Abstract
Two animal manure sources (swine and sheep / goat manures) each at 5 Mt·ha−1, were applied in mono- and intercropped maize (Zea mays L.) and groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.). A general control (no manure treatment of the component crops was established) for productivity assessment. The trial, conducted at the Federal College of Agriculture, Ishiagu (04º 30′ N, 06º 45′ E, 150 m above sea level), in the derived savannah plains, Ishiagu, Nigeria in 2012 and 2013 mid-cropping seasons used a randomised complete block design with three replications. It assessed the agronomic performance, cropping system (CS) and plant nutrient (PN) productivity of maize-groundnut in mono-and intercrop as influenced by two animal manure sources. The two-year combined analysis indicated that animal manure sources significantly (P < 0.05) increased growth and yield components of the crop species in the systems. Swine manure application gave the significantly (P < 0.05) highest maize grain yield in both mono- and intercropped strategies in contrast to sheep / goat manure that had the highest grain yield in both cropping strategies in groundnut. The biological and economic productivity indices of the cropping system (CS) and plant nutrient (PN) indicated that the application of sheep / goat manure in the maize / groundnut mixture exhibited greater intercrop advantage whose total CS and PN land equivalent ratios (LERs) were higher by 4.79% and 13.57%, respectively, relative to swine manure application. Therefore, the application of animal manure demands encouragement in maize-groundnut intercrop, especially sheep / goat manure as it enhances crop yield, food security and protein intake of people living in Sub-Saharan Africa practicing different strokes of farming system technology. The results of this study showed that intercropping system exhibited positive growth, yield, biological and economic advantages over monocropping of the component species. The study further indicated that intercropped maize / groundnut that received sheep / goat manure exhibited the highest cropping system and plant nutrient yield advantage and agronomic efficiency compared to swine manure alone under the same environment.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Hand gesture detection and recognition is a cutting-edge technology that is getting progressively applicable in several applications, including the recent trends namely Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. It is a key part of Human-Computer Interaction which gives an approach to two-way interaction between the computer and the user. Currently, this technology is limited to expensive and highly specialized equipment and gadgets such as Kinect and the Oculus Rift. In this paper, various technologies and methodologies of implementing a gesture detection and recognition system are discussed. The paper also includes the implementation of a face recognition module using the Viola-Jones Algorithm for authentication of the system followed by hand gesture recognition using CNN to perform basic operations on the laptop. Any type of user can use gesture control as an alternative and interesting way to control their laptop. Furthermore, this can be used as a prototype for future implementations in the field of virtual reality as well as augmented reality.
On the quasi-Fredholm and Saphar spectrum of strongly continuous Cosine operator function
Authors: Boua Hamid 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Let (C(t))t

∈𝕉 be a strongly continuous cosine family and A be its infinitesimal generator. In this work, we prove that, if C(t) – coshλt is Saphar (resp. quasi-Fredholm) operator and λt /∉iπ𝕑, then A – λ2 is also Saphar (resp. quasi-Fredholm) operator. We show by counter-example that the converse is false in general.
Using Game Theory in Public Domains: The Potential and Limitations of Security Games
Authors: Špačková Zuzana , Špaček David 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Since its origins, when it was mainly connected to the field of economics, game theory has brought important theoretic insights into many domains. Besides biology, philosophy or computer science, its findings have been applied to various fields of public policy. One specific area of public policy is that of security. Within the last two decades we have been witnesses to a significant increase in efforts to model security issues using tools of game theory and to derive political implications. The paper deals with the model of a Stackelberg security game and its real-world applications in security domains. The main aim and purpose of the paper is to provide a survey of selected cases of real-world deployed applications of the game-theoretic Stackelberg model in the area of public security and, based on the literature analysis, to discuss the potential and limitations of the model for policy- and decision-makers that are dealing with security measures on various governmental levels. Existing cases clearly indicate that the model can contribute to a better design and implementation of the security policy and help implement a better allocation of resources and thus potentially improve the effectiveness of security measures. On the other hand, the paper also discusses some limitations and potential future adjustments of the model together with points for further research.

Authors: Dossani Rimal H. , Waqas Muhammad , Rai Hamid Hussain , Tso Michael K. , Rajah Gary B. , Siddiqui Adnan H. 
Published: December 2020

Background:
Tigertriever (Rapid Medical, Sunrise, FL) is an adjustable-diameter stent retriever that is being tested in an investigational device exemption clinical trial, Treatment with Intent to Generate Reperfusion (TIGER). The retriever is available in three lengths with corresponding adjustable diameters; however, a single device cannot be used for multiple thrombectomy attempts. A clicker-based expansion mechanism allows incremental expansion of the retriever and step-wise increase in radial force to the parent vessel diameter. The clicker mechanism is used to expand the stent retriever until it is apposed with the vessel walls. Rest of the procedure is similar to a mechanical thrombectomy performed with a conventional stent retriever and is demonstrated in the video.

Case Description:
We present a case of a 59-year-old woman who presented with left-upper extremity weakness, facial droop, and hemineglect. Perfusion imaging demonstrated increased time-to-peak. Angiography showed right internal carotid artery terminus occlusion. The patient underwent successful mechanical thrombectomy (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2b reperfusion) using the Tigertriever and was discharged home without any perioperative complications.

Conclusion:
An adjustable, expandable stent retriever allows operator to size the stent retriever to match the target artery diameter. The expandable design of stent retriever has potential implications for distal vessel occlusion mechanical thrombectomy.

Published: December 2020

Background:
Cavernous malformations generally occur in brain parenchyma but rarely these lesions arise from cranial nerves (CNs).

Case Description:
This paper described a case of a woman presented with III CN dysfunction due to the presence of a right III CN cavernoma. Surgical treatment with nerve sparing gross total resection was performed. A 3-month follow-up was documented.

Conclusion:
Only few cases of CNs cavernomas have been described in the literature. These lesions have been described to show a more aggressive behavior compared to intraparenchymal cavernomas, especially in symptomatic patients. Differential diagnosis and surgical treatment could be challenging, especially trying to preserve nerve integrity and function.

Published: December 2020

Vocabulary and grammar are the most essential components of all use of language as they have to be taught to the language learner to support to the development of the four skills, especially for writing skills Richard (1987:45). Unfortunately, Grammar has been believed as the most terrific problem for most of adolescence learners. They were terrific to construct wrong order of sentence (grammar) and this problem will effect on creating ideas in writing. This case indicates that grammar should be mastered by English learners especially students who want to create ideas in writing. Teacher races game provides a series of fun activity, and gives all the members’ opportunity to work cooperatively (Smith, 2008). This game can fulfill teacher’s need that is link and integrate four basics English language skills—listening, speaking, reading and writing skills into learning and teaching activity. This study was an experimental quantitative study which needs two subject groups – experimental and control group. The population chosen is one state junior high school in Surabaya. The simple random samples used; and VIII C as an experimental class and VIII A as a control class. The pre-test and post-test were given to both of the groups. Tests consist of tryout, pre-test and post-test that were used to collect the data. According to the collected data, the researcher made statistical calculation by using t-test and analysis to answer the research question. Ttest results were examined to know the comparison of experimental and control groups’ mean. The ttest of pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental and control group presented tvalue10.93. Meanwhile, the tvalue for rejecting the null hypothesis with df 50 at t.05 was 2.009. It indicated that tvalue > than tvalue (10.93>2.009) so that it can be concluded that null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

Margondang belonging to the ethnic of Angkola, becomes an important part of a celebration, especially in a wedding. Traditionally Angkola Ethnic Wedding can be said to be invalid if both families, either from the groom's family or the bride’s do not carry out this Margondang tradition. At the very first glance Margondang is a traditional dance called a tortor having movements as a medium of communication on moral values, intended not only for the bride and groom to live together, but for all the guests and participants present to be more sensitive in carrying out life. Sensitivity here is certainly related to the harmonious relationship among humans and between humans with nature so that prosperous and peaceful life can be obtained. This is the core of the implementation of Margondang tradition. This study aims at analysing the moral values of Margondang, conducted by means of descriptive qualitative research method. Data collection procedures are supported by observation, interview and questionnaire techniques, covering 20 respondents chosen randomly in randomly-selected weddings in Medan. The results show that there are three points of moral value in Margondang: brotherhood, respect and responsibility.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Focused ion beam (FIB) techniques are often used when delayering semiconductor devices. However, using FIB technology for device delayering has limitations. One of these limitations prevents the exposure of a large slope area on the sample, which reveals all layers simultaneously. The delayering process is complex and requires prior process knowledge, such as cross-section architecture, composition, and layer uniformity. This paper discusses advances in semiconductor device deprocessing for product development, failure analysis, and quality control using low-energy, argon broad ion beam (BIB) milling. Ar BIB milling is a practical solution for accurate delayering of advanced microelectronic devices. Results of the spot milling of a whole 300 mm wafer experiment and top-down delayering of wafer pieces experiment show that successful device delayering can be achieved by either spot milling or layer-by-layer milling. These two strategies are easily achieved, for either small wafer pieces or full 300 mm wafer investigation.
