Haziness Degree Evaluator: A Knowledge-Driven Approach for Haze Density Estimation
Authors: Ngo Dat , Lee Gi-Dong , Kang Bongsoon
Published: June 2021

Haze is a term that is widely used in image processing to refer to natural and human-activity-emitted aerosols. It causes light scattering and absorption, which reduce the visibility of captured images. This reduction hinders the proper operation of many photographic and computer-vision applications, such as object recognition/localization. Accordingly, haze removal, which is also known as image dehazing or defogging, is an apposite solution. However, existing dehazing algorithms unconditionally remove haze, even when haze occurs occasionally. Therefore, an approach for haze density estimation is highly demanded. This paper then proposes a model that is known as the haziness degree evaluator to predict haze density from a single image without reference to a corresponding haze-free image, an existing georeferenced digital terrain model, or training on a significant amount of data. The proposed model quantifies haze density by optimizing an objective function comprising three haze-relevant features that result from correlation and computation analysis. This objective function is formulated to maximize the image’s saturation, brightness, and sharpness while minimizing the dark channel. Additionally, this study describes three applications of the proposed model in hazy/haze-free image classification, dehazing performance assessment, and single image dehazing. Extensive experiments on both real and synthetic datasets demonstrate its efficacy in these applications.

Published: June 2021

In light of the growth in demand for multiband antennas for medical applications, this research proposes a MICS/ISM meander-line microstrip antenna encapsulated in an oblong-shaped pod for use in diagnoses of the gastrointestinal tract. The proposed antenna is operable in the Medical Implant Communication System (MICS) and the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. The antenna structure consists of a meander-line radiating patch, a flipped-L defected ground plane, and a loading resistor for antenna miniaturization. The MICS/ISM microstrip antenna encapsulated in an oblong-shaped pod was simulated in various lossy-material environments. In addition, the specific absorption rate (SAR) was calculated and compared against the IEEE C95.1 standard. For verification, an antenna prototype was fabricated and experiments carried out in equivalent liquid mixtures, the dielectric constants of which resembled human tissue. The measured impedance bandwidths (|S11| ≤ −10 dB) for the MICS and ISM bands were 398–407 MHz and 2.41–2.48 GHz. The measured antenna gains were −38 dBi and −13 dBi, with a quasi-omnidirectional radiation pattern. The measured SAR was substantially below the maximum safety limits. As a result, the described MICS/ISM microstrip antenna encapsulated in an oblong-shaped pod can be used for real-time gastrointestinal tract diagnosis. The novelty of this work lies in the use of a meander-line microstrip, flipped-L defected ground plane, and loading resistor to miniaturize the antenna and realize the MICS and ISM bands.

Published: June 2021

For many years, seismological research mainly focuses on translational ground motions due to the lack of appropriate sensors. However, because of the development of devices based on Sagnac effect, measuring rotational waves directly comes available. In this work, a portable three-component broadband rotational seismometer named RotSensor3C based on open loop interferometric fiber optic gyroscope (IFOG) is designed and demonstrated. Laboratory tests and results are illustrated in detail. The self-noise ranging from 0.005 Hz to 125 Hz is about 1.2×10−7rads−1/Hz, and with the harmonics compensation the scale factor variation over ±250∘/s is lower than 10 ppm (parts per million). The misalignment matrix method is adopted to revise the output rotation rate. In a special near field experiment using the explosive source, the back-azimuths and phase velocity are estimated by the recorded acceleration and rotation rate. All the results prove the practicability of this new rotational sensor.

Published: June 2021

The population loss rate of a honey bee colony is a critical index to verify its health condition. Forecasting models for the population loss rate of a honey bee colony can be an essential tool in honey bee health management and pave a way to early warning methods in the understanding of potential abnormalities affecting a honey bee colony. This work presents a forecasting and early warning algorithm for the population daily loss rate of honey bee colonies and determining warning levels based on the predictions. Honey bee colony population daily loss rate data were obtained through embedded image systems to automatically monitor in real-time the in-and-out activity of honey bees at hive entrances. A forecasting model was trained based on temporal convolutional neural networks (TCN) to predict the following day’s population loss rate. The forecasting model was optimized by conducting feature importance analysis, feature selection, and hyperparameter optimization. A warning level determination method using an isolation forest algorithm was applied to classify the population daily loss rate as normal or abnormal. The integrated algorithm was tested on two population loss rate datasets collected from multiple honey bee colonies in a honey bee farm. The test results show that the forecasting model can achieve a weighted mean average percentage error (WMAPE) of 17.1 ± 1.6%, while the warning level determination method reached 90.0 ± 8.5% accuracy. The forecasting model developed through this study can be used to facilitate efficient management of honey bee colonies and prevent colony collapse.

Published: June 2021

Recently, by the rapid development of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) and the advancement of Software Defined Networking (SDN) as an emerging technology, the Software-Defined Vehicular Network (SDVN) has a tremendous attraction in the academia and research community. SDN’s unique properties and features, such as its flexibility, programmability, and centralized control, make the network scalable and straightforward. In VANETs, traffic management and secure communication of vehicle information using the public network are the main research dimensions in the current era for the researchers to be considered while designing an efficient and secure VANETs architecture. This paper highlights the possible identified threat vectors and efficiently resolves the network vulnerabilities to design a novel and secure hierarchic architecture for SDVN. To solve the above problem, we proposed a Public Key Infrastructure-based digital signature model for efficient and secure communication from Vehicle to Vehicle. We also used the public key authority infrastructure for Vehicle to Infrastructure and the three-way handshake method for secure session creation and secure data communication in the SDN controller. The proposed security is validated through the well-known simulation tool AVISPA. Additionally, a formal security model is applied to validate the design hierarchic architecture’s fundamental security properties for SDVN in an efficient and desirable way. In a comparative analysis, we prove that our proposed scheme fulfills all the essential security properties compared to other states of the art schemes.

Published: June 2021

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a key role in the ecosystem of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the definition of today’s Industry 4.0. These WSNs have the ability to sensor large amounts of data, thanks to their easy scalability. WSNs allow the deployment of a large number of self-configuring nodes and the ability to automatically reorganize in case of any change in the topology. This huge sensorization capacity, together with its interoperability with IP-based networks, allows the systems of Industry 4.0 to be equipped with a powerful tool with which to digitalize a huge amount of variables in the different industrial processes. The IEEE 802.15.4e standard, together with the access mechanism to the Time Slotted Channel Hopping medium (TSCH) and the dynamic Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL), allow deployment of networks with the high levels of robustness and reliability necessary in industrial scenarios. However, these configurations have some disadvantages in the deployment and synchronization phases of the networks, since the time it takes to synchronize the nodes is penalized compared to other solutions in which access to the medium is done randomly and without channel hopping. This article proposes an analytical model to characterize the behavior of this type of network, based on TSCH and RPL during the phases of deployment along with synchronization and connection to the RPL network. Through this model, validated by simulation and real tests, it is possible to parameterize different configurations of a WSN network based on TSCH and RPL.

Published: June 2021

An early estimation of the exact number of fruits, flowers, and trees helps farmers to make better decisions on cultivation practices, plant disease prevention, and the size of harvest labor force. The current practice of yield estimation based on manual counting of fruits or flowers by workers is a time consuming and expensive process and it is not feasible for large fields. Automatic yield estimation based on robotic agriculture provides a viable solution in this regard. In a typical image classification process, the task is not only to specify the presence or absence of a given object on a specific location, while counting how many objects are present in the scene. The success of these tasks largely depends on the availability of a large amount of training samples. This paper presents a detector of bunches of one fruit, grape, based on a deep convolutional neural network trained to detect vine bunches directly on the field. Experimental results show a 91% mean Average Precision.
Adaptive and Robust Operation with Active Fuzzy Harvester under Nonstationary and Random Disturbance Conditions
Authors: Hara Yushin , Otsuka Keisuke , Makihara Kanjuro
Published: June 2021

The objective of this paper is to amplify the output voltage magnitude from a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester under nonstationary and broadband vibration conditions. Improving the transferred energy, which is converted from mechanical energy to electrical energy through a piezoelectric transducer, achieved a high output voltage and effective harvesting. A threshold-based switching strategy is used to improve the total transferred energy with consideration of the signs and amplitudes of the electromechanical conditions of the harvester. A time-invariant threshold cannot accomplish effective harvesting under nonstationary vibration conditions because the assessment criterion for desirable control changes in accordance with the disturbance scale. To solve this problem, we developed a switching strategy for the active harvester, namely, adaptive switching considering vibration suppression-threshold strategy. The strategy adopts a tuning algorithm for the time-varying threshold and implements appropriate intermittent switching without pre-tuning by means of the fuzzy control theory. We evaluated the proposed strategy under three realistic vibration conditions: a frequency sweep, a change in the number of dominant frequencies, and wideband frequency vibration. Experimental comparisons were conducted with existing strategies, which consider only the signs of the harvester electromechanical conditions. The results confirm that the presented strategy achieves a greater output voltage than the existing strategies under all nonstationary vibration conditions. The average amplification rate of output voltage for the proposed strategy is 203% compared with the output voltage by noncontrolled harvesting.

Authors: Lee Hyun-Jae , Yi Hak
Published: June 2021

Robotics has been used as an attractive tool in diverse educational fields. A variety of robotic platforms have contributed to teaching practical embedded programming to engineering students at universities. However, most platforms only support content with a low level of programming skills and are unlikely to support a high level of embedded programming. This low association negatively affects students, such as incomprehension, decreased participation, dissatisfaction with course quality, etc. Therefore, this paper proposed a new robotic platform with relevant curricula to improve their effectiveness. The developed platform provided practical content used in mechatronics classes and the capability to operate a robot with a high level of embedded programming. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed platform, participants (undergraduates) examined course evaluations for educational programs based on the developed platform compared with the previous year’s class evaluation. The results showed that the proposed platform positively affects students’ intellectual ability (performance) and satisfaction in programming education.

Published: June 2021

Medical infrared thermography has proven to be a complementary procedure to physiological disorders, such as the diabetic foot. However, the technique remains essentially based on 2D images that display partial anatomy. In this context, a 3D thermal model provides improved visualization and faster inspection. This paper presents a 3D reconstruction method associated with temperature information. The proposed solution is based on a Structure from Motion and Multi-view Stereo approach, exploiting a set of multimodal merged images. The infrared images were obtained by automatically processing the radiometric data to remove thermal interferences, segment the RoI, enhance false-color contrast, and for multimodal co-registration under a controlled environment and a ∆T < 2.6% between the RoI and thermal interferences. The geometric verification accuracy was 77% ± 2%. Moreover, a normalized error was adjusted per sample based on a linear model to compensate for the curvature emissivity (error ≈ 10% near to 90°). The 3D models were displayed with temperature information and interaction controls to observe any point of view. The temperature sidebar values were assigned with information retrieved only from the RoI. The results have proven the feasibility of the 3D multimodal construction to be used as a promising tool in the diagnosis of diabetic foot.

Soil nutrient is one of the most important properties for improving farmland quality and product. Imaging spectrometry has the potential for rapid acquisition and real-time monitoring of soil characteristics. This study aims to explore the preprocessing and modeling methods of hyperspectral images obtained from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform for estimating the soil organic matter (SOM) and soil total nitrogen (STN) in farmland. The results showed that: (1) Multiplicative Scattering Correction (MSC) performed better in reducing image scattering noise than Standard Normal Variate (SNV) transformation or spectral derivatives, and it yielded a result with higher correlation and lower signal-to-noise ratio; (2) The proposed feature selection method combining Successive Projections Algorithm (SPA) and Competitive Adaptive Reweighted Sampling algorithm (CARS), could provide selective preference for hyperspectral bands. Exploiting this method, 24 and 22 feature bands were selected for SOM and STN estimation, respectively; (3) The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was employed to obtain optimized input weights and bias values of the extreme learning machine (ELM) model for more accurate prediction of SOM and STN. The improved PSO-ELM model based on the selected preference bands achieved higher prediction accuracy (R2 of 0.73 and RPD of 1.91 for SOM, R2 of 0.63, and RPD of 1.53 for STN) than support vector machine (SVM), partial least squares regression (PLSR), and the ELM model. This study provides an important guideline for monitoring soil nutrient for precision agriculture with imaging spectrometry.

In providing the population with high-quality and cheap beef a signifi cant role is assigned, and in the future will be assigned to beef cattle breeding. The development of this industry and its eff ectiveness depends on the correct use of available feed resources. With the development of the feed industry the main task of which is mainly to ensure that in a small volume, as much as possible, as many sources of nutrients in a highly digestible form, the use of feed additives becomes important. Feed additives as a rule should compensate for the missing elements in the ration. The level and ratio of nutrients in them have a stimulating eff ect on the growth of muscle tissue and the formation of a strong backbone. The purpose of the work was to study the eff ect of the feed additive Vermiculite on the live weight of Kazakh White-headed steers. In order to study the feed additive Vermiculite in the rations of steers a scientifi c and economic experiment has been carried out on the basis of LLP “Terra” in the Kostanay region in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Two groups of steers have been formed for this purpose with 10 heads in each. The control group has received a basic feeding ration consisting of corn silage, haylage, wheat straw, complete feed (wheat, barley). The experimental group has received 200 g of Vermiculite per 1 head/day in addition to the main ration. During the entire period of the experiment the steers of the experimental group had the highest indicators of average daily growth compared to their herdmates in the control group. The highest value of the average daily gain in both groups has been observed in the period of 8–12 months, amounting to 1123,3 g in the control group, and 1159,2 g in the experimental group. The diff erence in favor of the steers of the experimental group was 35,9 g or 3,2 % (P < 0,01). In general during the experiment the diff erence in the average daily gain in live weight between the groups was 31,1 g or 3,5 % in favor of the animals of the experimental group.

Complete feeding is one of the most important factors that ensure the success of breeding work; it is the basis for increasing the productivity of animals, improving existing and breeding new breeds and types. In order to obtain high productivity from animals in accordance with their genetic potential it is necessary to ensure that animals consume more dry matter in rations with a variety of high-quality feed with a high concentration of energy and nutrients in the dry matter. The purpose of the research was to study the nutritional value of feeding rations in breeding farm with different technologies of cows housing in accordance with the feeding standards. The experiment has been carried out in the breeding farm of CJSC “Azovskoye” in the Azov district in the Omsk region. The results of studies of the ration of lactating cows of Red Steppe breed with a live weight of 500–550 kg and a daily milk yield of 19,5 kg of milk with different methods of housing (tie-up housing and free-stall housing) have been presented. It has been established that the farm ration did not provide for the specifics of the housing technology and consists of energy, protein and expensive feed with insufficient content of carbohydrates and macro elements (phosphorus). The proposed ration takes into account the peculiarities of the technology of animals housing, equalizes the indicators of the sugar-protein ratio, as well as phosphorus to calcium by reducing concentrated, coarse feed and introducing grain molasses, as well as phosphorus additives. The balanced ration provides for a large energy output of 9,97 MJ and prevents a number of possible metabolic diseases in the body associated with a violation in the feeding system of lactating cows.

Propaganda protestante e imprentas en Barcelona. El colportor James Graydon y los impresos de Antonio Bergnes de las Casas (1835-1840)
Authors: Moreno Doris , Rueda Ramírez Pedro
Published: June 2021

Las sociedades bíblicas y misioneras comenzaron a distribuir Biblias y textos protestantes en España de manera regular a través de agentes en los años treinta del siglo XIX. En esta estrategia de distribución jugó un papel clave James Graydon. En Barcelona publicó el Nou Testament en catalán (1836) y la Biblia (1837) en español. Ambos fueron impresos en el taller de Antonio Bergnes de las Casas, además de otros impresos protestantes, de tono polémico y apologético, que el colportor distribuyó por toda la costa mediterránea. La red de agentes de Bergnes y el papel jugado por la publicidad en prensa fueron esenciales para la distribución de estos impresos protestantes, generando una importante respuesta católica en los diarios y en textos antiprotestantes, contribuyendo a profundizar el debate sobre la libertad religiosa y la libertad de cultos.

O presente artigo é resultado da pesquisa de mestrado, As concepções de alfabetização e letramento na pré-escola: reflexões a partir da equipe gestora[1]. A pesquisa tinha como objetivo conhecer a compreensão da equipe gestora da rede municipal de ensino da cidade de Catalão sobre os conceitos de alfabetização e letramento que direcionaram a elaboração da proposta de educação pré-escolar e como se articulavam com as práticas escolares. A investigação foi qualitativa, realizada por meio de pesquisa de campo, tendo como instrumento de coleta de dados entrevistas semiestruturadas com a equipe gestora municipal e escolar. Neste artigo[2], trazemos um recorte da dissertação, focalizando discussões, a respeito da função social da escola enquanto espaço público de formação humana, a partir da gestão. Para tal, adotamos aqui, o caminho metodológico bibliográfico, fundamentando em autores como Dourado (2001, 1998), Libânio (2001), Lopes e Macedo (2010), entre outros. Para isso, apresentamos duas perspectivas de gestão, sendo uma voltada para os interesses do mercado, conforme os preceitos do modelo neoliberal, conhecida como gestão por resultados, e, a outra, voltada para a emancipação humana, e que se ancora nos princípios da gestão democrática. Outro aspecto aqui tratado, é em torno da construção e da seleção do currículo que longe de ser neutro, está carregado de interesses e concepções da classe dominante. Por fim, o estudo revela o relevante papel da escola na potencialização para uma formação humana e emancipatória, assim, como a inserção dos preceitos empresariais na educação escolar.

Of the current players, half (50.4%) of the young people who have played in the last year mention playing alone, mainly from a non-family home. The cell phone is the most used device for video games, with a little more than half (52.7%) of participants who reported their use, of which all belong to a family home. In terms of dependence on video games, 43.2% was light, 35% medium, 17.7% abuse, and 4.1% pathological. Pathological gamblers belong to family homes.
Fractal algorithm for the modeling of consumption in COVID-19
Authors: Ramos-Escamilla María
Published: June 2021

We present an analysis of the exogenous factors of consumption, we simulate it in a fractal algorithm whose objective is the Brownian equilibrium through the iterative multiplication of assumptions of an initial function at current prices whose values are constant and positive that will derive in the final solution that is characterized by non-negativity and does not denote absolute convergence, only relative to their economies of scale compared to iterative methods, we find other procedures derived from the stochastic method but formulated strictly as mathematical developments, they are fractal optimization algorithms, which are based on search of an objective function that minimizes the distance between the initial function and the expected iterations of the candidate functions to be a solution, verifying the corresponding restrictions.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), is one of the most important vegetables that supports food and nutritional security. One of the various forms that is offered is in cluster, also known as ToV, being one of the specialties of the tomato ball. The disadvantage is the visual quality (the homogeneous color) that determines the level of consumer acceptance and the foreign market, as well as the consumption time. Due to this, the effect of two spray techniques (mopping and touch) in postharvest on the ToV fruits grown in the greenhouse was evaluated. This to favor the homogeneity of color; using bioregulators: A) 2-cloroethyl phosphonic acid y B) K2O 20%. in three concentrations [A (T1= 7.2 ppm, T2= 12 ppm y T3= 120 ppm, T4= control H2O); B (T1= 66 ppm, T2= 550 ppm, T3= 715 ppm, T4= control H2O)] under a complete randomized design with three repetitions to two observations (initial - final) during seven days. The results were subjected to post hoc comparisons, for which the weight variable in both bioregulators did not show statistical effect; however, in the color variable, the spraying techniques showed statistical differences with respect to the control. Therefore, it is concluded that the use of bioregulators in post-harvest is a solution to the color homogeneity of the ToV tomato.
Procesos turístico-patrimoniales en la Fiesta Provincial del Dulce de Leche en Cañuelas, Argentina
Authors: Pérez Winter Cecilia
Published: June 2021

Analizamos el proceso de conformación de la fiesta del Dulce de Leche en el municipio de Cañuelas, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, país donde este alimento es considerado parte de la gastronomía nacional. En este marco, revisamos las estrategias implementadas por determinados actores para lograr que dicho evento adquiriera estatus provincial. Identificamos y examinamos documentos y reconocimientos turístico-patrimoniales que se fueron entretejiendo alrededor de ciertos hechos históricos para construir los fundamentos de la creación de dicha fiesta. Este estudio nos permitió analizar las particularidades del proceso, a los actores involucrados, las resignificaciones y transformaciones que ha tenido la fiesta, algunas tensiones expresadas y las estrategias seguidas para justificar la ampliación de su escala de activación de local a provincial. Concluimos que esto último fue posible gracias a la actuación de diversos actores que utilizaron su red de contactos y experticia para construir discursos que legitimaran la relevancia de la fiesta como patrimonio cultural y como producto turístico. Tales procesos de valorización promueven una mayor visibilización del municipio, mejorando su economía a partir del turismo, nuevas inversiones y apoyo logístico desde el sector privado y el gobierno provincial.
Fiesta de la Yerba Mate en Sudamérica: Argentina, Brasil y Paraguay (1961-2018)
Authors: Rodríguez Lisandro
Published: June 2021

La propuesta es examinar las implicancias socioeconómicas, simbólicas e identitarias de la Fiesta Internacional de la Yerba Mate. El festival constituye un espacio de integración regional que congrega a tres países: Argentina, Brasil y Paraguay; particularidad que ubica a la celebración en un escenario de construcción cultural, con una mezcla única de sonidos idiomáticos y costumbres que hacen de la cuenca yerbatera una región histórica que trasciende las fronteras de los estados nacionales. La puesta en valor del patrimonio ancestral representa el eslogan de un espectáculo que rinde homenaje al cultivo e intenta visibilizar la labor del productor representado bajo la figura del colono. La localidad de Apóstoles, en la provincia de Misiones (Argentina) es el escenario de esta celebración anual. El lugar de realización constituye en sí misma una expresión cultural, rodeado de un halo simbólico vinculado a la yerba mate, inmigración y colonización. Además de las razones expuestas, el interés de este trabajo es fijar la óptica en la importancia en sí de esta fiesta popular para la economía, observando el lugar que ocupa en la agenda de los Estados involucrados y para los demás miembros de la sociedad civil.
Fronteras de identidad popular en las Fiestas de S. Sebastião del Barroso en Portugal
Authors: Duarte Ribeiro José
Published: June 2021

La sincronicidad de los ciclos agrarios con los periodos festivos de la ruralidad en la península ibérica es remanente de la celebración en los primeros tiempos de la agricultura, donde el don celebrado es el del fruto de la tierra. En Trás-os-Montes, en particular en la región del Barroso, Portugal, ha sido fértil desde tiempos inmemoriales un sincretismo entre el paganismo de la tierra, sus productos y las figuras de los santos, apropiados primero popularmente y después por la religión canónica. En diferentes pueblos de Barroso, Samão, Gondiães y Salto, las fronteras de identidad popular entre lo divino y lo profano están latentes en la importancia del ciclo agrario y en la sacralización de sus productos que les protege “de la peste, del hambre y de la guerra” —en la oración al santo protector São Sebastião. A través de entrevistas semiestructuradas con aldeanos, organizadores de las fiestas de S. Sebastião, pero también con especialistas en tradición, se propone una reflexión sobre la expresión popular en el afecto por su santo. Los orígenes de la tradición en tiempos de angustia pasada y especialmente en el comunitarismo que se celebra, definen la identidad popular del Barroso.
