Opis:
The agent technology has recently become one of the most vibrant and fastest growing areas in information technology. On of the most promising characteristics of agent is its intelligence. Intelligent agent is the agent that percepts its environment, collects all information about its environment that it needs, processes these information and then generate proper actions according to these information. This paper discusses trends and differences between two main types of intelligence that can be applied to agent: accumulative intelligence and dynamic intelligence. Accumulative intelligence is discussed with its two perspectives: moment perspective and historical perspective. Auto-vehicle driver is also discussed as an application example of accumulative intelligence. Also, MOSAIC, Mimesis, and MINDY models are reviewed as the pioneering works of dynamic intelligence.

Opis:
Estimation of satellite three-axis attitude using only one sensor data presents an interesting estimation problem. A flexible and mathematically effective filter for solving the satellite three-axis attitude estimation problem using two-axis magnetometer would be a challenging option for space missions which are suffering from other attitude sensors failure. Mostly, magnetometers are employed with other attitude sensors to resolve attitude estimation. However, by designing a computationally efficient discrete Kalman filter, full attitude estimation can profit by only two-axis magnetometer observations. The method suggested solves the problem of satellite attitude estimation using linear Kalman filter (LKF). Firstly, all models are generated and then the designed scenario is developed and evaluated with simulation results. The filter can achieve 10e-3 degree attitude accuracy or better on all three axes.

Opis:
On the discovery of gold reserves in 14 states in Sudan, traditional gold mining suddenly started to flourish and hundreds of thousands of laymen became engaged in gold extraction. The new source of revenue generation added much to the empty treasury and the loss in petroleum revenue due to cessation of the south in 2011 could thus be compensated. Since gold extraction by artisanal and small-scale gold mining does not require much finance or advanced technology, it suited unskilled workers and many young people found their way into the new business. Although gold extraction generates high revenues, the use of mercury in gold extraction poses much threat to the environment and general health of miners and the surrounding areas. The research tries to investigate the effects of traditional gold mining in Alebedia area, Berber Locality in the River Nile State. The investigation includes A/ the effects of extraction methods on the environment and general health. B/ the level of education and its distribution within the miners and how it affected the awareness of the miners about the dangers of mining activities. C/ the period of stay that miners spend in the mining area its contribution on the awareness about the dangers and diseases inflicted on the miners, D/ the effects of traditional gold mining activities on natural environmental impacts and E/ the effects of the meteorological and topographical factors, the distribution and concentration of mercury in the area and their effects on the environment and general health. The research adopted the techniques of using random sampling and quantitative qualitative in addition to the analytical techniques. The research finally concluded that traditional gold mining has positive effects on the economic side and negative effects on the environment and general health.

Opis:
Purpose: In building constructions, due to the decrease of local raw materials and for sustainability purpose, beside the need of light pieces to be used in roofing and false ceiling; an alkali-activated mortar is the new development where pozzolanic material is used instead of cement and activated by an alkaline solution. Therefore, in this research, alkali-activated mortar containing unexpanded clay as a fine aggregate with a dry density of 1652 kg/m3, compressive strength of 3.2 MPa, and thermal conductivity of 0.4 (W/m.K) was produced ,also boards were performed in a dimension of 305×152×12 mm as to use them in false ceiling, and reinforced with 0.25 and 0.5% steel fibre to improve their toughness by 370.8% and 1146.1% compared with reference boards, which made them good choice to used them in roofing and secondary ceiling. Design/methodology/approach: For preparation of alkali-activated mortar, low calcium fly ash (FA) was used as a source binder material. In addition, super-plasticizer and unexpanded clay as a fine aggregate (produce from the crushed artificial aggregate) in the ratio of 1:2.75 fly ash/fine aggregate. The paste was prepared by mixing fly ash with an alkali silicate solution, in a solid-to-liquid ratio of 0.4. Alkali silicate activator was prepared by mixing the NaOH and Na2SiO3 solutions at the mass ratios of 2.5. The concentrations of the NaOH was the same molarity of (14M).To improve the mechanical properties of the reference mortar mixture ,steel fibre with 0.25 and 0.5% content were added to the mix .The specimens were tested for water absorption, dry density, compressive strength, flexural strengths, flexural toughness, and thermal conductivity, in addition to the Scanning Electron Microscope test (SEM) for all mortar mixes. Alkali-activated mortar boards with (305×152×12 mm) were prepared and tested for flexural strength and toughness. Findings: The results indicated that the modulus of rupture for mortar boards reinforced with 0.25 and 0.5% steel fibre exhibits an increase of (3.68-12.10)%. In comparison, the toughness is increased by about 370.8% and 1146.1%, respectively, as compared with the reference mortar (without fibre) which made them resistance to accident, in addition to use them in roofing due to their thermal insulation. Research limitations/implications: Further research is needed to make a similar board using another sustainable material. We can examine the thermal insulation that we can get from these board, especially in the building in Iraq which the weather faces high temperatures. Practical implications: There is a by-product that we could get from the electricity station in Iraq. We must study how we get rid of it. Originality/value: This paper investigate how to produce a new light board using artificial aggregate made from unexpanded clay, which has many benefits in building insulation roofing.

Opis:
Several factors have crucial impact on the serviceability of underground openings including: the quality of rock mass; the presence of rock joints and their geometrical properties; the state of in-situ stress ratio; the depth below surface and opening geometry. This paper only investigates the effect of two parameters on the stability of underground shallow tunnels, namely: the presence of rock joints in the rock mass matrix and the shape of the excavation. A series of two-dimensional elasto-plastic finite-element models has been constructed using rock-soil, RS2D, software. Consequently, parametric stability analysis has been conducted for three different tunnel shapes (e.g. circular, square and horseshoe) with/without joint inclusion. Four reference points have been assigned in the tunnel perimeter (e.g. back, sidewalls and floor) to monitor the state of stress-displacement in the rock mass around them. The results indicate that the weak performance of a tunnel opening occurs with a square-shaped opening and when joints exist in the rock mass. In addition, the normal stress along joints sharply drops in the vicinity of a tunnel opening. Moreover, the direction of shear stress is reversed. Thus, it causes inward shear displacement.

Opis:
This research investigates a thermo-mechanical strength of three geometrical shape designs of an internal combustion (IC) engine piston by a finite element analysis (FEA). FEA was performed using Solidworks software for modelling geometrical piston designs, and the models were imported into ANSYS software for thermo-mechanical fatigue simulation. The work focused on predicting high stress intensity and indicated the fatigue critical regions and life of the piston shape design. AL7075-T6 aluminium alloy was used as a piston material and thermo-mechanical fatigue simulation was conducted based on the experimental stress-number of cycles recorded data from literature. Analytical results showed the similarity of the critical failure positions to some real failures in the IC engine piston, and the shape design modification of the piston. Hence, this concept can be used to satisfy the IC engine design needs at low cost.

The necessity to develop an optode array in order to probe the fetus oxygenation noninvasively regardless of the fetus position has been highlighted in previous literature. In this paper, a series of optical simulations are carried out to determine the best representation of optode array by using optical properties at systolic and diastolic states. The selection is based on the highest flux values accumulated at respective detectors. To accomplish the objective, a homogenous three-layer semi-infinite tissue model is implemented to represent the pregnant woman model. The geometry of the model as well as Monte Carlo simulation are carried out using commercial software, whereas the optical properties related to systolic and diastolic states are defined for all wavelengths. A statistical noise analysis is also introduced in order to find a sufficient number of rays to be launched into the optical tissue system.

Opis:
In the present work, the effect of various dimensionless parameters on the momentum, thermal and concentration boundary layer are analyzed. In this respect we have considered the MHD boundary layer flow of heat and transfer over a porous wedge surface in a nanofluid. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformation. These ordinary differential equations are numerically solved using fourth order Runge–Kutta method along with shooting technique. The present results have been shown in a graphical and also in tabular form. The results indicate that the momentum boundary layer thickness reduces with increasing values of the pressure gradient parameter β for different situations and also for the magnetic parameter M but increases for the velocity ratio parameter λ and permeability parameter K*. The heat transfer rate increases for the pressure gradient parameter β, velocity ratio parameter λ, Brownian motion parameter Nb and Prandtl number Pr but opposite result is found for the increasing values of the thermoporesis parameter Nt. The nanoparticle concentration rate increases with an increase in the pressure gradient parameter β, velocity ratio parameter λ, Brownian motion parameter Nb and Lewis number Le, but decreases for the thermoporesis parameter Nt. Finally, the numerical results has compared with previously published studies and found to be in good agreement. So the validity of our results is ensured.

Opis:
The increased power density, reduced switching losses with minimum electromagnetic interference (EMI), and high efficiency are essential requirements of power converters. To achieve these characteristics, soft power converters employing soft switching techniques are indispensable. In this paper, a ZCS/ZVS PWM AC/DC converter topology has been emphasized, which finds applications in high power systems such as automobile battery charging and renewable energy systems. This converter scheme maintains zero current and zero voltage switching conditions at turn on and turn off moments of semiconductor switches, respectively and soft operation of rectifier diodes that lead to negligible switching and diode reverse recovery losses. Moreover, it improves power quality and presents high input power factor, low total harmonic distortion of the input current (THDI ) and improved efficiency. The validity of theoretical analysis of the proposed converter has been carried out experimentally on a 10 kW laboratory prototype. Experimental results prove that the soft switching operation of the semiconductor switches and diodes is maintained at 98.6% rated load efficiency. In addition, the performance evaluation has been performed by comparative analysis of the proposed converter with some prior art high power AC/DC converters. Efficiencies of the proposed and prior art high power topologies have been determined for different load conditions. The highest efficiency, power factor and lower THDI of the proposed converter topology complies with international standards.

An experiment was carried out under controlled conditions in a greenhouse with sterilised soil, and 13 parameters were evaluated. The greenhouse results triggered significant differences [p<0.05] on rice plants after two-month post planting in all treatments compared with the untreated control due to pre-inoculation with three multibiocontrol agents. In addition, results showed the significant interaction amongst three multibiocontrol agents on the growth parameters of the rice plant, fresh weight of shoot and root, dry weight of shoot, root, shoot and root length and greater efficiency of reducing disease severity when treated with the Trichoderma isolate T.4679, M. guilliermondii MIR 15_ITS and C. halotolerans CIR 18_ITS individually or in combination with each other. The greenhouse experiment exhibited that C. halotolerans CIR 18_ITS alone, M. guilliermondii MIR 15_ITS alone, C. halotolerans CIR 18_ITS + C. halotolerans CIR 18_ITS and M. guilliermondii MIR 15_ITS + Trichoderma isolate T.4679 + C. halotolerans CIR 18_ITS + C. halotolerans CIR 18_ITS have greater efficiency of reducing disease infection and severity by approximately 11.11% and 6.67%, respectively, amongst all treatments mentioned.

Opis:
The design of a short range synthetic aperture imaging radar is introduced in this paper. A radar hologram is acquired using a small omnidirectional antenna that is mounted on a rotating platform. After each turn of the platform a high resolution 360° 2D image is reconstructed; a rotating window function optimizes the reconstructed image function to get the best image focus for detecting both weak and strong scatterers. The rotating window function depends on the target direction and is executed for each image point and each target direction. The size of the synthetic aperture – and thus the lateral resolution of the imaging system – is determined by the diameter of the circular antenna trajectory. In contrast to common radar scanner concepts that utilize highly directional and thus bulky antennas, the proposed scanner concept has the advantage of using a small, lightweight omni-directional antenna. The developed radar system is much more compact and the scanning mechanics are significantly simplified. Furthermore, an omni-directional antenna offers very straightforward options for powering the radar on the rotation platform. Measurement results obtained with a 24 GHz FMCW short range radar sensor illustrate the performance of the proposed SAR imaging method.

Purpose: This work aimed at evaluating the properties of the ethyl silicate-based coating that can be applied on low carbon steel. Design/methodology/approach: Two mixture ratio types (2:1, and 3:2) of resin and hardener respectively were used to prepared two specimen models (A and B). Findings: It found that some mechanical properties (tensile, hardness, and impact strength) of ethyl silicate resin were evaluated according to standard criteria. Research limitations/implications: The effect of heat treatments at various temperatures (100, 150, and 200°C) and holding at different times (10, 20 & 30) min on hardness was investigated. Practical implications: Moreover, an open circuit potential corrosion test with a solution of 3.5% Sodium Chloride at room temperature and 60°C was used to determine the corrosion resistance of low carbon steel specimens coated with the two mixture types. Originality/value: The effects of mixture ratios (for resin and hardener) and heat treatment conditions on properties of ethyl silicate-based coating were studied. From obtained results, acceptable values of tensile, hardness, and toughness were recorded. Increasing heat treatment temperature and holding time leads to enhance hardness for both model types. An open circuit potential (OCP) tests show that there is an enhancement of protective properties of ethyl silicate coatings with mixture type B in comparison with type A was achieved. Generally, the results indicate that specimen model B has higher properties as compared with specimen model A.

Opis:
In the automated environments, mobile robots play an important role to perform different tasks such as objects transportation and material handling. In this paper, a new method for a glassy elevator handling system based on H20 mobile robots is presented to connect distributed life science laboratories in multiple floors. Various labware and tube racks have to be transported to different workstations. Locating of elevator door, entry button detection, internal buttons recognition, robot arm manipulation, current floor estimation, and elevator door status checking are the main operations to realize a successful elevator handling system. The H20 mobile robot has dual arms where each arm consists of 6 revolute joints and a gripper. The gripper has two degrees of freedom. Different sensors have been employed with the robot to handle these operations such as Intel RealSense F200 vision sensor for entry and internal buttons detection with position estimation. A pressure sensor is used for current floor estimation inside the elevator. Also, an ultrasonic proximity distance sensor is utilized for checking the elevator door status. Different strategies including HSL color representation, adaptive binary threshold, optical character recognition, and FIR smoothing filter have been employed for the elevator operations. For pressing operation, a hand camera base and a new elevator finger model are designed. The elevator finger is resolved in a way to fit the arm gripper which is used also to manipulate the labware containers. The Kinematic solution is utilized for controlling the arms’ joints. A server/client socket architecture with TCP/IP command protocol is used for data exchange between Multi-Floor System and the H20 robot arms. Many experiments were conducted in life science laboratories to validate the developed systems. Experimental results prove an efficient performance with high success rate under different lightening condition.

We present the results concerning the excitation and emissions spectra of poly(N-carbazole) (PVK) blended with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene), (PVDF-HfP) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Thin films of PVK blended with PVDF-HfP (PVK:PVDF-HfP) and PVP (PVK:PVP) were prepared using doctor blade technique on spectrosil substrate. The influences of polymer blends to the excitation and emission spectra were observed under UV excitation source of a xenon lamp. The result shows a discrepancy in the maximum excitation and emission for each samples. The possible energy transfer and recombination mechanisms have been related with singlet-singlet semi-empirical INDO electronic calculation and FTIR measurements.

Opis:
Mine designers often face difficulties in selecting an appropriate mining method; however, such a method should be selected based on ore and rock characteristics. The selection of mining methods can be considered a type of multi-criteria decision making, and this depends on many factors used in the selection process. The general method used in this field is the University of British Columbia (UBC) method, which determines the criteria of the properties that are compared to determine the best and worst of several mining methods. In this paper we used as new technique which defines as Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The criteria considered in the UBC method include general shape, ore thickness, ore plunge, and grade distribution, beside the rock quality designation (RQD), and the rock substance strength (RSS). This paper presents an improved TOPSIS method based on experimental design. Additionally, this paper will introduce a modified version of the UBC method that can be employed based on Excel sheet. The best mining methods is cut and fill stoping and top slicing with the same rank equal 0.72, and the second-best mining method is square set stoping with rank equal 0.65.

Opis:
Modelling of the quantum interaction properties of nitrone on the fullerene C60 has been investigated by the use of PM3 calculations. It has been found that the interaction potential of the nitrone with the fullerene C60 led to stable complexes when the fullerene reacted with the carbon atom ($C^1$-centered) and metastable conformations with carbon atom ($C^2$-centered). We have studied the effect of two rotation characteristics (nitrone and $NOCH_2$ group) on the binding between the fullerene C60 with the nitrone. Our results suggested that the binding energy is lower as the nitrone rotation increases and the $NOCH_2$ group rotation showed more effect. The fullerene C60 may be able to do more linking with molecules of nitrone.

Opis:
In automated working environments, mobile robots can be used for different purposes such as material handling, domestic services, and objects transportation. This work presents a transportation process for multiple labware with hybrid pose correction in life science laboratories using H20 mobile robots. Multiple labware and tube racks, which contain chemical and biological components, have to be transported safely between laboratories on different floors of life science environment. Therefore, an accurate approach for labware transportation is required. The H20 robot has dual arms each consisting of 6 revolute joints with 6-DOF. The problem statement of robot positioning error in front of the workstation is presented. The navigation strategy with its related systems is presented for multi-floor mobile robot transportation environment. A Stargazer module is used as a stable and low-cost mapping and localization sensor with artificial landmarks. An error management system to overcome incorrect stargazer reading problems is presented. Different strategies of pose correction for mobile robots are described. The H20 robot is equipped with sonar sensors and Kinect V2 to be used for labware manipulation and position correction. The Kinect sensor V2 with SURF algorithm (Speeded-Up Robust Features) is used to recognize and localize the target. The communication procedure between the transportation platforms is done using client-server models.

Opis:
In the present study, the induction of callus, callus biomass growth and the yield of taxol were investigated in Taxus wallichiana. This is the first report of a quantification study of taxol in in vitro grown tissues of Taxus obtained from Jammu and Kashmir provinces, India. For callus induction, three different explant types (leaf, cone and stem) were cultured in media supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The stem was most responsive to callusing, and the maximum callus induction frequency of 71.5% was noted on medium amended with 2.0 mg/l 2,4-D. The medium amended with 2,4-D and ascorbic acid (AA) showed better callus growth and the maximum biomass (0.082 g, fresh weight). The yield of taxol was quantified in the callus grown on a medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators (PGRs) by using high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC). The taxol yield was maximum (1.053 μg/g dry weight) in 2,4-D-stimulated callus, followed by callus treated with NAA in which 0.896 μg/g dry weight taxol was detected. The maximum taxol yield (56.6%) was obtained in the callus grown on the medium amended with 2,4-D, and a 33.3% increased yield was noted on the NAA-supplemented medium. As a stress marker, the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and the level of proline were measured in an auxin (2,4-D and NAA)-supplemented medium. The callus grown on the 2,4-D-supplemented medium had high levels of SOD (3.91 min-1 * mg-1 protein), APX (1.61 min -1 * mg-1 protein) and proline (6.57 mg/g), thus suggesting a higher stress level; the callus grown on the NAA-supplemented medium had slightly lower levels of SOD and APX enzyme activities and proline content (3.01 min-1 * mg -1 protein, 1.04 min-1 * mg -1 protein and 5.90 mg/g, respectively). BAP had little influence on stress parameters. The present study thus indicates a good taxol yield in the callus cultured in 2,4-D, which functioned as a signalling element and a stressor. The taxol yield in response to PGRs was analysed in in vitro cultivated tissues.

Opis:
A total of 96 indigenous Brassica rapa accessions were collected from different locations of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) markers were used to identify the most diverse genotypes among the collected lots. Twenty six (26) different SSR primers were used for (genetic) variability among collected genotypes. These primers were selected from literature based on their previous results. These primers produced 135 scorable bands of which 75 were polymorphic, with an average of 55.5% polymorphic loci, and reflected the broader genetic background of the collected genotypes. An average 2.88 polymorphic bands with an average PIC value of 0.49 was recorded. Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) divided all genotypes into three main groups. Group one contained three clusters, while group two and three had four and two clusters each. Based on the UPGMA dendrogram, genotypes collected from Kohat, Bannu, Swat and Haripur showed considerable amount of variation. From the present study, it is concluded that SSR markers can be proved as the best tool for the genetic variability of other local and exotic B. rapa genotypes.

Opis:
The paper examines the effects of working capital management on Malaysian SMEs profitability within the sight of control factors measured by the size of the firm, leverage, and sales growth. Secondary data was drowned from Companies Commission of Malaysia, database for 66 SMEs in Malaysia for the period between 2006-2012. Panel data regressions were applied in the analysis. Empirical results established a negative effect of working capital administration measures: Stock Turnover in Days, Days Account Receivables, and Cash Conversion Cycle on SMEs benefit intermediaries, Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets. The results also established a positive effect of Net Operating Profit on Cash Conversion Cycle. Furthermore, the study also revealed a positive effect of Days Account Payables on SME’s Return of Asset and Return of Equity, yet having a negative effect on Net operating Profit. The findings imply that profitability of Malaysian SMEs relies upon effective working capital management. The results imply that Profitability of Malaysian SMEs depends upon effective working capital management. The paper contributes empirical evidence on the effect of working capital on Malaysian SMEs.
Artykuł analizuje wpływ zarządzania kapitałem obrotowym na rentowność w MŚP Malezji pod kątem czynników kontrolnych mierzonych wielkością firmy, dźwignią finansową i wzrostem sprzedaży. Wtórne dane zostały uzyskane z Komisji Firm Malezji, bazy danych dla 66 MŚP w Malezji w latach 2006-2012. W analizie zastosowano regresję danych panelowych. Wyniki empiryczne wykazały negatywny wpływ narzędzi zarządzania kapitałem obrotowym: rotacja zapasów w dniach, należności z tytułu dni płatniczych i cykl konwersji gotówki do pośrednikach świadczeń MŚP, zwrot z kapitału własnego i zwrot z aktywów. Wyniki wykazały również pozytywny wpływ operacji netto. Ponadto, badanie wykazało również pozytywny wpływ zobowiązań z tytułu płatności w dniach na zwroty aktywów i zwrotu kapitałów własnych MŚP, co jednak ma negatywny wpływ na zysk netto z działalności operacyjnej. Wyniki badania sugerują, że rentowność malezyjskich MŚP zależy od Zarządzania kapitałem obrotowym. Wyniki sugerują, że rentowność malezyjskich MŚP zależy od skutecznego zarządzania kapitałem obrotowym. Artykuł ten stanowi dowód empiryczny na temat wpływu kapitału obrotowego na malezyjskie MŚP.

The chemical constituents and insecticidal activity of the pods of Senna italica (Caesalpiniaceae, Fabaceae) were investigated. From the chloroform extract of pods, physcion, chrysophanol, chrysophanol-10,10′-bianthrone, chrysophanol-physcion bianthrone and chrysophanol-isophyscion bianthrone, were isolated and characterized using different spectral methods. The GC-MS of the n-hexane extract revealed that the major chemical constituents of the oil were 2,6,-di-sec-butylphenol (36.69 %), di-n-octylphthalate (12.06 %), eicosane (5.46 %), tetratriacontane (4.87 %) and 2,2'-methylenebis[6-(1,1-dimethyl)-4-methylphenol (4.18 %). The n-hexane extract showed potent insecticidal activity (100 %) against Callosbruchus analis F. This study suggests that S. italica pods cannot be a source of sennosides but for other bioactive compounds.

Opis:
The safety and security of different foodstuffs are considered important and have a high priority in global sustainable development. The contents of Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Pb and Cd were estimated in edible parts of 60 vegetable samples, irrigation water and agricultural soil collected from 5 farms in suburban areas around Riyadh district, Saudi Arabia. Also, soil pollution indices, pollution load index and contamination factor (PLI, CF), bioaccumulation factor (BAF), non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risk indices (HQ, THQ, and ILCR) were estimated. The content of heavy metals in irrigation water and soil was within the recommended permissible levels, except for Cd in soil, which exceeds permissible levels. The trend of metal concentrations in both agricultural soil and vegetables was found in the order: Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > Ni > Pb > Cd. Cluster analysis of the metal content in vegetables showed a tendency towards the accumulation of heavy metals in the order of leaves > roots > fruits > flowers > tuber. The BAFs values found were < 1.0, HQs values for Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and Ni were found to be < 1, while the estimated HQs for Pb and Cd were > 1, posing greater risk to the health of adults and children. THQ values were higher for children compared to adults. ILCR values for Cd showed a serious issue, as it exceeds the threshold risk limit (>10−4) in all parts of the investigated vegetables in all sampling sites.

Opis:
Purpose: In this paper, the bending strength and buckling stability of (AA 7075-T6) aluminium plate weakened by many transverse cracks, which located at different positions, subjected to concentrated loads applied at the ends were analysed. Design/methodology/approach: Numerical modelling and calculation by the finite element method (ANSYS Package), for the critical load of bending and compression panel were estimated. Findings: It found that the variation of the critical stress in bending and buckling is proportional to the crack conditions (no. of crack and location). In general, the critical load in bending and buckling decreases with increasing the crack number in structure. Research limitations/implications: For both bending and buckling, two transverse cracks on one face of plate is more stable than two transverse cracks on opposite faces. Practical implications: In addition, many experimental tests were carried out by using an INSTRON test machine to obtain the buckling critical loads, where the experimental results were compared with the ones of the finite element method. Furthermore, bending strength was calculated theoretically for the cracked panel. Originality/value: Comparison between the experimental and numerical (FE based model) data and between the theoretical and nu-merical (FE based model) data for buckling and bending strength respectively indicate the precise and the simplicity of the developed models to determine the critical loads in such cases.

Opis:
Sweet orange fruits were exposed to vapor heat treatment (50°C) in water bath for 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 min in plastic covered structure. The data were recorded on different physico chemical factors immediately after the storage and after seven days simulated marketing under ambient condition (20°C). Low temperature storage enhanced weight loss, surface pitting, disease incidence, total soluble solids accumulation, TSS/Acid ratio but decreased reducing sugars, acidity and ascorbic acid content. Chilling exposure up to 45 days had no significant effect on weight loss and TSS. However, increased weight loss (2.63%), TSS (11.75), TSS/Acid ratio (8.45 ºBrix), disease incidence (8.93%) and lowest reducing sugars (3.90) were noted in sweet orange exposed to chilling temperature for 75 days. Among the VHT durations, the highest weight loss (2.29%) was found in VHT for 0 min while the highest TSS (11.81 ºBrix), TSS/Acid ratio (8.10) and disease incidence (6.22%) and least reducing sugars (4.12%) were found in VHT 20 for min. Vapor heat treatment ranging from 5–10 min resulted in lowest weight loss (1.79%), TSS (10.81 ºBrix) TSS/Acid ratio (7.33), disease incidence (1.00%) and highest reducing sugars (4.75%) in sweet orange fruits. However, non-reducing sugars were least affected by both LTSs and VHTs. It is concluded that the chilling exposure (5°C) beyond 45 days aggravated the decline of fruit physio-chemical quality characteristics. Whereas, VHT with 5–10 min maintained the sweet orange fruit quality during simulated marketing; however, VHT of 15–20 min adversely affected the sweet orange fruit quality attributes.

Opis:
The genetic diversity within and among nine natural populations of Thymus hirtus Willd. subsp. algeriensis (Boiss. et Reut.) Murb. from different geographical and bioclimatic zones were assessed using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA data. A total of 154 bands were generated from seven selected primers. 141 bands were polymorphic (P=91.56%). The genetic diversity within a population based on Shannon's index which was high (H'pop=0.307) and varied according to bioclimatic zones. A high genetic differentiation among populations (GST=0.335 and FST=0.296) was revealed, suggesting a population isolation and a low level of gene flow among them. The major proportion of the variation was attributable to individual differences within populations. The genetic structure is in accordance with geography distances. The Neighbour- joining tree based on Nei's and Li's genetic distance among individuals showed that individuals from each population clustered together. The UPGMA dendrogram based on FST values revealed three clusters each of them includes populations closuring to their geographical origin. The high genetic structure of populations resulted from genetic drift caused both by the habitat fragmentation and the low size of most populations. The in situ conservation should interest all populations. The ex situ conservation should be based on the collection of seeds rather within than among populations because of the maximum of variation was revealed within populations.

Opis:
In Tunisia, Thymus capitatus L. populations are severely destroyed due to deforestation and over-collecting. The species occurs in small scattered populations decreasing progressively in size. Yet, no conservation or improvement programs are attempted to preserve and promote the potential value of this resource. In this work, we assessed the genetic diversity of nine Tunisian populations of Thymus capitatus L. from different bioclimates, using 103 polymorphic randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) loci. The analysis of the genetic variation within and among populations is primordial to elaborate conservation and improvement programs. The species showed a low diversity within populations (0.276

Opis:
The assemblage of textiles and electronics in a single structure has led to the development of smart textiles for functional purposes and special products. Conductive yarn as a necessary component of smart textiles is being developed by a number of techniques. The objective of the current study was to impart conductivity to yarn by coating the silver and copper nanoparticles on the surface of multifilament polyester textile fibres. The surface morphology and electrical conductivity of the coated yarns were investigated. The wash ability of the conductive yarns developed was also studied. The yarns showed good retention of the nanoparticles, as proven by the very small loss of the conductivity of the material.

Opis:
Experimental and numerical analyses were conducted to investigate the effect of an eccentric loaded contour hole on a rock mass. In the concrete blocks used for the analyses, detonating cords were placed at the centre of the blast hole and eccentrically against the wall of the blast hole. PFC2D and AUTODYN were used for the numerical analyses, and the results of these software showed that an eccentric decoupled charge can result in the directional development of fractures, thereby enabling the control of cracks in the opposite direction. Even though both types of blasting have identical decoupling indexes, the crack and fracture patterns were affected by the location of the explosive, tamping, and other conditions. The results showed that an eccentric charge holder can be applicable to control the fracture direction and the damaged zone. For an eccentric charge, the initial crack was generated at 0.01 ms and expanded in the intended direction. For the eccentric charge, the maximum pressure at the area in contact with the blast hole wall exceeded that for the central decoupled charge by a factor of 5.5. Furthermore, the pressure in the intended direction was twice of that in the opposite direction.

Opis:
Race-specific resistance of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) to the yellow rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, has been reported to be short-lived. Slow rusting resistance has been reported to last for a long time. Twenty Iranian barley cultivars along with resistant and susceptible controls were tested during the 2009-2010 and the 2010-2011 cropping seasons, in field plots at the Ardabil Agricultural Research Station (Iran). The cultivars were tested to identify slow rusting genotypes through epidemiological variables which included: final rust severity (FRS), apparent infection rate (r), relative area under the disease progress curve (rAUDPC), and coefficient of infection (CI). Moreover, differential sets were evaluated in order to determine effective and ineffective resistance genes to barley yellow rust. Results of the mean comparison of resistance parameters showed that cultivars Makouee, Dasht, Fasih, and Arass had low values of FRS, CI, r and rAUDPC compared with susceptible cultivars. The cultivars Walfajre, Abidar and Sahand which had moderate values of the different parameters, were marked as possessing a moderate level of slow rusting. The rest of the cultivars which had high values of different quantitative parameters, were grouped as having a low level of slow rusting or as susceptible. The correlation coefficient between different parameters of slow rusting was significantly high (r = 0.83-0.98). The virulence profile of the prevalent races revealed that rpsEm1, rpsEm2, rpsHF, Rps4, rpsVa1, rpsVa2, rpsAst were effective, and rps2, Rps1.b were ineffective resistance genes during the two year testing period.

The yield and composition of pyrolysis products depend on the characteristics of feed stock and process operating parameters. Effect of particle size, reaction temperature and carrier gas flow rate on the yield of bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of Pakistani maize stalk was investigated. Pyrolysis experiments were performed at temperature range of 360-540°C, feed particle size of 1-2 mm and carrier gas flow rate of 7.0-13.0 m3/h (0.61.1 m/s superficial velocity). Bio-oil yield increased with the increase of temperature followed by a decreasing trend. The maximum yield of bio-oil obtained was 42 wt% at a temperature of 490°C with the particle size of around 1.0 mm and carrier gas flow rate of 11.0 m3/h (0.9 m/s superficial velocity). High temperatures resulted in the higher ratios of char and non-condensable gas.

Opis:
Dead cells of Chlorella vulgaris were used experimentally to remove cadmium (Cd2+), copper (Cu2+) and lead (Pb2+) ions from aqueous solution under various conditions of pH, biosorbent dosage and contact time. C. vulgaris was isolated from Lake Manzala, (Egypt) and then cultivated outdoors, in growth media, maintaining pH of nearly 7.5. After cultivation, the cells were harvested by coagulation and prepared to make an experiment with different variants of pH, contact time and adsorbent dose. The adsorption specific characteristics of C. vulgaris were examined using Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy (FTR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The FTIR and SEM data showed vibration frequency changes for the peaks corresponding to the surface functional groups and morphological changes of C. vulgaris, respectively, after its exposure to metal ion solution. The maximum removal efficiency for copper and lead at ambient room temperature was recorded at pH 5 and 20-minute contact time, while the contact time of 120 minutes at pH 6 created the most suitable conditions for cadmium biosorption. On the other hand, 2 g dm-3 of C. vulgaris under optimum conditions was sufficient to remove 95.5%, 97.7% and 99.4% of Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2+, respectively, from a mixed solution of 50 mg dm-3 of each metal ion. The removal trend was in order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Cd2+. The results suggested that the biomass of C. vulgaris is an extremely efficient and environmentally friendly biosorbent for the removal of Cd2+, Cu2+ and Pb2 from aqueous solutions, which may be applied on a large, industrial scale.

Opis:
Peach fruit and trees are prone to various issues, regarding yield, quality and pest attack. Calcium plays several roles in plant and fruit development. Therefore the current study was conducted to evaluate the response of peach fruit to foliar application. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with two factors factorial arrangement and three replicates. Calcium chloride was applied at the rate of 0, 1, 2 and 3%. The foliar application of calcium was done at pink bud stage, berry size fruit stage, and then at pit hardening stage of peach. The obtained results indicated that foliar application of calcium significantly improved peach fruit quality and yield. The highest fruit weight (142.6 g), yield tree⁻¹ (15.6 kg), ascorbic acid content (6.67 mg∙100 g⁻¹), total soluble solids (11.0°Bx), fruit juice pH (3.98), sugar to acid ratio (45.1), fruit firmness (3.90 kg∙cm⁻²) and fruit volume (155.6 cm³) was obtained with the application of 3% solution of calcium chloride at pit hardening stage but it significantly reduced the percent titratable acidity (0.3%) and disease incidence (5.8%). It was concluded that 3% calcium chloride applied at the pit hardening stage significantly boosted peach quality and fruit yield.

Opis:
Stratigraphical and sedimentological analyses of Late Neoproterozoic successions in Lesser Himalaya are combined herein with palaeogeographical considerations and comparisons with equivalent successions in India and South China. The succession starts with the Hazara Formation, which contains complete and incomplete Bouma sequences suggesting its deposition in deep marine turbidite settings. The overlying Tanawal Formation, rich in massive sandstone, shale and siltstone, was deposited in shallow marine conditions, as indicated by the presence of parallel lamination, large scale tabular, trough cross- and hummocky cross-stratifications. The Tanawal Formation facies shift laterally from proximal (south-southeast) to distal (north-northwest). The glaciogenic Tanaki Boulder Bed, overlying the Tanawal Formation, was deposited during the Maronian glaciation. It is equivalent to the Blaini Formation of India, and to the Sinian diamictites of South China. The Abbottabad Formation of Cambrian age overlies the Tanaki Boulder Bed, and is composed of dolomite, chert nodules and phosphate-rich packages; similar successions are documented in India and South China at the same stratigraphical interval. The similarities of the Neoproterozoic successions of Lesser Himalaya (both in Pakistan and India) and South China suggests their possible proximity during the break-up of Rodinia and the assembly of the Gondwana Supercontinent.

These compounds were screened for in vitro antibacterial activities against six pathogenic bacteria, such as Shigella sonnei, Escherichia coli, Bacilus subtilis, Sarcina lutea, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas arioginosa. The antibacterial activity was determined by the disc diffusion method using DMSO as solvent. The results indicate that (SGC) compound exhibit a significant antibacterial activity, depending on the bacterial strain and (SGCo)2, (SGN)2 and (SGZ)2 compounds show a moderate sensitivity even with higher doses. All these compounds were found to possess cytotoxic effect.

The nth tetrahedral number is denoted by T_n and is of the form T_n = 1/6 n (n+1) (n+2). A graph G with p vertices and q edges is said to have an even vertex tetrahedral mean labeling if there exists an injective function f: V(G) →{0┤, 2, 4, . . . , 2T_q-2 , ├ 2T_q } such that the induced edge function f^*: E(G) →{T_1,T_(2 , . . .) ,T_q } defined by f^*(uv) = (f(u)+ f(v))/2 ∀ e=uv∈E(G) is a bijection. A graph which admits even vertex tetrahedral mean labeling is called an even vertex tetrahedral mean graph. In this paper, we introduce even vertex tetrahedral mean labeling and we prove that path, star, bistar, coconut tree, caterpillar, shrub, P_(m )@ P_n, banana tree, Y- tree and F-tree are even vertex tetrahedral mean graphs.

Opis:
In this work, an approach to the design of broadband thickness-mode piezoelectric transducer is presented. In this approach, simulation of discrete time model of the impulse response of matched and backed piezoelectric transducer is used to design high sensitivity, broad bandwidth, and short-duration impulse response transducers. The effect of matching the performance of transmitting and receiving air backed PZT-5A transducer working into water load is studied. The optimum acoustical characteristics of the quarter wavelength matching layers are determined by a compromise between sensitivity and pulse duration. The thickness of bonding layers is smaller than that of the quarter wavelength matching layers so that they do not change the resonance peak significantly. Our calculations show that the −3 dB air backed transducer bandwidth can be improved considerably by using quarter wavelength matching layers. The computer model developed in this work to predict the behavior of multilayer structures driven by a transient waveform agrees well with measured results. Furthermore, the advantage of this this model over other approaches is that the time signal for optimum set of matching layers can be predicted rapidly.

Varying the number of scattering microbubbles on the pulse wave form has been discussed. To improve microbubble-specific imaging at high frequencies, the subharmonic and second harmonic signals from individual microbubbles as well as microbubbles packets were simulated as a function of size and pressure. Two different modes of harmonic generation have been distinguished. The strength and bandwidth of the subharmonic component in the scattering spectrum of microbubbles is greater than that of the second harmonic. The pressure spectra provide quantitative and detailed information on the dynamic behaviour of ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles packet.

Opis:
Rivers are considered the most important sources of surface water on Earth. They are play a significant role in all human activities and the quality of river water is needed. Therefore, the importance of the water quality index is arising through providing data base about quality of the water source, and explain the change in the water quality over a period of time continually. This study involved determination of physicochemical and biological parameters of Lower Zab river in Kirkuk city at two different points. The objectives of the study are to assess the present water quality, through analysis of some selected water quality parameters like pH, TDS, BOD, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, EC, alkalinity, and salinity etc. and to compare the results with the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment and National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Indices. Raw water samples were collected from the Lower Zab river twice a month by one sample every 15 days from each station. The water quality data include 16 different parameters. Tests were carried out following the American Public Health Association standard methods. The results show that all parameters values were within the standards of drinking water proposed by the CCME standards and Iraqi standards or the World Health Organization standards for drinking purpose, except turbidity, DO, nitrate, calcium, which were mostly higher than the standards and sometimes BOD and potassium. The results of WQI showed that the water quality at LZ3 station is lower than LZ2 station due to the polluting activity of the Lower Zab river. Furthermore, for the years 2014, 2015, and 2016, the water quality was degraded due to the ISIS war. Also, it was noted in the 2013 year that the water quality degraded more in fall and winter seasons due to that the earth has exposed to the long-dried season and then suddenly exposed to a high rainfall season which in turns leads to increase some parameters very high (i.e. turbidity). Finally, the Lower Zab river water cannot be use for drinking directly. However, a pretreatment is needed before the drinking use.
