    Abstract: Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem and landscape management, restoration, biogeography and earth system modelling. Since its foundation in 2007, the TRY database of plant traits has grown continuously. It now provides unprecedented data coverage under an open access data policy and is the main plant trait database used by the research community worldwide. Increasingly, the TRY database also supports new frontiers of trait‐based plant research, including the identification of data gaps and the subsequent mobilization or measurement of new data. To support this development, in this article we evaluate the extent of the trait data compiled in TRY and analyse emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness. Best species coverage is achieved for categorical traits—almost complete coverage for ‘plant growth form’. However, most traits relevant for ecology and vegetation modelling are characterized by continuous intraspecific variation and trait–environmental relationships. These traits have to be measured on individual plants in their respective environment. Despite unprecedented data coverage, we observe a humbling lack of completeness and representativeness of these continuous traits in many aspects. We, therefore, conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements. This can only be achieved in collaboration with other initiatives.

    Abstract: Optical and thermo‐physical properties of the nanofluids play a major role in the absorption of solar energy. In the present study, photo‐thermal energy conversion of low concentration Al 2 O 3 /Deionised water (DI) water and CuO/DI water nanofluids in solar thermal collector is experimentally investigated. Properties of 50,100,150, and 200 ppm concentrations of nanofluids are reported. The absorbance results in the visible range indicate that CuO nanofluid of 200 ppm concentration is nearly three times higher compared to Al 2 O 3 nanofluid. The extinction coefficient, optical energy band gap, and photoluminescence obtained from the absorbance data are also reported. Surfactant free nanofluids are used, and the thermal conductivity measurements show a negligible enhancement for both the nanofluids. Maximum receiver temperatures of 89 and 72°C are found with CuO and Al 2 O 3 nanofluids, respectively, for the maximum concentration. A maximum receiver efficiency of 34.89% is obtained for CuO nanofluids.

    Abstract: The role of gender and menopause in obstructive sleep apnoea is well known; however, no study has reported the impact of gender on the clinical presentation and the nocturnal respiratory events in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. Therefore, this study prospectively evaluated differences in the clinical characteristics of women and men with obesity hypoventilation syndrome in a large cohort of patients with obstructive sleep apnoea. During the study period, a total of 1973 patients were referred to the sleep clinic with clinical suspicion of obstructive sleep apnoea. All patients underwent overnight polysomnography, during which time spirometry, arterial blood samples and thyroid tests were routinely obtained. Among 1973 consecutive patients, 1693 (617 women) were diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea, among whom 144 suffered from obesity hypoventilation syndrome (96 women). The prevalence of obesity hypoventilation syndrome among women and men was 15.6% and 4.5%, respectively ( P   〈  0.001). Women with obesity hypoventilation syndrome were significantly older than men with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (61.5 ± 11.9 years versus 49.1 ± 12.5 years, P   〈  0.001). Although there were no significant differences between genders regarding symptoms, body mass index, spirometric data or daytime Pa CO 2 , women with obesity hypoventilation syndrome suffered significantly more from hypertension, diabetes and hypothyroidism. The prevalence of obesity hypoventilation syndrome was higher in post‐menopausal (21%) compared with pre‐menopausal (5.3%) women ( P   〈  0001). HCO 3 and duration of SpO 2 〈 90% were the only independent predictors of obesity hypoventilation syndrome. In conclusion, this study reported that among subjects referred to the sleep disorders clinic for evaluation of obstructive sleep apnoea, obesity hypoventilation syndrome is more prevalent in women than men, and that women with obesity hypoventilation syndrome suffer from significantly more co‐morbidities. Post‐menopausal women with obstructive sleep apnoea have the highest prevalence of obesity hypoventilation syndrome.

    Abstract: The Raman and mid‐range infrared spectra have been measured on natural limestone and dolomite minerals. The carbonate minerals show four prominent absorption bands in the regions 1450–1420, 890–870, 720–700 and 1000–1100 cm −1 . The positions of the wavenumbers are unique for each carbonate mineral and are thus diagnostic of their mineralogy. Calcite and dolomite groups are characterized by the Raman wavenumbers at 288 and 309 cm −1 and the infrared absorption bands at 712 and 728 cm −1 , respectively. The principal wavenumber at 1092 cm −1 in the limestone spectra is accompanied by two satellites with values of 1062 and 1075 cm −1 . The observed non‐split peaks ν 2 and ν 4 in the infrared spectra of limestone indicate the presence of calcite structure in all these samples. The principal reflections occurring at the d ‐spacings, 3.03482, 1.91658 and 1.87962 Å, confirm the presence of calcite structure in limestone minerals. The principal reflections occurring at the d ‐spacings, 3.037, 1.79179 and 2.19750 Å, confirm the existence of dolomite structure in the dolomite minerals. The calculated lattice parameters for the limestone minerals are: a = 4.9781 Å, c = 17.1188 Å and V = 367.392(Å) 3 and the corresponding values for the dolomite minerals are: a = 4.8247 Å, c = 15.9868 Å and V = 322.28 (Å) 3 .

    Abstract: The Global Mobility Network (GLOMONET) is rapidly becoming important as well as a popular feature in today's high‐performance network. The legal mobile users enjoy life using the ubiquitous services via GLOMONET. However, because of the broadcast nature of the wireless channel, providing user authentication along with the privacy and anonymity of the users in GLOMONET is indeed a challenging task. In this article, we come up with a secure and expeditious mobile communication environment using symmetric key cryptosystem to ensure mobile users' anonymity and privacy against eavesdroppers and backward/forward secrecy of the session key. Our scheme can also protect numerous security threats, like man‐in‐the‐middle attack, known session key attack, lost smartcard attack, and forgery attack. Furthermore, we put forward a new technique named as “friendly foreign agent policy,” where many foreign agents can make different groups among themselves and perform important responsibilities to authenticate a legitimate mobile user without interfering his or her home agent even though the mobile user moves to a new location, covered by a new foreign agent (belongs to the same group). Security and performance analyses show that the proposed scheme is secure and more efficient as compared with other competitive schemes for GLOMONET environments.

    Abstract: Recustomize finite impulse response (RFIR) filter is designed to achieve lesser power consume, cost, area, and higher speed of system operation. This is used to remove the noises from the image and signal. Previously, several filters were designed for removing noises, but that filters consume more area, power, cost, and delay and did not provide accurate results and the error rate was increased. To overcome these issues, this work is proposed. In this work, the Recustomize finite impulse response (RFIR) filter is designed using truncation‐based scalable rounding approximate multiplier (TOSAM) and error reduced carry prediction approximate adder (ERCPAA) for image processing application. Here, TOSAM‐ERCPAA is used to speed up the filter design with less area and less power consumption. The proposed ERCPAA adder is divided into three blocks, such as carry prediction logic, approximate full adder cells array, constant truncation along error lessening logic, which can reduce the power and area. The proposed RFIR‐ TOSAM‐ERCPAA filter is designed and executed in Verilog programming language and the simulation is done in Xilinx ISE 14.5 design tools.

    Abstract: Image registration is one of the image processing techniques that align more than two images of a similar scene captured under different perspectives at different intervals of time. In demographical research, the image registration process assists to study differences in the structure of brain tissue. Due to enhanced technological advancements, numerous image registration methods have been established. On the other hand, these traditional techniques face few real‐time challenges while processing huge input data. In addition to this, uncertainty analysis becomes a crucial step in medical applications which is utilized to judge whether the registration result is valuable or not. The high percentage of uncertainty than the threshold makes the registration result abnormal. Therefore, to conquer such circumstances, this research work proposed a modified spine‐kernelled chirplet transform (MCST) based optimal Self‐Adaptive Deep Neural Network (SADNN) which focuses mainly on enhancing registration accuracy by reducing the uncertainties of registration results. The experimental analysis is conducted and from the evaluation results, the proposed MCST‐based optimal SADNN technique outperforms existing techniques in terms of accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, F ‐measure, and DICE values. Moreover, the proposed method achieves 97.2% accuracy for accurate image registration.

    Abstract: Purification of peptides offers unique challenges with respect to obtaining the desired process yield and selectivity. Lethal Toxin Neutralizing Factor (LTNF) is a peptide that is known to neutralize snake venom in mice when the peptide is preincubated with the venom prior to intravenous injection. A process for producing highly purified recombinant LTNF has been developed. The process has been modelled in SuperPro designer using laboratory data for a plant capable of producing 10 kg of purified rLTNF. Economic analysis has been performed for manufacturing 3 ton of purified rLTNF RESULTS The process developed produces peptide in the form of concatemer that has been specifically designed to accumulate as insoluble inclusion bodies (IB) during expression in E. coli . A cation exchange chromatography step has been developed to capture the rLTNF concatemer at 140 g L ‐1 dynamic binding capacity. Further, the purified concatemer is cleaved completely into monomeric rLTNF using alpha‐chymotrypsin enzyme. Finally, reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography has been designed to purify rLTNF with a recovery of more than 90% and purity greater than 98%. The overall process recovery is 78±2% resulting in 3.36 g of purified product per batch. Techno‐economic evaluation of the process has been performed to demonstrate its economic feasibility against currently marketed antivenom products. CONCLUSIONS The developed process is able to produce purified rLTNF with 78±2% recovery. The study shows that recombinant technology can be used to produce rLTNF cost effectively and shows potential as a substitute for currently available antivenoms against snakebite. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry
