Authors: P. Shanmugavadivu , G. Kanimozhi , S. Dhamodharan , A. Nithya
Published: August 2023

Breast cancer ranks as the second most common malignancy among women and the second-most common reason for cancer deaths worldwide. Digital Mammogram screening can offer low-cost early diagnosis and reduce the breast cancer fatality rate among victims. This research aims to build a model that automatically assists in classifying malignant and benign lesions depicted on digital mammograms without any human interventions. The Mammographic Image Analysis Society (mini-MIAS) image dataset, which contains 322 mammograms, is employed in the present study. This research focuses on the Background Preserved and Feature-Oriented Contrast Improvement (BPFO-CI) method for contrast enhancement that uses the Weighted Cumulative Distribution Function. The Region of Interest (RoI) is then extracted from the improved mammograms using the Thresholding Segmentation method. Then extracted RoIs are used as input for classification using optimal Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Data augmentation is applied to the pre-processed dataset. The suggested pre-processed CNN model's performance is compared to various classification algorithms in pertaining to accuracy and confusion matrix. The simulation results confirm the importance and effectiveness of the suggested model in comparison to other well-known conventional approaches. As a result, this classification method is predicted to aid in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Purpose: аssessment of individual and long-term variability of birth rates in female fur seals and their impact on the population size.

   Method: analysis of materials of long-term reading of tags on female fur seals tagged with metal tags in 1964–1997.

   Novelty: for the first time, birth rates in females from the generations of 1964–1997 were calculated. throughout their entire life cycle.

   Results: birth rate during the life cycle in females from generations 1964–1997 was estimated, which varied from 0.5 to 3.3 pups per 1 female (including nulliparous females). Significant individual variability of birth rates was established: along with nulliparous females, there were females in generations who gave birth during their lifetime from 1 to 11 puppies. Analysis of the data showed that about a quarter of the females do not participate in reproduction; a third of females give birth to 1 puppy in the life cycle; about a third of the females give birth to 2–4 puppies. Only 8.6 % of females give birth to 5 puppies or more, however, these multiparous females give birth to more than a third of puppies (34.1 %) of the total number of puppies. The contribution to the reproduction of the population in females who gave birth to 1–3 puppies is approximately equal — they give birth to 18–20 % of puppies; it slightly decreases in females who have given birth to 4 puppies (14.5 %). Average population birth rates by years, calculated as the arithmetic mean of generations of females breeding in the corresponding years, significantly correlated with the total number of puppies born in these years (r = 0.64; p < 0.001).
Evaluating the Impact of Risk Factors on Construction Projects of Foci in Nigeria
Authors: Akinola V. O.
Published: August 2023

Risk management is a vital project management planning and control tool for reducing uncertainty and improving decision-making. Risk cannot be avoided but must be recognized, assessed and managed. One of the challenges facing the construction in Nigeria is how to assess the risk of cost overruns and deliver projects within budget. These risks can cause losses and lead to increase in costs, time delays and lack of quality project delivery. The purpose of this paper is to identify and assess the impact of the risk factors on construction projects of Federation of Construction Industry (FOCI) in Nigeria and likelihood of occurrence and degree of usage of risk analytical techniques. A total of 171 self-administered questionnaires were sent out to registered construction firms with the FOCI in Nigeria and 146 was returned representing 85.38% of respondent rate. Results of the study indicated that unavailability of funds, construction delay, inadequate specification with MIS 3.42, 3.18, 3.05, 3.04 and 3.03 ranked first, second, third, fourth and fifth, respectively as the most impactful risk factors to construction projects. Delphi Method, influencing diagram and portfolio with mean score of 3.38, 3.28 and 3.14, respectively were prominent among the analytical techniques on construction projects. However, Monte Carlo Simulation and Latin-Hyper-Cube with mean score of 2.82 and 2.92 respectively were the least from the rear. T-Test showed that only Sensitivity Analysis (111.425, P<0.05), Probabilistic analysis (55.534, P<0.05), Influence Diagram (26.164, P< 0.05), Decision Tree Analysis (25.726, P<0.05), Latin – Hyper-Cube (22.430, P<0.05), Monte Carlo Simulation (20.247, P<0.05), Delphi Method (18.493, P<0.05) as frequent of usage of alternative decision, have significant influence on risk analysis. From this study, various sets of risk factors impact differently on construction projects. Therefore, there should be adequate provision and incorporation of risks factors into the bid estimates and contractors should be encouraged to assess and consider these risks factors when bidding; so as to avert the problem of time and cost overrun.
Diverse Frequency Time-Modulation for Passive False Target Spoofing: Design and Experiment
Authors: Li Mengmeng , Ramaccia Davide , Toscano Alessandro , Bilotti Filiberto
Published: August 2023

This paper presents a new design of diverse frequency time-modulation for linear frequency modulated (LFM) radar passive false target spoofing. To realize the passive diverse frequency time-modulation, the modulated metasurface is designed accordingly, which is composed by a set of elements, each of which is independently time-modulated to realize specific false targets in the high-resolution range profile (HRRP) of the radar system. Thanks to the control of the modulation scheme in each element and the combined response of the overall surface, we demonstrate the capability to realize several false target patterns consisting of single and multiple targets symmetrically, or asymmetrically, distributed around the actual target. A HRRP general expression of the time modulated diverse frequency metasurface at different observation angles is given to show the relation between the generated false targets and frequency components. Since having more flexible capacity of reflected signal manipulation comparing to false target spoofing only through time modulation with consistent modulation frequency, the proposed method has enhanced performance on control of false targets at different observation angles. Both simulated and measured results demonstrate the validity of false targets manipulation, demonstrating its effectiveness as electromagnetic countermeasure for achieving radar camouflaging and deception.  
A KL Divergence-Based Loss for In Vivo Ultrafast Ultrasound Image Enhancement with Deep Learning
Authors: Viñals Roser , Thiran Jean-Philippe
Published: August 2023

Ultrafast ultrasound (US) imaging is a pioneering imaging modality that achieves higher frame rates than traditional US imaging, enabling the visualization and analysis of fast dynamics in tissues and flows. Nevertheless, images resulting from this technique suffer from a low-quality level. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have demonstrated great potential for reducing image artifacts and recovering speckle patterns without compromising the frame rate. As yet, CNNs have been mostly trained on large datasets of simulated or in vitro  phantom images, but their performances on in vivo images remains suboptimal. In the current study, we present a method to enhance the image quality of single unfocused acquisitions by relying on a CNN. We introduce a training loss function that accounts for the high dynamic range of the radio frequency data and uses the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence to preserve the probability distributions of the echogenicity values. We conduct an extensive performance analysis of our approach using a new large in vivo dataset of 20,000 images. The predicted images are compared qualitatively to the target images obtained from the coherent compounding of 87 plane waves (PW). The structural similarity index measure, peak signal-to-noise ratio and KL divergence are used to quantitatively analyze the performance of our method. Our results demonstrate significant improvements in image quality of single PW acquisitions, highly reducing artifacts.

Authors: Yu Lei , Zhang Le , Wang Lili , Jia Zhenyu
Published: August 2023

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) emerges as a powerful tool for detecting structural variations (SVs) in genomes. However, different SV callers can produce variable results due to the distinct rationale and sensitivity of pipelines, highlighting the need for effective tools to compare and merge results from multiple callers. Here, we developed an R package, structural variants integration and visualization, to facilitate the integration, classification, and visualization of SV results from multiple callers, allowing for accurate identification of the most reliable SVs. Our package relies on a complex translocation projection and clustering method, enabling the projection of each translation to a point in a Cartesian coordinate system and visualization of SVs at both whole-genome and individual chromosome levels. Thus, our approach provides a valuable framework for analyzing SVs from WGS data, improving the accuracy and efficiency of SV detection, and enhancing the potential of WGS for clinical and research applications.

In the 21st century, there has been a steady increase in cognitive impairment associated with an increase in the life expectancy of the population, which is of great medical and socio-economic importance. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. Some of the most common types of MCI are amnestic MCI (aMCI) and subcortical vascular MCI (svMCI). Identification of patterns of subfields of the hippocampal formation can improve the differential diagnosis of MCI of various genesis.

Keep your finger on the pulse: Better rate perception and gap detection with vibrotactile compared to visual stimuli
Authors: Villalonga Mercedes B. , Sekuler Robert
Published: August 2023

Important characteristics of the environment can be represented in the temporal pattern of sensory stimulation. In two experiments, we compared accuracy of temporal processing by different modalities. Experiment 1 examined binary categorization of rate for visual (V) or vibrotactile (T) stimulus pulses presented at either 4 or 6 Hz. Inter-pulse intervals were either constant or variable, perturbed by random Gaussian variates. Subjects categorized the rate of T pulse sequences more accurately than V sequences. In V conditions only, subjects disproportionately tended to mis-categorize 4-Hz pulse rates, for all but the most variable sequences. In Experiment 2, we compared gap detection thresholds across modalities, using the same V and T pulses from Experiment 1, as well as with bimodal (VT) pulses. Visual gap detection thresholds were larger (3$$\times $$
×
) than tactile thresholds. Additionally, performance with VT stimuli seemed to be nearly completely dominated by their T components. Together, these results suggest (i) that vibrotactile temporal acuity surpasses visual temporal acuity, and (ii) that vibrotactile stimulation has considerable, untapped potential to convey temporal information like that needed for eyes-free alerting signals.

The Political Ecology of Rural Community Ponds in Kerala, India
Authors: Sankar Vinay
Published: August 2023

Inequities in access to water across economic classes and social groups have been aggravated by the commodification of ecosystems. Institutional governance of small freshwater bodies, like ponds, is under tremendous stress and often cannot cope with increasing pressures from market forces and state interventions. Recently conceptualized as a “composite resource”, ponds are vital entities in the ecological, economic, and socio-political landscape. The central objective of this study is to understand the access and utilization patterns of rural community ponds in Kerala, India, by employing a survey method. I attempt to integrate the literature on commons and political ecology, review the institutional arrangements governing rural public ponds, assess their ecological health, and situate the empirical evidence in a theoretical framework of the commons. I find universal access to these water bodies, which cuts across social and economic groups, for domestic uses such as drinking, bathing, washing, and cleaning; this utilization has a class and gender dimension. A majority of the surveyed ponds showed signs of robust ecological health in terms of total dissolved solids and pH values, functional embankments, and the absence of any polluting economic activity in their vicinity...

La epilepsia es una enfermedad crónica del sistema nervioso central (SNC) con diversidad de presentaciones Una crisis convulsiva (CC) es un evento autolimitado, de origen cerebral, que resulta de la descarga anormal y excesiva de una población neuronal, con manifestaciones clínicas variadas, de inicio y finalización generalmente súbitos(Eslava, 2006).  Con el objetivo de proporcionar un monitoreo efectivo para pacientes diagnosticados con crisis epilépticas tónico-clónico, se ha desarrollado un dispositivo especializado en la detección de parámetros fisiológicos como el pulso cardíaco, la temperatura y la posición del paciente. Además, cuenta con un sensor que detecta la actividad muscular en el bíceps braquial. El dispositivo está diseñado específicamente para este tipo de padecimiento. Las crisis epilépticas tónico-clónicas se manifiestan inicialmente con un aumento de tono muscular y sacudidas rítmicas de las extremidades, y duran unos pocos minutos (CDC,2020). Cuando los parámetros fisiológicos medidos están fuera del rango permitido por los sensores, el dispositivo emitirá una alerta visual, indicando el inicio de una crisis epiléptica. En ese momento, se enviará una notificación a un familiar o cuidador del paciente, para brindar la asistencia necesaria. Se espera que el dispositivo ayude a que la atención sea más precisa y personalizada, mejorando la calidad de vida y brindando mayor tranquilidad al paciente, su entorno familiar y cuidadores.

Methanol Formation through Reaction of Low-energy CH3
+ Ions with an Amorphous Solid Water Surface at Low Temperature

We have performed experimental investigations of methanol formation via the reactions of low-energy CH3
+ ions with an amorphous solid water (ASW) surface at ∼10 K. A newly developed experimental apparatus enabled irradiation of the ASW surface by several eV ions and detection of trace amounts of reaction products on the surface. It was found that methanol molecules were produced by low-energy CH3
+ irradiation of the ASW surface and that hydroxy groups in the produced methanol originated from water molecules in the ASW, as predicted in a previous theoretical study. Little temperature dependence of the observed methanol intensity is apparent in the temperature range 12–60 K. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations under constant-temperature conditions of 10 K suggested that this reaction spontaneously produced a methanol molecule and an H3O+ ion, regardless of the contact point of CH3
+ on the ASW surface. We have performed a simulation with an astrochemical model under molecular-cloud conditions, where the reaction between CH3
+ and H2O ice, leading to methanol formation, was included. We found that the impact of the reaction on methanol abundance was limited only at the edge of the molecular cloud (<1 mag) because of the low abundance of CH3
+ in the gas phase, whereas the reaction between the abundant molecular ion (HCO+) and H2O ice, which has not yet been confirmed experimentally, can considerably affect the abundance of a complex organic molecule. This work sheds light on a new type of reaction between molecular ions and ice surfaces that should be included in astrochemical models.
