A Network-Based Model for Mitigating Traffic Jams in Road Networks
Authors: Salih Hasan Ahmed
Published: November 2021

Abstract. In recent years, the city of Mosul, which is the capital city of Nineveh province in the North of Iraq, had witnessed an unstable situation (e.g., wars, internal conflicts) that led to destructing most of the infrastructure including city roads. In addition, the population of Mosul is currently concentrated on the east coast of the city. Therefore, this situation has caused a server traffic jam and the roads have become overloaded, which is time-wasting when accessing a particular place in the city. In this analytical study, the roads of the east coast of Mosul city are modeled in the form of a Road Network. The proposed approach is based on concepts inspired from Complex Networks and their measurements such as clustering coefficient, betweenness, degree, and closeness. The dataset of this work was collected from Google Earth with the support of governmental offices and road-experienced individuals. The created network represents the road network of Mosul city. In the results, suggestions and recommendations are provided, which can contribute to alleviating the problem of traffic congestion in the city of Mosul. The provided suggestions do not need a high cost because the proposed approach benefits the current road networks with few modifications. The proposed approach is applicable to any city of interest.

Published: November 2021

Any construction project through several stages, starting from the feasibilitystudy stage to the project delivery stage, as the most critical stage that must be focused on is the design stage. It was essential to adopt modern and advanced programs at the design stage to avoid problems and claims between the employer and the contractor due to changes and errors that occur in the project—design process. BIM is one of the modern technologies with many benefits that can be used to solve these errors and obstacles. This research aims to clarify the effectiveness of introducing the BIM system in the design stage of the construction building by comparing it with traditional CAD systems. In this research, ten different actual projects were studied in the architectural design stage to be used in the comparison process between BIM and CAD systems. The researcher reached a set of results, including that introducing the (BIM) in the architectural and structural design stage can reduce the time required to produce design documents by up to (67.6%). This study is helpful for all governmental and private design companies and encourages decision-makers to use the BIM system.
Mechanisms of Covid-induced Heart failure
Authors: Bunks Frank , Mercado Roel
Published: November 2021

Sars-Cov-2 binds to ACE-2 receptor, resulting in excess amount of ACE-1 dependent angiotensin production. Sars-Cov-2 has four stages of symptoms, 80% if symptomatic patients have been shown to only suffer a “mild” disease course, meanwhile 20% endure stage 3, which is characterized by conditions such as ARDS, shock, and multiorgan failure. The binding of Covid to ACE receptors promotes the conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2, constricting blood vessels, leading to thrombosis, lack of oxygen, and Ischemia. In Cardiac injury, the Covid receptor becomes represented in the heart, inducing in a pro-inflammatory increase, high cytokine concentrations, myocyte cardiac apoptosis, cardiac arrythmia, cardiac fibrotic tissue, myocarditis, and Heart failure. Cytokine storms associated with production of S1P, TNF activation of MMPs prompts myocardial depression, dilation of LV, and Heart failure. Covid-induced Sepsis corresponds with dysregulated host immune responses, increased pro-inflammatory mediators, fluid leakage, increase in cGMP, LV dysfunction, and arrythmia. Blood clots in the capillaries surrounding the kidneys generate renal impairment. Progression of renal impairment generates a state of systemic inflammation. Increased sodium content in the body results in elevated plasma blood and uncontrolled hypervolemia. Emotional and physical stresses during Sars-Cov-2 induce blood gas changes, angiotensin converting enzyme imbalance, and immune/inflammatory factors. Overactivation of the SNS induces Takotsubo syndrome. In ARDS, fluid leak in the membrane gas exchange region of the lung results in vascular remodeling. Inducing further vascular remodeling as part of the body’s response to hypoxia. The constant vascular remodeling triggers RHF.

Authors: Rocha Paulo , Pinto Marinho Felipe , Oliveira Santos Victor , Praxedes Mendonça Stéphano , Vieira da Silva Maria Eugênia
Published: November 2021

Topics related to the modeling of turbulent flow feature significant relevance in several areas, especially in engineering, since the vast majority of flows present in the design of devices and systems are characterized to be turbulent. A vastly applied tool for the analysis of such flows is the use of numerical simulations based on turbulence models. Thus, this work aims to evaluate the performance of several turbulence models when applied to classic problems of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, already extensively validated by empirical procedures. The OpenFOAM open source software was used, being highly suitable for obtaining numerical solutions to problems of fluid mechanics involving complex geometries. The problems for the evaluation of turbulence models selected were: two-dimensional cavity, Pitz-Daily, air flow over an airfoil, air flow over the Ahmed blunt body and the problem of natural convection between parallel plates. The solution to such problems was achieved by utilizing several Reynolds Averaged  Equations (RANS) turbulence models, namely: k-ε, k-ω, Lam-Bremhorst k-ε, k-ω SST, Lien-Leschziner k-ε, Spalart-Allmaras, Launder-Sharma k-ε, renormalization group (RNG) k-ε. The results obtained were compared to those found in the literature which were empirically obtained, thus allowing the assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the turbulence modeling applied in each problem.

Published: November 2021

Knowledge about coastal and small island ecosystems is increasing for the monitoring of marine resources based on remote sensing. Remote sensing data provides up-to-date information with various resolutions when detecting changes in ecosystems. Studies have defined a shift in marine resources but were limited only to pixel or object classification in changes of seagrass area. In the present study, two classification method analysis approaches were compared to obtain optimum results in detecting changes in seagrass extent. It aimed to determine the dynamics of a seagrass ecosystem by comparing two classification methods in the waters of Gusung Island and Pajenekang, South Sulawesi, these methods being pixel-based and object-based classification methods. This research used SPOT-7 satellite imagery with 6 m2 of spatial resolution. Accuracy assessment using the confusion matrix showed optimum accuracy in object-based classification with an accuracy value of 87 %. Meanwhile, pixel-based classification showed an accuracy value of 78 % around Gusung Island. Pajenekang Island had accuracy values of 69 % with object-based classification and 65 % with pixel-based classification. A comparison of both classification methods revealed statistically high accuracy in mapping the benthic habitats of seagrass ecosystems. The results of the classifications showed a decline in the area of seagrass populations around Gusung Island from 2016 - 2018 and around Pajenekang Island from 2013 - 2017, with a change rate of 11.8 % around the island of Gusung and 7.6 % around the island of Pajenekang. This can explain the reason for the temporal method of object-based research classification having the best potential to process data changes in areas of seagrass in South Sulawesi waters and remote sensing information for the mapping of coastal area ecosystems.

HIGHLIGHTS

Information on coastal ecosystems globally with remote sensing data is currently very easy to access, but information related to ecosystem management and seagrass ecology in certain areas is still limited

Analysis of seagrass benthic changes in shallow water requires data processing methods with high accuracy

The OBIA (Object Based Image Analysis) method is one of the analytical methods that can provide optimal results in observing changes in seagrass ecosystems in the waters of South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Authors: Faisal Mohammad Reza , Nugroho Radityo Adi , Ramadhani Rahmat , Abadi Friska , Herteno Rudy , Saragih Triando Hamonangan
Published: November 2021

Researchers have collected Twitter data to study a wide range of topics, one of which is a natural disaster. A social network sensor was developed in existing research to filter natural disaster information from direct eyewitnesses, none eyewitnesses, and non-natural disaster information. It can be used as a tool for early warning or monitoring when natural disasters occur. The main component of the social network sensor is the text tweet classification. Similar to text classification research in general, the challenge is the feature extraction method to convert Twitter text into structured data. The strategy commonly used is vector space representation. However, it has the potential to produce high dimension data. This research focuses on the feature extraction method to resolve high dimension data issues. We propose a hybrid approach of word2vec-based and lexicon-based feature extraction to produce new features. The Experiment result shows that the proposed method has fewer features and improves classification performance with an average AUC value of 0.84, and the number of features is 150. The value is obtained by using only the word2vec-based method. In the end, this research shows that lexicon-based did not influence the improvement in the performance of social network sensor predictions in natural disasters.

HIGHLIGHTS

Implementation of text classification is generally only used to perform sentiment analysis, it is still rare to use it to perform text classification for use in determining direct eyewitnesses in cases of natural disasters

One of the common problems in text mining research is the extracted features from the vector space representation method generate high dimension data

A hybrid approach of word2vec-based and lexicon-based feature extraction experiment was conducted in order to find a method that can generate new features with low dimensions and also improve the classification performance

Authors: Sarker Bappi , Rahman Md. Arafat , Rahman Md. Mizanur , Islam Md. Saiful
Published: November 2021

Despite the importance of Nickel Oxide (NiO) in diverse functional applications, very little information is available on the mechanical properties of bulk or porous NiO or, mostly unnoticed. In this study, porous Ni-NiO foam was synthesized using space holding-powder metallurgy and sintering methods to produce opened-cell structure with macrogravel and Neolamarckia cadamba (Cadamba flower) like surface morphology. Four different types of porous Ni-NiO with different pore diameter of 35.65 ± 12.77, 36.10 ± 8.85, 68.20 ±7.36 and 62.45 ± 17.48 µm were fabricated for evaluating the effect of porosity on the mechanical properties of bulk porous Ni-NiO foam. The mechanical properties such as bulk crushing force of as synthesized Ni-NiO foam with various porosities such as 20.55, 27.35, 27.85 and 28.82 % exhibited the average crushing load of 115.40, 39.95, 138.10 and 151.20 N, respectively. This study suggests that crushing load of Ni-NiO foam is not only depending on the porosity but also on the sintering temperature and crystallite sizes of NiO.

Published: November 2021

Deduplication methods were designed to destroy copy information which bring about capacity of single duplicates of information as it were. Information Deduplication diminishes the circle space needed to store the back-ups in the extra room, tracks and kill the second duplicate of information inside the capacity unit. It permits as it were one case information event to be put away initially and afterward following occasions will be given reference pointer to the first information put away. In a Big information stockpiling climate, immense measure of information should be secure. For this legitimate administration, work, misrepresentation identification, investigation of information protection is an significant theme to be thought of. This paper inspects and assesses the common deduplication procedures and which are introduced in plain structure. In this review, it was seen that the secrecy and security of information has been undermined at numerous levels in common strategies for deduplication. Albeit much exploration is being done in different zones of distributed computing still work relating to this point is inadequate. To get rid of duplicate data which results in storage of single copies of data, data deduplication techniques were used. Data deduplication helps in decreasing storage capacity requirements and eliminates extra copies of same data inside storage unit. Proper management, work, fraud detection, analysis of data privacy are the topics to be considered in a big data storage environment, since, large amount of data needs to be secure. At many levels in general techniques for deduplication it is observed that safety of data and confidentiality has been compromised. Even though more research is being carried out in different areas of cloud computing still work related to this topic is little.

Mathematics plays a predominant role in our everyday life and has become an indispensable factor for the progress of our present day world. Counting starts from day one of the birth of a person. Most students would like to know why they have to study various mathematical concepts. Teachers usually cannot think of a real-life application for most topics or the examples that they have are beyond the level of most students. Mathematics is generally regarded as the driest subject at school, made up of routine, difficult, boring, arcane and irrelevant calculations which have nothing to do with discovery and imagination. In this paper, I have discussed the purposes of mathematics, aims of mathematics education and the rationales for a broad-based school curriculum followed by some examples of applications of mathematics in the workplace that secondary school and junior college students can understand. Lastly, I will look at how mathematical processes, such as problem solving, investigation, and analytical and critical thinking, are important in the workplace. The truly outstanding work of this research paper is a collection of review papers / articles investigating the open problems. In this paper I have discussed recent advances, problems and their current status as well as historical background of the subjects. It will help the students in pursuing higher education in their respective fields.
Electron impact dissociation of CO2 (a review)
Authors: Lebedev Yurii , Shakhatov Vyasheslav
Published: November 2021

Based on a detailed analysis and generalization of the results of calculations of the energy spectrum of electrons using different models in gas discharges in pure carbon dioxide CO2 and in mixtures containing CO2 , the rate constant of CO2 dissociation by electron impact in a gas discharge of direct current at atmospheric pressure is found. It is shown that, at values of the reduced electric field from 55 Td to 100 Td, the predominant

mechanism of decomposition of the CO2 molecule is the collision of CO2 molecules with electrons. An expression is obtained for calculating the rate constant of CO2 dissociation by electron impact as a function of the reduced electric field.
Theoretical analysis of the factors, influencing composition uniformity of the cadmium zinc telluride substrates grown by THM
Authors: Senchenkov Alekxander
Published: November 2021

The effect of the sample composition, variation of the temperature field and the feed material non-homogeneity on uniformity of the growing crystal is considered. It is shown

that optimization of the solvent composition makes it possible to minimize the jump of the ZnTe concentration at the seed/crystal boundary. The composition fluctuations at variation of the thermal field during crystal growth are smooth enough and relatively

non-significant. The feed composition distribution has, as a rule, a random character. Different harmonics of composition distribution non-uniformity in the feed material differently affect the homogeneity of the growing crystal. Longwave non-uniformities in the feed transform into the growing crystal almost completely. At the wavelength equals to a half of the solvent length or shorter, the perturbations of the growing crystal composition are relatively small. Evidently, the cause of the local composition variations, found in real crystals, is, basically, the feed composition non-uniformities

Authors:   Camas High School, Wu Steven
Published: November 2021

The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis stems from the overuse and misuse of antibiotic medications (Ventola, 2015). Antibiotics have been used to treat bacterial diseases, prevent infections during surgeries, and treat flesh wounds such as dog bites. Antimicrobial resistance accounts for more than 700,000 deaths per year worldwide and will cost 10 million lives by 2050 (Eisenstein, 2017). With the development of new antibiotics, bacteria have evolved to become immune to the treatments, creating a vicious cycle (Srinivasan, 2014).

Data from 2 randomized controlled trials indicated a statistically significant benefit in progression-free survival and overall survival for patients with follicular lymphoma who received R2 as compared to patients who received rituximab plus placebo or R-CHOP.

The frequency of all types of adverse events in patients receiving R2 as compared to rituximab plus placebo or R-CHOP was comparable, but patients receiving R2 experienced more severe adverse events.

Two economic analyses concluded that R2 was cost-effective for the treatment of patients with follicular lymphoma as compared to rituximab plus placebo (UK and Dutch contexts).

Evidence identified in this review was mostly limited to that describing patients with follicular lymphoma.

Most evidence identified in this review was generated with support and/or funding from a private industry pharmaceutical manufacturer.

O Centro Universitário de Mineiros (UNIFIMES) é uma Instituição de Ensino Superior Municipal, localizado na cidade de Mineiros, Estado de Goiás, criada pela Lei Municipal nº 1.495, de 14 de dezembro de 2010, credenciada pelo Decreto Estadual nº 7.333 de 13 de maio de 2011 e mantida pela Fundação Integrada Municipal de Ensino Superior (FIMES), instituída pela Lei Municipal nº 278, de 11 de março de 1985. A UNIFIMES funcionou como Faculdades Isoladas de 1985 a 2004, Faculdades Integradas de 2005 a 2010 e foi credenciada como Centro Universitário no período de 2011 a 2021. Oferta cursos de graduação e pósgraduação lato sensu em várias áreas de conhecimento. Atualmente conta com duas unidades. A sede, que está localizada em Mineiros-GO com a oferta de 14 cursos de graduação. Dentre esses, dois deles funcionam também no Campus de Trindade-GO. É regida pela legislação nacional através do Ministério da Educação (MEC), legislação do Conselho Estadual de Educação de Goiás (CEE/GO), pelo Estatuto da FIMES, pelo Estatuto e Regimento Geral da UNIFIMES e por normas emanadas de seus órgãos colegiados. O Artigo 24 do seu Estatuto define a Pró-Reitoria de Ensino, de Pesquisa e de Extensão (PROEPE) como sendo um órgão executivo de coordenação, supervisão, fomento e controle das atividades inerentes ao ensino, à pesquisa e à extensão. De 1985 a 2010, o controle destas atividades era de um departamento similar, com outra denominação. O objetivo geral do trabalho foi apresentar um relato sobre as experiências vivenciadas no ensino, pesquisa e extensão, no período de 1985 a 2020. Assim como analisado se a sua prática foi compatível com as políticas de ensino, de pesquisa e de extensão prevista na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases para a oferta do Ensino Superior. O que se pôde perceber em 35 anos é que a Instituição se preocupou com a oferta de um ensino que atendesse os parâmetros de qualidade, privilegiando e integrando-o à pesquisa e extensão, tanto que, no segundo semestre de 2020, a instituição protocolou junto ao CEE/GO o pedido de credenciamento como Universidade. Uma boa leitura a todos!

Abstract. We performed extensive Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of single-wavelength lidar signals from a plane-parallel homogeneous layer of atmospheric particles and developed an empirical model to account for the multiple scattering in the lidar signals. The simulations have taken into consideration four types of lidar configurations (the ground based, the airborne, the CALIOP, and the ATLID) and four types of particles (coarse aerosol, water cloud, jet-stream cirrus and cirrus). Most of simulations were performed with the spatial resolution of 20 m and the particles extinction coefficient εp between 0.06 km−1 and 1.0 km−1. The resolution was of 5 m for high values of εp (up to 10.0 km−1). The majority of simulations for ground-based and airborne lidars were performed at two values of the receiver field-of-view (RFOV): 0.25 mrad and 1.0 mrad. The effect of the width of the RFOV was studied for the values up to 50 mrad. The proposed empirical model is a function that has only three free parameters and approximates the multiple-scattering relative contribution to lidar signals. It is demonstrated that the empirical model has very good quality of MC data fitting for all considered cases. Special attention was given to the usual operational conditions, i.e., low distances to a particles layer, small optical depths and quite narrow receiver field-of-views. It is demonstrated that multiple scattering effects cannot be neglected when the distance to a particles layer is about 8 km or higher and the full RFOV is of 1.0 mrad. As for the full RFOV of 0.25 mrad, the single scattering approximation is acceptable for aerosols (εp ≲ 1.0 km−1), water clouds (εp ≲ 0.5 km−1), and cirrus clouds (εp ≤ 0.1 km−1). When the distance to a particles layer is of 1 km, the single scattering approximation is acceptable for aerosols and water clouds (εp ≲ 1.0 km−1, both RFOV = 0.25 and RFOV = 1 mrad). As for cirrus clouds, the effect of multiple scattering cannot be neglected even at such low distance when εp ≳ 0.5 km−1.

Abstract. The projected warming, nutrient decline, changes in net primary production, deoxygenation and acidification of the global ocean will dramatically affect marine ecosystems during the 21st century. Here we assess the climate change-related impacts in the marine ecosystems of the Mediterranean Sea in the middle and at the end of the 21st century using high-resolution projections of the physical and biogeochemical state of the basin under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5. The analysis shows significant changes in the dissolved nutrient content of the euphotic and intermediate layers of the basin, net primary production, phytoplankton respiration and carbon stock (including phytoplankton, zooplankton, bacterial biomass and particulate organic matter). The projections also show a uniform surface and subsurface reduction in the oxygen concentration driven by the warming of the water column and by the increase in respiration. Moreover, we observe an acidification in the upper water column, linked to the increase in the dissolved inorganic carbon content of the water column due to CO2 absorption from the atmosphere and the increase in respiration. The projected changes are stronger in the eastern Mediterranean due to the limited influence, in that part of the basin, of the exchanges in the Strait of Gibraltar.
