Published: April 2024

The aim of the review was to identify current barriers, "paradoxes", in the treatment of patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), based on a critical analysis of modern studies and identified evidence gaps.NSTE-ACS can be considered from the perspective of the following paradoxes: the risk-treatment paradox; risk stratification paradox; scope and timing of dual antiplatelet therapy; paradox of insufficient benefit of invasive treatment; age and comorbidity; tactics for multi-vessel coronary artery disease.A review of publications indexed in the Pubmed and Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) databases was carried out. The search depth was 10 years (from 2013 to 2023). The search resulted in 328 studies, of which 45 were used to write the final review.

Aim. To assess the rate of adverse cardiovascular events (a combination of non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke, cardiovascular death) within 12 months after MI in patients who were followed up in outpatient clinics in Moscow after the hospital discharge, as well as its association with antiplatelet therapy.Material and methods. This observational multicenter, open-label, prospective study that consecutively included patients after MI and came for further treatment and observation to the clinic after the hospital discharge, subject to providing informed consent. Data were obtained at four scheduled visits (an inclusion visit and 3 follow-up visits — 3, 6 and 12 months after the event). An analysis was carried out in the context of various antiplatelet therapy.Results. The study included 1576 patients in 27 Moscow clinics (mean age, 62,2±11,1 years; men — 69%; ST-segment elevation MI — 57,7%, non-ST elevation MI — 42,3%). At the time of study inclusion, 47,2% of patients received dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel, 4,2% — prasugrel, 48,6% — ticagrelor, with a mean duration of 11,2 months. Incidence of adverse cardiovascular events over 12-month follow-up rate was low and amounted to 3,4% (cumulative incidence, 0,038). This indicator was significantly lower in the subgroup of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention compared with patients who received conservative therapy for MI (p=0,0002).Conclusion. The study demonstrated a low incidence of adverse cardiovascular events over 12 months in patients followed up in outpatient clinics in Moscow after an MI, while percutaneous coronary intervention for MI was associated with a lower incidence of adverse cardiovascular events compared with conservative therapy.

Solar radiation and temperature play crucial roles in grapevine metabolic processes and are known to have a positive impact on grape berry composition; however, excessive exposure to these factors can be detrimental. Kaolin-based particle film technology has emerged as a valuable solution for mitigating the effects of heat and water stresses in vineyards. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of kaolin application on the phenolic composition, chromatic characteristics, oenological parameters, volatile compounds and sensory profile of red wine. The study was carried out in one growing season in the commercial vineyard "Quinta dos Aciprestes" in the Douro Superior sub-region. Twelve rows in triplicate of the Touriga-Nacional variety underwent foliar kaolin treatment (applied at the pre-veraison stage, at the manufacturer-recommended and -tested dosage of 5 % (w/v)), and another twelve rows comprised the non-treated control group. Kaolin increased the phenolic compound and tartaric acid concentrations (2.4 % and 20.8 % respectively), total acidity (2.4 %), the deep reddish colour of the berries, total and coloured anthocyanin (2.8 %), and total and polymeric pigments (3.6 %); meanwhile, a decrease was observed in pH (-1.4 %) and alcoholic degree (-4.8 %). No significant differences were observed in any sensory parameters between the wine from the kaolin-treated and control vines, but the tasters found the aroma of the former to be fruitier and more complex, with an agreeable acidic taste and persistence. It was possible to group the volatile compounds into two distinct groups based on the results of the Pearson’s correlation matrix. This grouping corresponds to the sensory descriptors common to each of the respective volatiles. Overall, the results further support the potential efficacy of utilising kaolin to alleviate summer-related stress in grapevines.

Published: April 2024

In recent years, the labor shortage caused by the decline in the working-age population has become increasingly severe across various industries. The construction industry is also facing an urgent situation. Improving productivity is critical in response to this situation. In addition, domestic infrastructure is aging, and climate-change-related incidents such as heavy rainfall and landslides are becoming more common on a global scale. To address these challenges, digital transformation (DX) deployment must be accelerated, and robotic technologies must be efficiently utilized.
Although various construction robot technologies have been developed to date, the robotization of construction and inspection work cannot be achieved using standalone technologies, regardless of their technological superiority. Today’s construction robots must function not only as standalone tools but also as part of a system integrated into construction and inspection methods, or even as a robotic system that operates throughout the construction site.
From this perspective, we published a special issue titled “Advanced Robotic Technology and System for DX in Construction Industry.” It includes papers and development reports on robotics, mechatronics, and information system technologies relevant to the construction industry.
We hope that this special issue will arouse interest in construction robots among researchers and engineers and accelerate the development of construction robots, related technologies, and DX in the construction industry.
Finally, we express our sincere gratitude to the editorial board of the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics, the editorial team at Fuji Technology Press Ltd., and all of the reviewers.

The article presents the results of research on modeling the DU-06-W-200 airfoil used in wind power plants with a vertical axis in the Ansys Fluent system, evaluating compatibility with experimental data and determining the optimal angle of attack. The DU-06-W-200 airfoil was simulated with angles of attack ranging from –15° to +15°, boundary conditions and input flow rate being of 15 m/s, operating temperature – of 23 °C, operating pressure – of 1·105 Pa, air flow rate – of 1.23 kg/m3 (airfoil chord length is of 1 m, dynamic viscosity of the air flow is 1.7894·10–5 kg/(m·s) and the type of turbulent models is SST k – omega (k – ω), k – epsilon (k – ε), whereas Reynolds number is 1.05·106). A two-dimensional geometry domain and a grid profile for the DU-06-W-200 airfoil have been created, with the number of nodes in the grid 37495 and the number of elements 36790. It was also found that the drag coefficients (Cd) SST k – omega (k – ω) for the turbulence model were equal to 0.1734, 0.0721, 0.0311, 0.0204, 0.0351, 0.0782, 0.1712, k – epsilon (k – ε) for the turbulence model were equal to 0.2065, 0.0789, 0.0318, 0.0212, 0.0359, 0.0787, 0.2019, lift coefficients (Cl) SST k – omega (k – ω) for the turbulence model were –0.9169, –0.9169, –0.9239, –0.5394, 0.0842, 0.7416, 1.3134, 1.1229, k – epsilon (k – ε) for the turbulent model was –0.9278, –0.8674, –0.5336, 0.0848, 0. 0359, 0.0787, 0.2019 at angles of attack of the DU-06-W-200 airfoil equal to –15°, –10o, –5°, 0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, respectively. In assessing the compatibility of the model and the experimental results of the DU-06-W-200 airfoil, the conformity criterion χ2, root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R2), and average bias error (ABE) were used. Based on the results of a study of the dependence of the ratio of the drag and lift coefficients on changes in the angle of attack, carried out using the SST k – omega (k – ω) and k – epsilon (k – ε) turbulence models, it has been found that the maximum value of the ratio of the drag and lift coefficients is 21 at the optimal angle attack inclination equal to 5°.

Optical glass ceramics based on oxyfluoride glasses activated by rare earth ions have attractive properties for development of lasers and near-infrared amplifiers, since they combine properties of fluoride crystals with low phonon frequencies and chemical and mechanical properties of oxide matrices. Spectroscopic properties of activator ions in crystalline and glass phases of glass-ceramics can differ significantly. Thus, it is possible to determine impurity ions’ distribution between these phases by means of absorption or luminescence spectra analysis. The main goal of this work was to develop a method for determining the concentration of Tm3+ and Ho3+ ions in the crystalline, PbF2 and glassy phases of glass ceramics after secondary thermal treatment of thulium-doped and thulium-holmium co-doped oxyfluoride glasses. Spectroscopic characteristics of oxyfluoride glasses activated by Tm3+ ions and co-activated by Tm3+ and Ho3+ ions, as well as glass ceramics obtained from the original glasses as a result of secondary heat treatment were studied. It was established by X-ray phase analysis method that under certain heat treatment conditions crystalline β-PbF2 phase is formed in those glasses. Absorption and luminescence spectra of Tm3+ and Ho3+ impurity ions in the original glass and in β-PbF2 crystals were compared with their ones in glass ceramics. A method for determining the concentration of ions in the crystalline and glass phases of glass ceramics was proposed on the basis of this comparison. Dependence of Tm3+ and Ho3+ ions distribution between the glass and crystalline phases on different regime of glasses' secondary heat treatment was studied.

As a result of anthropogenic activities, the environment is polluted by heavy metals. The most important task is to find methods to control their content in water. Track-etched membranes (TeMs) can be relatively easily modified by nanometer layers of functional materials with using the Langmuir‒Blodgett technique, which makes it possible to specifically change the structural, selective properties of the membrane surface and obtain new materials with desired properties. The aim of the work was to develop flexible sensors for the analysis of lead ions in water based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) TeMs with perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) nanolayers. Techniques for modifying TeMs based on PET with a monolayer coating based on PFDA by the Langmuir‒Blodgett method, and with two-layer coatings, formed by soaking PET TeMs/PFDA in xylenol orange solutions have been developed. The microstructure and local mechanical properties of the sensor surface were studied by atomic force microscopy, and the wettability and values of the specific surface energy of PET TeMs before and after modification were evaluated using the ''sessile'' drop method. Based on the measurement of electrochemical characteristics, it was found that PET TeMs/PFDA have a higher response of electrochemical characteristics compared to PET TeMs and PET TeMs/PFDA/XO. The limit of detection for lead ions in aqueous solutions at pH = 12 was of 0.652 µg/l within 5 measurements.

Published: April 2024

Currently, in economically developed countries, electric vehicles are considered as a solution to the problematic issue of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from road vehicles. The level of energy consumption is a critical factor in determining the overall performance of an electric vehicle. The article analyzes the influence of tire adhesion coefficient on the energy consumption of a battery electric vehicle when operating in typical standard driving cycles. In order to estimate the energy consumption during driving with different tire adhesion coefficients an electric vehicle longitudinal dynamic model is used, which allows taking into account various driving modes (Eco, Comfort, Sport) and sliding of the drive wheels in contact with the road surface. The proposed model, based on submodels of such main components of an electric vehicle as an electric motor and a traction battery, includes tire and vehicle body dynamics submodels, as well as a human-driver submodel with PID controller in the control circuit to track given trajectories. A series of experiments with the VinFast Vf e34 passenger electric vehicle on a dynamometer test bench were carried out to determine the electric motor’s performance characteristics at various operating modes and identify many other input parameters for simulation and verifying the mathematical model accuracy. The simulation results of the distance traveled by an electric vehicle on a single charge are compared withthe manufacturer's experimental data during operating the test vehicle in the standard European driving cycle. Simulation scenarios with different accelerating modes are proposed to analyze the influence of the adhesion coefficient on the EV’s dynamic characteristics and the level of energy consumption. The simulation results on the determination of the energy consumed by an electric vehicle when moving in various driving cycles with road adhesion coefficients are presented in the activity. The given results show the significant impact of the adhesion coefficient on electric vehicle energy consumption in various standard driving cycles, especially on low-grip roads.

Published: April 2024

Summary
This research delves into the pioneering application of evaporative cooling (EC) to address the challenge of reducing total dissolved solids (TDS) in produced water generated during hydraulic fracturing operations in the Permian Basin. In this study, we used a meticulously designed laboratory-scale EC system comprising three cooling pads, a fan, a water reservoir, and a pump. Through a systematic series of experiments, both synthetic and authentic produced-water samples were treated, shedding light on the potential of this novel approach.
The EC system efficiently processed untreated produced water, circulating it through the cooling pads, all while closely monitoring crucial variables such as inlet and outlet temperatures, relative humidity, and remaining water volume, utilizing a state-of-the-art temperature and humidity meter. Control experiments were systematically conducted to probe the influence of varying salinities, achieved by introducing NaCl into distilled water, encompassing a wide range from 0 ppm to 70,000 ppm. In addition, we extended our evaluation to real produced-water samples collected from diverse regions within the Permian Basin (Delaware, Northern Midland, and Southern Midland), reflecting the system’s capability to manage high salinity and the diverse impurities inherent to oil and gas production. A comparative analysis of energy consumption was undertaken, positioning EC against conventional thermal evaporation techniques.
The findings revealed a compelling insight that differences in EC efficiency between synthetic and real oilfield brines were primarily attributed to the presence of sodium (Na+) and chlorine (Cl-) contents rather than the overall TDS concentration. Across all experiments, the system consistently achieved remarkable TDS removal efficiencies, hovering around the 100% mark for both synthetic and authentic produced-water samples. Moreover, the study unveiled a significant advantage of EC, as it proved to be significantly less energy-intensive when juxtaposed with conventional thermal evaporation methods. In addition, our experiments revealed that divalent ions like CaCl2 tend to lower the treatment efficiency compared to monovalent ions, adding a crucial dimension to our understanding of EC in water treatment.
The EC system demonstrated remarkable efficiency, achieving nearly 100% TDS removal in both synthetic and real samples while being significantly less energy-intensive than conventional thermal evaporation methods. This research underscores EC’s potential as an effective, sustainable, and economical solution for high-TDS water treatment, with promising applications in industrial settings. The study also draws parallels between EC and air conditioning systems, suggesting its versatility in various industrial applications.

Abstract
Wastewater analysis serves as a complementary tool to clinical data in monitoring both the quantity and diversity of circulating enteroviruses among the population. While enterovirus infections typically result in asymptomatic or mild disease, certain types can lead to severe symptoms, highlighting the importance of tracking their prevalence and distribution.

Here we present both a RTqPCR assay targeting a conserved region in the 5’ end of the enterovirus genome to detect and quantify its presence in sewage along with a sequencing pipeline based in MinION platform (Oxford Nanopore Technologies) to characterize circulating enterovirus types in samples with sufficient virus load (Cq≤33). Two sequencing approaches are possible: one targeting all enterovirus types (1), and the other specifically focusing on Cluster C enterovirus (2), including poliovirus. The obtained data are processed using a designed pipeline to quantify the proportions of different enterovirus types, providing valuable insights into the spread of potentially severe types.
