Social Collaborative Viewpoint Regression with Explainable Recommendations

A recommendation is called explainable if it not only predicts a numerical rating for an item, but also generates explanations for users' preferences. Most existing methods for explainable recommendation apply topic models to analyze user reviews to provide descriptions along with the recommendations they produce. So far, such methods have neglected user opinions and influences from social relations as a source of information for recommendations, even though these are known to improve the rating prediction.

Large Thrombosed Internal Carotid-Posterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Presenting with Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Case Study

We report a case of a large thrombosed internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm presenting with atypical trigeminal neuralgia. A 67-year-old woman presented with atypical trigeminal neuralgia of the left ophthalmic nerve territory. The patient underwent several nerve block therapies for the pain, and the symptoms got better each time. The patient considered neurosurgery after a left oculomotor palsy occurred. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left partially thrombosed large internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm distorting the left trigeminal nerve. The aneurysm was successfully treated using the neck clipping method, following which, both the trigeminal neuralgia and oculomotor nerve palsy improved.

Introduction

Growing evidence of the deleterious impacts of climate change on the agricultural sector and human health requires research for understanding the underlying mechanisms of damage. Insects being ectothermic organisms are vulnerable to temperature changes, precipitation, and carbon dioxide concentrations, which may alter their phenology. Seasonal perturbations also affect plant phenology. Consequently, there is a loss of synchrony among them. Though the effect varies between species, the overall impact is a decline in the pollinator population and a rise of pest infestations of plants. Such mismatches between insect pests and their natural enemies can render biological control ineffective. Since the environmental requirements of insect ecotypes vary across the globe, climatic alterations have triggered mass migrations resulting in transmission of parasites and diseases of both plants (via pests and pollinators) and animals (via vectors) across continental barriers. Thus, climate change can affect both the beneficial and harmful insects that may threaten the future food security and biodiversity.

RS DINO: A Novel Panoptic Segmentation Algorithm for High Resolution Remote Sensing Images

To address the suboptimal performance of current panoptic segmentation models in remote sensing image processing, this paper presents RS DINO(Remote Sensing Mask DETR with Improved Denoising Anchor Boxes), a novel algorithm for panoptic segmentation of multi-spectral high-resolution remote sensing images. First, a batch attention module was designed to calculate relationships between image patches, to effectively utilize long-range contexts in the image. Furthermore, a Channel Attention Module was used to extract interdependencies between multiple channels in remote sensing images and fuse spectral features of land cover targets. Finally, based on a high-resolution remote sensing panoptic segmentation dataset, typical normal image panoptic segmentation algorithms were compared with RS DINO through experimental evaluation. Results show that RS DINO achieves the best panoptic segmentation performance and has better applicability on multi-spectral high-resolution remote sensing images.

Competition and government procurement in Malaysia

This paper aims to study the government procurement regime in Malaysia. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the existing policies on government procurement and to analyse the extent to which these policies are designed in line with competitive principles. This is important to ensure that the government procurement system is not opened to corruption, favouritism, and market distortion and achieves its ultimate objective that is to secure ‘the best value for money’. This research relies on both primary and secondary data. The primary data includes legislation, government policy and report, treasury instruction and circulars. The research also refers to journal articles, conference proceedings and reports as part of the secondary data. However, given the nature of the area which is highly sensitive, the research will not conduct empirical study by way of interview or survey to support the research findings. Despite having a comprehensive regulatory framework to oversee government procurement, the research identifies some weaknesses in the current regime which may expose the procurement activities to potential corruption, bias, and market distortion including: 1. Ambiguity in the implementation of some procurement methods; 2. Lack of transparency in some procurement processes; 3. Expansive preferential treatment to Bumiputera; 4. Lack of an effective review and appeal mechanism in the government procurement regime.

Triploid watermelon response to flumioxazin

Abstract Field trials were conducted in 2016 and 2017 at the Southwest Purdue Agricultural Center in Vincennes, IN, to determine the tolerance of plasticulture-grown ‘Fascination’ triploid watermelon to flumioxazin. Treatments were applied after plastic was laid, but 1 d prior to transplanting, and consisted of row middle applications of clomazone (210 g ai ha −1 ) plus ethafluralin (672 g ai ha −1 ), flumioxazin (107 g ai ha −1 ), and flumioxazin (88 g ha −1 ) plus pyroxasulfone (112 g ai ha −1 ); a broadcast application of flumioxazin (107 g ha −1 ); and a nontreated check. The broadcast application of flumioxazin reduced watermelon vine length and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) values compared with values for the nontreated check. All other herbicide treatments had vine length and NDVI values similar to those of the nontreated check. At 25/26 d after transplanting (DAP), weedy ground cover in row middles of the nontreated check was 39% and 14% in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Weedy ground cover in herbicide-containing treatments was significantly less, at ≤7% and ≤5% in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Marketable watermelon yield of the nontreated check was 77,931 kg and 11,115 fruits ha −1 . The broadcast application of flumioxazin resulted in reduced marketable yield (64,894 kg ha −1 ) and fewer fruit (9,550 ha −1 ).

Telemedicine systems and telecommunications

Successful telemedicine requires appropriate equipment and some kind of telecommunications medium. However, successful telemedicine requires more than just technology. The three essential components are the personnel, the technology and a liberal measure of perseverance. Before the technology can be selected, it is necessary to consider the nature of the information to be transmitted between the sites and the time frame over which it must be sent to achieve the desired clinical goals, because this will determine the choice of equipment and the telecommunications network. Factors to be considered include the types of information to be transmitted, the quantity of information to be transferred, and security and privacy (e.g. in Europe and the USA there has been recent legislation about data security). The choice of transmission method for any telemedicine application is, in practice, a compromise between what one would like and what one can afford. In practice, various trade-offs have to be made, which include cost, availability of the service (i.e. the coverage), bandwidth, reliability and quality of service. Equipment and the telecommunications medium are a necessary, but not sufficient, pre-requisite for a successful telemedicine programme. The right people are also required and they must be properly trained.

CSR after Enron: A Role for the academic accounting profession?

Post-Enron, there has been a particularly dramatic increase in the production of substantial corporate social responsibility and sustainability reports. Significantly, issues of reputation, risk management and competitive advantage, rather than the discharge of accountability, appear to be the driving forces behind such a phenomenon. This paper discusses the contribution academic accounting, within both research and teaching realms, can make towards addressing this perceived imbalance. Drawing upon a review of recent literature, attention is drawn to the potential for pursuing a strategy of critical engagement. In the research domain, this entails academics being prepared to extend their scholarship from a generally prevailing managerialist perspective to the point where less comfortable areas of real conflict lie. Equally important, on the teaching front, there is a pressing need to challenge more robustly the tenets of modern day business, and specifically accounting, education which have elevated the principles of property rights and narrow self-interest above broader values of community and ethics.

Parallel Architecture Hardware and General Purpose Operating System Co-design

Because most optimisations to achieve higher computational performance eventually are limited, parallelism that scales is required. Parallelised hardware alone is not sufficient, but software that matches the architecture is required to gain best performance. For decades now, hardware design has been guided by the basic design of existing software, to avoid the higher cost to redesign the latter. In doing so, however, quite a variety of superior concepts is excluded a priori. Consequently, co-design of both hardware and software is crucial where highest performance is the goal. For special purpose application, this co-design is common practice. For general purpose application, however, a precondition for usability of a computer system is an operating system which is both comprehensive and dynamic. As no such operating system has ever been designed, a sketch for a comprehensive dynamic operating system is presented, based on a straightforward hardware architecture to demonstrate how design decisions regarding software and hardware do coexist and harmonise.

Institutional Investors and Stock Liquidity: Evidence from Indian Stock Market

The main aim of this article is to examine the relation between institutional ownership and stock liquidity. Using a large sample of Indian firm data for the period 2001–2012, we estimate two liquidity measures, Amihud illiquidity and HL-spread. We find that institutional ownership is negatively related to the stock liquidity. We also find that the negative institutional ownership–stock liquidity relation is mostly driven by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and Bank ownership. Conversely, retail ownership is positively related to the stock liquidity. Importantly, we find that institutional investors are more likely to hold liquid stocks. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the level of institutional ownership proxies for informed investors, while they trade liquid stock to reduce price impact cost.

Biogenic amine producing bacteria associated with three different commercially fermented beverages in Botswana

The microbial quality and predominant bacterial groups of three fermented beverages was investigated.The bacteria associated with sorghum beer, sour milk (madila/amasi) and sour maize beverage (mageu/mahewu) were determined using standard microbiological techniques.The predominant microorganisms were screened for the production of four biogenic amines using decarboxylase broth.Sorghum beer had the highest bacterial counts with sour maize beverage having the least bacterial counts.Hafnia alvei isolated from sour milk was found to be a major histamine and putrescine producer with 21.2 and 17.56 mg/100 ml respectively.On the other hand, the most important cadaverine producers were Pantoea citrea and Hafnia alvei with19.27and 18.75 mg/100 ml respectively.Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis isolated from sour milk were found to be prolific tyramine producers with 35.5 and 20.07 mg/100 ml respectively.The Bacillus species isolated from all fermented food products were found to be weak histamine producers.The study also revealed that production of biogenic amines was not a widely distributed property among the lactic acid bacteria as previously documented for other fermented food products.Based on the results, it was concluded that sour maize beverage was the safest fermented food product in terms of the microbial quality and presence of biogenic amine producing bacteria.

Electromagnetic Lifting Control System Based on BAS+PID Algorithm

In this paper, considering the characteristics of the electromagnetic force of the lifting electromagnet in actual production work, a novel electromagnetic force control system for the lifting electromagnet is studied. Based on the Beetle Antennae Search Algorithm (BAS), combined with traditional PID control, the size and direction of the excitation current are controlled in real time by adjusting the IGBT turn-on sequence and turn-on time to achieve rapid adjustment of the magnitude and direction of the electromagnetic force. The simulation experimental results show that if adding the BAS + PID controller, the excitation current overshoot of the system is smaller, the response speed is faster, and the steady-state accuracy is higher. The controller can better meet the working requirements of the lifting electromagnet.

Exploring Chitosan Lactate as a Multifunctional Additive: Enhancing Quality and Extending Shelf Life of Whole Wheat Bread

The shelf life of whole wheat bread (WWB) significantly impacts its freshness and overall quality. This research investigated the impact of chitosan lactate (CL) on various characteristics influencing the shelf life of WWB, including its physical, chemical, textural, antimicrobial, and sensory attributes. These characteristics were evaluated by conducting various experiments such as physical inspection, moisture, impedance, swelling, color, texture, FTIR, microbiological, and sensory analysis. CL with different concentrations was incorporated into WWB formulations: P0.0 (0.0% w/w CL, control), P0.5 (0.5% w/w CL), P1.0 (1.0% w/w CL), P2.0 (2.0% w/w CL), and P3.0 (3.0% w/w CL). The inclusion of CL promoted the Maillard reaction (MR) compared to P0.0. The promotion of MR resulted in the formation of a shinier crust, which increased as the CL content was increased. P0.5 comprised large-sized pores and exhibited increased loaf height. CL-containing WWB formulations showed an increased moisture content and decreased impedance values compared to the control. FTIR analysis of P0.5 demonstrated the enhanced interaction and bonding of water molecules. P0.5 demonstrated optimal textural, colorimetric, and antimicrobial properties compared to other formulations. The sensory attributes of WWBs remain unchanged despite CL addition. In conclusion, P0.5 exhibited optimal characteristics associated with better quality and prolonged shelf life.

What Do Immigrants Value Most About Switzerland? Evidence of the Relative Importance of Income Taxes

This study investigates the importance of income taxes relative to other pull factors of migration. In line with the existing literature, evidence from Swiss immigrants indicates that low income taxes are – at least for experienced employees – a significant consideration for migration decisions. However, due to a separate tax treatment of most of the immigrants, only cantonal-level taxes, not municipal taxes, are found to be a significant pull factor. Dominance analysis suggests that the importance of taxes compared to other locational factors is rather low. Network effects and labor market conditions are by far the most important factors that influence the choice of a destination municipality.

Dynamic SLA management with forecasting using multi-objective optimization

Cost-efficient operation while satisfying performance and availability guarantees in Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is a challenge for Cloud Computing, as these are potentially conflicting objectives. We present a framework for SLA management based on multi-objective optimization. The framework features a forecasting model for determining the best virtual machine-to-host allocation given the need to minimize SLA violations, energy consumption and resource wasting. A comprehensive SLA management solution is proposed that uses event processing for monitoring and enables dynamic provisioning of virtual machines onto the physical infrastructure. We validated our implementation against serveral standard heuristics and were able to show that our approach is significantly better.

SH0994735.10FU

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.
