Disentangling genes , attachment , and environment

The role of genetics in relation to attachment is of continued interest to developmental psychology. Recent research has attempted to disentangle genetic main effects, environmental effects, and gene and environment (GxE) interactions in the development of attachment security /insecurity and disorganization. We systematically reviewed associations between gene markers and attachment, including GxE interactions, identifying 27 eligible studies. Inconsistent results emerged for associations between both gene effects and GxE interactions on attachment organization. Where GxE interactions used attachment as the environmental factor in the interaction, we observed more consistent results for differential susceptibility of GxE interactions on offspring behavior. Small sample size and heterogeneity in measurement of environmental factors impacted on comparability of studies. From these results we propose that the future of research into the role of genetic effects in attachment, lies in further exploration of GxE interactions, particularly where attachment acts as an environmental factor impacting on other child developmental outcomes emerging from the caregiving environment, consistent with differential susceptibility approaches to developmental psychopathology. Importantly, from a methodological perspective, establishing the role of gene markers in such models will require a shift towards contemporary genomics, including genome wide analysis (including novel genes and chromosomal loci), and epigenetic individual variations.

An Electric Vehicle with Novel Powertrain

The modular multilever series parallel converter (MMSPC) is a new power supply topology which has a broad set of applications in power electronics including medical, audio, transmission, and motor ﬁelds. This research focuses on the use of an MMSPC system for brushless DC (BLDC) motor control. The chief advantages of modular multilever converter (MMC) systems in BLDC motor control hinge on their abilities to generate better granularity in voltage by dynamically reconnecting battery power supplies to generate true analog voltages at very high powers. The MMSPC topology extends upon this advantage by providing auto-balancing capabilities. In this paper, the design and implementation of the MMSPC-motor system is described as well as algorithms for the control of the motor including rotor angle estimation from hall sensor inputs and ﬁeld oriented control.

ADVANCED PWM SCHEMES FOR 3-PHASE CASCADED H-BRIDGE 5-LEVEL INVERTERS

A multilevel inverter is a power electronic device that is used for high voltage and high power applications such as flexible AC transmission systems, uninterruptible power supplies and PV systems and their performance is better to that of conventional two-level inverters due to higher number of dc voltage sources, reduced harmonic distortion and lower EMI. A Carrier phase-sifted PWM technique is used for the proposed multilevel inverter because it offers great advantages such as is improved output voltage waveforms, minimize total harmonic distortion, and control EMI when compared with other PWM techniques. The performance evaluation of a five level cascaded multilevel inverter (MLI) using advance pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques for constant switching frequency (CSF) operation are presented in this paper. Multilevel inverter operation for CFO with Phase disposition (PD), Phase opposition disposition (POD), Alternate phase opposition disposition (APOD) PWM control methods is simulated in MATLAB. Also variations in MLI performance parameters such as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in output voltage, peak 1 International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Volume 120 No. 6 2018, 7795-7807 ISSN: 1314-3395 (on-line version) url: http://www.acadpubl. eu/hub/ Special Issue http://www.acadpubl. eu/hub/
Development of an Oxcarbazepine Solid Dispersion Using Skimmed Milk to Improve the Solubility and Dissolution Profile

Oxcarbazepine has low solubility and low oral bioavailability, so it’s a challenge to formulate suitable dosage form. In this present investigation, to improve the dissolution rate and solubility, skimmed milk is used as a carrier. Physical mixers were prepared using various drugs to carrier ratio and spray drying technology was used to develop solid dispersion with the carrier. Various techniques were used to characterize the solid dispersion immediately after they were made which includes differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infra- red spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and in-vitro dissolution profiles. The differential scanning calorimetry thermograms of raw drug indicated of its anhydrous crystalline nature. In thermograms of solid dispersion, the characteristic peak was absent suggesting the change from crystalline nature to amorphous form. X-ray diffraction confirmed those results. X-ray diffraction results of raw drug showed highly intense peak characteristic of its crystalline nature where solid dispersion showed less intense, more diffused peak indicating the change in crystalline form. Fourier transforms infra-red spectroscopy studies showed there was no interaction between drug and carrier. Scanning electron microscopy support the amorphous nature of mixer. The whole formulation showed distinct enhancement in the drug release behavior and solubility. The optimum oxcarbazepine to skimmed milk ratio 1:3 enhances the in-vitro drug release by 3.5 fold and also show distinct increase in solubility. It was concluded that for improvement of solubility of poorly water soluble oxcarbazepine, skimmed milk powder as a carrier can be utilize very well.
Leistungssteigerung von Patienten-Monitoring durch Compressive Sensing

Chronic diseases like those related to the cardiovascular system are among the most common causes of death worldwide, as are chronic obstructive diseases of the lung (COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). In most cases, the disease progression can be slowed down, yet there is no way to stop it. To this end, strict therapy compliance, along with the continuous monitoring of vital parameters, appears crucial. With the development of connected terminal devices and progress made in information technologies over the past years, continuous patient monitoring is now possible without requiring costly hospitalizations. In the best-case scenario, this translates into improved, or at least not deteriorated, quality of life for the patients, with only a minor impact on their daily life. The COMPASS 1 (COntinuous multi-variate Monitoring of Patients Affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary diSeaSe) project seeks to develop a personal health system (PHS) that is capable of continuously monitoring vital parameters and compressing patient data, while ensuring interoperability and patient safety, in addition to providing prognostic information. This article presents a novel approach to combining interoperability with HL7 standards whilst simultaneously ensuring data compression via compressive sensing.
INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR LEHIPA

The Low Energy High Intensity Proton Accelerator (LEHIPA) is a 20 MeV 30 mA proton accelerator which will be achieved in multiple stages [1]. LEHIPA consists of several sub systems/devices located at different positions of the beam path which includes ION source, RF Power, RF Protection Interlock System, Low Conductivity Water plant, Low Level RF control Systems, Vacuum System, Beam Diagnostics & Beam Line Devices. All these subsystems have their own local control systems (LCS) which will coordinate the operation of the corresponding subsystem. The control system for LEHIPA is thus being designed as a Distributed Control System with different teams developing each LCS. The control system will assist the operator to achieve a beam of desired characteristics by interacting with various sub systems of the accelerator in a seamless manner, protect the various parts of machine by generating the necessary interlocks, keep track of various parameters monitored periodically by suitably archiving them, alarms annunciation and trouble shoot from the control room. This paper describes approach to system design of ICS.
Depth Estimation from Monocular Image with Sparse Known Labels

Estimating depth information from a single view is an important problem in image understanding. Recently, computer vision has witnessed a series of breakthrough results introduced by deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and deep CNN has increasingly been explored for depth estimation [3]. Estimating depth from a single monocular image is a technically ill-posed problem, as a single image may correspond to an infinite number of real-world scenes. The inherent ambiguity of the task determines that it is impossible to predict accurate depth from monocular vision. However, if we can sparsely know a few depth values in the environment via other more reliable sensors such as laser radar, and combine these values as prior information with the vision model, the ambiguity can be significantly reduced to estimate the depth value of the whole scene. 1-line 2D laser radar (e.g. LMS111, nearly 5% of the price of velodyne HDL-64E) has the property of simple structure, low power consumption and low price. It is widely equipped on some robots or autonomous vehicles for range measurement. When the points scanned by the radar are projected to the 2D image plane, they are on a nearly horizontal straight line. It is a low cost solution to combine a 1-line 2D laser radar with a camera, where we can use the 1-line laser radar to acquire sparse depth values (only one row pixels in an image) with high confidence. The sparse known values can be considered as prior information, and we propose to leverage them to reduce the ambiguity of the mapping between a single RGB image and its corresponding depth map. By using these known labels, we can provide our model a few relatively accurate depth value as a reference, and largely narrow down the range of reasonable depth value of other pixels. To fuse the prior information in the procedure of learning and inference of our model, we present a new approach for depth estimation from a single image. We estimate depth map using a deep CNN by two steps: Firstly, we estimate a relative depth map using fully convolutional residual network (FRCN) with multi-scale supervised loss layer. Secondly, a fully connected layer is deployed to fuse Figure 1. Examples of depth estimation results.

Phylogenetic Analysis of Infectious Bronchitis Viruses Currently Circulating in the Egyptian Field

One of the major problems of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is the frequent emergence of new variants in the Egyptian field. In the present study, 42 broiler chicken flocks suffered from respiratory troubles were investigated for infectious bronchitis virus in 10 Governorates in Egypt during 2016-2018. Ten out of 42 examined flocks revealed variable degrees of embryo lesions after 3-5 passages with negative heamagglutination (HA) activity. From these 10 flocks, IBV was confirmed in six flocks using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. Four IBV-positive isolates were selected for further sequence analysis. Partial sequencing of S1 gene revealed four IBV variant-2 isolates circulating among chickens in Egypt. These isolates are IB-Beh-Ch-F2-2016, IB-Sh-Ch-F25-2017, IB-Sh-Ch-F41-2018 and IB-Sh-Ch-F42-2018 and submitted on Gen Bank with accession numbers MH460643, MH460644, MK408615 and MK408616, respectively. The IB-Sh-Ch-F25-2017 isolate had only one amino acid substitution while IB-Beh-Ch-F2-2016, IB-Sh-Ch-F41-2018 and IB-Sh-Ch-F42-2018 isolates had much higher genetic diversity. The similarity between classic viruses of vaccine origin used in Egypt (H120, Ma5) and our four filed isolates ranged between 75.7 and 80.4%. It could be concluded that IB variant-2 strains still circulate in the Egyptian field in spite of vaccination. Therefore we need to revise the IBV vaccines used in Egypt and try to prepare local vaccines with periodic evaluation of cross protection of such vaccines.
An Exploration in L2 Word Embedding Alignment

Employ adversarial training to learn without parallel data X, Y [1]. The general performance is extremely poor. Possible reasons: The Effect of Corpus Size and Vocabulary Size Compare 880K to 480K experiments, more data is likely beneficial to the alignment performance. But compare wiki-wiki (full) to wiki-wiki, larger corpus is indeed critical in that it provides larger vocabulary size. The Effect of Training Epochs The performance stops improving within 20 epochs. Training for longer may not be helpful. The Effect of Corpus Choice Key factor! wik-crawl does not show promising results even though it is trained from a large corpus. Wikipedia corpus is naturally aligned and is the most ideal corpus for this task, regardless of whether our hypothesis holds. The Effect of Word Embedding Methods Word2vec is generally better than fastText. The best performance from wiki-wiki (full) may be further improved by using word2vec models. Analysis
Antimicrobial Investigation of CuO and ZnO Nanoparticles Prepared by a Rapid Combustion Method

In recent years, fabrication of metal oxide nanoparticles is intensively gaining the interest of various chemists as well as biochemist due to their applications in different fields. Among all the transition metal oxides, CuO and ZnO are the important metal oxide nanoparticles exhibiting tremendous properties and a wide range of applications. Both CuO and ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by combustion method effectively with very less time. The combustion of copper (II) nitrate and urea at stoichiometric ratio results in CuO nanoparticles. Similarly, combustion of zinc (II) nitrate and urea at stoichiometric ratio results in ZnO nanoparticles. Both CuO and ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction to study the different phases present in them. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to study the microstructure and the composition of prepared metal oxide nanoparticles was studied by using energy dispersive spectroscopy attached to SEM. The optical studies were carried out by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Particle size analyzer is used to determine the mean average particle size of prepared metal oxide nanoparticles. CuO and ZnO NPs were applied to gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria using Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) assay and demonstrated an essential antibacterial effect.
COMPARISON AND ANALYSIS OF IT PROJECT RISK ASSESSMENT MODEL METHODS : PROPOSED ENTROPY RISK ASSESSMENT METHOD WITH MANUAL CALCULATION METHOD AND FUZZY TECHNIQUE BASED RISK ASSESSMENT

Software Development of projects encounter varied risks which influence project success adversely. Current status of projects indicates crucial need of an effective risk assessment model and methods which can identify and assess risks better. A software project risk assessment model based on three approaches viz. manual calculation, fuzzy method and entropy based is proposed. An earlier paper on entropy method indicates its merits and proposed this method for effective risk assessment. In this paper a comparison of the results of risk assessment via above three methods is made and analyses of the results indicating their significances. These three methods were implemented through spreadsheets and program algorithm implementations and thus the results obtained and analyzed. The risk assessment model and all the three methods can be helpful to the software development project managers and their teams, since the entropy method can give them ease of usage & implementation, fast calculations, accuracy of results of their software development project risk assessment effectively.

MATURITY RELATED VARIATION IN ANAEROBIC PERFORMANCE AMONG YOUNG MALE ATHLETES AND NONATHLETES

The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of maturation and regular sport participation on anaerobic performance variables of 11-to 15-year-old young male athletes and non-athletes. One hundred fifty young male subjects were voluntarily participated in this study. Trained boys (n=75), comprised of 27 Handball, 26 Soccer and 22 Volleyball players, had been training regularly for at least one year. However, untrained boys (n=75) were not involved in any systematic training program. Participants were also divided into five maturity groups according to Tanner’s stages. Body mass and stature were determined. Percentage of body fat and fat free mass were also calculated from the appropriate equations. Anaerobic performance was evaluated with the Wingate Anaerobic Test. Two-way Analysis of Variance (2x5) with Tukey’s-HSD was used for statistical analysis. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were also computed. The results revealed that absolute anaerobic performance variables were highly positively correlated with body mass and fat free mass, significantly increase with maturation (p<0.01). Maturation effect on anaerobic performance variables remained even when body mass and fat free mass were factored out (p<0.01). The trained boys have higher anaerobic performance values and relatively steeper increase with maturation compared to untrained group. Finally, there were no interaction effects between maturation and training groups on any of the variables. In conclusion, variations in anaerobic performance levels are partly determined by factors other than body mass or fat free mass. This finding may be due, in part, to the maturation-related functional and metabolic changes in skeletal muscle.
Self-calibrated Digital-to-Analog Converter for Communication Applications , in a 40 nm CMOS Technology

A 12-bit current steering CMOS digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is described, with optimized performance for Communication Applications. The scope of this work is develop and implement an algorithm that operates the calibration required for communications DAC, allowing to achieve high performances, maintaining areas and competitive consumption. The optimal switching here reported is a new switching scheme for communications systems like Orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing (OFDM) that have an average level of signal significantly below the full scale. The digital block was implemented in Verilog-A and the converter performed in a 40 nm Complementary Metal-OxideSemiconductor (CMOS) technology. The DAC uses a voltage supply of 1.8V/1.1V ± 10%, a sample frequency of fs = 320MHz and a specifications of INL and DNL of 1LSB.
Evaluation of Topical Cyclosporine in Preventing the Development of Corneal Haze after Photorefractive Keratectomy

Abstract : The purpose of this study was to determine if topical cyclosporine A, when added to the standard post-operative regimen, leads to a reduction in the formation of haze and better visual acuity outcomes in patients after photorefractive keratectomy. This randomized, controlled trial took 120 patients and randomized each to have one eye receive the standard regimen and the fellow eye receive the standard regimen with the addition of topical cyclosporine A twice daily for 6 months. Patients were followed for 1 year after surgery and, at each visit, had uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, slit lamp haze, and pentacam haze measured. Data were then analyzed using a paired T-test in Microsoft excel to determine significance. There were no statistically significant differences in any of the metrics measured in this study at any of the follow-up visits with the exception of the average time it took patients to reach 20/40 (legal to drive) vision. Eyes that received cyclosporine in addition to the standard regimen reached 20/40 on average at 1.8 weeks post-op, while eyes that received only the standard regimen took 1.9 weeks (p=0.04). While this is statistically significant, it is unlikely clinically significant with only 0.1 week difference on average between the 2 groups. This finding is important in that it demonstrates that the addition of topical cyclosporine (which some refractive surgeons often employ in their post-operative regiments) to our standard post-operative regimen does not improve visual outcomes out to 12 months after surgery and also does not decrease corneal haze. This is especially important because it provides evidence that topical cyclosporine does not provide a clinically significant advantage worth the additional cost of the medication.
Ultrasound Promotes Callus Mineralization During Fracture Healing in a Disuse Rat Model

INTRODUCTION: Osteoporosis and osteopenia are diseases, which affect a large percentage of the population, mostly in elderly. They are characterized by an increased risk of fracture at critical skeletal sites, e.g., hip and spine. Complications associated with healing include nonunion and decreased quality of life. Low energy mechanical stimulation, e.g., using low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), can accelerate remodeling and healing of fractures in bone. It is effective at resolving all types of nonunion, accelerates in vivo all stages of the fracture repair process: inflammation, soft callus formation, hard callus formation. [1-3] The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential for LIPUS to accelerate fracture healing under disuse conditions using hindlimb suspension (HLS) rats.
