A Low Cost GPS Data Enhanced Approach for Traffic Network Evaluations
Venue: Int. J. Intell. Transp. Syst. Res.
Year: 2019

Evaluating traffic networks is crucial for administration of roadway systems, to better address congestion, safety, and air quality issues around the globe. However, challenges in implementation abound, including major investment costs, large and dynamic data streams and a need for real time response. Recently developed Global Positioning System (GPS) data loggers are a promising tool for traffic monitoring, thanks to their low cost, ready availability on smartphones, and ability to simultaneously track many travelers and vehicles, relative to expensive, built in traffic GPS. GPS data from many travelers provides real time details of traffic conditions and can improve active traffic management using various big data analytics. We demonstrate how to couple such GPS data to estimate relative roadway speeds in order to improve system management. By analyzing real time traffic surveillance software with high data coupling and concurrent processing, a new coupling method for real time traffic evaluation is proposed. Experimental results show efficient coupling of all available GPS data with road condition can improve traffic state estimation accuracy. This new method may increase matching accuracy by more than 1 m in vehicle position. Over 98% of GPS data can be successfully matched to service routes when the low cost GPS devices are used to detect real time traffic conditions. The results of traffic network evaluation could well serve as a driving assistant for connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AVs) and other traffic operations.
A Fast Feature Similarity Index for Image Quality Assessment
Year: 2015

The main drawback of the phase congruency feature employed in the feature similarity index (FSIM) image quality assessment (IQA) algorithm is its low computational efficiency. In this paper, a novel fast feature similarity index (FFSIM) for image quality assessment is proposed. Based on the fact that human visual system (HVS) responds to the brightness stimulus mainly complying with Weber's law, the proposed FFSIM only performs spatial filtering to quickly calculate the contrast between the current pixel and its background, which is used to compute Weber visual salience similarity and a weighting coefficient in pooling stage after applied nonlinear mapping. Weber contrast and the gradient magnitude play complementary roles in characterizing the image local quality. After obtaining the local quality map, we use Weber weighting coefficient again as a weighting coefficient to derive a single quality score. As such, the multi scale version of the FFSIM algorithm, i.e. MS FFSIM is also proposed, which complies with the spatial frequency response characteristics of the HVS system. Extensive experiments performed on six publicly available IQA databases demonstrate that the proposed FFSIM and MS FFSIM can achieve higher consistency with the subjective evaluations than state of the art IQA metrics and the computational efficiency is greatly improved as well.
Research on Translation of Business English from the Perspective of Functional Equivalence Theory
Year: 2019

Business English is a kind of English, which mainly used in business cooperation and has very strong practical functions. The most important thing to translate business English is to realize the interconnection o sentences in different cultural and linguistic contexts so that they can be accepted by people in different contexts. Functional equivalence in business English translation is the prerequisite for effective translation. Only in this way can we improve our business English translation ability and achieve greater success in future employment. From the perspective of functional equivalence, this paper explores the problems that should be paid attention to in business English translation to further study and explore.
Replacing synthetic N with clovers or alfalfa in bermudagrass pastures. 2. Herbage nutritive value for growing beef steers
Year: 2017

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of including alfalfa (ALF, Medicago sativa L. or a combination of white (Trifolium repens L. and red (Trifolium pretense L. clovers (CLVR) inter seeded into bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L. Pers. on herbage nutritive value compared with monocultures of bermudagrass fertilised with 0 (0N) 56 (56N) or 112 (112N) kg nitrogen (N)/ha over four grazing seasons. At the end of the fourth year (during the winter) legume plants in ALF and CLVR were killed and the carryover N benefit on bermudagrass nutritive value was evaluated during the fifth year. Pre grazing herbage of all pastures exceeded the dietary recommendations for growing steers to maintain 0.9 kg/day average daily liveweight gain for crude protein and total digestible nutrients, 118 and 617 g kg/DM, respectively. Post grazing herbage in ALF was below 600 g/kg total digestible nutrients at all times during the grazing season, post grazing total digestible nutrients of CLVR was below 600 g/kg during the late summer and autumn. Post grazing herbage of monoculture bermudagrass pastures fell below 600 g/kg in the middle of summer regardless of N fertilisation. Carryover N benefits of legumes were similar to 112N in the early summer, but were not different than 0N and 56N during the late summer and autumn. Replacing applications of synthetic N in bermudagrass swards with inter seeding of either clovers or alfalfa produce herbage with equivalent nutritive value to heavily N fertilised monocultures of bermudagrass during the early summer, and similar to moderately N fertilised in the late summer and autumn. The inclusion of legumes in bermudagrass swards can reduce the reliance on synthetic N fertilisation with little overall effect on herbage nutritive quality possibly decreasing environmental impacts of grazing production systems.
A Modified AODV to Cope with Marine Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Year: 2014

This Marine mobile ad hoc network (MMANET) is a dynamic wireless network, and the random mobility of ship nodes and limited radio transmission range are the main challenges in the design of the robust routing algorithm. Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad hoc On Demand Vector Routing (AODV) are typical on demand protocols, but if there are some nodes moving with random fast velocity and limited transmission range in communication network, the network will be under an unstable link state and this situation may lead to large delay and packet loss. In this paper, a new scheme named Dynamic Link Self healing mechanism on the basis of Mobility Quantization AODV (DLMQ AODV) is proposed to solve the problem. Mobility quantization of node is resulting from relative velocity and distance, through computation of weighting, dimensionless etc. We take advantage of mobility quantization to establish dynamic link self healing mechanism in order to improve the routing performance. The simulation results show that DLMQ AODV has a better performance in comparison to DSR and AODV.
Synergistic interplay between human MSCs and HUVECs in 3D spheroids laden in collagen/fibrin hydrogels for bone tissue engineering.
Venue: Acta biomaterialia
Year: 2019

Stem cell encapsulation in hydrogels has been widely employed in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, organ on a chip devices and gene delivery; however, fabrication of native like bone tissue using such a strategy has been a challenge, particularly in vitro, due to the limited cell loading densities resulting in weaker cell cell interactions and lesser extra cellular matrix deposition. In particular, scalable bone tissue constructs require vascular network to provide enough oxygen and nutrient supplies to encapsulated cells. To enhance stem cell function and generate pre vascularized network, we here employed collagen/fibrin hydrogel as an encapsulation matrix for the incorporation of human mesenchymal stem cell/human umbilical vein endothelial cell (MSC/HUVEC) spheroids, and investigated their cellular behavior (including cell viability, morphology, proliferation, and gene expression profile) and compared to that of cell suspension or MSC spheroids laden hydrogels. MSC/HUVEC spheroids encapsulated in collagen/fibrin hydrogel showed better cell spreading and proliferation, and up regulated osteogenic differentiation, and demonstrated pre vascular network formation. Overall, MSC/HUVEC spheroids laden hydrogels provided a highly suitable 3D microenvironment for bone tissue formation, which can be utilized in various applications, such as but not limited to tissue engineering, disease modeling and drug screening.  Stem cell encapsulation in hydrogels has been widely used in various areas such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, organ on a chip devices and gene delivery; however, fabrication of native like bone tissue using such an approach has been a challenge, particularly in vitro, due to the limited cell loading densities resulting in weaker cell cell interactions and lesser extra cellular matrix deposition. Here in this work, we have encapsulated spheroids of human mesenchymal stems cells (MSCs) in collagen/fibrin hydrogel and evaluated their viability, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and bone formation potential in vitro with respect to cell suspension laden hydrogel samples. We have further incorporated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) into MSC spheroids and demonstrated that the presence of HUVECs in 3D spheroid culture in collagen/fibrin gel induced the formation of pre vascular network, improved cell viability and proliferation, enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of spheroids, and increased their bone mineral deposition. In sum, MSC/HUVEC spheroids laden hydrogels provided a highly suitable 3D microenvironment for bone tissue formation, which can be utilized in various applications, such as but not limited to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, disease modeling and drug screening.
Environmental effect of resort centres on the distribution of aquatic insect fauna in Ethiope River, Delta State, Nigeria
Year: 2017

Aquatic insects are macroinvertebrates that live on or associated with bottom of freshwater bodies[1] Their pivotal role in nutrients circulation cannot be over emphasized in aquatic environment. Aquatic invertebrates are the link between unobtainable nutrients in detritus and protein materials in fishes[1,2] Their role in fasttracking the breakdown of putrefying organic material into smaller inorganic forms such as nitrate and phosphate is also well documented[3] These nutrients are usually utilized by aquatic plants in the ecosystem. Aquatic insects commonly used as biological indicator have been effective in monitoring environmental pollution and water quality[4,5] The sensitivity and forbearance to environmental perturbation exhibited by aquatic insects vary considerably among orders and species. The composition and distribution of aquatic insect at any given point in a water course is a reflection of its water quality[5] This makes aquatic insect a valuable tool in pollution and water quality assessment. Species richness of aquatic insects can be influenced by physicochemical parameters [temperature, dissolve oxygen (DO) biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and turbidity] of water. The structural composition of insect communities has been the focus of many researches on aquatic system. The mere presence or absence of an individual of a species provides little information of ARTICLE INFO
Romantic Imagination and Maternal Guilt in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Year: 2017

Buckley examines what happens to the analogy between imaginative creativity and reproductive fecundity in a Romantic reworking of maternal imagination such as Frankenstein. Shelley literalises the reproductive metaphor in the novel and self consciously exposes a set of assumptions about women, imagination, and pregnancy. Shelley dissects medical view that full responsibility for the pregnancy should devolve onto the mother; the resulting cultural pressure placed upon expectant mothers; and the Romantic tendency to merge reproductive and literary creativity. Shelley critiques the scapegoat mentality produced by medico cultural blame; by emphasising Victor Frankenstein's guilt regarding the creation of his monstrous child to address the way that Romantic writers eschewed the problematic elements of maternal imagination such as guilt, shame and fear, while appropriating its valuable creative and transformative qualities.
CNN Based Adversarial Embedding for Image Steganography
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security
Year: 2019

Steganographic schemes are commonly designed in a way to preserve image statistics or steganalytic features. Since most of the state of the art steganalytic methods employ a machine learning (ML) based classifier, it is reasonable to consider countering steganalysis by trying to fool the ML classifiers. However, simply applying perturbations on stego images as adversarial examples may lead to the failure of data extraction and introduce unexpected artifacts detectable by other classifiers. In this paper, we present a steganographic scheme with a novel operation called adversarial embedding (ADV EMB) which achieves the goal of hiding a stego message while at the same time fooling a convolutional neural network (CNN) based steganalyzer. The proposed method works under the conventional framework of distortion minimization. In particular, ADV EMB adjusts the costs of image elements modifications according to the gradients back propagated from the target CNN steganalyzer. Therefore, modification direction has a higher probability to be the same as the inverse sign of the gradient. In this way, the so called adversarial stego images are generated. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed steganographic scheme achieves better security performance against the target adversary unaware steganalyzer by increasing its missed detection rate. In addition, it deteriorates the performance of other adversary aware steganalyzers, opening the way to a new class of modern steganographic schemes capable of overcoming powerful CNN based steganalysis.

The Absence of Reflection on Language in Hegel's Master/Slave Dialectic
Year: 2014

The famous passage of ,The Master/Slave Dialectic," also known as the passage of ,Lordship and Bondage" is part of the section on ,Self Consciousness" in Hegel's Phenomenology (Hegel, 111 119) In that passage Hegel masterfully demonstrates that becoming a ,self consciousness" is a social phenomenon. It requires recognition. It is not a solitary achievement. However, Hegel locates the fight for recognition in a physical fight. Other authors, such as Spitz and Benveniste, have located the fight for recognition in the domain of language, particularly the ability to say no (Spitz) and to use pronouns (Benveniste) I will first summarize Hegel's passage on the master/slave dialectic. I will then show how Hegel assumes that language has a crucial function in the achievement of real self recognition but he does not deduce in this passage the function of language as necessary. Next, I will show that Hegel himself locates real self consciousness in a moral consciousness when it develops a conscience. Such a conscience then needs to accept its radical finitude and needs to ask and give forgiveness. Hegel calls this act of mutual asking and giving forgiveness the necessary requirement to achieve real recognition and enter the life of the Spirit. Asking and giving forgiveness is, however, a linguistic act. Hegel himself thus invites us to see the role of language in the becoming of self consciousness. I will finish this paper with a presentation of the ideas of the above mentioned authors (Spitz and Benveniste) who explicitly defend a linguistic basis for self consciousness.
Solving multi objective economic emission dispatch of a renewable integrated microgrid using latest bio inspired algorithms
Venue: Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal
Year: 2019

The concept of a microgrid system, when put in simple words, is a small scale generation and deployment of power to a small geographical area in order to avoid transmission losses and maintain an uninterrupted power supply. It has been a mandatory protocol to implement the available renewable energy sources (RES) in order to minimize the emission of harmful pollutants to the atmosphere from the combustion of the fossil fuels. Economic load dispatch (ELD) deals with the optimal sizing of the distributed energy resources (DERs) by minimizing the fuel costs. Emission dispatch does the optimal sizing of the DERs sources by minimizing the amount of pollutants released in the atmosphere. A multi objective Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) does the optimal DER sizing providing a compromised solution of minimizing both the fuel costs and pollutants emission. This paper performs all ELD, emission dispatch and CEED on an islanded and renewable integrated microgrid separately using a recently developed novel Whale optimization Algorithm (WOA) Four various scenarios of load sharing among the DERs are studied. The results are then compared with other recently developed bio inspired algorithms to corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Further statistical analysis such as ANOVA test and Wilcoxon signed rank test are performed to prove the superiority of the proposed approach over the various other optimization techniques used.
Pleiotropic effects of ebony and tan on pigmentation and cuticular hydrocarbon composition in Drosophila melanogaster
Year: 2019

Pleiotropic genes are genes that affect more than one trait. For example, many genes required for pigmentation in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster also affect traits such as circadian rhythms, vision, and mating behavior. Here, we present evidence that two pigmentation genes, ebony and tan, which encode enzymes catalyzing reciprocal reactions in the melanin biosynthesis pathway, also affect cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) composition in D. melanogaster females. More specifically, we report that ebony loss of function mutants have a CHC profile that is biased toward long >25C) chain CHCs, whereas tan loss of function mutants have a CHC profile that is biased toward short <25C) chain CHCs. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of dopamine synthesis, a key step in the melanin synthesis pathway, reversed the changes in CHC composition seen in ebony mutants, making the CHC profiles similar to those seen in tan mutants. These observations suggest that genetic variation affecting ebony and/or tan activity might cause correlated changes in pigmentation and CHC composition in natural populations. We tested this possibility using the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) and found that CHC composition covaried with pigmentation as well as levels of ebony and tan expression in newly eclosed adults in a manner consistent with the ebony and tan mutant phenotypes. These data suggest that the pleiotropic effects of ebony and tan might contribute to covariation of pigmentation and CHC profiles in Drosophila.
Genetic Resources and Diversity in Pakistani Goats
Year: 2007

Goats are the fastest growing ruminants in Pakistan. Preference for goat meat is the major reason for its increased demand. There are 25 goat breeds in the country and two wild relatives such as Markhor and Ibex. Estimated goat population in the country in 2006 is 53.8 millions. Documentation of goat breeds have depended mostly on the annual reports of various research institutes involved in goat production. Meat is the primary breeding objective and milk gets the secondary importance. Appreciable diversity among and within goat breeds exists for morphological, growth, fertility and other traits. Adult body weight, for example, may vary from 20 200 kg. Crossbreeding at farmer level continues to some extent. Organized crossbreeding efforts include crossing of Hairy and imported Angora for the production of mohair. However, crossbreds could not achieve status of commercial animals and are being kept as pets. Any new attempt for crossbreeding should thus be recommended in the light of previous attempts, because short term breeding objectives and limited technical and financial resources could result in failures only. Within breed selection is a preferred strategy for improvement of traits of economic importance but this requires capacity building of various stakeholders. Indigenous goat resources can be better utilized on sustainable basis if efforts of research and development address indigenous problems. Breed documentation both at phenotypic and genetic level is a priority research area.
The Political Role of Service Delivery in State Building: Exploring the Relevance of European History for Developing Countries
Year: 2010

Concerns about failed and fragile states have put state and nation building firmly on the academic and policy agenda, but the crucial role of public services in this process has remained underexplored. The 1960s and 70s generated a substantial set of literature that is largely missing from current writing. It identified state penetration, standardisation and accommodation as key processes in the state and nation building sequence. This article analyses these three processes in Western Europe in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, and the role of public services therein, to explore how they may help us to understand the success and failure of state and nation building in developing countries and fragile states.
