A hybrid neural network – world cup optimization algorithm for melanoma detection
Authors: Razmjooy Navid , Sheykhahmad Fatima Rashid , Ghadimi Noradin 
Published: March 2018

AbstractOne of the most dangerous cancers in humans is Melanoma. However, early detection of melanoma can help us to cure it completely. This paper presents a new efficient method to detect malignancy in melanoma via images. At first, the extra scales are eliminated by using edge detection and smoothing. Afterwards, the proposed method can be utilized to segment the cancer images. Finally, the extra information is eliminated by morphological operations and used to focus on the area which melanoma boundary potentially exists. To do this, World Cup Optimization algorithm is utilized to optimize an MLP neural Networks (ANN). World Cup Optimization algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which is recently presented and has a good performance in some optimization problems. WCO is a derivative-free, Meta-Heuristic algorithm, mimicking the world’s FIFA competitions. World cup Optimization algorithm is a global search algorithm while gradient-based back propagation method is local search. In this proposed algorithm, multi-layer perceptron network (MLP) employs the problem’s constraints and WCO algorithm attempts to minimize the root mean square error. Experimental results show that the proposed method can develop the performance of the standard MLP algorithm significantly.
Picosecond optical pulse processing using a terahertz-bandwidth reconfigurable photonic integrated circuit

Published: March 2018

AbstractChip-scale integrated optical signal processors promise to support a multitude of signal processing functions with bandwidths beyond the limit of microelectronics. Previous research has made great contributions in terms of demonstrating processing functions and device building blocks. Currently, there is a significant interest in providing functional reconfigurability, to match a key advantage of programmable microelectronic processors. To advance this concept, in this work, we experimentally demonstrate a photonic integrated circuit as an optical signal processor with an unprecedented combination of two key features: reconfigurability and terahertz bandwidth. These features enable a variety of processing functions on picosecond optical pulses using a single device. In the experiment, we successfully verified clock rate multiplication, arbitrary waveform generation, discretely and continuously tunable delays, multi-path combining and bit-pattern recognition for 1.2-ps-duration optical pulses at 1550 nm. These results and selected head-to-head comparisons with commercially available devices show our device to be a flexible integrated platform for ultrahigh-bandwidth optical signal processing and point toward a wide range of applications for telecommunications and beyond.
Faktizität als theologische Kategorie
Authors: Ohly Lukas 
Published: March 2018

Zusammenfassung„Faktizität“ bezeichnet in der Fundamentaltheologie der Systematischen Theologie von Eilert Herms das zu-verstehen Gegebensein von etwas, das sich kategorial vom zu-verstehen Gegebenen (Faktum) unterscheidet. Herms erweitert hier eine Einsicht des „schlechthinigen Abhängigkeitsgefühls“ Friedrich Schleiermachers. Obwohl diese Erweiterung eine wichtige Entdeckung für die Fundamentaltheologie darstellt, wird der Begriff der Faktizität bei Herms mit Bedeutungen überfrachtet. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass theologische Topoi, die Herms zu Implikationen der Faktizität erhebt, anderen Momenten der Gotteserfahrung zuzuschreiben sind, um Kategoriefehlern zu vermeiden.
By All Means Necessary – 2.5D and 3D Recording of Surfaces in the Study of Southern Scandinavian Rock Art
Authors: Horn Christian , Ling Johan , Bertilsson Ulf , Potter Rich 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
Southern Scandinavia is Europe’s richest region in terms of figurative rock art. It is imperative to document this cultural heritage for future generations. To achieve this, researchers need to use the most objective recording methods available in order to eliminate human error and bias in the documentation. The ability to collect more data is better, not only for documentation, but also for research purposes. Recent years have seen the wider introduction of image based 2.5D and 3D modelling of rock art surfaces. These methods are Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), Structure from Motion (SfM), and Optical Laser Scanning (OLS). Importantly, these approaches record depth difference and the structure of engraved lines. Therefore, they have clear advantages over older methods such as frottage (rubbings) and tracing. Based on a number of short case studies, this paper argues that 2.5D and 3D methods should be used as a standard documentation techniques, but not in an exclusionary manner. The best documentation, enabling preservation and high-quality research, should employ all methods. Approaching rock art with all the research tools available we can re-appraise older documentation as well as investigate individual action and the transformation of rock art.

Necrosemiosis: The CSI effect
Authors: Gumpert Matthew 
Published: March 2018

Abstract
One might have thought a television genre featuring the human body as the clue to a crime, a sign to be interpreted, was an opportunity to dramatize the struggle of the human intellect in its battle with the unknown. But on CSI this human struggle is supplanted by various prosthetic mechanisms: all-seeing, all-knowing technologies for which there are no mysteries. CSI’s technologies of truth render the human struggle obsolete, and turn forensics as an essentially semiotic labor – the reading of recalcitrant signs – into a charade, a placebo, a perfunctory performance designed to distract us from the real and more sordid work being done. This is the work of necrosemiosis, the displaying and disposing of dead signs – signs with nothing left to signify. Criticism inspired by the CSI effect attempts to debunk CSI’s scientific credentials, or its appeal to jurisprudence. Science (or the law), these studies suggest, is the screen CSI hides behind in order to engage in other, less savory practices (sadism, voyeurism, pornography, etc.). Left unexamined is the possibility that these same practices are also screens in their own right, obscuring the very signifying practices that make them possible: the life and death of signs and sign-systems. This article argues that the body whose death CSI so sanctimoniously mourns, whose dissection it so languorously dwells upon is, finally, that of the sign itself. It is because CSI deals in the signs of carcasses – in human bodies – that we can see them as the carcasses of signs. CSI is not interested in signs as signifying entities; it traffics in the remnants of signs, signs post mortem. This is the essence of necrosemiosis on CSI, which offers not the semiotics of death, but the death of semiotics.

Authors: Albayrak Sevil , Kaya Onur 
Published: March 2018

Abstract

Objective
The objective of the present study was to investigate the phenolic compositions, antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of four Astragalus species, two of which are endemic to Turkish flora.

Methods
The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of methanol extracts obtained from four Astragalus species were detected using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride colorimetric assays. Their phenolic compositions were identified by Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The antioxidant activity was assayed with phosphomolybdenum, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide scavenging, β-carotene bleaching activity, ferric-ion reducing power (FRAP) and cupric ions (Cu2+) reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) methods. Antimicrobial activities of the extracts were studied by agar well-diffusion assay. The cytotoxic effects of the extracts on MCF-7 (human breast cancer cell lines) were determined by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide) method.

Results
The extracts exerted moderate antioxidant and reducing activity with low phenolic contents. The main component in the extracts was determined as ferulic acid. The extracts demonstrated no antibacterial activity except P. aeruginosa. A. talasseus showed the highest cytotoxic activity on MCF-7 during 48 h.

Conclusion
It is believed that the results of this study will contribute to research recently increasing for the use of natural antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds in many industrial fields such as food, pharmacy and medicine.

Abstract
Micropiles, which are small-diameter deep foundation solutions with diameters that can measure up to 300 mm, are often used to reinforce new and existing foundations. Their use in the foundations of structures with high eccentricity, such as wind towers when subjected to wind loads, may lead to more efficient and economical solutions. As the new generation of wind towers will reach more than 150 m tall, very large and uneconomical gravity foundations are required. In regions of high seismicity this problem is aggravated. To evaluate the behavior of micropiles under variable loading and predict the improvement of the reinforced solution, load tests were performed on steel micropiles under controlled laboratory conditions. A total of 36 tests were conducted on 3-m-long pipe micropiles, both while isolated and in 2 by 2 groups, with three different spacings. The micropiles were installed in a cylindrical container filled with calibrated sand and tested under monotonic and cyclic loading, first without grout, then when low-pressure grouted and retested, with the aim to evaluate the improvement caused by the grout injection, the micropile spacing, and application of cyclic loading both in terms of resistance and stiffness. An improvement both in stiffness and resistance due to the grouting was obtained and, for the applied cyclic loading, there was no clear reduction in micropile cyclic stiffness. The presented results provide a tool for the calibration of numerical models to estimate the behavior of real-scale micropiles installed in higher density sand.
