Published: February 2020

In bivalve mollusk aquaculture, massive disease outbreaks with high mortality and large economic losses can occur, as in northwest Mexico in the 1990s. A range of pathogens can affect bivalves; one of great concern is ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1), of which there are several strains. This virus has been detected in the Gulf of California in occasional or sporadic samplings, but to date, there have been few systematic studies. Monthly samples ofCrassostrea gigas, water, and sediment were taken in the La Cruz coastal lagoon and analyzed by PCR. The native mollusk,Dosinia ponderosa, which lives outside the lagoon, was sampled as a control. The virus was found throughout the year only inC. gigas, with prevalence up to 60%. In total, 9 genotype variants were detected, and genetic analysis suggests that linear genotypic evolution has occurred from strain JF894308, present in La Cruz in 2011. There has been no evidence of the entry of new viral genotypes in the recent past, thus confinement of the virus within the lagoons of the Gulf of California could promote a native genotypic diversity in the short term.
The Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Heart Disease
Authors: MATLOCH Z. , KOTULÁK T. , HALUZÍK M.
Published: February 2020

Recent studies focused on epicardial fat, formerly relatively neglected component of the heart, have elucidated some of its key roles. It possesses several properties that can distinguish it from other adipose tissue depots. Its unique anatomical location in the heart predisposes the epicardial fat to be an important player in the physiological and biochemical regulation of cardiac homeostasis. Obesity is associated with an increase in epicardial fat mass. Excess of cardiac fat can contribute to greater left ventricular mass and work, diastolic dysfunction and attenuated septal wall thickening. Imbalance in adipokines levels secreted in autocrine or paracrine fashion by epicardial fat can contribute to the activation of the key atherogenic pathways in the setting of metabolic syndrome. Epicardial fat has also been identified as an important source of pro-inflammatory mediators worsening endothelial dysfunction, eventually leading to coronary artery disease. Increased production of pro-inflammatory factors by epicardial fat can also contribute to systemic insulin resistance in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Here we review the most important roles of epicardial fat with respect to heart disease in the context of other underlying pathologies such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Arifatin Fais Wahidatul
Published: February 2020

Conceptual metaphors are noticeable in everyday life, not just in language but in thought and action. They can be found in many life aspects such as advertisements. Through advertising slogans of products, especially coffee, metaphors are used. This paper aims are to: identify and analyze both the conceptual metaphors and the creative metaphorical linguistic expressions used in coffee advertising slogans and the possible reasons why a certain source domain is chosen for coffee target domain. The findings of this paper are that conceptual metaphors are used extensively in coffee advertising slogans to arouse customers’ interest. Good and creative coffee advertising slogans depend on well-chosen conceptual metaphors. This expands some new conceptual metaphors in our everyday life.Since advertising slogans contain brief and short sentences, even not in a full sentence, there could be more than one possible interpretation for each slogan. Different people may have different interpretation. No matter the understanding achieved, the advertising slogans main focus is to deliver a positive message and to promote the products.
SIMULATED ANNEALING APPROACH FOR UNIVERSITY TIMETABLE PROBLEM
Authors: J. Bendi R. Kristoforus , Junaidi Hadi
Published: February 2020

Abstract :  University Scheduling is a way of allocating students, lecturers, and rooms, which is used for lectures in the available time slots. The common problems are that a lecturer is scheduled in the same time slot, or several courses are scheduled in the same room and the same time slot. For this reason, scheduling needs to be made in such a way that it can optimize the use of resources. We use simulated annealing as an approach to solve that problem. The results showed that the higher the initial temperature value used and the greater the iteration value would reduce the violation constraints in scheduling problems.
The Impact of Various Physiotherapy Programs on the Balance, Knee Proprioception, and Flexors/Extensors Strength after Anteriorcruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Authors: Juodžbalienė Vilma , Šimkuvienė Akvilė , Brazaitis Marius , Darbutas Tomas
Published: February 2020

The decrease in knee flexors and extensors strength and poor balance are related to the impairment of the knee proprioception after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction [1, 2]. Therefore, it is important to assess the impact of various physiotherapy programs on static balance, knee proprioception, and thigh muscle strength, and at the same time pursue the qualitative rehabilitation as well as look for the possibilities of assessment of knee proprioception using the isokinetic dynamometer. Twenty volunteers (aged 26–36 years) participated in the study four–five weeks after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The participants were divided into two groups: trial group (n = 10; two women, eight men) and control group (n = 10; two women, eight men). Complementary neuromuscular training and the ordinary physiotherapy program were applied to the trial group for three weeks; the control group received only the ordinary physiotherapy program. Static balance (using Balance error scoring system), knee proprioception (using the isokinetic dynamometer), and thigh muscle strength (using Lovett scale) were determined before and after the three-week intervention period. Participants had to indicate the position of the tested leg, i. e. whether the knee was flexed at 30 or 60 degrees. We established the difference between the indicated and real position of the leg in degrees. The mentioned difference indicated the state of knee proprioception. The outcomes of static balance significantly improved after three weeks of physiotherapy in both groups: trial group — from 12.3 ± 3.4 to 2.1 ± 0.8 errors (p < 0.01), control group – from 12.2 ± 1.6 to 4.2 ± 0.9 errors (p < 0.01). Also, the trial and control groups demonstrated improved condition of knee proprioception at both angular velocities of 15 degrees/s and 30 degrees/s. There were no differences between standard means of knee flexors strength before the intervention. The outcomes of knee flexors strength of the trial group were significantly higher as compared to the outcomes demonstrated by the control group (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in knee extensors strength between both groups. Thus, values of static balance, knee proprioception, and flexors/extensors strength change more rapidly when frequent and longer neuromuscular training is applied. The ordinary physiotherapy program has a positive but less effect on the above mentioned variables.Keywords: anterior cruciate ligament, static balance, proprioception, muscle strength, neuromuscular training.
Contingency, Irony … Textuality: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Textual Criticism
Authors: Creasy Matthew
Published: February 2020

This essay explores the representation of contingency within A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in relation to the textual history of James Joyce's novel. There is a fundamental split in this word between haphazard, chance forms of contingency and contingency as determining circumstances. First, I map these conflicting meanings on to Joyce's presentation of Stephen Dedalus and his drive towards artistic autonomy; then I use this tension to explore the textual condition of Joyce's novel, which seems, paradoxically, to demand a hyper-correct text in order to convey the vulnerability of printed works to unforeseen interventions.

Exploring Factors Influencing Injury Severity of Vehicle At-Fault Accidents: A Comparative Analysis of Passenger and Freight Vehicles
Authors: Wang Jianyu , Lu Huapu , Sun Zhiyuan , Wang Tianshi
Published: February 2020

The objective of this study is to find factors influencing the injury severity of vehicle at-fault accidents in Shenyang (China), and discuss the commonalities and differences between passenger and freight vehicle accidents. We analyzed 1647 traffic accidents from 2015 to 2017, in which motor vehicles were fully or mainly responsible, including 1164 traffic accidents caused by passenger vehicles and 483 traffic accidents caused by freight vehicles. Twenty influencing factors from the aspects of accident, driver, time, space and environmental attributes are analyzed to find their statistical connection with injury severity using the binary logistic regression model. For passenger vehicles, five influencing factors (side collision; illegal act while driving; hit-and-run; season and administrative division), showed statistically significant correlations with the injury severity. For freight vehicles, three influencing factors (illegal act while driving; season and administrative division), showed statistically significant correlations with the injury severity. Illegal act while driving is the only common influencing factor for the injury severity of both passenger and freight vehicle accidents. Side collision and hit-and-run are significant influencing factors for the injury severity of passenger vehicle accidents, but not for freight vehicle accidents. Season and administrative division present different results on influencing passenger and freight vehicle accidents. Based on these results, measures including driver education and road infrastructure improvement could be implemented to reduce the injury severity of accidents in passenger and freight vehicles.
Destabilization of NaBH4 by Transition Metal Fluorides

Published: February 2020

With the goal of improving performance of a hydrogen-rich storage medium, the influence of a collection of first and second period transition metal fluorides on the destabilization of NaBH4 is studied on samples produced by ball milling NaBH4 with 2 mol% of a metal fluoride additive. The effects obtained by increasing additive amount and changing oxidation state are also evaluated for NbF5, CeF3, and CeF4. The as-milled products are characterized by in-house power X-ray diffraction, while the hydrogen release and decomposition are monitored by temperature programmed desorption with residual gas analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry. The screening of samples containing 2 mol% of additive shows that distinctive groups of transition metal fluorides affect the ball milling process differently depending on their enthalpy of formation, melting point, or their ability to react at the temperatures achieved during ball milling. This leads to the formation of NaBF4 in the case of TiF4, MnF3, VF4, CdF2, NbF5, AgF, and CeF3 and the presence of the metal in CrF3, CuF2, and AgF. There is no linear correlation between the position of the transition metal in the periodic table and the observed behavior. The thermal behavior of the products after milling is given by the remaining NaBH4, fluoride, and the formation of intermediate metastable compounds. A noticeable decrease of the decomposition temperature is seen for the majority of the products, with the exceptions of the samples containing YF3, AgF, and CeF3. The largest decrease of the decomposition temperature is observed for NbF5. When comparing increasing amounts of the same additive, the largest decrease of the decomposition temperature is observed for 10 mol% of NbF5. Higher amounts of additive result in the loss of the NaBH4 thermal signal and ultimately the loss of the crystalline borohydride. When comparing additives with the same transition metal and different oxidation states, the most efficient additive is found to be the one with a higher oxidation state. Furthermore, among all the samples studied, higher oxidation state metal fluorides are found to be the most destabilizing agents for NaBH4. Overall, the present study shows that there is no single parameter affecting the destabilization of NaBH4 by transition metal fluorides. Instead, parameters such as the transition metal electronegativity and oxidation state or the enthalpy of formation of the fluoride and its melting point are competing to influence the destabilization. In particular, it is found that the combination of a high metal oxidation state and a low fluoride melting point will enhance destabilization. This is observed for MnF3, NbF5, NiF2, and CuF2, which lead to high gas releases from the decomposition of NaBH4 at the lowest decomposition temperatures.

Published: February 2020

Spray-drying stands as one of the most used techniques to produce inhalable microparticles, but several parameters from both the process and the used materials affect the properties of the resulting microparticles. In this work, we describe the production of drug-loaded chondroitin sulphate microparticles by spray-drying, testing the effect of using different solvents during the process. Full characterisation of the polymer and of the aerodynamic properties of the obtained microparticles are provided envisaging an application in inhalable tuberculosis therapy. The spray-dried microparticles successfully associated two first-line antitubercular drugs (isoniazid and rifabutin) with satisfactory production yield (up to 85%) and drug association efficiency (60%–95%). Ethanol and HCl were tested as co-solvents to aid the solubilisation of rifabutin and microparticles produced with the former generally revealed the best features, presenting a better ability to sustainably release rifabutin. Moreover, these presented aerodynamic properties compatible with deep lung deposition, with an aerodynamic diameter around 4 μm and fine particle fraction of approximately 44%. Finally, it was further demonstrated that the antitubercular activity of the drugs remained unchanged after encapsulation independently of the used solvent.
Intermittent Aeration in a Hybrid Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor for Carbon and Nutrient Biological Removal
Authors: Di Bella Gaetano , Mannina Giorgio
Published: February 2020

The paper presents an experimental study on a lab scale hybrid moving bed biofilm reactor with intermittent aeration. Specifically, a comparison between two different operating conditions was analyzed: continuous and intermittent aeration. Both continuous and intermittent aeration were monitored and compared in order to get the best operational conditions. The intermittent aeration campaign was sub-divided in three phases with different duration of alternation of aerobic and anoxic times and organic and nitrogen loading rates. The efficiency of N-removal improved by 70% during the intermittent aeration. The best condition was observed with 40 min of aeration and 20 min of no-aeration, an organic loading rate of 2.2 kgCODm−3day−1 and a nitrogen loading rate of 0.25 kgNm−3day−1: under these operational conditions the removal efficiencies for carbon and nitrogen were 93% and 90%, respectively. The derived results provide the basis for WWTP upgrade in order to meet stricter effluent limits at low energy requirements.
Optimal Placement of Pressure Sensors Using Fuzzy DEMATEL-Based Sensor Influence

Published: February 2020

Nowadays, optimal sensor placement (OSP) for leakage detection in water distribution networks is a lively field of research, and a challenge for water utilities in terms of network control, management, and maintenance. How many sensors to install and where to install them are crucial decisions to make for those utilities to reach a trade-off between efficiency and economy. In this paper, we address the where-to-install-them part of the OSP through the following elements: nodes’ sensitivity to leakage, uncertainty of information, and redundancy through conditional entropy maximisation. We evaluate relationships among candidate sensors in a network to get a picture of the mutual influence among the nodes. This analysis is performed within a multi-criteria decision-making approach: specifically, a herein proposed variant of DEMATEL, which uses fuzzy logic and builds comparison matrices derived from information obtained through leakage simulations of the network. We apply the proposal first to a toy example to show how the approach works, and then to a real-world case study.
Bifacial reduction sequences observed on the Solutrean large ‘laurel leaves’ from Volgu (Rigny-sur-Arroux, Saône-et-Loire)
Authors: Inada Takashi
Published: February 2020

This paper follows up our previous contribution on the ‘ laurel leaves’ from the Volgu site (Inada, 2014), and further enriches the attempt of reconstructing realistic images of the final phase of bifacial point production through two approaches : analyzing the chronological contexts of removal groups on the central ridges and marginal edges of the fifteen ‘ laurel leaves’, and then establishing as hypothesis the technological concepts of working procedures such as unifacial and bifacial removal stages, and ‘ analog’ and ‘ digital’ reduction sequences. Three types of removal position shifts (A : alternate, B : bifacial, O : opposite) can be used for reducing the four sides of a bifacial piece. However, in order to complete the four sides, two of these three types must be generally combined as six working procedures (OB, AB, AO, BO, BA and OA — except for the case of overshot flaking), that can further be apprehended in a hypothetical general diagram arranging a total sum of twenty-four working procedure aspects. By comparing the results of chronological analysis of removal groups of the pieces with the procedure aspects of this diagram, we were able to discern that the Volgu ‘ laurel leaves’ were produced respectively along the bifacial removal stages according to their specific regularized working procedure aspects. The digital reduction sequence (consisting of this regularized working procedures recognized especially on central ridges), certainly hold a main role in achieving symmetry both in outline and in section of Volgu pieces, a role enabled by the support of the analog reduction sequence (including all phases of reduction observed generally on edges such as visible or hidden normal removals, provisional or complementary removals and even platform preparations). We hope the proposed concepts and diagrams concerning working procedures and removal stages will serve to promote comparative studies among the results of analysis of finished objects, researches into refitted pieces and experimental replications.
Les dégraissants des céramiques des sites d’Avignon (Vaucluse). Nouvelles données, nouvelles visions de l’implantation du Campaniforme dans le Midi de la France
Authors: Convertini Fabien
Published: February 2020

L’analyse en lames minces d’une série de céramiques campaniformes de style pointillé géométrique issues des fouilles réalisées par J. Courtin et G. Sauzade en Avignon dans les années 1960-1970 a permis de déterminer les origines des terres exploitées, le plus souvent locales mais avec des vases étrangers aux contextes géologiques des sites, ainsi que la nature des dégraissants introduits dans ces terres au moment de la préparation des pâtes. Ces analyses complètent celles réalisées il y a 25 ans sur les céramiques de même style d’autres sites provençaux et plus récemment languedociens. Elles ont également été confrontées aux analyses réalisées sur des corpus de vases attribués aux cultures autochtones. Même si macroscopiquement la céramique campaniforme de style pointillé géométrique (style 2 d’O. Lemercier) est nettement différente de celle des groupes culturels locaux (Fontbouisse, Vérazien), elle présente en fait une proximité marquée dans l’emploi des types de dégraissant, lorsqu’ils ont été introduits dans les pâtes, ainsi que des terres exploitées similaires. Ces convergences ne peuvent pas être le fruit du hasard et résultent vraisemblablement de relations étroites, de transferts et d’emprunts entre potiers de différentes traditions. Nous proposons d’expliquer cette situation par la mise en place de relations précoces dans le Sud de la France entre les populations autochtones et des individus étrangers qui fabriquent en majorité localement des gobelets campaniformes. Une adoption probablement rapide (quelques décennies) de cette céramique par une partie des indigènes conduit à la création de nouvelles formes et à la diversification des décors comme cela est illustré sur les sites d’Avignon, mais également d’autres sites provençaux et languedociens.
Valeurs d’usage et d’échange. La dimension prémonétaire des dépôts en Gaule atlantique du XIIIe au Ve s. av. J.-C.
Authors: Milcent Pierre-Yves
Published: February 2020

En Gaule atlantique, 696 dépôts métalliques non funéraires du Bronze final et du premier âge du Fer ont été découverts en milieu terrestre, spécialement dans le Massif armoricain et ses marges. Ils matérialisent deux séquences bien distinctes et successives de pratiques de constitution des dépôts. Au Bronze final, les dépôts réunissent essentiellement des objets variés, entiers ou cassés, à divers stades de leur vie technique. Au premier âge du Fer, ils consistent en objets intacts dont la forme est celle d’une hache, mais qui sont inutilisables en tant qu’outil. L’hypothèse développée ici est que ces dépôts atlantiques fossilisent des formes d’échange et de thésaurisation de la richesse. Plus précisément, nous pensons que les deux séquences matérialisent deux conceptions différentes de la valeur et de l’usage du métal dans un registre économique prémonétaire : la première est fondée sur du bronze pesé en vrac, la seconde sur du bronze plutôt compté sous la forme d’instruments standardisés à cet effet. Ces échanges ayant pour support le métal ne recouvraient probablement qu’une partie des sphères de transaction de l’époque. Sans doute matérialisent-ils le paiement d’obligations sociales particulières.

Miocene deposits at Silkeborg, Jylland, and their influence on hydrology
Authors: Roll Jakobsen Peter , Skovbjerg Rasmussen Erik , Dybkjær Karen , Kidmose Jacob
Published: February 2020

A motorway was constructed in 2010–2016 through the suburbs of the city of Silkeborg (Fig. 1). The Danish Road Directorate wished to climate-proof the motorway against adverse future climate changes. The directorate collaborated with the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) to study the hydrological conditions. Studies of historical and projected climate-change-driven variations in groundwater levels in relation to urbanised hydrological fluxes were conducted by Kidmose et al. (2013, 2015). During the construction of the motorway, Miocene and Quaternary deposits were exposed in the slopes of the Gudenå valley and late-glacial glaciofluvial deposits were found in the valley floor. This paper focuses on the Miocene sediments and their influence on the local hydrological conditions.

At Silkeborg the Gudenå valley is c. 35 m deep (Fig. 1). The surrounding terrain is a till plain. In the slope of the valley, glaciofluvial sand is found below the till. Miocene deposits are found below the glaciofluvial sand. The floor of the Gudenå valley is covered by c. 15 m thick glaciofluvial deposits, which rest on Miocene deposits. In borehole no. DGU 87.907 49 m of Miocene deposits belonging to the Vejle Fjord Formation are recorded, consisting primarily of marine clay with minor occurrences of sandy deposits. About 12 km south of Silkeborg lower Miocene deposits are seen in outcrops and boreholes (Fig. 2). Here the fluvial Addit Member of the Billund Formation (Rasmussen et al. 2010) is separated from the underlying marine Vejle Fjord Formation by a sharp erosional contact (Rasmussen 2014).
3D hydrogeological modelling for urban subsurface management in Odense, Denmark
Authors: Mielby Susie , Martlev Pallesen Tom , Sandersen Peter B.E.
Published: February 2020

The subsurface material in urban areas comprises the original geological succession together with anthropogenic modifications and deposits. The Geological Survey of Denmark previously performed geological mapping in selected Danish cities (e.g. Mertz 1974), but this practice stopped in the mid-1980s. The lack of recent systematic mapping in urban areas is apparent not only in Denmark but also in most other European countries (COST 2015). However, there is a growing demand for knowledge of the subsurface beneath our cities for a number of reasons: increased urbanisation, infiltration of excess surface water and other climate-change related measures, thermal storage, groundwater cooling and abstraction, subsurface infrastructure, infrastructure projects, etc. The physical properties of the subsurface material are in constant change due to urban growth and infrastructure development. This can strongly influence the geotechnical properties and handling of excess surface water. In order to manage both challenges and opportunities of the ground beneath the cities there is a growing need for 3D hydrogeological models that can encompass all relevant parts of the physical subsurface system and act as operational tools in its management. With the main focus on hydrogeology and the urban water cycle, the Municipality of Odense, the local waterworks (VandCenter Syd), the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and two consultants (Alectia and I-GIS) have made a joint effort to systematically map the subsurface layers and build a 3D hydrogeological model of the subsurface of the city of Odense (Fig. 1). This paper provides an overview of the project rationale and an outline of the major results.
Monitoring of pesticide leaching from cultivated fields in Denmark
Authors: Brüsch Walter , Rosenbom Annette E. , Badawi Nora , Olsen Preben
Published: February 2020

The Danish Pesticide Leaching Assessment Programme (PLAP) was initiated in 1998 by the Danish Parliament in order to evaluate whether the use of approved pesticides will result in an unacceptable contamination of the groundwater, if applied under field conditions in accordance with current Danish regulation. In this programme, water samples from variably saturated soil and groundwater collected at five cultivated fields are analysed for selected pesticides and their degradation products. The PLAP results are summarised and evaluated in yearly reports and used by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency in the regulation of pesticides in Denmark (Brüsch et al. 2015). In order to represent typical farming scenarios in Denmark, the test fields are situated on meltwater and marine sands, and on tile-drained clayey soils in till areas.

Published: February 2020

The onshore Cretaceous–Paleocene Nuussuaq Basin in West Greenland (Fig. 1) has long served as an analogue for offshore petroleum exploration. With the discovery of oil seeps on Disko, Nuussuaq, Ubekendt Ejland and Svartenhuk Halvø in the early 1990s, onshore exploration was also carried out. This eventually resulted in the GRO#3 wildcat exploration well on western Nuussuaq in 1996, which showed several intervals with hydrocarbons (Christiansen et al. 1997). Recent photogrammetric mapping of conspicuous marker horizons within the volcanic sequences of the basin shows that significant compressional structures may have developed in the latest Paleocene on central Nuussuuaq and northern Disko that could be promising potential exploration targets.
Potential hydrocarbon reservoirs of Albian–Paleocene age in the Nuussuaq Basin, West Greenland

Published: February 2020

The onshore Nuussuaq Basin in West Greenland is important for hydrocarbon exploration since many of the key petroleum systems components are well exposed and accessible for study. The basin has thus long served as an analogue for offshore exploration. The discovery of oil seeps on Disko, Nuussuaq, Ubekendt Ejland, and Svartenhuk Halvø (Fig. 1) in the early 1990s resulted in exploration onshore as well. In several wells, oil stains were observed in both the siliciclastic sandstone and in the volcanic series. An important aspect of any petroleum system is a high quality reservoir rock. The aim of this paper is to review petrophysical aspects of the reservoir potential of key stratigraphic intervals within the Nuussuaq and West Greenland Basalt groups. Reservoir parameters and porosity–permeability trends for potential siliciclastic and volcanic reservoirs within the relevant formations of the Nuussuaq Basin are discussed below.

Spike fertility index (SF) has been well established as an ecophysiological trait related to grain number per unit area and a promising selection target in wheat breeding programs. Scarce information on the molecular basis of SF is available thus far. In this study, a preliminary molecular marker analysis was carried out in a RIL population derived from the cross between two Argentinean cultivars with contrasting SF to identify candidate genomic regions associated with SF. Twenty-four microsatellites and two functional markers that had been found to co-segregate with SF in a bulked-segregant analysis of the F3 generation of the population were analyzed. Phenotypic data were collected from three field experiments carried out during 2013, 2014 and 2015 growing seasons at Balcarce, Argentina. Two genomic regions associated with SF in chromosomes 5BS and 7AS were detected, which merit further investigation. Key words: selection, genomic regions, grain number, yield, QTL, spike fertility index, fruiting efficiency

Published: February 2020

The article considers the changes of evaporations from land/water surfaces over the past decades, as well as the corresponding hydro/meteorological conditions changes with the Volga basin as a study case. Within the frameworks of the said work, we have measured the evaporation changes from water surface for the 1978–2010 period in respect of the preceding 1951–1977 period. We stated the approximately 10-20% evaporation decrease on the whole Volga basin territory. At that the total evaporation from the land surface has annually averagely 2-4% increased over the period from mid-1960s to late 1980s. For disclosure of the composite regularities of formation of process of evaporation physically reasonable mathematical models of warm moisture transfer in the "soilatmosphere-plant" and "water-the atmosphere" systems have been used. Numerical estimates of influence of all major factors of the evaporation sizes causing change, both from a land surface, and from a water surface are carried out.

The use of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in the field of military, battlefield, healthcare applications etc has seen a plethora of growth towards variety of sensory devices. Irrespective of different locations, the sensor nodes has to do its task. Hence, the dynamic wireless sensor networks should ensure better quality of sensor nodes that covers wider network area and additional services in relative to static WSNs systems. By doing so, it requires secure data communication among the sensor nodes in wireless environment. Key Management is the recent security concept enabled to provide secure communication between sender and receiver nodes. In this paper, we have proposed efficient key updates systems between the nodes. In any scenario, the nodes may join or leaves the network environment which facilitates to initiate a secret key between intended sender and intended receiver. A certificate less key secrecy system is designed for secure communication in wireless links. By designing so, we have addressed the issues like node authentication, data confidentiality and data integrity. Experimental analyses have shown the effectiveness of proposed system.

Digital image processing (DIP) plays a major role in the biomedical image segmentation and classification process. Melanoma detection from skin images is most widely using the application in biomedical imaging. In this paper, a novel algorithm for Melanoma Detection from digital images using multiple feature extraction with a Support Vector Machine (SVM) for highly accurate classification. Multiple features such as color, texture and statistical features are considered to train the SVM. To increase the classification sensitivity, feature extraction is done in (Red, Green, Blue) RGB and (Hue, Intensity, Saturation) HIS color domains. Two separate modules for training and testing is performed with collected sample data by using medical experts. To separate the region from the skin, a cantor-based segmentation technique is used in the gray level component of the input image. The proposed method is tested with various images that are collected from different patients from different places. Form the result validation it is clear that the proposed algorithm can give maximum accuracy of 95% which is best when compared to the conventional classification algorithms
