Published: April 2021

Abstract
Because of the population increasing so high, and traffic density remaining the same, traffic prediction has become a great challenge today. Creating a higher degree of communication in automobiles results in the time wastage, fuel wastage, environmental damage, and even death caused by citizens being trapped in the middle of traffic. Only a few researchers work in traffic congestion prediction and control systems, but it may provide less accuracy. So, this paper proposed an efficient IoT based traffic prediction using OWENN algorithm and traffic signal control system using Intel 80286 microprocessor for a smart city. The proposed system consists of '5' phases, namely, IoT data collection, feature extraction, classification, optimized traffic IoT values, and traffic signal control system. Initially, the IoT traffic data is collected from the dataset. After that, traffic, weather, and direction information are extracted, and these extracted features are given as input to the OWENN classifier, which classifies which place has more traffic. Suppose one direction of the place has more traffic, it optimizes the IoT values by using IBSO, and finally, the traffic is controlled by using Intel 80286 microprocessor. The experimental results show that the proposed system outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract
In this study, Bi2O3/Bi2SiO5 heterojunction were in-situ constructed on the exfoliated bentonite via a novel one-pot method. The crystal structure, morphology, and optical features for the as-synthesized Bi2O3/Bi2SiO5 heterojunctions were systematically characterized by a series of characterization methods. During the preparation process, the exfoliated bentonite acted as the Si source and framework for the in-situ formation of Bi2O3/Bi2SiO5 p-n heterogeneous junction on the bentonite interlayer. As a result, the Bi2O3/Bi2SiO5 photocatalyst exhibited a superior photocatalytic performance than that of bare α-Bi2O3 toward the decomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) via the simulated solar light irradiation, which was due to the synergetic effects of large specific surface areas and p-n junction between Bi2SiO5 and Bi2O3. Moreover, a probable photocatalytic mechanism for the as-prepared photocatalysts was explored. This work provides a new insight into building the cost-efficient photocatalysts for the contaminant degradation and a latent photocatalytic application of bentonite.

Abstract
The optical sensing and supramolecular cyanide recognition sites of two dipodal Schiff bases having conjugated to catecols (1) and phenols (2) (namely, salophenes 1 and 2) have been studied. In the case of optical sensing, both probes recognized only cyanide (CN¯) ions in 30% PBS buffer CH3CN (pH 7.4) as confirmed from the changes of absorption and emission bands, resulting in color changes. From the supramolecular recognition point of view, probes 1 and 2 show the different recognition bahaviour toward CN¯, as evidenced by the fluoroscence and NMR data, as well the OH¯ and reversibility experiments. While 1 recognizes CN¯ via deprotonation, that of 2 is the first example of Schiff base which senses CN¯ through an intramolecular aldimine condensation cyclization, leading to formation of dihydroxyquinoxaline 4. In general, probes 1, 2 and 4 are promising on-site optical sensors in terms of easy prepared, selectivity, sensitivity (1–10 nM), ease of use, rapid response (< 5 s) and test kits.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
This paper proposed a feature selection method combined with multi-time-scales analysis and heart rate variability (HRV) analysis for middle and early diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF). In previous studies regarding the diagnosis of CHF, researchers have tended to increase the variety of HRV features by searching for new ones or to use different machine learning algorithms to optimize the classification of CHF and normal sinus rhythms subject (NSR). In fact, the full utilization of traditional HRV features can also improve classification accuracy. The proposed method constructs a multi-time-scales feature matrix according to traditional HRV features that exhibit good stability in multiple time-scales and differences in different time-scales. The multi-scales features yield better performance than the traditional single-time-scales features when the features are fed into a support vector machine (SVM) classifier, and the results of the SVM classifier exhibit a sensitivity, a specificity, and an accuracy of 99.52%, 100.00%, and 99.83%, respectively. These results indicate that the proposed feature selection method can effectively reduce redundant features and computational load when used for automatic diagnosis of CHF.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The naproxen bioavailability via percutaneous route is low, and several technologies have been used to overcome the problem. Although the permeation enhancer properties of natural essential oils have been reported, there is no study to show the effectiveness of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil on the percutaneous absorption of naproxen sodium from a topical gel to overcome poor percutaneous absorption of naproxen. To this end, the naproxen topical gel was formulated using Carbopol 940 (as a gelling agent), and several vehicles. The results showed a greater level of penetration into (222.19 ± 24.87 vs. 107.65 ± 6.38 µg/cm 2 ) and across (22.07 ± 4.42 vs. 13.14 ± 2.87µg/cm 2 ) the skin layers for the formulation containing essential oil in comparison with the naproxen gel ( P < 0.05) . A significant antinociceptive property was observed in naproxen topical gel containing 0.5% essential oil in both the first and late phase of the formalin test. The effect was observed in the late phase of the tail-flick test too. In conclusion, the study demonstrated that Lavandula angustifolia essential oil significantly enhanced the percutaneous absorption of naproxen and the analgesic effects.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Unlike previous studies that focused mainly on the relationship between financial development and CO2 emissions, the current study examined the moderating effect of institutional quality on the influence of financial development on environmental pollution in G20 countries over the period 2003-2015. The panel corrected standard errors (PCSE) is employed as an econometric technique. The findings are established as follows: First, the findings show that institutional quality appears to have a mixed (positive and negative) effect on environmental pollution. Second, the findings show that financial development has mixed (positive and negative) effect on environmental pollution. Third, the findings also show that the interaction between institutional quality and financial development has a negative and statistically significant on environmental pollution, meaning that institutional quality complements financial sector to reduce environmental pollution. Policy implications are discussed.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of prophylactic uterine artery embolisation (UAE) on reproductive outcomes in caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) patients.Methods: Clinical data of CSP patients diagnosed at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2014 to December 2019 were collected. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 181 patients with reproductive needs were selected and divided into UAE group (n = 51) and non-UAE group (n = 130) according to whether the patient received preventive UAE before their hysteroscopic or laparoscopic operation. The basic characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of individuals of the groups were compared, and propensity score matched (PSM) analysis was used to produce 37 matched pairs.Results: Before PSM, the UAE group had a thinner muscle layer, larger mass size, and higher serum human chorionic gonadotropin level than the non-UAE group. The pregnancy rate and live birth rate of the UAE group were 54.9% and 61.9%, respectively, which were lower than those of the non-UAE group (61.5% and 66.7%), but no statistical differences were observed. Post-PSM, no significant differences between basic characteristics of the groups were observed. The pregnancy rate of the UAE group was 51.4%, lower than that of the non-UAE group (73.0%). The live birth rate of the UAE group was 64.3%, also lower than that of the non-UAE group (72.7%); however, the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion: Prophylactic UAE is a safe and effective adjuvant treatment for CSP, and has no significant effect on subsequent pregnancy and live birth rates.

Abstract
Industry 4.0 makes manufacturers more vulnerable to current challenges and makes it easier to adapt to market changes. This will increase the speed of innovation, make it more customer-oriented and lead to faster design processes. It is essential to focus on monitoring and controlling the production system before complex accidents occur. Moreover, an industrial control system facing information security problems in recent times because of the nature of IoT which affects the evaluation of abnormal predication. To overcome above research gaps, we shift to industrial 4.0 which combine IoT and mechanism learning for industrial monitor and manage. We propose a hybrid machine learning technique for IoT enabled industrial monitoring and control system (IoT-HML). Here, we concentrate both information security issues with accurate monitoring and control system. The first section of proposed IoT-HML system is to introduce the cat induced wheel optimization (IWO) algorithm for cluster formation. The process consists of clustering and cluster head (CH) selection. The source node forward information to destination through CH only which avoids the unwanted data loss and improve the security, because the information travel through trusted path. For route selection process, we utilize the cuckoo search algorithm to compute the optimal best path among multiples. In second section, we illustrate a coach and player learned neural network (CP-LNN) for monitoring the industrial and prevent from accidents by basic control strategies. Finally, the proposed IoT-HML system can evaluate with different set of data’s to prove the effectiveness.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
Background: Most patients with schizophrenia are unable to fulfill their personal and social responsibilities and these are met by their caregivers. The concept of 'burden' has come to the fore for caregivers. Long-acting injectables have been shown to reduce relapse rates, and provide a better level of functionality, but their effect on caregiver burden has not been investigated. Objective: Our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of transition from oral to long-acting antipsychotic treatments on caregiver burden. Other factors that may be related to the burden were also discussed.Setting: This study was performed at Community Mental Health Center of Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital.Methods: Caregivers (n:138) of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia for at least one year and who received oral paliperidone or aripiprazole were evaluated at baseline and 1 year after switching to long-acting injectables.Main outcome measure: The Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (ZCBS) and the Clinical Global Impression-Disease Severity (CGI-S) were administered. Demographic characteristics of caregivers and patients were evaluated.Results: Significant decreases were found in the ZCBS and CGI-S scores after transitioning to long-acting injectable antipsychotics (p <0.001). Caregiver burden was positively correlated with patient's age, CGI-S score, time spent in the same house, duration of illness, and the number of hospitalizations. A significant negative correlation was found among the caregiver’s age, educational level, and income (p <0.05).Conclusion: In the present study, the importance of switching to long-acting injectable antipsychotics, which is a modifiable factor, to reduce caregiver burden was emphasized
N2O Reduction During Denitrifying Phosphorus Removal With Propionate as Carbon Source
Authors: Cong Li , Wang Qian , Jia Wenlin 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Denitrifying phosphorus removal was realized in sequencing batch reactors using different carbons sources (acetate, propionate, and a mixture of acetate/propionate). Nutrient removal and N2O production were investigated, and the factors affecting N2O production were explored. Nitrogen removal was 40.6% lower when propionate was used as the carbon source instead of acetate, while phosphorus removal was not significantly different. N2O production was greatly reduced when propionate was used as the carbon source instead of acetate. The emission factor in the propionate system was only 0.43%, while those in the acetate and mixed-carbon source system were 16.3% and 1.9%, respectively. Compared to the propionate system, ordinary heterotrophic organisms (i.e., glycogen-accumulating organisms) were enriched in the acetate system, explaining the higher N2O production in the acetate system. The lower nitrite accumulation in the propionate system compared to the acetate system was the dominant factor leading to the lower N2O production.

Abstract
A plethora of studies have described heterosis or hybrid vigor; however, a global understanding of its regulation and the transmission of transcriptional levels between parents and hybrid has yet to be attained. To improve our understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling maize heterosis, we used an incomplete diallel cross design consisting of four elite maize inbred lines and six of their hybrids to measure the degree of variation in gene expression between the parents and their hybrids. We found that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) drove diversity of tissue specific heterosis and that heterophile expression was a generally complementary mechanism of gene expression in hybrids. However, the full expression of heterosis was due to the proportion of super dominant gene expression patterns that aggregate the regulatory network of dominant genes in response to adversity, and thus promotes heterosis in hybrids. Our results provide a new understanding and perspective into the regulatory mechanisms that control heterosis and represent an important step towards a more comprehensive explanation of heterosis in maize.

Abstract
Background There are two central dogmas between the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, the placental origin and the extra-placental origin. Recent findings found that women with a history of preeclampsia are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death because of cardiovascular disease. This finding leads to the extra-placental origin. During normal pregnancy, the maternal cardiovascular system undergoes modification. However, hemodynamic and vascular modification are disrupted in women who develop preeclampsia. NT-proBNP is a biomarker that indicates the disruption of the cardiovascular system and can predict the complication of preeclampsia. Based on that information, we would like to investigate the roles of NT-proBNP plasma levels in predicting maternal and fetal complications of preeclampsia women. Besides, we also investigate the roles of NT-proBNP plasma levels in predicting the severity and onset of preeclampsia women and the sensitivity and specificity of NT-proBNP plasma levels in preeclamptic women.MethodsWe designed and registered a study protocol for a systematic review. This study aims to investigate the roles of NT-proBNP plasma levels in predicting maternal and fetal complications of preeclampsia women. The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Diagnostic Test Accuracy was used to structure our methodological approach and the Preferred Reporting Items for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols guidelines in reporting the findings of this review. We will search literature in Hinari, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, and Scopus database. Then, we will search the grey literature in OCLC’s OAISTER. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies will be included in the analysis. Three reviewers will independently screen articles, extract data, and evaluate for quality and bias using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Studies were included according to the following procedures: (1) Identification, Duplication of articles and non-original research articles will be excluded; (2) Title and Abstract Screening, RCT and observational studies and focused on NT-proBNP levels in preeclampsia; (3) Full-text availability; and (4) Full-text screening based on PICO criteria. Each outcome is synthesized by a qualitative or narrative approach. The results will be divided into certain points, namely (a) Selection of the studies, (b) Characteristics of the Eligible Studies, (c) Data Extraction of the Eligible Studies, and (d) Risk of Bias Analysis Results.Discussion A systematic review of the role of NT-proBNP as predicting biomarkers for preeclampsia complications will be conducted. This study can help predict the severity, onset, and complication of a pregnant woman with preeclampsia.

Published: April 2021

Abstract
BackgroundRaw materials composed of easily assimilated monosaccharides have been employed as carbon source for production of microbial lipids. Nevertheless, agro-industrial wastes rich in galactose-based carbohydrates have not been introduced as feedstocks for oleaginous yeasts. ResultsIn this study, Aureobasidium namibiae A12 was found to efficiently accumulate lipid from soy molasses and whey powder containing galactose-based carbohydrates, with lipid productions of 5.30 g/L and 5.23 g/L, respectively. Over 80% of the fatty acids was C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, and C18:2. All kinds of single sugar components in the two byproducts were readily converted into lipids, with yields ranging between 0.116 g/g and 0.138 g/g. Three α-galactosidases and five β-galactosidases in the strain were cloned and analyzed. β-galactosidase was responsible for lactose hydrolysis; sucrase and α-galactosidase both contributed to the efficient hydrolysis of raffinose and stachyose in a cooperation manner. ConclusionsThis is a new way to produce lipids from raw materials containing galactose-based carbohydrates. This finding revealed the significance of sucrase in the direct hydrolysis of galactose-based carbohydrates in raw materials for the first time and facilitated the understanding of the efficient utilization of galactose-based carbohydrates to manufacture lipid or other chemicals in bioprocess

Authors: Tan Mengxi , Xu Xingyuan , Moss David 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
We demonstrate an RF photonic fractional Hilbert transformer based on an integrated Kerr micro-comb source featuring a record low free spectral range of 49 GHz. By programming and shaping the comb lines according to calculated tap weights for up to 39 wavelengths across the C-band, we achieve tunable bandwidths ranging from 1.2 to 15.3 GHz as well as variable center frequencies from baseband to 9.5 GHz, for both standard integral and arbitrary fractional orders. We experimentally characterize the RF amplitude and phase response of the tunable bandpass and lowpass Hilbert transformers with 90 and 45-degree phase shifts. The experimental results show good agreement with theory, confirming the effectiveness of our approach as a powerful way to implement standard and fractional order Hilbert transformers with broad and variable bandwidths and center frequencies, with high reconfigurability and greatly reduced size and complexity.

Abstract
Background: Severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH) presenting as acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) carries a high short-term mortality. Alteration of gut microbiota is a crucial component implicated in its pathogenesis, whose modulation has been suggested as a potential therapeutic tool. We evaluated the safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and its efficacy in improving short-term survival and clinical severity scores in patients with SAH-ACLF.Methods: Thirty-three patients [13 in the FMT arm;20 in the standard of care arm (SOC] with SAH-ACLF were included in this open-label study. A single FMT session was administered as a freshly prepared stool suspension from pre-identified healthy family member stool donors through a nasojejunal tube. Patients were followed up on days seven, twenty-eight, and ninety. Results: Survival at twenty-eight and ninety days was significantly better in the FMT arm (100% versus 60%, P=0.01; 53.84% versus 25%, P=0.02). Hepatic encephalopathy resolved in 100% versus 57.14% (FMT versus SOC, P=0.11) patients, while ascites resolved in 100% versus 40% survivors (P=0.04). Major adverse event rates, including spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and gastrointestinal bleeding, were similar in both groups (P=0.77; P=0.70). Median IL1beta decreased by21.39% (IQR -73.67-7.63) in the FMT group, whereas it increased in the SOC by 27.44% (IQR -0.88-128.11) (P=0.01). Percentage changes in bilirubin and ALT between baseline and day seven emerged as predictors of ninety-day mortality.Conclusion: FMT is safe, improves short-term and medium-term survival, and leads to improvement in clinical severity scores in patients with SAH-ACLF.
