Distributed Sensor Network Software Development Testing through Simulation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The distributed sensor network (DSN) presents a novel and highly complex computing platform with dif culties and opportunities that are just beginning to be explored. The potential of sensor networks extends from monitoring for threat reduction, to conducting instant and remote inventories, to ecological surveys. Developing and testing for robust and scalable applications is currently practiced almost exclusively in hardware. The Distributed Sensors Simulator (DSS) is an infrastructure that allows the user to debug and test software for DSNs independent of hardware constraints. The exibility of DSS allows developers and researchers to investigate topological, phenomenological, networking, robustness and scaling issues, to explore arbitrary algorithms for distributed sensors, and to defeat those algorithms through simulated failure. The user speci es the topology, the environment, the application, and any number of arbitrary failures; DSS provides the virtual environmental embedding.
Notes on the ethnoicthyology of fishermen from the Tocantins river (Brazil)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Ethnobiology includes the study of how populations perceive and classify organisms. This study focuses on the utilization and classification of fishes by fishermen from the Tocantins river. The study area is located between the cities of Imperatriz and Estreito (Maranhão and Tocantins States). Interviews with fishermen and collection of fish species were performed from October 1987 to June 1988. The criteria used by fishermen to classify fish species are mainly morphological, such as related to body shape and coloration. Fish habitat is also an information used in folk classification. Terrestrial plants and animals are a reference for some fish names. Fishermen showed a deeper knowledge and detailed classification of species of fish used for food, sale, or medicine. Folk classification represents the knowledge a population has on its environment, and it is more detailed on species which are part of its realized niche as indicated by this study.
DESIGN OF ACADEMIC INFORMATION SYSTEM BASED ON BOT TELEGRAM IN SMART CAMPUS CONCEPT

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The goal for many education institutions is the existence of the Smart Campus concept. Smart Campus is the concept of a smart campus to provide maximum service to the entire academic community by monitoring and managing existing resources effectively and efficiently. Smart Campus can also provide appropriate information to students or campus institutions in every activity, or even in unexpected events. In this research, it is proposed to maximize the academic information system which is integrated with the Telegram messenger application. This Telegram application can be obtained for free, lightweight and multiplatform by having a fairly complete and more developed Bot API. Students get real time notifications and can chat / communicate with the Telegram Bot which is designed to provide all the information on STTAL. The admin can upload lecture material into the Telegram Bot then students can download it from the Telegram Bot. There are 11 commands designed in this study as a prototype. This research was tested by trying all the commands provided. This Bot Telegram application is very helpful for study program staff and lecturers to convey information to students especially using this application is quite easy.

Cloning and expression of isoform 2 of the human plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase. Functional properties of the enzyme and its splicing products

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

Full-length cDNAs for the three human plasma membrane Ca2+ pump isoforms 2 (PMCA2) differently spliced at the A site were constructed and transferred to baculovirus. The corresponding proteins were expressed after infection in Sf9 insect cells. The proteins were expressed at high levels and retained the canonical properties of the plasma membrane Ca2+ pump. The alternative splicing process failed to produce functional differences detectable with the methods used. The Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity of the PMCA2 pumps had a 5-10-fold higher affinity for calmodulin than the PMCA4 pump expressed in the same system. Experiments on the formation of the phosphoenzyme intermediate from ATP revealed that the PMCA2 pumps had higher affinity for ATP than did the PMCA4 counterpart. The response of the two pump types to activating acidic phospholipids was the same.
[Effect of Dexmedetomidine Combined with Propofol or Sevoflurane General Anesthesia on Stress and Postoperative Quality of Recovery(QoR-40) in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: To explore the effects of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol or sevoflurane general anesthesia on stress and postoperative quality of recovery (QoR-40) in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods: Two hundreds patients with laparoscopic gastrointestinal tumor resection (100 cases of gastric tumor and 100 cases of colon tumor) from March 2016 to January 2018 at Henan Cancer Hospital,were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=50): group SP (gastric neoplasm + propofol anaesthesia), group SS (gastric tumor + sevoflurane anaesthesia), group CP (colon tumor+ propofol anaesthesia), and group CS (colon tumor + sevoflurane anaesthesia). The four groups were all induced by dexmedetomidine, etomidate, sufentanil and cisatracurium. The patients in group SP and group CP were administered with propofol, and the patients in group SS and group CS were given general anesthesia with sevoflurane. The results of the operation and the quality of recovery were compared. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure change, norepinephrine, epinephrine and cortisol were measured in T0 (before anesthesia started), T1 (30 min after surgery), T2 (10 min after tracheal catheter extraction), T3 (24 h after surgery), T4 (postoperative 48 h), respectively. The postoperative recovery quality after operation was evaluated by QoR-40. Results: There were no significant differences in operation time, bleeding volume and other operation conditions between each group (all P>0.05), and also no significant differences in heart rate and mean arterial pressure from T0 to T4 time points (all P>0.05). There were significant differences in the levels of norepinephrine and cortisol among the four groups at T1 and T2 time points (F=54.135,140.733,12.037, 21.644,all P<0.05). The levels of norepinephrine and cortisol in SP group at T1 and T2 time points were less than SS group (all P<0.05). Similar, those in CP group were less than CS group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference among the 4 groups at other time points (all P>0.05). The scores of VAS and RS in SP group were (0.9±0.4) and (0.8±0.4), which were lower than that of SS group(1.4±0.5,1.4±0.5,all P<0.05).At the same time, the time of regain consciousness was (9.3±1.4) min, which was also lower than SS group [(10.1±1.4)min,P<0.05]. The scores of VAS and RS in CP group were (0.8±0.5) and (0.8±0.4), which were lower than that of CS group(1.4±0.5,1.4±0.4,all P<0.05).At the same time, the time of regain consciousness was (9.2±1.2)min,which was also lower than CS group [(10.1±1.2)min,P<0.05]. The recovery quality scores of the SP and CP group were (164±11) and (168±11) after 24 hours, which were greater than that of the SS and CS group(146±10, 143±12, all P<0.05). Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine combined with propofol in laparoscopic surgery can effectively suppress intraoperative stress, reduce postoperative pain and agitation, and improve the quality of postoperative recovery.
MYCN gene polymorphisms and Wilms tumor susceptibility in Chinese children

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

Abstract Background Wilms tumor, derived from embryonic cells, accounts for a large proportion of pediatric renal tumors. MYCN encoded by MYCN proto‐oncogene, a member of the MYC family, is a BHLH transcription factor. It plays a critical role in tumorigenesis and predicts poor clinical outcomes in various types of cancer. However, the role of MYCN remained unclarified in Wilms tumor. In this study, we investigated the association between MYCN gene polymorphisms and Wilms tumor susceptibility. Methods Four MYCN gene polymorphisms (rs57961569 G > A, rs9653226 T > C, rs13034994 A > G, and rs60226897 G > A) were genotyped in 183 cases and 603 controls. Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the association between MYCN gene polymorphisms and Wilms tumor susceptibility. Results Overall, no significant association was found for any of the four MYCN gene polymorphisms. Interestingly, in the stratification analysis, the rs57961569 was found to be associated with decreased Wilms tumor susceptibility in the children older than 18 months (AOR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.42‐1.00, P = .050). Moreover, older children carrying 2‐4 risk genotypes were at increased risk of Wilms tumor (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.001‐2.40, P = .0497). Haplotype GCAA was shown to significantly increased Wilms tumor risk (AOR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.12‐5.14, P = .024). Conclusion Our study demonstrated that these MYCN gene polymorphisms might be low penetrant variants in Wilms tumor.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract

PurposeThe scenario of global health crisis due to SARS-CoV-2 pandemia combined with the shortage of resources in many countries has justified numerous studies to design easily replicable and economic respiratory support devices. We have developed an adapted diving mask (ADM) to be used as an autonomous and safe respiratory support. The objective was to prove a minimum positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) with the ADM without any adverse events.MethodsBench tests was done in 22 healthy volunteers with our ADM prototype. Expiratory-inspiratory flow and pressure were registered apart from blood and transcutaneous hypercapnia.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences in the baseline analysis results and after therapy, except in pO2. Mean PEEP measured was 8.2 ± 4.2 cmH2O with a peak measured pressure of 20 cm H2O.ConclussionsThe ADM has shown good tolerance and a therapeutic manteining PEEP with no evidence of any deletereous effect or hypercapnia with its continuous use.
Recent advances in understanding the relationship between adenosine metabolism and the function of T and B lymphocytes in diabetes.

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

Adenosine plays an important role in physiology of several organs. Its turnover inside and outside of the cell is controlled by several enzymes and transport processes. The action of extracellular adenosine is mediated via at least four receptors named A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3). Recent studies have reported that adenosine is a significant mediator of regulatory lymphocyte function. Numerous data indicates that adenosine affects T lymphocyte activation, proliferation and lymphocyte-mediated cytolysis. Impaired lymphocyte functioning and enhanced susceptibility to infections is a common feature of human diabetes. This review collects data bringing us closer to understanding the disturbances in lymphocytes adenosine homeostasis in diabetes. Adenosine receptors and nucleoside transporters are targets for potential drugs in many pathophysiological situations. Therefore, action of adenosine on lymphocyte function in diabetes may be important target for modulation of immune responses and understanding of mechanisms leading to several pathologies of immune cells observed in diabetes.
Methodology for holistic assessment of dependability in wireless automation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper is dedicated to the growing role of dependability assessment for wireless networks in industrial automation systems in particular with respect to future flexible production processes. First an overview is given over definitions of dependability and its parameters. Terms are classified in order to derive the key terms for wireless communication with respect to automation applications. Dependability parameters for assets of wireless communication are discussed. Relevant dependability parameters including an up state function (USF) is proposed. The USF can be used in order to assess the dependability of complex wireless automation applications independent of wireless technology. The use of the USF is demonstrated with exemplary measurements of a wireless LAN system.
A New Mechanism for Gamma-Ray Bursts in SN Type I Explosions. I. Weak Magnetic Field

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We propose a new mechanism for high energy gamma ray burst in Supernova type I (SNI) explosion. Presupernova is assumed to be a binary system comprised of a red giant and a white dwarf with a wind accretion. The accretion flow terminates by the accretion shock in the vicinity of the white dwarf at the distance of the order of the accretion radius. The gas inside the accretion radius constitutes the main body of a target for gamma ray production by $pp$ collisions.\par The supernova explosion and the shock propagation in the white dwarf result in the hydrodynamical acceleration of the outer layers of the star. The spectrum of accelerated particles is steep and the maximum energy does not exceed $1000$ $GeV$.\par The gamma ray burst is produced due to interaction of the accelerated particles with the gas in the binary system. Most of the photons have energies about $100$ $MeV$, the total number of the emitted photons is between $10^{46}$ and $10^{47}$. The gamma ray burst might have one or two precursors. The first one is produced during the shock breakout when the shock approaches the star surface and crosses it.\par The calculations are valid in the case of a weak magnetic field. The case of strong magnetic field will be considered in part II (in preparation).

Cosmic Emotions; or, Why Is the Universe Joyful according to Plato’s Timaeus and Empedocles?

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Plato and Empedocles depict a universe that manifests beauty, goodness, reason, and bliss. This article aims to investigate why both philosophers felt it important to describe a cosmos that participates in a human emotion such as happiness. First, it will be shown how both Plato and Empedocles could not dispense with embodied human experience, including emotional experience, in the formation of cosmological concepts. Indeed, their respective cosmoi are constructed through notions derived from the conceptual domain of human agency. Second, attention will also be paid to Plato and Empedocles’ reconstruction of the notion of the happy life. The main argument advanced here is that both Plato and Empedocles conceive of their (macro)cosmos as a paradigm of behavior, so that the conception of a happy universe has a significant ethical function at the level of the microcosm, ultimately demonstrating the centrality of the concept of happiness in the doctrines of both authors. byChiara FerellaJohannes Gutenberg University, Mainzferella@unimainz.de

[Risk of development of false aneurysm and graft infection after aorta-femoral bypass graft. Retrospective study. Report of 211 cases].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Anastomotic aneurysm and infection of arterial graft are complications that occur late after aorto-femoral bypass graft surgery. The objective of this paper is to calculate the percentage of patients free of these complications after 10 years. From 1966 to 1983, 211 patients were operated on consecutively to treat aortoiliac atherosclerotic obstructive disease. There were 173 (82%) men and 38 (18%) women of mean age 54.7 +/- 9.1 years. Forty-one percent of patients were operated on for limb salvage. Aorto-bi-femoral bypass was performed in 196 (92.9%) patients; the unilateral aorto-femoral bypass in 8 (3.8%) and the aorto-femoral to one side and aorto-iliac to the order in 7 (3.3%). In 28 patients, the bypass was associated with femoro-popliteal bypass (21 patients) or reconstruction of visceral arteries (7 patients). The anastomosis was end-to-side both in the aorta and in the femoral arteries, made of synthetic sutures. Diagnosis of the complications was made by physical examination, ultrasonography, CT scan or arteriography. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to determine the percentage of patients without complications. After 24, 60 and 120 months, 98.5%, 92.6% and 85.4% of the patients were free of anastomotic aneurysm, respectively and after the same periods, 97.3%, 90.4% and 75.2% of the patients respectively were free of graft infection (table 2). We conclude that the risk of developing complications is a permanent risk and increases with time, but the use of grafts cannot be invalidated.
Private Tutoring as a Relief or Burden? Changes in Parental Beliefs About Young Children's English Learning in China

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract The increasing trend of early English education has promoted the rapid growth of English private tutoring (EPT) for children, which garners attention in research as a global educational phenomenon. In China, EPT for children experienced a fervent expansion under neoliberalism. However, a recent policy (Double‐Reduction Policy) has banned EPT for preschoolers (age 3–6), creating a unique context where state‐led neoliberalism prevails. This study employs narrative inquiry to investigate the changes in beliefs about young children's English learning among three Chinese parents who enrolled their children in EPT. Data were gleaned through interviews, observations, informal conversations, and collection of parent‐recorded videos and artifacts over a year of fieldwork. The findings reveal that parents hold contradictory beliefs at different times, and the belief changes were interacted inextricably with the tensions experienced by these parents, including pressure from EPT and challenges from the policy. EPT was initially perceived as relief but eventually became burdensome. This study sheds light on the dynamic and intricate nature of parental beliefs, as well as the tensions arising from the interplay between neoliberalism and policy shifts in China. The findings have implications for parents, TESOL practitioners, and policymakers who involved in English education decisions for young children.
