Newcastle disease virus (NDV) causes one of the highly infectious avian diseases in poultry leading to genuine financial misfortunes around the world. Recently, there has been an increasing trend in the number of ND-associated outbreaks in commercial Jordanian poultry flocks indicating a possible complex evolutionary dynamic of NDV infections in the country. To underpin the dynamics of circulating NDV strains and to assess the vaccine-escape potential, a total of 130 samples were collected from different poultry flocks in six Jordanian Governorates during 2019–2021. Twenty positive isolates, based on real-time reverse transcriptase PCR, were used for further genetic characterization and evolutionary analysis. Our results showed that there is a high evolutionary distance between the newly identified NDV strains (genotype VII.1.1) in this study and the commercially used vaccines (genotypes I and II), suggesting that circulating NDV field strains are under constant evolutionary pressure. These mutations may significantly affect flocks that have received vaccinations as well as flocks with insufficient immunity in terms of viral immunity and disease dynamics. To assess this further, we investigated the efficacy of the heterologous inactivated LaSota or homologous genotype VII.1.1 vaccine for their protection against virulent NDV in chicken. Vaccine-induced immunity was evaluated based on the serology, and protection efficacy was assessed based on clinical signs, survival rates, histopathology, and viral shedding. Chickens vaccinated with the inactivated genotype VII.1.1 based vaccine showed 100% protection with a significant reduction in virus shedding, and ameliorated histopathology lesions compared to LaSota vaccinated chicks that showed 60% protection. These results revealed that the usage of NDV inactivated vaccine from the circulating field strains can successfully ameliorate the clinical outcome and virus pathobiology in vaccinated chicks and will serve as an effective vaccine against the threat posed by commonly circulating NDV strains in the poultry industry.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines were developed based on various platform technologies and were approved for emergency use. However, the comparative analysis of immunogenicity and durability of vaccine-induced antibody responses depending on vaccine platforms or vaccination regimens has not been thoroughly examined for mRNA- or viral vector-based vaccines. In this study, we assessed spike-binding IgG levels and neutralizing capacity in 66 vaccinated individuals prime-boost immunized either by homologous (BNT162b2-BNT162b2 or ChAdOx1-ChAdOx1) or heterologous (ChAdOx1-BNT162b2) vaccination for six months after the first vaccination. Despite the discrepancy in intervals for the prime-boost vaccination regimen of different COVID-19 vaccines, we found stronger induction and relatively rapid waning of antibody responses by homologous vaccination of the mRNA vaccine, while weaker boost effect and stable maintenance of humoral immune responses were observed in the viral vector vaccine group over 6 months. Heterologous vaccination with ChAdOx1 and BNT162b2 resulted in an effective boost effect with the highest remaining antibody responses at six months post-primary vaccination.
Three-Dimensional Turbulent Flow Characteristics Near the Leading Edge of a Longitudinal Structure in the Presence of an Inclined Channel Bank
Authors: Heydari Nasser , Diplas Panayiotis
Published: November 2022

The present work investigates turbulent flow structures and behavior near the leading edge of a longitudinal flow obstruction in an open channel with an inclined bank. A volumetric particle image velocimetry (VPIV) was employed to collect velocity data. The results indicate that a relatively moderate channel bank angle (θ=28∘) does not prevent the formation of a junction vortex (JV) system. Indeed, it is found that the JV system develops over the channel bank and extends to the leading edge of the flow obstruction. It is demonstrated that the main factor that strengthens the primary junction vortex (JV1) at the tip of the protrusion is the pronounced downward flow. The probability density functions (pdfs) of the velocity fluctuations specify that the JV1 oscillates aperiodically between the so-called zero-flow and back flow modes. This explains the amplification of TKE at its core. It is shown that the velocity difference between the peaks of the pdf increases from over the channel bank towards the tip of the flow obstruction. The aperiodic behavior of the JV1 is confirmed via the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) technique. Specifically, it is demonstrated that the leading POD modes, associated with the JV system, contain lower energy content compared to periodic flows. The time-averaged vertical vorticity field verifies the presence of a tornado like vortex structure near the upstream face of the retaining wall. Finally, the results suggest that the largest bed shear stress values in the mean flow are located near the tip of the protrusion.
Bioenergy versus Soil Improvement: Policy Coherence and Implementation Gaps in Crop Residue-Based Bioenergy Development in China
Authors: Zhang Jiaqi , Oosterveer Peter , Li Yu’e , Greene Mary
Published: November 2022

Promoting crop residue-based bioenergy (CRB) is a strategy for mitigating climate change and ensuring water-energy-food security. Although China has abundant crop residues, CRB is not well developed, and several policy targets are not being reached. These implementation gaps need critical examination as CRB development mainly relies on policy support. This examination provides a framework to assess the feasibility of this policy that covers several cross-cutting issues. By reviewing national policies, this paper analyzes the horizontal coherence of multisectoral CRB policies during the last two decades. Based on 55 semi-structured interviews, conducted with stakeholders, civil servants and experts, we analyzed the vertical coherence among policy implementation to further explore the causes of the limited success of CRB policies. The priority given to the cultivation and livestock sectors (particularly for soil improvement) in crop residue utilization policies and the development of energy policy targets resulted in horizontal policy incoherence. Furthermore, financial limitations were shown to be the most significant obstacle to CRB policy implementation. Successful CRB policy implementation requires a debate about the crop residue utilization for either energy or fertilizer to determine the more sustainable application. Appropriate incentives and increased technological quality of bioenergy projects are also recommended.
Stability Analysis of Embankment Slope Considering Water Absorption and Softening of Subgrade Expansive Soil
Authors: Zhao Siyi , Zheng Jiantao , Yang Jian
Published: November 2022

With the rapid development of road engineering today, a large number of high-grade highways need to pass through expansive soil distribution areas. At present, the research on expansive soil slope mainly focuses on the newly excavated cutting slope. However, according to engineering experience, a landslide of fill embankment on expansive soil foundation is also very common. The expansive soil layer is heterogeneous. There are many weak intercalations or large fissures under the ground, which are generally parallel to the trend, with low strength and high permeability. After rainfall, the strength of the weak interlayer and large fissures will be further reduced after moisture absorption, and the sliding surface is easily formed under the load of filler, which is the main factor inducing embankment landslide. On the basis of landslide investigation and a laboratory test, a FORTRAN calculation program is developed in this paper, which can comprehensively consider the special moisture absorption and softening characteristics of expansive soil. Taking a high fill embankment slope with a soft interlayer in the Baoshan area of Yunnan Province as an example, the stability and instability characteristics of the fill slope on the expansive soil foundation are analyzed, and the influence of moisture absorption and softening on the expansive soil slope is emphatically discussed. Finally, this paper puts forward the reinforcement method of the high fill embankment slope on the soft expansive soil foundation, which is proven to have a good reinforcement effect through calculation analysis and field practice. For expansive soil foundation with weak interlayer, it is better to directly reinforce the weak layer through rigid piles.

Published: November 2022

Eutrophication and algal blooms have sparked worldwide concern because of their widespread effects on water-dependent species. Harmful algal blooms can cause fatal effects to lesser flamingos (Phoeniconaias minor), obligatory filter feeders and vital bio-indicators in soda lakes. Thus, early detection of algal blooms and potential indicators in water quality is critical, but general tools are lacking in eastern African soda lakes. We monitored algal biomass changes and related water physico–chemical variables for 12 consecutive months in the lakes Big Momella and Rishateni in northern Tanzania. We used chlorophyll-a to measure algal biomass and quantified water physico–chemical variables that might influence algae growth. We also monitored lesser flamingo numbers to understand trends across the year and according to algal bloom occurrence. Algal biomass was strongly related to water nitrogen (r = 0.867; p < 0.001) and phosphorus (r = 0.832; p < 0.001). Monthly patterns showed significant differences in water quality and algal biomass (F = 277, p < 0.001) but not across sampling sites (F = 0.029, p = 0.971). Lesser flamingo numbers seemed to be related to algal biomass at Lake Big Momella (r = 0.828; p < 0.001) and shortly after algal biomass peaked high (i.e., March and April 2021), flamingo numbers declined. Lake Rishateni showed similar patterns. Our findings can provide a basis towards understanding the factors contributing to temporal changes in lesser flamingo abundance due to spatio–temporal water quality variations, which is important for optimising conservation efforts for the species in these unique Momella lakes.

Published: November 2022

To investigate the impact of antidepressants (ANT) in water, estimates of the direct and indirect photolysis of standard fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) and a pharmaceutical alternative, fluoxetine sulfate (FLXSO4), were evaluated. The second-order kinetic constants of the ANT and reactive photoinduced species (RPS) (singlet oxygen, 1O2; hydroxyl radicals, HO•; and triplet excited states of chromophoric dissolved organic matter, 3CDOM*) were obtained by competition kinetics under simulated solar radiation. These parameters were used in combination with water characteristics to assess the environmental persistence of the ANT based on mathematical kinetic simulations. The results indicated that the reactions with HO• (kFLX,HO• = (2.54 ± 0.06) × 109 L mol−1 s−1; kFLXSO4,HO• = (3.07 ± 0.03) × 109 L mol−1 s−1) and 3CDOM* (kFLX,3CDOM* = (2.67 ± 0.05) × 109 L mol−1 s−1; kFLXSO4,3CDOM* = (1.48 ± 0.03) × 109 L mol−1 s−1) play a more important role in the degradation of ANT compared to the reactions with 1O2 (kFLX,1O2 = (1.37 ± 0.07) × 107 L mol−1 s−1; kFLXSO4,1O2 = (1.63 ± 0.33) × 107 L mol−1 s−1). The main removal pathways were biodegradation and direct photolysis with persistence in the following order FLX > FLXSO4. Therefore, the presence of sulfate anions can contribute to the degradation of fluoxetine in sunlit environmental waters.

Published: November 2022

It is expected that, by 2050, the rapid rise in population and simultaneous urbanization shall deplete clean water supplies. Domestic wastewater (DWW) contains inorganic and organic components that can be harmful to aquatic organisms. Traditional remediation approaches (physical, chemical and biological) can be used on-site or off-site to purify polluted domestic water (activated sludge, built-wetlands, stabilization ponds, trickling filters and membrane bioreactors), and each has its own advantages and limitations. Biosorption through microorganisms, bacteria (microbe-mediated remediation), fungi (mycoremediation) and algae (phycoremediation) has shown promising results in removing toxic chemicals and nutrients. The type of waste and its concentration, heterogeneity level and percentage of clean-up required; and the feasibility of the clean-up technique and its efficiency, practicability, operational difficulties, environmental impact and treatment costs are all factors that are to be considered when choosing a technique for domestic wastewater treatment (DWWT). This review focuses on the roles of conventional methods in DWWT, including their merits, demerits and future prospects. It promotes the concept of “reduce, reuse and recycle” of DWWT and also highlights the problem of emerging contaminants in WWT regimes. We provide insights into the different membrane filtration procedures and water purification techniques and the synergism of conventional and non-conventional WWT strategies for human and environment health security.

The variability in the quality of water that runs along the course of a river, flowing out of a mountain pass, through an agricultural oasis and into a lake, has been a key topic of research in recent years. In this study, the characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) along the river flow, and its relationship with water quality, were analyzed using the Canadian water quality index (CWQI), parallel factor (PARAFAC) and self-organizing map (SOM). The study results include: (1) The conclusion of field sampling along the lower reaches of the Kaidu River and laboratory measurements of water quality parameters, using CWQI to determine the water quality index of the lower Kaidu River, ranging between 59.58 and 93.47. The water quality of the lower reaches of the Kaidu River generally ranges between moderate and good, and can meet the water use requirements of Class II water function standards. (2) The DOM composition of the river predominantly contained three fluorescence components, while the three fluorescence indices of the water body varied less in different river sections. Based on the SOM training model, the fluorescence intensity of the C1 component was larger among the three fluorescence components, followed by the C2 component, and the smallest fluorescence intensity of the C3, which was dominated by humic-like substances, with a high authigenic origin and humification degree. (3) The fluorescence index and fluorescence components were correlated with water quality parameters, and it was found that C1, C2 and C3 were negative and correlated significantly with SO42- and Total-dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations; FI, HIX and BIX showed strong positive correlations with SAL and Cu and negative correlations with dissolved oxygen (DO). This study provides a scientific basis for surface water quality monitoring and water quality pollution management in the Kaidu River.

Published: November 2022

The thermal pollution of stormwater runoff is an important factor in the degradation of the urban water environment. Bioretention is an effective way to control the thermal pollution of stormwater runoff. To understand the influence of different rainfall conditions on the reduction of thermal pollution load of rainwater runoff from bioretention facilities and the correlation between the parameters, an experimental study was carried out by using the Beijing P&C rainfall pattern to change the rainfall parameters. By proposing innovative evaluation index parameters and analysis methods, the correlation between different parameters was quantified. The results showed that the heat pollution load reduction rate (HR) had a strong negative correlation with rainfall inflow volume (IV), rainfall duration (RD), and the service area ratio of bioretention facilities (CAR), and the correlation coefficients were −0.95, −0.73, and −0.73, respectively. HR was weakly correlated with rainfall return period (RP), rainfall temperature (RT), and air temperature (At) during the experiment, and the correlation coefficients were −0.29, 0.20, and 0.20, respectively. The delay between the peak value of heat output from the bioretention and the peak value of heat input from rainfall was about 10 min. Through the research on the change of rainwater heat entering and exiting the facility, we can master some rules of heat reduction in bioretention facilities, which will provide a reference for subsequent research on the difference between the internal heat change and bioretention temperature change.

Published: November 2022

Precise estimation of pan evaporation is necessary to manage available water resources. In this study, the capability of three hybridized models for modeling monthly pan evaporation (Epan) at three stations in the Dongting lake basin, China, were investigated. Each model consisted of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) integrated with a metaheuristic optimization algorithm; i.e., particle swarm optimization (PSO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and Harris hawks optimization (HHO). The modeling data were acquired for the period between 1962 and 2001 (480 months) and were grouped into several combinations and incorporated into the hybridized models. The performance of the models was assessed using the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), coefficient of determination (R2), Taylor diagram, and Violin plot. The results showed that maximum temperature was the most influential variable for evaporation estimation compared to the other input variables. The effect of periodicity input was investigated, demonstrating the efficacy of this variable in improving the models’ predictive accuracy. Among the models developed, the ANFIS-HHO and ANFIS-WOA models outperformed the other models, predicting Epan in the study stations with different combinations of input variables. Between these two models, ANFIS-WOA performed better than ANFIS-HHO. The results also proved the capability of the models when they were used for the prediction of Epan when given a study station using the data obtained for another station. Our study can provide insights into the development of predictive hybrid models when the analysis is conducted in data-scare regions.

Published: November 2022

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC established a framework for community action in the field of water policy. This Directive requires the monitoring of surface watercourses’ quality, which is undoubtedly influenced by the sediment composition. Their function can serve the living and transport purposes of numerous microorganisms and algae, but sediment may be a medium for transmitting dangerous toxic substances that are harmful to all living organisms in the environment as well. Many substances (including chemical substances, metals, and nutrients) can accumulate in sediment over time and be released in water or contaminate aquatic species, thus potentially negatively affecting the ecological or chemical status. Furthermore, flood events as well as human interventions can remobilise deposited sediment and thus result in the downstream and cross-border transport of sediment-associated contamination. The purpose of this investigation was to calculate the daily values of chemical elements in the transmission of suspended sediment and its accumulation in the suspended matter collected at some hydrological stations in the Danube River Basin during high flow events. The joint vision for the “Mura-Drava-Danube” area is to use the Transboundary Biosphere Reserve (TBR) concept to maintain a living river ecosystem for biodiversity and ecosystem services and to promote nature-friendly economic development for the local communities of this rural region. Therefore, this region requires a permanent sediment quality monitoring program.
Montée, crise, réorientation. Pour une histoire de la famille de Croy au xve siècle
Authors: Paravicini Werner
Published: November 2022

De Croy waren de machtigste aristocratische familie aan het Bourgondische hof in de vijftiende eeuw : de Rolin waren hun enige echte concurrenten en slechts de prinselijke families konden hen overtreffen. Hun opkomst was zo spectaculair dat ze huwelijken konden smeden met de huizen van Beieren, Lotharingen, Moers en Luxemburg en dat uiteindelijk, in 1486, de Croy-Chimay zelf tot Prinsen van het Heilige Roomse Rijk werden verheven. Maar ze beleefden ook een kritisch decennium, tussen 1465 en 1475, toen alles verloren leek : hun positie als favoriet van de vader (hertog Filips de Goede) werd niet erkend door de zoon (Karel de Stoute). Hun rijke carrière, fascinerend vanuit verschillende gezichtspunten, werd nooit onderworpen aan een grondig onderzoek. Dit essay zet een eerste stap in die analyse door de archiefcollecties op te lijsten, vragen te stellen en in het bijzonder de tot dusver ongebruikte inventaris van de schatkist van de zijtak van Chimay van 1464 tot 1481 te benutten. 300 geïndexeerde registers worden in bijlage voorgesteld.

Published: November 2022

Developing efficient approaches to building a suitable environment for humans on the moon play a key role in future long-term sustainable lunar exploration activities, which has motivated many countries to propose diverse plans to build a lunar base. The lava tubes discovered by the Kaguya mission offer huge potential sites to host such bases. Through computation and analysis, we show that lunar lava tubes offer stable structures, suitable temperatures, low radiation doses, and low meteorite impact rates. We summarize previous research results and put forward the conditions to find and use a suitable lunar lava tube for human habitation on the moon. The establishment of extraterrestrial bases still faces many technical bottlenecks; many countries have begun to use the earth’s environment for extraterrestrial exploration and simulation missions. In this regard, we proposed the idea of using the Earth’s karst caves to simulate extraterrestrial lava tubes, selected caves in Chongqing as the simulation site, and demonstrated the feasibility from both structural and environmental aspects. Finally, we proposed a karst cave simulation platform with three main research directions: cave sealing technology, efficient daylight system, and internal circulation research of artificial ecosystems containing natural soil and rock. We hope to promote the development of related research on extraterrestrial bases through simulation experiments.

En agosto del año 1872, el ingeniero municipal Nicolás Grondona presentó un folleto con el primer proyecto del Monumento Conmemorativo a la Bandera Nacional Argentina. Tenía como objetivo conmemorar los 60 años que pasaron desde 1812, cuando Manuel Belgrano enarboló por primera vez la bandera argentina en Rosario. El proyecto consistía en dos obeliscos (“pirámides”) uno en las barrancas de Rosario, donde se ubicó la Batería Libertad y el otro obelisco en la isla, donde habría funcionado la Batería Independencia.

El monumento en la barranca no superó la etapa de diseño, a pesar de las gestiones efectuadas a nivel nacional y provincial. Por el contrario, el monumento erigido en la Isla Espinillo se terminó de construir a comienzos de 1873 con materiales de construcción de la época: ladrillos, baldosas y adoquines, obtenidos por subscripción pública y donaciones.

En 1878, una creciente demolió la pirámide conmemorativa de la isla, sin dejar rastros visibles. El objetivo de este trabajo es, historizando la materialidad del primer monumento a la bandera, exponer las dificultades de esa tarea de localización y los métodos empleados en la prospección en curso.
Evidencias de prácticas religiosas y de brujería en el arte rupestre del valle de Tulum (San Juan)

Published: November 2022

En el presente artículo se identifican y analizan veintiséis representaciones rupestres de cinco sitios de San Juan estrechamente vinculables con referentes de la iconografía cristiana. Con el objeto de comprender su producción, se intenta precisar su agencia y contexto social de realización. Para examinar este último aspecto se explora el posible desarrollo de actividades rituales aplicando los principios enunciados por Ross y Davidson (2006) para su detección en sitios con arte rupestre. Como resultado, se propone que el marco para entender la distribución y creación del registro analizado estaría dado por el desarrollo de actividades religiosas y de brujería, en algunos casos en lucha por el control de determinados espacios.
arqueología y la multidisciplinaridad
Authors: Lambri Melania Lucila
Published: November 2022

La Arqueología se nos presenta hoy en día como una disciplina fácilmente identificable gracias a la singularidad de su objeto de estudio como también a la diversidad de criterios y procedimientos analíticos que la misma fue desarrollando, madurando y re-evaluando a lo largo de su historia disciplinar; al punto de aún en la actualidad se siguen dando debates en torno a distintas cuestiones teóricas y epistemológicas. Este largo proceso también ha llevado a la Arqueología a ramificarse en varios sub-campos enfocados al abordaje de temáticas más específicas e incorporar herramientas provenientes, inclusive, de otras disciplinas. La Arqueometría y la Arqueología Histórica se presentan aquí como dos claros exponentes de esto último. Las mismas expresan además, y de forma muy notoria en la actualidad, una realidad muy interesante de la práctica arqueológica: su naturaleza inter, multi e incluso transdisciplinar. De hecho, la Arqueología ha logrado entablar, desde sus etapas más tempranas, fuertes contactos con otras disciplinas, tanto de las Ciencias del Hombre como de las Ciencias de la Naturaleza, los cuales le permiten de tejer puentes de comunicación entre toda ellas. Esta capacidad puede explicarse por las particularidades de los objetos que interesan a la Arqueología y por las influencias que recibió de corrientes teóricas de la Filosofía de las Ciencias (FC) a lo largo de su historia. Por tal motivo se propone para este trabajo realizar un breve recorrido por la historia epistemológica de la Arqueología en la cual podremos identificar los aportes de la FC en el desarrollo de la arqueología como ciencia, observar los orígenes de los estudios de índole inter-multidisciplinar en Arqueología, y contemplar las ventajas y las dificultades que persisten hasta hoy a la hora de realizar trabajos conjuntos con otras disciplinas.

Se presentan los primeros análisis de los conjuntos líticos recuperados en la ciudad de Tandil, centro del cordón serrano del sistema de Tandilia, provincia de Buenos Aires: Casa 14 de Julio 241, área donde funcionó el Fuerte Independencia (1823) y los hallazgos recuperados en el pedemonte del Parque de la Independencia. La investigación arqueológica efectuada se ha focalizado en el estudio de las ocupaciones de la zona en el siglo XIX y en la recuperación de evidencias materiales en diferentes patios de viviendas. Se registró evidencias de la cultura material de poblaciones originarias y eurocriolla que habitó el fuerte y sus alrededores. Simultáneamente se están efectuando análisis de fuentes documentales, que verifican momentos de convivencia y reciprocidad entre ambas sociedades.

El material corresponde a la parte posterior, sector Sur del Fuerte Independencia y en La Plaza de Las Banderas, Parque de La Independencia donde se pudo visibilizar material diverso en superficie. A raíz de esto se procedió a efectuar una recolección superficial sistemática mediante el trazado de transectas. Una de las variables contempladas fue la perturbación generada por el paso de transeúntes y por el uso cotidiano del lugar de esparcimiento. Posteriormente, para controlar la estratigrafía, se realizó una serie de sondeos y una excavación en el sector considerado cementerio del fuerte, donde se han detectado restos humanos. En el caso de la vivienda se recuperaron artefactos mediante actividades de rescate ante obras realizadas en el lugar y posteriormente se efectuaron excavaciones sistemáticas levantando un piso de lajas colocado a principios del siglo XX.

El informe sobre los artefactos líticos es una aproximación tecno-tipológica (Aschero, 1983) en la que se tiene en cuenta la procedencia de los hallazgos, los tipos de rocas utilizadas para la confección de instrumentos, así como la correspondencia con los distintos estadios de talla. También se mencionan elementos de origen europeo asociados como lozas, vidrios, metales y restos óseos.

In this paper, a three dimensional (3-D) analytical model of surface potential has been derived for gate engineered trapezoidal trigate Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET). The model has been obtained by assuming parabolic approximation of the potential profile and solving 3-D Poisson equation using appropriate boundary conditions. The device considered in this work is silicon based TFET with gate composed of two materials with different work functions. The low work-function material is placed close to source and drain region while high work-function material is placed in between them. This will result in enhancing the tunneling in the source/channel interface region while reducing the electric field in the drain region. Trigate devices have been found to enhance the device performance at nanoscale, however, Trigate device fabricated by Intel have been found to have trapezoidal shape rather than expected rectangular shape. In this work, we have included the effect of different inclination angles of sides on the device performance. The model has been verified by comparing the results with the simulation results obtained in ATLAS software.

Nowadays, people are constantly moving towards various fashion products as a result the e-commerce market for garments is growing rapidly. Online stores must update their features according to user requirements and preferences. However, there are too many options for users to select from these online stores which may leave them in a dilemma to identify the correct outfit, save the user time, and increase sales, efficient recommendation systems are becoming a necessity for online retailers. In this paper, we proposed an Apparel Recommendation System that generates recommendations for users based on their input. We used a real-world data set taken from the online market giant Amazon using Amazon’s Product Advertising API. We aim to use keywords like brand, color, size, etc., to recommend. Data exploration to get detailed information about our dataset, Data Cleaning(pre-processing) to remove invalid sections, Model selection (We have compared different feature extraction techniques like bag of words, TF-IDF, and word2vec model) to find out efficient techniques and Deployment of the model that could facilitate recommendation system to simplify the task of apparel recommendation system. The accuracy of the model is identified using the response time and content matching.

Although the mechanisms underlying how malnutrition in early life affects the susceptibility to diseases later in life remain unclear, there is considerable interest in the potential role of DNA methylation in the intrauterine programming of diseases. In this study, digital gene expression profiles were used to analyze changes in gene expression of protein-restricted rats early in life, while intergenerational rat models were used to explore differences in whole blood genomic DNA methylation in an environment stimulated by maternal protein intervention. Nine rats were randomly divided into early-life low-protein group (LPE), fetal low-protein group (LPF), and normal control group (CON). The LPE group was fed a low-protein diet on the 1st day of pregnancy until the end of lactation. The LPF group was given low-protein diet during pregnancy. The CON group was given a 20% protein diet from the 1st day of pregnancy. Total mRNA was extracted from the sacrificed rats at the 48th week. The number of differentially expressed genes for LPE versus CON, LPF versus CON, and LPF versus LPE was 178, 223, and 302, respectively. Comparing LPE versus CON and LPF versus CON, the upregulated genes common to the two groups were Gimap-9, Serinc-4, Dnah-2, Sf3b-5, and Sat-2, and the downregulated genes were Ppp1r-3. Comparing LPF versus CON and LPF versus LPE, the upregulated genes were Mgat2 and Cars, and the downregulated genes were Ddx28 and Slc12a9. The differentially expressed genes were mainly related to cell metabolism, immune response, signaling pathway, endocrine metabolism, stress response, ATP binding, and other functions. Early-life protein malnutrition affects gene expression of rat offspring and involves multiple aspects of growth and development, with different stages of early-life malnutrition leading to altered DNA methylation expression of corresponding genes, mainly in mitochondrial genes.

Parasitic habit plants arouse great interest for their extraordinary growth adaptations and produce different secondary metabolites that allow them to survive the extreme conditions in which they develop. This can provide a range of compounds with multiple uses. However, those plants have been poorly explored and there is very little information about their natural compounds, some healing properties attributed to several communities have been scientifically supported. Articles were consulted in databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Scielo, Science Direct, Scopus) considering the biological activity reported until June 2021. Parasitic plants present mainly antibacterial activity, some species antifungal moderate activity, and to a lesser extent were found reports of antiprotozoal activity. The composition of parasitic plants should continue to be investigated, which could be an alternative to combat various microorganisms that cause diseases, even resistant to traditional medicines.
