RESUME ANALYZER

Resume analysis is the process in which a machine analyses a resume based on given requirements of the job description. With the flood of resumes received by companies, it is not effective and also not possible for a person to go through a number of resumes to select a candidate. They have become very popular among the companies in the process of determining candidate selection. The main objective of the project is to be able to match the requirements and skills from a job description to the resume applied. This gives an instantaneous result on whether the resume is accepted or rejected. The end process allows the company itself to be able to select candidates without the requirement of a third party and thus is also cost effective. A big number of resumes could be used in this project to sort the necessary application using various classifiers. Following classifications, the top n candidates will be sorted in accordance with the job description using content-based recommendation and cosine similarity. The project employs k-NN to determine which CVs are most similar to the supplied job description. Through machine learning, the system evaluates a resume for a particular position using NLP.

3-D Surface Morphological Characterization of CAD/CAM Milled Dental Zirconia: An In Vitro Study of the Effect of Post-Fabrication Processes.

Objective: To investigate the effect on zirconia surface of the post-fabrication surface treatments on the morphological characteristics and mechanical properties of CAD/CAM milled dental zirconia specimens as well as to identify the critical parameters in the measurement of oral retention under in vitro circumstances. Method: The zirconia specimens (N = 20, n = 4) were subjected to CAD/CAM milling and divided into five groups. The specifications were: Group G1—sintered; Group G2—sintered followed by a polishing process; Group G3—sintered followed by polishing and sandblasting with alumina particles Al2O3 (110 µm); Group G4—sintered followed by sandblasting; Group G5—sintered followed by sandblasting with polishing as the end process. All the groups were subjected to Fretting wear tests, 3-D surface roughness measurements, and Vickers’s Micro hardness tests. Investigation of the phase transformation using XRD, and surface feature examination using SEM were also carried out. Additionally, one-way ANOVA, Tukey, and Pearson correlations were statistically analysed. Results: The fabrication processes had a significant effect on the performance of zirconia specimens in all the groups (p > 0.05). Specimens that underwent polishing as the last process exhibited lower surface roughness. The monoclinic phase of zirconia was observed in all the specimens before and after wear except for those in the G2 and G5 groups, where polishing was the end process. In G5, the post-wear surface properties revealed lower surface roughness and hardness. Further, the SEM and 3-D topography show grooves as seen by the dale void volume (Vvv) values; shallow valley depth (Svk); micro craters; and wear track. Conclusion: Specimens in G5 that were subjected to multistep post-fabrication process, namely sandblasting followed by polishing, yielded better results when compared to those in the other groups (G1, G2, G3, and G4). G5 with an interlayer of alumina is recommended for clinical applications due to its enhanced surface properties, mechanical properties, and low wear.

The influence of milling time on boron carbide pressureless and laser sintering

This paper concerns the influence of increasing the milling time, which is performed by a high-energetic rotary-vibratory mill and WC-Co balls, on boron carbide sintering. The commercial boron carbide powder was characterised regarding the morphological, grain size and phase composition after 0–16 h of milling. The prepared green bodies were sintered using dilatometry to determine the WC contamination impact on the onset and end process temperature. The increasing tungsten boride phase content was confirmed by XRD analysis. The content of WC contamination on the boron carbide laser sintering process was also qualitatively analysed. The obtained polycrystals were analysed in terms of phase composition, microstructure and tungsten element distribution.

Neuromyelitis Optica and Differential Diagnosis (mimics)

Neuromyelitis Optica is an inflammatory neurodegenerative demyelinating autoimmune channelopathy affecting brain and spinal cord, for which Aquaporin-4(AQP4) water channels are the main target. Discovery of the AQP4 immunoglobulin (IGG) antibody in 2004 was a major step for understanding the disease which helped to distinguish from multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases. Aquaporin -4 (AQP4) is a water channel protein expressed in two major isoforms which includes a short isoform M1 and a isoform M23 , AQP4 is expressed heavily on astrocyte endfeet end process at blood brain barrier, nodes of Ranvier and neuronal synapses processes in spinal cord, optic nerves , brain stem, thalamus ,hypothalamus, dorsal medulla at area postrema, diencephalon, subcortical white matter, gray and white matter in spinal cord, periaqueductal and periventricular region.

Narrative Experiences of Individuals with Lower Limb Amputation: A Qualitative Study.

Aim: The present study aimed to determine the narrative experiences of individuals undergoing lower limb amputation. Method: This study was a qualitative study conducted using the phenomenological pattern. Using purposive sampling, 13 individuals with lower limb amputation were selected and interviewed. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the content analysis method. Results: The mean age of the 13 individuals was 51.17 ± 8.7 years. Five of the individuals were female and eight of them were male. A main theme and four sub-themes were identified. This main theme together with sub-themes were Dead End (Process of Loss, Negative Feelings, Change, Adapting to New Life). The individuals expressed mostly negative feelings and thoughts while also emphasizing the rehabilitation process (positive sides). Conclusions: Individuals with lower limb amputations stated there were positive factors affecting the rehabilitation process while emphasizing negative thoughts and feelings during the amputation process. These results can be used in planning for training, counseling and therapeutic interviews to protect the psychosocial health of individuals with lower limb amputation.

Reverse-Engineering the Design Rules for Cloud-Based Big Data Platforms

Big Data's 5 V complexities are making it increasingly difficult to develop an understanding of the end to end process. Big Data platforms play a crucial role in many critical systems, combining with Internet-of-Things, Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics. It is both relevant and important to understand Big Data systems to identify the best tools that fit the requirements of heterogeneous platforms. The objective of this paper is to "discover" a set of design principles and rules for Cloud-based Big Data platforms for complex, heterogeneous environments. The design scope comprises Big Data's significance, challenges and architectural impacts. Using a methodology Reverse Engineered Design Science Research (REDSR), artifacts from leading vendors are used to elicit the design principles and rules with relevant details of Big Data components. We conclude that the findings are relevant and useful for DevOps architects and practitioners in operating complex, heterogeneous Cloud-based Big Data platforms.

Market Knowledge Impacts on Performances through Front End Process: Empirical Evidence from Manufacturing Plants across Countries

Market Knowledge Impacts on Performances through Front End Process: Empirical Evidence from Manufacturing Plants across Countries

Port competitiveness: Do container terminal operators and liner shipping companies see eye to eye?

Most of the literature on port choice has focused mostly on the views of carriers (and indirectly of cargo owners). We venture here to discover whether the choice criteria used by carriers are in line with what the ports themselves consider as important for their competitiveness. We undertake a 20-year-long literature search in peer-reviewed journals to identify the competitiveness criteria of both carriers and terminal operators. To that end, survey methods and (Fuzzy) Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) are employed. Our findings establish that the factors port operators consider important for the competitiveness of their port are not necessarily of equal importance for shipping companies when selecting a port. This is our main contribution to the academic literature. For port operators, the most important criterion for competitiveness is port location, followed by service level, port tariffs, and port facilities. In contrast, the most important criterion for carriers is (port) operational efficiency. The least important criteria for both groups of actors are the institutional framework of the port and its ownership status, respectively. Opposite to earlier research, our innovation here is in confronting ports and carriers with each other’s priorities. In competitive markets, such knowledge ought to influence decisions and the added value of this research is in the benefits of a ‘better mutual understanding’: when demand (carriers) and supply (ports) understand each other better, the result is a more pareto-efficient economic system, not only for the two players but for the greater society by and large.

Food waste handling perception in Indonesia: communicating the sustainability of Food and environment

Every week, Indonesia discards approximately 10 million pieces of bread, cakes, and cookies, equating to 292,000 tons of CO2 emissions similar to Indonesia’s annual CO2 emissions. Due to a lack of resources and infrastructure, most impoverished countries rely on antiquated technologies such as anaerobic digestion (AD) to handle food waste. Bakery trash is a biologically formed organic waste that poses a serious threat to public health and the environment, including natural ecosystem contamination. The goal of this study is to find out how much effort Indonesians put into garbage management. How do they spread the word about leftovers through the media? How do they know about waste, particularly bread waste? As well as community-wide corrective steps to protect the environment from domestic food waste management. This study employs a quantitative approach. In order to send 100 questionnaires to persons in Indonesia, purposive sampling was used. Surveys are carried out using Google forms, which require a valid Google email address in order to ensure that each person only takes the survey once. The study’s conclusion is that food waste management efforts among Indonesians are hampered by the public’s lack of understanding of food waste management and disposal information in the media. The research sample understands the process of recycling food into pet food when it becomes garbage, according to their perceptions about the end process of food. In terms of food waste awareness, the majority of the participants in this study were aware that food waste is disposed of in landfills rather than being recycled.

초등돌봄서비스의 개선방향에 관한 연구 : 다함께돌봄 정책 현황 분석을 중심으로

The purpose of this study is to analyze the take care of all together policy, one of the elementary care services. To this end, contents and change process of the take care of all together policy were analyzed to find the direction for improvement by using Gilbert and Terrell's analysis framework, the most widely used in social policy. The results of the study are as follows. First, in terms of users, the priority of the take care of all together projects is in principle independent of income level, and was set autonomously by the situation of each local government. Second, in terms of salary, this project has self-payment, providing services such as safe protection of children, providing meals and snacks, providing care services before and after school, and night or in case of emergency, and linking and providing experience activities, culture, arts and sports programs. Third, in terms of the delivery system, direct management of local governments is a principle, but in some cases, it was commissioned through open recruitment. Fourth, in terms of finance, installation, equipment, labor costs, and operating expenses were all equally supported nationwide based on the opening of the center. Thus, there was little difference in financial support depending on the number of people and size. Therefore, through this study, we found that the take care of all together policy requires differentiated support policies of each local government and community-oriented voluntary will and efforts to establish a care system and to resolve blind spots for elementary care.

MICROSERVICE ARCHITECTURE FOR BUILDING HIGH-AVAILABILITY DISTRIBUTED AUTOMATED COMPUTING SYSTEM IN A CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

The article is devoted to the research and development of a highly available distributed automated computing system by iterative algorithms based on the microservice architecture in a cloud infrastructure. The subject of the research is the practical foundations of building high-availability automated computing systems based on microservice architecture in a cloud-based distributed infrastructure. The purpose of the article is to develop and to substantiate practical recommendations for the formation of the infrastructure of a high-availability automated computing system based on the microservice architecture, the choice of its constituent elements and their components. The task of the work: to identify the necessary structural elements of a microservice automated computing system and to analyze the constituent components and functional load for each of them, set specific tasks for building each of them and justify the choice of tools for their creation. In the course of the research, methods of system analysis were used to decompose a complex system into elements and each element into functional components, and tools: information technologies Apache Kafka, Kafkacat, Wolfram Mathematica, nginx, Lumen, Telegram, Dropbox, and MySQL. As a result of the study, it was found that the system infrastructure should consist of: fault-tolerant interservice transport, a high-availability computing microservice, and communication microservices with end customers, which save or process the results. For each of them, recommendations are provided regarding the formation and selection of implementation tools. According to the recommendations, one variant of implementation of such system has been developed, the principles of its operation are shown and the results are presented. It has been proven that when using a Kafka queue it is efficient to publish batches of results rather than one at a time, which results to significant overhead on queue servers and data latency for its clients. Recommendations are given on the implementation of the CI/CD system to build a continuous cycle of adding and improving microservices. Conclusions. Practical foundations have been developed for the implementation of high availability distributed automated computing systems based on microservice architecture in a cloud infrastructure. The flexibility in processing the results of such a system is shown due to the possibility of adding microservices and using third-party analytical applications that support connection to the Kafka queue. The economic benefit of using the described system is shown. Future ways of its improvement are given.

The Potential of Digital Data Collection Tools for Long-lasting Insecticide-Treated Net Mass Campaigns in Nigeria: Formative Study.

BackgroundNigeria has the world’s largest malaria burden, accounting for 27% of the world’s malaria cases and 23% of malaria mortality globally. This formative study describes the operational process of the mass distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) during a campaign program in Nigeria.ObjectiveThis study aims to assess whether and how digital data collection and management tools can change current practices and help resolve major implementation issues.MethodsQualitative data on the technical features and operational processes of paper-based and information and communication technology (ICT)–based systems in the Edo and Kwara states from June 2 to 30, 2017, were collected on the basis of documented operation manuals, field observations, and informant interviews. During the LLIN campaign in Edo State, we recruited 6 local government area focal persons and monitors and documented daily review meetings during household mobilization (9 days) and net distribution (5 days) to understand the major program implementation issues associated with the following three aspects: logistic issues, technical issues, and demand creation. Each issue was categorized according to the expected degree (low, mid, and high) of change by the ICT system.ResultsThe net campaign started with microplanning and training, followed by a month-long implementation process, which included household mobilization, net movement, net distribution, and end process monitoring. The ICT system can improve management and oversight issues related to data reporting and processes through user-centered interface design, built-in data quality control logic flow or algorithms, and workflow automation. These often require more than 50% of staff time and effort in the current paper-based practice. Compared with the current paper-based system, the real-time system is expected to reduce the time to payment compensation for health workers by about 20 days and produce summary campaign statistics for at least 20 to 30 days.ConclusionsThe ICT system can facilitate the measurement of population coverage beyond program coverage during an LLIN campaign with greater data reliability and timeliness, which are often compromised due to the limited workforce capacity in a paper-based system.

From dust to planets – I. Planetesimal and embryo formation

ABSTRACT Planet formation models begin with proto-embryos and planetesimals already fully formed, missing out a crucial step, the formation of planetesimals/proto-embryos. In this work, we include prescriptions for planetesimal and proto-embryo formation arising from pebbles becoming trapped in short-lived pressure bumps, in thermally evolving viscous discs to examine the sizes and distributions of proto-embryos and planetesimals throughout the disc. We find that planetesimal sizes increase with orbital distance, from ∼10 km close to the star to hundreds of kilometres further away. Proto-embryo masses are also found to increase with orbital radius, ranging from $10^{-6}{\, {\rm M}_{\oplus }}$ around the iceline, to $10^{-3}{\, {\rm M}_{\oplus }}$ near the orbit of Pluto. We include prescriptions for pebble and planetesimal accretion to examine the masses that proto-embryos can attain. Close to the star, planetesimal accretion is efficient due to small planetesimals, whilst pebble accretion is efficient where pebble sizes are fragmentation limited, but inefficient when drift dominated due to low accretion rates before the pebble supply diminishes. Exterior to the iceline, planetesimal accretion becomes inefficient due to increasing planetesimal eccentricities, whilst pebble accretion becomes more efficient as the initial proto-embryo masses increase, allowing them to significantly grow before the pebble supply is depleted. Combining both scenarios allows for more massive proto-embryos at larger distances, since the accretion of planetesimals allows pebble accretion to become more efficient, allowing giant planet cores to form at distances upto $10{\, {\rm au}}$. By including more realistic initial proto-embryo and planetesimal sizes, as well as combined accretion scenarios, should allow for a more complete understanding in the beginning to end process of how planets and planetary systems form.

Appinitic and high Ba[sbnd]Sr magmatism in central Brazil: Insights into the late accretion stage of West Gondwana

Large amounts of high BaSr magmatism can be produced as the result of late accretion or decompression in the final stages of continental arc evolution in orogenic systems and leads to continental crustal growth. This type of magmatism often occurs associated with mega-shear zones and displays geochemical signatures that indicate magmas deriving from the melting of enriched lithospheric mantle. Such enrichment may be an indication of slab-derived fluid and/or melt interaction, released from subducted material. The high BaSr granitoids of the Brasiliano Paraguay Belt, Tocantins Province, central Brazil, comprise two suites that crystallized approximately 40 My apart from each other. Both suites are composed of metaluminous to slightly peraluminous rocks (ASI = 0.64–1.09) with magnesian character, and present high Ba (~1430 ppm), Sr (~800 ppm), K2O (~4 wt%), LREE and LILE contents. The negative εNd(T) values (−6.32 and − 6.65) associated with high contents of incompatible elements indicate an evolution from partial melting of mantle-derived magma previously metasomatized by subducted slab fluids. Crystallization ages of 557 ± 5.7 Ma and 554 ± 2.9 Ma have been obtained for the older, high MgK calc-alkaline suite. It evolved from high Cr and Ni mantle-derived appinitic magma to coeval granodiorites by crystal fractionation accompanied by minor crustal contamination. The younger, 515 ± 3.6 Ma-old suite displays an elevated concentration in some HFSEs, show alkali-calcic affinity and is represented by high-K monzogranites. A model proposed for the two hybrid suites is based on a slab break-off and a subsequent lithospheric delamination after 40 My, where the heat flux generated by mantle upwelling led to a partial melting of the enriched subcontinental lithospheric mantle beneath the continental crust. The older calc-alkaline suite represents the end process of magmatic arc accretion in the central Tocantins Province. The younger one is compatible with a transitional shoshonitic to A-type affinity, associated to post-collisional collapse stage of the orogen at Cambrian times. The petrogenesis of the investigated rocks requires an ocean closure phase at ca. 590 Ma, which could be linked to the consumption of the Clymene Ocean toward Amazonian Craton, recording a new collisional event in the central West Gondwana.

TSV-integrated surface electrode ion trap for scalable quantum information processing

In this study, we report about the design, fabrication, and operation of a Cu-filled through-silicon via (TSV)-integrated ion trap. TSVs are placed directly underneath electrodes as vertical interconnections between an ion trap and a glass interposer, facilitating the arbitrary geometry design with increasing electrode numbers and evolving complexity. The integration of TSVs reduces the form factor of the ion trap by more than 80%, minimizing parasitic capacitance from 32 ± 2 to 3 ± 0.2 pF. A low RF dissipation is achieved in spite of the absence of the ground screening layer. The entire fabrication process is on a 12-in. wafer and compatible with the established CMOS back end process. We demonstrate the basic functionality of the trap by loading and laser-cooling single 88Sr+ ions. It is found that both the heating rate (17 quanta/ms for an axial frequency of 300 kHz) and lifetime (∼30 min) are comparable with traps of similar dimensions. This work pioneers the development of TSV-integrated ion traps, enriching the toolbox for scalable quantum computing.

End to end process evaluation for additively manufactured liquid rocket engine thrust chambers

High performance liquid rocket engines require cooling to maintain structural integrity of the combustion chamber which is exposed to high thermal and environmental loads. For many systems, this is achieved by means of regenerative cooling, where a coolant flows through passages around the chamber wall whilst extracting heat from the wall. A novel production technique that is often considered for this is metal additive manufacturing (AM). The use of additive manufacturing opens up new opportunities for engine design, which can result in more competitive designs, from both a technical and economical perspective.This paper provides a detailed literature review on the current state-of-the-art, challenges, and opportunities for designing additively manufactured liquid rocket engines by means of laser powder bed fusion or powder-based and wire-based directed energy deposition (DED) techniques. A detailed, systematic explanation is provided on the steps involving the creation of additively manufactured thrusters including the process considerations, AM techniques and post-processing operations.

Risk analysis of Jernang plant (Daemonorops draco) in Aceh Province

Jernang is a non-timber forest product (NTFP) which has started to be traded and become a high-value commodity. Jernang is a type of rattan that produces a resin known as “dragon's blood” which has many benefits such as dye raw materials in the ceramics, marble, wood, paper and pharmaceutical industries. Aceh province is one potential area for Jernang development. Supply chain is a complex system that has elements that are orderly, interrelated, dynamic, have specific goals and are probabilistic. In the Jernang supply chain there are risks that can cause losses and failures in production. Failure in production does not only occur at the end process but can also occur at the beginning or when the production process is being carried out. Through the Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method, it is expected that each form of failure can be identified in the production process. The results identified indicate that nineteen risk factors at the producer level. Based on the calculation of Risk Priority Number (RPN), the risk of decreasing production results is the most important risk. As such, this risk is the first priority that must be addressed.
