Assessment of the Influence of Education on Tourism Development in Enugu State, Nigeria

This study investigated the influence of Education on tourism development in Enugu state. Special focus was on the relationship between environmental awareness and residents’ commitment to tourism activities. Information for the study was basically from the questionnaire survey and participatory research method. The generated data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an inferential statistic with one-way Anova adopted to test hypothesis one and students T-test adopted to test hypothesis two of the study. The result of the analyses revealed that there exist a significant relationship between people with formal education and people without any form of education in the study area (F(10,5) =6.60, p t tab (2.12) at the 15 degree of freedom (2tailed), the null hypothesis was therefore rejected. It was observed that the lower the level of environmental awareness, the lower the residents’ commitment to tourism. Based on the above findings, it is recommended that all stakeholders and local people (residents) be involved in all the stages and processes of tourism development (planning, execution and benefit- sharing) and that environmental education be incorporated into the school curriculum in school within the state.
INSIGHT ON THE IMPACT OF ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM IN CANCER: A REVIEW

In the last decades, the endocannabinoid system has attracted a great interest in medicine and cancer disease is probably one of its most promising therapeutic areas. On the one hand, endocannabinoid system expression has been found altered in numerous types of tumours compared to healthy tissue, and this aberrant expression has been related to cancer prognosis and disease outcome, suggesting a role of this system in tumour growth and progression that depends on cancer type. On the other hand, it has been reported that cannabinoids exert an anticancer activity by inhibiting the proliferation, migration and/or invasion of cancer cells; and also tumour angiogenesis. However, some cannabinoids, at lower concentrations, may increase tumour proliferation, inducing cancer growth. The endocannabinoid system may be considered as a new therapeutic target, although further studies to fully establish the effect of cannabinoids on tumour progression remain necessary.
Development of an affordable system for 2D kinematics and dynamics analysis of human gait

Development of a low-cost, yet reliable, system for 2D gait analysis is presented in this paper. The system consists of a home video camera with speed of 25 fps, LED markers, PC and a technical computing software, which are used for capturing and processing the digital image of markers attached to human body during motion. In the experiments, a person is instructed to walk in a specially arranged measurement area. The recorded images are then digitally processed to detect and track the 2D coordinate of the markers over time. To conduct a dynamics analysis, a mathematical formulation for human motion is constructed where the body is modeled by a system of five rigid bars connected by joints. Finally, a program is developed to plot and calculate the kinematics and dynamics data of human gait, where the markers position data over time, and other variables such as dimensions and weight of the body are used as the input in the program.
3DClusterViSu: 3D clustering analysis of super-resolution microscopy data by 3D Voronoi tessellations

Motivation Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) can play an important role in integrated structural biology approaches to identify, localize and determine the 3D structure of cellular structures. While many tools exist for the 3D analysis and visualization of crystal or cryo-EM structures little exists for 3D SMLM data, which can provide unique insights but are particularly challenging to analyze in three dimensions especially in a dense cellular context. Results We developed 3DClusterViSu, a method based on 3D Voronoi tessellations that allows local density estimation, segmentation and quantification of 3D SMLM data and visualization of protein clusters within a 3D tool. We show its robust performance on microtubules and histone proteins H2B and CENP-A with distinct spatial distributions. 3DClusterViSu will favor multi-scale and multi-resolution synergies to allow integrating molecular and cellular levels in the analysis of macromolecular complexes. Availability and impementation 3DClusterViSu is available under http://cbi-dev.igbmc. fr/cbi/voronoi3D. Supplementary information Supplementary figures are available at Bioinformatics online.
Hemispheric Asymmetries in the Perceptual Representations of Words

The representation of words in sentences can involve the activation and integration of perceptual information. For example, readers who are asked to view pictures of objects relating to a word in a sentence are influenced by perceptual information in the sentence context-readers are faster to respond to a picture of a whole apple after reading, " There is an apple in the bag, " than after reading, " There is an apple in the salad. " The purpose of this study was to examine how the two cerebral hemispheres use perceptual information about words as a function of sentence context. Patients who had damage to the left or right hemisphere and age-matched control participants read sentences that described, but did not entail, the shape or state of an object. They then made recognition judgments to pictures that either matched or mismatched the perceptual form implied by the sentence. Responses and latencies were examined for a match effect – faster and more accurate responses to pictures in the match than mismatch condition – controlling for comprehension ability and lesion size. When comprehension ability and lesion size are properly controlled, left-hemisphere-damaged patients and control participants exhibited the expected match effect, whereas right-hemisphere-damaged participants showed no effect of match condition. These results are consistent with research implicating the right hemisphere in the representation of contextually relevant perceptual information. Language comprehension Laterality Right-hemisphere damage Left-hemisphere damage 1. Introduction The retrieval of contextually relevant word meanings is an essential feature of language comprehension. Consider the meaning of the word lamb across different sentence contexts. The word entails features in the sentence " Mary had a little lamb " that are different from those in the sentence " Mary ate a little lamb ". Recent theories of sentence processing suggest that understanding the meaning of a word in a sentence involves the activation of contextually relevant perceptual According to this literature, 'perceptual representations' refer to knowledge about how an object looks, feels, sounds, smells, etc. These representations are stored in the same or neighboring brain
Least squares dip and coherency attributes

Seismic images exhibit considerable local continuity. With the exception of unusual amplitude anomalies and faults, most seismic events can be characterized as exhibiting smoothly varying local dip. Bahorich and Farmer and Gersztenkorn and Marfurt (see “Suggestions for further reading”) show that deviations from local planar behavior can be crucial in unraveling complex fault patterns, improving interpretations, and delineating reservoir extent.

Effect of variable bathymetry on the amplitude of teleseismic tsunamis: A ray‐tracing experiment

We apply surface wave ray-tracing techniques to tsunami propagation in an ocean of variable depth. Because tsunami velocities are proportional to the square root of the depth of the water column, the juxtaposition of oceanic plateaux and basins generates strong lateral velocity gradients, and bathymetric features can act as lenses focusing or defocusing the tsunami waves. We present a reconstruction of the tsunami wave field from the great Chilean earthquake of 1960: an order-of-magnitude computation based on the concept of ray-density provides qualitative agreement with observations at several sites in the Pacific Ocean. We also demonstrate the possibility of using “reciprocal” maps to identify tsunamigenic zones that present particular danger for a given receiving shore.
The Cerro Gordo Site: A Rural Settlement of the Aztec Period in the Basin of Mexico

AbstractWhile the dramatic recent excavations at the site of the Templo Mayor of Tenochtitlan have vividly brought to life the richness of Aztec elite rituals at the capital of this huge, wealthy, and powerful empire, life in rural settlements in the Basin of Mexico at the same time is not as well understood. Available data on the subject are limited to ethnohistorical documentation and the general surveys of the Basin of Mexico Project, and to isolated instances of excavation. In this report, a rural village in the Teotihuacan Valley is described, using information derived from an intensive survey of the site, and drawing also on ethnohistorical sources, in order to address such issues as the relationship of the village to its environmental and sociopolitical settings, and the nature of the variety of architectural remains found at the site.

Integrated Omic Analysis of Lung Cancer Reveals Metabolism Proteome Signatures with Prognostic Impact

An Omics Array integrating DNA gene copy number, mRNA transcriptome, and quantified proteome was assembled into a genetic map representing non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Data was from patient-matched normal lung, primary tumors, and patient tumor-derived xenograft tumors. Dysregulated proteins not previously implicated as cancer drivers were found encoded throughout the genome including but not limited to regions of recurrent DNA amplification/deletion in NSCLC. Clustering revealed signatures comprising metabolism proteins particularly highly recapitulated between matched primary and PDX tumors. Interrogation of The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed sizeable cohorts of NSCLC patients with DNA alterations in genes encoding the metabolism proteome signatures, and accompanied by differences in survival. Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2), a key enzyme in Ser/Gly/folate/1-carbon metabolism, is upregulated in NSCLC proteomes and implicated as a driver of recurrent chromosome 12q14.1 amplification.

COST MINIMIZATION OF NUTRIENT REDUCTION IN WATERSHED MANAGEMENT USING LINEAR PROGRAMMING 1

ABSTRACT: Linear programming is applied to identify the least cost strategy for reaching politically specified phosphorus and total suspended solids reduction targets for the Fox‐Wolf river basin in Northeast Wisconsin. The programming model uses data collected on annualized unit reduction costs associated with five categories of sources of phosphorus and total suspended solids discharge in each of the 41 sub‐watersheds in the basin to determine the least cost management strategy. Results indicate that: (1) cost‐effective nutrient reduction requires careful selection of geographic areas and source categories to address throughout the watershed; (2) agricultural sources are the most cost‐effective to address in the basin; and (3) care should be exercised in setting nutrient reduction targets, given that there are likely to be significantly increasing marginal costs of nutrient reduction; the model predicts that lowering the most restrictive target by 33 percent would cut reduction expenditures by about 75 percent. Policy implications of the model include support for the investigation and potential development of institutional arrangements that enable cost‐effective nutrient reduction activities to occur, such as the creation of an agency with authority over a given watershed, coordinated watershed management activities, or nutrient trading programs.
HOG pedestrian detection applied to scenes with heavy occlusion

This paper describes the implementation of a pedestrian detection system which is based on the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) principle and which tries to improve the overall detection performance by combining several part based detectors in a simple voting scheme. The HOG feature based part detectors are specifically trained for head, head-left, head-right, and left/right sides of people, assuming that these parts should be recognized even in very crowded environments like busy public transportation platforms. The part detectors are trained on the INRIA people image database using a polynomial Support Vector Machine. Experiments are undertaken with completely different test samples which have been extracted from two imaging campaigns in an outdoor setup and in an underground station. Our results demonstrate that the performance of pedestrian detection degrades drastically in very crowded scenes, but that through the combination of part detectors a gain in robustness and detection rate can be achieved at least for classifier settings which yield very low false positive rates.

Radiative effect of ozone change on stratosphere-troposphere exchange

[1] The potential radiative impact of ozone changes on stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) is investigated by a series of climate model simulations. The impact of an arbitrary 15% O3 change on temperature, stratospheric water vapor, and cross-tropopause mass flux are compared to the corresponding effects from a doubling of atmospheric CO2. Our analysis shows that a 15% global O3 decrease can cause a maximum cooling of 2.4 K in the stratosphere and ∼7.2% increase in the tropical upwelling. This cooling also results in a higher tropical tropopause and lower tropopause temperatures, and hence less stratospheric water vapor and smaller amplitude of the so-called tape recorder signal. A global 15% O3 increase gives rise to ∼2.1 K stratospheric warming and ∼4% decrease in the tropical upwelling. This O3 increase results in more water vapor entering the stratosphere owing to a lower tropopause and higher tropopause temperatures. The effect of a ±15% change in O3 below 100 hPa is relatively small. However, the effect of a 15% O3 increase between 200 and 70 hPa is similar to that of a 15% O3 increase through the whole domain, suggesting that ozone increases in the UTLS dominate the impacts on temperature and tropical upwelling. Sea surface temperature (SST) changes associated with increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG) have a profound impact on the STE. Without corresponding SST changes, the radiative effects of the CO2 doubling on the STE is less significant than a global 15% O3 increase. When the SST changes are considered in the doubled CO2 experiment, the tropical upwelling is significantly increased (by 20.4%) with a much higher, but warmer, tropopause.
Crop classification based on multi-temporal satellite remote sensing data for agro-advisory services

In this paper, we envision the use of satellite images coupled with GIS to obtain location specific crop type information in order to disseminate crop specific advises to the farmers. In our ongoing mKRISHI R project, the accurate information about the field level crop type and acreage will help in the agro-advisory services and supply chain planning and management. The key contribution of this paper is the field level crop classification using multi temporal images of Landsat-8 acquired during November 2013 to April 2014. The study area chosen is Vani, Maharashtra, India, from where the field level ground truth information for various crops such as grape, wheat, onion, soybean, tomato, along with fodder and fallow fields has been collected using the mobile application. The ground truth information includes crop type, crop stage and GPS location for 104 farms in the study area with approximate area of 42 hectares. The seven multi-temporal images of the Landsat-8 were used to compute the vegetation indices namely: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Simple Ratio (SR) and Difference Vegetation Index (DVI) for the study area. The vegetation indices values of the pixels within a field were then averaged to obtain the field level vegetation indices. For each crop, binary classification has been carried out using the feed forward neural network operating on the field level vegetation indices. The classification accuracy for the individual crop was in the range of 74.5% to 97.5% and the overall classification accuracy was found to be 88.49%.

The scattering analog for infiltration in porous media

This review takes the form of a set of Chinese boxes. The outermost box gives a brief general account of modem developments in the mathematical physics of unsaturated flow in soils and porous media. This provides the necessary foundations for the second box, which describes the quasi-linear analysis of steady multidimensional unsaturated flow, which is an essential prerequisite to the analog. Only then can we proceed to the innermost box, devoted to our major theme. An exact analog exists between steady quasi-linear flow in unsaturated soils and porous media and the scattering of plane pulses, and the analog carries over to the scattering of plane harmonic waves. Numerous established results, and powerful techniques such as Watson transforms, far-field scattering functions, and optical theorems, become available for the solution and understanding of problems of multidimensional infiltration. These are needed, in particular, to provide the asymptotics of the physically interesting and practically important limit of flows strongly dominated by gravity, with capillary effects weak but nonzero. This is the limit of large s, where s is a characteristic length of the water supply surface normalized with respect to the sorptive length of the soil. These problems are singular in the sense that ignoring capillarity gives a totally incorrect picture of the wetted region. In terms of the optical analog, neglecting capillarity is equivalent to using geometrical optics, with coherent shadows projected to infinity. When exact solutions involve exotic functions, difficulties of both analysis and series summation may be avoided through use of small-s and large-s expansions provided by the analog. Numerous examples are given of solutions obtained through the analog. The scope for extending the application to flows from surface sources, to anisotropic and heterogeneous media, to unsteady flows, and to linear convection-diffusion processes in general is described briefly.
Topographic Features of Debris Flow Gullies in Moxi Basin, Southwestern of China

Debris flows are the main geological hazards in the Moxi basin, which locate on the eastern slope of the M.T Minya Konka, Sichuan province, southwestern of China. The location of 49 debris flow gullies have been identified and mapped from the 1:50000 scale through the extensive field survey across the Moxi basin. The historical events data were collected from documents and visit to local residents, and were used as the basis for frequency analysis. Anymore, topographic features of debris flow gullies have been calculated using GIS software. The analysis showed that 73.5% of the debris flow gullies are not randomly distributed but concentrated directly adjacent to the western side of Moxi fault, and only 26.5% are located to the eastern side. The numbers, frequency, catchments area, gully length, gully slope ratio of these debris flow gullies in Moxi basin were affected by the glaciations and geological activity. The results show potential activity of debris flow in Moxi basin is strong, this research is essential to debris flow hazards mitigation.
The sedimentary environment of the Late Devonian East Greenland tetrapods

Abstract The Late Devonian early tetrapods in East Greenland occur in the Celsius Bjerg Group. Key occurrences are located in a detailed stratigraphic section used here to interpret the sedimentary palaeoenvironments. The palaeoenvironment for the Britta Dal Formation (which contains both Ichthyostega and Acanthostega) is reinterpreted. The Britta Dal Formation channels have flat bases, are poorly channelized, are of low sinuosity and are part of a very major distributory system that periodically experienced extreme flooding. The tetrapod fossils were recovered from an ephemeral system that was not permanently habitable in the immediate area. Plant megafossils are poorly preserved casts and impressions dominated by lycopsids and fern-like plants. The overbank siltstones are dominated by arid soil forming processes and comprise a spectacular sequence of vertisols. The 1174 m in situ Ichthyostega locality in Paralleldal was relocated and occurs just below the midpoint of the second megacycle in the Britta Dal Formation.
