Genetic grey wolf optimization and C-mixture for collaborative data publishing
Authors: Kulkarni Yogesh R. , Murugan T. Senthil
Published: October 2018

Data publishing is an area of interest in present day technology that has gained huge attention of researchers and experts. The concept of data publishing faces a lot of security issues, indicating that when any trusted organization provides data to a third party, personal information need not be disclosed. Therefore, to maintain the privacy of the data, this paper proposes an algorithm for privacy preserved collaborative data publishing using the Genetic Grey Wolf Optimizer (Genetic GWO) algorithm for which a C-mixture parameter is used. The C-mixture parameter enhances the privacy of the data if the data does not satisfy the privacy constraints, such as the [Formula: see text]-anonymity, [Formula: see text]-diversity and the [Formula: see text]-privacy. A minimum fitness value is maintained that depends on the minimum value of the generalized information loss and the minimum value of the average equivalence class size. The minimum value of the fitness ensures the maximum utility and the maximum privacy. Experimentation was carried out using the adult dataset, and the proposed Genetic GWO outperformed the existing methods in terms of the generalized information loss and the average equivalence class metric and achieved minimum values at a rate of 0.402 and 0.9, respectively.

Published: October 2018

Pelo fato de o Aquífero Rio Claro ser um aquífero livre e de estar relativamente próximo da superfície, acaba se tornando susceptível à infiltração de contaminantes das mais variadas fontes. O presente artigo apresenta um estudo sobre a vulnerabilidade das camadas superficiais dos perfis de alteração da Formação Rio Claro na porção norte da Bacia Hidrográfica do Ribeirão Claro. Como produto principal, foi gerado um mapa de vulnerabilidade à contaminação, na escala 1:50.000, que correlaciona a geologia e o uso e ocupação do solo na área. Além disso, foram realizados ensaios geotécnicos in situ com o permeâmetro de Guelph e a coleta de amostras deformadas e indeformadas de solos pertencentes à Formação Rio Claro para a realização de ensaios geotécnicos para obtenção dos índices físicos e de granulometria e sedimentação. Com os resultados obtidos foi possível observar uma heterogeneidade nos valores de condutividade hidráulica nos solos da Formação Rio Claro, reflexo de sua composição também variada. A vulnerabilidade à contaminação observada neste estudo foi, em geral, alta para toda a área do aquífero.

GENDER GAP IN SMOKING: A NONLINEAR DECOMPOSITION ANALYSIS FOR TURKEY
Authors: PEKKURNAZ Didem , ELİTAŞ Zeynep
Published: October 2018

This paper aims to analyze the determinants of gender gap in smoking and compare the results between 2008 and 2012, the period of National Tobacco Control Action Plan. We apply the extended Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition using the Global Adult Tobacco Survey. We find that the percentage of the smoking differential explained is sensitive to the choice of the reference coefficients. Moreover, an inclusion of attitude toward tobacco law and tax variables increases the percentage of the explained differential when females and males differ only with respect to the differences in the observed characteristics. Results show that females and males respond differently to the changes in the factors of smoking. In addition, decomposition analysis reveals that contributions of the significant factors associated with gender gap in smoking differ between 2008 and 2012.
Resurrection of the earthworm species Dendrobaena fedtschenkoi (Michaelsen, 1900), a former synonym of Dendrobaena byblica (Rosa, 1893) (Clitellata: Megadrili)

Published: October 2018

Dendrobaena byblica (Rosa, 1893) is a Circum-Mediterranean earthworm species complex containing more than a dozen synonymous names. From these, only two species have been resurrected so far, D. ganglbaueri (Rosa, 1894) and Fitzingeria annectens (Rosa, 1895). Here we demonstrate that Dendrobaena fedtschenkoi (Michaelsen, 1900) described from the Pamir Mts. Tajikistan differs from D. byblica both in morphological and molecular features, and represents an independent species.

Published: October 2018

Comparative studies were carried out on growth and reproduction patterns of eight populations of Eisenia andrei (Bouché, 1972) from different parts of western Iran along the Zagros Mountains, considered to lie within the natural range of this species. Parameters were gain in body weight, number of cocoon production, hatching success, number of hatchlings, hatchlings growth and survival. There were significant differences in mean numbers of viable cocoons, incubation time, reproductive rate, growth rate and final weight between different populations. The resulting groupings did only partially coincide with genetic clusters established in a previous study. It is nonetheless suggested to include life cycle parameters as an additional set of data to understand the micro-taxonomic structure of variable species.

Published: October 2018

Automated feature tracking and vehicle navigation have the potential to facilitate autonomous surveys of ocean eddies by increasing sampling quality and/or decreasing operator workload. During an observational campaign in late 2013 and early 2014, methods for automated tracking were used to direct multiple ocean gliders during persistent surveys of a California Undercurrent eddy in Washington and British Columbia, Canada, coastal waters over a 3-month period. Glider observations of depth-averaged currents in the ocean’s upper kilometer and vertical separation of selected isopycnals were assimilated into a simple model describing eddy position, size, strength, and background flows using an extended Kalman filter. Though differing in detail from observations, results show the assumed eddy structure was sufficient to describe its essential characteristics and stably estimate eddy position through time. Forecast eddy positions and currents were used to select targets automatically to guide multiple gliders along transects through the eddy center as it translated. Transects performed under automated navigation had comparable or better straightness and distance from the eddy center when compared to navigation based on manual interpretation of the eddy scale and position. The tracking results were relatively insensitive to model choices at times when the eddy was well sampled, but they were more sensitive during sampling gaps and redundancies or rapid eddy translation. Overall, the results provide evidence that automated tracking and navigation are feasible with potential for widespread application in autonomous eddy surveys.
Abortion Knowledge and Attitudes Among Psychologists and Graduate Students
Authors: Mollen Debra , Hargons Candice , Klann Elyssa M. , Mosley Della V.
Published: October 2018

Abortion is often misunderstood and steeped in misinformation. Laypeople and medical professionals tend to have limited abortion knowledge. Among the public, individuals who hold accurate information about abortion are more likely to endorse pro-choice attitudes than individuals who are misinformed. We explored knowledge of, and attitudes toward, abortion among 142 psychologists and graduate students. Participants responded accurately, on average, to 68% of the items on a true–false measure of abortion knowledge. In addition, participants with higher levels of accurate knowledge were more likely to endorse pro-choice attitudes. Participants were especially likely to incorrectly answer items related to the prevalence, availability, and current legality of abortion in the United States. Analyzing qualitative interviews with a subset of 13 participants, we generated four themes related to knowledge and attitudes about abortion: Assuming Proficiency Despite Minimal Training, Pursuing Outside Knowledge and Training, Framing Abortion Around Identities, and Perceiving and Experiencing Consequences from Abortion Attitudes. Implications for training are delineated.

In this work, the effect of the incorporation of leather wastes from chrome tanning on the mechanical and rheometric properties of natural rubber-based composite was evaluated. Chrome content in leather wastes diminished as a result of a chemical treatment with a sodium bicarbonate solution. The treatment also improved the tensile properties of composites with 0, 20 and 40 parts per hundred rubber of leather wastes with particle size between 590 and 840 µm. In a second stage of the experimental work, 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 parts per hundred rubber of chemically treated leather wastes with particle size between 297 and 590 µm were incorporated to the same natural rubber compound studied in the first part of this study. All the composites were prepared in a torque rheometer, seeking to determine their rheological behaviour during mixing. Rheometric properties of all the composites during curing were monitored in a moving die rheometer. Tensile properties, tear strength, hardness, compressive modulus, compression-set, abrasive wear resistance and De Mattia flexing fatigue resistance for composites obtained in the second experimental set of this work were evaluated. It was found that leather wastes improved the hardness, stiffness, tear strength and abrasive wear resistance on the composites. However, elongation at break, flexural fatigue and tensile strength diminished when a large quantity of wastes was incorporated.

Introduction

Many patients with cluster headache report use of illicit drugs. We systematically assessed the use of illicit drugs and their effects in a well-defined Dutch cluster headache population.

Methods

In this cross-sectional explorative study, 756 people with cluster headache received a questionnaire on lifetime use and perceived effects of illicit drugs. Results were compared with age and sex-matched official data from the Dutch general population.

Results

Compared to the data from the general population, there were more illicit drug users in the cluster headache group (31.7% vs. 23.8%; p < 0.01). Reduction in attack frequency was reported by 56% (n = 22) of psilocybin mushroom, 60% (n = 3) of lysergic acid diethylamide and 50% (n = 2) of heroin users, and a decreased attack duration was reported by 46% (n = 18) of PSI, 50% (n = 2) of heroin and 36% (n = 8) of amphetamine users.

Conclusion

In the Netherlands, people with cluster headache use illicit drugs more often than the general population. The question remains whether this is due to an actual alleviatory effect, placebo response, conviction, or common pathophysiological background between cluster headache and addictive behaviours such as drug use.
Streetcars and Economic Development: Do Streetcars Stimulate Employment Growth?
Authors: Hinners Sarah Jack , Nelson Arthur C. , Buchert Martin
Published: October 2018

This study reports economic development outcomes—defined as change in employment—for areas within 0.25 mi of three streetcar stations along four lines in each of four cities: Portland OR; Salt Lake City UT; Seattle WA; and New Orleans LA. Employment 3 years prior to the start of the streetcar construction was compared with employment within the three streetcar station areas in 2013. Before–after comparisons were also applied to 10 bus stops within each urbanized area selected as “controls” because they were quantitatively comparable to each streetcar station area studied. Shift-share analysis is used to compare each streetcar and control station area’s employment trends with respect to central county economic performance. Portland’s system showed strong economic development consistency followed by New Orleans. The Salt Lake City and Seattle lines, however, did not perform as consistently. These results indicate that although streetcar investment may support economic development, it is not alone a driver of employment growth.
