A Systematic Review of Traffic Incident Detection Algorithms
Authors: ElSahly Osama , Abdelfatah Akmal
Published: November 2022

Traffic incidents have negative impacts on traffic flow and the gross domestic product of most countries. In addition, they may result in fatalities and injuries. Thus, efficient incident detection systems have a vital role in restoring normal traffic conditions on the roads and saving lives and properties. Researchers have realized the importance of Automatic Incident Detection (AID) systems and conducted several studies to develop AID systems to quickly detect traffic incidents with an acceptable performance level. An incident detection system mainly consists of two modules: a data collection module and a data processing module. The performance of AID systems is assessed using three performance measures; Detection Rate (DR), False Alarm Rate (FAR) and Mean Time to Detect (MTTD). Based on data processing and incident detection algorithms, AID can be categorized into four categories: comparative, statistical, artificial intelligence-based and video–image processing algorithms. The aim of this paper is to investigate and summarize the existing AID systems by assessing their performance, strengths, limitations and their corresponding data collection and data processing techniques. This is useful in highlighting the shortcomings of these systems and providing potential solutions that future research should focus on. The literature is sought through an extensive review of the existing refereed publications using the Google Scholar search engine and Scopus database. The methodology adopted for this research is a systematic literature review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This study can serve as a reference for researchers who are interested in developing new AID systems.

Published: November 2022

The Indian diet is becoming westernized with a potential threat to human health. This ecological study aimed at analyzing the nutritional transition in India during the 1990–2019 period within the framework of the newly developed 3V index, considering the degree of processing starting with industrially processed foods (IPFs, i.e., the Real/’Vrai’ metric 1), plant/animal calorie ratio (i.e., the Vegetal metric 2), and diversity of food intake (i.e., the Varied metric 3). Total and food group (n = 14) caloric intakes, percentages of animal and IPF calories, adequacy to the Indian Recommended Dietary Allowances, and prevalence of chronic diseases were retrieved from web databases (e.g., OECD.Stats, Our World in Data and FAO-STAT) and Indian food composition table. The total calorie intake increased by 31% over thirty years, being mainly linked to increased consumption of dairy products and IPF, but still remains below the average recommended intake in 2019. The IPF and animal calorie shares increased from 3.6 to 11.6% and 15.1 to 24.3%, respectively, while micronutrient intakes improved in 2019. In the same time, prevalence of overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease mortality increased. In conclusion, the evolution of the Indian diet deviates from metrics 1 and 2 and improves in metric 3, which may not be a sufficient metric in terms of the alleviation of chronic diseases. Therefore, while improving food diversity and replacing refined with wholegrain cereals, Indians should also curb increasing their consumption of IPF and animal calories.

Agroforestry integrates woody perennials with arable crops, livestock, or fodder in the same piece of land, promoting the more efficient utilization of resources as compared to monocropping via the structural and functional diversification of components. This integration of trees provides various soil-related ecological services such as fertility enhancements and improvements in soil physical, biological, and chemical properties, along with food, wood, and fodder. By providing a particular habitat, refugia for epigenic organisms, microclimate heterogeneity, buffering action, soil moisture, and humidity, agroforestry can enhance biodiversity more than monocropping. Various studies confirmed the internal restoration potential of agroforestry. Agroforestry reduces runoff, intercepts rainfall, and binds soil particles together, helping in erosion control. This trade-off between various non-cash ecological services and crop production is not a serious constraint in the integration of trees on the farmland and also provides other important co-benefits for practitioners. Tree-based systems increase livelihoods, yields, and resilience in agriculture, thereby ensuring nutrition and food security. Agroforestry can be a cost-effective and climate-smart farming practice, which will help to cope with the climate-related extremities of dryland areas cultivated by smallholders through diversifying food, improving and protecting soil, and reducing wind erosion. This review highlighted the role of agroforestry in soil improvements, microclimate amelioration, and improvements in productivity through agroforestry, particularly in semi-arid and degraded areas under careful consideration of management practices.

Published: November 2022

Grassland biomass is a significant parameter for measuring grassland productivity and the ability to sequester carbon. Estimating desert grassland biomass using the best remote sensing inversion model is essential for understanding grassland carbon stocks in arid and semi-arid regions. The present study constructed an optimal inversion model of desert grassland biomass based on actual biomass measurement data and various remote-sensing product data. This model was used to analyze the spatiotemporal variation in desert grassland biomass and climate factor correlation in Xinjiang from 2000 to 2019. The results showed that (1) among the established inversion models of desert grasslands aboveground biomass (AGB), the exponential function model with the normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) as the independent variable was the best. Furthermore, (2) the NDVI of desert grasslands in Xinjiang showed a highly significant increasing trend from 2000 to 2019 with a spatially concentrated distribution in the north and a more dispersed distribution in the south. In addition, (3) the average AGB value was 52.35 g·m−2 in Xinjiang from 2000 to 2019 and showed a spatial distribution with low values in the southeast and high values in the northwest. Moreover, (4) the low fluctuation in the coefficient of desert grassland variation accounted for 65.26% of overall AGB fluctuation (<0.10) from 2000 to 2019. Desert grassland AGB in most areas (88.65%) showed a significant increase over the last 20 years. Lastly, (5) the correlation between desert grassland precipitation and AGB was stronger than that between temperature and AGB from 2000 to 2019. This study provides a scientific basis and technical support for grassland livestock management and carbon storage assessments in Xinjiang.

Published: November 2022

Production water represents a major sustainability challenge for oil and gas industries, which is why various strategies have emerged globally to encourage its reuse in proactive projects. One of the most recognized strategies has been developed in the Omani desert where artificial wetlands were designed to physically and biologically treat production water. The present study proposes to adapt this strategy to a Colombian context to further study the sustainability of production water reuse. The methodology of this study consists of three phases: evaluate in-field production water through the characterization of irrigation water, identify and prioritize the variables of said strategy, and propose an adequate soil irrigation strategy for a Colombian field. An expert matrix and multicriteria analysis are used to identify the level of interaction among the variables presented, according to the criteria of experts in the field of sustainable production water management. Water quality was ranked by the experts as the most important single variable. On a scale of 1–5, the variables with the highest level of interaction (2.8) are water quality and the type of treatment seedlings, and the variables with the lowest level of interaction (1.3) are additional water treatment systems and final water use. These results have led to the formation of a hierarchy of variables according to impact, which has been used to create a triple bottom line diagram and demonstrate the feasibility of implementing the Omani strategy in Colombia.

Published: November 2022

The Yangshuo Section of the Lijiang River Basin (YS of LRB) is the essence of the Guilin landscape in China. The typical karst landforms and changing topography form a unique forest landscape in YS of LRB. In order to reveal the visual quality of itse forest landscape, this research used GIS spatial analysis technology combined with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the assessment factors were leveled and assigned, and some abstract assessment indicators in the visual quality assessment were quantified. Three primary indicators of forest landscape visual quality (FLVQ) assessment in YS of LRB, including Scenic Quality (SQ), Visual Sensitivity (VS), and Visual Absorption Capability (VAC), are proposed. Visual assessment units are divided based on the watershed, and a process and framework for the comprehensive assessment of FLVQ was established at the watershed scale. The results show that the FLVQ in YS of LRB is generally at a low level. The area percentage of FLVQ at high (13′&11′), medium (9′) and low (7′&5′) levels are 10.95%, 29.67% and 59.38%, respectively. The comprehensive score of FLVQ in the karst area is slightly lower than that in the non-karst area, but the karst area of the units with the highest FLVQ accounts for 99.58% of the FLVQ of karst areas along the Lijiang River distributed in the Lijiang River Scenic Area, greater than that of any other areas. The FLVQ in regions with high vegetation coverage and large topographic changes is relatively higher. Slope, relief amplitude, and vegetation richness directly affect the visual quality of forest landscape. Under the influence of local scenic area protection policies and relatively stable natural climate, the FLVQ in YS of LRB has maintained a stable level in the past 20 years. The areas with low FLVQ are mainly cultivated land and construction land, which have low vegetation coverage and no obvious change in terrain. Based on the comprehensive assessment results of FLVQ in YS of LRB, the management goals and future development suitability of forest landscape is discussed. This research proposes appropriate construction and management strategies for forest landscape structures. The results are helpful for providing a scientific research basis for forest landscape resource conservation, landscape site selection, and forest ecotourism development in the Karst landscape area. The impact of human disturbance on the forest landscape fragmentation and the growth characteristics of forests under different landforms are the focus of future FLVQ research on similar areas.

As one of the most prevalent estrogenic mycotoxins in cereals and animal feed, zearalenone (ZEN) can cause serious reproductive disorders. ZEN control in food and feed commodities has been an imperative area of research. In this study, 87 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from pickles and their ZEN (5 mg/L) removal abilities ranged from 0% to 68.4%. Then, five strains with potent ZEN removal ability (>50%) were identified: Lactobacillus plantarum 22, L. plantarum 37, L. plantarum 47, L. paracasei 85, and L. buchneri 93. Under optimization conditions (48 h, pH 4.0, 37 °C, and 5 mg/L), the highest ZEN removal abilities of L. paracasei 85 and L. buchneri 93 reached 77.7% and 72.8%, respectively. Moreover, the two lactic acid bacteria decreased the toxicity of ZEN, because the levels of β-zearalenol (β-ZOL) transformed from ZEN were more than two-fold higher than α-zearalenol (α-ZOL). Additionally, cell free supernatant and pellet biotransformation of ZEN to α-ZOL and β-ZOL in LAB were detected for the first time. Furthermore, chemical and enzymatical treatments combined with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that exopolysaccharides, proteins, and lipids on the cell wall could bond to ZEN through hydrophobic interactions. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that cell structure damage occurred during the ZEN clearance to L. buchneri 93, but it did not with L. paracasei 85. In addition, various organic acids, alcohols, and esters of the two LAB participated in ZEN removal. Hence, L. paracasei 85 and L. buchneri 93 can be considered as potential detoxification agents for ZEN removal for food and feedstuff.

Published: November 2022

Infectious diseases are a major contributor to human suffering and the associated socioeconomic burden worldwide. A better understanding of human pathogen-host interactions is a prerequisite for the development of treatment strategies aimed at combatting human pathogen-induced diseases. Model systems that faithfully recapitulate the pathogen-host interactions in humans are critical to gain meaningful insight. Unfortunately, such model systems are not yet available for a number of pathogens. The strict tropism of the hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses for the human liver has made it difficult to study their virus-host interactions during the natural history of these infections. In this case, surplus liver biopsy tissue donated by patients provides an opportunity to obtain a snapshot of the phenomenological and molecular aspects of the human liver of chronically HCV or HBV-infected patients. In this review, we will briefly summarize our own efforts over the years to advance our knowledge of the virus-host interactions during the natural history of chronic HCV and HBV infection.
Oral Electrolyte and Water Supplementation in Horses
Authors: Lindinger Michael Ivan
Published: November 2022

Horses that sweat for prolonged periods lose considerable amounts of water and electrolytes. Maintenance of hydration and prevention of dehydration requires that water and electrolytes are replaced. Dehydration is common in equine disciplines and can be avoided, thus promoting equine wellness, improved performance and enhanced horse and rider safety. Significant dehydration occurs through exercise or transport lasting one hour or more. Oral electrolyte supplementation is an effective strategy to replace water and electrolytes lost through sweating. The stomach and small intestine serve as a reservoir for uptake of water and electrolytes consumed 1 to 2 h prior to exercise and transport. The small intestine is the primary site of very rapid absorption of ions and water. Water and ions absorbed in the small intestine are taken up by muscles, and also transported via the blood to the skin where they serve to replace or augment the losses of water and ions in the body. Effective electrolyte supplements are designed to replace the proportions of ions lost through sweating; failure to do so can result in electrolyte imbalance. Adequate water must be consumed with electrolytes so as to maintain solution osmolality less than that of body fluids in order to promote gastric emptying and intestinal absorption. The electrolyte supplement should taste good, and horses should be trained to drink the solution voluntarily prior to and during transport, and prior to and after exercise.

Published: November 2022

Population growth has reduced the available freshwater resources and increased water pollution, leading to a severe global freshwater crisis. The decontamination and reuse of wastewater is often proposed as a solution for water scarcity worldwide. Membrane technology is a promising solution to the problems currently facing the water and wastewater treatment industry. However, another problem is the high energy costs required to operate systems which use membranes for water treatment. In addition, membranes need to be replaced frequently due to fouling and biofouling, which negatively affect water flow through the membranes. To address these problems, the researchers proposed membrane modification as a solution. One of the exciting applications of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) is that they can be used to modify the surface of membranes to yield various properties. Positive feedback was reported on plasmonic-modified membranes as means of wastewater treatment. However, a fundamental gap exists in studies of plasmonic membranes’ performance and applications. Given the importance of membrane technology for water and wastewater treatment, this paper reviews recent advances in the development of plasmonic chemically modified bioactive membranes and provides a perspective for future researchers interested in investigating modified membranes.

Published: November 2022

Over the last few decades, and more prominently currently, many countries have launched and reinforced campaigns to reduce CO2 emissions from all human activities and, in the area of energy, promote energy generating technologies from low carbon, renewable sources, especially wind and solar. In recent years, this promotion of renewables can be seen in statistics as well as an extraordinary increase in plants using renewable sources. There is more activity surrounding the use of small devices installed close to consumers, such as small wind turbines (SWT). In cities, the best places to install SWT are tall buildings. The Institute of Energy and Environment (IEE-USP) has installed a 1.8 kW SWT on the University of São Paulo campus in São Paulo, Brazil. Even with low-magnitude winds at the site, the SWT installation was carried out to serve as a didactic apparatus and demonstration initiative of wind energy generation connected directly to the University’s electric grid, which already has other embedded renewable sources installed, namely photovoltaic and biogas plants. The turbine was placed on the roof of the existing High Voltage Laboratory building, leading to an operating height of 35 m. This paper presents previous local wind data measurements using a Lidar system, annual energy yield estimation calculations, and measurements, also bringing all implementation details. It reports and analyzes the operation and energy production data from three full operational years, from 2018 to 2020, discussing and concluding with further improvements of SWT from technical and economic aspects.

Published: November 2022

AbstractClean water is a vital need of living things, especially for human beings who live spread throughout the earth's surface both in urban and rural areas. This study aims to determine the discharge and the condition of the existing water sources used by SPAM, STL Ulu Terawas Sub-district, to find out the elevation of each pipe junction of the STL Ulu Terawas SPAM pipe. Provide the most efficient alternative network in meeting the needs of the community. The method of analyzing the water distribution network in the drinking water supply system in STL Ulu Terawas District, Kabupaten Musi Rawas using EPANET 2.0 software. The EPANET simulation results show that the water discharge value at the SPAM STL Ulu Terawas Musi Rawas Regency is getting lower as the water pressure decreases at junction 4 (four) the water discharge is 30 liters/second until junction 13 (thirteen) the water discharge is 15 liters/second. The EPANET simulation results show that the elevation conditions at the SPAM STL Ulu Terawas Musi Rawas Regency are too high from the water source, such as at junction 2 (two) the elevation is 51 meters, while the elevation at junction 10 (ten) elevation is 62 meters. That's what causes the water discharge to get further and lower its speed. The EPANET simulation results show that the water distribution network of SPAM STL Ulu Terawas has failed, such as at junction 4 (four) the water discharge is 30 liters/second while junction 13 (thirteen) water discharge is 15 liters/second, which means it can be explained that the water distribution network At SPAM STL Ulu Terawas Kabupatn Musi Rawas, the water has not been able to drain properly.

Pembangunan jalan secara umum menggunakan perkerasan lentur atau kaku yang kedap air. Untuk mencegah masalah kerusakan jalan yang disebabkan oleh genangan air, saat ini banyak cara baru untuk mengendalikan aliran air pada permukaan perkerasan. Salah satu altrnatif dalam pengendalian air pada permukaan perkerasan adalah dengan menggunakan beton berongga. Dalam hal ini penggunaan beton berongga adalah sebagai bahu jalan yang berfungsi sebagai drainase sehingga dapat meneruskan aliran air ke dalam tanah, diharapkan beton berongga ini dapat mencegah berkurangnya kekuatan perkerasan utama yang disebabkan oleh genangan air, serta dapat meningkatkan pembangunan infrastruktur jalan yang ramah lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan Untuk mengetahui pengaruh bentuk agregat dalam campuran beton berongga terhadap nilai porositas, permeabilitas dan kuat tekan yang akan di aplikasikan pada taman dan jalur pejalan kaki. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimen. Agregat yang digunakan terdiri dari batu pecah dan batu tidak pecah variasi 0,5-1 cm, 1-2 cm, dan 2-3 cm dengan  faktor air semen (FAS) 0,40. Pengujian dilakukan pada umur perawatan basah 28 hari. Berdasarkan penelitian yang tlah dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa dari variasi agregat yang digunakan campuran optimal diperoleh pada campuran dengan variasi 0,5-1 cm dan 1-2 cm yang menghasilkan nilai kemampuan merembeskan air yang tinggi.

Bafa gölünde yapılan çalışmada alınan kor örneğinde 210Pb tekniği ile sediment yaş tayini yapılmıştır. Sediment yaş tayini için akının sabit kabul edildiği sucul ortamlarda kullanılan sabit sedimentasyon hızı modeli (CRS, Constant Rate Sedimentation) ve sediment akümülasyon hızının 210Pb akısını etkilemediği diğer bir yaş tayin yöntemi olan sabit akı (CF, Constant Flux) modelleri kullanımıştır. Kor örneğinden belli aralıklar ile alınan sediment örneklerinde Pb, Cd, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni ve Cr ağır metallerinin konsantrasyonları yıllara göre saptanmıştır. Tarihleme çalışması ve ağırmetal sonuçları eşleştirildiğinde gölü besleyen büyük menderes üzerindeki sanayileşme ve tarımsal değişimlerin göl sedimenti üzerindeki etkisi saptanmıştır. 1960 yıllarında sanayi ve tekstil sektörlerinde başlayan kalkınma ve gelişme adımları ile birlikte örnekleme havzasında yapılan ağır metal birikimlerinin değişim gösterdiği saptanmıştır.

This article describes a new method for identifying the impact of distance learning during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the teaching and learning environment and for developing teachers’ technical skills and attitudes toward distance learning. It is based on a relevant questionnaire filled in by 453 teachers in the Jordanian capital of Amman during the second semester of 2019/2020. Using the two parts of the questionnaire, one of 22 items on the effectiveness of distance learning and one of 15 items on the teachers’ attitudes toward distance learning, the authors have found that distance learning was moderately effective and that the teachers’ attitudes toward distance learning were positive. More particularly, statistically significant differences at a level of α ≤ 0.05 existed between the teachers’ mean scores on the distance learning scale in favor of humanities (t = 13.19). From our findings, we propose establishing a comprehensive assessment system for the distance learning program to monitor its implementation in computer labs; assisting teachers in using the program; implementing tutorials and training lessons for teachers to share their experiences; and providing tablets, computers, or smartphones to students from vulnerable social groups.
