Solving wind‐integrated unit commitment problem by a modified African vultures optimization algorithm
Authors: Abuelrub Ahmad , Awwad Boshra , Al‐Masri Hussein M. K. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractUnit commitment (UC) stands out as a significant challenge in electrical power systems. With the rapid growth in power demand and the pressing issues of fossil fuel scarcity and global warming, it has become crucial to enhance the utilization of renewable energy sources. This study focuses on addressing the UC problem by incorporating a wind farm and proposes a modified version of the metaheuristic African vultures optimization algorithm (AVOA) in binary form, utilizing the sigmoid transfer function. The modified AVOA employs multiple phase‐shift tactics to overcome premature local optima. By determining the on/off status of generating units, the modified AVOA improves the algorithm's effectiveness. Additionally, the paper develops an auto‐regressive moving average model (ARMA) to forecast wind speeds, with the AVOA assisting in selecting the optimal orders (q and p) of the ARMA model. This is done using historical wind speed data to capture uncertainty in the wind speed. The wind power is then calculated using various models and integrated into the UC problem. The effectiveness of the modified AVOA is examined on the IEEE 30‐bus system. The binary AVOA (BAVOA) outperforms several algorithms presented in the case study, demonstrating its superiority. Furthermore, the results indicate that BAVOA delivers superior outcomes within the discrete search space when compared to the continuous search space.
Natural compound chaetocin induced DNA damage and apoptosis through reactive oxygen species‐dependent pathways in A549 lung cancer cells and in vitro evaluations
Authors: Zhang Qi , Ruan Feng , Yang Maonan , Wen Qinghui 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThere is an urgent need for potential pharmaceutics for lung cancer treatment due to the increased number of lung cancer deaths and the resistance of cancer cells to present therapeutics. The present work aims to discover the anticancer potential of the natural compound chaetocin as a therapeutic for lung cancer treatment. Results showed the significance of chaetocin‐induced cell growth inhibition by the expression of G2/M phase arrest and reactive oxygen species (ROS) dependent apoptosis in A549 lung cancer cells. Results concluded that chaetocin could produce ROS and nuclear damage against A549 lung cancer cells. Interestingly, chaetocin exhibits a significant level of CD47 that down‐regulates the expression of CD47 at mRNA levels. PBMC biocompatibility study revealed that chaetocin is non‐toxic to normal cells. Overall, experimental results suggested that chaetocin induces A549 cell apoptosis, by causing ROS and nuclear damage activation pathways. In the future, chaetocin might be an effective bio‐safe anticancer agent for lung cancer treatments.

Synthetic Osmotic Dilators for Pre-Induction Cervical Ripening – an Evidence-Based Review
Authors: Rath Werner , Kummer Julia , Königbauer Josefine T. , Hellmeyer Lars , Stelzl Patrick 
Published: July 2023

AbstractMechanical methods have gained growing interest for pre-induction cervical ripening in women with an unripe cervix, since they have a better safety profile compared to prostaglandins. Balloon catheters have been the gold standard method for decades, while there was a lack of data on synthetic osmotic cervical dilators.Not until 2015, when Dilapan-S was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for induction of labor, numerous studies have been published on the use of Dilapan-S in this field. The rate of vaginal deliveries associated with the use of Dilapan-S ranges from 61.6 to 81.7%, and no serious complications needing further interventions have been reported to this date.Dilapan-S was shown to be as effective as the Foley balloon catheter as well as the 10 mg PGE2 vaginal insert and orally applied misoprostol (25 µg every 2 hours) in achieving vaginal delivery, but patient’s satisfaction during the cervical ripening process was significantly higher compared to the other methods and the rate of uterine hyperstimulation was significantly lower compared to prostaglandins (PGs).Minor complications (e.g. vaginal bleeding) associated with the use of Dilapan-S were < 2%, and maternal infectious morbidity was not higher compared to Foley balloon and vaginal PGE2 or misoprostol.Due to these beneficial properties Dilapan-S might be an ideal option for outpatient cervical ripening, as shown in a recent randomized clinical trial comparing inpatient to outpatient cervical ripening.Furthermore, according to the manufacturers’ product information, Dilapan-S is the only cervical ripening method that is not contraindicated for induction of labor in women with a previous cesarean section. Upcoming guidelines should consider synthetic osmotic cervical dilators as an effective and safe method for cervical ripening/induction of labor acknowledging that more evidence-based data are mandatory, particularly in patients with a previous cesarean section.
Do brown people have brown thoughts? Richard Rodriguez’s philosophy of race, culture, and identity
Authors: Garcia Michael Nieto 
Published: July 2023

AbstractEver since the publication of Hunger of Memory in 1982, Richard Rodriguez has been read by scholars almost exclusively through the lens of identity politics. Twenty years later, in Brown, Rodriguez sought to reconcile some of the contradictions of identity, at least his own. Ultimately, Rodriguez concludes that the contradictions of identity cannot be reconciled. Our identities are always more complex and nuanced than the boxes we try to fit people in. In expressing his philosophy of identity, Rodriguez reflects on the concept of brownness and “brown thoughts,” invoking brown as a metaphor for cultural miscegenation, and thereby for diversity and genuine inclusion. Rodriguez’s philosophy of race, culture, and identity moves us beyond toxic forms of tribalism and cultural essentialism to an identity politics that unites rather than excluding and dividing.
Asia’s four regionalisms (Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia and East Asia): a view from multilateral treaties of the United Nations
Authors: Le Lien Thi Quynh , Ho Dung Quoc , Inoguchi Takashi 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis study presents a quantitative framework to analyze the engagement of four Asian sub-regions with global issues through their participation in multilateral treaties across various policy areas. The research addresses key questions regarding the speed of Asian states’ involvement in multilateral treaties and their adaptation to these treaties within the United Nations system over time. The approach combines empirical data and conceptualization to ensure a robust evidentiary basis. A dataset comprising 600 major multilateral treaties deposited in the United Nations system, covering diverse global issues, was collected. Additionally, ratification actions from twenty-eight Asian countries were categorized into four sub-regions: East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia. To quantitatively measure states’ engagement with multilateral treaties, the study developed and calculated the Treaty Participation Index for each Asian country and sub-group. In an area predominantly characterized by qualitative research, this paper contributes to the existing literature by providing quantitative and metric findings for comparative analyses of multilateral treaty participation among the four Asian sub-regions, as well as comparisons between Asia and the rest of the world. By analyzing the results, the paper offers an evidence-based assessment of the feasibility of these four regionalisms in Asia, particularly in the context of the transition from international politics to the paradigm of global politics.

New fluorescent materials with a low cost, hypotoxicity, and concealment are desired for the application of anti-counterfeiting. Herein, we report a CsCu2I3@Cs3Cu2I5 composite with a triple-mode photoluminescence (PL) feature by simply adjusting the excitation wavelengths, which are ascribed to the multiple excited states of different phases in the CsCu2I3@Cs3Cu2I5 composite. The broadband emission and high quantum yield (∼51%) of the composite originate from the structure-oriented self-trapped excitons effect of Cs3Cu2I5 and CsCu2I3 phases. Moreover, the incorporation of polyethylene oxide (PEO) into this composite improves the stability of CsCu2I3@Cs3Cu2I5@PEO against harsh environments. The CsCu2I3@Cs3Cu2I5@PEO composite has a slight decay of ∼5% of its initial PL intensity and only a 3.5% shift of the corresponding color coordinate after 30 days of storage. More importantly, its initial PL intensity shows only 10.3% decay under ultraviolet exposure for 200 h. Our work provides a promising approach to design materials for advanced anti-counterfeiting applications.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Increasing the efficiency of agricultural production and its processing is a priority since the farming industry provides the population with the necessary food. The provision of the domestic market with processing products of the crop industry and its high competition is forcing domestic flour milling organisations to pay more and more attention to foreign markets, but this requires solving the problem of the relatively high cost of Russian flour, the main component of which is grain, the price of which is constantly growing. The increase in world trade in flour also contributes to expanding export deliveries. At the same time, the fact that each country seeks to establish its flour production becomes a deterrent. Russian flour is more expensive than Turkish, Kazakh, and Ukrainian, but in terms of quality, it has the advantage of not using toxic substances (which many foreign manufacturers “sin” with). The task of ensuring and maximising the efficiency of production and processing of grain requires a successful solution to take into account a large number of factors - labour, investment, economics, and others, which are comprehensively taken into account in the process of analysing the efficiency of production, processing, and export of grain about value added to material costs.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The article presents the results of the studied effect of biological nitrogen fixation on the yield, forage value, protein and oil productivity of soybean varieties belonging to the northern ecotype (Mageva, Okskaya and Svetlaya), depending on the water supply. Under the conditions of the Central Non-Chernozem Region, soybean varieties of the northern ecotype have been proved to provide the maximum yield of 3.05 t/ha; the protein content – of 43.51%; the fat content – of 20.67%; the protein yield – 1322 kg/ha; the yield of essential amino acids – 833 kg/ha; the fat yield – 531 kg/ha; the yield in forage units – 4118 kg/ha. In years with excessive and optimal water supply, pre-sowing seed inoculation with an active strain 605b of Rhizobium japonicum (Kirchner) significantly increases soybean productivity: the yield increases by 0.21-0.25 t/ha, the protein content in seeds – by 2.11-3.35%, the fat yield – by 0.33-0.57%, the protein yield – by 125-176 kg/ha, the fat yield – by 43-72 kg/ha, the yield of essential amino acids – by 84-111 kg/ha, the lysine yield – by 7-8 kg, the yield of unsaturated fatty acids – by 29-37 kg/ha, the yield in forage units – by 305-348 kg/ha.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The effectiveness of phytophagous insect control systems depends on the accuracy of the chosen method of monitoring their numbers and the available information on the dynamics of the population number. As part of the automation of the processes of collecting and analyzing data on the biological activity of pheromone preparations of the phytophage of grapes Lobesia botrana Den. et Schiff., the method of counting the number of pest butterflies on the glue inserts of pheromone traps has been improved by the use of digital cameras and MCView software. According to the validation results, it was found that, relative to the actual data, the improved method ensured the accuracy of counting butterflies at a density of 45-321 imago/insert at an average of 99.1%, which exceeded the results of counting by the traditional visual method by an average of 5%. It is shown that partial method automation made it possible to reduce the influence of a particular researcher, as a subjective factor, on the experiment results. An increase in the time required for counting butterflies by the improved method relative to the visual method by an average of 30% was noted. The presented method of quantitative evaluation of the results of pheromone monitoring in vineyards is a transitional stage to the full automation of this information collection and analysis. For this purpose, to date, photosets have been collected containing more than 1000 photos of glue inserts of pheromone traps with captured butterflies and training of a convolutional neural network has begun designed to detect and quantify such grape lepidopteran phytophages as Lobesia botrana, Helicoverpa armigera Hbn., Theresimima ampelophaga Bayl. (Insecta: Lepidoptera).

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The effect of the biopreparation Rizotorfin and growth regulators Albit, Kornevin, Epin-Extra on symbiotic activity and yield of the bean plant varieties Geliada and Shokoladnitsa was studied under field conditions. The nitrogenase activity was increased in Heliada bean plants after treatment of seeds with Epin-Extra against the increase of bacteroides area, amount and area of volutin and decrease of area and amount of poly-ß-oxybutyric acid (POM). The protective effect of Rizotorfin was evident in the variety Shokoladnitsa. The relationship between symbiotic nitrogen fixation and yield of bean plants of varieties Heliada and Shokoladnitsa was detected. The varietal responses of these plants to the use of Risotorfin and growth regulators have been identified. To increase the efficiency of legume-rhizobium symbiosis and plant productivity, the pre-sowing treatment of seeds with a biopreparation based on nodule bacteria and growth regulators is recommended.

Calculation of water flow discharge using the truncated triangular prisms method
Authors: Shcherbakov A , Baramykov M 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The article describes the calculating method for the water flow discharge. This method is based on the “velocity-area” proportion. In the proposed method, the flow of water passing through the cross section of the channel is represented as a body, the volume of which consists of a set of elements in the form of truncated triangular prisms. The side edges of the prism are the velocity vectors measured at the corresponding points. The bases of these prisms are the areas of triangles, the vertices of which are the points of measurement of the corresponding velocities. The volume of every element is determined by the formula for calculating the volume of a truncated prism. As a reference body, as a model of the diagram of flow velocities, one fourth of a sphere with a unit radius is taken, the volume of which can be calculated with the high accuracy. There are 15 speed verticals (they are also taken as measurement verticals) with five speed measurement points on every vertical: “surface”, 0.2h, 0.6h, 0.8h, “bottom”. The velocity value is represented by the length of the vector directed perpendicularly from the velocity vertical, from the point of velocity measurement to the surface of the sphere. Three adjacent velocity vectors are the side edges of the prism. The method of calculating the flow rate according to the approved measurement procedure is chosen for comparison. The results obtained by both methods are compared. As a result, the volume of the model, as one fourth of a sphere with the unit radius, was 1.0472; the volume calculated by the standard method was 1.0279; and by the method of prisms - 1.0124. Despite the absence of correction factors, the volume obtained by the prism method is only 1.55% less than one with the standard method. To smooth the results obtained by the method of truncated triangular prisms, the range of correction factors of 1.03…1.07 was determined, depending on the number of velocity verticals.
