Temporal Pattern Analysis of Local Rainstorm Events in China During the Flood Season Based on Time Series Clustering
Authors: Wang Fan
Published: March 2020

Similar to the rainfall depth, duration and intensity, the temporal pattern is also an important characteristic of rainstorm events. Studies have shown that temporal patterns will influence runoff modelling, flash flood warning thresholds as well as urban and infrastructure flood inundation simulations. In this study, a time series clustering method using dynamic time warping (DTW) as similarity measurement criteria is proposed to analyze rainfall temporal patterns. Compared with the existing approaches, it can better reflect the real rainfall processes. Based on this novel method, five representative temporal patterns were extracted from 13,299 rainstorm events during the flood season in China. Through the analysis of their statistical characteristics, the disaster-causing risks of each temporal pattern were compared. Furthermore, we found that for rainstorm events whose durations are less than 24 h, the rainfall is mainly concentrated in 3 to 6 h, which proposes higher requirements for the design of flood control and drainage projects compared with those using average intensities of 12 or 24 h as design standards. Finally, through regional analysis, we found that the rainfall depth, intensity and peak value are affected by the macroclimate. However, the temporal patterns are not strongly related to the macroclimate but are more likely to be affected by the local climate and topography, which needs further studies at smaller scales.

Published: March 2020

The cannulation technique of a hemodialysis vascular access has remained controversial with differing viewpoints. The quality of dialysis, overall patient safety, and individual dialysis experience often dictate the type of cannulation technique used in clinical practice. The three commonly used techniques to access a hemodialysis vascular access are the rope ladder, area, and buttonhole. Although the buttonhole technique has been around since the mid-1970s, the dialysis community remains divided on its suitability for routine use to provide maintenance hemodialysis therapy. The proponents of this technique value the ease of cannulation with less pain and discomfort whereas the opponents highlight the increased risk of infection. The actual clinical evidence from the United States is limited and remains inconclusive. The current review provides an overview of the available experience from the United States, highlighting the correct technique of creating a buttonhole, summarizing the current evidence, and recommending a need for larger randomized controlled studies in both in-center and home hemodialysis populations.

Published: March 2020

The degree subtraction adjacency matrix of a graph G is a square matrix DSA(G)=[dij], in which dij=d(vi)-d(vj), if the vertices vi and vj are adjacent and dij=0, otherwise, where d(u) is the degree of a vertex u. The DSA energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of DSA matrix. In this paper, we obtain the characteristic polynomial of the DSA matrix of graphs obtained from the complete graph. Further we study the DSA energy of these graphs.
State Legislatures Have the Courage to Pass Antiabortion Laws and Test the Ideology of the “New” United States Supreme Court
Authors: Oeding Jill
Published: March 2020

Many state legislatures are racing to pass antiabortion laws that will give the current Supreme Court the opportunity to review its stance on the alleged constitutional right to have an abortion. While the number of abortions reported to be performed annually in the United States has declined over the last decade, according to the most recent government-reported data, the number of abortions performed on an annual basis is still over 600,000 per year. Abortion has been legal in the United States since 1973, when the Supreme Court recognized a constitutional right to have an abortion prior to viability (i.e. the time when a baby could possibly live outside the mother’s womb). States currently have the right to forbid abortions after viability.  However, prior to viability, states may not place an “undue burden” in the path of a woman seeking an abortion. The recent appointments of two new Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsich and Brett Kavanaugh, give pro-life states the best chance in decades to overrule the current abortion precedent. The question is whether these two new justices will shift the ideology of the court enough to overrule the current abortion precedent.

The State of Indonesia as an archipelago with thousands of ethnic groups with a variety of different cultural customs in indigenous groups and local wisdom makes the State of Indonesia famous as a country rich in ethnicisity. The existence of indigenous community in various laws and regulations including the Constitution recognizes the existence of indigenous community and even the constitution mandates separate regulations in the form of laws to protect the existence of them and their customary rights. However, in practice in social life, their existence has not yet received serious protection from the government. This can be seen from the fact that not all regional heads inventoried and made local regulations related to indigenous community and local wisdom in their area and the rights of indigenous community to their customary territories are often disturbed by the rights granted by the laws and regulations made by the State. Whereas the state's recognition of the existence of customary law communities has been regulated in various national laws and regulations even in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, namely in the 1945 Constitution Article 18B paragraph (2) containing that the State recognizes and respects community units customary law and traditional rights as long as they are still alive and in accordance with the development of society and the principles of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia as stipulated in the law.

Changes in land use not only affect the hydrological component, but also have an impact on the environmental sector, which include increasing the frequency of flooding and inundation, decreasing the availability of subsurface water, and drying up community wells. Various attempts have been made in efforts to reduce flooding and maintain sources of subsurface water, for example by applying infiltration well technology in each settlement. Infiltration wells will be able to function to re-enter rainwater falling on the pavement and can reduce flooding and inundation. This research is conducted with an empirical model that is connecting the amount of runoff that occurs after the availability of recharge wells. The purpose of this research is to get the ability of infiltration wells to reduce the occurrence of flooding in an area. The data used in the analysis are rain data and soil texture data. Based on the analysis results obtained dimensions of 0.8 m, 1 m and 1.2 m infiltration wells with a depth of 2 m. The depth of ground water level is 1.94 m, the permeability value (k) of land is 0.24 x 10ˉ⁴ m / sec. From each of the infiltration well diameters, it can reduce the successive runoff namely; infiltration wells are 0.8 m in diameter from runoff of 0.479 m³ / sec and after an infiltration well is reduced to 0.057m³ / sec, infiltration wells diameter 1.2 from runoff is 0.401 m³ / sec and after an infiltration well is reduced to 0.0475 m / second, and in the diater infiltration well 2 m from runoff of 0.377 m³ / sec and after the infiltration well is reduced to 0.0571 m / sec.

Exploring pre-service teachers’ beliefs about motivated pre-laboratory learning
Authors: Reyes-González David
Published: March 2020

Since practical activities are important at formative level, is fundamental that pre-service teacher gain adequate pedagogical content knowledge and achieve to enhance the skills and learning that derived from laboratories to serve as good guides for their future students. In that sense, the perceptions of academic staff in charge of carrying out the laboratories is that students do not prepare properly for the experimental work. However, this has not been systematically explores even though it is recognized as an old problem. This work aims to study the effect and the role of motivation on the preparation of laboratories. In accordance with Motivated Learning Model, a convenient way to study the role of motivation during learning is through thoughts and beliefs. Here we used the Theory of Planned Behavior to conduct an elicitation study to identify transversal beliefs of pre-service chemistry teacher from four universities about motivated learning of laboratories. A set of accessible beliefs transversal to all the universities was obtained in the field of attitudinal beliefs, normative beliefs and control beliefs. The analysis suggest that students of pedagogy in chemistry, transversally, do not perceive that preparing the laboratories would have apparent disadvantages. Comparing normative and attitudinal beliefs with control beliefs, a major range of beliefs elicited; four obstacles and two factors that could facilitate performing the behavior. Time management, academic and nonacademic activities are perceived as factors that could inhibit the preparation of laboratory sessions. In addition, student’s beliefs that to prepare laboratory improves the performance of laboratory, thus they feel more confident before staring the laboratory sessions. The insights gained from this study may be of assistance to improve chemistry laboratory preparation, either to improve concepts, procedures and attitudes of students toward chemistry laboratory
Lawyers as Meddlers in the Mediation Process - A Malaysian Perspective
Authors: Siong Wong Hua
Published: March 2020

Objective - The scope of a lawyer’s role is common knowledge and is often construed as one who advises on the application of the law, especially in the area of litigation or conveyancing. Nevertheless, it is pertinent to consider the role of a lawyer in mediation and the link between lawyer and mediation.
Methodology/Technique – Mediation as a form of dispute resolution is arguably still at its infancy in Malaysia. Judges in Malaysia do encourage people to use mediation to settle disputes, instead of settling disputes through the court. As such, lawyers play a significant role in mediation, especially when the society regards mediation to be one effective mechanism of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), compared to litigation.
Findings - As such, the term ‘mediation’ refers to a process that generates structure negotiation, whereby a mediator (a neutral impartial third party that is acceptable to and independent of the parties) serves to facilitate agreement between the parties involved to resolve their disputes in a systematic manner by isolating the dispute issues, developing alternatives, and reaching a viable and acceptable resolution that satisfy the involved parties. Since the mediator plays the role in the mediation process, how does a lawyer play his role in the mediation process? Does he serve as a meddler in the mediation process?
Novelty – A mediator claimed, “…involvement of solicitors is significant. They comprehend the dynamics of positive engagement, apart from having the ability and being prepared for a constructive negotiation so as to look for resolutions, rather than reinforcing litigation. They possess the ability to offer advice and provide guidance to their clients as they seize the opportunity to bring matter to an end. This is an exceptional instance of professionalism at its best.” This statement has become, at present time, ‘how does a lawyer apply his present skills in mediation settlement?

Optimal Route in International Transportation of Thailand – Guangxi (China)
Authors: Krebs Nathathai , Panichakarn Boonsub
Published: March 2020

Objective - This study examines the selection of international transportation routes from Thailand to Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (Guangxi), People's Republic of China. Guangxi has been designated a significant role as the gateway to ASEAN and has several land borders and seaports connecting to countries in ASEAN. Methodology/Technique - In this work, we studied 6 connecting routes, 3 of which are road routes, namely routes R8, R9, and R12 and 3 other multimodal (road-sea) routes operating from/to Laemchabang port and Nanning of Guangxi, route through Haiphong port of Vietnam, route through Qinzhou port of China, and route through Guangzhou port of China. We analysed the data using the Cost/Time Distance Model, in combination with surveys and in-depth interviews, to investigate the limitations and benefits of each route. Findings - Base on costs in 2017, we found that sea routes have much lower costs than the land routes in general; the lowest cost is route through Qinzhou port. On the other hand, the time used in transportation is much shorter for the land routes; the shortest route is the R12 route. Furthermore, in terms of limitations and benefits, we found that the Qinzhou route has many limitations such as long custom processes for fruit and agricultural products and no backhaul cargo. Meanwhile, the limitations for route R8 include crossing Mekong river on truck ferries and the presence of very steep mountain roads in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Route R12 winds down the mountain both in Vietnam and Laos, whereas route R9 is advantageous; most of that route has a flat terrain and is operated under the Cross-Border Transport Agreement (CBTA). The route through Haiphong port is also advantageous with a direct highway from Haiphong to Hanoi of Vietnam. In conclusion, it is suggested that road transportation is more efficient than sea transportation. Novelty - Further consideration among road routes and, with emphasis on costs and time, the best route is then route R12. However, if one is concerned with risk of damage to products, then route R9 is the best. The optimal route from Thailand to Guangxi depends on the conditions and decision criteria of the stakeholders. Type of Paper - Empirical. Keywords: International Transportation; Multimodal Transportation; Cost/time Distance Model; Guangxi (China); Road Transportation; Sea Transportation. JEL Classification: F02, F10, F19.

Recently, Reversible Data Hiding (RDH) techniques has gained much attention in many sensitive fields such as remote sensing, archive management, military and medical image processing systems. This is due to the lossless data extraction ability of RDH schemes. The primary goal of RDH schemes is to achieve high embedding rates while maintaining the quality of cover objects. For achieving better performance, Pixel Value Ordering (PVO) based reversible data hiding schemes have been proposed. PVO refers to the process of ranking the pixels in blocks and then modifying the pixels according to some embedding rules/conditions. So far, the existing PVO techniques have considered neighborhood pixels at unit distance. In this paper, an improved RDH using block based PVO scheme is proposed which exploits the pixel correlation efficiently by increasing the block size and applying a novel Median Pixel based Block Selection Strategy (MPBS). When block size is increased, the ordering of pixels is changed after embedding. So, to extract the secret data in a lossless manner, the secret bits are swapped in accordance with their corresponding Stego pixels’ index order. Also, the overflow and underflow conditions are effectively handled using Location Map. Experimental results show the better performance of the proposed RDH technique with the existing technique.

Detection of sub-graphs in community graphs is an important task and useful for characterizing community graphs. This characterization leads to classification as well as clusterings of community graphs. It also leads to finding differences among a set of community graphs as well as buildings of indices of community graphs. Finally, this characterization leads discovery of knowledge from sub-graphs. This proposed approach of detection of a sub-community graph from a group of community graphs using simple graph theory techniques. So, that knowledge could be discovered from the sub-community graph detected in a set of community graphs. The proposed algorithm has been implemented with two examples including one benchmark network and observed satisfactory results.

Now a days, Vehicle tracking system plays a major role in our daily life. As the technology grows, vehicle thefts are increasing enormously. This paper proposes to design an embedded system which is used to track and position any vehicle by using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global system for mobile communication (GSM). This helps in monitoring and reporting the status of the moving Vehicle on demand continuously. So, ATMEGA328 microcontroller is serially interfaced to a GSM Modem and GPS Receiver through serial communication protocol RS 232. In this, driver circuit is used to covert TTL voltages into RS 232 voltage levels. Identifying the position of the remote vehicle is done by GPS modem continuously. The current location details like vehicle longitudes and latitudes of the remote vehicle is sent through GSM modem. The output is acquired from GPS modem and displayed on the LCD display. The same data is transmitted to the mobile at the other end from where the position of the vehicle is demanded. Based on the request placed by the user, the position of the vehicle is automatically sent to the corresponding mobile number. So, this project has been implemented to identify lost vehicle, know the status of moving vehicle from remote location and send the information to the user's mobile number.

Nanoparticles and nano-fluids are having its significant role in transforming and improvising the existing tools and techniques of science and other research. This experimental study deals with the parametric analysis of Al2O3 of size 20-30 nm and CuO of size 30-50 nm nanoparticles to improve the effectiveness of a shell and tube heat exchanger. Nanoparticles used in heat exchangers improved performance through better heat transfer characteristics. An experimental investigation was done on the forced convective heat transfer and flow characteristics of the nano-fluid flowing in a horizontal shell and tube heat exchanger under turbulent flow conditions. The heat transfer of nano-fluid is found higher than that of the base liquid at same mass flow rate and temperature difference. The heat transfer thus heat transfer parameters increases with an increase in volume concentration up to 1.6 % after which heat transfer decreases due to viscosity effects.

An experimental program was designed to study the behavior of full-scale hollow core slabs prestressed with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars in the concrete laboratory at the college of engineering, Mataria, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt. The hollow core slabs were load-tested under uniformly distributed load. The GFRP bars were manufactured from locally available materials with a 10 mm nominal diameter. To improve the bond properties between the bars and concrete, GFRP threads were axially wrapped around the bars manually. The mechanical properties of the bars were investigated in the laboratory. The bars average ultimate tensile strength (fu) and elastic modulus (E) were 1000 MPa and 46 GPa, respectively. Four full-scale concrete hollow core slab specimens with characteristic strength of 80 MPa were constructed and solely reinforced with a single prestressed GFRP bar. Each slab specimen represented one complete vent with a width of 140 mm, 150 mm thickness and 4000 mm total length. These specimens were simply supported during the experiments where the GFRP bar was placed at the centerline of the vent near the soffit. The Bars were prestressed to different stress levels, namely (10, 20, 30 and 40%) of their ultimate tensile strength (fu). All slab specimens were load-tested under uniformly distributed load. The deflection, strain and crack pattern were investigated during load-testing. From the obtained results, it was observed that the optimum prestressing level was 20% of the ultimate tensile strength of the bar for both the moment carrying capacity and the deformation.

the actual increase in global industrial production and manufacturing, produces a continuous increase in amount of industrial waste and continues to emit an all-time high amount of air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions. To fight and mitigate these phenomena, proper Waste Management became the pillar of most environmental strategies worldwide. By reduction of consumption, re-use of goods and recycling of products, waste management aims to preserve the resources and to protect the environment. The Cement industry is one of the most important industrial sectors for society development; however it also has significant negative environmental impacts due to its emissions and production of waste. Cement kiln dust (CKD) is an industrial waste or by product which results from cement manufacturing. CKD is fine grained, solid, highly alkaline particulate material chiefly composed of oxidized, anhydrous, micron-sized particles collected from electrostatic precipitators during the production of cement clinker. This research examines the effects of using large amounts of CKD to replace the cement content in the fabrication of solid cement bricks. It is triggered by the quadruple objectives of reducing the amount of cement consumption, disposing efficiently of its industrial waste and producing economic bricks with safe strength. The purpose of this paper is to assess the properties of solid cement bricks containing different amounts of CKD. Cement bricks produced using different amounts of CKD were tested to find their properties and final comparison has been made to identify the effect of using different CKD/Cement ratio on the performance of bricks compared to the reference specimen produced using cement only with no CKD. For the brick mixes, Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), with two cement content of 200kg/m3 and 250kg/m3 were used throughout this investigation. The physical properties; unit weight, water absorption and mechanical properties; compressive strength, flexural strength, of the produced bricks were determined. Results showed that partial replacement of OPC with CKD reduces the brick compressive strength by 18% to 23% for CKD/OPC ratio of 30% and by 36% for CKD/OPC ratio of 50% and in all cases the strength remains largely higher than the standard limit for load bearing bricks.
