Research on “pyramid power” began in the late 1930s. To date, many documents on “pyramid power” have been published. We have been conducting scientific research on the unexplained “power” of a pyramidal structure (PS) since October 2007. The research focuses on the detection of a non-contact effect of the unexplained “power” of the PS on biosensors (i.e., edible cucumber sections of Cucumis sativus “white spine type”) placed at the top of the PS. In this paper, in particular, we compared the non-contact effect of upper and lower biosensors placed in two layers on the PS apex, and we analyzed the difference of the non-contact effect due to the difference in the layers. The magnitude of the non-contact effect was represented by the calibrated psi index Ψ(E-CAL) calculated from gas concentrations emitted from the biosensors. A method to determine the presence or absence of the non-contact effect by analyzing the gas concentrations was developed by the International Research Institute (IRI). Ψ(E-CAL), which represents the magnitude of the non-contact effect, was the average value of the respective non-contact effect of the upper and lower biosensors stacked in two layers on the PS apex. We conducted the analysis on the assumption that the non-contact effect on the upper and lower biosensors might be different. Therefore, we considered that upper and lower biosensor calibration was required for Ψ(E-CAL), and we introduced a new calibrated psi index Ψ(E-CAL)Layer. Scientifically rigorous experiments to date have detected Ψ(E-CAL) with statistical significance and have demonstrated potential power of the PS (p = 6.0 × 10; Welch’s t-test, two-tails, the following p values are also the Welch’s t-test values). Based on data demonstrating the potential power of the PS, we analyzed the non-contact effects on the upper and lower biosensors of the PS apex. We obtained a surprising result that the non-contact effect on the upper biosensors (farther from the PS) was larger than that on the lower biosensors (closer to the PS) (p = 4.0 × 10). This suggested that the characteristic of the potential power of Open Access
Edinburgh Explorer Using self-determination theory to understand motivation for walking

Objective : The motivational processes underpinning walking behaviour are not well 18 understood. This study aimed to develop walking-specific motivation measures drawn from self- 19 determination theory (SDT), assess the psychometric properties of the measures, incorporating 20 Baysesian structural equation modelling (BSEM), and examine how these variables relate to walking 21 behaviour. 22 Method: Participants (n=298; mean age=41.69; S.D.=11.06; male =57) completed the 23 Behavioural Regulations in Walking Questionnaire (BRWQ), Psychological Needs Satisfaction for 24 Walking Scale (PNSWS) and the IPAQ-long form, from which measures of workplace, transport and 25 leisure walking were extracted. BSEM was used to test the hypothesized factor structures of the 26 BRWQ and PNSWS. Internal reliabilities were assessed using the composite reliability coefficient. 27 Convergent and discriminant validity were assessed by examining the relationships between the 28 variables in relation to established theory. 29 Results: BSEM showed excellent fit for the BRWQ and PNSWS measurement models. The 30 scales demonstrated good internal consistency. The associations within and between the BRWQ and 31 PNSWS subscales were generally as expected. The relationship between the BRWQ subscales and 32 walking for transport and leisure were also generally as expected, but there were no significant 33 relationships for walking at work. Two PNSWS subscales were significantly related to walking for 34 leisure, but no significant relationships were evident for walking for transport and at work. 35 Conclusions: There is preliminary evidence for the acceptable psychometric properties of 36 instruments to measure SDT constructs in walking, and the findings highlight the advantages of 37 BSEM. The findings also suggest that the motivational processes underpinning walking may vary by 38 type of walking.
HSOA Journal of Surgery: Current Trends & Innovations Occipito-Cervical Fixation Surgical Experience

Occipito-Cervical Fixation Surgi- cal Experience. J Surg Curr Trend Innov 3: 022. Abstract Background: Occipito-cervical lesions not uncommonbut usually fatal conditions. Pain, limitation of movements, and weakness, were the main complaints of patients with upper cervical lesions. Internal fixation and fusion almost is a successful way for treatment by differ ent means. CT scan is the imaging modality of choice for evaluation. Aim: To present our surgical experience in occipito-cervical fixation using both lateral mass screws and subaxial cervical pedicle screws in different cases. Patients and Methods: We operated 14 patients, 11 with traumatic and 3 with pathologically diagnosed occipitocervical instability. From December 2016 to June 2019. Patients presented with neck pain, limitation of neck movement, and neurological deficits. The patients investigated by standard plain X ray cervical spine, CT scan and MRI cervical spine pre-operatively, and they operated thorough posterior occipito-cervical fixation rod system utilizing lateral mass screws in majority of cases and pedicle screws in some others. Results: The mean age of the studied cases was 39.7 years; trau- ma was the cause of instability in 11 patients, one with rheumatoid arthritis and two with neoplastic lesions. The mean follow up period 15 months. We used screw rod system in posterior cranio-cervical fixation with iliac bone graft and or bone substitutes utilizing lateral mass screws in majority of cases and subaxial pedicle screws in some cases without operative or post-operative complications. All our patients were improved neurologically post-operatively and no hard were failure during the follow up period. Conclusion: Craniocervical instability rare and, may be fatal condi- tion. Posterior occipito-cervical fixation when indicated can be done by various techniques. The screw rod system was the most upgraded used technique with immediate rigid fixation. Subaxial cervical pedicle screw can be utilized in certain situations with caution after thorough understanding of patient CT. Surgery in this area was possible with confident results.
Kinematics Measurement and Power Requirements of Fruitﬂies at Various Flight Speeds

: Energy expenditure is a critical characteristic in evaluating the ﬂight performance of ﬂying insects. To investigate how the energy cost of small-sized insects varies with ﬂight speed, we measured the detailed wing and body kinematics in the full speed range of fruitﬂies and computed the aerodynamic forces and power requirements of the ﬂies. As ﬂight speed increases, the body angle decreases and the stroke plane angle increases; the wingbeat frequency only changes slightly; the geometrical angle of attack in the middle upstroke increases; the stroke amplitude ﬁrst decreases and then increases. The mechanical power of the fruitﬂies at all ﬂight speeds is dominated by aerodynamic power (inertial power is very small), and the magnitude of aerodynamic power in upstroke increases signiﬁcantly at high ﬂight speeds due to the increase of the drag and the ﬂapping velocity of the wing. The speciﬁc power (power required for ﬂight divided by insect weigh) changes little when the advance ratio is below about 0.45 and afterwards increases sharply. That is, the speciﬁc power varies with ﬂight speed according to a J-shaped curve, unlike those of aircrafts, birds and large-sized insects which vary with ﬂight speed according to a U-shaped curve. consisting of three high-speed cameras, a customized low-speed open-jet wind tunnel and other visual controlling devices was designed to capture the forward ﬂight of fruitﬂies. The wing and body kinematics at multiple speeds of four fruitﬂies ﬂying in their full speed range were successfully measured, and the maximum ﬂight speed obtained was about 2 m / s, reaching the limiting ﬂight speed of fruitﬂy. The kinematic results show that, as ﬂight speed increases, the body angle decreases and the stroke plane angle increases; the ﬂuctuation of the wingbeat frequency is small; the geometrical angle of attack in the middle upstroke increases while in the middle downstroke almost remains unchanged; the stroke amplitude decreases ﬁrst and then increases; the mean stroke angle increases in the speed range of V ∞ ≈ 0–0.7 m / s but remains unchanged and even decreases a little at higher ﬂight speeds; the ratio of downstroke duration to upstroke duration increases. The aerodynamic forces and power requirement at each ﬂight speed were computed using CFD method. It is shown that the mechanical power is dominated by aerodynamic power, and the magnitude of aerodynamic power in upstroke increases signiﬁcantly at high ﬂight speeds due to the increase of the drag and the ﬂapping velocity of the wing. The overall data of the speciﬁc powers of the four fruitﬂies as function of advance ratio shows that the speciﬁc power only changes a little when the advance ratio is below about 0.45 and afterwards increases sharply. That is, the energy consumption of the fruitﬂies varies with ﬂight speed according to a J-shaped curve.
The Implementation of Controlling in Nursing Care Management Regarding Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Bundles on Post Heart Surgery Patient in Intensive Care Unit

Control in the nursing care management for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) bundles of post-cardiac surgery patients is related to using predetermined standards and actions taken to correct mismatches between standards and actual performance. The purpose of this study was to apply the identification of controls in the nursing care unit to the VAP collection in the intensive care unit. Design research using quasi-experiments before and after with the control group. The population in this study was nurses invited to pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The number of samples was 32 people, divided into two groups consisting of intervention and control, taken by purposive sampling technique and General Linear Model Repeat Measure (GLM-RM) analysis method. The results of this study were analyzed by the dependent t-test. Dependent t-test results obtained in the average VAP bundle before the intervention were 3.3462 and after the intervention were 3.8362 with an average change of 0.41707 andp-value (0,000) < (0.05). The application of controls in the nursing care management to the VAP bundle in accordance with the Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) emphasizes better accountability in providing nursing care to patients who are fitted with work safety and improves the actual performance of officers. Implement the control of a part of a continuous improvement strategy in quality control of special health services in relation to pneumatic infections installed in mechanical facilities in the Intensive Care Unit.
Marek’s Disease Virus Expresses Multiple UL44 (gC) Variants through mRNA Splicing That Are All Required for Efﬁcient Horizontal Transmission

Marek’s disease (MD) is a devastating oncogenic viral disease of chickens caused by Gallid herpesvirus 2 , or MD virus (MDV). MDV glycoprotein C (gC) is encoded by the alphaherpesvirus UL44 homolog and is essential for the horizontal transmission of MDV (K. W. Jarosinski and N. Osterrieder, J. Virol. 84:7911-7916, 2010). Alphaherpesvirus gC proteins are type 1 membrane proteins and are generally anchored in cellular membranes and the virion envelope by a short transmembrane domain. How-ever, the majority of MDV gC is secreted in vitro , although secondary-structure analyses predict a carboxy-terminal transmembrane domain. In this report, two alternative mRNA splice variants were identiﬁed by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR analyses, and the encoded proteins were predicted to specify premature stop codons that would lead to gC proteins that lack the transmembrane domain. Based on the size of the intron removed for each UL44 (gC) transcript, they were termed gC104 and gC145. Recombinant MDV viruses were generated in which only full-length viral gC (vgCfull), gC104 (vgC104), or gC145 (vgC145) was expressed. Predictably, gCfull was expressed predominantly as a membrane-associated protein, while both gC104 and gC145 were secreted, suggesting that the dominant gC variants expressed in vitro are the spliced variants. In experimentally infected chickens, the expression of each of the gC variants individually did not alter

1Department of Pharmacy, University of Virginia Health, Charlottesville, VA, USA; 2Department of Pharmacy, James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, Columbus, OH, USA; 3Department of Pharmacy Practice, Jefferson College of Pharmacy, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA Abstract: The care of older patients with cancer is becoming increasingly complex. Common challenges for this population include management of comorbidities, safe transitions of care, and appropriate medication use. In particular, polypharmacy—generally defined as the regular use of five or more medications—and inappropriate medication use can lead to adverse effects and poor outcomes in older adults with cancer, including falls, hospital readmissions, cognitive impairment, poor adherence to essential medications, chemotherapy toxicity, and increased mortality. Managing polypharmacy across different cancer care settings is often challenging. Providers face barriers to safe and successful medication management that may include lack of time, absence of reimbursement, underappreciation of the scale of polypharmacy-related harm, lack of ownership of deprescribing efforts, and poor communication across care settings. Existing literature on managing inappropriate medication use and polypharmacy in older adults with cancer has often focused on ideal state settings in which resources are plentiful and time is purposefully allocated for medication interventions. This paper presents a narrative, rather than a systematic review, of studies published in the past decade that provided detailed information on medication management and polypharmacy across cancer care settings. This review aims to also summarize different healthcare provider roles in taking action against inappropriate medication use and polypharmacy in older adults with cancer.
Comparative investigation of using DEB oil and supercharging syngas and DEB oil as a dual fuel in a DI diesel engine

Improving diesel oil properties for the reduction of hazardous pollution and decreasing depletion of petroleum liquid fuel leads to the use of alternative fuels, especially ethanol and syngas fuels, developed for use in diesel engines. This research aims to investigate the effects of using diesel oil mixed with ethanol and emulsified butanol oil (DEB oil) and dual fuel (supercharged syngas combined with DEB oil) on engine performance and emissions in a three-cylinder direct injection (DI) diesel engine. The engine was connected to a generator and tested at various speeds at full load. The results of using DEB oil compared to diesel oil showed that it had fuel properties similar to diesel oil, with better engine performance and reduced pollution emissions, i.e., CO 2 , CO, and black smoke. Syngas was generated with a downdraft gasifier using charcoal. It was compressed to increase the gas flow rate from 76 to 125 lpm, combined with DEB oil and used as dual fuel. The results of engine testing compared DEB alone and diesel oils. They indicated that DEB oil and supercharged syngas as a dual fuel had higher engine performance. Moreover, compressing syngas at 125 lpm compared with using DEB oil alone at an engine speed 1600 rpm and full load found that the fuel-savings increased by 25.85% and 23.53%, respectively. Conversely, some emissions were greatly increased with greater syngas quantities and engine speeds.
INFLUENCING FACTORS AND PATIENTS BEHAVIOR REGARDING DIABETIC FOOT SYNDROME (DFS)

: Objective: The aim of our study was to analyze the behavior of diabetes patients regarding foot care and to find out the factors of influence. Study Design: A cross sectional descriptive study. Place and Duration: The study was held in Bahawal Victoria Hospital (BVH), Bahawalpur of one year starting from May,2018 to April, 2019. Methodology: Selected a total number of 400 patients of diabetes either hospitalized or visiting OPD of hospital. Took the approval from ethical committee of the hospital. Verbal consent was taken from all the patients during interview. We used Nottingham Assessment of Functional Footcare (NAFF) scale for the assessment of footcare behavior of the patients. The scoring of more than 50 was considered satisfactory for footcare behavior. This scoring was linked with numerous variables. We used SPSS 20 for analysis of data. Results: We selected 400 patients of diabetes either hospitalized or visiting OPD of Bahawal-Victoria hospital Bahawalpur. Gender distribution of males and females was as 162 (40.5%) and 238 (59.5%) respectively. We calculated 52.71±11.84 years as Mean±SD age of all selected patients. There were 228(57%) patients who didn’t get any knowledge or education about proper footcare. The patients who scored ≤ 50 according to NAFF scale were 289(72.3%) in number. Significant factors related with better footcare behavior were prior foot-care knowledge given by the doctor, previous diabetes history of family, educational level, monthly income and locality of rural or urban area with the P value of less than 0.05 for each. Conclusion: In this cross-sectional study we concluded that most of the patients were not having sufficient knowledge and practices about diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) because of which observed poor footcare behaviour and it was considerably linked with influencing factors like former footcare knowledge given by doctors, diabetic history in family, monthly income, educational level, urban and rural back ground.
REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF THE FLATTENED PORCELAIN ……. REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF THE FLATTENED PORCELAIN CRAB, PETROLISTHES RUFESCENS (PORCELLANIDAE: ANOMURA: CRUSTACEA) FROM AIN SUKHNA, GULF OF SUEZ, EGYPT

The reproductive biology of the porcelain crab Petrolisthes rufescens (Heller, 1861) population at Ain Sukhna (62 km south Suez City) was studied during the period from April 2000 to May 2001. Sexual dimorphism was determined based on morphological differences between sexes. Abdomen is semi-circular with four pairs of biramous appendages in females, but tapering with only two pairs of unequal uniramous appendages (pleopds) in males. Size at first maturity was determined using allometric growth occurring at puberty from the relationships between male's 2 nd pleopodal length and chelae length against carapace length (C.L.) and by the appearance of distinctive ovaries in females. Overall sex ratio for this crab species was 1: 0.70 males to females, with highly significant Chi-square value (X 2 = 7.486, P< 0.05, df =1). It was not constant throughout the year particularly during breeding seasons, showing highly significant Chi-square value (X 2 = 20.185, df= 25, P < 0.05). Based on the appearance of ovigerous females, the breeding of P. rufescens is lengthy, start often at late winter and early spring and extends through summer to early autumn. Incubated eggs are oval or semi-oval, sometimes elliptical with polygonal surfaces, and varied in size from 400 to 1000  m with an average of 640 ± 105  m. These eggs are passed through five stages of maturation, and showed remarkably gradual decreasing in size throughout the period of incubation, reaching the minimum at last stages (stage V or the releasing larvae). The color of incubated eggs is also changed from bright yellow in newly laid eggs to grey at the last stage of development. The fecundity of ovigerous females was relatively low, varied from 35 to 450 with an average of 208 ± 92 eggs /female crab. It was correlated by a curvilinear relationship with carapace
Di ﬀ erential Inﬂuence of No-Tillage and Precipitation Pulses on Soil Heterotrophic and Autotrophic Respiration of Summer Maize in the North China Plain

: It is important to strengthen the studies on the response of soil respiration components to tillage practices and natural precipitation in cropland. Therefore, soil heterotrophic respiration (R H ) and autotrophic (R A ) respiration were monitored by a root exclusion method in the North China Plain (NCP). The tillage practices included no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT), and the study periods were the summer maize growth stages in 2018 and 2019. R H , R A , soil water content and temperature were measured continuously for 113 days by an automatic sampling and analysis system. The soil R H values on bright days and rain-a ﬀ ected days were higher under NT in 2018 (14.22 and 15.06 g CO 2 m − 2 d − 1 , respectively) than in 2019 (8.25 and 13.30 g CO 2 m − 2 d − 1 , respectively). However, the R A values on bright days and rain-a ﬀ ected days were lower under NT in 2018 (4.74 and 4.97 g CO 2 m − 2 d − 1 , respectively) than in 2019 (5.67 and 6.93 g CO 2 m − 2 d − 1 , respectively). Moreover, NT decreased R H but increased R A compared to CT in 2019. Compared to bright days, the largest increase in both R H and R A after rain pulses was under CT in 2019 (6.75 and 1.80 g CO 2 m − 2 d − 1 , respectively). Soil water content and soil temperature were higher in 2018 than in 2019. Moreover, NT increased soil water content and decreased soil temperature on bright days compared to CT in 2019. Furthermore, soil temperature accounted for more variations in R H on bright days and rain-a ﬀ ected days, but soil water content had a greater inﬂuence on R A on bright days. However, after precipitation, higher soil water content decreased R A under NT in 2018, while soil water content was positively related to R A under CT in 2019. This study determined the di ﬀ erential response of R H and R A to tillage practices and natural precipitation pulses, and we conﬁrmed that excessively dry soil increases soil carbon loss after rain events in the NCP.
Geothermal constraints from kimberlite-hosted garnet lherzolites from southern Greenland

Introduction Geothermobarometry calculations applied to kimberlite-hosted mantle xenoliths can provide information about mantle conditions at the time of kimberlite emplacement. Constraining the mantle geotherm is also useful for understanding the diamond potential of host magma. Considerable numbers of diamonds have been recovered from rocks within the Archean Craton in southern West Greenland (Jensen et al., 2004; Hutchison, 2005; Hutchison et al., this volume; Sand et al., this volume, Fig. 1). However, kimberlites and related rocks are known from a wide area covering much of West and South-West Greenland (Larsen et al., 1992; Andrews et al., 1975, Emeleus et al., 1975).
