Post-Trans Human Techno Science as Help or Threat: An Overview with Emphasis on a Current Nanotechnology Application
Authors: Di Sia Paolo
Published: September 2022

Aim: The paper focuses on the progressive growth of a particular direction of science which, in the name of an alleged human and social progress, is imposing itself in a disputable way, progressively stifling people’s freedom of choice. Never as in this time, technoscience has been trying to impose its highly questionable rules, to the detriment of human freedom and health. True science is currently often confused with a sort of scientism. The scientific medicine fights against unofficial medicines and is enjoying a credit comparable to a religion. Methods: The paper analyzes the role of technoscience in the post-transhuman framework, with particular attention to nanotechnologies and to the unfortunate consequences emerging from its recent application in the field of gene sera in relation to Covid-19 pandemic. Results: Technoscience and nanotechnological applications, closely related to it, can become dangerous tools for the future of humanity if their use is not properly controlled through truly scientific methods. An illuminating example of this is the use of experimental drugs, improperly called vaccines, from the past year throughout the world. Conclusion: We cannot speak of true science and technoscience at the service of the individual if freedom and human dignity are not respected or overshadowed through social impositions without real scientific basis. Scientific discoveries and technological inventions are acceptable if they respect human dignity and aim at the common good and not at the advantage of an elite.
Human Smell-Technology Initiatives: Can Smell Improve Road Safety?
Authors: M Easa Said
Published: September 2022

Online communication until now has involved only two of our senses: sight and hearing. However, research is emerging to communicate smell in numerous human-based applications. This paper reviews several general applications of smell, discusses the status of implementing smell to improve road safety, and presents other vital considerations. The general applications include smelling screens, mobile notifications, virtual reality, highway landscaping, outdoor environments, video games, and presentation technology. The road safety implementation addresses driver performance, smell effects on driver performance (cognitive and psychological), and two emerging in-vehicle smell systems (empathetic-car system and CO2 filtration system). Based on this review, can smell be used to improve road safety? The answer is Yes and No since some smell scents positively affect drivers, while others adversely affect them. Other considerations include digital smell technology (DST), driving simulator studies, and online resources. In particular, with the DST, it is possible to sense, transmit, and receive smell through the internet.

Home-cooked diets cost more than commercially prepared dry kibble diets for dogs with chronic enteropathies
Authors: Kratzer Gabriella R. , Shepherd Megan , Delaney Sean J. , Winston Jenessa A. , Rudinsky Adam J. , Parker Valerie J.
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE

Nutrition plays a fundamental role in the management of canine chronic enteropathies (CCEs). Dog owners may elect to feed home-cooked diets (HCDs) rather than veterinary commercially prepared diets (CPDs) because of perceived lower costs. There is a paucity of data comparing costs of these options. We hypothesize there will be differences in costs between complete and balanced HCDs and nutritionally comparable CPDs.

SAMPLE

6 Home-cooked diets.

PROCEDURES

Six HCD recipes (2 highly digestible, 2 limited antigen, 2 low-fat) were formulated by 2 board-certified veterinary nutritionists to mimic the nutritional and ingredient profiles of veterinary CPDs for management of CCEs. The cost (in US$ on a per 100 kilocalorie [kcal] basis) of each recipe was determined via collection of ingredient prices from 3 grocery stores combined with supplement prices from online retailers. Prices of CPDs were obtained from a national online retailer. Maintenance energy requirements of 1.6 X (70 X BWkg0.75), where BWkg represents body weight in kilograms, were calculated for 3 dog sizes (5, 20, and 40 kg), and costs of feeding maintenance energy requirements with HCDs versus dry and canned CPDs were compared with a Kruskal–Wallis test and post hoc testing.

RESULTS

The median costs of all dry and canned CPDs and HCDs were $0.29 (range, $0.18 to $0.46), $1.01 (range, $0.77 to $1.20), and $0.55 (range, $0.35 to $1.14), respectively. Feeding complete and balanced HCDs cost more than feeding dry CPDs (P < .001), but not canned CPDs (P > .99).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Dry CPDs cost the least for nutritional management of CCEs. There is a wide range of costs for both CPDs and HCDs.

The paper presents the deduction of a novel decoupled form (considering the differential current quantities) of the differential mathematical model in stator reference frame, useful for numeric simulation of control approaches for PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous machines) generalized for both IPMSM and SPMSM (salient and non-salient PMSM). The model is confirmed to be equivalent to the well-known model defined in the rotor synchronous reference frame using a Matlab-Simulink implementation that is verified and validated by simulation during which the power/energy conservation is monitored and the system states’ evolution is compared to the reference model in rotor reference frame using a generator structure.
Environmental Performance Evaluation for a Small Scale Trigeneration System
Authors: Neagu Bogdan-Constantin , Gavrilas Mihai , Tirsu Mihai , Covalenco Nicolae , Negura Ion
Published: September 2022

The modern buildings must have very high standards and require highly efficient energy supply systems due to space limitations for renewable installations. Electricity and thermal energy can be produced simultaneously with a photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) system. In the paper, an innovative concept of PVT system for a hospital is studied. PVT collectors serve as both a heat source and a heat sink for a reversible heat pump in the examined system. Due to the reduced electricity consumption from the network for heat rejection, the overall efficiency was improved by using a reversible water-to-water heat pump as heat and cold source compared to a conventional solar cooling system. Primary energy savings can be achieved with a maximum utilization of PV for electricity, heating and cooling (as air conditioning). The paper presents an original methodology for determining the environmental impact of the real PVT operation. The case study shows that for a real 4kWp PVT, the yearly energy savings reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with 281.8 kg/year for SO2 and 152.4 for CO2.

Published: September 2022

Diversity, abundance and distribution pattern of the fish fauna are important aspects that need to be considered in order to frame the conservation and management strategies in any water body. To assess the composition, diversity and relative abundance of the fish fauna in the Manasbal Lake of Kashmir, the present study was carried out for two years (March 2018 - February 2020). A total of 22522 fish specimens were netted out during the sampling period, and the relative abundance and various diversity indices were used to assess the overall diversity of the inhabiting fish fauna. A total of 7 species belonging to two families, Cyprinidae and Poeciliidae, were reported, of which the family Cyprinidae was dominant in the catch. The relative abundance and diversity of the fish fauna showed spatio-temporal variation wherein Pethia conchonius was most abundant during spring and winter, while Gambusia holbrooki was most abundant during summer and autumn. Cyprinus carpio was found to be abundant during all the seasons at Site II and Site III as compared to native cyprinids, Schizothorax niger and S. curvifrons. The current study also indicated a good fish diversity in the lake which varies on spatio-temporal scales, showing maximum diversity during winter (Hʹ =1.498) and minimum diversity during summer (Hʹ = 1.247), while Site II showed maximum diversity (Hʹ =1.369) and Site I showed minimum diversity (Hʹ =1.085). Overall lake possesses good fish diversity that could be a great source of income for the local populace provided the fish assemblages are sustainably managed.

Mucormycosis in the COVID-19 Era – A Natural Calamity or Man-Made Disaster? Current Evidence and Review of the Literature
Authors: Bhatia Mandip Singh , Attri Ritu , Singla Neeraj , Sharda Saurabh C
Published: September 2022

Mucormycosis is a potentially fatal disease caused by a fungus of the order Mucorales, most commonly involving the nasal sinuses, orbits, brain, lungs, and skin. The disease affects mostly immunosuppressed individuals and patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes. The prevalence of mucormycosis is 80 times higher (0.14 per 1000) in India compared to developed countries. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a sudden surge in the number of mucormycosis cases, especially on the Indian subcontinent. This can be attributed to what we consider to be the perfect iatrogenic recipe: a combination between the immunosuppression caused by COVID-19, the large prevalence of uncontrolled diabetes and the simultaneous use of corticosteroids. Other factors include the excessive use of antibiotics, antifungal drugs and zinc supplements, invasive ventilation, poor hygiene and sanitization as well as the use of industrial oxygen in hospitals. As a result, an overwhelmingly large number of COVID-19 patients have developed mucormycosis during the pandemic. A review of the literature suggests that all efforts should be made to keep tight control of glycemia in COVID-19 patients along with judicious use of corticosteroids. The treatment of mucormycosis involves a combination of medical and surgical therapy, with the early initiation of antifungal drugs and aggressive surgical debridement of the affected tissues.

Authors: Kobiałka Ewelina , Ćwiklak Janusz , Goś Artur
Published: September 2022

This paper presents results of numerical analyses of different bird models impacting a rigid plate. The results of the study were compared with findings derived from experimental research. The experimental studies were conducted using a dedicated gas gun kit. A gelatine projectile was used as a bird model, giving it a speed of 116 m/s. For the purpose of the numerical investigations, the authors used the LS-DYNA software package. It is a computational code for the analysis of fast-variable phenomena using different methods, such as Lagrange, Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler (ALE), Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). Three cylindrical bird models with different endings were developed using the SPH method. The shape of the end of the bird model was found to exert a significant effect on the Hugoniot pressure values. However, it does not affect the maximum value of the impact force. The differences only occurred at the initial moment of impact, which was related with the area of contact between the model end and the target.

The presence of the food estate program provides acceleration in its growth, but does it have a good impact on the performance of the institution. The purpose of this study was to described the institutional performance that supports FEI in food estate locations, analyze the dominant factors that affect FEI in food estate locations and formulate a strategy for operationally developing FEI at food estate locations. This study used a survey method with purposive sampling technique, obtained 40 farmers who are members of farmer institutions supporting the formation of FEI in the food estate of Pulang Pisau, Central Kalimantan. Data collection was carried out from February to May 2022. Data processing used descriptive techniques and Partial Least Square. The results show that the variables that have a strong influence on the institutional character are social aspects and profitability aspects, with the characteristics of its members being having a relatively low level of education and having fairly good business experience with good technical aspects but weak in managerial mastery.

In order to better protect emergency personnel, a suitable material was sought that would meet various requirements. To achieve this, a project was carried out by the Saxon Textile Research Institute e. V. (STFI), Germany and the Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University, Germany, called “Molotov cocktail protection – protective clothing material for emergency forces”. First, suitable fiber mixtures were selected and then tested for a high accuracy of fit. Afterwards, specially designed fabrics were developed and produced to realize a smooth surface. In addition, a coating for high hydrophobia was established. To examine these newly developed fabrics, a test procedure was developed and modified. Results show correlations between fiber selection as well as yarn and fabric construction with the resulting fabric properties. Findings can be given in the form of technological and product-related recommendations.

Perovskite-type oxhydrides such as BaTiO3−xHy exhibit mixed hydride ion and electron conduction and are an attractive class of materials for developing energy storage devices. However, the underlying mechanism of electric conductivity and its relation to the composition of the material remains unclear. Here we report detailed insights into the hydride local environment, the electronic structure and hydride conduction dynamics of barium titanium oxyhydride. We demonstrate that DFT-assisted solid-state NMR is an excellent tool for differentiating between the different feasible electronic structures in these solids. Our results indicate that upon reduction of BaTiO3 the introduced electrons are delocalized among all Ti atoms forming a bandstate. Furthermore, each vacated anion site is reoccupied by at most a single hydride, or else remains vacant. This single occupied bandstate structure persists at different hydrogen concentrations (y = 0.13−0.31) and a wide range of temperatures (∼ 100−300 K).
A Transferrable Range-Separated Force Field for Water: Combining the Power of Both Physically-Motivated Models and Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Yang Lan , Li Jichen , Chen Feiyang , Yu Kuang
Published: September 2022

An accurate, transferrable, and computationally efficient potential energy surface (PES) is of paramount importance for all molecular mechanics simulations. In this work, using water as example, we demonstrate how one can construct a reliable force field by combining the advantages of both physically-motivated and data-driven machine learning (ML) methods. Different to the existing water models based on many-body expansion, we adopt a separation scheme purely based on distances, and systematically investigate how the long-range asymptotic terms increase the transferability and the data efficiency of the ML potential. We also show how the ML model can be an ideal tool to fit the short-range interactions which used to post great challenges to the conventional physically-motivated force fields. The water force field we obtain is highly accurate and transferrable in different environments, and the distance-based separation scheme is easy to be extended to general molecular systems. Through this study, we show how the information we learn from small clusters can be extrapolated into larger systems, thus providing a general recipe for the intermolecular force field development at CCSD(T) level of theory in future.
Non-Gaussian distributions of absolute free energies in ensemble molecular dynamics simulations
Authors: Coveney Peter , Wan Shunzhou
Published: September 2022

Significantly more ‘outliers’ can be produced from a non-Gaussian distribution than one would anticipate were the statistics to conform to a normal distribution. Using ensemble simulations consisting of 25 replicas, we have previously identified a considerable percentage of ligand-protein systems which present non-Gaussian distributions in calculated binding free energies. Here we report on the statistics of much larger ensemble and find that the free energy distributions are definitively non-Gaussian for these systems.

В работе рассмотрены теория и практика возможности применения кредитно-денежной политики. Цель. Основной целью данной работы является определить, какую роль трансмиссионный механизм денежно-кредитной политики играет в экономике, экономической политике страны, что он из себя представляет и исследование возможности использования механизма кредитно-денежной политики, который опирается на следующие инструменты: ключевая ставка, норма обязательных резервов, операции на открытом рынке. Задачи. Показать важнейшую роль регулирующие и надзорные функции ЦБ РФ через Комитет банковского надзора, который имеет право: требовать от финансового учреждения устранения выявленных нарушений; взыскивать штрафные санкции в размере до 0,1% от величины минимального уставного капитала; ограничивать осуществление отдельных банковских операций на срок до полугода. Объектом исследования является процесс осуществление центральным банком регулирующей функции в современных условиях. Методология. Методологической основой исследования являются принципы системно-комплексного, детерминированного и каузального подходов в комплексе с принципом динамичности. Выводы. Повышение ключевой ставки может направить интерес экономических агентов в пользу размещения средств на депозитных счетах, что позволит привлечь средства в банковскую структуру и способствует стабилизацию экономической активности. Внешний спрос так же создает условия для высокого уровня потребления. Область применения результатов. Результаты исследования могут быть полезны банковским учреждениям, оно становится возможным лишь в рамках единой финансовой политики, включающей в себя, помимо монетарной, бюджетно-налоговую и долговую политику государства.
