Authors: Odunlade Olajire Aremu , Adegbie Folajimi Festus
Published: June 2022

Government spending on infrastructures in various subsectors of the economy such as power, roads, education for human capital development and security is often directed towards increase in the production of goods and services and creating environment that will enhance the welfare of the citizens. However poor state of infrastructure in Nigeria, have been noted to be affecting the financial performance of manufacturing companies in the country. Our focus in this study was to link government spending on Power, Roads, Security and Human Capital Development with the micro variables of firm performance in the area of Return On Capital Employed (ROCE).The study adopted ex-post facto research design. The population of the study was 83 listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria as at December 31, 2016, from which a sample size of 20 was purposively selected based on availability of data covering the period from 1990 to 2015. Secondary data were obtained from published financial statements of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria, publications of government and the World Bank. Validity and Reliability of the data were based on the reports of external auditors and other regulatory agencies. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The study found that government spending on Power, Roads, security and human capital development have no joint significant effect on ROCE (F(4, 21 ) = 0.523, the P-value associated with the F-value as is 0.720, this is greater than 0.05 indicating that there was no significant relationship between the independent and the dependent variables. adj R2 = -0.083. Coefficients of the independent variables show that Government spending on Power had positive but insignificant effect on ROCE (t=0.524, p>0.05). Roads had negative, insignificant effect on ROCE(t=-0.498, p>0.05) Security had negative but insignificant effect on ROCE (t(26) = -1.221, p>0.05), HCD had positive but insignificant effect on ROCE (t(26) = 0.823, p>0.05). The study concluded that government spending on infrastructural development in the areas of power, road, security and education did not impact on the Return On Capital Employed of manufacturing companies in Nigeria within the period of study. Sustainable industrial development requires adequate funding of infrastructures in Nigeria to reduce cost of operations and increase profitability level of manufacturing companies.

A caracterização da paisagem de microbacias é muito importante para o planejamento e gestão dos recursos naturais, por permitir a obtenção de informações sobre as características hidrogeomorfométricas, e, consequentemente, a identificação da fragilidade ambiental e do potencial agropecuário. O presente estudo teve como objetivo a caracterização da paisagem do rio Lagartixa, utilizando geotecnologias e equações. A microbacia do rio Lagartixa tem área de 11,02 km2, perímetro de 15,49 km, forma intermediária, altitude média de 213 m, predominância dos relevos suave ondulado e plano, padrão de drenagem dendrítico, rios de até 3° ordem (baixa probabilidade de secar durante o período de estiagem), 11 nascentes, 1 nascente km-2 (baixa), densidade de drenagem de 1,23 km km-2 (média), coeficiente de manutenção de 810,9 m2 m-1, índice de sinuosidade de 17,19% (canal principal muito reto) e tempo de concentração de 3,39 h. As características da paisagem confirmam aptidão para o desenvolvimento de atividades agrícolas, com 99,91% da área exercendo baixa influência na propagação de incêndios e apta a extremamente apta à mecanização agrícola, contudo, esta microbacia está localizada no pantanal do rio Guaporé e pode passar por problemas de enchentes no período das chuvas. Portanto, recomenda-se uma análise da cobertura do solo para se identificar as áreas suscetíveis às enchentes, e juntamente com as informações adquiridas neste trabalho, selecionar as práticas de manejo mais eficientes para conciliar a conservação dos recursos naturais e o desenvolvimento de atividades econômicas.

Authors: Nestell Galina P. , Pope John P. , Nestell Merlynd K.
Published: June 2022

Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) foraminifers and a diverse radiolarian fauna are described from carbonate concretions in the black phosphatic facies of the Excello Shale Member of the Mouse Creek Formation (Marmaton Group) from two sections near the towns of Booneville and Medora in south-central Iowa. One new species of foraminifer, Ammobaculites marmatonensis, and nine new species of radiolarians are described: Albaillella mucronulata, Pseudoalbaillella boonevillensis, Ps. excella, Ps. decurvata, Ps. desmoinesiensis, Entactinia dianae, Spongentactinia? incerta, Tetragregnon iowaensis, and Latentidiota medorensis. The assemblage of radiolarians is similar to the assemblage of the Entactinia – Pseudoalbaillella Beds of the upper Moscovian described from Bashkiria, Southern Urals, Russia. Foraminifers and radiolarians are found together with the conodonts Idiognathodus acutus Ellison, Gondolella bella? Stauffer and Plummer, Neognathodus dilatus (Stauffer and Plummer) and Neognathodus roundyi (Gunnell). The latter species is especially useful for correlation of the Excello fauna to other areas in North America and to the International Carboniferous Time Scale.
Paleogeographic significance of muscle scars in global populations of Late Cretaceous ostracodes
Authors: Puckett T. Markham
Published: June 2022

Ostracodes are among the most useful groups of fossils for applications in paleogeography and plate tectonics, mainly because of their provincial distributions. Analyses by many workers of the distributions of some groups of ostracodes, typically cytherocopine taxa at the generic level, demonstrate that shallow marine ostracode faunas may differ markedly in coeval deposits, even within short geographic distances. These analyses indicate that many shallow marine taxa are unable to cross deep water barriers. An intimate relationship exists, therefore, between plate tectonics and biological evolution. This relationship can reveal clues not only about evolving plate tectonic configurations, but also about the phylogenetic relationships among taxa and the resulting taxonomy. This study focuses on Late Cretaceous shallow marine ostracode genera. Whereas many of these genera are restricted paleogeographically, several, for example Brachycythere, Veenia, Curfsina, Mosaeleberis and Aysegulina (known formerly as Limburgina; see Ã–zdikmen (2010)) among others, are reported to occur on widely separated continents in spite of widely recognized faunal barriers. Brachycythere and Curfsina have been described from such widely separate localities as North America, Europe, India and Australia; yet despite their external similarity, the muscle scar patterns from each geographic region show systematic differences. Although soft parts are rarely preserved, the muscle scar pattern is determined by the configuration of the soft part morphology and is thus of great phylogenetic and taxonomic value. These geographic and phylogenetic patterns indicate at least two possibilities: either there was convergent evolution of the exterior morphology or the exterior morphology is a plesiomorphic state, whereas the muscle scar patterns are apomorphic. In either case, recognition of these clades as discrete taxa contributes to their usefulness in paleogeographic and plate tectonic studies.
Palynology of late Serpukhovian glacial and postglacial deposits from Paganzo Basin, northwestern Argentina
Authors: Loinaze Valeria S. Perez , Cesari Silvia N.
Published: June 2022

Palynological analysis is reported here for the first time from glacial and postglacial deposits of the lower-middle section of the Guandacol Formation at the Huaco area, central Paganzo Basin, Argentina. Forty-nine spore species are assigned to twenty-seven genera and twenty-one pollen species are assigned to ten genera, however few acritarchs were identified. Biostratigraphic ranges of species suggest an age no older than late Serpukhovian for the section studied. This age is also supported by radiometric data that indicate an early Bashkirian age at the top of the Guandacol Formation. The palynofloras consistmostly of endemic spore species, and provide new evidence for delimiting the Subzone Aof the Raistrickia densa-Convolutispora muriornata Biozone in Argentina. Close correlation is suggested with palynological associations belonging to thewidespread glaciation occurred during the Serpukhovian-early Bashkirian in South America and Australia.

Field and Laboratory Evaluations ofBacillus thuringiensisStrains for Control of ELM Leaf Beetle
Authors: Cranshaw Whitney S. , Day Steven J. , Gritzmacher Thomas J. , Zimmerman Rick J.
Published: June 2022

The elm leaf beetle,Xanthogaleruca luteola(Muller), is a serious defoliating pest of elm throughout much of North America. Petrochemically-derived insecticidal sprays have been a common management practice for this insect but increasing environmental concerns and regulatory restrictions have required that alternative insecticides be considered. Recently, new strains ofBacillus thuringiensis(“San Diego”, “tenebrionis”) which have activity against leaf feeding beetles have been discovered and become available. Field and laboratory trials indicate that these are highly effective against larvae of elm leaf beetle. Some adulticidal activity also is present with these formulations. Persistence of the tested formulations on foliage was short so proper timing of treatments is important for effective control.

Authors: PASLI Mehmet Mert
Published: June 2022

Tourism has links with many fields such as politics, history, geography, economy, sports and culture. One of the fields it has links with is literature. Increasing competition gives rise to an expanding demand for alternative tourism destinations for tourists as destination managers incline to promote alternative tourism sites. One of these tourism types is literary tourism, which includes visits to destinations related to literature, that has recently become a popular attraction in Turkey for example there are Literature Museum Libraries which are supported by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in Turkey. This research aims to evaluate civil structures, mainly Ankara Mehmet Akif Ersoy Literature Museum Library which was built in the name of Mehmet Akif Ersoy who is a national poet, in relation to literature tourism. The activities for tourism carried out within the scope of literary tourism contribute positively to the region economically and helps to promote the area. Visiting the areas where Mehmet Akif Ersoy, the writer of the National Anthem, spent his life, being able to see his belongings, his handwriting, first edition books and photographs of that period, helps to establish an emotional bond between the tourists and the poet, and to inform the tourists about the conditions and the feelings with which these works were written and can be concluded that it is very valuable in terms of forming ideas.
A Social Perspective on the Concepts of Child, Youth, Family and Education from Mehmet Akif Ersoy's Perspective
Authors: ARABACI Nalan
Published: June 2022

Many studies on Mehmet Akif Ersoy, who is also known as "Homeland Poet" and "National Poet" in Turkish literature, show that he is in a structure suitable for realism and idealism, and that he frequently deals with subjects in which social concepts are at the forefront. Mehmet Akif collected all his poems in his work called Safahat, which consists of seven books. Family, which constitutes the core of the society and is the most basic building block that keeps it alive, comes first among the social concepts that he values. In his works, where he analyzes the various situations of the members of the family institution in depth, Akif focuses on the "child" and "young" individuals in this institution and the "education" needs of the new generation created by them. Akif has an intense interest in children and young people, because the way to know and serve a society is to know and understand the child well. The periods in which the individual evolves from childhood to youth and from there to adulthood; It has a critical meaning for the child, family and society. Being aware of this, Akif has been in an effort to create the ideal youth and thus to create the ideal society by emphasizing the family institution, which he almost sanctified and defined as the "heavenly palace" in his works. In this compilation type study, which is based on literature review and literature analysis as a method, based on Mehmet Akif Ersoy's work named Safahat, the concepts of "child", "young", "family" and "education", which are considered important in the progress of society, were evaluated from Akif's perspective and the importance of these concepts was tried to be revealed. When Mehmet Akif Ersoy's point of view on the aforementioned social concepts is examined both from his own works and from the works made about him, it seems possible to say that these views still maintain their validity today and that there are suggestions that can be a solution to many current social and educational problems.
Assessing News Literacy Skills between Journalism and Non-Journalism Students in Bangladesh
Authors: Begum Monira , Khan Abdur Razzaque
Published: June 2022

During this Covid situation, the bulk numbers of students have confined themselves to new media more than ever, and their dependency level has already proved how severe this can be in the future. As a consequence of staying tangled with lots of confusing information, students often have to face dilemmas in news and sources. Judging this situation after conducting this study on Journalism and non-Journalism students, the finding uncovers a moderate knowledge level of students in identifying the news quality of a source of information. Normally, Journalism students are thought to be involved with formal media education; nevertheless, this study observes an expectant number of non-Journalism students are wrapping up themselves with media education with endeavors during this pandemic. What is more, this study follows W. J. Potter’s cognitive model of media literacy. With this model, this study digs the news literacy skills among students. In contrast, the study found moderate skills among students in cases of having more conscious mindful thought than automatic thought about the media messages, moderate motivation for news consumption, the satisfactory awareness level of media control and influence, and more trust in news media. But the shocking result is that all students have almost bottom-line knowledge about the media system, including knowledge of the media industry, media content, and media effects. So, all these knowledge gaps ultimately show the poor curriculums where enough practical-based media education is absent. Hence, this study proves the demand for more practical-based media education in all curriculums, especially at the tertiary levels universities in Bangladesh, with more importance.

Dyscalculia is a specific learning difficulty in Mathematics. Intervention instrument is needed to assist the pupils to overcome their learning difficulties during this situation. Thus, this paper presents the evaluation of validity and reliability of a needs analysis questionnaire to investigate the needs to design and develop a dyscalculia instrument. This four-point Likert-type scale questionnaire consisted of 46 items that represented four constructs. The assessment of content validity is done through nine domain experts. Content validity index and Kappa statistics were implemented for content validity. After the validity analysis, one construct with low scale content validity index (S-CVI) and another three items with low item content validity index (I-CVI) and Kappa statistics had been removed. Overall, a number of 13 items had been removed and 33 items had been retained. Subsequently, reliability analysis was done by carrying out a pilot test. During the pilot test, the questionnaire had been implemented among 30 Mathematics teachers to obtain the Cronbach’s Alpha value. One item had been removed after the reliability analysis due to the low value of [corrected item-total correlation] and 32 items were retained. Thereafter, the questionnaire was ready to be used for data collection in the actual study. As stated in the preceding statement, it will assist teachers in identifying problems and planning appropriate interventions to meet the needs of dyscalculic students.

Published: June 2022

Hint coğrafyasında, İslâm çeşitli değişim ve dönüşümler geçirerek tarih sahnesindeki varlığını devam ettirmiş; farklı din söylemlerini sentezleyen pek çok yeni dini yapılanma ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu bağlamda Hint İslâm anlayışında, bazı Sünnî ve Şiî topluluklar metodik anlamda birbirleriyle yakınlaşmışlardır. Kimi Şiî topluluklar içerisinde, Sünnî gelenekle ilişkilendirilebilecek özellikler, kimi Sünnî topluluk içerisinde ise Şîa’yla ilişkilendirilebilecek nitelikler görülmeye başlanmıştır. Bu türden özelliklerin görüldüğü Müslüman topluluklardan birisi de Sünnî gelenek içerisinden çıkan Ahmedîlik’tir. Ahmedîlik içerisindeki Şiî geleneğin izleri, kurucusu Mirza Gulam Ahmed’in kurtarıcılık ve mesiyanik nübüvvet şeklindeki dinî iddialarından itibaren görülmektedir. Mirza Gulam Ahmed’den sonra da Ahmedîlerin dinî ve kurumsal anlayışlarında da yine Şiî düşüncenin izleri belirgin şekilde devam ettirilmiştir. Bu makalede de Mirza Mesrur Ahmed’in “Muharrem ve Hz. Hüseyin’in Yüce Konumu” isimli Cuma Hutbesi özelinde Ahmedîlerin erken dönemde vuku bulan hilâfet tartışmalarına dair bakış açıları ve Şiî tarihin önemli isimleri ele alınacaktır. Mirza Mesrur Ahmed’in söz konusu hutbesinin tarafımızca tercüme edilen ve dipnotlarda çeşitli ilavelerin yapıldığı bir nüshası da çalışmanın sonuna eklenecektir.

Published: June 2022

Caves have an important place in world history. In addition to the protective and flavoring properties of salt, the conclusion that it can be an alternative treatment for various diseases has increased the importance of salt caves. In this study, a 3D model of the salt cave located in the Tuzluca District of Iğdır Province, which was opened for the purpose of health tourism, was created using the backpack LiDAR system. The fact that the backpack LiDAR system is supported by a fast, flexible use and SLAM algorithm has increased its use in confined spaces such as caves. The created model has been converted into a geodetic coordinate system. It is observed that the location and transformation accuracy of the model are within the usable accuracy in geodetic studies. With this study, it was determined that the backpack LiDAR system can be used in cave studies.
Reformed Tradition, Gereja Kristen Sumatera Bagian Selatan Culture, and the Holy Scripture
Authors: Prabowo Yosafat Agung
Published: June 2022

This article is motivated by the anxiety to see how Reformed tradition seems less relevant or even irrelevant in Gereja Kristen Sumatera Bagian Selatan (GKSBS). This article thesis is a Reformed tradition, which is relevant to GKSBS, as it is placed in a “critical-appreciative dialogue with nglari and mandiri culture” and “in an authority dialogue with Holy Scripture”. To support the thesis, the writer “describe factual encounter” and “imagine critical appreciative dialogue” between Reformed tradition and Gereja Kristen Sumatera Bagian Selatan (GKSBS) nglari and mandiri culture, and then place them in authority dialogue with Holy Scripture. The results have found that there are meeting points and complementary potency between a boarder Reformed tradition and nglari culture eventhough the nglari culture defeats some Gereformeerd tradition aspects. The writer also found in many aspects, not only in Gereformeerd tradition, that affirms with mandiri culture each other, but also in a broader Reformed tradition which is able to critize the culture each other.  However, both Reformed tradition and GKSBS culture still need to be reformed according to the Holy Scripture.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the tourism industry. The very high decrease in the number of tourist visits has caused many businesses in the tourism sector to close their businesses, including tourist villages. As one of the tourist villages in Bali, the Penglipuran Tourism Village is also affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The management of Penglipuran Tourism Village has implemented the Green Economy concept. Where the application of the Green Economy concept can be seen from the tourism products offered are environmentally friendly products such as traditional houses that still utilize natural materials (bamboo trees), the souvenirs offered are processed products from agricultural and plantation products. The natural condition and clean and natural village environment is also a form of implementing the Green Economy concept which aims to preserve the environment. In its management, Penglipuran Tourism Village has involved the community starting from the planning, implementation and evaluation stages. It can be seen that pokdarwisa as a management institution is an institution established by the traditional village and the department where its members come from

Published: June 2022

Evidence was summarized to determine the effect of alteplase in adult stroke patients.

There is substantial uncertainty concerning the evidence due to the risk of bias in the available studies and imprecision in how the magnitude of the treatment effects were estimated.

The identified research suggests that alteplase administered within 3 hours of a stroke might result in:

fewer deaths after 18 months and little-to-no difference in death after 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, or 3 years

increased brain bleeds after 7 days but no difference after 36 hours or after 3 months

improvements in functioning and independence after 7 days and after 6 months; at 3 months, some studies showed no difference in independence and another study showed higher functioning.

The identified research suggests that alteplase administered between 3 hours and 4.5 hours after a stroke might result in:

little-to-no difference in deaths after 3 months; at 7 days, some evidence showed little-to-no difference in death while other evidence suggested more deaths

little-to-no differences in brain bleeds after 36 hours; at 7 days, some evidence showed no effect on brain bleeds, while other evidence showed more brain bleeds

no differences in functioning and independence after 6 months; at 3 months, some evidence showed no effect on functioning, while other evidence reported improved functioning.
The impacts of marine-emitted halogens on OH radicals in East Asia during summer
Authors: Fan Shidong , Li Ying
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Relationships between oceanic emissions and air chemistry
are intricate and still not fully understood. For regional air chemistry, a
better understanding of marine halogen emission on the hydroxyl (OH) radical is
crucial. The OH radical is a key species in atmospheric chemistry because it
can oxidize almost all trace species in the atmosphere. In the marine
atmosphere, OH levels could be significantly affected by the halogen species
emitted from the ocean. However, due to the complicated interactions of
halogens with OH through different pathways, it is not well understood how
halogens influence OH and even what the sign of the net effect is.
Therefore, in this study, we aim to quantify the impact of marine-emitted
halogens (including Cl, Br, and I) through different pathways on OH in the
high OH season by using the WRF-CMAQ model with process analysis and
state-of-the-art halogen chemistry in East Asia and near the western
Pacific. Results show a very complicated response of the OH production rate
(POH) to marine halogen emissions. The monthly POH is
generally decreased over the ocean by up to a maximum of about 10 %–15 % in
the Philippine Sea, but it is increased in many nearshore areas by up to about
7 %–9 % in the Bohai Sea. In the coastal areas of southern China, the
monthly POH could also decrease 3 %–5 %, but hourly values can decrease
over 30 % in the daytime. Analysis of the individual reactions using the
integrated reaction rate shows that the net change in POH is controlled
by the competition of three main pathways (OH from O3 photolysis, OH
from HO2 conversion, and OH from HOX, X=Cl, Br, I) through different
halogen species. Sea spray aerosol (SSA) and inorganic iodine gases are the
major species influencing the strengths of these three pathways and
therefore have the most significant impacts on POH. Both of these two
types of species decrease POH through physical processes, while
generally increasing POH through chemical processes. In the ocean
atmosphere, inorganic iodine gases determine the basic pattern of ΔPOH through complicated iodine chemistry, which generally positively
influences POH near O3 sources while negatively influencing it when O3
experiences longer transport over the ocean. Over the continent, SSA is the
controlling species, and the SSA extinction effect leads to the negative
ΔPOH in southern China. Our results show that marine-emitted
halogen species have notable impacts over the ocean and potential impacts on
coastal atmospheric oxidation by species (SSA, inorganic iodine, and
halocarbons), processes (chemistry, radiation, and deposition), and main
pathways. The notable impacts of the marine-emitted halogen species on the
atmospheric oxidation capacity have further implications for the lifetime of
long-lived species such as CH4 in the long term and the quantity of air
pollutants such as O3 in the episodic events in East Asia and in
other circumstances (e.g., different domains, regions, and emission rates).
Addressing the difficulties in quantifying droplet number response to aerosol from satellite observations

Published: June 2022

Abstract. Aerosol–cloud interaction is the most uncertain component of the overall anthropogenic forcing of the climate, in which cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) sensitivity to aerosol (S) is a key term for the overall estimation.
However, satellite-based estimates of S are especially challenging, mainly due to the difficulty in disentangling aerosol effects on Nd from possible confounders. By combining multiple satellite observations and reanalysis, this study investigates the impacts of (a) updraft, (b) precipitation, (c) retrieval errors, and (d) vertical co-location between aerosol and cloud on the assessment of S in the context of marine warm (liquid) clouds. Our analysis suggests that S increases remarkably with both cloud-base height and cloud geometric thickness (proxies for vertical velocity at cloud base), consistent with stronger aerosol–cloud interactions at larger updraft velocity for midlatitude and low-latitude clouds. In turn, introducing the confounding effect of aerosol–precipitation interaction can artificially amplify S by an estimated 21 %, highlighting the necessity of removing precipitating clouds from analyses of S. It is noted that the retrieval biases in aerosol and cloud appear to underestimate S, in which cloud fraction acts as a key modulator, making it practically difficult to balance the accuracies of aerosol–cloud retrievals at aggregate scales (e.g., 1∘×1∘ grid). Moreover, we show that using column-integrated sulfate mass concentration (SO4C) to approximate sulfate concentration at cloud base (SO4B) can result in a degradation of correlation with Nd, along with a nearly twofold enhancement of S, mostly attributed to the inability of SO4C to capture the full spatiotemporal variability of SO4B. These findings point to several potential ways forward to practically account for the major influential factors by means of satellite observations and reanalysis, aiming at optimal observational estimates of global radiative forcings due to the Twomey effect and also cloud adjustments.

Published: June 2022

Abstract. Measurements of wind and momentum fluxes are not typically at the centre of field studies on (shallow) cumulus convection, but the mesoscale organization of convection is likely closely tied to patterns in wind. This study combines in situ high-frequency turbulence measurements from a gust probe onboard a Cessna aircraft with downward profiling Doppler wind lidar (DWL) measurements onboard a Falcon aircraft to study variability in the wind profile and momentum fluxes in regions of convection. The dual-aircraft measurements were made during three prototype flights in shallow convective regimes over German agricultural areas (two of which had hilly topography, one flat) in late spring 2019, including forced cumulus humilis under weak winds and “popcorn” cumuli during stronger wind and wind shear after front passages. All flights show pronounced meso-gamma (2–20 km) scale variability in the wind, with the largest wind variance (on the order of 2–4 m2 s−2) towards cloud base and in the cloud layer on flights with large vertical wind shear. The wind and wind variance profiles measured in situ and by lidar compare very well, despite the DWL's coarse (∼ 8 km) horizontal footprint. This highlights the presence of wind fluctuations on scales larger than a few kilometres and that wind lidars can be used more deliberately in field studies to map (mesoscale) flows. Cloudy transects are associated with more than twice the momentum flux compared with cloud-free transects. The contribution of the updraft to the total momentum flux, typically one-third to two-thirds, is far less than the typical contribution of the updraft to buoyancy flux. Even on the same flight day, momentum flux profiles can differ per track, with one case of counter-gradient momentum transport when the updraft does carry substantial momentum flux. Scales beyond 1 km contribute significantly to the momentum flux and there is clear evidence for compensating flux contributions across scales. The results demonstrate that momentum flux profiles and their variability require understanding of motions across a range of scales, with non-negligible contributions of the clear-sky fluxes and of mesoscales that are likely coupled to the convection.
Improvement in Co-Operative Spectrum Sensing Using ILP and GA in Cognitive Radio Network
Authors: Morasada Nisha , Pathak Ketki
Published: June 2022

Wireless technologies have grown at a speed and with the passing year, it shows clearly that their consumers are also increasing, that increment in wireless spectrum consumer increases the demand for spectrum. But for our wireless systems, the spectrum is divided into two categories: the first is licensed and the second is unlicensed. Licensed spectrum is used by authorized users and unlicensed spectrum is free for all users. But most of the time it is shown the hat licensed spectrum may not be properly utilized by primary users (PUs), at that time spectrum band is free. To mitigate that inappropriate use of spectrum cognitive radio (CR) network is used. In CR there is one challenge that among the CR node some nodes experience an impact of multipath and shadowing, and another is to sense the spectrum under a lower signal to noise ratio. To overcome the effect of multipath and shadowing co-operative spectrum sensing has been used but it has large energy utilization. This extra energy is consumed in sensing the spectrum and reporting each nodes local decision to Fusion Centre (FC). In this paper we discuss three different schemes for total sensing time and energy decrement or throughput improvement. Here we go after for the genetic algorithm and integer linear programming scheme for overall energy minimization and throughput maximization.

Published: June 2022

Migration from rural to urban leads to intense urbanization; as a result, the demand for houses increases. Migrants prefer to have rental housing instead of having their own houses. Residential rental values differ from place to place on a city horizon. Variations in residential rental values are a result of preferences of tenants i.e. locational and neighborhood attributes. In Hyderabad Metropolitan Area, the impact of location and neighborhood attributes on rental housing shows the spatial variations in residential rental values. These preferable attributes further can be defined in form of Physical, Social, and Economic importance. Rents are fixed depending upon the availability of the aforementioned attributes. This paper aims to explore the impact of these attributes of preferences, made by tenants on residential rental values. To achieve the results, demand, and supply have also been analyzed by taking the mean values of identified parameters. The study is vital for investors, real estate developers, and housing policymakers to relieve capital investment decisions in the housing sector.
