Published: September 2024

Introduction ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a critical condition affecting many individuals worldwide, posing significant risks to patient health and outcomes. Different types of STEMI, such as anterior wall and inferior wall STEMI, can lead to varying in-hospital outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Understanding these differences is crucial for improving patient care and treatment strategies. This study aimed to compare the in-hospital outcomes of anterior and inferior wall STEMI in patients undergoing PCI at a tertiary care center.  Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study included 70 patients who underwent PCI for either Anterior or inferior wall STEMI at Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital ( CMCTH) and were admitted to the Critical Care Unit (CCU) from February 5th 2021 to March 4th 2022. Anterior wall or inferior wall STEMI was diagnosed using a surface Electrocardiogram (ECG) and in-hospital outcomes were recorded using structured Proforma. Data was entered and analyzed with SPSS-26.  Results Among the 70 patients included in the study, the mean age was 64.50 ± 9.818 years. The majority (77.1%) of patients were male and 22.9% of the patients were female. Among the patients of anterior wall MI who underwent PCI, 11 patients (15.7%) had cardiogenic shock, 21 patients (30.0%) had AKI, 2 patients (2.9%) had CVA, and 2 patients (2.9%) had death.  Conclusion Patients with anterior wall STEMI following PCI had worse in-hospital outcomes compared to those with inferior wall STEMI.
Supercapacitor Performance of in Situ Polymerization for PANI/MnO2-TiO2
Authors: Khalil Sultan Israa , H. Mahmoud Zaid
Published: September 2024

Manganese-titanium oxide particles coated with polyaniline (PANI) have been suggested as a highly favorable electrode material for supercapacitors. The synthesis of MnO2-TiO2 particles was achieved using the sol-gel technique, followed by calcination. The MnO2-TiO2 was mixed with pre-synthesized PANI to create a composite material called PANI/ MnO2-TiO2. The structural composition and purity of the produced materials were verified using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphological analysis conducted using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) revealed that particles are securely attached to the branched-structured PANI, facilitating rapid charge transfer. The electrochemical properties of MnO2-TiO2 and PANI/MnO2-TiO2 were analyzed using cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte. PANI/MnO2-TiO2 demonstrated a substantial increase in specific capacity (1500 C/g) compared to PANI (450 C/g) at 1 A/g. This improvement can be attributed to the enhancement of redox-active sites and the synergistic interaction of the conductive PANI and MnO2-TiO2.

Authors: Kumar B. N. Sandeep , S. Chetan , K. Abhishek , URS S. Yashas , V B. Manjunath
Published: September 2024

Thermal conductivity, a critical material property, can be measured using various methods, each suited to different applications and material types. This study reviews prominent techniques including the steady-state and transient methods. The steady-state methods, such as the guarded hot plate and heat flow meter techniques, involve maintaining a constant temperature gradient and measuring heat flux through the material. In contrast, transient methods, like the laser flash method and transient hot-wire technique, assess thermal conductivity by analyzing temperature changes over time following a brief thermal disturbance. Each method's accuracy, sample requirements, and application scope are discussed, providing insights into selecting the appropriate technique based on material characteristics and measurement conditions. This review aims to guide researchers in choosing optimal methods for accurate thermal conductivity assessment in diverse scientific and industrial contexts.

Published: September 2024

Antibiotic beads represent a compelling treatment method for the treatment and prevention of canine osteomyelitis, as they provide localized antibiotic concentrations at the infection site with minimal systemic toxicity. The therapeutic efficacy of these beads has been demonstrated, highlighting their potential as a valuable local antibiotic therapy. In particular, the introduction of vancomycin - polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) beads is highlighted as a promising new form of local antibiotic therapy. This article focuses on the use of antibiotic-impregnated beads to treat localized bacterial infections in the bones and joints of canines. Typically composed of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), these beads contain antibiotics such as vancomycin, placed directly into the affected area, providing a high antibiotic concentration at the site of infection. These beads were developed for a slow antibiotic release over time; they ensure a constant protective effect against a broad spectrum of bacteria, demonstrating high efficacy and biocompatibility with the animal's body. This localized antibiotic treatment option offers several advantages over systemic antibiotics, such as reduced side effects and improved efficacy. It could be a promising option for the treatment of bone and joint infections in canines.
Drug Design and Drug Discovery
Authors: Maurya Aditya , Tripathi Aditya , Khatoon Afsana , Singh Aishwarya , Kumar Singh Sandeep
Published: September 2024

One of the key forces influencing the advancement of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and pharmacology is the drug industry. The process of finding and creating medications is known as drug discovery. It is a procedure designed to find a substance that has therapeutic value in treating and curing illness. The identification of candidates, synthesis, characterisation, screening, and tests for therapeutic efficacy are all steps in the drug discovery process.A chemical will start the drug development process before going through clinical trials if its efficacy in these tests has been demonstrated. Despite encouraging discoveries and billions dollar investments, the process of developing a new drug is a time-consuming and costly endeavor that is now experiencing a crisis. Currently, only roughly 400 distinct pharmacological targets are targeted by all of the available medicines combined. It is predicted that the number of possible therapeutic targets that could be used in future drug therapy is at least ten times higher.The process of finding a chemical that has therapeutic potential for treating and curing disease is known as drug discovery. Candidate identification, synthesis, characterisation, validation, optimization, screening, and tests for therapeutic efficacy are all steps in this process.Following a compound's demonstration of relevance in theseresearch, the drug discovery process will development before going through clinical trials. A treatment that satisfies all regulatory standards and is safe and effective must go through multiple stages of the new drug development process.Our article's overarching thesis is that the procedure is drawn out, costly, and complex enough that numerous biological targets must be taken into account before a new drug is finally approved for clinical usage, and new research instruments might be required to look into each one.
Analyzing JWST/NIRSpec Hydrogen Line Detections at TWA 27B: Constraining Accretion Properties and Geometry
Authors: Aoyama Yuhiko , Marleau Gabriel-Dominique , Hashimoto Jun
Published: September 2024

Hydrogen lines from forming planets are crucial for understanding planet formation. However, the number of planetary hydrogen line detections is still limited. Recent JWST/NIRSpec observations have detected Paschen and Brackett hydrogen lines at TWA 27 B (2M1207b). Although classified as a planetary- mass companison (PMC) rather than a planet due to its large mass ratio to the central star, TWA 27 B’s hydrogen line emissions are expected to be same as the planetary one, given its small mass (≈5M
J). We aim to constrain the accretion properties and accretion geometry of TWA 27 B, contributing to our understanding of hydrogen-line emission mechanisms common to both PMCs and planets. We conduct spectral fitting of four bright hydrogen lines (Pa-α, Pa-β, Pa-γ, Pa-δ) with an accretion-shock emission model tailored for forming planets. We estimate the mass accretion rate at

f on the planetary surface (f
f ≲ 5 × 10−4). This finding suggests that magnetospheric accretion is occurring at TWA 27 B. Additionally, we carry out a comparative analysis of hydrogen-line emission color to identify the emission mechanism, but the associated uncertainties proved too large for definitive conclusions. This underscores the need for further high-precision observational studies to elucidate these emission mechanisms fully.
An Image-based Blind Search for Fast Radio Bursts in 88 hr of Data from the EoR0 Field, with the Murchison Widefield Array
Authors: Kemp Ian , Tingay Steven , Midgley Stuart , Mitchell Daniel
Published: September 2024

This work is part of ongoing efforts to detect fast radio bursts using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) in a spectral window below 300 MHz. We used an image-based method based on the pilot study of Tingay et al., scaled up via massively parallel processing using a commercial supercomputer. We searched 87.6 hr of 2 s snapshot images, each covering 1165 square degrees of the EoR0 field, over a dispersion measure range of 170–1035 pc cm−3. The large amount of data necessitated the construction of a series of filters to classify and reject the large number of false positives. Our search was more sensitive than any previous blind search using the MWA telescope, but we report no fast radio bursts detections, a result which is consistent with the extrapolation into the low-frequency domain of the results of M. Sokolowski et al. We obtain upper bounds on the event rate ranging from <1783 sky−1 day−1 at a fluence of 392 Jy ms, to <31 sky−1 day−1 at 8400 Jy ms, for our spectral window of 167–198 MHz. Our method was shown to be computationally efficient and scalable by the two or three orders of magnitude required to seriously test the model of Sokolowski et al. Our process is especially sensitive to detections of satellites and meteor trails and may find applications in the identification of these transients. We comment on future surveys using this method, with both the MWA and the SKA.
Anachronirisme
Authors: Dumora Florence
Published: September 2024

En donnant à cette étude le titre d’« anachronirisme », on se propose d’explorer sous plusieurs angles les rapports du rêve et du temps. Seront envisagés successivement l’ubiquité temporelle du rêve, message prophétique ou archaïque ; la polychronie , mettant en présence des époques incompatibles ; la désynchronisation de la durée onirique et du temps physique du sommeil, objet des tentatives de chronométrage ; l’ana-chronisme lié au caractère non chronologique du rêve quand on le suppose monté à rebours , voire en parallèle  ; enfin l’anachronisme défini comme trompe-l’œil temporel dans les conceptions qui soustraient franchement le rêve à l’ordre du temps. Loin de prétendre à une histoire des traités du rêve au temps, l’article esquisse un simple florilège de questions à travers les siècles qui valent encore. Le geste lui-même anachronique du florilège n’est peut-être pas sans rapport avec le projet de faire de la réflexion sur le rêve un des paradigmes de la notion d’anachronisme.

Expressions personnelles et collectives du sacré des Noirs dans l’Algérie coloniale (1830-1870)
Authors: Lançon Daniel
Published: September 2024

Plusieurs dizaines de milliers de Noirs africains issus d’une traite transsaharienne multiséculaire habitaient dans l’Algérie colonisée par les Français à partir de 1830. Charles Nodier, Eugène Fromentin, Augustine Girault-Lesourd et Louise Vallory se sont particulièrement intéressés, dans leurs récits de voyage, à leurs rituels et à leurs cérémonies : danses, sacrifices d’animaux, transes à visée thérapeutique orchestrées par des prêtresses noires utilisant parfums et objets consacrés, séances de possession par des « génies » ou exorcismes rythmés par certains instruments de musique. Ces manifestations spectaculaires, suscitant souvent la stupéfaction voire l’effroi, révèlent, jusque sur les bords de la Méditerranée, une forme de résistance face aux déshumanisations subies, une Afrique en quelque sorte reconstituée, matériellement et symboliquement, à Alger ou dans d’autres villes du Nord.
Fenêtres sur le panorama. Les équivocités de la création zolienne
Authors: Vaneynde Aurélia
Published: September 2024

Pour interroger le rapport que la création entretient avec le visible chez Zola et comprendre ce rapport dans sa complexité, nous mettons la fenêtre, ouverture sur le monde, à l’épreuve du déploiement panoramique de ce monde. Les « fenêtres sur panorama » font droit aux ambivalences de deux dispositifs (fenêtres et panorama) pris entre distance et immersion, entre séparation et lien, entre le faire écran et le laisser voir. Notre analyse de trois romans – Une page d’amour , La Joie de vivre , La Terre – révèle trois modalités de l’interaction de ces deux dispositifs chez le romancier : la fenêtre qui risque de s’effacer à mesure que la vision panoramique la déborde ; la fenêtre qui fait écran lorsque le panorama se heurte à ses limites (par exemple face à l’invisible de la nuit) ; et, enfin, la fenêtre affirmée comme lieu de création d’un panorama fantasmé.
Conceptualizing the Influence of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging on Professional Identity in Nursing
Authors: Clark Cynthia M. , Davis Sandra , Kuhl Lynne , Priddy Kristen D. , Robinson Marlo D.
Published: September 2024

Background

Professional identity in nursing (PIN) is a multifaceted construct that evolves throughout one's nursing career. As new knowledge about PIN emerges, the influence of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) becomes increasingly vital in shaping a nurse's identity.

Method

Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory is used to illustrate the complex, reciprocal, and intersecting influences of DEIB in the transformational process of becoming a nurse.

Results

The authors provide an in-depth analysis of the nexus of DEIB and PIN conceptual model, examine reciprocal relationships between DEIB and the individual and collective PIN, offer a detailed case study for the application of DEIB and PIN, and make recommendations for implementing the conceptual model.

Conclusion

The model may be used to integrate DEIB and PIN by nurses in all settings.

This review delves into the biophysical mechanisms underlying nanomaterial-induced DNA damage, highlighting recent insights, current challenges, and future research directions. We explore how the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials influence their interaction with DNA, the pathways through which they induce damage, and the biophysical methods employed to study these processes.
Synchronization issue of uncertain time-delay systems based on flexible impulsive control
Authors: Li Biwen , Huang Qiaoping
Published: September 2024

This paper discusses a synchronization issue of uncertain time-delay systems via flexible delayed impulsive control. A new Razumikhin-type inequality is presented, considering adjustable parameters the $ \varpi(t) $, which relies on flexible impulsive gain. For the uncertain time-delay systems where delay magnitude is not constrained to impulsive intervals, sufficient conditions for global exponential synchronization (GES) are established. Furthermore, based on Lyapunov theory, a new differential inequality and linear matrix inequality design, and a flexible impulsive control method is introduced through using the variable impulsive gain and time-varying delays. It is interesting to find that uncertain time-delay systems can maintain GES by adjusting the impulsive gain and impulsive delay. Finally, two simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the derived results.
Ternary cyclotomic numbers and ternary Jacobi sums
Authors: Tang Zhichao , Fan Xiang
Published: September 2024

Cyclotomic numbers and Jacobi sums, introduced over two centuries ago by Gauss and Jacobi, respectively, are pivotal in number theory and find wide applications in combinatorial designs, coding theory, cryptography, and information theory. The cyclotomic problem, focused on determining all cyclotomic numbers, or equivalently evaluating all Jacobi sums of a given order, has been a subject of extensive research. This paper explores their trivariate counterparts, termed "ternary cyclotomic numbers" and "ternary Jacobi sums", highlighting the fundamental properties that mirror those of the classical cases. We show the ternary versions of Fourier series expansions, two symmetry properties, and a summation equation. We further demonstrate that ternary Jacobi sums, with at least one trivial variable, can be evaluated in terms of classical Jacobi sums of the same order. These properties are established through elementary methods that parallel those utilized in classical cases. Based on these properties, then we offer explicit calculations for all ternary Jacobi sums and ternary cyclotomic numbers of order $ e = 2 $, and near-complete results for order $ e = 3 $, with the exception of the elusive integer $ J_{3}(1, 1, 2) $ for us.
Pricing geometric average Asian options in the mixed sub-fractional Brownian motion environment with Vasicek interest rate model
Authors: Wang Xinyi , Wang Chunyu
Published: September 2024

Considering the characteristics of long-range correlations in financial markets, the issue of valuing geometric average Asian options is examined, assuming that the variations of the underlying asset follow the mixed sub-fractional Brownian motion, and the dynamics of short-term interest rate satisfies the mixed sub-fractional Vasicek model. Based on the principle of no arbitrage, the definite solution of PDE of a zero-coupon bond for geometric average Asian options under the circumstance of the mixed sub-fractional is given by the delta hedging technique. The derivation of the explicit pricing formula for geometric average Asian options with fixed strike price is achieved through the utilization of multiple variable substitutions. Furthermore, we perform numerical calculations to analyze the performance of the model.
Lie (Jordan) $ \sigma- $centralizer at the zero products on generalized matrix algebra
Authors: Raza Mohd Arif , Almehmadi Huda Eid
Published: September 2024

Given a unital commutative ring $ \mathscr{R} $, $ (\mathscr{A}, \mathscr{B}) $ and $ (\mathscr{B}, \mathscr{A}) $ are bimodules of $ \mathscr{M} $ and $ \mathscr{N} $, respectively, where $ \mathscr{A}, \mathscr{B} $ are unitals $ \mathscr{R}- $algebras. The $ \mathscr{R}- $algebra $ \mathscr{G} = $ $ \mathscr{G}(\mathscr{A}, \mathscr{M}, \mathscr{N}, \mathscr{B}) $ is a generalized matrix algebra described by the Morita context $ (\mathscr{A}, \mathscr{B}, \mathscr{M}, \mathscr{N}, \zeta_{\mathscr{M}\mathscr{N}}, \chi_{\mathscr{N}\mathscr{M}}) $. The present study investigated the structure of Lie (Jordan) $ \sigma- $centralizers at the zero products on order two generalized matrix algebra and established that each Jordan $ \sigma- $centralizer at the zero products is a $ \sigma- $centralizer at the zero product on order two generalized matrix algebra. We also provided sufficient and necessary conditions under which a Lie $ \sigma- $centralizer at the zero product is proper on an order two generalized matrix algebra.
Observer-based robust preview tracking control for a class of continuous-time Lipschitz nonlinear systems
Authors: Yu Xiao , Hua Yan , Lu Yanrong
Published: September 2024

In this paper, a novel observer-based robust preview tracking controller design method is proposed for a class of continuous-time Lipschitz nonlinear systems with external disturbances and unknown states. First, a state observer is designed to reconstruct unknown system states. Second, using differentiation, the state lifting technique, the differential mean value theorem, and several ingenious mathematical manipulations, an augmented error system (AES) containing the previewable information of a reference signal is constructed, thereby transforming the tracking control problem into a robust $ H_{\infty} $ control problem. Based on linear parameter-varying (LPV) system theory, a sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of a closed-loop system with a robust $ H_{\infty} $ performance level is established in terms of the linear matrix inequality (LMI). Furthermore, a tracking controller, which includes observer-based feedback control, integral control, and preview feedforward compensation, is established for the original system. In particular, the tracking controller design is simplified by computing the observer and tracking controller gains simultaneously via only a one-step LMI algorithm. Finally, numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed controller leads to superior improvement in the output tracking performance compared with the existing methods.

Published: September 2024

The prediction of response to breast cancer therapy involves assessing the effectiveness of treatment by comparing biomarker levels before and after treatment. Deep learning (DL) models can provide a non-invasive and early way to evaluate the response to therapy based on medical imaging analysis. We conducted this systematic review to investigate the current DL based methods for predicting breast cancer therapy response using medical imaging. This review included 19 studies based on the PRISMA methodology. Some selected studies personalized the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture to improve its performance in handling medical images, while others used pre-trained models. The accuracy rates range from 0.73 to 0.90, and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) reaches 0.98. Our study’s findings suggest that the performance of these approaches varies depending on various medical imaging modalities, the nature of the DL architecture used, and the fusion of training data sources. However, several challenges related to their explainability and generalizability arise. Therefore, it is necessary to develop larger datasets and broaden the scope of current studies to include multi-center studies.
