Authors: Jie Wen
Published: May 2024

The processing of emotional faces by individuals is an important basis for the perception and understanding of emotions. In accordance with the score of Schutte self-report Emotional Intelligence Scale (SSEIS), students in high and low emotional intelligence groups were screened out. Based on the computer vision technology, four kinds of emotional face pictures, including pleasure, anger, sadness and fear, were randomly presented with the help of the eye tracker, and four interest areas were divided into eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. The eye-movement indexes of subjects were recorded, and common characteristics of emotional face processing of college students and differences in gender and emotional intelligence were explored. The results showed that college students had a positive bias to emotional face processing and a certain bias to eye area; the number of fixation points in high emotional intelligence group was more and concentrated, and the processing was more rapid and efficient, while the number of fixation points in low emotional intelligence group was less and scattered, and the processing efficiency was lower; female college students were more detailed in emotional face processing.

Authors: D Jayanarayana Reddy
Published: May 2024

Crop yield estimation is the art of yield prediction before harvest and it is essential for planning and making conclusive agricultural policies. The forecasting of crop yield is essential in optimal nutrient management, crop insurance, crop market planning and harvest management. However, the crop yield estimation is considered as a challenging task because of huge amount of abundant information exists in the crop data. Therefore, an effective feature selection is required to be developed for removing the redundant attributes. In this research, an Improved Salp Swarm Algorithm (ISSA) based feature selection for an effective crop yield estimation. The Opposition Based Learning (OBL) and Local Search Algorithm (LSA) are incorporated in the ISSA’s initialization and exploitation phase for selecting optimum feature subset. The selected features from the ISSA are used to enhance the classification using Modified Long Short Term Memory (MLSTM) classifier. The performance of the ISSA-MLSTM is analyzed using accuracy, precision, recall, F-score, Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency Coefficient (NSEC), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The existing researches such as Ensemble approach and MLSTM are used to evaluate the ISSA-MLSTM. The accuracy of the ISSA-MLSTM is 99% that is high when compared to the MLSTM.

Implications of Artificial intelligence in the form of 3D-printing in Endodontics: A Review
Authors: Ishani Saluja
Published: May 2024

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has become an emerging technology in dentistry, and specifically in endodontics. This technology enables the creation of highly accurate and patient-specific 3D models, surgical guides, and custom-made instruments that have revolutionized endodontic treatment. This abstract provides an overview of the applications of 3D printing in endodontics, including preoperative planning, fabrication of surgical guides, production of custom-made instruments, and postoperative evaluation. The accuracy and precision of 3D-printed models have shown to improve the quality of endodontic treatment and reduce the risk of complications. The creation of new dental models is made possible by three-dimensional printing. 3D-printed teeth have been used in a lot of studies, however standards for standardised research are still being created. Although they have significant disadvantages, using real teeth is still the norm in ex vivo investigations and pre-clinical training. All the restrictions of natural teeth may be overcome by printed teeth. Printing technology uses 3D data and post-processing tools to create a 3D model, which is then used by 3D printers to create a prototype. The hardness of the resin and the correctness of the canal anatomy printing are the main issues with 3D-printed teeth. Future research is given direction in order to address the issues with 3D-printed teeth and create defined protocols in order to attain method standardisation. In the future, ex vivo investigations and endodontic training could use 3D-printed teeth as the gold standard. Furthermore, 3D printing has also facilitated communication between the dental team and the patient, leading to a better understanding of the treatment plan and enhancing the patient experience. This review intends to gather information regarding 3D-printed teeth on the following themes: (1) their benefits; (2) their manufacturing processes; (3) their issues; and (4) potential future research topics. In conclusion, 3D printing has the potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of endodontic treatment and improve clinical outcomes.

A Novel Approach for Diagnosing Transformer Internal Defects and Inrush Current Based on 1DCNN and LSTM Deep Learning
Authors: Wael Abdulhassan Atiyah
Published: May 2024

In power systems, power transformer (Pt) protection plays a vital role in ensuring that customers have a reliable power supply. Correctly recognizing inrush currents from internal defects and preventing differential relay malfunctions are two of biggest challenges facing the differential protection of power transformers. Although previous approaches suggested to overcome these issues have promising outcomes, increasing the accuracy and reducing the execution time and complexity of transformer differential relays are still interesting topics for researchers. Accordingly, a new fault diagnostic method based on wavelet transform (WT) and deep learning is introduced in paper. In the proposed approach, Discrete WT is used to extract the features of differential currents, and combined one-dimensional convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory (1DCNN-LSTM)) is applied for classify internal faults from other abnormal events. High accuracy, no need for any thresholds or transformer parameters and fast fault detection are the main advantages of the proposed approach. The simulation results for a 132/11 kV, 63 MVA power transformer approved the proposed method for its ability to accurately differentiate between inrush currents and internal defects after 5 ms, as well as its accuracy for abnormal event classification of about 99.4%.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of altitude on the anaerobic performance during a maximal 60s sprint on a cycle ergometer. Methods: Seven female and 12 male college students volunteered to participate in the study. Each participant performed two separate 60s Wingate tests, once at an elevation of 90 m (~300 ft), and once at an altitude of 2,438 m (8,000 ft). Testing at altitude was simulated by an Everett Summit II Hypoxic Generator. Each subject was given a minimum of seven days between each test to ensure that they were well rested and recovered from the previous bout. Peak power, mean power, relative peak power, relative mean power, and fatigue index were measured. Data were analyzed via a paired sample t-test. Results: Significant differences were noted for both mean power (p = 0.012) and relative mean power (p = 0.008) for the sprint at 2,438 m (8,000 ft) of altitude. All other measured variables were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion: This study, found no effect on peak power, relative peak power, or fatigue index in 2,438 m (8,000 ft) of altitude during a 60s maximal effort bout. However, mean power was reduced in altitude conditions. These results highlight that altitude exposure may reduce mean power during an acute, maximal bout of exercise.

Published: May 2024

Purpose: To compare the effects of purported cognitive enhancing dietary bioactive ingredients on subjective and objective measures of cognitive and motor performance during a first-person shooter video game.Methods: Using a placebo-controlled crossover design, nine healthy men (23.4±5.7 yr, 178.9±5.8cm, 86.0±17.1kg) completed four 20-minute gaming sessions designed to assess cognitive, motor, and perceptual skills via artificial intelligence-driven battery of tasks (Aim Lab). Participants ingested either a placebo (PL), caffeine (CAFF), or caffeine + methylliberine (Dynamine™) + theacrine (TeaCrine®) (CMT). Before and after each gaming session participants rated various feelings of affect. Data were analyzed using mixed factorial ANOVA, bootstrapping post-hoc tests with 95% confidence intervals, and effect sizes.Results: Compared to PL, self-assessed performance was significantly increased in CMT vs. PL (p=0.035) and self-assessed jitteriness was increased by CAFF vs. PL (p=0.043). CMT was associated with a greater improvement of participants’ visuo-spatial working memory from baseline vs. PL (p=0.04) and CAFF (p=0.033). CAFF had a greater decrease in reaction time for false alarms (indicating diminished cognitive control) from baseline vs. PL (p=0.002) and CMT (p=0.001) and a greater increase for time on target tracking vs. PL (p=0.008) and CMT (p=0.047). Compared to PL, CMT was associated with a greater decrease in median kill time (indicating improved speed) (p=0.017). Compared to PL, systolic blood pressure was significantly increased by CAFF (p=0.025) and CMT (p=0.020) but remained within normal limits.Conclusions: Acute CMT supplementation improved cognitive and motor abilities in recreational gamers. The addition of theacrine and methylliberine to caffeine may lessen some undesirable effects of isolated caffeine ingestion on cognitive control and jitteriness.

Published: May 2024

Introduction: This study aimed to examine if acute caffeine consumption influenced substrate utilization between recreationally trained males and females during submaximal aerobic exercise.Methods: Implementing a counter-balanced, crossover design study, 14 recreationally trained males (n = 7) and females (n = 7) consumed either 4 mg/kg of caffeine in 8 oz of water (CAFF) 60 min prior to aerobic exercise at varying submaximal intensities or the solitary consumption of 8 oz of water (CON). Substrate utilization was assessed via indirect calorimetry by measuring the respiratory exchange ratio.  Results: There were no significant main effects for substrate utilization between sexes for the CAFF (p = .265) or CON (p = .253) trial. There were also no significant main effects for independent sex analysis between the two conditions (males, p = .917; females, p = .869).Conclusions: This study suggests no significant difference in substrate utilization between sexes when consuming caffeine. Although previous literature has indicated caffeine has the potential to increase fat utilization during moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, the current results revealed that caffeine also had no impact on substrate utilization when independently analyzing males and females.

Authors: McMillin Charles , Melton Bridget , Murray Nicholas , D'Adamo Chris
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Resistance training (RT) is not only feasible but also widely recommended across a spectrum of chronic disease contexts as well as for those with functional limitations. Many RT machines incorporate mechanisms that alter the machine’s resistance curve (MRC) in an attempt to match the variable strength of the participant through a resisted ROM (RROM).  Several investigations have tested this relationship using weight selections greater than what might be appropriate for targeting low to moderate training  intensities. This article presents an analysis of low to moderate RT selections offered by seven RT machines.
Methods: An evaluation of the MRCs of seven RT machines was performed. Three leg extension machines, two chest press machines, and two seated row machines were selected for analysis from three fitness centers in Baltimore, MD and Oklahoma City, OK. The method of analysis is described. The acquired force data were normalized and plotted in order to categorize the MRCs of each machine.
Results: Four of the seven machines offered more than one MRC based on the weight selected.
Conclusions: The selection of resistance on an individual machine might influence targeted factors such as participant effort or achievable RROM.
Utilizing the Biopsychosocial Approach for Understanding and Treating Pain
Authors: Dabrowski Katie
Published: May 2024

The biomedical model's narrow focus on structural causes is inadequate for chronic pain, which involves complex, multifactorial issues beyond tissue damage. Chronic pain affects nearly 21% of U.S. adults, underscoring the urgent need for a deeper understanding of pain among rehabilitation clinicians. The biopsychosocial (BPS) model broadens this perspective by considering psychological and social factors, such as emotional distress and lifestyle impacts, alongside physical aspects. Despite the effectiveness of combining exercise with BPS education in treating chronic pain, current educational and clinical practices have yet to fully embrace this comprehensive approach. Future research should prioritize incorporating BPS principles into healthcare education and clinical guidelines to improve treatment outcomes and address the significant effects of chronic pain on individuals' quality of life, healthcare engagement, and daily activities.
