Abstract

Background: Staphylococcus spp., and Pseudomonas spp., including multidrug resistant staphylococci are frequent isolates from canine otitis externa and atopic dermatitis. Biofilm formation by these organisms may be important in otitis chronicity. With ear cleanser products commonly used to control microbial overgrowth, it is important to measure their antibiofilm effects. Six ear cleansers (EpioticⓇ SIS, EpioticⓇ Advanced, CleanauralⓇ, Otifree, PeptivetⓇ and SonotixⓇ) were evaluated against infection isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin resistant and sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Antibiofilm activity was measured colorimetrically via the presence of viable cells as detected by the reduction of a thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide compound (MTT). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of EpioticⓇ SIS and EpioticⓇ Advanced were measured using a broth micro-dilution assay to ascertain inhibition in planktonic phase.
Results: EpioticⓇ (SIS and Advanced), CleanauralⓇ and PeptivetⓇ showed strong antibiofilm activity, with Otifree and SonotixⓇ showing moderate to low antibiofilm activity. Differences in inhibition between the methicillin resistant and sensitive staphylococcal isolates were also observed between the products with Otifree showing significantly less inhibition of the resistant isolate of S. aureus compared to the sensitive isolate. P. aeruginosa biofilms were less effectively disrupted by some ear cleansers compared to EpioticⓇ, and the MIC results indicated that less diluted solutions were required to inhibit this isolate compared to the staphylococci. Differences in the antibacterial effects between EpioticⓇ SIS and EpioticⓇ Advanced solutions could also be detected from the MIC assays suggesting differences in formulations can affect antimicrobial efficacy.
Conclusions: Commonly used canine ear cleanser products showed activity against multidrug resistant and sensitive Staphylococcusspp. and P. aeruginosa isolates in both biofilm and planktonic phases. Differences between strains and cleansers were observed that should enable better targeted use of these products.

Abstract
Aspect-based sentiment analysis is a complex subtask of sentiment analysis in which the sentiment polarities of given aspect terms in phrases are determined. In this paper, we suggested a novel Mounting-based knowledge transmission network for aspect-based sentiment analysis. First and foremost, before entering data into models, data preparation (data pre-processing) is crucial, as it contributes to achieving high accuracy. For the textual data, special procedures were required, including tokenization, stop word deletion, and the Weighting Factor, which was all applied in this study. Second, employing feature extraction based on the Aspect term using NB, Modified BERT (MBERT) together with Entropy measure may focus on the critical context words to the given aspect terms in sentences. Finally, Convolution neural network is used to predict the result of sentiment classification aspect polarities as positive or negative.Experimental results show that our proposed approach accomplishes the most extreme accuracy outcome of 92%. Comparable to the TMSC and DNN, which achieves 78%, 72%. The MGAN and CNN had the accuracyworst of 70% and 71%. The HSCN had the very worst accuracy69%.

Abstract
Inverters and inductive instruments have been used with electric motors in recent years. They must be analyzed together to diagnose the inverter and induction machine properly. Inverter defects may affect application performance, increasing cost and diminishing efficiency. AI has improved defect detection in electric cars and industrial equipment traction motors. Safety and performance need efficient detection. Real-time monitoring and AI-powered decision assistance decrease operational disruptions. Analyzing massive sensor data reveals discrepancies for accurate predictions and preventive maintenance. Analysis of data and interactions notifies maintenance staff. This full strategy accelerates issue discovery, diagnosis, and maintenance. This work designs an artificial intelligence-based Multiple Electrical Units (MEU) for a fault detection system of traction motors to identify faults and ensure safe and stable operation reliably. This study first uses the system's optical fiber sensor, digital-to-analog converter module, system control unit, and phase-locked loop module to identify traction motor problems using artificial intelligence. Second, the optical fiber sensor collects the motor signal, and phase-locked loops monitor the traction motor's frequency. Third, improved cuckoo and difference analysis detects motor problems. The enhanced cuckoo algorithm can overcome the poor efficiency of motor fault identification, and the diverse analyses can minimize fundamental wave interference to a motor fault and combine their benefits to complete traction motor fault detection. The presented defect detection method performs well in experiments. The proposed approach improves motor defect detection accuracy, reduces error, and ensures MUE safety and stability.

Abstract
Multivalley systems offer an additional degree of freedom as electrons and holes can emerge at different momenta of the Brillouin zone. In such systems, a valley pseudospin is required to describe the quantum states. The valley pseudospin offers rich physics going from encoding of information by its polarization (valleytronics), to exploring novel phases of matter when its degeneracy is changed. Here, we introduce the multivalley Pb1-xSnxSe system as a new platform for valleytronic physics and devices. By strain engineering, we reveal fully valley-polarized quantum Hall (QH) phases, showing an effective strain control of the valley pseudospin for quantum transport. The valley splitting is shown to be highly sensitive to strain and can even exceed the fundamental band gap in this material. This leads to the emergence of a novel QH phase - the “bipolar QH phase”, heralded by the coexistence of counter propagating chiral edge states at different valleys in one and the same quantum well layer. This reveals that spatially overlaid counter-propagating chiral edge states emerging at different valleys do not interfere with each other.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of constructing millimeter band antennas using dielectric waveguide structures. A new type of linear antenna, incorporating metal pins on the side walls of the grooved dielectric waveguide, is proposed for generating polarization perpendicular to the waveguide axis. However, these antennas suffer from the drawback of cross-polarized radiation in directions close to the waveguide axis. To overcome this limitation, a modified antenna design with transverse polarization is introduced, featuring a closed groove waveguide with a longitudinal slot in the top of wall. The paper provides a comparison between two types of dielectric waveguide antennas. First, waveguide antenna with grooves in the dielectric which resulting longitudinal polarization, and second, waveguide antenna with quarter-wavelength pins which resulting transverse polarization. Electrodynamic modeling data is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed antennas for satellite, 5G antenna, and radar applications. Finally, antenna of quarter-wavelength pins is proposed with frequency of 39GHz, gain of 19.8dBi, width of radiation pattern of 3.2\(^{\circ}\) and side lobe level (SLL) of -13.3dB has been achieved.

Abstract
AF promotes the progression of Heart failure and preserves Ejection Fraction(HFpEF), so reducing the risk of atrial fibrillation(AF) in HFpEF can significantly improve the prognosis of patients. However, there is lack of research on predictive models of AF in HFpEF. This study aims to build a risk model to predict the risk of AF in HFpEF patients, to guide early intervention of risk factors and reduce the risk of AF. Our study collected and analyzed retrospectively for 259 subjects diagnosed with HFpEF at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University. Objectives were divided into 2 groups: group Ⅰ: HFpEF with no-AF (n = 128); Group Ⅱ: with AF (n = 131) for the baseline feature analysis. Models were constructed by logistic regression; a nomogram was visualized, and internal validation by bootstrapping, DCA curve was applied the evaluation new model. Compared with non-AF patients, those have older age, faster heart rate, metabolic, disorder, and myocardial. Based on logistic regression forward stepping method analysis, [hyperuricemia (HU)](p < 0.001), [left atrium diameter (LAD)](p = 0.039), [right atrium diameter (RAD)](p < 0.001), [triglyceride(TG)](p = 0.003), [age(> 65years)](p = 0.006), [heart rate(HR)](p = 0.007) were independently predictors of HFpEF with AF. Those were included in this model [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.873] and mean absolute error is 0.01, the threshold probability was within about 0.14 and 0.97 in decision curve analysis (DCA) curve, clinical application by Nomogram provided a greater net benefit. HFpEF patients had AF, older age, RAD, LAD, TG, heart rate and HU are significantly associated with it. The proposed model based on clinical features accurately predicts it and has a good application.

Previously neglected – now increasingly popular The recent acceptance of funnel chanterelle, Craterellus tubaeformis (Fr.) Quél., as food in contemporary Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden)

Abstract
Hunting mushrooms for food is a recent activity in Scandinavia (Norway and Sweden). No mushroom species were used by the peasantry for food in pre-industrial times. In fact, the rural population had a deep-rooted distrust of fungi. Although mushrooms were visible in the landscape (forests, meadows) which were used for other purposes by peasants, hunters, and herders, the edible macrofungi were usually left untouched even in times of need. In general, Scandinavians were mycophobic societies. However, this has changed over the past 150 years. Urbanites have discovered fungi as a food, due to information disseminated by academic mycologists and amateur fungi enthusiasts in books, various printed media, evening classes, radio programmes, podcasts etc. In recent decades, mushroom hunting has also become an important leisure activity, especially for city dwellers who can easily access the forest by bike and car. Mushrooms are, by reason of the so-called Everyman's Right, a free resource available for everyone to harvest, even on private land. Since the end of the 1970s, urban foragers have particularly discovered the funnel chantarelle, Craterellus tubaeformis (Fr.) Quél. In a short time, it has become one of the most popular edible mushrooms in Scandinavia. Even though it was mentioned as an edible mushroom in field guides as early as the mid-20th century, it was not until the late 1970s that it began to be appreciated by the general public. In the early 1980s, it was widely mentioned in newspapers and in evening classes for novice mushroom gatherers. After a brief break following the Chernobyl disaster in the spring of 1986 – due to concern about the high level of radiocaesium in forest products – C. tubaeformis has grown in popularity. Today, the funnel chanterelle is a valued wild food with a wide range of uses. In addition to people gathering chanterelles for personal consumption, commercial operators also harvest them. This taxon can therefore be found both fresh and dried in grocery stores, farm shops, and weekly market stalls. C. tubaeformis is also harvested to some extent in other Eurasian countries as well as in North America. The aim of this article is to analyse how C. tubaeformis was discovered by foragers and became one of the most popular edible wild fungi in Norwegian and Swedish cuisines.

Abstract
Background: Nutrition plays a key role in development of a person, especially during adolescence as many physiological and psychological changes take place during this period. Healthy eating behavior is one of the most important factor to meet the nutritional need of adolescents. This study was designated in order to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and eating patterns of adolescents of Telangana.
Objectives: i) To Assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of eating habits and patterns in urban and rural adolescent-school going group. ii) To compare the Knowledge, attitude and practice of eating patterns of urban and rural adolescent-school going group.
Materials and methods: The study was conducted among urban and rural adolescents between the age group of 12-16 years of both sexes from different schools of Telangana, out of which 60 students were selected by simple random method. Adolescent Food Habit Checklist (AFHC) was used to assess the Knowledge, attitude and eating pattern among these adolescents. Data was collected and descriptive statistical analysis was done by applying Chi-square test using SPSS version 24 Software.
Results: During this study, the total positive responses calculated were 56.5%, 54.16% and 53.7% respectively for knowledge, attitude and eating patterns. The AFHC questionnaire which was used consists of 23 questions out of which 16 questions i.e. (69.56%) is showing that there is no difference in eating behavior among urban and rural adolescents which is null hypothesis (H0) whereas 7 questions i.e. (30.44%) shows that there is difference. There was no statistical difference in knowledge, attitude and eating behavior in general.
Conclusion: This study showed that there was no significant difference found regarding knowledge, attitude and eating patterns among rural and urban adolescents. When compared it was concluded from the study that rural adolescents were better in knowledge in spite of which their attitude and eating patterns were not much influenced by that whereas in urban group it was observed that they had less knowledge which also reflected in their attitude and eating patterns. The need for overall improvement in Knowledge, attitude and behavior towards healthy food habits both in Rural and Urban adolescents was evident from the study.

Abstract
In this study, porous carbon nanaocubes encapsulated magnetic metallic Co nanoparticles (denoted as Co@N-PCNC) was prepared via pyrolyzing ZIF-67 nanocubes precursor at 600°C, and characterized by various technologies. It was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade Congo red (CR) dye efficiently. Over 98.45% of 50 mg/L CR with initial pH of 5.5 was degraded by 100 mg/L PMS activated by 10 mg/L Co@N-C within 12 min. The free radical quenching experiments were performed to reveal the nature of the reactive oxygen species radicals generated throughout the catalytic oxidation of CR. The effects of common inorganic anions and water matrix on CR removal were studied. The Co@N-PCNC displayed good operational stability, and after three cycles, the CR removal rate can still maintain over 90% after 12 min reaction.

Abstract
Background:
Intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents is accepted as the gold standard treatment for center-involving diabetic macular edema (CI-DME). Adjunctive administration of topical dorzolamide may enhance the therapeutic effects of anti-VEGF agents. In this study, we compared the efficacy of topical dorzolamide in addition to intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB) versus IVB alone in patients with bilateral DME.
Methods:
This randomized, double-blind, contralateral eye study included 50 eyes of 25 patients with bilateral DME. All eyes received three consecutive monthly injections of IVB. For each patient, one eye was randomized to instill dorzolamide eye drops three times a day as an intervention, and the control eye received artificial tear drops as a placebo. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and intraocular pressure (IOP) were evaluated before starting treatment and then monthly for the next 3 months.
Results:
Among 25 included patients, the average age was 56.64 ± 7.97 years, and 48% were female. BCVA did not improve significantly in any groups (P > 0.05). The present study showed a decrease in CMT in both study groups (P < 0.001). IOP decreased significantly only in patients receiving dorzolamide (P < 0.001). No significant difference was observed in terms of BCVA and CMT between the intervention and control groups (P > 0.05). However, IOP was significantly lower in patients receiving topical dorzolamide compared to the control group (P < 0.001).
Conclusions:
The results of the present study indicate that adjunctive administration of topical dorzolamide does not have an additive effect on CMT and BCVA improvement compared to IVB monotherapy.

Abstract
Background
TDP-43 proteinopathies represents a spectrum of neurological disorders, anchored clinically on either end by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). The ALS-FTD spectrum exhibits a diverse range of clinical presentations with overlapping phenotypes, highlighting its heterogeneity. This study aimed to use disease progression modeling to identify novel data-driven spatial and temporal subtypes of brain atrophy and its progression in the ALS-FTD spectrum.
Methods
We used a data-driven procedure to identify 13 anatomic clusters of brain volumes for 57 behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD; with either autopsy-confirmed TDP-43 or TDP-43 proteinopathy-associated genetic variants), 103 ALS, and 47 ALS-FTD patients with likely TDP-43. A Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn) model was trained to identify subtypes of individuals along the ALS-FTD spectrum with distinct brain atrophy patterns, and we related subtypes and stages to clinical, genetic, and neuropathological features of disease.
Results
SuStaIn identified three novel subtypes: two disease subtypes with predominant brain atrophy either in prefrontal/somatomotor regions or limbic-related regions, and a normal-appearing group without obvious brain atrophy. The Limbic-predominant subtype tended to present with more impaired cognition, higher frequencies of pathogenic variants in TBK1 and TARDBP genes, and a higher proportion of TDP-43 type B, E and C. In contrast, the Prefrontal/Somatomotor-predominant subtype had higher frequencies of pathogenic variants in C9orf72 and GRN genes and higher proportion of TDP-43 type A. The normal-appearing brain group showed higher frequency of ALS relative to ALS-FTD and bvFTD patients, higher cognitive capacity, higher proportion of lower motor neuron onset, milder motor symptoms, and lower frequencies of genetic pathogenic variants. Overall SuStaIn stages also correlated with evidence for clinical progression including longer disease duration, higher King’s stage, and cognitive decline. Additionally, SuStaIn stages differed across clinical phenotypes, genotypes and types of TDP-43 pathology.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest distinct neurodegenerative subtypes of disease along the ALS-FTD spectrum that can be identified in vivo, each with distinct brain atrophy, clinical, genetic and pathological patterns.
