Published: September 2023

Abstract
With the rapid development of society and economy, video monitoring networks are widely used in many fields. In real-world scenarios, camera installation is limited by height and density, and most of the images captured in videos are incomplete persons. In complex scenes with high person flow density, it is difficult to accurately identify, track, and detect a certain person. The person Re-Identification method is mainly divided into two stages: the first stage is to detect all persons in the monitoring video, and the second stage is to compare persons in numerous videos based on a certain target object, in order to find the same character. This study proposes a Transformer graph based Convolutional neural network (Tran-GCN) model to improve person recognition in monitoring video. The Tran-GCN model includes two parts: First, design a person graph convolutional network learning model. Firstly, the basic CNN is used to extract the global appearance features of persons. Then, through the OpenPose human pose estimation network, the rich pose information of persons is fully combined with the inherent skeletal structure information of persons to obtain key point information of persons. Through the graph convolutional network, the relationship information of person joint structure is integrated to obtain the relationship features between nodes. Secondly, design a person Re-Identification model for the Transformer learning branch, learning more fine-grained semantic local feature relationships of persons, so that the model focuses on more important local regions. Finally, through experimental verification, more accurate discriminative person features were captured to re identify personnel in monitoring videos, improving recognition accuracy and effectiveness.

Abstract
Background The development of peptides for therapeutic targets or biomarkers for disease diagnosis is a challenging task in protein engineering. Current approaches are tedious, often time-consuming and require complex laboratory data due to the vast search space. In silico methods can accelerate research and substantially reduce costs. Evolutionary algorithms are a promising approach for exploring large search spaces and facilitating the discovery of new peptides.
Results This study presents the development and use of a variant of the initial POET algorithm, called POETRegex, which is based on genetic programming, where individuals are represented by a list of regular expressions. The program was trained on a small curated dataset and employed to predict new peptides that can improve the problem of sensitivity in detecting peptides through magnetic resonance imaging using chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). The resulting model achieves a performance gain of 20% over the initial POET variant and is able to predict a candidate peptide with a 58% performance increase compared to the gold-standard peptide.
Conclusions By combining the power of genetic programming with the flexibility of regular expressions, new potential peptide targets were identified to improve the sensitivity of detection by CEST. This approach provides a promising research direction for the efficient identification of peptides with therapeutic or diagnostic potential.
Significance of the number space and coordinate system in physics for elementary particles and the planetary system
Authors: SCHMIDT Helmut Christian 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In physics, a single center of gravity is assumed for forces. However, at least 3 points π, π2, π3 are required as the center, orthograde for the 3 spatial dimensions. With this approach, the universe can be understood as a set of rational numbers Q. This is to be distinguished from how we see the world, a 3-dimensional space with time. Observations from the past is the subset Q+ for physics. A system of 3 objects, each with 3 spatial coordinates on the surface and time, is sufficient for physics. For the microcosm, the energy results from the 10 independent parameters as a polynomial P(2). For an observer, the local coordinates are the normalization for the metric. Our idea of a space with revolutions of 2π gives the coordinates in the macrocosm in epicycles. This means a transformation of the energies into polynomials P(2π) and thus corresponds to quantum theory. The moon and earth are unique and are in a ground state. c can be calculated from the units meter and day.
π/2 c m day = rEarth2
This formula provides the equatorial radius of the earth with an accuracy of 489 m. Orbits can be calculated using polynomials P(2π) and orbital times in the planetary system with P(8). A common constant can be derived from h, G and c with the consequence for H0:
h G c5 s8/m10 (π4- π2-π-1-π-3)1/2 = 1.00000 H0theory= π 1/2 h G c3 s5/m8
mneutron/me = (2π)4 +(2π)3+(2π)2-(2π)1-(2π)0-(2π)-1+2(2π)-2+ (2π)-4-2(2π)-6 +6(2π)-8 = 1838.6836611
Theory: 1838.6836611 me measured: 1838.68366173(89) me
For each charge there is an energy EC = -π+2π-1- π-3+2π-5-π-7+π-9-π-12
Together with the neutron mass, the result for the proton is:
mproton=mneutron + C me= 1836.15267363me
Fine-structure constant:

Published: September 2023

Abstract
The restricted intracranial volume in syndromic craniosynostosis is due to limited skull expansion caused by early fusion of multiple cranial sutures. This led to progressive increased in intracranial pressure which has long been established as the cause of optic nerve damage. Optic nerve damage secondary to the narrowing of optic canal in syndromic craniosynostosis has been reported but not comprehensively explored. The objective of this study is to predict using logistic regression the cause of optic nerve atrophy is caused by increased intracranial pressure or structural narrowing of optic canal. The study involved 11 measurements of features of the optic canals as predictor variables. A binary logistic regression and variable selection method were applied to the 11 measurements to choose the best combination of the predictors. The results show good models that could be considered a suitable representation of the data. The height at the optical cranial side is the most dominant feature in the top 20 models that specifies the syndromic patients, followed by the area and the perimeter for both optic canals, then the length of the medial wall and the diameter at the mid canal for right and left canal respectively. The paper's findings provide significant evidence for using this method as an alternative to determine if the cause of optic nerve atrophy is related to either increased intracranial pressure or narrowing optic canal structure among syndromic craniosynostosis patients, thus saving the patient from ineffective operations, additional risks, and waste of resources.

Abstract
Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common malignant brain tumor, is associated with devastating outcomes. IPAX-1 was a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase I study to evaluate carrier-added 4-L-[131I]iodo-phenylalanine ([131I]IPA) plus external radiation therapy (XRT) in recurrent GBM.
Methods: A total of 10 adults with recurrent GBM who had received first-line debulking surgery plus radiochemotherapy, were randomized to a single dose regimen (1f; 131I-IPA 2 GBq before XRT); a fractionated parallel dose regimen (3f-p; three 131I-IPA 670 MBq fractions, in parallel with second-line XRT), or a fractionated sequential dose regimen (3f-s; three 131I-IPA 670 MBq fractions before and after XRT). Metabolic tumor responses were determined using O-(2- [18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine positron emission tomography, while single-photon emission computed tomography was used to guide [131I]IPA tumor dosimetry.
Results: All dose regimens were well tolerated. Organ-absorbed radiation doses in red marrow (0.38 Gy) and kidney (1.28 Gy) confirmed no radiation-based toxicity. Stable disease was observed in 4 of 9 patients at 3-month (mo) post-treatment (3-mo follow-up [FU], 1 patient did not reach protocol-mandated end of study), yielding a response rate of 44.4%. At the 3-mo FU, 6 patients demonstrated metabolic stable disease. Median progression-free survival was 4.3 months (95% confidence interval, 3.3–4.5), while median overall survival was 13 months (95% confidence interval, 7.1–27).
Conclusion: Single or fractionated doses of [131I]IPA plus XRT were associated with acceptable tolerability and specific tumor targeting in patients with recurrent GBM, warranting further investigation.

Abstract

Sustainable western US municipal water system (MWS) management depends on quantifying the impacts of supply and demand dynamics on system infrastructure reliability and vulnerability. Systems modeling can replicate the interactions but extensive parameterization, high complexity, and long development cycles present barriers to widespread adoption. To address these challenges, we develop the Machine Learning Water Systems Model (ML-WSM) – a novel application of data-driven modeling for MWS management. We apply the ML-WSM framework to the Salt Lake City, Utah water system, where we benchmark prediction performance on the seasonal response of reservoir levels, groundwater withdrawal, and imported water requests to climate anomalies at a daily resolution against an existing systems model. The ML-WSM accurately predicts the seasonal dynamics of all components; especially during supply-limiting conditions (KGE &gt; 0.88, PBias &lt; ±3%). Extreme wet conditions challenged model skill but the ML-WSM communicated the appropriate seasonal trends and relationships to component thresholds (e.g., reservoir dead pool). The model correctly classified nearly all instances of vulnerability (83%) and peak severity (100%), encouraging its use as a guidance tool that complements systems models for evaluating the influences of climate on MWS performance.
Ecosystem governance of rural water ecosystem services under sustainable utilization
Authors: Yang Shujie 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Water resources not only threaten the physical health of rural residents but also affect their drinking water needs, causing certain damage to the rural water ecosystem services (WES) and threatening the coordinated development of the natural ecological environment. In response to issues such as outdated personnel awareness, severe WES waste, and low resource utilization in current WES governance, this article optimized and monitored relevant governance methods for the rural WES environment to improve the sustainable utilization of WES. This article analyzed the main types of WES and studied the monitoring and governance methods of WES governance. This article used the projection pursuit model to evaluate the governance methods of WES comprehensively and proposed corresponding strategies for optimal utilization to improve the utilization rate of WES. The WES utilization rate and rural sewage treatment capacity after optimization measures were higher than those before optimization measures. The utilization rate of WES after the optimization strategy was 15.4% higher than before, and the rural pollution treatment capacity was 17.8% higher than before the optimization strategy. Improving investment in water pollution technology and environmental infrastructure in rural areas is important and positive in improving rural WES governance and sustainable utilization.
Removal of microfiber and surfactants from household laundry washing effluents by powdered activated carbon: kinetics and isotherm studies
Authors: Cetinkaya Atesci Zuhal , Inan Hatice 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Domestic laundry wastewater discharge contributes significantly to the presence of microfiber and surfactant pollutants in aquatic ecosystems, which have detrimental and toxic effects on humans and the environment. Investigating the efficacy of powdered activated carbon (PAC) in removing micro-/nanofibers with or without surfactant from household laundry effluent is the purpose of the current research. To simulate real-world scenarios, PAC adsorption kinetics and isotherms in laundry effluents under controlled conditions were studied. These studies showed that the kinetics obeyed a pseudo-second-order process and the isotherms varied between Langmuir and Freundlich models depending on the water types. In the results of experiments using distilled water and tap water, it was observed that the adsorption capacity was higher in tap water. When the adsorption of 0.1 μm filtered synthetic garments, detergent, and tap water was compared with the adsorption of the raw sample, it was observed that the adsorption capacity of the 0.1 μm filtered version was higher. Even though this study is preliminary, the results indicate that PAC has the capacity to serve as a viable approach for mitigating micro-/nanoplastic and surfactant contamination from laundry wastewater, thereby offering valuable guidance for advancing eco-friendly laundry techniques.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most widely used chemical products, which is discharged into rivers and oceans, posing great hazards to organisms such as reproductive toxicity, hormone imbalance and cardiopathy induction. With the expansion harm of BPA, people have paid more attention to the environmental effects. In this paper, the degradation of BPA from the synthetic wastewater using the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase membrane reactor (HPR) was investigated. The immobilized HRP microporous membrane was prepared by the porous calcium alginate method. In addition, the reuse of the immobilized HPR membrane and the measurement of membrane flux showed that the membrane has good activity and stability. Finally, the experimental parameters including reaction time, pH, the concentration of BPA and the dosage of H2O2 were optimized to remove the BPA, and about 78% degradation efficiency of BPA was achieved at the optimal condition as follows: H2O2 to BPA molar ratio of 1.50 with an initial BPA concentration of 0.1 mol/L, the HPR dosage of 3.84 u/mL, the initial solution pH of 7.0, a temperature of 20 °C and a contact time of 10 min.

Published: September 2023

A temática deste Editorial se reserva a comentar sobre a busca pela indexação. Uma das preocupações dos periódicos científicos no meio acadêmico é alcançar o maior número de leitores e, consequentemente, de citações. Em âmbito mundial, duas grandes bases de dados realizam métricas para monitorar o impacto das revistas na comunidade acadêmica. Ainda em relação à indexação, houve a inclusão da RevUergs no Miguilim, que é o Diretório das revistas científicas eletrônicas brasileiras do Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (IBICT). Participam deste diretório, em sua maioria, as instituições de ensino superior públicas de diversos estados, tanto da esfera federal quanto da estadual. O objetivo é reunir as informações essenciais sobre as revistas editadas e publicadas no Brasil. Existem diretórios que são fontes confiáveis e que promovem a divulgação de aspectos sobre a política editorial (copyright) das revistas científicas. Entre eles podemos citar: Sherpa Romeo, Dulcinea e Diadorim. A RevUergs foi inicialmente indexada no Diadorim, que é um serviço de responsabilidade do IBICT, e agora estamos também no Sherpa Romeo. De acordo com Costa e Alves (2019), o Sherpa Romeo foi criado como parte do projeto Securing a Hybrid Environment for Research Preservation and Access e apresenta e agrega as políticas de acesso aberto para editores e periódicos científicos de diversos países. Tais políticas são importantes para observar as formas de acesso e de armazenamento dos artigos para autores e editores, bem como para uso (catalogação) em repositórios temáticos e/ou institucionais.
Study for Some Eccentricity-based Topological Indices of Second Type of
Dominating David-derived Network
Authors: Liu Jia-Bao , Ali Haidar , Ali Didar Abdulkhaleq , Umer Ayesha , Ali Parvez , Kirmani Syed Ajaz K. 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Dominating David-derived networks are widely studied due to their
fractal nature, with applications in topology, chemistry, and computer sciences. The use of
molecular structure descriptors is a standard procedure that is used to correlate the biological
activity of molecules with their chemical structures, which can be useful in the field of
pharmacology.

Objective:
This article's goal is to develop analytically closed computing formulas for eccentricitybased
descriptors of the second type of dominating David-derived network. Thermodynamic
characteristics, physicochemical properties, and chemical and biological activities of chemical
graphs are just a few of the many properties that may be determined using these computation
formulas.

Methods:
Vertex sets were initially divided according to their degrees, eccentricities, and
cardinalities of occurrence. The eccentricity-based indices are then computed using some
combinatorics and these partitions.

Results:
Total eccentricity, average eccentricity, and the Zagreb index are distance-based
topological indices utilized in this study for the second type of dominating David-derived network,
denoted as D2(m).

Conclusion:
These calculations will assist the readers in estimating the fractal and difficult-tohandle
thermodynamic and physicochemical aspects of chemical structure. Apart from
configuration and impact resistance, the D2(m) design has been used for fundamental reasons in a
variety of technical and scientific advancements.

Published: September 2023

Background:
Oxidation is a valuable tool in preparative organic chemistry. Oxoam-monium salts and nitroxides have proven valuable as reagents and catalysts in this endeavor.

Objective:
The objective of this study is to scale up the oxidative amidation, ester formation, and nitrile formation using nitroxide as an organocatalyst.

Methods:
Oxidative functionalization reactions were scaled from the 1 mmol to the 1 mole level. Sodium persulfate was used as the primary oxidant, and a nitroxide was employed as a catalyst. The products of the reactions were isolated in analytically pure form by extraction with no need for column chromatography.

Results:
The oxidative amidation and esterification of aldehydes can be scaled up from 1 mmol to 1 mole effectively, with comparable product yields being obtained at each increment. This work shows that conditions developed on a small scale can be transferred to a larger scale without reop-timization. The oxidative functionalization of aldehydes to prepare nitriles is not amenable to direct scale-up due to the concomitant formation of significant quantities of the corresponding carboxylic acid, thereby compromising the product yield.

Conclusion:
Two of the three oxidative transformations studied here can be scaled up successfully from the 1 mmol to the 1 mole level.

Esophageal Hematoma Mimicking Esophageal Varices after Chewing Betel Nut:
A Case Report
Authors: Shi Yan , Wu Qian-neng , Zhang Fu-long , Chen Shu-rong , Zhou Dan , Zhu Yuan-dong 
Published: September 2023

Background:
Betel nut chewing is very common in Southeast Asia and other tropical countries. Much clinical evidence suggests that chewing betel nut has pro-inflammatory and carcinogenic effects, but there are few clinical reports of acute toxicity caused by it, especially involving esophageal damage.

Case presentation:
We presented a case of a 72-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital for chest pain and hematemesis within several minutes after chewing betel nut. Gastroscopy showed two longitudinal ridge-like mucosal eminences in the esophagus located 20 cm from the incisors down to the gastric cardia, which was similar to varices. At last, a CT scan showed concentric-circle thickening of the esophagus wall, suggesting hematomas. Our treatment included fasting, inhibiting gastric acid and maintaining blood volume. After one week of medical treatment, rechecked gastroscopy showed that esophageal hematomas were gradually absorbed, with the formation of multiple shallow ulcers.

Conclusions:
The acute toxicity of chewing betel nut can be easily overlooked. Patients who experience chest pain or hematemesis after chewing betel nut products,especially those who take aspirin at the same time, need to be alert to esophageal hematoma.
