The Novel Numerical Solutions for Conformable Fractional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky Equations by Using Cq-HATM and CHPETM
Authors: Anaç Halil , Avit Özkan
Published: October 2022

In this article, the novel numerical solutions for nonlinear conformable
fractional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky are investigated by using two novel
methods, called conformable q-homotopy analysis transform method
(Cq-HATM) and conformable homotopy perturbation Elzaki transform method
(CHPETM). The proposed method is the combination of q-homotopy analysis
transform method and conformable derivative. The numerical simulations
have been conducted in order to verify the proposed methods are
effective and reliable. The comparison between the obtained solutions
with the exact solutions demonstrates that, both the novel techniques
are simple, power and effective to solve nonlinear conformable
fractional problems.
Dissecting sources of variability in patient response to targeted therapy: anti-HER2 therapies as a case study
Authors: Qi Timothy , Cao Yanguang
Published: October 2022

Background and Purpose: Despite their use to treat cancers with specific
genetic aberrations, targeted therapies elicit heterogeneous responses.
Sources of variability are critical to targeted therapy drug
development, yet there exists no method to discern their relative
contribution to response heterogeneity. Experimental Approach: We use
HER2-amplified breast cancer and two agents, neratinib and lapatinib, to
develop a platform for dissecting sources of variability in patient
response. The platform comprises four components: pharmacokinetics,
tumor burden and growth kinetics, clonal composition, and sensitivity to
treatment. Pharmacokinetics are simulated using population models to
capture variable systemic exposure. Tumor burden and growth kinetics are
derived from clinical data comprising over 800,000 women. The fraction
of sensitive and resistant tumor cells is informed by HER2
immunohistochemistry. Growth rate-corrected drug potency is used to
predict response. We integrate these factors and simulate clinical
outcomes for virtual patients. The relative contribution of these
factors to response heterogeneity are compared. Key Results: The
platform was verified with clinical data, including response rate and
progression-free survival (PFS). For both neratinib and lapatinib, the
growth rate of resistant clones influenced PFS to a higher degree than
systemic drug exposure. Variability in exposure at labeled doses did not
significantly influence response. Drug potency strongly influenced
responses to neratinib. Variability in patient HER2 immunohistochemistry
scores influenced responses to lapatinib. Exploratory twice daily dosing
improved PFS for neratinib but not lapatinib. Conclusion and
Implications: The platform can dissect sources of variability in
response to target therapy, which may facilitate decision-making during
drug development.

Published: October 2022

In order to evaluate the thrombolytic effect of Recombinant
staphylokinase for injection (r-SaK) in acute ischemic cerebral
infarction, an intracranial large vessel occlusion animal model was
generated by pushing an autologous thrombus to the internal carotid
artery under X-ray angiography. Autologous thrombi/saline were injected
into the internal carotid artery, and thrombolytic agents were then
administrated. Thrombus formation and dissolution were monitored by
real-time digital subtraction angiography (DSA), blood coagulation and
histopathologic examinations were used as subsidiary methods. The
results in the present study showed that the left cerebral vascular
thrombotic occlusion model was established stably after the autologous
thrombus pushed through the internal carotid artery in dogs.
Administration of r-SaK (0.25, 0.5, 1.0 mg/kg) produced effective
thrombus dissolution with a recovery of over 80% blood flow, as
effective as alteplase (1.68 mg/kg). Correspondingly, blood coagulation
was changed by r-SaK, with a dramatic elongation of prothrombin time
(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and thrombin time
(TT) and reduction of fibrinogen (FIB). In contrast to the model group,
pathological improvement in the two thrombolytic groups were mainly
manifested in the improvement of the structural integrity of the gray
matter, and the reduction of the infiltration of inflammatory cells and
neuronal damage in the intracranial blood vessels. Besides, no adverse
reactions related to bleeding in this model were found. The results
indicate that intravenous infusion of r-SaK has a significant
thrombolytic effect on intracranial large vessel occlusion model, and
can prevents brain tissue and neuron damage induced by thromboembolism.

Objective: based on the production of cytokines, to identify the immunological features of the chronic course of cytomegalovirus infection in children of the first year of life against the background of hypoxic-ischemic CNS damage.

Research methods:108 newborns with cytomegalovirus infection occurring against the background of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central unequal system were examined. All observed patients immediately after the diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection underwent an immunological examination, including the determination of the levels of interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), the level of interleukins — 2 and 4 (IL -2 and IL-4) necrosis factor human alpha tumors (TNF-α in blood serum was determined by enzyme immunoassay using a set of reagents ProCon IF2 plus, ProCon Ifgamma, ProCon TNFα (Protein contour LLC, Russia, St. Petersburg). At 1 and 6 months of life .

The observation groups consisted of 78 children (72.2%) with an acute course of the disease (Group 1) and 30 children (27.3%) with a chronic course (Group 2). The control group consisted of 15 newborns without herpes virus infection.

Results. Of the totality of the studied cytokines, statistically significant for the chronic course of cytomegalovirus infection in children of the first year of life against the background of hypoxic-ischemic CNS damage were found: IL-2, IFN-γ. It was found that in children with a persistent low level of IFN-γ and an increased level of IL-4 in the blood serum at the age of 6 months, there was a chronic course of cytomegalovirus infection against the background of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic CNS damage.

A decrease in IFN-γ production indicates a congenital or acquired deficiency of the interferon system and can be considered as an indication for long-term interferon replacement therapy.

Published: October 2022

Dense monolithic silicon carbide (SiC) was successfully sintered by hot pressing at 1750?C for 1 h under an applied pressure of 20 MPa with the addition of a nitrate-based additive. With the addition of MgO-Y2O3 and Al2O3-Y2O3 in nitrate form, a relative density of more than 98% was achieved, while in the oxide form it was 85.0 and 96.0%, respectively. In fact, MgO-Y2O3 showed poor densification due to the eutectic temperature of 2110?C, however, the addition of the nitrate form of MgO-Y2O3 greatly enhanced the densification. The sintering mechanism in the nitrate-based additive is liquid phase sintering, identified by the presence of an oxide phase, i.e., Y2O3 in the SiC with the addition of Al2O3-Y2O3 in nitrate form. Moreover, the addition of nitrate form suppressed the grain growth of SiC, which was believed to be due to the adequate rearrangement stage during sintering.

Authors: Subhi A.D. , Abdulkareem M.H. , Hussein H.A.
Published: October 2022

In this work, functionally graded AZ91/WC nanocomposites were prepared by a novel multi-step chamber diameter reduction method. The WC nanoparticles were packed into chambers with graded diameters and processed by friction stirring using a tool with four-sided grooved probe. The functionally graded nanocomposites were fabricated at different tool rotational speeds (830, 960 and 1160 rpm) at a constant traverse speed and plunge depth of 40 mm/min and 0.1 mm, respectively. The properties of the functionally graded samples and AZ91 Mg alloy were evaluated by optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and other tests such as hardness, pin on disc wear and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The results showed that ?-Mg and graded distribution of WC nanoparticles improved as the tool rotational speed increased. The hardness increased slightly with increasing the rotational speed of the tool. The results also revealed that the wear rate was decreased and corrosion resistance was improved by adding WC nanoparticles. Abrasive wear mode was the main mode of material removal during dry sliding, while cracks and pits were the main features of the corroded surface.

Published: October 2022

Based on the model by Bejan et al., natural convection heat transfer, from three attached horizontal isothermal cylinders immersed in quiescent air in an inverted triangular array, has been numerically investigated over 10 ? Ra ? 106. The representative results made up of streamlines and isothermal contours, local and average Nusselt number have been showed. It can be seen there exist several vortexes in the wake region of the downstream cylinders because of the strong interaction of two merging plumes. Additionally, with the effect of the vortex and the preheating among three attached cylinders, the average heat transfer rate for the whole configuration has been reduced by about 38.7~58.5% compared with single cylinder. Finally, average Nusselt number for this configuration has been correlated with Rayleigh number, which provides a valid prediction for engineering calculation including this kind of fundamental configuration

Published: October 2022

The pulverized coal-fired furnaces are expected to use co-firing with biomass for environmental reasons. Although the non-uniform ash deposits are formed on the furnace walls, the uniform deposits could be used for the analysis of the furnace operation. The objective of this investigation was determination of the uniform deposit thickness, used as a criterion for prediction of the sootblower activation moment in coal-biomass co-firing. The investigation comprised numerical simulations for uniform and non-uniform deposits to find the relative differences for the selected variables that were important for the sootblower activation: the mean wall fluxes and flame temperatures. The local thicknesses of the non-uniform deposits were determined by the gamma distribution for several mean and standard deviation values using the inversion method. The thicknesses of the uniform deposits were considered among the measures of central tendency: mode, mean, and median, of the non-uniform deposits. The mean was expected to provide the smallest relative differences, while the mode was excluded from further consideration after analysis of its values. The median was found to be better choice than the mean, as it provided smaller relative differences of the selected variables for the thick deposits, which were important for the sootblower activation. The method based on comparison of the uniform deposits for coal firing and those for the co-firing with biomass was proposed for the prediction of the sootblower activation moment. The method can be used for the selection of the operational regimes for coal-biomass co-firing.

Vitamin D plays a major role in Calcium and Phosphate homeostasis and bone formation. Vitamin D deficiency can be a serious occurrence among healthy individuals, especially Medical Community, but Limited numbers of studies were found to know the vitamin D level in the medical community. As many clinicians and even nutritionists have not focused their attention on Vitamin D status may be due to it is assumed that exposure to sunlight > 15 minutes is sufficient to maintain an adequate level of vitamin D in the blood. Thus vitamin D deficiency can be a serious occurrence among healthy individuals, especially Medical Community. The present study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the prevalence Of Vitamin D deficiency among medical personnel in the medical college of western India. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 509 medical professionals of a medical college of western India irrespective of age, gender, college department, and medical conditions using a universal sample after ethical clearance from institutional IEC. Vitamin D level assessment was done by solid-phase enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) based on the principle of competitive binding. Data entry and statistical analysis were done by Epi Info software. A total of 509 medical professionals participated in the study. Vitamin D Level was deficient in 45.97%, insufficient in 32.42%, and sufficient in 21.61%. Statistically, a significant association was found with less than an hour of sunlight exposure and Conclusions: Mean level of Vitamin D is 21.95 ng/ml which suggest insufficient level or near deficit level of vitamin D in the medical professional.

Elective surgery is one of the main treatment modalities in modern medicine. Approximately 5% of the population undergo elective surgery each year. Traditional preoperative management calls for patients being fasted from midnight of the evening prior to surgery in order to decrease the risk of aspiration. For many years, this practice has been enforced, but over the past decades the scientific basis for fasting has been challenged. Perioperative fasting and surgical trauma contribute to increased postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay.
Preoperative oral carbohydrate loading recommended by the European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA), Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) guidelines has been shown to reduce the development of insulin resistance by approximately 50% on the day after surgery. Moreover, it significantly reduces perioperative discomfort such as hunger, thirst, tiredness, weakness, and inability to concentrate.
This clinical trial aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of a food for special medical purposes (FSMP) versus standard dietary management (fasting) in patients scheduled for elective surgery.
The study was designed as a randomized, controlled, open-label, single centre clinical trial with an intervention (n=25) and a control group (n=25). Patients ages 18 years and older who were scheduled for elective surgery and required to fast the night and morning prior to surgery were enrolled into the study.
The primary endpoint was thirst assessed during the morning of surgery. Secondary endpoints were assessed hunger, assessed feeling of agitation, feeling of fatigue, assessed feeling of weakness, and overall well-being.
There was no significant difference (p=0.052) detected between the two groups when assessing thirst during the morning of surgery.
There were significant differences between the two populations regarding hunger (p<0.001), feelings of agitation (p=0.012), feelings of fatigue (p<0.001) and overall well-being both before (p=0.001) and after surgery (p<0.001). No significant difference (p=0.398) was detected between the two populations regarding feelings of weakness.
In our view, the use of the formula improves the well-being of patients. Our hypothesis is that the consumption of food for special medical purposes in the form of a transparent liquid containing only carbohydrates, instead of fasting before surgery, improves the well-being of patients. Our results suggest that MediDrink OpLoad can be an effective alternative to the standard dietary care of patients undergoing major surgery, and it can positively affect patient well-being.

Parametricism: Order or Chaos?
Authors: Sharma Ritika
Published: October 2022

Parametricism is defined as a groundbreaking discovery in today’s digital world. It claims to be the single style for avant-garde architecture, spreading its domains into architecture, planning, and allied design genres such as product design. While parametric architecture looks aesthetically dynamic, it doesn’t follow straight-line geometries which are deemed so important by architects such as Le Corbusier. As Corbusier very clearly says in his book The City of Tomorrow, it is the man who follows the straight path, while it is the donkey who meanders; his idea of “order” clearly suggests linear arrangements to the fractal level. Parametricism, on the other hand, lays it down as one of its ground rules that it abstains itself from the usage of linear geometry. It disregards linearity as rigid and considers it its sincere responsibility to break through it. With such strong emotions against Corbusier’s idea of “order”, how, then, does Parametricism justify order within itself? Or is there no inherent order which is followed by this new style that considers itself the next big movement in architecture after modernism? The route to finding an answer to this question lies in the Theory of Chaos. One of the things that the theory says is that chaos doesn’t mean a lack of order; apparent randomness, generated as a result of mathematical expressions with various parameters, only seems random because it has an inherent order which is too complex to be comprehended by the human mind at a single glance. Hence, cases were taken up and studies were done accordingly, leading to the finding that every aspect of parametric design derives its form by virtue of some running parameters, which are fed into computational software, thus generating the form which then falls under the parametric style of architecture; and that no aspect governing the design is arbitrary. Hence, it is proved that parametricism does have a sense of inherent order as is existent in chaos, which, though radically complex and principally contrary to the idea of order that Corbusier had, still holds valid on the grounds of the Theory of Chaos.
Peculiarity of Pomors of Onega Peninsula and Winter Coast in the genetic context of Northern Europe

Published: October 2022

The peculiarity of the Russian North gene pool has long become scientific fact, but has yet to receive informative explanation. Genetic drift cannot be the only contributing factor in the striking genetic differences between not only northern Russian populations and the southern ones, but among individual northern populations as well. Studying Russian North gene pools previously underrepresented in scientific literature may help understand this phenomenon. The work aimed to perform a subtotal study of the gene pool of the Arkhangelsk Oblast Pomors (Onega Coast, Summer Coast, the western fragment of the Winter Coast; n = 130) using a panel of 60 Y-chromosome SNP markers through multidimensional scaling and mapping of genetic distances. The frequencies of 14 identified haplogroups differ drastically in Pomor populations: haplogroups I1, R1a, and N3 each comprise a quarter of the total Pomor gene pool, I2-P37.2, and R1b each comprise about 8%, and the rest of the haplogroups are rare. The Onega Coast Pomors showed genetic similarity to a wide range of North-Eastern Europe Finnic-speaking populations, as well as to Russian populations with a strong pre-Slavic substratum. The Summer Coast Pomors are close to the Scandinavian gene pools, and the Winter Coast Pomors are similar only to specific Finn and Swede populations. None of the Pomor populations demonstrate genetic similarity with the Novgorod Oblast Russian populations, with which the origin of the Pomors is traditionally associated. The genetic distances between Pomor populations are so great, they are comparable to the general range of variability between the Eastern Slavic, Baltic, and Finno-Ugric peoples of the region. The reasons for such pronounced originality of Pomor populations presumably include, along with genetic drift, the gene pool of each population being underlied by a different pre-Slavic substrate, with later gene flows as an additional factor.
