A Deep Learning Approach to Intrusion Detection and Segmentation in Pellet Fuels Using Microscopic Images
Authors: Iwaszenko Sebastian , Szymańska Marta , Róg Leokadia
Published: July 2023

Pellet fuels are nowadays commonly used as a heat source for food preparation. Unfortunately, they may contain intrusions which might be harmful for humans and the environment. The intrusions can be identified precisely using immersed microscopy analysis. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of autonomous identification of selected classes of intrusions using relatively simple deep learning models. The semantic segmentation was chosen as a method for impurity identification in the microscopic image. Three architectures of deep networks based on UNet architecture were examined. The networks contained the same depth as UNet but with a successively limited number of filters. The input image influence on the segmentation results was also examined. The efficiency of the network was assessed using the intersection over union index. The results showed an easily observable impact of the filter used on segmentation efficiency. The influence of the input image resolution is not so clear, and even the lowest (256 × 256 pixels) resolution used gave satisfactory results. The biggest (but still smaller than originally proposed UNet) network yielded segmentation quality good enough for practical applications. The simpler one was also applicable, although the quality of the segmentation decreased considerably. The simplest network gave poor results and is not suitable in applications. The two proposed networks can be used as a support for domain experts in practical applications.

Published: July 2023

Tunnel linings require routine inspection as they have a big impact on a tunnel’s safety and longevity. In this study, the convolutional neural network was utilized to develop the MFF-YOLO model. To improve feature learning efficiency, a multi-scale feature fusion network was constructed within the neck network. Additionally, a reweighted screening method was devised at the prediction stage to address the problem of duplicate detection frames. Moreover, the loss function was adjusted to maximize the effectiveness of model training and improve its overall performance. The results show that the model has a recall and accuracy that are 7.1% and 6.0% greater than those of the YOLOv5 model, reaching 89.5% and 89.4%, respectively, as well as the ability to reliably identify targets that the previous model error detection and miss detection. The MFF-YOLO model improves tunnel lining detection performance generally.

The soft tissues of residual limb amputees are subject to large volume fluctuations over the course of a day. Volume fluctuations in residual limbs can lead to local pressure marks, causing discomfort, pain and rejection of prostheses. Existing methods for measuring interface stress encounter several limitations. A major problem is that the measurement instrumentation is applied in the sensitive interface between the prosthesis and residual limb. This paper presents the principle investigation of a non-intrusive technique to evaluate the fit of orthopaedic prosthesis sockets in transfemoral amputees based on experimentally obtained vibrational data. The proposed approach is based on changes in the dynamical behaviour detectable at the outer surface of prostheses; thus, the described interface is not affected. Based on the experimental investigations shown and the derived results, it can be concluded that structural dynamic measurements are a promising non-intrusive technique to evaluate the fit of orthopaedic prosthesis sockets in transfemoral amputee patients. The obtained resonance frequency changes of 2% are a good indicator of successful applicabilityas these changes can be detected without the need for complex measurement devices.

Published: July 2023

The advent of Industry 4.0 introduced new ways for businesses to evolve by implementing maintenance policies leading to advancements in terms of productivity, efficiency, and financial performance. In line with the growing emphasis on sustainability, industries implement predictive techniques based on Artificial Intelligence for the purpose of mitigating machine and equipment failures by predicting anomalies during their production process. In this work, a new dataset that was made publicly available, collected from an industrial blower, is presented, analyzed and modeled using a Sequence-to-Sequence Stacked Sparse Long Short-Term Memory Autoencoder. Specifically the right and left mounted ball bearing units were measured during several months of normal operational condition as well as during an encumbered operational state. An anomaly detection model was developed for the purpose of analyzing the operational behavior of the two bearing units. A stacked sparse Long Short-Term Memory Autoencoder was successfully trained on the data obtained from the left unit under normal operating conditions, learning the underlying patterns and statistical connections of the data. The model was evaluated by means of the Mean Squared Error using data from the unit’s encumbered state, as well as using data collected from the right unit. The model performed satisfactorily throughout its evaluation on all collected datasets. Also, the model proved its capability for generalization along with adaptability on assessing the behavior of equipment similar to the one it was trained on.

Published: July 2023

Statistical learning techniques and increased computational power have facilitated the development of self-driving car technology. However, a limiting factor has been the high expense of scaling and maintaining high-definition (HD) maps. These maps are a crucial backbone for many approaches to self-driving technology. In response to this challenge, we present an approach that fuses pre-built point cloud map data with images to automatically and accurately identify static landmarks such as roads, sidewalks, and crosswalks. Our pipeline utilizes semantic segmentation of 2D images, associates semantic labels with points in point cloud maps to pinpoint locations in the physical world, and employs a confusion matrix formulation to generate a probabilistic bird’s-eye view semantic map from semantic point clouds. The approach has been tested in an urban area with different segmentation networks to generate a semantic map with road features. The resulting map provides a rich context of the environment that is valuable for downstream tasks such as trajectory generation and intent prediction. Moreover, it has the potential to be extended to the automatic generation of HD maps for semantic features. The entire software pipeline is implemented in the robot operating system (ROS), a widely used robotics framework, and made available.

In this paper, carbon nanotubes (CNT) are synthesized using the microwave oven method, which offers several advantages, including a simple, quick, inexpensive, and solvent-free growing method. To produce CNT, a mixture of graphite and ferrocene catalysts had to be flattened inside a microwave oven for five seconds at room temperature. CNT was produced using various ratios of graphite and ferrocene, and analyses indicated that a 70:30 graphite/ferrocene ratio produced better nanocrystalline CNT. To optimize CNT properties, five processes of purification were used to dispose of impurities like metal particles and support material from the as-produced carbon nanotubes. Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to characterize the CNTs both after and before purification. After acid treatment and centrifugation, the amount of amorphous carbon and iron particles significantly decreased. Additionally, following the purification process, the ID/IG decreased by 0.14 and the I2D/ID increased by 0.55 for the purified CNTs. Furthermore, the FTIR spectra of the untreated and functionalized CNTs confirm the presence of carboxyl groups on pure CNTs and -OH moieties in sorbed water.

Online revision process in clause-boundary garden-path sentences
Authors: Fujita Hiroki
Published: July 2023

A long-standing question in sentence processing research concerns the online parsing process in clause-boundary garden-path sentences, such as After Mary dressed John bathed. In this sentence, “John” must be parsed as the matrix subject DP but can be locally analysed as the object of the embedded verb. There is considerable evidence that the parser misanalyses these garden-path sentences. However, the controversy lies in whether the parser revises them during the online parsing process. The present study investigated this revision process through two self-paced reading experiments utilising grammatical constraints on reflexives and subject or object relative clauses embedded within the locally ambiguous DP. The results provided evidence of revision when a subject relative clause was embedded but not when an object relative clause was embedded. These findings suggest that the parser assigns grammatical structures that correspond to input strings during the revision of clause-boundary ambiguities but that object relative clauses affect the online revision process.

Published: July 2023

The ocean economy is directly linked to the biodiversity of the ocean. Biodiversity is under great threat as a result of the effects of climate change and global warming. Therefore, the ocean economy and the marine economy are among the economies that will be most affected by the effects of climate change. Each change in ocean and sea levels causes changes in biodiversity. Considering its importance in terms of food health, economic and social development, the sustainability of the marine economy is an important issue. The aim of this study is to present indicators of ocean economy among OECD countries and show the importance of ocean and marine economy in the long term.
Trypanosoma brucei Invariant Surface gp65 Inhibits the Alternative Pathway of Complement by Accelerating C3b Degradation

Published: July 2023

Trypanosomes are known to activate the complement system on their surface, but they control the cascade in a manner such that the cascade does not progress into the terminal pathway. It was recently reported that the invariant surface glycoprotein ISG65 from Trypanosoma brucei interacts reversibly with complement C3 and its degradation products, but the molecular mechanism by which ISG65 interferes with complement activation remains unknown. In this study, we show that ISG65 does not interfere directly with the assembly or activity of the two C3 convertases. However, ISG65 acts as a potent inhibitor of C3 deposition through the alternative pathway in human and murine serum. Degradation assays demonstrate that ISG65 stimulates the C3b to iC3b converting activity of complement factor I in the presence of the cofactors factor H or complement receptor 1. A structure-based model suggests that ISG65 promotes a C3b conformation susceptible to degradation or directly bridges factor I and C3b without contact with the cofactor. In addition, ISG65 is observed to form a stable ternary complex with the ligand binding domain of complement receptor 3 and iC3b. Our data suggest that ISG65 supports trypanosome complement evasion by accelerating the conversion of C3b to iC3b through a unique mechanism.
To leave or not to leave: Stories of migration from Hong Kong
Authors: Joyce Ng
Published: July 2023

Michael White described therapy as ‘joining with people around issues that are particularly relevant and pressing to them’. At the moment, considerations about staying or leaving are on the minds of a lot of people in Hong Kong. This paper seeks to demonstrate the application of narrative practice in supporting people to respond to the challenges associated with leaving the land we call home. It addresses different moments in the migration experience, from making the decision and preparing for departure, to finding ways to maintain connection with people and places when separated by distance. The skills and knowledge that participants developed through each of these stages were recorded in a series of collective documents that tell a different story about the resilience of Hongkongers during this period in history, and their eagerness to contribute to others experiencing similar predicaments.
Reseña a "La democracia y la calle. Protestas y contrahegemonía en el Perú." de Carmen Ilizarbe
Authors: Mitrovic Mijail
Published: July 2023

En este libro, Carmen Ilizarbe analiza las formas emergentes de la praxis política en el Perú entre 1997, el inicio del fin de la dictadura de Fujimori, y 2006, el fin del gobierno de Toledo, con la transición en medio. La Marcha de los 4 Suyos (M4S) constituye el punto nodal para examinar los procesos previos que llevan a que la calle se convierta en la principal arena de la política, espacio «que compite codo a codo con la arena institucional» (p.19). Arena donde entra en juego una soberanía popular que ha mostrado capacidad de enfrentamiento y veto ante varios gobiernos, y que ha puesto en escena una subjetividad política particular. Espacio de disputa y encuentro, de conflicto y de subversión carnavalesca del orden social, la calle también ha sido el lugar para constatar los límites de la política en tiempos neoliberales.

Published: July 2023

La formación inicial de maestros, en relación con la enseñanza de las matemáticas, constituye un reto que debe afrontarse desde los resultados de investigación sobre conocimiento profesional propios del área. Estas investigaciones han permitido desarrollar un modelo sobre el conocimiento especializado del profesor de matemáticas que puede usarse para estructurar programas y tareas de formación de profesores. Nuestro objetivo es reflexionar sobre la evolución de las tareas formativas propuestas en un curso de didáctica de la geometría en el Grado de Maestra/o de Primaria, como consecuencia de la transferencia de resultados de investigación. El foco de la tarea se sitúa en la construcción de la definición de polígono y en la ejemplificación como herramienta de enseñanza. Realizamos un análisis de contenido del diseño e implementación de la tarea en dos momentos (con datos de la videograbación y producciones de los estudiantes para maestro). Se constata que la movilización de conocimiento didáctico del contenido es más evidente en el segundo momento de implementación, en parte por el papel del análisis de un video de una clase real de Primaria. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la importancia de una mirada teórica sobre el conocimiento que se pretende construir con las tareas formativas.

The paper presents the methodology to compute modulo multiplication with the moduli set 2n, 2n−1, 2n+1. In addition to this, designs of the modulo multipliers, namely 2n, 2n−1, and 2n+1 (with n = 4, 8, and 16), have been proposed which are based on half adders, full adders, 4:3 compressor, 7:3 compressor, and the multi-column compressor namely 5,5:4. The gate level design of 4:3 compressor is carried out by solving the truth table using the K-map reduction. To verify the functionalities we have implemented the proposed modulo multipliers using VHDL coding in Xilinx 14.2 design suite. Simulation using Virtex-6 device has been performed to estimate delay, power consumption, and power-delay product (PDP). Moreover, the modulo multipliers are simulated in Cadence RC compiler using 0.18 µm technology to estimate the area. One of the major contributions to the arts of this work is in the partial product reduction stage which utilizes the multi-column 5,5:4 compressor to reduce power and area. The modulo 2n−1 multiplier of operand size 4-bit shows an improvement of 66.34% in terms of area over the best-reported paper. On the other hand, the modulo 2n+1 multiplier of operand size 4-bit shows an improvement of 58.59% terms of in area and the same of operand size 8-bit shows an improvement of 22.72% over the best-reported paper. The proposed algorithms of moduli multiplication are applicable to Booth multiplication of signed numbers.

Published: July 2023

As a greener method of preparing molecules, mechanochemistry has recently been identified as an ideal strategyfor preparing diverse molecules. It is becoming a valuable synthetic tool for multiple fields (e.g., physics, chemistry,and materials science) because it can be performed without solvents or with minimal solvents (catalytic quantities).The use of sustainable methods has been beneficial to several fields of chemistry, including pharmaceuticals,fertilizers, catalysis, organic synthesis, preparation of medicinal solid forms, and synthesis of metal complexes.Pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical chemistry will likely be significantly impacted by these developments inmedicinal mechanochemistry. Due to their reactivity and materials, they provide materials that are hard to extractfrom a solution or are not possible. Nevertheless, these technologies could provide the pharmaceutical sectorwith safer, cleaner, and more effective synthetic solutions. The importance of mechanochemical processes in thecreation of pharmaceutical cocrystals, especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), is discussed inthis article.

Published: July 2023

The word SARS, abbreviated “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome,” has been related to the Coronavirus-2 andis considered to be the major cause of COVID-19. People are dying as a result of a severe infection. A boosterdose is applicable to boost the host body’s immunity against omicron attacks. No special precaution is neededto do except those which were already done for the COVID virus. The herd immunity developed against COVIDcannot be developed against omicron. The booster vaccination will only reduce the infection severity, but it will notcompletely destroy the infection in the body. This omicron virus has the ability to quickly elucidate host immunityby creating mutations in its behavior such that host immunity becomes unable to recognize the antigen (omicron)inside the body.

This study draws attention to how public procurement adds value and contributes to the achievement of the United Nation’s sustainable development goals (UN SDGs) based on an extensive literature review. A total of 29 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015-2022 with a focus on sustainable public procurement (SPP) practices and SDGs were retrieved from the Web of Science and Emerald databases for analysis. From the reviewed articles, we develop a conceptual model for better illustration and understanding of the link between SPP practices and SDGs. The model indicates that the achievement of SGDs can be influenced by four dimensions, namely: the underlying principles of SPP, the fundamental practices of SPP principles, the drivers of SPP principles, and the perceived roles of SPP practices which are aligned with the targets of UN SDGs. The analysis of the study revealed that SPP can impact up to 70% (12 out of 17) of UN SDGs. It is established that pubic procurement performs important functions in a diligent manner which adds value and delivers core services to societies, thus supporting the achievement of SDGs. Individual commitment and political will, strong enforcement and control mechanisms, continuous monitoring and assessment of the target areas, and offering inclusive solutions and shared visions among actors are identified as the drivers for building resilience in SPP and achievement of SDGs. The developed model could serve as a basis for identifying the deficiencies in SPP and achievement of SDGs for policy implications, reform, and future research domains.

The increase in road traffic and transport demand in recent years, especially since the early 1990s, has caused traffic congestion, accidents, delays and environmental complications, especially in developing cities. Both cars and public transport are affected and it has numerous negative social consequences in addition to reducing economic efficiency. In densely populated areas, urbanization, followed by the increasing need for mobility, has been subjected to constant stress and consequently to the deterioration of efficiency and safety performance. The situation is further aggravated by the growing number of private cars. The transportation and traffic problems in every city are just a reflection of poor land use planning and organization. Improving the existing infrastructure involves prohibitive costs, therefore it is desirable to use it to its maximum capacity. Nowadays, cities face the challenge of improving the quality of life by limiting road congestion, reducing air pollution emissions and road accidents.

Hyponatremia is a frequent electrolyte imbalance with diverse etiology that may occur secondary to chemotherapy or autoimmune pathologies. We report the case of a 76-years-old female who presented for symptoms of severe hyponatremia like digestive intolerance, nausea, vomiting, generalized muscle weakness and vertigo, with a serum sodium level of 110 mEq/L. The patient was known with multiple cardiovascular and malignant comorbidities, being diagnosed with a right breast neoplasm with right radical mastectomy and axillary lymphadenectomy. Subsequently, multiple adenopathies were detected, which is why the patient followed several series of chemotherapy with trastuzumab and capecitabinum. These drugs can cause side effects, such as xerophthalmia, xerostomia, which are also frequently encountered in autoimmune pathologies. Hyponatremia is one of the most frequent side effects of capecitabinum. All these side reactions were investigated later, thus following the immunological tests, the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome was established. After ruling out other causes, it was established that hyponatremia appeared secondary to the recent administration of capecitabinum or within a syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), which can be the result of a Sjogren's syndrome.
