Abstract

Chemical reactions in microscale require good mixing at a relatively low flowrate. However, mixing in microscale faces the major challenge of stable laminar flow associated with the low Reynolds number, the relative ratio between inertial force and viscous force. For low Reynolds numbers of less than unity, mixing occurs due to molecular diffusion. For high Reynolds number of more than several tens, chaotic advection enhances mixing. However, in the intermediate regime, mixing is not efficient. This paper reports a stretchable micromixer with dynamically tuneable channel dimensions. Periodically stretching the device changes the channel geometry and the curvature induced secondary Dean flows. The dynamically evolving secondary and main flows in the mixing channel result in chaotic advection and enhance mixing. The concept was demonstrated in a stretchable micromixer with a serpentine channel. We evaluated the performance of this stretchable micromixer both experimentally and numerically. At the intermediate range of Reynolds numbers from 4 to 17, the periodically stretched micromixer showed a better mixing efficiency than the non-stretched counterpart. Therefore, our stretchable micromixer is a potential candidate for applications where precious reagents need to be mixed at relatively low flow rate conditions.
Calculation of large-span glulam structures as a soil base-foundation-above-ground structure system

Published: September 2021

The object of research. Long-span glulam arches are widely used as coatings for public and sports buildings. The studies carried out concern double-hinged segmental arches with spans of 60 m and more.
Description of the problem. The study of the peculiarities of the work of arches as a system "soil base - foundation - above-ground structure" is associated with the significant influence of uneven deformations of supports on the stress-strain state of the above-ground structure. A change in the stress-strain state in the structure itself, associated with uneven deformations of the foundations, can lead to a significant decrease up to the complete exhaustion of the bearing capacity
Main scientific results. This article provides an analysis of the change in the stress-strain state of glulam arches when calculating the system "soil base-foundation-above-ground structure". It is noted that non-uniform deformations of supports have the greatest influence on the stress in the support zones of the structure. The range of critical non-uniform subsidence has been determined, which should be limited when calculating and designing the foundations of large-span arches. It has been confirmed that double-hinged glulam arches work well in conditions of uneven subsidence due to the peculiarities of the design scheme.
The results of the studies carried out and the recommendations provided will significantly improve the reliability of large-span structures and require mandatory inclusion in the current practice of calculation and design. In addition, additional requirements for the distance between mine workings for large-span structures should be introduced when performing engineering and geological surveys. This distance should be reduced for a clearer account of the deformability of the foundations for columnar foundations, and the number of workings should be increased.
The area of practical use of the research results. The cross-section of the glulam arches is selected taking into account additional deformations of the supports, making it possible to avoid unpredictable damage to the structure during operation.
Innovative technological product. Glulam arches, the cross-section of which is determined taking into account additional deformations from uneven subsidence of the supports
Scope of application. Glulam arches calculated in this way can be used as covering for public and sports buildings for various purposes.

Abstract
Irrigation water management in the paddy cultivation area under the left bank canal of the Kaudulla reservoir (Kaudulla tank) in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka has become a serious issue due to limited water availability and inefficient water distribution infrastructure at present. Insufficient storage capacities of the village tanks in the cultivation area, low rainfall during some months and regulated inflow from the transbasin diversion to Kaudulla tank have had a significant impact on yield in the two cultivation seasons of the year. In this article, modernization of irrigation infrastructure in the command area was investigated for effective utilization of limited available water. The results of the calibrated and validated Hydrologic Engineering Centre - Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) model and Crop Water and Irrigation Requirements Program (CROPWAT) model were used with Water Evaluation and Planning Model (WEAP) to evaluate the water balance and demand to identify the best investment for improving irrigation water supply to maximize the return. Economic analysis was carried out using the net present values for different modernization options. Accordingly, the construction of a new canal system and augmentation of the capacities of village tanks from the present total capacity of 3.8–20 MCM was found to be the most appropriate option. This intervention will increase the income from yield by 205 million with a payback period of 12 years in the Yala season.

Background:Diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) have been recognized as reemerging epidemics, especially in developing countries. Among all the risk factors, diabetes causes immunosuppression, increasing the risk of active TB three times. Vitamin D has been found as a link between DM-TB co-morbidity.Objective:Vitamin D affects the immune response, suppresses Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) growth, and affects insulin secretion. The present systematic review determines the effect of vitamin D supplementation on clinical and therapeutic outcomes of DM-TB patients.Method:A comprehensive literature search was carried out in PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus database to determine eligible studies from inception to January 2021. Out of the 639 articles retrieved, three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in the systematic review.Result:The effect of vitamin D3 or oral cholecalciferol supplementation was assessed on outcomes, such as duration to sputum smear conversion, TB scores improvement, change in glycemic parameters, including HbA1c, FBS, and PLBS, and laboratory parameters, such as Hb, ESR, and CRP. Duration of sputum smear conversion was decreased by two weeks in the vitamin D3 supplemented group in two studies. TB score improvement and changes in glycemic parameters were inclined towards supplemented group; however, they were not significant.Conclusion:The overall effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on TB patients with DM was not significant. Further studies are required in the future examining the effect of supplementation on outcomes in this population.Prospero Registration Id:CRD42020211189
GoFundMe as a Medical Plan: Ecological Study of Crowdfunding Insulin Success (Preprint)
Authors: Blanchette Julia E , Tran MJ , Grigorian Ernest G , Iacob Eli , Edelman Linda S , Oser Tamara K , Litchman Michelle L 
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND

Individuals in need of medical care turn to crowdfunding websites to engage a “crowd” or group for financial support. In the last decade, access to insulin has decreased considerably for several reasons, including the rising cost of insulin, increasing popularity of high-deductible insurance plans, and increasing insurance premiums. Many people with diabetes are forced to ration or go without insulin, and they turn to crowdfunding websites to seek financial donations to purchase insulin needed to reduce health risks and mortality, and sustain quality of life.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore crowdfunding campaign requests to purchase insulin in the United States.

METHODS

In this retrospective, quantitative, and qualitative study, we coded the text of GoFundMe online crowdfunding campaigns and viral measures (shares, hearts, and comments) from February 25 to April 15, 2019. We described campaigns (N=205) and explored the factors associated with campaign success using correlations and qualitative thematic analysis.

RESULTS

The majority of campaigns were initiated by middle-aged adults (age 26-64 years; 77/205, 37.6%), those with type 1 diabetes (94/205, 45.9%), and those needing funds owing to insurance coverage issues (125/205, 61.0%). The factors associated with campaign success included requests for ≤US $500 (<i>P</i>=.007) and higher viral measures (shares, <i>P</i>=.007; hearts, <i>P</i><.001; comments, <i>P</i>=.002). The following 4 themes emerged from the campaign text: (1) desire for self-management and survival, (2) diabetes management untenable given insulin access, (3) aftermath of insulin unaffordability, and (4) privacy issues with crowdfunding. Campaign comments were both supportive (tangible, informational, and emotional) and unsupportive (questioned the need for the campaign and deemed crowdfunding inappropriate).

CONCLUSIONS

Despite crowdfunding websites being used to support the purchase of insulin, campaigns raised only a fraction of the money requested. Therefore, GoFundMe campaigns are not a reliable solution to obtain funds for insulin in the United States. Applying quantitative and qualitative methods is adequate to analyze online crowdfunding for costs of medications such as insulin. However, it is critical for people with diabetes to use resources other than online crowdfunding to access and obtain insulin owing to low success rates. Clinicians should routinely assess difficulty accessing or affording insulin, and federal health care policies should support lowering the cost of insulin.
