A Systematic Review of Right Ventricular Diastolic Assessment by 4D Flow CMR

Background Four-dimensional flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (4D flow CMR) is a noninvasive novel imaging technology that can be used to visualise and assess right ventricular function. The aim of this systematic review is to summarise the literature available on 4D flow CMR methods used to determine right ventricular diastolic function. Methods A systematic review of current literature was carried out to ascertain what is known about right ventricular assessment by quantification of 4D flow CMR. Structured searches were carried out on Medline and EMBASE in December 2018. PG and NB screened the titles and abstracts for relevance. Results Of the 20 articles screened, 5 studies met eligibility for systematic review. After a further search on pubmed 1 more relevant article was found and added to the review. Conclusions These proposed methods using 4D flow CMR can quantify right ventricular diastolic assessment. The evidence gathered is mainly observational, featuring single-centred studies. Larger, multicentre studies are required to validate the proposed techniques, evaluate reproducibility, and investigate the clinical applicability that 4D flow CMR offers compared to standard practices. PROSPERO registration number is CRD42019121492.
All in thirty milliseconds: EEG evidence of hierarchical and asymmetric phonological encoding of vowels

How the brain encodes the speech acoustic signal into phonological representations (distinctive features) is a fundamental question for the neurobiology of language. Whether this process is characterized by tonotopic maps in primary or secondary auditory areas, with bilateral or leftward activity, remains a long-standing challenge. Magnetoencephalographic and ECoG studies have previously failed to show hierarchical and asymmetric hints for speech processing. We employed high-density electroencephalography to map the Salento Italian vowel system onto cortical sources using the N1 auditory evoked component. We found evidence that the N1 is characterized by hierarchical and asymmetric indexes structuring vowels representation. We identified them with two N1 subcomponents: the typical N1 (N1a) peaking at 125-135 ms and localized in the primary auditory cortex bilaterally with a tangential distribution and a late phase of the N1 (N1b) peaking at 145-155 ms and localized in the left superior temporal gyrus with a radial distribution. Notably, we showed that the processing of distinctive feature representations begins early in the primary auditory cortex and carries on in the superior temporal gyrus along lateral-medial, anterior-posterior and inferior-superior gradients. It is the dynamical interface of both auditory cortices and the interaction effects between different distinctive features that generate the categorical representations of vowels.

The Effect of Sustainability Reporting on Profitability of Quoted Consumer Goods Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria

This study aims to: examine the effect of both (i) social disclosures, (ii) environmental disclosures, (iii) economic disclosures on the profitability of listed consumer goods manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The sample of this study comprises of 15 out of 23 consumer goods manufacturing companies in Nigeria based on secondary data from 2009 to 2018. The hypotheses were tested with t-test statistics. The results suggest that economic and social performance disclosures have an insignificant positive impact on both earnings per share and return on equity, whereas, environmental disclosures have a strong positive and significant effects only on earnings per share. Furthermore, sustainability reporting had a positive and significant impact on the profitability of selected companies. It was recommended that companies publish useful sustainability reports as this would improve their profitability.
Obtención de péptidos antimicrobianos recombinantes derivados de Moringa oleífera Lam. y Enterococcus sp.

35 36 The use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) synthesized by bacteria (bacteriocins) is an 37 alternative for combating multidrug resistant bacterial strains and their production by 38 recombinant route is a viable option for their mass production. The bacteriocin E-760 39 isolated from the genus Enterococcus sp. has been shown to possess inhibitory activity 40 against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In this study, the expression of a 41 chimeric protein coding for E-760 in the nucleus of C. reinhardtii was evaluated, as well 42 as, its antibacterial activity. The synthetic gene E-760S was inserted into the genome of C. 43 reinhardtii using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. A transgenic line was identified in TAP 44 medium with hygromycin and by PCR. The increment in the culture medium temperature 45 of the transgenic strain at 35 °C for 10 min, increased the production level of the 46 recombinant protein from 0.14 (uninduced culture) to 0.36% of total soluble proteins 47 (TSP); this was quantified by an ELISA assay. Recombinant E-760 possesses activity 48 against Staphylococcus aureus in 0.34 U log, Staphylococcus agalactiae in 0.48 U log, 49 Enterococcus faecium in 0.36 U log, Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 2 U log and for 50 Klebsiella pneumoniae, the activity was 0.07 U log. These results demonstrate that the 51 nucleus transformation of C. reinhardtii can function as a stable expression platform for the 52 production of the synthetic gene E-760 and it can potentially be used as an antibacterial 53 agent. 54 55
Accurate Exercise Recommendation Based on Multidimension -al Feature Analysis

With the rapid development of the Internet, online learning has developed rapidly, and learners are increasingly demanding the personalization and practicality of exercise. Facing the massive exercises in the online learning platform and the online examination system, how to choose the exercises that can be targeted and can make up for the knowledge loopholes has become a hot topic in the field of personalized recommendation of current teaching resources. In view of the fact that learners have a variety of learning features, and there are a large number of online exercises, various types and varying degrees of difficulty, this paper proposes a precise recommendation method based on Multidimensional features analysis for exercises. It quantifies the potential relationship between the learner and the exercise from three aspects: the heat of the exercise itself, the relevance of the knowledge among the exercises, and the similarity of the learner’s style, using the linear combination and the Learning to Rank method to build the recommendation model to match learner and exercises exactly. Experiments show that the mean average precision of the ReMFA method reaches 36.8% when recommending five candidate exercises, which can provide learners with personalized exercise recommendation services, thereby improving the learner’s learning efficiency.

Semantic Parsing of Action Text for Text-to-Scene Conversion

Understanding the action text is the main problem of dynamic scene generation in text-to-scene conversion. However, the existing basic research about it is still lacking, and its semantic parsing method is not perfect. Therefore, based on the idea of action chain structure, the formal expression of it is established on the basis of defining action text, classifying action text and analysing the features of action text. The method of action text semantic parsing is proposed combing with the action text semantic dictionary. The experimental results show that the method completes the semantic parsing for the action text to a certain extent and provides a reference for computer to understand the semantic of action text.
Improving the Safety Performance of Workers by Assessing the Impact of Safety Culture on Workers’ Safety Behaviour in Nigeria Oil and Gas Industry: A Pilot Study in the Niger Delta Region

: Interest in the development of appropriate safety culture in the oil and gas industry has taken centre stage among stakeholders in the industry. Human behaviour has been identified as a major contributor to occupational accidents, where abnormal activities associated with safety management are taken as normal behaviour. Poor safety culture is one of the major factors that influence employee&rsquo;s safety behaviour at work, which may consequently result in injuries and accidents and strengthening such a culture can improve workers safety performance. Nigeria oil and gas industry has contributed to the growth and development of the country in diverse ways. However, in terms of safety and health of workers, this industry is a dangerous place to work as workers are often exposed to occupational safety and health hazard. To ascertain the impact of employees&rsquo; safety and how it impacts health and safety compliance within the local industry, online safety culture survey targeting frontline workers within the industry was administered covering major subjects that include; perception of management commitment and style of leadership; safety communication method and its resultant impact on employees&rsquo; behaviour; employee safety commitment and training needs. The preliminary result revealed that 54% of the participants feel that there is a lack of motivation from the management to work safely. In addition, 55% of participants revealed that employers place more emphasis on work delivery over employee&rsquo;s safety on the installation. It is expected that the study outcome will provide measures aimed at strengthening and sustaining safety culture in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
Tolerant varieties and exogenous application of nutrients can effectively manage drought stress in rice

ABSTRACT Common abiotic stresses in rain-fed rice areas like drought can occur at any phase of crop growth and may occur periodically. Variation in intensity and severity of drought requires the use of different rice varieties and different nutrient management strategies. This study evaluated the morphological and physiological response of contrasting rice cultivars (Rajalaxmi, IR64, and Sahbhagidhan) to various nutrient combinations under water sufficience and scarce conditions. Drought stress at vegetative stage significantly reduced tiller formation, dry matter remobilization, and photosynthesis, leading to around 41.6% yield reduction. The effect of drought stress was more evident in Rajalaxmi and IR64 by a yield reduction of 57.4% and 43.2% as against only 24.3% in Sahbhagidhan. The combined application of nutrients resulted in higher proline accumulation, chlorophyll and carbohydrate concentrations, and photosynthesis and antioxidant enzymes, ultimately better tolerance to drought. This is reflected in higher values of tolerance indices and low scores of leaf drying and leaf rolling, especially for Sahbhagidhan. The combined application of P, K, Ca, Zn, and Fe resulted in 52.9, 53.3, 48.9% higher yield over P or K application. Rice drought tolerance can be managed by combining breeding of drought-tolerant high yielding varieties with the proper application of fertilizer nutrients.
Bees of the Victorian Alps: network

24 Bees are considered the most important plant pollinators in many ecosystems, yet little is known 25 about pollination of native plants by bees in many Australian ecosystems including the alpine region. 26 Here we consider bee pollination in this region by constructing a bee visitation network and 27 investigating the degree of specialism and network “nestedness”, which are related to the 28 robustness of the network to perturbations. Bees and flowers were collected and observed from 10 29 sites across the Bogong High Plains/Mt Hotham region in Victoria. Low nestedness and a low degree 30 of specialism were detected, consistent with patterns in other alpine regions. Twenty-one native and 31 one non-indigenous bee species were observed visiting 46 of the 67 flower species recorded. The 32 introduced Apis mellifera had a large floral overlap with native bees, which may reduce fecundity of 33 native bees through competition. The introduced plant, Hypochaeris radicata (Asteraceae), had the 34 largest and most sustained coverage of any flower and had the most visitations and bee species of 35 any flower. The network developed in this study is a first step in understanding pollination patterns 36 in the alpine/sub alpine region and serves as a baseline for future comparisons.
Orthodontic Management of Congenitally Missing Lateral Incisor Using Skeletal Anchorage System – A Case Report

Introduction: Congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisor is a most common anomaly that needs to be treated orthodontically in patients who does not prefer prosthesis. This case report will explain a novel approach to treat the agenesis of maxillary lateral incisor using skeletal anchorage system. Method: 20 years old female patients reported with a chief complaint of spacing and forwardly placed upper front teeth. On diagnosis, Angle`s class I dentoalveolar malocclusion on a class I skeletal base was evident with congenitally missing 12. Patient preferred for space closure of 12 regions. Bollard plate was surgically placed on left maxillary tuberosity. 2 TADs were inserted between 14, 15 & 22, 23. Initial alignment of teeth, levelling of bracket slots and space closure in 12 regions were achieved. Brass hooks were soldered on 0.021" X 0.025" SS arch wire at 2 spots between 11, 21; 22, 23. E chain was given from bollard plates to hook between 22, 23. Also force was given from TAD placed on left quadrant to the hook soldered between 11, 21 and another between TAD of the right quadrant to the 2nd molar to achieve complete skewing of the arch and mesialisation of molar on right side to achieve class II molar relation. Result: Angle`s class II subdivision dentoalveolar malocclusion on a class I skeletal base was achieved with complete skewing of the dental arch to the left side using skeletal anchorage system.
Object Detection and Localization Based on Binocular Vision for Autonomous Vehicles

Environment perception based on vision plays an important role in autonomous driving technology. Although vision perception has achieved certain results in recent years, many methods can not solve the contradiction between speed and precision. In this paper, we propose a system for fast and accurate object detection and localization based on binocular vision. For object detection, a neural network model based on YOLOv3 is proposed. Specifically, MobileNet is employed in the backbone of YOLOv3 to improve the speed of feature extraction. Then the corresponding ORB feature points are extracted from continuous stereo images which take from the binocular cameras on the moving car. Thus, the disparity of each ORB feature point is calculated. After that, we use the result of object detection to screen the ORB feature points. Finally, the depth of the targets in the traffic scene can be estimated. Experiments on the KITTI dataset show the efficacy of our system, as well as the accuracy and robustness of our object localization relative to ground truth and prior works.
Higher order analysis of gene correlations by tensor decomposition

This study advances our understanding of inter- and intra-pathways higher order signaling in the cellular system and it leads to new discovery of multiple intracellular structures in signal transduction pathways in yeast Saccharomyces. We present a new tensor decomposition algorithm in reconstructing the pathways based on higher correlations among genes that compose a cellular system. The higher order gene correlation (HOGC) analysis has the power to elucidate gene’s higher interaction dependencies which has been barely understood. Recent studies i.e. [24] have experimentally revealed that multiple signaling proteins, yet sometimes infinite, may assemble to meaningful structure to transmit a receptor activation information. In this paper we reveal 3-order genomic correlations among significant component of the cellular system. This is the first time such a systematic and computational model provided for analysis of higher order correlations among genes. We use new fast algorithm to formulate a genes × genes × genes × decorrelated rank-1 sub-tensors (complexes) which can be associated with functionally independent pathways. Then we model higher order tensor decomposition which is constructed by K tensors of genes × genes × genes. Each new tensor is constructed by an orthogonal projection of data signal onto a designated basis signal to keep common sub-tensors in both signals. Our model for decomposing tensor order-4 approximates series of tensors as linear components of deccorelated rank-1 sub-tensors over tensor of order-3 and rank-3 triplings among sub-tensors. The linear components represent intra-pathway in cell signaling and triplings implicate inter-pathways higher order signaling. Through structural studies of inter- and intra-higher order signaling pathways, we uncover different scenario that involves triple formation of signaling proteins into higher order signaling machines for transmission of receptor activation information to cellular responses.
The Decision Tree Approach for the Choice of Freight Transport Mode: The Shippers’ Perspective in Terms of Seaport Hinterland Connections

Purpose: Current research in the area of transport decisions indicates that the key factors decisive for the mode choice are the cost and the time of transport. The complexity of behaviours and preferences of cargo shippers as well as the diversity of supply chain configurations, along with unavailability of an appropriate dataset hinder reliable forecasting the demand for transport and planning its development by means of quantitative methods. The aim of this article is to identify the factors that affect the decisions on mode choice by cargo shippers, based on data obtained by means of a qualitative method. Design/Methodology/Approach: The decision tree methodology was used in the analysis of the research study. To analyse the decision tree on the basis of C4.5. algorithm, the authors applied the J48 module of the WEKA 3.8. 4. software. Findings: The research has shown that the major attributes in selecting transport modes by cargo shippers, taking into account access to three modes of transport to the seaports hinterland, are consignment size and time pressure, then owning or having access to barge terminals by cargo shippers, and the annual volume of cargoes generated by them. Practical Implications: The results of the analysis can be useful for managers of supply chain making decisions regarding the choice of transport route. Originality/Value: The developed decision tree model provides cargo shippers with a possibility of choosing three transport modes to carry cargoes to/from the seaports: road, rail, and inland shipping, which constitutes supplementation and expansion of the studies completed so far, which usually took into account only rail and road transport.
Frequency of k99, stx1, and stx2 Virulence Factors in Escherichia coli isolated from Diarrheic and Clinically Healthy Suckling Calves in Sistan and Baluchistan Province, Iran.

It is necessary to understand the frequency of virulence factor-encoding genes in the assessment of the carriage proportion. Moreover, it is required in the characterization of major unique antigens that are useful in the development of effective immunological-based preventive measures. The current study aimed to evaluate the frequency of three encoding-virulence genes associated with Enterotoxigenic (ET) and Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli/EC) pathotypes (k99, stx1, and stx2) in North of Sistan and Baluchistan Province, Iran. The frequency of k99, stx1, and stx2 was determined via polymerase chain reaction among E. coli isolates collected from the feces of the clinically healthy suckling (n=50) and diarrheic calves (n=50). The k99 gene was absent in all isolates, and the frequencies of the E. coli containing stx1 and stx2 or both stx1 and stx2 were estimated at 8%, 14%, and 4%, respectively, in the clinically healthy suckling calves (P>0.05), compared to 24%, 16%, and 6% in diarrheic animals (p <0.05). Among the three studied genes, there was a statistically significant difference between clinically healthy suckling and diarrheic calves in terms of the frequency of E. coli isolatescontaining stx1. On the other hand, the results of this study indicated that k99 was not a major fimbrial antigen-encoding gene in the ETECpopulation in the region. It is assumed that in any health measure intended to control the pathogen, other genes involved with encoding fimbriae should also be considered. The noticeable high frequency of E. coli isolates bearing stx1 and/or stx2 virulence elementsboth in clinically healthy and diarrheic suckling calves in this study isa concern for public health. Accordingly, it is recommended that further epidemiological studies be conducted on the role of the stx1 gene in the diarrhea of suckling calves in Sistan and Baluchistan Province, Iran.
Lupin and pea extrusion decreases the ruminal degradability and improves the true ileal digestibility of crude protein

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the extrusion of dehulled lupins ( Lupinus albus L.) and peas ( Pisum sativum L.) on the ruminal degradability and intestinal digestibility of their protein contents. Ruminal degradability was evaluated in situ in the rumens of two fistulated cows. The true ileal crude protein (CP) digestibility was evaluated via a bioassay with Sprague Dawley laboratory rats as the animal model. Extrusion caused soluble fraction decreases in both feeds (P 0.05). Extrusion decreased the effective degradability (ED) of lupins by 12 % (P 0.05). The extrusion process had a greater impact on the reduction of the effective degradability in lupins than it did in peas. Nevertheless, extrusion increased the true ileal CP digestibility of the ruminal postfermentation residues in both feeds.
