Identifying Time-varying Drivers for Social Media Issues and Conversations | Chapter 5 | Recent Studies in Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 1


Successfully understanding of social media conversation growth, dissemination and extinction is a challenging task that relies on identifying groups, group influence, diffusion models, forecast models, social dynamics and text analytics. In this problem, we concentrate on the description of a novel approach for identifying drivers of the direction and momentum of social conversations, including the spread of mood, sentiment and issues. The approach first groups potential drivers of conversation based on variability. The primary driver in each group is then selected. Finally, the relationship between the selected drivers and the topic outcome is calculated and displayed visually. This enables the quick identification of the form and structure of the conversation and allows us to predict momentum, direction, contagion risks, potential responses and interventions. There is a huge amount of data in the form of text available today in the internet across various channels – social media, news articles, blogs, e-commerce websites. Most of this data is a part of some “conversation” or the other where real-world entities discuss, analyze, comment, exchange information in the form of written expressions in textual format. Driver Modeling on textual data can be useful in observing the key drivers which are driving the “conversation” coupled with the associated sentiments and mood states for the observed key drivers. These insights about the key conversational drivers are often used in a variety of domains such as tracking news cycles, stock movements, legislation developments, brand image, viral breakouts and much more.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Occipital Dermal Sinus Tract Causing Craniospinal Infection: A Review | Chapter 13 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  Dermal sinus is a rare congenital condition characterized by a pathological tract connecting the skin to deeper tissues of the central nervous system, potentially leading to severe infectious complications. It arises from a failure in the separation of ectodermal layers during early gestation. Diagnosing dermal sinus tract in newborns requires a careful physical examination, focusing on midline dimples in the occipital region associated with cutaneous abnormalities like hairy nevus or hyperpigmentation. The presence of drainage, abnormal hair distribution, or localized swelling may indicate a sinus tract. Regular examination for dimples or sinuses is recommended for infants and children with recurrent meningitis or infections. Early detection is crucial to prevent severe complications like meningitis, with Staphylococcus aureus being a common causative organism. Neuroradiological studies, including computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with histopath...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...
