    Opis:
    There are ample facts that the whole world is facing an ecological crisis by reason of heavy deforestation. Thus, this study assesses the influence of deforestation on some selected villages in Borgu Local Government Area, Niger State. Data were collected from members of the community using a set of structured questionnaire. This was then analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentages and frequency count). Findings reveal that the major occupation is trading (33.3%), followed by farming (30%). The causes of deforestation in the study area include: fuelwood removal (31.7%), urbanization (25.0), logging (20.0%), subsistence farming (15.8%), population growth and overpopulation (3.3%), commercial farming (2.5%) and inequitable distribution of wealth and power (1.7%). Global warming (31.7%) was the major effect generated by deforestation in the study area, followed by soil erosion (24.2%). Encouragement of better agroforestry practices (30.8%) was seen as the major strategy for reducing deforestation by the respondents. Other best practices include: afforestation (27.5%), public enlightenment (13.3%), enforcement of forest land and policy (12.5%), forest education (8.3%), forest conservation and preservation (7.5%).

    Opis:
    A robust adaptive kinematic control strategy, based on the methodology of variable structure control is considered in this paper. Because the dynamics of mobile robots is subject to uncertainties and disturbances, a fuzzy compensator is adopted to estimate them. In order to minimize the tracking errors and to attenuate the chattering phenomenon, an adaptation law for the fuzzy compensator is obtained by Lyapunov stability theory so as to asymptotically stabilize the control system as well as guarantee the convergence of the tracking errors. In terms of comparison with the boundary layer variable structure controller, simulations and experiments verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed kinematic control strategy for the nonholonomic mobile robots under the incidence of uncertainties and disturbances.

    Opis:
    In this paper a stiffness control strategy based on the fuzzy mapped nonlinear terms of the robot manipulator dynamic model is proposed. The proposed stiffness controller is evaluated on a research robot manipulator performing a task in the operational space. Tests attempted to achieve fast motion with reasonable accuracy associated with lower computational load compared to the non-fuzzy approach. The stability analysis is presented to conclude about the mapping error influence and to obtain precondition criteria for the gains adjustment to face the trajectory tracking problem. Simulation results that supported the implementation are presented, followed by experiments and results obtained. These tests are conducted on a robot manipulator with SCARA configuration to illustrate the feasibility of this strategy.

    Opis:
    This paper analyses a trajectory tracking control problem for a wheeled mobile robot, Rusing integration of a kinematic neural controller (KNC) and a torque neural controller (TNC), in which both the kinematic and dynamic models contain uncertainties and disturbances. The proposed adaptive neural controller (PANC) is composed of the KNC and the TNC and is designed with use of a modeling technique of Gaussian radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs). The KNC is a variable structure controller, based on the sliding mode theory and is applied to compensate for the disturbances of the wheeled mobile robot kinematics. The TNC is an inertia-based controller composed of a dynamic neural controller (DNC) and a robust neural compensator (RNC) applied to compensate for the wheeled mobile robot dynamics, bounded unknown disturbances, and neural network modeling errors. To minimize the problems found in practical implementations of the classical variable structure controllers (VSC) and sliding mode controllers (SMC), and to eliminate the chattering phenomenon, the nonlinear and continuous KNC and RNC of the TNC are applied in lieu of the discontinuous components of the control signals that are present in classical forms. Additionally, the PANC neither requires the knowledge of the wheeled mobile robot kinematics and dynamics nor the timeconsuming training process. Stability analysis, convergence of the tracking errors to zero, and the learning algorithms for the weights are guaranteed based on the Lyapunov method. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

    Opis:
    Iron aluminides are iron-aluminum alloys that have excellent resistance to oxidation at high temperatures with low density, high resistance/weight ratio and a low manufacturing cost. Due to its characteristics, these alloys are presented as an option to replace stainless steels in certain applications. This works intends report the casting process and subsequent analyses involving microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of two Fe-Al-C alloys (Fe-11wt%Al and Fe-25wt%Al, containing 0.31-0.37%C), which were prepared in an induction furnace and poured in a permanent mold. Samples of these alloys were characterized and presented elevated hardness values of 37 HRC (alloy Fe-11wt%Al) and 49.6HRC (alloy Fe-25wt%Al) and microstructure with aluminides type Fe3Al and FeAl and also carbides type K. The Fe-11wt%Al alloy exhibited superior resistance to uniform corrosion, although both Fe-Al-C alloys exhibited significantly higher corrosion rates compared to a binary iron aluminide in 0.5M H2SO4 containing naturally dissolved oxygen.

    Opis:
    Osteoporosis is often treated with the use of sodium alendronate - a drug that inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and regulates rate of bone turnover. However the disadvantage of oral administration of sodium alendronate is poor drug absorption from the gastrointestinal track and severe adverse effects. Therefore we propose local sustained drug delivery systems based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) micro- and nanocarriers, which can be administered directly by simple injections to the required place in the body. In this study we encapsulated sodium alendronate into PLGA micro- and nanospheres via a double-emulsification technique. Emulsion formation in different shear rate conditions was used to optimize the size of the carriers. The prepared microspheres were observed under an inverted optical microscope which confirmed their micrometric size. The nanospheres were analyzed by atomic force microscopy, which allowed visualization of their shape and measurement of their size. Moreover the hydrodynamic diameter of the nanospheres, polydispersity index as well as zeta potential were examined by dynamic light scattering. The experiments show that drug release does not depend on the size of the carriers. Analyzed carriers do not cause cytotoxicity upon contact with osteoblast like-cells.

    Pharmaceutical industry produces complex and bio-refractory wastewater whose discharge throughout water courses constitutes an environmental danger. Although several works can be found handling with simulated pharmaceutical effluents, data reporting results gathered using actual wastewater is still scarce. This work reveals that Fe-Ce-O and red volcanic rock are interesting catalysts for dark and photo-Fenton. Furthermore, the light/H2O2 system showed interesting results and it is now being explored at the pilot scale by the pharmaceutical industry that provided the effluent.

W prezentowanej pracy stwierdzono, że Fe-Ce-O i czerwona skała wulkaniczna są ciekawymi katalizatorami w reakcji foto-Fentona. Ponadto układ światło/H2O2 wykazał się interesującymi właściwościami i obecnie jest badany w skali pilotowej przy obróbce ścieków w przemyśle farmaceutycznym.

    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.

    $Ag_2Cu_2O_3$ films were deposited on glass and silicon substrates by RF magnetron sputtering of metallic equimolar $(Ag_{50}Cu_{50})$ alloy target in $Ar-O_{2}$ mixture at different substrate temperature $(T_{s})$ ranging between 303 and 523 K. The effect of $T_{s}$ on the core level binding energies, structural and electrical properties of the films was systematically studied. The films deposited at room temperature were amorphous. The films deposited at 373 K were polycrystalline and the crystallinity was increased when the $T_{s}$ was increased to 423 K. The films deposited at 423 K and subsequently annealed at 498 K exhibits single phase $Ag_2Cu_2O_3$. In the case of films deposited at higher $T_{s}$ of 523 K, $Ag_2O$ was decomposed into Ag. The electrical resistivity of the films deposited at 303 K was $1.2 \times 10^{-5}$ Ω cm, whereas the films formed at 423 K and subsequently annealed at 498 K showed electrical resistivity of $2.2 \times 10^{-3}$ Ω cm due to improvement in the crystallinity of single phase $Ag_2Cu_2O_3$.

    Pure and Ni (2 at.%) doped cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature. Effect of Ni doping on CdS compound semiconductors has been analyzed using X-ray diffractometer, transmission electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, Raman and optical absorption studies. X-ray diffraction study confirmed the structure of the obtained nanoparticles to be single-phase zinc blende with the diffractions from (111), (220) and (311) planes. Energy dispersive spectroscopy study confirmed the presence of Ni in the CdS lattice. The average particle size obtained from the transmission electron microscopy studies are in agreement with the crystallite size calculated from X-ray diffraction data. The optical studies exhibited a clear red shift of absorption edge as a function of Ni doping.

    Opis:
    Purpose: Otosclerosis is a metabolic bone disease of the otic capsule that can cause the stapes fixation, resulting in conductive hearing loss or, in a profound sensorineural deafness threshold. Surgery is one of the possible treatments for the otosclerosis. To repair small focus of otosclerosis in the anterior crus of the stapes, in 1960, Hough suggested the implementation of a technique in which part of the anterior crus is fractured and the stapes turned. As a result, the posterior crus of the stapes is the only connection with the inner ear. In this work, the outcome of Hough’s surgical technique was simulated. Methods: Based on computerized images, a finite element model of middle ear ossicles and tympanic membrane was created, as well as a model where the stapes has changed. The discretization of the tridimensional solid model was made using the ABAQUS software. The mechanical properties used were taken from the literature and adequate boundary conditions were applied. Results: The results obtained with the Hough technique simulation were compared with a representative model of the normal ear, taking into account the displacements obtained on the central part of the stapes footplate and the maximum principal stress in the stapes crus. Conclusions: The results obtained are closer to the normal ear model, therefore Hough technique stands out as a good option to correct small focus of otosclerosis.

    Opis:
    The mining waste and tailing dam are object of discussion due to the accidents that occur due to a lack of control or due to interest in the remaining minerals present in these materials. Most of the old tailings dams have high contents of heavy metals which could represent potential risks to the environment or be an alternative source of some critical raw materials. The case study of the Cabeco do Piao dam in Central Portugal involved tailings from a processing plant that belonged to the Panasqueira Mine Complex, which has been in operation for over 120 years. Waste rock and mining tailings were deposited in the area until 1995, and they represent an environmental liability for the local population due to their high content of toxic metals. Tailings reprocessing can be considered as a solution that minimizes social and environmental impacts, recovers some essential minerals, such as Zn, W, and Cu which can help to offset investments made. The project design involves several stages of metal concentration, determined by experiments, as well as a model of the process. The overall model will take into account technological constraints, social-economic conditions and environmental impacts. A preliminary result of an optimization study of the kinetic approach is presented in this piece of work.

    Opis:
    In this work, the establishment of a technology for HgI2 purification and crystal growth is described, aiming at a future application of this crystal as a room temperature radiation semiconductor detector. Two methods of crystal growth were studied in the development of this work: (1) physical vapor transport (PVT) and (2) saturated solution from dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) complexes. In order to evaluate the crystals obtained using each of these methods, systematic measurements were carried out for determining the stoichiometry, structure, orientation, surface morphology and impurity of the crystal. The influence of these physicochemical properties of the crystals developed was evaluated in terms of their performance as a radiation detector. The best response to radiation was found for the crystals grown by the PVT technique.

    Opis:
    Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the correlation between antenatal corticosteroids and peri-intraventricular haemorrhage (PIVH) using transfontanelle ultrasonography, as well as to evaluate the risk factors for its incidence. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using medical records of preterm newborns. The protocol for maternal corticoid administration for foetal lung maturation included dexamethasone 4 mg (intramuscular) 8/8 hours per 48 hours, with one cycle per week. The diagnosis of periintraventricular haemorrhage was based on transfontanelle ultrasonography, using the Papile’s classification. The following risk factors for peri-intraventricular haemorrhage were assessed: birth weight, gestational age at delivery, type of delivery, newborn’s sex, surfactant administration, premature rupture of membranes and previous history of infection during the current pregnancy. The student’s t-test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Our sample population included 184 preterm newborns. Transfontanelle ultrasonography revealed peri-intraventricular haemorrhage in 32 (74.4%) and periventricular leukomalacia in 11 (25.6%) newborns. Grade I haemorrhage was found in 20 (62.5%), grade II in five (15.6%), and grade III in seven (21.8%) newborns, as in accordance with Papile’s classification. Vaginal delivery (p = 0.010), birth weight <1500 g (p = 0.024), gestational age at delivery ≤32 weeks (p = 0.018), and previous history of infection during pregnancy (p = 0.013) were considered risk factors for peri-intraventricular haemorrhage in preterm newborns. Conclusion: Maternal corticoid administration for foetal lung maturation showed a protective effect against peri-intraventricular haemorrhage in preterm newborns. The risk factors for peri-intraventricular haemorrhage were determined.
    Cel pracy: Celem przedstawionego badania była ocena korelacji między prenatalną terapią kortykosteroidami a występowaniem krwawienia około-dokomorowego z zastosowaniem ultrasonografii przezciemiączkowej oraz analiza czynników ryzyka częstości jego występowania. Metody: Przeprowadzono retrospektywne badanie kohortowe obejmujące analizę dokumentacji medycznej przedwcześnie urodzonych noworodków. Protokół stosowania kortykosteroidów u ciężarnych kobiet w celu stymulacji dojrzewania płuc płodu obejmował deksametazon w dawce 4 mg (domięśniowo) 8/8 godzin na 48 godzin, jeden cykl tygodniowo. Rozpoznanie krwawienia około-dokomorowego oparto na ultrasonografii przezciemiączkowej z wykorzystaniem klasyfikacji Papile. Dokonano oceny następujących czynników ryzyka krwawienia około-dokomorowego: masa urodzeniowa, wiek ciążowy w chwili urodzenia, rodzaj porodu, płeć noworodka, podawanie surfaktantów, przedwczesne pęknięcie błon płodowych i zakażenia przebyte w trakcie ciąży. Analizę statystyczną przeprowadzono z zastosowaniem testu t-Studenta i testu χ2. Wyniki: Próba populacji obejmowała 184 przedwcześnie urodzone noworodki. Ultrasonografia przezciemiączkowa ujawniła krwawienie około-dokomorowe u 32 (74,4%) dzieci, natomiast leukomalację okołokomorową – u 11 (25,6%). Krwawienie I stopnia stwierdzono u 20 (62,5%), II stopnia – u 5 (15,6%), natomiast III stopnia – u 7 (21,8%) noworodków, zgodnie z klasyfikacją Papile. Za czynniki ryzyka krwawienia około-dokomorowego u przedwcześnie urodzonych noworodków uznano poród siłami natury (p = 0,010), masę urodzeniową

    Opis:
    In this paper we address a new hierarchical multicriteria routing model associated with a two-path traffic splitting routing method in MPLS networks whereby the bandwidth required by a given node-to-node traffic flow is divided by two disjoint paths. The model has two levels of objective functions and several constraints. An algorithmic approach is presented for calculating non-dominated solutions and selecting good compromise solutions to this problem. Also a number of computational experiments are presented.

    Opis:
    Control failure of pests and selectivity of insecticides to beneficial arthropods are key data for the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the control failure likelihood of Plutella xylostella and the physiological selectivity active ingredients to parasitoid Oomyzus sokolowskii (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and to predators Polybia scutellaris (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) and Lasiochilus sp. (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae). In bioassays, P. xylostella larvae and O. sokolowskii, P. scutellaris and Lasiochilus sp. adults were used. Concentration-mortality curves of six insecticides for P. xylostella were established. These curves were used to estimate the mortality of P. xylostella at the recommended concentration, in order to check a control failure of insecticides to this pest. Furthermore, the lethal concentration for 90% of populations (LC90) and the half of LC90 were used in bioassays with the natural enemies to determine the selectivity of these insects to insecticides. All tested insecticides showed control failure to P. xylostella, indicated by high LC90 and low estimated mortalities (less than 80%). The cartap insecticide was selective in half of LC90 to Lasiochilus sp. and moderately selective in LC90 and the half of LC90, to Lasiochilus sp. and P. scutellaris, respectively. Deltamethrin was moderately selective in the half of LC90 to predator Lasiochilus sp. Cartap, carbaryl, and deltamethrin reduced the mortality of Lasiochilus sp. in the half LC90. The results also showed that the insecticides methamidophos, carbaryl, parathion methyl and permethrin were not selective to any of the tested natural enemies. The role of insecticides in IPM systems of Brassica crops is discussed based on their control failures to P. xylostella and selectivity to their natural enemies.

    Opis:
    Gamma-ray tomography experiments have been carried out to detect spatial patterns in the porosity, in a 0.27 m diameter packed steel column using a first generation computed tomography (CT) system. The CT scanner consists of a NaI(Tl) detector 5.08 cm in diameter, and an encapsulated 137Cs (3.7 GBq) radioactive source, located opposite to the center of the detector. The detector and the source, mounted on a fixed support and the column, can rotated and dislocate by two stepping motors controlled through a microprocessor. Different sizes of stainless steel Raschig rings (12.6, 37.9 and 76 mm) have been examined. The primary objective of this work is to detect spatial patterns and statistical information on porosity variation in packed distillation columns. Horizontal scans, at different vertical positions of the packed bed were made for each size of Raschig rings. Radial porosity variation within the packed bed has been determined. This study has demonstrated that the porosity and its spatial distribution in a metallic packed column can be measured with adequate spatial resolution using the gamma-ray tomography technique. After validation of this first generation CT, the turntable design to rotate and dislocate the 60Co or 137Cs sealed gamma-ray sources and multidetector array for the third generation industrial computed tomography was also developed.
