Saints and “Possession”: A Case Review Bordering Ethnopsychiatry and Cultural Diversity
Abstract The migrations of modern times have exposed psychiatrists and other medical experts to elements from other cultures which have to be recognised and discerned from pathology. In the present paper, we offer an overview of both historical and modern witnessings of various kinds of “possession”, with shedding light on the whole process of diagnostics—taking into account all aspects that make a person as an individual: with particular emphasis on origin, lifestyle, moral values,...

Expression of a highly active β-glucosidase from Aspergillus niger AS3.4523 in Escherichia coli and its application in gardenia blue preparation
Abstract Purpose Gardenia blue is one of the natural food additives used in East Asia for many years. Its biosynthesis relies on a key rate-limiting cellulase: β-glucosidase (BGL), which mainly exists in Aspergillus niger (A. niger) cells. The purpose of this study was to obtain active β-glucosidase by cell engineering method and applied to gardenia blue synthesis, which would help to promote the application and reduce the cost of...

Mechanisms of Floor Heave in Roadways Adjacent to a Goaf Caused by the Fracturing of a Competent Roof and Controlling Technology
In traditional sequential single-wing mining practices, one-entry longwall mining systems make it challenging to efficiently and smoothly transfer mining equipment during a continuous mining sequence. In two-entry longwall systems, the headgate of the current panel and the tailgate of the next panel are excavated parallel to one another, effectively creating space for the transfer of mining equipment. The tailgate of the panel, however, is subjected to high-mining-induced stresses, causing severe...

The Existence of the Sign-Changing Solutions for the Kirchhoff-Schrödinger-Poisson System in Bounded Domains
In this paper, we study a class of the Kirchhoff-Schrödinger-Poisson system. By using the quantitative deformation lemma and degree theory, the existence result of the least energy sign-changing solution is obtained. Meanwhile, the energy doubling property is proved, that is, we prove that the energy of any sign-changing solution is strictly larger than twice that of the least energy. Moreover, we also get the convergence properties of as the parameters and .

An Efficient Design of Systematic Rateless Codes
The asymptotic performance of systematic rateless codes is first analysed using Gaussian approximation (GA) based on mutual information, which provides more accurate decoding thresholds than the method based on message mean. A modified linear program (LP) algorithm is proposed, where two key parameters are precomputed to efficiently search degree distributions with low overhead and appropriate average degree. The asymptotic analysis and simulation results show that the optimized code outperforms...

Proapoptotic and Antiangiogenic Activities of Arctium Lappa L. on Breast Cancer Cell Lines
In this study, the bioactivity-guided fractionation was conducted on the aerial parts of Arctium lappa L. and then the extracts were tested in vitro on breast cancer (MCF-7), colorectal cancer (HCT-116), and normal cells (EA.hy926). The n-hexane fraction (EHX) of the ethanolic extract showed strong activity against both MCF-7 and EA.hy926 cell lines (IC50 values: 14.08 ± 3.64 and 27.25 ± 3.45 μg/mL, respectively). The proapoptotic activity of EHX was assessed using MCF-7. Morphological alterations...

Implementation of a Framework for Healthy and Diabetic Retinopathy Retinal Image Recognition
The feature extraction stage remains a major component of every biometric recognition system. In most instances, the eventual accuracy of a recognition system is dependent on the features extracted from the biometric trait and the feature extraction technique adopted. The widely adopted technique employs features extracted from healthy retinal images in training retina recognition system. However, literature has shown that certain eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR), hypertensive retinopathy,...

The Stability of Magnetic Levitation Milling System Based on Modal Decoupling Control
Milling stability not only reduces the surface quality of the workpiece but also seriously restricts the high-speed development of CNC machine tools. The electric spindle rotor system with the active magnetic bearing has a strong gyro coupling effect, and with the increasing rotor speed, it will become a major unfavorable factor for the stability of the system during high-speed milling. The strong gyro coupling effect makes the stability region narrow at the time of high-speed milling. So, a modal...

Annexin A2 Expression in the Aerogenous Spread of Pulmonary Invasive Mucinous Adenocarcinoma with Gastric Lineage
Spread through air spaces (STAS) is a unique form of lung cancer progression associated with a worse prognosis. However, the mechanisms underlying STAS and the associated proteins remain unclear. Annexin A2 (ANX A2), which is a membrane-binding protein involved in cell adhesion, is known to promote cancer invasion. In this report, we describe the immunohistochemical analysis of ANX A2 expression in an invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMAC) resected from a 63-year-old man in whom the tumor cells...

Dynamic Analysis, Circuit Design, and Synchronization of a Novel 6D Memristive Four-Wing Hyperchaotic System with Multiple Coexisting Attractors
In this work, a novel 6D four-wing hyperchaotic system with a line equilibrium based on a flux-controlled memristor model is proposed. The novel system is inspired from an existing 5D four-wing hyperchaotic system introduced by Zarei (2015). Fundamental properties of the novel system are discussed, and its complex behaviors are characterized using phase portraits, Lyapunov exponential spectrum, bifurcation diagram, and spectral entropy. When a suitable set of parameters are chosen, the system exhibits...

Proton Pump Inhibitor-Induced Galactorrhea in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: A Friend or Foe?
Over the last decades, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been widely used as the mainstay for treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal side effects, gastroesophageal reflux, and peptic ulcer disease. However, their safety profile has come into question recently after reports relating them to several side effects as well as kidney disease. Omeprazole, one of the mainly used PPIs, is almost entirely metabolized by the liver but the resulting metabolites are renally excreted. These metabolites...
