A simple wind speed independent actuator disk control method is proposed that can be applied to speed up annual energy production calculations of wind farms using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations. The new control method allows the user to simulate the effect of different wind speeds in one simulation by scaling a calibrated thrust coefficient curve, while keeping the inflow constant. Since the global flow is not changed, only the local flow around the actuator disks needs be recalculated from a previous converged result, which reduces the number of required iterations and computational effort by a 5 factor of about 2-3.
Intensitas Cahaya dan Efisiensi Fotosintesis pada Tanaman Naungan dan Tanaman Terpapar Cahaya Langsung

Plant growth and productivity influenced by light. Sunlight activates light-dependent reactions or LDR and Calvin cycle or LIR in plant. Different light intensity induce change of LDR and LIR. Adaptation through efficiency of photon absorption, regulation of photosystem II - photosystem I, and carbon fixation can make photosynthesis efficiently. This paper aims to review research on photosynthesis mechanism in sun and shade plants. Alteration of light absorption in plants produce morphological and physiological adaptations. Plant adaptation mechanism use sieve effect, light channeling, and acclimatization. Distribution of chlorophyll in both types of plants changed the photosynthesis photon flux density. Propagation and distribution of light needed through vacuoles to minimize the distance on electron transport chain. Physiological acclimatization accelerates by changing the composition of chlorophyll and PSII / PSI ratio. Shade plants have a high ratio PS II / PSI and high ratio chlorophyll a / b to increase the light-harvesting complex and make photosynthesis efficiently.
IMMUNOMODULATORY ACTIVITY OF THE CHENOPODIUM OPULIFOLIUM TOTAL CRUDE EXTRACT IN WISTER ALBINO RATS

Background: Chronic disease conditions like cancer, diabetes, malnutrition and HIV/AIDS compromise the immune system thus necessitating immune boasting. The use of medicinal herbs in immunomodulation is now common, albeit with limited evidence regarding efficacy. We therefore investigated the immunomodulatory activity of the total crude leaf and stem extract of Chenopodium opulifolium in mice. Materials and methods: An experimental study was conducted using four groups of rats each with 6 animals with treatments administered daily for 29 days. Group one served as the positive control and received 20mg/kg of levamisole. Group 2, the negative control received 2 ml of an olive oil and normal saline mixture. Groups 3 and 4 received 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg bwt of the total crude leaf and stem extract respectively. On the 15th day, whole blood was collected for complete blood count and delayed type hypersensitivity response determination, haemagglutination antibody titer assay was done on blood collected on the 29th day. Results: Results revealed that the extract had a significant (P< 0.05) effect on haemagglutination antibody titers with the highest response observed in the extract group at 200mg/kg (30.67±1.33). The mean WBC (3.13±0.71×103/μl), neutrophil (0.93±0.48 cells/ μl) and lymphocyte (2.20±0.00 cells/ μl) counts in the 200mg/kg bwt extract group were elevated to levels comparable to the positive control. Conclusion: The total crude extract of Chenopodium opulifolium exhibits immunomodulatory activity in a dose dependent manner. Future studies utilizing pure extracts in order to pin point to the extract mechanism responsible for Immunomodulation are required for more conclusive results.
The Effect of Knowledge Identification and Knowledge use on Performance of Small and Medium-Scaled Enterprises (SMEs): A Study of Apparel SMEs in Sri Lanka

The previous empirical findings identified knowledge identification and knowledge use as two dimensions of knowledge management; however, both areas were not extensively studied in the literature. Therefore, the paper attempted to determine the nature of knowledge identification and knowledge use on the performance of apparel sector Small and Medium-scaled Enterprises (SMEs) in Sri Lanka and also to analyze the effect of the performance of apparel SMEs. The population was determined from export performance indicators of the Export Development Board of Sri Lanka (EDB) as of 2017, and National Frame Work for SMEs in Sri Lanka was taken as the parameter to classify SMEs, which record annual turnover less than LKR 750 million. A simple random sampling technique was used as the sampling technique to ensure appropriate representation of the sample population. The owners of export-oriented apparel SMEs in Sri Lanka have been considered as respondents. A self-administrated questionnaire was used to gather primary data and SPSS 21 version was used to generate results.
The Effect of Head-Neck And Hand Massage on Spinal Headache After Cesarean Section: Randomized Clinical Trial

Introduction: Caesarean section has been introduced as a method protecting the life of method for and infant and Spinal anesthesia is the most common anesthetic technique used in cesarean section The rate of headache after spinal anesthesia has been reported from 0.1% to 36% in several studies. Headaches caused after spinal anesthesia are stressful for mothers and prevent desired caring of mothers from infant and lactation. Hence, the current research was conducted to evaluate the impact of head-neck and hand massage on headache severity after spinal anesthesia in women underwent cesarean delivery. Methods: The present study is a randomized controlled clinical trial in which 60 patients undergoing cesarean section referring to Tabriz Azad University of Medical Sciences were randomly divided into two intervention groups (massage group on face-neck pressure and massage group On the pressure points of the hands) and the control group. In the first and second group, massage was performed 3 times a day for 15 minutes over 2 consecutive days on compression points of the head and neck. the following tools were used to collect the data demographic questionnaire and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). To analyze the data, in addition to descriptive statistics, Repeated Measures ANOVA was used to compare the duplicate data (mean pain severity) in each of the groups and ANOVA test was used to compare the mean pain severity among three groups (inter-group comparisons). Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software at a significance level of 0.05. Results:The results of this study showes that mean headache severity in the control group was higher than that in the head- neck massage group and the hand massage group, and comparison of intervention groups showed that head-neck massage group had significantly lower headache severity compared to hand massage group and control group. Conclusion: findings of this research suggest that massage therapy affects the severity of headache caused by spinal anesthesia in patients underwent cesarean section surgery.

Structural Analysis of a Filamentous Chaperonin from Sulfolobus solfataricus

Chaperonins are biomolecular complexes that assist protein folding. Thermophilic Factor 55 (TF55) is a group II chaperonin found in the archaeal genus Sulfolobus and which undergoes changes in modular subunit composition in a temperature-dependent manner. TF55 can form filamentous assemblies that may be a component of the archaeal cytoskeleton or sequester inactive chaperonin. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we have determined the structure of the β-only complex of S. solfataricus TF55 complexes to 3.6 A resolution and its filamentous form to 5.2 A resolution. Filament formation can be induced when the protein is enriched in solution or in the presence of the detergent dodecyl maltoside. Helical protrusions in the apical domain facilitate end-on-end interactions in the filamentous state. Our findings establish the molecular basis for forming chaperonin filaments in Sulfolobus and may suggest how filament formation could function as a cold-shock response and provides a background for generating tuneable protein nanowires.
Extruded flakes from pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) - carrot (Daucus carota) blended flours- Production, nutritional and sensory attributes

Abstract Millet flour (M) and carrot flour(C) were produced and blended in the ratios 100M:0C, 95M:5C, 90M:10C, 85M:15C and 80M:20C respectively to produce extruded flakes. The composite flours were subjected to analysis of the proximate and mineral composition, as well as functional and pasting properties. Extruded flakes were analyzed for proximate composition, total carotenoids, colour and sensory evaluation. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the proximate, functional and pasting properties but there were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the mineral composition (Ca, Fe, Zn, Mg and P). Extrusion cooking significantly (p < 0.05) reduced moisture content from 4.5 to 3.5%, and it is also significantly (p < 0.05) increased the crude fibre from 2.84 to 4.53%, on the other hand, protein content decreased with the increase in carrot flour. Total carotenoids were not significantly (p > 0.05) affected by extrusion cooking. In terms of the lightness (L*), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*), 100% millet flakes had the least values of 50.09, 0.076 and 10.39 respectively. Sample with 85M:15C had the overall acceptance score of 7.25. In terms of colour and taste, the sample with 90M:10C had the highest scores of 8.50 and 6.50 respectively. Sample with 85M: 15C was most preferred in terms of crunchiness. The results indicate that pearl millet and carrot are rich in different nutrient when blended in the right proportions to make composite flour, it would produce nutrient-dense food product rich in protein, vitamin Aand minerals.

Belonging and Marital Perception Variances in Emerging Adults With Differing Disability Identities

Emerging adulthood is a developmental period that i s not adolescence nor adulthood, but rather a separate period of change and exploration (Arnett, 2000). During this time, emerging adults consolidate aspects of their identity to begin psychosocially establishing their adult self (Arnett, 2000). According to Erikson, Paul, Heider, and Gardner (1959), young adulthood is a time for exploring identity and developing a sense of intimacy with others. Emerging adults’ pursuit of identity consolidation and relationships with others have been associated with increased feelings of belonging and improved quality of life (Arnett, 2000; Blatt & Luyten, 2009; Montgomery, 2005; Schwartz, Côté, & Artnett, 2005). Few studies have examined how identity formation occurs in emerging adults with disability. According to the World Health Organization (2011), approximately 15% of people worldwide experience some sort of disability, including a disabling impairment or activity limitation. Most research has suggested that emerging adults with disabilities experience a delay in achieving markers Open Data and Open Materials badges earned for transparent research practices. Data may be accessed from the Journal of Open Psychology Data at https://doi.org/10.5334/jopd.38. Materials are available at https://osf.io/te54b/. ABSTRACT. Emerging adulthood is a developmental period during which adults begin making choices regarding love, work, and partnerships. This experience may be different for those with a disability, depending on how they self-identify. The present study was the first to examine differences in belonging and the importance of marriage in those who self-identify as disabled, those who have a disabling impairment but do not self-identify, and those who do not have a disability. This study examined participants’ general sense of belonging, as well as their need to belong, which refers to the feeling that belonging is important. Emerging adults across 32 institutions between the ages of 18 and 29 (N = 2,016) completed the Emerging Adults Measured at Multiple Institutions 2 survey including measures of disability identity, sense of belonging, need to belong and the importance of marriage. Results indicate that emerging adults who self-identify as disabled report a lower sense of belonging and a higher need to belong than those without a disability. Additionally, emerging adults with a disabling impairment valued marriage less than those without a disability. These results suggest that disability identity is related to differing levels of confidence in marital relationships, sense of belonging, and need to belong. These findings could be considered by clinicians who work with emerging adults with disabling impairments, who may feel limited in these areas.
Description of the Open Anterograde Anatomic Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy Technique

Background: This study aimed to reproduce the anterograde technique used in minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy through an open retropubic approach without increasing procedural complexity or cost. The main surgical steps of this technique follow the recommendations of the 2012 Pasadena Consensus Panel for Robotic Surgery modified by the authors to adapt to open retropubic approach. Methods: Ten consecutive eligible men with localized prostate cancer underwent open anterograde anatomic radical retropubic prostatectomy with urethrovesical anastomosis by running suture, consistent with the Pasadena consensus procedure for robotic radical prostatectomy. Results: All procedures were completed as planned (mean procedure duration, 145.5 min; hospital stay, 3.4 days with 3 days of suction drainage; duration of indwelling vesical catheterization, 8 days). At the 1-year follow-up, all patients achieved oncological control. Eight patients (80%) achieved urinary continence within 90 days; five (50%) were continent immediately after indwelling catheter removal. Four minor complications occurred (Clavien-Dindo grade I and IIIa). Conclusion: Open anterograde anatomic radical retropubic prostatectomy allowed the accomplishment of the same technique used in the minimally invasive surgery through the open approach. However, it is necessary to confirm these results through a study with an adequate number of patients comparing with the gold standard technique.
Ground sloth vertebrae identification through multivariate analysis

ABSTRACT Extinct sloths (Xenarthra, Folivora) are morphologically diverse, despite some similarities among some Pleistocene genera. Cranial and diagnostic postcranial elements (especially limb bones) are taxonomically informative but the axial postcranial skeleton can prove difficult to classify, as in cases with only vertebral remains or when closely related taxa are found together. Here, 24 linear and angular measurements of presacral axial skeletons from eight genera of Pleistocene ground sloths were analysed through multivariate methods for assigning their vertebrae to a genus and to a position along the vertebral column. Both isolated vertebrae and vertebrae associated with partial and complete skeletons of each genus were included. Principal components and linear discriminant analyses show a high percentage (over 90%) of correct taxonomic reclassification. For the position of vertebrae, the accuracy increased significantly when cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions were separately considered instead of the whole column, misclassifying the position of the vertebrae only by a few positions in most cases. Our database is useful for confidently assigning isolated vertebrae of extinct sloths to a specific genus and position, showing that beyond the apparent homogeneity in the axial postcranial skeleton of ground sloths, quantitative studies allow the evaluation of diversity and variation between groups.
Validation of Buffalo PAG Antisera for Early Pregnancy Diagnosis in Bovine

This study was designed ability using antibody against buffalo PAG to detect concentration of pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) in bovine plasma samples. Successful purification of buffalo PAG molecules with high enrichment degree by using Vicia villosa aûnity chromatography was recently reported. In this research, the RIA system using novel anti buffalo-PAG was used for bovine pregnancy diagnosis. In a total 437 blood sampling of dairy cow in Belgium were used. Three PAG-RIA systems were undertaken to measure PAG concentration in bovine routine blood samples: AS#497 (or RIA-1) using rabbit antisera against purified bovine PAG67kDa, AS#706 (or RIA-2) using rabbit antisera against caprine PAG55+62kDa and new AS#859 (or RIA-3) using rabbit antisera against buffalo PAG59.5-75.8kDa). The measured PAG concentrations were similar for the systems As#497 and As#859; although the dilution was shown parallel, the measured PAG concentrations were significantly different between systems As#706 and As#859. On the other hand, the coefficients of correlations between concentrations obtained by the use of As#859 and As#497 were highly comparable to those between As#859 and As#706 or As#497 and As#706. In conclusion, the present study clearly shows that antisera against buffalo PAG can be used to develop new PAG-RIA system for bovine pregnancy diagnosis with high comparable results.
Teachers’ role and learners’ responsibility in teaching and learning science and elementary technology in Rwanda

The aim of the present study is to reveal teachers’ role in teaching and learners’ responsibility in learning Science and Elementary Technology in Rwanda. The source of information is the classroom observation (Upper Primary) from 6 schools purposively selected in Kayonza District. The Flanders Interaction Analysis Categories System analysis research tools revealed that: The instructors’ role in the learning was found, information giver. Teachers had low facilitation to learning and were deciding alone on the content to be taught; concerning the learners’ responsibility and their encouragement for learning, it was found that the results are far from the expectations related to a learner-centred situation: low pupils’ participation, lacking initiatives from pupils and teachers not motivating/encouraging them. The learners were found passive in the classroom interaction, and only responding to teachers’ questions. From the above findings, we affirm that the “teacher-centred approach” dominates in the science classrooms in Rwanda.
Characterization Studies of Natural Cellulosic Fibers Extracted from Shwetark Stem

ABSTRACT The present investigation is mainly aimed to characterize the cellulosic fibers extracted from the stem of Shwetark plant to test its possibility to be used as polymeric reinforcement. Chemical analysis conducted on the Shwetark fibers shows the presence of cellulose (69.65 wt. %), lignin (16.82 wt. %), wax (0.53 wt. %), ash (3.4 wt. %) and wetness content (8.8 wt. %). The density of the fibers is found as 1.364 g/cm3. Crystallinity index and the crystallite size of the fibers are calculated as 72.06% and 3nm, respectively, from X-ray diffraction analysis while the presence of functional groups is ascertained from Fourier transform infrared analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the fibers are thermally stable till 225°C, and the fiber morphology seen through scanning electron microscopic shows that the fibers are composed of densely and uniformly packed cellulose microfibrils. Atomic force microscopic studies exemplify that Shwetark fibers can be used for tribological applications. The mean tensile strength and percentage elongation of the Shwetark fibers are found as 309.68 MPa and 1.092%, respectively. Thus, the studies show the possibility of Shwetark fibers as prospective candidates to replace harmful synthetic man-made fibers.
Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Electrical Energy Systems With SystemC-AMS

Modern cyber-physical electrical energy systems (CPEES) are characterized by wider adoption of sustainable energy sources and by an increased attention to optimization, with the goal of reducing pollution and wastes. This imposes a need for instruments supporting the design flow, to simulate and validate the behavior of system components and to apply additional optimization and exploration steps. Additionally, each system might be tested with a number of management policies, to evaluate their economic impact. It is thus evident that simulation is a key ingredient in the design flow of CPEES. This paper proposes a framework for CPEES modeling and simulation, that relies on the open-source standard SystemC-AMS. The paper formalizes the information and energy flow in a generic CPEES, by focusing on both AC and DC components, and by including support for mechanical and physical models that represent multiple energy sources and loads. Experimental results, applied to a complex CPEES case study, will prove the effectiveness of the proposed solution, in terms of accuracy, speed up w.r. t. the current state-of-the-art Matlab/Simulink, and support for the design flow.
Satire and Absurdity in Edward Albee’s the American Dream

This research is intended to elaborate and analyze satire and absurdity in Edward Albee’s The American Dream. This research is also intended to relate the satires and absurdity to the reality of life in America in the late of 1950’s. This research is conducted through a method of library research by analyzing the play and relating to other supporting references. This research is conducted in the frame of literary studies by applying the mimetic approach. The result of the research shows that the play contains satires and absurdity. The satires are directed to American progress, artificial value, alienation, and women’s domination. The absurdity in the play is found in the conventions of pure theater, clowning, fooling, and mad-scene, verbal nonsense, and allegorical element. Both satire and absurdity in the play portray the reality of life in America during the Cold War period.
