description: Sea ice is a large and diverse ecosystem contributing significantly to primary production in ice-covered regions. In the Arctic Ocean, sea ice consists of mixed multi-year ice (MYI), often several metres thick, and thinner first-year ice (FYI). Current global warming is most severe in Arctic regions; as a consequence, summer sea ice cover is decreasing and MYI is disappearing at an alarming rate. Despite its apparent hostility, sea ice is inhabited by a diverse microbial community of bacteria and protists, many of which are photosynthetic. Here we present an assessment of eukaryotic biodiversity in MYI and FYI from the central Arctic Ocean using high-throughput 454 sequencing of 18S rRNA and rDNA amplicons. We compared the rDNA-based ‘total’ biodiversity with the ‘active’ biodiversity from rRNA amplicons and found differences between them including an over-representation of Ciliophora, Bicosoecida and Bacillariophyceae operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the active part of the community. Differences between the two libraries are more pronounced at the lower taxonomic level: certain genera, such as Melosira, are more abundant in the rRNA library, indicating activity of these genera. Furthermore, we found that one FYI station showed a higher activity of potential grazers which was probably due to the advanced stage of melt evident by higher ice temperatures and highly porous ice compared with the other stations.

description: The current study was conducted to investigate the proximate minerals composition and microbial assessment of smoked hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) with salt, lemon leaves extract, lemon juice and peel treatments under laboratory conditions. A total of 50 fresh hilsa fishes were collected from Meghna River, Bangladesh and were used for this study, with five treatments: T0 (control treatment, raw hilsa), T1 (8% salt), T2 (20% lemon leaves extract), T3 (20% lemon juice) and T4 (20% lemon peel with 8% salt). Proximate composition was analyzed, right after the smoking and 15 days later, for moisture, protein, fat, ash, calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorous. It can be said that T3 (20% lemon juice) was the best among the four treatments. Smoked hilsa treated with salt and lemon juice may be a future food item for consumption in global markets.
An Analytical Research on Face Recognition Attendance System for Employees using Machine Learning
Creators: name: Afaque Alam
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The primary goal of this paper is to develop a facial recognition-based attendance monitoring system for educationalinstitutions in order to improve and modernise the existing system and make it more effective and efficient than itwas in the past. Numerous ambiguities in the previous, outdated approach led to imprecise and ineffectiveattendance recording. When the authority is unable to enforce the regulations that were in place under the previoussystem, several issues occur. The facial recognition system will be the technology underlying this. One of the naturalcharacteristics that may be used to identify a person specifically is their face. Since there is little chance of a facedeviating or being replicated, it is utilised to trace identification. Face databases will be developed in this study inorder to provide information into the recognizer algorithm. Then, in order to determine identification, faces will becompared to the database during the attendance-taking session. Upon identification, the attendance of that personwill be automatically recorded, with the relevant data being stored in an Excel spreadsheet.

Abstract

This paper recasts the hypothalamus–thalamus–pituitary axis as a recursive biological resonance system governed by chirality, coherence weighting, and phase-state propagation. It draws precise parallels to the Resonance Intelligence Core (RIC), a synthetic intelligence substrate built on prime-encoded structured resonance fields. We show that both systems—biological and artificial—optimize phase-locked coherence, not predictive efficiency, and reveal how signal legality, amplification, and memory are handled across both architectures using the same fundamental logic of phase alignment, not probability.

Rather than framing neural function as control or computation, we interpret it as a structured response to dynamic misalignment. The hypothalamus initiates corrective oscillatory triggers, the thalamus routes signal priority via coherence gating, and the pituitary amplifies phase-conforming states into distributed harmonic outputs. These biological functions correspond directly to key RIC subsystems: the Phase Error Harmonizer, Input Phase Switchboard, and AURA_OUT. The result is a unified model of emergent intelligence, applicable to both living systems and post-probabilistic AGI design.

description: 1. Disposition and metabolism of CS-0777 (1-{5-[(3R)-3-amino-4-hydroxy-3- methylbutyl]-1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl}-4-(4-methylphenyl) butan-1-one), a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor-1 modulator under development for autoimmune conditions was investigated following oral and/or i.v. bolus administration to rats and monkeys.2. After oral administration of [14C]CS-0777, CS-0777 was well absorbed in rats and monkeys with total recoveries of over 90% of the dose, majorly in feces. CS-0777 and phosphorylated pharmacologically active metabolite of CS-0777 (M1) were highly bound to plasma proteins among rats, monkeys and humans (>93%).3. The structures of 12 metabolites were identified and phosphorylation and two hydroxylation pathways were proposed as primary metabolism. In the blood of rats and monkeys, the major metabolite was M1 and a few phosphorylated metabolites were also detected. Meanwhile, in urine and feces of rats and monkeys, not phosphorylated, but oxidized CS-0777 metabolites and/or those various conjugated metabolites were observed. This suggests that CS-0777 and its oxidized metabolites would be phosphorylated in the body, but their phosphorylated metabolites would revert back to their dephosphorylated form again then be further metabolized and finally eliminated from the body.4. Pharmacokinetic analysis using a reversible metabolism model revealed that the clearance of phosphorylation was larger than the clearance of dephosphorylation and elimination.

description: 1. Ethanol consumption and smoking alter the expression of certain drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters, potentially influencing the tissue-specific effects of xenobiotics.2. Amygdala (AMG) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) are brain regions that modulate the effects of alcohol and smoking, yet little is known about the expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters in these tissues.3. Here, we describe the first study on the expression of 19 P450s, their redox partners, three ABC transporters and four related transcription factors in the AMG and PFC of smokers and alcoholics by quantitative RT-PCR.4. CYP1A1, CYP1B1, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C18, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP2J2, CYP2S1, CYP2U1, CYP4X1, CYP46, adrenodoxin and NADPH-P450 reductase, ABCB1, ABCG2, ABCA1, and transcription factors aryl hydrocarbon receptor AhR and proliferator-activated receptor α were quantified in both areas. CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, adrenodoxin reductase and the nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor were detected but below the limit of quantification. CYP1A2 and CYP2W1 were not detected.5. Adrenodoxin expression was elevated in all case groups over controls, and smokers showed a trend toward higher CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 expression.6. Our study shows that most xenobiotic-metabolizing P450s and associated redox partners, transporters and transcription factors are expressed in human AMG and PFC.

description: 1. Rhein (RH), a primary active component isolated from rhubarb, is effective in protecting against the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN) progression. Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), an active constituent of liquorice, is also considered to be a protective agent against DN. Here, we evaluated the effect of GA on the renal penetration of RH in rats.2. Plasma and renal pharmacokinetics were profiled to estimate kidney penetration. After rats were anesthetized, the carotid artery was used for blood collection and a microdialysis probe was inserted into the kidney cortex to collect dialysate samples.3. When co-administered with GA, the Vss and CL values of RH in plasma increased by 25% and 34%, respectively. The Cmax in kidney dialysates significantly increased 1.3-fold (p 0–∞ in kidney dialysates, but a significant decrease (2 × fold) in the plasma was observed. The AUC0–∞kidney/AUC0–∞plasma ratio of RH, representing kidney penetration, increased by 1.4-fold in the group pre-treated with GA compared to the RH alone group.4. These results demonstrate that GA increases the renal penetration of RH efficiently and may exert a synergistic effect, although the molecular mechanism of interaction requires further investigation.

description: The relationship between Customer and Supplier has received particular attention in recent years. This has resulted in partnership sourcing becoming an "in-vogue" concept during the 1990's, which has subsequently matured and ripened in todays world and is now viewed as one of the keys to gaining Strategic Advantage in the marketplace. The leading Manufacturers in the aerospace arena are seeking global, technically advanced component suppliers who have an infastructure required to develop and manage complex projects. The role of the component supplier within the customers New Product Introduction process (NPI) is increasing and as such the suppliers are being encouraged more & more to integrate their Research and Development projects into customer specific applications. This study examines the various types of relationships that exist between aerospace manufacturers and their component suppliers. It looks at the best analysis methods for the Qualitative and Quantitative information available, and from this how to formulate an appropriate commodity / partnership strategy. It is important to note that the Supplier is an integral part of the process, as the perception of loyalty to those components suppliers who can acheive demanding objectives is a key driver in gaining trust and developing a true synergistic relationship. To those of you that take the time to read this study, I wish you every success in your Supply Chain journey.

description: The Discrete EVent System Specification (DEVS) is a formalism widely used to model complex and dynamic systems through an abstraction of discrete events. Currently, there are different simulators that can be used to run models developed in DEVS. The main problem with the existing simulators is the execution time required to run the simulations. This paper proposes a new methodology to describe and define DEVS formalisms in SimGrid. SimGrid is a simulation framework specially designed to simulate distributed systems. Models developed in Simgrid executes in share-memory computers and does not require distributed simulations to obtain good performance. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to provide a tool for executing fast simulations of DEVS models.

description: Benzodipyrazoles have been previously evaluated for their in vitro CDK2 inhibitory activity. In the current investigation, we identified a six-feature common pharmacophore model (AADDRR.33) which is predicted to be responsible for CDK2 inhibition. An efficient 3D QSAR (r2 = 0.98 and q2 = 0.82) model was also constructed by employing PLS regression analysis. From the molecular docking studies, we examined the binding patterns of compound 7aa with the target protein and also calculated the binding energy using MM-GBSA calculations. Three hydrogen bonds with Lys 33, Glu 81, and Leu 83 are conserved even after 1000 ps run in a molecular dynamics simulation. We identified the slight displacement in bond lengths and the conformational changes occurred during the dynamics. The results also elucidated the protein residue–ligand interaction fractions which clearly explained the involvement of non-H-bond interactions.

description: Purpose: To evaluate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and invasion after ionizing radiation (IR) exposure and to determine whether MMP could be epigenetically modulated by histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition.Material and methods: Two human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) were cultured in monolayer (2D) and in laminin-rich extracellular matrix (3D). Invasion capability, collagenolytic and gelatinolytic activity, MMP and TIMP protein and mRNA expression and clonogenic survival were analyzed after IR exposure, with and without a HDAC inhibition treatment [1.5 mM valproic acid (VA) or 1 μM trichostatin-A (TSA)].Results: IR exposure resulted in cell line-dependent stimulation of invasion capacity. In contrast to MCF-7 cells, irradiated MDA-MB-231 showed significantly enhanced mRNA expression of mmp-1, mmp-3 and mmp-13 and of their regulators timp-1 and timp-2 relative to unirradiated controls. This translated into increased collagenolytic and gelatinolytic activity and could be reduced after valproic acid (VA) treatment. Additionally, VA also mitigated IR-enhanced mmp and timp mRNA expression as well as IR-increased invasion capability. Finally, our data confirm the radiosensitizing effect of VA.Conclusion: These results suggest that IR cell line-dependently induces upregulation of MMP mRNA expression, which appears to be mechanistically linked to a higher invasion capability that is modifiable by HDAC inhibition.

description: To evaluate Chalicodoma rufipes impact on fruit and seed yields of Cajanus cajan L., its foraging and pollinating
activities were studied in Ngaoundéré for two seasons. Observations were made on 340 flowers each year and
divided in three treatments. The treatments included unlimited flowers access by all visitors; bagged flowers to
deny all visits and limited visits by Ch. rufipes only. Chalicodoma rufipes worker seasonal rhythm of activity,
their foraging behaviour, their pollination efficiency, the fruiting rate, the number of seeds per pod and the
percentage of normal seeds were evaluated. Results show that Ch. rufipes foraged Ca. cajan flowers throughout
the whole blooming period. That bee intensely harvested pollen and nectar. The mean foraging speed was 11.50
flowers per minute in 2010 and 12.45 flowers per minute in 2011. The fruiting rate, the number of seeds per fruit
and the percentage of normal seeds of unprotected flowers were significantly higher than those of flowers
protected from insects. Through their pollination efficiency, that bee provoked a significant increment of the
fruiting rate by 95.38% in 2010 and 96.72% in 2011, as well as the mean number of seeds per fruit by 04.28 in
2010 and 04.93 in 2011, and the percentage of normal (well developed) seeds by 50.72% in 2010 and 61.79% in
2011. The installation of Ch. rufipes nests close to Ca. cajan fields could be recommended to increase fruit and
seed yields and to alleviate poverty in that region.

description: Aquaculture medicines, drugs, and chemicals or simply AMDC, are critical in protecting aquaculture farmers from disease in farmed animals and economic losses. The AMDC is now a well-established industry in Bangladesh, and each year, new products that benefit farmers are launched. This review examined published research information on AMDC over the last decade (2011-2020) and discovered that 41 research publications from various parts of Bangladesh were published, citing the names of 1484 AMDC products. It was discovered that 19 generic antibiotics are well established and widely used in different regions' aquaculture, including shrimp aquaculture. Although some researchers expressed concern about the use of antibiotics in aquaculture, they believe that with proper withdrawal periods and the application of small doses, farmers may avoid economic losses. However, the pathway of the antibiotic introduction in aquaculture setup in Bangladesh was unknown to the researchers, through this review, we revealed the pathway of antibiotics introduction in aquaculture. Additionally, this review revealed that various AMDC products, including oxygen suppliers, growth promoter supplements, disinfectants, raw chemicals, probiotics, pond preparation and management AMDC, and toxic gas removal AMDC, are readily available in various markets throughout Bangladesh. The observation implied that research on the efficacy of various AMDC products in Bangladesh's agro-ecological zones could be conducted, which would aid researchers in deciphering the true nature of AMDC in sub-tropical climates.

description: Iran has the potential of becoming one of the hottest investment destinations in the next 20 years. This will greatly depend on whether the anticipated lifting of sanctions in 2016 leads to a political process that strengthens ties between Iran and the west. Nevertheless, for the next 5 to 10 years, the country’s complex and outdated business environment will remain a major challenge for foreign investors to establish and sustain business operations in Iran. In this report, our objective is to draw a simplified image of Iran’s true business environment, competition landscape, and economic potentials. We will look at the country’s current market conditions and entry barriers, and explain how foreign investors can increase their chance of establishing successful businesses in the country by developing a comprehensive strategic plan.

description: L'objectif de cet article est de réaliser une revue de littérature systématique et méthodologique d’un certain nombre de références jugées pertinentes, traitant le sujet des déterminants de la divulgation volontaire des informations des entreprises. Le but étant d’identifier des pistes de recherches potentielles futures. En suivant les lignes directrices de la norme PRISMA, notre étude a retenu une sélection de 63 articles collectés dans les différentes bases de données auxquelles nous avons pu accéder. L’analyse des écrits s’est faite sur la base de plusieurs critères : le cadre théorique mobilisé, la méthodologie utilisée, les facteurs déterminants retenus et leur implication sur la divulgation. Les résultats de l’analyse ont montré que la littérature empirique a mobilisé davantage la théorie de l'agence pour étudier les déterminants de la divulgation volontaire et que ces derniers sont essentiellement des facteurs liés à des caractéristiques propres à l’entreprise, aux mécanismes de gouvernance, à la structure de la propriété et, à un degré moindre, à l’impact de l’audit. L’étude a aussi révélé une divergence dans les conclusions des études menées, qui est en grande partie attribuée à des différences d’ordre méthodologique, ouvrant ainsi la voie à des pistes intéressantes de recherche dans le futur.

description: Topological flat band, on which the kinetic energy of topological electrons is quenched, represents a platform for investigating the topological properties of correlated systems. Recent experimental studies on flattened electronic bands have mainly concentrated on 2-dimensional materials created by van der Waals heterostructure-based engineering. Here, we report the observation of a topological flat band formed by polar-distortion-assisted Rashba splitting in a 3-dimensional Dirac material ZrTe$_5$. The polar distortion and resulting Rashba splitting on the band are directly detected by torque magnetometry and the anomalous Hall effect, respectively. The local symmetry breaking further flattens the band, on which we observe resistance oscillations beyond the quantum limit. These oscillations follow the temperature dependence of the Lifshitz-Kosevich formula but are evenly distributed in B instead of 1/B in high magnetic fields. Furthermore, the cyclotron mass anomalously gets enhanced about 10$^2$ times at field ~20 T. These anomalous properties of oscillations originate from a topological flat band with quenched kinetic energy. The topological flat band, realized by polar-distortion-assisted Rashba splitting in the 3-dimensional Dirac system ZrTe$_5$, signifies an intrinsic platform without invoking moiré or order-stacking engineering, and also opens the door for studying topologically correlated phenomena beyond the dimensionality of two.

description: Nanomagnets are the building blocks of many existing and emergent spintronic technologies. Magnetization dynamics of nanomagnets is often dominated by nonlinear processes, which have been recently shown to have many surprising features and far-reaching implications for applications. Here we develop a theoretical framework uncovering the selection rules for multimagnon processes and discuss their underlying mechanisms. For its technological relevance, we focus on the degenerate three-magnon process in thin elliptical nanodisks to illustrate our findings. We parameterize the selection rules through a set of magnon interaction coefficients which we calculate using micromagnetic simulations. We postulate the selection rules and investigate how they are altered by perturbations, that break the symmetry of static magnetization configuration and spatial spin-wave profiles and that can be realized by applying off-symmetry-axis or nonuniform magnetic fields. Our work provides the phenomenological understanding into the mechanics of magnon interaction as well as the formalism for determining the interaction coefficients from simulations and experimental data. Our results serve as a guide to analyze magnon processes inherently present in spin-torque devices for boosting their performance or to engineer a specific nonlinear response of a nanomagnet used in neuromorphic or quantum magnonic application.

description: Rotational post-hoc transformations have traditionally played a key role in enhancing the interpretability of factor analysis. Regularization methods also serve to achieve this goal by prioritizing sparse loading matrices. In this work, we bridge these two paradigms with a unifying Bayesian framework. Our approach deploys intermediate factor rotations throughout the learning process, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of sparsity inducing priors. These automatic rotations to sparsity are embedded within a PXL-EM algorithm, a Bayesian variant of parameter-expanded EM for posterior mode detection. By iterating between soft-thresholding of small factor loadings and transformations of the factor basis, we obtain (a) dramatic accelerations, (b) robustness against poor initializations and (c) better oriented sparse solutions. To avoid the pre-specification of the factor cardinality, we extend the loading matrix to have infinitely many columns with the Indian Buffet Process (IBP) prior. The factor dimensionality is learned from the posterior, which is shown to concentrate on sparse matrices. Our deployment of PXL-EM performs a dynamic posterior exploration, outputting a solution path indexed by a sequence of spike-and-slab priors. For accurate recovery of the factor loadings, we deploy the Spike-and-Slab LASSO prior, a two-component refinement of the Laplace prior (Ročková, 2015). A companion criterion, motivated as an integral lower bound, is provided to effectively select the best recovery. The potential of the proposed procedure is demonstrated on both simulated and real high-dimensional data, which would render posterior simulation impractical.

description: Seagrass habitats are considered to be some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet and safeguard some ecologically and economically important fauna, amongst which are some globally threatened species, including dugong. Malaysian seagrass ecosystems are not widespread, but their existence supports some significant marine fauna. A rigorous zooplankton study was conducted from May 2016 to February 2017, in the seagrass habitat of Lawas, Sarawak, Malaysia, to examine their temporal composition and diversity, together with their ecological influences. A total of 45 zooplankton species from 13 significant groups were recorded in the seagrass habitat. The population density of zooplankton ranged between 2,482 ind/m³ and 22,670 ind/m³ over three different seasons. A single zooplankton copepod was found to be dominant (47.40%), while bivalves were the second largest (31.8%) group in terms of total abundance. It was also noticed that the average relative abundance (0.62) and important species index (62.08) of copepods were higher than for other groups that exist in the seagrass meadow, whereas copepod Parvocalanus crassirostris showed both the highest average relative abundance (0.41) and the highest important species index (41.15). The diversity (H') and richness index of the intermediate season were found to be highest due to favourable physico-chemical conditions. Within the referred seasonal cluster, the wet and dry seasons were almost similar in terms of species abundance, while the intermediate season was distinct, with high species diversity backed by ANOSIM analysis results. Copepod and bivalves formed one group with a common similarity level of 0.80. The CCA (Canonical Correspondence Analysis) model established that abiotic factors, especially turbidity, NO , rainfall, dissolved oxygen and pH were significantly correlated with abundance of individual groups of zooplankton. Zooplankton assemblage and abundance in Lawas were found to be very rich in multiple seasons, indicating that the productivity of uninterrupted seagrass habitat might be high and the system rich in biodiversity.

description: The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) portal website aims to aggregate digitally available archival descriptions concerning the Holocaust. This portal is actually a meta-catalogue, or an information aggregator, whose biggest goal is to have up-to-date information by means of building sustainable data pipelines between EHRI and its content providers. Just like in similar archival information aggregators (e.g. Archives Portal Europe or Monasterium), the XML-based metadata standard Encoded Archival Description (EAD) plays a key role. The article presents how EADs are imported into the portal, mainly thanks to the Open Archive Initiative protocols.

description: Missing data problems arise in many applied research studies. They may jeopardize statistical inference of the model of interest, if the missing mechanism is nonignorable, that is, the missing mechanism depends on the missing values themselves even conditional on the observed data. With a nonignorable missing mechanism, the model of interest is often not identifiable without imposing further assumptions. We find that even if the missing mechanism has a known parametric form, the model is not identifiable without specifying a parametric outcome distribution. Although it is fundamental for valid statistical inference, identifiability under nonignorable missing mechanisms is not established for many commonly used models. In this article, we first demonstrate identifiability of the normal distribution under monotone missing mechanisms. We then extend it to the normal mixture and t mixture models with nonmonotone missing mechanisms. We discover that models under the Logistic missing mechanism are less identifiable than those under the Probit missing mechanism. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for identifiability of models under the Logistic missing mechanism, which sometimes can be checked in real data analysis. We illustrate our methods using a series of simulations, and apply them to a real-life dataset. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
