Railway is the most prominent and most economical way of transport. Majority of people depend on railways for transportation. Rail modes are most commonly used and very effective mode of commuting and goods carriage over long, short distances. In this paper, we are preparing a system in order to prevent the disasters which happen due to unmanned level crossing in the railways. For this system, Arduino Uno is used as the platform with ATMEGA16U2 as the microcontroller. In order to detect the train as well as the obstacles ultra-sonic sensors are used. When the train approaches the unmanned zone, ultrasonic sensor will detect the arrival of train which is kept 2 KM away from the railway crossing zone. The input of ultrasonic sensor is sent to Arduino Uno to activate the railway gates operated by DC motors. These gates are controlled or driven by motor driver circuit. If any obstacles are detected on the track can also be detected by the ultrasonic sensors which are kept at the gate and it will alert the train, with the help of led signal. Due to this led signal, the train will slow down the speed mechanically or even the train can stop if it's necessary. This system is demonstrated to prevent and stop the disaster at railway crossing zones.

Rail joint is the most vulnerable and weakest part in the rail structure. Bolted rail joints and welded rail joints are the most predominantly used rail joints. In recent times, continuous welded rail joints are widely used. The literature study exhibits that the performance of welded rail joints are comparatively better than the bolted rail joints. This project mainly deals with the fatigue behavior of welded rail joints subjected to normal speed, semi-high speed and high speed rail networks with respect to rail joint location on the sleeper. The rail joint kept on two conditions, mainly rail joint on top of the sleeper and rail joint in between the sleepers. The model was created and the respective finite element analyses were made in ANSYS Workbench software. The rail joint was analyzed for the movement of wheel load on the rail for all speed conditions mentioned. The butt joint was given at the region of rail joint and the fatigue life results were obtained in the analyses made in ANSYS Workbench. The analyses methods covers the rail and wheel model creation, application of corresponding loads and supports and the simulation results were obtained. The simulation results portrays that when the continuous welded rail joint is located on the sleeper, the fatigue life of the rail joint in both the normal speed and semi-high speed conditions is higher when compared to the fatigue life of rail joint in high speed condition. And also when the welded rail joints are located in between two sleepers the rail joint in high speed rail networks provide increased fatigue life when compared with the rail joints located in normal and semi high speed conditions. This research provides a beneficiary effect and serves as a base for increasing the fatigue life of the rail networks.

Rain is of uttermost importance for agriculture based economies. Most of the Asian countries, India in particular largely depend on a good rainfall. The prediction of rainfall will not only help government to make better future policies but also farmers and agro based companies can make better future management. Rainfall forecasting involves high degree of uncertainty and for such conditions fuzzy time series and other soft computing techniques are best to deal with. The utility of a forecasting method lies with the accuracy with the predicted values. In this paper rainfall prediction by fuzzy time series model is proposed in which two difference values of the interval corresponding to the fuzzified forecasted value is proposed. This model is tested on real time data of average monsoon rainfall in India. The predicted values are compared with Chen model. The results show that the proposed model have less error compared to Chen’s model.

In the design of any ALU, shift registers are generally used to perform addition (for carry movement), multiplication and for any floating point arithmetic. The shift registers currently used are made up of flip-flops which require n clock pulses for n shifts which can increase the delay. So, the aim is to design a high speed shift register i.e., barrel shifter which needs a single clock pulse for n shifts. In this paper, three types of Barrel shifter circuits called left rotator, right rotator and bidirectional rotators are designed in Cadence Virtuoso tool for 180nm and 45nm technology using universal gates (conventional model) and transmission gates. Compared to conventional design, the circuits of barrel shifters with transmission gates in 45nm technology require less power and reduced transistor count.The designed barrel shifter circuits are showing improved performance than conventional models already presented in the literature.

This paper explored a new part based gait recognition method to address the gait covariate factors. Firstly, three robust parts such as vertical-half, head, and lower leg are cropped from the Gait Energy Image (GEI). Since, these selected parts are not affected by the major gait covariates than other parts. Then, Radon transform is applied to each selected part. Next, standard deviations are computed for the specified radial lines (i.e. angles) such as 0 0 , 300 , 600 , 900 , 1200 and 1500 , since these radial lines cover the horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions. Lastly, fuse the features of three parts at feature level. Finally, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for the classification procedure. The considerable amount of experimental trails are conducted on standard gait datasets and also, the correct classification rates (CCR) have shown that our proposed part based representation is robust in the presence of gait covariates.

Marking Attendance is the most common way to know the physical presence of an individual. But it is challenging when it comes to manual attendance system, which is followed in most of the places. Calling out each student's registration number one by one is a tedious task. Day by Day the number of students in schools and universities is increasing hence, making it more difficult in managing and maintaining the attendance records. Automation is the need in every sector to reduce the human effort. Computer vision is a part of automation where computer replicates the human vision system and performs an understanding of useful information from images. It is a boon for many problems, attendance system can also be transformed from manual sheets to face recognition. This paper proposes a framework for developing an attendance system using Face Recognition. This system comprises an Android Application that can be installed on professor's mobile phone. Through the application, the camera can be unlocked to capture images. Each student’s image is captured and stored for training. OpenCV is used with a machine learning algorithm to search for faces within a single image. Once faces are found it is trained using KNN (K Nearest Neighbor) classifier. New images are compared with pre-existing images stored in the database using the KNN algorithm. Attendance is automatically recorded when the faces are matched, if not either the student is new and it is added in database or it is declared as a false attendance i.e., proxy. In this way accuracy is also maintained, thus making attendance process easier and efficient.

Since many years, the cases of small children accidentally falling into the uncovered borewell holes are observed in India. In a general procedure, the rescue teams dig an L-shaped hole, parallel to the borewell, to reach the child at the required depth, or tie the hands of the child and try to pull him out. The former method is more challenging and time-consuming if the child is stuck at a depth of more than a hundred feet as they have to cut through rocky soil; while, the second procedure can cause injury to the child. The given paper analyses the position of a child trapped in a narrow borewell. Using the conservation of energy and the reaction forces by the borewell walls on the child, a mathematical expression is derived to calculate the lifting force that will be required to pull out the baby from the same hole (no parallel digging). The paper also calculates the force to insert equipment that can create space around the child without causing any injury to him. This scope of space can be used to go below the child to generate a pushing force for the rescue activity.

Ferrocement is one of the most inexpensive and alternative construction techniques. The beauty of this materials attracts in analyzing and designing the ferrocement (F.C.) silo. This has encouraged the search for new materials like F.C. to provide an alternative to reinforced concrete. During last two decades, many attempts have been made to develop computational models for analysis of silos particularly in steel and reinforced cement concrete. However, very less work is reported on scientific development of analysis of F.C. silo. This indicates that there is a need to continue with more focus and detailed research on F.C. silo. There is a need to analyze F.C. silo for various parametric findings related to pressure and behavior of silo in tension, compression and flexure. Present paper reports new aspects of analysis of silo. The parametric study of stresses developed in wall of F.C. silo for different H/D ratio, thickness and storage capacity is done with help of commercial ANSYS version R14.5.

Development of complex and quality software necessitates the use of a development model, so that the development process is efficient, reliable and faster. Software development life cycle (SDLC) is a well-defined and wellorganized process used to plan, develop, deploy and maintain high quality software systems. DevOps is one recent addition to SDLC that ensures that the development and operations team collaborate to accelerate the deployment and delivery of higher quality software products. This paper throws a light on how development processes are accelerated using DevOps tactics like continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. however, there are several factors that prevent the organizations from using these approaches. Discovering the evolution of DevOps and its continuous practices, gives a thorough understanding of the importance of the DevOps culture. Manual deployment and testing increase the feedback time of a commit operation. The paper discusses various tools available in the DevOps community that can be used to automate various stages of continuous integration and deployment pipeline, so that the feedback time is reduced.

Randomly Weighted $d$-Complexes: Minimal Spanning Acycles and Persistence Diagrams
Authors: Skraba Primoz , Thoppe Gugan , Yogeshwaran D.
Published: May 2020

A weighted $d$-complex is a simplicial complex of dimension $d$ in which each face is assigned a real-valued weight. We derive three key results here concerning persistence diagrams and minimal spanning acycles (MSAs) of such complexes. First, we establish an equivalence between the MSA face-weights and death times in the persistence diagram. Next, we show a novel stability result for the MSA face-weights which, due to our first result, also  holds true for the death and birth times, separately. Our final result concerns a perturbation of a mean-field model of randomly weighted $d$-complexes. The $d$-face weights here are perturbations of some i.i.d. distribution while all the lower-dimensional faces have a weight of $0$. If the perturbations decay sufficiently quickly, we show that suitably scaled extremal nearest face-weights, face-weights of the $d$-MSA, and the associated death times converge to an inhomogeneous Poisson point process. This result completely characterizes the extremal points of persistence diagrams and MSAs. The point process convergence and the asymptotic equivalence of three point processes are new for any weighted random complex model, including even the non-perturbed case. Lastly, as a consequence of our stability result, we show that Frieze's $\zeta(3)$ limit for random minimal spanning trees and the recent extension to random MSAs by Hino and Kanazawa also hold in suitable noisy settings.

Preface: Transcultural Turn of Conceptual History Research
Authors: SUN Jiang
Published: May 2020

Abstract If we do not shrink from making rough generalizations and adopt a broad, conventional approach, then what we call modernity refers to the process whereby a state of heterogeneity progresses toward homogeneity in time, space, human collectives, social order, and other
areas. In his book The Cheese and the Worms, Carlo Ginzburg discusses a late-16th century incident of heterodoxy that cannot be classified into previously existing standard categories. As new knowledge was disseminated thanks to the invention of the Gutenberg printing press, old and
new knowledge came into conflict in the mind of a heterodox figure by the name of Menocchio. He attacked the church, saying that it was more important to love one’s neighbor than to love God (Ginzburg, 1992: 38). Through these small, humble manifestations of change, Ginzburg was able
to reveal the juncture when European modern knowledge first emerged from a muddled, undifferentiated state into one of clarity, whereby over the course of about a century of fermentation, its contours eventually became clearly evident around the year 1800. This process has been termed by the
pioneer of conceptual history Otto Brunner as the “threshold era” (Schwellenzeit) (Blänkner, 2012: 107), and by Reinhart Koselleck as the beginning of the “saddle era” (Sattelzeit) (Koselleck and Richter, 2011: 9).

Abstract There are two frequent misunderstandings in the scholarship on modern China’s territorial transformation. First, the concept of lingtu (“territory”) is often seen as only developing after the 1911 Revolution, in opposition to the earlier
concept of jiangyu diguo (“imperial frontier”). Second, jiangyu and lingtu are often confused and seen as basically the same concept at different historical stages. This essay takes the translation and dissemination of “territory” before the 1911
Revolution as a starting point to examine how the basic concept of lingtu developed from a translated term to describe spatial relations into an important semantic resource of a political movement. On one hand, in the negotiations leading to the Treaty of Nerchinsk and in the modern
treaty system, the translation of “territory” formed a new conceptual space, centred on lingtu, which differed from the idea of the (imperial) “frontier” (jiangyu). The turn from jiangyu to lingtu was not a complete one; rather, part of the
old concept was integrated into the new framework. On the other hand, the concept of lingtu also provided a semantic battlefield, and the battle was already opened before the revolution: the earlier ideas, diplomatic relations and national narrative already formed the basic concepts
dominating discourses after the revolution.
Ambiguous Subject: the “Masses” (qunzhong) Discourse in Modern China
Authors: LI Lifeng
Published: May 2020

Abstract The “masses”(qunzhong ) discourse in modern China was influenced by two western intellectual traditions, i.e., mass psychology and historical materialism. The former regards the masses as a blind, impulsive, and irrational crowd, while the latter
thinks that only the people are the real dynamic forces of historical development. As a result, the “masses” discourse in modern China bifurcated into a negative one of “mass psychology” and a positive one of “mass movement”, both of which were employed
as effective tools of political mobilization by different political parties and social elites. The concept of the “masses” was either the crystallization of the abstract “people”(renmin ) or the actualization of the ideal “citizenry”(guomin
). What is embodied in the concepts of the people, the citizenry, and the masses in modern China was actually an ambiguous image of a political subject.

Published: May 2020

Background: Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases have been known as the cause of increasing mortality among rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) measurement by ultrasound has been used as surrogate marker of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.Methods: A cross sectional study of 86 RA patients fulfills EULAR/ACR 2010 critera for RA was conducted to study proportion and predictor factors of atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis plaque in rheumatoid arthritis patients.Results: Atherosclerosis and plaque was found in 47,7% and 29 % of patients. Age ≥ 40 yo, hypertension and duration of illness ≥ 24 mo were associated with atherosclerosis in multivariate logistic regression analysis with OR 10.70 (95% CI: 2.93-39.10), 4.99 (95% CI: 1.15-21.61) and 3.66 (95% CI: 1.11-11.99) respectively. Whereas hypertension, presence of antiCCP antibody and age ≥ 40 yo, were associated with plaque formation with OR 3.96 (95% CI: 1.15-13.57), 3.20 (95% CI: 1.11-9.24) and 3.61 (95% CI: 1.03-12.63) respectively.Conclusions: Age ≥ 40 yo, hypertension and duration of illness ≥ 24 mo was the predictors ofatherosclerosis, while hypertension, presence of antiCCP antibody and age ≥ 40 yo was the predictors of atherosclerosis plaque.Key words: atherosclerosis, intima media thickness, predictor, rheumatoid arthritis, ultrasonography.

Background : Low level of vitamin D impact the disease activity and the degree of fatigue in SLE patients. This study aims to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on disease activity and fatigue condition in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients with hipovitamin D.Methods: We performed an open clinical trial. Subjects were randomized into two different groups (supplementation or placebo) using simple random sampling. The treatment group got vitamin D3 softgel/ cholecalciferol 1200 IU/day or 30 mg/day, while the control group gotplacebo for 3 months. SLEDAI scores and FSS scores were calculated at pre and posttreatment.Results: There were 20 subjectsfor supplementation group and 19 subjects in the placebo group. From this study, before and after treatment, we found a significant difference of mean level of vitamin D in supplementation group (p=0.000), and no significant difference inpatients with placebo (p=0.427). Moreover, from the SLEDAI score analysis, observed a significant difference bothin the supplemented group (p=0.000) and the placebo group (p=0.006). FSS scores significantly different in the supplemented group (p=0.000). Incorrelation test,there was a negative correlation (r=-0763) between vitamin D level and disease activity (SLEDAI), and both showing stastistical significance between thepre supplementation (p=0.000) and post supplementation (r=-0846; p=0.000). Similarly to theFSS scores, there was a meaningfulnegative correlation (r=-0.931, p=0.000) between the level of vitamin D with FSS scores pre and post supplementation (r=-0.911; p= 0.000). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between disease activity (SLEDAI) pre supplementation with fatigue condition pre supplementation (r=0.846; p = 0.000) and postsupplementation (r=0.913; p= 0.000).Conclusion: The supplementation of vitamin D 1200 IU per day in patients with SLE improve disease activity and degree of fatigue. Keywords: vitamin D, disease activity, fatigue, SLE

Kabupaten Subang merupakan sebuah kabupaten yang terletak di daerah provinsi Jawa Barat. PT. Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) VIII yang terletak di Ciater, Subang merupakan salah satu diantara perkebunan milik Negara yang didirikan dengan maksud dan tujuan untuk menyelenggarakan usaha di bidang agro bisnis dan agro industri. Salah satu usaha di bidang agrobisnisnya adalah teh hitam orthodoks. Permasalahan utama yang dihadapi pada bisnis teh hitam orthodoks adalah dalam pengelolaan informasi. Di kebun teh hitam orthodoks ini, belum adanya informasi tentang kebun dan lokasi kebun. Kepala Afdeling / Kepala Produksi membutuhkan petunjuk letak kebun teh hitam tersebut yang ingin dituju menggunakan Google Maps dan menunjukkan letak koordinatnya. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penulis memiliki solusi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahannya dengan membuat Sistem Informasi Geografis di PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VIII yang berbasis web. Sistem Informasi ini dikhususkan bagi Kepala Afdeling / Kepala Produksi yang ingin mengelola informasi terkait dengan kebun teh hitam orthodoks. Pada penelitian ini, mengambil lokasi di Kabupaten Subang, yang diharapkan dapat dikembangkan untuk memperoleh informasi lebih lanjut. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam mengembangkannya adalah metode prototype untuk membangun sebuah sistem, metode analisa sistemnya menggunakan metode UML (Unified Modelling Language) dan metode analisa masalahnya menggunakan Analisis SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities dan Threat). Metode Prototype dirancang agar dapat menerima perubahan-perubahan dalam rangka menyempurnakan prototype yang sudah ada.

Effects of structural complexity and habitat type on the gall distribution of Jatrophobia brasiliensis (Rübsaamen, 1907) (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) in two host-species of Manihot (Euphorbiaceae)
Authors: Scarcela Mariane D. , Araújo Walter S de

In the present study, we evaluate the distribution of galls induced by Jatrophobia brasiliensis (Rübsaamen, 1907) in two species of Manihot (Manihot caerulescens Pohl and Manihot sp.). The study was performed in two Cerrado phytophysiognomies (typical savannah and rocky savannah) in Jequitaí municipality, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 1,157 galls of Jatrophobia brasiliensis were analyzed, of which 459 galls in Manihot sp. and 698 galls in Manihot caerulescens. We found that plant height, crown diameter and number of leaves per branch positively influenced the number of galled leaves. Our results also showed that habitat type influenced the number of galled leaves and the gall size, with the rocky savannah presenting more and larger galls than the typical savannah. Our findings demonstrate that both intrinsic (related to host plant structure) and extrinsic factors (related to habitat type) influence the distribution of the galls induced by Jatrophobia brasiliensis on Manihot.

Published: May 2020

Introducción: El dolor a la punción de la fístula arteriovenosa es una constante en todos los pacientes en hemodiálisis. Objetivo: El propósito del estudio fue explorar la percepción del dolor a la punción en los pacientes en hemodiálisis, analizando tanto emociones como ideas sobre su calidad de vida. Material y Método: Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, de carácter fenomenológico, en el Hospital Universitario Reina Sofía de Córdoba, en la Unidad de Nefrología y en el Servicio de Consultas Externas “El Perpetuo Socorro” (que también pertenece al mismo hospital). Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a diez pacientes, hombres y mujeres, que sufrían de Insuficiencia Renal Crónica bajo tratamiento de hemodiálisis. Resultados: Se llevó a cabo un análisis de contenido del que emergieron tres categorías principales asociadas a distintas subcategorías: 1) Doler, duele ¿eh? Pero… (Mejora con el tiempo; Cuando duele lo hace de verdad; ¿Duele? Ni te enteras); 2) Ansiedad y miedos relacionados con la intervención (Cuestión de mentalizarse; Ansiedad anticipatoria; Desesperación e inseguridad ante complicaciones y desinformación; ¡Por Dios, que no se rompa la fístula!; Las manos de la enfermera); 3) Una calidad de vida comprometida (Muchas limitaciones; Pero no tiene tanto impacto; ¿Catéter o fístula?). Conclusiones: El estudio permitió describir las percepciones de los pacientes en hemodiálisis en torno a la punción, su contexto y consecuencias, posibilitando, primero, una mayor comprensión y empatía en los profesionales de la salud y, después, una base para otras aproximaciones indagatorias al fenómeno en cuestión.
