Everyday technologies are evolving with rapid pace. Domain relevant innovations are the driving force in achieving new milestones in different technical sector. This paper resolves issues related to surveillance of Road Transport and Mobility Sector. There are a couple of domains which are marking their concrete existence in almost every field, like Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT). Big Data is an integral part of Data Science which deals with massive amount of data. When we talk about collecting data, there is no big source than internet. Internet of Things (IoT) plays a credible role in information generation from different locations using different devices and collecting the raw data to a centralized location, where the pennies will add up to a dollar, i.e. the small amount of data from different location when collected at one place will add up to the pool of data, which scale up from terabytes to 10s of petabytes, and thus we term it as Big Data. Road Transport and surveillance sector has a wide variety of problems, ranging from illegal breaching of vehicles without paying Toll taxes at Toll Plaza, to Violation of Traffic Signal law. All these problems can be eradicated by making use of hot technologies which uses a centralized system to handle these issues effectively and efficiently, Big Data is one such Technology. Big Data Analytics can help in optimizing operating procedure at such places.

Without the use of a binder, Interlocking paving blocks locked each other and built a stable pavement structure which suitable for sidewalk, footpath and non-traffic area etc. that reduces the construction time and cost both. A huge amount of natural and industrial materials such as cement, bitumen, aggregate and other additives are employed in pavement construction and maintenance at the same time on the other hand plastic waste generation increases day by day which becomes an eyesore. It has been suggested by the researchers that plastic can sustain 4500 years without its degradation. 6 billion tones of plastic has been produced from 1950 to 2018 out which 12% and 9% have been incinerated and recycled but 79% left as untreated. This paper provides an guidance that waste plastic improves the rheological property of binder as well as the physical-mechanical property of interlocking pavement block if it combine with Bitumen. Through this investigation, an attempt also made to identify and suggest a possible use of plastic in the paving block so that dumping and land filling problem of waste plastic can reduce.

The analog circuits are two types; linear and non-linear. The analog circuits are, might be, with or without feedback. In general, linear circuits need negative feedback while negative or positive feedback needed in non-linear circuits. Here, the VG-DVCC is proposed for the realization of linear and non-linear circuits. Basically, this VG-DVCC is a low-gain active network block. Thus, feedback is not needed for the realization of linear circuits whereas non-linear circuits needed feedback. This paper highlights the realization of linear circuits: Instrumentation Amplifiers, Active Filters, and nonlinear circuits: Schmitt Trigger comparator, Square wave generator with variable gain differential voltage current conveyor. The performance is validated by simulation using ADS.

This paper presents the design and implementation of E-restaurant with Robot delivery. It considered as the possible solution for the automation of present food ordering process in restaurants and hotels. The proposed system mainly consists of customer, robotic and maintainer section. The customer can place an order through the tab provided on the table which has the food menu in the restaurant website. This placed order is displayed on the system (PC) at maintainer section. Customer section's website and maintainer section PC's is connected through message queue telemetry protocol (MQTT). Maintainer can dynamically update the e-menu available in website according to availability of food in the restaurant and its prices. Kitchen staff prepares the food and places on the robot’s tray and corresponding table number is selected. The robot is designed using line follower mechanism where it follows the black path laid and it will detect the table using the infrared sensor by counting the number of black patches it encounters while moving on the black path. Once the food is taken by the customer, robot will go back to the maintainer section automatically and waits for another order to be placed. The proposed system removes the language barrier between customer and waiter while ordering and to fasten the food ordering and serving process. It reduces the labor cost for the restaurants and waiting time for the customers.
Robustness Analysis Of Structural Controllability for Directed Networks Against Single Edge Attacks
Authors:   Department of Applied Natural Sciences, Computer Science, Unaizah Community College, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia., Alwasel* Bader
Published: June 2020

Infrastructure systems are an essential component, evolving with greater interconnectivity and interdependence at varying degrees. The control robustness of a network against malicious attack and random failure also becomes a further considerable problem in network controllability and its robustness. An adversary who is adequately knowledgeable about the control system can take control of aspects of the network as it can compromise the control network’s subset of critical nodes and/or disconnect parts of the control network resulting in low observability. Therefore, safeguarding critical infrastructure systems from different disruptions is primarily significant. This paper focuses the POWER DOMINATING SET (PDS) problem, originally introduced by Haynes to study the structure of electric power network control systems and their efficient control, as an alternate framework for the examination of the structural controllability of networks. However, PDS is generally known to be NP-complete with low approximability with recent work focusing on studying properties of restricted graph classes. Based on the PDS problem, this paper also is dedicated to studying the different edge attack strategies, as well as the robustness of network controllability of Erd s- e n i networks with directed control links under single edge attacks. MATLAB will be utilised in order to produce a simulative evaluation for more realistic critical infrastructure networks such as real power networks.

Watermarking is the way toward concealing advanced mystery data in a picture. The best in class watermark implanting plans with the assistance of spread range and quantization, experiences Host Signal Interference (HSI) and scaling assaults, separately. They fixed the inserting parameter, which is hard to consider both power and subtlety for all pictures. This paper takes care of the issues by proposing a visually impaired watermarking strategy, Spread Spectrum Scheme with Adaptive Embedding Strength (SSAES). Their adaptiveness originates from the proposed Adaptive Embedding Strategy (AEP), which expands the installing quality or quantization limit by ensuring the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of the host picture.SSAES includes free of HSI by calculating in the earlier information about HSI. We present a thought called mistake limit to hypothetically dissect the exhibition of our proposed techniques in detail. Further, to improve the security of the watermarked picture, the DCT coefficients are exposed to stage based encryption. This will improve the security of a watermarked picture. The test results reliably exhibit that SSAES outflank the best in class strategies regarding intangibility, power, computational expense, and flexibility. Along these lines the proposed course of action of picture watermarking routs the drawbacks of host signal impedance security ambushes and scaling attack.

This whole study helps us in implementing and making an obstacle avoidance car. This robot is a mobile platform robot that navigates through each and every designated waypoints while trying to avoid any obstruction which comes in the way of the vehicle. We can move the vehicle from one point to another with the help of designated waypoints. This car is based on commonly used RC cars and are made with some modifications and advancements. We can do potential future enhancements by adding a SD card for logging GPS track. We can also add a camera for taking photos and videos. The arduino board acts as a controller which help us to control the speed and change the speed. It also controls the steering of the car to achieve automatic obstacle avoidance. The vehicle’s speed is controlled with the help of pulse wave modulation (PWM) provided to us by the Motor shield. GPS helps us in providing global coordinates of the current location that where the vehicle is present in real time and it also tell us that where that vehicle is heading towards. With the combination of hardware and software we can easily navigate the vehicle and guide it towards right direction..

According to WHO, COVID-19 is an infectious disease and has a significant social and economic impact. The main challenge in ?fighting against this disease is its scale. Due to the imminent outbreak, the medical facilities are over exhausted and unable to accommodate the piling cases. A quick diagnosis system is required to address these challenges. To this end, a stochastic deep learning model is proposed. The main idea is to constrain the deep representations over a gaussian prior to reinforce the discriminability in feature space. The model can work on chest X-ray or CT-scan images. It provides

a fast diagnosis of COVID-19 and can scale seamlessly. This work presents a comprehensive evaluation of previously proposed approaches for X-ray based

disease diagnosis. Our approach works by learning a latent space over X-ray image distribution from the ensemble of state-of-the-art convolutional-nets,

and then linearly regressing the predictions from an ensemble of classifi?ers which take the latent vector as input. We experimented with publicly available datasets having three classes { COVID-19, normal, Pneumonia. Moreover, for robust evaluation, experiments were performed on a large chest X-ray dataset with fi?ve different very similar diseases. Extensive empirical evaluation shows

how the proposed approach advances the state-of-the-art.
On the High Frequency Response of Grounding Electrodes: Effect of Soil Dielectric Constant

Abstract:

Grounding electrodes have an important role in electric power transmission and distribution systems. They are used to prevent excessive hazardous voltages between metallic structures and ground in the case of system faults or lightning surges. It is important that they provide a low impedance path for the current in to the ground. The electrical properties of soil, which vary substantially with geographical location and time of year, affect the process considerably along with the properties of the grounding electrode itself, such as its dimensions.
In order to have an accurate estimation of the developed overvoltages and the backflashover rate of the transmission lines due to a lightning strike, one has to take into account the effect of the value of the soil electrical parameters, such as the electrical conductivity and dielectric constant.
This paper investigates the high frequency behavior of the grounding electrodes by solving a full-wave electromagnetic problem using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The focus is on taking into account the effect of the variation of soil relative permittivity which has been neglected in the previous studies of the grounding systems. This allows an evaluation of the response of grounding systems due to seasonal changes and specifically change of the water content of the soil, which would cause its electrical properties to vary significantly. This study
demonstrates the importance of considering the variation of relative permittivity of the soil especially in the modeling of electrodes buried in highly resistive soil.

La disuguaglianza economica in area marchigiana: uno studio di lungo periodo (1400-1800)
Authors: Ammannati Francesco
Published: June 2020

The research aimed at bringing new data to the study of inequality in the distribution of wealth in the long run using the fiscal documentation available to many communities of the Marches region over a period covering the late Middle Ages and the full modern age. The political-administrative history of this territory, progressively incorporated into the Papal State, was reflected in an evolution of the methodologies for assessing wealth for tax purposes. Their characteristics have been carefully taken into account and criticized in order to ensure compatibility in time and space. Land registers, “estimi”, "libre", as well as books of “collette”, will be used to describe the fiscal capacity of taxpayers enrolled in these registers and to estimate the dynamics of economic inequality.

Ricchezza e proprietà in una città levantina: Bari tra Cinque e Settecento
Authors: Sardone Sergio
Published: June 2020

This work offers a descriptive and quantitative picture of the property owned by the socio-economic elite of Bari, the only one of the three present great cities of Southern Italy analysable for the Modern Age, given the exemption granted to Naples and Palermo as capitals of the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. The analysis on the 1598 apprezzo and the 1753 catasto has allowed to identify and estimate the wealth of the wealthiest families of Bari, and to show the social composition of its main families. From this analysis it emerged also that, during this century and a half, the number of patrician families in Bari halved in favor of those that “lived nobly”, with more substantial assets to replace the patriciate, among them those of foreigners from Ferrara and Lombardy.

Montagne diseguali? Il ruolo regolatore delle risorse collettive nella montagna friulana, secoli XVII-XVIII
Authors: Lorenzini Claudio
Published: June 2020

Among the structural elements characterizing the Alpine communities in comparison to those in the plains was the specularity of their landscapes: large collective areas (woods and pastures) and scarce space for farming; extensive and fertile land, prerogative of selected groups (noblemen, clergymen), and limited collective spaces (pastures). It is on this basis that the argument was made of the ‘natural’ equality of Alpine communities.
Recent studies have instead demonstrated also in these contexts a polarization of land, especially where the temporary migration of men represented one of the foundations of the economy. This is applicable also to the Carnia region, in particular during the second half of the 18th century.

Central America is a net importer of scientific knowledge and technical know-how. A few good quality research and education programs exist in the region. They focus on agriculture and natural resources management. National research systems are generally weak. Current international economic and political conditions are forcing the region into a global environment that demands, above all, human capital resources of the highest quality possible at all levels. Scientific and technical knowledge is increasingly perceived in the region as a strategic resource essential for development. Education is often touted as the road to progress.
Diversity in Science Education: Its Role in the Development of Latin America in the 21st Century
Authors: Tewolde Assefaw
Published: June 2020

Over the next quarter-century, the world's population is expected to grow by an unprecedented 90 million people-the equivalent of Mexico's population in 1995 (IFPRI, 1996). The resulting strain on food supplies, agricultural production, services and the environment will pose enormous challenges to even the most resourceful leaders. However, a growing body of research shows that these challenges can be met provided that well-planned science education and research is in place. That being so, there still is wide variation in the levels of literacy between the different Latin American countries, indicating the differential effect that science education has on the region. This is probably due to the differential investment in science that countries have made over the years. For example, while Costa Rica, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile are among the countries with the highest literacy rates in South America, there are other countries in the same continent with literacy rates at levels below 75 percent. 

Latin America, like the rest of the world, will not escape the challenges of the twenty-first century. These challenges include: an ever increasing concern for environmental conservation and the management of biodiversity; the globalization of the economy; and the increasing need to ensure food security to the growing population in general and particularly to the urban sector. This means that science education must focus on these challenges. In all these, science has had, and will continue to have, significant influence.
Health and Disease

Published: June 2020

A close examination of a healing tradition's assumptions about reality (metaphysics), ways of acquiring knowledge (epistemology), and systems of beliefs and values (ideology) are a powerful focus for a more general attempt to study culture (Beinfield and Koragold, 1991). The intention of this paper is not to offer a comprehensive view of any particular healing tradition. In the few pages that follow, it would be impossible to adequately describe even a single healing tradition. Rather, generalizations concerning the metaphysics, epistemology, and ideology of Western and non-Western healing traditions are used to suggest how healing traditions might be related to broader cultural contexts. Healing traditions outside of allopathic medicine are here referred to by the term "non-Western." This is not meant to suggest a "them vs. us" mentality. If anything it suggests a nonspiritual vs. spiritual dichotomy. Questions raised when different healing traditions encounter each other and sometimes conflict are powerful teaching tools. The hope is that these questions and generalizations might provide the beginning framework by which a student studying abroad could approach culture through issues of health and disease.

Published: June 2020

Industry 4.0 embraces digitization and smart products or processes that are integrated with several technological developments to control the entire value chain of workflows. The construction industry is also captivated with the idea of Industry 4.0 transformation that changes the traditional system into digital and cyber-physical system that interacts and connects across the geographical and organizational borders. However, as construction is commonly known as a low-technologically advanced industry, studies on Industry 4.0 in construction still remains elusive, as compared to other sectors such as manufacturing, electrical and electronic engineering and computer science. Therefore, this study aims to explore the current state of Industry 4.0 application from the construction engineering perspective. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify publications related to Industry 4.0 in construction. A bibliometric analysis has been outlined through exclusion and inclusion principles, while a scientometric analysis has been further applied to enhance the SLR findings through ‘science mapping’ visualization techniques. This study presents the relevance, along with the movement, adoption and adaption of Industry 4.0 in the construction industry that further enables the spark of new ideas, in effort to realize and comprehend the current and future technological transformation in construction.

Досліджено особливості клонального мікророзмноження рослин P. strobus у культурі in vitro. Наведено результати досліджень з підбору реагентів, їх концентрації та експозиції з метою отримання стерильних експлантів, для подальшого їх культивування. Вважають, що найбільше ураження рослинного матеріалу відбувається в літній період, а найменше – у зимовий. У ролі експлантів використано апекси верхівкових бруньок, що заготовляли у другій половині грудня та насіння поточного року. Для стерилізації відібрано зразки, які почергово занурювали в дезінфікувальні розчини гіпохлориту натрію, перекису водню та етилового спирту з різною експозицією. Встановлено, що для успішного введення P. strobus у культуру in vitro найкраще використовувати 2,5 % гіпохлорит натрію з експозицією 6–10 хвилин. Виконано підбір оптимального середовища для розмноження рослинного матеріалу та підвищення частоти регенерування – частки експлантів, які утворили адвентивні мікропагони та кількості нових мікропагонів на експлант. Бруньки у ролі екслантів не використовували, оскільки після проведення стерилізації їх заражуваність інфекцією була вищою, а відсоток життєздатності нижчий, ніж у насіння. Виявлено, що на середовищі Ллойда-Мак-Коуна та Шенка-Хільдебранта експланти розвивались, але бічні пагони утворювались слабо і майже не росли. На середовищі Гамборга материнські експланти взагалі не розвивались і з часом почали гинути. Найсприятливішим для культивування експлантів виявилося середовище Мурасіге-Скуга, тому подальші дослідження виконували на його основі. Для цього новоутворені експланти, отримані після першого культивування, пересаджували на це середовище, модифіковане додаванням регуляторів росту – індолілоцтової (ІОК) та нафтилоцтової кислот (НОК) з концентрацією 0,5 мг/л та бензиламінопурину (БАП) з концентрацією від 0,5 до 1,5 мг/л. Усього було дев'ять варіантів досліду. Встановлено, що найефективнішим був варіант, у якому в середовище додавали 0,5 мг/л НОК і 1 мг/л БАП.

Досліджено та узагальнено значення збереженості та життєвого стану сіянців з урахуванням впливу складу субстрату коренезакриваючої грудки контейнера. Дослідним шляхом проаналізовано вісім варіантів субстратів: чотири двокомпонентних торфовмісних та чотири трикомпонентних тирсо-перегноєвмісних. Встановлено комплексну перевагу над контролем за названими вище біометричними показниками варіантів із використанням торфу з базовим ґрунтом в субстраті Тф : Ґ – 1 : 1 та найбільшою мірою варіанта з використанням ґрунту, перегною й тирси у пропорціях частин 6 : 3 : 1. Результати досліджень із визначення оптимального складу субстрату для вирощування сіянців сосни звичайної із закритою кореневою системою підтвердили високі показники схожості, отримані у варіантах з використанням трикомпонентних сумішей перегною, тирси та темно-сірого опідзоленого середньо суглинкового лісового ґрунту на лесах. Серед випробуваних субстратів при об'ємі контейнера 500 см3 за комплексом переваг за досліджуваними показниками схожості, збережуваності та стану торфовмісний варіант із рівними частинами темно-сірого лісового середньо суглинкового опідзоленого ґрунту та торфу (Тф : Ґ – 1 : 1) та варіант трикомпонентної суміші Ґ : П : Т – 6 : 3 : 1 є найбільш збалансованими за основними ґрунтовими параметрами та найбільш оптимальними з досліджуваних для продуктивного росту сіянців сосни звичайної із закритою кореневою системою. Темно-сірі лісові опідзолені середньо суглинкові ґрунти на лесах за рівнем потенційної родючості є одними з найродючіших ґрунтів України. Їх формування відбувалося під достатньо розрідженими широколистяними лісами з добре розвиненим трав'яним покривом на важко глинистих карбонатних лесах. Поєднання таких факторів ґрунтоутворення, як наявність значної кількості високо зольного органічного опаду, а також материнської породи, насиченої кальцієм та глинистими частками, надає темно-сірим опідзоленим ґрунтам високої поживної здатності.

Встановлено, що можливість виконання автомобілем перевізницьких функцій з урахуванням умов експлуатації, заданого інтервалу часу або пробігу характеризується безвідмовністю, як однією з властивостей надійності. Одним з показників цієї властивості є ймовірність безвідмовної роботи, що визначається за результатами попередньо проведених експериментальних спостережень за певними вузлами або системами автомобіля. Характерним випадком може бути відмова будь-якого елемента автомобіля, що призведе до виходу з ладу всього об'єкта. Прикладом можуть бути: привод автомобіля, гальмівна система, підвіска тощо. Відмови таких елементів можна розрахувати з використанням одного із законів розподілу ймовірностей – розподілу Пуассона, що використовують до елементів (систем) з великим числом можливих подій, кожна із яких рідко трапляється. Цей розподіл у практиці експлуатації можна застосувати для встановлення таких взаємозв'язків: кількість відмов для групи одночасно працюючих автомобілів за даний проміжок часу (або напрацювання), кількість дорожньо-транспортних пригод, кількість автомобілів, які надходять в зону обслуговування (ремонту) за одиницю часу, кількість запасних частин, що отримують зі складу тощо. Ймовірність пуассонівського розподілу використано у розрахунках відмов підвісок автомобілів. З'ясовано, що пневматичні підвіски сучасних великих автобусів є складними багатовузловими технічними системами, у яких можуть виникати відмови різних видів у процесі роботи. Надійна робота підвіски значною мірою залежить від багатьох чинників, що мають складний і багатопрофільний характер. Наявність даних про відмови у підвісці дає змогу здійснити їх систематизацію, встановити причини і розробити заходи щодо їх усунення, до прикладу, коригуванням термінів виконання профілактичних робіт. Ще одним вирішенням проблеми підтримання надійності підвіски автобусів є розроблення методики (закону) матеріально-технічного постачання. Вона передбачає виділення в окрему групу постійно замінюваних конструктивних елементів, кількість запасу яких потребує використання інформації про інтенсивності потоків відмов та їх поєднання з розрахунками. Одним із способів керування надійністю підвіски пропонуємо використання розробленої методики, яка дасть змогу мінімізувати їх кількість.

Tanshinone is a herbal medicinal compound described in Chinese medicine, extracted from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen). This family of compounds, including Tanshinone IIA and Tanshinone I, have shown remarkable potential as anti-cancer molecules, especially against breast, cervical, colorectal, gastric, lung, and prostate cancer cell lines, as well as leukaemia, melanoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma among others. Recent data has indicated that Tanshinones can modulate multiple molecular pathways such as PI3K/Akt, MAPK and JAK/STAT3, and exert their pharmacological effects against different malignancies. In addition, preclinical and clinical data, together with the safety profile of Tanshinones, encourage further applications of these compounds in cancer therapeutics. In this review article, the effect of Tanshinones on different cancers, challenges in their pharmacological development, and opportunities to harness their clinical potential have been documented.
Modeling test learning and dual-task dissociations
Authors: Johansson Tobias
Published: June 2020

Much of cognitive psychology is premised on the distinction between automatic and intentional processes, but the distinction often remains vague in practice and alternative explanations are often not followed through. For example, Hendricks, Conway and Kellogg (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 39, 491–1500, 2013) found that dual tasks at training versus at test dissociated performance in two different artificial grammar learning tasks. This was taken as evidence for underlying automatic and intentional processes. In this article, a different explanation is considered based on test learning and similarity, where participants are assumed to update their knowledge at test. Contrasting formal memory models of test learning are implemented, and it is concluded that the models account for the relevant dissociations without assuming a distinction between automatic and intentional processes.

Orden-desorden y ordenamiento territorial como tecnología de gobierno
Authors: Arzeno Mariana
Published: June 2020

El artículo se propone, a partir de una amplia revisión bibliográfica, reflexionar críticamente sobre el ordenamiento territorial, problematizando las formas en que suelen ser definidos los problemas y propuestas de ordenamiento, tanto desde el ámbito público como desde la academia. A partir de una reflexión teórica respecto del estado y las ideas de orden-desorden, márgenes del estado, espacio-contraespacio, propone pensar el ordenamiento territorial como una dimensión intrínseca de la producción del espacio y como tecnología de gobierno, para finalmente plantear algunos interrogantes que pueden desprenderse de esta perspectiva.
Fenómeno financiero y usos del territorio: finanzas, crédito y consumo en Argentina (2001-2016)
Authors: Parserisas Derlis Daniela
Published: June 2020

En el territorio nacional y en las ciudades coexisten diversas divisiones territoriales del trabajo que pueden ser pensadas como circuitos de la economía urbana. Podemos reconocer una división territorial del trabajo hegemónica vinculada al circuito superior, cuyo motor es la finanza, que se impone a las demás. Sin embargo en las otras formas de trabajar, aunque la finanza es importante, existe una subordinación a los modos de circulación del dinero que se da a través de instrumentos financieros tales como préstamos, tarjetas de crédito y tasas de interés elevadas. El objetivo del trabajo consiste en analizar la relación entre el fenómeno financiero y el territorio en Argentina. Se hace énfasis en la difusión de las finanzas en las ciudades, a través de bancos y otros actores financieros del circuito superior involucrados en la oferta de créditos para consumo.

Indonesia has been experiencing rising animal source food prices during the last five years (decade).
In this paper we explore how changes of animal source food prices impact on their demand Indonesia 2016 as expressed in income
and price elasticities. Take into account for changes in consumption patterns, as expressed in substitution and complement effects
among food items, by including own and cross price elasticities obtained through the parameter estimation of a demand system using
QUAIDS. With respect to the total animal food expenditure, chicken meat, beef, fish and milk are luxury goods, while (only) egg is
normal goods. The luxuriousness of chicken meat, beef, fish and milk powder decrease with increasing household income level as
expressed in quintile level. The results also show that consumers substitute high value commodities such as chicken meat, beef,
fishes and powdered milk in case of rising prices with the cheaper and lower preferences. Consequently, households consume a less
diversified diet in times of high animal source food prices, focusing their diet on cheaper animal source food commodities. High
value animal source foods play an important role in a diversified and nutritionally balanced diet, since they are rich in proteins
and essential amino acid. Animal source food “inflation”, which has been led by high value animal agricultural commodities,
therefore threatens to worsen the nutritional status of the Indonesian consumer, especially the lower income level.
