Esta investigación tuvo por objetivo la caracterización bioquímica y la identificación de filogrupos en cepas de Escherichia coli, de heces de terneros con diarrea, mediante el método de Clermont. Se recogieron treinta y dos muestras de ocho rebaños del caserío Tartar Grande, distrito Baños del Inca, región Cajamarca, Perú. Mediante el crecimiento en agar MacConkey-MUG fueron seleccionadas trece muestras caracterizándose bioquímicamente mediante kit EnteroPluri®-Test e identificadas molecularmente mediante amplificación del gen uidA mediante la técnica de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR); se tipificó el filogrupo por PCR cuádruplex de Clermont. Las cepas locales aisladas mostraron un perfil bioquímico fermentadoras de sorbitol y glucosa permitiendo agruparlas e identificarlas en cinco grupos (códigos 71340; 71350; 51340; 61740 y 61340); además se amplificó el gen uidA que codifica la enzima beta-glucuronidasa propias del linaje de E. coli. La identificación del grupo filogenético permitió observar que están agrupadas en el grupo B1 (69,23 %), F (15,38 %), además los grupos A (7,69 %) y D o E (7,69 %) se distribuyen proporcionalmente en todas las muestras analizadas, se logró mediante amplificación de los genes arpA, chuA, yjaA, TspE4.C2. Las cepas locales aisladas de heces de terneros con diarrea representan poblaciones bacterianas naturalizadas y adaptadas al nicho ecológico de Cajamarca, teniendo la ganadería regional como principal fuente de alimentación las pasturas, posiblemente la contaminación de estas se traduce en un importante medio de transmisión en terneros para la presentación de colibacilosis, ya que estas cepas albergan la mayor proporción de genes de virulencia.

Authors: Hengdong Zhu Hengdong Zhu , Hengdong Zhu Ting Yang , Ting Yang Yingcang Ma , Yingcang Ma Xiaofei Yang
Published: August 2022

In this paper, we propose a new Multi-view Re-weighted Sparse Subspace Clustering with Intact Low-rank Space Learning (ILrS-MRSSC) method, trying to find a sparse representation of the complete space of information. Specifically, this method integrates the complementary information inherent in multiple angles of the data, learns a complete space of potential low-rank representation, and constructs a sparse information matrix to reconstruct the data. The correlation between multi-view learning and subspace clustering is strengthened to the greatest extent, so that the subspace representation is more intuitive and accurate. The optimal solution of the model is solved by the augmented lagrangian multiplier (ALM) method of alternating direction minimal. Experiments on multiple benchmark data sets verify the effec-tiveness of this method.

Published: August 2022

In the scenario of node failure in mobile multi-agent, Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) rout-ing protocol fails in network information transmission due to the damage of communication link. In addi-tion, the existing AODV multipath routing protocol node load balancing mechanism is imperfect. In order to solve the low network survivability caused by the above problems, an improved responsive multipath routing protocol MD_AODV (Multipath Destroy-resistance AODV) is proposed. The protocol is opti-mized in three aspects: multi-channel concurrency mechanism, node load balancing mechanism and shortest path maintenance mechanism. The simulation analysis of the modified AODV multipath routing protocol is realized on OPNENT simulation platform. The simulation results show that compared with AODV protocol, the improved multipath routing protocol can enhance the utilization of network re-sources and has better link redundancy. Moreover, the modified routing protocol not only enhances the reliability and fault tolerance of the path, but also increases the network aggregation bandwidth.

Published: August 2022

In order to solve the problem of fast identification of the noise source of rotating machinery, the time-space complex envelope model of monopole sound source is studied, and a modulation method of the complex envelope is proposed. A method combining near-field acoustic holography technology and complex envelope information is proposed to reconstruct the sound field and realize the identification of rotating machinery noise sources. Using the overall fluctuation of the signal to identify the noise source of the rotating machinery greatly reduces the amount of calculation, and speeds up the positioning speed while ensuring the positioning accuracy. According to the sound field radiation characteristics of rotating machinery noise, different measurement distances, different sampling points numbers and different reconstruction distances are selected to reconstruct the sound field. The simulation data analysis results show that the near-field acoustic holography technology can still obtain high sound field reconstruction accuracy under the condition of large reconstruction distance, and does not require high sampling points numbers. Using the envelope information extracted by envelope modulation technology to reconstruct the sound field can accurately identify the number and geometric distribution of sound sources. This technology not only speeds up data processing, but also ensures the accuracy of sound field reconstruction.

 
Part B: Sludge sewage pre-treatment and codigestion
Technical Note 4 – Considerations on the application of secondary sludge enzymatic pre-treatment technology
Authors: Silva Victória Pedrosa Souza da , Cammarota Magali Christe , Gutarra Melissa Limoeiro Estrada
Published: August 2022

Complex molecules that compose the secondary sludge flocs can be hydrolyzed by specific enzymes applied individually or in a mixture to accelerate the hydrolysis stage of anaerobic digestion, obtain greater methane production and stabilize sludge in lesser time. However, the high cost of commercial enzymes precludes the full-scale application. An alternative is the production of enzymatic complexes by solid-state fermentation, a low-cost biological process that uses agro-industrial residues as raw material, such as babassu cake. This Technical Note presents enzymes with potential application in the enzymatic treatment of sludge and some results obtained in the anaerobic digestion of sludge with commercial enzymes and low-cost enzymatic complexes.

Background: Urinary tract infections caused by bacteria are the most prevalent type of hospital-acquired infection. They are also responsible for the greatest number of patient fatalities, lengths of hospital stays, and overall costs associated with medical care. Even though Escherichia coli is the bacteria that is found the most frequently, several studies have found different levels of prevalence for it. The current dilemma with antibiotic resistance is being caused, in large part, by the inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics. Methodology: Laboratory records were searched in order to obtain information regarding the organisms that were isolated from urine samples as well as the pattern of antibiotic susceptibility. The urine samples that were obtained were processed according to the normal procedures, and a Kirby-Bauer Disk Diffusion test was used to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of the bacteria. Results: E. coli was found to be the most frequent causative agent of UTI (40.6%) followed by candida spp. (28%), Enterococcus spp (10.6%), Klebsiella spp (9.8%), Staphylococcus aures (1.58%) and Acinatobacter spp (1.97%). E. coli showed variable antimicrobial resistance to various antibiotics such as AMP (95.6%) followed by CRO (91.5%), CAZ (86.5%), CTX (82.09%), and MXF (80.8%) while most sensitive antibiotic was fosfomycin (93.2%) followed by sulzone (83.5%), imepinem (78.1%) and amikacin (77.1%).

Objective: The aim of current study is to determine the effect of late night mobile usage and compromise of rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM among medical students. Study Design: Cross-sectional study Place and Duration: Sughra Shafi Medical Complex Narowal. Jun 2021-Dec 2021 Methods: There were 170 medical students of both genders had age 19-35 years were presented in this research. After obtaining written informed consent, participants' age, sex, BMI, and place of residence were recorded in detail. Participants filled out the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and a validated semi-structured questionnaire that included demographic information and cellular phone data. Outcomes were assessed among patients with REM and non REM sleep. SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze all data. Results: Among 170 presented students, majority was females 97 (57.1%) and rest of the patients was males 73 (42.9%). We found that 70 (41.2%) had age 19-25 years, 60 (35.3%) had age 26-30 years and 40 (13.5%) had age 31-35 years. 120 (70.6%) had BMI <25kg/m2 and 50 (29.4%) had BMI >25kg/m2. 94 (55.3%) cases had REM sleep and 76 (44.7%) were non REM sleep. Majority of the cases were had mobile usage >4hours found in 80 (47.1%) students. There was a statistically significant (P <0.05) increase in sleep latency, decrease in sleep length, increase in inefficiency during sleep, and increase in daytime sleep disruptions in REM patients. Sleep quality was negatively connected with unawareness of night shift mode and lying posture while using a phone before bed (P <0.05). We found higher number of fatigue, headache, temper and burning eyes among REM cases as compared to non REM. Conclusion: We concluded in this study that mobile usage among patients with REM sleep resulted higher number of poor sleep quality, fatigue and headache as compared to non REM cases. The detrimental effects of late-night screen time on sleep and health should be highly publicized. Keywords: REM, Medical Students, Mobile Usage, Sleep Quality

The waveguide which is considered recently for transmission of radio frequency (RF) signals from one node to another node is the optic fiber technology. The reliance on fast transmission of information can be achieved with the implementation of fiber optic cable as a waveguide in a communication channel. Basically, optic fiber transmits information with the aid of light called laser at majorly two categories of wavelengths which are 1310 nm and 1550 nm. Propagation of signal over a long stretch of fiber is affected by attenuation due to scattering, fiber bend due to impurities and absorption between the core and the cladding when signal travels along the channel, but these loses are minimal between acceptable value. Optical fiber sensors called photodetector are used to detect the information at the receiving end with minimal losses along the fiber channel. Results obtained demonstrate that there are minimal losses in a fiber cable-based signal transmission.
