In this paper, parallel GPU-based versions of the three Rao metaphor-less optimization algorithms are proposed and used to solve large-scale nonlinear equation systems, which are hard to solve with traditional numerical methods, particularly as the size of the systems get bigger. The parallel implementations of the Rao algorithms were performed in Julia and tested on a high-performance GeForce RTX 3090 GPU with 10 496 CUDA cores and 24 GB of GDDR6X VRAM using a set of challenging scalable systems of nonlinear equations. The computational experiments carried out demonstrated the efficiency of the proposed GPU-accelerated versions of the Rao optimization algorithms, with average speedups ranging from 57.10 × to 315.12 × for the set of test problems considered in this study. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.

Propylparaben (PrP) and dichloropropylparaben (diClPrP) are found in soil worldwide, mainly due to the incorporation of urban sludge in crop soils and the use of non-raw wastewater for irrigation. Studies on the adverse effects of PrP on plants are incipient and not found for diClPrP. PrP and diClPrP were evaluated at concentrations 4, 40, and 400 µg/L for their phytotoxic potential to seeds of Allium cepa (onion), Cucumis sativus (cucumber), Lycopersicum sculentum (tomato), and Lactuca sativa (lettuce), and cytotoxic, genotoxic potential, and for generating oxygen-reactive substances in root meristems of A. cepa bulbs. PrP and diClPrP caused a significant reduction in seed root elongation in all four species. In A. cepa bulb roots, PrP and diClPrP resulted in a high prophase index;in addition, PrP at 400 µg/L and diClPrP at the three concentrations significantly decreased cell proliferation and caused alterations in a significant number of cells. Furthermore, diClPrP concentrations induced the development of hooked roots in onion bulbs. The two chemical compounds caused significant changes in the modulation of catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and guaiacol peroxidase, disarming the root meristems against hydroxyl radicals and superoxides. Therefore, PrP and diClPrP were phytotoxic and cytogenotoxic to the species tested, proving dangerous to plants. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.

Gas vesicles (GVs), nanostructure gas-filled protein-shelled compartments, act as ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs). Recent works report bioengineered GvpC, one of the shell proteins, potentializes interactions with specific molecules in tumor microenvironment. An important target of investigation is Cathepsin B (CTSB), an enzyme produced by several tumors. CTSB acts in the tumoral microenvironment to increase tumor growth and invasion. This work objective relied on bioengineering the GVs to promote the GvpC-CTSB interaction with a subsequent increase of ultrasound (US) signal backscattered. GvpC was engineered to contain a known CTSB cleavage sequence re-added in striped GV (ΔGV). Western Blot (WB) test was used to compare the GVwt (wild type) and GV∗ (GV engendered) before and after 24 hours reaction with CTSB. US images for PBS (negative control), GVtw, ΔGV, GV∗ and CTSB+GV∗, were obtained in 21MHz (5% total power) and regions-of-interest (ROIs) over the final B-mode image were determined. The WB test for GVwt resulted in mean (±SD) GvpC concentrations of 25169 (±8574) and 32873 (±9113) and GV∗ was 32487 (±6867) and 12763 (±2846), at t0 and t24, respectively. The US image gray level intensities for the ROIs related to the samples of PBS, GVwt, ΔGV, GV∗ and CTSB+GV∗ were 55.8 (±17.6), 47.4 (±16.6), 46.1 (±22.8) and 150.2 (±24), respectively. These results reveal an increase in the US signal backscattered from GV∗ after CTSV reaction. This increase is likely related to a direct GvpC degradation by CTSB, without affecting the GV∗ structure. In conclusion, high frequency US B-mode images showed the GV∗ with the potential to act as an UCA sensitive to the CTSB presence in tumoral microenvironment. © 2023 IEEE.

The ubiquity of smartphone and tablet devices, combined with the increasing availability of serious games, has enabled students to learn various abstract concepts in an appealing and convenient manner. While several researchers have explored the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in serious games, many of these games have not been critically explained or evaluated. To that end, we employed game-based learning methodologies and Game Learning Analytics (GLA) to systematize the design and evaluation of an AR-based serious game to teach programming. We evaluated our game for usability and effectiveness by conducting a user study on twenty-seven undergraduate students. The evaluation primarily consisted of a learning test conducted twice – before and after playing the game – along with a usability questionnaire that players completed after playing the game. Our results showed that players made significant progress after playing the game. The game helped players improve their basic programming skills, especially for the group having lower prior programming skills. The results highlighted various ways in which GLA can be used to benefit different stakeholders in the game. Based on players’ qualitative responses, we also identified several areas of improvement, most prominently the trade-off between ease of use and game complexity. We provide suggestions and discuss implications for future work. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd

Solar radiation is a varied source of energy, and the mismatch between the availability of these sources and domestic energy demand is a major challenge that must be faced. Energy storage system can be considered as effective solution to overcome the challenge in solar energy utilization. In this work, a thermal box was prepared as energy storage testing apparatus by using a 5W lamp as the heat source located at the center of the box. In the middle of thermal box, the sample of phase change material (PCM) was placed and monitored in order to find out the charging and discharging characteristics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the charging and discharging performance of NaCl–KCl eutectic salt at various ratios. The specific heat capacity and density of all PCM samples were also tested during this investigation. The changes in temperature were observed through type-k thermocouple sensors equipped with data logger. In general, it can be concluded that reducing KCl portion in PCM slightly decreases the specific heat capacity. Experiment results showed that PCM-1 (eutectic salt with 30 wt% NaCl–70 wt% KCl) has the highest specific heat capacity, i.e., 6.93 J/g˚C. The highest rate of charging and discharging was exhibited by PCM-1, highlighting a positive effect of KCl content in eutectic salt. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.

The development of third-generation photovoltaic (TGPV) technologies promises to address some of the limitations of conventional silicon-based solar cells. However, the scalability of these technologies is a critical factor in their practical application. TGPV include Perovskite Solar Cells (PSC), Organic Solar Cells (OSC), and Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). This paper reviews and summarizes the recent trends and research on the deposition techniques and modularity of TGPV. Various deposition techniques such as slot-die coating, thermal evaporation, and spray pyrolysis are discussed, along with their advantages and limitations. Modularity, which allows for the integration of TGPV cells into different structures, is also examined as a critical factor in scalability. The paper concludes that the scalability of TGPV technologies depends on the development of efficient and cost-effective deposition techniques and modularity, which will facilitate the integration of the TGPV cells into various structures and enable the widespread use of these promising technologies. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

Surface reconstruction is a classical process in industrial engineering and manufacturing, particularly in reverse engineering, where the goal is to obtain a digital model from a physical object. For that purpose, the real object is typically scanned or digitized and the resulting point cloud is then fitted to mathematical surfaces through numerical optimization. The choice of the approximating functions is crucial for the accuracy of the process. Real-world objects such as manufactured workpieces often require complex nonlinear approximating functions, which are not well suited for standard numerical methods. In a previous paper presented at the ISMSI 2023 conference, we addressed this issue by using manually selected approximation functions via optimization through the cuckoo search algorithm with Lévy flights. Building upon that work, this paper presents an enhanced and extended method for surface reconstruction by using height-map surfaces obtained through a combination of exponential, polynomial and logarithmic functions. A feasible approach for this goal is to consider continuous bivariate distribution functions, which ensures consistent models along with good mathematical properties for the output shapes, such as smoothness and integrability. However, this approach leads to a difficult multivariate, constrained, multimodal continuous nonlinear optimization problem. To tackle this issue, we apply particle swarm optimization, a popular swarm intelligence technique for continuous optimization. The method is hybridized with a local search procedure for further improvement of the solutions and applied to a benchmark of 15 illustrative examples of point clouds fitted to different surface models. The performance of the method is analyzed through several computational experiments. The numerical and graphical results show that the method is able to recover the shape of the point clouds accurately and automatically. Furthermore, our approach outperforms other alternati
