Orthopedic & Muscular System Effectiveness of Cellular Phone-Based Interventions for Weight Loss in Overweight and Obese Adults: A Systematic Review

Background: In response to the rapid increase in obesity and its association with chronic diseases, World Health Organization has declared an immediate need for effective and widely-accessible interventions for weight management. Cellular phones are portable, convenient, and popular among people of varying economic status and geographic regions; hence, they offer a viable medium for delivering weight loss interventions. Objective: To determine whether cellular phones are an effective medium for delivering weight loss interventions in adults who are overweight or obese. Methods: A literature search was conducted to retrieve articles published prior to February 2012. Studies were included if they: 1) included adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher and with no known chronic condition, 2) delivered a weight loss intervention using a cellular phone, 3) measured weight, BMI, waist circumference, body fat or any other proxy for weight loss, 4) had a comparison group, and 5) were published in English. At least two reviewers independently screened all titles and abstracts and reviewed the included articles. Results: 193 unique citations were screened; of those, six studies met inclusion criteria. Mobile interventions varied from phone calls and short message service (SMS) messaging to emails, websites and podcasts. Among studies of one-way interactive interventions (i.e., the researcher could contact the participants, but the participants could not respond), one high quality randomized controlled trial (RCT) showed a small but statistically significant effect in weight reduction, favoring the intervention, and one low quality study reported no significant difference compared to printed material. Of the four studies on two-way interactive interventions (i.e., there was open communication between researchers and participants), two RCTs demonstrated statistically significant difference for weight and waist circumference, while one showed no significant difference. When compared to a clinic-based intervention, one low quality study showed that an internet/SMS weight loss intervention was inferior to regular clinic visits. Conclusion: Due to the small number of high quality studies, modest evidence was found for the effectiveness of cellular phones in the delivery of weight loss interventions for people who were overweight or obese.
Completely integrated multilayered weave electro-textile antenna for wearable applications

This paper proposes a unique, first of its kind fabrication technique for the making of textile antennas. A novel method that provides scope for automation in textile antenna production is presented here. A completely integrated textile antenna fabrication method that eliminates the tasks of positioning and fastening of the various components of a patch antenna is discussed. The technique employs multilayer weaving for the production of a wearable antenna on a cotton substrate. Silver yarn is used for the conductive regions of the textile antenna. Two layers of woven cotton serve to isolate the radiating patch from the ground plane of the antenna. The designed antenna was chosen to operate at the frequency of 2.45 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network. The built prototype resonated at 2.43 GHz with a |S11|of −18.62 dB. The integrated textile antenna exhibited a gain of 1.06 dBi at 2.43 GHz.
A Business Model Analysis for Vehicle Generated Data as a Marketable Product or Service in the Automotive Industry

— Data-driven business models play a significant role in the digital transformation of traditional value-added industries. More and more existing and potential partners of automobile manufacturers show interest in the data generated by the vehicles. However, there is still no monetary value assessment to support decisions regarding the release of data. Traditional pricing approaches for material goods are based on cost, margin, and volume. However, these bottom-up calculation concepts are not applicable to digital goods. The background to this is, among other things, the uncertainty about the potential sales volume, the difficulty of cost splitting, and the high unit cost degression of digital goods. This paper provides a decision support for selling data to third parties as an intangible product. It introduces a concept that allows to value data generated by a motor vehicle in order to determine potential prospects and prices for sale. The evaluation model developed can be used to strengthen the car manufacturer's negotiating position towards potential data buyers.
The Major Human Immunodeﬁciency Virus Type 2 (HIV-2) Packaging Signal Is Present on All HIV-2 RNA Species: Cotranslational RNA Encapsidation and Limitation of Gag Protein Confer Speciﬁcity

Deletion of a region of the human immunodeﬁciency virus type 2 (HIV-2) 5 (cid:1) leader RNA reduces genomic RNA encapsidation to about 5% that of wild-type virus with no defect in viral protein production but severely limits virus spread in Jurkat T cells, indicating that this region contains a major cis -acting encapsidation signal, or psi ( (cid:1) ). Being upstream of the major splice donor, it is present on all viral transcripts. We have shown that HIV-2 selects its genomic RNA for encapsidation cotranslationally, rendering wild-type HIV-2 unable to encapsidate vector RNAs in trans . Virus with (cid:1) deleted, however, encapsidates an HIV-2 vector, demonstrating competition for Gag protein. HIV-2 overcomes the lack of packaging signal location speciﬁcity by two novel mechanisms, cotranslational packaging and competition for limiting Gag polyprotein. Human immunodeﬁciency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2, respectively), the etiological agents of AIDS in humans (18), are members of the lentivirus group of retroviruses. Despite a similar genetic organization, homology at the nucleotide level is limited, reﬂecting different evolutionary origins; HIV-1 is closely related to the chimpanzee were expressed as CFU per 10,000 U of RT activity (CFU/10,000RTU).

Model-Free Real-Time EV Charging Scheduling Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

Driven by the recent advances in electric vehicle (EV) technologies, EVs have become important for smart grid economy. When EVs participate in demand response program which has real-time pricing signals, the charging cost can be greatly reduced by taking full advantage of these pricing signals. However, it is challenging to determine an optimal charging strategy due to the existence of randomness in traffic conditions, user’s commuting behavior, and the pricing process of the utility. Conventional model-based approaches require a model of forecast on the uncertainty and optimization for the scheduling process. In this paper, we formulate this scheduling problem as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) with unknown transition probability. A model-free approach based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed to determine the optimal strategy for this problem. The proposed approach can adaptively learn the transition probability and does not require any system model information. The architecture of the proposed approach contains two networks: a representation network to extract discriminative features from the electricity prices and a Q network to approximate the optimal action-value function. Numerous experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Taming the Complexity of Elasticity, Scalability and Transferability in Cloud Computing Cloud-Native Applications for SMEs

—Cloud computing enables companies getting computational and storage resources on demand. Especially when using features like elasticity and scaling, cloud computing can be a very powerful technology to run, e.g., a web service without worries about failure by overload or about wasting money by paid use of unneeded resources. For using these features, developers can use or implement cloud-native applications (CNA), containerized software running on an elastic platform. Nevertheless, a CNA can be complex at planning, installation and conﬁguration, maintenance and searching for failures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are mostly limited by their personnel and ﬁnancial restrictions. So, using these offered services can facilitate a very fast realization of the software project. However, by using these (proprietary) services it is often difﬁcult to migrate between cloud vendors. This paper introduces C 4 S , an open source system for SMEs to deploy and operate their container application with features like elasticity, auto-scaling and load balancing. The system also supports transferability features for migrating containers between different Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platforms. Thus, C 4 S is a solution for SMEs to use the beneﬁts of cloud computing with IaaS migration features to reduce vendor lock-in.
Airborne thermal infrared hyperspectral imaging of buried objects

Characterization of hazardous lands using ground-based techniques can be very challenging. For this reason, airborne surveys are often preferred. The use of thermal infrared imaging represents an interesting approach as surveys can be carried out under various illumination conditions and that the presence of buried objects typically modifies the thermal inertia of their surroundings. In addition, the burial or presence of a buried object will modify the particle size, texture, moisture and mineral content of a small region around it. All these parameters may lead to emissivity contrasts which will make thermal contrast interpretation very challenging. In order to illustrate the potential of airborne thermal infrared hyperspectral imaging for buried object characterization, various metallic objects were buried in a test site prior to an airborne survey. Airborne hyperspectral images were recorded using the targeting acquisition mode, a unique feature of the Telops Hyper-Cam Airborne system which allows recording of successive maps of the same ground area. Temperatureemissivity separation (TES) was carried out on the hyperspectral map obtained upon scene averaging. The thermodynamic temperature map estimated after TES highlights the presence of hot spots within the investigated area. Mineral mapping was carried out upon linear unmixing of the spectral emissivity datacube obtained after TES. The results show how the combination of thermal information and mineral distribution leads to a better characterization of test sites containing buried objects.

However, personality traits and self-care in T2DM in the Mexican population are not yet explored due to this; the purpose of this work was to explore the relationship of personality traits with self-care in Mexican adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 197 T2DM patients from a primary care center in Oaxaca, Mexico. The Big Five Inventory and the Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities (SDSCA) were the tools used. Correlation models and multiple linear regression models were used for the analysis. Results: Most of the study participants were women (74.6%). The mean age was 53.1 years (SD = 8.4). The average years of schooling of the participants were 5.7 (SD = 4.3). The number of years lived with T2DM was 9.0 (SD = 6.5). The waist circumference was 96.3 (SD = 14.2), and the BMI was 27.5 kg/m2 (SD = 4.1). The traits of conscientiousness (r = 0.283) and openness (r = 0.259) were positively correlated with self-care activities, while neuroticism was inversely correlated (r = −0.144). In the multiple linear regression models, only the conscientiousness and openness traits were predictors of self-care; they explained 19% of the variance. Conclusion: People with greater openness and conscientiousness were associated with greater compliance with self-care. Conversely, neuroticism was inversely associated with self-care in patients with T2DM.
Deep learning-based images classification using an efficient CNN model trained on handwritten dataset

- Image processing and deep learning (DL) are two zones of excessive awareness to researchers and scientists worldwide. It is having multiple applications fields such as robotics, medicine, and security and surveillance. DL is about learning multiple representations and abstraction levels that help make sense of data such as images, sound, and text. The MNIST dataset has a massive number of handwritten text dataset, and it is frequently used for training, testing, and validation of the convolutional neural network (CNN) deep model. This article has created an efficient model with multiple convolutions, ReLU and pooling layers, which is tested on MNIST dataset with 98.47 % accuracy. Further, this model is tested on a similar kind of random image Dataset which gives significant results in terms of accuracy.
Impact of observation noise and reward sparseness on Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient when applied to inverted pendulum stabilization

Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms have been shown to solve complex problems. Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) is a state-of-the-art deep RL algorithm able to handle environments with continuous action spaces. This thesis evaluates how the DDPG algorithm performs in terms of success rate and results depending on observation noise and reward sparseness using a simple environment. A threshold for how much gaussian noise can be added to observations before algorithm performance starts to decrease was found between a standard deviation of 0 . 025 and 0 . 05 . It was also concluded that reward sparseness leads to result inconsistency and irreproducibil-ity, showing the importance of a well-designed reward function. Further testing is required to thoroughly evaluate the performance impact when noisy observations and sparse rewards are combined.

Progress in Green Energies Sustainable Development and the Environment

Globally, buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of the total world annual energy consumption. Most of this energy is for the provision of lighting, heating, cooling, and air conditioning. Increasing awareness of the environmental impact of CO2, NOx and CFCs emissions triggered a renewed interest in environmentally friendly cooling, and heating technologies. Under the 1997 Montreal Protocol, governments agreed to phase out chemicals used as refrigerants that have the potential to destroy stratospheric ozone. It was therefore considered desirable to reduce energy consumption and decrease the rate of depletion of world energy reserves and pollution of the environment. This article discusses a comprehensive review of energy sources, environment and sustainable development. This includes all the renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency systems, energy conservation scenarios, energy savings and other mitigation measures necessary to reduce climate change.

ASSESSMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PR AND GASTRIC MALIGNANT EXPANSION AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF H. PYLORI

: Aim: We recently detailed an inversion of the red and white tint of the gastric corpus in some patients after destruction, and referred to it as the "wonder of inversion on the marginal mucous membrane" (RP), which is regularly visible in patients who create gastric malignant growth after annihilation. In this way, we conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the relationship between PR and gastric malignant growth after the destruction of H. Pylori, and we analyzed PR histologically. The characteristic endoscopic highlights of the gastric mucosa, which are signs of malignant growth after the successful annihilation of H. Pylori, have not been fully explained. Materials and Methods: Patients with a history of successful annihilation who underwent esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy in our clinic between January 2018 and April 2019 were temporarily enrolled. Our present research was conducted at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore. The quantities of tumour recently analyzed in positive and negative PR samples were evaluated. In addition, the red and white areas of RP-positive patients were examined by thin-band imaging with amplifying endoscopy, and histologically examined using examples of biopsies. Results: 30 (34.8%) indicated RP, out of 85 patients who were examined. Six malignant tumour were found in the RP-positive group and one in the RP-negative group (p<0.02). NBI-ME appeared as round pits without light blue peaks in white areas, and round pits with PLC-shaped structures or villus with PLC or dark white substance in red areas. All examples of white zone biopsies had background organs, and all those of red territories showed intestinal metaplasia. Conclusion: Patients with RA generally develop gastric disease after annihilation.
SIW sext‐band bandpass filter based on split‐type triple‐band symmetrical frequency responses

Substrate‐integrated waveguide (SIW) sext‐band bandpass filter (BPF) composed of two dual‐mode cavities coupled with multiple single‐mode ones is synthesized and designed for the first time by combining split‐type triple‐band symmetrical frequency responses for two virtual wide passbands dominated by TE101 and TE201 modes in SIW rectangular cavities. By applying our previously proposed dual‐mode frequency and coupling controlling techniques, the center frequencies and fractional bandwidths of the two virtual passbands can be allocated flexibly. An experimental prototype with the two virtual wide bands centered at 11.993 and 14.336 GHz is synthesized, designed, fabricated, and tested to demonstrate and validate the collaborative design concept, showing excellent agreement between the measured and simulation results.
Genomic and functional analysis of the IncP-1 β plasmids pWDL7:: rfp and pNB8c explains 1 their role in chloroaniline catabolism.

30 Broad-host-range catabolic plasmids play an important role in bacterial degradation of man- 31 made compounds. To gain insight into the role of these plasmids in chloroaniline degradation, 32 we determined the first complete nucleotide sequences of an IncP-1 chloroaniline degradation 33 plasmid, pWDL7:: rfp and its close relative pNB8c, as well as the expression pattern, function 34 and bioaugmentation potential of the putative 3-chloroaniline (3-CA) oxidation genes. Based on 35 phylogenetic analysis of backbone proteins, both plasmids are members of a distinct clade within 36 the IncP-1 β subgroup. The plasmids are almost identical, but whereas pWDL7:: rfp carries a 37 duplicate inverted catabolic transposon, Tn 6063 , containing a putative 3-CA oxidation gene 38 cluster dcaQTA1A2BR, pNB8c contains only a single copy of the transposon. No genes for an 39 aromatic ring cleavage pathway were detected on either plasmid, suggesting that only the upper 40 3-CA degradation pathway was present. The dcaA1A2B gene products expressed from a high 41 copy number vector were shown to convert 3-CA to 4-chlorocatechol in E. coli . Slight 42 differences in the dca promoter region between the plasmids and lack of induction of 43 transcription of the pNB8c dca genes by 3-CA may explain previous findings that pNB8C does 44 not confer 3-CA transformation. Bioaugmentation of activated sludge with plasmid pWDL7:: rfp 45 accelerated removal of 3-CA, but only in the presence of an additional carbon source. Successful 46 bioaugmentation requires complementation of the upper pathway genes with chlorocatechol cleavage genes in indigenous bacteria. The genome sequences of these plasmids thus help explain the molecular basis of their catabolic activities. the of almost identical copies of dca genes on both plasmid pWDL7:: rfp and clear differences in catabolic activity previously observed. While pWDL7 was shown to confer 3-CA and 3,4-DCA (3,4-dichloroaniline) transformation after conjugative 343 transfer in C. pinatubonensis JMP228n (14), pNB8c only conferred the ability to transform non- chlorinated aniline in an isogenic strain even though its original host NB8c degraded 3-CA (7).
Methods ZOOPS-O 2 : A broadband echosounder with coordinated stereo optical imaging for observing plankton in situ

Here we describe the configuration, calibration, and initial results from the combination of two recently developed underwater instruments that measure acoustic reflectivity and, simultaneously, the location, pose and size of millimeter-sized plankton relative to the sonar beam. The acoustic system, ZOOPS (ZOOPlankton Sonar), uses a broadband chirp signal that operates with a single monos-taticallyconfiguredtransducerinthe1.5–2.5MHzfrequencyrange. We demonstrate that the system can record, with adequate signal-to-noise levels, identifiable reflections from single copepods with lengths as small as 360 µ m. To simultaneously identify taxa and measure orientation, a pair of ‘‘O-Cam’’ microscopes were stereo- scopically calibrated and geometrically co-registered with the orientation and range-resolved acoustic transmissions of the sonar beam. The system’s capability is demonstrated via the in situ measurement of acoustic reflectivity as a function of orientation for 224 individual pelagic copepods comprising three orders of free-living taxa. Comparison with a well-known model, the Distorted Wave Born Approximation (DWBA), using a spheroidal formula-tion, yields both differences and similarities between the in situ field data and the model’s predictions.
A new approach for Trading based on Long-Short Term memory Ensemble technique

Stock market prediction has always been crucial for stakeholders, traders and investors. We developed an ensemble Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model that includes two time frequencies (annual and daily parameters) in order to predict next day Closing price (one-step ahead). Based on a four-step approach, this methodology is a serial combination of two LSTM algorithms. The empirical experiment is applied to 417 NY stock exchange companies. Based on Open High Low Close metrics and other financial ratios, the approach proves that the stock market prediction can be improved.
