subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: With robots becoming more complex and operating in un-modeled or human environments, there is a growing need for control methods that are scalable and robust, while still maintaining compliance for safety reasons. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is an optimal control method which has been proven robust to modeling error and disturbances, but it is difficult to implement for high degree of freedom (DoF) systems due to the large optimization problem at its core. While evolutionary algorithms have been proven effective for complex large scale problems, they have not been able to find solutions quickly enough for use with MPC. This work details the implementation of a parallelized evolutionary MPC (EMPC) which is able to be run in real-time through the use of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). This parallelization is accomplished by evaluating input trajectory fitnesses in parallel on the GPU. This framework is shown to have a more flexible cost function than traditional MPC and shows promise for finding solutions for high DoF systems.

description: Objective: Bystander CPR is an essential part of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival. EMS and public safety jurisdictions have embraced initiatives to teach compression-only CPR to laypersons in order to increase rates of bystander CPR. We examined barriers to bystander CPR amongst laypersons participating in community compression-only CPR training and the ability of the training to alleviate these barriers. The barriers analyzed include fear of litigation, risk of disease transmission, fear of hurting someone as a result of doing CPR when unnecessary, and fear of hurting someone as a result of doing CPR incorrectly. Methods: Laypersons attending community compression-only CPR training were administered surveys before and after community CPR training. Data were analyzed via standard statistical analyses. Results: A total of 238 surveys were collected and analyzed between September 2015 and January 2016. The most common reported motivation for attending CPR training was “to be prepared/just in case” followed by “infant or child at home.” Respondents reported that they were significantly more likely to perform CPR on a family member than a stranger in both pre-and post-training responses. Nevertheless, reported self-confidence in and likelihood of doing CPR on both family and strangers increased from pre-training to post-training. There was a statistically significant decrease in reported likelihood of all four barriers to prevent respondents from performing bystander CPR when pre-training responses were compared to post-training responses. Previous CPR training and history of having witnessed a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) were both associated with decreased barriers to CPR, but previous training had no effect on reported likelihood of or confidence in performing CPR. Conclusion: The training initiative studied significantly reduced the reported likelihood of all barriers studied to prevent respondents from performing bystander CPR and also increased the reported confidence in doing CPR and likelihood of doing CPR on both strangers and family. However, it did not alleviate the pre-training discrepancy between likelihood of performing CPR on strangers versus family. Previous CPR training or certification had no impact on likelihood of or confidence in performing CPR.

description: Methyl-, nitro- and N→oxide substituted triazolones are of interest in the contest of high-energy density compounds and have been found to have true local energy minima at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The optimised structures, harmonic frequencies and thermodynamic values for all the model molecules have been obtained in their ground state. The velocity of detonation (D) and detonation pressure (P) have been evaluated by the Kamlet–Jacob equations using the crystal density and the heat of explosion. The estimated performance properties are higher (D = 9.92–10.27 km/s, P = 48.10–52.52 GPa) compared with 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (D = 9.20 km/s, P = 42.0 Gpa). The higher densities are possibly due to the intramolecular hydrogen bonds and the layered structures in the crystal lattice. We speculate that the calculated heat of explosion and the density are for the gas phase compounds and in the reality they should be for the solid phase which would diminish the magnitude of the calculated values. The –N→O and –NO2 group leads to the desirable consequences of higher heat of explosion and diminished sensitivities. The substituting of N–H hydrogen atom(s) of triazolones for a –CH3 group decreases melting point, heat of formation and density; however, the methyl group increases the thermal stability.

description: The Awulale iron metallogenic belt (AIMB) hosts the majority of rich iron ores in Tianshan Orogen and has attracted much attention. However, a hot debate exists about the genesis of these iron deposits. Geochronological data are among the few critical evidences to solve the dispute. This study chooses the Beizhan iron deposit to carry out a geochronological research. The Beizhan magnetite deposit, with total iron ore reserves of 468 Mt at an average grade of 41% TFe, is the largest iron deposit in the AIMB. The orebodies of the Beizhan deposit are hosted in Carboniferous dacite and crystal tuff. Four stages of mineral formation can be recognized: an early skarn mineral stage, followed by the magnetite stage, the sulphide stage, and the carbonate stage in order. Pyrite separated from pyrite-rich ore samples yields an isochron age of 302.5 ± 8.2 Ma. Muscovite separated from muscovite-rich ore samples yields 40Ar/39Ar plateau ages of 304.7 ± 1.8 Ma, 304.5 ± 1.9 Ma, 308.1 ± 1.9 Ma, and 307.2 ± 1.8 Ma, and isochron ages of 306.1 ± 3.5Ma, 304.0 ± 3.0Ma, 308.2 ± 3.1Ma, and 308.7 ± 3.1Ma, respectively. These ages are consistent within the error range and are interpreted as the age of the Beizhan iron deposit. The results, combined with the other latest precise dating and geologically inferred ages, demonstrate that the iron deposits in the AIMB were formed in the Late Carboniferous. These iron deposits are considered to be iron skarn or medium–low -temperature hydrothermal origin and have genetic linkages between each other. They may be different mineralizing manifestations proximal to or distal from a pluton. The Late Carboniferous iron ores and the related magmatic rocks in the AIMB were produced when upwelling of the asthenosphere causes the partial melting of various sources and the formation of a narrow linear extension in the upper crust. The upwelling of the asthenosphere may be triggered by the detachment of an orogenic root zone.

description: Objective: Timely triage and appropriate destination decision making for injured patients are central challenges faced by emergency medical services (EMS) systems. In 2010, North Carolina (NC) adopted a statewide Trauma Triage and Destination Plan (TTDP) based on the CDC's Field Triage Guidelines to better address these challenges. We sought to characterize the implementation of these guidelines by quantifying their effect on multiple metrics of patient care. Methods: We employed a retrospective pre-post study design utilizing a statewide EMS medical record database. We assessed several metrics of patient care—including changes in destination choice, appropriateness of EMS destination, transit time to first hospital, transit time to definitive care, and others—in a six-month period in the year before and after the implementation of the guidelines. Results: We evaluated a total of 190,307 EMS encounters pre- (n = 93,927) and post-implementation (n = 96,380). Among all patients, there was not a significant difference in the percentage transported to a community hospital or Level I, II, or III trauma center as their first destination. Among those patients meeting TTDP guidelines for transport to a trauma center, the number transported to a Level I or II trauma center decreased 1.0% from 30.6% (n = 2,911) to 29.6% (n = 2,954) (95% CI: −0.2%, 2.2%). Those transported to a Level I trauma center decreased 0.4% from 21.2% to 20.8% in the post-period (95% CI: −0.7%, 1.5%). There were also no significant changes in EMS scene times (14.0 pre-, 14.1 post-) and transport times (12.9 pre-, 13.0 post-). While scene distance from a Level I trauma center showed a decreased likelihood of transport to that center, there was an overall post-implementation increase of 2.5% from 18.0% to 20.5% (95% CI: −3.6%, −1.3%) in transport to a Level I trauma center among patients meeting anatomic criteria across all distance ranges. Conclusions: We found that implementation of region-specific destination plans based on the Field Triage Guidelines had little effect on selected hospital destination, scene times, transport times, and other metrics of EMS decision making and effectiveness. We suspect this is due to delays in information dissemination and adoption by field providers.

Composed of a vast sea of islands and near shore environments, the culturally, biologically, and geologically diverse Pacific realm occupies a third of the planet and holds a crucial place in the Earth's history and resources. Pacific waters nurture two‐thirds of the world's marine biodiversity. The islands are rich in plants and animals, most of which occur nowhere else. Pacific ecosystems respond rapidly to ecological and anthropogenic changes, and have become centers for extinction and endangerment of species as well. Because the people and biota of the Pacific face enormous challenges from climate change and loss of diversity and in order to stimulate creative and urgent research and synthesize knowledge about Pacific biogeography, this conference is being convened. The conference covers the interface between Pacific biogeographic research and the fields of ecology, evolution, and conservation biology, and will highlight the contribution of indigenous knowledge to these subjects. The conference is organized as a series of individual symposia organized around the following questions:  What within‐lineage biogeographic patterns are found across the Pacific?  Are there common patterns of evolutionary diversification among lineages across the disparate island systems of the Pacific?  How do different plant and animal populations interact through time to form novel island ecosystems?  How have people influenced the terrestrial and near‐shore environments of Pacific islands?  How does knowledge of the evolution of Pacific Island biota contribute to the conservation of island (and continental) ecosystems?

description: This paper examines the technical and economic feasibilities of the sequential optimization technique, i.e., Taguchi coupled with principal component analysis (PCA). Fenton oxidation with four operating parameters, such as [Dye]ini, Dye/Fe+2 (wt/wt), H2O2/Fe+2 (wt/wt), and pH, was selected as a case study. COD (%), TOC (%), and color removal efficiency were chosen as responses. Total principal component index (TPCI) values, obtained as an output of sequential optimization, were used to determine the optimized conditions for Fenton oxidation. [Dye]: 100 mg/L, Dye/Fe+2(wt/wt): 50, H2O2/Fe+2(wt/wt): 25 and pH: 3 were obtained as the optimized values. In addition, ANOVA and the interaction of factors showed that pH was the most significant factor with the percent contribution of 90.86%. Economic evaluation with simultaneous comparison with Taguchi and central composite design (CCD) showed that Taguchi coupled with PCA is the most economic and time-efficient optimization technique. In this study, experimental cost was reduced to $54/m3, which showed 95% reduction relative to CCD. Moreover, chemical consumption and experimental time were also reduced by approximately 95–97% and 68%, respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that Taguchi coupled with PCA is the most cost-effective and less-laborious way of optimizing multi-response processes such as Fenton oxidation.

description: This study aimed at preparing and optimizing an activated carbon (OAC) obtained from dry okra wastes by chemical activation with zinc chloride. Also, Rhodamine B removal performance from aqueous solution was analyzed by using this optimized activated carbon. The characterization of the resultant activated carbon, with a high surface area of 1044 m2/g, was carried out using thermogravimetric analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller model, t-plot, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, density functional theory, elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and the point of zero charge. Furthermore, the effects of operating conditions (contact time, initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and pH) on Rhodamine B adsorption onto OAC were investigated. Langmuir model was determined to be the best adsorption process, and the maximum adsorption capacity was calculated to be 321.50 mg/g at 25°C. Also, the intraparticle diffusion and boundary layer diffusion were involved in RhB adsorption onto OAC. Moreover, OAC adsorption curves of Rhodamine B followed pseudo second-order model. At 25°C, Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy obtained from thermodynamic studies were determined to be −27.87 kJ/mol, 13.03 kJ/mol, and 0.15 kJ/mol K, respectively. These thermodynamic values revealed that Rhodamine B adsorption onto OAC was feasible, endothermic, physical, and spontaneous.

description: A refined exposure assessment was undertaken to calculate the estimated daily intake (EDI) of the seven FD&C straight-colour additives and five FD&C colour lakes (‘synthetic’ food colours) approved in the United States. The EDIs were calculated for the US population as a whole and specific age groups, including children aged 2–5 and 6–12 years, adolescents aged 13–18 years, and adults aged 19 or more y. Actual use data were collected from an industry survey of companies that are users of these colour additives in a variety of products, with additional input from food colour manufacturers. Food-consumption data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The assessment was further refined by adjusting the intake to more realistic scenarios based on the fraction of products containing colour within specific food categories using data provided by the Mintel International Group Ltd. The results of the analysis indicate that (1) the use levels reported by the industry are consistent with the concentrations measured analytically by the US Food and Drug Administration; and (2) exposure to food-colour additives in the United States by average and high-intake consumers is well below the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of each colour additive as published by the Joint WHO/FAO Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and allows wide margins of safety. It is concluded that food colour use as currently practised in the United States is safe and does not result in excessive exposure to the population, even at conservative ranges of food consumption and levels of use.

description: Context: Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists are the largest group of new psychoactive substances reported in the last decade; in this study we investigated how commonly these drugs are found in patients presenting to the Emergency Department with acute recreational drug toxicity. Methods: We conducted an observational cohort study enrolling consecutive adult patients presenting to an Emergency Department (ED) in London (UK) January–July 2015 (6 months) with acute recreational drug toxicity. Residual serum obtained from a serum sample taken as part of routine clinical care was analyzed using high-resolution accurate mass-spectrometry with liquid-chromatography (HRAM-LCMSMS). Minimum clinical data were obtained from ED medical records. Results: 18 (10%) of the 179 patient samples were positive for synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists. The most common was 5F AKB-48 (13 samples, concentration 50–7600 pg/ml), followed by 5F PB-22 (7, 30–400 pg/mL), MDMB-CHMICA (7, 80–8000 pg/mL), AB-CHMINACA (3, 50–1800 pg/mL), Cumyl 5F-PINACA (1, 800 pg/mL) and BB-22 (1, 60 pg/mL). Only 9/18 (50%) in whom synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists were detected self-reported synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist use. The most common clinical features were seizures and agitation, both recorded in four (22%) individuals. Fourteen patients (78%) were discharged from the ED, one of the four admitted to hospital was admitted to critical care. Conclusions: Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists were found in 10% of this cohort with acute recreational drug toxicity but self-reported in only half of these. This suggests that presentations to the ED with acute synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist toxicity may be more common than reported.

description: This study presents novel insights in the risk assessment of synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) in food. SAS is a nanostructured material consisting of aggregates and agglomerates of primary particles in the nanorange (<100 nm). Depending on the production process, SAS exists in four main forms, and each form comprises various types with different physicochemical characteristics. SAS is widely used in foods as additive E551. The novel insights from other studies relate to low gastrointestinal absorption of SAS that decreases with increasing dose, and the potential for accumulation in tissues with daily consumption. To accommodate these insights, we focused our risk assessment on internal exposure in the target organ (liver). Based on blood and tissue concentrations in time of two different SAS types that were orally and intravenously administered, a kinetic model is developed to estimate the silicon concentration in liver in (1) humans for average-to-worst-case dietary exposure at steady state and (2) rats and mice in key toxicity studies. The estimated liver concentration in humans is at a similar level as the measured or estimated liver concentrations in animal studies in which adverse effects were found. Hence, this assessment suggests that SAS in food may pose a health risk. Yet, for this risk assessment, we had to make assumptions and deal with several sources of uncertainty that make it difficult to draw firm conclusions. Recommendations to fill in the remaining data gaps are discussed. More insight in the health risk of SAS in food is warranted considering the wide applications and these findings.

The Nigerian Political and Economic Policy Landscape: An Inquiry into The Interplay of Poverty and Youth Restiveness
Creators: name: Adekoya, Samuel Olamide
Publisher: name: Rajpath Publisher
Year: 2024

description: This paper delves into the multifaceted interplay between poverty and youth restiveness within the Nigerian Political and Economic Policy Landscape. The historical context unravels the foundational elements that have sculpted the current landscape, essential for contextualising contemporary challenges. Economic policy dynamics then scrutinise strategies addressing poverty and their repercussions on youth restiveness. Simultaneously, the political landscape dissects the role of governance structures, revealing critical insights into policy implementation and political decisions. Synthesising these analyses through mixed-method research of historical, content analysis and phenomenological approaches to uncover the socio-economic implications and future prospects by illuminating the broader consequences of poverty-youth restiveness dynamics. In response to these findings, four strategic recommendations emerge. First, a recalibration of economic policies to prioritise inclusive growth, fostering equitable wealth distribution. Second, an emphasis on political accountability and transparency to enhance governance effectiveness. Third, targeted youth empowerment programmes to address systemic challenges contributing to restiveness. Finally, a re-evaluation of social safety nets to provide a more robust support system for vulnerable populations.  Implementing these measures promises a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future for Nigeria, also addressing the intricate nexus between poverty and youth restiveness.

description: A refined exposure assessment was undertaken to calculate the estimated daily intake (EDI) of the seven FD&C straight-colour additives and five FD&C colour lakes (‘synthetic’ food colours) approved in the United States. The EDIs were calculated for the US population as a whole and specific age groups, including children aged 2–5 and 6–12 years, adolescents aged 13–18 years, and adults aged 19 or more y. Actual use data were collected from an industry survey of companies that are users of these colour additives in a variety of products, with additional input from food colour manufacturers. Food-consumption data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The assessment was further refined by adjusting the intake to more realistic scenarios based on the fraction of products containing colour within specific food categories using data provided by the Mintel International Group Ltd. The results of the analysis indicate that (1) the use levels reported by the industry are consistent with the concentrations measured analytically by the US Food and Drug Administration; (2) exposure to food-colour additives in the United States by average and high-intake consumers is well below the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of each colour additive as published by the Joint WHO/FAO Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and allows wide margins of safety; and (3) for children to reach the intake assumed in the Southampton study, they would have to consume at least 30 times more foods and beverages daily than the high consumers (95%) and the foods would have to contain four different colours at maximum use levels, clearly an unrealistic scenario. It is concluded that food colour use as currently practised in the United States is safe and does not result in excessive exposure to the population, even at conservative ranges of food consumption and levels of use.

description: Using various chromatographic separations, six ergostane-type steroids, including one new compound sinubrassione (1), and two pregnene-type steroid glycosides, including one new compound sinubrassioside (7), were isolated from methanol extract of the Vietnamese soft coral Sinularia brassica. The structure elucidation was confirmed by spectroscopic methods including 1D, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS. The cytotoxic activities of all the isolated compounds against three human cancer cell lines were also evaluated using MTT-based colorimetric assays.

description: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of jasmonic acid added to the culture medium on composition of Lavandula angustifolia essential oils. The chemical composition was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass detector (GC/MS). The experiment was conducted with the use of MS medium supplemented with increasing concentration of JA (0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.5 mg∙dm−3). It was found that the analysed essential oils varied in terms of chemical composition depending on the content of JA in the medium. All obtained essential oils were characterised by a high content of σ-cadinene (17.06–29.64%), borneol (6.66–17.47%), caryophyllene oxide (8.30–14.01%), τ-cadinol (4.87–9.16%), beta-caryophyllene (3.54–6.57%), 1.8-cineole (1.94–5.87%), β-pinene (1.48–3.05%), geranyl acetate (0.56–2.14%) and myrtenal (0.65–2.14%).
