Authors: Arduino Pedro , Chen Long , McGann Christopher
Published: November 2023

This report presents results of an evaluation study on the applicability of current design procedures (based on p-y curves) to the analysis of large-diameter shafts socketed in rock, and the identification of enhanced moment transfer mechanisms not considered in current design methodologies. For this purpose simplified models, and possible three-dimensional (3D) finite-element method (FEM) models are studied to shed some light on the response of drilled shafts socketed in rock. A parametric study using p-y and considering a wide range of rock properties and rock-socket depths, different criteria to define the soil and rock p-y curves, different beam theories, and different interface frictional resistances are presented and compared with 3D FEM simulations. A new element is discussed to account for the shaft toe and underlain rock interaction, which could provide benefit to reduce shear demands when the socket is shallow.

Authors: Ma Jun , Zhao Donglu , Zhen Bihong , Xia Yan , Gong Qianyi , Chen Wendong
Published: November 2023

A decision analytic model was constructed to assess the cost–effectiveness of obinutuzumab plus bendamustine followed by obinutuzumab maintenance therapy (O-B-O) in Chinese patients with relapsed and refractory follicular lymphoma (rrFL). O-B-O was associated with a dominant or more favorable cost–effectiveness than the conventional therapies. Survival outcomes, quality of life of progression-free survival, and subsequent treatment costs for progressive disease were the main drivers of the cost–effectiveness of O-B-O. The cost–effectiveness proportions of O-B-O relative to conventional therapies under the recommended cost–effectiveness threshold ranged from 61.0% to 99.9%. Thus, O-B-O was highly cost-effective for treating patients with rrFL in China compared with conventional therapies.
Islamic Jurisprudence, Islamic Law, and Modernity
Authors: Fadel Mohammad
Published: November 2023

Mohammad Fadel’s scholarship on Islamic law and legal history ranges from medieval institutions and the history of Islamic legal interpretation to urgent problems relating to the modern reception and re-assessment of Islamic legal doctrine. Fadel’s intellectual concerns focus primarily on the compatibility of the Islamic legal tradition with modern liberal political arrangements, but in his research and writing he also delves into the realm of premodern Islamic legal thought and institutions. His Rawlsian approach leads him to a political reading of the Islamic legal tradition, which he accomplishes by teasing out jurists’ assumptions about politics, economics, and the domestic sphere. Fadel’s readings of Islamic legal sources suggest that Islamic law remains relevant to a society in which legitimate disagreements over law and morality seem intractable. At the same time, from the Rawlsian perspective he adopts, Fadel reminds us that premodern Muslim jurists formulated Islamic law also under conditions of substantial controversy over matters of law and morality, as well as over questions of religion, politics, theology, and metaphysics. The studies gathered together in this volume adroitly illustrate Fadel’s interest in Islamic law as a domain of Islamic political thought and as a framework that might be deployed in today’s pluralistic and secularized societies.

Authors: Zolfi Nastaran , Naghdi Ramin , Nikooy Mehrdad , Sorkhani Hamid Reza Afrand
Published: November 2023

The Law on Nationalization of Forests (1963) in Iran did not officially recognize the border line of village, which was used to provide livestock grazing, fuelwood and construction wood, but it prescribed some provision for villagers' consumptions. On the other hand, in addition to the benefits of carbon sequestration inside the forest, forests also store significant benefits outside the forest by providing harvested wood products for construction and fuel; Therefore, it becomes important, investigation of attitude, participation and indigenous knowledge of forest dwellers in using these products. In this research, utilization of wood products in Nodeh village investigated by using questionnaire and interview tools. The results showed that 52.3% of the residents are engaged in Livestock farming and 95.5% of their monthly income is above the poverty line. Only 4.5% of the interviewees sell the collected fuelwood and charcoal in retail form. This is while 100% of products such as fence base, construction wood and lop are just harvested for personal consumptions. The production of the mentioned products has decreased in recent years and their harvest has also decreased. The main attitude of the society, of course to wrong, is that the use of iron and concrete materials and fossil fuel instead of wood products helps to climate change mitigation. Participation to reduce emissions and cooperation in government forest protection projects is estimated at a medium to high level. 100% of the interviewees are well aware about effect of climate change on the reduction of forest products, but 77.3% of them believe that forests cannot mitigate these effects well. Finally, although the interest of local community participation for mitigation measures is evaluated in well level but due to the emerging phenomenon of climate change and the weakness of its literature, indigenous knowledge and the attitude of forest dwellers is not correct in this field, and it seems necessary promoting of attitude and increasing of knowledge.
Effect of Carbon Nanotube Reinforcement and Porosity on Mechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Polylactic Acid in Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Feratoğlu Kamil , İstif İlyas
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the production of Polylactic Acid-Carbon Nanotube (PLA-CNT) nanocomposite filaments intended for use in fused deposition modeling (FDM). The research delves into the comprehensive analysis of the nanocomposite's thermal degradation behavior, mechanical characteristics, viscoelastic-viscoplastic properties, and porosity. The weight percentages of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) within the filaments were accurately determined through advanced thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), indicating a uniform and well-dispersed CNT reinforcement within the PLA matrix. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis provided valuable insights, revealing an enhanced interfilament adhesion, and a notable reduction in porosity with the augmentation of CNT reinforcement. Notably, the incorporation of CNTs yielded a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite materials, resulting in heightened tensile strength and elastic modulus. Nevertheless, it was observed that higher CNT contents contributed to a reduction in fracture strain, suggesting an increase in material brittleness. In-depth loading-unloading tests showcased a linear viscoelastic behavior, with increased strain rates yielding higher material strength. Furthermore, the investigation of energy consumption during deformation unveiled that at a strain rate of 1E-3, energy consumption was notably higher compared to the rate of 1E-4. Additionally, creep tests conducted demonstrated a decrease in creep compliances with CNT reinforcement, highlighting the nanocomposite's heightened resistance to deformation over time. However, certain exceptions were identified, attributed to CNT agglomerations and insufficient interfacial adhesion. In a broader context, the incorporation of CNT reinforcement yielded a positive impact on the nanocomposite material's thermal, mechanical, and viscoelastic properties. Notably, this study underscores the feasibility of producing PLA-CNT nanocomposite filaments for FDM applications, thereby presenting potential avenues in diverse fields. The comprehensive findings of this research enrich the understanding of the influence of CNT reinforcement on PLA-based materials, while also providing valuable insights for refining the fabrication process and optimizing material properties.
Winter Soil Respiration, Temperature, and Soil Moisture in Snow-Manipulated Postfire and Undisturbed Black Pine Forests in Taşköprü, Kastamonu District, Türkiye
Authors: Pacaldo Renato S. , Aydın Miraç , Amarille Randell Keith
Published: November 2023

Climate change has been fueling forest fires worldwide and driving warmer winters in temperate countries. Recently, wildfires devastated large track of forest lands in Canada and Hawaii, resulting in the unfortunate loss of lives and properties. A warmer climate forecast not only increases the occurrence of forest fires but also brings about a snow-free warm winter season. Given these consequences of a warmer climate, a critical question is whether these climate change-related impacts significantly enhance soil respiration (Rs) in forest fire areas and standing undisturbed forest ecosystems. We conducted a field experiment in one of the recently burned black pine forest (Pinus nigra Arnold). We employed an automated soil respiration machinery (Li-8100A, LiCor BioSciences) to measure the soil CO2 emissions, soil temperature, air temperature, and soil moisture simultaneously. We found that a warmer winter results in higher soil respiration rates and warmer soil temperatures in undisturbed forests, indicating its less sensitivity to snow cover. In contrast, the snow-free post-fire treatment exhibited significantly reduced soil respiration rates and freezing soil temperature at the height of the winter season. We concluded that the complementary effects of lack of snow and forest fire resulted in a significant decrease in soil respiration rates, and, thus, potentially resulted in the conservation of soil C stocks during the winter period. The higher soil respiration and warmer soil in the undisturbed forest could accelerate the decomposition of soil organic matter and increase the contribution to atmospheric CO2, thus providing positive feedback to climate change. Given the global concerns about climate change impacts and the frequency of forest fires, the findings of this study would help us understand the impacts of forest fires and lack of snow in climate-soil respiration feedback.
Sustainable Use of Biomass to Assist the Development of Türkiye’s Economy Towards Green Growth
Authors: Akay Melek
Published: November 2023

Biomass, being derived from organic materials, is considered a carbon-neutral energy source. Biomass energy is a more environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels in a manner of the natural carbon cycle. In this concept, there are some investigations and projects going on with respect to biomass potential and energy production in many countries. Sustainable Use of Biomass to Assist the Development of Türkiye’s Economy Towards Green Growth project started in 2018 to evaluate the agricultural biomass potential in Türkiye in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policy (TAGEM) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and financed by the Global Environment Fund (GEF). The project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while increasing energy performance and competitiveness by triggering sectoral transformation with the applications of modern bioenergy technologies in the agricultural industry. Shaped within the framework of combating climate change, the project aims to increase the biomass potential of agricultural residues with sustainable and repeatable strategies; and supports the transformation into domestic and clean energy at a high level of efficiency. The project serves through four main components: "support to supply chains and energy facilities", "legislation regulations", "capacity building and awareness raising" and "monitoring and evaluation" in Türkiye.

Published: November 2023

The globe is now mostly concerned about climate change and its impacts on lives. The highly dense population and geographical location make Bangladesh most vulnerable to climate change. Concerning the issue, it’s a big challenge making the agriculture sector adapt as well as sequestering more carbon from the atmosphere to mitigate climate change. To address climate change impacts, the study aimed to assess carbon sequestration potentials in different fruit production models developed by the Department of AFE, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University. The study was arranged in a single-factor randomized complete block design. The treatments were open field (T₁), aonla (Phyllanthus emblica) (T2), carambola (Averrhoa carambola) (T3), lemon (Citrus limon) (T4), aonla + carambola (T5), aonla + lemon (T6), and aonla + carambola + lemon (T7). The vegetation data, soil data, and canopy data were collected to determine carbon sequestration and its response to the drivers. The study revealed that treatment T7 had the highest biomass sequestration rates both above and below ground, as well as the total carbon content (64 tons/ha) which was followed by T5 and T6 treatments compared to T2, T3, and T4 single strata treatments. The findings revealed that the total amount of carbon content showed a positive significant response to photosynthetically active radiation leaf area index (R2 = 0.8591), total soil nitrogen content (R2 = 0.9351), canopy coverage (R2 = 0.9821) and litter fall (R2 = 0.9606). This study also explores the role of agroforestry in carbon sequestration using the multistoried fruit production model, contributing to sustainable climate change strategies, land use management, environmental resilience, and policy making.

Authors: James Arnold E. Nogra
Published: November 2023

With the increasing prices of cigarettes and cigars, more and more smokers are looking for an alternative. One way to smoke without the use of traditional cigarettes, cigars, or electronic cigarettes is to roll tobacco leaves with Java plum leaves. It is difficult to select which leaves are to be used as cigarette covers because there are characteristics to be considered such as their texture, color, dryness and shape. This study aims to help or replace human experts in classifying Java Plum leaves using a Convolutional Neural Network Classifier. Tensorflow Inception V3 is retrained to classify the leaves of the Java plum into three categories, and with 1470 test images, the neural network model managed to achieve a 91.2% accuracy in the classification. The system needs more sample photos to get a higher accuracy rate.

Containing China: The Indo-US Defence Cooperation
Authors: Sher Ali Kakar
Published: November 2023

The rise of China has challenged the US global dominance, which it has held since the fall of the erstwhile USSR three decades ago. The United States is engaged in strategic efforts to contain the rise of China and retain its supremacy in the world. To this end, it has strengthened relations with regional countries, particularly India, which has emerged as a top US ally in the region. The US and India have considerably cemented their strategic partnership in recent years based on shared concerns about a rising China. This paper argues that the US wants India as a security provider to counterbalance China, while India seeks the US and western support to enhance its military capabilities to counterweigh China and become a regional hegemon, creating an imbalance in the region. Against this backdrop, this research paper is an attempt to recount important developments in India-US defence relations, focusing on bilateral deals, nuclear collaboration, and maritime cooperation vis-à-vis China's growing power and influence in the region. Besides, the study examines the implications of Indo-US defence cooperation on regional stability, particularly for Pakistan, which is already facing security challenges arising from Indian strategic intentions. This research has been conducted using a qualitative method of analysis and using both primary and secondary sources of data collection.
