Received May 15, 2021 Revised May 31, 2022 Accepted Jun 29, 2022 Multi-filed packet classification is a powerful classification engine that classifies input packets into different fields based on predefined rules. As the demand for the internet increases, efficient network routers can support many network features like quality of services (QoS), firewalls, security, multimedia communications, and virtual private networks. However, the traditional packet classification methods do not fulfill today’s network functionality and requirements efficiently. In this article, an efficient range enhanced packet classification (REPC) module is designed using a range bit-vector encoding method, which provides a unique design to store the precomputed values in memory. In addition, the REPC supports range to prefix features to match the packets to the corresponding header fields. The synthesis and implementation results of REPC are analyzed and tabulated in detail. The REPC module utilizes 3% slices on Artix-7 field programmable gate array (FPGA), works at 99.87 Gbps throughput with a latency of 3 clock cycles. The proposed REPC is compared with existing packet classification approaches with better hardware constraints improvements.
Wind tunnel investigation of a 14 foot vertical axis windmill

A full scale wind tunnel investigation was made to determine the performance characteristics of a 14-ft diameter vertical-axis windmill. The parameters measured were wind velocity, shaft torque, shaft rotation rate, along with the drag and yawing moment. A velocity survey of the flow field downstream of the windmill was also made. The results of these tests along with some analytically predicted data are presented in the form of generalized data as a function of tip speed ratio. (Author) (GRA)
Optimization of cardiac-cycle synchronized control for ventricular assist devices

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in the developed countries. The use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) is an option for treating patients with end-stage heart failure which is increasingly applied, while heart transplantation represents the gold standard therapy. The reason for the increased use is both due to a shortage of donor organs and the improvement of VAD technology. One important engineering task in the field is the feedback control of VADs. Besides the adaptation of the operating point of the pump to the physiological demand, a synchronization of the action of the VAD to the cardiac cycle has shown to have a significant effect on hemodynamics in previous research. This thesis aims at extending the state of knowledge in this specific area. This is realized by establishing an algorithm that synchronizes a VAD to the cardiac cycle based on the electrocardiogram while being robust to disturbances and arrhythmic events. The results of an in vivo study using a cardiac-cycle synchronized volume-displacement VAD are presented. These results indicate that controlling the timing of a volumedisplacement VAD with respect to the cardiac cycle yields control over hemodynamic variables. Further, the previous research on cardiac-cycle synchronized actuation of turbodynamic VADs (tVADs) is summarized and a definition of the phase shift between such a device and the cardiac cycle is established that allows to compare the hemodynamic effects obtained by different research groups that applied such speed modulation strategies. Finally, a methodology is presented that allows for numerical optimization of cardiac-cycle synchronized speed profiles of a tVAD. It is demonstrated that the values of user-defined physiological objective functions can be further improved by using optimized speed profiles compared to the traditionally used squareor sine-wave speed profiles. The tools developed during the course of this thesis are thought to be appli-
Energy used in the Construction and Operation of Houses

Efforts to minimise energy consumption in houses have now broadened to the consideration of major life cycle energy inputs. This is part of a more holistic approach to energy analysis which takes into account the wider environmental impact of buildings. Research work is reported which looks at the relative proportions of operational and embodied energy of houses and compares this with previously published work. It is shown that embodied energy is a significant part of the life cycle energy consumption of houses and this justifies further consideration by designers. The amount of energy used during onsite construction is also addressed as part of life cycle energy consumption.
A Threshold-based Brain Tumour Segmentation from MR Images
 using Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization

The Pareto optimal solution is unique in single objective Particle Swarm Optimization (SO-PSO) problems as the emphasis is on the variable space of the decision. A multi-objective-based optimization technique called Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MO-PSO) is introduced in this paper for image segmentation. The multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MO-PSO) technique extends the principle of optimization by facilitating simultaneous optimization of single objectives. It is used in solving various image processing problems like image segmentation, image enhancement, etc. This technique is used to detect the tumour of the human brain on MR images. To get the threshold, the suggested algorithm uses two fitness(objective) functions-Image entropy and Image variance. These two objective functions are distinct from each other and are simultaneously optimized to create a sequence of pareto-optimal solutions. The global best (G best ) obtained from MO-PSO is treated as threshold. The MO-PSO technique tested on various MRI images provides its efficiency with experimental findings. In terms of “best, worst, mean, median, standard deviation” parameters, the MO-PSO technique is also contrasted with the existing Single-objective PSO (SO-PSO) technique. Experimental results show that Multi Objective-PSO is 28% advanced than SO-PSO for „best‟ parameter with reference to image entropy function and 92% accuracy than Single Objective-PSO with reference to image variance function.
ESC/ESVS-Guidelines 2017 zur Diagnose und Behandlung der peripheren arteriellen Verschlusskrankheit // ESC-ESCS-Guidelines 2017 for diagnosis and treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease

ESC-ESCS-Guidelines 2017 for diagnosis and treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease. The prevalence of lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) increases exponentially after the age of 65 years and reaches 20% in patients 80 years and older. Screening for LEAD should be performed based on clinical suspicion. LEAD necessitates a multimodal therapeutic approach ranging from pharmacologic secondary prophylaxis to exercise therapy and endovascular or surgical revascularization. In asymptomatic >60-% extracranial carotid stenosis, revascularization should be performed based on stroke risk. Carotid artery stenting is recommended as an alternative to open surgery in case of high surgical risk. Z Gefäßmed 2019; 16 (1): 6–13.
Microbial Quality of Spicy Roasted Meat (Suya) Retailed in Ogbete Main Market and Oye Emene Market, in Enugu Metropolis, Nigeria

Microbiological quality, targeting contamination with Escherichia coli, of ready-to-eat spicy meat product, “Suya” retailed in Ogbete Main Market (Location 1) and Oye Emene Market (Location 2), in Enugu, Nigeria was evaluated. Forty-eight samples of the “suya,” in forms of beef, liver, intestine, and chicken, were homogenized and serially diluted with sterile distilled water and plated into Eosin Methylene Blue agar using Pour Plate Technique. Identification of isolates were based on cultural characteristics, Gram stain reaction and Biochemical (IMViC) test, and confirmed by molecular test using 16S rRNA gene. Result showed that E coli were isolated from all the samples. Total colony counts (TCC) of all E.coli isolates were at inoculums much greater than the known infective dose for the Enteropathogenic strains. Least TCC in the April-August 2015 test samples from Locations 1/2 were: 5.6 x10/6.0 x 10, respectively; and 4.4 ×10/3.2 x 10, respectively in Locations1/2 in the SeptemberNovember 2016 test. The four highest TCC were from the cow intestine suya. In conclusion, “suya” sold to the public are contaminated, probably of faecal origin; therefore not fit for human consumption. This study also underscores the need for improved surveillance system on suya products, to enforce good food hygiene practices.
DETERMINANTS OF HOUSEHOLD ELECTRICITY DEMAND IN RURAL INDIA: A CASE STUDY OF THE IMPACTS OF GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES AND SURCHARGES

This paper analyses the determinants of household electricity consumption with the focus to find the impact of government subsidies and surcharges on the demand for electricity services in the rural areas. Using surveyed household data of 332 samples, quantile regression has been employed for checking heterogeneity in electricity demand across different quantile of households. We find government subsidy has enhanced the household demand for electricity consumption with the elasticity ranging from 45 to 65%. Skeptically, electricity consumers of higher quantile tend to consume more even in the presence of outstanding bill while it is the opposite for low quantile group. Surprisingly, income and other socioeconomics variables don’t necessarily affect the households demand for electricity. This implies demand for electricity is inelastic to income and selected socioeconomic variables in rural regions. However, electricity demand decreases for households with dwelling characteristics categorized as poorer quantile. Based on our empirical findings implications are drawn for policy makers.

The Upregulation of PLXDC2 Correlates with Immune Microenvironment Characteristics and Predicts Prognosis in Gastric Cancer

Tumor microenvironment (TME) has been demonstrated to exhibit a regulatory effect on the progressions of gastric cancer (GC). However, the related functions of stromal and immune components (TME-associated genes) in TME remain largely unclear. From the TCGA dataset, we downloaded the clinical data of 375 GC cases and then estimated the percentage of tumor-infiltrating immunocytes (TICs) and the levels of immune and stromal constituents by the use of CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE tolls. Univariate assays were applied to study the differentially expressed genes. The associations between the clinical information of GC patients and the expressions of the specific genes were analyzed based on the TCGA datasets. The effect of Plexin domain containing 2 (PLXDC2) expression on TICs was conducted. We observed that PLXDC2 expression was distinctly upregulated in GC specimens compared with nontumor gastric specimens. Its upregulation was associated with advanced clinical stages and predicted a shorter overall survival of GC patients. The genes in the group of higher expressing PLXDC2 were primarily enriched in immunity-associated events. By the use of CIBERSORT, we observed that PLXDC2 expressions were related to the proportion of dendritic cells resting, T cell CD4 memory resting, eosinophils, mastocyte resting, mononuclear cells, plasma cells, T cell follicle helper, macrophage M2, and dendritic cells activated. Overall, our discoveries revealed that the expression of PLXDC2 was remarkable in GC, might be a possible biomarker for GC, and provided novel contents regarding immune infiltrates, offering novel insight for treatments of GC.

Recent events in Competitive Intelligence

In a context of progress and development in a common area and environment, the elements that participate in the dynamic interaction of this environment (individuals, groups or associations, organizations, companies, societies, etc.) correlate unfailingly in terms of competition. The survival and vital expansion of these actors depends in good part on the skilful treatment that they do with information about the factors that influence their relationship with the environment: information on resources, trends, risks, advantages, etc. Ultimately, the global process of every activity converges fundamentally on the urgency of a strategy.
The Role of Event-Based Representations and Reasoning in Language

This chapter brieﬂy reviews the research conducted on the representation of events, from the perspectives of natural language processing, artiﬁcial intelligence (AI), and linguistics. AI approaches to modeling change have traditionally focused on situations and state descriptions. Linguistic approaches start with the description of the propositional content of sentences (or natural language expressions generally). As a result, the focus in the two ﬁelds has been on different problems. Namely, linguistic theories try to maintain compositionality in the expressions associated with linguistic units, or what is known as semantic compositionality . In AI and in the planning community in particular the focus has been on maintaining compositionality in the way plans are constructed, as well as the correctness of the algorithm that searches and traverses the state space. This can be called plan compositionality . I argue that these approaches have common elements that can be drawn on to view event semantics from a unifying perspective, where we can distinguish between the surface events denoted by verbal predicates and what I refer to as the latent event structure of a sentence. Latent events within a text refer to the ﬁner-grained subeventual representations of events denoted by verbs or nominal expressions, as well as to hidden events connoted by nouns. By clearly distinguishing between surface and latent event structures of sentences and texts, we move closer to a general computational theory of event structure, one permitting a common vocabulary for events and the relations between them, while enabling reasoning at multiple levels of interpretation.
Does Anyone Care About External Validity? A Call (or Plea?) for More OB/HR Research From Multiple Organizations/Industries, Panels, and Publicly Available Datasets

To answer my own question: I do, and I think you should too! But let me digress for a minute. I have been told that this is the first article in a newGroup &OrganizationManagement (GOM) section called GOMusings (the Editor is quite creative, ha? ). The primary purpose of this section is to give author(s) an opportunity to (1) “refresh” readers minds about a particular topic, or (2) cause readers to re-think their old (and often outdated assumptions or opinions), or (3) spark a needed debate about a particular topic, or (4) shape thinking about a new topic (in no particular order, of course). However, this section is going to be a bit different than your traditional article. You might ask: how so? Great, thanks for asking! Think of Andy Rooney’s segments on 60 Minutes (kids, if you have no idea what I am talking about, try to do a search on whatever is the currently hip thing to search on—Is that YouTube? TikTok? Or something else with a capital letter in the middle of the name? ). Andy Rooney segments were
Peculiarities of the psycho-emotional state of patients with endometrial pathology

The objective: a determination of anxiety and depression levels in patients in perimenopausal period with hyperplastic processes of the endometrium and myometrium.Materials and methods. 150 patients in the perimenopausal period were examined. The main group included 100 persons with hyperplastic process, the control group – 50 healthy women in perimenopausal period. We used the PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 questionnaires to study the level of anxiety and depression. In order to objectively assess the degree of anxiety and depressive symptoms, a questionnaire was conducted according to the Hospital Scale of Anxiety and Depression (HADS). Results. The analysis of data on the frequency of major types of extragenital pathology in the examined patients demonstrated that in the structure of extragenital pathology the following diseases dominated: varicose veins of the lower extremities – 61.0±4.9 %, arterial hypertension of 2–3 stages – 46.0±4.98 %; coronary heart disease, stenocardia – 8.0±2.7 %; obesity – 43.0±4.95 %, liver, gallbladder and pancreas pathologies – 42.0±4.93 %. In 78.0 % of patients, somatic pathology was represented by two or more diagnoses. The results of the survey demonstrated that in the main group 23.0 % of women had mild «subclinical» depression; 19.0 % – moderate, and 12.0 % – moderate depression. The women in the main group had the following psychoemotional disorders: the feeling of fatigue and exhaustion – 64.0±4.8 %, sleep disorders – 64.0±4.8 %, appetite problems – 46.0±4.98 %, depressed mood and low interest in ordinary affairs – 54.0±4.98 %, the difficulty concentrating – 33.0±4.7%, hypodynamia – 26.0±4.4 %. Four percent of patients intended to do something with themselves. Analysis of the results obtained using the HADS scale revealed that both anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients in the main group were more pronounced than in the control women.Conclusion. The identified psycho-emotional disorders are the result of adverse effects of somatic diseases and gynecological pathology. The results of the study indicate the need to correct psycho-emotional disorders and take them into account when choosing a method of treatment for such patients.
Application of social spider optimization and improved active disturbance rejection controller in hierarchical control of cooperative multi-lift with four unmanned helicopters

To achieve the three-dimensional free movement of the slung load, a load-leading hierarchical control strategy has been adopted recently which divides the cooperative multi-lift system into a load layer, a cable layer, and an aircraft layer. But there exists a non-convex optimization problem in the cable layer when computing the force of each cable, and more control difficulties of the aircraft due to the additional disturbances resulting from the load movement. To solve these problems, an application of the social spider optimization (SSO) algorithm and the improved active disturbance rejection controller (IADRC) in hierarchical control of cooperative multi-lift with four unmanned helicopters is proposed in this study. First, the unmanned helicopters as well as the load are modeled. Then the three layers mentioned above are designed, respectively. Specifically, an optimization method combining SSO with the MATLAB/fmincon function is proposed to solve the non-convex problem in the cable layer. And within the unmanned helicopter layer, the fuzzy theory is introduced into the nonlinear error feedback control strategy of the traditional active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) to realize the control of the unmanned helicopter. At last, some simulations are carried out, and the results indicate that the system has higher calculation efficiency, smaller steady-state error, and better adaptability to trajectory change or load release with the designed hierarchical control strategy.
O jogo do genoma: um estudo sobre o ensino de genética no ensino médio

The production of knowledge takes place more quickly than changes in education can follow. In biology, many new theories are quickly translated into products that are in turn absorbed by society. It is necessary to discuss the new concepts together with the classical ideas in high school. This paper aims to discuss the classical and modern genetics from the evaluation: i) the space dedicated to [these] issues in textbooks, ii) the analysis of placements of students about new concepts of "New Biology", iii) development and discussion of the use of "Game of the Genome" among high school students. To answer these questions, the results are divided into three chapters, in addition to Annex I (Xavier et al., 2006). Article in Annex I assessed the content of textbooks. A total of 12 books was analyzed quantitative and qualitatively. The results of this paper suggest that only a few books have terms associated with "New Biology", besides having a lot of space devoted to the classical terms Genetica.O Section 5.1 demonstrated the views of students about the concepts of "New Biology". Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were applied to public and private schools in two cities in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The results suggest that students know about the concepts related to the "New Biology", especially those that are being discussed now longer and more widely by the media. Chapter 5.2 discusses the development of the "Game of the Genome. " Chapter 5.3 discusses the use of the game in the third year classes of high schools in the city of Petropolis, State of Rio Students played the game and answered questions for the impressions of the game could be obtained. The results suggest that the Genome Game can be used in genetics classes to motivate students to participate more actively in their own learning. In this study, we observed that textbooks do not cover the minimum content on the advances in biotechnology, and students are not proficient in most of the themes of "New Biology". On the other hand, the "Game of the Genome" seems to motivate students so that they act as an auxiliary tool and efficient for teaching genetics and can also be used in teaching biology.
