Enhancement of aqueous solubility and extraction of lauric acid using hydrotropes and its interaction studies by COSMO-RS model

Abstract In this study, COnductor like Screening MOdel for Real Solvents was used to analyze the ability of hydrogen bond donor, hydrogen bond acceptor and electron affinity of all the studied species such as water, lauric acid (LA), sodium benzoate (SB), sodium salicylate (SS), nicotinamide (NI), and urea (UA). Further, the different hydrotropes solutions were prepared with different concentrations (0–3.0 mol/L) in order to analyze the solubility of lauric acid at different temperatures (303–313 K). Subsequently, hydrotropes based extraction of lauric acid from cold press coconut oil (CPCO) and commercial-grade edible coconut oil (CGECO) was conducted at 313 K and 0.1 MPa. GC–MS analysis has been carried out on cold press coconut oil, commercial grade edible coconut oil and hydrotropically extracted samples to characterize the different fatty acid compounds present in it. It was observed that the sodium benzoate hydrotrope solution extracted samples has lauric acid as a significant component in the GC-MS spectra when compared to the extracted samples of sodium salicylate hydrotrope solution.

Study on the Identification and the Extent of Decay of the Wooden Components in the Xichuan Guild Hall Ancient Architectures

ABSTRACT In the present study, the microscopic structures of the wooden components in the Xichuan Guild Hall were observed through the bright-field microscope to identify the tree species. The extent of decay of these wooden components was observed using polarized light and fluorescence microscopes, respectively. The results are as follows: (1) Sample Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 belonged to hemor woods (Schima spp.), and sample Nos. 3 and 6 belonged to red oak woods (Quercus rubra). (2) Almost no brightness of crystalline cellulose birefringence (BCCB) was found in S layers of wood fibres of the fungal-decayed hemor woods, indicating an obvious decomposition of the celluloses in S layers. The brightness of fluorescence (BF) of all cell walls was also lower, indicating that lignin in cell walls was seriously decomposed by the decay fungi. (3) Almost no BCCB was found in vessels and S layers of wood fibres of the fungal-decayed red oak woods, indicating that celluloses were seriously decomposed. The BF of cell walls of vessels and CML layer of wood fibres was evident, indicating that lignin was abundant in cell walls of vessels and CML layer of wood fibres.

Growth characteristics of three Sphagnum species in restored extracted peatland

Peatlands are essential ecosystems in global carbon cycle. However, they have been drained for economic benefits for centuries; large peatland areas have turned from carbon storage ecosystems to the carbon emitters. Because of the slow spontaneous revegetation of abandoned extracted peatlands, there is urgent need for their active restoration, required also for mitigation of global climate change effects. The selection of Sphagnum species suitable for restoration may also have crucial effects to reach the restoration aims. In 2012, we began a restoration experiment in abandoned extracted peatland in central Estonia. We aimed to elucidate whether Sphagnum species, specific to natural North European bogs, have different growth characteristics under altered growth conditions in restored extracted peatland. We studied growth characteristics of S. fuscum, S. medium, and S. rubellum at restoration sites with two different water table levels and in two natural bogs. We estimated total cover of Sphagnum carpet and cover of three target species and measured shoot growth characteristics at each site. Linear models with correlated errors were used for temporal trends studies. Our results showed that studied Sphagnum species have different growth characteristics in restoration sites and that the main growth promoter is the water table depth (WTD). Results showed that greater Sphagnum cover (over 70%) can be achieved in wetter conditions with WTD higher than circa 20 cm. On wetter restoration sites S. medium and S. fuscum could be recommended for restoration, whereas S. fuscum perform well also in drier sites.
Development of Interactive Multimedia Learning Courseware to Strengthen Students’ Character

The development of information technology rapidly has an impact on the changing paradigm of education. On the other hand, education holds an important responsibility to create students who have a good and strong character. This research aims to: 1) describe the concept and framework of interactive multimedia courseware; 2) test the feasibility of interactive multimedia courseware by experts and practitioners; 3) test student responses to the use of interactive multimedia courseware. This research and development involved experts, teachers, and students. The data were collected using expert validation sheets, teacher questionnaires, and student questionnaires. They were then analyzed using the descriptive statistics analysis based on mean and percentage. This research yielded interactive multimedia courseware called IMONEC (Interactive Multimedia courseware integrated with Bandura’s Observational learning model and National historical Event to strengthen students' Character) that integrates three important components: the principles of interactive multimedia learning; Bandura's observational learning model; and the noble values and messages of national historical events to strengthen students' characters. The framework of the interactive multimedia courseware consists of the title, user instruction, home, core competency and basic competency, concept map of material, learning material, and quizzes. The results of the expert validation, teacher questionnaire, and student questionnaire showed that the interactive multimedia courseware is feasible for use in learning and effective in strengthening students’ characters.
Transformation of Local People’s Property Rights Induced by New Town Development (Case Studies in Peri-Urban Areas in Indonesia)

New town development as a form of large-scale development is not a new phenomenon, particularly in developing countries. This development mainly takes place in peri-urban areas due to the high pressure caused by the growing population and the lack of facilities and infrastructure in city centres. As an effect, local communities who originally occupied the land often lose their rights over the property their livelihood might have relied on. Property rights can be grouped differently, classified according to different bundles: appropriation, ownership, and formality of rights. This paper investigates to what extent new town development in Indonesia has affected the property rights of local communities, in terms of the transformation of rights and security level. Moreover, it examines to what extent this transformation has been affected by urbanisation pressure. Ample attention is paid to the transformation of various bundles of rights concerning different usage of property, both residential and cultivated land. A total of 252 questionnaires were distributed to three different locations of new towns in Indonesia. A before-after analysis was employed to identify the transformation of the property rights and their security level, followed by multiple linear regression analysis to observe the influence of the urbanisation pressure to the security level. The research reveals that the transformation of property rights of local residents mainly concerns the appropriation rights. The analysis also indicates that there is a tendency that the security level decreases. Statistically, this appears to be affected by urbanisation pressure variables: type of land, land use, and occupation. With this study, we offer on the one hand a conceptual framework for assessing property rights, while on the other hand, we provide empirical evidence regarding the effects of new town development on property rights transformation and its security level.
Dynamics of Time Varying Volatility in Stock Returns: Evidence from Nepal Stock Exchange

Article History Received 04 April 2020 Reviewed 12 May 2020 Revised 20 May 2020 Accepted 24 May 2020 Abstract This study examines the properties of time varying volatility of daily stock returns in Nepal over the period 2011-2020 using 2059 observations on daily returns of NEPSE index series. The study examines various symmetric and asymmetric GARCH family models using several specifications of error distribution. The results of symmetric GARCH (1,1) and GARCH-M (1, 1) models indicate that there is volatility persistence in daily returns on composite NEPSE index series over the sampled period. However, the estimated results for GARCH-M (1, 1) models show that the stock returns in Nepal offer no significant risk premium to hedge against risk associated with investment in stocks. The study also demonstrates that asymmetric TGARCH (1, 1) and EGARCH (1, 1) models fail to capture the leverage effects on the volatility. Finally, study results show that GARCH (1, 1) with student’s t error distribution model is the best fitted one to capture the volatility persistence of daily returns on NEPSE index series over the sampled period. The findings from this study offers an additional insight in understanding the volatility pattern of daily stock returns in Nepal for the most recent period that helps investors in forming a sound strategy to address the risk pattern of investing in stock market of Nepal.
A Single-Electron Injection Device for CMOS Charge Qubits Implemented in 22-nm FD-SOI

This letter presents a single-electron injection device for position-based charge qubit structures implemented in 22-nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator CMOS. Quantum dots are implemented in local well areas separated by tunnel barriers controlled by gate terminals overlapping with a thin 5-nm undoped silicon film. Interface of the quantum structure with classical electronic circuitry is provided with single-electron transistors that feature doped wells on the classic side. A small $0.7\times 0.4\,\,\mu \text{m}^{2}$ elementary quantum core is co-located with control circuitry inside the quantum operation cell which is operating at 3.5 K and a 2-GHz clock frequency. With this apparatus, we demonstrate a single-electron injection into a quantum dot.
Evaluation of the Interactive Effect Pretreatment Parameters via Three Types of Microwave-Assisted Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis on Sugar Yield

This study aims to evaluate the sugar yield from enzymatic hydrolysis and the interactive effect pretreatment parameters of microwave-assisted pretreatment on glucose and xylose. Three types of microwave-assisted pretreatments of sago palm bark (SPB) were conducted for enzymatic hydrolysis, namely: microwave-sulphuric acid pretreatment (MSA), microwave-sodium hydroxide pretreatment (MSH), and microwave-sodium bicarbonate (MSB). The experimental design was done using a response surface methodology (RSM) and Box–Behenken Design (BBD). The pretreatment parameters ranged from 5–15% solid loading (SL), 5–15 min of exposure time (ET), and 80–800 W of microwave power (MP). The results indicated that the maximum total reducing sugar was 386 mg/g, obtained by MSA pretreatment. The results also illustrated that the higher glucose yield, 44.3 mg/g, was found using MSH pretreatment, while the higher xylose yield, 43.1 mg/g, resulted from MSA pretreatment. The pretreatment parameters MP, ET, and SL showed different patterns of influence on glucose and xylose yield via enzymatic hydrolysis for MSA, MSH, and MSB pretreatments. The analyses of the interactive effect of the pretreatment parameters MP, ET, and SL on the glucose yield from SPB showed that it increased with the high MP and longer ET, but this was limited by low SL values. However, the analysis of the interactive effect of the pretreatment parameters on xylose yields revealed that MP had the most influence on the xylose yield for MSA, MSH, and MSB pretreatments.
Cardiovascular Risk Factors in South-Eastern Nigeria: A Community Based Survey

Background: Cardiovascular risk factors play a major role in cardiovascular disease burden worldwide. The prevalence is known to be in the increase especially in the developing countries. There is need for timely community based studies in order to keep tab with the current scope. It is against this background that we embarked on this cross-sectional community based study of the prevalence of selected cardiovascular risk factors in semi-urban community in Abakaliki Southeastern part of Nigeria in October 2016. Method: The consecutive consenting persons of 18 years and above were screened for selected cardiovascular risk factors in October 2016. Results: A total of 1074 adults were seen (males-567, females-507) with age range of 18 - 80 years and mean age of 35.63 ± 12.45 years. They were predominantly farmers, petty traders and artisans. The identified CVD risk factors were hypertension 285 (26.4%), alcohol abuse 131 (12.1%), obesity 122 (11.3%), diabetes 97 (9%), family history of stroke 87 (8.1%), smoking 74 (6.9%) and previous stroke 29 (2.7%). Conclusion: The cardiovascular risk factors were quite prevalent with male preponderance of alcohol abuse and smoking.
Money and Output in Tanzania: A Test for Causality

This study has investigated empirically the causal relationship between money and output in Tanzania for the period 1986 to 2018. A VECM was estimated in log-difference and in log-level and Granger causality test undertaken by using annual time series data to test a null hypothesis that money does not Granger cause output either way. The log-difference results rejected the null that money Granger cause output in favour of the alternative hypothesis that output Granger cause money and the effect was unidirectional. The results in this case suggest money supply is endogenous such that monetary policy cannot directly be used in stabilizing the economy over the short-run. Instead the government should rely on fiscal policy rather than monetary policy to attain macroeconomic objectives in general and price stability in particular. Robustness test results from estimation the log-level results suggested the causality was unidirectional from money to output, implying money is exogenously determined and could be controlled by the monetary authority to achieve macroeconomic objectives, price stability in particular. The differing results demand for further empirical tests.
Unpacking Changing Multi-Actor and Multi-Level Actor Ties in Transformative Spaces: Insights from a Degraded Landscape, Machubeni, South Africa

The loss of ecosystem services through land degradation continues to be a significant concern for policymakers and land users around the world. Facilitating collective action among various actors is regarded as imperative in halting land degradation. Despite extensive research on collective action, there have been few studies that continuously map social ties and detect network evolution as a way of enabling longitudinal analysis of transformative spaces. This paper seeks to examine the changing dynamics of multi-actor and multi-level actor ties over a period of two years in Machubeni, South Africa. To do this, we used social network analysis to detect continuities and/or discontinuities of multi-actor and multi-level actor ties over time. Overall, edge density, clustering coefficient, and reciprocity scores steadily increased over the two years despite a decline in the number of active organisations within the network. Our results demonstrate that the proportion of strong ties gradually increased over time across three governance networks. However, multi-level linkages between the local municipality and the local organisations remained weak due to a lack of trust and collaborative fatigue. While the transformative space has succeeded in enhancing collaboration and knowledge sharing between local organisations and researchers, further long-term engagement with government agencies might be necessary for promoting institutional transformations and policy outcomes, and building network resilience in complex polycentric governance systems.
A Bayesian Approach for Thermal History Reconstruction in Basin Modeling

We present a novel method for the joint inversion of thermal indicator data (vitrinite reflectance and apatite fission track) and additional data (bottom‐hole temperature and porosity) for thermal history reconstruction in basin modeling. A transdimensional and hierarchical Bayesian formulation is implemented with a reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, with a 1‐D transient thermal model. The objective of the inverse problem is to infer the heat flow history below a borehole given the data and a set of geological constraints (e.g., burial histories and physical properties of the sediments). The algorithm incorporates an adaptive, data‐driven parametrization of the heat flow history, allows for automatic estimation of the relative importance of each data type and quantification of parameter uncertainties and trade‐offs. Our approach deals with uncertainties on the imposed geological constraints in two ways. First, the amount of erosion and timing of an erosional event are treated as independent parameters. Second, uncertainties on compaction parameters and surface temperature history are directly propagated into the final solution. Synthetic tests show that porosity data can be used to reduce uncertainties on the amount of erosion. This work illustrates a truly probabilistic analysis of the trade‐off between the magnitude of erosion and variations in heat flow histories which is key in basin modeling. The algorithm is then applied to real data from a well in the Barents Sea. Our algorithm can reconcile estimates of erosion from the thermal indicator and porosity data, which is a difficult and subjective task in basin modeling.
Domain-specific experience and dual-process thinking

Abstract Prominent dual process models assert that reasoning processes can transition from effortful (Type 2) to intuitive (Type 1) with increases in domain-specific experience. In two studies we directly examine this automation hypothesis. We examine the nature of the relationship between mathematical experience and performance on the cognitive reflection test (CRT; Frederick, 2005). We test performance and response time at different levels of experience and cognitive constraint. Participants are required to complete a secondary task of varying complexity while solving the CRT. In Study 1, we demonstrate changes in thinking Type across real-world differences in mathematical experience. In Study 2, convergent with Study 1, we demonstrate changes in thinking Type across a mathematical training paradigm. Our findings suggest that for some individuals low experience is associated with Type 1 processing, intermediate experience is associated with Type 2 processing, and high experience is associated with Type 1 processing. Whereas, for other individuals low experience is associated with ineffective Type 2 processing, intermediate experience is associated with effective Type 2 processing, and high experience is associated with Type 1 processing.
Passive single-station techniques applied for dynamic characterization of reinforced concrete buildings

This work aims to better understand and improve the dynamic characterization of concrete frame buildings through the combined use of finite element modeling and applied seismology. The behavior of the FEM model is compared with values obtained directly in situ through non-invasive tests based on a sensor capable of detecting the seismic microtremor and provide direct information in terms of oscillation periods and displacements. The case study structure was measured using a seismometer, and, at the same time, modeled using SAP2000. By starting from extremely different initial data, multiple variations were made to the model to produce an increase in frequency, aligning it with the one detected instrumentally.
