This study aims to investigate the effect of particle size and composition of bamboo and clove leaves as reinforcement components on resin-based brake pad performance. Bamboo fibers contain cellulose and lignin, making them better mechanical properties compared to glass fibers. Clove leaves due to their containment of oil components can be used, playing roles in binding bamboo with resin material. In short, experiments were done by involving polymerization of polyester resin as an adhesive with methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) at room temperature. The composition of polyester/MEKP/reinforcing components was fixed at a mass ratio of 10/1/1.76 and the particle size of the reinforcing components were 582 and 250 m. Reinforcing components were mixed carbonized bamboo fiber and dried clove leaves with a ratio of 4/1; 7/1; and 10/1. The results showed that smaller particles has better mechanical properties, and the more amount of bamboo particles give positive impacts on the material hardness. The best hardness value (reaching 24 N/cm2) and smallest pore volume (0.0213 cm3) were obtained when using the ratio of 10:1. While the smallest weight loss of mass at the rate of 0.1225 g/min was obtained by the ratio of 7/1. The largest friction coefficient and lowest wear rate were obtained by 4/1 with a value of 0.1108 and 1.08 g/s.mm2, respectively. This study demonstrates the use of biomass waste such as bamboo fiber and dried clove leaves as an alternative to asbestos and reduces the abundant waste of bamboo powder and dried clove leaves in Indonesia.

The purpose of this study was to utilize waste potato skins (PS) and yam skins (YS) in the production of briquettes with rice waste as a binder. The basic materials used to utilize waste, especially potato skins (PS), yam skins (YS), and rice waste. Experiments were carried out by mixing and molding carbon particles made from an equal mass ratio of PS and YS with rice as binders (i.e., 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%). PS and YS were dried, carbonized at 250°C for 3 hours, and sieved to get sizes of 250 μm. To make compact briquettes, the molded materials were pressed with 5.66 Pa. Several characterizations were analyzed, including compressed density, relaxed density, relaxation ratio, percentage of moisture content, burning rate, percentage of water resistance index, percentage of durability index, specific fuel consumption, the puncture test, and the hardness test. The characterization results showed that the prepared briquettes have good quality, and the best was for 10% of adhesive. The best durability index was for briquettes with 30% of adhesive. The compressed density and water resistance index were optimum when using 40% of adhesive. In general, briquettes with a low amount of adhesive have a high-density value, low moisture content, and a long flammability. This research is expected to convey information regarding how to reuse rice waste as an adhesive for briquettes.

Curcumin, which comes from the rhizome Curcuma longa L, is known as the polyphenol with a high level content of natural antioxidants and has benefits on pharmacological activities and human health. The purpose of current study was to investigate the effect of nanocurcumin itself and the combination with exercise on 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), PGC-1α, and mitochondrial protein expression of cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV (COX-IV), in rat gastrocnemius muscle. Animals separated to be non-endurance exercise and endurance exercise group. Curcumin and nanocurcumin with doses 100 mg per kg-body weight per day were given peroral in both groups for 28 days in order to determine the effect of nanocurcumin on mitochondrial markers including AMPK-PGC-1α and COX-IV. Western blotting (WB) method was applied to investigate the protein expression on skeletal muscle. The result showed that nanocurcumin increased mitochondrial marker protein COX-IV on non exercise and exercise groups. Furthermore, our result demonstrated that nanocurcumin treatment combined with exercise increased the phosphorylation of AMPK and PGC-1α. Addition, nanocurcumin treatment alone, without exercise, also increased PGC-1α protein expression. This current result suggests that nanocurcumin could increase mitochondrial biogenesis markers. When it is used together with exercise, it potentially has the additive effect of exercise to increase mitochondrial markers through AMPK-PGC-1α signaling pathway. In conclusion, nanocurcumin treatment combined with exercise potentially increases mitochondrial biogenesis.
Optimal Path Planning using Informed Probabilistic Road Map Algorithm
Authors:   Departemen Teknik Elektro, Universitas Komputer Indonesia, Indonesia, Aria Muhammad
Published: December 2021

This study aims to propose a new path planning algorithm that can guarantee the optimal path solution. The method used is to hybridize the Probabilistic Road Map (PRM) algorithm with the Information Search Algorithm. This hybridization algorithm is called the Informed-PRM algorithm. There are two informed search methods used. The first method is the informed sampling through an ellipsoid subset whose eccentricity is dependent on the length of the shortest current solution that is successfully planned in that iteration. The second method is to use a local search algorithm. The basic PRM algorithm will be run in the first iteration. Since the second iteration, the generation of sample points in the PRM algorithm will be carried out based on information. The informed sampling method will be used to generate 50% of the sampling points. Meanwhile, the remaining number of sample points will be generated using a local search algorithm. Using several benchmark cases, we compared the performance of the Informed-PRM algorithm with the Rapidly Exploring Random Tree* (RRT*) and informed RRT* algorithm. The test results show that the Informed-PRM algorithm successfully constructs the nearly optimal path for all given cases. In producing the path, the time and path cost of the Informed-PRM algorithm is better than the RRT* and Informed RRT* algorithm. The Friedman test was then performed to check for the significant difference in performance between Informed-PRM with RRT* and Informed RRT*. Thus, the Informed-PRM algorithm can be implemented in various systems that require an optimal path planning algorithm, such as in the case of medical robotic surgery or autonomous vehicle systems.

Authors: Ahmed Wasim , Giridhar P. P. , Krishnan Gopee
Published: December 2021

Pictorial stimuli are crucial in psycholinguistic research and clinical practice. The development of culturally and linguistically appropriate, standardized picture corpora is a tedious and meticulous process. Yet, such readily accessible picture sets are useful for researchers and clinicians alike. The current study introduces a novel set of 269 verb pictures for an Indian language – Kannada. The included verbs were selected from a published database of 100,000 words along with their frequency scores in this language, and were subsequently categorized based on an argument structure taxonomy. Each picture is developed based on an exemplar sentence that depicts a scenario rather than a mere action. Norms are provided for verb name and argument agreement, image agreement, concept familiarity, and visual complexity, along with the orthographic frequency. Correlations between these measures are also described. The complete set of pictures are freely downloadable from https://osf.io/uk2af/?view_only=ecffbd92f48546a484c869b3f0b8ec94 for academic, research, and clinical usage in the future.

Polymer nano composites using CuO as filler material and epoxy as matrix materials were prepared with different concentrations of CuO nano particles (1-5 wt%) by shear mixing followed by ultra-sonication process. The mechanical properties such as compressive strength and modulus were characterized using ASTM standards. It was found that the addition of CuO nano particles both compressive strength and modulus increased. As the CuO content increased in epoxy matrix the moduli values found to increase and were further analyzed using micromechanical models. The analytical models discussed correlate well with experimental values. The models discussed include Nicolais – Narkis, Turcsanyi, Piggot – Leidner and Nielsen models for the tensile strength values and for tensile modulus the models discussed include Halpin Tsai, Kerner and Sato – Furukawa models. These micromechanics models predict stiffness of nanocomposites with both aligned and randomly oriented fillers. XRD pattern revealed the interaction between CuO nanoparticles and epoxy matrix. The thermal decomposition behaviour revealed that there is an enhancement of onset of decomposition temperature by 28oC for 5wt% CuO filled epoxy than that of pure epoxy

Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and mostly irradiated by the massive star cluster R136, 30 Doradus is an ideal target to test the leading theory of grain alignment and rotational disruption by RAdiative Torques (RATs). Here, we use publicly available polarized thermal dust emission observations of 30 Doradus at 89, 154, and 214 μm using SOFIA/HAWC+. We analyze the variation of the dust polarization degree (p) with the total emission intensity (I), the dust temperature (T
d), and the gas column density (N
H) constructed from Herschel data. The 30 Doradus complex is divided into two main regions relative to R136, namely North and South. In the North, we find that the polarization degree first decreases and then increases before decreasing again when the dust temperature increases toward the irradiating cluster R136. The first depolarization likely arises from the decrease in grain alignment efficiency toward the dense medium due to the attenuation of the interstellar radiation field and the increase in the gas density. The second trend (the increase of p with T
d) is consistent with the RAT alignment theory. The final trend (the decrease of p with T
d) is consistent with the RAT alignment theory only when the grain rotational disruption by RATs is taken into account. In the South, we find that the polarization degree is nearly independent of the dust temperature, while the grain alignment efficiency is higher around the peak of the gas column density and decreases toward the radiation source. The latter feature is also consistent with the prediction of rotational disruption by RATs.

We study solar wind anomalies and their associations with solar wind structures using the STEREO solar wind and suprathermal electron (STE) data from IMPACT and PLASTIC. We define solar wind anomalies as temporary and local excursions from the average solar wind state, regardless of their origins, for six anomalies: sunward strahls, counterstreaming suprathermal electrons, suprathermal electron depletions, nearly radial magnetic field episodes, anomalously low proton temperatures, and anomalously low proton beta. We first establish the solar wind synoptic contour displays, which show the expected variations in solar wind structure during the solar cycle: recurrent corotating heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) and stream structures are dominant during solar quiet times around the solar minimum (2008 December) preceding cycle 24, while complex structures characterize solar active times around the solar maximum (2014 April). During the declining phase of the cycle (2016–2019), the stream structures remain complex, but the HMF sectors show the structures of the solar minimum. We then systematically study the six anomalies by analyzing the STE data using automated procedures. All anomalies present some degree of dependence on the large-scale solar wind structure, especially around the solar minimum, implying that the solar wind structure plays a role in either the generation or transportation of these anomalies. One common feature of all of the anomalies is that the distributions of the durations of the anomalous episodes all peak at the 1 hr data resolution, but monotonically decrease over longer durations, which may arguably imply that solar anomalies occur on a continuum of temporal and spatial scales.

The observation of very-high-energy (VHE; > 10 GeV) γ-ray emission from γ-ray bursts (GRBs), especially in the prompt phase, will provide critical information for understanding many aspects of their nature including the physical environment, the relativistic bulk motion, the mechanisms of particle acceleration of GRBs, and for studying Lorentz invariance violation, etc. For the afterglow phase, the highest-energy photons detected to date by the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes extend to the TeV regime. However, for the prompt phase, years of efforts in searching for the VHE emission has yielded no statistically significant detections. A wide field of view and large effective area above tens of GeV are essential for detecting the VHE emissions from GRBs in the prompt phase. The High Altitude Detection of Astronomical Radiation (HADAR) experiment has such merits. In this paper, we report the estimates of its expected annual GRB detection rate, which are obtained by combining the performance of the HADAR instrument with the theoretical calculations based on a phenomenological model to generate the pseudo-GRB population. The expected detectable gamma-ray signal from GRBs above the background is then obtained to give the detection rate. In the spectral model, an extra component is assigned to every GRB event in addition to the Band function. The results indicate that if the energy of the cutoff due to internal absorption is higher than 50 GeV, the detection rate for GRBs for the HADAR experiment is approximately two or three GRBs per year, which varies slightly depending upon the characteristics of the extra component.
Revisiting the Post-glitch Relaxation of the 2000 Vela Glitch with the Neutron Star Equation of States in the Brueckner and Relativistic Brueckner Theories
Authors: Shang Xinle , Li Ang
Published: December 2021

We revisit the short-term post-glitch relaxation of the Vela 2000 glitch in the simple two-component model of the pulsar glitch by making use of the latest realistic equations of states from the microscopic Brueckner and the relativistic Brueckner theories for neutron stars, which can reconcile with the available astrophysical constraints. We show that to fit both the glitch size and the post-glitch jumps in frequency derivatives approximately 1 minute after the glitch, the mass of the Vela pulsar is necessarily small, and there may be demands for a stiff equation of state (which results in a typical stellar radius larger than ∼12.5 km) and a strong suppression of the pairing gap in the nuclear medium. We discuss the implications of this result on the understanding of pulsar glitches.

Published: December 2021

We have measured the gas temperature in the IC 63 photodissociation region (PDR) using the S(1) and S(5) pure rotation lines of molecular hydrogen with SOFIA/EXES. We divide the PDR into three regions for analysis based on the illumination from γ Cas: sunny, ridge, and shady. Constructing rotation diagrams for the different regions, we obtain temperatures of T

K in the shady side. The H2 emission was not detected on the sunny side of the ridge, likely due to the photodissociation of H2 in this gas. Our temperature values are lower than the value of T
ex = 685 ± 68 K using the S(1), S(3), and S(5) pure rotation lines, derived by Thi et al. using lower spatial resolution ISO-SWS data at a different location of the IC 63 PDR. This difference indicates that the PDR is inhomogeneous and illustrates the need for high-resolution mapping of such regions to fully understand their physics. The detection of a temperature gradient correlated with the extinction into the cloud, points to the ability of using H2 pure rotational line spectroscopy to map the gas temperature on small scales. We used a PDR model to estimate the FUV radiation and corresponding gas densities in IC 63. Our results shows the capability of SOFIA/EXES to resolve and provide detailed information on the temperature in such regions.
Evaluation of Pre-operative Dermoscopy in Early Diagnosis of Non-melanocytic Skin Cancer

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Dermatoscopy is an integral part of every clinical examination of skin tumors. Dermoscopy has markedly enhances the early diagnosis of non-melanocytic skin cancer (NMSC) compared to naked-eye inspection. Besides its value in the noninvasive diagnosis tool of skin cancer, dermoscopy has also gained increased interest in the response assessment and management of NMSC including basal cell carcinoma, Bowen’s disease, squamous cell carcinoma and merkel cell carcinoma. NMSCs are usually considered a curable disease, however they currently present a growing global healthcare problem due to the increasing incidence, hence this is the reason for my work.

AIM: The main aim of the study is to prove the value of dermoscopy in the precision of pre-operative diagnosis of NMSC confirmed by postoperative histopathology (PH) findings. Additional goals are to declare dermoscopy subtypes of NMSC in according to the age, sex, localization, UV radiation, anatomical region, and phototype of skin.

METHODS: We used two types of dermoscopy, non-polarized, and polarized dermoscopy. Non-polarized dermoscopy uses magnifying lenses and LED illumination light. This method requires contact with pre-liquid (gel, oil, and alcohol) skin to reduce reflection. Non-polarized dermoscopy allows visualization of structures located in the epidermis and dermoepidermal junction, but not below it. Polarized dermoscopy in addition to the magnifying and light lenses, it uses two polarizing filters to enable cross-polarization. This type of method does not require liquid medium on the skin surface and does not require skin contact. Polarized dermoscopy allows visualization of structures located deeper and below the dermoepidermal junction and the superficial dermis.

RESULTS: This paper provides an update on NMSC with special emphasis of dermoscopy in the precision of preoperative diagnosis of NMSC confirmed by postoperative histopathology findings.

CONCLUSION: Our first experiences with pre-operative dermoscopy in 11 patients indicate its value in the diagnosis of NMCS. Our further studies in multiple patients should determine its accuracy in pre-operative diagnosis confirmed by post-operative PH findings.
Risks and opportunities of assisted colonization: the perspectives of experts
Authors: Kracke Irma , Essl Franz , Zulka Klaus Peter , Schindler Stefan
Published: December 2021

Owing to climate change and other anthropogenic environmental changes, the suitability of locations is changing for many biota that consequently have to adapt in situ or to move to other areas. To mitigate the effects of such pressures, assisted colonization is a conservation tool developed to reduce extinction risks by intentionally moving and releasing an organism outside its native range, and thus, to facilitate tracking changing environmental conditions. This conservation tool has been proposed for threatened animals or plants that presumably cannot adapt in situ or follow environmental changes by dispersal or migration. However, there have been contentious debates about the shortcomings and risks of implementing assisted colonization. For this reason, we evaluated the specific opinions of global experts for assisted colonization on potential risks and opportunities that this approach offers. For this purpose, we used an online survey targeted at authors of scientific publications on assisted colonization. The majority (82%) of the 48 respondents were in favor of applying assisted colonization for species that are at risk of global extinction due to anthropogenic environmental change. Most respondents agreed that assisted colonization should be considered only when other conservation tools are not available and that certain preconditions must be met. Some of these were already highlighted in the IUCN guidelines for assisted colonization and include a completed risk assessment, clearly defined management plans and secured political as well as financial support. The advocacy of assisted colonization in response to anthropogenic global environmental changes was only weakly dependent on the geographic origin of the experts and their working background. Regarding possible risks, most of the respondents were concerned about consequences like failure of the long-term establishment of the translocated species and the transmission of diseases and invasiveness potentially endangering native biota. To keep these risks as low as possible most of the experts agreed that a target area must have a reasonable carrying capacity to sustain a minimum viable population and that adaptive management should be implemented. Careful evaluation of assisted colonization projects is required to generate further evidence that needs to be considered for further developing conservation tools for the Anthropocene.
L’héritage, un paradoxe
Authors: Juès Isabelle
Published: December 2021

Se fondant sur son expérience professionnelle, notamment en matière de médiation patrimoniale, l’auteur constate combien la question de la transmission est multidimensionnelle. Que ce soit pour régler une succession, pour l’anticiper ou pour gérer une indivision, le médiateur est confronté aux aspects matériels et psychiques des héritages. Non seulement les conflits apparents autour des maisons, des objets, des souvenirs, des bijoux, de l’argent cachent des luttes de places, des rivalités affectives, des besoins différents ou des deuils décalés, mais surtout, ils donnent lieu à des tensions paradoxales.
