Dissolved organic matter from tropical peatlands reduces shelf sea light availability in the Singapore Strait, Southeast Asia
Authors: Martin P , Sanwlani N , Lee TWQ , Wong JMC , Chang KYW , Wong EWS , Liew SC
Published: June 2021

Shelf seas provide valuable ecosystem services, but their productivity and ecological functioning depend critically on sunlight transmitted through the water column. Anthropogenic reductions in underwater light availability are thus a serious threat to coastal habitats. The flux of light-absorbing coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) from land to sea may have increased world-wide, but how this has altered the availability and spectral quality of light in shelf seas remains poorly known. We present time-series data from the Sunda Shelf in Southeast Asia, where the monsoon-driven reversal in ocean currents supplies water enriched in CDOM from tropical peatlands for part of the year, resulting in 5- to 10-fold seasonal variation in light absorption by CDOM. We show that this terrigenous CDOM can dominate underwater light absorption at wavelengths up to 500 nm, and shift the underwater irradiance spectrum towards longer wavelengths. The seasonal presence of terrigenous CDOM also reduces the 10% light penetration depth by 1-5 m, or 10-45%. We estimate that on average 0.6 m, or 25%, of this terrigenous CDOM-mediated shoaling might be attributable to the enhanced input of dissolved organic matter following peatland disturbance. The seasonal change in the light environment is correlated with changes in phytoplankton absorption spectra that suggest a photo-acclimation response, and we infer that terrigenous CDOM likely contributes to limiting the depth distribution of photosynthetic corals. The results reveal an ecologically important but largely overlooked impact of human modifications to carbon fluxes that is likely increasingly important in coastal seas.
USED OIL ANALYSIS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONDITION MONITORING
Authors: Abdel Gabar ALLA Jabo Abdel Gadir , Victor Eskandar Dr. Midhat
Published: June 2021

Engines are the main part of power plants.
The performance of the engine depends upon the good
condition of the components like cylinders, cylinder heads,
pistons, piston rings, valves, and connecting rods, etc.
The failure of engine components can be reduced
by using condition monitoring techniques. There are many
types of condition monitoring techniques are available.
The famous Non-destructive Tests (NDTs) for engines
condition monitoring are including vibration analysis,
infrared thermography, and engine used oil analysis.
The aim of this research is to reduce the failures of
engine components by analyzing the used oil. Oil is the lifeblood of engines. Much like doctors assess human health
through blood analysis, engine components can be
monitored in much the same manner. Engine oil analysis
means testing a sample of engine oil in unused or used
condition. Analysis is done for various properties like
Viscosity, Total Base Number (TBN), Total Acid Number
(TAN), Ash Content, Flash Point, Water Content,
Contamination, and Wear Metal particles which used to
monitor the wear rate of engine components. The result of
the analysis is then compared with the given analysis limits
to assess the quality of lubricant and the possibility of
further using, or not.
The properties of oil will be changed based on engine
running hours. The used oil can be collected from engine
after various running hours for analyzing, and the test
result is used to assess the condition of engine and oil
quality, then maintenance decision will be made according
to those results. This optimization of maintenance
activities will result in a reasonable cost reduction by
increasing the interval of lubricant replacing and saving
time and efforts of maintenance authorities.

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the
infestation status of insect pest on different wheat
variety. Five wheat variety (BARI GOM -24, BARI
GOM-25, BARI GOM-27, BARI GOM-28and BARI
GOM-29) were used as a test crop to conduct the study.
The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete
Block Design with three replications. Total 5 insect pests
were found from this experiment among wheat aphid
and wireworm as major and leaf hopper, grass hopper
and cereal leaf beetle as minor insect of wheat. The
highest insect pest was found in grain filling stage and
lowest was found in panicle initiation stage. In grain
filling stage, the lowest number of aphid (6.26) was
recorded from BARI GOM-29 and the highest number
of wheat aphid (9.11) was found in BARI GOM-24.
Effect of different varieties of plant height, filled grain,
unfilled grain, weight of 1000 grain and yield showed
significant. The highest yield (3.56 tha-1
) was recorded in
BARI GOM-29 and the lowest yield 2.29 tha-1 was
recorded in BARI GOM-25. The highest percentage of
infested spike hill-1 was recorded in BARI GOM-27 and
lowest was found in BARI GOM-29. The lowest yield
loss (31.53%) was recorded in BARI GOM-29. This is
might be due to physical resistance of the varieties.
BARI GOM-29 recommended to wheat growers as it is
found the most resistant/tolerant wheat cultivar against
wheat insect pest with maximum grain yield as
compared to other cultivars.

Published: June 2021

—Corrosion of steel pole is a serious issue as they
used steel pole to support overhead power line in
distribution. A lot of money and time are spent for
maintenance and repair of existing steel pole. This paper
presents investigation on various coating technologies of
steel pole for initial corrosion activity. Five types of coating
were used on steel samples; epoxy, VEF polyglass,
galvanized, epoxy galvanized and polyglass galvanized.
The accelerated ageing test, salt spray test and water
absorption test were used to determine coating
degradation and severity of corrosion process. It was
found that, the corrosion rate for epoxy galvanized and
VEF polyglass galvanized were higher as the samples were
undergoing accelerated ageing test. While VEF polyglass
steel showed higher percentage of weight loss during salt
spray test. In addition, the results of water absorption
behavior showed that epoxy steel gave higher average of
absorption rate. The results obtained lead to low
degradation of coating as the corrosion rate seem to be uniform

ABC is a retail textile shop is situated in a suburb
area of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. They have a routine of
daily sales and weekly purchases and have a monthly
expense of utility and salary payment for workers who
work on sales. For the moment they are running a filebased system like Excel sheet for inventory keeping,
purchasing, maintaining vendors’ details and workers
details, daily sales and profit margins including number
of items on each variety with a custom variety code. Since
there is poor network coverage in the area, they are
unable to use an open source online inventory system. So,
it was decided to implement an inventory management
system for them. By developing, “Procurement and
Inventory Management System”, they can reduce their
time for entering, updating, calculating and retrieving
data. Not only that but also, they can avoid data
redundancy, data consistency, high data security,
privacy, and easy recovery. They can enter memos or
special notes and they can filter and search related data.
And, they can export grid view data to Microsoft excel
sheet. The system built has been able to have a positive
and beneficial impact on both organization and
consumers. To develop the system, it was used agile
software development methodology, the SQL Server 2014
was used as the database, Visual Studio 2010 as developer
tools and C# is used as the programming language. The
results of this study to get a system that has been
developed that can make transactions which generate
transaction reports, and which update database and
remind notes for consumers thus greatly supporting the
activities at the ABC shop.

Published: June 2021

The refined aim behind this project is to
detect and measure the wrist movements of paralytic
patients with an accelerometer, which is used to convey
messages to the caretaker during regular or dire
circumstances. Paralysis is the loss of strength in and
control over a muscle or group of muscles in a part of the
body, which many people in today’s world suffer from. To
cater to this problem of the paralytic patients, the wrist
movements of the hands play a cardinal role in this
proposed system. Our proposed system works by measuring
the tilt angle detected by the device which is placed on the
opisthenar area (dorsal) which is the corresponding area on
the posterior part of the hand. Different tilt angles convey
different messages and at the time of exigency with the help
of Wi-Fi module and Blynk application, emergency
notification will be sent to the concerned caretaker
facilitating effective and efficient communication, ensuring
full time attention to the patient’s needs in all the
circumstances.
THE LEAF GREENNESS AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF PADDY PLANTS INFLUENCED BY BIOLOGICAL FERTILIZER WITH AND WITHOUT COMBINATION OF INORGANIC FERTILIZERS
Authors: Evarist Ngui Marianus , Evarist Ngui Dr. Sugiyanta , Melati Dr. Maya
Published: June 2021

The use of biological fertilizer seems to be most
important in creating environments for sustainable
agriculture. This fertilizer is made up of living bacteria
cells which depending on the soil conditions, are able to
reproduce. In soil these bacteria have the greatest benefits
for agricultural crops. They can increase the level of
nitrogen in soil after converting the atmospheric nitrogen.
Other species of these bacteria increase the availability of
essential nutrient, Phosphorous. However, the availability
of these two essential nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous)
in the soil is one factor in plant growth and yields. The
second important factor is the ability of the roots to absorb
these nutrients. In this aspect, the volume and type of roots
of the respective plant also contribute significantly to
plants growth as well as provision of expected yields. This
study was carried on from September to December, 2018
at Sawah Baru, Bogor Agricultural University. The
objectives were to observe the influence of biological
fertilizer with and without combination of NPK and Urea
fertilizers to enable rice plants to attain leaf green level
which could produce expected paddy yields. The
interaction effect between fertilizer treatments and the
paddy varieties was also observed. Experiment design was
two factor treatments arranged in a split plot. Fertilizer as
main plot and paddy varieties as sub-plot laid in a
Completely Randomized Block Design in 3 replications.
The results showed significant differences in leaf green
conditions and 1,000 grains weight of paddy.

In view of the complex composition of e-waste
and its resultant implications for e-waste disposal decision
among constituents, including households, at the microlevel; empirical evidences on factors predisposing
consumer e-waste disposal behavior, particularly for
specific e-waste category would enrich decision making on
sustainable e-waste management plan in developing
country context. It is on this premise/background that we
examined determinants of households’ e-waste disposal
decision for specific e-waste categories at local level in
selected States – Lagos and Oyo States, Southwestern
Nigeria. Using a 2018 household data set collected through
questionnaire survey, and subjected to descriptive and
inferential analytical tools. This study finds differences in
the factors influencing households’ e-waste disposal
decision between the two States and even within each
states, for each e-waste category considered.
Inconvenience, value reward, non-implementation/lack of
e-waste legislation/policy and lack of e-waste
collection/take back system were predominant
determinants of households’ decision to store or dispose
the e-waste categories in the study area. The study result
has positive implications for sustained e-waste
management plan and action at local levels, and more
specifically for the study area.

Published: June 2021

Drug Repurposing has shown potent therapeutic
effects of existing drugs on cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
The use of repositioned drugs for Myocardial Infarction (MI)
depends on the binding affinity of the drug molecules to the
disease targets. Discovery of new chemical entities for
cardiovascular diseases is challenging due to the increased
expenses and lower rate of success. Therefore, there has been
rigorous research on repurposing of the drugs with an aim to
reduce mortality rate and associated symptoms of the disease.
The advantage of drug repositioning is that, its safety profile is
previously known thereby the probable adverse effects can be
avoided. This article includes the comparison of the effects of
few repurposed drugs for the treatment of Myocardial
Infarction.

This paper examines the Hamiltonicity of graphs
having some hidden behaviours of some other graphs in it.
The well-known mathematician Barnette introduced the
open conjecture which becomes a theorem by restricting
our attention to the class of graphs which is 3-regular, 3-
connected, bipartite, planar graphs having odd number of
vertices in its partition be proved as a Hamiltonian.
Consequently the result proved in this paper stated that
“Every connected vertex-transitive simple graph has a
Hamilton path” shows a significant improvement over the
previous efforts by L.Babai and L.Lovasz who put forth
this conjecture. And we characterize a graphic sequence
which is forcibly Hamiltonian if every simple graph with
degree sequence is Hamiltonian. Thus we discussed
about the concealed graphs which are proven to be
Hamiltonian.

knowledge of human origins, human organizations,
human histories, human kingdoms, human languages,
human populations and above all the human genes,
unquestionable scientific evidence with human dignity
flabbergasted the European strong world of slavemasters and colonialist-policy-rulers. This deduces that
the early Europeans knew nothing scientific about the
mankind beforehand unleashing their one-up-man-ship
over Africa and the Africans except that they were the
white skinned flocks and so, not the kith and kin of the
Africans in black skin living in what they called the
‘Dark Continent’! Of course, in later times, the same
masters and rulers committed to not repeating their
colonialist racial geo-political injustices.
The whites were domineering and weaponized to the
hilt on their own mentality, for their own interests and
by their own logic opposing the geopolitically distant
African blacks inhabiting the natural resources enriched
frontiers. Those ‘twists and twitches’ in time-line led to
the black’s slavery and white’s slave-trade with

DeliData: A dataset for deliberation in multi-party problem solving
Authors: Karadzhov Georgi , Stafford Tom , Vlachos Andreas
Published: June 2021

Dialogue systems research is traditionally focused on dialogues between two interlocutors, largely ignoring group conversations. Moreover, most previous research is focused either on task-oriented dialogue (e.g. restaurant bookings) or user engagement (chatbots), while research on systems for collaborative dialogues is an under-explored area. To this end, we introduce a dataset containing collaborative conversations on solving a cognitive task, consisting of 226 group dialogues and 6693 utterances. Furthermore, we propose a novel annotation schema that captures deliberation cues and release 50 dialogues annotated with it. Finally, we demonstrate the usefulness of the annotated data in training classifiers to predict the constructiveness of a conversation
Tone – Melody Matching in Chaozhou Songs: A Corpus Analysis
Authors: Zhang Xi , Cross Ian
Published: June 2021

Chaozhou is a tone language with eight tones and a wealth of tone sandhi, providing a complex context that can be expected to shape Chaozhou songs. This paper explores the degree to which tone and melody are matched in terms of pitch direction by using a corpus of Chaozhou songs. A high degree of tone-melody matching was found, with 89% in folk songs and 78% in contemporary songs. Findings also suggest that: 1) Chaozhou tone sandhi has an effect on the tone-melody matching; 2) the tones realised in context can be categorised into high-, mid-, and low-pitch groups by emphasising the tone-pitch extremes, rather than the ending pitch of tones found to be effective in previous studies of Cantonese songs; 3) in the case of melismas (multi-note realisations of a syllable), relationships between initial notes were found to have the most consistent influence on tone-melody matching.
Mental Representation of Kunming Chinese Tone Sandhi: Episodic or Abstract?
Authors: Li Xiyuan
Published: June 2021

This poster investigated the mental representation of tone sandhi words (words that undergo tonal alternation) in Kunming Chinese. Auditory-auditory priming lexical decision task was conducted to examine whether the surface forms or the underlying forms of the sandhi words were stored in the mental lexicon and accessed during spoken word recognition. Results showed that the surface forms of T1 and T3 sandhi words were stored episodically in the mental lexicon. Although tone 1 sandhi and tone 3 sandhi rules differ in opacity, they were stored similarly, casting doubts on the role of opacity in determining the representation of sandhi patterns.
Design Challenges in Polymeric Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

Numerous surgical procedures are daily performed worldwide to replace and repair damaged tissue. Tissue engineering is the field devoted to the regeneration of damaged tissue through the incorporation of cells in biocompatible and biodegradable porous constructs, known as scaffolds. The scaffolds act as host biomaterials of the incubating cells, guiding their attachment, growth, differentiation, proliferation, phenotype, and migration for the development of new tissue. Furthermore, cellular behavior and fate are bound to the biodegradation of the scaffold during tissue generation. This article provides a critical appraisal of how key biomaterial scaffold parameters, such as structure architecture, biochemistry, mechanical behavior, and biodegradability, impart the needed morphological, structural, and biochemical cues for eliciting cell behavior in various tissue engineering applications. Particular emphasis is given on specific scaffold attributes pertaining to skin and brain tissue generation, where further progress is needed (skin) or the research is at a relatively primitive stage (brain), and the enumeration of some of the most important challenges regarding scaffold constructs for tissue engineering.
Sound Quality Characteristics of Importance for Preschool Children’s Perception and Wellbeing After an Acoustic Intervention
Authors: Persson Waye Kerstin , Karlberg Jonas
Published: June 2021

In Sweden preschool-age children spend most of their waking hours at preschool. At this age children undergo substantial physical and mental development and their hearing sensations may not be comparable to those of an adult. The preschool sound environment is loud and highly intermittent, and the acoustic may not be supportive for young children’s hearing, and wellbeing. This article describes an acoustic intervention among seven preschools, and comparisons with three reference preschools. The intervention included changing floor mats to plastic mats designed to reduce impact sounds, adding damping cushions under chairs, change of ceiling absorbers and, in some rooms, addition of wall absorbers. The effect of the intervention was studied using a previously developed interview protocol, “Inventory of Noise and Children’s Health,” in combination with sound level and room acoustic measurements. A total of 61 children aged 4–6 years were interviewed before the intervention, and 56 after. A reduction of the sound levels in a range of LAeq 1.2–3.8 dB for meal/craft rooms and play rooms were found for the intervention preschools using stationary noise level meters, while this was not found for the reference preschools. The reverberation time (T20) decreased slightly after the interventions. The average room frequency response for the two room types tended to be more flat after the interventions. Further investigations are needed to see its importance for the perceived acoustic quality. The results linking children’s perception and response to the measured reduction in sound levels, confirmed an association between reduced sound levels after the acoustic intervention and a 30% reduction in stomach ache, as well as in children’s perceptions of scraping, screeching sounds. Children’s perceptions of these sounds were further associated with important oral communication outcomes. Children’s bodily sensations of sounds were also associated with psychoacoustic symptoms and wellbeing. Despite the seemingly modest reduction in sound level, the acoustic intervention was indeed perceived and reported on by the children. Future studies should pay more attention to how a supportive preschool acoustic environment should be optimised and acoustically described to take preschool-age hearing and perception into account.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women, and its incidence is increasing each year. To effectively treat breast cancer, it is important to identify genes involved in its occurrence and development and to exploit them as potential drug therapy targets. Here, we found that potassium channel subfamily K member 6 (KCNK6) is significantly overexpressed in breast cancer, however, its function in tumors has not been reported. We further verified that KCNK6 expression is upregulated in breast cancer biopsies. Moreover, overexpressed KCNK6 was found to enhance the proliferation, invasion, and migration ability of breast cancer cells. These effects may occur by weakening cell adhesion and reducing cell hardness, thus affecting the malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells. Our study confirmed, for the first time, that increased KCNK6 expression in breast cancer cells may promote their proliferation, invasion, and migration. Moreover, considering that ion channels serve as therapeutic targets for many small molecular drugs in clinical treatment, targeting KCNK6 may represent a novel strategy for breast cancer therapies. Hence, the results of this study provide a theoretical basis for KCNK6 to become a potential molecular target for breast cancer treatment in the future.

The development of temozolomide (TMZ) resistance in glioma leads to poor patient prognosis. Sorafenib, a novel diaryl urea compound and multikinase inhibitor, has the ability to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier. However, the effect of sorafenib on glioma cells and the molecular mechanism underlying the ability of sorafenib to enhance the antitumor effects of TMZ remain elusive. Here, we found that sorafenib could enhance the cytotoxic effects of TMZ in glioma cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the combination of sorafenib and TMZ induced mitochondrial depolarization and apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) translocation from mitochondria to nuclei, and this process was dependent on STAT3 inhibition. Moreover, the combination of sorafenib and TMZ inhibited JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation and STAT3 translocation to mitochondria. Inhibition of STAT3 activation promoted the autophagy-associated apoptosis induced by the combination of sorafenib and TMZ. Furthermore, the combined sorafenib and TMZ treatment induced oxidative stress while reactive oxygen species (ROS) clearance reversed the treatment-induced inhibition of JAK2/STAT3. The results indicate that sorafenib enhanced the temozolomide sensitivity of human glioma cells by inducing oxidative stress-mediated autophagy and JAK2/STAT3-AIF axis.
