Published: March 2022

Boron nitride (BN) films with a wide variety of nano-network structures (sp
2 and sp
3 bonds) were prepared using a reactive plasma-assisted coating technique, and their sputtering behavior was investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nanoindentation analyses confirmed the presence of sp
2- and sp
3-bonded phases. Subsequently, the thickness change after plasma exposure was studied for various BN films. The sputtered depth of the prepared BN films after plasma exposure was shallower than that of the SiO2 films. While no clear change was observed in the FTIR spectra, the leakage current and dielectric constant changed significantly owing to the surface modification during plasma exposure. The modified layer underneath the sputtered surface contained local defects that acted as carrier trapping or hopping sites. Sputtering behavior analysis, in combination with electrical measurements, is a useful methodology for designing a wide variety of BN films.

Published: March 2022

We measure the minority carrier lifetime of perovskite films by differential microwave photoconductivity decay (μ-PCD). Clear decay curves can be detected from bare and laminated methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) films by the differential μ-PCD. The degradation of the bare and laminated MAPbI3 films under air exposure at room temperature is clearly observed as the continuous change of the decay curves. The differential μ-PCD can thus be a quick and non-destructive method for the characterization of the electrical quality of perovskite films and modules.

Phase diagrams and electromechanical properties of polydomain epitaxial (1−x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–xPbTiO3 thin films
Authors: He Ningbo , Lei Chihou , Shan Dongliang , Li Qiang , Pan Kai , Liu Yunya
Published: March 2022

Ferroelectric thin films usually exhibit polydomain structures, while current thermodynamics analysis on (1−x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)–xPbTiO3 [(1−x)PMN–xPT] thin films assumed films only possessing single domain. Thus we predict misfit strain–temperature phase diagrams and electromechanical properties of epitaxial (1−x)PMN–xPT thin films via thermodynamics analysis with polydomain structures taken into account. The results show that polydomain structures are more stable than single domain in most areas, consistent well with experimental observations. Phase diagram for 0.7PMN-0.3PT thin films obviously differs from those for 0.58PMN-0.42PT and 0.3PMN-0.7PT thin films. Excellent electromechanical properties are observed near the phase boundary between c and r

Optimal Maintenance Policy for Corroded Oil and Gas Pipelines using Markov Decision Processes
Authors: Heidarydashtarjandi Roohollah , Prasad-Rao Jubilee , Groth Katrina M.
Published: March 2022

This paper presents a novel approach to determine optimal maintenance policies for degraded oil and gas pipelines due to internal pitting corrosion. This approach builds a bridge between Markov process-based corrosion rate models and Markov decision processes (MDP). This bridging allows for the consideration of both short-term and long-term costs for optimal pipeline maintenance operations. To implement MDP, probability transition matrices are estimated to move from one degradation state to the next in the pipeline degradation Markov processes. A case study is also implemented with four pipeline failure modes (i.e., safe, small leak, large leak, and rupture). And four maintenance actions (i.e. do nothing, adding corrosion inhibitors, pigging, and replacement) are considered by assuming perfect pipeline inspections. Monte Carlo simulation is performed on 10,000 initial pits using the selected corrosion models and assumed maintenance and failure costs to determine an optimal maintenance policy.
Quasi-Synchronization Operation of a Long-Stator Doubly-Fed Linear Motor with Accurate Control of both Traction and Contactless Power Transfer
Authors: Wang Yeqin , Shao Zhongshu , Zhong Zaiming , Wang Xiusen
Published: March 2022

In this paper, a quasi-synchronization operation of a doubly-fed linear motor is proposed to achieve accurate regulation of both the traction and the contactless power transfer. A new control structure is proposed to achieve the loose coupling control between the stator side and the mover side, where the scalar control is used for the stator side controller (SSC), and the field-oriented control (FOC) is adopted for the mover side controller (MSC). The SSC and the MSC is with “frequency-coupling”, which enhances the reliability of the whole control system with less information exchange between the SSC and the MSC. The effectiveness of the proposed design is validated through both simulation and experimental studies.

Published: March 2022

This paper presents an analysis for the Age of Information (AoI) in a wireless sensor network consisting of multiple VLC/RF IoT sensors. In this network, we use an energy harvesting method, and all sensors utilize the stored energy in their batteries and transmit update packets with a specific power. We present two main optimization problems based on PD-NOMA scheme for average AoI with the sensor's transmit power constraint. By optimizing these problems, the average AoI for each sensor and the total average AoI in the proposed system are reduced by 10% and 15%, respectively.

A Dual-Flow Attentive Network with Feature Crossing for Chained Trip Purpose Inference
Authors: Lyu Suxing , Han Tianyang , Li Peiran , Luo Xingyu , Kusakabe Takahiko
Published: March 2022

Trip purpose is essential information supporting many downstream tasks in intelligent transportation systems, such as travel behaviour comprehension, location-based service, and urban planning. The observation of trip purpose is a necessary aspect of travel surveys, as it is difficult to obtain clear annotated purposes by another approach. However, the limitations of sampling volume, survey budget, and survey frequency make it difficult to rely solely on travel surveys in the era of big data. There has long been a demand for methods to accurately infer trip purpose. An accurate, generalizable, and robust inference method for trip purpose can be the solid first step towards wide and diverse applications. Existing studies have made significant efforts to reveal features correlated with the trip purpose and leverage chaining patterns between trips. However, geographic contextual information has not often been considered. The spatial correlations and chaining patterns hidden in travelled zones are worth further exploration. Additionally, complex activity-zone interactions have not been considered in previous models. In terms of the trip chain level, the generation of a trip could not be only correlated to its directly associated zones but also the zones before or after it, and vice versa. Here, we propose a framework-Dual-Flow Attentive Network with Feature Crossing (DACross), specifically for chained trip purpose inference. We form trip chains based on a new modelling perspective that treats trip activities and travelled geographic zones as two chains with interactions. Correspondingly, we propose DACross, which consists of two parallel attentive branches and a co-attentive feature crossing module, for fully learning intra- and inter-chain dependencies. We conducted extensive experiments on four large-scale real-world datasets to evaluate not only the performance of DACross but also the generalizability of the proposed framework among different cities and various scenarios. Experimental results prove the overall superiority of the proposed DACross.

Olfaction-inspired MCs: Molecule Mixture Shift Keying and Cross-Reactive Receptor Arrays
Authors: Jamali Vahid , Loos Helene M. , Buettner Andrea , Schober Robert , Poor H. Vincent
Published: March 2022

In this paper, we propose a novel concept for engineered molecular communication (MC) systems inspired by animal olfaction. We focus on a multi-user scenario where several transmitters wish to communicate with a central receiver. We assume that each transmitter employs a unique mixture of different types of signaling molecules to represent its message and the receiver is equipped with an array comprising R different types of receptors in order to detect the emitted molecule mixtures. The design of an MC system based on \textit{orthogonal} molecule-receptor pairs implies that the hardware complexity of the receiver linearly scales with the number of signaling molecule types Q (i.e., R=Q). Natural olfaction systems avoid such high complexity by employing arrays of \textit{cross-reactive} receptors, where each type of molecule activates multiple types of receptors and each type of receptor is predominantly activated by multiple types of molecules albeit with different activation strengths. Motivated by this observation, we first develop an end-to-end MC channel model that accounts for the key properties of olfaction.
Ring resonator gap determination design rule and parameter extraction method for sub-GHz resolution whole C-band Si3N4 integrated spectrometer
Authors: Hasan Gazi Mahamud , Liu Peng , Hasan Mehedi , Ghorbani Houman , Rad Mohammad , Bernier Eric , hall trevor
Published: March 2022

A panoramic
ultra-high resolution photonic integrated circuit spectrometer is under
development by the authors. The architecture comprises a tunable ring resonator
stage and an AWG stage. The resolution defines the bandwidth of the ring
resonator determined by the cross-coupled power and hence the gap between the
access and ring waveguides. The AWG channel frequency spacing determines the
required free-spectral range (FSR) and hence the perimeter of the ring
resonator. The specified < 1GHz resolution combined with a FSR of 50 GHz
render accurate simulation difficult obstructing the design process. In this
report, a simplified design rule to determine the minimum gap between straight
access waveguides and a circular ring waveguide is proposed. Realistic assumptions
such as existence of local bisymmetry and adiabatic mode evolution throughout
the coupling region permit a simple mode solver to determine the relationship
between the cross-coupled power and the minimum gap size. A parameter
extraction method is also formulated for add-drop rings equipped with two nominally identical couplers that
disentangles the loss and coupling ring parameters from intensity-only
transmission measurements. The
proposed rule is applied to the design of ring resonators fabricated on
a Si3N4 platform.
The parameter extraction method is used to analyze the measured
characterization data of the ring resonators. The results show good agreement
between the design rule and parameters extracted from the measured data
(measurement shows maximum deviation of ~43 nm from the design rule estimation)
and provide experimental confirmation of the technological viability of the
ring resonators required by the spectrometer.

Introduction. Due to the remaining tense situation on cholera in the world, research continues on the creation of new preventive drugs, as well as ways to increase the immunogenicity of existing anti-cholera vaccines. The combined use of vaccines with immunomodulators and cytokines is successfully used for the specific prevention of various infections, including particularly dangerous ones.The aim of the work is an experimental study of the effect of immunomodulators on the immunogenic and protective activity of the cholera bivalent chemical vaccine in order to assess the possibility of their use to improve the specific prevention of cholera.Materials and methods. The parameters of cellular and humoral local and systemic immune response in experimental animals vaccinated and receiving immunotherapy, as well as the effect of immunomodulators on the protective activity of antigens that are part of the cholera bivalent chemical vaccine, were evaluated.Results. The studies revealed that the use of immunomodulators in combination with the vaccine leads to an increase in the immunogenic properties of antigens. Immunomodulators stimulate the differentiation of CD4⁺- lymphocytes, ensuring the development of an immune response mainly along the humoral pathway, increase the number of B-lymphocytes, antigen-specific antibody-forming cells, as well as secretory immunoglobulin A in the intestines of vaccinated experimental animals. It is shown that the immunomodulator glucosaminylmuramyl dipeptide increases the protective properties of the antigens that are part of the chemical cholera bivalent vaccine. It was the most effective additive, since it protected all the animals included in the experiment from generalized cholera.Conclusion. The use of immunomodulators in anti-cholera vaccination, especially with glucosaminylmuramyl dipeptide, may be one of the approaches to improving the specific prevention of cholera.

Investigation of Anticancer Effects of Apigenin on MOLT-3 Human Leukaemia Cell Line
Authors: Dahlawi Haytham
Published: March 2022

Leukaemia is an aggressive blood malignancies characterized by abnormal accumulation and proliferation of WBCs. Among children younger than 15 years, leukaemia consider the most common type of cancer which accounting 30% of all diagnosed malignancies. The Saudi Cancer Registry (SCR) reported that leukaemia ranked as the 5th type of cancer among both male and female. Because of the undesirable side-effects of the chemotherapy commonly used for leukaemia treatment such as high toxicity and development of secondary cancer, the search for novel and new promising treatment with fewer side-effects and higher therapeutic efficiency is still a priority goal. Using bioactive compounds from natural sources was an effective treatment for a variety of blood cancer. Thus, the aim of this study was to use the bioactive compound Apigenin to treat human lymphoid leukaemia cell line MOLT-3 with three different doses (25, 50, 100 µM) for 24 h. The results of this study showed that cellular proliferation was significantly reduced with 25, 50 and 100 µM Apigenin. In addition, significant increase in apoptotic induction was demonstrated when assessed with Annexin V-FITC/ PI and Caspase-3 substrate based on flow cytometry. Cell cycle arrest was significantly reported at S phase within MOLT-3 cells in a dose response manner. Thus, the finding of this study suggested that Apigenin is a potent and efficient anticancer compound through its activity of blocked cell proliferation, apoptotic induction and cell cycle arrest. However, further studies are required to investigate if the dietary intake of Apigenin might interfere with chemotherapeutic treatment of leukaemia.
“Association of Coronary Collateral Formation and Diabetes Patients with Ischaemic Heart Disease”
Authors: Pathan S. M. Sharif Uddin
Published: March 2022

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex and heterogeneous chronic metabolic disease caused by elevated levels of blood glucose. Although myocardial ischemia is known to be significantly related to the development of coronary collateral vessels (CCVs), there is considerable variation between patients with ischemic heart disease in the presence of collateral development. Methods: This observational study was done in Department of Cardiology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from January to December 2020. Out of 110 patients who had a stenosis of >95% in any major coronary artery in angiograms were included in the study. Of these patients, 35 patients constitute the diabetic group. Remaining 75 patients were non-diabetic. For case-control matching, 35 non-diabetic patients (mean age, 52.03± 8.69 years) were selected randomly and were included in the control group. The CCVs were graded according to the Rentrop scoring system, and the collateral score was calculated by summing the Rentrop numbers of every patient. Results: There was no statistical difference between patients with and without DM in clinical baseline characteristics. The mean number of diseased vessels in the DM group (2.10±0.76) was higher than that in the nondiabetic group (1.63± 0.72 P.017). The mean collateral score was (1.13± 0.86) in the DM group and (1.97± 1.61) in the control group. After confounding variables were controlled for, the collateral score in the diabetic group was significantly different from that in the nondiabetic group (p=0.015). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that CCV development is poorer in patients with DM than in patients without DM. Thus, we can speculate that DM is an important factor affecting CCV development.

As understanding of wellbeing and infection alongside conveyance of value health awareness is premise though wellbeing couldn't care less organizations. Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health problem. The latest estimates showed that there were almost 9 million new cases in 2011 and 1.4 million TB deaths. This is despite the availability of treatment that will cure most cases of TB. India and China combined have almost 40% of the world’s TB cases. 0.3 Million death in India in 2011, 3.1 million prevalence, 2.2 million incidences in India 2011. In India, tuberculosis is more prevalent in adults than in children. It affects 80% of adults at the age group (15-54 years).In India poor persons suffers with tuberculosis. The majority of its victims are migrant laborers, slum area, backward community areas and tribal area. Low living conditions, undernourished small housing and overcrowding are the main reasons for the spread of the disease.

Colposcopic Findings in Patients of Cervical Erosion at Tertiary Center
Authors: Achawal Shruti , Deshpande Ajit
Published: March 2022

Background: India has a population of approximately 450 million women 18 years of age and older who are at a risk of developing cervical cancer. Recent studies state that nearly every year 122844 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and approximately 67477 die from cervical cancer. Cervical cancer ranks as the 2nd most frequent cancer among women in India. Cervical erosion is one of the commonest clinical finding in women attending Gynecology outpatient department for various reasons. Cervical erosion which is an abnormality of the cervical epithelium covering ectocervix, has a varied significance. It could be a premalignant or a malignant lesion. Persistent inflammation leads to increased cellular turnover. Cervical cancer can be prevented by detecting precancerous lesions by screening and treating them in time. Inspite of the overall high incidence and mortality rates, cervical cancer is considered as the most preventable and treatable form of major cancer through early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of pre invasive and invasive disease. Early detection of cervical epithelial abnormality is important as it helps to prevent progression to CIN and invasive cancer thereafter. Aim: To study the colposcopic findings in patients of cervical erosion. Material and methods: A prospective observational study was carried out in the time interval from October 2019 to September 2021 at Rural Medical College, Loni. Women diagnosed to have cervical erosion on per speculum examination were enrolled for the study. A total 140 females were studied. Women attending gynecological Outpatient department for various complaints and diagnosed to have cervical erosion on per speculum examination were enrolled in the study. Colposcopy was done using 3% acetic acid and 50% Lugol’s iodine. Colposcopy was done and it was interpreted using the Reid’s Colposcopic Index which is an objective method of colposcopically grading the severity of premalignant cervical lesions. ................
“Study of Status of Sympathovagal Balance in Offsprings with Family History of Hypertension and in Those without It”
Authors: Biswas Dr. Dalia , Agarwal Dr. Prerna
Published: March 2022

Background: Autonomic functions, sympathetic and vagal/ parasympathetic, are found to be deranged in hypertensive subjects. The derangement of autonomic functions in terms of sympatho-vagal imbalance has also been found in off-springs of hypertensive people. Method: Spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) was recorded in 30 subjects of control group & 30 subjects of case /study group( offsprings of hypertensive parents) before and after Hand Grip Test(HGT). Body mass index (BMI), basal heart rate (BHR), blood pressure (BP) was recorded at the outset. Spectral indices of HRV included Standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), total power (TP), normalized low frequency power (LFnu), normalized high frequency power (HFnu), ratio of low frequency power to high frequency power (LF-HF ratio), mean heart rate (mean RR), square root of the mean squared differences of successive normal to normal intervals (RMSSD) and the number of interval differences of successive NN intervals greater than 50 ms (NN50). Result: In study group SDNN & LF/HF finding was significant which means there is a sympathetic dominant effect. Pre and Posttest HGT and HRV values were found to be significant when study and control groups were compared. This means changes occur in sympathetic variables before actual onset of hypertension. No correlation was seen as regards to HRV & BMI. Conclusion: It can be concluded that offsprings of Hypertensive parents tend to have some degree of autonomic imbalance before the actual onset of essential hypertension.

ان مدينة الفلوجة التي تعاني من سلبيات ولازالت يسودها نفس النمط من نظام شبكة الطرق والشوارع الذي أنتجته المراحل السابقة لتطور المدينة التي تنتظر الحلول اللازمة والمناسبة مما يستدعي التخطيط لتحديث لشبكة طرق وشوارع فيها تستطيع ان تستوعب واقع حال المدينة والتوسعات المقترحة لنموها الحضري اللاحق. تم اختيار شبكة النقل في مدينة الفلوجة لغرض التقييم حيث تم تقسيم الشبكة الى شوارع وتقاطعات وبواقع شارعين رئيسين و احدى عشر شارع قطاعي واحدى عشر شارع شرياني و خمس وعشرون تقاطع. تم تقييم الشبكة بواقع ثلاث محاور المحور الاول هو الانسيابية المرورية ومستوى الخدمة والمحور الثاني كان تقييم الشبكة من ناحية تأثيث الشوارع والتقاطعات بينما المحور الثالث اهتم بتقييم الشبكة من ناحية الاستدامة. تم اعتماد برنامج (HCS 2010 )لتقييم المحور الاول بينما تم تقييم المحور الثاني والثالث اعتمادا على المسح الميداني. بين نتائج المحور الاول ان اغلب اجزاء الشبكة في النصف الشمالي تعاني من مشاكل مرورية وذات مستوى خدمي متدني بينما تكون اغلب اجزاء الشبكة في النصف الجنوبي تكون ذات مسنوى خدمي عالي وتتمتع بانسيابية مرورية عالية. تفتقر اغلب اجزاء شبكة النقل الى التأثيث الصحيح والمناسب لتصميم الطرق ما يسبب الكثير من المشاكل لمستخدمي هذه الشبكة. بالنسبة للمحور الاخير المتعلق بالاستدامة نلاحظ عدم وجود اهتمام من قبل المصممين او صاحبي القرار. تم الاستنتاج ان يجب وجود حلول مرورية وان تكون ذات جدوى اقتصادية لبعض اجزاء الشبكة مما يؤدي الى تحسين اداء الشبكة على مستوى المحاور الثلاثة.
