Traffic Information Enrichment: Creating Long-Term Traffic Speed Prediction Ensemble Model for Better Navigation through Waypoints


Abstract: Traffic speed prediction for a selected road segment from a short-term and long-term perspective is among the fundamental issues of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). During the course of the past two decades, many artefacts (e.g., models) have been designed dealing with traffic speed prediction. However, no satisfactory solution has been found for the issue of a long-term prediction for days and weeks using the vast spatial and temporal data. This article aims to introduce a long-term traffic speed prediction ensemble model using country-scale historic traffic data from 37,002 km of roads, which constitutes 66% of all roads in the Czech Republic. The designed model comprises three submodels and combines parametric and nonparametric approaches in order to acquire a good-quality prediction that can enrich available real-time traffic information. Furthermore, the model is set into a conceptual design which expects its usage for the improvement of navigation through waypoints (e.g., delivery service, goods distribution, police patrol) and the estimated arrival time. The model validation is carried out using the same network of roads, and the model predicts traffic speed in the period of 1 week. According to the performed validation of average speed prediction at a given hour, it can be stated that the designed model achieves good results, with mean absolute error of 4.67 km/h. The achieved results indicate that the designed solution can effectively predict the long-term speed information using large-scale spatial and temporal data, and that this solution is suitable for use in ITS.

title: Data from: Contrasting per-gram competitive and soil resource effects in grasses and woody plants

description: 1. Plant species differ in their competitive effects by decreasing
 resource availability via uptake, but in some cases may increase resource
 availability via non-uptake pathways. Here we explore differences between
 grasses and woody plants in their competitive effects, and relate these to
 differences in resource effects. 2. We grew five species each of grasses
 and woody plants in monocultures for eight years. In the final two growing
 seasons, competitive effects were measured by growing transplants in all
 monocultures and in plots without neighbours. 3. Total competitive effects
 were significantly greater for woody plants than grasses. In contrast, the
 competitive effect per gram of grasses was about 17 times greater than
 that of woody plants. 4. For grasses, soil water and soil available N
 decreased significantly with increasing biomass. In contrast, for woody
 plants, soil water and soil available N increased significantly with
 increasing biomass. The results suggest that the intense per-gram
 competitive effects in grasses is related to the uptake of soil resources,
 and that the significantly lower per-gram competitive effects of woody
 plants may be related to their positive effects on soil resources. 5.
 Synthesis. The results link differences in competitive effects between
 grasses and woody plants to differences in the direction of their effects
 on soil resources. These differences may contribute to the entrainment of
 negative feedback in grasslands, excluding trees by means of strong
 competition, and the entrainment of positive feedback beneath woody plants
 establishing in grasslands, resulting in a state change from grassland to
 woody vegetation.

title: HINC dataset from: Homeopathic treatment as an add-on therapy may improve quality of life and prolong survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, three-arm, multicenter study

description: Background: Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer
 (NSCLC) have limited treatment options. Alongside conventional anticancer
 treatment, additive homeopathy might help to alleviate side effects of
 conventional therapy. The aim of the present study was to investigate
 whether additive homeopathy might influence quality of life (QoL) and
 survival in NSCLC patients. Methods: In this prospective,
 randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, three-arm, multicenter,
 phase III study, we evaluated the possible effects of additive homeopathic
 treatment compared with placebo in NSCLC stage IV patients with respect to
 QoL in the two randomized groups and survival time in all three groups.
 Treated patients visited the outpatients’ centers every 9 weeks. 150
 Patients with stage IV NSCLC were included in the study. 98 received
 either individualized homeopathic remedies (n=51) or placebo (n=47) in a
 double-blinded fashion. 52 control patients without any homeopathic
 treatment were observed for survival only. The constituents of the
 different homeopathic remedies were mainly of plant, mineral or animal
 origin. The remedies were manufactured by stepwise dilution and
 succussion, thereby preparing stable Good Manufacturing Practice grade
 formulations. Results: QoL as well as functional and symptom
 scales showed significant improvement in the homeopathy group when
 compared with placebo after 9 and 18 weeks of homeopathic treatment
 (p&lt;0.001). Median survival time was significantly longer in the
 homeopathy group (435 days) vs placebo (257 days; p=0.010) as well as vs
 control (228 days; p&lt;0.001). Survival rate in the homeopathy group
 differed significantly from placebo (p=0.020) and from control
 (p&lt;0.001). Conclusion: QoL improved significantly in the
 homeopathy group compared with placebo. In addition, survival was
 significantly longer in the homeopathy group versus placebo and control. A
 higher QoL might have contributed to the prolonged survival. The study
 suggests that homeopathy positively influences not only QoL but also
 survival. Further studies including other tumor entities are warranted.

title: Data from: Modern pollen assemblages of the Neotropics

description: Aim: To provide a database of modern pollen abundances from a diversity of
 Neotropical locations. Location: The Neotropics, especially western
 Amazonia, the Andes, The Galápagos, Central America, Puerto Rico, and
 Mexico. Methods: Over a 30-year period, mud-water interface samples, moss
 polsters, soils, and pollen traps were used to assay modern pollen rain.
 Standard extraction methods were used and a minimum of 300 terrestrial
 pollen grains counted and identified per sample. Bioclimatic data were
 assigned to each location, and sexual traits and pollination syndromes are
 provided for some genera. A detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) shows
 the structuring of the data relative to mean annual temperatures (MAT),
 mean annual precipitation (MAP), and precipitation of the driest quarter
 (PDQ). Probability density functions of distances among samples are
 calculated within and between Holdridge Life Zones, based on sample DCA
 scores. Results: The modern pollen of 636 locations are documented, with
 &gt;500 pollen types identified. The dataset spans settings with MAT
 &lt; 5oC to &gt;25oC, and with MAP ranging from c. 500-5000 mm,
 and PDQ from 80 - 1500 mm. Ordination of the dataset provides evidence
 that assemblages differ according to temperature and precipitation,
 although historical biogeography also shapes pollen rains. The pollen
 grains of zoophilous species contribute important information to habitat
 descriptions, but they are under-represented in the dataset. Main
 conclusions: The dataset covers a broad environmental range and can help
 inform biogeographic and paleoenvironmental interpretation of
 paleoecological records. Some caution in using the data is needed as the
 field of tropical palynology is maturing and the data gathered 30 years
 ago are less detailed than those gathered recently. Although anemophilous
 taxa tend to be over-represented in neotropical pollen spectra, the
 majority of pollen identified in each sample are from zoophilous species.

title: Data from: Reprograming of epigenetic mechanisms controlling host insect immunity and development in response to egg-laying by a parasitoid wasp

description: Parasitoids are insects that use other insects as hosts. They sabotage
 host cellular and humoral defenses to promote the survival of their
 offspring by injecting viruses and venoms along with their eggs. Many
 pathogens and parasites disrupt host epigenetic mechanisms to overcome
 immune system defenses, and we hypothesized that parasitoids may utilize
 the same strategy. We used the ichneumon wasp Pimpla turionellae as a
 model idiobiont parasitoid to test this hypothesis, with pupae of the
 greater wax moth Galleria mellonella as the host. We found that parasitoid
 infestation involves the suppression of host immunity-related effector
 genes and the modulation of host genes involved in developmental hormone
 signaling. The transcriptional reprogramming of host genes following the
 injection of parasitoid eggs was associated with changes in host
 epigenetic mechanisms. The introduction of parasitoids resulted in a
 transient decrease in host global DNA methylation and the modulation of
 acetylation ratios for specific histones. Genes encoding regulators of
 histone acetylation and deacetylation were mostly downregulated in the
 parasitized pupae, suggesting that parasitoids can suppress host
 transcription. We also detected a strong parasitoid-specific effect on
 host microRNAs regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional
 level. Our data therefore support the hypothesis that parasitoids may
 favor the survival of their offspring by interfering with host epigenetic
 mechanisms to suppress the immune system and disrupt development.

title: Community-level direct and indirect impacts of an invasive plant favour exotic over native species

description: 1. Indirect interactions mediated by shared enemies or mutualists (i.e.,
 apparent competition) can influence whether invasive plants harm or
 benefit co-occurring species. However, studies to date have largely
 examined single pairwise interactions, limiting our understanding of the
 interplay among different types of interactions and whether indirect
 impacts systematically favour native or exotic species. Predicting
 indirect interaction strength has also proven challenging, and it remains
 unclear whether the strengths of different indirect interactions are
 correlated. 2. We conducted a field experiment in a grassland invaded by
 Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) to compare the strength of its indirect
 impacts, via both soil fungi or herbivores, on 21 native and exotic legume
 species growing in pots buried in the ground. Direct interactions of
 plants with soil fungi were controlled using nylon mesh pot windows of
 differing porosity (1 or 38 µm) to prevent or allow soil fungi hyphal
 growth. Arthropod herbivores were controlled through spraying pyrethrum
 pesticide. To assess indirect impacts, interactions were compared between
 plants adjacent to or 50 m away from an extensive Scotch broom invasion.
 We measured plant performance (survival, height, and biomass), arthropod
 and hare herbivory, and rhizobia nodulation. 3. Despite increasing
 arthropod herbivory of both native and exotic plant species, Scotch broom
 had a net positive impact on their survival and growth, through sheltering
 them from abiotic stress, and indirectly via beneficial soil fungi and
 release from hare browsing. Soil fungi also increased arthropod herbivory,
 decreased rhizobia nodulation, and disproportionately promoted the growth
 of exotic plants. Overall, exotic plants experienced stronger
 interactions, which favoured them with beneficial soil fungi and rhizobia
 but not hare browsing. Finally, indirect interaction strength was not
 correlated among indirect interactions mediated by different interaction
 partners. 4. Synthesis: We demonstrate that invaders affect their
 competitors through multiple interacting indirect pathways that were
 stronger than direct ‘nurse plant’ effects, emphasising the importance of
 a community-level approach to studying biological invasions. Exotic
 species experienced stronger positive and negative impacts than natives,
 but were facilitated overall, potentially contributing to exotic dominance
 in communities.

title: Data from: Thinking outside the box: problem-solving in free-living lizards

description: Despite evidence that organisms are more likely to exhibit their full
 range of cognitive abilities under conditions found in nature, studies
 evaluating cognition under such conditions remain rare, particularly in
 vertebrate species. Here we conducted an experiment to evaluate problem
 solving and motor-self regulation in free-living arboreal lizards, Anolis
 sagrei, under natural conditions. We presented lizards with a novel detour
 problem which challenged individuals to circumvent a transparent barrier
 in order to obtain a food reward. Individuals varied in their ability to
 solve the detour problem. Furthermore, those that solved the problem were
 able to improve their performance across trials by modifying the natural
 response of attempting to strike the reward trough the transparent
 barrier, providing evidence of motor self-regulation. Solving the problem
 required individuals to modify their typical foraging behavior, as
 approaching the prey in a single burst of movement that culminated with an
 attack was an unsuccessful strategy. Contrary to expectations our findings
 provide evidence of motor self-regulation in a visually-oriented,
 sit-and-wait predator under natural conditions, suggesting
 motor-self-regulation is not limited by foraging strategy. Our results
 also underscore the need to evaluate the cognitive abilities of
 free-living organisms in the wild, particularly for taxa that perform
 poorly under laboratory conditions.

title: Septicemia of Subterranean Termites Coptotermes curvignathus Caused by Disturbance of Bacteria Isolated from Termite Gut and Its Foraging Pathways

description: Microbial pathogens continue to attract a great deal of attention to
 manage termite population. Every bacterium has its own mode of action and
 in fact, the mechanisms used by bacteria to attack termites remains
 elusive at the moment. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate
 the susceptibility of subterranean termites Coptotermes curvignathus to
 opportunistic pathogens using culturable aerobic bacteria isolated from
 the termite gut and its foraging pathways. Bacterial suspensions were
 prepared in concentrations of 103, 106, and 109 CFU/mL and introduced to
 the termites via oral-contact and physical contact treatment. The data
 shows that contact method acted slower and gave lower mortality, compared
 to oral-contact method. C. curvignathus were highly susceptible to
 Serratia marcescens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Serratia marcescens showed
 the highest mortality percentage of 68% and 54% at bacterial concentration
 of 109 CFU/mL via oral-contact and contact method, respectively. S.
 marcescens was also defined as the bacteria with the highest ability to
 induce high mortality of C. curvignathus with the lowest concentration of
 bacterial suspension at a given time under laboratory condition. The
 results of this study indicate that P. aeruginosa and S. marcescens in
 particular may be attractive candidates worth further examination as a
 possible biocontrol agent against C. curvignathus in the field and, to
 evaluate environmental and ecological risks of the biocontrol.
