Traditional Chinese medicine Radix Saposhnikoviae (RS) is traditionally employed to treat exogenous evils, rubella, itching, rheumatism and tetanus. Meanwhile, it is an important component of the commonly used anti-allergy compound. It’s now widely used as an immuno-modulating agent in mixed herbal decoctions to treat inflammation. However, its mechanism of anti-allergy remains unknown. RS was found to reduce ear thickness, as well as the infiltration of eosinophils. The proliferation of T lymphocytes was inhibited significantly by RS, markedly decreased IFN-γ levels in the supernatant of cells cultured and serum were detected with the treatment of RS. RS significantly decreased the amount of DCs in the mouse lymph nodes, and inhibited the expression of CD4 0 and CD86. Meanwhile, T-bet mRNA expression was down remarkably regulated by RS. These results indicate that RS cures Th1-induced allergic skin inflammation by regulating Th1/Th2 balance with decreasing Th1 differentiation, which might be associated with DCs. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=allergic%20contact%20dermatitis" title="allergic contact dermatitis">allergic contact dermatitis</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Radix%20saposhnikoviae" title=" Radix saposhnikoviae"> Radix saposhnikoviae</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=dendritic%20cells" title=" dendritic cells"> dendritic cells</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=T-bet" title=" T-bet"> T-bet</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=GATA-3" title=" GATA-3"> GATA-3</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=CD4%2B%20CD25%2B%20Foxp3%2B%20treg%20cells" title=" CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ treg cells "> CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ treg cells </a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/3023/radix-saposhnikoviae-suppresses-allergic-contact-dermatitis-in-mice-by-regulating-dcs-activated-th1-type-cells" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/3023.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">374</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">176</span> An Investigation of a Three-Dimensional Constitutive Model of Gas Diffusion Layers in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Yanqin%20Chen">Yanqin Chen</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Chao%20Jiang"> Chao Jiang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Chongdu%20Cho"> Chongdu Cho</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> This research presents the three-dimensional mechanical characteristics of a commercial gas diffusion layer by experiment and simulation results. Although the mechanical performance of gas diffusion layers has attracted much attention, its reliability and accuracy are still a major challenge. With the help of simulation analysis methods, it is beneficial to the gas diffusion layer’s extensive commercial development and the overall stress analysis of proton electrolyte membrane fuel cells during its pre-production design period. Therefore, in this paper, a three-dimensional constitutive model of a commercial gas diffusion layer, including its material stiffness matrix parameters, is developed and coded, in the user-defined material model of a commercial finite element method software for simulation. Then, the model is validated by comparing experimental results as well as simulation outcomes. As a result, both the experimental data and simulation results show a good agreement with each other, with high accuracy. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=gas%20diffusion%20layer" title="gas diffusion layer">gas diffusion layer</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=proton%20electrolyte%20membrane%20fuel%20cell" title=" proton electrolyte membrane fuel cell"> proton electrolyte membrane fuel cell</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=stiffness%20matrix" title=" stiffness matrix"> stiffness matrix</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=three-dimensional%20mechanical%20characteristics" title=" three-dimensional mechanical characteristics"> three-dimensional mechanical characteristics</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=user-defined%20material%20model" title=" user-defined material model"> user-defined material model</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/103011/an-investigation-of-a-three-dimensional-constitutive-model-of-gas-diffusion-layers-in-polymer-electrolyte-membrane-fuel-cells" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/103011.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">159</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">175</span> Ordinary Differentiation Equations (ODE) Reconstruction of High-Dimensional Genetic Networks through Game Theory with Application to Dissecting Tree Salt Tolerance</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Libo%20Jiang">Libo Jiang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Huan%20Li"> Huan Li</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Rongling%20Wu"> Rongling Wu</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Ordinary differentiation equations (ODE) have proven to be powerful for reconstructing precise and informative gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from dynamic gene expression data. However, joint modeling and analysis of all genes, essential for the systematical characterization of genetic interactions, are challenging due to high dimensionality and a complex pattern of genetic regulation including activation, repression, and antitermination. Here, we address these challenges by unifying variable selection and game theory through ODE. Each gene within a GRN is co-expressed with its partner genes in a way like a game of multiple players, each of which tends to choose an optimal strategy to maximize its “fitness” across the whole network. Based on this unifying theory, we designed and conducted a real experiment to infer salt tolerance-related GRNs for Euphrates poplar, a hero tree that can grow in the saline desert. The pattern and magnitude of interactions between several hub genes within these GRNs were found to determine the capacity of Euphrates poplar to resist to saline stress. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=gene%20regulatory%20network" title="gene regulatory network">gene regulatory network</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=ordinary%20differential%20equation" title=" ordinary differential equation"> ordinary differential equation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=game%20theory" title=" game theory"> game theory</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=LASSO" title=" LASSO"> LASSO</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=saline%20resistance" title=" saline resistance"> saline resistance</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/65286/ordinary-differentiation-equations-ode-reconstruction-of-high-dimensional-genetic-networks-through-game-theory-with-application-to-dissecting-tree-salt-tolerance" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/65286.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">639</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">174</span> Fortification of Concentrated Milk Protein Beverages with Soy Proteins: Impact of Divalent Cations and Heating Treatment on the Physical Stability</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Yichao%20Liang">Yichao Liang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Biye%20Chen"> Biye Chen</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Xiang%20Li"> Xiang Li</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Steven%20R.%20Dimler"> Steven R.

The particle size does not change when emulsions are heated at pH between 6.7 and 7.3 irrespective of the mixed protein ratio. Increasing concentration of divalent cation salts resulted in an increase in protein particle size, dry sediment formation and sediment height and a decrease in pH, heat stability and hydration in milk protein concentrate-soy protein isolate mixtures solutions on sterilization at 115°C. Fortification of divalent cation salts in milk protein concentrate-soy protein isolate mixture solutions resulted in an accelerated protein sedimentation and two unique sediment regions during accelerated storage stability testing. Moreover, the heat stability decreased upon sterilization at 115°C, with addition of MgCl₂ causing a greater increase in sedimentation velocity and compressibility than CaCl₂. Increasing pH value of protein milk concentrate-soy protein isolate mixtures solutions from 6.7 to 7.2 resulted in an increase in viscosity following the heat treatment. The study demonstrated that the type and concentration of divalent cation salts used strongly impact heat and storage stability of milk protein concentrate-soy protein isolate mixture nutritional beverages. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=divalent%20cation%20salts" title="divalent cation salts">divalent cation salts</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=heat%20stability" title=" heat stability"> heat stability</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=milk%20protein%20concentrate" title=" milk protein concentrate"> milk protein concentrate</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=soy%20protein%20isolate" title=" soy protein isolate"> soy protein isolate</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=storage%20stability" title=" storage stability"> storage stability</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/94469/fortification-of-concentrated-milk-protein-beverages-with-soy-proteins-impact-of-divalent-cations-and-heating-treatment-on-the-physical-stability" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/94469.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">331</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">173</span> Redefinition of Village Landscape with Ruins-Taking Cunwei Village in Nanping City, Fujian Province as Example</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Siyu%20Bu">Siyu Bu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jie%20Wang"> Jie Wang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Yajing%20Jiang"> Yajing Jiang</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Nowadays, villages still occupying 94.7% of the national territorial area (almost nine million square kilometers) of China. Some of them are meeting urbanization and grow as satellite; however, others are witnessing more and more citizens swarming into with nostalgia, seek enjoyment from the beautiful green countryside. In villages, new types of house come and we see billions of old houses lay unused, or even be dying at every second, which cause a lot of 'bad palaces', decadent and dangerous. In this context, there are lots of tries for gearing villages in China. This article deconstructs the traditional village house to excavate its’ landscape potential for future. By research in CunWei Village, Nanping City, Fujian Province, China, a method of reconstruction of old houses comes out: the wreckage will be a strong landscape, showing the great beauty of nature. It will be a better use of the old material as well as the space pattern. It was supposed to gain a juxtaposition of traditional village life and modern social life by offering possibilities of multiple event, replacing the bad space to attractive one by strengthen the old structures without destroy traditional patterns. Furthermore , this method acts as an exploring for building redefinition of village landscape that fit Chinese villages, using local nature resource and traditional construction logic. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=juxtaposition" title="juxtaposition">juxtaposition</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=replace" title=" replace"> replace</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=village" title=" village"> village</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=ruins" title=" ruins"> ruins</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/73608/redefinition-of-village-landscape-with-ruins-taking-cunwei-village-in-nanping-city-fujian-province-as-example" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/73608.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">251</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">172</span> Proxisch: An Optimization Approach of Large-Scale Unstable Proxy Servers Scheduling</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Xiaoming%20Jiang">Xiaoming Jiang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jinqiao%20Shi"> Jinqiao Shi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Qingfeng%20Tan"> Qingfeng Tan</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Wentao%20Zhang"> Wentao Zhang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Xuebin%20Wang"> Xuebin Wang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Muqian%20Chen"> Muqian Chen</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Nowadays, big companies such as Google, Microsoft, which have adequate proxy servers, have perfectly implemented their web crawlers for a certain website in parallel. But due to lack of expensive proxy servers, it is still a puzzle for researchers to crawl large amounts of information from a single website in parallel. In this case, it is a good choice for researchers to use free public proxy servers which are crawled from the Internet. In order to improve efficiency of web crawler, the following two issues should be considered primarily: (1) Tasks may fail owing to the instability of free proxy servers; (2) A proxy server will be blocked if it visits a single website frequently. In this paper, we propose Proxisch, an optimization approach of large-scale unstable proxy servers scheduling, which allow anyone with extremely low cost to run a web crawler efficiently. Proxisch is designed to work efficiently by making maximum use of reliable proxy servers. To solve second problem, it establishes a frequency control mechanism which can ensure the visiting frequency of any chosen proxy server below the website’s limit. The results show that our approach performs better than the other scheduling algorithms. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=proxy%20server" title="proxy server">proxy server</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=priority%20queue" title=" priority queue"> priority queue</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=optimization%20algorithm" title=" optimization algorithm"> optimization algorithm</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=distributed%20web%20crawling" title=" distributed web crawling"> distributed web crawling</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/43957/proxisch-an-optimization-approach-of-large-scale-unstable-proxy-servers-scheduling" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/43957.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">211</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">171</span> Investigation of the Low-Level Jet Role in Transportation of Shamal Dust Storms in Southwest Iran</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Nasim%20Hossein%20Hamzeh">Nasim Hossein Hamzeh</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Abbas%20Ranjbar%20Saadat%20Abadi"> Abbas Ranjbar Saadat Abadi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Maggie%20Chel%20Gee%20Ooi"> Maggie Chel Gee Ooi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Steven%20Soon-Kai%20Kong"> Steven Soon-Kai Kong</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Christian%20Opp"> Christian Opp</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Dust storm is one of the most important natural disasters in the world, where the Middle East suffers frequently due to the existence of the dust belt region. As a country in the Middle East, Iran mostly is affected by the dust storms from some internal and also external dust sources, mostly originating from deserts in Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. In this study, some severe Shamal dust storms were investigated in Southwest Iran. The measured 〖PM〗_10 reached up to 834 μg m-3 in some stations in west Iran and Iran-Iraq borders, while the measured 〖PM〗_10 reached up to 4947 μg m-3 SW stations in northern shores of the Persian Gulf. During these severe dust storms, a low-level jet was observed at 930hPa atmospheric level in north Iraq and south Iraq. the jet core and its width were about 16 ms-1 and 100 km, respectively, in the cases where it is located in the NW regions of Iraq and northeastern Syria (at 35°N and 40-41°E), So the jet was stronger at higher latitudes (34°N - 35°N) than at lower latitudes (32°N). Therefore, suitable conditions have been created for lifting of dust sources located in northwestern Iraq and northeastern Syria. The topography surrounding the Mesopotamia and north of the Persian Gulf play a major role in the development of the Low-Level Jet through the interaction of meteorological conditions and mountain forcing.

The program included outdoor, gym, and water training approaches focused on strengthening while stretching/decompressing and on full body activation-all in order to improve performance as well as treat and prevent common disorders and pains. The study observed and surveyed over 100 users of the program including recreational fitness and sports enthusiasts as well as elite athletes who competed for national teams of different countries and for Division I teams of National Collegiate Athletic Association in the United States. Different types of sport were studied, including territorial games (e.g., American football, basketball, volleyball), endurance/cyclical (athletics/track and field, swimming), and artistic (e.g., gymnastics and synchronized swimming). Results of the study showed positive effects on the participants’ performance and health, particularly for those who used the program for more than two years and especially in reducing spinal disorders and in enabling to perform new training tasks which previously caused back pain. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=lifelong%20fitness" title="lifelong fitness">lifelong fitness</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=injury%20prevention" title=" injury prevention"> injury prevention</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=prolonging%20sport%20participation" title=" prolonging sport participation"> prolonging sport participation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=improving%20performance%20and%20health" title=" improving performance and health"> improving performance and health</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/101801/evaluating-a-holistic-fitness-program-used-by-high-performance-athletes-and-mass-participants" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/101801.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">155</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">169</span> Nanda Ways of Knowing, Being and Doing: Our Process of Research Engagement and Research Impacts</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Steven%20Kelly">Steven Kelly</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> A fundament role of the researcher is research engagement, that is, the interaction between researchers and research end-users outside of academia for the mutually beneficial transfer of knowledge, technologies, methods, or resources. While research impact is the contribution that research makes to the economy, society, environment, or culture beyond the contribution to academic research. Ironically, traditional impact metrics in the academy are designed to focus on the outputs; it dismisses the important role engagement plays in fostering a collaborative process that leads to meaningful, ethical, and useful impacts. Dr. Kelly, aNanda (First Nations) man himself, has worked closely with the Nanda community over the past decade, ensuring cultural protocols are upheld and implemented while doing research engagement. The focus was on the process, which was essential to foster a positive research impact culture. The contributions that flowed from this process were the naming of a new species of squat lobster in the Nanda language, a poster design in collaboration with The University of Melbourne, Museums Victoria and Bundiyarra - IrraWanga language centre, media coverage, and the formation of the “Nanda language, Nanda country project”. The Nanda language, Nanda country project is a language revitalization project that focused on reconnecting Nanda people with the language & culture on Nanda Country. Such outcomes are imperative on the eve of the United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Languages. In this paperDr, Kellywill discuss howNanda cultural practicesinformed research engagement to foster a collaborative processthat, in turn, ledto meaningful, ethical, and useful impacts within and outside of the academy. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=community%20collaboration" title="community collaboration">community collaboration</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=indigenous" title=" indigenous"> indigenous</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=nanda" title=" nanda"> nanda</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=research%20engagement" title=" research engagement"> research engagement</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=research%20impacts" title=" research impacts"> research impacts</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/151286/nanda-ways-of-knowing-being-and-doing-our-process-of-research-engagement-and-research-impacts" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/151286.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">114</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">168</span> Mudlogging, a Key Tool in Effective Well Delivery: A Case Study of Bisas Field Niger Delta, Nigeria</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Segun%20Steven%20Bodunde">Segun Steven Bodunde</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Mudlogging is the continuous analysis of rock cuttings and drilling fluids to ascertain the presence or absence of oil and gas from the formation penetrated by the drilling bit. This research highlighted a case study of Well BSS-99ST from ‘Bisas Field’, Niger Delta, with depth extending from 1950m to 3640m (Measured Depth). It was focused on identifying the lithologies encountered at specified depth intervals and to accurately delineate the targeted potential reservoir on the field and prepare the lithology and Master log. Equipment such as the Microscope, Fluoroscope, spin drier, oven, and chemicals, which includes: hydrochloric acid, chloroethene, and phenolphthalein, were used to check the cuttings for their calcareous nature, for oil show and for the presence of Cement respectively. Gas analysis was done using the gas chromatograph and the Flame Ionization Detector, which was connected to the Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer (THA). Drilling Parameters and Gas concentration logs were used alongside the lithology log to predict and accurately delineate the targeted reservoir on the field. The result showed continuous intercalation of sand and shale, with the presence of small quantities of siltstone at a depth of 2300m. The lithology log was generated using Log Plot software. The targeted reservoir was identified between 3478m to 3510m after inspection of the gas analysis, lithology log, electric logs, and the drilling parameters. Total gas of about 345 units and five Alkane Gas components were identified in the specific depth range. A comparative check with the Gamma ray log from the well further confirmed the lithologic sequence and the accurate delineation of the targeted potential reservoir using mudlogging. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=mudlogging" title="mudlogging">mudlogging</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=chromatograph" title=" chromatograph"> chromatograph</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=drilling%20fluids" title=" drilling fluids"> drilling fluids</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=calcareous" title=" calcareous"> calcareous</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/112636/mudlogging-a-key-tool-in-effective-well-delivery-a-case-study-of-bisas-field-niger-delta-nigeria" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/112636.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">150</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">167</span> Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Preventing the Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Yunzi%20Chen">Yunzi Chen</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=James%20Laybourne"> James Laybourne</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Sarah%20Steven"> Sarah Steven</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Peter%20Carey"> Peter Carey</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=David%20Steel"> David Steel</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Maria%20Sandinha"> Maria Sandinha</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Introduction: Bariatric surgery is popular with the rising incidence of obesity. Its well-known benefits include significant and rapid glycaemic control. However, cases of paradoxical worsening in diabetic retinopathy (DR) despite improved glycaemic control have been reported. Purpose: clarification on the evolution of diabetic retinopathy after bariatric surgery. Method: retrospective study of 40 patients with Type 2 diabetes who underwent bariatric surgery in a UK specialist bariatric unit between 2009 and 2011. Pre-operative and post-operative visual acuity (VA), weight, HbA1c and annual DRSS screening results were analysed. Median follow up was 50 months. Results: No significant change in VA was found during the post-operative period. 85% of patients improved HbA1c post-operatively of which 53% achieved non-diabetic HbA1c of <6.1% - despite this, 2 patients developed new DR. First post-operative screening showed 80% of patients experienced no change, 8% improved but 13% of patients developed new DR (1 case with sight-threatening maculopathy). 80% of these cases persisted up to 24 months. The proportion of patients developing new or worse DR fluctuated over time, peaking at the 3rd annual screening with 26% (15% regressed, 56% stable). The probability of developing new or worse DR postoperatively was significantly associated with a high pre-operative HbA1c (>8%) and male gender. Conclusions: bariatric surgery does not guarantee long-term improvement or prevention of DR. Asymptomatic changes in DR occurred up to 5 years postoperatively. We therefore consider it prudent to continue screening in this cohort of patients. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=bariatric%20surgery" title="bariatric surgery">bariatric surgery</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=diabetic%20retinopathy" title=" diabetic retinopathy"> diabetic retinopathy</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=obesity" title=" obesity"> obesity</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=type%202%20diabetes%20mellitus" title=" type 2 diabetes mellitus"> type 2 diabetes mellitus</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/42301/effects-of-bariatric-surgery-on-preventing-the-progression-of-diabetic-retinopathy" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/42301.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">274</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">166</span> Everyday Solitude, Affective Experiences, and Well-Being in Old Age: The Role of Culture versus Immigration</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Da%20Jiang">Da Jiang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Helene%20H.%20Fung"> Helene H.

Yet, recent findings suggest that the objective state of being alone (i.e., solitude) can have both positive and negative connotations. The present research aimed to examine (1) affective experience in daily solitude; and (2) the association between everyday affect in solitude and well-being. We examined the distinct roles of culture and immigration in moderating these associations. Using up to 35 daily life assessments of momentary affect, solitude, and emotional well-being in two samples (Vancouver, Canada, and China), the study compared older adults who aged in place (local Caucasians in Vancouver Canada and local Hong Kong Chinese in Hong Kong, China) and older adults of different cultural heritages who immigrated to Canada (immigrated Caucasians and immigrated East Asians). We found that older adults of East Asian heritage experienced more positive and less negative affect when alone than did Caucasians. Reporting positive affect in solitude was more positively associated with well-being in older adults who had immigrated to Canada as compared to those who had aged in place. These findings speak to the unique effects of culture and immigration on the affective correlates of solitude and their associations with well-being in old age. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=solitude" title="solitude">solitude</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=emotion" title=" emotion"> emotion</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=age" title=" age"> age</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=immigration" title=" immigration"> immigration</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=culture" title=" culture"> culture</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/96284/everyday-solitude-affective-experiences-and-well-being-in-old-age-the-role-of-culture-versus-immigration" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/96284.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">183</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">165</span> Advanced Approach to Analysis the Thin Strip Profile in Cold Rolling of Pair Roll Crossing and Shifting Mill Using an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian Technique</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Abdulrahman%20Aljabri">Abdulrahman Aljabri</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Essam%20R.%20I.%20Mahmoud"> Essam R.

Alexander emphasizes the wholeness of the city through progressive design, conceptual-based participation, shaping of centrality, and other principles. Based on Christopher Alexander’s comprehensive book “a new theory of urban design” and by combining with other major works, this paper puts Alexander into the history of the post-modern shift of architecture and urban planning in the middle and late 20th century and analyzes the uniqueness of Alexander’s systematization of spatial context. Despite the overemphasis on the initiative of design, Alexander's attempt to discover the “objectivity” of good space -the ability to generate people's urban identity-through an expanded concept of space, and a systematic approach to design restructures the visceral connection between urban space and human. The concept of urban identity is then decomposed into the identity of the physical setting, identity of process, and identity of meaning. Professionals need to learn from the reality and history of urban space to construct spatial“vocabulary libraries” and create the wholeness of the city, and in which process strengthen the subjectivity of the discipline simultaneously, to generate living structures in which urban identity could be ultimately cultivated. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=christopher%20alexander" title="christopher alexander">christopher alexander</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=a%20new%20theory%20of%20urban%20design" title=" a new theory of urban design"> a new theory of urban design</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Urban%20identity" title=" Urban identity"> Urban identity</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=pattern%20language" title=" pattern language"> pattern language</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=urban%20design" title=" urban design"> urban design</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/152655/spatial-practice-towards-urban-identity-the-shift-limitation-and-contemporary-value-of-christopher" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/152655.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">151</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">163</span> Subsurface Water in Mars' Shallow Diluvium Deposits: Evidence from Tianwen-1 Radar Observations</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Changzhi%20Jiang">Changzhi Jiang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Chunyu%20Ding"> Chunyu Ding</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Yan%20Su"> Yan Su</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jiawei%20Li"> Jiawei Li</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Ravi%20Sharma"> Ravi Sharma</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Yuanzhou%20Liu"> Yuanzhou Liu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jiangwan%20Xu"> Jiangwan Xu</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Early Mars is believed to have had extensive liquid water activity, which has now predominantly transitioned to a frozen state, with the majority of water stored in polar ice caps. It has long been deemed that the shallow subsurface of Mars' mid-to-low latitudes is devoid of liquid water. However, geological features observed at the Tianwen-1 landing site hint potential subsurface water. Our research indicates that the shallow subsurface at the Tianwen-1 landing site consists primarily of diluvium deposits containing liquid brine and brine ice, which exhibits diurnal thermal convection processes. Here we report the relationship between the loss tangent and temperature of materials within 5 meters depth of the subsurface at the Tianwen-1 landing site, as in-situ detected by high-frequency radar and climate station onboard the Zhurong rover. When the strata temperature exceeds ~ 240 K, the mixed brine ice transitions to liquid brine, significantly increasing the loss tangent from an average of ~ 0.0167 to a maximum of ~ 0.0448. This finding indicates the presence of substantial subsurface water in Mars' mid-to-low latitudes, influencing the shallow subsurface heat distribution and contributing to the current Martian hydrological cycle. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=water%20on%20mars" title="water on mars">water on mars</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=mars%20exploration" title=" mars exploration"> mars exploration</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=in-situ%20radar%20detection" title=" in-situ radar detection"> in-situ radar detection</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=tianwen-1%20mission" title=" tianwen-1 mission"> tianwen-1 mission</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/188927/subsurface-water-in-mars-shallow-diluvium-deposits-evidence-from-tianwen-1-radar-observations" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/188927.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">37</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">162</span> Effect of Pressure and Dissolved Oxygen on Stress Corrosion Cracking Susceptibility of Inconel 617 in Steam and Supercritical Water</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Hasan%20Izhar%20Khan">Hasan Izhar Khan</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Naiqiang%20Zhang"> Naiqiang Zhang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Hong%20Xu"> Hong Xu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Zhongliang%20Zhu"> Zhongliang Zhu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Dongfang%20Jiang"> Dongfang Jiang</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Inconel 617, a nickel-based alloy designed for high-temperature applications, got an excellent amalgamation of strength and oxidation resistance at high temperatures. For a better understanding of its suitability to be used in superheater and reheater tubes in ultra-supercritical power plants, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibility must be evaluated. In the present study, the effect of medium environment on SCC behavior of Inconel 617, in the form of a round bar tensile specimen, was tested via slow strain rate tensile tests in steam and supercritical water (SCW) at 650 °C. The results showed that SCC susceptibility has a linear relationship with exposed pressure and increases monotonically with an increase in pressure. A severe SCC susceptibility was observed in SCW followed by that in a steam environment. Fracture and gage surface showed apparent characteristics of brittle fracture.

P Moore</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> A novel method referred to asKýklos(Ky) dimensional geometry is proposed as an entity specific core geometric dimensional measurement system. Ky geometric measures can constructscaled multi-dimensionalmodels using regular and irregular sets in IRn. This entity specific-derived geometric measurement system shares similar fractal methods in which a ‘fractal transformation operator’ is applied to a set S to produce a union of N copies. The Kýklos’ inputs use 1D geometry as a core measure. One-dimensional inputs include the radius interval of a circle/sphere or the semiminor/semimajor axes intervals of an ellipse or spheroid. These geometric inputs have finite values that can be measured by SI distance units. The outputs for each interval are divided and subdivided 1D subcomponents with a union equal to the interval geometry/length. Setting a limit of subdivision iterations creates a finite value for each 1Dsubcomponent. The uniqueness of this method is captured by allowing the simplest 1D inputs to define entity specific subclass geometric core measurements that can also be used to derive length measures. Current methodologies for celestial based measurement of time, as defined within SI units, fits within this methodology, thus combining spatial and temporal features into geometric core measures. The novel Ky method discussed here offers geometric measures to construct scaled multi-dimensional structures, even models. Ky classes proposed for consideration include celestial even subatomic. The application of this offers incredible possibilities, for example, geometric architecture that can represent scaled celestial models that incorporates planets (spheroids) and celestial motion (elliptical orbits). <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Kyklos" title="Kyklos">Kyklos</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=geometry" title=" geometry"> geometry</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=measurement" title=" measurement"> measurement</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=celestial" title=" celestial"> celestial</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=dimension" title=" dimension"> dimension</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/141798/kyklos-dimensional-geometry-entity-specific-core-measurement-system" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/141798.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">166</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">160</span> Power Grid Line Ampacity Forecasting Based on a Long-Short-Term Memory Neural Network </h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Xiang-Yao%20Zheng">Xiang-Yao Zheng</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jen-Cheng%20Wang"> Jen-Cheng Wang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Joe-Air%20Jiang"> Joe-Air Jiang</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Improving the line ampacity while using existing power grids is an important issue that electricity dispatchers are now facing. Using the information provided by the dynamic thermal rating (DTR) of transmission lines, an overhead power grid can operate safely. However, dispatchers usually lack real-time DTR information. Thus, this study proposes a long-short-term memory (LSTM)-based method, which is one of the neural network models. The LSTM-based method predicts the DTR of lines using the weather data provided by Central Weather Bureau (CWB) of Taiwan. The possible thermal bottlenecks at different locations along the line and the margin of line ampacity can be real-time determined by the proposed LSTM-based prediction method. A case study that targets the 345 kV power grid of TaiPower in Taiwan is utilized to examine the performance of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method is useful to provide the information for the smart grid application in the future. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=electricity%20dispatch" title="electricity dispatch">electricity dispatch</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=line%20ampacity%20prediction" title=" line ampacity prediction"> line ampacity prediction</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=dynamic%20thermal%20rating" title=" dynamic thermal rating"> dynamic thermal rating</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=long-short-term%20memory%20neural%20network" title=" long-short-term memory neural network"> long-short-term memory neural network</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=smart%20grid" title=" smart grid"> smart grid</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/63755/power-grid-line-ampacity-forecasting-based-on-a-long-short-term-memory-neural-network" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/63755.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">283</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">159</span> In vitro Skin Model for Enhanced Testing of Antimicrobial Textiles</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Steven%20Arcidiacono">Steven Arcidiacono</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Robert%20Stote"> Robert Stote</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Erin%20Anderson"> Erin Anderson</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Molly%20Richards"> Molly Richards</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> There are numerous standard test methods for antimicrobial textiles that measure activity against specific microorganisms. However, many times these results do not translate to the performance of treated textiles when worn by individuals. Standard test methods apply a single target organism grown under optimal conditions to a textile, then recover the organism to quantitate and determine activity; this does not reflect the actual performance environment that consists of polymicrobial communities in less than optimal conditions or interaction of the textile with the skin substrate. Here we propose the development of in vitro skin model method to bridge the gap between lab testing and wear studies. The model will consist of a defined polymicrobial community of 5-7 commensal microbes simulating the skin microbiome, seeded onto a solid tissue platform to represent the skin. The protocol would entail adding a non-commensal test organism of interest to the defined community and applying a textile sample to the solid substrate. Following incubation, the textile would be removed and the organisms recovered, which would then be quantitated to determine antimicrobial activity. Important parameters to consider include identification and assembly of the defined polymicrobial community, growth conditions to allow the establishment of a stable community, and choice of skin surrogate. This model could answer the following questions: 1) is the treated textile effective against the target organism? 2) How is the defined community affected? And 3) does the textile cause unwanted effects toward the skin simulant? The proposed model would determine activity under conditions comparable to the intended application and provide expanded knowledge relative to current test methods. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=antimicrobial%20textiles" title="antimicrobial textiles">antimicrobial textiles</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=defined%20polymicrobial%20community" title=" defined polymicrobial community"> defined polymicrobial community</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=in%20vitro%20skin%20model" title=" in vitro skin model"> in vitro skin model</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=skin%20microbiome" title=" skin microbiome"> skin microbiome</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/133179/in-vitro-skin-model-for-enhanced-testing-of-antimicrobial-textiles" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/133179.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">137</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">158</span> Parametric Study of 3D Micro-Fin Tubes on Heat Transfer and Friction Factor</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Shima%20Soleimani">Shima Soleimani</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Steven%20Eckels"> Steven Eckels</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> One area of special importance for surface-level study of heat exchangers is tubes with internal micro-fins (< 0.5 mm tall).

Early education, screening, treatment, and partner notification are important interventions for breaking the chain of transmission and recurrence in relation to preventing poor health outcomes and mitigating college dropout rates. The aim of this quality improvement project was to determine if the reduction in STI screening costs for college students (aged 18-30 years old) would increase the amount of STI screenings conducted at a university health center over the course of an academic semester while evaluating our ability to achieve an improved quality of care at a reduced cost, along with improved STI reporting and documentation. This study was conducted through retrospective chart reviews of STI-related visits and utilized the RADAR matrix to provide a guiding, iterative mechanism to continuously reassess goals and outcomes defined in a memorandum of agreement (MOA) between a university health center and the state department of health (DOH) laboratory. The project failed to increase the amount of STI screenings, most likely due to the emergence of COVID-19, but resulted in improved quality of care for students, improved STI-related visit documentation and reporting, and significantly reduced costs for STI screening for collegiate students at a southeastern private university campus. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=college%20health" title="college health">college health</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=college%20students" title=" college students"> college students</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=preventive%20health" title=" preventive health"> preventive health</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=reproductive%20health" title=" reproductive health"> reproductive health</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=sexually%20transmitted%20infections" title=" sexually transmitted infections"> sexually transmitted infections</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=young%20adults" title=" young adults"> young adults</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/136097/implementing-the-quality-of-care-partnership-to-reduce-the-cost-of-screenings-for-sexually-transmitted-infections-on-a-southeastern-college-campus" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/136097.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">135</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">156</span> Design of an Air and Land Multi-Element Expression Pattern of Navigation Electronic Map for Ground Vehicles under United Navigation Mechanism</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Rui%20Liu">Rui Liu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Pengyu%20Cui"> Pengyu Cui</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Nan%20Jiang"> Nan Jiang</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> At present, there is much research on the application of centralized management and cross-integration application of basic geographic information. However, the idea of information integration and sharing between land, sea, and air navigation targets is not deeply applied into the research of navigation information service, especially in the information expression. Targeting at this problem, the paper carries out works about the expression pattern of navigation electronic map for ground vehicles under air and land united navigation mechanism. At first, with the support from multi-source information fusion of GIS vector data, RS data, GPS data, etc., an air and land united information expression pattern is designed aiming at specific navigation task of emergency rescue in the earthquake. And then, the characteristics and specifications of the united expression of air and land navigation information under the constraints of map load are summarized and transferred into expression rules in the rule bank. At last, the related navigation experiment is implemented to evaluate the effect of the expression pattern. The experiment selects evaluation factors of the navigation task accomplishment time and the navigation error rate as the main index, and make comparisons with the traditional single information expression pattern. To sum up, the research improved the theory of navigation electronic map and laid a certain foundation for the design and realization of united navigation system in the aspect of real-time navigation information delivery. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=navigation%20electronic%20map" title="navigation electronic map">navigation electronic map</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=united%20navigation" title=" united navigation"> united navigation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=multi-element%20expression%20pattern" title=" multi-element expression pattern"> multi-element expression pattern</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=multi-source%20information%20fusion" title=" multi-source information fusion"> multi-source information fusion</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/79171/design-of-an-air-and-land-multi-element-expression-pattern-of-navigation-electronic-map-for-ground-vehicles-under-united-navigation-mechanism" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/79171.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">199</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">155</span> Parametric Study of 3D Micro-Fin Tubes on Heat Transfer and Friction Factor</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Shima%20Soleimani">Shima Soleimani</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Steven%20Eckels"> Steven Eckels</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> One area of special importance for the surface-level study of heat exchangers is tubes with internal micro-fins (< 0.5 mm tall).

On the basis of one dimensional consolidation model, a time-dependent skin friction model for the column-soil interaction is proposed. The nonlinear relationship between column shaft shear stresses and effective vertical pressure of the surrounding soil can be described in this model. The influence of column-soil surface roughness can be represented using a roughness coefficient R, which plays an important role in the design of column length. Based on the homogenization method, a part of floating type improved ground will be treated as an unimproved portion, which with a length of αH1 is defined as a time-dependent equivalent skin friction length. The compression settlement of this unimproved portion can be predicted only using the soft clay parameters. Apart from calculating the settlement of this composited ground, the load transfer mechanism is discussed utilizing model tests. The proposed model is validated by comparing with calculations and laboratory results of model and ring shear tests, which indicate the suitability and accuracy of the solutions in this paper. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=floating%20type%20improved%20foundation" title="floating type improved foundation">floating type improved foundation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=time-dependent%20skin%20friction" title=" time-dependent skin friction"> time-dependent skin friction</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=roughness" title=" roughness"> roughness</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=consolidation" title=" consolidation"> consolidation</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/29987/estimation-of-consolidating-settlement-based-on-a-time-dependent-skin-friction-model-considering-column-surface-roughness" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/29987.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">468</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">153</span> BodeACD: Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities Detecting Based on Abstract Syntax Tree, Control Flow Graph, and Data Dependency Graph</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Xinghang%20Lv">Xinghang Lv</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Tao%20Peng"> Tao Peng</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jia%20Chen"> Jia Chen</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Junping%20Liu"> Junping Liu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Xinrong%20Hu"> Xinrong Hu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Ruhan%20He"> Ruhan He</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Minghua%20Jiang"> Minghua Jiang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Wenli%20Cao"> Wenli Cao</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> As one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities, effective detection of buffer overflow vulnerabilities is extremely necessary. Traditional detection methods are not accurate enough and consume more resources to meet complex and enormous code environment at present. In order to resolve the above problems, we propose the method for Buffer overflow detection based on Abstract syntax tree, Control flow graph, and Data dependency graph (BodeACD) in C/C++ programs with source code. Firstly, BodeACD constructs the function samples of buffer overflow that are available on Github, then represents them as code representation sequences, which fuse control flow, data dependency, and syntax structure of source code to reduce information loss during code representation. Finally, BodeACD learns vulnerability patterns for vulnerability detection through deep learning. The results of the experiments show that BodeACD has increased the precision and recall by 6.3% and 8.5% respectively compared with the latest methods, which can effectively improve vulnerability detection and reduce False-positive rate and False-negative rate. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=vulnerability%20detection" title="vulnerability detection">vulnerability detection</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=abstract%20syntax%20tree" title=" abstract syntax tree"> abstract syntax tree</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=control%20flow%20graph" title=" control flow graph"> control flow graph</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=data%20dependency%20graph" title=" data dependency graph"> data dependency graph</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=code%20representation" title=" code representation"> code representation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=deep%20learning" title=" deep learning"> deep learning</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/148239/bodeacd-buffer-overflow-vulnerabilities-detecting-based-on-abstract-syntax-tree-control-flow-graph-and-data-dependency-graph" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/148239.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">170</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">152</span> Experimental Investigation for the Overtopping Wave Force of the Vertical Breakwater</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jin%20Song%20Gui">Jin Song Gui</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Han%20Li"> Han Li</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Rui%20Jin%20Zhang"> Rui Jin Zhang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Heng%20Jiang%20Cai"> Heng Jiang Cai</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> There is a large deviation between the measured wave power at the vertical breast wall and the calculated one according to current specification in the case of overtopping. In order to investigate the reasons for the deviation, the wave forces of vertical breast wall under overtopping conditions have been measured through physical model experiment and compared with the calculated results. The effect of water depth, period and the wave height on the wave forces of the vertical breast wall have been also investigated. The distribution of wave pressure under different wave actions was tested based on the force sensor which is installed in the vertical breakwater. By comparing and analyzing the measured values and norms calculated values, the applicability of the existing norms recommended method were discussed and a reference for the design of vertical breakwater was provided. Experiment results show that with the decrease of the water depth, the gap is growing between the actual wave forces and the specification values, and there are no obvious regulations between these two values with the variation of period while wave force greatly reduces with the overtopping reducing. The amount of water depth and wave overtopping has a significant impact on the wave force of overtopping section while the period has no obvious influence on the wave force. Finally, some favorable recommendations for the overtopping wave force design of the vertical breakwater according to the model experiment results are provided. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=overtopping%20wave" title="overtopping wave">overtopping wave</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=physical%20model%20experiment" title=" physical model experiment"> physical model experiment</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=vertical%20breakwater" title=" vertical breakwater"> vertical breakwater</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=wave%20forces" title=" wave forces"> wave forces</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/47386/experimental-investigation-for-the-overtopping-wave-force-of-the-vertical-breakwater" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/47386.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">303</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">151</span> Development of Cationic Gelatin Nanoparticles as an Antigen-Carrier for Mucosal Immunization</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Ping-Lun%20Jiang">Ping-Lun Jiang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Hung-Jun%20Lin"> Hung-Jun Lin</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Shen-Fu%20Lin"> Shen-Fu Lin</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Mei-Yin%20Chien"> Mei-Yin Chien</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Ting-Wei%20Li"> Ting-Wei Li</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Chun-Han%20Lin"> Chun-Han Lin</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Der-Zen%20Liu"> Der-Zen Liu</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Mucosal vaccine induces both mucosal (secretory IgA) and systemic immune responses and it is considered an ideal vaccination strategy for prevention of infectious diseases. One important point to be considered in mucosal vaccination is effective antigen delivery system which can manage effective delivery of antigen to antigen-presenting cells (APCs) of mucosal. In the present study, cationic gelatin nanoparticles were prepared as ideal carriers for more efficient antigen delivery. The average diameter of cationic gelatin nanoparticle was approximate 190 nm, and the zeta potential was about +45 mV, then ovalbumin (OVA) was physically absorbed onto cationic gelatin nanoparticle. The OVA absorption rate was near 95% the zeta potential was about +20 mV. We show that cationic gelatin nanoparticle effectively facilitated antigen uptake by mice bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (mBMDCs) and RAW264.7 cells and induced higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. C57BL/6 mice twice immunized intranasally with OVA-absorbed cationic gelatin nanoparticle induced high levels of OVA-specific IgG in the serum and IgA in their in the nasal and lung wash fluid. These results indicate that nasal administration of cationic gelatin nanoparticles induced both mucosal and systemic immune responses and cationic gelatin nanoparticles might be a potential antigen delivery carrier for further clinical applications. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=antigen%20delivery" title="antigen delivery">antigen delivery</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=antigen-presenting%20cells" title=" antigen-presenting cells"> antigen-presenting cells</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=gelatin%20nanoparticle" title=" gelatin nanoparticle"> gelatin nanoparticle</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=mucosal%20vaccine" title=" mucosal vaccine"> mucosal vaccine</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/42981/development-of-cationic-gelatin-nanoparticles-as-an-antigen-carrier-for-mucosal-immunization" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/42981.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">359</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">150</span> Translation Quality Assessment in Fansubbed English-Chinese Swearwords: A Corpus-Based Study of the Big Bang Theory</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Qihang%20Jiang">Qihang Jiang</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Fansubbing, the combination of fan and subtitling, is one of the main branches of Audiovisual Translation (AVT) having kindled more and more interest of researchers into the AVT field in recent decades. In particular, the quality of so-called non-professional translation seems questionable due to the non-transparent qualification of subtitlers in a huge community network. This paper attempts to figure out how YYeTs aka 'ZiMuZu', the largest fansubbing group in China, translates swearwords from English to Chinese for its fans of the prevalent American sitcom The Big Bang Theory, taking cultural, social and political elements into account in the context of China. By building a bilingual corpus containing both the source and target texts, this paper found that most of the original swearwords were translated in a toned-down manner, probably due to Chinese audiences’ cultural and social network features as well as the strict censorship under the Chinese government. Additionally, House (2015)’s newly revised model of Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) was applied and examined. Results revealed that most of the subtitled swearwords achieved their pragmatic functions and exerted a communicative effect for audiences. In conclusion, this paper enriches the empirical research concerning House’s new TQA model, gives a full picture of the subtitling of swearwords in AVT field and provides a practical guide for the practitioners in their career of subtitling. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=corpus-based%20approach" title="corpus-based approach">corpus-based approach</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=fansubbing" title=" fansubbing"> fansubbing</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=pragmatic%20functions" title=" pragmatic functions"> pragmatic functions</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=swearwords" title=" swearwords"> swearwords</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=translation%20quality%20assessment" title=" translation quality assessment"> translation quality assessment</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/110190/translation-quality-assessment-in-fansubbed-english-chinese-swearwords-a-corpus-based-study-of-the-big-bang-theory" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/110190.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">143</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">149</span> Smart Wheel Chair: A Design to Accommodate Vital Sign Monitoring</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Stephanie%20Nihan">Stephanie Nihan</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jayson%20M.%20Fadrigalan"> Jayson M.

Typically, patients are required to visit the hospital in order to take the vital signs. VitalGO is a wheel chair system that equipped with medical devices to take vital signs and then transmit data to a mobile application for convenient, long term health monitoring. The vital signs include oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure, breathing rate and body temperature. Oxygen saturation and heart rate are monitored through pulse oximeter. Blood pressure is taken through a radar sensor. Breathing rate is derived through thoracic impedance while body temperature is measured through an infrared thermometer. The application receives data through bluetooth and stores in a database for review in a simple graphical interface. The application will have the ability to display this data over various time intervals such as a day, week, month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. The final system for the mobile app can also provide an interface for both the user and their physician(s) to record notes or keep record of daily symptoms that a patient might be having. The user’s doctor will be granted access by the user to view the patient information for assistance with a more accurate diagnosis. Also, this wheelchair accessory conveniently includes a foldable table/desk as somewhere to place an electronic device that may be used to access the app. The foldable table will overall contribute to the wheelchair user’s increased comfort and will give them somewhere to place food, a book, or any other form of entertainment that would normally be hard to juggle on their lap. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=wheel%20chair" title="wheel chair">wheel chair</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=vital%20sign" title=" vital sign"> vital sign</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=mobile%20application" title=" mobile application"> mobile application</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=telemedicine" title=" telemedicine"> telemedicine</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/69295/smart-wheel-chair-a-design-to-accommodate-vital-sign-monitoring" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/69295.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">331</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">148</span> Carbon Emission Reduction by Compact City Construction in Toyama, Japan</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Benyan%20Jiang">Benyan Jiang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Dawei%20Xia"> Dawei Xia</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Yong%20Li"> Yong Li</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Compact city construction is considered as an effective measure to reduce carbon emission in city lives. Toyama City started its compact city strategy in 2000 and was selected as a Japanese Environmental Model City in 2008 for its achievement. This paper takes Toyama as a study case, aiming to find how city polices affected people’s life styles and reduced carbon emission. The main materials used in this study are first-hand documents, like urban planning materials, government annual report and statistic data from transportation association. It is found that the main measures taken by Toyama City include the construction of light rail transit, increasing the frequency of buses, building park and ride parking lots. In addition to hardware facilities, it also offers flexible policies like passengers' coupons for the senior citizens and free use of parking lots by buying shopping vouchers. Besides, Toyama City encourages citizens to live within 500 meters of public transportation. People who buy an apartment near public transportation will receive 500,000 Japanese Yen. These measures have proven to their effects. Compared with 2005, in 2014, the transportation sector reduced emissions of 2.35 million tons of CO₂, 13.6%. This aspect is related to the increase in the number of cars in public transport and also related to fuel improvement. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a
