One of the most agonising injuries is a burn. Burn wounds are classified according on the depth and severity of the burn. One of the most common and difficult issues faced by burn patients is the spread of infection, which can impede the healing process. Traditional treatments for burn wounds utilising natural resources are one of the best options since they reduce the risk of infection greatly. To put it another way, natural resources are cost-effective and free of additional issues. There are many cutting-edge treatments for burn wounds available, but many can have serious side effects and toxicities, thus there is a need for natural solutions to limit the risk of subsequent issues. Traditional and herbal therapies for the treatment of burns caused by acid attacks and domestic abuse by boiling water have been highlighted in this review because of the growing public concern about the safety of women in our country. The herbal resource is the focus of this article. In an effort to better understand acid and boiling burn wounds' biology and management, here is a review and exploration of these wounds. For the better management of the above-mentioned situations, further scientific research on the natural resources indicated will be advantageous.

CFD Analysis into the Effect of using Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) on Open and Ducted Propellers, Case Study with Propeller B-Series and Kaplan-Series
Authors: Berlian Arswendo Adietya  , I Ketut Aria Pria Utama  , Wasis Dwi Aryawan  , Sutiyo
Published: May 2022

The use of propeller boss cap fins (PBCF) on open B-series propeller have been known to reduce wake effect behind the propeller thus increase torque and thrust of propeller, whilst the use of Kaplan-series propeller is successful to improve the quality of flow around the propeller blades hence increase the propeller efficiency. The current work is carried out to investigate the effect of combining PBCF and ducted on B-series and Kaplan-series propellers to discover further advantages of using the two types of energy saving device (ESD) tools. The study is carried out numerically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach which is based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes Equations (RANSE) together with the use of k-epsilon turbulence modelling. Overall results show that the use of Kaplan-series with combination ducted and PBCF can even further improve the thrust, torque, and efficiency of propeller.
Traffic Dataset for Dynamic Routing Algorithm in Traffic Simulation
Authors: Zhang Zhemin , De Luca Gennaro , Archambault Brian , Chavez Juan , Rice Brandon
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this research is to create a simulated environment for teaching algorithms, big data processing, and machine learning. The environment is similar to Google Maps, with the capacity of finding the fastest path between two points in dynamic traffic situations. However, the system is significantly simplified for educational purposes. Students can choose different traffic patterns and program a car to navigate through the traffic dynamically based on the changing traffic. The environments used in the project are VIPLE (Visual IoT/Robotics Programming Language Environment) and a traffic simulator developed in the Unity game engine. This paper focuses on creating realistic traffic data for the traffic simulator and implementing dynamic routing algorithms in VIPLE. The traffic data is generated from the recorded real traffic data published on the Arizona Maricopa County website. Based on the generated traffic data, VIPLE programs are developed to implement the traffic simulation with support for dynamic changing data.

No Redshift Evolution of Galaxies’ Dust Temperatures Seen from 0 < z < 2
Authors: Drew Patrick M. , Casey Caitlin M.
Published: May 2022

Some recent literature has claimed there to be an evolution in galaxies’ dust temperatures toward warmer (or colder) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) between low and high redshift. These conclusions are driven by both theoretical models and empirical measurement. Such claims sometimes contradict one another and are prone to biases in samples or SED fitting techniques. What has made direct comparisons difficult is that there is no uniform approach to fitting galaxies’ infrared/millimeter SEDs. Here we aim to standardize the measurement of galaxies’ dust temperatures with a python-based SED fitting procedure, MCIRSED.

We draw on reference data sets observed by Infrared Astronomical Satellite, Herschel, and Scuba-2 to test for redshift evolution out to z ∼ 2. We anchor our work to the L

peak plane, where there is an empirically observed anticorrelation between IR luminosity and rest-frame peak wavelength (an observational proxy for luminosity-weighted dust temperature) such that

IR from 0 < z < 2 with >99.99% confidence. Our finding does not preclude evolution in dust temperatures at fixed stellar mass, which is expected from a nonevolving L

IR is likely driven by variation in galaxies’ dust geometries and sizes, and it does not evolve. Testing for L

peak evolution toward higher redshift (z ∼ 5−6) requires better sampling of galaxies’ dust SEDs near their peaks (observed ∼200–600 μm) with ≲1 mJy sensitivity. This poses a significant challenge to current instrumentation.
Investigating the Stability of Mass Transfer in Neutron Star–helium White Dwarf Binaries
Authors: Chen Hai-Liang , Tauris Thomas M. , Chen Xuefei , Han Zhanwen
Published: May 2022

Neutron star–helium white dwarf (NS+He WD) binaries are important evolutionary products of close-orbit binary star systems. They are often observed as millisecond pulsars and may continue evolving into ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) and continuous gravitational wave (GW) sources that will be detected by space-borne GW observatories, such as LISA, TianQin, and Taiji. Nevertheless, the stability of NS+He WD binaries undergoing mass transfer has not been well studied and is still under debate. In this paper, we model the evolution of NS+He WD binaries with WD masses ranging from 0.17–0.45 M
⊙, applying the detailed stellar evolution code mesa. Contrary to previous studies based on hydrodynamics, we find that apparently all NS+He WD binaries undergo stable mass transfer. We find for such UCXBs that the larger the WD mass, the larger the maximum mass-transfer rate and the smaller the minimum orbital period during their evolution. Finally, we demonstrate numerically and analytically that there is a tight correlation between WD mass and GW frequency for UCXBs, independent of NS mass.

Jewett’s Trees
Authors: Roudeau Cécile
Published: May 2022

A-t-on perdu de vue les arbres du pays des sapins pointus? La critique sur The Country of the Pointed Firs a peu suivi l’injonction du titre qui pointe avec insistence vers lesdits sapins. Cet essai se propose de commencer à combler cette lacune en se mettant à l’écoute des arbres qui bruissent obstinément dans le texte de Jewett. Dans The Country of the Pointed Firs , le bois est une ressource — artistique, figurale, économique. En ce sens, Jewett embrasse le paradoxe d’une région, la Nouvelle-Angleterre, qui tire sa grandeur de la déforestation tout en étant, au cœur de la nation et de l’empire, le fer de lance des régulations environnementales. Le texte participe de l’exploitation qu’il dénonce. Pourtant, les arbres y sont à peine une catégorie. Le roman s’appuie sur la singularité de rencontres avec des arbres singuliers à partir desquelles se construit une parenté. Au-delà d’un décentrement de l’humain, The Country of the Pointed Firs brouille la frontière entre des formes de vie que le texte fait advenir, par, et en tant que, relation. Conjugant au présent certaines ontologies amérindiennes, The Country of the Pointed Firs synchronise temporalités et épistémologies, et exige que nous lisions autrement — non pas tant « comme » un arbre, mais « avec » l’arbre, une continuité qui n’exclut pas la différence.
“ I remember dates. Numbers ”: All the many mistakes in No Country for Old Men
Authors: Trotignon Béatrice
Published: May 2022

Prenant au mot le personnage de Carson Wells dans No Country for Old Men , qui dit avoir la mémoire des dates et des chiffres ainsi que l’œil pour des détails comme les étages manquants d’un bâtiment, cet article se propose de relever quelques incohérences dans le roman en termes de géographie et de technologie. On peut les interpréter comme une stratégie mise en œuvre par McCarthy pour saper la forme générique du thriller mais aussi pour mettre en exergue les erreurs de jugement, notamment celles du personnage principal, le sheriff Bell. C’est sa voix qui structure le roman et que les lecteurs sont encouragés à écouter avec attention, à la recherche d’indices enfouis.
« Well! Why not? » : réalisme magique et souveraineté narrative dans Carpentaria d’Alexis Wright
Authors: Le Guellec-Minel Anne
Published: May 2022

L’article explore à nouveaux frais l’intérêt de la catégorie du réalisme magique pour l’étude de Carpentaria . Il commence par revenir sur ce que Wright et d’autres artistes aborigènes contemporains ont pu définir comme le « réalisme aborigène », pensé comme un mode de résistance à la politique d’effacement de la civilisation aborigène, avant d’examiner différentes acceptions du réalisme magique. Il est incontestable qu’une pensée trop restrictive de la littérature, comme simple expression d’une spécificité culturelle, d’une contestation politique, ou encore du traumatisme issu de la violence coloniale, ne rendrait pas justice à l’inventivité créatrice de Wright. Notre étude du roman réévaluera donc la tension conceptuelle qui est au cœur du réalisme magique, et qui semble de nature à éclairer l’extraordinaire richesse et complexité du roman, et dessine un remarquable espace de liberté dans un paysage social, culturel et environnemental bien sombre.
Que reste-t-il de l’Amérique jacksonienne ? Nouveaux regards sur la jeune République étatsunienne
Authors: Roy Michaël
Published: May 2022

Cet article revient sur la conférence en ligne donnée par l’historien Daniel Feller en juillet 2020 sous l’égide de la Society for Historians of the Early American Republic (SHEAR). Intitulée « Andrew Jackson in the Age of Donald Trump », la communication de Feller portait sur l’instrumentalisation politique de la figure de Jackson par Trump, ses partisans et ses pourfendeurs. Pour des raisons liées à son contenu autant qu’à sa rhétorique, ainsi qu’au contexte dans lequel elle a été prononcée, cette communication a donné lieu à une vigoureuse controverse au sein de la profession historienne. On se propose ici d’en éclairer les enjeux historiographiques. L’article montre comment le champ des études sur la période jacksonienne s’est reconfiguré au cours des dernières décennies, et explique ce que la communication de Daniel Feller a manqué, délibérément ou non, de cette reconfiguration.
L’art numérique, à la frontière entre le réel et le virtuel

En quête de sensations et d’émotions fortes, le public cherche de plus en plus à faire l’expérience de l’art numérique, qui brouille les frontières entre le réel et le virtuel. Les différents savoir-faire se renouvellent sans cesse, créant de nouvelles opportunités créatrices et renforçant le lien entre le spectateur et l’œuvre d’art. Dans un monde en voie de digitalisation, l’art numérique est porteur d’espoir et de nouvelles perspectives, tant pour le grand public que pour les artistes.
L’invention de la guerre virtuelle
Authors: Goya Michel
Published: May 2022

La guerre que l’on se prépare à faire est toujours une guerre virtuelle ; c’est une anticipation que l’on reproduit sur les terrains d’exercice sans jamais pouvoir l’imiter parfaitement. La difficulté est encore plus grande lorsqu’on perçoit à partir du milieu du xix e  siècle que sous la poussée de changements considérables et rapides dans les sociétés de l’époque, cette guerre future sera forcément très différente de la dernière que l’on a menée. On met donc en place en France après 1871, à l’imitation de l’armée prussienne, toute une structure de simulation expérimentale de la guerre dont on espère qu’elle permettra de se préparer au mieux au grand conflit futur. Le résultat concret est très mitigé, mais cet effort aura au moins permis de former une génération d’officiers à analyser et débattre, ce qui sera essentiel pour obtenir la victoire.
Le rôle de la théorie dans les opérations militaires
Authors: Gué Christophe
Published: May 2022

Il n’est pas de réflexion théorique, par nature virtuelle, qui ne s’enracine dans le réel. Et celle-ci est plus que jamais nécessaire, car les circonstances et l’environnement dans lesquels doivent être appliqués les principes de la guerre se complexifient sans cesse, tandis que les effets des armes, dans un monde de plus en plus interdépendant, deviennent incalculables. Il est cependant illusoire d’en attendre un catalogue de normes et de processus bien définis apportant une solution à chaque problème. Ce dont a besoin le commandement, c’est d’un modèle qui l’aide à décider et à agir à bon escient, tout en l’incitant à se remettre en cause et à se montrer imaginatif et créatif.
Le commandement militaire au défi de l’intelligence artificielle
Authors: Marchand Thierry
Published: May 2022

S’il est un sujet qui fait l’unanimité, c’est bien la place centrale que prendra à très court terme l’intelligence artificielle dans nos vies quotidiennes. Imaginons alors un instant ce que cette mutation technique et comportementale pourrait apporter à la bataille de demain. Au-delà des nouvelles potentialités des capacités, des armes et des organisations, se pose en réalité une question bien plus fondamentale, celle de la manière de penser l’affrontement. En d’autres termes, la façon de concevoir et de conduire une manœuvre militaire dans un univers où les grandes lois de la guerre ne s’imposeront plus d’elles-mêmes. Quelles qualités mentales et intellectuelles faudra-t-il alors forger et entretenir pour commander efficacement dans un espace qui aura peu à voir avec celui que nous connaissons aujourd’hui ? Les temps qui viennent imposent de faire évoluer le commandement militaire d’une force de conviction vers une force d’inspiration.

Le champ lexico-sémantique de l’eau en ḥassāniyya et en zénaga. Héritages, emprunts et innovations lexicales
Authors: Taine-Cheikh Catherine
Published: May 2022

Si l’eau est rare dans le désert, le lexique relatif à l’eau est plutôt riche en ḥassāniyya. Il présente de nombreuses particularités qui, pour une part, trouvent leur origine dans les contacts avec le substrat berbère zénaga. L’article étudie le lexique des deux langues en parallèle et le compare aux variétés qui leur sont proches afin d’identifier les emprunts, la langue source (si possible) et les innovations (partagées ou non). La prise en compte des emplois métaphoriques et le recueil de nombreux proverbes viennent enrichir l’étude sémantique du lexique. L’article comprend trois parties. La première traite de l’eau à l’état naturel. La suivante est consacrée aux puits, qui jouent un rôle central pour les bédouins. La dernière porte sur le puisage et la consommation de l’eau.

Comparison of Face-down Positioning Durations Following Silicone Oil Tamponade
Authors: Zubricky Ryan D. , Platt Sean M.
Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVE:

To analyze the rate and timing of retinal redetachments and other complications following pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment repair with silicone oil tamponade and the effect of face-down positioning duration on these endpoints.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A retrospective study was performed on patients with retinal detachment repair via pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade between 2015 and 2020. Surgery was performed by 10 physicians associated with a private retina practice in Cleveland, Ohio. Duration of postoperative face-down positioning was noted and patients were grouped by short (≤6 days) or long (≥7 days) durations. Outcome variables were retinal re-detachment, epiretinal membrane formation, cataract formation, and other complications. Timing and frequency of outcomes were noted and statistical analysis was performed.

RESULTS:

The study was composed of 227 eyes. The mean age of patients was 62.09±13.65 years with 143 (63.00%) male and 84 (37.00%) female. Of the initial detachments, 63 (27.88%) were macula-on and 163 (72.12%) were macula-off. Overall, 128 (56.39%) patients were given instructions for face-down positioning for 6 days or less and 99 (43.61%) patients for 7 days or more. Retinal redetachment was seen in 42.19% of patients with face-down positioning ≤6 days and 29.29% of patients with face-down positioning ≥7 days (
P
= .045). No significant difference was found in epiretinal membrane formation or cataract formation (
P
>.05).

CONCLUSION:

There was a lower rate of redetachment in patients who kept a face-down position for ≥7 days compared with ≤6 days. Further study to determine causality between duration of postoperative face-down positioning and retinal redetachment is recommended.

Published: May 2022

In our previous work, we implemented a simulation system to solve the node placement problem in WMNs considering Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Distributed Genetic Algorithm (DGA), called WMN-PSODGA. In this paper, we compare Chi-square and Normal distributions of mesh clients for different router replacement methods. The router replacement methods considered are Constriction Method (CM), Random Inertia Weight Method (RIWM), Linearly Decreasing Inertia Weight Method (LDIWM), Linearly Decreasing Vmax Method (LDVM) and Rational Decrement of Vmax Method (RDVM). The simulation results show that for both distributions, the mesh routers cover all mesh clients for all router replacement methods. In terms of load balancing, Normal distribution shows better results than Chi-square. The best router replacement method for this distribution is LDIWM. Thus, the best scenario is the Normal distribution of mesh clients with LDIWM as a router replacement method.

However, Deep Q-Learning does not have a unified method for solving certain problems because different problems require specific settings and parameters. This paper proposes a Deep Q-Network with Experience Optimization for Atari’s “Space Invaders” environment called DQN-EO. Training and testing results are presented. The performance evaluation results show that while using the proposed algorithm the agent is better at avoiding enemy bullets by 37.7% (longer lifetime) and destroying enemy ships by 14.5% (higher score).
Hybrid Computational Intelligence System for Fashion Design
Authors: Sajja Priti Srinivas
Published: May 2022

The domain of fashion design evolves continuously and is highly personalised, demanding intelligent and customised recommendation. The traditional artificial intelligence-based systems offer solutions based on stored knowledge; hence they can be quickly obsolete and require high effort. To meet the fashion designers’ needs and provide tailor-made recommendations effectively, a hybrid genetic-fuzzy system is proposed with interactive fitness functions. The system is based on generic hybrid architecture using fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm, which can be used to evolve various products in different domains and tested with interactive fuzzy fitness functions. The design of the generic architecture meets the research gap identified through an in-depth literature survey. To prove the utility of the architecture, an experiment is carried out showing encoding scheme, genetic operators, fuzzy membership functions, and fuzzy rules. The results are also discussed, along with the comparison, advantages, applications, and possible future enhancements.

Recycling of Waste Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics (GFRP) via Pyrolysis with Sodium Hydroxide using Microwave Heating
Authors: Takaaki Wajima , Miyagawa Masayuki
Published: May 2022

Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) are composite materials with high strength and flame retardancy, and the disposal process is expensive to cause illegal dumping. Therefore, new recycling technology of waste GFRP is desired. In this study, recycling of waste GFRP via pyrolysis with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) under an inert atmosphere using microwave heating was attempted by carbonization of resin and conversion of glass fiber into soluble sodium silicate. The pyrolysis behavior of GFRP, the characteristics of the obtained residue, and the silica extraction into the solution were compared for microwave heating and conventional heating. In both heatings, the carbonization of the resin and the conversion of the glass fiber into soluble sodium silicate were confirmed by pyrolysis with NaOH, and the sample after the pyrolysis treatment can be pulverized into a powdery residue by washing the solution without mechanical crushing. In comparison with conventional heating, microwave heating could reduce the time for heat treatment (41.3% reduction), to reduce the energy consumption (75% reduction), suggesting that microwave heating can provide more efficient treatment.

Authors: Shetty Kannappa V. , Amaresha Anekal C. , Bamney Urmila , Rajkumar Ravi Philip , Srivastava Prerna , Mahesh G.
Published: May 2022

Background:

COVID-19 has a significant biopsychosocial impact on the lives of people who are infected, with the stigma associated with the illness being one of the major issues. However, the level of stigma based on demographics, gender differences, hospital-based or home-based care is yet to be explored. Hence, this study aimed to infer the level of stigma between these groups in the urban district of south India.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study recruited 50 participants who were recently infected with COVID-19 and were receiving either hospital or home-based care. The stigma was assessed using a standardized questionnaire which has four domains. MannWhitney U test was conducted to analyze the data.

Results:

Median age is 54 years and the majority of the participants are male (74%). The mean score of enacted stigma subscale was 4.48, disclosure fear was 2.34, internalized stigma was 2.82, perceived externalized stigma was 7.32 and the total stigma mean score was 17. The perceived externalized stigma subscale was higher in males (7.57 ± 5.96) when compared to females 6.62 ± 5.53. Total stigma scores were higher for males 17.2 ± 10.1 when compared to females 16.2 ± 10.5. The total stigma score was more (17 ± 10.3) among home isolated COVID patients as compared to hospitalized patients (16.9 ± 10.2).

Conclusion:

Increased levels of stigma among COVID-19 patients have various important psychosocial implications. This study highlights the need for larger prospective cohort studies to further understand stigma in the context of COVID-19.

Authors: Jacob Mathew , Rajathi P. , Mathew Melwin , Fenn Saramma Mathew
Published: May 2022

Papilliferous keratoameloblastoma is an extremely rare variant of ameloblastoma, a benign odontogenic tumor, with only seven cases reported in the English language literature. This variant presents with the metaplastic transformation of stellate reticulum-like cells to the extent of forming papillary structures exhibiting superficial keratinization of varying thickness. This paper describes the pathognomonic macroscopic features of this tumor observed during gross examination under the stereo zoom microscope that differentiate it from the other odontogenic tumors which have not been explored in the previously documented cases. Also, in this paper, a detailed comparison of the macroscopic features observed under the stereo zoom microscope during gross examination with the microscopic features of the histologic section has been described proving to be useful in the histological differential diagnosis of the keratinizing variants of ameloblastoma.

Authors: Bhaskaran Aparna , Babu Mahesh , Abhilash B. , Sudhakar N. A. , Dixitha V.
Published: May 2022

PURPOSE:

The aim of this study was to compare the visual acuity (VA) by smartphone-based applications – EyeChart and the Peek Acuity to the standard Snellen chart to explore the possibility of using them as an alternative in tele-ophthalmology in the current COVID-19 pandemic.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

An analytical type of observational study was done on 360 eyes of 184 patients above 18 years of age. Patients with VA <6/60 and gross ocular pathology were excluded from the study. VA measured by these three methods was converted to logMAR scale for ease of statistical analysis. One-way analysis of variance with post Tukey HSD was used to compare the VA measured by these three methods.

RESULTS:

There was no statistically significant difference between VA measured using the smartphone-based apps (EyeChart and Peek Acuity) and the Snellen chart (F = 2.5411, P = 0.7925) in 360 eyes assessed. VA measured by Peek Acuity (P = 0.5225) was more comparable to Snellen chart than EyeChart (P = 0.4730). Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) demonstrated a strong positive correlation for EyeChart (ICC: 0.982, P < 0.001) and Peek Acuity (ICC: 0.980, P < 0.001) with Snellen chart. A Bland–Altman difference plot showed good limits of agreement for both EyeChart and Peek Acuity with Snellen chart. In subgroup analysis, VA measured by Peek Acuity was not statistically different from Snellen in any subgroups, but in EyeChart, it was statistically different in emmetropes.

CONCLUSION:

VA measured by smartphone apps (EyeChart and Peek Acuity) was comparable with traditional Snellen chart and can be used as an effective, reliable, and feasible alternative to assess VA in tele-ophthalmology.
