Authors: Ivanovski Maja , Goričanec Darko , Urbancl Danijela
Published: April 2023

The paper presents the results of research aimed at evaluating the possibility of using selected biomass wastes to produce solid biofuels. In this work, the thermochemical properties of two lignocellulosic biomasses, namely, miscantshus (Miscanthus × Giganteus) and hops (Humulus lupulus), and non-lignocellulosic biomass, namely, municipal solid waste, and their mixtures (micanthus + municipal solid waste and hops + municipal solid waste) were studied using the torrefaction process as the main method for investigation. The effects of various torrefaction temperatures (250, 300, and 350 °C) and times (30 and 60 min) were evaluated. Proximate and ultimate analyses were performed on the torrefied samples. The following can be stated: as the torrefaction temperature and time increased, mass and energy yields decreased while the higher heating values (HHVs) and fuel ratios (FRs) increased, together with carbon contents (C). In addition, energy on return investment (EROI) was studied; the maximum EROI of 28 was achieved for MSW biochar at 250 °C for 30 min. The results of studying greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) showed a reduction of around 88% when using torrefied biochar as a substitute for coal. In sum, this study shows that torrefaction pre-treatment can improve the physicochemical properties of raw biomasses to a level comparable with coal, and could be helpful in better understanding the conversion of those biomasses into a valuable, solid biofuel.
Integrating Survival Analysis with Bayesian Statistics to Forecast the Remaining Useful Life of a Centrifugal Pump Conditional to Multiple Fault Types
Authors: Kapuria Abhimanyu , Cole Daniel G.
Published: April 2023

To improve the viability of nuclear power plants, there is a need to reduce their operational costs. Operational costs account for a significant portion of a plant’s yearly budget, due to their scheduled-based maintenance approach. In order to reduce these costs, proactive methods are required that estimate and forecast the state of a machine in real time to optimize maintenance schedules. In this research, we use Bayesian networks to develop a framework that can forecast the remaining useful life of a centrifugal pump. To do so, we integrate survival analysis with Bayesian statistics to forecast the health of the pump conditional to its current state. We complete our research by successfully using the Bayesian network on a case study. This solution provides an informed probabilistic viewpoint of the pumping system for the purpose of predictive maintenance.
Discrepancies in Embryonic Staging: Towards a Gold Standard
Authors: Flierman Sander , Tijsterman Melanie , Rousian Melek , de Bakker Bernadette S.
Published: April 2023

For over half a century, the Carnegie staging system has been used for the unification of chronology in human embryo development. Despite the system’s establishment as a “universal” system, Carnegie staging reference charts display a high level of variation. To establish a clear understanding for embryologists and medical professionals, we aimed to answer the following question: does a gold standard of Carnegie staging exist, and if so, which set of proposed measures/characteristics would it include? We aimed to provide a clear overview of the variations in published Carnegie staging charts to compare and analyze these differences and propose potential explanatory factors. A review of the literature was performed, wherein 113 publications were identified and screened based on title and abstract. Twenty-six relevant titles and abstracts were assessed based on the full text. After exclusion, nine remaining publications were critically appraised. We observed consistent variations in data sets, especially regarding embryonic age, varying as large as 11 days between publications. Similarly, for embryonic length, large variations were present. These large variations are possibly attributable to sampling differences, developing technology, and differences in data collection. Based on the reviewed studies, we propose the Carnegie staging system of Prof. Hill as a gold standard amongst the available data sets in the literature.
Quantification of Ergot Alkaloids via Lysergic Acid Hydrazide—Development and Comparison of a Sum Parameter Screening Method
Authors: Kuner Maximilian , Lisec Jan , Mauch Tatjana , Konetzki Jörg , Haase Hajo , Koch Matthias
Published: April 2023

Ergot alkaloids are a group of mycotoxins occurring in products derived from various grasses (e.g., rye) and have been regulated in the EU recently. The new maximum levels refer to the sum of the six most common ergot alkaloids in their two stereoisomeric forms in different food matrices. Typically, these twelve compounds are individually quantified via HPLC-MS/MS or -FLD and subsequently summed up to evaluate food safety in a time-consuming process. Since all these structures share the same ergoline backbone, we developed a novel sum parameter method (SPM) targeting all ergot alkaloids simultaneously via lysergic acid hydrazide. After extraction and clean-up, in analogy to the current European standard method EN 17425 (ESM) for ergot alkaloid quantitation, the samples were derivatized by an optimized hydrazinolysis protocol, which allowed quantitative conversion after 20 min at 100 °C. The new SPM was evaluated against another established HPLC-FLD-based method (LFGB) and the HPLC-MS/MS-based ESM using six naturally contaminated rye and wheat matrix reference materials. While the SPM provided comparable values to the ESM, LFGB showed deviating results. Determined recovery rates, limits of detection and quantification of all three employed methods confirm that the new SPM is a promising alternative to the classical approaches for ergot alkaloid screening in food.

Nanobodies (Nbs) are single domain antibody fragments derived from heavy-chain antibodies found in members of the Camelidae family. They have become a relevant class of biomolecules for many different applications because of several important advantages such as their small size, high solubility and stability, and low production costs. On the other hand, synthetic Nb libraries are emerging as an attractive alternative to animal immunization for the selection of antigen-specific Nbs. Here, we present the design and construction of a new synthetic nanobody library using the phage display technology, following a structure-based approach in which the three hypervariable loops were subjected to position-specific randomization schemes. The constructed library has a clonal diversity of 108 and an amino acid variability that matches the codon distribution set by design at each randomized position. We have explored the capabilities of the new library by selecting nanobodies specific for three antigens: vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and the glycoprotein complex (GnGc) of Andes virus. To test the potential of the library to yield a variety of antigen-specific Nbs, we introduced a biopanning strategy consisting of a single selection round using stringent conditions. Using this approach, we obtained several binders for each of the target antigens. The constructed library represents a promising nanobody source for different applications.
Angular Regioselective Synthesis of Varied Functionalized Hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-9-ones and Their Antiproliferative Action
Authors: Said Awad I. , Gajdács Márió , Zupkó István , Haukka Matti , Palkó Márta
Published: April 2023

New 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-ones capable of participating in regioselective reactions with functionally diverse hydrazonoyl chlorides towards angular regioisomers, rather than linear ones, were designed and synthesized to form stereoisomeric cis- and trans-hexahydro [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-9-ones to be tested as antitumor candidates. The angular regiochemistry of the products was verified through crystallographic experiments and NMR studies. In addition, the regioselectivity of the reaction was found to be independent of the stereochemistry of the used 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-one. Only compound 4c demonstrated satisfactory growth inhibition against all the cancer cells used among all the produced drugs.

Published: April 2023

Medium- and long-chain saturated and unsaturated free fatty acids (FFAs) are known to bind to human serum albumin (HSA), the main plasma carrier protein. Atomic-level structural data regarding the binding mode in Sudlow’s sites I (FA7) and II (FA4, FA3) of the polyunsaturated ω-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), however, are largely unknown. Herein, we report the combined use of saturation transfer difference (STD) and Interligand NOEs for Pharmacophore Mapping (INPHARMA) NMR techniques and molecular docking calculations to investigate the binding mode of DHA and EPA in Sudlow’s sites Ι and ΙΙ of HSA. The docking calculations and the significant number of interligand NOEs between DHA and EPA and the drugs warfarin and ibuprofen, which are stereotypical ligands for Sudlow’s sites I and II, respectively, were interpreted in terms of competitive binding modes and the presence of two orientations of DHA and EPA at the binding sites FA7 and FA4. The exceptional flexibility of the long-chain DHA and EPA and the formation of strongly folded structural motives are the key properties of HSA–PUFA complexes.

Authors: Cheng Zhao , Jin Xilang , Liu Yinggang , Zheng Lei , He Hao
Published: April 2023

Constructed on the benzothiazole-oxanthracene structure, a fluorescent probe RBg for Cu+ was designed under the ESIPT mechanism and synthesized by incorporating amide bonds as the connecting group and glyoxal as the identifying group. Optical properties revealed a good sensitivity and a good linear relationship of the probe RBg with Cu+ in the concentration range of [Cu+] = 0–5.0 μmol L−1. Ion competition and fluorescence-pH/time stability experiments offered further possibilities for dynamic Cu+ detection in an aqueous environment. HRMS analysis revealed a possible 1:1 combination of RBg and Cu+. In addition, colorimetric Cu+ detection and lysosome-targeted properties of the probe RBg were analyzed through RBg-doped PVDF nanofiber/test strips and RBg-Mito/Lyso trackers that were co-stained in living HeLa cells, enabling the probe’s future applications as real-time detection methods for dynamic Cu+ tracking in the lysosomes and Cu+ detection under diversified conditions.
Dry Water as a Promoter for Gas Hydrate Formation: A Review
Authors: Wei Yu , Maeda Nobuo
Published: April 2023

Applications of clathrate hydrate require fast formation kinetics of it, which is the long-standing technological bottleneck due to mass transfer and heat transfer limitations. Although several methods, such as surfactants and mechanical stirring, have been employed to accelerate gas hydrate formation, the problems they bring are not negligible. Recently, a new water-in-air dispersion stabilized by hydrophobic nanosilica, dry water, has been used as an effective promoter for hydrate formation. In this review, we summarize the preparation procedure of dry water and factors affecting the physical properties of dry water dispersion. The effect of dry water dispersion on gas hydrate formation is discussed from the thermodynamic and kinetic points of view. Dry water dispersion shifts the gas hydrate phase boundary to milder conditions. Dry water increases the gas hydrate formation rate and improves gas storage capacity by enhancing water-guest gas contact. The performance comparison and synergy of dry water with other common hydrate promoters are also summarized. The self-preservation effect of dry water hydrate was investigated. Despite the prominent effect of dry water in promoting gas hydrate formation, its reusability problem still remains to be solved. We present and compare several methods to improve its reusability. Finally, we propose knowledge gaps in dry water hydrate research and future research directions.

Published: April 2023

The panax genus is a widely used medicinal plant with good biological activity. As one of the main active components of the Panax genus, polysaccharides have various pharmacological effects. This review summarizes the latest research reports on ginseng, American ginseng, and Panax notoginseng polysaccharides and compares the differences in extraction, isolation and purification, structural characteristics, and biological activities. The current research mainly focuses on ginseng polysaccharides, and the process of extraction, isolation, and structure analysis of each polysaccharide is roughly the same. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that these polysaccharides have antioxidants, antitumor, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, intestinal protection, skin repair, and other biological activities. This review provides new insights into the differences between the three kinds of ginseng polysaccharides which will help to further study the medicinal value of ginseng in traditional Chinese medicine.
Feedback Methods for Vector Measurements Using an All-Optical Atomic Magnetometer
Authors: Bulatowicz Michael , Tost Jonas , Walker Thad G.
Published: April 2023

In this work, we look to compare three methods of feedback for the ultimate purpose of measuring the transverse vector components of a magnetic field using a synchronous light-pulse atomic scalar magnetometer with a few tens of fT/Hz sensitivity in Earth-field-scale magnetic environments. By applying modulation in the magnetic field to orthogonal axes, the respective vector components may, in principle, be separated from the scalar measurement. Success of this technique depends in significant part on the ability to measure and respond to these perturbations with low measurement uncertainty. Using high-speed least-squares fitting, the phase response of the atomic spins relative to the first harmonic of the optical pump pulse repetition rate is monitored and correspondingly adjusted into resonance with the natural Larmor precession frequency. This paper seeks to motivate and compare three distinct methods of feedback for this purpose. As a first step toward the full development of this technique, the present work uses a simplified version with modulation applied only along the bias field. All three methods investigated herein are shown to provide results that match well with the scalar magnetometer measurements and to depend on both the applied modulation amplitude and optimal feedback response to achieve low relative uncertainty.

Published: April 2023

Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) has quickly become a leading technology in the deployment of IoT systems and services, owing to its appealing features in terms of coverage and energy efficiency, as well as compatibility with existing mobile networks. Increasingly, IoT services and applications require location information to be paired with data collected by devices; NB-IoT still lacks, however, reliable positioning methods. Time-based techniques inherited from long-term evolution (LTE) are not yet widely available in existing networks and are expected to perform poorly on NB-IoT signals due to their narrow bandwidth. This investigation proposes a set of strategies for NB-IoT positioning based on fingerprinting that use coverage and radio information from multiple cells. The proposed strategies were evaluated on two large-scale datasets made available under an open-source license that include experimental data from multiple NB-IoT operators in two large cities: Oslo, Norway, and Rome, Italy. Results showed that the proposed strategies, using a combination of coverage and radio information from multiple cells, outperform current state-of-the-art approaches based on single cell fingerprinting, with a minimum average positioning error of about 20 m when using data for a single operator that was consistent across the two datasets vs. about 70 m for the current state-of-the-art approaches. The combination of data from multiple operators and data smoothing further improved positioning accuracy, leading to a minimum average positioning error below 15 m in both urban environments.

Las leguminosas tienen un gran aporte nutricional y sus propiedades funcionales, entre las más importante para la alimentación destacan el fréjol canario (V. unguiculata) y el chocho guaranguito (L. mutabilis). Debido a su bajo costo, es accesible para las personas, sin embargo, los consumidores desconocen de su valor nutricional, exceptuando la importancia de estas leguminosas que, gracias a su gran contenido de proteína, vitaminas y minerales, se podrían considerar como una excelente alternativa de alimentación saludable. Por esta razón, la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar las características fisicoquímica de las leguminosas fréjol y chocho y su incidencia en la funcionalidad de harinas. Lo cual permitió determinar que el chocho mostró mayor contenido proteico 40,69 % y de lípidos 11,04 %, mientras que el fréjol canario tuvo mayor contenido de carbohidratos totales 75,12 %. Por otro lado, en relación a la funcionalidad de las harinas, la obtenida del fréjol se situó un mayor contenido en WHC (142,62 ml/100 g) y OAC (148, 03 ml/100 g), FS (96,71 %), EA (29,48 %), ES (42,30 %), FC (16,00 %), en comparación a la harina del chocho que presentó mejores capacidades en WAC (157,82 ml/100 g) y OHC (151,05 ml/100 g).
Autonomia pragmática? A nova política externa de Lula
Authors: Rodrigues Gilberto M. A.
Published: April 2023

O Presidente Lula assume o seu novo mandato (2023-) depois de ter derrotado o governo de extrema-direita de Bolsonaro, baseado numa grande coligação de partidos e interesses internos, alguns deles bastante divergentes. Com o experiente ex-ministro Celso Amorim como seu principal conselheiro internacional, Lula retoma a sua política externa sob novas chaves domésticas e internacionais, com mais dificuldades e desafios em comparação com os seus dois mandatos anteriores (2003-2010). As divisões internas do país, que exigem uma reconciliação sócio-política, e o cenário internacional conflituoso e instável implicam uma nova política externa destinada a recuperar a posição e a imagem do Brasil na cena internacional. Aplica-se nesta análise o conceito de "autonomia pragmática", que combina as pretensões do país à liderança em questões como as alterações climáticas e a luta contra a fome com o desejo de manter o equilíbrio entre polos de poder opostos no sistema internacional.

Published: April 2023

This research investigates the connection between corporate governance and firm performance, corporate governance, and economic growth, the moderating effect of external governance on corporate governance and firm performance, and economic growth by using a sample of one hundred companies listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSEI), and one hundred companies listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) between 2011 and 2020. We construct three governance indices –the Internal Corporate Governance Index (ICGI) based on 100 elements of governance, and the External Governance index (X-GI) based on World Bank Institutional Quality measures. The study uses GMM Dynamic Panel Data to test the hypotheses. Results show that our newly constructed indexes (the ICGI and CCGI) have significant relationships with firm performance (ROE, Tobin’s Q,) and economic growth (growth in GDP) in both the UK and India. Findings also show that external governance negatively moderates the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance, and the relationship between corporate governance and economic growth for India. The case for the UK is different as external governance positively moderates the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance. However, no significant moderating effect is seen between corporate governance and economic growth.

Authors: Beltrán Karen , Mora Jorge
Published: April 2023

What is the role of female traditional cooks as carriers of culinary knowledge for tourism development in some of the food markets in Bogota? This research analyses the role of the female cook as a carrier of culinary knowledge, determines contributions to gastronomic heritage that allows tourism development and generates resources for tourism use around local gastronomic heritage. Thus, interviews to traditional female cooks were conducted face to face in order to analyse the knowledge they have about Colombian Cuisine, and where they obtain this knowledge from, as well as their perception on gender division of labour on their kitchens. About methodology, a qualitative approach was used, from the action-participation research method with a process that allows a collective learning of their reality.

As a result, traditional cooks are bearers of intangible cultural heritage and are representatives of Colombian cultural identity; most of their culinary knowledge has been obtained in empirical processes due to family tradition or work experience. In conclusion, their role is to keep the recipes intact and teach them to other generations to maintain cultural heritage as living heritage in the gastronomic tourism chain.

X-Maps: A Computational Method for Space Planning Using Multi-Variate Occupant Comfort
Authors:   University of Washington, Dehnavi Elham Soltani , Meek Christopher ,   University of Washington
Published: April 2023

The indoor experience can be affected by several environmental conditions such as visual comfort, thermal comfort, acoustic comfort, air quality, biophilia, layout, and aesthetic. In most cases, there are physical metrics for calculating the occupant’s comfort inside the building by considering the acceptable ranges defined by widely recognized standards. Unfortunately, some of these aspects conflict with each other, and most studies have focused on just one aspect of comfort in isolation. Also, in most cases, putting the same weight to all factors can result in inappropriate conclusions because occupants give more importance to some factors compared with the others. Therefore, ranking comfort parameters based on occupants’ preference is of great importance. There are also factors that are not defined by standards, but by culture and climate, such as occupants’ characteristics such as metabolic rate and clothing insulation, building’s characteristics, and climate building’s physical location and orientation. Conventional practices often produce very similar solutions for different locations and conditions without considering the factors mentioned above. So, the objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive tool that overlaps multiple comfort factors in office buildings and can give designers an overall and broader perspective on space planning by comparing different zones inside the office from a comfort point of view based on conditions and locations. Computer simulation is used to provide the information needed. The simulation tools include the visual scripting software Grasshopper and plugins such as Ladybug, Honeybee, and EnergyPlus. In order to produce the X-Maps (experience maps), annual and point-in-time climate-based comfort metrics are selected for comfort evaluation and simulation. The results are reflected graphically in the form of a tool which is intended to guide designers at early stages of the office interior space planning process.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON PERFORMANCE OF BASIC AND ENSEMBLE CLASSIFIERS WITH VARIOUS DATASETS
Authors: Gunakala Archana , Shahid Afzal Hussain
Published: April 2023

Classification plays a critical role in machine learning (ML) systems for processing images, text and high -dimensional data. Predicting class labels from training data is the primary goal of classification. An optimal model for a particular classification problem is chosen on the basis of the model's performance and execution time. This paper compares and analyses the performance of basic as well as ensemble classifiers utilizing 10 -fold cross validation and also discusses their essential concepts, advantages, and disadvantages. In this study five basic classifiers namely Naïve Bayes (NB), Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree (DT), and Random Forest (RF) and the ensemble of all the five classifiers along with few more combinations are compared with five University of California Irvine (UCI) ML Repository datasets and a Diabetes Health Indicators dataset from kaggle repository. To analyze and compare the performance of classifiers, evaluation metrics like Accuracy, Recall, Precision, Area Under Curve (AUC) and F-Score are used. Experimental results showed that SVM performs best on two out of the six datasets (Diabetes Health Indicators and waveform), RF performs best for Arrhythmia, Sonar, Tic-tac-toe datasets, and the best ensemble combination is found to be DT+SVM+RF on Ionosphere dataset having respective accuracies 72.58%, 90.38%, 81.63%, 73.59%, 94.78% and 94.01% and the proposed ensemble combinations outperformed over the conventional models for few datasets.

СТАН ЗДІЙСНЕННЯ АДМІНІСТРАТИВНОГО СУДОЧИНСТВА УКРАЇНИ В СУЧАСНИХ УМОВАХ
Authors: Бойко Віталій
Published: April 2023

Європейський суд з прав людини у рішенні у справі «Кресс проти Франції» (Kress v. Franse) від 07.06.2001 року вказав: «Сам факт створення та існування адміністративних судів, безумовно, можна привітати як одне з провідних досягнень держави, заснованої на верховенстві права, - зокрема, з огляду на           те, що ці суди здобули юрисдикцію розглядати акти адміністративних органів не без відповідної боротьби». До причин створення адміністративних судів та запровадження адміністративного судочинства в Україні відносять: необхідність посилення гарантій захисту прав людини від свавілля з боку влади; відсутність ефективної процедури судового вирішення адміністративних справ, яка б враховувала специфіку публічно-правових відносин; прив’язаність територіальної юрисдикції судів до адміністративно-територіального устрою України, що посилює можливості впливу чиновницького апарату на суддів; істотне зростання кількості справ щодо оскарження неправомірних дії, рішень та бездіяльності суб’єктів владних повноважень; невелику кількість суддів - фахівців     у галузі адміністративної юрисдикції [1].

Problem statement. One of the prerequisites for such criteria effective application in road sector public procurement procedure is methodology updating for evaluating tenders, taking into account European approaches to their evaluation. Purpose. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop non-price criteria for environmental measures implementation (or environmental friendliness of resources used) for public procurement in the field of road management. Materials and methods. As non-price criteria application is based on the approaches prescribed by current legislation, their evaluation is carried out by methods and techniques defined in the “Guidelines for the methodology of the peculiarities of procurement in the field of road management”. Determining the impact on the environment in the implementation of planned activities is performed using a combined approach to the Leopold matrix and the Harrington function. The results. The article describes examples of the application of certain non-price criteria for environmental protection measures implementation. The practical implementation of the proposed non-price criteria in the procedure of public procurement in the road sector will provide an opportunity to make an important contribution to the process of integration of sustainability criteria in Ukraine in accordance with European standards.
