Spectral Domain Denoising Technique for Effective Removal of Noise in Medical Images

In general, various types of noise degrade the image during acquisition and transmission. In this work, the Gaussian noise that corrupts the CT image is removed by Fast Guided filter combined with Dual Tree Complex wavelet Transform . Guided filter is for edge aware image filtering that simply speed up from 0(N) time to 0(N/s2) time for a sub sampling ratio ‘s’. The filtered image is subtracted from the noisy image and results in method noise. The method noise has details in addition with the noise. The DTCWT is applied on the method noise to estimate the high frequency details by suppressing the noise effectively. The estimated noisy coefficients are removed and preserved with details by Bayes Shrink thresholding method and are discarded. Level dependent thresholding is carried out to preserve more details. Then the details are added with the filtered image to get the denoised image with details. The proposed method aims at increasing PSNR value when compared with the other existing techniques. Furthermore, the SSIM of the de-noised image will be improved.Keywords: Image filtering, Thresholding of wavelets, PSNR, DTCWT
Recognition of Emotional influence of a character. Experimental Design and Preliminary Results

This paper shows the experimental setup and preliminary results of a work in progress that looks to induce and recognize the emotional influence of a character. The experiment starts with a user seated on an bus. A character takes the bus, and he walks and sits in front of the user. Three different behaviors are shown by the character, i.e., indifference, anxiety, and aggressiveness. A set of sensors were used to record the biometric signals of the user, and a bag of features approach is applied to the signals in combination with a machinelearning algorithms to recognize different emotional responses.
EFFECTS OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON SUPPLY CHAIN FLEXIBILITY: EVIDENCE FROM TOURIST HOTELS IN TANZANIA

The study was designed to examine the effects of human resource management practices on supply chain flexibility. Specifically, it sought to determine the influence of participation practices, selective hiring practices, compensation practices, job security practices and teamwork practices on supply chain flexibility of tourist hotels in Tanzania. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey approach, where 228 respondents were involved. Hypotheses linking human resources management practices and supply chain flexibility were developed and tested using a structural equation modelling technique. The findings indicate that selective hiring practices, job security practices and teamwork practices have a significant positive influence on supply chain flexibility. The findings imply that employees with appropriate skills, knowledge, abilities and cultural fit, who are highly motivated through job security and compensation practices are important in ensuring supply chain flexibility in hotel settings. Therefore, directors and managers in the hotel industry are urged to deploy human resources management practices as strategies to increase supply chain flexibility as tactical measures to satisfy customers and win their loyalty.
Понятие авторитетности в научном издании: эволюция форм, смена авторитетов?

Some practices of scientific text creation were known since 13th century, however it is generally recognized that scientific book publishing started with invention of typography. That’s when scientists got the opportunity to make reference to printed media in order to back-up and build their research. Through centuries the authority belonged to academicians and members of scientific organizations consolidating professionals in information distribution, such as librarians and information search system operators. In the late 1900s economic dictate of large commercial publishing houses began to do more and more harm to science. Digital technologies development led many scientists to the Web where they headed network scientific publication projects intended to free the researchers from commercial editors’ yoke. Electronic devices use started the process of revision of scientific authority mechanisms, giving the authority back to those who make science. There is one step from open access to open science and prospects of renewed authority: collective and cooperation based.

Design and Implementation of a Threat-Specific Security Risk Assessment Tool

Security threats posed to individual cloud computing clients vary depending on their specific security requirements. However, Cloud Providers apply generic security risk assessment approaches which result do not consider client-specific security requirements. This results into unrealistic and inaccurate security risk evaluation. In this paper, we describe the detailed design and implementation of a security risk assessment tool. The tool supports a threat-specific method to security risk evaluation. The threat-specific method enables Cloud Providers to evaluate the security risk of their tenants based tenant-specific threats as dictated by their particular security requirements. Evaluation shows that the tool is highly usable, but lacks in scaleability.
Cooperative Experimentalism: Sharing to enhance electronic media

This article explores the impacts of information sharing and experimentation on electronic media practitioners. It draws on characteristics of ‘open’ or ‘DIY’ cultures prevalent in the technological ‘maker’ movement and suggests that we collectively describe such practices as cooperative experimentalism. In particular this article focuses on the discipline of music and describes how adopting an approach to making that privileges sharing of tools and knowledge might be a useful strategy in the development of handmade electronic music instruments and associated live performance practices. The implications of such trends in electronic media suggest that the notion of cooperative experimentalism may well apply more generally to creative electronic media practices in our (post) digital age.
A Deterministic k-means Initialization Method

The most prominent clustering algorithm k-means has a major drawback: it's sensitivity to the initial clustering centers. To overcome this problem, we propose to initialize k-means by using the Agglomerative Clustering Method (ACM) introduced by the authors in a previous work. The complexity of the proposed approach is O(nk), where n is the number of objects in the input dataset and k the number of clusters. We evaluated its performance by applying on various benchmark datasets and comparing with the related Katsavounidis, Kuo and Zhang (KKZ) O(nk) algorithm. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed approach produces more consistent clustering results in term of average Silhouette index.

[DC] The Modulation of Peripersonal Space Boundaries in Immersive Virtual Environments

A plethora of neurocognitive research suggests that the brain segments space into near and far space, known as peripersonal and extrapersonal space. For the purpose of this dissertation, we focus on peripersonal space, which can be categorized as the functional reaching and grasping distance around oneself. There are neurons in the parietal and frontal premotor cortices in the brain that expressly process multisensory stimuli within peripersonal space, and neurophysiological and neuropsychological studies along with fMRI data have produced results that demonstrate this to be biological fact (for a full review, see di Pellegrino [5]). There are some studies have branched out, using immersive virtual environments to determine the modulation of peripersonal space, and in this body of work there is strong evidence that it is modulated by several different social factors [5]. However, to our knowledge, this work has not been extended to encompass a full understanding of the different factors that affect peripersonal space and how it behaves in immersive environments and there is still much to be done in this territory.
A TPS Model of Block-Generating Method Based on PoW

Blockchain is favored for its characteristics of decentralization, non-tampering and traceability. As a large-scale application of blockchain technology, the PoWbased(Proof Of Work) block-generating method used by Bitcoin has always been a hot topic in the field of blockchain. This paper proposes a TPS(Transaction Per Second) model that can validly describe the PoW-based block-generating method and constructs a simulation experiment. Besides, actual data does not reach the peak of TPS, we assume that each block is full of transactions and get a set of fixed data. By comparing the fixed data, it can be found that when the block size is 1MB, the average relative error between the experimental results and the fixed TPS is 13.00%. The average relative error between the calculated results and the fixed values is 16.90%. When the block size is 4 MB, it is 14.93% and 15.25% respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed model can validly describe the TPS of the blockgenerating method based on PoW when it works saturated.
The Level of Teachers’ Awareness of Smart Schools in Jordan

The study aimed to identify the level of teachers’ awareness of smart schools in Jordan. In addition, it sought to find the statistical significant differences (α=0.05) of the level of teachers’ awareness of smart schools in Jordan according to gender, qualifications and experience. The study used the descriptive approach. The researchers developed a questionnaire that consisted of 35 items to collect the data from the study sample. The study population consisted of 1,554 teachers, with the study sample consisting of 466 teachers who were chosen according to the stratified sample approach. The study results showed that Jordanian teachers have different levels of awareness of the smart schools philosophy, principles, requirements, and benefits. Teachers are aware of some elements of smart schools but are not aware of others. Teachers have a high level of awareness that smart schools have become a necessary part of the political, social, economic and educational development of contemporary nations. However, their awareness is moderate on the role of smart schools in promoting participatory (or cooperative) education that allows the exchange of experiences among learners who them benefit from each other. Also, their awareness is moderate on the role of smart schools in the transition of schools to be learning organizations and community institutions that are not separated from the local communities and their realities and problems, and contribute efficiently to the process of comprehensive development. In light of the study findings, it is recommended that the Ministry of Education start a national project to transfer Jordanian schools from their current traditional settings to be smart schools in the near future. In addition, the Ministry of Education and private schools should make Jordanian teachers aware of the philosophies, requirements, and the effectiveness of smart schools.
GERAKAN BUPOLO MEMBACA SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN MASYARAKAT DI KABUPATEN BURU

The Buru Reading Movement is an initiation of service from Iqra Buru University which later became one of the Buru District Government programs that has been running since 2017. This program is intended to improve and create the reading habits of the people in Buru Regency. This research is a qualitative study that aims to describe the implementation of the Buru Reading Movement in Buru Regency. The research location is focused on Namlea District by considering the density and heterogeneity of the community. The number of informants who will be interviewed is 40 people taken purposively. The analysis technique used follows the concept given by Miles and Huberman. The results showed that the reading movement received a positive response from the community and village government where an active role was realized with the availability of village libraries, study rooms and learning houses. The availability of traveling cars only serves Namlea Village by prioritizing services in open spaces and public spaces, while for other villages it is still in the form of participation from the village government and the community to provide reading and learning spaces. However, this movement still leaves several obstacles, such as the availability of types of books that are still general in nature, have not been focused based on the target group and there is no assistance in reading and learning houses so that the utilization of these facilities for school-age people is not yet fully productive.
Influential Factors of Presentation Self-Efficacy in Chinese High School Students

Most of Chinese students in international high school face the task of presenting an oral presentation in Chinese and English.Their presentation performances have implications on their academic achievements, especially for those who plan to study abroad in the future.In order to enhance the ability in presentation, it is important to understand students' self-efficacy in presentation.This study adopted a mixed-method approach.Questionnaire survey was conducted with 74 Chinese students (39 boys and 35 girls, Mean age:15.6) to measure their selfefficacy in both Chinese and English presentation.The result showed students' self-efficacy in English presentation is significantly lower than that of Chinese presentation but there is no significant gender difference in the self-efficacy of both Chinese and English presentations.Meanwhile, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants (3 boys and 3 girls) to carry out an in-depth investigation into the influential factors to their self-efficacy.The findings showed that in contrast to Bandura's theory of self-efficacy sources, watching models' performances or receiving other's encouragement and persuasion is not enough to improve self-efficacy in presentations.Beyond Bandura's sources, many other influential factors including students' personalities and contextual factors also affect students' self-efficacy.Moreover, from the interview, it showed that all the participates hold a growth mindset, which is important for the development of self-efficacy in learning in Chinese students.These findings contribute to future research on the development of presentation self-efficacy in Chinese students.

Combining Local and Global Features to Reduce 2-Hop Label Size of Directed Acyclic Graphs

The graph data structure is popular because it can intuitively represent real-world knowledge. Graph databases have attracted attention in academia and industry because they can be used to maintain graph data and allow users to mine knowledge. Mining reachability relationships between two nodes in a graph, termed reachability query processing, is an important functionality of graph databases. Online traversals, such as the breadth-first and depth-first search, are inefficient in processing reachability queries when dealing with large-scale graphs. Labeling schemes have been proposed to overcome these disadvantages. The state-of-the-art is the 2-hop labeling scheme: each node has in and out labels containing reachable node IDs as integers. Unfortunately, existing 2-hop labeling schemes generate huge 2-hop label sizes because they only consider local features, such as degrees. In this paper, we propose a more efficient 2-hop label size reduction approach. We consider the topological sort index, which is a global feature. A linear combination is suggested for utilizing both local and global features. We conduct experiments over real-world and synthetic directed acyclic graph datasets and show that the proposed approach generates smaller labels than existing approaches.
Note per la storia dell’estetica musicale

This article explores possible ways of conceiving the history of musical aes- thetics. The debate related to the notions of consonance and dissonance is used as an example to emphasise the necessity of taking into account and compare different sources and theoretical paradigms (from mathematics to physics, from music theory to acoustics, from perception theory to the history of ideas). The article also underlines the opportunity to base the historical reconstruction not only on solid contextual knowledge, but also on a reflection informed by a philosophical approach. The latter is necessary to face the the- oretical problems identified in the sources.
