Effects of LED exposure on the sensory properties of soybean oil.

Soybean oil is an important commodity in the US and abroad. As lipids are vulnerable to oxidation, damage to soybean oil has been previously reported to arise from prolonged light exposure. Here, we assessed the extent of damage to samples of soybean oil from light, tested with sensory evaluation, assaying the effects of both LED and fluorescent lighting (both at 2000 lux) exposure to oil in PET bottles, using a variety of sensory approaches. Threshold testing (n=66) suggested that differences in the sensory properties of soybean oil could be detected by a human panelist after only 32h of LED exposure. Sensory flash profiling (n=21) again confirmed that light-exposed samples were perceived differently to shielded samples, with LED-exposed samples clustering together, but separately from those instead exposed to fluorescent light. These differences did not necessarily result in a drop in liking of the samples, assessed with consumer testing (n=94), despite a trend for lower liking in exposed versus shielded samples. With similar levels of light exposure, elevated dissolved oxygen levels could be mitigated with O2 scavenging. Our results suggest that soybean oil may be reaching the consumer at a differing quality than intended, which may be mitigated with superior packaging technologies. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Soybean oil is used widely in the US and global food systems; however, it can be damaged via light oxidation. Here, we show that human panelists can readily detect the sensory signals from light damage in oil exposed for only short periods of time, via either fluorescent or LED light sources. The results suggest that superior soybean oil could be delivered to the market if improvements in packaging technologies were considered.

Comparative Study Between Holmium Laser Versus Pneumatic Lithotripsy for the Treatment of Lower Ureteric Calculi

Objective: To compare the efficacy of Holmium laser and pneumatic lithotripsy for the treatment of lower ureteric calculi. Methods: The study included total of 218 patients divided into two groups of laser lithotripsy (LL) and pneumatic lithotripsy (PL). Study was conducted between October 2014 and September 2018. Inclusion criteria were patients with a lower ureteric single stone of size 0.8 to 1 cm and negative urine culture. An x-ray KUB and USG of KUB was mandatory. IVU also done when required. Procedures were done under spinal anesthesia. A 9.5 Fr. semi rigid ureteroscope was used for ureteroscopy in all cases. Holmium laser with 550 ìm fiber was employed in laser group and frequency was set between 20-30 Hz at energy of 0.5 to 1 Joule. Storz lithotripter was used in PL group. Postoperatively patients underwent radiography at 4th week of follow up to assess stone clearance. Results: The mean patient age in LL and PL group was 38.8±9.1(15-58) and 41.2±10.3(16-62) years, male to female ratio 1.75:1and 1.57:1 and stone size 8.94±0.98 and 8.94±0.91 mm respectively. Stone free rate at 4 weeks was 96.36 % in LL group as compared to 88.83 % in PL group(p=0.033). Stone migration up in pelvicalyceal system occurred in one (0.90%) patients of LL group while in five (4.63%) patients of PL group (p= 0.0929). DJ Stent was placed in 43(39.09%) patients in LL group whereas 64(59.25%) patients required it in PL group (p=0.0030). Complication rate was 18.18% (20) in LL group whereas it was 38.88% (42) in PL group (p=0.0038) Conclusion: Holmium laser lithotripsy is a superior technology compared to pneumatic lithotripsy in terms of rate of stone clearance and complications for lower ureteric stones.

Is “Choose One” Policy Profitable?

Some platforms with superior digital analytics service technology ask users to ``choose one of two platforms'' to restrict users’ homing choices. We develop a game-theoretic model in a duopoly setting to investigate the impacts of the ``choose one'' policy and asymmetry in digital analytics service technology on platform competition. We first examine how the asymmetry in digital analytics service technology influences equilibrium market demands, prices, and profits of the two platforms under four different users' homing scenarios. We find that under scenarios influenced by the ``choose one

 Methodology: this was an analytical, non-experimental study with a sample of 495 second-year students of the Superior Technology Specialization in Military Sciences and 196 military personnel who work at ESPE.Results: The study found 8,48 % (n: 42) prevalence of general dyslipidemia in students, differentiated by hypercholesterolemia 1,82 % (n: 9), hypertriglyceridemia 6,26 % (n: 31) and mixed dyslipidemia 0,4 % (n: 2). Additionally, it found 58,67 % (n: 115) prevalence of general dyslipidemia in professional military personnel, with hypercholesterolemia 9,18 % (n: 18), hypertriglyceridemia 25,51 % (n: 50) and mixed dyslipidemia 23,98 % (n: 47). Finally, the lower limit to diagnose dyslipidemia for body mass index in students was 25,67 kg/m2, for waist circumference 76,5 cm and for waist height ratio 0,47, and in professional military personnel, body mass index of 26,3 kg/m2, waist circumference of 86 cm and waist height ratio of 0,52.
 Conclusions: the students and military personnel studied have a significantly low prevalence of dyslipidemia compared to the general student and military personnel population and the values of WC and WHtR were seen to be good predictors of dyslipidemia in military personnel but not in the students.
 
 
 

PAPR Reduction and Bit Error Rate Evaluation in OFDM System using Hybrid Techniques

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become an important component of waveform generation in wideband transmission. it's a superior technology for the high-speed rate of wired and wireless communication systems. Currently, multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO OFDM) systems are crucial wireless communication systems like 4G and 5G networks & tactical communication. The OFDM has many advantages over other techniques like its high capacity and immunity against multipath fading channels. However, one amongst the foremost drawbacks of the OFDM system is that the high-peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) that leads the system to provide in-band distortion and out-of-band radiation and reduces its efficiency. This problem increases with a rise within the number of transmit antennas. Therefore, it's highly desirable to cut back the PAPR of an OFDM signal. For this, numerous techniques are proposed to beat the PAPR problem like i) Selective mapping (SLM) ii) Partial transmit sequence (PTS), iii) Clipping, iv) Clipping and filtering. All of those are reduced the PAPR by generating alternative subcarrier vector that are statistically independent OFDM symbols for a given data frame and transmitting the symbol with rock bottom peak power. During this paper we also proposed, some hybrid techniques. The hybrid techniques are the technique of clipping is employed in conjunction with SLM and PTS to cut back computational complexity. And also the combination of SLMPTS to scale back PAPR. Simulations are acquainted with analyze the efficiency of the techniques used which signifies OFDM to be providing much better PAPR reduction and a way better Bit Error Rate (BER). it's shown in simulation results that the proposed scheme performs well reducing PAPR. But the proposed scheme is more complex than the prevailing techniques.

Nollywood: A Dark Horse Dreams of Becoming the Black Swan

NollywoodA Dark Horse Dreams of Becoming the Black Swan Tade Ipadeola (bio) Click for larger view View full resolution Click for larger view View full resolution Named after Hollywood and Bollywood, Nollywood—Nigeria's motion-picture industry—began on VHS tapes, literally gained altitude as in-flight offerings in the 1990s, and now has films streaming on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Nigerian poet and lawyer Tade Ipadeola traces this rise of the industry, along with its rising scrutiny. To begin where we are, as the poet Czesław Miłosz exhorts, is a great piece of advice when it comes to Nollywood. Born ostensibly on the wrong side of the tracks and named after more famous cousins, Hollywood in the United States and Bollywood in India, Nollywood stubbornly climbed into some reckoning as a motion-picture industry. When the word "Nollywood" began to gain currency in the early 1990s, it was as some kind of insider joke. At the time, the motion pictures from Nigeria were not big-budget celluloid affairs but VHS home videos. They were produced daily. The quality, for the most part, was so abysmal that purists could not but object to their description as films. The Nollywood "films" nevertheless began to sell, and soon the African diaspora began to patronize them. Nostalgia has its uses. And then, by and by, the world took notice. When King of Boys, a film by Kemi Adetiba, premiered in 2018, it went on to win a brace of awards at the Africa Movie Academy Awards. It was a modest commercial success and was followed by a sequel, King of Boys 2, in 2021. There is something of the je ne sais quoi of Nollywood in the story [End Page 30] of those works and in the story of their producer. Very few movies from Nollywood have mastered social topics in the way that the film and its sequel did. The works held a serious mirror to the face of Lagos—and Nigeria—deftly navigating the power blocs of a vibrant and protean society. All these things the film did in the guise of a thriller with a vixen at its heart. The first films in Nigeria were made and directed by men, but women have more than made up for starting out of the block late. And they are leveling up as actors and producers every passing day. King of Boys is available on Netflix. Living in Bondage, produced by Ken Nnebue in 1992, followed by a sequel in 1993, is widely regarded as the first true Nollywood blockbuster. In the way that serendipity often finds its moments, Nnebue happened upon a glut of magnetic media that was soon to be superseded by superior digital technologies and capitalized on his moment. One remarkable thing about the work today, when compared with contemporary productions, is how basic and rudimentary the production was. The grain and texture of these pictures are somewhat quaint and can be sampled on YouTube. Coming after the age of celluloid film productions had ground to a halt in Nigeria, Living in Bondage, made in the Igbo language (with subtitles in English), was distributed mainly as VHS tapes to a worldwide audience. The story, not the technique, was the ultimate magnet. Between 1996 and 1998, Tade Ogidan produced Owo Blow, a Yoruba Nollywood trilogy. The cast of that production, most of them making their cameo appearances at the time, are now big-time actors and central figures in Nollywood. The production was a critical success, and the ambition it demonstrated has since been imitated in innumerable films from Nollywood. Nigeria at the time was the subject of many economic sanctions due to the peculiar barbarity of Sani Abacha, the military ruler in charge. Abacha ran death squads, hanged Ken Saro-Wiwa, a notable Nigerian writer and screenwriter—alongside eight of his Ogoni brothers—for protesting the oil pollution and ill treatment of Ogoni land. The shoestring budget of Tade Ogidan for the production dictated a number of decisions he made to get the script unto the screen. If James Agee made films, some of them would be in the mold of Owo Blow. Swallow, a film by...

Fee versus royalty licensing in a Cournot duopoly with increasing marginal costs

AbstractWe consider a symmetric homogeneous Cournot duopoly operating under increasing marginal costs. One of the firms owns a patented superior technology that reduces the intercept of the marginal cost function. We compare the incentives of the insider patentee to license the technology to the rival firm either through a fixed fee or through a royalty. We obtain that royalty licensing does not necessarily dominates in our setting: when decreasing returns are important, a royalty is superior only for small enough innovations, whereas a fixed fee is chosen for large innovations. Aditionally, we show that our model is able to replicate the results in Wang (2002), which analyzes the same question in a differentiated duopoly with constant marginal costs.

A Comparative Study on the Competitiveness of Knowledge-Driven Sports Brands

With the rapid development of science and technology, sports brands are increasingly relying on knowledge-driven technology. This study uses the competitive advantage theory, comparative advantage theory, and knowledge-driven theory, referring to the evaluation principles of scientificity, operability, and effectiveness, and selects Anta, Li Ning, and Adidas as the research objects of knowledge-driven sports brand competitiveness. Using Yaaph12.7 software and multilevel index entropy method, we assign and calculate 4 secondary indexes, 12 tertiary indexes, and 35 4th-level indexes of brand strength, brand potential, brand power, and brand vitality of three brands. In addition, Anta has strong comprehensive strength and good social resources and policy support. Li Ning’s brand potential is the greatest, and the consumer group is younger. Therefore, this study draws the following conclusions: (1) The core competitiveness of knowledge-driven sports brands is the innovation-driven model of brand technology, product R&D, intangible asset value, and brand development. (2) The competitiveness of knowledge-driven sports brands pays more attention to brand potential, brand strength, and brand vitality. (3) The competitiveness of knowledge-driven sports brands needs to be combined with the latest scientific and technological means to realize the integration of brands and information technology, “Internet +,” and big data. (4) The brand size, brand resources, and other brand advantages in the knowledge-driven sports brand competition indicators are not the main influencing factors for showing the core competitiveness. This paper draws the following inspirations from the research conclusions: it is necessary for knowledge-driven sports brands to improve the ability to transform resources and stimulate the vitality of the brand market, optimize the level of brand service to meet market consumption needs, strengthen innovation-driven development and explore innovative development paths, build brand development strategy, cultivate the development of superior technology, accelerate the development of brand quality, and build an applied talent pool.

Current Trends and Perspectives in the Immune Therapy for Substance Use Disorders.

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are an extremely challenging category of disorders because of the high rate of relapse, lower life expectancy, important rate of psychiatric and somatic co-morbidity, lack of patients' insight during most of the disease duration, healthcare costs, etc. One of the reasons to consider these disorders very difficult for physicians and the healthcare system is the lack of adequate pharmacological agents with long-term proven efficacy. So far, there are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Medicines Agency (EMA)-approved treatments for most of the SUDs, except for alcohol use disorder, nicotine use disorder, and opioid use disorder. Immunotherapy has been considered a possible solution to SUDs because it may selectively target a certain drug of abuse, it may have a long-lasting effect (several weeks or months), and it ensures an adequate therapeutic adherence. The objective of this paper was to establish the current stage of research in the field of SUDs vaccines, based on a brief literature review. Vaccines for cocaine and nicotine dependence have reached phase III trials, while other researchers are focusing on passive immunization therapy for methamphetamine use disorder. New generations of vaccines are currently explored, and they are based on superior technologies compared to the first generation of immune therapy (e.g., viral transfer genes, more immunogenic adjuvants, or higher specificity haptens). Therefore, finding immune therapies for substance use disorders SUDs remains a matter of interest, and this approach may be useful for the management of an extremely dangerous and versatile psychiatric pathology.

Assessment of Proton Beam Therapy Use Among Patients With Newly Diagnosed Cancer in the US, 2004-2018

Proton beam therapy (PBT) is a potentially superior technology to photon radiotherapy for tumors with complex anatomy, those surrounded by sensitive tissues, and childhood cancers. To assess patterns of use of PBT according to the present American Society of Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) clinical indications in the US. Individuals newly diagnosed with cancer between 2004 and 2018 were selected from the National Cancer Database. Data analysis was performed from October 4, 2021, to February 22, 2022. ASTRO's Model Policies (2017) were used to classify patients into group 1, for which health insurance coverage for PBT treatment is recommended, and group 2, for which coverage is recommended only if additional requirements are met. Use of PBT. Of the 5 919 368 patients eligible to receive PBT included in the study, 3 206 902 were female (54.2%), and mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 62.6 (12.3) years. Use of PBT in the US increased from 0.4% in 2004 to 1.2% in 2018 (annual percent change [APC], 8.12%; P < .001) due to increases in group 1 from 0.4% in 2010 to 2.2% in 2018 (APC, 21.97; P < .001) and increases in group 2 from 0.03% in 2014 to 0.1% in 2018 (APC, 30.57; P < .001). From 2010 to 2018, among patients in group 2, PBT targeted to the breast increased from 0.0% to 0.9% (APC, 51.95%), and PBT targeted to the lung increased from 0.1% to 0.7% (APC, 28.06%) (P < .001 for both). Use of PBT targeted to the prostate decreased from 1.4% in 2011 to 0.8% in 2014 (APC, -16.48%; P = .03) then increased to 1.3% in 2018 (APC, 12.45; P < .001). Most patients in group 1 treated with PBT had private insurance coverage in 2018 (1039 [55.4%]); Medicare was the most common insurance type among those in group 2 (1973 [52.5%]). The findings of this study show an increase in the use of PBT in the US between 2004 to 2018; prostate was the only cancer site for which PBT use decreased temporarily between 2011 and 2014, increasing again between 2014 and 2018. These findings may be especially relevant for Medicare radiation oncology coverage policies.

Association of Race With Receipt of Proton Beam Therapy for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Cancer in the US, 2004-2018

Black patients are less likely than White patients to receive guideline-concordant cancer care in the US. Proton beam therapy (PBT) is a potentially superior technology to photon radiotherapy for tumors with complex anatomy, tumors surrounded by sensitive tissues, and childhood cancers. To evaluate whether there are racial disparities in the receipt of PBT among Black and White individuals diagnosed with all PBT-eligible cancers in the US. This cross-sectional study evaluated Black and White individuals diagnosed with PBT-eligible cancers between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2018, in the National Cancer Database, a nationwide hospital-based cancer registry that collects data on radiation treatment, even when it is received outside the reporting facility. American Society of Radiation Oncology model policies were used to classify patients into those for whom PBT is the recommended radiation therapy modality (group 1) and those for whom evidence of PBT efficacy is still under investigation (group 2). Propensity score matching was used to ensure comparability of Black and White patients' clinical characteristics and regional availability of PBT according to the National Academy of Medicine's definition of disparities. Data analysis was performed from October 4, 2021, to February 22, 2022. Patients' self-identified race was ascertained from medical records. The main outcome was receipt of PBT, with disparities in this therapy's use evaluated with logistic regression analysis. Of the 5 225 929 patients who were eligible to receive PBT and included in the study, 13.6% were Black, 86.4% were White, and 54.3% were female. The mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 63.2 (12.4) years. Black patients were less likely to be treated with PBT than their White counterparts (0.3% vs 0.5%; odds ratio [OR], 0.67; 95% CI, 0.64-0.71). Racial disparities were greater for group 1 cancers (0.4% vs 0.8%; OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.44-0.55) than group 2 cancers (0.3% vs 0.4%; OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.70-0.80). Racial disparities in PBT receipt among group 1 cancers increased over time (annual percent change = 0.09, P < .001) and were greatest in 2018, the most recent year of available data. In this cross-sectional study, Black patients were less likely to receive PBT than their White counterparts, and disparities were greatest for cancers for which PBT was the recommended radiation therapy modality. These findings suggest that efforts other than increasing the number of facilities that provide PBT will be needed to eliminate disparities.

Endogenous Abatement Technology Agreements under Environmental Regulation

In a domestic market, a duopoly produces a homogeneous final good, pollution, pollution abatement, and R&amp;D, which reduces abatement cost. One of the firms (foreign) has superior technology. The government regulates the duopoly by levying a pollution tax to maximize domestic welfare. We consider the potential implementation of three innovation agreements: cooperative research joint venture (RJV), non-cooperative RJV, and licensing. In the cooperative (non-cooperative) RJV, the firms (do not) internalize R&amp;D spillovers. We show that, for the domestic firm, the cooperative RJV dominates, and licensing is the least desirable alternative. Although licensing is dominant for the foreign firm, it is not implementable. Both RJVs are implementable. Implementation of both types of RJVs improves the competitiveness of the domestic firm and welfare. This study yields an important policy prescription: a subsidy policy that induces the foreign firm to accept a feasible cooperative RJV when it strictly prefers a feasible non-cooperative RJV is always welfare improving.

Capability upgrading through technological proximity: evidence from a leading Chinese e-bike firm

PurposeThe rapid growth of emerging market firms (EMFs) has been a topic of interest for the past two decades, especially in China. However, few studies have discussed how and why EMFs can impel the upgrading of their capabilities to quickly win competitive advantages in the global market. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to unravel the implausible upgrading phenomenon from the perspective of technological proximity.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopts a single case study, specifically that of a leading Chinese e-bike firm, with a special focus on the dynamic nature of the capability upgrading process and underlying mechanisms.FindingsThe results show that taking advantage of technological proximity is an important way for EMFs to climb the ladder of capability upgrading. The stage-based process reveals how capability upgrading is achieved through elaborate actions related to technological proximity. Furthermore, this study finds three learning mechanisms behind the technological proximity, which enable firms to successfully upgrade to higher levels of capabilities. In particular, the trigger role played by contextual conditions in guiding firms' capability upgrading is highlighted and characterized.Research limitations/implicationsThis study enriches traditional capability upgrading literature from a technological proximity perspective, especially the traditional static upgrading research related to EMFs. The authors also contribute to the conceptualization of technological proximity. However, the research setting is China's e-bike industry; therefore, the study's generalizability to other emerging markets and industries may be limited.Practical implicationsThe results show that it is important to recognize the value of the transfer and sharing of technology between proximal industries for local governments. Also, appropriate policies should be developed to break down the technology barriers between these industries. Moreover, rather than catching up with the superior technologies of multinational corporations in advanced countries, focusing on products with high technological proximity in local or regional areas may be more helpful for EMFs' upgrading.Originality/valueThis paper investigates the capability upgrading process and mechanisms in EMFs, particularly with respect to the role played by technological proximity.

A Multifunctional Flexible Composite Film with Excellent Multi‐Source Driven Thermal Management, Electromagnetic Interference Shielding, and Fire Safety Performance, Inspired by a “Brick–Mortar” Sandwich Structure

AbstractThe rapid development of portable flexible electronic devices means a multifunctional composite film with excellent thermal management capability, high electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and a strong fire safety performance is urgently required. In this paper, inspired by a “brick–mortar” sandwich structure, phase change capsules (PCCs) and MXene nanosheets are prepared. Subsequently, a one‐step vacuum‐assisted filtration method is used to fabricate a multifunctional flexible PCC/MXene/polyvinyl alcohol (PMP) phase change composite film with high light‐to‐thermal conversion efficiency, Joule heating generation, fire safety, and EMI shielding effects. The superior preparation technology endows the film with multi‐source driven thermal management capabilities and excellent EMI shielding effectiveness values (43.13 dB). In addition, the PMP film exhibits good flexibility and high enthalpy (136.8 J g−1). Surprisingly, the PMP film's excellent fire safety properties improve its reliability and safety. In summary, the simple preparation technique and outstanding overall performance of the PMP films provide broad application prospects in advanced thermal management and EMI shielding in wearable products.

A Rapid Dual Feature Tracking Method for Medical Equipments Assembly and Disassembly in Markerless Augmented Reality

Markerless Augmented Reality (MAR) is a superior technology that is currently used by the medical device assembler with aid in design, assembly, disassembly and maintenance operations. The medical assembler assembles the medical equipment based on the doctors requirement, they also maintains quality and sanitation of the equipment. The major research challenges in MAR are as follows: establish automatic registration parts, find and track the orientation of parts, and lack of depth and visual features. This work proposes a rapid dual feature tracking method i.e., combination of Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and Matched Pairs Selection (MAPSEL). The main idea of this work is to attain high tracking accuracy using the combined method. To get a good depth image map, a Graph-Based Joint Bilateral with Sharpening Filter (GRB-JBF with SF) is proposed since depth images are noisy due to the dynamic change of environmental factors that affects tracking accuracy. Then, the best feature points are obtained for matching using Oriented Fast and Rotated Brief (ORB) as a feature detector, Fast Retina Key point with Histogram of Gradients (FREAK-HoG) as a feature descriptor, and Feature Matching using Rajsk’s distance. Finally, the virtual object is rendered based on 3D affine and projection transformation. This work computes the performance in terms of tracking accuracy, tracking time, and rotation error for different distances using MATLAB R2017b. From the observed results, it is perceived that the proposed method attained the least position error value about 0.1 cm to 0.3 cm. Also, rotation error is observed as minimal between 2.40 (Deg) to 3.10 and its average scale is observed as 2.7140. Further, the proposed combination consumes less time against frames compared with other combinations and obtained a higher tracking accuracy of about 95.14% for 180 tracked points. The witnessed outcomes from the proposed scheme display superior performance compared with existing methods.
