Multisensory design of pocket gardens for reducing stress and improving well-being, performance and satisfaction

Abstract Small (pocket) gardens could benefit persons living and working in modern cities. Yet, the landscape elements specifically responsible for such have not been scientifically defined. We examined isolated effects of specific landscape elements: sound, smell, ground cover, color of blossoms and bench texture; for relaxation, wellness and functionality. An interactive pictorial and vocal internet questionnaire revealed significant preference for birds chirping and fountains, and for the smell of herbal tea mix (N=219). These elements were checked at a visualization lab (a 3-D immersive theatre). Stress was induced by the PASAT test during exposure to 3D pocket garden views, with smell or sound in random order. Functional, physiological (skin sweat and pulse) and subjective measures were assessed (N=20). Although no significant differences were found in physiological and functional measures, our experimental setup appears a promising and innovative approach for defining environmental elements for relaxation and wellness promotion of urban gardens.
Image Scaling and Cropping in Encrypted Domains in 2d Encrypt

The advancement in distributed computing and boost in picture measure are affecting the outsourcing of picture store up and taking care of an appealing business to illustrate. In spite of the way this outsourcing has various purposes of enthusiasm, safeguarding data privacy in the cloud is one among the essential worries. In attendance be there forefront encryption gets ready for ensuring privacy in the cloud. In any case, such strategies will not permit cloud datacenters in performing tasks over scramble pictures. We addressed this issue via suggesting 2DCrypt, a reformed Paillier cryptosystem-based picture scaling and trimming plan aimed at multi-client settings gives permission cloud datacenters for scaling and item a picture inside mixed region. In the direction of presume a tall storing overhead happened as a result of the honest per-pixel encryption, proposed a space-proficient tiling strategy that grants tile-level picture editing and scaling tasks. Basically, as opposed to scrambling each pixel autonomously, we can encode a tile of pixels. The 2DCrypt is to such a degree, to the point that different customers be able to view and/ process photos deprived of partaking at all encryption keys-an essential alluring for utilitarian game plans in certified affiliations. The examination and consequences exhibit that 2DCrypt is IND-CPA secure and gets a commendable overhead. When scaling a 512 * 512 picture by a factor of two, 2DCrypt necessitates a picture client in downloading just about 5 : 3 times a more noteworthy number of data than the un-mixed scaling and necessity to work around 2 : 3 seconds more to get scaled picture in plaintext
A compositive control method of low-voltage ride through for PMSG-based wind turbine generator system

Converting the surplus power into rotor kinetic energy by changing the control functions of machine side converter (MSC) and grid side converter (GSC) is considered to be an efficient way for permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind turbine generator system (WTGS) to accomplish low-voltage ride through (LVRT) without additional hardware components. However, because of the time delay of grid fault detection and the control system inertia, the dc-link capacitor may still be subjected to overvoltage in the early tens of milliseconds after a grid fault happens. This study proposes a compositive control method of LVRT for PMSG-based WTGS, in which the surplus power during LVRT is converted into rotor kinetic energy by controlling the electrical power of the PMSG according to the grid-connected power of the GSC, and a crowbar circuit is reserved to consume the surplus power before MSC reacts to the grid fault. The proposed method does not change the control functions of MSC and GSC, and the related control parameters resetting can be avoid. Besides, it can also provide reactive power support to assist the grid voltage recovery. Simulations and experiments proved the proposed method to be feasible and effective.
Multi atlas-based attenuation correction for brain FDG-PET imaging using a TOF-PET/MR scanner—comparison with clinical single atlas- and CT-based attenuation correction

In this work, we assess the feasibility of attenuation correction (AC) based on a multi atlas-based method (m-Atlas) by comparing it with a clinical AC method (single atlas-based method (s-Atlas)), on a time of flight (TOF)-PET/MRI. Methods: We enrolled 15 patients. The median patient age was 59 years [range 31 to 80]. All patients underwent a clinically indicated whole-body 18 F-FDG-PET/CT (GE Healthcare Discovery 690 PET/CT) for staging, re-staging or follow-up of malignant disease. All patients volunteered for an additional PET/MRI scan of the head (GE Healthcare SIGNA PET/MRI) (no additional tracer being injected). For each patient, 3 AC maps were generated. Both s-Atlas and m-Atlas AC maps were generated from the same patient-specific GE-LAVA-FLEX T1-weighted images, being acquired by default on the PET/MRI scanner during the first 18s of the PET scan. S-Atlas AC map was extracted by the PET/MRI scanner, and m-Atlas AC map was created using a web service tool that automatically generates m-Atlas pseudo-CT images. For comparison, the AC map generated by PET/CT was registered and used as gold standard. Using each AC map, PET images were reconstructed from raw data on the TOF-PET/MRI scanner. All PET images were normalized to the SPM5 PET template, and FDG accumulation was quantified in 67 volumes-of-interest (VOIs; automated anatomical labeling (AAL), atlas). Relative (%diff) and absolute differences (|%diff|) between images based on each atlas AC and CT AC were calculated. FDG uptake in all VOIs and generalized merged VOIs were compared using paired t-test and Bland-Altman test. Results: The range of error on m-Atlas in all 1005 VOIs was -4.99%~4.09%. The |%diff| on m-Atlas was improved by about 20% compared to s-Atlas (s-Atlas vs. m-Atlas; 1.49±1.06% vs. 1.21±0.89%, p < 0.01). In generalized VOIs, %diff on m-Atlas in the temporal lobe and cerebellum were significantly smaller (s-Atlas vs. m-Atlas; temporal lobe, 1.49±1.37% vs. -0.37±1.41%, p < 0.01; cerebellum, 1.55±1.97% vs. -1.15±1.72%, p < 0.01) Conclusion: The errors introduced using either s-Atlas or m-Atlas did not exceed 5% in any brain region investigated. When compared to the clinical s-Atlas, m-Atlas is more accurate especially in regions close to the skull base.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PHOSPHATE SOLUBALIZING BACTERIA AS BIOCONTROL AGENTS

Phosphorus is considered among most vital macro-elements, which is mandatory for successful plant growth. Although it is plentiful in soil both in its organic and inorganic form but its larger fraction is unavailable to plants. Different phosphate solubilizing micro-organisms (PSMs) residing in soils can change the chemical nature of these organic and inorganic phosphate compounds and make them available to plants. Only bacteria are focus of this study which investigates the antifungal potential of these phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB). These These PSB can perform important role in defending plant roots from pathogenic fungi in an environment friendly mode. Hence, help in minimizing the dependence on environmentally harmful and expensive phosphate fertilizers and fungicides. From a plenty of purified PSB isolates only elite strains with higher phosphate solubilization index have been selected for identification and for bio control studies. Alternaria alternate (A. alternate ), Macrophomina phasiolina (M. phasiolina), Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) and Sclerotium rolfsii (S. rolfsii) had been grown simultaneously along with six selected PSB strains including Burkholederia cepacia (B. cepacia), Citrobacter freundii (C. freundii ), Enterobacter aerogenes (E. aerogenes), Klebsiella pneumonia (K. pneumonia), Proteous vulgaris ( P. vulgaris) and Acinetobacter lwoffi (A. lwoffi) . The completely restricted growth of mycelia of these plant pathogenic fungi was observed in the presence of selected bacterial strains which have been found as effective bio control agents. The results of the presented work strongly encourage the need to explore more PSB strains with higher phosphate solubilizing potential and deadly effective against broader range of plant pathogenic fungi.
Lipoproteins and Their Receptors in the Central Nervous System CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LIPOPROTEINS IN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID AND IDENTIFICATION OF APOLIPOPROTEIN B,E(LDL) RECEPTORS IN THE BRAIN*

This study was undertaken to determine if apolipo- protein (apo) E-containing lipoproteins and their receptors could provide a system for lipid transport and cholesterol homeostasis in the brain, as they do in other tissues. To accomplish this goal, the lipoproteins in human and canine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were characterized, and rat brain and monkey brain were examined for the presence of apoB,E(LDL) receptors. Apolipoprotein E and apoA-I were present in human and canine CSF, but apoB could not be detected. Apo- lipoprotein E and apoA-I were both present on lipoproteins with a density of -1.09 to 1.15 g/ml. In human CSF, the lipoproteins were primarily spherical (-140 A), whereas in canine CSF-the lipoproteins wereo a mixture of discs (200 X 65 A) and spheres (-130 A). Apolipoproteins E and A-I were contained primarily in separate populations of lipoproteins. Although the apoE of CSF was more highly sialylated than plasma apoE, the apoE-containing lipoproteins in canine CSF competed as effectively as canine plasma apoE HDL, for binding of “‘I-LDL to the apoB,E(LDL)

The results show that, under the intervention of convergence media, the main motivation of the audience is to release pressure and acquire information; mass entertainment is the most favorite program on convergence media; under the intervention of convergence media, male audience had lower scores than female audience in many dimensions, especially in service enjoyment, entertainment relaxation and novelty seeking; the audience with different academic qualifications differed greatly in saving and convenience, enjoying service and seeking knowledge psychology. The research results promote the management strategy and communication effect of media.
Forward-backward Emission of Target Evaporated Fragments in Nucleus-emulsion Collisions at a few Hundred MeV/nucleon

The multiplicity distribution, multiplicity moment, scaled variance, entropy and reduced entropy of target evaporated fragments emitted in forward and backward hemispheres in 150 AMeV He-AgBr, 290 AMeV C-AgBr, 400 AMeV C-AgBr, 400 AMeV Ne-AgBr and 500 AMeV FeAgBr interactions are investigated. It is found that the multiplicity distribution of target evaporated fragments emitted in both forward and backward hemispheres can be fitted by a Gaussian distribution. The multiplicity moments of target evaporated particles emitted in the forward and backward hemispheres increase with the order of the moment q, and the second-order multiplicity moment is energy independent over the entire energy range for all the interactions in the forward and backward hemisphere. The scaled variance, a direct measure of multiplicity fluctuations, is close to one for all the interactions, which indicate a weak correlation among the target evaporated fragments. The entropy of target evaporated fragments emitted in forward and backward hemispheres are the same respectively for all of the interactions, within experimental errors.
EFFECT OF LEAF EXTRACTS OF TEOSINTE, ZEA DIPLOPERENNIS L., AND A MEXICAN MAIZE VARIETY, CRIOLLO ‘Uruapeño’, ON THE GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF THE FALL ARMYWORM (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE)

The effects of leaf extracts of teosinte, Zea diploperennis L. , and a Mexican maize variety, cri- ollo ‘Uruapeño’, on the growth and survival of the fall armyworm larvae were evaluated under laboratory conditions. Hexane, methanol, and aqueous extractions were made and the extracts and residual ﬁber were separately incorporated into a modiﬁed Poitout & Bues meridic diet. The hexanic and methanolic extracts were concentrated in a rotary evaporator and 30 ml of each were mixed to 20 g of cellulose and then incorporated to a meridic diet. Aqueous leaf extract was not concentrated. Larval cumulative mortality, larval weight, days to pupation, pupae weight, pupae length and width, days to adult emergence were evaluated. The hexanic extract of both plants enhanced most of the FAW growth parameters. Methanolic extract and residual ﬁber of both plants negatively affected the pupae length and width. The aqueous extract caused 100% of larval cumulative mortality. Larvae fed on diets containing residual ﬁber of both plants exhibited antibiotic effects.
Anti-in£ammatory activity of the extracts from mycelia of Antrodia camphorata cultured with water-soluble fractions from ¢ve di¡erent Cinnamomum species

We have previously reported that polysaccharides extracted from fruiting bodies or cultured mycelia of Antrodia camphorata exhibit an anti-hepatitis B virus effect. In this study, we intended to elucidate the anti-inflammatory potency of six mycelial extracts, namely PDB-ext, CK-ext, CM-ext, CO-ext, CC-ext, and CKO-ext, isolated from mycelia of A. camphorata cultured with six different media including potato dextrose broth (PDB) and five water-soluble fractions from the wood of different Cinnamomum species, i.e. C. kanehirae (CK), C. micranthum (CM), C. osmophloeum (CO), C. camphora (CC), and C. kotoense (CKO), against reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by N -formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in peripheral human neutrophils (PMN) or mononuclear cells (MNC). ROS produced by PMN or MNC act as inflammatory mediators and also signal immune responses. Pretreatment with these mycelial extracts (1^50 W g ml 3 1 ) concentration-dependently diminished fMLP- or PMA-induced ROS production in PMN or MNC, as measured by lucigenin-amplified chemiluminescence, with 50% inhibition concentrations (IC 50 ) ranging from 2 to 20 W g ml 3 1 . Among these extracts evaluated, CM-ext, CO-ext, or CKO-ext exhibited higher potency than the others. Using high performance liquid chromatography, we identified two lanostane-type compounds, i.e. dehydrosulfurenic acid and 15 K -acetyl-dehydrosulfurenic acid, which could be involved in the anti-inflammatory actions of these extracts. The anti-inflammatory actions of these extracts were not due to cytotoxic effects. In summary, these data suggest that extracts from cultured mycelia of A. camphorata display anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting ROS production in human leukocytes at a pharmacologically applicable concentration. The biological activities of these extracts were further promoted when the culture medium was replaced with water-soluble fractions isolated from the wood of CM, CO or CKO.
Information Technology Capability and Organizational Agility on a Information Technology Capability and Organizational Agility on a Health Company Health Company

This paper presents a case study relating IT Capability and Organizational Agility within a medical diagnostics company in Brazil. The objective was to identify how IT Capability affects Organizational Agility; therefore, a qualitative approach was adopted. The analysed company is one of the four biggest Brazilian companies in this sector, and it is the youngest of them. The data collection was based on interviews with twelve persons, including IT professionals, business professionals and IT supplier professionals. The relationship between these two concepts was analysed from the perspective of the company’s three main information systems. The sensing dimension of organizational agility has so much information from monitoring systems that the importance of reacting dimension is based more on the effectiveness of the projects than on the time of response. The study shows that IT capability supports the organizational agility on its both dimensions – sensing and reacting – and these are not separated nor unrelated dimensions. The organization responses are highly based on the analysis of the identified problem areas, and they bring insights and create a time advantage that allow the company to spend more time choosing the new projects that should be carried on. The reacting dimension of agility are not about time of response, but about the effectiveness of response.

Results generated by such experiments show that HETEONTO yields superior performance, especially regarding semantic relation.
Consequences of zinc deficiency on zinc localization, taurine transport, and zinc transporters in rat retina

The colocalization of taurine and zinc transporters (TAUT, ZnTs) has not been explored in retina. Our objective is to evaluate the effect of the intracellular zinc chelator N,N,N,N‐tetrakis‐(2‐pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN) on zinc localization and colocalization TAUT and ZnT‐1 (of plasma membrane), 3 (vesicular), and 7 (vesicular and golgi apparatus) in layers of retina by immunohistochemistry. To mark zinc, it was used cell‐permeable fluorescent Zinquin ethyl ester. Specific first and secondary antibodies, conjugated with rhodamine or fluorescein‐isothiocyanate were used to mark TAUT and ZnTs. The fluorescence results were reported as integrated optical density (IOD). Zinc was detected in all layers of the retina. The treatment with TPEN produced changes in the distribution of zinc in layers of retina less in the outer nuclear layer compared with the control. TAUT was detected in all layers of retina and TPEN chelator produced decrease of IOD in all layers of retina except in the photoreceptor compared with the control. ZnT 1, 3, and 7 were distributed in all retina layers, with more intensity in ganglion cell layer (GCL) and in the layers where there is synaptic connection. For all transporters, the treatment with TPEN produced significant decrease of IOD in layers of retina least in the inner nuclear layer for ZnT1, in the photoreceptor for ZnT3 and in the GCL and outer plexiform layer for ZnT7. The distribution of zinc, TAUT, and ZnTs in the layers of retina is indicative of the interaction of taurine and zinc for the function of the retina and normal operation of said layers.
Prediction of potential severe coronavirus disease 2019 patients based on CT radiomics: A retrospective study

Abstract Purpose Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is a recently declared worldwide pandemic. Triaging of patients into severe and non‐severe could further help in targeted management. “Potential severe patients” is a category of patients who did not have severe symptoms at their initial diagnosis, but eventually progressed to be severe patients and are easily overlooked in the early stage. This work aimed to develop and evaluate a CT‐based radiomics signature for the prediction of these potential severe COVID‐19 patients. Methods One hundred fifty COVID‐19 patients were enrolled and randomly divided into cross‐validation and independent test sets. First, their clinical characteristics were screened using the univariate and multivariate logistic regression step by step. Then, radiomics features were extracted from the lesions on their chest CT images. Subsequently, the inter‐ and intra‐class correlation coefficients (ICC) analysis, minimum‐redundancy maximum‐relevance (mRMR) selection, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm were used step by step for feature selection and construction of a radiomics signature. Finally, the screened clinical risk factors and constructed radiomics signature were combined for the combined model and Radiomics+Clinics nomogram construction. The predictive performance of the Radiomics and Combined models were evaluated and compared using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, Hosmer–Lemeshow test and Delong test. Results Clinical characteristics analysis resulted in the screening of five clinical risk factors. The combination of ICC, mRMR, and LASSO methods resulted in the selection of ten radiomics features, which made up of the radiomics signature. The differences in the radiomics signature between the potential severe and non‐severe groups in cross‐validation set and test sets were both p < 0.001. All Radiomics and Combined models showed a very good predictive performance with the accuracy and AUC of nearly or above 0.9. Additionally, we found no significant difference in the predictive performance between these two models. Conclusions A CT‐based radiomics signature for the prediction of potential severe COVID‐19 patients was constructed and evaluated. Constructed Radiomics and Combined model showed good feasibility and accuracy. The Radiomics+Clinical nomogram, acted as a useful tool, may assist clinicians to better identify potential severe cases to target their management in the COVID‐19 pandemic prevention and control.
