MASSIVE MIMO HYBRID PRECODING

Recently, the security of Internet of Things (IoT) has been an issue of great concern. Physical layer security methods can help IoT networks achieve information-theoretical secrecy. Nevertheless, utilizing physical security methods, such as artificial noise (AN) may cost extra power, which leads to low secure energy efficiency. In this paper, the hybrid precoding technique is employed to improve the secure energy efficiency of the IoT network. A secure energy efficiency optimization problem is formulated for the IoT network. Due to the nonconvexity of the problem and the feasible domain, the problem is firstly transformed into a tractable suboptimal form. Then a secure hybrid precoding energy efficient (SEEHP) algorithm is proposed to tackle the problem. Numerical results indicate that the proposed SEEHP algorithm achieves higher secure energy efficiency compared with three existing physical layer security algorithms, especially when the number of transmit antennas is large.
Value Addition to Watermelon Rind Through Jam Preparation

An experiment was conducted at Postharvest Laboratory, Department of Horticulture, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during February 2018 to December 2018 to add value to Watermelon rind and to study quality of watermelon rind jam as influenced by different concentration of rinds and sugar with flavors. This single factors experiment was consisted of sixteen treatments with three replications and laid out in CRD. The treatments were T1F0=50% rind+50% sugar+no flavor; T1F1=50% rind+50% sugar+strawberry flavor; T1F2=50% rind+50% sugar+pineapple flavor; T1F3=50% rind+50% sugar+vanila flavor; T2F0=80% rind+20% sugar+no flavor; T2F1=80% rind+20% sugar+strawberry flavor; T2F2=80% rind+20% sugar+pineapple flavor; T2F3=80% rind+20% sugar+vanila flavor; T3F0=60% rind+40% sugar+no flavor; T3F1=60% rind+40% sugar+strawberry flavor; T3F2=60% rind+40% sugar+pineapple flavor; T3F3=60% rind+40% sugar+vanila flavor; T4F0=40% rind+60% sugar+no flavor; T4F1=40% rind+60% sugar+strawberry flavor; T4F2=40% rind+60% sugar+pineapple flavor; T4F3=40% rind+60% sugar+vanila flavor. At first qualitative test was done for prepared jam. Then organolaptic test was done and last of all various chemical changes were determined with the storage period. T1F1 was statistically best. The chemical analysis of T1F1 jam was pH (3.80), TSS (6.00 %,), TA (2.48%), vitamin C (0.26mg/100g). This suggested that 50% rind+50% sugar and strawberry flavor was the promising formulation for the preparation of good quality of watermelon rind jam.
Politics and Policy of Health Reform Addressing Social Determinants of Health through Medicaid : Lessons from Oregon Jonah

States and policymakers have expressed a strong interest in using Medicaid to address social determinants of health (SDOH). While this approach holds promise for improving outcomes and reducing costs, using Medicaid to pay for services outside the medical system creates challenges. This article examines efforts to address SDOH in Oregon, which, as part of its 2012 Medicaid waiver, incorporated health-related services that lacked billing or encounter codes and were not included in Oregon’s Medicaid state plan as a strategy to improve outcomes and control costs. We examine the varieties of health-related services that were used and describe the specific challenges in deploying and paying for these services. We conclude with lessons from Oregon that can help states and the federal government as they work to address SDOH.
In vivo evaluation of vigor in naked and husked oat cultivars under drought stress conditions

Considering the prevention of crop production, aimed at adaptation to climate changes, searching for or developing genotypes resistant to water deficit is a challenge for modern agriculture and a strategic goal of plant breeding. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of drought stress on the vigor of naked and husked oat ( Avena sativa L.) cultivars. The studies concerned eight naked oat cultivars and two husked oat cultivars characterized by high germination capacity (above 95%). Seeds of naked oat cultivars showed susceptibility to varied thermal conditions during drought simulated by the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) at a concentration of -1.5 MPa. An increase in temperature from 10 to 20 °C resulted in an average 37% increase in the number of normally germinating seeds, and in a more than 40% increase in germination rate, as well as in a 25% decrease in average germination time. A distinct increase in osmotic potential from -1 to -2 MPa during drought stress induction resulted in 15% decrease in vigor of husked cultivars measured by the percentage of normally developed seedlings. The vigor of oat cultivars, evaluated on the basis of electrical conductivity of exudates, was modified by genotypic variability. In naked cultivars, on average, 60% lower values were noted. The coefficients of correlation between electrical conductivity of exudates and germination capacity (r = -0.784**) or frequency of normally developed seedlings (r = -0.919**) confirm the highly significant interrelationship between the methods used for the evaluation of oat seeds under drought conditions. ABSTRACT
Cooperation Network in Biology and Chemistry Literature during 2014 – 2018 : Construction and Structural Characteristics

How to explore the interaction between an individual researcher and others in scientific research, find out the degree of association among individual researchers, and evaluate the contribution of researchers to the whole according to the mechanism and law of interaction, is of great significance to grasp the overall trend of the field. Scholars mostly use bibliometrics to solve these problems and analyze the citation and cooperation among academic achievements from the dimension of “quantity”. However, there is still no mature method for scholars to explore the evolution of knowledge and the relationship between authors; this paper tries to fill this gap. We narrow down the scope of research and focus the research content on the literature in biology and chemistry, collect all the papers from PubMed system (a very comprehensive authoritative database of biomedical papers) during 2014–2018, and take year as a specific analysis unit so as to improve the accuracy of the analysis. Then, we construct the author cooperation networks. Finally, through the above methods and steps, we identify the core authors of each year, analyze the recent cooperative relationships among authors, and predict some changes in the cooperative relationship among the authors based on the networks’ analytical data, evaluating and estimating the role that authors play in the overall field. Therefore, we expect that the cooperative authorship networks supported by the complex network theory can better explain the author’s cooperative relationship.
Effects of Diet on Sleep Quality 1 , 2

There is much emerging information surrounding the impact of sleep duration and quality on food choice and consumption in both children and adults. However, less attention has been paid to the effects of dietary patterns and specific foods on nighttime sleep. Early studies have shown that certain dietary patterns may affect not only daytime alertness but also nighttime sleep. In this review, we surveyed the literature to describe the role of food consumption on sleep. Research has focused on the effects of mixed meal patterns, such as high-carbohydrate plus lowfat or low-carbohydrate diets, over the short term on sleep. Such studies highlight a potential effect of macronutrient intakes on sleep variables, particularly alterations in slow wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep with changes in carbohydrate and fat intakes. Other studies instead examined the intake of specific foods, consumed at a fixed time relative to sleep, on sleep architecture and quality. Those foods, specifically milk, fatty fish, tart cherry juice, and kiwifruit, are reviewed here. Studies provide some evidence for a role of certain dietary patterns and foods in the promotion of high-quality sleep, but more studies are necessary to confirm those preliminary findings.

Fuzzy Resource Pre-processing and Compress and Join Gang Polling Evaluation Scheduling in Cloud Computing

Throughout the numerous processing in cloud computing, an essential concern is to scheduling jobs in parallel to cloud data centers. An aim of this paper is to design a Fuzzy logic system. Gang forming with scheduling policy improves the performance of computation cost and time of different cloud workloads. In this work a novel framework for cloud workload management is modelled. In which clustering of cloud workload is done based on Manhattan distance based fuzzy clustering and scheduling of workload is done based on Compress & Join Gang Polling Evaluation scheduling algorithm (C&JGPESA). In order to provide effective utilization of resources, Gang scheduling algorithm is used based on their performance to fit the same number of applications in less time slots. Finally proposed work comparison is compared with computation cost, make span and response time and it achieves around 60%, 97% and 80% greater performance than both existing works.
2 5 M ay 2 01 9 Non-renewal resetting of scaled Brownian motion

We investigate an intermittent stochastic process, in which the diffusive motion with timedependent diffusion coefficient D(t) ∼ t, α > 0 (scaled Brownian motion), is stochastically reset to its initial position and starts anew. The resetting follows a renewal process with either exponential or power-law distribution of the waiting times between successive renewals. The resetting events, however, do not affect the time dependence of the diffusion coefficient, so that the whole process appears to be a non-renewal one. We discuss the mean squared displacement of a particle and probability density function of its positions in such a process. We show that scaled Brownian motion with resetting demonstrates a rich behavior whose properties essentially depend on the interplay of the parameters of the resetting process and the particle’s displacement in a free motion. The motion of particles can remain either almost unaffected by resetting, but can also get slowed down or even be completely suppressed. Especially interesting are the nonstationary situations in which the mean squared displacement stagnates but the distribution of positions does not tend to any steady state. This behavior is compared to the situation (discussed in the other paper of this series) in which the memory on the value of the diffusion coefficient at a resetting time is erased, so that the whole process is a fully renewal one. We show that the properties of the probability densities in such processes (erazing or retaining the memory on the diffusion coefficient) are vastly different.
Effect of Shield Gas on Surface Finish of Laser Powder Bed Produced Parts

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals is a novel manufacturing technique that allows for net-shape or near net-shape parts to be produced quickly. Within additive manufacturing a large concern is the produced surface finish, especially for upward and downward facing surfaces on complex geometries. Surface finish is of utmost importance for many engineering applications. In melting of powders, the gas used dominates the thermal conductivity of the metal powder. Manipulation of the type of shield gas may provide a means to modify the surface finish without adjustment of established lasing parameters and thereby produce a higher quality part with minimal post processing. These results have potential applications in aerospace, automotive, and biomedical sectors where surface finish requirements coupled with complex geometries are extremely common. Introduction Surface finish is an important consideration of any part that can be subjected to fatigue loading as it can dramatically affect part life. With traditional manufacturing surface finish control is critical to reduce friction and noise. Additively Manufactured (AM) produced parts are no different with the ability to control surface finish being critical. AM parts, particularly those of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) are commonly rougher than machined counterparts and this is inherent to the process. The downward facing surfaces are often rough in L-PBF produced parts due to overmelting and a limited heat conduction path provided by the metal powder that the surface is being deposited upon [1] [2]. It has been found that the thermal conductivity of metallic powder is dominated by the thermal conductivity of the gas that fills the pores between the powder particles [3] [4]. This has particular implication to powder-bed based additive manufacturing where overhanging and edge features are built on top of or bordering powder. Strano et al investigated the effect of powder particles on the surface finish of L-PBF produced parts [5]. Little research has been done, however, in how the inert gas selection affects the resulting surface finish. Shield gas research is traditionally constrained to traditional welding technologies. It has long been known that the shield gas can affect melt pool morphology as well as stability in the traditional welding process [7] [8] [9]. The effect on morphology should be further enhanced within the powder bed process when the results are coupled with the effect of the metal powder. The hypothesis is that by adjusting the shield gas used surface finish can be improved in the laser powder bed fusion process. 438 Solid Freeform Fabrication 2018: Proceedings of the 29th Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium – An Additive Manufacturing Conference
Axon death signalling in Wallerian degeneration among species and in disease

Axon loss is a shared feature of nervous systems being challenged in neurological disease, by chemotherapy or mechanical force. Axons take up the vast majority of the neuronal volume, thus numerous axonal intrinsic and glial extrinsic support mechanisms have evolved to promote lifelong axonal survival. Impaired support leads to axon degeneration, yet underlying intrinsic signalling cascades actively promoting the disassembly of axons remain poorly understood in any context, making the development to attenuate axon degeneration challenging. Wallerian degeneration serves as a simple model to study how axons undergo injury-induced axon degeneration (axon death). Severed axons actively execute their own destruction through an evolutionarily conserved axon death signalling cascade. This pathway is also activated in the absence of injury in diseased and challenged nervous systems. Gaining insights into mechanisms underlying axon death signalling could therefore help to define targets to block axon loss. Herein, we summarize features of axon death at the molecular and subcellular level. Recently identified and characterized mediators of axon death signalling are comprehensively discussed in detail, and commonalities and differences across species highlighted. We conclude with a summary of engaged axon death signalling in humans and animal models of neurological conditions. Thus, gaining mechanistic insights into axon death signalling broadens our understanding beyond a simple injury model. It harbours the potential to define targets for therapeutic intervention in a broad range of human axonopathies.
Immunopathology of Recurrent Vulvovaginal Infections: New Aspects and Research Directions

Recurrent vulvovaginal infections (RVVI), a devastating group of mucosal infection, are severely affecting women's quality of life. Our understanding of the vaginal defense mechanisms have broadened recently with studies uncovering the inflammatory nature of bacterial vaginosis, inflammatory responses against novel virulence factors, innate Type 17 cells/IL-17 axis, neutrophils mediated killing of pathogens by a novel mechanism, and oxidative stress during vaginal infections. However, the pathogens have fine mechanisms to subvert or manipulate the host immune responses, hijack them and use them for their own advantage. The odds of hijacking increases, due to impaired immune responses, the net magnitude of which is the result of numerous genetic variations, present in multiple host genes, detailed in this review. Thus, by underlining the role of the host immune responses in disease etiology, modern research has clarified a major hypothesis shift in the pathophilosophy of RVVI. This knowledge can further be used to develop efficient immune-based diagnosis and treatment strategies for this enigmatic disease conditions. As for instance, plasma-derived MBL replacement, adoptive T-cell, and antibody-based therapies have been reported to be safe and efficacious in infectious diseases. Therefore, these emerging immune-therapies could possibly be the future therapeutic options for RVVI.
A Dynamic Optimality Principle for Water Use Strategies Explains Isohydric to Anisohydric Plant Responses to Drought

Optimality principles that underlie models of stomatal kinetics require identifying and formulating the gain and the costs involved in opening stomata. While the gain has been linked to larger carbon acquisition, there is still debate as to the costs that limit stomatal opening. This work presents an Euler-Lagrange framework that accommodates water use strategy and various costs through the formulation of constraints. The reduction in plant hydraulic conductance due to cavitation is added as a new constraint above and beyond the hydrological balance and analyzed for three different types of whole-plant vulnerability curves. Model results show that differences in vulnerability curves alone lead to relatively iso- and aniso-hydric stomatal behavior. Moreover, this framework explains how the presence of competition (biotic or abiotic) for water alters stomatal response to declining soil water content. This contribution corroborates previous research that predicts that a plant's environment (e.g., competition, soil processes) significantly affects its response to drought and supplies the required mathematical machinery to represent this complexity. The method adopted here disentangles cause and effect of the opening and closure of stomata and complements recent mechanistic models of stomatal response to drought.
Comparison of Short-Sprint and Heavy Strength Training on Cycling Performance

Purpose To compare the effects of short-sprint training (SST) and heavy-strength training (HST) following a 4-week strength-training period on sprint and endurance capacities in well-trained cyclists. Methods Twenty-eight competitive cyclists (age 29 ± 6 years) with maximal oxygen uptake () of 61.1 ± 5.9 mL⋅min–1⋅kg–1 participated. After a 4-weeks preparation strength-training period, the participants were randomized to add either HST or SST to their usual endurance training for the subsequent 6 weeks. Body composition, and power output at blood lactate concentration ([La–]) of 4 mmol⋅L–1, as well as a 100 min cycling test including 6 and 30-s sprints, 60 min cycling at [La–] of 2 mmol⋅L–1 and 5-min all-out cycling were performed before the 4-week preparation strength-training period, and before and after the 6-week intervention period. In addition, 1 repetition maximum (RM) in half-squat and 55-m maximal sprints on the cyclists’ own bikes were measured before and after the 6-week intervention. Results SST was superior to HST in 6-s sprint performance, both in a fresh state (4.7 ± 2.6% vs. 1.1 ± 3.5%) and after prolong cycling (6.1 ± 1.8% vs. 1.8 ± 4.2%), in 30-s sprint (3.7 ± 2.8% vs. 1.3 ± 2.5%) and in 55-m seated sprint on own bike (4.3 ± 2.1% vs. 0.2 ± 1.8%) (all p < 0.002). HST induced a larger 1RM improvement in the half-squat test than SST (9.3 ± 3.6% vs. −3.9 ± 3.8%; p < 0.001). No group differences were revealed in the 5-min all-out test, , power output at 4 mmol⋅L–1 [La–], or in gross efficiency. Conclusion SST led to a greater increase in average and peak power output on all sprint tests compared to HST, whereas HST led to a greater increase in maximal strength. No group differences were found in relative changes in endurance capacities. Altogether, our results show a high degree of specificity in the adaptations of both SST and HST.
TRIM21—From Intracellular Immunity to Therapy

Tripartite motif containing-21 (TRIM21) is a cytosolic ubiquitin ligase and antibody receptor that provides a last line of defense against invading viruses. It does so by acting as a sensor that intercepts antibody-coated viruses that have evaded extracellular neutralization and breached the cell membrane. Upon engagement of the Fc of antibodies bound to viruses, TRIM21 triggers a coordinated effector and signaling response that prevents viral replication while at the same time inducing an anti-viral cellular state. This dual effector function is tightly regulated by auto-ubiquitination and phosphorylation. Therapeutically, TRIM21 has been shown to be detrimental in adenovirus based gene therapy, while it may be favorably utilized to prevent tau aggregation in neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, TRIM21 may synergize with the complement system to block viral replication as well as transgene expression. TRIM21 can also be utilized as a research tool to deplete specific proteins in cells and zebrafish embryos. Here, we review our current biological understanding of TRIM21 in light of its versatile functions.
Connexin43 as a Tumor Suppressor: Proposed Connexin43 mRNA-circularRNAs-microRNAs Axis Towards Prevention and Early Detection in Breast Cancer

Breast cancer (BC) is a global public health burden, constituting the highest cancer incidence in women worldwide. Connexin43 (Cx43) is a member of a family of transmembrane proteins responsible in part for intercellular communication between adjacent breast epithelial cells, via gap junctions. Cx43 plays key role in mammary gland development and differentiation and its spatio-temporal perturbation contributes to tumorigenesis. Thus, Cx43 acts as a breast tumor-suppressor. Signaling pathways and phenotypes downstream of Cx43 mRNA loss/mis-localization in breast cells have been well-studied. However, axes parallel to Cx43 loss are less understood. microRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that repress translation and circularRNAs (circRNAs) are a class of endogenous RNAs that originate from RNA splicing and act as miRNA “sponges”. CircRNAs and miRNAs are dysregulated in cancers and are highly abundant and stable in the circulation. Thus, they present as attractive liquid biopsy cancer biomarkers. Here, an axis for Cx43 mRNA-circRNAs-miRNAs interactions along BC initiation (denoted by loss of breast epithelial polarity and development of hyperplastic phenotypes) is proposed to potentially serve as a signature biomarker toward BC early-onset detection and prevention.
