The aim was to investigate: changes of inflammatory, stress and cardiac response in patients undergoing open heart surgeries up to five days after the procedure; the association between inflammatory, stress and cardiac response and whether changes in a certain marker can predict short-term patient outcome. Ninety patients were divided into three groups, 30 participants each (on-pump, off-pump revascularization and valve replacement group). The following markers were measured: complete blood count, CRP, IL-6, IL-10, leptin, resistin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), cortisol, CK and hsTnT in 5 points. Resistin increased in all three groups. Lower IL-10 levels were found after the surgery and higher levels of leptin and MCP-1 in the off-pump than in the on-pump group. Off-pump group had higher values of IL-6, IL-10, leptin, resistin and MCP-1 and lower levels of CK and hsTnT 24 after surgery than the on-pump group. We found significant correlation between MCP-1 and resistin. The difference between resistin at time points 2 and 3 significantly predicted transfusion needs; while the difference between CRP and resistin before and at the end of the surgery together with the difference between leukocytes at the end and 24 hours after the surgery predicted the use of inotropic agents/vasopressors. Cardiac surgeries cause an increase of inflammatory, stress and cardiac markers. Only resistin correlated with MCP-1 which confirms the link between resistin secreted form infiltrated macrophages and enhanced release of MCP-1.

PENILAIAN KELAYAKAN EKONOMI INVESTASI PERALATAN TAMBANG MENGGUNAKAN METODE INCREMENTAL COST (STUDI KASUS: EXCAVATOR DOOSAN DX 340 LC-5)
Authors: Sidiq Hidayatullah , Mukarrom Faisol
Published: May 2020

Penambangan merupakan kegiatan padat modal, salah satunya pertimbangan investasi dalam kepemilikan peralatan penambangan. Dalam menentukan kapan harus melakukan investasi peralatan juga harus dipertimbangkan. Alternatif pertimbangan penilaian kelayakan ekonomi dalam investasi terdapat beberapa metode, diantaranya adalah metode average cost dan incremental cost. Analisa kelayakan dimulai dengan membuat model life cycle cost excavator Doosan DX 340 LC-5 untuk mengetahui performa biaya yang ditimbulkan akibat penggunaan alat tersebut. Model life cycle cost dimulai dari data tahun 2012 sampai dengan tahun 2018. Biaya dan harga menggunakan dolar ($), dengan konversi dari rupiah ke dolar adalah Rp. 14.000,-. Harga rental alat excavator Doosan DX 340 LC-5 saat pengambilan data ini adalah $ 25,36/ jam. Harga solar industry yang digunakan adalah $ 0,75/Lt, dan gaji operator sebesar $ 1,75/jam. Dari hasil Analisa penggunaan excavator Doosan 340 DX LC5 saat ini tidak layak jika diteruskan hingga tahun proyek selesai. Untuk melanjutkan sisa proyek tersebut akan lebih baik jika mendatangkan excavator Doosan 340 unit baru dengan metode sewa walaupun harga sewa lebih mahal dari saat ini, tetapi dengan PA unit yang baik maka average unit cost akan lebih menguntungkan dibandingkan tetap menggunakan alat yang lama. Alternatif mendatangkan unit dengan cara membeli alat tidak direkomendasikan karena dilihat dari analisis incremental cost pada cash flow terlihat NPV dan ROR yang lebih kecil sehingga tidak layak secara ekonomi.

Authors: Mukhlisin Muhammad
Published: May 2020

Pondasi pad konstruksi jembatan pada umumnya menggunakan pondasi dalam berupa tiang. Daya Dukung pondasi tiang dipengaruhi oleh parameter tanah yaitu sudut geser dalam (j) dan kohesi (c). Kedua parameter tanah ini dipengaruhi oleh kadar air yang disebabkan oleh perubahan iklim. Pada jenis tanah lempung kondisi tersebut akan mengakibatkan tanah mengalami pengembangan dan penyusutan. Kondisi ini diduga sebagai faktor utama yang mempengaruhi kegagalan struktur pondasi. Penelitian ini menjelaskan pola perilaku perubahan daya dukung friksi pondasi tiang grup akibat perubahan kadar air terhadap waktu melalui pembebanan skala laboratorium. Percobaan dilakukan menggunakan tanah lempung di kampus Politeknik Negeri Semarang, Tembalang, Semarang, Jawa Tengah. Model menggunakan tanah remolded dengan 4 buah tiang pancang Ø16 mm, yang direndam dan didiamkan pada suhu ruang dengan durasi waktu 1,3, dan 7 hari. Penelitian ini menggambarkan sebuah fenomena bahwa jenis tanah lempung yang digunakan setelah mengalami penjenuhan dan pengeringan pada suhu ruang, daya dukung friksi tiang tidak kembali seperti kondisi awal walaupun kadar air sudah sama atau lebih rendah dari kondisi awal.

Saluran dibangun sebagai media yang berfungsi untuk mengalirkan air. Di dalam kegiatan perencanaan, desain, dan konstruksi saluran memerlukan banyak waktu, upaya , dan biaya. Desain dan konstruksi saluran  harus sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan karakteristik lokasi yang digunakan. Seringkali terjadi perubahan parameter dalam menentukan desain saluran akibat pertimbangan teknis maupun ekonomis. Hal tersebut menuntut perubahan desain saluran yang sesuai dengan parameter yang baru. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan alat untuk mempermudah perhitungan desain saluran. Parameter yang diperlukan untuk menghitung desain saluran adalah debit (Q), faktor tahanan Chezy (C), Koefisien Darcy-Weisbach (f), atau faktor kekasaran Manning (n), dan parameter gradien alas saluran (i). Penelitian bertujuan untuk menghitung dan memodelkan desain saluran, serta menyediakan alat atau media praktis dan mudah digunakan. Metode yang dilakukan adalah dengan menerapkan formula perhitungan Chezy, Darchy-Weisbach, dan Manning untuk berbagai bentuk saluran menggunakan perangkat lunak Microsoft Excel. Penentuan nilai faktor tahanan Chezy (C), Koefisien Darcy-Weisbach (f), dapat dihubungkan dari faktor kekasaran Manning (n). Koefisien kekasaran Manning (n) dapat diperkirakan dari ukuran partikel material penyusun alas saluran (d) menggunakan formula, maupun mengacu kepada tabel faktor kekasaran Manning. Penelitian ini menghasilkan alat untuk menghitung dan memodelkan desain saluran terbuka “Kalkulator Desain Saluran – FAR”. Penulis mengusulkan formula baru untuk memperkirakan nilai faktor kekasaran Manning (n) dari ukuran partikel material penyusun alas saluran (d). Selain itu, penulis mengusulkan formula untuk menghitung langsung tinggi air dalam penampang geometri saluran (y).  Formula tersebut diperoleh dengan memasukkan koefisien α yang berdasar dari hubungan antar parameter geometri saluran kedalam formula Chezy, Darchy-Weisbach, dan Manning.

Kompleksitas permasalahan yang ditimbulkan Merkuri terhadap lingkungan hidup dan manusia. Merkuri memiliki sifat dan karakteristik yang dapat dimanfaatkan mengekstraksi Emas dari bijih Emas dengan menggunakan metode amalgamasi. Metode amalgamasi adalah cara yang paling mudah untuk mengekstraksi Emas dari bijih Emas.Metode amalgamasi menggunakan gelundung/tromol yang berisi bola-bola/batang-batang baja untuk melakukan crushing dan grinding bijih Emas (proses liberasi/pembebasan mineral-mineral Emas dari induknya) dalam media air. Merkuri ditambahkan ke dalam gelundung-gelundung tersebut untuk mengikat butiran-butiran Emas yang sudah terlepas dari induknya dalam bentuk amalgam. Merkuri sangat mudah mengikat butiran-butiran Emas, karena secara alami Merkuri memiliki afinitas yang tinggi terhadap Emas. Penggunaan Merkuri untuk mengekstrak Emas memang sangat mudah dilakukan. Tetapi, di sisi lain,  Merkuri  dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif  terhadap lingkungan dan manusia yang menjadi permasalahan global dan internasional. Permasalahan Merkuri terhadap lingkungan dan manusia tidak dapat hanya ditangani oleh suatu negara,tetapi membutuhkan solusi permasalahan melalui kerjasama global dan internasional (antar negara-negara di dunia).

Authoritarianism in the time of COVID.
Authors: Hesham Angie
Published: May 2020

COVID19 leaves the world in shock and the struggle with the invisible enemy continues around the world. The crisis is seen as an opportunity to prove the resilience of authoritarianism and failure of democratic leadership that could take authoritarian soft power diplomacy to new heights. Competitors to the liberal order are treating the coronavirus crisis as an opportunity to exploit for their advantage. It proved the falsity of European "fairy tale" to stand united and extend aid to other countries in dire need of assistance. The COVID-19 pandemic is erupting at a period when totalitarian governments were still threatening liberalism. Now, liberal-order competitors are using the coronavirus crisis as an opportunity to leverage it for their benefit. Yet analysts raise caution that, by hardening authoritarian regimes and eroding stability in certain regions, it may also reshape governance, particularly in vulnerable nations where would-be tyrants have sought to consolidate their power.

Published: May 2020

The issue of the safety of pedestrians, in particular school-age children during their movement at nighttime is considered with the coverage of such aspects of road safety as road infrastructure, vehicle design, behavior of drivers and pedestrians, especially children directly as the most vulnerable road users, and educational activities. Particular attention is paid to the fact that road traffic is the most complex and difficult aspect of the environment that a child can experience, especially during in poor daylight and in darkness (because in the autumn and winter it gets dark very early and time when children should go to school or from school falls at this period of the day).
In the paper is shown how the visibility zones for drivers of motor vehicles in the darkness and in bad weather conditions are changing. Also, in the paper is provided information about the visibility of pedestrians who use or do not use on the clothes the retro-reflective elements, at the use of dipped and distant headlights of the car.
The legislation of Ukraine and European countries in this area, which in particular regulates the requirements for the use of retro-reflective elements, as well as the practice and recommendations regarding their use, are analyzed.
At the same time, the paper conducted a review of existing decisions that ensure pedestrian safety and allow them to be more visible to drivers of motor vehicles, especially with the onset of dusk and at nighttime. The analysis of the recommendations contained in the Consolidated Resolution on Road Traffic (R.E.1) concerning the increase of road safety in the dark time of day is carried out. Recommendations on possible actions to enhance the safety of pedestrians at the national level, including school-age children during their movement at nighttime are given.
Keywords: road safety, road traffic accident, vulnerable road user, pedestrian, vehicle, retro-reflective element.

Authors: Bukoiemskyi Serghii
Published: May 2020

It is held the analysis of the state of functioning of the system of technical support of automobiles and armored vehicles factory parks. The basis of this system is the technical support units. These units provide quality and timely implementation of technical influences on machinery. So, the main task of information support of technical support is to determine the needs of vehicles parks in such influences and an assessment of the capabilities of the relevant technical support units. Thus, there is an urgent need to model the functioning of these units. These units can be internal or external, with which the Internal Subdivision is subordinate to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine and the external unit is subordinate to another organization. All these types of units need to be analyzed. The end result of the functioning of this system is the implementation of such a managerial influence on its structure, which will provide maximum effect of the adaptation of the combined system of technical support of automobile and armored vehicles fleets of the units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. Thus, successful resolution of the tasks of information support of technical support of automobile and armored vehicles fleets of the units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine requires formalization of the functioning of certain technical support units. The study simulates this process. The technical support unit is presented as a mass service system with an extraordinary inbound request flow and a limited service queue. As a result, a number of dependencies were obtained that allow forecasting of the possibilities of separate technical support departments of technical parks and use of the obtained values in the process of implementation of the information support of technical support of such parks.

OPERATIONAL STATE OF BRIDGES OF UKRAINE
Authors: Bodnar Larysa , Koval Petro , Stepanov Sergii , Panibratets Liudmyla
Published: May 2020

A significant part of Ukrainian bridges on public roads is operated for more than 30 years (94 %). At the same time, the traffic volume and the weight of vehicles has increased significantly. Insufficient level of bridges maintenance funding leads to the deterioration of their technical state. The ways to ensure reliable and safe operation of bridges are considered.
The procedure for determining the predicted operational status of the elements and the bridge in general, which has a scientific novelty, is proposed. In the software complex, Analytical Expert Bridges Management System (AESUM), is a function that allows tracking the changes in the operational status of bridges both in Ukraine and in each region separately. The given algorithm of the procedure for determining the predicted state of the bridge using a degradation model is described using the Nassie-Schneidermann diagram.
The model of the degradation of the bridge performance which is adopted in Ukraine as a normative one, and the algorithm for its adaptation to the AESUM program complex with the function to ensure the probabilistic predicted operating condition of the bridges in the automatic mode is presented. This makes it possible, even in case of unsatisfactory performance of surveys, to have the predicted lifetime of bridges at the required time. For each bridge element it is possible to determine the residual time of operation that will allow predict the state of the elements of the structure for a certain period of time in the future.
Significant interest for specialists calls for the approaches to the development of orientated perspective plans for bridge inspection and monitoring of changes in the operational status of bridges for 2009-2018 in Ukraine. For the analysis of the state of the bridge economy, the information is available on the distribution of bridges by operating state related to the administrative significance of roads, by road categories and by materials of the structures.
Determining the operating state of the bridge is an important condition for making the qualified decisions as regards its maintenance. The Analytical Expert Bridges Management System (AESUM) which is implemented in Ukraine, stores the data on the monitoring the status of bridges and performs the necessary procedures to maintain them in a reliable and safe operating condition.
An important result of the work is the ability to determine the distribution of bridges on the public roads of Ukraine, according to operating conditions established in the program complex of AESUM, which is presented in accordance with the data of the current year. In conditions of limited funding and in case of unsatisfactory performance of surveys, it is possible to make the reasonable management decisions regarding the repair and the reconstruction of bridges.
Keywords: bridge management system, operating condition, predicted operating condition, model of degradation, bridge survey plan, highway bridge.

Background

The nature and timing of the host immune response during infections remain uncertain and most knowledge is derived from critically ill sepsis patients. We aimed to test the hypothesis that community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with concurrent immune suppression and systemic inflammation.

Methods

Blood was collected from 79 CAP patients within 24 h after hospitalization and 1 month after discharge; 42 age- and sex-matched subjects without acute infection served as controls. Blood leukocytes were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or Klebsiella pneumoniae, and cytokines were measured in supernatants. Fifteen plasma biomarkers reflective of key host response pathways were compared between CAP patients with the strongest immune suppression (lowest 25% blood leukocyte tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production in response to LPS) and those with the least immune suppression (highest 25% of LPS-induced TNF-α production).

Results

Blood leukocytes of CAP patients (relative to control subjects) showed a reduced capacity to release TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 upon stimulation with LPS or K. pneumoniae, with a concurrently enhanced ability to release the anti-inflammatory mediator IL-1 receptor antagonist, irrespective of the presence of sepsis (18.9% of cases). Low (relative to high) TNF-α producers displayed higher plasma levels of biomarkers reflecting systemic inflammation, neutrophil degranulation, endothelial cell activation, a disturbed vascular barrier function and coagulation activation.

Conclusion

CAP replicates a common feature of immune suppression in sepsis. The coexistence of immune suppression and hyperinflammation in CAP argues against the theory of two distinct phases during the host response to sepsis.
Literatura em tempo de barbárie: um estudo sobre romances brasileiros contemporâneos
Authors: Frighetto Gisele Novaes
Published: May 2020

Este artigo propõe uma discussão a respeito dos modos de representação literária da barbárie nos romances brasileiros Simpatia pelo demônio (2016), de Bernardo Carvalho; Noite dentro da noite (2017), de Joca Reiners Terron; e Enterre seus mortos (2018), de Ana Paula Maia. A barbárie contemporânea se configuraria nesses romances como tema e forma, associada ao conceito de mediação, de Raymond Williams, que nomeia a representação de experiências sociais no interior dos objetos artísticos. Outro aspecto relevante seriam as estruturas de sentimento ligadas à experiência de um “mundo hostil”, que, segundo Tânia Pellegrini, ocasionam a permanência do realismo como refração. Com base nesses pressupostos, propõe-se uma abordagem ancorada na necessária relação entre literatura e sociedade, que permita compreender uma estética da barbárie como forma de resistência simbólica ao poder da dominação.

Palaeogene diatomite deposits in Denmark: geological investigations and applied aspects
Authors: Pedersen Stig A. Schack
Published: May 2020

The Danish term ‘moler’ is the name for a special and unique marine deposit of Lower Eocene age found in the northern part of Denmark and the Danish North Sea. In the literature it is often referred to as mo-clay, the English translation of ‘moler’ – a whitish, powdery sediment that lithologically is a clayey diatomite. The deposit, which is defined as the Fur Formation, is also well known for its 180 volcanic ash beds, increasing in number towards the top of the formation (Pedersen & Surlyk 1983). Due to Pleistocene glaciotectonic deformations the diatomite deposits crop out at the surface in the Limfjorden area (Gry 1940; Klint & Pedersen 1995; Pedersen 1996, 2000). Prior to the deformations the Fur Formation was situated at about 50–100 m below sea level, but during the deformations the diatomite was displaced upwards into glaciotectonic complexes. The complexes form elongate parallel hills up to 80 m a.s.l. in the western Lim fjord region (Fig. 1). The clayey diatomite attracts attention because it is a valuable raw material for production of insulation bricks and absorbing granulates, which are mainly used as cat litter. In addition, the exposed Fur Formation is a unique reference for investigations of the Palaeogene stratigraphy in the North Sea, where mudstones and shales with ash layers are known as the Sele and Balder Formations (Schiøler et al. 2007). In a tectonic framework the ash layers provide a unique addition to the understanding of the development of the North Atlantic igneous province at the time when Greenland and Norway began to drift away from each other (Larsen et al. 2003). Moreover, the Fur Formation is especially noted for its rich fossil fauna, which comprises remarkably well-preserved specimens of birds, fish and insects. Due to the public interest two museum exhibitions have been established, on Mors and Fur, and the geological features are so evident that numerous geological field trips have benefited from the success of well-displayed geology seen in exposures along the coastal cliffs and in the mo-clay pits. At present a Norwegian drilling company is planning to use the Fur Formation outcrops at Skarrehage for testing before applying their new drilling method offshore. In 2007, GEUS has continued many years of mo-clay investigations, and this paper presents some results from the 2007 activities, in addition to a review on the geology of the mo-clay.
Sedimentary facies and architecture of the Holocene to Recent Rømø barrier island in the Danish Wadden Sea

Published: May 2020

This paper describes an ongoing multidisciplinary study on the development of the barrier islands in the Danish Wadden Sea (Vadehavet), carried out by the Department of Geography and Geology at the University of Copenhagen and the Geolo gical Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). Nine sediment cores each c. 25 m long and a total of c. 45 km ground penetrating radar (GPR) profiles have been acquired on the islands of Rømø and Fanø. Geochemical and palaeontological analyses and dating of 150 core samples using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) are in progress. This multidisciplinary approach has given new insights into the sedimentary architecture and development of the island, and the study is expected to result in a new detailed facies model. Such models are essential for an assessment of the effects of rising sea level associated with global warming. The new facies model can also be used as an analogue for subsurface oil or water reservoirs in similar sedimentary settings. This article presents selected core and GPR data from the Rømø barrier island.
The north-east Baffin Bay region, offshore Greenland – a new frontier petroleum exploration region
Authors: Gregersen Ulrik
Published: May 2020

In recent years the Arctic has come into focus for hydrocarbon exploration, and areas offshore both West and East Greenland have been evaluated as promising frontier hydrocarbon provinces. Seven hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation licenses were awarded in 2007–2008 offshore the Disko–Nuussuaq region (Fig. 1), and two more have been awarded in the open-door region offshore south-western Greenland. In 2007, an extensive amount of new seismic and aeromagnetic data was acquired by the TGS-NOPEC Geophysical Company in the north-eastern Baffin Bay region. Geophysical mapping has been initiated by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) in the Melville Bugt region offshore North-West Greenland (Fig. 1) with the purpose of evaluating the hydrocarbon prospectivity. Initial interpretation of seismic and gravity data suggests the presence of deep sedimentary basins separated by structural highs. Geological information on source rock, reservoir rock and seal intervals from surrounding regions suggest that the Melville Bugt region is likely to have a significant petroleum potential. The study is based on public domain magnetic and gravity data, and all proprietary and public 2-D seismic data (Fig. 1) acquired before 2003. Seismic horizons from the ‘seismic basement’ to ‘base Quaternary’ are being interpreted regionally. Based on the seismic interpretation, a structural element map, depth-structure maps and isopach maps will be produced in order to assess the prospectivity of the Melville Bugt region.
New zircon ages from the Tasiusarsuaq terrane, southern West Greenland
Authors: Næraa Tomas , Scherstén Anders
Published: May 2020

In the last three field seasons the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has undertaken mapping in the south-eastern part of the Nuuk region in southern West Greenland, and here we present new zircon ages that help constrain the northern boundary of the Tasiusarsuaq terrane. The Archaean geology of the Nuuk region is commonly interpreted as a tectonic collage assembled through lateral accretion and collision of oceanic and continental slivers and blocks (e.g. Friend & Nutman 2005). Popular jargon describes these as terranes, bounded by faults or mylonite zones and characterised by rocks of contrasting origin on either side of their tectonic boundaries (Coney et al. 1980). The Isukasia and Færingehavn terranes (Figs 1, 2) are the oldest terranes at ≥3.75 Ga, and extend from the outer part of Godthåbsfjord in the south-west to the margin of the Inland Ice in the north-east, but they might not have a common geological history (Friend & Nutman 2005). The Tre Brødre terrane is mainly represented by the Ikkatoq gneiss and occurs in close spatial relationship with the Færingehavn terrane, and also as a pronounced thrust unit along the Qarliit Nunaat thrust between the Færingehavn and Tasiusarsuaq terranes (Fig. 1; Nutman et al. 1989). The terrane boundaries in the inner fjord region near the Inland Ice margin are less well constrained; the Tre Brødre terrane extends into the region from the south-west, the Kapisilik terrane is defined from the northern and eastern part and borders the Tasiusarsuaq terrane to the south and possibly to the east. The terrane accretion is believed to have taken place in two events. The first terrane accretion is defined from the northern part of the region, and possibly involves the Isukasia, Kapisilik and Akia terranes. The thermal event stitching these terranes is dated to c. 2.99–2.95 Ga (Fig. 2; Hanmer et al. 2002; Friend & Nutman 2005). The second accretion phase of the major continental blocks is believed to have occurred at around 2.725–2.71 Ga. This second event is well described, and includes anatexis and emplacement of continental crust-derived granites, which are associated with contemporaneous metamorphism (Friend et al. 1996). Figure 2 outlines regional plutonic, metamorphic and supracrustal events. Individual terranes were formed during relatively short time periods with active geological processes of creation and recycling of continental crust, and most of the terranes follow a similar pattern of development. The first plutonic events consisted of primitive magmas and produced tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) and dioritic gneisses. Younger, more evolved granitic magmas were often intruded simultaneously with high-grade metamorphism. This development may reflect a stabilisation of the individual terranes.

This presentation, based on various studies and our experiences, aims to highlight the paraprothetic and prosthetic protocol in oral implantlogy. The purpose of this paper is to perform prosthetic simulation prior to any surgical-implant procedure, as oral implant logy arises as a consequence and in response to prosthetics in cases of partial or total insufficiency. By comparing the clinical efficacy of the early and late protocol of dental implant placement according to the protocol. The objectives of this paper are to determine the position, diameter, and number of implants determined by the therapeutic angle that present cases with insufficiency and then indicate the need for prosthetic (suprastructural) work depending on the anatomical considerations of the jaw. Planned prosthetic work may have to vary depending on the appropriate jaw implant position. What needs to be emphasized is proper diagnosis and prosthetic treatment / planning as well as surgical stages.

Ritonavir may inhibit exoribonuclease activity of nsp14 from the SARS-CoV-2 virus and potentiate the activity of chain terminating drugs
Authors: narayanan naveen , nair deepak t
Published: May 2020

SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent for the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, and this virus belongs to the Coronaviridae family. The nsp14 protein of SARS-CoV-2 houses a 3’ to 5’exoribonuclease activity responsible for removing mismatches that arise during genome duplication. A homology model of nsp10-nsp14 complex was used to carry out in silico screening to identify molecules among natural products, or FDA approved drugs that can potentially inhibit the activity of nsp14. This exercise showed that ritonavir might bind to the exoribonuclease active site of the nsp14 protein. A model of the SCV2-nsp10-nsp14 complex bound to substrate RNA showed that the ritonavir binding site overlaps with that of the 3’nucleotide of substrate RNA. A comparison of the calculated energies of binding for RNA and ritonavir suggested that the drug may bind to the active site of nsp14 with significant affinity. It is, therefore, possible that ritonavir may prevent association with substrate RNA and thus inhibit the exoribonuclease activity of nsp14. Overall, our computational studies suggest that ritonavirmay serve as an effective inhibitor of the nsp14 protein. nsp14 is known to attenuate the inhibitory effect of drugs that function through premature termination of viral genome replication. Hence, ritonavir may potentiate the therapeutic properties of drugs such as remdesivir, favipiravir and ribavirin.

A printed dual broadband monopole antenna has been presented here for WLAN and WIMAX applications. The antenna is designed with the help of simulation software HFSS and proposed antenna is fabricated to verify the simulated results with the measured results. The patch of the proposed antenna consists of two identical metallic structures which are like English letter “E” and are placed face to face to each other. Now, the lower arms of E-shaped structures are connected together with a rectangular microstrip transmission line of length 15 mm and width 3.06 mm to form the proposed patch. The proposed “E” shape patch is printed on FR4 substrate of height 1.6 mm, relative permittivity εr= 4.4, and loss tangent 0.02. The ground plane of the proposed antenna consists of partial rectangular metal at opposite side of the patch. The proposed antenna achieves dual band characteristics using the proposed structure. The measured results show that the proposed structure covers the transmission bands from 2.45 GHz to 3.66 GHz with center frequency of 3.0 GHz and from 4.16 GHz to 5.94 GHz with center frequency of 5.37 GHz. There is a good impedance matching between measurement result and computer simulated results. The measured percentage bandwidths have been obtained by 39.1 % and 35.24 %, respectively. The peak gain (measured) at 3 GHz and 5.37 GHz resonant frequencies are 3 dBi and 4 dBi, respectively. This proposed antenna also exhibits with monopole like E-Plane and H-plane co-polarization radiation pattern at two center frequencies. The obtained bands are useful for WLAN and WiMAX applications.
