Authors: Das Madhushree , Kumar Manish , Karim Adnan Asad , Kumar Manoj 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Paddy straw waste was pyrolyzed to produce biochar with a portable low-cost rotatable drum kiln and its efficacy to ameliorate salinity limitations in coastal sandy soils collected from Puri, Odisha was studied through completely random design (CRD) pot experiments. Four levels of salinity were maintained in experimental pots using different quantities of coastal seawater i.e. 0 (control), 5 (moderate), 10 (severe), and 20 (extremely severe) PSU. Triplicate biochar treatment doses (wt/wt basis) i.e. 0.5%, 1%, and 2 % were applied to experimental pots and 14 days mung bean (Vigna radiata var. NVL-516) plant germination, growth, and physiological (Total Chlorophyll) parameters were studied to evaluate the ameliorating influence of biochar. The experimental results suggest a better influence of 1% biochar treatment towards overall mung plant growth and available nutrient content in moderate i.e., 5PSU salinity level by alleviating the effect of salt stress with an increase in biochar dose and salinity level beyond 5 PSU, the positive influence of biochar was decreased. Compared to untreated soil, biochar ameliorated the physicochemical properties of tested coastal saline sandy soil.
Terahertz polarimetric imaging of biological tissues: Monte Carlo modeling of signal contrast mechanisms due to Mie scattering
Authors: Xu Kuangyi , Arbab M. Hassan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Many promising biomedical applications have been proposed for terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and diagnostic imaging techniques. Polarimetric imaging systems are generally useful for enhancing imaging contrasts, yet the interplay between THz polarization changes and the random discrete structures in biological samples are not well understood. In this work, we performed Monte Carlo simulations of the propagation of polarized THz waves in skin and adipose tissues based on the Mie scattering from intrinsic structures, such as hair follicles or sweat glands. We show that the polarimetric contrasts are distinctly affected by concentration, size and dielectric properties of the scatterers, as well as the frequency and polarization of the incident THz waves. We describe the experimental requirements for observing and extracting these polarimetric signals due to the low energy and small angular spread of the back-scattered THz radiation. We analyzed the spatially integrated Mueller matrices of samples in the normal-incidence back-scattering geometry. We show that the frequency-dependent degree of polarization (DOP) can be used to infer the concentrations and dielectric contents of the scattering structures. Our modeling approach can be used to inform the design of the imaging modalities and the interpretation of the spectroscopic data in future terahertz biomedical imaging applications.

Abstract
The UFMC waveform is a type of physical layer, used by Cognitive Radio systems, to achieve reliable communication by using adaptive spectrum access. It is designed to provide interference-free communication without erasing the signals of the existing licensed users. The UFMC waveform is advantageous in Cognitive Radio networks because it can be very easily configured for different operating scenarios, providing both reliable and efficient communication. MIMO-UFMC-based transmissions, when used in combination with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions, have become widely accepted air interfaces that significantly improve spectral efficiency. This work presents a hybrid technique (HEDSLCT) as mathematical formulation of expressions that enable the analysis of ED performance based on the square-law combining (SLC) method in MIMO-UFMC systems, considering the future massive implementation of these systems in the fourth and fifth generation of mobile networks. The developed algorithms were used to conduct simulations for analyzing the performance of an ED process based on the SLC in MIMO-UFMC systems with varied numbers of transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) communication branches. The results of these simulations enabled an evaluation of the ED performance. This paper presents an analysis of the effects of various factors, such as PU Tx power, false alarm probability, number of Tx and Rx MIMO branches, number of samples in ED process, and modulation techniques, on ED performance according to different signal-to-noise ratios. The obtained results of a comprehensive analysis showed that an appropriate selection of the evaluated factors could be used to improve the energy detection performance of multiple-input multiple-output ultra-wideband frequency-division multiplexing-based cognitive radio networks.
A breast tumor detection method based on spatial attention
Authors: Zhang Fangyan , Xu Xinzheng , Wang Peng 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most dangerous killer for women. Accurate early diagnosis is the first step of treatment. This paper proposes a breast cancer detection model CBAMDNet based on breast pathological sections and deep learning. We adopt a pre-trained DenseNet121 embedded with spatial attention mechanism as the backbone model. Three random network models are trained in CBAMDNet to predict, and fused through majority voting to obtain more accurate results. We used a breast pathological section image data set to evaluate the generalization ability of our CBAMDNet, using 4 times cross validation. Simulation experiments show that CBAMDNet can produce higher classification results than the four existing breast cancer classification methods. Therefore, our CBAMDNet is an accurate tool to detect breast cancer and can be used for clinical diagnosis.
Enhancing Heat Transfer in Industrial Heat Exchangers with Water-Based GO Nanofluids: Comprehensive Analysis and Performance Optimization
Authors: Mousavi Seyed Borhan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this study, the heat transfer characteristics within the heat exchanger using water-based GO nanofluids were comprehensively assessed. An apparatus was constructed by scaling down an industrial heat exchanger. The nanofluid’s thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, viscosity, density, Prandtl number, and Nusselt number were examined at varying temperatures and GO nanoparticle concentrations. The results revealed that the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid increased with both temperature and nanoparticle concentration, reaching its peak value of 0.380 W.m− 1. K− 1 at 85°C and 0.1%wt, leading to enhanced heat transfer rates through conduction and convection mechanisms. The specific heat capacity increased with temperature but decreased with higher GO nanoparticle contents, with a maximum value of 3403.821 J.kg− 1. K− 1 was recorded at 40°C and 0.01%wt. The viscosity of the nanofluid increased with higher concentrations of GO nanoparticles, and the minimum value of 0.83 mpa.s was observed at 85°C and 0.01%wt. The Prandtl number decreased with temperature but increased with increasing GO nanoparticle concentration, suggesting a transition from convective to conductive heat transfer. A newly derived correlation equation for the Nusselt number, Nu = 0.0059(1 + 7.62φ0.6886)Pe0.001Re0.9238Pr0.4, allows predicting heat transfer enhancement in nanofluids. The findings emphasize the potential of nanofluids for improving heat exchanger performance and offer valuable insights for optimizing nanofluid applications in thermal systems.
Birth outcomes of twin’s pregnancy and associated factors in selected public Hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2022
Authors: Getaneh Chala , Chernet Daniel , Lambebo Abera 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background
Twin birth is a type of multiple births when the mother gives birth to two offspring from the same pregnancy. The prevalence rates range from less than 8 twin pregnancies per 1,000 births in the East and Southern Asia, India, and Oceania to 17 or more per 1,000 births in Africa. There are factors to increase the negative birth outcome of twin delivery; from these, some of them are associated with increased maternal age, prim parity, low birth weight, chronic disease, low ANC follow-up, and PROM. Adverse birth outcome for twin delivery is a critical health issue in developing countries such as Ethiopia. It resulted in many bad consequences, neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality.
Objective
The objective of this study was to assess birth out come and associated factors of twin’s pregnancy in selected public Hospitals, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Methods
Facility based cross sectional study was conducted on 246 maternal records of twin delivery in selected public hospitals of Addis Ababa to assess birth out come and associated factors of twin’s pregnancy from December, 2020-June, 2021.A pretested questionnaire which will be analyzed by SPSS and result will be reported in tables, bivariate and multivariate regression will be done to show correlations by Crude and adjusted odds ratio. A confidence limit of 95% and p- value less than 0.05 will be used as cut of point to see presence of statistical significance.
Result
The prevalence of adverse birth outcome (Both maternal and fetal) among twin delivery in the three selected public hospitals of Addis Ababa is 234 (95%). majority, 156(63.4%) were in the age group 18–28 years, with the mean age of 29.78 and Standard deviation of ± 6.53.Most of the mothers 227(92%) were married. Mothers who had Pregnancy induced hypertension (AOR = 10.465, 95% CI (2.922–37.474)), Mothers who had ruptured membrane before the onset of Labor (AOR = 3.577, 95% CI (1.198–10.682)) and Mothers who labor for more than 12 hours were (AOR = 3.324, 95% CI (1.101–10.034)) were significantly associated with adverse maternal birth outcome. While mothers who had ANC follow up at private clinic (AOR = 0.252, 95% CI (0.098–0.649)) and Mothers who live outside Addis Ababa were unlikely to have adverse fetal outcome (AOR = 0.343, 95% CI (0.143–0.826)).
Conclusion
Adverse birth outcome of Twins pregnancy is relatively higher when compared to similar studies conducted in Ethiopia. The Health facilities should have effective risk assessment in Antenatal care unit and labor ward. It is also recommended to have guidelines and protocols for the management of twin’s pregnancy. Since the Prevalence of Adverse twin’s Birth outcome is higher greater attention should be given on both Antepartum and Intrapartum care.

Authors: Lima Brenda Laudano , Spinola Carolina de Andrade 
Published: December 2023

A Sífilis, doença milenar, ainda é um problema à saúde pública, especialmente quando congênita e em regiões mais pobres. Por isso, requer melhor compreensão sobre os aspectos que favorecem sua ocorrência. Considerada como doença negligenciada pelo mainstream, existem questionamentos sobre esta classificação. Este artigo buscou discutir como as categorias: sífilis congênita, vulnerabilidade social e doenças negligenciadas têm sido relacionadas pelos autores e identificar os condicionantes mais utilizados pelas análises. Adotando a revisão sistemática, foram incluídos 36 artigos, originados da SciElo, Web of Science e Scopus. Depreende-se que a discussão da Sífilis Congênita variou ao longo do tempo, revelando três correntes de abordagens distintas. Em concordância, a maioria dos autores reconhecem a existência de um cenário de vulnerabilidade para a referida doença, representado por aspectos sociodemográficos maternos, como a escolaridade reduzida, raças parda e preta, adultas jovens e residentes de localidades com baixa prosperidade. Ainda, alertam para a necessidade de que sejam realizados investimentos em ações sociais, interdisciplinares, para o manejo adequado do problema.
18 Months of Treatment with Triheptanoin in 2 Patients with Long Chain
Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders
Authors: Santos Helena , Vieira Ana , Tenente Joana , Carriço Ana , Rodrigues Esmeralda 
Published: December 2023

Introduction::
Long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD) are inborn errors of metabolism,
also identified in newborn screening in Portugal. They interfere with adequate energy
utilization, namely by muscles, heart, and liver. Treatment aims to maintain patients in an anabolic
state, with increased caloric intake, using carbohydrates and medium-chain fatty acids.
Treatment with triheptanoin (THP), a synthetic seven-carbon fatty acid triglyceride compound
with an anaplerotic effect that increases energy availability to the cell, has been advocated as an
efficacious and safe therapy in LC-FAOD.

Methods::
Retrospective revision of clinical records of 2 LC-FAOD patients comparing number,
severity and admissions for rhabdomyolysis crises, maximum CK values and weight gain in a
period of 18 months before and after treatment with THP.

Results/Case Report::
Patient 1 is a 12 year old male with VLCADD, with main manifestation
being rhabdomyolysis crises. After he started THP we found a decrease in admissions (6 to 2),
less rhabdomyolysis crises treated at home (5 to 3), and lower maximum CK values (72352 U/L
to 13.000U/L). He had a large increase in weight - 13kg in 18 months. He was able to start pool
exercises with no rhabdomyolysis associated. Patient 2 is an 8 year old male with LCAHDD,
with main manifestations being rhabdomyolysis crises and retinopathy. After he started THP we
found a decrease in admissions (4 to 1), no rhabdomyolysis crises treated at home, and lower
maximum CK values (100.000U/L to 19848 U/L). He also increased his weight - 7kg in 18
months. He plays football in school and swims with no rhabdomyolysis associated. In both patients,
no major side effects were observed.

Conclusion::
In our patients, we could observe a reduction in the number of admissions, and less
severe rhabdomyolysis crises after THP use. The weight gain was significant. There were no
major side effects. Despite regarding only two patients, our findings are in line with the latest
literature on THP and LC-FAOD, reinforcing the utility of THP as one more tool in the treatment
of these disorders with rhabdomyolysis as the main manifestation. The weight increase is
an issue to be aware of and to address from the start of the treatment.

Authors: Tyagi Bhavishya , Verma Madhu 
Published: December 2023

Background::
A nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) is a nanoparticulate carrier system consisting of solid lipids, liquid lipids, surfactants, and water. NLCs are
second-generation lipid nanocarriers, gained continuous significance in recent times, and possess better physical stability, increased drug loading,
improved permeability, and bioavailability. They are considered superior to many other traditional lipid-based nanocarriers such as nanoemulsion,
liposomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and have emerged as an alternative to first-generation nanoparticles (SLN). NLCs have significant
potential in the pharmaceutical industry due to their extensive beneficial effects, like drug targeting, enhanced bioavailability, and their wide
positive benefits.

Objective::
The primary aim of this review was to study and explore the Nano lipid carrier, its advantages, patent preferences, and advancement of NLCs use
in nose-to-brain drug delivery

Methods::
The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review on the development of NLC for nose-to-brain drug delivery. The review focused on
NLC, its significant role in nose-to-brain delivery, and relevant patents. To achieve this goal, different review articles searched, were studied, and
summarized from various sources such as research articles, review articles, books, scientific reports, and patents.

Conclusion::
This review article discusses the potential benefits of NLCs in brain-targeting drug delivery through the intranasal route and key aspects of NLCs,
including their structure composition, formulation technique, and characterization, which are crucial for developing a reliable drug delivery.
Analysis of Statistical and Deep Learning Techniques for Temperature
Forecasting
Authors: Ganesan Kruthika Sriram , Rajasekaran Umamaheswari , Alagarsamy Malini , Sharma Vandana 
Published: December 2023

Abstract:
In the field of meteorology, temperature forecasting is a significant task as it has
been a key factor in industrial, agricultural, renewable energy, and other sectors. High accuracy
in temperature forecasting is needed for decision-making in advance. Since temperature varies
over time and has been studied to have non-trivial long-range correlation, non-linear behavior,
and seasonal variability, it is important to implement an appropriate methodology to forecast
accurately. In this paper, we have reviewed the performance of statistical approaches such as
AR and ARIMA with RNN, LSTM, GRU, and LSTM-RNN Deep Learning models. The models were tested for short-term temperature forecasting for a period of 48 hours. Among the statistical models, the AR model showed notable performance with a r2 score of 0.955 for triennial 1 and for the same, the Deep Learning models also performed nearly equal to that of the statistical models and thus hybrid LSTM-RNN model was tested. The hybrid model obtained the
highest r2 score of 0.960. The difference in RMSE, MAE and r2 scores are not significantly
different for both Statistical and Vanilla Deep Learning approaches. However, the hybrid model provided a better r2 score, and LIME explanations have been generated for the same in order
to understand the dependencies over a point forecast. Based on the reviewed results, it can be
concluded that for short-term forecasting, both Statistical and Deep Learning models perform
nearly equally.
Unveiling the significance of Chikitsa Siddhanta with special reference to Yoga Basti in Sandhigata Vata - A Case Study
Authors: P Suganya Devi  , K. Savitha R Shenoy  , Sri Nagesh K A  
Published: December 2023

Sandhigata Vata is a disease mentioned under Vatavyadhi in Ayurvedic classics which can be Dhatukshaya Janya or Avarana Janya.[1] The prevalence of Sandhigata Vata is found to be higher with advancement in age which inhibits the ambulation of major population. The quality of life rapidly drops down because of hampered day to day activities. One of the reasons for this prevailing condition is probably because of existing lacuna in establishing appropriate treatment protocol. Resolving this requires, proper understanding of Chikitsa Siddhanta (Ayurvedic treatment principles) like Dosha Pratyanika Chikitsa, Vyadhi Pratyanika Chikitsa, Vyatyasa Chikitsa etc. pertaining to Sandhigata Vata which are scattered in our classical texts. Hence there is a need to understand this disease clinically with the help of appropriate Chikitsa Siddhanta to subdue the grey area concerned with effective management of Sandhigata Vata. Acquiring the knowledge of a disease based on Chikitsa Siddhanta would enable us to accomplish target oriented treatment and attain clarity over subject. Ayurvedic management of Sandhigata Vata has an upper hand compared to other contemporary sciences as, Ayurvedic management targets in treating root cause of Vyadhi rather than just symptomatic treatment. In the present study, a single case of Sandhigata Vata has been taken, studied and is explained by holding the basic principles of Chikitsa Siddhanta.
