High Speed Multi-Stage Drawing Process of Hot-Dip Galvanised Steel Wires
Authors: Suliga Maciej , Wartacz Radosław , Michalczyk Jacek 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The production of steel wires with zinc coatings is an important branch of the drawing industry, as it allows for steel products to be obtained, characterised by both high mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance. This paper presents unique tests into the production of galvanised steel wires in industrial conditions. The influence of the drawing parameters on the coat and properties, as well as residual stresses in steel wires, are discussed. It has been demonstrated that three phenomena occur during the wire-drawing process at high speeds: namely, zinc sticking to the surface of drawing drums, zinc coating grinding caused by a larger friction surface area between the tool and the material, combined with the detachment of the zinc coating in the calibrating part of the die until the wire breaks and the drawing process is interrupted. After drawing at high speeds (over 15 m/s), the wires are characterised by a thin coat and worse properties, as well as higher internal stresses.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the effects of online-supervised versus workplace corrective exercises on neck-shoulder pain (NSP), sick-leave, postural angles, workability, and electromyography (EMG) of interest muscles among the office workers with the upper crossed syndrome (UCS).
Methods
We performed a parallel-group randomized control trial at Shahid Beheshti University (SBU), Tehran, Iran. The office workers (n=36) were randomly assigned to online-supervised, workplace, and control groups (each: n= 12). The two intervention groups completed the exercise program for eight weeks, while the control group continued usual activities. Primary (NSP and sick-leave) and secondary outcomes (forward head posture, round shoulders, and round back angles), workability, EMG (upper, middle, lower trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, and serratus anterior) were measured using visual analog scale (VAS), questionnaire, photogrammetry, and EMG, respectively. All measurements were performed at the baseline and an 8-week follow-up.
Results
In both intervention groups, paired t-tests results demonstrated significant differences in NSP, forward head posture, round shoulders, and round back, respectively. In the online-supervised, workability (physical and mental) improved, and upper trapezius and serratus anterior differed in Max., Ave., activation, offset timing changed in the upper trapezius, respectively. Using ANCOVA, the online-supervised group revealed significant differences, including NSP, postural angles, physical and mental workability, and upper trapezius muscle activation. The sick-leave and other variables were not the cases in all groups.
Conclusion
Online-supervised corrective exercise seems to improve a range of parameters related to work performance. These findings are highly applicable in light of the ongoing COVID pandemic; many workers have to work from home.

Abstract
The neural orphan G protein coupled receptor GPR88 is predominant in the striatum and cortex of both rodents and humans, and considered a potential target for brain disorders. Previous studies have shown multiple behavioral phenotypes in Gpr88 knockout mice, and human genetic studies have reported association with psychosis. Here we tested the possibility that GPR88 contributes to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In the mouse, we tested Gpr88 knockout mice in three behavioral paradigms, best translatable between rodents and humans, and found higher motor impulsivity and reduced attention together with the reported hyperactivity. Atomoxetine, a typical ADHD drug, reduced impulsivity in mutant mice. Conditional Gpr88 knockout mice in either D1R-type or D2R-type medium spiny neurons revealed distinct implications of the two receptor populations in waiting and stopping impulsivity. Thus, animal data demonstrate that deficient GPR88 activity causally promotes ADHD-like behaviors, and identify circuit mechanisms underlying GPR88-regulated impulsivity. In humans, we performed a family-based genetic study including 567 nuclear families with DSM-IV diagnosis of ADHD. There was a minor association for SNP rs2036212 with diagnosis, treatment response and cognition. A stronger association was found for SNP rs2809817 upon patient stratification, suggesting that the T allele is a risk factor when prenatal stress is involved. Human data therefore identify GPR88 variants associated with the disease, and highlight a potential role of life trajectories to modulate GPR88 function. Overall, animal and human data concur to suggest that GPR88 signaling should be considered a key factor for diagnostic and treatment of ADHD.

Abstract
Aging coincides with major changes in brain immunity that aid in a decline in neuronal function. Here, we postulate that systemic, pro-aging factors contribute to immunological changes that occur within the brain during aging. To investigate this hypothesis, we first characterized the immune landscape upon aging in 20-month-old mice using cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) and observed that memory T cells expanded in the circulation and that specifically effector CD8+ T cells expressing programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells accumulated in the aged brain. Injections of plasma derived from 20-month-old mice into 5-month-old receiving mice decreased the frequency of splenic and circulating naïve T cells, increased memory CD8+ T cells and non-classical, patrolling monocytes in the spleen, and elevated levels of regulatory T cells and non-classical monocytes in the blood. Finally, we found an accumulation of CD8+ T cells within the brain parenchyma of plasma-treated mice, which coincided with expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), a mediator of immune cell trafficking, on the brain vasculature and increased numbers of proliferating microglia. Taken together, our data highlight a role for CD8+ T cells in the aged brain and suggests involvement of age-associated systemic factors that mediate CD8+ T cell migration and expansion in the brain parenchyma.

Abstract
This study investigated the prevalence of haemoparasites and polyparasitism of intestinal helminths amongst cattle slaughtered in two major abattoirs of Abeokuta metropolis and their implications for One Health. Blood and faecal samples were collected from 256 cattle of less than 2 and greater than 2 years of age. Blood samples were screened for PCV using haematocrit centrifuge technique and parasites were detected by microscopy using wet mount, buffy coat and stained thin smear. Helminth eggs and oocysts were detected using centrifugal sedimentation and centrifugal faecal flotation method. Results showed prevalence for Trypanosoma spp., Babesia spp., Anaplasma spp. and Theileria spp. to be 8.3%, 27.34%, 20.7% and 0.39% respectively. For intestinal parasites, prevalence for Strongyle eggs was found to be 73.82%, Neoascaris vitulorum 0.8%, Fasciola spp. 10.15%, Moniezia spp. 4.3%, Eimeria oocyst 35.94% and Cryptosporidium oocyst was 1.17%. Total prevalence for coinfection of haemoparasite and intestinal helminths was 42.6%. Breed-specific prevalence for co-infection of haemoparasites and intestinal parasites showed 55.96%, 37.6% and 6.4% for White Fulani, Red Bororo and Sokoto Gudali respectively, which was statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). With respect to sex, females had higher prevalence 92 (84.4%) of coinfection of haemoparasites and intestinal helminths than males 17 (15.6%), which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). This study revealed a high prevalence of haemoparasites and intestinal parasites in cattle slaughtered in Abeokuta, Nigeria. The presence of Fasciola at the Lafenwa abattoir which is the major market for beef sourcing in Abeokuta shows that the public is at risk of potential outbreak of fascioliasis. With a clear understanding of the epidemiology of fascioliasis, this study therefore recommends strict compliance of meat inspection at abattoirs and the need for immediate operationalization and implementation of a sustainable Preventive One Health intervention in order to mitigate against potential outbreak in Abeokuta.

Abstract
Improved management of agricultural soils plays a critical role in mitigating climate change and achieving the Agricultural Sustainable Development Goals.. We studied the temporal effects of the adoption of no-tillage (NT) management, often touted as an important carbon sequestration strategy, on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in surface and subsurface soil layers by performing a meta-analysis of 1061 pairs of published experimental data comparing NT and conventional tillage (CT). In the early years of adoption, NT increased surface (0-10 cm) SOC storage compared to CT but reduced it in deeper layers leading to a decrease of SOC in the entire soil profile. These NT-driven SOC losses diminished over time and the net change was approaching zero at 14 years. Our findings demonstrate that NT is not a “silver bullet” for drawing down atmospheric CO2 and regenerating the lost SOC in cropping soils globally and highlight the importance of long-term NT for the recovery of initial SOC losses.

Authors: Hoggart Clive , Choi Shing , Preuss Michael , O’Reilly Paul 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) are mostly derived using European ancestry genomewide association study (GWAS) data, resulting in substantially lower predictive power in non-European samples. We present BridgePRS, a novel Bayesian PRS method that leverages trans-ancestry GWAS data and compare its performance with PRS-CSx across 19 UK Biobank (UKB) traits in African and South Asian ancestry individuals. Validation in the UKB and the independent Mount Sinai Biome Biobank demonstrates superior performance of BridgePRS.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Stainless steels have gained much attention to be one of the most widely used metallic due to their high mechanical properties, corrosion resistance in moderately corrosive environments and their ability to use in biomedical devices, food industry and implants in human body. However, owing to their low thermal conductivity and high ductility, these materials are classed as materials difficult to machine. Therefore, the object of this experimental study is to investigate the effect of cutting parameters such as cutting speed (Vc), feed rate (f) and depth of cut (ap) on the machining outputs including surface roughness (Ra), cutting temperature (TC) and tool flank wear (VB) during dry turning of AISI 316L using coated carbide insert TP2501. The experiments were conducted according to Taguchi L27 orthogonal array parameter design, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) have been used. Statistical analysis revealed that the feed rate affected for surface roughness, depth of cut the dominant factor impacted for cutting temperature, and tool flank wear mainly influenced by Vc, f and ap, respectively. The prediction results obtained by ANN and RSM models showed a good agreement with experimental data. However, ANN models proved the capability to provide more accurate results compared to RSM models. According to optimization analysis based on desirability function (DF) and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA II), DF results were determined to acquire high machined part quality.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
A new Schiff base ligand N2-((5-methylthiophen-2-yl) methylene) pyridine-2,6-diamine (L) was prepared by condensation of 5-Methyl-2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and 2,6-diaminopyridine in ethanol in a molar ratio 1:1. The ligand and its complexes were characterized based on elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, IR, MS, 1H NMR, solid reflectance, and thermal analysis (TG and DTG) techniques. The complexes were found to have the formulas [CoL(H2O) Cl2].H2O and [NiL(H2O)Cl2].2H2O. From FTIR spectral data, the coordination between the ligand L to the central metal ion was through its nitrogen of pyridyl and azomethine and sulfur of 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde. The metal complexes were found to be nonelectrolyte. Octahedral geometries of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes were investigated from electronic and magnetic data. The kinetic analysis of the thermogravimetric data was performed by using the Coats-Redfern equation. The fluorescence properties of the ligand and its complexes in DMF were studied. The values of optical band gap energy (Eg) of the synthesized complexes suggested that these compounds could be used as semiconductors. The adsorption of Co2+ and Ni2+ in aqueous solutions on ligand under various conditions was studied. The maximum adsorption percentage of Co(II) and Ni(II) were found to be 68% and 65%, respectively. The Molecular docking studies were executed to consider the nature of binding and binding affinity of the synthesized compounds with the receptor of Bacillus subtilis (gram +ve bacteria) and Escherichia coli (gram –ve bacteria) (PDB ID: 1fj4). The ligand and its complexes were tested as antimicrobial agents.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the moderating effect of sense of coherence (SOC) on the relationship between social capital and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among schoolchildren.Methods: A cohort study was conducted in the city of Santa Maria, Brazil, involving children aged 1-5 years at baseline who were reassessed after 10 years in adolescence (11-15 years-old). Social capital was assessed at baseline and follow-up through social networks and social trust. Sense of coherence scale (SOC-13) and the short form of the Child Perceptions Questionnaire 11-14 (CPQ11-14) were measured at 10-years follow-up. Demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and dental caries were also evaluated. Moderating effect of SOC on the relationship between social capital and OHRQoL was tested using multilevel adjusted Poisson regression analysis and simple slope test.Results: From the 639 subjects assessed at baseline, 429 were reassessed at follow-up (cohort retention rate 67.1%). Moderate and high levels of SOC demonstrated a moderating effect on the relationship between social capital and OHRQoL. Among individuals who presented low social capital at baseline and follow-up, those who had high SOC reported, respectively, an impact 64% and 70% lower on OHRQoL when compared to those with low SOC. The greatest margin effect was observed in individuals with low social capital and low SOC at follow-up (24.25; p<0.05).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that SOC moderates the negative impact of low social capital on poor OHRQoL in schoolchildren.
WITHDRAWN: Non-Uniform Diffraction Pattern of Grating Experiments---Rotating Grating Around Three Axes (3)
Authors: peng hui 
Published: January 2022

Abstract

The orientation-dependence of the interference/diffraction patterns of the 1D-double slit, 2D-cross-double slit, 1D-grating and 2D-cross-grating experiments have been studied experimentally and theoretically. The universal phenomena of the curved, expanded, inclined and mirror-symmetric pattens were reported. However, the above experiments were limited to certain orientations, namely rotating the diaphragm/grating around either one axis or two axes. We show that, for certain orientations by rotating the grating around 3 axes, the spacings between adjacent diffraction orders are non-uniform. From the “starting order” to the “ending order”, the spacings between adjacent diffraction orders gradually increase. This extraordinary phenomenon challenges the existing theories.The above observed phenomena provide the comprehensive information to theoretical study of the double slit/grating experiments. We suggest that the complete mathematical model should contain three rotation angles as parameters and should be able to describe the phenomena of the non-uniform-spacing, curved, expanded, inclined and mirror-symmetric patterns consistently.

Performance Analysis of a Decode-and-forward based Mixed RF-FSO-VLC System
Authors: Deka Rima , Anees Sanya 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
In this paper, the performance analysis of a cooperative radio frequency-free space optical communication-visible-light-communication (RF- FSO - VLC ) system using decode-and-forward ( DF ) relays is presented. In the proposed model, the RF link acts as the core network, the FSO link is used for providing last mile connectivity for the indoor cell users communicating through VLC environment. The RF link is characterized by Nakagami - $m$ -distributed fading, while the FSO link undergoes Double Generalized Gamma ( DGG ) distributed atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors and the VLC link is characterized by the Lambertian pattern of the LED. The closed-form expressions of the statistical characteristics of signal-to-noise-ratio ( SNR ) of the DF based triple-hop system are evaluated using which various performance metrics, i.e, outage probability, bit error rate ( BER ), and capacity of the considered system are obtained. The numerical results show that the system's performance gets severely affected by the RF fading, atmospheric turbulence, and pointing errors. The outage performance of the system decreases as field-of-view ( FOV ) and the height of the light-emitting-diode (LED) increase. It is also seen from the results that the BER performance of the system is better in case of heterodyne detection as compared to direct-detection. It is also observed that the capacity of the system decreases when the effect of atmospheric turbulence and pointing error is high and it increases when the no. of LEDs increases.
