Cardiac resynchronization therapy is not commonly used in the early postoperative period in patients undergoing cardiac surgery who have left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and a history of heart failure. We performed a prospective randomized clinical trial to compare atrial synchronous right ventricular (DDD RV) and biventricular (DDD BIV) pacing within 72 hours after cardiac surgery in patients with an EF ≤35 %, a QRS interval longer than 120 msec and who had LV dyssynchrony detected by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE). Epicardial pacing was provided by a modified Medtronic INSYNC III pacemaker. An LV epicardial pacing lead was implanted on the latest activated segment of the LV based on RT3DE. The study included 18 patients with ischemic heart disease, with or without valvular heart disease (14 men, 4 women, average age 71 years). Patients undergoing DDD BIV pacing had a statistically significant greater CO and CI (CO 6.7±1.8 l/min, CI 3.4±0.7 l/min/m²) than patients undergoing DDD RV pacing (CO 5.5±1.4 l/min, CI 2.8±0.7 l/min/m²), p<0.001. DDD BIV pacing in the early postoperative period after cardiac surgery corrects LV dyssynchrony and has better hemodynamic results than DDD RV pacing.

Published: March 2020

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of indapamide and its combination with ACE inhibitor (captopril) and antioxidant (ProvinolsTM) on both myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis. Wistar rats were treated with L-NAME (40 mg/kg/day, L); L-NAME plus indapamide (1 mg/kg/day), or captopril (10 mg/kg/day), or ProvinolsTM (40 mg/kg/day), or combination of indapamide with captopril, and indapamide with ProvinolsTM for 7 weeks. Blood pressure (BP), LV hypertrophy and fibrosis were determined. The content of collagens type I and III was evaluated morphometrically after picrosirius red staining. L-NAME treatment led to increased BP, LV hypertrophy, total fibrosis and relative content of collagens without the change in collagen type I/III ratio. Indapamide and captopril decreased BP, LV hypertrophy and the collagen ratio without affecting total fibrosis, while ProvinolsTM reduced BP, the collagen ratio and fibrosis without affecting LV hypertrophy. The combinations decreased all the parameters. Decrease of LV hypertrophy was achieved by drugs with the best reducing effect on BP, fibrosis reduction was reached by the antioxidant treatment with only partial effect on BP. Thus, the combination of antihypertensive and antioxidant treatment may represent a powerful tool in preventing myocardial remodeling induced by hypertension.

gayri-resmi yolları aramaya iten sebep, Bölgeler Komitesi’nin danışma
niteliğinde sınırlı alanda olan görevleri sebebiyle karar mekanizmasına
etkisinin yeterli görülmemesidir. Yani Avrupa Birliği karar mekanizmalarına
katılımın resmi yollardan eksikliklerini gidermek maksadıyla bu yönetimler gayrı-resmi

From meaning to form and back in American Sign Language verbal classifier morphemes
Authors: de Lint Vanja
Published: March 2020

In a seminal paper, Benedicto & Brentari (2004) present a theoretical proposal in which they analyze American Sign Language (ASL) classifier morphemes as instantiations of functional heads F1 and F2 that determine the external or internal position of the argument that lands in their specifier through a structural agreement relation. It has served as a ground for several follow-up studies investigating argument structure in sign language classifier constructions. However, their proposal requires both theoretical amendment and empirical corroboration. In this paper, I critically assess the proposal by Benedicto & Brentari (2004) and provide empirical support for a modified version.

Thrust-fault architecture of glaciotectonic complexes in Denmark
Authors: Schack Pedersen Stig A. , Boldreel Lars Ole
Published: March 2020

Cross sections of glaciotectonic complexes are exposed in coastal cliffs in Denmark, which allow structural studies of the architecture of thin-skinned thrust-fault deformation (Pedersen 2014). However, the basal part of the thrust-fault complex is never exposed, because it is located 50 to 100 m below sea level. It is in the basal part the most important structure – the décollement zone – of the complex is found. The décollement zone constitutes the more or less horizontal surface that separates undeformed bedrock from the displaced thrust-sheet units along the décollement level. One of the most famous exposures of glaciotectonic deformations in Denmark is the Møns Klint Glaciotectonic Complex. The structures above sea level are well documented, whereas the structures below sea level down to the décollement level are poorly known. Modelling of deep structures was carried out by Pedersen (2000) but still needs documentation. A glaciotectonic complex affecting comparable rock units, such as the chalk at Møns Klint, was recently recognised in seismic sections from Jammerbugten in the North Sea (Fig. 1). These sections provide an excellent opportunity for comparable studies of the upper and lower structural levels in thin-skinned thrust-fault deformation, which is discussed in this paper with examples from three major glaciotectonic complexes.
Magma mixing, mingling and hybridisation at different crustal levels: snapshots from 1.9 billion years of magmatism in south-eastern Greenland
Authors: Kokfelt Thomas F. , Weatherley Samuel M. , Keiding Jakob K. , Árting Trygvi B.
Published: March 2020

During field work in 2014, we investigated a suite of igneous intrusions in south-eastern Greenland between 65° and 67°N. Many of the intrusions show widespread evidence for juxtaposition of different magmas in the liquid state and subsequent mixing, mingling and hybridisation. Here we present field evidence for these processes from three areas that differ in age and geological setting. We discuss the significance of mingling, mixing and hybridisation features in the field area, motivated by their abundance in the area, the morphological variation between intrusions that were emplaced at different crustal levels, the implications for magma genesis in collisional and rift settings, and the implications for the interior dynamics of igneous bodies.

This paper proposes a system for encrypting images which is performed by patch wise separable reversible data. In the beginning, with the help of encryption key, a content writer prepares the unique uncompressed image. Then, the data-hider abridge encrypted images with least significant using data smacking key therefore to construct a sparse path that can incorporate with some additional data. The encrypted image data consisting of additional data, will aid the receiver to use only one encryption key to recall both additional data and image after decryption. The proposed system enables the receiver, to bring out the data and retrieving the actual content without an error by using both data-hiding key and encryption keys. The key generated is stored and the log is maintained. Data transmission through public communication system is unsecure due to be inaccuracy and improper exploitation by eavesdropper. The specific problem can be resolved by the technique Steganography, where the hidden messages are written in a way where it is only understood by the sender and intend recipient which gives the complete security for the messages. This proposed method includes Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm for encrypting both the image and the data. In order to achieve efficient working of encryption process, Separable Patch wise Reversible Data Hiding (SPRDH) algorithm is used in rescindable manner. The performance are analyzed using available Classical database images with the metrics Bits per Pixel (BPP). Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE).

Speech recognition is widely used in the computer science to make well-organized communication between humans and computers. This paper addresses the problem of speech recognition for Varhadi, the regional language of the state of Maharashtra in India. Varhadi is widely spoken in Maharashtra state especially in Vidharbh region. Viterbi algorithm is used to recognize unknown words using Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The dataset is developed to train the system consists of 83 isolated Varhadi words. A Mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCCs) is used as feature extraction to perform the acoustical analysis of speech signal. Word model is implemented in speaker independent mode for the proposed varhadi automatic speech recognition system (V-ASR). The training and test dataset consist of isolated words uttered by 8 native speakers of Varhadi language. The V-ASR system has recognized the Varhadi words satisfactorily with 92.77%. recognition performance.

In this analysis results of Elastic-plastic stress distributions in a spherical pressure vessel with ThermoMechanical loads are discussed. Results of study are obtained with Finite element (FE) analysis. A quarter of pressure vessel is considered and modeled with all realistic details. In addition to presenting the stress distribution of the pressure vessel, in this work the effects thermo-Mechanical autofrettage on different limit strength for spherical pressure vessels are investigated. The effect of changing the load and various geometric parameters is investigated. Consequently, it can be observed that to be the significant differences between the present thermo-Mechanical autofrettage and earlier (Mechanical autofrettage and Thermal autofrettage) method of autofrettage for the predictions of Elastic-plastic stress distributions of spherical pressure vessels. Some realistic examples are considered and results are obtained for the whole vessel by applying thermal load and mechanical load. The actual material curve is used for loading, unloading and residual stress behavior of spherical pressure vessel. Kinematic hardening material is considered and effect of Bauschinger effect factors are studied with thermo-mechanical load. Equivalent Von -Mises yield criteria is used for yield criteria. Behavior of elastic-perfectly plastic is also studied and compared. Influence of Thermo-Mechanical autofrettage over stress distribution and load bearing capacity of spherical vessel is examined. The question of whether Thermo-mechanical autofrettage gives more favorable residual compressive stress distribution and therefore extension of pressure vessel life is investigated in this analysis.

Water resources management in arid regions and semi-arid such as Egypt is a continuous process for the achievement of rational use of the scarce water resources for the benefit of the national economy. Water scarcity in Egypt is a major challenge, which is annually increasing due to the high water demand of different sectors, while the share of Egypt from the Nile is fixed at 55.5 billion cubic meter (BCM). Non-conventional water resources, such as drainage water, are essential alternatives to improve the water use efficiency. In Nile Delta, a considerable number of reuse pump stations (RPSs) are distributed along the drains network already decades ago. But farmers are unofficially using small pumps to divert drainage water directly to their fields. The major concern in the reuse of agricultural drainage water is the build-up of salts. This research aims to assess the water balance in El-Behira governorate to reduce the negative impacts of water scarcity on the crop yield, soil deterioration, evapotranspiration. The model was calibrated using the water and agriculture data of the year 2014 which was used as a base year then it was validated using the data of year 2015. Two statistical goodness-of-fit coefficients [Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE) and ratio of the root mean square error to the standard deviation of measured data (RSR)] were used to assess the re-calibration and validation of the model; where the results of the model showed good and very good performance with the observations. In addition; the water allocation of the study area was simulated by the SIWARE Model during the studied two years to assess the current water uses and soil conditions, while the results are visualized using Geographical Information System (GIS) as an essential tool for a decision support system. The simulation results indicated that the study area suffers from water stress that forces the farmers to unofficially reuse the drainage water. Electrical Conductivity (EC) of the unofficially reused water ranged between Medium and high hazard salinities that gives restrictions on the crop pattern, causes hygienic risks, and increases the pollution in the shallow aquifer.

Estimation of a software cost depends on a probabilistic model and thus it doesn't create precise values. In any case, accessibility of good chronicled information combined with a efficient technique can create improved outcomes. This paper, we have displayed a Software Effort Estimation Model utilizing PSO and Fuzzy Logic. Fuzzy sets have been utilized for displaying uncertainty and imprecision in estimation of effort while PSO has been utilized for tuning parameters. This has been seen from the outcomes that Fuzzy-PSO intelligence gives precise outcomes when compared through its different partners. This system relies upon thinking by linguistic quantifiers and fuzzy logic. This kind of model holds well, when the product plans are communicated by absolute or potentially arithmetical data. Along these lines, this projected methodology improves the old style correlation process that doesn't think about clear cut data. In the fuzzy correlation model, fuzzy sets are used to describe both the clear cut and the arithmetical data.

Magnetite nanoparticles were used extensively for various applications. In the present study, magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM images showed that the obtained particles were perfectly spherical. Functionality is afforded to these magnetite nanoparticles by adding biocompatible polymer chitosan during the synthesis. AFM phase image clearly showed that the magnetite core is encapsulated with the polymeric shell. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) study showed the chitosan absorption on Fe2O3 nanoparticle surface. The drug sulphamethoxazole was loaded over magnetite nanoparticles and the encapsulation efficiency of drug was calculated at different concentrations of magnetite. The encapsulation efficiency increases with increase in the concentration of magnetite. Thus, an attempt was made in synthesizing drug loaded biopolymer magnetite nanoparticles suitable for targeted drug delivery.

Managing a large number of textual documents is a critical and significant task and supports many applications ranging from information retrieval to clustering search engine results. Marathi is one of the oldest of the regional languages in the Indo-Aryan language family, dating from about AD 1000. Abundance of Marathi literature has generated a big corpus and need of summarization of information. The objective of this study is to overcome the scalability problem while managing the documents and summarize the Marathi corpus by extracting tokens. The work is better in terms of scalability and supports the consistent quality of cluster for incremental data set. Most of the past and contemporary research works have targeted English corpus document management. Marathi corpus has been mostly exploited by the researchers for exploring stemming, single-document summarization and classifier design on Marathi corpus. Implementing unsupervised learning on the Marathi corpus for summarization of multiple documents through Word Cloud is still an untouched area. Technically speaking, the current work is an application of TF-IDF, cosine-based document similarity measures and cluster dendrograms, in addition to various other Natural Language Processing (NLP) activities. Entropy and precision are used to evaluate the experiments carried on different datasets and results prove the robustness of the proposed approach for Marathi Corpus.
