 Abstract

This research article presents an experimental analysis of how lubricant viscosity impacts the vibration behavior of rolling element bearings. Using an FFT analyzer, the study investigates the vibrational responses under varying conditions, utilizing three lubricant grades: NLGI 1, NLGI 2, and NLGI 3. The bearings were tested under three different loads (3 kg, 6 kg, and 9 kg) and three rotational speeds (300 rpm, 600 rpm, and 900 rpm). The analysis revealed that lubricant viscosity significantly influences the vibration characteristics of the bearings. Among the tested lubricants, NLGI 2 demonstrated superior performance and stability across all test conditions. This grade effectively minimized vibration amplitudes, providing better-damping properties compared to NLGI 1 and NLGI 3. The findings suggest that selecting the appropriate lubricant viscosity is crucial for optimizing the operational performance and longevity of rolling element bearings, particularly in varying load and speed conditions. This research contributes valuable insights for industries aiming to enhance machinery reliability through informed lubrication strategies.

 Abstract

Background: Non-traumatic shoulder pain is the third most common cause of consultations for musculoskeletal pain in primary health care. Despite being one of the most common reasons for consultation, there is no established protocol for treatment due to the complexity of its etiology. However, it has been shown that the presence of myofascial trigger points on the shoulder muscles is a common condition associated with patients suffering from shoulder pain. This protocol has been created which describes the design of a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the inclusion of dry needling(DN)within a protocol of manual physiotherapy and therapeutic exercise in the treatment of Chronic Shoulder Pain Of Unspecific origin. Methods: Thirty-six participants aged 18-65 years will be recruited having mechanical chronic shoulder pain on unspecific origin and meeting the inclusion criteria. These will be randomized to one of two interventions, (i) DN, manual physiotherapy and therapeutic exercise or (ii) sham DN, manual physiotherapy and therapeutic exercise. The protocol will cover 6 weeks of treatment, with a 6-month follow-up. Our main outcome measure will be the Visual Analogue Scale For pain. Discussion: This is the first study to combine the use of DN, manual physiotherapy and an exercise program with a 6-monthfollow-up,thus becoming a new contribution to the treatment of chronic shoulder pain, while new lines of research may be established to help determine the effects of D Non chronic shoulder pain and the frequency and proper dosage.

Today's organ donation and transplantation systems encounter a multitude of requirements and challenges. These challenges span various stages, including the registration of donors, matching donors with recipients, the removal and delivery of organs, and the transplantation procedures. Each stage must comply with a complex web of legal, clinical, ethical, and technical constraints. To address these multifaceted needs and ensure a process that is both fair and efficient, thereby enhancing patient experience and building trust, an integrated end-to-end organ donation and transplantation system is essential. To achieve this, we propose a solution based on a private Ethereum blockchain. This technology is designed to manage the entire organ donation and transplantation process in a manner that is secure, traceable, auditable, private, and trustworthy. By leveraging blockchain technology, we can ensure that every step of the process is recorded immutably and transparently, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the system. Our approach includes the development of smart contracts that automate the recording of events, thereby ensuring the provenance and integrity of data throughout the process. These smart contracts facilitate the secure and transparent execution of various tasks, from donor registration to organ matching and transplantation. In summary, our proposed private Ethereum blockchain solution aims to revolutionize the organ donation and transplantation system by making it more secure, transparent, and reliable, ultimately improving patient outcomes and trust in the system.

Skin cancer, among the deadliest cancers, poses a significant threat when not detected and treated promptly. Sun exposure accelerates the proliferation of skin cells, leading to its development. Early detection is crucial to prevent its spread to other parts of the body. This study proposes a computerized technique for skin cancer classification, capitalizing deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. The dataset encompasses nine distinct types of skin cancer: seborrheic keratosis, actinic keratosis, benign keratosis, nevus, vascular lesions, basal cell carcinoma, dermatofibroma, melanoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, the aim is to develop a CNN model capable of accurately diagnosing and categorizing skin cancer into these classes. By integrating image processing and deep learning techniques, augmented with various image augmentation strategies, the dataset's diversity is enhanced, thereby improving the model's robustness and generalization capability. The eventual aim is to achieve notable performance metrics for classification tasks adopting the CNN approach. The expected outcomes include a weighted average precision of 0.88, a weighted average recall of 0.74, a weighted average f1-score of 0.80, and an overall accuracy of 90.51%. These metrics serve as benchmarks for evaluating the effectiveness and reliability of the suggested CNN methodology in diagnosing skin cancer.

 Abstract

The Innocents Abroad was Twain's first book, an account of his five-month sightseeing expedition to Europe and the holy land, as the Middle East was called in the 19th century. To be accurate, the researchers should acknowledge that The Innocents Abroad was technically not the first Mark Twain's book in particular (Twain 1). In 1867, as Twain was himself in New York getting ready for the trip that was to take him to Europe and the holy land, a friend of his from the old frontier leaves, gather together for a collection towards his newspaper pieces and brought them out in an anthology called The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches (1867). Partly because that book was so poorly printed and partly because it never really did very well with readers in later accounts of his career Mark Twain contend to forget the existence of that book. That is technically the first book of Mark Twain but even in Mark Twain's minds his career as a writer begins with The Innocents Abroad and this book was a very different story than that first book (Bridgman 29). It was published in 1869 and it was an immediate success with readers. It came to selling a hundred thousand copies in its first year. It was in fact during his lifetime the best-selling of all his books. Even if he wanted to, his contemporaries would not have let him forget The Innocents Abroad, it became a standard against which all the rest of his books were measured (Speake 30). So, if we think of him mainly as the author of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, for most of his career he was most immediately recognizable for the author of this travel book, The Innocent Abroad or the New Pilgrims' Progress.
