Influence of Customer Attrition on Diffusion of Business Education Services
Authors: Sachdeva Nitin
Published: March 2019

Innovation diffusion models have been developed by many researchers during the past few decades based on the famous Bass (1969) model. Several such diffusion models have been developed in consideration of price, marketing efforts etc., however, it is hardly seen that customer attrition (disadoption) can play a significant role in long term growth process of any new product or service. This paper defines two types of disadoption process, Type I disadoption and Type II disadoption process, representing disadopters from innovators and imitators, respectively. We illustrate that there is an increase in the market size along with the adoption of new product and this increase is addressed in this paper. The explicit mean value function for the two types of disadoption processes is derived in this paper. The thrust of the research is on studying the management educational services in the Delhi/NCR region of India and the impact of disadoption on the long term growth of such services. In order to validate the proposed modeling framework, we make use of different goodness-of-fit criteria on primary data collected from an institute in Delhi/NCR.

Software effort estimation is a critical task for successful software development, which is necessary for appropriately managing software task assignment and schedule and consequently producing high quality software. Function Point (FP) metrics are commonly used for software effort estimation. To build a good effort estimation model, independent explanatory variables corresponding to FP metrics are required to avoid a multicollinearity problem. For this reason, previous studies have tackled analyzing correlation relationships between FP metrics. However, previous results on the relationships have some inconsistencies. To obtain evidences for such inconsistent results and achieve more effective effort estimation, we propose a novel analysis, which investigates causal-effect relationships between FP metrics and effort. We use an advanced linear non-Gaussian acyclic model called BayesLiNGAM for our causal-effect analysis, and compare the correlation relationships with the causal-effect relationships between FP metrics. In this paper, we report several new findings including the most effective FP metric for effort estimation investigated by our analysis using two datasets.
Digital Circuit Design Utilizing Equation Solving over ‘Big’ Boolean Algebras
Authors: Rushdi Ali Muhammad Ali , Ahmad Waleed
Published: March 2019

A task frequently encountered in digital circuit design is the solution of a two-valued Boolean equation of the form h(X,Y,Z)=1, where h: B_2^(k+m+n)→ B_2 and X,Y, and Z are binary vectors of lengths k, m, and n, representing inputs, intermediary values, and outputs, respectively. The resultant of the suppression of the variables Y from this equation could be written in the form g(X,Z)=1 where g: B_2^(k+n)→ B_2. Typically, one needs to solve for Z in terms of X, and hence it is unavoidable to resort to ‘big’ Boolean algebras which are finite (atomic) Boolean algebras larger than the two-valued Boolean algebra. This is done by reinterpreting the aforementioned g(X,Z) as g(Z): B_(2^K)^n→ B_(2^K ), where B_(2^K ) is the free Boolean algebra FB(X_1,X_2…….X_k ), which has K= 2^k atoms, and 2^K elemnets. This paper describes how to unify many digital specifications into a single Boolean equation, suppress unwanted intermediary variables Y, and solve the equation g(Z)=1 for outputs Z (in terms of inputs X) in the absence of any information about Y. The paper uses a novel method for obtaining the parametric general solutions of the ‘big’ Boolean equation g(Z)=1. The parameters used do not belong to B_(2^K ) but they belong to the two-valued Boolean algebra B_2, also known as the switching algebra or propositional algebra. To achieve this, we have to use distinct independent parameters for each asserted atom in the Boole-Shannon expansion of g(Z). The concepts and methods introduced herein are demonsrated via several detailed examples, which cover the most prominent type among basic problems of digital circuit design.

Published: March 2019

The characteristics of unsteady motion of Casson fluid over a wavy surface with magnetic field is studied. The energy and diffusion equations are encompassed with radiation, heat source and thermo diffusion effects. The flow governing equations have been solved using regular perturbation technique. MATLAB bvp4c package is for discerning the impact of governing parameters on the usual flow profiles. various pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles of the Casson fluid flow. The frictional factor, heat and mass transfer coefficients are tabulated for the same parameters. From this analysis, it is worth mentioning that a hike in fluid viscosity slowdowns the velocity profiles but the result is opposite with Soret effect. Also, accelerating values of radiation parameter uplifts the rate of mass and heat transport but controls the shear stress.

Authors: Sibiya Malusi , Sumbwanyambe Mbuyu
Published: March 2019

Plant leaf diseases can affect plant leaves to a certain extent that the plants can collapse and die completely. These diseases may drastically decrease the supply of vegetables and fruits to the market, and result in a low agricultural economy. In the literature, different laboratory methods of plant leaf disease detection have been used. These methods were time consuming and could not cover large areas for the detection of leaf diseases. This study infiltrates through the facilitated principles of the convolutional neural network (CNN) in order to model a network for image recognition and classification of these diseases. Neuroph was used to perform the training of a CNN network that recognised and classified images of the maize leaf diseases that were collected by use of a smart phone camera. A novel way of training and methodology was used to expedite a quick and easy implementation of the system in practice. The developed model was able to recognise three different types of maize leaf diseases out of healthy leaves. The northern corn leaf blight (Exserohilum), common rust (Puccinia sorghi) and gray leaf spot (Cercospora) diseases were chosen for this study as they affect most parts of Southern Africa’s maize fields.

Published: March 2019

A precise lithium-ion battery model is required to specify their appropriateness for different applications and to study their dynamic behavior. In addition, it is important to design an efficient battery system for power applications. In this investigation, a second-order equivalent electrical circuit battery model, which is the most conventional method of characterizing the behavior of a lithium-ion battery, was developed. The current pulse procedure was employed for parameterization of the model. The construction of the model was described in detail, and a battery model for a 13 Ah lithium titanate oxide battery cell was demonstrated. Comprehensive characterization experiments were accomplished for an extensive range of operating situations. The outcomes were employed to parameterize the suggested dynamic model of the lithium titanate oxide battery cell. The simulation outcomes were compared to the laboratory measurements. In addition, the proposed lithium-ion battery model was validated. The recommended model was assessed, and the proposed model was able to anticipate precisely the current and voltage performance.
A High-Resolution Global Gridded Historical Dataset of Climate Extreme Indices
Authors: Mistry Malcolm N.
Published: March 2019

Climate extreme indices (CEIs) are important metrics that not only assist in the analysis of regional and global extremes in meteorological events, but also aid climate modellers and policymakers in the assessment of sectoral impacts. Global high-spatial-resolution CEI datasets derived from quality-controlled historical observations, or reanalysis data products are scarce. This study introduces a new high-resolution global gridded dataset of CEIs based on sub-daily temperature and precipitation data from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). The dataset called “CEI_0p25_1970_2016” includes 71 annual (and in some cases monthly) CEIs at 0.25 ∘ × 0.25 ∘ gridded resolution, covering 47 years over the period 1970–2016. The data of individual indices are publicly available for download in the commonly used Network Common Data Form 4 (NetCDF4) format. Potential applications of CEI_0p25_1970_2016 presented here include the assessment of sectoral impacts (e.g., Agriculture, Health, Energy, and Hydrology), as well as the identification of hot spots (clusters) showing similar historical spatial patterns of high/low temperature and precipitation extremes. CEI_0p25_1970_2016 fills gaps in existing CEI datasets by encompassing not only more indices, but also by being the only comprehensive global gridded CEI data available at high spatial resolution.
Ionic Stress Prompts Premature Hatching of Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Embryos
Authors: Ord James
Published: March 2019

Ionic homeostasis is an essential component of functioning cells, and ionic stress imposed by excessive salinity can disrupt cellular and physiological processes. Therefore, increasing salinity of aquatic environments—a consequence of global climate change—has the potential to adversely affect the health of aquatic animals and their ecosystems. The ability to respond adaptively to adverse environmental changes is essential for the survival of species, but animals in early embryonic stages may be particularly vulnerable, as they cannot easily escape from such conditions. Herein, the effects of increasing salinity on the mortality and hatching time of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were investigated. Increasing salinity significantly affected mortality after 24 h of exposure beginning from <2 h post-fertilisation, with 10 parts per thousand (ppt) inducing complete lethality. The 24-h LC50 of NaCl to embryos was estimated to be approximately 5.6 ppt. Interestingly, 5 ppt, a test concentration only slightly lower than the LC50, induced earlier hatching than at lower concentrations. This earlier hatching was also observed even when exposure was commenced at later stages of embryogenesis, despite later-stage embryos not suffering appreciable mortality in response to salinity. The results suggest that earlier hatching is a plastic response which may function to enable embryos to evade unfavourable conditions.

Published: March 2019

In this paper, fractal stochastic Langevin equations are suggested, providing a mathematical model for random walks on the middle- τ Cantor set. The fractal mean square displacement of different random walks on the middle- τ Cantor set are presented. Fractal under-damped and over-damped Langevin equations, fractal scaled Brownian motion, and ultra-slow fractal scaled Brownian motion are suggested and the corresponding fractal mean square displacements are obtained. The results are plotted to show the details.
Digital Survey for the Archaeological Analysis and the Enhancement of Gropina Archaeological Site
Authors: Bertocci Stefano , Arrighetti Andrea , Bigongiari Matteo
Published: March 2019

This paper concerns the path of knowledge that leads to the understanding of the morphology and evolution of the archaeological area discovered in the 1960s below the parish church of Gropina (AR). By dealing with archaeological surveying methods, the attention is focused on the digital survey technologies used, integrating data from laser scanner instruments with photogrammetric ones. The morphological base was necessary for the preparation of stratigraphic analyses, and allowed us to check the previous studies carried out on the building to extract a periodized planimetry. Finally, the digital drawing technologies have allowed us to hypothesize the schematic evolutionary models of the different phases of the building, and to use the digital survey to create a virtual platform through which to interact with the archaeological site, which is now closed to visitors.
Neighborhood Tax Foreclosures, Educational Attainment, and Preterm Birth among Urban African American Women
Authors: Sealy-Jefferson Shawnita , Misra Dawn P.
Published: March 2019

Ecological evidence suggests that neighborhoods with more tax foreclosures also have more adverse birth outcomes. However, whether neighborhood-level tax foreclosures impact individual-level risk for adverse birth outcomes is unknown. We assessed whether living in a neighborhood with high tax foreclosures is associated with a woman’s preterm birth (PTB) risk and tested for effect modification by educational attainment, among urban African American women from the Life Influence on Fetal Environments Study (2009–2011; n = 686). We linked survey and medical record data to archival, block-group level tax foreclosure data from the county treasurer. We used Modified Poisson regression with robust error variance and included a foreclosure X education interaction in adjusted models. In the overall sample, neighborhood tax foreclosures did not predict PTB (adjusted relative risk: 0.93, CI: 0.74, 1.16), but the association was modified by educational attainment (interaction p = 0.01). Among women with lower education (n = 227), neighborhood tax foreclosures did not predict PTB risk. The association for women with higher education (n = 401) was statistically significant for a reduction in risk for PTB (adjusted relative risk: 0.74, CI: 0.55, 0.98) among those who lived in neighborhoods with high versus low tax foreclosures. Future studies should seek to identify the mechanisms of this association.

Pollution is shown as the environmental challenge, which has the greatest impact on global climate change. Faced with this situation, numerous environmental summits agree on the fact that Environmental Education needs to be implemented within the different disciplines and educational institutions. Therefore, Further Education must foster the research and management of environmental education with the aim of developing responsible citizens with sustainable attitudes. Based on this idea, this paper aimed to analyse the attitudes in Further Education students towards different situations and habits linked to pollution, as well as some of its varied typologies (chemical pollution, acoustic pollution and management of solid urban waste and rubbish). To achieve this, a sample of 307 students from different degrees of Preschool and Primary Education was included, using a questionnaire as a measuring instrument. The methodology of the study was both descriptive, through the analysis of its measures, and inferential, with the preparation of a confirmatory conceptual model through the structural equation model (SEM). Results revealed that students are highly concerned about the different situations proposed, and that the predictive model forges strong correlations between the four variables of the study. Hence, the study focused on the idea of trying to enhance environmental awareness in the groups of students from different educational phases, to subsequently foster the implementation of specific actions aimed at preserving and conserving natural resources, and to guide society towards sustainable development.
