The effect of wort aeration on fermentation, maturation and volatile components of beer produced on an industrial scale

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the initial beer wort aeration on the process of fermentation, maturation, content of the volatile components of beer and abundance and vitality of yeast biomass. The experiments were performed on an industrial scale, with fermentation and maturation performed in fermentation tanks with a capacity of 3800 hL. The wort was aerated with sterile air in quantities as follows: 7, 10 and 12 mg/L. During fermentation and maturation, the changes in the content of the extract, yeast growth and vitality and more importantly volatile components were investigated. The experiments showed that differentiated aeration has a significant impact on the course of fermentation and metabolic changes. With the increase in wort aeration, the content of acetaldehyde decreased and the concentration of higher alcohols increased. On the other hand, the contents of esters and vicinal diketones did not change. The level of aeration did not affect the final quality of beer. Copyright © 2017 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling
Investigation of student’s obstruction on mathematical communication and the solution through self-correction

There are numerous students who experienced difficulties in communicating spatial geometry concept in solving the problems. The ideas in explaining spatial geometry problems solving is not communicatively expressed. This study aims to investigate the obstruction of the students in communicating spatial geometry concept and find the solutions. According to the epistemological barrier, the obstruction of the mathematical communication in the student may be caused by errors experience in applying concepts, inaccuracies in completing settlement strategies, and errors in interpreting results to draw conclusions. To overcome the problems in mathematical communication, some solutions can be generated by buildup self-correction in planning, processing and concluding of the solving problems activities. Subjects with high mathematical communication obstruction can be overcome by training the ability to (1) express ideas completely, (2) draw conclusions based on similar patterns by comparing, and (3) increase accuracy in carrying out calculations through understanding the application of concepts to solve the problem. Whereas subjects with low Mathematical Communication barriers can be overcome by getting used to focusing more on the relationship between concepts in implementing the solution strategy.
Experimental Investigation and Parametric Optimization of FSW for the 2024-O Aluminum Alloy Joints

The effect of welding parameters on mechanical properties of aluminum alloy AA 2024-O Friction stir-welded (FSW) joints was investigated in the present study. Taguchi method was used to evaluate the optimum value of process parameters from tensile tests using nine experiments designed according to the matrix proposed by the scientist Taguchi for the design of experiments (L9) using two parameters (welding speed and rotation speed). Two different process parameters have been selected: rotational speeds of 1300,1500 and 1700 rpm and feed speeds of 20,40 and 60 mm/min. The design of experiments (DOE) is performed by L9 (3Λ2) orthogonal array (9 experiments, two variables, three levels). Also, the signal–to–noise (S/N) ratio larger is better has been performed for analyzing the results σu for FSW &FSP) by the statistical software (MINITABTM ® 16). The best results of the weld gained at the parameter 40 mm/min travel speed and 1300 rpm rotation speed. The efficiency obtained was 95% respect to the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the base metal. In addition, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques has also been performed by the statistical software (DOE Pro XL) to identify the essential factors that are affecting the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) for FSW.
Real Credit Cycles

We incorporate diagnostic expectations, a psychologically founded model of overreaction to news, into a workhorse business cycle model with heterogeneous firms and risky debt. A realistic degree of diagnosticity, estimated from the forecast errors of managers of US listed firms, creates financial fragility during good times. This mechanism produces countercyclical credit spreads and yields two key features of observed credit cycles. First, it generates boom-bust dynamics at the firm and aggregate levels: cheap credit predicts future increases in spreads, low bond returns, and investment drops. Second, it produces the spike in spreads observed in 2008-9 from modest negative TFP shocks. Diagnostic expectations offer a parsimonious mechanism generating realistic financial reversals in conventional business cycle models.
The contribution of all-women tours to well-being in middle-aged Muslim women

Abstract For different reasons, some women experience all-women tours in different parts of the world. Certain aspects of all-women tours, such as their mental benefits, are studied in Western and Eastern countries. However, there is a dearth of study on all-women travels in Muslim-majority countries, despite the importance of women’s issues in such societies. By observing and interviewing eleven middle-aged women who participated in a 1-day, all-women, tour in Iran, we found that being away from family responsibilities, routine life, and gender-related restrictions, as well as advancement in their social and personal selves, contributed to their well-being. The findings show that the mood of women undergoing later life transitions may benefit from such commonplace tours with their peer group. We also discuss women’s right to travel in the context of travel sustainability.
An examination of the prevalence and characteristics of UK community males who hold a sexual interest in children using the revised interest in child molestation scale

ABSTRACT Research suggests that a significant proportion of community males hold a sexual interest in children. However, sexual interest in children is not synonymous with offending. We explore rates of community male interest in child sexual abuse (CSA) using the Interest in Child Molestation Scale-Revised (ICMS-R). We also examine the ICMS-R’s susceptibility to socially desirable responding and assess how interest in CSA relates to sexual interest in pre-pubescent children. Results indicate that up to 40% of participants reported some interest in CSA. Findings suggest that the ICMS-R does not appear to be influenced by socially desirable responding, and that sexual interest in pre-pubescent children is a significant predictor of ICMS-R scores. In study two, we explore the characteristics associated with a sexual interest in children and behavioral proclivity to offend. Men reporting at least some sexual arousal to ICMS-R scenarios had greater endorsement of beliefs supporting CSA and experienced more fantasies and/or behaviors involving CSA than men reporting no arousal. Participants reporting arousal alongside behavioral proclivity to offend held more CSA supportive beliefs, were more likely to use sex as a coping strategy, and experienced more fantasies and/or behaviors involving CSA than those reporting arousal with no behavioral proclivity to offend.
Design and implementation of a solar integration in electric smart bench

Energy problems that hit the world have implications for savings in all fields, including lighting public spaces. However, lighting conventional public areas is an inappropriate step because the monthly electricity costs required are already very expensive. This paper proposes new solutions for alternative sources of electrical energy in open spaces. We validate this solution by implementing a solar cell in a park bench object. The experimental results show that the proposed solution has the same performance as conventional lighting. Electric park benches can operate longer by using a solar cell with an output power of 26.76 Watt-peak hours. With the enormous potential of solar power, the application of solar cells in an open environment is very suitable. With this electric bench, it is still energy efficient and green energy.
An application of media and network multiplexity theory to the structure and perceptions of information environments in hurricane evacuation

Understanding how information use contributes to uncertainties surrounding evacuation decisions is crucial during disasters. While literature increasingly establishes that people consult multiple information sources in disaster situations, little is known about the patterns in which multiple media and personal network sources are combined simultaneously and sequentially across decision‐making phases. We address this gap using survey data collected from households in Jacksonville, Florida affected by 2016's Hurricane Matthew. Results direct attention to perceived consistency of information as a key predictor of uncertainty regarding hurricane impact and evacuation logistics. Frequently utilizing National Weather Service, national and local TV channels, and personal network contacts contributed to higher perceived consistency of information, while the use of other local and online sources was associated with lower perceived consistency. Furthermore, combining a larger number of media and official sources predicted higher levels of perceived information consistency. One's perception of information amount did not significantly explain uncertainty. This study contributes to the theorizing of individuals' information environment from the perspective of media and network multiplexity and provides practical implications regarding the need of information coordination for improved evacuation decision‐making.
Age-related differences in valence and arousal of emotion concepts

Abstract Emotion concepts are representations that enable people to make sense of their own and others’ emotions. The present study, theoretically driven by the conceptual act theory, explores the overall spectrum of emotion concepts in older adults and compares them with the emotion concepts of younger adults. Data from 178 older adults (⩾55 years) and 176 younger adults (20–30 years) were collected using the Semantic Emotion Space Assessment task. The arousal and valence of 16 discrete emotions – anger, fear, sadness, happiness, disgust, hope, love, hate, contempt, guilt, compassion, shame, gratefulness, envy, disappointment, and jealousy – were rated by the participants on a graphic scale bar. The results show that (a) older and younger adults did not differ in the mean valence ratings of emotion concepts, which indicates that older adults do not differ from younger adults in the way they conceptualise how pleasant or unpleasant emotions are. Furthermore, (b) older men rated emotion concepts as more arousing than younger men, (c) older adults rated sadness, disgust, contempt, guilt, and compassion as more arousing and (d) jealousy as less arousing than younger adults. The results of the present study indicate that age-related differentiation of conceptual knowledge seems to proceed more in the way that individuals understand how arousing their subjective representations of emotions are rather than how pleasant they are.
Pressure-induced structural transition and huge enhancement of superconducting properties of single-crystal Fe0.99Ni0.01Se0.5Te0.5 unconventional superconductor

We report high-pressure structural studies (52 GPa) at room temperature combined with magnetic [(M(T):1GPa] and electrical resistivity [(ρ(T):0-21GPa)] measurements down to 2 K on Fe0.99Ni0. 01Se0.5Te0. 5 superconductor using designer diamond anvils (D-DAC) pressure cell. The M(T) data show huge enhancement of superconducting transition temperature (Tc) from 8.62 to 14.8 K (1 GPa) and ρ(T) reveal maximum enhancement of Tc ~ 30.5 K at 3 GPa (dTc/dP = ~ 7.19 K/GPa) followed by moderate decrease of Tc up to 19 K at 7.5 GPa, and further increasing pressure Tc gets vanished at 10.6 GPa. The reduction of Tc due to the occurrence of structural transition that is likely associated with possible reduction of charge carriers in the density of states in Fermi surface. The high-pressure XRD measurement shows tetragonal phase exists up to 7 GPa, followed by mixed phase which is visible between 7.5 GPa and 14.5 GPa. The structural transformation occurs at 15 GPa from tetragonal (P4/nmm) to NiAs -type hexagonal phase (P63/mmc) and it is stable up to 52 GPa, confirmed from the equation of state (EOS) and it can be correlated with variation of Tc under pressure for Fe0.99Ni0. 01Se0.5Te0. 5 chalcogenide superconductors.
Frontiers in Dentistry

Article type: Original Article Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of over flared endodontically treated bovine central incisors restored with prefabricated and custom-made glass fiber posts, using the multi-post approach. Materials and Methods: Sixty-eight crownless over flared endodontically treated incisors were used for this study. The depth of prepared post space was 10 mm, and the remaining dentin thickness of the roots was 1 mm. The samples were randomly divided into four groups (n=17): Group 1: two prefabricated glass fiber posts; group 2: prefabricated glass fiber post + braided glass fiber; group 3: braided glass fiber; group 4: no post. Static load was applied at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min at 135o angle relative to the root longitudinal axis until fracture. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey’s test at a significance level of P<0.05. Results: Groups 3 and 4 exhibited the maximum (981 N) and minimum (461 N) fracture strength values, respectively. The differences between group 4 and other groups were significant (P<0.001), but the differences between groups 1, 2, and 3 were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: Multiple prefabricated and custom-made glass fiber posts significantly increased the fracture resistance of crownless endodontically treated central incisors with over flared root canals.
FUNCTIONAL BIGNAY CIDERS INHIBIT KEY ENZYMES LINKED TO OBESITY AND DIABETES FOR METABOLIC SYNDROME PROTECTION

Metabolic syndrome has become one of the major health issues worldwide. Cider beverages have several functional properties for health, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic effects. In this study, we formulated cider beverages from bignay fruits (Antidesma bunius), identified their compounds, and evaluated their functional effects for metabolic syndrome protection. Ciders were produced from the aqueous extract of bignay fruit powder, fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Acetobacter xylinum for 3, 7, and 14 days. Compound identification in bignay ciders was done using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Antioxidant activity was done by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assay, while enzymatic inhibitory assays were tested against lipase, α-glucosidase, α-amylase, and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). GC/MS profiling showed that most bignay ciders contained major organic acids and amino acids. All ciders exerted high antioxidant activity (>60%). Bignay ciders fermented from A. xylinum demonstrated significant inhibition (>90%) against lipase and α-glucosidase activities. However, ciders had no functional effect on a-amylase and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition. These data suggest that bignay ciders may have potential as functional beverages with antioxidant, antiobesity, and antidiabetic effects for management of metabolic syndrome.
Teaching Chinese with Chinese characteristics: ‘difficult’ knowledge, discomforting pedagogies and student engagement

ABSTRACT The teaching and learning of Chinese remains a fragile undertaking across all stages of Australian schooling. This paper reports on a practitioner inquiry into pedagogic practices and student engagement with disadvantaged primary school students in a Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) classroom in Sydney, Australia. Drawing upon studies of affect as well as the Fair Go Project’s theoretical framework concerning student engagement, the research explores how ‘difficult’ Chinese knowledge and pedagogies of discomfort disrupt social norms and practices. The engagement of students is conceptualised as an interplay of highly affective, highly cognitive and highly operative learning experiences. In this paper, we argue that ‘discomforting’ emotions evoked by curricular and pedagogic approaches can influence significant change and foster curiosity for CFL education. The paper concludes with a consideration of pedagogic implications for foreign language education and possibilities for future research.
Temperature induced changes in wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and yield under salt affected environment of Indo-Gangetic Plains

ABSTRACT An attempt has been made in the field conditions to evaluate the effect of atmospheric temperature rise on yield, ionic ratio (Na:K), and accumulation of antioxidative pigments in wheat in different growth stages under different soils. Five planting windows (PW) were classified, based on date of wheat sowing where the average temperature difference between a particular PW and PW-I varied from 1.33–4.24°C. Plant leaf area and root length density showed decreasing trend with increasing temperature. A low flag leaf water potential (−1.14 MPa) in sodic soil and high solute potential (−1.34 MPa) in saline-sodic soil was observed under PW-V, where high temperature difference (4.24°C) was recorded. The Na:K ratio was found to be highest in both straw and grain which were 1.802 and 1.126%, respectively, under saline-sodic conditions in PW-V. Proline and malondialdehyde concentration was highest under sodic conditions which varied between 2.82–2.95 mg g−1 fresh weight (FW) and 18.38–30.18 nmol g−1 FW, respectively, under maximum temperature difference. An increase in temperature (>1°C) significantly reduced grain yield (>10%) that was negatively correlated with Na+ (r = −0.78) but positively with K+ (r = +0.62) concentrations under saline-sodic conditions, however under sodic conditions, it was positively correlated with K+ (r = +0.63) concentration. Therefore, looking in to the climate change scenario, shifting planting window of wheat sowing may be helpful in mitigating the negative effects of heat and salt stress on wheat crop.
Projection of Climate Change and Consumptive Demands Projections Impacts on Hydropower Generation in the São Francisco River Basin, Brazil

Climate change impacts may influence hydropower generation, especially with the intensification of extreme events and growing demand. In this study, we analyzed future hydroelectric generation using a set of scenarios considering both climate change and consumptive demands in the São Francisco River Basin. This project will increase consumptive demands for the coming decades. Five models from the recently released Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 and two scenarios, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5, were considered to estimate climate change projections. The affluent natural flows, regulated flows, and the hydroelectric energy generated were estimated for four multi-purpose reservoirs considering all existing and new demands. The conjunction of scenarios indicated a possible significant reduction in water availability, increased consumptive demands, especially for irrigation, and reduced power generation. Only at the Sobradinho hydroelectric plant, the decrease ranged from −30% to −50% for the period 2021 to 2050 compared to the historical period (1901 to 2000). The results can provide insights into future energy generation and water resources management in the basin.
Effects of audit frequency, audit quality, and facility age on environmental compliance

ABSTRACT This study explores the effect of environmental self-audits (‘audits’), which represent an important type of environmental management system practice, on the extent of facilities’ compliance with wastewater discharge limits. Previous studies of environmental audits explore either the presence or frequency of audits only, while ignoring the quality of audits and heterogeneous effects across facility types. Our study contributes to the economic literature by examining the role of audit quality, as measured by the comprehensiveness of the audit protocol, and the influence of facility age on the effectiveness of more frequent auditing. These two features prove important especially in combination. Our study empirically examines the U.S. chemical manufacturing sector using survey and publicly available EPA data. Empirical results reveal that more frequent audits improve the extent of compliance but only for older facilities and only when these facilities conduct high quality audits. In contrast, for newer facilities, more frequent high quality audits fail to improve compliance; worse yet, more frequent low quality audits sadly undermine compliance. Both sets of results are consistent with our hypotheses.
Different infill geometry influence on mechanical properties of FDM produced PLA

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is one of the most widespread additive manufacturing technologies due to its relatively low cost and simplicity. Usually, printed parts have an internal structure (infill) that is not produced with 100% material density. This strategy is adopted to save material and time thanks also to the fact that when a component is loaded, stress are concentrated on its skin rather than in the internal section. Furthermore, infill structure can have different densities and topology. Slicer software have various configurations that can be exploited to produce internal structures: according to All3DP [1], some are intended for functional parts while others are more indicated to prototypes only. Aim of this work, is to compare the effect of different infill topologies produced using Ultimaker CURA [2] slicing software on material mechanical properties. Preliminary experimental activity has been carried out in order to determine the most suitable printing temperature. MaCh3D, an innovative miniaturized universal testing machine [3] was used to perform uniaxial tensile tests. Results underline the difference between different kind of infill in term of mechanical properties, given the same infill density across all specimens. Additionally, in order to evaluate infill percentage effect on mechanical properties, some of the most performing infill from the characterisation activity have been selected and specimens produced with 20%, 50%, 80% infill percentage. In the end, both infill topology as well as density impacts on mechanical properties.
