Abstract Introduction Here we report estimates of glomerular basement membrane (GBM) thickness in the Brazilian population performed using direct (DM) and orthogonal interception methods (OIM), and comment on potential sources of variation among estimates made by different laboratories. Methodology A total of 38 patients, ranging from 3 to 78 years of age, 26 (68%) males and 12 (32%) females, were submitted to kidney biopsy procedures for renal disease diagnosis. Glomeruli were diagnosed with minor histological changes by conventional, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. GBM thickness was estimated using both DM and OIM methods. Results Estimates of GBM thickness obtained using DM were higher than those obtained by OIM. However, the application of a correction for non-perpendicular membrane sectioning to DM estimates yielded similar results to those obtained under OIM. The estimated GMB thickness using DM after correction was 289 + 44 nm, versus 287 + 48 nm by OIM. No statistically significant differences were detected in GMB thickness, nor with respect to patient age or sex. Conclusions GBM thickness in the studied Brazilian population measured approximately 290 nm. The application of criteria for estimating the shortest distance between the endothelial and podocyte cell membranes with correction for non-perpendicular membrane sectioning can increase the accuracy of GBM thickness estimates using DM and OIM.

Since Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic because it has spread throughout the world, every effort has been made to help prevent and tackle the transmission of Covid-19, including information technology. Information technology developed to determine the shortest distance for Covid-19 cases around us needs to be developed. This research implements Dijkstra's Algorithm written in the React Native programming language to build a Covid-19 tracking application. The system can display the closest distance with a radius of at least one meter, and the test results can map the nearest radius of 41 meters and the most immediate radius of 147 meters. This system is built for the compatibility of Android OS and iOS applications with React Native programming.

This study aims to determine the shortest route in the application of online transportation services which is the main attraction for entrepreneurs who want to start looking for their fortune in technology and transportation, given the enormous opportunity where the human population is very large. increased, and some human activities had to be carried out. fulfilled. Some online transportation service companies use paid features provided by Google to determine the shortest distance and route, thus costing a lot of money. In this study, to determine the shortest route on a journey, it is necessary to calculate using an algorithm method, namely the dijkstra algorithm which is an algorithm used to solve the problem of the shortest route or the shortest path from one point to another at a point. weighted graph, The distance between vertices is the weight value of each edge in the graph. A graph that has a weight must be positive (weight >= 0). Dijkstra's algorithm itself uses a greedy strategy in its operation, where in each step the chosen one with the smallest weight connects the selected node with other nodes that have not been selected. Keywords: dijkstra algorithm, online transportation service, shortest route,

This optimization is an optimization case that organizes all possible and feasible solutions in discrete form. One form of combinatorial optimization that can be used as material in testing a method is the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). In this study, the bat algorithm will be used to find the optimum value in TSP. Utilization of the Metaheuristic Algorithm through the concept of the Bat Algorithm is able to provide optimal results in searching for the shortest distance in the case of TSP. Based on trials conducted using data on the location of student street vendors, the Bat Algortima is able to obtain the global minimum or the shortest distance when compared to the nearest neighbor method, Hungarian method, branch and bound method.

According to the planting agronomy of Lycium barbarum L. in Ningxia, a self-propelled straddle-type sprayer was designed. The aim was to reduce the labor requirements, improve the spraying effect to the middle and lower parts of the canopy, reduce the influence of natural wind on droplet drift, and recycle excess liquid medicine to reduce environmental pollution. Tests showed that the coverage rate of liquid medicine on the leaf surface and back of the leaf peaked at 84.2% and 48.3%, respectively, when spraying pressure was high. Under different spraying distances, the coverage rate of liquid medicine on leaf surface and back of leaf reached 73.3% and 38.3% at the shortest distance. The uniformity of the spray droplet distribution was good, the use error was less than 10%, and the excess liquid was effectively recovered.

Accurate inventory allows for more precise forecasting, including profit projections, easier monitoring, shorter outages, and fewer delivery interruptions. Moreover, the long hours of physical labor involved over such a broad area and the effect of inefficiencies could lead to less accurate inventory. Unreliable data and predictions, unannounced stoppages in operations, production delays and delivery, and a considerable loss of profit can all arise from inaccurate inventory. This paper extends our previous work with drones and RFID by evaluating: the number of flights needed to read all tags deployed in the field, the number of scans per pass, and the optimum drone speed for reading tags. The drone flight plan was divided into eight passes from southwest to northwest and back at a horizontal speed of 2.2, 1.7, and 1.1 m per second (m/s) at a vertically fixed altitude. The results showed that speed did not affect the number of new tags scanned (p-value > 0.05). Results showed that 90% of the tags were scanned in less than four trips (eight passes) at 1.7 m/s. Based on these results, the system can be used for large-scale nursery inventory and other industries that use RFID tags in outdoor environments. We presented two novel measurements on evaluating RFID reader efficiency by measuring how fast the reader can read and the shortest distance traveled by the RFID reader over tag.

Femtocell is one of solutions to improve quality of services and network capacity for users in indoor areas. Radio resources used by femtocells are shared from macrocell network, thus it saves the use of frequency spectrum. However, one of problems in deploying femtocells within coverage area of macrocells is interference due to radio resources sharing between femtocells and macrocells. It creates interferences called as cross-tier (macrocell-femtocell/femtocell-macrocell) and co-tier (macrocell-macrocell/femtocell-femtocell) interferences. This paper proposes a relay-based clustering method to mitigate interference in femtocells located in the whole edge area of macrocell and the cell edge area of sectorized macrocells. Relay nodes are deployed statically (fixed location) in the neighboring macrocell area. Relay node will recruit their members based on the shortest distance. Certain relay node’s members do not need to transmit large amounts of power to enhanced Node B (eNB), such that interference from Macrocell User Equipment (MUE) to Home enhanced Node B (HeNB) can be minimized. Simulation experiments has been carried out and optimistic results for the sectorized macrocells scenario show that Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratio (SINR) of femtocells for the conventional system that does not reach the targeted SINR of 20 dB is 87%. Meanwhile, after applying the relay-based clustering method, SINR value of femtocells below or equal to 20 dB reaches 72%. Optimistic results for throughput and Bit Error Rate (BER) show improvement of 15% and 14%, respectively. It has been shown that the relay-based clustering method can provide better performance compared to the conventional system even for femtocells densely deployed.

Three isomeric (benzyloxythienyl)oxazolines 9, 11 and 13 have been prepared and are found, upon treatment with a strong base, to undergo either Wittig rearrangement or intramolecular attack of the benzylic anion on the oxazoline function to give products derived from cleavage of the initially formed 3-aminothienofuran products. This pattern of reactivity is directly linked to the distance between the two reactive groups as determined by X-ray diffraction, with the greatest distance in 11 leading to exclusive Wittig rearrangement, the shortest distance in 13 giving exclusively cyclisation-derived products, and the intermediate distance in 9 leading to both processes being observed. The corresponding N-butyl amides were also obtained in two cases and one of these undergoes efficient Wittig rearrangement leading to a thieno[2,3-c]pyrrolone product.

Purpose: The known preformed osteosynthesis plates for the midface are helpful tools for a precise and fast fixation of repositioned fractures. The purpose of the current study is to analyze the precision of newly developed prototypes of preformed osteosynthesis plates for the mandible. Methods: Four newly designed preformed osteosynthesis plates, generated by a statistical shape model based on 115 CT scans, were virtually analyzed. The used plates were designed for symphyseal, parasymphyseal, angle, and condyle fractures. Each type of plate has three different sizes. For analysis, the shortest distance between the plate and the bone surface was measured, and the sum of the plate-to-bone distances over the whole surface was calculated. Results: A distance between plate and bone of less than 1.5 mm was defined as sufficient fitting. The plate for symphyseal fractures showed good fitting in 90% of the cases for size M, and in 84% for size L. For parasymphyseal fractures, size S fits in 80%, size M in 68%, and size L in 65% of the cases. Angle fractures with their specific plate show good fitting for size S in 53%, size M in 60%, and size L in 47%. The preformed plate for the condyle part fits for size S in 75%, for size M in 85%, and for size L in 74% of the cases. Conclusion: The newly developed mandible plates show sufficient clinical fitting to ensure adequate fracture reduction and fixation.
