Issues related to possible problems of the feasibility of operating the existing system for regulating the performance of a technological piston hydrogen compressor at a large chemical production and the relevance of its modernization are considered. In practice, modernization is one of the options for implementing import-substituting technologies in relation to equipment operated at large chemical, oil and gas processing enterprises. Technical and economic factors are accepted as the dominant prerequisites; as an alternative to the existing control system by squeezing the valves for part of the piston stroke, a control technology is chosen by changing the value of the dead volume in the working chamber of the cylinder. The presence of significant uncertainty factors in the implementation of known methods for calculating the productivity losses of the actual working process in the stage of a piston compressor has led to the need to perform variant calculations. The implementation of this approach ensured high convergence of the results of calculations and industrial tests and made it possible to clarify the value of the conditionally constant polytropic index of the final parameters, applicable for similar calculations of the object under consideration. Recommendations for the design of piston compressors with variable capacity are presented.

Authors: Elizondo-Ramirez Javier , Herrera-Castro Jose Carlos , del Rio-Martinez Christopher Jesus , Torres-Figueroa Oscar José , Munoz-Cobos Arturo , Ordonez-Solorio Luis Alberto
Published: November 2024

Background:

Bow Hunter’s syndrome (BHS) is a rare entity known as rotational vertebral artery occlusion syndrome. Classically, it presents with nausea, vertigo, and dizziness elicited by extension or rotation of the neck. There are several management approach modalities, including surgical and nonsurgical alternatives.

Methods:

We conducted an electronic database search on PubMed and Scopus. The search was performed on February 18, 2024, using a combination of keywords related to Bow Hunter Syndrome regarding management. From the latter query, 97 results followed, from which we included 76 and excluded 21 due to the information being irrelevant to our study and non-retrievable publications.

Results:

A total of 121 patients were retrieved. The mean age of presentation was 50 years, with a female-to-male ratio of 3:1. There were 108 adult cases, and only 13 were pediatric and adolescents. Symptoms were elicited by right rotation (46%). The most affected levels were C1-C2 (44%). The anterior approach was the most common (40%) and had a better outcome (84%), followed by the posterior (30%), which had more cases with partial recovery (19% vs. 16%).

Conclusion:

BHS management is still challenging as there are many factors that we must consider when deciding on the approach. There is inconclusive evidence on the proper management of these patients. Although the suggestions found in our review and our experience are valuable, no definitive management ensures a good quality of life and outcome for these patients. Further research is needed on this topic.

Authors: Chowdhury Elma A. , Sivan Vijay , Kumar Rohit Prem , Ruzicka IV Francis F. , Azmi Hooman
Published: November 2024

Background:

Magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy offers incisionless treatment for essential tremor or tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease, gaining acceptance as an alternative to deep brain stimulation. Compared to other methods, it offers real-time efficacy assessment without ionizing radiation.

Case Description:

A 63-year-old male underwent MRgFUS, initially yielding subtle results due to skull limitations. However, significant tremor relief emerged 6 hours post-procedure, sustained for 5 days. Imaging confirmed thalamotomy effect. A second treatment was delivered at day five for longevity.

Conclusion:

For patients with challenging skull characteristics and initial suboptimal outcomes, staged procedures may be considered, with potential delayed benefits and the need for lesion expansion for long-term relief.

Published: November 2024

Background:

Pituitary adenomas rank third among adult intracranial tumors, with an incidence of 3.9– 7.4 cases/per 100,000 annually. Transsphenoidal surgery has evolved to include endoscopic endonasal surgery (EEA) in many centers due to technological and surgical advancements over the past two decades. We aim to analyze a 12-year cohort of pituitary adenomas operated through EEA, highlighting the evolution of surgical techniques and outcomes.

Methods:

A retrospective review of patients undergoing EEA was conducted. A team of an otolaryngologist and neurosurgeon performed surgeries. The cohort was divided into three groups: Phase 1 (P1, 2012–2015), Phase 2 (P2, 2016–2019), and Phase 3 (P3, 2020–2023). Patient demographics, clinical data, and outcomes were collected from electronic medical records and compared over time.

Results:

The mean age was 54.2 years, with 53.5% being female. The gross total resection rate was 75.6%, increasing from 62.3% in P1 to 76.3% in P3 (P= 0.003). The mean operative duration was 274.61 min, with no significant correlation to case number. Complication rates, excluding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, were similar between the groups, with no statistically significant differences observed for complications such as visual deficit, cranial nerve palsy, and epistaxis. However, meningitis decreased significantly from 3.8% to 0.3% (P< 0.001). Intraoperative CSF leaks decreased from 65.1% to 55% (P= 0.003). The need for revision surgery was lower in P3 (8.5% vs. 5.4% vs. 2.1,P< 0.001). Length of hospitalization decreased from 5.3 days to 3.9 days (P< 0.001).

Conclusion:

Our experience with EEA for pituitary adenomas shows significant improvements in surgical outcomes, reduced complications, and better postoperative management, underscoring the importance of experience, technical refinement, and a multidisciplinary approach.

Authors: Prandzhev Vladimir Stoyanov , Georgiev Nikolay Dinev , Vezirska Donika Ivova
Published: November 2024

Background:

Sacral fractures causing neurological deficits secondary to epileptic seizures are very rare. They are traditionally treated by laminectomy and sacral fixation. However, minimally invasive techniques such as sacroplasty offer more limited surgery with decreased morbidity. Here, a 23-year-old male with a seizure-induced sacral fracture was successfully treated with a decompressive laminectomy and transcorporal sacroplasty.

Methods:

After a grand-mal seizure, a 23-year-old male presented with severe paraparesis accompanied by bilateral S1/S2 radiculopathy and urinary/fecal incontinence (Gibbons grade 4). When studies documented a Roy-Camille type 2 sacral fracture with severe central compression of the S1/S2 spinal canal, he underwent an S1-S2 laminectomy with transcorporal sacroplasty.

Results:

On the 1st postoperative day, he ambulated without assistance and demonstrated only mild residual sensory deficits (Gibbons grade 2); 1-month later, he walked without assistance.

Conclusion:

A 23-year-old male with a seizure-induced sacral fracture was successfully treated with a decompressive S1/S2 laminectomy/transcorporal sacroplasty.
ПРИМЕНЕНИЕ БАЙЕСОВСКИХ СЛОЕВ ДЛЯ ПОЛУЧЕНИЯ ВЕРОЯТНОСТНЫХ ОЦЕНОК ПРЕДСКАЗАНИЙ ПО РАСХОДУ ГАЗА, ПОЛУЧЕННЫХ ПРИ ПОМОЩИ LSTM НЕЙРОСЕТИ
Authors: Е. АБРАМКИН С , К. ПЕТРОВА А
Published: November 2024

Для идентификации отклонений в результатах измерения объемов газа может быть применена LSTM нейросеть. Однако необходимо получить вероятностные оценки предсказанных нейросетью значений, математическое ожидание и дисперсию прогнозируемых результатов, и, соответственно, доверительные интервалы этих значений, которые с заданной вероятностью накрывают оцениваемый параметр. В данной статье рассматривается подход, при котором, для получения вероятностных характеристик результатов предсказаний LSTM нейросети, синтезируется нейросеть с дополнительными Байесовскими слоями, при помощи которых, используя распределение весов вместо единичных значений весов, можно оценить неопределенность прогнозов сети.

An LSTM neural network can be used to identify deviations in the results of measuring gas volumes. However, it is necessary to obtain probabilistic estimates of the values predicted by the neural network, the mathematical expectation and variance of the predicted results, and, accordingly, confidence intervals of these values, which cover the estimated parameter with a given probability. This article considers an approach in which, in order to obtain probabilistic characteristics of the results of LSTM neural network predictions, a neural network with additional Bayesian layers is synthesized, with the help of which, using the distribution of weights instead of single values of weights, it is possible to estimate the uncertainty of network forecasts.

Silicon’s dominance in integrated circuits is largely due to its stable native oxide, SiO2, known for its insulating properties and excellent interface to the Si channel. However, silicon-based FETs face significant challenges when further scaled, inspiring the search for better semiconductors. While 2D materials such as MoS2, WSe2, BP, and InSe are promising, they lack a stable and compatible native oxide. High mobility (812 cm2V−1S−1) 2D Bi2SeO2 stands out in this regard, as it can be oxidized into different forms of Bi2SeO5, thereby forming compatible high-κ native oxides. Despite growing interest in this material system, a comprehensive understanding of its fundamental properties is lacking. This study uses Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics simulations to investigate the intrinsic properties of Bi2SeO2 and its native oxides. Additionally, Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy is employed to complement these theoretical analyses, providing detailed insights into the atomic scale structure and interfaces of these materials. Building on these findings, we model semiconductor-oxide heterostructures and extract their intrinsic properties. Our results demonstrate that the atomically sharp and clean interface between oxide and semiconductor, the high dielectric constant (>30) of the oxide, and the sufficiently large band offsets between the semiconductor and the most relevant beta-phase of its native insulator (1.13 eV for holes and 1.55 eV for electrons) make this material system a strong candidate for future transistor technologies. These properties mitigate the limitations of traditional semiconductors and enhance device performance at the ultimate scaling limit, positioning 2D Bi2SeO2 as a suitable choice for next-generation nanoelectronics.

Published: November 2024

Nanoparticles represent a powerful class of materials for drug delivery, leveraging their small size for passive targeting through the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) effect in tumors. This universal approach in tumor targeting offers several advantages over free therapeutics, particularly when combined with imaging capabilities. While a plethora of nanoparticles exists for various imaging techniques, the number of nanoparticles with therapeutic functions is much smaller, due to the synthetic challenges present for incorporation and release of an active drug. Here, we present a strategy to transform the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) Lenvatinib into a polymerizable prodrug monomer, enabling its incorporation into biodegradable polyimidazole-based particles. This drug monomer is then polymerized and thus incorporated into the nanoparticles via direct arylation in a dispersion polymerization approach. The polyimidazole backbone allows for high drug loading of up to 89 wt%. Additionally, the photoacoustic properties of the polyimidazole nanoparticles are preserved after drug incorporation. Moreover, the backbone remains degradable upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, facilitating drug release. This approach enables covalent packaging of a chemically inert drug, for which no alternative prodrug approaches exist. The result is a new theranostic nanoagent.
Computational Analysis of IL-13Rα2 Specific CAR T-Cells in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
Authors: Vemuri Kaavya , Sharma Gaurav
Published: November 2024

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive malignancy in the brain or spinal cord astrocytes. GBM makes up nearly all malignant primary brain tumors. Interleukin-13 receptor subunit alpha-2 (IL-13Rα2) is a monomeric receptor overexpressed in most GBM cases. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cells have exhibited excellent anti-tumoral activity against GBM and other cancer types. Recently, GBM-specific monoclonal antibodies containing CAR T-cell targeting IL-13Rα2 have been created. We hypothesize that to be a GBM-specific CAR T-cell, the CAR should bind to a specific binding region of the IL-13Rα2 receptor. In the current research, we have studied the interactions between antibodies (located on the CAR's surface) and IL-13Rα2 by performing molecular docking simulations. AlphaFold 3 was used to predict the structure of the receptor, and molecular docking simulations using HDOCK2.4 were performed. The GrASP web server suggests that the druggable/binding site on the receptor is on domain 2, and the antibody also binds to this spot. A total of 15 antibodies were evaluated using the following criteria to determine the most suitable binding antibodies: Initially, a visual inspection of IL-13Rα2-antibody complexes was conducted. Subsequently, the binding energy of each IL-13Rα2-antibody interaction was calculated. Finally, the number of hydrogen bonds was analyzed. Based on the above analysis, antibody 1F8T showed the most promising properties and could be used for CAR development. This study will significantly contribute to developing novel antibody-based CAR T therapy for GBM by providing a deeper understanding of the receptor-antibody binding mechanism via computational simulations.

Published: November 2024

Microneedle arrays have been shown to be a minimally invasive method of transdermal drug delivery. However, methods to coat these arrays often require a reservoir of the active ingredient, leading to material unused and wasted. Electrospray deposition is a targeted coating method that offers a competitive alternative for coating microneedles. By architecting the charge landscape of the setup, this technology can achieve coating deposition efficiencies nearing 100%, with little to no material wasted during the coating process. A Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus DNA vaccine was used as the model material to assess deposition efficiency as well as the efficacy of fragile biological materials subjected to electrospray deposition. These coatings were inserted into Sprague Dawley rats where the antigen was subsequently detected and located using immunohistochemistry. This work demonstrates the capability of electrospray deposition as a highly efficient method to coat microneedles for transdermal drug delivery.
Identification of Inhibitors for Amyloid-beta in Alzheimer's Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
Authors: Vakani Aarav , Sharma Gaurav
Published: November 2024

The neurodegenerative illness Alzheimer's disease causes 70% of cases of dementia, leading to the impairment of behavioral and cognitive functions such as language, attention, memory, judgment, and reasoning. The disease is caused by the buildup of amyloid fibrils in brain neurons. Recently, in 2023, a new type of amyloid fibril extracted from the leptomeninges of Alzheimer’s disease patients has been resolved. This structure has a different shape and size than the earlier 2019 structure. We hypothesize that since the two structures are different, the ligands binding and inhibiting the structure should also be different. Therefore, a rigorous research process was undertaken, including molecular docking simulations to identify inhibitors that can bind at the fibril interface and prevent fibril formation. A total of 8216 ligands were docked on the amyloid protein, and the best five ligands based on the binding interactions were selected for further evaluation. These results were further validated using a machine-learning technique called P2Rank. Finally, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations in the protein-fibril complex were performed to understand the interactions between amyloid peptide/fibril and the plasma membrane. The thoroughness of our research process instills confidence in the potential of developing inhibitors that can prevent fibril formation, potentially leading to new treatments for the disease.

Published: November 2024

The Kotumsar cave is situated in the Eastern Ghats and has been reported by the existence of 14 different organisms morphologically. To reassess the living taxa and hitherto unreported organisms, intervention of molecular tool is required to corroborate the exact faunal diversity. In the present study, we dealt with the environmental samples and opportunistically encountered living specimens from both deep and transition zones of the Kotumsar cave. The morphological and integrated approach confirmed the existence of Rhinolophus rouxii (Medellin et al., 2017) (bat), Kempiola shankari Sinha and Agarwal, 1977 (cricket), Heteropoda leprosa Simon, 1884 (spider). Further, the collected environmental DNA (eDNA) samples were successfully identified as Fejervarya pierrei (Dubois, 1975) (frog), Indoreonectes evezardi (Day, 1872) (fish), Metrocoris sp. (true bug), Barytelphusa cunicularis (Westwood, 1836) (crab), Trigoniulidae sp. (millipede), and Megascolecidae sp. (worm). Hence, the present investigation through combined approaches by both morphological and molecular data helps to add six more organisms to the faunal checklist of Kotumsar cave. The study also contributed the genetic information of cavernicoles in the global database from India. This genetic information would further help to pursuing other biological studies and adopt better conservation strategies of cave-dwelling organisms and restoration of the colligated ecosystem.

The genetic information (mtCytb) of wide-spread Mock Viper, Psammodynastes pulverulentus is restricted to China and Myanmar. We collected the live individual of P. pulverulentus from Mizoram state in northeast India and generate the partial mtCytb data to affirm the morphology-based species identification. The generated DNA data showed 94.67% similarity with the sequences generated from Myanmar; however, 92.59% to 92.98% similarity with the sequences generated from China through BLAST results. In comparison with other recognized families and subfamilies of alethinophidian and scolecophidians snakes, the studied species depicted discrete clade in the Bayesian Inference (BI) analysis and closely related with the sister species Psammodynastes pictus. The haplotype network revealed distinct haplotype of P. pulverulentus collected from northeast India with 6.6% and 8.9% to 9.6% Kimura 2 parameter (K2P) genetic distance with the Burmese and Chinese collections respectively. The study elucidates the possible cryptic diversity of P. pulverulentus within its wide range distribution, which requires further large-scale attempts with more genetic information to adjudicate the actual diversity.

HUMOUR AND PREJUDICE: GAUGING HIJRA STEREOTYPES IN SELECT INDIAN MOVIES
Authors: Gupta Kanika
Published: November 2024

People of the third gender have been a vital part of Indian culture and society for centuries. They are known by several names in India, including Hijras, Aravani, Kinnar, Eunuchs, Jogappa, Khusras, Thirunangai, etc. Their human existence does not provide them with a valued social identity; rather, it is denigrated, disrespected, and disparaged. They face discrimination and humiliation in almost every aspect of life. The present paper attempts to read and analyse the stereotyped representation of hijra characters in mainstream Indian cinema via the prism of Zillmann and Cantor’s “disparaging humour theory”. Being “different” accords them a unique status that, in lieu of regard, respect, and acknowledgment, bestows upon them treatment that is worse than that of animals. In the lack of a respectful place in society, they experience harassment everywhere and endure undue pain and trauma. The present study focuses on this disparaged and marginalised aspect as portrayed in select Indian films.

With a focus on both print and digital materials, it assesses key factors influencing satisfaction, including resource availability, technical support, and usability. Employing hypothesis testing and statistical analysis of data from 750 participants, findings reveal that satisfaction varies significantly across different academic and professional stages. While early-stage students express higher satisfaction with print resources, advanced students and professionals show a growing preference for digital resources, despite facing barriers like access restrictions and technical issues. Satisfaction with open access resources is generally positive, though issues with searchability and awareness limit their utility. The study emphasizes the need for law libraries to adopt a hybrid resource model that balances print and digital collections, enhances technical support, and promotes user education to address these accessibility challenges effectively.
A STUDY ON THE ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION OF SATTRIYA DANCE IN ASSAM
Authors: Borah Hemanta , Gogoi Namrata Phukan
Published: November 2024

Sattriya dance was established in the 15th century A.D. by the Vaishnava saint Mahapurusha Sankaradeva as a vital means of propagating the Vaishnava faith. It has been maintained, as a unique dance form, by the Sattras or Vaishnava monasteries for centuries, hence the name. The tradition is strict on the principles of hand gestures, footwork, costumes, and music. It mainly consists of two streams of Bhaona repertoire such as Gayan-Bhayanar Nach and Kharmanar Nach and independent dances such as Chali, Rajagharia Chali, Jhumura, and Nadu Bhangi. Chali is characterized by grace, while Jhumura is characterized by vigor and grandeur. Sankardeva integrated his new form of art with elements from other treatises and local folk dances. Even before the neo-Vaishnava movement, Ojapali and Devadasi dances were prevalent in Assam to infuse classical elements to the Sattriya. While both Ojapalis-Sukananni and Vyah Goa Ojah are still performed, Vyah Goa Ojah is now an integral part of Sattras rituals. Devadasi influence can be seen in rhythmic syllables and postures. Assamese folk dances, such as Bihu and Bodos, have also influenced Sattriya, with some very visible similarities in gestures and rhythms.

Education is a strong foundational democratic value of continuous universal significance. It is the best platform for  acquiring  the skills, techniques, information and  respect for the duties. The magnitude of the importance of education in life is  multi-fold. Education is like the right to life as it is the mother of realizing other  human rights. In the 21st  Century  worldwide activities  are running on the wheels of education. To live a dignified life, education leads the way. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that "Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory." "Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that  shall be given to their children." The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights says  "Primary education shall be compulsory and available free for all." The right to education has been recognized as a constitutionally protected fundamental right in India.  In Unni Krishnan  Case (1993), the Supreme Court declared that the ‘right to education’ is  part of the right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. In 2002 through the Eighty-Sixth Constitutional Amendment Act, Article 21-A was inserted.  Article 21A ‘requires the state to provide free and compulsory education of all children between the ages of six and fourteen in such a manner as the state may determine’.  In 2009, the Indian Parliament enacted the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory. Education Act [RTE Act]. The Act aims to provide “free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years. The International Human Rights Bill and Constitution of India tries its best to ensure  availability, accessibility, acceptability, adaptability of the right to education. The Article seeks to highlight various provisions related to right to education in international law and domestic law along with judicial interpretation. The authors also try to highlight the features of the Right to education Act, 2009.

Introdução: A síndrome do desconforto respiratório (SDR) resulta da deficiência na produção de
surfactante pulmonar, levando à insuficiência respiratória em recém-nascidos. No tratamento dessa
condição, diversas técnicas de fisioterapia são empregadas, com a ventilação mecânica invasiva e não
invasiva, além do posicionamento terapêutico. Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos das técnicas de
fisioterapia respiratória na melhoria da mecânica respiratória e na oxigenação de neonatos com
síndrome do desconforto respiratório. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura
conduzida em junho de 2024, utilizando como fontes de dados as bases Scielo e PubMed, foram

selecionados 12 artigos que se alinham ao tema proposto. Resultados e Discussão: A SDR em recém-
nascidos pré-termo decorre da imaturidade pulmonar. Por isso, intervenções como CPAP nasal,

ventilação não invasiva de alta frequência e posicionamento terapêutico, como a posição prona, são
essenciais para minimizar a ventilação mecânica invasiva e reduzir complicações pulmonares graves.
Considerações Finais: As intervenções de fisioterapia são fundamentais no tratamento da SDR em
recém-nascidos pré-termo devido à sua capacidade de melhorar a mecânica respiratória, reduzir a
dependência de ventilação mecânica invasiva e mitigar complicações pulmonares graves,
promovendo melhores desfechos clínicos e qualidade de vida para os pacientes neonatais.
