Effective urban transport planning using multi modal traffic simulations approach
Venue: 2016 Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (MERCon)
Year: 2016

Multi modal transportation planning refers to traffic analysis that considers various modes of transportation mechanisms such as walking, cycling, motorcycles, private passenger vehicles, delivery cargo vehicles, public transportation modes like buses or trains, etc. Effective city traffic planning has become a challenging task involving complex behavioral analysis of multi modal traffic scenarios. New ventures of research solutions and effective multi modal traffic strategies should be explored to mitigate ever rising issues related to traffic congestion. Before new solutions are to be deployed on real traffic environments, it requires recurring experiments to be carried out and comprehensive testing cycles to be passed through. Hence, simulators play a crucial supporting role by emulating real environments during trials. In this paper, we investigate interdependencies and effects between different transportation modes by simulating pedestrian movements, different private transport modes and public transport avenues and propose an effective transport planning strategy using multi modal simulation approach. We have selected Colombo city in Sri Lanka as our study region and used SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) a well known microscopic traffic simulator for simulations. Our experiment results show that there are supporting strong evidences exist that interdependencies between multi modal transportation modes contribute significantly to effective urban traffic planning.

Nonlinear calibrating method for multiple temperature points of pressure sensor
Year: 2013

The invention relates to the relevant technical field of pressure characteristic value acquisition of pressure sensors, in particular to a method and a system for acquiring a pressure characteristic value of a pressure sensor with a nonlinear temperature compensation algorithm. The method includes the steps: sampling the pressure characteristic value of the pressure sensor to obtain a pressure characteristic value D; calculating a temperature drift correction coefficient delta t related with the outside temperature according to the outside temperature; and calculating a corrected value D+delta Dt of the pressure characteristic value. The sensor is calibrated by an upper computer, the upper computer makes a data sheet according to a series of data measured at different temperatures and under different pressures in calibration as the upper computer can execute large scale computation, a calculating parameter for calculating the pressure value can be rapidly found in an EEProm (electrically erasable programmable read only memory) sheet according to signals measured by a temperature sensor and the pressure sensor when a lower computer is used for measurement, and an accurate pressure value is obtained by calculating. As the temperature drift correction coefficient is added, acquisition accuracy of the pressure characteristic value is remarkably and particularly improved by the aid of a one step compensation method in a high temperature area and a low temperature area.
External stenting of pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis and pancreatic duct after pancreaticoduodenectomy
Venue: Updates in Surgery
Year: 2012

Pancreatic fistula is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. External drainage of pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis with a stent is used to reduce the rate of pancreatic fistula. This study compares the rates of pancreatic fistula between external stent drainage versus no stent drainage for pancreaticojejunal anastomosis following pancreaticoduodenectomy. A total of 53 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for various benign and malignant pathologies were included in the study. An external stent was inserted across the anastomosis to drain the pancreatic duct in 26 patients and 27 patients received no stent. The primary end point was pancreatic fistula. All surgeries were done by a single surgeon with expertise in hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery at a single institute. The two groups were comparable in demographic data, underlying pathologies, presenting complaints, presence of comorbid illnesses and proportion of patients with preoperative biliary drainage, pancreatic consistency and duct diameter. The pancreatic fistula rates were similar in both the groups (11.5 vs. 14.8 P 0.725) The morbidity and surgical re exploration rate were statistically not significant between the two groups (65.4 vs. 51.9 P 0.318 and 11.5 vs. 7.4 P 0.60) Postoperative stay was also similar with a mean of 14 days in both the groups (P 0.66) The mortality rate was statistically not significant in the two groups (3.8 vs. 7.4 P 0.575) External drainage of pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis and the pancreatic duct with a stent does not decrease the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
The automatic creation of concept maps from documents written using morphologically rich languages
Venue: Expert Syst. Appl.
Year: 2012

Concept map is a graphical tool for representing knowledge. They have been used in many different areas, including education, knowledge management, business and intelligence. Constructing of concept maps manually can be a complex task; an unskilled person may encounter difficulties in determining and positioning concepts relevant to the problem area. An application that recommends concept candidates and their position in a concept map can significantly help the user in that situation. This paper gives an overview of different approaches to automatic and semi automatic creation of concept maps from textual and non textual sources. The concept map mining process is defined, and one method suitable for the creation of concept maps from unstructured textual sources in highly inflected languages such as the Croatian language is described in detail. Proposed method uses statistical and data mining techniques enriched with linguistic tools. With minor adjustments, that method can also be used for concept map mining from textual sources in other morphologically rich languages.
Rapid multi analyte quantification of benzophenone, 4 methylbenzophenone and related derivatives from paperboard food packaging
Venue: Food additives contaminants. Part A, Chemistry, analysis, control, exposure risk assessment
Year: 2010

Photo initiators are used in printing inks hardened with UV light and one of the most commonly used photo initiators is benzophenone (BP) Recent notifications under the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed have shown migration of 4 methylbenzophenone (4 MBP) from packaging into cereals. A specific migration limit exists for BP of 0.6 mg kg 1 for its use as an additive in plastics. There is no specific European legislation covering cardboard boxes and/or printing inks for food contact use. However, due to the high levels detected, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published recommendations and the Standing Committee for the Food Chain and Animal Health endorsed a limit of 0.6 mg kg 1 for the sum of BP and 4 MBP. While studies have been published on photo initiators in the past, there is a fundamental lack of data on 4 MBP especially for its combined analysis with others. We present an HPLC method with diode array detector to simultaneously determine the levels of BP, 4 MBP as well as 7 other possible derivatives from secondary packaging for food applications. The method was tested and applied to 46 samples of paperboard for secondary packaging collected both from supermarkets and directly from a paperboard supplier. In addition, a survey was conducted on recycled paperboard (n 19) collected from a supplier, to evaluate the background quantity of BP and other derivatives in recycled board. The most abundant photo initiator found in the survey was BP, in 61% of samples, and 4 MBP was found in 30% of the samples. It seems that these compounds are used to replace one another. Other derivatives were found in minor quantities. Traces of BP were also found in 42% of the samples of recycled, unprinted board.
International Conference on the Application of Physical Modelling in Coastal and Port Engineering and Science Coastlab 16
Year: 2016

The combination of various hydraulic models (both physical and numerical) and available field data is a unique research platform to setup an intercomparison between different results of these models. This kind of research is rather scarce due to lack of data or only one single model in most research projects. In a large integrated research project for the port of Zeebrugge, Flanders Hydraulics Research had the opportunity to combine the results of two models in order to perform a detailed analysis of the tidal current in front of a coastal port and to find the best alternative layout for this port. It was also a good occasion to evaluate and to improve the various modeling techniques. The model intercomparison showed corresponding results and also differences in the current velocity. Based on the analysis it can be recommended to consider not only the output values of a model but to calculate the relative outcome of different runs to interpret the impact of modified layouts of the port.
Big Data Analysis Based Secure Cluster Management for Optimized Control Plane in Software Defined Networks
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management
Year: 2018

In software defined networks (SDNs) the abstracted control plane is its symbolic characteristic, whose core component is the software based controller. The control plane is logically centralized, but the controllers can be physically distributed and composed of multiple nodes. To meet the service management requirements of large scale network scenarios, the control plane is usually implemented in the form of distributed controller clusters. Cluster management technology monitors all types of events and must maintain a consistent global network status, which usually leads to big data in SDNs. Simultaneously, the cluster security is an open issue because of the programmable and dynamic features of SDNs. To address the above challenges, this paper proposes a big data analysis based secure cluster management architecture for the optimized control plane. A security authentication scheme is proposed for cluster management. Moreover, we propose an ant colony optimization approach that enables big data analysis scheme and the implementation system that optimizes the control plane. Simulations and comparisons show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme is significant in improving the security and efficiency SDN control plane.
Globalization, Architecture, and Town Planning in a Colonial City: The Case of Jaffa and Tel Aviv
Year: 2007

This article explores how modernity and globalization unfolded in the neighboring cities of Jaffa and Tel Aviv during the long twentieth century. Each city was the cultural and economic capital of its respective national community, because of which they were in continual contact and conflict in a manner that often muddied the nationalistically determined boundaries between them. I explore how, beginning with Tel Aviv's establishment in 1909, Zionist leaders deployed a narrative of progress and modernity versus tradition and stagnation to effect a discursive, and ultimately a physical, erasure of the Palestinian Arab population of the region surrounding both towns. I argue that such paradigms, and the ideologies that support them, are fundamental components of globalization, whether in the era of "high imperialism" when Jaffa and Tel Aviv's conflict began, or today. Next I move to the contemporary period and explore the intersection of globalization, tourism, and the liberalized market. I conclude by discussing how a "spatialization" of the contemporary Jaffa is crucial to understanding the continuing conflict between Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs, both within the borders of 1967 Israel and across the Green Line as well.
Beyond self help
Year: 2017

Many crime victims choose not to report their victimization to police or other formal authorities. However, understanding the nature of both reported and underreported crime is critical to proper allocation of criminal justice funding and resources. The present paper examines gun ownership as a potentially overlooked predictor of crime reporting, drawing on Black's theory of self help as social control. The present study tests whether the self help orientation of gun owners is associated with a lower likelihood of reporting victimization to police. Data are drawn from the 2000 and 2004/5 waves of the International Crime Victimization Survey (ICVS) Hierarchical linear models are used to assess both individual variation and cross cultural variation. Findings show that gun owners who own their weapons for reasons other than protection are more likely to report their victimization than non owners. However, gun owners are less likely than non owners to report their victimization in highly developed nations. Explanations for these findings and avenues for future research are discussed.

Deep learning improves automated rodent behavior recognition within a specific experimental setup
Venue: Journal of Neuroscience Methods
Year: 2020

Automated observation and analysis of rodent behavior is important to facilitate research progress in neuroscience and pharmacology. Available automated systems lack adaptivity and can benefit from advances in AI. In this work we compare a state of the art conventional Rat Behavior Recognition (RBR) system to an advanced deep learning method and evaluate its performance within and across experimental setups. We show that using a Multi Fiber network (MF Net) in conjunction with data augmentation strategies within setup dataset performance improves over the conventional RBR system. Two new methods for video augmentation were used: video cutout and dynamic illumination change. However, we also show that improvements do not transfer to videos in different experimental setups, for which we discuss possible causes and cures.
Meditation over Medication for Irritable Bowel Syndrome? On Exercise and Alternative Treatments for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Venue: Current Gastroenterology Reports
Year: 2012

Complimentary alternative treatment regimens are widely used in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) but the evidence supporting their use varies. For psychological treatment options, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, gut directed hypnotherapy, and psychodynamic therapy, the evidence supporting their use in IBS patients is strong, but the availability limits their use in clinical practice. Dietary interventions are commonly included in the management of IBS patients, but these are primarily based on studies assessing physiological function in relation to dietary components, and to a lesser degree upon research examining the role of dietary components in the therapeutic management of IBS. Several probiotic products improve a range of symptoms in IBS patients. Physical activity is of benefit for health in general and recent data implicates its usefulness also for IBS patients. Acupuncture does not seem to have an effect beyond placebo in IBS. A beneficial effect of some herbal treatments has been reported.
Automatic Kernel Generation for Volta Tensor Cores
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2020

A commonly occurring computation idiom in neural networks is to perform some pointwise operations on the result of a matrix multiplication. Such a sequence of operations is typically represented as a computation graph in deep learning compilers. When compiling to a GPU target, these computations can be individually mapped to manually tuned implementations provided by libraries such as cuBLAS and cuDNN. These libraries also provide off the shelf support for targeting tensor cores in NVIDIA GPUs, which can lead to huge performance boosts through their specialized support for mixed precision matrix math. Alternatively, tensor cores can be programmed directly using CUDA APIs or inline assembly instructions, which opens up the possibility of generating efficient CUDA kernels automatically for such computations. Automatic kernel generation is particularly crucial when it is beneficial to generate efficient code for an entire computation graph by fusing several operations into a single device function instead of invoking a separate kernel for each of them. Polyhedral compilation techniques provide a systematic approach for the analysis and transformation of a sequence of affine loop nests. In this paper, we describe a polyhedral approach to generate efficient CUDA kernels for matrix multiplication using inline assembly instructions for programming tensor cores on NVIDIA Volta GPUs. Furthermore, we build on this approach to generate fused kernels for computation sequences involving matrix multiplication and pointwise operations such as bias addition, ReLU activation etc. Experimental evaluation of these techniques show that automatically generated kernels can provide significantly better performance than manually tuned library implementations, with speedups ranging up to 2.55X.
Research on Adjustment in Contract Sum Caused by Item Characteristic Discrepancy Code of Bills of Quantities And Valuation for Construction Works 2013
Year: 2016

Item characteristic discrepancy can lead to readjustment of all in unit rate. However, in the field of project management, the analysis of the determination of the new all in unit rate is rare. So this paper aims to find the new ideas of determining the new all in unit rate when item characteristics appear inconsistent. This study will be divided into the following steps. Firstly, three specific forms of item characteristic discrepancy will be determined by the analysis of relevant documents. According to three specific forms, the scope of the contract price adjustment will be defined; Secondly, the affecting factors of the new all in unit rate will be analyzed, and then the new ideas of determining the new all in unit rate will be offered. The new all in unit rate which is caused by item characteristic discrepancy can be taken into account by learning from this study.

Year: 2015

Hyaluronic filler is a sterile, biodegradable, viscoelastic, isotonic, transparent injectable gel implant which was approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 1996. It is used for face reconstruction and modelling.  We report the case of a 40 year old Serbian woman who presented after surgery of cleft lip, primary and secondary palate. We performed a biphasic therapy; in the first stage in the zone semimucosis lips is initially carried incision scar tissue. The second stage is placed hyaluronan implant.  This case illustrates that, although hyaluronic fillers used mainly for correction of healthy tissue can be successfully used in the treatment of postoperative scars.
