Real-time Ghost Imaging Algorithm on Multidimensional Vector Matrix Walsh Transformation with Free-Fps
Authors: Feng Shengqi , Sang Aijun , Li Xiaoni 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

In this study, we present a real-time free-fps algorithm that utilizes a multi-dimensional vector matrix Walsh transform to address some of the current challenges in real-time video ghost imaging of moving objects. The algorithm allows for adjustable ghost imaging quality and frame rate, which solves the issues of less reconstruction sampling times, non-smooth imaging, and fixed imaging frame rate. To achieve this, a four-dimensional vector Walsh transform kernel matrix is used to transform and reconstruct the high-quality images of the target object, and then reasonable frame rate parameters are set based on the corresponding relationship between the bucket detection values and speckle in the front and back frames, resulting in smooth live video ghost imaging. After simulation and experimental verification of moving objects, our results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperforms existing video ghost imaging methods. Specifically, our algorithm solves the DMD refresh rate limitation, resulting in smoother and more stable real-time imaging. Moreover, objective evaluation indexes such as PSNR, the subjective non-reference evaluation standard NRSS structure retention, and Brisque subjective evaluation all show significant improvements of 8%, 7%, and 7%, respectively.

Abstract
Background
There is limited longitudinal evidence on the hypertensive effects of long-term exposure to ambient O3. We investigated the association between long-term O3 exposure at workplace and incident hypertension, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse pressure (PP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in general working adults.
Methods
We analyzed the data of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Medical Examination-based Cohort, which recruited over 30,000 medical examination attendees through multistage stratified cluster sampling. Participants completed a standard questionnaire and comprehensive medical examination. Three-year ambient O3 concentrations at each employed participant's workplace were estimated using a two-stage machine learning model. Mixed-effects Cox proportional hazards models and linear mixed-effects models were used to examine the effect of O3 concentrations on incident hypertension and blood pressure parameters, respectively. Generalized additive mixed models were used to explore non-linear concentration-response relationships.
Results
A total of 16,630 hypertension-free working participants at baseline finished the follow-up. The mean (SD) O3 exposure was 45.26 (2.70) ppb. The cumulative incidence of hypertension was 7.11 (95% CI: 6.76, 7.47) per 100 person-years. Long-term O3 exposure was independently, positively and non-linearly associated with incident hypertension (Hazard ratios (95% CI) for Q2, Q3, and Q4 were 1.77 (1.34, 2.36), 2.06 (1.42, 3.00) and 3.43 (2.46, 4.79), respectively, as compared with the first quartile (Q1)), DBP ( (95% CI) was 0.65 (0.01, 1.30) for Q2, as compared to Q1), SBP ( (95% CI) was 2.88 (2.00, 3.77), 2.49 (1.36, 3.61) and 2.61 (1.64, 3.58) for Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively), PP ( (95% CI) was 2.12 (1.36, 2.87), 2.03 (1.18, 2.87) and 2.14 (1.38, 2.90) for Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively), and MAP ( (95% CI) was 1.39 (0.76, 2.02), 1.04 (0.24, 1.84) and 1.12 (0.43, 1.82) for Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively). The associations were robust across sex, age, BMI, and when considering PM2.5 and NO2. Sex and BMI interacted with ozone, with ozone exposure having a greater deleterious effect on males, overweight and obese individuals.
Conclusions
To our best knowledge, this is the first cohort study in general population that demonstrates the non-linear hypertensive effects of long-term O3 exposure.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
What if could be possible to give instructions to the learners to improve their driving abilities? What could be the future of the learning process if the actions of the learners could be predicted and the learning-teaching process could be modified based on their abilities? Following this idea, it could be possible to train future drivers carefully and correct their possible mistakes based on low experience or in unfamiliar situations because of their worthlessness. For that reason, the design of the components the driver handle in the vehicle is an essential requirement to consider in case to enhance and adapt the environment to the user. This article is focused on the development of two different models (statistical and fully logic) that can predict the applied force on the pedal clutch. For this purpose, some driving tests with 26 volunteers and a real vehicle were performed. Those experiments generated a massive database where the experience and other physiological characteristics were taken into mind to create the statistical and fuzzy logic model.

Authors: Hu Zhen , Du Junqiang 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background This study aimed to propose nomograms based on clinicopathological variables to predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients after surgical resection therapy for endometrial cancer (EC).Methods Patients who underwent surgical therapy for EC were identified in this single-institution retrospective cohort study from January 1, 2012, to August 31, 2022. Web-based nomograms were developed to predict RFS and OS following EC resection. C-statistics, calibration plots, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess the discriminative and calibration abilities of the nomograms.Results This study included 289 patients who underwent surgery for EC. At a median follow-up of 51.1 (range, 4.1-128.3) months, 13.5% (39 of 289) of the patients showed a relapse or died from their disease. The median age of the participants was 56 years. Approximately one-tenth of the patients (10.7% [31/289]) had non-endometrioid tumor with a median size of 2.8 cm. RFS was predicted using the Akaike data criteria and a backward stepwise selection of clinically relevant variables: positive peritoneal cytology (PC; hazard ratio [HR], 35.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.43-369.39; P = 0.0028), age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (AACCI) (HR, 25.51; 95% CI, 8.74–74.49; P < 0.001), FIGO stage III (HR, 3.01; 95% CI, 1.25–7.22; P = 0.0136), FIGO stage IV (HR, 82.92; 95% CI, 22.27-308.76; P < 0.001). Similarly, OS was predicted using depth of myometrial invasion ≥ 1/2 (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.57–2.46; P = 0.6551), AACCI (HR, 20.09; 95% CI, 6.82–59.16; P < 0.001), FIGO stage III (HR, 3.23; 95% CI, 1.35–7.72; P = 0.0083), FIGO stage IV (HR, 81.56; 95% CI, 20.49-324.57; P < 0.001). Using C-statistics, the nomograms showed good predictive capability and positive discriminative ability and calibration (RFS: 0.895 and OS: 0.891).Conclusions Independent factors were chosen to predict survival and recurrence risk following surgical therapy for EC. The nomograms performed well in the internal validation when patients were stratified into prognostic groups.
Impact of Mobile Banking Adoption on the Technical Efficiency of Commercial Banks in Ethiopia: An Analysis from 2010 to 2022
Authors: Hordofa Dereje Fedasa 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The study investigates the relationship between mobile banking adoption and the technical efficiency of commercial banks in Ethiopia. The research utilizes a stochastic frontier model and analyzes data from 2010 to 2022. Descriptive statistics, pairwise correlations, and regression analysis are employed to examine the impact of mobile banking on technical efficiency. The findings reveal a small but significant positive effect of mobile banking on technical efficiency, aligning with previous literature highlighting the benefits of mobile banking adoption. However, the results also suggest that other factors not accounted for in the model significantly influence technical efficiency. This study contributes to the understanding of the role of mobile banking in enhancing efficiency within the Ethiopian banking sector and emphasizes the need for further research to explore additional determinants of technical efficiency.

Abstract
Background
Undernutrition in the elderly adversely affects physiological and clinical outcomes, and the elderly are among the most vulnerable and high-risk groups for malnutrition. However, undernutrition in the elderly is often underdiagnosed or neglected.
Objective
The objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of undernutrition among elderly people in the Shashemene district, West Arsi Zone, Oromia region, South Ethiopia, in 2021.
Methods
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Shashemene district from March 01 to March 31, 2021. After obtaining informed written consent, socio-demographic, clinical, and anthropometric data were collected from 594 elderly people using a pre-structured questionnaire. The data were entered into Epidata Version 3.1, then analysed using SPSS Version 20. Binary logistic regression was performed to assess factors associated with undernutrition. Those variables with a P-value of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Results
The overall magnitude of undernutrition among the elderly in the present study was 27.9%. Undernutrition was more common among male (29.7%) than female (21.7%) study participants. On multivariate logistic regression, being not satisfied with life (AOR: 4.5, 95% C.I.: 1.29, 15.69) and having an income of < 1500 Ethiopian birr (AOR: 0.021, 95% C.I.: 0.001–0.376) were factors associated with undernutrition.
Conclusion
This study found that the overall magnitude of undernutrition among the elderly is high and needs attention. Therefore, to improve the nutritional status of the elderly in the district, health offices and health professionals should give more attention to the elderly.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Here we have performed single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) experiments on two high-quality crystal platelets of (Al,Fe)-bearing bridgmanite (Mg0.88Fe0.0653+Fe0.0352+Al0.03)(Al0.11Si0.90)O3 (Fe10-Al14-Bgm) up to 64.6(6) GPa at room temperature in a Boehler-Almax type diamond-anvil cell. Refinements on the collected SCXRD patterns reveal reliable structural information of single-crystal Fe10-Al14-Bgm, including unit-cell parameters, atomic coordinates, and anisotropic displacement parameters. Together with Mössbauer and electron microprobe analyses, our best single-crystal refinement model indicates that the sample contains ~6.5 mol% Fe3+, 3.5 mol% Fe2+, and 3 mol% Al3+ in the large pseudo-dodecahedral site (A site), and ~11 mol% Al3+ in the small octahedral site (B site). This may indicate that Al3+ in bridgmanite preferentially occupies the B site. Our results show that the compression of Fe10-Al14-Bgm with pressure causes monotonical decreases in the volumes of AO12 pseudo-dodecahedron and BO6 octahedron (VA and VB, respectively) as well as the associated A-O and B-O bond lengths. The interatomic angles of B-O1-B and B-O2-B decrease from 145.2–145.8° at 4.2(1) GPa to 143.3–143.5° at 64.6(6) GPa. Quantitative calculations of octahedral tilting angles (Ф) show that Ф increases smoothly with pressure. We found a linear relationship between the polyhedral volume ratio and the Ф in the bridgmanite with different compositions: VA/VB = –0.049Φ + 5.549. Our results indicate an increased distortion of the Fe10-Al14-Bgm structure with pressure, which might be related to the distortion of A-site Fe2+. The local environmental changes of A-site Fe2+ in bridgmanite could explain previous results on the hyperfine parameters, abnormal lattice thermal conductivity, mean force constant of iron bonds and other physical properties, which in turn provide insights into our understanding on the geophysics and geochemistry of the planet.

Published: July 2023

AbstractSeepage is the phenomenon of water infiltrating through a gravity dam's foundation, causing erosion and weakening the dam's construction over time. If not properly managed, this can eventually lead to the dam's catastrophic failure, posing a significant danger to public safety and the environment. As a result, precise seepage prediction in gravity dams is essential for ensuring their safety and stability. This review paper looks at the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for predicting seepage in gravity dams, as well as the challenges and possible solutions. The paper identifies and suggests potential solutions to the challenges connected with using AI for seepage prediction, such as data quality and model interpretability. The paper also covers future research paths, such as the creation of advanced machine learning algorithms and the improvement of data collection and processing. Overall, this review gives insight on the current state of the art in using AI to predict gravity dam seepage and recommends methods to improve the accuracy and reliability of such models.

Published: July 2023

Abstract:
Currently, and globally, we are facing the worst epidemic of psychoactive drug abuse resulting in the
loss of hundreds of thousands of lives annually. Besides alcohol and opioid use and misuse, there has been an
increase in illicit abuse of psychostimulants. Epigenetics is a relatively novel area of research that studies heritable
alterations in gene expression. Long-term administration of psychoactive drugs may lead to transcriptional
changes in brain regions related to drug-seeking behaviors and rewards that can be passed down transgenerationally.
Epigenetic biomarkers such as DNA methylation and histone modifications contribute to disease diagnoses.
This review aims to look at the epigenetic modifications brought forth by psychoactive drug abuse.

Published: July 2023

The review highlights the prevalence, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of bronchial asthma (BA), comorbid with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Difficulties in diagnosing triggers of extraesophageal symptoms were noted. Based on a large number of clinical studies, the review assesses the possibilities of minimally invasive methods for detecting biomarkers of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and duodenogastroesophageal reflux (DGER) in the oral fluid. With syntropy of GERD and BA, a significant role and relationship between the parameters of respiratory oxidative inflammation and impaired functions of external respiration was noted. To confirm the reflux origin of extraesophageal respiratory symptoms, it is important to use minimally invasive methods for detecting bilirubin and pepsin in the oral fluid, and to assess the activity of respiratory stress, the determination of its substrates in the blood. Further studies aimed at determining the normative concentrations of DGER substrates in the oral fluid and markers of oxidative respiratory inflammation in the blood will help improve the diagnosis and treatment of BA and GERD syntropy in outpatient practice.

Authors: Gluschenkova N. V. , Sarkisian O. G. , Goncharova Z. A. 
Published: July 2023

Ischemic stroke (IS) remains the most common neurological pathology [1,2] and can manifest itself in the form of malignant ischemic stroke (MIS), leading not only to severe disability of the patient, but to life-threatening conditions [3,4]. Malignant ischemic stroke is one of the most formidable manifestations of ischemic stroke, threatening disability of the working population and the likelihood of death without the appointment of timely therapy. Diagnosis:“Malignant ischemic stroke” can occur no earlier than 12-24 hours, during which time irreversible changes in the brain may occur, accompanied by its pronounced edema, with the threat of subsequent herniation, therefore, the appointment of adequate and timely therapy is necessary as soon as possible [5,6] . Taking into account the peculiarities of the course of the disease, there is a need to search for predictors of MIS. In order to timely predict irreversible consequences, in the above literature review, we consider modern approaches to diagnosing the malignant course of ischemic stroke. The analysis of the literature data allows us to determine some clinical and laboratory predictors of the development of malignant ischemic stroke and methods for assessing the severity of ischemic stroke. Various possibilities of using the studied markers for the purpose of practical use in the early diagnosis of MIS are considered. Based on the literature data, the possibilities of diagnostics were analyzed in order to prescribe timely and adequate therapy before the onset of irreversible changes in the brain.

Authors: Sosnina V. S. , Simonova Zh. G. 
Published: July 2023

Objective: to study the features of coronary calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease receiving renal replacement therapy with program hemodialysis. Materials and methods: in the process of an open clinical trial, a group of patients (n = 43) with end-stage chronic kidney disease (23 women and 20 men) was formed. The average age of patients was 54±13 years, the median length of dialysis therapy was 11 [6; 16] months. All patients received renal replacement therapy with program hemodialysis. The procedures were carried out on artificial kidney devices according to the standard scheme 3 times a week for 4 hours. Patients underwent traditional clinical and laboratory examination. All patients were assessed for coronary calcification by multispiral computed tomography. On the Agatston scale, the severity of coronary calcification was assessed taking into account the density and area of calcium deposition. Results: on the results of multispiral computed tomography to determine the degree of calcification of the coronary arteries, we found that 48% of patients had low and minimal calcification, 16% — insignificant calcification, 36% — measured and pronounced calcification. When comparing laboratory parameters in the groups of patients with different calcification of the coronary arteries, the level of inorganic phosphorus (1,64±0,07 mmol/L) was significantly higher in patients with insignificant, moderate and severe calcification than in patients with minimal and low calcinosis (1,35±0,12 mmol/L) (p=0.04). There was a pronounced direct correlation between age and calcium index (r=0,52, p=0,0011). With an increase in dialysis experience, an increase in calcium index is noted (r = 0,14; p = 0,045). Conclusion: in 52% of patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease receiving renal replacement therapy with program hemodialysis, coronary calcification is determined from the results of multispiral computed tomography of the coronary arteries. Patients with moderate to severe coronary calcinosis have significantly higher levels of serum phosphorus compared to patients with minimal to low calcinosis. At the same time, the age of patients and the length of dialysis therapy affect the severity of coronary calcinosis
