Authors: Kang JingJie , Zhang Lijun , Yang Xiaoyu , Wang Ruolan , zhao Tianhao , cao Huake , Sang Jiarong 
Published: October 2024

Introduction:
Bolt loosening detection plays a crucial role in ensuring structural safety.
Existing research using deep learning methods has the drawback of being applicable to limited
scenarios and typically requires at least two frames of images for comparison in subsequent angle
detection, with a limited range of detectable angles. Method: In this study, a color segmentation
method was first used to separate the red square gasket placed between the bolt and the base,
thereby locating the bolt area; then, the image was perspective-corrected using the four corners of
the red square gasket; finally, the red mark bars on the bolt and base were separated using the same
color segmentation method, and the geometric moments of the connected domains of the mark bars
were processed, combined with vector processing techniques, to achieve quantified detection of
bolt loosening angles within 0~360 degrees using a single frame image. In the verification experiments,
150 images were collected from different shooting angles and distances, and the bolt areas
to be tested were located using the color segmentation method, all with an IOU (Intersection over
Union) greater than 0.9317. Subsequent experiments set different variables, including different
shooting distances, bolt loosening angles, perspective angles, lighting conditions, bolt types, and
image rotation angles. Result: The results demonstrated that the method presented in this study
could accurately detect bolt loosening angles in multiple scenarios. Conclusion: Hence, it is capable
of measuring loosening angles within the range of 0~360 degrees using only a single frame image.

Corn (Zea mays L.) is a strategic commodity after rice so that the productivity need to be optimize through nitrogen fertilization. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of various doses of urea fertilizer on the growth rate and yield of hybrid corn and local corn. This research was conducted from June to October 2022 on the pilot land of the Agricultural Training Center (Bapeltan), Hajimena, Bandar Lampung. The factorial experiment (5x2) was arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The first factor is urea fertilizer doses, namely: 200 kg/ha (N1), 250 kg/ha (N2), 300 kg/ha (N3), 350 kg/ha (N4) and 400 kg/ha (N5), while other fertilizers were given to all experimental plots in the same rate (150 SP-36 kg/ha and 100 kg KCl kg/ha). The second factor is the corn variety, included V1 (BISI-18) and V2 (Tongkol Merah) varieties. The results showed that increasing dose of urea from 200 to 400 kg/ha was not able to increase the growth rate of both corn varieties. The productivity of the BISI-18 corn variety is higher than that of the Tongkol Merah as indicated by the wet weight of the cobs (g), the dry weight of grains per plot (g), and the yield of corn dry grains (tons/ha). The yield of dry corn seeds for the BISI-18 corn variety was 11.7 tons/ha, while for the Tongkol Merah variety was 9.44 tons/ha.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To determine clinical outcome, treatment costs, and hospitalization duration in horses treated for keratomycosis and identify ophthalmic examination and diagnostic results associated with these outcomes.

METHODS
This was a retrospective study of 126 equine keratomycosis cases between 2004 and 2020 with fungal infection confirmed on cytology, culture, and/or histopathology and a minimum of 1-month follow-up. Details of the ophthalmic examination, diagnostic test results, and treatment and cost outcomes were recorded. Outcomes of interest were analyzed by treatment type. The relationship of patient and diagnostic test variables to the outcomes of interest was determined via logistic and linear regression models.

RESULTS
Globe retention and positive visual outcome occurred in 82.5% and 78.9% of medically and 88.4% and 85.5% of surgically treated cases, respectively. While not statistically significant, there were more positive clinical outcomes with surgery; in recent years, the globe and vision were preserved in 94.7% of cases following penetrating keratoplasty. The choice to pursue surgery was related to lesion depth. Medical treatment was associated with statistically shorter hospitalization times and lower total and hospitalization invoices compared to all surgical treatments. Diagnosis of stromal abscess was associated with higher total invoice and longer hospitalization times compared to ulcerative keratomycosis, although clinical outcomes were similar.

CONCLUSIONs
Overall positive clinical outcomes were achieved despite the severity of the disease in many cases, highlighting the need for appropriate treatment selection based on clinical presentation.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Expanding knowledge of clinical decision-making, treatment options, and associated clinical and financial outcomes may further improve outcomes for equine keratomycosis patients.

Authors: Malim Ahmed , Mourousias Nikolaos , Marinus Benoît G. , De Troyer Tim 
Published: October 2024

This paper presents a structural optimization of a 3D-printed thermoplastic-core propeller blade for high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles using a genetic algorithm. It aims to minimize the weight of the blade by creating longitudinal holes and spars and to minimize the blade tip deflection during operation at an altitude of 16 km. The objective is to check the validity of a 3D-printed material modeling approach for large-scale and more complex 3D-printed parts, such as hollow twisted blades. The approach is based on attentively selecting the printing parameters that reduce the anisotropy of the 3D-printed parts. The linear isotropic behavior of 3D-printed Polylactic Acid and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene M30 tensile samples, which have been tested at ambient and low temperatures ([Formula: see text]), is utilized to numerically predict the experimental deformation and natural frequencies of 3D-printed substitute and twisted full blades with good accuracy. The validated linear isotropic model of each material is then used to evaluate the objectives and the constraints of the two-objective optimization process using one-way fluid–structure interaction. Four optimized blades have been selected from the Pareto fronts as candidates, printed, and tested in bending and vibration. The numerical and experimental results of the candidate blades in terms of deformation and natural frequencies are in good agreement, proving the validity of the present macroscale approach for large-scale hollow twisted blades.

Published: October 2024

Background & objectives
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) cause progressive symptoms and decline in lung functions which impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Although HRQoL is gaining wider acceptance as an endpoint for disease perception, limited data is available regarding the same in Indians with ILD. Hence, this study was undertaken to assess HRQoL and its correlation with lung function parameters in individuals with ILD in a tertiary care setting in south India.

Methods
A hundred and fifty-nine consecutive patients with ILD were recruited between June 2022 to December 2023. HRQoL was assessed using the ILD specific K-BILD, generic EQ-5D-5L and an adapted version of the validated PESaM questionnaires. Correlation between various domains of the three questionnaires and lung function parameters was analyzed followed by linear regression analysis.

Results
The study population consisted predominantly of females (64.1%), with CTD-ILD being the most common ILD (40.8%). HRQoL impairment was noted, predominantly affecting the ‘breathlessness and activity’ domain and significant correlation was noted between K-BILD and EQ-5D-5L across domains. On regression analysis, FVC, 6-minute walk distance and desaturation were independent predictors of HRQoL. Type of ILD and disease duration did not have a significant association with HRQoL measures.

Interpretation & conclusions
‘Breathlessness and activity’ domain of HRQoL was affected the most in participants with ILD. Forced vital capacity, six-minute walk distance and exercise induced desaturation were independent predictors of HRQoL among individuals with ILD.

Published: October 2024

Background & objectives
Oral and genital HPV infection in men may be a source of cervical diseases in their women partners as well as disease in themselves. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the performance of Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) in physician-collected cervical samples and qPCR in self-collected urine and oral gargle samples of women and men, respectively, for hr-HPV infection status and genotyping.

Methods
One thousand and two hundred biological samples were collected from 200 women (urine, oral gargle, and cervical smear) and 200 men (urine and oral gargle) visiting a referral hospital in the remote Himalayan State of Sikkim. The extracted genomic DNA from urine and gargle samples were profiled for hr-HPV genotypes using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and HC2 for cervical samples.

Results
In women, hr-HPV was detected in 17.5 per cent of cervical samples by HC2, 25.5 per cent of urine, and 7 per cent of gargle samples by qPCR. For men, hr-HPV was detected in 8 per cent urine and 5 per cent gargle samples by qPCR. Among the HPV-positive women, 56 per cent of urine samples and 20 per cent of oral samples showed single-genotype infection, while the remaining had multiple genotypes. Amongst the HPV-positive men, 62.7 per cent of urine samples and 85.7 per cent of oral samples showed single-genotype infection while the remaining had multiple genotypes. Compared to Pap, the area under ROC was good for HC2 (AUC=0.89) and for qPCR (AUC= 0.852).

Interpretation & conclusions
HC2 for cervical and qPCR-based HPV DNA assay for urine and gargle sample is suitable for risk profiling for cervical cancer (CC) and oral cancer (OC) screening programmes.
