Statistical machine translation systems are usually trained on large amounts of micro-blog sentiment detection on a faction of users, which classifies micro-blog posts which are generated by each user into expressive or non-expressive categories. This particular online learning task is challenging for a number of reasons. To achieve the major requirement of online applications, a highly efficient and scalable problem that can give sudden assumption with low learning cost. This requirement leaves conventional batch learning algorithms out of consideration. Then, novel organization methods, be it group or online, often encounter a dilemma when applied to a group of process, i.e., on one hand, a single classification model trained on the entire collection of data from all tasks may fail to capture characteristics of individual task; on the other hand, a model trained separately on individual tasks may suffer from insufficient training data. To rectify this problem in this paper, we propose a Edification training for participating in various activities through online, from this we can geographical model over the entire data of all process. Another part individual model for various related process are combined inferred by to make cost effective in the global model through a Edification training via online approach.

Authors: Mathew Alexander , Moindi Gayatri , Bende Ketan , Singh Neha
Published: February 2022

Identity crime is common, and pricey, and credit card fraud is a specific case of identity crime. The existing systems of known fraud matching and business rules have restrictions. To remove these negative aspects in real world, this paper proposes a data mining approach: Communal Detection (CD) and Spike Detection (SD). CD finds real social relationships to reduce the suspicion score, and is impervious to fake social relationships. This approach on a fixed set of attributes is whitelist-oriented. SD increases the suspicion score by finding discrepancies in duplicates. These data mining approaches can detect more types of attacks and removes the unnecessary attributes.

Published: February 2022

Computer technology is reaching new milestones with every passing day but authentication schemes are still weak in their approach. Many cases of forgeries, hacked accounts are coming up every day. Many authentication schemes have been proposed but each has some drawbacks. Hence, the 3D authentication scheme has been introduced. The 3D password is a multi-layer, multifactor authentication mechanism. It consists of a 3D virtual environment on which a user has to perform certain actions. The sequence of user interactions determines the user’s 3D password. It combines all existing authentication schemes like textual, graphical and bio-metrics into a single 3D virtual environment. This report presents a study of the 3D password and an approach to strengthen it by way of adding a Fourth dimension (4D), that deals with gesture recognition and time recording, and that would help strengthen the authentication paradigm altogether. Hence we attempt to propose a 4D password as a super class of 3D password.

SAT-COMM – Fade Inteferance and Band Mitigation Analysis
Authors: Kumar Ravi , Ghai Ritika
Published: February 2022

When it comes to address the capacity issue in satellite communication, the first technique to consider is the multi-beam coverage, with a high number of beams that allow a high degree of frequency reuse. In order to increase even more that capacity, the second step is to utilize higher frequency bands such as Ka (20-30 GHz), Q/V (40-50 GHz) or EHF (20-45 GHz) bands, where respectively, 1 GHz, 3 GHz and 2 GHz are allocated to the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS). The first c ommercial satellites with Ka-band transponders are today in operation, and it is expected that the congestion in lower fre quency bands like Ku-band will push new systems into moving progressively to Ka band and, in a longer term, to Q/V b and. Depending on the type of mission, Ka-Q/V band satellite could be envisaged as, for example, for two way broadba nd access services characterised by a high asymmetrical traffic, using part of the Ka-band for user access while data dist ribution service could take most advantage of wider bandwidth in Q/V band. Although Ka and Q/V bands are attractive from the point of view of the amount of frequency bandwidth that the satellit e can potentially use, some important limitation could moderate the enthusiasm of using them if specific techniques wer e not implemented in the satellite system to guarantee the capacity, the availability and the quality of service. The major limitation is the effect of radio-wave propagation through the lowest layers of the atmosphere. As the operating frequenc y is increased, the attenuation and scintillation effects of atmospheric gas, clouds and rain become more severe, the direc t consequence is the need to implement high system static margins, in order to insure a minimum outage duration of the service, for a given objective of link availability. However, technology limitation (on both terrestrial and space segments) combined with cost efficiency requirements refrain from considering fixed static margins as the only mean to compens ate propagation impairments at high frequency bands, and push towards the implementation of Fade Mitigation Techniq ues (FMT). The aim of this paper is to present the main issues in designing FMTs for Ka-Q/V band satellite communica tion systems. First of all, the conventional design of the physical layer of a satcom system is outlined. Afterwards, a revi ew of FMT concepts and related interference issues are presented followed by the examination of the impact on upper la yer. Finally, the main aspects of FMT design are investigated before proposing some recommendations. IFMT practical implementation (detection scheme and estimation techniques, consequences on signalling and impact on synchronisatio n) will not be dealt with in this paper as it is the object of [3].

The research aims to highlight how Matera and Pompeii, both UNESCO sites are united by a thousand-year-old history always alive, a heritage made of archaeological remains, paintings, frescoes and intangible goods. Henry Vollam Morton in his book "A traveler in Southern Italy" tells of his visit to Matera in the 60’s, when the Sassi had been abandoned and the population moved for the most part to new neighborhoods, and the city appears to his eyes as "an incredible Pompeii” suspended between past and future, once lived and then abandoned.

Today both realities live again thanks to people and institutions who believed in the possibility to restore their life through technology and to resurface enclosed treasures still to be discovered.

Pompeii, an ancient Roman colony, although it seems for its history a crystallized city, is always alive and moving thanks to the continuous discoveries that make it one of the most visited destinations with an exponential growth of tourists.

Matera was in the last century with the agricultural neighborhood and it is now because like other cities it is into the phase of experimenting with ultra-fast 5g telephony.

The 5G experiment has shown that the use of satellite technologies can be of great help to the management and sustainability of cultural landscapes because of support to the development of culture and creativity to the management of visitors, the organization of the tourist destination and the use of cultural heritage and also it enhance and preserves agricultural landscapes and productions, as an expression of the relationship of the community with the natural space.
Diversity of Induced M1V4 Mutant Population of Cassava (Mahinot Esculanta Crantz)
Authors: Kinyua Miriam , Okwaro Henry
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT
Cassava owns a small genome (about 770 Mb), it is considered as an allopolyploid with a high level of heterozygosity characteristics which severely hamper the speed and ease of introgressing useful genes in cassava. Mutation techniques form a classical procedure of development of variation in crops like cassava while genetic markers can be used to reveal genetic variation in the germplasm. This study was undertaken to determine the genetic relatedness of mutagenised cassava early generation populations through phenotypic and genetic marker procedures. Diversity of mutagenised population of cassava at M1V4 generation was examined at seedling stage in the greenhouse and at adult stage in the field through checking phenotypic and genetic traits. Plant height, number of lobes on leaves, petiole colour, number of nodes per stem and gel separation of PCR products developed from SSR markers differed significantly between selected putative mutants as well as in comparison with parent line. For example plant height of the 10 selected mutants ranged from 16 cm to 113cm where the parent grew to 24.33 cm while the number of nodes ranged from 11 to 24 with the parent having 13 nodes. Diversity of the mutant lines was demonstrated and further studies can be undertaken to quantify the variation for breeding and production of cassava.

This study analyzed the benthic community structure during fallow season in Kole paddy fields, a part of Vembanad Kole wetlands (a Ramsar site), Northern Kerala, India. Study area during fallow season was characterized by isolated water patches amidst of terrestrial vegetation (grass). The macrobenthic fauna belonged to the phyla Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca and families Tubificidae, Naididae, Chironomidae, Ceratopogonida, Chaoboridae, Ceratopogonidae, Gyrinidae and Bithynidae. These organisms possessed various survival mechanisms that ensured their survival against dry periods. Insects were the major benthic organisms; the habitat fragmentation due to isolated distant water patches during fallow season favored insect taxa more due to their active/flight mode of dispersal compared to oligochaetes which are benthic crawlers. Macrobenthic abundance was less (166±60 ind./m2), attributed to reduced habitable area for benthos due to habitat desiccation. A decline in abundance was apparent from January to June 2010, the beginning to end of fallow season except in April where the onset of rain after a dry spell made the dry area wet, thereby making the inactive dormant forms of organisms live, resulting in an increased abundance. Diversity analysis of benthic families revealed that highest richness (d) of 1.235 was in March and diversity (H') of 2.603 was in March. No significant correlation emerged between benthic abundance and the measured environmental parameters, implying that the interaction of biota and physico chemical variables was overridden by someother unmeasured factors.
A Patchwork Family: The Struggle for Survival in Pölsler’s Austrian Movie Die Wand
Authors: Rölz Eckhard
Published: February 2022

The movie Die Wand (2013) was hugely successful in the German-speaking world and once dubbed, also in other countries. It is often described as a film depicting a woman living in utter isolation cut off from any social contact. I, however, argue that the protagonist, though she is without any human contact, creates a family-like order with the animals that have flocked to her. She is the dominant mother figure who takes care of her“children” and defends them when needed.

Development of character virtue is the key to personal, academic, and professional success in life. Today, we face enormous challenges in educating of young people, who provide youth with basic academic, knowledge and skills, accordingly, promote their character development. Modern global culture suffers from a variety of negative trends which are reflected and reinforced in the world of education. These challenges include a perceived decline in the value of intelligence, complex thought, wisdom of superficiality in favor, and the loss of intellectual and moral standards. These conditions will affect their mindset, attitude and behavior that will eventually form of character of individual and community and so will be affected to the society life, especially the characters of young generation. According to Rosenshine and Stevens, 1986, teaching behavior correlate with the student performance to support and develop student’s self-identity. Historically, schools have always had responsibility for both academic and character development. Regarding education’s wisdom, students need to develop “learning strategies” that support their life-long learning. To do so, education today should facilitate the development of interpretative skills, deep understanding to face and solve the complex problems. Performance of professional teachers must be raised and clearly existence of knowledge by aggregation of skills, technology, and ethics disposition.

This has necessitated the increase in global competition and liberalisation of markets combined with change in consumer demand, values and priorities. This has forced companies to cut out wasteful and unproductive activities and concentrate on areas of competence to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Also, the worldwide economic recession has reduced the consumer purchasing power and brought companies face to face with complex cross-cultural issues and competition that necessitates aggressive publicity and marketing for its survival in a depressed economy. Furthermore, to survive this unprecedented turmoil, most organisations especially commercial theatre had to embark on a number of measures including aggressive publicity and marketing, For the theatre industries to survive the 21st century in a depressed economy, it must be responsive to its environment, as well as be creative, built on trust and developed self-knowledge.

This paper therefore analyses different methods used by commercial theatre organisations in the current dispensation when the nation is facing a downturn economy and equally suggests new strategies employed by them towards alleviating their economic challenges
