Geomatics and Soft Computing Techniques for Infrastructural Monitoring
Authors: Barrile Vincenzo , Fotia Antonino , Leonardi Giovanni , Pucinotti Raffaele
Published: February 2020

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) allows us to have information about the structure under investigation and thus to create analytical models for the assessment of its state or structural behavior. Exceeded a predetermined danger threshold, the possibility of an early warning would allow us, on the one hand, to suspend risky activities and, on the other, to reduce maintenance costs. The system proposed in this paper represents an integration of multiple traditional systems that integrate data of a different nature (used in the preventive phase to define the various behavior scenarios on the structural model), and then reworking them through machine learning techniques, in order to obtain values to compare with limit thresholds. The risk level depends on several variables, specifically, the paper wants to evaluate the possibility of predicting the structure behavior monitoring only displacement data, transmitted through an experimental transmission control unit. In order to monitor and to make our cities more “sustainable”, the paper describes some tests on road infrastructure, in this contest through the combination of geomatics techniques and soft computing.
Did Haze Pollution Harm the Quality of Economic Development?—An Empirical Study Based on China’s PM2.5 Concentrations
Authors: Zhao Qing , Yuan Chih-Hung
Published: February 2020

Based on the PM2.5 haze data of China’s provinces between 2004–2016, this paper systematically explores the impact of haze pollution on the quality of China’s economic development, as well as its transmission mechanisms. This is achieved by measuring the quality of economic development with total factor productivity. Furthermore, this paper innovatively uses precipitation as an instrumental variable for mitigating the endogeneity of the haze pollution variable, by which the impact of haze pollution on the quality of China’s economic development is estimated within the framework of two-stage least squares. It is found that: the haze pollution has degraded the quality of China’s economic development significantly; the labor supply loss, counter urbanization and human capital disruption are the three major transmission channels through which haze pollution affects the quality of China’s economic development; strengthening government’s environmental management is effective in mitigating the adverse impact of haze pollution on the economic development quality; and that China’s unique fiscal decentralization system has exacerbated the negative economic effect of haze pollution. The policy implications of this paper are as follows: Improvement of economic development quality is a prerequisite for the transition of economic development mode; and the governmental management of haze is conducive to enhancing the quality of atmospheric environment and economic development, and to promoting the high-quality development of the Chinese economy.

Authors: Soyer Gürel , Yilmaz Ersel
Published: February 2020

In this paper, the dairy cattle waste management systems on farms in Aydın region in Turkey were investigated. Number of farms and livestock herd size, type of barn, type of machinery and farm labour force were studied. The collection, management and storage systems of manure produced in dairy cattle farms were taken into consideration. Additionally, biogas amount, which is produced from animal waste, was calculated for all districts of Aydın by using the number of livestock animals and various criteria such as the rate of dry matter. Results show that the typical and representative farm in the Aydın region is facility with a total head over 100 heads. 89.6% of the farms have heads in the range of 100 to 200. The amount of biogas that can be produced from all manure collected in Aydın region in the biogas plants is approximately 160,438 m3/day (based on 0.5 m3/day biogas per cattle), which would produce around 100 GWh/year that can be used for own needs of farms owners.
A Team-Level Study of the Relationship between Knowledge Sharing and Trust in Kenya: Moderating Role of Collaborative Technology
Authors: Kipkosgei Felix , Kang Seung-Wan , Choi Suk Bong
Published: February 2020

Research on team dynamics is gaining popularity because teams are yielding positive organizational outcomes. Advanced technologies are often used to enhance team outcomes for improved productivity and to create effective knowledge-sharing contexts in teams, particularly in contexts where trust among team members is vital. This study analyzed the influence of knowledge sharing on trust at the team level in Kenya. The objective was to determinepractical implications to assist organizations with their efforts to optimize the association between knowledge sharing and team-level trust and to consider the moderating role of collaborative technology on this relationship. Data were collected from 300 professional employees at three organizations in Kenya, aggregated into 75 teams, and analyzed in a hierarchical multiple linear regression. The team-level analysis found that knowledge sharing was significantly and positively related to the extent of team trust, and the relationship was moderated by the perception of collaborative technology. Organizations should consider their teams’ knowledge sharing and trust to support team dynamics and achieve organizational and team goals. Employees’ perceptions that technologies support team processes influence the effectiveness of knowledge sharing as a way to build team trust.
Corn and Rice Cultivation Affect Soil Organic and Inorganic Carbon Storage through Altering Soil Properties in Alkali Sodic Soils, Northeast of China
Authors: Wang Jingjing , Tang Jie , Li Zhaoyang , Yang Wei , Yang Ping , Qu Yunke
Published: February 2020

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil inorganic carbon (SIC) play essential roles in carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems; however, the effects of crop cultivation on them are still poorly understood, especially in alkali sodic soils widely distributed in semiarid regions. Alkali sodic soils from cornfields and paddies with cultivation years of 5, 15, and 25 were analyzed here to assess the response of soil properties and soil carbon pools to crop cultivation. Soil pH and exchangeable sodium percentages decrease in accordance with cultivation years, while enzyme activity (amylase, invertase, and catalase) shows a contrary trend. Soil pH and exchangeable sodium percentages are negatively correlated with SOC, but positively correlated with SIC. Redundancy analysis reveals an obvious relationship between SOC and invertase activity. The percentage of δ13CSOC found here is approximately –24.78‰ to –22.97‰ for cornfields and approximately –26.54‰ to –23.81‰ for paddies, suggesting that crop cultivation contributes to SOC sequestration and stocking, increasing with cultivation years. The percentage of δ13CSIC found here is approximately 1.90‰ to 3.73‰, proving that lithogenic inorganic carbon is the major SIC, where the stock decreases with increasing cultivation years. Significant total carbon stock loss is observed in cornfields, while it is preserved at 120 Mg ha−1 in paddies. We conclude here from the results that corn and rice cultivation reduce alkali sodic conditions in soil, thereby improving soil enzymes and favoring SOC stocking, but reducing SIC stocks.
In Vivo Efficacy of SYN023, an Anti-Rabies Monoclonal Antibody Cocktail, in Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Animal Models
Authors: Chao Tzu-Yuan , Zhang Shou-feng , Chen Li , Tsao Eric , Rupprecht Charles E.
Published: February 2020

Rabies immune globulin (RIG) is an indispensable component of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) because it provides passive immunity to prevent this otherwise inescapably fatal disease in Category III exposed patients. Even with decades of development, RIG products are still criticized for their high cost, lot-to-lot variation, and potential safety issues. They remain largely unattainable in most developing regions of the world, where demand is highest. In recent years, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have become widely accepted as safer and more cost-effective alternatives to RIG products. As an example, SYN023 is a 1:1 cocktail of two humanized anti-rabies MAbs previously shown to display extensive neutralizing capabilities. Here, we further assessed the efficacy of SYN023 in animal models of rabies, and found that SYN023 afforded protection equal to a standard dose of human RIG (HRIG) at 0.03 mg/kg in Syrian hamsters and 0.1 mg/kg in beagles. Potential interference with vaccine-induced immunity was analyzed for the MAbs at these concentrations. While individual MAbs did not interfere with vaccine response, SYN023 at dosages of 0.1 mg/kg and above resulted in reduced neutralizing antibody titers similar to HRIG. Thus, the in vivo characterization of SYN023 supports its utility in human rabies PEP as an efficacious alternative to RIG products.

Published: February 2020

The treatment and management of chronic wounds presents a massive financial burden for global health care systems, with significant and disturbing consequences for the patients affected. These wounds remain challenging to treat, reduce the patients’ life quality, and are responsible for a high percentage of limb amputations and many premature deaths. The presence of bacterial biofilms hampers chronic wound therapy due to the high tolerance of biofilm cells to many first- and second-line antibiotics. Due to the appearance of antibiotic-resistant and multidrug-resistant pathogens in these types of wounds, the research for alternative and complementary therapeutic approaches has increased. Bacteriophage (phage) therapy, discovered in the early 1900s, has been revived in the last few decades due to its antibacterial efficacy against antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates. Its use in the treatment of non-healing wounds has shown promising outcomes. In this review, we focus on the societal problems of chronic wounds, describe both the history and ongoing clinical trials of chronic wound-related treatments, and also outline experiments carried out for efficacy evaluation with different phage-host systems using in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo animal models. We also describe the modern and most recent delivery systems developed for the incorporation of phages for species-targeted antibacterial control while protecting them upon exposure to harsh conditions, increasing the shelf life and facilitating storage of phage-based products. In this review, we also highlight the advances in phage therapy regulation.

Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) is an emerging pathogenic flavivirus responsible for massive economic losses in the duck industry. However, commercially inactivated DTMUV vaccines have been ineffective at inducing protective immunity in ducks. The widely used adjuvant cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs) reportedly improve humoral and cellular immunities in animal models. However, its effectiveness in DTMUV vaccines requires validation. Here, we assessed the protective efficacy of pUC18-CpG as an adjuvant in an inactivated live DTMUV vaccine in ducks. Our results revealed that the serum hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody titers, positive rates of anti-DTMUV antibodies, the concentration of serum cytokines, and protection efficacy were significantly increased in ducks immunized with pUC18-CpG compared to that in the control group. Moreover, ducks immunized with a full vaccine dose containing a half dose of antigen supplemented with 40 μg of pUC18-CpG exhibited the most potent responses. This study suggests that pUC18-CpG is a promising adjuvant against DTMUV, which might prove effective in treating other viral diseases in waterfowl.
Extracellular Vesicles from Human Papilloma Virus-Infected Cervical Cancer Cells Enhance HIV-1 Replication in Differentiated U1 Cell Line

Published: February 2020

In the current study, we hypothesized that extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from human papilloma virus (HPV)-infected cervical cancer cells exacerbate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 replication in differentiated U1 cell line through an oxidative stress pathway. To test the hypothesis, we treated an HIV-1-infected macrophage cell line (U1) with HPV-infected Caski cell culture supernatant (CCS). We observed a significant increase in HIV-1 replication, which was associated with an increase in the expression of cytochrome P450 (CYPs 1A1 and 2A6) in the CCS-treated U1 cells. Furthermore, we isolated EVs from CCS (CCS-EVs), which showed the presence of CYPs (1A1, 2A6), superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), and HPV oncoproteins HPV16 E6. CCS-EVs when exposed to the U1 cells also significantly increased HIV-1 replication. Treatment of antioxidant, CYP1A1 and CYP2A6 inhibitors, and chemodietary agents with antioxidant properties significantly reduced the CCS and CCS-EVs mediated HIV-1 replication in U1 cells. Altogether, we demonstrate that cervical cancer cells exacerbate HIV-1 replication in differentiated U1 cell line via transferring CYPs and HPV oncoproteins through EVs. We also show that the viral replication occurs via CYP and oxidative stress pathways, and the viral replication is also reduced by chemodietary agents. This study provides important information regarding biological interactions between HPV and HIV-1 via EVs leading to enhanced HIV-1 replication.

Priming and activation of CD8+ T cell responses is crucial to achieve anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity. Live attenuated measles vaccine strains have been used successfully for immunization for decades and are currently investigated in trials of oncolytic virotherapy. The available reverse genetics systems allow for insertion of additional genes, including heterologous antigens. Here, we designed recombinant measles vaccine vectors for priming and activation of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. For proof-of-concept, we used cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) lines specific for the melanoma-associated differentiation antigen tyrosinase-related protein-2 (TRP-2), or the model antigen chicken ovalbumin (OVA), respectively. We generated recombinant measles vaccine vectors with TRP-2 and OVA epitope cassette variants for expression of the full-length antigen or the respective immunodominant CD8+ epitope, with additional variants mediating secretion or proteasomal degradation of the epitope. We show that these recombinant measles virus vectors mediate varying levels of MHC class I (MHC-I)-restricted epitope presentation, leading to activation of cognate CTLs, as indicated by secretion of interferon-gamma (IFNγ) in vitro. Importantly, the recombinant OVA vaccines also mediate priming of naïve OT-I CD8+ T cells by dendritic cells. While all vaccine variants can prime and activate cognate T cells, IFNγ release was enhanced using a secreted epitope variant and a variant with epitope strings targeted to the proteasome. The principles presented in this study will facilitate the design of recombinant vaccines to elicit CD8+ responses against pathogens and tumor antigens.

The discovery and characterization of novel arthropod-borne viruses provide valuable information on their genetic diversity, ecology, evolution and potential to threaten animal or public health. Arbovirus surveillance is not conducted regularly in Romania, being particularly very scarce in the remote and diverse areas like the Danube Delta. Here we describe the detection and genetic characterization of a novel orbivirus (Reoviridae: Orbivirus) designated as Letea virus, which was found in grass snakes (Natrix natrix) during a metagenomic and metatranscriptomic survey conducted between 2014 and 2017. This virus is the first orbivirus discovered in reptiles. Phylogenetic analyses placed Letea virus as a highly divergent species in the Culicoides-/sand fly-borne orbivirus clade. Gene reassortment and intragenic recombination were detected in the majority of the nine Letea virus strains obtained, implying that these mechanisms play important roles in the evolution and diversification of the virus. However, the screening of arthropods, including Culicoides biting midges collected within the same surveillance program, tested negative for Letea virus infection and could not confirm the arthropod vector of the virus. The study provided complete genome sequences for nine Letea virus strains and new information about orbivirus diversity, host range, ecology and evolution. The phylogenetic associations warrant further screening of arthropods, as well as sustained surveillance efforts for elucidation of Letea virus natural cycle and possible implications for animal and human health.
Antigen-Based Nano-Immunotherapy Controls Parasite Persistence, Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress, and Cardiac Fibrosis, the Hallmarks of Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy, in A Mouse Model of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection

Published: February 2020

Chagas cardiomyopathy is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc). We identified two candidate antigens (TcG2 and TcG4) that elicit antibodies and T cell responses in naturally infected diverse hosts. In this study, we cloned TcG2 and TcG4 in a nanovector and evaluated whether nano-immunotherapy (referred as nano2/4) offers resistance to chronic Chagas disease. For this, C57BL/6 mice were infected with Tc and given nano2/4 at 21 and 42 days post-infection (pi). Non-infected, infected, and infected mice treated with pcDNA3.1 expression plasmid encoding TcG2/TcG4 (referred as p2/4) were used as controls. All mice responded to Tc infection with expansion and functional activation of splenic lymphocytes. Flow cytometry showed that frequency of splenic, poly-functional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressing interferon-γ, perforin, and granzyme B were increased by immunotherapy (Tc.nano2/4 > Tc.p2/4) and associated with 88%–99.7% decline in cardiac and skeletal (SK) tissue levels of parasite burden (Tc.nano2/4 > Tc.p2/4) in Chagas mice. Subsequently, Tc.nano2/4 mice exhibited a significant decline in peripheral and tissues levels of oxidative stress (e.g., 4-hydroxynonenal, protein carbonyls) and inflammatory infiltrate that otherwise were pronounced in Chagas mice. Further, nano2/4 therapy was effective in controlling the tissue infiltration of pro-fibrotic macrophages and established a balanced environment controlling the expression of collagens, metalloproteinases, and other markers of cardiomyopathy and improving the expression of Myh7 (encodes β myosin heavy chain) and Gsk3b (encodes glycogen synthase kinase 3) required for maintaining cardiac contractility in Chagas heart. We conclude that nano2/4 enhances the systemic T cell immunity that improves the host’s ability to control chronic parasite persistence and Chagas cardiomyopathy.

Abstract - This tool is made to facilitate human work in controlling the intensity of light on the lamp using PID control. To adjust the light in a room requires a control of light intensity which will adjust the light intensity and conditions in the room. So one method is to use PID control using a light sensor. The intensity control system emitted by lights with a light sensor will adjust to the conditions of the room. With the addition of PID control on the light sensor so that it can speed up the response of the system. To design the light intensity control, this study was conducted. Where the value of set (set point) as a value that will be a reference of the control system commonly called Set Value (SV). Then the controller that will become the control system is the PID control system. Then go to the MOSFET driver to convert it from the microcontroller block to the actuator. After that, proceed to the plant system section where there is an actuator in the form of a DC light and its light intensity is measured with an LDR that functions as feedback in the form of a digital light sensor. The digital signal from the sensor output will then be entered into the controller PV). Interference will be given to the actuator in the form of external light such as incoming sunlight, or, can be the addition of light and / or reduction of light with lights.

Multigear Bubble Propulsion of Transient Micromotors
Authors: Nourhani Amir , Karshalev Emil , Soto Fernando , Wang Joseph
Published: February 2020

Transient, chemically powered micromotors are promising biocompatible engines for microrobots. We propose a framework to investigate in detail the dynamics and the underlying mechanisms of bubble propulsion for transient chemically powered micromotors. Our observations on the variations of the micromotor active material and geometry over its lifetime, from initial activation to the final inactive state, indicate different bubble growth and ejection mechanisms that occur stochastically, resulting in time-varying micromotor velocity. We identify three processes of bubble growth and ejection, and in analogy with macroscopic multigear machines, we call each process a gear. Gear 1 refers to bubbles that grow on the micromotor surface before detachment while in Gear 2 bubbles hop out of the micromotor. Gear 3 is similar in nature to Gear 2, but the bubbles are too small to contribute to micromotor motion. We study the characteristics of these gears in terms of bubble size and ejection time, and how they contribute to micromotor displacement. The ability to tailor the shell polarity and hence the bubble growth and ejection and the surrounding fluid flow is demonstrated. Such understanding of the complex multigear bubble propulsion of transient chemical micromotors should guide their future design principles and serve for fine tuning the performance of these micromotors.

Una aproximación a los estudios tecnológicos de los torteros indígenas de las sierras de Córdoba (Argentina)
Authors: Tissera Luis
Published: February 2020

En este aporte se efectúa el análisis preliminar de un conjunto de torteros cerámicos (contrapesos del huso para tareas del hilado), proveniente de diversos reservorios museológicos de la provincia de Córdoba. Se consideran características tecno-funcionales a partir de variables mensurables y se indaga en las posibilidades de producción que admiten estos artefactos. La mayoría de los mismos fueron producidos a partir de tiestos provenientes de distintos contenedores cerámicos, posiblemente descartados por roturas. Esta forma de producción, a través del reciclado, implicó una práctica ampliamente difundida a nivel regional; sin embargo, en hallazgos puntuales y acotados espacialmente, se puede observar otro tipo de tortero generalmente adornado con decoración incisa, cuya elaboración se caracteriza por la técnica de modelado y horneado de la cerámica. Entre los elementos de este tipo que integran la muestra, se observa un significativo predominio de aquellos artefactos procedentes del sur del Valle de Calamuchita, los que presentan una mayor especificidad tecnológica y funcional que delimita sus prestaciones. A partir del estudio comparativo entre este subconjunto y el resto de los torteros recuperados, se sugiere a modo hipótesis que entre las hilanderas de dicha área, podría haberse difundido una preferencia productiva en la elaboración de hilos de determinadas características.

El estudio de los granos de almidón y los esporomorfos recuperados en contextos arqueológicos sirve como una herramienta de investigación útil y novedosa que permite interpretaciones completas y evidencias directas sobre la interacción, domesticación, uso y consumo de las plantas en relación con los grupos humanos que habitaron un área determinada. El primer paso para identificar y contrastar estos restos arqueológicos es crear una colección de referencia distinguiendo y caracterizando aquellas plantas que son consideradas de importancia para la investigación. Existen registros desde la época prehispánica que hacen referencia al uso de especies pertenecientes a las familias Convolvulaceae y Fabaceae se usaban para la cura de enfermedades, con fines rituales y/o alimenticios. Ante esto, se seleccionaron especies nativas de la provincia de Entre Ríos pertenecientes a dichas familias con el objeto de estudiar tanto los granos de almidón como las características palinológicas de las mismas. Para su análisis, se recolectaron tres ejemplares por especie y se extrajeron granos de almidón de la raíz empleando métodos convencionales y esporomorfos mediante colecta en fresco. Los resultados obtenidos proporcionan información de importancia para identificar y contrastar los almidones hallados en contextos arqueológicos de la región.

Em 2015, São José do Rio Pardo sediou a 59°edição dos Jogos Regionais com um discurso de legado esportivo para a população do município. Essa pesquisa buscou avaliar o legado deixado a partir da manutenção dos equipamentos públicos de lazer esportivo seis meses após o evento mencionado. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de campo que cruzou dados de análise documental com visitas in loco aos equipamentos. Ocorreram investimentos e melhorias que poderiam sinalizar um legado esportivo efetivo e um incentivo às práticas de lazer. Entretanto, ao visitar os locais, percebe-se que o poder público municipal não desempenhou atividades de manutenção básica. Em alguns casos, como na pista de BMX, acredita-se estar mais próximo do “largado” esportivo devido ao estado de abandono, deterioração e falta de manutenção adequada. Sediar eventos dessa magnitude pode contribuir para o incentivo à prática esportiva, desde que o poder público continue a desenvolver políticas e leis de incentivo voltadas ao setor.

Published: February 2020

Abstrak

Asas umum dalam hukum kontrak syariah yaitu asas الأَصْلُ فِيْ الأَشْيَاْءِ الإِبَاْحَةُ yang menyatakan bahwa segala sesuatu itu hukumnya boleh, kecuali ada dalil yang melarangnya. Selain itu, terdapat pula beberapa asas penting, yang satu dengan lainnya saling berkaitan, yaitu: asas konsensualisme, asas kekuatan mengikatnya kontrak dan asas kebebasan berkontrak. Implikasi dari asas-asas tersebut jika tidak dibatasi dengan ketentuan maupun perundangan-undangan akan mengakibatkan hilangnya ruh dari hukum kontrak syariah. Sehingga tulisan ini mencoba memaparkan pelarangan riba dan bunga dalam sistem hukum kontrak syariah sebagai bentuk upaya menjaga agar tidak kehilangan ruhnya.

Abstrac

The general principle in sharia contract law is the principle of الأَصْلُ فِيْ الأَشْيَاْءِ الإِبَاْحَةُ which states that everything is legal, unless there is an argument that prohibits it. In addition, there are also several important principles, which are interrelated to one another, namely: the principle of consensualism, the principle of the strength of contract binding and the principle of freedom of contract. The implications of these principles if not limited to the provisions or laws and regulations will result in the loss of the spirit of sharia contract law. So this paper tries to explain the prohibition of usury and interest in the legal system of sharia contracts as a form of efforts to keep it from losing its spirit.

People with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) have a particular sensory sensitivity, causing their surrounding environment to affect the quality of life significantly. It is called a “spectrum”, because there is a great variety of behaviours making it difficult to define universal and design criteria. These behaviours do however require a new dynamic and flexible approach, enabling the customization of the feedback to the project. Starting from the study of the specific needs of users, the environmental conditions and the design approaches, this research aims at providing innovative tools to support the design of “therapeutic” environments which could reduce the discomfort and stress related to the person’s enablement, in order to include them in the social community within an integrated life project, concerning “home”, applied living spaces (school, work, day centres...) and emergency conditions with respect to treatments.

Интенсивное развитие процессов окисления сульфидов с саморазогреванием руд при разработке колчеданных месторождений нередко сопровождается возникновением колчеданных подземных пожаров. Они способны создавать исключительно тяжелые условия для проведения горных работ и негативно воздействовать на производственную и окружающую среду. Этот факт должен учитываться при создании новых и эксплуатации действующих колчеданных рудников.

On the Quadra Fibona-Pell and Hexa Fibona-Pell-Jacobsthal Sequences
Authors: MENKEN Hamza , DİŞKAYA Orhan
Published: February 2020

In this paper, we consider Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, Pell-Lucas, Jacobsthal, Jacobsthal-Lucas sequences. We introduce the quadra Fibona-Pell,Fibona-Jacobsthal and Pell-Jacobsthal and the hexa Fibona-Pell-Jacobsthal sequences whose components are the Fibonacci, Pell and Jacobsthal sequences. We derive the Binet-like formulas, the generating functions and the exponential generating functions of these sequences. Also, we obtain some binomial identities for them.
On The Difference Sequence Space $l_p(\hat{T}^q)$
Authors: İLKHAN Merve , ZENGİN ALP Pınar
Published: February 2020

In this study, we introduce a new matrix $\hat{T}^q=(\hat{t}^q_{nk})$ by\[\hat{t}^q_{nk}=\left \{\begin{array}[c]{ccl}%\frac{q_n}{Q_n} t_n & , & k=n\\\frac{q_k}{Q_n}t_k-\frac{q_{k+1}}{Q_n} \frac{1}{t_{k+1}} & , & kn .\end{array}\right.\]

where $t_k>0$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $(t_n)\in c\backslash c_0$. By using the matrix $\hat{T}^q$, we introduce the sequence space $\ell_p(\hat{T}^q)$ for $1\leq p\leq\infty$. In addition, we give some theorems on inclusion relations associated with $\ell_p(\hat{T}^q)$ and find the $\alpha$-, $\beta$-, $\gamma$- duals of this space. Lastly, we analyze the necessary and sufficient conditions for an infinite matrix to be in the classes $(\ell_p(\hat{T}^q),\lambda)$ or $(\lambda,\ell_p(\hat{T}^q))$, where $\lambda\in\{\ell_1,c_0,c,\ell_\infty\}$.
Slant Helices that Constructed from Hyperspherical Curves in the n-dimensional Euclidean Space
Authors: Altunkaya Bülent
Published: February 2020

In this work, we study slant helices in the n-dimensional Euclidean space. We give  methods to determine the position vectors of slant helices from arclength parameterized curves that lie on the unit hypersphere. By means of these methods, first we characterize  slant helices and Salkowski curves which lie on 2n-dimensional hyperboloid. After that,  we characterize  rectifying slant helices which are geodesics of 2n-dimensional cone.
