Zonal garnet from eclogite-blueschist complexes - recorder of the history of their development.
Authors: Fedkin* Valentin 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Garnet has a unique ability to maintain its composition in the situation of changing conditions of metamorphism and fix the chemical changes in the new grains, outgrowths and replacements associated with the evolution of mineral formation parameters. These properties and capabilities of garnet were studied by the phase correspondence and mineralogical thermobarometry methods using the example of the Maksyutov (Southern Urals) and the Atbashi (South Tien Shan) complexes of crustal mafic eclogites, where they are used as PT indicators of their formation conditions. The issue is considered against the background of solving a specific petrological problem - the origin in eclogite-blueschist complexes (EBSK) of contrasting series of rocks - high-pressure eclogite blocks, boudins and interlayers in the thickness of a weakly metamorphosed gneiss-schist matrix. In the polymetamorphic Maksyutov complex, the garnet demonstrates complex multidirectional, sometimes inversion zoning, which reflects the features of mineral formation at each stage of its development. The corresponding PT trends bear signs of the determining processes of the formation of the complex - tectonic melange and coherent development. In the one-stage Atbashi eclogite-blueschist complex, inversion PT trends in the evolution of metamorphism are noted with a turn in their direction clockwise, indicating a transition from a tectonic melange setting to a coherent stage of the terrane development.
TO INVESTIGATE THE DUST PARTICLES AND IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF PHOTO VOLTIC PANELS BY USING SLIDING CLEANING TECHNIQUE
Authors: Ali Akbar 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The best source of sustainable energy is solar energy. Interestingly, the use of solar panels grew exponentially and these are of incredible interest because they are extremely humble and effectively accessible. In any case, dust accumulation, high temperature, snow, and dirt on the outer layer of solar panels are major factors responsible for the deterioration in the effectiveness and power of solar panels. Spots of different density, shape and area also reduce performance and strength. For the regionally savvy investigation of PV cell, we thought about two solar panels, 0ne of which is dirty and the other is pristine. Both are inclined at 23.5 from the surface of earth. We then used a programmed sliding cleaning wipe process to clean the uncovered board. A model that includes a cleaning robot and a cloud interface is also used to clean the residue that has accumulated on the outer layer of solar panels. Our model consist of Arduino UNO, stepper motor, jumpers wires, pulley, belt, breadboard and 9 volt battery. In addition, an automatic arm, nifty cleaning frame, and sun-based global positioning frame are also used for cleaning purposes, but they are extravagant. The Isc of the perfect panel has been shown to be more remarkable than that of the dusty panel.

Managerial skills contributed 62.5% towards variations in financial performance (adjusted R2 = 0.625).
Correspondence on H3K4 methylation at enhancers and broad promoters concerning the issues raised by Shah et al. in “Examining the Roles of H3K4 Methylation States with Systematically Characterized Antibodies”
Authors: Pękowska Aleksandra , Guillaume Charbonnier , Jean-Christophe Andrau , Spicuglia Salvatore 
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Using a series of calibrated ChIP-seq experiments, Shah et al. previously determined the specificity of widely used antibodies recognizing different levels of histone 3 at lysine 4 methylation (H3K4me) (Shah et al., 2018). The authors concluded that a significant number of published studies reporting on H3K4me were “flawed” due to cross-reactivity of antibodies. Considering the potential impact of these conclusions, we investigated the source of the discrepancy between the previous studies and that of Shah et al.

Authors: Oyama Takahiro , Fujii Minoru , Nakajima Kenichi , Takakura Jun'ya , Hijioka Yasuaki 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Objectives: To validate the upper thresholds of the thermal safety guidelines for multiple outdoor sports in terms of heat illness risk.
Methods: The reproducibility of the joint system thermoregulation model (JOS-3) of core temperature has been validated for 18 sports experiments (n=213) and 11 general exercise experiments (n=121) using the Bland–Altman analysis. Core temperatures were predicted using the JOS-3 in conditions corresponding to the upper thresholds, and if the 90th–99.7th percentile core temperature value (corresponding to 0.3%–10% of the participants) exceeded 40℃, the thresholds were judged as potentially hazardous. Revisions are proposed for sports with potentially hazardous thresholds.
Results: The JOS-3 could simulate core temperature increases in most experiments (27/29) for six sports and general exercises with an accuracy of 0.5℃, provided that systematic errors were corrected. The current upper thresholds for marathons, triathlons, and football are potentially hazardous. Based on our model settings, the upper thresholds should be revised as follows for participants' safety, depending on the specified percentiles: Football: revise from wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) 32℃ to 29–31℃ or not revise. Marathon: revise from WBGT 28℃ to 24–27℃. Triathlon: revise from WBGT 32.2℃ to 23–26℃.
Conclusion: The upper thresholds for marathons, triathlons, and football are potentially hazardous and revising the thresholds should be considered. The thermo-physiological model approach can be applied to heat illness risk assessment in sports while avoiding logistical and ethical difficulties, and can potentially contribute to such assessments in various sports and conditions.
Combinatorial quantification of distinct neural projections from retrograde tracing

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Comprehensive quantification of neuronal architectures underlying anatomical brain connectivity remains challenging. We introduce a method to identify the distinct axonal projection patterns from a source to a set of target regions and the count of neurons with each pattern. For a source region projecting to n targets, there are 2n-1 theoretically possible projection types, although only a subset of these types typically exists. By injecting uniquely labeled retrograde tracers in k regions (k < n), one can experimentally count the cells expressing different combinations of colors in the source region1,2. Such an experiment can be performed for n choose k combinations. The counts of cells with different color combinations from all experiments provide constraints for a system of equations that include 2n-1 unknown variables, each corresponding to the count of neurons for a projection pattern. Evolutionary algorithms prove to be effective at solving the resultant system of equations, thus allowing the determination of the counts of neurons with each of the possible projection patterns. Numerical analysis of simulated choose retrograde injection experiments using surrogate data demonstrates reliable and precise count estimates for all projection neuron types. We illustrate the experimental application of this framework by quantifying the projections of mouse primary motor cortex to four prominent targets: the primary and secondary somatosensory and motor cortices.

Abstract
Endocarditis is a life-threatening infection of the endocardium (inner lining of the heart). It usually affects the left-sided valves more than the right-sided valves and presents classically with a new murmur, fever, and peripheral stigmata. Though in the modern era, we have better antibiotics, better diagnostic imaging, and surgery that might cure infectious endocarditis (IE), it still carries significant mortality and morbidity. Here we present a 52-year-old male patient with hypertension and ischemic heart disease who presented with shivering, fever, and confusion for 2 days, fourteen days after cardiac intervention (PCI). Further trans-esophageal echocardiography was done due to the patient’s fulfillment of three minor and one major of Duke's criteria. Trans-esophageal echocardiography revealed flailing posterior mitral valve leaflets, 1.1 x 0.60 cm of vegetation, and severe eccentric mitral regurgitation. The patient was managed with vancomycin and gentamicin and referred to the cardiovascular surgery center.
Post-PCI infective endocarditis is a rare and often missed diagnosis, so there should be a high level of suspension for those who present with signs and symptoms compatible with infective endocarditis.

Abstract
As a high-sensitive and wide-band magnetic field sensor, SuperconductingQuantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) have great advantagesin mineral detection and submarine communications. However, due tothe complexity of the Marine environment, the noise of the detectionmodule itself will have a significant impact on the detection results.Among them, the non-orthogonality of the triaxial sensor is one ofthe important parameters in the evaluation of the detection system.In this paper, the influence results of non-orthogonality on static anddynamic detection sources are given through theoretical derivation andsimulation analysis, and the non-orthogonality of the triaxial module isevaluated through experiments, and then the non-orthogonality of themodule is derived by simulation. Finally, the triaxial module is usedto test the actual magnetic field. The results of this paper have a certainguiding role for the future application of triaxial sensors in theocean and the evaluation of the non-orthogonality of triaxial modules.

Published: January 2023

The development of the integration of renewable energy into the energy supply of buildings leads to the formulation of the problem of efficient placement of solar thermal devices on surfaces of complex shapes (shells). An urgent task is the development of tools that can justify the decision-making by designers about the advisability of placing solar thermal devices and their implementation in the energy-efficient design of buildings. The study solves the problem of finding zones on the surface of the envelope, receiving the maximum amount of solar radiation during a given period of time – an epoch. A method is applied based on discrete geometric modeling of solar radiation input to curved surfaces of buildings. In this case, the interaction of a set of design parameters is taken into account: parameters of the shape of a curved surface and parameters of variable sunlight for the characteristic dates of September 21, March 21 – the solar equinox and December 21, June 21 – the winter and summer solstices. In the course of the study, N is determined – the optimal number of fixed positions of the Sun on the solar trajectory for different angles of solar declination (for June 22 N=17, for September 21, March 21 N=11, for December 21 N=8), for a given geographical location. One of the examples of modeling the amount of solar radiation entering the surface of a hyperbolic paraboloid during the day at the geographical latitude δ=52° (Kyiv, Ukraine) is shown. The simulation results in a family of lines of the same level of solar radiation on a curved surface during the day. Using the values of the averaged daily model, it is possible to proceed to obtaining averaged daily models for the estimated time interval at the stage of pre-project proposals to predict the efficiency of using the solar system

Published: January 2023

The content of large soil fractions in soils complicates the experimental part of the research, but, the modeling method makes it possible to determine the effect of soil filler on slope stability.
The article presents the results of experimental study of the strength of coarse-clastic soils with different percentages of large fractions of gravelly soil (up to 20 mm) and aggregate (up to 5 mm) in the study of slope stability. The studies were carried out on three types of experimental equipment, which confirms the reliability of the results obtained. Recommendations are given for applying the values of the strength characteristics of coarse-grained soils in calculating the stability of slopes.
The results of the tests are carried out in a tray and shear testing devices. Mixture of soil fractions from 2 mm to 50 mm. Purpose of the tests is to determine the actual parameters of soil strength j and C, taking into account the effect of impurities on the stability of slopes.
Reliability of the results confirmed the comparability of the results of previous tests. Tray allows for testing models of slopes composed of mixtures of sand fractions from 2 mm to 20 mm. Model sizes slopes are defined relative to the size tray. Tray dimensions ‑ length 1400 mm, width 500 mm, height 1000 mm.
The design of the shear device allows to investigate coarse soils of different factions. The diameter of the fractions were tested for shear device area of 100 sm2 is from 2 mm to 20 mm.
The diameter of the fractions were tested for shear device area of 1000 sm2 ‑ from 5 mm to 50 mm. The experiments were performed in the laboratory "Geotechnics in Construction" in KazGASA.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
This study assesses climate change's impact on drought in Iran's Dez Basin. It introduces the Hydro-Meteorological Drought Index (HMDI), integrating the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and Standardized Runoff Index (SRI). Using Climatic Research Unit Time Series (CRU TS) data (1980-2012) and downscaling forecasted data from three CMIP6 models (2020-2052) for SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios, we employ the rainfall-runoff Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning Hydrological Bureau's Water Balance Model (HBV)-Light model to predict future streamflow. Drought characteristics are analyzed. Under SSP5-8.5, CanEsm5 shows substantial temperature and runoff increases, notably in Bakhtiari and Borujerd sub-basins (63% and 56%). Future droughts are expected to intensify, particularly under SSP5-8.5. The most severe HMDI-derived drought (HMDI 12) in Borujerd station is projected to increase from -43.44 to -44.05. SSP5-8.5 is likelier to cause severe and prolonged HMDI-derived droughts than SSP1-2.6 or the historical period. The analysis suggests that normal drought levels will persist, while mild and severe drought levels will rise in the future.

Published: January 2023

Introduction:
Although optimal wellbeing of young adults (YA) is a vital asset for
productivity and measurable and sustainable development, there is a dearth of information on the
wellbeing status of YA, especially after the COVID-19 lockdown in Ghana. The study has established
the post-lockdown wellbeing status of YA in the COVID-19 pandemic epicenters of Ghana.

Methods:
The wellbeing status of 1783 (24.49 ± 4.62 year) Ghanaian YA from Kumasi, Accra,
and Kasoa (known epicentres of COVID) was assessed in this cross-sectional study. Body mass
index (BMI) was calculated, and physical, social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual states were
assessed.

Results:
More females were found to be overweight (315, 17.7%) and obese (160, 9.0%) compared
to males. The majority (714; 40.0%) of the young adults were between the ages 25-30 years
and overweight, with a mean BMI of 25.46 ± 4.67 kg/m2. Overall, 157 (8.8%) had poor, 755
(42.3%) average, 479 (26.9%) good, while 392 (22.0%) had outstanding wellbeing. Specifically,
the average grade was recorded for physical (29.07 ± 6.67), spiritual (29.32 ± 6.80), and intellectual
(28.29 ± 6.56), while ‘good grade’ was obtained for social (32.16 ± 5.13) and emotional
(31.54 ± 5.07) dimensions of wellbeing.

Conclusion:
Average Ghanaian YA in the study were overweight (BMI value) and had average
wellbeing, which may suggest the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Educational and physical activity
interventions with meticulous dietary control and proper understanding of family history, age
and genetic factors will help to improve the wellbeing of Ghanaian YA.

Published: January 2023

Background:
Recently, plant-based medications have been considered promising. Scrophularia
has been demonstrated to have antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, anticancer, and antiinflammatory
effects; however, no evidence of its antiviral potency is available.

Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate whether the aqueous extract of Scrophularia variegata has
antiviral activity against rotavirus as the leading cause of severe diarrhea and acute gastroenteritis in
children.

Methods:
The neutral red assay was utilized to assess the cytotoxicity of the aqueous extract on the cell
line. Cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition, TCID50 (50% cell culture infectious dose), and real-time PCR
assays were performed to determine the extract's impact on human rotavirus at non-toxic dilutions.

Results:
Cell viability was raised following treatment with the aqueous extract at all dilutions. Rotavirus-
induced CPEs were considerably reduced when higher dilutions of the aqueous extract were applied
to the infected cells. The most substantial inhibitory effect was observed at the highest dilution
with no detectable infectious rotavirus titer using the TCID50 assay and no Ct value using the real-time
PCR assay.

Conclusion:
Our findings show that the aqueous extract of Scrophularia Variegata may be a promising
candidate for the treatment of rotavirus-induced gastroenteritis.
Magnetophoretic Intranasal Drug-loaded Magnetic Nano-aggregates as a
Platform for Drug Delivery in Status Epilepticus
Authors: Hemmat Ali , Ghassami Erfaneh , Minaiyan Mohsen , Varshosaz Jaleh 
Published: January 2023

Background:
Status epilepticus is associated with substantial morbidity and neuronal
necrosis, and the duration of the seizure would affect its following complications. Eliminating the
duration would have valuable outcomes; however, the presence of BBB is an obstacle. The purpose
of the current study was to achieve a nose-to-brain magnetic drug delivery system to accelerate
the onset of action, and to reduce the mucociliary clearance via implementing the magnetic
field.

Methods:
The drug-entrapped magnetic nanoaggregates were prepared via a 2-step
method, synthesis of the magnetic nanoparticles and drug loading. Optimization of the variables,
including ammonium hydroxide:water ratio, beta-cyclodextrin%, duration of the mixing time,
amount of Pluronic, and drug:magnetic nanoaggregates mass ratio was performed according to
particle size, PDI, zeta potential, release profile and entrapment efficiency. The efficacy of optimized
formulation was assessed in the animal model.

Results:
According to the analysis performed by the software, drug-to-nanoparticle ratio and the
duration of mixing time were found to be significantly effective (p < 0.05) for entrapment efficiency
and particle size distribution, respectively. The optimum formulation with an approximate
average size of 581 nm and 61% entrapment efficiency was obtained, which released about 80% of
its drug content within the first 20 minutes. The in vivo efficacy was significantly improved (p <
0.05) by administration of magnetic nanoaggregates in the presence of a simple external magnet
placed on the glabellar region of the animals, compared to the control groups.

Conclusion:
This drug delivery system could be suggested as a fast-acting alternative for seizure
cessation in status epilepticus emergencies.
