Predictive model for COVID 19 curve - An evolutionary approach

In this manuscript we propose a novel method that models the evolution, spread and transmission of COVID 19 pandemic. The proposed model is inspired partly from the evolutionary based state of the art genetic algorithm. The rate of virus evolution, spread and transmission of the COVID 19 and its associated recovery and death rate are modeled using the principle inspired from evolutionary algorithm. Furthermore, the interaction within a community and interaction outside the community is modeled. Using this model, the maximum healthcare threshold is fixed as a constraint. Our evolutionary based model distinguishes between individuals in the population depending on the severity of their symptoms/infection based on the fitness value of the individuals. There is a need to differentiate between virus infected diagnosed (Self isolated) and virus infected non-diagnosed (Highly interacting) sub populations/group. In this study the model results does not compare the number outcomes with any actual real time data based curves. However, the results from the model demonstrates that a strict lockdown, social-distancing measures in conjunction with more number of testing and contact tracing is required to flatten the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic curve. A reproductive number of 2.4 during the initial spread of virus is predicted from the model for the randomly considered population. The proposed model has the potential to be further fine-tuned and matched accurately against real time data.
Non-normative use of reflexivity in social work with families in the Czech Republic

Discourse on the normative use of reflexivity predominates in the professional literature. Expert articles on the topic of non-normative use of reflexivity, which is based on the presumption that social workers do not use reflexivity to improve their work quality, but rather its functions for themselves to fulfil specific purposes, is missing, with some exceptions in the literature. The presented article therefore aims to understand the use of reflexivity in the practice of social work with families in its non-normative concept and to determine the implications for social work. Using the abduction method (in which Schechtman’s narrative identity theory was applied to data analysis), the following four categories of the use of reflexivity in a non-normative way were saturated with data obtained from initial interviews, field observations and subsequent reflection of field observations with social workers: personal interest, survival, moral responsibility and compensation. The non-normative concept of reflexivity is further discussed in the context of specific implications for education and practice of social work.
The Supervision of Dough Fermentation Using Image Analysis Complemented by a Continuous Discrete Extended Kalman Filter

Dough fermentation is an important step during the preparation of fermented baking goods. For the supervision of dough fermentation, a continuous-discrete extended Kalman filter was applied, which uses an image analysis system as the measurement. By estimation a fixed number of gas bubbles inside the dough, the radius of an average bubble was determined. A mathematical dough model was used by the extended Kalman filter to estimate the radius of the average bubble, the CO2 concentration of the non-gas dough phase and the number of CO2 molecules in the average bubble. During a fermentation of 50 min, the extended Kalman filter estimated that the average radius increased from 50 µm to 127 µm, the CO2 concentration in the non-gas dough increased to 23 mol/m³, and the CO2 amount in the bubble increased from 0.1 × 10−10 to 4 × 10−10 mol. Also, the specific CO2 production rate was estimated to be in the range from 1.5 × 10−3 to more than 4 × 10−3 mol·m³/kg/s. The advantages of an extended Kalman filter for the supervision of the dough fermentation process are discussed.
Case History of a Large‐Scale Air Sparging/Soil Vapor Extraction System for Remediation of Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds in Ground Water

A large‐scale air sparging/soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE) project constructed within coastal plain sediments in New Jersey has demonstrated substantial progress toward remediating ground water through removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Potential concerns identified prior to project implementation regarding hydraulic mounding, reduction in hydraulic conductivity, development of air channels, and the absence of hydraulic containment were assessed and addressed through testing and operational features incorporated into the project. At the project site, AS/SVE has successfully reduced the presence of many VOCs to undetectable levels, while reducing the concentrations of the remaining VOCs by factors of two to 500. The physical agitation caused by air sparging, and incomplete transformation from sorbed and nonaqueous phases to the vapor phase, appears to temporarily increase VOC concentrations and/or mobility of dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DN APLs) within source areas at the project site, but this is addressed in terms of subsequent removal of VOCs by properly placed downgradient treatment lines and VOCs by properly placed downgradient treatment lines and DNAPL recovery wells. This case study identifies and evaluates project‐specific features and provides empirical data for potential comparison to other candidates AS/SVE sites.
Hard Coal Surface Heterogeneity in the Sorption Process

This paper discusses sources of hard coal energetic heterogeneity and its effects on sorption properties. Natural coal is viewed as a porous elastic copolymer in which absorption and adsorption phenomena can occur. The dominant role of submicropores which are about the size of a water molecule is stressed, as the effects of larger pores on sorption capacity are negligible. Bearing in mind the size of the submicropores, one must take account of swelling of the sorbent and the resultant changes in its surface area. A unified theoretical description of sorption equilibria with respect to swelling phenomena (multiple sorption model) is developed. Alternative models describing effects of geometrical and chemical factors on the sorption energy are discussed. The resultant theoretical sorption isotherms are compared with empirical data for sorption of water and benzene in two coals. The model explains differences in sorption properties of the coals in terms of the pecularities of their surfaces. Expansion was found to be of crucial importance for the sorption ofbenzene. It is shown that a simplified description ofsorbent-sorbate energetic interactions is adequate to express the basic relations between the energies attributed to submicropores of different size.
Modeling thermal properties of exotic fruits pulps: an artificial neural networks approach

Thermophysical properties are important in design, simulation, optimization, and control of food processing. Its prediction is very important but theoretical basis is difficult and empirical models were commonly used. In this work, the modeling of neural networks was applied as an alternative to predict density, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity from the temperature and moisture content of jackfruit, genipap and umbu. Data sets from literature were used, combined and individually, to obtain four networks. Supervised multilayer perceptron networks were developed, using the back-propagation algorithm. Several configurations of artificial neural networks (ANNs) were evaluated with one or two hidden layers and a maximum of 21 and 12 neurons in each one, respectively. Data sets were divided to learning (60%) and verification (40%) steps. Best ANNs were chosen based on correlation coefficient and root mean square errors (RMSE), and compared with polynomial models using average absolute deviations (AADs). From total disposable data set, the best ANN developed presents one hidden layer with 15 neurons and shows the same predictive ability of ANNs created from individual fruits data sets, presenting close RMSE and correlation coefficient. The ANNs developed presents AADs near to polynomial models and appers as alternative to conventional modeling. Results indicate that the ANN created from total data set can replace nine polynomial models to predict the thermophysical properties of jackfruit, genipap and umbu pulps.

EFFECTS OF AUTHORITARIAN AND ETHICAL LEADERSHIP ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE: MEDIATING ROLE OF EMPLOYEE COMPETENCIES AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES IN ZIMBABWEAN BANKS

The purpose and objective of this paper is to identify the effects from key selected independent variables namely Authoritarian Leadership (AL), Ethical Leadership (EL), towards a chosen dependent variable Employee Performance (EP). It also studies the mediating roles of two independents that are Employee Competencies (EC), and Performance Management Practices (PMP) when introduced into the model. A survey questionnaire for data gathering was used and issued to respondents that were bank employees on selected commercial banks located in Harare, the capital City of Zimbabwe, and a total of 390 valid responses were gathered. SPSS version 24 was used to analyse the collected data on each variable through demographic, reliability tests, regression analysis, correlation and factor analysis during the validation process of the gathered data. The data analysis outcome showed that all the identified variables were predictors and influential to employee performance, when analysed as individual variables. The management of companies are required to focus on mixing both the leadership element and the competency as a prerequisite for practices and action towards achieving higher performance.
Pressure effect on the Raman and photoluminescence spectra of Eu3+-doped Na2Ti6O13 nanorods

Eu3+-doped Na2Ti6O13 (Na2Ti6O13:Eu) nanorods with diameters of 30 nm and lengths 400 nm were synthesized by hydrothermal and heat treatment methods. Raman spectra at ambient conditions indicated a pure monoclinic phase (space group C2/m) of the nanorods. The relations between structural and optical properties of Na2Ti6O13:Eu nanorods under high pressures were obtained by photoluminescence and Raman spectra. Two structural transition points at 1.39 and 15.48 GPa were observed when the samples were pressurized. The first transition point was attributed to the crystalline structural distortion. The later transition point was the result of pressure-induced amorphization, and the high-density amorphous (HDA) phase formed after 15.48 GPa was structurally related to the monoclinic baddeleyite structured TiO2 (P21/c). However, the site symmetry of the local environment around the Eu3+ ions in Na2Ti6O13 increased with the rising pressure. These above results indicate the occurrence of short-range order for the local asymmetry around the Eu3+ ions and long-range disorder for the crystalline structure of Na2Ti6O13:Eu nanorods by applying pressure. After releasing the pressure from 22.74 GPa, the HDA phase is transformed to low-density amorphous form, which is attributed to be structurally related to the α-PbO2-type TiO2.
Laser-based ion mobility spectrometry for sensing of aromatic compounds

The drift time spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), alkylbenzenes and alkylphenylethers were recorded with a laser-based ion mobility (IM) spectrometer. The ion mobilities of all compounds were determined in helium as drift gas. This allows the calculation of the diffusion cross sections (Ωcalc) on the basis of the exact hard sphere scattering model (EHSSM) and their comparison with the experimentally determined diffusion cross sections (Ωexp). These Ωexp/Ωcalc-correlations are presented for molecules with a rigid structure like PAH and prove the reliability of the theoretical model and experimental method. The increase of the selectivity of IM spectrometry is demonstrated using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) at atmospheric pressure, realized by tuneable lasers. The REMPI spectra of nine alkylbenzenes and alkylphenylethers are investigated. On the basis of these spectra, the complete qualitative distinction of eight compounds in a mixture is shown. These experiments are extended to alkylbenzene isomer mixtures.
Further Studies of Reactions of Hot Hydrogen with Hydrocarbons

A further quantitative examination of the reactions of recoil tritium with hydrocarbons has been made. Reaction probabilities for various types of processes have been determined as a function of neon moderation. Data have been analyzed using the kinetic theory of hot reactions. This theory has been extended to indicate the relative mean energies and overlap of the excitation functions for the several possible reactions. The following conclusions are indicated by our data: (1) Reactivity integrals I and energy loss parameters α increase with increasing complexity of the reactant molecule. This appears to be associated with the greater ability of larger molecules to absorb the excess energy of hot tritium atoms. (2) Abstraction appears to occur at higher average energies than displacement. Since abstraction is known to be dominant at lower energies, this means that it can also occur efficiently at higher energies than displacement. These findings accord with a previously postulated stripping mechanism for a.
Ammonia sorption studies into thin layers of hexadecafluorinated cobalt phthalocyanine using optical techniques

In the present work, the optical response of CoPcF16 films upon exposure to ammonia vapor in the concentration range 50 to 1000 ppm was measured by total internal reflection ellipsometry. It was demonstrated that the sorption of NH3 molecules causes substantial shift of the Δ(λ) spectrum which is determined by the increase in film thickness and change of its optical parameters. It was found that the CoPcF16 films deposited at substrate temperature of 220 °C are characterized by larger grains and more developed surface demonstrating higher optical response than films deposited at substrate temperature of 60 °C. In order to gain an insight into the sorption mechanism at molecular level, we have studied the interaction of ammonia vapor with hexadecafluorinated cobalt phthalocyanine using infrared spectroscopy. It was shown that the detection of ammonia was found to be governed primarily by coordination to the metal center.
Preparation and properties of nanophase (Ce, Zr, Pr)O2-doped alumina coating on cordierite ceramic honeycomb for three-way catalysts

Nanophase (Ce, Zr, Pr)O2-doped alumina coatings were prepared by impregnating the cordierite ceramic honeycomb in the sol or in the slurry of already calcined powder, respectively. The effects of preparation methods on the crystal phase, texture, oxygen storage capacity (OSC), reducibility, surface morphology and thermal stability of coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the Brunauer Emmet Teller (BET) method, the oxygen pulsing technique, H2-temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These nanophase (Ce, Zr, Pr)O2-doped alumina coatings were used as supports to prepare Pd-only three-way catalysts, and evaluated with respect to catalytic activities. The results indicate that the nanophase (Ce, Zr, Pr)O2-doped alumina coatings prepared by the two methods have high thermal stability. However, the coating derived from the sol shows better crystalline structure, texture, reducibility and oxygen storage capacity than the coating derived from the slurry. SEM observation shows that the morphology of the coating derived from the sol is uniform and smooth. The Pd-only catalyst derived from the sol exhibits high three-way catalytic activity at low temperature and thermal stability, suggesting a great potential for applications.
Decision-Making Analysis Under Interval-Valued q-Rung Orthopair Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Environment

Interval-valued dual hesitant fuzzy set (IVDHFS) as an extended structure of hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), interval-valued HFS and dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) has been developed and applied in multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problem. Whiledecidingthemembershipdegree(MD)andnonmembershipdegree(NMD)in q -rungorthopairfuzzycondition,decision makers perhaps hesitant among a lot of values, and the q -rung orthopair dual hesitant fuzzy sets ( q -RODHFSs) were proposed. Decision makers prefer to utilize interval values, instated of crisp numbers, to represent MD and NMD in MADM problems. In this paper, we propose the novel idea of interval-valued q -rung orthopair dual hesitant fuzzy graphs, in the light of Hamacher operator, called interval-valued q -rung orthopair dual hesitant fuzzy Hamacher graphs (IV q -RODHFHGs) and determine its energy. Further, we develop the new concepts of Zagreb energy and Harmonic energy of IV q -RODHFHGs. Moreover, we apply the proposed concept of IV q -RODHFHGs to solve the MADM problems with IV q -RODHF information. Finally, a numerical model relating to the evaluation of the performance of search and rescue robots is presented to show the utilization of the developed technique. To interpret the effectiveness and the validity of the proposed method, a comparison analysis with the established approaches is conducted.
Green human resource management, green organization identity and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment: the moderating effect of environmental values

Purpose Green human resource management (GHRM) is a new management philosophy and pattern that applies the concept of “green” to human resource management, which plays an important role in realizing environmental goals and obtaining competitive advantage. Based on 201 effective samples from 3 manufacturing enterprises, this study investigates the relationship between GRHM, green organization identity (GOI), environmental values and organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment (OCBEs). The results show that GRHM has a significant positive impact on OCBEs, and GOI plays an intermediary role in the relationship between GRHM and OCBEs, and environmental values moderate the impact of GRHM on GOI and OCBEs. The findings have important theoretical implications for enterprises to achieve green development strategy. Design/methodology/approach This study selects three manufacturing enterprises certified by the environmental management system ISO14001, which meet the environmental protection requirements of the Chinese Government, local communities and customers. Through interviews and referring to enterprise documents, the researchers find that the enterprises have set environmental protection standards such as energy consumption, solid waste emissions, water consumption and waste recycling. The enterprises surveyed have adopted the GRHM practice, such as green training for employees, encouraging employees to participate in green activities and so on. This study collects data in two ways: on-the-spot and entrustment questionnaire distribution. In the first stage, the data of GRHM and environmental values were collected. A total of 277 questionnaires were distributed and 264 were sent back, among them 252 were valid. Findings GRHM has a positive impact on OCBEs. GOI mediates the influence of GRHM on the OCBEs, and environmental values moderate the effect of GRHM on organizational identity and OCBEs. Originality/value This paper investigates the effect and mechanism of GRHM in China and provides theoretical guidance for enterprises to implement green management effectively.

Mushrooms are one of the strategic agro-industrial commodities in Indonesia. It is because the mushroom market share for consumption is very high. People consume mushrooms as a snack, side dishes, and also as a main dish. The mushroom business in Malang Indonesia is very lively, especially in this city, there are many students and employees as consumers who like snacks on the sidelines of their activities. Due to many of those industries, the SME of mushroom needs to increase the production. Leading competitiveness in the product are the factors that must be kept by companies to be successful in their business. This research aims to understand the effect of tangible resources, entrepreneurship orientation, business uncertainty on competitive strategy, and the influence of competitive strategy on the company’s performance. The research uses methods such as quantitative descriptive analysis and inferential (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS). Strategic resources, entrepreneurial orientation, and environmental uncertainty of mushroom small-medium enterprises have a direct effect more than an indirect effect. Strategic resources have the strongest significance if it is compared to entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial uncertainty. Further research is needed to see the effect of competitive strategy on business performance.
