A Rare Branching Pattern of Arch of Aorta

10.21276/sajb.2018. 6.2. 4 Abstract: A ‘bovine aortic arch’ in human is the commonest branching anomaly of Aortic Arch which is described as a common origin of Brachiocephalic Trunk and Left Common Carotid Artery. The term is considered as misnomer by some authors as it does not exactly match with the typical single branched aortic arch found in cattle. More than 20 different types of aortic arch branching anomalies have been reported. Each researcher has described the pattern of branching different ways. We report a rare anomalous branching of the aortic arch in an adult male cadaver. In the present case, Left Common Carotid Artery is originating from brachiocephalic trunk. Variations in the branching pattern of the arch of aorta can alter the cerebral haemodynamic that leads to cerebral abnormalities. Aberrant anatomy of aortic arch becomes relevant to interventional radiologists and CVTS surgeons in endovascular interventions in the head and neck and intracranial territories, thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair and diagnosis of an intracranial aneurysm after subarachnoid haemorrhage.
RISK ANALYSIS OF LEPTIN AND ADIPONECTIN IN ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH TYPE-2 DIABETES MELLITUS COMBINED WITH CEREBRAL INFARCTION

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the risk factors in elderly type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with cerebral infarction. Materials and methods: Among the patients admitted at the First People's Hospital of Lanzhou from June 2012 to May 2014, 162 elderly T2DM patients with cerebral infarction (group A), 98 elderly T2DM patients without cerebral infarction (group B), and 112 elderly cerebral infarction patients without diabetes (group C) were enrolled into the present study. All patients were measured for fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting insulin, blood lipid, blood pressure, body mass index, leptin, adiponectin and neutrophil. Results: Blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, fasting insulin, blood lipid, blood pressure, body mass index, leptin and neutrophil were significantly higher in group A, than in group B and C (P<0.05). Furthermore, adiponectin was significantly lower in group, than in group B and C (P<0.05). The stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting insulin, blood lipid, blood pressure, body mass index, leptin, adiponectin and neutrophil were significantly correlated with cerebral infarction. Conclusion: Hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, high body mass index, hyperleptinemia, hypoadiponectinemia and high neutrophil are important risk factors for T2DM with cerebral infarction.
Identification of footprints of microbial activity and their applicability for trace gas emission studies from soil after a rewetting event

Microbes in soil play a major role in the release of NO into the atmosphere and thereby indirectly impact to the radiative forcing. In this study DAPI cell counting, Clone libraries for RNA and a H2O Stable Isotope Probing (SIP) for DNA were used to identify microbial activity over different soil moisture contents within a drying out. An optimum function for the DAPI cell counting was observed for the drying out. Within a series of clone libraries over the drying out footprints for several genera of the classes Alphaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria and Bacilli, Planctomycetacia, Fusobacteria, of microbial activity could be identified. By the use of qPCR for the SIP fractions it could be shown that the DNA is significantly labelled with O even in really short incubation times of ~9h. For further conclusions, in a future study the samples will be parameterized for their release of trace gases.

Closeness is Key over Long Distances: Effects of Interpersonal Closeness on Telepresence Experience

Telepresence robots act as the remote embodiments of human operators, enabling people to stay connected to friends, family, and coworkers over lengthy physical separations. However, the factors affecting how humans can best make use of such systems are not yet well understood. This paper explores the effects of personalization and relationship closeness on telepresence via two studies. Study 1 was a between-participants experiment that investigated telepresence robot personalization. 32 pairs of friends (N=64) participated in the study's team-building-style activities and answered questions about robot operator presence. The results unexpectedly indicated that relationship closeness influenced the interaction experience more than any other considered predictor variable. To study closeness more rigorously as the central manipulation, we conducted Study 2, a between-participants experiment with 24 pairs (N=48) and a similar procedure. Robot operators who reported a closer relationship with their teammate felt more present in this investigation. These findings can inform the design and application of telepresence robot systems to increase a remote operator's feelings of presence via robot. ACM Reference Format: Naomi T.

Driver Visual Drowsiness and Attention Analysis System

: The development of technologies for preventing drowsiness at the wheel is a major challenge in the field of accident avoidance systems. Driver fatigue resulting from sleep deprivation or sleep disorders is an important factor in the increasing number of accidents on today’s roads. In proposed system method for detecting drowsiness will be implemented with the help of web camera facing towards drivers face for video capturing. Once the video is captured, monitoring the face region and eyes in order to detect drowsy/fatigue. The system is able to monitor eyes and determines whether the eyes are in an open position or closed state. In such a case when drowsy is detected, a warning signal is issued to alert the driver. The purpose of this project is to advance a system to detect fatigue symptoms in drivers and produce timely warnings that could prevent accidents. Proposed system presents an approach for real-time detection of driver visual drowsiness and attention analysis mechanism.
SOME LABORATORY PARAMETERS AND EPIGENETIC TESTING AMONG PRINTING WORKERS

Introduction: Printing workers are exposed to a variety of chemicals e.g. solvents, ink, that could exert potential health effects. Aim of work: to study some selected biochemical, hematological parameters, and epigenetic changes of four genes among Mansoura University Printing Press (MUPP) workers. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 50 workers in (MUPP) and 50 administrative employees from January 1 to June 30, 2018. A questionnaire was used to study socio-demographic profile and some occupational characteristics, use of personal protection on duty, and hand hygiene facilities. Complete blood picture, some kidney function tests (serum creatinine, urea, and uric acid) and some liver function tests (serum albumin, bilirubin, and liver enzymes), and promoter regions methylation of four genes (P15, iNOS, CYP2E1, MAGE1) were investigated. Results: Both groups had nearly similar blood count. Printing workers had significantly higher serum creatinine (p≤0.001), uric acid (p=0.02), and liver enzymes (p≤0.001) however significantly lower serum albumin (p=0.04). Promoter regions methylation among printing workers was significantly higher for P15, iNOS, and CYP2E1 genes and MAGE1 promoter region un-methylation. There was no statistically significant association of promoter region methylation of P15 and iNOS genes with any of the socio-demographic and occupational characters of the studied groups. However, association between chemical exposure with methylation of CYP2E1 promoter region and association between age, duration of employment, and chemical exposure with un-methylation of MAGE1 promoter region were significant. Conclusion: Printing workers showed disorder of several laboratory parameters and some sort of promoter region methylation of studied genes in the form of significantly higher serum creatinine, uric acid, and liver enzymes while significantly lower serum albumin. They had significantly higher promoter regions methylation for P15, iNOS, and and MAGE1 promoter region un-methylation.
Combination of ANFIS, PSO, FCN and Fuzzy Controller for MPPT of Photovoltaic Arrays

: In this paper, an on-line method for maximum power point tracker using fuzzy set theory is presented to improve energy conversion efficiency. This method is proposed, by using a fuzzy cognitive network, which is in close cooperation with the presented fuzzy controller. The proposed approach is based on the combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) methods, and it is used for the determination of proper weight matrices that lead the Fuzzy Cognitive Map to desired steady states. The method gives a good maximum power operation of any PV. The advantage of the presented method is that the control system can adapt to different changes that might happen during the life cycle of the PV module. All the analytical and simulation results of this research are presented.
Heat Stress Directly Affects Intestinal Integrity in Broiler Chickens

A study using pair-feeding technique was conducted to determine whether heat exposure directly or indirectly (via reduced feed intake) increases intestinal mucosal damage and permeability to endotoxin in broiler chickens. Male broiler chickens (Ross 308), 27-d-old, were subjected to one of the three treatments (n=8): 1) thermo-neutral conditions (24°C) with ad libitum feed intake, 2) heat stress conditions (33°C) with ad libitum feed intake, or 3) pair-feeding under thermo-neutral conditions, with the feed intake identical to that of heat-stressed chickens. Using these groups, two experiments were performed to evaluate temporal changes in the intestinal morphology in response to each treatment. In experiment 1, chickens were sacrificed after 24 h of exposure to the treatment conditions, while in experiment 2, chickens were sacrificed after 12 or 72 h of exposure to the treatment conditions. In experiment 1, exposure to heat stress conditions for 24 h significantly decreased both the villus height to crypt depth ratio and number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)-positive cells in the duodenum and increased the plasma endotoxin concentration. These findings were not observed in pair-fed chickens. In experiment 2, intestinal integrity and function were unaffected by 12 h of heat stress. On the other hand, chickens exposed to heat stress for 72 h exhibited significantly damaged intestinal morphology in the duodenum as well as increased plasma endotoxin concentration; these negative effects were not observed in pair-fed chickens. These findings suggest that the intestinal morphology and permeability changes observed in chickens that are heat-stressed for 24–72 h are due to the heat stress conditions and not due to reduced feed intake.
Spin coating of capillary tubes

We present the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of the spin coating of the inner surface of capillary tubes with viscous liquids, and the modified Rayleigh–Plateau instability that arises when the spinning stops. We show that during the spin coating, the thinning of the film is governed by the balance of viscous and centrifugal forces, resulting in the film thickness scaling as $h\sim t^{-1/2}$. We demonstrate that the method enables us to reach uniform micrometre-scale films on the tube walls. Finally, we discuss potential applications with curable polymers that enable precise control of film geometry and wettability.
IoT Based Hybrid System for Patient Monitoring and Medication

BACKGROUND: In recent years, a lot of research work has been done to transmit vital parameters of the patient using IOT (Internet of Things). The information related to Patient is sent by means of WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) and sensors to the healthcare database. This has been shown a great potential to transmit vital parameter of the patient at a remote location. Remote monitoring of patient(s), including vital signs, sound and video is to be transmitted, particularly when a patient is in transit. By transmitting the imperative parameters of the patient to a specialist diminishes, the ideal opportunity for starting treatment and permits the emergency crew to be better prepared. This will facilitate a doctor to make a diagnostic conclusion. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to develop an advance system to transmit the vital parameters of the patient to the smart phone of the doctor at a remote location. After seeing essential parameters of the patient, the specialist can convey/endorse the medication from the remote area. METHODS: To monitor patient’s data in real-time an android application is developed which helps the medical staff to monitor the patient from remote location. All the patient related information is stored in Real Time Clinical Database. RESULTS: The proposed model will allow the doctors to monitor physiological parameters (HR, NIBP, Temp, ECG, SPO2) of the patient, as well as endorse medication from the remote location. This system will be helpful to provide virtual presence of the doctor inside the ambulance and to provide lifesaving drugs to the patient while the patient is in transit. CONCLUSION: The present invention provides a fully integrated system for the doctor to view the vital signs of the patient from the remote location in real-time.

The characterization of the as-grown carbonaceous was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopic analysis. We confirmed that well graphitized with uniform sized multi-walled carbon nanotubes were nicely grown over Fe-Co bi-metallic catalyst supported on silica at 650 °C.
A Context-Specific Digital Alcohol Brief Intervention in Symptomatic Breast Clinics (Abreast of Health): Development and Usability Study

Background Potentially modifiable risk factors account for approximately 23% of breast cancer cases. In the United Kingdom, alcohol consumption alone is held responsible for 8% to 10% of cases diagnosed every year. Symptomatic breast clinics focus on early detection and treatment, but they also offer scope for delivery of low-cost lifestyle interventions to encourage a cancer prevention culture within the cancer care system. Careful development work is required to effectively translate such interventions to novel settings. Objective The aim of this study was to develop a theory of change and delivery mechanism for a context-specific alcohol and lifestyle brief intervention aimed at women attending screening and symptomatic breast clinics. Methods A formative study combined evidence reviews, analysis of mixed method data, and user experience research to develop an intervention model, following the 6 Steps in Quality Intervention Development (6SQuID) framework. Results A Web app focused on improving awareness, encouraging self-monitoring, and reframing alcohol reduction as a positive choice to improve health was found to be acceptable to women. Accessing this in the clinic waiting area on a tablet computer was shown to be feasible. An important facilitator for change may be the heightened readiness to learn associated with a salient health visit (a teachable moment). Women may have increased motivation to change if they can develop a belief in their capability to monitor and, if necessary, reduce their alcohol consumption. Conclusions Using the 6SQuID framework supported the prototyping and maximized acceptability and feasibility of an alcohol brief intervention for women attending symptomatic breast clinics, regardless of their level of alcohol consumption.
Software tools for conducting bibliometric analysis in science: An up-to-date review

Bibliometrics has become an essential tool for assessing and analyzing the output of scientists, cooperation between universities, the effect of state-owned science funding on national research and development performance and educational efficiency, among other applications. Therefore, professionals and scientists need a range of theoretical and practical tools to measure experimental data. This review aims to provide an up-to-date review of the various tools available for conducting bibliometric and scientometric analyses, including the sources of data acquisition, performance analysis and visualization tools. The included tools were divided into three categories: general bibliometric and performance analysis, science mapping analysis, and libraries; a description of all of them is provided. A comparative analysis of the database sources support, pre-processing capabilities, analysis and visualization options were also provided in order to facilitate its understanding. Although there are numerous bibliometric databases to obtain data for bibliometric and scientometric analysis, they have been developed for a different purpose. The number of exportable records is between 500 and 50,000 and the coverage of the different science fields is unequal in each database. Concerning the analyzed tools, Bibliometrix contains the more extensive set of techniques and suitable for practitioners through Biblioshiny. VOSviewer has a fantastic visualization and is capable of loading and exporting information from many sources. SciMAT is the tool with a powerful pre-processing and export capability. In views of the variability of features, the users need to decide the desired analysis output and chose the option that better fits into their aims.
Photovoltaic Converter Compatible with Real-Time Explicit Power Flow Control Framework for Micro-Grids

This paper describes implementation of specific photovoltaic (PV) converter which is compatible with agentbased real-time explicit power flow control framework, called COMMELEC, proposed for future micro-grids in [1,2]. Developed converter is capable not only to track maximum power point, as conventional PV converters, but to realize specific active and reactive power, or power factor set-points which might be referenced very fast through communication network at 100 ms time-base or less. Main goal for using proposed PV converter interface within the COMMELEC organized micro-grid is to provide mechanism which supports maintaining power balance at all times (observed and influenced at 100 ms). Paper presents converter details about hardware, firmware and applied control algorithms, and at the end it gives test results obtained within working micro-grid demonstrator at DESL Laboratory, EPFL, Lausanne.
Gender Constructing in Political Discourse

The article deals wit gender research in political communication. The authors explore the most typical gender stereotypes for canvassing discourse, analyze the language means of their expression. The gender designing in political communication is among the most language manipulation challenges. Males and females develop different behavioral motives, different strategies and tactics of communication. The male langue behavior is, as a rule, aimed at achieving and preserving independence and a high status. The public expects absence of conflicts from females, tractability, emotionality. The authors believe that a candidate builds up a positive image in the canvassing period with the help of gender stereotypes, which are most successful and effective in the discourseе.

In order to characterize the nitrogen conversion characteristics in a thermophilic aerobic digestion (TAD) system, a laboratory study has been conducted with the analysis of effluent gas and microbial community in the sludge samples. The lab TAD system was operated with HRT of 3 days and 60 °C. Based on the nitrogen mass balance, it has been found that about 2/3 of the daily load of nitrogen was converted to the gaseous form of nitrogen whereas cellular transformation and unmetabolized nitrogen accounted for about 1/3. Among the gaseous nitrogen transformation, significant amount of influent nitrogen had been converted to N2 gas (29% of influent N) and N2O (9% of influent N). Ammonia conversion was only 28% of influent N. The detection of N2O gas is a clear indication of the biological nitrogen reduction process in the thermophilic aerobic digester. No conclusive evidence for the existence of aerobic deammonification has been found. The microbial community analysis showed that thermophilic bacteria such as Bacillus thermocloacae, Bacillus sp. and Clostridial groups dominated in this TAD reactor. The diverse microbial community in TAD sludge may play an important role in removing both strong organics and nitrogen from piggery waste.
