The discharge of industrial effluents containing toxic heavy metals in water sources has serious consequences for human health and the environment, and biosorption appears to be an environmental-friendly and cost-effective alternative that can be used for wastewater treatment. The use of different types of agricultural waste as biosorbents for the removal of toxic heavy metals, although an alternative, is quite difficult to apply in practice because these wastes have many other uses. Based on these considerations, in this study, soybean biomass (SB), soybean waste biomass obtained from oil extraction (SBW) and biochar obtained from soybean waste pyrolysis (BC-SBW) were testes as biosorbents form the removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions, in batch systems. Under optimal conditions (pH = 5.4, 4.0 g biosorbent/L, room temperature (25 ± 1 C), contact time = 180 min), the biosorption capacity increase in the order: SB < SBW < BC-SBW for both metal ions, indicating that BC-SBW has the highest efficiency in removing toxic heavy metals. In addition, experiments on wastewater samples have shown that, in addition to significant reducing the content of heavy metals, BC-SBW also significant improved other quality indicators (such as: pH, TSM, CCO-Cr, CBO5), compared to the other biosorbents (SB and SBW). Quantitative evaluation of the biosorptive performance of each biosorbent (SB, SBW and BC-SBW) shows that BC-SBW has a real chance of being used on an industrial scale for wastewater treatment. All these aspects allowed the development of a circular approach for the use of soybean biomass in the removal processes of toxic heavy metals. This approach minimizes the shortcomings of using biomass as a biosorbent and increase the chance of using these materials in industrial practice.

Authors: Gómez-García Esteban , Alonso Ponce Rafael , Pérez-Rodríguez Fernando , Molina Terrén Cristobal
Published: August 2024

Estimation of tree volume typically focuses on excurrent forms, with less attention given to decurrent forms. Species with decurrent form, particularly hardwoods, lack a dominant stem and have large diameter branches that can be included in the merchantable wood volume. We developed a preliminary two-equation system comprising a taper equation and a merchantable whole-tree volume (stem and branches) equation for Quercus rubra L. growing in Navarra (Northern Spain). The equation system includes the diameter at breast height and total tree height as independent variables, along with merchantable height—the height up to which the stem maintains a well-defined excurrent form—as an additional variable. After estimating the stem volume, the branch volume is estimated by subtracting the stem volume from the merchantable whole-tree volume. A second order continuous autoregressive error structure was used to correct for autocorrelation between residuals from the fitted taper equation. The equations explained 90% of the observed variability in diameter and 86% of the observed variability in merchantable whole-tree volume. Both equations have been implemented in the Cubica Navarra software for use as a system of equations. These equations are considered preliminary and will be refitted or validated as additional data becomes available from various locations.

Published: August 2024

With the large-scale application of Internet of Things (IoT) in the medical field, eHealthcare has attracted wide attention. With the help of IoT devices, eHealthcare allows doctors to monitor patients’ health conditions and make recommendations accordingly. The addition of cloud computing greatly saves Healthcare Center’s (HC) computing resources. In order to provide privacy and fine-grained access control, Attribute-b ased encryption (ABE) is widely favored. HC usually operates multiple medical institutions in different regions, and each medical institution can be regarded as a attribute authority. Therefor, multi-authority (MA) ABE is usually concerned to encrypt the patient data. However for existing MA-ABE algorithms, the ciphertext is long and the efficiency of encryption and decryption is low. These problems will greatly increase the computing burden of patients and seriously affect the efficiency of data transmission. Hence we propose a decentralized key-policy MA-ABE in eHealthcare. The proposed algorithm can achieve decentralization, that is, it does not need central authority. Meanwhile, compared with existing MA-ABE algorithms, the length of ciphertext generated by our algorithm is shorter, and the efficiency of encryption and decryption is significantly improved. With the help of Java Pairing Based Cryptography, we carried out the experiments which show that our algorithm can effectively reduce the time required for encryption and decryption.

Published: August 2024

The state of the grinding wheel in the grinding process directly affects the surface quality of the workpiece. The monitoring of the wear state of the grinding wheel can effectively identify the wear information of the grinding wheel and timely and effectively repair the grinding wheel. In this paper, a multi-sensor fusion precision grinding wheel wear intelligent monitoring system is established for typical difficult-to-machine aerospace material titanium alloy, and a multi-eigenvalue fusion algorithm based on improved support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. The extracted sound emission signal wavelet packet decomposition coefficient mean square value, force signal grinding force ratio, and vibration signal effective value are used as the input of the improved support vector machine, and the identification strategy is adjusted by the entropy weight evaluation method. The results show that the monitoring system established in this paper can effectively identify the wear state of the grinding wheel, and the monitoring accuracy can reach more than 92%.

Published: August 2024

Soil potentially toxic elements (PTEs) pollution in black soil is of significant concern in China. However, research is scarce regarding the current status, ecological risk, and human health risk of PTEs in the black soil area of northeast China. In our study, 304 soil samples (0-20 cm) were collected in Gonghe Town, Hailun City. The pollution degree and spatial distribution patterns of soil PTEs were analyzed by using the single-factor pollution index (PI) and the Nemerow pollution index (NPI). The source apportionment of PTEs was carried out by combining correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and positive matrix factorization (PMF) methods. Meanwhile, the potential ecological risk (RI) and the human health risk (HI) associated with soil contamination from various sources were evaluated through the RI and the HI. The results demonstrated that the average content (mean ± standard deviation) of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn were 11.16 ± 1.32 mg/kg, 0.11 ± 0.04 mg/kg, 65.29 ± 3.46 mg/kg, 22.56 ± 1.32 mg/kg, 0.03 ± 0.01 mg/kg, 27.07 ± 1.46 mg/kg, 26.09 ± 2.84 mg/kg, and 66.01 ± 4.52 mg/kg, respectively. The overall PTEs in the study area exhibited slight pollution levels. The PCA and PMF model source apportionment was validated against each other to yield four sources, which were natural source (33.2%), irrigation source (29.5%), traffic source (23.4%), and fertilizer source (13.2%). The overall RI in the study area was determined to be at the level of slight ecological risk. The non-carcinogenic risk of PTEs to children and adults was ignored, and the carcinogenic risk was at an acceptable level. The comprehensive analysis of PTEs, pollutant sources, RI, and HI concluded that the fertilizer source should be the primary control source, with Cd identified as the first control PTE. The irrigation source and the traffic source were identified as the secondary control sources, with As, Pb, and Hg identified as the secondary control PTEs. This study revealed the status, risks, and sources of PTEs in black soils and provided a scientific basis of PTEs control for policymakers.

Published: August 2024

Crowd accident surveys have shown that regardless of the initial triggering factors, pedestrian fall behaviour is the most critical factor causing and aggravating crowd accidents in public traffic areas (PTAs). Application of pedestrian fall behaviour detection methods in PTAs is significant. Once deployed, it would prevent many pedestrians from losing life in crowed traffic areas accidents. However, most existing methods is still focused on medical assistance for the elderly. Therefore, this paper conducted bibliometric and content analyses, combining fall detection-related keywords to retrieve from internationally recognized literature databases and benchmark pedestrian behaviour datasets. Based on the analysis of the state-of-the-art (SOTA) achievements in fall detection methods, the fall detection methods were classified into different categories according to the research approach. Among them, it undertakes a comprehensive analysis of five predominant methods, namely computer vision, Internet of Things, smartphone, kinematic, and wearable device-based methods. Furthermore, the benchmark datasets including fall scenarios were introduced and compared. Finally, it provides a detailed discussion of existing fall detection methods, and possible future directions are identified considering application requirements in PTAs. This overview may help researchers understand the SOTA fall detection methods and devise new methodologies by improving and synthesizing the highlighted issues in PTAs.

Authors: Alsayed Ahmad R. , Alsayed Yazan
Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the ability of telemonitoring involving a secure elec-tronic database called “Alsayed System for Applied Medical-Care Improvement” (ASAMI) to detect at least 95% of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods: This prospective observational study, which took place over 16 months in 2022-2023, was based at a medi-cal center in Jordan. The study group participants were patients with COPD (from seven countries) with mixed levels of airflow limitation severity, and every participant was followed for six months. A customized, password-protected version of ASAMI was used to collect data during the study. The implemented diary included questions on daily symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, sputum, and daily physical activities. The detection of AECOPD events was initially based on daily questionnaires com-pleted by patients, followed by the assessment of a healthcare practitioner. Results: 87 participants were monitored for AECOPD. During the study, 78/87 (89.7%) patients presented with one or more exacerbation episodes. The mean (range) age was 59.7 (45-81) years, predominantly male (66%), with moderate airflow limitation (n=42, 48%). Compliance with the provision of daily symptom data was very high, 98% over the entire study period. A total of 189 confirmed AECOPD episodes were reported. Almost all patients and practitioners showed favorable satisfaction with the role of the ASAMI-related service (96% reported a score of 10 satisfaction). The telemonitoring tool was able to detect 99% of AECOPD episodes. Conclusion: The novel ASAMI software was effective as a telemonitoring tool to detect the episodes of AECOPD. The tool was suggested for daily, continuous reporting of respiratory symptoms, with the key benefits being ease of use, patient acceptance, and collation of supplementary data when exacerbations occur. The effects of its widespread use on decision-making can be clarified by evaluating its impact on routine clinical decision-making.

Published: August 2024

Objectives. To determine whether geographic prioritization of limited COVID-19 vaccine supply was effective for reducing geographic disparities in case rates.

Methods. Rhode Island allocated a portion of the initial COVID-19 vaccine supply to residents of Central Falls, a community already affected by structural policies and inadequate systems that perpetuate health inequities and experiencing disproportionately high COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. The policy was implemented with a culturally and linguistically appropriate community engagement plan and was intended to reduce observed disparities. Using a Bayesian causal analysis with population surveillance data, we evaluated the impact of this prioritization policy on recorded cases over the subsequent 16 weeks.

Results. Early geographic prioritization of Central Falls accelerated vaccine uptake, averting an estimated 520 cases (95% confidence interval = 22, 1418) over 16 weeks and reducing cases by approximately 34% during this period (520 averted vs 1519 expected without early prioritization).

Conclusions. Early geographic prioritization increased vaccine uptake and reduced cases in Central Falls, thereby reducing geographic disparities.

Public Health Implications. Public health institutions should consider geographic prioritization of limited vaccine supply to reduce geographic disparities in case rates. ( Am J Public Health. 2024;114(S7):S580–S589. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307741 )

Metodologicamente foram utilizadas informações existentes em banco de dados secundários, bem como adquiridas durante as etapas de campo, sobre a geologia, geomorfologia, solos e uso e cobertura. A partir desses dados, foram utilizadas operações algébricas com o auxílio do software QGIS, de acesso livre, para se atingir os objetivos estabelecidos. Identificou-se, portanto, seis unidades geoambientais: Faixa de Praia, Dunas, Zonas Úmidas, Terraços Marinhos, Leques Aluviais e Formação Barreiras; permitindo reconhecer suas características físicas, potencialidades de uso e a vulnerabilidade ambiental. O mapa de vulnerabilidade à erosão permitiu identificar que as áreas mais vulneráveis estão relacionadas às porções mais interioranas, associadas à ocupação urbana, além da relação com aspectos físicos, principalmente a pedologia e a geologia. Observou-se, ainda, a importância desses estudos geoambientais, uma vez que podem servir como subsídio para tomada de decisão no que concerne ao uso e ocupação do solo, contribuindo, assim, para a preservação e conservação de hábitats frágeis e vulneráveis.

Macrophages are crucial in the body's inflammatory response, with tightly regulated functions for optimal immune system performance. Our study reveals that the RAS-p110α signalling pathway, known for its involvement in various biological processes and tumorigenesis, regulates two vital aspects of the inflammatory response in macrophages: the initial monocyte movement and later-stage lysosomal function. Disrupting this pathway, either in a mouse model or through drug intervention, hampers the inflammatory response, leading to delayed resolution and the development of more severe acute inflammatory reactions in live models. This discovery uncovers a previously unknown role of the p110α isoform in immune regulation within macrophages, offering insight into the complex mechanisms governing their function during inflammation. With emerging potential to activate p110α using small molecules, targeting the RAS-p110α pathway could be a promising approach for treating chronic inflammation. This therapeutic prospect holds significant promise for easing inflammatory disorders and improving the quality of life for affected patients.

Model-based analysis is essential for extracting detailed information about chemical reaction kinetics from time-resolved data. Such analysis combines experimental hypotheses of the process with mathematical models related to the system's physical mechanisms. This combination can provide a concise description of complex system dynamics and extrapolate kinetic model parameters (kinetic pathways, taus, and amplitudes). The process leading to the final kinetic model requires several intermediate steps in which different assumptions and models are tested, even using different experimental data sets. This approach requires considerable experience in modeling and data comprehension, as poor decisions at any stage of time-resolved data analysis (such as time-resolved spectra and agarose gel electrophoresis) can lead to an incorrect or incomplete kinetic model, resulting in inaccurate model parameters and amplitudes. The Deep Learning Reaction Network (DLRN) can rapidly provide kinetic reaction networks, time constants, and amplitude for the system, with comparable performance and, in part, even better than a classical fitting analysis. Additionally, DLRN works in scenarios in which the initial state is a non-emitting dark state and for multiple timescales. The utility of DLRN is also shown for more than one 2D system, as it performed well for both spectral and time-resolved agarose gel electrophoresis data.

Among people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), there is an increased prevalence of age-related diseases. However, the biological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain incompletely understood. The expression of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), one of the main enzymes for endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production in the brain, is age-dependent. Here, we examined the influence of CBS/H2S in anxiety-depression-like behavior following inevitable foot shock (IFS) procedure during early adolescence (postnatal days 28-35) or adulthood (postnatal days 63-70). The results showed that adult PTSD mice had more pronounced decreases in H2S content and CBS expression in the hippocampus, associated with greater anxiety-depression-like behavior, as compared with adolescent PTSD mice. Administration of exogenous H2S (one dose for one day) significantly improved anxiety-depression-like behavior, neuroplasticity deficits, and it activated the CREB/BDNF signaling pathway in the hippocampus of adolescent PTSD mice but not those of adult PTSD mice. For optimal outcomes, two doses of exogenous H2S should be administered to adult PTSD mice. We found that increasing dose of exogenous H2S administration could improve anxiety-depression-like behavior, neuroplasticity deficits, and activate the CREB/BDNF signaling pathway, as well as increased H2S level in the hippocampus. Similar improvement in anxiety-depressive behavior was found in mice injected with CBS antibody in the hippocampus. The results suggest that CBS/H2S has an age-dependent effect on the regulation of PTSD-like behavior in mice and may promote neuroplasticity via activating the CREB/BDNF pathway post-PTSD.

Background: Up to 3.0% of women are diagnosed with endometrial cancer after hysterectomy for apparently benign conditions. There is controversy about the benefit of complementary lymphadenectomy in incidental endometrial cancer after histerectomy.
Objective: To evaluate the role complementary lymphadenectomy during a second surgery in the prognosis of patients with endometrial carcinoma.
Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who were diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma from 2005 to 2019. Two groups were evaluated: patients who underwent a second surgery involving pelvic and/or para-aortic lymphadenectomy and patients who did not undergo surgical lymph node evaluation. Logistic regression was used to identify the factors associated with whether or not a complementary lymphadenectomy was performed. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to generate survival curves, and the log-rank test was used for comparisons. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed with the Cox test.
Results: Two hundred and sixty patients were included. Among them, 120 (46.15%) underwent complementary lymphadenectomy, and 140 (53.83%) did not. The factors associated with performing complementary lymphadenectomy in a second surgical procedure were higher grade, nonendometrioid histology and deep myometrial involvement. The factors associated with adjuvant treatment were high-grade histology, deep myometrial involvement, cervical involvement and extensive lymphovascular permeation. Second-stage adjuvant lymphadenectomy was not associated with adjuvant treatment (OR 0.85 95% CI 0.35-2.02), overall survival (Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.40 95% CI 1.16-1.00) or disease-free survival (HR 0.77 95% CI 0.38-1.59).
Conclusions: complementary lymphadenectomy during the second surgery in patients with endometrial cancer does not have a therapeutic or prognostic role but is associated with receiving adjuvant treatment. Individualizing each patient is important for deciding on a second surgical procedure.
Total recall: Post-processing methods for delay-embedding and feature scaling of
reservoir computer

Reservoir computing is a machine learning method that is well-suited for complex timeseries prediction tasks. Both delay-embedding and the projection of input data into a higher-dimensional space play important roles in enabling accurate predictions. We establish simple post-processing methods that train on past node states, chosen at either uniformly or randomly-delayed timeshifts. Reservoir computer prediction performance is improved through increased feature dimension and/or better delay-embedding. From these simple post-processing methods we introduce the multi-random-timeshifting method, which recalls previous states of reservoir nodes. Multi-random-timeshifting allows for smaller reservoirs while maintaining large feature dimensions, is computationally cheap to optimise, and is our preferred post-processing method. All our post-processing methods can be translated to readout data sampled from physical reservoirs, which we demonstrate using readout data from an experimentally-realised laser reservoir system.
Climate is More Important Than Fishing in Driving Long-term Changes to Estuarine Communities in the Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Williford Damon , Anderson Joel
Published: August 2024

Commercial fishing and climate change have the potential to alter the structure and resilience of marine biotic communities; therefore, it is important to account for the combined impacts of these factors. We used a 38-year (1986–2023) dataset of fishery-independent trawl data collected by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to assess the impact of a declining commercial shrimp trawl fishery and multiple climate-related variables on the structure of fish and macroinvertebrate communities in Texas inshore waters. Species richness for fishes, arthropods, and mollusks increased despite overall declines in in species diversity. Analyses of taxa sample frequencies indicated that there were substantial differences in community structure between the time periods of 1986–1998 and 1999–2023. Redundancy analysis indicated that changes in community structure were driven by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). Our results indicate that most of the community reorganization under the current AMO warm period was due to changes in overall prevalence of a small number of taxa. Although the decline of commercial shrimping has likely had a beneficial impact by reducing mortality among many penaeid shrimp and taxa commonly captured as bycatch, this effect may have been largely overridden by the influence of climatic factors, especially those associated with positive values of the AMO. Our results suggest that the effectiveness of management strategies aimed at increasing the abundance of commercially and recreationally important species may be limited by persistent climate change.
