Research on the Development and Innovative Strategy of Knowledge Payment Platform in the Internet Era
The widespread adoption of knowledge-based payment systems and numerous online knowledge-based paid items is made possible by the quick development of knowledge information and networking technology. Paid columns were quickly introduced by platforms like Himalaya FM, Zhihu, and Qingting FM, while pay-for- knowledge businesses like Fenda, iGet, and Qianliao quickly went live online. Users rapidly increased, and it was assumed that the knowledge payment progressive trend had been met. This paper aims to examine the emergence of edge computing into the mobile information system into the presence and inevitability of the knowledge payment platform, evaluate the advantages, challenges, and pathways for knowledge payment platform optimization, and try to provide a conceptual suggestion for aiding in its advancement. During data analysis, the independence of the polynomial characteristics was evaluated using Pearson's chi- squared tests. A brand-new meta-heuristic optimizer dubbed Harris Hawks optimization is inspired by how Harris hawks seek food in the wild. According to the experimental results, 98 of the survey's respondentsāor 19.1% of all respondentsāwere under the age of 18; 201 were between the ages of 18 and 29; 142 were between the ages of 30 and 39; and 73 were over 40, or 14.2% of all respondents. The findings indicate a younger age distribution for the sample, with the concentration being highest among those between the ages of 18 and 29, then 30 to 39. The mobile information system edge-based knowledge payment platform has successfully undergone continuous use behavior analysis
iDriving: Toward Safe and Efficient Infrastructure-directed Autonomous Driving
Autonomous driving will become pervasive in the coming decades. iDriving
improves the safety of autonomous driving at intersections and increases
efficiency by improving traffic throughput at intersections. In iDriving,
roadside infrastructure remotely drives an autonomous vehicle at an
intersection by offloading perception and planning from the vehicle to roadside
infrastructure. To achieve this, iDriving must be able to process voluminous
sensor data at full frame rate with a tail latency of less than 100 ms, without
sacrificing accuracy. We describe algorithms and optimizations that enable it
to achieve this goal using an accurate and lightweight perception component
that reasons on composite views derived from overlapping sensors, and a planner
that jointly plans trajectories for multiple vehicles. In our evaluations,
iDriving always ensures safe passage of vehicles, while autonomous driving can
only do so 27% of the time. iDriving also results in 5x lower wait times than
other approaches because it enables traffic-light free intersections
Tiresias: Predicting Security Events Through Deep Learning
With the increased complexity of modern computer attacks, there is a need for
defenders not only to detect malicious activity as it happens, but also to
predict the specific steps that will be taken by an adversary when performing
an attack. However this is still an open research problem, and previous
research in predicting malicious events only looked at binary outcomes (e.g.,
whether an attack would happen or not), but not at the specific steps that an
attacker would undertake. To fill this gap we present Tiresias, a system that
leverages Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to predict future events on a
machine, based on previous observations. We test Tiresias on a dataset of 3.4
billion security events collected from a commercial intrusion prevention
system, and show that our approach is effective in predicting the next event
that will occur on a machine with a precision of up to 0.93. We also show that
the models learned by Tiresias are reasonably stable over time, and provide a
mechanism that can identify sudden drops in precision and trigger a retraining
of the system. Finally, we show that the long-term memory typical of RNNs is
key in performing event prediction, rendering simpler methods not up to the
task
Effect of personality traits and learning styles towards students' academic achievement in Johor Bahru
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of personality traits and learning styles towards the students' academic achievement in Johor Bahru. A total of 101 students from IPG Kampus Temenggong Ibrahim were chosen to be part of the respondents with the use of simple random sampling. The instrument Big Five Inventory (BFI), Kolb's Learning Style Inventory and The students' academic achievement is measured through the Cumulative Grade Point Average, also known as CGPA. Descriptive statistics, Chi-Square Test, Spearman's Correlation and Multiple Regression was used to anser research questions. The findings revealed that the most common per-sonality traits displayed by the students are Openness and Conscientiousness while the most common learning style displayed by the students is Converger. The research also revealed that there is no significant effect of the combination of both the personality traits and learning style towards the prediction of the academic achievement among school students. The same goes to the difference of personality traits and learning style between male and female students was not significant as well

Micropropagation of Arisaema spp. (filiforme and brinchangense): Explant selection and surface sterilization insights
Arisaema filiforme and A. brichangense are a perennial herbaceous plant (family Araceae) found distributed in mossy forest, Cameron Highlands, with the elevation of 1,900 meters above sea level (a.s.l). The unique inflorescence formation resembling cobra has given this plant the name Cobra lilies, and suitable to be planted as ornamental plant. In addition, it has been used traditionally as a herb. However, the population of these two species are very limited, only thrive in higher elevation and also considered as an endangered. Therefore, realizing its potential in the future as one of the new ornamental plant and materials for the herb bioindustry, a micropropagation approach was employed to produce these species in mass production. Seeds, rhizomes, and petioles were used as the explant materials, cultured onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) media supplemented with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mg L-1) of 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP). The findings revealed rhizomes and seeds to be significant explants for micropropagation, where the survival rate for these two are more than 80%. Petioles had 0% of survivability after week eight of culture due to the fungi infection and tissue necrosis. This study provides an insight into explant selection, where different plant organs have different survival rate due to the tissue mechanical strength. Also, optimum surface sterilization process is very critical in micropropagation to avoid the contamination of the culture and also necrotizing
Ventricular conduction stability noninvasively identifies an arrhythmic substrate in survivors of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation
Background Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a diagnosis of exclusion following normal cardiac investigations. We sought to determine if exercise-induced changes in electrical substrate could distinguish patient groups with various ventricular arrhythmic pathophysiological conditions and identify patients susceptible to VF. Methods and Results Computed tomography and exercise testing in patients wearing a 252-electrode vest were combined to determine ventricular conduction stability between rest and peak exercise, as previously described. Using ventricular conduction stability, conduction heterogeneity in idiopathic VF survivors (n=14) was compared with those surviving VF during acute ischemia with preserved ventricular function following full revascularization (n=10), patients with benign ventricular ectopy (n=11), and patients with normal hearts, no arrhythmic history, and negative Ajmaline challenge during Brugada family screening (Brugada syndrome relatives; n=11). Activation patterns in normal subjects (Brugada syndrome relatives) are preserved following exercise, with mean ventricular conduction stability of 99.2Ā±0.9%. Increased heterogeneity of activation occurred in the idiopathic VF survivors (ventricular conduction stability: 96.9Ā±2.3%) compared with the other groups combined (versus 98.8Ā±1.6%; P=0.001). All groups demonstrated periodic variation in activation heterogeneity (frequency, 0.3-1āHz), but magnitude was greater in idiopathic VF survivors than Brugada syndrome relatives or patients with ventricular ectopy (7.6Ā±4.1%, 2.9Ā±2.9%, and 2.8Ā±1.2%, respectively). The cause of this periodicity is unknown and was not replicable by introducing exercise-induced noise at comparable frequencies. Conclusions In normal subjects, ventricular activation patterns change little with exercise. In contrast, patients with susceptibility to VF experience activation heterogeneity following exercise that requires further investigation as a testable manifestation of underlying myocardial abnormalities otherwise silent during routine testing
Polymeric Branched Flocculant Effect on the Flocculation Process of Pulp Suspensions in the Papermaking Industry
This paper presents the effect of the structure of cationic polyacrylamides (CPAMs) on flocculation of pulp
suspensions and floc properties. A focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) probe was used to monitor
flocculation, deflocculation, and reflocculation processes in real time. To carry out the study, 1% elemental
chlorine free (ECF) eucalyptus kraft pulp containing 20% ground calcium carbonate (GCC) was used. Results
show that the effect of the CPAM structure depends on charge density and polymer dose. Floc size does not
always decrease with branching degree, whereas floc stability and reflocculation ability increased when highly
charged and branched CPAM was used. These findings indicate that the use of highly branched CPAMs with
very high molecular weight is very promising as a retention aid method to improve the papermaking process
Trichobezoar masquerading as massive splenomegaly: Rapunzelās syndrome revisited
Trichobezoars are usually formed due to ingestion of hair or hair-like fibres and present with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. We report a case of Rapunzelās syndrome associated with trichotillomania in a 16-year-old girl who presented to our Haematology unit with complaints of fatigue, abdominal distention, and early satiety. Initial evaluation demonstrated anaemia, thrombocytosis, and a left hypochondrial mass suggestive of splenomegaly. However, ultrasound of the abdomen showed no hepatosplenomegaly and blood investigations were not suggestive of haematological malignancy. Not long after, the patient presented to the emergency department with suspected acute abdomen. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed intraluminal gastric and jejunal masses causing small bowel obstruction. Emergency laparotomy confirmed gastric and jejunal trichobezoars, and subsequent psychiatric evaluation confirmed trichotillomania. Clinicians should consider trichobezoar in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain and a non-tender āspleen-likeā abdominal mass
