ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE FUEL PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Sinkevich I. , Mаrdupenko O. 
Published: January 2023

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis and experimental testing of the efficiency of technological processes for the processing of some types of alternative energy sources into fuel for transport engines.
The accumulated research experience in the development of on-board conversion systems (reactors) of traditional motor fuels shows that the level of their technical and technological complexity is incomparable with the ecological and economic effect of their use in an RTS power plant. The high temperature level of the processing of these fuels necessitates the need for additional energy expenditure for the organization of the conversion process (for example, burning part of the fuel to support the necessary thermal regime of operation in thermochemical reactors), and the presence of sulfur compounds in motor fuel excludes the possibility of using highly efficient catalysts. In addition, the large relative content of inert (non-combustible) components in the composition of the target conversion products create additional difficulties when they are burned in the engine. In general, the choice of an acceptable alternative energy carrier as a raw product for the production of motor fuel is a compromise that takes into account its energy value, temperature conditions of conversion, the spectrum of gases formed during conversion, cost, availability of raw materials, the possibility of adaptation to the conditions of the RTS, etc. From the set of factors considered above, it can be concluded that today methanol is one of the most energetically beneficial sources of cheap and efficient hydrogen-containing fuel for RTS engines. It should be noted that in the future, in the world of technology development and the corresponding raw material bases, it may be economically justified to use other compounds, which, according to their characteristics, will be able to meet the energetically favorable conditions in the technological structure of the on-board conversion implementation. This will allow creating a stable fuel and energy base , which practically does not depend on the imported hydrocarbon fuel.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the association between PFASs exposure and the risk of NAFLD in the elderly. Our sample included 1420 participants (≥ 60 years) from the 2003–2014 NHANES study with available serum PFASs, covariates and outcomes. NAFLD was defined based on the hepatic steatosis index. Weighted binary logistic regression was utilized to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals for each chemical. Results suggested that each one unit increase in ln-transformed concentration of PFOA was positively associated with risk of NAFLD in adjusted models. PFNA was also significantly associated with NAFLD incidence in adjusted linear regression. The effect of PFOA or PFNA on NAFLD development was found to be linear in the trend test. This study added novel evidence that exposure to PFASs (PFOA and PFNA) might be associated with NAFLD development.
A novel neutrosophic divergence score for enhancement of mammogram images
Authors: Chaira Tamalika 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Medical images, especially mammogram images, have low contrast and brightness and so mammogram image enhancement is very much necessary in diagnosing breast cancer or tumor at an early stage. Further, enhancement is a crucial step to increase efficiency of computer assisted hardware. This paper proposes a novel image enhancement method using neutrosophic set (NS). A variety of image enhancement algorithms are in literature, but accuracy is still a crucial problem. NS has an ability to handle indeterminant information, thus reducing the uncertainty in the images. The image is initially converted into neutrosophic domain, where an image is represented using three membership degrees – truth membership (T), indeterminacy membership (I), and false membership (F). Indeterminate degree is computed from two information, and these are combined using a novel method that uses fuzzy Lukaseiwics t norm. Then, a novel neutrosophic divergence score (NDS) is suggested, which is computed from fuzzy divergence that measures the degree with respect to an ideal image and the image so formed has better contrast with noticeable fine structures. Then a modified histogram hyperbolization is used that uses a logarithmic function to obtain a final enhanced image. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated and compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with recent methods. Experiment has been performed on different types of mammogram images to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.
Can simultaneous immobilization of arsenic and cadmium in paddy soils be achieved by liming?

Abstract
Liming acidic paddy soils to near-neutral pH is the most cost-effective strategy to minimize cadmium (Cd) accumulation by rice. However, the liming-induced effect on arsenic (As) (im)mobilization remains controversial and is called upon further investigation, particularly for safe utilization of paddy soils co-contaminated with As and Cd. Here we explored As and Cd dissolution along pH gradients in flooded paddy soils and extracted key factors accounting for their release discrepancy with liming. The minimum As and Cd dissolution occurred concurrently at pH 6.5-7.0 in an acidic paddy soil (LY). In contrast, As release minimized at pH < 6 in other acidic two soils (CZ and XX) while the minimum Cd release still appeared at pH 6.5-7.0. Such a discrepancy was determined largely by the relative availability of Fe under overwhelming competition from dissolved organic caron (DOC). A mole ratio of porewater Fe/DOC at pH 6.5-7.0 is suggested as a key indicator of whether co-immobilization of As and Cd can occur in flooded paddy soils with liming. In general, a high mole ratio of porewater Fe/DOC (≥ 0.23 in LY) at pH 6.5-7.0 can endow co-immobilization of As and Cd, regardless of Fe supplement, whereas such a case is not in the other two soils with lower Fe/DOC mole ratios (0.01–0.03 in CZ and XX). Taking an example of LY, introduction of ferrihydrite promoted transformation of metastable As and Cd fractions to more stable ones in the soil during 35 days of flooded incubation, thus meeting a Class I soil for safe rice production. This study demonstrates that the porewater Fe/DOC mole ratio can indicate liming-induced effect on co-(im)mobilization of As and Cd in typical acidic paddy soils, providing new insights into the applicability of liming practice for the paddy soils.

Abstract

Brain-on-Chip devices, which enable on-chip cultures of neurons to simulate brain functions, are receiving tremendous attention to meet the demands of both fundamental research and clinical trials. Thus, miniaturized sensors are being developed to accomplish real-time monitoring of neurotransmitters, which are the signaling molecules between neurons and benchmarks for neuron network operation. Electrochemical sensors are promising candidates for detecting a critical neurotransmitter, dopamine (DA), a biomarker for Parkinson’s disease. A key advantage of electrochemical sensors is their capability of fast, real-time recording. However, current state-of-the-art electrochemical DA sensors are suffering from various issues like limited sensitivity and cumbersome fabrication. Here, we report a novel route in monolithically microfabricating vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) electrochemical DA microsensors by an anti-blistering slow cooling process. Thanks to the new microfabrication process, we are able to achieve VACNF microsensors with complete insulation and large surface areas. The champion device shows extremely high sensitivity of 4.52×104 μA/μM · cm2, which is at least two-orders-of-magnitude higher than current devices, and a highly competitive limit of detection of 0.243 nM. These figures of merit will open new windows for future applications of Brain-on-Chip devices such as electrochemical recording from a single neuron.

Abstract
Phosphogypsum results from the attack of phosphate ores with sulphuric acid with the aim of producing phosphoric acid. Large quantities of this industrial waste are produced annually, even though it is very harmful because the ores often have a high content of heavy metals. It is therefore necessary to undertake studies in order to reduce its production or to valorise it in the fields of building and civil engineering, in particular. Recent works propose a new way of valorisation in the technology of geopolymers: the addition of phosphogypsum in the mixtures improves the fire resistance of the products, which constitutes a great potential of use in many applications. Our study aims to highlight the effects of the addition of phosphogypsum on certain characteristics of geopolymer matrices based on metakaolin and fly ash, in the fresh state and in the hardened state. Monitoring the workability of the geopolymer matrices indicates that the addition of phosphogypsum increases the viscosity, but impairs the flowability and the shaping. Thus, the phosphogypsum addition rate is limited to 15% for metakaolin-based matrices and 12% for those based on fly ash, with a setting retarding effect in both cases. Moreover, the introduction of phosphogypsum to these matrices up to a mass rate of 6% has no significant effect on the mechanical resistance. Beyond that rate, the mechanical resistance deteriorates significantly.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
Both pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) significantly affect health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). We aimed to determine the impact of CPA co-infection on the HR-QoL of Ugandans with PTB.
Methods
We conducted a prospective study among participants with PTB with persistent pulmonary symptoms after 2 months of anti-TB treatment at Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda between July 2020 and June 2021. HR-QoL was assessed using St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) at enrollment and at the end of PTB treatment (4 months apart). SGRQ scores range from 0 to 100, with higher score representing a poorer HR-QoL.
Results
Of the 162 participants enrolled, 32 (19.8%) had CPA + PTB and 130 (80.2%) had PTB only. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were comparable. Regarding overall health, a higher proportion of the PTB only group rated their HR-QoL as “very good” compared to those who had both TB and CPA (68 (54.0%) versus 8 (25.8%)). At enrollment, both groups had comparable median SGRQ scores. However, at follow up, the PTB only group had statistically significantly better SGRQ scores (interquartile range); symptoms (0 (0 — 12.4) versus 14.4 (0 — 42.9), p < 0.001), activity ((0 (0 — 17.1) versus 12.2 (0 — 35.5), p = .03), impact (0 (0 — 4.0) versus 3.1 (0 — 22.5), p = 0.004), and total scores ((0 (0 — 8.5) versus 7.6 (0 — 27.4), p = 0.005).
Conclusion
CPA co-infection impairs HR-QoL of people with PTB. Active screening and management of CPA in patients with PTB is recommended to improve HR-QoL of these individuals.

Abstract
A living animal exhibits remarkable ability to survive. It processes sensory input and takes actions to maximize the likelihood of survival. Researchers have been inspired to develop similar artificial agents powered by reinforcement learning—for instance, the Deep-Q learning agent, which learns to play Atari arcade games. In the recent development, the ability to process high-dimensional raw sensory data such as images, instead of handcrafted features, is one of the most important enablers, making it possible to train agents for different applications at scale. However, these agents are still different from fully autonomous agents such as living beings who not only process raw sensory data but also develop sensory function as part of their learning process. In this article, we show that an artificial agent powered by reinforcement learning can also spontaneously develop sensory apparatus. It can build its own bridge to connect the digital world to the physical one. This capability could be used to develop resilient agents that are adaptive in changing environments.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Introduction: Conservative treatments are usually the most indicated for the management of musculoskeletal pain; consequently, a detailed description of interventions enables the reproducibility of interventions in clinical practice and future research. The objective of this study is to evaluate the description of physical interventions for musculoskeletal pain in children and adolescents.
Methods: We considered randomised controlled trials that included children and adolescents between 4 and 19 years old, with an acute or chronic/persistent musculoskeletal pain. We considered interventions including active and passive physical therapies – related to all types of physical modalities aimed to reduce the intensity of pain or disability in children and adolescents with musculoskeletal pain. The description of interventions was assessed using the TIDieR checklist. We searched on CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsyINFO and PEDro up to October 2021. The description of physical interventions was presented using frequencies, percentages and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We also calculated the total TIDieR score for each study.
Results: We included 13 randomised controlled trials. The overall quality of description measured through the TIDieR checklist was poor, with an average of 11 (4.3) points out of 24. The item of the TIDieR that was mostly described was item 1 (brief name). The item that the description was mostly absent was item 10 (modifications).
Conclusion: The descriptions of physical interventions for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain in children and adolescents are usually poorly described, indicating the need for strategies to improve the quality of description to enable truly clinical reproducibility.

Abstract
Introduction: Severe forms of COVID-19 are more common in patients with abnormal fat distribution, particularly high visceral adiposity. The patient's muscle strength may be reduced during the acute phase of the infection. Electrical bioimpedance (BIA) is a non-invasive method for measuring body compartments and estimating visceral fat area (VFA) that can be used at the bedside.
Objective: To assess the relationship between several body composition parameters, primarily adipose tissue and VFA, in patients with and without a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection, as well as its role in disease severity.
Methods: This is a retrospective study that was conducted in a private hospital in the city of São Paulo from March 2020 to August 2021. The Student's T test was used to compare the results of quantitative variables in the groups with and without COVID-19. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was used where normality could not be established. When dealing with categorical data, Pearson's Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test are used to analyze relationships.
Results: A total of 96 patients with a mean age of 69.1 years (SD 15) were divided into two groups of 48 individuals, with and without COVID-19 infection. Body mass index (p=0.000), fat mass (p=0.052), and VFA (p=0.042) were all higher in the infection group. When COVID-19 patients were evaluated, those with higher VFA had longer hospital stays (p=0.020) and used more vasoactive drugs (p=0.043). Patients with COVID-19 with poor handgrip strength were 4.38 times more likely to require a prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay.
Conclusion:The study concluded that excess weight and body fat are significantly associated with COVID-19 involvement, but the severity is primarily related to a greater area of visceral fat. The use of bioimpedance for visceral fat measurement was effective, as it is a simple method performed in the hospital setting that does not require the use of radiation.
