Authors: Niquen Katerine , Villarreal Genner , Niquen Vicente
Published: December 2023

El aislamiento sísmico en edificaciones esenciales es una tecnología innovadora que modifica la respuesta estructural mediante el incremento de amortiguamiento y disminución de la rigidez en la interfaz de aislamiento de una estructura. En el artículo se compararon los resultados de una estructura convencional con cimentación fija y una estructura desacoplada en dos partes: cimentación y superestructura mediante una interfaz de aislamiento, ambas sometidos a una seudoaceleración equivalente a sismos raros. La determinación de las propiedades mecánicas de los dispositivos se desarrolló en base a los fundamentos matemáticos que relacionan masa, periodo y rigidez establecidos por Skinner, Robinson y McVerry (1993), Naeim & Kelly (1999), Kelly & Konstantinidis (2011) y Constantinou et. al, (2007). Se consideró una estructura convencional inicialmente diseñada con un sistema sismorresistente en pórticos de concreto y albañilería confinada, perteneciente al Centro de Salud I-3 Andrés Araujo Morán en la Región Tumbes, Perú. En la interfaz se propuso dispositivos de alto amortiguamiento con núcleo de plomo LRB (Lead Rubber Bearing) con un amortiguamiento crítico de 15% y un factor de amortiguamiento equivalente de 〖β〗_M=1.35. En los resultados obtenidos se aprecia que el periodo de la estructura se incrementó de T=0.47s a T=2.462s   en comparación a la estructura convencional. Mientras que en el drift se redujo en un 57.45% de  δ=0.0047 a δ=0.0020 con lo cual se concluye que la estructura se encuentra dentro de la funcionalidad continua de acuerdo a HAZUS (FEMA,2020).
Is the financial resources spent in research in the field of Astrobiology justifiable?
Authors: Mitrovica Dimitar , Nascimento-Dias Bruno
Published: December 2023

The main idea here is to provide a reflection on whether spending financial resources for research in the field of Astrobiology is justifiable. The reason for this article is linked to the growing interest in this research program, not only by the media, but nowadays also by the scientific community through good science.The methodology to develop this article is based on the concatenation of favorable and unfavorable arguments that science practitioners provided, over time, about this research activity. The results point to the use of the principle of mediocrity by optimistic inductivists as a means of argumentation, trying to establish that the practice of this research is based on good science and justifiable. On the other hand, the group of skeptical science practitioners who contest this research argue that there is no evidence to support all the commitment, supply and expenditure of scientists' energy and time, as well as financial resources. Finally, Astrobiology is a science, and helps society by providing us with knowledge subsidies that have great potential to be explored by pharmacology, the food and agricultural industry, and bioremediation treatment of environments contaminated by oil.

Published: December 2023

большая часть алгоритма кодирования для слепого распознавания кодов с низкой плотностью проверки четности (LDPC) сложна в применении, и проблема высокой временной сложности и высокой пространственной сложности не может быть решена. Предложенная здесь архитектура объединяет сеть на основе трансформатора со сверточной нейронной сетью (CNN). CNN используется для подавления шума в режиме реального времени, за которым следует нейронная сеть на основе трансформатора, предназначенная для определения скорости и длины LDPC кодов. Предполагается использование данной архитектуры в схеме кодирования для каналов связи между беспилотными летательными аппаратами (БПЛА) и пользователями. Чтобы обучать сети с шумоподавлением и сети распознавания с высокой производительностью, создаем наборы данных и определяем функции потерь для сетей с шумоподавлением. Результаты моделирования показывают, что эта архитектура способна обеспечить лучшую производительность, чем стандартный метод, при более низком соотношении сигнал/шум (SNR). По сравнению с существующими методами этот подход является более гибким и, следовательно, может быть быстро применен в канале связи между БПЛА и пользователем

this article proposes an architecture for blind recognition of LDPC codes. Most of the coding algorithm for blind recognition of low-density parity checking (LDPC) codes is difficult to apply, and the problem of high temporal complexity and high spatial complexity cannot be solved. The architecture proposed here combines a transformer-based network with a convolutional neural network (CNN). CNN is used for real-time noise suppression, followed by a transformer-based neural network designed to determine the speed and length of LDPC codes. It is assumed that this architecture will be used in the coding scheme for communication channels between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and users. To train noise-canceling networks and high-performance recognition networks, we create datasets and define loss functions for noise-canceling networks. The simulation results show that this architecture is capable of providing better performance than the standard method, with a lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Compared to existing methods, this approach is more flexible and, therefore, can be quickly applied in the communication channel between the UAV and the user

Authors: Neha Valmiki  , Ambili P S
Published: December 2023

Aim: It is widely acknowledged that running is the most effective activity for burning maximum calories per hour. Additionally, fixed bicycling, swimming, and HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) exercises are also excellent choices for calorie burning. HIIT exercises, in particular, have been shown to continue calorie burning for up to 24 hours after the workout. However, accurately predicting the number of calories burned during a specific exercise remains a challenge due to variations in individual physiology and fitness levels. To address this challenge, we utilized an exercise dataset obtained from the UCI Machine Learning repository to forecast the calories burned during different exercises.
Methodology: Many individuals are curious about the calories burned during their workouts and the effectiveness of their weight loss plans. To tackle this issue, we employed machine learning algorithms such as XGBoost regressor and Linear Regression.
Results: The results demonstrate that XGBoost regressor and Linear Regression outperform other approaches in predicting calorie expenditure during exercise.
KEYWORDS— Machine learning, precision, accuracy, classification, XGBoost regressor, Linear Regression.

The development of digitalization causes irreversible changes in society and the environment. Issues of human dignity, quality of life, biodiversity conservation, planetary and local ecology, energy and resource consumption, and human interaction with humanoid machines are on the agenda. Some of them require immediate solutions, for example, the complete recycling of electronic waste, while others require many years of international discussion, for example, changing the nature of intellectual work. Although the development of digital technologies is dynamic, it cannot be definitively assessed and it is already obvious that this process is unmanageable and focused solely on economic goals. Unfortunately, social and environmental goals in today’s model of digitalization are secondary, since economic interests prevail in modern society. In the digital format, human dignity must remain a central, unchanging guideline, since without borders and frameworks, global digital transformation will create an even greater threat to the existence of mankind. The article presents specific proposals for achieving social goals and meaningful recommendations on various aspects of digitalization. The focus is on the problems of preserving human dignity and preventing environmental disasters.

The authors study the problems of the maritime logistics business in Russia in the context of sanctions restrictions on the import of many types of products, on the entry of ships under the Russian flag into international ports, etc. Based on the results of the study, the main barriers hindering the development of Russia’s maritime logistics business were identified, namely: reorientation from Western markets to the markets of the Asia-Pacific region; low availability of ships and sea containers; infrastructural constraints, staffing constraints. In addition, the authors propose directions for the development of the logistics business, which would partially or completely neutralize the impact of sanctions and economic restrictions. The authors analyzed Russia’s plans for the development of shipbuilding and maritime logistics infrastructure. It was noted that these plans are quite ambitious, and in the long term will strengthen Russia’s place in international trade. Summing up, the authors conclude that at the moment the Russian maritime transportation industry is in a rather vulnerable position for a number of reasons, which can be aggregated into one: the Russian maritime logistics business was not fully prepared for the sanctions pressure from Western countries. Nevertheless, there is no critical situation, and there has been no bankruptcy of large operators, which indicates a high margin of safety for Russian companies. However, a more sustainable situation requires significant investment in infrastructure, shipbuilding and container production, as well as diversification of markets and import destinations. Scientific publications of Russian and foreign authors, articles in industry journals, as well as customs data were used as a source of information.

Authors: Gao Kai-Cheng , Zhao Yu , Jia Jie , Liang Dan , Xu Lin , Kuang Yi-Qun
Published: December 2023

E26 transformation-specific-1 (ETS1) is a founding member of the ETS transcription factor family. This transcription factor is highly conserved in amino acid sequences and highly expressed in many immune tissues, such as the thymus, spleen, and lymph gland. ETS1 plays multiple regulatory roles in immune-related diseases and acts as a transcriptional activator or inhibitor of many genes to regulate immune cell differentiation, development, apoptosis, and tumor occurrence. The expression level of ETS1 is correlated with disease severity. However, the molecular mechanisms behind disease and tumor progression mediated by ETS1 have not been fully elucidated. In addition, the therapeutic potential of ETS1 in clinical treatment remains to be further explored. Here, we review and summarize the molecular structure and functions of ETS1 and then focus on the roles of ETS1 in the occurrence of autoimmune diseases and cancers. This review provides a reference corroborating ETS1 as a potential therapeutic target for immune-related diseases and cancers.

Published: December 2023

Traditional villages and cultural landscapes harbor rich historical information, representing a crucial agricultural heritage. This systematic categorization of these zones is essential for scientifically identifying their distinctive characteristics and values, thereby focusing protection efforts effectively. This paper focuses on Huizhou City, a typical multicultural area, examining its rich traditional villages and cultural landscapes through a comprehensive index system covering four levels and 22 factors. To categorize the city’s diverse cultural landscape, K-means cluster analysis is employed, resulting in the identification of five traditional village cultural landscape zones, namely the northern mountain valley, the central plain of the Dongjiang River basin, the south-central plain of the Xizhi River basin, the southern coastal area, and the eastern mountainous hills. Each zone exhibits different spatial patterns and landscape characteristics. While this paper offers a preliminary analysis, future research should integrate advanced data analysis methods to comprehensively examine the cultural landscape to guide dynamic protection strategies and facilitate the adaptive reuse of traditional villages.

Authors: - ROHIT NARENDRA RTHOD
Published: December 2023

Mucormycosis are life-threatening fungal infections especially affecting immunocompromised or diabetic patients. This review provides an update on mucormycosis management. The latest recommendations strongly recommend as first-line therapy the use of liposomal amphotericin B (≥ 5mg/kg) combined with surgery whenever possible. Isavuconazole and intravenous or delayed-release tablet forms of posaconazole have remained second-line. Many molecules are currently in development to fight against invasive fungal diseases but few have demonstrated efficacy against Mucorales. Despite in vitro efficacy, combinations of treatment have failed to demonstrate superiority versus monotherapy. New approaches assessing relationships between host, fungi, and antifungal drugs, and new routes of administration such as aerosols could improve mucormycosis treatment.

Cloud computing improvements have resulted in information being contracted by cloud services. Dropbox and Google Drive are cloud storage services that provide users low-cost storage. We provide a way of protecting files by encrypting and decrypting them, which provides an enhanced level of security. We use the Double encryption approach to encrypt the files that we upload to the cloud. The file is encrypted twice, one after the other, using the two algorithms. The file is encrypted using the AES method first, followed by the RSA algorithm. During the algorithm's execution, the corresponding keys are created. This strategy raises the level of security. The parameters covered here include security level, speed, data confidentiality, data integrity, and cypher text size. Our method is more efficient as it satisfies all the parameters where the conventional methods failed to do so. Drop Box is the cloud service we utilized to store the file's content, which is encrypted using the AES and RSA algorithms

Since time immemorial, humans have been requiring and using energy at an increasing rate for their sustenance and well-being. Due to this many energy resources have been exhausted and wasted. Currently we have a variety of power sources, both renewable and nonrenewable sources, but still we are unable to meet our electricity needs. A different ways to generate electricity by using piezoelectric sensor. When human walking, the vibration that generates between the surface and the footstep is wasted. Utilizing this wasted energy, the electrical energy can be generated and fulfill the demand of our electricity. A piezoelectric transducer is used to detect the vibration and this transducer converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. When we applied a pressure to the piezoelectric transducer it will convert the pressure into electrical energy. The piezoelectric transducer is connected in series-parallel connection. This paper is all about generating electricity when people walk on the floor. This idea is used to convert the weight energy into the electrical energy.

The system performance can be improved significantly by employing orthogonal space-frequency block coding (OSFBC) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) because in this combination the receiver suffers lesser complexity. Recently, the wireless systems are deploying by the increasing number of closely spaced antennas. So the assumption of in-dependency among the antenna brunches is not valid. Realizing the advantages of this combination of system and taking account the effect of antenna correlation, this work demonstrates the insight of secured wireless multicasting network consisting multiple antennas both in transmitter and receiver over spatially correlated frequency selective fading channels. The desired signals have been protected from eavesdropping by useful impact of antenna diversity and antenna correlation. The main contribution of this work is the development of mathematical models of the probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity (PNSMC) and the secure outage probability for multicasting (SOPM) to secure the system from eavesdropping. The analytical results are verified via Monte-Carlo simulation to ensure the validity of the developed mathematical model. Moreover, the numerical analysis gives a clear indication that security in OSFBC OFDM system with antenna diversity over spatially correlated frequency selective fading channel upgrades due to the effect of transmit antenna correlation and degrades due to receive antenna correlation. But the loss of this security can be significantly reduced employing antenna diversity with OSFBC-OFDM systems.

The world is witnessing spontaneous growth in communication technology computer network and information technology. Development of new broadband communication services and convergence of telecommunication with computers which can be set to be the internet of things have created numerous possibilities to use a variety of new technology tools for teaching and learning systems.
The Internet of things is so much into everything these days that it has started to be called as Internet of everything. It is not very surprising that internet of things, as it is now called has made its way into the education industry as well. Keeping in the mind the intervention of computers and smart phones into our lives and its effect on the educational system today, it. Sounds a bit farfetched at first for the internet of things to do anything with the education industry. While some of the effect that internet of things can bring into the education sector are apparent but some will be implicit and are likely to make a silent change from the inside. The internet of things can begin disrupting the education on procedure as early as kindergarten and can continue to do so through 12th standard but perhaps most profound effects occur in higher education. We will discuss the change that the internet of things can bring into the field of education and the challenges and impact of the internet of things in the 21st century education sector.

The effect of ultrasound on plants has been shown by limited number of researchers. This article presents data on effect of ultrasound on seedlings of chickpea and fenugreek experimented in less favorable temperature ranging from 9.0-16.0 °C. The exposure was done in seedlings semi-buried in moist coco peat. The results indicated that 23% of chickpea (n=31) that had ultrasound exposure (20 kHz/ 5’ for 2 consecutive days) had germination root length (>1.5cms) as compared to 14% in control (n=28). The effect in Fenugreek was the opposite that control seedlings had better growth than the exposed seedlings (20 kHz/ 5’ for 2 consecutive days). The effect of ultrasound (20 kHz/ 30’ one time) on germinating garlic indicated positive effect that weaker seedlings can benefit from the treatment. Hence to conclude, it could be stated that seeds with bigger bulk mass like chickpea, had positive effect whereas seeds with lower bulk mass like fenugreek had negative effect at treatment dose 5’/20 kHz and garlic had positive effect at 30’ / 20Hz. Possibly it also reiterates the proven concept that longer exposure is beneficial than a shorter exposure.

Municipal solid waste has significantly increased due to the increase in population, expanding urbanization and insufficient waste management systems. Waste management has become a big challenge since it is causing a major threat to environment. Composting is one of the most efficient ways of converting the biodegradable solid waste into organic fertilizer. The main objective of this study is to convert different samples of wet waste such as kitchen waste, flower waste and garden waste into compost and check their maturity and stability by evaluating the physical and chemical parameters. The co-relation between some of the parameters was also studied. The results were in agreement with the standard values which indicates that this method can be promoted as a viable waste management method.
