An Efficient Network Resource Management in SDN for Cloud Services
Authors: Jeon Myunghoon , Kim Namgi , Jang Yehoon , Lee Byoung-Dai
Published: September 2020

With the recent advancements in cloud computing technology, the number of cloud-based services has been gradually increasing. Symmetrically, users are asking for quality of experience (QoE) to be maintained or improved. To do this, it has become necessary to manage network resources more efficiently inside the cloud. Many theoretical studies for improving the users’ QoE have been proposed. However, there are few practical solutions due to the lack of symmetry between implementation and theoretical researches. Hence, in this study, we propose a ranking table-based network resource allocation method that dynamically allocates network resources per service flow based on flow information periodically collected from a software defined network (SDN). It dynamically identifies the size of the data transmission for each service flow on the SDN and differentially allocates network resources to each service flow based on this size. As a result, it maintains the maximum QoE for the user by increasing the network utilization. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 29.4% higher network efficiency than the general Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) method on average.

Published: September 2020

In this paper, we develop the notion of the basis for a smooth neutrosophic topology in a more natural way. As a sequel, we define the notion of symmetric neutrosophic quasi-coincident neighborhood systems and prove some interesting results that fit with the classical ones, to establish the consistency of theory developed. Finally, we define and discuss the concept of product topology, in this context, using the definition of basis.

Authors: Reyes Elia , Castro M. Ángeles , Sirvent Antonio , Rodríguez Francisco
Published: September 2020

In this work, we obtain exact solutions and continuous numerical approximations for mixed problems of coupled systems of diffusion equations with delay. Using the method of separation of variables, and based on an explicit expression for the solution of the separated vector initial-value delay problem, we obtain exact infinite series solutions that can be truncated to provide analytical–numerical solutions with prescribed accuracy in bounded domains. Although usually implicit in particular applications, the method of separation of variables is deeply correlated with symmetry ideas.
Reduction of Aflatoxin B1 in Corn by Water-Assisted Microwaves Treatment and Its Effects on Corn Quality
Authors: Zhang Yaolei , Li Mengmeng , Liu Yuanxiao , Guan Erqi , Bian Ke
Published: September 2020

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most commonly found mycotoxin in corn, which is highly toxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic for the health of humans and animals. In order to reduce the AFB1 in corn, corn kernels were processed with Water-assisted Microwaves Treatment (WMT) and the feasibility of WMT processing on AFB1 reduction and its effects on corn quality were analyzed. Increasing the treatment time and microwave power could increase the reduction of AFB1, and the maximum reduction rate could reach 58.6% and 56.8%, respectively. There was no significant correlation between the initial concentration of AFB1 and the reduction rate of AFB1. During WMT, the main toxigenic molds were sterilized completely, and the moisture content of corn climbed up and then declined to the initial level. WMT could obviously increase the fatty acid value and pasting temperature of corn and reduce the all paste viscosity of corn. However, it had little effect on the color of corn. The results indicated that WMT could reduce AFB1 effectively and avoid the vast appearance of heat-damaged kernels simultaneously. Undoubtedly, water played an important role in WMT. This result provides a new idea for the reduction of AFB1 by microwave.

Published: September 2020

In modern vaccines, adjuvants can be sophisticated immunological tools to promote robust and long-lasting protection against prevalent diseases. However, there is an urgent need to improve immunogenicity of vaccines in order to protect mankind from life-threatening diseases such as AIDS, malaria or, most recently, COVID-19. Therefore, it is important to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action of vaccine adjuvants, which generally trigger the innate immune system to enhance signal transition to adaptive immunity, resulting in pathogen-specific protection. Thus, improved understanding of vaccine adjuvant mechanisms may aid in the design of “intelligent” vaccines to provide robust protection from pathogens. Various commonly used clinical adjuvants, such as aluminium salts, saponins or emulsions, have been identified as activators of inflammasomes - multiprotein signalling platforms that drive activation of inflammatory caspases, resulting in secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines of the IL-1 family. Importantly, these cytokines affect the cellular and humoral arms of adaptive immunity, which indicates that inflammasomes represent a valuable target of vaccine adjuvants. In this review, we highlight the impact of different inflammasomes on vaccine adjuvant-induced immune responses regarding their mechanisms and immunogenicity. In this context, we focus on clinically relevant adjuvants that have been shown to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and also present various experimental adjuvants that activate the NLRP3-, NLRC4-, AIM2-, pyrin-, or non-canonical inflammasomes and could have the potential to improve future vaccines. Together, we provide a comprehensive overview on vaccine adjuvants that are known, or suggested, to promote immunogenicity through inflammasome-mediated signalling.
Identifying Sources of Potential Bias When Using Online Survey Data to Explore Horse Training, Management, and Behaviour: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Fenner Kate , Hyde Michelle , Crean Angela , McGreevy Paul
Published: September 2020

Owner-reported behavioural observations form an essential part of the veterinarians’ diagnosis and treatment plan. The way we train and manage horses affects their behaviour and, in turn, their health and welfare. Current horse training and management practices are largely driven by traditional techniques and longstanding methodologies. These approaches generally lack an evidence base for evaluation purposes. The absence of evidence and evaluation contributes to the persistent use of risky practices and this, in turn, increases risk of potential harms for both horse and rider, and fuels questioning of the equine industry’s current social license to operate. Objective evidence is required to make training and management decisions based on demonstrable best practice. Large-scale experimental or intervention studies using horses are generally not practical because of the associated costs and logistics of gaining ethical approval. Small studies generally lack statistical power and are subject to the effects of many forms of bias that demand caution in the interpretation of any observed effects. An alternative to collecting large amounts of empirical data is the use of owner-reported observations via online survey. Horse owners are ideally placed to report on the domestic equine triad of training, management, and behaviour. The current article highlights three sources of potential bias in a systematic review of literature on large-scale online studies of horse owners’ observational reports that met the following selection criteria: English-language, published, peer-reviewed articles reporting on studies with over 1000 respondents and open access to the survey instrument. The online surveys were evaluated for three common forms of bias: recall, confirmation, and sampling bias. This review reveals that online surveys are useful for gathering data on the triad of horse training, management, and behaviour. However, current use of online surveys to collect data on equitation science (including horse training, management, and behaviour) could be improved by using a standardised and validated tool. Such a tool would facilitate comparisons among equine and equitation science studies, thus advancing our understanding of the impacts of training and management on horse behaviour. The authors of the current review suggest the use of a standardised behavioural and management assessment tool for horses. Such a tool would help define what constitutes normal behaviour within geographically disparate populations of horses, leading to improvements in rider safety and horse welfare.

Published: September 2020

Improving the accuracy of rainfall forecasting is relevant for adequate water resources planning and management. This research project evaluated the performance of the combination of three Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) approaches in the forecasting of the monthly rainfall anomalies for Southwestern Colombia. For this purpose, we applied the Non-linear Principal Component Analysis (NLPCA) approach to get the main modes, a Neural Network Autoregressive Moving Average with eXogenous variables (NNARMAX) as a model, and an Inverse NLPCA approach for reconstructing the monthly rainfall anomalies forecasting in the Andean Region (AR) and the Pacific Region (PR) of Southwestern Colombia, respectively. For the model, we used monthly rainfall lagged values of the eight large-scale climate indices linked to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon as exogenous variables. They were cross-correlated with the main modes of the rainfall variability of AR and PR obtained using NLPCA. Subsequently, both NNARMAX models were trained from 1983 to 2014 and tested for two years (2015–2016). Finally, the reconstructed outputs from the NNARMAX models were used as inputs for the Inverse NLPCA approach. The performance of the ANN approaches was measured using three different performance metrics: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Pearson’s correlation (r). The results showed suitable forecasting performance for AR and PR, and the combination of these ANN approaches demonstrated the possibility of rainfall forecasting in these sub-regions five months in advance and provided useful information for the decision-makers in Southwestern Colombia.
Where Does the Chilean Aconcagua River Come from? Use of Natural Tracers for Water Genesis Characterization in Glacial and Periglacial Environments
Authors: Crespo Sebastián , Lavergne Céline , Fernandoy Francisco , Muñoz Ariel , Cara Leandro , Olfos-Vargas Simón
Published: September 2020

The Aconcagua river basin (Chile, 32 °S) has suffered the effects of the megadrought over the last decade. The severe snowfall deficiency drastically modified the water supply to the catchment headwaters. Despite the recognized snowmelt contribution to the basin, an unknown streamflow buffering effect is produced by glacial, periglacial and groundwater inputs, especially in dry periods. Hence, each type of water source was characterized and quantified for each season, through the combination of stable isotope and ionic analyses as natural water tracers. The δ18O and electric conductivity were identified as the key parameters for the differentiation of each water source. The use of these parameters in the stable isotope mixing “simmr” model revealed that snowmelt input accounted 52% in spring and only 22–36% during the rest of the year in the headwaters. While glacial supply contributed up to 34%, both groundwater and periglacial exhibited a remarkable contribution around 20% with some seasonal variations. Downstream, glacial contribution averaged 15–20%, groundwater seasonally increased up to 46%, and periglacial input was surprisingly high (i.e., 14–21%). The different water sources contribution quantification over time for the Aconcagua River reported in this work provides key information for water security in this territory.
Analysis of Competitive Forces Acting on European Automotive Industry (by M. Porter)
Authors: Baronina Yu.A.
Published: September 2020

The article analyzes the current state of competition in the European automotive industry using the method of assessing competitive forces developed by M. Porter. In the process, the main indicators of the largest automobile concerns were analyzed, the capabilities of automobile companies from developing countries in the European market were assessed, the dynamics of the development of car sharing services were examined, the features of the interaction of companies with suppliers of automotive components and consumers of final products were shown. The article presents three basic options for a strategy that automobile multinationals can resort to in order to counter existing competitive forces.
Based on the results of the analysis, the author concludes that the competition that European automotive TNCs make up each other, as well as their dependence on buyers and suppliers, play a major role in the formation of competitive strategies. Despite the fact that the emergence of substitute services was also reflected in the new companies’ strategies, they became a catalyst for development rather than a threat. In the near future, the Chinese companies will not be able to win a significant share in such a competitive market as the European one, so the appearance of new competitors can be estimated as insignificant.

Authors:   , Jiménez Macías Julyleth Paola
Published: September 2020

Este trabajo de Tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo general diseñar y desarrolar a escala de laboratorio sistemas de producción eficiente y sustentable de materiales orgánicos (moléculas pequeñas) con características aceptoras fuertes de electrones, y estudiar las propiedades químicas, electroquímicas y térmicas de los materiales orgánicos preparados. Se pretende obtener compuestos estables en el ambiente y térmicamente, que sean reducidos en zonas de potenciales fácilmente accesibles, que generen iones-radicales estables en condiciones ambientales, es decir frente al agua y al oxígeno. Se aspira que los sistemas compuesto/especie reducida presenten una estabilidad química y propiedades adecuadas para el desarrollo de nuevos materiales para aplicaciones tecnológicas, en especial para dispositivos electrónicos orgánicos. Se preparan compuestos que pueden agruparse en tres familias diferentes de compuestos orgánicos. En primera instancia, se sintetizan quinonas derivadas de 9,10-fenantrenoquinona (FQ) que contienen en su composición átomos de halógenos (I y Br) atrayentes de electrones. Estas orto-quinonas sustituidas presentan ciertas características convenientes como para ser empleadas como semiconductores orgánicos tipo-n, y además son los precursores de las dos otras familias de compuestos preparados en este trabajo. Por un lado la familia de tiadiazoles, en particular derivados halogenados de fenantro[9,10-c]1,2,5-tiadiazol 1,1-dióxido (Tr) y por otro la familia de las fenazinas, específicamente derivados halogenados y/o nitrados de dibenzo[a,c]fenazina (DBF). El trabajo incluye aspectos sintéticos que permiten obtener compuestos nuevos y otros previamente publicados en la literatura. Para tal fin se proponen nuevas rutas de síntesis limpias, en algunos casos con excelentes rendimientos molares de producto y en otros con rendimiento inferior a los obtenidos por los procedimientos conocidos. Se miden propiedades no publicadas previamente en la literatura de los compuestos conocidos y se determinan propiedades de los compuestos nuevos. Las propiedades características medidas son por un lado de utilidad para determinar la identidad de los nuevos compuestos, y por otro de interés en la búsqueda de nuevos semiconductores orgánicos (SCsOs) tipo-n.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho de um estimador geoestatístico para estimar a volumetria de um povoamento de eucalipto com 8 anos de idade considerando diferentes intensidades amostrais. A base de dados foi proveniente de inventários florestais pré-corte. A intensidade amostral foi de uma parcela a cada 5 ha aproximadamente, totalizando 220 parcelas inventariadas em campo. Os dados foram divididos em dois grupos: 80% para ajuste dos semivariogramas e 20% para validação. Dentre os dados destinados aos ajustes, foram selecionadas parcelas que representassem quatro diferentes intensidades amostrais (1:5, 1:10, 1:15 e 1:20), e posteriormente, ajustados os modelos de semivariogramas. Os modelos foram então utilizados para estimar o volume das parcelas destinadas à validação. Os resultados permitiram inferir que o modelo esférico ajustado para as diferentes intensidades amostrais apresentou desempenho satisfatório e próximos entre si, com erros inferiores a 10 %. O menor valor foi apresentado na intensidade amostral de 1:5, 7,33 %, e o maior na intensidade de 1:20, 8,90 %, uma diferença de apenas 1,57 %. Assim sendo, foi possível concluir que o estimador geoestatístico permitiu a redução da intensidade amostral em inventários que antecedem o corte de povoamentos clonais de Eucalyptus, sem grandes perdas na precisão.
The role of interleukin-3 and its receptor in acute leukemia pathogenesis
Authors: Balzhanova Y. B. , Savchenko V. G.
Published: September 2020

Introduction.Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is the key cytokine involved in the regulation of normal haematopoiesis. Some leukemic cells demonstrate high expression of the α-subunit of the receptor for interleukin-3 (CD123).

Aim:to summarize the current understanding of IL-3 and its receptor CD123 in the pathogenesis of acute leukemia.

General fi ndings: IL-3 regulates the proliferation and differentiation of normal hematopoietic progenitor cells in the early stages of hematopoiesis. The IL-3 receptor (CD123) is expressed on normal hematopoietic cells. High expression of CD123 was confi rmed on blast cells of AML, B-ALL and on the leukemia-initiating CD34+ CD38– cells. IL-3 inhibits apoptosis and promotes the autonomous growth of blast cells. Currently, different approaches of blocking the IL-3 mediated signal are being investigated.

Motivation as an effort to arouse or encourage inmates to do something in order to achieve their goals. One form of the motive for the crime is done again, namely the lack of motivation in prisoners to repent. In this case the Penitentiary has the duty and responsibility in the successful implementation of guidance for inmates who have a variety of cases. The boarding school guidance program provided to inmates must be implemented, but prisoners who sit in the middle to back row do not pay attention to the explanation given by the speaker. Because he considered the boarding school program aims to fulfill the obligation only. From this problem, it is necessary to carry out activities to motivate prisoners to participate in the program voluntarily and seriously. This is done in order to be able to provide good skills and mindset for Prisoners so that they have attitudes and principles of life that are filled with goodness. As well as changing and shaping convicts for the better and returning to the right path and do not have the thought of returning to commit crimes. This research was conducted with qualitative research methods by distributing questionnaires to determine the results of increased motivation in prisoners. It can be concluded that increasing motivation in inmates following the boarding school program requires innovation and new ways.

Published: September 2020

Roasted and fried meats are the two commonest and preferred meat varieties consumed in northern Nigeria. The consumption of these meat varieties is, nevertheless, without ascertaining its fitness in terms of contamination by pathogens. In line with this occurrence and preference, it is a good approach to assess the quality of roasted and fried meat in one of the prehistoric towns of northern Nigeria, which is Gumel. A total of 10 samples of both fried and roasted meat were randomly collected, prepared and microbiological analyses for mesophilic bacteria, fungi and coliform group conducted in the laboratory. The mean bacterial load was observed between 3.0 x 104 and 6.5 x 104 CFU/g for roasted beef meat and 4.7 x 104 and 5.3 x 104 CFU/g for fried beef meat. It was 4.5 x 104 and 6.0 x 104 CFU/g in roasted chicken meat and 4.0 x 104 and 4.7 x 104 CFU/g in fried chicken meat. For the fungal load, it was observed to be between the range of 1.0 x 104 and 3.0 x 103 CFU/g for roasted beef meat and 1.0 x 104 and 7.0 x 103 CFU/g for fried beef meat. For the chicken meat, it ranges from 1.0 x 104 to 4.0 x 103 CFU/g for the roasted type and 1.0 x 104 and 7.0 x 103 CFU/g for the fried meat. Investigation of the coliform group showed no growth in both samples. On biochemical tests, bacterial species confirmed to be present were Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus spp, and Streptococcus spp. while Penicillium spp, Mucor hiemalis, Aspergillus species and Rhizopus spp. are the fungal species observed in the meats. This research was, therefore, conducted to assess the quality of roasted and fried meat sold in Gumel town to relate it to some common diseases affecting the community.
Masters of Illusion: Bank and Regulatory Accounting for Losses in Distressed Banks
Authors: Kane Edward J.
Published: September 2020

This essay is part of a larger work on the history of Federal Reserve policymaking entitled Banking on Bull. The study seeks to explain why the instruments of central banking inevitably break down over time. A big part of the explanation is that policymakers want accounting measures of bank net worth to be flexible enough to allow bankers and regulators to slow the release of adverse information about distressed banks, particularly very large ones. Modern regulatory frameworks focus on maintaining what can be described as the adequacy of accounting capital. But this framework is bull, because in tough times, bank accountants know how to make losses disappear.

Palembang fish crackers have a thick characteristic with a strong fishy aroma. Puffing of the thick fish cracker requires particular technique, for example the deep-frying techniques should use two different heating temperatures to obtain good quality of crackers. Another alternative method is to use heat from microwaves. One of the disadvantages of crackers that are processed with heat from the microwave is the easiness of the crackers lose its crispness. This study aimed to analyze the shelf-life of fish crackers puffed by microwave heat and deep-frying technique in some types of packaging. The research design was a factorial completely randomized design with two factors namely the type of packaging (polypropylene, nylon, metalized plastic) and type of crackers (microwaved and fried). Analysis of variance showed that all treatments have a significant effect on water content.  The indicator used for the prediction of shelf-life is water content. The water content changes during storage at room temperature for all treatments followed a first-order kinetic with the lowest k value for fish cracker packed in metalized plastic packaging with 57 days storage time (microwavable fish crackers) and 45 days (fried fish crackers)

Literacy is now beginning to become a discourse in various media, both print and social media. This happened since Anies Baswedan, when he was Minister of Education and Culture, launched the School Literacy Movement (GLS). Trends in global currents and the Indonesian economy are also entering the era of the creative industry revolution, an era of revolution that relies heavily on the products of the creative industries. Creative industries can be defined as industries based on expertise, talent and creativity; such as fashion, crafts, publishing (books and print media), music, film and advertising. Literary works and creative industries are both based on talent and creativity and are equally cultural. The difference is, the process of creating literary works is more oriented to the interests of the literary (literary), while the creative industry is more oriented to the interests of the market. Local Wisdom is considered so interesting to be the main topic raised in literacy development because through learning in the classroom, students will indirectly get to know the local wisdom of each region. This paper seeks to reveal the steps that can be taken so that the culture of literacy or GLS can still go hand in hand with the development of the existing creative industries. The method used is certainly descriptive and through a qualitative approach. In conclusion, the Indonesian literacy movement still needs to be promoted, and Indonesian language learning in tertiary institutions still needs to be improved, so that people become more proficient in Indonesian and continue to love Indonesian as a means of communication, cultural imaging, and strengthening the national identity. The low ability of students in the field of poetry indicates the need to empower poetry writing for students. This article aims to illustrate how to empower the literacy culture of students writing poetry in the face of the era of the creative industry revolution.
