A Robust Stereo Positioning Solution for Multiview Spaceborne SAR Images Based on the Range–Doppler Model

In recent years, the stereo positioning technology based on multiview spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has been widely applied in digital surface model extraction. In this letter, problems of the existing methods based on the range–Doppler (RD) model in a multiview stereo solution are pointed out. A robust stereo positioning solution for multiview spaceborne SAR images based on the RD model is proposed. In the proposed method, the traditional RD model is normalized to reduce the model errors caused by the different scales of the range equation and Doppler equation. A weighting strategy is also proposed to improve the positioning accuracy. This strategy is useful for multiview stereo positioning when using images of different satellites with orbital data of different accuracies. The experiments based on GaoFen-3 and TerraSAR-X satellite data sets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Approach to the Newborn with Disorders of Sex Development

The birth of a baby with atypical external and/or internal genitalia is a family crisis that requires the interaction between multidisciplinary group physicians including pediatric urologists, pediatric endocrinologists, medical geneticists, genetic counsellors, gynecologists, psychologists/psychiatrists and social workers with expertise in this field. Following each of the specialists’ assessment the findings, plan for investigations, the psychosocial situation and gender assignment and treatment should be reviewed among the group members prior to meeting the family. Following the group discussion the information should be presented to the parents using easy to understand language with visual aids and their questions should be answered so that they can make an informed decision regarding gender assignment, surgical options, where medically indicated, and hormone treatment. Potential for sexual relationships and fertility preservation should be discussed. The birth of a baby with abnormalities may be associated with mother/parental guilt feeling and the point that there is nothing that they did or did not do that caused the newborn’s condition. Disorder of sex development (DSD) can be divided into isolated and non-isolated according to the finding on physical examination and should be further classified into abnormalities of chromosomal abnormalities, gonadal defect, internal and external genital abnormalities. Investigations should be directed by the physical examination findings and the results of the radiological, endocrine and genetic investigation including FISH analysis, microarray analysis, DNA analysis using a variety of DSD panels and, when required, whole exome/genome sequencing.
Analysis of Ivermectin as Potential Inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 Using Resonant Recognition Model

With worldwide spread of COVID-19 disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, everyone is trying to find effective cure. One of the quickest approaches is to test existing already approved and safe drugs for possibility of their activity against SARS-CoV-2 virus. One of such possible drugs is ivermectin, which is FDA approved broad spectrum anti parasitic agent. Recently it has been shown that ivermectin has broad range of in vitro antiviral activities and it has been shown that ivermectin is an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2. We have previously used our recently developed extended Resonant Recognition Model (RRM) for small molecules and we have proposed hat drugs like hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine and remdesivir can interfere with SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. Here, we have used an extended RRM model for small molecules to analyze the possibility for ivermectin, an already FDA-approved drug, to interfere with SARS-CoV-2 viral activity, which could lead to an effective cure.
Luminescent polyurethane composite with real-time thermal response via visible signal

Visible signals are vital to human communication. Thermal signals are often difficult to observe unless they are in physical contact with the subject or an infrared thermal imaging system is used. In this study, we prepared a luminescent polyurethane composite (LPC), which can intelligently alter its colour and luminescence based on temperature. The LPC is fabricated from rare-earth luminescent materials (Sr2ZnSi2O7: Eu2+, Dy3+ and Y2O2S: Eu3+, Mg2+, Ti4+), a heat-sensitive rose-red TF-R1 thermochromic pigment (TP), polyurethane (PU), and polyester fabric. Microstructure and crystal structure analyses were carried out to determine the basic material properties of the LPC. The reflectivity and K S−1 value under different temperatures indicate that blue and green light were absorbed by LPC at 25 °C and the absorption decreased at 45 °C. This results in the LPC turning white. The emission spectra demonstrate that the quinoid structure of TP blocked the light of Sr2ZnSi2O7: Eu2+, Dy3+. Meanwhile, the lactone structure of TP allowed the light emission of Sr2ZnSi2O7: Eu2+, Dy3+ and Y2O2S: Eu3+, Mg2+, Ti4+. As a result, LPC emits red light at low temperatures and blue light at high temperatures. The advantage of the fabricated LPC is that the output can be easily manipulated into patterns. The uncured PU could form various graphics to cooperate with visible signals. Therefore, the LPC has significant potential as a functional material in smart clothing, flexible electronics, and wearable devices.
Influence of the Number and Spatial Distribution of Ground Control Points in the Accuracy of UAV-SfM DEMs: An Approach Based on Generalized Additive Models

The accuracy of digital elevation models (DEMs) obtained with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-SfM photogrammetry depends on the quality, number, and distribution of ground control points (GCPs). In this work, generalized additive models (GAMs) are used to analyze the relationship between both, the root mean square error (RMSEz) and the mean absolute error (MAEz) in the $Z$ coordinate, in a group of checkpoints and in a set of covariates related to the number and spatial distribution of the GCPs. Beyond the exploratory data analysis frequently used to analyze the effect of GCPs on UAV-generated DEM accuracy, our approach also allows the determination of the shape of the association between the response (RMSEz and MAEz) and the predictor variables describing GCP number and distribution when they are all combined in a single model. Among the different predictor variables studied, the number of GCPs has, by far, the greatest influence on vertical accuracy. Other variables such as mean distance between control points (CPs) or distance of checkpoints from their nearest CP are statistically significant but contribute much less to explaining RMSEz and MAEz. The analysis was performed by constructing 4600 DEMs from different GCP combinations, divided into four sampling methods: random, stratified, spatially balanced, and contour (edge) distribution. As expected, the random method produced the poorest results, while the stratified and contour distribution methods produced the smallest range and dispersion of errors.
Prevalence of Pineal Gland and Choroid Plexus Calcification Among Iraqi Patients Attending CT Scan Units

Pineal gland calcification is the most common physiological intracranial calcification followed by the choroid plexus calcification. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of the pineal gland and choroid plexus calcifi cation among the Iraqi population attending computed tomography scan units in Baghdad, estimate the mean diameters of the pineal gland calcification, and to detect any correlation between these calcifications with age and sex. This multi-centric cross-sectional tudy examined 485 CT scans of Iraqi patients between the ages of 1 and 100 years attending CT scan units in the period 1 December 2018 to 1 A pril 2019. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. The prevalence of pineal gland calcification was found to be 68 % with the 30-39 age group and male sex predominance. It was found to increase after the first decade of life without real consistency. The mean for pineal gland calcification anterior-posterior diameter was 4.55 ±2.13 and the mean of the right-left diameter was 3.95 ±1.54. These diameters were found to differ according to sex and age. Choroid plexus calcification was found to have a prevalence of 53.6 %. In most c ases, choroid plexus calcification was found bilaterally (77.3 %). There was no difference in sex, but choroid plexus. In conclusion, calcification was noticed to increase gradually according to age. Both pineal gland and choroid plexus calcification have a relatively high p revalence. While pineal gland calcification formation was demonstrated to have a close relation to age and sex, choroid plexus calcificati on formation was noticed to relate only to age.
Sustainable Agri-Food Processes and Circular Pathways in a Life Cycle Perspectives: Where Is Applicative Research Going?

This study aims at providing a systematic and critical review on the state-of-the-art of life cycle applications from the circular economy point of view. In particular, the main objective is to understand how researchers adapt life cycle approaches for the measurement of the empirical circular pathways of agri-food systems along the overall lifespan. To perform the literature review, PRISMA protocol was considered to conduct a review by qualitative synthesis. Specifically, an evaluation matrix has been set up to gather and synthesize research evidence, by classifying papers according to several integrated criteria. The literature search was carried out employing scientific databases. Findings evidence that the most common circularity topics are about closed-loop production systems, i.e. nutrient recovery for agricultural purposes, production of renewable energy, valorization of residues and wastes as fertilizers, food waste, and agro-wastes recycling for agriculture. To evaluate the benefits/impacts of CE strategies, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) proved to be the most common methodology applied by authors, as it can help to meet the main CE requirements slowing and closing resource loops.
snpR: User friendly population genomics for SNP data sets with categorical metadata

The analysis of genomic data can be an intimidating process, particularly for researchers who are not experienced programmers. Commonly used analyses are spread across many programs, each requiring their own specific input formats, and so data must often be repeatedly reorganized and transformed into new formats. Analyses often require splitting data according to metadata variables such as population or family, which can be challenging to manage in large data sets. Here, we introduce snpR, a user‐friendly data analysis package in R for processing SNP genomic data. snpR is designed to automate data subsetting and analyses across categorical metadata while also streamlining repeated analyses by integrating approaches contained in many different packages in a single ecosystem. snpR facilitates iterative and efficient analyses centred on a single R object for an entire analysis pipeline.
Pendampingan “Mb TESI” (Membuat Booster ASI) Daun Teh Torbangun

Pendampingan dalam melakukan manajemen ASI pada ibu diharapkan akan dapat membantu ibu dalam mencukupkan kebutuhan ASI pada bayi. Masalah dalam pemberian ASI adalah beberapa pernyataan ibu postpartum yang menyatakan bahwa produksi ASI sedikit sehingga bayi tidak cukup minum ASI dan harus memberikan susu formula. Beberapa penelitian telah membuktikan bahwa panganan khas lokal Sumatera Utara, daun torbangun dapat berfungsi sebagai laktagogum, yaitu zat yang dapat meningkatkan dan melancarkan produksi ASI karena mengandung zat saponin, flavonoid, polifenol yang dapat meningkatkan hormon prolaktin dan oksitosin sehingga dapat meningkatkan produksi ASI. Daun torbangun biasanya diolah oleh masyarakat sebagai panganan sayur, namun olahan ini tidak tahan lama dan tidak dapat tersedia setiap waktu, sehingga olahan teh torbangun diharapkan menjadi solusi pemenuhan suplemen pendorong produksi ASI ibu postpartum. Menurut hasil penelitian bahwa pengolahan teh dari daun torbangun dengan suhu pengeringan 500C, dengan lama pengeringan 3 jam merupakan cara olahan terbaik karena kandungan zat yang terjaga, dan lebih disukai dari aroma, warna dan rasa.

The role of mangrove, seagrass and coral reefs for coral reef fish communities

We examined the effect of mangrove, seagrass meadows, reef characteristics, and complexity of seascape heterogeneity on reef fish assemblages in Ternate, Natuna and Bintan-Indonesia. The analytical approach of seascape ecology was undertaken, using field survey data of reef fish community and maps of mangrove covers and habitat benthic. The fish data had been collected during reef health monitoring in 2015 through the Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program-Coral Triangle Initiative. Map of benthic habitats and mangroves was provided by Indonesia’s data custodians in 2015-2016. Generalized Additive Models were performed to analyze non-linear and non-monotonic relationships. The results showed that mangroves and seagrasses were essential for reef fishes, and as expected, reef characteristics were also important. Accordingly, the conservations of coral reefs should consider mangrove and seagrass protection and vice versa. Therefore, this information could be considered for managers of marine protected areas (MPA) to better practice MPA management.

Composition and catch number of fish landings on the eastern coast of the Aceh region

Information on the composition and number of catches that comprise fish landings is an essential component of fisheries management. Because such data is especially limited with regard to the eastern coast of the Aceh region of Sumatra, the present study examined fish landing characteristics for this region. Data were collected from November 24 to December 24, 2019, in seven fish landing sites (TPI) in three districts (Aceh Utara, Bireuen, and Lhokseumawe) on the eastern coast of the Aceh region. Fishes were recorded daily in each TPI during the study period, and a total of 32 fish categories were identified. Pelagic fish dominated the catch: longtail tuna, scad, island mackerel, yellowfin tuna, Carangidae, frigate tuna, skipjack tuna, albacore, kawakawa, and white snapper were the most landed fish during the survey period. The study also showed marine fisheries production to be 181,994 kg/month, or an average of 7,000 kg/day. Across the three districts, Bireuen had the highest fisheries production (122,683 kg), followed by Aceh Utara (35,092 kg), and Lhokseumawe (24,220 kg). This study provides baseline data that will be valuable in developing an effective fisheries management strategy plan in the region.
Hydration and Solvation Effect of Glycine and Glycylglycine Molecules with β-Cyclodextrin in Aqueous Media. A Thermodynamic Characteristic of Interaction

Abstract The densities, ρ and viscosities, η have been measured for DL- glycine (Gly) and glycylglycine (Gly-Gly) in aqueous β cyclodextrin, (β-CD) at temperature 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15 K. Interaction between macrocyclic β-CD and amino acids was studied by two independent technique: density and viscosity. The two different intensive properties are used to obtain various thermodynamic characteristics of the material behavior. Using the measured density data the apparent molar volumes, Vϕ, partial molar volume at infinite dilution, Vϕο, $V_\phi ^o,$ experimental slope, SV, isobaric expansibility, ϕE0, $\phi _E^0,$ and the partial molar volume of transfer at infinite dilution, ΔVϕ(tr)ο $\Delta V_{\phi (tr)}^o$ have been obtained. Moreover, the Falkenhagen’s theoretical coefficient, A, Jones-Dole coefficient, B, free energies of activation of viscous flow per mole of solvent, Δμ1ο# $\Delta \mu _1^{o\# }$ and per mole of solute, Δμ2ο#, $\Delta \mu _2^{o\# },$ enthalpy, ΔHo# and entropy, ΔSo# of activation of viscous flow have been evaluated by using viscosity data. The negative value of transfer volume for Gly and Gly-Gly in aqueous β-CD suggests that the hydrophobic-hydrophilic and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions are predominating over ionic-hydrophilic and hydrophilic-hydrophilic interactions. The results indicate the formation of a stable complexation between the β-CD cavity and structural hydration effect of amino acids on the thermodynamic of their interactions in solutions.
CD16+ Cells and Costimulatory Molecules of Lymphocyte Activation Present inside Human Kidney Grafts and in Blood Circulation

Background: We studied the expression of important costimulatory molecules of lymphocyte activation and the presence of CD16+ cells on aspiration biopsies of kidney transplants, measured three soluble factors and when indicated tested their robustness in diagnosing acute rejection. Methods: Fine-needle aspiration biopsies were performed either on days seven or 14 - 30 post-transplantation among stable kidney transplants and on the day of acute rejection diagnosis, while a sample of peripheral blood was collected simultaneously. The cyto preparations were studied by the enzymatic avidin biotin complex staining. The immunocytochemistry was directed to CD16, CD28, CD152, ICOS, CD40, CD154, CD26 and CD27. We performed the analysis in the peripheral blood by ELISA for soluble(s) CD16, CD26, and CD154. Results: The group of acute rejection cases showed a significant up-regulated expression of CD16, CD26, ICOS and CD40 as compared to the group of stable cases. Both sCD16 and sCD154 were significantly higher in the blood samples of the group with acute rejection. Thymoglobulin down-regulated CD154 and sCD16. CD16, CD26 and ICOS exhibited very high sensitivity and specificity for acute rejection diagnosis. Conclusions: The presence of CD16+ cells inside the graft emerged as a distinct player in acute rejection, confirming other previous reports whereas we first document that in human kidney transplants, ICOS and CD26 are significantly up-regulated and both reached positive predictive values for acute rejection ≥ 80%. The other costimulatory molecules, with the exception of CD40, though widely known, did not show robust association with immune events.
Continuous discrete cubature quadrature Kalman filter

In this paper, cubature quadrature Kalman filter algorithm has been reformulated for nonlinear state space model of continuous‐discrete nature. The developed method is named as continuous‐discrete cubature quadrature Kalman filter (CD‐CQKF). The formulated algorithm has been applied to track the trajectory of an aircraft. The process is described with coordinated turn model. From the simulation result, it has been observed that the developed CD‐CQKF provides better estimation compared with continuous‐discrete cubature Kalman filter.
