Single-Route Linear Catalytic Mechanism: A New, Kinetico-Thermodynamic Form of the Complex Reaction Rate
Authors: Yablonsky Gregory S. , Constales Denis , Marin Guy B.
Published: October 2020

For a complex catalytic reaction with a single-route linear mechanism, a new, kinetico-thermodynamic form of the steady-state reaction rate is obtained, and we show how its symmetries in terms of the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters allow better discerning their influence on the result. Its reciprocal is equal to the sum of n terms (n is the number of complex reaction steps), each of which is the product of a kinetic factor multiplied by a thermodynamic factor. The kinetic factor is the reciprocal apparent kinetic coefficient of the i-th step. The thermodynamic factor is a function of the apparent equilibrium constants of the i-th equilibrium subsystem, which includes the (n−1) other steps. This kinetico-thermodynamic form separates the kinetic and thermodynamic factors. The result is extended to the case of a buffer substance. It is promising for distinguishing the influence of kinetic and thermodynamic factors in the complex reaction rate. The developed theory is illustrated by examples taken from heterogeneous catalysis.

Authors: Kanchanatripop Phusit , Zhang Dafang
Published: October 2020

In order to improve the accuracy of image edge detection, this paper studies the adaptive image edge detection technology based on discrete algorithm and classical Canny operator. First, the traditional sub-pixel edge detection method is illustrated based on the related literature research. Then, Canny operator is used for detection, the edge model of the quadric curve is established using discrete data, and the adaptive image edge parameters are obtained using one-dimensional gray moment. Experimental results show that the accuracy of feature detection is 99%, which can be applied to the practice of image edge detection to a certain extent.

Authors: Herrando-Grabulosa Mireia , Casas Caty , Talbot Kevin , Aguilera José
Published: October 2020

The carboxyl-terminal domain of the heavy chain of tetanus toxin (Hc-TeTx) exerts a neuroprotective effect in neurodegenerative diseases via the activation of signaling pathways related to neurotrophins, and also through inhibiting apoptotic cell death. Here, we demonstrate that Hc-TeTx preserves motoneurons from chronic excitotoxicity in an in vitro model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Furthermore, we found that PI3-K/Akt pathway, but not p21ras/MAPK pathway, is involved in their beneficial effects under chronic excitotoxicity. Moreover, we corroborate the capacity of the Hc-TeTx to be transported retrogradely into the spinal motor neurons and also its capacity to bind to the motoneuron-like cell line NSC-34. These findings suggest a possible therapeutic tool to improve motoneuron preservation in neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
On a Crucial Role of Gravity in the Formation of Elementary Particles
Authors: Alharthy Ahmed , Kassandrov Vladimir V.
Published: October 2020

We consider the model of minimally interacting electromagnetic, gravitational and massive scalar fields free of any additional nonlinearities. In the dimensionless form, the Lagranginan contains only one parameter γ=(mG/e)2 which corresponds to the ratio of gravitational and electromagnetic interactions and, for a typical elementary particle, is about 10−40 in value. However, regular (soliton-like) solutions can exist only for γ≠0, so that gravity would be necessary to form the structure of an (extended) elementary particle. Unfortunately (in the stationary spherically symmetrical case), the numerical procedure breaks in the range γ≤0.9 so that whether the particle-like solutions actually exist in the model remains unclear. Nonetheless, for γ∼1 we obtain, making use of the minimal energy requirement, a discrete set of (horizon-free) electrically charged regular solutions of the Planck’s range mass and dimensions (“maximons”, “planckeons”, etc.). In the limit γ→∞, the model reduces to the well-known coupled system of the Einstein and Klein–Gordon equations. We obtain—to our knowledge—for the first time, the discrete spectrum of neutral soliton-like solutions (“mini-boson stars”, “soliton stars”, etc.)

Published: October 2020

Bovine endometritis is a serious pathogen-induced infectious disease that affects the physiological processes of estrus, pregnancy and the postpartum condition. The inflamed endometrium responds by activating an inflammatory intracellular signaling cascade that leads to increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress is closely related to several pathological conditions in perinatal dairy cows and play a key role in tissue damage. Hydroxytyrosol (HT), a natural phenolic alcohol with a strong antioxidant activity, displayed a wide range of biological effect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effects of HT in an in vitro model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in bovine uterine endometrial cells. Our results showed that HT had a significant protective effect in LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress. HT was also able to increase the capacity of endogenous antioxidant systems through the up-regulation of the NRF2 pathway. Furthermore, HT restored the tight junction protein expressions. In conclusion, our results showed the protective effects of HT in LPS-stimulated BEND cells. Therefore, the results of this study suggest an important protective role of HT in the treatment and prevention of uterine pathologies in dairy cows.
Size Distribution and Phosphate Removal Capacity of Nano Zero-Valent Iron (nZVI): Influence of pH and Ionic Strength
Authors: Lin Dantong , Hu Liming , Lo Irene M. C. , Yu Zhigang
Published: October 2020

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been considered as a promising material for groundwater remediation in the past few decades. The size distribution of nZVI is one of the main factors that influences its transport capability and remediation capacity. However, studies on the size distribution of nZVI under different environmental conditions are still limited. In this study, the influence of the pH (pH = 5, 7, 9) and ionic strength (IS = 0, 15, 30, 45 mM) on the size distribution of nZVI are investigated. The dynamic light scattering (DLS) method is used to study the variation of the size distribution of nZVI aggregate with time, and batch tests are performed to evaluate the efficiency of phosphate removal. Meanwhile, the phosphate removal capacity of nZVI with different size distribution was examined. Experimental results show that under low IS and high pH conditions, nZVI aggregate exhibited a stable, narrow and one-peak size distribution. By contrast, under high IS and low pH conditions, nZVI exhibited a wide and complicated size distribution with multiple peak values. This different pattern in size distribution was further explained by the Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory. The phosphate removal rate of nZVI under acidic and neutral conditions is higher than 98% but is only 68% under alkaline conditions. The phosphate removal capacity is insensitive to the variation of IS since the removal rate is higher than 97% for different IS conditions. Favorable environmental conditions for colloidal stability and removal capacity of nZVI can be different, which needs comprehensive consideration in the application.
Stochastic Modelling of Small-Scale Perturbation
Authors: Flandoli Franco , Pappalettera Umberto
Published: October 2020

In this paper we propose a stochastic model reduction procedure for deterministic equations from geophysical fluid dynamics. Once large-scale and small-scale components of the dynamics have been identified, our method consists in modelling stochastically the small scales and, as a result, we obtain that a transport-type Stratonovich noise is sufficient to model the influence of the small scale structures on the large scales ones. This work aims to contribute to motivate the use of stochastic models in fluid mechanics and identifies examples of noise of interest for the reduction of complexity of the interaction between scales. The ideas are presented in full generality and applied to specific examples in the last section.

Published: October 2020

Electrical conductivity (EC), one of the most widely used indices for water quality assessment, has been applied to predict the salinity of the Babol-Rood River, the greatest source of irrigation water in northern Iran. This study uses two individual—M5 Prime (M5P) and random forest (RF)—and eight novel hybrid algorithms—bagging-M5P, bagging-RF, random subspace (RS)-M5P, RS-RF, random committee (RC)-M5P, RC-RF, additive regression (AR)-M5P, and AR-RF—to predict EC. Thirty-six years of observations collected by the Mazandaran Regional Water Authority were randomly divided into two sets: 70% from the period 1980 to 2008 was used as model-training data and 30% from 2009 to 2016 was used as testing data to validate the models. Several water quality variables—pH, HCO3−, Cl−, SO42−, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, river discharge (Q), and total dissolved solids (TDS)—were modeling inputs. Using EC and the correlation coefficients (CC) of the water quality variables, a set of nine input combinations were established. TDS, the most effective input variable, had the highest EC-CC (r = 0.91), and it was also determined to be the most important input variable among the input combinations. All models were trained and each model’s prediction power was evaluated with the testing data. Several quantitative criteria and visual comparisons were used to evaluate modeling capabilities. Results indicate that, in most cases, hybrid algorithms enhance individual algorithms’ predictive powers. The AR algorithm enhanced both M5P and RF predictions better than bagging, RS, and RC. M5P performed better than RF. Further, AR-M5P outperformed all other algorithms (R2 = 0.995, RMSE = 8.90 μs/cm, MAE = 6.20 μs/cm, NSE = 0.994 and PBIAS = −0.042). The hybridization of machine learning methods has significantly improved model performance to capture maximum salinity values, which is essential in water resource management.
A Numerical Study of the Influence of Channel-Scale Secondary Circulation on Mixing Processes Downstream of River Junctions

Published: October 2020

A rapid downstream weakening of the processes that drive the intensity of transverse mixing at the confluence of large rivers has been identified in the literature and attributed to the progressive reduction in channel scale secondary circulation and shear-driven mixing with distance downstream from the junction. These processes are investigated in this paper using a three-dimensional computation of the Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations combined with a Reynolds stress turbulence model for the confluence of the Kama and Vishera rivers in the Russian Urals. Simulations were carried out for three different configurations: an idealized planform with a rectangular cross-section (R), the natural planform with a rectangular cross-section (P), and the natural planform with the measured bathymetry (N), each one for three different discharge ratios. Results show that in the idealized configuration (R), the initial vortices that form due to channel-scale pressure gradients decline rapidly with distance downstream. Mixing is slow and incomplete at more than 10 multiples of channel width downstream from the junction corner. However, when the natural planform and bathymetry are introduced (N), rates of mixing increase dramatically at the junction corner and are maintained with distance downstream. Comparison with the P case suggests that it is the bathymetry that drives the most rapid mixing and notably when the discharge ratio is such that a single channel-scale vortex develops aided by curvature in the post junction channel. This effect is strongest when the discharge of the tributary that has the same direction of curvature as the post junction channel is greatest. A comprehensive set of field data are required to test this conclusion. If it holds, theoretical models of mixing processes in rivers will need to take into account the effects of bathymetry upon the interaction between river discharge ratio, secondary circulation development, and mixing rates.

Research results include the study of grain productivity of maize hybrids of three groups of ripeness against the background of fertilizer usage in autumn, nitrogen dressing in spring, and plant density. In the arid 2018, top dressing against the background without fertilization in autumn was more effective; in 2019, early ripening hybrid ‘Krasnodar 194 MV’ provided maximum yield at a rate of 6.05 t/ha when N30P30K60 fertilization was carried out in autumn and N30 top dressing in spring. The average yield (6.30 t/ha) provided early ripening hybrid when plant density was 70 thousand per hectare and fertilizer levels reached N60P60K60. Mid-season hybrid ‘Krasnodar 377 AMV’ under similar plant density and a half-dose of fertilizer led to obtaining maximum yield (7.67 t/ha).

Published: October 2020

Purpose Active pain self-management (PSM) for patients with chronic pain is assumed to require multidisciplinary care, leaving prescribing analgesics the most accessible option for general practitioners (GPs). We sought to upskill GPs in multimodalPSM with a harm minimisation approach for any opioid prescribing. Design and Methodology Having developed an educational training resource, a multidisciplinary team delivered the program to attendees at a GP conference in 2017. The educational package comprised pre-readings, a 6-hour interactive, skills-based workshop, and post-workshop resources. The single-group intervention was evaluated with an original and unvalidated pre/post-test (three months) survey of four domains: knowledge; attitudes; utilisation of strategies involving PSM and opioid harm minimization. Paired t-tests were conducted on each domain score and overall, with effect sizes assessed with Cohen’s d. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the data lacking a post-test survey response. Post-survey scores were imputed via chained regression equations, then paired t-tests analyses were conducted on imputed datasets using Rubin's method to pool estimates. FindingsOf 99 participants, 33 returned both surveys for primary analysis. These were combined in the sensitivity analysis with 60 unpaired surveys. Internal consistency was modest (Cronbach’s alpha 0.736). Primary analysis demonstrated significant self-reported improvements in each educational domain with overall score increasing 10.54 points out of 130 (p<0.001 Cohen’s d 1.11). Improvements were similar in a sensitivity analysis. Discussion, Limitations and Conclusions This study found that a brief GP educational package may be a viable intervention for facilitating PSM and promoting safer prescribing strategies. Outcomes at three months, from this unvalidated survey instrument, suggest improvements in knowledge, attitudes and self-reported facilitation of PSM and opioid prescribing. As this study did not measure clinician behaviour or patient outcomes objectively, further educational research is indicated to confirm these findings and identify how best to deliver chronic pain management training.

Authors: M Nasir , M Mannan , ASM Chowdhury , T Zahan , RA Perveen
Published: October 2020

Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease-2019 is putting a massive strain on the vulnerable healthcare systems in low and middle-income countries like Bangladesh. Inequitable access to healthcare is further widened by the socio-economic gap and sense of insecurity during this pandemic. Self-medication is a common practice in Bangladesh as it provides a low-cost alternative for people, which involves inappropriate and injudicious use of medicines to treat self-recognized symptoms by the people. During the outbreak of COVID-19 in Dhaka city, the tendency of taking medicines by own decision was increased alarmingly due to unusual distress, caused by high self-awareness of their health and buying capacity of medication.
Objectives: To observe the prevalence, pattern, sources, and impact of self-medication practice among the respondents with high socio-economic standings and education.
Setting: Citizens living in Dhaka city, Bangladesh, during the COVID-19 outbreak from April 2020 to May 2020.
Method: Cross-sectional online survey conducted on 626 citizens without having a background of medical knowledge or related to any healthcare services (doctors, nurses, pharmacists, medical students) by structured questionnaires during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Outcome measures: Frequency of self-medication, commonly used antimicrobial agents, symptoms causing self-medication, sources of inspiration, relation with COVID-19 test results, economic burden involved in self-medication during the outbreak.
El recurso de adhesión en el Código Procesal Civil Peruano
Authors: Cruz Lezcano Carlos
Published: October 2020

El Código Procesal Civil recoge la figura de la adhesión a la apelación, como también lo hizo el Código de Procedimientos Civiles de 1912, en ambos casos, sin un desarrollo puntual. En esta perspectiva, el autor aborda el tema bajo el marco teórico propio del recurso de apelación, desarrollando cada uno de los principios e instituciones que le son esenciales; llegando a fundamentar, frente a la postura que identifica como amplia, una posición a la que caracteriza como restringida, y según la cual la adhesión a la apelación es, en rigor, un recurso, excepcional, de autonomía relativa y de alcance restringido, muy similar a la apelación incidental del proceso civil italiano, distante, por tanto, de la impugnación a la apelación del derecho procesal español.
La libertad de imprenta en las Cortes y en la Constitución de Cádiz de 1812
Authors: Fernández Rodríguez José Julio
Published: October 2020

La libertad de imprenta fue una de las cuestiones más importantes incorporadas en la Constitución de Cádiz de 1812, representando una ruptura con el antiguo régimen conservador, y la asunción de los valores del liberalismo que permiten la intervención del pueblo en la esfera pública sin control previo de los órganos de poder, procurando con dicho paso inicial el cambio del sistema político. Ante la oposición de los sectores conservadores, supuso el punto inicial para la defensa iusnaturalista de una serie de derechos fundamentales y libertades públicas del hombre por el solo hecho de ser hombre.

En todo este proceso hacia la consolidación del liberalismo como alternativa de nuevo sistema político, la prensa escrita jugó un papel de suma importancia, ya que permitió la difusión de las nuevas ideas e informaciones a favor del pueblo y de allí la gran importancia que tuvo la libertad de imprenta para lograr más adelante dicha consolidación.

The expression level of ubiquitin activating (UBA) gene was evaluated in 18 genotypes with differential grain iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) (including landraces, high yielding and released biofortified varieties) at panicle initiation stage. The relative expression of the UBA gene was analysed with three yield checks- BPT 5204, MTU 1010 and Swarna and the highest gene expression level were found in land race Kalanamak followed by Jalpriya and Taroari Basmati.Significant positive correlation of expression of the UBA gene with grain Fe content suggests the possible role of ubiquitin activating enzymes in addition to the reported ubiquitin-conjugating and ligases in Fe homeostasis. The understanding of ubiquitination regulated nutrient transport mechanism is yet to be explored hence, more in-depth studies in future may provide better insight to understand the role of ubiquitination in nutrient homeostasis and develop better strategies for biofortification.

Authors: Waris Amtul , Rao N Sunder
Published: October 2020

This paper examined the factors affecting adoption of climate resilient practices in paddy production using data collected from farmers of Andhra Pradesh during the year 2019. Majority of the farmers reported increase in temperature, unpredictability in weather, reduced duration of winter, uneven and irregular rainfall as the climatic change events. The practices being followed by farmers which fit the adaptation criteria were timely sowing and weeding, proper spacing and formation of soil bunds. The climate resilient practices most preferred and prioritized by paddy farmers were direct sown rice, drought tolerant varieties, weather forecast services, integrated nutrient management, growing of green manure crops followed by crop diversification, crop insurance, system of rice intensification (SRI) and use of leaf color chart. Market demand, assured irrigation, land fertility, and availability of finance were the major factors governing the decision to grow crops. The educational level of farmers exhibited significant and positive correlation with practices namely SRI, use of leaf color chart, crop insurance, weather forecast services and drought tolerant varieties. Analysis of factors influencing the adoption of climate resilient paddy production practices would help to promote and disseminate these practices to increase the adoption rate and also aid in the framing of appropriate policies.

La Inversión de las Empresas Manufactureras y el Impacto de las Tasas de Interés
Authors:   Banco de México, Sánchez Oscar
Published: October 2020

En este documento se estudia el efecto que los cambios en la tasa de interés provocan sobre el gasto de inversión de las empresas manufactureras en México. Para llevar a cabo el análisis, se considera el papel que las imperfecciones del mercado de crédito han tenido en la transmisión de la política monetaria en México. Esto se hace a través de la estimación de funciones de inversión con base en una metodología estándar, donde se resalta la diferencia entre el costo interno y el externo de los recursos. Entre los resultados principales se encuentra que los fondos internos, en la forma de flujos de efectivo, han jugado un papel relevante en la explicación del comportamiento del gasto en capital realizado por las empresas manufactureras. En particular, se encuentra que las empresas pequeñas parecen ser más sensibles a variaciones en el flujo de efectivo. Además, se encuentra evidencia de que el gasto de inversión de las empresas manufactureras responde también a cambios en la tasa de interés real. En el caso del efecto que los cambios en esta variable tienen sobre la inversión, parece existir una respuesta diferenciada entre empresas pequeñas y grandes, donde el grado de respuesta de estas últimas es mayor. Estos resultados son conducentes a la conclusión de que aunque el mercado de crédito en México ha estado caracterizado por imperfecciones, que han provocado que el acceso a los recursos se diera en mejores condiciones para las empresas de mayor tamaño, esto no ha evitado que los cambios en la tasa de interés afecten al gasto de inversión aún en las empresas más pequeñas.

Introduction: Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an effective treatment for renal stone. Due to significant pain and morbidity after standard PCNL because of nephrostomy tubes, various modifications of PCNL are being performed. We report a randomised trial comparing these modalities.
Material and method: 50 patients were randomised in two groups of 25 each: standard PCNL with nephrostomy tubes (Group 1) and tubeless PCNL with ureteric stent and no nephrostomy (Group 2). At the end of procedure randomisation was done for those patients satisfying the inclusion criteria based on duration of surgery, single puncture tract, intraoperative bleeding, stone burden, intact pelvicalyceal system and no residual stone at end of procedure. Hb drop, haemorrhage, need for blood transfusion, pyrexia, urine leak, pain score, analgesic requirement and duration of hospital stay were measured.
Results: No significant difference in haemorrhage was observed. Urinary leak was only seen in one patient of standard group. Duration of hospital stay and analgesic requirement attained statistical significance in favour of tubeless group compared to standard.
Conclusion: Tubeless is effective and safe method for management of renal stones. It reduces postoperative pain and morbidity compared to standard group.

O presente artigo visa a investigar o papel das Novas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (NTICs) na gestão escolar, a partir da percepção dos gestores de Minas Gerais e Amazonas, após sua participação na disciplina educação e suas tecnologias, oferecida no mestrado profissional em gestão e avaliação da educação pública. Por meio da avaliação por triangulação de métodos, foram analisadas as aulas e as tarefas finais de dez discentes. Conclui-se que a restrita carga horária, o extenso currículo e a estratégia metodológica adotada não auxiliaram a desnaturalização de práticas pragmáticas e utilitaristas na gestão escolar e que o papel das NTICs se restringe a controlar e monitorar as ações administrativas desenvolvidas nas escolas.

Published: October 2020

Inúmeras ferramentas da Internet estão disponíveis para o ensino em saúde. A falta de conhecimento sobre como usá-las coloca os professores sob julgamento quanto à capacidade de se adaptarem a esse novo contexto. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar o uso das mídias sociais no ensino em fisioterapia na Universidade do Estado do Pará (Uepa). Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, realizada por meio de questionário semiestruturado, que envolveu 53 professores do curso de fisioterapia de Belém e Santarém. Após a análise de conteúdo, identificaram-se fatores que dificultam o uso das mídias sociais no compartilhamento de conhecimentos: acesso institucional restrito às redes sociais e pouca capacitação para utilização no ensino pelos professores mais experientes.
