THE IMPACT OF THE UNIFIED POWER FLOW CONTROLLER ON MAXIMIZATION OF LOADABILITY OF ELECTRIC POWER GRID

The building of additional transmission network to meet the demand of the everincreasing load is expensive, and time consuming. An alternative to constructing new lines is the incorporation of the Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS); in which a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a member of the ménage, which can be modelled as a combination of Static Var Compensator and Thyristor Control Series Compensator. This study determines the optimal location of the UPFC by randomly adding loads to the existing transmission network until the Fast Voltage Stability Index of one of the lines is at a critical point. This is the vital line in which UPFC components are added. The sizing of the components of the UPFC is determined using Artificial Bee Colony algorithm. The IEEE 30-bus network is exploited as the test bed. The results obtained reveal that the optimal positioning and sizing of the UPFC for the purpose of maximizing loadability of the grid when load angles are assumed to be negligible are the same as when the load angles are considered. The loadability of the test bed when UPFC is not injected in the grid is 440.376 MW, whereas, it is 837.915 MW when the UPFC is optimally located and sized; and this represents 90.27 %. The sizes of the shunt and series components of the UPFC that assist in realizing this maximization are -0.2780 pu and 0.1000 pu respectively.
Effect of pH on Physico-Chemical and Mechanical Properties of Composite Films

The effect of pH on physico-chemical and mechanical properties of composites films prepared from natural resources was reported in this study. Composite films varying in their pH (range 3-7) containing soya protein (SY) and sago starch (SG) were prepared by solvent casting method. These films were cross linked with glutaraldehyde to improve their mechanical properties. The films prepared were characterized for their water absorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical properties and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results obtained showed that change in pH of the SG-SY-G composite from its native pH of 5, has significantly influenced the water absorption capacity, and rearrangement in the functional groups. An increase in the thermal stability was observed beyond the native pH and thermally unstable below the native pH (i.e pH3 and 4). The scanning electron microscope studies have shown a smooth surface of the SG-SY-G film in the pH range 3, 4 and 5 and presence of smooth surface with granules in the pH 6 and 7. This study revealed that change in the pH of soya protein from its native pH 5, has influenced notable changes in its physico-chemical and mechanical properties to that of other composites prepared in other pH range.

Leisure Activities as a Driver of Personality Development? A Random-Intercept Cross-lagged Panel Model Across 13 Years in Adulthood

Repeated experiences and activities drive personality development. Leisure activities are among the daily routines that may elicit personality change. Yet despite the important role they play in daily life, little is known about their prospective effects on personality traits and vice versa. The objective of this study was to examine the extent to which within-person changes in leisure activities lead to prospective changes in personality traits, and whether changes in personality elicit prospective changes in leisure activities. We applied random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPM) to four waves of 13-year longitudinal data (2005−2017) from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) for the sample as a whole (N = 55,790) and for three specific age groups (young, middle-aged, and older adults). We examined between-person associations and within-person auto-regressive effects, correlated change and cross-lagged effects for Big Five personality traits (i.e., openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism) with self-reported frequency of leisure activities (i.e., physical activities, socializing, volunteering, political activity, artistic and musical activity, going out) and overall participation in leisure activities. At the between-person level, leisure activities and overall participation were most strongly associated with openness to experience. At the within-person level, we found reciprocal effects of extraversion only with overall participation in leisure activities and socializing. We found unidirectional within-person cross-lagged effects between leisure activities and personality traits and vice versa. Some effects were age-group-specific only. These findings suggest that leisure activities that are associated with certain traits at the between-person level are not necessarily those that trigger change in the respective personality trait. We discuss our findings based on the TESSERA framework for personality development. We conclude that the specificity of an experience or behavior and its corresponding trait is essential for personality development and should be subjected to further research.
Improvement of Outcomes in Hemodynamically Unstable Patients With Pelvic Fracture Following The Establishment of a Trauma Center: A Single Center Observational Study in Korea

Background: The trauma center and multidisciplinary management protocols have been proved to improve the outcomes of severely injured patients. Hemorrhage from pelvic injury is associated with high mortality and is a common cause of preventable trauma death. This study aims to evaluate the effects of the establishment of a trauma center and management protocols on the outcomes of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures.Methods: Hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures were reviewed retrospectively over a 10-year period. They were grouped into periods 1 and 2, which were defined as before and after the establishment of a trauma center and protocols, respectively. Basic characteristics and outcomes were compared between periods.Results: This study enrolled a total of 106 patients. Basic and physiological characteristics were not significantly different in both periods. Pre-peritoneal packing (PPP) and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta (REBOA) were only performed in period 2 (PPP, N = 27; REBOA, N = 10). In period 2, the time from emergency room arrival to hemostatic intervention was significantly shorter (269 ± 132.4 min. vs. 147.2 ± 95.5 min., p < 0.0001), and mortality due to acute hemorrhage was significantly decreased (33.3% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.018). The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, ISS, and period 1 as independent risk factors for mortality.Conclusion: The establishment of a trauma center and multidisciplinary management protocols, such as PPP and REBOA, improved the outcomes of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures.

Knowledge Gained by Students of Commercial Vegetable Production (ELP) Module

Agriculture education existed in India even during the medieval period, as evidenced by the historical documentation that the curriculum of Nalanda and Takshashila university had agriculture as one of the eighteen subject taught. The importance of the application of Science and Technology for Agricultural development was realized as early as in the beginning of century. Among the several commissions appointed for suggesting steps to streamline Agriculture development, the Royal Commission (1926) emphasized the need for a strong research base for agricultural development. In general, appreciation for experiential learning is more of rhetoric in the existing undergraduate International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 10 Number 02 (2021) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
An ultrasound study of frequency and co-articulation

Anticipatory coarticulation has been reported to be affected by word form frequency. However, it remains unclear whether frequency effect also modulates carry-over (perseverative) coarticulation. To investigate the interaction of word form frequency effect and carry-over/anticipatory coarticulations, ultrasound imaging was performed on the articulation of the vowel [a:] in German verbs. Effects of coarticulation were induced by controlling the verb’s suffixes and preceding pronouns. Contrary to the standard tongue contour analysis, we analyzed whole ultrasound images using Generalized Additive Models. We found more fronted tongue root, lower tongue body, and higher tongue tip in low-frequency words. By contrast, high-frequency words showed a more rounded tongue shape. This was reflected by the middle part of the tongue to be higher and the tongue root more retracted in high frequency words in comparison to low frequency words. These findings indicate more optimized tongue movements for higher frequency words.
Success Criteria for Automation and Robotics in Industrialised Building System (IBS)

Automation and robotics in the Industrialised Building System (IBS) hold much promise for the Malaysian construction industry to move towards the fourth industrial revolution. Previous studies lacked in-depth exploration of stakeholder perception for measuring automation and robotics success within the industry. This paper examined the stakeholder perception of success criteria for measuring automation and robotics in IBS. The study was conducted through a questionnaire survey with wide-ranging IBS stakeholder that yielded two-hundred and one (201) effective response. A total of nineteen (19) success criteria for measuring automation and robotics in IBS were analysed through exploratory factor analysis, mean score and ANOVA. The findings reveal that reduce construction time, reduce production time, reduce waste, reduce material consumption, and improved occupational safety and health are the most important criteria for measuring automation and robotics in IBS. This paper contributes to the literature of automation and robotics in IBS and providing new insights for future research and development.
The Effect of Context and Individual Differences in Human‐Generated Randomness

Abstract Many psychological studies have shown that human‐generated sequences are hardly ever random in the strict mathematical sense. However, what remains an open question is the degree to which this (in)ability varies between people and is affected by contextual factors. Herein, we investigated this problem. In two studies, we used a modern, robust measure of randomness based on algorithmic information theory to assess human‐generated series. In Study 1 (N=183), in a factorial design with task description as a between‐subjects variable, we tested the effects of context and mental fatigue on human‐generated randomness. In Study 2 (N=266), in online research, in experimental design, we further investigated the effect of mental fatigue on the randomness of human‐generated series and the relationship between the need for cognition (NFC) and the ability to produce random‐like series. Results of Study 1 show that the activation of the ability to produce random‐like series depends on the relevance of the contextual cues (χ2(2)=7.9828,p=. 0192), whether they activate known representations of a random series generator and consequently help to avoid the production of trivial sequences. Our findings from both studies on the effect of mental fatigue (Study 1 – t(47,529.5568)=−18.62,p<. 001; Study 2 – F(edf=3.587,Ref.df=3.587)=11.863,p<. 0001) and cognitive motivation (t(180)=2.66,p=. 009) demonstrate that regardless of the context or task's novelty people quickly lose interest in the random series generation. Therefore, their performance decreases over time. However, people high in the NFC can maintain the cognitive motivation for a longer period and consequently on average generate more random series. In general, our results suggest that when contextual cues and intrinsic constraints are in optimal interaction people can temporarily escape the structured and trivial patterns and produce more random‐like sequences.
Co-occurrence of Carbapenemase-encoding Genes Among Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Isolates: Positive Relationship of bla NDM and bla SIM with Imipenem Resistance

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP), known as a significant public health threat, is the most common causative agent of nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate resistance to carbapenems and determine the prevalence of carbapenemase genes and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of K. pneumoniae clinical isolates. Methods: One-hundred K. pneumoniae isolates were evaluated. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of imipenem and meropenem were assessed by the broth microdilution method. Multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied to detect 11 carbapenemase-encoding genes belonging to different classes. The alleles and sequence types (ST) of three isolates were identified by MLST. Results: The MIC of carbapenems for the isolates ranged from 0.062 to 32 µg/mL. Overall, resistance rates to imipenem and meropenem were reported 11% and 34%, respectively. The bla IMP gene was the most abundant (78.4%), followed by bla OXA-48 (48.6%), bla GIM (27%), bla KPC (27%), bla SIM (21.6%), bla BIC (21.6%), bla NDM (16.2%), bla AIM (16.2%), bla VIM (16.2%), bla DIM (8.1%), and bla SPM (8.1%). The co-existence of carbapenemase genes was observed in 81.8% of the isolates. A positive relationship was found between the presence of bla NDM and bla SIM and resistance to imipenem. Multilocus sequence typing results showed three different sequence types, including ST14, ST5188, and ST1861. Conclusions: This study revealed a high prevalence of CR-KP isolates that suggests a high risk of horizontal gene transfer and potential to spread resistance among other strains. Since STs are reported for the first time in Iran, they can be considered as emerging strains.

And neural network is applied to verify the correctness of torque and torque ripple. Finally, the electromagnetic performance including flux density, back electromotive force, torque quality of an optimized machine is illustrated.
Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bovine Subclinical Mastitis and During Milk Separation Isolates and the Accompanying Hygienic Practices

Milk is considered one of the most perfect foods for humans and milk contains many nutrients. Subclinical mastitis has been counted as a great problem for dairy manufacture. The disease causes severe economic losses due to lower milk production, treatment costs and increased labor and milk retained for human consumption after treatment and premature culling. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 3 villages of Tamia district, Fayoum governorate, Bacteriological examination, Antibiotic susceptibility test, to study the presence of sub-clinical mastitis and milk contamination during milk separation and milking process and to detect the most resistance isolate to antibacterial agents and find the suitable antibacterial and disinfectants. 25.7% of the milk samples were positive for the California test. Skim milk and cream showed the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Streptococcus aglacteae (S. aglacteae), Coliform bacteria, Arcanobacterium pyogenes (A. pyogenes) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The microbiological quality of the two disinfectants tested was considered satisfactory, as no significant number of microbial contaminants were recovered from them following the sterility test. Only 26.7% of milkers use water and soap for washing their hands. The participants had a lack of information about subclinical mastitis and improper hygienic practices during the milking and milk-handling process.
Physicochemical properties, nutritional value, and sensory attributes of a nectar developed using date palm puree and spirulina

ABSTRACT The aim was to develop nutritious drinks using date nectar with the two most popular Saudi date cultivars (Khalas and Sukkari) and spirulina at different substitution rates. The date puree was prepared with different concentrations of pectin enzymes. The approximate composition, microbiological quality, sugars, vitamins, and minerals of date puree and spirulina, as well as the contaminants, physical properties, fatty acids, and phytopigments of spirulina were evaluated. Chemical composition and sensory properties of the developed date drinks were also assessed. The results showed that spirulina is safe, free from contaminants and heavy metals, and appeared to contain appreciable amounts of essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and phytopigments. The microbiological loads of date puree and spirulina were very low, and there were no pathogenic microbes were found. Spirulina contained higher amounts of total solids, ash, protein, minerals, fiber, fat, and vitamins, than date puree, indicating its suitability as a rich source of nutrients for food fortification. In both date types, treatment of puree with 400 ppm enzyme yielded nectar with higher scores in all sensory attributes, indicating that this is a suitable concentration to yield acceptable juice amounts. The substitution of date nectar with 10% spirulina gave the highest scores for sensory attributes; consequently, this concentration was used for the formulation of functional nectar from date nectar and spirulina. Incorporation of 10% spirulina in date nectars showed a significant increase in the contents of total solids, protein, essential amino acids, ash, fat, sugars, carotenoids, and chlorophyll in the date nectars, thereby improving its nutritional and health properties.
The effect of laser and therapeutic ultrasound on the treatment of symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome: A narrative review

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a peripheral neuropathy characterized by pain, numbness, and paresthesia. These symptoms usually occur on the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. The syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve as it crosses the wrist through the carpal tunnel. Physiotherapy is able to help patients with CTS in many cases. In recent years, the use of laser and therapeutic ultrasound has become increasingly popular in the treatment of CTS. The aim of this study is to review the latest research data and evaluate the effect of laser and therapeutic ultrasound, but also to compare the treatment methods with each other to find which of the two is more useful. Literature search was performed on the PubMed, PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) and Google Scholar databases. The keywords used are: carpal tunnel syndrome, laser, Ultrasound. Furthermore, appropriate criteria were applied in the search, such as language and time restriction. This review included 10 clinical studies. The literature review led to the conclusion that the application of laser and therapeutic ultrasound helps to treat the symptoms of the syndrome to a great extent. With proper application the results they offer can remain for many weeks after the end of treatment. Between the two, therapeutic ultrasound seems to be the best method of treatment, however, more studies are needed to draw a safe conclusion.
