Classification of different analog and digital modulation classes using Time-Frequency Transforms (TFTs) through MST and MFSWT under ideal channel conditions is presented in this paper. It also deals with performance analysis of proposed Modified S- Transform (MST) and Modified Frequency Slice Wavelet Transform (MFSWT) based Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) methods under different channel conditions such as Gaussian and fading channels. The performance of the proposed TFT based AMC methods under AWGN (with SNR values varied from -10 dB to 20 dB) and fading channels is examined through simulation. Moreover, the performance of the proposed TFT based AMC is compared with that of the existing techniques in terms of performance metric namely classification accuracy which is also discussed in this paper.

Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) is the upcoming future prospect in 5G networks. Lack of available spectrum is a serious problem in the networking industry nowadays since, for each individual organization only a limited spectrum bandwidth is offered by National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). The problem arises due to the increase in the number of users who are supposed to use a limited amount of available bandwidth. Using spectrum handoff allows a cognitive user to access the available licensed spectrum in the absence of the primary user in that particular channel. Efficient spectrum sensing has to be done to check the availability of unused spectrum holes. Machine learning models such as Markov model and Hidden Markov model are used to predict the probabilities. In this paper we have presented a model for efficient sensing using Baum-Welch algorithm, a neural network algorithm which can train inner layer channel traits for given sequence of switching services to yield accurate results without huge datasets. Following emission probabilities are obtained for the channels that are trained from transition probabilities of channel services such as video, voice and data. From the obtained probability values each channel can be offered with best suited services.

The next generation of school-going pupils of elementary level will soon be made up of children from generation Alpha, born from the year 2010 to 2025. These technology-savvy young children will soon be dominating the classrooms demanding for digitalised instructional experiences. Technology-infused learning experience has been a prevalent concept in the education field in recent years. Many studies have been carried out to explore how social media and technology assists second language learning in the contexts of secondary and tertiary education. However, little is known about how elementary pupils learn English as a second language (ESL) using social media platforms, primarily in the Asian context. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate how Chinese primary school pupils learn English on social media. Drawing on the original data from a questionnaire survey and document analysis, the findings revealed that the research participants lack the experience of learning English on social media sites although they have access and the necessary competency in handling those sites. The implication derived from this study is that it would be advisable for teachers to steer and plan suitable instructional practices on social media platforms for elementary aged ESL learners in line with their learning preferences and needs.

Physics is ruminated to be the backbone of every Engineering stream. However, students pursuing computer science Engineering have an altogether different perception of the subject in terms of nature of knowledge and its future implications in their field of study. They are very apprehensive in stipulated learning of the subject as there exists a common belief that algorithm and program designing requires no prior knowledge of Physics or Physics laboratory and it is merely a superfluous subject laden upon them in their introductory year of Engineering. In this present manuscript, efforts are being made to explore their epistemological beliefs and expectations about the subject. In order to explore the anticipations and attitudes in learning Physics by these students, the Maryland Physics Expectation Survey (MPEX Survey) and the Engineering Physics Survey (EP Survey) has been tested for both their rationality and dependability. The EP Survey is specifically designed by the one author (N.H.) to determine the perceptions, beliefs and expectations of Computer Science Engineering students from the subject Engineering Physics. Parametric and non-parametric tests were applied to the clusters. A deep cluster wise analysis of all the items in both the surveys clearly pointed out to the fact that the students who liked Physics at school level have positive responses which are similar to that of experts and are highly motivated in learning the subject. However, the percentage of these students is quite low. Conversely, students who disliked Physics at school level carry the same perception while pursuing Engineering as well and they find no rationale in understanding the importance of this subject. Thus, the role of a school Physics teacher is pivotal in generating interest amongst students for the subject as otherwise the long –term implications at higher levels of study turn out to be very severe.

The load carrying capacity (Qa) of black cotton (BC) soil reinforced with single ordinary soil-cement column (OSC) or fibre mixed soil-cement column (FSC) is presented in this paper. Different quantities of cement or polypropylene fibres with cement (i.e., in case of FSC) were taken to construct OSC and FSC. The test on composite soil bed was conducted after the curing period of 28 days. The test results show that the Qa of the composite soil bed reinforced with OSC containing 5% cement content (Cc) is 2.36 times the Qa of untreated soil. Similar is the observation for the FSC reinforced BC soil test beds containing combination of Fc and Cc. The FSC reinforced soil bed improves Qa more significantly than that by the OSC. At 1% Fc and 5% Cc the Qa of the FSC reinforced BC soil is nearly the same to that of OSC reinforced soil with Cc of 15%. Thus, FSC reinforcement in BC soil provides an economical and environmentally viable solution for ground improvement than the conventional OSC.

A strategy of manoeuvrating using inverted flight is presented to determine the optimal path for the dive stage of a hypersonic missile. The fighting incident in this document is taken into account when the hypersonic missile strikes the goal on the floor. In particular, the hypersonic rockets are first implemented by a maneuvering type called the reversed plane. The ideal route is later conceived by minimizing the attack time with the current terminal route angle, taking into consideration the limitations of the attack angle, fluid pressure, thermal transfer rate and ordinary overload. A better pseudo-spectral hp-adaptive technique with a mesh size decrease is introduced to resolve the constructed trajectory optimization issue. The paper shows the application of variation calculations in the process of anti-ballistic missile interception, to achieve the optimal concept of the open-switch control law. It provides analytical outcomes in the shape of suitable Euler-Lagrange Equations, relying on the preservation of the wind concept, for three distinct indices, using a simple racket and missile model. It also offers the computer program to simulate the intercom system quickly, with chosen parameters, parametrical assessment and simple alteration possibilities by other scientists, as published as m-Function of MATLAB in accessible code.

Cloud computing is being envisioned to be the computing paradigm of the next generation primarily for its advantages of on-demand services, risk transference, resource pooling that is independent of location and ubiquitous network access. Service quality is allocated using various resources in the scheduling process. The deadline refers to the time period from task submission until task completion. An algorithm that has good scheduling attempts at keeping the task executed inside the constraint of the deadline. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a common metaheuristic that is used often in literature for procuring solutions that are either optimal or near-optimal. The Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) is an evolutionary algorithm that is population-based with certain interesting specifications like creations of offspring that are based on the levels of fitness of the parents which increases the size of the population and generates new population by making use of the best among parents and the best among off-springs. The Greedy Algorithms will construct an object that is globally best by means of continuously choosing the option that is locally the best. In this work, a hybrid GA with the Greedy Algorithm and a Hybrid IWO with the Greedy Algorithm that has been proposed for the energy and the deadline-aware scheduling in cloud computing.

Published: October 2019

INTRODUÇÃO: Celulite periorbitária é o tipo mais frequente infecção orbitária, com ocorrência durante todas as fases da infância e maior prevalência entre o sexo masculino, entre as principais causas estão traumas, picada de inseto, conjuntivite e infecções de vias aéreas superiores. Caracteriza-se por edema inflamatório bipalpebral e na porção anterior do septo orbitário, podendo ou não haver extensão posterior para a órbita. É frequentemente tratada clinicamente, entretanto a natureza ou gravidade da infecção pode progredir a tal ponto em que a intervenção cirúrgica torna-se imperativa. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo masculino, 6 anos, vítima de trauma leve em região frontal do crânio. Após avaliação médica hospitalar, foi realizada sutura do ferimento corto-contuso e prescrição de sintomáticos. Após 2 dias paciente retornou ao pronto-socorro apresentando-se prostrado e com relatos de episódios de êmese. Ao exame físico, verificou-se temperatura de 38,9ºC, presença de edema e hiperemia periorbital bilateral, mais pronunciados à direita, ferida em face com sinais flogísticos e secreção purulenta. Foi então realizado internamento do paciente, hidratação e início imediato de antibiótico endovenoso - oxacilina e ceftriaxona. Depois de 12 horas a criança evoluiu com melhora do estado geral, porém com piora do edema periorbitário bilateral. A tomografia de crânio realizada não demonstrou alterações. Após 5 dias de tratamento hospitalar e boa evolução do quadro, o tratamento domiciliar com antibioticoterapia  pode ser realizado. CONCLUSÃO: A celulite periorbitária é secundária a traumas ou infecções do trato respiratório, mas também pode ser devido a infecções de pele, dentais e nasolacrimais. Exames de imagem são de suma importância para excluir a presença de celulite orbitária e para guiar os planos terapêuticos. Os pacientes devem receber antibioticoterapia de amplo espectro, sendo que em alguns casos a intervenção cirúrgica torna-se necessária. Não é uma patologia que deve ser subestimada, apesar da evolução favorável e da baixa taxa de complicações, caso não diagnosticada e tratada precocemente pode levar a complicações irreversíveis.

Published: October 2019

Purpose: to study body resilience to hypoxia of students from different regions enrolled to the specialized universities of Tiumen, with the use of Stange and Genchi tests. Research methods and organization. The study involved 105 students enrolled to three specialized universities in Tiumen, who used to live in urban areas (UA) and rural areas (RA). We studied the parameters of respiratory function by means of Stange and Genchi tests. Results and discussion. The study revealed that young men from rural areas demonstrate higher timed inspiratory capacity according to the results of Stange test than young men from urban areas do. Timed inspiratory and expiratory capacity varied depending on the age of young people, with the maximum peak occurring at the age of 18 and 19 years. Breath-holding capacity decreased when young men reached the first mature age. Conclusion. According to Stange test, students from rural areas demonstrate higher timed inspiratory capacity and volitional effort than the students from urban areas do. It characterizes a high level of non-specific adaptive capacity of their bodies. Physical education requires wide exploitation of a simple, accessible and informative indicator of timed inspiratory and expiratory capacity for objective assessment of respiratory function. We should take into consideration that breath-holding capacity decreases with advancing age.

ABSTRACT:The article presents the international recognition of the rights of women after the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This presentation demonstrates the different patterns involved in this process and the centuries of exclusion and violence silenced and reproduced socially. It is defended the proposition that educational actions are necessary that can debate the gender issues in the schools. This education can contribute to the deconstruction of social practices and prejudices. The proposal of an education focused on gender relations can not be restricted to some schools or programs, it must be a national theme and the object of a Public policy.

Does restricting content taught in class harm citizenship? This text has the purpose to analyze the right to education as a preparation for the exercise of citizenship and the provisions of Bill 246/2019, which aims to institute the Escola Sem Partido Program, in order to raise some questions about the limitations to the understanding of the differences of ideas and human existences and their effects on the citizen formation. First, it will present the current legal framework that protects education in the country, at which time it will demonstrate its direct link with the promotion of citizenship. In a second moment, some proposals of the Escola Sem Partido Program will be analyzed in contrast to the logic of education for citizenship and for human diversity. The results suggest that this Program, by restricting access to information and prohibit discussions about certain themes related to “diversities”, such as Gender and Sexual Diversity Education, can limit the schooling process aimed to citizenship formation.

Analysis of Healthcare Resource Utilization and Costs after the Initiation of Biologic Treatment in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease
Authors: Perera Sue , Yang Shibing , Stott-Miller Marni , Brady Joanne
Published: October 2019

Background: This retrospective cohort study aimed to describe and quantify healthcare resource utilization and costs for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) following initiation of biologic therapy.

Methods: Resource utilization and costs were analyzed at baseline and 1- and 2-years after initiating a biologic. Data were extracted from a US administrative health insurance claims database for adults ≥18 years. Eligible patients were continuously enrolled in a health plan with medical and pharmacy benefits for ≥12 months prior to, and 12 months (primary analysis) or 24 months (secondary analysis) after index date (biologic initiation).

Results: In total, 4864 and 2692 patients with UC, and 8910 and 5227 patients with CD were identified in the 1- and 2-year follow-up cohorts, respectively. Of 1-year follow-up cohort patients, 45% received the same biologic initiated at index for ≥1 year. Infliximab and adalimumab were the most commonly initiated biologics in patients with UC or CD. The highest proportion of patients who continued with the same biologic after 1-and 2-years had initiated therapy with infliximab for both indications (although at the 1-year follow-up for CD, the highest proportion continued to use natalizumab, but this was a small sample [n=15]).

Generally, the proportion of patients having inpatient admissions and emergency department (ED) visits decreased after receiving the same biologic for 1 year compared with baseline, although the proportion having outpatient visits did not change. Mean per patient all-cause costs for inpatient hospitalizations, ED visits and outpatient visits decreased for patients with UC or CD who received the same biologic for 1 year, while mean pharmacy costs per patient increased.

Conclusions; This descriptive analysis shows that although biologics effectively reduced inpatient and ED resource utilization and corresponding costs in patients with UC and CD, total management costs increased, driven by increased pharmacy costs.

Kambing betina yang akan dikawinkan perlu diberi pakan berkualitas yang cukup energi, protein, mineral dan vitamin agar dapat meningkat kinerja reproduksinya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh suplementasi bungkil kedelai dan efektifitas suplementasi vitamin dan mineral terhadap tampilan estrus kambing Peranakan Etawah (PE). Enam belas ekor kambing (PE) yang siap dikawinkan digunakan dalam percobaan ini. Percobaan ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap dengan pola factorial 2x2, dan 4 ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah, R 0 = ransum kontrol (12% CP dan 63% TDN), dan R 1= A+100 gram bungkil kedelai, sedangkan faktor kedua adalah S0= tanpa suplementasi dan S1= disuplementasi dengan vitamin E dan mineral Se+Zn. Parameter yang diukur adalah konsumsi, pertambahan bobot badan harian dan kualitas ferning (lendir dari servic saat estrus). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada interaksi antara penambahan bungkil kedelai dan suplementasi mineral Zn, Se dan Vitamin E terhadap pertambahan berat badan kambing (P<0.05). Tidak ada perbedaan yang nyata akibat suplementasi Zn + Se dan vitamin E pada ransum kontrol, namun suplementasi pada ransum yang ditambah bungkil kedelai menghasilkan pertambahan bobot yang lebih tinggi (54.10 vs 78.07 gram/hari). Skor ferning meningkat pada estrus ke metestrus pada ransum yang mendapat suplementasi mineral dan vitamin E, dan skor ferning terbaik terdapat pada kambing yang mendapat tambahan bungkil kedelai dan suplemen Zn, Se dan Vitamin E. Disimpulkanbahwa penambahan bungkil kedelai dan suplementasi Zn + Se dan vitamin E dapat meningkatkan pertambahan bobot badan serta memperbaiki penambilan estrus pada kambing, namun pada ransum yang kekurangan protein suplementasi tersebut tidakbermanfaat.
