Natural Ventilation Design Attributes Application Effect on Indoor Natural Ventilation Performance of a Double Storey Single Unit Residential Building

: In establishing a good indoor thermal condition, air movement is one of the important parameter to be considered to provide indoor fresh air for occupants. Due to the public awareness on environment impact, people has been increasingly attentive to passive design in achieving good condition of indoor building ventilation. Throughout case studies, significant building attributes were found giving effect on building indoor natural ventilation performance. The studies were categorized under vernacular houses, contemporary houses with vernacular element and contemporary houses. The indoor air movement of every each spaces in the houses were compared with the outdoor air movement surrounding the houses to indicate the space’s indoor natural ventilation performance. Analysis found the wind catcher element appears to be the most significant attribute to contribute most to indoor natural ventilation. Wide opening was also found to be significant especially those with louvers. Whereas it is also interesting to find indoor layout design is also significantly giving impact on the performance. The finding indicates that a good indoor natural ventilation is not only dictated by having proper openings at proper location of a building, but also on how the incoming air movement is managed throughout the interior spaces by proper layout. Understanding on the air pressure distribution caused by indoor windward and leeward side is important in directing the air flow to desired spaces in producing an overall good indoor natural ventilation performance.
The Zhaxikang Vein‐type Pb‐Zn‐Ag‐Sb Deposit in Himalayan Orogen, Tibet: Product by Overprinting and Remobilization Processes during Post‐collisional Period

The Zhaxikang Pb‐Zn‐Ag‐Sb deposit, the largest polymetallic deposit known in the Himalayan Orogen of southern Tibet, is characterized by vein‐type mineralization that hosts multiple mineral assemblages and complicated metal associations. The deposit consists of at least six steeply dipping vein‐type orebodies that are hosted by Early Jurassic black carbonaceous slates and are controlled by a Cenozoic N–S‐striking normal fault system. This deposit records multiple stages of mineralization that include an early period (A) of massive coarse‐grained galena–sphalerite deposition and a later period (B) of Sb‐bearing vein‐type mineralization. Period A is only associated with galena–sphalerite mineralization, whereas period B can be subdivided into ferrous rhodochrosite–sphalerite–pyrite, quartz–sulfosalt–sphalerite, calcite–pyrite, quartz–stibnite, and quartz‐only stages of mineralization. The formation of brecciated galena and sphalerite ores during period A implies reworking of pre‐existing Pb–Zn sulfides by Cenozoic tectonic deformation, whereas period B mineralization records extensive open‐space filling during ore formation. Fluid inclusion microthermometric data indicate that both periods A and B were associated with low–medium temperature (187–267°C) and low salinity (4.00–10.18% wt. NaCl equivalent) ore‐forming fluids, although variations in the physical–chemical nature of the period B fluids suggest that this phase of mineralization was characterized by variable water/rock ratios. Microprobe analyses indicate that Fe concentrations in sphalerite decrease from period A to period B, and can be divided into three groups with FeS concentrations of 8.999–9.577, 7.125–9.109, 5.438–1.460 mol. %. The concentrations of Zn, Sb, Pb, and Ag within orebodies in the study area are normally distributed in both lateral and vertical directions, and Pb, Sb, and/or Ag concentrations are positive correlation within the central part of these orebodies, but negatively correlate in the margins. Sulfide S isotope compositions are highly variable (4‰–13‰), varying from 4‰ to 11‰ in period A and 10‰ to 13‰ in period B. The Pb isotope within these samples is highly radiogenic and defines linear trends in 206Pb/204Pb vs. 207Pb/204Pb and 206Pb/204Pb vs. 208Pb/204Pb diagrams, respectively. The S and Pb isotopic characteristics indicate that the period B orebodies formed by mixing of Pb–Zn sulfides and regional Sb‐bearing fluids. These features are indicative of overprinting and remobilization of pre‐existing Pb–Zn sulfides by Sb‐bearing ore‐forming fluids during a post‐collisional period of the Himalayan Orogeny. The presence of similar ore types in the north Rhenish Massif that formed after the Variscan Orogeny suggests that Zhaxikang‐style mineralization may be present in other orogenic belts, suggesting that this deposit may guide Pb–Zn exploration in these areas.
Ethical Attitude Levels of Surgical Nurses in Nursing Care: A Cross-sectional Study

Background: Surgical nurses have several ethical responsibilities, and it is important to examine the ethical attitudes of nurses to determine the existing ethical attitude level and to minimize possible ethical problems. Aim: This study aimed to determine the ethical attitude levels of surgical nurses in nursing care. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with 143 nurses who were working at surgical units of a university hospital between October 15, 2021 and January 17, 2022. Data were collected using the “Ethical Attitude Scale in Nursing Care” instruments. The descriptive statistics, the Mann–Whitney U -test, the Kruskal–Wallis H test, and Spearman’s correlation test were used for data analysis. Results: Among the nurses, 65% were working in surgical wards, and 72% had received training on ethics as a lesson in educational processes and/or as in-service training. The ethical attitude level of nurses was found to be over the moderate level. Nurses who received training on ethics had statistically significantly higher ethical attitude scores than those who did not ( U = 1594.000, P = .036). A statistically significant correlation was found between ethical attitude score and clinical experience duration ( r = .207, P =.013). Conclusion: Among surgical nurses working in many specific surgical units, their ethical attitude levels in nursing care are influenced by having longer clinical experience duration and receiving training on ethics. Therefore, ethics education is beneficial in dealing with ethical problems and should be carried out with different programs during or after nursing education.
Spatial Distribution of Plasma Sheet Entropy Reduction Caused by a Plasma Bubble: Rice Convection Model Simulations

We conduct simulations based on the Rice Convection Model to evaluate the spatial distributions of total flux tube entropy (S) in the near‐Earth plasma sheet resulting from an earthward moving plasma bubble, and their dependences on two parameters: (1) the bubble's initial magnetic local time location and (2) strength of large‐scale convection. The plasma and magnetic field changes caused by the simulated bubble as it moves earthward qualitatively agree with an observed event. The simulated large‐scale convection is weaker in the premidnight than postmidnight sector because auroral conductance becomes lower toward dusk. The S reduction region resulting from the bubble expands azimuthally at smaller radial distances. The dawnward expansion is due to electric drift, while the duskward expansion is a result of proton's magnetic drift. The S within the bubble is not conserved as the bubble moves because particles of different energies within the bubble drift apart. The radial and azimuthal extents of the S reduction vary with the bubble's initial magnetic local time location. The S reduction region caused by a premidnight bubble extends substantially closer to the Earth and azimuthally wider than does a postmidnight bubble. This difference is mainly due to the weaker convection in the premidnight sector. Comparing with those under strong convection, the bubble plasma is colder under weak convection so that the bubble transport is affected more by electric drift. The S reductions under weak convection are much more confined in their azimuthal width and do not extend as far inward.
Case report: Pathological complete response of pregnancy associated pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma to chemoradiotherapy

Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma (PEAC) is a rare lung adenocarcinoma with morphological features similar to those of primary and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. To date, only a few studies have reported the therapeutic effects of chemoradiotherapy on PEAC. This report describes the case of a 28-year-old woman with pregnancy-related PEAC who presented with left shoulder pain. A superior sulcus tumor was identified in the left thoracic cavity, and the biopsy indicated more than 50% intestinal differentiation components. Moreover, immunohistochemical staining revealed positive CDX2 and CK7 expression. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography, upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, and small intestinal capsule endoscopy revealed no gastrointestinal malignancies. The patient was diagnosed with locally advanced PEAC (clinical stage T4N0M0; stage IIIA). Therefore, the patient was treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy and underwent gross total resection during surgery. Pathological evaluation of the specimen revealed no residual tumor, indicating that the chemoradiotherapy for PEAC was highly effective. One subsequent brain metastasis was also resected, and the patient has not experienced recurrence in 28 months since this resection and continues to be monitored regularly. This is the first pathologically confirmed report of the use of chemoradiotherapy (carboplatin [CBDCA] and paclitaxel [PTX]) for PEAC and its clinical efficacy. Unlike previous reports, the efficacy of this treatment is attributed to the use of PTX in preoperative chemotherapy and the p21− status of the patient, which may have increased sensitivity to chemoradiation therapy. Therefore, chemoradiotherapy (CBDCA + PTX) may be a viable treatment option for advanced intestinal lung adenocarcinoma.
Evaluation of tractor traffic on soil physical properties and their relationship with white oat yield in no-tillage

In a no-tillage system, the absence of soil disturbance combined with increased machine traffic has led to soil compaction in the top layer, negatively affecting its physical quality and hampering crop growth and production. This experiment aimed to assess the impact of tractor traffic, occurring under a no-tillage system, on soil physical properties and their relationship with the growth and yield of white oat crops. The research was conducted in an Oxisol, utilizing a randomized block design with five replications. The treatments consisted of ten consecutive years of no-tillage and additional traffic by 2, 4, 6, and 8 passes of a tractor wheel across the entire plot area. Various soil parameters were evaluated in two soil layers, including soil bulk density, total porosity, macroporosity, and soil resistance to penetration. Additionally, plant height, stem diameter, dry plant mass, mass of one thousand grains, and grain yield were determined. The collected data were analyzed using analysis of variance and linear regression. The results indicated that higher tractor traffic intensity led to increased soil bulk density and reduced macroporosity and soil resistance to penetration in the 0-0.10 m layer compared to the 0.10-0.20 m layer. In the 0-0.10 m layer, bulk density values exceeding 1.44 Mg m-3 were found to restrict the growth and yield of white oat crops, while in the 0.10-0.20 m layer, grain yield was limited when soil bulk density surpassed 1.35 Mg m-3. Our results show that farmers should be aware of the consequences of machine traffic on soil properties as it can have negative effects on crop yields, especially those of white oats grown in clayey soil similar to the one evaluated in this experiment.

Exercising self-control depletes a finite resource of energy and reduces the ability to control behavior on subsequent tasks. Baumeister and others refer to the attenuation of self-regulation as ego depletion. Recent research has successfully utilized computer-based depletion manipulations and measures. Previous research has focused on depletion tasks and measures in a laboratory setting, but no known research has extended ego-depletion research to the online environment. The present study attempted to manipulate and measure ego-depletion through an online medium. We hypothesized that participants in the online experimental condition would perform significantly worse on two measures of depletion than participants in the depletion control or empty control condition. Further, we examined the potential for an order effect of depletion measures. Despite using research-supported manipulations and measures of ego-depletion, we found no evidence of depleted states in participants who were randomly assigned to the experimental condition. Further, our results did indicate a main effect of dependent-variable order. In this experiment, completing the first dependent variable did have a significant impact on performance during the second dependent variable.
Effect of dietary inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf meal on and Hemato-biochemical profile of Sahiwal calves

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of dietary inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf meal as a substitute for concentrate mixture on the growth performance and haemato-biochemical profile of Sahiwal calves. Twenty-four Sahiwal female calves, six to ten months of age, with an average body weight of approximately 77.41±0.93 kg, were randomly distributed through three equal dietary treatments. Moringa oleifera leaf meal inclusion replacing the concentrate mixture was made @ 0% (M 0 ), 10% (M 10 ), and 20% (M 20 ), respectively. The results indicated that dietary inclusion of 10 and 20% Moringa oleifera leaf meal significantly improved ( p <0.001) final body weight, dry matter intake, daily weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, and haemo-biochemical profile as compared to control (M 0 ). It can be concluded that Moringa oleifera leaf meal is a source of nutritional and therapeutic advantages when replacing @ 10-20% of the concentrate mixture without any adverse effects on growing Sahiwal female calves.
Influence of Thyme Oil Nano-Encapsulated Chitosan on Productivity, Growth Performance, and Meat Quality of Japanese Quails

HIS research examined how productive, physiological, and meat quality characteristics are affected by thyme oil Nano chitosan-Encapsulated (ETEO). The control group (T1) consumed the basal diet without supplementation, while the second and third groups fed control with Thyme essential oil (TEO) at 50 mg/kg diet (T2) or 70 mg/kg diet (T3). Finally, the fourth and fifth groups fed control +ETEO at 30 mg/kg (T4) and 50 mg/kg (T5) until 42 days of age. Compared to the control group, quails given a (T4) diet had the greatest body weight (BW), feed intake (FI) at 28 days, crude protein (CP) intake, and metabolizable energy (ME) intake from 7 to 42 days old. In terms of meat quality, the T4 and T5 groups had considerably lower TBARS levels (P<0.05) than the control and other groups. Control quail meat (thigh and breast) had the lowest total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) (P<0.05), whereas T4 had the lowest quantity. The supplements improved blood total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in birds fed (T3) relative to (T2) and the control group. Both T2 and T3 showed considerably decreased circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (P<0.05). T4 and T5 feeding increased TP and G levels considerably. As conclusion: Chitosan Nano-Encapsulation could be a method for retaining compounds, properties, and effects of the essential oils used in low concentrations and improving the meat quality of quails.
The Northern Gulf of Mexico During OAE2 and the Relationship Between Water Depth and Black Shale Development

Despite their name, Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) are not periods of uniform anoxia and black shale deposition in ancient oceans. Shelf environments account for the majority of productivity and organic carbon burial in the modern ocean, and this was likely true in the Cretaceous as well. However, it is unlikely that the mechanisms for such an increase were uniform across all shelf environments. Some, like the northwest margin of Africa, were characterized by strong upwelling, but what might drive enhanced productivity on shelves not geographically suited for upwelling? To address this, we use micropaleontology, carbon isotopes, and sedimentology to present the first record of Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2) from the northern Gulf of Mexico shelf. Here OAE2 occurred during the deposition of the well-oxygenated, inner neritic/lower estuarine Lower Tuscaloosa Sandstone. The overlying organic-rich oxygen-poor Marine Tuscaloosa Shale is entirely Turonian in age. We trace organic matter enrichment from the Spinks Core into the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, where wireline log calculations and public geochemical data indicate organic enrichment and anoxia throughout the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary interval. Redox change and organic matter preservation across the Gulf of Mexico shelf were driven by sea level rise prior to the early Turonian highstand, which caused the advection of nutrient-rich, oxygen-poor waters onto the shelf. This results in organic matter mass accumulation rates 1–2 orders of magnitude lower than upwelling sites like the NW African margin, but it likely occurred over a much larger geographic area, suggesting that sea level rise was an important component of the overall increase in carbon burial during OAE2.

Evaluation of cardiovascular biomarkers in patients with age-related wet macular degeneration

Aim To evaluate levels of homocysteine, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and nitric oxide (NO), as well as activity of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods The levels of homocysteine, ADMA, and NO and activity of eNOS in patients who were diagnosed with wet AMD by fundus fluorescein angiography (n=30) were compared to a control group with no retinal pathology (n=30). Results Levels of homocysteine and ADMA were found to be significantly higher in the wet AMD group than in the control group (P<0.001), whereas NO levels and eNOS activity were higher in the control group (P<0.001). In the wet AMD group, we detected a 2.64- and 0.33-fold increase in the levels of ADMA and homocysteine, respectively, and a 0.49- and 2.41-fold decrease in the eNOS activity and NO level, respectively. Conclusion Elevated levels of homocysteine and ADMA were observed in patients with wet AMD. Increased ADMA may be responsible for the diminished eNOS activity found in these patients, which in turn contributes to the decrease in NO levels, which likely plays a role in the pathogenesis of AMD.
Inferring Geothermal Reservoir Processes at the Raft River Geothermal Field, Idaho, USA, Through Modeling InSAR‐Measured Surface Deformation

Ground surface deformations detected with interferometric synthetic aperture radar provide valuable information for inferring subsurface reservoir processes that are difficult to observe directly. This study aims at building a reservoir model that honors the available geological, hydrological, and geomechanical data and also produces ground surface deformation consistent with interferometric synthetic aperture radar measurements at the Raft River Geothermal Field. In the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical coupled model developed, the reservoir deforms as a result of the rock's poroelastic response to changes in hydrologic pressure and thermal expansion/contraction. The results indicate that the observed deformation is the result of pressure decrease in the deep production reservoir and pressure increase in a shallower reservoir that accommodates the injected fluid (likely in the Salt Lake Formation). The combination of the uplift around injection wells with subsidence around the production wells, affected by the Bridge Fault as a flow barrier, creates a complex pattern of surface deformation in which the center of subtle subsidence significantly deviates from the location of the production wells. A parametric study suggests that (a) the Bridge Fault Zone is likely a flow barrier, (b) the surface deformation appears to be insensitive to the presence of the Narrows Structure, and (c) additional flow barriers likely exist to shape the flow system. This case study demonstrates the utility of a high‐fidelity forward model that honors available known information and thermo‐hydro‐mechanical coupled processes in understanding geothermal reservoir characteristics.
Late Cretaceous (Early Turonian) Dinoflagellate Cysts from the Sergipe Basin, Northeastern Brazil

abstract This paper presents the stratigraphic distribution and taxonomy of 62 dinoflagellate cyst species found in 85 samples from early Turonian strata exposed at Votorantim Quarry in northeastern Brazil. The early Turonian age assignment is based on calcareous nannofossils together with the organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts Cribroperidinium muderongense, Canningia reticulata, Florentinia resex, Impletosphaeridium williamsii, Kallosphaeridium? ringnesiorum, Trichodinium boltenhagenii and Xenascus plotei, which are commonly found in early Turonian strata. The genera Subtilisphaera and Palaeohystrichophora are emended, Palaeohystrichophora cheit is reassigned to Subtilisphaera cheit, and is considered a senior synonym of Palaeohystrichophora palaeoinfusa. Canningia reticulata is regarded as a senior synonym of Canningia senonica, and Subtilisphaera pirnaensis is regarded as a separate species from Subtilisphaera perlucida, because morphological characteristics can be used to distinguish them. In this study many cosmopolitan species were found, but we could also observe species with tethyan affinities, such as S. cheit and X. plotei. These species have restricted geographic distribution around the equator and are common in the Cenomanian to Turonian in both hemispheres.
Dendritic normalisation improves learning in sparsely connected artificial neural networks

Inspired by the physiology of neuronal systems in the brain, artificial neural networks have become an invaluable tool for machine learning applications. However, their biological realism and theoretical tractability are limited, resulting in poorly understood parameters. We have recently shown that biological neuronal firing rates in response to distributed inputs are largely independent of size, meaning that neurons are typically responsive to the proportion, not the absolute number, of their inputs that are active. Here we introduce such a normalisation, where the strength of a neuron’s afferents is divided by their number, to various sparsely-connected artificial networks. The learning performance is dramatically increased, providing an improvement over other widely-used normalisations in sparse networks. The resulting machine learning tools are universally applicable and biologically inspired, rendering them better understood and more stable in our tests.
