Where to go to take what prey? Range use, habitat selection and prey capture in Tengmalm's owl (Aegolius funereus) males as revealed by simultaneous radio tracking and video surveillance at the nest

The home range use and habitat selection of four providing male Tengmalm’s owls (Aegolius funereus) were studied by using radio telemetry, and simultaneously recording prey deliveries by a video camera positioned inside the nest box of each nest. The camera allowed prey identification and made it possible to assign prey deliveries to locations in the field, i.e, the last observation fix before a delivery. 100% MCP home ranges averaged 219.4 ha, whereas 95% kernel home ranges had a mean size of 310 ha, and decreased with increasing proportion of high productivity areas in the home range. Owls did not shift hunting areas from one night to the next, but rather changed it gradually over time. Habitat selection was estimated by calculating the distance from each observation fix (N=458) and from each random plot (N=480) to the nearest patch of each habitat class, and testing for differences using logistic regression. The owls showed a particularly strong selection for hunting in forest age class I (clear-cuts and plantations), which is the primary habitat of their main prey, Microtus voles. They hunted closer to areas of medium and high productivity, and farther from areas of low productivity and impediment than expected by random. This may be related to abundance and availability of prey animals which select areas of dense vegetative cover. Bogs did not seem to be selected, but due to the low proportion in two of the nests, the results were inconclusive. Male owls both hunted and captured prey closer to the nest than expected by random. Additionally, prey captures were located closer to high productivity and farther from areas of impediment than expected by random. Shrews were captured closer to areas of high productivity than expected by random, which is in accordance with other findings that suggest that the density of shrews increases with productivity. Shrews seemed to be excluded from certain habitats by Microtus voles because captures of shrews were located farther from forest age class I than captures of Microtus voles. Although the profitability of transporting prey items back to the nest in theory is related to prey size and distance from the nest, the larger Microtus voles were not transported to the nest from longer distances than the smaller shrews. An owl returned to the area where it captured the last prey more often than expected by random. Thus, the owls utilized a win-stay strategy. The present study is the first to combine radio tracking and video monitoring to determine habitat specific prey capture in Tengmalm’s owl and highlight the importance of habitat productivity for hunting owls.
OPTH_A_285966 57..63

The Eye Surgery Hastings, Hastings, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand Purpose: To report the results of a scheme sharing follow-up glaucoma consultations between community optometrists and secondary care in a hospital ophthalmic clinic. Patients and Methods: Optometrists measured intraocular pressure (IOP) with Goldmann Tonometry, graded the optic disc with the Disc Damage Likelihood Score (DDLS) and graded visual field tests with the enhanced Glaucoma Staging Score (eGSS). A scoring system from these tests was applied, and patients were either seen routinely 6 months later within the scheme or returned non-routinely to secondary care. Appointments within the scheme were 6-monthly with the pattern of three community optometrist visits then one hospital clinic visit. Results: Community optometrists conducted 529 appointments for 285 patients. A total of 114 patients were seen after non-routine return to secondary care, with 61 true positives (53.5%) and 53 false positives (46.5%). Forty-one patients (14.4%) developed glaucoma progression, and 18 patients (6.3%) developed new non-glaucomatous ophthalmic diseases. Fifty-two patients were seen at 2 years after the routine return to secondary care, and three had glaucoma progression, with scheme specificity of 94.2%. The overall false-positive returns to secondary care from eGSS alone was 7.4%, and from the DDLS was 0.01%. Conclusion: The DDLS and eGSS performed well for this population and would be recommended for use in shared care schemes, and the scoring scheme fulfilled its clinical and clerical purposes. Secondary care appointments are recommended in shared care schemes to manage the expected comorbidities and glaucoma progression, and prevent sight loss from false negatives.

In this paper, we present the applications where 4G LTE are used with the architecture of IoT which makes it possible to take advantage of these technologies in transforming industries for IoT applications.
The Impacts of Embeddedness on Competitiveness in Technology Standard-Setting Alliance: From the Perspective of Partner Types and Relations

Based on the new economic sociology theory-embeddin g theory, this paper analyzes the embedded arrangements among the techno logy standard-setting alliance’ partners, as well as the influence of embedded arra ngements on the competitiveness of alliance. First of all, it divides the embeddedness into structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness, and divides the competitiv eness of technology standard-setting alliance into technical ability and market ability; Then, this paper probes into the influence of two kinds of embedded arrangements on two kinds of competitiveness, and puts forward the research hypothesis; Finally, it t akes verified analysis to the proposed hypothesis using the case of IGRS alliance. There a re two new founding. (1) On the relational embeddedness mechanism, from the perspec tive of partner relations, it needs to build strong ties between partners when the enhance ment of alliance technology ability depends on the sharing of tacit technologies betwee n partners. Conversely, weak ties are feasible when partners share explicit technologies. From the perspective of partner types, core R&D enterprises should maintain strong ties wi th large and important manufacturers, and maintain weak ties with small manufacturers and minor technology supporting enterprises. (2) On the structural embeddedness mec hanism, it is beneficial to improve the capability of alliance competitiveness, if inte rm diary organizations participate in standard-setting alliance.

Prediction of Overweight/Obesity by Anthropometric Indices in Male Students

Purpose: Anthropometric indices such as body mass index, Waist Circumference (WC), Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR), and Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) are used to identify adolescent obesity and overweight because of their easiness, safety, and accuracy of measurement. This study aimed to evaluate the anthropometric indices in predicting overweight/obesity in male students. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 162 male students of Hakim Sabzevari University, Sabzevar City, Iran, were selected by a simple stratified-random sampling method. The checkerboard and New York test were used to check for musculoskeletal abnormalities. Body composition indices, including height, weight, body mass index, WC, hip circumference, WHR, and WHtR, were measured. The obtained data were analyzed by ANOVA test and Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC). Results: Mean values WC, WHR, the WHtR in different groups of body mass index were significantly different. The area under the curve for WC (P=0.001), WHR (P=0.001), and WHtR (P=0.001) had a significant difference, too. Conclusion: The present study showed that the area under the curve for WHR has better detective ability for overweight and obesity than other variables such as WC and WHtR.
Simulated Annealing Utilization for Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces

In this paper, we first formulate the path loss model of an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) in terms of IRS reflection coefficients, then adopt a simulated annealing algorithm to determine a global maximum point of the path loss. Consequently, we can improve the performance of IRS-assisted communication system by avoiding such position deviations in practice. Simulation results show that an optimal solution can be achieved by implementing the proposed algorithm.
GLUCOSINOLATE HYDROLYSIS PRODUCTS (GHP) FROM BROCCOLI IN ALTERING THE EXPRESSION LEVELS OF VEGF AND HUR REGULATING CELL PROLIFERATION AMONG A549 CELL LINES

Many studies have reported that loads of phytochemicals present in Broccoli extract (cruciferous) could prevent many cancertypes and also found that these extracts could kill the cancer cells alone without harming the healthy ones. The aim of this context was to screen for the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of purified Benzylglucosinolate (BG) from broccoli plant parts in human lung cancer cell line (A549). The cancer cell lines were treated with both crude and purified BG and evaluated for the cytotoxicity and cell cycle analysis. Real time expression studies were also planned to evaluate the expression of gene members like HuR and VEGA-A under the treatment. According to the in vitro assays done, we could confirm the cytotoxic effect of the purified BG. Cell viability was found to 15.67% for BG when compared to Cisplatin (8.56%) at 100μg/ml (P < 0.05). HuR and VEGA-A were found to be downregulated by 30 and 60 times respectively and are found to be in cooperative role. The BG could arrest 42.86 cells at G2M phase when compared to positive control (48.38%). The percentage of apoptotic cells were also found to be as low as 12.32±3.24 (10μg/ml) to 65±3.92 (100μg/ml) and were found to be dose dependant.

Smart agricultural monitoring using IOT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of smart sensors that can be used to control and monitor objects from anywhere on the Internet. This sophisticated method can be utilized to boost modern farming's production and quality. As a result, the goal of this study was to offer a novel smart farming application based on the Internet of Things. In this study, a smart agricultural prototype was created to assess the humidity in paddy bags placed in various locations across a farm. The NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller and the DHT11 temperature and humidity, MQ135 sensor, Soil moisture sensor, and LDR sensor were used to communicate data to the Blynk server through a Wi-Fi network in this smart capsule. The Dc water pump, exhaust fan, cooling fan, and LED bulb are also some appliances that are also connected can be controlled manually or automatically based on the data collected from the sensors. The Arduino IDE was being used to write the microcontroller's C++ code. The cloud-based dashboard was used to monitor and display real-time humidity data using the Blynk mobile application. The humidity data was examined further and used to create a paddy storage system for the future. Furthermore, when the smart capsule lost contact with the Blynk server, a fast notification was issued to the appropriate parties. As per the results, the developed smart farming and Blynk application can work together efficiently and are suitable for use in smart farming.
The pattern of Electrophysiological Abnormality in Long-Standing Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: Experience at Referral Neurology Hospital in Bangladesh

Background: Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are the most objective measure of nerve function, and their use is recommended in the clinical and epidemiological evaluation of diabetic polyneuropathy. Objective: This study was conducted to describe the pattern of electrophysiological abnormality in long-standing type-2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Neurophysiology at the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2017 to June 2019. Among the one hundred and eight consecutive patients of type 2 diabetes with a duration of more than 10 years attending the Neurophysiology laboratory, patients were selected for the study based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. NCS study of the right upper limb (median and ulnar nerves) and left lower limbs (tibial, peroneal, and sural nerves) were done. NCS of other nerves were also done when indicated. Result: A total number of 92 patients were recruited for this study. NCS was abnormal in 56 (60.9%) patients. 43.5% (n=40) patients were male and 56.5% (n=52) patient were female. Among the 56 (60.9%) patients with abnormal NCS, most [35 (38%)] had mixed types (both sensory and motor) of neuropathy. In 28 (30.4%) patients, both demyelination and axonal involvement were present. The median nerve (46.7%) was the commonest nerve to be involved followed by the Sural nerve. In patients with elevated HbA1C, the axonal loss was more pronounced in the lower limbs’ nerves. Polyneuropathy (28.26%) was more than mononeuropathy (21.74%). Conclusion: Most of the patients of type 2 long-standing DM developed a mixed type of polyneuropathy and elevated HbA1C was significantly associated with the axonal involvement predominantly in lower limbs’ nerves.

Microgels Derived from Different Forms of Carrageenans, Kappa, Iota, and Lambda for Biomedical Applications

Kappa (κ-), iota (ι-), and lambda (λ-) Carrageenan (Car) microparticles were synthesized by crosslinking corresponding natural polymers with divinyl sulfone (DVS) via microemulsion polymerization/crosslinking methods for potential biomedical applications. Negatively charged e.g., −44 mV of Car particles were modified with diethylenetriamine (DETA) to generate positively charged modified (M-) κ-Car particles with +23 mV zeta potential values. Cationic M-Car-DETA particles were found to be effectively antimicrobial material against gram negative bacteria, and some fungi species. Moreover, upon protonation of M-Car-DETA particles with HCl the effectiveness against all types of microorganisms are significantly increased. All types of Car based particles can be applicable for blood contacting material as low hemolysis ratio, 2.56% and high blood clotting capability, 86% were obtained. Furthermore, Car based particles found biocompatible against L929 fibroblast cells, and can induce necrotic cell death at 12.5 µg/mL concentration against DLD-1 colon cancer cells. M-κ-Car-DETA particles were also demonstrated to be useful rending long term and linear drug release profiles using Rosmarinic Acid (RA) as a model drug.
Analysis of mixture structure and of its influence on combustion in a CAI engine

Homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion mode theoretically relies on a perfectly homogeneous air/fuel mixture simultaneously releasing heat across the whole combustion chamber. However, practical implementation always leads to a staged combustion process that is still significantly quicker than conventional spark ignition or compression ignition combustion modes. The degree of combustion staging is central to the limitation of combustion-induced noise, to cycle efficiency, as well as to combustion stability and completion. The present study numerically explored on the whole operating map the mixture structure at ignition for a specific type of homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion, namely the controlled auto-ignition combustion mode attained through burnt gas trapping with negative valve overlap. The analysis of the complete controlled auto-ignition operating map outlined the similarity of mixture structure for any operating condition and the mixture/chemistry interactions depending on the end-of-compression temperature domain. Temperature stratification appeared as the key input defining combustion-induced noise and combustion stability but mean in-cylinder temperature and dilution combine with temperature stratification to define operating map limitations.

GHC: G: Deep Reinforcement Learning for Heterogeneous Relational Reasoning in Knowledge Graphs

Relational reasoning over knowledge graphs has become increasingly popular due to a variety of downstream applications such as question answering in dialogue systems, fact prediction, and recommendation systems. In recent years, reinforcement learning (RL) based solutions for knowledge graphs have been demonstrated to be more interpretable and explainable than other deep learning models. However, the current RL solutions still struggle with performance issues due to incomplete state representations and large action spaces for the RL agent. We address these problems by developing HRRL (Heterogeneous Relational reasoning with Reinforcement Learning), a type-enhanced RL agent that utilizes the local heterogeneous neighborhood information for efficient reasoning over knowledge graphs. HRRL improves the state representation using a graph neural network (GNN) for encoding the neighborhood information and utilizes entity type information for pruning the action space. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets show that HRRL outperforms state-of-the-art RL meth-ods and discovers more novel paths during the training procedure, demonstrating the explorative power of our method.
Glaucomatous Progression after Laser Peripheral Iridotomy in Eyes with Different Angle-closure Mechanisms: a Longitudinal Study

Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Compared with primary open angle glaucoma, PACG is associated with an approximately 3-fold higher risk of severe visual impairment. The primary pathogenic mechanism of PACG is angle closure, in which the peripheral iris is in contact with the trabecular meshwork, resulting in secondary elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP). In eyes with chronic asymptomatic PACG, the peripheral iris slowly or intermittently covers the trabecular meshwork, resulting in the gradual elevation of IOP over a long period of time. Therefore, the natural course of asymptomatic PACG is clinically silent, in contrast to acute angle-closure attack. Similar to other forms of glaucoma, however, asymptomatic PACG can lead to glaucomatous optic nerve damage and visual field (VF) defects. The International Society of Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology (ISGEO) classifies primary angle-closure sus서로 다른 폐쇄각 발병기전을 가진 안에서 레이저홍채절개술 후 녹내장 진행: 전향적 연구
