Year: 2020

The American serpentine leafminer, L. trifolii (Burgess) is one of the most problematic insect pest species attacking large number of vegetable crops, weeds and, ornamentals.  The purpose of this study is to investigate population abundance and host plant preference of L. trifolii on four winter host plants under Libyan conditions.  Four winter host plants were studied [broad bean (Veciafaba) pea (Pisum sativum) fenugreek (trigonella finum gradum) and snow thistle (Sonchus oleraceus) The experimental field was about 1600m which divided to 12 equal plots (4 plots for each plant) Hundred leaflets infested with L. trifolii were taken from each host plant. Samples were kept in plastic bags and transferred to be examined in the laboratory. Number of living L. trifolii larvae were counted and recorded.  Four winter host plants were targeted for this study [broad bean (Veciafaba) pea (Pisum sativum) fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) and snow thistle (Sonchus oleraceus) during the Original Research Article Elkhouly et al. AJAHR, 7(2) 8 15, 2020; Article no.AJAHR.62347 9 growing season 2018/2019 in Alejelat region. L trifolii showed low populations in December on all studied host plants. then, developed high populations in February and March then the population decreased till the end of the growing season. L trifolii recorded four peaks of abundance on all host plants, except snow thistle (3 peaks) the highest peak recorded 488, 322, 152 and 187 individuals/ 100 infested leaflets on broad bean, pea, fenugreek and snow thistle respectively. L. trifolii showed its highest monthly average numbers in February on Broad bean, Pea and, Fenugreek recording (383.25 81.05, 256.75 55.18 and, 101.5 37.36 individuals 100 infested leaflets) respectively and, (153.27 27.10 individuals 100 infested leaflets) for Snow thistle in April.

Definition and Computation of the Degradation Rates of Photovoltaic Systems of Different Technologies With Robust Principal Component Analysis
Venue: IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics
Year: 2015

Grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems have become a significant constituent of the power supply mix. A challenge faced by both users and suppliers of PV systems is that of defining and computing a reliable metric of annual degradation rate while in service. This paper defines a new measure to calculate the degradation rate of PV systems from the PV field measured performance ratio (PR) At first, the PR time series is processed by conventional principal component analysis, which yields seasonality as the dominant data feature. The environment, operating conditions, uncertainty, and hardware used for monitoring influence the outdoor measurements unpredictably. These influences are viewed as perturbations that render the dominant feature obtained by PCA unsuitable to be used in a degradation rate definition. Robust principal component analysis (RPCA) is proposed to alleviate these effects. The new measure is defined as the area enclosed by the time series of the corrected by the RPCA annual monthly PR values. The degradation rates obtained for different technologies are compared with those obtained in previous studies. The results have shown that the degradation rates estimated by RPCA were in good agreement with previous investigations and provided increased confidence due to mitigation of uncertainty.
Managing Urban Expansion in Mongolia: Best Practices in Scenario Based Urban Planning
Year: 2010

The sustainable development of ger areas in Ulaanbaatar (UB) the capital city of Mongolia, is one of the critical development issues facing the country. The transitions to a market economy and a series of severe winters (called zud) have resulted in the large scale migration of low income families into the ger areas of UB. The city represents 40 percent of the nation's population and generates more than 60 percent of Mongolia's gross domestic product (GDP) This migration pattern has led to an unprecedented expansion of the ger areas. The traditional built up areas of the city center comprise some 130 km2, but the total administrative area of UB, including ger areas, is now estimated at about 4,700 km2. The population of the ger areas is now estimated to make up about 60 percent of the total population of UB. The city's population has grown from 600,000 in 1989 to more than 1 million in 2007 and is expected to reach 1.3 million in 2015. The intent of this report is to clarify the costs and benefits of different development paths. These paths include: (a) conversion of ger areas into apartment building complexes, (b) gradual improvement of urban services for existing ger areas, and (c) further expansion of ger areas at the fringe of the city.
Mercantilism Reimagined: Political Economy in Early Modern Britain and Its Empire Edited by Philip J. Stern and Carl Wennerlind (review)
Year: 2014

as it must, the regime would suffer a loss of credibility. The government needed a means by which to determine the truthfulness of informers. As it happened, late seventeenth century intellectual developments the work of the Royal Society, for one provided several criteria to ascertain truthfulness, some of which have a modern ring: Testimony for which informers received money or for which they received reduced sentences was sometimes considered suspect. Furthermore, informers' trustworthiness might be confirmed through the combined evidence of their class, the documentation that they submitted, or their plain speaking. The credibility of women informers was sometimes judged by their sexual behavior; the more promiscuous the woman, the greater was the tendency to doubt her word (not one to forget the ladies, Weil offers considerable coverage of their activities) As for the conflict between liberty and national security, Weil examines, among other things, the role of the national post office, the duty of which was to serve its subjects. However, government fears of Jacobite uprisings and invasions led it to hijack the postal service for the purpose of spying and opening the mail of ordinary people a policy that turned the post office into a surveillance arm of the government. One of the most commendable aspects of Weil's study is her use of case studies based on a wide variety of sources, including a wealth of archival materials. This methodology allows her to humanize the citizen informers to whom she gives voice with well selected quotations. Moreover,Weil's ability to read between the lines provides access not only to the thoughts of these English men and women; it also allows her to access their emotional and affective states. This methodological bent is reminiscent of the "Cambridge School" of philosophy and the linguistic turn of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Alfred J. Ayer, and John L. Austin, who were less interested in what writers or speakers meant by their words than in what they were trying to do with them. Whether or not Weil composed this book with this approach in mind, she brings an analytical depth to her reading of seventeenth century voices that scholars would do well to emulate. Finally, althoughWeil's book is not always an easy read, her writing is usually accessible, down to earth, and not without humor. Both specialists and non specialists can learn from and enjoy it.
Unsupervised Online Video Object Segmentation With Motion Property Understanding
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Image Processing
Year: 2020

Unsupervised video object segmentation aims to automatically segment moving objects over an unconstrained video without any user annotation. So far, only few unsupervised online methods have been reported in the literature, and their performance is still far from satisfactory because the complementary information from future frames cannot be processed under online setting. To solve this challenging problem, in this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised online video object segmentation (UOVOS) framework by construing the motion property to mean moving in concurrence with a generic object for segmented regions. By incorporating the salient motion detection and the object proposal, a pixel wise fusion strategy is developed to effectively remove detection noises, such as dynamic background and stationary objects. Furthermore, by leveraging the obtained segmentation from immediately preceding frames, a forward propagation algorithm is employed to deal with unreliable motion detection and object proposals. Experimental results on several benchmark datasets demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method. Compared to state of the art unsupervised online segmentation algorithms, the proposed method achieves an absolute gain of 6.2% Moreover, our method achieves better performance than the best unsupervised offline algorithm on the DAVIS 2016 benchmark dataset. Our code is available on the project website: https:/www.github.com/visiontao/uovos.
Northern Hemisphere forcing of Southern Hemisphere climate during the last deglaciation
Venue: Nature
Year: 2013

According to the Milankovitch theory, changes in summer insolation in the high latitude Northern Hemisphere caused glacial cycles through their impact on ice sheet mass balance. Statistical analyses of long climate records supported this theory, but they also posed a substantial challenge by showing that changes in Southern Hemisphere climate were in phase with or led those in the north. Although an orbitally forced Northern Hemisphere signal may have been transmitted to the Southern Hemisphere, insolation forcing can also directly influence local Southern Hemisphere climate, potentially intensified by sea ice feedback, suggesting that the hemispheres may have responded independently to different aspects of orbital forcing. Signal processing of climate records cannot distinguish between these conditions, however, because the proposed insolation forcings share essentially identical variability. Here we use transient simulations with a coupled atmosphere ocean general circulation model to identify the impacts of forcing from changes in orbits, atmospheric CO2 concentration, ice sheets and the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) on hemispheric temperatures during the first half of the last deglaciation (22 14.3 kyr bp) Although based on a single model, our transient simulation with only orbital changes supports the Milankovitch theory in showing that the last deglaciation was initiated by rising insolation during spring and summer in the mid latitude to high latitude Northern Hemisphere and by terrestrial snow albedo feedback. The simulation with all forcings best reproduces the timing and magnitude of surface temperature evolution in the Southern Hemisphere in deglacial proxy records. AMOC changes associated with an orbitally induced retreat of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets is the most plausible explanation for the early Southern Hemisphere deglacial warming and its lead over Northern Hemisphere temperature; the ensuing rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration provided the critical feedback on global deglaciation.
Evaluating the feasibility of a consumer grade wearable EEG headband to aid assessment of state and trait mindfulness.
Venue: Journal of clinical psychology
Year: 2021

Measures from wearable devices could be a valuable supplement to mindfulness assessment and intervention. This observational study evaluated measures from a consumer grade EEG headband (Muse, InteraXon, Inc. as novel correlates of state mindfulness during focused attention meditation.  Adult participants (N 68, Mage 22.66, SDage 7.35) completed a task based measure of state mindfulness and thought probe measures of subjective mind wandering while meditating with the EEG headband. A subset completed 14 days of home practice (n 29) RESULTS Device measures were sensitive to attention lapses within participants in the state mindfulness task (d 0.56) and had large between participants associations for the same task (r 0.50) Mean device metrics from home practice together explained approximately 30% of variance in self reported trait mindfulness, attentional control, nonattachment, and decentering.  EEG biomarkers show potential as correlates of mindfulness with distinct benefits over existing assessment methods.

Nonlinear system identification of fractional Wiener models
Year: 2018

The Wiener model is a case of block oriented model, which is suitable for modeling a large class of nonlinear systems. It consists of the cascade of two parts, where a linear dynamic part is followed by a static nonlinear part. On the other hand, fractional order models have gained increasing interest over the last decades due to their better representation of some physical phenomena. In this paper, the fractional Wiener system identification is aimed. The polynomial nonlinear fractional state space equations are used to describe the nonlinear model. Thus, the extension of an output error method (Levenberg Marquard algorithm) is developed to estimate the fractional Wiener system. The efficiency of the identification method is evaluated and confirmed by simulation examples.
The VITamin D and OmegA 3 TriaL (VITAL) rationale and design of a large randomized controlled trial of vitamin D and marine omega 3 fatty acid supplements for the primary prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Venue: Contemporary clinical trials
Year: 2012

Data from laboratory studies, observational research, and/or secondary prevention trials suggest that vitamin D and marine omega 3 fatty acids may reduce risk for cancer or cardiovascular disease (CVD) but primary prevention trials with adequate dosing in general populations (i.e. unselected for disease risk) are lacking. The ongoing VITamin D and OmegA 3 TriaL (VITAL) is a large randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, 2 x 2 factorial trial of vitamin D (in the form of vitamin D(3) [cholecalciferol] 2000 IU/day) and marine omega 3 fatty acid (Omacor fish oil, eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA]+docosahexaenoic acid [DHA] 1g/day) supplements in the primary prevention of cancer and CVD among a multi ethnic population of 20,000 U.S. men aged 50 and women aged 55. The mean treatment period will be 5 years. Baseline blood samples will be collected in at least 16,000 participants, with follow up blood collection in about 6000 participants. Yearly follow up questionnaires will assess treatment compliance (plasma biomarker measures will also assess compliance in a random sample of participants) use of non study drugs or supplements, occurrence of endpoints, and cancer and vascular risk factors. Self reported endpoints will be confirmed by medical record review by physicians blinded to treatment assignment, and deaths will be ascertained through national registries and other sources. Ancillary studies will investigate whether these agents affect risk for diabetes and glucose intolerance; hypertension; cognitive decline; depression; osteoporosis and fracture; physical disability and falls; asthma and other respiratory diseases; infections; and rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid diseases, and other autoimmune disorders.

The Effects of Flow, Emotional Engagement, and Motivation on Success in a Gamified Online Learning Environment
Year: 2020

This study aimed to examine the factors that explain academic success in a gamified online learning environment considering flow, emotional engagement, and motivation. The gamified online learning environment was used by 40 undergraduate students, and the data gathered from them. A hypothetical path model showing the interaction of variables with each other was suggested and tested. The experience of flow and emotional engagement in the gamified learning setting had a highly significant impact on motivation. Furthermore, it was concluded that flow increased academic success through increasing motivation. In line with numerous studies in the literature, motivation was determined to have a positive effect on academic success. In addition, the results show that flow and emotional engagement explained 68% of variance of motivation; flow, emotional engagement, and motivation explained 22% of variance of academic success. It is suggested that subsequent studies should focus on the establishment and testing of models that would help to explain success in gamified settings which should incorporate game elements and player types in the structural model.

Social media enabled healthcare: A conceptual model of social media affordances, online social support, and health behaviors and outcomes
Year: 2021

Due to the popularity of social media, patients are increasingly using social media for the social support exchange to improve health outcomes. To understand this phenomenon of social media enabled healthcare, we propose a conceptual framework by integrating literature from three areas social media affordance, online social support, and health behaviors and outcomes with the goal of developing propositions on how social media can help patients improve self management of chronic diseases. We identified and distinguished three social media affordances: affordance for community co creation, affordance for social learning, and affordance for social relationships. We also distinguish three kinds of social support and tailored them to the healthcare domain and the social media context: informational support, emotional support, and experiential support. We posit the following: (a) social media affordances foster social support, where co creation facilitates informational support, user interaction facilitates emotional support, and social learning facilitates experiential support; (b) informational support and experiential support are both linked to self care; and (c) informational support and emotional support are both linked to psychological health. Our work advances the literature in the area of social media enabled healthcare.
