Voltage Regulation in Second-Order Dc-Dc Converters Via the Inverse Optimal Control Design with Proportional-Integral Action
Authors: Gómez-Chitiva Juan Sebastián , Escalante-Sarrias Andrés Felipe , Montoya Oscar Danilo
Published: November 2022

This article addresses the problem regarding power regulation in classical DC-DC second-order converters by means of a nonlinear control technique based on inverse optimal control theory. There are few papers that describe inverse optimal control for DC-DC converters in the literature. Therefore, this study constitutes a contribution to the state of the art on nonlinear control techniques for DC-DC converters. In this vein, the main objective of this research was to implement inverse optimal control theory with integral action to the typical DC-DC conversion topologies for power regulation, regardless of the load variations and the application. The converter topologies analyzed were: (i) Buck; (ii) Boost; (iii) Buck-Boost; and (iv) Non-Inverting Buck-Boost. A dynamical model was proposed as a function of the state variable error, which helped to demonstrate that the inverse optimal control law with proportional-integral action implemented in the different converters ensures stability in each closed-loop operation via Lyapunov’s theorem. Numerical validations were carried out by means of simulations in the PSIM software, comparing the established control law, the passivity-based PI control law, and an open-loop control. As a conclusion, it was possible to determine that the proposed model is easier to implement and has a better dynamical behavior than the PI-PBC, ensuring asymptotic stability from the closed-loop control design.

Published: November 2022

One of the alternatives for the optimization of livestock systems is the implementation of technologies such as the production of silage, hays, and hydroponic green fodder (FVH). This study sought to implement a hydroponic system to produce FVH of rice (O. Sativa), unconventional grass for animal feed, in conditions of low temperature and high humidity, varying between 17 °C y 24 °C y 60 % y 80 %, respectively. The agronomic evaluation had a duration of 38 days for the main crop (CP) and 21 days for the soca (CS). The seeds used were watered manually, applying fertilizers from day 21 post-sowing; besides, were selected, disinfected, and subjected to pre-germination. A quantitative descriptive analysis was carried out, linear regression models were used. The variables evaluated in CP and CS were total height (cm), stem height (cm), main leaf length (cm), leaf/stem relation and quantity of leaf/seedling. The constant growth of the seedlings was observed until day 26 post-sowing; then, it was found that the growth in height was minimum. Regarding CS, regrowth was found in some scattered areas of the root mat, reaching a height lower than that recorded in the CP, where premature death of seedlings was evidenced. Could be concluded, finally, that in the environmental conditions of the experiment biomass and height yield is low; nevertheless, the nutritional composition of O. sativa indicates that the implementation of hydroponics allows proposing the production of FVH from this grass as a promising alternative in animal feed.

Intestinal obstruction caused by acute perforated appendicitis misdiagnosed as Hirschsprung’s disease in a 31-month-old boy
Authors: Nam So-Hyun
Published: November 2022

Symptomatic abdominal distension in young children requires a differential diagnosis, such as overeating, constipation or surgical emergency. If the distension is associated with intestinal obstruction, clinicians should determine the cause, such as adhesion, hernia, tumor or inflammatory lesions. Herein, the author reports a case of intestinal obstruction caused by acute perforated appendicitis. A 31-month-old boy was referred with a 10-day history of abdominal distension and a presumptive diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s disease. He had undergone an unsuccessful enema. Initial plain radiography and computed tomography showed severely dilated bowel loops with the colon collapsed. During laparotomy, the perforated appendix was found attached to the retroperitoneum and mesentery, which resulted in ileal stenosis with ischemia. The author resected 10 cm of the ileum, and performed ileocecectomy. Postoperatively, the boy recovered uneventfully, except wound seroma. Due to the low incidence and vague symptoms, it is difficult to diagnose intestinal obstruction caused by appendicitis, particularly in young children. This case may serve as a reminder that acute perforated appendicitis can cause sudden onset of intestinal obstruction in young children without a history of surgery.
Regulation of Immune Cell Functions by Bile Acid-Activated Receptors
Authors: CHEUNG Chat Pan Kenneth , MA Jiao , Loiola Rodrigo , CHEN Xingxuan , JIA Wei
Published: November 2022

Bile Acid-Activated Receptors (BARs) such as a G-protein-coupled
receptor (TGR5) and the farnesol X receptor (FXR) activated by bile
acids (BAs) are implicated in the regulation of microbiota-host immunity
in the intestine, as well as in dendritic cells, macrophages and T
cells. The mechanistic roles of these receptors in immune signaling
suggest they may also influence the development of metabolic disorders.
In this perspective, we provide a summary of recent literature reports
describing the main regulatory pathways and mechanisms of BARs and how
they affect immune cell proliferation, activation, and signaling in the
context of inflammatory diseases.
Thromboembolic events in patients with influenza. A scoping review.
Authors: Cascio Antonio , Rubino Raffaella , Imburgia Claudia , Bonura Silvia , Trizzino Marcello , Iaria Chiara
Published: November 2022

IIntroduction: Influenza is an acute respiratory infection that usually
causes a short-term and self-limiting illness. In high-risk populations,
this can lead to several complications with an increase in mortality.
Several studies have investigated the relationship between influenza and
acute cardio and cerebrovascular events. Reviews of the thromboembolic
complications associated with influenza are lacking. Objectives: the
study aims to conduct a scoping review to analyze the epidemiological
and clinical characteristics of patients suffering from influenza and
thromboembolic complications. Materials and methods: A computerized
search of historical published cases using PubMed and the terms
“influenza” or “flu” and “thrombosis” or “embolism” or
“thromboembolism” or “stroke” or “infarct” was conducted. Only
articles reporting detailed data on patients with thromboembolic
complications of laboratory-confirmed influenza were considered eligible
for inclusion. Results: 57 cases with laboratory documented influenza A
or B and a related intravascular thrombosis were retrieved. Their
characteristics were analyzed along with that of a patient who motivated
our search. The localizations of thrombo-embolic events were pulmonary
embolism 21/58 (36.2 %), DVT 12/58 (20.6 %), DVT and pulmonary
embolism 3/58 (5.1 %), acute ischemic stroke 11/58 (18.9 percent),
arterial thrombosis 4/58 (6.8 percent), and acute myocardial infarction
5/58. (8.6 %). Discussion: Our findings are important in clarifying
which thromboembolic complications are more frequent in adults and
children with influenza. Symptoms of pulmonary embolism and influenza
can be very similar, so a careful clinical evaluation is required for
proper patient management, possible instrumental deepening, and
appropriate pharmacological interventions, especially for patients with
respiratory failure.

Published: November 2022

Selenium (Se) can reduce the uptake and translocation of cadmium (Cd) in
plants in a number of ways, including the regulation of root morphology.
However, the actual mechanisms underlying the regulation of root
morphology and root exudates by Se are unknown. To explore the action of
Se in root systems, we investigated the effect of Se on root exudates,
root morphology, root endogenous hormones, and Cd uptake using a
non–invasive micro–test technique and a conjunction analysis of the
transcriptome and metabolome in a hydroponically grown rice variety
(Yong you No.9). The results showed that selenite (Se(IV)) significantly
reduced Cd concentrations in the shoots and roots, and reduced Cd uptake
efficiency in rice root hair. Additionally, compared to the 1 mg L
Cd treatment (Cd1), treatment with 0.5 mg L
Se(IV) and 1 mg L Cd
(Se0.5Cd1) significantly reduced root surface area and root tip numbers,
non–significantly reduced root length, and enhanced concentrations of
auxin (IAA) and jasmonic acid (JA) in the roots. The results of
metabolomic analysis showed that Se(IV) significantly increased the
expression of differential metabolites correlated with the synthesis of
IAA, JA, gibberellin (GA), and salicylic acid, such as GA53, M–SA,
(+/–)7–epi–JA, and derivatives of tryptophan and indole. Analysis of
the transcriptome indicated that no upregulated differentially expressed
genes (DEGs) were enriched in IAA synthesis; however, some upregulated
DEGs were found to be enriched in JA and GA53 synthesis pathways. In
summary, although Se(IV) stimulated the synthesis of IAA, JA, and GA53,
it significantly inhibited root growth mainly by 1) affecting the signal
transduction of IAA and GA; 2) altering IAA polar transport and
homeostasis; and 3) regulating the expression of the genes

Published: November 2022

Background and Purpose Recent evidence suggests that postmenopausal
osteoporosis is associated with increased bone resorption function in
osteoclasts, of which Cathepsin K is a key molecule. In this study, we
aimed to screen small molecule compounds targeting Cathepsin K and
evaluate whether they affect osteoclast bone resorption function.
Experimental Approach We screened out the small-molecule compound
NVP-BHG712 targeting CTSK by molecular docking, and studied its
pharmacological effect on bone resorption function of osteoclasts. To
this end, we evaluated bone mass changes in postmenopausal mice by μCT,
ELISA, and H&E staining. In addition, we also investigated the effects
of NVP-BHG712 on osteoclast differentiation, bone resorption function
and expression of osteoclast differentiation related factors in vitro.
Key Results Surprisingly, we found that oral NVP-BHG712 treatment
significantly reduced bone loss in postmenopausal mice. In vitro
osteoclast culture, it was found that this effect was achieved by
inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. Meanwhile,
NVP-BHG712 significantly decreased the expression of genes related to
osteoclast differentiation, including CTSK, MMP9, CTR, IP3R1, IP3R3, and
OC-STAMP. Conclusion and Implications The present findings suggest that
NVP-BHG712 reduces bone resorption function by inhibiting osteoclast
differentiation, and is a potential drug for preventing and treating
postmenopausal osteoporosis and other diseases.

Published: November 2022

Because of their high efficiency, better starting torque, and minimal
electrical noise, permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motors are
frequently used in a variety of industrial applications. The speed of
PMBLDC motors is controlled by a variety of controllers. In this study,
P, PI, and PID controllers are used to compare the speed control of a
permanent magnet brushless dc motor drive powered by solar PV arrays.
The Perturb & Observe (P&O) technique is used to find the MPPT. The
drive system’s simulation results for various operation modes, such as
constant and variable load circumstances, are examined and evaluated.
When using a PID Controller instead of a P or PI controller, the drive
performs better at controlling speed. The software MATLAB/Simulink was
used to model, control, and simulate the permanent magnet brushless DC
motor drive. The whole drive system is put into operation with the help
of the dSPACE MicroLabBox 1202

Published: November 2022

Since ruminants needs a constant adaptation to the environmental
changes, therefore they adapt different ecological niches and feeding
habits. In addition the morphology and function of digestive system also
reveals some adaptive evolutionary characteristics. Blue sheep (Pseudois
nayaur) display a variety of morpho-physiological adaptations–typical
for grazers. We collected 64 adult blue sheep samples (whole animal
carcass) in different seasons from the Helan Mountains, China. The
external morphological parameters, digestive system morphological
indexes and rumen surface enlargement factor were determined. Our
results revealed that the weight of rumen and reticulum was positively
correlated with body weight (P = 0.004), while the food channel
aperture, intestinal length and weight of blue sheep digestive tract
have no significant difference between different seasons (P
> 0.05) and gender (P > 0.05). Therefore, it
is difficult for blue sheep to delay the flow rate of large food
particles in the rumen and reticulum by adjusting the aperture of the
mesh flap. There were significant differences (P < 0.001) in
the density, length and width of mastoid for blue sheep, and the rumen
mucosal surface dilatation coefficient was 2.85 ± 1.37, which is the
typical characteristic of roughage feeders. The nutritional and
ecological characteristics of blue sheep are the obvious morphological
and physiological adaptations to the herbivorous diet. They can adopt
the quick foraging strategy for consuming large amount of food and rapid
excretion to obtain the energy needed for their activities and to better
adapt with the environmental changes.
Emergence of: a reversed backward bifurcation , reversed hysteresis effect and backward bifurcation phenomenon in a COVID-19 mathematical model
Authors: Wangari Isaac Mwangi
Published: November 2022

A Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemiological model
incorporating a boosted infection-acquired immunity and heterogeneity in
infection-acquired immunity among recovered individuals is designed. The
model is used to investigate whether incorporating these two processes
can induce new epidemiological insights. Analytical findings reveal
co-existence of multiple endemic equilibria on either regions divided by
the fundamental threshold (control reproduction number). Numerical
findings conducted to validate analytical results show that
heterogeneity in infection-acquired immunity among recovered individuals
can induce various bifurcation structures such as reversed
backward bifurcation, forward bifurcation, backward
bifurcation and reversed hysteresis effect. Moreover, numerical
results show that reversed backward bifurcation is annihilated or
switches to the usual forward bifurcation if infection-acquired
immunity among recovered individuals with strong immunity is assumed to
be everlasting. However, this is only possible if primary infection is
more likely than reinfection. In case reinfection is more likely to
occur than primary infection, reversed backward bifurcation
structure switches to a backward bifurcation phenomenon. Further,
longer duration of infection-acquired immunity does lead to COVID-19
decline over time but does not lead to flattening of the COVID-19 peak.
Effect of stress amplitude on damage and fracture characteristics of austenitic heat-resistant steel Sanicro25 alloy at 973 K
Authors: Zhao Jie , Lyu Dechao , Cao Tieshan , Cheng Congqian , Zhou Tongtong
Published: November 2022

High-temperature damage characteristics related to the deformation
behavior of Sanicro25 alloy were investigated under cyclic loading. The
results show that the high mean stress can lead to creep-like
deformation behavior. The increase of mean stress increased the strain
rate and weakened the life. Comparatively, the increase in stress
amplitude only accelerated the third-regime strain rate, leading to a
decrease in life and fracture strain. Under different stress amplitudes,
microcrack initiation at Z phase interfaces can be certified by
observing micropore and high geometrically necessary dislocation (GND)
density around Z phase. Subsequently, the increase in stress amplitude
can significantly affect crack propagation. Under constant loading ( σ a
=0MPa ), the recrystallization of the transgranular crack tip at the
grain boundary can change the tendency of crack propagation, making
crack propagation along the grain boundaries. Conversely, transgranular
cracks can continue to propagate, assisted by intragranular dislocation
accumulation at higher stress amplitude ( σ a =130MPa ).

MicroRNA-196a-3p modulates neural stem cell proliferation against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by ARF4 signaling
Authors: Wang Hao , Zhao Yuwu , Wang Feng , Yuan Jiawen , Zhu Gang , Dai Meng-shi , Li Jiachen
Published: November 2022

MicroRNA-196a-3p (miR-196a-3p) is known to increase in rat models
subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). In the present
work, we aimed to investigate the effects of miR-196a-3p in cerebral
ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Transient cerebral ischemia was
induced in C57/BL6 mice subjected to MCAO. Mice were also administered
miR-196a-3p antagomir by intracerebroventricular injection. MiR-196a-3p
and its target ARF4 levels were quantified and cerebral infarct volume
and neuronal apoptosis were evaluated. Primary neural stem cells (NSCs)
were activated by oxygen–glucose deprivation/reoxygenation. NSCs were
transfected with miR-196a-3p mimics, inhibitors, siARF4, or negative
control using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent. ARF4, Ki-67, and Nestin
expression levels were assessed using qRT-PCR and western blotting. The
proliferation of NSCs was detected by CCK-8 assay and EdU staining. We
found that levels of miR-196a-3p expression increased in vivo and in
vitro when expression levels of its target ARF4 were decreased. We also
found that miR-196a-3p aggravated cerebral I/R injury in vivo. We
established that ARF4 is the target of miR-196a-3p using a
dual-luciferase assay in vitro. Simultaneously, we observed that
miR-196a-3p overexpression or the inhibition of ARF4 inhibited NSC
proliferation. MiR-196a-3p inhibited NSC proliferation and aggravated
cerebral I/R injury by targeting ARF4.

Capacity Optimization Model Considering Resource's Idle Time Costs and Patients' Waiting Costs
Authors: Mira Mohammed Talal , Kay Michael
Published: November 2022

Waiting times can be a huge concern for companies, as long waiting times
can result in lost sales, unsatisfied customers, and a bad reputation
for organizations. Staff requirement planning can help reduce the
average time in queue. We propose a capacity planning model that
considers the dollar value of customers’ waiting time to determine the
optimal production (service) rate that maximizes the total profit of
organizations. The model balances the trade-off between customers’
waiting costs and staff’s idle time costs. This model introduces a delay
discount factor that quantifies customers’ time in dollar value. We used
two “inferred” models from healthcare and compared the current
settings with the optimal ones resulting from the proposed model. The
optimal setting significantly reduced waiting times and increased
profits. The proposed model can be extremely helpful in adequate staff
planning for service organizations.

Published: November 2022

Genotoxicity assessment is a critical component in the development and
evaluation of chemicals. Traditional genotoxicity assays (i.e.,
mutagenicity, clastogenicity, aneugenicity) have been limited to
dichotomous hazard classification, while other toxicity endpoints are
assessed through quantitative determination of points-of-departure
(PODs) for setting exposure limits. The more recent higher-throughput in
vitro genotoxicity assays, many of which also provide mechanistic
information, offer a powerful approach for determining high-precision
PODs for potency ranking and risk assessment. In order to obtain
relevant human dose context from the in vitro assays, in vitro to in
vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) models are required to determine what dose
would elicit a concentration in the body demonstrated to be genotoxic
using in vitro assays. Previous work has demonstrated that application
of IVIVE models to in vitro bioactivity data can provide PODs that are
protective of human health, but there has been no evaluation of how
these models perform with in vitro genotoxicity data. Thus, the Genetic
Toxicology Technical Committee, under the Health and Environmental
Sciences Institute, conducted a case study on 31 reference chemicals to
evaluate the performance of IVIVE application to genotoxicity data. The
results demonstrate that for most chemicals (20/31), the PODs derived
from in vitro data and IVIVE are highly health protective relative to in
vivo PODs from animal studies. PODs were also protective by individual
assay type: mutations (8/13 chemicals), micronuclei (9/12) and
aneugenicity markers (4/4). It is envisioned that this novel testing
strategy could enhance prioritization, rapid screening, and risk
assessment of genotoxic chemicals.
Insights into the pseudocapacitive behavior of sulfurized polymer electrodes for Li-S batteries
Authors: Podila Ramakrishna , Sapkota Nawraj , Chiluwal Shailendra , Parajuli Prakash , Rowland Alan
Published: November 2022

Practical applications of sulfurized polymer (SP) materials in Li-S
batteries are often written off due to their low S content
(~35 wt. %) by placing them on the same footing as S8/C
composite cathodes. Here, we show that some SP materials function as
pseudocapacitors with an active carbon backbone using a comprehensive
array of tools including in-situ Raman and electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy. We calculated the critical metrics for 35 wt. % S
containing SP cathodes by including pseudocapcitive contributions from
the carbon backbone. We found that SP cathodes with an active carbon
backbone are suitable for 350 Wh/kg target at the cell level if S
loading >5 mg/cm 2 , E/S ratio < 2 µL/mg, and N/P
ratio < 5 can be achieved. Although 3D current collectors can
enable such high loadings, they often add excess mass that decreases the
total capacity at the cell level. To overcome this, we developed an
“active” carbon nanotube bucky sandwich (BS) current collector
(amenable for roll-to-roll processing) that contributes to the total
capacity offsetting its excess weight. We prepared SP cathode with
~5.5 mg/cm 2 of S loading (~15.8 mg/cm 2
of SP loading), which yielded a sulfur-level gravimetric capacity
~1360 mAh/gs (~690 mAh/gs), electrode
level capacity 200 mAh/gelectrode (100 mAh/gelectrode), areal capacity
~7.8 mAh/cm 2 (~4.0 mAh/cm 2) at 0.1C
(1C) rate for ~100 cycles at E/S ratio = 7 µL/mg. We
also succeeded in preparing pouch cells using BS SP cathodes containing
~5 mg/cm 2 S with a capacity ~1300
mAh/gs (~190 mAh/gelectrode) at 0.1C rate.

Grgura Peštalića
Authors: Ostojčić Nikola
Published: November 2022

U radu se analizira djelo Grgura Peštalića koji se za vrijeme kuge koja je zahvatila Srijem 1795. godine nalazio u Vukovaru kao franjevački gvardijan. Čovjek različitih znanstvenih interesa piše o kugi kao edukator, tj. posrednik između lokalnog stanovništva i države koja u suradnji s crkvom pokušava obuzdati epidemiju. Njegovo djelo relativno je nepoznat izvor, osobito u kontekstu promatranja historijske epidemiologije, a ovaj rad pokušat će ukazati na njegovu vrijednost i u tom aspektu. Osim društveno-političke kontekstualizacije, uspoređuje se Peštalićevo tumačenje kuge i predložene protuepidemijske mjere s onim državnima.

Published: November 2022

Contemporary imageology is a rapidly developing sector of humanitarian research that covers various spheres of social interaction. A vital role in the development of this direction of research is played by image technologies, which can be both universal for all areas of life and exclusive to the given profession, narrowly specialized, applicable only to one type of activity. An example of the latter type of technologies is image technologies employed in the formation of corporate culture in a department of a modern university. A detailed analysis of these technologies is conducted by scholars at the Belgorod State Institute of Arts and Culture (Russia), and its results are reported in the present paper.
