Towards Industry 4.0: Color-Based Object Sorting Using a Robot Arm and Real-Time Object Detection
Authors: ZeChern Ong 
Published: March 2024

With the introduction of Industry 4.0, automation and robotics have made great strides, enabling
enterprises to improve their manufacturing processes for increased productivity and efficiency. This project
introduces a novel method for implementing Industry 4.0 concepts through color-based object sorting employing
a robot arm with real-time object identification capabilities. Creating a reliable and effective system that can
automatically categorize items based on their color properties is the main goal of this project. To enable seamless
object recognition and manipulation in real time, the suggested system integrates robotic manipulation with
computer vision algorithms. The system makes use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for precise object
detection, using recent advancements in deep learning and image processing, allowing the robot arm to interact
with a variety of items effectively. The training phase and the sorting phase are the two key phases of the
approach. The CNN model is trained on a sizable dataset of labeled objects during the training phase to recognize
various colors and forms. In order for the robotic arm to recognize things as they go along the conveyor belt and
sort them into predetermined bins according to their respective colors, the trained model must be integrated with
the robotic arm during the sorting phase. Several experiments are carried out with various lighting setups and
object arrangements to evaluate the performance of the suggested system. The outcomes show how well the
system performs in terms of exact object detection and reliable sorting. The system's capacity to effectively
handle a variety of objects and adapt to changing environmental conditions further emphasizes its suitability for
use in actual industrial scenarios. This project has important ramifications for the manufacturing sector, enabling
improved automation capabilities and cost-efficiency. An important step towards implementing Industry 4.0
principles is the seamless integration of color-based object sorting and real-time object detection using a robotic
arm. This will allow industries to optimize their production processes, minimize human intervention, and
increase overall productivity. Further developments in robotics and computer vision are anticipated to push the
limits of automation and open the door for more advanced and intelligent industrial systems as technology
develops.

Introduction
The pandemic of COVID-19 continues to impact people worldwide, with more than 755 million confirmed cases and more than 6.8 million reported deaths. Although two types of treatment, antiviral and immunomodulatory therapy, have been approved to date, vaccination has been the best method to control the spread of the disease.

Objective
To explore factors associated with the intention to be vaccinated with the COVID-19 booster dose in Peru.

Material and Methods
Cross-sectional study, using virtual and physical surveys of adults with two or more doses of COVID-19 vaccine, where the dependent variable was the intention to be vaccinated (IBV) with the booster dose. We calculated prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals, using generalized linear models of the Poisson family with robust varying, determining associations between sociodemographic, clinical, and booster dose perception variables.

Results
Data from 924 adults were analyzed. The IBV of the booster doses was 88.1%. A higher prevalence was associated with being male (aPR = 1.05; 95% CI [1.01–1.10]), having a good perception of efficacy and protective effect (PR = 3.69; 95% CI [2.57–5.30]) and belonging to the health sector (PR = 1.10; 95% CI [1.04–1.16]). There was greater acceptance of the recommendation of physicians and other health professionals (aPR = 1.40; 95% CI [1.27–1.55]).

Conclusions
Factors associated with higher IBV with booster dose include male gender, health sciences, physician recommendation, and good perception of efficacy.

Background
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is related to diet and obesity. Currently, crosstalk between lipid metabolism and CRC has been reported; however, the specific mechanism is not yet understood. In this study, we screened differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs from primary cancer, paracancer, and white adipose tissue of CRC patients. We screened and analyzed the genes differentially expressed between primary and paracancer tissue and between paracancer and white adipose tissue but not between primary and white adipose tissue. According to the results of the biological analysis, we speculated a lncRNA (MIR503HG) that may be involved in the crosstalk between CRC and lipid metabolism through exosome delivery.

Methods
We screened differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs from primary cancer, paracancer, and white adipose tissue of CRC patients. We screened and analyzed the genes differentially expressed between primary and paracancer tissue and between paracancer and white adipose tissue but not between primary and white adipose tissue.

Results
We speculated a lncRNA (MIR503HG) that may be involved in the crosstalk between CRC and lipid metabolism through exosome delivery.

Conclusions
In this study, the findings raise the possibility of crosstalk between lipid metabolism and CRC through the exosomal delivery of lncRNAs.

Published: March 2024

Objectives
To test the hypothesis that ‘live high-base train high-interval train low’ (HiHiLo) altitude training, compared to ‘live low-train high’ (LoHi), yields greater benefits on performance and physiological adaptations.

Methods
Sixteen young male middle-distance runners (age, 17.0 ± 1.5 y; body mass, 58.8 ± 4.9 kg; body height, 176.3 ± 4.3 cm; training years, 3–5 y; training distance per week, 30–60 km.wk−1) with a peak oxygen uptake averaging ~65 ml.min−1.kg−1 trained in a normobaric hypoxia chamber (simulated altitude of ~2,500 m, monitored by heart rate ~170 bpm; thrice weekly) for 3 weeks. During this period, the HiHiLo group (n = 8) stayed in normobaric hypoxia (at ~2,800 m; 10 h.day−1), while the LoHi group (n = 8) resided near sea level. Before and immediately after the intervention, peak oxygen uptake and exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia responses (incremental cycle test) as well as running performance and time-domain heart rate variability (5-km time trial) were assessed. Hematological variables were monitored at baseline and on days 1, 7, 14 and 21 during the intervention.

Results
Peak oxygen uptake and running performance did not differ before and after the intervention in either group (all P > 0.05). Exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia responses, measured both at submaximal (240 W) and maximal loads during the incremental test, and log-transformed root mean square of successive R-R intervals during the 4-min post-run recovery period, did not change (all P > 0.05). Hematocrit, mean reticulocyte absolute count and reticulocyte percentage increased above baseline levels on day 21 of the intervention (all P < 0.001), irrespective of group.

Conclusions
Well-trained runners undertaking base training at moderate simulated altitude for 3 weeks, with or without hypoxic residence, showed no performance improvement, also with unchanged time-domain heart rate variability and exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia responses.

Published: March 2024

A field experiment was conducted at the north western coast of Egypt under rainfed conditions to study the effects of seed rates (70, 95 and 120 kg ha-1) and nitrogen fertilizer treatments (0, 35, 70 and 105 kg N ha-1) of Ensiabeen-40% N as slow-release fertilizer compared with 105 kg N ha-1 as Ammonium nitrate (33.5%N) on productivity of barley cultivar Giza134. This investigation was conducted during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 winter growing seasons. The treatments were laid out in a split plot design, with three replications. Plant height, spike length, number of grins spike-1, number of spikes per m2, 1000 grain weight, biological and grain yield were recorded. In addition, total income and net return (LE)/hactare were calculated. The results indicated that mean squares due to seasons, seed rates, nitrogen levels and their interactions were significant for most studied traits. Mean performance of the studied traits as affected by seasons, seed rates and nitrogen levels showed that, the most desirable values were obtained by SR1 for spike length (6.13cm), number of grains spike-1 (48.78 grain) and 1000 grain weight (42.15g), from SR2 for Biological yield (6.02 ton ha-1) and grain yield (1.85 ton ha-1) and from SR3 for plant height (78.28cm) and number of spikes m-2 (180.11 spike). For nitrogen level effects, N4 recorded the most favorable values for all studied traits; plant height (81.48cm), spike length (6.33cm), number of grains spike-1 (49.99 grain), number of spikes m-2 (187.60 spike), Biological yield (6.88 ton ha-1), grain yield (2.12 ton ha-1) and 1000 grain weight (42.89g). Grain yield exhibited highly significant and positive correlation with each of plant height (r= 0.833**), spike length(r=0.621**), number of grains spike-1 (r=0.768**), number of spikes m-2(r=0.880**) and weight of 1000 grains (r= 0.661**). The most contributing variable in the total variation of grain yield were number of spikes m-2, number of grains spike-1 and spike length. These variables contributed by 92.9% in the grain yield variation. The results also indicated that, the highest values in the total income were 19149 and 24990 pound.hec-1 respectively, and net return were 9492 and 15498 pound.hec-1 obtained from the interaction between seed rate of 5kg ha-1 (SR2) and 105 unit of slow release fertilizer (N4) during the two growing seasons. It could recommend this treatment to maximize the total income for the farmers in such location.

Published: March 2024

Corrosion contributes to multibillion USA dollar loses due to deterioration, weakening and ultimate failure of engineering infrastructure globally necessitating further research to build more corrosion resistant materials. The aim of this study was to investigate atmospheric corrosion of aluminium-zinc coated steel roofing sheets exposed to outdoor marine environment in Kenya at Diani and Mariakani sites, representing severe marine and urban marine environments respectively. Al-Zn coated sheets measuring 130 mm x 190 mm coated with masses ranging from 60-150 gm2 were exposed for 2 years. The specimens were collected at periodic intervals following ASTM G1-90 standard method and corrosion products analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, while corrosion rate was determined by weight loss method. Corrosion rate ranged from 0.03 to 0.05 mmpy and increased with decreasing masses coating materials from 150 to 60 (gm2). Diani site recorded higher corrosion due to severe marine conditions characterized by high chlorides, RH of 81%, UV of 12mW/cm2 and a temperature of 27 ℃. Dominant rust constituents were goethite (a-FeOOH) and lepidocrocite (g-FeOOH), while ferrihydrite and maghemite (a-Fe2O3) were measured at low levels suggesting the influence of suphur dioxide and chloride pollution on corrosion rate at both sites. Corossion rates ˂ 0.15 mmpy at both sites suggest excellent protection by the formulated coating media. The results of this contribute to improving the quality of the AZ metal coating media under marine environments.

Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate or SDS is a chemical compound widely used in detergent and cosmetic formulations. This work describes the application of solar heterogeneous photocatalysis based on tungsten oxide (WO3) to the kinetic study of the degradation of sodium dodecylsulfate. The experiments were performed at room temperature to study the effect of the initial catalyst mass. The results showed that a small amount of tungsten oxide is sufficient to degrade sodium dodecyl sulfate. The initial concentrations of SDS varied between 5 and 15 mg.L-1. According to the results, more than 87% reduction is obtained after 120 min of solar irradiation of the SDS solution for a WO3/SDS mass ratio of 1/5. The detailed kinetic analysis of the photodegradation of sodium dodecylsulfate showed that the disappearance of the anionic surfactant follows a pseudo-prime model. According to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, the kinetics constant calculated from the linear form of this model are : k = 0.042 mg.L.min-1 and K = 0.060 L.mg-1.

AbstractRetiring into neutraling is a commonplace career move. Mediation consumers seek out the former senior judges and partners, even though they complain about them. For the transitioning lawyers, there's training to take, and longtime skills–make that ingrained habits–that need to be updated. London's Sir Henry Brooke gives a simultaneously serious and fun view from abroad on how the move from the bench affects the judge, and future mediation processes
Trifluormethylborane und ‐borate – neue Synthesestrategien und Anwendungen
Authors: Finze Maik , Bernhardt Eduard , Willner Helge 
Published: November 2007

AbstractMit der Synthese des [B(CF3)4]−‐Anions setzte eine neue Entwicklung im Bereich der Trifluormethylborchemie ein. Während die bisher beschriebenen (CF3)nB‐Derivate (n=1–3) ausschließlich durch die Übertragung von CF3‐Gruppen hergestellt wurden, gelang die Synthese des [B(CF3)4]−‐Anions durch die Fluorierung des [B(CN)4]−‐Anions mit ClF oder ClF3 in wasserfreier HF. Aufgrund seiner thermischen und chemischen Stabilität ist das [B(CF3)4]−‐Anion ein attraktives schwach koordinierendes Anion. In konzentrierter Schwefelsäure wird jedoch eine der vier CF3‐Gruppen zu einem CO‐Liganden solvolysiert und das neutrale Carbonylboran (CF3)3BCO erhalten. Es zeigte sich, dass diese Verbindung ein vielseitiger Synthesebaustein ist, und zahlreiche Reaktionen wurden inzwischen untersucht. Nucleophile addieren bevorzugt an das C‐Atom des CO‐Liganden. Beispiele neuer Derivate sind die Anionen [(CF3)3BCPnic]− (Pnic=N, P, As). Es ist aber auch ein Ligandenaustausch unter Abgabe von CO beispielsweise zu (CF3)3BNCH möglich. Schließlich ist (CF3)3BCO eine Komponente der konjugierten Brønsted‐Lewis‐Supersäure HF/(CF3)3BCO.
Blogging activity among cancer patients and their companions: Uses, gratifications, and predictors of outcomes
Authors: Chung Deborah S. , Kim Sujin 
Published: November 2007

AbstractThis study examines cancer patients' and companions' uses and gratifications of blogs and the relationship between different types of blogging activities and gratification outcomes. In an online survey of 113 respondents, cancer patients were found to be more likely than their companions to host their own blogs. Four areas emerged as gratifications of blog use: prevention and care, problem‐solving, emotion management, and information‐sharing. Cancer patients and companions both found blogging activity to be most helpful for emotion management and information‐sharing. Further, cancer patients were more gratified than their companions in the areas of emotion management and problem‐solving. Regression analyses indicate that perceived credibility of blogs, posting comments on others' blogs, and hosting one's own blog significantly increased the explanatory power of the regression models for each gratification outcome.
The persistence of behavior and form in the organization of personal information
Authors: Barreau Deborah 
Published: November 2007

AbstractThis study revisits managers who were first interviewed more than 10 years ago to identify their personal information management (PIM) behaviors. The purpose of this study was to see how advances in technology and access to the Web may have affected their PIM behaviors. PIM behaviors seem to have changed little over time, suggesting that technological advances are less important in determining how individuals organize and use information than are the tasks that they perform. Managers identified increased volume of e‐mail and the frustration with having to access multiple systems with different, unsynchronized passwords as their greatest PIM challenges. Organizational implications are discussed.

AbstractBACKGROUND:Hypertensive disorders occur in an estimated 5–10% of pregnancies, but few studies have examined birth defects in relation to high blood pressure and antihypertensive medication use. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between high blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use, and severe hypospadias.METHODS:We used data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, a population‐based, multicenter, case‐control study of birth defects to assess risks for severe hypospadias in relation to self‐reported high blood pressure and prenatal exposures to antihypertensive drugs in 758 male infants with severe hypospadias and 2,058 male controls born between 1997 and 2002. Logistic regression analyses estimated ORs and 95% CIs, adjusted for potential confounders.RESULTS:We observed slight to moderate elevations in the risk of severe hypospadias for maternal untreated hypertension (adjusted OR 2.1; 95% CI: 1.6–2.9) and antihypertensive medication use during 1 month preconception through pregnancy month 4 (adjusted OR 1.4; 95% CI: 0.7–2.9). The association was strongest for subjects initiating medications after the fourth month (adjusted OR 5.0; 95% CI: 1.9–12.9).CONCLUSIONS:We observed an association between hypertension, antihypertensive medication use, and the risk of severe hypospadias, particularly when medication use began late in pregnancy. Because hypospadias occurs in early pregnancy, the data suggest that hypertension and its morphologic/physiologic precursors play an etiologic role, perhaps via compromised uteroplacental perfusion.

How do endosymbionts become organelles? Understanding early events in plastid evolution
Authors: Bhattacharya Debashish , Archibald John M. , Weber Andreas P.M. , Reyes‐Prieto Adrian 
Published: November 2007

AbstractWhat factors drove the transformation of the cyanobacterial progenitor of plastids (e.g. chloroplasts) from endosymbiont to bona fide organelle? This question lies at the heart of organelle genesis because, whereas intracellular endosymbionts are widespread in both unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes (e.g. rhizobial bacteria, Chlorella cells in ciliates, Buchnera in aphids), only two canonical eukaryotic organelles of endosymbiotic origin are recognized, the plastids of algae and plants and the mitochondrion. Emerging data on (1) the discovery of non‐canonical plastid protein targeting, (2) the recent origin of a cyanobacterial‐derived organelle in the filose amoeba Paulinella chromatophora, and (3) the extraordinarily reduced genomes of psyllid bacterial endosymbionts begin to blur the distinction between endosymbiont and organelle. Here we discuss the use of these terms in light of new data in order to highlight the unique aspects of plastids and mitochondria and underscore their central role in eukaryotic evolution.

The theoretical basis of cancer‐stem‐cell‐based therapeutics of cancer: can it be put into practice?
Authors: Sánchez‐García Isidro , Vicente‐Dueñas Carolina , Cobaleda César 
Published: November 2007

AbstractIn spite of the advances in our knowledge of cancer biology, most cancers remain not curable with present therapies. Current treatments consider cancer as resulting from uncontrolled proliferation and are non‐specific. Although they can reduce tumour burden, relapse occurs in most cases. This was long attributed to incomplete tumour elimination, but recent developments indicate that different types of cells contribute to the tumour structure, and that the tumour's cellular organization would be analogous to that of a normal tissue, with a main mass of differentiating cells sensitive to anti proliferative agents, together with a small percentage of quiescent, resistant stem cells responsible for replenishing the tumour: the Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs). Anti‐CSCs targeted therapeutic agents would prevent tumour regeneration. New mouse models tailored to exploit this novel concept will be critical to develop CSC‐based anti‐cancer therapies. Here we review the biological basis and the therapeutic implications of the stem‐cell model of cancer. BioEssays 29:1269–1280, 2007. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
