On the Performance of Power Beacon-Assisted D2D Communications in the Presence of Multi-Jammers and Eavesdropper

In this work, we investigate the performance analysis of a device-to-device (D2D) communication network under an eavesdropper E attack. Besides, we assume that E is located in the proximal region where it can overhear the information from the source S. Specifically, S transmits information to the destination D, adopting the power beacon's energy to surmount the limited energy budget. Moreover, to reduce the quality of the eavesdropping link, the cooperative jamming technique can be used, where the multi-friendly jammers are employed to generate the artificial noises to E continuously. As considering the above presentation, we derive the quality of system analysis in terms of the outage probability (OP), intercept probability (IP), and secrecy outage probability (SOP) of the proposed system model. Finally, the Monte-Carlo simulations are performed to corroborate the exactness of the mathematical analysis.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.
Geo-Referenced Mapping through an Anti-Collision Radar Aboard an Unmanned Aerial System

Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) have enormous potential in many fields of application, especially when used in combination with autonomous guidance. An open challenge for safe autonomous flight is to rely on a mapping system for local positioning and obstacle avoidance. In this article, the authors propose a radar-based mapping system both for obstacle detection and for path planning. The radar equipment used is a single-chip device originally developed for automotive applications that has good resolution in azimuth, but poor resolution in elevation. This limitation can be critical for UAS application, and it must be considered for obstacle-avoidance maneuvers and for autonomous path-planning selection. However, the radar-mapping system proposed in this paper was successfully tested in the following different scenarios: a single metallic target in grass, a vegetated scenario, and in the close proximity of a ruined building.
Generic Sharia Governance and Expertise in Indonesian Digital Islamic Bank Ecosystem

The implementation of Islamic Bank is still way too far from maturity due to the fact that questionably asymmetrical practices and letterlijk practices of Syariah Compliance. It’s no wonder that consumers have troublesome experience in distinguishing between the Islamic Banks and the conventional counterparts, leading them to believe that the Islamic Banks have the same process with the conventional ones come with only labels to differentiate. Indonesia comes with the advantage of moderation, but in the other hand, it offers the dynamic demand of Islamic Bank adoption than makes the infant Islamic Bank practices become even more challenging in this digitalization. On this subject, the capacity of Islamic banks to maintain current customers loyalty while attracting new ones by demonstrating the generic value of Islamic Bank as implemented in good corporate governance and sharia expertise human capital is a significant determinant of the Islamic banks performance and sustainability in the digital industry. This meta-analysis, based on recent studies, provides a broader perspective of Islamic Bank, stating that Islamic Bank is more than just a unique system based on specific compliance to specific rules (Sharia Law), but the implementation of Good Corporate Governance and Sharia Expertise Human Capital, both of which serve as the generic product of Islamic Bank. This study allows banking supervisors, boards of chiefs, and other stakeholders to be more proactive in the current ongoing sharia governance discourse and raise concerns about the current implementations.
Polyethylene Oxide Assisted Fish Collagen-Poly-ε-Caprolactone Nanofiber Membranes by Electrospinning

Fish collagen has higher biocompatibility and lower immunogenicity than terrestrial collagen, and is currently one of the important raw materials for preparing biological materials. In this study, PEO was used as a spinning aid to prepare fish skin collagen-PCL nanofiber membranes by electrospinning, and the process was optimized to get smooth nanofibers. The morphological and mechanical properties of collagen-PCL nanofiber membranes were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The changes in chemical composition due to the incorporation of collagen into PCL and PEO were determined by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The biocompatibility of the collagen-PCL nanofiber membranes was evaluated in vitro in cultures of mouse fibroblasts and in vivo by subcutaneous implantation studies in rats. It was found that the diameter of the spun fibers became fine and smooth when the ratio of the collagen/PCL increased. The finally obtained nanofiber had good mechanical strength, porosity, and hydrophilicity, and could promote cell adhesion and proliferation. The FC-PCL nanofiber membrane prepared by this route opens a new way to prepare fish collagen biomaterials with electrospinning.
Preeminently Robust Neural PPG Denoiser

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a simple and cost-efficient technique that effectively measures cardiovascular response by detecting blood volume changes in a noninvasive manner. A practical challenge in the use of PPGs in real-world applications is noise reduction. PPG signals are likely to be compromised by various types of noise, such as scattering or motion artifacts, and removing such compounding noises using a monotonous method is not easy. To this end, this paper proposes a neural PPG denoiser that can robustly remove multiple types of noise from a PPG signal. By casting the noise reduction problem into a signal restoration approach, we aim to achieve a solid performance in the reduction of different noise types using a single neural denoiser built upon transformer-based deep generative models. Using this proposed method, we conducted the experiments on the noise reduction of a PPG signal synthetically contaminated with five types of noise. Following this, we performed a comparative study using six different noise reduction algorithms, each of which is known to be the best model for each noise. Evaluation results of the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) show that the neural PPG denoiser is superior in three out of five noise types to the performance of conventional noise reduction algorithms. The salt-and-pepper noise type showed the best performance, with the PSNR of the neural PPG denoiser being 36.6080, and the PSNRs of the other methods were 19.8160 and 32.8234. The Poisson noise type performed the worst, showing a PSNR of 33.0090; the PSNRs of other methods were 35.1822 and 33.4795, respectively. Thereafter, an experiment to recover a signal synthesized with two or more of the five noise types was conducted. When the number of mixed noises was two, three, four, and five, the PSNRs were 29.2759, 27.8759, 26.5608, and 25.9402, respectively. Finally, an experiment to recover motion artifacts was also conducted. The synthesized motion artifact signal was created by synthesizing only a certain ratio of the total signal length. As a result of the motion artifact signal restoration, the PSNRs were 25.2872, 22.8240, 21.2901, and 19.9577 at 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% motion artifact ratios, respectively. In the three experiments conducted, the neural PPG denoiser showed that various types of noise were effectively removed. This proposal contributes to the universal denoising of continuous PPG signals and can be further expanded to denoise continuous signals in the general domain.
Recommendations for Treatment of Soft-Tissue Filler Complications

The number of procedures involving soft-tissue filler injections has increased dramatically from 1.7 million in 2010 (American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2010) to 3.4 million in 2020 (American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2020). Although the number of complications arising from soft-tissue filler injections is low, the increase in the number of procedures has led to an increase in the number of complications (De Boulle & Heydenrych, 2015). A multidisciplinary panel of aesthetic experts conducted a comprehensive literature search. After reviewing and discussing the evidence, the experts developed consensus recommendations for the treatment of soft-tissue filler complications (Urdiales-Gálvez et al., 2018). The panel classified soft-tissue filler complications as immediate onset (≤ the procedure), early-onset (24 hr to 4 weeks after the procedure), and delayed onset (>4 weeks after the procedure). However, to simplify the recommendations, the authors discussed immediate and early-onset complications as a single onset.
What makes us apes? The emotional building blocks of intersubjectivity in hominids

Highlights Intersubjectivity has often been lauded as one of the defining features that separates humans and other extant hominids. Intersubjectivity and empathy are different, yet related, phenomena. The study of emotions and empathy-related abilities can provide insights into the ontogeny and evolution of intersubjectivity. Intersubjectivity, which refers to the capacity to create shared value or connection between individuals, is a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon involving both cognitive and affective components. Intersubjectivity has often been lauded as one of the defining features that separates the social minds and existence of humans and non-human animals. Despite the apparently profound importance of inter-subjectivity for the socio-cognitive functioning of our species, we know surprisingly little about its evolution, nor how its evolution relates to the evolution of other related phenomena, such as empathy. In this review, we embrace the “bottom-up” perspective to consider recent theoretical and empirical advances in the fields of non-human animal cognition and emotion and what they can tell us about how complex socio-emotional capacities evolve. In particular, we focus on great ape species. Given their close phylogenetic relationship to us, great apes (the non-human, extant hominids) offer a unique lens to identify which of our capacities may be evolutionarily derived or phylogenetically shared.
Semantic segmentation of street view map on the cityscape of heritage in the historical and cultural city 

The expression and perception of cityscape has significance influence on the preservation and regeneration of heritage. However, due to the urban sprawl in urbanizing, a large number of commercial exploitation have resulted in a series of obstacles on the expression and perception of heritage features. In order to study the importance of the expression and perception of the heritage features on the cityscape, this paper selected a typical historical and cultural city Harbin in China as the research object. In the current work, the large-scale investigation of cityscape was analyzed on the basis of street view map auditing from a human point of view. The relationship of cityscape between the features of heritage and cityscape were investigated using the semantic segmentation of machine vision, and Harbin was taken as a case study to examine whether variations exist between different areas. Results showed a significant coupling in the current city between cityscape and features of heritage. Therefore, according to the results of the relevant analysis, the paper confirmed the key indicators of the perception and expression of heritage, and advances some urban planning strategies to avoid the negative effects that urban sprawl brings to cityscape on heritage. The results of this work will provide a comprehensive understanding of the preservation and regeneration of the heritage.
Regenerative Plasma- und Zelltherapien in der Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie

Regenerative Therapien in der Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie (O&U) werden zur Behandlung akuter Verletzungen oder degenerativer Gewebeschäden eingesetzt. Insbesondere die Therapie verschiedener Arthroseformen und Tendinopathien mittels Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) nimmt mittlerweile einen zentralen Platz in der ambulanten Versorgung ein. Es fehlt bis dato allerdings an robusten Daten zur Wirksamkeit und Produktcharakterisierung. Mesenchymale Zelltherapien werden ebenfalls zur Geweberegeneration durch parakrine Immunmodulation eingesetzt und befinden sich aktuell noch in präklinischen und klinischen Forschungsstadien. In den kommenden Jahren wird neben der Sicherheit insbesondere die langfristige Wirksamkeit von Plasma- und Zelltherapien im Fokus der Wissenschaft stehen, um regenerative Therapien klinisch und evidenzbasiert in der O&U zu verankern.
Green Innovation in the MENA Healthcare Industry: A Knowledge-Based View

Drawing on the knowledge-based perspective, this research developed and tested a model consisting of five technological innovation characteristics (relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, observability, and triability) as antecedents, green innovation as a mediator, sustainable competitive advantage as an outcome, and government environmental support as a moderator. A survey was administered to 305 participants from the Middle Eastern healthcare sector and 305 participants from the North African healthcare sector. The findings were antagonistic to what was hypothesized by revealing heterogeneity rather than homogeneity in technological and green innovation perceptions. This research calls for the implementation of newly developed rather than adopted green innovation strategies across the Middle East and North Africa.
Comparison of SVM and LIWC for Sentiment Analysis of SARA

SARA is a sensitive issue based on sentiments about self-identity regarding ancestry, religion, nationality or ethnicity. The impact of the issue of SARA is conflict between groups that leads to hatred and division. SARA issues are widely spread through social media, especially Twitter. To overcome the problem of SARA, it is necessary to develop an effective method to filter negative SARA. This study aims to analyze Indonesian-language tweets and determine whether the tweet contains positive or negative SARA or does not contain SARA (neutral). Machine learning (i.e., SVM) and lexicon-based method (i.e., LIWC) were compared based on 450 tweet data to determine the best approach for each sentiment (positive, negative, and neutral). The best evaluation results are shown in the negative SARA classification using SVM with λ = 3 and γ = 0.1, where Precision = 0.9, Recall = 0.6, and F1-Score = 0.72. The best results from the positive SARA classification were shown in the LIWC method, where Precision = 0.6, Recall = 0.8, and F1-Score = 0.69. The best evaluation results for neutral classification are shown in SVM with λ = 3 and γ = 0.1, with Precision = 0.52, Recall = 0.87, and F1-Score = 0.65.
Auxin-Producing Bacteria from Duckweeds Have Different Colonization Patterns and Effects on Plant Morphology

The role of auxin in plant–microbe interaction has primarily been studied using indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-producing pathogenic or plant-growth-promoting bacteria. However, the IAA biosynthesis pathway in bacteria involves indole-related compounds (IRCs) and intermediates with less known functions. Here, we seek to understand changes in plant response to multiple plant-associated bacteria taxa and strains that differ in their ability to produce IRCs. We had previously studied 47 bacterial strains isolated from several duckweed species and determined that 79% of these strains produced IRCs in culture, such as IAA, indole lactic acid (ILA), and indole. Using Arabidopsis thaliana as our model plant with excellent genetic tools, we performed binary association assays on a subset of these strains to evaluate morphological responses in the plant host and the mode of bacterial colonization. Of the 21 tested strains, only four high-quantity IAA-producing Microbacterium strains caused an auxin root phenotype. Compared to the commonly used colorimetric Salkowski assay, auxin concentration determined by LC–MS was a superior indicator of a bacteria’s ability to cause an auxin root phenotype. Studies with the auxin response mutant axr1-3 provided further genetic support for the role of auxin signaling in mediating the root morphology response to IAA-producing bacteria strains. Interestingly, our microscopy results also revealed new evidence for the role of the conserved AXR1 gene in endophytic colonization of IAA-producing Azospirillum baldaniorum Sp245 via the guard cells.
Ideas and perspectives: Sea-Level Change, Anaerobic Methane Oxidation, and the Glacial-Interglacial Phosphorus Cycle

Abstract. The oceanic phosphorus cycle describes how phosphorus moves through the ocean, accumulates with the sediments on the seafloor, and participates in biogeochemical reactions. We propose a new two-reservoir scenario of the glacial-interglacial phosphorus cycle. It relies on diagenesis in methane hydrate-bearing sediments to mobilize sedimentary phosphorus and transfer it to the oceanic reservoir during times when falling sea level lowers the hydrostatic pressure on the seafloor and destabilizes methane hydrates. The stock of solid phase phosphorus mobilizable by this process is of the same order of magnitude as the dissolved phosphate inventory of the current oceanic reservoir. The potential, additional flux of phosphate during the glacial period is of the same order of magnitude as pre-agricultural, riverine dissolved phosphate fluxes to the ocean. Throughout the cycle, primary production assimilates phosphorus and inorganic carbon into biomass which, upon settling and burial, returns phosphorus to the sedimentary reservoir. Primary production also lowers the partial pressure of CO2 in the surface ocean, potentially drawing down CO2 from the atmosphere. Concurrent with this slow ‘biological pump’, but operating in the opposite direction, a ’physical pump’ brings metabolic CO2-enriched waters from deep-ocean basins to the upper ocean. The two pumps compete, but the direction of the CO2 flux at the air-sea interface depends on the nutrient content of the deep waters. Because of the transfer of reactive phosphorus to the sedimentary reservoir throughout a glaciation cycle, low phosphorus/ high CO2 deep waters reign at the beginning of a deglaciation, resulting in rapid transfer of CO2 to the atmosphere. The new scenario provides another element to the suite of processes that may have contributed to the rapid glacial-interglacial climate transitions documented in paleo-records.
Combined use of foliar zinc fertilisation, thiamethoxam and propiconazole does not reduce their effectiveness for enriching zinc in wheat grains and controlling insects and disease

ABSTRACT Agronomic biofortification is possible through foliar zinc fertilisation around the earing and early milk stage of wheat. Farmers can be encouraged to apply foliar zinc fertilisation if there is yield enhancement or if it is compatible with other pesticides which are used during these stages to control aphid and stripe rust. To investigate the effectiveness of tank-mix applications of fertiliser and pesticide for enriching grain zinc and controlling the spread of aphid and stripe rust, studies were conducted at Punjab Agricultural Univeristy, Ludhiana, India for 4 years (2017–18 to 2020–21). We tested tank-mixing of zinc (0.5% ZnSO4.7H2O) + thiamethoxam 25 WG (50 g/ha), zinc + propiconazole (500 mL/ha) and zinc + thiamethoxam + propiconazole with one foliar application at the milk stage and two foliar applications at the flag leaf and milk stages. We did not find any adverse effect of tank-mix application of zinc sulfate, thiamethoxam and propiconazole on zinc enrichment in grains, nor in aphid and stripe rust control. The grain zinc enhancement was 99.8–114.9, 100.2–112.1 and 98.0–115.5% with application of foliar Zn, foliar Zn + thiamethoxam and foliar Zn + thiamethoxam and propiconazole respectively. We also found 5.74% increased grain yield with foliar Zn + thiamethoxam and 7.24% increased grain yield in foliar Zn + thiamethoxam + propiconazole. Better net returns in combining Zn + thiamethoxam + propiconazole were also recorded. The results advocate for the tank-mix application of Zinc + thiamethoxam + propiconazole for pest management and Zn biofortification.

The removal effects of COD,NH3-N,TN and TP by bio-contact oxidation process under operating modes of continuous influent intermittent aeration and continuous influent continuous aeration at different organic loading levels were discussed.The results showed that:when the HRT was 5.8 h,the continuous aeration time was 4 h and the aeration pause time was 1.8 h,the water treatment effect under the intermittent aeration mode was equal to that under the continuous aeration mode,and the effluent quality met the specification for level B of grade 1 in Discharge standard of pollutants for municipal wastewater treatment plant(GB 18918—2002). The study could provide guidance for the development of enenry-saving process.
A Capacitive-Coupling Winding Tap Injection DSTATCOM Integrated With Distribution Transformer for Balance and Unbalance Operations

The intelligent substations should be developed to perform multifunction operations, including power flow control, voltage regulation, and cost-effective power quality (PQ) improvement. In this article, an intelligent substation by a distribution transformer integrated with a capacitive-coupling winding tap injection static synchronous compensator (CWTI-DSTATCOM) is proposed for balance and unbalance operations. Compared with the state-of-the-art approaches, CWTI-DSTATCOM can operate at a low dc voltage with a small active inverter rating, which also can provide distributed voltage, reactive, and unbalanced current compensation. The power rating reduction mechanism is mathematically revealed via balance and unbalance compensation analysis, which is further used to determine the optimal inverter power rating of unbalance operation via an optimal LC filter design method. Furthermore, a comprehensive compensation control strategy is developed to coordinate the transformer taps and the active inverter under balanced and unbalanced operations. Simulation and real-time digital simulator hardware-in-the-loop experiments are performed to prove the validity and effectiveness of the proposed topology over inverter rating reduction and PQ enhancement.
Bilateral sacroiliitis following group C streptococcal sepsis

Abstract Reactive arthritis particularly affects individuals 20 to 40 years old. The most common preceding infections are enteric and urogenital. The association of group C and group G streptococcal infections with reactive arthritis is rare. We present a case of old-onset bilateral sacroiliitis following group C streptococcal infection in an 81-year-old woman, treated successfully with a steroid taper and infliximab.
