Performance evaluation of ANN and ANFIS models for estimating velocity and pressure in water distribution networks
Authors: Rashid Abu , Kumari Sangeeta 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

In this study, two artificial intelligence techniques: (1) artificial neural networks (ANNs) using different algorithms such as Lavenberg–Marquardt (LM), Bayesian Regularization (BR), and Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) and (2) Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) are used to predict velocity and pressure for Gadhra (DMA-5) real water distribution network (WDN), East Singhbhum district of Jharkhand, India. In case 1, flow rate and diameter are used as independent variables to predict velocity. In case 2, elevation and demand are used as independent variables to predict pressure. 80% of the data are used to train, test, and validate the ANN and ANFIS prediction models, while 20% of the data are used to evaluate data-driven models. Sensitivity analysis is performed in ANN-LM to understand the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The performance indices of RMSE, MAE, and R2 are evaluated for ANN and ANFIS for different combinations. The ANN-LM, with 2-16-1 architecture, is found as a superior to predict velocity and ANN-LM with architecture 2-17-1 is found as a superior to predict pressure. ANN-LM had the best prediction in estimating velocity (RMSE = 0.0189, MAE = 0.0122, R2 = 0.9568) and pressure (RMSE = 0.3244, MAE = 0.2176, R2 = 0.9773).

This study was conducted to evaluate the different concentrations of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), Benzyladenine (BA) and Gibberellic acid (GA3­) as foliar applications on growth and flower quality of potted rose Nhung (Rosa chinensis Jacq. cv. Nhung). The experiment was constructed in a completely randomized design, that included seven treatments, such as control (sprayed water), NAA, BA and GA3 at two different concentrations of 25 and 50 ppm, in six replications, with one plant/pot for each replication. The chemical solutions were applied three times at an interval of fifteen days. The results revealed that some plant growth regulators increased the growth and flowering time of rose cv. Nhung. Using pre-harvest foliar sprays of NAA and BA at 25 and 50 ppm concentrations showed maximum bud diameter, flower diameter and flowering duration as compared with the control treatment. The concentration of GA3 foliar application at 25 ppm increased plant growth (the height of flowering branches and Spad values) without affecting flower quality values and the flowering duration in comparison with the control treatment.

Frequentemente caminhamos com o propósito de ir de um lugar a outro, sem a devida atenção ao meio do percurso, ao que está à nossa frente. A estética e a beleza passam despercebidas pelos olhares apressados e dão lugar aos mapas mentais previamente traçados, criados para obter uma execução perfeita do nosso objetivo: chegar. Chegar sem desvios e novas rotas. Fazemos isso constantemente, olhamos os lugares como zonas desconhecidas, zonas as quais não pertencemos e o comportamento de cada uma delas depende somente de nós. Nosso objetivo é traçar um caminho a ser percorridos das possíveis relações com a cidade, que posso promover um novo olhar a quem escolhe ver até onde os pés o farão chegar.
A mineralogic approach to estimating the volume of dissolution, alteration, and unaltered residue from weathering of different provenance lithotypes
Authors: Heins William Andrew , Brengman Latisha A 
Published: August 2023

Evaluation of the approximate magnitude of the gross discrepancy between
the volume of sediment produced on the hinterland and the volume
deposited in the basin, over long time and length scales, is required to
make source-to-sink sediment mass-balance calculations more accurate so
that multiple sources for a single widespread stratigraphic unit, or
bypass of the unit, might be more easily detected.
This paper outlines a method to characterize the sources of sediments,
or provenance lithotypes, according to their relative ability to produce
dissolved ions, clay minerals, and unaltered residue at different levels
of weathering. Estimating the relative proportion of the hinterland that
is dissolved supports mass-balance analysis comparing hinterland
denudation with basinal deposition, whereas estimating the relative
proportion of clay (both original clay, eroded from mudstone, for
example, as well as newly created clay produced by weathering of
feldspar) supports potential identification of multiple sediment
sources. The method is illustrated with a practical example from the
Bohemian Massif and documented with an Excel workbook.
This is a mineralogical approach based on mineral inventories of
weathering profiles. Even if the prediction is necessarily uncertain
because the mineralogical representation of the PLs are gross
abstractions, the modelled transformation processes are crude cartoons,
and the extent of transformation under different environmental
conditions is wild speculation based on sparse examples, quantitative
provenance analysis will be more accurate and more precise than it would
be if dissolution and alteration were not explicitly accounted. There is
ample opportunity for the community to improve the procedure!

Published: August 2023

The magnetic susceptibility record of the Chinese Loess Plateau for the last 2.5 million years was subjected to Maximum Entropy Spectral Analysis. The portion 0 800 ka B.P. showed 95,000 years as the strongest peak, resembling the 98,000 year peak in the spectra of oxygen isotope series from deep-sea cores, and matching the eccen- tricity peak of Earth's rotation axis. The astronomical peaks 19,000 and 23,000 years related to Earth's precession and 41,000 years relater Earth's obliquity was also observed but weakly. For earlier periods (800 ka - 2400 ka B.P.), nine peaks were observed (including 41,000 and 100,000 years) but weakly.ANÁLISE ESPECTRAL DOS REGISTROS DE SUSCEPTIBILIDADE MAGNÉTICA DOS "LOESS" CHINESES Os registros de susceptibilidade magnética do Platô Chinês "Loess" nos últimos 2,5 milhões de anos foram sujeitos à Análise Espectral de Máxima Entropia. A porção 0-800 mil anos anteriores ao presente mostrou 95.000 anos como o mais intenso pico, aparecendo com um pico de 98.000 anos no espectro da série de isótopos de oxigênio apresentada nos sedimentos marinhos profundos, e coincidem com o pico na excentricidade do eixo de rotação da Terra. Os picos astronômicos em 19.000 e 23.000 anos relacionados à precessão da Terra e em 41.000 anos relacionados à obliquidade da terra foram observados, porém muito fracamente. Para períodos anteriores (800-2.400 mil anos anteriores ao presente), nove picos foram observados (incluindo 41.000 e 100.000 anos), porém fracamente.

Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the safety and efficacy of fully closed-loop with ultrarapid insulin lispro in adults with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control compared with insulin pump therapy with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
This single-center, randomized, crossover study enrolled 26 adults with type 1 diabetes using insulin pump therapy with suboptimal glycemic control (mean ± SD, age 41 ± 12 years, HbA1c 9.2 ± 1.1% [77 ± 12 mmol/mol]). Participants underwent two 8-week periods of unrestricted living to compare fully closed-loop with ultrarapid insulin lispro (CamAPS HX system) with insulin pump therapy with CGM in random order.

RESULTS
In an intention-to-treat analysis, the proportion of time glucose was in range (primary end point 3.9–10.0 mmol/L) was higher during closed-loop than during pump with CGM (mean ± SD 50.0 ± 9.6% vs. 36.2 ± 12.2%, mean difference 13.2 percentage points [95% CI 9.5, 16.9], P &lt; 0.001). Time with glucose &gt;10.0 mmol/L and mean glucose were lower during closed-loop than during pump with CGM (mean ± SD time &gt;10.0 mmol/L: 49.0 ± 9.9 vs. 62.9 ± 12.6%, mean difference −13.3 percentage points [95% CI −17.2, −9.5], P &lt; 0.001; mean ± SD glucose 10.7 ± 1.1 vs. 12.0 ± 1.6 mmol/L, mean difference −1.2 mmol/L [95% CI −1.8, −0.7], P &lt; 0.001). The proportion of time with glucose &lt;3.9 mmol/L was similar between periods (median [interquartile range (IQR)] closed-loop 0.88% [0.51–1.55] vs. pump with CGM 0.64% [0.28–1.10], P = 0.102). Total daily insulin requirements did not differ (median [IQR] closed-loop 51.9 units/day [35.7–91.2] vs. pump with CGM 50.7 units/day [34.0–70.0], P = 0.704). No severe hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis occurred.

CONCLUSIONS
Fully closed-loop insulin delivery with CamAPS HX improved glucose control compared with insulin pump therapy with CGM in adults with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control.

Cuatro "e" claves para la formación en musicoterapia
Authors: Alvarez Natalia 
Published: August 2023

En las clases prácticas de la Pasantía Observación y Práctica en Instituciones Área Emergentes de la UBA se observa la tendencia de los/as estudiantes a la planificación secuenciada de actividades y la consecuente dificultad para orientar la intervención desde una interpretación del emergente basada en objetivos. Se propone una red conceptual en la que la actitud crítica es considerada la premisa para la ética profesional. Para ello, el presente artículo retoma de un escrito previo la noción de emergente a fin de ubicarla en el contexto de la formación en musicoterapia y articularla con otras tres nociones claves para el desarrollo del perfil profesional: estrategia, estética y ética.
Corpos trans, biopoder e os (não) lugares
Authors: Fraga Lucimary Leiria , Lucas Doglas Cesar , Wermuth Maiquel Ângelo Dezordi 
Published: August 2023

Este artigo objetiva refletir acerca da existência Trans no espaço social, compreendendo que (e se) estes corpos são, diuturnamente, invisibilizados em nome de uma matriz cis heterossexual ainda vigente, a qual atravessa as singularidades divergentes, propagando e ressignificando ferramentas oriundas, também, do biopoder. Preliminarmente, atenta-se para a importância do entendimento de que, na atualidade, não há mais que se falar em mulher enquanto essência, eis que não existe uma ideia única acerca do que é “ser mulher”, pois cada indivíduo, por intermédio de seus corpos e discursos, (des) constrói-se no cotidiano constantemente. Busca-se, assim, responder à seguinte problemática: As práticas sociais (ainda) binárias e excludentes produzem (não) lugares destinados aos os corpos Trans? A metodologia adotada mescla análise e interpretação. O estudo justifica-se diante da urgente necessidade de se problematizar os mecanismos de poder que cotidianamente elencam quais corpos podem transitar em determinados espaços, produzindo, para além de uma hierarquização social, contextos de desigualdade. Por fim, atenta-se para a necessidade de se pensar e fomentar, a partir da discussão levantada, e da realidade de exclusão Trans evidenciada, alternativas de emancipação diante dos mecanismos de desprezo ao diferente, os quais violam diuturnamente estas vivências, e negam direitos a quem se reconhece como tal.

Authors: Zima J. , Nováková E. , Mikušová V. , Šupolíková M. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The subject of the research was the oleogel structure of the OraMAF oral suspension, containing a mixture of active substances in which the oleogel environment is formed by purified olive oil in combination with soy lecithin (SL) and sorbitan tristearate (STS). The objective of the research was the development of an optimal methodology for the work process, enabling microscopic observation of the structure of the oleogel suspension. Purified olive oil structured with a combination of gelators SL and STS with the addition of a solid phase of fucoidan (F) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) powders was used for the study as an alternative to OraMAF suspension. The sedimentation method of separation of the medium and staining of solid phases of the suspension brought the expected results, allowing the observation of the network structure of the gel, which consisted of interlaced gelator fibers assembling into star formations. The most interesting structures were clearly the star-like structures created from the star-shaped microtubules trapping the CS and F solid particles, colored blue.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
During the development of medicinal forms (eye drops), it is necessary to consider several parameters, so that the medicine is nonirritating to the eye and, at the same time, has the desired effect. We prepared eye drops containing dexamethasone or its water-soluble salt in a 0.1% concentration. We compared suspension eye drops (with dexamethasone) and solution eye drops (with dexamethasone sodium phosphate) without viscosity adjustment as well as with viscosity adjustment by adding chitosan low molecular weight (LMW) with the mass-produced product Unidexa 1%. Acidity (pH), surface tension, density, viscosity, and irritability were evaluated. An in vitro or ex vivo test on human erythrocytes (red blood cells [RBCs]) was used to test irritability. Hemolysis of RBC was monitored by determining hemoglobin spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 550 nm. The addition of chitosan 0.1% as a viscosity-increasing agent reduced the irritation potential of the experimental eye drops.
Assessing the Socio-Cultural Values of Kulla Stone House in the Cross-Border Region of Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro
Authors: Thaçi Kaltrina , Jerliu Florina 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to assess the socio-cultural values of kulla, a traditional Albanian stone house found in the cross-border region of Kosovo, Albania, and Montenegro. Despite being recognized for its historical and cultural significance in respective countries, kulla as a vernacular heritage has not been commonly assessed for its distinct regional heritage values. To address this gap, the study draws on existing literature and field investigations in three countries. The findings suggest that kullas have retained much of their authenticity, and that its most distinguished regional values are historical, social, and traditional values, as well as architectural one.
