Lethal and sublethal effects of ten insecticides, used in date palm production in Saudi Arabia, on the parasitoid Trichogramma cacoeciae
Authors: Hajjar M. Jamal , Al-Masoud M.
Published: August 2018

Lethal and sublethal effects of ten insecticides commonly used in date palm production in Saudi Arabia were assessed in the laboratory against adults of Trichogramma cacoeciae, an important egg parasitoid of the dried fruit moth Ephestia calidella. Bioassays were conducted according to the standard protocol of the International Organization for Biological Control IOBC/WPRS/Working Group ‘Pesticides and Beneficial Organisms’. Our results showed that cypermethrin, deltamethrin, malathion, phenthoate, methomyl, and carbosulfan were moderately harmful (IOBC Class 3) to the parasitoid. The botanical insecticides azadirachtin and matrine were moderately harmful (IOBC Class 3) and slightly harmful (IOBC Class 2), respectively. The insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen was slightly harmful, whereas bistrifluron was harmless (IOBC Class 1). Regarding sublethal effects, the parasitism ratios compared to control were reduced by pyriproxyfen and azadirachtin to 49.0% and 58.0%, respectively; hence they are classified as slightly harmful insecticides (IOBC Class 2). Bistrifluron and matrine were harmless (IOBC Class 1) as parasitism ratios were reduced by 9.2% and 27.6%, respectively. Longevity of adults exposed to bistrifluron and matrine (3.6 and 3.3 days, respectively) and to pyriproxyfen and azadirachtin (1.7 and 1.3 days, respectively) was significantly lower than that in control (4.67 days). In semi-field tests, residues of most insecticides on leaves of tomato, a common host plant of lepidopteran pests parasitized by T. cacoeciae, were considered moderately harmful to harmful based on parasitoid mortality at 24 h post-treatment whereas they were slightly harmful at 7 and 14 days post-treatment

Authors: Petri K. , Bandow N , Witte K
Published: August 2018

This article discusses the development and application of virtual environments (VEs) in the domain of exercise as well as research in recreational and high-performance sports. A special focus is put on the use of virtual characters (VCs). For its elaboration, the following criteria parameters were chosen: scene content and the role of the VC, output device, kind of additional feedback, level of expertise of the tested participants, kind of user’s movement (reaction), kind of the visualization of the user’s body, kind of study and kind of evaluation. We explored the role of VCs embodying virtual opponents, teammates, or coaches in sports. We divided these VCs in passive and autonomous characters. Passive VCs are not affected by the user, whereas autonomous VCs adapt autonomously to the user’s movements and positions. We identified 44 sport related VEs, thereof 22 each in the domain of recreational sports and high-performance sports: of the identified 44 VEs, 19 VEs are without VC, 20 VEs with passive VCs, and 5 VEs with autonomous VCs. We categorized studies examining expert athletes in high-performance sports as well as studies analyzing novices, beginners or advanced athletes in recreational sports. Nevertheless, all identified systems are suitable for athletes of recreational and high-performance level
On run-length limited error control codes constructed from binary product codes
Authors: Farkaš Peter , Janvars Tomáš , Farkašová Katarína , Ružický Eugen
Published: August 2018

In this paper it is presented that run-length limited error control codes could be constructed from any two or more- dimensional binary product codes as long as at least one of the one-dimensional binary component codes is or can be converted to a run-length limited error control code. The advantages of this construction are as follows: It does not require any additional redundancy except that which is already contained in the original error control code and that the encoding and decoding procedure used for the underlying error control code do not to be changed
A note on ”a note on the magnetic vector potential”
Authors: Šumichrast L’ubomír , Dosoudil Rastislav
Published: August 2018

In the recently published short paper author deals with the derivation of the scalar potential pertaining to the point charge as well as of the vector potential pertaining to the point current. He shows his alternative approach and compares it to the ”traditional” methods commonly used in textbooks. Here we want to show that use of the generalised functions (symbolic functions, distributions) in the domain of electromagnetic field theory provides more straightforward and more rigorous approach to the problem.
The Troubled Pasts of Hungarian and German Minorities in Slovakia and Their Representation in Museums
Authors: Juhászová Tereza
Published: August 2018

In the 20th century, the two world wars reshaped the map of Central Europe as well as the status of Central Europe’s diverse societies. In my article, I focus on the Hungarian and German minorities in Slovakia and the representation of their problematic historical past in contemporary Slovak museums. More specifically, I zoom in on the exhibition Exchanged Homes displayed in Bratislava, which aims to commemorate the fate of Hungarians, Germans, and Slovaks, all of whom were affected by the population transfers after World War II. Based on the concept of memorial museums theorized by Paul Williams, I aim to show how the different exhibitions engage with the traumatic past of forceful resettlement. By offering multifaceted memories of a troubled past, these exhibitions avoid categorizing “victims” and “perpetrators” along national or ethnic lines. My paper thus analyzes the concepts and components of the exhibitions—the context of the postwar events, oral history interviews, and objects of everyday use that should bring the visitor closer to the experience of the people who were forced to leave. I argue that exhibitions of this sort have the ability to challenge the dominant historical narrative focusing on a national “Slovak” history and help the process of reconciliation between the Slovak majority society, and the Hungarian and German minorities.
US–Kenya Economic Relations under Obama and Their Image in the Kenyan News Discourse
Authors: Řehák Vilém
Published: August 2018

Economic cooperation between the US and Kenya has reflected the ups and downs in the relations between the two countries. Since independence, both countries have converged on security issues and diverged on questions of democracy and human rights. When Barack Obama was elected as the President of the US, Kenya expected to get an “Obama bonus” in the form of closer trade and investment cooperation. This article analyzes what is the image of US–Kenya economic relations in the news discourse. The analysis reveals that three different and competing narratives are present in the news discourse in Kenya. The US disseminates a narrative that economy, security, good governance and human resources are four interconnected and mutually reinforcing pillars of African development; Kenya must make progress in all these four pillars, and the US is ready to help Kenya. Kenyan leaders seem to internalize the economic part of the narrative and accept the nexus between economy and security, but they reject the nexus between economy and political issues. Finally, the Kenyan society internalizes both these narratives, albeit to a different degree, with the latter prevailing over the former. However, it also produces its own narrative, which presents current US–Kenya economic relations in a different perspective. The whole US engagement in Kenya hardly goes beyond the symbolical level. It is driven by US economic interests and competition with China, while there is no “Obama bonus” for Kenya.
Spatial perspectives on babies’ ways of belonging in infant early childhood education and care
Authors: Sumsion Jennifer , Harrison Linda J. , Stapleton Matthew
Published: August 2018

In this article, we endeavour to think spatially about the texture of infants’ everyday lives and their ways of ‘doing’ belonging in the babies’ room in an Australian early childhood education and care centre. Drawing on data from a large, multiple case-study project, and on theorisations of space that reject Euclidean notions of space as empty, transparent, relatively inert containers into which people, objects practices and artefacts are inserted, and instead emphasise space as complex, dynamic and relational, we map the navigating movements (Massumi, 2002) of baby Nadia. Through the telling of ‘stories-so-far’ (Massey, 2005), we convey how Nadia, as part of a constellation or assemblage of human and non-human beings, found ways to intensify space and to mobilise new vantage points, thus expanding the spatial possibilities of what we initially took to be a particularly confined and confining space.
Approaching the complex spatialities of early childhood education and care systems from the position of the child
Authors: Bollig Sabine
Published: August 2018

This paper proposes a way to understand what early care and education systems look like from the vantage point of the child. In other words, it aims to fuse a system perspective and a child perspective of early childhood education and care (ECEC) in a way that acknowledges children as active co-producers of ECEC landscapes. In developing this approach, I emphasize that children’s individual education and care arrangements which combine certain ECEC settings and the family are to be understood as networks of relations. As such, these child, family and ECEC relations create particular spatialities and temporalities which in turn position children very differently within the field of early education and care. To conceptualize how this takes place in children’s everyday activities, I refer to Schatzki’s and Massey’s relational thinking about practices, spaces, time and multiple identities with special emphasis on the spatial relations that are ‘beyond’ certain localities and (re)produced in the ‘events of place’. How this helps to understand the ways in which ECEC systems look from the position of the child will get exemplified in regard to Luxembourg’s complex ‘double split system’ of ECEC and its complex language terrain.

Authors: Shedam M. R. , Patil S. S. , Shedam Rakesh M. , Mathad Shridhar N.
Published: August 2018

The objective of the present paper is to demonstrate the effect of sol-gel derived scratch resistant coatings on different metal surfaces for anticorrosive applications. However, practical applications are limited by problems intrinsic to sol-gel processing or specific of coating/metal systems. Coatings aimed to improve oxidation and wet corrosion resistance have been studied the most. The results published in the literature show that sol-gel coatings may offer good protection against oxidation. More difficult is to achieve a protection against wet corrosion. An important aspect of the application of the sol-gel method for coating metallic objects is also the deposition technique.

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of season and number of parity on the reproductive performance of sows kept on a commercial farm. To achieve this objective, 800 nrs productive parent sows and a total of 958 parities were analyzed. The results show that sow’s breeding season had a significant effect on the weaning-to-oestrus interval, the farrowing rate, the litter size and weaning piglets with positive results during autumn, winter and spring seasons. The number of parity has a significant effect on the weaning-to-oestrus interval, litter size and weaning piglets with acceptable values in sows with more farrowing. The results of this study on a pig farm with analysis which highlights the risk factors associated with reproductive performance of sows, could be used to improve sow farm practices.
Non Wi-Fi Devices Interference Testing in a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Home
Authors: Sârbu Annamaria , Sârbu Marius , Șumălan Cosmin
Published: August 2018

Operating in probably the most crowded radio frequency bandwidth, the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is still common in the majority of living environments. Besides having to face problems regarding co-channel and adjacent channel influence, Wi-Fi often coexists with other radio technologies operating in this bandwidth which makes it ideal for interference testing.

In this article authors propose the use of freely available mobile applications to measure Wi-Fi signal spreading within a residential home as well as to quantify Wi-Fi performance in the presence of some commonly available interferers. A complete analysis of spectrum use is also provided by using a spectrum analyzer. We have found that Wi-Fi throughput degradation due to Bluetooth technology operated in the immediate vicinity of a mobile client is on average 26,5 % and decreases with distance from the Wi-Fi client. The presence of an active video baby monitor leads to a 7,5 % throughput degradation, but its functionality in heavy Wi-Fi traffic environment is however limited. The use of spectrograms in interference analysis is essential for a better understanding of the measured results.
Breast size impact on adjuvant radiotherapy adverse effects and dose parameters in treatment planning
Authors: Ratosa Ivica , Jenko Aljasa , Oblak Irena
Published: August 2018

Background

Breast radiotherapy is an established adjuvant treatment after breast conserving surgery. One of the important individual factors affecting the final cosmetic outcome after radiation is breast size. The purpose of this review is to summarise the clinical toxicity profile of adjuvant radiotherapy in women with breasts of various sizes, and to evaluate the treatment planning studies comparing target coverage and dose to thoracic organs at risk in relation to breast size.

Conclusions

Inhomogeneity and excessive radiation dose (hot spots) in the planning of target volume as well as large volume of the breast per se, all contribute to a higher rate of acute adverse events and suboptimal final cosmetic outcome in adjuvant breast cancer radiotherapy, regardless of the fractionation schedule. Improved homogeneity leads to a lower rate of ≥ grade 2 toxicity and can be achieved with three-dimensional conformal or modulated radiotherapy techniques. There may be an association between body habitus (higher body mass index, bigger breast size, pendulous breast, and large chest wall separation) and a higher mean dose to the ipsilateral lung and whole heart. A combination of the technical innovations (i.e. the breath-hold technique, prone position with or without holding breath, lateral decubitus position, and thermoplastic bra), dose prescription (i.e. moderate hypofractionation), and irradiated volume (i.e. partial breast irradiation) should be tailored to every single patient in clinical practice to mitigate the risk of radiation adverse effects.
Serum hs-CRP, YKL-40 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) associated biomarkers in non-dipper hypertension profile?
Authors: Ţilea Ioan , Varga Andreea , Voidăzan Septimiu , Huţanu Adina
Published: August 2018

Background: Twenty-four hours dynamic blood pressure (BP) behaviour displays dipper profile defined as nocturnal systolic BP (SBP) reduction>10% compared to daytime. Non-dipper profile, nocturnal absence of SBP fall, associates an increased cardiovascular risk. We investigated the concomitant association of inflammatory bio-markers - high-sensitivity- C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), Human Chitinase3-like1 (YKL-40) and autonomic nervous system (total brain-derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF) with respect to non-dipping blood pressure status.

Material and method: Using 24h automatic BP measurements, 80 known hypertensive patients were divided into two groups: dipper group included fifty-one dipper patients (age 55.6 ±13.5 years) and non-dipper group consisted of 29 non-dipper subjects (62.07±12.03 years). Serum levels of hs-CRP were evaluated with enhanced immunoturbidimetric assay. Plasma levels of YKL-40 were measured by commercial sandwich ELISA using microplate coated with a monoclonal antibody for CHI3L1. Plasma levels of total BDNF were determined using quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay. Statistical analysis of obtained data was performed.

Results: In the non-dipper group, a significant positive association with age over 60 years, hs-CRP values above 1.90 mg/dl was observed along with increased mean values of YKL-40. Non-dipper status is independently and statistically significantly associated with elevated levels of hs-CRP (OR: 3.248, 95% CI: 1.022-10.317, p=0.046) in multivariate odds ratio analysis. No statistically significant positive association between a median total BDNF plasma level of 1430 pg/ml and the non-dipper hypertension profile was identified.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that patients over 60 years, in particular, have a higher probability to present a non-dipping pattern of hypertension. hs-CRP and YKL-40 values are more likely to increase in the non-dipping hypertensive patients, and hs-CRP values above 1.9 mg/dl can identify the presence of a non-dipper blood pressure profile.
Mixture of Crushed- Stone Aggregate as Material For Substructure Layers
Authors: Hydzik-Wiśniewska Joanna , Wilk Anna , Bednarek Łukasz , OIesiak Sebastian
Published: August 2018

One of the most important elements of road construction is its substructure, which constitutes the base on which the next layers of road are placed. Mixture of crushed-stone aggregate is very often used as material for substructure. The most frequently used type of aggregate is magma rocks, due to its good physical-mechanical properties. However, it is not always available, so it is substituted by sandstone or even concrete rubble aggregates. The bearing ratio CBR is a parameter determining the suitability of a certain aggregate for road substructure. It is also one of the most popular quality tests of aggregate as it does not require complex apparatus. This paper analyses the results of physical and geotechnical tests with particular focus on CBR bearing ratio of crushed aggregates and their application as substructure for road construction. There has also been an attempt to find the correlation between CBR bearing ratio and other physical and geometrical properties.
Material damping ratio from free-vibration method

Published: August 2018

One important aspect of soil dynamics is attenuation or energy loses. This inherent dynamic property is essential in the analysis of soil behavior subjected to a dynamic load. Energy absorption in soils leads to the definition of an equivalent viscous damping ratio (D). In resonant column testing there are commonly two different approaches in measuring material damping: during a steady-state vibration (SSV), when the specimen is vibrated at its first mode; and during free-vibration decay (FVD). The study reports results associated with the small to medium strain range material damping from FVD method, i.e. there is a cut off the constant vibration of the specimen at resonance and the specimen is allowed to free-vibration mode while the decay strain amplitude during free-vibration is calculated. The experiments were conducted on cohesive soils (sasiCl, Cl, clSa) from various test sites located in Warsaw, Poland. All the specimens were subjected to torsional mode of vibration at their first natural frequency, at different mean effective stress. The authors paid particular attention to the number of successive cycles after the free-vibration of the material is initiated. They examined various propositions from the literature and compare the received damping values using different number of cycles of vibration. The results showed that the most stable values of material damping ratio can be obtained by selecting each time a line of best fit on the authors’ choice of number of free-vibration cycles. However, the number of these cycles should not exceed 10.

Authors: Kacprzak Grzegorz , Bodus Seweryn
Published: August 2018

In this paper, the problem of a pile-raft foundation of a high-rise building located in Warsaw in typical soil and water conditions was presented. In order to describe the soil–foundation interaction, regarding load distribution, an analysis was made based on finite element method (FEM) with the use of the hardening soil with small strain soil model (HSS) in the ZSoil and Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis (ARSA) program. The article contains basic information about the pile-raft foundation, description of ground-water conditions together with the estimated parameters for the HSS model of soil applied in ZSoil calculation. It also shows a block diagram, as a kind of algorithm, presenting the proceedings in designing, modelling and numerical analysis between ZSoil and ARSA program. Own load distribution analysis in CPRF elements based on the numerical procedure enables the comparison with the measurements results of the load distribution carried out by Mandolini with associates in 2005.
Determination of the heating pile numerical model parameters based on the laboratory strength tests of clay at low temperatures
Authors: Piotrowicz Bartosz , Jastrzębska Małgorzata , Łupieżowiec Marian
Published: August 2018

Heating piles combine the function of the foundation and the heat source. They acquire heat from the ground through in built the installation. Inside the installation is non-freezing liquid at low temperature. In connection with the above, piles and the surrounding soil are exposed to significant temperature changes. As a result of these changes, the mechanical parameters of the soil and the behavior of the pile and soil contact surface were changed. This affects directly the load capacity of the heating piles. To describe this effect, laboratory tests were carried out to determine the thermal and mechanical parameters of the soil at low temperatures. The results from laboratory tests were applied as material parameters in the Z_Soil program. Based on the analysis using the finite element method, it was found that there is an negative effect on the friction on the surface of pile associated with the heat transfer between the soil and the pile.
Optimum Tendon Placement for Post Tensioned S.S. Beam with Variable Eccentricity
Authors: Najem Rabi’ M.
Published: August 2018

A challenging problem for a direct search design methods was introduced in this work. Pattern Search PS method was used to find the optimum designed section of a prestressed simply supported post tensioned beam with variable tendon eccentricity. Flexural and geometrical design constraints were used to get the optimum sectional properties of the beam. Then, new constraints concerning the placement of the tendon through the longitudinal section of the beam were introduced and involved through finding the optimum results. A single objective function was used since a multi objective optimization procedure could not be run with nonlinear constraints, and optimizing a post tensioned beam with variable eccentricity represents a highly constraints problem. Another optimization method was used here only to check the validity of the procedure adopted using PS, the results were compared for the methods and a good agreement were found between them. Apparently, using the additional constraints of the tendon placement causes a lot of difficulties to find the optimum results, as it was noticed through the elapsed time of the solution, although, both methods gave a reliable and practical optimum values, and this is due to the robust use of the design constraints to limit the optimum designed variables within the ACI code 2011 limits. Increasing the efficiency of the solution was gained through using a lot of design constraints, in addition to the basic design constraints needed in the flexural design, to avoid trapping in local optima.

Published: August 2018

Mosul Dam is one of the important dams in Iraq, it suffers like other dams from the problem of sediment accumulation in the reservoir. The daily surface runoff was estimated from three main valleys (Sweedy, Crnold, Alsalam) in the right bank of the reservoir during the period 1/1/1988 - 31/8/2016 by applying SWAT model. The model performance was assessed and the results were good. The daily sediment load was estimated by three methods, Bagnold method was adopted in SWAT, while Toffaletti and Einstein methods were programed by MATLAB. The averages annual sediment load from the main valleys to the reservoir were 1.08×103 - 27.32×103, 0.08×104 - 10.41×104 and 0.44×105 - 28.66×105 tons for Bagnold, Toffaletti and Einstein methods respectively. The valley Sweedy is the main supplier of sediments to the right side of the reservoir with 89%.

Oil Sector Reform and the Proliferation of Corruption in Nigeria
Authors: Akinola Adeoye O
Published: August 2018

The endemic nature of corruption remains at the centre of discourses on economic development and good governance in Nigeria. While rich in oil resources, Nigeria has failed to transform its oil wealth into good governance due to poor oil management and unsuccessful oil reform, engendering contradictions that have worsened the economic status of the Nigerian citizenry. This article assesses the manifestation of corruption in the Nigerian downstream oil sector and explores stakeholdersâ€™ roles in oil corruption. The study reveals that oil reform and successive price increases are instruments for the proliferation of oil corruption. Therefore, corruption remains the most decisive impediment to effective reform and good governance in Nigeria.

Amaç: Göğüs ağrısı, koroner arter hastalıklarının (KAH) en sık semptomudur. Bununla birlikte koroner arter hastalığı dışında göğüs ağrısına sebep olabilen birçok neden bulunmaktadır. Göğüs ağrısı ayırıcı tanısının yapılmasında elektrokardiyografinin (EKG) oldukça önemli bir yeri vardır. Fragmante QRS (fQRS) ventrikül depolarizasyonunun sonucu olarak EKG de QRS kompleksinde çentiklenme olmasıdır. Bizim çalışmamızın amacı göğüs ağrısı ile polikliniğe başvuran hastalarda fQRS varlığı ile koroner arterlerde ciddi darlık olması arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Kardiyoloji polikliniğine göğüs ağrısı şikâyeti ile başvuran 256 hasta çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Hastalar koroner anjiyografi (KAG) sonucunda koroner arterlerde ciddi darlık olup olmamasına göre iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların EKG’leri incelenerek fQRS olup olmadığı kayıt edildi ve fQRS varlığı ile koroner arterlerde ciddi darlık olması arasındaki ilişki incelendi. Bulgular: Stabil anjina pektoris şikayeti bulunan 256 hastanın 78’ine (%30.4) KAG uygulandı ve bu hastaların 49’unda (%62.8) KAH tespit edildi. KAH olan gruptaki hastaların ve olmayan gruptaki hastaların EKG’sinde fQRS bulunma oranları sırası ile %36 ve %20.4 (p:0.019) olarak bulundu. Sonuç: fQRS’in koroner arterlerdeki sınırda darlıkları olan hastalardaki lezyonların ciddiyetini tespit etmede, Akut Kroner Sendrom (AKS) tanısını koymada ve AKS sonrası takiplerde mortaliteyi öngörmede başarılı olduğu daha önce yapılan çalışmalarda gösterilmiştir. Bizim çalışmamızda kardiyoloji polikliniğine göğüs ağrısı şikâyeti ile başvuran hastalardan koroner arterlerde ciddi darlık tespit edilenlerde fQRS bulunma oranı anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur.

Published: August 2018

We present a formalization of the first half of Bachmair and Ganzinger's chapter on resolution theorem proving in Isabelle/HOL, culminating with a refutationally complete first-order prover based on ordered resolution with literal selection. We develop general infrastructure and methodology that can form the basis of completeness proofs for related calculi, including superposition. Our work clarifies several of the fine points in the chapter's text, emphasizing the value of formal proofs in the field of automated reasoning.

Horse seed in the chess board movement resembles the letter L. The chess pieces are one of a very hard-driven beans and seeds are often also the most dangerous if not carefully considered every movement. Simulation of this problem provides a chess board size n x n. Target (goal) of this problem is to move a horse beans of a certain position on a chess board position to the desired destination with the shortest movement simulates all possible solutions to get to the goal position. This problem is also one of the classic problems in artificial intelligence (AI). Settlement of this problem can use the help system and tree production tracking.Therefore, designed a simulation applications by utilizing several techniques of simulation programming and Breadth-First Search method. With this method, all nodes will be traced and the nodes at level n will be visited first before visiting the nodes at level n + 1. The purpose of this study is to design a software that is able to find all the solutions for the shortest movement toward the goal position by using the system of production and tracking tree.Results from this paper is that the software is able to find all solutions shortest movement a horse beans from the initial position to the goal position and displays the simulation of the movement of the horse in the chess board.
Distance and Fuzzy Classifiers Alliance: The Solution to Off-line Arabic Signature Verification System for Forensic Science
Authors: Darwish Saad Mohamed , Noori Zainab H
Published: August 2018

Signature of a person is one of the most popular and legally accepted behavioral biometrics that provides secure means for verification and personal identification in many applications such as financial, commercial and legal transactions. The objective of the signature verification system is to classify between genuine and forgery that is often associated with intrapersonal and interpersonal variability. Unlike other languages, Arabic has unique features; it contains diacritics, ligatures, and overlapping.  Because of lacking any form of dynamic information during the Arabic signature writing process, it will be more difficult to obtain higher verification accuracy. This paper addresses the above difficulty by introducing a novel Off-Line Arabic signature verification algorithm. Different from state-of-the-art works that adopt one-level of verification or multiple classifiers based on statistical learning theory; this work employs two-level of fuzzy set related verification. The level one verification depends on finding the total difference between the features extracted from the test signature and the mean values of each corresponding features in the training signatures (owning the same signature). Whereas, the level two verification relies on the output of the fuzzy logic module depending on the membership functions that has been created from the signature features in the training dataset for a specific signer. It is concluded from the experimental results that the verification system performs well and has the ability to reduce both False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate (FRR).
Bio-inspired Expert System based on Genetic Algorithm for Printer Identification in Forensic Science
Authors: Darwish Saad Mohamed , ELgohary Hany M
Published: August 2018

Printer identification models are provided for the goal of distinguishing the printer that produced a suspicious imprinted document. Source identification of a published document can easily be a significant procedure intended for the forensic science. The arising problem is that the extraction of many features of the printed document for printer identification sometimes increases time and reduces the classification accuracy since a lot of the document features may come to be repetitive and non-beneficial. Distinct combinatorial collection of features will need to be acquired in order to preserve the most effective fusion to accomplish the maximum accuracy. This paper presents an intelligent machine learning algorithm for printer identification that adopts both of texture features formulated from gray level co-occurrence matrix of the printed letter ''WOO'' and genetic heuristic search to select the optimal reduced feature set. This integration aims to achieve high classification accuracy based on small group of discriminative features. For classification, the system utilizes k-nearest neighbors (KNN) to recognize the source model of the printer for its simplicity. Experimental results validate that the suggested system has high taxonomy accuracy and requires less computation time.

The application of science and technology (iptek) for society is one strategic way to encourage and to increase awareness about the significance of mangrove ecosystem for environment and human being. Ohoi Ngilngof is one ohoi (village) located in the Southeast Maluku District which is largely coastal area. One of the most perceived development activities that have crucial impact to the coastal environment in this region is the eviction of coastal land for expanding roads and constructing talud. This condition caused considerable pressure on the coastal area of Ohoi Ngilngof in general and particularly bring about crucial impact to the villagers. IbM activity process started with the phase of approach, and next activity are socialization, planting mangrove seedling, training (from selecting seed of mangrove seedlings to the treatment procedures) and assistance for partner of Soneratia and Rhizopora so that the output yielded from this activity is to restore the mangrove area of Mangi Ohoi Ngilngof into its original function as a place spawning, providing food, and its preservation to support the government program of Southeast Maluku District in preserving coastal areas.
