Shape and electric performance improvement of an insulator string using particles swarm algorithm

In this study, a particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm coupled with finite-element method (FEM) is implemented to improve the performance of a cap-and-pin insulator by reducing the value of maximum electric field strength. Two goals are set in this work: (i) optimisation of the tangential electric field distribution and magnitude (which is taken as the objectif function to be minimised) to reduce the risk of flashover due to surface pollution, and (ii) reduction of the creepage distance (by adopting adequate constraints) leading to a reduction of the surface area and consequently a decrease in the insulator weight. The investigation is divided into two parts; first, one-unit insulator is optimised with which a chain is constructed, and its performance compared with the reference insulator string. The second part considers a whole chain of four-unit insulator whose performance is optimised and compared to that of a reference insulator string. The main finding of this work indicates that, if an insulator string is constructed using an optimised cap-and-pin unit, the performance of the so-formed string is also optimised. The optimisation of a complete string leads to practically the same performance as that of a string obtained by assembling optimised insulator units.
IMPACT OF MORTALITY AND LIVE BODY WEIGHT PERFORMANCE IN BROILER CHICKEN ON THE INCOME GENERATION BY SMALL FARMERS IN RURAL ASSAM (INDIA)

The aim of this study was to investigate the disease problem, mortality pattern and live weight performance of broiler chicken flocks raised in the rural farms of Assam and compare the results of current study with the corresponding data obtained from an instructional farm. On the basis of obtained results level of income generation by farmers from the sale proceeds was also determined in this study. The rural farms witnessed higher (17.21%) mortality than that of instructional farm (2.16%). Average live weight performance of birds at a market age of 49 days was 2.34 kg/bird in the rural farms against an average record of 2.79 kg/bird in the instructional farm. Post-mortem examination of dead birds showed that the farms were affected with coccidiosis (44.44%), colibacillosis (22.22%) hydropericardium syndrome (15.55%), gout (13.33%), brooder pneumonia (8.88%) and enteritis (6.67%) of which enteric infections were found to be the major cause of death. Experimental subclinical coccidiosis resulted an average 451.67g less weight gain compared to healthy controls and this also paralleled to the lower performance observed in the rural farms. The farmers were found to incur 15.38% and 13.65% losses of sale proceeds obtained in instructional farm due to higher mortality and lesser weight gain respectively with a total 29.03% income loss. The findings of the study warrant technical support to untrained farmers in the neglected areas of litter management, health care and disease prevention for a better prospect towards improving the farmers’ income.

Evaluating time domain reflectometry and coaxial impedance sensors for soil observations by the U.S. Climate Reference Network

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of two commercial‐grade electromagnetic sensors in measuring soil water content for the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN). One sensor was a 50‐MHz coaxial impedance dielectric sensor (model HydraProbe, Stevens Water Monitoring Systems). The second sensor was a 1‐GHz time domain reflectometry (TDR) sensor (model TDR‐315L, Acclima). There was no substantial difference between both probes in daily mean volumetric soil water content and soil temperature measurements at a 0.1‐m depth in a customized uniform loamy soil testbed in Oak Ridge, TN, from 2016 to 2018, and at select USCRN stations with a variety of soils. However, the TDR‐315L provided more representative soil water content measurements for stations with high‐clay‐content soils than the HydraProbe. These results confirm the necessity of using site‐specific soil properties for soil sensors like the HydraProbe for estimating soil water content in different soil environments. They also suggest that TDR sensors may provide an opportunity to improve USCRN soil moisture measurements in higher‐clay‐content soils.

Production and characterization of modified biochar by corn cob and its ability to absorb phenol

The adsorption performance of KOH modified biochar as adsorbent for phenol in aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of initial pH of the solution, initial concentration of phenol, contact time and temperature on the adsorption capacity of phenol were investigated. Adsorption isotherms, adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic analysis were examined. The results showed that the specific surface area of modified biochar was 487.64m2·g−1, the content of C is 72.06 wt. % and the value of H/C is 0.05, the aromatization degree of modified biochar is very high. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of the modified biochar is 217.06 mg·g−1 at 298 K, which is higher than that of biochar. The adsorption process accords with the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. Thermodynamic analysis shows that adsorption is spontaneous and exothermic.
Exploring the meanings of “Sanitation Well-being” in Tha khlong, Thailand.

OECD defined well-being indicators regarding sanitation, as the presence of toilet/bathroom inside the houses shared among a family. This drew on Sen’s Capability Approach, to evaluate sanitation well-being through people’s perception on: current sanitation practices, improvement and changes that these practices brought to their daily lives and their surrounding environment. Findings from this research showed that the sanitation system involved multiple actors and the community members also applied different approaches to ensure the proper functioning of the sanitation system which was highly influenced by the socio/economic status. Anxiety, Odour, privacy, safety, health and comfort were few themes directly related to sanitation and well-being whereas residence insecurities led people more strained then absence of proper sanitation.

This study aims to determine the effect of financial ratios and corporate social responsibility on stock prices with company size as a moderating variable in Food and Beverage Industry Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The sample method of this study is that the target population of companies that actively publishes CSR during the study period are 11 food and beverage manufacturing sectors companies listed on the Indonesian stock exchange. Testing the proposed hypothesis is to use a simultaneous significant test (F test) and a partial significant test (t test) with the selection of panel data models through the chow and hausman test. The results show that simultaneously leverage, profitability liquidity and corporate social responsibility have a significant effect on the stock prices of the Food and Beverage Industry that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Partially liquidity has a positive and significant effect on stock prices, profitability has a negative and significant effect on stock prices, leverage and corporate social responsibility have no significant effect on stock prices. The company's variable size is able to moderate the variable leverage and liquidity to stock prices and is not able to moderate the variable profitability and corporate social responsibility to the stock prices of the Food and Beverage Industry Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.
MICROBIOLOGICAL SAFETY OF FRUIT JUICES SERVED IN CAFES/RESTURANTS, JIMMA TOWN, SOUTHWEST ETHIOPIA

BACK GROUND: Traditionally, fruit products have been regarded as microbiologically safer than other unprocessed foods. However, many outbreaks of human infections have been associated with the consumption of contaminated fruit juices. The objective of this study was to evaluate the microbiological safety and quality of fruit juices being served in Jimma town, Southwest Ethiopia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The microbiological safety of different fruit juices being served in cafés/ restaurants in Jimma town were assessed based on the isolates API-20E (Analytical Profile Index used to test for twenty substrates to differentiate Enterobacteriaceae) profile from February, 2005 to July, 2006. A total of 90 samples (30 samples each for avocado, papaya and pine-apple), collected from six randomly selected cafés and/or restaurants in Jimma town, were analyzed. In addition, some physicochemical parameters of the juices, such as pH and Titratable acidity were determined following standard procedures. RESULT: The mean aerobic mesophilic bacteria counts (CFU/ml) of avocado, papaya and pine-apples were 8.0 x10 6 , 3.1x10 7 , and 7.9x10 6 , respectively. The counts of yeasts were relatively higher in avocado (4.5x10 5 CFU/ml) and pine-apple (5.0 x10 6 CFU/ml) as compared to that of papaya (6.2x10 3 CFU/ml). The pH and Titratable acidity (TA) of all fruit juices were 4.0-5.84 and 0.08-0.223 (g lactic acid/100g sample), respectively. Pine-apple was more acidic (pH= 4±0.001) than avocado (pH= 5.84 ±0.14) and papaya (5.23±0.02). The dominant bacterial groups isolated from the fruit juices included two Klebsella , three Enterobacter , and three Serratia species. CONCLUSION: The microbial loads of most of the fruits juices were higher than the specifications set for fruit juices sold in the Gulf region and other parts of the world. To the authors’ knowledge, there is no specification set for the permissible level of microbes in fruit juices being served in Ethiopia. As dominant isolates were colonies of organisms, the poor hygienic practice of the fruit juice handlers and lack of sound knowledge of using disinfectant during processing, besides the conducive physicochemical profiles of the fruit juices, might have contributed to the high microbial load. Thus, high level of workers hygiene should be enforced and the use of disinfectant better practiced to improve the microbial quality, safety, and shelf-life of the final product.

The main objective of the study is to identify a set of factors with regard to online training environment that may lead to increased performance and satisfaction for online trainees. Around 722 academic counselors who will join the Academic counselors training programme (ACT-Online) of IGNOU and around 20 instructors/evaluators involved in the training programme will form the sample of the study. Two scales (Grasha & Reichmann’s Student Learning Styles Scale, Attitude Towards E-learning Scale) and three questionnaires were used (i) to study the perception of the participants and their level of satisfaction, (ii) to assess the performance of the participants before the training, (iii) to assess the performance of the participants after the training will be used for the study. All the questionnaires and scales will be administered online. The instructors/evaluators will be interviewed by the researcher in face-to-face situation. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses methods (Mean, SD, ANOVA, Correlation Matrix, Principle Component Factor analyses etc.) will be used. The data will be analysed using SPSS. The findings of the study would help the university to find out the effectiveness of the online training and also to improve the quality of ongoing and future online training programmes. The researchers in ODL, teachers, administrators, policy makers and others who want to deliver training programmes through online mode would also be benefited from the findings of this study.
Geometric inequalities and advances in the Ribe program

In Chapter 1 we show that not every metric space embeds coarsely into an Alexandrov space of nonpositive curvature, thus answering a question of Gromov (1993). In Chapter 2 we introduce a metric invariant called diamond convexity and show that a Banach space (X, ‖ · ‖X) has diamond convexity q if and only if X admits an equivalent q-uniformly convex norm. We also study the relation of diamond convexity with other metric invariants, such as Markov convexity and metric cotype. In Chapter 3 we use metric invariants introduced in the context of the Ribe program to derive nonembeddability results for subsets of Lp spaces. In Chapter 4 we prove that the dependence on the dimension in Pisier’s inequality for superreflexive targets (X, ‖ · ‖X) is O ( (log n)α(X) ) for some α(X) ∈ [0, 1), thus providing the first improvement of Pisier’s original O(log n) bound (1986) for this class of spaces. In Chapter 5 we undertake a systematic investigation of dimension independent properties of vector valued functions with bounded spectrum defined on the discrete cube. Our approach relies on input from discrete harmonic analysis, complex analysis and classical approximation theory. In Chapter 6 we use the method of Chapter 5 to derive the first dimension independent extension of Freud’s inequality (1971). In Chapter 7 we introduce a probabilistic technique relying on mixtures of Gaussian measures to address problems in information theory and convex geometry, for instance proving extensions of the B-inequality and the Gaussian correlation inequality. In Chapter 8 we use a different probabilistic approach to derive the sharp constants in the Khintchine inequality for vectors uniformly distributed on the unit ball of `p , thus answering a question of Barthe, Guédon, Mendelson and Naor (2005), and solve a variant of the classical moment problem for symmetric log-concave distributions on the real line. In Chapter 9 we identify the extremal block hyperplane sections of spaces of the form `p (X), where p ∈ (0, 2] and X is a quasi-Banach space which admits an isometric embedding into Lp. In Chapter 10 we show that the (n, k) Bernoulli–Laplace urn model exhibits mixing time cutoff after n 4k log n steps when k = o(n).

Screening chilli genotypes for whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.) resistance: A vector for chilli leaf curl virus

Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) are one of the most important insect-pests of chilli worldwide mainly due to their role in transmission of Begomoviruses like Chilli Leaf Curl Virus (ChL CV). In this study, selected chilli genotypes (N = 125) including wild and cultivated species were evaluated against whitefly using free choice assays and parameters like number of whiteflies settled and nymphal population (both early and late stage) were considered to identify less preferred genotypes. The genotypes were also evaluated for plant traits namely trichome density, leaf colour and biochemical content (phenols and flavonoids). The results showed that the whitefly population and nymphal density were significantly different among the genotypes evaluated. Whitefly settlers and their nymphal density were positively correlated with the leaf non-glandular trichomes. The chilli genotypes viz., IHR 4283, IHR 4329, IHR 4300, IHR 4321, IHR 4338 recorded the less numbers of whiteflies as well as nymphs and grouped as the least preferred genotypes. On the contrary, the genotypes IHR 4586 A-1, IHR 4588 and IHR 4330 recorded the highest numbers of whiteflies. The role of plant traits in whitefly resistance in chilli was discussed in detail.
