The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has three critical issues as like network lifetime, saving energy and security. A sensor node has limited battery power so it does need an effective key distribution and management mechanism for a safe communication. In the research literatures a massive key supply and administration methodology had been proposed. Thus, there exists a literature report of numerous schemes in WSNs for Key management and done with a wide analysis to classify the available techniques of key management and the expectable network security on them is studied. In this method a secure efficient key management scheme is proposed with the help of Ant Lion Optimization (ALO) for WSN. The aim of this method is to obtain improved security strength with cost effective. The nature of the ant lion in hunting its prey is derived for the ALO algorithm which known for its meta-heuristic function.

In this article, we discuss empirical methods that can be add-on to enhance spatial image filters. Discussing on the implementation of such methods for Deep-Sky images from space telescopes. Spatial image filtering houses mean filters that use kernel method to filter a digital image in the spatial domain. To improve the performance of the existing filters and aid the new upcoming filter, a technique is developed that can be added to the filter to improve their performance. This study gives a detailed analysis of an empirical weight factor and exponential factoring methods for the mean filters that are proposed and implemented. The exponential factoring is applied to the recent mean filters Heron, Centroidal and Inverse-Contraharmonic. Performance analysis of both methods and comparison to existing mean filtering performance are represented. The images are classified into white or black based background and analyzed for performance parameters, comparing the results from the filters and filters with the exponential factoring. The empirical methods were proven to improve the efficiency in denoising of images of the existing mean filters and the new Heron and Centroidal mean filters, hence can be used as add-ons to existing spatial mean filters. One of the empirical techniques, exponential factoring is promising in denoising high density noised images. This novel method is implemented to filter noise from Deep Space images taken by space telescopes. Ultra-high-resolution images are filtered and implemented on Single Board Computers for remote handling, with testing done on MATLAB.

Analytical correlations of mathematical model that characterizes the processes of development of corrosive cavity on the surface of underground metallic pipeline are analysed. A pipeline in the environment of moist soil with solution of electrolyte is placed.In the top of cavity a crack appears and translates the system “underground pipeline (UP) – pumping station (PS)” in the state of depressurization.A new approach is proposed for diagnosing places of underground pipeline depressurization on the basis of two types of devices: pressure sensors and non-destructive testing devices, with the help of which we measure potentials and corrosion currents in surface defects.The presence of only pressure sensors makes it possible to set the coordinates of depressurization with a large error – 20…25%. Diagnosis of the pipeline only by devices BVS-K, VPP-M (at the first stage) allows to reveal surface defects. But this information is not enough for a qualitative experiment, as shown by the qualimetric quality criterion. Taking into account the pressure data in the second stage allows to determine which of the defects is the leakage point.A test example for the distance L1 = 6 km from the pumping station of the pipeline is considered. The results of the experiment are used for the example and the growth time of the corrosion crack t = 0.62 year is established.On the basis of computational experiment the errors of estimating of crack growth time t and coordinates of the leakage points was established. They present 5…7 %. Based on the method of neural networks, the main informative parameters for determining the places of depressurization on the surface of the underground pipe are estimated. A method for estimating the gas pressure change in the vicinity of the crack after depressurization of the pipeline was proposed. The principles of determining the limit values of the parameters of the system “pipeline – pumping station” taking into account the criteria of quality and strength of the metal are formulated.

Active noise cancellation is one of the fundamental problems in acoustic signal processing. The proposed work focuses on the enhancement of audio signal quality by cancelling the noise using interval analysis (arithmetic). An adaptive filters basically works on the concept of optimal weight calculations which is an optimization problem. This optimization problem can be more effectively solved using interval analysis. Interval analysis gives the boundary of the weight co officiants. Using interval Newton method, the weight co officiants are found. This algorithm is tested for noise cancellation of speech signal. The three adaptive filters algorithm used for comparison with the obtained results are Least Mean Square (LMS), Recursive Mean Square (RMS) filters and Kernel based filters. It is observed that the parameters mean square error is very less. The speed of convergence and signal to noise ratio is improved as compared to kernel methods. But processing time is very high and computational cost is doubled, as interval data includes infimum and supremum values. This algorithm can be used in noise cancelling headphones.

Authors: Heitmann George
Published: June 2020

This article presents an analysis of the assumption that study abroad is an academic program, and, in that sense, no different from, for example, programs offered in literature or physics. The purpose of the analysis is, first, to summarize briefly some standard study abroad practices, and indicate their revenue and cost implications. This is done in Part II. The second purpose, presented in Part III, is to discuss the opportunity cost of study abroad. The analysis presented therein will be familiar to economists, but will likely be novel to many college and study abroad administrators. It will demonstrate with a numerical example why the standard interpretation of study abroad costs is wrong, and provide an economic approach whereby costs can be correctly assessed.

 

The assumption underlying the analysis is that study abroad is an academic

program, and, in that sense, no different from, for example, programs offered

in literature or physics.

Cobalt Chromium vs Peek for Reinforcing Single Implant Mandibular Overdentures: A Clinical Study of Strain Analysis
Authors: EL Waseef Fatma A
Published: June 2020

Background: Earlier investigations affirmed promising results in oral rehabilitation of the elderly by single implant mandibular overdentures SIMOs. However, being highly prone to fracture in the anterior region of those overdentures is a concern for clinicians.

Objectives: This crossover study aimed at clinically assessing the deformation of denture bases of various reinforcement framework materials (PEEK or metal), for single implant mandibular overdentures.

Materials and Methods: Fifteen edentulous patients received one implant in the midline regions of their mandible. Three months later, each patient had two overdentures; one was metal-reinforced (Group I), and the other was PEEK reinforced (Group II). Six linear strain gauges were affixed to both lingual and buccal surfaces of the implant overdentures. Strain registrations were carried out while the participants were clenching. Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare denture strains between groups and channels.

Results: PEEK reinforcement Group (II) revealed statistically significant higher strains (p < .001) than metal reinforcement Group (I) regarding all channels. In both groups strain gauges on the lingual surface recorded compressive stresses. While the buccal gauges recorded tensile stresses.

Conclusion: Respecting single implant mandibular overdentures, metal reinforcement is recommended to be used compared to PEEK reinforcement as it was associated with reduced strains.
Boons or boondoggles: An assessment of the Salton Sea water importation options
Authors: Levers Lucia , Story S. Drew , Schwabe Kurt
Published: June 2020

Several ways to address the looming ecological disaster that is the Salton Sea have been proposed — including water importation. Here we considered two options: importing ocean water from the Sea of Cortés and leasing water from agricultural users in the Imperial Valley. We estimated the monetary costs for importing Sea of Cortés water to the Salton Sea and compared that with the costs of transferring water from agricultural users to the Salton Sea. We found that leasing water from agriculture would be substantially cheaper than ocean water imports. Additionally, all the infrastructure for leasing water from growers exists, which means water transfers could begin immediately. That is important given the present and increasing environmental and human health damages that are occurring at the Salton Sea.

Location is the most dominant influence on consumer behavior.
Vision for the blind: visual psychophysics and blinded inference for decision models
Authors: Smith Philip L. , Lilburn Simon D.
Published: June 2020

Evidence accumulation models like the diffusion model are increasingly used by researchers to identify the contributions of sensory and decisional factors to the speed and accuracy of decision-making. Drift rates, decision criteria, and nondecision times estimated from such models provide meaningful estimates of the quality of evidence in the stimulus, the bias and caution in the decision process, and the duration of nondecision processes. Recently, Dutilh et al. (Psychonomic Bulletin & Review 26, 1051–1069, 2019) carried out a large-scale, blinded validation study of decision models using the random dot motion (RDM) task. They found that the parameters of the diffusion model were generally well recovered, but there was a pervasive failure of selective influence, such that manipulations of evidence quality, decision bias, and caution also affected estimated nondecision times. This failure casts doubt on the psychometric validity of such estimates. Here we argue that the RDM task has unusual perceptual characteristics that may be better described by a model in which drift and diffusion rates increase over time rather than turn on abruptly. We reanalyze the Dutilh et al. data using models with abrupt and continuous-onset drift and diffusion rates and find that the continuous-onset model provides a better overall fit and more meaningful parameter estimates, which accord with the known psychophysical properties of the RDM task. We argue that further selective influence studies that fail to take into account the visual properties of the evidence entering the decision process are likely to be unproductive.

We introduce a molecular dynamics (MD) coarse-grained model for the description of tripod building blocks. This model has been used by us already for linear, V-shape, and tetratopic molecules. We wanted to further extend its possibilities to trifunctional molecules to prove its versatility. For the chosen systems we have also compared the MD results with Monte Carlo results on a triangular lattice. We have shown that the constraints present in the latter method can enforce the formation of completely different structures, not reproducible with off-lattice simulations. In addition to that, we have characterized the obtained structures regarding various parameters such as theoretical diffraction pattern and average association number.
The modern view of preliminaring as an effective technology of personnel selection
Authors: CHERNYSHOVA Liliia , YAKOVENKO Oleksandra
Published: June 2020

The paper describes the main problems and peculiarities of implementation of the technology preliminaring. A certain topic is relevant for the formation of the company's human resources potential, because it is a source for new innovative ideas and new prospects for any organization.
The purpose of the paper is to highlight the modern features of using prelim-ing in domestic enterprises, determine its advantages for a young specialist and study the impact of technology on the competitive development of organizations.
The paper defines the positive and negative aspects of preliminaring technology.It is determined that students are inspired to do more, are not afraid to take risks and spend their time on achieving the goal, they are dynamic, effectively comprehend production processes, better perceive innovations, and are enthusiastic, so the inclusion of such a workforce will have a positive impact on the activities of any enterprise. In the research process was considered the probability of introducing preliminaring in the activities of the national stevedoring LLC "Brooklyn-Kiev" and the scheme of the key management stages of implementation preliminaring in the activities of the stevedoring company. It is noticed that the use of preliminaring in the stevedoring company gives an opportunity for the new employee assigned with the use of this technology, adapt to the specifics of the enterprise, production process, corporate culture prevailing in the organization since he's already interned at this company and is familiar with its organizational structure, individual links of the work team. The paper provides recommendations for the effective use of this technology in the activities of innovation-oriented organizations. It is emphasized that a certain technology preliminaringu-a tool that will help bring the company to the forefront in business and any domestic enterprise that considers itself modern and promising should take it into account.
Protection of the labor rights, freedoms and social interests in the criminal law: experience of foreign countries
Authors: LYSKO Tetiana
Published: June 2020

The analysis of certain points of the criminal legislation of the foreign countries, which provide protection of labour rights, freedoms and social interests, is made in the paper with the help of comparative legal analysis. Despite the quite wide legal regulation of labour relations in all countries in the world, the special criminal law protection of labour rights has remained a feature of "eastern" countries of the continental family of law mainly, the so-called post-socialist family of law.
The analysis of criminal legislation of foreign countries regarding criminalization of the violation of labour rights of a person is conducted in the paper. Comparative-legal analysis allows defining general approaches to formation of labour rights of employees, including in the sphere of contractual relationship. The most similar and corresponding to the national criminal legislature are the Criminal codes of Spain an Polish Republic, which establish criminal liability for violation of not only labour legislation in force, but also conditions of individual labour acts (agreements, contracts etc.).
It is stated in the text that the protection of labour rights in the modern legislation of foreign countries often has fragmentary, unsystematic nature. The violation of labour safety rules is most often regulated in the criminal legislation of foreign countries. Other types of violation of the labour legislation are regulated with arbitration under administrative or civil legislation.
The drawbacks of the fatherland`s legislation are mentioned and the main positive improvements in this sphere after adoption of the Criminal Code of Ukraine in 2001 are emphasized. It was made the conclusion that the list of crimes against labour rights, which are provided by modern criminal legislations, is strong enough and has specific features. The list mentioned above could be the target for improving Ukrainian criminal legislation in certain cases. Therewith it is important to remember that formation of the legislation in the sphere of the protection of labour rights, freedoms and social interests directly depends on the development of the regulatory legislation. It is the clarity and certainty of blanket norms that will become the fundamental basis for the formation of effective criminal law protection of labour rights, freedoms and interests.
Galdós en vísperas de la Gloriosa
Authors: Rodríguez Gutiérrez Borja
Published: June 2020

Este trabajo recorre las múltiples y homogéneas visiones que Galdós nos dejó en la prensa, colaborando en La Nación, y en su producción literaria sobre los turbulentos años precedentes a revolución Gloriosa. La importancia de sus contribuciones en la “La revista de la semana”, y el minucioso análisis de los artículos que publicó entre febrero y junio de 1866, nos ayuda a aprender cómo era la sociedad que se encaminaba a la revolución septembrina, y a su vez a indagar en cómo era el Galdós que retrataba la sociedad de aquel entonces. El particular costumbrismo galdosiano estaba aún más vinculado a la actualidad que el de otros escritores: un costumbrismo entreverado de reflexiones políticas, críticas teatrales, pequeñas narraciones, ataques al neocatolicismo y otros elementos varios. Un Galdós que entendió su labor como crítico de la sociedad, revelador de lo negativo, del atraso y de la incultura.
Insights into differences in residents' attitudes
Authors: Soldić Frleta Daniela , Smolčić Jurdana Dora
Published: June 2020

This study investigates the differences in residents’
perceptions of various tourism impacts as well as residents’ level of support for
future tourism development with regard to their employment status (employed in
tourism, employed in other industries, and others: students, unemployed
persons, retirees). Moreover, the objective was to find out in what way those
perceptions influence the residents’ level of support for future tourism
development. The results show that there are statistically significant
differences in perceptions of economic, socio-cultural, environmental and
overall tourism impacts between the three groups of stakeholders. Respondents
working in tourism expressed the strongest support for future development,
while students, unemployed persons and retired residents tended to be less
supportive. The main contribution of this study lies in the insights it
provides into the attitudes of different groups of destination stakeholders
regarding tourism impacts as well as into their support for future tourism development.
Influence of limiting beliefs in soft employability skills
Authors: Susaeta Lourdes , Babinger Frank , Muñoz Natalia
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this paper is to identify the main soft skills demanded by the
hospitality industry, under the perception of master´s degree students and the
influence of limiting beliefs in skills development. After a literature review,
we lead a fieldwork based on workshops in which we conducted two questionnaires
and we analyze the behaviour of students through the method of tutor
observation. The results show a relationship between their soft-skills, and a significative negative correlation between perceived skills and the limiting beliefs. With
this exploratory paper, we try to contribute to the better knowledge of new
factors that may be hindering the development of the soft skills demanded in
postgraduate students in the hospitality sector. These preliminary conclusions
can be useful for both postgraduate schools and companies in their selection
and training processes.
