In this paper we study the oscillation criteria for the second order nonlinear differential equation with delay and advanced arguments of the form $$([x(t)+a(t)x(t-{\sigma}_1)+b(t)x(t+{\sigma}_2)]^{\alpha})^{{\prime}{\prime}}+q(t)x^{\beta}(t-{\tau}_1)+q(t)x^{\gamma}(t+{\tau}_2)=0,\;t{\geq}t_0$$ where ${\sigma}_1$, ${\sigma}_2$, ${\tau}_1$ and ${\tau}_2$ are nonnegative constants and ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$ are the ratios of odd positive integers. Examples are provided to illustrate the main results.

Babesiosis, caused by Babesia microti and B. divergens, is transmitted by Ixodid ticks. Symptoms of babesiosis vary from a mild flu-like illness to acute, severe, and sometimes fatal and fulminant disease. In Korea, 7 imported babesiosis cases and 1 endemic case have been reported. We report 2 cases of severe babesiosis initially mistaken as malaria. The first patient was complicated by shock and splenic infarction, the other co-infected with Lyme disease. As the population traveling abroad increases every year, physicians should be aware of babesiosis which mimics malaria, co-infection with other diseases, and its complications.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the problems of meromorphic functions sharing values concerning periodicities and shifts. In this paper we prove the following result: Let f(z) and g(z) be two nonconstant entire functions, let $c{\in}{\mathbb{C}}{\setminus}\{0\}$, and let $a_1$, $a_2$ be two distinct finite complex numbers. Suppose that ${\mu}(f){\neq}1$, ${\rho}_2(f)<1$, and f(z) = f(z+c) for all $z{\in}{\mathbb{C}}$. If f(z) and g(z) share $a_1$ CM, $a_2$ IM, then $f(z){\equiv}g(z)$. Moreover, examples are given to show that all the conditions are necessary.

Neighbor path selection is to pre-select alternate routes in case geographically correlated failures occur simultaneously on the communication network. Conventional heuristic-based algorithms no longer improve solutions because they cannot sufficiently utilize historical failure information. We present a novel solution model for neighbor path selection by using machine learning technique. Our proposed machine learning neighbor path selection (ML-NPS) model is composed of five modules- random graph generation, data set creation, machine learning modeling, neighbor path prediction, and path information acquisition. It is implemented by Python with Keras on Tensorflow and executed on the tiny computer, Raspberry PI 4B. Performance evaluations via numerical simulation show that the neighbor path communication success probability of our model is better than that of the conventional heuristic by 26% on the average.

An investigation of noise and vibration caused by the reclamation of the foreshore around J village resulted in noise measurements of 56-84 dB at the first point, 62-81 dB at the second point, and 68-78 dB at the third point. These measurements were higher than the standard level of environmental noise that is 55 dB at noon and 45 dB at night. The vibration measurements were 61-83 dB at the first point, 63-88 dB at the second point, and 58-77 dB at the third point. These measurements were also higher than the standard level of environmental vibration that is 60 dB at noon and 54 dB at night. The measurements of scattering dust were 80 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}^3$ at the first point, 120 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}^3$ at the second point, and 169 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}^3$ at the third point. These measurements were lower than the standard level of environmental dust that is 300 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$\textrm{m}^3$/day. Although the maximum vibration level was higher than the standard level of environmental vibration, it had no influence on the construction.

In this study, both structural and microwave dielectric properties of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) cation-deficient perovskite ceramics with sintering temperature were investigated. All sample of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$. The bulk density and quality factor of the $Mg_5B_4O_{15}$ (B=Ta, Nb) ceramics were increased with increasing sinterning temperature in the range of $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$, but these were decreased the sintering temperature of above $1450^{\circ}C$. The dielectric constant of the $Mg_5Ta_4O_{15}$ ceramics was increased continuously with increasing sintering temperature. And the dielectric constant of the $Mg_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics was increased in as the sintering temperature increasesfrom $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$ but was decreased at the temperatures above $1475^{\circ}C$. In the case of the $Mg_5Ta_4O_{15}\;and\;Mg_5Nb_4O_{15}$ ceramics sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 5h, the dielectric constant, quality factor, and temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (TCRF) were 8.2, 259,473 GHz, $-10.91ppm/^{\circ}C$ and 14, 37,350 GHz, $-52.3ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The hpa gene genetically linked to the ctxa2b gene was cloned into the pTED expression vector, and the constructed pTEDhpa/ctxa2b was transformed into Excherichia coli. The fusion protein, the adhesin fused to the cholera toxin subunit A2B (CTXA2B) subunit, was expressed to high levels as inclusion bodies in E. coli. The expressed protein was partially purified by washing the inclusion bodies with working solution containing 8M Urea and 0.1M DTT. Refolding of denatured fusion protein was carried out in the presence of glutathione redox buffer. The refolded fusion protein was purified by size exclusion chromatography. The expressed fusion protein was verified by SDS-PAGE, western blotting with antibodies to both antigenic components of adhesin and cholera toxin subunit B (CTXB), and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was analyzed. The orderly assembled fusion protein was confirmed by modified Gm1-ganglioside ELISA with Abs to adhesin. The results indicate that the purified fusion protein is an Adhesin/CTXA2B protein containing the H. pylori adhesin and $G_{m1}4-ganglioside binding activity of CTXB and the expressed fusion protein in E. coli could be easily purified by the refolding process, Its molecular weight was 168kDa as estimated by size exclusion chromatography. The Adhesin/CTXA2B protein may be used as a candidate antigen for oral immunization against H. pylori.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concentration of vitamin B6 in 16 pregnant-infant pairs and 15 nonpregnant women and to investigate the relationships between vitamin B6 status of maternal-umbilical cord plasma and pregnancy outcomes. dietary intake was obtained from semiquantitative frequency questionnaire. The daily mean energy and protein intakes were higher than the recommended dietary allowance, while daily vitamin B6 was only 74% of RDA in pregnant and 73% of RDA in nonpregnant women. The main sources of vitamin B6 were vegetables and fruits in pregnant women, while cereal and starch in nonpregnant women. The plasma PLP and PL levels of pregnant women were 14.85nmol/l and 20.56nmol/l, significantly lower than those of nonpregnant women. the PLP/PL ratios of pregnant and nonpregnant women were 1.65 and 0.33, indicating that the levels of vitamin B6 was altered during pregnancy. The PLP and PL levels of umbilical cord plasma were 63.55nmol/l and 32.25nmol/l, respectively. The vitamin B6 levels of umbilical cord plasma were significantly higher than that of maternal plasm. This finding indicates that the uptake of vitamin B6 in the fetus may be due to an active placental transport mechanism. The PLP level of maternal plasma correlated positively with that of umbilical cord plasma, showing the PLP concentration of umbilical cord plasma is affected by maternal vitamin B6 status. The maternal plasma PL level showed a positive correlation to infant birth weight. The positive association has bee also found between plasma PL level of umbilical cord and Apgar 1 min score.
