Triple Patterns Extraction from Unstructured Sentence Using Domain Specific Ontology
No full textTriplet extraction algorithms can assist the webquery service in order to translate the unstructuredinput query to ontology understanding query SPARQL.SPARQL query language has a graph based structureand can be built by using the triplets (i.e. subjects,predicates and object). However, end users enter theunstructured sentence (words, statements, etc.) as aninput when they wanted to search the requiredinformation on the web. So, it is needed to extract thetriplets (i.e. subjects, predicates and objects) from theinput query to build the ontology browsing querySPARQL. Although there are many triplet extractionalgorithms, either they can’t fully define all triplepatterns from the incoming query or they are timeconsuming process. The proposed algorithm presentedin this paper can handle this triplet’s incompletenessproblem and the aim of this system is to extract thespecific triplets from incoming query and to add thenecessary information for supporting SPARQL querygenerating process in a time-saving manner. Thisalgorithm mainly detects the noun form of words fromthe input query with the help of domain specificontology instead of using parser and takes the worstcase time complexity O(n2) to extract the triplets fromthe unstructured sentences
An analysis of the desire to make radiation measurements and to dialogue with experts among the residents of Tomioka town, Fukushima Prefecture: about the implementation of the co-expertise process
No full textNagasaki University (長崎大学)博士(医学)The article presents a contribution concerning the desire to make radiation measurements and to dialogue with experts among the residents of Tomioka town close to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan at the time of the lifting of the relocation order in 2017. Relying on data from a questionnaire conducted at the same time with approximately 8000 residents aged 20 years or older who lived in Tomioka before the accident, a logistic regression analysis was performed to identify retrospectively the factors having driven these desires. The results shed some light on the motivation of affected people to engage in the co-expertise process implemented in Tomioka by experts from Nagasaki University and local authorities. In essence there are two significant results: (i) the people who have the desire to make radiation measurements are those who are reluctant to eat foods produced in the town and who already had an experience of radiation measurement, (ii) the people who have the desire to dialogue with experts about radiation exposure and health effects are above 60 years old and are reluctant to eat foods produced in the town and to drink tap water. In both cases people can imagine living in Tomioka now and in the future. Perspectives regarding future research are envisaged.長崎大学学位論文 学位記番号:共博(医歯薬)甲第54号 学位授与年月日:令和7年9月19日Author: W. Thu Zar, H.

Design and Optimization of Aircraft Configuration for Minimum Drag
No full textThis paper presents a reliable and robust optimization for minimum drag of an aircraft at the conceptual design phase. Firstly, the conceptual design code was developed and existing Single Seat Aerobatic (SSA) aircraft was chosen to validate the reliability of developed code. The resulted data from the developed code showed good agreement with the existing data. Secondly, Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) optimizer was created and employed as a tool to explore possible aircraft configurations that are more efficient and less costly than an existing design. The optimized results gave lower Drag and better performance

TRUONG CHINH’S WORK NAMED AS “THE RESISTANCE WAR WILL WIN” – ITS CONTENT AND HISTORIC VALUES
No full textTruong Chinh was a theorist and General Secretary who contributes greatly to the history of Vietnam. During the course of revolutionary activities, he wrote numerous works, his most important work is known as “The resistance war will win”. This work is a deep evidence of the Party's resistance line, having a significant role in directing the entire Party and Vietnamese people to resolutely fight against our enemies by a unified way in order to bring the resistance to the complete victory. Therefore, within the scope of the article, the author focuses on analyzing the basic content of the work: from the ideology of identifying the nation’s enemies to devising a line of resistance against invading force, from which the great value of the work can be pointed out.

Comparison of the damage potential and yield loss of the rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola, on lowland and upland rice varieties from Myanmar
No full textIn Asia, the rice root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne graminicola, is an important pathogen of Asian rice (Oryza sativa) in most rice producing countries including Myanmar. In the first part of our study, the damage potential of M. graminicola on commonly cultivated newly released high-yielding lowland rice varieties and upland rice varieties (traditional, improved and aerobic), which are being grown in different regions in the summer-irrigated lowland and rainfed upland rice ecosystems in Myanmar, was investigated under screenhouse conditions. In the second part of our study, a field experiment was carried out in the Ayeyarwady River Delta, the major lowland rice producing area of Myanmar, to investigate the impact of M. graminicola on plant growth and yield of the same lowland rice varieties included in the screenhouse experiment in a naturally-infested farmer's field. None of the 15 lowland varieties and none of the nine upland varieties included in the screenhouse experiments was resistant to M. graminicola. Although differences in susceptibility were observed among the lowland and upland varieties, and between the two types (lowland and upland) of rice varieties, with an Mfeggs (multiplication factor of the second-stage juveniles without counting the eggs) ranging from 13.2 to 52.8 for the lowland varieties vs 39.8 to 108.4 for the upland varieties, all varieties included in our study can be considered as highly susceptible to M. graminicola when the nematode population densities are assessed at harvest. Also in the field experiment, all the 15 lowland varieties were susceptible to M. graminicola infection. This part of our study shows that upland rice varieties are more susceptible to M graminicola infection than lowland rice varieties. The percentage reduction in lowland and upland varieties was very similar in six out of the ten plant growth and yield-contributing traits measured. The highest differences in percentage reduction were observed for fresh root weight (41.0 vs 26.1% for the lowland and upland varieties, respectively), number of tillers per plant (29.1 vs 14.1%, respectively), percentage filled grains per plant (11.7 vs 0.8%, respectively) and filled grain weight per plant (34.7 vs 47.6 g, respectively). Within the two types of rice varieties significant differences in percentage reduction of plant growth traits between uninoculated and inoculated plants were observed among the rice varieties, so we suggest that the effect of M. graminicola infection on the different vegetative and reproductive plant growth stages of rice varieties is highly genotype-dependent and that no general conclusions can be made. In the screenhouse experiments, infection with M. graminicola caused on average a yield reduction with 31.1% in the lowland rice varieties vs 44.9% in the upland rice varieties, which indicates that in the upland varieties the higher nematode population densities per root unit (1 g) and per root system resulted in a higher yield loss compared with the lowland varieties. In the field experiment, carbofuran treatment resulted, on average, in a 16.5% increase in yield of the lowland rice varieties.sponsorship: This study was supported by a Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR-UOS) Ph.D. scholarship to P.P.

We conducted a seroepidemiologic survey of logging communities in Myanmar and found CCHFV exposure was common (9.8%) and exposure to wild animal blood and body fluids was associated with seropositivity
Stochastic Epidemic Model for COVID-19 Transmission under Intervention Strategies in China
No full textIn this paper, we discuss an EIQJR model with stochastic perturbation. First, a globally positive solution of the proposed model has been discussed. In addition, the global asymptotic stability and exponential mean-square stability of the disease-free equilibrium have been proven under suitable conditions for our model. This means that the disease will die over time. We investigate the asymptotic behavior around the endemic equilibrium of the deterministic model to show when the disease will prevail. Constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional method is crucial to our investigation. Parameter estimations and numerical simulations are performed to depict the transmission process of COVID-19 pandemic in China and to support analytical results
Copyright Detection System for Color Based Image Retrieval
No full textNowadays, a logo is the visual representation and forms the foundation of company and organization. Most of the companies want their logos are private and detect copyright rules. They do not want the logos of their companies duplicate. All the logos that have been registered are stored in an image database. This system intends to see if the new logo of an organization is very similar to any of the existing logos in the image database in order to avoid copyright infringements. Among image retrieval methods, color based image retrieval method is applied in this system. This system analyzes and implements three image retrieve methods to extract the desired image. These methods are K-D Tree, Vocabulary Tree and Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH). Based on implementation and analysis, the system compares running time and accuracy percentage between these three image retrieve methods
