Statistical Evaluation of Traffic Congestion, Accidents, and Pollution on S.G. Highway, Ahmedabad

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Rapid urbanization and increasing vehicle ownership have significantly strained Ahmedabad’s transportation infrastructure, particularly along the Sarkhej–Gandhinagar (S.G.) Highway—one of the city’s most vital arterial corridors. This study presents a comprehensive statistical evaluation of traffic congestion, accident patterns, environmental impact, public transport usage, and commuter perception along this route. A mixed-methods research design was employed, integrating primary data (manual vehicle counts, Air Quality Index [AQI], noise level measurements, and structured surveys) with secondary data sourced from government records and news reports. Quantitative analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel and Jamovi, applying t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square tests, and Pearson correlation to uncover statistically significant patterns and associations. Key findings indicate that weekday peak-hour traffic volume is significantly higher than on weekends, with intersections such as Somnath Chowk and Thaltej consistently experiencing the highest congestion. A strong positive correlation was found between traffic volume and both AQI and noise levels, underscoring severe environmental concerns. Survey results revealed that over 75% of respondents experience daily congestion, largely due to vehicle overflow and commercial-area crowding. While public dissatisfaction was high, chi-square tests showed no significant association between demographic variables (age, gender, occupation) and transport mode preference or congestion impact, suggesting the issue is widespread. The study concludes with recommendations for optimizing signal timings, expanding public transport infrastructure, enforcing pollution controls, and addressing accident-prone zones through engineering interventions. By offering a data-driven and multidimensional understanding of traffic behavior, this research provides actionable insights for urban planners, traffic authorities, and policymakers aiming to improve mobility, safety, and environmental sustainability along the S.G. Highway.
THE THERAPEUTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DOSE RESPONSE CURVE FOR ANTILYMPHOCYTIC SERUM

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY In mice treated with antilymphocyte serum (ALS), the curve relating dose of serum to number of antibody-forming cells or graft-rejecting cells is hyperbolic, i.e., log cell number is inversely related to log dose. As a consequence, it is shown on theoretical grounds that, if a fixed total amount of serum is administered over a fixed total period, regimens of small frequent doses should be, within limits, more effective than regimens of large, infrequent doses. This prediction has been confirmed by comparing the effects of different regimens of ALS on the formation of hemolytic plaque-forming cells (PFC) in the mouse spleen after injection of sheep red cells and on rejection of skin grafts.
Reduced complexity control design for symmetric LPV systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We use symmetry to reduce the computational complexity of designing parameter-dependent controllers and Lyapunov functions. We propose three complementary methods for exploiting symmetry to reduce the complexity. The first method uses symmetry to reduce the number of design variables. The second method uses symmetry to reduce the dimension of the design variables. And the third method reduces the number of linear matrix inequalities that the design variables must satisfy. We apply our reduced complexity control design to a building control problem. We show that, for this example, our method leads to an exponential decrease in the number of design variables and linear matrix inequalities.
Generalized Markov branching trees

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Motivated by the gene tree/species tree problem from statistical phylogenetics, we extend the class of Markov branching trees to a parametric family of distributions on fragmentation trees that satisfies a generalized Markov branching property . The main theorems establish important statistical properties of this model, specifically necessary and sufficient conditions under which a family of trees can be constructed consistently as sample size grows. We also consider the question of attaching random edge lengths to these trees.
A New Probabilistic Model for High-pH Stress Corrosion Cracking

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) poses a threat to integrity of buried pipelines in many parts of the world. In North America there is now a requirement that integrity management plans should address SCC and a direct assessment methodology, SCCDA, for managing the threat due to SCC, is now becoming established. Like general corrosion or fatigue, SCC is a time dependent deterioration process that leads to progressive weakness of the pipe wall eventually causing failure as a leak or rupture, if not managed. There are indeed two known forms of SCC; High-pH and near neutral-pH SCC. The focus of this paper is on High-pH SCC. High-pH SCC involves a number of phases including incubation, initiation, anodic growth, coalescence, mechanical growth and final failure. Factors affecting these processes include temperature, static and cyclic stress, soil conditions, type of coating and level of Cathodic Protection. Some of these factors may vary seasonally. The temporal development of SCC damage is thus both complex and subject to significant uncertainty. The purpose of this paper is to describe a detailed probabilistic model that addresses the various phases of High-pH SCC taking account of uncertainty in the relevant influencing factors. The model determines the likely times to coalescence and to grow to a critical size thus providing a time dependent probability of failure. The model gives a clear indication of which parameters should be managed in order to reduce the likelihood of failure to an acceptable level. The model provides the basis of a powerful decision making tool for the purpose of managing High pH SCC. Consequently, the model can be used in conjunction with relevant in-line inspection data and/or above ground survey data to provide an effective SCC integrity management tool. The model is illustrated through a numerical example and the use of the model as an integrity management tool is clearly demonstrated.
Molecular Thermodynamic Modeling of the Morphology Transitions in a Solution of a Diblock Copolymer Containing a Weak Polyelectrolyte Chain

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

For a solution of the diblock copolymer composed of a hydrophobic block and a weak polyelectrolyte block, we obtain regions of stable aggregate morphologies in pH-solution salinity plane with the aid of the self-consistent field theory in the strong-segregation approximation. Lamellar, cylindrical, branched cylindrical, and spherical aggregates have been considered in the large interval of pH and salinity. The morphology stability maps are obtained to help control self-assembly of aggregates by variation of pH and salinity of the medium. In qualitative agreement with experiment, our calculations predict the coexistence of long wormlike micelles with branched and spherical micelles in transition zones. We compare the results of our calculations with available computer simulation and experimental data on micelles and brushes (planar and curved) formed by a diblock copolymer with one polyelectrolyte block. We show that for both weak and strong polyelectrolytes the agreement between the theory and experiment is satisfactory in most systems.
Tecoma stans Floral Extract-Based Biosynthesis for Enhanced Surface Plasmon-Coupled Emission and a Preliminary Study on Fluoroimmunoassay

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

We demonstrate the synthesis of biogenic supported silver spiked star architectures and their application to increase the electromagnetic field intensity at its tips that enhance plasmon-coupled emission. Tecoma stans floral extract has been used to synthesize silver nanocubes and spiked stars. We observe ∼445-fold and ∼680-fold enhancements in spacer and cavity configurations, respectively, in the SPCE platform. The hotspot intensity and Purcell factor are evaluated by carrying out finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. Time-based studies are presented to modulate the sharpness of the edges wherein an increase in the tip sharpness with the increase in reaction time up to 5 h is observed. The unique morphology of the silver architectures allowed us to utilize them in biosensing application. A SPCE-based fluoroimmunoassay was performed, achieving a 1.9 pg/mL limit of detection of TNF-α cytokine. This combination of anisotropic architectures, SPCE and immunoassay prove to be a powerful platform for the ultrasensitive detection of biomarkers in surface-bound assays.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Copyright © 2012 Motohisa Yamamoto et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Objectives. The characteristic features of Mikulicz’s disease (MD) are diffuse enlargement of the lacrimal and submandibular glands, elevated levels of serum immunoglobulin (Ig)G4, and abundant infiltration of IgG4-positive plasmacytes into both glands. No disease index is available to properly evaluate MD, so we developed a functional assessment of MD, the Mikulicz’s disease activity questionnaire (MAQ), and evaluated its clinical efficacy.Methods. We selected 18 patients who were either being treated for MD or who had presented with recurrence. The patients completed a self-assessment and were scored according to the MAQ sheet during each visit between December 2009 and August 2011. Assessment items were in regard to increases or decreases in lacrimal and salivary gland enlargement and severity of sicca symptoms. Results. On the first visits, MAQ scores were high, but scores decreased rapidly as treatment progressed. When doses of glucocorticoid were reduced, some patients showed increased scores. Dry-symptom scores increased initially. MAQ scores for patients with recurrent MD gradually increased over several months before relapse. However, some patients displayed no elevation in MAQ scores due to relapses at other sites. Conclusion. MAQ score
Epitranscriptome marks detection and localization of RNA modifying proteins in mammalian ovarian follicles

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

Abstract Background Most of the resources that support the early development of the embryo are stored in the oocyte. Clearing of maternal resources and activation of the embryonic genome to produce its own mRNA transcripts marks the maternal-to-embryo transition. Dependence on stored mRNA can last from a few hours to several days, depending on animal species. The mechanisms regulating stabilization and recruitment of stored maternal transcripts have not yet been described in full detail but are known to involve reversible polyadenylation and modulation of 3’UTR-mediated elements. RNA epigenetic modifications, new players in this field, have an important role in RNA regulation and stabilization. Results The objectives of this study were first to determine if some of post-transcriptional methylation of stored mRNA is greater in oocytes than in somatic cells. We found that m6A, known to be the most prevalent and involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism and physiological functions, is particularly abundant in porcine oocyte mRNA compared to liver used as a somatic tissue reference. The second objective was to compare the epitranscriptome machinery, such as methyltransferases (“writers”), binding proteins (“readers”) and demethylases (“erasers”) catalyzing the different process, in follicles and oocytes of different mammalian species by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. The expression and localization patterns of these proteins differ between mice, pigs and cows ovaries and oocytes. m5C-associated proteins were generally less abundant. In contrast, m6A-associated proteins were expressed strongly during the early and late stages of folliculogenesis. Transzonal projections were found to contain more granules bearing the m5C mark in mice but both m5C and m6A methylation marks in association with mature oocytes of pigs and cows. Eraser proteins showed the greatest interspecies diversity in terms of distribution in the germinal tissues. Conclusions So far, few studies have looked at the oocyte and ovarian epitranscriptomic profile. Our findings indicate that a hitherto unrecognized species-specific layer of transcript regulation occurs at the RNA level and might be consequential during the oocyte transcriptional silencing period.

Sagesse et langage chez Tchouang-tseu. Recherche des éléments constitutifs d’une philosophie thérapeutique par l’analyse du problème de la transmission de la sagesse

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The access to wisdom question intrinsically raises issues regarding the possibility and the means of its transmission. In this thesis, I attempt to identify the gaps between wisdom and language as barriers to the transmission of wisdom. The thesis analyses Chang tzu’s thoughts on this issue, focusing on his approach relative to the limits of consciousness – to define what wisdom is and who we can reach it – and then, relative to language’s limits in order to understand what can block its transmission. This leads me to expand the initial question to see whether there remains a possibility for the wise person, to talk about wisdom without falling in the traps inherent to language and, betraying wisdom. This will finally lead us to explore the possible rules of a ‘therapeutic’ philosophy – aiming at making one wise – that would show the way to wisdom.
Ultrathin MXene film interaction with electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The quick progress in communication technologies demands superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. However, achieving a high shielding effectiveness (SE) with thin films, which is needed for microscale, flexible, and wearable devices, through absorption of EM radiation remains a challenge. 2D titanium carbide MXene, Ti3C2Tx, has been shown to efficiently reflect electromagnetic waves. In this paper, we investigated the electromagnetic shielding of ultrathin printed Ti3C2Tx films and recorded absorption up to 50% for 4 nm-thick films. This behavior is explained by impedance matching. Analysis of the sheet impedance in the X-band frequency range allows us to correlate the EMI shielding mechanism with the electrical conductivity measured within the same range. The average bulk in-plane conductivity for 4 to 40 nm-thick films reaches 106 S/m, while the average relaxation time is estimated at around 2.3 ps. Our figures of merit are similar to those reported for ultrathin metal films, such as gold, showing that an abundant MXene material can replace noble metals. We demonstrate that the MXene conductivity mechanism does not change from direct current to THz. The conventional method of reporting EMI SE is correlated with absolute values of transmitted, reflected, and absorbed power, which allows us to interpret previous results on MXene EMI shielding. Considering the easy deposition of thin MXenes films from solution onto a variety of surfaces, our findings offer an attractive alternative for shielding microscale devices and personal electronics.

Multi-agent Collaboration Engine for Supply Chain Management

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract—To improve the performance of Supply chain decisions (SCM) , agents technology is slowly becoming the best alternative. In general, most of the components in SCM work in isolation and achieving coordination among SCM partners turns out to be a difficult proposition. But in a multi-agent system (MAS) , an agent while making a local optimal decision, it sees how it will effect the other agents and in case required it coordinates with other agents to workout for a new alternative. In SCM, what is required is how to improve the performance. Today SCM needs to work in coordination with various like minded organizations to produce and supply to multiple market. In such circumstance MAS,with beneficial features like autonomous, collaborative, coordinate and intelligence with ability to work in a distributed environment provides a best platform to make SCM performing at its best. The project aims to propose an integrated frame work based on multi-agent collaboration and case-based reasoning that can resolve various collaboration issue in supply chain. To show the frame work’s feasibility, we implement a prototype system(multi-agent collaboration Engine supply chain management) MACE-SCM.MACE-SCM provides more flexible and extensible solution to help address emerging uncertainties Keywords- Multi-agent; Case-Based Reasoning; RDQL (Retrieval Data Query Language); I.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Pea seeds were tempered at moisture contents of 12.0?0.1, 13.0?0.1, 14.0?0.1 and 15.0?0.3%. The seeds with different moisture contents were then milled and fractioned according to the particle size of 53, 106, 212, 425 and 850 æm. Tempering the pea seeds (12.0?0.1, 13.0?0.1, 14.0?0.1 and 15.0?0.3%) did not significantly affect the mass and protein fraction in comparison with the pea seeds that are not tempered (11.45?0.05%). For the production of pea protein isolate, aqueous-solvent extraction method was used. The protein was extracted with an alkali solution from the ground pea-seeds and precipitated from the extract by bringing the pH down to isoelectric point (pH=4.5). The precipitated protein was separated from the supernatant by centrifugation. The effects of extraction parameters on the yield of extraction such as pH, particle size, temperature, solvent to solid ratio, and salt were studied. The maximum yields were obtained at these conditions; pH: 12.0 for the alkalinity of the extraction medium, 53 æm for the particle size, 40?C for the extraction temperature, 5.0 for the solvent to solid ratio and 0.0 M for the saline concentration. At these extraction conditions, the maximum protein recovery was 72.75% resulting in a product containing 93.29% protein on a dry basis.
