Authors: Markiewicz Jakub , Łapiński Sławomir , Pilarska-Mazurek Magdalena , Zawieska Dorota , Levytskyi Volodymyr
Published: January 2023

The use of low-cost, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been growing in many sectors. Due to the sufficient accuracy of the products acquired from UAVs, this technology has also been applied in geodesy and remote sensing. It results from many factors: the low prices of UAVs and the availability of different sensors and software applications, which allows for simple data processing. Due to the required high accuracy, the inventory of a mine is usually performed with the use of conventional surveying techniques, such as tacheometry. This paper discusses the possibilities of applying low-cost UAVs to inventory open-cut mining. Using Phantom 3 Professional equipped with a factory-made camera, RGB photographs were acquired, which were then processed using three commercial software applications: Pix4D, 3D Survey and Agisoft Metashape. Different algorithms for image orientation (Structure-from-Motion, SfM) and dense point generation (Multi-View Stereo, MVS) were implemented for each of those applications, which influenced the accuracy of the final products. The results of the experiments proved that the highest accuracy in terms of photograph processing was achieved using the Pix4D software. The mean difference between the DTM (Digital Terrain Model) generated from surveys, and the DTM generated from photographs using Pix4D was equal to 0.106 m. This paper compared the DTMs and the DSMs (Digital Surface Models) generated by the selected software applications. The models generated with the use of Pix4D were assumed as a reference. According to the analysis of the DTMs and the DSMs, the smallest differences were obtained for the models generated by Pix4D and Agisoft Metashape. They equalled 0.080 m for the DTM and 0.246 m for the DSM. The differences between the DSMs generated by Pix4D and 3D Survey were two times bigger; the differences between the DTMs generated by those software applications were six times bigger. The differences between the models may result from the presence of vegetation and escarpments at the edges of the test site and different algorithms for generating dense point clouds applied in particular applications.
The possibility of using close-range photogrammetry in the inventory of historic complex basements - case study
Authors: Doroszuk Klaudia , Markiewicz Jakub
Published: January 2023

In the community, historical objects play the role of witness to past history. Due to that fact, it is necessary to preserve and reconstruct cultural heritage objects and sites for the future generation. Image-based photogrammetric methods have been widely applied for this purpose for many years. Nowadays, Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS; range-based method), due to its advantages such as speed of data acquisition, high accuracy and independence from light conditions, is increasingly used in the inventory of complex historic buildings. Despite this, the development of modern image processing methods, i.e. Structure-from-Motion (SfM) and Multi-View Stereo (MVS), has meant that close-range photogrammetric techniques are still competitive with TLS. The article aimed to present the possibility of using close-range photogrammetry to inventory historic complex basements. Laser scanning was performed as part of the measurements (with a Z+F 5006h scanner), and a series of close-range images were taken with a full-frame non-metric Canon 5D Mark II camera. Based on the combined SfM and MVS methods, a dense point cloud was generated, which in a subsequent data processing step served as the basis for generating 3D models and cross-sections. To assess the quality of the generated documentation, the TLS data were used as ground-truth data, and the shape and cross-section mapping quality was compared. It is evident from the investment presented that the use of close-range photogrammetry methods makes it possible to generate documentation that meets the requirements of architectural studies and similar shape accuracy for historic complex basements.

Published: January 2023

Introduction:
Standard treatment for pleomorhic adenoma (PA) of the parotid gland is complete surgical excision. Radiotherapy (RT) as a primary treatment method is controversial and generally is not applied. However RT might be considered as an adjuvant therapy in some selected cases.
Aim:
Aim of this work was to define recommendations for RT in patients with parotid gland PA after primary surgical treatment
Methods:
Based on the results currently published in the literature and the authors' own experiences from leading Polish laryngological and oncological clinical centers dealing with the treatment of the salivary gland tumors, the indications for irradiation and its methods in patients with PA of the salivary glands were discussed.
Results:
Authors recommend personalized treatment based on multidisciplinary panel decision in each patient. Adjuvant RT should be considered in cases of suboptimal resection of primary PA (close margin, intraoperative tumor spillage, risk of recurrence based on clinical factors and histological features), and in cases of PA recurrence. Doses/fractions and techniques of irradiation are recommended depending on clinical extension of the primary or recurrent tumor.
Conclusions:
Adjuvant RT in PA treatment should be a result of personalized multidisciplinary decision after considering all possible risks of irradiation consequences. Recommendations for this treatment should be taken into consideration.

The present study was aimed at recording the prevalence and types of various disorders in the domestic animals of hill region. The retrospective data of three years (2014â€“16) was collected from outpatient case record of veterinary dispensary unit, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Mukteswar. A total of 577 cases were recorded during the period, of which, majority of cases were of cattle followed by goats. The autumn observed highest percentage of cases with lowest % in winter. Ectoparasitic infestation, endoparasitism, diarrhea and weakness were noticed as major clinical problems in cattle. Among infectious diseases, mastitis prevailed most among all other diseases of cattle. Haematuria, injury/wound and repeat breeding were also recorded frequently in cattle. Highest prevalence (70.58%) of haematuria was observed in the age group of 5â€“10 years. Retrospective epidemiological data on goats revealed that ecto-endoparasitic infestation and stomatitis were major diseases/disorders observed among goats of the region. About 46.92% of goat patients were recorded in autumn while winter observed 10.05% cases only. The retrospective epidemiological data generated during the present study helps in better understanding of the animal disease pattern in temperate climatic conditions, which will further help in implementing control measures against infectious and non-infectious diseases.

Published: January 2023

Bovine babesiosis and theileriosis are fatal tick borne haemoparasites of vertebrates imposing serious constraints on health and productivity of livestock. Additionally, the recovered animals become persistent carriers and play a significant role in disease epidemiology. The present investigation describes the development and evaluation of duplex PCR assay for simultaneous detection of Babesia bigemina (B. bigemina) and Theileria annulata (T. annulata) in cattle. Following in silico analysis for candidate target genes representing each of the haemoparasites, an optimised duplex PCR assay was established using two sets of primers, ssurRNA and cytob1 for genomic DNA amplification of B. bigemina and T. annulata encoding product size of 689 and 312 bp, respectively. The results were compared with conventional microscopy and monoplex PCR assay. The sensitivity of each primer pair was checked using serial dilutions of parasite DNA, while specificity was determined by testing for amplification from DNA of different stocks of each pathogen. The duplex PCR detected each parasite species with the same level of sensitivity, irrespective of whether its DNA was amplified in isolation or with DNA mixture representing the other pathogens. Additionally, single and duplex PCRs could able to detect each species with equal sensitivity in serially diluted DNA representing mixtures of both the pathogen, and nonspecific amplification from non target species was not observed. The developed assay represents an economical, simple, sensitive, specific and reproducible diagnostic tool for simultaneous detection of tropical theileriosis and bovine babesiosis and boosting targeted selective control strategy in endemic areas.

The present study was designed to measure the effect of melatonin (MT) on apoptosis of sperm in mithun. Ejaculates (20) were collected from mithun bulls and were split into five equal aliquots, diluted with the TEYC extender. (Gr 1: semen without additives (control), Gr 2 to Gr 6: semen was diluted with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mM of MT respectively). Apoptotic sperm percentage was estimated using commercially available apoptotic assessment kit at immediately after dilution, equilibration and post-thaw. Inclusion of MT into diluent resulted in a significant decrease in apoptotic sperm percentage at different stage of semen preservation as compared to untreated control group. Moreover, MT at 3 mM had significantly lower apoptotic sperm percentage than MT at 1 mM, 2 mM or 4 mM or 5 mM stored sperm at different stage. It was concluded that MT at 3 mM is suitable to minimize apoptosis in mithun sperm to pursuit future sperm preservation protocols.

Published: January 2023

Surveys were conducted in 24 villages of 4 districts of Nagaland, i.e. Kohima, Phek, Zuhneboto and Dimapur to characterise Tho-Tho cattle of Nagaland. A total of 242 cattle of different age and sex including 186 Tho-Tho and 56 desi/non-descript were recorded for physical and ten different morphometric traits. To know management and performance of Tho-Tho cattle, 76 farmers were interviewed form these districts. It was observed that Tho-Tho cattle was mainly reared for beef as people preferred beef over pork. Cattle population of the state showed sharp decline of 51% during the years 2007–2012 and needs immediate attention. Based on different physical and morphometric traits, it may be concluded Tho-Tho cattle are distinct as compared to indigenous cattle of Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur and Siri of Sikkim. Tho-Tho cattle were larger in size as compared of desi/non descript cattle of the state. Management and performance was more or less similar in the whole north-east region i.e extensive system of management. Multi-variate canonical discriminate analysis using different morphometric traits of indigenous cattle of Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim (Siri) and Tripura showed that Siri (Sikkim) and Tho-Tho (Nagaland) were significantly different than other indigenous cattle of the region and it was supported by physical traits also. Therefore, it is recommended that Tho-Tho cattle population may be registered as distinct cattle breed from Nagaland.

Published: January 2023

Present experiment was conducted to study the relative economics of crossbred (Landrace×Desi) pigs with thirty six crossbred barrows reared under 3 different floor space allowances (n=12 each) having group size of 4 pigs/pen. One group (TIS) was provided floor space as per Indian Standards (0.9, 1.35 and 1.8 m2/pig for weaner, grower and finisher stages, respectively) specifications, while other two groups with 33% (T2/3) and 50% (T1/2) reduced floor space allowances. Only covered floor area was provided for all the groups. Different parameters analyzed during the study involved growth, feed conversion efficiency, requirement of water and labour for floor washing, and some other economic variables. Pigs were reared up to 28 weeks of age. Relative economics of pig rearing for three floor space allocation groups was calculated using partial budget analysis. Major performance traits, i.e. average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) did not differ significantly among the groups. Although body weights of T2/3 and T1/2 groups were marginally higher than TIS group. In contrary to minor savings of labour, large quantity of water was saved in T1/2 and T2/3 groups (805.4 liters/pig and 400.1 liters/pig, respectively) than TIS group between weaner and finisher stages. Additionally, input costs of  ₹` 145 and ` ₹ 96 per pig was saved by providing floor space as per T1/2 and T2/3 groups, respectively than TIS group. It can be concluded that economic gains were maximum in 50% floor space reduction group without adverse effect on performance traits of crossbred pigs.

NON-NUTRITIVE SWEETENERS AND ITS HEALTH IMPLICATIONS -A REVIEW
Authors: Channesh Patel  , Sathya Kumaresan
Published: January 2023

Nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS) have been widely used in various therapeutic and dairy   products and have become an inseparable part of our routine life. They deliver far less calories and intense sweetness than their sugar-containing counterparts. The United States Food and Drug Administration recognizes Aspartame, saccharine, sucralose, neotame, acesulfame-K, and stevia safe for consumption by diabetics. They also aid in weight loss. However, there is inconclusive evidence to support most of their uses. In addition, the lack of interventional studies has proven inadequate to evaluate their efficacy in different populations like pregnant, breastfeeding women. Furthermore, the susceptible population comprising of diabetics, epileptic patients are more likely to sustain the deteriorating effects of NNS-containing products. The current review signifies the benefits and the potential risks of using them based on dietary guidelines.
Raman Spectroscopy and Chemical Bonding of BaFCl, BaFBr, and BaFl
Authors: Tuschel David
Published: January 2023

We investigated in detail the Raman scattering of barium fluorohalides BaFX (X = Cl, Br, I) in an effort to characterize changes in structure and chemical bonding. The overall picture that emerges from the BaFX Raman data is that with the compositional change from X = Cl → Br → I, electron density shifts from the axial Ba-X bond to the equatorial Ba-X bonds with compositional change to the heavier halide, and that the charge distribution becomes more delocalized in the halide layers. This change in electron density indicates an increase in covalency of the Ba-X bonds from Cl to I.

Published: January 2023

The nature theory of Chinese medicine (CM) is a core basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and CM chemical fingerprint technology has been widely used in identification and research of CM. Following the previous study results, the UV spectrum data of 61 CMs with clear cold-hot nature, in which 30 CMs are “cold” medicines and 31 CMs are “hot” medicines, were analyzed. Based on the constructed CM fingerprint database, a retrieval scheme is studied to build a predictive identification model used to classify the cold-hot nature of CMs. According to the experimental results, this prediction model is best for the identification of the UV spectrum of petroleum ether solvents; compared with existing classical models, the constructed model has better predictive stability and extrapolation. The proposed prediction model is proven to be effective.
