The highly rearranged karyotype of the hangingfly Bittacus sinicus (Mecoptera, Bittacidae): the lowest chromosome number in the order
Authors: Miao Ying , Hua Bao-Zhen
Published: July 2020

Cytogenetic features of the hangingfly Bittacus sinicus Issiki, 1931 were investigated for the first time using C-banding and DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) staining. The karyotype analyses show that the male B. sinicus possesses the lowest chromosome number (2n = 15) ever observed in Mecoptera, and an almost symmetric karyotype with MCA (Mean Centromeric Asymmetry) of 12.55 and CVCL (Coefficient of Variation of Chromosome Length) of 19.78. The chromosomes are either metacentric or submetacentric with their sizes decreasing gradually. Both the C-banding and DAPI+ patterns detect intermediate heterochromatin on the pachytene bivalents of B. sinicus, definitely different from the heterochromatic segment at one bivalent terminal of other bittacids studied previously. The male meiosis of B. sinicus is chiasmate with two chiasmata in metacentric bivalents and one in the submetacentric bivalent. The sex determination mechanism is X0(♂), which is likely plesiomorphic in Bittacidae. Two alternative scenarios of karyotype origin and evolution in Bittacus Latreille, 1805 are discussed.

Published: July 2020

Clutch size and number of clutches per reproductive cycle are important life history traits that can be influenced by anatomical, physiological, evolutionary, and ecological factors. This report on the clutch size and number of clutches of an endemic Mexican whiptail lizard, Aspidoscelis costatus costatus (Cope, 1878), is based on a study of population at an unusually high elevation for a member of this genus. The study site is located in Ixtapan de la Sal, southeastern Estado de México, Central Mexico, at 2090 m a.s.l. Lizards were sampled in June 2006, and from May to July 2007, where females of Aspidoscelis costatus costatus were collected by hand along a drift fence. Female reproductive condition was evaluated based on abdominal palpation for presence of developing eggs; clutch size was determined by actual counts of either vitellogenic follicles or oviductal eggs. The smallest reproductive female was 77 mm snout-vent length; females produced a minimum of two clutches during the breeding season, the mean clutch size of 6.5 eggs (n = 33) was one of the largest reported for the genus. However, both length and width of its eggs, and the relative clutch mass have not been diminished by development of a large clutch. Additionally, comparisons of clutch size were undertaken within the polytypic A. costatus complex, within the genus Aspidoscelis, and between certain genera of whiptail lizards. This apparently represents the first study of whiptail lizards (genus Aspidoscelis), assessing the aforementioned reproductive characteristics, in a population above 2000 m.

Published: July 2020

The Rivulidae fish family, which includes Neotropical seasonal killifishes, is one of the most diverse taxonomic groups in the aquatic systems of Caatinga in Brazil. Cynolebias and Hypsolebias genera, with 20 and 35 endemic species, respectively, concentrate the greatest diversity of rivulid species in the semiarid. Sixty-eight years after the first records of annual killifishes in the Mid-Northeastern Caatinga ecoregion (MNCE), only four valid species have been sampled in this area. Here we combined bibliographic surveys and recent samplings to investigate the distribution of seasonal rivulids in MNCE. Twenty-one records were obtained, nine of which are new localities, expanding the distribution of three species: Hypsolebias martinsi, H. antenori and Cynolebias microphthalmus. Hypsolebias longignatus is still only known from its type locality in Ceará, near the Environmental Protection Area in Pacoti River, and has not been sampled ever since its description in 2008. Among the four species present in MNCE, H. antenori is the only species occurring within the limits of a conservation unit in the Furna Feia National Park. Anthropogenic impacts were observed in most temporary habitats visited, which ranged from river channel to small ponds in cave entrances. All records are found in coastal basins that discharge in the northern coast of the MNCE, in Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte states, which are crucial for the conservation of the Caatinga’s killifishes. The results also evidenced the importance of karstic habitats in the Jandaíra Formation as potential biotopes for seasonal fish in MNCE. This information must be used to update the conservation status of these species and highlight the importance of strategies for preserving the Caatinga’s temporary aquatic habitats, which should be considered for environmental licensing purposes.
Considerations on the historic context surrounding the publications attributed to Denis & Schiffermüller
Authors: Tóth Balázs , Katona Gergely , Bálint Zsolt
Published: July 2020

In the second half of the 18thcentury, the influential Jesuit college named Theresianum ran an educational and scientific project for working systematically on the Lepidoptera occurring in the vicinity of Vienna, Austria. The teachers of the college prepared a document under the title “Ankündung eines systematischen Werkes von den Schmetterlingen der Wienergegend”, with the aim of informing the ecclesiastical and secular authorities about the goal of the enterprise. On the board of the Theresianum there were several Jesuits, who later were considered authorities concerning Lepidoptera, namely: Michael Denis SJ, Sigismund Hohenwart SJ, Ludwig Mitterpacher SJ, Matthias Piller SJ, and Ignaz Schiffermüller SJ. They were acknowledged by Lepidoptera patronyms in the “Ankündung”, which suggests that they may have been involved in this project. This “Ankündung” was mentioned in the book “Versuch eines Farbensystems” in 1771, which was authored by Ignaz Schiffermüller. Also from this book, it can be postulated that Ignaz Schiffermüller regarded himself as a responsible author or editor of the “Ankündung”. Printing of the “Ankündung” was delayed for unspecified reasons, the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 may have been one of them. Subsequently, Ignaz Schiffermüller managed to circulate a limited number of copies of the “Ankündung” in 1775, and then the same document appeared before a wider audience under the new title “Systematisches Verzeichniss der Schmetterlinge der Wienergegend” in 1776. Both these publications were at the time and ever since attributed to Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller, because some subsequent citations considered these two Jesuits as the principal authors.
Evaluation of physicochemical and antioxidant properties of nanosized copolymeric micelles loaded with kaempferol

Published: July 2020

The study was focused on the evaluation of two copolymers as micellar carriers for kaempferol delivery. The copolymers comprised identical hydrophilic blocks of poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and different hydrophobic blocks of either poly(ε-caprolactone) (PDMAEMA9-b-PCL70-b-PDMAEMA9) or poly(propylene oxide) (PDMAEMA13-b-PPO69-b-PDMAEMA13). The calculation of Flory-Huggins parameters and determination of encapsulation efficiency showed that PDMAEMA-b-PCL-b-PDMAEMA copolymer possessed higher capacity for kaempferol loading. The diameter of the micelles before and after lyophilization was not changed, suggesting that the micelles could be lyophilized and redispersed before administration. The in vitro release of kaempferol from PDMAEMA-b-PPO-b-PDMAEMA micelles was faster than the release from PDMAEMA-b-PCL-b-PDMAEMA micelles, probably due to the higher affinity of kaempferol to this copolymer. Further, the higher affinity resulted in a retention of antioxidant activity of kaempferol in the presence of DPPH and KO2 radicals. Thus, PDMAEMA-PCL-PDMAEMA was considered more appropriate carrier because of the higher encapsulation efficiency and preservation of antioxidant activity of the drug.
Efficient validated method of HPLC to determine amlodipine in combinated dosage form containing amlodipine, enalapril and bisoprolol and in vitro dissolution studies with in vitro/ in vivo correlation
Authors: Logoyda Liliya
Published: July 2020

Aim. A rapid and reproducible HPLC method has been developed for the determination of amlodipine in experimental combined dosage forms containing amlodipine, bisoprolol and enalapril and for drug dissolution studies.

Materials and methods. The separation was done using a column Phenomenex Polar Synergi, 5 μm, 4.6×50 mm and a mobile phase of methanol:phosphate buffer solution (65:35, v/v), flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min. The injection volume was 100 μL and the ultraviolet detector was set at 240 nm.

Results. The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. Under these conditions, amlodipine was eluted at 1.89 min. Total run time was shorter than 2.5 min. The linearity of the method had a good correlation with concentration and peak area. The correlation coefficient of amlodipine was found to be not less than 0.9991, which indicates good linear relationship over concentration range 0.625 mg/mL–5.000 mg/mL (1.250 mg/mL–5.000 mg/mL at pH 4.5). The % RSD values in intra-day and inter-day precision study were found to be less than 0.267 for amlodipine, which indicate method was precise. Hence, the present developed method was said to be suitable for the analysis of drugs in their pharmaceutical dosage form. Also, in vitro dissolution of amlodipine containing tablets were performed to validate the suitability of the proposed method. The dissolution pattern complies with the FDA standards, indicating suitability of the proposed method for the dissolution study of amlodipine. It will allow conducting comparative studies in vitro to confirm the equivalence of tablets containing amlodipine.

Conclusion. A simple and sensetive HPLC method was developed for the estimation of amlodipine in tablets containing amlodipine, enalapril and bisoprolol. The proposed method was applied successfully for quality control assay of amlodipine in experimental tablets and in vitro dissolution studies. In vitro / in vivo correlation of amlodipine has been conducted.
HPLC-MS/MS method development for the quantitative determination of nifedipine for Caco-2 permeability assay
Authors: Logoyda Liliya
Published: July 2020

Aim. Poorly water-soluble drugs such as nifedipineoffer challenging problems in drug formulation as poor solubility is generally associated with poor dissolution characteristics and thus with poor oral bioavailability (BCS class II drugs). Methods of quantitative determination of nifedipine by methods of spectrophotometry and chromatography are described in the scientific literature. However, methods are not developedfor examination of nifedipine from Caco-2 cell monolayers. Caco-2 cell monolayers have been extensively used for years as a tool to test permeability, assess the oral absorption potential and study the absorption mechanism of compounds. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop and validate an efficient HPLC MS/MS method for determination of nifedipine from Caco-2 cell monolayers.

Materials and methods. Chromatography was achieved on DiscoveryC18, 50 × 2.1 mm, 5 μm column. Samples were chromatographed in a gradient mode (eluent A (acetonitrile – water – formic acid, 5 : 95 : 0.1 v/v), eluent B (acetonitrile – formic acid, 100 : 0.1 v/v)). The initial content of the eluent B is 0%, which increases linearly by 1.0 min to 100% and to 1.01 min returns to the initial 0%. The mobile phase was delivered at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min into the mass spectrometer ESI chamber. The sample volume was 5 μl.

Results. Under these conditions, nifedipine was eluted at 1.83 min. A linear response function was established at 1 – 100 ng/mL. The regression equation for the analysis was Y = 0.0323x-0.00121 with coefficient of correction (R2) = 0.9987. According to the Caco-2 test results, nifedipine showed high permeability. The within-run coefficients of variation ranged between 0.331% and 0.619% for nifedipine. The within-run percentages of nominal concentrations ranged between 98.80% and 100.63% for nifedipine. The between-run coefficients of variation ranged between 0.332% and 0.615% for nifedipine. The between-run percentages of nominal concentrations ranged between 98.98% and 101.71% for nifedipine. The assay values on both the occasions (intra- and inter-day) were found to be within the accepted limits.

Conclusion. From results of analysis, it can be concluded that developed method is simple and rapid for determination of nifedipine from confluent Caco-2 monolayers and from aqueous solution. Acquired results demonstrate that proposed strategy can be effortlessly and advantageously applied for examination of nifedipine from Caco-2 cell monolayers.

Samples of metoprolol were chromatographed in a gradient mode (eluent A (acetonitrile – water – formic acid, 5 : 95 : 0.1 v/v), eluent B (acetonitrile – formic acid, 100 : 0.1 v/v)). The initial content of the eluent B is 0%, which increases linearly by 1.0 min to 100% and to 1.11 min returns to the initial 0%. The mobile phase was delivered at a flow rate of 0.400 mL/min into the mass spectrometer ESI chamber. The injection volume was 5μl. Samples of meldonium were chromatographed in a isocratic using mobile phase water – acetonitrile – ammonium formate buffer 200 мМ, 20 : 75 : 5 v/v).

Results.The total chromatographic run time was 2.0 minutes and the elution of metoprolol, meldonium and IS occurred at ~1.39 and 1.18 minutes, respectively.A linear response function was established at 2 - 200 ng/mL for metoprolol and 50 -5000 ng/mL for meldonium in human plasma. The% mean recovery for metoprolol in LQC, MQC and HQC was 99.0%, 107.5% and 96.8%, for meldonium in LQC, MQC and HQC was 94.1%, 100.2% and 93.1% respectively. The lowest concentration with the RSD <20% was taken as LLOQ and was found to be 2.31 ng/mL for metoprolol, 47.70 ng/mL for meldonium. The % accuracy of LLOQ samples prepared with the different biological matrix lots were found 115.4% for metoprolol and 95.5% for meldonium, which were found within the range of 80.00–120.00% for the seven different plasma lots. % CV for LLOQ samples was observed as 12.8% and 7.7% respectively, which are within 20.00% of the acceptance criteria.

Conclusion.A rapid method was developed for simultaneous determination of metoprolol and meldonium in human plasma. The method was strictly validated according to the ICH guidelines. Acquired results demonstrate that proposed strategy can be effortlessly and advantageously applied for routine examination of metoprolol and meldonium in human plasma.

Published: July 2020

A modern school deals with a generation of students who were born and grown up in a digital environment and require other teaching methods. Changes in the technological and social conditions of modern society need new professional skills, which are often called “21st century skills”. These skills should be devel-oped starting from the primary school, as they are psychological and behavioural, rather than practical. Game-based learning and gamification are effective means of such skills development. The use of video games in teaching practice is studied multifaceted, along with formats and requirements of educational game, methods for effectiveness assessment, and the effect of games on students. The controver-sial nature of game-based learning effect on students require deeper research, as the increase in motivation and learning efficiency cannot be disputed, as well as the negative impact of a long gaming on cognitive abilities, emotional state and social skills of students. The study tested both an increase in the motivation and attraction of school students for the learning process, and the impact on the prac-tical results of information assimilation. There was conducted a survey on the re-sults of the application of game training to determine the motivation and attraction of students. Likewise, we counted time, spent by the study and control group, for mastering the main educational material and the post-class study of game content and the educational material it presents. A comparative test was conducted on the results of educational material comprehension to determine the effectiveness of the methodology in mastering knowledge. The group, with game-based learning and gamification applied, showed an increase in motivation and attraction to learning, students paid additional efforts for assimilating the material studied, and also showed significantly higher learning outcomes compared to the control group.
Affective Characteristics for 21st Century Learning Environments: Do They Matter?
Authors: Wong Su Luan
Published: July 2020

Twenty-first century learners are media-centric and heavily reliant on technology. Internet-accessible resources are always at the students’ finger-tips and they learn through such resources anywhere, anytime. Unfortunately, formal education in most part of Asia remains largely examination focused given the immense pressure to obtain paper qualifications. Our challenge today is how do we make students learn on their own volition? How do we then sustain learning when the education system is still very much examination-centric? Success in learning is not always dependent on the ways students are taught in the classroom or the tools they use to learn but can be very much affected by the learners’ affective characteristics. This paper highlights two selected affective characteristics — attitudes and interest, as previous and current literature continue to suggest their positive impact on student behavior including learning.

Published: July 2020

It is no doubt that information technology has played significant importance in higher education in particular in the era of the 4.0 industrial revolution. The progress in technology is expected to support and facilitate the teaching and learning process. One information technology product that can be used is a learning management system (LMS) such as Schoology. Schoology offers all the tools in classroom management which are needed to create interesting content, support learning activities, and assess student understanding. However, the platform itself being used in a chemistry classroom is still rarely found. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to investigate chemistry classroom management using LMS Schoology. A quantitative-descriptive analysis was used to analyze data. Registered inorganic chemistry undergraduate students (n = 52) of semester IV participated in this study. The data was collected using a 28-items questionnaire which accumulated the perception of students regarding chemical class management using Schoology. The results of the study showed positive responses toward that management of teaching materials, management discussions, assignments, quizzes/exams, management of communication and ultimately interaction using LMS Schoology aced the chemistry classroom management.

Utiliser des méthodes évaluatives adaptées à la fois au contexte d’intervention, à l’objet de l’évaluation et aux populations ciblées est essentielle en évaluation de programmes. Toutefois, cela comporte des défis non négligeables dans le cas d’interventions complexes et de communautés marginalisées. Dans ce chapitre, nous présentons une méthode d’évaluation participative utilisant la photo comme support d’expression – la photovoix, – , particulièrement adaptée aux jeunes et aux communautés autochtones ciblées par un projet d’accès à l’eau, l’hygiène et l’assainissement au Mexique. Cette méthode qualitative a aussi été choisie pour son caractère créatif et artistique permettant de répondre à l’objectif de l’évaluation : évaluer les perceptions des jeunes par rapport aux activités artistiques auxquelles ils ont participé dans le cadre de la composante Art Social pour le Changement de Comportement ; les encourageant à adopter de meilleures pratiques en lien avec l’eau potable et l’hygiène. Les forces et les faiblesses de cette méthode sont exposées et le processus méthodologique décrit en détail. Les résultats de l’intervention mis en évidence par ce processus sont brièvement présentés et enfin, les leçons tirées de l’application de la photovoix sont décrites afin d’encourager l’utilisation de cette méthode qui s’est avérée particulièrement utile et concluante dans le cas présenté.

Authors: Dumont Alexandre
Published: July 2020

Les essais contrôlés randomisés en grappe permettent d’évaluer l’impact des interventions en santé avec un niveau de preuve très élevé. Si les essais randomisés en grappes offrent plusieurs avantages dans les pays à faibles ressources par rapport aux essais individuels, ils présentent quelques défis méthodologiques qui tiennent au fait que l’unité d’analyse est différente de l’unité de randomisation ou d’intervention. Ces défis tant sur le plan de la mise en œuvre de l’intervention que de l’analyse statistique sont présentés à partir d’une expérience réalisée au Mali et au Sénégal (essai QUARITE) pour réduire la mortalité maternelle et néonatale hospitalière. Nous verrons comment l’approche « différence des différences » permet de mesurer l’effet l’intervention tout en tenant compte de l’effet du temps qui joue souvent favorablement sur les indicateurs de santé en dehors de toute intervention extérieure. Les modèles statistiques appropriés sont présentés pour pouvoir ajuster l’effet de l’intervention sur les différences qui existent entre les groupes expérimentaux avant le démarrage du programme à tester et sur l’effet de groupe propre aux essais en grappe.

L’équité en santé est largement identifiée comme un objectif auquel les politiques et activités de santé publique doivent répondre en priorité, mais dont la définition varie considérablement. Dans ce chapitre, nous proposons une définition de l’équité en santé qui fait référence à la distribution des bénéfices des politiques publiques. Dans ce chapitre nous présentons différentes méthodes de mesures des inégalités de santé, leur application à l’évaluation des effets des interventions à travers l’exemple de l’effet de l’exemption du paiement des frais de soins sur l’accès aux soins obstétricaux dans le cadre d’un exemple simulé. Ces mesures incluent notamment l’indice de concentration et l’indice de Theil. Enfin, nous proposons différentes approches pour les appliquer à l’évaluation des effets des interventions donc à l’équité incluant une approche simple et une base sur l’utilisation de méthodes quasi-expérimentales. L’évaluation de l’équité en santé publique est importante pour s’assurer que, d’une part, des interventions ne contribuent pas à augmenter les inégalités de santé et qu’elles répondent aux objectifs énoncés dans le cadre d’interventions visant à réduire les inégalités de santé.
17. L’évaluation réaliste
Authors: Dossou Jean-Paul , Marchal Bruno
Published: July 2020

L’évaluation réaliste (ER) explicite les mécanismes causaux des résultats d’une intervention dans différents contextes. En s’appuyant sur l’évaluation de la mise en œuvre d’une politique de santé en Afrique de l’Ouest, ce chapitre illustre les différentes étapes du cycle de l’ER. À la première étape, les questions de recherche sont formulées. La valeur ajoutée de l’approche de l’ER est optimale sur des questions de type « Pourquoi ? Comment ? Pour qui ? et dans quels contextes une intervention marche ou non ? ». La seconde étape est la formulation de la théorie de programme initiale qui dépend de la nature de l’intervention, les objectifs d’évaluation, la nature des produits prioritaires attendus de l’évaluation, les ressources disponibles et la familiarité de l’évaluateur avec l’objet d’évaluation. La collecte des données peut se baser sur une forme particulière d’entretien qualitatif appelé « entretien réaliste ». En pratique, la collecte de données doit s’adapter aux informateurs clés, à leurs perceptions et attentes vis-à-vis des évaluateurs et évaluatrices pour éviter la tendance à la confirmation systématique de la théorie de l’évaluateur par les interviewés. L’analyste réaliste identifie activement les configurations « Intervention-Contexte-Acteur-Mécanisme-Résultat ». En pratique le raisonnement par rétroduction est utilisé pour expliciter les mécanismes. Un tableau permettant de suivre les changements apportés à la théorie de programme initiale facilite la dernière étape de la synthèse et du rapport de l’ER.

Fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) non-invasively obtained through abdominal recordings serves as a promising diagnostic tool for fetal health monitoring during pregnancy. However, in the abdominal ECG (AECG) signal, FECG overlaps with maternal ECG (MECG) in both temporal and spectral domains in addition to interference from various sources like electromyogram, electrogastrogram, motion artifacts and other noises. The objective of this paper is to eliminate MECG components from AECG signal to extract FECG signal through FIR adaptive noise canceller (ANC) with filter coefficients updated using adaptive algorithms. Adaptive filters are suitable for current problem of interest and Least Mean Square (LMS) and its variants are analyzed for the problem of FECG extraction. We have compared the four variants of LMS such as normalized LMS (NLMS), sign-error algorithm, least mean fourth (LMF) algorithms for FECG extraction. The algorithms are evaluated using real-time abdominal ECG recordings acquired from daisy database. The performance of each algorithm is evaluated using various parameters like sensitivity, accuracy, positive predictive values and [Formula: see text] score. Further, the convergence rate for different algorithms are plotted and analyzed. From the simulation results, it is observed that the LMF algorithm outperforms its counterparts by providing an accuracy and positive predictive value of 73.3%, sensitivity of 100% and [Formula: see text] measure of 84.5%. The convergence plots obtained justify that LMF algorithm has a faster convergence rate compared to the other variants of LMS.
Zakat Collection From Foreign Workers in Malaysia
Authors: Nor Paizin Muhsin
Published: July 2020

Foreign labor in Malaysia has been recently estimated to range between 1 to 2 million. Recent figures show that there are about 1.8 million registered or regular foreign workers, and the rest are unregistered (undocumented or irregular) workers. To understand the potential, we need to take consideration that zakat payment should be made by those who gained income above a specific nisab. In order to obtain the number of foreign workers under this category, the authors refer to the percentage of foreign workers (expatriates) who work under category I and II of employment passes (monthly salary above RM5,000 per month). The religiosity factor has to be addressed carefully to at least change Muslim foreign workers' outlook in life to become potential zakat payers. The mosque is recognized as an important Islamic institution to act as a catalyst in the evolution of zakat management in Malaysia. Nonetheless, the target of potential zakat collection should be more on higher educated foreign workers by giving special incentives to them if they are paying zakat in Malaysia.
Establishment of Zakat Bank

Published: July 2020

When the Islamic bank was first established in 1963, they realised leveraging on the conventional platform was an easy way out to create an Islamic banking system. Despite of financial outcry, multiplications, and lack of welfare on the customers, the bank continues championing the financial system. Behaving as an alternative to the conventional financing, Islamic banking is no different. With all the conventional guidelines and controlled regulations of IMF and the World Bank, the Islamic bank's hands are tied. Nothing much has been done to ensure a complete move out to assist customers in getting ‘good financing facility,' which is humane in nature. This chapter is an attempt to explore Zakat Bank out of banking furore using a Zakat platform. The finding suggests that the establishment of Zakat Bank is crucial to ensure the true financing based on Shariah principles and guidelines. This chapter adopts library research including reports and guidelines from the financial regulators. The chapter concludes with a proposed model for a Zakat Bank for authority's consideration.

Sentiment Analysis as a Restricted NLP Problem
Authors: Kumar Akshi , Gupta Divya
Published: July 2020

With the accelerated evolution of social networks, there is a tremendous increase in opinions by the people about products or services. While this user-generated content in natural language is intended to be valuable, its large amounts require use of content mining methods and NLP to uncover the knowledge for various tasks. In this study, sentiment analysis is used to analyze and understand the opinions of users using statistical approaches, knowledge-based approaches, hybrid approaches, and concept-based ontologies. Unfortunately, sentiment analysis also experiences a range of difficulties like colloquial words, negation handling, ambiguity in word sense, coreference resolution, which highlight another perspective emphasizing that sentiment analysis is certainly a restricted NLP problem. The purpose of this chapter is to discover how sentiment analysis is a restricted NLP problem. Thus, this chapter discussed the concept of sentiment analysis in the field of NLP and explored that sentiment analysis is a restricted NLP problem due to the sophisticated nature of natural language.

Published: July 2020

In recent years, digital technology and research methods have developed natural language processing for better understanding consumers and what they share in social media. There are hardly any studies in transportation analysis with TripAdvisor, and moreover, there is not a complete analysis from the point of view of sentiment analysis. The aim of study is to investigate and discover the presence of sustainable transport modes underlying in non-categorized TripAdvisor texts, such as walking mobility in order to impact positively in public services and businesses. The methodology follows a quantitative and qualitative approach based on knowledge discovery techniques. Thus, data gathering, normalization, classification, polarity analysis, and labelling tasks have been carried out to obtain sentiment labelled training data set in the transport domain as a valuable contribution for predictive analytics. This research has allowed the authors to discover sustainable transport modes underlying the texts, focused on walking mobility but extensible to other means of transport and social media sources.
X-Ray Scattering Studies of Expanded Fluid Metals
Authors: Matsuda Kazuhiro , Inui Masanori
Published: July 2020

Fluid metals exhibit significant properties of thermodynamic-state dependence, since the inter-particle interaction among the constituents (electrons and ions) considerably changes depending on their thermodynamic conditions. The authors have thus far carried out X-ray scattering experiments of fluid metals in the expanded state, which have enabled them to gain insight into microscopic understanding of the structural and electronic properties of fluid metals. The purpose of this chapter is to provide intriguing aspects of fluid metals originated from the existence of conduction electrons, which distinguishes fluid metals from non-conducting fluids, through the results of fluid rubidium and mercury.
High-Power Heat Transfer in Supercritical Fluids

Published: July 2020

Non-stationary heat transfer in supercritical fluids at relatively small temporal and spatial scales was studied experimentally. The aim of the study was to clarify the peculiarities of conductive heat transfer mode at significant heat loads. An unexpected stepwise decrease in the instant heat transfer coefficient has been revealed in the course of crossing the vicinity of the critical temperature along the supercritical isobar. This means that the peaks of isobaric heat capacity and excess thermal conductivity, which are known from stationary measurements, do not affect the experimental results. It is assumed that the action of considerable gradient in temperature and the presence of heat-transfer surface in pulse heated system can serve as factors that suppress large-scale fluctuations, leading to a “smoothing” the critical enhancement of the thermophysical properties. As an important consequence, this study gives new insight into selection of the operating pressure of supercritical heat transfer agent.
