Authors: Orieke N. O. , Asaolu O.S. , Fashanu T. A. , Fasanmade O. A. 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder that affects the ability of the human body to properly utilize and regulate glucose. It is pervasive world-wide yet tenuous and costly to manage. Diabetes Mellitus is also difficult to model because it is nonlinear, dynamic and laden with mostly patient specific uncertainties. A neuro-fuzzy model for the prediction of blood glucose level in Type 1 diabetic patients using coupled insulin and meal effects is developed. This study establishes that the necessary and sufficient conditions to predict blood glucose level in a Type 1 diabetes mellitus patient are: knowledge of the patient’s insulin effects and meal effects under diverse metabolic scenarios and the transparent coupling of the insulin and meal effects. The neuro-fuzzy models were trained with data collected from a single Type 1 diabetic patient covering a period of two months. Clarke’s Error Grid Analysis (CEGA) of the model shows that 87.5% of the predictions fall into region A, while the remaining 12.5% of the predictions fall into region B within a four (4) hour prediction window. The model reveals significant variation in insulin and glucose responses as the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the patient changes.
Escherichia coli as Possible Agents of Spread of Multidrug Resistance in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) continues to be a growing global issue. The problem of MDR is fuelled in part by the spread of the genes encoding resistance horizontally which is linked particularly to conjugation involving plasmids. Studies have demonstrated the presence of plasmids in drug resistant isolates, few have shown a link between these plasmids and drug resistance via plasmid curing especially in our locale. This study set out to explore this link in Escherichia coli isolates from Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Plasmid curing was done on a selection of clinical and non-clinical bacteria using acridine orange and antibiotic susceptibility testing carried out on both cured and uncured variants. Data generated was analysed to ascertain the multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index and MDR of each isolate. Data was then compared to ascertain effects of plasmid curing on antibiotic resistance of the isolates. Results revealed a decrease in resistance to 7 of 8 antibiotics following plasmid curing. The highest change was noted in ceftazidime (40%), followed by ofloxacin (26.7%). Plasmid curing caused a shift in MAR index values of isolates from higher to lower indices. At MAR index values of ≤0.25 occurrence increased from 5% to 36.7% while at MAR index values ≥0.75, occurrence reduced from 29.9% to 10.0%. A reduction in the degree of MDR was noted (from 55% to 36.7%). Strikingly, the reduction in MDR level of non-clinical isolates was 30% as opposed to 3.4% in the clinical isolates. This study shows a link between plasmids and antibiotic resistance. For the non-clinical isolates, the high-level link between MDR and plasmid carriage could indicate a higher use of antimicrobials in non-clinical rather than clinical settings. Additionally, it could be an indicator for a higher risk of the transfer of MDR determinants from non-clinical sources to human populations in our locale.

Abstract
Environmental recreation is a fast growing industry. However, in many cases the consequences for the environment are ignored. Eilat is just such a case wherein tourism is the mainstay of the city and the Red Sea is the main attraction. Most areas are developed specifically for enhancing tourism and one of the most benign of creatures, that sits permanently on rocks and seashores, is trodden upon regularly is the Acorn Barnacle (Tetraclita squamosa rufotincta). We surveyed 10 sites with the same area for the number of barnacles that were live, dead or deserted. We compared between areas frequented by recreationists, and from which, they were denied access. We found a significantly greater number of individuals, live barnacles, and fewer deserted barnacles in the restricted areas. We conclude that the Acorn Barnacles in the undisturbed areas had significantly greater probability of survival and longevity compared to those exposed to anthropogenic activity.
Bilinear Operators on Normed Linear Spaces
Authors: Nakasho Kazuhisa 
Published: May 2019

Summary
The main aim of this article is proving properties of bilinear operators on normed linear spaces formalized by means of Mizar [1]. In the first two chapters, algebraic structures [3] of bilinear operators on linear spaces are discussed. Especially, the space of bounded bilinear operators on normed linear spaces is developed here. In the third chapter, it is remarked that the algebraic structure of bounded bilinear operators to a certain Banach space also constitutes a Banach space.
In the last chapter, the correspondence between the space of bilinear operators and the space of composition of linear opearators is shown. We referred to [4], [11], [2], [7] and [8] in this formalization.
Cross-Ratio in Real Vector Space
Authors: Coghetto Roland 
Published: May 2019

Summary
Using Mizar [1], in the context of a real vector space, we introduce the concept of affine ratio of three aligned points (see [5]).
It is also equivalent to the notion of “Mesure algèbrique”1, to the opposite of the notion of Teilverhältnis2 or to the opposite of the ordered length-ratio [9].
In the second part, we introduce the classic notion of “cross-ratio” of 4 points aligned in a real vector space.
Finally, we show that if the real vector space is the real line, the notion corresponds to the classical notion3 [9]:
The cross-ratio of a quadruple of distinct points on the real line with coordinates x

In the Mizar Mathematical Library, the vector spaces were first defined by Kusak, Leonczuk and Muzalewski in the article [6], while the actual real vector space was defined by Trybulec [10] and the complex vector space was defined by Endou [4]. Nakasho and Shidama have developed a solution to explore the notions introduced by different authors4 [7]. The definitions can be directly linked in the HTMLized version of the Mizar library5.
The study of the cross-ratio will continue within the framework of the Klein- Beltrami model [2], [3]. For a generalized cross-ratio, see Papadopoulos [8].
Structural, optical, thermal, dielectric and mechanical studies of a new organic NLO material: L-isoleucinium p-toluenesulfonate monohydrate (LIPT)
Authors: Suresh M. , Asath Bahadur S. , Athimoolam S. 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
In the present work, a new organic second order NLO material: L-isoleucinium p-toluenesulfonate monohydrate (LIPT) is synthesized and reported for the first time. The LIPT is crystallized in a non-centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21. Structural and hydrogen bond nature of the compound is analyzed using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The crystal exhibits very good optical properties such as wide optical transparency in the region of 210 nm to 1100 nm and the ultraviolet wavelength emission (λ = 283 nm). The second harmonic generation efficiency is found to be 1.7 times the standard KDP. Good thermal, mechanical properties and low dielectric constant at high frequency range show that the material may be a potential candidate for optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
Synchronous reluctance motor drives are one of the most attractive alternatives of permanent magnet synchronous motor drives and induction motor drives in the field of conventional industrial and household applications. This tendency is expected to be continued in the case of motion control applications as well. This article investigates two torque-control algorithms that are possible candidates for motion control synchronous reluctance motor applications. The examined torque-control algorithms are direct torque control (DTC) and hysteresis current vector control (HCVC).
The Impact of the 2008-2009 Global Crisis on Entrepreneurial Aspirations and Attitudes
Authors: Kaya Halil Dincer 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
We examine the impact of the Global Crisis on entrepreneurial aspirations and entrepreneurial attitudes. We focus on three aspiration variables (Growth Expectation early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity, New Product early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity, and International Orientation early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity), and eight attitude variables (Entrepreneurial Intention, Entrepreneurship as Desirable Career Choice, Fear of Failure Rate, High Status Successful Entrepreneurship, Know Startup Entrepreneur Rate, Media Attention for Entrepreneurship, Perceived Capabilities, and Perceived Opportunities). Our results show that, two of the attitude variables have changed significantly three years after the crisis. Entrepreneurial Intention is significantly higher in 2011 (i.e. three years after the crisis started) when compared to 2008, and Know Startup Entrepreneur Rate is significantly lower in 2011 when compared to 2008. On the other hand, we find no significant change in any of the aspiration variables.
Clashing Perspectives on Sustainable Development
Authors: Panţa Nancy Diana 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
We live in a world characterised by speed owing mainly to technology. Everything happens at a faster pace, from the way production and consumption takes place to the way the environment is degrading. Henceforth, sustainable development appeared in response to these consequences. However, considering that we are discussing the topic of sustainable development for over three decades now, it is probably time to bring it forward in another way and try to better understand it through opposing perspectives. Therefore, the present paper explores differing views on the discussed topic, and analyses sustainable development in relation to other similar terms, trying to provide a clear meaning of the concept. More, it looks to provide a own interpretation of sustainable development, and intends to bring forward some of the most popular and disputing models surrounding it.
Evaluation of a Pharmacist-Based Intervention to Reduce Readmissions in Geriatric High-Utilizer Patients: A Pilot Study
Authors: Turbow Sara , Shah Kruti , Penziner Katherine , Knauss Michael 
Published: May 2019

Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine if a pharmacist-led intervention to improve medication safety at hospital discharge reduced the number of hospital readmissions among geriatric high-utilizer patients. This study is the first to test a pharmacist-based intervention in a high-utilizer population.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental pilot study done at a safety-net hospital in the southeastern US. Fifty-seven patients 65 years old and older who were in the 95th percentile for number of hospital admissions in a year were included. On the day of discharge, one of the study pharmacists reviewed the discharge medication list and calculated the Medication Appropriateness Index (MAI) for each medication and reviewed for Beers Criteria. Any medication identified as potentially high-risk or inappropriate was flagged by the pharmacist and discussed with the team. The primary outcome was the number of admissions in the year following the intervention in the intervention group versus the control group.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the number of admissions, the MAI scores, or the number of medications meeting Beers Criteria between the two groups.
Conclusion: Although this study did not demonstrate a decrease in hospital admissions, it shows that pharmacist review of medications at discharge can identify potentially unnecessary medications that could lead to confusion or adverse events. Further research is necessary to identify interventions to prevent readmissions in this high-risk population.

Published: May 2019

Medical imaging history has begun with the discovery of X-rays. X-rays that are widely used since
their invention in different areas from projectional radiography to computed tomography. Year by
year their technology is improved in many aspects especially for their generation of which tubes
are changed to get the most efficient rays. Nowadays different mechanisms are studied to obtain
X-rays; one of them is pyroelectricity phenomena. Pyroelectricity is a material’s electricity
generation from temperature changes. The output spectra of the pyroelectric X-ray generator is
quite similar to traditional X-ray tubes, which gives a chance for replacing low-voltage pyroelectric
X-ray generators instead of high-voltage conventional X-ray tubes. The results of conducted
experiments and continued studies show us that the use of pyroelectricity for X-ray generation has
great advantages. More portable X-ray devices may be available in the near future, and these new
designs offer safer and easier to operate since they use only 12 Volts instead of kiloVolts. In
conclusion, healthcare technologies require high budges in general, this low-cost alternative might
make the radiological imaging available for low-income countries. In this paper, the fundamentals
of X-ray generation from pyroelectric material is reviewed, a device on the market, COOL-X, is
investigated, and both conventional method and pyroelectricity methods are compared.

PERANCANGAN PURWARUPA VERTICAL AXIS WIND TUBINE (VAWT) SKALA KECIL
Authors: Junaidin Buyung 
Published: May 2019

Konsumsi energi yang berasal dari bahan bakar fosil yang semakin tinggi dan ketersediannya di alam yang terbatas sehingga jumlahnya makin lama semakin berkurang, memaksa orang untuk mencari alternatif sumber energi lain. Energi angin menjadi salah satu energi alternatif yang penting dan diperhitungkan sejak adanya krisis energi dan isu lingkungan (polusi udara) akibat penggunaan bahan bakar fosil. Energi angin dimanfaatkan dengan cara mengubah gerakan angin menjadi energi listrik dengan turbin angin (wind turbine). Banyak turbin angin dengan skala besar yang telah dibuat atau dikembangkan di berbagai negara karena terbukti sangat efektif untuk menghasilkan energi listrik. Turbin angin skala kecil juga ikut dibuat dan dikembangkan hingga saat ini karena beberapa kelebihannya jika dibandingkan dengan turbin angin skala besar. Kelebihan itu diantaranya tidak terbatasnya daerah atau lokasi pemasangan turbin angin karena ukurannya yang kecil sehingga dapat ditempatkan di daerah seperti perkotaan. Untuk turbin angin skala kecil, jenis vertical axis wind turbine (vawt) sangatlah cocok digunakan di daerah perkotaan karena karakteristik VAWT yang dapat bergerak tanpa tergantung arah angin, hal ini sesuai dengan karakteristik angin perkotaan. Selain itu, VAWT dapat bergerak dan menghasilkan energi listrik pada kondisi kecepatan angin yang rendah. Penelitian ini fokus pada perancangan VAWT skala kecil yang dapat diaplikasikan pada kecepatan angin rendah dan berubah-ubah arah seperti karakteristik angin di perkotaan Indonesia serta analisis aerodinamika menggunakan metode double-multiple stream-tube (DMS).
