Computational Analysis of new Degree-based descriptors of oxide networks

Oxide networks have diverse applications in the polymer and pharmaceutical industries. Polynomials and degree-based topological indices have tendencies to correlate properties of molecular graphs. In this article, we formulate the closed forms of Zagreb and forgotten polynomials and topological indices such as Hyper-Zagreb index, first and second multiple Zagreb indices, forgotten index, Albert index, Bell index, IRM(G) of oxide networks. We also compute the F-index of complement of oxide networks, F-coindex of G and F-coindex of complement of oxide networks. We put graphical analysis of each index with respect to the parameter involved in each case.

The Impact of E-Commerce on International Trade: Case of Turkey

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the impact of electronic commerce on international trade with the case studying of Turkey. E-commerce offers economy-wide benefits to all countries. The benefits are probably to be concentrated in developed countries in the short run, but developing countries will have more to benefit in the long run. Applying electronic commerce in both own and foreign country will affect corporate profits badly in the beginning, but after a certain step of progress, it will promote the rapid growth of corporate profits. The theories covered in this paper are simply those theories which have helped business, governments, and economics to better understand international trade and also to better understand how to manage, regulate, and promote international trade. Turkey has to achieve current account balances in balance of payment where suffers from large deficits for a long time.  In this research, the based on international trade theories and development and growth theories of innovation, the electronic commerce is considered as one of the key stimulus to increase export in Turkish economy. In Turkey, following January 24 the 1980 decisions, trade liberalization policies have been supported by Customs Unions with the European Union. All these were steps of export led growth policies, currently; Turkish economy has target of raising export to USD $ 500 billion from USD $ 150 billion of 2017. E-commerce would offer one of the opportunities in raising exports. In developed economies, it is already measured how e- commerce increase international trade.  New opportunities for international trade have created throughout internet. Turkish Customs offices already adopted the related legislation to facilitate e- commerce. But, there should be security warranty to pave the road doing e-commerce without doubt or fear. The way of communicating or doing business and trade between companies and individuals has changed as the geographical distance decreased between buyers and sellers.

IJTIHAD DI MATA AMEER ALI

Ijtihad sebagai fondasi kebangkitan dan kemajuan umat Islam jadi terpinggirkan akibat salah paham terhadap spirit ajaran Islam yang dibawa Rasulullah. Menurut Ameer Ali, Ijtihad upaya yang ampuh mewujudkan kebangkitkan Islam kembali. Jika di Eropa Renesans didorong oleh lahirnya gerakan Reformasi, dengan menyingkirkannya belenggu Ecclesiastisisme, maka dalam Islam, pembaharuan (reform) harus didahului oleh gerakan pencerahan (enlightenment). Untuk mewujudkan berperannya kembali ijtihad harus dilakukan dua hal; Pertama, membebaskan umat dari belenggu pemahaman literal terhadap sumber-sumber pokok ajaran Islam. Kedua, membebaskan umat dari doktrin „keseragaman‟ yang dibentuk oleh forma-lisasi dan institusio-nalisasi paham agama, yang tidak memberi ruang umat memiliki penafsiran yang dapat dipertanggungjawabkan.

Long-term effects of very low-carbohydrate diet with intermittent fasting on metabolic profile in a social media-based support group

Very low-carbohydrate (VLC) diets are among many diets available for weight loss and diabetes control. In comparison with low-fat diets, VLC diets have shown more pronounced recuperation of insulin sensitivity as well as a steeper decrease of weight and triglyceride levels. However, there is a paucity of data pertaining to their sustainability beyond one year [1-4]. A randomized trial demonstrated that a VLC diet compared to a low-fat diet resulted in greater weight loss at 3 months that continued on at 9 months. However, follow-up at 2 years there no longer was a significant difference in weight loss, hyperlipidemia nor hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) levels [5,6]. Similarly, a larger randomized 2-year study observed a maximal weight loss in patients on a VLC diet at the 6-months mark after which the weight regain was observed. The same group published a follow-up study after 4 more years and observed that the patients on the VLC diet had a mean of 3 kg of weight regain [7]. Patients still showed a significant drop in their total cholesteroland triglyceride levels. Even though the authors reported an adherence rate of 67% to the diet, the sharp increase in weight and triglyceride levels after the 2-year dietary intervention phase was striking, raising doubts about the actual adherence rate. Usually, patients participating in nutritionand weight loss studies are randomly assigned to a particular diet which might explain their lack of motivation to continue this specific diet once the trial has ended. Thus, while the short-term effects of a VLC diet on weightand diabetes control are quite compelling, *Correspondence to: Nicole Jacobi, Division of Hematology and Oncology, Hennepin Healthcare System, Minneapolis, MN, USA, E-mail: Nicole.

CSEye: A Proposed Solution for Accurate and Accessible One-to-Many Face Verification

Facial verification is a core problem studied by researchers in computer vision. Recently published one-to-one comparison models have successfully achieved accuracy results that surpass the abilities of humans. A natural extension to the one-to-one facial verification problem is a one-to-many classification. In this abstract, we present our exploration of different methods of performing one-to-many facial verification using low-resolution images. The CSEye model introduces a direct comparison between the features extracted from each of the candidate images and the suspect before performing the classification task. Initial experiments using 10-to-1 comparisons of faces from the Labelled Faces of the Wild dataset yield promising results.

Distribution and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soils along the Shatt Al-Arab River Delta in southern Iraq

The soil samples from 0–10 cm depth were collected from three areas (Center of Basrah – CB, Garmat Ali – GA, and Abu Al-Khasib – AK) located along the Shatt Al-Arab River (SR) delta in southern Iraq to estimate the distribution and sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The PAH total concentrations in the soils decreased significantly from CB (72.16 ng/g dry weight (DW)), GA (36.48 ng/g DW), to AK (17.30 ng/g DW) gradually indicating the impact of pollution emissions on the distribution of PAHs in soils. The low (2 and 3 ring) and high (4, 5, and 6 ring) molecular weight PAHs accounted for 14%, 16%, 37%, 21%, and 12% respectively in CB soil, 24%, 31%, 29%, 7%, and 10% in GA soil and 40%, 29%, 17%, 8%, and 8% in AK soil. The high molecular weight PAHs predominated in CB soils and the low molecular weight PAHs dominated in GA and AK soils suggesting a difference in emission sources between the studied areas. The PAH diagnostic ratios and principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that PAHs in soils of the SR delta essentially originated from traffic and industrial emissions and biomass and grass/wood/coal combustion. The PAH atmospheric transport from CB area might impact the PAH distribution in the soils of AK area. The risk assessment of the soils has been performed. The total toxic equivalent concentrations (Bapteq) of PAHs in the examined areas did not exceed the Dutch target values suggesting that no carcinogenic risk for the SR delta soils was found.

Traumatic Degloving Injury of Penile and Scrotal Skin: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Degloving injuries of penile and scrotal skin are uncommon events and are caused mainly by accidents with industrial and agricultural machine belts. Here we report a young male who presented shortly after a farm machinery injury to his genitalia resulting in a degloving injury of his penile and scrotal skin. Optimization of the wound and subsequent reconstruction were performed by primary meshed split-thickness skin grafting, with a good functional and esthetical result.
