Communication using High Performance FPGAs
Authors: Kumar Keshav , Kaur Amanpreet , Pandey Bishwajeet 
Published: January 2024

Aim:
This paper will focus on promoting the ideas of green communication

Background:
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) generator is used to control the power transfer in any
communication model. It is one of the most crucial parts of an electrical circuit. Our main focus in
this research work is to develop an energy and power-efficient PWM generator by using Field Programmable
Gate Array (FPGA) logic to elevate green communication

Objective:
Our main focus in this research work is to develop an energy and power-efficient PWM
generator by using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) logic to elevate green communication.

Methods:
In order to make the PWM suitable for GC, we have implemented the design on VIVADO
ISE from Xilinx. The power analysis as well as resource utilization are targeted on three different
FPGAs.

Results:
Different IO standards of Stub Series Terminated Logic (SSTL) family are explored at different
FPGA’s. Power analysis is deployed on the 7 series FPGAs of 3 different categories i.e., Spartan
7 (channel length = 28 nm), Kintex 7 (channel length = 20 nm) and ultra scale Zynq 7 (channel
length = 16 nm).

Conclusion:
It can be concluded from power analysis that SPARTAN-7 device is the most powerefficient
and ZYNQ Ultra scale+utilizes the highest amount of power. However, KINTEX-7 Ultrascale
device lies in the middle of both these devices as far as power consumption is concerned.
There is a reduction of 43.07% TP consumption for SPARTAN-7 device with SSTL135 IO when
equated with ZYNQ Ultra scale+ with SSTL18_I IO. Also, it can be observed from sections 5.1, 5.2
and 5.3 that there is more contribution of DP in TP consumption than SP. Hence the device utilizes
additional power when it is in active state than static state. Since PWM generator is an integral part of
data and wireless communication, it should require less power for proficient transmission and wellorganized
green computing and communication.

Authors: Wang Qingyi , Chang Zhuo , Liu Xiaofang , Wang Yunrui , Feng Chuwen , Ping Yunlu , Feng Xiaoling 
Published: January 2024

Background
Machine learning is a potentially effective method for predicting the response to platinum-based treatment for ovarian cancer. However, the predictive performance of various machine learning methods and variables is still a matter of controversy and debate.

Objective
This study aims to systematically review relevant literature on the predictive value of machine learning for platinum-based chemotherapy responses in patients with ovarian cancer.

Methods
Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases for relevant studies on predictive models for platinum-based therapies for the treatment of ovarian cancer published before April 26, 2023. The Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias in the included articles. Concordance index (C-index), sensitivity, and specificity were used to evaluate the performance of the prediction models to investigate the predictive value of machine learning for platinum chemotherapy responses in patients with ovarian cancer.

Results
A total of 1749 articles were examined, and 19 of them involving 39 models were eligible for this study. The most commonly used modeling methods were logistic regression (16/39, 41%), Extreme Gradient Boosting (4/39, 10%), and support vector machine (4/39, 10%). The training cohort reported C-index in 39 predictive models, with a pooled value of 0.806; the validation cohort reported C-index in 12 predictive models, with a pooled value of 0.831. Support vector machine performed well in both the training and validation cohorts, with a C-index of 0.942 and 0.879, respectively. The pooled sensitivity was 0.890, and the pooled specificity was 0.790 in the training cohort.

Conclusions
Machine learning can effectively predict how patients with ovarian cancer respond to platinum-based chemotherapy and may provide a reference for the development or updating of subsequent scoring systems.
Design and Implementation of a Brief Digital Mindfulness and Compassion Training App for Health Care Professionals: Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Jaiswal Satish , Purpura Suzanna R , Manchanda James K , Nan Jason , Azeez Nihal , Ramanathan Dhakshin , Mishra Jyoti 
Published: January 2024

Background
Several studies show that intense work schedules make health care professionals particularly vulnerable to emotional exhaustion and burnout.

Objective
In this scenario, promoting self-compassion and mindfulness may be beneficial for well-being. Notably, scalable, digital app–based methods may have the potential to enhance self-compassion and mindfulness in health care professionals.

Methods
In this study, we designed and implemented a scalable, digital app–based, brief mindfulness and compassion training program called “WellMind” for health care professionals. A total of 22 adult participants completed up to 60 sessions of WellMind training, 5-10 minutes in duration each, over 3 months. Participants completed behavioral assessments measuring self-compassion and mindfulness at baseline (preintervention), 3 months (postintervention), and 6 months (follow-up). In order to control for practice effects on the repeat assessments and calculate effect sizes, we also studied a no-contact control group of 21 health care professionals who only completed the repeated assessments but were not provided any training. Additionally, we evaluated pre- and postintervention neural activity in core brain networks using electroencephalography source imaging as an objective neurophysiological training outcome.

Results
Findings showed a post- versus preintervention increase in self-compassion (Cohen d=0.57; P=.007) and state-mindfulness (d=0.52; P=.02) only in the WellMind training group, with improvements in self-compassion sustained at follow-up (d=0.8; P=.01). Additionally, WellMind training durations correlated with the magnitude of improvement in self-compassion across human participants (ρ=0.52; P=.01). Training-related neurophysiological results revealed plasticity specific to the default mode network (DMN) that is implicated in mind-wandering and rumination, with DMN network suppression selectively observed at the postintervention time point in the WellMind group (d=–0.87; P=.03). We also found that improvement in self-compassion was directly related to the extent of DMN suppression (ρ=–0.368; P=.04).

Conclusions
Overall, promising behavioral and neurophysiological findings from this first study demonstrate the benefits of brief digital mindfulness and compassion training for health care professionals and compel the scale-up of the digital intervention.

Confucianesimo e Sciamanesimo nel medio periodo Koryŏ: dinamiche di uno scontro
Authors: Campa Marco 
Published: January 2024

In questo articolo si analizza la situazione della religione nativa popolare coreana, comunemente descritta col termine ombrello di “sciamanesimo”, durante la metà e la seconda parte del periodo Koryŏ. Lo studio tenta di espandere e correggere alcune assunzioni di base del lavoro di Lee Seog-Ju (2010), il quale ha descritto la dialettica esistente tra l’élite confuciana, la casa reale, il buddismo e lo sciamanesimo in epoca Koryŏ, correggendo come detto alcuni assunti storici dell’autore. Nello specifico si terrà conto de: la pervasività della dottrina nell’aiuto esterno dei bodhisattva nella Corea medievale come notato da Yung Sung-chan (2016); l’esistenza di un sincretismo tra le dottrina confuciane e quelle buddiste, notato da Kim Jongmyung (2016) e Vermeersch (2020); la natura sincretica dello sciamanesimo in rapporto col buddismo, notata da più autori quali Grayson (1992) e McBride (2007), infine, l’importanza dello sciamanesimo nei riti nazionali preesistenti come l’Assemblea delle Otto Proibizioni, sottolineata da Vermeersch (2007). Tesi di questo articolo è dimostrare come lo scontro con lo sciamanesimo da parte degli intellettuali confuciani di Koryŏ fosse dovuto non tanto da una supposta devianza dall’ortodossia confuciana da parte della religione nativa, ma da una sua non aderenza ai canoni dei riti del buddismo di Stato. Lo scritto si muoverà secondo il seguente schema: anzitutto verrà brevemente analizzata la società del regno di Koryŏ nei suoi aspetti religiosi, culturali, sociali e politici, verrà poi data una descrizione della relazione trai due attori in campo, vale a dire lo sciamanesimo e il confucianesimo in relazione al buddismo, infine verranno fornite le conclusioni dello studio.
The Effects of Varying Diagnostic Records on Subjective Orthodontic Treatment Priority Assessments
Authors: Greenhill R. , Basford K. 
Published: January 2024

Summary
With the introduction of dental public health programmes throughout the world malocclusion severity and treatment priority assessments are a matter of interest to the orthodontic profession. Public health administrators have attempted to remove the subjectivity of clinical assessment by the use of objective indices of malocclusion. However, at the present time subjective assessment by orthodontists would appear to be the most satisfactory method of making treatment priority assessments for orthodontic cases. The studies which have investigated the variability of treatment priortiy scores made by examiners show approximately twenty per cent of cases produce variations in the assessments made.
Many of the studies related to examiner variability, when making treatment priority estimates, have relied upon assessments made from study models only. Recently, some studies have made reference to the fact that more extensive diagnostic records may reduce the variability of examiners’ scores when making treatment priority assessments. The literature also shows there has been little research directed at possible sex bias by examiners when making treatment priority assessments.
This project has investigated the variability in treatment priority assessments made by orthodontists, dentists and lay examiners when differing diagnostic records of each case were provided on three separate occasions. Also variations in treatment priority assessments for male and female cases have been investigated.
Morphogenetic fields within the dentition
Authors: Townsend Grant C. , Brown Tasman 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The concept of genetic control of tooth size and shape by specific morphogenetic fields that control tooth formation originated from studies of the mammalian dentition and later, from the observation that within the human dentition certain key teeth within a class were more stable in size and morphology. More recently, analyses of tooth size from different populations have supported the general ideas inherent in this field theory, however multivariate analyses of tooth size relationships suggest that this genetic control may be more complex than previously envisaged.
The precise nature of cellular and tissue interactions during odontogenesis is not fully understood but experimental.studies point to the important role of the dental papilla and perhaps specific RNA sequences, proteoglycans and collagens.are important in these epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Such experimental studies will help to clarify not only the nature of the odontogenic process but also the extent of the involvement of . the genetic field and clone theories for tooth formation.
This paper summarizes some of the evidence for morphogenetic control over tooth formation that has accrued from morphological and experimental studies. It also suggests directions along which future studies are likely to proceed.
A clinical comparison of different powder: liquid ratios of two glass ionomer cements on the retention of orthodontic molar bands
Authors: Fricker John P. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe clinical significance of adding 50 percent more powder to a standard mix of two glass ionomer luting cements was assessed.Failure rates (loose bands) were recorded over a 12 month period and removal of cement was subjectively assessed at the time of band removal. There was no significant difference between Fuji I standard and heavy mix or between Ketac Cem standard and heavy mix.Cement deposits at band removal were always on enamel surfaces. The heavier mix of each cement was far more difficult to remove, and may have significance in restorative dentistry. There were no cases of enamel demineralisation around the margins of bands at the time of band removal.
An aligning auxiliary for ribbon arch brackets: rectangular boxes from ultrafine high tensile wires
Authors: Molenhauer Barry 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
For the last thirty years, those using the ribbon arch brackets have disregarded the control of the apices at the start of treatment, if they have followed Begg principles. This was done for simplicity in teaching especially during the early short courses, and for anchorage purposes, yet Dr Begg’s original article showed torquing control early in treatment. The problem of anchorage can now be overcome with the use of extremely light wires for bodily alignment which were not available to Dr Begg. Furthermore, clinical observations by other practitioners have confirmed the author’s observation that such extremely light constant forces seem to remodel cortical bone in many patients, such as when instanding lateral incisors are brought forward. The principal reason for presenting this article is the theoretical implication - for orthodontics in general — of the possibility of cortical bone remodelling by fixed appliances. The secondary reason is that it is becoming accepted as a major advance in the Begg appliance.
The use of psychometric tests in the evaluation of patients presenting for orthognathic surgery - a preliminary report
Authors: Lew Kenneth K.K. , Peh L.H. , Yeoh A. , Pang E, 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Psychological evaluation in some orthognathic patients may be necessary as the psychosocial stress of the deformity may lead to psychiatrie morbidity such as depression or paranoid disorders. It is also possible for patients with underlying psychosis to present first to the dental surgeon for jaw correction. The use of several psychological tests appropriate for patients presenting with dentofacial deformities is discussed. Nine patients with skeletal malocclusions who were referred for psychiatrie assessment are reported here. Three case vignettes are included to give an impression of the type of clinical situations where such an assessment may be helpful.
The perioral muscular phenomenon: Part I.
Authors: Frederick Sidney 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
More than twenty-five years of studying the perioral musculature, clinical observation of the dental and peridental tissues of hundreds of patients, and examining seven anatomy books — have revealed that there is a serious deficiency in our knowledge of this musculature and its effects on the dental tissues and this part of the face. Believed to be of no unusual significance, it has been almost ignored through the years. One hears vague terms such as lip pressure and cheek pressure; but no comprehensive studies of this musculature, how it functions and the effects of these functions are to be found in literature. By its actions, this musculature effects many phases of dentistry, directly or indirectly; and orthodontics is affected most of all. By its manipulations of the dental tissues, the alveolar bone and gingiva, it ultimately determines the position of the teeth. Almost every person is a live laboratory specimen in which pressure signs or damage to the tissues can be observed. By reading these signs, the strength and physical configuration of the pertinent parts of the musculature can be determined. This ability to ‘read the signs’ should be actively developed to fine tune the diagnosis. The perioral musculature phenomenon is a significant aetiological factor in many malocclusions.
First report of Pratylenchus penetrans (Nematoda: Pratylenchidae) associated with artichokes in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Thi Duyen , Nguyen Huu Tien , LE Thi Mai Linh , Trinh Quang Phap 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Pratylenchus penetrans is one of the world’s most common and destructive root-lesion nematodes and can parasitize more than 400 plant species. P. penetrans has been reported to cause serious damage to artichokes in several countries, such as Greece, Brazil, and France. Until now, there have been no reports of P. penetrans associated with artichokes in Vietnam. In this study, we recorded this species in artichoke fields in Lam Dong province, Vietnam with an average density of 50 nematodes/100g of soil (frequency of appearance at 64.7%). This nematode was associated with symptoms such as yellowing leaves, stunt, and root necrosis of artichokes in Vietnam, indicating its high damaging potential and a need for suitable control strategies. The identification of this species in our study was confirmed by morphology, morphometric data, and molecular characterization of 18S and 28S rRNA regions. Our study also provides the first molecular data of P. penetrans in Vietnam. The inclusion of molecular data for P. penetrans in Vietnam represents a significant contribution to the scientific community and a pivotal advancement in addressing nematode-related challenges in agriculture. This dataset serves as an invaluable reference for various molecular-focused endeavors, including but not limited to molecular identification, pathogenicity studies, and the development of effective management strategies.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
It is well known that wood tends to shrink and swell as the relative humidity of the air changes. There have been, and still are, attempts to make dimensionally stable wood panels such as Dendrolight®. The physical-mechanical, operational, including acoustic, properties of this material have been significantly improved compared to traditional wood-based panels. However, the production of this material requires very specific processing equipment and a large energy investment. The developers of this material in Latvia invented and patented wood, Lightweight Stabilised Blockboard (LSB). In order for this material to be used in the production of various products, it is necessary to clarify its characteristic, technological, as well as operational properties. The study gathers information about the sound absorption properties of various natural and wood materials, characteristics, and the sound absorption of the studied material at different sound frequencies. The reviewed sources of information indicate that nowadays there are still problems in sound conduction and absorption and isolation issues are being addressed in building acoustics. The production of samples and the determination of sound absorption were carried out using a developed methodology developed in accordance with regulatory requirements. The data obtained in the practical study were compared with the relevant indicators of the Dendrolight® and wood-based panels used for building structures and to determine their compliance with the requirements set forth in the standards ISO 10534-2 and ISO 11654. Research data show that LSB corresponds to E sound absorption class in some of the investigated frequencies.
