Investigating the Status of Cadmium, Chromium and Lead in the Drinking Water Supply Chain to Ensure Drinking Water Quality in Malaysia
Authors: Ahmed Minhaz Farid , Mokhtar Mazlin Bin , Alam Lubna , Mohamed Che Abd Rahim , Ta Goh Choo
Published: September 2020

Prolonged persistence of toxic cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb) in the aquatic environment are due to its nonbiodegradable characteristic. A few studies have reported higher concentrations of these metals in the transboundary Langat River, Malaysia. This study determined the spatial and temporal distributions of Cd, Cr and Pb concentrations (2005–2015) in the Langat River along with assessing the status of these metals in the drinking water supply chain at the basin. Water samples were collected once in 2015 from the drinking water supply chain, i.e., from the river, treated water at plants, taps and filtration water at households. Determined mean concentrations of Cd, Cr and Pb by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in the Langat River were within the drinking water quality standard of Malaysia and the WHO, except for the Pb (9.99 ± 1.40 µg/L) concentration, which was at the maximum limit, 10 µg/L. The spatial and temporal distribution of these metals’ concentrations indicate dilution of it downstream, along with the increasing trend in rainfall and water flow, especially during the northeast monsoon. Significant correlation and regression analysis of the Cd, Cr and Pb concentrations also indicate that the sources of this metal pollution are mainly the natural weathering of minerals along with anthropogenic activities in the basin. The determined overall water quality of the Langat River is categorized Class IIA (i.e., clean), which requires conventional treatment before drinking; however, the maximum removal efficiency of these metals by the plants at the basin was about 90.17%. Therefore, the proactive leadership roles of the local authorities will be appropriate to reduce the pollution of this river as well as introducing a two-layer water filtration system at the Langat River Basin to accelerate the achievement of a sustainable drinking water supply.

Published: September 2020

The study aimed to adapt selected formulas for the estimation of the maximum depth of local scour in the area of the bridge pillar model: Begam formula, Laursen and Toch equation and the equation included in the Regulation of the Polish Minister of Transport and Marine Economy of 30 May 2000 on technical requirements for road engineering structures and location of these structures. The results of own laboratory tests were used for the adaptation. A total of 19 series of measurements with different durations, water flow rates and water depths were performed. The tests were carried out on a model of a washable flume model with a sandy bed, with a single cylindrical bridge pier. The formulas were optimized using the Monte Carlo sampling method. The best match among the original formulas was obtained for Laursen and Toch’s formula (mean relative error 15.3%). For Begam’s formula, an average relative error of 21.6% was received, and for calculations using the Regulation equation, a relative error of 30.1% was obtained. Optimization of formulas using the Monte Carlo sampling method resulted in a formula that describes laboratory data with a mean relative error of 8.8% based on the Begam equation, a mean relative error of 13.8% based on the Laursen–Toch equation, and 28.5% for the formula based on equation included in the Regulation.

Published: September 2020

Four streams in the Guadiana watershed were followed up to assess hydrogeomorphological and physicochemical characteristics, and to analyze its correlation with land use/land cover (LULC), analyzing their possible influence in reservoir water quality and possible influence in the reservoir water quality. The highest amounts of organic descriptors and nutrients were quantified in streams with the major percentage of olive groves and vineyards and urban land cover classes. Streams more influenced by agro-silvo-pastoral class presented better water quality, as this type of LULC acts as a buffer of the contamination runoff. The results highlighted that the hydrogeomorphology of the streams may influence the transfer of pollutants loads to reservoirs. Hence, in intermittent streams characterized by coarse particles in the sediment, high amounts of pollutants are accumulated when the flow ceases, and are further transported to the reservoirs when the flow retakes. On the contrary, streams with sediments characterized by a great percentage of fine particles and organic matter do not induce so much stress in reservoirs, since these allow the adsorption of nutrients and trace elements, without their transfer to reservoirs.
Does the Darcy–Buckingham Law Apply to Flow through Unsaturated Porous Rock?
Authors: Turturro Antonietta , Caputo Maria , Perkins Kim , Nimmo John
Published: September 2020

The Darcy–Buckingham (DB) law, critical to the prediction of unsaturated flow, is widely used but has rarely been experimentally tested, and therefore may not be adequate in certain conditions. Failure of this law would imply that the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is not constant for a given water content, as assumed in nearly all subsurface flow models. This study aims to test the DB law on unsaturated porous rock, complementing the few previous tests, all done on soils. Two lithotypes of calcareous porous rocks were tested. The quasi-steady centrifuge method was used to measure the flux density for different centrifugal driving forces while maintaining essentially constant water content, as required. Any deviations from the direct proportionality of the measured flux and the applied force would indicate a violation of the DB law. Our results show that, for the tested rocks and conditions, no physical phenomena occurred to cause a failure of the DB law.

Published: September 2020

Primary vaginal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the rarest kinds of cancer in gynecological cancer. We report a 40-year-old presented with abdominal pain in her right lower quadrant with past-medical history of vaginal cuff SCC without any metastasis about 2.5 years ago which was treated with a combination of surgery and radiotherapy. Ultrasonography and abdomino–pelvic CT scan suggested an inflammatory phlegmon in RLQ probably due to a complicated appendicitis or malignancy. Ultrasonography-guided biopsy was performed which showed a poor differentiated SCC. Chest and abdominopelvic CTs showed no metastasis. Patients underwent laparotomy and ileocecal resection then end-to-end anastomosis was performed. A study of specimens showed a non-keratinizing SCC.

Investigation of VO2 directly deposited on a glass substrate using RF sputtering for a smart window
Authors: Kim Joonam , Ejiri Takuto , Sugiyama Mutsumi
Published: September 2020

In this study, a VO2 thin film was directly deposited on a soda-lime glass by reactive RF sputtering to investigate its potential application in smart windows. The VO2 crystal structure is susceptible to changes in the oxygen density; to decrease this sensitivity, we fabricated a VO2 thin film by increasing the RF sputtering power, rather than increasing the growth temperature. The orientation of VO2 was changed from (011) to (100) by increasing the RF power from 100 to 180 W. This phenomenon can be explained using the enthalpy compensation and strain effect. The thin film clearly shows thermochromic characteristics in terms of drastic variation in infrared radiation at different temperatures based on the intrinsic transition property of VO2. Direct deposition of VO2 thin film on a glass substrate using the high RF power sputtering method proposed in this study is recommended as a simple and low-cost method to add a self-temperature control function to smart windows.

Fejezetek a területi katonai igazgatási rendszer történetéből
Authors: Földesi Ferenc
Published: September 2020

Ennek a periódusnak az egyik legfontosabb mozzanata a közvetlen katonai ellenőrzés megszűnése, a SZKEB távozása volt Magyarország területéről. Mindez persze nem jelentett azonnali haderőfejlesztési kezdeményezést, sőt a honvédelmi miniszter figyelmez-tetett a rejtési szabályok még szigorúbb betartására. A rejtési szabályok rendszere – főleg az 1930-as évek elejétől – már nagymértékben gátolta a haderő minőségi és mennyiségi fejlesztését, végül a bledi szerződéssel a honvédelmi vezetés megszabadult ezektől a béklyóktól is. A szerződés aláírásától kezdődően nyíltan is elindulhatott a honvédség fejlesztése.A területi katonai igazgatás működésének új rendszere, a kiegészítő parancsnokságok meg-alakítása a mérföldkőnek számító, Honvédelemről szóló 1939. évi II. törvénycikk elfogadásával vette kezdetét. Hatására a területi katonai igazgatás feladat- és szervezeti rendszere letisztult, kialakultak a katonai hatósági jogkörök fokozatai.1 Ezzel együtt az újonnan kialakított hadköteles nyilvántartás rendszere már biztosította a hadsereg egyre növekvő személyi, információs, valamint egyéb, a harc megvívásához szükséges igényeit. Mindezeken túl a területi katonai igazgatás jelentős feladata volt a visszatért országrészek katonai közigaz-gatásának megszervezése és az általuk végzett munka.

Emotions are feelings which one can feel and are hard to be put in a form by a person .However they reflect the mental state of a person. Emotions like joy and sadness can be somehow detected from the facial expressions or through the body language. But these emotions do have an impact upon our system. An individual’s electrocardiogram is a way through which one can know the impact of different parameters such as stress, joy, sadness, anger on the mechanism of our body. The emotions such as anger, sadness have an adverse effect on the cardio system and is seen in the form of abnormal ECG which can be a good pointer to a counselor when finding out the reasons and diagnosis. The decomposition technique along with the Hilbert transform can be used for feature retrieval. The different emotions are detected through the binary classification technique

Study of Climate change effect on water resources is very important for its effective management. Projection of temperature and precipitation can be performed by using General Circulation Model (GCM) outputs. GCM can make the projections of climate parameters with different emission scenarios at coarser scale. However hydrological models require climate parameters at smaller scale Downscaling technique is used for obtaining small scale climate variables from large scale variables of GCM outputs. In this study downscaling has been carried out by using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) techniques. Performance of MLR and ANN models has been evaluated considering Coefficient of determination value (R2). It has been observed that ANN performs better against MLR Model, showed the results that rainfall distribution pattern is varied, in monsoon season rainfall decreases while it increases in post monsoon period. Due to its good evaluation performance such techniques can be applicable for downscaling purpose.

The development of IC integration technologies leads to an extensive use of memories and buffers in different memory intensive applications. Therefore, probability of occurrence of fault in every single read and writes operation is increased in Memory BIST (MBIST). There were many testing approaches that were developed for efficient testing and diagnosis of fault. However, all algorithms are not strengthened enough to detect all possible faults that may be present due to fabrication errors or environmental disturbance. Keeping this in mind and taking the possibility of development of efficient algorithm a hybrid memory testing algorithm is presented. To overcome those drawbacks, pipelining based MBIST designed to detect the all the types of memory faults by utilizing March-C testing algorithm. By introducing the Pipelining approach, majorly path delays are reducing. The proposed architecture designed and verified using Xilinx ISE environment under various testing methods with respect to the different category of memories. The simulation and synthesis results shows that the proposed method shows the enhanced performance with the hardware resource utilization and delay consumption compared to the conventional approaches.

The unmanned air vehicle (UAV) is mostly used in inspection and surveillance operations recent. The UAV is also termed as vertical take-off landing (VTOL), since it is capable of vertical take-off and landing without need of a runway. The big tunnels, infrastructure and large bridges are inserted using UAV by photographic inspection. UAVs are also used for surveillance purposes by the military and by the security guards. Since this is a new technology of the last decade, deep research has to be done. UAVS have the cross structure arrangement to which the rotor blades are attached at the end points of cross beams. These rotors are driven by the DC brush motors and motors are powered by the lithium ion rechargeable battery. The working principle of quad- rotors is the same as the chopper by controlling the rpm of each rotor blade, due to which the gyroscopic torque will act and the vehicle will move in the desired direction. To hold the quad- rotor at a stationary position at some height constant rpm of all rotors has to be maintained. This signal is given by the controller from some distance, which is received by the, and then it processes the signal and drives the motor via the flight controller and drives the rotors. A quad- rotor is equipped with a high quality camera for photography and video shooting during surveillance. Since a quad rotor is manoeuvring in air, the wind may exert a drag force and take it along with it and the quad rotor may hit any obstacle or inspection objects. To avoid this, it is equipped with the ultrasonic sensors which is capable of sensing the obstacle and realize collision avoidance between wall or any object.

The colposcopy is a test that is performed if you have relationed symptoms with cancer or if the result of Pap smears test gives an abnormal cells; however, it has a continue problem because there are few doctors who know about colposcopy and it leads to misinterpretation. Therefore, in the last years various proposals have emerged to solve this problem. The present study aims to identify the current state of the latest research related to the detection of cervical cancer during the colposcopy test using the image evaluation. A framework is proposed based on 3 research questions: (1) What techniques are used for image processing with colposcopy to diagnose cervical cancer? (2) What are the factors that help diagnose cervical cancer during colposcopy? And (3) What results corroborate or provide the diagnosis produced by the colposcopy test in the detection of cervical cancer? One of the results proposes that the use of Convolution Neural Network (CNN) improves the sensitivity of the diagnosis of cervical cancer, since it achieved greater precision in colposcopy image processing. Furthermore, the diagnosis can be corroborated with the “results” of the “Biopsy” and “Expert Judgment”.

Sorting is the process of systematic selection and arrangement. Sorting involves intense labor work. The use of Artificial Intelligence in recognizing the objects by their color makes the process of sorting completely autonomous. Modern Industries require modern solutions for the problems encountered during the process of sorting. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, the machines that can recognize an object by their color proves to be a primary solution that can completely automate the process of sorting. This paper presents a five-axis arm mounted on a robotic model that makes use of a color sorting technique. It performs pick and place operations in real-time. The color sorting technique detects the color of the object in the frame captured by the camera. The frame size is used to detect the position of the object in the real world. The robot model moves according to the frame size of the object. Raspberry Pi microcontroller drives the servo motor and dc motor to move the five-axis arm and the robotic model to sort and perform pick and place operation based on their color. The color sorting algorithm is based on the Hue-Saturation-Value model. This model finds its application in places where sorting is done based on color and not the object itself. For example, it is used to sort objects like different colored clothes, food items, etc. It also finds its application in very large scale warehouses such as Amazon, Flipkart, etc which focusses on smart automated warehouses that reduce the labor requirements.
Trajectory Based Location Prediction and Enriched Ontological User Profiles for Efficient Website Recommendation

Published: September 2020

The spread over of huge amount of information in the vast area of internet makes difficult for the users to obtain the search items that are relevant to them. The adoption of web usage mining helps to discover the accurate search results that satisfy their requirements. To fulfill their need, it is necessary to know their preferences of search at various contexts. In general, the user profiles are used to determine the taste of the users. The traditional method of user profiling does not provide a complete detail regarding their search. In addition, the search preference of the individuals varies in accordance with time and location. The user profiles do not update the dynamic location changes of the users. The traditional location based recommendation systems suggest the search results based on their location to compensate the dynamic preferences of the users. The drawbacks of the conventional systems are resolved by the Location and User Profile (LUP) based recommendation system. To attain a higher user satisfaction by providing accurate search results, a trajectory based location prediction and enriched ontological user profiles to recommend the appropriate websites to the users is proposed in this paper. In this article, we suggest a novel method for predicting the location of a user’s profile using Semantic Trajectory Pattern (STP), based on both the place and semantic features of user trajectories. Our prediction model ‘s central concept is based on a novel cluster-based prediction approach that evaluates the location of user search data based on the regular activities of related users in the same cluster, calculated by evaluating the typical behavior of users in semantic trajectories. The combination of location information along with enriched ontological user profiles improves the efficiency of the proposed web recommendation system. The experimental results are evaluated using recall, precision and F-measure metrics.

Transfer learning is one of the most amazing concepts in machine learning and A.I. Transfer learning is completely unsupervised model. Transfer learning is a machine learning technique in which a network that has been trained to perform a specific task is being reused or repurposed as a starting point to perform another similar task. For this work I used ImageNet Dataset and MobileNet model to analyse Accuracy performance of my Deep Transform learning model on GPU of Intel® Core™ i3-7100U CPU using TensorFlow 2.0 Hub and Keras. ImageNet is an open source Large-Scale dataset of images consisting of 1000 classes and over 1.5 million images. And my overall idea is to analyse accuracy of Vision performance on the very poor network configuration. This work reached an Accuracy almost near to 100% on GPU of Intel® Core™ i3-7100U CPU which is great result with datasets used in this work are not easy to deal and having a lot of classes. That’s why it’s impacting the performance of the network. To classify and predict from tons of images from more classes on low configured network is really challenging one, it’s a great thing the computer vision accuracy showed an excellent vision nearly 100% on GPU in my work.
A RARE GENETIC MUTATION PRESENTING AS SCHWACHMAN DIAMOND SYNDROME
Authors: Nair Greeshma K. , Pawar Sameer , Rajput Uday , Kinikar Aarti
Published: September 2020

Schwachman Diamond Syndrome is an extremely rare genetic condition with autosomal recessive inheritance characterized by multisystem involvement with considerable phenotypic variation(1). Its epidemiology is not well studied in Asia. Only 65cases have been reported from Asia most of them from Japan(1). Life span is usually 35 years but those with haematological complications have reduced life expectancy(2). We report to you a case of 14 month old boy with complaints of chronic diarrhoea and not gaining weight with previous history of multiple admissions for pneumonia, diarrhoea transfusions for severe anaemia since last 7- 8 months. Baseline investigations were suggestive of bicytopenia initially and later progressed to pancytopenia and hence bone marrow examination was done which was suggestive of bone marrow failure together with features of malabsorption lead to suspicion of Schwachman Diamond syndrome and hence genetic study was done which showed DNAJC21 gene mutation which is a rare mutation causing Schwachman Diamond Syndrome which has not been reported before to the best of our knowledge.
Our case highlights that for diagnosis of such a rare genetic disorder requires a high index of suspicion as the cost for investigation is high and hence to come to a diagnosis on such a presentation due to its multisystem involvement is very crucial for early intervention and cure and reports a rare mutation of Schwachman Diamond Syndrome.

En los últimos años, diferentes técnicasy frameworks han surgido con el fin de proveer una solución para crear aplicaciones cross-platform. El objetivo es desarrollar un solo código que puede serdesplegado en diferentes sistemas operativos yproveer una experiencia completamente nativa. Desde 2015, React Native ha sido promocionado como una opción para desarrollar aplicaciones móviles con el objetivo de escribir el código una sola vez y desplegarlo en cualquier plataforma perfectamente. Al momento no hay otra librería JavaScript que permita el desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles nativas. Este trabajorealiza un análisis experimental con una visión imparcial, basada en la experiencia del desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles utilizando React Native y código nativo. Analiza varios escenarios para elegir analíticamente código nativo, React Native o una combinación de ambospara desarrollar una aplicación móvil. Algunas conclusiones encontradas sostienen que la elección de la tecnología depende de la naturaleza del proyecto, tiempo, presupuesto, experiencia del equipo de desarrollo y los requerimientos de la aplicación.
Implementasi Qawaid Fiqhiyyah Dalam Ekonomi Dan Industri Keuangan Syariah
Authors: Maulana Irwan
Published: September 2020

The existence of Islamic Principles of Jurisprudences (qawa'id fiqhiyyah) is to provide a more practical guide derived from the original text, namely al-Qur'an and al- Hadith to the community. With this, some theologians (ulama) can prepare life guidelines for Muslims in different spheres from time to time and place to place. As is known, Islam gives its people the opportunity through those who have the authority to carry out ijtihad in various ways guided by the Messenger of Allah, through ijma', qiyas, istihsan, istishab, istislah (masalihul-mursalah) and so on to look for truth that has not been explained in detail in the Qur'an and the Hadith of the Muhammad SAW. Likewise, in economic life, or in the treasury of the works of earlier fuqaha commonly called muamalah, the use of qawa'id fiqhiyyah becomes very important. "All forms of muamalah are basically changed (permissible) unless there is a argument that forbids it". This qaidah is the main qaidah in every halal of all forms of economic and financial transactions unless there is a reason for the sharia prohibition. There are at least five qa'idah-hakyyah known as al-Asasiyyatul-Khamsah which in its application ulama classify qawa'id into six different fields, namely mahdhah (special) worship, ahwal as-Syahshiyyah (personal and family matters), you 'amalah maaliyah (economic transactions), jinayah (criminality), siyasah (politics), and fiqh qadhaya (procedural law and justice). The purpose of this paper is to find out how the implementation or implementation of qawaid fiqhiyyah in the sharia economy and financial industry.

Perú y Brasil entre el Pacífico y el Atlántico
Authors: Chuquihuara Luis
Published: September 2020

En 1909, el "Tratado de Límites, Comercio y Navegación" suscrito entre el Perú y Brasil, representados por sus entonces cancilleres, Hernán Velarde y el Barón de Rio Branco, estableció definitivamente la delimitación fronteriza entre ambos países. Dicho instrumento jurídico bilateral, sin embargo no modificó pautas históricas. Antes y después, ambos estados impulsaron orientaciones de desarrollo que prescindieron del eje andino-amazónico como espacio natural para dinamizar y proyectar la interrelación vecinal. Desde la colonia y durante gran parte del período republicano, la tendencia geopolítica prevaleciente, tanto en Perú como en Brasil, fue el desarrollo de las franjas costeras como núcleos de articulación política, económica y social.
Cusco, ¿ciudad eterna?
Authors: Quedena Enrique
Published: September 2020

Un rasgo distintivo de nuestras principales ciudades es la forma en que éstas han sido modeladas en los últimos treinta años. A pesar de la presencia de un conjunto numeroso de instituciones creadas y desaparecidas para atender los problemas del crecimiento urbano y la vivienda, es poco, en realidad, en lo que estas instituciones han participado para definir la estructura urbana. Es más fácil recordarlas, por ejemplo, en el caso de SINAMOS, tratando de promover un modelo que fue producto de acciones espontáneas de la población.
Después de Arguedas
Authors: Rowe William
Published: September 2020

Propongo un ensamblaje de textos —una confrontación provocadora de algunos textos— más que un comentario. Por eso se ha limitado en lo posible todo lo que correspondería a una descripción. El análisis que se ofrece está mayormente en las yuxtaposiciones mismas. Primero, sin embargo, habría que comenzar con un preámbulo para situar los materiales. Pasar de la historiografía meramente criolla hacia lo que podría ser una imagen total del Perú (reconocible por todos) ha sido una de las preocupaciones de los historiadores peruanos del siglo XX.
Un asomo a la otredad

Al recorrer la espesura de la historia de México, cualquier viajero, experto o inexperto, se encuentra con rostros y figuras variadas. Los rostros de la otredad se han ido transformando a lo largo de los siglos, pero el material con el cual están hechos no ha sido muy distinto. Los acontecimientos históricos, las visiones ideológicas y las formas de descubrir y relatar han modelado de manera diferencial los complejos fragmentos de otredad depositados en aquel caleidoscopio que descubrió Colón.
La bandera mexicana

Los países suelen tener una bandera que representa la unidad, la independencia o los valores nacionales más estimados. Cada bandera expresa esos valores con un simbolismo propio, inconfundible, y les confiere con un simbolismo propio, inconfundible, y les confiere la representación de la identidad nacional. Lo distintivo de la bandera mexicana es que en su hechura participaron tres tradiciones diferentes: la indígena, la herencia religiosa hispánica y colonial y la tradición liberal que propuso fundar estados autónomos y soberanos.
El mundo andino y los medios de comunicación
Authors: Arnold Simón Pedro
Published: September 2020

Los grandes peruanistas, y particularmente José Carlos Mariátegui, fundador del Partido Comunista Peruano e ideólogo del primer orden, concuerdan en reconocer que la identidad nacional peruana se presenta bajo la forma de mosaico, es decir, de un  conjunto de elementos sumamente diversos, casi divergentes, teniendo prácticamente muy pocos lazos los unos con los otros. En otras palabras, el Perú aparece como una realidad sumamente fragmentada, donde difícilmente es posible reunir los pedazos. Esto es claramente constatable a nivel histórico y político. La realidad económica refleja igualmente estas divergencias.
