[Purpose] This paper analyzes the impact of financial ratios on the financial performance of two different types of service industries, called Group 1 and Group 2. Group 1 consists of maritime transport, air transport, hotel and car rental industries, which depend on real estate as a major source of income, while Group 2 consists of travel agencies, trading companies and information service industries, which do not depend on real estate as a major source of income. [Methodology] This study primarily analyzed 12 representative financial ratios, divided into four categories：profitability ratios, stability ratios, growth ratios, and activity ratios. Secondary data based on the Value Search from 2015 to 2019, was analyzed, and a multiple regression model was employed using SPSS 26.0. [Findings] The analysis showed that for Group 1, focusing on increasing low asset turnover with a relatively low debt ratio is a good way to improve a company’s profitability；for Group 2, focusing on relatively high asset turnover with relatively high debt ratio can improve a company’s profitability. [Implications] The financial performance of service industry was impacted by different types of financial ratios according to real estate dependence as major source of income.

Appraisal and synthesis of novel indole-thiazole derivatives as epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) inhibitors against resistance mutation for lung cancer treatment

For the treatment of NSCLC one of the promising strategies is targeted inhibition of EGFR and its mutants. In this research work, we tend to epitomize design, synthesis, in-vitro anticancer evaluation of novel indole-thiazole derivatives as novel reversible EGFR inhibitor which have trifling toxicity. The structure of the novel indole-thiazole derivatives was designed considering the standard drug EAI045. The detailed study of first generation, second generation, third generation and fourth generation EGFR inhibitors was carried out before the designing of novel indole-thiazole derivatives. The results point toward the novel indole-thiazole derivatives 7(a-n) potential as moderate to excellent anticancer compounds. The SAR studies indicated that compounds 7e, 7f, 7 h, 7 k and 7 l reveals marvellous selective inhibition of EGFRL858R/ T790M over wild type EGFR. Especially, the synthesized compounds 7e (HCC827 IC 50 = 0.23 µM, H1975 IC 50 = 0.38 µM) and 7f (HCC827 IC 50 = 0.34 µM, H1975 IC 50 = 0.42 µM) revealed excellent in vitro anticancer activity and selectivity ratio. The compounds have also shown more selectivity towards cancer cells when compared with normal cell BEAS-2B. This shows that compounds will show minimal toxicity towards normal cells. The enzyme assay results revealed that the compound 7e has an ability to inhibit reversibly EGFR L858R/T790M. The compound 7e possibly appreciably inhibit colony formation and wound healing. The compound 7e was also able to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. The docking study also proofed the aptness to inhibit EGFR L858R/T790M of the synthesized compounds. Our findings suggest that the novel indole-thiazole derivatives 7(a-n), can specifically in vitro and at cellular level, target the mutant EGFRL858R/T790M and will open the new doors for the cancer therapy against EGFR L858R/T790M mutated cancer cells.

Enhanced Activation in Phosphorous-Doped Silicon via Dual-Beam Laser Annealing.

In this study, we conduct a comparative analysis of single-beam laser annealing (SBLA) and dual-beam laser annealing (DBLA) techniques for semiconductor manufacturing. In the DBLA approach, two laser beams were precisely aligned to simultaneously heat a phosphorus-doped silicon (Si) wafer. The main objective was to investigate the impact of the two annealing techniques on the electrical properties, crystalline structure, and diffusion profile of the treated phosphorus-doped Si at equivalent laser powers. Both SBLA and DBLA improved the electrical properties of the phosphorus-doped Si, evidenced by increased carrier concentration and reduced carrier mobility. Additionally, the crystalline structure of the phosphorus-doped Si showed favorable modifications, with no defects and improved crystallinity. While both SBLA and DBLA produced similar phosphorus profiles with no significant redistribution of dopants compared to the as-implanted sample, DBLA achieved a higher activation ratio than SBLA. Although the results suggest improved dopant activation with minimal diffusion, further studies are needed to clearly confirm the effect of DBLA on dopant activation and diffusion.

Comprehensive evaluation of microstructure and mechanical performance of sustainable ambient-cured alkali-activated composites

Cement is one of the building materials that is most frequently utilized in the construction field. However, the cement industry contributes significantly to the production of greenhouse gases. Therefore, many works have focused on improving sustainable construction materials that could contribute to decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. This study aimed to design a sustainable geopolymer mortar (GPM) made of fly ash (FA) and ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), which would be suitable for repairing damaged concrete structures. The work focused on investigating the effect of GGBS percentage, alkaline activator ratio, and superplasticizer dosage on the compressive strength, setting time, and workability of an ambient-cured GPM. The results of this research indicated that the compressive strength of GPM improved with the increase in GGBS percentage until a certain limit. However, the workability and setting time deteriorated with the increase in GGBS percentage. Increasing the alkaline activator ratio contributed to improving the compressive strength, workability, and setting time of GPM up to specific levels, but then they started to reduce. Superplasticizer dosage contributed to enhancing the compressive strength, workability, and setting time of GPM. This study found that the optimum FA/GGBS-based GPM that may be used in repair applications contains 50% GGBS, 50% FA, and 5% superplasticizer. The silica sand/binder ratio and alkaline activator ratio were 2.75 and 1.0, respectively. The compressive strength at 1 day, setting time, and workability of the optimum mix were about 12.70 MPa, 20 min, and 138.75 mm, respectively. The XRF, XRD, TGA, and SEM analyses were useful tools used to interpret the effects of the alkaline activator ratio on the fresh and mechanical properties of GPM.

Characterization of radon gas transmission rate in pore structures of different rock layers by radon daughters inversion calculation

Determining the transmission rate of radon gas in overburden strata is crucial for conducting a comprehensive study of radon gas's longitudinal and long-distance migration mechanisms. This study investigates the mineral components of rocks in the underground strata of the mining area using the X-ray diffraction method. Additionally, it examines the pore structure parameters of the rocks at different depths using the low-temperature nitrogen adsorption method. This research introduces an approach to inversion calculate the radon gas transmission rate through the activity ratio of radon's characteristic daughters based on the decay law and activity balance of 210Po and 210Pb daughters. In addition, it determines the transmission rates of radon gas in overlying strata at various depths through this method. The relationship between the rock's mineral composition and pore structure is investigated, and the effects of pore structure and mineral composition on the radon gas transmission rate are analyzed. The findings indicated that the pore structure exerts a dual impact on radon gas transport: macropores serve as channels for upward radon gas transport, while micropores offer most of the adsorption area. In contrast, the radon gas transmission rate is indirectly influenced by the mineral composition content associated with the medium's adsorption capacity and pore structure. In the studied lithologies, an increase in quartz content promotes radon gas transmission, while an increase in clay mineral content impedes it. Finally, the mechanisms of radon gas transport, daughter adsorption, and the impacts of rock pore structure and mineral composition on the radon transmission rate are discussed.

Voltage Stacking: A First-Order Modelization of an m × n Asynchronous Array for Chip and Architectural Design Exploration

Voltage stacking is a technique in which multiple integrated circuits are stacked in series between the supply voltage instead of in parallel, thus improving the energy efficiency of the power distribution network. Unfortunately, voltage stacking presents stability challenges for integrated circuits within the stack. A first-order model to quantify variability, stability, and power metrics for an array of voltage-stacked asynchronous integrated circuits is presented. Voltage variability and power consumption are accounted for and discussed. Limitations of the model are identified outside of the nominal behavior. The number of columns in the architecture, chip leakage, and supply voltage are shown to be the key contributors to the stability, performance, and energy efficiency of a system of voltage-stacked asynchronous processors. A higher leakage to active power ratio, though usually avoided by chip designers, is shown to improve stability and be key in designing stacks without external balancing. Outputs of the model enable system and chip designers to evaluate first-order trade-offs in energy efficiency, performance, and system cost. These fundamental data allow designers to make informed design and optimization trade-offs between asynchronous voltage-stacked architectures and the integrated circuits used therein. Analysis of this model shows that various voltage-stacked configurations, such as one with a 48 V supply using 100 rows and 11 columns, can be designed with less than 10% voltage variation per chip, mitigating the need for external voltage balancing.

Impairment of Cognitive Function Increases Mortality Risk in Relation to Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation and Renal Dysfunction in Patients With Systolic Heart Failure.

In contrast to the well-known prognostic values of the cardiorenal linkage, it remains unclear whether impaired cognitive function affects cardiac prognosis in relation to cardiac sympathetic innervation and renal function in patients with heart failure (HF). A total of 433 consecutive HF patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50% underwent the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and a neuropsychological test for screening of cognition impairment or subclinical dementia. Following metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy, patient outcomes with a primary endpoint of lethal cardiac events (CEs) were evaluated for a mean period of 14.8 months. CEs were documented in 84 HF patients during follow-up. MMSE score, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and standardized heart-to-mediastinum ratio of MIBG activity (sHMR) were significantly reduced in patients with CEs compared with patients without CEs. Furthermore, overall multivariate analysis revealed that these parameters were significant independent determinants of CEs. The cutoff values of MMSE score (<26), sHMR (<1.80) and eGFR (<47.0 mL/min/1.73 m2) determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis successfully differentiated HF patients at more increased risk for CEs from other HF patients. Impairment of cognitive function is not only independently related to but also synergistically increases cardiac mortality risk in association with cardiac sympathetic function and renal function in patients with HF.

Head–neck cooling effects on central and peripheral fatigue, motor accuracy, and blood markers of stress in men with multiple sclerosis and healthy men: A randomized crossover study

BackgroundThe present study aimed to investigate whether head and neck cooling (at 18 °C next to the skin) and fatiguing submaximal exercise at a thermoneutral ambient temperature can induce peripheral and central responses in healthy men and those with multiple sclerosis (MS). MethodsA local head–neck cooling (at 18 °C next to the skin) intervention in men with a relapsing-remitting form of MS (n = 18; age 30.9 ± 8.1 years) and healthy men (n = 22; age 26.7 ± 5.9 years) was assessed. Men in both groups performed 100 intermittent isometric knee extensions with 5 s contractions and 20 s of rest. The primary variables were measured before exercise, after 50 and 100 repetitions, and 1 h after recovery. The central activation ratio, maximal voluntary contraction, electrically induced force, electromyography, contractile properties, blood markers, muscle temperature, and perception of effort were measured. ResultsCompared with noncooled conditions, head and neck cooling increased the central capacity to activate exercising muscles but resulted in greater exercise-induced peripheral fatigue in men with MS (p < 0.05). Local cooling did not affect motor accuracy or the amplitude of electromyography signals; however, these factors were related to the intensity of the motor task (p > 0.05). The changes in central and peripheral fatigability induced by local cooling during submaximal exercise were more pronounced in men with MS than in healthy men (p < 0.05). ConclusionHead and neck cooling enhances central activation of muscles during exercise, leading to improved exercise performance compared with noncooled conditions in men with MS.

The influence of soil depth and tree age on soil enzyme activities and stoichiometry in apple orchards

The indispensable role of soil microorganisms in apple orchards, impacting soil quality, nutrient cycling, and crop productivity, cannot be overstated. Nonetheless, as apple trees mature, the potential for soil nutrient imbalances arises, affecting apple growth and yield. Research on how deep soil properties evolve with tree age is limited. Soil samples were gathered from apple orchards of various ages, utilizing the microplate fluorescence method to examine soil enzyme activity, microbial stoichiometry, and their correlation with soil nutrients. Results reveal that soil properties, microbial biomass, and enzymes are influenced by both tree age and depth. Microbial biomass decreases with depth, peaking in young orchards with the highest MBN:MBP ratio. Initially declining, microbial entropy nitrogen rises with tree age. Redundancy analysis identifies OP as pivotal in explaining extracellular enzyme activity. The enzyme C:N ratio exhibits a negative correlation with the MBN:MBP ratio. Additionally, ratios of ln(NAG) to ln(BG), ln(AKP) to ln(BG), and ln(AKP) to ln(NAG) demonstrate positive correlations. Enzyme activity ratios for C, N, and P transformation deviate from the global ecosystem ratio, indicating nuanced nutrient dynamics. Soil vector angles are influenced by tree age, suggesting limitations on microbial metabolism by carbon and phosphorus. Structural equation modeling unveils that soil depth negatively impacts pH, AKP, and Enzyme N:P, while tree age adversely affects Enzyme N:P. Furthermore, MBN:MBP is directly influenced by AKP and soil depth, indirectly by tree age and pH. This study underscores the significance of microbial stoichiometry in evaluating soil resource ecology relations, offering insights into soil microbe-orchard ecosystem dynamics.

Should I prescribe exercise to a patient with an immobilized shoulder? An electromyographic study in patients with unilateral shoulder pain and healthy volunteers

Background There is limited evidence about exercise performance during postoperative immobilization. This study aimed to quantify the muscle activity in the immobilized shoulder girdle in an abduction and neutral rotation position during a battery of contralateral activities and ipsilateral exercises of the upper limb in healthy volunteers and patients with unilateral shoulder pain (USP). Methods Thirty participants were included and grouped as without ( N = 17) or with USP ( N = 13). Muscle activity (percentage of maximum voluntary isometric contraction (%MVIC)) of the serratus anterior (SA), upper trapezius (UT), lower trapezius (LT) and infraspinatus muscles was assessed during five contralateral activities (during comfortable speed, fast speed and comfortable speed with additional load) and seven ipsilateral exercises. Results No differences in % MVIC were found between healthy volunteers and patients with USP on immobilized upper limb exercises and with the contralateral shoulder girdle. General muscle activity was low (&lt;15% MVIC) to moderate (21–40% MVIC). This similarity was maintained at different speeds and with additional load. Adapted lawnmower exercise showed a favorable UT/LT activation ratio. Conclusion The study results support the use of all evaluated shoulder exercises, as they have shown low muscle activity, which is important for early rehabilitation phases.

Anxiety and Depression Associated With Increased Cardiovascular Disease Risk Through Accelerated Development of Risk Factors

BackgroundPrior studies have incompletely assessed whether the development of cardiometabolic risk factors (CVDRF) (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus) mediates the association between anxiety and depression (anxiety/depression) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). ObjectivesThe authors aimed to evaluate the following: 1) the association between anxiety/depression and incident CVDRFs and whether this association mediates the increased CVD risk; and 2) whether neuro-immune mechanisms and age and sex effects may be involved. MethodsUsing a retrospective cohort design, Mass General Brigham Biobank subjects were followed for 10 years. Presence and timing of anxiety/depression, CVDRFs, and CVD were determined using ICD codes. Stress-related neural activity, chronic inflammation, and autonomic function were measured by the assessment of amygdalar-to-cortical activity ratio, high-sensitivity CRP, and heart rate variability. Multivariable regression and mediation analyses were employed. ResultsAmong 71,214 subjects (median age 49.6 years; 55.3% female), 27,048 (38.0%) developed CVDRFs during follow-up. Pre-existing anxiety/depression associated with increased risk of incident CVDRF (OR: 1.71 [95% CI: 1.59-1.83], P < 0.001) and with a shorter time to their development (β = −0.486 [95% CI: −0.62 to −0.35], P < 0.001). The development of CVDRFs mediated the association between anxiety/depression and CVD events (log-odds: 0.044 [95% CI: 0.034-0.055], P < 0.05). Neuro-immune pathways contributed to the development of CVDRFs (P < 0.05 each) and significant age and sex effects were noted: younger women experienced the greatest acceleration in the development of CVDRFs after anxiety/depression. ConclusionsAnxiety/depression accelerate the development of CVDRFs. This association appears to be most notable among younger women and may be mediated by stress-related neuro-immune pathways. Evaluations of tailored preventive measures for individuals with anxiety/depression are needed to reduce CVD risk.

Image analysis as a geometry- and integrity-independent tool for predicting strength of cemented tailings backfill using slag-based binder

Compressive strength is a crucial indicator for assessing the stability of the cemented tailings backfill (CTB) matrix. The stringent requirements of traditional non-destructive testing (NDT) methods (e.g., ultrasonic pulse velocity and electrical resistivity) regarding the geometry, section flatness, and integrity of the core sample severely limit their use in the in-situ measurement of CTB strength. Therefore, this study proposes a novel NDT technique for assessing the in-situ strength of CTB made from ground granulated blast furnace slag (slag) by means of image analysis. Strength tests and image analysis are carried out in 258 specimens maintained at different solid concentrations (71−79 %), binder contents (6−14 %), activator ratios (from 28:2–20:10) and curing temperatures (5−40℃). In addition, microscopic investigations are carried out to clarify the underlying mechanisms contributing to the macroscopic features. Increasing solid content, desulfurized gypsum to calcium carbide slag (DG/CS) ratio, and curing temperature results in increases in UCS of 87.9−199.9 %, 171.3−421.2 %, and 27.5−173.8 %, respectively. The strength-enhancing effect of increasing the curing temperature diminishes with time, from 173.8 % at 3 days to 27.5 % at 28 days. Strength initially rises and then abruptly decreases as binder content rises. The grayscale value generally has an opposite trend to strength, but the former is less sensitive to changes in influencing factors. An obvious exponential relationship is found between strength and grayscale for all specimens (R2 = 0.92). Compared with traditional NDT methods, the application of image analysis is not restricted to the shape, size, and integrity of CTB and therefore provides a faster, easier, and less costly tool for the quality evaluation of field CTB matrix.
