Published: May 2024

The integration of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) poses significant privacy challenges due to the amalgamation of computational and physical processes. Differential Privacy (DP) emerges as a crucial framework to safeguard individual privacy while extracting meaningful insights from CPS data. This study delves into the nuanced impact of noise customization within the DP paradigm in the realm of CPS. Noise customization involves the strategic addition of calibrated noise to data, influencing the delicate balance between privacy preservation and data utility. We explore the diverse types of noise, such as Laplace, Gaussian, and adaptive scaling, evaluating their impact on privacy, data accuracy, and system robustness. The suitability of noise customization is analyzed in varying data distributions, addressing the dynamic nature of CPS environments. Benefits encompass tailored privacy protection, adaptability to changing conditions, and optimized communication overhead. However, challenges arise in striking the right balance between privacy and utility, particularly in fine-grained analyses. This research underscores the importance of customized noise in fortifying the privacy fabric of CPS, providing insights into the trade-offs inherent in privacy-preserving data analytics within this complex and dynamic cyberphysical landscape

Published: May 2024

Cancer is the loss of control over cell division, apoptotic resistance and invasion into normal tissue and forms one of the most important causes of death. The increased death rate due to cancer necessitates a challenge to explore new promising, safe, cheap, and less harmful potential drugs with high therapeutic value. Anticancer drugs from natural sources like microorganisms, plants, and animals gives an opportunity to learn about novel compounds via exclusive beneficial properties for malignancies treatments. While comparing chemically and natural medications, natural medications have considerable therapeutic effectiveness and are reasonable. A plant's healthy intracellular or intercellular environment is habitat to a certain type of microorganism they are termed as endophytes. Endophytic fungi inhabiting medicinal plants exhibit an eclectic spectrum of chemical entities and also, they govern the host plant‘s synthesis of certain secondary metabolites. These endophytic fungi can serve as an exciting source of multiple chemicals having cancer-fighting qualities. The desired metabolites from these endophytes can be manipulated both genetically and physicochemically for increased yield. This chapter emphasizes fungal endophytes producing anticancer metabolites and assesses the collaboration that occur between endophytes and plants host that enables the synthesis of novel secondary metabolites. Insight from such a review would provide a rapidly developing area of inquiry in the creation of unique secondary metabolites by fungal endophytes. as an alternative, reliable, and economical source of anticancer drugs

Published: May 2024

For the purpose of developing new algorithms, improving data models, and producing sophisticated analytics, data science has made large research investments. However, authors have not frequently addressed the organisational and socio-technical difficulties that arise when carrying out a data science project. These difficulties include the absence of a defined vision and goals, the overemphasis on technical issues, the inadequacy of ad hoc projects, and the uncertainty of responsibilities in data science. There haven't been many methods proposed in the literature to deal with this kind of issue; some of them go as far back as the middle of the 1990s, so they aren't up to speed with the most recent developments in big data and machine learning technology. However, fewer approaches offer a complete framework. We'll discuss the necessity to develop a more thorough technique for working on data science projects in this piece. We first research ways that have been written about in the literature and group them into four categories based on their focuses: project, team, data, and information management. Last but not least, we offer a conceptual framework that describes the essential characteristics that a methodology for managing data science activities from a broad viewpoint should have. This framework could serve as a guide for other academics as they develop new data science methods or update existing ones

Published: May 2024

As social networks gain more and more traction, the study of social network analysis has grown in significance and interest. A method for analyzing social systems using networks and graphs is called social network analysis. Since social network information is unstructured, it is essential to extract the organized information in order to make use of the crucial information. The research focused on social network data extraction enables the systematic utilization of such a vast volume of dispersed, unstructured data. To improve the accuracy of seeing the structured data scattered across the social network, natural language processing is used. The main goal of monitoring is to glean important information from texts submitted by uninformed social media users. It analyses natural language text to obtain information about a variety of entities, connections, or occurrences. The Natural Language methods are being thoroughly investigated through this research. In this study article, text mining systems—the cornerstone of Natural Language Processing— are used to assess data from social networks and investigate sentiment analysis processing through machine learning

Fabrication and Characterization of Nanostructured Tin doped Indium Oxide Coatings by the Instrument of Spray Pyrolysis
Authors: Salam Amir Yousif
Published: May 2024

Nanostructured indium tin oxide (ITO) coating is one of the transparent conductive oxides (TCO) materials utilized as a transparent electrode. Due to its high demand in various applications like liquid crystal displays, touch screens, light emitting devices, and solar cells, ITO coatings have garnered significant research attention, owing to their excellent properties of high visible light transmittance and low resistance. Nanostructured coating of tin -doped Indium Oxide (ITO) was fabricated on glass slides utilizing the instrument of chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP), with varying levels of Sn-doping at 0, 3, 6, and 9 wt%. The effect of tin content on the many physical characteristics of the resulting coatings has been examined. The analysis of x-ray diffraction (XRD) displayed the characteristic  orientations. The coatings have a polycrystalline cubic lattice structure along (400) as the preferred growth direction. Morphological measurements indicate that the samples possess a highly uniform surface and the grain size for the ITO samples is  100 nm displaying a nanostructure for all samples. The optical transmittance was measured over 75% for coating with tin content equal to 0wt%, while the transmittance of the Sn-doped films can range from 78% to 84% at 700 nm and the values of the direct bandgap  were measured as 3.6, 3.65, 3.675, and 3.7eV for Sn doping 0, 3, 6, and 9 wt% respectively. In the visible area, the nanostructured ITO coatings exhibit elevated values of transmittance which makes them suitable for various optoelectronic applications such as window materials in solar cells. The results indicate a desirable reduction in the electrical resistivity with rising the number of carriers per unit volume and mobility with increasing tin content in the samples. The minimum electrical resistivity  and maximum carrier concentration  were achieved for ITO coating with tin content equal to 9wt%. The incorporation of Sn dopant significantly changes the overall electrical properties of indium oxide films, this is favorable for transparent conducting oxide.

Published: May 2024

As drug carriers, calixarenes are often investigated and employed in numerous sectors as host molecules. The use of calixarenes in drug delivery systems is a relatively new notion, despite the fact that countless studies have been conducted on calixarenes and their various applications. It is worthwhile to research the computational investigation of the host-guest interaction between calixarenes and para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) in terms of their binding energy and band gap. The first principles study of PABA sensing by calix [4] arene (C4) and calix [6] arene (C6) based on density functional theory (DFT) was carried out in this study using Quantum ESPRESSO software. By using the computational method, the binding energy, as well as the band gap of C4, C6, PABA, and the novel complexes, C4-PABA, and C6-PABA, were calculated. Different interaction distances were used in the formation of complexes. Our results demonstrate the reduction of the band gap for both complexes. Furthermore, the calculated binding energy shows the promising stability of the complexes. This demonstrates the sensing ability of calixarenes towards PABA and the potential anti-cancer properties of calixarene-PABA in sunscreens.

The primary objective of the article was to present the differences in women’s fertility measurements in Poland depending on the method of estimating the population number. An additional aim was to determine the variability of fertility rates by age and geographical region as a consequence of the adopted definitions of population. The study used data from Statistics Poland, Eurostat and the Human Fertility Database for 2021, taking into account changes in women’s fertility starting from the 1945 generation. Demographic, period and cohort analysis methods were employed in the study. The longitudinal approach was used to additionally identify changes in fertility patterns across generations of women. In accordance with the principle of constructing demographic coefficients, the number of events was related to the population that could actually experience them, i.e. the resident population. All partial fertility rates were recalculated based on the estimated resident population according to the Population and Housing Census 2021. The results of the analysis indicate that total fertility rate (TFR) of women in Poland in 2021 calculated for the population according to the national definition was lower by 4.3% than the rate calculated for the resident population. The most significant underestimation was observed for the 35–39 age group (by 6.3%), and in terms of geographical regions, for Podkarpacie (by 11.0%). The discrepancies are larger for age groups and regions with greater mobility, showing the need to take into account the resident population when measuring the intensity of demographic processes.

The aim is to encourage a collaborative and cooperative approach to these challenges. This study analyses the impact of monetary policies, inflation trends, and bank-specific determinants on bank profitability in the African and Middle Eastern regions. A quantitative research approach was used to assess macro and micro factors affecting bank profitability, using secondary data. The macro variables were obtained from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the micro variables were extracted from the banks' annual accounts. The research findings indicate that monetary policy and inflation have significant impacts on banks' profitability. Additionally, the System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model revealed that the annual interest rate (IR), inflation (INF), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), and previous financial performance (Lagged ROA/ROE) have positive and significant effects on both ROA and ROE. In addition, the loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) had a significant positive effect on ROE, while the non-performing loan ratio (NPLr) had a significant negative effect. The validity and suitability of the GMM regression model used in this study were confirmed by the AR(2) and Sargan Test results. These findings provide valuable insights for decision-makers in the banking sector to respond to changes in monetary policy and manage risks associated with inflation fluctuations. The study emphasizes the importance of capital management and credit risk management in sustaining bank profitability amidst economic uncertainty.

Published: May 2024

Recent developments in nanotechnology offer a multitude of approaches for investigating and tracking diverse biological and medical processes at the nanoscale. Nanoparticles can deliver medications directly to cancer cells, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases like cancer. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are incredibly small gold particles, usually fewer than 100 nanometers in size. They are measured in nanometers. AuNPs are one type of nanoparticle that has shown promise as a medication delivery platform. Their outstanding stability, adjustable chemical and physical characteristics, and biocompatibility make them incredibly beneficial for drug delivery applications. The physical and chemical features of AuNPs' natural characteristics were studied. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), radioactivity, and a high X-ray absorption coefficient are among the physical characteristics of AuNPs that are commonly used in diagnosis and treatment. Compared to many other nanoparticles, AuNPs can create stable chemical interactions with groups that contain S and N. As a result, AuNPs can bind to a broad range of chemical ligands or polymers used for particular purposes. According to recent research, AuNPs can be easily modified to allow the delivery of pharmaceutical drugs directly to the target tissue. This article provides a brief overview of the more effective synthesis method for AuNPs and how they can be utilized as drug carriers to improve precision medicine.

Conformal theory of central surface density for galactic dark halos
Authors: Nesbet R. K.
Published: May 2024

Numerous dark matter studies of galactic halo gravitation depend on models with a core radius of r0 and a central density of ρ0. The central surface density product ρ0r0 is found to be nearly a universal constant for a large range of galaxies. Standard variational field theory with Weyl conformal symmetry postulated for gravitation and the Higgs scalar field, without dark matter, implies nonclassical centripetal acceleration Δa, for a=aN+Δa, where Newtonian acceleration aN is due to observable baryonic matter. Neglecting a halo cutoff at a very large galactic radius, conformal Δa is constant over the entire halo, and a=aN+Δa is a universal function, consistent with a recent study of galaxies with independently measured mass, that constrains acceleration due to dark matter or to an alternative theory. An equivalent dark matter source would be a pure cusp distribution with a cutoff parameter determined by a halo boundary radius. This is shown to imply a universal central surface density for any dark matter core model.

Published: May 2024

This article presents the development of a hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) test bench that can be used to validate an electric bicycle (e-bike) anti-lock braking system (ABS) in different test scenarios. The same e-bike can be used in a wide variety of loading conditions, such as with a child seat or panniers (mounted on the front or rear), and different types of tires. Therefore, validating the overall system—i.e., ABS and e-bike—over a wide range of parameters, such as the mass of the rider, load distribution, and tire characteristics, is challenging. The approach presented here involves interfacing a parameterizable virtual bicycle simulation model running on a real-time target machine with the physical ABS hardware under test. This article describes the derivation of an equation-based model that considers six degrees of freedom representing the in-plane longitudinal dynamics of an e-bike. The simulation model was experimentally validated against measurements made on an instrumented test bike. Tests carried out as part of this development show that the developed HiL test bench can be successfully interfaced with a commercially available ABS, enabling the overall behavior of the ABS and the e-bike to be tested and evaluated in a safe and reproducible way before testing begins on the track.

Ciprofloxacin is a second-generation broad-spectrum antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone class, highly effective against many bacteria. Several brands of this drug class are marketed for public consumption; hence, it has placed the public in a confused state about the best brands with suitable physical characteristics and safe oral consumption. Additionally, the adverse effects of heavy metal accumulation in drugs for oral use have made it essential to quantify the amount of such heavy metals present. Evaluating the physical quality, elemental analysis identity, and concentration of cadmium and lead in twenty-five brands of ciprofloxacin tablets marketed in Lagos, Nigeria, is the aim of this study. The physical assessment of the tablets was then methodologically evaluated for these parameters; Uniformity of weight, Hardness, Friability, and Disintegration tests. Determining the amount of Cadmium and Lead with the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) and evaluating using the Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE). Among all the brands of Ciprofloxacin tablets analyzed, 96 % passed the Uniformity of weight test, 52 % passed the Hardness test, 96 % passed the Friability test, and 96 % passed the disintegration test while 2 % passed the test according to the Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) to Cadmium. 72 % passed the test according to the Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) to Lead. The brands that passed the physical tests have good quality and correct physical characteristics. Cadmium and lead are of no benefit to humanity in the body and because they are not easily eliminated from the body, their buildup can put people at risk for mental retardation in children, dementia, kidney damage, nerve damage, infertility, high blood pressure, and cancer at high exposure levels.

Weighted Multiple-sensor Combining Algorithm for Long-range Underwater Acoustic Communications and Experimental Results
Authors: Jeong Hyun-Woo , Jung Ji-Won
Published: May 2024

In very long-range underwater acoustic communications, enhancing communication performance often involves augmenting the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) through the integration of multiple receiver sensors. However, in cases where sensors are linearly combined, those with inferior performance can significantly impact overall communication efficacy. Consequently, when employing linear combinations, it becomes essential to assign lower weighting factors to sensors exhibiting higher error rates, thereby enhancing overall system performance. This paper introduces a novel approach: a weighted multiple-sensor combination algorithm that leverages the preamble error rate of individual sensors. Through the utilization of turbo coding with a rate of 1/3 and 4/8-ary frequency-shift keying method, extensive experiments spanning very long distances of over 160 km in the East Sea were conducted. The results of these experiments demonstrate that the proposed weighted multiple-sensor combination algorithm markedly improves BER performance compared to conventional linear combination algorithms.

Agricultural waste biomass has already been transferred to bioethanol and used as energy related products, although many issues such as efficiency and productivity still exist to be overcome. In this chapter, the protein engineering was applied to generate enzymes with completely reversed coenzyme specificity and developed recombinant yeasts containing those engineered enzymes for construction of an efficient biomass-ethanol conversion system. Recombinant yeasts were constructed with the genes encoding a wild type xylose reductase (XR) and the protein engineered xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) (with NADP) of Pichia stipitis. These recombinant yeasts were characterized based on the enzyme activity and fermentation ability of xylose to ethanol. The protein engineered enzymes were expressed significantly in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as judged by the enzyme activity in vitro. Ethanol fermentation was measured in batch culture under anaerobic conditions. The significant enhancement was found in Y-ARS strain, in which NADP+-dependent XDH was expressed; 85% decrease of unfavorable xylitol excretion with 26% increased ethanol production, when compared with the reference strain expressing the wild–type XDH.
