IMPROVEMENT THE BIVO4 PHOTOANODE FABRICATED FOR WATER OXIDATION BY ELECTRODEPOSITION TECHNIQUE

Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) technique for water oxidation technologies could become important components in the renewable energy sector. BiVO4 has been receiving attention for applications in PEC cell for O2 evolution with high photoelectrocatalytic activity and the advantage of visible radiation absorption. The simple and high efficiency BiVO4 thin film fabrication for large scale is essential for scaling up to the industrial application. This research describes the BiVO4 thin films fabrication on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) by electrodeposition technique as simple, fast and suitable for scaling up of electrode preparation. Cyclic voltammetry deposition was developed by studying the effect of potential range, scan rate, number of scan, temperature, and pH of the solution to enhance the photoelectrocatalytic activity of water oxidation under visible light irradiation. The fabricated FTO/BiVO4 thin films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The developed FTO/BiVO4 present the photocatalytic activities for water oxidation improvement more than 10 times when compared with the previous spin coating techniques. Therefore, this developing method shows that the high efficiency, fast, simple and suitable for scaling up able to approach for water oxidation in the industrial application.
Context and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge: A Content Analysis

Context is an important part of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), but there is evidence teachers’ context has not been included in descriptions, explanations, or operationalizations of TPACK among publications that apply the TPACK framework (Kelly, 2010). Furthermore, when context is included, there is evidence for the widespread variation in meaning when context is included in descriptions of TPACK (Porras-Hernandez & Salinas-Amescua, 2013). The purpose of this study is to establish the inclusion and meaning of context in prior TPACK research, building upon prior work by 1) attending to the needs that followed Kelly’s (2010) prior research, 2) attending to needs that followed Salinas-Amescua and Porras-Hernandez’s (2013) prior research, and 3) examining the most recent empirical TPACK publications. This study will contribute to the development of theories of how context and contextual factors affect the ability to teach with technology as understood through TPACK.
Spallation recoil II: Xenon evidence for young SiC grains

Abstract— We have determined the recoil range of spallation xenon produced by irradiation of Ba glass targets with ˜1190 and ˜268 MeV protons, using a catcher technique, where spallation products are measured in target and catcher foils. The inferred range for 126Xe produced in silicon carbide is ˜0.19 μm, which implies retention of ˜70% for 126Xe produced in “typical” presolar silicon carbide grains of 1 μm size. Recoil loss of spallation xenon poses a significantly smaller problem than loss of the spallation neon from SiC grains. Ranges differ for the various Xe isotopes and scale approximately linearly as function of the mass difference between the target element, Ba, and the product. As a consequence, SiC grains of various sizes will have differences in spallation Xe composition. In an additional experiment at ˜66 MeV, where the recoil ranges of 22Na and 127Xe produced on Ba glass were determined using γ‐spectrometry, we found no evidence for recoil ranges being systematically different at this lower energy. We have used the new data to put constraints on the possible presolar age of the SiC grains analyzed for Xe by Lewis et al. (1994). Uncertainties in the composition of the approximately normal Xe component in SiC (Xe‐N) constitute the most serious problem in determining an age, surpassing remaining uncertainties in Xe retention and production rate. A possible interpretation is that spallation contributions are negligible and that trapped 124Xe/126Xe is ˜5% lower in Xe‐N than in Q‐Xe. But also for other reasonable assumptions for the 124Xe/126Xe ratio in Xe‐N (e.g., as in Q‐Xe), inferred exposure ages are considerably shorter than theoretically expected lifetimes for interstellar grains. A short presolar age is in line with observations by others (appearance, grain size distribution) that indicate little processing in the interstellar medium (ISM) of surviving (crystalline) SiC. This may be due to amorphization of SiC in the ISM on a much shorter time scale than destruction, with amorphous SiC not surviving processing in the early solar system. A large supply of relatively young grains may be connected to the proposed starburst origin (Clayton 2003) for the parent stars of the mainstream SiC grains.
Automatic fuzzy decision network transformation

Among the various types of decision support systems, decision-theoretic models and rule-based systems have gained considerable attraction. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages. Decision-theoretic models dispose of a sound mathematical basis and comfortable knowledge engineering tools. Rule-based systems provide an efficient execution architecture and represent knowledge in an explicit, intelligible way. In this paper, we consider fuzzy rule-based systems as a special type of condensed decision model. We outline a knowledge compilation scheme which allows one to transform a decision-theoretic model into a fuzzy rule base and, hence, to combine the advantages of both approaches.
Analysis of the development of the unemployment rate in Lithuania: application of the SVAR model

The paper analyses the dynamics of unemployment in Lithuania, using a structural vector autoregressive model (sVAR) with long-term restrictions proposed by Fabiani et al. (2001). In accordance with it, the unemployment rate is predetermined by economic shocks, some of them with long-term effects (structural) and some with short-term ones (cyclical). The greater part of changes in unemployment in the period of 2002 to 2014 were predetermined by cyclical shocks (of productivity and labour supply and demand). The cyclical unemployment, peaked in the years 2010 to 2011, amounted to ca. 6%. On the other hand, structural unemployment is slow to change, in the years of the economic boom (2006 to 2007) it amounted to ca. 8% (at the time, the cyclical unemployment was negative and the economy encountered overheating, while in 2014 structural unemployment was slightly higher and amounted to ca. 11%).
Shared intelligent optimum route selection through traffic management system in VANET– SIRS

A Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) consists of the vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to roadside communication. Growing the density of the vehicles on the road causes flooding while transferring packets from a source to one or multiple destinations over a VANET. However, increasing vehicles on road may causes a problem such as redundancy, congestion, collision and increasing delay though receiving emergency warnings. As long as reliable and proficient multi-hop broadcast in vehicular ad hoc networks is challenging one. In the proposed system commence a new protocol which uses the character of elegant route establishment and selection method for transfer information to the destination (dst) with minimum redundancy, delay and highest bits per second delivery. In some environment vehicles are deployed in a dense manner, and it can move at a high speed. Adjacent Access Points (APs) on the road find out route information from their past report gatherings which use a fuzzy logic to select routing conclusion. This approach consists of isolating the whole network area into clusters. Based on which an optimized route is chosen using the input parameters as vehicle density, distance from the adjacent AP, vehicle mobility, receiving signal strength and delay should be jointly measured in the relay node selection. Though, these computation conflicts with each other depend on vehicle mobility. Hence, we employ fuzzy logic to handle this imprecise information to select forwarding vehicles by mutually taking into account of vehicle distance (d), mobility (v) and Receiving Signal Strength (RSS). The selected vehicle can provide an assure data forwarding with a high competence. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated on the metrics such as end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio by varying vehicle speed
Metallo-dielectric nanolaser coupled to an InP-membrane waveguide

A design for a metallo-dielectric nanolaser with electrical injection and coupled to an InP-membrane waveguide is presented. The structure supports a dielectric lasing mode near 1.55 µm with a high Q-factor due to a reflective metallic cladding. Threshold gain levels below 1000 cm-1 are predicted, which are compatible with room temperature operation under a current injection of a few tens of microamperes. Due to an efficient coupling to the waveguide, it represents a promising laser structure for ultra-compact photonic integrated circuits.
Honey is the Best Medicine in Ancient and Modern Era

Antimicrobial operators are fundamentally basic in lessening the overall weight of irresistible sicknesses. In any case, as protected pathogens make and spread, the reasonability of the counter contamination operators is diminished. This kind of bacterial imperiousness to the antimicrobial administrators speaks to an extreme hazard to general prosperity, and for an extensive variety of antimicrobial, including the noteworthy last resort calms, the frequencies of resistance are growing around the world. Honey has been known since old time for its remedial and restorative utilize. Honey has cell reinforcement and antibacterial substance that restrain development of extensive variety of microscopic organisms and growths which causes different abscesses and distinctive contamination. Honey has blend of a wide range of phytochemical and mineral. It is great wellspring of various sorts of corrosive, vitamin and blend. Many reviews demonstrate that nectar indicates hemostatic, antiinflammatory properties.
Vegetation controls on variably saturated processes between surface water and groundwater and their impact on the state of connection

The vadose zone plays an important role in surface water–groundwater interaction and exerts strong influences on biogeochemical, ecological, and hyporheic processes. It is also the presence of an unsaturated zone that controls the state of connection between surface water and groundwater. Despite recent advances on how hydrogeological variables affect surface water–groundwater interactions, there is limited understanding of the hydroclimatic effects of precipitation and evapotranspiration. More specifically, there is a need for a physically based understanding on the changes that may occur in response to changes in vegetation. While it may seem qualitatively obvious that the presence of vegetation can cause an unsaturated zone to develop underneath a riverbed and alter the state of connection, it has so far not been demonstrated quantitatively. Also, the influence of variables such as root extinction depth, topography, and the influence of land clearance has so far not been explored. In this study, fully coupled, physically based 2‐D transient homogeneous models were used to simulate the impact of land clearance and revegetation on the state of connection of a perennial river system. The simulations showed that the presence of vegetation can create an unsaturated zone between a river and an aquifer and affect the state of connection and that the removal of deep‐rooted vegetation from a catchment may have a significant impact on the state of connection as well as the condition of the water resource.
The effects of remittances on poverty and inequality: Evidence from rural southern Morocco

In this paper, we examine the effect of migrants’ remittances on poverty and inequality. The survey data were collected in Morocco, in the rural areas of the region Souss-Massa-Draa. By applying an original approach, we estimate the counterfactual income of remittance-recipient households corresponding to a hypothetical value of its average income calculated for a scenario without remittances; this is then compared with its current income. We find that the poverty rate and the vulnerability of non-poor households are significantly dropped due to remittances. Our findings also suggest that remittance inflows have increased income inequality compared to the no-migration counterfactual situation.
Assessment of the nutritional knowledge and nutrient Intake of lactating women and its impact on body mass index

The study was done to assess the nutritional knowledge and nutrients intake among lactating women. The total sample size was 151 lactating women selected randomly from those attending the Breastfeeding clinic at the center for social and preventive medicine (CSPM). The results revealed that obesity was the dominant feature in 47.7% of cases, while overweight and normal weight constituted 26.5% and 25.8% respectively. The majority of the women had very good nutrition knowledge (77.5%), while 22.5% had a good knowledge. 76.2% women were at risk of hunger and 23.8 were food secure. Poor maternal dietary quality may have implications for both mother and child, and socioeconomic position and nutritional knowledge are likely to be important. Effective interventions to support mothers to achieve healthy diets for themselves and their families are needed. Lactation period is an opportunity to increase awareness of the mother toward healthy nutritional practices. Achievement and maintenance of good dietary habits is expected to duplicate the benefit of health outcomes when mothers become models for their children and their families. Nutrition education for mothers should be provided in the all health and PHC centers that deal with breastfeeding mothers. It also important to increase awareness of lactating mother's and educate them about the quality of diet through mass media.
Innovation Strategy Maximizing by Deployment of Elements of Knowledge Management in Public Organizations

The organizations need activities to create and manage the knowledge as a capital. The modern companies have advanced technologies and need to achieve, manage and apply the knowledge and information in order to improve efficiency, better services for the customers, managing the competition which is accompanied by permanent changes. The present research studies the relationship between the components of managing the knowledge toward maximizing the innovation in state organizations. The method is descriptive of preparation kind. 113 people, 87 men and 26 women participated in this research. The stability of the questionnaire used in this research is 0.84 which is obtained from Chronbach’s alpha. The results of the binominal, independent T test and analyzing the variance demonstrated that the four components of managing the knowledge which include creation, achievement, conversion and applying the knowledge are effective for the innovation process. In addition, regarding the sexuality and working experience, there is no meaningful difference to affect the innovation process by managing the knowledge. But regarding the education level, there is a meaningful difference.
Mycorrhizal fungi increase coffee plants competitiveness against Bidens pilosa interference

RESUMO Mycorrhizae provide several benefits to coffee plants. This study evaluated whether these benefits influence the damage caused by the Bidens pilosa competition with coffee seedlings. A randomized blocks design was used, with treatments established in a 2 x 3 factorial scheme (presence and absence of B. pilosa interference in non-inoculated control or plants inoculated with either Claroideoglomus etunicatum or Dentiscutata heterogama). Coffee seedlings were inoculated with fungi spores and developed for 120 days. Then, they were subjected to the interference of B. pilosa for more 120 days, when data were collected for growth traits, mycorrhizal colonization, dry matter and foliar nutrient concentrations in coffee plants. Dry matter and nutrient contents in B. pilosa plants were also evaluated. Inoculation provided better growth and nutrition of coffee plants. The competition with B. pilosa reduced mycorrhizal colonization, height, leaf area, leaf and stem dry mass, root dry weight, number of reproductive branches and levels of P and Fe in the coffee plants. However, the harmful effect of the interference was lower in inoculated coffee plants. The dry mass of B. pilosa decreased under the interference of inoculated coffee plants. The inoculation of C. etunicatum and D. heterogama in Arabica coffee seedlings increases the competitiveness of the crop against B. pilosa interference.
Exemplars or Beliefs? Implications of Representational Differences on Brand Evaluations Across Cultures

EXTENDED ABSTRACT In an era of increasing globalization, the importance of understanding how consumers across cultures characterize a brand cannot be overemphasized. Successful branding strategies in foreign markets require sufficient understanding of the impact of different types of brand associations in consumers' purchase decision in each culture. However, no research in the brand literature has tackled this issue. The question whether different types of brand associations are differentially accessible and important in different cultures remains unanswered. This paper proposes to fill this void in the literature.
Physiological Mechanisms of Homing Ability in Sockeye Salmon: From Behavior to Molecules Using a Lacustrine Model

A number of studies have investigated the amazing abilities of salmon to migrate long distances from the ocean to their natal streams for spawning, but much remains unknown because of the difficulties in following the whole life cycle, especially the oceanic migration. Kokanee Oncorhynchus nerka (lacustrine sockeye salmon), offer promise as systems for studying the physiological mechanisms of homing ability in salmon. Three types of physiological study, from behavior to molecules, were conducted using Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu, Hokkaido, Japan, as model “oceans” and are reviewed here. The first study examined homing behavior of mature sockeye salmon in Lake Toya using ultrasonic tracking systems, testing for use of visual cues and magnetic orientation. Visual cues, but not magnetic orientation, appeared to be important in straight homing behavior. The second study examined the effect of hormonal controlling mechanisms, in relation to sexual differences, on homing duration (the time required to home) and homing accuracy during the spawning season in Lake Shikotsu. Administering gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog shortened homing duration. The third study examined the olfactory discriminating ability of home stream odorants using a twochoice test tank. Sockeye salmon exhibited preferential upstream selective movement toward artificial home stream water that had been prepared to mimic the composition of amino acids and related substance of the home stream. These results demonstrate the suitability of the lacustrine model for studying the physiological mechanisms of homing ability in sockeye salmon.
Get FIT for the new year: a review of the role of faecal immunochemical test for haemoglobin in patients with symptoms of colorectal disease

Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is high and whilst the role of colonoscopy in diagnosing CRC in symptomatic individuals is undisputed, there is a need for reliable rule-out criteria to alleviate the burden on the colonoscopy service. Overlap of symptoms that it is often difficult to filter significant colorectal disease from non-significant disease; hence clinical examination needs to be supplemented by further investigation. Biomarkers for CRC have been evaluated in the literature and the faecal immunochemical test for haemoglobin (FIT) is a promising a simple, inexpensive and reproducible tool in both the primary and the secondary care setting. Whilst the value of FIT in CRC screening has been long-established, more recent work has focused on its role in the patient presenting with symptoms of colorectal disease. Negative predictive value of FIT for CRC in patients presenting with symptoms has been shown in the literature to be 100%, with FIT-positive subjects carrying as high as a 60% probability of having CRC. When utilised in a clinical context, and with implementation of safety-netting, FIT is a robust and reliable tool in the patient who presents with symptoms of colorectal disease. FIT-negative, symptomatic patients are unlikely to have significant colonic disease and persisting symptoms should be investigated with cross-sectional imaging instead of colonoscopy.
Definition and Validation of a Business IT Alignment Method for Enterprise Governance Improvement in the Context of Processes Based Organizations

These days, it is remarkable to note the growing of interest in professional responsibility. Specifically, the responsibility a person commits to when he or she performs a task. Based on a review of research currently performed in the field of policy (from corporate to technical ones), we observe that the perception of responsibility has often been limited to a combination of rights and obligations. In addition, we are seeing a re-emergence in business (for example, in the financial sector) of a belief that business ethics foundation can be improved and that a renewed focus in this area would help to prevent future breakdowns in the system. With regard to improving business/IT alignment and corporate ICT governance, it becomes increasingly important to define a commonly accepted personal responsibility model that embodies important and well-known concepts like accountability, capability and commitment. Moreover, because responsibility constitutes a fundamental notion of management theory, it is likewise identified as a meaningful bridge toward organizational artifacts. Exploiting process-based approach to define policy seems to offer new research opportunities since process-based organization becomes a continuous widely spread structure.
Fuzzy Based Congestion Control for Backpressure Routing Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks

The main aim of this study is to detect congestion and provide efficient route recovery mechanism using back pressure technique. In this study, we propose a fuzzy based congestion control and backpressure routing technique in wireless sensor networks. In the Fuzzy based congestion control technique, Fuzzy logic decision model is used to estimate the congestion status of each node based on the parameters number of contenders, buffer occupancy percentage of parent nodes and traffic load. In cluster based backpressure routing, clusters are formed and cluster heads are elected based on the congestion status of the nodes. By simulation results, we show that the proposed algorithm reduces the overhead and increases the routing efficiency.
Simulation and Experiment study of ball defects of a two rotors-ball bearing-gear coupling system

A model of a two rotors-ball bearing-gear coupling systems which considering ball defects on bearing was established. In this model the meshing force of gear coupling and ball defects on bearing was considered. A test facility was constructed to verify the simulation results. After simulation and experiment, it was found that there are sideband frequencies beside VC frequency and its multiple frequencies can be found in the faulted rotor system in the spectrum. From the acceleration signal of experiment, it was found the signal of the bearing fault performs as impacts in the high frequency range without any patterns. The characteristics of ball defects of bearing on a two rotors-ball bearing-gear coupling systems were analyzed. It can help analyze the stability of the system and the fault characteristic of ball bearing.
