Evaluation of the toxic potentials of cypermethrin pesticide on some reproductive and fertility parameters in the male rats

Abstract: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to tap water containing 0, 8,571, 17,143, or 34,286 ppm cypermethrin for 12 weeks. Based on water consumption per animal per day the rats received 13.15, 18.93, and 39.66 mg cypermethrin, respectively. Fertility was significantly reduced in male rats ingesting cypermethrin at a concentration of 13.15 and 18.93 mg in that the number of females impregnated by them was significantly reduced. The number of implantation sites was significantly reduced in females mated with males that had ingested cypermethrin at a concentration of 39.66 mg. A significant reduction in the number of viable fetuses was observed in females impregnated by the exposed males at all three doses of cypermethrin.

SDIoT: a software defined based internet of things framework

Abstract: The internet of things (IoT) represent the current and future state of the Internet. The large number of things (objects), which are connected to the Internet, produce a huge amount of data that needs a lot of effort and processing operations to transfer it to useful information. Moreover, the organization and control of this large volume of data requires novel ideas in the design and management of the IoT network to accelerate and enhance its performance. The software defined systems is a new paradigm that appeared recently to hide all complexity in traditional system architecture by abstracting all the controls and management operations from the underling devices (things in the IoT) and setting them inside a middleware layer, a software layer. In this work, a comprehensive software defined based framework model is proposed to simplify the IoT management process and provide a vital solution for the challenges in the traditional IoT architecture to forward, store, and secure the produced data from the IoT objects by integrating the software defined network, software defined storage, and software defined security into one software defined based control model.

Using long short-term memory deep neural networks for aspect-based sentiment analysis of Arabic reviews

Abstract: This paper proposes a state-of-the-art research for aspect-based sentiment analysis of Arabic Hotels’ reviews using two implementations of long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks. The first one is (a) a character-level bidirectional LSTM along with conditional random field classifier (Bi-LSTM-CRF) for aspect opinion target expressions (OTEs) extraction, and the second one is (b) an aspect-based LSTM for aspect sentiment polarity classification in which the aspect-OTEs are considered as attention expressions to support the sentiment polarity identification. Proposed approaches are evaluated using a reference dataset of Arabic Hotels’ reviews. Results show that our approaches outperform baseline research on both tasks with an enhancement of 39% for the task of aspect-OTEs extraction and 6% for the aspect sentiment polarity classification task.
