Published: August 2024

Computational predictions of vaporization properties aid the de novo design of green chemicals, including clean alternative fuels, working fluids for efficient thermal energy recovery, and polymers that are easily degradable and recyclable. Here, we developed chemically explainable graph attention networks to predict five physical properties pertinent to performance in utilizing renewable energy: heat of vaporization (HoV), critical temperature, flash point, boiling point, and liquid heat capacity. The predictive model for HoV was trained using ~150,000 data points, considering their uncertainties and temperature dependence. Next, this model was expanded to the other properties through transfer learning to overcome the limitations due to fewer data points (700-7,500). The chemical interpretability of the model was then investigated, demonstrating that the model explains molecular structural effects on vaporization properties. Finally, the developed predictive models were applied to design chemicals that have desirable properties as efficient and green working fluids, fuels, and polymers, enabling fast and accurate screening before experiments.
Precise estimation of activation energies in gas-phase chemical reactions via artificial neural network
Authors: Cao Guo-Jin , Lu Sheng-Jie
Published: August 2024

Various machine learning (ML) models are presented in this study, aiming to forecast the barrier heights (BHs) of gas-phase chemical reactions. The input features utilized in six distinct models were obtained from the structural and thermodynamic attributes of molecules, encompassing enthalpy, topological indices, and Morgan fingerprints derived from SMILES, using a dataset consisting of 5040 decomposition reaction records sourced from the Gas Phase Organic Chemistry database. Evaluating the effectiveness of the models included the application of essential metrics such as coefficient of determination, mean absolute error, and root mean square error. It is worth noting that artificial neural networks outperform the other models in this regard. Then we utilized Morgan fingerprints of different dimensions as inputs for the neural network models and conducted training with varying numbers of hidden layers. This endeavor led to slight improvements in the performance of gas-phase decomposition reactions, resulting in an average determination coefficient of 0.965 and a mean absolute error of 0.079 eV. Subsequently, the model was subjected to retraining using a comprehensive dataset comprising a wide range of chemical reactions. The results indicate that the artificial neural network approach has the capacity to generalize and adjust to a wider range of chemical reactions.

Published: August 2024

Structural- and functional heterogeneity, as well as allosteric regulation, in homo-monomeric enzymes is a highly active area of research. One such enzyme is human nuclear-associated deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase), which has emerged as an interesting drug target in combination therapy with traditional nucleotide analogue treatment of cancer. We report, for the first time, a full structural dynamics study of human dUTPase by NMR. dUTPase has been investigated in terms of structural dynamics in its apo form, in complex with the modified substrate resistant to hydrolysis, 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-a,b-imido-triphosphate (dUpNHpp), as well as the product, 2'-deoxy-uridine-monophosphate (UMP). The apo form of the enzyme displayed slow dynamics in the milli- to microsecond regime in relaxation dispersion experiments, which was further slowed down to observable heterogeneity upon substrate-analogue binding. The results suggest that the non-hydrolysable substrate-analogue traps the enzyme in the conformational isomerization step that has been previously suggested to be part of the enzyme catalysis kinetics cycle. The observed heterogeneity fits well with the pattern expected to emerge from the suggested kinetic model, and no evidence for homotropic allosterism was found. The heatmaps of the slow dynamics, chemical shift perturbation upon substrate binding and conserved regions of the enzyme sequence all displayed a similar pattern, which suggests that the structural dynamics is finely tuned and important for the biological function of the enzyme for binding, conformational shift, catalysis and substrate release.

Published: August 2024

A living cell has a highly complex microenvironment whereas numerous enzyme-driven processes are active at once. These procedures are incredibly accurate and efficient, although comparable control has not yet been established in vitro. Here, we design an enzymatic reaction network (ERN) that combines antagonistic and orthogonal enzymatic networks to produce adjustable dynamics of ATP-fueled transient coacervation. Using horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated Biocatalytic Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (BioATRP), we synthesized poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA), which subsequently formed coacervates with ATP. We rationally explored enzymatic control over coacervation and dissolution, using orthogonal and antagonistic enzyme pairs viz., alkaline phosphatase, Creatine phosphokinase, hexokinase, glucose oxidase, and urease. ATP-fuelled coacervates also demonstrate the enzymatic catalysis to prove its potential to be exploited as a cellular microreactor. Additionally, we developed biocatalytic polymerization-induced coacervation (BioPIC), improving reaction yield and producing coacervates with distinct characteristics. This method allows in situ and real-time programming over coacervation through BioATRP-controlled polymerization. The strategy offers cutting-edge biomimetic applications and insights into cellular compartmentalization by bridging the gap between synthetic and biological systems. The development of temporally programmed coacervation may lead to the spatial arrangement of multienzyme cascades and offer novel ideas on the architecture of artificial cells with organelles

Published: August 2024

Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) imaging is a potent analytical tool that provides spatially resolved chemical information of surfaces at the microscale. However, the hyperspectral nature of ToF-SIMS datasets constitutes can be challenging to analyze and interpret. Both supervised and unsupervised Machine Learning (ML) approaches are increasingly useful to help analyze ToF-SIMS data. Random Forest (RF) has emerged as a robust and powerful algorithm for processing mass spectrometry data. This machine learning approach offers several advantages, including the accommodating non-linear relationships, robustness to outliers in the data, managing the high-dimensional feature space, and mitigating the risk of overfitting. The application of RF to ToF-SIMS imaging facilitates the classification of complex chemical compositions and the identification of features contributing to these classifications. This tutorial aims to assist non-experts in either machine learning or ToF-SIMS to apply Random Forest to complex ToF-SIMS datasets.

Published: August 2024

Background Pus is a yellow-to-white fluid comprised of dead WBCs cellular debris and necrotic tissue that is produced following trauma burn injuries surgical procedures by the human skin and soft tissue Infections SSTI. Methicillin resistance first reported in 1960 has become a devastating cause of infection in hospitals and intensive care units that is now being noted even in healthy individuals through nosocomial and community acquired routes. Coagulase negative Staphylococci CoNS strains such as S. epidermidis S. haemolyticus are some of the opportunistic pathogens that are also responsible for nosocomial and community acquired infections worldwide.Methods The samples were collected prior to the start of antibiotic therapy. Preferably two swabs were collected. Aspirates biopsy specimen was also collected as an alternative to swabs. The standard operating procedure for processing pus samples aerobically was followed. The samples were subjected to microscopy culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing by Kirby Bauerrsquos method. Special reference was given to the susceptibility of each Staphylococcus speciesrsquo resistance towards methicillin.Results Out of the 50 samples processed aerobically 96 showed growth. Out of the 96 samples that exhibited growth 45.83 were S. aureus and 22.91 were Coagulase Negative S. aureus CoNS. Among the species of S. aureus 17 were Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA and 1 were MRCoNS.Conclusion Pyogenic wound infections in a tertiary care hospital requires strict monitoring of the patients infected with drug resistant strains like MRSA and strict patient care should be followed till the patient recovers completely. Prior to starting treatment in pyogenic infections it is very important to screen the isolated organisms for the prevalent multi drug resistant mechanisms and then consider the empirical therapy.

Published: August 2024

Ongoing viral transcription from the reservoir of HIV-1 infected long-lived memory CD4+T cells presents a barrier to cure and associates with poorer health outcomes for people living with HIV, including chronic immune activation and inflammation. We previously reported that didehydro-cortistatin A (dCA), an HIV-1 Tat inhibitor, blocks HIV-1 transcription. Here, we examine the impact of dCA on host immune CD4+T-cell transcriptional and epigenetic states. We performed a comprehensive analysis of genome-wide transcriptomic and DNA methylation profiles upon long-term dCA treatment of primary human memory CD4+T cells. dCA prompted specific transcriptional and DNA methylation changes in cell cycle, histone, interferon-response, and T-cell lineage transcription factor genes, through inhibition of both HIV-1 and Mediator kinases. These alterations establish a tolerogenic Treg/Th2 phenotype, reducing viral gene expression and mitigating inflammation in primary CD4+T cells during HIV-1 infection. In addition, dCA suppresses the expression of lineage-defining transcription factors for Th17 and Th1 cells, critical HIV-1 targets, and reservoirs. dCA’s benefits thus extend beyond viral transcription inhibition, modulating the immune cell landscape to limit HIV-1 acquisition and inflammatory environment linked to HIV infection.

Published: August 2024

Modeling and linguistic representation in the form Interval Type-2 Fuzzy have better accuracy than Type-1 Fuzzy. The type-2 fuzzy set involves more uncertainty than the type-1 fuzzy set. The degree of fuzzy membership is used to explain uncertainty and ambiguity in the real world. This study presents the type-2 Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) method to determine the weight of each attribute based on the level of interest and the extension method of type-2 Fuzzy TOPSIS to handle problems based on the value of the fuzzy type-2 attribute. Decision-making is based on the assessment of several experts called Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making (MCGDM), using type-2 Fuzzy geometric mean aggregation function. The membership function in this research is type-2 fuzzy based on the trapezoid. The contribution is a hybrid method Type-2 Fuzzy TOPSIS with Fuzzy Type-2 ANP group-based with new metric intervals on fuzzy type-2 for decision making. The results are a hybrid type-2 FANP and FTOPSIS decision-making model to support the best decision-making.

Reliability of Goniometric Techniques for Measuring Hip Flexor Length Using the Modified Thomas Test
Authors: Eimiller Kira , Stoddard Emma , Janes Briana , Smith Mason , Vincek Andrew
Published: August 2024

Background

The modified Thomas test (MTT) is commonly used to assess the flexibility of hip musculature, including the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and tensor fascia latae. This measurement is important to include in a comprehensive musculoskeletal examination. However, existing research shows conflicting results regarding its reliability, particularly due to variations in controlling pelvic tilt during testing, which may lead to inaccurate measurements of hip extension when quantifying the test outcomes.

Purpose/Hypothesis

This study aimed to evaluate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Modified Thomas Test (MTT) in assessing hip flexor length using a goniometer. It was hypothesized that controlling for pelvic tilt would enhance the reliability of these measurements.

Study Design

Intra- and inter-rater reliability study

Methods

Sixty-four healthy individuals were recruited to participate in this study. The MTT was performed twice on each leg by both an experienced and a student physical therapist. Blinded goniometric measurements for hip extension range of motion (ROM) in the MTT position were taken with neutral pelvic tilt being enforced via palpation. A double-blind protocol was used where both examiners were unaware of each other’s measurements and the goniometer was covered to blind the measuring therapist to the values as well. ROM values were entered into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and quantified using SPSS software. Statistical analysis included calculating Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) and Standard Errors of Measurement (SEMs) using SPSS software.

Results

The study included 64 participants (mean age = 23.7 ± 4.34 years). The MTT demonstrated high intra-rater reliability (ICC = 0.911) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.851). The SEMs indicated minimal variability around the mean scores. The average hip extension ROM measured was 5.43± 9.73 degrees.

Conclusion

These results suggest that the MTT is a reliable tool for assessing hip flexor length in clinical practice, particularly when pelvic tilt is controlled. These results have important implications for accurately testing orthopedic limitations that can contribute to low back, hip, and knee pain.

Physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in the treatment of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. With significant advancements in mechatronics, orthotic devices have garnered interest across various sectors, including medicine and industry. Orthotic devices are external wearable machines powered by electric motors and can be applied to different body parts such as upper and lower limbs, heels, or toes, serving various purposes including rehabilitation, power assistance, diagnostics, monitoring, and ergonomics. However, existing wearable devices suffer from issues related to size, cost, and weight, being bulky, expensive, and heavy. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to design a portable, lightweight, and cost-effective rehabilitation system for individuals with a paralyzed leg, leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed wearable device, utilizing a PIC microcontroller, aims to monitor and control the lower limb and toes. Additionally, the inclusion of accelerometer and electromyography (EMG) sensors enhances the functionality of the device, allowing for precise movement monitoring and muscle activity detection. By integrating IoT capabilities, users can perform specific movements and exercises tailored to train the patient's impaired leg remotely, gradually restoring its functionality. This paper bridges the gap between traditional rehabilitation methods and modern IoT-enabled technology, offering a versatile solution for individuals with paralyzed legs. The lightweight and portable nature of the device, coupled with its affordability, makes it accessible to a wider demographic, potentially revolutionizing the fields of physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Increasing The Current Output Of High-Temperature-Superconducting Transformer-Rectifier Circuits
Authors:   , Rice James
Published: August 2024

Superconducting power supplies – sometimes referred to as ‘flux pumps’ – are devices which can generate large dc currents in superconducting electromagnets. They operate from within the cryogenic environment of the magnet, which precludes the need for current leads to a room-temperature current supply. The use of superconducting power supplies is especially important for electromagnets that utilize high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wire. Since fully-superconducting joints between HTS wires are currently still impractical, solder joints with finite resistance are necessary. Resistive losses prevent the operation of HTS magnets in a persistent current mode (PCM), as current decays too quickly to be of practical use. Instead, the current in the magnet must be maintained by a power supply in a quasi-persistent current mode (qPCM).

Broadly, there are two categories of superconducting power supply: the travelling-wave topology and the transformer-rectifier. Transformer-rectifiers are superconducting circuit devices. A transformer injects ac current into a superconducting rectifier circuit to produce a dc current output. It has the advantages of higher efficiency at a wider range of current outputs. The separation of circuit components also allows for more detailed understanding and predictable scaling. For this reason, it is identified as a useful approach to powering HTS magnets with large currents. This thesis explores the challenges in producing a HTS transformer-rectifier circuit with as much current output as possible. Specifically, a goal of 10 kA is identified as relevant to large-scale applications of high-field, HTS magnets. To date, no other studies have given a comprehensive understanding of the full-wave HTS transformer-rectifier. Here, device performance and operation is approached first using circuit theory. An experimental device is presented to validate theoretical expectations and identify avenues to higher current output. A pair of studies are presented on the individual switch and transformer components in the circuit, with recommendations given for future devices. These works identify a number of advantages on offer by the full-wave circuit. Specifically, a non-commutative operation method is found that can increase the current output of the circuit by an order of magnitude. Finally, these studies are used to provide a design methodology for specifying the electrical circuit required for a given application. A 10 kA HTS transformer-rectifier is designed for use with fusion energy magnets.

From these studies, full-wave HTS transformer-rectifiers can be approached from a more practical perspective. The design methodology presented can be applied to almost any HTS magnet application. Future studies can leverage such findings to rapidly prototype transformer-rectifiers for a specific magnet system.

Grounded in a qualitative research design, this study focuses on the Maslahah Family Movement in Pekalongan City and Batang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were garnered through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed employing Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis. Study findings demonstrate that the GKMNU was a pioneering step in building an empowered, qualified, and harmonious family with the principles of maslahah (goodness). The GKMNU in Pekalongan City concentrated more on strengthening education, training, and family counseling, whereas the GKMNU in Batang Regency emphasized aspects of economic literacy. Neither of them did not address issues on welfare, health, and economic empowerment. The problem movement’s performance needs to be optimized regarding participation, management, and program quality even though the construction of maslahah families represents a tangible expression of maqasid al-sharia and as a way of expediting development goals. The theoretical implications of this study support the notion that the maslahah family plays a crucial role in ensuring the achievement of sustainable development goals. The study also provides practical insights into policy and program development that enhances families’ endeavors to participate as agents of change in the direction of the SDGs. This study advances the synergy of integrative Islamic studies, integrating family concerns, Islamic legal principles, and political development strategies in the context of implementing the SDGs through the maqasid al-sharia-based maslahah family program.

The present study aims to explore the depth of conflict of legal norms between the Sharia Economic Law Compilation (KHES), Financial Authority Services (OJK) regulations, and the National Sharia Board of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) fatwas, investigate the causes of this normative divergence, and explore harmonization strategies to create legal certainty for Sharia financial institutions in Indonesia. Designed with normative legal research methodology, this study garnered data through literature review and analyzes it using interpretation method. Study findings demonstrate that there are eighteen different norms in the three regulations, with some differences resulting in conflict. The causes of these conflicts vary, including the use of ambiguous terms, adoption of conventional definitions, errors in translation of terms, and inconsistencies in concept development. In addition, the concurrent application of rules, differences in terminology, time gaps in issuance, and overlapping authorities also contribute to disharmony. This research contributes by offering a comprehensive solution, which includes identifying the sources of disharmony, harmonizing concepts and definitions, and applying legal interpretation and construction methods. This approach addresses the discrepancies and create a harmonious normative balance in policy and regulation. The implications of this research are very significant for Sharia financial institutions in Indonesia, as it identifies conflicts of legal norms between KHES, OJK regulations, and DSN-MUI fatwas and explores harmonization strategies

Serbia-China Economic Cooperation: A Balance of Payments Perspective

The more intensive economic presence of China in the Balkan, within the Belt and Road Initiative, has influenced China to become one of Serbia's most significant economic partners. The more dynamic economic cooperation between these economies is evident both from the perspective of foreign trade and capital flows. The focus of this study is to determine how the intensified economic cooperation between Serbia and China reflects on the domestic balance of payments position. Research results suggest that the growing economic cooperation of the observed economies negatively affects the domestic balance of payments position, both in terms of trade in goods and services and in terms of the income account sub-balance. At the same time, the increasing inflow of capital, primarily based on foreign direct investment from China, has provided financing for a significant portion of Serbia's current account deficit over the past few years. However, the ultimate effects on Serbia's balance of payments position will largely depend on whether Chinese investments in the coming period will further deepen the deficit in the primary income account.

Authors: Akyuwen Rory Jeff , Labetubun Muchtar Anshary Hamid , Soplantila Senly
Published: August 2024

The ownership of trademark rights is a fundamental component of industrial property rights within the broader spectrum of intellectual property law. Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Marks and Geographical Indications, specifically Article 20, mandates that brand naming must not contravene state ideology, statutory regulations, religious morality, decency, or public order. This study seeks to critically examine and analyse trademarks deemed inappropriate because they violate existing legislative provisions. Certain trademarks utilised by business entities infringe upon societal standards of decency by engaging in sexual commodification. The research adopts a juridical-normative methodology, incorporating both legislative and conceptual frameworks. The legal materials examined include primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, which are qualitatively analysed to address the research questions. The findings reveal that sexual commodification in trademark naming, characterised by the exploitation of pornography, violates religious norms and societal decency. Therefore, such trademarks are not eligible for registration. Furthermore, any trademarks that have been registered and are found to contain elements of sexual commodification may be subject to revocation, as they conflict with state ideology, legislation, religious morality, decency, and public order.
