Abstract The aim of the present work was to analyze the foliar anatomy in lamina transverse section an in epidermis superficial view of Mnesithea selloana. Epidermic preparations and transections were carried out of the medium leaf part of sterile innovations that were conditioned and observed with optic microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).The histofoliar characteristics observed were: epidermic, intercostal, subsidiary, suberose, silicea and bulliform cells; and also guard cells, hairs, waxes, mesophylls, Kranz sheath, vascular bundles, sclerenchyma, colourless parenchyma and leaf margin. Epidermic observations showed that M. selloana presents a panicoid type epidermis presenting silicic cells as halteriforme, longer than… More >

Abstract The documentation of traditional knowledge on medicinal use of plants has provided many important drugs that are used worldwide on a daily basis. Traditional remedies had been (and still are) the main source of livestock ailment treatments, especially in regions of poor resources of the Vhembe District, South Africa. In many rural areas of the Republic of South Africa, traditional medicine is sometimes the only available modern orthodox health care for managing both human and animal health. Much work remains to be done regarding the documentation of the existing ethnobotanical knowledge. In this work, we report an inventory list of… More >

Abstract Origin of West Indian avocado has been explained by current-day factors, such as abundance patterns; however, it is still unclear where it originated. Anyhow, there is a history behind the species that reflects, in one way or another, the present geographic distribution and species characteristics. We examined paleohistorical and paleoecological data to explore the West Indian avocado origin. Our results suggest that West Indian avocado originated by domestication and ecological adaptation in the Maya Lowland area; this is where this botanical variety of avocado has an ancient history.

Abstract With market competition becoming fiercer, enterprises must update their products by constantly assimilating new big data knowledge and private knowledge to maintain their market shares at different time points in the big data environment. Typically, there is mutual influence between each knowledge transfer if the time interval is not too long. It is necessary to study the problem of continuous knowledge transfer in the big data environment. Based on research on one-time knowledge transfer, a model of continuous knowledge transfer is presented, which can consider the interaction between knowledge transfer and determine the optimal knowledge transfer time at different time… More >

Abstract In recent years environmental and sustainability concerns have impacted the global chemical industry and instituted a rush to produce products from renewable raw materials. This dynamic, complex and turbulent organizational scenario, around themes touching on the issue of sustainable development model, was created involving a large number of different actors: chemical/petrochemical industries, agroindustry companies, oil/gas companies, brand owners and end users, biotechnology startups, governments, universities and society. This paper proposed the application of a structured and dynamic method of technological prediction for biopolymers in three levels: systematic monitoring process, relational database and the “alive” Technology Roadmapping visualization tool. The main… More >

Abstract Widely used in aeronautics, bolted and riveted joints are subject to high and various loads during flight. The design of such elements is quite a challenge because of their large number and uncertain nonlinear behavior. Indeed, the control of joint properties such as bolt pretension, bolt hole clearance, and friction during manufacturing processes is an issue.
Engineering design uses a factor of safety (FoS) to quantify uncertainties, which often leads to an oversized structure. Here, the aim is to model uncertainty effects on quantities of interest in order to redefine a more accurate FoS that could reduce manufacturing costs.

Abstract Given the glut of information on the web, it is crucially important to have a system, which will parse the information appropriately and recommend users with relevant information, this class of systems is known as Recommendation Systems (RS)-it is one of the most extensively used systems on the web today. Recently, Deep Learning (DL) models are being used to generate recommendations, as it has shown state-of-the-art (SoTA) results in the field of Speech Recognition and Computer Vision in the last decade. However, the RS is a much harder problem, as the central variable in the recommendation system’s environment is the… More >

Abstract Product innovation is regarded as a primary means for enterprises to maintain their competitive advantage. Knowledge transfer is a major way that enterprises access knowledge from the external environment for new product innovation. Knowledge transfer may face the risk of infringement of the intellectual property rights of other enterprises and the termination of licensing agreements by the knowledge source. Enterprises must develop independent innovation knowledge at the same time they profit from knowledge transfers. Therefore, new product development by an enterprise usually consists of three types of new knowledge: big data knowledge transferred from big data knowledge providers, private knowledge… More >

Abstract Maintenance is an important aspect in the lifecycle of communication network devices. Prevalent problems in the maintenance of communication networks include inconvenient data carrying and sub-optimal scheduling of work orders, which significantly restrict the efficiency of maintenance work. Moreover, most maintenance systems are still based on cloud architectures that slow down data transfer. With a focus on the completion time, quality, and load balancing of maintenance work, we propose in this paper a learning-based virus evolutionary genetic algorithm with multiple quality-of-service (QoS) constraints to implement intelligent scheduling in an edge network. The algorithm maintains the diversity of the population and… More >

Abstract In this paper, we construct the Lane–Emden–Fowler type equations of higher orders. We study the linear and the nonlinear Lane–Emden–Fowler type equations of the third and fourth orders, where other forms can be treated in a similar manner. We use the systematic Adomian decomposition method to handle these types of equations with specified initial conditions. We confirm that the Adomian decomposition method provides an efficient algorithm for exact and approximate analytic solutions of these equations. We corroborate this study by investigating several numerical examples that emphasize initial value problems. More >
