Stress-induced chaperones: a first line of defense against the powerful oxidant hypochlorous acid
Authors: Goemans Camille V. , Collet Jean-François
Published: September 2019

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl; bleach) is a powerful weapon used by our immune system to eliminate invading bacteria. Yet the way HOCl actually kills bacteria and how they defend themselves from its oxidative action have only started to be uncovered. As this molecule induces both protein oxidation and aggregation, bacteria need concerted efforts of chaperones and antioxidants to maintain proteostasis during stress. Recent advances in the field identified several stress-activated chaperones, like Hsp33, RidA, and CnoX, which display unique structural features and play a central role in protecting the bacterial proteome during HOCl stress.
Active Acquisition for multimodal neuroimaging

Published: September 2019

In many clinical and scientific situations the optimal neuroimaging sequence may not be known prior to scanning and may differ for each individual being scanned, depending on the exact nature and location of abnormalities. Despite this, the standard approach to data acquisition, in such situations, is to specify the sequence of neuroimaging scans prior to data acquisition and to apply the same scans to all individuals. In this paper, we propose and illustrate an alternative approach, in which data would be analysed as it is acquired and used to choose the future scanning sequence: Active Acquisition. We propose three Active Acquisition scenarios based around multiple MRI modalities. In Scenario 1, we propose a simple use of near-real time analysis to decide whether to acquire more or higher resolution data, or acquire data with a different field-of-view. In Scenario 2, we simulate how multimodal MR data could be actively acquired and combined with a decision tree to classify a known outcome variable (in the simple example here, age). In Scenario 3, we simulate using Bayesian optimisation to actively search across multiple MRI modalities to find those which are most abnormal. These simulations suggest that by actively acquiring data, the scanning sequence can be adapted to each individual. We also consider the many outstanding practical and technical challenges involving normative data acquisition, MR physics, statistical modelling and clinical relevance. Despite these, we argue that Active Acquisition allows for potentially far more powerful, sensitive or rapid data acquisition, and may open up different perspectives on individual differences, clinical conditions, and biomarker discovery.
The grant is dead, long live the data - migration as a pragmatic exit strategy for research data preservation
Authors: Zielinski Tomasz , Hay Johnny , Millar Andrew J.
Published: September 2019

Open research, data sharing and data re-use have become a priority for publicly- and charity-funded research. Efficient data management naturally requires computational resources that assist in data description, preservation and discovery. While it is possible to fund development of data management systems, currently it is more difficult to sustain data resources beyond the original grants. That puts the safety of the data at risk and undermines the very purpose of data gathering.

PlaSMo stands for ‘Plant Systems-biology Modelling’ and the PlaSMo model repository was envisioned by the plant systems biology community in 2005 with the initial funding lasting until 2010. We addressed the sustainability of the PlaSMo repository and assured preservation of these data by implementing an exit strategy. For our exit strategy we migrated data to an alternative, public repository with secured funding. We describe details of our decision process and aspects of the implementation. Our experience may serve as an example for other projects in a similar situation.

We share our reflections on the sustainability of biological data management and the future outcomes of its funding. We expect it to be a useful input for funding bodies.

Authors: Zahra Syed Rameem , Chishti Mohammad Ahsan
Published: September 2019

The purpose of this paper is to chalk out the criticality of the most important pillar of Internet of Things (IoT),i.e., Security and Privacy (S&P). IoT has seen its journey from implausible and impossible to sustainable and tenable. Its rateof expansion into various grounds from agriculture to sports; personal health to intelligent trac detection; waste managementto smart homes is astonishing, dramatic and unforeseen. With such vast adaptability and functionality, its security remains thebiggest concern because in contrast to the traditional networks, IoT faces huge vulnerabilities some of which are inherent and othersexplicit. The existing security solutions cannot be implemented in IoT because of its unique characteristics. Therefore, there is adire need to develop novel security procedures betting IoT. This paper spots the features that are peculiar to IoT and concurrentlyanalyzes the security threats and challenges they pose. This work also provides a glimpse of the major IoT implementations withtheir particular security requirements and challenges. Moreover, this paper critically evaluates the proposed countermeasures tosecurity attacks on dierent features and why they cannot be used in IoT environments. Also, it is found that most of the securitysolutions used in IoT devices are inspired from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) but the striking dierences among the two makethem inadequate in IoT. The security requirements and challenges peculiar to various IoT services are also identied. To assist theresearchers in remaining up-to-date, we for the rst time have thoroughly expressed some of the most famous and practical attacksfaced across the world in the recent past, how much damage they caused, how much nancial losses were faced, etc.
AMIGM: Animal Migration Inspired Group Mobility Model for Mobile Ad hoc Networks
Authors: Verma Jyotsna , Kesswani Nishtha
Published: September 2019

The most widespread notion of mobility model is the representation of mobile node’s movement pattern in the wireless ad hoc networks which has a significant impact on the performance of the network protocols. In this paper, we have proposed an Animal Migration Inspired Group Mobility (AMIGM) model for mobile ad hoc networks based on the migration behavior of animals like, insects, flock of birds, schools of fishes, reptiles, amphibians, etc. The propound model tries to overcome the limitations of the existing mobility models, such as temporal dependencies, spatial dependencies, geographical restrictions and migration of nodes between the group of nodes so that it can realistically model the real world application scenarios. The proposed AMIGM model is based on Animal Migration Optimization (AMO) algorithm, in which each group of nodes has two phases namely, Migration phase and Population updating phase. In the first phase, the model simulates the movement of nodes in the group from one position to another by obeying the swarming laws. In the second phase, the model simulates joining and leaving of the nodes in the group during migration. The protocol dependent and independent performance metrics of the proposed model are compared with Random Waypoint Mobility model (RWP) and Reference Point Group Mobility model (RPGM) through ns-2 simulator.

Authors: Chavez Jose C. , Enciso Juan , Ganjegunte Girisha , Rajan Nithya , Jifon John , Singh Vijay P.
Published: September 2019

Biomass sorghum ( (L.) Moench) is widely recognized for its high biomass yield potential, high efficiency in converting solar energy into biomass, and high efficiency in water use for biofuel production. Therefore, it could be a sustainable alternative to traditional food/feed crops in south Texas. The objectives of this investigation were to: (1) quantify the growth response and dry biomass productivity of a forage sorghum hybrid (Pioneer 877F) and two high-biomass sorghum hybrids (Blade ES 5140 and Blade ES 5200) in south Texas, (2) determine the radiation use efficiency (RUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) of the sorghum hybrids over two years, and (3) identify variations in WUE and water used among the hybrids. The experiments were conducted at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center at Weslaco, Texas, during the 2015 and 2016 growing seasons. There were significant differences among hybrids during the two years in dry biomass, RUE, and WUE. The highest productivities and efficiencies were observed in the biomass hybrids. Blade ES 5200 produced an average dry biomass of 32.8 Mg ha-1 with a leaf area index (LAI) of 6.0 m2 m-2, RUE of 4.92 g MJ-1, and WUE of 6.98 kg m-3. In contrast to the biomass hybrids, the forage hybrid produced the lowest yields. The average dry biomass observed was 20.9 Mg ha-1 with an LAI of 2.6 m2 m-2, RUE of 3.52 g MJ-1, and WUE of 4.28 kg m-3. Our results show that biomass sorghum hybrids can produce up to 66% more biomass than forage hybrids, and they have potential for producing as much as 33 Mg ha-1 with 530 mm of water using drip irrigation in south Texas. Keywords: Biomass sorghum, Crop growth rate, Radiation use efficiency, Water use efficiency.

Published: September 2019

Impact sensors are widely used to detect grain losses in harvesters. Using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films as sensing elements is a promising way to improve sensor performance due to their high sensitivity, stability, and flexibility. However, the overlap of collision signals significantly reduces the accuracy of a sensor. To solve this problem, a novel impact sensor with two crossed PVDF films was designed and investigated. This sensor has two orthogonal layers of sensing elements that both respond to impacts, which creates positioning information for the impacts. Because of the sensor’s structure, a signal processing method was designed based on multisensor fusion theory. Tests were performed to verify the performance of the proposed impact sensor. The average signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) for impacted PVDF films were 34.79 and 20.23 dB, respectively, for the upper and lower layers, while the average signal-to-clutter ratios (SCRs) for nonimpacted films were 21.90 and 10.05 dB, respectively. The sensor also has an extremely high detection efficiency of at least 1528 collisions per second and can identify particles that impact at the same time. Keywords: Grain loss detection, Impact sensors, Multisensor fusion, Particle impact tests, PVDF films.

Neuroendocrinology of the reproductive system (state of physiological studies and prospects for their use in clinical practice)
Authors: Babichev V. N.
Published: September 2019

The author analyzes the neuroendocrine relationships between the true adrenergic and cholinergic neuromediators and peptide neuromediators, on the one hand, and neurosecretory neurons regulating gonadotropin and prolactin secretion, on the other. About 30 neuromediators of different origin are characterized with due consideration for their localization in the CNS structures, involvement in the production and secretion of gonadotropin releasing factor, gonadotropins, prolactin, and, hence, the function of the reproductive system in general. The impact of the hormone background of sex steroids in the system of these intricate relationships is analyzed. The author presents his own findings and published data on the time course of catecholamine levels in hypothalamic structures involved in the regulation of the pituitary gonadotropic function and analyzes correlations between changed levels of sex steroids and gonadotropins in the blood and the time course of changes of catecholamines and luteotropin releasing factor in the hypothalamus. Possible mechanisms of coordination of different neuromediators of adrenergic origin and amino neuromediators with different mechanisms of action during the regulation of normal function of the reproductive system are discussed. The author assesses the efficacy of treating disorders of the reproductive system caused by the CNS disorders by combinations of sex hormones and neurotropic agents.

The urgency of the problem of endocrine ophthalmopathy (EOP) is currently in no doubt. This is due to the fact that relatively recently methods of objective assessment of the state of the eyeball and orbital tissues using ultrasound (ultrasound), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have appeared. At the same time, the etiology and pathogenesis of EOP are not well understood, which undoubtedly affects the validity and effectiveness of various treatment methods.

Published: September 2019

The epidemiology of diabetes mellitus (DM) is a section of diabetology that includes the study of the basic laws of the formation of the epidemiological situation and the epidemiological conditions in relation to this disease, as well as environmental, social and biological factors that determine the dynamics of its main epidemiological characteristics.

The end points of the epidemic process are the prevalence of cases of the disease, their frequency and mortality of patients with diabetes. Each of these characteristics is determined by many factors that can change their importance, priority and even lose it over time.

The epidemiological approach to solving a number of diabetological problems is based on the same principles as the epidemiology of other noncommunicable diseases: cardiovascular, oncological and some others. The main ones: the object of study is the population (population); the study of the disease is carried out in vivo of its development and course; in the researcher’s field of vision, the whole set of factors that can be associated with the fact of the development of the disease.

Published: September 2019

The quantitative determination of the content of radioactive iodine in the urine for the evaluation of the functional state of the thyroid gland was first introduced into clinical practice by J. Hamilton in 1939, and in 1942 he developed a method for determining the content of radioactive iodine directly in the thyroid gland, and in the same year reported experiment on a dog who was injected with a large dose (300 μCi per 1 g of body weight) of radioactive 1311, which caused complete destruction of the thyroid gland with complete replacement of its structure with connective tissue with complete safety araschitovidnyh glands. By 1950, there were already many works devoted to this topic. In the mid-50s, such works began to appear in Russia. Among them, one can note the research of M. N. Fateeva (1953), V. K. Modestov (1958), A. 3. Tsfasman (1961), P. I. Egorov (1961), N M. Draznina (1961) and others, but this problem is most fully reflected in the domestic literature in the writings of prof. V. G. Spesivtseva [1-3].

Dynamic surface tension (ST) of the blood serum and urine was studied in patients with diabetic nephropathy by the method of maximal pressure in a vesicle using MPT2 computer tensiometer (LAUDA, Germany). The angle of the slope of blood tensiogram curve increased and urinary ST decreased at t = 1 sec in patients with type I diabetics in comparison with those with type II condition. The development of the nephrotic syndrome and chronic renal insufficiency was associated with decrease of ST in the range of short (t = 0.01 sec) and medium (t = 1 sec) times of surface life and of the equilibrium (static) ST (at t -> go/. The parameters of interphase tensiometry correlated with the content of protein and lipid surfactants in biological fluids.

APPLICATION OF UAV WITH FISH-EYE LENSES CAMERA FOR 3D SURFACE MODEL RECONSTRUCTION APPLICATION OF UAV WITH FISH-EYE LENSES CAMERA FOR 3D SURFACE MODEL RECONSTRUCTION
Authors: Purwono Nugroho , Syetiawan Agung
Published: September 2019

Application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for images acquisiton has been widely applied in survey and mapping. One of non-metric camera as the sensor that can be mounted on the UAV is fish-eye lenses. Fish-eye lenses camera provides images with wide range coverage. However these images are distorted and make them more difficult to use for mapping or 3D modelling. This research is aimed to make a 3D surface model by images reconstruction and to estimate the geolocation accuracy of the model generated by UAV images processing. As the approach of the method, combines the automation of computer vision technique with the photogrammetric grade accuracy. The complete photogrammetric workflow implemented in Pix4D Mapper. Meanwhile, UAV platform used is DJI Phantom 2 Vision+. Sample location in this research is an area of Geospatial Laboratorium in Parangtritis, Yogyakarta. The covered area in this research is 3.934 Ha. From the results of 186 images obtained 2.47 cm value of average Ground Sampling Distance (GSD). Moreover the numbers of 3D points for Bundle Block Images Adjustment are 243,373 points with 0.4348 value of Mean Reprojection Error (pixels). The results of 3D Densified Points are 6,207,780 and 101.04 points of average density per-m3. Generally, geolocation acuracy of the model produced by using this method is between 2.47 - 4.94 cm. Thus, it can be concluded that UAV with fish-eye lenses camera can be used to reconstruct 3D surface model. However, images correction and calibration should be required to produce an accurate 3D model.
WHY DO SPATIAL DATA AND INFORMATION HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN SPATIAL PLANNING PROCESS? : THE INVESTIGATION OF SPATIAL DATA AND INFORMATION USAGE IN INDONESIAN SPATIAL PLANNING POLICIES
Authors: Yudono Adipandang
Published: September 2019

In spatial planning processes, the different aspects of human interactions involving political circumstances, social, economics, historical and cultural objectives can be understood through maps or spatial visualisations, because those media can illustrate abstract phenomena into visual images. Spatial data has a role to play in spatial governance by providing thematic spatial information and analysis at all authority scales. Furthermore, spatial data and information are prerequisites for any participation in planning deliberation helping to create consensus.This paper investigates the role of spatial data and information in Indonesian spatial planning process using archival research method. The empirical studies take a qualitative approach in analysing the results of data collection from fieldwork observation through collecting legal documents and internal institutional reports. Synchronization and consistency between development plan and spatial plan must be ensured in every interrelated spatial policy, so that the various implementation efforts do not lead to conflict. Furthermore, spatial data and information has a crucial role in translating the development strategies into the implementation of the development programme for the implementation of the government's agenda.
DROUGHT HAZARD CHARACTERISTIC USING SOIL MOISTURE DEFICIT INDEX MODELLING
Authors: Fitria Lulu Mari , Fathurrohmah Septiana
Published: September 2019

Drought happen when the rainfall decreases in the extreme condition for long period of  time (above normal). Drought hazard mapping can be analyzed by various approaches, like environmental approach, ecological approach, hydrological approach, meteorological approach, geological approach, agricultural approach, and many other. Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency (in Indonesia a.k.a BMKG) measures the drought hazard by utilizing Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI)The comparison of rainfall rate through SPI has positive correlation with  drought type, for example SPI 3 indicates agricultural drought; while SPI 6, SPI 9 and SPI 12 indicate  hydrological drought. The analysis of drought hazard level also can be done using soil moisture level measurement. Soil moisture is the result of water shortages in the hydroclimatological concept. Soil moisture analysis utilizes several influenced variables, such as soil water, precipitation, evapotranspiration, and percolation. Each of variables was analyzed using GIS as a method of soil moisture modeling. Drought index level analysis is using soil moisture deficit index, which indicates that drought occurs if the index score less than (-0.5). Some assumptions used in this modeling are both SMDI modeling using WHC (Water Holding Capacity) and  without using WHC. This modeling used medium term analysis during 2007-2012 to prove the occurrence of extreme drought on 2009 and 2012 for measurement of drought level in agriculture area. Based on SMDI, it is known that the dangers of SMDI drought have positive correlation to SPI 3, SPI 6, SPI 9, and SPI 12, where SPI is in accordance with the interpretation of meteorolgy, agriculture, and hydrological drought indices.

The aims of this research were to improve the nutritive value of palm kernel cake by fermentation technology using Bacillus amyloliquefacien, Trichoderma harzianum and cocktail microbes (combination of Bacillus amyloliquefacien and Trichoderma harzianum). Data were analyzed using Completely Randomized Design Factorial, with experiments consisting of types of microbes (B. amyloliquefaciens, T. harzianum, microbial cocktail) as treatment and incubation time (0, 3, 5, and 7 days). Parameters were crude protein and crude fiber for all treatments, and the lowest fiber analysis would continue with NDF, ADF, crude fat, and amino acids. Result showed that the three of microbes grew on palm kernel meal in third incubation and grew on and in the substrate at 7 days. microbial cocktails increased protein and reduced crude fiber better than B. amyloliquefacien and T. harzianum on palm kernel cake fermentation technology. Cocktail microbes enhanced amino acids such as methionine, arginine, and glutamic acid, also neutral detergent fiber but reduced ADF and hemicellulose. It was concluded that the palm kernel cake fermented with microbial cocktails can reduced crude fiber and increase crude protein with an incubation period of 7 days.

Evaluation of resilience engineering using super decisions software
Authors: Shirali Gholam Abbas , Nematpour Leila
Published: September 2019

Background: Resilience engineering (RE) is a new approach to upgrade safety management systems. Due to its novelty in the field of safety, RE seems to be promising in providing good
indicators to assess priorities in organizational strengths/weaknesses while planning to promote
safety within organizations. Several methods have been recently developed to evaluate RE
performance. The current study is an attempt to quantify and determine the priorities of RE
dimensions in a steel industry using analysis network process (ANP).
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 489 male workers of a steel industry participated. For
this purpose, the RE questionnaire was distributed among workers and, then, super decisions
software (version 3.2) was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results indicated that there was a sufficient level of RE in the organization where
top management commitment with normalized weight 0.1781 and awareness-opacity with
normalized weight 0.1483 were ranked as the first and last priorities of the organization,
respectively.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the top management system, with the adoption
of safety policies, has been able to improve the performance of RE in the organization. Managers
should consider appropriate measures to improve the RE situation.
Suicide ideation, planning, and attempts: the case of the Latinx LGB youth
Authors: Boyas Javier F. , Villarreal-Otálora Tatiana , Alvarez-Hernandez Luis R. , Fatehi Mariam
Published: September 2019

Background: Guided by an ecological systems theory (EST) framework, the purpose of the present study was to investigate how multiple micro, mezzo, and macro factors influence the suicidality continuum from suicidal ideation to suicide attempt among Latinx LGB (lesbian, gay, and bisexual) youth living in the United States. Methods: Data for this cross sectional-study included 451 participants who self-identified as Latinx LGB on the 2017-National Youth Risk Behavioral Survey. The analysis explored micro, mezzo, and macro-level factors’ association with three suicidality outcomes (ideation, planning, and attempt) at the bivariate and multivariate level. Since the outcome variables were dichotomized, univariate logistic regressions and backward elimination logistic regressions were used. Results: The most commonly reported suicidal behavior was ideation (n = 173; 40%), followed by planning (n = 150; 34%), and then attempt (n = 64; 21%). Findings from the backward elimination logistic regression on suicidal ideation suggest the best set of independent variables are being bullied at school (odds ratio [OR] = 2.81; CI: 1.61–4.89), experiencing sexual assault (OR = 2.32; CI: 1.32–4.07), experiencing depressive symptoms (OR = 1.99; CI: 1.07– 3.69), being cannabis use (OR = 1.76; CI: 1.08–2.89), and being female (OR = 1.72; CI: 1.01–2.93). For suicide planning the model suggested, experiencing depressive symptoms (OR = 3.21; CI: 1.74–5.91), cannabis use (OR = 2.46; CI: 1.49–4.07), being bullied at school (OR = 2.04; CI: 1.17–3.58), and experiencing sexual assault (OR = 1.88; CI: 1.07–3.31) exhibited the strongest relationships. Suicide attempt was significantly associated with cannabis use (OR = 3.12; CI: 1.60–6.08), experiencing depression (OR= 2.89; CI: 1.30–6.43), experiencing sexual assault (OR = 2.77; CI: 1.34–5.71), and being bullied at school (OR = 2.34; CI: 1.12–4.91). Conclusion: Given the findings of this study, it is essential that tailored suicide prevention efforts be established that uniquely address the intersections of race/ethnicity and sexual orientation and how this intersection influences micro, mezzo, and macro factors associated with suicide ideation, planning, and attempt among Latinx LGB adolescents.

Published: September 2019

Background: Despite the growing epidemic of problematic Internet use (PIU), little information is available on PIU and related factors in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 4261 university students among 13 universities throughout the country in 2017. The data collection tool included demographic characteristics, the status of using the Internet, social media, computer games, tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs, suicide ideation and attempt, and unprotected sex. PIU was measured using the 15-item PIU questionnaire. The status of general health was evaluated using the 28-item general health questionnaire (GHQ) questionnaire. The simple and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to measure the crude and adjusted associations between various factors and PIU. Results: Of 4261 university students, 55.9% were female, 13.5% were smokers, 4.9% were drug abusers, 7.9% were alcohol abusers, 7.8% had unprotected sex in the past year, 7.4% had suicidal ideation in the past month, 1.7% had attempted suicide in the past year, and 27.3% suffered from PIU. Only 61.1% had normal health. In contrast, 30.9%, 7.2%, and 0.8% had mild, moderate, and severe general health problems, respectively. There were significant relationships between PIU and age group 20-24 vs. <20 years (odds ratio [OR] = 1.39; 95% CI: 1.06, 1.82), single vs, married (OR = 2.57; 95% CI: 1.85, 3.57), suicidal attempt (OR = 2.77; 95% CI: 1.47, 5.19), using online games (OR = 1.31; 95% CI: 1.07, 1.60), and poor general health (OR = 12.14; 95% CI: 4.53, 32.54). Conclusion: Nearly one-third of medical sciences students suffered from PIU. This unhealthy behavior was associated with poor general health and elevated risk of suicidal behaviors. This health-threatening behavior provides an early warning signal that deserves special attention, otherwise, it may threaten both college students’ health and function.

Published: September 2019

Background: The current study aimed at determining the pattern of drug dependence and its
related factors in mid-term residential treatment centers (MTRCs).
Methods: The current cross-sectional study was conducted on all drug dependent people
residing in MTRCs of Tehran, Iran, who were voluntarily seeking treatment from April to August,
2018. Required data were collected through face-to-face interviews. Drug dependence was
categorized into four groups: soft opioids, hard opioids, methamphetamine, and combination
of hard opioids and methamphetamine. The association of potential risk factors with drug
dependence was measured using chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression.
Results: Out of 1868 participants in the current study, 97% were male. Mean age (SD) of the
participants was 38.1 (9.9). The different types of drug dependence were hard opioids (43.0%),
soft opioids (29.5%), methamphetamine (15.4%), and a combination of hard opioids and
methamphetamine (12.1%). The prevalence of injecting drug use was 2.7%. In comparison with
the reference group (soft opioids), being un-married and unemployment, significantly increased
the risk of using the three groups of drugs (odds ratios [ORs]: 1.5-3.34, P values: <0.001-0.033).
Age ≥30 years at the initiation of drug use, and using current drug for more than 10 years,
significantly increased the risk of using hard opioids and a combination of hard opioids and
methamphetamine (ORs: 1.65-2.31, P values: <0.001-0.030). Age ≥50 years significantly
decreased the risk of using the three groups of drugs (ORs: 0.21-0.43, P ≤ 0.001).
Conclusion: Different pattern of drug dependence found in MTRCs, they were mostly hard
opioid users, lower injecting drug use and higher mean of age.
