A Biological Sensor System Using Computer Vision for Water Quality Monitoring
Venue: IEEE Access
Year: 2018

Water pollution has seriously threatened our life, so an effective water quality monitoring mechanism is the most important part of water quality management. Most studies use biological monitoring methods to monitor water pollutants, such as pesticides, heavy metals, and organic pollutants. However, there are still many difficulties at present. Few methods consider the influence of illumination and complex background in the monitoring environment, and the characteristics parameters extracted in the systems are single. In addition, the results of using shallow neural networks for water quality classification are often not ideal. In order to solve the above problems, we design a water quality monitoring system combined with the computer image processing technology and use computer vision to analyze the fish behavior in real time for monitoring the existence or not of water pollution. For the illumination problem, we use the no reference quality assessment algorithm based on natural scene statistics for contrast distortion images to evaluate the video and configure the lighting conditions of the monitoring environment. White balance preprocessing is also performed to provide a great basis for moving target detection. Besides, we use background modeling to eliminate the influence of complex background on the moving target detection and the foreground is extracted using the saliency detection algorithm. In order to comprehensively analyze the influence of water quality on the fish behavior from the extracted foreground targets, multi dimensional feature parameters are used to quantify the indicators, including movement velocity, rotation angle, spatial standard deviation, and body color which characterize the behavior changes of the fish. Finally, the classification model based on the long short term memory neural network is used to classify the feature parameters data of the fish behavior in different water quality environments. In this paper, red zebra fish is used as the indicator organism and copper sulfate solution is used as the toxic pollutant to simulate the water pollution. Experiment results show that the classification accuracy rate of water quality using the proposed system can reach 100% at level 2 classification (93.33% at level 3 and 91% at level 4) Our system can achieve more accurate multi level classification than the shallow neural network, such as RNN, and it is faster for real time monitoring with a high reference for the water environment emergencies.
Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense Mental Health Apps: A Systematic Literature Review
Venue: Psychological services
Year: 2019

In the present systematic review, we summarize the feasibility, usability, efficacy, and effectiveness of mental health related apps created by the Veterans Affairs (VA) or the Department of Defense (DoD) Twenty two articles were identified, reporting on 8 of the 20 VA/DoD mental health self management and treatment companion apps. Review inclusion criteria were studies that reported original data on the usability, acceptability, feasibility, efficacy, and effectiveness, or attitudes toward the app. We collected data from each article regarding type of study, sample size, participant population, follow up period, measures/assessments, and summary of findings. The apps have been tested with patients seeking treatment, patients with elevated mental health symptoms, and clinicians. The strongest area of support for the apps is regarding evidence of their feasibility and acceptability. Research support for efficacy and effectiveness of the apps is scarce with exceptions for two apps (PTSD Coach, Virtual Hope Box) Until more evidence accumulates, clinicians should use their judgment and be careful not to overstate the potential benefits of the apps.
Dye sensitized solar cells with 13% efficiency achieved through the molecular engineering of porphyrin sensitizers.
Venue: Nature chemistry
Year: 2014

Dye sensitized solar cells have gained widespread attention in recent years because of their low production costs, ease of fabrication and tunable optical properties, such as colour and transparency. Here, we report a molecularly engineered porphyrin dye, coded SM315, which features the prototypical structure of a donor p bridge acceptor and both maximizes electrolyte compatibility and improves light harvesting properties. Linear response, time dependent density functional theory was used to investigate the perturbations in the electronic structure that lead to improved light harvesting. Using SM315 with the cobalt(II/III) redox shuttle resulted in dye sensitized solar cells that exhibit a high open circuit voltage VOC of 0.91 V, short circuit current density JSC of 18.1 mA cm( 2) fill factor of 0.78 and a power conversion efficiency of 13%

Review: Lipid biology in the periparturient dairy cow: contemporary perspectives.
Venue: Animal an international journal of animal bioscience
Year: 2020

Coordinated changes in energy metabolism develop to support gestation and lactation in the periparturient dairy cow. Maternal physiology involves the partitioning of nutrients (i.e. glucose, amino acids and fatty acids (FA) for fetal growth and milk synthesis. However, the inability of the dairy cow to successfully adapt to a productive lactation may trigger metabolic stress characterized by uncontrolled adipose tissue lipolysis and reduced insulin sensitivity. A consequence is lipotoxicity and hepatic triglyceride deposition that favors the development of fatty liver disease (FLD) and ketosis. This review describes contemporary perspectives pertaining to FA surfeit and complex lipid metabolism in the transition dairy cow. The role of saturated and unsaturated FA as bioactive signaling molecules capable of modulating insulin secretion and sensitivity is explored. Moreover, the metabolic fate of FA as influenced by mitochondrial function is considered. This includes the influence of inadequate mitochondrial oxidation on acylcarnitine status and the use of FA for lipid mediator synthesis. Lipid mediators, including the sphingolipid ceramide and diacylglycerol, are evaluated considering their established ability to inhibit insulin signaling and glucose transport in non ruminant diabetics. The mechanisms of FLD in the transition cow are revisited with attention centered on glycerophospholipid phosphatidylcholine and triglyceride secretion. The relationship between oxidative stress and oxylipids within the context of insulin antagonism, hepatic steatosis and inflammation is also reviewed. Lastly, peripartal hormonal involvement or lack thereof of adipokines (i.e. leptin, adiponectin) and hepatokines (i.e. fibroblast growth factor 21) is described. Similarities and differences in ruminant and non ruminant physiology are routinely showcased. Unraveling the lipidome of the dairy cow has generated breakthroughs in our understanding of periparturient lipid biology. Therapeutic approaches that target FA and complex lipid metabolism holds promise to enhance cow health, well being and productive lifespan.

jsPsych: A JavaScript library for creating behavioral experiments in a Web browser
Year: 2015

Online experiments are growing in popularity, and the increasing sophistication of Web technology has made it possible to run complex behavioral experiments online using only a Web browser. Unlike with offline laboratory experiments, however, few tools exist to aid in the development of browser based experiments. This makes the process of creating an experiment slow and challenging, particularly for researchers who lack a Web development background. This article introduces jsPsych, a JavaScript library for the development of Web based experiments. jsPsych formalizes a way of describing experiments that is much simpler than writing the entire experiment from scratch. jsPsych then executes these descriptions automatically, handling the flow from one task to another. The jsPsych library is open source and designed to be expanded by the research community. The project is available online at www.jspsych.org.
Contactless Continuous Monitoring Of Respiration
Venue: 2021 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)
Year: 2021

Breathing is an important aspect of life. Monitoring of breathing signal plays an important role in clinical practice in order to determine the progression of illness. In this study the contactless modality to detect the breathing signal is assessed. For this purpose, the Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) is used to detect the breathing signal. The test was performed on ten healthy volunteers and one simulator. An automatic algorithm is designed that can determine the efficiency of the contactless modality. The individuals were asked to simulate the conditions of apnea, tachypnea and bradypnea. The simulator was programmed with different respiratory rates in order to assess the functionality of the algorithm. The acquired signals were initially analyzed using manual setting of parameters and then using a standardised algorithm for every individual. The results were compared to determine the functionality. A user friendly application was designed that allows user to set the ranges of high and low respiration rate along with the percentile value. The applications displays the pre acquired breathing signal in real time scenarios along with the breathing tachograph and mean breathing rate. The difference between instantaneous respiration rates was found to be 12.5% (mean value) in the case of signals acquired from human while in case of signal acquired from phantom simulator the same quantity was found to be 1.6%
Semantically Assisted Loop Closure in SLAM Using NDT Histograms
Venue: 2019 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)
Year: 2019

Precise knowledge of pose is of great importance for reliable operation of mobile robots in outdoor environments. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is the online construction of a map during exploration of an environment. One of the components of SLAM is loop closure detection, identifying that the same location has been visited and is present on the existing map, and localizing against it. We have shown in previous work that using semantics from a deep segmentation network in conjunction with the Normal Distributions Transform (NDT) point cloud registration improves the robustness, speed and accuracy of lidar odometry. In this work we extend the method for loop closure detection, using the labels already available from local registration into NDT Histograms, and we present a SLAM pipeline based on Semantic assisted NDT and PointNet We experimentally demonstrate on sequences from the KITTI benchmark that the map descriptor we propose outperforms NDT Histograms without semantics, and we validate its use on a SLAM task.
Epidemiology characteristics and trends of incidence and morphology of stomach cancer in Iran.
Venue: Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention APJCP
Year: 2015

Stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related death through the world. It is predicted that the number of new cancer cases will be more than 15 million cases by 2020. Regarding the lack of studies on this topic in the country, we have thoroughly examined the patho epidemiology of stomach cancer in Iran.  In this cross sectional study data were collected retrospectively reviewing all new stomach cancer patients in Cancer Registry Center report of health deputy for Iran during a 6 year period (2003 2008) The study also examined the morphology of common stomach cancers. Trends in incidence and morphology underwent joinpoint regression analysis.  During the six year period, a total of 35,171 cases of stomach cancer were registered. Average age standardized rate for females and males were equal to 7.1 and 15.1 per 100,000 persons, respectively. Most common histological type was adenocarcinoma, NOS with 21,980 cases (62.50% The annual percentage change (APC) in age standardized incidence rate (per 100,000) was increase in both females and males at 11.1 (CI: 4.3 to 18.3) and 9.2 (CI: 5.2 to 13.4) respectively.  According to our results, the incidence of gastric cancer is increasing in Iran, so further epidemiological studies into the etiology and early detection are essential.
Aproximacion historica a la recoleccion formal e informal en la ciudad de Buenos Aires: la quema de Parque Patricios (1860 1917) y la del Bajo Flores (1920 1977)
Year: 2010

Las investigaciones en torno a la recoleccion de los residuos, lo mismo que las del "cirujeo" han sido muy poco abordadas desde la perspectiva historica. En pos de profundizar sobre esta historia, que puede considerarse "en construccion" el trabajo que aqui presentamos tiene por objetivo analizar las modalidades que tuvo el cirujeo en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, en dos momentos historicos: el primero, entre 1860 y 1917, focalizandonos en el "barrio de las ranas" ubicado en el barrio de Parque Patricios; el segundo, entre la decada de 1920 hasta fines de la decada del '70, centrandonos en el "vaciadero del Bajo Flores" ubicado en los actuales barrios de Flores, Villa Soldati y Villa Lugano. Se trata de dos etapas en que los "cirujas" estuvieron agrupados en "barrios" y en los que el lugar de vida y el de trabajo eran los mismos.

Venue: Carbohydrate polymers
Year: 2020

Growing interests and efforts have been recently focused on design and assembly of novel hydrogel nanosorbents for removal of drugs from wastewater. Therefore, this work is aimed to immobilize and encapsulate starch hydrogel matrix onto metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and dope with nanomagnetite. The magnetic MOFs Starch hydrogel (NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch Hydrogel) was synthesized via microwave irradiation process and characterized with high surface area (528.39 m2/g) mesoporous with pore size 2.90 nm and highly crystalline structure. The maximum swelling ratio (1000.0 was optimized at pH 10, 180 min and 25 degC. The validity of NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch Hydrogel for adsorptive removal of Fluvastatin statin drug provided maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity 782.05 mg g 1. The Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second kinetics models were correlated well with the computed correlation coefficient values 0.9991 and 0.9997, respectively. The validity of NFe3O4@Zn(GA)/Starch Hydrogel for removal of FLV statin drug from real water matrices was confirmed in the range 96.15 99.99
Conceptual Model of Predictors of SMEs' Performance in the Context of Sudan
Year: 2017

SMEsaEUR(tm) performance in Sudan is in downturn and calls for research based solution. To address this, this conceptual study proposes a model entailing management accounting practices (costing, budgeting, and performance measures practices) as predictors of SMEsaEUR(tm) performance. Also, research findings on the relationship between management accounting practices and performance are inconsistent. Given this, this study proposes a model entailing management accounting practices as determinants of SMEsaEUR(tm) performance with moderating role of external business environment. This work is theorized based on extensive literature survey through which a conceptual model is developed and discussed. Inconsistent relationship between management accounting practices and performance is valuated and established via published research. Also, moderating role of external business environment is discussed and validated based on contingency theory. This paper proposes a conceptual model to serve as an answer to how Sudanese SMEsaEUR(tm) performance can be improved through management accounting practices. The proposed model in this work is based on survey of published research, but it can be empirically solidified further through collection and analysis of relevant data. The paper can help SMEsaEUR(tm) owners/ managers and policy makers to understand how properly adopted management accounting practices can improve SMEsaEUR(tm) performance. The proposed conceptual framework is an exceptional and all inclusive model that will expectantly improve the relevant body of literature and serve as useful guide for stakeholders on how the performances of SMEs can be boosted to enable them catch up with the SMEsaEUR(tm) performance level of the developed countries in order to boost the economy of Sudan as a nation.
Advanced Secure Anonymous Authentication Scheme for Roaming Service in Global Mobility Networks
Venue: Wirel. Pers. Commun.
Year: 2017

Recently, user authentication schemes for mobile devices have become increasingly critical. Because of wide use, numerous services for mobile devices are provided, and will continue to be required in the future. Occasionally, users must log on to a server to obtain services, and the server must authenticate that user. Because device resources, such as batteries, are always limited, the authentication scheme must be effective and secure. Recently, Mun et al. proposed their protocol to address this concern, claiming that their more effective scheme overcomes the weaknesses of previously proposed schemes. However, we determined that Mun et al.'s scheme is still sensitive to a masquerade attack and a man in the middle attack, and fails to realize anonymity and prefect forward secrecy. In this field, we propose a novel scheme, which only uses one way hash functions and exclusive OR operations to implement user authentication for roaming services. The proposed scheme both solves the problems of Mun et al.'s scheme and be more effective.
