Abstract

Image deblurring is a crucial task in computer vision, aiming to recover sharp images from blurry inputs caused by camera shake, motion blur, or other factors. Traditional methods often struggle with complex or severe blur, particularly in high-resolution images. Recent advancements in deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs), have shown promise but have limitations in capturing long-range dependencies and computational efficiency. In this paper, we propose a novel image deblurring approach that integrates the strengths of Vision Transformers and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) sparsity. Our method leverages a Vision Transformer architecture designed for image restoration tasks to preprocess blurry images, efficiently capturing both local and global features to reduce blurriness. This is followed by post-processing using FFT with ReLU sparsity, which targets and removes blur-related frequencies while preserving image sharpness and clarity. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method produces sharper, more visually appealing images compared to state-of-the-art models. Furthermore, subjective human evaluations alongside traditional metrics such as PSNR and SSIM provide comprehensive evidence of the practical effectiveness of our deblurring technique. Our results indicate that the proposed method not only excels in quantitative measures but also significantly enhances perceptual image quality, making it highly suitable for real-world applications.

Аритмология у Макробия: греческое знание в латинской культуре
Authors: М.С. Петрова 
Published: October 2024

В разделе книги обсуждается аритмологическая составляющая «Комментария на “Сон Сципиона”» (I, 5–7) Макробия в контексте латинской культуры V века. Выявляется зависимость латинского автора от предшествующего греческого научного знания, показана его «избирательность» при изложении учения о числах священной пифагорейской десятки, неразрывно связанного с мирозданием. Демонстрируется, что Макробиева трактовка пифагорейской арифметики близка к тому, что можно найти в «Изложении математических предметов, полезных при чтении Платона» Теона Смирнского, «Введении в арифметику» Никомаха Геразского, «О сотворении мира» и «Правилах аллегории» Филона Александрийского, «Аттических ночах» Авла Геллия, «Комментарии к “Тимею” Платона» Калкидия, «Теологуменах арифметики» пс.-Ямвлиха, «О бракосочетании Филологии и Меркурия» Марциана Капеллы и др.
The section of the book discusses the arrhythmological component of Macrobius’ “Commentary on the Dream of Scipio” (I, 5–7) in the context of the Latin culture of the 5th century. The dependence of the Latin author on the previous Greek scientific knowledge is revealed, and his “selectivity” in presenting the doctrine of the numbers of the sacred Pythagorean ten, inextricably linked with the Universe, is shown. It is demonstrated that Macrobius’ treatment of Pythagorean arithmetic is close to what can be found in Theon of Smyrna’s “On Mathematics Useful for the Understanding of Plato”, Nicomachus of Gerasa’s “Introduction to Arithmetic”, Philo of Alexandria’s “On the Creation of the World”, Aulus Gellius’ “Attic Nights”, Calcidius’ “Commentary on Plato’s Timaeus”, Ps. Iamblichus’ “Theologumena of Arithmetic”, Martianus Capella’s “On the Marriage of Philology and Mercury”, and others. Keywords: Macrobius, doctrine of numbers, Pythagorean arithmetic, creation of the Universe.

ABSTRACT
Monitoring the drought progression over time is a critical responsibility to identify the changing trends of this phenomenon. This study aims to assess drought hazard based on the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) using satellite-derived precipitation combined with ground station data on the Google Earth Engine cloud computing platform. The study employs the Mann-Kendall test and Sen's slope method to evaluate the reliability of the SPI 1, 3, 6, 9, and SPI12 indices. The results show that SPI12 values have the highest reliability, 12/12 months having p values &lt;0.05. In addition, the study also combines rainfall data collected from the Center for Hydrometeorology and Remote Sensing (CHRS) and field observational data to assess the correlation with SPI calculated from CHIRPS (Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation). Results demonstrate that the SPI12 derived from CHIRPS correlates well with SPI12 from CHRS and observational data, as evidenced by the statistical coefficients. Furthermore, the study simulated the characteristics of droughts across the Hoa Vang district based on the Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation to assess the fluctuations of SPI values. The research findings facilitate understanding the impacts of droughts on the natural environment and socio-economics, especially in the agricultural sector in Hoa Vang district, Da Nang City.

ABSTRACT

Climate-change risks impact nations and it is essential to model climates to investigate potential meteorological and hydrological droughts at the selected ungauged watersheds (Gilgel Abay, Gumara, Megech, and Ribb). The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Reconnaissance Drought Index (RDI) were used to analyze meteorological droughts for six- and 12-month periods and for hydrological droughts, the Streamflow Drought Index (SDI) was used. All indices were studied under near (2020–2049) and mid-future (2050–2079) periods using representative concentration pathways (RCPs) of 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. The result shows that 18.10% of maximum hydrological drought (SDI12) frequency occurred for all scenarios and time-domains except RCP8.5 in the near-period. The highest drought annual time-scale (SPI12) and regional time-scale (RDI12) droughts were recorded at close intervals at 19.83% frequency under the near-period of both scenarios, respectively. The spatiotemporal distribution of meteorological drought at ungauged Megech is more vulnerable to extreme drought with the maximum magnitude recorded in SPI6 and RDI6 (about 3.5) by 2060 under RCP4.5. The SDI6 index also indicates that ungauged Gilgel Abay may experience acute drought shortly. This study is highly significant, particularly for climate researchers looking to implement climate-adaptation mechanisms in the Lake Tana sub-basin.

ABSTRACT
The Zhengzhou Reach of the Yellow River (YR) frequently undergoes significant channel changes during flooding, leading to bank erosion, deposition, and bed incision. These changes result in adverse impacts such as land loss, channel movement, and overbank flooding. This study proposes a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model combined with rough set theory (RST) to simulate these phenomena in the alluvial channel of the YR. The model was calibrated and validated using data from 2006 to 2018. Results demonstrate that the model accurately predicts bank erosion and bed incision, with predicted widths closely matching measured data. The mean error was 14 m in 2006 and 18 m in 2018. The most severe erosion was observed 78 m downstream of Huayuankou, with the river bed incised by 3.7–4.9 m along the right bank. Based on RST, the shear stress, velocity, width/depth ratio, gradient, suspended sediment, and bed load are the dominating factors that affect the channel-shape changes. These findings will aid in implementing river-engineering strategies and provide guidance for managing similar channel reaches. This research highlights the effectiveness of a coupled model for predicting morphological changes in river systems, thereby contributing to better flood management and river bank protection strategies.

Published: October 2024

Abstract:
Gene therapy has traditionally been used to treat individuals with late-stage cancers or
congenital abnormalities. Numerous prospects for therapeutic genetic modifications have emerged
with the discovery that gene therapy applications are far more extensive, particularly in skin and exterior
wounds. Cutaneous wound healing is a complex, multistep process involving multiple steps
and mediators that operate in a network of activation and inhibition processes. This setting presents
a unique obstacle for gene delivery. Many gene delivery strategies have been developed, including
liposomal administration, high-pressure injection, viral transfection, and the application of bare
DNA. Among several gene transfer techniques, categorical polymers, nanoparticles, and liposomalbased
constructs show great promise for non-viral gene transfer in wounds. Clinical experiments
have shown that efficient transportation of certain polypeptides to the intended wound location is a
crucial factor in wound healing. Genetically engineered cells can be used to produce and control the
delivery of specific growth factors, thereby addressing the drawbacks of mechanically administered
recombinant growth factors. We have discussed how repair mechanisms are based on molecules
and cells, as well as their breakdown, and provided an overview of the methods and research conducted
on gene transmission in tissue regeneration.

Published: October 2024

Introduction:
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia and a significant
public health concern, characterized by high incidence, mortality, and economic burden. This
study analyzes the mortality patterns and demographic disparities in Alzheimer's disease-related
deaths among the elderly population in the United States from 1999 through 2020.

Methods:
Alzheimer's disease mortality data for individuals 65 and older were obtained from the
CDC WONDER database, utilizing ICD-10 codes G30.0, G30.1, G30.8, and G30.9 for identification.
Demographic and regional variables included age, gender, race/ethnicity, place of death, urban-
rural status, and geographic region. Crude death rates (CR) and age-adjusted mortality rates
(AAMR) per 100,000 individuals were calculated. Joinpoint Regression Program 5.0.2 was used
to analyze trends, calculating Annual Percentage Changes (APCs) and Average Annual Percentage
Changes (AAPCs).

Results:
From 1999 to 2020, 1,852,432 deaths were attributed to AD among individuals aged 65
and older. The AAMR increased from 128.8 in 1999 to 254.3 in 2020, with an AAPC of 2.99%
(95% CI = 2.61-3.48). The age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) was higher in females (218.5)
than in males (163.5). Among racial and ethnic groups, non-Hispanic whites had the highest
AAMR, followed by Non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics. Regionally, the West reported the highest
AAMR, while the Northeast recorded the lowest. Most deaths occurred in nursing homes
(57.3%), with a significant portion also occurring at decedents' homes (22.4%).

Conclusion:
AD mortality rates in the U.S. have risen significantly, with notable disparities
across age, gender, race, and geographic regions. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions
and research to address the growing burden of AD, particularly among the most affected
demographic groups.
Antioxidant and Chemopreventive Potential of Uraria picta Root Extracts against DMBA/croton Oil Induced Skin Carcinogenesis in Mice
Authors: Kadian Jai P. , Kaushik Madan L. 
Published: October 2024

Introduction:
Skin cancer is the fifth most common cancer and is a serious concern to
public health and the economy. Although, various treatment strategies are available but have several
undesirable side effects. To combat these drawbacks, phytoconstituents or herbs can be the best
choice. Uraria picta (prishniparni) is a potential herb used in various herbal formulations, important
of which is Dasmularishta.

Methods:
Thus, the present study aims to investigate the antioxidant and chemopreventive potential
of U. picta root extract as an alternative for skin cancer prevention or treatment. The powdered
plant material was successively extracted with petroleum ether, methanol, and water. The
obtained methanol and aqueous extracts were studied for antioxidant activity via DPPH free radical
scavenging assay using butylated hydroxytoluene as a standard. Both the extracts showed significant
antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 9.17 and 15.6 μg/mL, respectively while BHT had
IC50 value of 7.03 μg/mL. Female Swiss albino mice were selected for the study and randomly divided
into 7 groups having 6 animals each. The skin carcinogenesis was induced using a single application
of DMBA on dorsal shaved skin and promoted by applying croton oil twice weekly till
the end of the study i.e. 16 weeks.

Results:
Both the extracts showed the chemopreventive potential in a dose-dependent manner.
The most significant activity was observed with the methanol extract at 400 mg/kg, p.o. dose. The
present study showed significant antioxidant and antitumorigenic activity of the methanol extract
of U. picta roots against chemical-induced skin papillomagenesis.

Conclusion:
The precise mechanism of action and constituents responsible for the activity are still
under further study.

Authors: Bu Changming , Yang Qian , Shi Yangxi , Zhu Dongxu , Sun Yi , Yang Haiyan , Zhan Jianchuan 
Published: October 2024

Introduction:
Due to the segregation of lightweight aggregate concrete, there is a phenomenon
of uneven distribution of ceramsite (aggregate) in commercial ceramsite concrete, lightweight
wallboard, which the specific performance of wallboard can reflect.

Method:
In this paper, the non-uniformity of six commercial ceramsite concrete wallboards with
different curing conditions was analyzed. Six wallboards were cut into 648 samples and photographed,
and ImageJ image analysis technology was combined to analyze the non-uniformity of the
ceramsite concrete wallboard under different curing conditions in terms of the proportion of ceramsite
particle area, density, compressive strength, and ultrasonic velocity. At the same time, the reasons
for the difference in wallboard performance under different curing methods were explained from the
microscopic perspective by investigating the ITZ interface.

Result:
Compared with natural curing, sealing curing can significantly optimize the performance
distribution of the wallboard and effectively improve the inhomogeneity of the wallboard. The average
density of the specimen is increased by about 13%, and the average compressive strength by
about 20%. The maximum density of the wallboard samples is increased by 105 kg/m3, which is
about 15% higher than that of the naturally cured wallboard.

Conclusion:
This paper quantifies the magnitude of the effect of sealing curing on wallboards and
provides a basis for the selection of curing methods for ceramsite concrete wallboards.

Introduction:
The lung is a moderately radio-sensitive organ. When cells are damaged
due to accidental radiation exposure or treatment, they release molecules that lead to the recruitment
of immune cells, accumulating inflammatory cytokines at the site of damage. Apigenin
(Api) is a natural flavonoid known for its anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we investigated
the radioprotective properties of Api in the lung.

Methods:
Thirty-six Wistar rats were randomly assigned to nine groups: control, radiation (Rad),
CMC+Rad, Api10+Rad, and Api20+Rad. Api was administered with an intraperitoneal injection
for 7 days, after which the rats were irradiated with 6 Gy whole-body X-ray. At 6 and 72 hours
post-irradiation, the rats were euthanized, and their lung tissue was extracted.

Results:
Radiation led to increased alveolar wall thickness and the infiltration of macrophages and
lymphocytes. Furthermore, the expression levels of inflammatory factors such as a nuclear factor
of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells (NF-ĸB), Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta
(GSK-3β), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1), and epigenetic factors including DNA
methyltransferase 3a (DNMT3a) and Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) were elevated in the lung
tissue following radiation. Meanwhile, the expression level of IκB-α decreased. However, administration
of Api (at both 10&20 mg/kg) reversed the adverse effects of radiation.

Conclusion:
Api administration mitigated radiation-induced lung damage by reversing inflammatory
and epigenetic changes.
