The idea suggested in this paper consists in forensic sketches that have to be drawn and furthermore analyzed from an emotional face recognition point of view. The detection itself is more effective and useful to further identify the future behavior and possible reactions of the suspect based on the emotional analysis of the areas on the face. The study embraces this idea and experiments with forensic like sketch images within a system that is trained on a FER+ database, and executed using two different schemes, ML (Multi-Label learning) and CEL (Cross-Entropy Loss). The conducting experiment resulted that for forensic sketch images, CEL system is more efficient than ML training method 69.77% vs 69.05% for the best test accuracy, even if the experiment on the standard image equivalents proved otherwise.

In this study, drying characteristics of two improved parboiled varieties of rice (FARO 44 and FARO 52) at air temperatures of 36oC, 45oC and 50oC were investigated. The drying data were fitted to seven thin layer drying models, namely, Agbashlo et al., Henderson and Pabis, Logarithmic, Newton, Two Term, Verma et al., and Wang and Singh. The models performances were evaluated by comparing the coefficient of determination (R2), standard error (SE) and relationship between the experimental and predicted moisture ratios through nonlinear regression analysis. The main factor controlling the drying rate was temperature and falling rate period characterized the entire drying process. The moisture content of the parboiled rice samples was found to be in the range of 26.33-27.57% (wb) which reduced to 8.87-9.98% (wb) for FARO 44 and 29.37-30.27% (wb) which reduced to 14.33-14.98% (wb) for FARO 52 after drying for various temperatures of 36°C, 45°C and 50°C for eight hours. The R2 and SE varied between 0.9953 - 0.9997, 0.9917- 0.9998, 0.9991 - 0.9999 and 0.9907 - 0.9994, 0.9986 – 1.0000 0.9300- 1.0000 for FARO 44 and FARO 52 respectively for the seven models. The three best models at 36°C for FARO 44 was the Logarithmic followed by Modified Henderson, Pabis and Newton. At 45°C, the Two term model was the best followed by Verma et al., Modified Henderson and Pabis. While for FARO 52 drying behaviour at each drying temperature of 36°C, the best model was the Two term followed by Wang and Singh and Logarithmic. The Two term model was the best model at 50°C. The Two term drying models satisfactorily described the drying behaviour which produced randomized residual plots with highest R2 and lowest standard error of estimates and gave best fitting curves.

The new bidentate Schiff base ligand (E)-N-(4-hydroxy-3-(1-(2-isonicotinoylhydrazono)ethyl)phenyl)acetamide (LH) and its Cu(II), Co(II), Th(IV) and Zr(IV) complexes have been synthesized by the conventional method. Compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, FAB-Mass, molar conductivities, magnetic measurements, electronic spectra, ESR and thermal analysis. Analytical data suggested 1:2 (metal: ligand) mole ratio for all the complexes. The low molar conductance values of the metal complexes in DMSO reveal their non-electrolytic nature. From the observed data of magnetic moment and electronic spectra, the six coordinated structures for all the complexes, have been proposed. The thermodynamic analysis shows that the complexes lose hydrated and/or coordinated water molecules in the first step; followed by decomposition of ligand moiety in the further steps leading to formation of stable oxide. The antibacterial screening results also indicate that the metal complexes are good antibacterial agents as compared to the Schiff base.

In this paper, we examine potential time-varying correlations between crude oil future and USA bond markets. We employ a dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) multivariate GARCH model in order to quantify potential contagion effects between the markets for the period 2005-2020. We divide the period in two sub-period to make the empirical analysis easier. Empirical results reveal increased conditional correlation in the first sub-period (2005-2012) and no contagion in the second sub-period (2012-2020). Results are of interest to investors, who invest long-term into the under investigation financial markets, as well as, to policymakers, who provide regulations for the under investigation derivate market.

Rapid technological advancements in the last few decades have given rise to various new products and fields, such as cryptocurrencies, social media and sentiment analysis. The massive surge in internet usage has caused organizations and investors to increasingly base their decisions on content placed on social media platforms which are flooded with data from its users. One of those platforms is twitter, a micro-blogging platform which allows people to share their opinions in a limited number of characters. Certain users on these platforms have the ability to influence other users’ decision making, including investing. Although stock market prediction through sentiment analysis has been researched often, the amount of research done on prediction Bitcoin prices is relatively low. Furthermore, there is a gap in existing research in which samples are not limited to users that have more knowledge than individual investors. This paper uses sentiment analysis on tweets made be cryptocurrency influencers to see whether they can be used to predict Bitcoin price fluctuations. This paper, additionally researches differences in predictive capabilities between regions and differences in predictive capabilities between a bear and a bull market. The results in indicate that tweets made by cryptocurrency influencers contain statistically significant information about the future value of bitcoin. Thus, analyzing those tweets to exploit profitable opportunities can be worthwhile.

Background: The management of prostate cancer may be difficult due to apoptosis resistance. HIF-1α (Hypoxia inducible factor 1α) and CypA (cyclophilin A) over expression promotes this resistance. Caspase 3 is a central executioner of the apoptosis pathway. Changed expression may correspond to tumor cell challenge. Aim: Evaluation of HIF-1α, CypA and Caspase 3 expressions in BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), PIN (prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia) and PCa (prostatic carcinoma). Methods: One hundred four patients with histologically diagnosed prostatic carcinoma, 20 cases with BPH and 24 cases with PIN were investigated. Immunohistochemical assessment was executed to evaluate HIF-1α, CypA and Caspase 3 expressions. Results: In BPH cases, HIF-1α, CypA and Caspase 3 were expressed in 20%, 30% and 60% respectively. In PIN cases, HIF-1α, CypA and Caspase 3 were expressed in 33.3%, 41.7% and 41.7%, respectively while in PCa cases, HIF-1α, CypA and Caspase 3 were expressed in 57.7%, 69.2% and 25% respectively. Increasing stage of prostatic cancer showed a significant increased HIF-1α and CypA immuno-expression with lost caspase 3 immuno-expressions. Conclusions: Distorted HIF-1α, CypA and Caspase 3 expressions may act as a further mechanism of apoptotic resistance in prostatic carcinoma treatment.
