Authors: Yang Tiancheng , Nazir Shah 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
With the development and advancement of information technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are applied in every sector of life. Among these applications, music is one of them which has gained attention in the last couple of years. The music industry is revolutionized with AIbased innovative and intelligent techniques. It is very convenient for composers to compose music of high quality using these technologies. Artificial intelligence and Music (AIM) is one of the emerging fields used to generate and manage sounds for different media like the Internet, games, etc. Sounds in the games are very effective and can be made more attractive by implementing AI approaches. The quality of sounds in the game directly impacts the productivity and experience of the player. With computer-assisted technologies, the game designers can create sounds for different scenarios or situations like horror and suspense and provide gamer information. The practical and productive audio of a game can guide visually impaired people during other events in the game. For the better creation and composition of music, good quality of knowledge about musicology is essential. Due to AIM, there are a lot of intelligent and interactive tools available for the efficiency and effective learning of music. The learners can be provided with a very reliable and interactive environment based on artificial intelligence. The current study has considered presenting a detailed overview of the literature available in the area of research. The study has demonstrated literature analysis from various perspectives, which will become evidence for researchers to devise novel solutions in the field.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop cellulose-based polymer matrices as controlled release devices for plant-based insect repellents and attractants, with the aim of finding sustainable and environmentally friendly pest control methods for agricultural applications. Citronellol, terpineol and methyl salicylate were the selected active compounds for this study. Their compatibility with cellulose diacetate was predicted using Hansen Solubility Parameters, which predicted terpineol as the most compatible with cellulose diacetate, followed by methyl salicylate and citronellol. This was consistent with the plasticization efficiency trend from DMA results of solvent cast cellulose diacetate films containing the active compounds. The chemical identity of the films and cellulose diacetate-active compound intermolecular interactions were verified by FTIR. TGA demonstrated the thermal stability of cellulose diacetate/active compound/clay formulations at temperatures not exceeding 170 °C. Cellulose diacetate/organoclay nanocomposite matrices containing the active compounds at 35 wt-% were prepared by twin screw extrusion compounding, with the active compounds also functioning as plasticizers. The amount of active compound in the strands was determined by solvent extraction and TGA. Both methods showed that small amounts of active compound were lost during the compounding process. SEM demonstrated the effect of organoclay on the internal morphology of the matrix, whereas TEM showed clay dispersion and intercalation within the matrix. The matrix served as a reservoir for the active compounds while simultaneously controlling their release into the environment. Release profiles, obtained through oven ageing at 40 °C for 70 days, were fitted to existing Log-logistic and Weibull models, and novel Diffusion and Modified Weibull release models. Citronellol was released the fastest, followed by methyl salicylate and terpineol. The findings suggest that cellulose diacetate/organoclay strands are promising controlled-release matrices for pest control purposes.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Background: Falls impose significant health and economic burdens among older populations, making their prevention a priority. Health economic decision models can inform whether the falls prevention intervention represents a cost-effective use of resources and/or meet additional decisional objectives such as reducing social inequities of health. This study aims to conduct a systematic review (SR) of community-based falls prevention models to: (i) systematically identify such models; (ii) synthesise and critically appraise the modelling methods/results; and (iii) formulate methodological and commissioning recommendations.Methods: The SR followed the PRISMA guideline, covering the period 2003-2020, 12 academic databases and grey literature. A study was included if it: targeted community-dwelling persons aged 60 and over and/or aged 50-59 at high falls risk; evaluated intervention(s) designed to reduce falls or fall-related injuries; against any comparator(s); reported outcomes of economic evaluation; used decision modelling; and had English full text. Extracted data fields were grouped under higher categories: (A) model and evaluation overview; (B) falls epidemiology features; (C) falls prevention intervention features; and (D) evaluation methods and outcomes. A checklist for falls prevention economic evaluations assessed reporting/methodological quality. Extracted fields were narratively synthesised and critically appraised to inform methodological and commissioning recommendations. The SR protocol is registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42021232147).Results: 46 models were identified. The most prevalent issue according to the checklist was non-incorporation of all-cause care costs. Based on general population, lifetime models conducting cost-utility analyses, seven interventions produced favourable ICERs relative to no intervention under the cost-effectiveness threshold of £30,000 per QALY gained; of these, results for (1) combined multifactorial and environmental intervention, (2) physical activity promotion for women, and (3) targeted vitamin D supplementation were from validated models. Decision-makers should explore the transferability and feasible reaches of these interventions in their local settings. There was some evidence that exercise and home modification exacerbate existing social inequities of health. Sixteen methodological recommendations were formulated from critical appraisal.Conclusion: There is significant methodological heterogeneity across falls prevention models. This SR’s appraisals of modelling methods should facilitate the conceptualisation of future falls prevention models. Its synthesis of evaluation outcomes could inform commissioning.

Abstract
We have evaluated eight different integrated crop management (ICM) modules for five years in a maize-wheat rotation (MWR); wherein, ICM1&2- ˈbusiness-as-usualˈ (conventional flatbed maize and wheat, ICM3&4- conventional raised bed (CTRB) maize and wheat without residues, ICM5&6- conservation agriculture (CA)-based zero till (ZT) flatbed maize and wheat with the residues, and ICM7&8- CA-based ZT raised bed maize and wheat with the residues. Results indicated that the ICM7&8 produced significantly (p<0.05) the highest maize grain yield (5 years av.) which was 7.8-21.3% greater than the ICM1-6. However, across years, the ICM5-8 gave statistically similar wheat grain yield, and was 8.4-11.5% greater than the ICM1-4. Similarly, the CA-based residue retained ICM5-8 modules had given 9.5-14.3% (5 years av.) greater system yields in terms of maize grain equivalents (MGEY) over the residue removed CT-based ICM1&4. System water productivity (SWP) was the highest with ICM5-8, being 10.3-17.8% higher than the ICM1-4. Nevertheless, the highest water use (TWU) was recorded in the CT flatbed (ICM1&2), ~7% more than the raised bed and ZT planted crops with or without the residues (ICM4-8). Furthermore, the ICM1-4 had produced 9.54% greater variable production costs compared to the ICM5-8, whereas, the ICM5-8 gave 24.3-27.4% additional returns than the ICM1-4. Also, different ICM modules caused significant (p<0.05) impacts on the soil properties, such as, organic carbon (SOC), microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), dehydrogenase (SDH), alkaline phosphatase (SAP) and urease (URE) activities. In 0.0-0.15 m soil profile, residue retained CA-based (ICM5-8) modules registered a 7.1-14.3% greater SOC and 10.2-17.3% SMBC than the ICM1-4. The sustainable yield index (SYI) of MWR was 13.4-18.6% greater under the ICM7&8 compared to the ICM1-4. Hence, this study conclude that the adoption of the CA-based residue retained ICMs in the MWR could sustain the crop yields, enhance farm profits, save water and improve soil properties of the north-western plan zones of India.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
Using newly precipitated Cu(OH)2, o-phenanthroline and phosphoric acid as raw materials, two complicated Cu(II) compounds were obtained by one-pot method. They are double-nuclear Cu(II) 1, {[Cu2(phen)2(H2PO4)3][Cu2(phen)2(H2O)(H2PO4)3]}·2H2PO4·5H2O, and mononuclear Cu(II) 2, [Cu(phen)2(H2PO4)]4·4H3PO4·2HPO4·6H2O. The crystal structure analysis showed that the copper phosphate reacted with the neutral ligand o-phenanthroline to obtain the compounds with different structures. Phosphoric acid can exist in various forms in copper complexes, such as H3PO4, (H2PO4)1-, (HPO4)2-, and form a rich and colorful supramolecular interaction with water molecules. Hirschfeld surface analysis gives the types and regions of molecular interactions in crystals. It is of scientific significance to understand the reaction between transition metal phosphate and organic neutral ligand. The thermogravimetric and magnetic properties of compounds 1 and 2 were also reported. Magnetic analysis shows that supramolecular interactions and dipole-dipole interactions have great influence on the magnetic properties of two compounds. CCDC: 20565681 for 1; 2090334 for 2.

Authors: Zhao Bin , Ma Jianxiong , He Jinquan , Ma Xinlong 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to analyze the in vitro effect of micro-strain stress on the proliferation and functional marker expression in chondrocytes isolated from human osteoarthritis cartilage samples.Methods: Chondrocytes isolated from human osteoarthritis cartilage samples were subjected to loading with different types of micro-strain stress. The proliferation activity was assessed by flow cytometry, and the functional expression of chondrocyte markers was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. Results: Flow cytometry results showed stimulation of proliferation of human osteoarthritic chondrocytes when an adequate micro-strain stress was applied. qRT-PCR and western blot results showed that micro-strain stress promotes human osteoarthritic chondrocyte functional marker expression. These features coincide with the upregulation of multiple proteins and genes affecting cell proliferation and functional chondrocyte marker expression, including cyclin D1, collagen II, and Rock.Conclusion: Adequate micro-strain stress could activate the Rho/Rock signaling pathway in osteoarthritic chondrocytes, thus transmitting mechanical signals to the cytoskeleton. This process leads to cytoskeleton reorganization, and transmission of the mechanical signals to the downstream effectors to promote proliferation and functional marker expression of osteoarthritic chondrocytes.
A Density Functional Theory Study on the Water Aggregation Behaviour of Fatty-Acid Based Anionic Surface Active Ionic Liquids
Authors: Sampathkumar Suresh , Vijayakumar Subramaniam 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The hydrogen bond interactions between methyl-imidazolium cation (MIM+) and fatty-acid anions (CmHnCOO–, where m=1–6; n-3–13) of ionic liquids are studied in both gas phase and water phase using density functional theory. The structural properties show that the presence of N–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds between [MIM]+ and [CmHnCOO]– (m=1–6;n-3–13) ionic liquids. From the vibrational frequency analysis it was found that the hydrogen bond interaction between [MIM]+ and [CmHnCOO]– (m=1–6;n-3–13) ionic liquids are red-shifted in frequency. The natural bond orbital analysis show that the N–H···O hydrogen bond associated with the large charge transfer which has the higher stabilization energy (i.e. E(2) ~ 38 kcal/mol). Further, the cation/anion–water cluster (H2O)1-3 interactions show that the water molecules are preferred to interact with anions. In the case of ionic liquids–water cluster interaction, the water molecules occupies the interstitial space between cation and anion of ionic liquids which results in weakening the cation-anion interaction.

Authors: Yi Wang , Wenjun Gao , Hailong Wang , Kepan Xu , Wen Luo , Jing Guo , Tingting Hong , Cai Zhiqiang 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The chitosanase (BaCsn46A) was extracted from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (GenBank: QEK97559.1) and synthesized after codon optimization. The saturation mutation site was determined by analyzing the sequence and three-dimensional protein model. WT and mutant chitosanase genes were cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The enzymatic properties of WT and mutants were compared, including the optimal reaction pH, temperature and thermostability. Three mutants S196F, S196Y and S196A with the highest specific enzyme activity were selected for further study. Compared with WT, the specific enzyme activity of S196Y increased by 144.76% (more than other two mutants), and the thermostability was not significantly improved. While the specific enzyme activity of S196A increased by 118.79%, and the thermostability of S196A was much higher than WT. From the perspective of industrial production, S196A is more in line with the requirements of industrial production because of its excellent thermal stability at 60°C. From the results of circular dichroism spectrum, the mutation of chitosanase at Ser196 did not change the secondary protein structure. In addition, CD analysis showed that the secondary structure of WT and mutants did not change significantly, indicating that the improvement of thermostability of S196A was not related to the secondary structure.

Authors: JAIBAN Panupong , WANNASUT Pimpilai , WATCHARAPASORN Anucha 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
In this work, the influences of Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 (BCZT) addition on phase, microstructure, and thermoelectric properties of Ca3Co4O9 (CCO) were investigated. (1-x)CCO-(x)BCZT ceramics where x = 0, 0.003, 0.005, and 0.010 were fabricated successfully via a conventional solid-state sintering at 1,223 K for 24 hrs. The substitution of BCZT introduced the chemical defects (V''Co, V'''Co, V''Ca) in CCO ceramic, which increased charge carrier concentration and enhanced the electrical conductivity. The presence of Co3+ improved the Seebeck coefficients of CCO ceramic. The thermal conductivity of CCO ceramic decreased when BCZT was added. The addition of BCZT at x = 0.010 promoted the highest thermoelectric power factor (PF~235 mW/mK2), and the highest figure of merit (ZT~0.5) at 800 K, which present this ceramic an alternative p-type oxide thermoelectric for a high-temperature thermoelectric device.
The Validity of the Residuals Approach to Measuring Resilience to Adverse Childhood Experiences
Authors: Cahill Stephanie , Hager Reinmar , Chandola Tarani 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Background: Resilience is broadly defined as the ability to maintain or regain functioning in the face of adversity. Recent work to harmonise the quantification and definition of resilience quantifies resilience as the residual variance in psychosocial functioning that remains after accounting for adversity exposure. However, there have been no published studies that have formally investigated the validity of this approach. Considering this, we examine the construct and predictive validity of the residuals approach using participants from ALSPAC. Methods: We regressed exposures of adolescent adversity on adolescent psychopathology scores using the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire and obtained the residual variance. We investigated construct validity by analysing whether previously identified demographic and resilience factors significantly predicted resilience. Predictive validity of resilience was investigated by comparing the predictive power of resilience with other determinants of psychosocial functioning on two developmental outcomes: depressive symptoms at 18 years, measured by the Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire, and NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) status at 17 and 23 years. The associations between depressive symptoms at 18, resilience, ACEs and covariates were tested using multiple linear regression. NEET status at 17 and 23 were run as separate binary multiple logistic regression models to test associations with resilience and known demographics previously associated with NEET status.Results: Seven previously identified protective factors, including self-esteem, positive sibling relationship, temperament, and positive perception of school, significantly predicted resilience to adolescent psychopathology, thus providing strong construct validity. Resilience significantly predicted a reduction in depressive symptoms at 18 years, and significantly decreased the likelihood of having NEET status at both 17 years and 23 years, even after taking into account early childhood adversity and other risk factors. None of the socioeconomic factors were significantly associated with resilience.Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that the residuals method of operationalising resilience has good construct and predictive validity yet recommend replication studies. It has the potential to advance research into the mechanisms and modifiability of resilience.Trial Registration: Not applicable

Published: December 2021

Abstract
The creep parameters of rockfill materials obtained from engineering analogy method or indoor tests often cannot accurately reflect the long-term deformation of high Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams (CFRDs). This paper introduces an optimized inversion method based on Multi-population Genetic Algorithm improved BP Neural Network and Response Surface Method (MPGA-BPNN RSM). The parameters used for inversion are determined by parameter sensitivity analysis based on the statistical orthogonal test method. MPGA-BPNN RSM, validated by Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and squared correlation coefficient (R2), etc., completely reflects the response between the creep parameters and the settlement calculation values obtained by Finite Element Method (FEM). MPGA optimized the objective function to obtain the optimal creep parameters. The results show that the settlement values of Xujixia CFRD calculated by FEM using the inversion parameters has great consistency with the monitored values both in size and in distribution, suggesting that the model parameters obtained by the introduced creep parameter inversion method are feasible and effective. The introduced method can improve the inversion efficiency and the prediction accuracy in FEM applications.

Abstract
Annealing is a crucial functional parameter relevant to the green synthesis and bactericidal properties of TiO2 nanocomposites (TiO2-NPs). In this work, the effect of the annealing temperature on the physicochemical and bactericidal properties of TiO2-NPs obtained from Calotropis gigantea was comprehensively studied. The synthesised TiO2-NPs were characterised using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectrophotometer and FTIR spectroscopy. The bactericidal properties were determined via the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion methods. The cytocompatibility of green TiO2 was further investigated using fibroblast cells lines model. Results indicated that amorphous-phase TiO2-NPs were transformed into the anatase phase at 500 °C with a crystallite size of 40.9 nm and MIC of 100 mg/mL towards S. aureus (colony count reduction from 4.3 log10 to 1.01 log10). Whereas TiO2-NPs annealed at 400 °C demonstrated no bacterial reduction, TiO2-NPs annealed at 500 °C showed a moderate zone of inhibition of 6.33–6.83 mm towards Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Findings from this study found that TiO-500C nanocomposites concentration at 100 mg/mL is cytocompatible to the fibroblast cells lines with proliferation rate/activity higher than 116% after 24 h treatment. The plant-mediated nano-sized cubic and spherical anatase TiO2-NPs encapsulated bioactive green elements, such as carbon, sodium, magnesium, chlorine, potassium, calcium and sulphur, from the C. gigantea extract, ultimately leading to versatile and eco-friendly bactericidal agents with wound-healing properties. Further studies are necessary to support the findings of this work.
