A ﬁrst-order optimization method for learning to reconstruct opacity in computational imaging

Unknown self-occlusion in a scene with opaque objects causes the multiview reconstruction problem to become ill-posed and nonlinear. In this paper we describe a nonlinear optimization method for simultaneously reconstructing the object and occlusion. The approach uses a simple learning stage which forms hypotheses for scene opacity given locally-optimal reconstruction estimates. This is combined with a ﬁrst-order projected-gradient method for imposing physical consistency. Results are demonstrated for simulated examples.
Association of Dental Caries in Primary Teeth With HLA Class II Gene Among Syrian Children

Background and objectives Numerous studies have shown that there is evidence that genetic factors contribute in different ways to the occurrence of caries lesions, and the multiple differences in the human leucocytes antigen (HLA) gene patterns play an important role in the body's immune response. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between some HLA class II alleles (HLA-DR4, HLA-DQ2, HLA-DQ4) and early childhood caries (ECC) occurrence in Syrian children. Materials and methods The study included 80 children aged three to six, divided into two groups: Group 1 (n = 40) being severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) children (deft ≥ 10) and Group 2 (n = 40) being free caries children (deft = 0). The genomic DNAs were extracted and collected by taking a buccal swab using a sterile metal strip and were amplified by polymerase chain reaction-single specific primer (PCR-SSP) and then HLA-typing was performed for all alleles. Results There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of occurrence of S-ECC, HLA-DR4, and HLA-DQ2 alleles (p = 0.626, 0.256 respectively), while the incidence of S-ECC was associated with the DQ4 allele (p = 0.012). Conclusion HLA class II molecules may play a crucial role in predisposing to ECC, since positive HLA-DQ4 may enhance the chance of developing ECC. However, no association were found between (HLA-DR4 and HLA-DQ2) and ECC.
HUBUNGAN KOMPLEKSITAS INFORMASI (TRANSAKSI PIHAK BERELASI DAN PENGHINDARAN PAJAK) DAN BIAYA AUDIT

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship of information complexity and audit fee. The complexity of information comes from related party transaction and tax avoidance. Related party transaction are measured by the sum of sales, purchases, loans and loans between related parties. Tax avoidance is measured by Cash ETR. The population of this study is all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2013-2017. The final sample in this study was 241 observations. The results of this study are tax avoidance does not have a positive relationship on audit fee. Then, related party transaction have a positive effect on audit fee. In addition, this study also examined the role of institutional ownership on the relationship of information complexity (related party transaction and tax avoidance) to audit fee. This study reveals that institutional ownership has been shown to weaken the relationship between tax avoidance and audit fee. With the existence of institutional ownership as good external monitoring, the effect of tax avoidance on audit fee is expected to be minimized. Along with monitoring of institutional investors, the risks faced by auditors will be reduced in auditing and this will have an impact on audit fee.
NITROGENOUS FERTILIZATION LEVELS AND ROOT MYCORRHIZAL COLONIZATION ON PLANT GROWTH AND PRODUCTIVITY IN WHEAT CROPS

In a two-year study (2002-2003), mycorrhizal treatments in conjunction with three nitrogen fertilization levels of 0, 50, 100 kg of N/hawere tested on durum wheat in continuous cropping. The study took place in the Province of Foggia, a semi-arid area of the Mediterranean Basin in southern Italy, with silty-clay soil classified as Typic Chromoxerert. Seeds of cultivar Simeto were inoculated at sowing, and a completely randomized block design with three replications with and without inoculation was adopted. Plant samples were taken during the vegetative cycle of the durum wheat, and the root mycorrhizal colonization was examined. In all treatments,the percentage of colonised root length was significantly higher in the inoculated plants than it was in the control. The plants inoculated and fertilized with 50 kg N/ha showed a significant increase in grain yield.

Effects of environment change on plant diversity after thinning

The research on the plantation of Larixprincipis-rupprechtii at Weichang County of Hebei Province was conducted through determination of the shrub and grass,understory light conditions and soil properties,and analysis of correlation of the indicators on the growth of the shrub and grass at thinned and not thinned stands.The results showed that Shannon-Wiener index increase has the extremely remarkable correlation with the canopy coverage and soil capillary porosity.Canopy coverage degree,soil total porosity,capillary porosity and soil bulk density were significantly correlated(P0.05). The total porosity,capillary porosity and bulk density of the soil has the extremely remarkable correlation(P0.01),The total soil porosity and soil non-capillary porosity is significantly related(P0.05). According to principal component analysis,the light,soil porosity and soil nutrient elements affect the understory diversity together,but according to the prior analysis of variance of the indicators,the content of soil nutrient elements shows insignificant differences.Therefore,it can be concluded that the main factors of short-term effects on the understory diversity are supposed to be light(canopy coverage degree,canopy uniformity),water(soil water content).
Evaluation of Thiol/Disulfide Interrelation in Major Depressive Disorder

Objective: Although major depressive disorder (MDD) constitutes a significant part of mental health problems, its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. The inadequacy of diagnostic tests specific to MDD causes difficulty in diagnosis. Therefore, we investigated the situation of thiol/disulfide imbalance, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of many diseases, in MDD patients. Methods: Forty-five MDD patients and 40 non-patient volunteers participated in our study. Sociodemographic data form, Beck Depression Scale, and Clinical Global Impression Scale were used in making the diagnosis and evaluation process. Results: There was a significant difference between the MDD and non-patient groups in native thiol and total thiol levels, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol ratios. No significant difference was detected in terms of disulfide level between the 2 groups. There was no significant difference between the patients’ thiol disulfide ratios and the severity of depression. There was no significant difference between the patients’ symptom duration and thiol disulfide ratios. Nevertheless, a negative correlation was identified between the duration of the patients’ symptoms and their disulfide levels. Conclusion: When the results were examined in terms of thiol and disulfide ratios, they showed that thiol and disulfide ratios were impaired in depression. We think that thiol/disulfide parameters may be a biomarker candidate that can help in the diagnosis of MDD.

Hypertension as a risk factor in stroke: An overview

Stroke is the second most common cause of mortality and the third most common cause of disability worldwide. Stroke has modifiable and non-modifiable factors. Stroke risk factors that can be modified include hypertension. Hypertension can lead to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Hypertension is also influenced by a dynamic and complex interaction between environmental and genetic risk factors. Since there are numerous contributing factors to hypertension, it is a preventable risk factor for stroke.
Uncertainty Estimation in Flood Inundation Mapping: An Application of Non‐parametric Bootstrapping

Disaster prevention planning is affected in a significant way by a lack of in‐depth understanding of the numerous uncertainties involved with flood delineation and related estimations. Currently, flood inundation extent is represented as a deterministic map without in‐depth consideration of the inherent uncertainties associated with variables such as precipitation, streamflow, topographic representation, modelling parameters and techniques, and geospatial operations. The motivation of this study is to estimate uncertainties in flood inundation mapping based on a non‐parametric bootstrapping method. The uncertainty is addressed through the application of non‐parametric bootstrap sampling to the hydrodynamic modelling software, HEC‐RAS, integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS). This approach was used to simulate different water levels and flow rates corresponding to different return periods from the available database. The study area was the Langat River Basin in Malaysia. The results revealed that the inundated land and infrastructure are subject to a flooding hazard of high‐frequency events and that the flood damage potential is increasing significantly for residential areas and valuable land‐use classes with higher return periods. The proposed methodology, as well as the study outcomes, of this paper could be beneficial to policymakers, water resources managers, insurance companies and other flood‐related stakeholders.

Ecological Networks and Greenways: Design of the Pan-European Ecological Network: a national level attempt

The main objective of this paper is to present a national level attempt at designing the Pan-European Ecological Network (PEEN) that is based on Estonian data from a one square kilometre grid. We propose an ecological network design comprising of three principal layers: (1) general topographical features like coastlines, the water network, major roads, and place names for locating the depicted network, (2) habitatbased field of suitability for the ecological network, calculated from network values of landscape features using a predefined algorithm, (3) ecological network as an administrative decision. The second layer serves as a tool supporting decision making while the third layer consists of traditional components of an ecological network, like core areas, corridors, buffer zones, and nature development/restoration areas. The CORINE land cover map, which was adjusted and supplemented using the soil and landscape data, served as the base for PEEN habitat classification. All habitats, linear structures and designated areas were ranked according to their expert -assessed values (from 0 to 10) based on their naturalness, rarity, and potential influence on biodiversity and landscapes. These values served as a basis for calculating the suitability (ranging from –3.65 to +3.75 in our study area) of each square kilometre for the ecological network. Ranking the suitability allows one to distinguish between the core areas, buffer zones and nature development areas. Suitability values were calculated including the influence of designated areas and without it. The natural suitability was calculated without the designated areas. The most common suitability for the ecological network in Estonia was found to be between 1.0 and 1.5. As a rule, the ecological network suitability of protected areas is higher than that of non-protected areas. The mean natural suitability value of square kilometres which contain more than 80% protected territory is 1.34, and the mean natural suitability of those square kilometres which do not include protected areas, is 0.819. The relative amount of protected areas per square kilometre decreases if the natural suitability for the ecological network decreases. Nearly a half (47.4%) of ecologically highly valuable areas in Estonia are under nature protection. On the other hand, it means that more than a half are not protected. We found a great similarity between the suitability map for the ecological network (both with and without including the designated areas) and the expert-made map of the ecological (green) network presented in the work on "Vision for Estonia 2010".

A comprehensive exploration of restriction enzymes and their applications in molecular biology: A review

Restriction enzymes, derived from bacteria, serve as indispensable tools in molecular biology, enabling precise manipulation of DNA with specificity. These enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences, cleaving the DNA strand at those designated sites. Two types, blunt-end cutters, and sticky-end producers, offer distinct advantages and disadvantages. In molecular biology, restriction enzymes find diverse applications, prominently in gene cloning, facilitating the insertion of foreign DNA into host organisms. Additionally, they play a vital role in DNA sequencing, DNA fingerprinting, and other techniques crucial for studying gene function and regulation. A groundbreaking development is witnessed in gene editing, where engineered enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences, allowing scientists to target and modify genes with unprecedented precision. This breakthrough holds the potential to revolutionize medicine, paving the way for treating genetic diseases and creating personalized therapies. Research efforts are focused on discovering new restriction enzymes with novel specificities, expanding the range of manipulable DNA sequences. This opens avenues for innovative applications in synthetic biology and biotechnology, further advancing the field. Despite their numerous applications, challenges persist, including the potential for off-target effects and the quest for enzymes with specific recognition sequences. Ongoing research and development continue to push the boundaries of what is achievable with restriction enzymes. In conclusion, restriction enzymes have significantly impacted molecular biology and biotechnology, facilitating the precise manipulation and study of genetic material. Ongoing research promises to unveil new applications and discoveries in this dynamic and promising field.
An Evaluation of Difficulty in Emotion Regulation, Impulsivity, and Emotional Eating in Children and Adolescents Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate difficulties in emotion regulation, emotional eating, and impulsivity in children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Materials and Methods: The study included 53 children who were diagnosed with T1DM, and a control group of 50 subjects. The Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-age Children—Present and Lifetime Version, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale—Short Form (DERS-16), Emotional Eating Scale-Child and Adolescent Form (EES-C), and the Barratt Impulsivity Scale 11—Short Form (BIS-11) were administered to the participants. Results: In the T1DM group, the disease duration was a mean of 52.7 ± 40.62 months, and only 17% had good metabolic control. The rate of psychiatric disorder determined was significantly higher in the T1DM group (P = .001). No significant difference was determined between the 2 groups in respect of the DERS-16, EES-C, and BIS-11 total and subscale scores. However, in multivariate linear regression, the increase in BIS-11 total score was affected by increasing DERS impulse (β = 0.475), decreasing age (β = −0.209), and presence of T1DM (β = 0.211). An increase in the DERS-16 total score was associated with the presence of psychiatric disorder (β = −0.258) and an increase in BIS-11-A (the second scale assesses concentration problems) (β = 0.317) score. In the T1DM group, the glycated hemoglobin level was lower in the group with insulin treatment with the injection method (8.2 ± 2.1%) than in those with the pump method (9.1 ± 1.5%) (P = .069). Conclusion: It is important that mental health professionals take an active role in all processes of the disease in order to protect the mental health of children with T1DM.
Rami ﬁ cation of work and life integration on exhaustion and work – life balance due to Covid-19 in IT and academic institutions

Purpose – The Covid-19 virus badly affected working patterns in almost every sector. The purpose of this paper is to analytically substantiate how work and life integration impacts the exhaustion and work – life balance among employees of academic institutions and IT companies. Design/methodology/approach – Current study is empirical in nature based on the survey of 500 respondents taken from academic (250) and IT companies (250) from Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesis with the application of the software Smart-PLS. Two surveys were conducted to collect the data separately for academic institutions and IT organizations. Findings – Findings revealed the facts that during Covid-19, the employee ’ s work and life integration affected the work – life balance and exhaustion in academic institutions highly. The relationship was positively signi ﬁ cant. But, for IT employees, it was identi ﬁ ed as non-signi ﬁ cant. Practical implications – The current study highlighted the issues which employees faced during Covid-19 severe spread while managing work and family; how it varied due to the nature of work performed by the employees, for example, academics being more exposed to transformation from of ﬂ ine to complete online mode posed more challenges to teaching staff. This study also disclosed the scenario created and how it was handled in the deadly phase. Social implications – This study presents the social contribution in understanding the importance of work and life balance and problems related to it, especially when everyone everywhere is scared of going out. The study provides insight into how it became dif ﬁ cult for employees to maintain their payroll successfully. Originality/value – The current study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by testing statistically that the integration between work and life is important for work – life balance and prohibiting emotional exhaustion. The current paper extends the theoretical contribution by offering suggestions to companies on why to synchronize positive balance between work and life while keeping boundaries relatively strict between family and work to gain employee well-being and competitive advantages.
