Identification of some Physical and Mechanical Properties of Maize Grains

The importance of maize for human, livestock and poultry regarding to use as feed or as dry feed industry. Identified physical and mechanical properties of maize grains are important to design the planter/seeder (hopper, metric device, tube), grading grains machines, storage structures and to select members and components of storage equipment. So, this study aimed to determine the maize grain physical and mechanical properties for new varieties, namely hybrid single cross Hi-Tech white and hybrid single cross 168 yellow which use as relative parameters for designing machines and all instruments deal with these new grains. The material of experiments, one hundred of maize grains were chosen at random from two maize varieties hybrid single cross Hi-Tech white and hybrid single cross 168 yellow. The mean MC was found to be 11% (w.b.) for both varieties of maize grains under tests. The results found for maize grains of the hi--Tech and hybrid 168 maize varieties, the mean length, width, thickness, surface area, projected area, kernel volumes, arithmetic diameter, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, and aspect ratio were (10.63-10.02 mm),(10.00-8.29 mm), (5.28-4.81 mm), (211.84-169.07 mm), (83.75-65.36 mm), (291.6-207.96 mm), (8.64-7.71 mm), (8.20-7.32 mm) ,(77.7773.37 %), and (94.77-82.93 %) ,respectively. True density, bulk density, and porosity were (1.42 1.28 g/cm), (0.850 0.775 g/cm), and (39.89 39.12%) for Hi-Tech and Hybrid 168 maize varieties, respectively. Hi-Tech and Hybrid 168 maize varieties had a mean angle of repose of 24.59° and 25.90°, respectively. The mean static coefficients of friction for maize grains (Hi-Tech and Hybrid 168 maize varieties) against four different surfaces (wood, plastic, steel, and glass) were (0.44 0.48), (0.36 0.38), (0.20 0.24) and (0.30 0.34), respectively.
Depression, Anxiety, Quality of Life, and Coping Strategies in People Exposed to Periodic Floods of Capivara River in Imperatriz City – Maranhão State, Brazil

Depression, Anxiety, Quality of Life, and Coping Strategies in People Exposed to Periodic Floods of Capivara River in Imperatriz City – Maranhão State, Brazil. Journal of Environmental Science and Public Health 6 (2022): 109-128. Abstract Introduction: Urban natural disasters, caused by floods due to river overflows, contribute to the environmental degradation of cities and cause physical and material losses. While neuropsychiatric Objective: To investigate the possible relationship between the periodic flooding of Riacho Capivara (Capivara river), in the Vila Ipiranga neighboorhood of the city of Imperatriz – Maranhão State, Brazil, and the appearance or worsening of psychological symptoms in its riverside population, as well as their coping mechanisms to these events. Materials and Methods: Sixty individuals of both sexes, aged between 15 and 75 years, periodically affected by the overflow of the Riacho Capivara from January to April 2021, were studied. Socioeconomic profiles, anxiety and depression levels were evaluated using the Hamilton scale; quality of life was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality of Life WHOQOL-bref form; and coping strategies, using the Coping Strategies inventory of Folkman and Lazarus. Results: Most participants were between 15 and 45 years old, most males had elementary school education while females had high school diplomas. For anxiety levels, men were only classified as mild, while women had mild, moderate and, to a lesser extent, severe levels in the Hamilton scale. Mild and moderate degrees of depression were more prevalent in men, while women presented higher percentages of moderate and severe degrees. While, overall, the quality of life was compromised, most subjects used different coping strategies to face adversity. The adversely impact the quality of life of riverside populations, as they presented high percentages of anxiety and depression according to the Hamilton scale. However, these individuals demonstrate a great capacity for coping and resilience-linked coping strategies.
Reimagining Fowler’s Stages of Faith: shifting from a seven stage to a four step framework for faith development

ABSTRACT Since 1981, James Fowler’s stage model of faith development has provided researchers with a framework for understanding the ways in which people develop belief systems over the course of their lives. Despite its helpfulness, there are several notable areas of critique that can be levelled against the model, including its lack of parsimony, heavy reliance on structural-developmental design, and lack of responsiveness to diversity. This article revises Fowler’s stage model into a process model, reducing the seven stages of his original design into four process steps that occur during belief formation and re-evaluation. These four steps – religious socialisation, early questioning, exploration and engagement, and refinement – can offer researchers a meaningful and parsimonious path for understanding the process of belief formation, transition, and maintenance. Implications and future directions are discussed.
Modeling of Dynamics Object with Non-Holonomic Constraints Based on Maple in Cylinder Coordinate RÃ—S^1Ã—SO(3)

Reliable real-time planning for dynamic systems is crucial in today's rapidly growing automated ecosystem, such as the environment and methods of planning a robotic system. This paper describes the rigid dynamics system with non-holonomic constraints on the RÃ—S^1Ã—SO(3)Â configuration space. The method used is the motion planning network and numeric treatment using physics computation which can be used for non-holonomic object systems that move in real-time with Jellets Invarian (JI) approach. The JI approach can result in a motion system equation and evaluate the model of an object with non-holonomic constraints and also display experimental results for navigation in theÂ RÃ—S^1Ã—SO(3)Â configuration space. The motion system with non-holonomic constraints used is Tippe top (TT). TT is a toy like a top which when rotated will flip itself with its stem. The author have finished in simulating the dynamics of TT motions in real time with the initial states that have been described with various coordinate in theÂ Â configuration space. Based on the results of previous studies on similar objects, TT was solved by the Eular-Lagrange Equation, Routhian Reduction Equation and Poincare. The author succeeded in describing the dynamics of TT motion in real time with predetermined initial conditions with various coordinates in theÂ R^2Ã—SO(3)Â configuration space.
Original Leaf Colonisers Shape Fungal Decomposer Communities of Phragmites australis in Intermittent Habitats

Common reed (Phragmites australis) has high biomass production and is primarily subjected to decomposition processes affected by multiple factors. To predict litter decomposition dynamics in intermittent lakes, it is critical to understand how communities of fungi, as the primary decomposers, form under different habitat conditions. This study reports the shotgun metagenomic sequencing of the initial fungal communities on common reed leaves decomposing under different environmental conditions. We demonstrate that a complex network of fungi forms already on the plant persists into the decomposition phase. Phragmites australis leaves contained at least five fungal phyla, with abundant Ascomycota (95.7%) and Basidiomycota (4.1%), identified as saprotrophs (48.6%), pathotrophs (22.5%), and symbiotrophs (12.6%). Most of the correlations between fungi in fresh and decomposing leaves were identified as co-occurrences (positive correlations). The geographic source of litter and leaf age did not affect the structure and diversity of fungal communities. Keystone taxa were mostly moisture-sensitive. Our results suggest that habitat has a strong effect on the formation of the fungal communities through keystone taxa. Nevertheless, it can also alter the proportions of individual fungal groups in the community through indirect effects on competition between the fungal taxa and their exploitation of favourable conditions.
Intercropping Sorghum and Soybean Efficiency Using Contour Ridges Technology in Southern Mali

Kani and Noumpinesso are two neighboring villages in which soil degradation is mainly caused by runoff and erosion. Contour ridges tillage (CRT) was identified as a runoff and erosion controlling technology while improving soil moisture and nutrient availability for crops. CRT technology associated with sorghum and soybean based intercropping system was assessed during 2017 and 2018 cropping season in an experiment under split plot design. Intercropping systems highly increased sorghum and soybean growth and yields. Sorghum grain yield, biomass yield, height and diameter were increased by 62, 51, 22 and 19%, respectively by intercropping. Soybean grain yield, biomass yield, height and diameter increased by 47, 30, 25 and 25%, respectively. Intercropping sorghum with soybean had an advantage with a Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) of 1.54 and 1.44 in 2017 and 2018 respectively. The technology of CRT added 40, 39, 25 and 21% on sorghum grain yield, straw yield, height and diameter respectively. The same parameters with soybean were greater by 52, 48, 38 and 35%, respectively. The application of CRT was economically profitable with a Value to Cost Ratio (VCR) of 3.3 and 3.0 in sorghum production and 12.8 and 9.2 in soybean production during 2017 and 2018 respectively.
The Importance of the Grit Factor for the Functioning and Coping of Schoolchildren during the First Wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The article presents the results of research carried out during the first wave of restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The research covered students of high schools – 275 students of schools from Białystok and Bielsk Podlaski, ages 16–19. The goal of the study was to investigate the relationship of the grit factor with the functioning of young people in a specific situation – remote learning, combined with additional, burdensome limitations in the public space. The sphere of learning and physical activity were the main areas of functioning that were researched in the study. The study used an original, author’s questionnaire to measure the functioning of young people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides this scale, also used were the Duckworth Short Grit Scale (SGS) (Polish adaptation by Wyszyńska et al., 2017) and the Cantril mental well-being scale (Cantril, 1965). The study displayed positive relationships between grit and the amount of time devoted to learning in remote mode, with regularity in maintaining the rhythm of the day (getting up at a similar time, taking up physical activity) and mental well-being.
Prevalence of Musculoskeletal Disorders in Upper Egypt Dental Scociety

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in group dentists in Upper Egypt. Subjects and methods: a total of 430 dentists were included in the current study after sample size calculation. They were randomly selected from four governorates in Upper Egypt (Bani Sweif Minia, Assuit, and Sohag). Data were collected by face-to-face interview and email using prevalidated questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 2 parts; first part demonstrates sociodemographic and 2 part assess musculoskeletal disorders and treatments received of participants (5 questions). Results: revealed high response rate among participant (93%). About 40.3% have complain related to Wrist /Hand, 53.8% have complain related to neck/shoulder, 54.8% have complain related to low/ high back, 52.5% have complain related to knees, ankles, and feet and 12.8% have treatment for musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion: Dentists in Upper Egypt have obvious musculoskeletal problems. Unfortunately, these shortages in knowledge and practice are a real cause of the musculoskeletal disorder.
Early Marriage Determinants and Effects on Mothers and their Offspring in Beni-Suef City

Marriage timing is one of the important determinants of birth rates and health profile of both the mothers and infants. Child marriage is recognized as a major development issue that affects girls in many developing countries. The practice has been linked to several health risks, higher fertility, and lower education attainment. The aim of the current study was to estimate the prevalence and asses the determinants and effects of early marriage in Beni-Suef City. This was a cross sectional study was conducted from December 2019 to December 2020. Data were collected from 600 participants using a structured questionnaire. This study provide that the prevalence of early marriage was found to be 16.2% with 59.3% mothers residing in rural areas and 83% belonging to Muslim religion. Lower educational level (less than secondary school) and consanguinity were found to have significant association with early age of marriage. 41.2% of the mothers who married before the age of 18 years faced complications during delivery. 52.2% of the mothers married before the age of 18 years gave birth to low-birth-weight babies. Early age of marriage is an important public health challenge. Hence, a national multi-sectorial approach must be targeted to reduce this phenomenon.
A Simplified Method of Microscopic Polarizability Tensor Differential of Hyper-Raman Spectroscopy Based on the Bond Additivity Model

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) and Ccherent anti-Stokes hyper-Raman spectroscopy (CAHRS), as other high-order nonlinear spectroscopy techniques, are widely exploited in many research fields, such as dynamic processes, gene expression spectrum screening, high-resolution spectroscopy, and nonlinear high-resolution imaging. However, it is difficult to make a quantitative analysis of the spectral signals that involve a large number of high-order micropolarizability tensors. It is reported that the CARS and CAHRS microscopic hyperpolarizability tensor elements can be decomposed into the product of the differentiation of Raman microscopic polarizability tensor α′i′j′ and hyper-Raman microscopic polarizability tensor β′i′j′k′ so that the high-order spectra can be simplified to the analysis of low-order spectra. In this paper, we use the bond additivity model (BAM) combined with experimental corrections to address the carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule and present the simplified scheme for differentiation of hyper-Raman microscopic polarizability tensor elements β′i′j′k′. Taking advantage of this approach, combined with the experimental correction, the differentiation of Hyper-Raman microscopic polarizability tensor elements β′i′j′k′ of the CO2 is obtained and the expressions of β′i′j′k′ for antisymmetric vibrations of CO2 are deduced. Finally, substituting the differentiation of Raman microscopic polarizability tensor elements α′i′j′ reported in the literature into the ratio above can obtain the proportional relationship between the microscopic polarizability tensor elements of CARS and CAHRS of the CO2. This method can provide the basis for the quantitative analysis of high-order nonlinear spectral profiles.
Optimization of Operating Condition for Sewage Sludge Dewatering by Electro-osmosis Technology

Electro-osmotic technology is characterized by good dewatering effect of urban sewage sludge, but high-energy consumption is required. Therefore, the influence of operating conditions such as voltage gradient, cake thickness, and mechanic pressure on dewatering effect was investigated. The result shows that higher voltage gradient supplemented with proper mechanic pressure is beneficial to electro-osmotic dewatering; and optimization of operating condition can result in reducing energy consumption.
Response of some Bread Wheat Cultivars to Naphthalene Acetic Acid under Calcareous Soils Conditions

Two field experiments were conducted under calcareous soil at Mariout Research Station, Alexandria Governorate during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. Each experiment was arranged in split plot design with four replicates. The present study investigated the effect of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) as plant growth regulator, applied as soaking on the yield, its components of yielded grains and quality of bread wheat cultivars under calcareous conditions. Moreover, the study aims to determine suitable concentration of NAA as exogenous treatment to enhance wheat cultivars tolerance to calcareous soils. Grain soaking with five levels of NAA, at (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 ppm) on three wheat cultivars (Misr -1, Gemmiza11 and Giza169) and irrigated from artesian well water (1780 ppm). Obtained results showed that increasing of NAA from 5 up to 15 ppm, significantly increased all yield, yield components and protein contents in each growing seasons. Misr1 cultivar was superior to Gemmiza-11 and Giza-169, in both seasons. NAA at 20 ppm was recorded as superior than 15 ppm for all yield criteria with Misr-1, in the two seasons. It was observed that 20 ppm concentration of NAA showed better results in enhancing the straw and grain yields of the wheat cultivar, Misr-1 coinciding with producing high yield, yield attributes and protein content under Mariout Region, Egypt. Therefore, the application of NAA, at 20 ppm and Misr-1 on wheat under calcareous soils was more effective of yield, yield components and quality.
Application of multiple regression analysis to study the relationship between eeg rhythms at persons with mental retardation

Using the calculation of coefficients of multiple linear regression of two-dimensional correlation, we studied the mutual influences (functional connectivity) between the amplitudes of EEG rhythms in people with mental retardation. Multiple regression equations were geometrically interpreted using polycyclic multigraphs. As a result of the studies and calculations, it was found that in mental retardation, the number of regression coefficients of the two-dimensional correlation is determined to be greater than in the norm. In the sinistrals control group, the coefficients of multiple regression of two-dimensional correlation were determined more than in the dextrals control group. In mentally retarded sinistrals, the number of multiple regression coefficients was determined to be less than in mentally retarded dextrals, but the number of bivariate correlation coefficients was larger. The resulting increase in correlation coefficients may indicate an increase in tone in sinistrals suffering from mental retardation compared to dextrals with mental retardation. The mechanism of this increase in tone is realized by linear functions.
Variation in insulative feather structure in songbirds replacing each other along a tropical elevation gradient

Abstract High‐elevation organisms are expected to evolve physiological adaptations to cope with harsh environmental conditions. Yet, evidence for such adaptive differences, especially compared to closely related lowland taxa occurring along the same elevational gradient, is rare. Revisiting an anecdotal natural history observation by O. Bangs from 1899 and based on new measurements of museum specimens, we confirmed that the high‐elevation hermit wood wren (Henicorhina anachoreta) from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, has longer, more insulative feathers on the chest and back, than its lower‐elevation counterpart the grey‐breasted wood wren (H. leucophrys). However, we did not find evidence for the same specializations in subspecies of H. leucophrys that live at high elevations on other elevational gradients in the Colombian Andes, although similar adaptive solutions have arisen in separate mountain systems like the Himalayas. Adaptations in plumage may be associated with the recurrence of elevational species replacements throughout the tropics.
Influence of Epoxy Resin Curing Kinetics on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon Fiber Composites

In this study, the kinetic parameters belonging to the cross-linking process of a modified epoxy resin, Aerotuf 275-34™, were investigated. Resin curing kinetics are crucial to understanding the structure–property–processing relationship for manufacturing high-performance carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRPCs). The parameters were obtained using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements and the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa, Kissinger, Borchardt–Daniels, and Friedman approaches. The DSC thermograms show two exothermic peaks that were deconvoluted as two separate reactions that follow autocatalytic models. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of produced carbon fiber/Aerotuf 275-34™ laminates using thermosetting polymers such as epoxies, phenolics, and cyanate esters were evaluated as a function of the conversion degree, and a close correlation was found between the degree of curing and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS). We found that when the composite material is cured at 160 °C for 15 min, it reaches a conversion degree of 0.97 and a UTS value that accounts for 95% of the maximum value obtained at 200 °C (180 MPa). Thus, the application of such processing conditions could be enough to achieve good mechanical properties of the composite laminates. These results suggest the possibility for the development of strategies towards manufacturing high-performance materials based on the modified epoxy resin (Aerotuf 275-34™) through the curing process.
The Possibility for a Teacher to Reduce a Sense of Helplessness in Polish Language and Maths Lessons in the Fifth Year of Learning in Primary School

The article presents the results of empirical research, conducted according to quantitative strategy, on the significance for the level of school helplessness of the conditions of psychosocial development created for pupils in their fifth year of learning in primary school in relationships with teachers and peers and in relation to the grades received in Polish language and math classes throughout the school year. The regression analysis indicated that relationships with teachers exert the stronger impact on the level of helplessness, followed by school grades, and relationships with peers. The teacher can influence each of these factors. This means that the chances that pupils have of fulfilling the developmental task for the age of 7 to 12, in accordance with Erik H. Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development, are largely dependent on the teacher. Not only the successes in subsequent life stages but also the motivation to learn, creativity, flexibility of thinking and acting, persistence, and the emotions accompanying pupils while learning are dependent on a sense of competence.
