Authors: Mithapara Sandeep , Shah Setu P. , Mehta Deval , Madan Sonal , Mistry Ekta
Published: August 2021

Evolution in the field of dental implantology made the replacement of missing tooth easy and quick. During initial phase of evolution, there was a need of 3 to 6 months of healing period to get teeth on implants but with advancement of technology and research, immediate replacement of missing teeth without waiting period could become a possibility.

To access the efficacy of immediate loading in dental implantology using Hexacone® (IHDE DENTAL - Switzerland) dental implant. The objectives were to evaluate pain, infection, recession, loosening of abutment, fracture of implant/crown, de-cementation, peri-implant radiolucency, and marginal bone loss.

Five patients (3 male and 2 female) who needed teeth replacement were included in the study. Among 5 patients, 3 patients needed single tooth replacement and the remaining 2 needed segmental replacement. Out of 7 implants 6 implants were placed in the healed bone and 1 was placed in the extraction socket. In case of healed bone, permanent prosthesis were given on 3 day. In case of extraction site, temporary acrylic crown was given on 2 day, which was replaced by permanent prosthesis after 3 month. These patients were evaluated at 7 day, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months clinically and radiographically.

Infection, prosthetic problems, peri-apical radiolucency, and implant mobility were not observed and marginal bone loss was observed during follow-up periods. On 6 months follow up, 0.5mm and 0.45mm marginal mean bone loss was observed on mesial and distal aspect respectively whereas the same was 1.24mm and 1.14 mm on 12 months follow-up respectively.

The immediate loading for dental implants is a successful procedure that decreases the time for the patients to obtain a final restoration satisfying both esthetical and functional problems. Immediately loaded implants survive equally well in extraction socket. No significant difference was seen in survival when implants were placed in healed bone and extraction socket.

Published: August 2021

The thermal characterization of building envelope materials is a crucial phase in understanding the building energy performance, and it is commonly evaluated through the thermal transmittance, often synthetically indicated as U-value. There are several ways to experimentally assess the U-value of insulating materials and multi-layers systems, usually defined by means of experimental in-situ heat flux measurements, where, however, a considerable variation of the boundary conditions may occur, making the measurement difficult. In this work, the experimental thermal characterization of different insulating materials applied to an X-lam wall is presented. The analysis is carried out using a Guarded Hot Box, which allowed to reproduce real, repeatable, and controlled operating conditions. Two different insulating materials were selected: expanded polystyrene (EPS) with graphite and hemp. The experimental tests were carried out by imposing a temperature difference reproducing the common operating conditions (0°C in cold chamber and 20°C in hot chamber). Steady-state conditions (constant temperature in the chambers) have been imposed to determine the thermal properties of the multi-layer systems. The tests, lasted 72 hours each, showed U-values equal to 0.15 W/m2K ± 3.1% for EPS with graphite and 0.19 W/m2K ± 3.1% for hemp.
Definition of Probability That Energy Production Differs from Demand, a Statistical Approach
Authors: Rossi Federico , Gambelli Alberto Maria , Presciutti Andrea
Published: August 2021

Starting from the average trend of energy demand and energy production related to a specific user, the goal is to produce an immediate estimate, as close as possible to the true value (clearly achievable only through a precise and punctual measurement), of the difference existing between these two values, in order to “a priori” understand whether an energy production surplus should be expected, or the opposite trend will occur. If energy produced exceeds the request, two solutions will be possible. An accumulation system can be provided, that allows to avoid taking energy from the grid whenever the trend reserves and the demand exceeds the production. The second solution consists in directly introduce the whole surplus of energy produced in the electricity grid. Similarly, even if the energy required exceeds the amount of energy produced, two different solutions can be envisaged. In both cases, it will be necessary to take energy from the electricity grid. An accumulation system could be created, sized on the maximum difference between production and energy demand, evaluated when the production exceeds the request (if the production never exceeds the request, it would not make sense to talk about accumulation) or, even in this case, a direct exchange might be promoted, both incoming and outgoing, with the electricity grid. Topic of the present paper is to not reasoning any more in terms of energy performances as a function of time but, on the contrary, determine the probability that the difference existing between production and demand assumes a certain value and, based on this, estimate the amount of energy to be stored and/or exchange with the grid.
Preliminary Numerical Investigation on the Optimization of a Single Bunch of Elastocaloric Elements to be Employed in an Experimental Device

Published: August 2021

Nowadays about 20% of the worldwide energy consumption is attributable to refrigeration almost based on vapor compression. In the scientific literature in the class of the eco-friendly cooling technologies alternative to vapour compression there is solid state cooling. In this field, the scientific community has devoted the attention specifically toward elastocaloric refrigeration. Elastocaloric refrigeration is based on the latent heat associated with the transformation process of the martensitic phase, found in Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) when they are subjected to uniaxial stress cycles of loading and unloading. SMAs are characterized by the mechanical property of being able to return to the initial form once the uniaxial stress has been removed. By exploiting this effect in a reverse regenerative thermodynamic cycle called Active elastocaloric regenerative refrigeration cycle (AeR), a satisfactory cooling effect is achievable. In this paper, the results of a numerical investigation conducted, through a 2-D model, on a single bunch of elastocaloric elements are shown. Specifically, the heat transfer and the energy performances are studied both by varying the geometrical parameters of the elements and by varying the auxiliary fluid (air) velocity.

Authors: Costanzo Vincenzo , Evola Gianpiero , Gagliano Antonio , Marletta Luigi , Nocera Francesco
Published: August 2021

In the framework of the ongoing EU-funded innovation project called e-SAFE (energy and Seismic Affordable rEnovation solutions), several solutions for the energy and seismic deep renovation of reinforced-concrete (RC) framed buildings in the EU countries are going to be developed and demonstrated. One of these solutions makes use of cross laminated timber (CLT) panels connected to the existing RC frame through specifically designed dampers to increase the seismic and energy performances of the existing envelope. This paper aims to preliminary assess the hygrothermal performance of such CLT panels when applied to various typical wall structures under different climate conditions in Italy through numerical simulations carried out according to the EN 13788 Standard and considering various indoor vapor production classes. Results show that the most problematic existing wall structures are uninsulated concrete walls, for which a risk of surface condensation and mold growth is predicted in all climate zones because of their low thermal resistance (U-value of 3.55 W·m-2·K-1), followed by uninsulated solid brick walls (U-value of 1.81 W·m-2·K-1). The application of CLT panels is found to not only significantly improve the thermal behaviour of the walls, but also to eliminate any surface and interstitial condensation issues in all climate zones.

Published: August 2021

Extensive and intensive green roofs and vegetated walls should be used to improve the livability in cities, especially in densely built-up context, in order to optimize their contribution on energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions, improving thermal comfort conditions and ensuring a greater storm-water runoff. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of urban morphology and to quantify the impact of green surfaces and plants on outdoor thermal comfort conditions. The analysis was applied to six neighborhoods in the city of Turin, identified as typical districts with different building geometries, urban contexts and green presence. The outdoor thermal comfort conditions were assessed calculating a set of indicators, such as the predicted mean vote and the physiological equivalent temperature, with the support of ENVI-met tool. Retrofit scenarios were hypothesized, and outdoor thermal comfort conditions were investigated before and after the installation of green roofs and vegetated areas. The result allowed to understand how thermal comfort vary, considering the building geometry, urban morphology, and green areas in different zones of the city of Turin. By analyzing neighborhoods, it is possible to identify the optimal built environment that ensure better thermal comfort conditions. These models and tools could support urban planners in defining the best measures to improve the liveability and quality in the built environment considering local constraints and the real characteristics of the territory or in designing new neighborhoods.

Friedrich Nietzsche as a Hero of Pathographies Written on the Territory of Russian Empire
Authors: Menzhulin Vadym
Published: August 2021

At the beginning of the twentieth century, when psychoanalysis was just emerging and the tradition of writing psychoanalytic biographies (psychobiographies) did not yet exist, the genre of pathography was widespread among psychiatrists, who considered the life of a prominent figure through the prism of his or her disease. One of the heroes of the number of pathological investigations was Friedrich Nietzsche, whose figure and philosophical views instigated wide interest. This tendency was manifested among the psychiatrists working in the Russian Empire, including the territory of contemporary Ukraine. The analysis of Nietzsche’s illness and creativity, proposed by a psychiatrist from Odessa Ivan Khmelevskyi, helps to clarify the historical boundaries between the pathography and psychobiography. The current article for the first time attempts to reproduce the basic data on the life and research activities of this now almost forgotten psychiatrist. The specificity of I. Khmelevskyi’s views on F. Nietzsche becomes more obvious due to the consideration of the position of Vladimir Chyzh, another Russian psychiatrist who was also interested in the figure and ideas of the German philosopher. It is shown that the pathographies of F. Nietzsche, proposed by I. Khmelevskyi and V. Chyzh, reflected both some features of the development of the genre and general trends in understanding of Nietzsche’s figure and teachings within the Russian context. It is shown that V. Chyzh and I. Khmelevskyi, like many scientists of their time, shared some ideas about evolution and degeneration, which are now considered outdated. At the same time, it has been shown that both psychiatrists confronted with the philosophy and figure of F. Nietzsche were forced to limit the explanatory ambitions of psychiatry and avoid the usual for pathographers of that time tendency to consider genius as a pathology. It is also noted that the fact of Nietzsche’s illness, if not overemphasized, can be accepted to the philosophical discourse of the present time.
Bioethical Quality of Life Concept Through the Eyes of Critics
Authors: Rassudina Kateryna
Published: August 2021

Bioethics is an interdisciplinary science that deals with the moral aspects of medicine, biotechnology and the value of life in general. Quality of life concept is the basis for one of the models of bioethics. Its supporters understand the value of human life by relying on the categories of its qualitative characteristics. They argue that the value of life is relative and depends on certain criteria, and prove the permissibility to terminate it in some cases. Quality of life conception is criticized, above all, by those scholars who rely on religious ideas of the equal value and inviolability of all people’s lives. This article reveals several examples of such criticism in the works of Polish and American authors: T. Biesaga, H. Ciach, G. Hołub, P. Kieniewicz, R. P. George and P. Lee. Citing the arguments of that Christian thinkers, the author forms her own attitude to the problem. The ethical and ontological sources of quality of life concept, namely utilitarianism and naturalism, become the main object of criticism. It is significant that in the utilitarian appeal to maximize happiness as pleasure and calculate the gain or loss they see an attempt to establish the primacy of the overall well-being over an individual’s life as well as a reason for killing those individuals whose lives do not meet quality criteria and impair overall well-being. They also criticize such a consequence of the naturalistic view as reduction of the personality to its manifestations. The absence of such manifestations becomes for the supporters of the quality of life concept the basis for conclusion about a low quality of life of some individuals. One more critical remark towards the quality of life concept concern erasing of differences between humans and animals and their interests. The technocratic attitude that permits any manipulations of a human life if only they can be performed is criticized too. The author demonstrates that the fundamental fault of the quality of life concept which is criticized by all its opponents is a limited understanding of human nature and human life.

​Physiological, Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms of Seed Priming: A Review
Authors: Diya A. , Beena R. , Jayalekshmy V.G.
Published: August 2021

Legumes being a major source of protein have a wide range of economic importance. But the major constraints in growing legumes are poor germination, seedling emergence, non uniform stand establishment and crop mortality leading to lower pulse productivity. Thus, pre-sowing seed treatments are critical parameters which attribute to efficient plant growth and high yield. Uniform seed germination, seedling growth and uniform establishment are the critical stages during the growth of crops. Seed priming is a very promising presowing treatment employed to improve seed germination, better crop establishment, enhance the seed quality and induces tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses in plants thereby providing a balanced healthy diet to the citizens. Priming is a cost effective and feasible strategy involving controlled hydration of seeds followed by drying to stimulate the pre-germinative metabolic activities to occur promoting rapid germination of seedlings, break dormancy and enhance crop yield. Enzymatic, metabolic and biochemical processes of the primed seeds attributes to rapid and uniform seedling emergence. Seed priming methods comprises of conventional methods including hydro priming, osmopriming, biopriming, chemical priming and the advanced methods including nano priming and priming with physical agents. In this review paper, the underlying physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of priming in pulses were discussed.

El ordenamiento territorial y la construcción de territorialidades negras en la región del Medio Atrato
Authors: Martínez Sandra Patricia
Published: August 2021

Ofrece una interpretación de la actual organización espacial del territorio chocoano, a partir del análisis de la dinámica interacción que se produce entre las formas de territorialidad practicadas por las comunidades negras tradicionalmente asentadas en la región, el proceso de reivindicación terri-torial y étnica liderado por el movimiento social de negritudes y la política oficial de ordenamiento territorial. Tomando como unidad de análisis la cuenca media del río Atrato, el trabajo interpreta las relaciones que se construyen entre un medio físico –cuya biodiversidad acusa una enorme fragilidad ecosistémica–, los ambientes construidos de los hábitats ribereños y las formas de organización social, laboral y política de la sociedad negra.Pero además de un análisis descriptivo de las relaciones que las comunidades medioatrateñas tejen en el territorio, interesa analizar aquí los mecanismos de adaptación, transformación o resistencia de estas comunidades al modelo convencional de desarrollo, centrando el análisis en el discurso y las acciones del movimiento social de comunidades negras, que a través del proceso de titulación colectiva han permitido imaginar formas alternativas de desarrollo y de organización territorial.

Inferior Myocardial Infarction and Total AV Block in a Patient with Single Ostium in the Right Sinus of Valsava (A Rare Congenital Coronary Anomaly)
Authors: Zam Zami Imam Mahbub
Published: August 2021

A 51-year-old male suffered from a STEMI inferior and a total AV block. Echocardiography shows hypokinetic wall motion at the inferior and inferoseptal that result in decreased EF. Coronary angiography revealed a single ostium of coronary artery without any stenosis. Cardiac CT revealed a single coronary artery arises from a single ostium from RCC and divided into RCA and LCA. There was an inter-arterial course of proximal RCA and proximal LCA between aorta and pulmonal artery. There was an acute angle take off of RCA from aorta.  Inter-arterial course and acute angle take off of coronary artery from aorta result in kinking and narrowing of coronary artery that contributes to myocardial infarction. There is a mismatch between myocardial demand which is increased during exertion and myocardial oxygen delivery that decreased during exertion. A surgical anterior pulmonal transposition is the suggested choice of therapy.

A 44-year-old man was admitted to hospital to be performed re-thrombectomy after previously performed thrombectomy at the referring hospital but did not show clinical improvement. CT angiography results before re-thrombectomy showed a central thrombus measuring 1.1 cm in diameter, and an impression of 2.6 cm long at the branching of the right external Iliaca artery which caused total obstruction of the right illiaca external artery to the distal. Aortofemoral bypass graft surgery is a procedure utilized commonly for the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease. The treatment given to manage symptoms if medical management or minimally invasive therapy, such as balloon angioplasty and stenting, was unsuccessful or unsuitable for the patient. Aortofemoral bypass graft surgical procedure was performed on the patient. However, post procedure angiography showed no visible flow through the newly placed graft. A repair graft procedure was planned for the patient, but the patient refused to undergo further surgical procedures.
A Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis based on MacLaurin Expansion of the Completed Zeta Function
Authors: Zhang Weicun
Published: August 2021

The basic idea is to expand the completed zeta function $\xi(s)$ in MacLaurin series (polynomial). Thus, by $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$, we have the following polynomial equation \begin{equation}\nonumber \begin {split} &\xi(0)+\xi^{'}(0)s+\frac{\xi^{''}(0)}{2!}s^{2}+\cdots+\frac{\xi^{(n)}(0)}{n!}s^{n}+\cdots\\ =&\xi(0)+\xi^{'}(0)(1-s)+\frac{\xi^{''}(0)}{2!}(1-s)^{2}+\cdots+\frac{\xi^{(n)}(0)}{n!}(1-s)^{n}+\cdots \end {split} \end{equation} which finally leads to $s=1-s, s=\alpha \pm j\beta, \beta\neq 0$, then a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis can be achieved.

Pectoralis Major Tendon Tear
Authors: Magone Kevin , Ben-Ari Erel , Gyftopoulos Soterios , Virk Mandeep
Published: August 2021

» Pectoralis major (PM) tendon tears are predominantly seen in young men, and the majority of tears occur as tendon avulsions involving the sternal head. Weightlifting, specifically bench-pressing, and sporting activities with eccentric overloading of the PM tendon are the 2 most common activities that result in PM injury.

» Early surgical repair or reconstruction should be offered to younger, active patients with a complete PM tear; the majority of the patients undergoing surgical repair achieve good-to-excellent outcomes.

» Nonsurgical treatment of a complete PM tear is an option but will result in cosmetic deformity and a deficit in adduction strength of the arm. Outcomes after nonsurgical treatment of complete PM tears are less satisfactory than those obtained after surgical treatment.

» Currently, there is no consensus on the chronological definition of PM tears (acute versus chronic), the critical time limit for performing surgical repair, the ideal fixation device (cortical button, bone tunnel, or suture anchors), the indications for allograft use, and the ideal rehabilitation protocol after treatment of PM tears.

Published: August 2021

» Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is one of the most common causes of early hip articular cartilage wear and labral damage, and subsequently leads to the onset of hip osteoarthritis.

» Cam-type FAI impingement lesions can be best identified with a 90° Dunn lateral radiograph and a cross-table lateral radiograph with 15° of internal rotation; the alpha angle and the femoral head-neck offset are the most used predictive radiographic markers.

» FAI lesions with pincer impingement are associated with acetabular retroversion and are more difficult to identify on traditional radiographic imaging; however, the presence of a crossover sign, an ischial spine sign, and/or a posterior wall sign can be useful radiographic markers.

» Advanced imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) can also be beneficial in the evaluation of FAI and labral pathology; MRA is more sensitive than MRI in detecting intra-articular pathology.

» Computer-assisted navigation for preoperative planning and intraoperative surgical assistance are promising technologies; however, additional studies are needed before they can be utilized safely and effectively.
