Abstract:
Gender recognition from facial images plays an important role in biometric applications. Employing Dyadic wavelet Transform (DyWT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP), we propose a new feature descriptor DyWT-LBP for gender recognition. DyWT is a multi-scale image transformation technique that decomposes an image into a number of sub-bands which separate the features at different scales. DyWT is a kind of translation invariant wavelet transform that has a better potential for detection than Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). On the other hand, LBP is a texture descriptor and is known to be the best for representing texture micro-patterns, which play a key role in the discrimination of different objects in an image. For DyWT, we used spline dyadic wavelets (SDW). There exist many types of SDW; we investigated a number of SDWs for finding the best SDW for gender recognition. The dimension of the feature space generated by DyWT-LBP descriptor becomes excessively high. To tackle this problem, we apply a feature subset selection (FSS) technique that not only reduces the number of features significantly but also improves the recognition accuracy. Through a large number of experiments performed on FERET and Multi-PIE databases, we report for DyWT-LBP descriptor the parameter settings, which result in the best accuracy. The proposed system outperforms the stat of the art gender recognition approaches; it achieved a recognition rate of 99.25% and 99.09% on FERET and Multi-PIE databases, respectively.

Abstract:
We identified the graphical perceptual information needs of older adults (≥ 60 years of age) through a set of psychophysical experiments on bar, stacked, and pie charts. The results are compared with those of a general population (< 60 years of age). We conducted the experiments as online remote studies with 202 total participants across two experimental types: (1) comparison judgments of graphs (50 older adults, 50 general population) and (2) proportion judgments of graphs (52 older adults, 50 general population). Older adults took longer than the general population to complete tasks across both comparison (4.09 s) and proportion judgments (3.66 s). However, this translated to an approximately equal level of perceptual accuracy. Bar charts were the most effective graphical display when considering both speed and accuracy. Older adults were more accurate using pie charts compared with the general population in the comparison task.

Abstract:
Artificial antistatic fibers due to their low cost as well as providing desirable properties based on their constitutive components, have attracted considerable interests. In the present study, bicomponent antistatic fibers with various cross-sectional configurations (i.e. core/sheath and segmented-pie structures) were produced using the mixture of carbon black/dispersing agent/PBT and polyethylene terephthalate. To investigate their practical application, woven fabrics were produced and then examined upon their antistatic characteristics as well their thermal properties, wash durability and breaking strength and elongation. Moreover, the effect of dispersing agent during fiber spinning was examined. Among the produced fibers with different structural configuration, it was concluded that the core/sheath antistatic fibers exhibited higher breaking strength and elongation, as well as lower electrical resistivity. Rheological investigations based on the pressure tests indicated that the homogeneous distribution of the fillers (e.g. carbon black) within the polyester pellets is required for manufacturing the uniform fibers. Moreover, it was determined that surface resistivity of the fabrics could be kept unchangeable even after 20 times of washing, revealing their reliable wash durability. Finally, it was found out that the mixture of carbon black/dispersing agent/PBT provides such desirable conductivity; also, the fabrics comprised of fibers with core/sheath configuration could be a good candidate for antistatic applications within the textile industry.

Abstract:
Human face is one of the most common and useful keys to a person's identity. Although, a number of face recognition algorithms have been proposed, many researchers believe that the technology should be improved further in order to overcome the instability caused by variable illuminations, expressions, poses and accessories. To analyze these face recognition algorithm, it is indispensable to collect various data as much as possible. Face databases such as CMU PIE (USA), FERET (USA), AR Face DB (USA) and XM2VTS (UK) are the representative ones commonly used. However, many databases do not provide adequately annotated information of the pose angle, illumination angle, illumination color and ground-truth. Mostly, they do not include large enough number of images and video data taken under various environments. Furthermore, the faces on these databases have different characteristics from those of Asian. Thus, we have designed and constructed a Korean Face Database (KFDB) which includes not only images but also video clips, ground-truth information of facial feature points and descriptions of subjects and environment conditions so that it can be used for general purposes. In this paper, we present the KFDB which contains image and video data for 1920 subjects and has been constructed in 3 years (sessions). We also present recognition results by CM (Correlation Matching) and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) which are used as baseline algorithms upon CMU PIE and KFDB, so as to understand how recognition rate is changed by altering image taking conditions.

Los invernaderos se han visto tradicionalmente como poco más que una anécdota en la historia de la construcción, aunque en realidad fueran el tipo arquitectónico más innovador del siglo XIX. Conjugando la rigurosa atención a los problemas del clima con el uso de los materiales industriales y los nuevos sistemas de calefacción, los invernaderos dieron pie a soluciones formales y técnicas extremadamente eficaces, que están en la base del diseño pasivo contemporáneo. Este artículo da cuenta de los orígenes del invernadero, de su desarrollo y consolidación como tipo termodinámico, y de su rápida extrapolación a otros usos convertido ya en ‘pseudomorfo’, para acabar desvelando su íntima relación con las llamadas ‘casas solares’ del siglo XX. Todo ello a la luz de una pulsión de calado en la tradición moderna: la búsqueda improbable de un clima completamente artificial.

Abstract:
This paper, presents a novel unsupervised dimensionality reduction approach called variance difference embedding (VDE) for facial feature extraction. The proposed VDE method is derived from maximizing the difference between global variance and local variance, so it can draw the close samples closer and simultaneously making the mutually distant samples even more distant from each other. VDE utilizes the maximum variance difference criterion rather than the generalized Rayleigh quotient as a class separability measure, thereby avoiding the singularity problem when addressing the sample size problem. The results of the experiments conducted on ORL database, Yale database and a subset of PIE database indicate the effectiveness of the proposed VDE method on facial feature extraction and classification.

Abstract:
In this paper, a new appearance-based technique called symbolic factorial discriminant analysis (symbolic FDA) is explored for face representation and recognition under varying illumination conditions. In the past few years, many appearance-based methods have been proposed to model image variations of human faces under different lighting conditions using single valued variables to represent the facial features. In the proposed symbolic factorial discriminant analysis method, we extract interval type discriminating features, which are robust to illumination changes. The minimum distance classifier with symbolic dissimilarity measure is used for classification. The proposed method has been successfully tested for face recognition using three databases, namely, Yale Face database B, CMU PIE database and Harvard database. The experimental results have demonstrated the effective performance of this method.

Abstract:
Face recognition has been extensively studied by many scholars in the recent decades. Local binary pattern (LBP) is one of the most popular local descriptors and has been widely applied to face recognition. Wavelet transform is also more and more active in the field of pattern recognition. In this paper, a novel feature extraction method is proposed to overcome illumination influence. First, a given face image is processed by the LBP operator, and an LBP image is obtained. Second, wavelet transform is used to extract discriminant feature from the LBP image. The experiment results on LFW, Extended YaleB and CMU-PIE face databases show that the proposed method outperforms several popular face recognition methods, and the preprocessing step plays an important role to extract effective features for classification.

Abstract:
Facial expression recognition (FER) plays a significant part in artificial intelligence and computer vision. However, most of facial expression recognition methods have not obtained satisfactory results based on low-level features. The existed methods used in facial expression recognition encountered the major issues of linear inseparability, large computational burden, and data redundancy. To obtain satisfactory results, we propose an innovative deep learning (DL) model using the kernel entropy component analysis network (KECANet) and directed acyclic graph support vector machine (DAGSVM). We use the KECANet in the feature extraction stage. In the stage of output, binary hashing and blockwise histograms are adopted. We sent the final output features to the DAGSVM classifier for expression recognition. We test the performance of our proposed method on three databases of CK+, JAFFE, and CMU Multi-PIE. According to the experiment results, the proposed method can learn high-level features and provide more recognition information in the stage of training, obtaining a higher recognition rate.

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel approach to address pose-invariant face frontalization aiming Multiview Facial Expression Recognition (MFER). Particularly, the proposed approach is a hybrid method, including both synthesizing and mapping techniques. The key idea is to use mapped reconstructive coefficients of each arbitrary viewpoints and the frontal bases where the mapping functions are provided by learning between frontal and non-frontal faces’ coefficients. We also exploit sparse coding for synthesizing the frontalized faces, even with large poses. For evaluation, two qualitative and quantitative assessments are used along with an application of multiview facial expression recognition as a case study. The results show that our approach is efficient in terms of frontalizing non-frontal faces. Moreover, its validation on two popular datasets, BU3DFE and Multi-PIE, with various assessments contexts reveals its efficiency and stability on head pose variation, especially on large poses.

El Día 0, las vacas recibieron un dispositivo intravaginal con progesterona durante 8 días y a los terneros se les colocó la tablilla nasal. La IATF se realizó el Día 10 y el diagnóstico de gestación se realizó a los 35 días por ultrasonografía. En los terneros se determinó el peso a los Días 0, 14 y al destete (6 meses de edad). El porcentaje de preñez fue similar entre tratamientos (AR=51.0%; C=53.0%), independientemente de la raza. Al destete, los terneros del tratamiento C fueron 12.2 kg más pesados que los terneros del AR. El segundo experimento se hizo con 109 vacas Angus multíparas con cría al pie con 59.9±0.7 días posparto, asignadas a los tratamientos AR y C. No hubo efecto sobre el porcentaje de preñez (AR=66.0%; C=72.0%) y los terneros del tratamiento C fueron 8.6 kg más pesados al destete que los del AR. Los resultados demostraron que en vacas multíparas, la restricción del amamantamiento combinado con un tratamiento hormonal para IATF no mejora el porcentaje de preñez y afecta negativamente el peso de los terneros al destete.

Abstract:
In embryo transfer programs, 2 inseminations per superstimulated donor are usually recommended. Based on studies of follicular dynamics in Bos indicus donors (Baruselli et al. 2006 Theriogenology 65, 77–88), we tested the hypothesis that a single fixed-time AI (FTAI) at 16 h after pituitary luteinizing hormone (pLH) treatment is as efficacious as 2 FTAI at 12 and 24 h after the pLH treatment. Suckling Nelore cows (n = 10), 60 � 12 days postpartum, were equally distributed in 2 experimental groups: G-1TAI vs. G-2TAI, in a crossover design. All animals received an intravaginal progesterone device (DIB; Syntex S.A., Buenos Aires, Argentina) and 2 mg of estradiol benzoate (IM, Ric Be; Syntex) at random stages of the estrous cycle (Day 0). Superstimulatory treatments started on Day 4 with pFSH (133 mg; Folltropin-V; Bioniche Animal Health Canada, Inc., Belleville, Ontario, Canada) in 8 decreasing doses, given IM 12 h apart. On Day 6, all cows received 2 (AM and PM) treatments of 0.15 mg of d-cloprostenol (Prolise; Syntex). The DIB devices were removed 36 h after the first PGF2� injection. The pLH treatment (25 mg IM; Lutropin-V; Bioniche) was given 48 h after the first PGF2� treatment (12 h after the last pFSH treatment). In the G-2TAI group, all cows received 2 inseminations (12 and 24 h after the pLH). Cows in the G-1TAI group received a single insemination (16 h after the pLH). All inseminations were done with the same batch of semen from a single bull. Ultrasound examinations (PIE Medical Scanner 200; Pie Medical Equipment, Maastricht, The Netherlands) were performed every 12 h from 0 to 72 h after pLH treatment to evaluate the number of ovulatory follicles (&lt;8 mm), the ovulation rate, and the time of ovulation. Variables were analyzed by ANOVA and chi-square test. The homogeneity of the variances (distribution of ovulations) was analyzed by Bartlett&apos;s test. Conclusions were based on a 5% level of significance. The results for G-1TAI and G-2TAI were, respectively: number of follicles &gt;8 mm at the time of pLH administration (16.2 � 1.4 vs. 14.8 � 1.2; P &gt; 0.05), ovulation rate (63.8 � 3.8% vs. 64.2 � 4.3%; P &gt; 0.05), interval from the first to the last ovulation (32.4 � 1.8 vs. 33.6 � 1.6 h; P &gt; 0.05), total ova/embryos (8.2 � 0.9 vs. 7.2 � 0.8; P &gt; 0.05), Grade 1 embryos (2.0 � 0.5 vs. 2.3 � 0.4; P &gt; 0.05), transferable embryos (Grades 1, 2, and 3) (4.3 � 0.7 vs. 4.2 � 0.6; P &gt; 0.05), freezable embryos (Grades 1 and 2) (2.9 � 0.6 vs. 2.8 � 0.4; P &gt; 0.05), unfertilized ova (0.6 � 0.2 vs. 0.8 � 0.2; P &gt; 0.05), and degenerated embryos (3.3 � 0.9 vs. 2.2 � 0.3; P &gt; 0.05). These results suggest no significant differences in embryo production between superstimulated Nelore donors inseminated once or twice by fixed time following administration of pLH.

Abstract:
Local binary pattern (LBP) operator offers an efficient way to recognize face under varying illumination, while it has the drawback of abandoning some important texture features. Local multiple patterns (LMP) has alleviated the problem by a hierarchical model. However, the LMP method can bring out the rapid expansion of feature dimension, so a special feature encoding method is adopted by this paper. Meanwhile, we find that the LMP features of different layers can be used to recognize face independently so that it would preserve more abundant recognition information. Most importantly, the contribution of the LMP features from different layers is blurry under varying illumination. We propose a fuzzy framework to fuse the recognition result of different layers and use adaptive weights to calculate contribution rates of different layers under varying illumination. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on four databases such as Yale B, Extended Yale B, CMU PIE and Outdoor.

Abstract:
Automatic face recognition is a challenging problem in the biometrics area, where the dimension of the sample space is typically larger than the number of samples in the training set and consequently the so-called small sample size problem exists. Recently, neuroscientists emphasized the manifold ways of perception, and showed the face images may reside on a nonlinear submanifold hidden in the image space. Many manifold learning methods, such as Isometric feature mapping, Locally Linear Embedding, and Locally Linear Coordination are proposed. These methods achieved the submanifold by collectively analyzing the overlapped local neighborhoods and all claimed to be superior to such subspace methods as Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces in terms of classification accuracy. However, in literature, no systematic comparative study for face recognition is performed among them. In this paper, we carry out a comparative study in face recognition among them, and the study considers theoretical aspects as well as simulations performed using CMU PIE and FERET face databases.

Abstract:
An improved manifold learning method, called Uncorrelated Local Fisher Discriminant Analysis (ULFDA), for face recognition is proposed. Motivated by the fact that statistically uncorrelated features are desirable for dimension reduction, we propose a new difference-based optimization objective function to seek a feature submanifold such that the within-manifold scatter is minimized, and between-manifold scatter is maximized simultaneously in the embedding space. We impose an appropriate constraint to make the extracted features statistically uncorrelated. The uncorrelated discriminant method has an analytic global optimal solution, and it can be computed based on eigen decomposition. As a result, the proposed algorithm not only derives the optimal and lossless discriminative information, but also guarantees that all extracted features are statistically uncorrelated. Experiments on synthetic data and AT&T, extended YaleB and CMU PIE face databases are performed to test and evaluate the proposed algorithm. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

As data becomes more accessible, visualization methods are needed to help make it easier to understand the information. Analyzing and visualizing data makes it easier to understand a dataset without having to read through it, and elucidate connections between two or more different datasets. Tableau is one of the most popular interactive data visualization software. By using Tableau, it is easy to find correlations between datasets, reorganize datasets through pivoting or joining them, and create visualizations such as geo map charts, geo bubble charts, table charts, line charts, pie charts, and treemap charts. This project aims to show the correlation between a country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through Tableau. Large data sets related to the GDP and HIV were gathered from open data sources. The data will be cleaned through Tableau and Excel, and correlations between datasets will be shown through variable charts with Tableau.

Benefiting from the observations that human faces share similar shape, and the albedos of the face surfaces are quasi-constant, we first estimate the nine low-frequency components of the illumination from the input facial image. The facial image is then normalized to the canonical illumination by re-rendering it using the illumination ratio image technique. For the purpose of face recognition, two kinds of canonical illuminations, the uniform illumination and a frontal flash with the ambient lights, are considered, among which the former encodes merely the texture information, while the latter encodes both the texture and shading information. Our experiments on the CMU-PIE face database and the Yale B face database have shown that the proposed relighting normalization can significantly improve the performance of a face recognition system when the probes are collected under varying lighting conditions.

Abstract:
Frecuentemente conceptualizadas como la génesis de una nueva edad áurea, las profecías medievales del último emperador mundial y el segundo Carlomagno sirvieron de estímulo ideológico para la conquista española de La Araucanía. Examinando La Araucana (1569, 1578, 1589) de Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga, afirmo que las dudas del poeta acerca de la empresa imperial revelan que, a pesar de su insistencia en la venida inminente del apocalipsis y una nueva edad áurea, el destino de esta empresa da pie a una edad de hierro. A comienzos del poema, Ercilla se esmera en documentar la Guerra de Arauco al componer una crónica rimada en tres partes, la segunda y la tercera partes de la cual son recipientes en que el poeta vierte sus lamentaciones sobre la realidad cruenta en La Araucanía. Al determinar que ha penetrado en un paraíso terrestre durante una misión al archipiélago de Chiloé - donde se maravilla ante la vida pacífica de los nativos - Ercilla se percata de que el destino imperial no abre paso a una nueva edad áurea, sino que antes ocasiona una edad de hierro. Esta epifanía lacerante desenmascara la base artificial de este destino y el imperio que se lo ha apropiado.

Abstract:
This study compared pregnancy rates following 2 timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocols using PGF2α + oestradiol or PGF2α + oestradiol + GnRH in dairy cows. Four hundred fifty-five Holstein dairy cows, 2.2 ± 0.1 in parity, 148.3 ± 3.6 days in milk, with corpus luteum of greater than 20 mm diameter confirmed by ultrasonography (Tringa Linear with 5.0 MHz array transducer; Esaote Pie Medical, Maastricht, the Netherlands) were randomly divided into two treatments: an injection of 500 μg of cloprostenol, PGF2α analogue (Iliren cycle BP®, Intervet International GmbH, Unterschleissheim, Germany) and an injection of 2 mg of oestradiol benzoate (EB, SY Esrone, Samyang, Seoul, Korea) 36 h later (PGF2α + EB group, n = 257), or an injection of 500 μg of cloprostenol, an injection of 2 mg of EB 36 h later and an additional injection of 100 μg of gonadorelin, GnRH analogue (Godorel, Uni-Biotech Co., Ltd., Korea) 24 h later (PGF2α + EB + GnRH group, n = 198). All cows in the two groups received TAI 24 h after the EB injection. Pregnancy was determined at 40 to 50 days after TAI by using both ultrasonography and rectal palpation. Pregnancy rates between the PGF2α + EB and PGF2α + EB + GnRH groups were compared by the chi-square test using the SAS program (version 9.1: SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Pregnancy rate following TAI did not differ between the PGF2α + EB (32.7%) and PGF2α + EB + GnRH groups (34.9%; P > 0.05). In conclusion, addition of GnRH for TAI protocol using PGF2α + oestradiol did not improve pregnancy rate in dairy cows.

Abstract:
Face recognition (FR) is a hotspot in pattern recognition and image processing for its wide applications in real life. One of the most challenging problems in FR is single sample face recognition (SSFR). In this paper, we proposed a novel algorithm based on nonnegative sparse representation, collaborative presentation, and probabilistic graph estimation to address SSFR. The proposed algorithm is named as Nonnegative Sparse Probabilistic Estimation (NNSPE). To extract the variation information from the generic training set, we first select some neighbor samples from the generic training set for each sample in the gallery set and the generic training set can be partitioned into some reference subsets. To make more meaningful reconstruction, the proposed method adopts nonnegative sparse representation to reconstruct training samples, and according to the reconstruction coefficients, NNSPE computes the probabilistic label estimation for the samples of the generic training set. Then, for a given test sample, collaborative representation (CR) is used to acquire an adaptive variation subset. Finally, the NNSPE classifies the test sample with the adaptive variation subset and probabilistic label estimation. The experiments on the AR and PIE verify the effectiveness of the proposed method both in recognition rates and time cost.

The following paper presents the main results of exploratory research-oriented to the design and implementation of a pattern recognition system for flatfoot identification in children between 5 and 6 years. Patterns were determined from texture analysis of foot thermographic images, and from contour analysis of footprint images. For each case, an artificial neuronal network was trained, with base in a back-propagation algorithm. In each trial, 70 % of data were used for training, and 30 % for validation. For experiments done, success rates greater than 80 % were achieved. The best results were reached with contour patterns reduced by principal components analysis, PCA, in a binary system, with a success rate of 90.84 % in cross-validation. Results are a contribution to the study of diagnostic techniques for flatfoot treatment through the use of technologic tools.

Abstract:
Este artículo versa sobre el tema de la construcción de estereotipos culturales a través de uno de sus múltiples alicientes etnocéntricos, la rivalidad regional. Si bien, el fundamento de esta relación antagónica entre localidades vecinas puede derivar de un conflicto originario (el cual en el caso que nos ocupa se relaciona, sin duda, con el auge del cardenismo que convirtió a Jiquilpan en un centro político nacional), su actualidad a los ojos de los habitantes de ambos municipios cobra la forma de un chauvinismo exacerbado donde por un lado Jiquilpan aparece de manera esquemática como un municipio heredero de una cultura política de rancio abolengo que ha dado pie a un reconocimiento nacional y donde, por otro, Sahuayo combina su vocación comercial con su triple arraigo religioso sefardí, católico y cristero. Este contraste corresponde a una sobrerrepresentación que construye una brecha imaginaria entre los dos municipios ocultando la relación de cercanía y complementariedad que no ha dejado de existir entre ambos. En este sentido, las identidades locales se nutren de esta aparente distancia que corresponde a lo que Freud ya había señalado (1978, 55-56) como expresión de un “narcisismo de las pequeñas diferencias” o lo que Moisés Sáenz (1939, 113) describió como expresión de la fragmentación nacional donde cada comunidad, localidad y pueblo del país se convierte en una “patria chica” para sus habitantes. Bajo un enfoque constructivista, este artículo examina la construcción de algunos artificios identitarios cuyo propósito social no es tanto identificar lo propio en cada municipio, sino crear de facto una distancia entre ambos, tan artificial como inconmensurable, a través de la incorporación rutinaria en las prácticas sociales de representaciones sociales sobre el otro en tanto que “no jiquilpense” o “no sahuayense”.

Abstract:
A new facial biometric scheme is proposed in this paper. Three steps are included. First, a new nontensor product bivariate wavelet is utilized to get different facial frequency components. Then a modified 2D linear discriminant technique (M2DLD) is applied on these frequency components to enhance the discrimination of the facial features. Finally, support vector machine (SVM) is adopted for classification. Compared with the traditional tensor product wavelet, the new nontensor product wavelet can detect more singular facial features in the high-frequency components. Earlier studies show that the high-frequency components are sensitive to facial expression variations and minor occlusions, while the low-frequency component is sensitive to illumination changes. Therefore, there are two advantages of using the new nontensor product wavelet compared with the traditional tensor product one. First, the low-frequency component is more robust to the expression variations and minor occlusions, which indicates that it is more efficient in facial feature representation. Second, the corresponding high-frequency components are more robust to the illumination changes, subsequently it is more powerful for classification as well. The application of the M2DLD on these wavelet frequency components enhances the discrimination of the facial features while reducing the feature vectors dimension a lot. The experimental results on the AR database and the PIE database verified the efficiency of the proposed method.

Abstract:
In face recognition tasks, Fisher discriminant analysis (FDA) is one of the promising methods for dimensionality reduction and discriminant feature extraction. The objective of FDA is to find an optimal projection matrix, which maximizes the between-class-distance and simultaneously minimizes within-class-distance. The main limitation of traditional FDA is the so-called Small Sample Size (3S) problem. It induces that the within-class scatter matrix is singular and then the traditional FDA fails to perform directly for pattern classification. To overcome 3S problem, this paper proposes a novel two-step single parameter regularization Fisher discriminant (2SRFD) algorithm for face recognition. The first semi-regularized step is based on a rank lifting theorem. This step adjusts both the projection directions and their corresponding weights. Our previous three-to-one parameter regularized technique is exploited in the second stage, which just changes the weights of projection directions. It is shown that the final regularized within-class scatter matrix approaches the original within-class scatter matrix as the single parameter tends to zero. Also, our method has good computational complexity. The proposed method has been tested and evaluated with three public available databases, namely ORL, CMU PIE and FERET face databases. Comparing with existing state-of-the-art FDA-based methods in solving the S3 problem, the proposed 2SRFD approach gives the best performance.

This study determined the effect of supplementation with oestradiol or oestradiol plus GnRH after PGF2α administration on pregnancy rates after timed artificial insemination (TAI) in dairy cows. Three hundred and six Holstein dairy cows with corpus luteum confirmed by ultrasonography (Tringa Linear with 5.0 MHz array transducer; Esaote Pie Medical, Maastricht, the Netherlands) were randomly allocated to three treatments: a single injection of 500 μg of cloprostenol, PGF2α analogue (Estrumate, Schering-Plough Animal Health, Friesoythe, Germany; PGF2α group, n = 115) designated as 0 h, an injection of 500 μg of cloprostenol and an injection of 1 mg of oestradiol benzoate (EB, SY Esrone; Samyang, Seoul, Korea) 56 h later (PGF2α + EB group, n = 114), or the same treatment as in the PGF2α + EB group and an additional injection of 100 μg of gonadorelin, GnRH analogue (Godorel, Uni-Biotech Co., Ltd., Korea) 24 h later (PGF2α + EB + GnRH group, n = 77). All cows in each group received TAI 80 h after the PGF2α injection. Pregnancy was determined at 40 to 50 days after TAI by using both ultrasonography and rectal palpation. Pregnancy rate among groups were compared by the chi-square test using the SAS program (version 9.1: SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Pregnancy rate following TAI were higher (P < 0.05) in the PGF2α + EB + GnRH group (34/77, 44.2%) than in the PGF2α group (31/115, 27.0%), with the PGF2α + EB group intermediate (39/114, 34.2%). In conclusion, the supplementation with oestradiol plus GnRH after PGF2α administration improved pregnancy rate after TAI in dairy cows.

Introducción: para lograr el mayor aprovechamiento del potencial productivo y genético en bovinos, es necesario lograr la concepción de las vacas lo más pronto posible. El anestro posparto puede afectar la fertilidad por largo tiempo, lo cual se asocia a numerosos factores, entre ellos la presencia del ternero y la conducta maternal. Objetivo: comparar protocolos de sincronización de la ovulación, utilizando gonadotropina coriónica equina (eCG) con amamantamiento restringido y sin este, en vacas brahman en anestro con cría en pie. Metodología: de un total de 240 vacas se seleccionaron mediante muestreo no probabilístico 184 animales de estudio, con base en el criterio de inclusión, y se les asignó aleatoriamente alguno de los tratamientos. Se realizaron dos tratamientos y dos controles. Los protocolos de sincronización de la ovulación que utilizan progestágenos y estrógenos variaron en el uso o no de eCG, y en el empleo o no de restricción del amantamiento. Resultados: mediante la prueba de comparación de proporciones de Pearson para muestras independientes, se pudo determinar con un 95 % de confianza (p = 0,8308) que no existen diferencias significativas en el porcentaje de preñez si “se realiza” o “no” restricción del amamantamiento, cuando en los protocolos de sincronización de celo se utiliza eCG. Conclusión: el uso de protocolos para sincronización de la ovulación para inseminación artificial a tiempo fijo (IATF) con la administración de eCG en anestro, y sin realizar restricción del amamantamiento, es una alternativa de manejo reproductivo que incrementa los porcentajes de preñez y favorece la cría de terneros.

Abstract:
Moringa oleifera Lam. is a drought-resistant plant and able to survive in poor soils, obtaining up to three harvests per year. This culture has wide employability in the cosmetics, medicinal, food industry and also as a potential for water purification. Despite its widespread use, there are few studies on its processing. Thus, the objective of this work was to study the behavior during the drying process, at the drying air temperatures of 40 ºC, 55 ºC and 70 ºC, applying mathematical models to the experimental data, thus selecting the best model according to the kinetics curves of drying, as well as evaluating the effect of this phenomenon on the efficiency of mechanical oil extraction. Pre-dried Moringa oleifera Lam. grains from the city of Barreirinhas (MA) were used, the second semester of 2018 and the experiment conducted at the Agricultural Engineering Department of the Federal University of Lavras (MG). Artificial drying was carried out to a constant grain mass, using a mechanical laboratory dryer in a fixed layer with forced convection, at an air speed of 0.33 ms-1, with controlled drying air temperatures of 40 °C, 55 °C, and 70 °C. Non-linear regression analysis was performed using the Quasi-Newton method to adjust 11 mathematical models to experimental data. The oil was extracted using an expeller-type mechanical press. The press yield and efficiency were calculated from the difference in lipid content obtained by the initial chemical extraction of the grain and residual of the pie. The Exponential Equation of Two Terms was the one that best suited the experimental data for all drying air temperatures. The increase in the temperature of the drying air caused greater volumetric contraction of the moringa grains, which affected the oil extraction yield, resulting in lower efficiency of the mechanical press.

Abstract:
Many photovoltaic (PV) parks suffer from a decrement in their generated power capability due to a phenomenon called potential induced degradation (PID). In this paper, a regenerative system using a high step-up DC–DC converter is proposed, for regenerating PV cells that have been degraded due to the PID effect. The same device also can be used for artificially creating PID on PV panels in order to study the effects of the PID under controlled conditions. The power converter offers multiple voltage levels at the output to adapt to various voltage ratings of PV parks. The device has plug-and-play features, ultra-low cost, small size and is simple in operation. Experimental tests are conducted in real PV panels and comparative results verify the operational principles of the proposed system. The artificial creation of the PID phenomenon and the regeneration of the PV cells are successfully proven experimentally.

Abstract:
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, threatens rice production in most of the rice-growing areas in China, especially in regions that have grown Oryza sativa subsp. japonica in recent years. The use of resistance genes is the most effective and economical approach for blast control. In our study, a set of six near-isogenic lines (NIL) were developed by introgression of six resistance alleles of the Piz locus (Pi2, Pigm, Pi40, Pi9, Piz, and Pizt) into a blast-susceptible, high-yielding, high-quality japonica ‘07GY31’ via marker-assisted backcross breeding. Artificial inoculation using 144 M. oryzae isolates collected from the lower region of the Yangtze River, China, revealed that most of the NIL, including NIL-Pi2, NIL-Pigm, NIL-Pi40, NIL-Pi9, and NIL-Pizt, exhibited broad-spectrum resistance against rice blast at the seedling stage, with resistance frequencies (RF) of 93.06 to 98.61%. NIL-Piz was an exception, with an RF of 21.53%, which was slightly higher than the recurrent parent 07GY31. NIL-Pi40 and NIL-Pigm had broad-spectrum resistance (RF of 93.33 and 71.67%, respectively) at the heading stage following inoculation of 60 isolates of M. oryzae. Field trials with artificial inoculation at the seedling and heading stage showed that NIL-Pigm and NIL-Pi40 were highly resistant in four locations under high disease pressure. NIL-Pizt showed effective resistance in three locations from Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces. This study shows that O. sativa subsp. japonica alleles of the Piz locus confer resistance to M. oryzae, and provides an effective method to enhance seedling and panicle blast resistance in rice plants in the lower region of the Yangtze River, China.

Abstract:
Imperalist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is one method of artificial intelligence inspired by competition for power. In system optimization this method gets better results than other artificial intelligence methods. DC shunt motors do not need a lot of space because of the small wire diameter, but the output power is very small because the amplifier current is small. A good shunt motor setting is needed to produce the desired motor speed. In this study PID controls were tuned using ICA. This good PID guide will get a good system optimization. As a comparison, the control of the shunt motor speed without control, with PID control, with detuning ICA PID control (PID-ICA). The results showed that the results of PID-ICA had the smallest overshot and undershot, with a speed of 500.00 rpm and the fastest settling time : 1201 s. This research will be developed using other artificial intelligence methods.

Abstract:
Imperalist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is one method of artificial intelligence inspired by competition for power. In system optimization this method gets better results than other artificial intelligence methods. DC shunt motors do not need a lot of space because of the small wire diameter, but the output power is very small because the amplifier current is small. A good shunt motor setting is needed to produce the desired motor speed. In this study PID controls were tuned using ICA. This good PID guide will get a good system optimization. As a comparison, the control of the shunt motor speed without control, with PID control, with detuning ICA PID control (PID-ICA). The results showed that the results of PID-ICA had the smallest overshot and undershot, with a speed of 500.00 rpm and the fastest settling time : 1201 s. This research will be developed using other artificial intelligence methods.

Abstract:
PID control scheme has been widely used in most of control system. The method of design PID controller is mature gradually. Due to the controlled object is nonlinear and time-varying, so the integer PID controller can not achieve the desired effect. After study people found that the application of fractional order PID controllers can solve the problem of time-varying and nonlinear very well and the controller has high control precision. Currently, the method of design fractional order PID controllers is little. This article describes an artificial immune algorithm and using MATLAB for simulation, the simulation results demonstrate that the artificial immune algorithm has little error and high optimization speed than traditional optimization algorithm, and the fractional order PID controller has a better control effect than traditional integer PID controller.

Abstract:
Artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA) is a novel swarm intelligence algorithm for global optimization. An efficient method based on ABCA is proposed for optimal tuning of robust proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller in this paper. A multi-objective optimization is applied to balance several constraint factors of controller. Performance of robust PID controller is evaluated by a three-order and time-delay transfer function with 40%, 50% and 60% uncertainty, respectively. Simulation result clearly demonstrates that the designed controller can obtain an optimal tuning and endure parameter fluctuation. From comparisons of robust PID controller in different uncertainties, a conclusion can be obtained that performance of robust PID controller will be worse as the uncertainty increases, even obtain a divergent solution when the uncertainty is more than 60%.

Abstract:
This research investigates the acceptability of the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) over the PID Controller for the control of the Magnetic Levitation System (MLS). In the field of advanced control systems, this system identifies as a feedback-controlled, single input- single output (SISO) system. This SISO system used a PID controller for vertical trajectory controlling of a metal sphere in airspace by using an electromagnetic force that directed to upward. The vertical position of the metal sphere controlled according to the applied magnetic force generated by a powerful electromagnet and the electromagnetic force controlled by varying the supply voltage. To control this nonlinear system, we develop a multilayer artificial neural network by using Matlab software and integrate that with the physical magnetic levitation model. According to specific initial conditions, the actual responses of the magnetic levitation system with artificial neural network compares the desire response of the metal sphere. The ability of control this nonlinear system by using neural networks validate by comparing results obtained by the PID controller and artificial neural network.
