A Vision-Based System for Inspection of Expansion Joints in Concrete Pavement
Authors: Eldor Ibragimov , Lee Jong-Jae , Gil Heungbae , Lee Jung Hee
Published: May 2023

The appropriate maintenance of highway roads is critical for the safe operation of road networks and conserves maintenance costs. Multiple methods have been developed to investigate the surface of roads for various types of cracks and potholes, among other damage. Like road surface damage, the condition of expansion joints in concrete pavement is important to avoid unexpected hazardous situations. Thus, in this study, a new system is proposed for autonomous expansion joint monitoring using a vision-based system. The system consists of the following three key parts: (1) a camera-mounted vehicle, (2) indication marks on the expansion joints, and (3) a deep learning-based automatic evaluation algorithm. With paired marks indicating the expansion joints in a concrete pavement, they can be automatically detected. An inspection vehicle is equipped with an action camera that acquires images of the expansion joints in the road. You Only Look Once (YOLO) automatically detects the expansion joints with indication marks, which has a performance accuracy of 95%. The width of the detected expansion joint is calculated using an image processing algorithm. Based on the calculated width, the expansion joint is classified into the following two types: normal and dangerous. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed system is very efficient in terms of speed and accuracy.

Authors: Kozicka Katarzyna , Žukovskis Jan , Wójcik-Gront Elżbieta
Published: May 2023

Methane (CH4) emissions from agricultural sources make a significant contribution to the total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. According to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for calculating greenhouse gas emissions, agriculture is responsible for approximately 10% of total CH4 emissions from anthropogenic sources. CH4 is mainly emitted from livestock farming, especially from cattle production during enteric fermentation and from manure. The article describes the results of multivariate statistical analyzes carried out on data collected in 1961–2020 based on the data for 30 countries with the largest cattle population. The trends of temporal changes in cattle population were evaluated and groups of countries with similar patterns in the study period were distinguished. Variables which are correlated with changes in the number of cattle were indicated. Forecasts of cattle population and CH4 emission related to cattle for the coming years are presented.

Abstract: This study aimed to compare the effcacy of robot-assisted and manual cannula insertion in simulated big-bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Novice surgeons with no prior experience in performing DALK were trained to perform the procedure using manual or robot-assisted techniques. The results showed that both methods could generate an airtight tunnel in the porcine cornea, and result in successful generation of a deep stromal demarcation plane representing suffcient depth reached for big-bubble generation in most cases. However, the combination of intraoperative OCT and robotic assistance received a signifcant increase in the depth of achieved detachment in non-perforated cases, comprising a mean of 89% as opposed to 85% of the cornea in manual trials. This research suggests that robot-assisted DALK may offer certain advantages over manual techniques, particularly when used in conjunction with intraoperative OCT.
Non-Face-to-Face P2P (peer-to-peer) Real-time Token Payment Blockchain System
Authors: Ko Hyug-Jun , Han Seong-Soo
Published: May 2023

With the increase of intelligent voice phishing and the increasing reliance on open banking systems, there has been a rise in cases where individuals' personal information has been exposed, resulting in significant financial losses for the victims. Non-face-to-face transactions in the financial sector face challenges such as customer identification, ensuring transaction integrity, and preventing transaction rejection. Blockchain-based distributed ledgers have been proposed as a solution, but their adoption is limited due to the difficulty of managing private keys and the burden of gas fees management. This paper proposes a non-face-to-face P2P real-time token payment system that minimizes the risk of key loss by storing private keys in a keystore file and database through a server-based key management module. The proposed system simplifies token creation and management through a server-based token management module and implements an automatic gas charging function for smooth token transactions. Transaction integrity and non-repudiation are ensured through a transaction confirmation module that uses transaction IDs without exposing personal information. Furthermore, advanced security measures such as blocking foreign IP access and DDoS defense are implemented to securely protect user data. The proposed system aims to provide a convenient, secure, and accessible online payment solution to the public by implementing a self-authentication function using a web application that is not limited to smart phones or application platforms.

Published: May 2023

MCrAlYHf bond coats are employed in jet and aircraft engines, stationary gas turbines, and power plants, which require strong resistance to oxidation at high temperatures. The oxidation behavior of a free-standing CoNiCrAlYHf coating was investigated in this study. Isothermal oxidation tests were performed in air at 1050 °C on the specimens with various levels of surface roughness to investigate the oxidation kinetics. X-ray diffraction, focused ion beam, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and scanning transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the surface oxides. The surface roughness was examined using a contact profilometer and SEM. An empirical model was proposed to elucidate the impact of surface roughness on the oxidation behavior based on the correlation between the surface roughness level and oxidation rates.
A New Approach Combining a Multilayer Radiative Transfer Model with an Individual Based Forest Model: Application to Boreal Forests in Finland
Authors: Henniger Hans , Bohn Friedrich J , Huth Andreas
Published: May 2023

To understand forest dynamics under today’s changing environmental conditions, it is important to analyze the state of forests at large scales. Forest inventories are not available for all regions, so it is important to use other additional sources of information, e.g. remote sensing observations. Increasingly, remotely sensed data based on optical instruments and airborne LIDAR are becoming widely available for forests. There is great potential in analyzing these measurements and gaining an understanding of forests state. In this work, we combine the new generation radiative transfer model mScope with the individual-based forest model FORMIND to generate reflectance spectra for forests. Combining the two models allows us to account for species diversity at different height layers in the forest. We compare the generated reflectances for forest stands in Finland, in the region of North Karelia, with Sentinel-2 measurements. We investigate which level of forest representation gives the best results. For the majority of the forest stands, we generated good reflectances with all levels forest representation compared to the measured reflectance. Good correlations were also found for the vegetation indices (especially NDVI with R²=0.62). This work provides a forward modelling tool for relating forest reflectance to forest characteristics. With this tool it is possible to generate a large set of forest stands with corresponding reflectances. This opens the possibility to understand how reflectance is related to succession and different forest conditions.

Published: May 2023

Synucleins are a family of small, soluble proteins mainly expressed in neural tissue and in certain tumors. Since their discovery, tens of thousands of scientific reports have been published about this family of proteins as they are associated to severe human diseases. Although the physiological function of these proteins still elusive, their relation with neurodegeneration and cancer was clearly described over the years. In this review, we summarize data connecting synucleins and cancer, going from the structural description of these molecules, to their involvement in tumor-related processes, and discuss the putative use of this proteins as cancer molecular biomarkers.

Published: May 2023

This work is related to the environmental toxicology risk assessment and evaluation of possible transformation of carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) after the contact with marine microalgae. The materials used in the study represent common and widely applied multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fullerene (C60), graphene (Gr), and graphene oxide (GrO). The toxicity was evaluated as growth rate inhibition, esterase activity, membrane potential, and reactive oxygen species generation changes. The measurement was performed with flow cytometry after 3, 24, 96 h, and 7 days. Biotransformation of nanomaterials were evaluated after 7 days of microalgae cultivation with CNMs by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The calculated toxic level (EC50 in mg/L, 96 h) of ued CNMs reduced in the following order: CNTs (18.98) > GrO (76.77) > Gr (159.40) > C60 (414.0). Oxidative stress and membrane depolarization was the main toxic action of CNTs and GrO. At the same time, Gr and C60 decreased the toxic action with time and had no negative impact on microalgae even at concentration of 125 mg/L. Moreover, C60 and Gr after seven days of the contact with microalgae cells obtained structural deformations.

Se ha identificado a los dentistas como profesionales sanitarios con un alto riesgo a contraer COVID-19 a causa de la cercanía con los pacientes y a la naturaleza de los tratamientos dentales. Sin embargo, no se conoce la prevalencia de dentistas infectados en el Perú. Se envió una encuesta electrónica a los dentistas registrados en el Colegio Odontológico de la ciudad de Arequipa para recolectar datos sociodemográficos, condiciones médicas y características del empleo durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Se obtuvo el registro de características clínicas como también de efectos adversos de los profesionales en odontología diagnosticados como COVID-19 positivos. La prevalencia general de COVID-19 fue del 44%. El rango de edad de la mayoría de encuestados osciló entre los 31 y 40 años (n = 111; 48,9%). Un total de 45,9% de la población del estudio fueron dentistas de sexo femenino y un 41,6% fueron dentistas de sexo masculino los cuales registraron un diagnóstico positivo a COVID-19 (p = 0,425). Se dio a conocer una relación entre el distrito de origen y la infección por COVID-19, y los odontólogos que trabajaron en el sector público durante 2021 mostraron una mayor tendencia a infectarse (57,6%) (p < 0,05). La prueba diagnóstica que más se utilizó fue la de hisopado antiígeno (38%), y el síntoma más reportado fue la tos. Solo el 0,6% de encuestados informó haber estado hospitalizado, un 10,6% informó haber necesitado oxígeno sin precisar de un internamiento hospitalario y un 0,6% necesitó de la unidad de cuidados intensivos. Al igual que en estudios previos en otros países, el índice de infección por el virus SARS-CoV-2 entre los dentistas arequipeños fue alta. Recomendamos que los dentistas lleven a cabo protocolos de control de infecciones, mientras que en los ministerios de salud y en las asociaciones dentales se tomen medidas...

Introducción: La pandemia por coronavirus (COVID-19) ha representado un reto para los sistemas de salud, en especial en los países de media baja renta. Los estudios sobre el impacto de los primeros meses de la pandemia y los niveles de antimicrobianos son contradictorios. Para ello, el objetivo del estudio fue evaluar los cambios en los niveles de resistencia a los antimicrobianos antes y durante los inicios de la pandemia por COVID-19. Métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio de tipo transversal, se estudió los niveles de sensibilidad de microorganismos asociados a hemocultivos de pacientes neonatos/pediátricos atendidos en el Instituto Materno Perinatal de Lima, Perú entre octubre 2019 y octubre 2020 (periodo pre-pandemia: octubre 2019-marzo 2020, periodo pandemia: marzo-octubre 2020). Los datos de los niveles de resistencia a antimicrobianos se obtuvieron de la base de datos del WHONET (interpretados por CLSI). Se compararon los porcentajes de resistencia entre ambos períodos de tiempo y microorganismo. Resultados: Un total de 588 bacterias fueron incluidas en el estudio, de estas, 238 (40,47%) fueron del periodo pre-pandemia y 350 (59,52%) pandemia. Se incluyeron: Serratia marcenses 20 (3,4%), Klebsiella pneumoniae 34 (5,78%), Escherichia coli 16 (2,72%), Acinetobacter baumanii 47 (7,99%), Enterococcus spp 20 (3,4%), Pseudomona aeruginosa 15 (2,55%), Staphylococcus spp 424 (72,10%) y Streptococcus spp 12 (2,04%). Se halló una disminución significativa en los porcentajes de resistencia en K. pneumonaie para aztreonam (p=<0,001), cefepime (p=0,017) y ceftazidime (p=<0,001) , S. marcenses para cefotaxima (p=0,012) y P. aeruginosa para ceftazidima (p=0.12) entre ambos períodos. Conclusión: Los niveles de resistencia son variables para la mayoría de antibióticos testados. Tanto para Staphylococcus spp así como Acinetobacter baumanii no se presentaron cambios significativos en los porcentajes de resistencia para la familia de antibióticos testados; sin embargo, se observa una disminución de los mismos en Serratia, Klebsiella y Pseudomona, especialmente a cefalosporinas, seguramente atribuible a un aumento de las medidas higiénico-sanitarias aplicadas en los centros de salud y el aislamiento social.

Aims. The relationship between hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA has already been adequately researched in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection, but there are only a few researches yet on the correlations between HBcrAg and HBV DNA in treatment-naïve patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis. Here we explore the correlation between HBcrAg and HBV DNA in this population. Methods. Available data and samples of 98 untreated patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis between October 2018 and October 2019 were analysed. Statistical analyses included baseline characteristics, univariate analysis, stratification analysis, three different analytical models, and a generalized additive model. Results. After adjusting for all recorded confounders (sex, age, diagnosis of primary hepatic carcinoma, total bilirubin（TBIL）, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg), Child–Pugh class, family history of HBV infection, family history of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), alcohol-related liver disease (ALD), and diabetes mellitus), a linear relationship was detected between HBcrAg and HBV DNA (β=0.59, 95%CI=0.34–0.84, P<0.0001). The variational trend of HBcrAg and HBV DNA in each stratified variable (sex, age, HBeAg, family history of HBV infection, family history of HCC, diabetes mellitus, diagnosis of primary hepatic carcinoma, Child–Pugh class, and ALD) were consistent. Conclusion. There was a linear and positive correlation between HBcrAg and HBV DNA in treatment-naïve patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.

For the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), proton transfer (PT) and diffusive transfer (DT) are two main transfer modes of the key reactant OH−in alkaline electrolyte. Thereinto, the faster PT mode is more favored for OER performance, which requires the 3 coordination number (undercoordination) between water molecule and the oxygen of OH−. However, the 4-coordinated OH−(hypercoordination) is usually the more stable state and the strong H2O-OH−bond is hard to break, making it a big challenge to obtain the undercoordinated OH−network for successive PT. Here we utilize the dispersed electrostatic fields providing the strong electrostatic attraction to polarized water as well as the repulsion to OH−to break the H2O-OH−bond, and therefore the undercoordinated OH−network can be formed to provide the accelerated OER kinetics. More interestingly, the electrolyte activity is still almost the same after 30 days, and even after removing the dispersed electrostatic fields, the return of the water coordination and the corresponding activity is rather slow (~ 12 h). The universality of the strategy is demonstrated in terms of the OER enhancement of various catalysts including Ni(OH)2, Co3O4,Ni3S2, NiSx/C3N4and pure Ni foam, which brings the lowest overpotential reported so far (20 mV at 10 mA cm− 2).
Beyond the Dams - Combatting Hydropower Over-reliance & Securing Pathways for a Low-carbon Future for Laos' Electricity Sector using OSeMOSYS (Open-Source Energy Modelling System)

Since the onset of the millennium, Laos has seen exponential growth in the past decades, becoming one of the fastest growing economies of the 21st century. Much of its success owes to its emerging position as ‘the battery of Southeast Asia’ through the exportation of mostly hydropower. While this has brought about almost-universal praise as the beacon of ‘sustainable development’, the detractors of this notion are not without merit. A growing amount of evidence demonstrates that if Laos continues hydropower expansion in its current trajectory, a multitude of implications can stand to disenfranchise the most marginalised in Laos and beyond. Alongside this predicament, much of the world is seeking to set a net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 in order to avoid the most extreme consequences of the climate crisis.
This report seeks to draw up potential pathways to both pressing issues through utilising OSeMOSYS (Open-Source Energy Modelling System), a long-term energy system modelling tool, to create seven scenarios that would provide insight into what pathways there are for the Lao electricity sector to wean its hydropower dependency and still be low-carbon in different capacities.
The modelling output suggests that a low-carbon future not overly-reliant on hydropower is highly feasible and five policy recommendations have transpired through drawing on common themes and key insights of the modelling output. They include the prioritisation and promotion of non-hydro RE, most namely biomass as it serves to replace coal within Laos’ generation mix, the encouragement of small-scale electricity production, transmission and distribution grid improvements and the establishment of an independent power sector regulator. Further research is encouraged to reflect the dynamic changes within RE technology development and improved upon datasets in order for increased accuracy, as well as analysis on a whole energy system level.
Collaborative Dishonesty with Unequal Profits - an Experimental Investigation
Authors: braut beatrice , Valle Nives Della , Piovesan Marco
Published: May 2023

We investigate how facing asymmetric incentives influences collaboration in a setting where subjects can cheat. In the experiment, subjects have to cooperate to receive payment, which depends on their reports about a random outcome, having the opportunity to be dishonest. We compare a situation where cooperation leads to gains that are equally divided between the two individuals to one where the division is unequal. We analyze the evolution of collaborative behavior over time and look at individual strategies. We find that corruptive collaboration is not diluted when personal interests are repeatedly in conflict. Dishonesty is multifaceted and less evident, therefore potentially more damaging. Subjects learn with experience how to dishonestly collaborate, also using their reports as signals. They coordinate on compromise distributions even if these give smaller payments, suggesting that lying gets indeed less costly in presence of asymmetric payments.

Assessing the Relationship between Migraine and Sino-Nasal Symptoms and Diseases Among Syrian Private University Students: A Case-Control Study
Authors: Kadri Louloua Al , Nahas Louei
Published: May 2023

Background: Migraine is a common chronic and disabling condition, diagnosed late in most patients. Furthermore, Sino- nasal diseases are severe stressing conditions that can correlate with headaches and migraine. This study aimed to assess the relationship between migraine and Sino- nasal diseases among Syrian private university students.
Methods: A case-control study was conducted among students of the Syrian Private University in Damascus, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants. A self-administered and completed Arabic questionnaire on migraine and its relationship to Sino- Nasal diseases was used in previous studies. The study included 963 students, of whom 417 were students who had migraines, and 546 were controls who did not have migraines. The Chi-square test was used to assess the relationship between cases and controls and study variables. P value was considered at < 0.05.
Results: Out of 963 students, 30.7% were male, and 69.3% were female. With an average age of 23.8. Most of the students were from the Faculty of Human Medicine, 27.1%, and were in their final years of study 24%. Most Sino- nasal diseases were related to migraine including nasal obstruction, the need to blow to empty, ear pain, pressure, or pain in facial bones. Sino- nasal Score was significantly related to migraine. The severity of Sino- nasal symptoms were significantly associated with migraine.
Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that the diseases and symptoms of the nose and sinuses are significantly associated with migraine. Healthcare providers must raise awareness about this relationship to evaluate it and provide appropriate advice and treatment at an early onset.

Juvenile loneliness is a risk factor for psychopathology in later life. Deprivation of early social experience due to peer rejection has a detrimental impact on emotional and cognitive brain function in adulthood. Accumulating evidence indicates that soy peptides have many positive effects on higher brain function in rodents and humans. However, the effects of soy peptide use on juvenile social isolation are unknown. Here, we demonstrated that soy peptides prevented the deterioration of behavioral and cellular functions resulting from juvenile socially-isolated rearing. We found that prolonged social isolation post-weaning in male C57BL/6J mice resulted in higher aggression and impulsivity and fear memory deficits at 7 weeks of age, and that these behavioral abnormalities, except impulsivity, were mitigated by ingestion of soy peptides. Furthermore, we found that daily intake of soy peptides caused upregulation of postsynaptic density 95 in the medial prefrontal cortex, phosphorylation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein in the hippocampus of socially isolated mice, and altered the microbiota composition. These results suggest that soy peptides have protective effects against juvenile social isolation-induced behavioral deficits via synaptic maturation and cellular functionalization.
