Authors: Rezapur-Shahkolai F , Salimi N , Ezzati Rastgar Kh , Gheysvandi E , Parsa P , Dogonchi M
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Proper counseling are very important to improve the quality of life and progress in society, especially in educational centers. The present qualitative study was designed and implemented according to the importance of deep students' opinions to improve the counseling process.
Methods: This present study was a qualitative study which was conducted using Content analysis. Participants in this study were 30 students who were selected through purposive sampling, with maximum diversity. In this study, data were obtained using semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using Conventional content analysis.
Result: From the students' point of view, the challenges facing academic counseling included two main themes, four main categories and seven sub-categories. Main themes included “need to improve the organizational factors related to consulling process” and “need to improve the individual factorsamong faculty members and student” and the main categories included lack of proper information to the student, unavailability of consultant faculty members, to select consultant faculty members without considering a student opinion and to be improper the communication between consultant faculty members  and student. Regarding the facilitators of the counseling process, one main theme (strengthening the organizational factors related to consulling process), three main categories and four sub-categories were obtained. The main categories included the separation of the counselor from the faculty members, empowerment of the counselors and student’s freedom to choose a counselor.
Conclusion: The results of the present study show that the process of academic counseling in the university faces organizational and individual challenges such as lack of proper information to the student, unavailability of consultant faculty members, to select consultant faculty members without considering the students opinion, and to be improper the communication between consultant faculty members  and students. Based on the students' views, it seems that by separation of the counselor from the faculty members, empowerment of the counselors and student’s freedom to choose a counselor, the academic counseling process in the university can be improved.

Authors: Fattahi-Bafghi A , Barkhordari-Sharifabad M
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Professional belongingness is one of the most important aspects of students' clinical work experience. An understanding of the relation between students’ belongingness on clinical setting and their professional behavior can significantly aid in promoting their professional behavior. This study determined the correlation between nursing students’ dependence on the clinical setting and their professional behavior.
Methods: This research is a descriptive analytical study in which 110 third and fourth year nursing students ‌ at Islamic Azad University, Yazd Branch, were included in the study as a sample. Sampling was done by census method. Data were collected using questionnaires of demographic with 9 items, Levett-Jones clinical belongingness with 34 items and Goze professional behavior with 27 items. These questionnaires have been used in several studies and their validity has been assessed using content validity and reliability using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. After completion, the data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics (Pearson, t-test) by SPSS software version 16.
Result: The total score of professional behavior and clinical belongingness on clinical setting were 111.06 ± 16.38 and 118.69 ± 16.38, respectively. The subscales of efficiency (71.98 ±13.19), self-esteem (61/99 ± 11.56), and connectivity (42.62 ± 17.00) had the highest weight in the scores of clinical belongingness, respectively. Besides, there was a direct significant correlation between “belongingness on clinical setting and its dimensions” and “professional behavior”, based on Pearson correlation test (r = 548 and P = 0.000).
Conclusion: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between belonging and professional behavior. This means that with increasing belonging, professional behavior improves. Thus, educational decision-makers and instructors/educators can enhance nursing students’ professional behavior through using appropriate educational strategies and creating a supportive environment to increase feelings of belongingness clinical setting.

Centralised Supports for Writing in Higher Education and Their Applicability to Research, Teaching and Learning Contexts
Authors: Fogarty Matthew
Published: December 2020

In 2018, as part of an EU COST Action (COST Action 15221 – www.werelate.eu), 43 academics, based at various higher education institutions in Europe, were asked about existing and desirable centralised support for writing, research, teaching and learning. This article draws on the academics’ responses. It uses that data to demonstrate the ways in which the learner-centred approach, typically adopted by writing centres, might function as a blueprint for a blended centralised support model for these four strands of higher education. In order to explore this idea, the article examines the reported support for research, as the data suggest that the majority of the centralised supports that currently exist at these institutions are designed primarily to support research. The study unpicks the mechanisms and approaches that are designed to ensure that research can be supported; it identifies what is effective in terms of supporting staff as researchers. From there, turning to the existing and desirable supports for writing, teaching and learning, I argue that, using a learner-centred writing centre model as inspiration, the structures which are currently in place to effectively support research can be modified and repurposed to more effectively support writing, teaching, and learning in higher education.
Digitalization and the Writing Classroom: A Reflection on Clasroom Practices
Authors: Bickford Crystal
Published: December 2020

This paper outlines the educational benefits of creating digital stories for a variety of academic purposes as well as the professional need for students to develop and showcase digital proficiency. Digital stories fall under the category of multimodal composition and new media studies, and they encourage students to expand their digital literacy skills while reconceptualizing ways in which traditional writing projects can appeal to a broader audience. The article also addresses some of the classroom challenges teachers may face when trying to implement the practice and some practical resources that might assist teachers to integrate digital stories into their classrooms.
Towards Nuanced Understandings of the Identities of EAL Doctoral Student Writers
Authors: Schneider Britta , Macdonald Shem
Published: December 2020

The construct of identity in the space of English as an Additional Language (EAL) Higher Degree by Research (HDR) writing has been widely researched with studies exploring students’ identities as constructed through and in the process of writing. However, these studies are often presented in ways that focus on the challenges the writers face citing language barriers and cultural differences and ascribing these students “closed subject positions” with “limited ways of talking about themselves” (Koehne, 2005, p. 118). In response to such deficit views, various studies have explored the multiple and varied identities of HDR EAL as evident in their written reflections and other work, offering a wider range of views. We argue that there is a need for additional nuanced views of these student identities and how they are formed. In this paper we demonstrate how these can be gained by examining student identities as they emerge through spoken interaction. Applying a sociocultural linguistic framework that understands identities as emerging, situationally and relationally dependent (Bucholtz & Hall, 2005), we report how two students formed identities for themselves by talking to us about their experiences of writing using EAL. Our analysis provides nuanced understandings of the multiple identities of EAL HDR students that move beyond the deficit ones we were, and still are, frequently hearing in institutional discourses and demonstrates how the application of this framework can help articulate richness, variety and resourcefulness and challenge essentialised identities of EAL doctoral student writers.
Adapting to a Disciplinary Discourse: A Redesigned Course for MA History Students
Authors: But Iuliia Evgenievna
Published: December 2020

For most MA programs, it is common to enroll students with different BA degrees. The MA students who have changed their discipline are required to adopt a new disciplinary discourse and learn to write academic texts in line with appropriate genres and conventions. This study exemplifies an attempt to redesign the academic writing course for MA History programs at the Ural Federal University in order to ease the difficulties faced by students with non-history backgrounds. The essence of the redesign was to enhance the traditional teaching by demonstrating fundamental dissimilarities between history and other disciplines in terms of writing conventions. Teaching academic writing in that manner was supposed to facilitate students with both a history and non-history backgrounds to master the effective conventional writing of history texts. The efficiency of the redesigned course was estimated on the basis of students’ performance and feedback. This teaching practice can be of use for academic writing instructors who seek to help students from different backgrounds develop skills and competences that are necessary for a specific professional community.
Disciplinary Writing Tutors at Work: A study of the Character of the Feedback Provided on Academic Writing at the BA Programmes at the Humanities Department
Authors: Christensen Vibeke , Hobel Peter
Published: December 2020

New students struggle to develop academic writing skills during transition to university. To meet this challenge, the Humanities department at the University of Southern Denmark implemented a research and development project to increase feedback to student writers. In the project, graduate students were trained as disciplinary writing tutors, and subsequently provided feedback on undergraduates’ assignments. The study presented in this article examines the feedback offered by the disciplinary writing tutors. As researchers, we ask, “What characterises the feedback offered by the disciplinary writing tutors?” The study is positioned in a sociocultural framework that draws on theories of disciplinary and academic literacy. Data was collected in four bachelor’s degree programmes and consists of the feedback given by the tutors and interviews with the tutors conducted at the end of the tutoring. Principal results indicate that the feedback on the students’ texts is distributed at the text layer of content and structure and the text layer of formalities. Feedback at the text layer of sentences is almost absent. Feedback on the writing and learning processes is limited. The discipline-specific feedback occurs as indications in the feedback to the BA students and is made clearer when comparing feedback in different programmes. The feedback the writing tutors provide demonstrates an understanding of academic writing as academic socialisation.
Building Bridges: The Effective Learning Adviser as Trans-cultural and Cross-Disciplinary Communicator
Authors: Bohlmann Julia
Published: December 2020

Out of 31,060 students currently enrolled at the University of Glasgow, about 25% are classed as international, reflecting a nationwide trend. In response to this situation, researchers and practitioners have stressed the need to improve the way universities accommodate multicultural student bodies. At the University of Glasgow, such efforts manifest in an expansion and diversification of the department facilitating student learning development: The Learning Enhancement and Academic Development Service (LEADS). LEADS is home to two Effective Learning Advisers (ELAs) who work with international students from all subject disciplines. Their work entails the creation and delivery of academic writing classes, the development of electronic resources and one-to-one tutorials. Due to the diversity of the international student cohort in terms of educational, cultural and subject backgrounds, a significant proportion of the international ELAs’ day-to-day job is to explain generic academic writing conventions pertinent to the UK Higher Education context to those coming from other educational cultures. Their role then is that of multicultural and cross-disciplinary communicators. This article outlines and reflects on the professional practice of the international ELAs and seeks to stimulate discussion around appropriate and effective practices of teaching academic writing to students from a multiplicity of backgrounds and disciplines.
Embedding Academic Literacies through Growing Student and Staff Communities
Authors: Malone Cathy , Coleman Charlotte , Freeman Elizabeth , Jamison-Powell Sue
Published: December 2020

In the UK, HE practical writing support has not kept pace with advances in our understanding of how students learn to write in their disciplines or greater comprehension of the nature of these discourses they are acquiring. Current institutional provision can be still be characterized as fragmented offering generic, deficit focused, skills-based instruction, despite such approaches being theoretically discredited. One alternative means to develop academic literacies in more inclusive and nuanced ways is to embed this work at a disciplinary level; while long recommended this model is unusual in the UK. This paper reviews approaches to embedding academic literacies work and reports on our attempts to embed writing development work within a social science department through an extended action research project which aimed to increase student mastery of academic literacies within one department. We focused on building opportunities for engagement using Writing Exemplars, Retreats and Writing Circles. Key features of our work are identified that appear transferable and may further facilitate successful interdisciplinary collaborations.

Published: December 2020

Background: An adaptive meat and egg type indigenous chicken is crucial for countries those depends on rural poultry production for meeting the protein requirements of the peoples. Genetic characterizations of native chickens have been documented, however, no study has observed the plumage colouration and its potential role in production traits. Thus, the aim of the current study was to know the effect of PME17, plumage colour gene diversity on production performance of indigenous chicken varieties. Methods: The plumage colours, comb and body shape of chickens corresponds with the live weight and egg production (clutch size) and the egg characteristics were recorded. Gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) were performed from blood cell DNA following standard protocols. The PCR products were sequenced using Sanger sequencing and for molecular analysis MEGA6 software were used. Result: Highest live weight (1400±25.4 g) and egg production (15.3±0.9 /number /clutch) was obtained in spotted-single-round chicken than other varieties. Both external and internal egg characteristics differed between varieties and spotted- single-round variety found to be best than other varieties. The sequence of PMEL17 gene was 99% homology with the sequence of Gallus gallus and Gallus gallus domesticus. A mutation was observed at 91bp nucleotide in brownish and at 64bp positional nucleotide and in black-white chicken variety.

Authors: Narasimhaiah N. , Rajashekar K.P. , Shivaprakash S.M. , Tenjing S. Yambem
Published: December 2020

Background: Gerrids under family Gerridae are important in contributing rich source of protein. Gerres species are economically important food in India. They take a good role in development and economic of Indian estuaries. In fish biology, knowledge of the length-weight data and condition factor (Kn) is an important tool. Gerres filamentosus is one of the economically important groups of fishes inhabiting Karnataka coast. It was selected as a candidate for the present study since the knowledge on length-weight data and condition factor will be helpful in mass culture and production of this species in Karnataka. Methods: The length-weight relationships and condition factor of 2020 specimens of fish, G. filamentosus from Mangalore, Karnataka, south west coast of India, were studied from July 2009 to June 2011. The length-weight relationship was found using parabolic equation. Analysis of co-variance was used to test the significant difference in estimates of “b” between sexes. The condition factor for individual fish was calculated using the formula Kn = Wo/Wc. Result: The relation between the total length (L) and total weight (TW) was described as LogTW = -1.7716 + 2.9511 Log L for females, Log TW = -1.7526 + 2.9364 LogL for males and LogTW = -1.8343 + 2.9720 LogL for indeterminate fishes. The highest and lowest condition factor (Kn) values in females was in December 2010 (1.1186) and September 2010 (0.8871), respectively. Similarly, the highest and lowest Kn values in male was in March 2011 (1.0630) and September 2010 (0.6977), respectively. The result of length-weight relationships could be used for fishery to approve appropriate regulations for sustainable fishery management. The present findings could also be useful for ecosystem modeling. In the present study, changes in Kn value may be in relation to some other reasons than reproductive cycle and feeding intensity.

Published: December 2020

Background: The measure of energy flow in crop production system provides a good indicator of the production of technological aspects of crop production systems in agriculture. Sustainable agricultural management technologies should be studied in terms of increased productivity, profitability, energy saving and efficiency of agricultural inputs usage by using efficiency indices and sustainable indicators. Methods: A field experiment was conducted at Agriculture Research Station, Janawada, Bidar during kharif and rabi seasons for two consecutive years (2014-15 and 2015-16) to know the energy use for achieving target yield. The experiement was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments viz., The two genotypes of soybean (JS335 and DSB 21) and chickpea (JG 11 and GBM 2) were tested for target yield of 2.0 t ha-1, 2.5 t ha-1, 3.0 t ha-1, 3.5 t ha-1, farmers practice and RDF were tested in medium black soils in randomized block design with three replications. The soil testing was carried out to determine the quantity of major nutrient for different target yields. Result: The experimental results revealed that the significantly higher energy efficiency (5.28 MJ ha-1), net energy (1,71,039.00 MJ ha-1), energy productivity (0.40 kg MJ-1), energy intensity (1,71,039.00 MJ ha-1) in physical terms (13.29 MJ kg-1) and economic terms (3.68 MJ Rs.-1), crop profitability (723.53 Rs.ha-1 day-1), system profitability (417.05 Rs.ha-1day-1) and relative economic efficiency (2.75) and soybean equivalent yield (5683 kg ha-1) were noticed in JS 335/JG 11 + target yield 3.0 t ha-1 compared to rest of the treatments. Thus, it could be concluded that various efficiency indices also used as alternative indices for achieving target yield in cropping system.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Intra-abdominal sepsis is one of the most difficult situations in surgery and usually presents as a peritonitis. It is a systemic inflammatory response to infection that is often associated with hypoperfusion followed by tissue injury and organ failure. Given that its the sequelae reflect the increasing severity of the systemic response to infection, a correct and early treatment needs to be established. In this sense, the study analyzes the effect of peritoneal lavage and the use of the isomers immunomodulator in the treatment of abdominal sepsis in rats. Methods: The animals were randomly assigned to three groups A (control), B (peritoneal lavage), C (levamisole). All groups underwent laparotomy, anesthesia and cecal ligation/puncture. A ten-parameter clinical score was analyzed, which allowed the classification of sepsis degree, peritoneal fluid cultures, and cytokine dosage. Results: Group C had better scores on the clinical score and also lower growth of bacterial colonies in cultures. A lower dosage of TNF-alpha, IL-Ib, IL-6 and PCR in group C was observed, compared to groups A and B. Conclusion: Levamisole positively influenced the treatment in the parameters analyzed compared to the peritoneal lavage group and the control group.

Published: December 2020

Objective: This study aimed at examining whether topical treatment of colon anastomosis with hyaluronic acid can influence the healing of colonic anastomosis in rats treated with systemic corticosteroid. Methods: Three groups of Wistar rats weighing 252 ± 7g were used, with six rats each, all submitted to anastomosis of the proximal colon: Group 1 - control rats, without treatment. Group 2 - rats treated with subcutaneous (s.c) corticosteroid, and topical application of 0.9% saline solution over the anastomosis. Group 3 - rats treated with corticosteroid s.c. and topical application of 0.4% hyaluronic acid (10 mg/ml) on colonic anastomosis. On the 7th postoperative day, under anesthesia and laparotomy, the anastomosis site was subjected to the determination of rupture pressure. Then, samples containing the anastomosis site were resected and fixed in 10% buffered formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Masson H-E and trichrome staining. Histometry evaluated the infiltration of inflammatory cells at the anastomosis site, using a numerical scale from 0 to 4. Continuous variables were assessed using the Tukey test. Differences considered significant with p<0.05. Results: All animals survived the experiments. There were no abscesses, fistulas and macroscopically detectable dehiscences in the anastomosis site. The weight of the animals on the 7th postoperative day showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) between the control (253.6±6.3g) and corticoid (221.6±15.4g) groups, as well as between the corticoid +. hyaluronic acid group (257.8±9.7g) and corticosteroids (221.6±15.4). There was no significant difference in the comparison between the control and corticoid + hyaluronic acid groups (p>0.05). In the analysis of intraluminal pressure of colonic anastomosis, there was a statistically significant difference when comparing groups 1 (286.8±9.9 mmHg) and 2 (155±6.0 mmHg), 1 (286.8±9,9 mmHg) and 3 (199.1±7.7) and 2 (155±6.0 mmHg) and 3 (199.1±7.7), with p<0.001 for all comparisons. Histopathological classification by the numerical scale: Group 1 - inflammatory response (H-E) grade 3 and collagen deposition by Masson Trichomic grade 1; Group 2 - inflammatory response (H-E) grade 4 and deposition of collagen and fibroblasts by Masson's Trichrome grade1\2; Group 3 - inflammatory response (H-E) grade 3 and deposition of collagen and fibroblasts by Masson's Trichrome grade 1\2. There was no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: The topical use of hyaluronic acid has a positive influence on the initial healing phase of colonic anastomosis in rats treated with systemic corticosteroid.

Câmi merkezli bir medeniyet inşa eden İslâm, insanın yeryüzü serüveni ve hayatla ilişkisinde mescidi en önemli mekânlardan biri yapmıştır. İslâm’ın ilk döneminden itibaren İslâm kültür merkezleri olarak kabul edilen câmiler, aynı zamanda İslâmî her tür faaliyetin de merkezi konumundaydı. İslâm düşünce geleneğinde yalnızca tuğla ve kireçten müteşekkil yapılar olarak görülmeyen câmiler, ibâdet mekânı olmanın çok ötesinde işlevler îfâ etmiştir. Nitekim câmi ve mescitler ibâdet yerleri olmanın yanısıra ilim müesseseleri, mahkemeler, adliye sarayları, ordu karargâhları, yabancı elçilerin kabul merkezleri, istişare meclisleri, bölge ve mahallenin durumunun müzakere edildiği mekânlar ve hatta ceza infaz kurumları ile tutuk evleri olarak İslâm müesseseleri arasında önemli bir yer işgal etmiştir. Bütün bu fonksiyonlarının yanı sıra câmi ve mescitler, İslâm’ın çok önem ve öncelik verdiği ümmetin birlik ve beraberliğinin muhafazasına yönelik bir fonksiyon da icra etmişlerdir. Bu makalede önce İslâm’ın ilk döneminden günümüze kadar geçen tarihsel süreçte en genel anlamda câmi ve mescitlerin üstlendiği birbirinden önemli fonksiyonlar aktarılacak, daha sonra da çalışmamızın ana mihverini oluşturan câmi ve mescitlerin birlik ve beraberliği sağlamadaki rolleri aktarılmaya çalışılacaktır.
BAĞIMSIZ AFGANİSTAN’IN MODERNLEŞMESİ HUSUSUNDA TÜRKİYE’DEN AFGANİSTAN’A GÖNDERİLEN UZMANLAR

Tarihi ve kültürel değerler noktasında ortak bağlara sahip olan Türkiye ve Afganistan arasındaki yakın ilişki, aradan geçen uzun yıllara rağmen zayıflamak yerine her zaman güçlenmiştir. Rusya’nın sıcak denizlere inme, İngiltere’nin ise sömürgelerine açılan yolu koruma maksatlı gerçekleştirdiği stratejiler, Afganistan topraklarını nüfuz mücadelesinin eksik olmadığı bir saha hâline getirmişti. Afganistan, XIX. yüzyılın başlarından itibaren sürdürülen “büyük oyuna” karşı bağımsızlık mücadelesi verirken, Mustafa Kemal Paşa da aynı emperyalist güçlere karşı halkıyla beraber İstiklâl harbini gerçekleştirmekteydi. Buna benzer gelişmeler Mustafa Kemal Paşa ve Amanullah Han’ın yollarını kesiştirdiği gibi dostluklarını da pekiştirdi. Amanullah Han, devletini modernleştirmek ve bu sayede çağdaş ülkeler arasında edineceği yeri sağlamlaştırmak için bir dizi ıslahat yapmak fikriyle Türkiye’den nitelikli uzman talebinde bulunmuştur. Cemal Paşa’nın “Türkiye’nin savunması Afganistan’dan başlar” fikrinden hareketle, Afgan ordusunu düzenleyerek İngiltere’yi Hindistan’da meşgul edip İstiklâl Harbi’ne destek olma gayesi, Mustafa Kemal Paşa tarafından takdir edilmiştir. Bu nedenledir ki vatan işgal altındayken bile büyük fedekarlıklarla Afganistan’a her türlü yardım yapılmıştır. Amanullah Han (1919-1929) zamanında Afganistan’a yapılan askerî, eğitim ve sağlık alanındaki yardımlar, Nadir Şah (1929-1933) döneminde durağan bir hâl alırken, Zahir Şah’la (1933-1973) beraber ise zirveye ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışmamız, Afganistan’ın Sovyet Rusya ile yakınlaştığı 1955 yılına kadar Türkiye Cumhuriyeti tarafından Afganistan’a askerî, eğitim ve sağlık alanlarında gönderilen uzmanları ve yapılan yardımları konu edinmektedir.

Increasing land productivity, especially in the agricultural sector, are absolutely necessary at this time. One effort that can be done is by evaluating the characteristics of the land in order to obtain suitable information for the development of agricultural commodities in an area. The purpose of this study was to provide information on land characteristics and to analyze the level of land suitability for the development of food crop commodities (rice, corn, soybeans and cassava). The land characteristic parameters observed included climate, land morphology, soil physical and chemical properties. The results show that it is possible to develop food crops in Tanete Riaja District, even though only in the S2 and S3 categories. The slope factor is the main obstacle in the development of this commodity, so that crop management such as terracing and intercropping systems is an alternative cropping model that can be implemented. Low soil fertility and acidic soil pH are manageable factors that can be improved to increase soil quality.

In this paper, Spinning Detail Perceptual Generative Adversarial Networks (SDP-GAN) is proposed for single image de-raining. The proposed method adopts the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework and consists of two following networks: the rain streaks generative network G and the discriminative network D. To reduce the background interference, we propose a rain streaks generative network which not only focuses on the high frequency detail map of rainy image, but also directly reduces the mapping range from input to output. To further improve the perceptual quality of generated images, we modify the perceptual loss by extracting high-level features from discriminative network D, rather than pre-trained networks. Furthermore, we introduce a new training procedure based on the notion of self spinning to improve the final de-raining performance. Extensive experiments on the synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant improvements over the recent state-of-the-art methods.

Traffic flow prediction is one of the fundamental components in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Many traffic flow prediction models have been developed, but with limitation of noise sensitivity, which will result in poor generalization. Fused Lasso, also known as total variation denoising, penalizes L1-norm on the model coefficients and pairwise differences between neighboring coefficients, has been widely used to analyze highly correlated features with a natural order, as is the case with traffic flow. It denoises data by encouraging both sparsity of coefficients and their differences, and estimates the coefficients of highly correlated variables to be equal to each other. However, for traffic data, the same coefficients will lead to overexpression of features, and losing the trend of time series of traffic flow. In this work, we propose a Fused Ridge multi-task learning (FR-MTL) model for multi-road traffic flow prediction. It introduces Fused Ridge for traffic data denoising, imposes penalty on L2-norm of the coefficients and their differences. The penalty of L2-norm proportionally shrinks coefficients, and generates smooth coefficient vectors with non-sparsity. It has both capability of trend preservation and denoising. In addition, we jointly consider multi-task learning (MTL) for training shared spatiotemporal information among traffic roads. The experiments on real traffic data show the advantages of the proposed model over other four regularized baseline models, and on traffic data with Gaussian noise and missing data, the FR-MTL model demonstrates potential and promising capability with satisfying accuracy and effectiveness.

The terminal voltage is easily affected by the characteristics of loads and variations in wind speed, loads and system parameters in a stand-alone wind energy conversion system. This paper presents a terminal voltage control scheme that combines the equivalent-input-disturbance (EID) and model predictive control (MPC). The total disturbance is observed and compensated in real time by the EID. A battery energy storage system based on MPC is employed to smooth the fluctuation and imbalance in power caused by the variation in wind speed and loads, thereby solving the problem of terminal voltage flicker and instability. The appropriate terminal voltage can be obtained using the proposed scheme, which is a simple design and offers good prospects for actual applications. The simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.
