Published: June 2023

Bridges suffer damage throughout their lives due to variations in the performance of the materials, loads, and other uncontrollable factors. During the service period of the structure, the key parts will continue to accumulate damage and defects trapped, affecting the safety of its use. Therefore, structural health monitoring is important for engineering structures. In this work, the numerical and experimental verifications are used to verify the effectiveness of the wavelet packet energy curvature difference (WPECD) method in identifying structural damage, the beam body replaced by the bridge model is used to simulate the two damage levels. In this work the damage level increases from 5% to 20%. The acceleration response of each point in intact and damaged states was tested, and the WPECD method was used to identify the damage, and the effect of the number of decomposition layers and the wavelet function on the Knot identification effect were studied. The results of the presented method show that the WPECD technique is more effective for damage, and sensitive in small lesions (5%), it can also be effectively identified. It shows that the method is effective and can be applied to practical engineering.

Plasmids: Cause of Bacterial Diversity
Authors: KO IYEVHOBU
Published: June 2023

Plasmids, that is, extrachromosomal DNA, were first recognized in Enterobacteriaceae. From that point onward, they were found in practically every one of the strains noticed. The plasmid structure is made out of roundabout twofold abandoned DNA atoms that self-governingly recreate in the host cell. Its length can differ from a couple to many kilobases (kb). In microorganisms, plasmids are moved chiefly on a level plane through the formation cycle. The plasmid replication interaction can be isolated into three phases: inception, expansion and end. The interaction includes DNA helicase I, DNA gyrase, DNA polymerase III, endonuclease and ligase. The plasmid contains qualities fundamental for the capacity of the plasmid and its conservation in the host cell (commencement and control of replication). Some of them have qualities that control the steadiness of the plasmid. Notwithstanding, microorganisms have numerous organic capacities identified with plasmids. The recognizable proof and order of plasmids depend on their lasting hereditary qualities in all plasmids. They are: the capacity to protect themselves and control the replication cycle in the host cell. Along these lines, the plasmid order between the contradictory gatherings is done. The replicon composing technique dependent on genotype instead of phenotypic qualities has similar outcomes as jumble bunching

Utilization of IMRT and Brachytherapy for Low-Risk and Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer Patients: Analysis of the RealWorld Scenario
Authors: TK Podder
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Two main techniques in radiation therapy (RT) for the treatment of low-risk and intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa) are intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and brachytherapy (BT). In this study, the pattern of utilization of IMRT, low dose-rate (LDR) BT, and high dose-rate (HDR) BT has been evaluated using a large hospital based registry database. Methods: We analyzed a very large data set of N0, M0, non-surgical, stage T1-T2c prostate cancer patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2015 from the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Based on the RT techniques used, we considered three groups of patients: (1) IMRT (n=61,159; 48.4%) who received an initial as well as a boost treatment with the IMRT, (2) BT LDR (n=43,293; 34.3%), and (3) BT HDR (n=21,938; 17.3%). A total dose of 70-81Gy for IMRT was considered. For brachytherapy, LDR and HDR or unspecified brachytherapy was considered as monotherapy. Patients were stratified according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines into: low-risk [clinical stage T1-T2a, Gleason Score (GS) of ≤ 6 (Grade Group 1), and Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of < 10 ng/mL] and intermediate-risk [clinical stage T2b-T2c, GS of 7 (Grade Groups 2 and 3), and PSA of 10-20 ng/mL]. OS probability was determined using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Propensityscore matched (PSM) analysis was performed for each risk group (low and intermediate) for the three research treatment modalities (IMRT, BT LDR, and BT HDR). IBM SPSS software was used for statistical analysis; p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There has been a relative increase in IMRT usage for the treatment of both low-risk (29% to 53%) and intermediaterisk (53% to 77%) PCa patients from 2004 to 2015. Observed comparable median OS in low-risk and intermediate-risk patients in these three modalities IMRT (74.8/63.4 mo.), LDR (77.7/65.7 mo.) and HDR (83.5/72.1 mo.). Conclusion: The pattern of utilization of RT modality seems inclined toward increased use of IMRT over brachytherapy (59% vs. 41%) for both the low-risk and intermediate-risk PCa patients. Over the years, use of IMRT increased more in low-risk patient group than in intermediate-risk group.
Medicinal Plants in Combating Breast Carcinogenesis: A Review on Recent Investigations
Authors: S Kaur
Published: June 2023

Breast cancer is the most prevalent disease among women and a challenge for the scientific and medical community. Existing treatments for breast cancer are surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy. These treatments have the potential to stop the growth and spread of cancer, particularly when the condition is diagnosed at an early stage. As cancer cells reproduce more frequently than the vast majority of normal cells, chemotherapy has a greater chance of successfully killing cancer cells. Certain pharmaceuticals are able to terminate dividing cells by inflicting damage on the section of the cell’s control centre that is responsible for the process of cell division. Other medications are capable of interfering with the chemical processes that are necessary for cell division. On the other hand, as cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, in which, the process of curing the disease is extremely difficult. Therefore, it is prudent to prevent the occurrence of this deadly disease. Several researches have consistently found an inverse relationship between cancer and natural sources, including plant extracts, fractions and active components. The synergistic and cumulative effects of bioactive phytochemicals found in whole plant extracts have been related to these positive effects. In this review, we attempted to scrutinize the antibreast cancer potential of quite a few extracts/ fractions/active components derived from various plant sources such Alpina galaga, Annona muricata, Ficus carica, Murraya koenigii, Nigella sativa, Rosmarinus officinalis, Urtica dioica, According to recent research, above mention plants have showed anticancer properties by inhibiting cell proliferation, induces apoptosis and causing cell-cycle arrest in preclinical in vitro and in vivo breast cancer models. This review will help the scientific and medical community for novel drug discovery against breast carcinogenesis.

Published: June 2023

This is a study of an action research project conducted in one of the biggest university departments for sociology in a Central Eastern European capital during the first half of the 2000s. The paper shows that researchers’ images of society have a strong impact on social scientific methodology, scientific explanations and narratives. I offer an example of how realist approaches to science and technology studies can be used in a field study and discuss the benefits and limitations of such an endeavor, which I define as an interpretive and explanatory social scientific work. The analysis shows ways in which latent knowledge structures influenced the wording of a questionnaire used in the research, the types of data that were gathered, and how the data were interpreted. These knowledge structures include notions concerning local policy discussions, different social policy traditions, and images of a Roma minority struggling with the effects of structural poverty and prejudices.
