The results showed that reminiscence therapy influenced the anxiety level with a significant level of p=0.000. This reminiscence therapy could reduce the anxiety level of the elderly. This therapy was recommended as one of the options that can be used modality therapy in the elderly who experience anxiety
Design of IMC-PID controller with fractional-order filter for steam distillation essential oil extraction process

Essential oils are one of the industry's major compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical, perfume and food sectors. They were acquired using several methods such as steam distillation. In this method, heat from the steam will release the aromatic molecule at their specific boiling points. Thus, it is important to regulate the steam temperature at the correct level to get the perfect composition of the yield. Many studies have shown that essential oil is volatile and sensitive to excess heat. In order to maintain the desired steam temperature, this study proposed an internal model control (IMC) based PID with fractional-order filter as a controller for this system. IMC is a model-based control structure that can handle parameter variations and load disturbance very well. With the inverse model imposed in the loop, IMC can gain a perfect tracking control as well. The implementation of a fractional-order filter cascaded to the PID controller may enhance the system robustness to process gain with its iso-damping properties. This study was conducted by simulation using MATLAB R2018. The step response of the closed-loop system has been evaluated with varying filter parameters depending on the desired phase margin of the open-loop reference model.
ANTIDIABETIC AND HEPATOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITIES OF BOMBAX CEIBA EXTRACT IN OBESE RATS WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME

Increased global obesity prevalence is a serious issue as it causes several other chronic metabolic disorders, including diabetes mellitus, one of the major global pandemics a few days ago. Obesity increases the propensity by several folds to develop insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our aim was to investigate the hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective activities of Bombax Ceiba extract on the biochemical and histological evaluation in obese rats fed High-carbohydrate high-fat diets (HCHFD) to prevent of metabolic diseases that cause obesity. Sixty male rats were divided randomly (12 rats/ group) into 5 experimental groups. First (control) group: 12 rats were fed with standard diet. 2 group (Bombax) rats were fed on standard diet and Bombax ceiba extract (400 mg/kg body weight) was administrated daily orally. The third group (HCHFD), rats were fed on HCHF diet whereas rats in the fourth group Bombax + HCHFD (Prophylactic) rats fed on standard diet and take Bombax ceiba extract (400 mg/kg body weight orally daily for 8 weeks then fed on HCHF diet and take Bombax ceiba extract to the end of experiment. Fifth group HCHF + Bombax (Treatment) rats were also fed on HCHF diet then take Bombax ceiba extract (400 mg/kg body weight daily). The experiment period was 20 weeks. Blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, lipid profile, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), adropin,interleukin-6 (IL-6), retinol binding protein-4 (RBP-4), salusin-α and salusin-β were measured. Also histopathology for aorta tissue was done. Our findings have shown significant increases in glucose, HOMA-IR, cholesterol, triglycerides, AST, ALT, IL-6, RBP-4 and salusin-β levels with significant decrease in insulin, high density lipoprotein (HDL), adropin and salusinα, in HCHFD group in comparison with the control group,these findings improved in prophylactic and treated groups after treatment with Bombax ceiba extractin compare to HCHFD group. Our study concluded that Bombax ceiba extract has potential hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective activities on the prevention of metabolic diseases resulting in rats fed HCHF diet and the histological evaluation confirm our biochemical results.

Magnetoliposomes as carriers for promising antitumor thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-7-arylamines: photophysical and biological studies

Magnetoliposomes containing superparamagnetic manganese ferrite nanoparticles were tested as nanocarriers for two new promising antitumor drugs, a N-(3-methoxyphenyl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-7-amine (1) and a N-(2-methoxy-phenyl)thieno[3,2-b]pyridin-7-amine (2). The fluorescence emission of both compounds was studied in different polar and non-polar media, evidencing a strong intramolecular charge transfer character of the excited state of both compounds. These in vitro potent antitumor thienopyridine derivatives were successfully incorporated in both aqueous and solid magnetoliposomes, with encapsulation efficiencies higher than 75%. The magnetic properties of magnetoliposomes containing manganese ferrite nanoparticles were measured for the first time, proving a superparamagnetic behaviour. Growth inhibition assays on several human tumor cell lines showed very low GI50 values for drug-loaded aqueous magnetoliposomes, comparing in most cell lines with the ones previously obtained using the neat compounds. These results are important for future drug delivery applications using magnetoliposomes in oncology, through a dual therapeutic approach (simultaneous chemotherapy and magnetic hyperthermia).

Evaluating the Impact of Software Security Tactics: A Design Perspective

Design architecture is the edifice that strengthens the functionalities as well as the security of web applications. In order to facilitate architectural security from the web application’s design phase itself, practitioners are now adopting the novel mechanism of security tactics. With the intent to conduct a research from the perspective of security tactics, the present study employs a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making approach named fuzzy analytic hierarchy process-technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (AHP-TOPSIS) method for selecting and assessing multi-criteria decisions. The adopted methodology is a blend of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (fuzzy TOPSIS). To establish the efficacy of this methodology, the results are obtained after the evaluation have been tested on fifteen different web application projects (Online Quiz competition, Entrance Test, and others) of the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, India. The tabulated outcomes demonstrate that the methodology of the Multi-Level Fuzzy Hybrid system is highly effective in providing accurate estimation for strengthening the security of web applications. The proposed study will help experts and developers in developing and managing security from any web application design phase for better accuracy and higher security.
Influence of smart education on characteristics of urban lands’ transport systems

Intelligent well-educated Smart People are the key element of Smart City development. Different technologies are implemented to develop the residents’ intellectual added value, including Smart Education. The introduction of progressive teaching methods can have a synergistic effect, increasing the quality of processes in other systems of Smart Cities. Since the second most common type of correspondence is the trip to education, the hypothesis of a possibility to decrease transport loads on the city roads caused by the widespread introduction of progressive methods of ELearning and Blended Learning was suggested. The proposed hypothesis was tested and confirmed by the results of simulation.
Chemical Characteristics of PM2.5 during 2015 Spring Festival in Beijing, China

Air pollution especially of PM_(2.5) pollution is a serious problem in Beijing. In order to quantify the effect of a festival in which pollution was expected to be reduced, we collected and analyzed PM_(2.5) samples in urban Beijing during the 2015 Spring Festival (from February 9^(th) to March 6^(th) 2015). We divided the sampling period into three phases: non-haze, haze and firework days. The average concentration of PM_(2.5) was highest on firework days at 248.9 μg m^(-3), followed by haze days (199.9 μg m^(-3)) and non-haze days (90.8 μg m^(-3)). The air quality of non-haze days during the holiday was better than that during non-holiday periods. Secondary inorganic ions (SO_4^(2-), NO_3^- and NH_4^+) were enriched on the haze days, while those on firework days contained large amounts of Cl^- and K^+, but small amounts of NO_3^- and NH_4^+. Ratios of NO_3^-/SO_4^(2-), SO_4^(2-)/K^+ and Cl^-/K^+ effectively distinguished the characteristics of PM_(2.5) between firework events and haze days. Ion balance calculations indicated that the acidity of PM_(2.5) from firework days was higher than that from haze and non-haze days. A method using enrichment factors (EF) found that crustal elements (EF ＜ 10 on all three types of days) included Ca, Al, Fe, Na, Co, Ni, P, Ti, and V; firework elements (EF ＞ 10 on firework days, significantly higher than haze days) were made up of Ba, Cr, Cu, Mg, Pb, S, Si, and Zn; common anthropogenic pollution elements (EF ＞ 10 in all three types of days) were As, Cd, Cu, Pb, S, Sb, Zn. Differences in chemical characteristics indicated that holidays such as the Spring Festival can affect air pollution patterns in two ways: a decrease in the population and vehicles but an increase in activities such as firework displays.
Guanine Crystallization in Aqueous Solutions Enables Control over Crystal Size and Polymorphism

Anhydrous guanine crystals are among the most widespread organic crystals used by organisms to produce structural colors. The main advantage of guanine is its exceptionally high refractive index in the reflecting direction (∼1.8). For the same reason, guanine is a promising candidate material for a variety of different optical applications. Crystallization of guanine is challenging and usually involves using polar aprotic organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Here, we show that the crystallization of guanine from aqueous solutions is possible under conditions that provide control over crystal polymorphism and size. Using this approach we were able produce large crystals of the elusive guanine monohydrate phase. We were also able to rationalize the formation of the different phases obtained as a function of which tautomer of guanine is stable in solutions of varying pH.
Fault Diagnosis of Rolling Bearing based on Permutation Entropy Optimized Maximum Correlation Kurtosis Deconvolution

An improved MCKD algorithm was proposed as an adaptive parameter selection approach. In this method, the optimal filter length of the MCKD algorithm was determined by the maximum permutation entropy value and the optimal fault period of the MCKD algorithm was determined by the maximum kurtosis value. The determined optimal filter length and optimal fault period were verified by simulation signals of the bearing as well as fault experimental signals of the inner and outer rings. Results demonstrate that in early fault diagnosis, the improved MCKD algorithm based on permutation entropy can extract faint characteristic information of early fault of rolling bearing effectively. It can highlight fault pulse signals which are covered by noises and get more ideal results than the minimum entropy deconvolution algorithm.

High rates of herbivory in remote northwest Australian seagrass meadows by rabbitfish and green turtles

Herbivory is a key ecological process that often determines the composition and abundance of plants. Estimates of herbivory in seagrass meadows are typically lower than those in other vegetated coastal ecosystems, but herbivory can be intense when large herbivorous vertebrates are abundant. We surveyed rates of herbivory on 2 species of tropical seagrasses (Thalassia hemprichii and Enhalus acoroides), the abundance of herbivorous vertebrates, and the diet of 2 abundant herbivorous vertebrates (the green turtle Chelonia mydas and the rabbitfish Siganus lineatus) in lagoons adjacent to remote islands off northwestern Australia. Rates of herbivory in some deployments of tethered seagrass were more than 1000 times higher than rates of production and were among the highest recorded. Consumption exceeded production in half the deployments (9 of 18). Remote underwater video revealed that S. lineatus was the most abundant herbivore. Stomachs of S. lineatus contained mostly seagrass, and models based on stable isotopes indicated that seagrass was the primary source of nutrition. Stomach contents of C. mydas were more variable, containing seagrass and macroalgae (although the sample size was low), but models based on stable isotopes indicated that seagrass was likely the primary source of nutrition. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the high rates of herbivory on the seagrasses T. hemprichii and E. acoroides are mainly due to direct consumption by the abundant S. lineatus, and perhaps also C. mydas. Seagrass is the primary contributor to the nutrition of both species.

The Municipal Solid Waste Management System with Anaerobic Digestion

This study investigated the applied methods for the collection and treatment of an organic fraction of municipal solid waste with anaerobic digestion (AD), including the effects of selective waste collection system introduction. As the research area, data from a waste treatment plant, which collects waste from about 260,000 inhabitants, was used as the selected waste management plan. Biowaste stream management was emphasized. Thus, research on energy recovery and the characteristics of digestate (nutrient and heavy metals content) obtained from biowaste AD was performed. The results of the studies and their quantitative data were interpreted. A significant discrepancy between the assumptions and the actual situation was revealed (up to 20% year-on-year regarding biowaste). An underestimation of the amount of waste when planning was noted. AD ensures energy recovery from biowaste, which can cover facility electricity needs and material recovery. The digestate might find agricultural usage and become an ecological product. The content of nitrogen (1.5%dry matter), phosphorus (0.55%dry matter), potassium (1.0%dry matter), and organic carbon (16.0%dry matter) indicate a positive impact on crops. Furthermore, it can improve the economic balance, by replacing costs with sales revenues.
Enhancement of Propane Flame Stability by Dielectric Barrier Discharges

Abstract Non-thermal plasmas have recently found novel applications in improving fuel combustion. Typical electron temperatures in such plasmas are of order a few electron volts. Such electrons are sufficient to break down fuel molecules and to produce free radicals which may significantly affect combustion efficiency. In this work, we use a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) to activate propane (C3H8) fuel before it is mixed with air and ignited. The use of activated propane enables us to operate combustion in very lean-burn conditions; for 0.2 lpm propane, air flow was 38 lpm, compared with an air flow of 26 lpm in the absence of a plasma. A residual gas analyzer (RGA) measures the decomposition products of the propane discharge, indicating that atomic and molecular hydrogen are produced in the plasma and that their concentrations depend on the DBD energy density. Based on the observations discussed in this work, we have shown that by activating propane, the DBD increases combustion stability.
Range Expansion for Wireless Power Transfer Using Joint Beamforming and Waveform Architecture: An Experimental Study in Indoor Environment

Far-field Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has emerged as a potential power source for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The expansion of the power transfer range is one of the key challenges to make the technology viable. In this letter, we experimentally study a channel-adaptive joint beamforming and waveform architecture to expand the power transfer range. WPT experiments have been conducted in a variety of wireless channels at various distances in a realistic indoor environment. The measurement data have been fitted using a simple analytical model to analyze the output DC power and achievable range improvement depending on the signal design schemes and the number of tones and antennas. The model shows a clear relationship between signal design versus output DC power and achievable range, and highlight the significant benefit of the proposed architecture to expand the power transfer range.
Message-Passing-Driven Triplet Representation for Geo-Object Relational Inference in HRSI

A high-resolution remote sensing image (HRSI) scene typically contains multiple geo-objects, and geospatial relations among these geo-objects are obvious. As the important information conveyed by HRSI, the intelligent expression of geospatial relation is helpful in understanding HRSI scenes. Previous HRSI semantic understanding was mainly based on image captions that only generate one sentence to describe image content, thereby resulting in insufficient understanding of the scene. Thus, the present letter proposes an approach to represent geospatial relations in an HRSI scene with structured form of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\langle $ </tex-math></inline-formula>subject, geospatial relation, object<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\rangle $ </tex-math></inline-formula>. A geospatial relation triplet representation data set that contains visual and semantic information, such as category, location, and geospatial relations of the geo-objects, is constructed first. An “object-relation” message-passing mechanism is adopted to enhance the information exchange between the geo-objects and geospatial relations to predict triplets accurately. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively predict the geospatial relation in a HRSI scene.
Study on synthesis of spinel LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode material and its electrochemical properties by two‐stage roasting

LiNi0.5Mn1. 5O4 (LNMO) cathode material is burnt in two‐stage roasting process for lithium battery. Carried out X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanner transmission electron microscope (SEM), laser grain fineness distribution and precise measurement of photoelectric catalysis, and qualitatively analyzed the LNMO cathode material. The SEM image shows that the LNMO battery cathode material is combined with μm‐level particles (10 μm in diameter). The XRD pattern shows that the structure of the prepared LNMO cathode material belongs to the Fd3m space group. After being burned at 650°C for 8 hours and refrigerated milling, it is burned again at 1000°C for 8 hours. At this time, the LNMO cathode material prepared by quenching has the best photocatalytic properties. In the range of 3.5 to 5.1 V, the original charge‐discharge volume of the prepared battery cathode material is shown as 130.3 mAh g−1 at a speed of 1.0 C. After 100 cycles, the sample saves 96.7% (1.0 C) of the original volume. At 1025°C, at different speeds in the discontinuance voltage range of 3.5 to 5.1 V, the charge and discharge quantity of the negative electrode raw materials obtained by individuals can be maintained at about 133.6 (0.2 C), 129.9 (1.0 C), 129 (2.0 C), respectively.
