The participants expressed the social awareness and empowerment of villagers in solving the community problems and devote for the benefits of their communities. In this research, it applied the participatory process by using rural constitutional development. The article showed the case study of two communities (Praichumpol and Bang Dong) in Phitsanulok province, the lower Northern part of Thailand. It focuses on the process of rural constitutional development from a formation of the rural constitution to the adoption of the rural constitution. The research results found that the rural constitution begins from the process of cooperation among local and community leaders, academicians, local organizations, civil society, and the community. Then, it is organizing a meeting for sharing and proposing ways to solve the communities’ problems. After that the public hearing process organized for drafting and revising the rural constitution of the community, before they adopted the rural constitution together. Therefore, the rural constitutional development contributed to the participatory process of community which is the foundation of community-based participatory democracy. The major factor of participation comes from social awareness in the community issues, cooperation among local and community leaders, and civil society, academicians and local organizations. The rural constitution reflected the aspires and demands of villagers in health, economic, environment, and social development.","PeriodicalId":19674,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86641545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a superhydrophobic-superoleophilic nano-silica film on ceramic membrane was constructed by a modified Stöber technique by using tetraethoxy-silane (TEOS) and fluoroalkyl silane (FAS). The colloidal nano-silica based silane sol coating solution was synthesized via co-hydrolysis and co-condensation of TEOS and FAS. Particle size distribution of the colloidal nano-silica based silane sol was evaluated using particle size analyzer as depicted. The contents of the relative elements of the colloidal nano-silica based silane sol were examined using energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Extent of superhydrophobicity-superoleophilicity was determined using the contact angle measurements. The surface wettability of superhydrophobicity-superoleophilicity was determined using the contact angle measurements. Also, the effects of grafting times and coating cycles on the wettability of the modified kaolin-based hollow fiber membrane were determined. The results revealed that the modified kaolin-based hollow fiber membrane exhibited oil contact of 0o and water contact angle of 160o and, demonstrating its considerable antiwetting applications like in oil-water filtration process. While, with an increase in grafting times and coating cycles, the wettability of the superhydrophobic-superoleophilic nano-silica film was enhanced due to increase in surface roughness provided by the hydrolysable groups on the surface of the ceramic membrane.

The potential applications include robot navigation, augmented reality, and image retrieval. However, the task is extremely demanding because of the variations in appearance in such dynamic setups (e.g., view-point, occlusion, illumination, scale, etc.). Recently, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has emerged as a powerful learning mechanism, able to learn deep higher-level features when provided with a comparatively big quantity of labeled training data. Here, we exploit the generic nature of CNN features for robust visual place recognition in the challenging COLD dataset. So, we employ the pre-trained CNNs (on the related tasks of object and scene classification) for deep feature extraction in the COLD images. We demonstrate that these off-the-shelf features, when combined with a simple linear SVM classifier, outperform their bag-of-features counterpart. Moreover, a simple combination scheme, combining the local bag-of-features and higher-level deep CNN features, produce outstanding results on the COLD dataset.","PeriodicalId":19674,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79807065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm returns the best search results to the user based on the webpage relevancy by calculating the outgoing links from each webpage. Although useful, the algorithm consumes a considerable amount of time as it needs to calculate the available webpages, which are also increasing in number over time. Moreover, the returned results by the algorithm are biased towards old webpages because they have the volume due to their lifetime, thus resulting in newly created webpages to have lower page ranks even though they have comparatively more relevant and useful information. To overcome these issues, this paper proposes an alternative hybrid PageRank algorithm based on optimized normalization technique and content-based approach. The proposed algorithm reduces the number of iterations required to calculate the page rank, hence improves the efficiency, by calculating the mean of all page rank values and normalizes them through the use of the mean. Through this approach, the algorithm is also able to determine the relevancy of webpages based on validity of links rather than popularity. These claims are demonstrated by an experiment conducted on the proposed algorithm using a dummy web structure consisting of 12 webpages. The results showed that the traditional PageRank algorithm has 74% more iterations than the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm returned a mean value of 1.00 compared to 1.32 for the traditional algorithm. These results confirm that the proposed algorithm saves a substantial amount of computing power while being more precise and not biased.","PeriodicalId":19674,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89040215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rating works on the bases of point allotment scheme for building’s operational and environmental features such as energy use efficiency, water use efficiency, sustainable material usage, and more. The selected structure is constructed by implementing standard building techniques to which Pakistan adheres, which never inculcate aspects of environment and energy reduction. The cumulative score of all LEED’s components after rating is 40 out of 110, which grants it the rank of certified. Where the building performs poorly can be attributed to the fact that there were no LEED’s Accredited Professionals involved in the design phase of the case study.

However, the precise effect of high fat diet on lung and kidney histopathology is limited. The present study examined the effects of high fat diet on rat histopathology. Female albino Wistar rats of four-week-old were fed either a basic diet or a high-fat diet (20% of fat). After one month of feeding, the histopathological analysis of kidney and lung was investigated. The kidney tissue of rats fed with high-fat diet presented several alterations including variable size of glomeruli, bleeding and congested blood vessels and deformations of several tubular structures compared with those that fed a basic diet. While the lung parenchyma of rats fed with high fat diet showed collapsed alveoli separated by thick inter-alveolar septa, infiltration of inflammatory cells and congested blood vessels were also observed. In conclusion, the high fat diet is responsible for detectable changes in kidney and lung in female rat and this type of diet may lead to renal and respiratory deformities as a result of its histopathological effects.","PeriodicalId":19674,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87756600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
