Current pharmacotherapeutic properties of low-dose naltrexone therapy in humans and possible therapeutic and prophylactic indications in cats and dogs
Authors: MARANGALOO Reza G. , PINAR Orhan , MEHMEDOV Tandzhu , Or Mehmet E.
Published: March 2024

Naltrexone was first developed in 1963 as an opioid antagonist for therapeutic use in opioid-dependent individuals (alcohol, narcotics, and tobacco) with a 50 mg/day dose approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 1985, Dr. Bernard Bihari explained that when naltrexone is taken in very low doses (1-5 mg/day) before bedtime, it blocks opioid receptors for 2- 4 hours and leads to the release of endorphins in the early morning hours, serving as an opioid agonist and immunomodulatory agent. This extra endorphin secretion has been proven to enhance the immune system response in AIDS patients. Endogenous opioids that affect cell development are referred to as opioid growth factor (OGF) and met-enkephalin (ME). Low-dose-naltrexone (LDN) pharmacotherapeutically possesses immunomodulatory, anticarcinogenic, antiviral, antibacterial, antiparasitic, and antifungal properties. LDN also increases the production and sensitivity of OGF, ME, and OGF receptor (OGFr) in the bloodstream, thereby enhancing quality of life. Based on these pharmacotherapeutic properties, LDN application is believed to be effective in the treatment or prophylaxis of various infectious diseases in cats and dogs, particularly vasculitis-related diseases such as feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and infectious canine hepatitis (ICH), hypothyroidism, gastrointestinal disorders, spondylosis, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune diseases, pneumonia, atopic and allergic dermatitis, pyodermas, resistant pyodermas, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or various gastrointestinal disorders, alopecia, stubborn dermatomycosis, stubborn demodicosis, various geriatric and oncogenic diseases, and deep depressions or obsessive-compulsive disorders. Thus, this review aims to evaluate the pharmacotherapeutic properties of LDN therapy usage and mechanisms of action in detail and assess the potential indications in cats and dogs based on these mechanisms.
Impact of Governance on the Organizational Performance of Professional Associations: A Study of the Poultry Sector in Morocco
Authors: OUAHI Lhoucine , ZAIME Zineb
Published: March 2024

As groups of professionals that defend their own interests, professional associations must improve their organizational performance on both individual and collective levels. However, members’ diversity, lack of interaction and difficulties in creating and diffusing information have prevented these organizations from achieving their goals. These aims may include: lobbying, scheduling and pricing production, improving product and process quality as well as promoting consumption and exports by seeking out new markets. The governance of professional associations is frequently responsible for the success or failure of a sector. As such, this paper considers how some countries develop a strategic sector by building a solid foundation for professional associations’ development. The existing bibliography as well as a specific benchmark of two emergent countries were used in this research to determine the key success factors of organizational performance in the poultry sector. The benchmark indicated that integrated production systems and strategies focused on the search for added value. Diversification (halal markets in the Middle East); aggregation (performance-based service contracts) and partnerships with production-technique leaders (especially in Japan); and territorial organization and compartmentalization (one industrial aggregator per region buying from multiple breeders) are the three key success factors of the poultry sector. Our paper aims to develop a governance approach of organizational performance to provide African leaders (particularly Moroccan leaders) of professional associations, especially in the poultry sector, a model to follow in the light of the creation of the African Poultry Confederation.

Ratio Limits of Water Storage and Outflow in Rainfall-runoff Process
Authors: Zhu Yulong , Zhou Yang , Xu Xiaorong , Meng Changqing , Wang Yuankun
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Through the numerical simulations of the hydrodynamic model, the water storage and discharge are found to be limited to envelope lines and the discharge/water depth process lines during water rising and falling showed a grid-shaped distribution. Furthermore, if a catchment is regarded as a semi-open water storage system, there is a nonlinear relationship between the inside average water depth and the outlet water depth, namely the water storage ratio curve, which resembles the shape of a “plume”. In the case of an open channel without considering spatial variability, the water storage ratio curve is limited to three values (i.e., the upper, the steady, and the lower limit), which are found to be independent of meteorological (rainfall intensity), vegetation (Manning’s coefficient), and terrain (slope gradient) conditions. Meteorological, vegetation, and terrain conditions only affect the size of the “plume” without changing its shape. Rainfall, especially weak rain (rainfall intensity is less than 5.0 mm h-1) significantly affects the fluctuations of water storage ratio, which can be divided into three modes, that is Mode Ⅰ during rainfall beginning stage, Mode Ⅱ during rainfall duration stage, and Mode Ⅲ during rainfall end stage. Results indicate that the determination of the nonlinear relationship of the water storage ratio curve under different geographical scenarios will provide new ideas for simulation and early warning of floods.
Enhanced Evaluation of Sub-daily and Daily Extreme Precipitation in Norway from Convection-Permitting Models at Regional and Local Scales

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Convection-permitting regional climate models (CPRCMs) have demonstrated enhanced capability in capturing extreme precipitation compared to regional climate models (RCMs) with convection-parameterization schemes. Despite this, a comprehensive understanding of their added values in daily or sub-daily extremes, especially at local scale, remains limited. In this study, we conduct a thorough comparison of daily and sub-daily extreme precipitation from HARMONIE-Climate model, cycle 38 at 3 km resolution (HCLIM3) and 12 km resolution (HCLIM12) across Norway’s diverse landscape, divided into eight regions, using both gridded and in-situ observations. Our main focus is to investigate the added value of CPRCMs (i.e., HCLIM3) compared to RCMs (i.e., HCLIM12) for extreme precipitation at daily and sub-daily scales from regional to local scales, and quantify to what extend CPRCM can reproduce the orographic effect on extreme precipitation at daily and sub-daily scale. We find that HCLIM3 better matches observations than HCLIM12 for daily and sub-daily precipitation extreme indices at regional scale in Norway. More specifically, HCLIM3 better captures the maximum 1-day precipitation (Rx1d) at most of the regions except south-western region in Norway. Notably, HCLIM12 shows underestimation in the complex orography for annual Rx1d. For the maximum 1-hour precipitation (Rx1h), the superiority from HCLIM3 have also been found on average, although with slightly higher wet-bias in the western, middle-inland and middle-coastal during summer. In addition, the reverse orography effect on seasonal Rx1h at regional scale can be better reproduced by HCLIM3 than HCLIM12 in most seasons except spring. At the local scale, HCLIM3 can better capture the temporal evolution of Rx1h than HCLIM12 when compared with observations between 1999–2018. However, we see that the benefit from HCLIM3 in capturing seasonal Rx1d within western region diminishes at local scale. Most interesting finding is that the added value from HCLIM3 is clearer in Rx1h than in Rx1d at both regional and local scale, especially in the extreme seasonality. In general, HCLIM3 performs better than HCLIM12 on Rx1d and Rx1h in Norway with the mean of bias distribution closer to zero, although it varies a bit among regions. Specifically, HCLIM3 performs slightly poorer in the south-western region. This study highlights the importance of more realistic convection-permitting regional climate simulations in providing reliable insights into the characteristics of precipitation extremes across Norway's eight regions. Such information is crucial for effective adaptation management to mitigate severe hydro-meteorological hazards, especially for the local extremes.

Published: March 2024

The utilisation of sawdust in block manufacture has effectively minimised the amount of waste material being disposed of in landfills. The study aimed to examine the utilisation of sawdust as a partial substitute for sand in the manufacture of blocks and assess the compressive strength of sandcrete and sawdust blocks. The experiment utilised cement grade 32.5R, pit sand as the fine aggregate, fine particles of sawdust, and a water-cement ratio of 0.65. Control specimen 0,utilised 10%, 15%, and 20% of fine sawdust particles as partial substitutes for sand. Subsequently, the materials were combined in a proportion of 1:3 to generate sawdust and sandcrete blocks. The block samples were cured by applying water at intervals of 7, 14, and 21 days, respectively. The results indicate a significant alteration in the water-cement ratio employed during the material batching and mixing procedure of the sawdust samples. Additional results revealed differences in the compressive strength and density tests between sandcrete and sawdust blocks in the control specimens. The compressive strength of sandcrete blocks was superior to that of sawdust blocks. Sandcrete blocks are suitable for load-bearing purposes in construction projects, whilst sawdust blocks are suitable for non-load-bearing walls.
Subjugated to Free Independent States of America, Boston Tea Party by Sons of Liberty and Declaration of Independence

Published: March 2024

This article explores how Native Americans and Africans have historically been treated by Europeans, with a particular emphasis on how both groups have been portrayed as barbaric and primitive in a variety of media, including literature, minstrel shows, newspapers, and advertisements. We'll talk about Native Americans' difficulties and how they gained their independence in this section. European colonization of North America resulted in the displacement of these tribes, who were then forced into reservations and subjected to assimilation strategies that were often violent and betrayed treaties. European assimilation efforts aimed to erase Native American culture, history, and identity through the establishment of boarding schools that forced Native American children to adopt European habits, attire, and language. The method was intended to "kill the Indian, save the man," as institutions such as the Carlisle Indian School illustrated. Despite the hardships and cultural loss inflicted on Native Americans, their experience in boarding schools was critical in developing future Native American leaders and building a sense of pan-Indian identity, thereby refuting the notion of them as a dying race. The article also delves into the influence of British colonial rule on Native Americans, as well as the imposition of taxes without representation, which sparked riots such as the Boston Tea Party. The Continental Congress and the following Declaration of Independence were watershed points in the American Revolution. Furthermore, the Coercive Acts meant to punish Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party, stoked colonial discontent and aided in the commencement of the American Revolutionary War. The article finishes by underlining the significance of these historical events in establishing the identity of the United States and the ongoing struggle for Native Americans' rights and acknowledgment. This in-depth examination of historical events and their interconnectivity sheds light on the complicated and often brutal interactions between Europeans, Native Americans, and Africans, which ultimately influenced the establishment of the United States and its values (Volo, 2003).

Published: March 2024

Water absorption characteristics of paddy (PB1121) were evaluated over a temperature range 40 to 80oC. The equilibrium moisture content of the grain during water absorption varied from 48.24 to 55% (d.b.). Average critical moisture content of PB1121 for soaking during parboiling was 41.67% (d.b.). Average moisture diffusivity during water absorption process was 5.06x10-10 m2.s-1 and activation energy was 53.85 kJ.mol-1. Modelling of water absorption behaviour using Page model revealed that it fitted well at individual temperatures (R2>0.9). However, the Generalized Page model provided poor performance with R2 of 0.65, MSE 0.0018 and mean relative deviation modulus (% P) 48.02, whereas multi-layer perceptron neural network model fitted well with R2 =0.99, MSE =0.0013 and P =14.69%.

Published: March 2024

Ethanol based biodiesel prepared from plant oils is environment friendly. Ethyl esters were prepared from Jatropha curcas L. oil using wet ethanol (170, 180 and 190 proof ethanol) as reactant. The crude oil had free fatty acid contents of 6.3% and acid value of 11.2. In the present study, two methods were employed for the preparation of biodiesel. The first method involved pre-treatment of crude oil with acid catalyst, followed by base-catalysed transesterification. The second method involved acid catalysed esterification/trans-esterification of crude oil, followed by base-catalysed trans-esterification reaction. The highest recovery and per cent conversion of oil into ethyl ester was achieved with acid catalyst pre-treatment for 1h using 190 proof ethanol as reactant, followed by base catalysed reaction using anhydrous ethanol (199.8 proof) .The concentration of KOH used as catalyst was 2.5% (w/v of oil). The recovery and conversion of oil into ethyl ester were 55.1 and 90%, respectively. The cost of ethyl esters (biodiesel), thus prepared, was estimated to be slightly lower as compared to the conventional process used for preparation of ethyl esters.

Drainage coefficients were computed as 45.0, 26.9, 31.7 and 360.6 mm.day-1 by Simplified Hydrologic procedure, SCS-Curve Number method, CypressCreak formula and Rational formula, respectively. The drainage coefficient computed by SCS-Curve Number method was the best fit value for the study area and was adopted for design of surface drainage system with 7-day storm and 8-year return period. Accordingly, the design discharge for surface drainage system was computed as 0.6 m3 .s-1 using SCS-CN method, and peak discharge was estimated to be 6.7 m3 .s-1 using Rational formula suitable for the design of the channel and the outfall structure, respectively. Manning’s formula for channel design and different design formulae were adopted for computation of dimensions of the broad-crested drop spillway serving as the outfall structure. The estimated cost was found well within the prescribed norms.

Agriculture industries are continuously in search of new user friendly techniques for evaluating overall quality(microbial and biochemical) of fruits as per quarantine requirements. In the current study, the potential of visibleand near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the wavelength range of 299-1100 nm and 900-1700 nm was evaluatedto determine total microbial population on the surface of seven major cultivars of mangoes collected from fourstates of India. NIR models were developed based on multiple-linear regression (MLR) and partial least square(PLS) regression employing pre-processing technologies (baseline correction, smoothening, multiplicative scattercorrection (MSC) and second-order derivatives). Wavelength range of 299-1100 nm was found to be more suitablefor determination of microbial load on the mango surface as compared to wavelength range of 900-1700 nm.PLS models were found to be the best with multiple correlation coefficients of 0.66 and 0.56, for calibration andvalidation, respectively, in the wavelength range 504.80-533.17 nm. The standard errors of calibration, predictionand differences in them were low, which demonstrated the potential of NIRS to predict microbial load on the surfaceof mango non-destructively in the wavelength range of 504.806-533.176 nm.

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) 250 g samples were blanched in water at 100˚C for 2 min, and subjected to solar cabinet drying to observe qualitative changes of the dried product. Blanching pre-treatments were done in plain water for 2 min (T1 ), and 0.5% potassium metabisuphite (T2 ). Sample without blanching was considered as control ( UT ) . The samples were then dried in a solar cabinet dryer (57 ±3˚C) . Six thin layer drying models were used to fit the experimental moisture ratio obtained for cabbage by nonlinear regression analysis using NLREG Statistical programme. Page model showed a good fit with the highest correlation for cabbage samples. Solar cabinet dried product were found good and acceptable in sensory quality. Cabbage blanched in KMS solution was the best, followed by blanching in water. The rehydration ratio (5.5) and coefficient of rehydration (0.488) were highest for cabbage blanched with KMS solution among all samples. The result showed that the rehydrated products could be well utilized for substituting the fresh product in off-season.

Precise control of plant growth is important to know the effect of external growth factors on crop yield. A nano-tech switch mechanism automaticallyoperated by plant stem expansion was designed to control the major external growth factors for plant such as light and water level in soil. Nano level expansion of stem produced by the dynamism of fluid (water) uptake by stimulation of sunlight is measured using laser interferometry to determine the elasticity of switch. Switching parameter was determined by nano level growth characteristics which were mathematically correlated with fluid flow rate and elastic property of the stem. Supply of two major external growth factors in irrigation system were controlled intelegently by plant morphological and physical response, which are dependent on other major and minor growth factors and with their variable combinations. The methodology is useful in irrigation system.

Securing Wireless Communication in Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things: Addressing Security Challenges
Authors: Patil Vivek D. , Patil Sheetal S.
Published: March 2024

Safeguarding wireless communication in cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is important to stop hackers, data breaches, and system interruptions. Multiple security risks can affect these systems because they are linked together and depend on wireless communication methods. This essay looks at the security issues that mobile and internet-connected things (IoT) have and suggests ways to fix them. Two of the biggest problems are keeping data sent over wifi networks private and secure. You can keep data safe from people listening in or changing it by using encryption methods like Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Rivest Cipher (RC4). Furthermore, security tools like Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Digital Signatures can confirm the authenticity of devices and make sure that contact is safe. An additional problem is that radio communication methods can be attacked with tactics like man-in-the-middle and repeat attacks. You can make CPS and IoT systems safer by using secure methods like Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Shell (SSH). Protecting radio contact is also important to avoid problems caused by denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Employing intrusion detection systems (IDS) and firewalls can assist in finding and blocking harmful traffic, ensuring that communication stays unbroken. Lastly, protecting radio transmission in CPS and IoT is important to avoid many security risks. The security of CPS and IoT systems can be improved by using encryption methods, identification mechanisms, and safe protocols to keep data private, secure, and accessible.
