DYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF AEROSTATIC JOURNAL BEARINGS

Aerostatic bearings are in specific cases used for high speed rotors, where most importance have problems of stability. The knowledge of gas film stiffness and damping is necessary for calculation of the rotor stability limit. Algorithms for calculation of aerostatic journal bearings stiffness and damping already exist, but up to now they were not experimentally verified. The stand for demonstration of rotor dynamic phenomena at CTU in Prague was supplemented with super-structure enabling identification of stiffness and damping matrices coefficients. The stiffness and damping coefficients are determined from the response to harmonic excitation, invoked in two different directions by means of piezo-actuator.
Extending the range of symptoms in a Bayesian Network for the Predictive Diagnosis of COVID-19

Emerging digital technologies have taken an unprecedented position at the forefront of COVID-19 management. This paper extends a previous Bayesian network designed to predict the probability of COVID-19 infection, based on a patient's profile. The structure and prior probabilities have been amalgamated from the knowledge of peer-reviewed articles. The network accounts for demographics, behaviours and symptoms, and can mathematically identify multivariate combinations with the highest risk. Potential applications include patient triage in healthcare systems or embedded software for contact-tracing apps. Specifically, this paper extends the set of symptoms that are a marker for COVID-19 infection and the differential diagnosis of other conditions with similar presentations.
An Automatic Finite-Sample Robustness Metric: Can Dropping a Little Data Change Conclusions?

We propose a method to assess the sensitivity of econometric analyses to the removal of a small fraction of the sample. Analyzing all possible data subsets of a certain size is computationally prohibitive, so we provide a finite-sample metric to approximately compute the number (or fraction) of observations that has the greatest influence on a given result when dropped. We call our resulting metric the Approximate Maximum Influence Perturbation. Our approximation is automatically computable and works for common estimators (including OLS, IV, GMM, MLE, and variational Bayes). We provide explicit finite-sample error bounds on our approximation for linear and instrumental variables regressions. At minimal computational cost, our metric provides an exact finite-sample lower bound on sensitivity for any estimator, so any non-robustness our metric finds is conclusive. We demonstrate that the Approximate Maximum Influence Perturbation is driven by a low signal-to-noise ratio in the inference problem, is not reflected in standard errors, does not disappear asymptotically, and is not a product of misspecification. Several empirical applications show that even 2-parameter linear regression analyses of randomized trials can be highly sensitive. While we find some applications are robust, in others the sign of a treatment effect can be changed by dropping less than 1% of the sample even when standard errors are small.
Quantifying geographic heterogeneity in TB incidence and the potential impact of geographically targeted interventions in South and North City Corporations of Dhaka, Bangladesh: a model-based study

Abstract In rapidly growing and high-burden urban centres, identifying tuberculosis (TB) transmission hotspots and understanding the potential impact of interventions can inform future control and prevention strategies. Using data on local demography, TB reports and patient reporting patterns in Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) and Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC), Bangladesh, between 2010 and 2017, we developed maps of TB reporting rates across wards in DSCC and DNCC and identified wards with high rates of reported TB (i.e. ‘hotspots’) in DSCC and DNCC. We developed ward-level transmission models and estimated the potential epidemiological impact of three TB interventions: active case finding (ACF), mass preventive therapy (PT) and a combination of ACF and PT, implemented either citywide or targeted to high-incidence hotspots. There was substantial geographic heterogeneity in the estimated TB incidence in both DSCC and DNCC: incidence in the highest-incidence wards was over ten times higher than in the lowest-incidence wards in each city corporation. ACF, PT and combined ACF plus PT delivered to 10% of the population reduced TB incidence by a projected 7%–9%, 13%–15% and 19%–23% over five years, respectively. Targeting TB hotspots increased the projected reduction in TB incidence achieved by each intervention 1.4- to 1.8-fold. The geographical pattern of TB notifications suggests high levels of ongoing TB transmission in DSCC and DNCC, with substantial heterogeneity at the ward level. Interventions that reduce transmission are likely to be highly effective and incorporating notification data at the local level can further improve intervention efficiency.
Shaping Robot Gestures to Shape Users’ Perception A Case Study on the Effect of Amplitude and Speed on Godspeed Ratings

This paper presents a case study investigating the relationship be-tween the way a robot displays different gestures, and the way these gestures are perceived by its users. The experiments presented show that, at least for some gestures, there is a statistically significant association between changes in amplitude and speed and changes in the responses by the users on the Godspeed questionnaire. Finally this paper presents a description of encountered issues while conducting the case study, a root-cause analysis of those issues, and a discussion of what lessons can be learned from them.
Effect of ginger (Zingiber officinalis L.) on quality and shelf life of Chhana whey beverage

The present investigation was planned to evaluate the effect of ginger on chhana whey beverage (CWB). The pre optimized and finalized different levels of ginger powder in chhana whey were used to the experimental treatments. The experiments were laid out in completely randomized design with four replications for pre experimental and experimental trials. The experimental treatments were; without ginger powder (T0), addition of 0.1% (T1), 0.2% (T2), 0.3% (T3), 0.4% (T4) ginger powder. All the experimental samples were analyzed for sensory, chemical and microbiological qualities on day 0 (fresh), 5th day, 10th and 15th day of storage at refrigerated temperature of (5- 60C). The standard methods of analysis were followed and the data were statistically analyzed. The fresh samples of CWB were analyzed for chemical, sensory and microbiological qualities. On increasing level of ginger over 0.3% and 10% sugar, the sensory scores for colour and appearance, consistency, flavour and overall acceptability was going decreasing. the chemical parameters like lactose protein, total sugar, total solids, titrable acidity increased significantly (p< 0.05) whereas fat was irrespective and pH show close similarity. The SPC counts increased, The YMC and Coliforms were detected during storage period. On storage time increased the sensory scores for colour and appearance, consistency, flavour and overall acceptability was going decreasing. The chemical parameters like fat, protein, total sugar, total solids, titrable acidity increased significantly (p< 0.05) whereas lactose and pH decreased significantly. The SPC mean counts increased from 11.0 (T4) to 15.0 (T0) cfu/ml x 103 on 15th day of storage period. The YMC Increased from 0 to 38.0 cfu/ml x103. No coliforms were detected during storage period. Better quality Chhana Whey Beverage (CWB) could be prepared by blending of 0.3% ginger powder and 10% sugar. The prepared ginger CWB remained acceptable upto 10 days at refrigerated temperature (5-6 ± 2 0C).
PLOS ONE Pathological and Molecular Responses around Deep Brain Stimulation Electrodes in MRI Scanning at 1.5-T, 3.0-T and 7.0-T: An In Vivo Comparative Study

Abstract: Objective: The purposes of this study are to investigate the pathological and molecular responses of the tissue surrounding the deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes in MRI scanning at 1.5-T, 3.0-T and 7.0-T. Materials and Methods: The PINS DBS devices, a new type of DBS system, were stereotactically implanted into the brains of New Zealand rabbits, targeting the left nucleus ventralis posterior thalami, while on the right side a puncture passage pointing to the same nucleus was made by slowly withdrawing the lead after insertion. MR scanning of routine sequences at multiple levels (1.5-T, 3.0-T and 7.0-T) was performed using the transmit/receive head coils. The responses of the surrounding tissue were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining (H&E staining) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The amount of the 70k Da heat shock protein (HSP-70) was quantified by western blot and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) to further evaluate the injury. Results: H&E staining and TEM showed that the injury around the DBS electrode was indistinctive to that of the control group (p > 0.05). The differences of the pathological alterations among MRI groups were also insignificant (p > 0.05). Besides, western blot and QPCR failed to show significant differences between the DBS side and the puncture side in each group (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Based on these results, we speculated that MRI at different levels did not induce morphologically observable and molecularly detectable heating injury to the brain tissue surrounding the DBS lead. Although no extrapolation could be made to human tests due to the anatomical differences, these preliminary data furthered our understanding of the MRI-related implant heating and encouraged future investigations on human subjects.
Studies on the effect of sulphur with and without FYM on yield and quality of mustard crop in Vertisols

An experiment was conducted at the field of Department of Soil Science and Agril. Chemistry, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P) during Rabi season of 2013-14 and 2014-15 under AICRP on MSN in a Factorial randomized block design with three replications and ten treatments comprising viz., T1 (Control), T2 (15 Kg S ha), T3 (30 Kg S ha), T4 (45 Kg S ha), T5 (60 Kg S ha), T6 (FYM 5 t ha), T7 (15 Kg S ha+ FYM 5 t ha ), T8 (30 Kg S ha + FYM 5 tha), T9 (45 Kg S ha + FYM 5 t ha) and T10 (60 Kg S ha + FYM 5t ha). The results obtained from the present investigation clearly indicated that yield of seed and straw increased significantly with enhancing sulphur up to highest level of 60 kg ha + FYM 5 t ha.S X FYM interaction showed significant difference in seed protein content. Treatment combination of Sulphur 60 kg ha+ FYM 5 t ha recorded maximum percentage of protein (18.85%) and oil (41.29%) content in seed. However, better improvements in yields were exhibited when S and FYM were integrated together. This increase might be due to steady decomposition of FYM and release of nutrients throughout the crop growth period coupled with better assimilation of nutrients. Highest seed (1684.70 kg ha) and Stover (4739.82 kg ha) yields was recorded with the application of Sulphur 60 kg ha + FYM 5 t ha over rest of the treatments.
Anticancer activity of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) and Oats (Avena sativa L.) Extracts, and their antitumor enhancement of 5-Fluorouracil on Colon Cancer Caco-2 Cell Line

Colorectal cancer is one of the commonest tumors worldwide, and the third cause of death among all cancers. Over the years, several herbal plants have proved efficacy in modulating this disease. In this study, plant parts of Rosmarinus officinalis, Avena sativa, Punicagranatum and Portulaca oleracea were investigated for their possible antitumor effects. The plants were extracted using Soxhlet using different solvent. Using MTT, the viability of Caco-2 cells wasassessed after treatments with the crude extracts. The most potent extracts were treated in a combination manner with 5-Fluorouracil against Caco-2 and quantified using Chou-Talalay method. Results show that R. officinalis chloroformic and A. sativa ethanolic extracts have given the best antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects with IC50 77 and 67 μg/ml, respectively. Combination experiments of those extracts with 5-Fluorouracil have shown various synergies. The two extracts show potentiality for cancer therapy; however, further studies needed to assess their active components and their effects in vivo.
Commodity price volatility and economic growth in Africa: the mitigating role of trade policy

The extreme volatile behavior of Africa’s output and consumption is strongly related to the extent of exposure to external shocks in its trade earnings. The volatility of export earnings inherent in African economies depicts trade and export structure not diversified, and the need for development managers in easing the over-arching dependence on commodity exports earnings as a major source of budget financing. This study investigates the effect of commodity price volatility on real GDP using a longitudinal data covering fifty-three African commodity-dependent countries for the period 1970–2017. The theoretical framework is premised on the neoclassical growth model, and the system generalized method of moments (SGMM) estimation technique was adopted. The results from the estimation procedure indicate a negative contemporaneous relationship between commodity price volatility and growth. However, the intervention of policy instruments such as contrasting openness degree signals short-run relief for commodity export-dependent economies, as trade policy mitigates the adverse effect of commodity price volatility on growth.
Nutrient composition of some traditional breakfast cereals of Assam

The study was undertaken to assess the nutrient composition of some selected traditional breakfast cereals of Assam such as Komal chawl, Bora chawl, Sandahguri, Red rice and Red chira. The selected cereals were evaluated for their nutritional quality for its mineral content and total antioxidant capacity. Among the minerals, the iron and calcium content were found highest in Red chira which are 16.60 mg/100g and 5.10 mg/100g respectively. Red rice contained highest phosphorous content (114.00mg/100g) followed by Red chira (95.00mg/100g) and the lowest content was found in Bora chawl (43.00mg/100g). The potassium content ranged from 62.00 mg/100g to 130.00mg/100g with the lowest in Bora chawl and highest in Red chira. The total antioxidant capacity was highest in Red rice which was 160mg/100g of sample followed by Sandahguri which was 77.50mg/100g. The antioxidant activity for Red chira, Bora chawl and Komal chawl were 68.80mg/100g, 53.00mg/100g and 50.00mg/100g respectively. Results generated in this study might be able to provide vital information’s on identifying ‘superior traditional breakfast cereals of Assam’, based on their mineral content as well as on their total antioxidant activity.
Studies of SmBa2Cu3O7-δ / ZnFe2O4 Superconducting Composites

SmBa2Cu3O7-δ /(ZnFe2O4)x superconducting composites with 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.20 wt% were prepared by the usual solid-state reaction method. The prepared samples were investigated using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) at room temperature and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements in the temperature range (100-295 K). It is found that EPR spectra are dominated by an anisotropic Cu2+ EPR pattern. Moreover, the EPR spectral intensity increases as the temperature decrease from room temperature down to 100 K. The number of spins (N) participating in EPR resonance, the activation energy (Ea), the paramagnetic susceptibility (c) and the effective magnetic moment (μeff) are calculated as a function of both nanosized ZnFe2O4 addition and temperature. The results are interpreted in terms of localized Cu2+ ions from non-superconducting impurity phases and confirmed by magnetization-field (M-H) hysteresis measurements.
STAINING GROUND SECTIONS OF NATURAL DRY BONE TISSUE FOR MICROSCOPY

The histological staining of bone tissue is of great value in identifying structural changes in human bone tissue when examined microscopically, and is therefore routinely used by clinical pathologists. However, for archaeological and other types of undecalcified dry bone tissue, histochemical staining is currently not widely used. The purpose of this paper is to describe a new method developed for the staining of undecalcified archaeological bone which may be a valuable addition to the paleopathological toolkit. Sections were ground by hand and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. The microstructure and architecture of the stained sections becomes clearly visible without compromising total tissue envisioning. In addition, staining enhances differentiation between taphonomically affected and non-affected bone tissue. This paper accordingly describes a reproducible stepwise method for the production of ground stained sections. An additional troubleshooting paragraph discusses the most often encountered problems and provides solutions.
Protective effect of ENervin on diabetic neuropathic condition in Schwann cells

Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy depends on three main approaches: risk factor management and intensive glycaemic control and symptomatic pain management. It’s a type of nerve damage caused by long-term high blood sugar levels. ENervin is a polyherbal formulation very effective to rejuvenate nervous system and used for the therapy of Diabetic Neuropathy. Thus, a preliminary study has been planned to observe and evaluate the effect of ENervin on diabetic neuropathy. The ENervin tablet shows the presence of five important compounds like ar-tumerone, stigmasterol, gingerol, lupeol and trilaurin which was confirmed by HPLC analysis. In this experiment, different concentrations of ENervin decreased the Schwann cells in diabetic condition and its beneficial action was compared with Pregabalin, an oral capsule used to treat neuropathic pain. Future preclinical and clinical research of ENervin may help us to strongly support the usage of this polyherbal medicine for the treatment of pain in diabetic neuropathy.
The Country of Origin effects on Moroccan elite consumer'sattitudes and purchase intention towards hedonic product

Even if country of origin effects is one of the most studied topics in marketing literature and consumer behavior, but still attract the attention of researchers due to tremendous critics that need to be addressed. Based on some of those critics, this article presents the results of a qualitative study based on thirty laddering interviews conducted with Moroccan men belonging to the elite of generation Y. Our aim is to understand their attitudes towards hedonic product made in their local country-Morocco- vs foreign countries by integrating the means origin as a product attribute, consequence and personal value. The findings demonstrate that Moroccan elite consumers prefer foreign brands because they enhance their appearance, self-confidence and the need for uniqueness
In-situ measurements of cemented paste backfill in long-hole stopes

Cemented Paste Backfill has proven to be of critical importance to the operation of a number of Canadian mines, primarily due to the rapid backfilling rate this method permits. In order to improve the efficiency of this backfill system (i.e. optimize binder contents, fill fence design, and the employment of two stage filling strategies) there is a requirement to better understand its geomechanical behaviour. In response, in-situ experiments have been conducted in long-hole stopes to quantify the evolution of total earth pressures and pore pressures at a series of instrumented points within both the core of the backfill and close to fill fences. The deflection of fill fences as a result of paste loading has been measured and additional instrumentation has also been employed to measure cement hydration, negative pore pressures, and blasting induced vibrations within fresh and cured paste backfill. Installing geotechnical instrumentation within an open long-hole stope can be an extremely complex procedure and this paper details the methods that have been successfully employed. Preliminary results are presented, and the pressures induced by backfill with differing binder contents, at a number of different in-stope locations are considered.
Diet of adult and juvenile wildcats in Southern Tuscany (Central Italy)

Abstract. The wildcat is a rare and elusive mammal species, with a broad feeding spectrum. We collected 34 scats of wildcat in the surroundings of a reproductive site to assess the diet of juvenile wildcats and relevant parents in a rural area of Central Italy. The Brillouin diversity index suggested that our sample was large enough to assess the seasonal diet of both age classes. Wood mice were the most preyed species (59.4 %), followed by bank voles (12.5 %). No significant difference was observed between adult and juvenile diet compositions. Birds were rarely consumed and mostly present in the diet of adult individuals, with the exception of the red-legged partridge, observed only in juvenile scats.
