Viral-Host Interactions and Immune Responses in HIV-Infected Infants: A Review
Authors: Obeagu Emmanuel Ifeanyi , Obeagu Getrude Uzoma
Published: July 2024

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection in infants presents distinctive challenges due to their developing immune systems and unique viral-host interactions compared to adults. This review examines current knowledge on viral-host interactions and immune responses in HIV-infected infants, focusing on immune development, viral dynamics, and therapeutic implications. The immune system of infants undergoes rapid maturation during early life, influencing their susceptibility to HIV infection and responses to antiretroviral therapy (ART). Key aspects include thymic function, cytokine profiles, and the establishment of immune memory, which collectively shape immune responses against HIV. Viral dynamics in HIV-infected infants differ markedly from those in adults, characterized by high viral loads, diverse viral subtypes, and the early establishment of viral reservoirs within immune cells. These reservoirs, particularly in sanctuary sites like the central nervous system, pose challenges for achieving viral eradication and long-term remission. Effective management requires strategies to characterize and target these reservoirs, alongside early intervention to mitigate viral replication and preserve immune function. Advances in viral monitoring technologies and treatment regimens are essential for improving clinical outcomes and reducing the global burden of pediatric HIV infection.

The Impact of Social Determinants of Health on Vaccination Uptake
Authors: Dave Pallav
Published: July 2024

This review sought to establish the impact of social determinants of health on vaccination uptake. The analysis established that the link between SDH and vaccination uptake is multifaceted with different factors affecting the uptake rates. For instance, economic stability affected vaccination uptake because it affected people’s ability to access insurance coverage or keep up with vaccination schedule. Healthcare access was also a key determinant factor to vaccination uptake. Lack of access limited individuals’ abilities to access vaccines. Other factors that played a role are education levels, social and community context, and built environment. The interaction between these factors contributed to disparities, inequities, and lower immunization rates. Addressing the disparities and inequities in vaccination uptake is important because it derails efforts that have already been made in addressing communicable diseases. It affects herd immunity, leads to strain of healthcare systems, and affects resource utilization. Due to these negative effects, it is important to take measures that can address the disparities. Collaboration with the community, policy reforms, and community interventions are some of the measures that can be used to increase uptake. These measures can address the underlying factors that cause disparities and affect vaccination uptake.

Citizen science and science communication: toward a more inclusive pattern?
Authors: Cagnoli Federica
Published: July 2024

Despite research calls in citizen science and science communication for more participatory approaches, practical attempts are uncommon. This practice insight focuses on a significant barrier to adopting a participatory approach — the lack of inclusion. In this project, I identified the barriers and determinants of inclusion through a literature review, and then I developed and tested a framework applicable to participatory science communication projects to determine if projects recognise and address inclusion considerations. I successfully tested the framework using reports from a European citizen science project. By considering inclusion criteria as essential for participatory science communication, this framework may help practitioners account for inclusion considerations during the design and monitoring stages of the project cycle.
A Spin-Optical Quantum Computing Architecture
Authors: de Gliniasty Grégoire , Hilaire Paul , Emeriau Pierre-Emmanuel , Wein Stephen C. , Salavrakos Alexia , Mansfield Shane
Published: July 2024

We introduce an adaptable and modular hybrid architecture designed for fault-tolerant quantum computing. It combines quantum emitters and linear-optical entangling gates to leverage the strength of both matter-based and photonic-based approaches. A key feature of the architecture is its practicality, grounded in the utilisation of experimentally proven optical components. Our framework enables the execution of any quantum error correcting code, but in particular maintains scalability for low-density parity check codes by exploiting built-in non-local connectivity through distant optical links. To gauge its efficiency, we evaluated the architecture using a physically motivated error model. It exhibits loss tolerance comparable to existing all-photonic architecture but without the need for intricate linear-optical resource-state-generation modules that conventionally rely on resource-intensive multiplexing. The versatility of the architecture also offers uncharted avenues for further advancing performance standards.
A New Outlook on the “History of the Mongols” by John de Plano Carpini
Authors: Drobyshev Yuliy I. ,   Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

Research objectives: This article analyzes a new edition of the book by the famous Franciscan ambassador to the Mongols, John de Plano Carpini (1182–1252), who made a long journey from Lyon to Central Mongolia in 1245–1247 where he witnessed the enthronement of the khagan, Guyuk (1246–1248). Following the results of his difficult and dangerous journey, he wrote a report “The History of the Mongols,” in which he described quite fully and accurately what he saw and heard. Research results and scientific novelty: The work of Plano Carpini was published in Russian three times: in 1795, 1825 and 1911; the last translation, made by A.I. Malein, was then published more than once and gradually overgrown with comments. However, all these editions cannot be considered fully satisfying the requirements of publishing medieval sources. The new edition in question here meets the standards of modern science. It includes an introductory part, a critical text of the source, its new translation into Russian and detailed comments made by professional medievalist historians. In the comments, various aspects of the Central Asian civilization of the XIII century, with which the Franciscan mission had a chance to come into contact, are covered as fully as possible: material and spiritual culture of nomads, organization of their society, military affairs and many others. Despite the high level of preparation of this publication, some points in it do not exclude an alternative interpretation.
Influence of Polyethylene Glycol and Methanol Additions on the Mechanical Alloying Behavior of Cu-4B4C Composite Powder
Authors: BIYIK SERKAN
Published: July 2024

This study investigated the effect of different process control agent (PCA) usage on mechanical alloying behavior of boron carbide (B4C) reinforced copper (Cu) based composite powder. For this purpose, elemental Cu and B4C powders were weighed and powder specimens were prepared with respect to appropriate mass ratios (96% Cu and 4% B4C). Two different PCA additives, namely polyethylene glycol (PEG) and methanol, were also used to prepare powder samples. The amount of PCA was kept constant at 5wt.% for both specimen. These prepared powder samples were then milled using a planetary type ball-mill. After specified milling periods, milling runs were interrupted and powder samples were extracted from the milling vials for further powder characterization including powder morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and average particle size (APS) via laser diffraction analysis (Mastersizer). Accordingly, after the completion of milling runs, namely 15 hours of ball-milling, methanol addition was found much more effective at reducing particle sizes than PEG. Final APS values for powder specimens having PEG and methanol as PCAs were determined to be 8.237 and 4.101 microns, respectively.
Malware Detection Using Hidden Markov Model
Authors: Christopher . L. U ,   Department of Computer Science University of Ibadan Ibadan, Nigeria., Ayorinde I. T.
Published: July 2024

Malware is a broad term for harmful software that poses significant threats by damaging computer systems and spreading across networks. Traditional detection methods include signature-based and heuristic-based techniques, which are effective against known malware but struggle with new, unknown variants, particularly sophisticated ones like metamorphic, encrypted, and polymorphic viruses. Hence, this research aims at improving malware detection, specifically targeting metamorphic malware that can evade traditional detection methods. The study shows the effectiveness of dynamic analysis over static analysis for detecting metamorphic malware due to its ability to adapt to the malware's constant changes. The dynamic analysis involves examining malware behavior during execution, using dynamic software birthmarks and the Hidden Markov Model to identify malicious activities. It therefore recommends the use of dynamic analysis in the detection of patterns of metamorphic malware. Keywords: Hidden markov models, Malware detection, Dynamic analysis and Static analysis
The effect of burnable absorbers on criticality and reactivity coefficient of VVER-1000 assembly
Authors: Zuhair Z , Luthfi Wahid , Isnaini Muhammad , Sriyono S , Suwoto S
Published: July 2024

Burnable absorbers play an important role in nuclear reactor safety and
exploring their effect on the reactor core behavior is an important issue in
the design and operation of the reactor core. The aim of the present work
was to discover the effect of burnable absorbers on criticality and
reactivity coefficient of VVER-1000 assembly. The calculations were
conducted with a 3-D Monte Carlo transport code MCNP6 and ENDF/B-VII.1
nuclear library. The Gd2O3 content varying from 0 wt.% to 8 wt.% was
considered to complete the inter-comparison analysis between the criticality
and the reactivity coefficients for three UO2+Gd2O3 fuel configurations.
At the beginning of the cycle, there is a significant difference between the
criticality (kinf) of assembly with and without Gd2O3, however, at the
middle of the cycle those differences become very small and almost
the same at the end of the cycle. The Doppler temperature
coefficient values are always sufficiently negative and demonstrate a more
negative trend with increasing gadolinium concentrations and fuel burnup.
At beginning of the cycle, the moderator temperature coefficient value
increases negatively as gadolinium concentration increases but, at middle
of the cycle this trend does not occur. The fuel composition is predicted to
be the reason behind this situation. At the end of cycle, there is no clear
trend in the moderator temperature coefficient values with respect to Gd2O3
concentration. The absorbing effect of Gd2O3 appears to have diminished
significantly. Overall, this research provides insights into the influence
of the burnable absorbers on the neutronic parameters of the VVER-1000
assembly and its contribution to reactor safety.

Published: July 2024

This paper presents the thermoluminescence properties of K2GdF5:Tb material
irradiated in a reference neutron-gamma field and its possibility to be used
in neutron dosimetry. Double fluoride of K2GdF5 doped with 10 at% Tb3+
ions was synthesized under solid-state reaction conditions and
irradiated in the reference neutron-gamma field of 241Am-Be
source. The thermoluminescence glow curves were measured by the Rexon
UL-320 TLD reader connected with the WinRex-320 processing program for
obtaining the integrated thermoluminescence signals (counts). The results
show that the temperature peaks of the irradiated K2GdF5:Tb material
concerning the gamma and neutron fields at the distance of 100 cm from the
source are at 230?C and 300?C, respectively. The sensitivity
ratios of fast-to-thermal neutron and gamma-to-thermal neutron are 6.3 %
and 18.2 %, respectively. The batch homogeneity and reproducibility are less
than 30 % and 7.5 %, respectively. The linearity is less than 10 % in the
dose range of less than 24 mSv. The detection threshold is less than 0.1
mSv, and the fading is 10.7 % after 90 days of irradiation. These
thermoluminescence properties of K2GdF5:Tb material considerably satisfy
the requirements to be used in neutron dosimetry.

LaFeO3 (LFO) is commonly used as a material for gas sensor applications. However, the LFO material in ethanol gas sensor applications can still improve sensitivity and selectivity parameters. Gadolinium (Gd) doping is widely used in gas sensor applications to increase the sensitivity of gas sensors. In addition, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) materials are commonly used in gas sensor applications to increase gas sensors' selectivity, sensitivity, and working temperature. This study analyzed the effect of Gd doping (LGFO) and the addition of an rGO single layer on LFO material (LGFO@rGO) on sensitivity and selectivity based on the adsorption energy of the system with ethanol gas molecules. Density Functional Theory studies were conducted to yield insight into the LGFO or LGFO@rGO – ethanol gas interactions and the sensitivity and selectivity improvement by changing adsorption energy. Based on the analysis, the presence of Gd doping and single-layer rGO could increase the adsorption energy. The addition of the rGO layer showed an escalation of the adsorption energy of about 9.45%, 2.49 eV in the LGFO to -2.75 eV LGFO@rGO. This improved adsorption capacity translates to a higher sensitivity for detecting lower concentrations of ethanol gas. This result shows the potential of LGFO and LGFO@rGO as ethanol gas sensor materials.

Los servicios soportados por la tecnología de videostreaming son los que más tráfico generan sobre las redes móviles. Una de las formas de hacer frente a esta situación, es mediante el uso de protocolos adaptativos, que permiten adecuar el tráfico del servicio a las condiciones de la red para mantener las condiciones de calidad. Por lo que surge el protocolo de transmisión adaptable y dinámica sobre HTTP (DASH - Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). En este artículo se aplica el algoritmo adaptativo para streaming HTTP AAASH (Adaptation Algorithm for Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) en los clientes de una red móvil celular. Se presentan las condiciones del escenario de experimentación y el algoritmo se ejecuta en diferentes escenarios incrementando la cantidad de usuarios que consumen video mediante DASH de manera simultánea. AAASH muestra ser adecuado, puesto que se obtienen parámetros de calidad de servicio los cuales satisfacen los requerimientos.

El crecimiento exponencial del tráfico de datos ha generado una presión en las infraestructuras de redes móviles existentes, que se ven desafiadas a proporcionar una experiencia de usuario satisfactoria. Por tanto, este artículo aborda la construcción de una red móvil utilizando tecnología de código abierto como Mosaic5G y el análisis de métricas objetivas de calidad de experiencia (QoE) de un servicio de videostreaming. Durante el proceso, se estableció un servidor y un cliente para la transmisión de video, se programaron tarjetas SIM para el acceso a la red y se utilizó la herramienta FFmpeg para obtener métricas objetivas de QoE. Los resultados revelaron la robustez de las tecnologías de software libre en la construcción de redes móviles funcionales y su capacidad para brindar una QoE buena para el servicio más demandado y con mayor consumo de ancho de banda mediante los codificadores de video H.264 y H.265.

This paper describes the optimization procedure of a two-dimensional multi-element hydrofoil shape during its design for small horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbines using response surface methodology. JavaFoil software was used for describing the hydrofoil performance under several combinations of geometrical parameters, such as the horizontal space (overlap), h, between the drag edge of the main element and the leading edge of the second element; the vertical distance (gap), d, of the flap from the main element trailing edge; and the flap deflection angle, 𝜹. Different experimental designs aiming at the maximization of the lift-to-drag ratio were used. The maximal lift-to-drag ratio was found to be 69.9626 for 𝒅, 𝒉 and 𝜹 equal to 2.0%, 18.4619% and 20°, respectively, being 𝜹 the factor exerting a considerable influence on the response variable. Key words. Hydrokinetic turbine, hydrofoil optimization, response surface methodology, design of experiments

The electronic arbitration is applied by the agreement of the arbitration parties to submit their disputes arising from contracts concluded by electronic means to a third party to decide them according to based on the parties' agreement, by modern communicating means and electronic technologies different from traditional means used in traditional arbitration. The electronic arbitration will be international, if the legal relation which is the subject-matter of the arbitration, is a legal relation interspersed with a foreign element. Or a special international contractual relation. It is worth-bearing in mind that although Iraq did not issue an international electronic arbitration law, but this study tried hard to determine the applicable law to both the procedures and the subject of the international electronic arbitration in conformity with the legal provisions available in the Iraqi law. We tried hard, in order to perform this legal institutionalization, to resort to some texts of the  Iraqi Civil Law No. (40) of 1951, the law of civil procedures No. (83) of 1969, and the law of the electronic signature and electronic bargains No. 78 of 2012.

Quality control charts are based on data that is also used for various statistical analyses, such as regression, time series analysis, and other types of analyses. This implies that the data used to create these charts may contain outliers, potentially compromising their accuracy. To eliminate any potential noise or pollution from the data, a researcher proposed using wavelet shrinkage with a threshold and comparing the resulting data with Shewart's individual chart. Based on this, a new quality control chart was proposed and built using a universal approach for assessing the level of thresholding, representing the individual chart for wavelet haar with soft and hard thresholding. Following that, a comparison was performed between them as well as with Shewart's individual chart. This letter's most significant conclusion is that, in addition to using two real data points—triglyceride, which was recorded by a laboratory blood analyzer in Al-Jumhuri and at the specialized Center for Cardiology Hospital in Erbil Governorate—it may be possible to use wavelet shrinkage with a threshold to address issues of noise or pollution when Shewart's individual chart was made and used. Moreover, the wavelet method effectively reduces deviation, as demonstrated in both sets of data.
