Sustainable Societal Infrastructures: A Resilient Approach to Prevent Conflicting Claims of Drinking Water and Other Infrastructures
Authors: Kloosterman Ritsche Anne , Veeneman Wijnand , van der Hoek Jan Peter
Published: January 2020

Societal infrastructures are the lifeblood of societies, and the sustainability of infrastructures is very important. Societal infrastructures can experience conflicting spatial claims with other societal infrastructures, disturbing the sustainable situation. The objective of this paper is to design large infrastructures, with a focus on the Drinking Water Infrastructure (DWI), in a more sustainable way by using the resilience concept. To study this, a case study was done in the Netherlands, where an overlap is present between the DWI and the protection zones, and a new railroad and water safety measures in the river IJssel. The case showed that conflicting infrastructures are inflexible and unable to adapt to change due to several reasons in the governance and in the infrastructure system itself. The case was useful for identifying eight design principles to prevent conflicting claims between large infrastructures.

Published: January 2020

“Innovation activities” means all the scientific, technological, organizational, financial and commercial steps aimed at implementing innovation. Some innovation activities are themselves innovative, others are not new, but they are necessary for the implementation of innovation, such as Research and Development not linked to a specific innovation. Innovation has a close reference to the economic market, that is to say with the users of the innovated product: if these are not sufficiently developed they are not able to understand it and appreciate it. Innovation, making the process better, generates greater competitiveness: it is the dream of something better that translates into general well-being. This work presents an innovative hybrid car’s design, belonging to the E-segment. The choice of this segment is already innovative in its nature, as despite being currently in strong development, hybrid and electric engines are still little used for large sedans. The method we present in this paper for the car design is also innovative and is called Design for Six Sigma. It is a method used to develop new products, through the determination of customer and market needs and the transformation of these requests into the product generated.

Published: January 2020

In mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) the recombination processes within the TiO2 photoelectrode and at the TiO2/perovskite interface limit power conversion efficiency. To overcome this challenge, we investigated the effect of TiO2 phase composition on the electronic structure of TiO2 photoelectrodes, as well as on PSCs performance. For this, a set of PSCs based on TiO2 thin films with different content of anatase and rutile particles was fabricated under ambient conditions. X-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the structural, morphological and optical characteristics of TiO2 powders and TiO2-based thin films. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of anatase revealed a cliff conduction band alignment of 0.2 eV with respect to the rutile. Energy band alignment at the anatase/rutile/perovskite interfaces deduced from the XPS data provides the possibility for interparticle electron transport from the rutile to anatase phase and the efficient blocking of electron recombination at the TiO2/perovskite interface, leading to efficient electron-hole separation in PSCs based on mixed-phase TiO2 photoelectrodes. PSCs based on TiO2 layers with 60/40 anatase/rutile ratio were characterized by optimized charge extraction and low level of recombination at the perovskite/TiO2 interface and showed the best energy conversion efficiency of 13.4% among the studied PSCs. Obtained results provide a simple and effective approach towards the development of the next generation high efficiency PSCs.
Measuring Gravity at Cosmological Scales
Authors: Amendola Luca , Bettoni Dario , Pinho Ana Marta , Casas Santiago
Published: January 2020

This review is a pedagogical introduction to models of gravity and how they are constrained through cosmological observations. We focus on the Horndeski scalar-tensor theory and on the quantities that can be measured with a minimum of assumptions. Alternatives or extensions of general relativity have been proposed ever since its early years. Because of the Lovelock theorem, modifying gravity in four dimensions typically means adding new degrees of freedom. The simplest way is to include a scalar field coupled to the curvature tensor terms. The most general way of doing so without incurring in the Ostrogradski instability is the Horndeski Lagrangian and its extensions. Testing gravity means therefore, in its simplest term, testing the Horndeski Lagrangian. Since local gravity experiments can always be evaded by assuming some screening mechanism or that baryons are decoupled, or even that the effects of modified gravity are visible only at early times, we need to test gravity with cosmological observations in the late universe (large-scale structure) and in the early universe (cosmic microwave background). In this work, we review the basic tools to test gravity at cosmological scales, focusing on model-independent measurements.
Defenses against Virus and Vector: A Phloem-Biological Perspective on RTM- and SLI1-Mediated Resistance to Potyviruses and Aphids
Authors: Kloth Karen J. , Kormelink Richard
Published: January 2020

Combining plant resistance against virus and vector presents an attractive approach to reduce virus transmission and virus proliferation in crops. Restricted Tobacco-etch virus Movement (RTM) genes confer resistance to potyviruses by limiting their long-distance transport. Recently, a close homologue of one of the RTM genes, SLI1, has been discovered but this gene instead confers resistance to Myzus persicae aphids, a vector of potyviruses. The functional connection between resistance to potyviruses and aphids, raises the question whether plants have a basic defense system in the phloem against biotic intruders. This paper provides an overview on restricted potyvirus phloem transport and restricted aphid phloem feeding and their possible interplay, followed by a discussion on various ways in which viruses and aphids gain access to the phloem sap. From a phloem-biological perspective, hypotheses are proposed on the underlying mechanisms of RTM- and SLI1-mediated resistance, and their possible efficacy to defend against systemic viruses and phloem-feeding vectors.
TRIM41-Mediated Ubiquitination of Nucleoprotein Limits Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Infection
Authors: Patil Girish , Xu Lingling , Wu Yakun , Song Kun , Hao Wenzhuo , Hua Fang , Wang Lingyan , Li Shitao
Published: January 2020

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a zoonotic, negative-stranded RNA virus of the family Rhabdoviridae. The nucleoprotein (N) of VSV protects the viral genomic RNA and plays an essential role in viral transcription and replication, which makes the nucleoprotein an ideal target of host defense. However, whether and how host innate/intrinsic immunity limits VSV infection by targeting the N protein are unknown. In this study, we found that the N protein of VSV (VSV-N) interacted with a ubiquitin E3 ligase, tripartite motif protein 41 (TRIM41). Overexpression of TRIM41 inhibited VSV infection. Conversely, the depletion of TRIM41 increased host susceptibility to VSV. Furthermore, the E3 ligase defective mutant of TRIM41 failed to limit VSV infection, suggesting the requirement of the E3 ligase activity of TRIM41 in viral restriction. Indeed, TRIM41 ubiquitinated VSV-N in cells and in vitro. TRIM41-mediated ubiquitination leads to the degradation of VSV-N through proteasome, thereby limiting VSV infection. Taken together, our study identifies TRIM41 as a new intrinsic immune factor against VSV by targeting the viral nucleoprotein for ubiquitination and subsequent protein degradation.

Fan Chart Approach to Debt Sustainability in Pakistan
Authors: Ejaz Mehak , Hyder Kalim
Published: January 2020

Pakistan’s economy has experienced relatively high growth of above 4.5 percent during FY2014-18. Meanwhile external liabilities and domestic debt have increased by almost 50 percent over the same period. This substantial increase in the external and domestic debt is a major issue for policymakers concerned about debt sustainability in Pakistan. With the objective of analyzing debt sustainability in Pakistan, this study applies a probabilistic approach to project the debt path from FY2019 to FY2025. In this approach, projections of the primary balance are derived from the estimated fiscal reaction function while the density forecast of external debt is derived from various statistical and structural models. The forecasts of the primary balance and the external debt along with the shocks of real GDP growth, real exchange rate and real interest are incorporated in the debt accumulation identity. This procedure provides a fan chart of the total debt-to-GDP ratio, which represents the appropriate uncertainty associated with the projections. The key finding of the paper is that external debt is reasonably sustained; however, the situation of the total debt is alarming. External debt may witness a declining trajectory in FY2019-20 and then remain stable within the range of 20-30 percent of GDP. However, the total debt-to-GDP ratio is rising throughout the projection period, which starts from around 100 to 175 percent of GDP in FY2020 and FY2025 and is higher than any sustainable threshold level. Therefore, policy makers need to contain fiscal deficits by domestic resource mobilization and the adoption of austerity in spending on a priority basis.
Identifying and Understanding High Growth Firms in the Pakistani Textile and Apparel Sectors
Authors: Wadho Waqar , Chaudhry Azam
Published: January 2020

In this article, we investigate the distinguishing features of fast growing firms in the Pakistani textile and apparel sectors. We find that the distribution of firm growth- both in terms of employment and sales - is very heavily skewed toward the right-tail, confirming earlier findings that firm growth is generated by a very small number of firms. We found that small and young companies grow faster and generate higher employment. We also used various indicators of a firm’s innovation behavior and found that more innovative firms grow faster. Our results suggest that it is not the possession of individual attributes, but rather a combination of particular firm attributes that defines fast growing firms. Specifically, we found that the blend of being small, young and innovative explains the fast growth in firms. on overall these companies also create more jobs.

Due to higher need of memory and other special needs, cloud computing has become very popular. Many cloud encryption schemes are introduced to increase the protection of the files stored in the cloud. These encryption schemes are said to be safe and cannot be hacked. But in some case, due to some circumstances, certain authorities may force service providers to reveal the confidential data stored in the cloud. Thus making the cloud computing to lose its trust from the users in this paper, we are introducing our structure of another encryption conspire, which empowers distributed storage suppliers to make persuading counterfeit regarding the information put away in the cloud. Along these lines making the coercers, befuddled to see the acquired insider facts as obvious or not.so this sort of encryption makes the distributed computing progressively reliable. The greater part of the plans still accept that the specialist organizations are sheltered from hacking and can be trusted. Yet, practically speaking, a few elements may capture the correspondence among clients and specialist co-ops, convincing the specialist co-ops to discharge the information by controlling government control or other means.so for this situation, the encryptions are believed to be fizzled and the information which are regarded to be classified or mystery are discharged to these elements.

Software metric is a computation of characteristics of a programming applications for quality enhancement. Software metrics are used to access the productivity and efficiency of a software product. These are helpful to understand the technical procedure used to create software. Software metric enables software engineers to assess software quality, software process improvement, monitoring and controlling of software. Object-Oriented Software Development is related to real-world objects and their characteristics creation instead of working in software applications. Class Objects have their own internal data structure, which defines their data and methods. Object-Oriented design restrained all the properties and worth of software that is allied to any large or small project. Object-Oriented metric is a measurement term in which a Object-Oriented Software holds features. These are guidelines that give an indication of the progress that a project has made quality.

Nowadays integral transforms are most appropriate techniques for finding the solution of typical problems because these techniques convert them into simpler problems. Finding the solution of initial value problems is the main use of integral transforms. However, there are so many other applications of integral transforms in different areas of mathematics and statistics such as in solving improper integrals of first kind, evaluating the sum of the infinite series, developing the relationship between Beta and Gamma functions, solving renewal equation etc. In this paper, scholars established the relationship between Sumudu and some efficient integral transforms. The application section of this paper has tabular representation of integral transforms of some regularly used functions to demonstrate the physical explanation of relationship between Sumudu and mention integral transforms.

It is difficult to find the exact symptoms of lung cancer due to the formation of the majority of cancer tissues in which the large tissue structure intersects differently. With digital images, this question can be evaluated. Images with the basic operation of the LESH Algorithm will be examined in this strategy. GLCM approach is used in this paper to pre-process the snap shots and feature extraction system and to check a patient's disease rate at its it's premature or unnatural to know it. The cancer stage will be assessed with the aid of the results . Using the data set and the cancer patient's survival rate can be calculated. The conclusion is based entirely on the accurate and incorrect arrangement of tissue patterns.

The fruit categorization according to their visual quality has recently experienced tremendous growth in the field of agriculture and food products. Due to post-harvest loses during handling and processing, there is an increasing demand for quality products in agro industry which requires accuracy to predict the fruit. Various techniques of machine learning have been successfully applied for classifying the fruit built on binary class. In this paper, machine leaning technique is used to automate the process of categorization and to improve the accuracy of different types of fruits by feature selection. To categorized images domain specific features such as color, shape and textual features are considered. Statistical color features are extracted from the image, bounding box feature for shape features and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is used to extract the textual feature of an image. These features are combined in a single feature fusion. A support vector machine (SVM) classification model is trained using training set features on fruit360 dataset which includes six fruit categories (classes) with two sub category (sub-classes) which builds multiclass classification task. We present one-vs-one coding design of Error correcting output codes (ECOC) and apply to SVM classifier; validation followed a fivefold cross validation strategy. The result shows that the textual features combined with color and shape feature improved fruit classification accuracy.

Human resources in organisations are the only resources capable of exercising their intelligence and intellect. Naturally greater the distance and difference from their pre-entry expectations and post-entry experiences, more is the possibility of attrition. Organisations thus lose experienced employees. The researchers here have identified the factors behind the break of psychological contract by the employees. Predicting attrition is a challenging task for the Human Resource (HR) managers and employers. So, after analysing the loopholes in the earlier literatures, the researchers have attempted to discover the common components of psychological contract breach and violation causing attrition. Method of factor reduction has been used here. Finally, the authors have introduced two factors: (i) Effect of post-separation betrayal on psychological contract(PC) and attrition, (ii) Impact of global trade-war on the same , i.e., PC and attrition. The present article is instrumental for employers in identifying as well as controlling break of psychological contract and arresting attrition in manufacturing sectors. New factors, identified by the present authors, open up a new scope for future research in the manufacturing sectors.
