The photo voltaic cell, which converts the solar energy to a more convenient form, has been given a due focus in the recent years. Its performance could be boosted by making it to track the sun. But such a tracking system should be less expensive and simple to operate. A method to track the sun discontinuously with in a certain deviation angle has been developed and tested. A simple electro-hydraulic on-off control system was used on a Photo Voltaic panel to make it track the sun. The system is basically an uniaxial tracker with the other axis to be manually adjusted. It has an electronic eye to detect the sun. allied driver circuitry and an automated hydraulic valve and ram assembly, tilting the P.V. panel to track the sun. The sun seeker or the electronic eye was tested for its response characteristics to track the sun with a least poiting error. Similarly the weight added on the solar panel to improve the hydraulic response of the control system, was also optimised to give the best performance. The tracking system was set to track the sun East West, with the second axis tilted at 35 deg North South on December 10 and compared with a similar panel set without the tracking system. Both the panels were electrically loaded and their energy output characteristics were recorded. Since the tracking system in unaiaxial and could not accommodate the azimuth changes, the pointing error was also recorded periodically. The study showed that the elevation error was restrained because of the positive tracking cycles of the system and was in perfect synchronization with the on-off signals of the control system. The peak power obtained from the tracking solar panel was 103 to 120 W against that of 80 109 W in the non-tracking panel at a solar intensity of 75-90 mW/cm².

Published: July 2023

This study aimed to determine the effect of an ethanolic extract of Salvia hispanica‎ (Sh) seeds on ‎osteoporosis induced by methylprednisolone (MP) in female rabbits by assessing the bone ‎mineral density (BMD), serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and parathyroid ‎hormone, as well as histopathological changes in the femur bone. Fifty female rabbits ‎‎(Lepus cuniculus) averaging 1800±125 g and 8±1.4 months old were used in this study. ‎They were randomly allocated to five groups of 10 rabbits each. The negative control group ‎received only subcutaneous normal saline (1 mL/kg BW). The positive control group received MP subcutaneously at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg BW per ‎day for 30 days, followed by oral normal saline (1 mL/kg BW) per day for two months. ‎Group 3 received MP followed by oral administration of Sh seed  ethanolic extract at a dose of 600 mg/kg BW per day for two months. Group 4 received MP followed by oral administration of alendronate (Ale) at a dose ‎of 3.6 mg/kg weekly for two months. Group 5 received MP ‎followed by Ale and then Sh seed ethanolic extract. The study continued until one ‎week after the cessation of the treatments. The results showed that the BMD and serum ‎concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D significantly decreased (P<0.05), ‎while serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone significantly increased (P<0.05) in the ‎positive control and alendronate groups compared with the negative control group after two ‎months of treatment and after one week of withdrawal. However, the administration of Sh methanolic extract to the animals in the three treatment groups ‎ameliorated these parameters and reverted them to normal values. Histopathological ‎analysis of the femur bone head revealed abnormal bone morphology in the positive control ‎group, while Sh extract treatment preserved the normal histology in the other ‎groups. These findings concluded to that Sh seeds ethanolic extract has the ‎potential to prevent bone loss induced by chronic glucocorticoid therapy and may have ‎significant implications for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Published: July 2023

In this paper, we study the features of big data and data analytics. We see how Big Data contributes to mobile networks. We give a term in which big data generally refers to a large amount of digital data. Also, we estimate that the amount processed by "Big Data" systems will double every two years. Hence, Big Data on mobile networks need to be analyzed in-depth according to retrieve exciting and useful information. Big Data provides unprecedented opportunities for internet service providers to understand the behavior and requirements of their users, which in turn enables real-time decision making across a wide range of applications. After that, we mention the dimensions often describe the 4Vs of Big Data. We continue with the study about the use of big data analytics in mobile networks. As we see, new technologies for managing big data in a highly scalable, cost-effective, and damage-resistant manner are required. So, beyond 2020 the system capacity and data rates in mobile networks must support thousands of times more traffic than 2010 levels. Furthermore, we mention the end-to-end latency, the massive number of connections, the cost, the Quality of Experience, the Issues, and finally, the big data management. We continue with the study about the big data analytics in 5G. The 5G networks standardizing and the 5G mobile optimization are crucial areas. There are new research areas were exploring new analytics techniques in big data according to discover new patterns and extract knowledge from the data are collected. Big data analytics can provide organizations with the ability to profile and segment customers based on distinct socioeconomic characteristics and increase customer satisfaction and retention levels. Also, Big Data analytics techniques can provide telecom providers with in-depth knowledge of networks before making informed decisions. Also, as we see, these analytics techniques can help Telecommunication providers to monitor and analyze various types of data as well as event messages on networks. Important information, like business intelligence, can be extracted from momentary and stored data. Hence, the mass adoption of smartphones, mobile broadband modems, tablets, and mobile data applications has been overwhelmingly wireless. Operators bend under the pressure and cost of continuously adding capacity and improving coverage while maximizing the use of the existing components of their range. Advanced radio access technologies, and all Internet Protocols, open internet network architectures must evolve smoothly from 4G systems. So those needs are leading us to make a study about the heterogeneous network or else HetNet for 5G networks. We are continuing with the challenges, and we mention about the curse of modularity, dimensions procedure, feature engineering, non-linearity, Bonferonni's principle, category report, variance and bias, data locality, data heterogeneity, noisy data, data availability, real-time processing, and streaming, data provenance, and data security.

Gene therapy for hemophilia: Current status and future perspectives
Authors: Neftali Anguiano Sánchez  , Lazalde Brissia
Published: July 2023

Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by the lack of a protein necessary for blood clotting. Gene therapy for hemophilia involves the introduction of a healthy gene into the patient's cells to produce the missing protein. There are two main types of gene therapy for hemophilia: ex vivo gene therapy, which involves the extraction of cells from the patient, introduction of the healthy gene into these cells in the laboratory, and reintroduction of the modified cells into the patient; and in vivo gene therapy, which involves the direct delivery of the healthy gene into the patient's body using viral vectors. However, there are still challenges in the large-scale implementation of gene therapy, including safety and long-term efficacy, and the costs associated with the technology.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a hyperglycemia condition with onset in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. Currently, the first-line prevention and management of GDM are lifestyle modifications that must be implemented throughout pregnancy, even before pregnancy. When lifestyle management is unable to maintain normoglycemia in pregnancy, treatment therapy such as insulin and/or oral antidiabetic drugs is needed. Insulin as a first-choice therapy still has drawbacks, including its high price, potential weight gain, hypoglycemia, and uncomfortable route of administration. Herbal therapy using plant extracts and bioactive compounds with antidiabetic effects has become a concern as preventive, alternative, and complementary therapy. This article will provide information about GDM and the potential of herbal plants that can be used in the treatment of GDM. This review will focus on recent herbal remedies derived from various types of medicinal plants that have been validated through scientific evaluation as promising treatments for GDM. Data was collected through Google Scholar using the keywords "herbs and gestational diabetes mellitus". The references were articles with publication years from 2019 to 2023, written in English, original research, and free full-text articles that were relevant. 6,970 works of literature met the keywords "herbs and gestational diabetes mellitus". Then we selected 15 articles that were most relevant. The bioactive compounds found in plants may be used in the future to complement current treatment strategies for GDM. This review has demonstrated that herbal plants can reduce blood glucose levels in GDM. Additionally, unsaturated fatty acids have also shown the potential for lowering blood glucose levels in GDM. These findings have beneficial effects in regulating glucose metabolism, reducing inflammation, and protecting against oxidative damage associated with GDM.

Authors: Quan Ke Thai  , Phuoc Huynh
Published: July 2023

Since the beginning of 2022, the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic has been the dominant variant. Numerous subvariants of Omicron have been identified, including BA.2.75, BA.4, and BA.5, which are classified as Variants of Concern (VOCs) due to their potential to cause severe illness. Additionally, an emerging variant called XBB has recently caused outbreaks and is believed to be highly lethal. To better understand the XBB variant, we compared the variation in the S protein to that of the other variants. Our initial findings indicate that the XBB variant has spread in Vietnam and carries unique nucleotide changes in the S gene. Specifically, we observed two mutations, G22317T (G252V) and C23123T (P521S), that have resulted in a new subvariant called XBB.1 on the phylogenetic tree. Our analysis also suggests that the XBB variant has a high affinity for hACE2, as indicated by an increase in the interface's number of residues and van der Waals energy. We found that XBB has conserved mutations in RBD that enhance its binding affinity for hACE2. In this report, we noted the mutation V83A, H146Q, and G252V in the NTD increased the binding free energy of the XBB spike protein in the complex with hACE2.

India is one of the seventeen mega-diverse countries in the world. The maximum diversity in India has been observed in the Eastern Himalaya, Eastern part of Western Himalaya and the Western Ghats with its endemism. However, due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, there has been a reduction in the number of species that are threatened, rare and endangered. Therefore, to sustain the populations of these species, immediate action of conservation is required. Biotechnological approaches have been recognized as an efficient method to conserve the rare and endangered plant species. In the present study, a Google search was carried out along with other scientific databases such as PubMed, SciFinder, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to accomplish a scientific literature search and analysis. In this review, we have described a few potential in vitro methods to protect rare and endangered flowering plants such as tissue culture using different explants, nuclear-DNA assay, cold storage techniques and gene banks. These various strategies are known to have a significant role in the production of a number of plantlets with their quality traits which considerably shows the scope to accomplish the research gap.
