Three-dimensional magnetotelluric modelling of the serra da cangalha impact crater, northeastern brazil

Three-dimensional (3-D) forward modeling results of a magnetotelluric (MT) survey carried out around the Serra da Cangaiha impact crater located in northeastern region of Parnaiba basin Brazil are presented. The 13 km impact structure has been investigated because of its explicit 3-D shape and scientific interest. We recorded MT data in the period range between 0.001s and 1095s at 25 sites. The sites are aligned across the crater structure along three radial profiles (NE - SW, NW -SE and ENE - WSW). The MT results at some sites are strongly affected by 3-D effects. A 3-D finite-difference forward modeling algorithm was applied in order to explain the observed data. The central part of the model covers an area of approximately 169 km . The model of the study area, constructed using a 3-D mesh of 22 x 19 x 25 (29325 cells) was based on the a priori information of the geology of the region, and the results of the two-dimensional (2-D) inversion results. Eleven frequencies were used for the 3-D modelling from 0.01 to 1000 Hz. Induction vectors that show the conductivity distribution around the crater region were calculated for the 25 MT sites The real induction arrows at short periods point towards the center of the crater and indicate the existence of a 3-D circular structure. The resistivity structure obtained suggests perturbations of the upper crust due to the meteorite impact; the base of the uplifted structure extending to 3.0 km depth was well delineated. The observed 3-D effects are explained as a shallow resistive ring that represents a local 3-D body embedded in a regional layered earth. The results confirm the importance of 3-D forward modeling in impact crater studies. The study provided insight into the post-impact electrical signature of the upper crust.
Toxic Emission During Road Tests of Urban Bus

The article presents the results of toxic emissions in road tests of an urban bus. The object of the study was the Mercedes Connecto city bus. The results of toxic emissions were recorded in real time while bus drives with the use of the Semtech Ecostar exhaust gas analysis system. The study involved a planned bus SORT 2 test cycle. During the tests, the fuel consumption and exhaust gases such as CO 2 , CO, NO x , HC, NMHC, and O 2 were recorded. The driving conditions in the study were constant (test cycles took place at the airport), exhaust gas temperature (hot engine) was also constant, etc. The results were based on average values from 5 test cycles for each test. The influence of electric load in the bus grid on the level of toxic emissions was measured. It has been proven that fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions increased, which means a change in the value of components of toxic emissions. This fact evident from the increased CO emissions and decreased O 2 emissions. Logically, the air-fuel mixture may have been enriched due to the increased demand for effective power generated by the engine crankshaft.

Evolving Service Innovation for The Late-mover Industry

Research Aims: This paper examines how Islamic banking in Indonesia, as a late-mover industry, evolves service innovation to attract customers and compete with already established conventional banking. Design/methodology/approach: This qualitative research examines Indonesian Islamic Banking as a case study. This study involves two stages: investigating the case in-depth, detail, and context analysis using secondary data from various sources and in-depth interviews with stakeholders. Triangulation was employed to validate the entire result using various methods and data source triangulation. Research Findings: This research reveals that the development of service innovation in late movers is influenced by the sort of industry, the goals and values of the new industry's establishment, the resources owned, and market characteristics. While the dimensions of service innovation developed by late movers typically focus on new value systems, they emphasise value; meanwhile, in terms of technical or working models of the innovation, they tend to replicate or modify from first movers.
Threat Attribution and Reasoning for Industrial Control System Asset

Due to the widespread use of the industrial internet of things, the industrial control system has steadily transformed into an intelligent and informational one. To increase the industrial control system's security, based on industrial control system assets, this paper provides a method of threat modeling, attributing, and reasoning. First, this method characterizes the asset threat of an industrial control system by constructing an asset security ontology based on the asset structure. Second, this approach makes use of machine learning to identify assets and attribute the attacker's attack path. Subsequently, inference rules are devised to replicate the attacker's attack path, thereby reducing the response time of security personnel to threats and strengthening the semantic relationship between asset security within industrial control systems. Finally, the process is used in the simulation environment and real case scenario based on the power grid, where the assets and attacks are mapped. The actual attack path is deduced, and it demonstrates the approach's effectiveness.
Different Putative Methyltransferases Have Different Effects on the Expression Patterns of Cellulolytic Genes

Putative methyltranferase LaeA and LaeA-like proteins, conserved in many filamentous fungi, regulate fungal growth, development, virulence, the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and the production of cellulolytic enzymes. Penicillium oxaliucm is a typical fungus that produces cellulolytic enzymes. In this study, we reported the biological function of eight putative methyltransferases (PoMtr23C/D/E/F/G/H and PoMtr25A/B) containing a methyltransf_23 or methyltransf_25 domain, with a focus on their roles in the production of cellulolytic enzymes. In P. oxalicum, various methyltransferase genes displayed different transcriptional levels. The genes Pomtr23C and Pomtr25A exhibited high transcriptional levels, while Pomtr23D/E/F/G/H and Pomtr25B were transcribed constantly at low levels. The gene deletion mutants (Δmtr23C/D/E/F/G/H and Δmtr25A/B) were constructed. Various mutants have different patterns in cellulolytic enzyme production. Compared to the WT, the largest increase in filter paper activity (FPA, indicating total cellulase activity) was observed in the Δmtr23G mutant, the only mutant with a cellulolytic halo surrounding the colony. Three mutants (Δmtr23C/D and Δmtr25A) also showed increased cellulolytic enzyme production. The Δmtr23E and Δmtr25B mutants displayed decreased FPA activity, while the Δmtr23F and Δmtr23H mutants displayed similar patterns of cellulolytic enzyme production compared with the WT. The assay of transcriptional levels of cellobiohydrolase gene Pocbh1 and β-1,4-endoglucanase Poeg1 supported that higher cellulolytic gene transcription resulted in higher production of cellulolytic enzymes, and vice versa. The transcriptional levels of two transcription factors, activator XlnR and repressor CreA, were measured. The high transcription level of the PoxlnR gene in the Δmtr23D mutant should be one reason for the increased transcription of its cellulolytic enzyme gene. Both XlnR and CreA transcriptional levels increased in the Δmtr23G mutant, but the former showed a more significant increase than the latter, indicating that the activation effect predominated. The PoMtr25A is localized in the nucleus. The catalytic subunit SNF2 of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex was found as one of the interacting proteins of PoMtr25A via tandem affinity purification coupled with mass spectrometry. PoMtr25A may affect not only the transcription of repressor CreA but also by recruiting SWI/SNF complexes that affect chromatin structure, thereby regulating the transcription of target genes.
Second-Level Nurses’ Experiences of Workplace Violence: A Scoping Review

Aim. To synthesise and map what is known about second-level nurses’ workplace violence experience. Background. Workplace violence has become a topic of focus in nursing over recent years. Research demonstrates that there is a growing body of literature focusing on first-level nurses’ workplace violence experiences, but those of second-level nurses, a crucial component of the health workforce in many countries, have not been well explored. Evaluation. A scoping review was conducted from January 2000 up to March 2022 using Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and databases, including ABI/Inform Collection, CINAHL, DOAJ, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest Central. Key Issues. Eighteen studies were included in the final review. The review identified three key findings related to second-level nurses’ workplace violence experience. (1) They were found to have experienced physical and non-physical violence. Among non-physical violence, they reported experiencing bullying, mobbing, sexual harassment, racial discrimination, nurse-to-nurse conflict, and electronic abuse. (2) They were more likely than first-level nurses to experience physical violence, and (3) often data from second-level nurses were combined with those of first-level nurses; hence, it was difficult to identify the specific experiences of second-level nurses. Conclusion. The review contributes to new knowledge highlighting the second-level nurses’ workplace violence experiences worldwide. The review indicated that there are gaps identified and there is a need for greater understandings of workplace violence in second-level nurses to understand the scope of their problem and the nature of their experiences. Implications for Nursing Management. Nurse managers play a critical role to develop and implement effective policies and evidence-based interventions to improve the working conditions of the second-level nurses. The results of this current review can be used to guide nurse managers and organisations in providing adequate support to reduce and prevent WPV and advocate for a positive workplace culture.
THE METHOD OF RESERVOIR NUMERICAL SIMULATION WHEN CONSIDERING THE PRESSURE-DROP ALONE THE HORIZONTAL WELL-BORE

The application of horizontal well technology has become wider in the developing of oil field.However there is a problem in the current methods of horizontal well numerical simulation:most of them do not consider the fluid pressure drop alone the horizontal well bore.So,it makes a relatively great deviation between the actual result of developing process and the result of numerical simulation.To solve this problem,we set up a new kind of horizontal well numerical simulation model in this paper,which based on the vertical well black oil simulation model.It considers the influences of 4 kinds of pressure losses when the fluid flows in the horizontal well bore (including well friction loss,acceleration pressure loss,mixture pressure loss and weight loss). The numerical simulation program based on the model can also deal with the anisotropic formation.Because the relevant matrix is a "seven diagonal sparse matrix with an attached column" when we consider the pressure drop alone the horizontal well bore,we develop a new mathematical method,which is called "partitioned matrix multiplication combined with preliminary treatment of conjugate gradient". The trial solution of this method has indicated a faster convergence rate.By the numerical simulation program,we correlate,compute and analyze the factors that influence the horizontal well production,pressure loss alone the well bore and flowing bottomhleo pressure.According to the results,we can give suggestions to the optimum design of the horizontal well.
Training Supervised Neural Networks for PolSAR Despeckling With an Hybrid Approach

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are fundamental system for Earth Observation. In particular, polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) sensors provide images of a scene at different polarizations, enriching the information that can be retrieved. Due to their coherent nature, SAR images are complex data affected by a multiplicative noise, called speckle. The presence of this noise hinders the interpretation of images, making speckle removal a fundamental preprocessing step for further applications. Several deep learning (DL)-based approaches have been recently proposed for speckle removal in PolSAR data relying, due to the lack of a real ground truth, on different strategies for constructing training datasets making a real comparison complicated. In this work, a study on the construction of a training dataset for PolSAR despeckling is proposed. In particular, considering the analysis recently conducted on the construction of the dataset for training supervised neural networks for SAR amplitude despeckling, the aim is to extend such studies to the PolSAR case. In particular, the commonly used multitemporal approach, relying on the stack of real data, is compared with the so-called hybrid approach, in which a mixture of real and synthetic data is proposed. A specific DL solution has been chosen for such comparison, but the analysis could be extended to whatever supervised neural network. Moreover, for the sake of completeness, results are also compared with a well-assessed PolSAR despeckling filter in the literature.
Study of Crystalline and Thermal Properties of Nanocomposites Based on Polyamide-6 and Modified Montmorillonite

The main operational characteristics of polyamide-6-montmorillonite (PA6/MMT) nanocomposites, which deter - mine their fields of application, mainly depend on the crystal structure and crystallinity of the polymer. Therefore, the study of the crystalline behavior of PA6 in such nanocomposites is of considerable scientific and practical importance. In this work, the structure, crystalline, and thermal properties of nanocomposites based on PA6 and modified MMT prepared in a formic acid solution were investigated using the methods of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). It was established that during the manufacture of PA6/MMT nanocomposites in a solution, the dominant crystal structures are the thermodynamically stable α structures of PA6. The crystallinity degree of PA6 in nanocomposites is about 1.5 times higher than that of the original PA6. It is shown that after additional thermomechanical treatment of nanocomposites on a capillary viscometer at 230 °С and a load of 5 kg, the uniformity of the distribution of exfoliated MMT in the polymer matrix increases, as a result of which the crystalline structure of PA6 changes and its glass transition and melting temperatures increase. These changes in the PA6 structure also have a significant impact on the melt flow index and the softening temperature of nanocomposites.
Nutritional and Possible Pharmaceutical Aspects of Tree Exudates Eaten by Lemurs of Madagascar’s Dry Forests

Gums produced by trees after injuries are valuable food resources for several primate species. Yet, information on the chemical characteristics of gum is scant and inconsistent. We use gums consumed by lemurs (strepsirrhine primates of Madagascar) as an example to illustrate their possible nutritive and pharmaceutical properties. Exudates from 45 tree species of the dry forests of Madagascar contained 0.38–23.29% protein, 0.46–65.62% sugar, and 0.39–11.86 kJ/g of energy in dry matter. Exemplified by the lemur species Microcebus griseorufus, gum consumption increased with increasing sugar and energy content but was unrelated to protein. But lemurs also fed on gum with very low protein and energy content, suggesting that these exudates were consumed for other reasons. Disk diffusion tests with exudates from five out of 22 tree species consumed by lemurs showed antibacterial activity against Micrococcus spp. and/or Staphylococcus aureus. Exudates with antibacterial activity had lower protein, sugar, and energy contents than samples without antibacterial properties. GC-MS analyses revealed several components with antimicrobial effects that would have the potential for self-medication. This might explain the consumption of gum with very low nutritive value. Possible medicinal effects of tree exudates deserve further attention in view of their pharmaceutical applicability for animals and humans alike.
THE APPLICATION OF REVERSE SHIFT PATTERN TO OPERATOR WORKERS IN THE POWERHOUSE

Introduction: Companies generally apply a shift system to keep production running. Implementing work shifts is not necessarily independent of the risks, especially for workers who carry it out. Aims: to analyze the impact felt by operator workers from the implementation of the shift work system that is currently being undertaken, in terms of its impact on physiological, performance, psychological, and social aspects. Method: This research used a qualitative approach. The research was conducted at the powerhouse and the informants in this study were management and employees of the powerhouse operator. Collecting the required data was done by interviewing and observation techniques. Meanwhile, the discussion used descriptive method. Result: The results showed that the backward shift pattern applied by the company did not have a break. It is known that there are several impacts felt by workers as a result of implementing backward work shifts, such as disturbed sleep patterns, experiencing digestive disorders such as bloating and diarrhea, feeling excessively depressed, and workers experiencing social interaction barriers outside of work. However, the shift pattern currently applied has no impact on the performance of the operator. Conclusion: The shift pattern implemented has an impact on operator workers, especially on physiological, psychological and social aspects. Therefore, there is still a need for improvement in the shift pattern applied.
The Effects of Stakeholders Management on Risks: An IT Projects Analysis

The literature indicates that inadequate communication with stakeholders and activities’ inherent uncertainties are some of the main causes of project failure. Therefore, two essential areas of project management are risk management and stakeholder engagement plan. In this matter, this study aims to evaluate how stakeholders affects project risks and how they relate to project success from the understanding of concepts and management tools. Four factors related to stakeholder management were defined as guides for the creation of eight scenarios, which resulted in different probabilities for three risk variables. Nine interviews with IT projects experts and specialists on project management education were conducted to obtain opinions on the proposed scenarios. The consistency of responses was verified by the Delphi method and by the coefficient of variation. The statistical method of Design of Experiments was applied, using Minitab® software, for the construction of the research instrument and for data analysis. Therefore, the effects of the factors ‘stakeholder register’, ‘stakeholder engagement’, ‘communication with stakeholders’, and ‘number of stakeholder groups’ on response variables ‘negative risk incidence’, ‘opportunities incidence’, and ‘development of contingency strategies’ were identified. Results show that the engagement and communication with stakeholders have a significant influence in the occurrence of negative risks, in the occurrence of opportunities and in the development of contingency strategies for the analyzed scenarios.
