Effect of Bio-Based Products on Waste Management
Authors: Wojnowska-Baryła Irena , Kulikowska Dorota , Bernat Katarzyna
Published: March 2020

This article focuses on the end-of-life management of bio-based products by recycling, which reduces landfilling. Bio-plastics are very important materials, due to their widespread use in various fields. The advantage of these products is that they primarily use renewable materials. At its end-of-life, a bio-based product is disposed of and becomes post-consumer waste. Correctly designing waste management systems for bio-based products is important for both the environment and utilization of these wastes as resources in a circular economy. Bioplastics are suitable for reuse, mechanical recycling, organic recycling, and energy recovery. The volume of bio-based waste produced today can be recycled alongside conventional wastes. Furthermore, using biodegradable and compostable bio-based products strengthens industrial composting (organic recycling) as a waste management option. If bio-based products can no longer be reused or recycled, it is possible to use them to produce bio-energy. For future effective management of bio-based waste, it should be determined how these products are currently being managed. Methods for valorizing bio-based products should be developed. Technologies could be introduced in conjunction with existing composting and anaerobic digestion infrastructure as parts of biorefineries. One option worth considering would be separating bio-based products from plastic waste, to maintain the effectiveness of chemical recycling of plastic waste. Composting bio-based products with biowaste is another option for organic recycling. For this option to be viable, the conditions which allow safe compost to be produced need to be determined and compost should lose its waste status in order to promote bio-based organic recycling.
Economic Complexity and the Mediating Effects of Income Inequality: Reaching Sustainable Development in Developing Countries
Authors: Le Caous Emilie , Huarng Fenghueih
Published: March 2020

According to the United Nations Development Program, sustainable development goals are fundamental for attaining a better and more sustainable future for all of us, and are a primary concern today. New indicators, such as the Economic Complexity Index (i.e., ECI), can be used to predict human development index (i.e., HDI). To be defined as a complex economy, a country, through a vast network of individuals, should be able to interlink extensive quantities of relevant knowledge to create diversified products. Political, cultural, and environmental factors should also be included in this model to improve the measurement of human development. This paper aimed to study the relationship between the ECI and HDI and the mediating effects of income inequality among developing countries. Hierarchical linear modeling was used as a statistical tool to analyze 87 developing countries from 1990 to 2017, which also studied the country-level effects of gender inequality and energy consumption. Different year lags were used for more robustness. The results show that human development increased with higher economic complexity. This relationship was, however, partially mediated by income inequality. Country-level predictors, gender inequality, and energy consumption also impacted sustainable development. Finally, it is essential to note that this model cannot be applied to developed economies.
Identifying Urban Road Black Spots with a Novel Method Based on the Firefly Clustering Algorithm and a Geographic Information System
Authors: Yuan Tengfei , Zeng Xiaoqing , Shi Tongguang
Published: March 2020

With the rapid development of urban road traffic, there are a certain number of black spots in an urban road network. Therefore, it is important to create a method to effectively identify the urban road black spots in order to quickly and accurately ensure the safety of residents and maintain the sustainable development of a city. In this study, a GIS (geographic information system) and the Firefly Clustering Algorithm are combined. On the one hand, a GIS can accurately extract the distance between accident points through its spatial analysis function, overcoming the disadvantage of the accident data not usually including the specific location data. On the other hand, the Firefly Clustering Algorithm can be used to comprehensively extract the characteristics of accident points, which is particularly suitable for the identification of black spots. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, this research compares the identification effect between the OD (origin–destination) cost distance calculated by GIS and the Euclidean distance. The results show that the Euclidean distance is smaller than the OD cost distance and that the accident search method based on the Euclidean distance can overestimate the number of black spots, especially for intersections. Therefore, the proposed method based on the Firefly Clustering Algorithm and GIS can not only contribute to identifying urban road black spots but also plays an auxiliary role in reducing urban road crashes and maintaining sustainable urban development.
Dynamical Properties of Fractional-Order Memristor
Authors: Wang Shao Fu , Ye Aiqin
Published: March 2020

The properties of a fractional-order memristor is studied, and the influences of parameters are analyzed and compared. The results reflect that the resistance value of a fractional-order memristor can be affected by fraction-order, frequency, the switch resistor ratio, average mobility and so on. In addition, the circuit of a fractional-order memristor that is serially connected and connected in parallel with inductance and capacitance are studied. Then, the current–voltage characteristics of a simple series one-port circuits that are composed of a fractional-order memristor and a capacitor, or composed of a fractional-order memristor and a inductor are studied separately. The results demonstrate that at the periodic excitation, the memristor in the series circuits will have capacitive properties or inductive properties as the fractional order changes, the dynamical properties can be used in a memristive circuit.

Published: March 2020

Changes in ecological and environmental factors lead to an increased occurrence of cyanobacterial water blooms, while secondary metabolites-producing cyanobacteria pose a threat to both environmental and human health. Apart from oral and dermal exposure, humans may be exposed via inhalation and/or swallowing of contaminated water and aerosols. Although many studies deal with liver toxicity, less information about the effects in the respiratory system is available. We investigated the effects of a prevalent cyanotoxin, microcystin-LR (MC-LR), using respiratory system-relevant human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells. The expression of specific organic-anion-transporting polypeptides was evaluated, and the western blot analysis revealed the formation and accumulation of MC-LR protein adducts in exposed cells. However, MC-LR up to 20 μM neither caused significant cytotoxic effects according to multiple viability endpoints after 48-h exposure, nor reduced impedance (cell layer integrity) over 96 h. Time-dependent increase of putative MC-LR adducts with protein phosphatases was not associated with activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1/2 and p38 during 48-h exposure in HBE cells. Future studies addressing human health risks associated with inhalation of toxic cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins should focus on complex environmental samples of cyanobacterial blooms and alterations of additional non-cytotoxic endpoints while adopting more advanced in vitro models.
Purinergic Receptors: Elucidating the Role of these Immune Mediators in HIV-1 Fusion
Authors: Freeman Tracey L. , Swartz Talia H.
Published: March 2020

Purinergic receptors are inflammatory mediators activated by extracellular nucleotides released by dying or injured cells. Several studies have described an important role for these receptors in HIV-1 entry, particularly regarding their activity on HIV-1 viral membrane fusion. Several reports identify purinergic receptor antagonists that inhibit HIV-1 membrane fusion; these drugs are suspected to act through antagonizing Env-chemokine receptor interactions. They also appear to abrogate activity of downstream mediators that potentiate activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Here we review the literature on purinergic receptors, the drugs that inhibit their function, and the evidence implicating these receptors in HIV-1 entry.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus that causes birth defects, persistent male infection, and sexual transmission in humans. The purpose of this study was to continue the development of an ovine ZIKV infection model; thus, two experiments were undertaken. In the first experiment, we built on previous pregnant sheep experiments by developing a mid-gestation model of ZIKV infection. Four pregnant sheep were challenged with ZIKV at 57–64 days gestation; two animals served as controls. After 13–15 days (corresponding with 70–79 days of gestation), one control and two infected animals were euthanized; the remaining animals were euthanized at 20–22 days post-infection (corresponding with 77–86 days of gestation). In the second experiment, six sexually mature, intact, male sheep were challenged with ZIKV and two animals served as controls. Infected animals were serially euthanized on days 2–6 and day 9 post-infection with the goal of isolating ZIKV from the male reproductive tract. In the mid-gestation study, virus was detected in maternal placenta and spleen, and in fetal organs, including the brains, spleens/liver, and umbilicus of infected fetuses. Fetuses from infected animals had visibly misshapen heads and morphometrics revealed significantly smaller head sizes in infected fetuses when compared to controls. Placental pathology was evident in infected dams. In the male experiment, ZIKV was detected in the spleen, liver, testes/epididymides, and accessory sex glands of infected animals. Results from both experiments indicate that mid-gestation ewes can be infected with ZIKV with subsequent disruption of fetal development and that intact male sheep are susceptible to ZIKV infection and viral dissemination and replication occurs in highly vascular tissues (including those of the male reproductive tract).

Published: March 2020

Interferon-inducible transmembrane proteins (IFITM1/2/3) have been reported to suppress the entry of a wide range of viruses. However, their antiviral functional residues and specific mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we firstly resolved the topology of IFITM1 on the plasma membrane where N-terminus points into the cytoplasm and C-terminus resides extracellularly. Further, KRRK basic residues of IFITM1 locating at 62–67 of the conserved intracellular loop (CIL) were found to play a key role in the restriction on the Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV). Similarly, KRRK basic residues of IFITM2/3 also contributed to suppressing ZIKV replication. Finally, IFITM1 was revealed to be capable of restricting the release of ZIKV particles from endosome to cytosol so as to impede the entry of ZIKV into host cells, which was tightly related with the inhibition of IFITM1 on the acidification of organelles. Overall, our study provided topology, antiviral functional residues and the mechanism of interferon-inducible transmembrane proteins.
New Sustainable Approach for the Production of Fe3O4/Graphene Oxide-Activated Persulfate System for Dye Removal in Real Wastewater
Authors: Pervez Md. Nahid , He Wei , Zarra Tiziano , Naddeo Vincenzo , Zhao Yaping
Published: March 2020

Persulfate (PS)-activated, iron-based heterogeneous catalysts have attracted significant attention as a potential advanced and sustainable water purification system. Herein, a novel Fe3O4 impregnated graphene oxide (Fe3O4@GO)-activated persulfate system (Fe3O4@GO+K2S2O8) was synthesized by following a sustainable protocol and was tested on real wastewater containing dye pollutants. In the presence of the PS-activated system, the degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B (RhB) was significantly increased to a level of ≈95% compared with that of Fe3O4 (≈25%). The influences of different operational parameters, including solution pH, persulfate dosage, and RhB concentration, were systemically evaluated. This system maintained its catalytic activity and durability with a negligible amount of iron leached during successive recirculation experiments. The degradation intermediates were further identified through reactive oxygen species (ROS) studies, where surface-bound SO4− was found to be dominant radical for RhB degradation. Moreover, the degradation mechanism of RhB in the Fe3O4@GO+K2S2O8 system was discussed. Finally, the results indicate that the persulfate-activated Fe3O4@GO catalyst provided an effective pathway for the degradation of dye pollutants in real wastewater treatment.
Shifting Hydrological Processes in a Canadian Agroforested Catchment due to a Warmer and Wetter Climate
Authors: Aygün Okan , Kinnard Christophe , Campeau Stéphane , Krogh Sebastian A.
Published: March 2020

This study examines the hydrological sensitivity of an agroforested catchment to changes in temperature and precipitation. A physically based hydrological model was created using the Cold Regions Hydrological Modelling platform to simulate the hydrological processes over 23 years in the Acadie River Catchment in southern Québec. The observed air temperature and precipitation were perturbed linearly based on existing climate change projections, with warming of up to 8 °C and an increase in total precipitation up to 20%. The results show that warming causes a decrease in blowing snow transport and sublimation losses from blowing snow, canopy-intercepted snowfall and the snowpack. Decreasing blowing snow transport leads to reduced spatial variability in peak snow water equivalent (SWE) and a more synchronized snow cover depletion across the catchment. A 20% increase in precipitation is not sufficient to counteract the decline in annual peak SWE caused by a 1 °C warming. On the other hand, peak spring streamflow increases by 7% and occurs 20 days earlier with a 1 °C warming and a 20% increase in precipitation. However, when warming exceeds 1.5 °C, the catchment becomes more rainfall dominated and the peak flow and its timing follows the rainfall rather than snowmelt regime. Results from this study can be used for sustainable farming development and planning in regions with hydroclimatic characteristics similar to the Acadie River Catchment, where climate change may have a significant impact on the dominating hydrological processes.

In current days, an image fusion is a powerful method and developing field in the area of image processing. The image fusion is the process of combining two or more images into a single image then the resulting image will appear more informative than any of the input images. It is the process of assimilation of numerous input images into a new single fused image with highly informative than the input image. There are various image fusion transform techniques are proposed. Out of that techniques a Non-subsampled shearlet transform includes shift invariant property, highly directionality, feasible and more efficient information as compared to previous techniques such as wavelet transform(WT), DWT, LWT, MWT, CWT, Curvelet transform, Counterlet transform, and Nonsubsampled Counterlet transform(NSCT). This NSST technique is carried out by adjusting the levels with filter banks. Downsampling is used to reconstruct. NSST decomposition provides a simple hierarchical framework for image fusion with different geographical resolution.

A shaft is subjected to tensile stress, compressive stress, torsional force and bending moment due to reaction on the components. The stress distribution in a shaft can be is similar to the flow of fluid in a channel. So, it is perfectly logical to use the fluid analogy to understand the phenomenon of stress concentration. When the cross section is uniform the flow is uniform whereas if there is a sudden change in the cross section then the velocity increases to keep the flow rate constant .The same phenomenon is observed in the shaft i.e. when the cross section of the shaft is uniform throughout , the stresses are uniform where as if the cross section changes abruptly then the stress lines come closer to each other in order to keep the force same . When there are sharp changes then it results in stress concentration.The effect of stress concentration can be reduced effectively as there are numerous discontinuities which makes it impossible to eradicate it fully .This could be done by numerous some of which are removal of material , providing fillet radius and also by choosing appropriate material for manufacturing . Software like Solid works can be used for the design and analysis of the component. An object drawn with Solid works can be analysed interactively and physical information can be extracted from it.

In today’s world there are a host of serious environmental problems, and air pollution is one of the top causes of many chronic respiratory diseases with accelerated aging of lungs and possibly cancer. Air pollution is the most widespread pollution which is inevitable, since air being an ever pervading medium and carrier, which can transfer the pollutants very fast in no time. It is generally caused due to pollutants like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide that are released especially when fuels are burnt.This paper aims at designing an Internet of Things (IoT) based atmosphere monitoring system using Hadoop ecosystem. Internet of things (IoT) provides a platform that allows devices to be connected, sensed and be controlled remotely across a network infrastructure. Hadoop is an open source framework which is used to store and process large amount of data using commodity hardware. The key feature of this paper is to measure the level of air contaminants, temperature in the atmosphere using sensors, and also store the sensor data into the cloud server that is Adafruit. Thereby, we redirect the data into Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and process the sensor data to list out the areas with highest pollution level and temperature.

In this era of digital age a lot of secret and non-secret data is transmitted over the internet. Cryptography is one of the many techniques to secure data on network. It is one of the techniques that can be used to ensure information security and data privacy. It is used to secure data in rest as well as data in transit. RSA in the most commonly used cryptographic algorithm and it is also used for the creation on Digital Certificates. RSA algorithm is now not considered to be as secure due to advancement in technology and newer attack vectors. This paper proposed an algorithm for security enhancement of RSA algorithm by increasing prime numbers count. Proposed algorithm has been implemented to encrypt and decrypt the data and execution results for encryption and decryption time have been compared for increased prime numbers count. This proposed algorithm of RSA can be used to replace the existing RSA algorithm in digital signature certificates as well as in all other places where the base RSA algorithm is currently being used. In the proposed technique, as the number of prime number count increases, prime factor calculation becomes difficult. If the attacker has encryption key (e) and Product of prime numbers (N) then it is not easy to find out the prime number combinations and hence decryption key (d) will be more secure by using proposed algorithm. This will be more difficult because given a number n, it is easy to find two numbers whose product is equal to n using Shor's algorithm and Grover’s Search Algorithm but it is not very difficult and time taking to exactly determine m numbers whose product is equal to n.

Intelligent communities are utilizing different creative ideas to improve the quality of human life. Due to fast growing sizes of our cities, need of travelling is constantly increasing, which in turn has increased count of vehicles on the roads. Increasing number of vehicles on the roads has brought about numerous difficulties for Street Traffic Management Authorities. Amongst different traffic related issues, road accidents are something worth giving attention to and have to be on the priority list. This paper describes various automatic road accident detection techniques, which automatically detect accidents using surveillance videos in real-time. As these methods do not consider various lighting conditions, changing weather conditions and different traffic patterns, none of the methods are robust enough to address all the incidences of the accident. In this paper, authors have described and compared many such methods.

In this paper we propose a novel pyramid decomposition based Image fusion metric, Gamma Factor or Goodness of Fit ‘ᴦ’ which describes the statistically amount of information fused by the image fusion algorithm. We first apply steerable pyramid decomposition and then a fitting model for Univariate Generalised Gaussian Distribution (UGGD) parameter estimation. From the UGGD; P and S fitting model coefficients are computed. To estimate the optimum weights for computation a huge data set of complimentary images are used. Using these weights, amount of information contributed by each image to form a fused image can be estimated. Experimental results show the tremendous matching with the quantise information
