OPTIMIZATION OF PRODUCTION PROCESS OF PEELED GRAINS OF WHEAT OF DIFFERENT SOLIDITY
Authors: Hospodarenko Hrigorij , Liubich Vitaliy , Novikov Volodymyr
Published: November 2018

Wheat is a leading agricultural plant with one of most gross grain harvest in the world. It is a valuable raw material for producing the wide assortment of food products. That is why little studied peculiarities of it need specification, and processing technologies – improvement.

The aim of the conducted studies was in specifying of processing regimes of solid and soft wheat grains into peeled ones that allowed to choose rational regimes of water-thermal processing for attaining their maximal output, boiling coefficient and decrease of a preparation duration.

It was proved, that the effect of heat and moisture mostly influences the output of grains and duration of their boiling, despite the solidity. The boiling coefficient depends on the solidity type more.

The optimal mode as to thermal processing at production of peeled grains of soft wheat is is steaming during 10 min with hydration during 10–12 min.

It is rational to steam solid wheat during 10 min with further hydration during 12–13 min at processing.

Authors: Makki Mohammed S.T. , Abdel-Rahman Reda M. , Alharbi Abdulrahman Salim
Published: November 2018

Aim and Objective: It is known that the Lamotrigine drug has anti-inflammatory activity. So it was
the goal to prepare similar compounds containing fluorine atoms (fluorine-substituted 3,5-diamino-6-aryl-
1,2,4-triazines) as Lamotrigine drug analogs to evaluate them as an anti-inflammatory.

Materials and Methods:

The novel fluorine substituted 3,5-diamino-6-aryl-1,2,4-triazines as new Lamotrigine
analogs were prepared via aminolysis and/ or ammonolysis of the corresponding 3-thioxo-6-aryl-1,2,4-triazin-
5-ones in ethanolic media.

Results: All the new targets were deduced upon their elemental analysis and spectral data as well as screened
as anti-inflammatory agents, where we found that the fluorinated systems 15 and 9-11 exhibited high and more
activity.

Conclusion:

Simple routes to synthesize some more novel fluorinated Lamotrigine analogs have been reported.
The new targets exhibited high and moderate anti-inflammatory probes. Presence of both amino and CF3
groups caused high biological activities of these compounds were studied.
MicroRNA in Cervical Carcinogenesis: Window of Therapeutic Potential
Authors: Sharma Shiksha , Vashist Minakshi
Published: November 2018

Background:

Cervical cancer is the second leading malignancy for women. In developing countries, it is becoming a public health trouble in adult women. Persistent cervical infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) may contribute to the development of cervical cancer. The danger is in the fact that woman with HPV can go unnoticed for years. So, women with early cervical cancer and pre-malignant neoplastic disease show no symptoms, until cancer becomes invasive and grows into the nearby tissue. A large number of females die from the disease each year due to late diagnosis and resistance to conventional treatment. In particular, in advanced tumor stage, low response to chemotherapy results in poor prognosis and recurrence. Therefore, new therapies and indicators are needed to overcome chemo-resistance as well as early diagnosis of cancer. There is a continuous search for prognostic and predictive markers in order to help optimize and personalize treatment for improvement in the outcome of cervical cancer.

Recent Findings:

Non-coding regulatory RNAs that control gene expression at the posttranscriptional level are seeking the attention of scientists in this area. Certain microRNAs have been located near cancer susceptibility loci that correlate tumorgenesis. Multiple profiling studies have revealed a significant change in miRNA expression in cervical cancer patients. A number of miRNAs have shown a consistent up-regulation or down regulation throughout the different stages of cervical cancer.

Conclusion:

Investigation of microRNAs involved in carcinogenesis and progression of cervical cancer in tissue-specific manner is opening a window in early diagnosis and therapeutics.
A Survey on Medical Image Analysis in Capsule Endoscopy
Authors: Jani Kuntesh Ketan , Srivastava Rajeev
Published: November 2018

Background and Objective:

Capsule Endoscopy (CE) is a non-invasive, patient-friendly
alternative to conventional endoscopy procedure. However, CE produces 6 to 8 hrs long video posing a tedious challenge to a gastroenterologist for abnormality detection. Major challenges to an
expert are lengthy videos, need of constant concentration and subjectivity of the abnormality. To
address these challenges along with high diagnostic accuracy, design and development of automated
abnormality detection system is a must. Machine learning and computer vision techniques are devised to develop such automated systems.

Methods:

Study presents a review of quality research papers published in IEEE, Scopus, and Science
Direct database with search criteria as capsule endoscopy, engineering, and journal papers. The initial search retrieved 144 publications. After evaluating all articles, 62 publications pertaining to image analysis are selected.

Results:

This paper presents a rigorous review comprising all the aspects of medical image analysis
concerning capsule endoscopy namely video summarization and redundant image elimination, Image
enhancement and interpretation, segmentation and region identification, Computer-aided abnormality detection in capsule endoscopy, Image and video compression. The study provides a comparative
analysis of various approaches, experimental setup, performance, strengths, and limitations of the
aspects stated above.

Conclusion:

The analyzed image analysis techniques for capsule endoscopy have not yet overcome
all current challenges mainly due to lack of dataset and complex nature of the gastrointestinal tract.
Exploring the Role of Water Molecules in the Ligand Binding Domain of PDE4B and PDE4D: Virtual Screening Based Molecular Docking of Some Active Scaffolds
Authors: Singh Priya , Mishra Mitali , Agarwal Shivangi , Sau Samaresh , Iyer Arun K. , Kashaw Sushil K.
Published: November 2018

Background:

The phosphodiesterase (PDE) is a superfamily represented by four genes: PDE4A,
B,C, and D which cause the hydrolysis of phosphodiester bond of cAMP to yield inactive AMP. c-AMP
catalyzing enzyme is predominant in inflammatory and immunomodulatory cells. Therapy to treat Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with the use of PDE4 inhibitors is highly envisaged.

Objective:

A molecular docking experiment with large dataset of diverse scaffolds has been performed on
PDE4 inhibitors to analyze the role of amino acid responsible for binding and activation of the secondary
transmitters. Apart from the general docking experiment, the main focus was to discover the role of water
molecules present in the ligand-binding domain.

Methods:

All the compounds were docked in the PDE4B and PDE4D active cavity to produce the free
binding energy scores and spatial disposition/orientation of chemical groups of inhibitors around the cavity.
Under uniform condition, the experiments were carried out with and without water molecules in the LBD.
The exhaustive study was carried out on the Autodock 4.2 software and explored the role of water molecules
present in the binding domain.

Results:

In presence of water molecule, Roflumilast has more binding affinity (-8.48 Kcal/mol with
PDE4B enzyme and -8.91 Kcal/mol with PDE4D enzyme) and forms two hydrogen bonds with Gln443 and
Glu369 and amino acid with PDE4B and PDE4D enzymes respectively. While in absence of water molecule
its binding affinity has decreased (-7.3 Kcal/mol with PDE4B enzyme and -5.17 Kcal/mol with
PDE4D enzyme) as well as no H-bond interactions were observed. Similar observation was made with clinically
tested molecules.

Conclusion:

In protein-ligand binding interactions, appropriate selection of water molecules facilitated the
ligand binding, which eventually enhances the efficiency as well as the efficacy of ligand binding.

Authors: Wu Cheng-Da , Fang Te-Hua , Chao Kuan-Chi
Published: November 2018

Background:

The nanomechanical properties of Zr50Cu50 metallic glass under tension are
studied. The effects of temperature and alloy composition are investigated in terms of atomic trajectories,
slip vectors, stress-strain curve, and radial distribution function.

Methods:

The molecular dynamics simulations based on the many-body tight-binding potential are
applied to analyze the nanomechanical properties of metallic glass under tension.

Results:

The mechanical properties of the metallic glass are sensitive to temperature and alloy composition.
Under tensile deformation, the stress increases with increasing temperature and Zr content in
the alloys. At higher temperatures, the alloy atoms have high slip vectors, and plasticity becomes
more homogeneous due to a better flow ability of atoms.

Conclusion:

The alloys with higher Zr content have larger mechanical strengths. The alloys with
higher Cu content have more stable structures.

Published: November 2018

Background:

The chronic phase of Spinal Cord (SC) injury is characterized by the presence
of a hostile microenvironment that causes low activity and a progressive decline in neurological function;
this phase is non-compatible with regeneration. Several treatment strategies have been investigated
in chronic SC injury with no satisfactory results. OBJECTIVE- In this proof-of-concept study,
we designed a combination therapy (Comb Tx) consisting of surgical glial scar removal plus scar inhibition,
accompanied with implantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), and immunization with
neural-derived peptides (INDP).

Methods:

This study was divided into three subsets, all in which Sprague Dawley rats were subjected
to a complete SC transection. Sixty days after injury, animals were randomly allocated into two groups
for therapeutic intervention: control group and animals receiving the Comb-Tx. Sixty-three days after
treatment we carried out experiments analyzing motor recovery, presence of somatosensory evoked
potentials, neural regeneration-related genes, and histological evaluation of serotoninergic fibers.

Results:

Comb-Tx induced a significant locomotor and electrophysiological recovery. An increase in the
expression of regeneration-associated genes and the percentage of 5-HT+ fibers was noted at the caudal
stump of the SC of animals receiving the Comb-Tx. There was a significant correlation of locomotor recovery
with positive electrophysiological activity, expression of GAP43, and percentage of 5-HT+ fibers.

Conclusion:

Comb-Tx promotes motor and electrophysiological recovery in the chronic phase of SC
injury subsequent to a complete transection. Likewise, it is capable of inducing the permissive microenvironment
to promote axonal regeneration.
CMOS Active Inductor/Resonator Based Voltage Controlled Oscillator
Authors: Patel Dhara P. , Oza-Rahurkar Shruti
Published: November 2018

Background:

A tunable CMOS active inductor/resonator based Voltage Controlled
Oscillator (VCO) has been presented. In the design of LC-VCO, LC resonator (tank) circuit has been
substituted with gyrator based CMOS active inductor/resonator. The purity of VCO output signal is
defined by the phase noise parameter.

Methods:

For good spectral purity of VCO output signal, the phase noise should be minimum.
Moreover, the quality factor of LC resonator is inversely proportional to the phase noise of VCO
output signal. In the presented work, a high-quality active inductor/resonator circuit has been used to
design VCO which minimizes the phase noise and chip area as well. Further, other VCO
characterization factors are measured.

Results:

The designed circuit has been implemented in 0.18µm CMOS technology.

Conclusion:

The design of the proposed AI based voltage controlled oscillator shows better phase
noise, less chip area and high output power. The high output power is achieved at the cost of limited
tuning range of 1.14 GHz ~ 2.1 GHz. The presented active inductor based voltage controlled oscillator
can be used for RF applications from 1.14GHz ~ 2.1GHz.

Published: November 2018

The current study investigated the perceptions of Saudi female teachers and their preparatory year students on the Writing Task (WT) used in the English Language Institute (ELI) at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) in Jeddah, KSA. To obtain a deeper insight, mixed methods were used through quantitative questionnaires and qualitative semi-structured interviews. While quantitative data were analysed using a descriptive SPSS analysis, qualitative data were analysed using a thematic analysis by NVivo. The sample consisted of 50 students (mean age: 19) and 6 teachers with different qualifications and years of experience. First, a questionnaire was distributed to elicit student’s perceptions on the WT then the 6 teachers were interviewed. The results indicated that the students had negative perceptions towards the effectiveness of the WT and that it was not beneficial in developing their writing skills, unlike some of the teachers who expressed positive views towards the WT. The findings offer future instructional implications that will help in enhancing the WT of the ELI. Some of these implications indicate that extensive writing classes must be given to students to improve their writing skills and that the writing topics must be contextualised and taken from the students’ daily life to keep them interested.

Authors: Belostotsky Alexander M. , Akimov Pavel A. , Dmitriev Dmitry D.
Published: November 2018

As is known, underground facilities are an integral part of the infrastructure of modern society. These objects have some specific characteristics such as complex construction, high cost, long life cycle, etc. Once it is destroyed, the direct and indirect losses are more seriousness than the general structure in the ground. Under-ground facilities built in areas subject to earthquake activity must withstand both seismic and static loading. Therefore, it is very important to carry on the seismic design of the underground structure in a safe and economi-cal way. The distinctive paper presents a summary of the current state of seismic analysis for underground struc-tures. Classification and brief overview of methods of seismic analysis of underground structures (force-based methods, displacement-based methods, numerical methods of seismic analysis of coupled system “soil – under-ground structure”) are presented, problems of soil-structure interaction are under consideration as well. So-called static finite element method with substructure technique for seismic analysis of underground structures is de-scribed.

Published: November 2018

The purpose of research is development of methods for reliability analysis of structural reinforced concrete elements (on example of reinforced concrete beam) according to criterion of the normal cracks length in tensile zone of concrete. Cracks in tensile zone of concrete in beams leads to displacement of the beam's neutralaxis towards the compressed part of the concrete, thereby increasing the compressionstress in the concrete, to the increasing of the stress in the reinforcement bars on the crack width, to the growth of corrosion processes, etc. This leads to the decreasing of beams mechanical safety and reliability (as a quantitative measure of mechanical safety). The main parameters, which reduce the strength and stiffness of the beam, of the cracksis the length and width of the crack. The article describesthe influence of the cracks length on the reliability of reinforced concrete elements. The article differs from existing approaches in that isitbuilt on a limited statistical dataofcontrolled parameters in mathematical models of limit state. The article alsoconsidersthe influence of cracks in the structuralelement. The methods of reliability analysis allow to assess the mechanical safety of reinforced concrete elements and to make appropriate decisions about the safety, strengthening or replacement of thereinforced concreteelement.

Authors: Żakowska-Biemans Sylwia , Gutkowska Krystyna
Published: November 2018

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących atrybutów zaufania dotyczących jakości jako czynników wpływających na wybory konsumentów żywności, zrealizowanych wśród 1203 respondentów metodą CAWI. Uzyskane dane wykorzystano w celu identyfikacji segmentów konsumentów o zróżnicowanych determinantach wyboru żywności oraz zainteresowaniu żywnością, której znakowanie wpisuje się w koncepcję atrybutów zaufania dotyczących jakości. Wyniki badań wskazują, że respondenci odnoszą się bardzo pozytywnie do żywności pochodzącej z określonego regionu lub też lokalnej produkcji. W mniejszym stopniu wybory konsumentów są warunkowane atrybutami związanymi z troską o środowisko naturalne i dobrostan zwierząt. Młodzi konsumenci są mniej zainteresowani żywnością regionalną, ale bardziej zwracają uwagę na kwestie dobrostanu zwierząt. Najwyższy poziom znajomości wszystkich spośród badanych znaków jakości odnotowano wśród respondentów przypisanych do segmentu 3, którzy częściej deklarowali regularne zakupy żywności ekologicznej, posiadali wyższy poziom wykształcenia oraz byli skłonni do podejmowania zachowań na rzecz ochrony środowiska i dobrostanu zwierząt, jak również przejawiali zainteresowanie relacją między żywnością i zdrowiem.

Published: November 2018

Diode-pumped alkali lasers (DPALs) have drawn much attention since they were proposed in 2001. Until now, most theoretical studies have related to the DPALs pumped by a continuous wave or a square-wave light source, but the theoretical reports for a DPAL pumped by a pulsed source still keep rare. In this study, the authors set up a kinetic model for a pulsed DPAL with the high energy transition and ionization processes taken into account. The spontaneous emission that coupled with the lasing mode is theoretically analyzed in the simulation. Additionally, the authors improve the algorithm to simulate the averaged laser intensity in time domain. Our theoretical results and experimental data in two published literatures coincide with each other and the correctness of our kinetic model can be demonstrated. The study should be useful for the design of an efficient pulse-pumped DPAL.

RésuméNouvelles données sur la flore endémique du sous-secteur de l’Atlas tellien Oranais «O3» (Algérie occidentale). Cette étude est une première synthèse régionale visant à proposer une nouvelle liste de la flore endémique du sous- secteur de l›Atlas tellien oranais (O3) en analysant les principaux changements taxonomiques et chorologique. Les données de littérature disponibles ont été exploitées notamment (Quezel & Santa, 1962-63; Vela & Benhouhou, 2007) et analysés en utilisant l’index de la base de données de l’Afrique du Nord (Dobignard & Chatelain, 2010-13). Cela a conduits à la suppression de 22 taxons de la liste de base comportant 94 taxons. Nous avons ensuite rajouté 15 nouveaux taxons signalés récemment dans la bibliographie au niveau de cette région ainsi que 3 taxons oubliés dans la première liste. La nouvelle liste de la flore endémique du O3 contenant 89 taxons a subi des changements considérables au niveau de sa composition floristique. Cette liste n’étant pas exhaustive devrait être enrichie par des nouveaux résultats au niveau des zones pas encore bien explorées sur le plan floristique notamment Mascara, Saida et Sidi Belabess. Mots clés: Algérie, chorologie, endémique,liste, taxonomie. AbstractNew data on endemic flora of the sub-sector of Oran Tell Atlas “O3” (Western Algeria). This study is a first regional synthesis aiming at proposing a new list of the endemic flora of the sub-sector of Oran Tell Atlas (O3), by analyzing the main taxonomic and chorological changes. The literature data available have been exploited in particular (Quézel & Santa, 1962-63, VÉla & Benhouhou, 2007) and analyzed using the index of the database of North Africa (Dobignard & Chatelain, 2010-13). This led to the deletion of 22 taxa from the basic list of 94 taxa. We then added 15 new taxa reported recently in the bibliography at this region as well as 3 taxa forgotten in the first list. The new list of endemic flora of O3 containing 89 taxa has undergone considerable changes in its floristic composition. This list which is not exhaustive should be enriched by new results at the level of areas not yet well explored on the floristic plan including Mascara, Saida and Sidi Belabess. Key words: Algeria, chorology, endemic, list, taxonomy.

Published: November 2018

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of silver-coated versus standard silicone urinary catheters on the incidence of catheter-associated bacteriuria (CAB) and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in dogs.

DESIGN Randomized controlled clinical trial.

ANIMALS 36 dogs requiring urinary bladder catheterization for ≥ 24 hours.

PROCEDURES Dogs were randomly assigned to receive a silver-coated or non–silver-coated (control) silicone Foley catheter. Urine samples for cytologic examination and bacterial culture were collected at the time of catheter insertion and daily until catheters were removed (≥ 24 hours to 7 days later). Results were compared between groups.

RESULTS No significant differences were identified between catheter groups in the incidence of CAB or CAUTI. Although the median time to development of cytologically detected bacteriuria, culture-detected bacteriuria, and CAUTI did not differ significantly between groups, median time to CAB development (either method) was significantly longer for dogs that received a control catheter rather than a silver-coated catheter. For both types of catheters combined, older age was a significant predictor of culture-detected bacteriuria, and longer duration of catheterization was a significant predictor of culture-detected bacteriuria and overall CAB.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Silver-coated urinary catheters provided no clinical benefit over standard urinary catheters for the dogs of this study and were associated with earlier development of CAB but not CAUTI. A larger prospective study is required to definitively determine whether the use of silver-coated urinary catheters should or should not be considered to reduce the risk of CAB or CAUTI in dogs.

Published: November 2018

OBJECTIVE To identify geographic areas in the United States where food animal veterinary services may be insufficient to meet increased needs associated with the US FDA's Veterinary Feed Directive.

DESIGN Cross-sectional study.

SAMPLE Data collected between 2010 and 2016 from the US Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program, the National Animal Health Monitoring System Small-Scale US Livestock Operations Study, and the USDA's National Veterinary Accreditation Program.

PROCEDURES Each dataset was analyzed separately to identify geographic areas with greatest potential for veterinary shortages. Geographic information systems methods were used to identify co-occurrence among the datasets of counties with veterinary shortages.

RESULTS Analysis of the loan repayment program, Small-Scale Livestock Operations Study, and veterinary accreditation datasets revealed veterinary shortages in 314, 346, and 117 counties, respectively. Of the 3,140 counties in the United States during the study period, 728 (23.2%) counties were identified as veterinary shortage areas in at least 1 dataset. Specifically, 680 counties were identified as shortage areas in 1 dataset, 47 as shortage areas in 2 datasets, and 1 Arizona county as a shortage area in all 3 datasets.

Published: November 2018

The smartphone development today makes the gadget not only used as a communication tool but also as an entertainment tool such as to play games and play music. The development of the smartphone also supports many technologies that can be run on the smartphone itself, such as Augmented Reality (AR), for example. There are some studies evaluated the AR application combined with Leap Motion, but those studies were using the SDK alpha of the Leap Motion Corp. that is now no longer accessible for the developers to use. This research is meant to overcome such a problem. The method proposed in this study is a technique to connect the Leap Motion with Android for Augmented Reality application. This paper also evaluates the technique used to connect the AR technology to Leap Motion so it can be a visual instrument simulation, which applied to the Gamelan traditional music instrument. The experiments resulted in the accuracy rate of the application of 96.43% for right-hand movement and 97.86% for the left-hand motion. The high accuracy result obtained in the research can be a promising result for the future research.

Production planning is a plan aimed at controlling the quantity of products produced. Production planning is very important to be carried out by the company so that the production will always be controlled. It is very difficult to plan production with a variety of product variations because each product certainly has a different demand value from its customers. This has become a complex problem so an algorithm is needed to overcome these problems. Simulated Annealing can produce optimal solutions more effectively and efficiently. Production costs generated by applying Simulated Annealing are Rp. 6,902,406,000, - for all types of products, which is better than existing condition.

Urgency of the research. In the light of changes in the global security system, the problem of an adequate assessment of economic security in a regional context is acute. Existing methods provide for the calculation of a complex indicator or system of indicators for assessing economic security. Instead, the realities of today require a revision of the conceptual approach to the definition of "economic security", which will take into account the impact of the processes of interpenetration and the integration of economic systems of individual regions.
Target setting. The problem of finding and testing new methods to assess the economic security of regions arises.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. A considerable amount of research is devoted to the quantitative and qualitative assessment of the country's economic security. The classic approach to assessing economic security involves calculating the integral index and does not take into account the integration of individual regions and the country as a whole into world markets.
Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The need to change the angle of view on the monitoring of regional economic security arose in connection with: an increase in the scale and acceleration of the processes of globalization; difficult geopolitical situation in the country.
The research objective. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of combining theoretical approach and indicative of the theory of open systems to assess the level of economic security of the region.
The statement of basic materials. In this work an algorithm for using the apparatus of the theory of neural networks for the estimation of the economic system of the regions is developed. The obtained economic-mathematical model allows to perform clusterization of territorial units according to selected indicators of economic security. Testing of the developed algorithm is conducted on the basis of data on the state of economic development of the regions of Ukraine.
Conclusions. The result of the simulation is a cluster structure that divided the totality of regions of Ukraine into four clusters according to selected classification characteristics. The results obtained have a clear economic interpretation.
