Background/Aim
To train and validate the prediction performance of the deep learning (DL)
model to predict visual field (VF) in central 10° from spectral domain optical
coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods
This multicentre, cross-sectional study included paired Humphrey field
analyser (HFA) 10-2 VF and SD-OCT measurements from 591 eyes of 347 patients
with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or normal subjects for the training data set. We
trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) for predicting VF threshold (TH)
sensitivity values from the thickness of the three macular layers: retinal
nerve fibre layer, ganglion cell layer+inner plexiform layer and outer
segment+retinal pigment epithelium. We implemented pattern-based regularisation
on top of CNN to avoid overfitting. Using an external testing data set of 160
eyes of 131 patients with OAG, the prediction performance (absolute error (AE)
and R2 between predicted and actual TH values) was
calculated for (1) mean TH in whole VF and (2) each TH of 68 points. For
comparison, we trained support vector machine (SVM) and multiple linear
regression (MLR).

Results
AE of whole VF with CNN was 2.84±2.98 (mean±SD) dB, significantly smaller
than those with SVM (5.65±5.12 dB) and MLR (6.96±5.38 dB) (all, p<0.001).
Mean of point-wise mean AE with CNN was 5.47±3.05 dB, significantly smaller
than those with SVM (7.96±4.63 dB) and MLR (11.71±4.15 dB) (all, p<0.001).
R2 with CNN was 0.74 for the mean TH of whole VF, and
0.44±0.24 for the overall 68 points.

Conclusion
DL model showed considerably accurate prediction of HFA 10-2 VF from
SD-OCT.
A $$\phi ^6$$ soliton with a long-range tail
Authors: Amado André , Mohammadi Azadeh 
Published: June 2020

AbstractWe propose an analytically solvable sextic potential model with non-trivial soliton solutions connecting the trivial vacua. The model does not respect parity symmetry, and like $$\phi ^4$$ϕ4 theory has two minima. The soliton solutions and the consequent results are obtained in terms of the Lambert W function, i.e., the inverse function of $$f(W) = We^W$$f(W)=WeW. They have power-law asymptotics at one spatial infinity and exponential asymptotics at the other. We compare the solution with the kink of $$\phi ^4$$ϕ4 theory, which preserves the parity symmetry and has exponential asymptotics at both spatial infinities. Moreover, we study the full spectrum (bound and continuum states) of boson and fermion fields in the presence of the proposed soliton. We consider two types of coupling for the boson–soliton interaction and Yukawa coupling for the fermion–soliton interaction. Most results are derived analytically. This property renders the model a fertile ground for further study, including parity breaking related phenomena and long-range soliton–soliton interactions.

Published: June 2020

In this paper, a complete design and implementation of an automatic Multi-Axis solar tracking system has been introduced. The main purpose of this system is to track Sun location and gain the maximum energy output of the solar panels. The system is Multi-axis using microcontroller and photocells to control the direction of the penal, whereas the penal is facing the sun at all times of the day. The system is a combination of hardware and software parts that work concurrently to achieve a precise angular Sun tracking. A Base, Penal Frame, Super Jack Motors, high-efficiency Solar Panel, Arduino Uno microcontroller, Relays, Rechargeable battery, Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) have been used for the system’s hardware part. These hardware parts need a high-level programming code, as a software part, to be embedded in the microcontroller to get an effective and precise solar tracking system. The results of the presented system were compared to a fixed direction system. The results show significant efficiency improvement of 24% over the static one. For a city like Ramadi, which has a high irradiance all over the year, it is very fruitful to use such tracking systems along with photovoltaic installation systems.<div align="center"> </div>

Published: June 2020

<span lang="EN-US">The information in the e-health system involves the patient’s privacy which is extremely sensitive. For instance, these information record social security numbers and detailed medical history. When the breach happens, there are illegal, or disclosure behaviors taken to privacy that should be compromised security. In this paper, the medical digital images are protected by the proposed chaos-based encryption method in the process of transmission and utilization. Then the authentication is granted to patients and telemedicine staffs by the decryption method proposed. The Qi 3-D four wing chaotic system is employed in this method. The proposed method promises the keys with higher complexity and unpredictability than traditional cryptography methods by introducing the chaotic dynamics in the new cryptography. Digital medical images are used to validate the proposed method under the brute and the differential attacks. The pixels of the image are scrambled completely based on cat map and the sub-blocks of the image are diffused in the way that the original image is changed into a chaotic image robust to all kinds of attacks. The experiments show that the proposed method has higher performance and higher computation for decryption.</span>
Dynamic spectrum access using markov chain technique for regional area network
Authors: Pawar Jayant P , V. Ingole Prashant 
Published: June 2020

<p>Cognitive Radio Network is the effective solution to the spectrum scarcity. Dynamic spectrum access is a paradigm used to access the spectrum dynamically. A Markov Chain is a stochastic model describing a sequence of possible events in which probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event. We model the dynamics of cognitive user with 2-D Markov chain. The resource distribution probability (RDP) verses addition/ elimination rate of the channels in the network is also plotted. The RDP verses utilization factor of the queue, which is the secondary user in the network, is also plotted. This plot helps to maintain the total arrival and departure rate based on the RDP. The base station of the network will use this relation to maintain the proper RDP for the devices. The dynamics of each cognitive user and its correlation with Markov Chain is an interesting approach. Here we considered the DSA at Base Station as a Markov chain and analyzed it. This analysis helps us to determine the behavior of the cognitive radio and also helps to find the fault in the cognitive devices. </p>

Authors: Song Doo Heon , Rhee Hae Kyung , Kim Jeong Hoon 
Published: June 2020

<span>Female gamers are growing rapidly worldwide especially in young age groups and in mobile platform. Since that population change appears in recent 10 years, formerly male-oriented gaming community has confronted gender issues. In this paper, we witness that a strong gender stereotype exists for both genders in Korea by two surveys. In the first survey, subjects show that they have different expectations of opposite gender’s favorable game style where both genders have exactly same favorite styles. In the second survey, we investigate how members of hostile sexism community groups choose teammates in Overwatch game if they have privilege to select teammates for specific roles. Ilbe and Womad as two far extreme misogyny and misandry groups show hostile sexism in teammate selection. The result implies that hostile sexism and gender stereotype shown in game playing may be induced from other social factors than the amount of the game playing experiences. </span>

Published: June 2020

<p>This work suggests several multi-step three-term Conjugate Gradient (CG)-algorithms that satisfies their sufficient descent property and conjugacy conditions. First, we have considered a number of well-known three-term CG-method, and we have, therefore, suggested two new classes of this type of algorithms which was based on Hestenes and Stiefel (HS) and Polak-Ribière (PR) formulas with four different versions. Both descent and conjugacy conditions for all the proposed algorithms are satisfied, at each iteration by using the strong Wolfe line search condition and it's accelerated version. These new suggested algorithms are some sort of modifications to the original HS and PR methods. These CG-algorithms are considered as a sort of the memoryless BFGS update. All of our new suggested methods are proved to be a global convergent and numerically, more efficient than the similar methods in same area based on our selected set of used numerical problems.</p>

Die Zeit im Bild
Authors: Witulski Thomas 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In this article, the question is discussed if at least some passages of the apocalyptic main part of Revelation, which is full of metaphorical imagery, conveys content that referred to contemporary history. The analysis of chosen passages of early Jewish and early Christian apocalyptic literature shows that it is principally conceivable that apocalyptic texts informed by metaphorical imagery can make reference to facts of contemporary history. The interpretation of Rev 13:18 and 17:9a lead to the conclusion that the text Rev 13–17 as a whole, but also the texts Rev 11:1–14 and Rev 17:7–9a, 9b–14 directly reflect persons, events and circumstances of the time of the composition of Revelation.
Cautious about Conatives
Authors: Malone Andrew S. 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
It has long been recognized that the imperfect and present tenses can communicate a conative sense. The category is sufficiently established that New Testament commentaries can brusquely identify “a conative imperfect” or “imperfectum de conatu” as if (1) the terminology conveys a uniform meaning and (2) such meaning is established by the verb’s tense. A fresh inspection of the phenomenon suggests neither assumption is accurate. With worked examples we can observe that at least two competing nuances are understood by the label “conative” and that the verb’s tense is far from the determinative factor. Whether in generating claims about the conative sense or in digesting others’ analyses, interpreters need to be alert to the pitfalls associated with this category.

Published: June 2020

Background Data regarding the effect of conversion from minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to laparotomy in rectal cancer is limited. This study examines the impact of conversion from laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques to open resection on oncologic outcomes in a large population database. Methods The National Cancer Database from 2010 to 2016 was reviewed for all cases of invasive adenocarcinoma of the rectum or rectosigmoid junction managed surgically. Patients were divided into 3 cohorts by approach: laparoscopic/robotic (MIS), converted proctectomy (CP), and open proctectomy (OP). Kaplan–Meier estimation was used for unadjusted survival analysis, followed by adjusted multivariable Cox-Proportional Hazards regression. Secondary outcomes were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression. Results The inclusion criteria identified 57 574 patients cases of adenocarcinoma of the rectum managed surgically. Of these patients, 23 579 (41.0%) underwent MIS, 3591 (6.2%) CP, and 30 404 (52.8%) OP. Five-year overall survival was greater in the MIS (70.4%) versus CP and OP (64.4% and 61.4%). No differences were detected for positive margins, 30-day, or 90-day mortality between CP and OP. MIS and CP approaches were significantly associated with increased odds of 12 or more regional lymph nodes examined and decreased overall mortality hazard compared with OP (all respective significant P < .05). Discussion While similar odds of positive margins and short-term mortality is seen in patients whose procedure converts to laparotomy compared with planned laparotomy, both short-term and long-term oncologic benefit is seen in those who undergo a minimally invasive approach. Thus, a minimally invasive approach should be attempted for patients with rectal cancer.

Background: During the terminal withdrawal of life-sustaining measures for intensive care patients, the removal of respiratory support remains an ambiguous practice. Globally, perceptions and experiences of best practice vary due to the limited evidence in this area. Aim: To identify, appraise and synthesise the latest evidence around terminal withdrawal of mechanical ventilation in adult intensive care units specific to perceptions, experiences and practices. Design: Mixed methods systematic review and narrative synthesis. A review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42018086495). Data sources: Four electronic databases were systematically searched (Medline, Embase, CENTRAL and CINAHL). Obtained articles published between January 2008 and January 2020 were screened for eligibility. All included papers were appraised using relevant appraisal tools. Results: Twenty-five papers were included in the review. Findings from the included papers were synthesised into four themes: ‘clinicians’ perceptions and practices’; ‘time to death and predictors’; ‘analgesia and sedation practices’; ‘physiological and psychological impact’. Conclusions: Perceptions, experiences and practices of terminal withdrawal of mechanical ventilation vary significantly across the globe. Current knowledge highlights that the time to death after withdrawal of mechanical ventilation is very short. Predictors for shorter duration could be considered by clinicians and guide the choice of pharmacological interventions to address distressing symptoms that patients may experience. Clinicians ought to prepare patients, families and relatives for the withdrawal process and the expected progression and provide them with immediate and long-term support following withdrawal. Further research is needed to improve current evidence and better inform practice guidelines.
