Due to the immutability of blockchain, the integration with big-data systems creates limitations on redundancy, scalability, cost, and latency. Additionally, large amounts of invaluable data result in the waste of energy and storage resources. As a result, the demand for data deletion possibilities in blockchain has risen over the last decade. Although several prior studies have introduced methods to address data modification features in blockchain, most of the proposed systems need shorter deletion delays and security requirements. This study proposes a novel blockchain architecture called Unlichain that provides data-modification features within public blockchain architecture. To achieve this goal, Unlichain employed a new indexing technique that defines the deletion time for predefined lifetime data. The indexing technique also enables the deletion possibility for unknown lifetime data. Unlichain employs a new metadata verification consensus among full and meta nodes to avoid delays and extra storage usage. Moreover, Unlichain motivates network nodes to include more transactions in a new block, which motivates nodes to scan for expired data during block mining. The evaluations proved that Unlichain architecture successfully enables instant data deletion while the existing solutions suffer from block dependency issues. Additionally, storage usage is reduced by up to 10%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Radiator reliability is crucial in environments characterized by high temperatures and friction, where prompt interventions are often required to prevent system failures. This study introduces a proactive approach to radiator fault diagnosis, leveraging the integration of the Gaussian Mixture Model and Long-Short Term Memory autoencoders. Vibration signals from radiators were systematically collected through randomized durability vibration bench tests, resulting in four operating states—two normal, one unknown, and one faulty. Time-domain statistical features of these signals were extracted and subjected to Principal Component Analysis to facilitate efficient data interpretation. Subsequently, this study discusses the comparative effectiveness of the Gaussian Mixture Model and Long Short-Term Memory in fault detection. Gaussian Mixture Models are deployed for initial fault classification, leveraging their clustering capabilities, while Long-Short Term Memory autoencoders excel in capturing time-dependent sequences, facilitating advanced anomaly detection for previously unencountered faults. This alignment offers a potent and adaptable solution for radiator fault diagnosis, particularly in challenging high-temperature or high-friction environments. Consequently, the proposed methodology not only provides a robust framework for early-stage fault diagnosis but also effectively balances diagnostic capabilities during operation. Additionally, this study presents the foundation for advancing reliability life assessment in accelerated life testing, achieved through dynamic threshold adjustments using both the absolute log-likelihood distribution of the Gaussian Mixture Model and the reconstruction error distribution of the Long-Short Term Memory autoencoder model.

NEWCASTLE disease virus , *COVID-19 , *SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant , *SARS-CoV-2 , *COVID-19 vaccines - Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) became a pandemic, causing significant burden on public health worldwide. Although the timely development and production of mRNA and adenoviral vector vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been successful, issues still exist in vaccine platforms for wide use and production. With the potential for proliferative capability and heat stability, the Newcastle disease virus (NDV)-vectored vaccine is a highly economical and conceivable candidate for treating emerging diseases. In this study, a recombinant NDV-vectored vaccine expressing the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2, rK148/beta-S, was developed and evaluated for its efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 in K18-hACE-2 transgenic mice. Intramuscular vaccination with low dose (106.0 EID 50) conferred a survival rate of 76 % after lethal challenge of a SARS-CoV-2 beta (B.1.351) variant. When administered with a high dose (107.0 EID 50), vaccinated mice exhibited 100 % survival rate and reduced lung viral load against both beta and delta variants (B.1.617.2). Together with the protective immunity, rK148/beta-S is an accessible and cost-effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ongoing global spread of Newcastle disease underscores the crucial need for continued research on the efficacy of current vaccines against various circulating strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The fusion gene of a representative Egyptian genotype VII.1.1 strain was used to substitute its corresponding gene in the K148/08 vaccinal strain after site directly mutating its cleavage site from 112RRQKRF117 to 112GKQGRL117. Fusion gene exchange between GVII and GI did not affect the thermostability of GI K148/08. Attenuation of the rescued virus was confirmed by mean death time 144 h with an intracerebral pathogenicity index of 0.00. Survival analysis after the challenge experiment confirmed that 107 EID50 was the protective dose of rK148/GVII-F. The haemagglutination inhibition level of antibodies required for full clinical protection was > 3.3 log2 for rK148/GVII-F and > 4.1 log2 for both K148/08 and LaSota. Oropharyngeal viral shedding was reduced on the 5th and 7th days post-challenge in the rK148/GVII-F vaccinated group. Replication and tropism investigations confirmed the respirotropic nature of LaSota, enterotropic nature of K148/08, and further attenuation of rK148/GVII-F. Altogether, rK148/GVII-F is a thermostable, safe, effective, and genetically stable vaccine candidate that could be adequate for use in countries that encounter GVII.1.1 and in those with tropical climate, such as most Middle Eastern countries. A thermostable, safe, and effective NDV GVII recombinant vaccine was generated. Fusion gene replacement with GVII did not affect GI K148/08 virus thermostability. Strain rK148/GVII-F provided adequate protection against a lethal NDV challenge. Oropharyngeal shedding was significantly reduced on post-challenge days 5 and 7. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2020, the Y280-lineage H9N2 low-pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) was introduced into South Korea for the first time. Current vaccines are focused on the control of Y439-like viruses; however, there are continuous reports of decrease in egg production and secondary infections caused by Y280-lineage H9N2 LPAI infection in chickens. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective novel vaccines against Y280-lineage H9N2 LPAI. Most commercialized avian influenza vaccines are oil-adjuvanted inactivated vaccines, which are labour-intensive to administer and require higher dosage. In this study, rK148/Y280-HA, a novel recombinant Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vectored vaccine against Y280-lineage H9N2 LPAI, was developed and evaluated using two mass-applicable administration methods, spray vaccination and drinking water vaccination. Regardless of low serum antibody haemagglutination inhibition titres against NDV and Y280-lineage H9N2 LPAI after applying the rK148/Y280-HA vaccine, vaccination with either administration method protected chickens against virulent NDV and Y280-lineage H9N2 LPAIV after the challenge. Taken together, these results indicate that the rK148/Y280 vaccine can be administered using facile mass-application methods to provide protection against the Y280-lineage LPAI. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS NDV vectored vaccine harbouring Y280-lineage H9N2 HA protein was successfully generated. NDV vectored vaccine provides protection against NDV. NDV vectored vaccine with H9N2 HA protects against homologous H9N2 LPAIV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HUMAN activity recognition , *DEEP learning , *CONVOLUTIONAL neural networks , *LEARNING - Abstract
In this study, we propose a novel deep-learning architecture with sparse learning for human activity recognition. The proposed model contains 1D CNNs and LSTM layers with a self-attention mechanism to enhance a substantial number of time points in time-series data for human activity recognition systems. Based on the recent success of squeeze-and-excite (SE) networks, the proposed deep learning model utilizes the SE module to enhance channel-wise interdependencies, which in turn leads to a boost in performance. In addition, we utilized sparse learning to retrain only weak nodes and freeze stronger nodes in a fully connected layer prior to classification layer. Furthermore, we utilized an entropy-inspired formula to find sparsely located weaker nodes and validated our model on various datasets, including Opportunity, UCI-HAR, and WISDM. Herein, we present an extensive analysis and survey of state-of-the-art studies, in addition to our proposed research. For a fair comparison, we evaluated our deep learning architecture using various performance metrics and achieved better results; the proposed model outperformed state-of-the-art algorithms for human activity recognition.

Recently, emerging edge computing technology has been proposed as a new paradigm that compensates for the disadvantages of the current cloud computing. In particular, edge computing is used for service applications with low latency while using local data. For this emerging technology, a neural network approach is required to run large-scale machine learning on edge servers. In this paper, we propose a pod allocation method by adding various graphics processing unit (GPU) resources to increase the efficiency of a Kubernetes-based edge server configuration using a GPU-based embedded board and a TensorFlow-based neural network service application. As a result of experiments performed on the proposed edge server, the following are inferred: 1) The bandwidth, according to the time and data size, changes in local (20.4–42.4 Mbps) and Internet environments (6.31–25.5 Mbps) for service applications. 2) When two neural network applications are run on an edge server consisted with Xavier, TX2 and Nano, the network times of the object detection application are from 112.2 ms (Xavier) to 515.8 ms (Nano); the network times of the driver profiling application are from 321.8 ms (Xavier) to 495.7 ms (Nano). 3) The proposed pod allocation method demonstrates better performance than the default pod allocation method. We observe that the number of allocatable pods on three worker nodes increases from five to seven, and compared to other papers, the proposed offloading shows similar or better response times in environments where multiple deep learning applications are implemented.

This study aims to propose a novel approach for gender recognition using best feature subset based on recursive feature elimination (RFE) in normal walking. This study has focused on the analysis of gait characteristics by distinguishing the gait phases as initial contact (IC), Mid-stance (MS), Pre-swing, and swing (SW), and collected the large number of gait to improve the reliability of quantitative assessment of natural variability associated with muscle activity during free walking. The gait system was designed using pressure and a tri-axis accelerometer sensor, and a 9-channel electromyography sensor for measuring the data. Gender recognition method was proposed using support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) based on RFE to determine best feature subset. Statistical results show that effects of gender-based differences on gait characteristic including temporal, kinematics, and muscle activity were investigated. The temporal parameters of stride time and gait cycle (%) in the gait phases of IC, MS, and SW were significantly different between females and males (p < 0.01). The females exhibited both a lower angle and a root mean square acceleration of the knee joint as compared to the males, and there was a clear gender-based difference with respect to knee angle movement. In addition, most muscle activation measurements in the females were larger than those of the males with respect to the gait phases. Gender classification result shows that SVM-RFE was 99.11% (SVM classifier) and RF-RFE was 98.89% (SVM and RF classifier), having powerful performance. • The paper investigates the statistical effect of gender-based differences on gait. • The paper has focused to analysis gait characteristics in gait sub-phases. • A novel approach for gender classification is proposed using RFE. • The paper has the powerful performance for gender classification using SVMRFE.

AVIAN influenza A virus , *INFLUENZA vaccines , *LACTOCOCCUS , *VIRAL vaccines , *AVIAN influenza , *PLANT extracts - Abstract
Influenza epidemics frequently and unpredictably break out all over the world, and seriously affect the breeding industry and human activity. Inactivated and live attenuated viruses have been used as protective vaccines but exhibit high risks for biosafety. Subunit vaccines enjoy high biosafety and specificity but have a few weak points compared to inactivated virus or live attenuated virus vaccines, especially in low immunogenicity. In this study, we developed a new subunit vaccine platform for a potent, adjuvant‐free, and multivalent vaccination. The ectodomains of hemagglutinins (HAs) of influenza viruses were expressed in plants as trimers (tHAs) to mimic their native forms. tHAs in plant extracts were directly used without purification for binding to inactivated Lactococcus (iLact) to produce iLact‐tHAs, an antigen‐carrying bacteria‐like particle (BLP). tHAs BLP showed strong immune responses in mice and chickens without adjuvants. Moreover, simultaneous injection of two different antigens by two different formulas, tHAH5N6 + H9N2 BLP or a combination of tHAH5N6 BLP and tHAH9N2 BLP, led to strong immune responses to both antigens. Based on these results, we propose combinations of plant‐based antigen production and BLP‐based delivery as a highly potent and cost‐effective platform for multivalent vaccination for subunit vaccines.
