Electrohydrodynamic capillary instability of Rivlin–Ericksen viscoelastic fluid film with mass and heat transfer

This paper presents an analysis of viscous fluids and a Rivlin–Ericksen (R‐E) viscoelastic fluid interface under the influence of heat and mass transfer, while both fluids are exposed to an axial electric field. The fluids are restricted within an annular region that is enclosed by two rigid cylinders. The outer section of the annular region holds the R‐E viscoelastic fluid, while the inner section is filled with the viscous fluid. To ascertain the correlation between perturbation growth and wavenumber, the theory of potential flow on viscoelastic–viscous fluids is applied, and the result is represented as a second‐order polynomial. This correlation is numerically solved using the Newton–Raphson method. Variables of viscous flow, such as electric field strength, heat transfer coefficient, viscoelasticity, viscosity, and so forth, are numerically studied. With an increase in electric field strength, the perturbation growth decays and expands for the particular combinations of permittivity and conductivity ratio, showing the dual effect of the axial electric field.
Practical formation‐containment tracking for multiple autonomous surface vessels system

Practical formation-containment tracking issues for the multiple autonomous surface vessels system with multiple leader vessels are considered. The follower vessels' states are designed to track the convex combination of the leader vessels' states, which are required to actualise the predefined time-varying formation tracking. Firstly, this study establishes the dynamic models of the multiple vessels system, where the outer-loop kinematic model and inner-loop dynamic model are considered simultaneously. Then, the practical formation-containment tracking protocols are devised based on distributed extended state observers, where the mismatched uncertainties and leader vessels' control input signals are estimated and compensated. Thirdly, an algorithm is presented to give the procedures for designing the control protocols, in which the feasible time-varying formations of leader's vessels are raised. A series of linear matrix inequalities are solved for obtaining the control parameters. Sufficient conditions for actualising the practical formation-containment tracking are derived. Finally, numerical simulation results reveal the effectiveness of the acquired theories.

A Novel Speech Steganography Mechanism to Securing Data Through Shift Invariant Continuous Wavelet Transform with Speech Activity and Message Detection

Steganography is a technique of concealing secret information within an innocuous-looking carrier signal. Speech steganography has become increasingly important in a variety of applications, including military, satellite, and mobile communications. However, conventional methods have failed to meet the maximum-security requirements, resulting in reduced robustness and imperceptibility performance. In this paper, a novel speech steganography mechanism is proposed to address these issues by using shift invariant continuous wavelet transform (SI-CWT) for data hiding. The message data is hidden in the low-level speech bands using pseudo noise sequences, resulting in a steganography output speech signal. To recover the original speech and message signal, a zero-crossing rate (ZCR)-based speech activity and message detection (SAMD) mechanism is applied on the receiver side. The proposed steganography system is evaluated using various performance metrics, including robustness, imperceptibility, and security. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed system outperforms conventional methods in terms of these metrics, indicating that it is a promising solution for secure speech communication. Additionally, potential limitations and weaknesses of the proposed system are discussed, highlighting the need for further research in this area. Overall, this novel speech steganography mechanism has significant potential for enhancing the security and reliability of speech communication in various applications.
IOT Based Grid Eye Thermal Mapping Gun Security System for Defence Applications

Grid-EYE is a thermal mapping technology by Panasonic Semiconductors, using which embedded devices like Arduino Boards can generate fast the thermal maps of places, without requiring expensive thermal cameras or complicated image processing algorithms. IOT Based GRID-EYE sensor is part of a device which shall detect both the position and the intensity of the heat radiated by the surface of either a single or multiple targets or to utilize a Hot Target Mode (HTM) to track the target with the highest temperature when multiple elements of interest are involved at the same time and also specialized software and GPS Video MMS can be viewed instantly through SMART Phone. In highly critical border areas military personnel cannot monitor all the time. In such areas grid eye sensor system proves highly advantageous and efficient. An autonomous sentry gun system with IOT is implemented using the grid-eye technology which tracks and points the intruder. Grid-Eye Sensor system is interfaced with IOT to control the operating mode of the sensor and to provide a thermal image of the target on the monitoring panel at the control section. This project can accurately sense multiple intruders at a distance up to 5m 16.404ft. The temperature accuracy of the sensed object is maximum when the difference between the surroundings and the object is ±2.5°C or ±4.5°F with a maximum viewing angle of 60 degrees
Collaborative Research: Lagrangian Modeling of Dispersion in the Stable Boundary Layer and Canopy Environments

Abstract : The objective of this research was to improve our understanding of dispersion in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) by extending our Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) to the stable boundary layer (SBL) and to PBLs interacting with vegetation canopies. The LPDM was driven by large-eddy simulations (LESs). For the SBL, dispersion simulations of a weakly stable PBL demonstrated the slow dispersion rate caused by the stable stratification and showed that the LPDM produced plume features in good agreement with observations. These included plume ``tilting'' due to wind direction shear, plume spread, and the downwind concentration distribution. For a neutral PBL with a resolved forest canopy, the LPDM demonstrated enhanced vertical dispersion but reduced effects of directional shear on lateral dispersion by comparison to a reference no-canopy case. More detailed canopy studies were initiated by coupling the LES with a newly developed multi-layer canopy version of the NOAH land-surface model; initial results showed that the modeled canopy-imposed heat source accurately reproduces that obtained from the recent CHATS field experiment.
Anomaly Management Framework And Visualization Approach Of A Firewall

: As we know that firewall are widely emplaced in security apparatus to ensure the security of private networks in most organizations. Basically effectiveness of firewall depends on the quality of policy and its configuration. Nevertheless, the designing and managing its policies are untrustworthy because of its complex nature of configuration as well as the lack of systematic analysis apparatus and tools. This paper represents an anomaly management framework and visualization approach of firewall. We signify the possibility and relevancy of framework by a proof of concept prototype of a visualization which is based on firewall policy analysis tool known as firewall Anomaly Management Environment (FAME). We also introduce FIREMAN, an immobile analysis toolkit for firewall modeling and analysis. By treating firewall configurations as specialized programs.
Cultural Adaptation of Patient Health Questionnaire-9 in Hindi for Use with Patients with Cancer in Community Palliative Care Settings

Objectives: Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in Indian settings is yet not very often used in palliative care with the Hindi-speaking population. The Hindi version of PHQ-9 is available but its cultural adaptation to the Hindi-speaking population in North India receiving palliative care services is required to be tested. PHQ-9 as a depression screening questionnaire may help to identify depression symptoms among patients with cancer. This study aimed to examine the cultural equivalence of PHQ-9 Hindi for use with patients with cancer receiving palliative care services in North India. Material and Methods: Based on the standard methodology of translation and adaptation of the scale, the following process was used: (i) Two focused group discussions with 17 experts working in a cancer palliative care setting, (ii) qualitative interviewing with 11 patients, and (iii) research team review. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and item-wise content analysis was conducted. Results: A few difficult phrases in the original PHQ-9 were ‘dilchaspi’, ‘avasadgrast’, ‘kam urja’, ‘nakaam’, parivar ko neecha dhikhana and ‘ashthir’ which were changed to Kam Mann Lagna, Mann Dukhi hona, kamjori, saksham nahi hain’ ‘asafal’, Parivar ko nirash karna’ and ‘bechain,’ respectively. Two items, namely no. 6 and 8 were changed to shorten the length for appropriately conveying the meaning. Conclusion: Hindi language involves various dialects which change from region to region bringing variations in understanding the meaning of the words. It is recommended that culturally equivalent scales are used in practice and research. PHQ-9 is now culturally adapted for the Hindi-speaking population in North India. PHQ-9 will help identidy depressive symptoms at an early stage. Psychometric testing of PHQ-9 is underway.
DEGRADATION OF ORDINARY CHERNOZEM IN THE SOUTH OF MOLDOVA AND PHYTOTECHNICAL MEASURES TO REMEDY OF THEIR FERTILITY

The existing system of agriculture in the Republic of Moldova led to humus losses, compaction of arable layer and decrease of its resistance to degradation factors. Researches established that only radical corrective factor to cardinal remediate the degraded characteristics of chernozems is that which leading to the formation of this type of soil - steppe vegetation composed by grasses and legumes herbs with fasciculate root system. The chernozems with whole profile, being grassed 15 years in a system without utilization of vegetal aerial mass, recovered 70 percent of humus content in the profile and restore the initial soil typical characteristics. Lucerne with its pivoting root system contributed poorly to remediation the structure and increasing the content of organic matter in soils. Resulting from the fact that in the Moldova is excluded the possibility to cardinal remediation the soil quality status by grassed (0.4 hectares of arable land per capita) has decided to develop and test phytotechnical methods to remedy the soil characteristics without interrupting the production process from agriculture.
The Effect Of High Performance Work Systems On Organizational Citizenship Behavior, With Psychological Well-Being, Organizational Commitment And Job Satisfaction As Intervening Variables

The State Civil Apparatus (ASN) is required to have high performance. High Performance Work Systems (HPWS) can improve organizational and employee performance. This study aims to examine the effect of HPWS on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB); find out how far Psychological Wellbeing (PWB) affects Job Satisfaction; and exploring PWB, Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction as a mediator for the HPWS-OCB relationship with ASN in 42 Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Determination of the sample by purposive sampling, with the criteria of an active civil servant who has worked for at least 1 year. Data collection used a survey, by distributing 33 questionnaires in the google-form via Whatsapp, to 185 respondents in June 2023. Data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The result is that HPWS has a significant positive effect on PWB and organizational commitment. The direct relationship between HPWS-OCB was positive but not significant, PWB was able to fully mediate positive HPWS-OCB. PWB has a significant positive effect on organizational commitment and will increase OCB. HPWS through PWB mediation and organizational commitment has a significant effect on job satisfaction, without HPWS mediation it has no significant effect on job satisfaction. Organizational commitment does not mediate the HPWS-OCB relationship and job satisfaction does not significantly affect OCB. The better government organizations implement HPWS in ASN management, the ASN's OCB will increase and ultimately lead to an increase in excellent service quality and organizational performance.
N CAT FOUR TIMES AS MANY LAMINA I NEURONS PROJECT O THE PARABRACHIAL NUCLEI AND TWICE AS MANY TO HE PERIAQUEDUCTAL

bstract—The spinothalamic tract, and especially its fibers riginating in lamina I, is the best known pathway for transission of nociceptive information. On the other hand, diferent studies have suggested that more lamina I cells project o the parabrachial nuclei (PBN) and periaqueductal gray PAG) than to the thalamus. The exact ratio of the number of amina I projections to PBN, PAG and thalamus is not known, ecause comprehensive studies examining these three proections from all spinal segments, using the same tracers and ounting methods, do not exist. In the present study, the differences in number and disribution of retrogradely labeled lamina I cells in each segent of the cat spinal cord (C1–Coc2) were determined after arge wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxiase (WGA-HRP) injections in either PBN, PAG or thalamus. e estimate that approximately 6000 lamina I cells project to BN, 3000 to PAG and less than 1500 to the thalamus. Of the amina I cells projecting to thalamus or PAG more than 80%, nd of the lamina I-PBN cells approximately 60%, were loated on the contralateral side. In all cases, most labeled amina I cells were found in the upper two cervical segments nd in the cervical and lumbar enlargements. © 2005 IBRO. ublished by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

SOIL COVER CROP, VERMICOMPOST AND SOIL MICROBIAL ACTIVITY IN THE TOMATO PRODUCTION

The combined effect of N, P and K chemical fertilizers with vermicompost was studied in tomato planting, vegetation cover of the soil with Mucuna pruriens and minimal farming; in contrast to the conventional farming system with chemical fertilizers and plastic soil padding, for plant nutrition, measurement of some fruit quality parameters and soil microbial activity from 2007 to 2008. The tomato underwent five treatments in two types of crop management. Results showed similar yields and postharvest fruit yields (firmness and weight loss) and absorption of N, P, K, Ca and Mg by the tomato plants, between conventional farming and the use of vegetation cover, minimum farming and fertilization with vermicompost plus 250 N-55 P-100 K. The fruits from treatment T2 displayed appropriate behavior in firmness and weight loss in the postharvest study, and this result was statistically equal to the fruits of treatment T5 during the study. The M. pruriens plants accumulated nitrogen fixed from the atmosphere and residual nitrogen from the soil in an important amount en its biomass, keeping it available for the tomato. The mychorrhizal colonization in tomato plants and the release of CO2 from the soil were higher with the vegetation cover and vermicompost than the conventional handling of the crop.
The impact of different carriages on soil and trees during skidding in the Romanian forests.

Comprehensive field studies revealed distinct differences in soil structural changes and trees damages by quality and extent, depending on traffic of wheeled or tracked machines. Tracks are more soil protective on slopes than on flat terrain, although their “compaction” level is somewhat lower than for wheels alone. In this paper the results of researches concerning the damages that were made to the remaining trees located near the skidding tracks, regarding the damages made to the soil and to the litter and also with regard to the total surface of the stands affected by skidding operations are presented.
Patterns of practice: a reflection on the development of quantitative/mixed methodologies capturing everyday life related to water consumption in the UK

There is a growing body of research arguing the relevance of practice approaches to understand resource consumption, and to highlight alternative pathways to sustainability. These practice approaches offer an alternative conceptualisation of demand and have been demonstrated largely by qualitative research, particularly in the work on water and energy consumption in the home. However, these historical narratives and qualitative research have not, to date, lead to the development of quantitative or mixed methodologies that could potentially reflect the diversity of performances of practice across populations in a more systematic way. This paper reflects, critically, on one such attempt to scale a practice-based perspective into a quantitative survey on water consumption and practice in homes in the south and South-East of England. The use of quantitative and mixed methodology has substantial potential – from translating practice-based research to policy; developing indictors to track patterns of practices as they change over time; and the exploration of methodologies that reflect the bundling and coordination of practices associated with water use inside and outside the home. The benefits and utility of such a methodological approach are highlighted as cautions and future research directions.
Lingering Impacts on Sleep Following the Daylight Savings Time Transition

Background: The “spring forward” change to Daylight Savings Time (DST) has been epidemiologically linked with numerous health and safety risks in the days following the transition, but direct measures of sleep are infrequently collected in community dwelling individuals. Methods: The Project Baseline Health Study (PBHS), a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal representative U.S. cohort study begin in 2017 launched a Sleep Mission in March 2021 to characterize sleep using patient-reported and wearable device measures, in free-living circumstances during the DST switch. Estimated sleep period duration, subjective restedness and quality, and watch metrics were compared before and after the DST transition during specified timeframes. Results: Of the total PBHS population of 2502 participants, 606 participants received an invitation and 419 participants opted in to the Sleep Mission (69.1%). The transition to DST resulted in both acute and lingering impacts on sleep. Acute effects included a 29.6 minute reduction in sleep period (p=0.01) and lower ratings of how well participants slept, as well as reduced next-day restedness. In the week following the time change, a persistent reduction in restedness scores, and a trend towards a decrease in sleeping heart rate variability were observed. Conclusion: The Daylight Savings Time transition is associated with an acute reduction in sleep period, and lingering impacts on self-reported restedness, as well as a trend towards reduced heart rate variability into the week following the transition. This work adds to a growing understanding of the persistence of impacts on sleep health metrics due to the DST transition.
Edinburgh Research Explorer NADPH oxidase-derived H2O2 subverts pathogen signaling by oxidative phosphotyrosine conversion to PB-DOPA

Strengthening the host immune system to fully exploit its potential as antimicrobial defense is vital in countering antibiotic resistance. Chemical compounds released during bidirectional host-pathogen crosstalk that follows a sensing-response paradigm, can serve as protective mediators. A potent, diffusible messenger is hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), but its consequences on extracellular pathogens are unknown. Here we show that H 2 O 2 , released by the host on pathogen contact, subverts the tyrosine signaling network of a number of bacteria accustomed to low-oxygen environments. This defense mechanism utilizes heme-containing bacterial enzymes with peroxidase-like activity to facilitate phosphotyrosine (p-Tyr) oxidation. An intrabacterial reaction converts p-Tyr to protein-bound 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (PB-DOPA) via a tyrosinyl radical intermediate, thereby altering antioxidant defense and inactivating enzymes involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis and metabolism. Disruption of bacterial signaling by DOPA modification reveals an infection containment strategy that weakens bacterial fitness and could be a blueprint for antivirulence approaches. disruption of p-Tyr signaling. Proteomics data reveal that this interference with p-Tyr signaling occurs frequently in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
