Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Purpose The aim of this study is to visualize the effect of a high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in patients with the diagnosis of COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (C-ARDS) followed up in intensive care unit (ICU) with the use of electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Methods Two different flow rates oxygen therapy in supine and prone positions were applied to the patients with HFNC. Patients’ EIT-based parameters (global inhomogeneity index (GI index), Center of Ventilation (CoV), Regional Ventilation Delay index (RVD index), Region of Interest Ratio (ROI ratio)), respiratory and hemodynamic parameters were recorded from the database. Results Twenty patients were included in this retrospective observational study.When the flow rate gradually increased from baseline to 50 L/min and prone position; a significant and consistent descreasing trend of GI index: 0,55±0,02 (p < 0.0001), CoV: 42,98±0,93 (p <0.0001), RVD index: 3,38±1,13 (p = 0.006), ROI ratio:1,39±0,16 (p <0.0001), respiartory rate: 21,3±3,57 (p < 0.0001), mean arterial pressure: 81,5±10,95 (p=0.004) and inreasing PaO 2 /FiO 2. ratio (partial arterial oxygen pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen): 203,1±33,44 ((p < 0.0001) were observed. Conclusion It was found that lung homogeneity in following C-ARDS patients in the prone position increases according to the evaluation of EIT parameters, respiratory and hemodynamic parameters.
A Database Schema for the Analysis of Global Dynamics of Multiparameter Systems

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

A generally applicable, automatic method for the e cient computation of a database \nof global dynamics of a multiparameter dynamical system is introduced. An outer approximation \nof the dynamics for each subset of the parameter range is computed using rigorous numerical meth- \nods and is represented by means of a directed graph. The dynamics is then decomposed into the \nrecurrent and gradient-like parts by fast combinatorial algorithms and is classi ed via Morse decom- \npositions. These Morse decompositions are compared at adjacent parameter sets via continuation \nto detect possible changes in the dynamics. The Conley index is used to study the structure of \nisolated invariant sets associated with the computed Morse decompositions and to detect the ex- \nistence of certain types of dynamics. The power of the developed method is illustrated with an \napplication to the two-dimensional, density-dependent, Leslie population model. An interactive vi- \nsualization of the results of computations discussed in the paper can be accessed at the website \nhttp://chomp.rutgers.edu/database/, and the source code of the software used to obtain these \nresults has also been made freely available

Thread contracts for safe parallelism

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We build a framework of thread contracts, called Accord, that allows programmers to annotate their concurrency co-ordination strategies. Accord annotations allow programmers to declaratively specify the parts of memory that a thread may read or write into, and the locks that protect them, reflecting the concurrency co-ordination among threads and the reason why the program is free of data-races. We provide automatic tools to check if the concurrency co-ordination strategy ensures race-freedom, using constraint-solvers (SMT solvers). Hence programmers using Accord can both formally state and prove their co-ordination strategies ensure race freedom. The programmer's implementation of the co-ordination strategy may however be correct or incorrect. We show how the formal Accord contracts allow us to automatically insert runtime assertions that serve to check, during testing, whether the implementation conforms to the contract. Using a large class of data-parallel programs that share memory in intricate ways, we show that natural and simple contracts suffice to document the co-ordination strategy amongst threads, and that the task of showing that the strategy ensures race-freedom can be handled efficiently and automatically by an existing SMT solver (Z3). While co-ordination strategies can be proved race-free in our framework, failure to prove the co-ordination strategy race-free, accompanied by counter-examples produced by the solver, indicates the presence of races. Using such counterexamples, we report hitherto undiscovered data-races that we found in the long-tested applu_l benchmark in the Spec OMP2001 suite.
Is competition an interaction as relevant as predation for tropical planktonic cladocerans?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Aim To test the relevance of competition and predation for the two most abundant and frequent cladoceran populations, the medium-sized Ceriodaphnia richardi Sars, 1901 and the large-sized Daphnia gessneri Herbst, 1967, in a tropical shallow lake. Methods Laboratory experiments and weekly samplings in the lake for a year were performed to evaluate: density fluctuations and reproduction; predation on juveniles and adults by larvae of Chaoborus brasiliensis Theobald, 1901; competitive interactions and possible implications of competition and predation on the fluctuations of populations in the lake. Juveniles and adults of both cladocerans were offered to larvae instar IV of chaoborid, for testing selective predation in laboratory experiment. Competitive interaction between the two cladocerans was tested in experiments, with high (0.70 mg C.L-1) and low (0.25 mg C.L-1) concentrations of the edible chlorophycean Desmodesmus spinosus Chodat. Results C. richardi and D. gessneri were more abundant in the cool season, when their densities were inversely correlated, and when invertebrate predators, C. brasiliensis and the water mite Krendowskia sp., were less abundant. Despite higher concentrations of food and larger number of offsprings produced by the cladocerans in the warm season in the lake, their densities were lower, coincident with the increase of invertebrate predators, mainly chaoborid larvae. C. brasiliensis preyed on adult C. richardi and on young D. gessneri. In the competition experiments, the densities and the population growth rates of C. richardi were higher than those of D. gessneri. The competition results support the “small body size” and the “rmax” hypotheses. The exclusion of D. gessneri by C. richardi occurred only in experimental conditions, while they coexist in the lake, but without reaching their carrying capacity. Conclusions Predation is the key factor influencing the populations of cladocerans, whereas competition seems to play a secondary role, probably restricted to some periods of lower food concentration in the cool season.

✓ The case is reported of a 69-year-old woman with an 18-mm unruptured aneurysm of the right middle cerebral artery which caused a moderate stroke. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a clot inside the aneurysm that was not visible on computerized tomography scans. The danger of embolism from the clot prompted clipping of the aneurysm.
The Relationship of Histamine Content in European Pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) with Freshness, Temperature, and Storage Duration

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Histamine food poisoning, stemming from the consumption of certain histamine-rich fish species, such as tuna, mackerel, European pilchards, and herring, is one of the major public health issues worldwide. The present study aimed to evaluate the histamine content in fresh European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum, 1792) of Mehdia, a coastal city in the north of Morocco. Three randomly selected batches of fresh European pilchards, each weighing 20kg, were obtained from different boats upon landing. The evolution of histamine production was monitored every 8 hours for 6 days, with one batch stored at 0°C and the other at 10°C. The organoleptic characteristics were examined considering sensory evaluation according to the rating system of European Council Regulation No. 2406/96 as common marketing standards for certain fishery products and the quality index method (QIM). The histamine content in European pilchard flesh was determined using the fluorometric method. The results indicated that the average histamine content did not exceed 5 ppm during storage at 0°C. The freshness ratings were highest during the first 3 days, corresponding to QIM values of 0 to 10 at 0°C. On days 4 and 5, the freshness ratings were on quality A, corresponding to QIM values of 11 and 12, and on the last day, they were on quality B, corresponding to a QIM value of 15 with preservation of the organoleptic quality. Statistically, a significant correlation was found between the European pilchard’s freshness and the storage duration. In contrast, this correlation between the histamine content and the storage duration was insignificant. At 10°C, the average histamine content exceeded the regulatory limit in force (100 ppm) after 32 hours of storage, and spoilage occurred on day 3. Statistical analysis revealed a strong correlation between the histamine content, storage temperature, the degree of freshness, and the duration of storage. The extra freshness quality index of European pilchard guarantees a very large margin of safety regarding histamine and can be consumed without risk.

Automatic Classification and Feature Extraction of Bar Charts in Scanned Documents

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

With the introduction of high resolution cameras in mobile devices, users frequently scan document images using such devices. The presence of charts in such scanned documents are very common. Due to perceptual advantages, charts are used to represent meaningful information. Depending on the context, different chart representations are used. This paper presents a deep learning based technique for automatic classification of charts in scanned documents followed by their reconstruction using vector representation. In this paper, we presented a study of different convolution neural networks for chart classification. Based on the study, EfficientNet has been used that uniformly scales all dimensions of network depth, width and resolution using a compound coefficient for better performance. Once a chart is classified, dedicated image gradient based algorithms are used to extract chart cell, slice or bar information and these information is used for vector based reconstruction the charts. The algorithm has been applied on a number of scanned documents with charts in it. We have achieved a chart image classification accuracy of 91 % across six chart categories. Experimental results show the efficacy of the algorithm proposed.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This completely rewritten and updated book is directed to all radiologists and to radiology residents. Perhaps for this reason, the book does not attempt to provide detailed information on the newer modalities of cardiac imaging. Rather, it deals mainly with roentgenography and cineangiography and only briefly with echocardiography and nuclear scans, although the discussions of the latter are good. The first seven of the 26 chapters are devoted to the roentgenographic appearance of the acquired and congenital heart diseases. The remaining 19 chapters discuss in detail the pathology of acquired and congenital diseases of the heart and aorta, diseases of the pulmonary vascular system, effects of systemic disease on the heart, cardiac pacemakers, and prosthetic valve replacement; a chapter devoted to trauma to the heart and great vessels is also included. The chapters are well organized and filled with details that even the specialist can appreciate. The standard x-ray film
Drip Irrigation Design and Management

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Irrigation is one of the artificial way of supplying water to the plants/crops. The amount of water which will be available at the root zone of the plants depends upon the method of irrigation. The efficient use of water greatly depends on that where and how water is applying. Efficient use of is necessary to conserve the water for future use. Since water resources are exhaustible so it needs to conserve. Moreover, the use of water in proper way during irrigation enhances the productivity at same investment. Drip irrigation is efficient method of irrigation because, water drops are direct delivering at the plants root zone. In this method, water drops are moves under pressure inside of main, sub main, lateral and delivers through dripper. Drip irrigation is a type of micro irrigation, where laterals and drippers may install on the surface or buried bellow the soil surface. The main aim of drip irrigation is to deliver the water particles directly at the root in order to minimize the evaporation loss. The efficiency of drip irrigation depends mainly on the design, maintenance and operating condition. I this study the basic theory, design part and experimental parameters are described well.Irrigation, Drip, Water, Efficient use, Evaporation
Non-Uniform Low-Light Face Image Enhancement Based on Dark Channel Prior and Image Uniform Posterior

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Non-uniform low-light images, characterized by complex lighting conditions, pose a significant challenge in image restoration and enhancement, particularly under backlit scenarios where the high-brightness background obscures the foreground information. Existing methods struggle with the diverse illumination factors across different scenes. To overcome this, we introduce a novel deep reconstruction network designed specifically for enhancing non-uniform low-light images. This network leverages the feature representation of uniform natural images, employing the dark channel of the absorption light scattering model (ALSM) to estimate and enhance facial features. Furthermore, the reconstruction process is optimized through the posterior constraint of uniform image characteristics, leading to superior detail enhancement. Our approach has been rigorously tested on both synthetic and real-world images, demonstrating its effectiveness in addressing the complexities of non-uniform low-light image enhancement. The results illustrate a notable enhancement, boosting PSNR by 3.37dB and SSIM by 0.0579 compared to recent methods, with a particular focus on enhancing facial feature details.

Abstract Objectives To assess the efficacy of self‐collected vaginal samples compared with physician‐collected cervical samples for the detection of HPVDNA . Methods A hospital‐based cross‐sectional study was carried out among patients with newly diagnosed cervical cancer attending the Gynecologic Oncology Division, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Radiation Oncology Department at Government Medical College, Kozhikode, Kerala between March 2017 and April 2019. Consenting patients collected their vaginal samples, followed by cervical sample collection by the clinician. The paired samples were transported at 4–8 °C to the laboratory. Amplification of LCR /E6/E7 regions of the HPV genome was done by polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ). The agreement level between paired samples was assessed by the Kappa index. Results Among the 114 cervical cancer patients enrolled in the present cross‐sectional study, the prevalence of HPV DNA was 78.1% (95% confidence interval [ CI ] 69.2%–85%) in cervical samples and 77.2% in vaginal samples (95% CI 68.7%–83.9%). The overall agreement between the two sampling methods was 93.9% and the kappa value was 0.82 ( P <0.001). The sensitivity of HPV detection using vaginal samples was 98.9% (95% CI 93.9%–99.8%) and the specificity was 100% (95% CI 86.7%–100%) with cervical sampling as the gold standard. By Kappa index, an almost perfect agreement for HPV DNA detection between self‐collected and physician‐collected samples was observed. Conclusion Self‐collection of vaginal samples ensures equity of cervical cancer screening in low‐income countries such as India.

Modified affine law for the elastic and optical properties of low density polyethylene

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A unified study of the anomalous mechanical properties and birefringence of low density polyethylene (LDPE) is attempted within the frame work of the rotating element model. The present paper investigates the validity of the affine transformation rule used in the Ward model and suggests a modified affine law which is based on the consideration that the units are only reoriented and, unlike the affine law, are not deformed due to the uniaxial stretching. The relationship between the angles made by the C‐axis of the unit with the drawing direction in the undrawn state (θ) and the drawn state (θ), is deduced as sin θ = f( n ) sin θ′. From the birefringence data of different polymers a two parameter relation of the form f ( n ) = exp [–( n – 1) α/β ] is suggested. Using this new orientation function, the agreement of the predicted values of E 0 and E 90 for LDPE for the entire draw ratio range between temperatures of 60°C to −125°C, is quite satisfactory. An interesting feature is that the abrupt change in the values of the parameters α and β at two different temperatures may be associated with a phase transition of LDPE at an intermediate temperature.
