Energy Efficient Design for 3D Printed Earth Architecture

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Additive manufacturing with mud has the potential to reintroduce traditional materials within our contemporary design culture, answering the current demands of sustainability, energy efficiency and cost in construction. Building upon previous research, this study proposes the design and test of real-scale wall elements that aim to take advantage of both the novel material fabrication process as well as the significant thermodynamic properties of the material to achieve a performative passive material system for bioclimatic architecture. Although this project is still at an early stage, the presented study demonstrates the potential of combining 3D printing of mud with performance analysis and simulation for the optimization of a wall prototype.
[Chemical separation product of Ageratina adenophora essential oil (AAEO) inhibits the inflammation of RAW264.7 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Objective To investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of Ageratina adenophora essential oil (AAEO-CP) and its effects on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) protein in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. Methods RAW264.7 cells were divided into control group, LPS group, and LPS combined with AAEO-CP group. The cytotoxicity of AAEO-CP was detected by CCK-8 assay. The mRNA and protein expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 were detected by real-time PCR and ELISA, respectively, and the protein expression of TLR4 in RAW264.7 cells was measured by Western blotting. Results AAEO-CP below 20 mg/mL was not cytotoxic to RAW264.7 cells. LPS increased the protein expression of TLR4, also increased the protein and mRNA expression of IL-6, but decrease the protein and mRNA expression of IL-10 in RAW264.7 cells. And all of the above results were reversed by AAEO-CP. Conclusion AAEO-CP can play the anti-inflammatory effects by increasing the expression of IL-10 protein and decreasing the expression of IL-6 protein, and inhibiting TLR4 protein in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells.
Outpatient parenteral antifungal therapy (OPAT) for invasive fungal infections with intermittent dosing of liposomal amphotericin B

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Triazole resistant A. fumigatus has been documented in many parts of the world. In the Netherlands, incidence is now above 10% and results in the need for long-term parenteral therapy with liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB). The long terminal half-life of LAmB suggests that intermittent dosing could be effective, making the application of outpatient antifungal therapy (OPAT) possible. Here, we report our experience with the use of OPAT for Invasive Fungal Infections (IFI). All adult patients treated with LAmB with a 2 or 3 times weekly administration via the outpatient departments in four academic tertiary care centers in the Netherlands and Belgium since January 2010 were included in our analysis. Patient characteristics were collected, as well as information about diagnostics, therapy dose and duration, toxicity, treatment history and outcome of the IFI. In total, 18 patients were included. The most frequently used regimen (67%) was 5 mg/kg 3 times weekly. A partial response to the daily treatment prior to discharge was confirmed by CT-scan in 17 (94%) of patients. A favorable outcome was achieved in 13 (72%) patients. Decrease in renal function occurred in 10 (56%) cases but was reversible in all and was treatment limiting in one patient only. The 100-day mortality and 1-year mortality after initiation of OPAT were 0% and 6%, respectively. In a selected population, and after confirmation of initial response to treatment, our data support the use of OPAT with LAmB for treatment of IFI in an intermittent dosing regimen.

WHAT IS THE BEST RIGGING CONFIGURATION TO USE IN NEW ZEALAND CABLE LOGGING OPERATIONS

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

There are a number of cable logging documents which describe the various rigging configurations, but very few provide any detailed information as to what system will be more productive, or safer, under what stand and terrain conditions. The purpose of this study was to interview experienced cable loggers in New Zealand to find out what they knew about rigging configurations and their applications. Fifty people across eight different regions participated in the study including company planners, yarder operators, foreman, and crew owners. The majority of participants had a good understanding of four of the most common rigging configurations; North-bend, Running Skyline (Scab), Highlead, and Shotgun. Results show that the North-bend system was the most commonly used rigging configuration with 48% of individuals stating they used it more often than others. Less often used rigging configurations generated lots of interest and discussion, but knowledge and experience with these configurations was highly variable. Motorized carriages for example were recognized as versatile for long haul distances, broken terrain, and for obtaining full suspension over Stream Management Zones (SMZ’s). However, only 4% stated they used motorized carriages most often, and only 28% said they had used them in the last five years. There is often a wide overlap in applicability of rigging configurations, but choosing one to match conditions can be difficult. Perceived advantages and disadvantages of each system are presented in the paper. This study aims to make the configuration selection process easier by sharing the knowledge and experience of industry professionals.
Minimum Wages and Youth: The Case of South Africa

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This article applies the econometric methods of the new minimum wage literature to assess the impact of minimum wages on employment, wages and non-wage benefits for youth in South Africa. We find a statistically significant but small decline in youth employment in Agriculture. In addition, a small but significant increase in youth employed in Retail and the Taxi sector is observed. For the other sectors, we find no effect. There is a positive wage effect for young people in four of the six minimum wage sectors in our preferred estimation. At the intensive margin, hours of work were adjusted downward in three of the six minimum wage sectors and increased in the post-law period for one sector. It is only in one sector, Retail, where the law appears to have increased the probability of having a written employment contract. In addition, we measure minimum wage violation and find significant levels of non-compliance with the law for a large cohort of young people in South Africa.
Development of a significant index model for assessing heritage building maintenance management challenges

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose The paper aims to identify the critical constraints that impede heritage building (HB) facility managers from discharging their duties effectively and develop an index model to guide HB maintenance management (HBMM) practitioners to the critical constraints. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was conducted to identify HBMM constraints. Facilty management practitioners assessed the constraints' significance through an online survey. The factor analysis was used to shortlist and group the constraints, and the constraint clusters were analyzed by the fuzzy synthetic evaluation technique. A significant index cluster to determine HBMM constraints criticality was generated using the linear additive model. Findings Embracing a total of 16 HBMM constraints, the three clusters identified are: (1) managerial and inadequacy constraints, (2) pressure and bureaucracy constraints and (3) HB peculiarities constraints. Based on the generated significant index, the HB peculiarities cluster was identified as the most significant. Research limitations/implications The study was conducted in a particular jurisdiction, limiting the generalizability of the result. Future research should address this limitation by covering more jurisdictions. Practical implications The significant index model (SIM) developed enables HBMM practitioners to objectively assess the criticality of HB constraints and facilitates them to effectively strategize and allocate resources for HBMM. Originality/value The SIM, which transforms subjective judgment into the objective assessment of the HBMM constraints' criticality, can assist practitioners, policymakers and other HBMM stakeholders in implementing strategies for the sustainability of HBs.
Optimization of Superconducting Undulators for Low Repetition Rate FELs

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Superconducting undulators (SCUs) optimized for storage rings and MHz-level FELs require an intermediate beam screen to intercept the power deposited by the electron beam, due to resistive wall wakefields, to prevent magnet quenching. This beam screen increases the magnet gap by around 2 mm which is a significant increase when compared to the typical electron beam aperture of around 5 mm. However, lower repetition rate FELs only deposit of the order of tens of mW/m and so the beam screen is no longer needed resulting in a significant reduction in undulator magnet gap. We have investigated the impact of this reduced magnet gap and found that the magnetic field level increases greatly. For example, an SCU with a 15 mm period and 5 mm aperture optimized for a low repetition rate FEL instead of a storage ring will generate a field of 2.1 T compared to 1.4 T. Such a major increase in undulator performance could have a significant impact on the optimization of FELs. This paper describes how an SCU optimized for application in a FEL will be able to generate magnetic field levels far beyond those currently foreseen for any other magnet technology.
Multi-lead ECG data compression with orthogonal expansions: KLT and wavelet packets

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Presents the extension of transform coding compression methods to multilead ECG recordings in order to reduce the inter-lead correlation. Two orthogonal expansions are considered: the Karhunen-Loeve transform and a fast approximation of it based on wavelet packets, also known as best basis algorithm. The multilead compression algorithm with wavelet packets achieves an average compression ratio of 30.5:1 in two-leads records from MIT-BIH Arrythmia database, in contrast to 21.4:1 for the single-lead algorithm with the same distortion. Better results could be obtained in ECG recordings with more than two leads.
Determination of visual characteristics of egg for quality evaluation by image processing method

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Research Aim: Eggs, as a major food source in people diet, due to encompassing high amount of protein, vitamins and essential nutrients, have been produced in a significant amount in the country,. Therefore, it is essential to development methods for controlling and monitoring eggs quality in production lines. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the identification of some apparent qualitative indices of eggs, by instrumental method.
Research Method: In this study, image processing technique was used to determine the appearance components of egg in order to evaluate its visual quality.
Findings: Based on the results of this study, it was found that 100% of deformed eggs could be detected from sound eggs, only by two predictive parameters of major diameter and convex area. While for detection of eggs with apparent contamination from healthy samples, the accuracy of discrimination was equal to 83% and 67% for double class (stained and non-stained eggs) and three class (high stained, low stained and without stain) respectively.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this research, it is possible to detect some apparent quality indices of egg, including deforming and surface contamination, by backlighting. However, further research should be done to develop instrumental methods, applicable in automated egg production plants. Nonetheless, in order to determine all visual quality indices of the egg, such as surface crack, further efforts are needed to develop discriminating algorithm and also new lighting techniques.

Histological and transcriptomic analysis of paravaginal and central defects in anterior vaginal wall prolapse: Insights from DeLancey's pelvic floor theory.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The differences between paravaginal and central defect types of anterior vaginal wall prolapse may be related to the expression of MMP-related proteins; KEGG enrichment analysis of differential genes indicated that they were closely related to the protein ECM pathway. Moreover, delineative lesions appeared in the paravaginal defect interstitium, and degenerative lesions appeared in the central defect mucosa and interstitium, which further enriched the DeLancey three-level theory.
Pengaruh Carbon Monoxide (CO) dan Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) terhadap Perubahan Land Surface Temperature (LST) di Kota Padang dengan Menggunakan Data Penginderaan Jauh

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The purpose of this study is to identify changes in the surface temperature of Land Lurface Temperature (LST) in Padang City in 2018 and 2023 and analyze the influence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) air pollution in Padang City in 2018 and 2023. The data used in this study are Landsat OLI 8 satellite imagery and Sentinel 5P satellite image data analyzed using Geographic Information System technology. The results show that in 2018 the highest temperature reached 33°C and in 2023 the highest temperature was 28°C, then the effect of CO on LST in 2018 was significantly related to the value of the determination coefficient of (R2 = 64,9 ), and the influence of NO2 was weakly related to the value (R2 = 16,3). In 2023, the effect of CO on LST is weakly related to the value (R2 = 2) and NO2 on LST is also weakly related (R2 = 5,1). The results showed that there was a trend of changes in LST and its relationship to air pollution but showed a not very strong relationship.

A Flexible Finite-Horizon Identification of Technology Shocks

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Recent empirical studies using infinite horizon long-run restrictions question the validity of the technology-driven real business cycle hypothesis. These results have met with their own controversy, stemming from their sensitivity to changes in model specification and the general poor performance of long-run restrictions in Monte Carlo experiments. We propose an alternative identification that maximizes the contribution of technology shocks to the forecast-error variance of labor productivity at a long, but finite horizon. In small samples, our identification outperforms its infinite horizon counterpart by producing less biased impulse responses and technology shocks that are more highly correlated with the technology shocks from the underlying model. We apply our identification to post-war U.S. data and find that the negative hours response is not robust to allowing a slightly greater role for non-technology shocks in the variance of productivity at long horizons. We conclude that restrictions aimed at isolating the dynamics of productivity beyond business cycle frequencies do not provide information sufficient to robustly predict short-run movements in labor hours.

[Enhancement of antioxidant status of the elderly patients with ischemic heart disease in response to amino acid composition of MP-33 in combined therapy with trimetazidine].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Effects of amino acid composition MP-33 in combination with trimetazidine were studied in metabolic therapy of elderly patients (age 63.3 +/- 1.7 years) with ischemic heart disease (angina pectoris functional class II-III). MP-33 (100 mg 3 times a day subling.), trimetazidine (20 mg 3 times a day per os), trimetazidine + amino acid composition MP-33 in the above doses in addition to basic therapy were given to 30, 15 and 15 patients, respectively. Combined therapy with trimetazidine and MP-33 significantly activated antioxidant enzymes and depressed lipid peroxidation due to GSH-dependent regulation of cellular redox status by MP-33.
Selective and Adjustable Removal of Phenolic Compounds from Water by Biquaternary Ammonium Polyacrylonitrile Fibers

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

A series of biquaternary ammonium-functionalized fibers were developed to efficiently realize selective removal of phenolic compounds from water. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to determine the successful preparation of functionalized fibers. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, and elemental analysis were used to analyze the microstructure and composition. First, the adsorption result shows that a fiber with a three-carbon alkyl chain (PANBQAS-3F) has the maximum adsorption capacity for 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP) (406 mg g-1). Electrostatic attraction and π-π interaction are the main forces in adsorption. The adsorption kinetics studies display that PANBQAS-3F can rapidly adsorb 2,4-DNP in 10 min and achieve equilibrium within 20 min. The adsorption process of 2,4-DNP by PANBQAS-3F follows the Langmuir model, demonstrating that the process is more consistent with monolayer adsorption. What is more, the adsorbent PANBQAS-3F can be reused after 10 adsorption/desorption cycles and still maintains an excellent removal rate (99%). Otherwise, PANBQAS-3F was used in a continuous flow process and exhibited a removal rate of more than 96%, which certifies that PANBQAS-3F is an excellent adsorbent and can be utilized in practice.
Primary structure and possible origin of the non-glycosylated basic proline-rich protein of human submandibular/sublingual saliva

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Human submandibular/sublingual saliva contains one non-glycosylated basic proline-rich protein whereas parotid saliva contains multiple such components. The submandibular protein has a primary structure identical with the C-terminal segment [TZ] of the human parotid acidic proline-rich proteins that contain 150 amino acid residues (Mr 16,000). Northern-blot analyses of human parotid and submandibular glands revealed that mRNAs containing the HaeIII repeat sequence typical for acidic proline-rich proteins are expressed in both of these salivary glands whereas mRNAs for non-glycosylated basic proline-rich proteins containing a typical BstN1 repeat sequence are expressed in the parotid but not in the submandibular gland. Products of translation in vitro of mRNAs from human parotid and submandibular glands were also examined. Two immunoprecipitable bands with Mr 29,000 and 28,000 were obtained by translation of both parotid and submandibular mRNA. In the presence of microsomal membranes these proteins gave rise to proteins electrophoretically identical with the secreted acidic proline-rich proteins of Mr 16,000. These proteins were cleaved by kallikrein, giving rise to proteins with electrophoretic mobilities identical with those of a smaller acidic proline-rich protein with Mr 11,000 and peptide TZ. Additional immunoprecipitable bands with Mr ranging from 35,000 to 46,000 were seen when parotid mRNA was used for translation in vitro, and are believed to be precursors of the basic proline-rich proteins encoded by the BstN1 repeat type mRNA. Neither these bands nor a separate precursor for the basic non-glycosylated proline-rich protein was detected when submandibular mRNA was used for translation in vitro. It is suggested that the non-glycosylated basic proline-rich protein present in human submandibular saliva arises by cleavage of acidic proline-rich proteins.
In vivo Detection of Ball Heading-Associated Microstructure Changes at the Sulcal Fundi and Gyral Crowns in Amateur Soccer Players

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Motivation: Neurodegenerative changes in the cortical sulci and gyri have been associated with repetitive head impacts (RHI) but have only been observed post-mortem. Goal(s): To detect sulcal and gyral extrema white matter microstructure changes in vivo. Approach: Automated image-analysis algorithms were used to average the fractional anisotropy (FA) of sulcal fundi and gyral crowns in a cohort of amateur adult soccer players and age- and sex- matched non-collision amateur athletes. Results: We found soccer players&rsquo; FA was significantly lower within the fundi and crowns of the frontal, orbitofrontal, temporal regions, as well as the cingulate and parietal regions for fundi only. Impact: Here we report the first in vivo imaging study demonstrating white matter microstructure changes within sulci and gyri due to RHI. We anticipate our approach to be a starting point for more sophisticated use of DTI to study RHI effects.
