A Systematic Approach for Generating Manglish Code-Mixed Customer Reviews from Amazon’s Monolingual English Customer Review Corpus
Authors: Bhagya Sree S , S Nadera Beevi 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Code-mixing (CM), the blending of two or more languages within a discourse, is common in multilingual societies. The lack of codemixed training data is a primary concern for developing end-to-end AI models intended for deployment in various natural language processing (NLP) applications. Manually creating or crowdsourcing the code-mixed labelled data for the task at hand is a viable option. However, it requires significant human labour and is often impractical due to the language-specific variation of the codemixed text. To bypass the issue of data scarcity, we offer an efficient method for automatically generating code-mixed Malayalam-English (Manglish) text from Monolingual English text data collected from the Amazon customer review corpus without any parallel data. English to Manglish translation is a less studied research problem. The generated synthetic code-mixed Manglish text data can be used to train the AI models for various NLP tasks in code-mixed context. The codemixed text generator in this work is based on the linguistic and task-independent characteristics derived from a transformer-based language model called LaBSE. The generated corpus is then evaluated using a variety of objective metrics. We intend to expand it by incorporating further implementations of linguistic theories, improved NER and parsing methods and implementing a variety of NLP applications, with the expectation that this will permit more study on code-mixing in different language pairs.

Abstract
The global demand for water conservation and sustainability in textile manufacturing is imperative in addressing the scarcity of fresh water and environmental pollution. This study introduces an innovative water-saving process for exhaust dyeing of cotton fabrics with reactive dyes, without compromising the dyeing quality or requiring extra investments. Traditional textile dyeing practices consume approximately 120 liters of fresh water per kilogram of cotton fabric, contributing to environmental degradation. In this research, a process modification is proposed that recycles water used for neutralization and rinsing at the second step of the dyeing process. This recycled water is utilized in the fourth step, effectively reducing the total water consumption to 104 liters per kilogram of fabric, thus saving 16 liters per kilogram without any additional investment. The dyed fabrics produced using this water-saving process exhibit excellent colorfastness, matching the quality of conventionally dyed textiles. The color fastness to light, washing, rubbing, and perspiration meets international standards. CMC tests indicate no significant differences compared to the existing dyeing process. Implementing this eco-friendly approach can not only significantly reduce water consumption and wastewater generation but also diminish the need for costly water treatment and effluent management facilities. This research paves the way for cleaner production in the textile industry, promoting water conservation, reducing environmental pollution, and minimizing production costs.

Authors: Tomás Rita , Campos António , Oliveira Nuno , Soares Pedro , Sousa João 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Background: In neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) trials, anti-VEGF injection frequency declines after the first year, while outcomes remain primarily related to the number of injections. To date, there are no documented real-life cases in the literature reporting long-term preservation of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for more than 7 years in nAMD.
We present a 12-year follow-up of a real-life case of nAMD where BCVA was preserved.
Case presentation: A 67-year-old Caucasian female presented to our department in June 2010 due to decreased vision in her left eye (LE) within the preceding months. Examination showed a BCVA of 85 letters (L) in the right eye (RE) and 35 L in the LE. Fundus examination showed drusen in the macula of both eyes and macular edema in the LE. A diagnosis of Type 1 choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV) in the RE and Type 2 CNV in the LE was established. She undergone 7 injections within the first year in either eye. The LE had a mean of five injections per year, and the RE had a mean of seven injections per year, from 2010 to 2022. RE's BCVA dropped by 8 L (85 L to 77 L) and central retinal thickness (CRT) increased by 16 μm (276 μm to 292 μm), while LE’s BCVA increased by 28 L (35 L to 63 L) and CRT decreased by 369 μm (680 μm to 311 μm), at the twelfth year.
Conclusions: The number of injections is paramount in preserving BCVA and achieving favorable functional outcomes in nAMD, even after 12 years of treatment.
Semantic Similarity and Plagiarism Checker

Abstract
Today all educational institutes stress on the importance of continuous evaluation. This directly impacts the number of assessments to be done for various projects, quizzes, assignments, and exams. It becomes a time and resource- intensive task for the instructors to evaluate these submissions with accuracy. Additionally, the instructor also needs to keep a check on whether any student has plagiarized from the web or if there is any case of intrinsic plagiarism among the students. With a huge set of information on the internet, one can easily get away with plagiarism. There are tools available for such requirements, but almost all of them are paid, and moreover, instructors need to run them one by one, which is a difficult task in itself. Thus, we developed a one-stop solution for the entire problem, which, as per our knowledge, is not in place. We have developed a single tool that can measure semantic plagiarism (based on meaning), text entailment, online plagiarism, and real plagiarism as well. In the future, work can be aligned in the direction of semantics of research papers as well to grade answers.

Abstract
Depressive disorders are a main cause of disability-adjusted life years already in children and adolescents, in whom the clinical picture somewhat differs from adult-onset depression. Thus, we studied sociodemographic and clinical predictors of depression/dysthymia in a sample of minors. Our baseline sample (N=676) included patients at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P, n=183), inpatients admitted for non-psychotic, non-affective disorders (n=277), and community participants (n=216) of age 7.0 to 17.9 years (43.8% male). They were assessed by clinical psychologists for mental disorders and symptoms with various clinical interviews including the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents, which was also used to assess depression/dysthymia in the CHR-P group at 1- and 2-year-follow up (n=117 and 73, respectively). Analyses followed a stepwise procedure at baseline with stepwise logistic regression analyses to identify the final baseline model that was tested in the follow-up samples. The final cross-sectional model included nationality and 13 clinical variables Mild depressive symptoms in particular played a decisive role here. Variables contributing significantly to the prediction varied over time, indicating that CAD depression/dysthymia may require different predictors depending on the follow-up time. Furthermore, the prospective accuracy of ruling out depression/dysthymia was superior to the accuracy of ruling it in. This lower positive likelihood ratio might be overcome in future by stepwise approaches that further stratify risk in those initially identified as at increased risk of depression/dysthymia.
Compressible and anelastic governing-equation solution methods for thermospheric gravity waves with realistic background parameters
Authors: Knight Harold , Broutman Dave , Eckermann Stephen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

A previously developed numerical-multilayer modeling approach for systems of governing equationsis extended so that unwanted terms can be removed from the dispersion-relation polynomialassociated with the system. The new approach is applied to linearized anelastic and compressiblesystems of governing equations for gravity waves including molecular viscosity and thermaldiffusion. The ability to remove unwanted terms from the dispersion-relation polynomialis crucial for solving the governing equations when realistic background parameters, such as horizontal velocity and temperature, with strong vertical gradients, are included. With the unwanted terms removed, previously studied dispersion-relation polynomials, for which methods for defining upgoing and downgoing vertical wavenumber rootsalready exist, are obtained. The new methods are applied to a comprehensive set of medium-scale time-wavepacketexamples, with realistic background parameters, lower boundary conditions at 30 km altitude, and modeled wavefields extending up to 500 km altitude. Result from the compressibleand anelastic model versions are compared, with compressible governing-equation solutionsunderstood as the more physically accurate of the two. The new methods provide significantlyless computationally expensive alternatives to nonlinear time-step methods, which makesthem useful for comprehensive studies of the behavior of viscous/diffusive gravity wavesand also for large studies of cases based on observational data.Additionally, they generalize previously existing Fourier methods that have been applied to inviscidproblems while providing a theoretical framework for the study of viscous/diffusive gravity waves.

Authors: Lim Seung Joo , Choi Wang Kyu 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The radiation-induced decomposition of oxalic acid was investigated. Co-60 was used for irradiation source and the efficiency of radiolytic decomposition was estimated using G-value and dose constant. Oxalic acid was successfully decomposed by ionizing radiation process of gamma irradiation. The removal of oxalic acid at 10 mM was 16.6, 36.5, 69.5, 83.4, and 92.2% for absorbed dose of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 kGy, respectively. The G-value and dose constant for radiolytic decomposition were highly dependent upon the initial concentration of oxalic acid. The G-values for radiolytic decomposition at 5 kGy were 0.82, 2.09, 7.25, 17.02 for initial concentrations of 1, 2, 5, and 10 mM, respectively, but those at 50 kGy were 0.03, 0.04, 0.07, 0.16. The dose constant for 1, 2, 5 and 10 mM were 0.1695, 0.1221, 0.0904, and 0.0536 1/kGy, respectively. The results of this study showed the possibility of ionizing radiation process to decompose decontamination agents in nuclear power plants.

Authors: Devi Ramona 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper presents a multi-agent testbed equipped with an indoor vision-based positioning system designed for the control and localization of a fleet of ground robots. This positioning system relies on overhead cameras that detect AprilTags affixed to the top of each ground robot. These cameras are connected to Raspberry Pi microcontrollers, which communicate the position information to the ground agents through a Wi-Fi network. This system provides each ground agent with accurate position information, akin to an indoor GPS system, facilitating indoor formation control and multi-agent communication. The implementation of this system is demonstrated using NVIDIA's JetBot as the ground vehicle, equipped with a Jetson Nano microcontroller. I employ PID control techniques to implement formation control, and all agents and cameras communicate through the Robotic Operating System (ROS). The AprilTag library in Python is utilized for the detection and extraction of information from AprilTags.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Freshwater preservation and conservation are becoming more and more imperative as worldwide populations increase. Nowadays, making concrete needs huge quantities of freshwater. The present research shows research findings on the feasibility of substituting freshwater in concrete mixing with surface runoff water, RCC rooftop harvested rainwater and conventional water. RCC rooftop harvested water(HRW), surface runoff water(SW), bore well (BW) water, and potable water (PW) were the four sources from which samples were collected. Physical and chemical analysis was carried out on four various sources as per standard methods [APHA]. The performance of four different sources of water on physical properties i.e., setting time, workability, and mechanical properties of ordinary Portable cement (OPC) were examined and compared with conventional concrete specimens. According to the findings, all of the water's qualities from the various sources satisfy the recommended IS 456 (2012) and other standards for concrete-quality water. No significant change was observed in the mechanical properties of four different sources of water samples that were superior to those of conventional concrete. utilizing HRW and SW as alternatives to freshwater could save a lot of freshwater while also protecting the environment.

Authors: Liu Jiamei , Liu Simin , Zhao Linguo , Pei Jianjun 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Cellulose is the most abundant biomass in nature, and the development of high-value utilization technologies for cellulose is of great significance. In this work, a recombinant strain was engineered by introducing Arabidopsis thaliana glycosyltransferase (AtUGT78D2) and the cellobiose phosphorolysis route to produce astragalin from kaempferol. By optimizing the transformation conditions, the production of astragalin increased from 1053 to 3031 mg/L with the addition of cellobiose. Subsequently, the cellulose enzymatic solution was used to replace cellobiose as the carbon source and UDP-glucose precursor for producing astragalin. By optimizing enzymatic conditions and adding additives, the concentration of cellobiose significantly increased, resulting in an increase in the production of astragalin to 2279 mg/L. The adsorption strategy was employed to modulate the composition and activity of cellulase, and the ratio of cellobiose to glucose in the cellulose enzymatic solution increased from 0.73 to 1.62, with the yield of cellobiose reaching up to 5.9 g/L. Finally, the highest production of astragalin in the recombinant strain reached 2654 mg/L when the optimal ratio of cellobiose to glucose was used as the carbon source. This study provides a novel method for producing astragalin by using enzymatic hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
When ultra-short unipolar pulses overlap in a resonant medium, the formation of a dynamic “microcavity”, i.e. a burst of the population difference, is feasible. This paper presents, first, the relations allowing to calculate the parameters of such a microcavity using the analytical solution of the equations for the density matrix of a two-level medium, and second, the dependence of the microcavities’ parameters on the pulse form using the numerical solution of Maxwell-Bloch equations.

Authors: Juaristi Leire , Mar Javier , Guibelalde Ane , Irigoyen Cristina 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
PURPOSE
To compare the cost of a virtual retina clinic (VRC) with that of fully face-to-face (F2F) clinics in the follow-up of stable retinal diseases.
METHODS
A cost-minimization analysis (CMA) was conducted by measuring resource utilization of patients treated at Donostia University Hospital, for monitoring tests, performed in conventional F2F visits in 2019, and through the VRC in 2020. Our previous study on the VRC effectiveness demonstrated the equivalence of the results of the VRC and F2F approaches, as required for CMA, and a VRC sensitivity of 100% for detecting progression. The unit costs were obtained from the hospital´s accounting system. Furthermore, indirect costs related to labor productivity losses in patients and their companions were analyzed.
RESULTS
No significant differences were found between the total direct direct costs of the VRC and conventional clinics in the follow-up of 481 patients with stable retinal diseases. The differences detected were that VRC staff costs were significantly lower (54.5% vs. 76.8% for F2F clinics) while its equipment costs were higher (32.8% vs. 10%). Overall, including the costs of productivity losses, the VRC is significantly less expensive than in-person care as it more than halves indirect costs.
CONCLUSION
This first study analyzing the costs of a VRC versus fully F2F clinics found that it is not more expensive for the follow-up of stable retinal diseases. Additionally, taking into account indirect costs, the VRC is less expensive, and once the equipment has been acquired, its costs are lower than those of conventional clinics.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The present study aimed to screen small molecular compounds as the human noroviruses (HuNoV) inhibitors/modulators that could be potentially responsible for exhibiting some level of inhibitory activity against HuNoV 3CLPro. The structural similarity-based screening against ChEMBL database is performed against known chemical entities which are presently under pre-clinical trial. Molecules that remained after the similarity search were considered molecular docking using SCORCH and PLANTS. On detailed analyses and comparisons with control molecule, 3 hits (CHEMBL393820, CHEMBL2028556 and CHEMBL3747799) were found to be potential for HuNoV 3CLpro inhibition. The binding interaction analysis revealed several critical amino acids to hold the molecules tightly at the close proximity site of the catalytic residues. Further, three MD simulation study was performed in triplicate to understand the binding stability and potentiality of the proposed molecule towards HuNov 3CLpro. The binding free energy based on MM-GBSA has revealed their strong interaction affinity with 3CLpro.

Abstract

Importance: Skin pigmentation influences peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) measured by pulse oximetry compared to the arterial saturation of oxygen (SaO2) measured via arterial blood gas analysis. However, data on SpO2-SaO2 discrepancy are limited in venovenous-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) patients. Objective: To determine whether there is racial/ethnical discrepancy between SpO2 and SaO2 in patients receiving VV-ECMO. We hypothesized VV-ECMO cannulation, in addition to race/ethnicity, accentuates the SpO2-SaO2 discrepancy due to significant hemolysis. Design: Retrospective cohort study of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry from 1/2018-5/2023. Setting: International, multicenter registry study including over 500 ECMO centers. Participants: Adults (≥ 18 years) supported with VV-ECMO with concurrently measured SpO2 and SaO2 measurements. Exposure: Race/ethnicity and ECMO cannulation. Main outcomes and measures: Occult hypoxemia (SaO2 ≤ 88% with SpO2 ≥ 92%) was our primary outcome. Multivariable logistic regressions were performed to examine whether race/ethnicity was associated with occult hypoxemia in pre-ECMO and on-ECMO SpO2-SaO2 calculations. Covariates included age, sex, temporary mechanical circulatory support, pre-vasopressors, and pre-inotropes for pre-ECMO analysis, plus single-lumen versus double-lumen cannulation, hemolysis, hyperbilirubinemia, ECMO pump flow rate, and on-ECMO 24h lactate for on-ECMO analysis. Results: Of 13,171 VV-ECMO patients (median age = 48.6 years, 66% male), there were 7,772 (59%) White, 2,114 (16%) Hispanic, 1,777 (14%) Black, and 1,508 (11%) Asian patients. The frequency of on-ECMO occult hypoxemia was 2.0% (N = 233). Occult hypoxemia was more common in Black and Hispanic versus White patients (3.1% versus 1.7%, P < 0.001 and 2.5% versus 1.7%, P = 0.025, respectively). In multivariable logistic regression, Black patients were at higher risk of pre-ECMO occult hypoxemia versus White patients (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18–2.02, P = 0.001). For on-ECMO occult hypoxemia, Black patients (aOR = 1.79, 95%CI = 1.16–2.75, P = 0.008) and Hispanic patients (aOR = 1.71, 95%CI = 1.15–2.55, P = 0.008) had higher risk versus White patients. Furthermore, higher pump flow rate (aOR = 1.29, 95%CI = 1.08–1.55, P = 0.005) and higher on-ECMO 24h lactate (aOR = 1.06, 95%CI = 1.03–1.10, P < 0.001) significantly increased the risk of on-ECMO occult hypoxemia. Conclusions and Relevance: Hispanic and Black VV-ECMO patients experienced occult hypoxemia more than White patients. SaO2 should be carefully monitored during ECMO support for Black and Hispanic patients especially for those with high pump flow and lactate values at risk for occult hypoxemia.
The role of the E/S ratio in the SEIR model: A case study of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa (2014–2016)

Abstract

In the SEIR model, the role of the E/S ratio in the epidemic model is analyzed. It is shown that transmission rate curves corresponding to various incubation periods cross at a single point denoted by Cross Point (CP), where it satisfies \(\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}\text{t}}\left(E/S\right)=0\). The time-dependent reproduction number (Rt) approximately reaches 1 at the time of CP. The E/S ratio plays a key role in determining which point between CP and Rt = 1 appears first. As CP can be obtained without knowledge of the incubation period, it can be a useful measure to identify the epidemic status wherein the time-dependent reproduction number is very close to one. As a case study, we estimate the time-dependent transmission rate and the reproduction number of the SEIR model for the 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone and Guinea by solving the inverse problem. We identify CP and Rt = 1 and investigate the E/S ratio for various cases of S(0).
