Computational Simulation of Heat Transfer in a Dip Shrink Tank Using Two Different Arrangements of Electrical Resistances
Authors: Luis Velázquez Ortega José , Gómez López Aldo
Published: March 2023

Biohazard recontamination of food can occur in a meat processing plant during slicing, portioning, or racking. Subsequently, to protect them from external agents, not allow the loss of moisture contained in the product, and preserve its safety, they undergo a shrinking process; which consists of submerging in a tank with hot water at an approximate temperature of 87°C, for a certain time the food that has been wrapped with a heat shrink plastic, making it shrink. In this work, the behavior of heat transfer in a non-commercial shrink tank, built with two different arrangements of electrical resistances for water heating, is investigated. The study was carried out through numerical simulations with the implicit method of alternating directions (ADI). The results obtained from the heating times with their respective temperature distributions show that the arrangement with four resistances is the most efficient for the process of heating the water in the shrink tank, achieving a homogeneous temperature of 87°C, in times less than 9 minutes with a heat flux of q = 24.48 W. The validation of the simulations will be carried out in a subsequent work with experimental tests carried out in the shrink tank.

Published: March 2023

Oldest-old adults are expected to represent 4.8% of the world population in 2030 (400 million). Aging influences functional capacity (FC), which is relevant information for this subpopulation and can be assessed by maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) with a conventional exercise test (ET). Exercise-based programs for advanced older adults could improve health status and multiple studies support resistance training as an important option. An observational, retrospective study on FC assessment, with VO2max assessment, in the oldest-old adults, is presented. Eighty-six individuals, ≥75 years old, were included. FC was estimated by VO2max obtained with treadmill ET. Two groups with different FC were compared (A group: <24 mg/kg/min and B group: ≥24 mg/kg/min). Most important differences were found in body mass index and heart rate, with a correlation between these variables and both with VO2max. These findings can help the oldest-old adults’ health care, once exercise programs provide multiple benefits for this subpopulation improving these specific variables, and other clinical aspects. Pre-participation assessment could promote safety, comfort, adherence, and effectiveness in advanced older adults. Exercise programs, including resistance training, impact quality of life, cognitive status, frailty symptoms, risk factors, and all-cause mortality.
Implementation of Associative Memory Learning in Mobile Robots Using Neuromorphic Computing
Authors: Zins Noah , Zhang Yan , An Hongyu
Published: March 2023

Fear conditioning is a behavioral paradigm of learning to predict aversive events. It is a form of associative learning that memorizes an undesirable stimulus (e.g., an electrical shock) and a neutral stimulus (e.g., a tone), resulting in a fear response (such as running away) to the originally neutral stimulus. The association of concurrent events is implemented by strengthening the synaptic connection between the neurons. In this paper, with an analogous methodology, we reproduce the classic fear conditioning experiment of rats using mobile robots and a neuromorphic system. In our design, the acceleration from a vibration platform substitutes the undesirable stimulus in rats. Meanwhile, the brightness of light (dark vs. light) is used for a neutral stimulus, which is analogous to the neutral sound in fear conditioning experiments in rats. The brightness of the light is processed with sparse coding in the Intel Loihi chip. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that our neuromorphic robot successfully, for the first time, reproduces the fear conditioning experiment of rats with a mobile robot. The work exhibits a potential online learning paradigm with no labeled data required. The mobile robot directly memorizes the events by interacting with its surroundings, essentially different from data-driven methods.
The Modulation of Hippocampus Plasticity

Published: March 2023

The hippocampus is a brain region that plays a vital role not only in learning and memory but also in a variety of cognitive processes. Additionally, the hippocampus is known for its plasticity or its ability to adapt structural and functional properties in response to internal and external factors. This plasticity is intricately modulated by a variety of factors, including neurotransmitters (such as glutamate), neurotrophic factors (such as BDNF, IGF-1, VEGFα, and NGF), cytokines, chemokines, adipokines (such as leptin and adiponectin), and hormones (such as cortisol, beta-endorphins, thyroid hormones, and noradrenaline). Changes in the number, length, type, and shape of dendritic spines within the hippocampus can influence neurotransmission, and subsequently behavior, through modulation of glutamatergic neurons. There are several interventions, including pharmacological treatments (such as antidepressants or multimodal drugs) and non-pharmacological interventions (such as non-invasive brain stimulation of targeted regions, physical exercise, and an enriched environment) that promote neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, resulting in beneficial effects on cognition and mood. Both types of therapies have the potential to increase connectivity between the hippocampus and other areas of the brain involved in motor and cognitive control, and thus, improve performance in specific tasks.
Including Nature-Based Success Measurement Criteria in the Life Cycle Assessment
Authors: Chen Austin Miguel , Beermann Kimberly
Published: March 2023

Conventional life cycle assessment (LCA) is a technique to assess environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product’s life or process. Such impacts along the product life or process are assessed via criteria to establish success when accounting for resource intake, waste, and emissions fluxes. In most cases, the assessment range may vary, defined by the designer’s and product’s aims, failing to evaluate all parts of the said cycle completely. This before is said to follow the “reducing unsustainability” paradigm (RUP), and changes are needed toward an assessment based on the “achieving sustainability” paradigm (ASP). Thus, this chapter embarks on the search for assessment approaches, assuming biomimicry principles can improve current LCIA tools. Comprehending the LCA criteria to assess product or process impacts is done via a literature review. Results showed that most assessment tools continue to be developed under the RUP, where three approaches present great potential for an ASP. A discussion over the difference in assessing two case studies in the built environment, net-zero-energy buildings, and sustainable construction projects under both paradigms is presented.

Published: March 2023

Background: In recent decades, many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play a prominent role in tumorigenesis and the progression of human cancers, including gastric cancer (GC), a leading cause of cancer death in Iranian men and women. Studies have demonstrated that thymopoietin antisense transcript 1 (TMPO-AS1) was upregulated in different cancers by acting as an oncogenic lncRNA. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the expression of lncRNA TMPO-AS1 in Iranian patients with GC. Methods: In order to conduct the present study, 40 gastric tumor samples and 40 marginal noncancerous counterparts were collected. The characteristics of patients’ samples were recorded, and the TMPO-AS1 expression levels were evaluated by qRT-PCR analysis. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data for TMPO-AS1 were used and analyzed through GEPIA and TANRIC online tools. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to estimate the diagnostic value. Student t-test, one-way ANOVA, and chi-square test were accomplished via SPSS software. Results: Our data demonstrated that TMPO-AS1 was overexpressed in cancerous tissues compared to adjacent nonmalignant ones (P = 0.0076). None of the demographic and clinicopathological data were associated with TMPO-AS1 expression levels. The TCGA data demonstrated that TMPO-AS1 was upregulated in GC tissues in comparison to adjacent nonmalignant ones (P = 0.001). ROC curve analysis suggested that TMPO-AS1 expression levels could discriminate GC tumor tissues from normal ones (AUC = 0.699, P = 0.001). Conclusions: Altogether, in our study, we demonstrated that lncRNA TMPO-AS1 may be considered a biomarker in Iranian patients with GC. However, further investigations are required to confirm the potential application of this lncRNA in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic applications of GC.

An approximate solution for the time-fractional diffusion equation
Authors: Mosavi Sayed Ali Ahmad
Published: March 2023

In this paper, a numerical method based on a finite difference scheme is proposed for solving the time-fractional diffusion equation (TFDE). The TFDE is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first-order time derivative with Caputo fractional derivative. At first, we introduce a time discrete scheme. Then, we prove the proposed method is unconditionally stable and the approximate solution converges to the exact solution with order O(Δt2−α)O(Δt2−α), where ΔtΔt is the time step size and αα is the order of Caputo derivative. Finally, some examples are presented to verify the order of convergence and show the application of the present method.

Banners or banners are print media used to present or disclose all existing data in any form. Basically, a banner is a stretched material containing essays and images that are usually circulated as a medium to raise an item to the community as a whole. Many non-standard words were found and errors were also found in the composition of the accentuation marks and these problems caused the writing to be inconsistent with the EYD. The main use of language is as a special device, as well as an instrument for exchanging messages with others. In today's circumstances, everyone is considered to communicate in a language because they can articulate the intended message. However, given the different circumstances of language, not all dialects are equally positive or negative, depending on the circumstances. The motivation behind this paper is to (1) describe the predominance of standard language use and accentuation among the general public. (2) Understand the improvements used in Indonesian and accentuation marks in accordance with the Indonesian spelling rules. The scientific technique used in this study uses subjective and observational strategies. There are several banners and billboards near the road that are used as a source of exam information. The findings of this study indicate that there are several bilingual sentences from different parts of spelling, style, accentuation, and sources.

Geologic map of the Albuquerque - Rio Rancho metropolitan area and vicinity, Bernalillo and Sandoval counties, New Mexico
Authors: Connell Sean D.
Published: March 2023

This is the most comprehensive compilation of the geology of the Albuquerque Basin to be printed in 30 years. The area covered by this new compilation, though not as large as the earlier map, is presented at a scale nearly four times the detail (1:50,000 scale compared to the earlier map's 1:190,000 scale). This new geologic map is a compilation of sixteen 7.5-min USGS quadrangle maps and encompasses an area from Tijeras Arroyo on the south to Santa Ana Mesa north of Santa Ana and San Felipe Pueblos, and from the crest of the Sandia Mountains westward across the Rio Grande and onto the Llano de Albuquerque (West Mesa) west of the city limits of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.

This geologic map graphically displays information on the distribution, character, orientation, and stratigraphic relationships of rock and surficial units and structural features. The map and accompanying cross sections were compiled from geologic field mapping and additionally from available aerial photography, satellite imagery, and drill-hole data (many published and unpublished reports, examination of lithologic cuttings, and from the interpretation of borehole geophysical log data).

The map and accompanying cross sections represent the most informed interpretations of the known faults in the Albuquerque-Rio Rancho area that are presently available. In addition to the positions of many faults, the cross sections show the approximate vertical extent of poorly consolidated earth materials that may pose liquefaction hazards. This map also contains derivative maps selected to portray geologically important features in the metropolitan area, such as elevations of ground water levels, and the mostly buried boundary between generally poorly consolidated and saturated aquifer materials and the more consolidated underlying materials. The gravity anomaly map is a geophysical dataset that shows major geological structures buried beneath the metropolitan area and vicinity.

Authors: Shan Ahmad Gul , Zafarullah Muhammad , Anjum Safoora , Arfeen Samar
Published: March 2023

Background: Transradial artery is being utilized by an expanding number of interventional cardiologists to perform percutaneous interventions. Nevertheless, occlusion of radial artery (RAO) is prominent after transradial (TR) catheterization. The use of anticoagulant drugs is one way to prevent RAO. The use of high-dose heparin and standard-dose heparin is still debatable. The present study will analyze the non-randomized controlled trials of standard and high doses of heparin for the prevention of radial artery occlusion after transradial catheterization.

Methodology: A prospective double-blinded non-randomized controlled trial was carried out. Demographic data on socio-economic statuses, such as age, occupation, gender, and smoking habits, were collected. Grouping was done so that patients may either be placed in group 1, which will receive 2500UI or into group 2, which will get 5000UI of unfractionated heparin. RAO was the critical endpoint of our study. Major bleeding, hematomas, and radial artery spasms were secondary outcome measures.

Results: 471 patients were made part of this study. 235 patients were placed in group A which received 2500IU, and 236 were placed in group B, which received 5000IU. RAO was noted to be significantly higher in the group that received the standard dose of UFH as compared to the group that received a high dose of UFH (8 % vs. 3.3 %, p = 0.005). Female gender (OR: 2.951, 95% CI: 1.57-5.46, p = 0.002), hypertension (OR: 0.02, 95% CI: p = 0.005 and standard dose UFH (OR: 2.822, 95% CI: 1.343 – 5.911, p =. 0.007) were found to be the independent predictors of RAO.

Conclusion: Weight-adjusted higher dosage of UFH in TRA for diagnosis yielded remarkable results in reducing the rates of early RAO against the standard administered dosage.

Orientasi seksual yang berbeda dari heteroseksual sering dianggap sebagai sebuah penyimpangan, bahkan dalam pandangan agama Kristen para pelaku sering divonis sebagai orang yang berdosa. Pandangan ini diperkuat dengan dukungan ayat-ayat Alkitab. Salah satu bagian Alkitab yang sering digunakan untuk menghakimi kaum lesbian dan homoseksual adalah Teks Roma 1:26-32. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji respons dalam bentuk pemahaman dan penerimaan pemuda di Seksi Pelayanan Pemuda Jemaat GKE Eppata Banjarmasin tentang teks Alkitab ini dan kaitannya dengan kelompok lesbian dan homoseksual. Metode yang digunakan adalah Reader-Response Criticism yang bertujuan untuk menggali arti teks bukan hanya dari dalam teks itu sendiri, melainkan dari pembacanya. Pembaca memiliki peran penting dalam memberikan arti dari sebuah teks. Dari hasil Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dapat disimpulkan bahwa walaupun terdapat respons beragam antara yang menerima dan menolak keberadaan kaum lesbian dan homoseksual, namun semua sepakat bahwa anugerah Allah tidak terbatas dan berlaku juga untuk mereka.

Within a society, not only citizens but also economic entities, social organizations and the state as a complex legal organization can play an important role in achieving common interests. Environmental policy cannot be implemented by just one ministry, one city, one company, environmental protection requires joint work. Today, Serbia is mature enough to take into account every aspect of the life of its citizens and establish harmony between the increase of people's living standards and the preservation of social peace with minimal environmental pollution. The paper analyzes the importance of both the private and public sectors in terms of implementing environmental policy and establishing a balance between economic progress and environmental protection. On the other hand, it is pointed out that the adoption and implementation of environmental legislation entails high costs and significant investments, which can be an insurmountable obstacle for countries with poor economic opportunities.

Not only has social media altered the way news is distributed, but it has also called into question long-held views about what news should look like. One thing is certain: this situation cannot be sustained; a new paradigm must be developed to restore trust in the media and the information they provide.

O criador de roupas enquanto artista
Authors: Nascimento Suzie Ferreira do
Published: March 2023

Com este texto o que pretendemos é discutir, com vistas ao fazer design, se há pressupostos ao ato de criação e se é legítima a aproximação entre o criador de moda e os criadores das demais artes. Para tal, fizemos alusão especificamente ao objeto roupa, sobretudo pelo seu caráter emblemático dentro do sistema moda.
Trouxemos para essa reflexão tanto os pensadores críticos contemporâneos como também os clássicos. Para além da discussão sobre os limites entre arte e técnica, partimos do pressuposto de que se o mundo se transforma pelas mãos do homem, esse mesmo homem é criador, e se ele o faz, é porque traz em si o impulso e a capacidade para tal. De modo que interessa-nos menos quantificar e qualificar tais criações e mais refletir sobre o ato criador em si.
“Rir é muito bom”: o riso e o teatro de bonecos para a infância na obra de Maria Mazzetti – aproximações
Authors: Mendonça Tânia Gomes
Published: March 2023

Este artigo almeja lançar luz às ideias de comicidade e de riso presentes em uma das obras da bonequeira Maria Mazzetti. A partir da análise de alguns de seus textos, buscamos refletir a respeito de temas como a perspectiva ideal de diversão para o público infantil, a concepção de infância imbuída na trajetória desta artista e a relação do riso com o que se compreendia a respeito do movimento da Escola Nova. Parte-se da ideia de que as suas concepções podem ser expandidas para outras autoras do teatro de bonecos nacional do mesmo período, o que nos leva a concluir que as reflexões aqui desenvolvidas sugerem, de certo modo, aspectos da história mais ampla do teatro de bonecos brasileiro.
