Authors: Wang Zhenhua , Liu Yuanming , Wang Tao , Gong Dianyao , Zhang Dianhua 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The accurate prediction of strip crown is the precondition of the shape pre-set model in hot strip rolling. In this study, a new data-driven model of strip crown based on extreme learning machine (ELM) optimized by S-curve decreasing inertia weight PSO (SDWPSO) algorithm and industrial data is proposed. In order to simplify the model structure and save modeling time, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimension of the input data for modeling samples. The comprehensive performance of the proposed hybrid PCA-SDWPSO-ELM prediction model is evaluated by several error indexes. The superiority of the proposed model is also proved by comparing the prediction results with other three comparison models. The research shows that the hybrid PCA-SDWPSO-ELM method can solve the problem of nonlinear and strong coupling in the traditional engineering. It is suitable for the parameters prediction and optimization of the iron and steel manufacturing industry, especially in the process of shape control in hot strip rolling.
A comparative study of the time of concentration methods for designing urban drainage infrastructure
Authors: Mehta Osheen , Kansal Mitthan Lal , Bisht Deepak Singh 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The time of concentration (ToC) is an important parameter in rainfall−runoff simulation for designing and evaluating an urban drainage system (UDS). There are several lumped and distributed methods available in the literature for estimating the ToC. However, these methods lead to significantly varied values. Therefore, it is imperative to choose an appropriate and best-suited method for estimating the ToC. This study analyses eight lumped approach-based and two distributed approach-based methods for estimating the ToC in an urban area of Gurugram, a satellite city in the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi in India. Considering the ToC obtained by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) method as the ‘true’ value, the Carter method among lumped methods and the SWDM method between the distributed methods results in ToC values in agreement with the NRCS method. Furthermore, to study the impact of the underestimation or overestimation of ToC on drainage, the system is evaluated in terms of variation in flood volume, duration, peak discharge, and the time to peak for different ToC values. The simulations were carried out by setting the model in SWMM, and it was found that flood volume increases by 4.25 times and the duration increases by 7.25 times if the ToC is increased from 0.1 to 6.14 h. The results infer that ToC estimation methods significantly impact the design and performance of an urban drainage infrastructure.

Published: September 2022

Background:
Cancer is associated with metabolic changes from increased cell proliferation and growth.
Compared to normal differentiated cells, MM cells use the glycolytic pathway even when adequate oxygen is present
triggering “Glutamine addiction”.

Objective:
To investigate the single and combined effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and telaglenastat, a
glutaminase inhibitor, on the proliferation and apoptosis of the multiple myeloma cell line KM3/BTZ.

Methods:
KM3/BTZ cells were treated with different concentrations of telaglenastat and EGCG alone or in combination
to investigate their effect on proliferation and apoptosis using the CCK8 assay, flow cytometry, and western blotting.
The Chou-Talalay combination index analysis was used to explore the effect of telaglenastat combined with
EGCG, while the Combination Index (CI) was calculated to analyze whether the combination of the two drugs had a
synergistic effect.

Results:
Telaglenastat and EGCG alone as well as in combination (5 μmol/L telaglenastat + 120 μmol/L EGCG) significantly
inhibited the proliferation of KM3/BTZ cells compared to the inhibition effect of the control. Additionally,
the combined treatment increased the proportion of KM3/BTZ cells in the G2 phase and decreased the proportion of
cells in the G1 phase. The apoptosis rate of EGCG alone and the combined treatment was significantly higher than that
of the control group. Bax protein expression was highest in the combined treatment group, whereas Bcl-2 expression
was lowest, with the combined treatment group having the highest ratio of Bax/Bcl-2.

Conclusion:
Telaglenastat and EGCG act synergistically to inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis in
KM3/BTZ cells, possibly by targeting glutamine metabolism and glycolysis.

Authors: Arora Prachi , Muehrcke Maria , Russell Molly , Jayasekare Rasitha 
Published: September 2022

Aim:To evaluate the association of comparative effectiveness research with Medicare coverage of direct oral anticoagulants.Materials & methods:A literature review for direct oral anticoagulants was conducted from 2011 to 2017. Monthly prescription drug plan and formulary files (n = 28) were used to conduct change-point analysis and assess each outcome variable.Results:Up to 2013, studies showed that dabigatran was more effective than rivaroxaban. In 2015, apixaban was shown to be the safest and most effective drug in comparison with all direct oral anticoagulants. In 2016–2017, dabigatran and apixaban were shown to have similar efficacy. Approximately 75% of plans covered dabigatran under tier 3 until 2015. From 2011 to 2017, less than 30% of plans required prior authorizations, 50% imposed quantity limits and mean copayment was lowest for rivaroxaban.Conclusion:Consistent with comparative effectiveness research, Medicare plans covered apixaban more favorably and edoxaban less favorably. However, discrepancies in comparative effectiveness research translation were found for rivaroxaban and dabigatran.

Getting Students Ready for Accounting Spreadsheets: Training for Basic Spreadsheet Skills with Pre/Post Assessments
Authors: Borthick A. Faye , Schneider Gary P. 
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT
This case is intended to impart basic spreadsheet skills to students that do not have them. It trains them to transform data, create formulas (with functions, IF statements, and absolute references), aggregate data, look up values, configure pivot tables, sort data, record macros, and extract spreadsheet tasks from conversation. These skills are needed for subsequent spreadsheet analyses for solving business problems. Suitable for students that can copy cells and develop simple formulas, the case offers pre- and post-assessment questions. The case provides scaffolding resources: flashcards for Excel features, a work plan template, a narrated video for getting started with the work plan, and guidance (scripts with screenshots and narrated videos) for performing the spreadsheet tasks. Using the context of a gradebook application, which is familiar to students, the case minimizes the cognitive load students experience because they are not trying to learn accounting and spreadsheet skills simultaneously.
Casual Accounting Academics' Sense of Dignity and Inclusion in the Workplace
Authors: Khosa Amrinder , Burch Steven , Ozdil Esin 
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT
The delivery of accounting higher education in Australia has been heavily dependent on casual academic staff in light of increased enrolments of national and international students. Although research to date has emphasized the demanding aspects of casual teaching and the need for improvements to the working conditions of casual academics, little is known about casual academics lived experiences and the way they develop ethical understanding of their day-to-day working conditions. We provide in-depth empirical evidence about casual accounting academics employment experiences in Australian universities and highlight the factors that support and/or inhibit casual academics' sense of inclusion and dignity in the workplace. Using “workplace dignity” as our theoretical framework, we find that the stage of the casual academics' career and their aspirations for academia impact their views and experiences of dignity and inclusion in the workplace.

Learning about the awa: My reflective journey of admission into a doctoral programme at Auckland University of Technology
Authors: Abraham Hazel 
Published: September 2022

Supporting new Māori doctoral students on their academic journey as they begin requires them to adapt quickly and steadily to the universities structures and systems. Contemplating and thinking to take on doctoral studies entails a huge mind shift from worker to student, and also has to be taking onboard with your whānau (extended family) and the greater hapori (community). To successfully navigate the awa (river) involves meeting minimum entry requirements of a doctoral programme and then submitting a PGR2 proposal on a topic which you will be acquainted with. This paper aims to explore the awa, a metaphorical analogy of navigating and engaging in higher education as a mature student[1] based on their lived experiences as a Māori doctoral student when entering into a doctoral programme at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and the details of their keys to success, and preparation needed to successfully complete the PGR2 pathway.

[1] Mature students can be considered to have careers, family commitments, significant life experiences, and are likely to hold down long-term debt like a mortgage (Howard & Davies, 2013). They tend to be over the age of 25 years old (Boston, 2017).
