A Design and Implementation of a New Control Based on Petri Nets for Three Phase PWM-Rectifier
Authors: Fekik Arezki , Hamida Mohamed Lamine , Kais Dyhia , Khati Hocine , Bousbaine Amar , Denoun Hakim
Published: July 2023

This article introduces a novel and effective diagram based on direct instantaneous power control (DPC) of a PWM-controlled rectifier connected to the grid without a switching table. An optimum control vector of the PWM rectifier's input voltage, which depends on the switching states determined by a Petri nets controller, is adopted. This approach limits the instantaneous detection errors of reactive and active powers, maintains the DC bus voltage at a reference level, and ensures current close to a sinusoidal wave, guaranteeing operation at a unit power factor. The instantaneous tracking errors of active and reactive powers and the angular position of the voltage are used as input variables for the proposed controller, which then selects the best control vector for the converter based on the transition of a Petri net. The significant advantages of DPC based on Petri nets compared to traditional switching tables are that hysteresis comparators are not required, and the classical regulation of active and reactive powers is achieved in all sectors. Simulation and testing findings demonstrated excellent performance, supporting the viability of the suggested control approach using Petri nets.

Video surveillance plays a crucial role in securing indoor and outdoor locations in today's unreliable world, particularly in real-time applications for behaviour detection, comprehension, and labelling activities as normal or suspicious. For example, in the development of automated video surveillance systems, smart video reconnaissance systems based on picture recognition and activity recognition that detect violent behaviours is basic to forestalling wrongdoings and giving public security. According to the literature, Artificial Intelligent, Machine Learning, and deep portrayal-based approaches have been effectively utilized in image recognition and human activity observation tasks. In this literature review, a 3D convolution neural network based on deep learning is used as the proposed methodology. Thus, this article completed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) in light of intelligent video surveillance to real-time identify abnormal activities from 2016 to 2021. In this current study, 50 research papers were considered and based on the screen filtering, the most suitable 16 papers were filtered based on intelligent video surveillance and real-time abnormal activities. Furthermore, this study identifies potential areas for improvement in intelligent video surveillance systems that can enhance public safety and security, underscoring the importance of ongoing research in this field.

According to the Global Cancer Observatory 2020 report, breast cancer is the top most cancer among females in Sri Lanka. It has been reported that thyroid can receive a significant amount of radiation dose in breast cancer patients who received adjuvant two dimensional (2D) conventional therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the scatter dose received by thyroid region during chest wall radiation in conventional 2d-radiotherapy. 41 breast cancer patients who had adjuvant 2D-conventional radiotherapy were included in this study. All selected patients were treated by TheratronTM 780e cobalt teletherapy at Apeksha Hospital, Maharagama, Sri Lanka. Polimaster PM1610 dosimeter was used to measure the scatter dose. A statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS. The mean values for the total scatter dose from the glancing fields and the SCF (supraclavicular fossa) field were 112.33 5.50 mSv and 421.79 32.49 mSv respectively. The mean value of the total scatter dose was 534.10 34.11 mSv. Moreover, 78.97% of the scatter dose was received by the SCF field while 11.36% and 9.66% were received by medial and lateral glancing fields. A considerable amount of radiation has been received by the thyroid region among breast cancer patients who received chest wall irradiation with SCF irradiation. In order to reinforce the conclusion, further studies need to be performed with accurate dose measurement especially with Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD).

CTL differentiation is controlled by the crosstalk of various transcription factors and epigenetic modulators. Uncovering this process is fundamental to improving immunotherapy and designing novel therapeutic approaches. In this study, we show that polycomb repressive complex 1 subunit chromobox (Cbx)4 favors effector CTL differentiation in a murine model. Cbx4 deficiency in CTLs induced a transcriptional signature of memory cells and increased the memory CTL population during acute viral infection. It has previously been shown that besides binding to H3K27me3 through its chromodomain, Cbx4 functions as a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) E3 ligase in a SUMO-interacting motifs (SIM)-dependent way. Overexpression of Cbx4 mutants in distinct domains showed that this protein regulates CTL differentiation primarily in an SIM-dependent way and partially through its chromodomain. Our data suggest a novel role of a polycomb group protein Cbx4 controlling CTL differentiation and indicated SUMOylation as a key molecular mechanism connected to chromatin modification in this process.

Authors: Keshani Forooz , Mahmoodi Alireza , Gholami Masood , Azmoudeh Faezeh
Published: July 2023

Background:

Recently, the role of biochemical factors in the etiology of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has attracted some attention. Serum levels of biochemical factors may change in cancer patients. This study aimed to assess the serum level of folate, Vitamin B12, homocysteine, iron, copper, and selenium in patients with OSCC.

Materials and Methods:

This descriptive analytical study was conducted on 30 primary OSCC patients (15 males and 15 females) presenting to Imam Khomeini Cancer Institute, who had not yet undergone treatment. Blood samples were taken and serum levels of folate, Vitamin B12, homocysteine, iron, copper, and selenium were measured. Serum levels of micronutrients in patients with different tumor sizes were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Serum levels of micronutrients were compared among groups with and without metastasis and lymph node involvement using Student's t-test (P < 0.05).

Results:

Serum levels of B12, folic acid, homocysteine, copper, iron, and selenium were 232.5 ± 102.68, 8.66 ± 4.06, 18.87 ± 8.81, 96.0 ± 22.64, 55.27 ± 40.58, and 92.47 ± 18.83 ng/mL, respectively. Relatively similar values were measured in patients with different tumor sizes with and without lymph node involvement and presence or absence distant metastasis. However, the serum level of folic acid in OSCC patients without lymph node involvement was significantly higher than that in OSCC patients with lymph node involvement (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Despite some variations, serum levels of micronutrients in OSCC patients were within the normal limits. Considering the variations in serum level of copper in OSCC patients, it may be used as a diagnostic marker. However, further studies are warranted in this respect.

Published: July 2023

Background:

Porcelain fracture or chipping is one of the limitations of all ceramic restorations. This study investigated the shear bond strength (SBS) of composite resins to lithium disilicate ceramics using universal bondings and different methods of surface preparation.

Materials and Methods:

In this experimental study, 72 specimens of e.max computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic blocks were divided into six groups of 12 according to surface treatment: Group I-Hydrofluoric (HF) acid etching + All-Bond Universal bonding (ABU), Group II-Bur roughening (BR) + HF + ABU, Group III-BR + HF + Bis-Silane (Si) + ABU, Group IV-Sandblasting (SB) + ABU, Group V-SB + HF + ABU, Group VI-SB + HF + Si + ABU. After bonding of composite resin to the prepared ceramic surface and storage of samples in distilled water for 24 h, SBS test was done using the universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Data were analyzed using the analysis of variance and Tukey's post hoc test (α = 0.05).

Results:

The mean values of SBS in six studied groups were 6.65 ± 2.78 MPa, 8.56 ± 2.69 MPa, 8.49 ± 2.14 MPa, 3.13 ± 1.66 MPa, 7.94 ± 2.4 MPa, and 10.04 ± 2.47 MPa, respectively. The mean values of SBS were significantly different (P < 0.001). The highest value of SBS was observed in Group VI and the lowest in Group IV.

Conclusion:

Ceramic sandblasting followed by HF etching, Bis Si, and ABU resulted in a higher SBS of composite resins to lithium disilicate ceramics.

Published: July 2023

Background:

Sexual desire and sexual activity are natural needs of human beings, which can be problematic and lead to various sexual disorders, if not used in the right way, including hypersexuality. The present study aimed to compare the effect of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and aripiprazole drug on marital instability in patients with hypersexuality.

Materials and Methods:

This experimental case--control Pretest--Posttest Control Group Design with follow up was done on 27 male and female patients with hypersexuality having at least a higher education degree selected from four hospitals and psychiatric centers including Khorshid Hospital, Asgariyeh Specialized Hospital, Farhangian Clinic and Imam Reza Medical Center in Isfahan and were randomly assigned to two groups of treatment (nine patients in every group) and one group of control (nine patients) after adjusting the age and gender. Pretest phase was done for both three groups using Marital Instability Index (MII). The first treatment group underwent DBT intervention for eight sessions of 2 hours (once a week), and the second experimental group was prescribed aripiprazole for 2 months. Afterwards, the posttest and follow-up were performed for all the three groups. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24 and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).

Results:

The findings showed that DBT and aripiprazole had little effect on the problem of marital instability in patients with hypersexuality (p > 0.05); also, there was no significant difference between the effect of DBT and aripiprazole (p > 0.05).

Conclusion:

DBT and the drug aripiprazole cannot have a significant effect on the marital instability in patients.

Published: July 2023

Given the increasing incidence of yeast infections and the presence of drug-resistant isolates, accurate identification of the pathogenic yeasts is essential for the management of yeast infections. In this review, we tried to introduce the routine and novel techniques applied for yeast identification. Laboratory identification methods of pathogenic yeast are classified into three categories; I. conventional methods, including microscopical and culture-base methods II. biochemical/physiological-processes methods III. molecular methods. While conventional and biochemical methods require more precautions and are not specific in some cases, molecular diagnostic methods are the optimum tools for diagnosing pathogenic yeasts in a short time with high accuracy and specificity, and having various methods that cover different purposes, and affordable costs for researchers. Nucleotide sequencing is a reference or gold standard for identifying pathogenic yeasts. Since it is an expensive method, it is not widely used in developing countries. However, novel identification techniques are constantly updated, and we recommend further studies in this field. The results of this study will guide researchers in finding more accurate diagnostic method(s) for their studies in a short period of time.
Energy harvesting for devices in wireless sensor networks: A Review
Authors: Nguyen Minh , Nguyen Cuong , Tran Hoang , Nguyen Hoa
Published: July 2023

Recent years have witnessed several technological breakthroughs in wireless sensor networks (WSN), yet energy continues to be an indispensable resource despite these advancements. The amount of energy that is available in a WSN has a direct bearing on how well it functions, how well it performs, and how long it will continue to operate. Because of the limitations imposed on them by cost and size, sensor nodes almost always come outfitted with a constrained amount of energy. As a direct consequence of this, their batteries will need to be replaced at regular intervals. However, the replacement is only sometimes a viable alternative; in fact, there are some situations in which it is unlikely to be achievable and entirely improbable. Because of this, there is an urgent need for more feasible solutions, which include energy harvesting or wireless energy transfer, as well as the creation of power at the sensor nodes themselves or their delivery of power to them. These options are among the options that are now available. This study intends to accomplish the following three primary goals: In the first step of this process, we will investigate prospective renewable energy resources and information on their qualities and uses in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Second, this study examines various methods for charging batteries and the various ways each of these methods might be applied to wireless sensor networks (WSN).

Jet spaces over

have been shown to have a canonical structure of stratified Lie groups (also known as Carnot groups). We construct jet spaces over stratified Lie groups adapted to horizontal differentiation and show that these jet spaces are themselves stratified Lie groups. Furthermore, we show that these jet spaces support a prolongation theory for contact maps, and in particular, a Bäcklund type theorem holds. A byproduct of these results is an embedding theorem that shows that every stratified Lie group of step

Acute pancreatitis (AP) often leads to a high incidence of cardiac injury, posing significant challenges in the treatment of severe AP and contributing to increased mortality rates. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) release bioactive molecules that participate in various inflammatory diseases. Similarly, extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by MSCs have garnered extensive attention due to their comparable anti-inflammatory effects to MSCs and their potential to avoid risks associated with cell transplantation. Recently, the therapeutic potential of MSCs-EVs in various inflammatory diseases, including sepsis and AP, has gained increasing recognition. Although preclinical research on the utilization of MSCs-EVs in AP-induced cardiac injury is limited, several studies have demonstrated the positive effects of MSCs-EVs in regulating inflammation and immunity in sepsis-induced cardiac injury and cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, clinical studies have been conducted on the therapeutic application of MSCs-EVs for some other diseases, wherein the contents of these EVs could be deliberately modified through prior modulation of MSCs. Consequently, we hypothesize that MSCs-EVs hold promise as a potential therapy for AP-induced cardiac injury. This paper aims to discuss this topic. However, additional research is essential to comprehensively elucidate the underlying mechanisms of MSCs-EVs in treating AP-induced cardiac injury, as well as to ascertain their safety and efficacy.

Published: July 2023

Esophageal cancer, also referred to as esophagus cancer, is a prevalent disease in the cardiothoracic field and is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in China. Accurately determining the status of lymph nodes is crucial for developing treatment plans, defining the scope of intraoperative lymph node dissection, and ascertaining the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer. Recent advances in diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have improved the effectiveness of MRI for assessing lymph node involvement, making it a beneficial tool for guiding personalized treatment plans for patients with esophageal cancer in a clinical setting. Radiomics is a recently developed imaging technique that transforms radiological image data from regions of interest into high-dimensional feature data that can be analyzed. The features, such as shape, texture, and waveform, are associated with the cancer phenotype and tumor microenvironment. When these features correlate with the clinical disease outcomes, they form the basis for specific and reliable clinical evidence. This study aimed to review the potential clinical applications of MRI-based radiomics in studying the lymph nodes affected by esophageal cancer. The combination of MRI and radiomics is a powerful tool for diagnosing and treating esophageal cancer, enabling a more personalized and effectual approach.

Part of enterprises that were active during the time of Polish People’s Republic was fulfilling the role of an industrial art patrons, sponsoring and organising different types of artistic projects. The factories were however first and foremost obliged to fulfil the national industrial plans and their production norms, both of which could be impeded by their cultural and artistic activities. In this article the author poses a following question: why was it that the enterprises were sponsoring artistic events and how were they benefitting from it? To provide an answer, the author focused on three events under the industrial patronage – Biennale of Spatial Forms in Elbląg, 1st Symposium of Fine Artists and Scientists in Puławy as well as 1st Biennale of Metal Sculptures in Warsaw – and conducted an analysis of scientific and specialist literature on their topic. On this basis, the author drew the conclusion that the advantages related to the patronage had mostly a social character and resulted from building positive relations with the authorities, local communities and employees.

Lost Minutes of the Sittings of the Sub-commission on the Law on Kinship and Care Relationships of the Codification Commission of the Republic of Poland in 1939 (Part III)

When Poland regained independence in 1918, the different legal systems of the various partitioning states all remained in force on its territory. Drafts of uniform laws were to be drawn up by the Codification Commission established in 1919. One of its tasks was the preparation of a draft of the family and guardianship law. The sub-commission addressing this division of civil law worked until the outbreak of World War Two. The minutes of its sittings disappeared in September 1939 along with the total output of the Codification Commission. However, copies of minutes of the sittings of the subcommission held in 1939 were found in Kazimierz Przybyłowski’s collection of books donated to the Faculty of Law and Administration of University of Silesia in Katowice. These minutes shed new light on the final phase of the codification works. Publication of these documents will enable further detailed research on the history of family law in interwar Poland. The third part of the publication consists of minutes nos. 190–196.

Concept of Liability, Legal Liability, and Budgetary Responsibility
Authors: Pařízková Ivana
Published: July 2023

Responsibility is a concept used in common communication but also as a technical term, especially in the legal sciences, but also in psychology, ethics and sociology, philosophy, and theology. In many languages, the etymology of the term is based on the Latin respondeo, which means answering someone, giving an account, or simply giving an answer to a question. In law, responsibility is understood as the necessity to bear the consequences foreseen by law for the actions of the responsible entity or for the result attributed to the responsible entity. And at the same time, we can also state that legal responsibility is a legal relationship in which a secondary obligation arises for the responsible subject by violating his primary obligation.

Modelling Initial Geometric Imperfections of Steel Plane Frames Using Entropy and Eigenmodes
Authors: Kala Zdeněk
Published: July 2023

The article introduces an innovative approach to modelling initial geometric imperfections in steel plane frames. Initial imperfections are introduced using the analysis of normalised deformations of elastic buckling modes. The scale of these modes is assessed by applying Shannon entropy and potential energy analysis. The presented case study demonstrates a decreasing scale of the elastic buckling modes. The entropy computed from the deformation reveals a new perspective on buckling modes and provides a more profound understanding of steel frame behaviour. The case study results indicate that anti-symmetric buckling modes exhibit higher entropy than symmetric buckling modes. This entropy-based analysis enables the differentiation between symmetric and anti-symmetric buckling modes, which is particularly valuable when the critical buckling loads of sway and non-sway buckling modes are closely aligned or overlap.
Electrochemical and Microstructural Characterization of Cr-Coated NdFeB in Neutral Wet Environment
Authors: Abanihi Vincent , Adama Kenneth , Onyeachu Ikenna
Published: July 2023

Naturally, NdFeB–based permanent magnets exhibit high chemical instability, especially, in wet environments. This makes them highly susceptible to corrosion, which leads to severe structural collapse. Applying thin surface coatings can improve the resistance to wet corrosion. In this work, 0.5 µm of chromium (Cr) film was sputtered on a sintered NdFeB–based magnet and the resistance to corrosion and microstructural damage was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution with respect to an uncoated magnet. This was achieved by complementing potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Cr coating caused a positive displacement of corrosion potential and lowered the rate of anodic dissolution. It also favored higher charge transfer resistance at the magnet–solution interface, and delivers a protection efficiency of ~ 60 %. Furthermore, grain boundary attack and deterioration were also significantly reduced by the Cr coating.

Indonesia is known to be one of Southeast Asia’s largest markets for used cars. Used car showrooms in Indonesia are numerous and varied, some focus on one car brand, some focus on the lower middle class, some focus on the upper middle class, and some provide all types of cars. One of them is PQR Showroom, Even though PQR Showroom was able to generate such a great amount of sales, the profits generated by the PQR showroom are not proportional to the amount of capital invested. To increase the profit, we proposed the solution using descriptive analytics and prescriptive analytics using K-Means. We also carry out simulations by comparing sales in existing years with the results of the descriptive and prescriptive analytics that have been made for the expected profit. The results show that the simulation comparison with the data we have obtained from descriptive and prescriptive analysis gives the best-expected profit compared to the initial sales results at the PQR Showroom. It shows that the data using descriptive and K-Means is great than before. The fastest cars that have been sold is LCGC and the most wanted car is MPY Toyota Avanza and the best profit that can generate is SUV Toyota Fortuner.
