The Method of Extracting Land Classification Information by HRI-RefineNET Model

Accurate land use classification results play an important role in scientific research and production practice. The existing neural network structure contains many pooling layers. Although the model incorporated spatial location information when extracting ground object information, many detailed features were also lost. At the same time, due to the great difference between remote sensing image and natural image, the model with good performance of natural image extraction cannot be transplanted directly into the extraction of high-resolution remote sensing image. Based on RefineNET model, this paper proposes an improved HRI-RefineNet (High Resolution Image) model. The model chooses farmland, residential areas, forest, roads and water area as extraction targets, and establishes a new method for extracting land classification information from high resolution remote sensing images. The proposed HRI-RefineNet model adjust the convolution layer number and convolution kernel size respectively according to the texture features of different five kinds of ground objects. An improved pooling layer is designed for the HRI-RefineNet for reducing the loss of location information in feature maps. A decoder group is added to the HRI-RefineNet model. 29 remote sensing images of Tai'an city, China, from 2015 to 2017 were selected for experiment. The experimental results showed that the accuracy of farmland, residential areas, forest, roads and water area obtained by HRI-RefineNET model was 93.9%, 92.3%, 91.7%, 90.1%, 88.7%, respectively, superior to the RefineNET model and some existing advanced models.

Study of denoising of simultaneous electroencephalogram-functional magnetic resonance imaging signal based on real-time constrained independent components analysis

Simultaneous recording of electroencephalogram (EEG)-functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) plays an important role in scientific research and clinical field due to its high spatial and temporal resolution. However, the fusion results are seriously influenced by ballistocardiogram (BCG) artifacts under MRI environment. In this paper, we improve the off-line constrained independent components analysis using real-time technique (rt-cICA), which is applied to the simulated and real resting-state EEG data. The results show that for simulated data analysis, the value of error in signal amplitude (Er) obtained by rt-cICA method was obviously lower than the traditional methods such as average artifact subtraction ( P<0.005). In real EEG data analysis, the improvement of normalized power spectrum (INPS) calculated by rt-cICA method was much higher than other methods ( P<0.005). In conclusion, the novel method proposed by this paper lays the technical foundation for further research on the fusion model of EEG-fMRI.

The grand challenge of regulating health foods in India.

Food is the primary source of nutrients to keep us nourished and healthy. Poor and unhealthy diets implicated with the increase of several non-communicable diseases (NCDs) require a food-based approach to reduce the ongoing rise. Traditional knowledge and science behind food-related health benefits became evident in the last three decades. Active ingredients, bioactive molecules and conventionally used herbs were clinically researched and proven to have beneficial outcomes. In the Indian scenario, the multiplicity of food products, including medicinal type formats, such as health supplements, containing plant, herbs or novel ingredients, brings in a new complexity to regulations. Several of these ingredients are pharmacologically active substances and could overlap with drug regulations. The data generated on the nutritional and health benefit of a supplement should be reproducible, outcomes measurable and disease risk reduction shown by well-designed research studies. Regulatory challenges occur at several levels, namely, harmonization of law, fair trade practice, population exposures to chemicals and contaminants, food borne illness, rise in NCD's, novel ingredients, new technologies and a legacy of regulatory practice. While regulatory and legal challenges will always exist, reliance on the role of scientific research in the regulatory context becomes significant.

LigandScout Remote: A New User-Friendly Interface for HPC and Cloud Resources.

High-performance computing (HPC) clusters play a major role in scientific research. However, working with these clusters is often cumbersome, especially for researchers without a formal background in computer science. It requires preparation and transfer of the input data, manual gathering of results, and command-line expertise. Current approaches for improving accessibility to remote HPC clusters are focused on providing web-based graphical front-ends that allow jobs to be submitted to the distributed resource management system running on the cluster. This comes with significant usability benefits over command-line usage but does not circumvent the need for manual handling of the input and output files. With LigandScout Remote, we propose a different solution. Our software enables the seamless integration of HPC resources into the LigandScout desktop application that scientists use also in their day-to-day work. By handling necessary data conversion and network communication transparently to the user, this approach completely evades any HPC usability barriers. We show that the developed software combines the usability of local graphical desktop applications with the performance of HPC clusters.

The Role of Scientific Research in Film Theory

This article offers a critical discussion of Murray Smith’s proposals regarding the role of science in film theory and the philosophy of art more broadly. I would like to examine the precise role given by Film, Art, and the Third Culture to scientific evidence in understanding film engagement. There are points in the book where scientific evidence is used to considerable theoretical or philosophical advantage. But there are other points where the role of scientific evidence is unclear or where an opportunity is missed for its full deployment in theorizing.

Municipal Social Policy Realization: the Role of Scientific Research (by the Results of the Study in Barnaul, Altai Kray)

The Object of the Study. Municipal social policy.The Subject of the Study. The role of scientific research in realizing municipal social policy.The Purpose of the Study. Identifying the role of scientific research in realizing social policy at the municipal level.The Main Provisions of the Article. The main theoretic methodological and philosophy approaches to the science integration to the social policy realization are analyzed. There is the substantiation of the efficiency of the scientific potential use in the social policy implementation at the local level. Scientific achievements and innovations involvement in solving social problems of the city of Barnaul are considered through the implementation of the grant mechanism of interaction in the municipality. A special contribution of the authors is the analysis of legislation in the field of grant support for research projects, monitoring the efficiency of the competition, as well as the correlation of the results of the grant competition with the directions of social policy at the city level (based on the results of monitoring the implementation of grant forms of support in the city in the period from 2014 to 2017). The main problems have been identified that make it difficult to use the potential of science in the implementation of social policy of the city, namely the lack of strong and extensive network of grant competitions in this area, the "frozen" amount of funding for the competition and weak differentiation in the degree of scientific experience among applicants for the grant. According to the study results the place and role of scientific research in the implementation of the activities of local governments in the city of Barnaul in order to implement social policy have been defined, as well as recommendations to improve this activity for the city management developed.

Influence of the parameters in the preparation of silica nanoparticles from biomass and chemical silica precursors towards bioimaging application

Silica nanoparticles (SNP's) occupy a prominent role in scientific research due to their easy preparation methodology and its wide uses in various applications. In this work, SNP's were prepared from biomass (rice husk) and chemical precursor, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with the particle sizes of 50 nm and 200 nm respectively. The influence of particle size on varying the concentration of ethanol and water in Stober method of synthesis were also analysed. Since, porphyrin has the good electro and photo catalytic property, in this study, porphyrin NP's was functionalized on the surface of the SNP's. The functional groups were confirmed from FTIR spectra. From SEM analysis, it was observed that, the size of the SNP's increased with increase in the concentration of ethanol. The optical dynamic properties of SNP's functionalized with porphyrin NP's were analysed from UV–Vis spectroscopy and Fluorolog. Further, the functionalization of SNP's and their binding affinity were calculated by UV absorption spectra.

Is creativity, hands-on modeling and cognitive learning gender-dependent?

Modeling plays a key role in science research and education is considered to increase comprehensibility of abstract concepts and processes. Especially hands-on experiences in authentic learning environments offer students the opportunity to feel like real researchers and support the development of problem-based thinking skills. In our study, we applied an inquiry-based, out-of-school laboratory module that uses classic experimental challenges as well as innovative model-supported teaching to promote cognitive achievement. Our hands-on module was designed for 9th graders and combined experimentation and creative model work to visualize molecular and otherwise invisible contents of DNA-structure. After mental modeling, participants (N = 114; 40.87% female) produced a physical DNA-model using handcrafting materials. Our major aims were to evaluate the model qualities and to monitor potential relationships between successful model elaboration, individual creativity and knowledge levels. Therefore, we correlated students’ creativity levels with model quality scores as well as with cognitive achievement. While no relations were found for creativity and model elaboration further results were gender-dependent. Girls produced significantly higher model quality scores and significant positive correlations were revealed between short-term and mid-term knowledge levels. Correlations also were observed between girls’ cognitive achievement and the creativity subscale ‘flow’. In contrast, neither creativity nor model quality were decisive for boys cognitive achievement. Their average simpler modeling results did not correlate with the short-term and mid-term knowledge levels, although they achieved similar scores on both. Model elaboration seemingly provides more support for girls and offers a suitable approach for emphasizing creativity in science education. In attempting to attract girls to scientific ideas, creative modeling may further support hands-on experimentation.

The role of finance in Saudi universities - King Saud University as a model: دور التمويل على الأبحاث العلمية في الجامعات السعودية

This study aimed to determine the relation between two variables: the role of the university and the role of funding on the quality of a scientific research at King Saud University. The researcher utilized qualitative methods for this study, by tracking, analyzing, and evaluating the role of each of the factors’ effects on the quality of production of scientific research. The study found that the university plays a major role in the scientific research in the various fields of human knowledge and increasing the learning and researches quality depend mainly on the success of learning plans and enough funding, according to that we can say that the researches in Arab countries were badly affected cause of depending only on governmental funding. The study proved that merging between study researches and their lab requirements also badly affected these scientific researches. The study concluded with a set of recommendations and suggestions, including activating university role in scientific research through providing the material and moral support for research centers within universities, linking between research centers and graduate studies through plans and strategies developed to support scientific research programs, and focus on comprehensive projects of scientific research which meet the needs of the community by finding work full-time researchers and searching for strategies to ensure scientific researchers capabilities and available resources.

Metabolic network reconstruction and phenome analysis of the industrial microbe, Escherichia coli BL21(DE3).

Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) is an industrial model microbe for the mass-production of bioproducts such as biofuels, biorefineries, and recombinant proteins. However, despite its important role in scientific research and biotechnological applications, a high-quality metabolic network model for metabolic engineering is yet to be developed. Here, we present the comprehensive metabolic network model of E. coli BL21(DE3), named iHK1487, based on the latest genome reannotation and phenome analysis. The metabolic model consists of 1,164 unique metabolites, 2,701 metabolic reactions, and 1,487 genes. The model was validated and improved by comparing the simulation results with phenome data from phenotype microarray tests. Previous transcriptome profile data was incorporated during model reconstruction, and flux prediction was simulated using the model. iHK1487 was simulated to explore the metabolic features of BL21(DE3) such as broad spectrum amino acid utilization and enhanced flux through the upper glycolytic pathway and TCA cycle. iHK1487 will contribute to systematic understanding of cellular physiology and metabolism of E. coli BL21(DE3) and highlight its biotechnological applications.

ASTRONOMERS AS SKETCHERS AND PAINTERS: THE EYE – THE HAND – THE UNDERSTANDING1

Today we are accustomed to seeing the objects of the universe in magnificent digital pictures vividly before our eyes. But before the invention of photography, the art of painting and drawing played an important role in scientific research. Those who were powerful astronomers of this art had the advantage. This article substantiates this thesis by means of selected examples. The drawings and the related discoveries of Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), Johannes Hevelius (1611–1687), Tobias Mayer (1723–1762), Johann Heinrich Mädler (1794–1874), Julius Schmidt (1825–1884), Giovanni Schiaparelli (1835–1910), Eugenios Antoniadi (1870–1944), William Parsons alias Lord Rosse (1800–1867), Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel (1821–1889), Etienne Trouvelot (1827–1895) and Walter Löbering (1895–1969) and showed their most important drawn observation documents. It can be seen that thanks to their art and the associated highly developed ability to perceive it, astronomers' drawings have made astounding discoveries that others have been denied. Finally, some thoughts on the role of drawn or painted astronomical motifs in the present are developed.

Study of Ion-Acoustic Solitary Waves in a Magnetized Plasma Using the Three-Dimensional Time-Space Fractional Schamel-KdV Equation

The study of ion-acoustic solitary waves in a magnetized plasma has long been considered to be an important research subject and plays an increasingly important role in scientific research. Previous studies have focused on the integer-order models of ion-acoustic solitary waves. With the development of theory and advancement of scientific research, fractional calculus has begun to be considered as a method for the study of physical systems. The study of fractional calculus has opened a new window for understanding the features of ion-acoustic solitary waves and can be a potentially valuable approach for investigations of magnetized plasma. In this paper, based on the basic system of equations for ion-acoustic solitary waves and using multi-scale analysis and the perturbation method, we have obtained a new model called the three-dimensional(3D) Schamel-KdV equation. Then, the integer-order 3D Schamel-KdV equation is transformed into the time-space fractional Schamel-KdV (TSF-Schamel-KdV) equation by using the semi-inverse method and the fractional variational principle. To study the properties of ion-acoustic solitary waves, we discuss the conservation laws of the new time-space fractional equation by applying Lie symmetry analysis and the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. Furthermore, the multi-soliton solutions of the 3D TSF-Schamel-KdV equation are derived using the Hirota bilinear method. Finally, with the help of the multi-soliton solutions, we explore the characteristics of motion of ion-acoustic solitary waves.
