Novel PSSM-Based Approaches for Gene Identification Using Support Vector Machine
Authors: Bhat Heena Farooq , Wani M. Arif
Published: March 2024

By understanding the function of each protein encoded in genome, the molecular mechanism of the cell can be recognized. In genome annotation field, several methods or techniques have been developed to locate or predict the patterns of genes in genome sequence. However, recognizing corresponding gene of a given protein sequence using conventional tools is inherently complicated and error prone. This paper first focuses on the issue of gene prediction and its challenges. The authors then present a novel method for identifying genes that involves a two-step process. First the research presents new features extracted from protein sequences using a position specific scoring matrix (PSSM). The PSSM profiles are converted into uniform numeric representation. Then, a new structured approach has been applied on PSSM vector which uses a decision tree-based technique for obtaining rules. Finally, the rules of single class are joined together to form a matrix which is then given as an input to SVM for classification purpose. The rules derived from algorithm correspond to genes. The authors also introduce another approach for predicting genes based on PSSM using SVM. Both the methods have been implemented on genome DNAset dataset. Empirical evaluation shows that PSSM based SAFARI approach produces better results.
Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Approaches
Authors: Mahyoub Fawaz H. H. , Abdullah Rosni
Published: March 2024

The prediction of protein secondary structure from a protein sequence provides useful information for predicting the three-dimensional structure and function of the protein. In recent decades, protein secondary structure prediction systems have been improved benefiting from the advances in computational techniques as well as the growth and increased availability of solved protein structures in protein data banks. Existing methods for predicting the secondary structure of proteins can be roughly subdivided into statistical, nearest-neighbor, machine learning, meta-predictors, and deep learning approaches. This chapter provides an overview of these computational approaches to predict the secondary structure of proteins, focusing on deep learning techniques, with highlights on key aspects in each approach.

Authors: Yadav Sunishtha Singh , Chauhan Vandana , Singh Vijeta , Kohler Svenja
Published: March 2024

Cancer has been known as a devastating disease that takes thousands of lives every year. And since this is a heterogenous disease, standard treatments, like chemotherapy, radiation, and chemo-radio therapy, are effective in specific patient population subset only. Genetic differences play a very crucial role in defining cancer susceptibility and also in determining the drug's efficacy by affecting regulation, expression, and activity of drug metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters, and drug receptors. This genetic variability of the disease lends itself to the emerging field of precision or personalized medicine. There are some specific ways of acquiring data for precision or personalized medicine approach like genome wide association scan (GWAS). This is basically identification and scanning of biomarkers throughout the complete DNA/genome of several individuals to study any type of genetic variations which are linked with any form of cancer.

Characterization of Nanoporous Poly(Lactic Acid) Microfibers Using a Simplified Centrifugal Spinning Method
Authors: Yamada Kazushi , Narita Chieko
Published: March 2024

In recent years, great attention has been paid to the development of porous materials with excellent reactivity and absorbency. The poly(lactic acid) (PLA) microfibers with uniform nanopores were successfully prepared by rotary centrifugal spinning using PLA/chloroform solution. Previous research showed that PLA microfibers have extremely high oil absorbing capacity. In this study, the changes in fiber diameter and nanopore diameter of nanoporous PLA microfibers under different fabrication conditions and the adsorption capacity of Prussian blue nanoparticles were systematically evaluated. The results showed that the fiber diameter increased with increasing PLA/chloroform solution concentration. Furthermore, it was found that the amount of adsorbed Prussian blue nanoparticles increased with the increase in fiber diameter. Prussian blue nanoparticles are known to adsorb radioactive materials such as cesium, and are expected to be applied to the recovery of cesium diffused in the atmosphere and ocean.
Development of a Process to Continuously Mercerise Loose-Stock Cotton
Authors: Arnold Lyndon , Padhye Rajiv
Published: March 2024

Cotton has traditionally been mercerised as hanks of yarn or as open-width fabrics, but commercial methods to mercerise loose stock directly after ginning have been limited. Arnold and Rippon [1,2] produced continuous lengths of fully mercerised sliver with increased fibre strength, enhanced dye-uptake, improved surface lustre, without fibre shrinkage. Not only did the method prevent shrinkage, but fibres could be stretched by as much as 4% and then stably set. The disadvantage of this method was that fibre had to be fully processed to sliver form.An improved prototype machine has now been successfully developed to continuously mercerise ginned loose stock. Testing has confirmed that the output fibres are mercerised along their full lengths and have higher tenacity compared with the un-mercerised Control. Fibre lengths have also been maintained, indicating that the shrinkage normally caused by slack mercerising has been prevented. Fibre dyeability is comparable with that of slack-mercerised samples but better than the un-mercerised Control. The improved lustre expected for fibre mercerised under tension has also been confirmed. The production rate of the process can be readily improved, and the prototype expanded in size to increase output.
Tensile Properties of Different Yarn Structures Based on Recycled Carbon Fibre for Sustainable Thermoset Composites
Authors: Hasan Mir Mohammad Badrul , Abdkader Anwar , Lang Tobias Georg , Gereke Thomas , Cherif Chokri
Published: March 2024

The development of different hybrid yarn structures from recycled carbon fibre (rCF) (rCF content approx. 50% by weight) and thermoplastic fibres for thermoplastic composites has been reported earlier. However, manufacturing of yarns with high rCF content (>90%) required for thermoset composites is still not realizable due to high shortening (≥ 70%) in fibre length of rCF, which occurs during different processing steps of spinning. The reason lies in low shear strength, smooth fibre surface, small diameter and high brittleness of rCF. In addition to this, lack of crimp in rCF leads to drafting error during drawing and spinning process. Therefore, there is a high demand on rCF yarns for thermoset composites, as around 70% of composites are produced based on thermoset matrix. In this paper, yarns consisting of staple rCF with high rCF content (>90 weight%) are developed on DREF-friction spinning and wrap spinning technologies. For the production of yarns, slivers with different rCF content are produced using carding and drawing machine. The effect of different spinning parameters suction air pressure for DREF friction spun yarns and yarn twist for wrap spun yarns is investigated and their effect on tensile properties of yarn is analysed. The results show that the tensile properties of yarns can be adjusted to a wide range varying the yarn structure and spinning parameters.

Published: March 2024

Background: To investigate the prevalence, incidence, comorbidities, and management status of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetes-related end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in South Korea.Methods: We used the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (2019 to 2021, n=2,665) for the evaluation of prevalence, comorbidities, control rate of glycemia and comorbidities in DKD, and the Korean Health Insurance Service-customized database (2008 to 2019, n=3,950,857) for the evaluation of trends in the incidence and prevalence rate of diabetes-related ESKD, renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers and sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors use for DKD, and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and mortality according to DKD stages. DKD was defined as albuminuria or low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in patients with diabetes mellitus.Results: The prevalence of DKD was 25.4% (albuminuria, 22.0%; low eGFR, 6.73%) in patients with diabetes mellitus aged ≥30 years. Patients with DKD had a higher rate of comorbidities, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and central obesity; however, their control rates were lower than those without DKD. Prescription rate of SGLT2 inhibitors with reduced eGFR increased steadily, reaching 5.94% in 2019. Approximately 70% of DKD patients were treated with RAS blockers. The prevalence rate of diabetesrelated ESKD has been steadily increasing, with a higher rate in older adults. ASCVD and mortality were significantly associated with an in increase in DKD stage.Conclusion: DKD is prevalent among Korean patients with diabetes and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which requiring intensive management of diabetes and comorbidities. The prevalence of diabetes-related ESKD has been increasing, especially in the older adults, during past decade.
Memories and testimonies of passbooks, permits and platkeps in apartheid-era Batho, Mangaung
Authors: Du Bruyn Derek D.
Published: March 2024

he memories and testimonies of black people who were on the receiving end of racial discrimination provide important evidence of their lived experiences during the apartheid era (1948–1994). They ‘revisit’ apartheid South Africa because of recurring memories of traumatic experiences. Sadly, they relive the painful incidents emotionally when such memories are triggered. The National Museum in Bloemfontein has interviewed more than 150 Batho residents about their experiences of Batho’s apartheid past, specifically their experiences of racist municipal laws and regulations. Although discriminatory municipal policies are rooted in the racial sentiments of Bloemfontein’s colonial (1846–1910) and segregationist (1910–1948) periods, they are also based on national legislation, notably the Natives (Urban Areas) Act of 1923. Direct quotes from interviews allow interviewees to speak for themselves. The interviewees’ testimonies of their experiences have generated information about, among others, the carrying of passbooks; visits to the pass office; maltreatment by municipal police (platkeps); being arrested for not having a passbook; spending time in police cells for committing loaferskap (idleness) or for housing an overnight guest without a lodger’s permit; being victims of violent house raids; and being harassed by the night curfew siren. Because most interviewees’ parents and grandparents were subjected to similar discriminatory laws and regulations, traumatic experiences are a multi-generational phenomenon.Contribution: The oral history methodology was used to reconstruct aspects of Batho’s apartheid history. By tapping into people’s memories and testimonies, this article aims to present a history from ‘below’ of Mangaung’s oldest existing township and, thereby, contribute to local historiography.

This takes a large amount of time and adds to erroneous tumour detection.
RESULTS: A tumour is a development of tissue that is uncontrolled. Transfer learning may be utilized to detect the brain cancer utilizing. The model's capacity to forecast the presence of a cancer in a picture is its best advantage. It returns TRUE if a tumor is present and FALSE otherwise.
CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the use of CNN and deep learning algorithms to the identification of brain tumor has shown remarkable promise and has the potential to completely transform the discipline of radiology.
Procedure for the Analysis and Evaluation of Gaseous Emissions from Aircraft Engines
Authors:   E-31G Gaseous Committee
Published: March 2024

SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice ARP1533 is a procedure for the analysis and evaluation of the measured composition of the exhaust gas from aircraft engines. Measurements of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, total hydrocarbon, and the oxides of nitrogen are used to deduce emission indices, fuel-air ratio, combustion efficiency, and exhaust gas thermodynamic properties. The emission indices (EI) are the parameters of critical interest to the engine developers and the atmospheric emissions regulatory agencies because they relate engine performance to environmental impact.

While this procedure is intended to guide the analysis and evaluation of the emissions from aircraft gas turbine engines (burning conventional hydrocarbon based liquid fuels), the methodology may be applied to the analysis of the exhaust products of any hydrocarbon/air combustor. Some successful applications include:

Aircraft engine combustor development rig tests (aviation jet fueled)

Stationary source combustor development rig tests (natural gas and diesel fueled)

Afterburning military engine tests (aviation jet fueled)

Internal combustion aircraft engine diagnostics (AVGAS fueled)

Each application may be characterized by very different measured emissions levels (parts per million versus percent by volume) but this common approach solves the same basic combustion chemical equation.

The matrix method of solving the combustion chemical equation is recommended because of all the potential variations in exhaust gas measurement requirements. Changes in the fuel type, addition of diluents, addition of measured species, and options for wet or dry basis measurements are most easily handled by revising individual matrix row equations. Matrix solution software is widely available on personal computers. However, derivation of the algebraic solution of the chemical equation is retained for traceability to previous versions of this document. This document also contains a section pertaining to data quality checks, measurement uncertainty, and water content calculations.

Safety and solidarity: Using collective documents to share sex workers’ insider knowledges
Authors: Sharp Julia
Published: March 2024

Western culture and Western health care systems have created places of sexual health care that are highly individualised, privatised and professionalised. For people engaged in sex work, this reduces the possibilities for sharing skills and knowledges and instead leaves people with internalised feelings of shame, guilt and isolation. This paper describes collective therapeutic work that elicited insider knowledges, skills and sparkling moments from sex workers. These accounts sidestepped negative identity conclusions and fostered mutual support among the workers, even though the participants never met each other. The work was guided by narrative practice concepts including externalising, double listening, re-authoring, privileging insider knowledges and developing collective documents.
A search for justice using AI-assisted image creation
Authors: Sambeek Lucy Van
Published: March 2024

As artificial intelligence becomes pervasive, therapists might be left wondering about its implications for narrative practice. This paper explores an unexpected discovery about the power of artificial intelligence in re-imagining a story of injustice. Lucy (the therapist) and Miles (the client) used an AI image creator to assist in the externalisation of problems. Creating imagery representing Miles’s story of injustice and sharing the images with outsider witnesses became acts of justice and healing. The process of narrative justice using AI has implications for the practice of narrative therapy. This article finishes with an opportunity for readers and viewers to respond to Miles’s online gallery of imagery.

An Episode of Your Life: Rich narrative engagement with episodic stories
Authors: Stewart Julie , Sostar Tiffany , Myhra Ian , Hoffmann Sonia , Uppal Jyotsna
Published: March 2024

This article describes a new practice map, an “Episode of Your Life”, which adapts existing narrative “… of life” practices to an episodic story from a person’s life using metaphors from film and television production. This practice map draws significantly on ideas of “peopling the room” and the Team of Life in order to scaffold safety in imagining the process of telling painful stories through the collectivising of the storytelling process. This practice map specifically does not require that the storyteller tell the story, but rather invites them to imagine how they might tell a story from their life in a way that aligns with their values, hopes and preferred storylines. Some of the significant effects that we discovered were related to the richness of the visual metaphor for adding another layer of possible meaning-making in the storytelling process, and allowing for a “proliferation of what’s possible” in the imagining of the storytelling, such as through the use of time jumps; computer-generated imagery; inviting rich descriptions of preferred relationships, histories and values; and dignifying of stories that otherwise might be left unspoken. Participants were left with a feeling of solidarity and a “safe riverbank” from which to imagine telling their stories.

A CLINICAL STUDY OF ROLE OF SHATAVARI GHRITA TARPAN IN THE MANAGEMENT OF TIMIR WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MYOPIA
Authors: Ramchandra Yalagi Dattatraya
Published: March 2024

Sushruta classified the eye diseases according to the lesion's site. ‘Drishtigata Rogas’ (diseases related to vision) are responsible for visual impairment, both partial and complete. Timira (myopia) comes under this group of dis-eases. Sushruta considers Timira, Kacha (myopia), and Linganasha (cataract) to be the progressive clinical stag-es of the disease Linganasha, whereas Vagbhata enumerates six types of Timira as separate entities. Timira is considered the most important one, causing difficulty in vision. A good deal of care must be exercised in carry-ing out its proper diagnosis and treatment. Sushruta, the father of ancient Indian surgery, has recommended ‘Kri-yakalpa’ (medicinal therapies used for eye diseases) for managing Timira and other treatment forms. The term Kriyakalpa refers to the local treatment, which can be applied to almost all types of eye diseases, and it comprises Tarpana, Putapaka, Anjana, Ashchyotana and Seka. Much of the work has been performed by Timira Yoga and Kriyakalpa. But none of them has an excellent modern objective parameter to diagnose the exact role of Kriya-kalpa in the prognosis of Timira or Myopia. So, in this study, we have taken corneal topography as an objective test to assess the corneal changes responsible for myopia's prognosis. A controlled Clinical trial with 30 patients of Timira (myopia) was carried out for 15 days. Corneal Topography was done before and after the treatment. The Subjective criteria were Vivhala Darshana (Blurred vision), Netratana (Eye Strain), Shirobhitapa (Head-ache), Durastha Avyakta darshana (Indistinct Vision), Netra srava (Watering of the eye) and Netra Daha (Burn-ing sensation). The objective criteria were Visual acuity, Refraction under mydriasis and Topography. According to statistical analysis, it can be concluded that Shatavari Ghrita Tarpana (Use of Shatawari Ghrit in a medicinal procedure) is effective in Myopia. No side effects or adverse reactions were seen during treatment. Netra Tarpana with Shatavari Ghrita makes positive topographic changes, which is suggestive of flattening of the cornea and reduction of myopia. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for all subjective criteria |W| > Wcr. hence Z > 1.96, P<0.05. Therefore, Shatavari ghrita tarpana is significantly effective in decreasing this study's subjective crite-ria. For Visual acuity, t=16.9 for both eyes hence p<0.05, For refraction under mydriasis, t=12.78 for the right and 9.61 for the left eye. P<0.05 for both the eyes. The prognosis of Corneal topography is also significant as t=3.75 for both eyes, hence p<0.05. Therefore, after completion of treatment, acceptance of glasses was in-creased significantly as t=3.17 for the right eye and 8.09 for the left eye, hence p<0.05.

the physical aspects of food but also its energetic qualities and effects on the mind-body complex. In Ayurveda,
“Ahaar” is called Mahabhaisjya, which means food is the only medicine responsible for health and disease. Different food types are categorised under Hita (wholesome) and Ahita (unwholesome) Ahaar. Ayurveda focuses on
the preventive aspect as well as on the therapeutic aspects. By choosing a Prakriti-wise diet, one can maintain
health. A person's Prakriti plays an essential role in selecting the diet and habits that directly impact health; a
Vata Prakriti person should avoid dry, bitter, cold foods. It increases the Vata Dosha, but a Kapha Prakriti person
can take it as it decreases the Kapha Dosha and helps balance Doshas. Similarly, if a Pitta takes hot, spicy, or
certain foods like ginger and garlic, it may irritate, but a Kapha Prakriti person can accept the same to reduce
Kapha.

For most Indonesian people, tofu is a processed soybean-based food that is very popular among Indonesian people. Apart from being highly nutritious, tofu is also cheap and easy to make. The price is affordable for the general public and the taste is delicious. At the processing stage, the tofu industry produces both solid and liquid waste. The process of sifting and grouping solid waste produces waste which is mostly sold by experts and processed into animal feed, tempeh gembus which is made from tofu dregs, and leftover tofu flour which is used as a basic ingredient for making bread and baked goods. Meanwhile, a lot of liquid waste is produced during the process of washing tofu, boiling tofu, pressing tofu, and the process of forming tofu. Ecological benefits will be reduced if tofu liquid waste is directly disposed of into waters due to the high content of organic matter, BOD and COD. Therefore, the industry realizes that waste processing is necessary to reduce the current risk of pollution. Handling of tofu waste must continue to be carried out and monitored properly. Indonesia has the ability to create normal abundance in large quantities to channel elective energy. Therefore, the use of fuel sources requires substitute materials that are not harmful to the ecosystem and do not run out. Biogas is an environmentally friendly power plant that has a lot of development potential.

Wind is the movement of air from an area with high pressure to an area with low pressure. Wind energy is one of the many abundant renewable energies. One example of the use of wind energy in Indonesia is the Wind Power Plant. A vertical axis wind turbine is a wind turbine that moves vertically where its axis is perpendicular to the ground surface. The advantage of this vertical axis windmill is that the turbine is not always directed towards the wind. The disadvantage of vertical axis wind turbines is that their efficiency is lower than horizontal axis wind turbines because there is lower wind speed and air resistance. In this article we will explain about vertical axis wind turbines, Wind Power Plants, and how wind turbines work. The research method used in writing this article is the literature study research method by reviewing several articles. From the research that has been carried out, the results obtained are an understanding of vertical axis wind turbines and wind power plants.
