Synopsis--The paper reviews the SURFACE FORCES which control the properties of DISPERSIONS of PARTICLES smaller than about 11.tm in diameter. Distinction must be made between processes of DEPOSITION of such particles on to solid substrates and their subsequent removal; the latter is a more complicated problem because of deformation of the materials at points of contact, the extreme closeness of the surfaces there, and the possible formation of chemical bonds. The theory of deposition is closely similar to the theory of colloid stability, with allowance being made for 'HETEROCOAGULATION'. The only modifications required are for (a) the shape factor, and (b) the kinetics of collision, both of which are readily treated. The principal surface forces recognized in colloidal systems include: (i) the London-van der Waals 'body forces' (generally attractive); (ii) electrical double layer forces; these may be attractive or repulsive, depending on the signs of the potentials on particles and substrate, and are often of relatively long range; (iii) 'Steric hindrance' by simple surfactants; (iv) 'protective colloid' action of adsorbed, solvated, macromolecules; (v) adhesive 'bridging' by adsorbed macromolecules at low surface coverage (as with polymeric flocculants). Explicit formulae for (i) and (ii) are employed in the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory and several significant developments have been made recently. Schematic formulae for (iii) and (iv) have been given, but (v) has not yet been treated quantitatively. Experimental testing of the theory of deposition requires control of the flux of particles up to a surface, and means of studying deposition and coagulation. The rotating disc technique provides a definitive method.
Effects of Vanadium-containing Slag Calcium Roasting Conditions on Leaching Rate of Vanadium

Based on the analysis of reaction mechanism of vanadium-containing slag(V2O3 8.07%) calcium roasting process,the effects of various factors on vanadium leaching rate were investigated by means of calcium roasting coupled with acid leaching.The results showed that various calcium vanadates namely CaV2O6,Ca3V2O8,CaV3O7 would form between V2O5 and CaO at 600-900℃. The acid leaching of roasted slag indicated that the mass ratio of CaO to V2O3 in the roasted slag played an important role in the roasting process.Vanadium leaching rate increased from 55.3% to 69.2% when the ratio was from 0.48 to 1.125,while the rate decreased when the ratio exceeded 1.125. When the roasting temperature increased from 750 to 825℃,the leaching rate from 56.3% to 69.7%. However,the slag roasted the temperature higher than 825℃ lead to the decrease of leaching rate.Vanadium leaching rate increased with the roasting time.The maximum rate was achieved when the roasting time was 2 h.With longer roasting time,the slag reacted further,leading to the decrease of vanadium leaching rate.

The Impact of Government and Major Customers on Firm’s Sustainable Supply Chain Management

In the context of the Chinese government’s strategy for sustainable development, this paper studies the impact of government and major customers on firm’s sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). Drawing the data of 234 public manufacturing enterprises from CSMAR database, the results suggest that the impact of government and major customers on SSCM perform differently among China’s three economic regions. Specifically, in Eastern region, the government has significant impact on SSCM, the impact of firm’s administrative connection is negative, while the impact of government policies and regulations is positive. Major customers have significant impact on SSCM in Western region. Specifically, the short-term effect of major customers is negatively related to SSCM. While the long-term effect of major customers is in the opposite order, indicating that long-term and stable supply chain relationships with high customer concentration can promote enterprises’ SSCM level and short-term cooperation behavior with high customer concentration will hinder the implementation of SSCM.
Role of Pediococcus acidilactici J9 in Decreasing the Occurrence of Gastritis Caused by H.pylori Infection and Two-week Repeated-dose Oral Toxicity Study in Mice

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is an important pathogen that causes chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer, and is related to the development of gastric carcinoma. Several chemicals, including antibiotics, have been used to eradicate H.pylori. However, more studies are yet requred to accomplish a sufficient therapy. Pediococcus acidilactici J9 were studied for inhibition of binding of H.pylori binding to human gastric cell lines. This study was performed in order to investigate the repeated-dose toxicity of Pediococcus acidilactici J9 in male and female mice.Results: C57BL/6 male and female Mus musculus were divided into four groups (n = 10 in each group). Pediococcus acidilactici J9 was administered daily by oral injection of vehicle control at dosage levels to a low-dose group (500mg/kg/day), middle-dose group (1000mg/kg/day), and high-dose group (2000mg/kg/day) for two weeks. After 14 days of exposure, the blood biochemistry and hematology were investigated, along with a histopathology exam. There were no bacterial-related deaths or abnormal clinical signs in either gender of mouse. The data was observed during the period in terms of body weight, food, intake, and water consumption. Also, no alterations in organ weights upon administration of Pediococcus acidilactici J9 alone were observed.Conclusions: These results suggest that the oral application of Pediococcus acidilactici J9, up to a dosage level of 2,000 mg/kg/day, causes no adverse effects in both male and female mice. Pediococcus acidilactici J9 inhibits the adhesion of H.pylori to AGS gastric cancer cells. When used as probiotics, Pediococcus acidilactici J9 may help decrease the occurrence of gastritis and reduce the risk of H.pylori infection with promising safety issues.
SIMULAÇÃO BASEADA EM AGENTES PARA AVALIAÇÃO DE INTERVENÇÕES NÃO-FARMACOLÓGICAS PARA O COMBATE À COVID-19

This paper proposes an agent-based simulation model to assess the impacts of different non-pharmacological interventions for coping and controlling the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Policies such as social isolation and testing for the detection of infected subjects are studied, considering the probabilistic proﬁles of transmission, morbidity, and mortality. The simulated scenarios are based on real data available in the literature, and the outputs of the model are used to compare the performance of the alternatives, from the perspective of the total infected, the basic reproductive number, the number of deaths and, the whole epidemic time. As a result, it was clear that horizontal social distancing is useful for combating the disease, while the vertical social distancing, did not perform satisfactorily. The early exit from the state of isolation or its relaxation, as well as the opening of borders, were the main obstacles to contain the disease.

Multireference Frame Based Open-Phase Fault Modeling and Control for Asymmetrical Six-Phase Interior Permanent Magnet Motors

Multireference frame based asymmetric six-phase interior permanent magnet motor modeling and control strategy under single open-phase fault are investigated in this article. The motor modeling under healthy operation is firstly established based on a dual dq-axis synchronous rotating frame. With this dual dq-axis frame, the motor modeling considering the magnetic saturation effect under open-phase fault has been derived. By introducing a dual-direction rotating frame, the stator current under single open-phase fault can be treated as the sum of a positive current sequence and a negative current sequence. With this dual-direction rotating frame, the two current sequences can be transformed into two dc components for fault-tolerant operation. Fault-tolerant control schemes with maximum torque per ampere for copper loss minimization and torque maximization are developed, respectively. Finally, the validity of the proposed modeling and control are evaluated by experiments under both steady and transient scenarios.
An Effective True-Amplitude Gaussian Beam Migration via Illumination Compensation

Summary Conventional migrations are apt to structure imaging, but often incapable of generating true-amplitude subsurface image. We propose a true-amplitude Gaussian beam migration (GBM) method under the framework of seismic illumination compensation. A novel scheme based on the GBM is developed to estimate the point spread functions, with which the illumination compensation can be efficiently implemented in the local wave-number domain. The total computational cost of the proposed true-amplitude imaging includes one Born modelling process and two conventional GBM processes, which is more efficient than the true-amplitude imaging using least squares migration which requires multiple iterations. Numerical examples using synthetic data demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.
Dimensions of general psychological distress and age as the predictors of procrastination in university students

The aim of the study is to examine whether depression, anxiety, stress and age are significant predictors of procrastination. Procrastination can be defined as the intentional postponement of the beginning or the completion of a task or job, leaving it for later, despite the knowledge of the negative consequences of such an act. The assumption was that with a higher degree of depression, anxiety and stress, the degree of general procrastination would be higher, and that, with higher age, the degree of procrastination would be lower. The sample consisted of 338 students of both sexes (282 female), the average age of 23.53. The following instruments were used: The General Procrastination Questionnaire (GPS: Lay, 1986), Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21: Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), and Questionnaire on socio-demographic data designed for the purposes of this research. Standard multiple regression analysis was used for data analysis. Data were collected during the state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and hence the paper also presents the findings on the degree of general psychological distress and procrastination in students. The results show that, in the female subsample, only depression is a significant predictor that explains 6% of the variance of procrastination (ß = 0.36, p <0.01). This implies that, in female students, depression, including sadness, hopelessness, devaluation of themselves and their lives, strengthens procrastination, but also vice versa. The results of the research did not confirm the initial assumption that the older the students were, the better they knew how to cope with procrastination.
CHAT-BOT: Una alternativa de comunicación automatizada en la externalización de procesos de negocios (BPO)

Recently, companies are using their human resources and infrastructure in processes that are repetitive and systematic, generating an increase in operating costs. Other processes, such as drive bussines value, require more attention to compete in markets that are at the vanguard of innovation and the global trend of the sectors of the economy. For this reason, in this chapter we present the results of the process structuring of Chat-Bots (CB) as an alternative of automated communication in the business process outsourcing (BPO). For the design of the research, a case study methodology on a credit card application was proposed, where a tool based on artificial intelligence (AI) models was used, consolidating a proposal through DialogFlow, without requiring specialized knowledge in programming. Finally, the possibilities for specialized and far-reaching developments of a more “human” CB through neural networks or through deep learning (Deep Learning) are raised.

A tanulmány a környezeti Kuznets-görbe-hipotézis tesztelésével vizsgálja a gazdasági növekedés emissziós következményét. A szerző az idősorok eltérő integráltsági rendje miatt általános autoregresszív osztott késleltetett (autoregressive distributed lag, ARDL) modellt alkalmaz. Ennek eredményeként rövid és hosszú távon is elérte Magyarország azt a kritikus jövedelmi szintet, amely felett a gazdasági növekedés nem fokozza a szén-dioxid- (CO2-) kibocsátást. Az alapmodell fordított U-alakú, míg az energetikai, pénzügyi és demográfiai makrofolyamatokkal bővített modell fordított N-alakú görbét ír le; ez utóbbit az impulzusválasz-függvények is igazolják. A CO2-kibocsátást a villamosenergia-felhasználás, az urbanizáció és a pénzügyi fejlettség is jelentősen befolyásolja. A varianciadekompozíció szerint az emisszió alakulásában a gazdasági növekedésnek és a villamosenergia-felhasználásnak van legnagyobb szerepe.
Endocrine disrupting chemicals vs longevity in the COVID-19 era: Public health implications

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a controversial topic within scientific, regulatory, socio-economic, and public health circles. Nonetheless, every community's physical environment is currently under siege from various EDCs, many of which are still unknown. EDCs affect the normal function of the endocrine, neurological, and immune systems, consequently diminishing successful development, reproductive adulthood, and decreasing survival. Beyond any doubt, adverse effects of EDCs are a consequence of multiple everyday exposures to hundreds of chemicals in unknown environmental doses such as pesticides, insecticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, brominated flame retardants, and parabens. Considering that thousands of other known endocrine disruptors fly under the radar of scientific and medical communities due to existing methodological pitfalls, the situation is quite precarious. In 2012, the World Health Organization published a report emphasizing that EDCs are a major and emerging global public health threat. The combined power of informed consumers, industry innovations, and government regulations is the driving force in this fight. Therefore, research advancements, public health infrastructure, and environmental protection agencies are the fundamental pillars in combating the ever-growing issue of EDCs.

Fish mortality due to cyanobacterial bloom in freshwater pond, Cochin, Kerala

Present study revealed the cause of mass mortality of fishes and color variations of micro algal bloom observed in fresh water pond of Udayathumvathil Sreekrishna Swami Temple, Cochin, Kerala. Monitoring of water quality and phytoplankton abundance was carried out from selected stations during the period of study. Water quality parameters such as nitrate, phosphate and ammonia were observed in higher concentration that normal level directs towards phytoplankton bloom formation. Dissolved oxygen level below 4mg/l was observed which are lethal to aquatic fauna. Among the phytoplankton species, Cyanobacterial density dominated over other beneficial microalgae with a maximum cell density of 2.74×10 cells/ml. Two species of Cyanobacteria such as Aphanocapsa sp and Microcystis sp constituted 60.91 and 33.98 per cent of total phytoplankton abundance in the study area. The fish mortality was probably caused either by oxygen deficiency or toxins secreted by Cyanobacteria or by combination of both.
Library construction of stereochemically diverse isomers of spirooliganin: their total synthesis and antiviral activity†

The construction of libraries of stereoisomers of natural products serves as an important approach to investigating the correlation between the stereostructure and biological activity. However, the total synthesis and isomerzation of polycyclic scaffolds with multiple chrial centers are rare. Spirooliganin (1), a new skeleton natural product isolated from the plant Illicium oligandrum, was structurally characterized by comprehensive analysis of NMR spectroscopic data and ECD which revealed an unprecedented 5–6–6–6–7 polycyclic framework with six chiral centers. Here we report a 17-step total synthesis to prepare a library of stereochemically diverse isomers of spirooliganin, including 16 diastereoisomers and 16 regioisomers. In addition to a regioselective hetero-Diels–Alder cycloaddition, the synthetic strategy involves a photo-induced stereoselective Diels–Alder reaction, which gives only the abnormal trans-fused product as rationalized by density functional theory calculations. Preliminary biological evaluation showed that spirooliganin and regioisomers 39 exhibited potent inhibition of Coxsackievirus B3. It also revealed the pharmacophore effect of the D-ring (16R,18R,24R, and 26R) for their antiviral activities.
