How can we avoid traffic jams? Design of on-demand traffic guidance systems II

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

With the increasing occurrence of traffic congestions, there is a growing need for traffic guidance systems that can accurately predict future traffic flows and guide users to take the optimal route. In this thesis, we primarily analyse a traffic data set obtained from LTA Singapore that contains speed values, to understand and exploit internal trends; which can then be applied to build practical transportation algorithms for the required traffic guidance system. To reduce the complexity of the analysis, popular term reduction techniques such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) are applied to the traffic data and their compression performances are compared. A new term reduction technique employing both PCA & ICA is postulated and its compression performance is measured. The report provides the theoretical background behind the different reduction techniques and presents step by step the method used for performing them through MATLAB.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURAL CHALLENGES FACED BY DEPORTED PEOPLES IN THEIR NEW PLACES OF RESIDENCE

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Deported populations often confront a wide array of environmental and natural challenges in their new places of residence, which can exacerbate the difficulties of displacement and resettlement. These challenges arise from being relocated to unfamiliar and often marginal areas with limited resources. Many of these regions may have poor soil quality, unreliable or limited access to clean water, and scarce arable land, making agricultural activities and food production difficult. Deported peoples may also face extreme climatic conditions such as heatwaves, cold spells, or heavy rainfall, depending on the region. Additionally, they often lack knowledge about the local ecosystems, which hinders their ability to utilize available resources effectively or protect themselves from environmental risks. Natural hazards, including droughts, floods, landslides, or even proximity to dangerous industrial sites, further threaten the deported populations' well-being. These groups often live in underdeveloped or impoverished regions that are vulnerable to environmental degradation, climate change impacts, and pollution. Combined with the socio-economic challenges they face, such as limited access to healthcare, education, and employment, these environmental and natural stressors significantly affect their capacity to adapt and rebuild their lives in new locations. The intersection of these environmental difficulties with social, economic, and political marginalization often leads to severe living conditions for deported peoples, undermining their long-term resilience and sustainability. Addressing these issues requires a holistic approach, including humanitarian aid, sustainable development practices, and policies that ensure deported communities have access to resources and the knowledge needed to thrive in their new environments.
Coastal environment of the Beaufort Sea from field data and ERTS-1 imagery, summer 1972

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The author has identified the following significant results. An extensive field program during the spring and summer in the coastal Beaufort Sea test site has been completed using a wide variety of sensing techniques. Reduction of field data and ERTS-1 image analysis have shown the coastal environment to be complexly influenced by unique processes, most of which involve or are related to sea ice. Active sedimentologic processes along the Arctic coast are set in motion by the melting, flooding, and eventual overflow of rivers onto the sea ice. It is now apparent that only minor amounts of sediment are transported offshore at this stage; however, scouring of the bottom is significant beneath the strudels (drain holes) which develop in the fast ice canopy in the region of overflow. Areal salinity and turbidity patterns together with ERTS-1 imagery confirm a consistent influx of colder, clearer, saltier water towards the coast just east of the Colville River. Strong (up to 3 knots) bidirectional but intermittent currents often manifest themselves in imagery and aerial photographs as wakes behind grounded ice. Ice movement vectors generated from repetitive images indicate that ice drift is closely associated with wind direction, especially in shallow bays, and displacements of 4-22 kilometers were noted in 24 hours.
An Insight into the Psychology of Abhidharmakosh

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This article aims to describe the background of mind in terms of Buddhist and western perspective. Mind has been an interesting topic for ages. There are many researches that have contributed in this field and were successful to equip the world with new and old ideas. The researchers have researched on a Buddhist scripture Abhidharma kosh that deals with mind at the subtlest level. Mind has been divided in to three, as per western school of thought but this book explains mind with 51 mental factors. This article elaborates on different facets of minds as is written in Abhidharma kosh. The aim of the researchers is to bring out the psychological perspective of the Buddhist scripture, Abhidharma kosh in terms of Buddhist psychology. Old scriptures have been the source to the modern pool of study. Hence the researchers have brought the golden words of Abhidharma kosh in the light of the world. This article compares the Freudian, Jungian, Piaget’s theory of conscious with Abhidharma kosh.
Detection of Metallo-Beta-Lactamase-Encoding Genes Among Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Qom Province

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Background\n Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa has emerged as a serious problem in many hospitals and intensive care units. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profile and the distribution of metallo-beta-lactamase genes among P. aeruginosa isolates from Qom province of Iran.\n \n \n Methods\n In this study, 200 P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from several clinical samples in hospitals affiliated to Qom University of Medical Sciences, Qom province, Iran. The antibiotic susceptibility of the isolates was tested by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test and the distribution of MBL genes among carbapenem-resistant isolates was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.\n \n \n Results\n Among carbapenem non-susceptible isolates of P. aeruginosa, 38% (76 isolates) were multidrug resistant, 26% (52 isolates) were pan-drug-resistant and 5% (10 isolates) were extensive drug resistant. 52% of the isolates were resistant to carbapenems. Among carbapenem non-susceptible isolates of P. aeruginosa, 40 isolates (38.4%) exhibited MBL production. Of 40 MBL-producing isolates, 38 isolates (36.5%) contained the blaIMP gene and two (1.9%) isolates contained the blaVIM gene.\n \n \n Conclusions\n Outbreaks of MBL-producing P. aeruginosa isolates will be a serious problem in hospitals in the future and rapid identification of these isolates is necessary to control further dissemination of MBL resistance genes. This is the first report of the rates of MDR, XDR, PDR, and MBL-producing P. aeruginosa isolated from hospitals affiliated to Qom University of Medical Sciences in Qom province of Iran.
Tomato ripening mutants-rin,nor and alc: a potential germplasm to improve self life

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In the present article the implications and potentials of tomato ripening mutants viz. rin, nor and acl to prolong the shelf life have been reviewed. These single recessive gene mutations alter respiration, ethylene evolution, pectolytic enzyme activity, pigment concentration and ultimately shelf life of the fruit. The effect is more pronounced in homozygotes, where fruits do not develop normal colour even with the treatment of ethylene or ethylene analogues. In heterozygotes, the gene expression is additive and develop acceptable colour with 100 to 400 percent increase of shelf life. The prolonged time from anthesis to onset of respiratory or ethylene rise suggested that these mutant genes operated prior to the ripening events. The reduced level of PGmRNA and inactivation of polygalacturonase (PG) at transcription level in mutants revealed that PG enzyme controls ripening events and eventually the shelf life tomato. The ripening inhibitor genes are not associated with firmness, hence, their transfer in firm fruited varieties can further improve their usefulness for prolonged storage and distant transportation. The slump condition, particularly of north-western India, suits very well for commercial exploitation of ripening mutant hybrids. By virtue of long shelf lie, these hybrids can be sent to distant markets or can be cold stored to fetch high premium in the succeeding months, both in local as well as in distant markets.
Morphological and molecular based diversity studies of some cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) germplasm in Ghana

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important food crop in many tropical countries in Africa, South America and Asia.However, yields are below the productivity of the crop.This requires breeding and selection for improved varieties.The current study therefore investigated genetic diversity among some Ghanaian preferred accessions which could be used for breeding purposes.Genetic diversity of 43 cassava accessions was determined using 14 morphological descriptors and 20 SSR primer pairs.Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that the first three principal components accounted for 72.7% of the total variation with PCA1, PCA2 and PCA contributing 46.6, 14.7 and 11.4%, respectively.The size of amplified alleles ranged from 75 to 350 bp, most of which were closed to the published values.The polymorphic information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.07 for SSRY181 to 0.75 for SSRY175, with an average of 0.52.Gene diversity was high and the average observed heterozygosity was 0.77.Both morphological descriptors and SSR markers were able to group the accessions into distinct clusters independent of locality of collection.However, where the morphological descriptors indicated some accessions were the same, SSRs markers were able to distinguish them into distinct genotypes with some located in different clusters.The wider genetic diversity observed using SSR markers would be valuable for efficient management of germplasm and for effective utilization of materials in breeding programmes to produce hybrids of desirable characteristics.Therefore, the application of morphological descriptors in management of germplasm should be backed by the use of molecular markers.
Hardware Acceleration Technologies in Computer Algebra: Challenges and Impact

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The objective of high performance computing (HPC) is to ensure that the computational power of hardware resources is well utilized to solve a problem. Various techniques are usually employed to achieve this goal. Improvement of algorithm to reduce the number of arithmetic operations, modifications in accessing data or rearrangement of data in order to reduce memory traffic, code optimization at all levels, designing parallel algorithms to reduce span are some of the attractive areas that HPC researchers are working on. In this thesis, we investigate HPC techniques for the implementation of basic routines in computer algebra targeting hardware acceleration technologies. We start with a sorting algorithm and its application to sparse matrix-vector multiplication for which we focus on work on cache complexity issues. Since basic routines in computer algebra often provide a lot of fine grain parallelism, we then turn our attention to manycore architectures on which we consider dense polynomial and matrix operations ranging from plain to fast arithmetic. Most of these operations are combined within a bivariate system solver running entirely on a graphics processing unit (GPU).
PALEOECOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOX HILLS FORMATION (MAASTRICHTIAN) REPTILIAN AND AMPHIBIAN FAUNA FROM SOUTH-CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Fossil vertebrates of the Fox Hills Formation in the Missouri River valley of North Dakota play a singular role for interpretations of both paleoecology and paleogeography at the margin of the Western Interior Seaway (WIS). They link interpretations of terrestrial, estuarine, and marine ecosystems in a manner that invertebrates alone generally cannot. The Fox Hills Formation, which underlies and interfingers with the Hell Creek Formation, and associated marine tongues in the Hell Creek Formation indicate that the WIS persisted into the latest Cretaceous in North Dakota. Invertebrate fossils are common in the nearshore Fox Hills deposits consisting primarily of sandstone and siltstone. Deposition occurred during the Late Maastrichtian Jeletzkytes nebrascensis Western Interior ammonite Zone. Remains of reptiles and amphibians in the Fox Hills Formation in North Dakota are not common and consist mostly of teeth and other isolated skeletal parts. Only partial skeletons of any reptiles have been found in the Fox Hills Formation. The meager reptilian and amphibian fauna, recovered from nearshore sandstone facies, consists of marine and terrestrial taxa. The marine taxa present include the mosasaurs Mosasaurus dekayi and Plioplatecarpus sp. Terrestrial taxa represented are dinosaurs, Tyrannosauridae indet. and Theropoda indet.; turtles, the trionychid Aspideretoides sp. and the nanhsuingchelyid Basilemys sp.; the crocodile Leidyosuchus? sp.; the Choristodera Champsosaurus sp. and the salamanders Opisthotriton kayi and an undetermined species. This mixed fauna indicates that marine mosasaurs frequented shallow water areas of the WIS. The occurrence of Champsosaurus with the horseshoe crab, Casterolimulus kletti, exemplifies faunal mixing in an estuarine habitat. Dinosaurs, crocodiles, turtles, and salamanders inhabited Late Maastrichtian shoreline areas.
Effect of varying SRT on the performance of MDBR

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Membrane fouling has always been a challenge in membrane systems. Several parameters affect fouling, but extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) has often been reported as the major foulant. Sludge retention time (SRT) has been known to affect the biochemical characteristics of biomass that are responsible for fouling. Since membrane distillation bioreactor (MDBR) is a novel technology, little has been known about the effect of SRT on fouling in MDBR. In this study, the effect of SRT on membrane fouling was examined by determining its effects on the production of EPS, biomass, removal of total organic carbon and total nitrogen, as well as the MDBR flux. It was shown that SRT had significant effect on the biochemical characteristics of the retentate, e.g. higher carbohydrates concentration was observed at the shorter SRT of 10 days, which may have contributed to the faster flux decline observed at SRT 10 days.
SH1822901.08FU

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
The role of a veterinarian in zoological collections

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Abstract Extract The director of a zoological collection finds himself in an unusual but logical sphere in which to practise the art and science of veterinary surgery. From this position, in which he is outside the general run of the profession and yet is essentially a member of that profession, he has an opportunity to review dispassionately the whole trend of veterinary medicine “from the cradle to the grave.” The result is interesting—pride in the liberality of the training curriculum and confidence in the adaptability of the finished product are tempered by some doubts as to the later development of the individual in practice.
The Influence of Convenience, Enjoyment, Perceived Risk, and Trust on the Attitude of Padang State University Students Towards Online Shopping

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this research is to reveal the influence of convenience, enjoyment, perceived risk, and trust on the attitude of Padang State University students toward online shopping. Online and field surveys are conducted to collect data. A total of 242 questionnaires were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that convenience has a significant effect on enjoyment, then enjoyment has a significant effect on trust and attitude toward online shopping. Likewise with trust, this was found to have a significant effect on attitudes toward online shopping. However, the results of the analysis show that the perceived risk does not significantly influence trust and attitudes toward online shopping.

Optical system design of large-aperture space gravitational wave telescope

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In the Taiji Program, the space gravitational wave (GW) telescope is an important component of the space laser interferometer, which is used to receive and transmit laser signals, and has strict requirements in terms of light intensity signals and tilt-to-length (TTL) noise. Therefore, the telescope has a particular design; it should have a large aperture to meet the demand for light intensity signals, and the TTL coupling noise should be suppressed in the design process. Based on the primary aberration theory, the solution of the four-mirror off-axis initial structure is described. According to the interference model of flat-topped and Gaussian beams, the coupling coefficient of wavefront error and TTL noise at the exit pupil of the telescope are analytically calculated using the average phase signal. The optimization method and design flow are established, considering the special requirements of the space GW telescope. The results indicate that the diameter of the telescope entrance pupil is 400 mm, and the system magnification is 80 × . The root mean square (RMS) value of wavefront errors is better than 0.00504 λ (λ = 1064 nm) within ±8 μrad of the scientific field of view, and the coupling coefficient is not more than 1.7 pm / μrad within ±600 μrad of jitter angle. The tolerance analysis of the design results shows that the RMS value and coupling coefficient meet the requirements of space GW detection. Therefore, the proposed design is a good candidate for the Taiji Program.

Pressure-independent effects of AT1-receptor antagonism on cardiovascular remodeling in aortic-banded rats

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

To determine the role of angiotensin II-receptor blockade on cardiovascular remodeling in a pressure-overload model of cardiac hypertrophy, a subdiaphragmatic aortic band was placed in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Aortic-banded (AB) rats were left untreated or were losartan (Los; 250 mg/l) treated (AB-Los). Sham-operated (S) controls were either left untreated or treated with Los (S-Los). After 4 wk, rats were catheterized for measurement of mean arterial pressures [carotid (CMAP) and femoral (FMAP), in mmHg]. Hearts were perfused on a modified Langendorff system, and minimal coronary resistance (MCR) was determined. Hearts were then perfusion fixed, total and regional heart weights were recorded, and sections were processed for morphology. Changes in coronary artery medial thickness and perivascular fibrosis were assessed by quantitative image analysis. CMAP was significantly higher in AB and AB-Los than in S or S-Los (P < 0.05). There was no difference in FMAP in AB vs. S, but AB-Los and S-Los had lower FMAPs than S. Total heart weight and left ventricular weight-to-body weight ratios were increased in AB and AB-Los compared with S and S-Los (P < 0.05). MCR of AB was greater than S and S-Los. MCR of AB-Los was significantly lower than AB and was not significantly different from S and S-Los. In coronary vessels, medial thickness was greatest in AB, whereas there was no difference among AB-Los, S, and S-Los. Similarly, the increase in perivascular fibrosis was greatest in AB, and there was no difference among AB-Los, S, and S-Los. These data suggest that angiotensin II, independent of increased arterial pressure, is critical for the development of the vascular and fibrotic changes that occur in this model of pressure-overload hypertrophy.
