Complete Ectopia Cordis: A Case Report and Literature Review by Simon Pius, Halima Abubakar Ibrahim, Mustapha Bello, Mohammed Bashir Tahir

“…The index case was delivered to uneducated rural family and admitted at 3 days of life and survived for seven days, even though most literatures state that majority died within four days even with surgery. So, in view of this, we presented this case report to deliberately draw the attention of paediatrician/obstetrician to the fact that even though this condition is rare, proactive search and diagnosis should be made and early treatment should be instituted, so that such a child may be salvaged.…”

Influence of Water Level and Rainfall on Water Quality in Tidal Reach Based on SWMM—Taking Wufuwei District in Foshan as an Example by LI Minghui, HOU Jingming, WANG Tian, LUAN Guangxue, YIN Yalun, SHEN Tengfei, ZHANG Rongbin, FAN Chao, SHEN Jian

“…With the increase in rainfall, the water quality deteriorates due to erosion, but the average concentration of rainfall runoff decreases, while the average concentration of rainfall runoff increases during heavy rainfall. In the four major streams, the discharge of runoff and pollutant load from Beihewei Stream is the highest, while Chongyuan Stream is the lowest. …”

Cell-phone origin identification based on spectral features of device self-noise by Anshan PEI, Rangding WANG, Diqun YAN

“…With the widespread availability of cell-phone recording devices and the availability of various powerful and easy-to-use digital media editing software,source cell-phone identification has become a hot topic in multimedia forensics.A novel cell-phone identification method was proposed based on the recorded speech.Firstly,device self-noise (DSN) was considered as the fingerprint of the cell-phone and estimated from the silent segments of the speech.Then,the mean of the noise's spectrum was extracted as the identification.Principal components analysis (PCA) was applied to reduce the feature dimension.Support vector machine (SVM) was adopted as the classifier to determine the source of the detecting speech.Twenty-four popular models of the cell-phones were evaluated in the experiment.The experimental results show that the average identification accuracy and recall of the method can reach up to 99.24% and demonstrate that the self-noise feature has more superior performance than the MFCC feature.…”

Studies on the Effects of Interphase Heat Exchange during Thermal Explosion in a Combustible Dusty Gas with General Arrhenius Reaction-Rate Laws by K. S. Adegbie, F. I. Alao

“…The objective of the study is to examine the effects of interphase heat exchange between the gas and solid particles on (i) ignition of reacting gas, (ii) accumulation of heat by the solid particles during combustion process (iii) evaporation of the liquid fuel droplets, and (iv) consumption of reacting gas concentration. The equations governing the physical model with realistic assumptions are stated and nondimensionalised leading to an intractable system of first-order coupled nonlinear differential equations, which is not amenable to exact methods of solution. …”

Intelligent and open new generation telecom service architecture and its key technologies by Jianxin LIAO, Hao ZHANG, Tong XU, Lingfei NI, Jingyu WANG, Wenfu WU

“…For complex heterogeneous networks,IOTSA (intelligent and open telecom service architecture) based on the comprehensive decoupling of service systems was proposed,as well as core mechanisms such as intelligent scheduling of network resources,dynamic service orchestration and combination,and intelligent monitoring of abnormal behavior.Through the establishment of a three-level interface and four-layer capability opening architecture,multi-granular capability opening and comprehensive resource sharing were realized,which met the needs of multiple scenarios.Key technologies such as low-risk and low-cost rapid decoupling of service systems and dynamic coordination of multiple services were proposed.These achievements had formed a series of international standards and had been applied on a large scale on existing networks.By providing a large number of ultra-fine-grained capabilities,396 atomic capabilities,and flexible composite capabilities,the development of operator and third-party services and applications were strongly supported.…”
