Opis:
This study highlights the 75 species of dragonfly fauna associated with rice ecosystems in eastern India out of which 15 species were regular and rest were sporadic. From the general taxonomic point of view all the species were grouped under 5 families of under order Odonata. Comparing different body parts the double branching keys were prepared for easy identification of 15 common dragonfly species recorded in rice ecosystems of West Bengal. Each key begins with a couplet (a pair of alternative) and each of which leads to another couplet. Finally the reader reaches the specific identity of species. Free hand drawing of wings of the 50 dragonflies were also used for separate identification of these insect species. In addition to this, different studies were made on courtship and mating, egg laying habitats, nymphal development, longevity, flight capacity of dragonfly to make the study more interesting to the reader. The population build up of dragonfly, favors to certain altitude as well as availability of water which is reverse to the other group of insects. Three different localities were selected at 9.75 m (Chakdaha), 200 m (Cooch Behar) and 1250 m (Kalimpong) of which former two represent an unique physiographic ecological system in Eastern India characterized by extreme diversities of dragonfly inhabiting there. The studies on natural enemies of dragonfly along with their major threats indicated that about 2, 4 and 4 species were critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable in rice ecosystem of West Bengal. Dragonflies are very sensitive to changes in landscape and are reliable indicators of wetland health. Therefore the effective conservation of dragonfly depends entirely on conservation of their habitats. Different studies were made to estimate the role of dragonfly in integrated pest management of rice crop in West Bengal. An investigation was also carried out to find out the crop stage wise diversification of individual predator and found that dragonfly was more diverse during flowering to ripening stages of crop respectively. The values Simpson and Shanon diversity index showed that dragonflies are specific flowering to ripening stage of crop. Subsequently the value of Margalef index and Menhinick index also indicated that the aforesaid predators were more diverse in flowering stage of crop whereas it was least in vegetative stage of crop. From the Hill's diversity the number of abundant and most abundant species was calculated where maximum and minimum were obtained from dragonfly and staphylinid respectively. The studies on colonization and succession of major dragonfly taxa in the rice field indicated that it followed a uniform pattern in relation to growth stages as well different phases in the rice field. The studies on relative abundance of dragonfly in different ecosystems reflected that their population in fields could be conserved and enhanced through maintenance of rice weed flora on bund or allowing ratoon rice after the rice crop during fallow period. The fallow land has limited effect on incidence of insect predator in rice crop. The relative ranking chart of 50 important predators in rice ecosystem of West Bengal indicates that the insect belonging to Coleopteran (17) were top of the list whereas dragonfly was third (10). The validity of chart may increase over time and they will need to be updated periodically.

Opis:
“Pan-dichoporites” (new informal term) is proposed to unite Cambrian blastozoans, such as Cambrocrinus, Ridersia, and Sanducystis, glyptocystitoid and hemicosmitoid rhombiferans, coronates, blastoids, and Lysocystites. Pan-dichoporite ambulacra have double biserial main axes with brachiole facets shared by pairs of floor (glyptocystitoids), side (blastoid) or trunk (hemicosmitoids, coronates) plates. These axial plates are the first two brachiolar plates modified to form the ambulacral axes. In glyptocystitoids the first brachiole facet in each ambulacrum is shared by an oral and another plate. Hence, these are also two modified brachiolar plates and part of the axial skeleton under the Extraxial Axial Theory (EAT). Pan-dichoporites are also characterized by thecae composed of homologous plate circlets. The unique glyptocystitoid genus Rhombifera bears ambulacral facets on five radial plates, which alternate with five orals. The oral area of Lysocystites (blastoid sensu lato) is very similar, which suggests that rhombiferan radials are homologous with “ambulacrals” of Lysocystites and hence with blastoid lancet plates. This implies derivation of blastoids from glyptocystitoids and suggests that blastoid and coronate radials and deltoids are homologous with rhombiferan infralaterals and laterals. Thus, homologous plate circlets occur in all pan-dichoporites, which strengthens the validity of a pan-dichoporite clade. Under Universal Elemental Homology (UEH), deltoids were homologized with rhombiferan orals, but this is inconsistent with the EAT. Deltoids bear respiratory pore structures and so are perforate extraxial skeletal plates, whereas rhombiferan orals are axial skeleton. The new plate homologies also explain why only five plates form the oral frames of coronates, blastoids and Lysocystites, whereas glyptocystitoids (except Rhombifera) have six oral frame plates; all glyptocystitoids have only five laterals. Hemicosmitoids arose by paedomorphic ambulacral reduction, but the paedomorphosis also affected the thecal plates and stem. Paedomorphosis poses special problems for cladistic character analysis, since the new characters often appear to be plesiomorphic.

Opis:
For about ten years now people in NATO member states have, on a daily basis, been confronted with the faltering attempts by their troops to create a semblance of stability in Afghanistan. It is now widely recognized that Afghanistan has become an intractable international problem. This article, however, focuses on previous attempts to impose solutions. Beginning in the late 1970s and continuing throughout the 1980s, the two Cold War superpowers, the USSR and the USA, intervened in Afghanistan’s affairs. In this article the legality, under international law, of those efforts is examined. This requires an extensive analysis of international law as applicable to external interventions in civil wars. It will be demonstrated that neither the USSR’s invasion of Afghanistan, nor the USA’s massive support of the Afghan rebels, was reconcilable with international law. Considering the fact that these ill-advised interventions in Afghanistan backfired on both superpowers, they constitute a good object lesson to demonstrate that the prohibition of external interventions in civil wars not only reflects what international law demands, but is also simple common sense. Recent interventions in Bahrain and Libya are also briefly examined as to their legality, and this examination includes projections whether the unsatisfactory results of the Afghanistan interventions will be replicated there.

A star coloring of an undirected graph G is a coloring of the vertices of G such that (i) no two adjacent vertices receive the same color, and (ii) no path on 4 vertices is bi-colored. The star chromatic number of G, χs(G), is the minimum number of colors needed to star color G. In this paper, we show that if a graph G is either non-regular subcubic or cubic with girth at least 6, then χs(G) ≤ 6, and the bound can be realized in linear time.

Opis:
Given a simple directed graph $D = (V,A)$, let the size of the largest induced acyclic tournament be denoted by $mat(D)$. Let $D ∈ \mathcal{D}(n, p)$ (with $p = p(n)$) be a random instance, obtained by randomly orienting each edge of a random graph drawn from $\mathcal{G}(n, 2p)$. We show that $mat(D)$ is asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.) one of only 2 possible values, namely either $b^\ast$ or $b^\ast + 1$, where $b^\ast = ⌊2(log_rn) + 0.5⌋$ and $r = p^{−1}$. It is also shown that if, asymptotically, $2(log_rn) + 1$ is not within a distance of $w(n)//(ln n)$ (for any sufficiently slow $w(n) → ∞$) from an integer, then $mat(D)$ is $⌊2(log_rn) + 1⌋$ a.a.s. As a consequence, it is shown that $mat(D)$ is 1-point concentrated for all $n$ belonging to a subset of positive integers of density 1 if $p$ is independent of $n$. It is also shown that there are functions $p = p(n)$ for which $mat(D)$ is provably not concentrated in a single value. We also establish thresholds (on $p$) for the existence of induced acyclic tournaments of size i which are sharp for $i = i(n) → ∞$. We also analyze a polynomial time heuristic and show that it produces a solution whose size is at least $log_rn + Θ(\sqrt{log_rn})$. Our results are valid as long as $p ≥ 1//n$. All of these results also carry over (with some slight changes) to a related model which allows 2-cycles.

We show that the intersection dimension of graphs with respect to several hereditary properties can be bounded as a function of the maximum degree. As an interesting special case, we show that the circular dimension of a graph with maximum degree Δ is at most \(O\Big(\Delta\frac{log\Delta}{log log\Delta}\Big)\). It is also shown that permutation dimension of any graph is at most $\Delta(log \Delta)^{1+o(1)}$. We also obtain bounds on intersection dimension in terms of treewidth.

Opis:
Kiszonka z kukurydzy jest podstawowym surowcem wykorzystywanym w polskich biogazowniach. Jednak ze względu na coraz wyższe ceny tego substratu oraz wahania cen zielonych certyfikatów, koniecznym staje się poszukiwanie różnych substratów do produkcji biogazu. Z drugiej strony, duża ilość osadu wyprodukowanego w oczyszczalniach ścieków, tworzy poważny problem dla środowiska w Polsce. Stosowanie osadów ściekowych jako źródła energii odnawialnej może zmniejszyć ilość składowanych osadów i poprawić bezpieczeństwo środowiska. Problemem podczas beztlenowej fermentacji osadu ściekowego jest konieczność wystąpienia odpowiedniego stosunku C:N na poziomie 20-30. Dlatego ważne jest aby dodać do osadów innych, bogatych w węgiel materiałów. Przemawia również za tym fakt iż sam osad nie jest wydajnym substratem do produkcji biogazu. Zastosowanie ko-substratów pomoże maksymalnie wykorzystać potencjał fermentacyjny, reguluje kinetykę fermentacji metanowej poprzez poprawę stosunku C:N, zwiększa wydajność i opłacalność ekonomiczną procesu. Celem pracy było znalezienie synergii pomiędzy osadami ściekowymi oraz kiszonką z kukurydzy w dwóch różnych temperaturach: 39ºC (zakres mezofilowy) i 55ºC (zakres termofilowy).
Maize silage is the primary feedstock utilized in biogas plants in Poland. However, due to the increasingly high price of that substrate and the volatile prices of green certificates, it is necessary to search for different substrates for the biogas production. On the other hand, the large amount of sewage sludge produced in wastewater treatment plants creates an important environmental problem in Poland. The use of sewage sludge as a source of renewable energy reduces the amount of stored sludge and improves environmental safety. The problem during anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge is to provide a suitable C:N ratio in the range 20-30. Therefore, it is important to add to the sludge substances rich in carbon. It is because the sludge itself is an inefficient substrate in terms of biogas production. The use of co-substrates ensures maximum use of the potential of the digester, regulates the kinetics of methane fermentation by improving the C:N ratio, increasing its efficiency and economic viability. The aim of this paper is to find synergy between sewage sludge and maize silage in two different temperatures: 39ºC (mesophilic range) and 55ºC (thermophilic range).

Proces zamrażania w stanie częściowego odwodnienia (ang. dehydrofreezing) obejmuje częściowe osuszenie produktu przed mrożeniem. Niższa zawartość wody w produkcie podczas mrożenia daje następujące korzyści: - niższe zużycie energii na jednostkę świeżego produktu w czasie etapu mrożenia i późniejszego składowania, - obniżenie punktu krioskopowego, zmniejszenie ilości wody wymrażanej i wzrost szybkości mrożenia i rozmrażania. Bezpośrednia osmoza była przebadana jako technika odwodnieniowa dla wielu rodzajów owoców. Uzyskano ponadto następujące korzyści: - obniżenie zapotrzebowania na energię w procesie suszenia, - wzrost ogólnej zawartości składników suchej masy w produkcie z utrzymaniem konsystencji. - pobranie cukrów z syropu, lepsze zachowanie aromatu i lepsze zachowanie barwy, - obniżenie kwasowości i polepszenie właściwości organoleptycznych, - obniżenie skłonności do enzymatycznego brunatnienia.

Opis:
The evolution of quadrupedality from bipedal ancestors is an exceptionally rare transition in tetrapod evolution, but it has occurred several times within the herbivorous dinosaur clade Ornithischia. Stegosauria, Ankylosauria, and Ceratopsidae are all uncontroversially quadrupedal, while basal ornithischians and basal ornithopods are uncontroversially bipedal. However, stance in iguanodontian ornithopods, including the hadrosaurs, and in non-ceratopsid ceratopsians is debated because robust osteological correlates of quadrupedality have not been identified. We examine a suite of characteristics that have been previously proposed as osteological correlates for bipedality or quadrupedality in dinosaurs. These include both discrete anatomical features, which we assess as correlates for quadrupedality using character optimization onto a composite cladogram, and proportional ratios, which we assess as correlates by reconstructing nodal ancestral states using squared-change parsimony, followed by optimization. We also examine the correlation of these features with body size. An anterolateral process on the proximal ulna, hoof-shaped manual unguals, a transversely broadened ilium, a reduced fourth trochanter and a femur longer than the tibia are found to be robust correlates of quadrupedality in ornithischian dinosaurs. Along the ceratopsid “stem” lineage, quadrupedal characters were acquired in a stepwise fashion, with forelimb characters developing prior to changes in the hind limb. In contrast, iguanodontid ornithopods display a mosaic of character states, indicating varying degrees of facultative quadrupedality that probably arose for a variety of different reasons. Hadrosaurs are found to possess all character states associated with quadrupedality and were probably predominantly quadrupedal. In general, quadrupedal ornithischians do not appear to have been constrained by their bipedal ancestry to a particular order of character acquisition.

Opis:
Bezpośrednia osmoza jest procesem zagęszczania bez odparowania. Zachodzi ona w kawałkach żywności zanurzonej w roztworze hypertonicznym. Ponieważ roztwór ten wykazuje wyższe ciśnienie osmotyczne i wskutek tego niższą aktywność wody (aw) pomiędzy roztworem i żywnością powstają siły usuwające wodę, gdyż naturalna błona komórkowa działa jak półprzepuszczalna membrana. Owoce i warzywa były częściowo odwodnione przez zanurzenie w syropie skrobiowym kukurydzianym (70 Bx), w temperaturze pokojowej (25°C) i w wysokiej (powyżej 70°C). Mierzono ubytek wody, przyrost suchej masy i obniżenie aktywności wody w próbkach w stosunku do czasu suszenia. Bezpośrednia osmoza wykorzystywana była jako metoda wstępnego suszenia przed suszeniem powietrznym. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że produkty takie miały smak słodki, nie kwaśny i lepszą teksturę, barwę i zapach. Zastosowanie osmozy w wysokiej temperaturze przez krótki czas pozwala na uzyskanie łącznego efektu blanszowania i suszenia.

This article addresses the impact of magnetic field induction on the buoyancy-induced oscillatory flow of couple stress fluid with varying heating. Modelled equations for the incompressible fluid are coupled and nonlinear due to the inclusion of viscous heating and thermal effect on the fluid density. Approximate solutions are constructed and coded on a symbolic package to ease the computational complexity. Graphical representations of the symbolic solutions are presented with detailed explanations. Results of the present computation show that the effect of induced magnetic field on the oscillatory flow and heat transfer is significant and cannot be neglected.

Opis:
The purpose of this research was to quantify shoulder demands during freestyle manual patient handling (MPH) tasks and determine whether approaches intended to prevent low back injury increased shoulder demands. Twenty females completed 5 MPH tasks found commonly in hospital settings before and after a training session using current workplace MPH guidelines. Most normalized muscle activity indices and ratings of perceived exertion decreased following training at both the low back and shoulders, but were more pronounced at the low back. There was little evidence to suggest that mechanical demands were transferred from the low back to the shoulders following the training session. The study generally supports continued use of the recommended MPH techniques, but indicates that several tasks generate high muscular demands and should be avoided if possible.

The focus of this work is the acoustic evaluation of an open plan office combining several architectural characteristics and levels of ambient noise. This evaluation was performed through a computational model calibrated from a real office. The rate of spatial decay of sound pressure levels per distance doubling (DL2) and the speech transmission index (STI) were simulated for the acoustic evaluation of the office, allowing for the determination of the radius of distraction (rD). These parameters were simulated for 6 situations using different floor and ceiling covering materials and inserting or withdrawing screens between workstations. In addition, STI and rD were simulated under two conditions of ambient noise. The results indicated that the DL2 and rD are adequate acoustic parameters for the acoustic evaluation and improvement of an open plan office. The DL2 was strongly influenced by the presence or absence of screens between workstations and by the ceiling covering material. The rD was more sensitive to changes in ambient noise.

Opis:
In this paper, the mixed convective flow of an electrically conducting, viscous incompressible couple stress fluid through a vertical channel filled with a saturated porous medium has been investigated. The fluid is assumed to be driven by both buoyancy force and oscillatory pressure gradient parallel to the channel plates. A uniform magnetic field of strength 0B is imposed transverse to the channel boundaries. The temperature of the right channel plate is assumed to vary periodically, and the temperature difference between the plates is high enough to induce radiative heat transfer. Under these assumptions, the equations governing the two-dimensional couple stress fluid flow are formulated and exact solutions of the velocity and the temperature fields are obtained. The effects of radiation, Hall current, porous medium permeability and other various flow parameters on the flow and heat transfer are presented graphically and discussed extensively.

Metal network compounds have primary properties. The use of lightweight and low vitality is a testament to the growing interest in the automotive industry. Aluminum alloys, due to their advanced physical, mechanical and tribological properties, have become a highly emerging material for a variety of industrial applications and the importance of efficient material selection is explained. In this paper, an Al8011 hybrid metal matrix composite is developed through the stir casting process. The different weight proportions of B4C (3%, 6%, 9% & 12%) and fixed proportions of 2% MoS2 have been used. Composite developed are subjected to mechanical properties evaluation and seawater corrosion studies following standard procedures. To study the porosity of the composite samples, theoretical density and actual density are calculated. An acoustic emission system-assisted tensile test is carried out to report the strength of the composite. From this experimental method, adding reinforcement can increase the tensile strength and hardness of the composites. Under sea water, the increase in reinforcement found an increase in corrosion resistance. Fractured surfaces were perused using SEM and EDS analysis.

Mobile police officers perform many of their daily duties in their vehicles. Combined workspace inflexibility and prolonged driving create potential musculoskeletal injury risks. Limited research exists that quantitatively describes postural and load exposures associated with mobile police work. The purpose of this study was to characterize officer activity during a typical workday and identify opportunities for ergonomic intervention. Digital video of traffic officers (N = 10) was used to classify postures according to work activity. Cumulative time in 10 activities was calculated, and a time-history of driver activity documented. Most (55.5 ± 13.4%) time was out of the vehicle, and 22.3 ± 10.5% was spent in single-arm driving. On paper documentation and mobile data terminal use were identified as in-car activities that may benefit from targeted interventions. The primary contribution of this study is characterization of daily mobile police activity and the identification of possible intervention strategies to mitigate physical exposure levels.

Opis:
First responders and military personnel are particularly susceptible to behind armor blunt thoracic trauma in occupational scenarios. The objective of this study was to develop an armored thorax injury risk criterion for short duration ballistic impacts. 9 cadavers and 2 anthropomorphic test dummies (AUSMAN and NIJ 0101.04 surrogate) were tested over a range of velocities encompassing low severity impacts, medium severity impacts, and high severity impacts based upon risk of sternal fracture. Thoracic injuries ranged from minor skin abrasions (abbreviated injury scale [AIS] 1) to severe sternal fractures (AIS 3+) and were well correlated with impact velocity and bone mineral density. 8 male cadavers were used in the injury risk criterion development. A 50% risk of AIS 3+ injury corresponded to a peak impact force of 24,900 ± 1,400 N. The AUSMAN impact force correlated strongly with impact velocity. Recommendations to improve the biofidelity of the AUSMAN include implementing more realistic viscera and decreasing the skin thickness.

Opis:
Two partial skeletons from Montana represent the northernmost occurrences of Stegosauria within North America. One of these specimens represents the northernmost dinosaur fossil ever recovered from the Morrison Formation. Consisting of fragmentary cranial and postcranial remains, these specimens are contributing to our knowledge of the record and distribution of dinosaurs within the Morrison Formation from Montana. While the stegosaurs of the Morrison Formation consist of Alcovasaurus, Hesperosaurus, and Stegosaurus, the only positively identified stegosaur from Montana thus far is Hesperosaurus. Unfortunately, neither of these new specimens exhibit diagnostic autapomorphies. Nonetheless, these specimens are important data points due to their geographic significance, and some aspects of their morphologies are striking. In one specimen, the teeth express a high degree of wear usually unobserved within this clade—potentially illuminating the progression of the chewing motion in derived stegosaurs. Other morphologies, though not histologically examined in this analysis, have the potential to be important indicators for maturational inferences. In suite with other specimens from the northern extent of the formation, these specimens contribute to the ongoing discussion that body size may be latitudinally significant for stegosaurs—an intriguing geographical hypothesis which further emphasizes that size is not an undeviating proxy for maturity in dinosaurs.

Aim: All mobile phones will eventually become obsolete and should be collected and recycled in order to recover their high content of both dangerous and valuable materials. End-consumers play a key role in these processes as the collection and recycle systems cannot work properly without their contribution. Therefore, this exploratory study investigates how Dutch end-consumers can be stimulated to return their used mobile phones. Design / Research methods: the factors influencing consumers’ propensity to return and recycle obsolete mobile phones are examined. The results are based on a survey conducted among end-consumers of mobile phones in the Netherlands. Conclusions / findings: There is significant recycling potential as the majority of used mobile phones are simply kept at home. Keeping a used phone as a spare phone and being afraid of privacy disclosures are indicated as main reasons for not taking used phones to a recycling point. Originality / value of the article: The findings indicate that personal satisfaction from recycling and knowledge or awareness of the potential dangers from not properly returning play a crucial role in influencing the propensity.

Opis:
An eco-friendly manufacturing approach is important for the environment. Enhancing machining performances is not only required to improve product’s quality, time saving, and reduces costs; it is also contributed to the environmental protection efforts. Cooling is important aspect for obtaining this purpose. Therefore the benefits of Strong Alkaline Water (SAW) cooling method was assessed and compared with conventional wet cutting method. An experiment was performed at Nagaoka University of Technology machining centre. Three machine tools including a milling machine, a drilling machine and a turning machine were used. The study shows that using SAW for cooling is far more efficient than conventional cooling method. It reduces annual global warming potential by 72.95%, acidification potential 98.18%, ozone depletion potential 99.6%, smog formation potential 85.71% and human toxicity potential 42.86% compare with conventional method. The study concludes that besides inhibiting corrosion, prolonging tool life, improving surface roughness of final cutting and reducing energy usage, strong alkaline water cooling is an environmentally friendly approach and has positive impact on human health.

Crosstalk propagation through silicon substrate is a serious limiting factor on the performance of the RF devices and circuits. In this work, substrate crosstalk into high resistivity silicon substrate is experimentally analyzed and the impact on the RF behavior of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOS transistors is discussed. The injection of a 10 V peak-to-peak single tone noise signal at a frequency of 3 MHz ( fnoise) generates two sideband tones of ?56 dBm separated by fnoise from the RF output signal of a partially depleted SOI MOSFET at 1 GHz and 4.1 dBm. The efficiency of the introduction of a trap-rich polysilicon layer located underneath the buried oxide (BOX) of the high resistivity (HR) SOI wafer in the reduction of the sideband noise tones is demonstrated. An equivalent circuit to model and analyze the generation of these sideband noise tones is proposed.

Opis:
A total of 60 Russ 2011 two weeks old broiler chicks with an average weight of 215.33+4.55g were fed with diets compounded with sweet potato leaves (SPL) for 56 days. The diets consist of T1 (0% SPL), T2 (5% SPL), T3 (10% SPL) and T4 (15% SPL). The proximate composition of the SPL was determined in the laboratory. The birds were randomly allocated to four treatments using completely randomized design (CRD). Each treatment was subdivided into three replicates of five chicks each. At the end of the experiment, all data collected were subjected to one way analysis of variance and difference in means was separated using Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test. The results showed no significant difference (p>0.05) in the average body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER). However, birds on T2 (32.77g) had the best daily body weight gain followed by T4 (30.36g), T3 (30.06g) and T1 (29.21g) while in terms of daily feed intake, T4 (98.20g) consumed most followed by T2 (98.17g) and T3 (96.59g) whereas, T1 (92.38g) consumed the least feed. The birds on T2 (3.00) demonstrated the best FCR followed by T1 (3.16), T3 (3.21) and T4 (3.23). Also T1 (1.59) showed the best PER closely followed by T1 (1.53), T3 (1.46) and T4 (1.43). There was, however, a significant difference (p<0.05) in Hb concentration when T2 (11.62g/dl) and T3 (12.48g/dl) were compared with T1 (10.34g/dl) and T4 (10.21g/dl). In the PCV, a statistical difference (p<0.05) also was observed between T1 (24.73%) and others (T2 (28.18%), T3 (28.97%)and T4 (27.14%)) while similar trend (p<0.05) was seen in the RBC count when T4 (9.72x106/ul) was compared with T1 (10.21 x106/ul), T2 (10.81x106/ul) and T3 (11.43x106/ul) and no significant difference (p>0.05) among all the treatments with respect to WBC (T1 (21.23x103/ul), T2 (19.18x103/ul), T3 (21.26x103/ul) and T4 (22.63x103/ul)). Although the haematological parameters fell within normal physiological ranges, there was a gradual increase in these values as the inclusion levels progressed till T3 (10% inclusion) and then a decrease. It is therefore recommended that inclusion of SPL up to 5% in the diet of broilers is good for enhanced body weight gain, FCR and PER and up to 10% for enhanced haematological parameters.

Opis:
The introduction of mobile computing within a constrained vehicle environment has led to changes in the task demands of occupational groups such as professional drivers and law enforcement officers. The purpose of this study was to examine how mobile data terminal (MDT) use interacts with prolonged driving to induce postural changes or low-back discomfort. Eighteen participants (9 male, 9 female) completed two 120-min simulated driving sessions. Time-varying lumbar spine and pelvis postures, seat pan interface pressures and ratings of perceived discomfort were recorded at 15-min intervals. The introduction of a computer interface decreased pelvic posterior rotation by an average of 15° with respect to upright standing and increased peak average discomfort in the neck (5.9 mm), left shoulder (6.8 mm), midback (10.9 mm), low back (10.6 mm) and pelvis (11.5 mm) compared to driving alone. The incorporation of mobile computing warrants consideration in the design of vehicle work environments.

In this study a multiaxial isokinetic dynamometer was used to measure strength during various upper-body isokinetic exertions. Ten male participants performed 7 different upper-body isokinetic exertions. In addition, to evaluate the effect of speed on strength, each participant performed sitting pull exertions at the speed of 0.026, 0.130, and 0.260 m/s. Average isokinetic strength increased from 236.6 ± 39.1 to 291.8 ± 65.8 N with the initial increase in speed from 0.026 to 0.130 m/s. The average isokinetic strength decreased to 276.7 ± 87.2 N with a further increase in speed to 0.260 m/s. The curve between isokinetic strength and speed followed a bell-shaped curve (fitted with the Gaussian function, R2 = .9). The results of this study could be useful in deciding on the work pace of various manual material handling tasks requiring maximal and/or near maximal exertions.

Opis:
The earliest definitive ornithischian dinosaurs are from the Early Jurassic and are rare components of early dinosaur faunas. The Lower Lufeng Formation (Hettangian–Sinemurian) of Yunnan Province, China, has yielded a diverse Early Jurassic terrestrial vertebrate fauna. This includes several incomplete specimens have been referred to Ornithischia, including the type specimen of the thyreophoran “Tatisaurus” and other generically indeterminate material. The highly fragmentary Lufeng ornithischian Bienosaurus lufengensis was described briefly in 2001 and identified as an ankylosaurian dinosaur. Recent studies have cast doubt on this hypothesis, however, and given that the referral of Bienosaurus to Ankylosauria would result in an extensive ghost-lineage extending between it and the first definitive eurypodans (ankylosaurs + stegosaurs) in the Middle Jurassic, the holotype specimen is re-examined and re-described. We identify Bienosaurus as a probable thyreophoran dinosaur, although the fragmentary nature of the material and the absence of autapomorphies means that the specimen should be regarded as a nomen dubium.

Opis:
The compound magnesium diboride (MgB2) has been well-known since the 1950s; however, its superconducting properties were unknown. Intrinsic characteristics of MgB2 make this material a promising candidate for technological applications, although the low value of the irreversibility field and the decrease in critical current density with the increase in the magnetic field considerably reduce its utility. The present work aimed to study the effect of carbon-based doping on anelastic properties of MgB2 as measured by mechanical spectroscopy. The samples were prepared by using the powder-intube method. The samples were made with 5, 7.5, and 10 wt.% of silicon carbide (SiC). The results reveal complex mechanical loss spectra caused by the interaction between point defects and surface defects in the crystalline lattice of MgB2.

Swoiste cechy MgB2 czynią ten materiał obiecującym kandydatem do zastosowań technicznych, jednak niskie wartości nieodwracalnego pola i zmniejszenie krytycznej gęstości prądu ze wzrostem pola magnetycznego znacznie zmniejszają jego użyteczność. Celem pracy było zbadanie wpływu domieszkowania związkiem węgla na anelastyczne właściwości MgB2 mierzone metodą spektroskopii mechanicznej. Próbki zostały przygotowane za pomocą metody powder-in-tube (PIT). Wytworzono próbki o zawartości 5, 7.5 i 10 % wag. węglika krzemu (SiC). Wyniki pokazują złożone widma strat mechanicznych powodowanych przez wzajemne oddziaływanie pomiędzy defektami punktowymi i defektami powierzchniowymi w sieci krystalicznej MgB2.

Opis:
Ti-Mo alloys are promising materials for use as biomaterials, because these alloys have excellent corrosion resistance and a good combination of mechanical properties such as fatigue, low elastic modulus, hardness, and wear resistance. The objective of this paper was to study the effect of heavy interstitial atoms on anelastic properties of Ti-Mo alloys using mechanical spectroscopy. The internal friction and Young’s modulus were measured as a function of temperature using dynamic mechanical analyser. The internal friction spectra were brought about by relaxation processes attributed to shortrange stress induced reorientation of interstitial and substitutional complexes in solid solution. It is suggested that the nature of the relaxing entities can be worked out in further research on Ti-Mo single crystals.

Opis:
Kierunek energetyczny Europy został wyznaczony już kilka lat temu. Prawidłowa gospodarka odpadami nie jest już tylko modą zamożnych krajów europejskich - stała się ona wymogiem prawnym. Przetwarzanie bioodpadów na biogaz jest jedną z najefektywniejszych technologii zapewniających uzyskanie „zielonej” energii oraz polepszenie stanu środowiska. Budowa małych i tanich biogazowni rolniczych, takich jak prowadzona aktualnie w gospodarstwie doświadczalnym UP w Przybrodzie jest jedną z najlepszych dróg dla rozpowszechnienia tej technologii waloryzacji bioodpadów. Celem niniejszej pracy było zbadanie wydajności biogazowej substratów dostępnych w Zakładzie Doświadczalnym poznańskiego Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Przybrodzie (gnojowica świńska i bydlęca, kiszonka kukurydziana oraz wysłodki buraczane). Kompleksowa analiza laboratoryjna wykazała nie tylko pozytywny bilans ekonomiczny, ale także bardzo korzystny wpływ, badanej technologii zagospodarowania substratów, na środowisko.
An energetic development of Europe has been planned few years ago. Proper waste management is not just a trend of western European countries - it is a law. Production of biogas from bio-waste is one of the most effective technologies, assuring the production of green energy and improvements of the environment condition. Building of small and cheap biogas plants – as the one built at the Experimental Farm of Life Science University in Przybroda (250kWe) is one of the best ways to spread this technology and valorization of bio-waste. The aim of this study was to determine biogas efficiency of substrates available Experimental Farm (pig slurry, caw slurry, maize silage) Research run at the Institute of Biosystems Engineering, was one of main factors which decided about rector of University agreement to start a biogas plant project. Complex laboratory analysis proved not only very positive economic balance but also very good influence, checked technology of waste management into environment.

Introduction: Little is known about associations of attitudes of medical students towards people with disabilities and their life satisfaction and empathy. Purpose: To assess the social perception of people with disabilities by medical students. Materials and methods: The present study interviewed 451 medical students of the Medical University of Białystok regarding their perceptions of people with disabilities, especially in light of their own satisfaction with life and empathy. We used the following questionnaires: the original questionnaire about attitudes towards people with disabilities, The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and Empathy Understanding Questionnaire (KRE). Results: Attitudes towards people with disabilities people were generally positive. Almost 40% of respondents expressed a willingness to help for people with disabilities. In general, disabled people do not have full access to all fields of social (63.4%) and professional (63.2%) life. At the same time, disabled people tend to marry (84.9%), have children (82.1%), work (88.2%), and drive cars (76.1%). Respondents were convinced that contact with a disabled person teaches ways to help others (42.1%), and in fact 58.6% of respondents reported having decided to participate with helping the disabled. The average life satisfaction of the students was 22.7 ± 5.3 which indicates that the respondents are satisfied with their lives. The empathy level of respondents was 66.97 points ± 2.98, which indicates average level of empathy. Conclusions: This study shows that students’ perception of people with disabilities depends upon how the students viewed disabled people’s, life satisfaction and empathy.

Background. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a product in the manufacture of Bis-GMA, which is commonly used in dentistry, and is known to have a number of adverse effects. Objectives. The aim of this study is to evaluate to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice based on exposure and handling of BPA containing materials among dental surgeons for better understanding about the level of care rendered to the patients. Material and methods. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 400 dental surgeons in Southern India. The questionnaire consisted of 20 objective type questions out of which ten questions assessed knowledge and five questions assessed the attitude and five questions to understand the practice related measures taken by the dentist. The data collected were analysed using SPSS version 23. Results. A total of 402 responses were collected for this online questionnaire survey over a period of 2 months. It was found that females showed higher knowledge and attitude towards exposure to BPA which was statistically significant when compared to males. It showed that dentists with more than 20 years of practice had a higher level of knowledge. Though most of the groups agreed fairly on safety practice to be undertaken related to BPA exposure in their clinics, the ones with experience more than 20 years displayed the least positive attitude and dentists with 6-10 years of practice had the least positive behaviour among all. Conclusions. In spite of having a good knowledge regarding the harmful effects of BPA, dental surgeons are not very cautious while using materials containing them on a regular basis. Therefore, there is a need to enhance the awareness with the help of Continuing Dental Education programs or proper instructions on the packaging.

Opis:
Jednym z priorytetów wynikających z członkostwa Polski w UE jest zwiększenie wymagań z zakresu rolnictwa. Ma to związek między innymi z problemami związanymi z ochroną środowiska, a dotyczącymi właściwego zagospodarowania nawozów naturalnych, w tym i obornika. Jedną z metod takiego zagospodarowania może być kompostowanie. Stąd celem pracy było określenie możliwości kompostowania obornika pochodzącego od trzody chlewnej w małych i średnich gospodarstwach rolnych oraz opracowanie technologii możliwej do wdrożenia w przeciętnym gospodarstwie rolnym posiadającym podstawowe wyposażenie w techniczne środki produkcji, jak ciągnik, ładowacz czołowy oraz rozrzutnik obornika. W tym celu badania obejmowały kompostowanie obornika świńskiego oraz jego składowanie w warunkach beztlenowych. Wykazano, że metoda kompostowania obornika była korzystniejsza od jego składowania i może znaleźć zastosowanie w małych i średnich gospodarstwach rolnych.
One of the priorities related with Poland accession to the European Union was an increase of the of the requirements in the field of environmental protection. One of the biggest problems bounded with environmental protection is the management of the animal faeces and manure including. Such technology is composting of the animal faeces. The aim of this study was to determine the possibilities of pig manure composting in small and medium-size farms. It was assumed that the developed technology should be possible to implement in an average farm equipped with the basic technical production means (tractor, loader, manure spreader). In this study it has been investigated and compared the composting process with anaerobic storage of pig manure from animals kept in deep litter system. Obtained results clearly showed that composting process is more favorable from the point of view of environmental protection, and can be done in a small medium farm having basic technical means.

Opis:
Separacja na frakcję stałą i ciekłą oraz późniejsze wykorzystanie frakcji stałej na cele energetyczne (pelet) lub nawozowe może być jednym z najefektywniejszych metod zagospodarowania gnojowicy lub pulpy pofermentacyjnej. Celem pracy było określenie efektywności separacji gnojowicy i pulpy pofermentacyjnej oraz analiza składu fizykochemicznego frakcji stałej odseparowanej na sitach różnej wielkości. Analizie poddano także uzyskany po przejściu przez mikrosita odciek z gnojowicy i pofermentu. Stwierdzono duże różnice w rozkładzie frakcji i zawartości w nich materii organicznej oraz popiołu pomiędzy frakcjami gnojowicy i różnymi rodzajami pulpy pofermentacyjnej. Stwierdzono, że jedynie pierwsza frakcja z gnojowicy jak i z pulpy pofermentacyjnej otrzymanej z fermentacji roślin zwierających dużą ilość organicznych materiałów trudno rozkładalnych może być brana pod uwagę jako substrat do produkcji peletów na cele energetyczne.
The separation on solid and liquid fraction and subsequent usage of a solid fraction for energy (pellets) or fertilizer aims can be one of he most effective ways of slurry and digestate management. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the separation of slurry and digestate pulp and analysis of the physico-chemical composition of the solid fraction separated on the strainers of different sizes. Also the slurry and digestate pulp effluent after passing the micro-strainers was analyzed. The results showed large differences in the fractions distribution and the content of organic matter between the slurry and particular types of the digestate pulp. It has been stated that only digestate pulp from the fermentation of the plants with large amount of hardly biodegradable materials (cellulose, lignin) can be considered as a substrate for the pellets production for energy purposes.

Opis:
The first record of Mesozoic mammals in Ethiopia is a fragment of a lower mammalian molar discovered in residues left after acid dissociation of a small (ca. 4 kg) geological hand sample of a fine−grained bone bed in the lower part of the Mugher Mudstone exposed in the valley of the Jema River. This bone bed is part of a series of estuarine to fluvial deposits that are thought to be of Late Jurassic (Tithonian) age. The fragment preserves the trigonid of a molar; the distal part of its crown is missing. Morphological characters of the trigonid indicate the specimen (JEM−5/21) documents the presence of a mammal with a dentition at either a derived pretribosphenic or primitive tribosphenic grade of evolution. Absence of a well developed basal cingulid around the mesial end of the crown argues against phylogenetic relationships to the australosphenidans. Loss of the distal portion of the crown removed characters critical for determining its grade of evolution. The working hypothesis that JEM−5/21 represents a “peramuran” is advanced for testing. Hypotheses that it represents a mammal with a more derived grade of molar evolution or a previously unknown group of mammals cannot be excluded. JEM−5/21 establishes the presence of mammals in Ethiopia during the Late Jurassic, and its discovery identifies a fossil locality warranting thorough future exploration.

Opis:
In order to survive periods of adverse cold climatic conditions, plant requirements are satisfi ed by means of physiological adaptations to prevent cells from freezing. Thus, the growth of woody plants in temperate regions slows down and they enter into a physiological state called dormancy. In order to identify the chilling and heat requirements to overcome the dormancy period of Cupressaceae pollen type in the south of Europe, we have carried out our study with aerobiological data from a 10-year (1996- 2005) period in Ponferrada, León (Spain). For the chilling requirements the best result was with a threshold temperature of 7.1ºC and an average of 927 CH. Calculation of heat requirements was carried out with maximum temperature, with 490 growth degree days (GDD) needed, with a threshold temperature of 0ºC. We have used the 2002-2003, 2003- 2004 and 2004-2005 periods in order to determine the real validity of the model. We have not used these years in developing the models. The dates predicted differ in only a few days from those observed: in 2002-2003 there was a difference of 11 days, in 2003-2004 predicted and observed dates were the same, but in 2004-2005 the difference obtained was of 43 days.

Opis:
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to identify modifiable protective factors of the progression of acute/subacute low back pain (LBP) to the persistent state at an early stage to reduce the socioeconomic burden of persistent LBP. Patients attending a health practitioner for acute/subacute LBP were assessed at baseline addressing occupational, personal and psychosocial factors, and followed up over 12 weeks. Pearson correlations were calculated between these baseline factors and the presence of nonpersistent LBP at 12-week follow-up. For those factors found to be significant, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. The final 3-predictor model included job satisfaction, mental health and social support. The accuracy of the model was 72%, with 81% of nonpersistent and 60% of persistent LBP patients correctly identified. Further research is necessary to confirm the role of different types of social support regarding their prognostic influence on the development of persistent LBP.

Opis:
Polska jest jednym z czołowych producentów drobiu w Europie. Roczne ilości odchodów drobiowych w skali kraju to blisko 4 mln ton. Tradycyjna gospodarka pomiotem drobiowym powoduje silną uciążliwość odorową oraz może być groźna dla środowiska z uwagi na wymywanie dużych ilości azotu, związków mineralnych i przeniesienie licznych patogenów. Dodatkowo składowane w pryzmach odchody drobiowe emitują duże ilości metanu oraz amoniaku. Fermentacja metanowa może być skuteczną technologią eliminacji wspomnianych wcześniej uciążliwości. Okazuje się jednak, że mimo rozwoju biogazowni rolniczych w Europie, nie istnieje wydajna technologia pozwalająca na fermentację pomiotu. Celem pracy było określenie możliwości fermentacji metanowej pomiotu w mieszance z najpopularniejszym wsadem do biogazowni czyli kiszonką z kukurydzy. Uzyskane wyniki dowodzą, że fermentacja pomiotu bez domieszek daje niską produkcję biogazu na poziomie 340 m3/t s.m, co jest ponad 2-krotnie mniejszym wynikiem niż wydajność kiszonki z kukurydzy. Jednak dodatek kiszonki do fermentacji pomiotu pozwala na znaczący wzrost wydajności biogazowej i zwiększenie efektywności procesu.
Poland is one of the leading producers of poultry in Europe. The annual quantities of the poultry manure in the national scale are close to 4 million tons. The traditional economy of poultry manure causes strong odor nuisance and may be dangerous to the environment due to the leaching of the large amounts of nitrogen, minerals and transfer of many pathogens. Additionally, poultry manure stored in the piles emits large amounts of methane and ammonia. The methane fermentation can be an effective technology of elimination of the before mentioned nuisance. However it turns out, that despite the development of agricultural biogas plants in Europe, there is no efficient technology that enables manure fermentation. The aim of this study was to determine the possibilities of methane fermentation of the poultry manure in the mixture of the most popular input for biogas plants that is maize silage. The obtained results show that fermentation of the poultry manure without any additives gives low production of biogas at the level of 340 m3/t of dry matter, which is the result almost twice lower than the efficiency of maize silage. However, the silage addition to the poultry manure fermentation allows for a significant increase of biogas productivity and growth of the process efficiency.

Opis:
A ten-week experiment using twenty four (24) weaner rabbits (Chinchila x New Zealand White) aged 8 to 9 weeks with an average initial body weight of 431.20+0.74g were randomly allocated to four treatment diets of T1(control), T2(5% NLM), T3(10% NLM) and T4(15% NLM) in a completely randomized design. They were fed for 10 weeks during which data on growth and haematology were collected and analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and means separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that the average total body weight gains were 739.60g (T1), 717.85g (T2), 740.18g (T3) and 729.45g (T4).There was no significant difference (p>0.05) when T1 and T3 as well as T2 and T4 were compared but significant (p<0.05) when T1 and T2 as well as T3 and T4 were compared. Also the average weekly feed intake showed that T1, T2, T3 and T4 consumed 313.91g, 313.24g, 312.48g and 314.69g respectively. However, there was significant difference (p<0.05) when all the treatments were compared in this respect. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) showed that T3 (4.22) was the best followed by T1 (4.24), T4 (4.31) and T2(4.36) with significant differences (p<0.05) among them except (p>0.05) between T1 and T3. The haematological indices showed that though all the parameters fell within the normal physiologic ranges, the PCV was 37.62% (T1), 38.42% (T2), 39.60% (T3) and 39.03% (T4) and when compared, were all significantly different (p<0.05) except (P>0.05) for T3 and T4 while the haemoglobin concentration showed that T1(13.47g/dl) was significantly different (p<0.05) from T2(14.18g/dl), T3(14.34g/dl), and T4(13.97g/dl). The white blood cell count showed that T3 (10.62 x109/L) had the highest value followed by T1 (10.12 x109/L), T4 (9.34 x109/L) and T2 (9.18 x109/L) with a significant difference (p<0.05) occurring when T1 and T3 were compared to T2 and T4 while the red blood cell counts indicated that T1 had the highest value of 4.92 x106/L followed by T3(4.89 x106/L), T2(4.73 x106/L) and T4(4.65 x106/L) without any significant difference among the treatments. All the values fell within the normal range. It is therefore recommended that inclusion of neem leaf meal in the diets of rabbits up to 10% is not detrimental since it improved feed conversion ratio (FCR), growth performance and had no negative effect on haematological values.

Opis:
We study the evolution from BCS to Bose limit in a two-dimensional d-wave superconductor at zero temperature and low density of charge carriers within the mean-field theory. We examine single quasiparticle properties when particle density and attraction strength are varied. For sufficiently high interaction strength there is a critical density below which the system has a gap. The spectral and thermodynamic properties of the system do not evolve smoothly from the BCS-like to the Bose-like regime.
