Published: August 2020

This study deals with the importance and enhancement of plant extracts on the development of phytopathogenic fungi. It was carried out to evaluate the antifungal activity of the methanolic and ethanolic extract of alanda (Ephedra alata subsp. alenda (Stapf) Trab. [1905]), originating from the arid regions collected from the saoura region on May month of 2018’s year. The test was tested on mycelial growth of three Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa), strains of the causal agent of Bayoud disease on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), with three different concentrations of methanolic and ethanolic extracts. The results revealed a significant (P<0.05) on mycelial growth of Foa strains. The values of the inhibition rate vary between 25,4 and 70,6% by methanolic extract effect and between 28,3 and 70,9% by ethanolic extract. In comparison between these two plant extracts, the similarity of inhibition was observed, while, between concentrations, the two concentrations 10-1 and 10-2 g / ml have important antifungal activity than the third concentration 10-3 g / ml, in all two extracts. Findings in this study con-firmed that the extract of this plant can be used as natural fungicide against bayoud disease in Algerian palm groves.

Published: August 2020

The essential oils, nowadays, are of increasing interest to chemists and biologists due to their use in the treatment of certain infectious diseases. In our study, we evaluated the level and antibacterial activity of the essential seeds oil from Algerian Fenugreek, Trigonella foenum-graecum (L.), in order to estimate their industrial valuation. This species, from the Fabaceae family, is widespread in Algeria and is used by local people for its medicinal and condiment properties. To conduct this study, the cross sections were carried out at seed level. The essential oils were extracted by hydrodistilation and refractive index was also measured. The antibacterial activity was carried out by the diffusion method and the MICs were determined. The anatomical study showed a structure similar to that of the majority of leguminous seeds. The yield of essential oil was 4.2%. The results also revealed that the Gram positive and Gram negative strains of bacteria had different responses to essential oil. The latter inhibited the growth of Staphylococus aureus (Gram positive, ATCC 43300) and Escherichia coli (Gram negative, ATCC 25922) with inhibition zone diameter 12 mm and 11 mm, respectively. The MICs were 56.25 mg/mL and 225 mg/mL, respectively (significant antibacterial activity). We concluded that fenugreek essential oil from seeds could be an important source of antibacterial agents used in food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Published: August 2020

Lycium is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. This study aims at investigating the chemical composition and the antioxidant activity of Lycium halimifolium Mill leaves. A fractionation of its crude hydro-methanolic extract was carried out using organic solvents. The characterization of chemical compounds was carried out by HPLC-PDA, and the antioxidant activity of different fractions was evaluated by two methods; DPPH and FRAP. The obtained results show that the two fractions; ethyl acetate (ACT) and n-butanol (BUT); of the leaves of L. halimifolium Mill exhibited considerable contents of polyphenols estimated at 21.66± 0.22, 42.21 ± 0.32 μg GAE/ mg DW, respectively. Whereas, those of flavonoids also showed interesting values estimated at 29.7 ± 0.03 for ACT and 20.3 ± 0.05 μg QE / mg DW for BUT. On the other hand, low levels of tannins were obtained and equal to 7.35 ± 0.02 (ACT) and 8.12 ± 0.36 μg CE / mg DW (BUT). The evaluation of the two fractions’ antioxidant activity showed that the BUT fraction (IC50= 56.142 ± 0.54 μg/ml) was more active than the ACT fraction (IC50= 303.04 ±1.35μg/ml). The chromatographic identification of ACT fraction made it possible to characterize a flavonoid (rutin) with a rate equal to 9.95% and a phenolic acid: protocatechic acid with 3.45%. While the BUT fraction contains the phenolic acid: the Protocatechic acid estimated at 19.11%. Protocatechic acid was reported to have been identified for the first time in this work in the leaves of L. halimifolium Mill.

Published: August 2020

The objective of this study was to investigate a possible biological activities of oligosaccharides resulting from the hydrolysis of parietal hemicelluloses of the foliar tissue of Aristida pungens. Known for its developed, fiber rich foliar tissue, this perennial grasses is widely distributed on the arid and sub-desertic regions of Algeria. In order to identify added value application for the cell wall hemicellulose of Aristida pungens (Poaceae), the polymers were hydrolyzed enzymatically and after size exclusion chromatography, oligosaccharide fragments were tested for their abilities to modify the germination and growth of barley seeds (Hordeum vulgare). Five fractions were separated with different compositions and molecular weights. The low molecular weight fractions were mostly composed of oligoxylans, while the high molecular weight fractions consisted of oligo-glucuronoarabinoxylans. Biological tests suggested that the oligosaccharide fractions and particularly the low molecular weight fraction could promote germination and increase root bio-mass at low concentrations or reduce it at higher concentrations, suggesting a possible bio-stimulating application.
Molecular Detection of Drug resistant and Non Tuberculosis Mycobacteria using Line Probe Assay: A case study from North India
Authors: Nowshad Wani Zafar , Ubaid-ullah Shah
Published: August 2020

Growing concerns about the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and the emergence of extensively drug-resistant TB have triggered substantial interest in the development and application of rapid tests for the detection of drug-resistant TB. Molecular assays to detect gene mutations that signal drug resistance are widely recognized as being most suited for rapid diagnosis. Among molecular assays, line probe assays (LPA) have shown great promise. In this study, we have tested eight hundred thirty smear positive sputum samples by LPA for the presence of M. tuberculosis complex and resistance to isoniazid and rifampicin as per the diagnostic mandate of an accredited reference laboratory. As per the mandate, samples that were positive for M. tuberculosis complex were cultured, and then again tested by LPA. A retrospective analysis of the results was carried out. M. tuberculosis complex could be detected in 797 (96.02%) but not in 33 (3.9%) of smear-positive sputum samples. Of the 797 positive samples, 24 (3.0%) were MDR, 6 (0.75%) were rifampicin mono-resistant and 33(4.1%) were INH mono-resistant. LPAs have a continued role for use in settings where rapid identification of INH resistance and clinically relevant NTM are priorities.
In vitro antagonism between actinomycete isolates and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Ciceri: The causative agent of chickpea vascular wilt

Published: August 2020

The chickpea is one of the most consumed crops in Algeria. Unfortunately, it is damaged by the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri, the vascular wilt agent. In this study, we highlight the antagonistic activity of actinomycetes which we can use as biological tool to fight this dreaded phytopathogenic fungus. We recovered from the arid soils of southern Algeria, 61 isolates of actinomycetes with different morphological characteristics. Then, we tested the antagonistic activity of these actinomycete isolates, by various in vitro methods, on the growth of the phytopathogenic fungus. The thin layer chromatography was used on the selected actinomycete extract. As results, we obtained 06 isolates of actinomycetes (ACT1, ACT2, ACT3, ACT4, ACT5 and ACT6) presenting potential antagonistic activities against 3 isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri (FOC8, FOC13 and FOC15). Preliminary identification using morphological criteria revealed the presence of Streptomyces characteristics for the 6 isolates. The activity of the crude extract from the selected actinomycete isolates against the 3 isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri showed that the activity of the isolate ACT2 was greater compared to the others. The thin layer chromatography of the culture filtrate crude extract showed the presence of 5 fractionswith each fraction representing bioactive molecules.
Molecular Gas in 21 and 30 μm Sources: The 2 mm and 1.3 mm Spectra of IRAS 21318+5631 and 22272+5435
Authors: Zhang Yong
Published: August 2020

The carriers of the 21 and 30 μm emission features in infrared spectra of circumstellar envelopes are a long-standing enigma. In this paper, we present the results of molecular line observations toward two circumstellar envelopes exhibiting the 21 and/or 30 μm features, IRAS 21318+5631 and 22272+5435. We investigate whether they have unusual gas-phase chemistry and search for a possible gas-phase precursor of the carriers of the two dust features. The spectra cover several discrete frequency ranges of 130–164 GHz and 216.5–273 GHz, resulting in a detection of 13 molecular species and isotopologues in each object. A rotation-diagram analysis is carried out to determine the molecular abundances, column densities, and excitation temperatures. We did not discover any molecular species that would be unexpected in a normal C-rich star. Nevertheless, there exists subtle differences between their molecular abundances. IRAS 22272+5435 shows stronger SiC2 and HC3N lines and weaker SiS lines than IRAS 21318+5631, suggesting that this 21 μm source is more carbon-rich and has experienced more efficient dust formation. We discuss the potential implications of the results for the carriers of the 21 μm and 30 μm features.
How Do Supernovae Impact the Circumgalactic Medium? I. Large-scale Fountains around a Milky Way–like Galaxy
Authors: Li 李 Miao 邈 , Tonnesen Stephanie
Published: August 2020

Feedback is indispensable in galaxy formation. However, lacking resolutions, cosmological simulations often use ad hoc feedback parameters. Conversely, small-box simulations, while they better resolve the feedback, cannot capture gas evolution beyond the simulation domain. We aim to bridge the gap by implementing small-box results of supernovae-driven outflows into dark matter halo-scale simulations and studying their impact on large scales. Galactic outflows are multiphase, but small-box simulations show that the hot phase (T ≈ 106–7 K) carries the majority of energy and metals. We implement hot outflows in idealized simulations of the Milky Way halo, and examine how they impact the circumgalactic medium. In this paper, we discuss the case when the star formation surface density is low and therefore the emerging hot outflows are gravitationally bound by the halo. We find that outflows form a large-scale, metal-enriched atmosphere with fountain motions. As hot gas accumulates, the inner atmosphere becomes “saturated.” Cool gas condenses, with a rate balancing the injection of the hot outflows. This balance leads to a universal density profile of the hot atmosphere, independent of mass outflow rate. The atmosphere has a radially decreasing temperature, naturally producing the observed X-ray luminosity and column densities of O vi, O vii, and O viii. The self-regulated atmosphere has a baryon and a metal mass of (0.5–1.2) × 1010
M
⊙ and (0.6–1.4) × 108
M
⊙, respectively, small compared to the “missing” baryons and metals from the halo. We conjecture that the missing materials reside at even larger radii, ejected by more powerful outflows in the past.

The origin of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters (GCs) is one of the greatest mysteries of modern stellar astrophysics. N-body simulations suggest that the present-day dynamics of GC stars can constrain the events that occurred at high redshift and led to the formation of multiple populations. Here, we combine multiband photometry from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-based facilities with HST and Gaia Data Release 2 proper motions to investigate the spatial distributions and the motions in the plane of the sky of multiple populations in the Type II GCs NGC 5139 (ω Centauri) and NGC 6656 (M22). We first analyzed stellar populations with different metallicities. Fe-poor and Fe-rich stars in M22 share similar spatial distributions and rotation patterns and exhibit similar isotropic motions. Similarly, the two main populations with different iron abundance in ω Centauri share similar ellipticities and rotation patterns. When different radial regions are analyzed, we find that the rotation amplitude decreases from the center toward the external regions. Fe-poor and Fe-rich stars of ω Centauri are radially anisotropic in the central region and show similar degrees of anisotropy. We also investigate the stellar populations with different light-element abundances and find that their N-rich stars exhibit higher ellipticity than N-poor stars. In ω Centauri both stellar groups are radially anisotropic. Interestingly, N-rich, Fe-rich stars exhibit different rotation patterns than N-poor stars with similar metallicities. The stellar populations with different nitrogen of M22 exhibit similar rotation patterns and isotropic motions. We discuss these findings in the context of the formation of multiple populations.

The Vega planetary system hosts the archetype of extrasolar Kuiper belts and is rich in dust from the sub-astronomical unit region out to hundreds of astronomical units, suggesting intense dynamical activity. We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) millimeter observations that detect and resolve the outer dust belt from the star for the first time. The interferometric visibilities show that the belt can be fit by a Gaussian model or by power-law models with a steep inner edge (at 60–80 au). The belt is very broad, extending out to at least 150–200 au. We strongly detect the star and set a stringent upper limit to warm dust emission previously detected in the infrared. We discuss three scenarios that could explain the architecture of Vega’s planetary system, including the new ALMA constraints: no outer planets, a chain of low-mass planets, and a single giant planet. The planetless scenario is only feasible if the outer belt was born with the observed sharp inner edge. If, instead, the inner edge is currently being truncated by a planet, then the planet must be

and at

to have cleared its chaotic zone within the system age. In the planet chain scenario, outward planet migration and inward scattering of planetesimals could produce the hot and warm dust observed in the inner regions of the system. In the single giant planet scenario, an asteroid belt could be responsible for the warm dust, and mean motion resonances with the planet could put asteroids on star-grazing orbits, producing the hot dust.

We present a multiwavelength investigation of the radio galaxy population in the galaxy cluster MOO J1506+5137 at z = 1.09 ± 0.03, which in previous work we identified as having multiple complex radio sources. The combined data set used in this work includes data from the Low-Frequency Array Two-meter Sky Survey, NSF’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, the Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey. We find that there are five radio sources, which are all located within 500 kpc (∼1′) of the cluster center and have radio luminosities P
1.4 GHz > 1.6 × 1024 W Hz−1. The typical host galaxies are among the highest stellar mass galaxies in the cluster. The exceptional radio activity among the massive galaxy population appears to be linked to the dynamical state of the cluster. The galaxy distribution suggests an ongoing merger, with a subgroup found to the northwest of the main cluster. Furthermore, two of the five sources are classified as bent-tail sources, with one being a potential wide-angle tail/hybrid morphology radio source, indicating a dynamic environment. The cluster also lies in a region of the mass–richness plane occupied by other merging clusters in the Massive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey. The data suggest that during the merger phase, radio activity can be dramatically enhanced, which would contribute to the observed trend of increased radio activity in clusters with increasing redshift.

While protoplanetary disks often appear to be compact and well organized in millimeter continuum emission, CO spectral line observations are increasingly revealing complex behavior at large distances from the host star. We present deep Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array maps of the J = 2−1 transition of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O, as well as the J = 3−2 transition of DCO+, toward the T Tauri star RU Lup at a resolution of ∼0.3″ (∼50 au). The CO isotopologue emission traces four major components of the RU Lup system: a compact Keplerian disk with a radius of ∼120 au, a non-Keplerian “envelope-like” structure surrounding the disk and extending to ∼260 au from the star, at least five blueshifted spiral arms stretching up to 1000 au, and clumps outside the spiral arms located up to 1500 au in projection from RU Lup. We comment on potential explanations for RU Lup’s peculiar gas morphology, including gravitational instability, accretion of material onto the disk, or perturbation by another star. RU Lup’s extended non-Keplerian CO emission, elevated stellar accretion rate, and unusual photometric variability suggest that it could be a scaled-down Class II analog of the outbursting FU Ori systems.
The Molecular Clouds Associated with the H ii Regions/Candidates between L = 207.°7 and L = 211.°7

Published: August 2020

Using the PMO-13.7 m millimeter telescope at Delingha in China, we have conducted a large-scale simultaneous survey of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O J = 1 − 0 emission toward the sky region centered at l = 209.°7, b = −2.°25 with a coverage of 4.°0 × 4.°5. The majority of the emission in the region comes from the clouds with velocities lying in the range from −3 to 55 km s−1, at kinematic distances from 0.5 to 7.0 kpc. The molecular clouds in the region are concentrated into three velocity ranges. The molecular clouds associated with the 10 H ii regions/candidates are identified and their physical properties are presented. Massive stars are found within Sh2-280, Sh2-282, Sh2-283, and BFS54, and we suggest them to be the candidate excitation sources of the H ii regions. The distributions of the excitation temperature and line width with the projected distance from the center of H ii region/candidate suggest that the majority of the 10 H ii regions/candidates and their associated molecular gas are three-dimensional structures, rather than two-dimensional structures.
Deflection of Global Ion Flow by the Martian Crustal Magnetic Fields

Published: August 2020

Without the protection of a global magnetic field, erosion of the Martian ionosphere by the solar wind leads to abundant loss of atmospheric particles. Although the crustal magnetic fields in the Martian southern hemisphere are strong enough to affect the dayside-induced magnetosphere, there is still limited evidence for the deflection of the solar winds by the crustal magnetic fields. With 4 years of ion data measured by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN mission, we investigate the flow pattern of protons, O+, and

when the crustal fields rotate to different local times. Our result is the first evidence that suggests the crustal magnetic fields can withstand the solar wind flows on the Martian dayside and can effectively trap heavy ions below 1000 km. The gyroradii of heavy ions in the strong crustal fields regions are one order of magnitude smaller than in other regions. The trapping effect causes different flow patterns, while the crustal fields rotate to different subsolar regions but are attenuated at higher altitudes. Observations provide essential information to investigate the effect of the crustal magnetic fields on heavy-ion flows and understand the role of the crustal magnetic fields in the interaction between the solar wind and the Martian atmosphere.

Published: August 2020

Kommerell diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch characterized by dilation at the proximal descending aorta, which gives rise to an aberrant subclavian artery. Kommerell diverticulum is usually asymptomatic, but can also be associated with symptoms due to compression of the esophagus or trachea, and can rarely be fatal due to dissection or rupture of the diverticulum.

Authors: Sohn Sueen , Koh In Jun , Kim Man Soo , In Yong
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this study was to determine whether direct visualization of adjustable-loop cortical suspensory button deployment onto the lateral femur increases the cortical contact rate of the button, thereby improving clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Sixty-five single-bundle anteromedial portal ACL reconstructions using an adjustable-loop button were retrospectively divided into 2 groups according to use of the blind pulling technique (control group; 32 patients) or the direct visualization technique (visualization group; 33 patients) when confirming deployment of the button. Cortical contact rate of the button on immediate and 2-year postoperative radiographs, knee stability measured using a KT-1000 arthrometer, and functional scores (Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee score) at 2 years postoperative were compared between the groups. There was no significant difference in femoral cortical contact rate between the groups immediately (56% control group vs 55% visualization group;
P
=1.000) and at 2 years postoperative (78% control group vs 82% visualization group;
P
=.764). At 2 years postoperative, there was no difference between the groups regarding knee stability (1.3±0.9 mm vs 1.5±0.8 mm, respectively;
P
=.404), Lysholm score (
P
=.436), and International Knee Documentation Committee score (
P
=.507). Confirmation of adjustable-loop button deployment under direct visualization during anteromedial portal ACL reconstruction neither increased cortical contact rate nor improved clinical outcomes. [

Traumatic lower-extremity amputations often result in complications and surgical revisions. The authors report the in-hospital morbidity and mortality of traumatic lower-extremity amputations at a metropolitan level I trauma center for a large rural region and compare below-knee (BK) vs higher-level amputation complications. They retrospectively reviewed 168 adult patients during a 10-year period (2005 to 2015) who had a traumatic injury to the lower extremity that required an amputation. Main outcome measurements included amputation level, complication rates, intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates, length of stay, total trips to the operating room (OR), and Injury Severity Score (ISS). A total of 95 patients had through-knee/above-knee (TK/AK) amputations, and 73 patients had BK amputations. The majority of injuries occurred in the non-urban setting. The TK/AK group had higher ICU admission rates (76% vs 35%,
P
<.0001), longer overall hospital length of stay (22.0 vs 15.5 days,
P
=.01), more total OR trips (6.5 vs 5.0,
P
=.04), and higher ISS (17.0 vs 11.5,
P
<.0001). A complication was experienced by 64% of all patients during the initial hospitalization. The TK/AK group had higher complication rates than the BK group, including wound infection, pulmonary embolus, rhabdomyolysis, compartment syndrome, and death. Patients with TK/AK traumatic amputations have a greater burden of injury with higher complication rates, increased ICU admissions, increased length of stay, and increased ISS and require more return trips to the OR compared with patients with BK amputations.

Efficient fully CCA-secure predicate encryptions from pair encodings
Authors: Nandi Mridul , Pandit Tapas
Published: August 2020

Attrapadung (Eurocrypt 2014) proposed a generic framework for fully (adaptively) CPA-secure predicate encryption (PE) based on a new primitive, called pair encodings. Following the CCA conversions of Yamada et al. (PKC 2011, 2012) and Nandi et al. (ePrint Archive: 2015/457, AAECC 2018), one can have CCA-secure PE from CPA-secure PE if the primitive PE has either verifiability or delegation. These traditional approaches degrade the performance of the resultant CCA-secure PE scheme as compared to the primitive CPA-secure PE. As an alternative, we provide a direct fully secure CCA-construction of PE from the pair encoding scheme. This costs an extra computation of group element in encryption, three extra pairing computations and one re-randomization of key in decryption as compared to the CPA-construction of Attrapadung.

Recently, Blömer et al. (CT-RSA 2016) proposed a direct CCA-secure construction of predicate encryptions from pair encodings. Although they did not use the aforementioned traditional approaches, a sort of verifiability checking is still involved in the CCA-decryption. The number of pairing computations for this checking is nearly equal to the number of paring computations in CPA-decryption. Therefore, the performance of our direct CCA-secure PE is far better than Blömer et al.
Optimization of wide-field second-harmonic generation microscopy for fast imaging of large sample areas in biological tissues

Published: August 2020

Second-harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is a label-free imaging method that can be used to visualize the detailed arrangement of collagen structures in biological tissues. Here, we sought to optimize the speed of microscopic SHG image acquisition of macroscopic fixed tissue sample areas by employing the wide-field imaging with a high power and medium, 1 MHz pulse repetition frequency laser in combination with a mechanical sample scanning. Unlike in the conventional laser-scanning microscopy, the optimum of the wide-field acquisition entails an interplay between the size of the illuminated area and the intensity of the generated signal. We delineate quantitative procedures to set the image parameters for the maximum speed of the tiled image acquisition, and also describe the possible optimization of the laser parameters for further enhancement of the speed of acquisition.

Published: August 2020

This paper presents a study of the photoluminescence properties of hybrid perovskite films deposited on titanium and magnesium zinc oxide films, as electron transport layers, using the spin-coating technique. The subject of the investigation was continuous wave photoluminescence versus temperature, excitation power and transient photoluminescence. Moreover, the paper discusses possible carrier recombination mechanisms. Complex temporal decay was approximated through the use of several models, but only the four-exponent model and the model using the sum of two hyperbolic functions provided a good agreement with the experimental data. The first attempt to replace titanium dioxide with magnesium zinc oxide in conjunction with the perovskite layer showed improved optical properties such as a weaker non-radiative recombination process and a longer decay time constant.

Published: August 2020

This study aimed to evaluate a lie-detection system by nonlinear analysis of electrooculography (EOG) signals in the polygraph test. The physiological signals such as photoplethysmography signal, electrodermal response, respiratory changes as well as EOG signal were recorded based on a Control Question Test (CQT). Three psychophysiological signals were evaluated based on the extracted features in the seven-position numerical scoring. The dynamics of EOG signals in subjects that had a total negative score were analyzed by recurrence quantification analysis (RQA). The six values of RQA were calculated to analyze the EOG signals in relevant questions compared to other questions. A one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons was performed to evaluate the extracted variables in different questions. Eleven subjects had a total score of [Formula: see text]2 and less, so the EOG signals of these subjects were evaluated. Recurrence plots (RPs) of EOG signals showed clear differences in the two types of questions. The recurrence quantification analysis of vertical EOG signal indicated that [Formula: see text] and determinism (DET) values decreased significantly for relevant questions compared to other questions. Moreover, a significant decrease was observed in all RQA parameters except RR for the horizontal EOG signal. The differences of EOG signals in relevant questions observed using RPs and RQA were possibly related to the underlying changes in rapid eye movement due to the stress. The results of this study illustrate that the RQA technique is well suited to analyze the EOG signals in the detection of deception.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT SYSTEM FOR SKIN DISEASES CLASSIFICATION
Authors: Mohammed Kamel. K. , Afify Heba M. , Hassanien Aboul Ella
Published: August 2020

In this paper, an artificial intelligent technique is proposed for skin disease detection and classification. The suggested method comprises four stages, including segmentation, extraction of textural features, and classification. The stretch-based enhanced algorithm has been adapted for image enhancement. Then the method of an active contour is used for segmentation to determine the skin lesion in tissue. Textural features are obtained from the segmented skin lesion. As several numbers of the features can affect the classification precision, ideal feature selection is made to exclude features that are less informative and unnecessary. The feature selection is adjusted with a regularized random forest. Finally, the classification algorithms by support vector machine and a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) are implemented. The dataset consists of 400 dermoscopic images in total divided into 200 benign and 200 malignant skin diseases extracted from the dermoscopic images PH2 database. The result of detecting and classifying the dermoscopic images on these images yielded an accuracy of 99.7%, a sensitivity of 99.4%, and a specificity of 100% by BPNN. The experiential results confirmed that the BPNN classifier is best rather than an SVM classifier for skin disease images. This proposed model will be advanced to support the skin image processing techniques that provided a more accurate diagnosis and rapid treatment plan.

This article provides an update of a lighthouse heritage experiential education project conducted by the Run Run Shaw Library, City University of Hong Kong. This project initiative aims to encourage students to conduct research by leveraging digital technology and archival collections, and hence connect themselves with the communities. The research team followed the six-step ‘forensic investigation' to continue its mission of 3D restoration of the lost Xiyu Pagoda Lighthouse in Xiyu Island, Penghu, Taiwan. A new line of inquiry regarding the economic behaviour of the pagoda lighthouse was also extended during the course of clarifying the obscured text of the evidence collected. Beyond demonstrating how technology and humanities are intertwined, the aim of this article is to illustrate how librarians may actively disseminate knowledge through connecting students with archival collections.

Published: August 2020

As buildings become more complex, smarter, interconnected, and self-reporting, can technologies be used to the advantage of the end-user and society? This study looks to determine if implementing big data can improve sustainability and increase efficiency in facilities management. Big data, the internet of things (IoT), their application in the construction industry, connection to sustainability, and impact on facilities management are researched. The research employs a mixed-methods approach with critical literature review, primary qualitative research by interviews, and quantitative data research by questionnaire with assessment through mind mapping and SPSS statistical analysis. Key findings identify an industry concept of big data, the IoT, BIM as a primary data contributor on AEC projects, with technology being most assistive to inception and design phases and improving decision making. Implications for industry arise from unrelated usage and misunderstanding of terminology. The study identifies space for further research into the topic.
The Post-Occupancy Digital Twin
Authors: Kirwan Barry , Rogers Jonathan
Published: August 2020

Through the application of building information modelling (BIM), the construction industry can now develop digital representations of physical assets. By combining BIM with digital technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), an opportunity is created to link real-time data to digital representations, resulting in the creation of digital twins (DT). A major aspect in the creation of DT involves the ongoing relationship between physical and digital versions of assets through interlinked sensors, generating an opportunity to analyse the performance of the asset and its occupants. The aim of this report was to further understand the effects of implementing these technologies, resulting in the digitalisation of the construction industry. A literature review was undertaken, along with a focused interview questionnaire and an online survey. Results showed that although there was an awareness of the importance of BIM and digital technology within the construction industry, the number of projects implementing these technologies and procedures were low.

Published: August 2020

The calculations of life cycle costs (LCC) and whole life costs (WLC) are important tools in the life cycle of a project. The aim of this research is to examine life cycle costing, whole life costing, and the possible advantages and disadvantages to their introduction and use. A qualitative methodology encompassing an in-depth literature review, interviews, and qualitative analysis using mind mapping software, this research is important as it can add to the industry's understanding of the design process. It highlights reasons for the success or failure of a construction project, in terms of sustainability at the design stage. Results indicate that the researched topics had many advantages but also had inherent disadvantages. It is found that the potential advantages outweighed disadvantages, but uptake within industry is still slow and that better promotion and their benefits to sustainability, the environment, society, and the industry are required.
