Event-Based Dissipative Control of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Markov Jump Systems Under Sensor Saturation and Actuator Nonlinearity

This article proposes a new design of an event-based dissipative asynchronous controller for the interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy Markov jump systems (MJSs) subject to sensor saturation and actuator nonlinearity. By resorting to a generalized performance index, the ${H_\infty }$, passive, and dissipative fuzzy control problems are solved in a unified framework. The event-based scheme is developed for the IT2 fuzzy MJSs subject to sensor saturation and actuator nonlinearity, and the energy consumption of communication can be reduced. Moreover, the system and controller modes are asynchronous, and a hidden Markov model is employed to observe the modes of the original system. The membership-function-dependent approach is applied to analyze the stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
Optimisation of Baobab (Adansonia digitata) fruit processing and handling techniques for increased human nutrition and commercialisation in Malawi

The influence of thermal processing and preservation techniques on selected bioactive compounds of baobab fruit pulp and juice from Malawi were analysed using RP-HPLC whereas total phenol content (TPC) and antioxidant activity were measured by spectrophotometry. 1H NMR-based metabolomics was used to compare the metabolic profile of untreated (UT), high temperature short time (HTST) pasteurised and high temperature short time pasteurised with added citric acid (CAHTST) baobab juice samples and to analyse the temporal changes upon different storage conditions. Malawi baobab pulp contains high levels of procyanidin B2 (533.3 ± 22.6 mg/100 g FW), vitamin C (465.8 ± 2.5 mg/100 g FW), gallic acid (68.5 ± 12.4 mg/100 g FW) and (-)-epicatechin (43.0 ± 3.0 mg/100 g FW) and showed high TPC and antioxidant activity. Vitamin C content of dry baobab pulp and 10% juice (w/v) was retained during heat treatment by microwaving and pasteurisation (72 °C, 15 s) respectively. However vitamin C level in pasteurised juice significantly decreased during storage compared to untreated control, suggesting the demand for advanced processing methods including non-thermal pasteurisation. Seed liquor enhanced phenolic compounds in the juice but its influence on vitamin C needs further investigation. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of 1H NMR data produced distinct clusters separated according to treatment and storage conditions. For HTST and CAHTST juice samples, the most important accumulating metabolites were fructose, glucose and galacturonic acid, while sucrose decreased over time. The more rapid production of ethanol in UT juice is a clear indication that pasteurisation of juice alone or in combination with the addition of citric acid can minimise fermentation in baobab juice. Results from this study will enhance understanding of composition of baobab fruit products and promote development of quality novel functional foods to tackle malnutrition as well as expand market opportunities for Malawi.
Intercomparison of Three Open-Source Numerical Flumes for the Surface Dynamics of Steep Focused Wave Groups

NewWave-type focused wave groups are commonly used to simulate the design wave for a given sea state. These extreme wave events are challenging to reproduce numerically by the various Numerical Wave Tanks (NWTs), due to the high steepness of the wave group and the occurring wave-wave interactions. For such complex problems, the validation of NWTs against experimental results is vital for confirming the applicability of the models. Intercomparisons among different solvers are also important for selecting the most appropriate model in terms of balancing between accuracy and computational cost. The present study compares three open-source NWTs in OpenFOAM, SWASH and HOS-NWT, with experimental results for limiting breaking focused wave groups. The comparison is performed by analysing the propagation of steep wave groups and their extracted harmonics after employing an accurate focusing methodology. The scope is to investigate the capabilities of the solvers for simulating extreme NewWave-type groups, which can be used as the “design wave” for ocean and coastal engineering applications. The results demonstrate the very good performance of the numerical models and provide valuable insights to the design of the NWTs, while highlighting potential limitations in the reproduction of specific harmonics of the wave group.
The Prevalence and Outcome of Disruptive Behaviors in Nurses and Physicians: A Descriptive Study in Iranian Health Care Context

Background: Disruptive behavior is any inappropriate behavior, verbal-physical abuse, and threats that a therapist performs unprofessionally that leads to a significant negative impact on clinical outcomes of patient care and staff collaboration. Objectives: This study was done to investigate the prevalence of disruptive behavior among nurses and physicians and its effects on the health care context. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 248 medical staff in teaching medical centers affiliated with the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences participated. Data were collected employing a questionnaire with convenience sampling and analyzed by SPSS software using descriptive statistics. Results: Data revealed that 85.5% of the participants had experience disruptive behaviors from nurses and physicians. Also, 74 participants stated that the highest prevalence of disruptive behaviors by nurses and physicians were observed weekly, and 87% believed that these behaviors negatively influenced the treatment process. The probability of emerging problems, dangerous events, medical errors, the impaired patients’ safety, and a decrease in treatment quality sometimes occurs, though it often leads to dissatisfaction of the physician, nurse, and patient. In addition, 71% of the participants stated that there is no behavioral statute, and 89.1% believed that even if such a statute exists, there is no executive support. Conclusions: Due to the negative effects of disruptive behaviors and the prevalence of such behaviors among physicians and nurses, it is recommended to have a statute and management system that guarantees its implementation and train all the staff.

Aerosol Box Decreases Aerosol Exposure only in Depressurized Rooms on Intubation and Extubation

The aim was to assess the effectiveness of an aerosol box objectively in several clinical settings with our experimental model.Cake flour as an aerosol model was expelled with our experimental cough model. The primary outcomes were the number of 0.3-10-µm-sized particles. Secondary outcomes were high-resolution videography of aerosol dispersal during intubation and extubation with an aerosol box in a pressurized or depressurized room.On post hoc analysis, counts of all particle sizes at the physician position, medical staff position, and in the environment were significantly lower in a depressurized room with an aerosol box than in a pressurized room without an aerosol box during intubation (p<0.05 in all situations and all particle sizes). Counts of all particle sizes at the physician and medical staff positions were significantly lower in the depressurized room with an aerosol box than in a pressurized room without an aerosol box during extubation (p<0.05 in both situations and all particle sizes). Visual assessments supported the results of the primary outcomes and showed that an aerosol box in a depressurized room could effectively decrease aerosol exposure of the physician, medical staff, and environment.In conclusion, an aerosol box decreased aerosol exposure only in a depressurized room.
Principal Component Analysis for Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Rainfed Shallow Lowland Rice (Oryza sativa L)

The genetic diversity was estimated using seventy two genotypes of rice in a randomized block design with three replications at the rice research farm of Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour (Bhagalpur) during Kharif, 2019-20 to determine the contribution of fifteen quantitative traits to the total variability in rice using Principal component analysis. In the present investigation PCA was performed for fifteen quantitative traits of rice. All the 3PCs exhibited more than 1.0 Eigen value and showed about 95.00% variability. Therefore, these PCs were given due important for the further explanation. The PC1 showed 77.28 per cent variation of total variation followed by second to third components which accounted 15.65 and 2.05 per cent of total variation presented among the Original Research Article Raj et al.; CJAST, 39(48): 256-261, 2020; Article no.CJAST. 65184 257 genotypes, respectively. PC1 contributed 77.28% of the total variation and correlated with total carbohydrate, generation of H2O2, days to 50% flowering, biological yield, number of fertile grains per panicle, panicle length and flag leaf area while PC2 explained an additional 15.65% of the total variation and dominated by total carbohydrate, days to 50% flowering, harvest index, biological yield, total number of spikelet’s and plant height. PC III accounted 2.05 per cent of the total variability and correlated with the traits like days to 50% flowering, biological yield, total number of spikelet’s, 1000-seed weight, plant height, harvest index, generation of H2O2 and panicle length had maximum positive contribution Since, a total of 95.00% of the total variation was contributed by PC1 and PC2, therefore, these two principal components can be allowed for simultaneous selection of yield contributing traits in desi chickpea. Genotype usually found in more PC, were CR3933-13-2-14-1-2-1, TTB1011-14-171-2-2-1-2-1, TTB1032-45-937-2-3-3-1-1, (Santepheap3/IR498307/RajendraMahsuri)-1-3-1, (BR11/IR8041OB)-2-1-1, (RajendraMhasuri/CN1039)-4-2-1, TTB101114-243-1-2-2-2-1, TTB1032-45-937-2-3-3-1-1, CR4138-3-1-1, CR4139-9-2-1, CR4139-9-2and CR4128-9-1-1. Genotypes fall in a common principal component were observed to be the most important factor for seed yield. These genotypes may further be utilized in breeding programmes for improving seed yield and these genotypes can be considered an ideotype breeding material for selection of traits viz. more total number of seed per plant and 100-seed weight further utilization in precise breeding programme.
Ion exchange decontamination of alkaline solutions of nuclear waste

An ion exchange process was developed to remove /sup 137/Cs, /sup 90/Sr, and plutonium from alkaline solutions of nuclear waste. This waste has accumulated from greater than 20 years of reprocessing nuclear fuels and materials for defense programs at the Savannah River Plant and consists of approximately 20 million gallons of alkaline salt and solutions. In development tests, 100-liter quantities of liquid waste were decontaminated. The separated /sup 137/Cs, /sup 90/Sr, and plutonium were concentrated by a factor of 1500 and immobilized by adsorption onto zeolite. Residual activity, excluding /sup 106/Ru, in decontaminated salt cake will be about 6 nCi/g. /sup 106/Ru will decay to less than 6 nCi/g after the salt has been stored twelve years.
Egg hatching success is significantly influenced by the time of thermal stress in multiple hard tick species

Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods responsible for the transmission of disease-causing pathogens to a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including livestock and humans. Tick-borne diseases have been implicated in significant economic losses to livestock production, and this threat will increase as these obligate parasites widen their geographical ranges. Just like in other ectotherms, thermal stress due to changing global temperatures has been shown to influence tick survival and distribution. However, studies on the influence of extreme temperatures in ticks have focused on advanced, mobile stages, ignoring stages that are immobile and cannot move to more favorable microhabitats. In this study, low- and high-temperature regimens were assessed in relation to egg viability for hard tick species - Amblyomma maculatum (Gulf Coast tick), Ixodes scapularis (black-legged tick), Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick), and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Brown dog tick). Tick eggs exposed early in development were significantly more susceptible to thermal stress when compared with those exposed later in development. In our tested models, treatment was more important for egg hatching than species differences. Lastly, there was evidence of extreme thermal exposure significantly altering the hatching times of tick eggs for specific treatments. These results provide insights into the critical period for tick egg viability and potential tick control strategies as the globe continues to experience climate change.
The Role of Facebook Access and Partisan Bias on Belief in Misinformation: The Case of 2019 Indonesia Presidential Election

This study aims to understand the role of Facebook access and partisan bias on the belief in misinformation in the political context of the 2019 Presidential Election. Frequent use of Facebook and partisan bias for presidential candidates were predicted to influence belief in misinformation about illegal migrant workers from China in Indonesia. Using a structured questionnaire, a total of 1,818 participants who were representative of the Indonesian voter population were interviewed asking about their frequency of Facebook use, political support, awareness, and belief in misinformation about thousands of illegal migrant workers from China, as well as other demographic variables as part of national survey questions. Of these, there were 804 participants who were aware of misinformation about illegal migrant workers from China to be analyzed. The results of binomial logistic regression analysis showed that partisan bias significantly affected belief in misinformation—Subianto's (vs. Widodo's) supporters significantly have (vs. have not) a belief in the misinformation, whereas the frequency of Facebook usage and the effect of their interactions were not significant. This finding shows the strength of the influence of political support on belief in misinformation and the need to further study the influence of social media in Indonesia's political context.

Subduction-related metasomatism in the lithospheric mantle beneath the Calatrava volcanic field (central Spain): constraints from lherzolite xenoliths of the Cerro Gordo volcano

ABSTRACT Two types of lherzolite xenoliths appear in the Cerro Gordo maar from the Cenozoic Calatrava volcanic field. Hydrous lherzolites (group-1) show a major proportion of metasomatic amphibole (>5 modal%), whereas group-2 lherzolites have only accessory amounts or an absence of amphibole. Group-1 lherzolites show a higher LREE-Ba-Sr-Th content in whole-rock composition compared to group-2 lherzolites. The most depleted group-2 lherzolite xenoliths indicate a low degree of partial melting (<5%) of the mantle source, similarly to other Calatrava xenolith suites. Trace element content combined with Sr-Nd isotopic ratios suggests a protolith mantle source with the characteristics of a depleted MORB Mantle (DMM type). This mantle protolith was later refertilized by subduction-related metasomatism, causing the formation of modal amphibole and obliterating the original MORB-like chemical features in the most transformed xenoliths (group-1 lherzolites). The entrainment of these mantle fragments in the volcanic alkaline magma promoted amphibole breakdown reactions during its transport, generating silica-rich glasses with the associated unusual formation of secondary orthopyroxene. The suprasubduction character of the protolithic mantle combined with previously published Re-Os model ages in nearby lherzolite xenoliths suggests that the sampled lherzolites could represent the old Cadomian mantle wedge of the Central Iberian zone.
The Relationship between Secondary School Students’ Lifelong Learning Tendencies and Attitudes towards English Lesson as a Foreign Language

In this study, it is aimed to examine the lifelong learning tendencies of secondary school students and their attitudes towards English as a foreign language and whether there are differences in terms of gender, grade level and school type in terms of these two structures. The population of the study is composed of 744 students, 358 female and 386 male students selected from seven secondary schools by cluster sampling in 2017-2018 academic year, in the secondary schools in Kaynarca district of Sakarya province. Correlational survey model was used to examine these relationships. The 17-item Lifelong Learning Trends Scale developed by Gur-Erdogan and Arsal (2016) was used to measure participants' lifelong learning tendencies. In order to measure the attitudes of the participants towards the English course, a 30-item Attitudes towards English Scale, which was developed by Hanci-Yanar (2008), was used. In the study, there was a moderate significant relationship between students’ lifelong learning tendencies and attitudes towards English course as a foreign language.
Screening of Indigenous Yeast From Different Ecological Region of Kathmandu Valley and Its Application in Wine Production

Objectives: The aim of the study was to isolate and screen the potent yeast from the air for implementing new yeast in wine fermentation. Methods: In this study, 35 air samples collected in sterile grape juice in glass jar and left over for four days exposure for the growth of yeast from different locations around the Kathmandu Valley. Yeasts were screened by culturing on selective Ethanol Sulfi te Agar (ESA) media at 30°C for 2-3 days in Microbiology Lab of Pinnacle College. Yeast isolates were characterized based on colony morphology, microscopic characteristics, Fermentative capacity, Hydrogen sulfi de production. Selected yeast isolates were subjected to ethanol fermentation and tested for alcohol tolerance capacity. Wine quality was assessed by sensory evaluation. Results: Of 35 samples, only 20 yeast isolates were isolated. Among these isolates, the variation in colony characteristics along with oval and ellipsoidal microscopic appearance was observed. All the isolates were able to ferment major sugars such as glucose, fructose and sucrose, but few could not ferment galactose and maltose, while none-fermented lactose and xylose. Here, isolates showing no H2S (L29, L34) and mild H2S producer (isolate L31) were subjected to ethanol fermentation. Also, Comparative analysis was made by using commercial standard wine yeast (STAN). Rapid fermentation of grape juice with initial 21 0Brix was observed in L31 isolate, which produced 12.99% v/v alcohol with titratable acidity (TA) 5.25 g/L, followed by L29 strain with 11.99%v/v alcohol and 4.5 g/L TA which were higher than STAN (10.99% alcohol). These isolates specifi ed as Ethanol tolerance up to 13%v/v, while none of them were able to grow at 15% v/v ethanol concentration and 45°C temperature. However, signifi cant growth was observed at pH 3 along with sugar tolerance capacity at 30 0Brix. The wine produced by these isolates was found to be remarkably different among each other. While the sensory analysis of wine led to isolate L31 being congenial to tasters. Conclusion: L31 isolate was found to be effi cient and advantageous for wine production indicating its industrial application.
Effect of Warning System on Interactive Driving Behavior at Unsignalized Intersection under Fog Conditions: A Study Based on Multiuser Driving Simulation

The intersection collision warning system (ICWS) is an emerging technology designed to assist drivers in avoiding collisions at intersections. ICWS has an excellent performance in reducing the number of collisions and improving driving safety. Previous studies demonstrated that when visibility was low under fog conditions, ICWS could help drivers timely detect hazardous conflicting vehicles. However, the influences of ICWS on interactive driving behavior at unsignalized intersection between different vehicles have barely been discussed. This study aimed to investigate the patterns of drivers’ interactive behaviors with the assistance of a new kind of ICWS under fog conditions based on Multiuser Driving Simulation. The Multiuser Driving Simulation allowed multiple drivers to operate in the same simulation scenario at the same time, and it could capture drivers’ interactions preferably. Forty-eight licensed drivers completed the driving simulation experiment in three fog conditions (no fog, light fog, and heavy fog) and two warning conditions (warning and no warning), in which the drivers drove in a straight-moving situation at unsignalized intersection with potential collision risks caused by the encounter of two vehicles. The results verified that warning and fog conditions were significant factors that affected the interactive driving behavior in the unsignalized intersection collision avoidance process, including the driver’s decision, TTC of action point, average acceleration (deceleration) rate, and postencroachment time. Compared to conditions without ICWS, the ICWS could help drivers make collision avoidance actions earlier and change the speed more smoothly. In addition, with the help of Multiuser Driving Simulation, associations between decision driving behaviors of vehicles were discussed with caution. The results revealed the decision-making mechanism of drivers in the process of interaction with other drivers. Under the influence of fog, interactive driving processes were fraught with increased risk at unsignalized intersection. However, the ICWS helped drivers interact more harmoniously, safely, and efficiently. The findings shed some light on the further development of ICWS and the study on interactive driving behavior.
