Published: August 2022

Defending against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) in the Internet of Things (IoT) computing environment is a challenging task. DDoS attacks are type of collective attack in which attackers work together to compromise internet security and services. The resource-constrained devices used in IoT deployments have made it even easier for an attacker to break, because of the vast number of vulnerable IoT devices with significant compute power. This paper proposed an ensemble machine learning (ML) model using the bagging technique to detect and prevent DDoS attacks in the IoT computing environment. We carried out an Machine Learning experiment and evaluated our proposed model with the most recent DDoS attacks (CICDoS2019) dataset. We use seven validation metrics (classification accuracy, precision rate, recall rate, f1-score, Matthews Correlation Coefficient, false negative rate and false positive rate) to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. The results obtained in our experiment shows an improved performance with an overall maximum classification accuracy of 99.75%, precision rate of 99.99%, recall rate of 99.76%, f1-score of 99.87%, Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 0.000000214, false negative rate of 0.24% and 4.42% false positive rate.

Most studies on the effects of microplastics on marine biota are carried out using unrealistically high concentrations. Moreover, although microplastics are capable of carrying toxic substances and thus can cause adverse effects even without coming into direct contact with organisms, little is known about the effects of not accessible for ingestion microplastics on benthic biota. Considering that the presence of microplastic particles can itself cause effects to the biota due to toxic substances leached, the present study evaluated the ecotoxicological effects of microplastic leachates of virgin and beach stranded in marine sediments (whole sediments and elutriates) on the epibenthic copepod Nitokra sp. (size 3 ± 1 mm). Effects on reproduction were evaluated using clean sediment enriched with environmentally relevant concentrations [1 pellet: 46.67g sediment (Low) and 1 pellet: 1.67g sediment (High)] of two types of plastic pellets (size 4 ± 1 mm) (i) virgin (obtained from the manufacturer) or (ii) stranded (collected from Santos beach, São Paulo, Brazil, a highly urbanized beach). The results of the present study showed that microplastics leachate (virgin or from the environment) did not cause an inhibiting effect on reproduction in Nitokra sp. in any of the scenarios tested. These results contribute to further risk assessments of plastic particles for marine biota.

Abstract. Though diel variations are geographically widespread phenomena among phytoplankton and zooplankton, knowledge is limited regarding diel variations in planktonic ciliate (microzooplankton) community structure. In this study, we analyzed diel variations in community structure of planktonic ciliates in the northern South China Sea (nSCS) and tropical Western Pacific (tWP). Hydrological characteristics during day and night were slightly different over both the nSCS and tWP, while ciliate average abundance in night was clearly higher than in day in the upper 200 m. The differences in weighted mean depth (WMD) for aloricate ciliates and tintinnids revealed that they preformed diel vertical migrations. In the nSCS, the WMDs of both aloricate ciliates and tintinnids were higher in day than in night. However, in the tWP, the WMDs of aloricate ciliates were higher in day than in night, whereas it was the opposite for tintinnids whose WMDs were lower in day than in night, indicating that they were in phase opposition with aloricate ciliates. In both the nSCS and tWP, abundance proportions of large size-fraction aloricate ciliates in night were higher than in day. While for tintinnids, abundance proportion of large lorica oral diameter in night were lower than in day. The relationship between environmental factors and ciliate abundance pointed out that depth and temperature were main factors influencing aloricate ciliate and tintinnid abundances in both day and night. For some dominant tintinnid species, chlorophyll a was another important factor influencing diel vertical distribution. Our results provide fundamental data for better understanding the diel vertical migration ecological role of planktonic ciliates in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean.

Published: August 2022

Abstract. High-resolution and multitemporal impervious surface maps on large scales are crucial for environmental and socioeconomic studies. However, recently available multitemporal impervious surface maps of the Lancang-Mekong basin were limited at 30-m resolution with considerably low accuracy. Hence, the development of up-to-date, accurate, and multitemporal impervious surface maps with the 10-m resolution is urgently needed. In this article, a machine learning framework is demonstrated by fusing Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar images and Sentinel-2 Multispectral Sensor images to map and study the annual dynamics of impervious surfaces in the Lancang-Mekong basin from 2016 to 2021 facilitated by Google Earth Engine. Moreover, a train sample migration strategy is proposed to automate impervious surface mapping for various time periods eliminating the need to collect additional train samples from this vast study area. Finally, qualitative and quantitative assessments are conducted using test samples from Google Earth and four existing state-of-the-art datasets. The result shows that the overall accuracy and Kappa of the final impervious surface maps range from 91.45 % to 92.44 % and 0.829 to 0.848, respectively, which demonstrates the feasibility and reliability of the proposed method and results.

Whole-rock and zircon evidence for evolution of the Late Jurassic high-Sr ∕ Y Zhoujiapuzi granite, Liaodong Peninsula, North China Craton
Authors: Zeng Renyu , Allen Mark B. , Mao Xiancheng , Lai Jianqing , Yan Jie , Wan Jianjun
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Middle–Late Jurassic high-Sr/Y granitic intrusions are
extensively exposed in the Liaodong Peninsula in the eastern part of the
North China Craton (NCC). However, the genesis of the high Sr/Y signature in
these intrusions has not been studied in detail. In this study, we report
results of zircon U–Pb dating, Hf isotopic analysis, and zircon and
whole-rock geochemical data for the Late Jurassic Zhoujiapuzi granite in the
middle part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The Zhoujiapuzi granite is high-K
(calc–alkaline) and peraluminous in nature, with high SiO2 (68.1 wt %–73.0 wt %) and Al2O3 (14.5 wt %–16.8 wt %), low TFe2O3
(1.10 wt %–2.49 wt %) and MgO (0.10 wt %–0.44 wt %), and high Sr/Y
(19.9–102.0) and LaN/YbN (14.59–80.40), which is characteristic of high-Sr/Y I-type granite. The geochemical signatures, in combination with the
presence of a large number of Paleoproterozoic inherited zircons, indicate
that the Zhoujiapuzi granite was most likely derived from partial melting of
the basement in the region, specifically the Liaoji granites. The high
Sr/Y signature is inherited from these source rocks. Laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) zircon U–Pb
dating of the autocryst zircons from two samples (from different localities)
yielded consistent weighted average ages of 160.7 ± 1.1 Ma (mean squared weighted deviation – MSWD = 1.3)
and 159.6 ± 1.1 Ma (MSWD = 1.2), with εHf(t) values in the
range of −26.6 to −22.8. Morphological and chemical studies on autocrystic
zircon grains show that there are two stages of zircon growth, interpreted
as magmatic evolution in two distinct stages. The light-cathodoluminescence (light-CL) core reflects a
crystallization environment of low oxygen fugacity and high TZr–Ti; the
dark-CL rim formed with high oxygen fugacity and lower TZr–Ti. Based on
the geochemical features and regional geological data, we propose that the
Liaodong Peninsula in the Late Jurassic was part of a mature continental
arc, with extensive melting of thick crust above the Paleo-Pacific
subduction zone.

Authors: Jariwala Dr. Neeti Paragbhai , Jasmin Diwan Dr. Shraddha , Shah Dr. Nehal
Published: August 2022

Background: Among different types of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been widely used to improve various outcome measures in subjects with neurological conditions. It is a neuro- modulatory technique that delivers low intensity, direct current to cortical areas facilitating or inhibiting spontaneous neuronal activity. Several studies have highlighted the therapeutic potential of tDCS in patients with neurological diseases, including dementia, epilepsy, post-stroke dysfunctions, movement disorders, and other pathological conditions.
Introduction: The tDCS stimulating device is a 13 cm×21 cm portable box, with two rubber electrodes applied with conductive gel or water-soaked pads. Typically, the protocol for tDCS utilizes 1-2 mA of continuous current for a duration of 10–20 minutes, with one electrode placed in the region of the motor cortex and the other on the contralateral supraorbital region. The current narrative review was planned to assess efficacy of tDCS while examining the role of specific regions of brain and the understanding of the underlying mechanism for treatment effects of brain stimulation in different neurological conditions involving lesions of Central Nervous System (CNS).
Method: Literature was explored on search engines (google scholar, scihub and pubmed) and databases for articles published from 2018 upto February 1, 2022. The key search phrase, transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS and neurological conditions was used to identify potentially relevant articles. The following inclusion criteria were applied for article selection: (1) studies that used tDCS to treat neurological conditions (2) studies that rated at a score of 7 or higher according to the PEDro scale.
Results: Many potentially relevant articles were identified. After reading the titles and abstracts and assessing eligibility based on the full-text articles, 47 publications were included in our review. Majority studies showed that the outcome (ADL functions, motor control, pain, memory, speech, epileptic episodes, signs of consciousness, etc) for each condition reviewed were significantly improved.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the addition of tDCS to conventional as well as latest method of treating disorders of central nervous system, led to significant improvement in various variables compared with general physical therapy only.

Published: August 2022

The process of respiration is mandatory for the living beings so as to provide oxygen for carrying out their metabolic activities and elimination of toxins from the body. The whole concept is elaborated in Ayurveda as the shwasana kriya which involves prana vayu and pranavaha srotasa. Also for the management of any respiratory disorders, the treatment regimen stated includes therapies, medicaments and practice of pranayama or breathing exercises. In today’s world, lung diseases are a major reason for disabilities and fatalities. We are currently witnessing the era of COVID-19 pandemic, which has hampered the homoeostasis of the body involving various organ systems, the prime target being the respiratory system. Therefore, the knowledge imparted by our Ayurvedic science to improve the physiological functioning of this system and to manage the associated pathologies, which has been illustrated exquisitely, can be utilized. Through this article, an attempt is being made to understand the concept of respiration and co-relate it with the Ayurvedic counterpart.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Mesenchymal neoplasms of gastrointestinal tract are a group of rare tumors with overlapping histological features. There is significant morphologic overlap among diagnostic entities on the differential of mesenchymal lesions. So, use of a panel of immunohistochemical antibodies is necessary for accurate characterization of mesenchymal lesions of gastrointestinal system.
Aim: The study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in western India between January, 2019 to June 2020 to study the histomorphological spectrum and utility of IHC in the final diagnosis of mesenchymal tumor of GIT.
Material & Methods: The cases were selected on the basis of inclusion & exclusion criteria defined and thereafter a panel of IHC antibodies was applied to diagnose mesenchymal tumors of gastrointestinal tract.
Results: The study included 92 cases with a clinical and provisional morphologic diagnosis of mesenchymal tumors of GIT, mesentery and omentum. 25.00% cases of MT of GIT and were diagnosed on morphology alone. While, 75.00% required IHC for final diagnosis. Tumors with spindle cell morphology 61.95%, epithelioid cell morphology 5.80%, with mixed (spindle+epithelioid) cell morphology 10.14% and pleomorphic cell morphology 1.45%. Using” WHO 2013 of soft tissue tumors” MT of GIT were classified according to clinical behavior in to Benign tumors in 44.57% cases, lipoma being the commonest tumour diagnosed 34.15% cases. Intermediate tumors in 8.70% cases, all cases 100% being fibromatosis. Malignant tumors in 46.74% cases. Using “WHO 2019 of MT of Digestive System”, tumors were classified based on cell type. The commonest phenotype was “GIST” with 42.39% cases, followed by the second common phenotype “Adipose and Myofibroblastic tumor” with 33.69% cases, “Smooth and Skeletal Muscle tumors” with 9.78% cases. “Neural Tumors” with 7.63% cases, “Vascular and Perivascular” with 5.43% cases.
Conclusion: GIST are the commonest MT of GIT. The availability of targeted chemotherapy warrants confirmation and ruling out GIST amongst all MT on priority basis. IHC panel should be applied in stepwise manner over “morphologically suspicious” cases Mesenchymal Tumors of GIT to diagnose and rule out GIST with first panel being CD117 and DOG1. These optimize the use of antibodies and make it cost effective.

Authors: Singh Km Akancha , Patel Vivek Kumar , Rai Abhishek
Published: August 2022

HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M, and HPMC K100M polymers are used in this study to make floating tablets of famotidine hydrochloride. Drug Delivery systems that are floating in the stomach have a lower bulk density than gastric fluids, therefore they stay buoyant in the stomach for a lengthy period of time without impacting gastric emptying rate. In the treatment of gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer (PUD). Famotidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist (GERD). Famotidine is an excellent option for a floating drug delivery system because of its short half-life, brief time in the stomach, and repeated doses. Melt-granulation technique was used to make famotidine floating tablets using HPMC K4M, HPMC K15M, and HPMC K100M. In vitro buoyancy, drug polymer compatibility (IR Research), weight fluctuation, hardness, friability, thickness, drug content and invitro dissolution experiments were all performed on the floating tablets. Using in vitro buoyancy and dissolvability experiments, we were able to establish that the micromeritic characteristic were excellent. HPMC K100M-based formulation F4 has an excellent in vitro buoyancy lag time and floating time, and in vitro dissolution investigations demonstrate a 96.78 percent release for 12 hours. As a result of the findings of this research, it can be concluded that famotidine floating tablets provide the potential for longest- term drug delivery and a consequent reduction in dosage frequency.

The current emergence of the COVID-19 virus has originated a global disaster due to the unavailability of any type of vaccine or drug which can be effective and determined to combat it. Naturally, various probabilities (such as herbal remedies with known medical importance) have been investigated by scientists. Research of systematic scientific (starting from silico research) of herbal medicine in specific and any type of drug in common is now possible that is building blocks (proteins) of COVID-19 which are already being identified. Mpro or 3CLpro is the main protease of the COVID-19 virus which have an important CoV enzyme and an attractive drug target because it plays a very important role in the viral replication and transcription. By using molecular docking scientist’s aims to explore bioactive chemicals which are found in medicinal plants such as potential COVID-19 Mpro inhibitors. Molecular docking was performed by Autodock 4.2, and the Lamarckian Genetic Algorithm, for analyzing the possibility of a dock. Although, further research is needed here to investigate their uses of potential drug. And the search for new drugs, especially through the use of antiviral peptides, is a very possible and protein-protein docking were performed using silico methods to identify, test, and evaluate cell interactions and interactions of dermaseptin peptide molecules produced by Phyllomedusa frogs against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein macromolecule, with its effect on the surface attachment of the ACE-2 (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2) receptor. Therefore, it is hoped that the dermaseptin-S9 peptide molecule may continue to be studied in the formulation of antibodies to anti-virus peptides that will be able to control COVID-19 infectious diseases.

The depletion in fossil fuels usage requires a replacement to a sustainable bio-fuels source. This research investigated the yield of three kinds of products of the fast pyrolysis of desert date shell in a fabricated fixed bed reactor by varying the pyrolysis temperature from 500 to
800 °C. The purpose of the experiment was to produce briquettes from the bio-chars bonded with cassava starch and gum arabic. The physicochemical properties of briquettes were characterized using ASTM and DIN stan dards while the calorific values and the fuel properties such as ignition
time, boiling time, cooking efficiency and fuel efficiency were determined. The maximum yield of pyrolysis liquid was obtained around 49.08 wt% as pyrolysis temperature reached 600 °C and the highest yield of gases was obtained at 23.20 wt% at 800 °C . Maximum yield of char was obtained
at 500 °C around 48.20 wt% and started to decrease as temperature increases. All the properties investigated showed that starch bonded briquettes have better physicochemical and fuel qualities than the gum arabic bonded briquettes. It was observed that the best starch bonded briquettes
were obtained at 800 o C temperature range while the best gum arabic bonded briquette was obtained at 800 °C temperature range. It was observed that the briquettes produced from pyrolysis derived biochar have great potential as an alternative solid fuel.

The present study aimed production and evaluation of ecological bricks composed of spent mushroom substrate, in order to propose an alternative material in the scope of civil construction, which would reduce environmental problems related to its production. For this reason, spent mushroom
substrate, an agro-waste discarded in the environment after mushroom harvest was evaluated to produce ecological bricks. The brick with spent mushroom substrate has a compression capacity of 0.8 MPa, while the standard brick, without spent mushroom substrate, has a resistance of 2.6 MPa, due
to its porosity. The most abundant chemical element found was calcium and toxic elements were not detected. The greatest water absorption occurred in bricks made with spent mushroom substrate. Although water resistance and absorption are below the recommendations of building construction standards,
the spent mushroom substrate bricks could be applied as sealing material and its production process reduced the consumption of raw materials, energy, water and the emission of pollutants.

Authors: Ghari Zohreh
Published: August 2022

Comparison is an inseparable part of a language. It can be performed using various constructions in both oral and signing languages. English and Persian, for instance use affixes for comparative and superlative adjectives. Sign languages such as Australian Sign Language (Auslan), New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL), American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) employ affixes, use intensifiers and nonmanual features (by itself or along with a sign) to indicate a comparison. This research was aimed to investigate the constructions employed to make comparisons in Iranian Sign Language, Zaban Eshare Irani (ZEI). The findings indicate that, besides the aforementioned constructions used in other sign languages, excluding ‘affixes’, the main construction ZEI signers used was descriptive mode of discourse (e.g. Anker 2004), individually explaining the compared topics to clarify their preference. To a lesser extent, numbering, topicalization, and repetition were also used which mostly united together or alone in the same discourse. A similar construction was also observed for both comparative and superlative adjectives. This study opens a new window to comprehend the deaf people’s mind of thinking, and will benefit studies on language and linguistics, sign language interpreters and those that are interested.

Therefore, people who are not in the habit of going out in the sun may have a deficiency of vitamin D3. The climate of Surat city is moderate with average temperatures of 37 degrees, 32 degrees and 23 degrees Celsius in summer, monsoon and winter, respectively, yet deficiency of vitamin D3 prevails in the population of the city. Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin which helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorus and is essential for building robust bone health. The studies available in the present literature are longitudinal in nature and most have small sample sizes.

Aim of the study: was to evaluate the effects of chronic endometritis on implantation failure at ICSI through its prevalence at hysteroscopy and histology, in a population of women who experienced implantation failure at ICSI. Patients and methods: This was a prospective observational cross-sectional study that has been conducted in the International Islamic Center for Population Studies and research – Al Azhar University from 2017 till 2022. The study was conducted on 150 women who were affected by infertility and one unexplained implantation failure or more at ICSI. Results: In our study, hysteroscopy is a reliable diagnostic technique for CE in unexplained implantation failure and is highly reliable in excluding CE with sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV as 96.5%, 88.17%, 91.3%, 83.3% and, 97.6% respectively. Conclusion: This study suggests that hysteroscopy is a useful diagnostic tool in women with unexplained implantation failure as regard CE diagnosis.
