On the Performance of Cooperative Non-orthogonal Multiple Access With Energy Harvesting Over Nakagami-m Fading Channels
Authors: Guo Weidong , Sun Lin 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the performance of a full-duplex (FD) cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) model in multi-relay multiuser networks. In contrast to conventional cooperative networks, relays in the considered network have no embedded energy supply, but they can harvest energy from the radio-frequency signals broadcasted by the source to facilitate the cooperative NOMA transmission. Based on this structure, we propose a novel relay selection scheme in Nakagami-m fading channels by considering both the channel state information (CSI) and the battery statuses of relays. Assuming each relay has finite energy storage for the energy accumulation, we adpot a finite Markov chain to capture the evolution of relay batteries and simplify the performance analysis by making some reasonable assumptions. General closed-form expressions of the outage probability and the ergodic sum-rate are derived. All the theoretical results are validated by Monte-Carlo simulations. The impacts of various system parameters, such as the number of relays and the self-interference (SI) at the involved relay, on the performance are extensively investigated. It is shown that the FD relaying achieves better performance in the moderate and high SNR regions and the usage of NOMA with FD relaying outperforms the conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) network in terms of terminal fairness.
AQR Plays a Key Role in Splicing Fidelity in Higher Organisms
Authors: Li Meng 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
BackgroundThe structures of the spliceosome have been resolved in different complexes, but the functions of spliceosome components in splicing fidelity are largely unclear. A few proteins, such as SLU7 and EJC, are known to have roles in splicing fidelity.ResultsIn this work, through a systematic analysis of the cryptic splice sites in humans, mice and fruit flies using shRNA-seq and siRNA-seq datasets, I ranked the importance of different proteins in splicing fidelity. The important proteins include IBC, EJC, SLU7, Prp22 and other splicing-related factors, especially AQR, whose knockdown induced the highest number of cryptic splice sites in K562, N2A, and CGR8, suggesting its central role in splicing fidelity in higher organisms. The metaprofiles of the cryptic splice sites for AQR and Prp17 further indicate that cryptic 3' splice sites can induce cryptic exons, which then contribute to cryptic 5' splice site generation.ConclusionsI analyzed siRNA-seq/shRNA-seq from a new angle. I found that AQR knockdown induced the highest number of cryptic 5' and 3' splice sites in three cell lines and that RBP knockdown mainly induced cryptic 3' splice sites, which then induced cryptic 5' splice sites.

Abstract
Background: Myanmar cattle populations predominantly consist of native cattle breeds, characterized by their geographical location and coat color, and the Holstein-Friesian crossbreed, which is highly adapted to the harsh tropical climates of this region. Here, we analyzed the diversity and genetic structure of the BoLA-DRB3 gene, a genetic locus that has been linked to the immune response, in Myanmar cattle populations.Methods: Blood samples (n=294) were taken from two native breeds (Pyer Sein, n=163 and Shwe Ni, n=69) and a cattle crossbreed (Holstein-Friesian, n=62) distributed across six regions of Myanmar (Bago, n=38; Sagaing, n=77; Mandalay, n=46; Magway, n=46; Kayin, n=43; Yangon, n=44). DNA was genotyped using the sequence-based typing method. DNA electropherograms were analyzed using the Assign 400ATF software. Results: We detected 71 distinct alleles, including three new variants for the BoLA-DRB3 gene. Venn analysis showed that 11 of these alleles were only detected in Myanmar native breeds and 26 were only shared with Asian native and/or Zebu groups. The number of alleles ranged from 33 in Holstein-Friesians to 58 in Pyer Seins, and the observed versus unbiased expected heterozygosity were higher than 0.84 in all the three the populations analyzed. The FST analysis showed a low level of genetic differentiation between the two Myanmar native breeds (FST=0.003), and between these native breeds and the Holstein-Friesians (FST < 0.021). The average FST value for all the Myanmar Holstein-Friesian crossbred and Myanmar native populations was 0.0136 and 0.0121, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA) and tree analysis showed that Myanmar native populations grouped in a narrow cluster that diverged clearly from the Holstein-Friesian populations. Furthermore, the BoLA-DRB3 allele frequencies suggested that while some Myanmar native populations (Bago, Mandalay and Yangon) were more closely related to Zebu breeds (Gir and Brahman), others (Kayin, Magway and Sagaing) were more related to the native breeds found in the Philippines. On the contrary, the Holstein-Friesian populations demonstrated a high degree of dispersion, which is likely the result of the different degrees of native admixture in these populations. Conclusion: These results contribute to our understanding of the genetic diversity and distribution of BoLA-DRB3 gene alleles in Myanmar.

Published: March 2020

Abstract
Background : Since whole slide images (WSIs) are widely used in clinical diagnosis, assessing the quality of these images has generated considerable interest. We divided the evaluation process into different sections focusing on specific issues and developed an approach based on computer technology to assess the quality of WSIs and provide details corresponding to specific issues.Methods : We focused on three issues in this work: position deviation, cover slip misplacement and wrong focus. Our approach revolves around these issues. We collected two datasets from Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital to develop the approach, discovered three issues and provided details corresponding to these issues.Results : We designed experiments based on two datasets to validate the effectiveness of the approach. The experiments show that using our approach, existing issues can be discovered and corresponding details are provided at a high accuracy. In the training set, the accuracy of the discovered three issues reaches 0.998, 0.987 and 0.988. In the validation set, the accuracy of discovering all issues reaches 0.914.Conclusions : We proposed an approach focusing on the following specific image issues: position deviation, cover slip misplacement and wrong focus. Using this approach, issues were discovered with high accuracy, and reports were produced that provide details regarding existing issues discovered by our approach. However, a dataset of WSIs with more issues, including stain concentration and poor microtomy, should be established, and methods discovering these issues must be developed in the future.

Abstract

Background Wharton’s jelly is a well-known mesenchymal stem cell source in many species, including human. However, there have been no reports confirming the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in wharton’s jelly in cats. The purpose of this study was to isolate mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from wharton’s jelly of cats and to characterize stem cells. Result In this study, Feline wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (fWJ-MSCs) were isolated and successfully cultured. fWJ-MSCs were maintained and the proliferative potential was measured by cumulative population doubling level (CPDL) test, scratch test and colony forming unit (CFU) test. Stem cell marker, karyotyping and immunophenotyping analysis by flow cytometry showed that fWJ-MSCs possessed characteristic mesenchymal stem cell markers. To confirm the differentiation potential, we performed osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic induction under each differentiation condition. fWJ-MSC has the ability to differentiate into multiple lineages including osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. Conclusions This study shows that wharton’s jelly of cat can be a good source of mesenchymal stem cells. In addition, fWJ-MSC may be useful for stem cell-based therapeutic applications in feline medicine.

Published: March 2020

As desistências no ensino superior variam de acordo com a área de conhecimento, região, perspectivas de mercado, tipos de processos seletivos, problemas financeiros e formação sólida no ensino médio. Devido ao alto percentual de evasão do curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Agrária, esse trabalho tem como objetivo verificar os motivos que elevaram essa taxa para 75% de desistência durante o curso. A metodologia para a criação deste trabalho se deu através da interação da pesquisa documental e de campo. A pesquisa documental foi realizada em artigos, materiais de congressos, seminários, revistas, sites e plataformas idôneas. Para a pesquisa de campo foi realizada entrevistas com perguntas abertas, de forma individual e gravada a fim de saber a opinião dos professores e universitários que continuam e que evadiram do curso, sobre possíveis causas para a evasão. Os motivos relatados nas entrevistas foram diversos, entre os mais mencionados a falta de reconhecimento e divulgação e afinidade com o curso, falta de interesse da instituição e dos professores com o curso. A forma como se criou do curso afetou diretamente todos os envolvidos. Deste modo, faz-se necessário um planejamento elaborado de forma eficaz, para a abertura de novos cursos, para que a Universidade possa ofertar cursos de qualidade com a satisfação de tosos os envolvidos, professores, alunos e funcionários e desta forma a evasão será apenas por falta de afinidade ou por problemas pessoais.
Neuropharmacological Characterization of Dioclea altissima Seed Lectin (DAL) in Mice: Evidence of Anxiolytic-like Effect Mediated by Serotonergic, GABAergic Receptors and NO Pathway

Published: March 2020

Background:
Plant lectins have shown promising biological activities in the central nervous system
(CNS).

Objective:
This study evaluated the effect of DAL, a lectin isolated from the seeds of the Dioclea altissima species,
having binding affinity to D-glucose or D-mannose residues, on mice behavior.

Methods:
Mice (n=6/group) were treated (i.p.) with DAL (0.25, 0.5 or 1 mg/kg) or vehicle and subjected to several
tests (open field/OFT, marble-burying/MBT, hole-board/HBT, elevated plus maze/PMT, tail suspension/
TST, forced swimming/FST or rotarod/RRT). Pizotifen, cyproheptadine, flumazenil, L-NAME, 7-NI, Larginine
or yohimbine were administered 15 min before DAL (0.5 mg/kg) and the animals were evaluated on
PMT. It was also verified whether the DAL effect depended on its structural integrity and ability to interact with
carbohydrates.

Results:
The results showed there were no neurobehavioral changes in the mice at the RRT, FST and locomotion
in the OFT. DAL (0.25, 0.5 or 1 mg/kg) increased the behavior of grooming and rearing in the OFT, head dips in
the HBT, pedalling in the TST and decreased the number of marbles hidden in the MBT. In the PMT, DAL (0.25,
0.5 and 1 mg/kg) and Diazepam increased the frequency of entries in the open arms and the time of permanence
in the open arms without affecting the locomotor activity. The effect of DAL was dependent on carbohydrate
interaction and protein structure integrity and it prevented by pizotifen, cyproheptadine, flumazenil, L-NAME and
7-NI, but not by L-arginine or yohimbine.

Conclusion:
DAL was found to have an anxiolytic-like effect mediated by the 5-HT and GABAergic receptors
and NO pathway.
Exploring and Leveraging Known Resources to Support Pediatric Clinical Outcomes Assessment (COA) Development
Authors: Krohe Meaghan , Lamoureux Roger , Banderas Christine , Turner-Bowker Diane M. 
Published: March 2020

Background:
Best practices for pediatric clinical outcomes assessment (COA) development
rely on guidelines that have been developed for adult populations. While some useful resources
are available to support pediatric COA development, this information has primarily come
from within the measurement development field. To our knowledge, no research has explored the
experiences of professionals from other disciplines who interact with children on a routine basis.

Aim and Objective:
The goal of this research was to explore the experiences of professionals
from outside of the measurement science field, who work closely with children every day, in settings
relevant to the context of concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing interviews for pediatric
COA development. The objectives were to 1) learn new ways to engage children in conversations
regarding their health state; 2) understand how methods used in other disciplines can be used to
improve the amount and quality of data emerging from pediatric qualitative interviews; and 3) generate
a list of references to support pediatric COA development.

Methods:
Individual, one-to-one expert advice meetings were conducted over the phone or in person
and lasted approximately 60 minutes in duration. One child life specialist, one speech/language
pathologist, and three reading specialists were consulted, given their role in evaluating children’s
comprehensive abilities as well as their daily interactions with children. Two experienced COA researchers
conducted the expert advice meetings using a semi-structured interview guide to provide
a framework for discussion.

Results:
These experts reported that factors such as interview setting, time taken to build rapport
with the child, the child’s comfort level, presence or absence of caregiver during the interview, the
child’s communication style, disease-related factors, and the child’s developmental age may influence
the amount and type of information that is possible to elicit during qualitative interviews. Several
of these factors are also important for cognitive debriefing interviews. In addition, experts provided
input that may improve the debriefing procedure, such as having the child read the text aloud
in small increments, re-read text, and highlight text that they do not understand. Best practice tips
from the experts were consolidated into a set of references for use by those conducting pediatric
COA development research.

Conclusions:
Incorporating interdisciplinary perspectives into pediatric COA development may improve
both the methods used to elicit information from children and the quality of the resulting
questionnaires.
Effect of Chamomile Oil on Cesarean Section Pain in Primiparous Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Zardosht Roghayeh , Basiri Ameneh , Sahebkar Amirhossein , Emami Seyed A. 
Published: March 2020

Background:
Pain after cesarean section can turn the pleasant event of childbirth into an
unpleasant experience for the mother. Pain relief through non-pharmaceutical methods, such as
aromatherapy, could potentially be a useful intervention. In this study, the analgesic effect of
chamomile oil was studied.

Purpose:
The current research was conducted to study the effect of chamomile oil on cesarean section
pain in primiparous women.

Materials and Methods:
This was a randomized, double-blind clinical trial wherein 128 primiparous
pregnant women (who willingly selected cesarean section) took part. In the aromatherapy
group, the subjects inhaled one drop of 5% chamomile oil, and in the control group, the subjects
inhaled one placebo drop. In both groups, the subjects inhaled for 15-20 minutes at a distance of 5
cm from the nose at 4, 8, and 12 hours after surgery, and pain intensity was measured half an hour
before and after inhalation using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). For data analysis, the software
SPSS (version 25) and descriptive statistics (frequency, frequency percentage, mean, and standard
deviation) were used. In order to determine the significance, inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney,
Wilcoxon, independent t-test, and Chi-square) were used.

Findings:
Data indicated that the intervention and placebo groups were homogeneous in terms of
demographic variables. The average weights and heights of women in the intervention group were
86/5± 5/9 and 163/7 ±5/1, respectively. Corresponding values for women in the control group were
84/5± 5/7 kg and 163/4± 5/8 cm.

:
The finding of the current research indicates that the intervention and placebo groups showed no
significant statistical difference in terms of baseline pain before intervention (p=0.08), while the
difference between the two groups was significant in terms of pain, 4, 8, and 12 hours after the intervention
(p<0.01). Therefore, inhalation of chamomile oil reduced pain intensity significantly
compared to post-intervention.

Conclusion:
According to the results of the present study, inhalation of chamomile oil following
the cesarean sectionin primiparous women reduced pain and also the need for analgesics. Therefore,
the use of aromatherapy with chamomile oil as a simple way without any side effects for the reduction
of pain in mothers after the cesarean section is recommended.
Формы и построения в архитектуре советского авангарда и их интерпретация в современной зарубежной практике
Authors: Ermolenko Elena 
Published: March 2020

К концу ХХ века на Западе стремительно нарастал интерес к Русскому авангарду. Многие исследователи – К. Кук, А. Копп, В. Квиличчи и другие – посвящают свои труды исследованию творчества советских мастеров. В Германии, Италии, Америки издаются каталоги работ, проводятся выставки. Крупнейшие западные архитекторы, З. Хадид, Р. Кулхас, С. Холл, Т. Мейн, Д. Фишер, начинают говорить о Советском авангарде как об удивительном культурном феномене, во многом повлиявшем на развитие современной архитектуры, а также на формирование их творческого пути.
В статье рассмотрены некоторые формы и приемы построения, впервые введенные в архитектуру мастерами Советского авангарда и получившие «новую жизнь» в современной западной практике. На основе сравнительного анализа проектов и изучения высказываний крупнейших современных зодчих, определена преемственность связей между архитектурными формами эпохи авангарда и новейшими проектами. Выделены некоторые «темы», интерпретация которых сегодня встречается наиболее часто. Так, широкое распространение получили различные вариации на тему горизонтального небоскреба Э. Лисицкого. Простые геометрические формы, часто встречаемые в проектах И. Леонидова, сегодня присутствуют в работах К. Танге, Р. Колхаса, С. Бана, А. Смита, Б. Ингельса и др. Диагональные построения, излюбленный прием К. Мельникова, лег в основу работ архитекторов-деконструктивистов, З. Хадид, Д. Либескинда.
Обращение мастеров современности к самым истокам архитектуры ХХ века позволяет говорить об уникальности феномена Советского авангарда – многие из моделей стали, в буквальном смысле, пророческими. Совершенно неоцененные в момент своего появления и забытые на долгие годы в отечественном зодчестве, эти архитектурные формы и построения продолжают жить сегодня в самых интересных и современных интерпретациях.

This study aims to reveal the position of women climbers in the student association for Environmental and adventure activity of MAPALA Marabunta of Panca Marga University of Probolinggo. This study was conducted by using the method of descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interview, and documentation. The results showed that in mountain climbing activities made by women climbers there is no difference between male and female climbers. This is in a manner conforming to representation view. Women climbers already have the ability and skills to Mountain climbing. The women climber is also equivalent to male climbers in general. So there are no points or ways in which male and female climbers are dissimilar. What distinguishes only their will, whether they want to practice and learn, if they want to practice and learn and take the opportunity already given, it will happen what is on want that is equality.
