Detection of moisture-related damage in GFRP composites using hyperspectral imaging

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Damage detection in glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) structures, such as blades of wind turbines, is a challenging task to achieve using most of conventional methods used in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The primary cause of this issue is the relatively high internal damping of the material. Vision based methods however circumvent this issue. Among those methods hyperspectral imaging (HSI), a technique in which an image is recorded in a broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, has been proven to be a valuable tool for this purpose. Because of the high spectral resolution, hyperspectral images contain information about the chemical composition of the object being scanned. In this study, the chemical data contained in the hyperspectral images of GFRP samples is used as a basis for detection of presence of moisture-related damages. The aim of this study is to develop an algorithm allowing for detection of moisture-related damage in GFRP structures. The algorithm utilizes the interaction of light with moisture through the phenomenon of absorption, cointegration analysis as a denoising and detrending tool, and machine learning methods for the purpose of classification. The results of proposed algorithm are evaluated and its applicability for the purpose of SHM is assessed.
A tobacco DNA binding protein that interacts with a light-responsive box II element.

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

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase plays a key role in photosynthetic carbon fixation in higher plants. The small subunit of this chloroplast enzyme (rbcS), encoded by a family of nuclear genes, is regulated at the transcriptional level by light. Promoter analyses have previously identified the box II sequence as a cis element critical for the light-regulated expression of rbcS genes. Nuclear factor GT-1 binds specifically to this element and is one of the plant nuclear factors that has been detected and studied in great detail. Here we describe the cloning and characterization of a tobacco cDNA encoding a protein, designated B2F (Box II Factor), with similar binding specificity and mobility in gel retardation assays as nuclear GT-1. Steady state levels of mRNA encoding B2F do not appear to be regulated by light; this is consistent with the previous observation that nuclear GT-1 activity is present in extracts from both light-grown and dark-adapted plants. Sequence comparison with another plant trans-acting factor, GT-2, which binds to a GT-like element in the rice phytochrome promoter, shows striking homology in three putative alpha-helices that may be involved in DNA binding.
Keep It Simple

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Head-mounted displays cause discomfort. This is commonly attributed to conflicting depth cues, most prominently between vergence, which is consistent with object depth, and accommodation, which is adjusted to the near eye displays. It is possible to adjust the camera parameters, specifically interocular distance and vergence angles, for rendering the virtual environment to minimize this conflict. This requires dynamic adjustment of the parameters based on object depth. In an experiment based on a visual search task, we evaluate how dynamic adjustment affects visual comfort compared to fixed camera parameters. We collect objective as well as subjective data. Results show that dynamic adjustment decreases common objective measures of visual comfort such as pupil diameter and blink rate by a statistically significant margin. The subjective evaluation of categories such as fatigue or eye irritation shows a similar trend but was inconclusive. This suggests that rendering with fixed camera parameters is the better choice for head-mounted displays, at least in scenarios similar to the ones used here.
Effect of SO2 on transpiration, chlorophyll content, growth, and injury in young seedlings of woody angiosperms

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Effects of SO 2 on transpiration, chlorophyll content, growth, and injury of woody angiosperm seedlings were studied during the first few weeks after germination. Fumigation of silver maple (Acersaccharinum L.) and black locust (Robiniapseudoacacia L.) seedlings with SO 2 at 0.75 ppm for 2 to 16 h increased transpirational water loss. As duration of fumigation was increased, the effect of SO 2 on increasing transpiration declined. Leaves of silver maple seedlings fumigated with SO 2 at 0.75 ppm for 8 to 16 h were injured; those of black locust were not. In another experiment, the adverse effects of SO 2 were greater on black locust than on American elm (Ulmusamericana L.) seedlings. Fumigation of young black locust seedlings with SO 2 at 2 ppm for 1 or 4 h significantly reduced chlorophyll content, height growth, dry weight increment of roots, and leaf formation. Leaf injury symptoms appeared within 24 h after fumigation with 2 ppm SO 2 for 4 h. Fumigation of American elm seedlings with SO 2 at 0.5 or 2 ppm for 0.5 to 4 h decreased dry weight increment of roots but did not injure plants or significantly influence chlorophyll content, height growth, or leaf dry weight. Inhibition of dry weight increment of roots was a more sensitive indicator of susceptibility to SO 2 than was reduction in dry weight increment of shoots.

Experimental investigation of stable the proton exchange membrane fuel cell control using magnetic sensor probes

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), the avoidance and detection of failures such as flooding and dry‐out are crucial. Non‐destructive measurement approaches using magnetic sensors have been developed for this purpose. To reduce the number of sensors required to be installed in a PEMFC system for evaluation, we propose a control method for PEMFCs using the magnetic flux density as an index. The proposed method determines the failure conditions by calculating a simple current mapping with a reduced number of sensors. The results of four‐point magnetic flux densities under failure conditions and stable control using two‐point measurement indices are presented.
Natural selection inIpomopsishybrid zones: implications for ecological speciation

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Summary The fitness of hybrids relative to parental species plays an important role in models of speciation. In ecological speciation, reproductive isolation evolves owing to divergent natural selection, which implies reduced fitness of hybrid phenotypes. The source of the divergent selection in flowering plants may be animal pollinators, or environmental features of habitats that lead to physiological adaptations. Reciprocal transplants, combined with examination of pollination and other fitness components, allow exploration of these mechanisms of speciation. Much of this information is available from hybrid zones between Ipomopsis aggregata and Ipomopsis tenuituba . Pollination studies reveal some disruptive selection on corolla width, but also geographical variation in pollinator preference, and hybrids do not generally suffer lower pollination. Survival of hybrids depends on both genotype and environment. One genotypic class of hybrids is as fit or more fit than the parents, while another type suffers reduced fitness in parental environments. The dynamics of this hybrid zone involve a complex mixture of selection mediated by pollinators and other sources, and this combination of selection may have contributed to the original speciation.
Impact of Top-Surface Tunnel-Oxide Nitridation on Flash Memory Performance and Reliability

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Two approaches to top-surface nitridation of tunnel oxide, i.e., rapid thermal nitridation using NH 3 anneal and decoupled plasma nitridation, are compared. Floating-gate MOS capacitors with source/drain were used to evaluate Flash memory performance and reliability. Tunnel-oxide NH 3 anneal degrades postcycling retention performance compared to plasma nitridation for the same equivalent oxide thickness reduction. The poorer performance of NH 3 anneal is related to higher N incorporation into SiO 2 bulk rather than top surface. Postcycling memory erase-level shift and memory window (MW) closure is lower for plasma nitridation compared to NH 3 anneal. A new integration scheme using plasma nitridation followed by NO anneal produces the lowest MW closure with cycling.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Anatomical studies of the root of four Sida species, S. rhombifolia, S. alnifolia, S. scabrida and S. rhomboidea, coming under Sida rhombifolia complex (Malvaceae) were carried out and compared. The genus Sida is the botanical source of the controversial Ayurvedic drug ‘Bala’. Nearly five species of Sida including S .alnifolia are used as Bala. Materials and methods After taxonomic confirmation, observed root morphology, root anatomy and powder microscopy of four Sida species as per standard procedures. Results Roots of all the four species are distinct in their morphology as well as anatomical characters such as pattern of bast fibres and medullary rays. Conclusion Based on the anatomical characters, a diagnostic key is prepared which can be used as a supporting tool for taxonomic delimitation of the species coming under the S. rhombifolia complex as well as to ascertain the identity of the drug Bala.
Establishing a shared cattle breeding database: Recent experiences in Ireland

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Over the last six years a shared cattle breeding database has been established in Ireland. This database is now being used to meet the information needs of herd books, milk recording, artificial insemination and genetic evaluation for beef and dairy cattle. Development of this database required the establishment of a new information technology infrastructure and migration of historical data from some 40 legacy systems. Recording effort required of farmers has been both reduced and simplified. Complexity and turnaround times of genetic evaluation systems were substantially reduced. Establishing an integrated database required a large effort and the negotiation of data and information sharing protocols involving many organisations but the benefits to Irish cattle farmers through more useful breeding and management information more than justified the cost.
Management of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies in Saudi Arabia: An Update

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) are aggressive and associated with poor prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been used to treat PSM since 1990. In Saudi Arabia, the first HIPEC and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) were performed in 2008 and 2019, respectively. With increasing incidences of PSM in Saudi Arabia, the demand for such procedures has grown. This article outlines the status of PSM management in Saudi Arabia and its prospects.
The effect of walnuts compared to fatty fish on eicosanoids and cytokines in blood

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

N‐3 fatty acids have anti‐inflammatory properties. However, since eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and not α‐linolenic acid (ALA) is the substrate for the cyclooxygenase enzymes and a precursor to eicosanoids, it is unclear whether ALA from walnuts and EPA from fish have similar effects on inflammation. Our objective was to compare the effects of walnuts and fatty fish on circulating inflammatory markers. Under controlled metabolic feeding conditions and randomized crossover design, 25 subjects alternately consumed a control, walnut (1.5 oz/d walnuts, 6 times/wk) or fish diet (8 oz/wk salmon) for 4 weeks each. The walnut (5.43g/d ALA) and fish (760 mg EPA +DHA/d) diet resulted in a significant decrease in plasma 11‐dehydro thromboxane B2 (11‐D‐TXB2) and prostaglandin E metabolite (PGEM) compared to control diet, with no differences between the walnut and fish diets. No significant differences were observed in blood IL‐1β, IL‐6, TNF‐α and CRP among the three diets, nevertheless, walnut diet values were lower. The fish diet decreased the concentration of sICAM‐1 compared to control diet (p<0.05). The walnut diet decreased sE‐selectin compared to the fish diet (p<0.05). In conclusion, walnuts and fish have similar effects in decreasing plasma 11‐D‐TXB2 and PGEM, no effect on blood IL‐1β, IL‐6, TNF‐α and CRP, but different effects in sICAM‐1 and sE‐selectin.
The Baseline Cosinus Function: A Periodic Regression Model for Biological Rhythms

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

A periodic regression model, named the Baseline Cosinus Function (BCF), was designed to fit biological rhythms that show temporal deviations (peaks) above or below an otherwise relatively stable baseline. The BCF model has four parameters only, namely, baseline, peak-height, acrophase, and peak-width. BCF-regressions to daily rhythms in urinary 6-sulphatoxymelatonin (aMT6s), hypothalamic glutamate concentration, and body temperature of hamsters are compared to fits of single (SCF) and complex cosine functions (CCF; using the fundamental and the first harmonic). Goodness of fit statistics show that BCF-regressions to aMT6s-profiles of 36 hamsters resulted in lower residual errors than both SCF and CCF regressions, in particular when rhythms were determined under long photoperiod (n = 18) with relatively short nocturnal peaks (? 2 = 316.6, 142.7 and 74.5 for SCF, CCF and BCF, respectively). For aMT6s rhythms obtained from hamsters in short photoperiod (n = 18) with prolonged nocturnal peaks, goodness of fit was equivalent in CCF and BCF regressions (? 2 = 326.3, 107.0 and 101.4, for SCF, CCF, BCF, respectively), while BCF requires one parameter less than CCF. BCF-fits to daily patterns of hypothalamic glutamate and body temperature demonstrate that this model may be applied to various data types and has particular advantages when rhythms are sharply peaked, and when an independent estimate of peak-width, i.e., the total duration of a rise above the baseline, is desired.
Hyperactive ACC-MDT Pathway Suppresses Prepulse Inhibition in Mice

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract Altered prepulse inhibition (PPI) is an endophenotype associated with multiple brain disorders, including schizophrenia. Circuit mechanisms that regulate PPI have been suggested, but none has been demonstrated through direct manipulations. IRSp53 is an abundant excitatory postsynaptic scaffold implicated in schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. We found that mice lacking IRSp53 in cortical excitatory neurons display decreased PPI. IRSp53-mutant layer 6 cortical neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) displayed decreased excitatory synaptic input but markedly increased neuronal excitability, which was associated with excessive excitatory synaptic input in downstream mediodorsal thalamic (MDT) neurons. Importantly, chemogenetic inhibition of mutant neurons projecting to MDT normalized the decreased PPI and increased excitatory synaptic input onto MDT neurons. In addition, chemogenetic activation of MDT-projecting layer 6 neurons in the ACC decreased PPI in wild-type mice. These results suggest that the hyperactive ACC-MDT pathway suppresses PPI in wild-type and IRSp53-mutant mice.
Preparation and evaluation of chitosan-alginate/carrageenan hydrogel for oral drug delivery in the treatment of diabetes

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Marine beds are an untapped resource of bioactive materials which can be explored for drug delivery applications. In the present study, a hydrogel was developed with an optimal concentration of sodium alginate-chitosan core polyelectrolytic complex loaded with anti-diabetic drug metformin and coated with ĸ-Carrageenan as an efficient oral drug delivery vehicle. The formulation was optimized by changing parameters such as concentration of polymers, amount of cross-linker and the type and amount of coating material. The prepared hydrogels were characterized for their structural integrity using instrumental techniques such as FTIR, XRD, DSC, and SEM while the physical properties were assessed by evaluating its thickness, UV barrier ability and swelling degree. In vitro study demonstrated the influence of presence and type of coating material affecting drug delivery process. The study suggested that coating with 3% ĸ-Carrageenan (A19) was found most suitable for oral drug delivery since it could resist diffusion of drug in the stomach (pH 1.2) so that maximum drug could reach the intestine (pH 7.4) for absorption. Metformin loaded hydrogel (A20) released ~49% drug in the simulated gastric fluid (pH 1.2). In the simulated intestinal fluid (pH 7.4) both the hydrogel exhibited a sustained release pattern lasting for more than 4 h. Investigation of drug release kinetics using different mathematical models showed that Higuchi model was the best fit release model with R 2 ⩾ 0.973. The results indicated that the prepared hydrogels could be potential drug delivery vehicle toward intestine as well as for extended release to colon targeted drug delivery.
The study of the freeze-thaw resistance and carbonation resistance of manufactured sand-RAC based on fly ash and slag powder

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract To advance the use of industrial solid waste and recycled concrete, this study explores the impact of fly ash and slag powder on the mechanical properties, freeze–thaw resistance, and carbonation resistance of manufactured sand recycled aggregate concrete (MRAC). Different FSMRAC (Fly Ash and Slag Powder MRAC) mixtures were prepared by varying the amounts of fly ash and slag powder. The results show that fly ash and slag powder enhance the splitting tensile strength of MRAC more than its compressive strength. when the contents of fly ash and slag powder are 0% and 30%, respectively, the FSMRAC attains maximum compressive strength of 48.6 MPa and splitting tensile strength of 3.8 MPa, representing increases of 2.96% and 5.6% in compressive and splitting tensile strengths, respectively, compared to MRAC. A total addition of 30% fly ash and slag powder effectively reduces the loss of mechanical properties under freeze–thaw conditions. When the fly ash-to-slag powder ratio (F:S) exceeds 1.5, it improves carbonation resistance and compressive strength; when the ratio is below 1.5, it enhances splitting tensile strength resistance to freeze–thaw cycles. Slag powder promotes hydration and improves mechanical properties, while fly ash densifies the concrete matrix and lowers the carbonation rate. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) analysis indicates that both materials improve MRAC’s properties. Higher fly ash content benefits compressive strength and carbonation resistance, while higher slag powder content improves splitting tensile strength.
