Authors:   G.H. Raisoni Institute of Engineering and Technology, Nagpur, India, Arikar Ms. Ashwini
Published: May 2024

The bracing's size and placement can have a big effect on the structural stability. Although the impact of openings in bracing reflexes is well acknowledged, opinions of how openings respond at various opening sites are divided. Placement of bracing at structurally important locations may improve resistance to lateral forces. The main problems bracings face are shear and uplift forces. For columns to survive horizontal seismic stresses and to minimize excessive movement of the roof and higher floors, they must have sufficient lateral strength. Reinforcements can be made of a variety of materials, such as rigid frame brackets, connecting rod brackets, dynamic frame walls, lock brackets, and column brackets. In order to get information and insights related to the research issue, this study looks into applicable to this research. Keywords— Bracings, High Rise Structure, Wind Load, Terrain category etc.

Authors:   Department of Computer Engineering, Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Technology Pimpri, Pune, India1, Shingne Shraddha
Published: May 2024

In today's food market, consumers are often misled by deceptive marketing practices regarding the nutritional content of packaged food products. The text size on packaged food products is often small, making it difficult for consumers to read and understand the ingredients and nutritional information. Additionally, many ingredients are listed using scientific or medical terms, which can be unfamiliar and confusing to the average consumer. Furthermore, consumers are often drawn to front-of-pack labels and promotional slogans with attractive text sizes and colours, which can divert their attention from scrutinizing the ingredients list. This project, titled ‘Unveiling packaged foods’ addresses these issues and aim to develop a user-centric web application that promotes informed consumer food choices. The application allows users to scan the barcode or search for a packaged food product to receive detailed ingredient and nutritional analysis harnessing the power of data visualizations and web technology. Through data visualizations, we provide insights into the nutritional content of products in a quicker and easier way, helping consumers to easily identify healthier options and avoid products that may be detrimental to their health. Moreover, the project employs a metric known as ‘Nutri-Score’ to assess the nutritional quality of packaged food products. The project demonstrates the potential of technology to empower consumers to make healthier food choices and highlights the importance of transparent and accessible information in the food industry.

A Review Study on Composite +8 Structure with Application of Damper on Different Locations Using Time History Analysis
Authors:   G H Raisoni Institute of Engineering & Technology Nagpur, Khandare Omika
Published: May 2024

These viscous dampers are unique in that the velocity can be directly correlated with the damping properties and, consequently, the quantity of energy dissipated. Because of the activity of seismic dangers, the viscous damper's response is thought to be out of phase with those. This is due to the fact that the damping device's damping forces changes inversely with a tall building's dynamic lateral displacements. For a clearer understanding, picture a building that is trembling laterally during an earthquake. When the building's deflection is at its highest, the stress in lateral load-resisting components like frame columns reach its maximum. When a fluid viscous damper reaches its maximum deflection, its damping force will be zero, which will cause the damper stroking velocity to zero when the building reverses direction. When the building returns to its natural upright position, maximum damper force will be experienced at maximum velocity while moving in the opposite direction. At this stage, the lateral load-resisting elements' stresses are at their lowest. As a result, when the building travels from its resting position to its maximum lateral deflection position, the damping supplied by the device changes from maximum to minimum. Examine a few research studies to learn more about working on FVD. The authors of this paper examine FVD, its use, and its impact in various scenarios.

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ANIMAL FOOD MAKING MACHINE USING WASTE FRUITS AND VEGETABLE PULP
Authors:   Acharya Institute of Technology, Bengaluru-590018, M N Chandan
Published: May 2024

Nowadays, the availability of food for cattle is a significant issue for farmers, exacerbated by environmental conditions like drought. Since human life is somewhat dependent on cattle, it is essential to meet their dietary needs. One potential solution involves utilizing the fruit and vegetable pulp that typically goes to waste. By reducing the moisture content, which leads to decay, this pulp can be repurposed effectively. The process, known as "pulp to pedigree," involves heating the pulp to reduce its moisture content and then grinding it into a form that can be fed to animals. This machine not only decreases the moisture content but also aids in storing the pulp. Once dried, the pulp is finely ground into a pedigree that can be readily used as cattle feed, thus saving valuable pulp from being wasted. The machine operates through a heating and drying process using heating elements and hot air flow. By maintaining the furnace temperature and air velocity at optimal levels for the specific fruit pulp and waste from juicers, the moisture content can be minimized without harming the nutrients. This drying process extends the shelf life of the fruit waste, which can then be directly used as animal feed. This approach enhances animal nutrition and reduces fruit waste, providing a practical solution to the cattle food availability problem.

Authors: Demirel Samet , Aydın Fatih
Published: May 2024

The feature selection process is indispensable for the machine learning area to avoid the curse of dimensionality. Hereof, the feature selection techniques endeavor to handle this issue. Yet, the feature selection techniques hold several weaknesses: (i) the efficacy of the machine learning methods could be quite different on the chosen features (ii) by depending on the selected subset, substantial differences in the effectiveness of the machine learning algorithms could also be monitored (iii) the feature selection algorithms can consume much time on massive data. In this work, to address the issues above, we suggest a new and quick unsupervised feature selection procedure, which is based on a filter and univariate technique. The offered approach together regards both the Shannon entropy computed by the symmetry of the distribution and the cumulative entropy of the distribution. As a consequence of comparisons done with some cutting-edge feature selection strategies, the empirical results indicate that the presented algorithm solves these problems in a better way than other methods.

Introduction: Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) is the most common congenital craniofacial anomaly, with multifactorial etiology. An analysis of cases in multiplex families - with more than one affected family member, other than first degree - may lead to a better delimitation of the genetic causes of this anomaly, especially those caused by rare variants. Objectives: The objective of this work was to identify the most prevalent types of cleft lip and palate in patients treated in a specialized service, verifying the familial recurrence of CL/P, in addition to the presence of other comorbidities present in these families. Methods: Retrospective, cross-sectional study of medical records analysis. The medical records of 50 patients with cleft lip and palate treated at a specialized reference center in Curitiba (PR) were selected and the types of clefts, family history, especially in more distant relatives, and the presence of other comorbidities were analyzed. Results: 60% of patients had cleft lip and palate; 30% had only cleft lip and 8% had only cleft palate. Of the cleft lip and palate, 47.8% were unilateral on the left; 15.2% unilateral to the right and 34.8% bilateral. Regarding location, 32% of the fissures were pre-incisive foramen; 8% post-incisive foramen; 58% incisive foramen transformation. When the sex of affected individuals, 44% were male and 56% were female. In family members, it was observed that 32 families had cleft lip and palate in second and third degree relatives, characterizing themselves as multiplex families. Conclusion: The profile of the patient with cleft lip and palate is female, with unilateral cleft lip and palate on the left and incisive transforamen. In families, we observed that the most common type of cleft is also segregating to the lip and palate and that 64% of isolated individuals have multiplex families.

INTRODUCTION: Fructose is a monosaccharide found in various plant sources, honey, and fruits, as well as composing sucrose. After consumption, fructose absorption is facilitated by glucose transporters and metabolized in the liver, small intestine, and kidneys, where enzymes catalyze the breakdown of this monosaccharide. Hereditary Fructose Intolerance results from mutations in the ALDOB gene, which encodes the enzyme aldolase B, the primary enzyme involved in fructose metabolism, thus intolerance is a result of deficiency of this enzyme. OBJECTIVES: To review the etiological factors of Hereditary Fructose Intolerance, its main symptoms, and the treatment that should be performed. METHODOLOGY: Narrative literature review in biochemistry and genetics textbooks and in electronic databases (PubMed, Orphanet, Google Scholar, and Scielo) between July and September 2023. RESULTS: Hereditary Fructose Intolerance, estimated to have a prevalence of 1/40,000 in Europe, consists of aldolase B deficiency, responsible for fructose catabolism. Caused by genetic mutations, enzyme coding is affected, leading to the accumulation of fructose-1-phosphate in the liver, kidneys, and small intestine, which is harmful to these organs. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence, and hypoglycemia. Hepatic inflammation, renal overload, and tubular reabsorption difficulty also occur. It is noted that symptoms are not manifested in infants, as they usually occur during dietary diversification when foods containing fructose are ingested. CONCLUSION: Since it is a result of genetic mutations, there is no effective treatment as in the case of lactose intolerance, where aldolase B is not available in capsule form like lactase. Therefore, treatment involves dietary restriction of fructose, sucrose, sucralose, and sorbitol, with supplementation of essential vitamins present in foods containing these compounds being necessary. If left untreated, it can result in renal failure, metabolic acidosis, hepatic cirrhosis, coma, and death.

Published: May 2024

Marigold (Tagetes spp.) belongs to family Asteraceae, native to Mexico, is one of the most important flower crop grown commercially in different parts of India. The application of haploid techniques as anther culture can considerably accelerate marigold breeding programmes by providing homozygous doubled haploid (DH) lines for F1 hybrid seed production. Therefore, the objective of the present investigation was to study the effect of growth regulators for in vitro regeneration in both African marigold and French marigold genotypes viz., Pusa Basanti Gainda and Pusa Arpita, respectively for haploid induction. Among the different treatments tested for callus induction, anthers cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP + 1.0 mg/l 2,4-D + 45 g/l sucrose significantly induced highest (38.74%) callus in the shortest period of time (16 days). Among two genotypes tested, embryogenic callus induction (27.70%) was significantly higher in Pusa Arpita over Pusa Basanti Gainda (23.37%). Among the different regeneration treatments, the highest adventitious shoot bud induction (13.32%), maximum (1.09) number of buds/callus in shortest duration (19.47 days) was observed in anther derived callus cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP + 0.5mg/l NAA + 30 g/l sucrose. Among two genotypes evaluated for shoot bud induction, maximum (3.81%) regeneration was recorded in Pusa Arpita over Pusa Basanti Gainda (2.90%). In French genotype, the whole regeneration process was completed in 30 days whereas in African genotype it took nearly 40 days. This rapid regeneration system from anthers is highly useful in inducing haploids and di-haploids in African and French marigold lines, respectively.

Revisión al conocimiento del Burrito Pico Rojo (Mustelirallus erythrops) en Argentina: una elusiva sombra que irrumpe en quebrachales y palmares del Chaco Oriental argentino
Authors: Bodrati Alejandro , Di Sallo Facundo G.
Published: May 2024

The Paint-billed Crake (Mustelirallus erythrops) is a species with minimal information on distribution and natural history, and one of the least known rallids in the Americas. In Argentina, for most of the 20th century, it was indicated only in the northwest corner of the country. Factors such as cryptic habits, poorly known, voices and a short period of vocal activity present challenges to its detection and study. We compiled information about its presence in Argentina from fieldwork, bibliographic searches, and a review of digital citizen science platforms. In the last 40 years, sporadic records in the northeast, center, and south of the country suggest that the distribution is much broader than previously assumed. Based on recordings, we discuss five vocalizations and the context in which they are emitted. We postulate that the Paint-billed Crake presents irruptions of a notable number of individuals that vocalize in very short time cycles. This phenomenon seems to be linked to the supply of slightly flooded habitats after intense rains in sectors of the oriental or humid Chaco.

Authors: Tanrıvermiş Şenay
Published: May 2024

This article looks into the multifaceted dimensions of the gaze, examining its influence on individual and collective identities across various contexts. From early childhood development and existentialism to cinematic escapades and literary analyses, the text navigates through philosophical, psychological, and sociocultural perspectives. It scrutinizes how the gaze intertwines with power dynamics, revealing its roles in identity formation, desire, and the construction of reality. Drawing from Lacanian insights, the text dissects illusions, the pursuit of wholeness, and the cinematic escape from lack. Literary perspectives, including feminist critiques and psychoanalytic examinations, further unravel the complexities of the gaze, touching upon issues of gender, fetishism, and power relations. The discussion extends to communal dimensions, exploring how the gaze contributes to the creation of 'imagined geographies' and 'imagined communities,' with a focus on Western dominance and orientalism. The concluding reflection underscores the omnipotence of the gaze, tying together divine perceptions in literature and its pervasive influence in contemporary media. Overall, the abstract encapsulates a profound inquiry into the intricacies of the gaze and its pervasive impact on human ex-periences and societal structures.

Skin biopsy was taken from clinically suspected patients and the diagnosis was made with histopathologic confirmation. Histopathologic diagnosis was made by demonstration of mast cells showing metachromasia with toluidine blue in full-thickness skin biopsy.
Results: The median age at presentation was 10.0 months (min-max: 1.0-117.0). While rash and pruritus were the most common complaints seen in all patients; erythema was seen in 9 (90%) patients. The most common rash type was maculopapular. One (10.0%) patient had nodules and mastocytoma. When the laboratory findings of the patients were evaluated, no patient had thrombocytopenia or leukopenia. One patient had anemia. The median value of total IgE values was 65.0 IU/ml (8.0-1719.0).
Conclusion: In our study, all patients had symptoms of rash and pruritus. The most common lesion type in our study was maculopapular rash (UP type) seen in 4 patients (40%). Nodules and mastocytoma (NM type) were seen in 1 patient (10%). In our study covering an eight-year period, all of our patients had cutaneous mastocytosis and none of them had systemic involvement.

Introduction and Aim
Considering the advantages and disadvantages of different clinical situations, the surface characteristics of the post materials significantly affect the connection of the post material with dentin. In this study, the surface properties of PEEK posts, which are not yet widely used as post materials, were examined in terms of their effects on dentin bonding.
Method
66 extracted upper central incisor-type human teeth that had undergone canal treatment with single and straight root canals were used. Posts were produced ) (n=11) from metal, fiber, and PEEK materials to form six groups (CP-0, CP-1, FP-0, FP-1, PP-0, and PP-1). The surface roughness of each post was examined by using a tactile profilometer. Zirconium full crowns, compatible with the central maxillary incisor anatomy, were produced for 66 samples with completed post-core production and polymerized using dual-cure resin cement (Monobond plus Vivadent). Subsequently, the samples were subjected to fracture strength testing at a 135-degree angle to the long axis of the tooth from the palatal side of the zirconium crown at a speed of 0.02 cm/min using a universal testing machine. After the test, the samples were classified into three groups based on the type of fracture: adhesive, cohesive, and mixed. One-way ANOVA and Pearson’s chi-squared tests were used for statistical analysis.
Results
The surface roughness value of the PEEK post group (1.42 ± 0.21) was significantly lower than that of the metal and fiber post groups. Although no significant difference was found in terms of the fracture type, the adhesive failure rate was higher in the PEEK post group (P

The article delves into the imperative need and strategies to enhance the quality of professional Armenian teaching within the University settings. Its objective is to underscore the significance of integrating Armenian language courses into the University curricula and to elucidate the course’s content. In this context, the experience of the YSMU Armenian Language Department stands out for its contribution to resolving challenges in teaching professional language. Over the years, the department has progressively developed a comprehensive system of practical tasks, aimed at fostering students’ proficiency in composing medical texts and describing diseases.
The article argues convincingly for the inclusion of the “Professional Armenian Language” course, building upon the subject of “Armenian Language” in the secondary education, particularly in non-specialized universities. It emphasizes that Universities not only equip students with professional skills, but also play a pivotal role in nurturing citizens of the Armenian national state, wherein the national language and culture constitute integral components of their identity.
