Abstract:
The distal part of the tetrapod limb, the autopod, is characterized by the presence of digits. The digits display a wide diversity of shapes and number reflecting selection pressure for functional adaptation. Despite extensive study, the different aspects of digit patterning, as well as the factors and mechanisms involved are not completely understood. Here, we review the evidence implicating Hox proteins in digit patterning and the interaction between Hox genes and the Sonic hedgehog/Gli3 pathway, the other major regulator of digit number and identity. Currently, it is well accepted that a self-organizing Turing-type mechanism underlies digit patterning, this being understood as the establishment of an iterative arrangement of digit/interdigit in the hand plate. We also discuss the involvement of 5’ Hox genes in regulating digit spacing in the digital plate and therefore the number of digits formed in this self-organizing system.

Abstract:
The statistical and structural characteristics of 13 matrices of random numbers in which both the cells and the entries were randomly chosen are discussed. Each matrix was explored considering row means, standard deviations, and correlations as well as column means, standard deviations, and correlations. A study concerning the sequential arrangement of digits was performed by finding out in tables of random numbers how many times the values 0 to 9 are followed by any other digit. Analyses indicate clear factor structures when factor analyzing correlations of rows and of columns and when examining sequential arrangements, concluding that for a given set of digits it is possible to assert both randomness and nonrandomness depending on how the data are examined.

Abstract:
All-trans-retinoic acid causes striking digit pattern changes when it is continuously released from a bead implanted in the anterior margin of an early chick wing bud. In addition to the normal set of digits (234), extra digits form in a mirror-symmetrical arrangement, creating digit patterns such as a 432234. These retinoic acid-induced pattern duplications closely mimic those found after grafts of polarizing region cells to the same positions with regard to dose-response, timing, and positional effects. To elucidate the mechanism by which retinoic acid induces these pattern duplications, we have studied the temporal and spatial distribution of all-trans-retinoic acid and its potent analogue TTNPB in these limb buds. We find that the induction process is biphasic: there is an 8-h lag phase followed by a 6-h duplication phase, during which additional digits are irreversibly specified in the sequence digit 2, digit 3, digit 4. On average, formation of each digit seems to require between 1 and 2 h. The tissue concentrations, metabolic pattern, and spatial distribution of all-trans-retinoic acid and TTNPB in the limb rapidly reach a steady state, in which the continuous release of the retinoid is balanced by loss from metabolism and blood circulation. Pulse-chase experiments reveal that the half-time of clearance from the bud is 20 min for all-trans-retinoic acid and 80 min for TTNPB. Manipulations that change the experimentally induced steep concentration gradient of TTNPB suggest that a graded distribution of retinoid concentrations across the limb is required during the duplication phase to induce changes in the digit pattern. The extensive similarities between results obtained with retinoids and with polarizing region grafts raise the possibility that retinoic acid serves as a natural "morphogen" in the limb.

Abstract:
This research investigated the effects of dyadic seating arrangement as it related to performance on the Digit Span and Digit Symbol subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised (WAIS—R) and on anxiety as measured by the “Now” version of the Affective Adjective Check List. The WAIS—R subtests and the “Now” version of the check list were administered to 40 men and 40 women to determine correlation of seating arrangement with sex of subject and performance on the WAIS—R subtests and “Now” check list. Seating arrangement (subject seated face-to-face with a desk between, versus the corner of a desk between subject and experimenter) and sex of subject had no significant effect on WAIS—R subtest scores. State anxiety was unrelated to scores or dyad seating arrangement or sex of subjects.

Abstract:
Abstract. Number magnitude is assumed to be holistically represented along a single mental number line. Recently, we have observed a unit-decade-compatibility effect which is inconsistent with that assumption (Nuerk, Weger, & Willmes, 2001) . In two-digit Arabic number comparison, we have demonstrated that compatible comparisons in which separate decade and unit comparisons lead to the same decision (32_47, 3 < 4 and 2 < 7) were faster than incompatible trials (37_52, 3 < 5, but 7 > 2). Because overall distance was matched, a holistic model could not account for the compatibility effect. However, one could argue that the compatibility effect was due to the specific vertical perceptual arrangement of the two-digit numbers in Nuerk et al.’s (2001) experiment where the decade digits and unit digits were presented column-wise above each other. To examine this objection, we studied the perceptual generality of the compatibility effect with diagonal presentation. We replicated the compatibility effect with diagonal presentation. It is concluded that the compatibility effect is not due to encoding characteristics imposed by the perceptual setting of the original experiment. In particular, the assumption of an overall analog magnitude representation for two-digit numbers is not consistent with these data.

Abstract:
Adapting grasp-specialized biomechanical structures into current research with 3D-printed prostheses may improve robotic dexterity in grasping a wider variety of objects. Claw variations across various bird species lend biomechanical advantages for grasping motions related to perching, climbing, and hunting. Designs inspired by bird claws provide improvements beyond a human-inspired structure for specific grasping applications to offer a solution for mitigating a cause of the high rejection rate for upper-limb prostheses. This research focuses on the design and manufacturing of two robotic test devices with different toe arrangements. The first, anisodactyl (three toes at the front, one at the back), is commonly found in birds of prey such as falcons and hawks. The second, zygodactyl (two toes at the front, two at the back), is commonly found in climbing birds such as woodpeckers and parrots. The evaluation methods for these models included a qualitative variable-object grasp assessment. The results highlighted design features that suggest an improved grasp: a small and central palm, curved distal digit components, and a symmetrical digit arrangement. A quantitative grip force test demonstrated that the single digit, the anisodactyl claw, and the zygodactyl claw designs support loads up to 64.3 N, 86.1 N, and 74.1 N, respectively. These loads exceed the minimum mechanical load capabilities for prosthetic devices. The developed designs offer insights into how biomimicry can be harnessed to optimize the grasping functionality of upper-limb prostheses.

Abstract:
This study assessed the effectiveness of four competitive pasture species—Premier digit grass (Digitaria eriantha Steud. var. Premier), Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth.), sabi grass (Urochloa mosambicensis Hack.), and buffel grass (Pennisetum ciliare L.) against the toxic annual riceflower (Pimelea trichostachya Lindl.) at varying planting densities and ratios. At six plants pot−1, with a 66:33 grass-to-weed ratio, riceflower biomass decreased by 73.7%, 82.5%, 73.7%, and 60.6% when grown alongside Premier digit, Rhodes, sabi, and buffel grasses, respectively. Similarly, with four plants pot−1 at a 75:25 ratio, reductions were 69.1%, 79.8%, 71.0%, and 44.5%, respectively. Annual riceflower experienced the greatest suppression when grown with Rhodes grass, showing aggressivity index (AI) values of −60.2 and −67.2 and relative crowding coefficient (RCC) values of 0.4 for both six and four plants pot−1. Premier digit grass also suppressed riceflower effectively, with riceflower AI values of −35.6 and −36.7 and RCC values of 0.5 and 0.6. Buffel grass had the least impact, with riceflower AI values of −41.1 and −27.9 and RCC values of 0.9 and 2.0. Sabi grass also demonstrated good suppressive effects, though slightly less than the top two species. Higher planting densities generally resulted in stronger riceflower suppression. The results highlight the importance of considering planting density, arrangement, and key plant traits when selecting pasture species for successful weed control. Based on these findings, we conclude that Premier digit grass and Rhodes grass show promising potential for effective suppression of annual riceflower growth.

Abstract The first is obviously constructed according to a simple rule; it consists of the number 01 repeated 10 times. If one were asked to speculate on how the series might continue, one could predict with considerable confidence that the next two digits would be O and 1. Inspection of the second series of digits yields no such comprehensive pattern. There is no obvious rule governing the formation of the number, and there is no rational way to guess the succeeding digits. The arrangement seems haphazard; in other words, the sequence appears to be a random as sortment of Os and ls.

Abstract In this book’s introduction, Dr. Googol explained his love of integers and hinted he would seldom discuss complicated numbers like Ji with an infinite number of digits. Please forgive him for this brief yet fascinating digression into transcendental numbers. The mathematical constant pi, denoted by the Greek letter it, represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It is the most famous ratio in mathematics both on Earth and probably for any advanced civilization in the universe. The number π, like other fundamental constants of mathematics such as e = 2.718 . . . , is a transcendental number. The digits of π and e never end, nor has anyone detected an orderly pattern in their arrangement. Humans know the value of n to over a billion digits.

Abstract:
The central theme of this book is the representation of information in a formal and precise manner. We therefore have to try and describe what information is before we can go on and talk about its representation. Also, we need to indicate why we want to utilize a formal means of representation. We are all experts in the subject of information — we use it every day. Unfortunately, information is an intangible and it is difficult to talk about intangibles; most of the time we do not even think about such matters but rest comfortably with an intuitive feel for such things. Good question! According to Webster’s, information is, among other things, 1: The communication of or reception of knowledge or intelligence 2a: Knowledge obtained from investigation, study or instruction 2b: The attribute inherent in and communicated by one or two or more alternating sequences or arrangements of something (as nucleotides in DNA or binary digits in a computer program) that produces specific effects 2c: A signal or character (as in a communication system or computer) representing data. From the same source, we learn that data is Factual information (as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation. The salient words that we are concerned with are knowledge, communication and data. In general we are concerned about information in the real world. To make matters more precise, we introduce our own definition of information. Definition 1 Information is knowledge of ideas, facts and/or processes. Information can be communicated, that is it may be transferred between two or more partners. (Strictly speaking, as the producer and user of information may be one and the same, only a single ‘partner’ may be involved.) This may be done in real time or there may be a delay between one partner sending the information and another receiving it. For example, the authors wrote this document long before anyone else read it. Consequently, information storage is just a special case of communication. The ultimate goal in information modeling is to formulate descriptions of real world information so that it may be processed and communicated efficiently without any knowledge of its source and without making any assumptions.

Full text
Abstract:
During the last few years OPRA has been working intensively on the development of an ultra low emissions combustor for the OP16 gas turbine. The main focus has been on the combustion of liquid fuels (diesel fuel #2), but a natural gas and a dual fuel system has also been developed. The most important aspect of the development has been the patented Controlled Fuel Air Ratio (COFAR) system incorporating the venturi premixer, the air valve and the fuel injection nozzle. The original diesel fuel injection nozzle of the OP16 was a hybrid design, comprising a pressure swirl central injector surrounded by a classic air-blast atomizer. While the emissions with this fuel nozzle were quite good (30 ppm up to 85% load), subsequent natural gas tests demonstrating single digit emissions, while running at a higher average flame temperature indicated that there was scope for improvement of the fuel preparation system. It was clear that atomization, evaporation and mixing of the diesel fuel could be further improved. For better understanding of the combustion of diesel fuel, an atomization and mixing model was developed, to study the quality of the fuel/air mixture leaving the pre-mixer. Based on the results of this study, a fuel nozzle system, using multipoint injection with small pressure swirl nozzles was selected. Three different sets of atomizers have been evaluated and a nozzle arrangement comprising five identical pressure swirl nozzles showed the best results. The emissions on diesel fuel with the new injector proved very satisfactory. The NOx concentration was kept below 25 ppm from 50% load up to 90% load and below 30 ppm at full load. CO and UHC were well below 10 ppm. These low emissions were achieved by running at a low flame temperature (below 1820K). Furthermore, no combustion dynamics or flame instability was observed.

Abstract:
Gas Technology Institute (GTI) has been advancing the POGT concept since 1995. The progress to date of a GTI-led team on the development and testing of a POGT prototype, and POGT-based systems are presented. There are two main features that distinguish a POGT from a conventional gas turbine: the design arrangement and the thermodynamic processes used in operation. One unique feature is utilization of a non-catalytic partial oxidation reactor (POR) in place of a typical combustor. An important secondary distinction is that a much smaller compressor is required, one that typically supplies less than half of the air flow required in a conventional gas turbine. From a thermodynamic point of view, the working fluid provided by the POR (a secondary fuel gas) has much higher specific heat than complete combustion products. This allows higher energy per unit mass of fluid to be extracted by the POGT expander than is the conventional case. A POR operates at fuel rich conditions, typically at equivalence ratios on the order of 2.5, and virtually any hydrocarbon fuel can be combusted. Because of these fuel rich conditions, incomplete combustion products are used as the hot section working fluid. A POGT thus produces two products: power and a secondary fuel that usually is a H2 rich gas. This characteristic can lead to high efficiencies and ultra-low emissions (single digit NOx and CO levels) when the secondary fuel is burned cleanly in a bottoming cycle. When compared to the equivalent standard gas turbine bottoming cycle combination, the POGT provides an increase of about 10 percentage points in overall system efficiency. Two areas of recent development are addressed in the paper: POGT development and experimental evaluation of a 7 MWth pressurized non-catalytic POR installed at GTI; and examples of POGT-based systems for combined generation of power, heat, syngas, hydrogen, etc. The POGT design approach to convert an existing engine into a POGT by replacing its combustor with a POR together with concomitant modifications of other engine components is discussed. Experimental results of the POR operation include descriptions of major operating conditions: start up, light off conditions, lean combustion mode, lean-to-rich transition, and operation in rich partial oxidation mode at different loads and air to fuel ratios. The overall efficiency of a POGT two-stage power system is typically high and can approach 70% depending on the POGT operating conditions and the chosen bottoming cycle. The bottoming-cycle can be either a low pressure (or vacuum) combustion turbine, or an internal combustion engine, or a solid oxide fuel cell, or any combination of them. In addition, the POGT can be used as the driver for cogeneration systems. In such cogeneration systems the bottoming cycle can be a fuel-fired boiler, an absorption chiller, or an industrial furnace. The POGT is ideally suited for the co-production of power and either hydrogen, or synthesis gas (syngas), or chemicals. Some of these important applications are discussed.

Abstract:
This paper describes a reduced NOx and CO, partially premixed flame combustor that has been developed for the 175 kW Advanced Integrated Microturbine System (AIMS) recuperated cycle gas micro-turbine. The AIMS turbine is equipped with a recuperated silo combustor. The new, reduced emissions combustor retains key features of the conventional Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustors; the differences are the arrangement of the premixers, the novel head-end assembly design, and the liner cooling and dilution features. The combustion system was designed and tested at the GE Global Research facilities in Niskayuna, NY and leverages technology developed by GE Power Systems (GEPS) and GE Aircraft Engines (GEAE). Laboratory tests show that when firing with natural gas, without water or steam injection, NOx and CO emissions from the new combustor are in single digits at full-speed, full-load conditions. CO emissions show a strong pressure effect, increasing at base load (when compared to similar conditions in commercial combustors running at higher pressures). The standard combustor on the AIMS gas turbine is a reversed flow cylindrical can. An array of 4 fuel nozzles is located at the head end of the can and produces a swirl stabilized premixed flame. The liner contains an array of cooling and dilution holes that provide the air needed to dilute the burned gas to the desired turbine inlet temperature.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the world. The World Health Organization or WHO issued guidelines the public must follow to prevent the spread of the disease. This includes social distancing, the wearing of facemasks, and regular washing of hands. These guidelines served as the basis for formulating policies by countries affected by the pandemic. In the Philippines, the government implemented different initiatives, following the guidelines of WHO, that aimed to mitigate the effect of the pandemic in the country. Some of the initiatives formulated by the administration include international and domestic travel restrictions, community quarantine, suspension of face-to-face classes and work arrangements, and phased reopening of the Philippine economy to name a few. The initiatives implemented by the government during the surge of COVID-19 disease have resulted in varying reactions from the citizens. The citizens expressed their reactions to these initiatives using different social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. The reactions expressed using these social media platforms were used to analyze the sentiment of the citizens towards the initiatives implemented by the government during the pandemic. In this study, a Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Network-Long Short-term memory - Support Vector Machine (BRNN-LSTM-SVM) hybrid sentiment classifier model was used to determine the sentiments of the Philippine public toward the initiatives of the Philippine government to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The dataset used was collected and extracted from Facebook and Twitter using API and www.exportcomments.com from March 2020 to August 2020. 25% of the dataset was manually annotated by two human annotators. The manually annotated dataset was used to build the COVID-19 context-based sentiment lexicon, which was later used to determine the polarity of each document. Since the dataset contained unstructured and noisy data, preprocessing activities such as conversion to lowercase characters, removal of stopwords, removal of usernames and pure digit texts, and translation to the English language were performed. The preprocessed dataset was vectorized using Glove word embedding and was used to train and test the performance of the proposed model. The performance of the Hybrid BRNN-LSTM-SVM model was compared to BRNN-LSTM and SVM by performing experiments using the preprocessed dataset. The results show that the Hybrid BRNN-LSTM-SVM model, which gained 95% accuracy for the Facebook dataset and 93% accuracy for the Twitter dataset, outperformed the Support Vector Machine (SVM) sentiment model whose accuracy only ranges from 89% to 91% for both datasets. The results indicate that the citizens harbor negative sentiments towards the initiatives of the government in mitigating the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the study may be used in reviewing the initiatives imposed during the pandemic to determine the issues which concern the citizens. This may help policymakers formulate guidelines that may address the problems encountered during a pandemic. Further studies may be conducted to analyze the sentiment of the public regarding the implementation of limited face-to-face classes for tertiary education, implementing lesser restrictions, vaccination programs in the country, and other related initiatives that the government continues to implement during the COVID-19 pandemic.
