Investigation of structural and optical properties of In-doped AlSb nanostructures

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The first-principles calculations are made to study the structural electronic and optical properties of indium-doped aluminum antimonide. The most appropriate method of density functional theory (DFT) naming Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) is used. The structural properties like Lattice constant (a), pressure derivative, and bulk modulus (B) were examined by Local density approximation (LDA) along with generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Generalized gradient approximation along with TB-mBJ is used to determine electronic parameters like band structure along and density of states. According to the computed results the binary compound AlSb is optically inactive and exhibits an indirect (Γ-L) band gap. By increasing the concentration of indium with different percentages, the indirect band gap shifted to the direct (Γ – Γ) band gap which shows the material is optically active. The optical properties of the material including dielectric (Real and imaginary parts) constant, reflectivity, refractive index, energy loss, absorption coefficient, and optical conductivity have changed significantly. Electronic and optical properties are modified by (TB-mBJ) approach. The results obtained are examined with experimental data and utilized as a starting point to propose that the material is the superlative choice for the manufacturing of p-n junctions, photo-detectors, laser, photo-diodes, transistors and solar spectrum absorptions in the visible, infrared and ultraviolet energy ranges.
Comparison of activated clotting times obtained using Hemochron and Medtronic analysers in patients receiving anti-thrombin therapy during cardiac catheterisation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Summary Accurate monitoring of anti-thrombin therapy with activated clotting time (ACT) is important to prevent thrombotic and haemorrhagic complications during cardiac catheterisation. Significant variability in ACT tests exists when different analysers are used. Our objective was to compare ACT results obtained using Hemochron→ and Medtronic ACT PLUS→ devices and anti-Xa activity in patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation. Thirty-two patients who received unfractionated heparin or argatroban therapy during cardiac catheterisation were enrolled. Blood sampling was performed to determine ACT values using Hemochron and Medtronic (with high-range cartridges) devices in all patients (n=130 pairs), and anti-Xa activity following heparin administration. In the heparin group, ACT tests (n=95 pairs) showed very good correlation (r=0.84, y=1.31x–0.81; p<0.001). However, Hemochron values were consistently higher and the difference more pronounced with increasing ACT (for ACT>150 sec, mean difference 65 ± 48 sec; p<0.001). Both Hemochron and Medtronic ACT tests correlated well with plasma anti-Xa levels (r=0.85, r=0.81, respectively; p<0.001); Hemochron ACT>300 sec corresponded to anti-Xa>1.48 IU/ml. With concomitant eptifibatide therapy, the divergence in ACT was greater compared to heparin alone. In the argatroban group, ACT tests (n=35 pairs) demonstrated excellent correlation (r=0.94, y=0.61x+79.9; p<0.001). In contrast to the heparin group, ACT values were higher with Medtronic compared to Hemochron. Therefore, despite good correlation between Hemochron and Medtronic ACT results, and strong association with anti-Xa activity, Medtronic ACT values were consistently lower compared to Hemochron following heparin anticoagulation. Paradoxically, Medtronic ACT results were higher after argatroban therapy. Understanding this discrepancy is crucial when using ACT to guide invasive cardiac procedures.
Efficient numerical method for evaluating normal and anomalous time-domain equilibrium Green's functions in inhomogeneous systems

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this work we develop EPOCH: Equilibrium Propagator by Orthogonal polynomial CHain, a computationally efficient method to calculate the time-dependent equilibrium Green's functions, including the anomalous Green's functions of superconductors, to capture the time-evolution in large inhomogeneous systems. The EPOCH method generalizes the Chebyshev wave-packet propagation method from quantum chemistry and efficiently incorporates the Fermi-Dirac statistics that is needed for equilibrium quantum condensed matter systems. The computational cost of EPOCH scales only linearly in the system degrees of freedom, generating an extremely efficient algorithm also for very large systems. We demonstrate the power of the EPOCH method by calculating the time-evolution of an excitation near a superconductor-normal metal interface in two and three dimensions, capturing transmission as well as normal and Andreev reflections.

Atypical Necrobiosis Lipoidica in a Non-Diabetic Patient: A Case Report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare granulomatous skin disorder commonly associated with diabetes but may also occur in non-diabetic individuals. We present the case of a 52-year-old non-diabetic woman with NL, highlighting the rarity of its presentation and the importance of considering alternative etiologies such as autoimmune disorders and thyroid abnormalities. Clinically, NL manifests as erythematous papules merging into plaques with central atrophy, predominantly affecting the lower limbs. Diagnosis is confirmed through dermoscopy and histopathology, revealing characteristic features such as granulomatous inflammation and necrobiotic collagen. Therapeutically, there are no standardized guidelines for NL management due to its low prevalence. Topical glucocorticoids are commonly used but carry risks of skin atrophy and other adverse effects. Calcineurin inhibitors, such as tacrolimus, offer a safer alternative, especially in atrophic lesions. Biological therapies, including TNF-α inhibitors and Janus kinase inhibitors, have shown promise in severe cases. Despite various treatment options, strict glycemic control does not appear to prevent NL development or progression, and spontaneous resolution occurs in about 19% of diabetic cases after an average of 12 years. This case emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive evaluation in NL diagnosis and highlights the potential of alternative therapies for refractory cases.
Face Recognitions Using Centroid Shift and Neural Network-based Principal Component Analysis

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

본 논문에서는 영상의 1차 모멘트와 단층신경망에 기반을 둔 주요성분분석을 이용한 얼굴인식 기법을 제안하였다. 여기서 1차 모멘트는 입력되는 얼굴영상의 중심이동을 위한 것으로 차원을 감소시켜 얼굴인식에 불필요한 배경을 배제시키기 위함이다. 또한 단층신경망을 이용한 주요성분분석은 수치적 기법의 대안으로 Foldiak 학습알고리즘을 이용하며, 차원을 감소시켜 얼굴영상의 특징추출을 위한 정규직교기저를 얻기 위함이다. 제안된 기법을 64$\ast$64 픽셀의 48개(12명$\ast$4장) 학습자 얼굴영상을 대상으로 city-block, Euclidean, 그리고 negative angle의 각 거리 척도를 분류척도로 이용하여 실험하였다. 실험결과, 제안된 기법은 우수한 인식성능이 있음을 확인하였다. 특히 negative angle를 이용하는 것이 city-block이나 Euclidean을 이용하는 것보다 상대적으로 정확하게 유사성을 측정할 수 있었다. This paper presents a hybrid recognition method of first moment of face image and principal component analysis(PCA). First moment is applied to reduce the dimension by shifting to the centroid of image, which is to exclude the needless backgrounds in the face recognitions. PCA is implemented by single layer neural network which has a teaming rule of Foldiak algorithm. It has been used as an alternative method for numerical PCA. PCA is to derive an orthonormal basis which directly leads to dimensionality reduction and possibly to feature extraction of face image. The proposed method has been applied to the problems for recognizing the 48 face images(12 Persons $\ast$ 4 scenes) of 64$\ast$64 pixels. The 3 distances such as city-block, Euclidean, negative angle are used as measures when match the probe images to the nearest gallery images. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performances(speed, rate). The negative angle has been relatively achieved more an accurate similarity than city-block or Euclidean.
Data_Sheet_1_Preschool Exposure to Online Games and Internet Gaming Disorder in Adolescents: A Cohort Study.docx

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

<p>Objectives: Although considerable evidence has already been collected on the effects of early initiation of drug/alcohol consumption on addictive behaviors in adolescents, little is known about the impact of early exposure to online games during preschool ages on the risk of internet gaming disorder (IGD). We evaluated the effects of exposure to online games before entering elementary school on IGD occurrence during the secondary school years using a community-based longitudinal study.</p><p>Methods: Data from 1,760 adolescents (seventh grade), who were recruited from the iCURE study and followed for 2 years, were analyzed. A high risk of IGD (HRIGD) was assessed by the Internet Game Use Elicited Symptom Screen, a self-reported questionnaire based on the fifth version of DSM-5 IGD criteria. Early exposure to online gaming was defined as when adolescents played online games during their preschool years. A multivariate generalized-estimating-equation model was applied to examine the independent risk factor of the occurrence of HRIGD during the 2-year follow-up period.</p><p>Results: As compared with the later-exposure group, those with early exposure to online games showed an ~1.7-fold greater incidence of HRIGD over the 2-year follow-ups after adjusting for potential confounders including baseline IGD scores (adjusted relative risk:1.69; 95%confidence interval:1.08–2.66). Pre-specified sensitivity analyses showed that the results were robust.</p><p>Conclusion: Exposure to online gaming during the preschool years increases the likelihood of occurrence of HRIGD in adolescence. Restricting exposure to online games during the preschool years should be examined as a way to reduce the risk of IGD in adolescents.</p><p>Clinical Trial Registration:www.clinicaltrials.gov, identifier: NCT02415322.</p>
Polygenic risk scores in psychiatry: Will they be useful for clinicians?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Major psychiatric disorders are heritable but they are genetically complex. This means that, with certain exceptions, single gene markers will not be helpful for diagnosis. However, we are learning more about the large number of gene variants that, in combination, are associated with risk for disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric conditions. The presence of those risk variants may now be combined into a polygenic risk score (PRS). Such a score provides a quantitative index of the genomic burden of risk variants in an individual, which relates to the likelihood that a person has a particular disorder. Currently, such scores are quite useful in research, and they are telling us much about the relationships between different disorders and other indices of brain function. In the future, as the datasets supporting the development of such scores become larger and more diverse and as methodological developments improve predictive capacity, we expect that PRS will have substantial clinical utility in the assessment of risk for disease, subtypes of disease, and even treatment response. Here, we provide an overview of PRS in general terms (including a glossary suitable for informed non-geneticists) and discuss the use of PRS in psychiatry, including their limitations and cautions for interpretation, as well as their applications now and in the future.
A Variance Mismatch Study for Serial Concatenated Turbo Codes.

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

: In this paper we look at the impact of variance mismatch on the performance of serial concatenated convolutional codes (SCCC). It was found that serial schemes are more sensitive to variance mismatch compared to parallel schemes. We reviewed two dierent variance estimation schemes and applied them to the serial scheme. We found that both schemes work very well with a serial decoder. Also, the schemes work well for small block sizes. Keywords: Turbo codes, variance estimation. This work was carried out with nancial support from the Commonwealth of Australia through the Cooperative Research Centres Program. 1. Introduction In analysing wireless channels we usually assume that we know exactly the amount of variance of the channel. However, in real applications this is usually not the case. The variance needs to be derived from the data that was received and hence is only an approximation. There remains a question on how will a non-accurate variance aect the performance of an i...
Plasmonic Ag Nanoparticles on SiC for Use as SERS Substrate and in Integrated Optical Sensors for Bio-Chemical Applications

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Development of optical chemical sensors for the detection of specific toxic chemicals at ultratrace levels and analysis of complex mixtures is crucial for new green and safe technologies [1, 2]. Metallic structures confined at the nanoscale acquire interesting properties such as strongly localizing E fields on their surfaces through Plasmonic Resonance under stimuli of light at certain wavelengths. This nanostructures are called plasmonic structures [3–5]. This effect is exploited to amplify the optical signal obtained by the molecules of interest, located near plasmonic structures [3, 6]. Purpose of the work is the development of innovative, easy to manufacture and cheap optical active layer consisting of Plasmonic Ag Nanoparticles on a Wide Band Gap semiconductor material such as Silicon Carbide to be used as substrate for Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering or for the fabrication of integrated optical sensor for remote chemical and biological applications. In this contest, the phenomenon of Ag thin film thermal dewetting on SiC substrate was implemented to develop a simple nanoparticles synthetic approach. Scanning Electron Microscopy confirmed the formation of Ag nanoparticles by thermal annealing of thin silver film. 4-MBA was used as probe molecule for SERS phenomenon investigation. The formation of a covalent bond between the silver nanostructures, acting as plasmonic "hot spots", and the species of interest enable its detection at very low concentrations, in the range of 10 -5 M or less, in both Raman and UV-Vis configurations.
[Depression in black Africa. Review of the literature].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The first two chapters of the present review of literature about depression in Black Africa deal with epidemiological data and semiological items. The epidemiological approach rises up the same difficulties as those raised in similar researches carried out in Western Countries, and others linked with the sociological field being studied. We find in the clinical descriptions some basic symptoms classically described in the West. Yet, the expression of the depressive experience gives way to cultural persecutive interpretations, the meaning of which is treated in the third chapter.
Detection of 5‐HMF in apple juice with artificial sensing systems

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Summary 5‐ HMF (5‐hydroxymethyl‐furfural) is a product of thermal treatment and is increasingly considered a food contaminant. Here, different concentrations of 5‐ HMF were measured in apple juice to evaluate the performance of the electronic nose ( EN ) and electronic tongue ( ET ) as rapid detection techniques for 5‐ HMF when coupled with chemometric analysis. Principal component analysis ( PCA ) and linear discriminant analysis ( LDA ) evaluated the discrimination capacity of EN and ET for 5‐ HMF . Loading analysis examined the discrimination contribution of the EN sensors. Partial least square ( PLS ) regression analysis established a quantitative prediction model for different concentrations of 5‐ HMF based on EN and ET data set. The optimal models had a coefficient of determination ( R 2 ) of 0.926 and a root‐mean‐square error of prediction ( RMSEP ) of 0.4168 in EN ; there were R 2 of 0.914 and RMSEP of 0.5836 in ET . These results demonstrate that EN and ET coupled with chemometric analysis are two promising approaches for the rapid and online detection of 5‐ HMF in apple juice.
Minimum Entropy Generation in the Cardiovascular System

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This study was performed under the motivation to find a scheme that could \ndescribe the complex behavior of cardiovascular homeostasis. This is hypothesized to \nbe manifested in a thermodynamic description of the cardiovascular system (CVS). \nSeen from a thermodynamic framework, the mechanics of blood flow can be gauged in \nsimilar terms as metabolic exchange at the capillaries - thereby providing a holistic \nand novel perspective on overall CVS function. Entropy generation, a thermodynamic calculation, represents lost work and is hypothesized to reveal something about the "optimal" state of the CVS. In particular, it is hypothesized that the CVS state that generates minimal entropy, given certain \nconstraints, will be physiologically preferred and that cardiovascular control operates \nto find this state. This will be tested by first proposing a method to calculate entropy \ngeneration in the CVS, and secondly characterizing entropy generation across unique \nCVS states by simulation of a mathematical model.
Second-Order Uncertainty in Accounting Information and Bilateral Bargaining Costs

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Efficient contracting involves reducing the losses in wealth due to bargaining impasses, time and effort spent in negotiating, delays in implementing profitable projects, and second-best agreements. Properties of accounting systems play a significant role when bargainers haggle over accounting-based payoffs. This paper shows that bilateral bargaining requires more time and generates more reported subjective disutility when the accounting information used in contracting creates greater uncertainty about payoffs. We develop an argument linking accounting-based common uncertainty to the information asymmetry about bargainers' payoffs that drives bargaining costs. We also distinguish between two kinds of uncertainty: first-order uncertainty or simple risk (uncertainty about outcomes) and second-order uncertainty (uncertainty about probability distributions of outcomes). In an experimental setting, we show that the presence of second-order uncertainty increases bargaining costs, holding first-order uncertainty constant at a moderately high level. We also find that bargainers whose payoffs are affected by second-order uncertainty demand and receive a higher premium than bargainers whose payoffs are affected by simple risk only.
Global burden of musculoskeletal disorders and attributable factors in 204 countries and territories: a secondary analysis of the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To evaluate the global burden of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, as well as the five common conditions, and their relevant risk factors from 1990 to 2019. Design Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 were used in this study. Setting and participants Individuals of all ages and genders from 204 countries and territories in 21 regions. Main outcome measures The outcomes were the numbers and age-standardised rates (ASRs) of incident cases, deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of MSK disorders. The average annual percent changes (AAPCs) in the ASRs were calculated using joinpoint regression analysis to estimate the trends. Results There were 322.75 million incident cases, 117.54 thousand deaths and 150.08 million DALYs of MSK disorders in 2019. The age-standardised incidence rate and age-standardised DALY rate in 2019 (incidence: AAPC=−0.32, 95% CI −0.34 to −0.31; DALYs: AAPC=−0.05, 95% CI −0.06 to −0.04) were lower than those in 1990. However, the age-standardised death rate showed a stable trend (AAPC 0.05, 95% CI −0.05 to 0.15) from 1990 to 2019. The peak age of onset and DALYs of MSK disorders was 50–54 years in 2019. The burden of MSK disorders in females was much higher than that in males (1.29 times more incident cases, 2.24 times more deaths and 1.45 times more DALYs in females than in males). A significant negative correlation was observed between the AAPCs in the ASRs and the Sociodemographic Index (SDI) score. Occupational risk exhibited the highest contribution to MSK disorders, and tobacco use and high body mass index were also major risk factors. Conclusions This study demonstrates that the burden of MSK disorders tends to be lower in high-SDI regions than in lower-SDI regions. Strengthening the effectiveness of preventive measures against occupational risks may reduce the burden of MSK disorders.
