Data Augmentation of Backscatter X-ray Images for Deep Learning-Based Automatic Cargo Inspection
Authors: Cho Hyunwoo , Park Haesol , Kim Ig-Jae , Cho Junghyun
Published: November 2021

Custom inspection using X-ray imaging is a very promising application of modern pattern recognition technology. However, the lack of data or renewal of tariff items makes the application of such technology difficult. In this paper, we present a data augmentation technique based on a new image-to-image translation method to deal with these difficulties. Unlike the conventional methods that convert a semantic label image into a realistic image, the proposed method takes a texture map with a special modification as an additional input of a generative adversarial network to reproduce domain-specific characteristics, such as background clutter or sensor-specific noise patterns. The proposed method was validated by applying it to backscatter X-ray (BSX) vehicle data augmentation. The Fréchet inception distance (FID) of the result indicates the visual quality of the translated image was significantly improved from the baseline when the texture parameters were used. Additionally, in terms of data augmentation, the experimental results of classification, segmentation, and detection show that the use of the translated image data, along with the real data consistently, improved the performance of the trained models. Our findings show that detailed depiction of the texture in translated images is crucial for data augmentation. Considering the comparatively few studies that have examined custom inspections of container scale goods, such as cars, we believe that this study will facilitate research on the automation of container screening, and the security of aviation and ports.
Prediction-Correction Techniques to Support Sensor Interoperability in Industry 4.0 Systems
Authors: Bordel Borja , Alcarria Ramón , Robles Tomás
Published: November 2021

Industry 4.0 is envisioned to transform the entire economical ecosystem by the inclusion of new paradigms, such as cyber-physical systems or artificial intelligence, into the production systems and solutions. One of the main benefits of this revolution is the increase in the production systems’ efficiency, thanks to real-time algorithms and automatic decision-making mechanisms. However, at the software level, these innovative algorithms are very sensitive to the quality of received data. Common malfunctions in sensor nodes, such as delays, numerical errors, corrupted data or inactivity periods, may cause a critical problem if an inadequate decision is made based on those data. Many systems remove this risk by seamlessly integrating the sensor nodes and the high-level components, but this situation substantially reduces the impact of the Industry 4.0 paradigm and increases its deployment cost. Therefore, new solutions that guarantee the interoperability of all sensors with the software elements in Industry 4.0 solutions are needed. In this paper, we propose a solution based on numerical algorithms following a predictor-corrector architecture. Using a combination of techniques, such as Lagrange polynomial and Hermite interpolation, data series may be adapted to the requirements of Industry 4.0 software algorithms. Series may be expanded, contracted or completed using predicted samples, which are later updated and corrected using the real information (if received). Results show the proposed solution works in real time, increases the quality of data series in a relevant way and reduces the error probability in Industry 4.0 systems.
A Sequential Handwriting Recognition Model Based on a Dynamically Configurable CRNN

Published: November 2021

Handwriting recognition refers to recognizing a handwritten input that includes character(s) or digit(s) based on an image. Because most applications of handwriting recognition in real life contain sequential text in various languages, there is a need to develop a dynamic handwriting recognition system. Inspired by the neuroevolutionary technique, this paper proposes a Dynamically Configurable Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (DC-CRNN) for the handwriting recognition sequence modeling task. The proposed DC-CRNN is based on the Salp Swarm Optimization Algorithm (SSA), which generates the optimal structure and hyperparameters for Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks (CRNNs). In addition, we investigate two types of encoding techniques used to translate the output of optimization to a CRNN recognizer. Finally, we proposed a novel hybridized SSA with Late Acceptance Hill-Climbing (LAHC) to improve the exploitation process. We conducted our experiments on two well-known datasets, IAM and IFN/ENIT, which include both the Arabic and English languages. The experimental results have shown that LAHC significantly improves the SSA search process. Therefore, the proposed DC-CRNN outperforms the handcrafted CRNN methods.
Language and Reasoning by Entropy Fractals
Authors: López De Luise Daniela
Published: November 2021

Like many other brain productions, language is a complex tool that helps individuals to communicate with each other. Many studies from computational linguistics aim to exhibit and understand the structures and content production. At present, a large list of contributions can describe and manage it with different levels of precision and applicability, but there is still a requirement for generative purposes. This paper is focused on stating the roots to understand language production from a combination of entropy and fractals. It is part of a larger work on seven rules that are intended to help build sentences automatically, in the context of dialogs with humans. As part of the scope of this paper, a set of dialogs are outlined and pre-processed. Three of the thermodynamic rules of language production are introduced and applied. Also, the communication implications and statistical evaluation are presented. From the results, a final analysis suggests that the exploration of fractals explanations of the entropy and entropy perspectives could provide a prospective insight for automatic sentence generation in natural language.
Manure Application Timing and Tillage Influence on Nutrient Loss from Snowmelt Runoff
Authors: Bhandari Ammar B. , Gelderman Ronald , German David , Todey Dennis
Published: November 2021

Winter manure application contributes substantial nutrient loss during snowmelt and influences water quality. The goal of this study is to develop best management practices (BMPs) for winter manure management. We compared nutrient concentrations in snowmelt runoff from three dates of feedlot solid beef manure application (November, January, and March) at 18 tons ha−1 on untilled and fall-tilled plots. The manure was applied at a single rate. Sixteen 4 m2 steel frames were installed in the fall to define individual plots. Treatments were randomly assigned so that each tillage area had two control plots, two that received manure during November, two in January, and two in March. Snowmelt runoff from each individual plot was collected in March and analyzed for runoff volume (RO), ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), total suspended solids (TSS), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), total phosphorus (TP), and total dissolved phosphorus (TDP). Snowmelt runoff concentrations and loads of NH4-N, TKN, TP, and TDP were significantly higher in runoff from manure application treatments compared to control. The concentration of NH4-N and loads of NH4-N and TDP were significantly (p = 0.05) greater (42%, 51%, and 47%, respectively) from untilled compared to fall-tilled plots. The November application significantly increased RO, NH4-N, and TDP concentrations and loads in the snowmelt runoff compared to January and March applications. Results showed that nutrient losses in snowmelt runoff were reduced from manure applications on snow compared to non-snow applications. The fall tillage before winter manure application decreased nutrient losses compared to untilled fields.
Subjective Perceptions and Their Characteristics of Middle School Students Regarding the Effectiveness of the “0th Period Physical Education Class” in South Korea: The Q Methodology Application
Authors: Jeon Wonjae , Kwon Goomyeung , Joung Kihong
Published: November 2021

The aim of this study is to explore the subjective perception types and characteristics of Korean middle school students regarding participation in the “0th period physical education class”, a class involving physical movement that takes place before the start of regular school classes in the morning. This goal was achieved by applying the Q methodology, which can categorize the subjective viewpoints of research participants. The selection of the final 25 Q-samples was done by composing the Q-population. Twenty middle school students were selected as the P-sample, and Q-sorting was performed on them. The PQ method program (version 2.35) was used to perform centroid factor analysis and varimax rotation. The study presented five types with a total variance of 87%. Types 1 to 5 (N = 4, 4, 4, 5, and 3) pertained to a potent means of enhancing lesson concentration and academic performance, efficient activities to improve physical ability and a healthy body image in adolescence, the motivating power behind a stable school life and sociability development, building an upright character and successful changes in daily life, and raising awareness of the importance of participating in sports and the importance of physical activity, with eigenvalues (EVs) of 3.89, 4.48, 3.96, 5.16, and 2.58, respectively, and explanatory variances of 0.10, 0.22, 0.13, 0.33, and 0.09, respectively. Moreover, consensus statements for each factor were demonstrated as being Q24 and Q25. The findings in this study supported the academic foundation for the official introduction and activation of “0th period physical education classes” in the Korean education community for the near future.

Published: November 2021

Uremic pruritus is a distressful complication of chronic kidney disease and results in impaired quality of life and higher mortality rates. Intravenous sodium thiosulfate has been reported to alleviate pruritus in hemodialysis patients. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the efficacy of intravenous sodium thiosulfate in patients with uremic pruritus. A systematic search of electronic databases up to June 2021 was conducted for randomized controlled trials that evaluated the clinical effects of sodium thiosulfate in the management of patients with uremic pruritus. Two reviewers selected eligible articles and evaluated the risk of bias; the results of pruritus assessment and uremic pruritus-related laboratory parameters in selected studies were analyzed. There are four trials published between 2018 and 2021, which include 222 participants. The sodium thiosulfate group displayed significant decrease in the pruritus score (standardized mean difference = −3.52, 95% confidence interval = −5.63 to −1.41, p = 0.001), without a significant increase in the adverse effects (risk ratio = 2.44, 95% confidence interval = 0.37 to 15.99, p = 0.35) compared to the control group. Administration of sodium thiosulfate is found to be a safe and efficacious complementary therapy in improving uremic pruritus in patients with chronic kidney disease.
The Youth Appeal of Far-Right Music Festivals
Authors: Nilan Pam
Published: November 2021

This article explores an important, yet infrequently explored, topic in youth studies: far-right festivals. Drawing upon contemporary international examples, this article suggests the powerful imagery of embodied militancy in far-right festivals may cut through to potential young recruits, especially young men, on a visceral and emotional level. They experience a strong sense of nationalist heritage, cultural belonging and radical political identity. Youth may be attracted to the far-right through festivals because they seem to be an exciting space to express resistance against the mainstream, including hatred for ethnic minorities. There is an active process of becoming that takes place. Through collectively lived experience, young people, especially young white men, are guided towards right-wing extremist membership. Such events offer not only a powerful face-to-face experience for youth, but later become a compelling digital recruitment tool, targeted at young people, when photos and videos of the festival are uploaded on social media.

DEVLET BAŞKANININ HALK TARAFINDAN SEÇİMİ YÖNTEMLERİ
Authors: TEKİN Abdurrahman
Published: November 2021

Birleşmiş Milletler tarafından tanınan ülkelerin 108’inde devlet başkanı doğrudan halk tarafından seçilerek göreve gelmektedir. Parlamenter sistemlerde dahi devlet başkanı seçiminin halka bırakılması eğiliminin başladığını söylemek mümkündür. Hatta bu durum, hükümet sistemleri bağlamında kalıplaşmış tasnif ve yargıların da yıkılmasını hızlandırmıştır. Devlet başkanlığı makamı Bosna istisna tutulursa tek bir kişiye tahsis edilen bir makam olduğu için uygulanan seçim sistemlerinin mantığı da oldukça yalındır: Mutlak veya basit çoğunluk ile en çok oyu alan aday ilk veya takip eden turda/turlarda seçilmektedir. “İlk başta bakıldığında” devlet başkanlığı seçiminde, milletvekili seçim sistemlerinde olduğu gibi seçim çevrelerinin büyüklüğü, seçim çevrelerinin coğrafi sınırlarının belirlenmesi, ulusal veya seçim çevresi barajı, oyların hesaplanmasında kullanılan metotlar gibi karmaşık unsurlar bulunmamaktadır. Ancak “detaylara inildiğinde” devlet başkanının seçiminde uygulanan zikredilen yalın yönteme ilaveten, oldukça farklı ve karmaşık yol ve yöntemlerin var olabildiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada tüm Dünya ülkelerindeki veriler incelenerek halk tarafından devlet başkanlarının hangi yöntemler ile seçildiği incelenmiş ve bir tasnif yapılmıştır. Uygulanan seçim sistemlerinin olumlu ve olumsuz yanları seçim sonuçları ile desteklenerek ortaya koyulmuştur.

Las fuentes documentales que se revisan en este trabajo son el reportaje a las FAR publicado por la revista Cristianismo y Revolución, la respuesta de un grupo de presos políticos del ERP y los “Aportes al proceso de confrontación de posiciones y polémica pública que abordamos con el E.R.P.”. Se analizan las distintas caracterizaciones del peronismo como experiencia popular, movimiento de liberación nacional y alianza de clases (FAR), o como una forma de bonapartismo y nacionalismo burgués (PRT-ERP).Palabras clave: Peronismo – Bonapartismo – Debate FAR-ERP – Organizaciones armadas.
La equiparación entre los derechos de vecino y de natural en España (Siglos XVII al XIX)
Authors: Salvatto Fabricio Gabriel
Published: November 2021

Consideramos que las nociones de vecindad y de naturaleza son fundamentales para comprender las formas que adquiere la representación política en la España peninsular del Antiguo Régimen, expresadas en la relación entre el rey y sus súbditos. La condición de súbdito y la vinculación a una dinastía otorgaban al sujeto su lugar en el cuerpo de la sociedad. En la literatura jurídica y política castellana,la categoría de súbditose vincula, coexiste y se superpone con otras de acuerdo con la corporación que lo integra. El vecino alcanza la plenitud de sus potencialidades políticas como miembro del municipio. Bajo Felipe V –a principios del siglo XVIII– se intentaron equiparar las condiciones de vecino y natural. Lo propio sucedería en las Cortes de Cádiz (1810-1812) al proponerse una ciudadanía anclada en estos derechos. Pero dicha equiparación entre vecino y natural no fue posible sino a mediados del siglo XIX.Palabras clave: Vecindad; Naturaleza;  España; Antiguo Régimen

Las elecciones legislativas del 2001. Entre el “voto bronca” y el final del gobierno de la Alianza
Authors: Zícari Julián
Published: November 2021

El presente trabajo intentará dar cuenta de las elecciones legislativas nacionales del año 2001 en la Argentina, buscando señalar que las mismas representaron un suceso inédito en el país a partir de las diversas formas en que actuó la ciudadanía en ellas. Ya que en estas elecciones no sólo se produjo el extraordinario fenómeno conocido como “voto bronca” –el cual se impuso en algunos de los principales distritos–, sino que además fueron uno de los elementos fundamentales para sellar el destino del gobierno de Fernando De la Rúa, quien apenas dos meses después de ellas debió presentar su renuncia a la presidencia. Para hacer esto, repasaremos los resultados electorales a nivel nacional, deteniéndonos en algunos distritos puntuales donde el “voto bronca” actuó con mayor fuerza, tratando de vislumbrar los problemas de su ambigüedad, así como las consecuencias políticas que produjo.Palabras clave: elecciones;  2001;  democracia;  voto bronca
Guerra Santa y Guerra Justa en el Cercano Oriente Antiguo (CA. 1600-600 A.C.)
Authors: Liverani Mario
Published: November 2021

En los reinos –y sobre todo en los denominados “imperios”– del Cercano Oriente antiguo la ampliación de las fronteras es un motivo ideológico constante. El significado ideológico reside en la contraposición de un territorio interno de carácter cósmico y un territorio externo de carácter caótico. Dados los propósitos de cumplimiento del orden cósmico, la guerra asume un carácter santo ya que es el instrumento de la justa sumisión de la periferia al reino central. Ampliando el territorio interno a costa del territorio externo, el soberano se inserta en la secuencia de los personajes heroicos que han contribuido al ordenamiento del mundo.Si bien el soberano legítimo inicia su acción bélica justa por mandato divino la guerra debe ser, asimismo, justa a nivel de evaluación humana, en el ámbito del sistema de valores civiles y jurídicos que están en curso en una determinada cultura.En este artículo se estudian aspectos que develan la lógica y la justificación de la guerra entre los estados del Cercano Oriente antiguo. Palabras clave: Cercano Oriente antiguo;  guerra;  legitimación
Elites y artesanos a través del pensamiento político intelectual de John Adams y Thomas Paine
Authors: De Donato Lozano Joaquina
Published: November 2021

La independencia de los Estados Unidos fue el resultado de un altisonante proceso culminado en 1776, donde lo que estaba en disputa no era simplemente una lucha contra la corona británica sino también una puja interna por decidir quién y cómo debía gobernarse una vez que la independencia fuese alcanzada. Todos los sectores sociales involucrados volcaron en el proceso revolucionario intereses y aspiraciones, y actuaron con el deliberado propósito de modificar su situación presente. Para las élites coloniales, la independencia debía tratarse de un “ordenado” traspaso de mando entre clases gobernantes. Para los artesanos, significaba la ampliación de derechos políticos y una distribución económica más equitativa. El presente trabajo se propone analizar esta dinámica por medio de los panfletos que dos importantes figuras del proceso revolucionario, John Adams y Thomas Paine, publicaron en 1776. Consideramos que sus escritos constituyen una ventana de oportunidad hacia lo que la independencia significó para las clases sociales en disputa. Y al mismo tiempo, nos sugieren la posibilidad de reconstruir la herencia cultural a partir de la cual elites y artesanos interpretaron la independencia y construyeron su accionar.

Mujeres latinoamericanas revolucionarias. Biografías, escritura testimonial y militancia
Authors: Viano Cristina
Published: November 2021

La historiografía latinoamericana sensible a la dimensión de género en la configuración de la vida social pasada y presente, aún con desiguales intensidades, se ha preocupado por estudiar las experiencias de distintos colectivos de mujeres y en particular a aquellas que alimentaron las distintas organizaciones revolucionarias latinoamericanas desde los años sesentas. En el seno de la historiografía argentina ello adquirió particular énfasis, al punto de constituirse en uno de los campos de fuerza que ha otorgado fuerte identidad a los estudios donde se intersectan género e Historia Reciente; poniendo en acto que el género no es un elemento subsidiario del análisis sino un componente central en las reconstrucciones históricas (D´Antonio y Viano. 2018). Esa lente le permitió a un conjunto amplio de trabajos no solamente visibilizar a las mujeres, saber quiénes eran, de donde venían y cómo contribuyeron a gestar o cómo y porque llegaron a las organizaciones revolucionarias y qué lugares ocuparon, sino también interrogarse sobre el tipo de vínculos que se desarrollaron al interior de los espacios revolucionarios entre mujeres y varones, los modos e intensidades en que se realizaron críticas, cuestionamientos y búsquedas distintas de lo instituido, reproducido y naturalizado, aunque ello no alcanzase su cristalización en nuevas concepciones y modos de relacionamiento.
apófisis estiloides elongada: Síndrome de Eagle.
Authors: Menichini María Laura , Marini Jerónimo , Menichini Reynaldo
Published: November 2021

El síndrome de Eagle es una patología poco frecuente causada por un proceso estilohioideo elongado osificado. La estiloides elongada es habitualmente asintomática. Se diagnostica por su presentación clínica y se confirma por imágenes. La estiloides está elongada cuando mide más de 30 mm. Pero sin correlación entre el largo con la intensidad de la clínica. La correlación entre el largo de la estiloides y los síntomas es escasa o nula. El síndrome fue descripto originalmente como dolor tonsilar/facial post amigdalectomía. Desde entonces aparecieron comunicaciones de otras patologías asociadas a la elongación del proceso estiloideo como dolor dental, disección carotídea, estenosis de la vena yugular interna, signo de Horner aislado o acompañado, muerte súbita, aneurismas carotídeos, neuralgia trigeminal de 3ª rama, hemiatrofia lingual y fasciculaciones y otros. Discutimos los diagnósticos imagenológicos y tratamientos, especialmente quirúrgicos y enfatizamos el escaso alerta para incluir esta patología entre los diagnósticos zonales.

Published: November 2021

En este estudio se quiso demostrar el impacto de la Insuficiencia Cardiaca en pacientes que presentaron ACV isquémico, en la recuperación funcional y pronóstico durante la internación, tanto en pacientes con diagnóstico clínico de Insuficiencia Cardíaca como en pacientes asintomáticos, relacionando disfunción ventricular sistólica y diastólica. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, observacional. Se evaluaron 112 pacientes con ACV isquémico, se dividieron en tres grupos, según la función ventricular izquierda: pacientes con Función Ventricular Normal, pacientes con Función Sistólica Alterada y pacientes con Función Diastólica Alterada. Se comparó en cada grupo la escala NIHSS (al ingreso, 48 hs y alta), el pronóstico funcional, complicaciones neurológicas y extra neurológicas. El grupo con Función Sistólica Alterada se relacionó con mayor incidencia de complicaciones clínicas y neurológicas, también en el grupo con Función Diastólica Alterada, pero de menor proporción. En ambos grupos se observó mayor mortalidad, con respecto a pacientes con Función Ventricular Normal. El grupo de pacientes con Función Sistólica Alterada presentó peor pronóstico funcional, con un empeoramiento durante la internación. Presentaron peor pronóstico de enfermedad inicial y de la recuperación evaluada a corto plazo, durante la internación.  El grupo de pacientes con Función Diastólica Alterada presentó un mal pronóstico funcional aunque de menor proporción que el anterior. Se asoció a un empeoramiento significativo durante la internación, tanto de los pacientes que presentaron buen pronóstico como malo.

Authors: Isaías Ana Clara
Published: November 2021

Las redes son formas de interacción social, definidas por intercambios dinámicos entre los sujetos que las forman; en este caso, abordaremos aquellas que intentan dar respuesta a las necesidades de inclusión educativa de niños con Trastornos del Desarrollo (TD), asumiéndolas como estrategias que permiten potenciar recursos y contribuir a la resolución de problemas. Se indaga qué actores, instituciones, obstáculos y ayudas surgen en los procesos inclusivos. Para ello, se diseñó un estudio exploratorio y transversal, apelando a la estrategia de triangulación; por medio de una entrevista semiestructurada. Formaron parte de la población 14 profesionales de la salud que atienden niños con TD, en el Hospital de Niños Zona Norte. Los actores mencionados con mayor frecuencia son: el psicólogo (12), el fonoaudiólogo (8) y el neuropediatra (6) y el terapista ocupacional (6). Las instituciones más nombradas como formantes de la red son la escuela común (11) y la especial (11). En relación a los obstáculos, 2 entrevistados no mencionan ninguno, 4 detectan obstáculos actitudinales; 3 comunicativos; 2 administrativos, 2 epistemológicos y 1 comunicativos y administrativos. Por ejemplo: “Falta de comunicación, poca disponibilidad de horarios para reuniones”. Por otra parte; 9 destacan beneficios para los usuarios, 1 de ellos los ubica en relación a los profesionales y 4 mencionan a ambos. Por ejemplo, “Procesos de integración con mejores resultados en cuanto a permanencia, experiencia y aprendizaje de todos los actores”. Si bien la muestra seleccionada es pequeña, podemos reflexionar acerca de las estrategias de los equipos, dirigidas a ofrecer una mejor atención y aportar al proceso de inclusión escolar, desbordando los límites de los consultorios, entramándose en diversos sectores que redundan en experiencias enriquecedoras.

Published: November 2021

Nowadays with the increase in vehicle production and world population, more and more spaces and facilities are required. The problem arises from not knowing where the empty space is; even if it is known, many vehicles may pursue very limited parking spaces which will cause serious traffic congestion. Because of that, we purpose a system that will help car users to find a parking space in most metropolitan areas even during the rush hours, by computerizing the parking space reservation using an application on Android smartphone. The proposed smart parking policy has the potential to solve the problems of parking systems, as well as reduce traffic congestion caused by parking searching thus making the system two-way efficient, that is, cost wise and time wise.

Building Information and Modelling (BIM) is a technology that allows Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) professionals to digitally design, test, construct and manage the infrastructure. BIM in construction projects has not been fully implemented, due to lack of effective strategy in the implementation of BIM. AEC industries struggles to implement BIM because of the absence of a Real-World BIM sample and BIM framework. This research aims to navigate AEC professionals to implement BIM with respect to structural discipline and this paper will also help to understand the coordination between other disciplines where one discipline model is superimposed on another discipline model. This paper will also help to understand different global BIM standards and the most efficient and effective BIM tools used all over the world. AEC professionals need assistance in the form of a framework which would provide a road map to process and implement BIM.

Wastewater problem is increasing lately due to uncontrollable disposals from industries and poor wastewater management. Wastewater discharged from industries contains dyes, heavy metal compounds, oil, etc and these contaminants will contaminant drinking water. Consuming water which is polluted by heavy metals such as copper, may result to human health problems, like anaemia, mental disorder, damages internally, nausea etc. The objective of this research is to study the effectiveness of copper, Cu (II) removal using organic adsorbent under the effect of varying pH and dosage of adsorbent. For this reason, watermelon rind was chosen as an organic adsorbent to remove Cu (II) from synthetic wastewater. Watermelon rind was chemically modified with hydrochloric acid to enhance the removal efficiency and the adsorption performance was compared with untreated organic adsorbent. It was found that the optimum pH for Cu (II) is 7. Adsorption equilibrium was described using Langmuir isotherm model and showed that the modified watermelon rind has a better loading capacity of metal ions compared to the unmodified watermelon rind. FTIR analysis shows that the peak shifts under carbonyl of unmodified watermelon rind differs from modified watermelon rind, due to the existing level of energy naturally in unmodified watermelon rind of copper to bind with carboxylic acid groups. The FESEM image study of modified watermelon rind shows that the structures are in irregular shapes and rough, tend to adsorb more due to higher porosity. Results show that the removal efficiency of modified watermelon rind was found to be higher (79.07%) as compared to raw watermelon rind (58.97%). It shows that acid modified watermelon rind has improved the removal efficiency of the adsorbent.
