Forecasting tourist in-flow in South East Asia: A case of Singapore by Manoj Kumar, Seema Sharma

“…For Singapore, tourism is one of the major sources of foreign exchange earnings since it has no natural resources to support its economy. Therefore, forecasting of tourist arrivals in the country becomes very important for the reason that the forecasting may help tourism related service industries (e.g. airlines, hotels, shopping malls, transporters and catering services, etc.) to plan and prepare their resources and activities in an optimal way. …”

Study for Urban Dike-pond System on Non-point Pollution Control in Hydro-fluctuation Belt of the Hanfeng Lake by ZHANG Xin, CHEN Yaxian, ZHENG Yarong, XIAO Xing, WANG Yan, SUN Rong

“…Based on the wetland system of urban landscape dike-pond,and enhanced biological treatment of dike-pond by planting a variety of aquatic plants,this paper discusses the ability of multi-pond wetland system to reduce nitrogen,phosphorus,COD and other pollutants in urban surface runoff,and analyzes the concentration change of nitrogen,phosphorus,COD and other pollutants in urban surface along the lake.The results show that:Before and after rain,the multi-pond system has a better treatment effect on urban surface runoff;the larger the area and the higher the vegetation coverage,the better the treatment effect on surface runoff sewage.Both before and after the rain,artificially designed dike-ponds have higher pollutant removal efficiency than the natural dike-ponds.In overall,the wetland systems of urban landscape dike-pond have better treatment effect on surface runoff,the removal efficiency after rain is higher than that before rain,and TN,TP,NH⁺₄-N,COD reduces along the lake.…”

Indoor terminal localization technology using a single access point based on distributed MIMO networks by Ze LI, Jian ZOU, Zeng HUANG, Zengshan TIAN

“…Regarding the terminal localization in distributed MIMO networks, an indoor terminal localization system using a single access point (AP) based on distributed MIMO networks was proposed.Firstly, the AP’s antennas were arranged at different locations in the room, and the compressed sensing algorithm was used to estimate the angle of departure (AoD) and time of flight (ToF) of the receiving path on each antenna of the terminal device.Secondly, AoDs and ToFs of multiple paths were combined to establish a nonlinear localization model, and an improved Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used to solve the problem.Then, theoretical analysis has been examined for the factors that influence the localization error, and the criteria for the antenna layout was provided.Finally, electromagnetic simulation software was used to build simulation environment and conducted the simulation for system verification.Moreover, software-defined radio platforms were used to conduct practical tests.Both simulation and experimental results indicate that the performance of the proposed localization system is superior to existing single-AP localization systems based on natural multipath.…”

Rutin Alleviates Zearalenone-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Mitochondrial Pathway Apoptosis in Porcine Endometrial Stromal Cells by Promoting the Expression of Nrf2 by Chuangjiang Chen, Chenlong Wang, Hui Jiang, Mengya Wang, Sajid Ur Rahman, Changjiang Chen, Hongyan Ding, Chang Zhao, Wanyue Huang, Xichun Wang

“…Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin commonly found in moldy cereals and has a range of toxic effects that have seriously affected animal husbandry. Rutin, a natural flavonoid with antioxidant activities, has been studied for its potential involvement in mitigating ZEA-induced apoptosis in porcine endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) and its potential molecular mechanism, particularly concerning the expression of Nrf2. …”
