Features of Heating Poultry Houses with Gas Stoves
Authors: Sklyar Aleksey , Korobko Iliya , Postnova Margarita
Published: April 2019

Currently, modern poultry farms are located in regions with different climatic conditions. On this basis, the component of the electric power is great in power engineering, the combined heating and ventilating systems, lighting and local heating of poultry farms in the territory of the Russian Federation are based on these constructions. Analysis of energy costs of poultry farms showed that, of the estimated options to reduce the cost of electricity for poultry farms, one of the most effective can be an alternative source such as the generation of its own electricity. Naturally, for biological production with a continuous technological cycle, such as poultry farming, we are not talking about 100 % replacement of power grids - they remain to cover 45-55 % of the needs of the factory and serve as a reserve for the rest.

Oscillation and Extinction Scenarios in the New Continuous Model of the Eruptive Phase of Alien Species Invasion
Authors: Perevaryukha Andrey
Published: April 2019

The paper considers the issue of modeling the development of those special population processes that include the passage of the eruptive phase of dynamics. Such brief hurricane regimes of change are often associated with the consequences of invasions of undesirable species. Processes in the introduction of a species can often develop through the delayed phase of a rapid increase in its abundance. The completion of the phase depends on many factors. Outbreaks of many species exert such a strong pressure on the environment that achieving a non-zero balance equilibrium is problematic. Such phenomena are interpreted by us as an extreme transition process to an uncertain state of the biotic environment before the beginning of the process. Depending on the counteraction, which is clearly seen in the examples of the dynamics of insect pests, simulated scenarios of similar phenomena can develop in various ways, including destruction of the habitat. The new model based on the equation with a deviating argument describes the variant of developing the repeated flash of catastrophic character. The scenario is implemented when non-harmonic cycle N*(rτ, t) occurs, which can not be orbitally stable under the given conditions, but becomes transitive. The cycle ends with the trivial-zero value. The scenario of the most abrupt form of the eruptive phase that we simulate ends in a computational experiment by the death of the invasive population, but without forming an unbounded trajectory from the oscillations, as was the case with the destruction of the relaxation cycle of the extreme amplitude in the population flash equation in our previous work.
The Third-Order Approximation Godunov Method for the Equations of Gas Dynamics
Authors: Vasilev Eugene , Vasileva Tatiana , Kolybelkin Dmitriy , Krasovitov Boris
Published: April 2019

The paper suggests a new modification of Godunov difference method with the 3rd order approximation in space and time for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The diёerence scheme uses the simultaneous discretization of the equations in space and time without of Runge — Kutta stages. An exact or approximate solution of Riemann problem is applied to calculate numerical fluxes between cells. Before the time step, corrections to the arguments of the Riemann problem providing third-order approximations for linear systems are calculated. After the time step, the numerical solution correction procedure is applied to eliminate the second-order error arising from the nonlinearity of the equations. The paper presents the results of experimental numerical verification of the method approximation order on the exact smooth solution inside the fan of the expansion wave. The test results completely confirm the third order of the presented method. The proposed approach of constructing third-order difference schemes can be used for inhomogeneous and two-dimensional hyperbolic systems of nonlinear equations.

Published: April 2019

Background

The financial burden experienced by patients with cancer represents a barrier to clinical trial participation, and interventions targeting patients’ financial concerns are needed. We sought to assess the impact of an equity intervention on clinical trial patients’ financial burden.

Materials and Methods

We developed an equity intervention to reimburse nonclinical expenses related to trials (e.g., travel and lodging). From July 2015 to July 2017, we surveyed intervention and comparison patients matched by age, sex, cancer type, specific trial, and trial phase. We longitudinally assessed financial burden (e.g., trial-related travel and lodging cost concerns, financial wellbeing [FWB] with the COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity [COST] measure) at baseline, day 45, and day 90. We used longitudinal models to assess intervention effects over time.

Results

Among 260 participants, intervention patients were more likely than comparison patients to have incomes under $60,000 (52% vs. 24%, p < .001) and to report travel-related (41.0% vs. 6.8%, p < 0.001) and lodging-related (32.5% vs. 2.0%, p < .001) cost concerns at baseline. Intervention patients were more likely to report travel to appointments as their most significant financial concern (24.0% vs. 7.0%, p = .001), and they had worse FWB than comparison patients (COST score: 15.32 vs. 23.88, p < .001). Over time, intervention patients experienced greater improvements in their travel-related (−10.0% vs. +1.2%, p = .010) and lodging-related (−3.9% vs. +4.0%, p = .003) cost concerns. Improvements in patients reporting travel to appointments as their most significant financial concern and COST scores were not statistically significant.

Conclusion

Cancer clinical trial participants may experience substantial financial issues, and this equity intervention demonstrates encouraging results for addressing these patients’ longitudinal financial burden.
Use of recycled materials in floating stone columns
Authors: Shahverdi Mohsen , Haddad Abdolhosein
Published: April 2019

In this research, to improve the bearing capacity of a soft clay bed, the performance of floating stone columns constructed of recycled aggregates from demolition waste was investigated. For this purpose, a single stone column with three types of materials, including recycled crushed brick (CB), recycled crushed concrete (CC) and gravel as natural aggregates was modelled. Furthermore, the quality of the recycled aggregates used was evaluated by aggregate index tests such as the aggregate crushing value and the aggregate impact value. The results of the recycled aggregate index tests demonstrated a poorer performance of these materials compared to the natural aggregate. Despite this, the bearing capacity of the clay bed reinforced with the floating column, which was filled with CB or CC, was approximately five times the bearing capacity of the unreinforced clay bed. Moreover, the loading results showed that the floating stone columns constructed of a type of aggregate delivered a better performance in comparison with the columns constructed of a combination of several types of recycled aggregates together or a combination of natural and recycled aggregates.
Application of coal-powder borehole-sealing material in borehole-sealing engineering
Authors: Li Hui , Guo Shaoshuai , Chen Haidong
Published: April 2019

In order to make scientific analysis of the material of the coal-powder borehole-sealing technology and verify its actual sealing performance, the authors performed studies involving laboratory experiments and field tests. The research results are shown as follows. (a) The borehole-sealing material has good microexpansion properties. With an increase in additive proportion, the expansion and strength of the sealing material increase. In addition, contraction expansibility is also affected by the water/material ratio of the slurry. The smaller the water/material ratio is, the greater the degree of deformation becomes. (b) Considering the coal-powder borehole-sealing material’s expansion properties, strength characteristics and application cost determined the optimum composition ratio of the coal-powder borehole-sealing material: the volume of coal powder accounted for 70% and the additive volume accounted for 30%. In this condition, the expansion rate and maximum compressive strength of the sealing material are 6‰ and 7·30 MPa, respectively. (c) The gas concentration extracted out of the borehole sealed by using the coal-powder sealant is slightly higher than that for the borehole sealed by using expansive cement (72·50 and 69·65%, respectively).
Impact of pile roughness on shaft resistance in sand
Authors: El Haffar Ismat , Blanc Matthieu , Thorel Luc
Published: April 2019

The impact of pile roughness on shaft resistance was studied using centrifuge modelling. Two types of piles with different roughness were jacked in flight at 100g in dense and medium dense Fontainebleau NE34 sands. An experimental method was used to infer the pile shaft and tip capacities. For the piles tested in this study, an increase in pile roughness and sand density increased the shaft resistance significantly. Pile roughness was also found to affect the ratio of the tension to compression shaft resistances. The experimental results obtained were compared with those obtained using the Imperial College pile (ICP) method for different angles of friction. The variation in friction angle according to pile roughness and sand density showed that the ICP method provides a good estimate of pile shaft resistance.

Justificativa e Objetivos: É essencial conhecer os microrganismos presentes em hemoculturas de pacientes pediátricos internados para uma melhor escolha da terapêutica antibiótica. Dessa forma, este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar a associação entre parâmetros clínicos e epidemiológicos com o desenvolvimento de sepse neonatal tardia em pacientes internados em um serviço de pediatria de um hospital do sul do Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal, descritivo, retrospectivo e qualiquantitativo que utilizou dados secundários oriundos dos prontuários de pacientes que apresentaram critérios clínicos para sepse neonatal, internados na Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo Neonatal (UTIN) do Hospital Santa Cruz. Resultados: Dos 588 pacientes internados na UTIN do Hospital Santa Cruz no período de 01/01/2013 a 31/12/2015, 123 recém-nascidos (RNs) preencheram os critérios para sepse neonatal tardia. Destes, 59 (47,97%) apresentaram hemocultura positiva, o que foi mais frequente em RNs prematuros (39,84%) e de baixo peso (43,90%), embora não tenha havido associação estatisticamente significativa entre estes fatores e hemocultura positiva. Dentre os possíveis fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de sepse neonatal, o uso de ventilação mecânica (p=0,005), realização de cirurgia (p=0,019) e permanência no hospital por mais de um mês (p=0,001) apresentaram associação estatística com hemocultura positiva. Os microrganismos presentes em maior frequência nas hemoculturas foram os estafilococos coagulase negativa (S. epidermidis, S. saprophyticus e S. haemolyticus), encontrados em 35,71% das hemoculturas analisadas. Conclusão: O estudo evidenciou maior prevalência de sepse neonatal tardia em RNs prematuros e de baixo peso, que necessitaram de maiores cuidados e foram submetidos a maior manipulação durante a permanência na UTIN. Procedimentos invasivos e longa permanência hospitalar se associaram significativamente com hemocultura positiva, corroborando com o descrito na literatura.
Reducing the Effects of Moral Hazard: Institutional Designs Within International Alliances
Authors: Lai Brian , Day Jonathan
Published: April 2019

What explains the level of commitment within an international military alliance? Specifically, when do alliances choose to adopt active military support for offensive uses of force versus lower levels of commitment? Drawing on the rational design of international institutions literature, this paper argues that the choice of commitment is a conscious effort to address two competing problems. The first is the potential for entrapment. Allies worry that commitments may lead other member states to act in a risky fashion, creating unnecessary conflict. The other problem is the need to demonstrate commitment in order to maximize the bargaining power of the member states. The former problem leads allies to choose lower levels of commitment like defense pacts in order to signal to alliance members what types of behaviors are acceptable. Conversely, the latter problem encourages states to make broader obligations about when they will use force. Empirically, concern for moral hazard should be more likely when there are power disparities amongst members within an alliance. Greater levels of threat facing alliance members should lead states to favor maximizing their commitments. These two arguments are tested empirically on all alliances from 1816-1992 with results supporting both conjectures.

Plant Chromatin Immunoprecipitation v1
Authors: Poza-Viejo Laura , del Olmo Ivan , Crevillén Pedro
Published: April 2019

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a crucial technique to study chromatin regulation, epigenetic phenomena and transcription factor DNA-binding in vivo. This technique is widely used in model plant systems like Arabidopsis but reliability in other plant systems is challenging. We adapted our well-established Arabidopsis ChIP protocol to be used with leaves and inflorescences of Brassica crops species (Brassica rapa and Brassica napus). This protocol was originally based on Gendrel et al. Nature Methods volume 2, pages 213–218 (2005), but has several modifications inlcluding chromatin sonication using a BioRuptor (Diagenode), immunoprecipitation using magnetic Dynabeads (Thermofisher) and DNA elution recovery performed using Chelex 100 (Bio Rad). The protocol is quick and very reproducible and has been validated against a number of histone modifications and protein tag antibodies.

An Exploratory Study of Prevalence and Predictors of Neuromyths Among Potential Mental Health Counselors
Authors: Kim So Rin , Zalaquett Carlos
Published: April 2019

Current neuroscience research demonstrates that counseling changes the mind and the brain. Several clinical mental health counseling (CMHC) programs are infusing neuroscience information into their curriculum. Learning about potential students’ knowledge and attitudes about neuroscience could help guide these efforts. This study investigated general neuroscience knowledge, attitudes toward neuroscience, presence of neuromyths, and intention to apply neuroscien-tific knowledge among undergraduate students in the helping professions. Participants included 125 undergraduates enrolled in rehabilitation counseling, psychology, or education programs. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis revealed the existence of neuromyths and high intention to apply correct and incorrect neuroscience knowledge. General knowledge was significantly associated with more neuromyths, but additional learning reduced neuromyths. Practical implications to improve the teaching of neuroscience to students in helping professions and to guide infusion of neuroscience in CMHC programs are discussed.

One of the most common symbols used in literature, water, which is both a source of life and a rich symbol of meaning, is a theme that has transformed into a real instrument of aesthetic research over the last centuries. In this article, we show how the Francophone woman writer, Marie Gevers, uses the symbol of water in Madame Orpha. We also identify some of the functions that this element has in her autobiographical text and we analyze the way in which the reveries on water are reconstituted in order to give a coherent and a meaningful writing.
Les images de l’eau dans Long cours de Simenon
Authors: Horányi Lilla
Published: April 2019

In this paper we examine the way Simenon uses violent images of water in Long cours (1936). This exotic novel tells the wanderings of Joseph Mittel who leaves France with Germaine, wanted for murder. Through the analysis of the incipit and the passage about the first days of Mittel as a stoker on the boat of a smuggler we show that Simenon creates a network of references in order to elucidate the failure of the exotic experience of the main character. This allows us to reflect on Simenon’s writing process as well.
Prevalence of maternal periodontitis and its association with preterm and low birth weight infants: a hospital-based study
Authors: S. Priyanka , Koteshwara Sowmya , Subappa Anitha
Published: April 2019

Background: Preterm deliveries and low birth are important causes of infant mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between maternal periodontitis and preterm and low birth weight at delivery and to correlate the severity of periodontitis with obstetric outcome.Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted in Outpatient Department of Tertiary Care Hospital. Pregnant women who had regular antenatal checkup at were screened clinically for periodontitis. Those who were diagnosed with periodontitis and satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered as cases (n=45) and equal number of pregnant women without periodontal disease (n=45) were included in the study as controls. These patients were followed up and gestational age at delivery and baby’s birth weight was noted and correlated to the maternal periodontal status.Results: The prevalence of maternal periodontitis was found to be 11.4%. Mean age, socioeconomic status and educational status was comparable. 33.3%, 40% of the cases v/s 17.8%, 24.4% of controls had preterm deliveries and LBW infants respectively. 26.8% of cases with mild periodontitis and all cases of moderate and severe periodontitis had preterm birth. Additionally, 34.1% of cases with mild periodontitis and all cases with moderate and severe periodontitis had low birth weight infants (p=0.02).Conclusions: Maternal periodontitis is found to be associated with preterm and low birth weight deliveries. The severity of periodontitis is inversely related to gestational age at delivery and birth weight of infant. Thus, periodontitis is suggested to be a modifiable risk factor for preterm and low birth deliveries.
A cross sectional study on severe acute maternal morbidity near-miss at tertiary care centre in Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Authors: Mummadi Mahesh Kumar , Javvaji Sowmya
Published: April 2019

Background: A maternal near-miss case is defined by World Health Organization (WHO) as “a woman who nearly died but survived a complication that occurred during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy.” Severe acute maternal morbidity (SAMM) is the acronym for the more popular term of ‘near-miss’ cases. There are approximately 118 life threatening events of “near miss mortality” or SAMM for each maternal death. Analysing near miss cases can prevent maternal death.Methods: It is a retrospective study based on medical records. Sample size is all the pregnant cases admitted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in AIMSR, Hyderabad, Telangana, India over the period of January 2015- June 2017 (two and half years) i.e. 2276. All records were gathered and each record that satisfy near miss criteria/maternal mortality were segregated, data has been collected on the occurrence of severe pregnancy-related complications or those who require critical interventions and admission to intensive care unit as per the proforma (according to WHO near miss questionnaire). Data entry done in MS Excel and analyzed using Epi Info.Results: Total MNM/SAMM patients were 85 out of 2276 pregnant women (3.7%). The duration of the stay, potential life-threatening conditions (PTLC), critical interventions, organ dysfunctions, mode of delivery, treatment for PPH, hypertensive disorders and associated conditions among SAMM patients were calculated. SAMM patients who has severe post-partum hemorrhage PPH were 24.7%, severe pre-eclampsia was 31.7%, eclampsia was 2.4%, patients with both severe PPH and eclampsia were 2.4%.Conclusions: Near misses can be prevented to some extent by spreading awareness about possible obstetric complications and risk stratification. The WHO tool for analysis of maternal near miss or SAMM can identify more preventable causes of maternal death. Prospective monitoring of maternal morbidity may be useful in identifying determinants of severe maternal mortality.

Authors: G. Kavitha , D. Anitha
Published: April 2019

Background: Prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) remains the best measure in the prevention of ovarian cancer as it lacks an effective screening tool. The need to perform prophylactic BSO shouldn't dictate the route of surgery. To assess the feasibility of prophylactic BSO during vaginal hysterectomy. To analyze the safety of the vaginal BSO.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Velammal Medical College, Madurai, Tamilnadu, India from June 2016 to June 2018 over a period of 3 years. 54 women who underwent hysterectomy for benign uterine disease in whom concomitant prophylactic BSO was attempted were included in the study. Preoperative data like age, parity, menopausal status, BMI, previous pelvic surgeries were noted from the admission record. Intraoperative details like indication for surgery, surgical procedure, duration of surgery and complications like hemorrhage, bladder, ureter and bowel injury were collected from the operative record. Postoperative recovery details were also noted down from the case sheet. The collected data were then analyzed.Results: Of the 54 women included in the study, transvaginal BSO was successful in 53 (98.1%) women. There was one case of primary haemorrhage due to slippage of ovarian pedicle, another patient required laparotomy for completing BSO. None had bladder, ureter or bowel injury.Conclusions: Prophylactic BSO is both feasible and safe in almost all patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy. Developing the skill to perform transvaginal BSO can inspire gynaecologists to move a step forward and deal with benign adnexal pathology concomitantly at vaginal hysterectomy. The risk of remnant ovarian syndrome post vaginal oophorectomy is unknown.

Authors: Paris Jamie
Published: April 2019

Jamie Paris reviews the November 10, 2018 semi-staged reading of John Lyly's Galatea on the Goldcorp Stage at the new BMO Theatre Centre in Vancouver, BC. The venture was a collaboration between the University of British Columbia, Bard on the Beach, and the Oecologies project. Paris describes the production, locates Lyly's politics, and reflects on the production's lessons about potential early stagings. Paris concludes with questions about the production's sexual politics and its potential engagement with environmental issues.

Work is devoted to studying the effect of implantation of nitrogen ions into the surfaceof austenitic stainless steels to improve their functional properties. Four grades ofaustenitic corrosion-resistant steels 02H16N10M2, 08H15AG10D2, 06H15AG9NM2 and09H15AG9ND2 were taken after cold plastic deformation and annealing from 680 ∘Cin water and subsequent implantation with N+ ions with different radiation dose: 0,01 и0,1%. It was found that irradiation of austenitic stainless steels with nitrogen ions can beconsidered an effective way to increase the hardness and yield strength of steels in theoperation in a corrosive environment.

Influence of Fiscal Asymmetric Decentralization on Household Effects—A Review of Recent Literature

The study is in line with Oates (1951), where fiscal decentralization is explained as the delegation of income and consumption powers from the central government to the devolved units, both local and national levels within the framework of decentralization. Fiscal decentralization is considered to be the panacea in eradicating poverty, particularly in developing countries. This review entails the assessment of the influence of fiscal asymmetric decentralization on household effects. Specifically, the review looks at the interaction between budget efficacy, fiscal policy, and county treasury management and household effects. Despite the fact that scholarly work has been conducted on all the concepts, arguably inadequate attention has been given to the influence of fiscal asymmetric decentralization on household effects. Furthermore, scanty information was found on revenue disparity or financial planning attributes. In addition, not much has been done on fiscal control by subnational governments and self-fiscal reliance as counties continue to rely on funding from the national governments although counties have considerable potential to generate their own revenue. The challenges of comprehensive results are observed, and the study concludes that it appears critical to focus more on analysis that will establish the link of control theory and practice, which will need more firm and integrative study process.
Modeling the behavior of thin-walled tubes with different fillers at the maximum load in solving the problems of crashworthiness
Authors: Goncharov R.B. , Zuzov V.N. , Chaiko D.N.
Published: April 2019

The article considers issues related to the choice of effective finite-element modeling thin-walled tubes with different types of fillers (imitating elements of car bodies and cabs of frame-type cars) with quasi-static bending load, causing the tube and filler to collapse, in the context of optimal design. Thin-walled pipes made of aluminum alloy AMg6 with aluminum foam fillers; epoxy resin and composite (consisting of Poraver balls and epoxy resin) were the subject of the study. Aluminum foam is an elastoplastic material; it is one of the best fillers for solving the problems of crashworthiness, although it requires expensive technological equipment for filling. Epoxy resin is a fragile material, but inexpensive, affordable and technologically “convenient”. In addition to the influence of the filler on the tube mechanical properties the effects of the constrained behavior of the filler material under the ultimate bending loading of the tube are investigated. To verify the theoretical assumptions, tests were performed on the Zwick Z100 universal testing machine (for a hollow thin-walled tube made of aluminum alloy and similar tubes with fillers). Here there are the results of numerical computations and the results of the experiment (the error of calculations does not exceed 8 %). The most rational material in terms of energy-mass ratio is aluminum foam (with an increase in sample mass of 2.1 times the mechanical properties increased tenfold). Other fillers give much worse results for the same parameters. Using the proposed finite element models (FEM), allows assessment of the effectiveness of existing and being created filler materials for refining the car bodies and cabs according to the requirements of crashworthiness
Sectioning method application to determine stress intensity factor along the front of a semi-elliptical transverse edge crack in a stretched flat bar
Authors: Pokrovskiy A.M. , Dubovitsky E.I.
Published: April 2019

The article presents the developed method of analytic determination of the stress intensity factor distribution along the front of a semi-elliptical edge transverse crack in a flat bar stretched by constant stresses. The calculation is based on the method of sections. According to the method, the equilibrium equation for the normal force is written, which comes to the equality of the normal forces at the free end of the bar and in the plane of the crack. We show that between the values of the stress intensity factor at the deepest point and at the point coming to the surface, one can introduce a rigid constraint depending on the ratio of the crack depth to its half-length and the ratio of the crack depth to the bar thickness. The introduction of this connection allowed to use only one equilibrium equation in the calculation. To test the obtained data for a bar of infinite width, we compared this data and the results of calculating the stress intensity factor from the approximation formulae available in the reference literature. The possibility of using the developed methodology for a flat bar of finite width is justified by comparing the results of calculation by the proposed method with numerical values obtained in the process of solving the problem by the finite element method in the ANSYS software environment

Published: April 2019

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2015-16 at the Students’ Research Farm, Khalsa College Amritsar, on sandy loam soil, low in organic carbon and available N, Medium in available P and high in available K. Field experiment
was laid out in split plot design comprising four methods of sowing such as (Bed Planting, Zero tillage, Flat drilling, Happy seeder) and two row orientation as (North-South and East-West) replicated four times. Bed planting method produced
significantly higher growth characters (i.e. plant height, leaf area index and dry matter accumulation, yield contributing characters effective tillers, grains ear-1, grain and straw yield, harvest index and B C ratio) than happy seeder and zero
tillage sowing Bed planting recorded 14% and 10.48% higher grain yield over happy seeder and zero tillage sowing, respectively. Between row orientations, north-south row orientation produced higher growth and yield attributes than east-west whereas
grain yield and biological yield was 3.86% and 3.77% higher than east-west sowing direction respectively.
