Day to day involvement in crime becomes higher statistics for providing information against crime occurrences. A crime committed in different locations, the point of crime occurrence, strategy be analyzed very tedious using only information records. Because information collection in the form of attribute case records with direct crime rates score, so valid factor identification of crime category is a problem. By using the crime cluster in data mining technique to analyze the criminal records to propose a sentence case relative clustering algorithm (SCRCA)with addition classification rule mining algorithm to solve the crime problems. Also to use the sentence case observer technique for knowledge discovery from the crime records for proper case identification from sentence case records and to help increase the predictive accuracy. Crime examines a developing method and identifying the field in law implementation without standard definitions for correct judgment. With the expanding utilization of the clustering automated frameworks to track crimes, information examiners helping the law implementation officers and analysts to accelerate the way toward measuring crimes. The main contribution is to analyses the attribute case with relative sentences of count word analyzes factor for improving the crime prediction for categorizing crime type.
An Efficient QOS Improvement Established on Unreasonable Investment, with a Half and Half Node Participation Clustering Approach in Mobile Ad Hoc Network
Authors: Ramani T , Sengottuvelan P
Published: July 2019

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is characterized as a self-arranging foundationless system utilized for correspondence by wireless connections with the help of nodes. A MANET is suggested as the wireless system with autonomous nodes moving naturally concerning each other. Because of the different free moves of nodes, a lot of packet misfortune happens in transmitting the packet from source to goal. The danger of lousy node conduct is extraordinarily high. The unsecured unplanned system condition is started because of the progressive idea of systems and node portability. Likewise, the assignment of central administration is more confused in an improvised order. Because of the concept of free moving attributes, MANET faces disgraceful node collaboration. In this proposed work manages node collaboration to security issues like Unreasonable Investment, with a Half and Half Node Participation based Clustering approach (UIH2NPC) in MANET. The node collaboration among the nodes in MANET is enhanced by estimating the weightage of helpfulness of every node in the system. The assessment of node collaboration weightage identifies the external nodes contribution in the order. Execution assessments are done.

Published: July 2019

This paper presents an implementation of a microcontroller based boost converter to maintain constant speed of a DC motor. The optimised values namely kp,ki,kd  of the  Boost Converter  are taken from firefly algorithm[10] and implemented using microcontroller. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a procedure to generate changeable pulse width with different duty cycle. The PWM signal reduces the switching losses. This paper presents a DC motor speed controller where PID Controller is used where the optimized values of kp,ki,kd are taken from firefly algorithm[10]. The PWM pulse width will alter the speed of the motor.  The motor voltage and revolutions per seconds (RPS) obtained at different duty cycle rates. With increase in duty cycle, further voltage is applied to the motor. This gives stronger magnetic flux in the armature windings and to enhance revolutions per seconds. The characteristics and concert of the DC motor speed control system was discussed. In this paper, a PIC microcontroller is designed with a DC-DC boost converter for the motor speed controller system. Finally to improve the graphical result we design the hardware in loop method using matlab.

Authors: Saini H , K. Garg A
Published: July 2019

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is promising technique to support requirements of high speed optical networks. OBS network ingress node assembles packets into bursts. Burst assembly criteria have to be optimally chosen based on network requirements. In this paper, burst assembly framework is presented which can support optimal time/size value selection during burst formation. It is observed that, network with high timeout supports high Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) throughput for a range of burst size. For lower burst timeout values, throughput performance degrades only for small size bursts and further reduction in timeout threshold degrades throughput for range of burst size.

Published: July 2019

The problem of steady aligned MHD magnetic nanofluid flow past a static wedge is studied in this paper. The present aligned magnetic field along with constant temperature at the surface is considered. The governing partial differential equations, subject to boundary conditions are transformed into ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The transformed equations are then solved numerically by Keller-box method. To check the validity of the present method, numerical results for dimensionless local skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer are compared with results of available literature as special cases and revealed in good agreement. The influence of pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature profiles, as well as wall shear stress and heat transfer rate is displayed in graphical form and discussed. It is found that fluid velocity increases with the increase of inclined angle, magnetic parameter and thermal buoyancy parameters while decreasing for increasing in nanoparticle volume fraction.Â  It is also noticed that magnetic parameter influences fluid velocity and temperature significantly.Â Â Â

Published: July 2019

The aims of this study are to fit a logistic regression model towards the fly problem in a farm and to identify the variables that are associated with the fly problem in a poultry farm. By using SPSS software, this study used â€˜FORWARD STEPWISEâ€™ and â€˜BACKWARD STEPWISEâ€™ methods to perform the analysis. Compared to linear regression analysis, logistic regression does not require rigorous assumptions to be met. This study used Likelihood Ratio test, Omnibus test and Hosmer and Lemeshow test to validate and to test the fit of poultry farm data. Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is calculated to observe the difference between the methods of stepwise used by SPSS software in this study. As a result, logistic regression is fit towards poultry farm data by a stepwise procedure. BACKWARD STEPWISE seems to be more suitable for conducting the stepwise method of analysis. Besides, variables that influence the problem of fly in a poultry are the wasps, distance and number of flies.Â

Published: July 2019

Aim. The article deals with establishing psychophysiological features in overweight women to develop a set of measures for weight decrease and psychocorrection. Materials and methods. We studied two groups of women who were willing to participate in the study: the first group – mean age 54.2 ± 3.0; the second group – mean age 25.0 ± 1.7. The average BMI of the first group corresponded with obesity values (32.3 ± 1.6), while an average BMI of the second group was within the upper limit of reference values (23.7 ± 0.9). However, according to body composition data, there was a risk of BMI increase. As far as the percentage of adipose tissue exceeded the recommended values, recommended weight loss was 18.2 ± 2.6 kg for the older group and 5.6 ± 1.4 kg for the young group. Two groups of women of the same age with normal weight were examined as control groups. Results of the study revealed both age-related and psychophysiological features in women of different weight. EEG analysis showed that alpha rhythm amplitude in women from the first group was higher on average and frequency was lower compared to the second group. In the experimental group, we also revealed a higher level of delta activity in the frontal region at rest. The study of a psychoemotional status revealed that all participants hardly coped with stress. However, young participants overcame stress more easily compared to the older group. Anxiety assessment showed increased values of anxiety. In all participants, personal anxiety was almost at the same level within 48 points. Situational anxiety was higher in young women (51.2 ± 1.3 and 49.6 ± 2.1 points, respectively). Conclusion. The most psychophysiological indicators identified functional stress, particularly in overweight older women. To preserve the optimal psychophysiological status of persons participating in weight correction programs, it is also necessary to correct a psychophysical status in accordance with age-related features.
ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR COMPENSATING MOTION ERROR IN THE ADAPTIVE MOTION CONTROL OF THE BIOMECHANICAL SYSTEM
Authors: Zagrevskiy V , Zagrevskiy O
Published: July 2019

Aim. The article deals with developing software to simulate the motion of an object with the given parameters of initial and final phase status. Materials and methods. A motion error in sports exercise is the result of kinematic deviation from the parameters of a given motion program. The mathematical apparatus of adaptive control allows neutralizing motion mistakes between a program and a real trajectory. It is based on utilising the information about current parameters of a phase status of a moving object in a mathematical structure of the control function. The article proposes and experimentally proves the hypothesis about the computer synthesis of motions in biomechanical systems based on the mathematical apparatus of adaptive control. In the computational experiments, a mathematical description of an object is based on a well-established law of open-time approximation (A.P. Batenko, 1977), which requires that both velocity and coordinates simultaneously take the given values. Motion time in this law is an uncontrolled parameter. The mathematical model of a moving object is built as a system of a first-order differential equation. Results. A mathematical model describing the motion of a material point with given phase coordinates at the initial and final points in time is implemented in a computer program. The program works based on the integrated development environment Visual Studio Express 2013 and the Visual Basic 2010 language environment. Conclusion. The developed computer model of adaptive control achieves the aim of any motion, which implies transferring an object from a given initial state to the required final state.

Authors: Surtantini Rin
Published: July 2019

This article aims at finding out the reading comprehension-question levels as constructed for some chapters of English Students’ Book for Grade X published in 2017 by The Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia. The data were taken purposively and analyzed using Barrett’s taxonomy of reading comprehension to examine the levels of comprehension questions provided in the book. While higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in Bloom’s taxonomy involve students to analyze, to evaluate, and to create, Barrett’s reading comprehension levels exhibit corresponding features, namely inferential comprehension, evaluation, and appreciation. The analysis is to show the corresponse the reading comprehension questions in the book to the current issues of HOTS in the curriculum policy of Indonesia. The results demonstrate that while some of the comprehension questions (21%) comply with the higher level of reading comprehension, the rest (nearly 80%) show lower level of reading comprehension. In response to the implementation of the curriculum policy in Indonesia, teachers need to practice constructing higher levels of comprehension questions that considerably make students get used to think critically

Cyclotrichium niveum is an endemic plant for Turkey and it appears to have in vitro antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibition properties. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no study on the in vivo effects of this plant. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of C. niveum on lead (Pb)-acetate-induced potential alterations in brain acetylcholinesterase activity, as well as oxidative stress in male rats. The rats were randomly assigned to control, Pb-acetate, C. niveum and Pb-acetate+ C. niveum groups. Pb-acetate was provided in drinking water (500 ppm), and C. niveum was administered via orogastric gavage (4 ml/kg) for 30 days. The acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain significantly decreased only in the Pb-acetate group. The malondialdehyde level significantly increased, and the reduced glutathione activity decreased in the Pb-acetate group. The reduced glutathione and glutathione-S-transferase activities of the C. niveum group were higher than the control group. No Pb was detected on a ppb level in the brain tissue of the control and C. niveum groups, while it was detected in the brains of the rats in the Pb-acetate and Pb-acetate+ C. niveum groups (185+8.98 ppb and 206+56.65 ppb, respectively). The data collected in this study suggested that C. niveum may reduce inhibition of brain AChE activity and oxidative stress against Pb-acetate-induced alterations in the brain of male rats.

Background

Aortic aneurysm occurs in the thoracic and abdominal sections of the aorta and is a deadly late-age-at-onset disease. Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TTAs) are characterized by progressive smooth muscle cell rarefaction due to impaired extracellular matrix. The aim of this study was to investigate fibrillin-1 (FBN-1), fibronectin-1 (FN-1) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) gene expression levels in patients with TTA.

Materials and methods

The data were analyzed for 16 patients treated for TAA and nine control subjects. Tissue samples obtained during surgery were frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C until RNA isolation. Gene expression analysis was performed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for each gene and Beta actin was used as control gene. 2−ΔΔCT method was used for the determining expression levels of the genes.

Results

According to the results of this study, TIMP-3 gene was nine-fold higher expressed in TAA tissues (p = 0.034). Furthermore, TIMP-3 expression levels were found associated with fasting blood glucose, red blood cells and ejection fraction. The gene expression levels of FBN-1 and FN-1 were not statistically significant (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

In this clinical trial, we concluded that TIMP-3 expression increases in dilated aorta.

Six different asphalt mixes were subjected to the four-point bending fracture tests designed at the University of Lyon/École Nationale des Travaux Publics de l’État (ENTPE). Among the six tested mixes, three were hot mixes and three were produced according to a warm process with foamed binder. For each of the two processes, the first mix contained 0 % reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The second mix contained 40 % RAP from a milling process. The third mixes contained 40 % of the second mix, aged artificially in the lab and recycled. Two methods were applied to determine the crack propagation during fracture testing. The first one, called the displacement ratio method for predicting crack length, is based on displacements measurements. The second one used digital image correlation and strain field analysis. The two methods gave similar results for crack length values during the tests. The stress intensity factor (KIC) as a function of crack length was calculated. Results showed rather close fracture properties for the six mix types.

Despite the increasing influence of human activities on water resources in our current Anthropocene era, the impacts of these activities on the duration, rate and timing of the recovery of drought events, known as the drought termination phase, remain unknown. Here, we present the first assessment of how different human activities (i.e. water abstractions, reservoirs, water transfers) affect drought termination. Six case studies in Europe were used to analyse the human influence on streamflow drought termination characteristics. For all case studies, we compared the drought and drought termination characteristics derived from a human-influenced time series of streamflow (observation data) and a naturalised time series (modelled data) for the same period. Overall, results clearly demonstrate the influence of human activities on drought terminations in all the studied catchments. Groundwater abstractions, reservoirs and mixed influences were all found to increase the average duration of drought termination, whereas water transfers into the catchment decreased drought termination duration. Results also show that average drought termination rates increased in all case studies due to the human influence. Furthermore, start and end months of the termination phase were more skewed to certain months in human-influenced data than in the naturalised situation. Future research could extend this new knowledge by looking to add further case studies and covering different human activities to gain a wider understanding on how human actions modify hydrological droughts and their recovery. Furthering this work could also help to improve the forecasting of drought recovery in the Anthropocene, which is important for informing drought management decisions.

Herediter anjio ödem (HAÖ), C1
esteraz inhibitör proteininin konjenital eksikliğine bağlı olarak meydana
gelen, nadir gözlenen, otozomal dominant bir hastalıktır. HAÖ atakları, spontan
veya bir travmaya bağlı olarak, ekstremitelerde, yüzde, göğüste, hava yolunda
veya karın bölgesinde şişlikler şeklinde meydana gelebilir. Dental işlemlerden
önce, profilaksi amacıyla , androjenler, taze dondurulmuş plazma, C1 esteraz
inhibitör protein konsantreleri ve antifibrinolitikler kullanılmaktadır. Bu
vaka raporunda, danazol profilaksisi ile implant tedavisi uygulanan, herediter
anjioödemli bir hasta sunulmaktadır. Preoperatif 3 gün 100 mg ve operasyon günü
200 mg danazol profilaksisi ile hastanın sol üst molar bölgesine bir adet
dental implant (Straumann Roxolid Implants) yerleştirilmiş ve post operatif 2
gün 100 mg danazol tedavisine devam edilmiştir. Hastada implant tedavisine
bağlı olarak, akut veya post operatif herhangi bir atak görülmemiştir. Sonuç
olarak, rekürrent anjio ödem hikayesi olan hastalar, dental implant cerrahisinden
önce, C1 esteraz inhibitör protein eksikliği yönünden, dikkatle
değerlendirilmelidir.

Published: July 2019

Se examina la relación entre, por un lado, cuatro procesos emergentes de desarrollo -agricultores ecológicos organi-zados en Costa Rica, indios kuna en Panamá, Programa Raízes en Brasil y Movimiento Indígena Ecuatoriano- y, por otro lado, la sostenibilidad de la vida y de las culturas, rela-cionando todo ello con la irrupción de una agricultura que rescata los conocimientos ancestrales y respeta los límites ecológicos de los sistemas productivos: ésa es la agricultu-ra para la vida, la cual es caracterizada someramente. Se identifica una tendencia común a aquellos cuatro grupos: generación de procesos formativos e informativos enfo-cados en su problemática que conducen a su empodera-miento e incidencia en los contextos económico, político y sociocultural en que se encuentran inmersos.

Tratamiento moderno de la osteocondrosis en equinos ¿qué podemos ofrecer?
Authors: Estrada McDermott Roberto
Published: July 2019

La osteocondrosis (OCD) es una de las enfermedades del desarrollo más comunes en el equino. Engeneral, se produce un defecto focal en la osificación endocondral que causa la separación de unfragmento osteoncondral dentro de la articulación. Esta es una patología multifactorial, pero estárelacionada, en gran medida, con la transmisión genética y los desbalances nutricionales. A pesar deprogramas de selección en el nivel internacional, esta enfermedad sigue estando presente alrededordel mundo y es una causa importante de desecho de animales causado por los cambios osteoartríticossecundarios y claudicación. No obstante, se sabe que el pronóstico de esta enfermedad depende engran medida del tamaño y localización del fragmento, un diagnóstico temprano y un tratamientoquirúrgico mínimamente invasivo. Modernamente se recomienda combinar el diagnóstico radiológicocon ultrasonografía, ya que se ha demostrado que la segunda técnica es más sensible para la detecciónde fragmentos. Además, el ultrasonido permite localizar en tiempo real los fragmentos y evaluar lostejidos blandos articulares. Desde el punto de vista terapéutico, es de vital importancia tener en cuentaque las terapias intraarticulares no son más que paliativas y no permiten solucionar el problema, estalínea de terapias cumple un rol importante en el contexto de que los fragmentos sean removidos de laarticulación. Se ha demostrado que la remoción de los fragmentos por medio de técnicas mínimamenteinvasivas presentan una menor morbilidad y mucho mejores tasas de éxito que las técnicas más invasivas.El objetivo de esta presentación es dar a conocer datos actuales sobre la epidemiología y pronóstico delas presentaciones más comunes de esta enfermedad, además de describir una metodología modernapara el diagnóstico y tratamiento de esta patología.
