Design of a Wire Cut EDM End-Effector with Strict Robotic Constraints
Authors: Almeida Sergio , Mo John P.T. , Bil Cees , Ding Songlin , Wang Xiangzhi
Published: October 2021

Wire Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) stands out as a non-contact and nearly force-free machining technique able to cut complex workpieces, delivering dimensional accuracy and superior surface finishing, especially for exotic super-hard materials. On the other hand, machining with six-axis industrial robots (IR) has received much attention due to its notorious advantages over CNC machines to deliver cost efficiency, large envelope, and complex tool kinematics. However, robot machining suffers from severe limitations regarding the tool payload, chatter, repeatability, accuracy error, complex programming and frequently poor surface finishing. This paper investigates the benefits of combining a robot with WEDM to exploit the advantages of both techniques. However, the new system design is not trivial and will involve a transdisciplinary approach and inventive problem solving to design and control a WEDM end-effector. The present study adopts the TRIZ algorithm approach to design a novel WEDM end-effector and define actions to be taken to achieve a flexible and accurate robotic machining system for hard-to-cut materials.
Multi-Granularity and Internal-External Correlation Residual Model for Chinese Sentence Semantic Matching
Authors: Zhang Lan , Chen Hongmei
Published: October 2021

Sentence semantic matching (SSM) is central to many natural language processing tasks. This is especially the case for Chinese sentence semantic matching due to the complexity of the semantics, missing semantics and semantic confusion are more likely to occur. Existing methods have used enhanced text representations and multiple matching strategies to address these problems but there is still great potential to capture deep semantic information for Chinese text. This paper proposes a Multi-Granularity and Internal-External correlation Residual model (MGIER) to better capture the deep semantic information and to alleviate the missing semantics effectively. First, the MGIER model utilizes character/word granularity to capture fine-grained information. Then, soft alignment attention is employed to enhance the correlation between characters/words in a sentence, called internal correlation, and the correlation between sentences, called external correlation. In particular, this method uses residual connections to preserve more semantic information from the bottom embedding layer to the top prediction layer. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance for Chinese SSM, and, compared with pre-trained models, the method also achieves better performance with fewer parameters.
Social Media User Profiling Based on Genre Extraction
Authors: Belousov Konstantin , Labutin Ivan
Published: October 2021

The task of automatic user profiling (in particular, determining their psychological parameters from their texts) in Social Networking Services (SNS) is of great practical importance in many fields (PR and marketing, advertising, politics, social relations and recommendations, etc.). However, this problems’ solution is often complicated by the need to process large amounts of data and the inability to explain the results achieved. Our article presents a new extensible fuzzy classification method for social media user profiling based on preliminary expert analysis of the linguistic behavior of such users. The proposed method is akin to topic modelling, but is not computationally expensive (so it can be used for large-scale data / web text analysis) and produces results that are relatively easy to interpret. Comparison with the other methods presented in literature also testifies in favor of the approach. The profiling accuracy reaches 65–70% on a relatively small dataset for such kind of studies.
Chinese Text Event Detection Technology Based on Improved Neural Network
Authors: Cui Ying , Wei Yongchao
Published: October 2021

With the development of deep learning, the use of neural network for text detection has been more in-depth research and more widely used. Based on this, this paper studies the Chinese text event detection technology based on improved neural network. In the research, this paper uses the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) to improve the traditional BP neural network algorithm. By optimizing the weights and thresholds of BP neural network, a Chinese text event detection method based on improved neural network is proposed. In order to verify the effect of the Chinese text event detection method based on improved neural network, this paper compares it with the natural scene text detection method, and compares the recall rate, accuracy rate and time-consuming. The results show that the accuracy rate of the natural scene text detection method is 88%, and the recall rate is 73%. The accuracy rate of the text detection method based on the improved neural network is 95% and the recall rate is 86%. The F value of the natural scene text detection method in the Chinese text event detection test is 0.79, which takes 4.56s The value of F in is 0.90, which takes 0.64s. Therefore, the Chinese text event detection method based on improved neural network has better performance.

Published: October 2021

Introduction. Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are at increased risk of developing dementia even if they do not meet the criteria for dementia. Executive control of working memory, which is implicated in divided attention, is often impaired in this population, and such impairment is a strong predictor of dementia. Slowing the development of dementia by enhancing cognitive and brain plasticity represents a current and future challenge for clinicians and researchers. Cognitive rehabilitation allows patients to compensate for cognitive deficits with the ultimate goal of reducing the impact of such deficits on everyday life. We aim to examine the effectiveness and generalization of an attention and working memory training program (Attention Process Training or APT-II) in improving cognitive and everyday functioning in patients with MCI by means of a single-blind, randomized controlled trial.
Methods. Twenty-two MCI patients will be randomly assigned to either a "Cognitive Training with APT-II" group or a "Standard Care" group. Initially, patients will be administered a battery of standardized neuropsychological tests to ensure that they meet MCI criteria. The intervention will consist of a cognitive training program (APT-II) and will last 8 weeks (two sessions per week). One of the strengths of APT-II training is that it emphasizes the transfer of cognitive gains from training sessions to everyday life. To evaluate the treatment's effectiveness in improving cognitive and daily life functioning, cognitive and functional outcomes will be assessed just before, immediately after, 3 months after, and 6 months after the intervention program. A divided attention memory task performed in virtual reality will also be administered to evaluate the effects of APT-II training on the management of attentional resources in a relatively ecological situation.
Perspective. If our results indicate an improvement in the cognitive and daily life performance of older adults with MCI, this non-invasive, low-cost technique may deserve increased consideration as a therapeutic intervention to delay or reverse cognitive decline an diminish the risk of developing dementia in this population.

Abstract. Terdapat dua faktor utama yang mempengaruhi prokrastinasi yaitu faktor internal dan eksternal. Faktor internal adalah faktor-faktor yang berasal dari individu yang turut membentuk prilaku prokrastinasi yang meliputi faktor fisik dan psikologis. Faktor eksternal yaitu faktor yang berasal dari luar individu dapat berupa tugas yang banyak (overloaded tasks) yang menuntut penyelesaian yang hampir bersamaaan. Hal ini diperparah apabila lingkungan mendukung prokrastinasi. Pelaku prokrastinasi (prokrastinator) cenderung melakukan prokrastinasi karena adanya rasa takut akan gagal, tidak suka pada tugas yang diberikan, menentang dan melawan kontrol, mempunyai sifat ketergantungan dan kesulitan membuat keputusan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui strategi coping terhadap prokrastinasi akademik mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan tugas perkuliahan. Pendekatan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan jumlah responden 84 orang mahasiswa Bimbingan dan Konseling Islam angkatan 2016. Dalam penelitian ini mengunakan alat ukur berupa skala strategi coping dan skala prokrastinasi akademik dengan metode analisis regresi sederhana berganda dengan hasil koefisien korelasi problem focused coping yakni  -1,189 dan p = 0,000 (p<0,05). Sedangkan emotional focused coping yaitu -089 p = 0,611 (p˃0,05). Problem focused coping Berpengaruh negatif artinya Semakin efektif penggunaan problem focused coping, maka prokrastinasi akademik semakin rendah. Sebaliknya apabila semakin tidak efektifnya penggunaan strategi problem focused coping, maka prokrastinasi akademik akan semakin tinggi. Koefisien determinasi menunjukkann problem focused coping secara simultan dapat menjelaskan perubahan prokrastinasi akademik sebesar 18,47%.

Authors: Mora Fernando , Quito Rosalva , Macías Louis
Published: October 2021

Reading represents a significant skill for knowledge acquisition. Nevertheless, many people cannot read properly, which may entail a serious limitation to their study, work, or other aspirations. The purpose of this research work is to determine the reading comprehension level and reading speed of English language students at the University of Cuenca, Ecuador, as well as the impact of sociodemographic factors and the use of reading strategies on these levels. The participants were 400 students who were taking English courses during September 2019 to February 2020 semester. The students completed a questionnaire on sociodemographic factors, took reading tests to determine their reading speed and comprehension, and then completed another questionnaire on reading strategies. The results show a high level of reading comprehension in English but a below-average reading speed, in part due to certain external factors. Given these results, research-based intervention is highly recommended to improve reading levels.
Neurogenesis and Neuroprotection in Huntington Disease
Authors:   , Hadid Bachir
Published: October 2021

Adult neurogenesis is attributed to the activity of progenitor cells whose progeny progressively mature to functional neurons under genetic and epigenetic influence. Due to the significant role of FGF6 (fibroblast growth factor 6), in the skeletal growth, and maintenance of progenitor cells in skeletal muscle, and the role of HDAC inhibitors (histone deacetylase inhibitors) in promoting neurogenesis, and increasing of neuronal proliferation, a combination of FGF6 with HDAC inhibitor CHDI-3 is investigated as a potential treatment to lessen neuronal loss in HD, by enhancing neurogenesis. Fascinatingly, FGF6 and HDAC inhibitor CHDI-3 treatment was found to be significantly neuroprotective in the expended huntingtin cell linesHdh111Q/111Q model 24hours after treatment during serum withdrawal. Results also show that FGF6 combined with HDAC inhibitor CHDI-3 was found to activate both pERK1/2and BDNF pathways in the expended huntingtin cell linesHdh111Q/111Q model 1 hour after treatment. In addition, results from Morris water maze indicate that neurogenesis inhibition negatively regulates the learning and spatial memory, and that neurogenesis occurs more in the young age, and decreases in the old age. Because pERK1/2, and BDNF pathways activation have been implicated in neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory and cell survival, we can conclude that FGF6 and HDAC inhibitors combined can be utilized for future therapeutic treatment to improve learning and memory for HD patients due to its enhancement of neurogenesis.

La provincia Pastaza tiene sembrada alrededor de 4500 hectáreas de caña de azúcar, que corresponde al 55% del total de la Amazonia, y la fabricación de aguardiente de caña de azúcar es una importante actividad económica. El objetivo de este documento fue analizar la situación ambiental y las potencialidades de aplicación de alternativas de producciones más limpias (PML) en la destilería de aguardiente “Puro Puyo”, ubicado en la Finca “Santa María”. Se realizó un diagnóstico inicial in situ de las condiciones del proceso. Se cuantificaron entradas y salidas, se elaboró un ecomapa con los puntos críticos, y se diseñaron tres opciones de PM para ser evaluadas. Los resultados del análisis de viabilidad técnica y económica, de las opciones de PML (recirculación de agua condensada, recuperación de calor y elaboración de compost) muestran que pueden ser favorables al proceso. Las opciones de PML a implementar tienen un incremento del 13.2% en la relación beneficio costo de la Finca “Santa María”. Adicionalmente, indicadores como el consumo de agua, diésel y gas licuado de petróleo (GLP), disminuyeron en un 65%, 70% y 57%, respectivamente, con beneficios económicos y ambientales por el consiguiente ahorro de recursos y disminución de emisiones. Finalmente, la implementación de PML en la destilería puede ser un paso fundamental para alcanzar un superior desarrollo económico y ambiental de las pequeñas y medianas empresas de la región.

Published: October 2021

The latest emerging technologies
for safety of road is focusing on finding new
ways/methods for reducing accidents and
reducing damage due to accidents. Road
accidents are increasing day by day and death
due to accidents has also been increased. But
accidents cannot be reduced due to increasing
population and thus increasing vehicles on the
road. If the accident does not cause death, it does
damage to the driver and other passengers and
also to the vehicle. In a study it has been revealed
that many accidents occur at horizontal curves.
So, we have studied and promoted the use of a
concept called “ROLLING BARRIERS”. By
using rolling barriers on horizontal curve,
number of deaths, damage to vehicle or injury to
human body can be minimized. Use of these
rolling barriers have proved to be effective. It
has been used in many developed countries and
it should be used in India to minimize accidents.

A fair decision is crucial in any of the game to give
justice to the game. Any wrong decision due to human
misperception may fate the result of the game. Computer vision
and Image processing techniques have been mentioned in the
literature review which used multiple cameras for
demonstration. This paper focuses on a system which helps in
making the decisions to assist the umpire in taking the
decisions such as no-ball, LBW i.e. Leg before wicket, Run out,
stump out, etc with the help of smartphone camera of good
quality.
The Decision review system (DRS) aims to give decisions like
run-out and stump-out. Tkinter is used to develop the GUI of
DRS. Object classification and object recognition is
implemented using Histogram of Gradients (HOG) and
Support Vector Machine (SVM). To detect the cricket ball
from the video we optimized and used frame subtraction,
contour detection and minimum enclosing circle algorithms
using OpenCV library. Linear regression and quadratic
regression are used to track and predict the motion of the ball
from video source. VPython is used for the visual
representation.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON GLASS FIBER REINFORCED GYPSUM (GFRG) PANELS FILLED WITH ALTERNATE CONCRETE MIX USING FLY ASH

There is a substantial growing demand for
housing in India as the population increase rate is
skyrocketing. More and more people are shifting from
rural to urban areas day by day, making urban areas
denser. The Ministry of Rural Development assessed that
India's rustic housing lack remains at 44 million dwelling
units. India's metropolitan housing lack has risen 54
percent to 29 million out of 2018 from 18.78 million of
every 2012, of which 96% relates to Economically Weaker
Section (EWS) and Low-Income Group (LIG) type,
according to the gauge of the Ministry of Housing and
Urban Poverty Alleviation.
To address these difficulties, India requires innovative,
energy-effective structure materials for a reliable, quick,
and tough housing strategy for development at a moderate
expense. It is likewise significant that housing structures
are catastrophes impervious to secure individuals' lives
and properties. Every one of these worries is engaged with
a maintainable and comprehensive turn of events. One
such strategy to accomplish that is by utilizing Glass Fiber
Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) panels. They serve the
purpose of fast construction and be cost-efficient,
earthquake-resistant, best suitable for the financially
Indian backward class of people and in the country's
earthquake-prone regions like Gujarat.
The phosphogypsum's effective disposal is achieved
through the Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG)
panel, also known as Rapid wall. These can be used as
load-bearing as well as non-load-bearing structures. To
use GFRG in load-bearing buildings, M20grade concrete is
used as a filling material to overcome the hurdles provided
by gravity and other factors. M20 grade concrete is used in
these panels to satisfy the minimum requirements
mentioned in IS 456:2000.

Encryption and Decryption of different files by
various cryptography methods has been studied by the
R&D community for years.
Cryptography methodology has
advanced considerably throughout the years, and plenty
of encrypting techniques are currently offered to be used
as per the necessity. Also, there has recent development in
these techniques to satisfy the ever increasing demand of
providing higher and economical security of the info.
Having such a big amount of cryptography ways makes
it very exhausting to settle on one. Though selecting the
correct encryption methodology as per the necessity is
incredibly necessary. In this paper, we have analysed and
studied different encryption methods like AES, DES, RSA,
Blowfish and Twofish for different types of files like Docs,
PDFs, Images, Audio, and Video. The end result is
concluded based on the different performance parameters
and a brief and clear conclusion is made for each method.

ECG signal is a physiological signal mainly used
for the diagnosis of abnormalities in the functioning of the
heart. There are limitations in detecting the nonlinearities
due to the presence of noises in the ECG signal. In our
work, the de-noised signal coefficients obtained from
different de-noising methods are optimized for reducing
the error and redundancy, and are then classified as
normal or abnormal signals. The ECG signal is obtained
from the PhysioBank dataset and the MIT-BIH
arrhythmia database. The two methods used are the
Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and the Discrete
Wavelet Transform (DWT). The optimization is done
using Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm and the classification
is performed by Feed Forward Neural Network using back
propagation (FFBP). The performances are evaluated in
terms of standard metrics namely, Mean Square Error
(MSE) and Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR). The results suggest
that although SWT performs better than other de-noising
techniques, the two methods correctly classify the given
ECG signal of a monitored patient as a normal or
abnormal signal.

Published: October 2021

Nowadays, the number of buildings is
constructed and designed according to the requirements
and aesthetic viewpoints of the buildings every day. Most
buildings are constructed in a certain spatial
configuration, such as X-shaped, V-shaped, and the x and
y coordinates are not parallel to the structure. The
earthquake caused more damage to the different
structures of the building. The main problem is the
slenderness ratio. The main purpose of this project is to
compare the dynamic characteristics of buildings with
different structural configurations in seismic zones and soil
types. In this study, a 12-story space configuration
structure was considered, and the height of 3m on each
floor did not exceed 36m, with shear walls and supports at
different positions of the building. The dynamic behaviour
of buildings in all seismic zones of magnitude III and on
different types of soil (such as media) is studied. The
structure has peripheral beams that carry RC shear walls
with a thickness of 230 mm. The response spectrum
analysis was carried out by using software of ETABS
