Copper nanoparticles induce zebrafish intestinal defects via endoplasmic reticulum and oxidative stress
Authors: Zhao Guang , Zhang Ting , Sun HaoJie , Liu Jing-Xia
Published: November 2019

As an essential trace element, copper plays key roles in the activation of multiple enzymes, neurotransmitter biosynthesis and denaturation, as well as the decomposition of superoxide and the synthesis of collagen. The intestines is the main organ for copper absorption and transfer, and intestinal copper accumulation is observed in some patients with gene mutations. However, a vertebrate model to link copper accumulation with intestinal diseases and defects is still lacking, and the data concerning the mechanisms underlying this link are still scarce. In this study, the effects of exogenous copper (CuNPs or their released Cu2+) on intestinal development in zebrafish embryos were investigated after their exposure to copper. The results showed that over 0.10 mg L−1 of CuNPs or Cu2+ damaged the zebrafish intestinal development, including thinned epithelial cells as well as few and shortened intestinal villi. Under CuNP stress, the expression was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced for the intestinal marker genes (slc15a1b, cyp3a65, cyp8b1, fabp2), but increased for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress marker (bip) in the zebrafish intestines. Additionally, immunofluorescence analysis revealed that CuNPs or Cu2+ induced the production of ER stress (indicated by PDI) and oxidative stress (indicated by 4-HNE) in the intestinal cells. The expression of the aforementioned intestinal marker genes could be restored to normal by inhibiting the production of ER stress or oxidative stress with ER stress alleviator PBA (4-phenylbutyric acid) or ROS scavengers GSH (reduced Glutathione) or NAC (Nacetylcysteine) in CuNP or Cu2+ stressed embryos, suggesting that copper induces intestinal defects mainly by ER and oxidative stress. Moreover, obvious intestinal defects were observed in copper-stressed cox17−/− and atp7a−/− mutants, implying that blocking the transportation of copper to the mitochondria or trans-Golgi network by deleting cox17 or atp7a could not alleviate copper-induced intestinal developmental defects. This is probably the first report to reveal that copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and their released ions (Cu2+) cause intestinal developmental defects via inducing ER and ROS stresses. It is also the first report on the intestinal developmental responses of cox17−/− or atp7a−/− mutants to copper stimulation.
Identification of the biliary selenium metabolite and the biological significance of selenium enterohepatic circulation
Authors: Takahashi Kazuaki , Ogra Yasumitsu
Published: November 2019

Although selenium (Se) is mainly excreted in urine, it has been reported that an unknown Se metabolite is excreted in bile. When we administered selenomethionine (SeMet), selenocyanate or selenite to rats, a common biliary selenometabolite was detected 10 min after administration. The amount of the selenometabolite originating from SeMet was less than that originating from the two inorganic Se compounds, selenocyanate and selenite, suggesting that the transformation from the methylated organic selenocompound, i.e., SeMet, was less efficient than that from the inorganic Se compounds. The common biliary selenometabolite was concretely identified as selenodiglutathione (GSSeSG) by two types of mass spectrometry, i.e., LC-inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and LC-ESI-Q/TOF. The bile-drained rats had lower urinary Se levels than the sham-operated rats. In addition, the Se amounts in urine plus bile of the bile-drained rats were comparable to the Se amount in the urine of the sham-operated rats. These results suggest that the biliary selenometabolite, GSSeSG, was reabsorbed in the gut and finally excreted in urine. Enterohepatic circulation occurs to maintain Se status in the body.

An Aphasia Treatment for Verbs With Low Concreteness: A Pilot Study
Authors: Bailey Dallin J. , Nessler Christina , Berggren Kiera N. , Wambaugh Julie L.
Published: November 2019

Purpose

Verbs with low concreteness are frequent in discourse samples but rarely targeted in aphasia treatments for verbs. These verbs are an important part of functional communication, and recent studies have called for more research regarding aphasia and treatment stimuli with low concreteness. The aim of this study was to pilot the use of verbs with low concreteness in a novel sentence production intervention with persons with aphasia.

Method

The study took the form of a single-case experimental design with multiple baselines across behaviors and across participants. Three persons with chronic nonfluent aphasia and apraxia of speech participated in the study. Each participant received treatment designed to increase the semantic networks of verbs with high frequency and low concreteness. Sentence production was closely examined over the course of treatment for treated and untreated verbs of varying concreteness levels. Additional measures of language and cognitive functioning were also taken before and after treatment.

Results

Results indicated improved sentence production with target verbs attributable to the treatment in the 1st phase of 2 phases for 2 of the 3 participants. The increases corresponded with the application of treatment, despite the difference in number of baseline sessions for the participants. Where there were treatment effects, there was also considerable generalization to untreated sets of items during the 1st treatment phase. Word retrieval also improved for 2 participants.

Conclusions

The results suggest that the novel treatment may improve sentence production and word retrieval in persons with aphasia, even when using target verbs with low concreteness ratings. Future research is warranted into the use of low concreteness verbs.

Fully automated scheme for computer‐aided detection and breast cancer diagnosis using digitised mammograms
Authors: Eltrass Ahmed S. , Salama Mohamed S.
Published: November 2019

Breast cancer becomes a significant public health problem in the world. During the early detection of breast cancer, it is a very challenging task to classify accurately the benign–malignant patterns in digital mammograms. This study proposes a new fully automated computer‐aided diagnosis (CAD) system for breast cancer diagnosis with high‐accuracy and low‐computational requirements. The expectation–maximisation algorithm is investigated to extract automatically the region of interests (ROIs) within mammograms. The standard shape, statistical, and textural features of ROIs are extracted and combined with multi‐resolution and multi‐orientation features derived from a new feature extraction technique based on wavelet‐based contourlet transform. A hybrid feature selection approach based on combining the support vector machine recursive feature elimination with correlation bias reduction algorithm is proposed. Also, the authors investigate a new similarity‐based learning algorithm, called Q, for benign–malignant classification. The proposed CAD system is applied to real clinical mammograms, and the experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed CAD system over other existing CAD systems in terms of accuracy 98.16%, sensitivity 98.63%, specificity 97.80%, and computational time 2.2 s. This reveals the effectiveness of the proposed CAD system in improving the accuracy of breast cancer diagnosis in real‐time systems.
Two‐stage image smoothing based on edge‐patch histogram equalisation and patch decomposition
Authors: Liu Yepeng , Ma Xiang , Li Xuemei , Zhang Caiming
Published: November 2019

Part of important structural edges in the image is smoothed due to the small gradients, while the others are preserved with greater gradients. Therefore, the authors propose a two‐stage image smoothing method based on edge‐patch histogram equalisation and patch decomposition. The authors' purpose is to increase the gradient of important structural edges while reducing the gradient of the texture region. Therefore, they divide the image into edge‐patches where the structural edges are concentrated or non‐edge‐patches where the texture details are concentrated by image segmentation. The edge‐patch needs to be equalised by the histograms for increasing the gradient of the edge pixels. All patches are decomposed to extract the smooth component for reducing the gradient of pixels. The smooth component of each patch is smoothed via gradient minimisation. In order to ensure the continuity of the patch boundaries, the edge‐patch is inversely equalised. Finally, the whole image is smoothed via gradient minimisation for removing residual textures and seams. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is more competitive in maintaining important structural edges and removing texture details than the state‐of‐the‐art approaches. The proposed method can be applied to many areas of image processing.
Robust retinal optic disc and optic cup segmentation via stationary wavelet transform and maximum vessel pixel sum
Authors: Biswal Birendra , Vyshnavi Eadara , Sairam Metta Venkata Satya , Rout Pravat Kumar
Published: November 2019

Glaucoma leads to irreversible blindness and its diagnosis relies heavily on cup to disc ratio. This ratio can be calculated by segmenting the optic disc (OD) and optic cup (OC) from the fundus image. However, the segmentation of OD and OC is a complex process and should be carried out with utmost accuracy to screen the risk of glaucoma. In order to circumvent this complexity, this study presents two novel algorithms to segment the OD and OC boundaries, respectively by creating an automated region of interest (ROI). The first algorithm uses the inverse polar transform to segment OD where the horizontal coefficients of sixth level decomposition Daubechies stationary wavelet transform of ROI is processed. The second algorithm uses maximum vessel pixel sum to extract the complete OC region by extending the partial cup edges to the nasal side of the cup boundary. This approach covers the region under central retinal blood vessels also which were missing in earlier research. The proposed algorithms achieved an accuracy rate up to 99.70% for OD and 99.47% for OC segmentation, respectively even under severe retinal pathological conditions.
Semantic combined network for zero‐shot scene parsing
Authors: Wang Yinduo , Zhang Haofeng , Wang Shidong , Long Yang , Yang Longzhi
Published: November 2019

Recently, image‐based scene parsing has attracted increasing attention due to its wide application. However, conventional models can only be valid on images with the same domain of the training set and are typically trained using discrete and meaningless labels. Inspired by the traditional zero‐shot learning methods which employ auxiliary side information to bridge the source and target domains, the authors propose a novel framework called semantic combined network (SCN), which aims at learning a scene parsing model only from the images of the seen classes while targeting on the unseen ones. In addition, with the assistance of semantic embeddings of classes, the proposed SCN can further improve the performances of traditional fully supervised scene parsing methods. Extensive experiments are conducted on the data set Cityscapes, and the results show that the proposed SCN can perform well on both zero‐shot scene parsing (ZSSP) and generalised ZSSP settings based on several state‐of‐the‐art scenes parsing architectures. Furthermore, the authors test the proposed model under the traditional fully supervised setting and the results show that the proposed SCN can also significantly improve the performances of the original network models.

In the introduction, the topic of passive radar jamming and the possibilities of using dipole reflectors (Chaff) to provide radar camouflage are described. This study further describes the two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional mathematical and physical simulations and rows of Chaff in free space. It then concentrates on the rotation and distances of Chaff with regard to electric field and radar cross‐section (RCS) of simulating Chaff puffs in limited space. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by complex computer based simulation. Finally, the required amount of Chaff for protecting aircraft in airspace is determined. This study provides a detailed overview of the physical processes occurring in a limited number of Chaff in open space by the use of a modern simulation software tool.
Squint‐minimised chirp scaling algorithm for bistatic forward‐looking SAR imaging
Authors: Zhang Xiaohu , Gu Hong , Su Weimin
Published: November 2019

A new focusing solution for one‐stationary bistatic forward‐looking synthetic aperture radar (BFSAR) is presented in this study. Due to the potential applications of BFSAR, such as aircraft self‐landing, missile terminal guidance, BFSAR technique receives considerable attention. However, the BFSAR system usually has a large forward‐looking (or squint) angle. It brings severe range cell migration and strong range dependence of effective frequency‐modulation rate. Therefore, the focusing depths of traditional imaging algorithms, such as the range Doppler algorithm, chirp scaling algorithm (CSA), are not enough to process the BFSAR data. To accommodate for this problem, a squint‐minimisation method for BFSAR is studied in thisarticle. Squint‐minimisation method is used to shear the highly squint data to small squint data. Then, the authors propose a modified CSA based on the sheared data to implement imaging. Numerical simulations are carried out and show that the proposed algorithm still has a good focusing depth under a large forward‐looking angle.
Collaborative multi‐aggregator electric vehicle charge scheduling with PV‐assisted charging stations under variable solar profiles
Authors: Gupta Vishu , Konda Srikanth Reddy , Kumar Rajesh , Panigrahi Bijaya Ketan
Published: November 2019

Electric vehicles (EVs) are on the path to becoming a solution to the emissions released by the internal combustion engine vehicles that are on the road. EV charging management integration requires a smart grid platform that allows for communication and control between the aggregator, consumer and grid. This study presents an operational strategy for PV‐assisted charging stations (PVCSs) that allows the EV to be charged primarily by PV energy, followed by the EV station's battery storage (BS) and the grid. Multi‐Aggregator collaborative scheduling is considered that includes a monetary penalty on the aggregator for any unscheduled EVs. The impact of the PVCS is compared to the case with no PV/BS is included. A variation in the PV profile is included in the evaluation to assess its impact on total profits. Profit results are compared in cases of minimum, average and maximum PV energy output. The results indicate that the inclusion of penalties due to unscheduled EVs resulted in lowered profits. Further, the profits experienced an increase as the number of EVs scheduled through PV/BS increased, implying that a lesser percentage of EVs are scheduled by the grid when a greater amount of PV and battery energy are available.

Published: November 2019

The article analyzes the relationship of solving environmental problems with the dynamics of demographic processes in industrialized regions. The attention is focused on the fact that social policy, development of social infrastructure, as well as its relevance depends on the demographic processes taking place at the regional level. Especially important to improve the legal framework for the development and disclosure of human potential, regional investment attractiveness, which will ultimately contribute to the stabilization of the demographic and socio-cultural situation both at the professional and daily levels. In this regard, attention is drawn to the fact that the disclosure of labor potential is impossible without taking into account the interests of the business community in educational technologies, in which, in the regional labor market, not only specialists with a narrow set of practical skills, but also with a wide range of fundamental training are in demand. The purpose of the development of the dominant regional segment of large business (coal companies, holdings, etc.) is the introduction of new technics, improvement of technologies, etc. in the field of mining and processing of minerals to level of competitive, environmentally «clean» product not only for foreign markets, but also for domestic consumers. The economic niche of small and medium-sized businesses are enterprises of social and infrastructure sectors of the economy. Related to this are issues of staffing, social and socio-cultural problems in the industrial development of the regions.

Development and essence of global evolutionism problem
Authors: Brusko Olga
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this article is to disclose ideas about the development and essence of global evolutionism problem. The author claims that global evolutionism is, on the one hand, one of the fundamental principles of the reality existence, but at the same time an integrative research concept, built on a universal model of evolution, synthesizing the development of space, earth, nature, society and the individual person. The development of global evolutionism concept was facilitated by the ideas of traditional for philosophy processuality and development, which, however, were ambiguously interpreted in the history of culture. Global evolutionism is based on a systematic study of nature through a theoretical synthesis of evolutionary and systemic research methods. Global evolutionism development is a vivid proof that by now philosophy has not lost its ability to generate new areas of not only separate science, but also of general scientific and interdisciplinary knowledge.
Eponyms in science terms (Epistemological aspect)
Authors: Koshlakov Dmitriy , Khokhlova Marina , Tsareva Galina , Garbuzova Galina
Published: November 2019

The paper is devoted to eponyms used in scientific discourse. The concept of the eponym is borrowed from linguistic research. The term is understood from epistemological standpoint. It is stated that eponyms realize two functions in the language of science – cognitive and communicative. It is also stressed that to some extend eponyms connect two worlds – the world of ideas and the world of people, or, more specifically, the world of abstract concepts and the world of scientists, who study these abstract concepts. Historical examples (cases) demonstrating some features of functioning eponyms are given and discussed. The main historical example for the study is the history of discovering Lorentz’s transformations, which had a significant impact on forming the theory of special relativity. In addition, the paper gives the analysis of some other examples, in particular, related to such terms as Halley's comet, L'Hospital rule, Russell's paradox. It is noted that the fact of discovering some scientific object by one or another scientist in general is not the only reason for forming an eponym containing the name of this scientist. The formation of eponyms is influenced by many other factors, including social and political ones.
New paradigm of social development in the context of digital economy
Authors: Ten Yulia , Trifonov Ivan
Published: November 2019

The relevance of the research is connected to the fact that in the context of the coming era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the globalization of the economy is the irreversible process that it involves more and more countries, regions and peoples.

The philosophy of work in the Gulag: two views in comparison
Authors: Carluccio Antonio
Published: November 2019

This article is devoted to the topic of work, in the frame of the Soviet labor camp, from the point of view of two leading exponents of the lagernaya literatura: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, with his novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski with the memoir A World Apart. Both authors write on the same theme, the life of a prisoner, but the focus on the work activities and the interpretation they give is completely different. The description of the working day, the consequences it makes on the everyday life of the prisoners, the struggle for the food needed for surviving the harsh climatic and detention conditions, and finally the philosophical approach used to represent the forced labor, present relevant differences. This article is meant to analyze those differences through the authors' very own words and literary studies. We start from the very raw information detectable by a thorough reading of the two works, going through a moral analysis of the events narrated. While the core narration happens within the same tragic frame, the conclusions they draw are ultimately different.
Cultural memory and paradigms in the study of the past: philosophy, history, cultural studies
Authors: Mareeva Elena , Vorobyova Anna
Published: November 2019

The study deals with the fundamental differences in understanding the past in the philosophy of history, in classical historical science, as well as in memory studies. The authors represent the features of the formation of a non-classical methodological paradigm in the interpretation of history by A. Warburg, in the German “historical school”, in the neo-Kantians of the Baden school and in the Annals school. The non-classical methodology in the study of the past is presented in the reversion from conscious personal choice to the mechanisms of the unconscious rallying of the collective in the concepts of cultural memory by M. Halbwachs and J. Assmann. The peculiarity of “mentality”, “identity” and “cultural memory” as concepts of modern non-classical discourse is revealed. It is concluded that the construction of mythological images of the past is a novation of the era of “managed democracy”, which carries elements of authoritarianism. The past, as demonstrated by memory studies, has once again become a myth that the media make good use of.
Archetypes and design
Authors: Pigulevskiy Viktor , Mirskaya Liudmila
Published: November 2019

Identification of basic archetypes and their remote structure in the context of civilization design, industrial and communicative design makes it possible to specify age-long stability of certain patterns and instruments. This contributes to design of effective models and necessary things. Archetypes as constantly recurring patterns of actions reflected in the mind in the form of unconscious schemes, patterns of thinking, behaviour and perception. Archetypes are a level of connection between being and thinking in the process of work, an area of contact of human corporeality and material side of the world. In the context of technical progress, miniaturization of gadgets and integration of functions, archetypal items remain highly-demanded. The clock with a round dial symbolizes the archetype of “eternal return”. Instruments and lever control systems, a lamp with the mechanism of “lever balance”, which simulates levels of human arm freedom, express the archetype of action. A jar made by a master on a potter’s wheel symbolizes a “vessel of life”, embodies the archetype of rotation, “wheel of life”. Symbolic figures of visual communication – circle, spiral, swastika and concentric circles – also present the archetype of rotation. Mandala, a special symbol that can be noticed in the design of visual communications, as well as in city plans in ancient civilizations, expresses the archetype of selfness. The design of civilizations has constants established by the contact of human corporeality and material side of the world. However, most of contemporary things that have a symbolic meaning lack being universal, since they are made within the structure of civilization, beyond incrustation of human corporeality in the world. Acting in the world, a person constantly repeats life patterns; this archetype of “eternal return” remains a basic attitude of the design.
