Palaeovalleys at the basal unconformity of the Palaeoproterozoic Karrat Group, West Greenland
Authors: Guarnieri Pierpaolo , Partin Camille A. , Rosa Diogo
Published: April 2020

In the Rinkian belt of West Greenland, reworked Archaean gneisses are overlain by supracrustal successions of the Palaeoproterozoic Karrat Group, defined by Henderson & Pulvertaft (1967) as comprising two formations: the Qeqertarssuaq Formation and the Nûkavsak Formation. The group was later extended to include the Mârmorilik Formation (Henderson & Pulvertaft 1987) originally considered to be of Archaean age (Henderson & Pulvertaft 1967) but later shown to be Palaeoproterozoic, resting with a depositional unconformity on Archaean gneiss (Garde 1978). Henderson & Pulvertaft (1987) suggested that the carbonatedominated Mârmorilik Formation in the south was laterally equivalent to the siliciclastic-dominated Qeqertarssuaq Formation in the north, the two subbasins being separated by a basement topographic high.

A cost-effective preventative approach to potentially save lives in the coronavirus pandemic, jointly using Vitamin D, Curcumin, and Vitamin C, (with updated dosage parameters). Bakare, T A., a and Soar, J. S. b
Authors: Soar Jagjit S
Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT:The current COVID-19 pandemic now believed to be based on the mutation of the SARS-CoV virus (first reported in 2002) to SARS-CoV-2 emerging in 2019 (with possibly further mutations), is naturally causing extreme worry and concern around the world with sometimes mixed and incoherent messages on how to deal with it. There is a plethora of information from previous epidemics caused by other coronaviruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS (2002) and Middle East respiratory syndrome MERS (2012) from which we can extrapolate guidance on how to deal with the current pandemic. In the current absence of specific pharmaceutical agents, we propose assessing the extended tools that we already possess in our biological armoury to combat, prevent and control the spread of this virus. Using a set of precise criteria to locate such possible contenders, we conducted literature searches to find compounds that met these criteria. We have now reduced this to a shortlist of three agents that may be the best candidates. We propose vitamin C, vitamin D and Curcumin fit our criteria well as the biological properties summarised, further support their use. These compounds are widely available to the general public. They are available online and over-the-counter as supplements. Otherwise healthy individuals are, after taking some appropriate professional advice, safely able to self-administer these agents as a prophylactic to protect themselves and to enhance their immune response. This would be especially desirable for the elderly and at-risk groups. These agents can also be used as adjunct therapy, particularly for those who may have early symptoms. This preventative therapy could be implemented whilst awaiting specific pharmaceutical drugs to emerge as a treatment for COVID-19. Our suggested compounds are a highly cost-effective way to potentially reduce the mortality that is regretfully mounting as a result of COVID-19 infection.

Principles and practices of Outcome Based Education, a recent paradigm for problem-based subjects such as Computer Science and Engineering, emphasizes on achieving student learning outcomes. This will ascertain attainment of competencies for what a student would do an engineering task, rather than merely understanding the concepts, at the end of a learning event. Thus learning outcomes are, in fact, combination of technical understanding along with enabling appropriate skills that imbibe inter and intra personal behavior of the learners. To accomplish this, the instructional contents cannot be mere topics, as practiced in traditional-linear-syllabus oriented educational systems. Rather the contents need to be anatomized into fundamental engineering core and contemporary cores that are temporal in nature due to changing scenario of industries. Literature on treating such differentiated cores in Computer Science & Engineering is rare. This paper therefore attempts to determine the need for differentiating the domain cores in every concept. Experiments with selective contemporary core in Computer software product have been administered and validated through social surveys based on holistic rubrics. The samples are however limited to the State of Kerala in India. Conclusions drawn out of the experiments will be of immense use to curriculum designers and also to researchers of Computer Science and Engineering education. The study also includes comparison between teachers and students of Computer Science & Engineering on lifelong learning of contemporary industry related cores. The results presented in the paper form a part of a whole research work on Outcome Based Education in Computer Science and Education.

In this work the simulation results of a 2 degree of freedom plant driven by model are shown. Here Model following control (MFC) system is applied to operate the plant in a better way. Initially a model is constructed, whose states are ideal with respect to the control parameters. The plant and the model essentially have same physical parameters. An input is given to the model and the plant is run by the errors, computed by comparing the states of the plant and model. In this way the plant is forced to follow the ideal states of the model. The results show that the plant is able to follow the model very accurately. The robust control observed in the scheme can be easily implemented for better performance of industrial robots.

Objectives: To compare ultrasound guidance (USG) and electrical neurostimulation guidance (ENSG) in axillary brachial plexus block in terms of block performing time, sensory and motor block quality, and patient satisfaction.

Methodology: 200 patients undergoing elective carpal tunnel syndrome surgery were randomly assigned to one of two groups; the USG group or the ENSG group. Axillary blocks were performed with a mixture of 15 ml of lidocaine 2% and 15 ml of bupivacaine 0.5% (a total of 30 ml solution). Sensory block was evaluated with a pinprick test and motor block was evaluated via the Bromage scale by a blinded observer.

Results: Block performing time was significantly shorter in the USG group than in the ENSG group (P<0.001). The sensory and motor block onset times were significantly shorter and the additional analgesic requirements were significantly lower in the USG group than in the ENSG group (P<0.001).

Conclusion: USG is better than ENSG in axillary brachial plexus block in terms of block performing time, block quality and patient satisfaction.

The optimisation of DO2, within the Goal-Direct Therapy Protocol (GDTP) in high-risk surgical patients, improves their outcome. Haemodynamic and haemoglobin monitoring become crucial to achieve optimal DO2. Our study compared Hb as measured by three methods: Coulter Counter (standard laboratory method) and CO-Oximetry (Masimo rainbow SET Radical 7 Pulse CO-Oximetry (SpHb) and Blood Gas Analysis) to establish the utility of the Hb continuous intraoperative monitoring, within the GDTP, in high-risk bleeding surgery. We studied 72 patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. We compared the accuracy and the trending ability in measuring the haemoglobin concentration between the three methods (Coulter Counter, BGA and Masimo). We collected three simultaneous haemoglobin measurements: after induction of anaesthesia, pre- and post-aortic cross-clamping and at the end of the surgery. SpHb showed an excellent r-value for all samples (0.952, CI-95% (0.939, 0.961), p-value < 0.0001) compared to laboratory measurements. The results of the linear regression between SpHb and laboratory, for each time considered, demonstrated that SpHb showed excellent r and R2 value. All data were statistically significant, with a p-value <0.0001. A Bland-Altmann analysis for SpHb vs. laboratory showed a bias of −1.45 g/dL (CI-95% −1.51 and −1.39 g/dL, LOA from −2.42 to −0.48 g/dL) with a precision of 0.49 g/dL. Four-quadrant plot trend analyses showed a high concordance rate ≥90%. During elective high-risk surgery, Masimo Pulse CO-Oximetry is not enough sufficiently accurate to assess the current value of haemoglobin but may be useful for the trend value ensuring DO2 within intraoperative GDTP.
Emergence of Water Sensitive Design:

Published: April 2020

Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, once had lowlands on both west and east periphery. The west periphery has already taken up by urbanization after constructing the flood embankment and in the eastern periphery it is on process of disappearing very fast. City is now expanding to this area which requires mandatory to keep open and low to take water from city for flooding alleviation. Lack of physical planning is very evident here which causes great degradation of the flooding and water logging situation of the city. At present master planning of the city following subdivision of land and provide little attention about water problem when zoning. Dhaka city was once gifted with rich system of water bodies and lowlands. Vast lowlands in both sides helped rivers to spread over wider area so the depth of flooding could remain low and contribute to balance water level by storing water before discharge into rivers. But, city is expanding drastically by grabbing all the least open areas in and around, and worsening the flooding scenario unbearable. Keeping these issues in mind this paper tried to understand the water system for the city, reasons for water (flooding, water logging) problems, role of eastern lowlands to control city's flooding situation. Finally, some innovative design strategies have been suggested for upcoming unavoidable development by understanding the water system and checking flood problem eventually ensuring environmental quality.

Periodization of the evolution of epidemic process of hepatitis C is given based on the results of phylodynamic, phylogeographic, historic and demographic studies: invasion of the virus into European and North American population in 1700 - 1850; primary activation of the epidemic process in the years of the World War 1; expansive growth of prevalence in 40 - 60s of the 20th century due to mass parenteral interventions; new rise due to heroine drug abuse in 60 - 80s of the 20th century; manifold reduction of incidence of acute hepatitis C in industrial countries for the last 10 - 15 years as a result of general medical measures of prevention of hemocontact infections. A problem of possibility of hepatitis C management and necessity of evaluation of effectiveness of existing prophylaxis measures involving quantitative analytical methods of epidemiology is discussed. Data from phylogenetic studies on stages of hepatitis C virus evolution (HCV) are provided: division of its root genetic lineage with homologous hepaciviruses of animals 985 - 2013 years ago; division ofHCV into genotypes 500 - 2000 years ago; division ofgenotypes into subtypes 70 - 300 years ago. Contribution of mutations and genetic recombinations into HCV evolution is discussed. Genotyping is stated as an inefficient approach for determination of pathogenicity determinants, immune evasion, non-responsiveness to therapy, as well as search for predictors of infection outcome. A necessity of genomic approach for these aims is justified, as well as for risk monitoring, ensuing from continuing evolution and biodiversity of HCV and other hepaciviruses.

Aim. Comparative typing of Leptospira spp. strain collection based on analysis of 16S RNA fragment. Materials and methods. 2 pairs of primers were used for PCR, that jointly flank 1423 b.p. sized fragment. Sequences of Leptospira spp. strain 16S rRNA, presented in the international database, were used for phylogenetic analysis. Results. A high similarity, including interspecies, of the 16S fragment in Leptospira spp. strains was shown independently of the source, serovar and serogroup. Heterogeneity ofthe primary matrix, spontaneous mutations of hotspots and erroneous nucleotide couplings, characteristic for 16S sequence of pathogenic Leptospira spp. strains, are discussed. Molecular-genetic characteristic of certain reference Leptospira spp. strains by 16S sequence is obtained. Conclusion. Results of the studies give evidence on expedience of introduction into clinical practice of identification of Leptospira spp. by 16S sequence directly from the clinical material, that would allow to significantly reduce identification time, dismiss complex type-specific sera and other labor-intensive methods.
