The Mai Makden sedimentary sequence: a reference point for the environmental evolution of the Highlands of Northern Ethiopia
No full textThis paper presents a geomorphologic-stratigraphic analysis of a travertine dammed lacustrine-swampy sedimentary sequence, composed of clay, peaty layers and phytoclastic travertine sands, deeply incised by the Mai Maikden river, on the Highlands of Tigray (Northern Ethiopia). Radiocarbon datings of peaty deposits allow us to establish that the travertine dams have developed at least between 7310 ± 90 yr B.P. and 5160 ± 80 yr B.P. In the upper part of the sequence, palaeochannels filled with travertine and limestone coarse gravels and blocks, indicate the activation of concentrated erosion on the surrounding slopes. Later, both the travertine dam and the lacustrine-swampy deposits were buried by alluvial and colluvial surrounding slopes. Later, both the travertine dam and the lacustrine-swamp deposits were buried by alluvial and colluvial sediments, still mixed with large amounts of organic matter, testifying to generalized slope erosion processes. The end of travertine deposition may be connected with a progressive reduction of vegetation cover and the subsequent decrease of CO2 in groundwater. The occurrence of the latter phenomena may be related to the onset of drier climatic conditions even though the finding of a large prehistoric settlement in the area, also indicates some influence of human impact

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in rat forebrain that bind ¹⁸F-nifene: relating PET imaging, autoradiography, and behavior
No full textNicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain are important for cognitive function; however, their specific role in relevant brain regions remains unclear. In this study, we used the novel compound ¹⁸F-nifene to examine the distribution of nAChRs in the rat forebrain, and for individual animals related the results to behavioral performance on an auditory-cognitive task. We first show negligible binding of ¹⁸F-nifene in mice lacking the β2 nAChR subunit, consistent with previous findings that ¹⁸F-nifene binds to α4β2* nAChRs. We then examined the distribution of ¹⁸F-nifene in rat using three methods: in vivo PET, ex vivo PET and autoradiography. Generally, ¹⁸F-nifene labeled forebrain regions known to contain nAChRs, and the three methods produced similar relative binding among regions. Importantly, ¹⁸F-nifene also labeled some white matter (myelinated axon) tracts, most prominently in the temporal subcortical region that contains the auditory thalamocortical pathway. Finally, we related ¹⁸F-nifene binding in several forebrain regions to each animal's performance on an auditory-cued, active avoidance task. The strongest correlations with performance after 14 days training were found for ¹⁸F-nifene binding in the temporal subcortical white matter, subiculum, and medial frontal cortex (correlation coefficients, r > 0.8); there was no correlation with binding in the auditory thalamus or auditory cortex. These findings suggest that individual performance is linked to nicotinic functions in specific brain regions, and further support a role for nAChRs in sensory-cognitive function.Peer reviewedAuthor's Manuscript is also available open access in PubMed Central: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3292694.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Bieszczad, K.

Intelligent cyber-security system for iot-aided drones using voting classifier
No full textDevelopments in drones have opened new trends and opportunities in different fields, particularly in small drones. Drones provide interlocation services for navigation, and this interlink is provided by the Internet of Things (IoT). However, architectural issues make drone networks vulnerable to privacy and security threats. It is critical to provide a safe and secure network to acquire desired performance. Small drones are finding new paths for progress in the civil and defense industries, but also posing new challenges for security and privacy as well. The basic design of the small drone requires a modification in its data transformation and data privacy mechanisms, and it is not yet fulfilling domain requirements. This paper aims to investigate recent privacy and security trends that are affecting the Internet of Drones (IoD). This study also highlights the need for a safe and secure drone network that is free from interceptions and intrusions. The proposed framework mitigates the cyber security threats by employing intelligent machine learning models in the design of IoT-aided drones by making them secure and adaptable. Finally, the proposed model is evaluated on a benchmark dataset and shows robust results
Automated approach to predict cerebral stroke based on fuzzy inference and convolutional neural network
No full textCerebral stroke indicates a neurological impairment caused by a localized injury to the central nervous system resulting from a diminished blood supply to the brain. Today, stroke stands as a global menace linked to the premature mortality of millions of people globally. Consequently, it is crucial to simulate how different risk factors impact the incidence of strokes and artificial intelligence is emerging as a suitable tool for achieving this goal. This study aims to construct dependable learning prediction models for stroke illness. The proposed approach can handle the inherent difficulty posed by a significant imbalance in classes, where the number of stroke patients is notably smaller compared to the healthy class. The study also provides a model based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system logic and convolutional neural networks (CNN) for accurate stroke prediction. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system logic approach is adopted as it incorporates the capabilities of artificial intelligence and fuzzy inference, thereby having the potential to yield superior outcomes. The efficacy of the suggested method is extensively analyzed involving machine and deep learning classifiers and considering metrics relevant to encompass both the capacity for generalization and the accuracy in predicting. The proposed fuzzy-CNN model outperforms with the most considerable accuracy of 98.97% when using the original dataset, resampled dataset, and data imputation. K-fold cross-validation also shows superior results with an average accuracy of 99.6% for five folds
