Brief Paper: Vehicle Manufacturer Recognition using Deep Learning and Perspective Transformation
Year: 2019

In real world object detection is an active research topic for understanding different objects from images. There are different models presented in past and had significant results. In this paper we are presenting vehicle logo detection using previous object detection models such as You only look once (YOLO) and Faster Region based CNN (F RCNN) Both the front and rear view of the vehicles were used for training and testing the proposed method. Along with deep learning an image pre processing algorithm called perspective transformation is proposed for all the test images. Using perspective transformation, the top view images were transformed into front view images. This algorithm has higher detection rate as compared to raw images. Furthermore, YOLO model has better result as compare to F RCNN model.
Bale quality and baler operational and economic performance as a function of working speeds and windrowed sugarcane trash volumes
Venue: Cientifica
Year: 2019

Energy cogeneration from sugarcane trash generally occurs through mechanical baling. This work evaluates the influence of baler speed and windrowed sugarcane trash volume on the operational, economic performance, and quality of prismatic bales produced by a baler. The experiment was carried out in a sugarcane production area, using a baler that produces rectangular prismatic bales, driven by a tractor with 161.81 kW nominal power. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 x 2 factorial scheme, consisting of two windrowed trash volumes (50 and 90% and two working speeds (3 and 5 km h 1 with six replicates. The following were evaluated: mineral impurity, dry weight, and volume of bales, as well as fuel consumption, operational capacity, costs, and economic efficiency of baling. Bale volume was not influenced by windrowed trash volume and baler speed. Higher windrowed trash volume provided lower cost per bale and higher mineral impurity index and dry weight of bales. Hourly fuel consumption, operational field capacity, and bale production increased with increasing speed. The highest economic efficiency is obtained with higher speed and windrowed trash volume.
A room with a green view: the importance of nearby nature for mental health during the COVID 19 pandemic
Venue: Ecological applications a publication of the Ecological Society of America
Year: 2020

The COVID 19 pandemic and its global response have resulted in unprecedented and rapid changes to most people's day to day lives. To slow the spread of the virus, governments have implemented the practice of physical distancing "social distancing" which includes isolation within the home with limited time spent outdoors. During this extraordinary time, nature around the home may play a key role in mitigating against adverse mental health outcomes due to the pandemic and the measures taken to address it. To assess whether this is the case, we conducted an online questionnaire survey (n 3,000) in Tokyo, Japan, to quantify the association between five mental health outcomes (depression, life satisfaction, subjective happiness, self esteem, and loneliness) and two measures of nature experiences (frequency of greenspace use and green view through windows from home) Accounting for sociodemographic and lifestyle variables, we found that the frequency of greenspace use and the existence of green window views from within the home was associated with increased levels of self esteem, life satisfaction, and subjective happiness and decreased levels of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Our findings suggest that a regular dose of nature can contribute to the improvement of a wide range of mental health outcomes. With the recent escalation in the prevalence of mental health disorders, and the possible negative impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic on public mental health, our findings have major implications for policy, suggesting that urban nature has great potential to be used as a "nature based solution" for improved public health.
Qualitative analysis of domestic violence detection and response in a tertiary hospital.
Venue: Journal of primary health care
Year: 2019

Domestic and family violence is a public health problem of epidemic proportions and a significant issue facing the Australian community. It knows no boundaries, is indiscriminate to geographical location, social class, age, religious or cultural background.  This study aimed to analyse the processes currently used to identify and respond to domestic and family violence in a large tertiary hospital in Australia, and to classify the benefits and weaknesses of these existing systems.  A qualitative method used semistructured, face to face and telephone interviews with key informants in 16 key areas across the hospital. Thematic analysis of the interviews was used to define the key issues and areas of interest identified by participants.  There was a dearth of existing guidelines or pathways of care for patients experiencing domestic violence. Several strengths and weaknesses were identified in relation to the protocols and systems used by the hospital, including limited training for staff and a lack of standardisation of processes, workplace instructions and clinical guidelines. With the exception of maternity services, no clinical service area used a guideline or work instruction. Most interviewees highlighted the need for the safety and protection of staff and victims as a priority.  Domestic and family violence is an enormous burden on the health system. However, many staff have little or no guidance on dealing with it or are unaware of existing protocols or guidelines for detection or response. Participants recommended further education and training for staff, consistent guidelines, specialist liaison and more educational and information resources for staff and patients. Further investigation and discussions with patients affected by violence is warranted to provide robust recommendations for policy change.
Model Free Control Design for Loop Heat Pipes Using Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient
Year: 2020

In this paper, a model free adaptive control design for loop heat pipes (LHPs) based on the reinforcement learning (RL) method of deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) is presented. An LHP as a heat transport system combines complex, thermodynamic processes, which are not yet fully described in a dynamic control model over the entire LHP operating range for model based control design. However, RL methods provide the controller with the ability to improve its control performance without a model by analyzing and rewarding the performance online. The aim of an LHP controller is to keep the LHP operating temperature as close as possible to the fixed setpoint temperature by additional heating, while the amount of heat to be transported and the temperature of the heat sink change over time. A validated numerical simulation of the LHP provides a safe, dynamic environment for the training of the learning controller. In comparison with the commonly used PI controller with a single temperature feedback, the control performance of the learning controller observing the same temperature achieves similar control results. Furthermore, multiple observations are easily incorporated into a model free learning controller, whereby the additional feedback of further temperature measurements ensures an improved performance over the entire operating range.
An Investigation of Learners' Perception of an Online Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) Training Model
Venue: International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET)
Year: 2021

Developing students' Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) has been viewed as the English as a foreign language teachers' responsibility in the globalized world, especially after the birth of COVID 19 pandemic. Amidst the flourishing development of ICC cultivation studies, a noted absence is on the study of how to actualize ICC in the online teaching based English language teaching. This study, by presenting a pedagogical case, explores the application of the online ICC training model, and focuses on how the online teaching can be established at the four teaching stages, namely, attitude development, knowledge construction, skills practice, and reflection. Attitude development is a pre class activity to motivate students' learning curiosity. In the stage of knowledge construction, various kinds of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are selected as teaching resources for students to learn the key concepts and theories for the course. Skills practice requires students to make full use of WeChat or Bulletin Board System (BBS) to have online intercultural encounter, in this process students practice both their linguistic and intercultural communicative competence. The last stage provides chances for both students and teacher to rethink about their learning and teaching and move to the new circle of teaching stages. An eight weeks' action research with a class of second grade English Majors in a Chinese university has been conducted. Questionnaire and interview are the main methods for data collection, combined with teacher and students' reflective journals. The results of both quantitative and qualitative evaluation show that adopting online teaching may serve as an effective way to develop students' ICC during epidemic and in the future.
Transformaciones territoriales por planes parciales de renovacion urbana. Barrio El Naranjal, un territorio en negociacion
Year: 2018

The process of liberalization of the land market derived from the reorganization of global economic capital, relocalises industry and orders a neoliberal city around financial, services and real estate activities. Medellin tries to project a global image of "development" through city marketing and one of its strategies is the urban renewal that generates high profitability for the real estate sector. The Naranjal Urban Renewal Partial Plan is deployed under the public private governance model, and through Urban Action Units it operates as a mechanism of exclusion, erasing the existing territorialities in the neighborhood, and inserting a new urban and architectural morphological configuration, lifestyle and "user" Its implementation has been a process of negotiation of the territory that through breaches, pressures, protests and popular actions has fragmented social relations and atomized the community potential of its inhabitants.
Hypoxia in multiple sclerosis; is it the chicken or the egg?
Venue: Brain a journal of neurology
Year: 2020

Over the past 50 years, intense research effort has taught us a great deal about multiple sclerosis. We know that it is the most common neurological disease affecting the young middle aged, that it affects two to three times more females than males, and that it is characterized as an autoimmune disease, in which autoreactive T lymphocytes cross the blood brain barrier, resulting in demyelinating lesions. But despite all the knowledge gained, a key question still remains; what is the initial event that triggers the inflammatory demyelinating process? While most research effort to date has focused on the immune system, more recently, another potential candidate has emerged: hypoxia. Specifically, a growing number of studies have described the presence of hypoxia (both 'virtual' and real) at an early stage of demyelinating lesions, and several groups, including our own, have begun to investigate how manipulation of inspired oxygen levels impacts disease progression. In this review we summarize the findings of these hypoxia studies, and in particular, address three main questions: (i) is the hypoxia found in demyelinating lesions 'virtual' or real; (ii) what causes this hypoxia; and (iii) how does manipulation of inspired oxygen impact disease progression?
Collective punishment promotes resource conservation if it is not enforced
Year: 2020

Managing extraction of forest resources is crucial for the stability of local eco systems. The excessive extraction of forests by local communities has contributed to their rapid decline. Punishment has been suggested as a solution to this problem. However, evidence from common pool resource (CPR) experiments indicates that peer punishment generates high levels of anti social punishment and retaliation, which undermines its positive impact on resource conservation. It has been shown that collective punishment solves these problems in public good games, but so far it has been ignored in the CPR studies. To fill this gap, we present the results from the CPR experiment with collective punishment. In the pool punishment (1OP) treatment, group members first decide on whether to pay the tax so as to establish a sanctioning institution. If the institution has been established, they vote on who to punish for overharvesting. In the second order punishment (2OP) treatment, an additional penalty is imposed on tax evaders. We find that the sanctioning institution persists only in the presence of penalties for tax evasion. Surprisingly, their presence increases the probability of resource exhaustion. In particular, in the 2OP treatment, subjects extract more resources compared to the 1OP treatment to compensate for the loss of payoffs spent on taxes. In turn, pool punishment is successful in promoting resource conservation, but only in some groups. The key factor that determines why some groups prevent resource exhaustion, while others fail to do so, concerns how group members react to unfair punishment. In successful groups, penalties imposed on subjects, who extracted the least resources in the group, make them reduce extraction. Such penalties have the opposite effect in groups that exhausted resources.
Strategically Unclear? Organising Interdisciplinarity in an Excellence Programme of Interdisciplinary Research in Denmark
Year: 2019

While interdisciplinarity is not a new concept, the political and discursive mobilisation of interdisciplinarity is. Since the 1990s, this movement has intensified, and this has affected central funding bodies so that interdisciplinarity is now a de facto requirement in successful grant application. As a result, the literature is ripe with definitions, taxonomies, discussions and other attempts to grasp and define the concept of interdisciplinarity. In this paper, we explore how strategic demands for interdisciplinarity meet, interact with and change local research practices and results of higher education and research. Our aim is to question and trace the consequences of applying the slippery and difficult term interdisciplinarity in research. The paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork in a Danish interdisciplinary research programme, where we observed and analysed practices of writing, publishing, collaboration and educational development in five different research projects. We show how the call for interdisciplinarity was mobilised in a way that rendered the incentives and motives behind the programme unclear. Furthermore, we argue that the absence of clear definitions and assessment criteria produced a dominant, all inclusive, but vague, configuration of interdisciplinarity that affected the research outcome, and ultimately, promoted and reproduced the existing monodisciplinary research and power structures.
Functional Properties of Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) Eggs Proteins
Year: 2020

The eggs of the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) are the most consumed, but those of duck, goose, and quail are also consumed, to name a few. An egg is considered as a food rich in proteins, minerals, and lipids. Eggs generally consist of three main components: shell, white, and yolk, these have several functional properties that are used in food and other industries. The functional properties of the egg white and yolk are the ability of foaming, gelling, and emulsifying, which can be dealt with according to storage time. The objective of this work was to evaluate the functional properties of the components of the Japanese quail egg. The functional properties of eggs stored at room temperature for 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 days after laying were determined. Results are analyzed using a Tukey paired comparison test. The volume of the foam of the quail egg white did not change with storage time, the emulsion capacity was 193.8 mL of oil per gram of protein from the yolk. The coagulation capacity requires a lower temperature to coagulate the quail egg proteins, due to the slower transformation of ovalbumin to its thermo stable form (S ovalbumin) as compared to that of chicken.
Island Loss for Learning Discriminative Features in Facial Expression Recognition
Venue: 2018 13th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face Gesture Recognition (FG 2018)
Year: 2018

Over the past few years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown promise on facial expression recognition. However, the performance degrades dramatically under real world settings due to variations introduced by subtle facial appearance changes, head pose variations, illumination changes, and occlusions. In this paper, a novel island loss is proposed to enhance the discriminative power of deeply learned features. Specifically, the island loss is designed to reduce the intra class variations while enlarging the inter class differences simultaneously. Experimental results on four benchmark expression databases have demonstrated that the CNN with the proposed island loss (IL CNN) outperforms the baseline CNN models with either traditional softmax loss or center loss and achieves comparable or better performance compared with the state of the art methods for facial expression recognition.

Synthesis and properties of zeolite/hydrated iron oxide composite from coal fly ash as efficient adsorbent to simultaneously retain cationic and anionic pollutants from water
Year: 2014

A novel zeolite/Fe 2 O 3 composite material, which was composed of synthetic zeolite and amorphous hydrated iron oxide, was produced by using coal fly ash as raw material. The obtained new material was shown to be unique to simultaneously retain cationic and anionic pollutants from water. Though synthetic zeolite showed a great increase in specific surface area, cation exchange capacity and phosphate immobilization capacity when compared with coal fly ash, synthesis of the composite material resulted in further great enhancement. The specific surface area, cation exchange capacity and phosphate immobilization capacity of the composite material reached 161.5 m 2 /g, 154.3 cmol/kg and 18.2 mg/g, respectively. For synthetic zeolite and coal fly ash, they are 28.7 and 1.1 m 2 /g, 137.6 and
Prevention and Treatment of Postoperative Endophthalmitis Using Povidone Iodine.
Venue: Current pharmaceutical design
Year: 2017

Postoperative endophthalmitis is typically caused by patient's conjunctival bacterial flora or contaminated solutions and instruments. Visual outcome is often poor in severe cases, and treatment is especially difficult when endophthalmitis is caused by multidrug resistant bacteria. Povidone iodine is used worldwide due to its wide spectrum antimicrobial activity, absence of resistant bacteria to povidone iodine, and low cost. Furthermore, the effective concentration against microorganisms and safe concentration for ocular tissues have been well established. For ocular surface washing, the safe and highly bactericidal concentrations range from 0.050 to 0.500% Repeated washing of the ocular surface with 0.250% povidone iodine every 20 30 seconds during ophthalmic surgeries eliminates the conjunctival normal flora, minimizing the passage of bacteria into intraocular compartment, and is thus useful for the prevention of endophthalmitis. The concentration range of 0.013% 0.027% is effective for the treatment of endophthalmitis and nontoxic to intraocular tissues. In a small case series, 4 eyes with endophthalmitis were treated by vitrectomy using 0.025% povidone iodine in Balanced Salt Solution (BSS) PLUS for vitreous irrigation. In all eyes, endophthalmitis was resolved with no ocular complications and visual acuity was improved. When performing ophthalmic surgeries, washing the ocular surface with saline containing 0.250% povidone iodine every 20 30 seconds is safe for ocular tissues and effective for the prevention of endophthalmitis. A small case series suggested the effectiveness and safety of using irrigation solution containing 0.025% povidone iodine in vitrectomy for the treatment of endophthalmitis, but this treatment method remains to be established.
C Y 2 2 O ct 2 02 0 Decentralize the feedback infrastructure
Year: 2020

The decentralized architecture of Internet sparkled technoutopian visions of a virtual freedom space for humanity. Peerto peer systems, collaborative creation (wikipedia) open source software (Linux) universal shared knowledge, and the hopes for disintermediation contributed to this major vision. However, the reality is bleak: centralization is reigning in the cyberspace, with huge technological corporations controlling our data, and re intermediation and control are stronger than ever in the so called "sharing" economy. The Internet is also fragmented by countries, with many states imposing heavy controls to information and communication services. The 21st century will witness the major clash between centralization and decentralization in human history. And the major struggle will be around the communication and feedback technologies that will intermediate and govern every interaction in our lives. Unlike previous approaches that propose to socialize the feedback infrastructure or to use anti monopoly laws to break Big Tech companies, in this article we advocate for the decentralization of the information and communication infrastructure. And the key to this decentralization is the creation of standards enabling interoperability between data platforms. This will in turn produce a true disintermediation from well established technological players and open competition to small third parties. In this article, we sketch such a decentralized open infrastructure including communication, sharing, matchmaking, and reputation services that can be constructed over open source technologies and standards.
