Efficacy of Different Modalities in Treatment of Different Types of Fungal Sinusitis

Background: Fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS) includes a spectrum of disease processes that vary in clinical presentation, histologic appearances, and treatment options. Objective: This systematic review was done to reach the effective and safe method in management of FRS. Patients and Methods: Meta-analysis was performed in accordance to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). This study used the published articles (from Jan1985 to Jan2018) in treatment of FRS via search in several databases. Results: Finally, forty-five studies were included in this study. Fifteen of them assessed the treatment of fungal ball (FB) using mainly the functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) the success rate was 98.1%. Twenty included studies have evaluated the management of allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) via FESS, Systemic steroids, Antifungals and immunotherapy. The results showed that FESS represents the first-line, followed by aggressive medical therapies, the recurrence rate after postoperative steroids was 20.6%, postoperative antifungals was 40% and after immunotherapy was 9.1%. Ten included studies considered the Invasive Fungal sinusitis. The results showed that the combination of systematic antifungal therapy and aggressive surgical debridement was the treatment of the choice. Conclusion: FESS is the treatment of choice for FB. AFS treatment consists of surgical extirpation of the allergic mucin and followed by anti-fungal therapy, Immunotherapy, and corticosteroids. Treatment of invasive fungal sinusitis includes surgical resection of necrotic tissues, systemic antifungal therapy and reversal of immune dysfunction.
Using the Indocyanine Green (ICG) Lymphography to Screen Breast Cancer Patients at High Risk for Lymphedema

Background: Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography is a newer technique for diagnosing lymphedema. Our study aimed to find whether the abnormality of ICG lymphography can predict the occurrence of early lymphedema and then select candidates at high risk of developing lymphedema. Methods: Postoperative breast cancer patients who visited the lymphedema clinic of Peking University People’s Hospital from December 2016 to September 2019 were consecutively enrolled and received ICG lymphography and circumference measurement. Data were collected on the patients’ characteristics and correlation between ICG lymphography and the occurrence of lymphedema. Results: The analysis included 179 patients. There were 91 patients in the lymphedema group and 88 patients in the non-lymphedema group. By multivariate analysis, age, axillary surgery, radiotherapy, and time since breast cancer surgery were regarded as risk factors for lymphedema (p < 0.05). According to the results of ICG lymphography, patients in the non-lymphedema group (n = 88) were divided into ICG-positive (n = 47) and ICG-negative (n = 41) groups. The incidence of lymphedema in the ICG-positive group was significantly higher than that in the ICG-negative group (19.1% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.027). Conclusion: Lymphatic disorder can be detected before circumference change using ICG lymphography. Abnormal ICG lymphography is an independent risk factor for lymphedema. Patients with abnormal dermal backflow patterns are considered to be a high-risk group for lymphedema and should undergo early interventions to prevent lymphedema.
Chain-based routing protocols in wireless sensor networks: A survey

In the last few years, wireless sensor networks (WSN) have become an active area for researchers due to its broad and growing application. However, routing is a critical issue that needs consideration as it directly impacts the performance of WSN. Several protocols have been proposed to address this issue as well as reducing energy consumption and prolong a lifetime of the sensor nodes in WSN. The chain-based is one approach from Hierarchical routing protocols which reduces the energy consumption in WSN. However, a problem arises when the chain has long-link (LL) from the base station (BS). This paper presents a comprehensive survey on chain-base hierarchical routing protocols, in terms of details, who to work, Phases, figures, and the main advantage and disadvantage for each protocol. Furthermore, the characteristics of chainbased routing protocols and the performance metrics that are used in WSN are discussed. Finally, this paper presents open challenges for researchers.

Assessment of Pain Onset and Maximum Bearable Pain Thresholds in Physical Contact Situations

With the development of robot technology, robot utilization is expanding in industrial fields and everyday life. To employ robots in various fields wherein humans and robots share the same space, human safety must be guaranteed in the event of a human–robot collision. Therefore, criteria and limitations of safety need to be defined and well clarified. In this study, we induced mechanical pain in humans through quasi-static contact by an algometric device (at 29 parts of the human body). A manual apparatus was developed to induce and monitor a force and pressure. Forty healthy men participated voluntarily in the study. Physical quantities were classified based on pain onset and maximum bearable pain. The overall results derived from the trials pertained to the subjective concept of pain, which led to considerable inter-individual variation in the onset and threshold of pain. Based on the results, a quasi-static contact pain evaluation method was established, and biomechanical safety limitations on forces and pressures were formulated. The pain threshold attributed to quasi-static contact can serve as a safety standard for the robots employed.
Model following average-current-mode control with 1/∛s compensator for interleaved boost converters with improved dynamic response

This study presents a model following average-current-mode (MFACM) control using a 1/∛s compensator to improve robustness and dynamic response for multiphase boost converters. The proposed 1/∛s compensator can maintain a constant phase boost of about 60° over two decades, which is attractive from the point of view of stability design when phase margin, gain margin, delay margin and modulus margin are taken into consideration. In addition, the MFACM control is shown to elevate perturbation rejection ability of converters by reducing closed-loop output impedance and closed-loop audio susceptibility, relative to traditional average-current-mode control methods with the almost same crossover frequency. Computer simulations and experimental results using a three-phase interleaved boost converter are shown close agreement between modelled estimates and measured values.
A DSTATCOM-Control Scheme for Power Quality Improvement of Grid Connected Wind Energy System for Balanced and Unbalanced Non linear Loads

One of the main problems in wind energy generation is the connection to the grid. Injection of wind power into the grid affects the power quality resulting in poor performance of the system. The wind energy system faces frequently fluctuating voltage due to the nature of wind and introduction of harmonics into the system. The influence of the wind turbine in the grid system concerning the power quality measurements are-the active power, reactive power, variation of voltage, flicker, harmonics, and electrical behavior of switching operation and these are measured according to national/international guidelines specified in International Electro-technical Commission standard, IEC-61400. The paper study demonstrates the power quality problem due to installation of wind turbine with the grid. In this proposed scheme distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is connected with a battery energy storage system (BESS) to mitigate the power quality issues. The battery energy storage is integrated to sustain the real power source under fluctuating wind power. The DSTATCOM control scheme for the grid connected wind energy generation system for power quality improvement is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK in power system block set. Finally the proposed scheme is applied for both balanced and unbalanced nonlinear loads.
Virtual nexus: Female players’ emotional attachment in a role-playing video game

Casual gaming has become an increasingly important part of leisure in the last decade, and role-playing games (RPGs) are one of the most popular genres. RPGs prompt players to develop emotional attachments, so exploring players’ user emotions toward RPGs is of academic significance. This study applied the qualitative method to examine the development of female user emotional attachment in the RPG Onmyoji. The resulting model of developing user emotions between female players and the game and the three stages of the development are structured. The results indicate that female players can form emotional connections with the game, and they generate an emotional ‘virtual nexus’ in the process.

Acknowledgments : We would like to thank Matthew McGuire, Paloma Fajardo, Dusti Baker, Scott Machtley, Sharette Rockholt, Kathy Johnson, Suzette Maneely, Pernell Tomasi, Sara Harders, Matthew Hagler, and Melissa Stefanek for assistance with data collections and field management; and Mike Roybal and Bill Luckett for assistance with proximal sensing data handling and management. This work was supported by a Cotton Incorporated Research Grant 13-738 and the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service 2020-2100-013-00D. Conflict of interest : The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. The sustainable production of upland cotton, an economically important fiber crop, is threatened by changing environmental factors including high temperatures and low-soil water content. Both high heat and low-soil water can reduce net photosynthesis resulting in low fiber yields or poor fiber quality. Leaf chlorophyll content has a direct relationship with photosynthetic rate. Understanding how high heat and low-soil water affect chlorophyll content can identify opportunities for breeding improvement that will lead to sustainable fiber yields. A two-year field trial located in Maricopa Arizona measured leaf chlorophyll content, available soil water, ambient air temperatures, and cotton growth measurements collected by a high-clearance tractor equipped with proximal sensors. The results showed that low-soil water significantly increased leaf chlorophyll content, while high temperatures significantly reduced content. Structured equation modeling revealed that cotton may divert available resources to leaf area and chlorophyll content for the production of photosynthates during periods of high temperatures.

Comparison of Design of Experiments via Traditional and Taguchi Method

This paper presents a case study on comparison of Design of Experiments (DOE) via traditional and Taguchi methods in terms of efficiency. First, a three-level, four-parameter, full factorial DOE was conducted for finding the effects of machining parameters on the surface roughness (arithmetic average) of parts produced by turning operation. The results were analyzed applying average response, Taguchi’s S/N ratio, and Pareto ANOVA. Subsequently, the same data was analyzed applying Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. The comparison of two results revealed that despite an 88.9% savings of experimental runs with the Taguchi method, both methods produced similar results.
A Comprehensive Survey on RF Energy Harvesting: Applications and Performance Determinants

There has been an explosion in research focused on Internet of Things (IoT) devices in recent years, with a broad range of use cases in different domains ranging from industrial automation to business analytics. Being battery-powered, these small devices are expected to last for extended periods (i.e., in some instances up to tens of years) to ensure network longevity and data streams with the required temporal and spatial granularity. It becomes even more critical when IoT devices are installed within a harsh environment where battery replacement/charging is both costly and labour intensive. Recent developments in the energy harvesting paradigm have significantly contributed towards mitigating this critical energy issue by incorporating the renewable energy potentially available within any environment in which a sensor network is deployed. Radio Frequency (RF) energy harvesting is one of the promising approaches being investigated in the research community to address this challenge, conducted by harvesting energy from the incident radio waves from both ambient and dedicated radio sources. A limited number of studies are available covering the state of the art related to specific research topics in this space, but there is a gap in the consolidation of domain knowledge associated with the factors influencing the performance of RF power harvesting systems. Moreover, a number of topics and research challenges affecting the performance of RF harvesting systems are still unreported, which deserve special attention. To this end, this article starts by providing an overview of the different application domains of RF power harvesting outlining their performance requirements and summarizing the RF power harvesting techniques with their associated power densities. It then comprehensively surveys the available literature on the horizons that affect the performance of RF energy harvesting, taking into account the evaluation metrics, power propagation models, rectenna architectures, and MAC protocols for RF energy harvesting. Finally, it summarizes the available literature associated with RF powered networks and highlights the limitations, challenges, and future research directions by synthesizing the research efforts in the field of RF energy harvesting to progress research in this area.

A Formal Validation Approach for XACML 3.0 Access Control Policy

Access control systems represent a security mechanism to regulate the access to system resources, and XACML is the standard language for specifying, storing and deploying access control policies. The verbosity and complexity of XACML syntax as well as the natural language semantics provided by the standard make the verification and testing of these policies difficult and error-prone. In the literature, analysis techniques and access control languages formalizations are provided for verifiability and testability purposes. This paper provides three contributions: it provides a comprehensive formal specification of XACML 3.0 policy elements; it leverages the existing policy coverage criteria to be suitable for XACML 3.0; and it introduces a new set of coverage criteria to better focus the testing activities on the peculiarities of XACML 3.0. The application of the proposed coverage criteria to a policy example is described, and hints for future research directions are discussed.
