Estimation of Laminated Reservoir Properties Using Artificial Neural Network Integration
Authors: Ahmed Ibrahim , Hamdi Zakaria , Bataee Mahmood 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Due to current economic constraints on companies' capital expenses, the lack of reservoir characterization information has become a challenging issue. As a result, reservoir engineers must make the most of the available data and estimate the reservoir characteristics that are not available. Porosity is typically used to estimate permeability through classical correlations during core analysis. However, due to the effects of complex lithology and pore geometry, it becomes unreliable to predict permeability solely from porosity and using classical relationships. The objective of this study is to enhance the Tortonian reservoir description in Gamma oil field by testing the integration of Flow Zone Indicator (FZI), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Convergent Interpolation (CI) techniques. The study utilized data from one exploratory well and four appraisal wells to model the non-linear relationship between the Tortonian reservoir properties, calculate the effective porosity, estimate the permeability of uncured wells, and create a permeability map for the Tortonian oil reservoir. The results showed that there are three rock types in the Tortonian reservoirs, and effective porosity and permeability logs were successfully estimated. The permeability map created showed a direct relationship with the porosity map, validating the methodology. The reliability of the porosity/permeability relationship increased to 90% after using the integrated techniques presented in this study. By integrating FZI, ANN, and CI techniques, this study has successfully modeled the non-linear relationship between the porosity and permeability of the Tortonian reservoir, enabling an economical improvement in the complex reservoir description with minimum capital budget and available data.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Recently the integrated different interdisciplinary studies derived the environmental solutions of the climate change impacts (e.g., cultivation, wastewater treatment, managing groundwater resources). Thus, this paper focused on the application of bioremediation to maximize the use of wastewater for new reclamation areas in the Northwest Egyptian desert (New Egyptian Delta (NED). In NED project, the drainage water samples collected from Nile Delta drains will provide the main unconventional water resources for irrigation through the new Hammam canal. Therefore, threePleurotusisolates were grown moderately on two natural media, the first containingSalviaextract (MDA)and the second containingThymus(TDA) extract replacing potato infusions in standard PDA.Pleurotus ostreatus(P.O) isolate records the highest growth among the 3 tested fungi on modified media. PO records 4.49 and 4.41 cm on (MDA) and (TDA); respectively. There is a marked decrease in the majority of heavy metals concentrations on sterile drainage water amended with liquid PDA broth and inoculated with three testedPleurotusisolates individually. At the end of the incubation period,Pleurotusostereatusare more efficient in the removal of Al, Co, Cr, Ni by 53.15, 95.87, 58.47, 85.07%; respectively.Pleurorotuspulmonarius(P.P) is more potent in the removal of Cd, Si, Sn, Sr, and V by 70.37, 56.59, 41.19, 52.78, 96.24%; respectively.Pleurotusfloridanus(P.F) is actively over the former species in the removal of Ba, Fe, Mo by 87.84, 46.67, 97.34%; respectively. Cu, Mn, Pb, As, Se couldn’t be detected as the control sample recorded measurements below 0.009 mg L-1. Unexpected increase in Zn among the different treatments was detected from 05.04% to 07.01%.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Glue laminated bamboo (glubam) is a type of engineered bamboo material developed for applications in building structures and interiors. This paper focuses on the fungal (Aspergillus niger) colonization from 14 to 56 days in thick- and thin-strip glubam board with investigation of physical, mechanical (compression), and microcosmic properties. Two-degree of carbonization treatment was employed to improve the antifungal property of the thick-strip glubam. After 56 days of infection, the deep-degree carbonized thick-strip glubam presents better anti-mold properties than medium and non-carbonized specimens. For thin-strip glubam, both parallel and perpendicular to the main bamboo fiber direction were considered. The longitudinal thin-strip glubam retains decent compressive properties, while the transverse specimens stay a stable compressive strength along all fungal tests. The paper reports the experimental values of mass loss, color changes, compressive strengths, modulus of elasticity in compression, and microstructure observations from optical and SEM microscopy at different fungal exposure timespans.
Reliability of three-point fixation and orbital floor reconstruction based on changes in orbital volume measurements and enophthalmos in patients with zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures
Authors: Alharbi Gharam Mefleh , Khalifa Ghada Amin 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study aimed to calculate the amount of enophthalmos and volume difference between the repaired and intact orbits after 3-point fixation of unilateral zygomatic complex fractures (ZMCFs) with the reconstruction of the orbital floor. It was conducted between 2015 and 2020. The orbital volume (OV) was measured by manual tracing methods on pre- and postoperative CT scans. The OV were categorized into OVIntact/pre, OVIntact/post, OVFractured, and OVRepaired. The OVIntact/pre, OVIntact/post, OVFractured were used as control groups. Outcome variables were the mean of the OV, volume difference between repaired and intact orbits, correction rate, and measurements of enophthalmos. The results are considered significant with p-values < .05. The study included 63 patients, and the results showed that the study’s treatment protocol significantly changed the OVFractured from 26.10 ± 1.14 to 21.93 ± 1.25 cc. The volume difference between intact and repaired orbits was ranged from 0.34 ± 0.03 to 0.35 ± 0.02 cc with 98.40% correction rate. Also, the mean of enophthalmos was reduced from 2.48 ± 0.41 to 0.47 ± 0.42 mm. So, it could be concluded that after 3-point fixation of ZMCFs with the reconstruction of the orbital floors, the OV is significantly restored with a minimal volume difference between both orbits about 0.34 ± 0.03 cc and 0.47 ± 0.42 mm enophthalmos.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Fipronil (C12H4Cl2F6N4OS), is a commonly used insecticide effective against numerous insects and pests. Its immense application poses harmful effects on various non-target organisms as well. Therefore, searching the effective methods for the degradation of fipronil is imperative and logical. In this study, fipronil-degrading bacterial species are isolated and characterized from diverse environments using a culture-dependent method followed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis showed the homology of organisms with Acinetobacter sp., Streptomyces sp., Pseudomonas sp., Agrobacterium sp., Rhodococcus sp., Kocuria sp., Priestia sp., Bacillus sp., Pantoea sp. The bacterial degradation potential for fipronil was analyzed through High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. Incubation-based degradation studies revealed that Pseudomonas sp. and Rhodococcus sp. were found to be the most potent isolates that degraded fipronil at 100 mg L-1 concentration, with removal efficiencies of 85.97 % and 83.64 %, respectively. Kinetic parameter studies, following the Michaelis-Menten model, also revealed the high degradation efficiency of these isolates. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed fipronil sulfide, benzaldehyde, (phenyl methylene) hydrazone, isomenthone, etc., as major metabolites of fipronil degradation. Overall investigation suggests that native bacterial species isolated from the contaminated environments could be efficiently utilized for the biodegradation of fipronil. The outcome derived from this study has immense significance in formulating an approach for bioremediation of fipronil-contaminated surroundings.
Intellectual disabilities teaching for medical students: a scoping review
Authors: Towson Georgia , Daley Stephanie , Banerjee Sube 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
People with intellectual disabilities are a marginalized group whose health experiences and outcomes are poor. Lack of skill and knowledge in the health and care workforce is a contributing factor. In England, there is a new legislative requirement for mandatory intellectual disability training to be given to the existing health workforce, including doctors. There is a lack of evidence about effective models of educational delivery of such training in medical schools. We undertook a scoping review to assess the range of intellectual disabilities educational interventions and their effectiveness.
Methods
We included any study from 1980 onwards which reported an educational intervention on intellectual disability, or intellectual disability and autism, for medical students from any year group. Databases searched included PUBMED, ERIC, Scopus and Web of Science as well as searches of grey literature and hand searching two journals (Medical Education and Journal of Learning Disabilities). 2,020 records were extracted, with 1,992 excluded from initial screening, and a further 12 excluded from full-text review, leaving 16 studies for inclusion. Data was extracted, quality assessed, and findings collated using narrative analysis.
Results
We found a variety of intervention types: classroom-based teaching, simulation, placement, home visits, and panel discussions. There was substantial variation in content. Most studies involved lived experience input. Across studies, interventions had different learning outcomes which made it difficult to assess effectiveness. Overall study quality was poor, with high use of non-validated measures, making further assessment of effectiveness problematic.
Conclusions
There is a need for more consistency in intervention design, and higher quality evaluation of teaching in this area.

Authors: Aziz Muhammad Abdullah , Khan Khalid Saifullah , Khalid Rabia , Shabaan Muhammad , Alghamdi Abdulaziz G. , Alasmary Zafer , Majrashi Mosaed A. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Aim
Integration of chemical and organic fertilizers not only improves soil biological health and plant growth but also reduces costs of agricultural production, and hence, is an economically feasible approach to sustain plant growth in developing countries.
Methods
We performed a field experiment to evaluate the impact of poultry litter derived biochar (BC; 10 and 20 t ha-1) with and without chemical fertilizers (CF) on soil nutrient availability, microbial abundance, and soil enzymatic activity.
Results
Combined application of BC and CF significantly increased soil nutritional status and organic carbon (SOC), and these improvements were more prominent at higher BC level (20 tons ha-1), which increased soil microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus by 27, 58, and 61%, respectively. Furthermore, BC20+CF treatment improved soil microbial abundances such as actinomycetes (24%), bacteria (70%), AMF (49%) and saprophytic fungi (38%). In terms of wheat growth and yield attributes, BC20+CF application enhanced spike length (55%), leaf area index (30%), tillers (12%), along with biological yield (26%) and grain yield (36%). BC20+CF application was also proved to be positively correlated with different soil enzymatic activities i.e., urease (24%), dehydrogenase (44%), and β-glucosidase (93%). Principal component analysis (PCA) analysis proved that co-application of BC @ 20 t ha-1 along with CF was the most efficient treatment in terms of improving soil nutrient status and microbial activities.
Conclusions
Hence, combined application of BC and CF could be an efficient tool to improve soil health, plant growth and reduce cost of agricultural production.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Introduction and Aims:
Many studies have investigated the relationship between social support and the prevention of elder abuse; however, their results are somehow inconsistent in terms of the association. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the published studies on the relationship between social support and the prevention of elder maltreatment.
Materials and Methods
An electronic search was conducted until January 2023, using such databases as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The present research included cross-sectional, longitudinal, and case-control studies. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were conducted by two researchers independently. The Newcastle-Ottawa checklist was utilized to evaluate the quality of studies. The random effects model was employed to perform a meta-analysis.
Results
In total, 34 studies were included in this systematic review, out of which 28 articles were eligible for meta-analysis. The results showed that 72% of the studies were of high quality, and there is a significant relationship between social support and elder maltreatment. Accordingly, the lack of social support increased overall maltreatment (odds ratio: 1.27, 95% confidence interval: 1.17–1.38; I2 = 94.2%, p < 0.0001)). Moreover, lack of social support had an increasing effect on the level of psychological abuse (1.49, 1.12–1.97; 88.5%, p < 0.001), physical abuse (1.42, 0.72–2.78; 70.0%, p = 0.01), and neglect (2.46, 1.10–6.01; 89.1%, p < 0.001), which shows heterogeneities among the results of the included studies. On the contrary, the lack of social support showed a decreasing effect on financial abuse (0.93, 0.87–0.99; 46.0%, p = 0.10)
Conclusion
This systematic review provides evidence that social support in the form of structural or functional support may plays an important role in improving the quality of life of the elderly.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) with a prevalence between 1 in 100,000 to 1in 1,000,000 has a clinical spectrum characterized by the triad of monostotic/polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), café au lait spots, and precocious puberty (1–5). Gonadotrophin Independent Precocious Puberty (GIPP) is a prominent hyperfunctioning endocrinopathy and is frequently the presenting feature (10). Here we report four cases of MAS who are actively being followed up in a leading Children’s Hospital in Sri Lanka.Case presentation In our cohort of 4 patients, 2 patients are boys, patient 1 and 2respectively. Patient 1 initially presented with features of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and found to have GIPP at the age of 7 years and started on Spironolactone. He also has hyperprolactinemia, growth hormone excess and hypophosphatemic rickets. Patient 2 presented with polyostotic fibrous dysplasia but developed GIPP two years after diagnosis and started on Letrozole. Additionally, he has hypophosphatemic rickets and hyperprolactinemia. Patient 3 presented with thyrotoxicosis and developed GIPP nine months later for which she was started on Letrozole. She also has hypophosphatemic rickets. Patient 4 recently presented with GIPP for which she Letrozole was started.Conclusion Management options for GIPP are varied with aromatase inhibitors showing promising results in various studies (2, 3, 11, 13–17). However long-term studies are needed to comment on final heights of these cohort of patients with MAS as they have concurrent endocrinopathies and bony deformities (18, 21). It’s also important to follow them up regularly for the development of other hyper functioning endocrinopathies and other clinical manifestations.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
Despite the rise in the number of systematic reviews (SR) and meta-analyses (MA) in medicine and health science fields in Ethiopia, there is limited up-to-date evidence on their methodological and reporting quality for using them in decision-making. The aim of this study was to characterize epidemiological trends and evaluate the methodological and reporting quality of SR and MA in Ethiopia.
Methods
A retrospective observational overview study was conducted on SR and MA in medicine and health science fields in Ethiopia that were accessed through PubMed, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL databases and additional manual searching. Title/abstract and full-text screening were conducted in duplicate using EndNote and Covidence semi-automated reference management tools. Data extraction tool was developed in consultation with standard guidelines. We summarized the data using frequencies and median. Two-tailed Chi-Square and Fisher’s Exact tests for categorical variables, while Kruskal-Wallis test for quantitative variables, were used at alpha level 0.05 to compare the differences in the background characteristics of SR and MA as well as across the publication years. All analyses were done using R version 4.0.2 for macOS.
Results
Of the total 3,125 records initially identified, 349 articles were included in our analyses. Of these, 48 (13.75%) were SR and 301 (86.25%) were MA. The publication rate was dramatically increased with nearly three-quarters (73.9%) of SR and MA published after 2018. Most of the SR and MA included observational studies (92.8%), and infectious disease was the most researched (20.9%) subject area. Number of authors, number of affiliations, publication year, protocol registration, number of primary studies, number of references, citation counts and journal quality were significantly different between SR and MA (p < 0.05). Both SR and MA had a low methodological and reporting quality even though there were improvements in registering protocols, searching databases, and transparently reporting search strategy.
Conclusions
The production of SR and MA in Ethiopia has been increased over time, especially during the last three years. There is a promising trend of improvement in methodological and reporting quality even though there is much more to do. Authors should equally prioritize quality in addition to the fast-track publication.
Metal-organic frameworks meet Uni-MOF: a transformer-based gas adsorption detector

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Gas separation is crucial for industrial production and environmental protection, with metal-organic frameworks(MOFs) offering a promising solution due to their tunable structural properties and chemical compositions. Traditional simulation approaches, such as molecular dynamics, are complex and computationally demanding. Although feature engineering-based machine learning methods perform better, they are susceptible to overfitting because of limited labeled data. Furthermore, these methods are typically designed for single tasks, such as predicting gas adsorption capacity under specific conditions, which restricts the utilization of comprehensive datasets including all adsorption capacities. To address these challenges, we propose Uni-MOF, an innovative framework for large-scale, three-dimensional MOF representation learning, designed for universal multi-gas prediction. Specifically, Uni-MOF serves as a versatile "gas adsorption detector" for MOF materials, employing pure three-dimensional representations learned from over 631,000 collected MOF and COF structures. Our experimental results show that Uni-MOF can automatically extract structural representations and predict adsorption capacities under various operating conditions using a single model. For simulated data, Uni-MOF exhibits remarkably high predictive accuracy across all datasets. Impressively, the values predicted by Uni-MOF correspond with the outcomes of adsorption experiments. Furthermore, Uni-MOF demonstrates considerable potential for broad applicability in predicting a wide array of other properties.

Abstract
Ceria’s exceptional reversible redox properties between Ce4+ and Ce3+ contributes to its high oxygen storage capacity and release capacity has received attention as an oxidation catalyst for a variety of process. However, ceria’s ability in catalytic performance can differ, corresponding to the selective exposition of different Ce facets in different nanostructures by controlling the shape of ceria crystal. The different CeO2 structures with the reactive Ce(100), Ce(110) and Ce(111) facets were synthesized using hydrothermal method and were characterized using XRD, BET, RAMAN, TPR, TPO and XPS. All synthesized CeO2 nanostructure shows diffraction peaks corresponding to the formation of cubic fluorite. N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms showed that all catalysts possess Type IV isotherm, indicating a mesoporous structure. The Raman spectra indicate a peak that dominated the characteristic of the F2g mode of cubic fluorite structure. The TPR and TPO analysis display formation peak corresponding to the surface-to-bulk ratio of reducibility and oxidized oxygen, which is responsible for the redox properties of ceria nanostructures. The XPS analysis of CeO2 nanoparticles proved that Ce exists in Ce3+ and Ce4+ oxidation states. All catalysts were tested for direct oxidation of kenaf stalks under 300 W of microwave irradiation using H2O2 as the oxidizing agent at pH 11.5 and temperatures of 170 °C for 20 min with 15% catalyst loading. The highest vanillin yield obtained by CeO2-Nps-400 heterogeneous catalyst was 3.93%, whereas 4.82% vanillin was produced using 2N NaOH as a homogeneous catalyst. The results clearly revealed the crucial role of catalyst morphology on the physicochemical properties and the catalytic behavior of the CeO2 nanostructures, with the particle-shaped catalyst exhibiting the highest catalytic performance.
