A New Protocol of Methamphetamine Dependence Treatment with Taper-Up-Off Treatment of Opium Tincture, a New Hope to Cure the Methamphetamine Addiction

Methamphetamine is a neurotoxic drug and highly addictive stimulant, which causes a significant psychological dependence in use disorder and potential brain damage even in the first use disorder. Despite decades of research, no approved pharmacotherapy is available for methamphetamine (METH) use disorder, and behavioral therapies are faced with a great lack of long-term recovery and a high rate of relapse. Opium tincture is air-dried Papaver somniferum latex, formulated for oral administration. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the new protocol for taper up-off method of opium tincture used for treatment of methamphetamine addiction in Iran, for more than 10 years. In the present study, the effectiveness of the Opium tincture taper-up-off treatment method for methamphetamine dependence called “Dezhakam step time (DST) for methamphetamine” was assessed. We used data collected via the “Congress 60” a nongovernmental organization in Iran, dedicated to addiction treatment with the DST method, from Jan 2018 until December 2020. We evaluated the treatment safety, success, and relapse rate in methamphetamine dependents treated in the “Congress 60” organization with the DST for methamphetamine method. All subjects were tested using Urine drug monitoring for both opioid and methamphetamine use after the treatment period and during the next two years as a follow-up. Findings revealed 89 percent of successful treatments for methamphetamine dependence and only 11 percent of substance abuse relapses in two years follow up. Also, less than one percent of the subjects that finished the treatment program abused opioids in two years follow up. Findings suggest the safety and effectiveness of the Opium tincture taper-up-off method in the treatment of methamphetamine dependence. The findings of the study may help to a better understanding of a safe potential novel method for methamphetamine dependence treatment and its effects on psychological dependence on psychostimulants.
Online State-of-Health Estimation for Fast-Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on a Transformer–Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network

With the rapid development of machine learning and cloud computing, deep learning methods based on big data have been widely applied in the assessment of lithium-ion battery health status. However, enhancing the accuracy and robustness of assessment models remains a challenge. This study introduces an innovative T-LSTM prediction network. Initially, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN) is employed to effectively extract local and global features from raw battery data, providing enriched inputs for subsequent networks. Subsequently, LSTM and transformer models are ingeniously combined to fully utilize their unique advantages in sequence modeling, further enhancing the accurate prediction of battery health status. Experiments were conducted using both proprietary and open-source datasets, and the results validated the accuracy and robustness of the proposed method. The experimental results on the proprietary dataset show that the T-LSTM-based estimation method exhibits excellent performance in various evaluation metrics, with MSE, RMSE, MAE, MAPE, and MAXE values of 0.43, 0.66, 0.53, 0.58, and 1.65, respectively. The performance improved by 30–50% compared to that of the other models. The method demonstrated superior performance in comparative experiments, offering novel insights for optimizing intelligent battery management and maintenance strategies.
On the problems of CF-connected graphs

The crossing number cr( G ) of a graph G is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of G in the plane, and the optimal drawing of G is any drawing at which the desired minimum number of crossings is achieved. We conjecture that a complete graph K n is CF -connected if and only if it does not contain a subgraph of K 8 , where a connected graph G is CF -connected if there is a path between every pair of vertices with no crossing on its edges for each optimal drawing of G . We establish the validity of this Conjecture for the complete graphs K n for any n ≤ 12 , and by assuming the Harary-Hill’s Conjecture that cr( K n ) = H ( n ) = 14 (cid:4) n 2 (cid:5)(cid:4) n − 1 2 (cid:5)(cid:4) n − 2 2 (cid:5)(cid:4) n − 3 2 (cid:5) is also valid for all n > 12 . The proofs of this paper are based on the idea of a new concept of a crossing sequence.
Evaluation of nutrient status and soil fertility and utilization of local weeds as organic fertilizer in agricultural land affected by liquefaction natural disaster

The study’s first phase results identified 17 species of weeds with 11 species of low index class and six species of medium index class. Based on nutrient content, there were four locations with low fertility status, SPL1, SPL5, SPL6 and SPL7. In addition, there were three locations, SPL2, SPL3, and SPL4, with moderate fertility levels. In the study’s second phase, the highest pH H2O (6.38) was obtained at a dose of 25 tons per ha of Bokashi weed and 225 kg per ha of SP-36. This treatment was significantly different from other treatments. The highest available phosphorus was detected at a dose of 25 tons per ha of Bokashi weed 225 kg per ha of SP-36, namely 28.87 ppm, which was significantly different from other treatments. Moreover, there was an increase phosphorus uptake in plant due to the application of Bokashi fertilizer and SP-36 fertilizer. P uptake increased at a dose of 25 tones of Bokashi fertilizer per ha (P3) and SP-36 fertilizer dose of 225 kg per ha (S3) with an average of 0.68 g per plant.
Assessment of risk factors for leakage after repair of perforated peptic ulcer with omental patch. Retrospective study

Introduction. Perforated peptic ulcer remains one of the critical abdominal conditions that requires early surgical intervention. Leakage after omental patch repair represents one of the devastating complications that increase morbidity and mortality. Our study aimed to assess risk factors and early predictors for incidence of leakage. Methods. Retrospective analysis of data of the patients who underwent omental patch repair for perforated peptic ulcer in the period between January 2019 and January 2022 in Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt. Pre, intra and postoperative variables were collected and statistically analyzed. Incriminated risk factors for leakage incidence were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis. Results. This study included 123 patients who met inclusion criteria. Leakage was detected in seven (5.7%) patients. Although associated comorbidities (p=0.01), postoperative intensive care unit admission (p=0.03), and postoperative hypotension (p=0.02) were significant risk factors in univariate analysis, septic shock (p=0.001), delayed intervention (p=0.04), preoperative hypoalbuminemia (p=0.017), and perforation size >5mm (p= 0.04) were found as independent risk factors for leakage upon multivariate analysis. Conclusion. Delayed presentation in septic shock, preoperative hypoalbuminemia, prolonged perforation, operation interval, and large perforation size > 5mm were detected as independent risk factors for leakage. Postoperative tachypnea and tachycardia with increased levels of C-reactive protein and total leucocytic count are alarming signs for incidence of leakage.
Old is New Again: The Economics of Agricultural Gypsum Use

Gypsum use on cropland offers a number of potential benefits. We surveyed a sample of farmers to learn more about their experiences with gypsum. Respondentsâ€™ evaluations of gypsum suggest significant benefits in a number of areas related to soil fertility and condition, water management, and crop performance. Most estimated their gypsum use to be profitable, and their mean partial benefit to cost (B/C) ratio was 1.68. Benefits from gypsum usage were not instantaneous, but rather increased over time. Also, substantial off-farm benefits were likely realized with their gypsum use.
Yama: Providing Performance Isolation for Black-Box Offloads

The sharing of clusters with various on-NIC offloads by high-level entities (users, containers, etc.) has become increasingly common. Performance isolation across these entities is desired because the offloads can become bottlenecks due to the limited capacity of hardware. However, the existing works that provide scheduling and resource management to NIC offloads all require customization of the NIC or offloads, while commodity off-the-shelf NICs and offloads with proprietary implementation have been widely deployed in datacenters. This paper presents Yama, the first solution to enable per-entity isolation in the sharing of such black-box NIC offloads. Yama provides a generic framework that captures a common abstraction to the operation of most offloads, which allows operators to incorporate existing offloads. The framework proactively probes for the performance of the offloads with auxiliary workload and enforces isolation at the initiator side. Yama also accommodates chained offloads. Our evaluation shows that 1) Yama achieves per-entity max-min fairness for various types of offloads and in complicated offload chaining scenarios; 2) Yama quickly converges to changes in equilibrium and 3) Yama adds negligible overhead to application workload.
Comparison between thermal comfort predictive models and subjective responses in Italian university classrooms

SUMMARY This work is focused on the evaluation of indoor thermal quality and shows some results of a wider field study in university classrooms. The field study was conducted through physical observations and questionnaires, performed at the same time during the regular lesson time, in a period just before the start of the heating season. The predictions of dissatisfied occupants, based both on Fanger’s heat balance model and on an adaptive approach, were compared to each other. The subjective survey investigated the thermal acceptability, the thermal preference and the thermal sensation, asking students to assess their comfort on subjective scales. The calculated predicted votes were compared to the observed subjective responses. Moreover, the subjective mean votes were compared to the thermal environment perceptions in terms of acceptability and preference. The obtained results give a contribution to t he enrichment of knowledge about thermal subjective responses in classrooms.
Polarización espacial y dinámicas de la desigualdad intrarregional en México

Un aspecto central en el estudio de las disparidades regionales en Mexico es la potencial nivelacion entre las desigualdades economicas y las espaciales. Tal preocupacion original se encuentra asociada con la acentuacion de los antagonismos regionales y la generacion de focos de tension politica y social. Al respecto, existe un especial interes por entender la heterogeneidad espacial, es decir, como ciertos procesos difieren entre regiones y en que medida las unidades espaciales —estados, municipios, ciudades, regiones, etcetera— pudieran influirse mutuamente en la adopcion de ciertas practicas sociales y economicas, condicionando con ello su respuesta dinamica dentro del sistema regional. El analisis de estos temas se ha diluido en la literatura bajo el actual sesgo metodologico y teorico. A pesar de que varios estudios en Mexico reflejan la preocupacion por el cambio espacial, hay grandes rezagos debido a la falta de la consideracion de metodos espacialmente explicitos de analisis de datos.
Revising Iranian Experience in Establishing Pedestrian Zones; Surveying Strengths and Weaknesses of Pedestrian Zones in Tehran

Though the experience of pedestrian establishing in the world backs to 70 years ago, this is a new approach in Iran. In recent years, establishing pedestrian zone is getting more popular due to paradigm shift in urban governance from motorized to human based development. Pedestrian zones like 17 Shahrivar (Shohada), 15 khordad, Sepah-Salar, Soore-Esrafil, Babe-Homayoon, Naser Khosro, Marvi, Saboonian, Ehsani, Shah-Abdol- Azim, and Baradarane- Mozaffar are the results of such paradagim shift. Present paper tries to evaluate these pedestrian zones in order to determine the strengths and weeknesses of each one. Direct observations and interviews were used as research tools. The results of evaluation and comparative comparison show that from 11 pedestrian zones in Tehran, Sepahsalar, 15 khordad and Shah-Abol-Azim have the best conditions while Baradarane Mozafar and 17 Shahrivar have inappropriate situation. Although pedestrian zones in Tehran are almost in appropriate level from pedestrian facilities point of view like pavement and lightening; some factors such as lack of mixed land use, motorcycles and cars penetrating the pedestrian zones, lack of public toilets and disabled facilities, ignorance of public participation have negative effects on citizen satisfaction.
Source Parameters of the Intraplate Event in Guinea, West Africa.

This study reports the results of seismological studies conducted following the occurrence of the largest earthquake with associated ground breakage to affect Guinea, in West Africa in 100 years on December 22, 1983 (USGS location 11.93 0 S and 13.60 0 W) and was followed by about 1,000 aftershocks. The main shock of the intraplate earthquake was felt over an area of about 15 km and several lives and property were lost on that occasion. Earthquakes have been reported in Guinea during the century mainly in the area and to the north of Cape Verde Islands. Some source parameters of the December 22, 1983 Guinea have been calculated. Body wave magnitude mb was calculated to be 6.3. Seismic moment, average fault dislocation, stress drop, seismic energy, and fault length were calculated to be 1.98 x 10 20 N-m, 0.6m, 545 kpa, 1.3 x 10 21 Joule, and 10 km, respectively. The significance of this study is its contribution to the observational data for such earthquakes in stable continental regions and for the seismicity of West Africa.

Some suggestion has been made on the basis of findings of the study.
Sinuosity effects on Longitudinal Dispersion Coefficient

A method for reaching longitudinal dispersion coefficient accounting sinuosity effects is suggested. The proposed method was verified using 43 sets of measured field data from previous study were collected from 30 streams and these data were chosen depends on characteristics availability (flow parameters, fluid properties and Sinuosity). Statistical programs namely MINITAB and SPSS were used to derive the relationship between measured longitudinal dispersion coefficient and geometric parameters were used. The new predicted formulas of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient, were correlated with a high coefficient compared to the measured data (i.e. R2 = 0.92 and 0.94) excluding and including sinuosity in the calculations respectively. Comparisons made among 16 other studies of over long period of measured, experimental, and predicted longitudinal dispersion coefficient from different cross-sectional areas (e.g. triangle, rectangular, full and half full circular pipe, parabolic, narrow and deep and, wide and shallow). The correlation coefficients increased when including irregularities (Sinuosity) term of the natural streams of different cross section in the calculations. Also, the second equation which including sinuosity is more precisely describing the longitudinal dispersion in the rivers and streams. Thus, we strongly prefer and recommend using the second equation for better result than the one not including sinuosity especially for mixing in the case of brine and wastewater discharge. The two results were compared for RMSE (30.1, 24.0, 51.0, 48.9, 90.6, and 70.0) to previous studies e.g. Kashefipour and Falconer (2002), Deng et al. (2001), Seo and Cheong (1998), and Iwasa and Aya (1991) respectively.
Acoustic modes of propagation in the borehole and their relationship to rock properties

Acoustic waveform measurements in boreholes have important applications in fracture hydrology and radioactive waste disposal, but ambiguities in existing interpretation techniques remain a problem. We have addressed the problem by using residue theory to predict the relative excitation of various modes contained in experimental waveforms. A plane‐geometry model involving a layer of fluid between two elastic half‐spaces is shown to provide velocity dispersion curves for propagating modes that are very similar to those for the fluid‐filled borehole. We use the plane‐geometry model to illustrate the effects of the confined borehole fluid on surface and body waves traveling along the borehole in the elastic solid. We also computed excitation functions for some of the lowest‐order symmetric modes, calculated the time‐domain response of the trapped modes following the shear head waves, and compared them to waveforms recorded in boreholes through several homogeneous formations. The insight into the mode composit.
Seismic phases and scaling associated with small high-explosive surface shots

Abstract An analysis of seismic field data from surface shots in two radically different geologic environments shows significantly different seismic phases at the two sites. At the first site, which has a layered sedimentary section, five distinct phases are observed: the P -wave first arrival; a complex wave train consisting of higher mode Rayleigh waves; a precursor to air-blast wave; the air blast wave; and the air-coupled Rayleigh waves. Records from the second site, overlying an unlayered mass of igneous rocks, show only three distinct seismic phases: the P -wave first arrival; a simple wave train of fundamental-mode Rayleigh and Love waves; and an air blast wave. Peak ground velocity, based on the average of the three largest amplitudes in the surface waves preceding the air blast wave, scales well with yield for both sites. Measurements of peak ground velocity may be used to estimate yields of explosive charges at either site within a factor of about 2 if the source distance is known. The scaling relationship appears to be valid over a wide range of yields and site geological conditions.
Circuit Solutions Toward Broadband Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting: An Impedance Analysis

The literature on piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) systems underscores the role of circuit advancements in enhancing energy harvesting capability in resonance. Recent studies using phase-variable (PV) synchronized switch technologies have also shown potential in broadband PEH, thereby improving off-resonance energy harvesting. However, the electrically induced dynamics by existing interface circuits lack a comprehensive definition and demonstration, hampering the performance comparisons across different circuits. Regarding these gaps, this paper presents an impedance-based analysis and comparison of electromechanical joint dynamics in PEH systems employing various interface circuits. The focus is on their contributions to enhancing harvesting bandwidth. By introducing resonance tunability into the conventional ideal PEH model, this paper proposes a more generic impedance model. It reveals that the achievable dynamic ranges of practical interface circuits are subsets of the ideal arbitrarily tunable scenario. A detailed quantitative study on the attainable ranges of the PV synchronized switch circuit solutions is provided after the introduction of the ideal target. Simulation and experimental data from different interface circuits align well with theoretical findings. The paper concludes that resonance tunability hinges on the extent of the achievable reactive (imaginary) part of the equivalent impedance. Electromechanical coupling conditions and dielectric loss may further impact resonance tunability. The general ideal model and quantitative impedance analysis provided in this paper help guide the future design effort toward high-capability and broadband PEH systems.
Searching for Natural Aurora a Kinase Inhibitors from Peppers Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics

Natural products are the precursors of many medicinal substances. Peppers (Piper, Capsicum, Pimienta) are a rich source of compounds with potential multidirectional biological activity. One of the studied directions is antitumor activity. Little research has been carried out so far on the ability of the compounds contained in peppers to inhibit the activity of Aurora A kinase, the overexpression of which is characteristic of cancer development. In this study, molecular docking methods, as well as molecular dynamics, were used, looking for compounds that could inhibit the activity of Aurora A kinase and trying to determine whether there is a relationship between the stimulation of the TRPV1 receptor and the inhibition of Aurora A kinase. We compared our results with anticancer activity studied earlier on MCF-7 cell lines (breast cancer cells). Our research indicates that the compounds contained in peppers can inhibit Aurora A. Further in vitro research is planned to confirm the obtained results.
Short Communication Youth Psychosis and the other Mental Illness: A Chal-lenged Diagnosis

Studies using standardized diagnostic interviews report particularly high comorbidity rates in children and adolescents with schizophrenia. However, the volume of symptoms other than those required to make the diagnosis of schizophrenia remains the subject of controversy. The question is to consider these symptoms as an additional diagnosis, or as associated characteristics. Be that as it may, the frequency of these symptoms highlights the problems of differential diagnosis encountered in early-onset schizophrenia, particularly during the initial phase of the disorder.
