Learning-Based Prediction of Pose-Dependent Dynamics

The constantly increasing demand for both, higher production output and more complex product geometries, which can only be achieved using five-axis milling processes, requires elaborated analysis approaches to optimize the regarded process. This is especially necessary when the used tool is susceptible to vibrations, which can deteriorate the quality of the machined workpiece surface. The prediction of tool vibrations based on the used NC path and process configuration can be achieved by, e.g., applying geometric physically-based process simulation systems prior to the machining process. However, recent research showed that the dynamic behavior of the system, consisting of the machine tool, the spindle, and the milling tool, can change significantly when using different inclination angles to realize certain machined workpiece shapes. Intermediate dynamic properties have to be interpolated based on measurements due to the impracticality of measuring the frequency response functions for each position and inclination angle that are used along the NC path. This paper presents a learning-based approach to predict the frequency response function for a given pose of the tool center point.
Maxwell Equations without a Polarization Field, Using a Paradigm from Biophysics

When forces are applied to matter, the distribution of mass changes. Similarly, when an electric field is applied to matter with charge, the distribution of charge changes. The change in the distribution of charge (when a local electric field is applied) might in general be called the induced charge. When the change in charge is simply related to the applied local electric field, the polarization field P is widely used to describe the induced charge. This approach does not allow electrical measurements (in themselves) to determine the structure of the polarization fields. Many polarization fields will produce the same electrical forces because only the divergence of polarization enters Maxwell’s first equation, relating charge and electric forces and field. The curl of any function can be added to a polarization field P without changing the electric field at all. The divergence of the curl is always zero. Additional information is needed to specify the curl and thus the structure of the P field. When the structure of charge changes substantially with the local electric field, the induced charge is a nonlinear and time dependent function of the field and P is not a useful framework to describe either the electrical or structural basis-induced charge. In the nonlinear, time dependent case, models must describe the charge distribution and how it varies as the field changes. One class of models has been used widely in biophysics to describe field dependent charge, i.e., the phenomenon of nonlinear time dependent induced charge, called ‘gating current’ in the biophysical literature. The operational definition of gating current has worked well in biophysics for fifty years, where it has been found to makes neurons respond sensitively to voltage. Theoretical estimates of polarization computed with this definition fit experimental data. I propose that the operational definition of gating current be used to define voltage and time dependent induced charge, although other definitions may be needed as well, for example if the induced charge is fundamentally current dependent. Gating currents involve substantial changes in structure and so need to be computed from a combination of electrodynamics and mechanics because everything charged interacts with everything charged as well as most things mechanical. It may be useful to separate the classical polarization field as a component of the total induced charge, as it is in biophysics. When nothing is known about polarization, it is necessary to use an approximate representation of polarization with a dielectric constant that is a single real positive number. This approximation allows important results in some cases, e.g., design of integrated circuits in silicon semiconductors, but can be seriously misleading in other cases, e.g., ionic solutions.
Role of Social Orientation and Culture in Emotion

Through cultural systems, emotions are understood as something, that is, as the object of our experiences, and as a diverse system of self-engaged signals. Knowing how we feel, learning about emotional experiences, quoting Walker Percy (1958), " conscious of something being something ". And it always gives us back to the culture system, in which any object — emotion, person and event — is called something. In the current report, we study aspects of social orientation (i.e., self-reports of participation in social activities and prioritization of social and family goals) and how culture shapes emotions. Current study reports to identify social and cultural characteristics are associated with emotions. Emotions combine features of body, gesture and cultural meaning.
Vepris nobilis plant: a potential source of anticancer agents

Background: Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Current cancer therapy is costly, it has poor therapeutic outcomes and many side effects. Therefore, new medications are needed. Plants have been used as sources of anticancer drugs. Vepris species have anticancer properties. The purpose of this study is to assess Vepris nobilis, a plant found in Kenya as a potential source of anticancer drugs.Methods: The dichloromethane/methanol (CH2Cl2/MeOH) 1:1 extract of the stem bark of Vepris nobilis led to the isolation of an alkaloid named, 4,6-dimethoxy-7-((3-methylbuta-1,3-dien-1-yl)oxy)furo[2,3-b]quinolone. SwissADME online tool was used to assess the compound’s pharmacokinetic parameters. Pass online tool identified potential targets while protox server described the toxicity of the compound. Chimera and Avogadro softwares were used for molecular docking studies.Results: In-silico pharmacokinetic studies, showed that the isolated compound complied with Lipinski rule of five, it showed high gastrointestinal activity, and it also inhibits cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoforms 1A2, 2C9 and 2C19. In toxicity studies the compound was relatively safe with a predicted median lethal dose (LD50) of 1600 mg/kg, apart from potential immunotoxicity and mutagenicity. Molecular docking studies demonstrated that, the compound has potential anticancer activity, it interacted with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) topoisomerase I in an almost similar manner to camptothecin though it had less binding potential.Conclusions: 4,6-dimethoxy-7-((3-methylbuta-1,3-dien-1-yl)oxy) furo[2,3-b]quinolone derived from Vepris nobilis is a potential drug for the management of cancer which can be administered orally.
Organizational culture and nurse’s turnover: A systematic literature review

ABSTRACT Background: Nurses turnover is a current and international problem which is closely related to the organizational culture. Despite being widely discussed, the evidence available in the literature is dispersed and most studies only concern specific health contexts and sectors. The aim of this study is to identify scientific evidence on the factors of organizational culture associated with nurses turnover. Methods: A systematic literature review was carried out between January 2014 and December 2018. The methodological quality of the articles was assessed through the Joanna Briggs Institute and Registered Nurses Association of Ontario guidelines. Results: Nurses’ turnover in healthcare organizations is complex and multifactorial. The evidence shows individual and organizational factors that influence nurses’ turnover. Some retention strategies to reduce this phenomenon were also identified in literature. Conclusions: Nursing managers should seriously consider the problem of nurses’ turnover, as it affects the productivity and quality of care provided in health organizations. By working the factors associated with organizational culture, organizational climate and leadership, it will be possible to reduce nurses’ turnover rates in different healthcare contexts. In the development of public policies, decision-makers should take into account two fundamental aspects: the needs and expectations of the population; and the stability of professional groups. It is suggested to investigate this issue in Portugal.
A Broadband Filter Transmitarray Based on Quasi-Yagi Antenna Element

A transmitarray (TA) antenna operating at X-band with band-pass filtering performance is presented. The proposed antenna is composed of a wideband TA and a filter feed antenna. Two quasi-Yagi antennas are connected as the unit cell of the proposed TA, leading to high transmission efficiency over a broadband range. By simply changing the length of the transmission lines, 360° phase shift is obtained. To verify this idea, a design with 16×26-unit cells is simulated and optimized, showing that approximately 14.5% 1-dB and 24.6% 3-dB gain bandwidths are achieved, respectively, with the peak gain of 23.1 dBi. Moreover, by employing the bandpass filter feed antenna, good bandpass filtering property is achieved, showing that the upper and lower out-of-band suppression in the 0.3GHz range can reach 27.3dB and 24.2dB, respectively, with the passband range from 9.6GHz to 11.9GHz.
Roll the Dice—Let’s See If Differences Really Matter! Accounting Judgments and Sustainable Decisions in the Light of a Gender and Age Analysis

This research aims to investigate whether gender and age of Professional Accountants influence their opinion upon accounting judgments and sustainable decision-making. Through a questionnaire, accountants were interrogated about their education, professional profile, age, gender, personality traits, and their perception on accounting judgment and professional behavior. On one hand, results showed that women accountants are more inclined to comply with accounting regulations and more interested in following an ethical behavior. Moreover, women tend to be more interested in fulfilling managers’ expectations and more willing to collaborate. On the other hand, men accountants proved to be more independent in judgments and more skeptical. Furthermore, men have a greater propensity to make accurate, sustainable judgments, considering the evaluation of goodwill as more important than women. However, no correlations were found between age, gender and accountants’ perception on the theoretical framework of professional accounting judgment. As the age of accountants grows, the compliance degree to regulations increases. This study adds value to gender accounting literature by the way it examines accountants’ behavior and perception towards accounting judgments and sustainable decisions in correlation to gender diversity and age.
Predisposing factors and outcome of uterine rupture in Jos, North-central Nigeria

Background: Uterine rupture has continued to be an obstetric catastrophe with tragic maternal and foetal outcomes particularly in Nigeria.Methods: an institutional, cross sectional retrospective study was carried out at Jos University Teaching Hospital, North-Central Nigeria. Case files of mothers with uterine rupture managed at the hospital from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2019 were retrieved and included in the study. Data extracted from case files included maternal age, parity, gestational age, booking status, presence of uterine scar, obstetric interventions prior to rupture, site of rupture, type of surgery, units of blood transfused, intensive care unit admission and duration of hospital stay and maternal or foetal death.Results: the incidence of uterine rupture was 1 in 497 deliveries (0.2%). The mean age of the patients was 30.1±5.1years. About 75% of the patients were para 1-4. Seventeen (70.8%) patients were unbooked while fourteen (58.3%) had unscarred uterine rupture. Eight out of 14(57.1%) patients with unscarred uterus had uterotonics for induction or augmentation of labour. Fourteen (58.3%) patients had rupture involving anterior lower uterine segment. Over half of the patients had uterine repair only (58.3%), 29.2% had uterine repair with bilateral tubal ligation while 12.5% had subtotal hysterectomy. Twenty-two (91.7%) required blood transfusion, five patients had 5 or more units of blood transfused. The perinatal mortality was 69.6%, there was no maternal death.Conclusions: the major predisposing factors to uterine rupture in our facility were lack of antenatal care, presence of previous caesarean section scar and injudicious use of uterotonics.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RICE RESIDUE BURNING AND INCREASING AIR POLLUTION IN NORTH-WEST INDIA

Abstract. Punjab and Haryana are two major Rice-producing states of India. They generate high amount of rice residue every year and these residues are burnt in the months of October and November to clear the fields for the next sowing, i.e. Wheat. Residue burning in these two states is considered to be a major factor for the pollution conditions persisting in Delhi, the capital of the country, during October and November. In this study, we aim to analyse the role of stubble burning on Pollution. The approach aimed at a) Determination of rice straw contingent to open burning in the states of Punjab and Haryana, b) Determine and quantify the air pollutant emissions from rice residue contingent to open burning and c) Compare them with the air pollution of Delhi. Also, in order to analyse the various reasons for the increasing pollution in Delhi, Aerosol Parameters like Aerosol Optical Depth, Angstrom Exponent and Single Scattering Albedo were also studied along with auxiliary data like Temperature, Wind Directions, Wind Trajectories, MODIS Fire Counts and CPCB Pollution Data. In this study, we found that not only residue burnings of Punjab and Haryana, but also dust storms from far beyond these states influence the pollution levels in Delhi, especially in the case of Particulate Matter less than 10.
Studies on the Antihyperlipidemic Activity of Flavonoidal Fraction of Lagenaria Siceraria

Lagenaria siceraria (Cucurbitaceae), commonly known as Lauki (Hindi); Doodhi (Marathi); was used traditionally for cardiovascular diseases. The flavonoidal fraction of Lagenaria siceraria (FFLS) was studied for its effect on the triton induced hyperlipidemia in male albino rats. Oral administration of FFLS (10-40 mg/kg) significantly decreased the triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). It also significantly increased the high density lipoproteins (HDL). The results obtained indicates the ability of flavonoidal fraction of Lagenaria siceraria to decrease the hyperlipidemia and thereby, decreasing the incidences of cardiovascular complications.

Grassland Bird Productivity in Warm Season Grass Fields in Southwest Wisconsin

Abstract Surrogate grasslands established through federal set-aside programs, such as U.S. Department of Agriculture's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), provide important habitat for grassland birds. Warm season grass CRP fields as a group have the potential for providing a continuum of habitat structure for breeding birds, depending on how the fields are managed and their floristic composition. We studied the nesting activity of four obligate grassland bird species, Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus), Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna), Grasshopper Sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), and Henslow's Sparrow (A. henslowii), in relation to vegetative composition and fire management in warm season CRP fields in southwest Wisconsin during 2009–2011. Intraspecific variation in apparent nest density was related to the number of years since the field was burned. Apparent Grasshopper Sparrow nest density was highest in the breeding season immediately following spring burns, apparent Henslow's Sparrow nest density was highest 1 y post burn, and apparent Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark nest densities were higher in post fire years one to three. Grasshopper Sparrow nest density was highest on sites with more diverse vegetation, specifically prairie forbs, and on sites with shorter less dense vegetation. Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark, and Henslow's Sparrow apparent nest densities were higher on sites with deeper litter; litter was the vegetative component that was most affected by spring burns. Overall nest success was 0.487 for Bobolink (22 d nesting period), 0.478 for Eastern Meadowlark (25 d nesting period), 0.507 for Grasshopper Sparrow (22 d nesting period), and 0.151 for Henslow's Sparrow (21 d nesting period). The major nest predators were grassland-associated species: thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Ictidomys tridecemlineatus), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), milk snake (Lampropeltis triangulum), American badger (Taxidea taxus), and western fox snake (Elaphe vulpina). Overall depredation rate was not affected by the number of years since the site had been burned. The diversity of vegetation on warm season CRP fields created by management using fire provides a continuum of structure for obligate grassland birds to use for breeding and habitat for a diversity of nest predators.
SIX MONTH FOLLOW UP OF ST SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION WITH TOTAL OCCLUSION OF INFARCT RELATED ARTERY WITH OPTIMUM MEDICAL THERAPY

Background: Delayed PCI of a totally occluded infarct artery 24 hours after STEMI should not be undertaken in clinically stable patients without evidence of severe ischemia. Some study shows that PCI in occluded artery after MI in stable patients did not reduce the occurrence of death, reinfarction, or heart failure. In addition, there was a excess reinfarction in the PCI arm Methods: Study conducted in a tertiary hospital in eastern india, patient who are admitted in cardiology ward, who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were put on optimal medical therapy at their maximum tolerable doses unless contraindicated.Patients and follow up for 6 month with clinical and echocardiography measurements. Data will be analyzed by standard statistical method by applying SPSS-19 software. Result: Total 105 patients were enrolled. During visit at 6 months 46 % patients were asymptomatic and rest presented with Shortness of breath . Among this 46% of patients 20% had NYHA class II and 34 % had class III symptoms. 46% had mild , 11% had moderate RWMA and 43% had severe RWMA. 27% had no MR, 41 had grade 1 and rest 32%had grade 2 MR . During the period of 6 months follow up readmission due to cardiovascular reason in 2nd visit was in 9 patients (9%) and non fatal MI occurs in 4 patients (4%). Conclusions: Early and timely revascularization is benecial for the patient till myocardium is viable. But delayed revascularization is of questionable benet.In spite of optimum medical therapy patients with total occlusion of IRA and non viable myocardium developed progressive remodeling. Shortness of breath was predominant symptoms in follow up
Algal Omics: The Functional Annotation Challenge

Background: To fully exploit the potential of microalgae as commercial green hosts, the scientific community has to improve their understanding of these organisms from a systems biology perspective. Compared to other model organisms, our genomic knowledge of the microalgae model species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is very limited. Currently, almost 90% of the functional annotated proteins of C. reinhardtii and of other microalgal proteins are homologs of Arabidopsis thaliana proteins, which suggests that for the most part only the metabolic core conserved between these species is properly annotated. Objective: This review highlights how proteins outside of this core can be annotated by applying publically available tools and methods. These include the use of novel state-of-the-art prediction tools, combinations of these tools, and the use of metabolic modeling-assisted functional annotation. Furthermore, we discuss the need for data on the subcellular location of microalgal proteins. Finally, some remaining bottlenecks regarding functional annotation of microalgal proteins are discussed. Conclusion: We conclude that both large dry-lab and wet-lab efforts are required to generate reliable functional annotations of microalgae
The Influence of Specimen Geometry and Strain Rate on the Portevin-Le Chatelier Effect and Fracture in an Austenitic FeMnC TWIP Steel

We studied the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect and fracture behavior of a FeMnC TWIP steel using high speed digital image correlation by varying the specimen geometry (flat vs. round) and test strain rate (0.001 vs. 0.1 s−1). The results show that the mean flow stress, the mean strain hardening rate and the mean strain rate sensitivity parameters are all independent of the specimen geometry and are uncorrelated with the presence or not of Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) bands, the type of PLC bands observed or the critical strain for band formation. However, both the fracture strains and stresses and the PLC behavior are highly geometry and/or strain rate dependent. Dynamic strain aging (DSA) and in particular the presence of PLC instabilities appears to play an important but as yet unclear role in promoting premature necking and final fracture.
