IMPACT OF WEATHER CONDITIONS ON THE ENERGETIC QUALITY OF ACICULATED DRY BRANCHES OF Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze PRODUCED THROUGHOUT A YEAR

The aciculated dry branches of Araucaria angustifolia, which fall throughout the year by the natural pruning of the species, can be a renewable and sustainable alternative for energy generation and income for rural producers inserted in the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest. This research aimed to energetically characterize these dry branches produced by free-growing trees throughout the year in the Santa Catarina's Plateau Region. Also, it aimed to determine the influence of weather conditions on the energetic quality of the aciculated dry branches. To that end, we demarcated 37 trees by choosing a quadrant according to the radius of the crowns in which the dry branches were collected. Collections happened monthly between June 2018 and May 2019. Subsequently, the biomass's physical, chemical, and energetic properties were determined. A simple correlation between climatic variables and properties was obtained. The main advantage of aciculated dry branches as an energy resource was their low moisture content (18%) and the disadvantages were the high ash content and the low basic density (220 kg.m). Except for the moisture content, all the properties of the aciculated dry branches varied throughout the year, and they were influenced by the weather variables. The correlations between the climatic variables and the properties analyzed indicated that the energetic quality of the dry branches was better in the months with the highest values of average temperatures and solar radiation.
Harnessing Process Variation Signature for Dynamically Selection of Probe-Test Flow

—We propose a methodology for dynamically selecting an optimal probe-test ﬂow which reduces test cost without jeopardizing test quality. The granularity of this decision is at the wafer-level and is made before the wafer reaches the probe station, based on an e-test signature which reﬂects how process variations have affected this particular wafer. The proposed method offers ﬂexibility by optimizing test ﬂow per process signature, and its implementation is simple and compatible with most commonly used Automatic Test Equipment. Furthermore, unlike static test elimination approaches, whose agility is limited by the relative importance of the permanently dropped tests, the proposed method is capable of exploring test cost reduction solutions which achieve very low test escape rates. Decisions are made by an intelligent system which maps every point in the e-test signature space to the most appropriate probe-test ﬂow. Training of the system seeks to optimize the test ﬂow of each process signature in order to maximize test cost reduction for a given target of test escapes, thereby enabling exploration of the trade-off between test cost reduction and test quality. The proposed method is demonstrated on an industrial dataset of a million devices from a 65nm Texas Instruments RF transceiver.

Stem Cell Transplantation Efficacy in Cerebral Palsy: A Physical Therapist Perspective

Background and Purpose Children with spastic cerebral palsy usually display elevation in muscle tone, a decline in gross motor functional abilities , feeding problems and sometimes it may accompanied by visual problems. Studies on stem cell treatment are in their early stages concerning their effect on cerebral palsy. Methods A child with spastic cerebral palsy on level v on gross motor function classification system was selected for autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear transplantation cell. Muscle tone, gross, fine motor abilities, feeding abilities and visual abilities were assessed on 4 occasions, prior the transplantation, immediately after the transplantation, after 6 months and after 1 year. Results No effect of stem cell transplantation was shown on the child. Conclusion Further research studies should be done on the subject but using different population rather than children on level V Gross motor function classification system
PRG5 Knockout Precipitates Late-Onset Hypersusceptibility to Pilocarpine-Induced Juvenile Seizures by Exacerbating Hippocampal Zinc Signaling-Mediated Mitochondrial Damage

Introduction Epileptogenesis is understood as the plastic process that produces a persistent reorganization of the brain’s neural network after a precipitating injury (recurrent neonatal seizures, for instance) with a latent period, finally leading to neuronal hyperexcitability. Plasticity-related genes (PRGs), also known as lipid phosphate phosphatase-related proteins (PLPPRs), are regulators of mitochondrial membrane integrity and energy metabolism. This study was undertaken to determine whether PRG5 gene knockout contributes to the delayed hypersensitivity induced by developmental seizures and the aberrant sprouting of hippocampal mossy fibers, and to determine whether it is achieved through the mitochondrial pathway. Here, we developed a “twist” seizure model by coupling pilocarpine-induced juvenile seizures with later exposure to penicillin to test the long-term effects of PRG5 knockout on seizure latency through comparison with wild-type (WT) mice. Hippocampal mossy fiber sprouting (MFS) was detected by Timm staining. In order to clarify the mechanism of the adverse reactions triggered by PRG5 knockout, hippocampal HT22 neuronal cultures were exposed to glutamate, with or without PRG5 interference. Mitochondrial function, oxidative stress indicators and zinc ion content were detected. Results PRG5 gene knockout significantly reduced the seizure latency, and aggravated the lowered seizure threshold induced by developmental seizures. Besides, knockout of the PRG5 gene reduced the MFS scores to a certain extent. Furthermore, PRG5 gene silencing significantly increases the zinc ion content in hippocampal neurons, impairs neuronal activity and mitochondrial function, and exacerbates glutamate-induced oxidative stress damage. Conclusion In summary, PRG5 KO is associated with significantly greater hypersusceptibility to juvenile seizures in PRG5(–/–) mice compared with WT mice. These effects may be related to the hippocampal zinc signaling. The effects do not appear to be related to changes in MFS because KO mice with juvenile seizures had the shortest seizure latencies but exhibited less MFS than WT mice with juvenile seizures.
The Basic of Learning

Piul is a musical instrument original from Europe with the origin of the name Violin. During the Dutch colonial era, this musical instrument was known by the Sundanese people by the word piul because the Dutch called it viol, which then sounded to the word piul. In its development, piul entered Sundanese musical music, resulting in acculturation of two cultures, in other words, Violin was played by Sundanese people with expressions of style and ornamentation of Sundanese music. This article describes about piul learning techniques and how to play piul. The purpose of writing this article is to find out the process of learning the piul with simple steps by looking at examples of the basic techniques of playing the piul which include, fingering techniques, swallowing techniques, holding piul techniques, how to hold a bow, friction techniques to Sundanese style ornamentation techniques. Thus the true play piul is an imitation of the fiddle technique applied to violins so as to create a new and existing sound color used by the community in serving Sundanese traditional ceremonies and other traditional Sundanese music performances. Keywords—learning to play piul, acculturation, traditional Sundanese music

Possibilities of normal-phase (NP) and reversed-phase (RP) liquid chromatography methods for determination of methomyl, methidathion and propiconazole residues in apple juice were studied. The investigations were carried out on various analytical columns using RRLC (Rapid Resolution Liquid Chromatography) system coupled with UV-Vis diode array detector. The best conditions for separation and quantitative determination of tested pesticides were obtained using reversed-phase mode and Purospher Star RP-18 endcapped (30 mm × 4 mm; 3 μm) column. Fast and simple method for direct determination of methidathion and propiconazole in different apple juice matrix was developed. In accordance to European Commission regulation the tested parameters for method validation (selectivity, linearity, precision, limit of detection, limit of quantification and accuracy) were satisfied.
NEW IMAGING MOBILE MAPPING DEVICE BASED ON HIGH RESOLUTION VIDEOGRAMMETRY FOR LARGE-SCALE OUTDOOR 3D RECONSTRUCTION

Abstract. In recent years, a new generation of instruments has appeared that are motion-based capture. These systems are based on a combination of techniques, among which LIDAR stands out. In this article we present a new proposal for a 3D model generation instrument based on videogrammetry. The prototype designed consists of two cameras connected to a computer system. One of the cameras is in charge of running VisualSLAM and guiding the user in real time at the moment of data acquisition; the other camera, with a higher resolution, saves the images and, thanks to a refined 3D-Based frame selection algorithm, processes them using automatic photogrammetric procedures, generating one or more point-clouds that are integrated to give way to a high-density and high-precision 3D colour point-cloud.The paper evaluates the proposal with four case studies: two of an urban nature and two related to historical heritage. The resulting models are confronted with the Faro Focus3D X330 laser scanner, classic photogrammetric procedures with reflex camera and Agisoft metashape software and are also confronted with precision points measured with a total station. The case studies show that the proposed system has a high capture speed, and that the accuracy of the models can be competitive in many areas of professional surveying and can be a viable alternative for the creation of instruments based on videogrammetry.
Arched snap motor: power flow analysis

Impulse force is effective for purposes such as system analysis, mobile robots, and haptic devices. However, the most popular DC motor actuator is not suitable for generating an impulse force. Thus, the lack of a compact impulse force generator has become a problem. We propose a snap motor that is a compact and rapid impulse force generator. In this paper, we propose a slider mechanism for the arched snap motor to increase the durability of the frame. This paper shows a reasonable explanation the function of the slider mechanism on an arched snap motor with simulation. Then, experiments showed that the energy conversion efficiency of the input electric energy to the buckling energy is about 60%. This paper provides a design method for a simple and compact impulse force generator. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Microbial Diversity and Non-volatile Metabolites Profile of Low-Temperature Sausage Stored at Room Temperature

Sausage is a highly perishable food with unique spoilage characteristics primarily because of its specific means of production. The quality of sausage during storage is determined by its microbial and metabolite changes. This study developed a preservative-free low-temperature sausage model and coated it with natural casing. We characterized the microbiota and non-volatile metabolites in the sausage after storage at 20°C for up to 12 days. Bacillus velezensis was the most prevalent species observed after 4 days. Lipids and lipid-like molecules, organoheterocyclic compounds, and organic acids and their derivatives were the primary non-volatile metabolites. The key non-volatile compounds were mainly involved in protein catabolism and β-lipid oxidation. These findings provide useful information for the optimization of sausage storage conditions.
A CONCEPT FOR THE SEGMENTATION OF INDIVIDUAL URBAN TREES FROM DENSE MLS POINT CLOUDS

Abstract. In our daily lives, trees can be seen as the tallest and most noticeable representatives of the plant kingdom. Especially in urban areas, the individual tree is of high significance and responsible for a manifold of positive effects on the environment and residents. In the context of urban tree registers and thus monitoring of urban vegetation, we propose a general concept for the segmentation of trees from 3D point clouds. Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) is introduced as the preferred sensor. Based on an analysis of earlier work in this field, we gather arguments and methods in order to involve segmentation in the bigger frame of a tree register workflow, including detailed modeling and change detection. Our concept for segmentation is based on a voxel-structure. In a first step, region growing approaches are used for ground removal and rough segmentation. Later, graph-based optimization will separate neighboring trees. For now, only the general concept can be introduced—quantitative analysis and optimization of the steps will follow in future work.
The meditating effect of brand love in the relationship between brand experience and brand equity

The purpose of this study is to examine whether brand love has a mediating effect on the relationship between brand experience and brand equity. The research data were obtained from 503 participants between the ages of 18-24 in Istanbul. Face-to-face survey technique was used as a data collection method, quota sampling and convenience sampling methods were preferred as the sampling method. The collected data were tested using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling analysis within the framework of the conceptual model of the research. According to the findings of the research, it has been determined that four dimensions of brand experience (sensory, emotional, intellectual and behavioral) have a positive effect on two dimensions of brand love (affection, passion) and four dimensions of brand equity (brand awareness, brand associations, perceived quality, brand loyalty). However, it was concluded that brand love has no mediating effect on the relationship between brand experience and brand equity.
ZFlow: Gated Appearance Flow-based Virtual Try-on with 3D Priors

Image-based virtual try-on involves synthesising perceptually convincing images of a model wearing a particular garment and has garnered significant research interest due to its immense practical applicability. Recent methods involve a two stage process: i) warping of the garment to align with the model ii) texture fusion of the warped garment and target model to generate the try-on output. Issues arise due to the non-rigid nature of garments and the lack of geometric information about the model or the garment. It often results in improper rendering of granular details. We propose ZFlow, an end-to-end framework, which seeks to alleviate these concerns regarding geometric and textural integrity (such as pose, depth-ordering, skin and neckline reproduction) through a combination of gated aggregation of hierarchical flow estimates termed Gated Appearance Flow, and dense structural priors at various stage of the network. ZFlow achieves state-of-the-art results as observed qualitatively, and on quantitative benchmarks of image quality (PSNR, SSIM, and FID). The paper presents extensive comparisons with other existing solutions including a detailed user study and ablation studies to gauge the effect of each of our contributions on multiple datasets.
Influence of lithium doping on the electrical properties and ageing effect of ZnSnO thin film transistors

The effects of lithium doping on the electrical properties and ageing effect of ZnSnO (ZTO) thin films fabricated using a sol–gel process were investigated. As the Li content increased from 0 to 15 at%, the saturation mobility increased until 3 at% of Li and then decreased. The sub-threshold swing and on/off ratio were improved with the increase in Li content. In addition, Li (3 at%)–ZTO showed the smallest VTH change of 2.52 V among the thin film transistors (TFTs) in a positive bias stress (PBS) test. To observe the influence of Li on the ageing effect of TFTs, un-passivated Li–ZTO TFTs were stored under ambient conditions for 120 days. As a result of comparing the electrical characteristics of Li–ZTO TFTs after different durations of air exposure, the on/off ratio and sub-threshold swing of the Li (7 at%)–ZTO sample were almost unchanged when compared to those of ZTO. An x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis of the O 1s core level showed that the relative area of oxygen vacancies (VO) decreased from 27.2 to 19.6% as the Li content increased from 0 to 15 at%. A spectroscopic ellipsometer analysis showed that Li (3 at%)–ZTO had the smallest optical band gap of 3.68 eV. From the result of the band alignment, it was confirmed that the Fermi level (EF) of Li (3 at%)–ZTO was located at the closest position to the conduction band minimum. Despite the reduction of the oxygen vacancy, the reason for the increasing electron concentration was due to the Li atom being preferentially located in the interstitial site, which released the free electron in the ZnO matrix. As a result, Li (3 at%)–ZTO showed improved electrical properties in the saturation mobility and PBS with stability under an ambient environment.
Novel System to Monitor In Vivo Neural Graft Activity After Spinal Cord Injury

Expectations for neural stem/progenitor cell (NS/PC) transplantation as a treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI) are increasing. However, whether and how grafted cells are incorporated into the host neural circuit and contribute to motor function recovery remain unknown. The aim of this project was to establish a novel non-invasive in vivo imaging system to visualize the activity of neural grafts by which we can simultaneously demonstrate the circuit-level integration between the graft and host, and the contribution of graft neuronal activity to host behaviour. We introduced Akaluc, a newly engineered luciferase, under control of a potent neuronal activity-dependent synthetic promoter, E-SARE, into NS/PCs and engrafted the cells into SCI model mice. Through the use of this system, we reveal that the activity of grafted cells was integrated with host behaviour and driven by host neural circuit inputs. This non-invasive system is expected to help elucidate the therapeutic mechanism of cell transplantation treatment for SCI and determine better therapy techniques that maximize the function of cells in the host circuit.

Received 7/04/2021 A spectroscope presents the optical emission spectroscopy (OES) technique on laser-produced copper and silver plasmas. The optical emission spectrum technique was used to analyzes the spectrum arising from the Cu, Ag Laser Nd: YAG plasmas with a wavelength of (1064) nm, a span of (10) ns, and a focal length of (10) cm in the energy range (300-800) mJ. The electron temperature (Te) was determined while the Saha-Boltzmann equation was used to measure the electron density (ne). Other plasma parameters, (λD), (fp), (ND), were also measured. For various energies, the plasma spectrum was registered copper and silver. Q-switched Nd: YAG liquid laser ablation technique (PLAL) was used to produce nanoparticles (NPs), silver, and copper particles using distilled water at room temperature at different energies (300-600-800) mJ. With a constant wavelength (1064nm). At a constant frequency (6Hz), 300 laser pulses were used to ablate the target placed in distilled water to study the effect of these materials in inhibiting bacteria. Bacteria were used (Staphylococcus). This study showed that (Ag-NPs) and (Cu-NPs) that are synthesized by laser ablation have a great effect on Staphylococcus (antibiotic-resistant) bacteria.
