Design and Implementation of Stable Gait for Bipedal Robot

This paper presents an optimized method of gait planning for a small biped humanoid robot which developed independently. The method is based on the research of the gait generation patterns for biped robot and analyses the gait generation method which based on three dimensional linear inverted pendulum and the relationship between the COG height, initial velocity, step length and the walk cycle. We carry on the design of bipedal robot gait and realize the stable walking of robot. The simulation and experimental results have confirmed the feasibility of this method.
RING SHAPED SEISMICITY WITHIN VARIOUS DEPTH RANGES IN THE REGION OF KURIL AND KAMCHATKA

We have analyzed characteristics of the seismicity in the region of the central and northern Kuril Islands and Kamchatka within depth ranges of 0 33 and 34 70 km prior to large and great earthquakes that have occurred in 1993 2007 and within seismic gaps. We have identified ring shaped distributions of seismicity in both depth ranges. It was shown, that epicenters of the major earthquakes were located near areas of intersection or the closest proximity of the ring structures. By analogy with the Sumatra region, and using data on the sizes of such rings, we have obtained prognostic estimates of magnitudes of large earthquakes, which can occur in seismic gap zones. We have identified seismic gaps, where large earthquakes are most probable in the near future. We also compare these data with long term forecasts of other authors.
A Cognition-Based Model of Text Meaning Distributional Models of Meaning : Hilary Term 2019

We present a mathematical framework to model the meaning of a text, which is based on both Coecke’s DisCoCirc model and Gärdenfors’ theory of conceptual spaces. This combination lets us deal with some previously intractable elements, most notably allowing us to resolve the meaning of pronouns. We also give an outlook on possible tasks for further research.
Role of transanal decompression tubes in preventing anastomotic leakage after anterior resections for rectal cancer : a meta-analysis

Postoperative AL in rectal cancer surgery is a serious complication and a heavy burden for patients. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the value of transanal decompression tubes (TDT) in preventing anastomotic leakage in patients with rectal cancer after anterior resections. Published studies comparing TDT with non-TDT after rectal cancer resections, from 2002 to 2017, were searched without language preferences. Extracted data, including anastomotic leakage, re-operation, anastomotic bleeding, and length of hospital stays, were compared by meta-analysis. Fourteen studies, involving 3,332, patients were included. Compared with the non-TDT group, anastomotic leakage and re-operations in the TDT group were significantly reduced (RR 0.586; 95% CI 0.43 to 0.79; P < 0.0001; RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.52, P < 0.0001). No significant differences in anastomotic bleeding and length of hospital stays were observed between the two groups (RR 1.55, 95% CI 0.89 to 2.68, P = 0.21; MD -0.93, 95% CI -3.34 to -1.48, P = 0.45). TDT placement is a simple, noninvasive, and economic alternative approach in the prevention of anastomotic leakage after anterior resections in patients with rectal cancer.
Implementation of lightweight cryptographic primitives

Lightweight cryptography is not a new branch in cryptography. It is a subject specifically addressing the implementation of security mechanism in pervasive computing that are characterized by smart but resource constrained devices. There are at least two main lightweight symmetric cryptographic primitives namely lightweight block cipher and lightweight hash algorithm. Most of the previous surveys were focusing on implementation of specific cryptographic primitives. In this paper we present a comprehensive survey of all lightweight symmetric cryptographic primitives, from hardware and software perspectives. The survey covers analysis of these algorithms and a comparison between these primitives in terms of throughput, number of cycle, comprehensive area, power, and energy. We also provide a classification of the structure of lightweight block cipher and lightweight hash function. These classifications are very useful because the primitives have different and sometimes contrary characteristics. Finally this comprehensive survey highlights some of the issues related to security aspect of small key length in lightweight cryptographic primitives.
Split and merge based path planning for agricultural machines

If the field plot shape is not rectangular and if it contains obstacles, the coverage path planning problem is hard to solve for a non-omnidirectional machine. Scientists have developed several algorithms to solve this coverage path planning problem, but all of them have pros and cons. If the machines were omnidirectional and turning times were decreased to insignificant, the problem would be quite easy to solve using known robotic path planning methods. Traditional agricultural machines, like tractors, tractor-trailer combinations, self-propelled harvesters and other mandriven machines are slow to turn at headlands. This is the most differentiating property of the problem formulation compared to traditional robotic coverage path planning, which has dealt mainly with omnidirectional kinematics. In this paper a higher level algorithm to split a complex shaped field plot to smaller parts is presented. The higher level splitting algorithm is presented in detail in this paper. The algorithm can handle any field, including obstacles. The algorithm is based on trapezoidal split, merge and search. The algorithm is suited to any kind of vehicle, which is described with a few parameters, like working width and turning time function. In the latest version, the required headlands are generated automatically and there is also a possibility to define regional restrictions as forbidden driving directions. With this formulation it is possible to take into consideration the previous operations, underdrains and steep gradients.
Preparation and Characterization of Periodontal Chips from Egg Shell Membrane

The present study was performed to prepare periodontal chips from egg shell membrane (ESM) and evaluates its physical, biodegradation and absorption properties. ESM was extracted using acetic acid (1%). The membranes were cut into chips of 6×6 mm2. Thickness and morphology of the chips were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chips were tested for biodegradability towards trypsin. Absorption test was done on artificial saliva AS and sterilized distilled water SDW. Ninety ESM chips were weighed and immersed in 90 Eppendorf tubes contained 0.5 (ml) of trypsin, artificial saliva and distilled water (30 for each),for 21 days. Chips were weighed and scanned by (SEM) on day7,14 and 21 to evaluate the biodegradation and absorption process. A profilometer was also used to evaluate the surface roughness of the ESM chips. The data were statistically analysed with a one-way ANOVA, Student’s t-test, regression analysis and Chi-square test. The mean weight values have been significantly decreased over time within the group of trypsin (baseline: 1.6 ± 0.452, day 21: 0.683 ± 0.16). While the weights have been significantly increased over the time within the groups of AS (baseline: 1.503 ± 0.371, day 21: 3.453 ± 0.657) and SDW (baseline: 1.77 ± 0.304, day 21: 3.14 ± 0.686). Statistical analyses showed a significant difference in thickness values of ESM during the biodegradation test (baseline: 55.3000 ± 8.35165, day 21: 7.7429 ± 5.08064). There were no significant different in the mean thickness values of the ESM chips during the absorption test by AS and SDW. The SEM revealed that the thickness was begun to reduce during biodegradation test on day 14 until day 21. ESM chips were found to be biodegradable, exhibiting characteristic within the periodontal chips standard features. Experimental article (J Int Dent Med Res 2019; 12(2): 434-442)
Nanočestice cementa u Svemiru

Uporabom suvremenih teleskopa, koji opažaju u različitim područjima elektromagnetskog spektra, prikuplja se vrlo velika količina informacija o Svemiru. Tako dolazimo do podataka koji do sad nisu bili dostupni. Jedna od novijih znanstvenih tema je istraživanje astrofizičkih materijala. Astrofizičke molekule i kozmička prašina su već opisani u Matematičko-fizičkom listu [1]. Sastav i osobine kozmičke prašine su u ovom trenutku poznati samo približno. Istraživanja pokazuju da se kozmička prašina sastoji od silikata i materijala koji sadrže ugljik [1]. Silikati su materijali koji sadrže negativno naelektrizirane Si-O grupe. U sastav kozmičkih silikata ulaze i atomi nekih metala, od kojih su najzastupljeniji Mg i Fe, a zatim Al i Ca. Nedavno je objavljen znanstveni članak u kome se predlažu nanočestice cementa kao dio kozmičke prašine [2]. To istraživanje je u potpunosti izvedeno u Zagrebu, i to u suradnji kolega sa Fizičkog odsjeka, PMF i Instituta Ruder Bošković. Članak je privukao pažnju i prije zvaničnog objavljivanja u časopisu. Tako je već objavljen osvrt u britanskom časopisu New Scientist [3]. Cement je medu materijalima koji se najvǐse koriste na Zemlji. To je prah koji se miješa s vodom i tako nastaje cementna pasta koja se koristi u proizvodnji betona. Najvažnije komponente cementne paste su silikati kalcija. U radu [2] su istraživane nanočestice cementa. Slika 1 prikazuje amorfnu nanočesticu. O razlici izmedju amorfnih i kristalnih materijala, te o mjerenjima i računu infracrvenih spektara može se čitati u članku [1]. Kristalne i amorfne nanočestice cementa istražene su u članku [2] primjenom metode koja se zove teorija funkcionala gustoće. Izračunat je infracrveni spektar i usporeden s odgovarajućim opažanjima teleskopa. Rezultati pokazuju da amorfne nanočestice cementa imaju vrpcu na 14 mikrona. To odgovara spektralnoj vrpci nekih zvijezda. Spektri tih zvijezda su rezultat rada Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) i Spitzer teleskopa [2]. Do sad nije bilo poznato koji materijal je odgovoran za formiranje vrpce na 14 mikrona u infracrvenom
INTEREST AND LIMITS OF ADDING EXOGENOUS HARD FECES IN THE NEST BOX ON THE RABBIT PERFORMANCES AND HEALTH BEFORE AND AFTER WEANING

The natural behavior of coprophagy expressed by the young rabbits can be amplified by the addition of exogenous hard feces in the nest box. The objectives of our study were 1) to describe the feasibility of this practice under commercial conditions, and 2) to study the interests and limits of this practice on rabbit zootechnical performances and health until slaughter. The experiment was conducted on 363 litters, in a professional unit that stop to use antibiotics for more than 10 years, during 5 consecutive batches. Offsprings were controlled from birth to 70 days of age. In the experimental group F (feces added, n = 183 litters), exogenous hard feces (5 pellets from young females of the farm per day and nest) were manually added to the nest between days 2 and 18 of lactation. In the control group C (control, n = 180 litters) no hard feces were added to the nest box. Globally the addition of exogenous hard feces in nests did not improve the mortality of the rabbits during the lactation or after weaning but increases the growth and the slaughtering yield. However the results seem to largely depend on the feces that was added. The difference between the results obtained under professional breeding and previously experimental conditions, demonstrates that additional studies regarding the origin of feces, the beginning of the treatment and the period of the day in which the exogenous feces are added in the nest, are necessary to validate this practice in professional conditions.
Overview of Non Tuberculosis Mycobacterial Lung Diseases

Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous in nature and opportunistically infect different animals, including humans. Currently, NTM is emerging as an important cause of pulmonary infection among both immunocompromised and immunocompetent persons worldwide. The clinical relevance of pulmonary NTM varies among species while showing geographical heterogeneity in distribution as well as pathogenicity. The outcome of the respiratory NTM disease is a consequence of a complex interplay between microbial factors and host susceptibility. Furthermore, HIV infection, cystic fibrosis, cancer, underlying chronic lung disease and history of tuberculosis (TB) may be associated as risk factors for active nontuberculosis pulmonary diseases (NTMPD). The diagnosis of NTMPD requires the presence of symptoms, radiographic evidences, microscopic observations and definitive laboratory diagnostics. Lung infections resulted from a clinically significant NTM species should be treated with appropriate antimicrobial regimen.

Potential mechanism of nitidine chloride in treating lipopolysaccharide-induced primary mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells by connectivity map and bioinformatics-based methods

Background and objectives: Nitidine chloride, a natural bioactive phytochemical alkaloid derived from Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb) DC, has been an ingredient included in toothpaste in China for years. However, the detailed molecular targets and primary mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory capacity of nitidine chloride have not yet been well defined. Thus, the objective of the current study was to explore the molecules and novel potential mechanisms that modulate inflammation using modeled by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs). Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were calculated from microarrays providing gene profiles of BMDCs preand post-nitidine chloride treatment. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, gene ontology (GO) enrichment analyses and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses were carried out using the DAVID and STRING online databases to display the annotations for the DEGs. A connectivity map was used to further investigate similar known compounds and the potential therapeutic effects of nitidine chloride on BMDCs. Results: A total of 607 DEGs were identified from the microarray GSE102135, wherein nitidine chloride was used to treat the primary mouse LPS-stimulated BMDC cells from female wild-type C57BL/6 mice for 12 h. Post-nitidine chloride treatment on the LPS-stimulated BMDCs, the DEGs were enriched in several well-known pathways as determined from KEGG analysis. For instance, DEGs were enriched in the protein digestion and absorption and cGMP-PKG signaling pathways, which have been established to play essential parts in the inflammatory process. More importantly, phenoxybenzamine, thioguanosine, resveratrol, 8-azaguanine and irinotecan, etc., had high similarities with nitidine chloride, also exhibiting anti-inflammation properties as previously reported. Conclusions: Different key genes have been implicated in the nitidine chloride-mediated anti-inflammatory function via targeting of several key inflammatory pathways. The anti-inflammation properties of nitidine chloride were found to be mirrored by some known drugs, which helps to define the underlying mechanism of nitidine chloride treatment.
Joint on-manifold self-calibration of odometry model and sensor extrinsics using pre-integration

This paper describes a self-calibration procedure that jointly estimates the extrinsic parameters of an exteroceptive sensor able to observe ego-motion, and the intrinsic parameters of an odometry motion model, consisting of wheel radii and wheel separation. We use iterative nonlinear on-manifold optimization with a graphical representation of the state, and resort to an adaptation of the pre-integration theory, initially developed for the IMU motion sensor, to be applied to the differential drive motion model. For this, we describe the construction of a pre-integrated factor for the differential drive motion model, which includes the motion increment, its covariance, and a first-order approximation of its dependence with the calibration parameters. As the calibration parameters change at each solver iteration, this allows a posteriori factor correction without the need of re-integrating the motion data. We validate our proposal in simulations and on a real robot and show the convergence of the calibration towards the true values of the parameters. It is then tested online in simulation and is shown to accommodate to variations in the calibration parameters when the vehicle is subject to physical changes such as loading and unloading a freight.
A Review of MicroRNA Associated with Oral Cancer

Cancer of oral cavity is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide with over 500,000 new cases diagnosed annually and its incidence is rising in many countries. It is associated with a poor prognosis with less than 50% of 5-year survival rate. Oral cancer incidence in Malaysia varies between the different ethnic communities due to different sociocultural risk factors such as the betel chewing habit which it is a traditional stimulant mixture of areca nut and tobacco with the betel leaf. Moreover, despite recent advances in various treatment modalities, the survival rates of cancer patients had shown not markedly improved. MicroRNAs or miRNAs are a group of small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Recent findings have strongly supported its role in cell regulations of essential processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, development, differentiation and metabolism. However, dysregulation of miRNAs expressions have been implicated in malignancy which affects its functions as tumor suppressors and oncogenes in various cancers. Thus, this review of microRNA expression would provide information on microRNAs with potential role as the biomarkers in oral cancer treatment in the future.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OF PERSONALIZED CHOICE OF PROFESSION IN SMART CITIES

The information technologies help solve the most difficult problems, qualitatively change the provided educational services and create conditions for comfortable living and development for each inhabitant in particular, and the city’s community as a whole. In the context of the implementation of these projects, the procedures for the selection and acquisition of a profession are important, taking into account the personal characteristics of applicants and the needs of the city’s community. The decision-making process for choosing a future specialty starts even while studying at school, and is actualized during the selection of external independent evaluation subjects. Another important step in this chain is the choice of an educational institution for further education and specialization. The paper proposes an information technology of personalized choice of profession in accordance with the needs of a person and the requirements of the labor market in a smart city, which is presented in the form of five consecutive functional stages: determination of professional inclinations and abilities; monitoring of the urban labor market; a choice of the future profession; a choice of educational institution; formation of an individual learning trajectory. The models and methods of information technology support of personalized choice of a profession are described, in particular: model of data analysis for determination of professional inclinations and abilities of a person on the basis of the results of vocational guidance tests have been developed, which made it possible to optimize the process of determining the professional peculiarities of a person; the methods of monitoring the labor market of the city; using the methodology of constructing data hypercube, the method of analysis of educational activity in educational institutions in the city acquires the further development. The main characteristics of the developed one-page information technology web application are presented which combines all stages of training specialists in a holistic system taking into account the needs of a person and the requirements of the labor market in a large city.
Development and primary genetic analysis of a fertility-temperature-sensitive polima CMS restorer in Brassica napus

Over the past decade, the polima cytoplasmic male sterility (pol CMS) ‘three -line’ and ‘twoline’ systems have been developed for hybrid seed production in Brassica napus oilseed rape in China. We describe here the discovery of the novel pol CMS restorer line ‘FL-204’. It restores male fertility of hybrid plants in the pol CMS system, but hybrid seed production can only be carried out under autumn sowing in Wuhan in south China under moderate temperatures at flowering. The restorer cannot be used as male for hybrid seed production in northwestern China (Gansu) under spring sowing conditions, where it is more or less male sterile due to high temperatures at flowering. Because of this behavior, it is referred to as fertility-temperature-sensitiverestorer(FTSR) in this paper. F2, BC1 as well as double haploid populations were constructed to determine the inheritance of fertility restoration of ‘FL-204’ under autumn at Wuhan and spring sowing condition at Gansu, respectively. Deviations from Mendelian genetics were observed. It was hypothesized that the change of fertility was the result of the interaction between nuclear genes (restoring gene (Rf) and temperature-sensitive genes (ts)) and the cytoplasm. The Rf gene in ‘FL-204’ was incapable of restoring male fertility of pol CMS lines under spring sowing conditions at Gansu where it is inactivated by the recessive ts gene present in ‘FL-204’. However, the ts gene(s) could be nonfunctional under moderate temperature conditions at flowering at Wuhan which allows full expression of male fertility in ‘FL-204’. The relationship between ts gene(s) and Rf can only be exhibited in plants containing the pol sterile cytoplasm. A method for the utilization of the FTSR pol CMS restorer ‘FL-204’ for hybrid seed production in B.napus oilseed rape is proposed.
