A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE OCTANE NUMBER AND THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF REGULAR, MIDGRADE, AND PREMIUM GASOLINE
Authors: Bamerni Fanar M.
Published: February 2024

The present  study was conducted at Zakho City in Northern Iraq to evaluate three different types of gasoline: Regular, Midgrade, and Premium. These types of gasoline are categorized based on their octane rating, which was measured to verify their classification. The results showed that the initial classification was accurate, with respective values of 87.5, 89.8, and 91.1. The  study evaluated the three grades of gasoline available  at Zakho Gas Stations in Northern Iraq, including Regular, Midgrade, and Premium. The study  also compared the chemical composition of the three gasoline grades in terms of aromatics, olefin, sulfur content, and oxygen content. All the three gasoline grades met the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard for chemical composition, and all had acceptable specific gravities. However, Midgrade gasoline is not recommended for use during the summer due to its high Reid vapor pressure (RVP) value, low Initial boiling point (IBP), and final boiling point( FBP). In general, the  study showed that the Regular and Premium gasoline types sold in North  of Iraq meet international quality standards. However, Midgrade gasoline is not recommended for use during the summer due to its high RVP value, low IBP, and FBP, which can lead to increased volatility and environmental pollution,
Moreover, using this type of gasoline may cause problems with the car engine.

Damage caused by high rainfall conditions (> 900mm/year) & Daily Traffic Volume exceeds the provisions of the Binamarga. After analysis, it shows that the road pavement is in Moderate/Fair condition; field analysis results and values calculated using the PCI (Pavement Index Condition) method for damaged road conditions can provide recommendations for road repairs using the Asphalt Institute MS-17 method, namely patching and resurfacing. Based on the analysis of the road condition values obtained, the solution must be patched and re-coated so that water does not quickly seep into the road layer, which causes more severe road damage.
Annotating Materials Science Text: A Semi-Automated Approach for Crafting Outputs with Gemini Pro
Authors: Sayeed Hasan M , Mohanty Trupti , Sparks Taylor
Published: February 2024

Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have paved the way for automated information extraction in the materials science domain. However, fine-tuning these models, crucial for effective machine learning pipelines in materials science, is hindered by a lack of pre-annotated data. Manual annotation, a laborious process, exacerbates the challenge. To address this, we introduce a tailored semi-automated annotation process, using Google's Gemini Pro language model. Our approach focuses on two key tasks: extracting information in structured JSON format and generating abstractive summaries from materials science texts. The collaborative process, a symbiotic effort between human annotators and the LLM, driven by structured prompts and user-guided examples, enhances the annotation quality and augments the LLM's capacity to comprehend materials science intricacies. Importantly, it streamlines human annotation efforts by leveraging the LLM's proficient starting point.
Prevalence and structural protein encoding gene sequence (VP) of porcine parvovirus 2 (PPV2) in slaughtered pigs in Central provinces of Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Tran Trung , Tran Quoc Dung , Nguyen Thi Dieu Thuy
Published: February 2024

Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is a DNA virus and causative agent of several reproductive problems in sows. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and analyze the DNA sequence of structural protein encoding gene (VP) of PPV2 genotype in pigs. A total of 146 samples (lung and blood samples) were collected from slaughtered pigs of seven provinces in Central Vietnam during 2018-2019. The overall prevalence of PPV2 was 56.2% (82/146). PPV2 positive rate in each province ranged from 37.5% for Quang Nam to 100% for Quang Binh, with the exception of Da Nang, where no PPV2 positive samples were detected. Nearly complete PPV2-VP gene sequences of three strains were identified with the length of 2,493 nucleotides and deposited in GenBank with accession numbers of OL913365-OL913367. Four nucleotide substitutions were detected in Vietnamese PPV2 isolates and were not observed in PPV2 reference strains. Multiple alignment and comparison of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences showed the high similarity within Vietnamese PPV2 strains (95.6-96.5% and 94.7-96.9%, respectively). The PPV2 strains from this study clustered together with the "primitive" PPV2 strains from Myanmar, and strains from China in a main clade in the phylogenetic tree (Cluster A). This is the first report on the prevalence of PPV2 genotype and its VP gene sequence in pigs in Vietnam. This also provides the valuable information on the molecular evolution of locally circulating PPV2 and contributes to the control of PPV-induced SMEDI syndrome in sows, especially in the central provinces of Vietnam.

Published: February 2024

Euonymus laxiflorus bioactive compounds 1-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxybenzene (1), Walterolactone A/B β-D-pyranoglucoside (2), Gallocatechin (3), Leonuriside A (4), Methyl galloate (5), and Catechin (6) were experimentally evidenced for their multi-inhibition against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. In this work, they were subjected to a combination of computational platforms on tyrosine phosphatase 1B (UniProtKB-PTP1B). As the results, the overall potentiality for bio-inhibitory applications is primarily evaluated by the order: 1 (DSaverage -12.2 kcal.mol-1; polarisability 45.5 Å; no toxicity; ground-state energy -1222.73 a.u.; dipole moment 0.989 Debye) > 2 (DSaverage -9.7 kcal.mol-1; polarisability 39.4 Å; no toxicity; ground-state energy -1070.08 a.u.; dipole moment 6.726 Debye) > 4 (DSaverage -9.1 kcal.mol-1; polarisability 45.1 Å; no toxicity; ground-state energy -1222.73 a.u.; dipole moment 4.895 Debye). Altogether, the retrievals encourage further attempts to test the inhibitory effects of 2 against tyrosine phosphatase 1B and improve the dipole moment of 1 to enhance its biological applicability.

Published: February 2024

Thiabendazole and its analogues are widely used and reasonably well studied in terms of their biological activity, while their potential as chemosensory compounds with optical detection and sensitivity to metal ions remains unexplored. On the other hand, the introduction of a thiazole ring into the heteroaromatic system of benzimidazole significantly expands the directions of practical application of benzimidazole derivatives. Thus, one of the important structural features of the benzimidazole-thiazole system is the presence of a chelate cavity. It is a potential center of complexation with metal ions, which, with their bright fluorescence, create additional opportunities for their use as luminescent probes and chemosensors. Considering the affinity of the sulfur atom for polyvalent heavy metals, sensors based on these compounds can be used in medically and environmentally oriented analysis of toxic metal compounds.

In this publication, we focus on the synthesis of various 2- and 4-substituted 2-thiazol-5-yl-benzimidazoles, as well as the determination of their spectral-fluorescence properties. Therefore, we started from 2,4-dihalogen 5-formyl thiazoles, the methods of synthesis of which are well known. Their modification in 2nd position we have described in previous works. To obtain the target products, the Weidenhagen method was chosen, which consists in the reaction of o-phenylenediamine with an aromatic or aliphatic aldehyde under oxidation conditions. For creating such conditions copper acetate was used.

The possibility of coordination of metal ions by the obtained compounds was established using electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. It was found that these compounds selectively form complexes with Cd2+ and Mg2+ ions. Our qualitative studies allow us to make conclusion that the benzimidazole-thiazole fragment is a promising coordination site for metal ions, which can be used in the design of fluorescent probes for the determination of Cd2+ and Mg2+ ions.

Published: February 2024

Child safety and tracking are of utmost importance, as children are the most vulnerable. With increasing crime rates, such as child kidnapping and child trafficking, the need for a smart security app has become a necessity. With this motivation, a self-alerting “Intelligent Child Monitoring Safety System” is developed to aid parents in monitoring and tracking their children in real time as an alternative to staying beside them. This system is intended as an everyday wearable device for the child, in the form of a wrist band, hand glove, arm band, belt, or even a smart phone. The app is designed to continuously monitor the location of children. The app uses GSM and GPS modules. The location of the victim is traced using the GPS module and sent to the registered contact numbers as a text message using a GSM module.
Broadcast efficiency in mobile ad hoc networks: Dynamic methods and constant approximation
Authors: Theodore Kingslin M.
Published: February 2024

The term "MANET," which stands for "Mobile Adhoc Network," refers to an ad hoc wireless network incorporating routing mechanism atop an ad hoc link layer network. These networks consist of wirelessly linked mobile nodes that selfconfigure and self-heal. Due to frequent changes in network architecture, MANET nodes have the freedom to move. Each node in the network serves as a router, forwarding traffic to specified nodes. Broadcast algorithms in wireless ad hoc networks typically follow two main approaches: static and dynamic. In the static approach, local algorithms proactively determine each node's status based on local topology information and a globally known priority function. This paper reveals that existing local broadcast algorithms based on the static approach fail to achieve a satisfactory approximation factor for the optimum solution to an NP-hard problem. However, it is demonstrated that a constant approximation factor is attainable when relative position information is available. The hybrid broadcast method dynamically determines each node's state "on-the-fly," ensuring complete delivery and maintaining a consistent value approaching the ideal outcome as closely as possible.

Published: February 2024

Aims/objectives: Ambulance clinician assessment of suspected stroke patients aims to provide rapid access to specialist care, however regional and national data show increasing pre-hospital times. This study explored paramedic views about factors contributing to on-scene time
(OST) for suspected stroke patients, with a view to identifying opportunities for future interventions, to reduce OST.Methods: Views of paramedics from one regional service on factors influencing OST were explored using a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews with volunteers
were recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis.Results: Interviews were conducted with 13 paramedics between August and November 2021. Five interlinked themes were identified and described a range of factors influencing OST:
‘Initial assessment and sources of information’ describes how clinicians make assessments based on initial presentation, influenced by pre-arrival information from ambulance control and family members / bystanders at the scene, and how this influences OST.
‘Suitability for treatment and interventions’ describes how paramedics consider actions such as the face, arms, speech test, cannulation, electrocardiograms and neurological assessments while recognising that pre-hospital interventions for suspected stroke
are limited. ‘The environment’ describes the influence of incident setting on OST, including the overall process needed to transport the patient to appropriate care. ‘Hospital interactions’
describes how interactions with hospital staff influenced paramedic actions and OST. ‘Changing practice’ describes the influence of experience and interaction with hospital staff leading to changes in paramedic practice over time.
Conclusion: This study provides insight into how UK paramedics spend time on scene with stroke patients. Multiple factors influencing OST were identified which signpost opportunities for interventions designed to reduce OST. Standardising on-scene assessments for stroke
patients, refining communication processes between ambulance services and hospital stroke services and increasing availability of stroke continuing professional development for paramedics were all identified as potential targets for improving OST.

Authors:   Institute of Management and Quality Sciences, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Karasek Aneta
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The main purpose of the study was to examine the proactive personality of young workers in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from young workers using an e-questionnaire. The study followed the approach developed by Bateman and Crant. The U Mann-Whitney test was used in the data analysis. The study focused on identifying specific proactive behaviors of young workers. Findings: Young employees with certain professional experience are characterized by highly proactive personality. The male employees showed higher overall levels of proactiveness than their female counterparts. In turn, the particular age of the young employees was not observed to affect their proactive attitudes. Gender-dependent statistical differences were observed in terms of some proactive behavior, which facilitated the formulation of specific recommendations for employers. Research limitations/implications: The study was carried out only in Poland. In the future, the author plans to expand the scope of the study to include countries of varying cultural characteristics and allow international comparisons. Practical implications: Employers are recommended to implement targeted efforts aimed at enhancing proactive employee behavior, particularly among female staff members. These should include the establishment of a proactive work environment and implementation of suitable HRM practices, e.g. in terms of proactiveness-focused career path planning and targeted employee development (individual and team coaching, mentoring, design thinking). Originality/value: The study identifies the proactive personality of young employees and uses the obtained results to formulate recommendations for employers in terms of HRM management that duly accounts for the procreative personality of employees. Keywords: proactive personality, young employees, HRM practices, employer. Category of the paper: Research paper.
