A Proof Of The Riemann Hypothesis Based On A New Expression Of The Completed Zeta Function
Authors: Zhang Weicun
Published: October 2023

The celebrated Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is proved based on a new absolute convergent expression of $\xi(s)$, which was obtained from the Hadamard product, through paring $\rho_i$ and $\bar{\rho}_i$, and putting all the multiple zeros together in one factor, i.e. $$\xi(s)=\xi(0)\prod_{\rho}(1-\frac{s}{\rho})=\xi(0)\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\Big{(}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}+\frac{(s-\alpha_i)^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{)}^{d_{i}}$$ where $\xi(0)=\frac{1}{2}$, $\rho_i=\alpha_i+j\beta_i$ and $\bar{\rho}_i=\alpha_i-j\beta_i$ are the complex conjugate zeros of $\xi(s)$, $0<\alpha_i<1$ and $\beta_i\neq 0$ are real numbers, $d_i\geq 1$ is the real (\textbf{unique and unchangeable}) multiplicity of $\rho_i$, $\beta_i$ are arranged in order of increasing $|\beta_i|$, i.e., $|\beta_1|\leq|\beta_2|\leq|\beta_3|\leq \cdots$, $i =1,2,3, \cdots, \infty$.\\ Then, according to the functional equation $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$, we have $$\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\Big{(}1+\frac{(s-\alpha_i)^2}{\beta_i^2}\Big{)}^{d_{i}}=\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\Big{(}1+\frac{(1-s-\alpha_i)^2}{\beta_i^2}\Big{)}^{d_{i}}$$ which, owing to the uniqueness and unchangeableness of $d_i$ (see Lemma 3 for the proof details), is finally equivalent to $$\begin{cases}&\alpha_i=\frac{1}{2}\\ & |\beta_1|<|\beta_2|<|\beta_3|<\cdots\\&i =1,2,3, \cdots, \infty \end{cases}$$ Thus, we conclude that the RH is true.
Validity of a mobile application to diagnose temporomandibular disorders
Authors: Hong Yoo Ree , Hwangbo Na-Kyung , Kim Alec Hyung , Kim Seong-Taek
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a mobile application by comparing its diagnoses to those of Orofacial Pain and Oral Medicine specialists and further imaging results (TMJ CBCT and MRI) in 500 patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). The research focused on three diagnostic categories: initial specialist diagnoses, final diagnoses after imaging, and the mobile app's diagnoses. The concordance rate, sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of the diagnoses were examined, with further imaging serving as the gold standard. The mobile app demonstrated a high concordance rate compared to both final (0.93) and initial specialist diagnoses (0.86). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values also indicated strong reliability, affirming the app's diagnostic validity. Although the concordance rate was slightly lower when comparing the app's diagnoses to imaging results (CBCT and MRI), specialist diagnoses yielded similar results. The study suggests that user-friendly diagnostic mobile applications, based on the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, could enhance the clinical management of TMD. Given the reliability of mobile applications for diagnostic purposes, their wider implementation could facilitate the provision of appropriate and timely treatments for patients with TMD.
Exploring Convexity and its Uniqueness
Authors: Diedrich Eduardo
Published: October 2023

This article explores the relationship between convex functions defined on integers ($\mathbb{Z}$) and their extension to real numbers ($\mathbb{R}$). We introduce key definitions and investigate the hypothesis that there exists a unique convex curve within this family of functions, leading to a proof by contradiction. Our findings highlight the preservation of convexity as functions transition from integers to real numbers.
Can Land Use Land Cover Change Explain the Reduced Resilience in Forests?
Authors: Alibakhshi Sara , Azadi Hossein , Espinosa-Leal Leonardo
Published: October 2023

Detecting abrupt transitions in ecosystems, known as regime shifts, holds immense implications for conservation and management endeavors. This research aims to investigate the feasibility of developing an early warning system capable of identifying an upcoming critical transition within Mangrove Forest ecosystems. Employing a fusion of remote sensing analysis, time series analysis, and the critical slowing down theory, Mangrove Forests' state change was explored across two distinct study sites. One site has been adversely affected by disturbances stemming from land use and land cover changes, while the other serves as an unaffected reference ecosystem. The study uses data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite, quantifying three remotely sensed indices: the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), and the Modified Vegetation Water Ratio (MVWR). Furthermore, temporal alterations in land-use and land cover are scrutinized using Landsat data from 1996, 2002, 2008, and 2014. To identify early warning signals of critical transitions, indicators such as autocorrelation, skewness, and standard deviation are applied. The results show the robust capabilities of remote sensing in generating early warning signals of critical transition in Mangrove Forests. NDVI outperformed MVWR and MNDWI as ecosystem state indicators. This study not only highlights the potential of remote in identifying the approaching regime shifts in Mangrove Forest ecosystems but also adds knowledge on ecosystem dynamics. This is the first report of the successful application of remote sensing in generating early warning signals for imminent critical transitions within Mangrove forests in the Middle East.
Fast Converging Gauss-Seidel Iterative Algorithm for Massive MIMO Systems
Authors: Shen Dong , Chen Li , Li Qiang , Liang Hao
Published: October 2023

For massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, the minimum mean square error (MMSE) scheme provides close to optimal recognition but involves inverting the high-dimensional matrix. A Gauss-Seidel (GS) detector based on conjugate gradient and Jacobi iteration (CJ) joint processing is introduced to address this problem. Firstly, the signal is initialized with the best of the three initialization regimes for faster algorithm convergence. Secondly, the signal is processed together with CJ. Finally, the pre-processed result is transferred to the GS detector. The simulation results indicate that the proposed iterative algorithm has a lower BER performance than the GS and improved iterative scheme based on GS in channels with different correlation levels.

The antimicrobial properties of the new strains of microorganisms isolated from natural sources of various ecological niches in the Moscow Region and the Republic of Tatarstan were studied. An antifungal activity of isolates was established in a test culture of toxin-producing microscopic fungi that cause various plant diseases: Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium spp. and Candida albicans. Of the 46 studied microorganisms, 4 isolates (Bacillus subtilis, Propionibacterium freudenreichii, Lactobacillus plantarum and Streptomyces spp.) showed an ability to produce biologically active metabolites with a pronounced antimicrobial potential. This is promising in the growth and protection of the Scots pine, pedunculate oak and small-leaved linden forest crops from diseases caused by fungi Lophodermium pinastri Chev. and Microsphaera alphitoides stimulation. Based on selected isolates, a Bacterial product LRV composition has been developed. A Scots pine, pedunculate oak and small-leaved linden seedlings single and double foliar treatment with Bacterial product LRV at a concentration of 10 ml/l led to an increase in the growth of an above-ground part by 31.8, 51.9 and 25.4 %, respectively, and an underground part – by 25.0, 37.2 and 25.7 %, respectively, compared with the control. The weight of seedling at the end of the study exceeded the control variant by an average of 26.0, 44.0 and 78.0 %, respectively. A use of a plant protection Bacterial product LRV did not have a significant effect on a powdery mildew and Schütte disease damage to forest crops. A Biogeosystem Technique methodology has been developed to improve a long-term forest growing.

Published: October 2023

Functional neurological disorders (FND) are relatively frequent disabling conditions. Given their complexity, multidisciplinary rehabilitation is envisaged. Whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) represents a promising adjuvant treatment, mainly because of its anti-inflammatory and exercise-mimicking effects. Here, we propose a novel use of WBC in a wheelchair-ridden 61-year-old woman diagnosed with FND and other comorbidities, who, after several therapeutic and rehabilitation failures, underwent a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program including WBC. The 4-week program included physiotherapy, nutritional intervention, psychological support, and WBC. Questionnaires to assess disease impact, pain level, perceived fatigue and sleep quality were administered. At discharge, improvements in body composition, haematological biomarkers, physical performance, and questionnaire scores were observed. The patient was able to walk with a walker for medium distances, even outdoors. We observed unprecedented improvements, particularly in functional parameters and questionnaire scores. Although we cannot ascertain to which extent WBC per se contributed to the improvements measured, subjective reporting and our clinical observation were that WBC, the only intervention not previously experienced by the patient, acted as a booster for the rehabilitation interventions. Further research will be necessary to rule out any possible placebo effect and to assess the effects of WBC on FND.
Tribological Investigation of the Effect of Nanosized CuO and TiO2 on a Base Oil Containing Komad 323 Dispersant
Authors: Szabó Ádám István , Marsicki Márk , Hargitai Hajnalka
Published: October 2023

In this article, copper(II) oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles were added to Group III base oil formulated with 8 wt% Komad 323 dispersant. The nanoparticles were treated with ethyl oleate surface modification. The tribological properties of the homogenized oil samples were tested on a linear oscillating tribometer with continuous monitoring of static friction. Friction absolute integral values were calculated from high data acquisition. The wear was evaluated using a digital optical and confocal microscope. The wear types were characterized with scanning electron microscopy, while the remaining additives were located and quantified with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The measurement results show that the CuO nanoparticles did not work well with the Komad 323 dispersant. As a result of their antagonistic effect, in the case of low CuO concentrations (≤0.3 wt%), the friction increased, while in the case of high concentrations (≥0.4%), surface fatigue caused a high wear rate. The cooperation between TiO2 and the dispersant showed synergistic effects. The oxygen-rich boundary layer formed on the worn surface with a titanium content of 0.33-0.39 norm.wt% provides both lower friction and high wear resistance.

Background: Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a marker of vascular damage and the precursor of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, which involve inflammation and organ damage. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by eNOS, which is induced by pAKT, plays a crucial role in the function of a healthy endothelium. Methods: A combination of the subfractions SF1 and SF3 (C4) of the aqueous fraction from Cucumis sativus (Cs-Aq) was evaluated to control endothelial dysfunction in vivo, and on HMEC-1 cells to assess the involvement of pAkt in vitro. C57BL/6J mice were daily injected with Ang-II for 10 weeks. Once hypertension was established, Cs-AqC4 or losartan were orally administered along with Ang-II for another 10 weeks. Blood pressure (BP) was measured at weeks 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20. Serum creatinine was quantified; the inflammatory status was evaluated in kidney, and tissue damage and vascular remodeling were studied in liver and aorta. Cs-AqC4 was also evaluated in vitro on HMEC-1 cells stimulated by angiotensin II (Ang-II) to assess the involvement of Akt phosphorylation. Results: Cs-AqC4 decreased systolic and diastolic BP, reversed vascular remodeling, decreased IL-1β and TGF-β and increased IL-10 and decreased kidney and liver damage. In HMEC-1 cells, AKT phosphorylation and NO production were increased. Conclusions: Cs-AqC4 controlled inflammation and vascular remodeling, resulting in BP regulation; it also improved tissue damage associated with ED, probably via Akt activation.

La reconstrucción del patrimonio judeoconverso. La familia, la casa solariega y la capilla catedralicia de los Muñoz de Velasco en Córdoba
Authors: Herreros Moya Gonzalo Jesús
Published: October 2023

Durante la Edad Moderna muchas familias conversas consiguieron insertarse en las filas de la nobleza, a pesar de su origen judío, en muchas ciudades de nuestra geografía, y para el caso de Córdoba se han ido estudiando algunas de ellas en los últimos años. La familia cordobesa Muñoz de Velasco, hasta ahora en gran modo desconocida, ejemplifica a la perfección el proceso de ocultación de su sangre hebrea y el ascenso económico y social desde el siglo XVI hasta finales del Antiguo Régimen. Además, durante diferentes generaciones dejaron interesantes rastros patrimoniales que nos permiten comprobar su creciente estatus, su emulación nobiliaria, así como añadir una pieza más al importante patrimonio y legado judeoconverso de la geografía andaluza. Este estudio se ha servido de numerosas fuentes archivísticas, tanto de procedencia inquisitorial, como notarial o sacramental, principalmente del Archivo Histórico Nacional, del Archivo Histórico Provincial de Córdoba, del Archivo Histórico Municipal de Córdoba y de diferentes archivos parroquiales de la misma ciudad, siguiendo también los trabajos precedentes de los autores que han estudiado esta cuestión. Con esta aportación pretendemos pues demostrar la necesidad de un rastreo sistemático y global de la documentación y el cruce de las fuentes para conseguir sacar a la luz toda la ascendencia judía de numerosas familias de la aristocracia cordobesa, así como aportar conocimiento sobre el rico e interesante patrimonio que han dejado dentro de una ciudad que es Patrimonio de la Humanidad y cuyo valor cultural resulta clave para entender su pasado.

Prestaremos atención a los problemas de la documentación, la participación de las familias, la composición de los matrimonios y su distribución por la ciudad; finalmente,  ofreceremos el estudio de un caso concreto. No obstante, esto no es más que un primer paso en un trabajo que requiere mucha mayor profundidad; lo que presentamos aquí son las líneas de actuación a desarrollar con posterioridad.PALABRAS CLAVE: judeoconversos, mesocracia, redes, matrimonio. ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on the opportunities and the troubles that we find when we research about the notarial documents from the fifteenth century. With this base, we will be able to know that converts from Córdoba’s medium groups built new social networks by marriage. We will pay attention to the troubles we have found with documents, the role performed by families, the composition of the couples and their geographical setting in the city; finally, we will provide the analysis of a particular case. However, this is the first step of a research that requires more work, so what we offer here are the lines we will have to carry out later.KEY WORDS: converts, medium groups, networks, marriage.
Conversos and comuneros The trial of Juan Rodríguez de Baeza, Salamanca, 1520
Authors: Tinsley Teresa
Published: October 2023

Este artículo analiza, desde una perspectiva de historia social, los documentos emanentes de un proceso que tuvo lugar en Salamanca en el verano de 1520, en el que tres estudiantes fueron acusados de haber agredido y herido a otro universitario. Según la defensa, habían estado defendiendo su honor contra abusos, tanto verbales como escritos, que les tachaban de judíos.El proceso tuvo lugar en el contexto de la rebelión comunera en Castilla y participaron en él algunos de los activistas rebeldes. A ser condenados, los estudiantes hicieron recurso a la Santa Junta, el gobierno revolucionario que funcionaba brevemente desde Tordesillas, donde estaba la Reina Juana I. La documentación del proceso alumbra un aspecto poco conocido de la Santa Junta, y su interconexión con personas particulares e instituciones públicas. Por tanto, el proceso debe verse a la luz del contexto más generalizado de lucha por la justicia durante los primeros años del reino de Carlos V.Podemos identificar al acusado principal como el Licenciado Juan Rodríguez de Baeza quien, después de una carrera como juez, fue clérigo beneficiado en Carmona [Sevilla] y en Mengíbar [Jaén], acumulando una riqueza considerable que le permitió dotar la Iglesia de Santiago de Montilla. La investigación archivística confirma que efectivamente tuvo antepasados judíos y que varios miembros de su familia fueron condenados por la Inquisición. Los documentos estudiados arrojan una luz sobre las dificultades enfrentados por los conversos en su intento de deshacerse de la infamia de sus antecedentes familiares.

Generalmente, cuando se realizan estudios sobre la nobleza en la Edad Media o Moderna, se suele obviar el papel que las mujeres ejercieron dentro de las casas nobiliarias en su día a día, ignorando las funciones que ejercían como tutoras y curadoras de los menores, el mecenazgo y patronazgo ejercido sobre las instituciones civiles y eclesiásticas, o las labores de gobierno de sus Estados cuando el titular de la Casa se ausentaba por un periodo de tiempo indeterminado, lo cual compromete la visión histórica que tenemos sobre las casas señoriales, al no tener en cuenta el impacto social, económico, político y jurídico que estas y otras cuestiones influyen en el devenir de la nobleza a lo largo del tiempo.

Published: October 2023

Durante la Edad Moderna asistimos a un proceso de renovación del estamento nobiliario, por el cual nuevos linajes, muchos de ellos de origen converso, se van a incorporar a la nobleza. Este fenómeno de promoción social y ennoblecimiento tiene un claro reflejo en el patrimonio, convertido este en un medio a través del cual expresar el poder, la riqueza y el nuevo estatus social del linaje. En este caso pretendemos estudiar una de estas familias, los Bernuy, un linaje que durante los siglos de la Modernidad experimentará un impresionante ascenso social que les llevará desde el patriciado urbano burgalés hasta la nobleza titulada, atendiendo a como este proceso se ve reflejado en el patrimonio artístico vinculado al linaje. Pretendemos con esto evidenciar la importancia del colectivo judeoconverso en la promoción artística durante la Edad Moderna y la necesidad de su estudio.

The relations between working from home and travel behaviour: a panel analysis
Authors: Faber Roeland Martijn , Hamersma Marije , Brimaire Jil , Kroesen Maarten , Molin Eric J.E.
Published: October 2023

Policies to increase the amount of time people spend working from home were widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since research suggests that the resulting increase in working from home will outlast these policies themselves, policy makers want to know what the expected effects of working from home on travel behaviour will be in a post-pandemic world. To answer this question it is important to understand the relations between working from home and travel behaviour. To improve the understanding of the relations between working from home and travel behaviour we apply longitudinal modelling techniques using panel data from the Netherlands Mobility Panel. This allows us to separate between-persons and within-persons relations and effects. We find a negative effect of working from home on commute travel time both before and during the pandemic and a positive effect on leisure travel time only during the pandemic. The sizes of these effects remained roughly similar during the pandemic, although the extent to which working from home affects commute travel time increased during the pandemic. The net effect of working from home on travel time as a whole is negative, indicating that working from home policies could be used to reduce travel time. The results show that part of the relationships between working from home and travel behaviour has changed during the pandemic. As a result, policy makers and transport operators should be careful when estimating future travel demand based on extrapolations of relationships found only before or during the pandemic.

Ethnic villages are an important part of villages, and also the inheritance of ethnic, cultural and spiritual forms. In a certain sense, the overall landscape characteristics of ethnic villages are the epitome of a national culture and image. In this paper, a landscape visualization scheme based on machine learning is proposed by combining the computing form of machine learning with the current visualization system. And use the principle of logistic regression and the principle of support vector calculation to analyze, select the appropriate data set for trend data analysis. Finally, taking the Hlai ethnic village landscape as the research direction in Hainan, the research is carried out in the fields of landscape science and ecology, and the comprehensive analysis is carried out in combination with the national culture, social, ecological and aesthetic sensibility, and the Hlai ethnic village's own landscape index system is established. The research shows that the visual system research on the Hlai ethnic village landscape can reflect the Hlai ethnic village cultural landscape to a certain extent, and is helpful to the protection and innovation of the Hlai ethnic villages; It is helpful to establish the landscape classification of Hlai ethnic villages and the establishment of future goals; To create their own national cultural landscape for Hlai ethnic villages; At the same time, it helps the sustainable development of Hlai ethnic villages and provides practical methods for the construction of Hlai ethnic villages.
Artificial Intelligence Inspired Design of Non-Isothermal Aging for γ - γ' Two- phase, Ni-Al Alloys

Published: October 2023

In this paper, a state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique is used for a precipitation hardening of Ni-based alloy to predict more flexible non-isothermal aging (NIA) and to examine the possible routes for the enhancement in strength that may be practically achieved. Additionally, AI is used to integrate with Materials Integration by Network Technology, which is a computational workflow utilized to model the microstructure evolution and evaluate the 0.2% proof stress for isothermal aging and NIA. As a result, it is possible to find enhanced 0.2% proof stress for NIA for a fixed time of 10 minutes compared to the isothermal aging benchmark. The entire search space for aging scheduling was ~ 3 billion. Out of 1620 NIA schedules, we succeeded in designing the 110 NIA schedules that outperformed the isothermal aging benchmark. Interestingly, it is found that early-stage high-temperature aging for a shorter time increases the γ' precipitate size up to the critical size and later aging at lower temperature increases the γ' fraction with no anomalous change in γ' size. Therefore, employing this essence from AI, we designed an optimum aging route in which we attained an outperformed 0.2% proof stress to AI-designed NIA routes.
Effectiveness of a nurse-led management intervention on systolic blood pressure among type 2 diabetes patients in Uganda: a cluster randomized trial
Authors: LUMU WILLIAM , Bahendeka Silver , Kibirige Davis , Wesonga Ronald , Mutebi Ronald Kasoma
Published: October 2023

Background
Hypertension (HT) is an orchestrator of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in persons living with type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Control of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and HT as a whole is suboptimal in diabetes partly due to scarcity of doctors. While nurse-led interventions are pragmatic and cost-effective in the control of HT in primary health care, their effectiveness on SBP control among patients with T2D in Uganda is scantly known.
Aim
We evaluated the effectiveness of a nurse-led management intervention on SBP among T2D patients with a high ASCVD risk in Uganda.
Methods
A two-armed cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the nurse-led management intervention with usual doctor-led care. The intervention involved training of nurses to provide structured health education, protocol based HT/CVD management, 24-hour phone calls and 2 monthly text messages for 6 months. The primary outcome was mean change in SBP between baseline and after 6 months. The secondary outcome was change in proportion of patients reaching treatment targets for SBP, total cholesterol (TC), fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides (TG) and body mass index (BMI). The study was analyzed with intention to treat principle. Generalized estimating equations were used to assess for intra-cluster effect modifiers. Statistical significance was set at 0.05 for all analyses.
Results
Eight clinics (n = 388 patients) were included (intervention 4 clinics; n = 192, control 4 clinics; n = 196).A nurse-led intervention reduced SBP by 11.21 ± 16.02mmhg with a mean difference between the groups of -13.75mmHg (95% CI-16.48 to 11.02, P < 0.001).Diastolic blood pressure was reduced by 6.77 ± 9.48mmHg with a mean difference between groups of -7.17mmHg (95%C1 -8.87 to -5.48, p < 0.001). An increase in SBP of 2.53 ± 10.95mmhg was noted in the control group. The proportions of patients reaching target for SBP(95%CI -0.234 to 0.077,p < 0.001),diastolic blood pressure(95% CI-0.359 to 0.137,p < 0.001),LDL(95% -0.075 to 0.007,p < 0.001)and TGs(95% -0.0155 to 0.032,p = 0.002) increased while those of FBS (P = 0.66), HbA1c (P = 0.710) and BMI (P = 0.414) did not change.
Conclusion
A nurse-led management intervention reduces SBP and ASCVD risk among patients with T2D.Such an intervention may be pragmatic in screening and management of HT/ASCVD in Uganda.

Nanoalgosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by microalgal cells that can mediate intercellular and cross-kingdom communication. In the present study, the optimization of high quality nanoalgosome manufacturing from cultures of the marine microalgae Tetraselmis chuii has been enhanced by quality control procedures, applying robust biophysical and biochemical characterizations. Then, we evaluated the biological properties of nanoalgosomes in pre-clinical models. Our investigation of nanoalgosome biocompatibility included toxicological analyses, starting from studies on the invertebrate model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and proceeding to hematological and immunological evaluations in mice and human cells. Nanoalgosome biodistribution was evaluated in mice with accurate space-time resolution, and in C. elegans at cellular and subcellular levels. Further examination highlighted the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivities of nanoalgosomes. This holistic approach to nanoalgosome characterization showcases that nanoalgosomes are innate effectors for novel cosmetic formulations and EV-based therapies.

Hematophagous insects belonging to the Aedes genus are proven vectors of viral and filarial pathogens of medical interest. Aedes albopictus is an increasingly important vector because of its rapid worldwide expansion. In the context of global climate change and the emergence of zoonotic infectious diseases, identification tools with field application are required to strengthen efforts in the entomological survey of arthropods with medical interest. Large scales and proactive entomological surveys of Aedes mosquitoes need skilled technicians and/or costly technical equipment, further puzzled by the vast amount of named species. In this study, we developed an automatic classification system of Aedes species by taking advantage of the species-specific fingerprinting displayed by Wing Interferential Patterns. A database containing 494 photomicrographs of 24 Aedes spp. from which those documented with more than ten pictures have undergone a deep learning methodology to train a convolutional neural network and test its accuracy to classify samples at the genus, subgenus, and species taxonomic levels. We recorded an accuracy of 95% at the genus level and >85% for two (Ochlerotatus and Stegomyia) out of three subgenera tested. Lastly, eight were accurately classified among the 10 Aedes sp. that have undergone a training process with an overall accuracy of>70%. Altogether these results demonstrate the potential of this methodology for Aedes species identification and will represent a tool for the future implementation of large-scale entomological surveys.

This article reports a green process for synthesizing MgO nanoparticles supported by the exfoliated g-C3N4 nanocomposite. Various techniques characterize were employed for the prepared MgO, g-C3N4 and MgO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites. The cubic and hexagonal phase structure was achieved for synthesized MgO NPs and g-C3N4, respectively, with spherical and curled ribbon-like morphology. The specific surface area was obtained as 70.48, 54.22 and 79.11 m2/g, respectively, for MgO, g-C3N4 and MgO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite. Similarly, corresponding optical properties were achieved with an energy gap of 3.42, 2.48, and 2.78 eV. XPS analysis confirms the purity of MgO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite by detecting their characteristic elemental peaks. The bioactivities of MgO, g-C3N4 and MgO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite, including antibacterial, turbidimetric and antioxidant efficacy, were investigated. The antibacterial activity was Gram-positive bacterial strains are more susceptible to treatment than Gram-negative ones due to the increased production of ROS in the MgO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite. Further, MgO, g-C3N4 and MgO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite were employed as catalysts for the degradation of cationic substances (Crystal Violet) and anionic (Eosin Yellow) dye under sunlight irradiation. Their photocatalytic activity towards CV and EY degradation of dyes was highly influenced, and efficiency of 98.9% and 97.33% for MgO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite. Therefore, the increased surface area with the active site and UV-Visible region of MgO/g-C3N4 is more suitable for dye effluent treatment.

Introduction: Expanded human mobility has increasingly led to the spread of disease outside of the areas in which it first occurs. Consequently, there is enhanced focus on building capacity to detect disease at points of entry (PoEs). We assessed capacity and performance in detection, reporting, and responding to public health events of international concern (PHEIC) and public health emergencies at PoEs in Uganda.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional assessment from June 27 to September 12, 2022, at official PoEs in Uganda. We adopted a standardised assessment tool for the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) PoE capacity requirements. Capacity areas included coordination and communication, routine prevention and control measures expected at all times, and response to PHEIC. We abstracted and analysed surveillance data on performance of PoEs including completeness of PoE reporting, proportion of travellers screened and proportion of suspected ill travellers isolated, investigated and referred for further care if necessary.
Results: We assessed all 53 gazetted PoEs (4 airports, 16 inland ports, and 33 ground crossings). Most (94%) reported communication capacities with national and sub-health authorities with 88% completeness of reporting. Forty-two per cent provided access to appropriate medical services for assessment and care of ill travellers, 42% had access to sanitary facilities, 21% had access to safe water, and 23% had appropriate waste management and vector control. Regarding capacity to respond to PHEIC and public health emergencies, all designated PoEs had a public health emergency contingency plan,74% provided screening of all travellers but screened 56% of the travellers, 38% had the capacity to quarantine and isolate suspected human cases, and 15% had the capacity to transport suspected cases to referral health facilities. Twenty three percent of the suspected ill travellers were isolated, investigated and referred for further care if necessary. Only 8% assessed animals being transported through PoEs for priority animal transboundary diseases.
Conclusion: Existing capacity and performance gaps in detection and response to PHEICs and public health emergencies may limit ability to effectively respond to potential public health emergencies. There is a need to establish infrastructure, equipment and personnel for and assessment, isolation and quarantine of humans and animals.

La Paz Bay (LPB) in Mexico is one of the largest marine-coastal bodies of water in the Gulf of California (GC) and is ecologically important for the feeding, reproduction, and refuge of marine species. Although Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) is an important reservoir of oceanic carbon and an indicator of productivity in the euphotic zone, studies in this region are scarce. This study evaluates the performance of satellite-derived POC in LPB from January 2003 to December 2020. Data from POC and Chlorophyll-a (Chla-a) from MODIS-Aqua and sea surface temperature (SST) from MUR were used. Initially, a match-up analysis was applied to compare the satellite products with in situmeasurements obtained from a sediment trap installed in Alfonso Basin, Mexico. Subsequently, spatial and seasonal variability patterns of POC were analyzed using Empirical Orthogonal Functions (EOFs), power spectral density (PSD), geospatial correlations of each pair of variables, the POC:Chla-a ratio, and multivariate techniques. The results of the matchmaking analysis between in situ and satellite series show that the satellite estimates consistently represent the variability and mean values measured in situ. The distribution of POC characterizes two seasons with their respective transition periods and five subregions where POC exhibits its maximum variability. Two of these subregions coincide with the reported locations of winter and summer eddies in BP, while the remaining three correspond to the coastal zone and the two regions where LPB interacts with the GC. Associations, variability nodes, and multiple linear regression analysis suggest that POC fluctuations in LPB are mainly driven by biological processes and, to some extent, by seasonal SST and wind intensity. Finally, based on the concentrations obtained in this study, this area can be considered as a reservoir of POC for the marine and atmospheric regions of northwest Mexico.

Chang 8 section of Yanchang Group in Yuancheng area of Ordos Basin is a typical tight oil reservoir in China, which is characterised by low porosity and low permeability, strong non-homogeneity and high difficulty in evaluating reservoir parameters. In order to clarify the microscopic pore structure characteristics of the Chang 8 section, this study uses cast thin section, scanning electron microscope, combined with the core physical properties test data, to analyse the basic characteristics of the reservoir rock mineralogy, pore permeability and other basic characteristics, and uses the shape of piezo-mercury curves to study the pore structure characteristics of the 17 samples. Based on the fractal dimension of the NMR T2 spectrum, the reservoir is classified into four categories, and a conversion model for the relationship between the NMR T2 spectrum and the capillary pressure curve is established by using the segmented power function method, which is applied to the interpretation of the NMR logging to obtain the continuous pseudo-capillary pressure curve for the whole well section. Three effective parameters reflecting the microscopic pore structure, namely, the expulsion pressure, median pressure, and sorting coefficient of the core samples, were extracted, and the relationship between the reservoir parameters and the reservoir category was established by using the generalised regression neural network. The pseudo-capillary pressure curve reservoir parameters of the whole well section were processed to obtain the classification profile of the reservoir, and the classification results were consistent with the results of the mercury pressure experiment with good results. The study shows that this method can provide an important basis for the study of pore structure of tight oil reservoirs and the evaluation of reservoir classification.
