Measurement and Comparison of Melt-Blowing Airflow Fields: Nozzle Modifications to Reduce Turbulence and Fibre Whipping
Authors: Yang Ying , Zeng Yongchun
Published: February 2021

In the melt-blowing process, micro/nanofibrous nonwovens are attenuated and formed through aerodynamic force in a turbulent airflow field. In this work, two types of airflow-directors were added under a common melt-blowing slot-die nozzle to obtain modified airflow fields. The effect of airflow-directors on time-averaged characteristics, turbulence intensity, and temperature fluctuation intensity are achieved through the simultaneous measurement of fluctuating velocity and fluctuating temperature using a two-wire probe hot-wire anemometer. Moreover, the influence of airflow-directors on fibre oscillations are also investigated through high-speed photography. The distribution of turbulence intensity and temperature fluctuation intensity reveals the characteristics of fluctuating airflow fields formed by different melt-blowing slot-die nozzles. Through the analyses of airflow characteristics and fibre oscillations, we can find that the arrangement of airflow-directors has a great impact on both turbulence distribution and fibre oscillation.
Polymeric Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Therapies: An up-to-date Overview
Authors: Spirescu Vera Alexandra , Chircov Cristina , Grumezescu Alexandru Mihai , Andronescu Ecaterina
Published: February 2021

Despite the many advancements in the pharmaceutical and medical fields and the development of numerous antimicrobial drugs aimed to suppress and destroy pathogenic microorganisms, infectious diseases still represent a major health threat affecting millions of lives daily. In addition to the limitations of antimicrobial drugs associated with low transportation rate, water solubility, oral bioavailability and stability, inefficient drug targeting, considerable toxicity, and limited patient compliance, the major cause for their inefficiency is the antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms. In this context, the risk of a pre-antibiotic era is a real possibility. For this reason, the research focus has shifted toward the discovery and development of novel and alternative antimicrobial agents that could overcome the challenges associated with conventional drugs. Nanotechnology is a possible alternative, as there is significant evidence of the broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of nanomaterials and nanoparticles in particular. Moreover, owing to their considerable advantages regarding their efficient cargo dissolving, entrapment, encapsulation, or surface attachment, the possibility of forming antimicrobial groups for specific targeting and destruction, biocompatibility and biodegradability, low toxicity, and synergistic therapy, polymeric nanoparticles have received considerable attention as potential antimicrobial drug delivery agents. In this context, the aim of this paper is to provide an up-to-date overview of the most recent studies investigating polymeric nanoparticles designed for antimicrobial therapies, describing both their targeting strategies and their effects.
Effective and Efficient Resonant Transitions in Periodically Modulated Quantum Systems
Authors: Sainz Isabel , García Andrés , Klimov Andrei B.
Published: February 2021

We analyze periodically modulated quantum systems with SU(2) and SU(1,1) symmetries. Transforming the Hamiltonian into the Floquet representation we apply the Lie transformation method, which allows us to classify all effective resonant transitions emerging in time-dependent systems. In the case of a single periodically perturbed system, we propose an explicit iterative procedure for the determination of the effective interaction constants corresponding to every resonance both for weak and strong modulation. For coupled quantum systems we determine the efficient resonant transitions appearing as a result of time modulation and intrinsic non-linearities.
Extraterrestrial Influences on Remote Sensing in the Earth’s Atmosphere
Authors: Nina Aleksandra , Radovanović Milan , Popović Luka
Published: February 2021

Atmospheric properties have a significant influence on electromagnetic (EM) waves, including the propagation of EM signals used for remote sensing. For this reason, changes in the received amplitudes and phases of these signals can be used for the detection of the atmospheric disturbances and, consequently, for their investigation. Some of the most important sources of the temporal and space variations in the atmospheric parameters come from the outer space. Although the solar radiation dominates in these processes, radiation coming out of the solar system also can induces enough intensive disturbance in the atmosphere to provide deflections in the EM signal propagation paths. The aim of this issue is to present the latest research linking events and processes in outer space with changes in the propagation of the satellite and ground-based signals used in remote sensing.
Forecasting of Glucose Levels and Hypoglycemic Events: Head-to-Head Comparison of Linear and Nonlinear Data-Driven Algorithms Based on Continuous Glucose Monitoring Data Only
Authors: Prendin Francesco , Del Favero Simone , Vettoretti Martina , Sparacino Giovanni , Facchinetti Andrea
Published: February 2021

In type 1 diabetes management, the availability of algorithms capable of accurately forecasting future blood glucose (BG) concentrations and hypoglycemic episodes could enable proactive therapeutic actions, e.g., the consumption of carbohydrates to mitigate, or even avoid, an impending critical event. The only input of this kind of algorithm is often continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor data, because other signals (such as injected insulin, ingested carbs, and physical activity) are frequently unavailable. Several predictive algorithms fed by CGM data only have been proposed in the literature, but they were assessed using datasets originated by different experimental protocols, making a comparison of their relative merits difficult. The aim of the present work was to perform a head-to-head comparison of thirty different linear and nonlinear predictive algorithms using the same dataset, given by 124 CGM traces collected over 10 days with the newest Dexcom G6 sensor available on the market and considering a 30-min prediction horizon. We considered the state-of-the art methods, investigating, in particular, linear black-box methods (autoregressive; autoregressive moving-average; and autoregressive integrated moving-average, ARIMA) and nonlinear machine-learning methods (support vector regression, SVR; regression random forest; feed-forward neural network, fNN; and long short-term memory neural network). For each method, the prediction accuracy and hypoglycemia detection capabilities were assessed using either population or individualized model parameters. As far as prediction accuracy is concerned, the results show that the best linear algorithm (individualized ARIMA) provides accuracy comparable to that of the best nonlinear algorithm (individualized fNN), with root mean square errors of 22.15 and 21.52 mg/dL, respectively. As far as hypoglycemia detection is concerned, the best linear algorithm (individualized ARIMA) provided precision = 64%, recall = 82%, and one false alarm/day, comparable to the best nonlinear technique (population SVR): precision = 63%, recall = 69%, and 0.5 false alarms/day. In general, the head-to-head comparison of the thirty algorithms fed by CGM data only made using a wide dataset shows that individualized linear models are more effective than population ones, while no significant advantages seem to emerge when employing nonlinear methodologies.

Published: February 2021

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is one of the latest technologies for high spatial resolution 3D modeling of the Earth. The objectives of this study are to assess low-cost UAV data using image radiometric transformation techniques and investigate its effects on global and local accuracy of the Digital Surface Model (DSM). This research uses UAV Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data from 80 m and UAV Drone data from 300 and 500 m flying height. RAW UAV images acquired from 500 m flying height are radiometrically transformed in Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB). UAV images from 300 m flying height are processed for the generation of 3D point cloud and DSM in Pix4D Mapper. UAV LIDAR data are used for the acquisition of Ground Control Points (GCP) and accuracy assessment of UAV Image data products. Accuracy of enhanced DSM with DSM generated from 300 m flight height were analyzed for point cloud number, density and distribution. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value of Z is enhanced from ±2.15 m to ±0.11 m. For local accuracy assessment of DSM, four different types of land covers are statistically compared with UAV LIDAR resulting in compatibility of enhancement technique with UAV LIDAR accuracy.

Published: February 2021

Low amounts of physical activity (PA) and prolonged periods of sedentary activity are common in hospitalized patients. Objective PA monitoring is needed to prevent the negative effects of inactivity, but a suitable algorithm is lacking. The aim of this study is to optimize and validate a classification algorithm that discriminates between sedentary, standing, and dynamic activities, and records postural transitions in hospitalized patients under free-living conditions. Optimization and validation in comparison to video analysis were performed in orthopedic and acutely hospitalized elderly patients with an accelerometer worn on the upper leg. Data segmentation window size (WS), amount of PA threshold (PA Th) and sensor orientation threshold (SO Th) were optimized in 25 patients, validation was performed in another 25. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and (absolute) percentage error were used to assess the algorithm’s performance. Optimization resulted in the best performance with parameter settings: WS 4 s, PA Th 4.3 counts per second, SO Th 0.8 g. Validation showed that all activities were classified within acceptable limits (>80% sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, ±10% error), except for the classification of standing activity. As patients need to increase their PA and interrupt sedentary behavior, the algorithm is suitable for classifying PA in hospitalized patients.
Conceptual Model for Explaining Academic Achievements and Social Functioning of Students with and without Learning Disorders
Authors: Zach Sima , Yazdi-Ugav Orly
Published: February 2021

The purpose of the study was to develop a comprehensive model that examines whether motor abilities and socioemotional adjustment contribute to the academic achievement and social functioning of students. Participants were 733 children, aged 6.04–13.72 years. Among them, 642 were typically achieving children, and 91 were children with learning disorders (LD). Measurements were: Children’s Sense of Coherence Scale, Children’s feelings of loneliness and social dissatisfaction, The Social Skills Rating System, and The Test of Motor Impairment–Henderson Revision. Results showed that LD explains all dependent variables in the model. According to this model, there is a valid reason for the controversy that still exists between policy makers who focus on academic achievement and early childhood educators who emphasize social skills and behavior.

The emerging of the fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0 (I4.0), from the advancement in several technologies is viewed not only to promote economic growth, but also to enable a greener future. The 2030 Agenda of the United Nations for sustainable development sets out clear goals for the industry to foster the economy, while preserving social well-being and ecological validity. However, the influence of I4.0 technologies on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) has not been conclusively or systematically investigated. By understanding the link between the I4.0 technologies and the SDGs, researchers can better support policymakers to consider the technological advancement in updating and harmonizing policies and strategies in different sectors (i.e., education, industry, and governmental) with the SDGs. To address this gap, academic experts in this paper have investigated the influence of I4.0 technologies on the sustainability targets identified by the UN. Key I4.0 element technologies have been classified to enable a quantitative mapping with the 17 SDGs. The results indicate that the majority of the I4.0 technologies can contribute positively to achieving the UN agenda. It was also found that the effects of the technologies on individual goals varies between direct and strong, and indirect and weak influences. The main insights and lessons learned from the mapping are provided to support future policy.

Aspetos importantes do legado árabe na língua portuguesa
Authors: Suisse Abdelilah
Published: February 2021

Durante o domínio muçulmano na Península Ibérica, no Al-Andalus e Gharb Al- Andalus, que teve lugar entre 711 e 1492, a língua árabe foi um relevante veículo de cultura e de ciência nessa região,vtendo deixado um legado linguístico notável nas línguas ibéricas (1).

O presente artigo propõe-se descrever e analisar alguns aspetos importantes da influência árabe na língua portuguesa. O estudo realizou-se partindo da seleção de um corpus composto por vinte arabismos pertencente a vários campos linguísticos.

Concluiu-se que a influência da língua árabe no português está associada, sobretudo, à conservação dos artigos lunar (ex. alface, alfazema, almoxa-rife) e solar (2) (ex. adufe, açude, açúcar) que se aglutinam aos substantivos, atuando como prefixos. Através destes e doutros exemplos, verificou-se que os aprendentes de português (cuja língua materna é o árabe) acabam, na realidade, por empregar uma forma híbrida, usando dois artigos definidos – o do português [o/a(s)] e o do árabe [al] ou [a]. Poder-se-á, assim, dizer que o uso duplicado do artigo constitui o traço mais marcante dos arabismos que afetam o português. Ao nível cultural, o trabalho apresenta e explica alguns exemplos de difusão cultural árabe-muçulmana na Península Ibérica em que os arabismos testemunham, verdadeiramente, essa aculturação que se manifesta amplamente na agricultura, nas artes e ciências, na arquitetura, entre muitos outros domínios.

1 - Neste artigo, as línguas ibéricas remetem neste artigo para o castelhano e para o português.

2 - A origem desta designação tem a ver com o facto de “o sol”, em árabe, alshams / ￼ , ser pronunciado asshams, assimilando o l / ل; enquanto “a lua”, escreve-se e pronuncia-se alqamar / ￼ . Por esta razão, “o sol” e “a lua” foram tomadas em árabe como referências pelos linguistas para distinguir dois tipos fonéticos de artigo definido. Como consequência desta distinção, na língua árabe encontramos, também, consoantes solares e lunares.

A STUDY ON THE PREVALENCE OF CARDIAC AUTONOMIC NEUROPATHY IN DIABETIC PATIENTS – A HOSPITAL BASED STUDY.
Authors: Das Tridip Kumar , Barman Rintu
Published: February 2021

Background: Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy (DAN) is a serious and common complication of diabetes. Despite its relationship to an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and its association with the multiple symptoms and impairments, the signicance of diabetic autonomic neuropathy has not been fully appreciated. DAN can manifests in a spectrum of things, ranging from resting tachycardia and xed heart rate (HR) to development of “silent” myocardial infarction.The prevalence of CAN is variable based on published studies and ranges from 2% to 91% in type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and 25% to 75% in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This signicant variability can likely be attributed to the lack of a uniform 2 diagnostic criteria as well as underdiagnosis in the typical hospital setting. Aim And Objectives :To study the prevalence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in hospital admitted diabetic patients. Materials And Methods : 60 diabetic patients were taken for the study of which 48 were males and 12 were females.The study was carried out in tertiary care teaching hospital in North east India after clearance from institutional ethics committee. Subjects were divided according to duration of diabetes as Group I : 0 – 5 years(24 patients), Group II : 6 – 9 years(24patients), Group II I: 10 years or more(12 patients). Then special interest was taken to nd out cardiac autonomic neuropathy and all the 5 tests were carried out in each of the patients to detect cardiac autonomic neuropathy and were divided into 3 groups. Group I ( normal autonomic function test), group II ( early DAN), group III ( denitive DAN ). Results : In the present study it has been observed that out of 24 (40%) cases of diabetes mellitus in the 0 – 5 year duration group, 4 cases (16.7%) are having autonomic neuropathy, out of 24 cases in the duration group 6 – 9 years, 10 cases (41.7%) are having autonomic neuropathy and in the duration group ≥ 10 years, 8 cases out of 12 (66.7%) showing neuropathy. In the present study prevalence of diabetic autonomic neuropathy out of 60 number of patients taken it was seen as: 38 cases (63.3%) with normal autonomic function tests placed in group I, 12 cases (20%) with only cardiac parasympathetic damage or early DAN were placed in group II and 10 cases (16.7%) with both cardiac parasympathetic and sympathetic damage or denitive DAN were placed in group III. So out of 60 diabetic patients, 22 patients (36.7%) showed abnormal cardiovascular reex in the present study. Conclusion: It has been observed from the present study that duration of diabetes mellitus is directly proportional to development of cardiac autonomic neuropathy.

The current study was conducted in the Animal field of the Department of Animal Production – College of Agriculture - Al-Qasim Green University for the period from 10/10/2019 to 19/1/2020 to investigate the effect of addition of monensin at levels of 15, 30 and 45 mg/kg concentrate on growth performance of Awassi lambs. First treatment in which lambs were fed concentrate diet without addition of monensin was considered the control treatment. Sixteen male Awassi lambs were used with an average weight of 24.85 and 4-6 months of age. The lambs were randomly distributed to the experimental treatments, four lambs per each using the individual feeding in the cages. The concentrate diet was offered at a level of 2.75% of the body weight at 2 meals, morning and evening meals, while the ground wheat straw was offered at free choice. Results revealed no significant effect of level of monensin on pH values, whereas ruminal ammonia concentrations were significantly decreased (P˂0.05) from 7.54 in the control treatment to 6.08 and 6.45 mg/100 ml due to addition of monensin at levels of 30 and 45 mg/kg. Moreover, addition of monensin at a level of 30 mg/kg concentrate diet significantly increased (P˂0.05) ruminal concentration of total volatile fatty acids to 13.76 as compared with 10.99 mM/100 ml for control treatment. Concentrations of all rumen fermentation characteristics were significantly affected (P˂0.01) by time of ensiling.
