Abstract
Introduction Finding solutions to mitigate the impact of pollution on living systems is a matter of great interest. Homeopathic preparations of toxic substances have been described in the literature as attenuation factors for intoxication. Herein, an experimental study using Artemia salina and mercury chloride was developed as a model to identify aspects related to bioresilience.
Aims The aim of the study was to describe the effects of homeopathic Mercurius corrosivus (MC) on Artemia salina cysts hatching and on mercury bioavailability.
Methods Artemia salina cysts were exposed to 5.0 µg/mL of mercury chloride during the hatching phase. MC potencies (6cH, 30cH, and 200cH) were prepared in sterile purified water and poured into artificial sea water. Different controls were used (non-challenged cysts and challenged cysts treated with water, succussed water, and Ethilicum 1cH). Four series of nine experiments were performed to evaluate the percentage of cyst hatching. Soluble total mercury (THg) levels and precipitated mercury content were also evaluated. Solvatochromic dyes were used to check for eventual physicochemical markers of MC biological activity.
Results Significant delay (p < 0.0001) in cyst hatching was observed only after treatment with MC 30cH, compared with controls. This result was associated with an increase of THg concentration in water (p = 0.0018) and of chlorine/oxygen ratio (p < 0.0001) in suspended micraggregates, suggesting changes in mercury bioavailability. A specific interaction of MC 30cH with the solvatochromic dye ET33 (p = 0.0017) was found.
Conclusion Changes in hatching rate and possible changes in Hg bioavailability are postulated as protective effects of MC 30cH on Artemia salina, by improving its natural bioresilience processes.

Abstract
Background Mapping of vascular perforators by various methodologies have been described for planning of a variety of flaps in the lower limbs. We attempted to assess the changes in posterior tibial perforators after transfer of fasciocutaneous flaps for leg defects.
Methods 20 patients with distal leg and foot defects were studied by computed tomography angiography (CTA) and preoperative audio Doppler to ascertain perforators of posterior tibial artery. Fasciocutaneous flaps were raised, based on these perforators, depending on the site and size of soft-tissue defects. The number of perforators and their distance from the medial malleolus were also studied. Postoperative CTA was performed on the 7th to 10th day, with emphasis on postoperative changes of the perforators on which the flaps were based.
Results One to four posterior tibial perforators were found between 5 cm and 8 cm proximal to the medial malleolus. After flap transfer, the perforators could be traced to variable distance through the total length of the flap. The perforators formed small vascular loop in 12 patients, following retrograde posterior tibial flap transfer. The height of the loop, the number of such loops, the dilatation and tortuosity of the perforators, and their longitudinal orientation were studied in detail. Most of the findings can be explained by mechanical realignment of perforators as well as by the delay phenomenon associated with retrograde fasciocutaneous flaps.
Conclusion It was concluded that the morphological changes associated with the perforators explained the vascular rationality and success of these flaps.
Building the UK vision of a driverless future: A Parliamentary Inquiry case study
Authors: Tennant Chris , Howard Susan , Stares Sally 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThe UK Government has endorsed the case for autonomous vehicle (AV) technology and its economic benefits in its industrial strategies since 2013. In late 2016 the Science and Technology Committee in the House of Lords (the legislature’s upper chamber) conducted an Inquiry into the policy. We conduct a content analysis of the text corpus of the Inquiry. Drawing from theories of sociotechnical change we explore how it contributes to building a vision of a future AV world embedded in a national economic and technological project. The technology is framed as a solution to societal grand challenges and the Inquiry corpus is dominated by actors committed to the project. Alternative visions, including sceptical interpretations, are present in the corpus, but rare, reflecting the selection process for contributions to the Inquiry. Predominantly, the corpus represents the public as deficient: dangerous drivers, unaware of promised benefits and unduly anxious about the unfamiliar. Their views are marginal in this Parliamentary Inquiry’s findings. AV technology is one of several possible means to pursue wider mobility policy goals of greater safety, affordability, access and sustainability. Our analysis suggests that the pursuit of an AV future risks becoming a goal in itself instead of a means to these broader societal goals.
A pulse oxidation facility for the study of oxide nucleation behavior
Authors: Taylor Matthew , Mannava Venkateswara Rao , Bossen Aaron , Perepezko John H. 
Published: September 2021

A pulse oxidation experimental facility was developed to examine the oxide nucleation behavior at different temperatures under a controlled oxygen atmosphere. An electromagnetic induction heater, a sample holder, and a controlled oxygen atmosphere are the key components of this facility. This experimental facility can also be used up to 1200 °C and Po2 levels from 1.3 × 10−5 to 0.1 Pa under isothermal conditions for times as short as 10 s. The efficacy of the method was illustrated by a study of the oxidation behavior of Ni-30 wt. % Cr at 600 °C for 45 s at Po2 of 1.3 × 10−2 Pa where the influence of grain orientation on oxidation behavior was highlighted by studying the nucleation rate on grains of known orientation. By using a single grain-orientation-mapped sample, pairs of grains each of known crystallographic orientation can be selected to be subjected to identical conditions. For example, new oxidation behavior was discovered where on a (111) oriented grain, corundum islands form with a nucleation density of 2.9 × 1011 islands/m2 and exhibited inward growth, whereas rock salt oxide islands formed on (100) grains at a density of 7 × 1012 islands/m2 and exhibited outward growth. The corundum oxide islands are in the range of 50–300 nm, whereas rock salt oxide islands are in the range of 50–600 nm and are well separated. The pulse oxidation facility with accurately controlled temperature and oxidation environment enables a new domain of study for the initial oxidation on bulk samples with a native oxide that represents realistic exposure conditions.

Published: September 2021

The wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) procedure produces tens of thousands of images of the digestive tract, for which the use of the manual reading process is full of challenges. Convolutional neural networks are used to automatically detect lesions in WCE images. However, studies on clinical multilesion detection are scarce, and it is difficult to effectively balance the sensitivity to multiple lesions. A strategy for detecting multiple lesions is proposed, wherein common vascular and inflammatory lesions can be automatically and quickly detected on capsule endoscopic images. Based on weakly supervised learning, EfficientNet is fine-tuned to extract the endoscopic image features. Combining spatial features and channel features, the proposed attention network is then used as a classifier to obtain three classifications. The accuracy and speed of the model were compared with those of the ResNet121 and InceptionNetV4 models. It was tested on a public WCE image dataset obtained from 4143 subjects. On the computer-assisted diagnosis for capsule endoscopy database, the method gives a sensitivity of 96.67% for vascular lesions and 93.33% for inflammatory lesions. The precision for vascular lesions was 92.80%, and that for inflammatory lesions was 95.73%. The accuracy was 96.11%, which is 1.11% higher than that of the latest InceptionNetV4 network. Prediction for an image only requires 14 ms, which balances the accuracy and speed comparatively better. This strategy can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic method for specialists for the rapid reading of clinical capsule endoscopes.

Abstract
This paper has two aims: (1) to examine evidence for noncognate translation priming from cross-language masked priming studies of printed words. (2) to introduce an automatic procedure for creating masked speech priming experiments. For (1) we conducted two meta-analyses that aggregated evidence from masked translation priming studies in the L1 to L2 and L2 to L1 prime-target directions. These showed that there was evidence of significant priming for both directions, and that priming was larger for the L1-L2 direction. The analyses revealed considerable heterogeneity in outcomes, particularly for priming in the L1 to L2 direction. For (2) we outlined some of the practical difficulties that are involved in implementing a masked speech priming experiment and offered a largely automated solution (that we will make available).1 We then briefly considered whether the work with written primes and targets may translate to the spoken medium.
Stress-induced modification of gyration dynamics in stacked double-vortex structures studied by micromagnetic simulations

Abstract
In this paper, using micromagnetic simulations, we investigate the stress-induced frequency tunability of double-vortex nano-oscillators comprising magnetostrictive and non-magnetostrictive ferromagnetic layers separated vertically by a non-magnetic spacer. We show that the relative orientations of the vortex core polarities p
1 and p
2 have a strong impact on the eigen-frequencies of the dynamic modes. When the two vortices with antiparallel polarities have different eigen-frequencies and the magnetostatic coupling between them is sufficiently strong, the stress-induced magnetoelastic anisotropy can lead to the single-frequency resonant gyration mode of the two vortex cores. Additionally, for the case of parallel polarities, we demonstrate that for sufficiently strong magnetostatic coupling, the magnetoelastic anisotropy leads to the coupled vortex gyration in the chaotic regime and to the lateral separation of the vortex core trajectories. These findings offer a path for achieving a fine control over gyration frequencies and trajectories in vortex-based oscillators via adjustable elastic stress, which can be easily generated and tuned electrically, mechanically or optically.

Abstract
Malaysia can only recycle about 1,150 tons of solid waste than 23,000 tons of solid waste disposed of every day. This amount is equivalent to 5% of the total solid waste disposed of. At the same time, 19% of waste is dumped into water drainages such as rivers, trench, and drains. This activity contributes to clogged drains, mosquito breeding, and the transmission of other diseases. Waste management is an important issue that is commonly discussed and highlighted in the media. The most common issue is how to efficiently and effectively collect garbage waste. The current method of collecting garbage is very time-consuming and requires many workforces. In addition, the existing machine is expensive, and its usage is limited to certain areas only. To save the energy of human resources and time, a new garbage collector design should be proposed. Usage of machines focused on the big flat area such as at a field and open area like parking lot area. This area is commonly used for significant events like a night market, expo, concert, or exhibition. Therefore, this concept design is intended to solve and surmount the stated problem by designing and developing the new design garbage collector machine. The concept design follows an essential design process that identifies needs, conceptual design, embodiment design, and detail design. This design can be developed for the expected result and proceed for proof-of-concept testing to test the functionality and capability.

Abstract
Introducing nanoparticles in liquid-based mixtures began to gain attention in various industries. This is supported by previous studies to improve the performance and provide energy saving for the system. Among its uses is in the VCRS and automotive air conditioning (AAC) system. The lubricant used in this system has the potential to have a good effect on the performance. Before testing the nanolubricant enhancement performance, an automotive air conditioning (AAC) system test rig based on hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) AC system has to be developed; therefore, this paper presented the development process of AAC test rig specific for the HEV. In order to analyze the performance, 11 thermocouples, a digital pressure gauge with data logger, and AC/DC power clamp were assembled and used. After that, the experiment was conducted with five different initial refrigerant charges and three different compressor speeds. This method was applied to both pure POE lubricant and SiO2/POE nanolubricant. Then, the heat absorbs, compressor work, and coefficient of performance (COP) were evaluated. The highest average COP for SiO2/POE nanolubricant was achieved at a 40 % duty cycle (2520 RPM) speed with a value of 2.84. The highest enhancement of the COP is 25.1% at 60% duty cycle (3180 RPM) speed with 160 grams of initial refrigerant charged an average enhancement of the COP is 13.16%.

Abstract
Waste of beverage cans has not been utilized properly so far and it tends to cause environmental _pollution. Thus, the efforts are required to utilize the waste material from these cans into useful or advance product. Currently, there are many technological advancement applications requiring such components that have mild but good in mechanical properties. This work tries to the utilize the soft drink beverage cans waste as a main raw material. By utilizing the heat at temperatures above recrystallization accompanied by nitrogen infiltration to inhibit porosity, followed by the addition of magnesium as a wetting agent. The combination of those materials will facilitate in improving the produced mechanical properties. The utilization of beverage cans as a metal matrix composites is expected to be able to maintain environmental balance, because it cannot be naturally degraded . In this work, the beverage cans serve as a matrix, the alumina (Al2O3) of 10-20 vol.% used as reinforcement, and magnesium (Mg) of 14-16 % of weight percent as a wetting agent. The result shows that the composition combination of 20 vol.% of weight percent Al2O3 and 14 vol.% of weight percent Mg produces the highest mechanical properties and evenly distributed constituent. Thus, the_waste of beverage cans based on aluminum AA3104 is highly recommended to be used as a matrix combined with reinforcement of Al2O3 and wetting agent of Mg. It is proposed that by using beverage cans waste as metal matrix composite (MMC),the land pollution can be reduced and environmental balance can be enhanced properly.
Alleviating the unfairness of recommendation by eliminating the conformity bias
Authors: Ma Zhe , Dong Qiang 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Recommendation systems play a critical role in the Internet era. In the past decade, many methods have been proposed to improve the accuracy of recommendation. However, simply increasing the accuracy is usually accompanied by the popularity bias in the recommendation results. In addition, from the perspective of item providers the popularity bias will bring unfairness in exposure of different items to users. In this paper, we propose a method to alleviate problems of unfairness and popularity bias. The main idea is based on the hypothesis that some interactions of users with popular items are not due to their preferences, but attribute to the conformity propensity, which aggravates the popularity bias problem. Thus we consider to eliminate these so called “unreliable interactions” to alleviate the unfairness. We propose a two-step preferential diffusion process between conformity users and popular items in the random walk recommendation algorithm to reduce the effect of unreliable interaction and alleviate the popularity bias and unfairness under the condition of ensuring accuracy. The experiment results on the two benchmark datasets, Movie-Lens and Netflix, show that our algorithm can improve the fairness of recommendation results and alleviate the popularity bias while achieving slightly increased recommendation accuracy.

Abstract
In this study, we explored the potential targets and mechanisms of Daphne genkwa anti-tumor through data mining, network pharmacology, and molecular docking techniques. The protein-protein Interaction Network (PPI) and the "active component-target" network of anti-tumor target sites of Daphne Genkwa were constructed, then the core target and the active components were studied by molecular docking. A total of 7 active ingredients, 116 potential targets, 9775 tumor-related targets were obtained. Among them, 177 were the intersection targets of ingredients and diseases. The ingredients-targets visual network diagram showed 126 nodes and 216 edges. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed the molecular functions, cellular ingredients, biological processes and pathways of the anti-tumor targets of Daphne genkwa. The results of molecular docking showed that the active components of Daphne Genkwa bind well to the anti-tumor core protein. In conclusion, Daphne genkwa can exert anti-tumor effects through multiple channels and targets.

Abstract
With the rapid growth of IoT devices, machine communication is becoming more and more popular in 5G wireless communication systems. This paper proposes a novel MAC protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT) in a scenario with a gateway and multiple IoT devices. The IoT devices with packets (active IoT devices) send independent double-pilot(IDP). The gateway takes the number and ID of IoT devices and allocates appropriate power to IoT devices. These IoT devices adjust the power and transmit packets using the Power domain Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Protocol (PD-NOMA). Compared with the traditional single pilot scheme (TSP), the independent double-pilot can dramatically reduce the pilot collision probability, although it will probably bring a moderate increase in detection workload. Furthermore, the IDP-NOMA protocol proposed in this paper dramatically improves the system throughput and the probability of transmission success.

Authors: Chen Chen , Guo Zikai 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
With the advancement of modern science and technology, more and more computers or corpus aids used by computers or other equipment are used in translation more and more, especially in some professional fields. Due to a large number of professional words and complex topic sentence propositions, corpus-assisted translation has played an increasingly important role in our scientific translation at this stage. Furthermore, with the continuous expansion of our international medical program exchanges, the translation of medical English plays a significant role in developing our country's medical and health services and promoting other medical information. Traditional English translation cannot meet the growing demand for translation, and computer-assisted translation is a trend in translation. This paper studies the corpus-assisted medical translation based on computer technology. Firstly, it uses the literature research method to explain the characteristics of medical translation and the advantages of corpus-assisted translation, and then gives relevant suggestions for auxiliary medical translation. Finally, experiments are carried out on computer-aided corpus-assisted medical translation, and changes in the efficiency and quality of translation after medical-assisted translation are added. The experiment results show that the efficiency of the medical-assisted translation is not improved, but the quality of the translation is better. The accuracy percentage of the experimental group's translation term is 87% higher than that of the control group 65%.
