The first application of a numerically exact, higher-order sensitivity analysis approach for atmospheric modelling: implementation of the hyperdual-step method in the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) version 5.3.2
Authors: Liu Jiachen , Chen Eric , Capps Shannon L.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Sensitivity analysis in chemical transport models quantifies the response of output variables to changes in input parameters. This information is valuable for researchers engaged in data assimilation and model development. Additionally, environmental decision-makers depend upon these expected responses of concentrations to emissions when designing and justifying air pollution control strategies. Existing sensitivity analysis methods include the finite-difference method, the direct decoupled method (DDM), the complex variable method, and the adjoint method. These methods are either prone to significant numerical errors when applied to nonlinear models with complex components (e.g. finite difference and complex step methods) or difficult to maintain when the original model is updated (e.g. direct decoupled and adjoint methods). Here, we present the implementation of the hyperdual-step method in the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) version 5.3.2 as CMAQ-hyd. CMAQ-hyd can be applied to compute numerically exact first- and second-order sensitivities of species concentrations with respect to emissions or concentrations. Compared to CMAQ-DDM and CMAQ-adjoint, CMAQ-hyd is more straightforward to update and maintain, while it remains free of subtractive cancellation and truncation errors, just as those augmented models do. To evaluate the accuracy of the implementation, the sensitivities computed by CMAQ-hyd are compared with those calculated with other traditional methods or a hybrid of the traditional and advanced methods. We demonstrate the capability of CMAQ-hyd with the newly implemented gas-phase chemistry and biogenic aerosol formation mechanism in CMAQ. We also explore the cross-sensitivity of monoterpene nitrate aerosol formation to its anthropogenic and biogenic precursors to show the additional sensitivity information computed by CMAQ-hyd. Compared with the traditional finite difference method, CMAQ-hyd consumes fewer computational resources when the same sensitivity coefficients are calculated. This novel method implemented in CMAQ is also computationally competitive with other existing methods and could be further optimized to reduce memory and computational time overheads.

Abstract. In West Africa, the validation of distributed models is limited by the quality and availability of point station data measured in-situ. ERA5 is a climate reanalysis produced by European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and suggested to overcome this constraint. This study assessed and compared over the Benin basins at spatial and monthly time scale, the quality of ERA5 and its variant ERA5-Land (namely LAND). ERA5 relies on the single-levels version with 0.25° x 0.25° resolution while LAND is the land surface version with 0.1° x 0.1° resolution. Four variables were collected including runoff, evapotranspiration (ETR), water table depth (WTD), and soil water content (SWC). Point station data were analyzed using the correlation performance evaluators, Mean Absolute Error (m) and Relative Mean Absolute Error (r). The results showed that LAND simulates well the peaks of mean runoff. It showed the best runoff performance in terms of correlation (~0.61) compared with ERA5 (correlation ~0.49). Both reanalysis showed high correlations (generally > 0.80) for SWC, but the correlations obtained from ETR are slightly lower (ERA5~0.58 vs. ERA5-Land~0.54). Correlations were below 0.5 on both reanalyses for WTD with slight overestimation (m=4.73 m for ERA5 vs. m=3.13 m for LAND). This study does not identify any reanalysis that is better than another, both spatially and monthly scale. Nevertheless, this study indicated that the choice of reanalyses must rely on their performance and the given water cycle element. Correcting the variables of these reanalysis could also improve their performance.

Abstract. The Southern Ocean plays a central role in Earth's climate, ecology, and biogeochemical cycles. Therefore, understanding long-term changes in Southern Ocean water masses in the geologic past is essential for assessing the role of the Southern Ocean in the climate system. Radiolarian fossils are a useful tool to reconstruct the water masses of the Southern Ocean. However, the radiolarian assemblages in the high latitudes of the Southern Ocean (south of the polar front (PF)) are still poorly understood. In this paper, we report the radiolarian assemblages in surface marine sediment and plankton tow samples collected from the high latitudes south of the PF. In the surface sediments, four factors (named F1–F4) of the radiolarian assemblages were identified using Q-mode factor analysis, which are related to different water masses and hydrological conditions. F1 is related to the surface waters south of the southern boundary (SB) of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which are cooled by melting sea ice and ice sheets. F2 is associated with water masses north of the SB. A comparison with the vertical distribution of the radiolarian assemblages in plankton tow samples indicates that characteristic species are associated with the Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) and surface waters north of the SB. F3 is associated with modified Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW). The radiolarian assemblage of F4 does not seem specifically related to any of the water mass here analyzed. However, the species in this assemblage are typically dwells within ice shelf and/or sea ice edge environments. Radiolarian assemblages here identified and associated with water masses, and ice edge environments are useful to reconstruct the environment south of the PF in the geologic past.
A Comparison of Two Nonlinear Data Assimilation Methods
Authors: Montiforte Vivian A. , Ngodock Hans E. , Souopgui Innocent
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Advanced numerical data assimilation (DA) methods, such as the four-dimensional variational (4DVAR) method, are elaborate and computationally expensive. Simpler methods exist that take time-variability into account, providing the potential of accurate results with a reduced computational cost. Recently, two of these DA methods were proposed for a nonlinear ocean model. The first method is Diffusive Back and Forth Nudging (D-BFN) which has previously been implemented in several complex models, most specifically, an ocean model. The second is the Concave-Convex Nonlinearity (CCN) method provided by Larios and Pei that has a straightforward implementation and promising results. D-BFN is less costly than a traditional variational DA system but it requires integrating the model forward and backward in time over a number of iterations, whereas CCN only requires integration of the forward model once. This paper will investigate if Larios and Pei's CCN algorithm can provide competitive results with the already tested D-BFN within simple chaotic models. Results show that observation density and/or frequency, as well as the length of the assimilation window, significantly impact the results for CCN, whereas D-BFN is fairly adaptive to sparser observations, predominately in time.

Desde a segunda metade do século XX até hoje, a expansão urbana horizontal de Cornélio Procópio intensificou-se em número de formas espaciais, e se acresceu ao seu arranjo espacial a presença dos loteamentos residenciais abertos, loteamentos fechados e condomínios horizontais fechados. Estes últimos, os espaços residenciais fechados, consistem no objeto deste estudo, cujo escopo é compreendê-los como prática espacial autossegregadora, à medida que são analisados a partir do método regressivo-progressivo de Henri Lefebvre. Assim, no momento descritivo do método, busca-se entender o fenômeno e sua configuração atual no presente, já no momento analítico-regressivo, investiga-se sobre a gênese e desenvolvimento do fenômeno em suas diferentes temporalidades, e, por fim, no momento regressivo-progressivo, pretende-se reencontrar analiticamente o fenômeno no presente, para compreender seus conflitos, contradições e possibilidades. Os resultados revelam que tais incorporações imobiliárias são realizadas, muitas vezes irregularmente, em atendimento aos interesses desse setor econômico com conivência do Estado em total desapreço de suas consequências socioespaciais segregacionistas

Com objetivo de contribuir para o entendimento das formações campestres no planalto meridional brasileiro, realizou-se um levantamento florístico e estrutural em comunidades na parte norte da região fitogeográfica dos Campos Gerais do Paraná, sob um regime climático de transição entre temperado e subtropical. O estudo foi realizado em três fisionomias encontradas no Parque Estadual do Guartelá (Tibagi, PR) (24º39’10” S e 50º15’25” W), com a alocação de 90 unidades amostrais de 1 m2, distribuídas em 30 parcelas em campo seco (CS), 30 em campo com afloramentos rochosos (CR) e 30 em campo úmido (CU). Foram determinadas 128 espécies pertencentes a 28 famílias, com ocorrência de 66 espécies no CS, 55 no CR e 64 para o CU. Apesar do CS apresentar o maior número de espécies não foram observadas diferenças significativas de riqueza e diversidade entre as três fisionomias. A maior riqueza de espécies foi amostrada em Asteraceae (28 espécies), Poaceae (24), Melastomataceae (13) e Cyperaceae (11), padrão comum em áreas campestres dos Biomas Mata Atlântica e Cerrado. Poucas espécies apresentaram alta frequência e cobertura nas comunidades, especialmente gramíneas, entremeadas a um número alto de espécies de baixa frequência e biomassa. Além disso, observou-se uma marcante zonação da vegetação, ditada pelas variações topo-edáficas, já que a maior similaridade ocorreu entre CS e CR (54,54%) e dissimilaridade entre CR e CU (21,84%). Apesar disso, foram encontradas 10% de espécies comuns a todas as fisionomias, índice superior ao encontrado em estudos na região. Diferenças florísticas e estruturais das comunidades locais e regionais reforçam a necessidade de mais estudos sobre os campos planálticos do Sul do Brasil para sua compreensão mais detalhada, já que sua complexidade é pouco conhecida e a forte pressão antrópica tem reduzido significativamente sua área de ocorrência

Before the emergence of pharmaceuticals, different cultures worldwide depended on medicinal plants to combat diseases. Ageratum conyzoides, an annual herb that possesses a rich record of medicinal use has been recognized for its pharmacological properties. This study aimed to examine the proximate content analysis, phytochemical components plus in-vitro antioxidant potentials of ethanol extract of A.  conyzoides leaf (ELEAC). Standard procedures were employed to conduct proximate and mineral composition analysis as well as qualitative and quantitative phytochemical assessments, while in vitro antioxidant assays were done using 1,1- Diphenyl2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), Total Phenol Content (TPC) assays. Qualitative phytochemical assessment recorded the presence of saponins, tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, phenols, and flavonoids. Proximate and mineral analysis revealed high carbohydrate content (84.97%), along with crude protein (1.53%), crude fat (3.27%), moisture (9.00%), Magnesium (42.30 mg/L), Sodium (73.21 mg/L) and Iron (4.30 mg/L). The extract exhibited a % DPPH radical scavenging activity of 44.63 at 200 µg/ml and 56.05 at 1000 µg/mL while the FRAP assay indicated a concentration-dependent increase in absorbance from 0.544 at 20 µg/mL to 0.756 at 100 µg/ml. TPC of the extract was quantified as 1.40 µg gallic acid equivalent/ mg of residue at 200 µg/mL and 2.22 µg gallic acid equivalent/ mg of residue at 1000 µg/mL. In conclusion, this study affirms the presence of medicinal phytochemicals in A. conyzoides. The identified phytochemicals, nutrients, and minerals with the demonstrated antioxidant activities, lend credibility to the traditional use of A, conyzoides in herbal medicine.
Low Resolution Image Enhancement Using Res-Net GAN

Published: January 2024

Though Deeper Convolutional Neural Networks performs better in terms of speed and accuracy of SISR (Single Image Super Resolution), one essential challenge faced is to regain texturing details that are finer while resolving at a greater up-scaling factor. The objective function determines the characteristics of optimization-based super-resolution algorithms. The mean squared reconstruction error has been a major focus of recent research. The resultant approximates had excellent (PSNR) peak signal-to-noise ratio, but they frequently lack great-frequency features and are conceptually unsatisfactory and fall short of fidelity expected at greater resolution. Res-Net GAN is a typical generative adversarial network for super resolution (SR) of image, is presented in the study. Res-Net GAN, a framework which is apt of concluding photo realistic images at a 4x upscaling factors. Here, we present perceptual loss function that comprises of the adversarial loss as well as content loss to achieve this. Using only a discriminator network that was trained to discern among super resolved pictures as well as actual photo realistic pictures, adversarial loss drives solution to natural image manifold. Furthermore, rather than pixel space resemblance, we apply content loss that has been driven by perceptual resemblance. On available standards, deep residual network is capable of recovering photo realistic details from highly down sampled photos. Res-Net GAN exhibits tremendously substantial improvements in imperceptibility in a comprehensive mean-opinion-score (MOS) test. MOS scores achieved with Res-NetGAN were nearer to those achieved with the actual high-resolution pictures.

The Rupture or Noah in the Qur'ān
Authors: Belhaj Abdessamad
Published: January 2024

This article provides a semiotic study of the account of Noah in Sūrat Hūd, chapter 11 of the Qur’ān. Our analysis opens with a discussion of the academic literature and the story’s internal Qur’ānic context. Noah’s story is said to illustrate the Qur’ānic debate of continuity and rupture in relationships between believers and unbelievers. The Qur’ān’s preference for a final break with unbelievers is indicated by the flood, but the argument among believers—in reference to early Muslims—about whether to maintain ties with or reject unbelievers is crucial to the Qur’ānic story of Noah. Thus, Noah’s story ends with the start of a new cycle of conflict and disagreement between the powerful and corrupt on the one hand and the truthful and upright on the other.
Adapting User Interface Design to Mitigate Shoulder Surfing Attacks in USSD Channel
Authors: A. P. Binitie , J. O. Babatunde
Published: January 2024

The most widely accepted authentication method involves the use of a personal identification number (PIN). This method is applicable across many technologies, of which one of them is Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD). USSD is a capability built into the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM). In some developing countries like Nigeria, USSD is used in carrying out financial transactions. It has been observed that while carrying out banking transactions using this technology, users' personal identification number (PIN) entered for authentication appears in plain text on the mobile interface, thereby subjecting it to shoulder surfing attacks. Findings revealed that users' PIN appears in plain text because USSD technology is designed to convey only textual data. That is why many existing authentication methods against Human shoulder surfing attacks which contain features like images, colors, or graphical password, that can provide security to users' PIN on mobile interface are not implemented on the USSD channel. This is one of the reasons why many existing authentication methods, which are designed with features such as images, colors or graphical passwords to prevent shoulder surfing attack, are not implemented on the USSD channel. This research is, therefore, on the design of a new authentication method that can provide security to users’ PIN at the mobile interface of the USSD channel and secure the users’ transaction against shoulder surfing attacks. In this method, the challenge response approach is adopted to provide a secure PIN entry method in the presence of a human shoulder surfer, using the randomization obfuscation method that randomly places the user's chosen PIN within randomly generated 10-digit numbers, in Left to Right order. For further security, the designed model includes features like Bag of Soft Biometrics (BoSB) details and one-time password (OTP).

This research investigated the relationship between job security and employee engagement in teaching hospitals in South-South Nigeria, assessing the extent to which measures such as dedication, vigour and absorption are influenced or impacted by job security. The correlational design was adopted as the research design for the research, and data was obtained using the structured questionnaire from 124 staff in 7 teaching hospitals in South-south Nigeria. The Spearman’s rank order correlation coefficient was utilized in the test for the hypotheses of the study, with all relationships observed to be significant and positive in nature. The findings showed that job security significantly contributes toward improving employee engagement, enhancing the extent to which workers are dedicated, vigorous and also absorbed in their roles and the organization. Going by the findings, it was concluded that the perceptions and assurance of job security positively drive the engagement of the employees. It was in this vein recommended that work arrangements and the structuring of such emphasize on the workers’ significance and relevance to the organization.

Introdução: A injeção de Ácido Hialurônico (AH) na papila interdental tem mostrado eficácia na resolução do "Black Spaces". Acredita-se que AH estimule a colagênese, através da influência sobre a α-actina de músculo liso (α-AML) e o Fator de Crescimento Transformante (TGF-ß) nos tecidos. Objetivo: Objetivou-se avaliar a colagênese e a imunoexpressão de TGF-ß1 e α-AML no preenchimento de AH na papila interdental em ratos. Metodologia: Foram induzidos defeitos entre incisivos centrais inferiores de 48 ratos Wistar, os quais receberam 0,02 ml de solução salina tamponada com fosfato (PBS) (n=24) ou0,02 ml de AH (n=24), no dia 0. Após, os ratos foram subdivididos (n=8) de acordo com os dias de eutanásia: 3, 5 e 10. As mandíbulas foram removidas para análises histoquímica (Picrosirius e Tricômico de Masson) e imuno-histoquímica para TGF-ß1 e α-AML. Resultados: Os dados indicaram que AH não afetou significativamente o percentual de colágeno total da gengival interdental, em comparação ao PBS. Entretanto, o grupo AH apresentou maior proporção de colágeno tipo III (dia 10). O AH motivou o aumento de células não-inflamatórias positivas para TGF-ß1 e α-AML no dia 3 e reduziu as células inflamatórias positivas nos grupos PBS para TGF-ß1 nos dias 5 e 10, e para α-AML no dia 10. Discussão: Esse estudo observou provável colagênese devido à injeção de AH, mastorna-se limitado pelo tempo de avaliação. Conclusão: O AH esteve associado à maiornúmero de células não-inflamatórias positivas para TGF-ß1, tendo possível associação ao maior percentual de colágeno tipo III no dia 10 no grupo AH.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LOCALIZATION OF LABIAL ARTERIES USING ULTRASONOGRAPHY FOR LIP AUGMENTATION PROCEDURES: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Veloso Camille de Sousa , Silva Filho José Evando da , Ximenes Sandra Régia Albuquerque , Viana João Paulo , Albuquerque Danielle Frota
Published: January 2024

Introduction:Lips, being among the most prominent facial features, have hyaluronic acid fillers as one of the most commonly used procedures to enhance their shape and volume. However, these procedures can present complications, many of which are relatedto injury to the labial arteries. The superior labial artery (SLA) and inferior labial artery (ILA) of the lips originate from the facial artery and cross various layers of the lips. Objective: The aim of this study is to conduct a literature review on the relationship between the localization of the superior and inferior labial arteries using ultrasonography as a method in the context oflip augmentation. Methodology: For that, a search was conducted in the "Pubmed'' database using the descriptors “labial artery anatomy” AND “ultrasonography” in English, considering articles published in the last 5 years. Finding 23 results, of which 3 articles were selected, including clinical research articles and excluding the ones that didn't fit the scope of this work. Literature Review:The analyzed studies presented conflicting results regarding the location of labial arteries, differing in their recommendations for injection sites, with a preference for superficial locations in the mucosal and submucosal planes as the safest locations.

A Review on Reading of Text Hidden in Image Using Steganography
Authors: Purnima Purnima , P Bhaiya Lalitkumar , Sahu Ghanshyam
Published: January 2024

We occasionally hear in the news about a breach or attack on certain well-known firms as though it were just another piece of news, but in reality, it is a serious problem because it involves the personal information of people, their money in trade, and the management of their businesses and projects. The honey encryption planner is going to be the topic of conversation for the duration of this essay. Honey Encryption is an encryption method that provides plain acceptable text in order to provide flexibility against brute-force attacks. Honey Encryption does this by encoding data in a way that is not easily broken. It is difficult to build a convincing message trap that is flawless enough to fool the striker even when he feels that he possesses the message in its original form. This is due to the fact that for each key that is used by a trespasser to decode a message, two key regions are open. The typo problem is the second difficulty, and it happens when a lawful user pushes the wrong key by accident. This causes the user to see what appears to be real false plain text even though the user did nothing wrong. Our goal is to come up with more foolproof ruses that are clever enough to prevent an intruder's attempts to discern the genuine meaning of what we are attempting to say through our communication. We also need new security methods because the attackers are looking for new ways to attack the systems, so we proposed a new way to protect messages and passwords well and make them difficult to break and take all of the possibilities of attack, including the brute-force, and then the data is hidden in an image with a public secret key. This solution was developed because the attackers are looking for new ways to attack the systems. This is due to the fact that the attackers are continuously searching for new ways to launch attacks on the systems.

छत्तीसगढ़ के महिलाओ के सामाजिक स्थिति का अध्ययन
Authors: सिंह गुरुपंच कुबेर
Published: January 2024

प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र का उद्देश्य छत्तीसगढ़ के महिलाओ के सामाजिक स्थिति का अध्ययन करना है यह प्राथमिक एवं द्वितीयक आकड़ो पर आधारित है इसलिए छत्तीसगढ़ के विभिन्न वर्गों के महिलाओ की सामाजिक स्थिति का विश्लेषण किया गया है। छत्तीसगढ़ प्रारंभ से ही विषम भौगोलिक परिस्थितियों तथा संघर्ष पूर्ण इतिहास की भूमि रहा है। यहां के विभिन्न सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक धार्मिक, राजनीतिक व ऐतिहासिक तत्वों में एक ओर जहां महिलाओं की गरिमा को बढ़ाया है, वहीं दूसरी ओर इनकी स्थिति को विषम बनाने में भी सहायक भूमिका अदा की है। महिला विकास हेतु अनेक योजनाओं के माध्यम से सुधार का प्रयास किया गया है। जिसमें भारतीय समाज में महिलाओं के स्थान को दर्शाया गया है। महिलाओं को सशक्त बनाना है तो स्वास्थ्य-शिक्षा के साथ-साथ उन्हें अधिकार और आगे बढ़ने के सुरक्षित अवसर देने होंगे। उन्हें आर्थिक रूप से संपन्न बनाने के लिए नये रास्ते बनाना भी जरूरी हैे। इसी सोच के साथ छत्तीसगढ़ सरकार ने महिलाओं को अधिकार संपन्न बनाने के साथ उनके स्वावलंबन की नीति अपनाई है। मुख्यमंत्री श्री भूपेश बघेल की पहल पर महिलाओं की रचनात्मक क्षमता को बढ़ाने के साथ उनकी सृजन क्षमता को स्थानीय संसाधनों के साथ जोड़ा गया है। महिलाओं की व्यक्तिगत, सामाजिक और आर्थिक स्थिति से जुड़ा यह दृष्टिकोण उनके लिए विकास के नये आयाम खोलता है। नीति आयोग द्वारा जारी वर्ष 2020-21 की इंडिया इंडेक्स रिपोर्ट के अनुसार लैंगिक समानता में छत्तीसगढ़ पहले स्थान पर है। राज्य शासन द्वारा मातृ एवं शिशु स्वास्थ्य पर विशेष ध्यान दिए जाने के कारण वर्ष 2016 से 2018 के बीच 159 एमएमआर वाले छत्तीसगढ़ का एमएमआर अब घटकर 137 पर पहुंच गया है। कुपोषण और एनीमिया से लड़ाई में भी छत्तीसगढ़ को बड़ी सफलता मिली है। छत्तीसगढ़ में 2 अक्टूबर 2019 से शुरू हुए मुख्यमंत्री सुपाषण अभियान से अब तक 2 लाख 65 हजार बच्चे कुपोषण मुक्त तथा एक लाख 50 लाख महिलाएं एनीमिया मुक्त हो चुकी हैं। एनीमिया मुक्त भारत अभियान के अंतर्गत बच्चों, किशोरों, गर्भवती तथा शिशुवती महिलाओं को आईएफए (आयरन फोलिक एसिड) सप्लीमेंटेशन उपलब्ध कराने में छत्तीसगढ़ देश में तीसरे स्थान पर है।
