Authors: Sadowska Urszula , Matwijczuk Arkadiusz , Niemczynowicz Agnieszka , Dróżdż Tomasz , Żabiński Andrzej
Published: July 2019

In the food industry, the pulsed electric field (PEF) technique is used to support the process of extraction of various substances. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of a number of PEF pulses applied to peppermint and caraway on both the content of essential oils (EO) and their spectroscopic properties. The examined herb species were placed in a special vessel in the working chamber of the device between two electrodes providing high voltage electric pulses. The pulses were delivered 0, 150, 250, and 350 times per a studied sample of each herb. Essential oils were then obtained by way of hydrodistillation. The infrared spectra for all samples were measured using an FTIR spectrometer in the spectral range of 3700–730 cm−1. The applied electric field of a predetermined number of pulses had no significant effect on the amount of distilled essential oil from caraway fruit, while in the case of peppermint, it caused a slight decrease in relation to the raw material not subjected to PEF exposure. It was found that the analysis of infrared spectra made it possible to compare the quality of the obtained oils with each other and to pre-determine their compositions.

Authors: Liang Kaixin , Yu Jinying , Wu Xin
Published: July 2019

Air-conditionings have energy storage functions. Through reasonable aggregation control, the output tracking can be implemented for wind power with stronger fluctuation to enhance its utilization rate. Cloud technology and intelligent appliances enable the appliance vendor to implement information interaction with the air-conditioning through cloud platforms to realize flexible regulation. In this paper, a management and control method of air-conditioning based on cloud platform is established. Based on this structure, the air-conditionings are divided into several aggregation groups according to the similarity of parameters, and each group completes the consumption task collaboratively. The consumption evaluation model of the air-conditioning group is established. On this basis, the allocation problem on consumption task for the aggregated group is constructed to implement the optimal solution under the condition of guaranteeing the degree of completion and user comfort. Each group implements the control for air-conditioning inside the group through the sliding mode control model. The simulation experiment verifies that the algorithm can effectively follow the output of clean energy, while intervening less in the air-conditioning operation.

Published: July 2019

The objective of this research is to adapt and validate a useful instrument to diagnose cyberbullying, provoked by intolerance towards cultural and religious diversity, identifying the profile of the aggressor and the victim. The study was carried out using the Delphi technique, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The selected sample was composed of 1478 adolescents, all students from Compulsory Secondary Education of Spain. The instrument items were extracted from relevant scales on the topic. The initial questionnaire was composed of 52 items and three underlying constructs. After validation with EFA (n = 723), the structure was checked, and the model was later corroborated with CFA (n = 755) through structural equations (RMSEA = 0.05, CFI = 0.826, TLI = 0.805). The reliability and internal consistency of the instrument were also tested, with values for all dimensions being higher than 0.8. It is concluded that this new questionnaire has 38 items and three dimensions. It has an acceptable validity and reliability, and can be used to diagnose cyberbullying caused by the non-acceptance of cultural and religious diversity in Compulsory Secondary Education students.
Online Strategy Clustering Based on Action Sequences in RoboCupSoccer Small Size League
Authors: Adachi Yusuke , Ito Masahide , Naruse Tadashi
Published: July 2019

This paper addresses a strategy learning problem in the RoboCupSoccer Small Size League (SSL). We propose a novel method based on action sequences to cluster an opponent’s strategies online. Our proposed method is composed of the following three steps: (1) extracting typical actions from geometric data to make action sequences, (2) calculating the dissimilarity of the sequences, and (3) clustering the sequences by using the dissimilarity. This method can reduce the amount of data used in the clustering process; handling action sequences instead of geometric data as data-set makes it easier to search actions. As a result, the proposed clustering method is online feasible and also is applicable to countering an opponent’s strategy. The effectiveness of the proposed method was validated by experimental results.
Comparing Deep Neural Networks, Ensemble Classifiers, and Support Vector Machine Algorithms for Object-Based Urban Land Use/Land Cover Classification
Authors: Jozdani Shahab Eddin , Johnson Brian Alan , Chen Dongmei
Published: July 2019

With the advent of high-spatial resolution (HSR) satellite imagery, urban land use/land cover (LULC) mapping has become one of the most popular applications in remote sensing. Due to the importance of context information (e.g., size/shape/texture) for classifying urban LULC features, Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) techniques are commonly employed for mapping urban areas. Regardless of adopting a pixel- or object-based framework, the selection of a suitable classifier is of critical importance for urban mapping. The popularity of deep learning (DL) (or deep neural networks (DNNs)) for image classification has recently skyrocketed, but it is still arguable if, or to what extent, DL methods can outperform other state-of-the art ensemble and/or Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithms in the context of urban LULC classification using GEOBIA. In this study, we carried out an experimental comparison among different architectures of DNNs (i.e., regular deep multilayer perceptron (MLP), regular autoencoder (RAE), sparse, autoencoder (SAE), variational autoencoder (AE), convolutional neural networks (CNN)), common ensemble algorithms (Random Forests (RF), Bagging Trees (BT), Gradient Boosting Trees (GB), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB)), and SVM to investigate their potential for urban mapping using a GEOBIA approach. We tested the classifiers on two RS images (with spatial resolutions of 30 cm and 50 cm). Based on our experiments, we drew three main conclusions: First, we found that the MLP model was the most accurate classifier. Second, unsupervised pretraining with the use of autoencoders led to no improvement in the classification result. In addition, the small difference in the classification accuracies of MLP from those of other models like SVM, GB, and XGB classifiers demonstrated that other state-of-the-art machine learning classifiers are still versatile enough to handle mapping of complex landscapes. Finally, the experiments showed that the integration of CNN and GEOBIA could not lead to more accurate results than the other classifiers applied.

Authors: Rebelo Carla , Rodrigues António Manuel , Tenedório José António
Published: July 2019

Multi-temporal analysis of census small-area microdata is hampered by the fact that census tract shapes do not often coincide between census exercises. Dasymetric mapping techniques provide a workaround that is nonetheless highly dependent on the quality of ancillary data. The objectives of this work are to: (1) Compare the use of three spatial techniques for the estimation of population according to census tracts: Areal interpolation and dasymetric mapping using control data—building block area (2D) and volume (3D); (2) demonstrate the potential of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology for the acquisition of control data; (3) perform a sensitivity analysis using Monte Carlo simulations showing the effect of changes in building block volume (3D information) in population estimates. The control data were extracted by a (semi)-automatic solution—3DEBP (3D extraction building parameters) developed using free open source software (FOSS) tools. The results highlight the relevance of 3D for the dasymetric mapping exercise, especially if the variations in height between building blocks are significant. Using low-cost UAV backed systems with a FOSS-only computing framework also proved to be a competent solution with a large scope of potential applications.

Authors: Leanza Antonio , Manzoni Marco , Monti-Guarnieri Andrea , di Clemente Marco
Published: July 2019

This paper proposes a statistical model to evaluate the impact of the signal backscattered by low Earth orbiting (LEO) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and received by GEO-stationary orbiting SAR. The model properly accounts for the bistatic backscatter, the number of LEO-SAR satellites and their duty cycles. The presence of many sun-synchronous, dawn-dusk satellites creates a 24 h periodic pattern in interference that should be considered in the acquisition plan of future geostationary SAR. The model, implemented by a numerical simulator, allows also the prediction of performance in future scenarios of many LEO-SAR. Examples and evaluations are made here for X band.

Published: July 2019

Grain protein content (GPC) is an important indicator of wheat quality. Earlier estimation of wheat GPC based on remote sensing provided effective decision to adapt optimized strategies for grain harvest, which is of great significance for agricultural production. The objectives of this field study are: (i) To assess the ability of spectral vegetation indices (VIs) of Sentinel 2 data to detect the wheat nitrogen (N) attributes related to the grain quality of winter wheat production, and (ii) to examine the accuracy of wheat N status and GPC estimation models based on different VIs and wheat nitrogen parameters across Analytical Spectra Devices (ASD) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) hyper-spectral data-simulated sentinel data and the real Sentinel-2 data. In this study, four nitrogen parameters at the wheat anthesis stage, including plant nitrogen accumulation (PNA), plant nitrogen content (PNC), leaf nitrogen accumulation (LNA), and leaf nitrogen content (LNC), were evaluated for their relationship between spectral parameters and GPC. Then, a multivariate linear regression method was used to establish the wheat nitrogen and GPC estimation model through simulated Sentinel-2A VIs. The coefficients of determination ( R 2 ) of four nitrogen parameter models were all greater than 0.7. The minimum R 2 of the prediction model of wheat GPC constructed by four nitrogen parameters combined with VIs was 0.428 and the highest R 2 was 0.467. The normalized root mean square error (nRMSE) of the four nitrogen estimation models ranged from 26.333% to 29.530% when verified by the ground-measured data collected from the Beijing suburbs, and the corresponding nRMSE for the GPC-predicted models ranged from 17.457% to 52.518%. The accuracy of the estimated model was verified by UAV hyper-spectral data which had resized to different spatial resolution collected from the National Experimental Station for Precision Agriculture. The normalized root mean square error (nRMSE) of the four nitrogen estimation models ranged from 16.9% to 37.8%, and the corresponding nRMSE for the GPC-predicted models ranged from 12.3% to 13.2%. The relevant models were also verified by Sentinel-2A data collected in 2018 while the minimum nRMSE for GPC invert model based on PNA was 7.89% and the maximum nRMSE of the GPC model based on LNC was 12.46% in Renqiu district, Hebei province. The nRMSE for the wheat nitrogen estimation model ranged from 23.200% to 42.790% for LNC and PNC. These data demonstrate that freely available Sentinel-2 imagery can be used as an important data source for wheat nutrition and grain quality monitoring.
Automatic Vector-Based Road Structure Mapping Using Multibeam LiDAR
Authors: Zhao Junqiao , He Xudong , Li Jun , Feng Tiantian , Ye Chen , Xiong Lu
Published: July 2019

The high-definition map (HD-map) of road structures is crucial for the safe planning and control of autonomous vehicles. However, generating and updating such maps requires intensive manual work. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is able to automatically build and update a map of the environment. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of SLAM method for generating vector-based road structure maps. In this paper, we propose a vector-based SLAM method for the road structure mapping using vehicle-mounted multibeam LiDAR. We propose using polylines as the primary mapping element instead of grid maps or point clouds because the vector-based representation is lightweight and precise. We explored the following: (1) the extraction and vectorization of road structures based on multiframe probabilistic fusion; (2) the efficient vector-based matching between frames of road structures; (3) the loop closure and optimization based on the pose-graph; and (4) the global reconstruction of the vector map. One specific road structure, the road boundary, is taken as an example. We applied the proposed mapping method to three road scenes, ranging from hundreds of meters to over ten kilometers and the results are automatically generated vector-based road boundary maps. The average absolute pose error of the trajectory in the mapping is 1.83 m without the aid of high-precision GPS.
Mapping Hydrothermal Zoning Pattern of Porphyry Cu Deposit Using Absorption Feature Parameters Calculated from ASTER Data
Authors: Wu Mengjuan , Zhou Kefa , Wang Quan , Wang Jinlin
Published: July 2019

Identifying hydrothermal zoning pattern associated with porphyry copper deposit is important for indicating its economic potential. Traditional approaches like systematic sampling and conventional geological mapping are time-consuming and labor extensive, and with limitations for providing small scale information. Recent developments suggest that remote sensing is a powerful tool for mapping and interpreting the spatial pattern of porphyry Cu deposit. In this study, we integrated in situ spectral measurement taken at the Yudai copper deposit in the Kalatag district, northwestern China, information obtained by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), as well as the spectra of samples (hand-specimen) measured using an Analytical Spectral Device (ASD) FieldSpec4 high-resolution spectrometer in laboratory, to map the hydrothermal zoning pattern of the copper deposit. Results proved that the common statistical approaches, such as relative band depth and Principle Component Analysis (PCA), were unable to identify the pattern accurately. To address the difficulty, we introduced a curve-fitting technique for ASTER shortwave infrared data to simulate Al(OH)-bearing, Fe/Mg(OH)-bearing, and carbonate minerals absorption features, respectively. The results indicate that the absorption feature parameters can effectively locate the ore body inside the research region, suggesting the absorption feature parameters have great potentials to delineate hydrothermal zoning pattern of porphyry Cu deposit. We foresee the method being widely used in the future.

Published: July 2019

The evaluation of meat and fish quality is crucial to ensure that products are safe and meet the consumers’ expectation. The present work aims at developing a new low-cost, portable, and simplified electronic nose system, named Mastersense, to assess meat and fish freshness. Four metal oxide semiconductor sensors were selected by principal component analysis and were inserted in an “ad hoc” designed measuring chamber. The Mastersense system was used to test beef and poultry slices, and plaice and salmon fillets during their shelf life at 4 °C, from the day of packaging and beyond the expiration date. The same samples were tested for Total Viable Count, and the microbial results were used to define freshness classes to develop classification models by the K-Nearest Neighbours’ algorithm and Partial Least Square–Discriminant Analysis. All the obtained models gave global sensitivity and specificity with prediction higher than 83.3% and 84.0%, respectively. Moreover, a McNemar’s test was performed to compare the prediction ability of the two classification algorithms, which resulted in comparable values (p > 0.05). Thus, the Mastersense prototype implemented with the K-Nearest Neighbours’ model is considered the most convenient strategy to assess meat and fish freshness.
Also the Urban Poor Live in Gated Communities: A Bangkok Case Study
Authors: Boonjubun Chaitawat
Published: July 2019

Gated communities, one of those originally Western developments, have suddenly been found in cities in the Global South. “Gated communities”, often defined on the basis of their physical form, have been criticized for disconnecting residents from their neighbors outside the gates and reducing social encounters between them. Focusing on cities in the Global South, a large body of research on social encounters between the residents of gated communities and others outside has used case studies of the middle class living in gated communities versus the poor living outside in slums, squats, or public housing. The assumption that gated communities are regarded as enclosed residential spaces exclusively for the middle class, while the poor are found solely in “informal” settlements, may have an effect of stigmatizing the poor and deepening class divisions. It is rare to find studies that take into account the possibility that there also exist gated communities in which the poor are residents. This article examines who the residents of gated communities are, and at the same time analyzes the extent to which people living in gated communities socialize with others living outside. Based on the results of qualitative research in Bangkok, Thailand, in particular, the article critically studies enclosed high-rise housing estates and shows the following: Walls and security measures have become standard features in new residential developments; not only the upper classes, but also the poor live in gated communities; the amenities which gated communities provide are available to outsiders as well; and residents living in gated communities do not isolate themselves inside the walls but seek contact and socialize with outsiders. This article argues that the Western concept of “gated communities” needs to be tested and contextualized in the study of cities in the Global South.
Stability Charts for Sustainable Infrastructure: Collapse Loads of Footings on Sandy Soil with Voids
Authors: Lee Joon Kyu , Kim Jaehong
Published: July 2019

The presence of underground voids in regions suitable for sustainable development can adversely affect the stability of the overlying infrastructures. In this paper, the collapse loads of strip rigid footings resting on sand with single and double continuous voids are determined for a frictional Mohr-Coulomb material following the non-associated flow rule. For use by practitioners, design charts are proposed to evaluate the well-known bearing capacity factor Nγ as a function of the dimensionless parameters related to the vertical and horizontal void distances from the footing, void shape, and spacing between the two voids, as well as the soil friction angle. The computational result compares quite favorably with the available theoretical and numerical solutions. The failure mechanism is broadly discussed based on the pattern of soil displacement around the footing and void.
The Dual α-Amidation System in Scorpion Venom Glands
Authors: Delgado-Prudencio Gustavo , Possani Lourival D. , Becerril Baltazar , Ortiz Ernesto
Published: July 2019

Many peptides in scorpion venoms are amidated at their C-termini. This post-translational modification is paramount for the correct biological function of ion channel toxins and antimicrobial peptides, among others. The discovery of canonical amidation sequences in transcriptome-derived scorpion proproteins suggests that a conserved enzymatic α-amidation system must be responsible for this modification of scorpion peptides. A transcriptomic approach was employed to identify sequences putatively encoding enzymes of the α-amidation pathway. A dual enzymatic α-amidation system was found, consisting of the membrane-anchored, bifunctional, peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) and its paralogs, soluble monofunctional peptidylglycine α-hydroxylating monooxygenase (PHMm) and peptidyl-α-hydroxyglycine α-amidating lyase (PALm). Independent genes encode these three enzymes. Amino acid residues responsible for ion coordination and enzymatic activity are conserved in these sequences, suggesting that the enzymes are functional. Potential endoproteolytic recognition sites for proprotein convertases in the PAM sequence indicate that PAM-derived soluble isoforms may also be expressed. Sequences potentially encoding proprotein convertases (PC1 and PC2), carboxypeptidase E (CPE), and other enzymes of the α-amidation pathway, were also found, confirming the presence of this pathway in scorpions.
Grasping Discriminates between Object Sizes Less Not More Accurately than the Perceptual System
Authors: Göhringer Frederic , Löhr-Limpens Miriam , Hesse Constanze , Schenk Thomas
Published: July 2019

Ganel, Freud, Chajut, and Algom (2012) demonstrated that maximum grip apertures (MGAs) differ significantly when grasping perceptually identical objects. From this finding they concluded that the visual size information used by the motor system is more accurate than the visual size information available to the perceptual system. A direct comparison between the accuracy in the perception and the action system is, however, problematic, given that accuracy in the perceptual task is measured using a dichotomous variable, while accuracy in the visuomotor task is determined using a continuous variable. We addressed this problem by dichotomizing the visuomotor measures. Using this approach, our results show that size discrimination in grasping is in fact inferior to perceptual discrimination therefore contradicting the original suggestion put forward by Ganel and colleagues.
Modelling Actual and Future Seawater Intrusion in the Variconi Coastal Wetland (Italy) Due to Climate and Landscape Changes
Authors: Mastrocicco Micòl , Busico Gianluigi , Colombani Nicolò , Vigliotti Marco , Ruberti Daniela
Published: July 2019

Coastal freshwater resources are commonly under high risk of being contaminated from seawater. The main processes that affect seawater intrusion are groundwater overexploitation, land use change, and climate change effects. In this context coastal lagoons represent the more sensitive environments prone to seawater intrusion. Numerical modelling is a useful tool to understand and predict seawater intrusion. In this study, a three-dimensional SEAWAT model is employed to simulate the seawater intrusion to coastal aquifers of Variconi Oasis (Italy). The present simulation was divided into a calibration and a validation model, then the model was used to predict the salinization trend up to 2050. Results show the role of the sea in salinizing the beach front, while the retrodunal environment is characterized by transitional environments. Future seawater intrusion scenarios considering only climate data showed no significative differences in respect to the actual situation. The same happens considering also a low sea level rise prediction. On the contrary, the worst scenario (high sea level rise prediction), depicts a quite different situation, with a saline intrusion in the Variconi oasis that will severely affect the fragile transitional ecosystem. This modelling framework can be used to quantify the effects of climate changes in similar coastal environments.
THE ACTIVE METHOD OF CONTROL THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF BUILDING MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS
Authors: Карпов Д. , Karpov Denis
Published: July 2019

Thermal control refers to non-destructive testing methods. There are passive and active thermal non-destructive testing. With passive thermal control, the test object is characterized by a temperature field formed during its operation. With active thermal control, an additional source of thermal stimulation of the controlled object is used. Thermal control is widely used in various sectors of construction, energy, engineering and transport. The paper proposes a variant of active thermal non-destructive control of thermal conductivity coefficient of building materials and products on the example of a fragment of a building structure made of silicate bricks. The controlled object is subjected to thermal stimulation by an external source of thermal energy until the fixed thermal regime. Thermography of the test object surfaces is performed. The average values of surfaces temperature or individual sections of controlled object are calculated. The heat equation determines a controlled parameter - the heat coefficient of the object under control. The thermal resistance (heat transfer resistance) of the controlled object is calculated with a known coefficient of thermal conductivity. The heat transfer coefficient is calculated with a known coefficient of thermal resistance (heat transfer resistance). The method is implemented in the laboratory. It can be used in field and operating conditions for accurate and rapid determination of the key thermal properties of building materials and products.

Authors: Bretesche Thibault
Published: July 2019

Le règlement (UE) n° 1143/ 2014 du 22 octobre 2014 est une importante contribution à l’harmonisation au niveau communautaire de la réglementation relative à la prévention et à la gestion de l’introduction et de la propagation des espèces exotiques envahissantes (EEE). Le nouveau règlement place, de manière restrictive mais pragmatique, un système de liste positive «d’espèces exotiques envahissantes considérées comme préoccupantes pour l’Union » au coeur du dispositif. Il consacre également au niveau communautaire, l’approche hiérarchique en trois étapes (prévention, éradication, contrôle) promue de longue date par le droit international. Cette approche permet une gestion globale et intégrée des EEE. Il convient toutefois de déplorer l’absence de mécanisme financier spécifiquement dédiés à la mise en oeuvre d’un règlement ambitieux par ses mesures mais limité dans ses moyens.
Le droit bulgare de l’environnement et l’ardente nécessité d’une codification
Authors: Ilchev Konstantin
Published: July 2019

Le droit de l’environnement bulgare est une matière sensible, en plein développement. Depuis 1er janvier 2007, date d’entrée de la Bulgarie dans l’Union européenne (UE), une prolifération textuelle abonde les agendas parlementaires alors que le système politique peine encore à se stabiliser. C’est ainsi que la législation bulgare en matière d’environnement se construit par des textes divers et variés qui, de surcroît, se superposent et se contredisent. L’essentiel des mécanismes juridiques est inscrit dans la loi sur la protection de l’environnement, devenue le «fourre-tout législatif » alors que d’autres textes mettent en place des principes de régulation, de gestion et de gouvernance des éléments du capital naturel ou des activités en relation avec l’environnement. Pour autant, le régime juridique bulgare de l’environnement, en cours d’harmonisation avec le droit de l’UE, se caractérise par quelques particularités législatives comme la loi sur les organismes génétiquement modifiés, la loi sur les territoires protégés ou encore la loi sur la biodiversité.

Recibido: 19 de diciembre del 2018Aprobado: 01 de febrero del 2019Se analizan los perfiles gerenciales de las organizaciones vinculadas a un entorno dinámico, competitivo  bajo un clima de incertidumbre. La investigación  documental-descriptiva  refleja la teoría de las organizaciones, comportamientos y conductas resultado de la interacción entre los individuos de las mismas. Los perfiles  son alusivos a imágenes organizacionales con modos lineales y mecánicos de pensar, sentir y actuar. Así como, a organizaciones complejas que actúan en un entorno dinámico, cuyos mecanismos de actuación se basan en una gerencia creativa estratégica, reforzadora de un perfil axiológico que orienta sus procesos en el desarrollo humano. Finalmente, existen rasgos distintivos que actúan como catalizadores en ambientes complejos, con un andamiaje de roles, dada su estructura formal, y esta varía poco aunque cambien los individuos que los ejercen. Esta invariabilidad de los roles es la que distingue a una organización simple de una compleja, hacia el abordaje de los problemas que lo rodea.

Recibido: 20 de febrero del 2019Aprobado: 26 de abril del 2019  En este trabajo realizamos en un primer momento un análisis sobre orientaciones de la planeación educativa en el nivel superior desde la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Tecnología (UNESCO), la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) y la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE),  Se destaca cómo se han asumido estas directrices en las últimas décadas del siglo pasado y del presente, en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), haciendo énfasis en la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo (UACh). La información fue obtenida mediante la revisión de diversas fuentes de datos bibliográfico y de autores expertos en la temática de la planeación.  Posteriormente, hacemos una reflexión sobre la planeación universitaria y los sentidos de la praxis y práctica de ésta a fin de establecer escenarios que en corto, mediano y largo plazo la UACh, encauce su perfil institucional, sustentado en su carácter agronómico, gratuidad en la educación y congruente con la Ley que la crea.  En ese sentido se concluye que la docencia, investigación y vinculación, son las principales funciones que la UACh, debe afianzar a fin de preservar el modelo académico y posibilidad de dar educación gratuita a los jóvenes de escasos recursos económicos.
