The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified by conducting an experiment in a large shopping-mall underground parking lot where approximately 500 vehicles can be parked. From the results of the experiment, an error of less than an average of 10 m was obtained, which shows that seamless navigation is possible using the proposed system even in an environment where GNSS does not function.This article presents the results of tests aimed at determining the effect of slide burnishing parameters on the surface roughness of shafts made of 42CrMo4 heat-treatable steel. The burnishing process was carried out using tools with polycrystalline diamond and cemented carbide tips. Before burnishing, the samples were turned on a turning lathe to produce samples with an average surface roughness Ra = 2.6 µm. The investigations were carried out according to three-leveled Hartley's poly selective quasi D (PS/DS-P Ha3) plan, which enables a regression equation in the form of a second-order polynomial to be defined. Artificial neural network models were also used to predict the roughness of the surface of the shafts after slide burnishing. The input parameters of the process that were taken into account included the values of pressure, burnishing speed and feed rate. Overall, the burnishing process examined leads to a reduction in the value of the surface roughness described by the Ra parameter. The artificial neural networks with the best regression statistics predicted an average surface roughness of the shafts with R2 = 0.987. The lowest root-mean-square error and mean absolute error were obtained with all the network structures analysed that were trained with the quasi Newton algorithm.Animal infections with SARS-CoV-2 have been reported in different countries and several animal species have been proven to be susceptible to infection with SARS-CoV-2 both naturally and by experimental infection. Moreover, infections under natural conditions in more than 20 mink farms have been reported where humans could have been the source of infection for minks. However, little information is available about the susceptibility of pet animals under natural conditions and currently there is no SARS-CoV-2 epidemiological assessment occurrence in household ferrets. In this study, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was evaluated in serum samples obtained from 127 household ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) in the Province of Valencia (Spain). Two ferrets tested positive to SARS-CoV-2 (1.57%) by in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay based on receptor binding domain (RBD) of Spike antigen. Furthermore, anti-RBD SARS-CoV-2 antibodies persisted at detectable levels in a seropositive SARS-CoV-2 domestic ferret beyond 129 days since the first time antibodies were detected. This study reports for the first time the evidence of household pet ferrets exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in Spain to date.Collagenated porcine-derived bone graft materials exhibit osteoconductive properties and the development of different formulations intends to enhance bone regeneration. This study aims to evaluate bone healing in a rabbit cancellous bone defect in response to grafting with different physicochemical forms of heterologous porcine bone. Twenty-six adult male New Zealand White rabbits received two critical size femoral bone defects per animal (n = 52), each randomly assigned to one of the five tested materials (Apatos, Gen-Os, mp3, Putty, and Gel 40). Animals were sacrificed at 15- and 30-days post-surgery. Qualitative and quantitative (new bone, particle and connective tissue percentages) histological analyses were performed. Histomorphometry showed statistically significant differences in all evaluated parameters between mp3 and both Putty and Gel 40 groups, regardless of the timepoint (p less then 0.05). Moreover, statistical differences were observed between Apatos and both Putty (p = 0.014) and Gel 40 (p = 0.007) groups, at 30 days, in regard to particle percentage. selleck chemicals Within each group, regarding new bone formation, mp3 showed significant differences (p = 0.028) between 15 (40.93 ± 3.49%) and 30 (52.49 ± 11.04%) days. Additionally, intragroup analysis concerning the percentage of particles revealed a significant reduction in particle occupied area from 15 to 30 days in mp3 and Gen-Os groups (p = 0.009). All mp3, Gen-Os and Apatos exhibited promising results in terms of new bone formation, thus presenting suitable alternatives to be used in bone regeneration.The spreading pattern of ovarian carcinoma is unique and unlike most other cancers, because exfoliated ovarian cancer cells primarily disseminate within the abdominal cavity, which are then transported throughout the peritoneum by physiological peritoneal fluid. An initial manifestation of a solitary peridiaphragmatic distant metastatic lymph node without peritoneal involvement is very rare. This study reports a case with an incidentally found single hypermetabolic mass in the peridiaphragmatic space without a pelvic lesion in the baseline staging 18 F-FDG PET/CT that histologically turned out to be metastatic serous papillary carcinoma due to ovarian cancer. 18F-FDG PET/CT may allow the identification of the initial manifestation of unexpected distant oligometastatic statuses of an unknown primary ovarian cancer.Despite efforts to promote infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, there is no collective review of evidence on IYCF enablers and barriers in India. This review was conducted using 2015 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Six computerized bibliographic databases, Scopus, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Embase, and Ovid MEDLINE, were searched for published studies on factors associated with IYCF practices in India from 1 January 1993, to 30 April 2020. IYCF practices examined were early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, continued breastfeeding at one year, introduction to solid semi-solid or soft foods, minimum dietary diversity, minimum meal frequency, minimum acceptable diet, continued breastfeeding at two years, predominant breastfeeding, and bottle feeding. In total, 6968 articles were retrieved, and 46 studies met the inclusion criteria. The common enablers of IYCF were higher maternal socioeconomic status (SES) and more frequent antenatal care visits (ANC) (≥3).
