AbstractBackground Low levels of total C4b-binding protein (C4BPt), a circulating inhibitor of the classical/lectin complement pathways, were observed in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) and during warfarin treatment.Objectives To investigate the associations between aPL and C4BPt in patients with persistently positive (++) aPL, with/without clinical manifestations and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and in controls. Furthermore, we explored the impact of anticoagulation on C4BPt and in relation to complement activation.Methods In a cross-sectional design we investigated defined subgroups: primary (p) antiphospholipid syndrome (APS, N = 67), aPL++ individuals without clinical manifestations (aPL carriers, N = 15), SLE-aPL++ (N = 118, among them, secondary [s] APS, N = 56), aPL negative (−) SLE (SLE-aPL−, N = 291), and 322 controls. Clinical characteristics, including treatment, were tabulated. C4BPt was determined with a magnetic bead method. Complement proteins (C1q, C2, C3, C4, C3a, C3dg, sC5b-9, factor I [FI]) were measured. A mediation analysis was performed to decompose the total effect of aPL++ on C4BPt into the direct and indirect effects of aPL++ through warfarin.Results Overall, C4BPt is 20% decreased in aPL++ patients, regardless of SLE, APS, clinical manifestations, and aPL profile. C4BPt levels associate positively with complement proteins C1q, C2, C3, and C4, and negatively with complement activation product C3dg. In the SLE group, warfarin treatment contributes to approximately half of the C4BPt reduction (9%)Conclusion Both aPLs and warfarin are associated with C4BPt reduction. Complement activation in aPL++ patients may partly be explained by impaired inhibition through depressed C4BPt levels. Further studies are needed to understand the clinical implications.
Emerging from war: Public policy and patterns of foreign direct investment recovery in postwar environments
Authors: Moore Robert J. 
Published: January 2021

AbstractThe postwar environment is different from those of active war and established peace, with risks of violence and political volatility existing alongside renewed commitments to stability and development. International aid organizations join governing institutions in guiding policies for postwar growth. Though investments here are risky, I argue that governments can clarify key uncertainties and accelerate the process of recovering FDI by strengthening policy in areas of information transparency, governing accountability, and engagement with international aid. These ideas are tested with a survival analysis of inbound FDI recovery using a worldwide sample of postwar periods from 1970 to 2008. I find that while transparency and accountability accelerate FDI recovery as expected, foreign aid tends to be associated with slower rates of recovery. Rather than encourage postwar FDI with a commitment to development, aid may be an indirect signal that the environment is yet unfit for private sector investment. Policymakers and aid organizations should not rely on aid alone to attract foreign investment in postwar environments. Structures that encourage investment for social responsibility, with a long-term market outlook, may be more successful in these contexts.
The relationship between vertical stiffness during bilateral and unilateral hopping tests performed with different strategies and vertical jump performances
Authors: Mohammadian Mohammadamin , Sadeghi Heydar , Khaleghi Tazji Mehdi , Maloney Sean J. 
Published: January 2021

ABSTRACTVertical stiffness has been highlighted as a potential determinant of performance and may be estimated across a range of different performance tasks. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship between vertical stiffness determined during 9 different hopping tests and performance of vertical jumps. Twenty healthy, active males performed vertical hopping tests with three different strategies (self‐selected, maximal, and controlled) and three different limb configurations (bilateral, unilateral preferred, and unilateral non‐preferred), resulting in nine different variations, during which vertical stiffness was determined. In addition, participants performed squat jump (SQJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ) during which jump height, CMJ stiffness, and eccentric utilization ratio (EUR) were determined. Vertical stiffness in bilateral and unilateral preferred tasks performed with a self‐selected and maximal, but not controlled, strategy was associated with stiffness in the CMJ (r = 0.61–0.64; p < 0.05). However, stiffness obtained during unilateral preferred and non‐preferred hopping with self‐selected strategy was negatively associated with performance in SQJ and CMJ tasks (r = −0.50 to −0.57; p < 0.05). These findings suggest that high levels of vertical stiffness may be disadvantageous to static vertical jumping performance. In addition, unilateral hopping with a self‐selected strategy may be the most appropriate task variation if seeking to determine relationships with vertical jumping performance.Highlights
Stiffness obtained during unilateral hopping with a preferred strategy was negatively associated with vertical jumping performances
Stiffness obtained during hopping with preferred and maximal strategies was associated with stiffness obtained during a countermovement jump
In this population, hopping stiffness may therefore be reflective of an individual's countermovement jump strategy
High levels of stiffness may be disadvantageous to static‐start vertical jumping

Abstract
In present era smart cities are essential for further development. The fast growth in the urban population is a serious concern for city administration. It leads to various challenges while handling problems of resource crunch and managing them. Developments that relate to smart cities are helping the administration address these problems. Its initial effort prediction and its scalability are the main features for the completion of a successful smart-city project. The initiative depends on many factors that are inter-related. It is not possible to change or optimise certain kinds of aspects separately. The last-minute change in the schedule raises the project budget and time. In the early phases of the project, a realistic and concrete project plan needs a fair estimate of effort. This projected effort helps to monitor and handle the activities of application creation by the developer. Unfair allocation of efforts and resources between development activities, including software projects, contributes to the failure of smart city projects, too. Therefore, for smart city ventures, the secret to success is an accurate estimation of implementation activities at the earliest. Numerous approaches are available for effort prediction of software as well as hardware projects used to develop the smart city projects. Hence, the gap in the different methods available creates thrust areas for researchers to investigate and propose an effort prediction model for smart city-based projects. In this paper, a model has been formulated that takes into consideration a set of critical factors for a given IoT based application used to develop smart city in the subject, and it further provides estimation for the effort.

Abstract
Solar power is the cleanest and most flawless; most dependable form of energy. As noteworthy sources of electrical power generation are draining step by step and furthermore its utilization raises genuine natural concerns. These reasons have constrained the advancement of new energy resources which are sustainable and naturally protected. Solar Energy conversion has recovered the spotlight of Worldwide Energy Activities. A solar power system is durable, Environment-accommodating and furthermore lessens our carbon impression. Power is to be transported from enormous power plants to end-customers through a broad system. Rooftop Solar power is useful in expanding power productivity, thinking about the short distance. Solar Energy ends up being domestic and thus, we are in control for our very own bill and energy use. Moreover, solar power systems are sturdy; this probability of power disruption is reduced. The sun provides us with more energy than we could ever utilize, the benefits of solar power are best noticeable in the long haul. We may connect solar energy with electricity through PV (Photovoltaic) panels by expanding our utilization of solar panels. It is at par any reasonable doubt that Rooftop will be a Game Changer. The sun is exceptionally encouraging and promising source of energy. As much as solar was costly before, amid the most recent 30 years, alone researchers have thought of a decent and solid method for tapping the energy from the sun. Solar Energy is obtained through solar panels and converted over to solar electricity utilizing Photovoltaic (PV) technology. PV solar panels are long enduring and productively convert energy from the sun to electricity. Solar Energy must move from Class to Mass.

Simulation study on influence of component thickness on dwell-penetration transition time of long rod projectile impacting ceramic armour module
Authors: Goh W L , Luo B , Xu W , Yuan J 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
The influence of component thickness of ceramic armour performance against long rod projectile is a critical information for the process of armour design optimization. In this study, the correlation between dwell time and cover plate thickness and mechanism shift with different ceramic to backing plate thickness ratio were studied using hydrocode simulation software LS-Dyna. The projectile is a long rod projectile with a length to diameter ratio of 14 at a nominal velocity of 1.25 km/s. In this study the cover plate performance is studied based on a surrogate module configuration, where the backing thickness is 10 mm instead of the usual semi-infinite thickness backing which has minimal bending deformation. The parameters used in the simulation were calibrated against experimental data in previous studies. From the study, the cover plate needs a minimal thickness to establish dwell. For thicker cover plate, the dwell time starts to decrease due to the confinement provided by thickness of the cover, which limited the lateral flow of the cover plate. This restriction of lateral flow, resulted in pressure build-up at the ceramic surface, thus, reducing the dwell time.

Authors: Mostafa Sherif , Elhalwagy Y Z , AboZied M A H , Kamel A M 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
This work seeks to propose the development of a classical-optimized control design scheme for the steering and depth subsystems of autonomous underwater vehicle. Linearization methodological approach is carried out for acquiring the transfer functions to design the convenient P/PD/PID controllers where the gains are optimally adjusted utilizing a graphical tuning technique in LabVIEW. A low pass filter with additional alpha tuning parameter is combined with the derivative action to suppress the expected oscillations entirely. Furthermore, a comparative analysis study with linear quadratic regulator optimal control is established for testing and evaluating the suggested design approach. The effectiveness of the addressed controller strategy is appraised for compensating and rejection of several uncertainties such as fin saturation, angle limitation and sensor measurements noise as they are potentially affecting the system response. The validity of the linearized classical-optimized control design is substantiated with the nonlinear underwater vehicle model through a waypoint guidance scenario under LabVIEW simulation platform. The results revealed a significant improvement in transient and steady state responses and a remarkable enhanced stability for tracking the desired path to different designated waypoints.

Can photonics technologies contribute to sustainable harvesting of marine life
Authors: Varheim E K 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Humanity is depending on sustainable management of our common natural resources. Nature has got some premises that can not be violated without consequences. The oceans resources and ecosystems are heading for collapse if measures are not taken to change the course. New approaches based on science and gained knowledge about well working principles and innovative methods employed by marine predators can serve as inspiration to disrupt and rethink the way we perform harvest of marine resources. Humpback whales create bubble nets and make ‘walls of sound’ as a hunting strategy. Snapping shrimps use their claws to generate bubbles that cavitate to stun their prey. Inspired by nature, can we copy and apply principles from such performance in a future harvest methodology? And can photonics technologies play a role in this?.
