A Simplified Model for Propeller Thrust in Oblique Flow
Authors: Patience Christian , Nahon Meyer 
Published: September 2024

New aircraft architectures are being proposed for unmanned aerial vehicles and air taxis, which include tilt-able motor and propellers. These propulsive units operate with a propeller axis at an angle oblique to the flight direction, and thus it is important to understand and model how thrust is produced by a propeller operating under these conditions. Propellers in oblique flow have been modeled using Blade Element Momentum Theory coupled to an inflow model, and the Vortex Lattice Method. In the present work, we develop a much simpler approach that neglects the crossflow component of the incoming air velocity. An advance ratio is developed based on the parallel inflow component, and is coupled to existing propeller data collected in axial flow conditions. The proposed model is evaluated using existing experimental data collected under oblique flow conditions, and is predicts thrust to within \(5\,\%\) of experimental values for most conditions. The greatest discrepancy between the model and experiments occurs in the pure crossflow case, which is of lesser importance in the application to unmanned aerial vehicles and air taxis.

This study aims to determine the process of providing stimulus and to know the improvement of memorization through the art of recitation, the author uses a type of classroom action research (CAR) using a descriptive research methodology, namely research to provide data by describing certain symptoms. The results showed that the provision of stimulus through the art of recitations in memorizing Surah Al-Falaq verses 1-5, namely there were 3 responses, perceptual responses (cognitive), emotional responses (affective), behavioristic responses (behavior). Perceptual (cognitive) responses describe students more quickly imitating ustadz (teacher) in memorizing, and their memory power will not forget, emotional (affective) responses describe students when memorizing using the art of recitations not talking much with themselves or with their friends, and behavioristic responses (behavior). behavior) shows disciplined students with their presence, never absent. As for improving the memorization of Surah Al- Falaq through the art of recitation, namely before being given action, students are lazy to memorize, many forget to memorize, then makhrajul letters and tajwid are still lacking, in the first cycle of action only 6 people achieved completeness, namely getting 54.54 results. %. Then the author took action in the second cycle, in the second cycle the students' memorization mastery increased, namely there were 9 people who got mastery with a percentage of 81.81%. This proves that there is a change or increase in memorization in children at TPQ Nurul Iman, Tamaran Village, Hinai District, Langkat Regency through the art of recitation.

Вибір рекламного дискурсу як об’єкта дослідження зумовлений особливою прагматичною значущістю, яку рекламні тексти займають у структурі та організації сучасної мовленнєвої комунікації. Багатогранність змісту та форм дискурсу не дозволяє дати єдине визначення цьому явищу, що призводить до висновку, що дискурс є полісемантичним терміном. Рекламний дискурс охоплює відносини між рекламодавцями та одержувачами реклами, реалізовані через поширення рекламної продукції в друкованих ЗМІ, електронних ЗМІ, на зовнішніх дисплеях, транспортних засобах, а також на нетрадиційних носіях (побутові предмети, деталі інтер’єру та міського простору, різні комп'ютерні носії тощо). Два тренди лежать в основі створення рекламних текстів: лаконічність і виразність. З іншого боку, стиль подачі рекламного тексту частково нагадує телеграфний стиль. Важливо зберігати початкову свіжість інформації, скорочуючи текст до кількох простих, але запам'ятовуваних слів. Реклама є одним із тих типів текстів, що мають на меті прямий вплив на аудиторію. В результаті лінгвістичного аналізу можна зробити висновок, що в структурі рекламного дискурсу існують певні лінгвістичні та мовні моделі, такі як спрощення синтаксису: велика кількість простих, неускладнених речень і номінативних фраз. Щодо лексики, підвищується роль лексичних одиниць зі специфічним і емоційним змістом.

Background: Majority of the Bangladeshi population lives in an areas receiving ample sunshine throughout the year. Despite this fact multiple studies have shown wide prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in our country in all ages and both sexes. Adequate vitamin D status has an important clinical advantage for maintaining various activities as well as preventing diseases. In this lab based retrospective study, it was determined the prevailing condition of vitamin D deficiency among adult patients visiting MH Samorita Hospital and Medical College outdoor. The present study aimed to focus on assessing Vitamin D status of adult patients visited a tertiary care hospital of Dhaka city.
Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study. A total of 72 cases were chosen by random sampling with records of vitamin D status, age and sex from July to December, 2022.The results were statistically analyzed with Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS-24).
Results: Out of total subject (n=72) none of them showed toxic serum concentration of vitamin, 12.5 % had sufficient, 23.6% had insufficient and 63.9% had deficient levels of vitamin D. Gender wise comparison of vitamin D status showed male patients, 28.3% were deficient in vitamin D, 47.1% were insufficient, and a substantial 77.8% had sufficient levels. In contrast, a much higher proportion of female patients were deficient (71.7%) or insufficient (52.9%) in vitamin D, with only 22.2% having sufficient levels. According to age wise distribution, the highest percentage of vitamin D deficiency (58.7%) was observed in the youngest age group (18-30 years), while the proportion decreased in older age groups (30.4% for 31-50 years and 10.9% for 51-65 years).
Conclusion: Vitamin D is an important vitamin which impacts many systems of the body .This study indicates that 63.9 % of subjects are vitamin D deficient which is very much alarming. So, it becomes paramount to further scrutinize the associated factors apart from age and gender. To this end, further studies are needed.

Published: September 2024

IntroductionThe incidence of hemiplegia caused by stroke is high. In particular, lower limb dysfunction affects the daily activities of patients, and lower limb robotic devices have been proposed to provide rehabilitation therapy to improve balance function in this patient population.ObjectiveTo assess the effectiveness of the LiteStepper® unilateral lower limb exoskeleton (ULLE) combined with conventional treatment for balance function training in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.MethodsThis multicenter randomized controlled trial, conducted in the convalescent rehabilitation ward of four hospitals, involved 92 patients in their post-stroke phase. Participants were randomized into an experimental group (EG) or a conventional group (CG). The EG adopted the LiteStepper® ULLE combined with conventional treatment for 21 days. The CG underwent a standard daily rehabilitation routine for 21 days. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Functional Ambulation Category scale (FAC), 6-min walk test (6MWT), and Barthel Index (Barthel) were used for evaluations before and after 21 days of rehabilitative training.ResultsThe BBS scores in EG was significantly elevated compared to CG, exhibiting a profound statistical difference (P&lt; 0.0001). Notably, these disparities persisted at both day 21 (P &lt; 0.0001) and day 14 (P &lt; 0.0047) post-intervention, underscoring the efficacy of the treatment in the EG. The EG demonstrated a markedly greater improvement in BBS scores from pre-rehabilitation to 21 days post-training, significantly outperforming the CG. Furthermore, at both day 14 and day 21, functional assessments including the FAC, 6MWT, and Barthel revealed improvements in both groups. However, the improvements in the EG were statistically significant compared to the CG at both time points: day 14 (FAC, P = 0.0377; 6MWT, P = 0.0494; Barthel, P = 0.0225) and day 21 (FAC, P = 0.0015; 6MWT, P = 0.0005; Barthel, P = 0.0004). These findings highlight the superiority of the intervention in the EG in enhancing functional outcomes. Regarding safety, the analysis revealed a solitary adverse event (AEs) related to the LiteStepper®ULLE device during the study period, affirming the combination therapy’s safety profile when administered alongside conventional balance training in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. This underscores the feasibility and potential of incorporating LiteStepper®ULLE into rehabilitation protocols for this patient population.Discussion and significanceThe LiteStepper® ULLE combined with conventional treatment is effective and safe for balance function training in patients with post-stroke hemiplegia.

IntroductionMicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as promising diagnostic biomarkers for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) due to their notable upregulation in individuals with the condition. However, the development of highly sensitive miRNAs assays for the rapid diagnosis of DR in clinical settings remains a challenging task.MethodsIn this study, we introduce an enhanced CRISPR/Cas12a assay, leveraging suboptimal PAM (sPAM)-mediated Cas12a trans-cleavage in conjunction with rolling circle amplification (RCA). sPAM was found to perform better than canonical PAM (cPAM) in the detection of Cas12a-mediated ssDNA detection at low concentrations and was used instead of canonical PAM (cPAM) to mediate the detection. The parameters of reactions have also been optimized.Results and discussionIn comparison with cPAM, sPAM has higher sensitivity in the detection of ssDNA at concentrations lower than 10 pM by Cas12a. By replacing cPAM with sPAM in the padlock template of RCA, ultra-high sensitivity for miR-183 detection is achieved, with a detection limit of 0.40 aM. within 25 min and a linear range spanning from 1 aM. to 1 pM. Our assay also exhibits exceptional specificity in detecting miR-183 from other miRNAs. Furthermore, the applicability of our assay for the sensitive detection of miR-183 in clinical serum samples is also validated. This study introduces a groundbreaking assay with excellent performance through a simple modification, which not only addresses existing diagnostic challenges, but also opens exciting new avenues for clinical diagnosis in the realm of DR.

Purpose/objective(s)Biomarkers for extracranial oligometastatic disease remain elusive and few studies have attempted to correlate genomic data to the presence of true oligometastatic disease.MethodsPatients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and brain metastases were identified in our departmental database. Electronic medical records were used to identify patients for whom liquid biopsy-based comprehensive genomic profiling (Guardant Health) was available. Extracranial oligometastatic disease was defined as patients having ≤5 non-brain metastases without diffuse involvement of a single organ. Widespread disease was any spread beyond oligometastatic. Fisher’s exact tests were used to screen for mutations statistically associated (p&lt;0.1) with either oligometastatic or widespread extracranial disease. A risk score for the likelihood of oligometastatic disease was generated and correlated to the likelihood of having oligometastatic disease vs widespread disease. For oligometastatic patients, a competing risk analysis was done to assess for cumulative incidence of oligometastatic progression. Cox regression was used to determine association between oligometastatic risk score and oligoprogression.Results130 patients met study criteria and were included in the analysis. 51 patients (39%) had extracranial oligometastatic disease. Genetic mutations included in the Guardant panel that were associated (p&lt;0.1) with the presence of oligometastatic disease included ATM, JAK2, MAP2K2, and NTRK1, while ARID1A and CCNE1 were associated with widespread disease. Patients with a positive, neutral and negative risk score for oligometastatic disease had a 78%, 41% and 11.5% likelihood of having oligometastatic disease, respectively (p&lt;0.0001). Overall survival for patients with positive, neutral and negative risk scores for oligometastatic disease was 86% vs 82% vs 64% at 6 months (p=0.2). Oligometastatic risk score was significantly associated with the likelihood of oligoprogression based on the Wald chi-square test. Patients with positive, neutral and negative risk scores for oligometastatic disease had a cumulative incidence of oligometastatic progression of 77% vs 35% vs 33% at 6 months (p=0.03).ConclusionsElucidation of a genomic signature for extracranial oligometastatic disease derived from non-invasive liquid biopsy appears feasible for NSCLC patients. Patients with this signature exhibited higher rates of early oligoprogression. External validation could lead to a biomarker that has the potential to direct local therapies in oligometastatic patients.

Published: September 2024

Pakistan is facing the worst level of energy and economic crisis of its history. The underlying reason of the economic crisis is basically due to the energy crisis. Various approaches have been adopted to tackle the energy crises which the country is facing for over 2 decades. Demand-side management (DSM) is the most potent and cost-effective option to redress the energy crisis, which, unfortunately, has been the most neglected strategy in Pakistan. DSM has the potential to save up to 10.0%–15.0% of primary energy to ensure the country’s future energy security. Laws and codes do exist, but ironically, the most vital element of DSM’s policy framework and implementation mechanism is missing. Hence, the main objective of this research is to develop a DSM model for Pakistan and analyze the reference and DSM scenarios. Low-emission analysis platform (LEAP) is used to develop Pakistan’s DSM model for the study period 2021–2050. The three alternative DSM scenarios developed include energy efficiency (EEF), energy conservation (EC), and load management (LOM), and they are all analyzed. The model results estimate the electricity demand forecast of 1009.8 TWh under the reference scenario in 2050, whereas DSM tends to result in a 26.38% decreased electricity demand compared to the reference scenario. The alternative DSM scenarios also outperform the reference scenario. In 2050, the EC scenario reduces consumption by 178.0 TWh and GHG emissions by 19.20 million metric tons, the EEF scenario reduces consumption by 110.30 TWh and GHG emissions by 10.04 million metric tons, and the LOM scenario suggests reduced consumption by 101.0 TWh and GHG emissions by 6.20 million metric tons. This study concluded that the DSM must be institutionalized in Pakistan by building a robust regulatory framework and execution mechanism at the government and utility levels.
Grid-integrated solutions for sustainable EV charging: a comparative study of renewable energy and battery storage systems
Authors: Rehman Anis ur , Khalid Haris M. , Muyeen S. M. 
Published: September 2024

IntroductionThe integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the power network challenges the 1) grid capacity, 2) stability, and 3) management. This is due to the 1) increased peak demand, 2) infrastructure strain, and 3) intermittent charging patterns. Previous studies lack comprehensive integration of renewable energy and battery storage with EV charging.MethodsTo address these challenges, this study explores the effectiveness of incorporating renewable energy resources (RERs) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) alongside the traditional grid. The proposed study utilizes the HOMER Grid® and conducted a comprehensive analysis.ResultsThe proposed study compares two grid integrated scenarios: 1) Case-1 (grid and photovoltaic (PV) systems), and 2) Case-2 (grid, PV systems, and BESS). Both these scenarios are compared against a Base case relying solely on grid power. The evaluation employed techno-economic analysis while focusing on 1) net present cost (NPC), 2) cost of energy, and 3) annualized savings. Additionally, the proposed study analyzed 4) seasonal variations in EV charging demand, 5) grid interactions, 6) PV production, and 7) the operation of BESS in both summer and winter. The comparative analysis reveals that the Base case incurs a net present cost (NPC) of $546,977 and a cost of energy (COE) of $0.354 per kWh. In contrast, Case-1, which integrates a 100 kW PV system, shows a significantly lower NPC of -$122,962 and a reduced COE of -$0.043 per kWh, with annualized savings of $61,492. Case-2, incorporating both the 100 kW PV system and a BESS with a capacity of 9.8 kWh, has a higher NPC of $309,667 but a COE of $0.112 per kWh and provides annual savings of $51,233 compared to the Base case.DiscussionSeasonal analysis highlights that Case-2 achieves the lowest carbon emissions in summer, ranging from 2.0 to 2.5 tons, while Case-1 shows the lowest emissions in winter, ranging from 3.2 to 3.4 tons. This model 1) reduces operational costs, 2) minimizes carbon emissions, while 3) making it compelling for future energy systems in increasing EV adoption.
