Active and Relict Contact Karst morphological forms of the corrosional plain (Slavinski ravnik, SW Slovenia)
Authors: Švara Astrid , Mihevc Andrej , Zupan Hajna Nadja
Published: February 2023

So far, the longest known unroofed cave in Slovenia has been found on the Slavinski ravnik, southwest of Postojna. From its position on the surface, its shape, and its containing sediments, we can infer its spatial and temporal development, as well as the processes and evolution of the contact karst in its hinterland. The corrosional plain Slavinski ravnik is a small area of the Dinaric Karst in Slovenia, located at the contact between impermeable flysch and karstified carbonate rocks, where many contact karst features formed. Due to erosion, multi-phase regional tectonic uplift, and sedimentation, a paragenetic cave system, active and relict blind valleys have formed. During the geomorphological mapping, elements were examined and drawn using ESRI ArcMap and Golden Software Surfer, and the stages of their formation were observed. During the survey, the active cave system Markov spodmol and Vodna jama v Lozi, the relict unroofed cave Brezstropa jama v Lozi, Biščevci blind valley, Sajevško polje blind valley, Ivačevci blind valley, and Sajevško polje sediment accumulation were studied. The changing hydrological regime, the allogenic sediments, the distribution of active and relict ponors, and the placement of active and relict elements of these contact karst forms, show different stages of formation and subsequent development of the northern border of Slavinski ravnik. The geomorphological map of these contact karst features and their following studies give us an insight into the morphogenesis of the southern karst periphery of the Postojna Basin as an exceptional - relatively small but highly variable Slovenian contact karst site.
Karst hydrology of the Croatian coast recorded in the works of Alberto Fortis (1741-1803)
Authors: Lončarić Robert , Surić Maša
Published: February 2023

Alberto Fortis (1741-1803) was an Italian naturalist who had a wide range of scientific interests from linguistics and ethnology to geology, geography and hydrology. This paper presents an overview of hydrological features that Fortis recorded in two of his works: Saggio d'Osservazzioni sopra l'Isola di Cherso ed Osero (1771) and Viaggio in Dalmazia (1774). These works were a result of several Fortis' travels in the region and were noted in European scientific literature of that time. Fortis revealed to European public the eastern Adriatic coast, a then little-known part of Europe with its wide variety of natural features. Despite the scarce appearance of surface water in karst, numerous interpretations of hydrological features can be found in Fortis’ descriptions of the East Adriatic coast. He often shows a remarkable understanding of karst hydrology even though some of his ideas and explanations are dubious from the present point of view. Although Fortis is not considered a karstologist in the strict sense, his works contain elements of what will eventually become karstology.

Published: February 2023

The learning methodologies used by students are directly proportional to their abilities to learn. Various learning methodologies have been used to gain student acceptance and satisfaction with the module taught by the teacher. In this article, the authors approach the different methods and analyze these methodologies. To determine the impact, they considered both the face-to-face learning process and the online mode of learning to determine the exact effect on the student. So, to address this, a two-way survey was conducted. The first revealed the student satisfaction rate with the course approached through the online mode of learning. Second, a comparative study was made using ANOVA methods between the online way and the face-to-face methodology. A significant observation was made in the test, and it shows that the hybrid model of teaching provides better performance than the face-to-face method.
Lossless Decoding Method of Compressed Coded Video Based on Inter-Frame Differential Background Model
Authors: Hu Lehua
Published: February 2023

For the problems of low decoding accuracy, long decoding time, and low quality of decoded video image in the traditional lossless decoding method of compressed coded video, a lossless decoding method of compressed coded video based on inter frame difference background model is proposed. At the coding end, the inter frame difference background model is used to extract the single frame video image, and the mixed coding method is used to compress the video losslessly. At the decoding side, the CS-SOMP (compressive sensing-synchronous orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm) joint reconstruction algorithm is composed of synchronous orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm (SOMP) and K-SVD (kernel singular value decomposition) algorithm to losslessly decode the compressed encoded video. The simulation results show that the lossless decoding method based on the inter frame difference background model has higher accuracy, shorter decoding time, and ensures the quality of the decoded video image.

Published: February 2023

The data classification method based on support vector machine (SVM) has been widely used in various studies as a non-linear, high precision, and good generalization ability machine learning method. Among them, the kernel function and its parameters have a great impact on the classification accuracy. In order to find the optimal parameters to improve the classification accuracy of SVM, this paper proposes a data multi-classification method based on gray wolf algorithm optimized SVM(GWO-SVM). In this paper, the iris data set is used to test the performance of GWO-SVM, and the classification result is compared with those based on genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the original SVM model. The test results show that the GWO-SVM model has a higher recognition and classification accuracy than the other three models, and has the shortest running time, which has obvious advantages and can effectively improve the classification accuracy of SVM. This method has practical significance in image classification, text classification, and fault detection.

Published: February 2023

Currently, the internet of everything (IoE) enabled smart surveillance systems are widely used in various fields to prevent various forms of abnormal behaviors. The authors assess the vulnerability of surveillance systems based on human gait and suggest a defense strategy to secure them. Human gait recognition is a promising biometric technology, but one significantly hindered because of universal adversarial perturbation (UAP) that may trigger system failure. More specifically, in this research study, the authors emphasize on sample convolutional neural network (CNN) model design for gait recognition and assess its susceptibility to UAPs. The authors compute the perturbation as non-targeted UAPs, which trigger a model failure and lead to an inaccurate label to the input sample of a given subject. The findings show that a smart surveillance system based on human gait analysis is susceptible to UAPs, even if the norm of the generated noise is substantially less than the average norm of the images. Later, in the next stage, the authors illustrate a defense mechanism to design a secure surveillance system based on human gait.

Authors: Mathkhor Abdulsatar J. , Ibraheem Noor Majid
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a commonly occurring and disabling chronic pain disorder of unknown etiology. It is a syndrome of widespread diffuse pain with a low pain threshold and different FMS allied symptoms. Obesity is a comorbidity that is commonly occurring with FMS and may be linked to its severity. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in FMS and their effect on pain and FMS allied symptoms.

Methods:

One hundred and ten (10 male and 100 female) FMS patients diagnosed following the 1990 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for FMS completed a questionnaire about age, gender, and pain severity on a visual analog scale (VAS), evaluated for morning stiffness, disturbance of sleep, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and irritable bowel and the count of tender points. Weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) were calculated for all participants.

Results:

Seventy-four (67.27%) were overweight/obese; of them, 68 (61.81%) were females. All the FMS allied symptoms were more prevalent in overweight/obese FMS patients. Overweight/obese FMS patients have a high number of TP and greater pain sensitivity to TP palpation.

Conclusion:

Overweight and obesity are commonly associated with FMS. Obesity may contribute to the severity of FMS and its allied symptoms.

Authors: Aghajanzadeh Manouchehr , Asgary Mohammad Reza , Hemmati Hosein , Hemmati Ghazaleh , Asgari Mohammad Mahdi
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:

The liver is the most common organ of the body that is at risk of getting affected by hydatid cyst (75%). All lobes of the liver can be involved with the formation of hydatid cyst, but the right lobe is more involved than the left lobe. The rate of involvement of liver dome and segments 7 and 8 of the right lobe has not been reported so far, but the best treatment for liver hydatid cyst has been found to be surgery.

Materials and Methods:

In this study, 240 patients with liver hydatid cyst underwent surgery from 2005 to 2017. In this retrospective study, the variables of gender, age, number of liver cysts, involvement of lobe and segments, simultaneous involvement of liver and lung, laparotomy, thoracotomy, the number of patients referred due to the lack of finding cysts in laparotomy, and surgical complications were analyzed.

Results:

The results showed that the majority of patients were males with age ranging from 8 to 68 years. Right lobe involvement was observed in most of the patients. About 62 patients showed involvement of liver dome and segments 7 and 8. Therefore, 62 patients underwent thoracotomy according to the criteria introduced and the rest of the patients (n = 178) underwent laparotomy. The results showed that there was a potential for capitonnage in 46 patients in thoracotomy. The pain score was 4–5 according to the VAS criterion. The rate of using analgesic drug did not show significant difference between the two methods.

Conclusion:

During the manipulation, cysts might be ruptured and give rise to complications such as spread of the disease, shock, and anaphylaxis, which may be followed by legal complaints. Therefore, in order to perform the surgery successfully, a new method along with computed tomography (CT) scan has been introduced in this study, which can be very helpful.

Published: February 2023

An electric vehicle (EV) battery charging station (EV-BCS) based on a bipolar dc power grid is presented in this paper, which is capable of delivering power to the grid (vehicle-to-grid – V2G mode), and directly exchange power between different EVs connected to the EV-BCS (vehicle-to-vehicle – V2V mode), besides the traditional battery charging operation (grid-to-vehicle – G2V mode). The presented EV-BCS is based on three-level bidirectional buck-boost dc-dc converters and has a modular structure. Simulation results are presented with the aim of validating the aforementioned operation modes, being considered two EVs for simplicity reasons, since it is enough to validate the proposed operation modes. The presented results comprise both balanced and unbalanced operation in terms of power from the EVs viewpoint, with the purpose of considering a real scenario of operation, where a balanced consumption or power injection from the bipolar dc power grid side is always guaranteed.
Aboveground carbon storage in Adansonia digitata L. (Baobab) in Mkanana agroforestry and Mangalisa forest reserve in Mpwapwa District, Tanzania
Authors: Mganga Nyatwere Donasian , Yusuph Khamis
Published: February 2023

Woodlands are important sinks for the ever increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is directly linked to climate change. Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) is among the vascular tree species with a long lifespan of 1250 years thus potential for carbon storage though inadequately studied. This study therefore aimed to account for aboveground biomass and carbon in an agroforestry of Mkanana village (with baobabs and sunflower) and Mangalisa forest reserve in Mpwawa District. The allometric model developed for baobabs in dry areas was used for estimation of biomass which was computed as 50% carbon. The mean aboveground biomass of baobabs of 6.952 ± 0.09546 tonnes/tree in Mangalisa forest reserve was higher than 5.538 ± 0.3064 tonnes/tree recorded in Mkanana agroforestry (Mann-Whitney U-Statistic = 94.000, U’ = 531.00, P ˂ 0.0001). On the other hand, the mean aboveground carbon of 3.476 ± 0.09546 tonnes/tree in Mangalisa forest reserve was significantly higher than 2.769 ± 0.1533 tonnes/tree recorded in Mkanana agroforestry (Mann-Whitney U-Statistic = 93.000, U’ = 532.00, P ˂ 0.0001). The results of this study positively contribute to vegetation carbon storage. Sustainable carbon storage in baobabs can be achieved by planting them in reserve areas rather than in agroforestry.
Computational intelligence paradigms for automata based secured energy efficient routing in wireless sensor network - A technical survey
Authors: Prithi S. , Sumathi S.
Published: February 2023

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been deployed in several areas of interest for controlling the region, automation of mundane tasks due to features such as smart sensor nodes, low cost, and small-scale factors. Earlier, the sensory units were costly and deficient in the computational and communicational capabilities which were overcome by sensing, processing, storing, and forwarding the data powered by a battery. There predominates diverse applications which affects the low-cost solutions of WSNs in numerous specialties such as observing patients in health care, target exposure, and tracking purposes, examining the atmosphere and climate, home applications, contributing protection for vehicular networks Owing to the diversity of the applications of Wireless Sensor Network, it needs to impose varying design, implementation, and performance requirements on the Wireless Sensor Network to have deep knowledge about the characteristics of WSNs. The pervasiveness of designing and optimizing WSN appeared to be a surplus to several application fields which influenced countless researchers to pay attention to several issues such as routing, mobility of nodes, coverage, and security. In recent years, designing of WSN becomes the leading domain for many researchers. A WSN is bounded with a collection of devices that are associated in the network to communicate the information collected from the field through the wireless links that have been established in the network. The data thus collected is transmitted through multiple nodes and also, the data is communicated to other networks through the gateway. During the design and deployment of WSNs, more attention is required at various levels like routing, coverage, and security. A complete system could be designed so that it could resolve the problems such as energy exhaustion, network lifetime, throughput, end-to-end time, routing, and intrusion detection could also monitor and keep control of the network environment. Therefore, this proposed technical research survey work has been carried out by devising an automaton system that can learn, monitor and control the dynamic behaviour of the network environment as well as can obtain an optimal route using Computational Intelligence Techniques. Besides, it detects the malicious activities that occur in the network using Hybrid Intrusion Detection System (IDS) model to enhance the throughput, lifetime of the network, utilization of the energy, end-to-end delay, accuracy, detection rate, computational time and recall rate.

Published: February 2023

Background: In Nigeria, an estimated 20 – 30% of our population is believed to suffer from mental disorders. Cissampelos owariensis has been used in Southwest Nigerian traditional medicine to treat mental illness.Objectives: This study evaluated the anti-psychotic potential of Cissampelos owariensis crude extract, fractions, sub-fractions and isolated compound, using in vivo and in vitro antipsychotic assays.Material and Methods: Crude extract and fractions of the leaves were investigated against ketamine induced hyper-locomotion and stereotype behaviours in mice. Extrapyramidal effect of bioactive fraction was tested using catalepsy model. D - amino acid oxidase assay was used to test for anti-psychotic property of chromatographic sub-fractions and isolated compound. Percentage inhibition of pooled sub-fractions and compound was measured at an excitation and emission wavelengths of 355 and 460 nm, respectively. Characterization of isolated compound was done using Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. One-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s posthoc test at α0.05, was used for data analysis.Results: Crude extract of Cissampelos owariensis (125 mg/kg) and fractions showed reduction in hyper-locomotion at different doses. The extract (125 mg/kg) and ethylacetate fraction (500 mg/kg) significantly antagonized stereotypy in mice. The ethyl acetate fraction did not induce catalepsy but rather reversed the cataleptic effect induced by haloperidol. Phytochemical investigation led to the identification of Cyclohexanepentol, which possesses comparable anti-psychotic activity with Risperidone.Conclusion: This paper presents for the first time, anti-psychotic principle from C. owariensis and validates its ethno-medicinal use.
