Service Oriented

Highly developed economies are based on the knowledge society. A variety of software tools are used in almost every aspect of human life. Service-oriented architectures are limited to corporate-related business solutions. This chapter proposes a novel approach aimed to overcome the differences between real life services and software services. Using the design approaches for the current service-oriented architecture, a solution that can be implemented in open source systems has been proposed. As a result, a new approach to creating an agent for service composition is introduced. The agent itself is created by service composition too. The proposed approach might facilitate the research and development of Web services, service-oriented architectures, and intelligent agents.

Novel Approach

Forests provide various important things to human life. Fire is one of the main disasters in the world. Nowadays, the forest fire incidences endanger the ecosystem and destroy the native flora and fauna. This affects individual life, community and wildlife. Thus, it is essential to monitor and protect the forests and their assets. Nowadays, image processing outputs a lot of required information and measures for the implementation of advanced forest fire-fighting strategies. This work addresses a new color image segmentation method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and Gabor filter responses. Our method introduces a new superpixels extraction strategy that takes full account of two objectives: regional consistency and robustness to added noises. The novel approach is tested on various color images. Extensive experiments show that our method obviously outperforms existing segmentation variants on real and synthetic images of fire forest scenes, and also achieves outstanding performance on other popular benchmarked images (e.g., BSDS, MRSC). The merits of our proposed approach are that it is not sensitive to added noises and that the segmentation performance is higher with images of nonhomogeneous regions.

Maintenance Problem

Cloned code might exacerbate a system maintenance problem, so it is important to remove duplicate code to improve system performance. In web development, script code can often be duplicated as a unit of a script function. Previous research for detecting similar script functions forecasted candidates of similar script functions based on the name of the function and classified the detected candidates into four similarity levels by comparing factors contained within the script functions. There are two key issues that need to be considered to detect similar script functions when using that method. One was that a pair of similar script functions needs to have the same name to be detected. The other was that some modifications particularly such as adding or removing calling statements were not identified after detecting. Adding or removing calling statements might prevent identification for duplicate script function. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to detect similar script functions that can determine the similarity of a script function by evaluating the structural similarity of function code and the calling structure. The evaluation for detecting the structural similarity of code and the calling structure is performed based on a similarity metric, FSIM, which we have defined. We showed the usefulness of FSIM by applying it to three open source projects.

Evolution Of Life

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatsqias the core of the human life systems. Starting with a hypothetical correlation between TCMqiand the entropy theory, we address in this article a holistic model for evaluating and unveiling the rule of TCM life systems. Several new concepts such as acquired life entropy (ALE), acquired life entropy flow (ALEF) and acquired life entropy production (ALEP) are propounded to interpret TCM life systems. Using the entropy theory, mathematical models are established for ALE, ALEF and ALEP, which reflect the evolution of life systems. Some criteria are given on physiological activities and pathological changes of the body in different stages of life. Moreover, a real data-based simulation shows life entropies of the human body with different ages, Cold and Hot constitutions and in different seasons in North China are coincided with the manifestations ofqias well as the life evolution in TCM descriptions. Especially, based on the comparative and quantitative analysis, the entropy-based model can nicely describe the evolution of life entropies in Cold and Hot individuals thereby fitting theYin–Yangtheory in TCM. Thus, this work establishes a novel approach to interpret the fundamental principles in TCM, and provides an alternative understanding for the complex life systems.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to offer a roadmap for work on the ethical and societal implications of algorithms and AI. Based on an analysis of the social, technical and regulatory challenges posed by algorithmic systems in Korea, this work conducts socioecological evaluations of the governance of algorithmic transparency and accountability. Design/methodology/approach This paper analyzes algorithm design and development from critical socioecological angles: social, technological, cultural and industrial phenomena that represent the strategic interaction among people, technology and society, touching on sensitive issues of a legal, a cultural and an ethical nature. Findings Algorithm technologies are a part of a social ecosystem, and its development should be based on user interests and rights within a social and cultural milieu. An algorithm represents an interrelated, multilayered ecosystem of networks, protocols, applications, services, practices and users. Practical implications Value-sensitive algorithm design is proposed as a novel approach for designing algorithms. As algorithms have become a constitutive technology that shapes human life, it is essential to be aware of the value-ladenness of algorithm development. Human values and social issues can be reflected in an algorithm design. Originality/value The arguments in this study help ensure the legitimacy and effectiveness of algorithms. This study provides insight into the challenges and opportunities of algorithms through the lens of a socioecological analysis: political discourse, social dynamics and technological choices inherent in the development of algorithm-based ecology.

 Recent growth in technology makes our life faster and easier. This development in technologies leads to enhance the traffic hazards. In this paper, Internet of Things based accident prevention and detection system is proposed to deduce accidents and save human life. The vehicle performance has been continuously monitored for safety purposes. This technique is annoying to maintain speed balance to avoid accident and provide safety to the driver. Hence, a novel approach is proposed to avoid accidents and save the victims while accidents occur. Sensors are exploited to give alarm 'ON' when distance between two vehicles is too short. If accident happens, then the camera is automatically turned on and captures the images around 180 degree angles. This emergency alert information including the location is transferred to nearest police station, ambulance service and relatives through GSM modem. The major component of the project includes a Arduino, motion sensor, touch sensors, relay and GSM modem.

The conclusion makes a case for the foregoing chapters’ theological work on human animality as a novel approach to ecological theology. The human relationship to the animality internal to human life shapes human relationships to nonhuman animals and the natural world in a determinative way. Where humanity is defined over against animality and performed in each human life through efforts to transcend one’s own animality—as the bulk of the Christian tradition would have it—then humanity is ill equipped to life in ecological relationships of mutuality and responsibility with fellow creatures. A theology whose account of human life is centered on human animality is one necessary piece of an adequate response to ecological degradation.

IgA nephropathy is the most common glomerulonephritis worldwide. This disease has a tremendous economic impact because renal replacement therapy is expensive and hard-to-reach. It also represents a social problem because children and young adults in their second and third decades of life are affected by the IgA nephropathy, and it is the most active period of human life with highest work productivity. Many retrospective studies have shown that 40% of biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy patients develop end-stage kidney disease in 20 years after their biopsy disease. The biomarker research in IgA nephropathy has experienced a major splash in recent years with great number of scientific reports. Individual biomarkers often lack sensitivity and specificity with impairment of disease specificity as a consequence. The review describes a novel approach based on a panel of biomarkers for pathogenic process of IgA nephropathy. Integration of genetic, clinical, and bioinformatics data sets could optimize the specific value of each biomarker in a multimarker panel. This is a inspirational and promising approach for precision medicine and personalized therapy in IgA nephropathy. Half a century into the original description of IgA nephropathy, there is still no specific therapy for this condition Although the scarcity in treatment advances could be related to the disease’s complex pathogenesis. The evolution of different therapeutic approaches is reviewed over time and resulted in the 2012 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Clinical Practice Guideline for Glomerulonephritis that presently is being updated, and provide collation of recent data on various forms of immunosuppressive agents. Existing approaches to treatment of IgA nephropathy are described with focus primarily on innovative therapeutic strategies currently being evaluated in IgA nephropathy that were not discussed in the 2012 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes Clinical Practice Guidelines.
