Authors: Raghav Anuj , Paliwal Mrinal
Published: May 2022

Significant advancements in the past few years have resulted in improved Smart Building technologies for connectivity and protection. This article provides an overview of these developments. In addition, we provided a patient nurture scheme for clinic buildings as well as a layered Building Management System (BMS) architecture in this article. Then we conducted a comparison of our system to other comparable systems and highlighted the advantages of our method. Furthermore, we suggested several security measures based on the design and further study. In addition, this article includes a comparison of our system to other comparable systems. The advantages of our enterprise are then enumerated and discussed. Finally, we researched and utilized the Contiki OS and the Cooja emulator, as well as creating simulations, to get a more comprehensive and truthful picture of our system. The consequences of the data packet transfer are important since the protocol we employ has a very low proportion of packets lost, if not none at all With the Cooja simulator, we watch data in and into of the networks in real time. As a result, it seems to be a very helpful tool that provides, in addition to traffic, diagrams and other data that characterize our system. We want to mimic our whole system in the future using technologies like the Cooja emulator. We will then proceed with the installation of such a system if the outcomes are as anticipated. This article will serve as a starting point for making better choices in the future when developing smart structure systems.

Published: May 2022

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a nutrient-dense cereal crop that has been introduced in Bhutan in recent years. There is no data in Bhutan on post-harvest handling losses of quinoa, and literature from other countries are limited. This study was conducted in Saling Gewog under Mongar District to assess the losses of quinoa at different post-harvest handling stages like field drying after harvest, threshing, and drying after threshing and also to determine weight losses during storage and de-husking. Field drying loss of 1.4% and threshing loss of 2.3% with a total handling loss of 3.7% was recorded in Lingmethang. Field drying loss was 6.5% and threshing loss was 3.4% with a total handling loss of 9.9% in Yongkola while in Tzenzebi, the total handling losses increased to 14.7% including field drying loss of 7.1% and threshing loss of 7.6% with a significant difference in losses between these locations with a P-value < 0.000 for both the field drying after harvest and for threshing. Weight losses during drying were 3.4%, 4.7% and 5% for quinoa samples from Lingmethang, Tzenzebi and Yongkola respectively (P < 0.005). Losses during storage and de-husking of quinoa were determined only for the quinoa samples from Lingmethang. Weight loss at the end of three months of storage was very minimal at 0.2%. A large quantity of quinoa (19.2 %) was lost as husk during the de-husking process. Interventions from the relevant agencies are needed to improve the techniques on field drying, threshing and storage practices to reduce post-harvest losses of quinoa in Bhutan.

Authors: Oliveira Hugo Assuero Moura de
Published: May 2022

Para assegurar de forma adequada a proteção de aeronaves utilizadas em combatescontra a ação de mísseis de guiamento infravermelho (IR), foram criados artefatos de contramedidas denominados flares, objetivando a produção de uma Intensidade radiante semelhante àquela produzida pela aeronave de forma que possam atrair os mísseis IR, oportunizando seu escape. Uma das primeiras composições químicas de flares testadas, e que se tornaria a mais usualmente aplicada, empregava o magnésio, além dos polímeros fluorados Teflon® e Viton®, motivo pelo qual são chamados de flares MTV ou convencionais. Este artigo objetiva demonstrar um estudo com algumas formulações químicas de MTV para que, por meio de ensaios de caracterização, sejam analisadas a adequação, vantagens e desvantagens para seu uso como flares de mísseis com guiamento IR. Será apresentado uma bibliografia sobre o tema para definir as formulações químicas a serem testadas. Serãoapresentados resultados produzidos por artefatos, caracterizados por meio de alguns ensaios e confrontados na literatura pertinente ao assunto. Comparando os resultados com dados de flares-padrão disponíveis na literatura, avaliou-se a possibilidade da utilização/aprimoramento de uma ou mais formulações como flares despistadores de mísseisIR, bem como as vantagens/desvantagens de cada uma, abrindo caminho para anacionalização de flares MTV.

Published: May 2022

É sabido que, com a aquisição do interferidor eletrônico SkyShield, a Força Aérea Brasileira tem investido na capacitação acadêmica e operacional de seus militares em Guerra Eletrônica (GE). Parte desse esforço é voltado para a compreensão da reação de sistemas de detecção radar frente a diferentes tipos de interferência. Neste contexto, este artigo buscou aproveitar conceitos de GE consagrados para realização de simulações básicas do comportamento de um radar genérico sob influência de uma interferência. Para isto, foi considerada a variação da relação sinal/ruído em função de um ruído externo na saída do receptor de um radar (jamming) e os seus efeitos diretos na curva de probabilidade de detecção, ou seja, na capacidade operacional do radar. O aperfeiçoamento e a correta aplicação deste conhecimento possibilitará que, de forma teórica, possam ser estimados os efeitos esperados de uma interferência em um sistema de detecção.

Many countries experiences every year several natural disasters or human catastrophes which takes thousands of millions souls. A lot of mechanisms to predict many kinds of these natural disasters have been developed in the attempt to minimize the amount of victims and it has reached such a successful level. However, even with all these predictive systems, natural disasters still happen and will continue to occur. After a disaster happened the response phase is the mainly way to save affected people. Many countries, organizations and other actors involved in this phase work alone without integration. This way, such phase becomes a difficult and expensive work. This paper aims to suggest a start point to structure and organize the response phase of a disaster, with a systematic application of the Problem Structuring Methods (PSM), focused in the resource allocation for victims rescue.

Design and Fabrication of Microencapsulated Phase Change Materials for Energy/Thermal Energy Storage and Other Versatile Applications
Authors: Mahmood Tahira , Ali Rahmat , Naeem Abdul , Syed Murtaza
Published: May 2022

Microencapsulated phase change materials have been considered as potential candidates to overcome the global energy shortage, as these materials can provide a viable method for storing thermal energy and offering consistent energy management by controllable heat release in desirable environments. Microencapsulation technology offers a method for overcoming the trouble associated with the handling of solid–liquid phase change materials (PCMs) via encapsulating PCMs with thin or tiny shells which are known as ‘microcapsules’. Microcapsule shells not only keep PCMs isolated from the surrounding materials but also provide a stable structure and sufficient surface for PCMs to enhance heat transfer. Thus microencapsulation technology received remarkable attention from fundamental studies to industrial growth in recent years. In order to provide a reliable source of information on recent progress and development in microencapsulated PCMs, this chapter emphases on methods and techniques for the encapsulation of PCMs with a diversity of shell materials from traditional organic polymers to novel inorganic materials to pursue high encapsulation efficiency, excellent thermal energy-storage performance and long-term operation durability. The chapter also highlights the design of bi- and multi-functional PCM-based microcapsules by fabricating various functional shells in a multilayered structure to meet the growing demand for versatile applications.
Modeling Radiation Damage in Materials Relevant for Exploration and Settlement on the Moon
Authors: E. Koval Natalia , Gu Bin , Muñoz-Santiburcio Daniel , Da Pieve Fabiana
Published: May 2022

Understanding the effect of radiation on materials is fundamental for space exploration. Energetic charged particles impacting materials create electronic excitations, atomic displacements, and nuclear fragmentation. Monte Carlo particle transport simulations are the most common approach for modeling radiation damage in materials. However, radiation damage is a multiscale problem, both in time and in length, an aspect treated by the Monte Carlo simulations only to a limited extent. In this chapter, after introducing the Monte Carlo particle transport method, we present a multiscale approach to study different stages of radiation damage which allows for the synergy between the electronic and nuclear effects induced in materials. We focus on cumulative displacement effects induced by radiation below the regime of hadronic interactions. We then discuss selected studies of radiation damage in materials of importance and potential use for the exploration and settlement on the Moon, ranging from semiconductors to alloys and from polymers to the natural regolith. Additionally, we overview some of the novel materials with outstanding properties, such as low weight, increased radiation resistance, and self-healing capabilities with a potential to reduce mission costs and improve prospects for extended human exploration of extraterrestrial bodies.

Dry gas seals are widely used in high speed and high pressure rotating machinery such as gas turbines, compressors, and so on because of their high reliability compared to other types of seals. However, recent requirements for reducing emission with further control of leakage are in order. With this background, we propose applying topological optimization to the groove shape in a dry gas seal to reduce its leakage while keeping its stiffness for safe operation. First, the method of topological optimum design as applied to the groove of a dry gas seal is explained via numerical analysis. Next, results of the topological optimization are shown via categorizing an optimum shape map. Finally, the mechanism of reducing the gas leakage with an optimized seal is discussed based on the prediction of the flow field using a CFD analysis.

Vocal Cord Paralysis
Authors: Priyamvada Shaili
Published: May 2022

Vocal cord paralysis can be due to neurogenic cause, trauma due to surgery, or mechanical fixation of the cords. Diagnosis of the underlying cause leading to paralysis of the vocal cords is important. Most commonly, there is paralysis of recurrent laryngeal nerve. Treatment depends on the cause and whether the cord paralysis is unilateral or bilateral. Unilateral paralysis patients usually present with change in voice, regurgitation, and difficulty in swallowing. One-third of them they show spontaneous recovery, due to compensatory movement of opposite healthy vocal cord. Speech therapy is useful during initial conservative management period. In rest of the cases, vocal cord medialization procedures are performed. As for bilateral vocal cord paralysis which is troublesome entity, patients present with severe symptoms of respiratory distress, stridor, and aspiration. Voice is usually normal in bilateral paralysis cases but change in pitch, poor intensity, and voice fatigue are the complaints. The primary objective is to relieve patients’ dyspnea. There are different treatment options available for bilateral vocal cord paralysis such as tracheostomy, arytenoidectomy, cordectomy, botulinum toxin injection, re-innervation procedures. All these procedures have been applied in with varying success. Unilateral cord paralysis is more common and has better prognostic outcomes as compared to bilateral vocal cord paralysis.
Immunomodulatory Effects of a M2-Conditioned Medium (PRS®CK STORM): Theory on the Possible Complex Mechanism of Action through Anti-Inflammatory Modulation of the TLR System and the Purinergic System
Authors: Pedro Lapuente Juan
Published: May 2022

Co-culture of primary or mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) with M2 macrophages produces a very special conditioned medium with a recognizable and stable cytokine pattern (PRS CK STORM), independent of the donor, with unique anti-inflammatory properties. This product can regulate certain pathways of inflammation in an anti-inflammatory manner, including TLR3, TLR4, the inflammasome, and the purinergic system. The anti-inflammatory action of PRS CK STORM is demonstrated both by its composition and by its action in in vitro and in vivo inflammatory models. The study of the mechanism of action showed changes in the pattern of toll-like receptors (TLR) and purinergic receptors, with an increase in the relative expression of mRNA encoding A2a and A3 receptors, together with a decrease in the relative expression of mRNA encoding P2X7 receptors. Second, it mitigated the adverse effects of a systemic inflammatory process in mice, especially in comparison with a known anti-inflammatory drug (Anakinra). Thus, due to its profile in terms of biosafety and efficacy, PRS CK STORM may be a strong candidate to treat inflammatory processes, such as cytokine storm associated with severe infectious processes, including COVID-19.

This work considered post-stroke rehabilitation in sub-Saharan Africa, referencing psychosocial stress and wrongful cultural beliefs. Stroke, a neurological disease preventable by lifestyle changes, is increasing at, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). First-ever stroke cases stand the risk of a second, which could be fatal; hence the need for review of post-stroke rehabilitation strategies. In our work on survivors, we noted that most established risk factors do not necessarily apply in SSA. Of the 10 risk factors studied, hypertension was the commonest reported. In our study of 149 survivors in Nigeria, 73.1% suffered from hypertension; only 53.7% were aware of their hypertensive status before stroke incidence. When asked about risk factors, 19.4% mentioned hypertension, 0.7% diabetes mellitus but 13.1% psychological stress, and 13.4% spiritual attack/diabolical; 39.6% had no idea what caused stroke. The findings show the role hypertension, psychological stress and cultural ignorance play in fueling stroke in SSA. Further, 97.3% of survivors were married, 65.1% had 5 to 8 children, engaged in sedentary occupations, trading, farming, civil service, occupations also prone to economic woes in Nigeria. Commonest age of survivors was 60 to 75 years; a period of very stressful life in Nigeria. All these culminate to sustained psychosocial pressures, hypertension and stroke. There is urgent need to reduce psychosocial pressures, correct wrongful cultural beliefs, especially among survivors in sub-Saharan Africa. The strength of this work lies in the observation of lack of awareness and community screening as the most pronounced common variable among the survivors. The place of herbal medicine in post-stroke rehabilitation should be recognised. Of the 117 survivors who visited Bebe Herbal Centre for management, 99.1% were satisfied; 67.5% of them had satisfactory recovery in less than 1 month. Introduction of physiotherapy in Herbal centres would speed up recovery.
Determining an Adequate Number of Principal Components
Authors: L. Sclove Stanley
Published: May 2022

The problem of choosing the number of PCs to retain is analyzed in the context of model selection, using so-called model selection criteria (MSCs). For a prespecified set of models, indexed by k=1,2,…,K, these model selection criteria (MSCs) take the form MSCk=nLLk+anmk, where, for model k,LLk is the maximum log likelihood, mk is the number of independent parameters, and the constant an is an=lnn for BIC and an=2 for AIC. The maximum log likelihood LLk is achieved by using the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the parameters. In Gaussian models, LLk involves the logarithm of the mean squared error (MSE). The main contribution of this chapter is to show how to best use BIC to choose the number of PCs, and to compare these results to ad hoc procedures that have been used. Findings include the following. These are stated as they apply to the eigenvalues of the correlation matrix, which are between 0 and p and have an average of 1. For considering an additional PCk + 1, with AIC, inclusion of the additional PCk + 1 is justified if the corresponding eigenvalue λk+1 is greater than exp−2/n. For BIC, the inclusion of an additional PCk + 1 is justified if λk+1>n1/n, which tends to 1 for large n. Therefore, this is in approximate agreement with the average eigenvalue rule for correlation matrices, stating that one should retain dimensions with eigenvalues larger than 1.
The Qualitative Thesis

The Qualitative Thesis says that if you leave open P, then you are sure of if P, then Q just in case you are sure of the corresponding material conditional. We argue the Qualitative Thesis provides compelling reasons to accept a thesis that we call Conditional Locality, which says, roughly, the interpretation of an indicative conditional depends, in part, on the conditional’s local embedding environment. In the first part of the paper, we present an argument—due to Ben Holguín—showing that, without Conditional Locality, the Qualitative Thesis is in tension with a margin for error principle on rational sureness. We show Conditional Locality reconciles the Qualitative Thesis with the margin for error principle. In the second part, we argue the full range of data supports what we call the Strong Qualitative Thesis. Without Conditional Locality, the Strong Qualitative Thesis has unacceptable consequences. But with Conditional Locality, it is tenable.
Beyond bambole: Female Friendship in Italian Transnational Television
Authors: Bauman Rebecca
Published: May 2022

Recent television programming in Italy has begun to focus on the themes of female friendship and girlhood, moving from a long history of traditionally male-centered narratives towards stories that privilege female subjectivity. This article analyzes this recent trend by looking at three different programs: the HBO/Rai adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels L’amica geniale; the Netflix production Baby, based on the 2013 Rome teen prostitution scandal; and the web series SKAM Italia, based on the international series that originated in Norway. Despite their apparent distinctions in terms of target audiences, genre, and style, all three shows place the friendship between adolescent girls as their primary narrative concern. Through analyses of each series, we can see how these representations employ similar tropes in their depictions of girlhood and friendship, such as the mirroring and doubling of the female protagonists; the presence of the love triangle; the configuration of female friendship in relation to gay male characters; and the suggestion of potential lesbian desire. This article meditates on the possible motivations for this newfound focus on female subjectivity as a potential strategy for marketing Italian television worldwide.
