Comparison of Spatial Interpolation Methods for Estimating the Annual Rainfall in the Wadi Al-Mujib Basin in Jordan
Authors: Al-husban Yusra
Published: September 2022

Accurate rainfall data are essential for environmental applications in the actual assessment of the geographical distribution of rainfall. Interpolation methods are usually applied to monitor the spatial distribution of the rainfall data. There are many spatial interpolation methods, but none of them can achieve in all cases the best results. In this study, three different interpolation methods were investigated with regard to their suitability for producing a spatial rainfall distribution. Rainfall data from 14  meteorological stations were spatially interpolated using three common interpolation techniques: inverse distance weighting (IDW), ordinary kriging (OK), and kernel smoothing (KS) were compared and assessed against station rainfall data and modeled rainfall. Cross-validation was applied to evaluate the accuracy of interpolation methods in terms of the root-mean-square error (RMSE). The best results were obtained by the lowest RMSE for interpolating the precipitation (RMSE) = 100.86542, while the inverse distance weighting (IDW) performed the worst, and are least efficient with the largest RMSE=103.43; in addition, the kernel smoothing with the least minimum (-) and maximum (+) error is -92.38 mm and 313.33 mm.

Zjawisko depopulacji w Polsce jako determinanta rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego
Authors: Lizińska Wiesława , Kisiel Roman
Published: September 2022

CEL NAUKOWY: Celem analiz jest zdiagnozowanie sytuacji demograficznej w Polsce ogółem – w ujęciu regionalnym oraz w relacji do podstawowego miernika wzrostu i rozwoju gospodarczego, jakim jest wskaźnik produktu krajowego brutto.

PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Problemem badawczym jest ocena sytuacji demograficznej i wskazanie znaczenia zjawiska depopulacji jako determinanty rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego. W artykule wykorzystano krytyczną analizę piśmiennictwa. Przeprowadzono analizę danych dotyczących sytuacji demograficznej w Polsce według typologii Webba, zjawiska depopulacji, wzrostu i rozwoju gospodarczego z wykorzystaniem wskaźnika PKB per capita.

PROCES WYWODU: Pierwsza część wywodu odnosi się do wskazania znaczenia wzrostu i rozwoju gospodarczego. Druga do wyników analiz, mających na celu zdiagnozowanie na podstawie danych ze statystyki publicznej sytuacji demograficznej w Polsce, w ujęciu regionalnym oraz w relacji do podstawowego miernika wzrostu i rozwoju gospodarczego – PKB.

WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Zdiagnozowano niekorzystnie postępującą sytuację demograficzną. Proces depopulacji w głównej mierze generowany jest z powodu ujemnego przyrostu naturalnego. Dziesięć województw to regiony dualnie depopulacyjne. Regiony dualnie lub jednostronnie aktywne, to obszary o średnim oraz wysokim poziomie PKB. Sytuacja demograficzna była najsilniej kreowana przez ujemny przyrost naturalny i ujemne saldo migracji w dwóch regionach: o bardzo niskim i średnim poziomie PKB.

WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMEDACJE: Wskazano na niekorzystną tendencję ubytku ludności ze względu na ograniczone możliwości skutecznego stymulowania wzrostu przyrostu naturalnego. W trudnej sytuacji są regiony dualnie nieaktywne. Kierunku wyboru narzędzi polityki społeczno-gospodarczej można poszukiwać uwzględniając fakt, że dualnie aktywne regiony to regiony o relatywnie korzystniejszej i poprawiającej się sytuacji gospodarczej. Należy również poszukiwać alternatywnych stymulant współczesnego rozwoju, ale także tworzyć i promować walory tych regionów pod kątem warunków życia, przyczyniając się nie tylko do ograniczania odpływu ludności, ale także jej napływu.

Mitotic Index and Immunohistochemical Expression of Ki-67 in Pleomorphic Adenoma of Salivary Glands
Authors: Rasul Faiz
Published: September 2022

.

Background: Pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) are the most common type of salivary gland tumors (SGTs) which may undergo malignant transformation to Carcinoma ex PA (CaExPA). The purpose of this study was to determine mitotic index (MI) and expression of Ki-67 in Pleomorphic adenomas of salivary gland tumors.

Methodology: This study was carried out on sixty patients of pleomorphic adenoma. Slides with specimens were stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin to count Mitotic index. Labeling Index (LI) of Ki-67 was determined immunohistochemically. Mitotic figures (MF) were counted in 10 HPF selected in the proliferative area. MI was scored as 1 (0 to 4 MF per 10 HPF); 2 (5-9 MF per 10 HPF) and 3 (> 9 MF per 10 HPF). Immunoexpression of Ki-67 was scored as ‘0-negative’ when <5% of neoplastic cells stained, ‘1-weak positive’ when 5-19% of neoplastic cells were stained, ‘2-moderate positive’ when 20-49% of neoplastic cells were stained, and ‘3-strong positive’ when >50% of neoplastic cells were stained with Ki-67. Data was, entered in SPSS 21.

Results: Mean age was 38.7 ± 12.86 years. Out of 60 cases, 26 (43.33%) were of males while 34 (56.67%) were of females. Expression of Ki-67 was negative in 50% while remaining weak positive. Only score 01 of MI observed.

Conclusion:  Ki-67 is more sensitive marker than mitotic index in pleomorphic adenomas even in small sized tumors and it can help in detection of malignant transformation of PAs.

Authors: Garimella Rama  Murthy
Published: September 2022

In this research paper, the problem of characterization of corner positive matrices ( an open research problem ) is addressed. Based on optimization of energy function associated with Hopfield Neural Network, an algorithmic approach to determine the corner positive definiteness of a symmetric matrix is proposed. It is reasoned that the problem addressed is an NP hard problem.

In order to achieve improved tracking performance, this paper considers the distinct features of tailless flapping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs), and proposes a robust $\bm{H_{\infty}}$ controller.

A linear parameter Varying (LPV) model is established for a tailless FWMAV with parameter uncertainty, based on the complete dynamic and kinetic model with quasi-steady and linear damping.

Sampled data is used as feedback signals in controller design to overcome the influence of the control period not being much larger than the flapping period.

An input delay technique is employed to convert the sampled-data system into a continuous-time system with a state delay. The controller is restricted to a designed multivariable proportional-integral (PI) structure for practical engineering implementation.

A Lyapunov-Krasovskii function is employed to establish the stability and $\bm{H_{\infty}}$  performance of the closed-loop,  and an optimization problem involving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is obtained using diagonal Lyapunov matrix hypotheses.

Numerical simulations demonstrate the strong robustness of the proposed controller, and flight experiments verify its effectiveness and superior performance compared to a state-of-the-art benchmark controller.

With the technological evolution and new applications, user equipment (UEs) has become a vital part of our lives. However, limited computational capabilities and finite battery life bottleneck the performance of computationally demanding applications. A practical solution to enhance the quality of experience (QoE) is to offload the extensive computation to the mobile edge cloud (MEC). Moreover, the network's performance can be further improved by deploying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) integrated with intelligent reflective surfaces (IRS): an effective alternative to massive antenna systems to enhance the signal quality and suppress interference. In this work, the MEC network architecture is assisted by UAV-IRS to provide computational services to the UEs. To do so, a cost minimization problem in terms of computing time and hovering energy consumption is formulated. Furthermore, to achieve an efficient solution to a formulated challenging problem, the original optimization problem is decoupled into sub-problems using the block-coordinate decent method. Moreover, numerical results are compared to baseline schemes to determine the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Simulation results demonstrate that the optimal allocation of local computational resources results in minimizing tasks' computational time and hovering energy consumption.

Published: September 2022

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a severe medical concern, and early detection of DR can prevent blindness. Manually examining fundus images to detect lesions is time-consuming and requires expertise. Segmenting exudates from fundus images using Deep Learning methods provides an automated high precision solution to this problem. Our work proposes the Residual Recurrent U-Net (R2 U-Net) for segmenting exudates in retinal fundus images. The network consists of recurrent units with feedback connections leveraging local spatial information from neighboring pixels. There are multiple stacked recurrent units in each layer of the U-Net. Residual skip connections were introduced between different layers of the network to train deeper architectures. The model was trained on the publicly available IDRiD dataset and tested on IDRiD, E-Ophtha, and DiaretDB1 dataset. The metrics were computed at the pixel, exudate (or lesion), and image level. The model achieved a state-of-the-art 93.20% sensitivity and 99.80% specificity on the E-Ophtha at the exudate level, which is better than existing literature. An automated DR detection system would help not only people but also Ophthalmologists to treat Diabetic Retinopathy effectively.
Mitigation of nonlinear waveform distortion in high-order QAM optical transmission systems by two-mode phase-sensitive optical parametric amplifiers
Authors: Kikuchi Kazuro
Published: September 2022

Using computer simulations,  we  analyze the bit-error rate (BER) characteristics of a high-order QAM  optical transmission system repeated by two-mode phase-sensitive optical parametric amplifiers (PSAs).  In this  system, an idler, which is a phase-conjugated twin of a signal, propagate through the link together with the signal. One advantage of this system is that the  noise figure of two-mode PSAs used as repeaters can approach 0 dB. The other advantage is that  two-mode PSAs cancel out self-phase modulation of the signal at each repeater through the interaction between the transmitted  signal and idler. Owing to these advantages, the BER characteristics  of 16, 64, and 256QAM signals are significantly improved compared with the system using erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and phase-conjugation twin waves, provided that dispersion-shifted fibers are employed for transmission.
A Generalized Method for Modelling the Steady-State of Secondary Control in Islanded AC Microgrids

Published: September 2022

The secondary control is applied in islanded Microgrids (MGs), after the primary control, in order to restore the buses voltage and frequency to specified values. The existing power flow methods can accurately calculate the power flow for droop-controlled islanded MGs, but in many cases, they cannot calculate the steady-state solution of the MG after the action of secondary controllers. The main challenge in the steady-state modelling of the secondary layer lies in that the secondary controllers consist of integral parts, which can integrate functions with different integral histories, and therefore, under certain circumstances, can imply inaccurate power sharing between the distributed generation units (DGs). This phenomenon is most pronounced under communication failures, as will be shown in the simulations. In this way, this paper proposes a power flow method for calculating, accurately, the steady-state solution of hierarchically controlled islanded AC MGs, including droop-based primary control and secondary control. The paper includes four main features: a) generalized implementation in several communication strategies e.g., centralized, decentralized, consensus, distributed averaging, b) precise simulation of communication links and integral parts of secondary controllers, c) low computation time, and d) accurate 4-wire network representation. Simulations were executed to validate the proposed method against Simulink and to highlight the importance of an accurate modelling of secondary control in the power flow method for islanded MGs
Receive Beamforming in Medical Ultrasound—A Review of Aperture Data Processing
Authors: Göbl Rüdiger
Published: September 2022

This review focuses on ultrasound beamforming methods, a crucial step in the process of ultrasound image formation. With the shift towards software-based receive beamforming in research and commercial settings, a number of limiting factors around the application of advanced beamforming algorithms have been removed.  Now, the opportunities for image quality improvements are only limited by available compute resources. This has lead to a plethora of works presenting and investigating novel beamforming methods. We review the recent advances in receive beamforming, specifically focused on methods that perform aperture data processing—the processing of the received echo signals after application of appropriate delays—and can therefore replace summation in delay-and-sum.  After presenting and contrasting the methods, we compare and discuss their respective advantages and limitations. Our goal is to give the reader an intuition on their working principles, show the relations between the different methods, and serve as a starting point for further study of the literature or implementations. The code we used to perform the comparisons is available at https://github.com/goeblr/rxbf_review

Objetivo: Analisar a capacidade de atendimento de casos de Urgência e Emergência pelos enfermeiros da Atenção Básica do Guará/DF. Método: Abordagem qualitativa e método descritivo, de acordo com os pressupostos de Gil, no qual todos os dados utilizados foram adquiridos por meio de entrevista realizada nas UBS do Guará-DF com enfermeiros da equipe da ESF. Resultados: Foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas realizadas com 07 enfermeiros identificados neste estudo com indicadores alfanuméricos (E1 a E7) para salvaguardar a identificação dos mesmos. Conclusão: Esta pesquisa buscou entender como ocorre o atendimento aos casos de urgência e emergência na AB sob o ponto de vista do enfermeiro. Baseado nas informações coletadas considera-se que apesar existir demanda de urgência e emergência na AB, o treinamento dos profissionais e o fornecimento de infraestrutura básica não são realidade. O enfermeiro como sujeito principal neste cenário de tantas controvérsias, fica de fato instável e muito vulnerável em cada um dos atendimentos. Cabe ao SUS repensar onde de fato deve ser feito o serviço de atendimento de urgências e emergências, prover recursos humanos capacitados e caso decida que será também na UBS esse tipo de atendimento, deverá rever a estrutura física e recursos materiais para tal.

Bonus demografi adalah kondisi yang terjadi saat sebuah negara memiliki jumlah penduduk usia produktif yang lebih tinggi daripada penduduk usia non-produktif. Bonus demografi dikaitkan dengan munculnya suatu kesempatan yang disebut dengan jendela peluang yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Bonus demografi dapat bermanfaat dalam mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi. Namun kendati demikian, apabila tidak mempersiapkannya dengan baik, tentu Indonesia akan kehilangan kesempatan tersebut. Maka dari itu penting bagi Indonesia untuk mempersiapkan segala sesuatunya dengan baik. Salah satu hal yang dapat diupayakan untuk mengoptimalisasi bonus demografi di Indonesia ini adalah dengan menanamkan karakter hidup bersih melalui gerakan cuci tangan pakai sabun yang tidak hanya menjadi perhatian pemerintah Indonesia namun juga World Health Organization (WHO). Gerakan CTPS ini juga menjadi perhatian Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) yang disosialisasikan oleh para pendamping. Dengan sosialisasi yang dilakukan oleh para Pendamping PKH dapat menjadi salah satu cara untuk mengedukasi masyarakat tentang pentingnya CTPS dan membentuk karakter unggul bangsa Indonesia yakni hidup bersih dan sehat sehingga tercipta sumber daya manusia yang sehat, kuat dan sejahtera dalam rangka optimalisasi bonus demografi
