Enhanced electrochemical performance of lanthanum ferrite decorated reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite electrodes prepared by in situ microwave irradiation for energy storage applications

Lanthanum ferrite decorated reduced graphene oxide (LaFeO3/rGO) nanocomposite is prepared by in‐situ microwave irradiation method. The X‐ray diffraction study reveals the single phase orthorhombic structure of LaFeO3 nanoparticles and LaFeO3/rGO nanocomposites. The FTIR study reveals various vibrational modes and the characteristic D and G bands of the Raman spectrum confirms the formation of reduced graphene oxide. The SEM and HR‐TEM images demonstrate that spherical LaFeO3 particles are decorated on 2D graphene sheets. From the HR‐TEM study, the average particle size of LaFeO3 is estimated to be 23 nm. The synergistic effect of 3D LaFeO3 nanoparticles and 2D graphene layers offers more active sites to achieve the enhanced electrochemical performance. The specific capacitance of LaFeO3/rGO composites is measured to be 170 Fg−1 at 10 mV s−1. The composite electrode has admirable cyclic stability, better Columbic efficiency and improved capacitance retention with great potential for supercapacitor applications.
Contingent nationalism: The genesis of ultras’ nationalist discourse

This article presents the results of a study on the historical development of nationalist discourse in Polish football stands. Its main objectives are: (a) to reveal the processes shaping the ultras’ nationalist discourse; and (b) to explain how it has been institutionalised and reproduced. Drawing on the post-foundational discourse analysis, the study conceptualises nationalist discourse as a set of structurally arranged practices of articulation which create a meaning of nation. In order to reconstruct the development of ultras’ nationalist discourse the study uses content analysis of nation-related ultras’ displays from 2002 to 2018 recaptured from the TMK (To My Kibice, We, the fans) fanzine created by supporters and dedicated to football fan culture in Poland. The analysis identifies a sequence of four different forms of ultras’ nationalist discourse in the period under consideration and shows that they have been shaped by a contingency logic; that is, by rules stemming from the existing practices of articulation, rather than by the logic of ideological cohesion.
Factors influencing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) implementation success: Evidence from Ethiopia

Drawing on Institutional and Economic Network Theories, this study investigated factors influencing International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) implementation success in Ethiopian business organizations identified as Public Interest Companies by the government which were expected to adopt IFRS for the year ending June 30, 2018. The study adopted explanatory method to answer the research questions and test hypotheses stated. Data were collected from 123 respondents in 22 first time IFRS adopting business organizations using questionnaires. The findings of the study revealed that economic factors, project governance factors and cultural factors were found to influence project success at 5% level of significance whereas influence of institutional pressures was accepted at 10% level of significance (sig=0.055, closer to 5% of course). Contrary to the literature, economic factors were not positively correlated to IFRS project success as the firms were predominantly operating locally and due to IFRS implementation costs. Project governance factors were found to contribute significantly for IFRS project success in the firms studied. This was in line with the project management literature that proper project governance will turn even a highly risky project into a success. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference in the IFRS project implementation success of private and public firms. Future research shall consider additional variables that influence IFRS project success and other firms that implemented IFRS in the next years as well as regional level public enterprises. Key words: International financial reporting standards (IFRS), regulatory body, public interest company, project governance, project success.
Chloro­bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)zinc(II) nitrate monohydrate

In the title compound, [ZnCl(C12H8N2)2]NO3·H2O, the ZnII atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two different 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and by one Cl− ion in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination. In the crystal structure, the constituent mol­ecules inter­act by way of π–π inter­actions between the 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and by O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
Systematic Effects of Coal Rank and Type on the Kinetics of Coal Pyrolysis

In this work, the global pyrolysis kinetics of a broad range of coals was studied by means of thermogravimetric experiments (heating rate = 25 °C/min). An Arrhenius-based deconvolution model was applied to the experimental DTG curves in order to obtain reliable kinetic parameters for the different DTG peaks. The model assumes that the weight loss rate ascribed to volatile release during primary and secondary pyrolysis is a result of the parallel occurrence of three pseudo-unimolecular nth-order reactions (peaks 1, 2, and 3). The kinetic results were expressed as a function of coal rank (0.43 ≤ R r ≤ 1.14%) and maceral composition in order to obtain reliable kinetic trends. By error minimization, an average apparent reaction order of 1.67 was found. The mass fractions corresponding to peaks 1, 2, and 3 were found to follow definite trends with rank and maceral composition. The temperature of maximum reactivity for peak 1 was almost coincident with that of the maximum overall reactivity and followed clear trends with coal rank and type. The activation energies of peaks 2 and 3 were found to be independent of coal type and clearly related to coal rank. The kinetic parameters (activation energy and preexponential factor) of the three peaks exhibited clear isokinetic effects. It is thought that the deviations of the obtained activation energies from those calculated by the isokinetic effect trends are a consequence of a narrow distribution of activation energies within each peak.

Investigating Flexibilities of the Classroom Teachers for Four Operations in the Basis of Different Strategies

Four operations algorithm is among the major topics occupying a significant position in primary school schedule. Moreover, utilizing alternative strategies during the education process and improving operation flexibility of students also considered important in teaching of mathematics. Flexibility in computing is the ability of solving any operation also by using various cognitive or model based calculation strategies with different methods. Giving place for these strategies in education process for improvement of skills of using different strategies and guiding students enabling them to develop their own strategies is important. In this study, in addition to the teaching the standard algorithm covering a massive place in our courses it is aimed to review classroom teachers’ opinions for alternative strategies of four operation that means their flexibility in the procedural process (procedural flexibility). Procedural flexibility is discussed through strategies and standard algorithms using preliminary learning such as modeling, mental processing and place value concept. It is a qualitative study conducted in 2018-2019 academic year with 45 classroom teachers. In the study, a 2-question open-ended question form based on multiplication and consisting of two different scenarios was used as data collection tool. The most favorite strategy preferred by teachers according to findings obtained from this form is standard algorithm followed by mental process strategy. However, teachers showed no flexibility in the process, they did not prefer other alternative strategies given about multiplication and they reported negative opinions about some of them .
Bent-core 6-thioxoverdazyl: a comparison of mesogenic properties with the 6-oxo analogue

Two bent-core verdazyl radicals, 2[16] and 3[16], containing 6-thioxo and 6-oxo groups, respectively, were prepared and their physical properties were compared. Analysis of binary mixtures with bent-core mesogen 1[12] gave virtual N-I ([TNI]) and N-Ire ([TNIre]) transition temperatures. Results indicate that the thioxo derivative 2[16] has greater stabilising effect on the nematic phase than the 6-oxo analogue 3[16], presumably due to the higher dipole moment of the core (1.90 D vrs 0.83 D) despite the less favourable conformational properties.
Predictors of Urinary Tract Infections in Children and Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern in the Buea Health District, South West Region, Cameroon

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common pediatric infections and if not promptly diagnosed and treated, it could cause long term complications. Worldwide and in Cameroon, little attention has been paid to this growing problem in the pediatric population. Identification of risk factors will contribute significantly to prevention. A cross-sectional case-control study was carried out in children ≤ 15 years to identify the risk factors of UTI, etiologic agents, and their antibiotic susceptibility. Samples (urine) were collected from in and outpatients with symptoms of UTI attending two health facilities in Buea. Controls were age- and sex-matched children in the community and those visiting these health facilities for unrelated reasons. Samples were analyzed by microscopy, culture, and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolates tested by the disc diffusion technique. Questionnaires were administered to collect sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and data on risk factors. Odds ratios and bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the relationship between predictors (symptoms and risk factors) and UTI. P < 0.05 was considered significant. A total of 405 participants (200 cases and 205 controls) were investigated. UTI prevalence was 12% in cases. From the UTI cases, bacteria was the major cause of infection, with E. coli (39.4%) predominating. Parasitic organisms, Trichomonas vaginalis (0.5%) and Schistosoma spp (0.5%), and yeast (6%) were also detected. Urinary urgency (F = 4.98, P = 0.027) and back pain (F = 12.37, P = 0.001) were associated to UTI following bivariate analysis. These parameters could be used to predict UTI in the pediatric population in the study area. Third generation cephalosporins: ceftriaxone (90.1%) and cefadroxil (85.4%) were the most effective and thus recommended for treatment.

Evaluation of a horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed process for triclosan removal and antibacterial activity reduction

BACKGROUND: Triclosan is a biocide used in personal care products, and its presence in water bodies has been reported. This compound is suspected to be linked with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In the present work, the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to catalyze triclosan removal. RESULTS: The stoichiometric ratio of H2O2 to triclosan (0.83) was higher than the value predicted by the HRP catalytic cycle (0.5). During the reactions, HRP activity was gradually reduced, likely due to excess H2O2. The addition of veratryl alcohol, syringaldazine and p-coumaric acid (redox mediators) to the reaction medium, at a mediator/triclosan molar ratio of 1.0, increased triclosan removal from 45% (without a mediator) to 56%, 64% and 80%, respectively. The antibacterial activity of these mediators was much lower than that observed for triclosan. CONCLUSION: The antibacterial activity of triclosan solution was effectively reduced after enzymatic treatment. Moreover, the enzymatic process was proven to be technically feasible for removing triclosan at an environmental relevant concentration. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry
Effect of feeding total mixed ration blocks on productive performance of crossbred dairy cattle

© Abstract: A feeding trial of four weeks was conducted using forty crossbred dairy cattle reared under intensive system. The animals were divided into 2 groups, based on milk yield, parity and stage of lactation and fed either a commercially available total mixed ration (TMR) blocks or conventionally available compounded cattle feed (in form of pellet) and green grass separately at different times of the day. The results indicated that the total daily milk yield was significantly lower (p<0.01) in the group fed TMR blocks when compared to the group fed conventionally. Feeding TMR blocks or conventional feeding with compounded cattle feed did not have any significant effect on the milk composition viz fat, solids not fat (SNF), lactose and protein content. The results suggested that feeding TMR blocks showed negative impact on milk production when compared to conventional feeding system with compounded cattle

Large mammalian herbivores contribute to conspecific negative density dependence in a temperate forest

The Janzen–Connell Hypothesis (JCH) predicts that density‐responsive and host‐specific natural enemies limit the population sizes of abundant species. Importantly, these interactions help to maintain local community diversity through time. While ample evidence exists for the demographic predictions of the JCH, it remains unclear which natural enemies drive these dynamics across different plant communities. While large mammalian herbivores are often assumed to lack the specialized diet needed to drive Janzen–Connell effects, they do show a degree of host‐preference that could drive density‐dependent plant demography. However, the potential role of large mammalian herbivores in Janzen–Connell interactions has only rarely been investigated. Using 204 seedling transects (1 m × 10 m) at 51 sites across a 900‐ha forested reserve in southwestern Pennsylvania (USA), we examined the role that large mammals play in driving conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD) in temperate tree seedlings. Individual fences were erected around half of the transects (n = 102) to exclude large mammals, and were paired with adjacent unfenced transects. Within transects, a total of ~15,000 individual seedlings were monitored over three growing seasons. Demographic neighbourhood models were constructed to examine the influence of neighbourhood composition and density on seedling survival and growth. An interaction term between conspecific neighbour density and fencing treatment was included to test the hypothesis that large herbivores cause CNDD. We found that seedling survival was influenced by both conspecific neighbour density and fencing. CNDD was strongest when large mammals were allowed access to seedlings, and these results were driven by two abundant taxa (Prunus serotina and Fraxinus spp). Despite evidence that large mammals mediate CNDD, we found no effect of fencing on rarified species richness or evenness in seedling transects during the study. Synthesis. Understanding the specific natural enemies driving conspecific negative density dependence remains vital for understanding the maintenance of forest diversity across the globe. Our results indicate that large mammalian herbivores are capable of driving CNDD in temperate tree species. These results suggest that large mammals may be an important and generally overlooked agent contributing to Janzen–Connell interactions in forest communities. We expect that further research examining large mammals in other systems will be important in the future.
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris Strain Variability in the Inactivation Kinetics of Spores in Orange Juice by Temperature-Assisted High Hydrostatic Pressure

In this work, the inactivation kinetics of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores by temperature-assisted high hydrostatic pressure was assessed by means of the Weibull model. Spores from two A. acidoterrestris strains (a wild-type strain and a reference strain) were inoculated in commercial orange juice and subjected to high pressure levels (500 and 600 MPa) combined with four temperature regimes (25, 45, 60 and 70 ◦C) for time up to 30 min. Results showed that for a given high-pressure level spore inactivation was higher as temperature progressively increased. Furthermore, the Weibull model consistently produced satisfactory fit to the inactivation data based on the values of the root mean squared error (RMSE < 0.54 log colony-forming units (CFU)/mL) and the coefficient of determination (R2 > 0.90 in most cases). The shape of inactivation curves was concave upward (p < 1) for all temperature/high pressure levels tested, indicating rapid inactivation of the sensitive cells of the bacterium whereas the remaining ones adapted to high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment. The values of the shape (p) and scale (δ) parameters of the Weibull model were dependent on the applied temperature for a given high pressure level and they were further described in a secondary model using first-order fitting curves to provide predictions of the surviving spore population at 55 and 65 ◦C. Results revealed a systematic over-prediction for the wild-type strain regardless of temperature and high pressure applied, whereas for the reference strain under-prediction was evident after 3 log-cycles reduction of the surviving bacteria spores. Overall, the results obtained indicate that the effectiveness of high hydrostatic pressure against A. acidoterrestris spores is strain-dependent and also underline the need for temperature-assisted HPP for effective spore inactivation during orange juice processing.
