Fabrication of Smart Eye Controlled Wheelchair for Disabled Person

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This work focuses on fabricating an innovative wheelchair prototype controlled through eye movement for disabled persons. Nowadays, a large number of people suffer from various disabilities, including hand and leg disabilities. Since disability casts many problems in afflicted people's regular life, this issue must be checked to ameliorate their lifestyle. A paradigm for controlling a wheelchair by eye movement detection technique is proposed in this study. This study aims to develop a feasible paradigm for helping disabled persons with their everyday needs. The wheelchair is controlled with the assistance of a smart glass. A camera is mounted on the glass, capturing the eye pupil's image without hindering the eyesight. Image processing technique has been used to detect eye movement. There is also an interface for calibrating light in different environments. After proper assembly, the prototype has been controlled easily through eye movement.
Chlamydia psittaci experimental abortion in goats

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

SUMMARY To study abortive cblamydiosis in goats, 11 pregnant goats were inoculated intradermally at the 3rd month of pregnancy with 2 × 10 7 or 2 × 10 6 plaque-forming units of a strain of Chlamydia psittaci isolated from naturally occurring abortions in goats. The 11 inoculated does aborted 24 to 56 days after they were inoculated and shed Chlamydia. This shedding began at least 9 days before abortion (1 goat) and persisted 12 days after abortion (1 goat). Retained placenta or metritis were observed in 4 of the goats.
Neutrino physics beyond the current paradigm

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

An exciting program of international neutrino experiments aims to complete our understanding of three-neutrino mixing in the Standard Model (SM), which has had great success in describing world neutrino data. However, there exist a number of short-baseline neutrino anomalies that do not fit into this simple picture and could be pointing us instead to phenomena beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Neutrinos and neutrino experiments are excellent laboratories to search for BSM physics for a number a reasons. First, neutrinos mass itself is evidence of BSM physics as it implies the addition of new fields to the SM. In addition, neutrino properties are not well-constrained and allow sizable, new interactions. Finally, accelerator- and reactor-based short-baseline neutrino experiments bring high luminosity sources of photons, nuclear, and meson decays near large, sensitive detectors and can therefore probe a variety of dark sector models. In this talk, I will give an overview of worldwide accelerator- and reactor-based short-baseline neutrino experiments and their efforts to search for physics beyond the current paradigm.
Supreme Courts

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

As we saw while reviewing the Dutch experience, the courts in at least one jurisdiction have changed the law to permit VAE and PAS. However, such judicial law-making is rare. In many countries judges would regard any relaxation of the prohibition as a matter properly to be left to elected legislatures, not only because the criminal prohibition is so long-established, but also because repeal is thought to involve profound issues of principle and complex issues of social policy better suited to legislative than judicial determination.
Unpaired Abstract-to-Conclusion Text Style Transfer using CycleGANs

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The availability of paired examples greatly facilitates the task of style transfer by allowing the use of supervised learning. However, our scenario does not enjoy such a condition. We focus on style transfer for academic writing, and examine the possibility of performing style transfer between sentences from the abstract and conclusion sections of a scientific article in the Natural Language Processing field, in both directions. We assume a latent correlation between the abstract and conclusion styles, and construct an unpaired data set. We propose the use of a version of CydeGAN based on transformers to perform the task. Our approach is shown to realize differences in tense or word usage which are characteristic of the different sections.
A broadly cross-reactive antibody neutralizes and protects against sarbecovirus challenge in mice

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses 1 (SARS-CoV) and 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, can cause deadly infections. The mortality associated with sarbecovirus infection underscores the importance of developing broadly effective countermeasures against them, which could be key in the prevention and mitigation of current and future zoonotic events. Here, we demonstrate the neutralization of SARS-CoV, bat coronaviruses WIV-1, RsSHC014, and SARS-CoV-2 variants D614G, B.1.1.7, B.1.351, P.1, B.1.429, B.1.526, B.1.617.1, and B.1.617.2 by a receptor-binding domain (RBD)-specific human antibody, DH1047. Prophylactic and therapeutic treatment with DH1047 was protective against SARS-CoV, WIV-1, RsSHC014, and SARS-CoV-2 B.1.351 infection in mice. Binding and structural analysis showed high affinity binding of DH1047 to an epitope that is highly conserved among sarbecoviruses. Thus, DH1047 is a broadly protective antibody that can prevent infection and mitigate outbreaks caused by SARS-related strains and SARS-CoV-2 variants. Our results also suggest that the conserved RBD epitope bound by DH1047 is a rational target for a universal sarbecovirus vaccine

l-Arginine-Nitric Oxide Kinetics in Normal and Type 2 Diabetic Subjects

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Defective endothelium is a key event in the development of atherosclerosis in diabetes: alteration of the l-arginine-nitric oxide (NO) pathway has been suggested. We propose a modeling approach of the l-arginine-NO pathway in vivo in both control and type 2 diabetic subjects based on the intravenous bolus injection of l-[15N]arginine and subsequent noncompartmental and compartmental model analysis of l-[15N] arginine in plasma and [15N]nitrate in the urine. No differences in arginine kinetics were observed between normal subjects and diabetic patients. [15N]nitrates were detectable up to 48 h from the l-15[N]arginine administration; no differences were found in the tracer-to-tracee ratio in each urine collection. However, the NO synthesis in plasma from arginine was lower (P = 0.05 for the noncompartmental and 0.1208 for the compartmental analysis, by Mann-Whitney test) in diabetic patients than in control subjects when expressed both in absolute terms (50% decrease) and as percentage of NO turnover (30% decrease). This new modeling approach of l-arginine-NO pathway provides a detailed picture of arginine kinetics and nitrate metabolism. From our data, it appears that noncomplicated type 2 diabetic patients have a decreased conversion of arginine to NO.
Influence of organic sources of nutrient on mungbean performance in South-eastern Rajasthan

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif seasons of 2022 and 2023 at the organic farming block of the Agricultural Research Station, Ummedganj, Agriculture University, Kota (Rajasthan), to study the effects of organic sources of nutrient on mungbean growth and yield in the mungbean-wheat cropping system of southeastern Rajasthan. The experiment included eight treatments: T1 , Absolute control; T2 , 100% N by farm yard manure (FYM) + cow urine @ 10% spray at 15, 30, and 45 days after sowing (DAS); T3, 100% N by FYM + panchagavya @ 5% spray at 15, 30, and 45 DAS; T4 , 75% N by FYM + 25% N by vermicompost + vermiwash @ 10% spray at 15, 30, and 45 DAS; T5 , 50% N by FYM + 50% N by vermicompost + vermiwash @ 10% spray at 15, 30, and 45 DAS; T6 , 75% N by FYM + jeevamrut @ 500 liters/ha at sowing + vermiwash @ 5% spray @ 15, 30, and 45 DAS; T7 , 100% N by FYM + NPK consortia of biofertilizers + Zinc solubilising bacteria (ZSB) each @ 62.5 ml/kg seed inoculation + amrita sanjeevani @ 500 liters/ha at sowing, 15 and 30 DAS and 75% N by FYM + NPK consortia of biofertilizers @ 62.5 ml/kg seed inoculation + sasyagavya @ 10% spray at 15, 30, and 45 DAS (T8 ). The treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with 3 replications. The 2-years pooled results showed that the treatment T5 produced significantly higher values for plant height (54.62 cm), number of branches/plant (9.65), total number of effective nodules/plant (31.65), fresh and dry weight of root nodules/plant (119.94 mg and 23.98 mg, respectively), number of pods/plant (26.28), number of seeds/pod (9.39), pod length (8.17 cm), test weight (34.99 g), seed yield (1242 kg/ha), and straw yield (2,204 kg/ha) compared to the absolute control. These results were statistically on par with the T3 and T7 treatments, and the seed yield was found at par with T3 in the pooled analysis. Hence, the application of 50% N by FYM and 50% N by vermicompost, along with vermiwash spray, is highly effective mungbean yield in the South Eastern Rajasthan for enhancing.
Design of a Universal Laparoscopic Suturing Device

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or laparoscopic surgery has changed the focus of surgery and has become an alternative to open surgical procedures. Operations are performed through small incisions in the abdomen thus avoiding the need for large incisions. This results in less tissue trauma, less scarring, and faster post-operative recovery time. However, the inherent challenges of laparoscopic procedures include limited visibility, constrained working space and the need for advanced surgical tools to safely and efficiently perform the surgical procedure. It is also necessary for surgeons to obtain advanced surgical training to perform these procedures.
P-040 The characteristic of human seminal plasma extracellular vesicle (SPEVs) profiles with different sperm features in a large cohort of 309 Taiwanese men

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Study question To investigate human seminal plasma extracellular vesicle profiles in different sperm characteristics and their potential clinical application. Summary answer Normozoospermic semen has significantly higher SPEV concentration than asthenozoospermic or oligozoospermic samples. Moreover, SPEV concentration was highly correlated with total motile sperm count. What is known already Seminal plasma extracellular vesicles (SPEVs) are cell-derived membrane structures that carry proteins, nucleic acid, and lipids, which can modify the constitution and biological function of sperm. However, the characteristics of SPEVs in different sperm features remained unclear. Study design, size, duration From January 2021 to September 2023, 309 men who visited the NCKUH andrology clinic agreed to collect semen samples for this study, which the Institutional Review Board has approved. Participants/materials, setting, methods Semen parameters were measured by the X1 CASA system (Bonraybio, Taiwan). SPEVs were isolated by size exclusion chromatography column and ExoQuick™. Next, the SPEVs’ concentration and size distribution were performed with nanoparticle tracking analysis. The Kruskal-Wallis test calculated comparison in multiple groups, and Dunn’s multiple comparison tests accessed group-group comparison. The Pearson correlation coefficient r of exosome concentration with individual sperm parameters was calculated. A p-value less than 0.05 was set as statistical significance. Main results and the role of chance Among them, 59 semen samples were presented with normozoospermia, 36 were oligozoospermia, 73 were asthenozoospermia, and 141 samples had no sperm in semen. Among these 141 azoospermic men, 89 men are characterized by non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), while the other 52 men had a vasectomy. Our data showed that normozoospermic semen has significantly higher SPEV concentration than asthenozoospermic or oligozoospermic semen samples (26 x109 [IQR 17.25 x109-56.25 x109] versus 12 x109 [IQR 5.6 x109-19.5 x109] versus 15.5 x109 [IQR 8.575 x109-26.75 x109], p = 0.0001). Nevertheless, azoospermic semen has the lowest SPEV concentrations. The concentration of SPEVs from infertile men diagnosed with NOA is slightly lower than vasectomized men (3.9 x109 [IQR 1.875 x109-7.675 x109] versus 5.4 x109 [IQR 2.9 x109-8 x109], p = 0.0001). The Pearson r coefficient of SPEV concentration with sperm concentration, progressive motility, and total motile sperm count was 0.238, 0.303, and 0.451, respectively. (P &lt; 0.0001) Limitations, reasons for caution Because our data were collected from Taiwanese men, it is not yet known whether SPEV profiles differ among races. Wider implications of the findings Human SPEV concentration and its bio-content may be a potential non-invasive biomarker to predict the male reproductive outcome.

"Compact-paniculous sterile", a new mutant in rice. : NAGAO and TAKAHASHI:Genetical studies on rice plant, XI.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A sterile mutant was found in 1946 from the population of a rice variety Ebisu-Mochi and was named, Compact-paniculous sterile" by the authors. As compared viith the original variety, this mutant is taller in stem heig:ht, Iess in tillering, Ionger and broader in leaf sizes preseriting sonewhat staut appearance as well as deeper green color. If must be stated, furthermore; that this mutant shows high sterility, the seed setting amounting about 20 per cent of a panicle, and that there are observed variotis types of spikelets where deformations, excessive developments take place ip floral organs such as glumes, pistil, anthers, Iodicules as. well as ovu-les. " ' It may be considered that the sterility of this mutant is exolusively owing to the abnormal development and degerneration in embryoac, the occurrence of which amounting about 50 per cent of the observed embryosacs under microscope, whereas the polen grains are recrarded to be complete and healthy in the view of the, results of germinat-ion experiment and morphologicai observations. This mutant ever breeds true for generations. The mode of its inheritance remains to be proved in detail fot further investigation, however, this possively seems to be a case of point mutation that occurs in a certain chr.omoome locus.

Relationship between the vitamin D content of maternal milk and the vitamin D status of nursing women and breast-fed infants

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT This work was designed to study the effect of the vitamin D content of human milk on the vitamin D status of exclusively breast-fed infants, and the relation between milk and maternal serum concentrations of vitamin D during the first month of lactation. Serum levels of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D) were determined in a racially heterogenous population of nursing women, between days 3 and 5 (L 3 ), 15 and 18 (L 15 ) and 30 and 45 (L 30 ) post partum . The same parameters were determined in the serum of 1-month-old breast-fed infants. Maternal milk samples were obtained at L 3 , L 15 and L 30 and analysed for Ca, P, Mg, vitamin D and 25-OH-D content. Milk levels of Ca, P and Mg were found to be within the range previously described by other authors. No correlation was found between serum and milk levels of vitamin D and 25-OH-D in nursing mothers. The 25-OH-D concentration in milk was related to its vitamin D content and strongly correlated ( P < 0·001) with the 25-OH-D levels in the serum of exclusively breast-fed infants. No significant changes were observed in maternal serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 ) measured at L 3 and L 30 , or between maternal and infant levels of 1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 at L 30 . This study emphasizes the importance of the 25-OH-D content of maternal milk, in being primarily responsible for the vitamin D concentrations found in the serum of exclusively breast-fed infants. In contrast, serum levels of 1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 measured in the breast-fed baby seemed mainly related to its calcaemia. J. Endocr. (1986) 110, 43–50

Preliminary Report of Nationwide COVID-19 Vaccine Compensation in Taiwan

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The potential adverse effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccinations raise public concerns. Data from Taiwan’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) can provide valuable insights. This study analyzed the preliminary application data for COVID-19 vaccine compensation in Taiwan’s VICP, focusing on applicants receiving vaccines between March 2021 and June 2022. Among the 2941 adverse events, 113 cases (3.8%) were deemed causally associated with vaccination, 313 (10.6%) were indeterminate, and 2515 (85.5%) had no causal association. Nearly half (47.6%) of the applicants were over 60 years old, and 76.6% had a history of pre-existing chronic diseases. Among the 426 vaccine-associated or indeterminate cases, the most common causes were hematological diseases and thrombosis. There were 920 mortality cases reported, and 97.4% were unassociated with vaccination. Only five deaths were judged to be associated with the COVID-19 vaccination, all involving the adenovirus vector vaccine and thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome. In conclusion, most compensation applications were not causally linked to vaccination. Compared to other countries, the number of applications in Taiwan’s VICP is relatively high. These findings may indicate a need to adjust the application requirements for compensation in Taiwan’s program.
Factors Influencing NGO Activities: Lithuanian Case Study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The article aims to explore the external and internal factors influencing the activities of NGOs, in Lithuania. A qualitative empirical study was conducted (10 expert surveys) on this issue, what are the factors that help and hinder the activities of NGOs in Lithuania. The study allowed us to identify groups of factors positively influencing the activities of NGOs: human skills; infrastructure, as well as the organisation's relationship with public authorities, the hindering factors were also identified: the application of contracting authority status to NGOs; "activities in the public interest" interpretation; peculiarities of taxation of non-profit organizations; etc. The most relevant groups of NGO activity problems and related legal acts were distinguished: application of the contracting authority status to NGOs (Law on Public Procurement of the Republic of Lithuania); Interpretation of “activities in the public interest” (STI material. Peculiarities of taxation of non-profit organizations; etc. legislation); application of corporate income tax to non-profit organizations (Law on Corporate Income Tax of the Republic of Lithuania).
CONGENITAL ABSENCE OF THE RADIUS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

(1) Congenital absence of the radius is by no means a rare condition, there being at least 250 cases recorded in medical literature up to 1923. These cases are reviewed and tabulated, together with three cases here reported.

(2) The principal pathlogy of the radial defect comprises: total or partial absence of the radius, either unilateral or bilateral; the hypertrophied and curved ulna on the affected side; congenital club-hand, usually radio-palmar in type; absence of the thumb, together with its metacarpal bone; general atrophy of the affected extremity; and the limitation of joint movements.

(3) The radial defect usually is associated with other concomitant anomalies elsewhere in the body.

(4) There are many theories proposed to explain the etiology of this deformity. Of these, Gegenbaur's archipterygeal theory and Dareste's amniotic theory have the largest number of followers. The present writer believes what the essential cause of the defect is due to some disturbing factor which arises during the first few weeks of fetal life, either due to the inherent defect in cell vitality or to some inflammatory or irritative process (Virchow's phlogistic diathesis).

(5) Diagnosis of the condition is usually not difficult, but the ultimate verification must rest in radiographic findings. Prognosis is always grave, as the degree of anomalies may be so extensive as to make life impossible, or at least the power of resistance so weak as to make the patient succumb to some intercurrent infection. The operative measures merely correct the deformed hand, but the affected extremity always remains weak.

(6) The various methods of operative procedure have been devised and these are reviewed briefly. The Ryerson method of ulnar graft, as adopted in one of our cases, is also mentioned.
