Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in a Software-Defined Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Kumar Dr. Santosh , Raja Piyush
Published: April 2023

Incorporating a Software-Defined Network (SDN) paradigm into a Wireless Sensors Network makes it possible to realise Software-Defined Wireless Sensor Networks (SDWSNs), also known as Software-Defined Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The reason for this is to investigate and discover answers to the issues that are brought about by WSN. Both artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning play a key role in our culture and are assisting in the development of systems that are able to manage themselves on their own. Our culture is influenced significantly by both of these. WSNs have found use in a wide variety of industrial applications, including some in which the network's performance and dependability are of the utmost importance to the accomplishment of the overall project. Using a wide array of cutting-edge AI approaches can considerably improve both the usability and dependability of these apps. This can be accomplished by enhancing the functionality of the implementations. Looking further into application of Artificial Intelligence SDN techniques might result in advances in network management, security, or routing in SDWSN. If these issues are addressed, the network may become more reliable. In this paper, we examine the application of machine learning algorithms in software-defined networks (SDN) and analyse the prospect of utilising these AI in software-defined wireless sensor networks (SDWSN) to overcome the challenges presented by WSN and increase the performance as well as the dependability of the system.

Authors: N M Pravina  , Arun Chella Samraj
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Accurate preclinical prosthodontics training is a part of curriculum monitored so that the preclinical students perform the operation with much attention and care enabling the educators to improve the preclinical training. The aim of the study is to assess the students’ preclinical knowledge and skills of fixed prosthodontic training after transition to clinical training.
Materials and Methods: A questionnaire survey is conducted among the students involved in clinical practice of the fixed partial dentures.
Results: All 100% of the students were aware of the importance of the abutment evaluation before tooth preparation. Hundred percent of the students performed radiograph evaluation of the tooth and 47% of them expressed difficulty in correlating pulp size and position of the tooth radiographically. The majority of the students (84, 84%) thought that there is much difference in the tactile sense between natural teeth and typodont teeth. Pulp health preservation is vital for all restorative procedures; hence, this response from the students should be considered more carefully. More than half of the respondents, 74 students (74%), thought that clinical variation of tooth position is a difficult challenge during the transition stage. Tooth position variations such as supra-eruption, tilting, and drifting are common in the clinical situation which cannot be simulated in the preclinical training. However, most of the students feel that it was a formidable challenge in the initial stage of clinical training.
Conclusion: Preclinical training is the most challenging for the educationist. Managing the transition for students from preclinical learning to providing patient care in the clinic is an important issue for oral health-care educators

Sociocultural Drivers of Spirituality in Indian Saints: A Principal Component Analysis
Authors: Mishra Badrinarayan
Published: April 2023

Human health is multidomain. However, the physical component has dominated health research. Spiritual health, the component traditionally considered the pivot for health and wellness has taken a back seat. Exploring its’ different determinants in the traditional preachers will enhance our understanding of them and will be a guide for their use in the common man’s life.

Aim: To find out important sociocultural factors/drivers of the spiritual health of Indian Saints.

Objectives: To identify the important social and cultural determinants of spirituality in the study group by factor extraction through Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

Methodology: 958 connecting Indian Saints who congregated at Kumbh Mela in the holy city of Ujjain in 2016 were randomly selected in equal proportion from different sects(clans). Their sociocultural background and spiritual score were evaluated by a sociocultural questionnaire and SAI (Spiritual Assessment Inventory). The contribution of sociocultural factors to spiritual score was analyzed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and linear regression modeling. Statistical significance was established at p < 0.05.

Results: 20 sociocultural factors were evaluated for component loading (factor extraction) and their impact on the spiritual score. The KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure) score of Sampling Adequacy, Bartlett's test of sphericity and Communalities extraction were 0.57, sig. of 0.00 and ≥ 0.4 respectively thereby supporting; factor analysis. On PCA 6 had an eigenvalue > 1. All of these 6 principal components were found maintainable on The Monte Carlo PCA for Parallel Analysis and they together explained 66.20% of the cumulative variance. Their respective taxonomies were emancipation (PC 1), family heritage (PC 2), stimuli (PC 3), faith (PC 4), education (PC 5), and self-hegemony (PC 6). On regression analysis, the four important influencers of spirituality were; participants’ origin from a joint family (p – 0.00), their daily routine for spiritual enhancement (p-0.01), respect for other religions (p-0.00), and self-motivation (p-0.01).

Conclusion: Emancipation (freedom from family bondage), the presence of religious family background, a fixed daily routine, belief in all religions, an unremitting drive for spiritual education, and self-hegemony were dominant components that determined spirituality in Indian Saints. Translating these drivers for the benefit of commoners may enrich their overall health and wellness.

Published: April 2023

Introduction: Increased demand of service 24 hours around the clock has divided the workers into 2 domains as “Fixed duty” and “Shift duty”. Personals associated with shift duty are increasing in numbers day by day. Shift duty or more specifically night duty is associated with increased stress which results in high morbidity and decrease in work efficiency. Cortisol hormone and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) are useful parameters to determine the effects of stress. Aim: To find any change in cortisol levels, HRV, Athens score among the fixed duty and shift duty healthcare providers. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital at Kolkata between July, 15th to Sept, 15th 2021. Predesigned and pretested questionnaire was made and ethical clearance was taken from institutional IEC. Then after taking consent total 120 (60 fixed duty and 60 shift duty) healthcare providers were recruited for the study. Subjects of the study filled up a questionnaire {including Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS)}. After applying exclusion criteria (any cardiovascular, neurological, psychological, sleep disorder) 120 health individuals were taken five minutes short-term HRV (time and frequency domain) recording in supine posture and 4 PM blood sample (for cortisol) were obtained from the participants which was further analysed in Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CLI). Data was analysed in SPSS version 20.0. Statistical tests like student t-test, Cron bach’s alpha and chi-square tests were applied significant p<0.05 (95% CI). Results: After analysis, shift duty workers showed a significant (p<0.001, Odd’s 10.706) higher chance of having insomnia (Athens score >6) than fixed duty workers. Blood test showed that shift duty workers had significantly high evening cortisol level than fixed duty workers (p= 0.036). The time domain of HRV showed that the parameters like Standard Deviation all NN interval (SDNN) (p=0.001), Mean HR (p=0.037), RMSSD (p <0.001), NN50 (p=0.006), pNN50 (p=0.002) were significantly different in the two groups. Whereas the frequency domain of HRV showed that HF power was lower and LF power (p=0.002), LF/HF ratio (p <0.001) were significantly higher in shift duty workers. Conclusion: The study showed that shift duty workers had comparatively higher stress levels resulting in significantly high sympathetic drive and increased risk of insomnia. This can be associated with morbidity and ill health in the shifting duty workers.
Oblique Transference Technique for Multi Retailer Supply Chain System Inventory Control
Authors: Verma Rohit Kumar , Mamita
Published: April 2023

Crisis sidelong shipments between retailers to meet customer demand can be an effective way for businesses to raise management levels or possibly reduce costs in a production network. The cost effects of sidelong parcel approaches in a store network organization with a single stock source and different brick and mortar stores are examined in this work with the aid of a created model. Crisis sidelong parcels or, at the very least, the development of an item among the areas at a similar echelon level due to material shortage might help the retailers, who potentially differ in their lead time and request boundaries. In general, an interest is anticipated to be lost or delayed in being bought if it occurs in a location where there is no stock nearby. However, in this case, parallel parcels serve as a crisis supply in the event that a stock out occurs. The parcel rule states to constantly send when there is a shortage at one location and stock nearby at the other. A major finding is that, in terms of cost reduction, a horizontal parcel approach is significantly superior to one using no such parcels, though at the expense of increased transportation movement. Additionally, with the help of the model developed and after addressing the model problem, we finally realized the benefits of sidelong parcel in terms of an increase in client administration level and overcoming the vulnerability of interest and lead-time.

Published: April 2023

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern. & Coss) is a natural amphidiploid which is the greatest pre-dominating crop of oilseed Brassica group. A study was undertaken to estimate the genetic variability, correlation and path coefficient analysis of yield and its contributing traits in 75 mustard genotypes grown in Randomized Block Design with two replications. The analysis of variance was highly significant for all the characters investigated. All thirteen characters were showed higher values of phenotypic coefficients of variation than genotypic coefficients of variation. The higher heritability in broad sense was estimated for all the characters. High value of heritability indicates that it may be due to higher contribution of genotypic components. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of means were recorded for days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), number(s) of secondary branches per plant, length of main raceme (cm), siliquae length (cm), seed yield per plant (g), yield per plot (g), harvest index and biological yield that indicated predominance of additive gene action in the inheritance of these traits. The higher direct positive genotypic and phenotypic correlations for the biological yield, numbers of primary branches, numbers of siliquae on main raceme and numbers of secondary branches were documented. Whereas, days to maturity and siliquae length showed direct negative correlations with grain yield. Seventy-five genotypes, included in study were grouped into 6 clusters. The maximum inter cluster D2 value indicated that genotypes of cluster III and IV are not so closely related while the genotypes of cluster I and III are closely related. It is apparent therefore; the genotypes of various clusters differ so significantly with regards to their relative genetic distance as indicated from the high variation of D2 values. This makes it clear that the genotypes included in these clusters have a wide range of genetic diversity and may be used in a mustard hybridization programme to develop higher yielding cultivars.

Published: April 2023

Objective: Tumor surgeons now pay special attention to the alteration in breast form following breast-conserving surgery. Safety of breast-conserving margins and postoperative breast appearance are typically challenging in conventional breast-conserving surgery due to the effect of variables such as big breast tumors or unusual placements. It's important to remember that postoperative breast deformity is a real possibility. Breast-conserving tumor plastic surgery combines tumor excision with plastic surgery, allowing for a more thorough removal of the tumor. It provides a more humane treatment option for the majority of patients by ensuring the safety of surgical margins, considering the aesthetic effects, increasing the breast-conserving opportunities for patients with tumors in special parts, and expanding the indications for breast-conserving surgery. It also greatly improves the postoperative quality of life and mental state. In this article, we deeply examine the current state of knowledge concerning the effectiveness, safety, and appropriate patient population for breast-conserving surgery in the context of tumor plastic surgery.
Pre‐operative pulmonary artery pulsatility index does not predict mortality post‐cardiac transplantation
Authors: Bart Nicole , Hungerford Sara , Emmanuel Sam , Kotlyar Eugene , Keogh Anne , MacDonald Peter , Muller David , Hayward Christopher
Published: April 2023

Aims

The pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) is a novel haemodynamic marker that has previously been shown to predict right ventricular dysfunction and mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension and advanced heart failure. Utility of the PAPi in predicting outcomes post‐cardiac transplantation is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the prognostic significance of PAPi against pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) for the predication of morbidity and all‐cause mortality post‐transplantation.

Methods and results

All patients who underwent cardiac transplantation over a 6 year period were studied. Pre‐operative right heart catheter data was obtained. The PAPi was calculated as follows: (systolic pulmonary artery pressure [sPAP] − diastolic pulmonary artery pressure [dPAP])/right atrial (RA) pressure. One hundred fifty‐eight patients with a mean age of 49 ± 14 years were studied (43 with a pre‐transplant left ventricular assist device [LVAD]). Three patients were excluded due to missing data. In the non‐LVAD group, there was no significant difference in PAPi or PVR, nor was there any association with post‐operative outcome (including stratification by natural history sub‐type; all P > 0.05). In the LVAD group, there was no association with PAPi and post‐operative outcome; however, PVR was predictive of post‐operative mortality (mortality: 2.8 ± 1.3 WU vs. alive: 1.7 ± 0.7 WU; P = 0.005).

Conclusions

The PAPi was not able to discriminate mortality outcomes for patients post‐cardiac transplantation. Pulmonary vascular resistance remains a marker of mortality in an LVAD cohort bridged to transplant (central illustration).

Authors: Alizadeh Kharkeshi Behrad , Mehregan Mahmood , Sheykhi Mohammad
Published: April 2023

In this research article, for recovering the waste heat of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell, a combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) system with a new arrangement is proposed. The main system components are a PEM, an absorption chiller, an auxiliary boiler, and hydrogen and heat storage tanks. The electrochemical model of PEM is presented for evaluating the power and heat of the fuel cell. Also, energy and exergy efficiencies and fuel energy saving ratio of the CCHP system are evaluated by the steady‐state thermodynamic model, and for the first time, the impacts of critical operating parameters of PEM such as current density, operating pressure, and temperature on the annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction and annual CO2 tax reduction as well as fuel saving are studied. The results show that the proposed CCHP system's energy efficiency is evaluated at about 66%. With the increase in temperature of PEM, the exergy efficiency reaches 37%. In addition, using this system can reduce CO2 emissions by 191 ton per year. Also, this system can reduce the tax cost of carbon dioxide emissions by about $ 5700 per year.

Published: April 2023

Objective

The objective of this research was to study the clinical features, genetic characteristics, muscle imaging, and muscle pathological changes of a cohort of Chinese patients with mutations in the valosin‐containing protein (VCP) gene.

Methods

Nine patients from seven Chinese pedigrees were recruited. Variants were detected by next‐generation sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Thigh muscle MRIs were performed in five patients. All the patients received muscle biopsies.

Results

Seven variants in VCP were identified, and two were novel. All the patients presented with adult‐onset muscle weakness. The appearance of “isolated island sign” or “contra‐isolated island sign” was observed in four of the five the patients on muscle MRIs. Muscle biopsies demonstrated the combination of neuropathic and myopathic changes in seven patients and muscle dystrophic changes in two patients. Notably, rimmed vacuoles and cytoplasmic VCP and p62‐positive protein aggregates were observed in all the patients.

Conclusion

Our finding of novel variants expanded the mutational spectrum of the VCP gene. This cohort of Chinese patients with VCP mutations mainly present with inclusion body myopathy with predominant limb–girdle distribution. The characteristic pattern of fatty infiltration, especially the “isolated island” and “contra‐isolated island” on muscle MRI, along with rimmed vacuoles in muscle biopsy, provides valuable clues for guiding genetic diagnostic workup.
Simultaneous occurrence and compensating effects of multi‐type disorder in two‐dimensional photonic structures
Authors: Röhlig David , Kuhn Eduard , Thränhardt Angela , Blaudeck Thomas
Published: April 2023

Finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) simulations of the transmission spectra of planar small‐footprint photonic components with up to four types of morphological disorder as a materials parameter are performed with the aim to identify the individual contributions of the type of disorder to the spectral features. We concentrate on optical components that have a small footprint, that is, their extensions in two dimensions are roughly one order of magnitude higher than the wavelength. They are modeled by a regular pattern of cylinders in a 7 × 10 square lattice, modified by the introduction of a disorder parameter varying either presence, radius, position, distance, or dielectric properties of the cylinders and the surrounding medium. Although the observation that an increasing amount of disorder results in a decreasing transmission intensity of an optical component is well known, quantitative studies of the particular spectral changes and a clear correlation especially with multiple types and amounts of disorder are rare. From these findings, we propose a model component that can incur a compensation of disorder‐induced spectral effects of geometric type with such effects of dielectric type. Our work shows that several types of disorder as well as the mixing two types of disorder can be used for an intentional adaptation of the spectral transmission characteristics and may be considered in the design of small‐footprint photonic components such as scatterers, diffusers, and waveguides.

Saturated adaptive feedback control of electrical‐optical gyro‐stabilized platform based on cascaded adaptive extended state observer with complex disturbances
Authors: Wu Yuefei , Yang Fengbo
Published: April 2023

It is still an open and challenging issue to the typical position control problems of the three‐axis electrical‐optical gyro‐stabilized platform systems (TEOGSP), due to inherent characteristics, for example, measurement noise, input saturation, parametric uncertainties, largely unknown load disturbance. To solve this problem, a saturated adaptive robust feedback controller using an adaptive cascaded extended state observer (SAFCESO) is proposed for compromising between the measurement noise effect and the sensitivity to disturbances. Firstly, the matched and mismatched disturbances existing in the TEOGSP system are estimated and rejected by the cascaded adaptive extended state observers (CESO). Secondly, the parametric uncertainties are evaluated by the adaptive control, and the match disturbances are attenuated by the robust control. Moreover, the adaptive robust control law does not require the velocity measurement signal and internal dynamics information of the system, which is practical to implement. Hence, all various uncertainties could be mainly compensated. Then, the improved auxiliary systems governed by smooth switching functions are developed and incorporated into the control design to compensate for the effect of the input saturation. Finally, the command filters are introduced to limit the magnitude of the virtual control and to calculate the derivative of the virtual control, respectively. The extensive comparative experimental results in the TEOGSP systems showed that the proposed SAFCESO method had superiorities in terms of high‐precision tracking accuracy, robustness, and noise reduction.

Atopic dermatitis in skin of colour. Part 1: new discoveries in epidemiology and pathogenesis
Authors: Gan Christian , Mahil Satveer , Pink Andrew , Rodrigues Michelle
Published: April 2023

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a global condition that has a rising prevalence in developing countries such as those within South-east Asia and Latin America. Recent research represents the condition as a heterogeneous disease of distinct endotypes among different ethnic groups. Variation between ethnic groups in physiological measures such as transepidermal water loss, ceramide/+, skin sensitivity, alongside pathological barrier and immune system dysfunction processes, may ultimately lead to the distinct phenotypes seen clinically. AD in patients of White ethnicities is typified by filaggrin dysfunction, more T helper (Th)1 and less Th17 involvement, with less epidermal thickness compared with patients of Black or Asian ethnicities. AD in patients of Black ethnic groups is Th2/Th22-skewed, with robust IgE expression, and less Th1 and Th17 involvement than patients of Asian or White ethnicities. AD across South Asian and East Asian populations is characterized by Th17/Th22 upregulation. Differences also exist in how AD psychosocially has an impact on individuals of different ethnic groups.

The Dutch Supreme Court recently applied the criteria for online intermediary liability as formulated by the Court of Justice of the European Union in its YouTube/Cyando ruling (joined cases C-682/18 and C-683/18). The Supreme Court ruled that the operator of a Usenet platform, where copyright-protected works were shared illegally, was not liable for copyright infringement. In particular, the Supreme Court held that there was no intervention by the operator that led to an act of a communication to the public being performed, because the operator had not contributed to giving access to the copyright-protected works.
Presequence protease reverses mitochondria‐specific amyloid‐β‐induced mitophagy to protect mitochondria
Authors: Dou Yunxiao , Tan Yan
Published: April 2023

Amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptide is accumulated in the mitochondria and has been shown to play a central role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It has been shown that exposure of neurons to aggregated Aβ can result in damaged mitochondria and dysregulated mitophagy, indicating that changes in the Aβ content of mitochondria may affect the levels of mitophagy and interfere with the progression of AD. However, the direct influence of mitochondrial Aβ on mitophagy has not been elucidated. In the present study, the effect of the mitochondria‐specific Aβ was assessed following a direct change of Aβ content in the mitochondria. We directly change mitochondrial Aβ by transfecting cells with mitochondria‐associated plasmids, including the mitochondrial outer membrane protein translocase 22 (TOMM22) and 40 (TOMM40) or presequence protease (PreP) overexpression plasmids. The changes in the levels of mitophagy were assessed by TEM, Western blot, mito‐Keima construct, organelle tracker, and probe JC‐1 assay. We demonstrated that increased mitochondrial Aβ content enhance mitophagy levels; overexpression of PreP could reverse the mitochondrial Aβ‐induced mitophagy levels in vivo and in vitro by reversing the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the mitochondrial membrane potential. The data provide novel insight into the role of mitochondria‐specific Aβ in the progression of AD pathophysiology.

). Meanwhile, no significant difference was found in the mean leakage between the modified disposable syringe and the reamer techniques. Conclusion. Amongst all the techniques used in this study, endodontic pressure syringe could be preferred as an obturation technique in primary teeth when used with Endoflas obturation material because of its potential to provide good apical seal.
Effect of Dry–Wet Cycling on the Degradation Characteristics and Mechanisms of Red Sandstone

Published: April 2023

The physical and mechanical parameters and degradation mechanisms of red sandstone in the Mount Wuyi scenic area were studied under the action of dry–wet cycles. Dry–wet cycle, acoustic wave velocity, water saturation rate, and triaxial compression tests were conducted, aided by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction testing techniques. The study’s results show that the dry–wet cycle effect on red sandstone is a major factor in the degradation of its physical and mechanical parameters and that its microstructural characteristics are significantly affected. The P-wave velocity, peak strength, elastic modulus, internal friction angle, and cohesion decreased, the water content and peak strain increased, and the elastic modulus was the most sensitive to dry–wet cycles. A dry–wet cycle’s action severely damages the microstructural integrity of the red sandstone. After 15 dry–wet cycles, the interstitial fillings between the skeletal grains are dissolved over a large area, microfractures are interwoven throughout, and the structure is severely fragmented. The microstructural degradation of the red sandstone by dry–wet cycles mainly manifests in the dissolution of the interstitial filler, and the relative content of calcite as an interstitial filler is reduced by 46.6% after 15 dry–wet cycles. The proposed strength decay prediction equation has reference significance for the strength prediction of the red sand conglomerate in the project. This study’s results can provide theoretical support for the landscape protection of rock masses and the prevention of engineering geological hazards.
