Consideration of the Relationship Between Correction Parameters and Driving Situations for a Vehicle Driving Model that is Robust Against Road Shape and Environmental Disturbances

We have proposed a vehicle driving model that is robust against road geometry and environmental disturbances. Our proposal model is based on a two-wheeled model, the error in the position and azimuth angle of the center of gravity point that occurs in two-wheeled model is expressed by the deviation between the front wheel steering angle (lateral direction) and the velocity (longitudinal direction), and this deviation is estimated adaptively using a three-layer Neural Network. We are considering applying this proposed method to a real system (Electric senior cart). In order to design a control system using this vehicle driving model in an actual system, it is necessary to have a specification that shows the relationship between the correction parameters in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction. Therefore, in this study, in order to clarify the relationship between these correction parameters and speed/wheel steering angle, we drive a vehicle in a steady circular turn on vehicle motion analysis software CarSim.
Métodos de simulación numérica aplicados a la inyección y almacenamiento de CO2 en formaciones salinas

espanolUna de las medidas de mitigacion del Cambio Climatico propuestas al amparo de la ONU por el IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) en su “Informe de Sintesis 2007” consiste en la puesta en marcha de aplicaciones para la captacion y almacenamiento de dioxido de carbono, existiendo tres tipos de formaciones geologicas idoneas para el almacenamiento geologico de este gas: yacimientos agotados de petro- leo y gas, capas de carbon no explotables y formaciones salinas profundas. En el caso de las formaciones salinas profundas, el problema fundamental para llevar a cabo un estudio de almacenamiento de CO2, reside en la dificultad de obtencion de datos geologicos del subsuelo en una cierta estructura seleccionada cuyas caracteristicas pueden ser a priori idoneas para la inyeccion y almacenamiento del gas. Por este motivo, la solucion para poder analizar la viabilidad de un proyecto de almacenamiento en una estructura geologica pasa por la simulacion numerica a partir de la modelizacion 3D del terreno. Los metodos numericos permiten simular la inyeccion de dioxido de carbono en una formacion salina a partir de un pozo desde el que se inyecta el gas con un caudal determinado. En este trabajo se presenta una metodologia para abordar la modelizacion y simulacion de procesos de inyeccion de CO2 en acuiferos salinos profundos. EnglishOne of the Climate Change mitigation proposals suggested by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) in its “Synthesis Report 2007” involves the launch of applications for capturing and storing carbon dioxide, existing three different geological structures suitable for gas storage: oil and gas depleted reservoirs, useless coal layers and deep saline structures. In case of deep saline structures, the main problem to prepare a study of CO2 storage is the difficulty of obtaining geological data for some selected structure with characteristics that could be suitable for injection and gas storage. According to this situation, the solution to analyze the feasibility of a storage project in a geological structure will need numerical simulation from a 3D terrain model. Numerical methods allow the simulation of the carbon dioxide filling in saline structures from a well, used to inject gas with a particular flow. This paper presents a methodology to address the modeling and simulation process of CO2 injection into deep saline aquifers.
Do neutrophil extracellular traps implicate in atheromatous plaques from carotid endarterectomy? Re-analyzes of cDNA microarray data by surgeons

Background Carotid artery stenosis is the cause of 15% of strokes. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) are believed to be involved in thrombosis. This pilot study described the differential expression profile of NETs between atheromatous plaques and surrounding tissues. Methods Microarray datasets of carotid plaques were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus. The normalized data were processed into comma-separated value matrix files using spreadsheet software. Analyzes of microarray data were conducted using integrated differential expression and pathway analysis. Result The clustering results illustrated that the classifications of plaque and control had reasonable biological validity. Pathway analysis revealed the relevance of immune response, cell signaling, and other pathways. Differentially expressed genes were detected between carotid plaques and control specimens. However, enrichment analyzes did not reveal a difference in PAD4 expression between the groups and that NET implication was only found in one cDNA microarray dataset. Discussion This pilot study does not necessarily dismiss the possibility of a relationship between NETs and atherothrombotic stroke. Gene expression could differ between endothelial cells and atheromas, and further studies are needed.
Eﬀiciency modeling and exploration of 64-bit ARM compute nodes for exascale

This paper investigates the use of 64-bit ARM cores to improve the processing efﬁciency of upcoming HPC systems. It describes a set of available tools, models and platforms, and their combination in an efﬁcient methodology for the design space exploration of large manycore computing clusters. Experimentations and results using representative benchmarks allow to set an exploration approach to evaluate essential design options at micro-architectural level while scaling with a large number of cores. We then apply this methodology to examine the validity of SoC partitioning as an alternative to using large SoC designs based on coherent multi-SoC models and the proposed SoC Coherent Interconnect (SCI).
One year of treating patients with open fractures of the lower extremity in a new military trauma center in Korea: a case series

Purpose: The Armed Forces Trauma Center of Korea was established in April 2022. This study was conducted to report our 1-year experience of treating soldiers with open fractures of the lower extremity. Methods: In this case series, we reviewed the medical records of 51 Korean soldiers with open fractures of the lower extremity between April 2022 and March 2023 at a trauma center. We analyzed patients with Gustilo-Anderson type II and III fractures and reported the duration of transportation, injury mechanisms, injured sites, and associated injuries. We also presented laboratory findings, surgery types, intensive care unit stays, hospital stays, rehabilitation results, and reasons for psychiatric consultation. Additionally, we described patients’ mode of transport. Results: This study enrolled nine male patients who were between 21 and 26 years old. Six patients had type II and three had type III fractures. Transport from the accident scene to the emergency room ranged from 75 to 455 minutes, and from the emergency room to the operating room ranged from 35 to 200 minutes. Injury mechanisms included gunshot wounds, landmine explosions, gre-nade explosions, and entrapment by ship mooring ropes. One case had serious associated injuries (inhalation burn, open facial bone fractures, and hemopneumothorax). No cases with serious blood loss or coagulopathies were found, but most cases had a significant elevation of creatinine kinase. Two patients underwent vascular reconstruction, whereas four patients received flap surgery. After rehabilitation, six patients could walk, one patient could move their joints actively, and two patients performed active assistive movement. Eight patients were referred to the psychiatry department due to suicidal attempts and posttraumatic stress disorder. Conclusions: This study provides insights into how to improve treatment for patients with military trauma, as well as medical services such as the transport system, by revising treatment protocols and systematizing treatment.
A dynamic model of wind turbine yaw for active farm control

This paper presents a graph‐based dynamic yaw model to predict the dynamic response of the hub‐height velocities and the power of a wind farm to a change in yaw. The model builds on previous work where the turbines define the nodes of the graph and the edges represent the interactions between turbines. Advances associated with the dynamic yaw model include a novel analytical description of the deformation of wind turbine wakes under yaw to represent the velocity deficits and a more accurate representation of the interturbine travel time of wakes. The accuracy of the model is improved by coupling it with time‐ and space‐dependent estimates of the wind farm inflow based on real‐time data from the wind farm. The model is validated both statically and dynamically using large‐eddy simulations. An application of the model is presented that incorporates the model into an optimal control loop to control the farm power output.
Integrative Lighting Aimed at Patients with Psychiatric and Neurological Disorders

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of circadian lighting-induced melatonin suppression on patients with psychiatric and neurological disorders in hospital wards by using an ad-hoc metrology framework and the subsequent metrics formalized by the CIE in 2018. A measurement scheme was conducted in hospital ward rooms in the Department of Neurology, Zealand University Hospital, at Roskilde in Denmark, to evaluate the photometric and colorimetric characteristics of the lighting system, as well as its influence on the circadian rhythm of the occupants. The measurement scheme included point measurements and data logging, using a spectrophotometer mounted on a tripod with adjustable height to assess the newly installed circadian lighting system. The measured spectra were uploaded to the Luox platform to calculate illuminance, CCT, MEDI, etc., in accordance with the CIE S026 standard. Furthermore, the MLIT based on MEDI data logging results was calculated. In addition to CIE S026, we have investigated the usefulness of melatonin suppression models for the assessment of circadian performance regarding measured light. From the results, the lighting conditions in the patient room for both minimal and abundant daylight access were evaluated and compared; we found that access to daylight is essential for both illumination and circadian entrainment. It can be concluded that the measurement scheme, together with the use of the Luox platform and Canva template, is suitable for the accurate and satisfactory measurement of integrative lighting that aligns with CIE requirements and recommendations.

Future directions in ventilator-induced lung injury associated cognitive impairment: a new sight

Mechanical ventilation is a widely used short-term life support technique, but an accompanying adverse consequence can be pulmonary damage which is called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Mechanical ventilation can potentially affect the central nervous system and lead to long-term cognitive impairment. In recent years, many studies revealed that VILI, as a common lung injury, may be involved in the central pathogenesis of cognitive impairment by inducing hypoxia, inflammation, and changes in neural pathways. In addition, VILI has received attention in affecting the treatment of cognitive impairment and provides new insights into individualized therapy. The combination of lung protective ventilation and drug therapy can overcome the inevitable problems of poor prognosis from a new perspective. In this review, we summarized VILI and non-VILI factors as risk factors for cognitive impairment and concluded the latest mechanisms. Moreover, we retrospectively explored the role of improving VILI in cognitive impairment treatment. This work contributes to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of VILI-induced cognitive impairment and may provide future direction for the treatment and prognosis of cognitive impairment.
A new approach of point cloud processing and scene segmentation for guiding the visually impaired

Point clouds of 3D scenes are widely applied in guiding the visually impaired by precious research. Many auxiliary systems for the visually impaired are integrated with RGB-D sensors such as Kinect and binocular cameras, which are able to acquire depth pictures and 3D point clouds. Real-time location of objects is adjusted to the world coordinate system through utilization of attitude angle transducers. This paper proposed a novel approach of scene segmentation based on the estimation of normal vectors of a point cloud. Multiplying a point cloud's normal vectors in two directions helps to eliminate correlation in different directions. It is used to split a stereo scene into several surfaces such as ground, walls and slopes. The method is faster and can obtain more separated results than RANSAC algorithm. Besides, three ways to evaluate surface smoothness are compared, including inconsistent degree of normal vectors, variance of depths and difference between normal vectors of two sizes of adjacent regions. Experimental results attained from indoor and outdoor circumstances are presented to validate the approach. It is demonstrated that the proposed method can be efficiently applied into scene segmentation and guiding the visually impaired.
Long-Term Survival of Cellulose Sulphate-Encapsulated Cells and Metronomic Ifosfamide Control Tumour Growth in Pancreatic Cancer Models—A Prelude to Treating Solid Tumours Effectively in Pets and Humans

Background: The use of encapsulated cells for the in vivo delivery of biotherapeutics is a promising new technology to potentiate the effectiveness of cell-based therapies for veterinary and human application. One use of the technology is to locally activate chemotherapeutics to their short-lived highly active forms. We have previously shown that a stable clone of HEK293 cells overexpressing a cytochrome P450 enzyme that has been encapsulated in immunoprotective cellulose sulphate beads can be implanted near solid tumours in order to activate oxazaphosphorines such as ifosfamide and cyclophosphamide to the tumour-killing metabolite phosphoramide mustard. The efficacy of this approach has been shown in animal models as well as in human and canine clinical trials. In these previous studies, the oxazaphosphorine was only given twice. An analysis of the Kaplan–Meier plots of the results of the clinical trials suggest that repeated dosing might result in a significant clinical benefit. Aims: In this study, we aimed to (i) demonstrate the stable long-term expression of cytochrome P450 from a characterized, transfected cell clone, as well as (ii) demonstrate that one implanted dose of these encapsulated cytochrome P450-expressing cells is capable of activating multiple doses of ifosfamide in animal models. Methodology: We initially used cell and molecular methods to show cell line stability over multiple passages, as well as chemical and biological function in vitro. This was followed by a demonstration that encapsulated HEK293 cells are capable of activating multiple doses of ifosfamide in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer without being killed by the chemotherapeutic. Conclusion: A single injection of encapsulated HEK293 cells followed by multiple rounds of ifosfamide administration results in repeated anti-tumour activity and halts tumour growth but, in the absence of a functioning immune system, does not cause tumour regression.

The study on the impact of sex on the structure of gut microbiota of bamboo rats in China

Introduction Bamboo rats are rodents that eat bamboo, and their robust capacity for bamboo digestion is directly correlated with their gut flora. Chinese bamboo rat (Rhizomys sinensis) is a common bamboo rat in Chinese central and southern regions. As a single-stomach mammal, bamboo rats are a famous specificity bamboo-eating animal and their intestinal microbial composition may also play a key role in the digestion of cellulose and lignin. So, the gut microbiota of bamboo rat may play an important role in the adaptation of bamboo rats for digesting lignocellulose-based diet. Methods To study the microbiome differences of bamboo rats from different sexes, the microbial genomic DNA was extracted from each fecal sample and the V4 region of 16S rRNA genes was amplified and sequencing on an IlluminaHiSeq6000 platform. The operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were classified, the OTUs in different sexes was identified and compared at phylum and genus levels. For isolation and screening of cellulose degradation bacteria from bamboo rats, fresh feces from randomly selected bamboo rats were collected and used for the isolation and screening of cellulose degradation bacteria using Luria Bertani (LB) Agar medium containing Carboxymethyl cellulose. The cellulase activity, biochemical characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the purified bacteria strains were characterized. Results and discussion A total of 3,833 OTUs were classified. The total microbial diversity detected in the female and male rats was 3,049 OTUs and 3,452 OTUs, respectively. The Shannon index revealed significant differences between the two groups (p < 0.05), though they were all captive and had the same feeding conditions. At the phylum level, Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, and Proteobacteria were prominent in the microbial community. At the genus level, the microbial community was dominated by Lachnospiraceae, Lactobacillus, Bacteroides, and Prevotella, but there was a significant difference between the two groups of bamboo rats; ~90 bacteria genus in the female group was significantly higher than the male group. Among them, Bacteroides, Colidextribacter, and Oscillibacter were significantly higher genera, and the genera of Lachnoclostridium, Oscillibacter, and Papillibacter had the highest FC value among the male and female bamboo rats. The KEGG function annotation and different pathways analysis revealed that membrane transport, carbohydrate metabolism, and amino acid metabolism were the most enriched metabolic pathways in the two groups, and multiple sugar transport system permease protein (K02025 and K02026), RNA polymerase sigma-70 factor (K03088), and ATP-binding cassette (K06147) were the three different KEGG pathways (p < 0.05). Two cellulose degradation bacteria strains—Bacillus subtilis and Enterococcus faecalis—were isolated and characterized from the feces of bamboo rats.

Furthermore, this economic impact is increased by the expenditure undertaken by the organizers themselves to carry out the summer courses (input - output methodology is used). Finally, we conclude that these summer courses play a significant role in revitalizing tourism in the city that hosts the Summer University.
Effect of Vibration-induced Degradation in High-Speed Backplane Connectors on Digital Signal Transmission

As data transmission rates continue to increase, high-speed backplane connectors are seeing much more usage in digital communication systems. Of specific interest in this current work, the effect of vibration-induced degradation for high-speed backplane connectors on differential signal transmission was evaluated by simulation modeling and experimental measurements. Both a three dimensional (3D) electromagnetic field model and a circuit model of high-speed data transmission system were developed to analyze the transmission characteristics of high-speed channels, which consist of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and backplane connectors. In addition, a series of accelerated vibration experiments were conducted to obtain connector samples with various degradation levels, the high frequency performance of which were measured and studied.
