Potential of neural networks for maximum displacement predictions in railway beams on frictionally damped foundations
Authors: Abambres Miguel , Corrêa Rita , Pinto da Costa António , Simões Fernando
Published: July 2019

Since the use of finite element (FE) simulations for the dynamic analysis of railway beams on frictionally damped foundations are (i) very time consuming, and (ii) require advanced know-how and software that go beyond the available resources of typical civil engineering firms, this paper aims to demonstrate the potential of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to effectively predict the maximum displacements and the critical velocity in railway beams under moving loads. Four ANN-based models are proposed, one per load velocity range ([50, 175] ∪ [250, 300] m/s; ]175, 250[ m/s) and per displacement type (upward or downward). Each model is function of two independent variables, a frictional parameter and the load velocity. Among all models and the 663 data points used, a maximum error of 5.4 % was obtained when comparing the ANN- and FE-based solutions. Whereas the latter involves an average computing time per data point of thousands of seconds, the former does not even need a millisecond. This study was an important step towards the development of more versatile (i.e., including other types of input variables) ANN-based models for the same type of problem.

Amino acid salt can be a promising alternative as the promoter for increasing the absorption kinetics rate of MDEA toward CO2. In this study, the absorption kinetics of carbon dioxide (CO2) into an aqueous 40 wt% equivalent Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solution promoted by 1 and 5 wt% of mixed amino acid salt, potassium salt of l-arginine (Arg) and l-glutamic acid (Glu), was performed using a wetted wall column at temperatures from 303.15 to 323.15 K. Effect of various mixture ratios of those promoters on the reaction rate parameters and its physicochemical properties was investigated based on the fast pseudo-first-order regime. The reaction between CO2 and amino acid was described with the zwitterionic mechanism. Aqueous MDEA without promoter was set as the control. The result revealed that the mixed promoter has affected to increase CO2 absorption rate into the aqueous MDEA solution compared with the control and using the single promoter due to the interaction between Arg and Glu. In addition, the overall reaction rate constant, kov, significantly increased with the increase of mixed promoter concentration and temperature under the investigated range. The aqueous MDEA solution promoted by 5% of mixed Arg and Glu in 1:1 ratio was obtained as the best CO2 absorbent.

Published: July 2019

The cause of death among modern people are the highest death rate from heart disease and monitoring and management of ECG signals to cope with these heart diseases is necessary. ECG is a bio-signal that is an important criterion for determining the presence or absence of cardiac activity states. Recently, an attempt has been made to analyze and compare biological signals and physical activity information for accurate analysis and diagnosis. However, in order to measure the ECG data for a long time, a storage space of several Mbytes and a wide bandwidth for wireless transmission are required. To solve this problem,  cost, time, and high-performance systems are additional required. The implemented system minimizes the amount of packets generated during wireless data transmission as well as abnormal heartbeat detection and activity information, and enables monitoring of heart activity status and activity information in real time through a smart phone. In order to evaluate the data packet transmission and restoration performance of the system implemented in this research, the MIT / BIH Arrhythmia Database 100 record was embedded in the system controller section and the packet was transmitted to the smartphone. In addition, ECG evaluation experiments were conducted according to the activity status during daily life. As a result of the performance evaluation, both experiments confirmed the data packet generated and signal restoration performance.

Published: July 2019

The problem of mining a high dimensional data includes a high computational cost, a high dimensional dataset composed of thousands of attribute and or instances. The efficiency of an algorithm, specifically, its speed is oftentimes sacrificed when this kind of dataset is supplied to the algorithm. Fuzzy C-Means algorithm is one which suffers from this problem. This clustering algorithm requires high computational resources as it processes whether low or high dimensional data. Netflix data rating, small round blue cell tumors (SRBCTs) and Colon Cancer (52,308, and 2,000 of attributes and 1500, 83 and 62 of instances respectively) dataset were identified as a high dimensional dataset. As such, the Manhattan distance measure employing the trigonometric function was used to enhance the fuzzy c-means algorithm. Results show an increase on the efficiency of processing large amount of data using the Netflix ,Colon cancer and SRCBT an (39,296, 38,952 and 85,774 milliseconds to complete the different clusters, respectively) average of 54,674 milliseconds while Manhattan distance measure took an average of (36,858, 36,501 and 82,86 milliseconds, respectively)  52,703 milliseconds for the entire dataset to cluster. On the other hand, the enhanced Manhattan distance measure took (33,216, 32,368 and 81,125 milliseconds, respectively) 48,903 seconds on clustering the datasets. Given the said result, the enhanced Manhattan distance measure is 11% more efficient compared to Euclidean distance measure and 7% more efficient than the Manhattan distance measure respectively.

Published: July 2019

Failure detection systems have become important not only in production processes, but nowadays there is a need for their implementation in various daily areas, for example, for the detection of physical damages that a car may present in a parking lot, in order to provide to the client with the assurance that their personal property will not be affected inside the lot. This paper presents an algorithm based on convolutional neural networks and a variant of these using regions (CNN and R-CNN), which allows to detect scratches in a car. In the first instance, the capture of one of the sides of a conventional car is done, an R-CNN is designed to extract only the region of the image where the car is located. After this procedure, the extracted region is divided into multiple sections, and each of the sections is evaluated in a CNN to detect in which parts of the vehicle the scratches are located. With the test images, a precision percentage of 98.3% is obtained in the R-CNN, and 96.89% in the CNN, demonstrating in this way the robustness of the Deep Learning techniques implemented in the detection of car scratches. The processing times of each one of the algorithm stages corresponding to the R-CNN and the classification of the sections in the CNN were 1.6563 and 1.264 seconds respectively.

Published: July 2019

Mutton has exceptional qualities such as smell, high consistency, and huge muscle fat, which makes mutton are restricted to consume. To expand mutton utilization, diversification with proper innovation is important. Salami is one of the proper mutton products that required starter such LAB that can deliver metabolites to change the texture, taste, and odor of meat. Other than LAB, yeasts additionally show up in meat processing, particularly in salami fermentation, which can build the meat taste and odor. The study aimed to identify the chemical, physical (water holding capacity, tenderness, and pH) and organoleptic (odor, color, texture, and taste) quality of mutton salami. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used as an experimental design with starters of Lactobacillus Plantarum as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts, i.e. Cryptococcus humicolous and Trichosporon beigelii. The treatments were divided into 5 levels, i.e. R1 (0.5% LAB: Yeast 0.5%), R2 (1% LAB: Yeast 1 %), R3 (1.5% LAB: Yeast 1.5%), R4 (2% LAB: Yeast 2%), and R5 (2.5% LAB: Yeast 2.5%), with four replications. Analysis of variance was used to find out the treatment effect, and the Duncan Multiple Range Test was used to find out the difference between any treatments. The results show that the addition of Lactobacillus Plantarum from 0.5% to 2.5% and yeast Cryptococcus humicolous, Trichosporon beigelii from 0.5% to 2.5%, did not significantly affect chemical and physical quality, while water holding capacity and organoleptic test, i.e., color, odor, and texture showed significant effects except taste.

Published: July 2019

Optimization of a protocol for in vitro regeneration of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata Wurmb Merr.) by direct organogenesis using the immature zygotic embryo and basal stem explants of in vitro raised seedlings has been developed. The explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of PGRs, and the organogenic capability of the explants was investigated. Both explants were responsive, but the results were greatly dependent on the genotype and the culture medium composition investigated. After 8 weeks of culture, basal stem explant cultured on MS + 1.0 mg/L Kin + 2.0 mg/L NAA promoted optimum response for direct organogenesis (90%) with a total of 9 adventitious shoots and 25 roots. Subculturing of individual shoots in basal MS medium (MS0) optimized further development. Meanwhile, immature zygotic embryo explant cultured on MS + 2.0 mg/L BAP + 2.0 mg/L NAA promoted optimum root regeneration (70%), though MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L BAP + 1.0 mg/L GA3 and 1.0 mg/L AgNO3 promoted optimum shoots growth (total of 10 shoots) at the rate of 0.04%. In vitro rooting of the regenerated shoots was successfully obtained on MS + 3.0 mg/L IBA. Established in vitro plantlets with roots were hardened in soil: peat moss: perlite (2:2:1) mixture. Acclimatization of plantlets was successfully obtained with 70% seedlings survived after 4 month’s exposures under the light intensity of 50-100 µmol m-2s-1.

In general potato suitable cultivated in the highland area, the reasoning is in this altitude area the tuber’s growth of potato in which provides the optimum climatic condition. Vegetable such as potato is growth at any time of the year, depending upon the availability of water or irrigation water. The farmers also the cultivation of potato in medium altitude area due to the availability of the area is limited. Therefore cultivation of tubers in medium altitude area is investigated.  Potato Eigenheimer cultivars and Granola cultivars were planted at a medium altitude area of 754 m above sea level; in research station of campus Universitas Padjadjaran west Java Indonesia. The average temperature was 23°C. The treatments were three intervals of irrigation every two days (A1), four days (A2) and six days (A3); and the treatments were applied three of potassium fertilizer (KCL dosage: 50 (P1), 100 (P2) and 150 (P3) (kg/ha) which three levels of nitrogen. The result shows that two days of irrigation intervals (A1) and 100 kg/ha potassium (P2) obtain the highest essential amino acids concentration of Granola cultivar if compared with Eigenheimer cultivar. The interaction between the application of interval irrigation and potassium fertilizer effects to a mineral such as calcium and iron content in the tuber. While the content of both mineral is higher in Granola cultivar than that in Eigenheimer cultivar.

Published: July 2019

Objectives:
Comorbidities
represent a risk factor for adverse events in several critical illnesses. The
aim of this study was to identify the relationship between the Charlson
Comorbidity Index (CCI) with mortality and length of stay (LOS) in critically
ill elderly patients. Methods: A
retrospective analysis was made of patients admitted to our tertiary adult
intensive care unit (ICU) between January 2015 and January 2016. The impact of
comorbidity was evaluated with the CCI. Other required data were retrieved from
the patients' follow-up records. Results: The
study included a total of 251 patients. The mean age was 78.79 ± 6.70 years. The total
mortality rate was 41.0%. The most common cause for admission was sepsis and
acute respiratory failure (18.3% vs 18.3%). The median APACHE II score was
significantly higher in non-survivors than survivors (31.0 [13.0-47.0] vs 21.0
[9.0-40.0]; p < 0.01). The median
CCI was 2.0 (0.0-7.0) for survivors and 3.0 (1.0-10.0) for non-survivors. The
CCI of non-survivors was significantly higher than that of survivors (p = 0.005). Patients with CCI > 3 had
higher mortality than those with CCI ≤ 3
(p < 0.05). The odds ratio of the
APACHE II score for mortality was 1.214 (95% CI: 1.154-1.276), and for CCI it
was 1.320
(95% CI: 1.088-1.602). There was a significant positive correlation between CCI
and LOS (r=0.147; p = 0.020).

Conclusions: CCI
is strongly associated with both mortality and LOS. It can be used as a
prognostic marker for elderly patients in critical care.

Published: July 2019

Cartilage has been used in otologic surgery for
ossicular reconstruction and grafting since 1960s. Due to low metabolic rate, stiffness and stability properties
with regard to fascia, it is thought to be more effective in tympanoplasty. With the help of this
measurement technique, redundant oversized harvesting of cartilage can be
prevented and overmanuplation during graft replacement especially after a
delicate ossiculoplasty procedure can be avoided. The
aim of this study was to demonstrate the preparation of optimal island
cartilage composite graft with a simple sterile suture package template for the
appropriate size of the tympanic membrane perforation, and to provide a
functional surgery with minimal donor site defect and minimal manipulation. With
this technique, 143 patients with chronic otitis have been operated in our
clinic. No complications with respect to this method, have been observed up to
date. Using an easily prepared  template
is a simple and effective method for measuring the perforation size.
Design of spur gearbox shafts for fatigue Fatigue Design of Spur Gearbox Shafts
Authors: Syromyatnikov V.S. , Martinez Juan Marcos Garcia , Quintana Laura Angelica Samora , Rosales Miguel Gersaun Ortega
Published: July 2019

Spur gearboxes are used in machine drives to transfer torque from the engine to the machine’s working element: the driving wheel of the car, the rotor of the helicopter or the drum of the conveyor. Spur gears and bearings are mounted on the shafts of the gearbox. Under the action of torque and forces in the gearing of the wheels, tangential and normal stresses occur in the cross section of the shaft. Normal stress varies in a symmetrical cycle and leads to material fatigue. In view of this, a mathematical model is proposed to improve the accuracy of calculating the overall safety factor for shaft fatigue resistance. Based on the von Mises deformation theory, equivalent stress parameters (amplitude and the mean) are determined. To assess the safety margin of the shaft, Soderberg, Goodman, Gerber, and ASME criteria are used. The stress amplitude margin is calculated depending on the endurance limit of the shaft material, refined according to the specified conditions. The average stress margin is determined relative to the yield strength of the material or the ultimate strength. Formulae for calculating the overall safety factor of amplitude and average stress are obtained. With a known safety factor and load, it is possible to determine the shaft diameter at the preliminary design stage of the gearbox according to the fatigue resistance condition.

Published: July 2019

Cognitive impairment is a global medical and social problem. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common disease leading to the development of cognitive impairment and dementia. Arterial hypertension (HTN) is considered to be the strongest risk factor for the development of both vascular dementia and AD. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of the glymphatic system in removing β-amyloid from the brain through the perivascular Virchow–Robin spaces. The interest is that the adequate functioning of the glymphatic system mainly depends on the level of blood pressure during the day and the quality of sleep. In this article, we will consider the main mechanisms of the HTN influence on the glymphatic system, brain substance-related damage and the development of cognitive impairment.

Published: July 2019

Background. Vasovagal syncopes (VVS) are relatively often recorded in the population of young people. Objective. To establish the changes in the baroreflex function during the tilt test in healthy young males with the history of VVS. Design and methods. A total of 102 people aged 18–30 years were examined and divided into 4 groups, taking into account the specific features of fainting history and response to the tilt test. Subjects of the group 1 (n = 14) had a history of VVS and a positive response to the tilt test (syncope). Subjects of the group 2 (n = 14) had a history of VVS and a pattern of postural tachycardia without fainting verified during the tilt test. Subjects of the group 3 (n = 42) had a history of VVS and a negative response to the tilt test. Subjects of the group 4 (n = 32) did not have a history of VVS and showed a negative response to the tilt test. During the tilt test, we studied the dynamics of the baroreflex functional parameters (the number of baroreflex reactions (NBR), the baroreflex effectiveness index (BEI), the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS)). Results. In the individuals of each group, in the initial horizontal phase, values of NBR, BEI, BRS were within normal range and did not show significant intergroup differences (p > 0,05). The passive orthostasis was associated with the increase in NBR (in each group beside control group), a decrease in BEI and BRS. The increase in NBR in the vertical phase of the tilt test (relative to the initial horizontal phase) was 87 %, 6 %, 16 % in the groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The tilt-induced decrease in NBR comprised 8 % in the group 4. The decrease in the BEI in the vertical phase of the tilt test (relative to the initial horizontal phase) consisted: 22 %, 19 %, 12 %, 10 % in subjects of the 1, 2, 3, 4 groups, respectively. During the passive orthostasis we observed a decrease in BRS: by 65 %, 69 %, 64 %, 57 % in individuals of the groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Returning from a vertical to a horizontal position in all groups led to a pronounced decrease in NBR and an increase in the BEI to values lower than in baseline horizontal tilt test phase; to an excessive increase in the BRS exceeding the pre-test values in each study group. Conclusions. In prolonged passive orthostasis, healthy young males, regardless of the fainting history, demonstrate a decrease in the baroreflex regulation. Among those with the history of VVS, tilt-positive subjects are characterized by a more pronounced orthostasis-induced drop in the baroreflex sensitivity and the baroreflex effectiveness index and a slow recovery of the baroreflex regulatory function compared to the tilt-negative subjects and to those who demonstrated postural tachycardia pattern without syncope.

Background.Hypertension (HTN) is often combined with other diseases, that significantly complicate its course, worsen the prognosis, interfere with the therapeutic and preventive measures. Therefore, assessing the development and structure of polymorbidity (PM) in hypertension is a relevant issue.Objective. To study the structure and degree of PM in hypertensive patients depending on age and gender.Design and methods. We conducted an analysis of 20 560 case histories of patients with HTN and without HTN (men and women), inhabitants of West Siberia-Novosibirsk region, who underwent examination and treatment at the clinic of the Federal Research Center of Fundamental and Translational Medicine in Novosibirsk. All identified diagnoses (nosological forms and classes according to the International Classification of Diseases of the 10th revision, ICD‑10) were considered. Transnosological PM was assessed by the average number of nosologies corresponding to the three-digit ICD‑10 rubric.Results. An increase in the PM index by 16,8 % was found in HTN patients compared to patients without HTN. Among HTN patients, there was an increase in the incidence of comorbid diseases of the circulatory system (in the 16–39 age group in men — by 46 %, in women — by 42,8 %), the endocrine system, eating disorders and metabolism (in the age group 16–39 years for men — by 19,3 %, for women — by 45,2 %), the musculoskeletal system, urinary system (for men) and neoplasms (for women) compared with patients without HTN.Conclusions. We found a high rate of transnosological PM in HTN patients was found and defined its structure.

Authors: Basarab D. A. , Ustyuzhin E. D. , Perutskiy D. N. , Basarab A. I.
Published: July 2019

The paper presents a  rare case of successful correction of an anterior mitral leaflet perforation. A 28-years old patient was referred with progressive heart failure symptoms at 18  weeks after he had a penetrating stab wound of the right ventricle. Massive pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade risk and severe mitral valve insufficiency were found at examination. By the time of referral, spontaneous closure of the ventricular septal defect, which is an inevitable component of the “unhappy triad”, had happened. Accurate topical ultrasound diagnosis of the intracardial lesion that resulted from the penetrating wound of the left ventricular outflow allowed for a successful urgent mitral valve reconstruction with a xenopericardial patch and the insertion of a  28  mm MedEng annuloplasty band. To prevent any future pericardial constriction, subtotal pericardectomy by Cooley was performed.

Conclusion: Perioperative echocardiography and subsequent follow up by cardiologist are obligatory in all cases of precordial wounds after discharge from hospital. Timely surgery for traumatic mitral leaflet perforation allows for a successful valvuloplasty.

The Ethical Soundness of the Goldwater Rule
Authors: Andrade Gabriel , Campo Redondo Maria
Published: July 2019

In 1964,Factmagazine sent a survey to American psychiatrists asking them to comment on Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater's mental health status. Respondents described Goldwater in very negative terms using the common psychiatric jargon of the time. The American Psychiatric Association realized that this affair damaged the professional integrity of psychiatry and, as a result, in 1973 issued the so-called “Goldwater rule.” Under this rule, psychiatrists are not allowed to comment on the mental health of public figures without a direct interview and without their permission. In 2016, as a result of Donald Trump's rise to power, there has been some public pressure to overcome the Goldwater rule. This article acknowledges that times have changed and that debates about rescinding the Goldwater rule are welcome; however, it also defends the view that the Goldwater rule preserves considerable ethical soundness. This conclusion is reached by analyzing some of the main considerations in this debate: free speech, the “duty to warn,” the suitability of the direct interview, and the politicization of psychiatry.

En este artículo, colaboran lingüistas e historiadores en la transcripción, traducción y análisis de un texto escrito en zapoteco del Valle de Oaxaca en 1614, hallado en el ramo de Tierras del Archivo General de la Nación. El documento fue entregado como evidencia en un litigio con respecto a un terreno entre don Gerónimo de Grijalva, cacique y principal del pueblo de San Sebastián (sujeto a San Juan Tecticpac), y miembros del pueblo de San Sebastián. En respuesta, los miembros del cabildo zapoteco presentaron treinta y cuatro fojas de instrumentos y papeles en apoyo de su reclamo. Los papeles incluyen veintidós documentos distintos escritos en zapoteco, incluyendo testamentos y documentos sobre los terrenos que pertenecían a miembros del pueblo que datan de 1568 a 1792, referentes de alguna manera de la tierra disputada. La última voluntad y el testamento de Sebastián López, analizado en el presente trabajo, es uno de los menciona- dos documentos. Este artículo resume el litigio y el testamento en detalle, señala varios elementos importantes de su rico contexto histórico y presenta una vista de conjunto del zapoteco colonial del Valle con ejemplos del documento analizado.
Verdades educacionais no Brasil e na Espanha
Authors: Henning Paula Corrêa
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo tem como propósito analisar dois acontecimentos discursivos da história da Educação Ambiental (EA) no Brasil e na Espanha. Toma-se como corpus analítico do estudo os ordenamentos jurídicos a respeito da Educação em ambos os países e os atravessamentos de definições estabelecidas por eventos e documentos internacionais sobre a educação destinada as preocupações ambientais. O primeiro acontecimento refere-se a presença da interdisciplinar nos espaços escolares; o segundo trata-se da configuração daquilo que a UNESCO institui como um desdobramento da EA no cenário atual, a Educação para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (EDS). A partir da problematização acerca do conceito de verdade e da governamentalidade neoliberal, o texto assume os estudos pós-estruturalistas, especialmente a partir de Friedrich Nietzsche e Michel Foucault. É tensionando os valores de verdade que essas construções carregam que o exercício da crítica radical proposta por Foucault possa ser, minimamente, operado por nós.
Investigando os obstáculos da aprendizagem de genética básica em alunos do ensino médio
Authors: Silva Cirlande Cabral da , Cabral Hiléia Monteiro Maciel , Castro Patrícia Macêdo de
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo procurou investigar os obstáculos que os alunos do Ensino Médio enfrentam quando estudam conteúdos relacionados à disciplina genética. Para isso, utilizamos como metodologia a Teoria Fundamentada que nos possibilitou elaborar uma teoria explicativa para o fenômeno investigado (os obstáculos da aprendizagem de genética). Diante disso, percorremos os três passos recomendados por essa Teoria, que são: 1) Codificação Aberta, que consiste em dar nomes aos dados (códigos iniciais), levando em consideração as ações e processos dos indivíduos envolvidos; 2) Codificação Axial, responsável pela aglutinação dos códigos iniciais em subcategorias e categorias analíticas, e 3) Codificação Seletiva, que consiste em escolher, entre todas as categorias analíticas evidenciadas, aquela com capacidade de entrelaçar todas as demais (categoria central). A Teoria Fundamentada pode ser usada para gerar teorias explicativas que, ao contrário das grandes teorias formais, explicam melhor as áreas específicas da pesquisa empírica já que essas teorias emergem diretamente de dados do mundo real. Portanto, para essa investigação, elaboramos a seguinte Teoria Substantiva: “Para que as dificuldades de aprendizagem dos conceitos genéticos possam ser compreendidas e superadas com mais facilidade pelos alunos do Ensino Médio, é necessário a elaboração, pelo professor, de estratégias diversificadas de ensino, através de múltiplas abordagens teórico-metodológicas. Portanto, é imprescindível que o professor de genética reoriente sua prática pedagógica, modificando sua maneira de ensinar, procurando entender a complexidade dos assuntos, refletindo sobre qual maneira mais apropriada esse conhecimento pode ser transmitido a fim de que possa realmente ocorrer uma aprendizagem efetiva por parte dos alunos”.

As novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação no contexto educacional das políticas públicas
Authors: França Fabiane Freire , Costa Maria Luisa Furlan , Santos Renata Oliveira dos
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo compreender como o uso das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, na Educação Básica e sobretudo no Ensino Superior, pode se constituir como ferramenta de combate e resistência ao cenário atual de retrocessos e ataques ao sistema educacional público brasileiro. Para tanto, apresentamos uma discussão teórica sobre o uso das tecnologias na educação como forma de resistência. Com base na atual Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação 9394/96 e no Plano Nacional de Educação (2014) apresentamos os conceitos de educação, novas tecnologias e formação docente como palco de lutas e negociações para a aprovação de determinadas políticas. Explicitaremos algumas delas, tais como as políticas atuais voltadas à formação docente, assim como as mudanças ocorridas no Ensino Superior, em especial, uma reflexão da portaria 1.428/18 que permite que até 40% das disciplinas, dos cursos presenciais, possam ser ofertadas na modalidade de Educação a Distância. Diante desse novo cenário que se consolida por meio das tecnologias nos indagamos, ainda, como as chamadas fakes newsemergem em uma sociedade que não consegue ser crítica frente à avalanche de informação que circula em nível mundial. Torna-se possível entender que elas representam a falta de uma educação e conscientização voltada para a sociedade da informação e do conhecimento.
Mathematical Analysis of the Coating Process Over a Porous Web Lubricated with Upper Convected Maxwell Fluid
Authors: Zafar Muhammad , Ahmad Babar , Afzal Rana Muhammad , Zahid Muhammad
Published: July 2019

Present study offers mathematical calculations of the roll-coating procedure lubricated with upper Convected Maxwell Fluid. An incompressible isothermal viscoelastic fluid is considered with roll and the porous web having uniform velocities. By employing Lubrication Approximation Theory, the desired equations of motion for the fluid concerned over porous web are modelled and analyzed. The suction rate on the web and injection rate at the roll surface are anticipated proportionate. Results for velocity profile and pressure gradient are obtained analytically. Fluid parameters of industrial significance i.e. detachment point, pressure, sheet /roll separating force, power contribution and coating thickness are also calculated numerically. Substantial and monotonic increase is witnessed in these quantities with the increase of flow parameters.
The Glucosinolates: A Sulphur Glucoside Family of Mustard Anti-Tumour and Anti-Microbial Phytochemicals of Potential Therapeutic Application
Authors: Melrose James
Published: July 2019

Abstract: This study reviewed aspects of the biology of two members of the glucosinolate family, namely sinigrin and glucoraphanin and their anti-tumour and anti-microbial properties. Sinigrin and glucoraphanin are converted by the β-sulphoglucosidase myrosinase or the gut microbiota into their bioactive forms, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) and sulphoraphanin (SFN) which constitute part of a sophisticated defence system plants developed over several hundred million years of evolution to protect them from parasitic attack from aphids, ticks, bacteria or nematodes. Delivery of these components from consumption of cruciferous vegetables rich in the glucosinolates also delivers many other members of the glucosinolate family so the dietary AITCs and SFN do not act in isolation. In-vitro experiments with purified AITC and SFN have demonstrated their therapeutic utility as antimicrobials against a range of clinically important bacteria and fungi. AITC and SFN are as potent as Vancomycin in the treatment of bacteria listed by the World Health Organisation as antibiotic-resistant "priority pathogens" and also act as anti- cancer agents through the induction of phase II antioxidant enzymes which inactivate potential carcinogens. Glucosinolates may be useful in the treatment of biofilms formed on medical implants and catheters by problematic pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus and are potent antimicrobials against a range of clinically important bacteria and fungi. The glucosinolates have also been applied in the prevention of bacterial and fungal spoilage of food products in advanced atmospheric packaging technology which improves the shelf-life of these products.
The Concept of Internal Representation in The Qbit Theory of Consciousness
Authors: Beshkar Majid
Published: July 2019

The QBIT theory is an attempt toward solving the problem of consciousness in the light of Quantum mechanics, Biology, Information theory, and Thermodynamics. “Internal representation” is a key concept in the QBIT theory of consciousness. An internal representation is defined as a pack of information (within a cognitive system) that represents an external stimulus.The QBIT theory suggests that when robustness of an internal representation exceeds a certain threshold, a conscious experience (or a quale) is generated. In this paper, the concept of internal representation and its relation with consciousness is explored.

Published: July 2019

Analysis of the demographic, temporal and seasonal distribution of hantavirus infections in Barbados was conducted using national surveillance data for 861 laboratory confirmed cases during 2008-2016. The crude incidence rate of hantavirus infections varied from 5.05 to 100.16 per 100,000 persons per year. One major hantavirus epidemic occurred in Barbados during 2010. Hantavirus cases occurred throughout the year with low level transmission during the dry season (December to June) with increased transmission during rainy season (July to November) and a seasonal peak in August. Hantavirus incidence rates were significantly higher in females than males every year during the study period. More than 50% of hantavirus cases were 30 years of age or less. The highest incidence rate (63.36 cases per 100,000 population) was observed among patients 0–4 years of age. This represents the first epidemiological data for hantavirus disease among an entire population in the English-speaking Caribbean.
Quantitative Mereology: An Essay to Derive Physics Laws from a Philosophical Concept
Authors: Schmitz Georg J.
Published: July 2019

Mereology stands for the philosophical concept of parthood and is based on a sound set of fundamental axioms and relations. One of these axioms relates to the existence of a universe as a thing having part all other things. The present article formulates this logical expression first as an algebraic inequality and eventually as an algebraic equation reading in words: The universe equals the sum of all things. “All things” here are quantified by a “number of things”. Eventually this algebraic equation is normalized leading to an expression The whole equals the sum of all fractions. This introduces “1” or “100%” as a quantitative – numerical - value describing the “whole”. The resulting “basic equation” can then be subjected to a number of algebraic operations. Especially squaring this equation leads to correlation terms between the things implying that the whole is more than just the sum of its parts. Multiplying the basic equation (or its square) by a scalar allows for the derivation of physics equations like the entropy equation, the ideal gas equation, an equation for the Lorentz-Factor, conservation laws for mass and energy, the energy-mass equivalence, the Boltzmann statistics, and the energy levels in a Hydrogen atom. It further allows deriving a “contrast equation” which may form the basis for the definition of a length and a time scale. Multiplying the basic equation with vectors, pseudovectors, pseudoscalars and eventually hypercomplex numbers opens up the realm of possibilities to generate many further equations.
