Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have a great potential to transform the way we live and work, significantly reducing traffic accidents and harmful emissions on the one hand and enhancing travel efficiency and fuel economy on the other. Nevertheless, the safe and efficient control of AVs is still challenging because AVs operate in dynamic environments with unforeseen challenges. This project aimed to advance the state-of-the-art by designing a proactive/reactive adaptation and learning architecture for connected vehicles, unifying techniques in spatiotemporal data fusion, machine learning, and robust adaptive control. By leveraging data shared over a cloud network available to all entities, vehicles proactively adapted to new environments on the proactive level, thus coping with large-scale environmental changes. On the reactive level, control-barrier-function-based robust adaptive control with machine learning improved the performance around nominal models, providing performance and control certificates. The proposed research shaped a robust foundation for autonomous driving on cloud-connected highways of the future.

STREPTOMYCIN AND PYRIDOMYCIN DRUG MOLECULES PROVIDE THE MOST POTENTIAL INHIBITORS AGAINST RV3871 TO CURE TUBERCULOSIS
Authors: Shikha Bhushan  , Yashpal Singh Raja  , Surya Mishra
Published: August 2022

The ESX-1 secretion system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis delivers bacterial virulence factors to host cells during infection. The most abundant factor, the ESAT-6/CFP-10 dimer, is targeted for secretion via a C-terminal signal sequence on CFP-10 that is recognized by the cytosolic ATPase, Rv3871. ATPase that is a component of the ESAT-6/CFP-10 secretion system. ESX locus contains genes encoding conserved secretion machinery components termed EccCb1. these core components are required for ESAT-6/CFP-10 secretion [70, 71]. Rv3871 is a cytoplasmic protein connected with the Rv3870 and encoded by the EccCb1 gene. These proteins supply energy for the secretion process. Each of these ATPases is involved in targeting protein for ESX-1 secretion. EccCb1 binds a seven amino acid C-terminal signal peptide of CFT- 10, which is required for secretion of the ESAT-6/CFP-10 complex. In this we target the Rv3871 seven amino acid c-terminal region and block it through multiple drugs so, it cannot be activated by the ATPases and not to supply energy for the secretion protein during infection (Tuberculosis). In the present study we have comparatively studied different Rv3871 inhibitory antagonist drug molecule which could be a potential drug molecule to inhibit ATPases on the Rv3871 molecule that is responsible for the energy supply. We have 16 antagonistic drug molecules as shortlisted based on previous studies, that block the target site on the Rv3871 molecule.

Authors: Khadzir Mohd Khusairy , Ahmad Mohd Taufik , Omar Muhammad Fakhrulzaman , Mohd Ghazali Mohd Shahril Shah
Published: August 2022

Crop maintenance machinery for herbicide spraying and spreading fertilizer input has been the current practice for paddy production in Malaysia, especially in large granary areas. Soft soil issues in paddy fields have become a significant problem and prevent heavy machinery from conducting field operations. Current paddy prime movers use rubber wheels that produce high ground contact pressure onto the soil for crop maintenance operation. With high ground contact pressure, the probability of machines sinking into the soil, or bogged down, is higher and can cause the machine to get stuck. This also can result in hardpan damage (Mandang et al., 2000). Recently, prime agriculture mover uses steel track that has the issue on-road or soil damaged due to the grousers material use. Engineering Research Centre in Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI) have found an alternative solution for this issue by developing and replacing all the wheels on a standard 12.75 kW (17 hp) High Clearance Prime Mover with Polyoxymethylene (POM) grousers equipped on triangular track-based system. This paper aims to find the optimal size of grousers for POM material to be installed on the high clearance machinery for alternative solutions to solve problematic soil and its effect on the soil. Polyoxymethylene or POM was chosen due to its excellent rigidity, impact toughness, abrasion resistance, creep resistance and solvent resistance, hydrolytic stability fatigue endurance, low coefficient of friction lightweight. To develop suitable POM grousers, a triangular track-based system has been tested with three different length sizes of rectangular wooden track grousers 13 x 4 x 4 cm, 15 x 4 x 4 cm, and 18 x 4 x 4 cm that could be quickly mounted on or removed from D4 track chain, permitting rapid sequential testing on the soft soil area. Field tests have been conducted at MARDI Seberang Perai, Pulau Pinang. The measured parameters were slippage, machine sinkage, and soil compaction.  The high clearance prime mover obtained slippage of 16.4% using 13cm shoes and 18.2% for 15 cm 22.2% for 18 cm accordingly, and sinkage for all shoe size were less than 30 cm.

Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is a major rice pest insect in Malaysia. Series of the outbreak has been recorded in 1991, 1909, 2011, and 2015 which caused heavy yield losses. The light trap is now commonly used to monitor the pest population to predict the outbreak. The population sampling was conducted based on the crop stage at a specific sampling point and area. It has been done manually through field observations using netting, sweeping, board tapping, or survey patrol. Those methods are laborious and time-consuming. Malaysia Agriculture Research and Development Institute (MARDI) has developed an early warning system for brown planthopper monitoring consisting of modular light traps and a weather database to provide earlier forecasts and more effective outbreak prediction. However, there is not much information about how effective the light trap operated in the open field to draw and trap the insects. The light trap's efficiency depends on a few factors like the trap design, type of light source, duration, and sampling time; all affect the trap's effectiveness. A 30W Compact fluorescence light (CFL) has been selected and used to build four operated light traps and placed at the appropriate selected location. Sampling works were conducted twice a week for three hours per night throughout the planting season (15 weeks). Comparative statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the light trap compared to the aerial netting method. The results showed that the difference is statistically significant between light trap and aerial netting with a value of 0.0167 at p <0.05. Therefore, brown planthopper population monitoring is more effectively done using the new design light trap.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is among the most popular crop around the world. Physicochemical properties are an important element in the sweet potato processing industry. However, little knowledge is known about this variety of sweet potatoes. In this study, colour, moisture, ash, protein, fat, crude fibre and carbohydrate were studied subjected to three different conditions of Japanese sweet potato; whole tuber (C1), peeled tuber (C2) and skin of tuber (C3). Colour and proximate analysis were determined using the lightness (L), red/green (a) and yellow/blue (b) system and AOAC method, respectively. The result indicated that L, a* and b* ranged from 68.0–89.2, 0.48–5.65 and 11.67–13.27, respectively. The highest values of L, a and b were observed in C1, C3 and C1, respectively. Moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate and fibre were ranged from 5.93–7.86%, 2.64–8.11%, 4.64–5.47%, 0.06–0.70%, 65.96–86.96% and 1.00–2.43%, respectively. C1 had the highest value of moisture content while C2 showed to have the highest values of protein and carbohydrate. C3 was observed to have the significantly highest (p < 0.05) content of ash, lipid and crude fibre. Overall, the differences in the physicochemical properties of three different conditions of sweet potato are significant in certain properties. C1 was suggested to be the best selection for producing better quality sweet potato products. Therefore, the result obtained from this study becomes useful for further processing of sweet potatoes.

Published: August 2022

The history of the creation of main pipelines dates back to the oil fields of Baku and Pennsylvania. Throughout their history, pipelines have undergone a significant change from the first pipelines in the US oil fields to modern field mainpipelines. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the rapid development of internal combustion engines began. The latest weapons were equipped with engines that needed light oil products for their work.Before the outbreak of the Second World War, the system for the supply of oil products for the needs of the troops did not have time to form in full.Fuel was supplied to the troops mainly by rail or road.After the end of the Second World War, taking into account the experience of military operations, to provide large groupings of troops, sets of field mainpipelines were adopted for service. The sets of pipelines could be deployed over a distance of 150 kilometers with a daily capacity of up to 3000 tons.For the deployment of sets of field mainlines, their storage, maintenance and operation, special units were created – pipeline battalions.The modern use of field main pipelines is not limited to supplying fuel to military units; pipelines can often be used to extinguish large fires, as well as to supply water to settlements in the event of a natural disaster or a man-made accident.As a result,it would be advisableto introduce separate pipeline company into the regular structure at fuel bases and supply centers.In the future, it is possible to assign to individual pipeline companies the functions of not only providing military units with fuel, but also providing assistance to local units of the DSNS during the elimination of forest and large-scale fires and the elimination of floods.
Keywords: introducing separate pipeline company into the regular structure, the use of field main pipelines,the use of pipeline units in modern conditions, the use of field main pipelines in the elimination of large-scale fires and floods.

In the article, the authors provide a methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of combat training (TB) based on the use of s-shaped functions, taking into account the influence of the factor of sufficient funding on the indicators of the level of training of personnel of military units, as well as a list of basic recommendations regarding the sequence of actions of specialists in planning BP events in headquarters, services of the services of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces in general, taking into account the application of this approach. The proposed methodological approach to assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of combat training measures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, taking into account the change in the sufficiency of their funding, is based on the models that are used to describe the functioning of complex systems in systems engineering. he application of the theory of s-shaped functions during the optimization of performance indicators of the implementation of the development programs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of "Combat training", taking into account the level of sufficiency of forecast funding, will ensure the optimal planning of the timing of the planned BP activities and maximize the benefits of the planned activities, which will increase conducting BP at the Armed Forces of Ukraine as well as the reliability of the expected results of the implementation of planned activities, taking into account the amount of allocated financial resources. The main practical value of the proposed approach is that it gives a preliminary quantitative idea of the expected results of the implementation of BP measures, taking into account the influence of the factor of sufficiency of financing of these measures, which will be characterized by the level of training of personnel, paying attention to the situation regarding their financing and the level of compliance with existing ones. requirements.

This paper considers the experience in creating biotechnical systems and prospects for their use for the needs of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A wide range of tasks that face this Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine make it necessary to introduce new scientific approaches to their solution. One of the directions for solving these problems in offshore areas is the creation of new promising marine BTS, which involve specially trained marine animals. One of the directions for solving these problems in sea areas is the creation of new promising marine biotechnical systems, which will include specially trained marine animals.
Marine animals can be guaranteed to search for, lift underwater objects, provide assistance to divers during underwater operations, carry out exploration and mining of ships and hydraulic facilities, and other tasks. Most of the marine animals known to mankind cannot be trained and they will not be able to fully work as part of biotechnical systems. That is why, in our opinion, the scale of future scientific research on this topic is very impressive.
Marine mammals show a friendly attitude towards people, they are well tamed, they quickly get used to conditions of detention in captivity, to a long diet and a change in diet. They show high abilities for learning, for the formation of stable conditioned reflexes and complex forms of conditioned behavior.
Thus, we have come to the logical conclusion that, in addition to dolphins, other marine biological objects can be promising species of marine animals that can be involved in work as part of biotechnical systems.
The article gave specific recommendations regarding the ways of creating and developing domestic Naval biotechnical systems for the needs of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as the activation of existing and known components.

Published: August 2022

Antimicrobial drug resistance among bacterial and fungal communities have been created a huge challenge for clinicians in treating infections. Conventional antibiotics get non-functional with time due to the rapid adaptation of microorganisms to the environment. Therefore, exploring alternative antimicrobial drugs/nanomaterials to treat such infections is highly needed. Therefore, an alternative to conventional antibiotics, functional alkoxysilane capped Ag-NPs synthesized from 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane mediated conversion of silver cations in the presence of three different organic reducing agents, i.e., cyclohexanone, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane and formaldehyde. The antimicrobial potential of synthesized silver nanoparticles was tested against Acinetobacter bauminnii, Candida albicans (mostly causes nosocomial infections) and sporangiospores of Mucorales (Rhizopus arrhizus), which showed a promising result. In addition to low MIC values, these Ag-NPs have shown variable killing dynamics as a function of reducing agents. Further, these functionalized silver nanoparticles were mixed with siloxane polymer to prepare three different siloxane-silver nanofluids. Siloxane-silver nanofluid can be self-assembled when diluted in a desirable volatile solvent on any inanimate surfaces such as medical catheters, surgical clothes and surgical bandages. Finally, the sprays were converted into thin films on sterile plastic strips and examined for their antibacterial activity against drug-resistant bacteria A baumannii. The antibacterial activity of nanofluid thin film has been found as a function of organic reducing reagents that control the morphology of the self-assembled film.

Background: Current patterns of lifestyle, especially in young adults, linked to technological and socialdevelopment, have led to an increased prevalence of sleep disorders. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) whenpresent hampers the quality of life of the individual and the overall productivity of the community as a whole.Three major hormones which influence the metabolism of the human body namely ghrelin, leptin and insulin areknown to be affected by Inadequate sleep. The purpose of this study was to find if there is any correlation betweenExcessive daytime sleepiness and body composition in order that useful interventions may be found, to reduce theburden of these conditions.Methods: The research involved 30 subjects between 18 to 25 years of age. Body mass index, waist-hip ratio andneck circumference was calculated and the daytime sleepiness was measured using the Stanford Sleepiness Scale(SSS). The Spearman rank correlation test was used for analysis.Conclusion: Stanford Sleepiness Scale score was correlated with Body mass index, waist-hip ratio and neckcircumference individually and the p value came to be 0.5876, 0.8145 and 0.9076 respectively which is notconsidered significant. Hence, no correlation was found between daytime sleepiness and Body mass index, Waisthipratio and Neck circumference.
