Green Paths is a prototype of route planning software for finding exposure-optimised routes for active travel. It incorporates external data on environmental exposures, including traffic noise levels, air quality, and street-level greenery into the street and paths network produced by the OpenStreetMap project. Written in the Python programming language, the software applies a novel environmental impedance function in the least cost path routing to find exposure-optimised routes. Routes for externally defined origin-destination pairs can be queried via a RESTful API. The API returns alternative routes equipped with rich exposure data. The published version of the software has been applied in population level environmental exposure assessment and in an end-user-oriented web-based route planner application designed for use in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area.

The use of information technology these days are very high. From business through education activities tend to use this technology most of the time. Information technology uses computer networks for integration and management data. To avoid business problems, the number of network devices installed requires a manageable network configuration for easier maintenance. Traditionally, each of network devices has to be manually configured by network administrators. This process takes time and inefficient. Network automation methods exist to overcome the repetitive process. Design model uses a web-based application for maintenance and automates networking tasks. In this research, the network automation system implemented and built a controller application that used REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) architecture and built by Django framework with Python programming language. The design modeled namely As-RaD System. The network devices used in this research are Cisco CSR1000V because it supports REST API communication to manage its network configuration and could be placed on the server either. The As-RaD System provides 75% faster performance than Paramiko and 92% than NAPALM.

AbstractSliding window analysis has been extensively applied in evolutionary biology. With the development of the high-throughput DNA sequencing of organisms at the population level, an application that is dedicated to visualizing population genetic test statistics at the genomic level is needed. We have developed the sliding window analysis viewer (SWAV), which is a web-based program that can be used to integrate, view and browse test statistics and perform genome annotation. In addition to browsing, SAV can mark, generate and customize statistical images and search by sequence alignment, position or gene name. These features facilitate the effectiveness of sliding window analysis. As an example application, yeast and silkworm resequencing data are analyzed with SWAV. The SWAV package, user manual and usage demo are available at http://swav.popgenetics.net.

AbstractEmerging multi-omics experiments pose new challenges for exploration of quantitative data sets. We present multiSLIDE, a web-based interactive tool for simultaneous heatmap visualization of interconnected molecular features in multi-omics data sets. multiSLIDE operates by keyword search for visualizing biologically connected molecular features, such as genes in pathways and Gene Ontologies, offering convenient functionalities to rearrange, filter, and cluster data sets on a web browser in a real time basis. Various built-in querying mechanisms make it adaptable to diverse omics types, and visualizations are fully customizable. We demonstrate the versatility of the tool through three example studies, each of which showcases its applicability to a wide range of multi-omics data sets, ability to visualize the links between molecules at different granularities of measurement units, and the interface to incorporate inter-molecular relationship from external data sources into the visualization. Online and standalone versions of multiSLIDE are available at https://github.com/soumitag/multiSLIDE.

Current single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) databases are limited to a narrow set of SNPs, which has led to a lack of interactivity between different databases, limited tools to analyze and manipulate the already existing data, and complexity in the graphical user interface. Here we introduce Pharmosome, a web-based, user-friendly and collective database for more than 30,000 human disease-related SNPs, with dynamic pipelines to explore SNPs associated with disease development, drug response and the pathways shared between different genes related to these SNPs. Pharmosome implements several tools to design primers to detect SNPs in large genomes and facilitates analysis of different SNPs to determine relationships between them by aligning sequences, constructing phylogenetic trees, and providing consensus sequences illustrating the connections between SNPs. Pharmosome was written in the Python programming language using the Django web framework in combination with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to receive user inputs, and process and export the sorted result to the interface. Pharmosome is available from: https://pharmosome.herokuapp.com/.

ABSTRACT Introduction/BackgroundThe ability to link datasets within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) databank provides researchers with a powerful tool to analyse multiple datasets. The ability to combine several datasets also has the adverse effect of potential identification of an individual. Further encrypting linkage fields at a project level limits the links to datasets specific to the project only. This presentation discusses the opensource web based administration tool that programmatically applies project encryption in a consistent and timely manner, logging administrator actions. Objectives1). Identify encryption methodology2). Programme encryption steps and log steps 3). Design and implement web based user administration tool ApproachUtilising existing Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) databank security, providing researchers with a view of their data, separating data linkage fields into a separate secure lookup table. Using Python programming language to automate the Structured Query Language (SQL) scripts required to accomplish this, as well as Python packages to interact with the databank and web based administration tool. ResultsProject encrypted views created for several projects and scores of datasets. Encrypted linkage fields unique to each project ensuring views across projects can not be linked either to each other or the original datasets. ConclusionEncryption process is programmable and administered through web tool.

Human activities impose novel pressures on amphibians, which are experiencing unprecedented global declines, yet population-level responses are poorly understood. A growing body of literature has revealed that noise is an anthropogenic stressor that impacts ecological processes spanning subcellular to ecosystem levels. These consequences can impose novel selective pressures on populations, yet whether populations can adapt to noise is unknown. We tested for adaptation to traffic noise, a widespread sensory ‘pollutant’. We collected eggs of wood frogs ( Rana sylvatica ) from populations from different traffic noise regimes, reared hatchlings under the same conditions, and tested frogs for differences in sublethal fitness-relevant effects of noise. We show that prolonged noise impaired production of antimicrobial peptides associated with defence against disease. Additionally, noise and origin site interacted to impact immune and stress responses. Noise exposure altered leucocyte production and increased baseline levels of the stress-relevant glucocorticoid, corticosterone, in frogs from quiet sites, but noise-legacy populations were unaffected. These results suggest noise-legacy populations have adapted to avoid fitness-relevant physiological costs of traffic noise. These findings advance our understanding of the consequences of novel soundscapes and reveal a pathway by which anthropogenic disturbance can enable adaptation to novel environments.

TransRoute: a web-based vehicle route planning application is proposed in this paper. This application leverages existing input-output (I/O) efficient implementations of shortest path algorithms (SPAs) to implement the proposed system that will fundamentally address the problems experienced in moving people, goods and services from one location to another. A number of SPAs are evaluated using landau notations. Main functionalities of the system will be implemented as a web-enabled geographic information system (GIS) application based on open-source technologies and object-oriented software development methodology using unified modeling language. Pilot implementation is done based on spatial data of three selected states in Nigeria, pulled from web-based mapping tools like Google Maps and Microsoft Bings respectively. In conclusion, the Dijkstra's algorithm implemented with double bucket dynamic data structure is selected for implementing the proposed route planning system, as past research efforts has proven that it is the fastest with run-time improvements from O(m + n/log C) to O(m) respectively. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i3.30

Path planning problem is a popular issues in urban transportation system. Road impedance is one of the key factors in route planning. According to road length and speed, road level, traffic lamp and intersection waiting time that affect drive efficiency. A new weighted road impedance model is proposed. To get the weights of each factor in road planning, factors which influence drive efficiency are tested with different combination. In the end, the impedance model is applied to real world network topology. The simulation results show the validity and accuracy of the model.
