Published: January 2024

Causality algorithms help establish relationships between drug use and adverse event (AE) occurrence. High drug exposure leads to a higher likelihood of an AE being classified as an adverse drug reaction (ADR). However, there is a knowledge gap regarding what concentrations are predictive of ADRs, as this has not been systematically studied. In this work, the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System (SEFV) algorithm was used to define the relationship between the AE occurrence and drug administration in 178 healthy volunteers participating in five desvenlafaxine single-dose clinical trials, a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor that may cause dizziness, headache, nausea, dry mouth, constipation and hyperhidrosis. Eighty-three subjects presented 172 AEs that were classified as possible (101), conditional (31), unrelated (24) and probable (16). AUC∞ and Cmax were significantly higher in volunteers with vs. without ADRs (5981.24 ng·h/mL and 239.06 ng/mL and 4770.84 ng·h/mL and 200.69 ng/mL, respectively). Six of 19 subjects with conditional AEs with an SEFV score of 3 points presented an AUC∞ ≥ 6500 ng·h/mL or a Cmax ≥ 300 ng/mL (i.e., above percentile 75) and were summed one point on their SEFV score and classified as “possible” (4 points), improving the capacity of ADR detection.

Published: January 2024

Compounds that potentiate the activity of clinically available antibiotics provide a complementary solution, except for developing novel antibiotics for the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). We sought to identify compounds potentiating polymyxin B (PMB), a traditional drug that has been revived as the last line for treating life-threatening GNB infections, thus reducing its nephrotoxicity and heterogeneous resistance in clinical use. In this study, we found a natural product, sanguinarine (SA), which potentiated the efficacy of PMB against GNB infections. The synergistic effect of SA with PMB was evaluated using a checkerboard assay and time–kill curves in vivo and the murine peritonitis model induced by Escherichia coli in female CD-1 mice in vivo. SA assisted PMB in accelerating the reduction in bacterial loads both in vitro and in vivo, improving the inflammatory responses and survival rate of infected animals. The subsequent detection of the intracellular ATP levels, membrane potential, and membrane integrity indicated that SA enhanced the bacterial-membrane-breaking capacity of PMB. A metabolomic analysis showed that the inhibition of energy metabolism, interference with nucleic acid biosynthesis, and the blocking of L-Ara4N-related PMB resistance may also contribute to the synergistic effect. This study is the first to reveal the synergistic activity and mechanism of SA with PMB, which highlights further insights into anti-GNB drug development.

Published: January 2024

Salt stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses leading to reduced agricultural productivity. Polysaccharides from seaweed have been used as biostimulants to promote crop growth and improve plant resistance to abiotic stress. In this study, PGPR strain Burkholderia sp. BK01 was isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat, and it was characterized for phosphorus (Pi) dissolution, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) production, ammonia (NH3) and exopolysaccharides (EPS). In particular, strain BK01 can efficiently produce extracellular polysaccharide with a yield of 12.86 g/L, using sorbitol as carbon source. BK01 EPS was identified as an heteropolysaccharide with Mw 3.559 × 106 Da, composed of (D)-galactose (75.3%), (D)-glucose (5.5%), (L)-rhamnose (5.5%), (D)-galactouronic acid (4.9%) and (D)-glucuronic acid (8.8%). The present work aims to highlight the effect of the BK01 EPS on growth and biochemical changes in Arabidopsis thaliana under salt stress (100 mM). The purified BK01 EPS at a concentration of 100 mg/L efficiently promoted the growth of plants in pot assays, improved the chlorophyll content, enhanced the activities of SOD, POD and CAT, and decreased the content of MDA. This results suggested that the polysaccharides produced by PGPR strain Burkholderia sp. BK01 can be used as biostimulants to promote plant growth and improve plant resistance to salt stress.

Published: January 2024

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluorethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) has promising potential applications in radio-frequency filters due to their excellent piezoelectric properties, flexibility, and stability. In this paper, a flexible film bulk acoustic wave filter is investigated based on P(VDF-TrFE) as piezoelectric film. A new method based on three-step annealing is developed to efficiently remove the porosity inside the P(VDF-TrFE) films so as to improve its properties. The obtained film achieved high β-phase content beyond 80% and a high piezoelectric coefficient of 27.75 pm/V. Based on the low porosity β-phase films, a flexible wide-band RF filter is designed, which consists of a bulk acoustic wave resonator and lumped inductor-capacitor elements as a hybrid configuration. The resonator sets the filter’s center frequency, while the lumped LC-based matching network extends the bandwidth and enhances out-of-band rejection. The testing results of the proposed wide-band filter show its good performance, with 12.5% fractional bandwidth and an insertion loss of 3.1 dB. To verify the possibility of folding and stacking the flexible bulk acoustic wave devices for high-density multi-filter integration in MIMO communication, bending tests of the filter are also conducted with the bending strain range up to 5500 με. The testing results show no noticeable performance degradation after four bending cycles. This work demonstrates the potential of β-phase P(VDF-TrFE) bulk acoustic wave filters to expand the scope of future flexible radio-frequency filter applications.

Published: January 2024

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of fatigue cracks is essential for ensuring the safe operation of engineering equipment. The acoustic emission (AE) technique is one of the SHM techniques that is capable of monitoring fatigue-crack growth (FCG) in real time. In this study, fatigue-damage evolution of Hadfield steel was characterized using acoustic emission (AE) and machine learning-based methods. The AE signals generated from the entire fatigue-load process were acquired and correlated with fatigue-damage evolution. The AE-source mechanisms were discussed based on waveform characteristics and bispectrum analysis. Moreover, multiple machine learning algorithms were used to classify fatigue sub-stages, and the results show the effectiveness of classification of fatigue sub-stages using machine learning algorithms. The novelty of this research lies in the use of machine learning algorithms for the classification of fatigue sub-stages, unlike the existing methodology, which requires prior knowledge of AE-loading history and calculation of ∆K.
An Image Histogram Equalization Acceleration Method for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays Based on a Two-Dimensional Configurable Pipeline

Published: January 2024

New artificial intelligence scenarios, such as high-precision online industrial detection, unmanned driving, etc., are constantly emerging and have resulted in an increasing demand for real-time image processing with high frame rates and low power consumption. Histogram equalization (HE) is a very effective and commonly used image preprocessing algorithm designed to improve the quality of image processing results. However, most existing HE acceleration methods, whether run on general-purpose CPUs or dedicated embedded systems, require further improvement in their frame rate to meet the needs of more complex scenarios. In this paper, we propose an HE acceleration method for FPGAs based on a two-dimensional configurable pipeline architecture. We first optimize the parallelizability of HE with a fully configurable two-dimensional pipeline architecture according to the principle of adapting the algorithm to the hardware, where one dimension can compute the cumulative histogram in parallel and the other dimension can process multiple inputs simultaneously. This optimization also helps in the construction of a simple architecture that achieves a higher frequency when implementing HE on FPGAs, which consist of configurable input units, calculation units, and output units. Finally, we optimize the pipeline and critical path of the calculation units. In the experiments, we deploy the optimized HE on a VCU118 test board and achieve a maximum frequency of 891 MHz (which is up to 22.6 times more acceleration than CPU implementations), as well as a frame rate of 1899 frames per second for 1080p images.

Published: January 2024

The use of advanced modulation and control schemes for power converters, such as a Feedback Quantizer and Predictive Control, is widely studied in the literature. This work focuses on improving the closed-loop modulation scheme called Feedback Quantizer, which is applied to a three-phase voltage source inverter. This scheme has the natural behavior of mitigating harmonics at low frequencies, which are detrimental to electrical equipment such as transformers. This modulation scheme also provides good tracking for the voltage reference at the fundamental frequency. On the other hand, the disadvantage of this scheme is that it has a variable switching frequency, creating a harmonic spectrum in frequency dispersion, and it also needs a small sampling time to obtain good results. The proposed scheme to improve the modulation scheme is based on a Discrete Space Vector with virtual vectors to obtain a better approximation of the optimal vectors for use in the algorithm. The proposal improves the conventional scheme at a high sampling time (200 μs), obtaining a THD less than 2% in the load current, decreases the noise created by the conventional scheme, and provides a fixed switching frequency. Experimental tests demonstrate the correct operation of the proposed scheme.

Published: January 2024

An electromagnetic cloaking approach is employed with the intention to curb the destructive effects of mutual interference for rectangular and circularly shaped patch antennas situated in a tight spacing. Primarily, we show that by coating the top surface of each patch with an appropriately designed metasurface, the mutual coupling is considerably reduced between the antennas. Furthermore, the cloak construct is extended to a tightly spaced, interleaved linear patch antenna array configuration and it is shown that the coated metasurfaces successfully enhance the performance of each array in terms of their matching characteristics, total efficiencies and far-field realized gain patterns for a broad range of beam-scan angles. For rectangular patches, the cloaked Array I and II achieve corresponding peak total efficiencies of 93% and 90%, in contrast to the total efficiencies of 57% and 21% for uncloaked Array I and II, respectively, at their operating frequencies. Moreover, cloaked rectangular Array I and II exhibit main lobe gains of 13.2 dB and 13.8 dB, whereas uncloaked Array I and II only accomplish main lobe gains of 10 dB and 5.5 dB, respectively. Likewise, for the cloaked circular patches, corresponding total efficiencies of 91% and 89% are recorded for Array I and II, at their operating frequencies (uncloaked Array I and II show peak efficiencies of 71% and 55%, respectively). The main lobe gain for each cloaked circular patch array is approximately 14.2 dB, whereas the uncloaked Array I and II only achieve maximum gains of 10.5 dB and 7.5 dB, respectively.

Published: January 2024

Innovation is the primary driving force for development, and green innovation efficiency (GIE) plays a key role in regional sustainable development. Moreover, environmental regulations (ERs) are also crucial for innovation and green transformation. Considering the heterogeneity of ERs, we assess the dynamic GIE in the industrial sectors of China. We detect their spatial clustering characteristics, and distinguish the impacts of ERs. Results suggest that there exist significant differences in GIE. Provinces such as Hainan, Guangdong and Zhejiang are ranked high, while Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia are ranked at the bottom, which shows some spatial dependence. The relationship between the administrative regulation and GIE demonstrates a U-shape, and has not reached a critical point, whereas the relationship between the market-based regulation and GIE possesses an inverted U-shape, which is highly significant. Furthermore, a positive linear relationship exists between the lagged public participation regulation and GIE. This paper also proposes that the economic development level and industrial structure are vital factors in accelerating industrial GIE. These conclusions provide scientific support for formulating regional transformation strategies.

Published: January 2024

The massive release of mercury undermines environmental sustainability, and with the official entry into force of the Minamata Convention, it is urgent to strengthen the control of mercury pollution. The effectiveness of activated coke (AC) in removing elemental mercury (Hg0) from high temperatures and sulfur nonferrous smelting flue gas before acid production was studied. Experimental results indicated that the optimal temperature for Hg0 adsorption by AC was 150 °C. And the adsorption of Hg0 by AC was predominantly attributed to physical adsorption. Flue gas components (SO2 and O2) impact studies indicated that O2 did not significantly affect Hg0 adsorption compared to pure N2. Conversely, SO2 suppressed the adsorption capacity, while the simultaneous presence of SO2 and O2 exhibited a synergistic effect in facilitating the removal of Hg0. The characterization results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the SO2 molecule favored to anchor at the Oα site, leading to the formation of SO3. This subsequently oxidized the mercury to HgSO4 instead of HgO. The study demonstrates that cheap and easily accessible AC applications in the adsorption of mercury technology may help improve the sustainability of the circular economy and positively impact various environmental aspects.

Published: January 2024

This study investigated the impact of economic, environmental, and social indicators on inclusive growth in 19 member countries of the Asian Cooperation Dialogue from 1995 to 2021. This research employed the Driscoll–Kraay standard error regression technique. The findings reveal that the impact of independent variables on inclusive growth differs significantly among three distinct income categories: lower-middle-income countries (LMYCs), upper-middle-income countries (UMYCs), and high-income countries (HYCs). One of the primary contributions of this research is the provision of empirical evidence concerning the role played by fishery and aquaculture production in fostering inclusive growth in the Asian context. This research also highlights the trade-offs between economic development and environmental sustainability in terms of trade openness; agriculture, forestry, and fishing; the ecological footprint; and renewable energy utilization. Enhancing inclusive growth in Asia requires improving fishery and aquaculture management, diversifying economic activities, reducing the ecological footprint, and increasing renewable energy utilization. This paper suggests some future work directions for extending the analysis to other regions and indicators. The paper also suggests some policy implications for fostering inclusive growth in Asia through regional cooperation, capacity building, technology transfer, and green financing.

Authors: Wang Dan , Shen Ching-Cheng , Tseng Tzuhui Angie , Lai Ching-Yi
Published: January 2024

Religious tourism attracts many pilgrims and tourists to travel to a sacred space, and the issue of its authenticity has become increasingly important. Convenience sampling was used to conduct a survey at Dajia Jenn Lann Temple, Taichung City, Taiwan, and 487 valid questionnaires were obtained. The linear structural equation model constructs the analysis results as follows: (1) The “authenticity of place” and “action authenticity” have a positive relationship on the “place attachment” and act as a mediator variable for the effects of “authenticity of belief” on “authenticity of action”. (2) Tourists who have visited twice or more have a higher impact on “authenticity of belief” than those who have visited once. (3) Among the factors of the “authenticity of belief”, “concept of life” and “concept of God” are the most important; among the factors of the “authenticity of the place”, “spiritual sustenance” is the most important; and among the factors of “authenticity of action”, “experiential action” and “consequential actions” are the most important. The “place identity” is the essential aspect of the “place attachment” factor. This study developed a scale of the authenticity of belief, place, and action. Research results can provide a reference for religious tourism development.
A Discrete-Time Queueing Model of a Bottleneck with an Energy-Saving Mechanism Based on Setup and Shutdown Times
Authors: Kempa Wojciech M. , Paprocka Iwona
Published: January 2024

Producers are encouraged to reduce their energy consumption of manufacturing systems by applying less-energy-intensive modern technologies and advanced machine tools and operating methods at the system level. In the paper, organizational and analytical solutions are combined to model the sustainable production system. Managers can study the behavior of a production system organized using energy-saving rules by changing key parameters of the input model (arrival intensity, bottleneck service rate, buffer size, setup and shutdown time) to analyze the queue size of the production system and therefore performance. A discrete-time queueing model of a single-bottleneck production line with a finite input buffer capacity is proposed. Jobs occur according to a binomial process and are processed individually, one by one, according to the natural FIFO service discipline, with a general discrete-type cumulative distribution function. The total number of jobs present in the system is bounded by a non-random fixed value N. Every time the system becomes empty, an energy-saving mechanism is started: the processing machine (server) is turned off during a geometrically distributed shutdown time. Similarly, the first job arriving into the empty system initializes a geometrically distributed setup time. Identifying renewal moments in the evolution of the model, a system of difference equations is built for the transient queue-size distribution conditioned by the state of the system at the opening. The solution is obtained explicitly in terms of probability-generating functions. In addition, the Drum-Buffer-Rope concept is proposed to reduce the energy consumption of the production line. The throughput of the production system is maximized by adjusting the time between the order arrivals and the size of the input buffer to the capacity of the bottleneck. Turning off a machine under certain conditions and slowing down non-critical machines are strategies to reduce energy consumption. A detailed illustrating numerical and simulation study of the considered model is attached as well, in which the sensitivity of the queue-size behavior to changes of the key input model parameters is investigated.

The Hutuo River Drinking Water Source Area is an important water source of Shijiazhuang (North China Plain). Knowing the characteristics of groundwater chemistry/quality is essential for the protection and management of water resources. However, there are few studies focused on the groundwater chemistry evolution over the drinking water area. In this study, total of 160 groundwater samples were collected in November 2021, and the spatial distribution of groundwater chemistry and related controlling factors were analyzed using hydrological and multivariate analysis. The entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI) was introduced to assess the groundwater quality. The results show that the hydrogeochemical types of groundwater are Ca-HCO3 (78.1%), mixed Ca-Mg-Cl (20%), and Ca-Cl (1.9%) in the area. Graphical and binary diagrams indicate that groundwater hydrochemistry is mainly controlled by water–rock interaction (i.e., rock weathering, mineral dissolution, and ion exchange). Five principal components separated from the principal component analysis represent the rock–water interaction and agricultural return, redox environment, geogenic sources, the utilization of agricultural fertilizer, the weathering of aluminum silicates, and dissolution of carbonates, respectively. More than 70% of the samples are not recommended for irrigation due to the presence of high salt content in groundwater. EWQI assessment demonstrates that the quality of the groundwater is good. The outcomes of this study are significant for understanding the geochemical status of the groundwater in the Hutuo River Drinking Water Source Area, and helping policymakers to protect and manage the groundwater.
Does Marsh Restoration Have an Impact on Dew?
Authors: Xu Yingying , Chen Lei , Hou Haodong , Zhang Yachao
Published: January 2024

As an ecological factor of wetland ecosystems, dew condenses frequently and in large amounts. In the process of marsh wetland restoration, the differences in water depth and plant types in different restoration years may affect dew condensation and evaporation. In this study, by monitoring dew in natural marshes, unrestored marshes (farmlands), and marshes restored 15, 10, and 5 years ago in the plant growth period of 2022 in the Sanjiang Plain, China, it was found that the “cold and wet effect” of marshes was conducive to dew condensation and could prolong the evaporation time of dew. In the process of marsh restoration, the number of dew days increased from 106 days (farmland) to 122 days (15-year marsh restoration), and the duration increased from 791.1 ± 90.3 min (farmland) to 869.4 ± 100.5 min (15-year marsh restoration). The dew intensity increased from 0.06 ± 0.02 mm (farmland) to 0.13 ± 0.04 mm (15-year marsh restoration), and the annual dew amount increased from 35.10 mm/y (farmland) to 44.86 mm/y (15-year marsh restoration). The number of dew days and the duration were similar to those of natural marshes after 15 years of restoration. SO42−, Ca2+, NH4+ and NO3− were the main ions of dew in marsh in each restoration year and farmland. There was no significant difference in the ion concentration (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, NH4+, F−, Cl−, NO2−, and SO42−) of natural marsh dew compared with that 15 years after restoration (p > 0.05), except for NO3−. The marsh restored after 15 years had basically restored the characteristics of natural marsh in terms of the quality and quantity of dew. This study showed that marsh restoration increased dew, and dew was a good indicator of the restoration effect of marshes.

Published: January 2024

Regulations in the Politeknik Statistika STIS (hereinafter called Polstat STIS) aims to produce graduates who are qualified, with integrity and trusted. In enforcing regulations in Polstat STIS, there are a student squad of regulations enforcement, which is called Satuan Penegak Disiplin or SPD in Indonesian, which aims to maintain the order, discipline and student ethics during their activities on and off campus. In upholding the regulations, SPD carries out surprise inspection and during the weekly morning assembly to check completeness and tidiness of student’s uniform as well as his/her look. However, previous research related to the student’s commitment to the campus regulations shows that half of the students have low commitment. This is partly due to the lack of supervision of students. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the discipline and neatness of students on an ongoing basis. In order to conduct the monitoring and inspection on a more regular basis, the method of image recognition can be used to assist in overseeing student discipline and neatness. In this study, we developed a system which can detect in a real-time manner the completeness of attributes the student wears. The system we developed uses object detection to detect the completeness of student attributes. The system shows and records student(s) whose attributes are incomplete. The system expected to improve the discipline and neatness of the students.

Published: January 2024

SOBAT BPS is a service provided by BPS to be used by partners and prospective partners of BPS throughout Indonesia. Alongside the utilization of the SOBAT BPS application, user reviews and assessments become significant elements in measuring the quality and success of this application. Feedback obtained from these assessments indicates that a redesign of the SOBAT BPS application is necessary to provide a better user experience. Prior to redesigning the SOBAT BPS application, a preliminary survey was conducted to understand user perceptions of the current system using heuristic evaluation and the user experience questionnaire (UEQ). Based on the preliminary survey results, there are issues related to the implementation of heuristic principles in the SOBAT BPS application, and only the UEQ stimulation scale received a good ranking. Therefore, the aim of this research is to redesign the SOBAT BPS application using the Lean UX method and to evaluate the redesigned results using heuristic evaluation and UEQ. The evaluation results of the redesigned SOBAT BPS application indicate that the redesign is superior to the current SOBAT BPS application.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric characteristics of the Malaysian University level athletes and to explore potential relationships between the anthropometric measures and 20-m linear sprint performance. Method: Forty male Malaysian University level athletes associated with Malaysian Universities and regularly competing in state level competitions took part in the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed for body mass, stature, 8 skinfold sites, 3 girths, and 2 breadths. Somatotype, body fat % and sum of skinfolds were calculated. A 20-m linear sprint test was performed to assess acceleration and running speed. Results: The pairwise comparison analysis revealed that throwers had significant differences in endomorphy with athletes competing in sprinting, karate, and middle distance (p ˂ 0.05), in mesomorphy with athletes competing in long distance, middle distance, sprinters, footballers and karate (p ˂ 0.05), and in ectomorphy with athletes competing in middle distance and karate. The Pearson correlation coefficient between Body Fat Percent and Sprint Time was found to be 0.374 (p = 0.025, two-tailed), indicating a statistically significant positive correlation between the two variables. Conclusion: Physique is highly correlated with the physical characteristics and the development of the athletic functions required in each sport and is a determinant of success. Body fat percentage influences the ability of an individual to accelerate and run maximally.
