Published: March 2019

The vibration signal monitoring that is being generated by a rotor supported by a rolling element bearing is becoming important to define reliability of rotary machine. It is most prudent and useful method for bearing fault detection. Recently, there has been a lot of research on rolling element bearings fault. The kurtosis is most vital parameter to find inner race fault and outer race fault. It is enhanced by a proper selection of variable frame sizes and decompositions levels using wavelet based multi-scale principal component analysis (WMSPCA). It is observed that the kurtosis changes significantly as compared to the actual kurtosis of the un-decomposed faulty signals by proper selection of frame size and decompositions level.

Predicting the aircraft take-off noise level
Authors: Faiyetole Ayodele Adekunle , Toyin Ibrahim Taofiq
Published: March 2019

We propose a model function for aircraft take-off noise prediction with distances radially from a runway. The nonlinear model function reveals four main parameters contributing to the effective strength of aircraft take-off noise over distance. A numerical solution of the model function is used to predict the minimum safe distances for residential locations. We infer that residential locations could not be situated within a 4 km radial distance of an airport to avoid regular exposure to above 45 dBA noise levels at night.
Review on vibration quality improvement of a passenger seat
Authors: Rikaz Mohamed , Abeysinghe Asith , Perera Malika
Published: March 2019

Seats are one of the most significant components of vehicles. Customer’s expectations for the comfort in vehicle seats rise continuously. Designing of automobile seats has always been a challenge for engineers as design parameters for automobile seats are complex. When it comes to the design of automobile seats, three design objectives, namely comfort, safety and health need to be fulfilled simultaneously. Vibration analysis plays a major role in engineering including the area of design for automobile comfort. Human structure, as a mechanical system, is immensely complex and the mechanical properties of human body readily undergo change. In addition, the vibration can initiate the development of pressure ulcer and other long-term diseases. Comfort measurement is challenging because of such factors as user subjectivity, seat geometry, occupant anthropometry and amount of time spent sitting. The purpose of this study is to identify the most significant parameters that make vibration in the vehicle seat which reduce passenger comfort and to identify the design parameters that can impact on appropriate seat design. Suspension systems, seat cushion and sitting postures are some of the vital parameters that have huge impacts on comfort analysis. This review could help in design of seat cushions with appropriate material properties and in analysing the comfort levels of human body to reduce the vibration transmissibility at the critical frequency bands.
Rockfall monitoring based on multichannel synthetic aperture radar
Authors: Liang Guanting , Xiao Kaiqian , Zheng Hongwei , Zhao Weigang , Zhang Qian , Gao Chao
Published: March 2019

Rockfall influences the safety of infrastructure and transportation lines normal operation, application of SAR technology to monitor the rockfall could predict rockfall disaster. One of the most important factors in rockfall target detection is the signal-to-clutter-plus noise ratio (SCNR) after clutter suppression, which should be maximized before rockfall target detection. Through analyzing remainder rockfall target characteristic after clutter suppression, the method of removing quadratic FM component introduced by platform velocity and along track velocity of rockfall target is proposed. After removing quadratic FM component by Dechirp technology, remainder rockfall target is focused in Doppler region image and the SCNR of remainder rockfall target is maximized. So, it has a preferable result in rockfall target detection. To resolve the contradiction between calculated amount and the accuracy of along track velocity, this paper adopts the technology of gradual approach. The effectiveness of the presented method is demonstrated by both theoretic analysis and simulated data.
Conformational Preferences of Aβ25-35 and Aβ35-25 in Membrane Mimicking Environments
Authors: Sambasivam Dhandayuthapani , Sivanesan Senthilkumar , Sultana Sayeeda , Rajadas Jayakumar
Published: March 2019

Background:

The structural transition of aggregating Abeta peptides is the key event in
the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).

Objective:

In the present work, the structural modifications of toxic Aβ25-35 and the scrambled
Aβ35-25 were studied in Trifluoroethanol (TFE) and in aqueous SDS micelles.

Methods:

Using CD spectroscopic investigations, the conformational transition of Aβ25-35 and
Aβ35-25 peptides were determined in different membrane mimicking environments such as TFE and
SDS. An interval scan CD of the peptides on evaporation of TFE was performed. TFE titrations
were carried out to investigate the intrinsic ability of the structural conformations of peptides.

Results:

We show by spectroscopic evidence that Aβ25-35 prefers beta sheet structures upon
increasing TFE concentrations. On the other hand, the non-toxic scrambled Aβ35-25 peptide only
undergoes a transition from random coil to α-helix conformation with increasing TFE. In the
interval scan studies, Aβ25-35 did not show any structural transitions, whereas Aβ35-25 showed
transition from α-helix to β-sheet conformation. In membrane simulating aqueous SDS micelles,
Aβ25-35 showed a transition from random coil to α-helix while Aβ35-25 underwent transition from
random coil to β-sheet conformation.

Conclusion:

Overall, the current results seek new insights into the structural properties of
amyloidogenic and the truncated sequence in membrane mimicking solvents.

Authors: Oberti Luca , Alberta Lucchese , Massimo Petruzzi , Francesco Carinci , Dorina Lauritano
Published: March 2019

Aim:

The clinical management of OLP represents a considerable challenge for the oral physician. The aim of this review is to assess the main intervention used in the management of OLP and the efficacy of every type of treatment.

Materials & Methods:

We searched and analyzed PubMed database for articles on OLP management. Only randomized controlled trials, comparing an active treatment with placebo, or between different active treatments, were considered in this systematic review. Only patients with symptomatic OLP were included and interventions of all types were considered (topical treatment, systemic drugs, non pharmacological intervention).

Results:

A total of 25 randomized controlled trials were examined and included in this review. Steroids are the most frequently employed drug in the treatment of OLP and their efficacy and safety are demonstrated. Also calcineurin inhibitors and photo-dynamic therapy are used in different studies for OLP management, with positive results.

Conclusion:

Topical steroids remain the first-line treatment for symptomatic OLP, however, many different pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies would represent a valid alternative for its management, but, nowadays they require further investigations.
Assessment of Antibody Interference of Enfuvirtide (T20) Function Shows Assay Dependent Variability
Authors: Smith Michele , Hoffman Jonathon , Sojar Hakimuddin , Aalinkeel Ravikumar , Hsiao Chiu-Bin , Hicar Mark Daniel
Published: March 2019

Background:

During HIV infection, fusion of the viral and cellular membranes is dependent on folding of the gp41 trimer into a six-helix bundle. Fusion inhibitors, such as the antiretroviral Enfuvirtide (T20), interfere with the formation of the gp41 six-helix bundle. Recent in vitro studies reveal that the gp41 immunodominant region one targeting antibody 3D6 can block T20 interference, but the clinical and pathophysiologic significance of this finding is unclear.

Objective/Method:

We have previously characterized a number of antibodies that target conformational epitopes on gp41and herein characterized their ability to interfere with T20 in multiple assays and assess their prevalence in HIV infected subjects.

Results:

The T20 interference by antibody 3D6 was confirmed in a CHO-HXB2 envelope/ HeLaT4+ cell culture assay. Antibodies that target an immunodominant region one epitope, as well as a gp41 discontinuous epitope, also interfered in this assay, however, not all antibodies that targeted these epitopes showed T20 interference. This response was not due to the direct binding of T20 by the antibodies and could not be replicated utilizing TZM-bl and HL2/3 cells. Notably, serum competition studies on a panel of HIV subjects demonstrate that these conformational targeting antibodies are common in the HIV population.

Conclusion:

The relatively common nature of antibodies targeting these epitopes, the disparate in vitro results, and lack of reported clinical failures ascribed to such antibodies leads us to conclude that antibody interference of T20 is likely not clinically relevant. However, this warrants continued consideration with the advancement of other fusion inhibitors.

Authors: Singh Satyam , Dharamveer  , Kulshreshtha Mayank
Published: March 2019

Objective:

The present study was designed to investigate the potential of Pistacia vera
(P. vera) fruits in experimental memory impairments in mice.

Material & Methods:

Memory impairment was induced in Swiss Albino mice by scopolamine
(0.4mg mg/kg. i.p). Animals were divided into five separate groups of six animals each, positive control
group received carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) as vehicle, negative control group received scopolamine
with vehicle, and standard group received donepezil (5mg/kg i.p) with Scopolamine. Ethanolic
extract of P. vera (EEPV) at doses of 200mg/kg & 400mg/kg p.o were administered to group
test1 & test 2 respectively along with scopolamine. Elevated plus maze (EPM), passive avoidance
paradigms and morris water maze (MWM) were used as exteroceptive behavioral models to access
learning and memory activity. Transfer latency, step down latency and escape latency parameters
were evaluated plus maze, passive avoidance paradigm, morris water maze. Thereafter lipid peroxidation
test, glutathione level and catalase activities were estimated in homogenized brain of mice.

Results:

Pretreatment of mice with EEPV (200mg/kg & 400mg/kg) significantly reduced scopolamine
induced amnesia. The obtained data clearly revealed that there was increase in escape latency in
MWM and also increase in step down latency in passive avoidance paradigm. Transfer latencey was
found to be decrease in EPM and biochemical. Parameters were clearly satisfied the data as compared
to negative control group which was indicative of cognitive improvement.

Conclusion:

P. vera fruit extract demonstrated to improve cognitive process by enhancing memory
in different experimental paradigm such as EPM, passive avoidance and MWM when administered
orally. Hence it would be worthwhile to explore the potential of this plant in the management of
memory disorders.
Informed Consent for Genetics Research in Italy
Authors: Fedeli Piergiorgio , Cannovo Nunzia , Guarino Rosa , Graziano Vincenzo
Published: March 2019

Background:

Genetic research has become an indispensable instrument for medical research, and the subjects involved have both divergent and convergent interests.

Objective:

The possibility of having more detailed genetic information undoubtedly offers benefits for the health of the subject, but could also pose risks and make the subject vulnerable to discrimination.

The scientific community has viewed very favorably the public health utility of family history, in which data from a family whose members suffer from chronic pathologies is collected and filed, in order to develop a sort of "stratification of family risk."

Even though in the last decade the scientific and juridical literature has contributed greatly to the topic of biobanks, the perplexities that continue to surround this theme give the idea that current ethical protocols on research are inadequate.

Conclusion:

Genetic data must be used not to exploit, but to serve the person. Freedom and responsibility must be the twin guiding lights for establishing parameters for the use of biological samples. An evaluation of how this technology impacts the various aspects of the future of society is urgently needed.

A total of 119 doctors were included in this study. Among all respondents, 92 (77.3%) were intern doctors, 16 (13.4%) were resident doctors, and 11 (9.2%) were specialist doctors. Moreover, 66 (55.5%) doctors knew the definition of SSI. Only one-quarter, that is, 30 (25.2%) doctors knew about the incidence of SSI. In addition, 8 doctors (6.7%) had good knowledge, 75 (63.0%) had fair knowledge, and 36 (30.2%) had poor knowledge regarding SSI according to this study.

CONCLUSIONS

Level of knowledge about SSIs and risks of wound infections among medical physicians should be improved to ensure better wound care and quality care for the patients.
Applications and Challenges of Implementing Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education: Integrative Review (Preprint)
Authors: Chan Kai Siang , Zary Nabil
Published: March 2019

BACKGROUND

Since the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in 1955, the applications of AI have increased over the years within a rapidly changing digital landscape where public expectations are on the rise, fed by social media, industry leaders, and medical practitioners. However, there has been little interest in AI in medical education until the last two decades, with only a recent increase in the number of publications and citations in the field. To our knowledge, thus far, a limited number of articles have discussed or reviewed the current use of AI in medical education.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to review the current applications of AI in medical education as well as the challenges of implementing AI in medical education.

METHODS

Medline (Ovid), EBSCOhost Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) and Education Source, and Web of Science were searched with explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria. Full text of the selected articles was analyzed using the Extension of Technology Acceptance Model and the Diffusions of Innovations theory. Data were subsequently pooled together and analyzed quantitatively.

RESULTS

A total of 37 articles were identified. Three primary uses of AI in medical education were identified: learning support (n=32), assessment of students’ learning (n=4), and curriculum review (n=1). The main reasons for use of AI are its ability to provide feedback and a guided learning pathway and to decrease costs. Subgroup analysis revealed that medical undergraduates are the primary target audience for AI use. In addition, 34 articles described the challenges of AI implementation in medical education; two main reasons were identified: difficulty in assessing the effectiveness of AI in medical education and technical challenges while developing AI applications.

CONCLUSIONS

The primary use of AI in medical education was for learning support mainly due to its ability to provide individualized feedback. Little emphasis was placed on curriculum review and assessment of students’ learning due to the lack of digitalization and sensitive nature of examinations, respectively. Big data manipulation also warrants the need to ensure data integrity. Methodological improvements are required to increase AI adoption by addressing the technical difficulties of creating an AI application and using novel methods to assess the effectiveness of AI. To better integrate AI into the medical profession, measures should be taken to introduce AI into the medical school curriculum for medical professionals to better understand AI algorithms and maximize its use.

The notion of social responsibility in social enterprises and non-profit organizations
Authors: Sacchetti Silvia , Tortia Ermanno
Published: March 2019

This contribution focuses on forms of CSR of the likes of NPOs, social enterprises, co-operative firms, and multi-stakeholder governance. Their common feature is that they all are organizational types which do not maximize profits and add the social dimension in the operation and aims of the organization as fundamental elements. The explicit recognition of a social dimension can, therefore, be studied at different levels, starting from basic institutions, such as control rights and governance, up to strategic and operational dimensions such as organizational routines, managerial models and employment relations. The issue to be examined, in these respects, is how these firms design their governance consistently with the instrumental role of profit and other commercial objectives, and how the role of profit is reconciled with the main societal aims
Joint ventures success in international market: How emerging-market firms improve value in developed-market firms
Authors: Magni Domitilla , Pezzi Alberto
Published: March 2019

Strategic alliances, joint ventures (JVs), and other cooperation agreements between firms operating in developing countries and those in emerging countries, represent a privileged instrument for accessing in the foreign market and for activating greater competitiveness of companies in the worldwide markets. For many years, strategic alliances have seen firms operating in developed-markets as their main subject. Lately, emerging economies are increasingly involved in JV operations as buyers: all these have occurred as a consequence of the phenomenon of globalization, and the drive towards liberalization processes. The paper analyzes the reaction of 120 firms listed on the stock market in developed countries in response to joint venture announcements of emerging-market partners, in order to understand whether JV processes are drivers for value creation. Other determinants of value creation are also explored by multivariate regressions, including a battery of covariates related to industry-wide, countrywide, and firm-specific factors. The results express a positive and significant reaction to the market in response to the announcements of international JV. In our case, we see that the exogenous shock of emerging-market liberalization has a positive impact on the stability of international JVs in developed-markets; in addition, international JVs show a high complementarity of partner resources, which are able to alleviate some of the stability problems.
Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC): Empirical relationship between economic growth, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions: Evidence from 3 developed countries
Authors: Beşe Emrah , Kalayci Salih
Published: March 2019

In this study, the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis is examined for 3 developed countries, which are Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Spain, for the period between 1960 and 2014. The EKC hypothesis is examined under 2 nexuses which are GDP, CO2 and energy consumption, and GDP, CO2, energy consumption and the square of GDP. Causal and long-term relationships between GDP, CO2, and energy consumption are examined for these 3 developed countries using the ARDL bounds test, the Toda and Yamamoto Granger non-causality test, the VAR Granger Causality/Block Exogeneity Wald test, and the Johansen cointegration test. Long-term relationships between GDP, CO2, energy consumption, and the square of GDP are examined by the Johansen cointegration test. The EKC hypothesis is not confirmed for Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Spain, and the neutrality hypothesis is confirmed for these 3 developed countries. Unidirectional causality running from energy consumption to CO2 is found for Denmark, and unidirectional causality running from CO2 to energy consumption is found for the United Kingdom.
Three-dimensional palatal anatomic characteristics' correlation with dermatoglyphic heterogeneity in Angle malocclusions
Authors: AlShahrani Ibrahim , Dawasaz Ali A. , Syed Sadatullah , Ibrahim Mohammed , Togoo Rafi A.
Published: March 2019

Objectives:

To assess correlation of dermatoglyphic (DG) pattern with quantitative palatal anatomic parameters measured using three-dimensional (3D) scanning of dental casts and to explore the possibility of utilizing these to predict future occurrence of malocclusion.

Materials and Methods:

Pretreatment casts of 477 Saudi Arabian patients were divided into Class I, II, and III malocclusion groups. Fingerprints were recorded for all hand digits using a digital biometric device. Maxillary arch analysis was accomplished including intercanine, intermolar distance, palatal height, and palatal area. The results were statistically analyzed.

Results:

The mean surface area of the palate was highest in Class II malocclusion. The DG pattern was not significantly associated with the type of malocclusion, except in the instance of the double loop characteristic (P = .05). There was a strong correlation, however, between DG characteristics like simple arch, loop, and double loop and palatal dimensions (intercanine, intermolar distance, and palatal height). Heterogeneity of DG pattern could be reliably used to predict palatal dimensions. Logistic regression revealed that only tented arch, symmetrical, spiral DG patterns and palatal area were significant but weak predictors of Angle malocclusion (P < .05).

Conclusions:

A novel correlation of DG pattern with 3D palatal anatomic characteristics was assessed in different Angle malocclusion classes. Few of the DG characteristics and palatal dimensions showed significant correlations. However, only some of these were significant predictors of Angle malocclusion.
