Published: June 2019

Dalam menentukan luas objek persegi, persegi panjang, dan lingkaran diperlukanlah sebuah penggaris untuk mendapatkan nilai luasannya, agar lebih mudah dan praktis dapat dibantu dengan sebuah web camera dengan cara mengcapture gambar sampel objek yang ingin diketahui luasnya. Image Prosessing adalah suatu proses yang digunakan untuk mengolah citra atau gambar untuk mendapatkan citra yang lebih bagus mengunakan perangkat sistem komputer. Untuk mendapatkan perolehan panjang (X,Y) dari gambar dapat diukur setelah melewati beberapa tahapan di image prosessing yaitu dengan konversi citra dari RGB, HSV dan deteksi tepi canny, lalu terdapatlah nilai luasan dari hasil pengukuran objek. Metode Canny sendiri merupakan deteksi tepi paling baik ketika digunakan untuk mendeteksi tepi objek,Â sehingga hasil deteksi tepi tersebut dapat diambil informasi yang berguna dari citra tersebut. Dengan pengukuran luas secara manual dan secara otomatis terdapat presentase error kurang lebih 5%, hasil luas objek tersebut sudah cukup akurat namun terdapat masalah jika dalam pembuatan objek kurang presisi, peletakan objek yang miring/kurang tegap dan pencahayaan yang kurang mengakibatkan kurangnya tingkat akurasi.In determining the area of a square, rectangle, and circle object a ruler is needed to get the area value, so that it can be easier and more practical to be assisted by a web camera by capturing the image of the object sample that you want to know the area. Image Prosessing is a process used to process images or images to get better images using computer system devices. To get the long gain (X, Y) from the image can be measured after passing through several stages in image processing that is by image conversion from RGB, HSV and canny edge detection, then there is an area value from the object measurement results. The Canny method itself is the best edge detection when used to detect the edge of an object, so that the useful information of the edge detection can be retrieved from the image. With the area measurement manually and automatically there is a percentage error of approximately 5%, the object's width results are quite accurate but there is a problem if the object is less precise in making objects, sloping / less robust object laying and less lighting result in a lack of accuracy.

Objective.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a well-known extraarticular feature of spondyloarthritis (SpA). The aims of this study were to evaluate factors associated with IBD and incidence over 5 years of followup in the DESIR cohort.Methods.DESIR is a prospective observational cohort of patients with recent-onset inflammatory back pain suggestive of axial SpA. All available variables in the database were compared between patients with and without IBD at baseline and 5 years, and occurrence over 5 years of followup, with uni- and then multivariable analysis.Results.At baseline, of 708 patients, 35 had IBD (prevalence 4.94%, CI 95% 3.3–6.5). IBD was associated (multivariable) with history of uveitis, levels of Dickkopf-1, and tumor necrosis factor, but not with phenotypic presentation (peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, uveitis) or baseline serum levels of other cytokines. At 5 years, 480 patients were analyzed, 58 with IBD. IBD was associated (multivariable) with fulfillment of modified New York criteria, sick leave, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, and smoking. There was no association with magnetic resonance imaging scores, enthesitis, psoriasis, and bone mineral density. Twenty-three incident cases of IBD were recorded: estimated occurrence rate of 0.95/100 (95% CI 0.57–1.35) patient-years (PY). Incidence of IBD is associated (multivariable) with HLA-B27 (OR 0.36, 95% CI 0.22–0.59), fulfillment of modified New York criteria (OR 3.35, 95% CI 1.85–6.08), and familial history of IBD (OR 3.31, 95% CI 1.62–6.77).Conclusion.In early SpA, IBD occurs with an incidence of 1/100 PY, and is associated with poor outcome, familial history of IBD, absence of HLA-B27, and fulfillment of modified New York criteria.

Published: June 2019

Objective.To assess the independent association of insurance and patient income with total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) outcomes.Methods.We used the 1998–2014 US National Inpatient Sample. We used multivariable-adjusted logistic regression to examine whether insurance type and the patient’s median household income (based on postal code) were independently associated with healthcare use (discharge destination, hospital stay duration, total hospital charges) and in-hospital complications post-TSA based on the diagnostic codes (fracture, infection, transfusion, or revision surgery). We calculated the OR and 95% CI.Results.Among the 349,046 projected TSA hospitalizations, the mean age was 68.6 years, 54% were female, and 73% white. Compared to private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare (government insurance) users were associated with significantly higher adjusted OR (95% CI) of (1) discharge to a rehabilitation facility, 2.16 (1.72–2.70) and 2.27 (2.04–2.52); (2) hospital stay > 2 days, 1.65 (1.45–1.87) and 1.60 (1.52–1.69); and (3) transfusion, 1.35 (1.05–1.75) and 1.39 (1.24–1.56), respectively. Medicaid was associated with a higher risk of fracture [1.74 (1.07–2.84)] and Medicare user with a higher risk of infection [2.63 (1.24–5.57)]; neither were associated with revision. Compared to the highest income quartile, the lowest income quartile was significantly associated with (OR, 95% CI): (1) discharge to a rehabilitation facility (0.89, 0.83–0.96); (2) hospital stay > 2 days (0.84, 0.80–0.89); (3) hospital charges above the median (1.19, 1.14–1.25); (4) transfusion (0.73, 0.66–0.81); and (5) revision (0.49, 0.30–0.80), but not infection or fracture.Conclusion.This information can help to risk-stratify patients post-TSA. Future assessments of modifiable mediators of these complications are needed.

The microbial mediated production of bio-ethanol from the rhizome of Imperata cylindrica (spear grass) was carried out in this research work. Proximate analysis of the rhizome was done to determine the protein, carbohydrate, moisture, ash, lipid, and fibre contents. Sugar profile analysis was carried out using Gas Chromatography (GC). The sugars obtained from the rhizome include ribose, xylose, arabinose, rhamnose, fructose, glucose, maltose, lactose, and sucrose. Ethanol yield increased simultaneously from day 5 to day 20 for all reactors in six different experimental design i.e, Saccharomyces cerevisiae alone; Serratia marcescens alone, Aspergillus flavus + Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Apergillus flavus + Saccharomyces cerevisiae + Serratia marcescens; Aspergillus flavus + Serratia marcescens including the control (containing no microorganism). The highest ethanol yield was achieved at pH 7 and temperature range between 280C to 380C. The reducing sugar decreased from 0.37 to 0.03 g/mol as the period of incubation increased while cell density increased from 0.1 to 0.68 nm as the period of incubation increased. Reactor containing co-cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Serratia marcescens and Aspergillus flavus in combination produced the highest ethanol yield at day 20 while the reactor containing only Serratia sp produced the lowest ethanol yield. This study has demonstrated that the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Serratia marcescens and Aspergillus flavus co-cultures is more effective in bio-ethanol production using I. cylindrica (spear grass) compared to individual cultures.

Aggression against middle and high school teachers: Duration of victimization and its negative impacts
Authors: Moon Byongook , McCluskey John , Morash Merry 
Published: June 2019

AbstractPrior research indicates that student aggression against teachers is widespread, and it has negative impacts on victimized teachers’ emotional and physical well‐being and job performance. However, little is known about the relationship between the recency and duration of victimization and teachers’ thoughts about quitting the teaching profession and related job dissatisfaction and disconnectedness to school. Analyses of data from a longitudinal study of 1,236 US teachers fills these gaps. The study found that many teachers experienced theft/vandalism and sexual harassment victimization that was limited to just 1 year. In contrast, sizeable proportions of teachers experienced verbal abuse and nonphysical contact aggression that occurred over 2 years. Multiple regression analyses showed that teachers who reported recent or multiyear victimization had lower levels of connectedness to school, less job satisfaction, and more thoughts about ending their teaching careers. These results may indicate that unless victimization recurs, negative effects of victimization are contemporaneous and are less likely to persist. Additional research is needed to examine victimization over longer than 2 years, investigate the effects of the frequency of different types of aggression against teachers, and identify school policies and interventions that weaken the connection of victimization to negative outcomes.

AbstractThis article reports on the effect of silver nanoparticles (NPs), used as active fillers, on the piezoelectric response of polymer composites. In particular, it is demonstrated that the application of a periodic electric field drives a collective drift of surface atoms of the NPs along the field direction (“electrokinetic effect”) which, in turn, creates macroscopic reversible tensile states. Overdriving the system, in high‐field conditions, the electronic current is counterbalanced by a massive injection of Ag+ ions into the matrix, producing a metastable exceptional expansion of the device. For similitude with the converse piezoelectric effect, it has been called the converse piezo–electro–kinetic effect. By using in situ spectroscopy, vibrometric analysis, real‐time UV‐visible spectroscopy, in situ electrical transmission electron microscopy, and in qualitative form ab initio and finite element method numerical simulations, i) the injection of ions from the NPs to the matrix, ii) the surface migration‐induced NP reshaping, and iii) the NP migration and consequent percolation path adjustments are shown. The implications of this study are significant for the development of ultrafast soft ionic actuators and create the premises for a broad range of applications in smart materials and devices.

Published: June 2019

AbstractThe utilization of solar radiation to trigger photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting has gained interest for sustainable energy production. In this study, attention is focused on the development of ZnO–TiO2 nanocomposite photoanodes. The target systems are obtained by growing porous arrays of highly crystalline, elongated ZnO nanostructures on indium tin oxide (ITO) by chemical vapor deposition. Subsequently, the obtained nanodeposits are functionalized with TiO2 via radio frequency‐sputtering for different process durations, and subjected to final annealing in air. Characterization results demonstrate the successful formation of high purity composite systems in which the surface of ZnO nanostructures is decorated by ultra‐small amounts of amorphous titania, whose content can be conveniently tailored as a function of deposition time. Photocurrent density measurements in sunlight‐triggered water splitting highlight a remarkable performance enhancement with respect to single‐phase zinc and titanium oxides, with up to a threefold photocurrent increase compared to bare ZnO. These results, mainly traced back to the formation of ZnO/TiO2 heterojunctions yielding an improved photocarrier separation, show that the target nanocomposites are attractive photoanodes for efficient PEC water splitting.
Insights from Machine Learning Techniques for Predicting the Efficiency of Fullerene Derivatives‐Based Ternary Organic Solar Cells at Ternary Blend Design
Authors: Lee Min‐Hsuan 
Published: June 2019

AbstractTernary organic solar cells (OSCs) have progressed significantly in recent years due to the sufficient photon harvesting of the blend photoactive layer including three absorption‐complementary materials. With the rapid development of highly efficient ternary OSCs in photovoltaics, the precise energy‐level alignment of the three active components within ternary OSC devices should be taken into account. The machine‐learning technique is a computational method that can effectively learn from previous historical data to build predictive models. In this study, a dataset of 124 fullerene derivatives‐based ternary OSCs is manually constructed from a diverse range of literature along with their frontier molecular orbital theory levels, and device structures. Different machine‐learning algorithms are trained based on these electronic parameters to predict photovoltaic efficiency. Thus, the best predictive capability is provided by using the Random Forest approach beyond other machine‐learning algorithms in the dataset. Furthermore, the Random Forest algorithm yields valuable insights into the crucial role of lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels of organic donors in the performance of ternary OSCs. The outcome of this study demonstrates a smart strategy for extracting underlying complex correlations in fullerene derivatives‐based ternary OSCs, thereby accelerating the development of ternary OSCs and related research fields.

Published: June 2019

AbstractObjectivesTo test the individual effectiveness of common landmarks used in sex estimation of whole adult coxal bones in sex‐based shape analysis and propose a method to determine how many principal components of sex‐based shape to include for discriminant function analysis.MethodsThree‐dimensional models (NextEngine desktop laser scanner) of left and right os coxae from 396 individuals (William Bass Skeletal Collection, Forensic Anthropology Centre, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN) were subjected to shape analysis using 32 landmarks (Landmark 3.6, Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization). Each landmark was individually removed and subjected to a new principal component analysis to identify the effect omitting a landmark has on PC1/PC2 ordination. Landmarks that poorly discriminated sex‐based shape were considered redundant for analysis on sex estimation.ResultsThis study identified 17 landmarks that represent sex‐based shape of right and left coxal bones most effectively, these are: the anterior superior iliac spine; posterior superior iliac spine; posterior inferior iliac spine; iliac crest; apex of the auricular surface; greater sciatic notch; ischial spine; superior, inferior and distal points on ischial tuberosity; superior, inferior and midpoint on the symphyseal face; arcuate eminence; ischiopubic ramus; posterosuperior and anterosuperior points on the acetabular rim. The first and second PCs of the 17‐landmark configuration correctly predicted sex in 98.5% of cases; better than a 32‐landmark configuration (96%) and better than previous landmark studies on whole coxal bone sex‐based shape.ConclusionsThese 17 landmarks represent more meaningful data for sex‐based shape analysis in PC1 and 2 and concentrate meaningful sex‐based shape data to the first five PCs that make up over 50% of the total shape variance.

AbstractThe facile preparation of alkali salts of phosphanyl cyanophosphides [NHP‐PCN]− (NHP=N‐heterocyclic phosphenium) is reported. Their formation is achieved by isoelectronic replacement of O for [N]− in the phosphaketenes NHP‐PCO using alkaline hexamethyldisilazide M[N(SiMe3)2] (M=Na, K) as reagent. The new anionic entities are versatile PCN building blocks which allow the formation of a diversity of new cyanophosphine derivates including the first example of a PCNB hetero‐cumulene and a PCN‐ligated transition metal complex.
