A computational investigation of noise spectrum due to cavitating and non-cavitating propellers

In this article, noise spectrum of marine propellers is investigated in uniform flow under non-cavitating and cavitating conditions. New results are presented for this research field. Hydrodynamic performance of both non-cavitating and cavitating marine propellers is first analyzed by viscous and potential based flow solvers. In viscous solver, sheet cavitation on propeller blades is simulated with Schnerr–Sauer cavitation model based on Rayleigh Plesset equation using volume of fluid approach. Numerical hydrodynamic results based on viscous solver is compared with potential solver and then validated with experimental data of benchmark David Taylor Model Basin 4119 model propeller. Later, noise spectrum of model propellers is predicted by a hybrid method which combines Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes and Ffowcs Williams Hawkings equations. Computed noise spectrum is compared with other numerical studies in the literature for the selected model propeller. In addition, hydrodynamic and hydroacoustic pressures are compared in near field to show reliability of numerical solution. Effects of blade number on hydrodynamic performance and noise spectrum are also investigated. Numerical results indicated that as blade number increases, propeller noise level decreases for different loading conditions due to decreased blade loading (circulation) per blade. However, propeller efficiency increases as blade number decreases.
What can glove impression evidence reveal about assailants? A pilot study

Abstract Impressions and marks are expected components of any crime scene. There is nothing more disappointing for fingerprint experts than finding glove marks at a crime scene. The forensic expert’s primary task in such cases is to compare the characteristic features of glove impressions with the characteristics of a suspect. The aim of the present study was to determine whether additional information could be obtained from glove prints. Specifically, whether they could be used to help to predict the sex and stature of a suspect was investigated, as was the potential for ascertaining additional information in cases where such prints were recovered from diverse objects with different diameters. Male and female participants wore latex gloves, and after ink was applied to the gloves they grasped objects of different diameters (2, 4, 6 and 8 cm). Impressions of gloved flat hands were also obtained. Phalangeal and finger lengths were measured digitally via software. Sex and stature were successfully estimated based on impressions derived from gloved flat hands and from prints on various grasped objects. A regression equation was developed for stature prediction, and a discriminant equation was developed for sex prediction.
Equine liver disease in the field. Part 1: approach

Liver disease in adult horses is commonly identified during investigation of non-specific clinical signs such as general malaise, lethargy or weight loss. In some cases, disease may be advanced and irreversible by the time a diagnosis is reached. Serum biochemistry and tests of liver function form an important part of diagnosing liver disease but provide limited information regarding aetiology, severity and prognosis. Liver biopsy is recommended in the majority of cases to confirm the presence of disease, to guide therapeutics and to provide information regarding prognosis.
Pharmacovigilance study in psychiatry out-patient department of a tertiary care teaching hospital

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are important in psychiatry practice like any other branch of medicine. ADR monitoring in psychiatry unit play an important role in detecting the patients at high risk for developing ADRs and to understand the nature of ADRs in a local population which helps to alert the physicians about the possibility of such events thereby protecting the patients from avoidable harm. ADRs associated with psychotropic drugs causes either noncompliance or at times discontinuation of therapy. The incidence of serious and fatal ADRs in outpatient setting ranges from 5% to 35%. The study done by Solanke et al, reported that the overall incidence rate of ADRs was found to be 5.01% in psychiatry outpatient department (OPD) of a tertiary referral centre in central India.
Complete mitochondrial genome of the Small Salamander in Korea, Hynobius unisacculus (Anura: Hynobiidae)

Abstract The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Hynobius unisacculus was sequenced and characterized. The circular mt genome constituted of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs) and a non-coding region (NCR). Phylogenetic analysis based on the full mt genome sequences confirmed that H. unisacculus was closely related to Hynobius leechii rather than other Hynobius species. This is the first completed mt genome from H. unisacculus, which provides data for further study of phylogeny in Hynobiidaes.
Re-thinking the Competitive Landscape of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged from its traditional domain of computer science research to be a management reality. This can be seen in the remarkable increase in the adoption of AI technology in organizations resulting in increased revenue, reduced costs and improved business efficiency [19]. Despite this trend, there are still many organizations that are facing the decision whether to adopt AI. Thus, to evaluate the adoption of AI at organizational-level, we draw on two-grounded theories: Technology-Organizations-Environment (TOE) framework and Diffusion of Innovation theory (DOI) to identify factors that influence the adoption of AI. Survey data collected from 208 large, mediumsized and small organizations in Australia is used to test the proposed framework. We offer a method of how examining AI over a set of organizations. Besides offering several important recommendations for AI adoption future directions for research in this area are also included in this paper.
Carisoprodol (Somadril) induced histological and histochemical changes in renal cortex of pregnant rats and their fetuses

Background: carisoprodol is a generally prescribed skeletal muscle relaxant whose primary active metabolite is meprobamate, a substance with well-established abuse potential similar to that of benzodiazepines. A number of reports showed that carisoprodol has been abused for its anodyne and relaxant effects. Aim of the work: the diversion and misuse of carisoprodol and its adverse health effects appeared to be dramatically increased over the last several years. This study aimed to detect the histological and histochemical changes in the cortex of kidney tissue of pregnant rats and their fetuses after treatment with carisoprodol. Materials and Methods: thirty pregnant female rats were randomly categorized into three groups (ten pregnant female rats in each group). The first was administered oral doses of distilled water and served as control. The other two groups were administered oral doses of carisoprodol (Somadril compound) in the distilled water equivalent to 10.8 and 21.6 mg/100g body weight/day respectively for 15 days from the 6th day to the 20th day of gestation. Results: maternal and fetal kidney cortex tissue of both treated groups showed lots of degenerative changes post-treatment with carisoprodol. The severity of these changes was more obvious in fetal cortex of kidney tissue of both groups this was accompanied with numerous histochemical changes. Conclusion: treatment of pregnant rats with carisoprodol led to numerous dystrophic changes in the maternal and fetal kidney cortex tissue. These findings provide evidence to support current recommendations to avoid the use of carisoprodol in pregnant rats except if the potential benefit justifies the risk to the fetuses.
Clinical evaluation of maintenance of apical patency in postendodontic pain: An in vivo study

Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of postoperative pain in 80 endodontically treated teeth, with and without apical patency, in relation to some diagnostic factors (vitality, presence of preoperative pain, group of treated teeth). Materials and Methodology: Apical patency was maintained during shaping procedures with a #10 K-file in one group (n = 40) and not in the other (n = 40). Root canal treatment was done in single visit. Pain was recorded 1st day, 2nd day and 7th day using VAS scale. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between patency and non patency groups regarding incidence and degree of postoperative pain. Only preoperative pain has significant effect on postoperative pain. Conclusion: Our study concluded that maintenance of apical patency did not increase the incidence of postoperative pain when considering all variables together.

Accumulation of Knowledge by Strategic Public Procurement through Public-Private Partnerships for Service Innovation in Japan

This study focuses on how governments strategically procure public service through Public–Private Partnership (PPP) – or more specifically, Private Finance Initiative (PFI) arrangements. PPP/PFI is recognised as a key element of demand-oriented innovation policy in the field of social infrastructure. However, owing to the considerable uncertainty of each project, the benefits of PPP/PFI are subject to debate, as is the role of public procurement in fostering public service innovation. The purpose of this study is to examine how governments strategically procure public services from construction firms in Japan. We conduct a comparative case study of two waste-to-energy PFI projects to clarify how governments improved the public procurement. The results suggest the following: first, municipalities utilise a greater extent of other municipalities’ experience through external experts (i.e. Ministry of Environment, advisors, committee members and potential bidders) and standardised service criteria. Second, the codification of tacit knowledge, which both public and private entities have gained from previous projects, is important for securing a robust and routinised service level and reaping the benefits of the scale of repetition. Third, interaction with private companies in the bidding process with an appropriate manner would foster public service innovation. Governments' capability development through the use of internal and external resources can create space for private companies to provide better service by accumulating tacit knowledge within the projects.

STUDY ON PLATELET INDICES IN PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION

INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy induced hypertension includes gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and eclampsia. In PIH, lower the platelet count, greater are maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Recent studies suggest that platelet parameters like platelet indices are most simple and cost effective method for prediction of PIH, way before the appearance of derangements in PT, APTT, TT values so we undertook this study with an aim to see an association between platelet indices and pregnancy induced hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHOD: This was prospective analytical case control study. Study included 125 cases, who were diagnosed as PIH with B.P. >140/90 mmHg, detected after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Under all aseptic precautions samples were collected randomly in EDTA vials. Samples were analysed for platelet indices. RESULT: Maximum number of cases of Preeclampsia (88.57%) & Eclampsia (87.5%) were found in age group of 21 to 25.Controls were of same age group i.e. 21 to 25 years. It was observed that platelet count showed gradual decrease in eclampsia (1.44580± 36,210) & pre-eclampsia patients (1.97850±39,010) as compared to normotensive subjects (2.42620±40,412). MPV showed gradual increase in eclampsia (10.49±1.12) & pre-eclampsia (9.14±0.612) patients as compared to normotensive subjects (8.422±0.743). PDW value also shows gradual increase in eclampsia (18.39±2.62) & pre-eclampsia (16.29±2.34) patients as compared to normotensive subjects (12.09±2.53). CONCLUSION: Study showed that platelet indices were important, simple, effortless and cost effective investigations which can be used for early recognition of preventable eclampsia complications.

Identifying Financial and Non-Financial Factors as the Determinant of Sukuk Rating in Indonesia

The present study aims to identify financial and non-financial factors as the determinant variables of Indonesian companies' Sukuk ratings between 2014 and 2017. Five independent variables, i.e. firm size, profitability, leverage, guarantee status, and types of Sukuk, are involved in this study with Sukuk rating as the dependent variable. This study employed secondary data in the form of sixty-eight (68) Sukuk publications as the sample. The Sukuk publications observed in this study were still in circulation during the observation years obtained from Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK/ Financial Services Authority) websites, annual reports of companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, and PT Pefindo website. By utilizing Multinomial Logistic Regression, this study reveals that the financial factor, the profitability, had a significant effect on the Sukuk rating. Moreover, it also shows that the non-financial factor influencing the Sukuk rating was the guarantee status. On the contrary, the variables of firm size, leverage, and types of Sukuk did not affect the Sukuk rating. Keywords: firm size, profitability, leverage, guarantee status, types of Sukuk, Sukuk rating
Utilization of Ryan White-funded mental health services and mental health functioning among people living with HIV in New York City

ABSTRACT Few studies have examined the relationship between mental health service utilization and health/mental health outcomes among people living with HIV (PLWH). Such studies are needed to inform the delivery of mental health services for this population, particularly in identifying treatment dosages that will result in clinically significant improvements. We examined the association between mental health service utilization and mental health functioning among 429 PLWH in New York City. Of these, 40% (n = 170) demonstrated an improvement in mental health functioning (≥3.5 point increase on the Mental Component Summary score on the SF-12) from program intake to the follow-up assessment. In a multivariable analysis, higher proportions of individuals with medium (38%) and high (37%) mental health service utilization levels experienced an improvement in mental health functioning, compared to those with low utilization levels (25%). Future analyses should include additional follow-up periods to assess service utilization patterns over time and their association with mental health functioning.
Perturbed mitochondria–ER contacts in live neurons that model the amyloid pathology of Alzheimer's disease

ABSTRACT The use of fixed fibroblasts from familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease patients has previously indicated an upregulation of mitochondria–ER contacts (MERCs) as a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Despite its potential significance, the relevance of these results is limited because they were not extended to live neurons. Here we performed a dynamic in vivo analysis of MERCs in hippocampal neurons from McGill-R-Thy1-APP transgenic rats, a model of Alzheimer's disease-like amyloid pathology. Live FRET imaging of neurons from transgenic rats revealed perturbed ‘lipid-MERCs’ (gap width <10 nm), while ‘Ca2+-MERCs’ (10–20 nm gap width) were unchanged. In situ TEM showed no significant differences in the lipid-MERCs:total MERCs or lipid-MERCs:mitochondria ratios; however, the average length of lipid-MERCs was significantly decreased in neurons from transgenic rats as compared to controls. In accordance with FRET results, untargeted lipidomics showed significant decreases in levels of 12 lipids and bioenergetic analysis revealed respiratory dysfunction of mitochondria from transgenic rats. Thus, our results reveal changes in MERC structures coupled with impaired mitochondrial functions in Alzheimer's disease-related neurons. This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper. Highlighted Article: Dynamic analysis of live neurons modelling Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like amyloid pathology shows loosened mitochondria-ER contacts (MERC), providing a novel perturbation of the MERC axis in AD.
