A self-configured MANET has a set of wireless devices. With no prior administration, the Mobile Nodes (MNs) communicate via the wireless links. The limited bandwidth, transmission errors, dynamic topology, energy constraints, and link stability fluctuations lead to node mobility. The links between nodes are unreliable and might break on account of such node mobility. Link breakage leads to the rerouting process at the sender node (where the link breakage occurs) or Source Node (SN). This work proposed Link availability based routing protocol (LBRP) for MANET to attain load balancing via the Multi-Path (MP) communication. The traffic data could completely pass through parallel multiple paths, which enhances the protocol efficiency. On weighing against the existing routing protocols (RPs), the LBRP chiefly considers frequent link failures and unpredictable change in topology. The simulation outcomes validate the proposed LBRP. The LBRP performs well when contrasted to the DSR, ZRP, and AODV in all the experiments. This work would serve as the groundwork for examining and optimizing certain network protocols, and could help in designing algorithms for transport control and medium access.
Fuzzy Logic based Method for the Extraction of Extrinsic and Intrinsic Elements of Microwave Transistors
Authors:   Ph.D., Universidad Nacional de San Agustin de Arequipa, Rafael-Valdivia* Guillermo
Published: January 2020

In this paper we propose a new method for the extraction of extrinsic and intrinsic elements for microwave transistors based on a fuzzy logic architecture. The proposed technique uses the experience of the designer in order to extract and optimize in a smart way only the electrical elements required for an accurate multibias scattering parameters prediction. We tested our model with a GaAs MESFET 6 x 120 um and a Al GaAs P-HEMT 6 x 15 um device. It has been demonstrated that the proposed method is more accurate than the conventional one, evaluated with the previous technologies. The global behavior of the transconductance (gm) and gate to source capacitance (Cgs) measured with this technique agrees with the physical properties of the above mentioned technologies. Another advantage of this method is that the conventional “Cold-FET” configurations (Vds=0V) are not required, which warrant the reliability of the microwave transistor. The methodology presented in this work can be used in the RF circuit design industry as a first step for an accurate transistor characterization.

Weathering steels developed under the name COR-TEN steels, established themselves as a promising material to meet the demand for atmospheric corrosion resistance and eliminate the need for painting. COR-TEN steel is resistant to corrosive effect of weather such as rain, snow, ice, fog, etc. A coating of dark brown oxidation is developed over the metal surface, when it comes in contact with the environment thereby inhibiting the deeper penetration and negating the need for painting and reducing the rust-prevention cost over the years. Thus the steel is allowed to rust which forms a protective layer and slows down the rate of corrosion. The present study emphasizes the age hardening behavior of COR-TEN steel. The steel was subjected to solution treatment at 1000°C following accelerated cooling with water, oil and air. The oil quenched steel was then subjected to aging treatment at 400°C and 500°C for various times ranging from 5 min to 1500 min followed by water quenching. In order to ascertain the response to aging hardness measurement were conducted by employing a load of 20 Kgf. Metallographic examinations were also conducted to study the resulting structural transformations in various stages of investigations.

A new functional encryption method applied for integrated circuit (IC) is proposed in this paper which is called as hybrid obfuscation. The hardware obfuscation or encryption function is a countermeasures act utilized to provide safety of circuit from malware attack and unauthorized entry at the time of manufacture by the distrusted foundries across the world. The purpose of encryption is to design and embed secret keys for achieving functional modifications at the design space itself. Such keys are programmed suddenly inside the ICs when they are obtained from the factory. Since the distrusted factory doesn't approach the key, they can't dispose of the extra components of the chip which doesn't work effectively without the key. By joining existing procedures of obscurity known as fixed obfuscation and dynamic obfuscation, the half and half muddling strategy accomplish the objectives of an encryption function. The investigation of safety efforts proves that the functional encryption enhances the design security as contrasted with existing method. In addition, the proposed method decreases zone overhead by 40% and control overhead by 30% for a key length of 30 bits contrasted with the active obscurity.

Published: January 2020

Over 50% of the world population is at risk of mosquito-borne diseases. Female Ae. aegypti mosquito species transmit Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya. The spread of these diseases correlate positively with the vector population, and this population depends on biotic and abiotic environmental factors including temperature, vegetation condition, humidity and precipitation. To combat virus outbreaks, information about vector population is required. To this aim, Earth observation (EO) data provide fast, efficient and economically viable means to estimate environmental features of interest. In this work, we present a temporal distribution model for adult female Ae. aegypti mosquitoes based on the joint use of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, the Normalized Difference Water Index, the Land Surface Temperature (both at day and night time), along with the precipitation information, extracted from EO data. The model was applied separately to data obtained during three different vector control and field data collection condition regimes, and used to explain the differences in environmental variable contributions across these regimes. To this aim, a random forest (RF) regression technique and its nonlinear features importance ranking based on mean decrease impurity (MDI) were implemented. To prove the robustness of the proposed model, other machine learning techniques, including support vector regression, decision trees and k-nearest neighbor regression, as well as artificial neural networks, and statistical models such as the linear regression model and generalized linear model were also considered. Our results show that machine learning techniques perform better than linear statistical models for the task at hand, and RF performs best. By ranking the importance of all features based on MDI in RF and selecting the subset comprising the most
A Neighbor-Based Probabilistic Broadcast Protocol for Data Dissemination in Mobile IoT Networks
Authors: Liu Wei
Published: January 2020

The recent trend of implementing Internet of Things (IoT) applications is to transmit sensing data to a powerful data center, and try to discover the valuable knowledge behind ``Big Data'' by various intelligent but resource-consuming algorithms. However, from the discussion with some industrial companies, it is understood that disseminating real-time sensing data to their nearby network-edge-applications directly would produce a more economical design and lower service latency for some important smart city applications. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient broadcast protocol to disseminate data in mobile IoT networks. The proposed protocol exploits the neighbor knowledge of mobile nodes to determine a rebroadcast delay that prioritizes different packet broadcasts according to their profits. An adaptive connectivity factor is also introduced to make the proposed protocol adaptive to the node density of different network parts. By combining the neighbor knowledge of nodes and adaptive connectivity factor, a reasonable probability is calculated to determine whether a packet should be rebroadcasted to other nodes, or be discarded to prevent redundant packet broadcast. Extensive simulation results have validated that this protocol can improve the success ratio of packet delivery by 13% ~ 28% with a similar end-to-end transmission delay and network overhead of the most state-of-art approaches.

The proliferation of drug trafficking and use activities in Indonesia today, makes Indonesia a drug emergency. Narcotics is an extraordinary crime and needs special attention in its eradication efforts. Therefore great power is needed by using the toughest legal actions in which Indonesia has a death sentence. The purpose of capital punishment is to give a violent deterrent to drug offenders and as a warning to other communities not to commit these crimes. The issue examined in this paper is the suitability of Pancasila as the legal basis for the application of the death penalty, and the application of the death penalty to narcotics crime. The reality of capital punishment in Indonesia shows that the implementation of the judicial system is not good and the execution of the death penalty is always postponed so that it seems indecisive . In addition, the regulation of capital punishment also raises the debate between the ethical values of Pancasila and positive law (KUHP). It is undeniable that in the effort to implement such assertiveness sometimes experience obstacles both from within and outside the country. As well as various counter opinions regarding capital punishment that violate human rights . Even in Indonesia alone for those who contradict the death penalty, it is associated with violating the first precepts of Pancasila, where God is the ruler of the universe who has full provisions for the right to life and death. But Indonesia still applies the death penalty based on the positive law (KUHP).

O objetivo foi analisar a capacidade de manutenção da umidade do solo sob diferentes coberturas vegetais (eucalipto, mata nativa e pastagem) em estágio maduro de desenvolvimento em uma bacia hidrográfica na Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais. Três amostras compostas deformadas de solo por parcela foram coletadas nas profundidades de 0-10 e 10-20 cm para análise da matéria orgânica e das propriedades físicas dos solos (textura, porosidade total, densidade de solo e densidade de partículas). A umidade foi monitorada através de amostras de solo, nas profundidades avaliadas, a cada sete dias, durante cinco semanas. O solo sob plantio de eucalipto apresentou os menores valores de densidade de solo e de partículas, em comparação aos solos sob pastagem e mata nativa. A mata nativa apresentou maior contribuição na formação de matéria orgânica do solo (MOS). O eucalipto foi a cobertura vegetal que melhor reteve umidade do solo, seguido da mata nativa e pastagem (eucalipto > mata nativa > pastagem). O manejo inadequado da pastagem afeta negativamente o conteúdo de matéria orgânica e a capacidade de manutenção da umidade no solo. Plantios de eucalipto, quando bem manejados, favorecem o incremento de matéria orgânica no solo, aumentando a capacidade de retenção de água.

Published: January 2020

Транстиретиновата фамилна амилоидна полиневропатия (TTR-FAP) е автозомно доминантно заболяване, причинено от мутации в гена за транстиретин, като най-широко разпространена е мутацията V30M (eдиничната аминокиселинна субституция на метионин за валин на позиция 30). Въпреки, че при всеки транстиретинов вариант има различна клинична картина, преобладават периферната невропатия и кардиомиопатията. Бъбречното увреждане не е толкова често. Първоначално се е смятало, че това заболяване следва доброкачествена еволюция по отношение на бъбреците, по-късно е установено, че прогресия до краен стадий на бъбречно заболяване се среща при 10% от пациентите, като естествен ход на болестта. Откриването и прогнозата на TTR-FAP нефропатията зависят от наличието на албуминурия и повишена концентрация на серумния креатинин. Честа е и вегетативната дисфункция, проявявана като сексуални нарушения или уринарни инфекции. Нефропатията не корелира с възрастта, продължителността на заболяването или тежестта на невропатията.

Представяме клиничен случай на пациент с транстиретинова фамилна амилоидна полиневропатия, доказана генетично чрез ДНК анализ, лекуван в отделението по нефрология на УМБАЛ „Св. Георги” – Пловдив за период от 4 години.

As a group of autoimmune diseases, systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc) is characterized by immune dysregulation, micro-vessels dominant obliteration, and the final fibrosis of the skin and or internal organs. Although the precise mechanisms are still unknown, increasing data shows that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNA (miRNA), are strictly related to the pathogenesis of scleroderma. Epigenetic mechanisms, which can link genetics and environmental stress, represents a promising field in systemic sclerosis investigation. The objective of this review is, to sum up the current information about epigenetic alteration.
Why do adults go to adult secondary school?
Authors: Donvito Angel , Otero María Rita
Published: January 2020

This paper analyzes the motivation of adult students to attend Adult Secondary Education (ASE) in Argentina. The investigation consisted of an exploration stage using the Focus Groups technique (FG) in which 29 ASE students participated, then a stage of analysis and construction of a survey based on the results of the FG, and finally, a stage of implementation and analysis of the survey, which was administered to 820 adult students nationwide. The results show that students' motivation is related to three aspects: improving job position, improving self-esteem and preparing to study a career. Furthermore, these aspects are not isolated, but are significantly associated with each other. Considering the students' motivation to attend the ASE both in the curricular conformation and at classrooms, could be a way to improve not only the teaching but also the quality of life of adults.
DISSENTING BODY AND ITS CREATIVE RECONTEXTUALISATION IN LITHUANIAN VISUAL ARTS
Authors: Nikiforova Basia , Šapoka Kęstutis
Published: January 2020

The body is an important starting point concept throughout deconstruction, reconstruction and recontextualization of the body’s concept. This change of focus in research that stems from the results to the process of contextualization means that the researcher should engage with texts or images, as they are reflected in the process of cultural development and exchange, through which decontextualization is exhibited. This article deals with the concept of new materialism and endeavors to explain, how discourses come to matter. It examines the issue of how new materialism tackles visual art in innovative ways – through the intersections of artistic practice, art-as-research, and philosophical analysis. Such definitions as Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s “a bodily being”, Julia Kristeva’s “the abjection of the self”, Arjun Appadurai’s “the aesthetics of decontextualization” and “singularized object”, Igor Kopytoff’s “the cultural biography of things”, and Nicholas Thomas’ “entangled objects”, constitute the methodological frameworks of our research. We will analyze such approaches as Hans Belting’s concept of body as a “living medium”, Giorgio Agamben’s view on body as an object of commodification and Jacques Derrida’s “trust in painting”. An attempt to understand body reconceptualization and deconstruction through the categories of new materialism is the most important aim of this article. Karen Barad’s concept of intra-action (that implies a clear-cut subject-object distinction) is crucial to our research, which underlines that bodies have no inherent boundaries and properties and that the analyzed representations are “material-discursive phenomena”. The artworks under consideration will be confronted with a diagnosis that, according to Barad, all bodies come to matter thanks the intra-activity and its performativity. The case studies of Svajonė Stanikienė and Paulius Stanikas, Evaldas Jansas and Eglė Rakauskaitė works show how the image of the body is developed through the processes of their deconstruction and decontextualization.
THE PERCEPTION OF CREATIVE VERBAL COMMUNICATION IN IDIOMATICITY
Authors: Šliogerienė Jolita , Stunžaitė Alisa
Published: January 2020

For a successful verbal communication, the ability of decoding the direct and figurative meaning is essential. Idioms as a part of any language have always been an issue for the discussion among scholars. It is said that artists add life to their artworks with colours while writers “add colour” to their writings with idioms and other figurative speech that fosters creative thinking. Therefore, the article deals with the perception of figurative meaning expressed in verbal communication through the usage of colour idioms. The paper discloses a different understanding and employment of colour idioms, black and white colour in particular, in various cultural settings. The analysis reveals that not all languages possess colour idioms with the same colour element within them. It also discloses cultural aspects of three linguistic communities, one colour could be considered as the most prominent example as in three languages it refers to a completely different phenomenon.
GREEN BENEFITS ON EDUCATIONAL BUILDINGS ACCORDING TO THE LEED CERTIFICATION
Authors: Kim Ji-Myong , Son Kiyoung , Son Seunghyun
Published: January 2020

Countries around the world are making efforts to develop and introduce green building certification systems to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of these efforts, green certification systems are rapidly spreading. Consistent with this, certification systems are also being developed and research related to various technologies and regulations is ongoing. However, most research focuses on residential and commercial buildings and there is still a lack of scientific research on educational facilities. To fill the gap and support the former studies, this research statistically studies the economic effects of green certification systems on educational facilities. For this purpose, the benefits, i.g., building price and maintenance & repair costs, were examined for universities in Canada that were admitted to the Canadian Educational Institution. As shown by the results of this study, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified buildings cost 49.9% more to build and had 25.6% lower maintenance and repair costs than non-LEED certified buildings.

Materials used for the study: Portland cement CEM I 42,5 R, 0/4 fraction sand, 4/16 fraction gravel, biofuel fly ash, superplastizer ViscoCrete D187 (V) and water. Seven compositions of concrete were designed by replacing 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% of cement with biofuel fly ash. The article analyses the effect of biofuel fly ash content on the properties of concrete. Studies have shown that the increase of biofuel fly ash content up to 15% increases concrete density and compressive strengh after 28 days of curing, compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, closed porosity, concrete forecasted freeze-thaw cycles and decreases water absorbtion, open porosity.
Perceived Benefits of Using Nonpharmacological Interventions in Older Adults With Alzheimer's Disease or Dementia With Lewy Bodies
Authors: Park Juyoung , Howard Heather , Tolea Magdalena I. , Galvin James E.
Published: January 2020

The current qualitative research explored perceived effects of three nonpharmacological interventions (chair yoga [CY], participatory music intervention [MI], and chair-based exercise [CBE]) in managing symptoms in older adults with Alzheimer's disease or dementia with Lewy bodies from family caregivers' perspectives. Three focus groups were conducted following completion of the 12-week interventions. Constant comparative analysis determined whether each intervention had perceived effects on symptoms, based on caregivers' perspectives. Three major themes emerged: (a)
Changes in Cognitive Symptoms,
(b)
Changes in Physical Function,
and (c)
Changes in Mood, Behavioral Symptoms, and Sleep Disturbance
. Results can be integrated into treatment plans for older adults with dementia. Future research should focus on CY or CBE with support from caregivers to manage dementia symptoms and compare CY or CBE practiced with caregivers against CBE or CY practiced solely by participants with dementia. [

Evidence-Based Approaches to Minimizing Malpractice Risk in Orthopedic Surgery
Authors: Bhattacharyya Timothy
Published: January 2020

abstract

The malpractice crisis continues unabated in the United States. However, there are many strategies with foundations in scientific study that physicians can use to reduce their malpractice risk. Studies have shown technical error has little relationship with malpractice claims. Patients with higher education levels and socioeconomic status are more likely to file lawsuits. Surgeons should be aware of how to respond in the event a claim is filed. Improving physician-patient communication is the cornerstone of any strategy to reduce malpractice claims.
