Research on Response Decision Behavior of Construction Emergency Capacity Based on SD-SEM Model by WANG Jingwen

“…In order to study the impact of construction emergency capacity on emergency managers' response decision-making behavior,based on system dynamics model and structural equation model,this paper firstly conducts a questionnaire survey for the relevant personnel of the construction,then clarifies the path coefficients between the influencing factors of the construction emergency response capacity by processing the questionnaire survey data,finally establishes the system dynamics model to dynamically simulate the impact of the construction emergency response capacity on the rationality of response decision-making.The simulation results show that the emergency manager should report the danger within 2 hours after the accident,and start a coordinated emergency response plan with other project departments,which will help improve the on-site emergency response capacity,minimize casualties and economic losses,and enhance the rationality and accuracy of the response decision made by the emergency managers.…”

Preventing Foodborne Illness: E. coli O157:H7 by Keith R. Schneider, Renée M. Goodrich-Schneider, Alexandra Chang, Susanna Richardson

“…This enterohemorrhagic E. coli (or EHEC) strain is responsible for an estimated 63,153 cases of infection and 20 deaths in the United States annually and causes approximately $255 million in losses each year. E. coli are found everywhere in the environment but mostly occupy animal surfaces and digestive systems, making it important to thoroughly wash anything that comes into contact with these surfaces. …”

Smart prediction of the complaint hotspot problem in mobile network by Lin ZHU, Juan ZHAO, Yiting WANG, Junlan FENG, Gchao DEN

“…In telecom communication network,a hot customer complaint often affects hundreds even thousands of users’ service and leads to significant economic losses and bulk complaints.An approach was proposed to predict a customer complaint based on real-time user signaling data.Through analyzing the network business layer logic,30 key segments related to the user experience in the S1 interface data were selected.Further,one-hot features,statistical derived features,and differential features were extracted to classify user perceptions in detail.Considering the problems of noise data and unbalanced training samples,LightGBM was chosen to train the prediction model.Experiments are conducted to prove the effectiveness and efficiency of this proposal.As of today,this approach has been deployed in our daily business to locate the hot complaint problem scope as well as to report affected users and area.…”

A Threshold for Timing Applications of IGRs to Manage the Silverleaf Whitefly and Irregular Ripening on Tomato by David J. Schuster

“… The silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring, has been the major pest of tomatoes in South Florida since 1988 (Schuster et al. 1989). The insect causes losses indirectly through the transmission of plant viruses, including Tomato mottle virus and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus in Florida (Simone et al. 1990, Polston et al. 1999). …”

Research of Structure Tuning Resonance Method of Spur Gear Micro Crack Defect Detection System by Li Rui Qu Chongxia Shi Zhaoyao

“…The vibration signal generated by the micro-crack defects of vehicle gears is very weak，and it is difficult to be found and extracted in the background noise signal, which causes serious safety accidents and economic losses. Taking the spur gear as research object, innovatively applying the amplification effect of resonance on weak vibration signals, a structural tuning resonance method for detecting micro cracks defect in gears is proposed. …”

La folie de l’arc-en-ciel ou la longue errance de Bwila by Claudie Haxaire

“…The meaning of this ritual and the progression of the healing process can indeed be deduced from the Guro vision of the world and from the Guro notion of a person. However, the glosses given by exegetes must be examined in the light of an analysis of practices, in other words, the scenogram: staging of the actors taking part in the ritual, exchange of powerful objects between the actors, ritual acts and gestures. …”
