On the Construction of QC-LDPC Codes Based on Integer Sequence With Low Error Floor

Quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes have efficient hardware implementation and excellent correcting performance. However, the existence of trapping sets can affect the decoding performance. In this letter, a novel class of QC-LDPC codes based on integer sequence with column weight 3 and girth at least 8 is proposed. If the numbers in the sequence are different, the QC-LDPC codes free of elementary trapping sets (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${a}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${b}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) with <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${a} \leq10$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${b} \leq $ </tex-math></inline-formula> 3 can be constructed. The row weight of the parity check matrix can be arbitrary and we give a lower bound of the circulant permutation matrix (CPM) size. Simulation results show that the generated codes have good performance with low error floor over AWGN channels.
Role of Aggregator in Coordinating Residential Virtual Power Plant in “StoreNet” : A Pilot Project Case Study

Towards the development and demonstration of an innovative business model where the value proposition for consumers/prosumers, aggregators and network operators are well maintained, this study assesses the performance of different aggregation control strategies for a distributed energy storage based residential virtual power plant (VPP). A special focus is given on the social welfare and network strength and their relation to energy storage capacity and power budgets allocation. The study is based on a real-life demonstration project, StoreNet where the basic self-consumption (SB-SC) control strategy has already been deployed. Analysing one-year measured data, it is observed that the implemented SB-SC approach allows 16%−19% electricity cost-saving, whereas the proposed VPP-bill minimisation approach can benefit from 37%−42% cost saving. This is also 7%−8% higher than the single home bill minimisation approach where the community does not participate in the VPP model. In contrast, the peak shaving approach is more favourable for the network operator. It reduces the load peak by 46.5%−64.7% and also drastically reduces the benefits for the customers and aggregator. Based on these studies and learning, some recommendations are made addressing the integration aspect of residential VPP and the future development of this concept for the local and wholesale energy markets.

Energy is well known to be one of the most expensive nutrients in the formulation of poultry feeds.
Space semantic aware loss function for embedding creation in case of transaction data

Transaction data are the most popular data type of bank domain, they are often represented as sparse vectors with a large number of features. Using sparse vectors in deep learning tasks is computationally inefficient and may lead to overfitting. Аutoencoders are widely applied to extract new useful features in a lower dimensional space. In this paper we propose to use a novel loss function based on the metric that estimates the quality of mapping the semantic structure of the original tabular data to the embedded space. The proposed loss function allows preserving the item relation structure of the original space during the dimension reduction transformation. The obtained results show the improvement of the resulting embedding properties while using the combination of the new loss function and the traditional mean squared error one.
Cloud Computing in Nigeria

Globally, in today’s contemporary society, nothing matters much than having knowledge of any viable technology outcome that drives business into profitability and viability. Cloud computing, a technology that is made possible through virtualization within networks, represents a shift from the traditional ownership of infrastructure and other resources by every distinct organization to a more calculable pattern in which computer resources are rented online to organizations on either as a pay-as-you-use basis or by subscription. This work is carried out to investigate the impediments to cloud computing deployment in Nigeria while assessing the enormous benefits that organizations stand to gain by adopting the technology. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data for analysis and scientific testing to validate the veracity or otherwise of the postulated null hypotheses by subjecting them to t-distribution test (see appendix ‘a’). The target audience are individuals in businesses that appreciates knowledge for better initiative, and students of studying courses like business administration/management, information technology and computer science.

Tri-Adaptive Method for Improving the Resolution of MEMS Digital Sensors

The micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) digital sensors have been widely used in various fields, e.g., industrial application, navigation and positioning, etc. In order to make full use of the resolution of a sensor, people tend to choose the lower range, which often leads to the out-of-range problem. In fact, it is a tradeoff among resolution, range, and efficiency. It is possible to optimize two of these, but difficult to optimize all three. Therefore, a tri-adaptive method, i.e., adaptive range, adaptive sampling frequency, and adaptive output frequency, is proposed in this paper. We set up two test platforms based on the two common MEMS digital sensors: MPU6050 and MPU9250. The turntable experiments and numerical simulation experiments are conducted to verify the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can significantly improve resolution based on the tradeoff among resolution, range, and efficiency. Besides, the proposed method is of generalization, which can be applied in industrial robots, medical electronics, and other fields.

This study aims to analyze the specialized literature on the protocols, instruments, and techniques used to train and assess strength in gymnastics practitioners or athletes who are represented by the International Gymnastics Federation (Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique – FIG). The systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Systematic searches on the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, SciELO, and SPORTDiscus databases were conducted using the following keywords: “assessment,” OR “measurement,” OR “evaluation,” AND “child*,” OR “young,” OR “adolesc*,” AND “athlete*,” OR “practitioner,” OR “gymnast*,” AND “gymnastic*,” OR “trampoline,” AND “muscle strength,” OR “muscle power,” OR “strength,” OR “power,” OR “concentric,” OR “performance,” OR “explosive strength,” OR “motor tests”. Studies included in this review address the assessment and training of strength in gymnastics or athletes. Fourteen studies assessing the physical capacity strength in practitioners or gymnastic athletes were the basis of this systematic review. These articles describe low-cost, easy-to-apply protocols and instruments performed in the training gym. The included articles focused on assessing the strength level of adolescent male and female practitioners or athletes for talent selection and detection, as well as lesion reduction. Despite the benefits of strength training, such as better performance and fewer injuries, in general, strength is not regularly assessed. Only studies encompassing artistic and rhythmic gymnastics were found.
An overview of the redeveloped Localized Aviation MOS Program (LAMP) for short-range forecasting

The National Weather Service’s (NWS) Meteorological Development Laboratory (MDL) provides objective guidance to NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) to assist in forecasting sensible weather. LAMP, previously called the Local AWIPS MOS Program and now renamed the Localized Aviation MOS Program, is one such objective guidance product developed by MDL. LAMP was designed to run locally at WFOs within the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS), produce forecast guidance relevant to the WFO’s regional area, and serve as an update to Nested Grid Model (NGM) MOS guidance. This NGM-based LAMP system produces guidance for the contiguous United States (CONUS) and provides forecasts at hourly projections out to 20 hours. It has been running locally in AWIPS at WFOs in the CONUS since 1997 and runs every three hours, at 0200, 0500, 0800, . , 2300 UTC (Kelly and Ghirardelli 1998).
Cognitive Dimension of Learning Using Garden-Based Education towards Sustainability: A Meta-Synthesis

Garden-based education (GBE) is an innovative approach to enhancing learners’ academic performance. However, the mechanism of how it develops the cognitive domain of learning is unclear. This meta-synthesis of 22 published articles focusing on garden-based education integration in the educative process examined its impact on mental aspects of learning. Secondary data from each reviewed article were extracted and analyzed thematically. Five themes emerged describing the impact of GBE on the cognitive domain of learning, namely, 1) experiential learning, 2) meaningful learning, 3) explicit and implicit learning, 4) discovery learning, and 5) transmissible learning. GBE is a successful program in most of the basic education curriculum integration contributing to the improvement of academic performance. Albeit, there is no standard template for its implementation as it varies across context and educational system, adopting the general principle of school garden learning in the teaching and learning process is beneficial for sustainable learning outcomes.
Impact of Frontier Development of Alveolar Bone Grafting on Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Sufficient alveolar bone is a safeguard for achieving desired outcomes in orthodontic treatment. Moving a tooth into an alveolar bony defect may result in a periodontal defect or worse–tooth loss. Therefore, when facing a pathologic situation such as periodontal bone loss, alveolar clefts, long-term tooth loss, trauma, and thin phenotype, bone grafting is often necessary to augment bone for orthodontic treatment purposes. Currently, diverse bone grafts are used in clinical practice, but no single grafting material shows absolutely superior results over the others. All available materials demonstrate pros and cons, most notably donor morbidity and adverse effects on orthodontic treatment. Here, we review newly developed graft materials that are still in the pre-clinical stage, as well as new combinations of existing materials, by highlighting their effects on alveolar bone regeneration and orthodontic tooth movement. In addition, novel manufacturing techniques, such as bioprinting, will be discussed. This mini-review article will provide state-of-the-art information to assist clinicians in selecting grafting material(s) that enhance alveolar bone augmentation while avoiding unfavorable side effects during orthodontic treatment.
Vibration performance of timber-concrete composite floor section –verification and validation of analytical and numerical results based on experimental data

ABSTRACT Vibration performance of a one-way simply supported timber-concrete composite (TCC) floor section has been studied using analytical as well as numerical methods. Focal points have been verification and validation of results from analytical and numerical calculations of vibration response based on experimental data. For the analytical calculations, floor bending stiffness and vibrational response are determined from methods proposed in the current and revised versions of Eurocode 5. The numerical calculations based on the finite element (FE) method are done using 3D solid elements with orthotropic material parameters. When comparing the results of the FE analysis, better agreement with the experimental data is reached for the fundamental frequency when 3D solid elements are used rather than 3D beam elements. Furthermore, better agreement with the experimental data is reached for RMS acceleration by FE analysis rather than the method based on Eurocode 5. For detailed analysis, the authors suggest performing dynamic FE analysis and calculating vibration response from the TCC floor’s modal responses as eigenmodes and natural eigenfrequencies below 40 Hz. For future studies, it is recommended that the verification of vibration response may be accomplished by applying standard EN 16929.
Preclinical Autoimmune Disease: a Comparison of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Multiple Sclerosis and Type 1 Diabetes

The preclinical phase of autoimmune disorders is characterized by an initial asymptomatic phase of varying length followed by nonspecific signs and symptoms. A variety of autoimmune and inflammatory manifestations can be present and tend to increase in the last months to years before a clinical diagnosis can be made. The phenotype of an autoimmune disease depends on the involved organs, the underlying genetic susceptibility and pathophysiological processes. There are different as well as shared genetic or environmental risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms between separate diseases. To shed more light on this, in this narrative review we compare the preclinical disease course of four important autoimmune diseases with distinct phenotypes: rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). In general, we observed some notable similarities such as a North-South gradient of decreasing prevalence, a female preponderance (except for T1D), major genetic risk factors at the HLA level, partly overlapping cytokine profiles and lifestyle risk factors such as obesity, smoking and stress. The latter risk factors are known to produce a state of chronic systemic low grade inflammation. A central characteristic of all four diseases is an on average lengthy prodromal phase with no or minor symptoms which can last many years, suggesting a gradually evolving interaction between the genetic profile and the environment. Part of the abnormalities may be present in unaffected family members, and autoimmune diseases can also cluster in families. In conclusion, a promising strategy for prevention of autoimmune diseases might be to address adverse life style factors by public health measures at the population level.
The Ratio of RAGE Isoforms Is Affected by HMGB1 and Its Truncated Form Only in A549 but not in H1299 Lung Cancer Cell Lines

The Receptor of Advanced Glycated End products (RAGE) could exist in two forms, a membrane bound and a soluble one. RAGE is highly expressed during embryonic development and decreases in all tissues except the lung in adult organisms. Lung RAGE mediates lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, etc. The lung cancers, among the most invasive of tumours, are reported to express low levels of RAGE. A specific RAGE ligand is the nuclear protein HMGB1. We examined the effect of HMGB1 and its truncated form lacking the C-tail (HMGB1ΔC) on RAGE expression in NSCLC cancer cell lines with different invasive capacity: A549 with better prognosis and H1299 with negative outcome. In A549 upon addition of ligands two important results are observed: (i) total RAGE expression is augmented 1.5 times and 1.7 times for HMGB1 and HMGB1ΔC, respectively, and (ii), a full-length membrane variant (flRAGE) is observed and in the presence of HMGB1ΔC its expression is comparable with the soluble one. In control H1299 lung cancer cells the dominant form of RAGE was the flRAGE while sRAGE represents one third of the whole amount of the receptor. HMGB1 and HMGB1ΔC do not affect the total RAGE amount and the ratio between flRAGE and sRAGE. In the case of lung cancer, the higher amount of RAGE is related to better prognoses and less metastatic ability which means that the stimulation of RAGE expression by HMGB1 and HMGB1ΔC in A549 is considered a positive tendency. In the case of the more aggressive lung cancer H1299 both ligands do not change the RAGE behaviour and in this way do not affect the invasive potential of the cancer cells.
Management and Analysis of Sports Health Level of the Elderly Based on Deep Learning

With the accelerating rate of population aging in China, the health of the elderly has received more and more attention and has become one of the most important issues in the elderly care industry. Because of insufficient research on the personal health of the elderly, the value of medical examination data cannot be fully exploited, many physical indicators have a certain impact on overall health or heart health, and there are few studies on heart health assessment. This paper proposes a deep learning-based elderly management analysis method of human exercise health level, using the exercise health management model to evaluate the heart health level of the elderly. Firstly, the indicators to measure heart health are proposed through traditional expert knowledge and personal health index to analyze heart health. Through dynamic assessment, predict the heart health status at the next time point, analyze possible heart diseases, and provide corresponding methods for the health of the elderly, which helps improve the physical health of the elderly. Quality of life provides assistance to meet the needs of improving the health of older adults.

New Insights into Hippo/YAP Signaling in Fibrotic Diseases

Fibrosis results from defective wound healing processes often seen after chronic injury and/or inflammation in a range of organs. Progressive fibrotic events may lead to permanent organ damage/failure. The hallmark of fibrosis is the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), mostly produced by pathological myofibroblasts and myofibroblast-like cells. The Hippo signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved kinase cascade, which has been described well for its crucial role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell fate decisions, and stem cell self-renewal during development, homeostasis, and tissue regeneration. Recent investigations in clinical and pre-clinical models has shown that the Hippo signaling pathway is linked to the pathophysiology of fibrotic diseases in many organs including the lung, heart, liver, kidney, and skin. In this review, we have summarized recent evidences related to the contribution of the Hippo signaling pathway in the development of organ fibrosis. A better understanding of this pathway will guide us to dissect the pathophysiology of fibrotic disorders and develop effective tissue repair therapies.
