Published: October 2023

Abstract
Augmented reality has come a long way from the concept of science fiction to science-based reality. Until recently, the cost of augmented reality was so high that designers only dreamed of working on an AR related design project. Things have changed now, and augmented reality is also available on mobile phones. An e-learning Augmented Reality application for immersive and practical based learning is proposed in this paper where any student can make use of this platform to learn concepts easily in Augmented Reality. This has been implemented by using technologies like Unity, Zappar and deploying the project on web using python and Django. By incorporating AR technology in education, students can effectively learn and understand complex concepts in a more engaging and interactive way.

Computational Study on Forced Convection Heat Transfer in Pin Fin Heat Sink (PFHS) with Inclined Wings
Authors: Gurav Raviraj B. , Purohit Pritee , Nalavade Sandeep P 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Fins are used to enhance the rate of heat dissipation by increasing convection. The total amount of conduction, convection, or radiation of an object determines the amount of heat it transfers. A pin fin heat sink is acts as a heat exchanger and transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, where it is dissipated away from the device which helps in proper functioning of device. The present investigation deals with the CFD simulation of heat dissipation and fluid flow behavior of pin fin heat sink with straight and inclined wings. The results show that pin fin with straight wings or wings at 0 degrees dissipate more heat than pin fin with inclined wings at 15 degrees.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Over the past three decades, the global market has attracted polyurethane (PU) foams. It has been estimated that three-quarters of global consumption of polyurethane products are mainly foams. Based on hardness and density, foams can be classified into flexible and rigid. Features like flexibility, durability, stiffness, lightweight, less cost, and low density make foams more suitable for a wide range of automotive, industrial and agricultural industries. In this aspect, rigid foams are largely used as base materials for insulating purposes, seals, gaskets, tires, bedding, and seating of trucks. Generally, these PU foams are synthesized by mixing two chemicals: polyol and isocyanates. But unfortunately, the utilisation of Petro-based polyols makes PU foam restricted due to the rapid depletion of fossil fuels. Hence, this study attempts to replace Petro-based polyols with castor oil-based polyols. Other mechanical properties, such as compression strength, were tested to evaluate its ductile and flow behaviour. Finally, the developed Kelvin foam models were used for Finite Elemental Analysis (FEM) using ANSYS software to validate experimental results. Based on the results shows that both experimental and numerical analysis of castor oil PU foams resulted in greater compressive strength when compared to Petro-based PU foams.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Mango reaches its maturity in different stages which comprise both size and color. These maturity stages are well-known by the farmer in the field. On the basis of these different stages of maturity or commonly say ‘ripening of Mango’ one can predict when these are perfect for harvesting. The stages comprise a distinct pattern in which Mango gets ripped. In this paper, a study is carried out on the different stages of ripening of Mangoes based on their color. Image processing techniques are used to predict the mango’s different ripening stages by taking the Mango’s image.
Parametrizations of coupled betatron motion for strongly coupled lattices
Authors: Vanwelde Marion , Hernalsteens Cédric , Bogacz S. Alex , Machida Shinji , Pauly Nicolas 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The coupling of transverse motion is a natural occurrence in
particle accelerators, either in the form of a residual coupling
arising from imperfections or originating by design from strong
systematic coupling fields. While the first can be treated
perturbatively, the latter requires a robust approach adapted to
strongly coupled optics, and a parametrization of the linear optics
must be performed to explore beam dynamics in such peculiar
lattices. This work highlights the key physical interpretations of
the main parametrization formalisms to describe linear coupled
optics, along with explicit links and comparisons of these
parametrizations. Concepts rarely illustrated in other works, such
as forced mode flips and local coupling, are explored in detail,
clarifying some anomalies that can arise in lattice functions. The
analytical methods have been implemented in a reference Python
package and connected with ray-tracing and integration codes to
explore examples of strongly coupled lattices, which are discussed
in detail to highlight the key physical interpretations of the
parametrizations and characteristics of the lattices.
Recent developments in photodynamic therapy and its application against multidrug resistant cancers
Authors: Bhattacharya Debalina , Mukhopadhyay Mainak , Shivam Kumar , Tripathy Satyajit , Patra Ranjan , Pramanik Arindam 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Recently, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has received a lot of attention for its potential use in cancer treatment. It enables the therapy of a multifocal disease with the least amount of tissue damage. The most widely used prodrug is 5-aminolevulinic acid, which undergoes heme pathway conversion to protoporphyrin IX, which acts as a photosensitizer (PS). Additionally, hematoporphyrin, bacteriochlorin, and phthalocyanine are also studied for their therapeutic potential in cancer. Unfortunately, not every patient who receives PDT experiences a full recovery. Resistance to different anticancer treatments is commonly observed. A few of the resistance mechanisms by which cancer cells escape therapeutics are genetic factors, drug–drug interactions, impaired DNA repair pathways, mutations related to inhibition of apoptosis, epigenetic pathways, etc. Recently, much research has been conducted to develop a new generation of PS based on nanomaterials that could be used to overcome cancer cells’ multidrug resistance (MDR). Various metal-based, polymeric, lipidic nanoparticles (NPs), dendrimers, etc, have been utilized in the PDT application against cancer. This article discusses the detailed mechanism by which cancer cells evolve towards MDR as well as recent advances in PDT-based NPs for use against multidrug-resistant cancers.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
An unseasonal dust storm hit large parts of Central Asia on 4–5 November 2021, setting records for the column aerosol burden and fine particulate concentration in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The dust event originated from an agropastoral region in southern Kazakhstan, where the soil erodibility was enhanced by a prolonged agricultural drought resulting from La Niña-related precipitation deficit and persistent high atmospheric evaporative demand. The dust outbreak was triggered by sustained postfrontal northerly winds during an extreme cold air outbreak. The cold air and dust outbreaks were preceded by a chain of processes consisting of recurrent synoptic-scale transient Rossby wave packets over the North Pacific and North Atlantic, upper-level wave breaking and blocking over Greenland, followed by high-latitude blocking over Northern Europe and West Siberia, and the equatorward shift of a tropopause polar vortex and cold pool into southern Kazakhstan. Our study suggests that the historic dust storm in Uzbekistan was a compound weather event driven by cold extreme, high winds, and drought precondition.
Modelling of deuterium diffusion and thermal desorption in tungsten exposed to high-flux deuterium plasma

Published: October 2023

Abstract
In nuclear fusion, hydrogen isotopes transportation in tungsten has been identified as a crucial process which could affect various key processes in the operation of a fusion device, such as tritium self-sustaining and operational safety. To enhance the understanding of deuterium diffusion and trapping in millimeter-thick tungsten under high-flux plasma conditions, we carried out a systematic simulation investigation on the deuterium plasma exposure and subsequent thermal desorption using the TMAP7 code based on experimental results. The simulation reveals that the defect concentration with a low de-trapping energy , as estimated solely from simulating thermal desorption, is lower than its actual density due to the temperature history of plasma exposure and subsequent cooling processes. Moreover, the growth rate of deuterium mobile concentration exhibits nonmonotonic behavior over time during plasma exposure, which strongly depends on the ratio of defect concentration with a high de-trapping energy to that with a low de-trapping energy. Additionally, we observed that the maximum deuterium diffusion depth does not follow a proportional relationship with the square root of exposure time, which is attributed to the growing number of plasma-induced defects and the reducing injection coefficient with increasing fluences. This work provides valuable insights into the understanding of deuterium transportation in tungsten during high-flux plasma exposure which could contribute to understanding and modelling of hydrogen isotopes recycling in future fusion devices.
Genome size is strongly linked to carbohydrate storage and weakly linked to root sprouting ability in herbs
Authors: Bitomský Martin , Martínková Jana , Lubbe F Curtis , Marešová Iveta , Klimešová Jitka 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBackground and AimsSeveral lines of evidence indicate that carbohydrate storage in plant below-ground organs might be positively related to genome size because both these plant properties represent resource sinks and can affect cell size, cell cycle time, water-use efficiency and plant growth. However, plants adapted to disturbance, such as root sprouters, could be an exception because their strategy would require higher carbohydrate reserves to fuel biomass production but small genomes to complete their cell cycles faster.MethodsWe used data from a field survey to test the relationship between genome size and the probability of root sprouting ability in 172 Central European herbaceous species. Additionally, we conducted a pot experiment with 19 herbaceous species with different sprouting ability (nine congeneric pairs plus one species), and measured root non-structural carbohydrate concentrations and pools at the end of a growing season.Key ResultsIn the Central European flora, the probability of root sprouting ability was lower in large-genome species but this pattern was weak. In the pot experiment, both total non-structural and water-soluble carbohydrates (mainly fructans) were positively and non-linearly related to genome size, regardless of sprouting strategy. The concentrations of mono- and disaccharides and all carbohydrate pools showed no link to genome size, and starch was absent in large-genome species. The link between genome size and carbohydrate storage was less apparent at a small phylogenetic scale because we only observed a higher carbohydrate concentration in species with larger genomes for four of the species pairs.ConclusionsRoot sprouters may have smaller genomes because of their frequent occurrence in dry and open habitats. Large-genome species with presumably large cells and vacuoles could accumulate more water-soluble carbohydrates at the end of the growing season to fuel their growth and perhaps protect vulnerable organs from freezing early in the next season.
The Influence of Patient and Surgeon Characteristics on Press Ganey Provider Ratings in Plastic Surgery
Authors: Sergesketter Amanda R , Shammas Ronnie L , Langdell Hannah C , Yi Victoria N , Geng Yisong , Patel Ashit , Erdmann Detlev 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Background
Although patient satisfaction ratings are increasingly used as hospital and provider performance metrics, these ratings may be affected by factors extraneous to surgeon performance.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to assess whether outpatient Press Ganey ratings for plastic surgery providers were tied more to provider or patient characteristics.

Methods
All Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Clinician & Group Survey (CG-CAHPS) responses for plastic surgery providers from 2017 to 2023 from a single institution were analyzed. Ordered logistic regression models were used to identify characteristics associated with provider ratings.

Results
In total, 6442 surveys from 4594 patients representing 29 plastic surgery providers were analyzed. Across the patient cohort, 23.2% (N = 1492) rated plastic surgery providers lower than a 10/10. After adjustment, provider characteristics including provider gender, patient-provider gender concordance, and years in practice were not associated with overall provider ratings (all P &gt; .05). In contrast, patient characteristics were associated with provider ratings. Older patient age (odds ratio [OR], 1.02; P &lt; .001) was associated with higher ratings. Finally, self-reported overall health and mental health were associated with lower provider ratings (both P &lt; .05); specifically, mental health categories lower than “Excellent” were associated with significantly lower provider ratings (overall mental health “Very Good’: OR, 0.57; “Good”: OR, 0.53; “Fair”: OR, 0.59; “Poor”: OR, 0.55; all P &lt; .05).

Conclusions
Press Ganey ratings for plastic surgeons are influenced by patient characteristics, including age and mental health. Because satisfaction ratings are increasingly used as performance metrics in plastic surgery, adjusted rating models may be needed to more accurately reflect surgeon performance.
Transposable elements differ between geographic populations of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Agricultural insect herbivores show a remarkable ability to adapt to modern agroecosystems, making them ideal for the study of the mechanisms underlying rapid evolution. The mobilization of transposable elements is one mechanism that may help explain this ability. The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, is a highly adaptable species, as shown by its wide host range, broad geographic distribution, and tolerance to insecticides. However, beetle populations vary in insecticide tolerance, with Eastern US beetle populations being more adaptable than Western US ones. Here, we use a community ecology approach to examine how the abundance and diversity of transposable elements differs in 88 resequenced genomes of L. decemlineata collected throughout North America. We tested if assemblages and mobilization of transposable elements differed between populations of L. decemlineata based on the beetle’s geography, host plant, and neonicotinoid insecticide resistance. Among populations of North American L. decemlineata, individuals collected in Mexico host more transposable elements than individuals collected in the United States. Transposable element insertion locations differ among geographic populations, reflecting the evolutionary history of this species. Total transposable element diversity between L. decemlineata individuals is enough to distinguish between populations, with more TEs found in beetles collected in Mexico than in the United States. Transposable element diversity does not appear to differ between beetles found on different host plants, or relate to different levels of insecticide resistance.
Intravenous infusion of cardiac progenitor cells in animal models of single ventricular physiology
Authors: Goto Takuya , Ousaka Daiki , Hirai Kenta , Kotani Yasuhiro , Kasahara Shingo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVES
The goal of this study was to identify the practical applications of intravenous cell therapy for single-ventricle physiology (SVP) by establishing experimental SVP models.

METHODS
An SVP with a three-stage palliation was constructed in an acute swine model without cardiopulmonary bypass. A modified Blalock–Taussig (MBT) shunt was created using an aortopulmonary shunt with the superior and inferior venae cavae (SVC and IVC, respectively) connected to the left atrium (n = 10). A bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) was constructed using a graft between the IVC and the left atrium with an SVC cavopulmonary connection (n = 10). The SVC and the IVC were connected to the pulmonary artery to establish a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC, n = 10). The survival times of half of the animal models were studied. The other half and the biventricular sham control (n = 5) were injected intravenously with cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), and the cardiac retention of CDCs was assessed after 2 h.

RESULTS
All SVP models died within 20 h. Perioperative mortality was higher in the BCPS group because of lower oxygen saturation (P &lt; 0.001). Cardiac retention of intravenously delivered CDCs, as detected by magnetic resonance imaging and histologic analysis, was significantly higher in the modified Blalock-Taussig and BCPS groups than in the TCPC group (P &lt; 0.01).

CONCLUSIONS
Without the total right heart exclusion, stage-specific SVP models can be functionally constructed in pigs with stable outcomes. Intravenous CDC injections may be applicable in patients with SVP before TCPC completion, given that the initial lung trafficking is efficiently bypassed and sufficient systemic blood flow is supplied from the single ventricle.

Authors: Giri Jamal , Bockmann Michelle , Brook Alan , Farook Taseef Hasan , Meade Maurice , Hughes Toby 
Published: October 2023

Summary

Background and objective
The genetic basis of dentoalveolar characteristics has been investigated by several studies, however, the findings are equivocal. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the heritability of dental arches and occlusal parameters in different stages of human dentition.

Search methods
Electronic databases PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Dentistry and Oral Science Source were searched up to August 2023 without the restriction of language or publication date.

Selection criteria
Empirical studies investigating the heritability of dentoalveolar parameters among twins and siblings were included in the review.

Data collection and analysis
Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were performed independently and in duplicate by two authors and a third author resolved conflicts if needed. Joanna Briggs Institute’s critical appraisal tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias among studies and the certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria.

Results
Twenty-eight studies were included in the systematic review, of which 15 studies reporting heritability coefficients in the permanent dentition stages were deemed suitable for the meta-analysis. Random-effects meta-analyses showed high heritability estimates for maxillary intermolar width (0.52), maxillary intercanine width (0.54), mandibular intermolar width (0.55), mandibular intercanine width (0.55), maxillary arch length (0.76), mandibular arch length (0.57), and palatal depth (0.56). The heritability estimates for the occlusal parameters varied considerably, with relatively moderate values for crossbite (0.46) and overbite (0.44) and low values for buccal segment relationship (0.32), overjet (0.22), and rotation and displacement of teeth (0.16). However, the certainty of evidence for most of the outcomes was low according to the GRADE criteria.

Conclusions
Based on the available evidence, it can be concluded that the dental arch dimensions have a high heritability while the occlusal parameters demonstrate a moderate to low heritability.
