Commercial Real Property Instalment Land Contracts
No full textPurpose This paper reports the results of an investigation of the use of instalment land contracts (ILCs) in the Montgomery County, Ohio commercial real property market. Design/methodology/approach Generalized spatial two-stage least squares regression is used to analyze data from 164 ILC financed commercial property transactions and 918 traditionally financed commercial property transactions, all of which were initiated between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2023. Findings In our sample, the use of ILCs for the acquisition of commercial real estate is concentrated on relatively low-value properties. A bargaining power imbalance was discovered; the price ILC vendees promised to pay was more than buyers using traditional financing paid for similar property. Practical implications The results suggest that some commercial property investors use ILCs because they cannot qualify for a loan from an institutional lender, and some may benefit from the additional regulations that ILC critics have proposed. Originality/value This is the first published empirical study of ILC use in a local commercial property market
Terahertz SAR Measurements of 1/60th Scale Models for Rapid Object Recognition Development
No full textIn this paper, we present the results of an ongoing Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) research collaboration with Wright State University, Etegent LLC, and the Air Force Institute of Technology to produce more representative scale model measurements. As part of this collaboration, we developed an innovative radar measurement system that operates in the Terahertz band (500-750 GHz). This work is guided by the principle of producing scale model measurements that are representative of operational sensor system measurements of full-sized ground vehicles, which led to the development of the terahertz band system and the construction of 1/60 scale models of military ground vehicles. Here we present results using two different RF bands: 1/24 scale models at Ka-band (27-39 GHz) and 1/60 scale models in the Terahertz (570-630 GHz) band for the same nominal collection geometry. We present measured and corresponding synthetic predictions for use with error analysis and validation
A Community-Driven Vision for a New Knowledge Resource for AI
No full textThe long-standing goal of creating a comprehensive, multi-purpose knowledge resource, reminiscent of the 1984 Cyc project, still persists in AI. Despite the success of knowledge resources like WordNet, ConceptNet, Wolfram|Alpha and other commercial knowledge graphs, verifiable, general-purpose, widely available sources of knowledge remain a critical deficiency in AI infrastructure. Large language models struggle due to knowledge gaps; robotic planning lacks necessary world knowledge; and the detection of factually false information relies heavily on human expertise. What kind of knowledge resource is most needed in AI today? How can modern technology shape its development and evaluation? A recent AAAI workshop gathered over 50 researchers to explore these questions. This paper synthesizes our findings and outlines a community-driven vision for a new knowledge infrastructure. In addition to leveraging contemporary advances in knowledge representation and reasoning, one promising idea is to build an open engineering framework to exploit knowledge modules effectively within the context of practical applications. Such a framework should include sets of conventions and social structures that are adopted by contributors
The Biological Effects of Soy Isoflavones against Myocardial Ischemia-reperfusion Injuries
No full textBackground: Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (MIRI) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes that lead to the death of ischemic cardiomyocytes and, finally, dysfunction of cardiac tissue. Objectives: This systematic review aims to comprehensively investigate and systematically review the existing literature on the effects of soy isoflavones and their underlying mechanisms in mitigating MIRI injuries. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in high-coverage scientific databases, including Web of Science, MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Library. On 6th December, 2023, an extensive literature search was done using predefined search terms (According to MeSH terms) and inclusion criteria. Any studies that investigated the effects of soy isoflavones on MIRI injuries were included. Search strategy, screening of the publications, and data extraction were performed following PRISMA guidelines 2020. Results: Diverse mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective effects of soy isoflavones against MIRI include antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, enhanced mitochondrial function, regulation of apoptosis pathways, improving angiogenesis effects, attenuating heart histological changes, modulating factors that affect hemodynamic changes, and reducing Ca+2 overload. Although most studies reported promising effects in reducing the complications of MIRI, a small number of studies also showed no significant effect in this regard. Also, they did not report any specific side effects from consuming isoflavones alone. Conclusion: The findings suggest that soy isoflavones as a complementary therapeutic strategy potentially benefit MIRI outcomes and support their role in cardiovascular health. However, further well-designed clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings and establish their clinical significance in cardiovascular disease management

Utilization of Watermelon Rind Waste Powder for Developing Bakery Products
Get PDFWatermelon rind waste powder (WRWP) is a rich source of dietary fiber and bioactive compounds; hence it could be used to develop functional foods such as bakery products. The present study aimed to utilize WRWP in bakery products development. The treatments included: T1 = Cake without WRWP, T2 = Cake with 10 % WRWP, T3= Cake with 20 % WRWP, T4= Biscuit without WRWP, T5 = Biscuit with 10 % WRWP, T6 = Biscuit with 20 % WRWP. The physicochemical and nutritional properties of watermelon rind waste powder were also determined. The physicochemical, nutritional and sensory properties of the cake (T1 to T3) and biscuit (T4 to T6) samples differed significantly (P \u3c 0.05). In cake samples, average values for pH and moisture remained significantly higher in T1. The fat content and energy value remained significantly higher in T2. However, dry matter content, ash, protein, crude fiber, total soluble solids, carbohydrate, color, flavor, taste, aroma and overall acceptability remained significantly higher in T3. In the case of biscuit samples, average values found significantly higher in T4 were pH and moisture. Whereas fat content and energy value remained significantly higher in T5. However, dry matter content, ash, protein, crude fiber, total soluble solids, carbohydrate, color, flavor, taste, aroma and overall acceptability remained significantly higher in T6. The study concludes that WRWP can improve the nutritional value and sensory properties of bakery products. Both cake and biscuit treatments with 20 % WRWP showed optimal nutrient content. Therefore, the bakery products developed by incorporating WRWP are nutritionally rich, making them a healthy addition to the diet
