Published: July 2018

Background. Malignant colonic obstruction (MCO) it is one of the most common and severe complications of colon and rectal cancer. The mechanisms underlying MCO development include impairments in motor, secretory and resorptive functions of the intestine, disorders of water-electrolyte metabolism, endotoxicosis, and compartment syndrome. All of these conditions significantly reduce patient survival.Objective: to compare the outcomes of colonic stenting in patients with primary and secondary tumors and to assess the efficacy of surgical treatment.Material and methods. This retrospective study included 149 patients with MCO caused by both primary colon tumors and secondary compression or extra-colon tumors. All patients underwent X-ray guided colonic stenting in the N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology between 2013 and 2017.Results. Primary technical success was achieved in 143 (96 %) patients, whereas overall technical success (including restenting) was achieved in 144 (96.6 %) patients. A total of 121 (84 %) patients demonstrated complete clinical success, while 23 (15.98 %) patients had partial clinical success. The efficacy of stenting was significantly higher in patients with primary colorectal cancer than in patients with secondary lesions of the colon (96.7 % vs. 27.3 %; p <0.0001).Conclusion. Stenting is a safe and effective method of comprehensive treatment for patients with colon cancer and signs of MCO. It expands the scope of palliative care for disseminated cancer. However, in patients with extra-organ compression and secondary lesions of the colon, this procedure remains largely ineffective.
A influência do conceito de felicidade da poesia arcaica grega na literatura sapiencial judaica após o cativeiro babilônico
Authors: Torres Milton Luiz 
Published: July 2018

Este artigo apresenta uma comparação de aspectos do conceito de felicidade na poesia arcaica grega com a literatura sapiencial judaica após o cativeiro babilônico, com o objetivo de estabelecer a relação de uma com a outra. Para tanto, analisa a tensão existente entre sabedoria convencional e subversiva nas duas iteraturas, dando especial atenção a sete dimensões relativas à felicidade: a moderação, o conhecimento de si, o controle das paixões, o respeito aos próprios limites, o tipo de morte, o esquivar-se à fiança e, finalmente, a saúde. A vertente predominante da literatura sapiencial judaica é aquela expressa nos livros de Provérbios, Eclesiástico, Sabedoria e Salmos de Salomão. São os livros de Jó e Eclesiastes que requerem explicação devido a sua filiação aos apotegmas da sabedoria subversiva, incomum nos círculos judaicos. A conclusão de que essa vertente tenha se originado do contato com os gregos tem duas vantagens explanatórias: dá algum tipo de suporte à suposição tão comum entre os historiadores do judaísmo de que os processos de helenização de Israel tiveram início bem antes do século III, período geralmente apontado como época do desencadeamento de tais processos, e propõe uma solução ao menos provisória para a misteriosa incursão de uma vertente não consuetudinária na literatura sapiencial judaica.

Appositive ki Clauses in Turkish
Authors: Meral Hasan Mesut 
Published: July 2018

This study explores the post-nominal appositives formed with the so called complementizer ki in Turkish. It makes two sets of arguments: (i) Post-nominal appositives formed with ki do not form a constituent with their antecedents in syntax, instead they are formed as separate clauses, having their own illocutionary act and being opaque to syntactic operations of their host clauses, hence non-integrated in the sense of Cinque (2008), (ii) Appositive ki clauses involve neither subordination, nor coordination, rather they are ForcePs adjoining to the root clause, and this root level adjunction is characterized as concatenation without labels in the sense of Horstein (2009) and Citko (2016).

Authors: Mutaqin Faizal , Purwawangsa Handian 
Published: July 2018

Berdasarkan kajian dari Direktorat Kajian Strategis dan Kebijakan Pertanian IPB tahun 2013, di Kabupaten Bogor terdapat sekitar 9.000 ha lahan non produktif yang berpotensi dikembangkan untuk usaha dibidang pertanian dan kehutanan. Lahan merupakan salah satu modal utama pembangunan, karena dengan mengelola lahan secara optimal dapat memberikan manfaat ekonomi, sosial dan lingkungan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melakukan analisis karakteristik lahan non produktif dan mengetahui potensi lahan-lahan tersebut untuk usaha hutan rakyat. Keberadaan lahan non produktif yang berada di Kecamatan Leuwiliang dan Leuwisadeng disebabkan banyak faktor, yaitu ketidaktahuan pemilik terhadap potensi lahan yang dimilikinya, tidak memiliki modal yang cukup dalam upaya pengelolaan lahan non produktif serta mengalami kebangkrutan dalam usaha yang telah dijalankan sebelumnya. Upaya pengelolaan lahan non produktif sangat dibutuhkan untuk mengurangi anomali jumlah lahan yang tidak diberdayakan. Lahan non produktif yang berada di wilayah Kecamatan Leuwiliang dan Leuwisadeng sangat berpotensi untuk usaha hutan rakyat dan dipadukan dengan agroforestry.

Published: July 2018

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the pricing European call option valuation problems under the exercise price, maturity, risk-free interest rate, and the volatility function. An advance methodology, Chebyshev simulated annealing neural network (ChSANN), is enforced for the Black-Scholes (B-S) model with boundary conditions. Our scheme is stable and easy to implement on B-S equation, for arbitrary volatility and arbitrary interest rate values. Also, the comparative results demonstrate that the attained approximate solutions are converging towards the exact solution. The graphical results show that the increasing flow of the European call option as the exponential increase takes place in assets. The presented algorithm can be further applied to other financial models with certain boundary conditions. The algorithm of the method shows that the approach can also be easily employed on time-fractional B-S equation.

Authors: Dai Li , Xie Zheng 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Given n vertices in a plane and UCAV going through each vertex once and only once and then coming back, the objective is to find the direction (heading) of motion in each vertex to minimize the smooth path of bounded curvature. This paper studies the headings of UCAV. First, the optimal headings for two vertices were given. On this basis, an n-player two-strategy game theoretic model was established. In addition, in order to obtain the mixed Nash equilibrium efficiently, n linear equations were set up. The simulation results demonstrated that the headings given in this paper are effective.

Published: July 2018

<em>The cup quality of Arabica coffee is influenced not only by its cultivar, but also the altitudes and bean processing techniques. However, the interaction between those three factors has not been widely reported. The research aimed to analyze the quality attributes of four Arabica coffee cultivars grown at different altitudes as well as processed by different methods. The study was conducted at coffee plantations in Kampung Legok Gede at 1,400 m above sea level (asl) and Pasir Geulis at 1,700 m asl, Margamulya Village, Cikajang District, Garut Regency; Indonesian Industrial and Beverages Crop Research Institute (Balittri), Sukabumi; and Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute, Jember, from April until November 2017. Data were analyzed by anova of completely randomized design in factorial three factors and two replications. The first factor is cultivars, the second factor is altitude, and the third factor is processing method. Correlation and path analysis were also used in this study. The result showed significant interaction between three tested treatments on aftertaste and body attributes. The cultivars factor significantly influenced the total score, balance, and overall attributes. The altitudes factor has significant effect on total score and flavor attribute, meanwhile processing methods exhibited significant effect on total score, aroma, and flavor attributes. All of the coffee quality attributes highly correlated with the total score, whereas the overall attribute has the strongest direct effect.</em>
Preoperative Albumin Level Serves as a Predictor for Postoperative Pulmonary Complications Following Elective Laparoscopic Gastrectomy
Authors: Chen Yun , Wu Guorong , Wang Ruichun , Chen Junping 
Published: July 2018

Objective: Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (PPCs) can contribute to increased mortality and
prolonged hospital stay in surgical patients with Gastric Cancer (GC). This study aimed to investigate potential
risk factors for PPCs in elderly GC patients following elective laparoscopic gastrectomy.

Methods:
Eligible consecutive elderly GC patients (aged over 65 years) who were scheduled to undergo elective
laparoscopic gastrectomy were enrolled in this study. The demographic, clinicopathological characteristics and
laboratory variables were compared in patients with or without PPCs within postoperative 30 days. Risk factors
for PPCs were analyzed by multiple logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve
analysis.

Results:
35 of all the 262 enrolled patients have developed PPCs with an incidence of 13.4%. Age, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure (CHF), forced expiratory volume in one second/
forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio, duration of operation, hemoglobin, albumin and C-reactive protein
(CRP) were potential risk factors for PPCs by univariate analysis. The preoperative albumin level was the only
independent risk factor for PPCs (OR: 1.15, 95%CI: 1.06-1.28, P=0.011) by multiple logistic regression analysis.
Preoperative albumin level was a predictor for PPCs with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.728 and a cut-off
value of 33.8 mg/dl (specificity: 54.19%, sensitivity: 77.14%, P<0.001).

Conclusions:
Preoperative albumin level was an independent risk factor for PPCs in elderly GC patients after
elective laparoscopic gastrectomy.

Published: July 2018

Background and Objective: Antimycin A (AntA) is a potent Electron Transport System (ETS) inhibitor exerting its effect through inhibiting the transfer of the electrons by binding to the quinone reduction site of the cytochrome bc1 complex (Complex III), which is known to be impaired in Huntington’s Disease (HD). The current studies were undertaken to investigate the effect of complex III inhibition in the SH-SY5Y cell line to delineate the molecular and cellular processes, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of HD.Methods:We treated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells with AntA in order to establish an in vitro mitochondrial dysfunction model for HD. Differential proteome analysis was performed by the nLCMS/ MS system. Protein expression was assessed by western blot analysis.Results:Thirty five differentially expressed proteins as compared to the vehicle-treated controls were detected. Functional pathway analysis indicated that proteins involved in ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway were up-regulated in AntA-treated SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and the ubiquitinated protein accumulation was confirmed by immunoblotting. We found that Prothymosin α (ProT α) was downregulated. Furthermore, we demonstrated that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein expression was co-regulated with ProT α expression, hence knockdown of ProT α in SH-SY5Y cells decreased Nrf2 protein level.Conclusion:Our findings suggest that complex III impairment might downregulate ubiquitinproteasome function and NRF2/Keap1 antioxidant response. In addition, it is likely that downregulation of Nrf2 is due to the decreased expression of ProT α in AntA-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Our results could advance the understanding of mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative diseases.
To Minimize Fault Report and Bug Fixing Time using an Efficient Integration of Instance and Aspect Preferment Algorithm
Authors: Maharasan K.S. , Saravanan V. 
Published: July 2018

Background:
Data mining is an emerged and promising technology, and it utilized in
the software engineering development process. It does not only enhance the accurateness, it also
improves the reliability of the software. A software development application error is a fault or bug
in a computer program. It produces wrong or unexpected outcomes. In traditional software development,
faults manually triaged through a specialist developer, i.e., a human being triaged.

Methods:
Manual fault triage takes long time and produce low accuracy for the huge amount of
faults. To resolve above issues, An Efficient Integration of Instance and Aspect Preferment Algorithm
(EIIAPA) is proposed to decrease the scale of fault report data concurrently and to enhance
the accurateness of data.

Results & Conclusion:
The proposed technique helps to validate & verify software application in
effective way. Reduction of data on fault triage aims to construct a high-superiority set of fault data
in the small-scale system through eliminating the fault report. To applying an algorithm, fault
data set and attributes are extracted from every fault data set and train a predictive model based on
the historical dataset. Based on Experimental evaluations, proposed methodology reduces 0.06 ET
(Execution Time), and improves 0.5 P (Precision), 0.75 R (Recall), 0.39 F-M (F-Measure) and
5.07% (accuracy) compared than existing methodologies.

Authors: Hemalatha N. , Nageswari S. 
Published: July 2018

Background:
Position sensorless control technique for Permanent Magnets-Brush Less
Direct Current (PM-BLDC) motor drive is considered in this paper.

Materials and Methods:
A new estimation based on sensorless technique is proposed for PMBLDC
motor. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is aided for the purpose.

Results:
The inputs to the ANN are the voltages of PM-BLDC motor and it estimates the sample
signals to feed Zero Crossing Point (ZCP) detection circuit. The ZCP detection circuit provides
ZCP signals for commutation logic which gives the commutation sequence to power switches. In
order to provide the correct sample signal to ZCP detection circuit, the ANN is well trained by
Genetic Algorithm (GA). The proposed sensor less control model is implemented in
MATLAB/SIMULINK working platform.

Conclusion:
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is used to implement the proposed method.

Published: July 2018

Background:In recent research, time synchronization has a great importance in the various application of wireless sensor network. Localization, tracking, message passing using contention-based schemes and communication are some of the fields where synchronization between sensor clocks is highly required. Therefore, several algorithms were designed to achieve a rational and reliable frame of time within the wireless sensor network. Patents related to time synchronization in WSN were also analyzed.Methods:This paper discusses the powerful statistical tool using maximum probability theory for synchronizing the time within the sensor's clock. In this paper, maximum probability theory is applied to estimate the best value of clock offset between two sensor clocks. The proposed algorithm is analyzed by exchanging timing messages between nodes using two-way message exchange schemes.Results:The proposed algorithm is also implemented along with a Time-Sync Protocol for Sensor Network. It reduces error deviation from 2.32 to 0.064 ms as compared with Time-Sync Protocol for Sensor Network without proposed works.Conclusion:It was observed that for a small network, proposed work gives better and efficient results with Time-Sync Protocol for Sensor Network.

Authors: Meller Christian , Schott Timm 
Published: July 2018

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To investigate the integrity of a fluorescing resin-based sealant placed around orthodontic brackets using the Fluorescence-aided Identification Technique (FIT).

Materials and Methods:
Standard brackets were bonded to the buccal surfaces of 17 extracted sound permanent premolar crowns sealed with ProSeal®. Specimens were thermocycled (20,000 cycles, 5–55°C), and toothbrushing was simulated using an electric toothbrush and artificial aqueous toothpaste slurry. Changes in the sealed area were measured after one, two, three, and four alternating thermocycling-brushing cycles simulating 2 years of wear. Digital images were captured applying FIT (405 nm) using a digital camera–equipped stereomicroscope. ImageJ was used to measure sealant integrity and loss.

Results:
There was a time-dependent decrease in sealed areas by between 21% and 100% (mean 54%). The sealant lost its integrity immediately after the first cycle, and unfilled areas were observed in all samples.

Conclusions:
The analyzed sealant lost its integrity over time. Using the proposed FIT, sealed surfaces were easily verified and quantified.
