Horn design in non-contact ultrasonic abrasive machining

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Ultrasonic machining is fast becoming popular today. The purpose of this study is to explore how various ultrasonic horn shapes can affect non-contact ultrasonic abrasive machining. Due to the wide nature of ultrasonic horns, a multitude of possibilities lie ahead. By varying certain geometrical parameters of the horn design, it is possible to accomplish a very different finishing. Non-contact ultrasonic abrasive machining, not limiting to, primarily relies on acoustic cavitation for material removal. As such, this study aims to determine how varying the horn design can affect the acoustic cavitation phenomenon and in turn, improve on the quality of the finishing when utilising non-contact ultrasonic abrasive machining. Through this study, results concur with past literature on how the resonant frequency and intensity can vary with different horn designs. As this is a rather broad topic, this report serves as a preliminary guide on the question at hand. Many other factors such as horn and material combinations can and should be considered in the future.
The QUTA activator and QUTR repressor proteins of Aspergillus nidulans interact to regulate transcription of the quinate utilization pathway genes

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

Genetic evidence suggests that the activity of the native QUTA transcription activator protein is negated by the action of the QUTR transcription repressor protein. When Aspergillus nidulans was transformed with plasmids containing the wild-type qutA gene, transformants that constitutively expressed the quinate pathway enzymes were isolated. The constitutive phenotype of these transformants was associated with an increased copy number of the transforming qutA gene and elevated qutA mRNA levels. Conversely, when A. nidulans was transformed with plasmids containing the qutR gene under the control of the constitutive pgk promoter, transformants with a super-repressed phenotype (unable to utilize quinate as a carbon source) were isolated. The super-repressed phenotype of these transformants was associated with an increased copy number of the transforming qutR gene and elevated qutR mRNA levels. These copy-number-dependent phenotypes argue that the levels of the QUTA and QUTR proteins were elevated in the high-copy-number transformants. When diploid strains were formed by combining haploid strains that contained high copy numbers of either the qutA gene (constitutive phenotype) or the qutR gene (super-repressing; non-inducible phenotype), the resulting diploid phenotype was one of quinate-inducible production of the quinate pathway enzymes, in a manner similar to wild-type. The simplest interpretation of these observations is that the QUTR repressor protein mediates its repressing activity through a direct interaction with the QUTA activator protein. Other possible interpretations are discussed in the text. Experiments in which truncated versions of the QUTA protein were produced in the presence of a wild-type QUTA protein indicate that the QUTR repressor protein recognizes and binds to the C-terminal half of the QUTA activator protein.
Using life-cycle assessment to evaluate environmental impacts of torrefied briquette production from forest residues

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This report presents life-cycle impact assessment analysis of near-woods processing of post-harvest forest residues (a biomass raw material) into torrefied wood for bioenergy production.The study was part of the Waste to Wisdom project with a broader goal of evaluating the use semimobile biomass conversion technologies to optimize biomass logistics, thereby overcoming the barriers of valorizing woody biomass residues for renewable energy and material production.Cradle-to-grave analysis of the torrefied briquettes (TOB) supply chain included feedstock procurement, hauling, feedstock preparation and bioconversion (torrefaction and densification) stages, product transportation (distribution), and combustion of TOB in domestic wood stoves for heat generation.The results showed that a large portion of the global warming (GW) impact of the TOB supply chain resulted from the torrefaction process (59%) followed by the drying process with about 24% of the contribution.The large contribution of these processes resulted from propane use.Comparative analysis showed that 50% substitution of propane used in domestic heating with TOB resulted in a 41% decrease in GW impact.The near-woods operation resulted in a 55% lower GW impact compared with transporting the feedstock to an in-town facility with access to grid electricity.
Antimicrobial Resistance Profile of Enterobacter cloacae Isolated from the First Bethune Hospital

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Enterobacter cloacae is significant causes of nosocomial infections. The present study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance profiles of Enterobacter cloacae isolated from the First Bethune Hospital. Disk diffusion method was used to study the antimicrobial resistance. The data were analyzed by WHONET 5 software according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The majority of 683 strains of Enterobacter cloacae were collected from sputum (410, 60.0%), secretions and pus (105, 15.4%), urine (69, 10.1%). All the Enterobacter cloacae isolates were sensitive to imipenem and meropenem. Enterobacter cloacae strains were frequently resistant to multiple antibiotics. The results suggest that surveillance of antimicrobial resistance among Enterobacter cloacae is necessary.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Aim: To establish a suitable animal model of vascular dementia(VaD) with experimental diabetes mellitus(DM).Methods: Diabetes mellitus was induced in male SD rats by an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The bilateral common carotid arteries were ligated permanently to establish rat models of VaD. The rats reaching standard were randomly divided into four groups: sham control group,sham DM group, VaD group,and DM+VaD group.The weight and serum glucose were recorded. The spacial study and memory in Y-maze after 2,4,8 weeks of operation were estimated. Results: The rats in VaD group and DM+VaD group showed worse performance 2 weeks after operation,and 4 weeks after operation in DM group. The rats in DM+VaD group had more error numbers (EN) and longer total reaction time (TRT) than VaD group at the same time. Conclusion: The VaD rat model with DM has been established successfully, which can be used to study the relation between diabetes and VaD.
<b>LIPID PROFILE IN NON-OBESE AND NON-DIABETIC HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS</b>

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Hypertension is a strong predictor for cardiovascular morbidity and typically coexist with dyslipidemia. Hypertensive patients may also have dyslipidemia, which further increases their risk of atherosclerosis, independent of obesity or diabetes. The lipid profile in these patients is of valuable importance for differentiating the cardiovascular risk regardless of their concomitant metabolic syndromes. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of lipid profile (LP) abnormalities in non-obese, non-diabetic hypertensive patients and their impact on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk beyond traditional risk factors. Study Design: This is a cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of study: From December 2024 to May 2025 in General Medicine Department, Bolan Medical Complex Hospital Quetta. Methods: One hundred non-diabetic, non-obese hypertensive subjects were included in a cross-sectional study. Fasting blood lipid profiles including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24.0. Independent t-tests were applied, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study population had a mean age of 52.6 ± 9.4 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.2. A total of 100 hypertensive patients were enrolled. The mean lipid values were: total cholesterol (TC) 205.3 ± 34.7 mg/dL, LDL-C 132.8 ± 28.6 mg/dL, HDL-C 38.5 ± 6.9 mg/dL, and triglycerides (TG) 178.4 ± 41.2 mg/dL. There was Dyslipidemia in 62 Low HDL-C (p = 0.031) and high LDL-C (p = 0.042) were significantly associated with hypertension. These results indicate that there is a relatively high burden of lipid abnormality in hypertensive patients beyond obesity or diabetes. Conclusions: Non-obese non-diabetic hypertensive patients present dyslipidemia, mainly hyper-LDL-C and hypo-HDL-C, thus showing higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Hypertension in itself can be a potential risk factor for lipid abnormalities, stressing the importance of routine monitoring of lipids even without regular metabolic risk factors. It has been shown that early screening and treatment of dyslipidemia could effectively decrease future cardiovascular events in essential hypertensive patients.
Geological Model of Reservoir Based on Seismic Attributes and Ant Tracking Case Study - F3 Block, Offshore Netherlands

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Seismic Attribute is one of the best quantitative tools for seismic characteristic of interest. Analysis of attributes has been integral to reflection seismic integration since around 1930 when geophysics started to pick traveltimes to coherent reflections on seismic field records. There are more than 50 distinct seimisc attributes calculated from seismic data and applied to the interpretation of geological structure, stratigraphy, and rock/pore fluid properties. Seismic attributes are a powerful aid to to seismic interpretation. They allow the geoscientist to visualise some of geological information such as faults and channels, recognize the depositional environment and etc. For extracting accurate information from seismic attributes, the input seismic data needs to be optimally processed. The main objectives of this paper is to showing some of seismic attributes for detecting geological event from a data set in Netherland offshore.

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Neste estudo buscou-se propor e validar modelos matematicos para estimativa da Forca Dinâmica Maxima (FDM) a partir de variaveis preditivas neuromusculares, e verifi car se estes sao sustentados atraves de um processo estatistico de validacao cruzada. Para tal selecionou-se uma amostra composta por 75 mulheres na faixa etaria 18 a 30 anos, todas familiarizadas com Exercicios Resistidos com Pesos (ERP). A amostra foi seccionada em dois grupos: grupo I (n=55) utilizado no processo estatistico de proposicao dos modelos matematicos, e grupo II (n=20) utilizado para o processo de validacao destes modelos. As variaveis independentes foram as neuromusculares Repeticoes Maximas (RMs) realizadas nos exercicios Puxada Frontal (PF) e Flexao de Joelhos (FJ). A variavel dependente foi a FDM mensurada em 10 aparelhos de ERP atraves do teste de 1RM, protocolo de Moura et al. (1997). Utilizou-se da Analise de Regressao Multipla para proposicao dos modelos matematicos, e para verifi car se estes seriam sustentados, utilizou-se o processo de validacao cruzada (Lohman, 1992) com signifi cância de p<0,05. Foram propostos 10 modelos matematicos regressivos baseados em duas variaveis preditivas (RMs), todos altamente signifi cativos (p<0,0001). Contudo, no processo de validacao cruzada somente 04 modelos matematicos sustentaram validade atraves da analise dos criterios adotados. Conclui-se que as variaveis preditivas neuromusculares, isoladamente, apresentam bom poder preditivo da FDM, sustentando assim 04 modelos matematicos a partir delas ajustadas.
TAFRO Syndrome, An Uncommon Presentation in a Pediatric Patient

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

TAFRO syndrome involves a constellation of symptoms including thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis and organomegaly. It was first described in 2010 as a subtype of idiopathic Multicentric Castleman’s Disease (iMCD). This report describes an atypical presentation in a 12-year-old male who suffered significant morbidity and was eventually diagnosed with TAFRO syndrome. Due to overlapping characteristics with other autoimmune processes and paucity of literature in pediatrics, TAFRO syndrome could present as a diagnostic dilemma to pediatric hematologists and pediatricians. Early recognition and timely treatment can help prevent significant morbidity as noted in our patient.
The D-State

THROUGHOUT recorded history man has been fascinated by his dreams, whether he considered them the voyages of his soul, the conveyors of messages from the gods, the perverse products of a poorly oxygenated brain, the psychoses of the sane man or the via regia to the unconscious. Even after Freud's1 great work on dreams, and after it had been accepted that dreams had a meaning in terms of the unconscious wishes of the dreamer, dreaming was considered a fleeting, probably instantaneous phenomenon superimposed on the solid physiologic state of sleep; likewise, the various properties of dreaming, in almost all psychologic . . .

The sociopolitical turn in mathematics education and decolonial theory

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This literature review examines how the theoretical perspectives aligned to the sociopolitical turn in mathematics inform social justice mathematics education. While existing literature has established the importance of social justice frameworks informed by critical theory, there has been limited exploration of critical race theory, poststructuralism and feminist theory, perspectives that offer a broader and more complex understanding of the social and political. After examining how these perspectives contribute to social justice mathematics, we explore the potential contributions of decolonial theory, particularly the way it unsettles accepted notions of social justice. By drawing and building on the sociopolitical turn in mathematics education, this article argues that decolonial thought can also assist in reimagining social justice mathematics education theoretically, methodologically and pedagogically. Ultimately, the article argues that there is no social justice without cognitive/epistemic and ontological justice, meaning that social justice loses ethical and political weight when modernity’s violent epistemic and ontological foundations are not questioned by social justice mathematics education research.
A DIY Theremin

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this chapter, we're going to build an interface that's very similar to the very popular theremin, an electronic musical instrument originally built by Léon Theremin in the 1920s. The theremin allows the performer to have no physical contact with the instrument; he or she can control both the pitch and amplitude of the instrument with two antennae that sense the distance of the performer's hands from it. The instrument uses oscillators to produce sound, making it a purely electronic instrument. In this chapter, we'll replicate the theremin by using two proximity sensors for the controls, and a few potentiometers for some other controls that are available in today's version of the instrument.

Thermal load distribution near the tips of the ALT-II limiter roof on TEXTOR-94

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The aim of these investigations is the description of the power flux on roof-like limiters near the LCFS. Here, the specific subject is the toroidal pump limiter ALT-II of TEXTOR-94. Similar to other plasma facing objects, the surface of ALT-II is shaped to enhance the plasma wetted area; this is achieved by reducing the angle of incidence of the magnetic field to less than 1? for the first 10?mm of the SOL. This small angle of incidence enhances all effects of toroidal non-uniformity as given, for example, by magnetic field ripple. Extensive modelling explains well the observed heating pattern on the limiter surface due to the ripple effect. In contrast to the expectations from density and temperature distributions in the SOL and at the edge of the confined region, an excessive power density is deposited on the first few millimetres near the tip of the limiter roof. Physical effects which could cause this phenomenon are discussed.
Psoriasis vulgaris occurring in a known case of neurofibromatosis type I: A rare association

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is an autosomal dominantly inherited neurocutaneous disorder due to mutations in the neurofibromin (NF) gene that encodes protein NF. NF regulates signal transduction by inactivating RAS proteins. Mutations in the NF-1 gene increases RAS activity causing increased transduction of many growth factors and kinase pathways leading to increased mitosis and occurrence of neoplasms and proliferative conditions such as psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory proliferative condition of the skin in which both genetic and environmental factors have a vital role. The underlying pathogenesis is epidermal proliferation, vascular changes, and inflammatory changes mediated by multiple growth factors of which in particular are epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha etc. We report a rare association of NF-1 with psoriasis occurring by chance or due to decreased NF protein.
Energy Efficient Communications in CDMA Networks: A Game Theoretic Analysis Considering Operating Costs

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

A game-theoretic analysis is used to study the effects of receiver choice and transmit power on the energy efficiency of multi-hop networks in which the nodes communicate using Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA). A Nash equilibrium of the game in which the network nodes can choose their receivers as well as their transmit powers to maximize the total number of bits they transmit per unit of energy spent (including both transmit and operating energy) is derived. The energy efficiencies resulting from the use of different linear multiuser receivers in this context are compared for the non-cooperative game. Significant gains in energy efficiency are observed when multiuser receivers, particularly the linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) receiver, are used instead of conventional matched filter receivers.
Nature-based solutions for coastal protection in the southern Caribbean

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT The coastal shores of Trinidad and Tobago are at high risk (69.5 and 42.7%, respectively) of inundation from storm surges, sea level rise, and coastal erosion. The impacts of these coastal processes are predicted to worsen with climate change. Nature-based solutions utilizing the planting and rehabilitation of mangroves and seagrass beds are proposed. Sustainable green-engineered coastal protection strategies are pertinent for the low-lying coastal regions, as they house 70% of the country's population and roughly 80% of its socio-economic activity. Such measures offer ecological, environmental, social, and economic benefits, not provided by grey engineering, or concrete structures. Nature-based solutions are limited by anthropogenic factors, biotic/abiotic factors, data gaps, legal constraints, and social trends. These have resulted in declines in mangrove and seagrass bed coverage. A more sustainable coastal protection strategy using mangroves and seagrasses can be achieved by addressing these limitations and systematically utilizing various coastal ecological species. Building capacity, community building and outreach, and revising legal approaches and policing measures are necessary to maximize the benefits mangroves and seagrass beds offer as coastal protection measures.
