Drought occurs across all climates worldwide, but has different impacts from one region to another. Because water is the most basic of human needs, drought and water shortage can result in severe socioeconomic difficulties that take years to overcome. While drought has traditionally been classified on the basis of deficiencies in precipitation, with the advent of climate change and the increase in evapotranspiration that is occurring, efforts have been made to focus instead on derived soil moisture anomalies. A less recognized factor modulating soil moisture anomalies is the use of engineered water supply, through canals or river diversions, and also through groundwater pumping. This paper attempts to formulate a multivariate metric of sustained water stress severity that attempts to incorporate these additional sources of water supply in engineered subbasins. The proposed index uses entropy theory as the basis of its formulation, and was compared against traditional indexes, and the differences were noted. Remotely sensed vegetation products were used as an independent means of assessing the validity of the proposed index. It was found that the proposed index collapses to the more traditional drought indexes in subbasins without significant unnatural water supply, while presenting a more accurate picture of water stress in subbasins where engineered water supply is present, as interpreted by the vegetation (or its lack thereof) the water supply is able to sustain.

Estimation often proceeds without distinguishing the state of precipitation which can be reliably specified as a function of associated air temperature. In the present study, we hypothesise that incident air temperature is related to the phase of the precipitation and ensuing reflectivity measurement, and therefore could be used in prediction models to improve radar precipitation estimates in cold climates. This is the first study to our knowledge that assesses the dependence of radar precipitation on incident air temperature and presents a procedure that can be used for taking it into consideration. We use a data based nonparametric statistical approach for this assessment. A nonparametric predictive model is constructed with radar rain rate and air temperature as predictor variables and gauge precipitation as observed response using a k-nearest neighbour (k-nn) regression estimator. A partial information theoretic technique is used to ascertain the relative importance of the two predictors. Six years (2011–2017) of hourly radar rain rate from the Norwegian national radar network over the Oslo region, hourly gauged precipitation from 88 raingauges and gridded observational air temperature were used to formulate the predictive model and hence evaluate our hypothesis. The predictive model with temperature as an additional covariate reduces root mean squared error (RMSE) up to 15 % compared to the predictive model with radar rain rate as the sole predictor. More than 80 % of the raingauge locations in the study area showed improvement with the new method. Further, the estimated partial weight for air temperature assumed a zero value for more than 85 % of gauge locations when temperature was above 10 °C, which indicates that the partial dependence of precipitation on air temperature is most important for colder climates.", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Kuganesan Sivasubramaniam", "org": "Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway" }, { "name": "Ashish Sharma", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW2052, Australia" }, { "name": "Knut Alfredsen", "org": "Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway" } ], "venue": "Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions", "year": 2017 }, "ZDEERKTN": { "id": "ZDEERKTN", "title": "Characterising uncertainty in precipitation downscaling using a Bayesian approach", "abstract": "Statistical downscaling of GCM simulations is widely used for examining future changes in precipitation at different spatial and temporal scales.

The study investigates the impact of using two different reanalysis products, the National Centre for Environmental Prediction/National Centre for Atmospheric Research Reanalysis 2 (NCEP2) and the European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts Interim Reanalysis (ERAI), in precipitation downscaling over the Tibetan plateau, a region with sparse ground precipitation coverage.

An assessment of the downscaled precipitation results using atmospheric variables from the ACCESS 1.3 GCM to drive the downscaling model calibrated using a reanalysis dataset is also performed and the impact of calibration uncertainty quantified. The outcomes of this study reveal that the choice of the data length used and the type of Reanalysis product adopted have a significant effect in downscaled precipitation characteristics and their uncertainties, such as the wetness fraction and average annual precipitations over the study locations.

This paper presents a comparison between two such approaches applied for downscaling synoptic atmospheric patterns to point rainfall occurrences on a rain gauge network. The approaches evaluated are the parametric nonhomogenous hidden Markov model (NHMM) and the nonparametric k-nearest neighbor downscaling approach. The NHMM defines local-scale weather as a function of a discrete weather state that is Markovian and depends on predictor variables representing synoptic atmospheric patterns. As the model is defined parametrically, the number of parameters that need specification increases as one considers more discrete weather states. Consequently, parameter identification and generalization to ungauged sites becomes difficult. On the other hand, nonparametric resampling is attractive because of its efficiency and simplicity, being structured as a direct probabilistic relationship between the larger-scale climatic variables and the local-scale weather. Such a formulation offers a simpler alternative to the NHMM approach of using intermediate hidden weather state variables but is less capable of representing persistence introduced through Markovian assumptions in the NHMM. In the comparison presented here, we applied weather-state-based nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model and the k-nearest neighbor bootstrap to estimate precipitation occurrences at a network of 30 rain gauge locations around Sydney, Australia. Our results suggest that both the models perform well in representing spatial variations while they show a lack in representing temporal dependence at scales longer than a few days as exhibited through wet spell length characteristics.

A critical RT value is the minimum cumulative rainfall depth necessary to cause critical water level or discharge at a cross section of a river. The major drawback of the RT approach is associated with the offline methods used for extracting critical RT values based on some fixed watershed characteristics and rainfall conditions. In this paper, a novel methodology is presented for real-time updating of RT curves for flood forecasting using a rainfall-runoff model and an artificial neural network. In this method, in addition to the rainfall depth, observed discharges are also used to update the rainfall threshold curves for real-time soil moisture and rainfall temporal and spatial patterns. The method was tested on the Walnut Gulch watershed with a 50-min time of concentration for selected historical rainfall events. It was shown that applying the proposed updating method can prevent the issuance of false warning, e.g., for the flood of August 2006, and in some cases increase the lead time of flood forecasting, e.g., 20-min increase in lead time for the flood of June 2008. Using data for 14 major historical rain events, it was shown that by applying the updating method, the hit rate is increased by an average of 28% and the false rate is decreased by an average of 51%.

Commonly used bias correction methods are designed to match statistics of the overall simulated rainfall with observations. This assumes that change in the mix of different types of extreme rainfall events (i.e. convective and non-convective) in a warmer climate is of little relevance in the estimation of overall change, an assumption that is not supported by empirical or physical evidence. This study proposes an alternative approach to account for the potential change of alternate rainfall types, characterized here by synoptic weather patterns (SPs) using self-organizing maps classification. The objective of this study is to evaluate the added influence of SPs on the bias correction, which is achieved by comparing the corrected distribution of future extreme rainfall with that using conventional quantile mapping. A comprehensive synthetic experiment is first defined to investigate the conditions under which the additional information of SPs makes a significant difference to the bias correction. Using over 600,000 synthetic cases, statistically significant differences are found to be present in 46% cases. This is followed by a case study over the Sydney region using a high-resolution run of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional climate model, which indicates a small change in the proportions of the SPs and a statistically significant change in the extreme rainfall over the region, although the differences between the changes obtained from the two bias correction methods are not statistically significant.", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Jingwan Li", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales 2052, Australia" }, { "name": "Ashish Sharma", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales 2052, Australia" }, { "name": "Jason Evans", "org": "Climate Change Research Centre and ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, School of Biological, Environmental and Earth Sciences, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia" }, { "name": "Fiona Johnson", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales 2052, Australia" } ], "venue": "Journal of Hydrology", "year": 2018 }, "DGXJdmRS": { "id": "DGXJdmRS", "title": "A programming tool to generate multi-site daily rainfall using a two-stage semi parametric model.", "abstract": "Many problems in hydrology and agricultural science require extensive records of rainfall from multiple locations.

Continuous rainfall sequences provide a means for accounting of all aspects of rainfall that produce flooding, for example, not just the design rainfall event but also the rainfall prior to the extreme rainfall event. With the advent of climate change, higher temperatures have been associated with changes in rainfall, in particular intensifying rainfall extremes with less uniform temporal patterns. Given these demonstrated changes to extreme rainfall with temperature rise, there is a need to modify continuous rainfall generators to account for current and likely future changes in temperature. In this work we propose a novel method for simulating continuous rainfall sequences for a future warmer climate by conditioning parameters on their historical sensitivity with temperature. To demonstrate the proposed technique we use a one-dimensional Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulses model at two locations across Australia. The statistics used in the parameter estimation are conditioned on their historical sensitivity to average monthly temperature to simulate rainfall for a change in temperature. The results are validated by comparing the simulated rainfall against observations originating from differing temperatures and it is shown that the model captures the relative difference in the mean monthly rainfall and monthly maxima. Encouraged by these results we simulate rainfall for higher temperatures and capture expected changes to annual maxima and design temporal patterns for a warmer climate.

This study compares the nine methods for estimating the design rainfall for the current climate and the potential changes in the future for the Greater Sydney region. A Monte Carlo cross-validation procedure was employed to evaluate the skill of each method in estimating the design rainfall for the current climate. It was found that bias correcting the annual maximum rainfall based on the empirical distribution combined with regional frequency analysis produces the design rainfall closest to the observations. While regional frequency analysis was found to have limited impact on the design rainfall estimation for the current climate, it provides much more spatially coherent patterns of future change and it is recommended that regionalisation be used in all design rainfall impact assessments.

The Bias Correction Spatial Disaggregation (BCSD) method is a popular statistical downscaling and bias correction method developed to address this issue. The advantage of BCSD is its ability to reduce biases in the distribution of precipitation totals at the GCM scale and then introduce more realistic variability at finer scales than simpler spatial interpolation schemes. Although BCSD corrects biases at the GCM scale before disaggregation; at finer spatial scales biases are re-introduced by the assumptions made in the spatial disaggregation process. Our study focuses on this limitation of BCSD and proposes a rank-based approach that aims to reduce the spatial disaggregation bias especially for both low and high precipitation extremes. BCSD requires the specification of a multiplicative bias correction anomaly field that represents the ratio of the fine scale precipitation to the disaggregated precipitation. It is shown that there is significant temporal variation in the anomalies, which is masked when a mean anomaly field is used. This can be improved by modelling the anomalies in rank-space. Results from the application of the rank-BCSD procedure improve the match between the distributions of observed and downscaled precipitation at the fine scale compared to the original BCSD approach. Further improvements in the distribution are identified when a scaling correction to preserve mass in the disaggregation process is implemented. An assessment of the approach using a single GCM over Australia shows clear advantages especially in the simulation of particularly low and high downscaled precipitation amounts.", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Jannatun Nahar", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia" }, { "name": "Fiona Johnson", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia" }, { "name": "Ashish Sharma", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia" } ], "venue": "Journal of Hydrology", "year": 2017 }, "0vhHSizT": { "id": "0vhHSizT", "title": "An information theoretic alternative to model a natural system using observational information alone: Partial Information and Partial Weight", "abstract": "", "keywords": [], "authors": [ { "name": "ashish sharma", "org": "" }, { "name": "raj n mehrotra", "org": "" } ], "venue": "Water Resources Research", "year": 2014 }, "VMeTdyxj": { "id": "VMeTdyxj", "title": "Modelling and understanding the hierarchy in a mixture of experts using multiple catchment descriptors", "abstract": "", "keywords": [ "bayesian inference" ], "authors": [ { "name": "erwin jeremiah", "org": "" }, { "name": "lucy marshall", "org": "" }, { "name": "ashish sharma", "org": "" } ], "venue": "Journal of Hydrology", "year": 2013 }, "yxjh1PKi": { "id": "yxjh1PKi", "title": "A conditional disaggregation algorithm for generating fine time-scale rainfall data in a warmer climate", "abstract": "", "keywords": [ "downscaling" ], "authors": [ { "name": "seth westra", "org": "" }, { "name": "jason p evans", "org": "" }, { "name": "rajeshwar mehrotra", "org": "" }, { "name": "ashish sharma", "org": "" } ], "venue": "Journal of Hydrology", "year": 2013 }, "B3WZBdUU": { "id": "B3WZBdUU", "title": "Combining Climate Prediction Models Using Dynamic Weights", "abstract": "", "keywords": [ "publishing", "academic research", "commissioning" ], "authors": [ { "name": "shahadat chowdhury", "org": "" }, { "name": "ashish sharma", "org": "" } ], "venue": "", "year": 2006 }, "2YTVb6eB": { "id": "2YTVb6eB", "title": "Addressing Climatic Non-stationarity in the Assessment of Flood Risk", "abstract": "", "keywords": [ "enso", "el nino southern oscillation", "academic research", "commissioning", "streamflow", "climate", "flood", "publishing", "precipitation" ], "authors": [ { "name": "sjirk j westra", "org": "" }, { "name": "ian varley", "org": "" }, { "name": "a p sharma", "org": "" }, { "name": "peter s hill", "org": "" }, { "name": "phillip jordan", "org": "" }, { "name": "r j nathan", "org": "" }, { "name": "a r ladson", "org": "" } ], "venue": "", "year": 2010 }, "yHJpwwWB": { "id": "yHJpwwWB", "title": "A New Approach For Reducing The Uncertainty In Radar Rainfall Estimation Procedures", "abstract": "", "keywords": [ "weather radar" ], "authors": [ { "name": "siriluk chumchean", "org": "" }, { "name": "ashish sharma", "org": "" } ], "venue": "", "year": 2002 }, "bUamObV9": { "id": "bUamObV9", "title": "Sampling biases in CMIP5 decadal forecasts: Sampling Biases in CMIP5 Decadal Experiments", "abstract": "", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Dipayan Choudhury", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering; University of New South Wales; Kensington New South Wales Australia" }, { "name": "Ashish Sharma", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering; University of New South Wales; Kensington New South Wales Australia" }, { "name": "Alex Sen Gupta", "org": "ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science; University of New South Wales; Kensington New South Wales Australia" }, { "name": "Rajeshwar Mehrotra", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering; University of New South Wales; Kensington New South Wales Australia" }, { "name": "Bellie Sivakumar", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering; University of New South Wales; Kensington New South Wales Australia" }, { "name": "Bellie Sivakumar", "org": "School of Civil and Environmental Engineering; University of New South Wales; Kensington New South Wales Australia" } ], "venue": "Journal of Geophysical Research", "year": 2016 }, "icCtLchB": { "id": "icCtLchB", "title": "Defining the Z–R Relationship Using Gauge Rainfall with Coarse Temporal Resolution: Implications for Flood Forecasting", "abstract": "This paper demonstrates a procedure for deriving the Z–R relationship using poor temporal resolution gauge rainfall data and evaluates its impact on runoff forecasting in the upper Ping River Basin in Northern Thailand. The procedure is based on the use of a scaling logic to modify the Z–R relationship calibrated using daily (or other coarse) resolution ground rainfall data. This scaling procedure is demonstrated using daily gauge data and results in radar rainfall estimates that lead to improved runoff simulations and flood forecasts for the upper Ping River Basin compared with the case in which the daily (or raw) Z–R relationship is used or even when the daily gauge rainfall is used alone. This evaluation is based on hourly comparisons for the high rainfall season over a period of 3 years (2004–2006) at six point locations in the catchment. This scaling relationship has significant implications for flood modeling in most of the developing world that has weather radar coverage and a daily gauge network but a limited continuous ground rainfall measuring network.

An account of how the virtual microscope evolved from the need to visualize and manage satellite data for earth science applications is provided. The article also discusses important milestones beginning from the first WSI scanner designed by Bacus to the Food and Drug Administration approval of the first digital pathology system for primary diagnosis in surgical pathology. As pathology laboratories commit to going fully digitalize, the need has emerged to include WSIs into an enterprise-level vendor-neutral archive (VNA).

Apart from gluten-free flour, biscuits, cookies and snacks, product innovations like gluten-free beers are becoming very popular. Big data including online blogs, articles, and reviews have played a major role in increased sales of gluten-free foods. Thus, analysis of editorial and social media content becomes essential to understand the leading trends in gluten-free foods. This study provided deep insights about positive, negative and neutral sentiments related to gluten-free foods using the data from Perspectory Media Insights and Google Trends. This study also revealed that most of the consumers talked and expected product innovation in food sections like snacks, fast food (pizza, pasta and noodles) and desserts through comments on social and editorial media. Searches were divided into developed (e.g., U.S.A.) and developing nations (e.g., India) to get more details about the consumer preferences. This study would help manufacturers of gluten-free foods to develop food products according to the choices and preferences of consumers. The study is very unique in itself since it combines big data to niche food market of gluten-free foods to draw the valuable consumer preferences using online platforms.", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Jolly Masih", "org": "" }, { "name": "Willem Verbeke", "org": "" }, { "name": "Jonathan Deutsch", "org": "" }, { "name": "Ashish Sharma", "org": "" }, { "name": "Amita Sharma", "org": "" }, { "name": "Rajasekaran Rajkumar", "org": "" }, { "name": "Paviter Singh Matharu", "org": "" } ], "venue": "Agricultural sciences", "year": 2019 }, "yFWCiFn8": { "id": "56d89517dabfae2eee082826", "title": "Representation of Longer-term Variability in Daily Rainfall Generation", "abstract": "", "keywords": [ "publishing", "commissioning", "academic research" ], "authors": [ { "name": "timothy i harrold", "org": "" }, { "name": "ashish sharma", "org": "" }, { "name": "simon j sheather", "org": "" } ], "venue": "", "year": 2002 }, "09NWt6GF": { "id": "56d8700fdabfae2eeeed76db", "title": "Continuous Rainfall Simulation: A Nonparametric Alternative", "abstract": "", "keywords": [ "commissioning", "publishing", "academic research" ], "authors": [ { "name": "ashish sharma", "org": "" }, { "name": "sri srikanthan", "org": "" } ], "venue": "", "year": 2006 }, "DCCmoGLX": { "id": "5ce2d22aced107d4c64aa051", "title": "Effect of WC–Co content on the microstructure and properties of NiCrBSi composite coatings fabricated by supersonic plasma spraying", "abstract": "This paper presents our detailed investigation into the effect of the WC-Co content on the microstructure and properties of supersonic plasma sprayed NiCrBSi composite coatings on Inconel 718. The results showed that the NiCrBSi/WC-Co composite consisted predominantly of Ni, Ni3Fe, Ni3B, CrB, WC, Cr7C3, and WFeB2, in addition to lesser amounts of W2C, Cr3Ni2Si, and Co3B. The coating containing 15 wt % WC-Co exhibited the most compact microstructure with the lowest number of defects, as well as the lowest porosity (i.e., 0.6%). The mechanical properties of the as-sprayed coatings were significantly enhanced by the addition of WC-Co. Upon increasing the WC-Co content, the friction coefficients of the as-sprayed coatings increased from 0.59 to 0.74. The main wear mechanisms transformed from abrasive wear coupled with spallation for the NiCrBSi coatings with a low WC-Co content to adhesive wear and fatigue fracture for coatings with a medium WC-Co content, to a combination of brittle fracture failure and slight abrasive wear for coatings with a high WC-Co content. Furthermore, the coating with 15 wt% WC-Co registered a higher microhardness (910.6 HV) and adhesive strength (44.7 MPa), and a lower wear rate (8 x 10(-6) mm(3) /(N m)) than the other as-sprayed coatings, indicating that this was the optimal WC-Co content for this type of NiCrBSi-based composite coating on Inconel 718. The synergy between the compact structure, higher microhardness, and adhesive strength was considered responsible for the excellent wear resistance of the NiCrBSi-based composite coating with a WC-Co content of 15 wt%.

These impaired cognitive functions may be associated with alterations in resting state functional connectivity in schizophrenia. Therefore, the present study has been carried out to determine the resting state functional brain connectivity changes associated with schizophrenia in all the resting state networks (RSNs) using independent component analysis approach (ICA) and dual-regression based approach. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the aberrant resting-state functional connectivity patterns in schizophrenia patients as compared to healthy controls. Methods 35 schizophrenia patients and 31 healthy controls were recruited for the study and scanned by using resting state functional magnetic resonance (rsfMRI). Pre-processing and post-processing of the resting state functional data were performed using the FMRI Expert Analysis Tool (FEAT), which is a part of FSL (FMRIBu0027s Software Library, www.fmrib. ox.ac.uk/fsl). Results Our results showed significantly decreased functional connectivity in the regions of left fronto-parietal network, lateral visual network, medial visual network, motor network and default mode network (DMN) in schizophrenia patients as compared with healthy controls. Conclusion The overall findings suggest that the alterations in these resting state network connectivity may, in part, contribute to the impairments in cognitive functions associated with schizophrenia. These findings also suggest that aberrant resting state network connectivity contributes to regional functional pathology in schizophrenia and bears significance for core symptoms.", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Sadhana Singh", "org": "INMAS DRDO, NMR Res Ctr, Delhi, India" }, { "name": "M.

These changes may include impaired self-regulation, changes in tissues and organs. Aging also affects mood, physical status and social activity. There are adverse changes in cognitive behavior, perceived sensation and thinking processes. Regular physical activity can alleviate many health problems; yet, many older adults are inactive. Yoga is one of the scientific and popular lifestyle practice considered as the integration of mind, body and soul. Results of previous studies reported positive effects of yoga on multiple health outcomes in elderly. However, there is scarcity of scientific information where yoga's effect is examined on over well-being and on multiple health outcomes simultaneously in elderly. This protocol describes methods for a 12-week yoga-based intervention exploring the effects of yoga on well-being in physically inactive elderly living in community. Methods and analysis: This two group parallel single blind randomized controlled trial that will be conducted at a designated facility of R.D. Gardi Medical College, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, Central India. A 12-week 60-min yoga intervention three times weekly is designed. Comparison group participants will undergo a 60-min program comprising light exercise focusing on conventional stretching to improve mobility. After screening, 144 participants aged 60-80 years will be recruited. The primary outcome is subjective well-being. Secondary outcomes include mobility, fall risk, cognition, anxiety and depression, mood and stress, sleep quality, pain, physical activity/sedentary behavior and cardio-metabolic risk factors. Assessments will be conducted at baseline (0 week), after the intervention (12+1 week) and at follow-up (36+1 week). Intention-to-treat analyses with mixed linear modeling will be applied. Discussion: Through this trial, we aim to determine whether elderly people in the intervention group practicing yoga show more favorable primary (well-being) and secondary outcomes than those in the light exercise focusing on conventional stretching group. We assume that yoga may be practiced to maintain health, reduce particular symptoms commonly associated with skeletal pain, assist in pain relief and enhance well-being. We anticipate that practicing yoga will improve well-being and mental health and may lead to significant improvement in depression, pain and sleep quality.Ethics and dissemination: This study is approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of R.D.

In view of this, we present a new rhythm-based methodology for the point-of-care diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmia at a primary level. Such a system will reduce the workload of cardiologists significantly. The method begins by computing the RR-interval sequences from the electrocardiogram(ECG) signals. Then, the Fourier–Bessel (FB) expansion is used to obtain the intelligent series by converting the RR-interval sequences into more meaningful sequences that can characterize the underlying pathology of cardiac arrhythmia with a unique pattern. Ultimately, the obtained intelligent series are used as input to train the long short-term memory (LSTM) model for ECG classification. We have obtained an accuracy of 90.07% in classifying normal and the arrhythmia classes using MIT-BIH database. The results demonstrate that the proposed intelligent series can reveal remarkable differences between the normal and arrhythmia ECG signals. Thus, the proposed algorithm can be used as a primary screening tool for detecting cardiac arrhythmia. Potentially, the developed system can be used by paramedics in rural outreach programs with limited funding and expertise. Moreover, the use of single-lead and short-length ECG signals in the proposed system makes it a suitable candidate for applications that are intended for mobile and other hand-held or wearable devices.", "keywords": [ "LSTM", "ECG", "Arrhythmia", "Fourier–Bessel sequences" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Ashish Sharma", "org": "Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology Goa, Goa 403401, India" }, { "name": "Niranjan Garg", "org": "Nakshatra Heart and Multispeciality Hospital, Pipliyana Square, Indore, M.P., India" }, { "name": "Shivnarayan Patidar", "org": "Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of Technology Goa, Goa 403401, India" }, { "name": "Ru San Tan", "org": "Department of Cardiology, National Heart Centre Singapore, Singapore" }, { "name": "U Rajendra Acharya", "org": "Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore 599489, Singapore" } ], "venue": "Computers in Biology and Medicine", "year": 2020 }, "XUoac5XP": { "id": "5e5e190b93d709897ce49be2", "title": "A secret file sharing scheme with chaos based encryption", "abstract": "This paper proposes a secret sharing scheme with encryption using chaotic map.

To quantify the impacts of the changing surface boundary condition, a set of simulations with an identical lateral boundary condition but different extents of the Aral Sea were performed. It was found that the desiccation of the Aral Sea leads to more snow (and less rain) as desiccated winter surface is relatively much colder than water surface. In summer, desiccation led to substantial warming over the Aral Sea. These impacts were largely confined to within the area covered by the former Aral Sea and its immediate vicinity, although desiccation of the Sea also led to minor cooling over the greater Central Asia in winter. A contrasting set of simulations with an identical surface boundary condition but different lateral boundary conditions produced more identifiable changes in regional climate over the greater Central Asia which was characterized by a warming trend in both winter and summer. Simulations also showed that while the desiccation of the Aral Sea has significant impacts on the local climate over the Sea, the climate over the greater Central Asia on inter-decadal time scale was more strongly influenced by the continental or global-scale climate change on that time scale.", "keywords": [ "WRF model", "Regional climate", "Aral Sea", "Dynamic downscaling", "Lake-effect snow", "Temperate and precipitation", "Semi-arid region" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Ashish Sharma", "org": "Environmental Change Initiative (ECI),South Bend,USA" }, { "name": "Huei-Ping Huang", "org": "School for Engineering of Matter, Transport, and Energy,Arizona State University,Tempe,USA" }, { "name": "Peter Zavialov", "org": "P.P.

The difficulty in handling music resides in the fact that signals (events to be recognized) and noises (events to be ignored) are not uniquely defined. This is the main difference from studies of speech recognition under noisy environments. Musical instrument recognition is also important from an industrial standpoint. The recent development of digital audio and network technologies has enabled us to handle a tremendous number of musical pieces and therefore efficient music information retrieval (MIR) is required. Musical instrument recognition will serve as one of the key technologies for sophisticated MIR because the types of instruments played characterize musical pieces; some musical forms, in fact, are based on instruments, for example “piano sonata” and “string quartet.” Despite the importance of musical instrument recognition, studies have until recently mainly dealt with monophonic sounds. Although the number of studies dealing with polyphonic music has been increasing, their techniques have not yet achieved a sufficient level to be applied to MIR or other real applications. This paper investigates musical instrument recognition using two main approaches like MFCC and BPNN. BPNN have good learning rate in comparison to other classifiers.

The reasonable explanation for the observed bimodal pattern of surface ozone with enhanced NSO concentration during nighttime has to be transport processes, as the surface ozone production ceases at nighttime. Simultaneous measurements of O3 at multiple stations during the study period in Portugal suggest that horizontal advection alone cannot explain the observed NSO enhancement. Thus, detailed analysis of the atmospheric conditions, simulated with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, were performed to evaluate the atmospheric mechanisms responsible for NSO enhancement in the region. Simulations revealed that each event occurred as a result of one or the combination of different atmospheric processes such as, passage of a cold front followed by a subsidence zone; passage of a moving surface trough, with associated strong horizontal wind speed and vertical shear; combination of vertical and horizontal transport at the synoptic scale; formation of a low level jet with associated vertical mixing below the jet stream. The study confirmed that large-scale flow pattern resulting in enhanced vertical mixing in the nocturnal boundary layer, plays a key role in the NSO enhancement events, which frequently occur over Portugal during winter months.", "keywords": [ "NSO enhancement", "WRF model", "Vertical mixing", "Low-level jet" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Pavan S.

Diagnosis of TB fistula is a challenge despite of advances in diagnostic modalities and it depends upon both local and systemic clinical presentation. This prospective study aimed at to substantiate the importance of clinical diagnosis as well as medical management of tubercular fistula by antitubercular drugs. Methods and results 25 patients of fistula in ano suspected to be of tubercular origin underwent histopathology of fistulous tracks and an 8 week therapeutic trial of antitubercular treatment after getting an informed consent. Though biopsy showed positive evidence of tubercular pathology only in 52% cases, therapeutic trial showed improvement in local and systemic features in 23 (92%) cases. Of these 23 cases, 3 were cured after 18 months of anti tubercular treatment and 18 showed cure after 24 months of anti tubercular treatment while 2 cases withdrew from the study at 12 and 14 months respectively due to adverse drug reactions though their fistulous symptoms were relieved. Conclusion Meticulous clinical evaluation plays a vital role in diagnosis of tubercular fistula in addition to other diagnostic methods. Anti tubercular treatment is the mainstay of treatment in tubercular fistula with a minimum duration of 18–24 months owing to the recurrent and relapsing nature of disease.", "keywords": [ "Tuberculosis", "Fistula in ano", "Antitubercular treatment" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Manoranjan Sahu", "org": "Banaras Hindu University, Institute of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Ayurveda, Department of Shalya Tantra, Varanasi, India" }, { "name": "Jai Krishna Mishra", "org": "Banaras Hindu University, Institute of Medical Sciences, Department of Respiratory Diseases, Varanasi, India" }, { "name": "Ashish Sharma", "org": "Banaras Hindu University, Institute of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Ayurveda, Department of Shalya Tantra, Varanasi, India" }, { "name": "Uzma Fatmi", "org": "Banaras Hindu University, Institute of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Ayurveda, Department of Shalya Tantra, Varanasi, India" } ], "venue": "Journal of Coloproctology", "year": 2017 }, "FKyat8KI": { "id": "5c8922324895d9cbc6b26a77", "title": "A Deterministic GPSR Routing Protocol for MANET", "abstract": "In VANET, the communication between the vehicles takes place.

Understanding the nature and origin of the disorder in conjugated systems is a prerequisite to exploit the benefits of efficient intermolecular coupling. In this report, we utilize chirality as a marker to sensitively probe the nature of the disorder in thermodynamically assembled helical nanoaggregates of a chiral conjugated polymer poly[(9,9-di-n-octylfluoreny1-2,7-diy1)-alt-(benzothiadiazole)] (PFBT). Surprisingly, we find that one-handed intermolecular coupling in helical PFBT aggregates leads to differences in the decay pathways of left- and right-handed excitations. We attribute the emergence of this sensitivity to the disorder in the excitonic coupling of flexible, nonplanar polymer chain conformations, likely predominant at the edges of the aggregate.

Such a formulation simultaneously handles segmentation and boundary smoothing, which are usually two separate processes in most previous work.

Researchers therefore introduce some constraints into the objective function in order to avoid the trivial solution. However, this often causes additional branches. Fitting based on geometric distance can avoid additional branches, but it does not offer sufficient fitting precision. In this paper we present a novel algebraic B-spline curve fitting method which combines both geometric distance and algebraic distance. The method first generates an initial curve by a distance field fitting that takes geometric distance as the objective function. Then local topology-preserving calibrations based on algebraic distance are performed so that each calibration does not produce any additional branches. In this way, we obtain an additional branch free fitting result whose precision is close to or even better than that produced by purely algebraic distance based methods. The adopted precision criterion is the geometric distance error rather than the algebraic one. In addition, we find a calibration fatigue phenomenon about calibrating strategy and propose a hybrid mode to solve it.", "keywords": [ "fitting method", "novel algebraic b-spline curve", "geometric distance error", "geometric distance", "additional branch", "distance field fitting", "free algebraic b-spline curve", "curve reconstruction · curve fitting · algebraic b-spline curve · additional branch · geometric distance · distance field · local calibration", "objective function", "algebraic distance", "algebraic curve fitting", "trivial solution", "free algebra", "algebraic curve", "distance field", "curve fitting" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Mingxiao Hu", "org": "Zhejiang University, State Key Laboratory of CAD & CG, 310058, Hangzhou, China" }, { "name": "Jieqing Feng", "org": "Zhejiang University, State Key Laboratory of CAD & CG, 310058, Hangzhou, China" }, { "name": "Jianmin Zheng", "org": "Nanyang Technological University, School of Computer Engineering, 639798, Singapore, Republic of Singapore" } ], "venue": "The Visual Computer", "year": 2010 }, "iTaygx15": { "id": "iTaygx15", "title": "A benchmark for semantic image segmentation.", "abstract": "", "keywords": [ "bsd", "dataset", "benchmark testing", "semantics", "benchmark", "image segmentation", "evaluation" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Hui Li", "org": "" }, { "name": "Jianfei Cai", "org": "" }, { "name": "Nguyen Thi Nhat Anh", "org": "" }, { "name": "Jianmin Zheng", "org": "" } ], "venue": "ICME", "year": 2013 }, "SkC5rl99": { "id": "SkC5rl99", "title": "Example-guided anthropometric human body modeling.", "abstract": "This paper presents an example-guided, anthro-pometry-based modeling method for creating 3D human body models from users’ input of partial anthropometric measurements with a given example dataset. Rather than directly forming a mapping between the partial measurements and the body model, we first estimate a set of chosen 30 measurements from the input based on the example-oriented measurement analysis. We then create an initial 3D model using the example-oriented radial basis function model that maps the set of 30 measurements to the body shape space and is established based on the given examples. We finally refine the 3D model by constrained optimization to create the target body model. Our method has several advantages: (1) the created model is guaranteed to match the input measurements and reflects the shape characteristics of examples; (2) the input requirement is modest, which makes it useful in practice; and (3) the information of both the measurements and examples is fully utilized. We demonstrate the effectiveness, accuracy, flexibility and extensibility of the method by various experimental evaluations and a Kinect-based body customization application.", "keywords": [ "Human body modeling", " Anthropometry", " Examples", " Correlation analysis", " RBF interpolation", " Constrained optimization" ], "authors": [ { "name": "Yuzhe Zhang", "org": "School of Computer Engineering,Nanyang Technological University,Singapore,Singapore" }, { "name": "Jianmin Zheng", "org": "School of Computer Engineering,Nanyang Technological University,Singapore,Singapore" }, { "name": "Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann", "org": "Institute of Media Innovation,Nanyang Technological University,Singapore,Singapore" } ], "venue": "The Visual Computer: International Journal of Computer Graphics", "year": 2015 }, "kbHcNYto": { "id": "kbHcNYto", "title": "Modeling Caricature Expressions by 3D Blendshape and Dynamic Texture", "abstract": "The problem of deforming an artist-drawn caricature according to a given normal face expression is of interest in applications such as social media, animation and entertainment. This paper presents a solution to the problem, with an emphasis on enhancing the ability to create desired expressions and meanwhile preserve the identity exaggeration style of the caricature, which imposes challenges due to the complicated nature of caricatures. The key of our solution is a novel method to model caricature expression, which extends traditional 3DMM representation to caricature domain. The method consists of shape modelling and texture generation for caricatures. Geometric optimization is developed to create identity-preserving blendshapes for reconstructing accurate and stable geometric shape, and a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) is designed for generating dynamic textures under target expressions. The combination of both shape and texture components makes the non-trivial expressions of a caricature be effectively defined by the extension of the popular 3DMM representation and a caricature can thus be flexibly deformed into arbitrary expressions with good results visually in both shape and color spaces. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.\n\n", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Keyu Chen", "org": "University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China" }, { "name": "Jianmin Zheng", "org": "Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Singapore" }, { "name": "Jianfei Cai", "org": "Monash University, Melbourne, Australia" }, { "name": "Juyong Zhang", "org": "University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China" } ], "venue": "MM '20: The 28th ACM International Conference on Multimedia\n\t\t Seattle\n\t\t WA\n\t\t USA\n\t\t October, 2020", "year": 2020 }, "037GLGIy": { "id": "037GLGIy", "title": "Progressive sketching with instant previewing", "abstract": "", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Kai Wang", "org": "" }, { "name": "Jianmin Zheng", "org": "" }, { "name": "Hock Soon Seah", "org": "" } ], "venue": "Computers & Graphics", "year": 2019 }, "ch0QdgrB": { "id": "ch0QdgrB", "title": "Self-supervised cnn for unconstrained 3d facial performance capture from a single RGB-D camera", "abstract": "", "keywords": "", "authors": [ { "name": "Yudong Guo", "org": "" }, { "name": "Juyong Zhang", "org": "" }, { "name": "Lin Cai", "org": "" }, { "name": "Jianfei Cai", "org": "" }, { "name": "Jianmin Zheng", "org": "" } ], "venue": "arXiv preprint arXiv:1808.05323", "year": 2018 }, "PM36aZJ1": { "id": "PM36aZJ1", "title": "C 1 NURBS representations of G 1 composite rational Bézier curves", "abstract": "This paper is concerned with the re-representation of a G 1 composite rational Bézier curve.
