"1940" Pillar Closeup

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

About Edward Leedskalnin:\nEdward Leedskalnin was born in 1887 in Riga, Latvia, to a family of stonemasons. Little is known about his childhood. At the age of 26 he became engaged to a girl named Annie Scuffs, who broke off the engagement the day before the wedding ceremony. Heartbroken by this, he emigrated to North America in 1912. He lived in several places across the United States and Canada before contracting tuberculosis and moving to Florida for the warm climate.\nWhile in Florida, Leedskalnin began work on a large sculpture park called the Rock Gate Park, currently known as the Coral Castle, out of coral rock. He used only hand tools and never had any assistance, primarily working at night for privacy. He moved again in 1936 after hearing about plans to build a subdivision nearby and spent the next three years transporting his sculptures. He finished erecting the final walls in 1940.\nLeedskalnin became ill in 1953 and passed away, leaving the sculpture park to his nephew who would in turn sell it to a couple form Illinois. The only written records he left behind were several pamphlets he wrote on magnetism and his personal political and moral beliefs. The lack of documentation and eye witnesses has lead to speculation as to how Leedskalnin was able to move the large pieces of coral rock he used to build the park. Coral Castle was added to the National Register for Historic Places in 1984 and is currently open as a tourist attraction.\nImages and film are provided for educational purposes only.

Noise Analysis of Heavy Earth Moving Machinery Deployed in Opencast Mines and Development of Suitable Maintenance Guidelines for its Attenuation - Part 1

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Worldwide, increasingly stringent regulations are coming into force, limiting the exposure of workers to industrial noise. Industrial noise and its consequences is thus growing in importance to employers, local and central government officials, trade unions, occupational hygienists and physicians and insurers. India is not an exception for this. The mining industry in India is facing serious problem of noise due to increasing demand for minerals for which large capacity machines are being deployed producing high noise levels. To know the status and to control the noise, the S&T Department of the Ministry of Coal, Government of India sponsored a research project in the area of noise pollution and its control for opencast projects. To start with, a detailed literature survey was carried out in the area of noise pollution and its control in the mining industry, embracing equipment like from Heavy Earth Moving Machinery (HEMM), compressors, workshops, pneumatic drills, processing plants etc., to know the quantum of work done in India and worldwide. The various aspects studied in this project were the daily noise dose and/or noise exposure level of the operators of various types of heavy earth moving machinery and its assessment, noise characteristics at different operating conditions of the machine, analysis of noise coming out from different parts of the machine, analysis of noise at different distances from the machine for different frequency components and the most important one i.e., impact of periodic maintenance on the noise characteristics of machines and to find out with which maintenance schedule there is maximum fluctuation in the noise level and to evolve a technique for attenuating the noise generated from these machines as well as to reduce the operator's exposure to high noise levels. This paper highlights the results of this research project.

TWO-SCALE APPROACH FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TIME-FRACTIONAL DIFFUSION PROBLEMS IN HETEROGENEOUS MEDIA

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this study, we develop a strategy for the fractional analysis of time-fractional diffusion problems in the Caputo sense. Initially, we apply fractional complex transform (FCT) to convert the fractional ordered problems into its differential parts. Then, we use homotopy perturbation scheme (HPS) to compute the iterative series solutions in the shape of He’s polynomials. This approach has significant results without any assumptions or restrictive variables. The derived components are leading to the convergent results of the problem when [Formula: see text]. The validity of proposed technique is investigated by addressing two numerical applications. We provide the variant graphical structures of the derived results and compared it with the precise solution. These results yield the validity and dependability of the suggested approach for the fractional ordered problems.
INCLUSION OF TRADITIONAL AZOREAN SONGS IN MUSICAL LEARNING - INFORMAL PRACTICES IN VIOLIN TEACHING

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Portuguese Traditional Music is often overlooked in formal teaching at music schools in Portugal. Furthermore, there has been little research into its use in the classroom and the informal learning practices associated with it. Thus, an Educational Project was developed and implemented in 2021/2022, at the Regional Conservatory of Ponta Delgada (CRPD), involving 7 violin students aged between 9 and 14 years and focused on learning songs from the Traditional Music of the Azores. These songs were prepared in class using informal learning practices – auditory learning and analysis, the use of recordings, memorisation without the use of sheet music, improvisation, etc. – and presented at a concert. Additionally, a research study was conducted to analyse the effects of such intervention on the motivation, learning and attitudes of the students, as well as the perceptions developed by the students, their parents, the teachers, and the general public involved in this experience. The study also aimed to assess the feasibility of combining formal and informal learning practices in violin teaching at the CRPD and to evaluate its implications for the preservation of regional cultural identity. To this end, qualitative data were collected, through direct observation of classes with field notes, audiovisual recordings, semi-structured interviews with the students, anonymous questionnaires to the parents and the audience present at the concert, and 27 violin teachers. This data was subjected to content analysis, namely by organising it into categories and sub-categories. The results show that the inclusion of Azorean Traditional Music, using informal learning practices, had a positive effect on the students' motivation, enhancing the development of technical, musical, cognitive, and social skills. In addition, the Azorean Traditional Music concert proved to be an effective means of disseminating and valuing the region's cultural heritage, boosting the students' identity development, and preserving the region's cultural identity.

Oncology Clinical Trials Targeting Members of the Cadherin Superfamily: A Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT The cadherin superfamily of proteins is critical for cell-cell interactions and demonstrates tissue-specific expression profiles. In cancers, disruption of cell-cell adhesion is frequently associated with oncogenesis and metastasis. As such, these proteins have been the targets of multiple attempts to develop novel therapeutics in malignancy. This review article discusses prior and current clinical trials targeting the cadherin proteins.
Vitamin E and cancer prevention: Studies with different forms of tocopherols and tocotrienols

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract α‐Tocopherol (α‐T) is the major form of vitamin E (VE) in animals and has the highest activity in carrying out the essential antioxidant functions of VE. Because of the involvement of oxidative stress in carcinogenesis, the cancer prevention activity of α‐T has been studied extensively. Lower VE intake or nutritional status has been shown to be associated with increased cancer risk, and supplementation of α‐T to populations with VE insufficiency has shown beneficial effects in lowering the cancer risk in some intervention studies. However, several large intervention studies with α‐T conducted in North America have not demonstrated a cancer prevention effect. More recent studies have centered on the γ‐ and δ‐forms of tocopherols and tocotrienols (T3). In comparison with α‐T, these forms have much lower systemic bioavailability but have shown stronger cancer‐preventive activities in many studies in animal models and cell lines. γ‐T3 and δ‐T3 generally have even higher activities than γ‐T and δ‐T. In this article, we review recent results from human and laboratory studies on the cancer‐preventive activities of different forms of tocopherols and tocotrienols, at nutritional and pharmacological levels. We aim to elucidate the possible mechanisms of the preventive actions and discuss the possible application of the available information for human cancer prevention by different VE forms.
Design and development of a mock circulation loop for blood pumps

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Congestive heart failure is a condition where insufficient blood is circulated around the body resulting in poor perfusion and multiple organ failure. Just in America alone, heart failure accounts for approximately 250,000 deaths yearly. With the limited number of hearts available for transplant, patients must seek other alternative. However with the use of left ventricular assist device (LVAD), the patients’ life quality will improve. However before a LVAD can be implanted, they must first be tested in an experimental flow loop. These mock circulatory loop are use to set the standard for testing pump while varying the different hemodynamic parameters. The main objective is to design and make alteration to the mock circulatory loop to further improve it. Further modification has been done to the set up; a pulsating pump has been fabricated and added to the loop to replicate the function of a heart. The aim of the piston pump is to supply the mock circulatory loop a constant flow rate of 5 liters per minute and a differential pressure of 100mmHg to simulate as closely as possible the actual human physiologic system condition. In addition to that, a mock circulation loop was set up to test run the piston pump. The result showed that the current setting of the pump is powerful enough to meet the required flow and pressure. In further works, addition of materials and items to increase the complexity of the loop, usage of other fluid mediums to conduct the experiment and modification to certain parts can be carried out.

Kinematic and aerodynamic analysis of a Microraptor-inspired foldable wing mechanism

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Bio-inspired mechanisms have opened new avenues of research to understand the flying capabilities of birds. While extensive studies have explored the aerodynamics and kinematics of bird flapping motions, limited attention has been given to the folding motion. This paper introduces a foldable wing mechanism inspired by avian anatomy, specifically drawing inspiration from Microraptor aerodynamics. Employing the screw theory approach, we analyze the kinematics of the mechanism and conduct parametric calculations. By segmenting the mechanism and integrating the solutions, we develop an algorithm that demonstrates favorable power transmission, enabling the wing to remain extended with minimal actuation forces. We further employ position analysis to investigate the system’s functionality analytically. To optimize the mechanism, we utilize the gradient descent method. We validate the achieved momentum and velocities through an illustrative example by solving individual four-bar segments and transmitting the outputs to adjacent segments. The study utilizes detailed 3D modeling techniques employing SolidWorks software to accurately represent the wing designs. The results obtained provide valuable insights into the aerodynamic behavior of Microraptor, by comparing the coefficients of lift and drag in graphical form and contribute to the advancement of micro-aerial vehicle design.

PreliminaryGeological Investigation for Poly-metallic Deposits in Khera North Block (Thanaghazi), Alwar District, Rajasthan

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The rocks exposed around Thanaghazi town are part of the Thanaghazi Formation of the Delhi Supergroup.The rocks exposed in the area are carbon phyllite, cherty quartzite, tremolite bearing dolomitic marble and felsic meta-volcanics which have a general trend of NW-SE.The litho-units have suffered three phases of deformation.The cherty quartzite acts as the capping rock of Khera North block.The field characteristics of these rocks include their medium to fine grained size, dark grey colour of carbon phyllite to white to off-white colour of cherty quartzite, the occurrence of tremolite as long prismatic crystals in fine grained dolomitic marble.The surface indications of mineralization in the area are manifested by the presence of old workings, greenish colour malachite stains (Cu2CO3(OH)2), ferruginisation and the fresh specks of sulfides.The sulfides, such as chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite occur as disseminations, stringers, streaks, veins and at places as massive zones and layers and indicate the presence of poly-metallic sulfide deposits in the area.
Baba Is You: Doing Things With Words

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Baba Is You is a 2D electronic game in which the player-controlled character pushes word-blocks around in order to build sentences, which make up the rules governing the simulated environment. With Baba Is You as the case in point, we bring up parallels between video games and Wolfgang Iser’s reader-response theory, J.L. Austin’s pragmatics, and Gregory Bateson’s levels of learning. By considering self-reference paradoxes, metalanguage, and the map-territory distinction, Baba Is You becomes an intuitive philosophic playground by enticing players to question not only language and its uses, but some general conceptions about not just video games, but life itself.

New physics searches with LUX and LZ

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The frontier of experimental particle physics research, especially astroparticle physics, frequently involves the detection of signals that are both rare (fewer than an event per year per kilogram), and small (energy depositions at the keV scale). A prime example is the direct search for dark matter, although other signatures for new physics are also being sought, such as axions and various neutrino signals. The key technology that has evolved to meet this challenge is that of the ultra low background two-phase time projection chamber, deployed deep underground. The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) instrument was a leading
device of this type. Now dismantled to make way for its successor, analysis of legacy data continues. The main scientific results of LUX are presented. With 50 times larger fiducial (usable) mass, and increased background rejection power, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is presently under construction and is due to take first data in 2020. It will have a sensitivity at least two orders of magnitude beyond current best limits for the leading dark matter candidates. An overview of the LZ experiment is presented.
Genetic and Antigenic Characterization and Retrospective Surveillance of Bovine Influenza D Viruses Identified in Hokkaido, Japan from 2018 to 2020

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Influenza D virus (IDV), which is a new member of the Orthomyxoviridae family, is potentially involved in bovine respiratory diseases (BRDs). Bovine IDVs (BIDVs) from Japan have been distributed nationwide since 2010 and are genetically distinct from foreign IDVs. We isolated BIDVs from three BRD outbreaks, in Hokkaido during 2018–2020, to understand their genetic and antigenic characteristics. Retrospective surveillance was performed using sera collected throughout the last decade in Hokkaido to investigate BIDV existence. Three BIDVs were isolated using cell culture. Comparative and phylogenetic analyses using sequence data of the three BIDVs and IDVs from Japan and other countries available in GenBank demonstrated that Japanese BIDVs, including the three BIDV isolates, were genetically distinct from other IDVs. Genotype classifications based on the rotavirus genotype classification revealed multiple genotypes of RNA segments 1–7. Two BIDVs were of a new genotype, different from those of other Japanese BIDVs. Neutralization assays against two BIDVs with different genotypes using sera collected in acute and recovery phases of BRD revealed differences in cross-reactivity to heterogenous BIDVs. Retrospective surveillance suggested that BIDV existed in Hokkaido, in 2009. Our findings suggest that BIDVs of different genotypes and antigenicity are distributed and maintained in Hokkaido and provide new insights into molecular characteristics and the evolution of IDVs.
Aseptic Meningitis and Nonparalytic Poliomyelitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The association of enteroviruses with the aseptic meningitis syndrome has been not only of academic interest, but has also offered the clinician an additional buffer against hysteria in his practice. The wide-spread publicity given poliomyelitis in the past 2 decades has raised the sensitivity of both the lay public and physicians to a hyperactive state when the diagnosis of poliomyelitis is considered. Certainly everyone appreciates and respects the seriousness of this disease in the paralytic form. However, when there is no evidence of weakness, but a tentative diagnosis of "nonparalytic" poliomyelitis is made, a chain reaction is frequently encountered similar to that when the patient does have paralytic disease. The hospital and physicians are then bombarded with questions from various persons or groups who were even in the remote vicinity of the patient. Obviously many patients in the past who had been reported as nonparalytic poliomyelitis in reality had other
Partial reduction of Si(IV) in SiO 2 thin film by deposited metal particles: an XPS study

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Metal–support interactions in systems of dispersed metals supported on thin‐film silica surfaces were examined by x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Four metal–silica systems—Pt–, Pd–, Ag–and Au–SiO 2 —all indicated the formation of partially reduced Si(IV) species by the metal deposition. The extent of the reduction varied little with the kind or amount of deposited metal species. On the other hand, the amount of this newly formed Si(IV–δ) indicated a strong metal species dependence.

A prototype statistical approach of oil pollution

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we present a detailed statistical survey of oil pollution in the greater area of the Mediterranean Sea (with a preference in the Greek Seas: e.g. the Aigean Sea or the loanian Sea and the respective Greek fleet). The Mediterranean Sea exhibits a noticeable increase of oil pollution within the last 15 years as documented by data that presented within this work. A new electronic data base tool with a multitude of operational capabilities that utilizes data from the REMPEC Organization in raw format is introduced. We further present a statistical analysis of the data which differentiates each incident according to the volume of spilled oil and we conclude with some interesting results and comments.
