As we all know, in the agricultural industry, farmers and agribusinesses must make countless decisions every day, and the different elements influencing them are complex. The proper yield calculation for the different crops involved in the planning is a critical issue for agricultural planning. Data mining techniques are a critical component of achieving practical and successful solutions to this issue. Agriculture has always been a natural fit for big data. Environmental conditions, soil variability, input amounts, combinations, and commodity pricing have all made it more important for farmers to use data and seek assistance when making vital farming decisions. This research focuses on analyzing agricultural data and determining the best parameters to maximize crop output using machine learning techniques such as Random Forest, Decision Tree and Linear Regression, which can achieve high accuracy. Mining current crop, soil, and climatic data, as well as evaluating new, non-experimental data, improves production and makes agriculture more robust to climate change.
Survey on Spam Review Detection Using Spam Filtering Algorithms
Authors: Shweta B. Dand
Published: July 2021

Generally the people trust on product on the basis of that product reviews and rating. Reviews can affect an organization or profile of a brand. The corporation has to assess market reactions towards its goods. However, it is not straightforward to track and organize popular reviews. Many public views are hard to manually process in social media. A methodology is then required to categories positive or negative public assessments automatically. Online feedback will provide customers with an insight into the consistency, efficiency and advice of the product; this provides prospective buyers with a better understanding of the product. One such unrealized opportunity is the usability of web assessments from suppliers in order to fulfill client requirements by evaluating beneficial feedback. Good and negative reviews play a major role in assessing customer needs and in quicker collection of product input from consumers. Sentiment Analysis is a computer study that extracts contextual data from the text. In this study a vast number of online mobile telephone ratings are analyzed. We classify the text as positive and negative, but we also included feelings of frustration, expectation, disgust, apprehension, happiness, regret, surprise and confidence for spam review detection. This delimited grouping of feedback helps to holistically assess the product, allowing buyers to decide better.

Published: July 2021

In its definition, the term 'currency' defines an agreed-upon exchange item, the national currency being the legal entity used by the selected controlling entity. Throughout history, issuers have faced 1 common threat: counterfeit. In recent years fake money note has been printed that has resulted in significant losses and damage to society. Therefore, it becomes necessary to build a tool for earning money. This research project proposes a way to look at the note of counterfeit money distributed in our country through their image. After selecting an image use pre-processing. In pre-processing, the acquired image is cropped, smooth, and adjust. Change the image to grey-scale. After conversion use image separation. Features are extracted and reduce. Finally, compare the picture to be real or fake. Duplicate money has been a major problem in the market. There are currency counting machines available in banks and other trading venues to check financial authenticity. Most people do not have access to such programs which is why there is a need for fake money laundering software, which can be used by ordinary people. This proposed framework uses Image Processing to determine whether the money is real or counterfeit. The research project program is built entirely using Python's programming language. It has the methods such as grayscale conversion, edge detection, segmentation, etc.

Authors: B Satish Kumar
Published: July 2021

The number of working parents has greatly increased. Subsequently, baby care has become a daily challenge for many families. However, the parents cannot continuously monitor their babies’ conditions. Therefore, GSM based baby monitoring and automatic swing system is proposed as an efficient system for monitoring the baby in real time. This system monitors wetness in the mattress, baby’s cry and orientation. These sensed values are processed by the microprocessor board i.e., Raspberry Pi 3b+. To notify the condition of the baby to parent via SMS GSM module is used for communication. The system also performs actuations by using motors to swing the cradle when baby cries, video is played with the help of monitor to entertain the baby and also the system has safety cushions which will prevent baby from getting hurt if falls. Webcam is used to monitor the baby. Hence all these sensing, monitoring and actuations help parent monitor babies and take precautions.

Published: July 2021

In India, 70% people are related directly or indirectly to farming. The major challenge for farmers to get farmer related services like labour and tractor related services because of poor communication between service providers and farmers . The FSMS (Farming Services Management System) will provide the convenient way by which farmers will get various farming related services like labour services for planting, weeding, cutting etc. and tractor services like ploughing, rotatory machine, moving heavy weights etc. The system will provide the list of service providers with charges according to the area selected by the farmer. Service provider has the facility to confirm or reject the request which is sent by the farmer. If the service provider accepts the request then according to conversation done by farmer and labour, one notification is generated at farmer side. It confirms that the service provider is ready to work or not and according to that response the service is added to the service stack of farmers. FSMS is a mobile (Android and ios) based application which provides an interface in a native language of the user like Marathi. Users of this application may not be well educated so it helps them to use the application in a convenient and efficient way.

Authors: S Thivaharan.
Published: July 2021

Modern communication devices generate huge amount of data through the manifold usage of various social media applications. Among the entire generated data more than 40% are unstructured in nature. The industry also is reluctant to retain the data with the following characteristics: data containing asynchronous time stamp, replicated data, data which are broken while transmission and data that leads to misclassification. It is high time to drop-out the irrelevant data and considering the synchronous ones. In this article, a sentiment extraction model is proposed that governs the various social media contents. SpaCy is used as the preferred implementation language as it has many readily available libraries for the purpose of content classification. To avoid the over-fitting problem the actuators like “relu” and “sigmoid” are used. Even though many such classifiers are available for content classification, this article with the appropriate setting of Epoch counts, a categorical accuracy of 68% is obtained. The entire model is implemented in the TensorFlow based platform.

Structural Analysis of Cantilever Retaining Wall using STAAD PRO and Compare with Manual Calculations
Authors: Nimkarde Nikhil
Published: July 2021

Reinforced concrete retaining walls have a vertical or sloping stem cast by the base plate. They are considered suitable for a height of 6 m. It resists lateral pressure on the ground by the cantilever action of the stem, plate on the legs and heel plate. The tendency of the wall to slide forward due to lateral pressure on the ground should be investigated, and a safety factor of 1.5 should be provided against slipping. Consolidated retaining walls are best at a height of 6 m. For a greater height, the pressure on the ground due to the preserved filling will be higher due to the effect of the lever arm, the base produces higher moments, which leads to a higher section for designing stability, as well as to the design structures of the structure. In this paper, structural analysis should be performed in the case of wall retention with different types of joints and span. The cantilever retaining wall and the buttress retaining wall are modeled for different seismic zones.

Published: July 2021

El cultivo de frutillas o fresas (Fragaria x ananassa) se encuentra diseminado por el mundo y en Argentina la producción se ha incrementado en los últimos años, incluso en el Sur de Patagonia, donde debido a las condiciones climáticas adversas este cultivo debe desarrollarse bajo cubierta. La tecnología hidropónica se presenta como una alternativa para obtener incremento del rendimiento y un uso más eficiente del agua y los recursos. En el presente estudio se evaluaron dos variedades de frutilla (“Fern” y “Sweet Ann”) bajo tecnología hidropónica en Nutrient Film Technique (NFT). Se encontraron diferencias significativas en producción entre las variedades. Los rendimientos medios obtenidos fueron 85,3 y 45,9 g/planta/mes para “Sweet” y “Fern”, respectivamente. La producción total de fruta a lo largo del período (noviembre-abril) fue de 511,8 (±78) y 275,5 (±64) g/planta para “Sweet” y “Fern”, respectivamente. En cuanto a calidad, la variedad “Sweet” presentó mayores valores de peso medio del fruto (16,8 g/fruto) y pH (3,6). No hubo diferencias entre ambas en el total de sólidos solubles (9,5 %). Los resultados del presente estudio muestran que la producción de frutillas, especialmente la variedad “Sweet”, en sistema hidropónico NFT, sería una opción productiva viable para la producción intensiva en Patagonia, ya que los valores de rendimiento y calidad de fruta se encuentran entre los obtenidos para este cultivo en sistemas convencionales o son incluso superiores a los informados en la región.
Charging a quantum battery with linear feedback control
Authors: Mitchison Mark T. , Goold John , Prior Javier
Published: July 2021

Energy storage is a basic physical process with many applications. When considering this task at the quantum scale, it becomes important to optimise the non-equilibrium dynamics of energy transfer to the storage device or battery. Here, we tackle this problem using the methods of quantum feedback control. Specifically, we study the deposition of energy into a quantum battery via an auxiliary charger. The latter is a driven-dissipative two-level system subjected to a homodyne measurement whose output signal is fed back linearly into the driving field amplitude. We explore two different control strategies, aiming to stabilise either populations or quantum coherences in the state of the charger. In both cases, linear feedback is shown to counteract the randomising influence of environmental noise and allow for stable and effective battery charging. We analyse the effect of realistic control imprecisions, demonstrating that this good performance survives inefficient measurements and small feedback delays. Our results highlight the potential of continuous feedback for the control of energetic quantities in the quantum regime.
Self-organized topological insulator due to cavity-mediated correlated tunneling
Authors: Chanda Titas , Kraus Rebecca , Morigi Giovanna , Zakrzewski Jakub
Published: July 2021

Topological materials have potential applications for quantum technologies. Non-interacting topological materials, such as e.g., topological insulators and superconductors, are classified by means of fundamental symmetry classes. It is instead only partially understood how interactions affect topological properties. Here, we discuss a model where topology emerges from the quantum interference between single-particle dynamics and global interactions. The system is composed by soft-core bosons that interact via global correlated hopping in a one-dimensional lattice. The onset of quantum interference leads to spontaneous breaking of the lattice translational symmetry, the corresponding phase resembles nontrivial states of the celebrated Su-Schriefer-Heeger model. Like the fermionic Peierls instability, the emerging quantum phase is a topological insulator and is found at half fillings. Originating from quantum interference, this topological phase is found in "exact" density-matrix renormalization group calculations and is entirely absent in the mean-field approach. We argue that these dynamics can be realized in existing experimental platforms, such as cavity quantum electrodynamics setups, where the topological features can be revealed in the light emitted by the resonator.

In responding to the corona virus outbreak, each region has a different way. Aceh, which is identical to Islamic law, also has a different way of dealing with the Corona Virus Outbreak. One of the ways that the Acehnese people do is to revive the Tulak Bala tradition. This study aims to examine how an outbreak is in the historical perspective of the Acehnese people and how the Tulak Bala Tradition is carried out by the people of Aceh in dealing with the Corona Virus. This type of research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection was carried out by means of observation, documentation and interviews and data presentation was carried out descriptively. The results showed that an epidemic was not something new for the people of Aceh. The epidemic has occurred since the 2nd Dutch aggression with the spread of a cholera epidemic that killed many people. The Tulak Bala tradition carried out by the people of Aceh is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation to its predecessors. This tradition does not believe that it can prevent and eliminate all forms of plague and calamity. The people of Aceh believe that the plague is an offering of Allah SWT so that to be able to deal with it, they must ask for help from the Creator.Keywords: Aceh Community, Tradition, Tulak Bala, and Corona Virus.

Published: July 2021

This article is the result of a research that aims to analyze the pedagogical practices of teachers and in particular to investigate the presence and promotion of mathematical processes proposed by the Ministry of National Education of Colombia. This report focuses on the process of formulating and solving mathematical problems, considering all aspects of pedagogical practices framed in the teaching framework such as planning and preparation of classes, learning environments, learning strategies and professional responsibilities. Each of these is considered a fundamental pillar for the process of self-reflection and improvement of teachers in the classroom. As for the adopted methodology, it adjusts to the characteristics of the quantitative approach, at a descriptive level with a field design. The members of the sample are a group of 80 teachers who work in public or private institutions in Cúcuta and its metropolitan area. A questionnaire was applied that has been validated and consists of 9 items that correspond to the problem-solving process and 34 items correspond to the block of pedagogical practices that are evaluated using a five-level Likert scale. The results found allow us to highlight that 83.6% of the teachers’ state that when planning their classes, they pose problem situations using different types of support and identifying what their students are expected to learn. Based on the analysis of pedagogical practices, it is intended to answer in future research the questions: What is the mathematical process that teachers promote in the classroom? What aspects do teachers take into account when planning the class with respect to the mathematical processes. These concerns arise as a complement to the result of this research, since it is of the utmost importance that the teacher potentiates each of the mathematical processes.

Authors: López Guevara Brigette
Published: July 2021

Contextualización: la frecuencia, poder radiativo y tamaño de los incendios en el mundo se ha incrementado, generando graves impactos sociales, ambientales y económicos.

Vacío del conocimiento: A pesar de ello, se cuenta con una cantidad limitada de investigaciones frente a este problema, especialmente en el norte (NSA) y centro de Suramérica (CSA) que permitan crear políticas públicas con base en la ciencia y tecnología.

Propósito: así las cosas, el presente proyecto busco analizar espacial y temporalmente los incendios del norte y centro de Suramérica entre 2009 y 2019.

Metodología: se utilizó información del espectrorradiómetro de imágenes de media resolución (MODIS) a bordo de los satélites Aqua y Terra de la NASA. Los datos de incendios con una confianza mayor al 75% fueron seleccionados y procesados en lenguaje de programación R. Se identifico espacialmente aquellos incendios con el mayor poder radiativo [MW] (por encima del percentil 90). La distribución del conteo diario de incendios se analizó de forma mensual y anual.

Resultados y conclusiones: durante los primeros cuatro meses del año, el NSA es afectado por incendios de más de 3000 MW en la cuenca de la Orinoquia; mientras que el CSA es afectado en más de un 90% por incendios de más 8800 MW, principalmente durante agosto, septiembre y octubre.

G-type immunoglobulins (IgGs) are extensively used in the pharmaceutical
industry against various diseases, being also crucial in multiple
immunoassays. The production of secondary monoclonal antibodies (Abs)
for IgG detection is not cost-effective, while polyclonal antibody
production still depends on laboratory animals, which raises concerns
regarding animal welfare. As alternatives, bacterial proteins (A and G)
have been widely exploited; however, several difficulties are
encountered regarding their use for IgG detection and purification. The
widespread use of IgGs in the pharmaceutical industry and the increasing
number and variety of new Abs entering the market impose the need to
develop new detection and purification strategies. The TRIM21 protein is
a soluble intracellular IgG receptor that binds to the Fc region of many
species with high affinity. We created a chimeric protein containing a
mutated form of the C-terminal domain of mouse TRIM21 linked to a
streptavidin moiety to detect IgGs from a wide range of species. The
protein is promptly produced by heterologous expression and consists of
an improved molecular tool, expanding the portfolio of Ab-affinity
ligands for immunoassays.

Present-day ecology and population structure are the legacies of past
climate and habitat perturbations, and this is particularly true for
species that are widely distributed at high latitudes. The red knot,
Calidris canutus, is an arctic-breeding, long-distance migratory
shorebird with six recognized subspecies defined by differences in
morphology, migration behavior, and annual-cycle phenology, in a global
distribution thought to have arisen just since the Last Glacial Maximum
(LGM). We used nextRAD sequencing of 10,881 single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) to assess the neutral genetic structure and
phylogeographic history of 172 red knots representing all known global
breeding populations. Using population genetics approaches, including
model-based scenario-testing in an approximate Bayesian computation
(ABC) framework, we infer that red knots derive from two main lineages
that diverged ca. 34,000 years ago, and thus persisted at the LGM in
both Palearctic and Nearctic refugia, followed by at least two instances
of secondary contact and admixture. In two flyways, we detected clear
genetic structure between population pairs with similar migrations and
substantial geographic overlap in the non-breeding season. Conversely,
other populations were only weakly differentiated despite clearly
divergent migratory phenotypes and little or no apparent contact
throughout the annual cycle. In general, the magnitude of genetic
differentiation did not match that of phenotypic differences among
populations, suggesting that flyway-specific phenotypes developed quite
rapidly and do not necessarily impose barriers to gene flow. Our results
suggest that population structure and migratory phenotypes in red knots
arose from a complex interplay among phylogeography, plasticity, and
selective processes.

Objectives: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a
common therapy for end-stage heart failure. LVAD patients often present
with atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to evaluate
the influence of AF in combination with vascular complications on
outcome in LVAD patients. Methods: Between 01/2010 and 12/2017, 168
patients (141 male) with end-stage heart failure underwent LVAD
implantation at a single center. Patient outcome was retrospectively
studied using the Kaplan-Meier method for analyzing crude survival as
well as Cox regression for analyzing risk factors. Results: Sixty-two
patients suffered from preoperative atrial fibrillation at LVAD
implantation. Mean age was 56.8±11.9 years (range: 22–79) and 141
(84%) were male. Postoperatively, vascular or visceral surgical
management due to malperfusion was needed in 27 patients (16.1%) and
did not correlate with postoperative mortality (p=0.121, HR=1.587,
CI=0.885–2.845). Patient with AF had by trend an impaired outcome in
Kaplan-Meier analysis (p=0.069). Cox regression analysis revealed
postoperative AF (n=53, p=0.316, HR=1.281, CI=0.789–2.079),
preoperative mechanical support (MCS) [extracorporeal membrane
oxygenator (ECMO), intraaortic balloon pump, Abiomed Impella® (n=74,
p=0.160, HR=1.391, CI=0.878-2.206)] as no significant risk factors for
death. Conclusions: Our data suggest preoperative AF may be a potential
predictor of mortality and impaired long-term outcome in LVAD patients.
In contrast preoperative ECLS and vascular or visceral surgery after
LVAD implantation did not represent limiting factors with regard to
mortality after LVAD implantation.

Published: July 2021

Introduction: Free-of-charge (FoC) medicine schemes are increasingly
available and allow access to investigational treatments outside
clinical trials or in advance of licensing or NHS commissioning.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed FoC medicine schemes evaluated
between 2013 and 2019 by a single NHS trust and a regional drug and
therapeutics committee (DTC). The details of each locally reviewed FoC
scheme, and any nationally available MHRA Early Access to Medicines
Scheme (MHRA EAMS) in the same period, were recorded and categorised.
Results: Most FoC schemes (95%) allowed access to medicines intended to
address an unmet clinical need. Over 7 years, 90% were company-FoC
schemes and 10% were MHRA EAMS that were locally reviewed. Phase 3
clinical trial data were available for 44% of FoC schemes; 37% had
phase 2 data; and 19% were supported only by phase 1, retrospective
observational studies, or pre-clinical data. Utilisation of company-FoC
schemes increased on average by 50% per year, while MHRA EAMS showed
little growth. Conclusion: Company-FoC medicine schemes are increasingly
common. This may indicate a preference for pharmaceutical companies to
independently co-ordinate schemes. Motivations for company-FoC schemes
remain unclear and many provide access to treatments that are yet to be
evaluated in appropriately conducted clinical trials, and whose efficacy
and risk of harm remain uncertain. There is no standardisation of this
practice and there is no regulatory oversight. Moreover, no standardised
data collection framework is in place that could demonstrate the utility
of such programmes in addressing unmet clinical need or allow generation
of further evidence.

Of the 1061 patients of coronavirus disease-2019 admitted to our field
hospital, eight patients (0.75%) had pneumothorax. The mean age of
incidence was 79.9 years; six of these patients (75%) died. Although
pneumothorax is a rare complication of coronavirus disease-2019, it
suggests a poor prognosis in elderly patients.
Partial oxidation of methane coupled with CRM and SRM in a tubular membrane reactor: a CFD simulation study
Authors: Zhao Te , Ye Hong , He Zhenyu , Chen Chu-sheng
Published: July 2021

A CFD model for oxygen permeation and partial oxidation of methane (POM)
to syngas in a La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ tubular membrane reactor was
adopted to investigate the effects of the methane space velocity (MSV)
and the feed composition on the reactor performance. It is shown that
coupling POM reaction with carbon dioxide and steam reforming of methane
(CRM and SRM), which is realized by co-feeding CH4 with CO2, H2O or
CO2-H2O mixture into the reactor, can significantly enhance the methane
conversion and syngas production rate and alter the H2/CO ratio as
compared with feeding CH4 alone. For co-feeding CH4 with CO2, H2O or
CO2-H2O mixture, the maximum syngas production rate is 2.3, 2 and 1.8
times that of feeding CH4 alone. Also, when POM is coupled with CRM and
SRM, the temperature inside the reactor can be maintained above 973 K
which is required for proper functioning of the membrane and catalyst.
