Authors: Zhou Sizhong ,   School of Science, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu 212100, P. R. China
Published: July 2024

A graph \(G\) is called a fractional ID-\((g,f)\)-factor-critical covered graph if for any independent set \(I\) of \(G\) and for every edge \(e \in E(G-I)\), \(G-I\) has a fractional \((g,f)\)-factor \(h\) such that \(h(e) = 1\). We give a sufficient condition using degree condition for a graph to be a fractional ID-\((g,f)\)-factor-critical covered graph. Our main result is an extension of Zhou, Bian, and Wu’s previous result [S. Zhou, Q. Bian, J. Wu, A result on fractional ID-\(k\)-factor-critical graphs, Journal of Combinatorial Mathematics and Combinatorial Computing 87(2013) 229–236] and Yashima’s previous result [T. Yashima, A degree condition for graphs to be fractional ID-\([a,b]\)-factor-critical, Australasian Journal of Combinatorics 65(2016) 191–199].

A chemical structure specifies the molecular geometry of a given molecule or solid in the form of atom arrangements. One way to analyze its properties is to simulate its formation as a product of two or more simpler graphs. In this article, we take this idea to find upper and lower bounds for the generalized Randić index \(\mathcal{R}_{\alpha}\) of four types of graph products, using combinatorial inequalities. We finish this paper by providing the bounds for \(\mathcal{R}_{\alpha}\) of a line graph and rooted product of graphs.

Published: July 2024

In this paper, we introduce graceful and near graceful labellings of several families of windmills. In particular, we use Skolem-type sequences to prove (near) graceful labellings exist for windmills with \(C_{3}\) and \(C_{4}\) vanes, and infinite families of \(3,5\)-windmills and \(3,6\)-windmills. Furthermore, we offer a new solution showing that the graph obtained from the union of \(t\) 5-cycles with one vertex in common (\(C_{5}^{t}\)) is graceful if and only if \(t \equiv 0, 3 \pmod{4}\) and near graceful when \(t \equiv 1, 2 \pmod{4}\).

When using airborne LiDAR point clouds for city modelling and road extraction, point cloud classification is a crucial step. There are numerous ways for classifying point clouds, but there are still issues like redundant multi-dimensional feature vector data and poor point cloud classification in intricate situations. A point cloud classification method built on the fusing of multikernel feature vectors is suggested as a solution to these issues. The technique employs random forest to classify point cloud data by merging colour information, and it extracts feature vectors based on point primitives and object primitives, respectively. In this study, a densely populated area was chosen as the study area. Light airborne LIDAR mounted on a delta wing was used to collect point cloud data at a low altitude (170 m) over a dense cross-course. The point cloud data were then combined, corrected, and enhanced with texture data, and the houses were vectorized on the point cloud. The accuracy of the results was then assessed. With a median inaccuracy of 4.8 cm and a point cloud data collection rate of 83.3%, using airborne LIDAR to measure house corners can significantly lighten the labour associated with external house corner measurements.This test extracts the texture information of point cloud data through the efficient processing of high-density point cloud data, providing a reference for the application of texture information of airborne LIDAR data and a clear understanding of its accuracy.

In this paper, we consider a degree sum condition sufficient to imply the existence of k vertex-disjoint chorded cycles in a graph G . Let σ 4 ( G ) be the minimum degree sum of four independent vertices of G . We prove that if G is a graph of order at least 11 k + 7 and σ 4 ( G ) ≥ 12 k − 3 with k ≥ 1 , then G contains k vertex-disjoint chorded cycles. We also show that the degree sum condition on σ 4 ( G ) is sharp.

Let g,f:V(G)→{0,1,2,3,⋯} be two functions satisfying g(x)≤f(x) for every x∈V(G). A (g,f)-factor of G is defined as a spanning subgraph F of G such that g(x)≤dF(x)≤f(x) for every x∈V(G). An (f,f)-factor is simply called an f-factor. Let φ be a nonnegative integer-valued function defined on V(G). Set Deveng,f={φ:g(x)≤φ(x)≤f(x) for every x∈V(G) and ∑x∈V(G)φ(x) is even}. If for each φ∈Deveng,f, G admits a φ-factor, then we say that G admits all (g,f)-factors. All (g,f)-factors are said to be all [1,k]-factors if g(x)≡1 and f(x)≡k for any x∈V(G). In this paper, we verify that for a connected multigraph G satisfying NG(X)=V(G) or |NG(X)|>(1+1k+1)|X|−1 for every X⊂V(G), kG admits all [1,k]-factors, where k≥2 is an integer and kG denotes the graph derived from G by replacing every edge of G with k parallel edges.
RICE: A Dataset and Baseline for Cloud Removal in Remote Sensing Images
Authors: Zhou Xin ,   Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China.
Published: July 2024

Removing clouds is an essential preprocessing step in analyzing remote sensing images, as cloud-based overlays commonly occur in optical remote sensing images and can significantly limit the usability of the acquired data. Deep learning has exhibited remarkable progress in remote sensing, encompassing scene classification and change detection tasks. Nevertheless, the appli-cation of deep learning techniques to cloud removal in remote sensing images is currently con-strained by the limited availability of training datasets explicitly tailored for neural networks. This paper presents the Remote sensing Image Cloud rEmoving dataset (RICE) to address this challenge and proposes baseline models incorporating a convolutional attention mechanism, which has demonstrated superior performance in identifying and restoring cloud-affected regions, with quantitative results indicating a 3.08% improvement in accuracy over traditional methods. This mechanism empowers the network to comprehend better the spatial structure, local details, and inter-channel correlations within remote sensing images, thus effectively addressing the diverse distributions of clouds. Moreover, by integrating this attention mechanism, our models achieve a crucial comparison advantage, outperforming existing state-of-the-art techniques in terms of both visual quality and quantitative metrics. We propose adopting the Learned Per-ceptual Image Patch Similarity metric, which emphasizes perceptual similarity, to evaluate the quality of cloud-free images generated by the models. Our work not only contributes to advancing cloud removal techniques in remote sensing but also provides a comprehensive evaluation framework for assessing the fidelity of the generated images.

The common bills in life include VAT invoices, taxi invoices, train invoices, plane itineraries, machine-printed invoices, etc. Most of these common bills are presented in the form of fixed form templates, so template matching can be used. , for a certain fixed template bill, manually set the rules to determine the spatial position of the key area, extract the corresponding text information, or build a model with logical semantic relationship and spatial relative relationship between the bill texts of different attributes, from the global image of the image. Identify the required key text information in the text information. However, these methods are either limited by fixed ticket templates, or cannot guarantee considerable accuracy. The electronicization of paper invoices mainly needs to go through the steps of text detection, bill recognition and text recognition. Based on this, this paper adopts the DL method. Construct a financial bill recognition model and combine experiments to explore the effectiveness and superiority of the model. The results show that our model can achieve a recognition accuracy rate of up to 91\%, and also achieve a 26\% improvement in recognition speed.

Authors: Ragoub Lakhdar ,   Department, University of Prince Mugrin, P.O. Box 41040, 42241 Al Madinah, Saudia Arabia
Published: July 2024

Nanoparticles have potential applications in a wide range of fields, including electronics, medicine and material research, because of their remarkable and exceptional attributes. Carbon nanocones are planar carbon networks with mostly hexagonal faces and a few non-hexagonal faces (mostly pentagons) in the core. Two types of nanocone configurations are possible: symmetric and asymmetric, depending on where the pentagons are positioned within the structure. In addition to being a good substitute for carbon nanotubes, carbon nanocones have made an identity for themselves in a number of fields, including biosensing, electrochemical sensing, biofuel cells, supercapacitors, gas storage devices, and biomedical applications. Their astonishing chemical and physical attributes have made them well-known and widely accepted in the fields of condensed matter physics, chemistry, material science, and nanotechnology. Mathematical and chemical breakthroughs were made possible by the concept of modeling a chemical structure as a chemical graph and quantitatively analyzing the related graph using molecular descriptors. Molecular descriptors are useful in many areas of chemistry, biology, computer science, and other sciences because they allow for the analysis of chemical structures without the need for experiments. In this work, the quotient graph approach is used to establish the distance based descriptors of symmetrically configured two-pentagonal and three-pentagonal carbon nanocones.

Perspectivas sobre Um defeito de cor
Authors: Bispo Ella Ferreira
Published: July 2024

Considerando o romance Um defeito de cor, de Ana Maria Gonçalves (2009), como parte de um sistema simbólico, este estudo visa promover um debate em torno de possíveis acepções arroladas à expressão apresentada no título da obra, ou seja, defeito de cor, em sua articulação com a ideia de raça. Para tanto, recorre-se ao proposto por Achille Mbembe (2019), Grada Kilomba (2019), Édouard Glissant (2021), Conceição Evaristo (2008), Frantz Fanon (2008), Lourenço Cardoso (2010), entre outras(os). Como ponto de partida às análises empreendidas, considera-se a percepção de um contexto cultural no qual a pele clara, enquanto característica fenotípica relacionada aos seres humanos classificados como caucasianos, constitui-se como padrão normativo. Em outros termos, a discussão parte do princípio da branquitude como norma subjacente ao ideal [Ocidental] de ser humano. Na seção seguinte, aborda-se a disputa semântica configurada em torno do fenótipo pele negra. No bojo deste tópico, são abordados, outrossim, os significantes Negro e raça. Por fim, observa-se que se o título do romance de Ana Maria Gonçalves (2009) faz alusão ao discurso do poder hegemônico que objetiva naturalizar as hierarquias sociais constituídas com base na ideia de raça, a imagem que ilustra a sua capa nos convoca a refletir sobre como o corpo – malgrado as marcas da ferida colonial – não se resume aos discursos, nem aos conceitos e sentidos que lhe são atribuídos. A análise realizada, centrada no título do romace Um defeito de cor, é um indicativo do potencial epistêmico das literaturas amefricanas quanto ao engendramento de reflexões antirracistas e de[s]coloniais.
Experiência, narrativa e testemunho
Authors: Soster Vitor
Published: July 2024

Considerando Olualê Kossula: as palavras do último homem negro escravizado, de Zora N. Hurston (2018 [1931]), e Perder a mãe: uma jornada pela rota atlântica da escravidão, de Saidiya V. Hartman (2007), discuto a relação entre experiência, narrativa e testemunho – conceitos presentes não apenas nos estudos literários, mas também naqueles voltados para o saber histórico. Como hipótese, defendo que essas obras atestam impasses de dois momentos da virada testemunhal do saber histórico entre os séculos XX e XXI no contexto da problematização da distinção entre ficção e não-ficção e do questionamento da noção de “história universal”. Enquanto que, em Hurston, há um tensionamento entre a constituição de uma voz dissonante à tradição ocidental e a busca por inclusão nesta mesma tradição excludente, em Hartman, seu ponto de partida é o não-pertencimento e a crença em sua incapacidade de compreender o (seu) mundo. Como referenciais teóricos, destaco o trabalho de Seligmann-Silva sobre o testemunho (2005) e o conceito de história, segundo Benjamin (2020). Concluo enfatizando a perspectiva testemunhal feminina na constituição de um novo espaço de imagens que, por sua vez, solicita do leitor uma postura ativa tanto na prática de leitura quanto na agência política.

Carolina Maria de Jesus tornou-se conhecida na literatura brasileira com a publicação de seu diário, Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada, em 1960. A obra narra o cotidiano de Carolina, autora e narradora, na favela do Canindé em meados dos anos 1950. Em meio ao cotidiano da narradora, a fome ocupa um lugar de destaque, e com ela muitas outras mazelas que a pobreza causa. A loucura aparece nesse meio, e é possível analisar sua relação com a fome. Por meio de elementos que estruturam a narrativa, são estabelecidas relações entre as palavras, o que possibilita entender como a loucura se aproxima da fome no relato visceral de Carolina.
"A ponte nos unindo ao passado”
Authors: Batista Patrícia Giselia
Published: July 2024

Este artigo reflete sobre alguns aspectos da historiografia literária, histórica e canônica que emergem do estudo da obra memorialística Maria Clara (1978), da escritora norte-mineira Nazinha Coutinho. Em suas reminiscências, ela narra a trajetória da protagonista Clarinha, órfã de pai e mãe, criada pelos tios e pertencente a uma “família importante” de Montes Claros - MG, parte de uma elite rural que, aos poucos, substituía seus costumes pelos da elite industriária que começava a surgir na transição dos séculos XIX-XX. Este estudo possibilitou apreender os saberes de uma época, elaborados pela memória feminina, evidenciando sua potencialidade como objeto de reflexão. Aqui, destaca-se não apenas o processo da mulher como escritora, mas também um olhar histórico e regional sobre os empecilhos enfrentados por muitas mulheres do passado em busca de autonomia e autoafirmação.
Ponciá Vicêncio e Perro Viejo
Authors: Leão Selma De Carvalho , Ortega Raquel da Silva
Published: July 2024

Este artigo compõe uma pesquisa bibliográfica de cunho qualitativo e de caráter exploratório que propõe a realizar um estudo comparativo que tem como objetos os romances Perro Viejo da autora cubana Teresa Cárdenas (2006) e Ponciá Vicêncio da escritora brasileira Conceição Evaristo (2017). Esses textos literários têm como protagonistas personagens negros (um homem em Perro Viejo e uma mulher em Ponciá Vivêncio) que possibilitam aos leitores a discussão de questões sobre a escravização. A memória tem grande destaque, pois revive-se por meio dos protagonistas negros a escravização, ficando perceptíveis as marcas do racismo e do preconceito, e as situações de subalternidades que favoreceram a desumanização do negro. Desse modo, as análises realizadas demonstraram acontecimentos violentos cometidos com os escravizados e como foi doloroso esse período do colonialismo.

Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar a relação entre testemunho e trauma coletivo do racismo na novela A descoberta do frio (2011 [1979]), de Oswaldo de Camargo, buscando compreender em que medida a violência do empreendimento colonial europeu, marcado pela diáspora forçada, pela escravização em massa e pela invisibilização do Negro são representados como eventos-limite numa literatura em que emerge o Negro não como o outro, aquele de quem se fala, mas na posição de sujeito de sua própria história.  A partir de conceitos dos estudos pós-coloniais e de um entrelaçamento entre a noção de testemunho e de história a contrapelo, busco apresentar como a escrita Negra, da qual Oswaldo de Camargo é um dos autores mais influentes, opera um trabalho de escovar a própria literatura a contrapelo, contestando as verdades ditas oficiais propagadas pelos chamados vencedores e denunciando a lógica perversa e violenta da colonização. Pela via da rememoração desses eventos traumáticos, a escrita de Camargo coloca o dedo na ferida e se coloca como representativa da tarefa (re)construção da memória coletiva de Negras e Negros no Brasil, apontando, de maneira incisiva, a verdade incômoda do racismo.

The fifth generation (5G) mobile network is being created to keep up with the Internet of Things (IoT) and the rapid expansion of communication technologies, which generate large amounts of data. This mobile network provides expanded communication features for cellular phones. However, there are limitations to this strategy. Programming Characterized Organization (SDN) technology is being developed as a basic solution to the problem of dealing with many devices running multiple administrations. In 5G portable organizations, SDN architecture improves adaptation, versatility, cost-effectiveness, and energy efficiency. Many alternative designs are often utilized to build the SDN control plane. For 5G networks, we analyze several setups and recommend using the. Controller management architecture for Logically Centralized-Physically Distributed (LC-PD) systems. This solution outperforms traditional control plane systems, delivering superior throughput and reduced latency. This study demonstrates how the LC-PD control plane architecture improves internet services' QoS and communication efficiency in 5G mobile networks. We conduct simulation experiments utilizing the Mini net-WIFI emulator. Our simulations show that the LC-PD control plane architecture increases the quality of service (QoS) compared to other SDN implementations of Internet services in 5G networks.

Published: July 2024

This research explores the portrayal of social inequality and how social inequality influence the social interactions and dynamics within each social class as depicted in the novel in F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic novel, The Great Gatsby (1925). Drawing upon Goldmann’s genetic structuralism approach, the study delves into the socio-historical context of the novel to unravel the underlying structures governing characters' behaviors and narrative themes. The analysis identifies four key aspects of social inequality: 1) the American Dream, 2) economic inequality, 3) class distinction, and 4) gender inequality. Each aspect is shown to play a pivotal role in shaping the narrative and providing insights into the complexities of the social fabric of the time. Furthermore, the research examines how these aspects of social inequality influence social interactions and dynamics within each social class. It is revealed that social inequality not only dictates relationships and hierarchies but also perpetuates a cycle of aspiration, disillusionment, and moral decay. The characters' interactions are marked by a constant struggle for recognition, acceptance, and fulfillment within a system that values wealth and status above all else. Overall, this study is expected to offer a comprehensive analysis of social inequality in Fitzgerlad’s The Great Gatsby (1925), shedding light on its sociocultural significance and its enduring relevance in understanding societal dynamics.

The Influence of Religious Beliefs on Health Decision-Making: Perspectives from Diverse Faith Communities
Authors: Woolford Claire , Horner Matthew
Published: July 2024

This study aims to explore the influence of religious beliefs on health decision-making among diverse faith communities. The research seeks to understand how religious doctrines, practices, and community dynamics shape health behaviors, medical interventions, mental health approaches, and end-of-life decisions. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews to gather in-depth insights from participants. A purposive sample of 30 individuals representing various religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and other minor faiths, was selected. Interviews were conducted in person or via video calls, recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Data analysis was performed using NVivo software, following a thematic approach to identify and categorize key themes and subthemes. Theoretical saturation was achieved when no new information emerged from the interviews. The study identified several key themes: the influence of religious beliefs on health, the role of religious communities, and the interplay between religion and medicine. Participants reported that their religious beliefs significantly influenced dietary practices, medical interventions, mental health approaches, and end-of-life decisions. Religious communities provided crucial emotional and financial support, while religious leaders played a significant role in guiding health decisions. The compatibility and conflicts between religious beliefs and medical advice were evident, with participants employing various strategies to negotiate these differences within medical contexts. Religious beliefs profoundly shape health decision-making across diverse faith communities. Healthcare providers must recognize and respect these beliefs to provide culturally competent and holistic care. Training programs that enhance cultural and religious competence, collaborative approaches involving religious leaders, and institutional policies that accommodate religious practices can improve patient satisfaction and health outcomes. Future research should explore these dynamics with larger, more diverse samples and mixed-methods approaches.

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of children's neurodevelopmental psychological disorders with ideal therapy obscure. Aripiprazole is an antipsychotic medication with a unique mechanism of action that enhances dopamine activity in the prefrontal cortex in turn it might executive function in ADHD patients. This study aimed to clarify the impact of aripiprazole on ADHD using a socially isolated (SI) mice model. Methods: In the current study we used early-life SI mice as models for ADHD and tested three different doses of aripiprazole on attention set-shifting performance. The socially Isolated mice are known to have impairment in attentional set-shifting. Socially housed and isolated reared mice across different doses of aripiprazole for each stage were cross-matched for comparison. Results: Socially isolated mice showed selective great deficits in interdimen¬sional discriminations and extradimensional discriminations. Aripiprazole at 3 and 6mg/kg did greatly mitigate the cognition deficits in comparison with placebo and 1 mg/kg of aripiprazole. Conclusion: The current study results emphasise the positive effect of aripiprazole on cognition. Aripiprazole has the potential to be a treatment for ADHD with a psychostimulatory effect.
