Introdução: Em março de 2020 a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) declarou uma pandemia pela doença denominada COVID 19, causado por uma nova síndrome respiratória aguda grave coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), sendo uma emergência de saúde pública de interesse internacional. Desde o início da pandemia, o diabetes mellitus emergiu como um fator complicador, com desfechos desfavoráveis em comparação à população não diabética. Dessa forma, nosso estudo objetivou avaliar e comparar, através de um estudo analítico, transversal e descritivo, os fenótipos de gravidade entre pessoas com COVID-19 diabéticas e não diabéticas em um hospital de referência no Distrito Federal, Brasil. Material e métodos: Através de busca ativa de dados em prontuários de pacientes internados com diagnóstico com COVID-19 pelo método “Real Time Reação de Cadeia de Polimerase” (RT-PCR), foram recrutados 2041 indivíduos que, após critérios de exclusão, selecionados um total de 762 para o estudo proposto, comparando dados clínicos e laboratoriais entre o grupo com diabetes e sem diabetes.  A estatística descritiva foi realizada com valores média e desvio-padrão, frequência absoluta e percentual relativo. A normalidade e homogeneidade dos dados foram calculadas com o teste de Shapiro-Wilk e Levene, respectivamente. O teste t de student para amostras independentes foi usado para comparar as variáveis contínuas e o teste qui-quadrado foi utilizado para comparar as variáveis categóricas entre os pacientes diabéticos e não diabéticos. Resultados: Indivíduos com diabetes apresentaram um quadro clínico mais severo quando comparados àqueles sem a doença. Evidenciando um fator de risco independente para um pior prognóstico. Discussão: nossos achados vão de encontro a outras pesquisas já realizadas, mostrando que o componente inflamatório crônico da doença parece ser o principal gatilho para desfechos desfavoráveis. Conclusão: Considerando a importância epidemiológica do diabetes, fazem-se urgentes pesquisas que elucidem as dúvidas acima expostas, visando intervenções terapêuticas mais apropriadas e, portanto, melhorando os desfechos nesta população. Em se tratando de uma doença nova e ainda pouco conhecida, com várias interrogações, provavelmente muitas das respostas só virão com o tempo, através de estudos mais robustos, prospectivos e randomizados, com populações maiores e mais diversificadas.

Published: December 2021

Aim: Non-instrumental endodontic therapy has stood out for being a minimal intervention approach that uses a mixture of antibiotics to disinfect the root canals. The purpose of this case report was to describe the treatment and 36-month follow-up of a deciduous necrotic molar using the modified technique of “Injury Sterilization and Tissue Repair” (LSTR). Methodology: A 5-year-old female patient sought dental care complaining of pain in the region of tooth 85 whose oral clinical examination revealed the presence of caries with pulp involvement. In the preoperative period (T1), the patient presented with fistula, abscess and edema. Endodontic treatment was performed using the LSTR technique with triple antibiotic paste. In the follow-up, due to radiographic aspects, a large interradicular lesion was observed in T1 and at the end of the follow-up (T4 / T5), complete bone regeneration was observed in the region. Conclusion: Due to the high antibacterial efficacy of the paste used, the LSTR technique showed satisfactory results in the pulpectomy of a deciduous necrotic molar. Clinical significance: This technique shows the potential to be used in cases to being performed in a shorter operative time, which can be useful in the treatment of children with negative behavior.

Published: December 2021

The Biological Restoration technique aims to use a dental fragment as the main restorative material for the reconstruction of a fractured tooth or with an extensive carious process, which may be autogenous or homogeneous. The objective of this study is to present, through a clinical case, an autogenous biological restoration with 2-year clinical and radiographic monitoring, as an alternative method of restoring teeth with destroyed clinical crown in a 27-year-old male patient. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (Number: 4.236.211). On clinical examination, it was found that tooth 16 had a temporary restoration in glass ionomer cement covering an extensive area involving the mesiopalatal cusp and the mesial crest. It was also noted that the patient had a healthy tooth 18 with no chewing function. Thus, it was proposed to make the autogenous biological restoration using tooth 18 extracted from the patient himself. Finally, after 2 years of follow-up, the restoration has good clinical applicability, showing the viability of the technique.

Published: December 2021

A vacinação da população contra o Covid-19 é imprescindível, assim como ter o conhecimento das características epidemiológicas e de distribuição das doses aplicadas. Objetiva-se caracterizar a distribuição do número de doses aplicadas das vacinas contra Covid-19 e traçar perfil dos vacinados na Região do Baixo Amazonas (RBA). Estudo descritivo, quantitativo referente ao número de doses aplicadas das vacinas notificados na RBA. Das doses enviadas à população, 80% dessas foram administradas. A faixa etária com maior número de 1ª dose aplicada é 18 a 59 anos, houve uma redução de 2ª dose aplicada. em relação a primeira dose; o grupo etário mais estável em relação a cobertura vacinal de primeira e segunda dose, é a faixa etária de 60 anos ou mais. O grupo que apresentou maior adesão à vacina foram os profissionais da saúde; as gestantes apresentaram menor porcentagem de equivalência entre a população estimada, entre doses. O Norte apresentou as piores taxas de cobertura vacinal entre população/doses aplicadas, na RBA houve grandes índices de disparidade quando se leva em consideração a relação anterior. Houve dificuldade em encontrar os dados completos e atualizados a respeito das doses aplicadas e das populações cobertas pelas vacinas contra Covid–19. Os arquivos se encontravam criptografados por programas de difícil acesso para leigos, fato que contribui para uma melhor análise. A disparidade entre o número de doses enviadas e o número de doses aplicadas evidenciou a necessidade de medidas de busca ativa e veiculação de mais informações corretas a respeito da vacinação da população.

Estudos envolvendo plantas de cobertura em áreas manejadas sob sistema plantio direto são de grande relevância cientifica para buscar a sustentabilidade dos cultivos agrícolas. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o impacto do uso de plantas de cobertura na estrutura de um Latossolo argiloso sob sistema plantio direto e o reflexo na produtividade do milho. Os tratamentos consistiram na utilização de seis espécies de cobertura: milheto (Pennisetum glaucum), guandu-forrageiro-anão (Cajanus cajan), crotalária (Crotalaria juncea), feijão-guandu (Cajanus cajan); crotalaria spectabilis (Crotalaria spectabilis Roth); mucuna preta (Stizolobium aterrimum) e do sistema plantio direto tradicional (testemunha). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com 4 repetições. Os parâmetros físicos do solo avaliados foram a densidade, o espaço poroso e a condutividade hidráulica do solo. Para isso, foram coletadas amostras indeformadas de solo nas camadas de 0,00-0,10 m, 0,10-0,20 m e 0,20-0,30 m. Após dessecação das espécies de cobertura, em plena floração, implantou-se a cultura do milho. O rendimento de grãos de milho foi determinado a partir de 3 repetições de 13,5 m² de área cada. A umidade dos grãos foi corrigida para 13% para a determinação da produtividade. As espécies de cobertura de verão que apresentaram maior eficiência na reestruturação do solo foram a crotalária spectabilis e a mucuna preta. Quanto ao rendimento de grãos de milho não houve diferença significativa entre os tratamentos, evidenciando as boas condições estruturais do solo da área experimental.

O trabalho teve como objetivo utilizar a literatura como referência para abordar assuntos recentes e pertinentes ao desfecho da doença renal crônica (DRC), com enfoque nutricional. Trata-se de um referencial teórico, cuja busca foi realizada nas bases de dados: PubMed, LILACS,  SciELO e REDIB, utilizando os seguintes descritores disponíveis nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Doença renal crônica, Nutrição, Terapia nutricional, Paciente renal e Hábitos alimentares. Foram utilizados os operadores booleanos “AND” e “OR”, realizando as distintas combinações. A DRC acomete os rins e leva a perda gradual da estrutura e da função renal, consequentemente há aumento da mortalidade e morbidade. A população de risco para DRC são: portadores de Hipertensão arterial, Diabetes Mellitus, doenças cardiovasculares, assim como idosos, fumantes, pessoas com IMC acima de 30kg/m² e que possuam histórico familiar de DRC.  No Brasil, mais de dez milhões de pessoas são portadores de DRC. Nesse contexto, é necessário avaliar o impacto alimentar sobre essa doença; alguns nutrientes como proteína, fósforo, potássio e sódio necessitam de recomendações dietéticas especiais. O número de pessoas acometidas por DRC vem crescendo, o que pode levar a distúrbios nutricionais. A correria da vida moderna leva a população a crer que produtos processados e ultraprocessados, são uma boa alternativa devido a sua praticidade, podemos concluir então que trata-se de uma dieta pobre em fibras alimentares e rica em sódio e temperos artificiais. É necessário que se faça uma conscientização da população quanto a hábitos saudáveis, para um melhor desfecho das DRC.

Authors: Carvalho Matheus da Silva
Published: December 2021

A industrialização mundial vem crescendo em larga escala, com isso fazendo com que a demanda de energia global também aumente. Acredita-se que para haver maior disponibilidade de energia, será necessário exigir muito mais do meio ambiente. Como algumas técnicas utilizadas para obtenção de energia são extremamente agressivas ao ecossistema, as fontes de energia renováveis desempenham um papel importantíssimo, comparado aos efeitos de obtenção de energia e sua relação a outras fontes de energia. A biomassa tem recebido muita atenção por parte da mídia e de líderes políticos, tanto em relação a fontes alternativas de combustível quanto uma maneira de minimizar a dependência da importação de matéria-prima de países desenvolvidos. Este trabalho utiliza um método de modelagem usando comparativos do software CH4 Biogás Simulator para avaliação de múltiplas variáveis afim de determinar a equação de regressão, assim obtendo a quantidade de biogás bruto e energia elétrica que se pode gerar utilizando dejetos de bovinos, suínos e aves pela ação de biodigestores. A equação gerada é de fácil aplicabilidade e resultou no modelo Y= 1,572731 + 0,985985 x bovinos + 0,191372 x suínos + 0,021287 x aves com (r=0,99) sendo assim adequada para estimação do valor do potencial de biogás.

Practice of Combating Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Disease in Azerbaijan on the Example of Phytophthora
Authors: Agayev F.
Published: December 2021

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are the fourth largest crop in the world after rice and corn. In Azerbaijan, the yield of potatoes per unit area is very low compared to other countries of the world. There are many factors that reduce crop productivity, among which diseases such as late blight of potato (Phytophthora infestans) play an important role. Therefore, the fight against this disease is very important. Late blight of potato can be controlled by the following control strategies: use of biological control agents, use of resistant varieties, crossbreeding, use of certified disease-free seeds, use of selective fungicides and agronomic practices such as destruction of cull heaps by freezing or deep burial, destruction sprouting voluntary potato plants in nearby fields during the season, killing infested plants to avoid spreading, shortening periods of leaf wetness and high canopy moisture through proper irrigation times, applying the recommended fungicide spraying program (program must be started before pathogen is detected).

Published: December 2021

A membranosus glomerulopathia (MGP) a felnőttkori nephrosisszindróma leggyakoribb oka. Megjelenhet primer, autoimmun betegség formájában vagy kialakulhat másodlagos betegségként malignus tumorok, autoimmun betegségek, infekciók, nemkívánatos gyógyszermellékhatás következtében. Közleményünkben két esetet szeretnénk bemutatni. Első betegünk beszűkült veseműködéssel, 34 hónapja fennálló nephrosisszindrómával került nefrológiai ambulanciánkra. A vesebiopszia MGP-t igazolt, amelyet fokális extrakapilláris proliferáció (félholdképződés) kísért. A magas szérum-antifoszfolipáz-A2-receptor- (PLA2R-) antitesttiter és a markáns glomeruláris PLA2R-antigén-ellenes immunhisztokémiai reakció, valamint a másodlagos MGP-t okozó állapotok hiánya alapján primer MGP-ként diagnosztizáltuk. A félholdképződés nagyon ritka MGP-ben. A félholdképződést a tartós bazálmembrán-károsodás következményének tartjuk a negatív lupusszerológia, negatív antineutrofilcitoplazma-antitest és a bazálmembrán-antitestre jellemző lineáris glomeruláris IgG immunfluoreszcencia hiánya alapján. A beteg vesefunkciója metilprednizolon-ciklofoszfamid kezelés mellett javult, proteinuriája nem nephroticus tartományba csökkent. Második MGP-s betegünk anti-PLA2R- és anti-thrombospondin type-1 domain containing 7A (THSD7A-) antitest-negatív volt, a glomerulusokban sem volt PLA2R-antigén, illetve THSD7A-ellenes immunhisztokémiai reakció. Másodlagos MGP-t tartottunk valószínűnek, azonban részletes kivizsgálással sem találtunk szekunder MGP-t okozó betegséget, ezért primer MGP-t diagnosztizáltunk. Metilprednizolon- és ciklosporin A-kezeléssel a nephrosis teljes remisszióba került. Anti-PLA2R-antitest és/vagy glomeruláris PLA2R-antigén-pozitivitás esetén primer MGP valószínű, de másodlagos MGP sem zárható ki, míg anti-PLA2R- és anti-THSD7A-antitest, illetve glomeruláris PLA2R- és THSD7A-antigén-negativitás esetén másodlagos MGP a valószínű, és csak a lehetséges okok kizárását követően diagnosztizálhatunk primer MGP-t.

Authors: Grandes-Blanco Amado Israel , Cuamatzi-Hernández Ángel Arturo , Luna-Suárez Silvia , Sánchez-Minutti Lilia
Published: December 2021

Antecedentes: Lentinula edodes es un hongo comestible de importancia económica en México, produce un compuesto reductor de colesterol llamado eritadenina, el cual se ha obtenido del cuerpo fructífero y micelio del hongo. Su producción se ha evaluado en fermentación sumergida, pero hasta ahora no se ha evaluado la fermentación en estado sólido.

Objetivos: Determinar si la fermentación en estado sólido de L. edodes mejora la producción de eritadenina.

Métodos: Se realizó una fermentación en estado sólido con espuma de poliuretano y un medio enriquecido para determinar la producción de eritadenina, biomasa y consumo de sustrato; la eritadenina se detectó por HPLC-DAD a 260 nm.

Resultados y conclusiones: La biomasa máxima fue de 3.6 ± 0.11 g/L, con una tasa de crecimiento específico de 0.015 ± 0.002 h-1. La eritadenina se produjo en la biomasa y se liberó al medio de cultivo; a las 168 h de incubación se incrementó 2.8 y 2.4 veces, respectivamente. Se encontró una relación proporcional entre la producción de eritadenina y biomasa. No hubo relación entre el consumo de sustrato y la producción de eritadenina. La fermentación en estado sólido es una alternativa para producir y recuperar la eritadenina.

Published: December 2021

Background: Edible mushrooms have nutraceutical properties, mainly in humans, animals and plants. Pleurotus species represent an alternative approach to parasite control because they have nematocidal activity against different taxonomic genera of nematodes of importance for livestock (e.g., eggs and infective and histotrophic larvae of Haemonchus contortus), as well as against other parasites of importance in animal health.

Objective: To present a general overview of fungi of the genus Pleurotus and their characteristics as a sustainable method of biocontrol for parasitic nematodes of animals with importance in public health.

Methods: This bibliographic review was carried out by consulting published studies on edible fungi of the genus Pleurotus and analyzing their properties related to nematocidal activity. The works were grouped according to their research focus; works related to keywords and topics in livestock were identified in indexed journals and on digital platforms.

Results and conclusions: Pleurotus spp. produce different secondary metabolites with antiparasitic activities, mainly anthelmintic and particularly against gastrointestinal nematodes and their larval stages. The characteristics of these fungi are excellent for biotechnological applications since they produce a wide range of secondary metabolites in different parts, such as in the basidiomas, mycelia and degraded substrates.

Our days, the problem of treating complicated forms of cholelithiasis continues to be relevant despite the undoubted successes in the field of hepatobiliary surgery. Cholangiolithiasis is one of the most frequent and dangerous complications of cholelithiasis, it is detected in 8–26 % of patients with cholelithiasis. In some cases, it is impossible to perform an endoscopic retrograde method, these special situations require the development of new original minimally invasive methods for resolving cholangiolithiasis, which have all the advantages of «small access». The analysis of the treatment of 466 operated patients with cholelithiasis complicated by cholangiolithiasis and mechanical jaundice in the period from 2013 to 2019 was carried out. The patients were divided into 3 groups: 1 — the endoscopic retrograde method was used (n = 369), 2 — laparotomic access (n = 26), 3 — antegrade X-ray interventional method (n = 71). The results obtained allow us to conclude that the antegrade interventional radiology technique for the treatment of choledocholithiasis has a high clinical efficacy comparable to the endoscopic technique. The use of this treatment option avoids traumatic laparotomies and open interventions on the bile ducts. The use of method is justified in cases of impossibility of performing endoscopic intervention, or its ineffectiveness.

Authors: Shalaeva Tatyana Ilinichna , Malushenko Roman Nikolaevich
Published: December 2021

Lipogranulomas in surgical practice, are the most often encountered in the mammary glands, penis and facial area associated with subcutaneous injections for cosmetic purposes of various types of fillers that cause chronic granulomatous inflammation. Atypical localization occurs due to the development of reactions to foreign bodies after traumatic injuries and reactions to suture material used in surgical interventions. The article presents a clinical case of revealing a large peritoneal lipogranuloma localized in the area of the hernial sac in a patient who 7 years ago suffered from endometrial cancer and underwent extirpation of the uterus using median incision access. Subsequently, the patient was treated for a long time in an outpatient care because of the ligature abscesses with the formation of fistulas; several rough ligatures were removed from the subcutaneous tissue. Lipogranuloma, found in the wall of the hernial sac measuring 15 × 6 × 5 cm, covered from all sides with an unaltered peritoneum, contained a cystic cavity with a light fluid, thick synthetic ligatures of a braided structure were present in the cyst wall. The use of large-diameter braided non-absorbable sutures for suturing the peritoneum does not meet modern requirements for the use of suture material and can cause complications.

Physiotherapy is a field of medicine based on the study and application of natural and artificially created natural factors on the human body. Physical factors can have both local and systemic effects on the patient’s body. In the postoperative period, physiotherapy helps to solve the most important problems, such as accelerating the processes of tissue regeneration and reducing the risk of infection in the area of surgery. Physical factors, activating fibroblasts, accelerate the synthesis of collagen fibers and increase the regenerative capacity of damaged tissues. In addition, due to bacteriostatic and bactericidal action, microorganisms are destroyed and the risk of postoperative infectious complications is reduced. Understanding the key features of all stages of the wound process allows you to rationally affect the wound. The use of an integrated approach based on drug therapy and the use of physiotherapy procedures significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment and helps the patient to return to their usual level of life as soon as possible. This article is a review of the literature on the most commonly used methods of physiotherapy in the postoperative period. Based on the analysis of publications, the article presents the features and principle of operation of such techniques as electrophoresis, phonophoresis, magnetotherapy, ozone therapy, electrical stimulation, cryotherapy, shock wave therapy, galvanization, darsonvalization, as well as therapy based on the effects of ultraviolet radiation, laser, ultrasound, microcurrents. Examples of physiotherapeutic procedures that should be used at various stages of the wound process, depending on the impact, are given. It is the use of various methods of influence in combination with each other that helps to achieve the maximum effect of treatment in the postoperative period.

Published: December 2021

The aim of this study was to determine dynamic thiol-disulphide homeostasis (TDH) parameters and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels in calves with neonatal diarrhea and compare with healthy controls. A total of 50 calves were included in the study. There were 25 calves in both diarrhea and healthy groups. Serum native thiol, total thiol, disulfide and IMA levels were measured using new methods. Native thiol (P=0.025) and total thiol (P=0.041) values decreased significantly in calves with neonatal diarrhea compared to the healthy control group. Disulphide (P= 0.133), disulphide/native thiol ratio (P=0.001) and IMA (P=0.0018) parameters were lower in healthy group, and the difference between the two groups was significant for the parameters other than disulphide. This study shows that TDH is impaired in neonatal calf diarrhea and IMA levels are increased due to oxidative stress.

Published: December 2021

Amaç: Yaş tahmini, Adli Tıp alanının en önemli konularından biridir. Hukukta yargılamanın izleyişi ve sonuçlandırılması açısından bireyin yaşı belirleyicidir. Yaş tayini yapmak için en sık kullanılan yöntem radyolojik olarak kemik yaşı tespitidir. Yaş tespiti değerlendirmeleri, hukuki açıdan kişilerin hukuki sorumlulukları olup olmadığı veya işlenmiş bir suçun bir çocuğa karşı mı işlenmiş olduğu konularında yargı sistemi tarafından verilecek hükmü belirlemek amacıyla istenmektedir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda, Çukurova Üniversitesi Adli Tıp Anabilim Dalı polikliniğimize 2019-2020 yılları arasında ilgili adli makamlar tarafından kemik yaşı tayini istemiyle yönlendirilen 81 mülteci olgunun kimlik yaşı, evlenme yaşı, çocuk sahibi olup olmadığı, yaş tayini istenme sebebi incelendi. Tüm olguların radyolojik kemik yaşları Greulich-Pyle ve Gilsanz-Ratib Atlaslarına göre değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: 81 olgunun 74’ü kadın, 7’si erkekti. 18 olguda kemik yaşının nüfus kaydında olan yaşından daha büyük, 8 olguda kemik yaşının nüfus kaydında olan yaşından daha küçük olduğu, 53 olgunun ise kemik yaşının nüfus kaydıyla uyumlu olduğu tespit edilmiş, 2 olguda gebelik nedeniyle yaş tespiti çalışmaları yapılamamıştır. Olguların geliş nedenleri değerlendirildiğinde kadınların tamamında, erkeklerin çoğunda (%85,7) cinsel istismar nedeniyle yaş tayini istendiği görüldü.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda değerlendirilen olguların neredeyse tamamının yasal evlenme yaşının altında olması mülteciler arasında çocuk istismarının geldiği endişe verici noktayı göstermektedir. Erken yaşta evliliklerin ve dolayısıyla çocuk istismarının önlenmesi, konuyla ilgili farkındalığın artırılması ve devletin izlenmesi halk sağlığı açısından sağlanmalıdır.

Objetivo: Traçar o perfil epidemiológico das crianças acometidas com a COVID-19 no estado do Ceará. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo documental, descritivo, de natureza quantitativa, tendo a população composta por todos os dados fornecidos pela plataforma do IntegraSUS, uma plataforma de transparência da gestão pública de saúde do Ceará, obtidos no período de julho de 2021 a setembro de 2021. A amostra foi composta por todos os dados presente na plataforma que corresponderam aos seguintes critérios de inclusão: Indicadores do coronavírus- histórico de internações, óbitos, e acompanhamento de testes de COVID-19, acompanhamento dos atendimentos por síndrome gripal, positividade de exames, regulação estadual pacientes COVID-19. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados, apresentados em forma de gráficos e tabelas e analisados por meio da estatística descritiva, simples, conforme as variáveis provenientes do roteiro semiestruturado e, em seguida, correlacionados e discutidos através do cunho científico e seguindo os princípios éticos e legais da Resolução 466/12. Resultados: Foi possível identificar que o maior índice de casos confirmados foram na faixa etária de 10 a 14 anos e em relação ao gênero no sexo feminino, porém foi possível identificar que o maior risco não está nessas crianças e sim, nas que têm idade entre 00 a 04 anos, pois possuem uma taxa de letalidade e óbito maior e, em relação ao gênero, são as crianças do sexo masculino que estão mais propícias a ter o quadro grave da doença. Conclusão: Diante disso, conclui-se que, apesar das crianças estarem em um grupo de menor risco, elas não se isentam dos riscos e gravidades da doença, além de serem veículo de transmissão da doença, fazendo-se necessário todas as medidas preventivas e de enfrentamento da COVID-19 com essa população.

Authors: Choi Pak-Kon , Akiu Takumi , Minowa Shogo , Kim Jungsoon , Kim Moojoon
Published: December 2021

Spatial distribution of sonochemiluminescence (SCL) from an argon-saturated luminol solution was measured in a focused sound field at 1 MHz in a standing-wave configuration. The SCL distribution was confined to pre-focal region at acoustic powers lower than 0.9 W, and was not located at the focus but at a few mm pre-focal side at a threshold for SCL inception. The threshold pressure amplitude for SCL inception was 3.6 atm at the focus, which value was obtained with a background-oriented schlieren method. The method is based on the broadening of multiple slits due to an optical deflection caused by ultrasound, and the broadening width measured provides an acoustic pressure amplitude. A qualitative image of the focused sound field was also obtained.

Published: December 2021

Light scattering by a single superconducting microparticle trapped in a quadrupole magnetic field has been observed. The angular distributions of the scattering light were recorded for multiple colors of the incident light and were well reproduced by using the Mie scattering theory with the refractive indices for normal conducting metals. This analysis provides us with the radius of the trapped particle.

The programmable processors newest technologies, as for example the multicore Digital Signal Processors (DSP), offer a promising solution for overcoming the complexity of the real time video encoding application. In this paper, the SHVC video encoder was effectively implemented just on a single core among the eight cores of TMS320C6678 DSP for a Common Intermediate Format (CIF)input video sequence resolution(352x288). Performance optimization of the SHVC encoder had reached up 41% compared to its reference software enabling a real-time implementation of the SHVC encoder for CIF input videos sequence resolution. The proposed SHVC implementation was carried out on different quantization parameters (QP). Several experimental tests had proved our performance achievement for real-time encoding on TMS320C6678.

Published: December 2021

Computer vision techniques have played an important role in promoting the informatization, digitization and intelligence of industrial manufacturing systems. Considering the rapid development of computer vision techniques, we present a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art of these techniques and their applications in manufacturing industries. We survey the most common methods, including feature detection, recognition, segmentation and 3D modeling. A system framework of computer vision in the manufacturing environment is proposed, consisting of a lighting module, a manufacturing system, a sensing module, computer vision algorithms, a decision-making module, and an actuator. Applications of computer vision to different stages of the entire product life cycle are then explored, including product design, modeling and simulation, planning and scheduling, the production process, inspection and quality control, assembly, transportation, and disassembly. Challenges include algorithm implementation, data pre-processing, data labeling, and benchmarks. Future directions include building benchmarks, developing methods for non-annotated data processing, developing effective data pre-processing mechanisms, customizing computer vision models, and opportunities aroused by 5G.
Decentralized Frequency Regulation of Hybrid MTDC-linked Grids
Authors: Kim Youngjin
Published: December 2021

This
paper proposes a new strategy for optimal grid frequency regulation (FR) in an
interconnected power system where regional ac grids and an offshore wind farm
are linked via a multi-terminal high voltage direct-current
(MTDC) network.
In the proposed strategy, decentralized H∞
controllers are developed to coordinate the operations of ac synchronous
generators and hybrid MTDC converters, thus achieving optimal power sharing of
interconnected ac grids and minimizing frequency deviations in each grid. To
develop the controllers, robust optimization problems are formulated and solved
using a dynamic model of the hybrid MTDC-linked grids with model parameter uncertainty
and decentralized control inputs and outputs. The model orders of the resulting
controllers are then reduced using a balanced truncation algorithm to eliminate
unobservable and uncontrollable state variables while preserving their
dominant response characteristics. Sensitivity
and eigenvalue analyses are conducted focusing on the effects of grid
measurements, parameter uncertainty levels, and communication time delays.
Comparative case studies are also carried out to verify that the proposed strategy
improves the effectiveness, stability, and robustness of real-time FR in MTDC-linked
grids under various conditions characterized mainly by load demands,
communications systems, and weighting functions.

Published: December 2021

This article proposes a new resource allocation framework that uses the dual theory approach. Specifically, the sum-rate of the multi-cell network having backscatter tags and NOMA user equipments is maximized by formulating a joint optimization problem. To find the efficient base station transmit power and backscatter reflection coefficient in each cell, the original problem is first divided into two subproblems and then derived the closed-form solutions. A comparison with the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) ambient BackCom and pure NOMA transmission has been provided.
Pansformers: Transformer-Based Self-Attention Network for Pansharpening

Published: December 2021

Pansharpening is the task of creating a High-Resolution Multi-Spectral Image (HRMS) by extracting and infusing pixel details from the High-Resolution Panchromatic Image into the Low-Resolution Multi-Spectral (LRMS). With the boom in the amount of satellite image data, researchers have replaced traditional approaches with deep learning models. However, existing deep learning models are not built to capture intricate pixel-level relationships. Motivated by the recent success of self-attention mechanisms in computer vision tasks, we propose Pansformers, a transformer-based self-attention architecture, that computes band-wise attention. A further improvement is proposed in the attention network by introducing a Multi-Patch Attention mechanism, which operates on non-overlapping, local patches of the image. Our model is successful in infusing relevant local details from the Panchromatic image while preserving the spectral integrity of the MS image. We show that our Pansformer model significantly improves the performance metrics and the output image quality on imagery from two satellite distributions IKONOS and LANDSAT-8.
