Universal Preparation Strategy for Ultradurable Antibacterial Fabrics through Coating an Adhesive Nanosilver Glue

Microbiological protection textile materials played an important role in the battle against the epidemic. However, the traditional active antimicrobial treatment of textiles suffers from narrow textile applicability, low chemical stability, and poor washability. Here, a high-strength adhesive nanosilver glue was synthesized by introducing nontoxic water-soluble polyurethane glue as a protectant. The as-prepared nanosilver glue could adhere firmly to the fiber surfaces by forming a flexible polymer film and could encapsulate nanosilver inside the glue. The as-prepared nanosilver had a torispherical structure with diameter of ~22 nm, zeta potential of −42.7 mV, and good dispersibility in water, and it could be stored for one year. Further studies indicated that the nanosilver glue had wide applicability to the main fabric species, such as cotton and polyester fabric, surgical mask, latex paint, and wood paint. The antimicrobial cotton and polyester fabrics were prepared by a simple impregnation–padding–baking process. The corresponding antimicrobial activity was positively correlated with nanosilver content. The treated fabrics (500 mg/kg) exhibited ultrahigh washing resistance (maintained over 99% antibacterial rates for 100 times of standard washing) and wear resistance (99% antibacterial rates for 8000 times of standard wearing), equivalent breathability to untreated fabric, improved mechanical properties, and good flexibility, demonstrating a potential in cleanable and reusable microbiological protection textiles.

Creating compliance in crisis: messages, messengers, and masking up in Britain

Abstract How do governments ensure public compliance with protective policies that restrict individual liberties during a crisis? In this article, the British public’s reaction to mask mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic is examined. We argue that providing information about health risks makes people more willing to comply and that the effectiveness of the information depends on the source. This argument is tested with the help of aggregate public opinion and individual-level experimental data collected in the UK in 2020 and we find that the British public adapted its willingness to wear a mask rapidly and in line with government regulation. Moreover, results from a survey experiment show that simply providing information about risk is sufficient to elevate people’s willingness to wear masks. Interestingly, there is no clear partisan divide in the willingness to comply, suggesting that government messages about risk and responsibility encourage individuals to make sacrifices in times of crisis regardless of which party they support.
Design and Realization of MEMS Heart Sound Sensor with Concave, Racket-Shaped Cilium

The biomedical acoustic signal plays an important role in clinical non-invasive diagnosis. In view of the deficiencies in early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, acoustic properties of S1 and S2 heart sounds are utilized. In this paper, we propose an integrated concave cilium MEMS heart sound sensor. The concave structure enlarges the area for receiving sound waves to improve the low-frequency sensitivity, and realizes the low-frequency and high-sensitivity characteristics of an MEMS heart sound sensor by adopting a reasonable acoustic package design, reducing the loss of heart sound distortion and faint heart murmurs, and improving the auscultation effect. Finally, experimental results show that the integrated concave ciliated MEMS heart sound sensor’s sensitivity reaches −180.6 dB@500 Hz, as compared with the traditional bionic ciliated MEMS heart sound sensor; the sensitivity is 8.9 dB higher. The sensor has a signal-to-noise ratio of 27.05 dB, and has good heart sound detection ability, improving the accuracy of clinical detection methods.
Predictors of Anti-TNF Therapy Failure among Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Patients in Saudi Arabia: A Single-Center Study

Background: The advent of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has revolutionized the management of many immune-mediated diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Infliximab and adalimumab were the first mAbs approved for the management of IBD, and are still commonly prescribed for the treatment of both Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Although mAbs have demonstrated high effectiveness rates in the management of IBD, some patients fail to respond adequately to mAbs, resulting in disease progression and the flare-up of symptoms. Objective: The objective was to explore the predictors of treatment failure among IBD patients on infliximab (INF) and adalimumab (ADA)—as demonstrated via colonoscopy with a simple endoscopic score (SES–CD) of ≥1 for CD and a Mayo score of ≥2 for UC—and compare the rates of treatment failure among patients on those two mAbs. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study among IBD patients aged 18 years and above who had not had any exposure to mAbs before. Those patients were followed after the initiation of biologic treatment with either INF or ADA until they were switched to another treatment due to failure of these mAbs in preventing the disease progression. Univariate and multiple logistic regressions were conducted to examine the predictors and rates of treatment failure. Results: A total of 146 IBD patients (118 patients on INF and 28 on ADA) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The mean age of the patients was 31 years, and most of them were males (59%) with CD (75%). About 27% and 26% of the patients had penetrating and non-stricturing–non-penetrating CD behavior, respectively. Patients with UC had significantly higher odds of treatment failure compared to their counterparts with CD (OR = 2.58, 95% CI [1.06–6.26], p = 0.035). Those with left-sided disease had significantly higher odds of treatment failure (OR = 4.28, 95% CI [1.42–12.81], p = 0.0094). Patients on ADA had higher odds of treatment failure in comparison to those on INF (OR = 26.91, 95% CI [7.75–93.39], p = 0.0001). Conclusion: Infliximab was shown to be more effective in the management of IBD, with lower incidence rates of treatment failure in comparison to adalimumab.
Reinforcement of Timber Beams with Steel Bars: Parametric Analysis Using the Finite Element Method

Incorporating steel bars as reinforcement in glued laminated timber beams is a technique that aims at better structural performance, allowing the reduction of cross-sections. In the present research, based on experimental results from literature about the reinforcement of timbers beams, a parametric study was carried out with the aid of 164 numerical simulations performed within the scope of linear and nonlinear physical analysis via the finite element method to evaluate, with the aid of analysis of variance (ANOVA), the span, base, height, and the reinforcement ratio influence in the service force, ultimate force, and ultimate displacement. Multiple regression models evaluated by ANOVA were established to estimate the service and ultimate forces and ultimate and service displacements as a function of other variables. The results showed an average increase in the service load of 32% and 49%, and the ultimate load of 42.90% and 66.90%, for reinforcement rates of 2% and 4%, respectively. Regarding the multiple regression models, due to the good values obtained from the adjusted determination coefficients to estimate the values of the forces and the ultimate displacements, these can be used in the pre-design of glued laminated timber beams reinforced with steel bars.
Identification of pyroptosis-related subtypes, development of a prognostic model, and characterization of tumour microenvironment infiltration in gastric cancer

As a new programmed death mode, pyroptosis plays an indispensable role in gastric cancer (GC) and has strong immunotherapy potential, but the specific pathogenic mechanism and antitumor function remain unclear. We comprehensively analysed the overall changes of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) at the genomic and epigenetic levels in 886 GC patients. We identified two molecular subtypes by consensus unsupervised clustering analysis. Then, we calculated the risk score and constructed the risk model for predicting prognostic and selected nine PRGs related genes (IL18RAP, CTLA4, SLC2A3, IL1A, KRT7,PEG10, IGFBP2, GPA33, and DES) through LASSO and COX regression analyses in the training cohorts and were verified in the test cohorts. Consequently, a highly accurate nomogram for improving the clinical applicability of the risk score was constructed. Besides, we found that multi-layer PRGs alterations were correlated with patient clinicopathological features, prognosis, immune infiltration and TME characteristics. The low risk group mainly characterized by increased microsatellite hyperinstability, tumour mutational burden and immune infiltration. The group had lower stromal cell content, higher immune cell content and lower tumour purity. Moreover, risk score was positively correlated with T regulatory cells, M1 and M2 macrophages. In addition, the risk score was significantly associated with the cancer stem cell index and chemotherapeutic drug sensitivity. This study revealed the genomic, transcriptional and TME multiomics features of PRGs and deeply explored the potential role of pyroptosis in the TME, clinicopathological features and prognosis in GC. This study provides a new immune strategy and prediction model for clinical treatment and prognosis evaluation.

Military Marriages: Do Adaptive Processes Promote Marital Resilience?

Abstract A variety of factors can influence job performance and retention of military personnel, including family-related stress and satisfaction. Maintaining satisfying romantic relationships can be challenging for all couples, but the military lifestyle adds unique challenges that military couples must overcome. Our study included 702 female civilian spouses of Canadian Armed Forces members. We examined a selection of enduring traits, emergent traits, relationship resources, military experiences, and nonmilitary circumstances to predict perceived marital stability and the mediating and interactive influence of adaptive processes. We found that adaptive processes mediated the relationship between select risk factors and perceived marital stability. A less insecure attachment style, a lower degree of financial instability, and fewer children were all associated with better adaptive processes, which was in turn associated with more perceived marital stability. Current deployment did not influence these results, nor did adaptive processes moderate the relationship between any risk factor and perceived marital stability. These findings suggest that promoting healthy and positive spousal interactions, communications, and support among military couples may mitigate the risk associated with a variety of military and nonmilitary challenges that military marriages face.
Molecular genetic variation of animals and plants under domestication

Domesticated plants and animals played crucial roles as models for evolutionary change by means of natural selection and for establishing the rules of inheritance, originally proposed by Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel, respectively. Here, we review progress that has been made during the last 35 y in unraveling the molecular genetic variation underlying the stunning phenotypic diversity in crops and domesticated animals that inspired Mendel and Darwin. We notice that numerous domestication genes, crucial for the domestication process, have been identified in plants, whereas animal domestication appears to have a polygenic background with no obvious “domestication genes” involved. Although model organisms, such as Drosophila and Arabidopsis, have replaced domesticated species as models for basic research, the latter are still outstanding models for evolutionary research because phenotypic change in these species represents an evolutionary process over thousands of years. A consequence of this is that some alleles contributing to phenotypic diversity have evolved by accumulating multiple changes in the same gene. The continued molecular characterization of crops and farm animals with ever sharper tools is essential for future food security.
MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS OF THE CAFFEIC ACID INTERACTIONS TO DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE IV

Objective: The research presented in this article aimed to examine the applicability of a recently published software PyPLIF HIPPOS to identify the interactions hotspots between dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) and its inhibitor caffeic acid during molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Methods: Caffeic acid was docked to the binding pocket of DPP4 followed by 50 ns MD simulations, during which snapshots were taken every 10 ps. The molecular docking and the MD simulations were performed in YASARA-Structure 21.12. 19. The snapshots were analyzed using the MM/PBSA analysis in YASARA-Structure and PyPLIF HIPPOS to calculate the binding energy (BE) and the caffeic acid-DPP4 interactions hotspots, respectively. Results: The 50 ns MD simulations of DPP4-caffeic acid had converged since the early stage of the simulations. The BE and the RMSD values of the ligand movement indicated a probable DPP4 allosteric site. PyPLIF HIPPOS identified 15 interacting DPP4 residues to caffeic acid. The residues interacting with caffeic acid in more than 10% snapshots of the MD simulations were Ser59, Arg61, Glu206, and Phe357. The binding residues Ser59 and Arg61 were suggested to be part of the plausible DPP4 allosteric site. Conclusion: PyPLIF HIPPOS serves as a valuable complement to the MM/PBSA method in the examination of enzyme-inhibitor interactions.
A Relationship between the Bernoulli Function and Potential Vorticity

In 2-dimensional steady adiabatic unforced systems, both the Bernoulli function B and potential vorticity Q are functions of the stream function Ψ, and Q is the derivative of B with respect to Ψ, i.e., Q = dB/dΨ. In this note, this formula is extended to 3-dimensional steady adiabatic systems. Even if there exists dissipation, essentially the same formula holds as far as the inner product between the dissipative force and the velocity is everywhere negative. An application is presented to the problem of lee vorticity.
Controlled and Sequential Delivery of Stromal Derived Factor-1 α (SDF-1α) and Magnesium Ions from Bifunctional Hydrogel for Bone Regeneration

Bone healing is a complex process that requires the participation of cells and bioactive factors. Stromal derived factor-1 α (SDF-1α) and magnesium ions (Mg2+) both are significant bioactive factors for cell recruitment and osteogenesis during bone regeneration. Thus, a bifunctional hydrogel containing a sequential delivery system is fabricated to improve osteogenesis. During sequential delivery of the hydrogel, SDF-1α is predominantly released at the early stage of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) recruitment, while Mg2+ are constantly delivered at a later stage to improve osteogenic differentiation of recruited cells. In addition, due to the early release of SDF-1α, the hydrogel showed strong BMSCs recruitment and proliferation activity. Mg2+ can not only induce up-regulation of osteogenic gene expression in vitro, but also promote bone tissue and angiogenesis in vivo. Taken together, the injection of xanthan gum-polydopamine crosslinked hydrogel co-loading SDF-1α and Mg2+ (XPMS hydrogel) provides a novel strategy to repair bone defects.
A Biomechanical Study for Developing Wearable-Sensor System to Prevent Hip Fractures among Seniors

As the population ages, falls are becoming a major health problem, not only for those with some degree of balance or mobility impairment, but also among healthy active seniors. Previous studies suggest that the degradation of human sensorimotor function related to age contributes to falls. Hip bones are among the most frequently fractured body parts resulting from falls. Hip fractures are a frequent cause of early death, functional dependence, and high medical care costs. The current prevention method is to use hip protectors. Unfortunately, it often fails to do so because the pocket containing the pad can move away from the area during falls. Additionally, some seniors refuse to use hip protectors because they find them constraining. Hence, a new protector that is only activated during a fall is much desired. The current study explored the possibility via biomechanical analyses for building a wearable sensor system that triggers a mini-airbag system during a fall, i.e., the air-pad is only present for protection when a fall occurs. The results have revealed that two sensors placed on the left and right shoulder would be best for a detection of any-direction fall and could be applied for building a wearable sensor system for prevention of hip fractures resulting from falls.

Methods for improving the implementation of advanced encryption standard hardware accelerator on field programmable gate array‐A survey

With the majority of users migrating to a cloud computing platform, the responsibility for data security has increased considerably. As data with various levels of sensitivity moves out of the confines of the system firewall, there is no control over where it resides; it depends on the cloud server being used. This makes the use of secured cryptographic algorithms necessary to improve data security and maintain the confidentiality of data. The encryption algorithm used most extensively today is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Hardware acceleration with Field Programmable Gate Array can improve the performance of AES. This study examines various approaches for improving data encryption methods that can be utilized as hardware accelerators to improve the fundamental AES cipher. Some research publications suggest ways to boost throughput while others advise ways to save area and power. Many subsequent developments have also used other cryptographic methods such as RSA and ECC to improve key management security. This study examines the outcomes of multiple ways for metrics including throughput, area, power, and data security, and explains some of the best implementation solutions for each metric individually.
Analysis of Stability, Rheological and Structural Properties of Oleogels Obtained from Peanut Oil Structured with Yellow Beeswax

The aim of this study was to evaluate the macro- and microscopic properties of oleogels with yellow beeswax using different methods, especially modern optical techniques. Microrheological properties, physical stability and morphology of oleogel crystals obtained by structuring of peanut oil with yellow beeswax was analyzed. It was observed that oleogels, even with the smallest concentration of beeswax (2%), were resistant to centrifugal force. Increase in yellow beeswax concentration (from 2, 4, 6 to 8 %) resulted in significant differences in the characteristics of oleogels: increased elasticity (EI), macroscopic viscosity (MVI) and the firmness values of oleogels. It was concluded that non-invasive optical techniques (multi-speckle diffusing wave spectroscopy—Rheolaser Master) are useful in obtaining a quick evaluation of physical properties of oleogels at the microstructural level, and the received information allows for quality assessment.
Functions of Spontaneous Yawning: A Review

Yawning is an important prehistorical physiological mechanism that exist in animals across a variety of species. In the past 50 years, investigation of spontaneous yawning and contagious yawning has been ongoing. Several hypotheses were introduced to this field, such as the circadian hypothesis, brain-cooling hypothesis, and oxygenation hypothesis. These theories now trigger growing debates, and each theory are supported by their own evidence. Here, this review examines three popular hypotheses and reveals the arguments among them. Conversely, one novel hypothesis of mental stress seems more convincing than the other three hypotheses, and needs to be examined by empirical studies.
