Authors: Audu O , Ogiri OS , Igbabul S-A , Ijachi OO , Enokela PO , Anejo-Okopi J
Published: December 2020

Despite the scale up of quality-assured Tuberculosis diagnostic and treatment strategies over the years, case detection rate remains a serious challenge globally and particularly in Nigeria. Integrated service delivery is essential to addressing some of the challenges, but it's often neglected especially in low income settings. Recognizing these limitations, a 27-months retrospective review of all presumptive Pulmonary Tuberculosis cases sent to the directly observed short course treatment centre of Benue State University Teaching Hospital, a tertiary health institution in north central Nigeria was conducted to assess the source of referrals and diagnostic processes including outcome of the tests. Chi- square (χ2) test was used for test of association between the intra-facility linkages/referrals system and the tuberculosis case detection rate, with statistical significance set at p-value of ≤5%. There were 918 presumptive Tuberculosis cases with male to female ratio (M: F) of 1:1.3. The mean age of patients was 41.0.0 ±18.4 years. Majority (33.7%, n=) of the referrals were from general outpatient department of the hospital, followed by sexually transmitted infection clinic (26.0%) and Paediatrics department (1.6%, n=). The diagnostic positive rate was 145(15.8%). Overall, 295(32.2%) did not collect their results, of these 76(25.8%) were positive and 219(74.2%) were negative. The relationship between the missed cases and the weak intra-facility referral linkages was statistically significant (p=0.000). The hospital management should consider the engagement of all relevant health care providers on efficient two-way referral system towards ensuring adequate Tuberculosis case notification and prompt treatment.

Müzekki'n Nüfus'ta Fütüvvet
Authors: ÖZKAN Ahmet
Published: December 2020

Fütüvvet. İslam’ın ilk yıllarından itibaren Müslümanların gündeminde olmuş bir kavramdır. En geniş anlamıyla Hz. Peygamber’in güzel ahlakını yaşamayı ve yaşatmayı amaç edinir. Bu yönüyle zaman zaman tasavvuf ile eş anlamda kullanılmıştır. Bu konuya özel yazılmış fütüvvetnâmeler olduğu gibi diğer tasavvufî eserler içinde fütüvvete özel bölümler ayrılmıştır. Tasavvufi eserlerde izah edilen birçok husus adına fütüvvet denmese de fütüvvet ile aynı çizgidedir.

Eşrefoğlu Rûmî, XV. Yüzyılda yaşamış, kendi devrinde Türkçe yazmış olduğu eserleri ve söylediği şiirleri ile tasavvuf kültürünün halka benimsetilmesinde büyük gayretleri olmuş bir mutasavvıftır. Onun en çok bilinen eseri “Müzekki’n-Nüfûs” ise kendi devrinde olduğu kadar sonraki devirlerde de meşhur olmuş, Osmanlı Devleti’nde en çok okunan ilk beş kitap arasına girmiştir. Tasavvufi ahlak kitabı olarak nitelendirilen bu eser aynı zamanda fütüvvetnâmelerde fet’aların özellikleri olarak zikredilen ahlaki hususları içermektedir. Bu makalede, Eşrefoğlu’nun Müzekki’n-Nüfûs adlı eserinde yer alan fütüvvet unsurları incelenmiş, fütüvvetnâmeler ile mukayese edilerek söz konusu unsurlar tespit edilmiş ve değerlendirilmiştir.
Persuasion Capacity of Public Administration in Disasters
Authors: TOPRAK KARAMAN Zerrin
Published: December 2020

The increasing severity of meteorological disasters has made the concept of early-warning within risk governance important. Taking the current knowledge accumulation conditions into consideration, public administration has been focusing mostly on crisis administration when it comes to disasters of which the exact time of happening is unpredictable such as earthquakes. This process has mostly taken place in a "just order and they will do it" manner. Therefore, the literature on the persuasion skills of public administration in disasters is currently not abundant. The theme of the executive persuasion capacity in disasters has not been exclusively and extensively studied regarding the aspects of organizational structures within public administration and the human environment. In fact, administrative persuasion skills to be exercised on the community before disasters to prevent them from being harmed is a subject that needs serious consideration and work. In contrast, the subject of "persuasion" has been studied in depth within business-oriented works that aim to sell products to customers governed by the philosophy that could be depicted as "make them envious and they will buy it". In this article, a survey-based methodical study that utilizes public opinion polling system has been conducted on the persuasion ability of an administrative authority. And the popular methods of the business industry focusing on "how to convince a customer" have been employed. As a whole, this research article features a transdisciplinary study.
PRINCIPALES MOTIVACIONES DEL CONSUMIDOR DE ALIMENTOS ECOLÓGICOS EN ITALIA. EL CASO DEL ACEITE DE OLIVA
Authors: Vega-Zamora Manuela , Naspetti Simona , Zanoli Raffaele
Published: December 2020

A pesar del crecimiento generalizado de la agricultura ecológica en Europa, el comportamiento de los mercados de alimentos ecológicos es diferente entre países. Así, en algunos países como Italia hay un gran desequilibrio entre producción y consumo, y se provoca que parte de la producción se destine a mercados exteriores. Esta situación es evidente en el aceite de oliva, un producto emblemático en el sector agrícola italiano. En este contexto, el desarrollo de la demanda interna es una prioridad. Sin embargo, para diseñar estrategias de mercadotecnia efectivas que contribuyan a dicho desarrollo es necesario conocer el comportamiento del consumidor. Bajo la hipótesis de que el principal motivo de compra de los consumidores es de tipo altruista (relacionado con el medio ambiente, la ecología, el bienestar animal o el desarrollo rural y local), el objetivo de este estudio fue conocer las principales motivaciones del consumidor de aceite de oliva ecológico. La respuesta a este objetivo se basó en la Teoría Medios-Fin y para el análisis se utilizó la técnica de “hard laddering”, aplicada a una muestra de 25 sujetos. Los resultados mostraron que la salud es el fin último que motiva la compra del aceite de oliva ecológico, y que las motivaciones egoístas priman sobre las altruistas en la decisión de compra o consumo de este tipo de alimentos.

Published: December 2020

Plant tissue culture provides an alternative approach to improve the quality of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) cultivars. This study was undertaken to analyze the susceptibility of Mexican soybean for direct shoot regeneration and to determine the critical factors that affect in vitro performance. Our hypothesis was that Mexican soybean is suitable for in vitro regeneration using a cotyledonary node as explant. The effects of the seed disinfection procedure, soaking pretreatment before germination, soybean variety, as well as the culture medium composition of the shoot induction medium, were evaluated by two split-plot statistical designs. According to the statistical analysis, the seed disinfection procedure, the soaking pretreatment before germination, and the soybean genotype were the factors that brought about a significant effect (p£0.01), while the hormones composition of the shoot induction medium did not have a significant effect. The best response for multiple shoot formation was observed using a chlorine gas seed disinfection method, 3% hydrogen peroxide soaking pretreatment, and Huasteca-100, Nainari and Suaqui soybean genotypes. A robust protocol was developed, and under these selected conditions, it is possible to obtain more than 10 shoots per explant. Well-developed plantlets were obtained after 60 d of in vitro culture.

Authors: Moreno Rozo Laura Y. , Galvis Serrano Fabián
Published: December 2020

Las bacterias diazotróficas pueden estimular el crecimiento del cultivo del tomate (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) mediante la síntesis de hormonas, fijación de N y producción de sideróforos, u otros procesos. Las bacterias diazotróficas predominantes en los agroecosistemas pueden ser biofertilizantes potenciales. El objetivo del estudio fue cuantificar y caracterizar la población de bacterias diazotróficas rizosféricas en muestras de suelo rizosférico (SR) y bacterias diazotróficas endófitas en muestras de raíces (R) y material foliar (MF), mediante pruebas fenotípicas y moleculares. El estudio fue exploratorio y con un muestreo aleatorio, con 18 muestras SR, raíces (R) y MF de cultivos de tomate en seis fincas. Las diferencias en el número más probable (NMP) de bacterias diazotróficas no fueron significativas entre los sitios de las muestras de MF y R. La media de NFb mostró diferencias altamente significativas en Azotobacter sp. y Azospirillum sp. entre las muestras de SR, R y MF, con un NMP mayor y menor en SR y MF. Esto se relaciona con la caracterización fenotípica y bioquímica de SR donde se identificaron 14 aislados como Azotobacter sp. y siete como Azospirillum sp. Los géneros Burkholderia y Gluconacetobacter no mostraron diferencias significativas en el número de aislados entre muestras de SR y R, pero sí respecto a MF, con la población celular menor. Las diferencias entre las fincas no fueron significativas en las variables del suelo relacionadas con la disimilitud de NMP. La caracterización molecular permitió identificar A. chroococcum, A. nigricans, A. vinelandii, A. brasilense, B. glumae y G. azotocaptans/G. johannae en muestras de SR; B. glumae, G. azotocaptans/G. johannae en muestras de R y G. azotocaptans/G. johannae en muestras de MF.

Published: December 2020

A pesar de la importancia censal del ganado porcino criollo, Ecuador no tiene razas porcinas caracterizadas y reconocidas con carácter oficial. No se conocen las características morfológicas de las poblaciones criollas de la Zona de Planificación 5, tampoco si presentan diferencias con otras poblaciones americanas e ibéricas. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar un análisis biométrico en cerdos criollos ecuatorianos y relacionarlo con poblaciones Iberoamericanas. El estudio incluyó 338 hembras adultas elegidas al azar pertenecientes a cuatro poblaciones criollas ecuatorianas: Bolívar (75), Guayas (109), Los Ríos (95) y Santa Elena (59), además del Criollo cubano (50), Pelón mexicano (158), Entrepleado (149), Lampiño (77), Manchado de Jabugo (16), Portugués (20), Retinto (207) y Torbiscal (86). Con ocho variables zoométricas y cinco índices zoométricos (IZ) se realizó un estudio descriptivo, así como un análisis comparativo de los IZ con ANDEVA, con la población como factor de variación, además de un análisis discriminante canónico con las variables zoométricas. Las poblaciones ecuatorianas destacaron por su carácter braquicéfalo, índice pelviano mayor y línea dorsolumbar con inclinación caudal ascendente, y presentaron formato corporal menor respecto a las ibéricas y características similares al resto de las poblaciones evaluadas. Las diferencias estadísticas entre los IZ y las distancias de Mahalanobis y las euclidianas individuales permitieron sugerir un patrón zoométrico distinto para cada población. La formación de dos grandes grupos mostró un tipo americano que abarcó a las poblaciones ecuatorianas, y otro de tipo mediterráneo que englobó a las ibéricas. La proximidad mayor entre poblaciones ecuatorianas se encontró entre Bolívar y Santa Elena, le siguieron Guayas, y Los Ríos; Pelón mexicano y Criollo cubano ocuparon posiciones intermedias. Aunque hay relación histórica con el tronco ibérico, las poblaciones americanas se han diferenciado con el tiempo de acuerdo con la ubicación geográfica del ecosistema donde se desarrollan.
BIOFERTLIZACIÓN FOLIAR CON ALGAS MARINAS (Algae (L.)) A UN VIÑEDO Y SU RELACIÓN CON CONTENIDO DE HIERRO, FOTOSÍNTESIS Y RENDIMIENTO
Authors: Salmerón Bravo Saúl Alejandro , Zermeño González Alejandro , Méndez González Jorge , Ramírez Rodríguez Homero , Cadena Zapata Martín
Published: December 2020

Uno de los problemas que limitan el desarrollo de los viñedos es la clorosis de las plantas por la deficiencia de Fe, la cual es muy frecuente en los suelos calizos. La aplicación foliar de biofertilizantes con Fe puede incrementar el contenido de este elemento en las hojas de las plantas de vid (Vitis vinífera L.) y reducir la clorosis. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de un fertilizante foliar, orgánico, elaborado con extractos de algas marinas (Algae (L.)), adicionado con Fe (6%) y Mn (3%), en el contenido de Fe y clorofila de las hojas, tasa de fotosíntesis foliar y rendimiento de frutos de plantas de vid del cultivar (cv.) Sauvigon Blanc. El diseño experimental fue completamente al azar con cuatro tratamientos (sin aplicación del biofertilizante, con una, dos y tres aplicaciones) y cuatro repeticiones. Las aplicaciones foliares iniciaron al final de la etapa vegetativa en intervalos de 15 d. La comparación de medias de tratamientos se realizó con la prueba de Tukey (p≤0.05). Los resultados del estudio mostraron que cada aplicación del biofertilizante incrementó proporcionalmente el contenido de hierro de las hojas. Dos aplicaciones aumentaron el contenido relativo de clorofila y se necesitaron tres aplicaciones para incrementar la tasa de fotosíntesis foliar. El efecto de las aplicaciones del biofertilizante en el contenido de Fe, contenido relativo de clorofila y la tasa de fotosíntesis foliar incrementaron el rendimiento de fruto del cv. Sauvigon Blanc.
Redução vocálica:
Authors: Toledo Cecília Valle Souza , Alves da Silva Thaïs Cristófaro
Published: December 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo descrever o fenômeno de redução e apagamento da vogal alta posterior átona, em final de palavras, quando precedida de vogal alta anterior ou glide palatal, como, por exemplo, em tio [??i.?] ~ [??i?] e maio [?ma?? ?] ~ [?ma???]. Sugerimos que o que é tradicionalmente denominado cancelamento, perda ou apagamento vocálico, deve ser compreendido como o estágio final de reorganização segmental, em que um segmento inicialmente presente deixa de ocorrer. Sugerimos também que a reorganização segmental é gradiente e tem impacto na representação fonológica. A Teoria de Exemplares é o modelo teórico adotado neste trabalho. Argumentamos que embora a vogal alta posterior não seja audível em final de palavras, ela é caracterizada de maneira específica a partir do detalhe fonético decorrente da reorganização segmental. O detalhe fonético pode ser experimentalmente investigado e, neste artigo, a investigação foi realizada por análise acústica. Este artigo oferece evidências para a relevância de estudos experimentais em fonologia.
The Battle for Guatemala: Multilevel Governance and the Nation-state
Authors: Alvarez Gloriana Rodriguez
Published: December 2020

Although a brutal Civil War ended in 1996 and a democratisation process was initiated, Guatemalan statehood remains contested. Due to a historical process defined by elite capture and extreme repression, the State never fully consolidated. As a result, formal institutions tasked with political and economic governance are not as robust or effective as the informal institutions. There have been important developments. For instance, a myriad of social actors was able to carve out a space of public political and economic resistance which continues to this day. Notwithstanding these advances, Guatemala is now facing widespread insecurity as a result of the rise of transnational drug-trafficking, and the presence of gangs and cartels. The current crisis has worsened historic and structural injustices. In this regard, security governance is never an isolated issue. It is deeply interwoven with political and economic forms of governance. Due to the weak political governance, cartels and gangs can operate with near impunity. Then, because of weak economic governance, there are countless desperately poor youths willing to enter the drug trade.  To address these security issues, it is crucial to look at the institutional, political and social factors which have shaped the national context.

Published: December 2020

Se desarrolló un sistema de crecimiento y rendimiento maderable explícito, para la Cooperativa Integradora Forestal de Zacualpan, Veracruz, debido a que no contaban con estudios que permitieran predecir el crecimiento maderable para programar cosechas y evaluar financieramente las plantaciones. En su construcción se estableció una red de 50 sitios de remedición bajo un muestreo sistemático estratificado por edad para pino patula. El registro dasométrico se hizo en parcelas de forma rectangular, cubriendo una superficie de 400 m2, cada uno de los sitos conformados de tres a cinco parcelas por edad oscilando éstas, entre los 3 y 21 años. El sistema utiliza un ajuste simultáneo de los componentes vía regresión aparentemente no relacionada y dos modelos para la estimación de área basal por ha. El ajuste explícito sugiere que el turno técnico en volumen se alcanza a los 20 años en el sitio promedio. Comparando estos resultados con los obtenidos en rodales puros repoblados naturalmente de P. patula en Zacualtipán, Hidalgo donde el turno técnico se da también a los 20 años en el sitio promedio se tiene un rendimiento de 250m3/ha contra 420 m3/ha estimados en las plantaciones a la edad de 20 años.
Overinterpretation or appropriation?
Authors: Wolf Marina
Published: December 2020

The article discusses various approaches to interpretation, which understand it as a universal method of the humanities. Particular attention we paid to the interpretations in U. Eco and E. Batti, who, although do not agree with each other, however, are opposed both to the philosophic or analytic understanding of interpretation, which we call the appropriationist approach. The way of interpreting the past inherent in appropriationism often threatens with overinterpretation, for which it is criticized by adepts of contextualism. We analyze the interpretation through the prism of three skeptical arguments we offered, “conceptual relativism”, “Gorgians’ minds”, “the part and the whole”. Skeptical arguments are often used in philosophy as an additional filter for testing the consistency of the concepts, and it is clearly seen that the contextualist concept of interpretation does not pass this filter. The thesis that appropriation is indeed a overinterpretation can be accepted under reserve that for a strictly philosophical way of reasoning and from within appropriationism, another version of interpretation is inconsistent.

Transmitted as an appendix to the works of Sextus Empiricus, this collection of short treaties seeks to show the sophistic (Protagorean) way of argumentation. They address such opposite notions as bad and good, ugly and beautiful, unjust and just, and explore the possibilities of arguing pro and contra a given position.
Application of Weighted Particle Swarm Optimization in Association Rule Mining
Authors: Gupta Manisha
Published: December 2020

Determination of the threshold values of support and confidence, affect the quality of association rule mining up to a great extent. Focus of my study is to apply weighted PSO for evaluating threshold values for support and confidence. The particle swarm optimization algorithm first searches for the optimum fitness value of each particle and then finds corresponding support and confidence as minimal threshold values after the data are transformed into binary values. The proposed method is verified by applying the Food Mart 2000 database of Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I am expecting that the particle swarm optimization algorithm will suggest suitable threshold values and obtain quality rules as per the previous works [1].
Simulation and Analysis of Impact of Buffering of Voice Calls in Integrated Voice and Data Communication System
Authors: Chavan V M. , Kuber M M. , Mukhedkar R J.
Published: December 2020

Queuing theory and Markov chain analysis plays vital role in analyzing real-life problems. It is applied to wired network, wireless network and mobile communication to analyze the packet traffic in packet switched network. In this simulation and analysis, integrated communication system such as voice and data is simulated with different queue size for voice calls with different arrival and service rate and its results are analyzed to study the impact of buffering of voice and data calls for the proposed integrated wired network using Queuing theory and Markov chain analysis. We also propose to optimize the system characteristics in an attempt to provide better Quality of Service (QoS) for systems with integrated voice and data calls. The proposed models have two traffic flow namely voice calls (real-time traffic like audio) and data calls (data traffic like FTP). A single channel is assigned for voice and data calls. The incoming voice and data calls are queued when the channel is busy. Voice calls are delay-sensitive
therefore priority is assigned to Constant Bit Rate (CBR) traffic voice request. For such systems, it is important to analyze the impact of buffering the voice calls as well as data calls for various mean arrival rates and mean service times for voice and data call
requests. The impact of buffering the voice calls with different queue size, mean arrival rates and service rate are analyzed. These results of dedicated integrated voice and data communication system can be used for simulating any type of wired network. The
minimum buffer or jitter required for both the traffic is calculated using Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF).

Not every child born in this world always experiences normal development. Many of them experience obstacles, disturbances, delays, or have risk factors so that to achieve optimal development, special treatment or intervention is required. This group became known as children with special needs or extraordinary children. In understanding children with special needs or outside children, it is necessary to have an understanding of the types of disabilities (children with special needs) and the consequences that occur to sufferers. Children with special needs are referred to as children with disabilities because they include children whose growth and development experience deviations or abnormalities, both physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially when compared to normal children.

Background and objectives: Radiation accidents can cause numerous challenges to hospitals, the appropriate medical responses to which may save the lives of countless people. The present study aimed at the design and validation of an Emergency Department preparedness questionnaire for hospital emergency departments (EDs) in the case of radiation accidents, nuclear accidents, and nuclear terrorism in Iran.Materials and methods: This multistage cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019. The questionnaire items were created with the reference to article reviews and expert judgement. The validity of the questionnaire was assessed through face, content, and construct validities. Additionally, its reliability was estimated using measures of internal consistency and stability, namely Cronbach’s alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). To this end, the questionnaire was completed by the ED staff in the hospitals of Iran.Results: The proposed 48-item questionnaire consisted of three themes: staff preparedness, stuff preparedness, and structure preparedness. The face and content validities were confirmed by expert judgement. All items remained with content validity ratio (CVR) 0.7 and the mean content validity index (CVI) = 0.891. The overall Cronbach’s alpha and ICC were 0.781 and 0.709, respectively for the whole questionnaire.Conclusion: Hospital ED preparedness in radiation and nuclear accidents requires readiness of staff, stuff, and structure of the ED, the consideration of which will properly respond to radiation and nuclear accidents. Thus, upstream organizations like the Ministry of Health and the Emergency Organization should oblige hospital EDs to make themselves be more prepared by codifying certain imperative laws and policies.

Deep Learning has established itself to be a common occurrence in the business lexicon. The unprecedented success of deep learning in recent years can be attributed to: an abundance of data, availability of gargantuan compute capabilities offered by GPUs, and adoption of open-source philosophy by the researchers and industry. Deep neural networks can be decomposed into a series of different operators. MIOpen, AMD's open-source deep learning primitives library for GPUs, provides highly optimized implementations of such operators, shielding researchers from internal implementation details and hence, accelerating the time to discovery. This paper introduces MIOpen and provides details about the internal workings of the library and supported features. MIOpen innovates on several fronts, such as implementing fusion to optimize for memory bandwidth and GPU launch overheads, providing an auto-tuning infrastructure to overcome the large design space of problem configurations, and implementing different algorithms to optimize convolutions for different filter and input sizes. MIOpen is one of the first libraries to publicly support the bfloat16 data-type for convolutions, allowing efficient training at lower precision without the loss of accuracy.

Authors: Timokhin Petr , Mikhaylyuk Mikhail , Panteley Klim
Published: December 2020

The paper proposes a new technology of creating panoramic video with a 360-degree view based on virtual environment projection on regular dodecahedron. The key idea consists in constructing of inner dodecahedron surface (observed by the viewer) composed of virtual environment snapshots obtained by twelve identical virtual cameras. A method to calculate such cam-eras’ projection and orientation parameters based on “golden rectangles” geometry as well as a method to calculate snapshots position around the ob-server ensuring synthesis of continuous 360-panorama are developed. The technology and the methods were implemented in software complex and tested on the task of virtual observing the Earth from space. The research findings can be applied in virtual environment systems, video simulators, scientific visualization, virtual laboratories, etc.
Depth-Aware Arbitrary Style Transfer Using Instance Normalization
Authors: Kitov Victor , Kozlovtsev Konstantin , Mishustina Margarita
Published: December 2020

Style transfer is the process of rendering one image with some content in the style of another image, representing the style. Recent studies of Liu et al. (2017) show that traditional style transfer methods of Gatys et al. (2016) and Johnson et al.(2016) fail to reproduce the depth of the content image, which is critical for human perception. They suggest to preserve the depth map by additional regularizer in the optimized loss function, forcing preservation of the depth map. However these traditional methods are either computationally inefficient or require training a separate neural network for each style. AdaIN method of Huang et al. (2017) allows efficient transferring of arbitrary style without training a separate model but is not able to reproduce the depth map of the content image. We propose an extension to this method, allowing depth map preservation by applying variable stylization strength. Qualitative analysis and results of user evaluation study indicate that the proposed method provides better stylizations, compared to the original AdaIN style transfer method.
Optimization of Procedurally Generated Landscapes
Authors: Mezhenin Aleksandr , Shevchenko Anastasia
Published: December 2020

This paper discusses the optimization of procedurally generated polygonal landscapes. The Level of Detail method is considered and its shortcomings are listed. The proposed approach to solving the optimization problem based on the Ramer-Douglas-Pecker algorithms for the three-dimensional case, De-launay triangulation, and the Hausdorff metric is presented. To achieve bet-ter results in number of triangles of the optimized mesh and maintaining landscape detail than some LOD implementations the follows is proposed: from a height map, in a certain way, points are selected that most accurately convey the curvature and terrain features. Other points are deleted. The basis of the obtained points, an irregular triangulated grid is constructed. The pro-posed method for analyzing the similarity of polygonal models of an arbi-trary topological type can serve as a basis for the implementation of the cor-responding algorithms. The use of the weighted average when calculating the normal vectors, according to the authors, increases the accuracy of the sub-sequent calculation of the Hausdoff metric. Issues of assessing the quality of optimization are considered. A mathematical model is proposed. A proto-type of the optimizer for the polygonal mesh was developed and tested.
The Two-Level Semi-Synchronous Parallelization Method for the Caustic and Indirect Luminance Calculation in Realistic Rendering
Authors: Zhdanov Andrey , Zhdanov Dmitry
Published: December 2020

The paper considers an original approach to the semi-synchronous calculation of the luminance of caustic and indirect illumination for the group of methods based on the bidirectional stochastic ray tracing with backward pho-ton maps. The designed parallelization method uses the two-level threads hierarchy. The low level of this thread hierarchy is synchronous calculations of the part of the whole image defined by a randomly generated pixel mask which is applied to the whole image. The top level is semi-synchronous parallelization level that consists groups of the low level threads which of them calculate own part of the whole image in a way similar to asynchronous calculations. As the top level is semi-synchronous it means that when calculating the luminance of the caustic and indirect illumination, the threads of the low level have access to the data accumulated in the backward photon maps of the other parallel threads of the semi-synchronous level. A special algorithm for organizing an access to data of the upper-level threads avoids de-lays associated with data synchronization. The comparison of the developed solution with purely synchronous and asynchronous parallelization methods is presented.
