Neem seed kernel was subjected to supercritical fluid carbon dioxide (SCF) process and evaluated for the inhibition of selected dermatophytes such as Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The extraction was carried out by SCF-CO2 at 300 bar 50 °C with and without entrainer (30 % methanol and acidified methanol). Results showed that the inhibition of the growth of all the dermatophytes is maximum in the extract obtained at 300 bar 50 °C with methanol (SCF-Me) followed by 300 bar 50 °C without methanol (SCF). The acidified SCF (SCF-MeA) extract did not show any remarkable inhibition. Of the dermatophytes, SCF-Me showed the inhibition against Candida parapsilosis of 18.46±0.25 mm compared to Candida albicans 16±0.26 mm, whereas the methanol control exhibited 10±0.3 mm inhibition. Out of the two fungal organisms, SCF-Me inhibited the growth of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes at 21.53±0.23 mm and 18.1±0.1 mm respectively. The extracts were also evaluated for its inhibition against the foodborne pathogens (bacteria, fungi, and yeast). The SCF-Me extract showed maximum inhibition against Pseudomonus aeroginosa (27.26±0.25) compared to Bacillus subtilis (24.36±0.35) at the concentration of 70mg. In fungus, Aspergillus ochraceus (16.7±0.60) was maximum when compared to Aspergillus niger (15.2±0.43) and yeast exhibited the inhibition of 15.93±0.20 at the concentration of 80mg. The dermatophytic and antimicrobial activity of the SCF-Me extract is due to the presence of higher amount of triterpenoinds such as Azadirachtin (50.7 %), 6-deacetyl nimbin (0.14 %), Nimbin (0.08 %), Salannin (1.83 %) and Epoxy azadiradione (1.58 %) which were confirmed by liquid chromatography and mass spectroscopy (LC-MS).

Soil stabilization is the process of enhancing the soil properties and making it fit for engineered purposes. The common stabilizing techniques are becoming expensive day by day due to the rise in cost of stabilizing agents which forces to find an alternative economical stabilizing agent. Thus this study aims to improve the properties of the soil by adding the waste materials like flyash and geopolymers as stabilizing agents. The soil compressive strength and water absorption for different alkaline solution to solid ratio were studied by casting stabilized soil blocks. The solid here is represented by the mixture of red soil and flyash. It was evident from the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests that as the alkaline solution to solid ratio increases, the compressive strength also increases. Optimum ratio of 0.2 was selected based on the workability conditions. It was observed that soil blocks show a decrease in 13 per cent strength than the UCS test samples prepared from the same ratio. It is evident to conclude that allowing a tolerance of 1 per cent variation, the strength of the soil blocks will remain in constrain of 12 to 15 per cent of the UCS sample test value.

Based on the researches, a model of effective investment activity has been developed. As part of the task, a system of key performance indicators (KPI) is determined that reflects the strategy for managing investment resources and signaling the state of the management object. A range of indicators is proposed that will classify factors that determine a specific investment situation. Moreover, these indicators are measured not so much in quantitative value as in qualitative. Measures of impact of state influence on increasing the investment attractiveness of industrial enterprises have been developed. It has been established that in an unstable economy, the methods of “following the investor” based on the analysis of the mass behavior of already functioning investors are more appropriate.

Nowadays, the interest of high proficiency of Lithium ion batteries is increasing as they provide high volumetric energy densities and to meet the demand of exponentially growth of electronic devices. Furthermore, LIB has shown their potential to offer high performance rechargeable battery in the research of electric vehicles. Electrochemical process of Lithium ion batteries encompasses a complex ion transport between the anode and cathode within an electrolyte. The multiscale LIB model consists of charge transport within electrode particle and in electrolyte and the reaction rate at the electrolyte-electrode particle interface which directly relating the geometry of microstructure (the size of particles, about 1nm) to the behaviour in macroscopic model (within the thickness of electrode, about 1 μm). Thus, the geometry of cell and the interfacial behaviour are significantly control the rate of reaction rate. This study concerns about the effect of geometry variations of cell upon the discharge curve of LiFePO4 cathode material. The electrochemical model is solved using Method of Lines technique by discretising the spatial variable using Finite Difference Method. The simulation result is verified with experimental data of LiFePO4 cell by Yu et. al. [14]. The effect of different sizes of particles and volume fractions upon the cell performance are examined. It has been shown that decreasing the size of electrode particles produce high cell potential but slightly low capacity. On the other hand, the optimal volume fraction is shown to be provided that all the particles are spherical and of the same size. Smaller volume fractions resulted in low capacity.

Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) consists of set of sensor nodes which can capture multimedia data as well as scalar data from the target region and transmit to the base station. The type and nature of traffic generated in WMSNs leads to congestion and it can cause substantial loss of data packets, reduced throughput and wastage of energy. In order to overcome the challenge, a cross layer protocol which adjusts the rate of transmission is proposed in this paper. As per the information provided by the MAC layer regarding buffer availability and channel traffic condition, the proposed protocol adjusts the channel access along with transmission rate of the nodes. The simulation results reveal that the proposed protocol performs better than the existing protocols with respect to packet loss, throughput and energy.

Technology today had advanced rapidly for the betterment of our life. However, agriculture seems to be left behind in the rapid progress. With the growing population nationwide, more food is required especially in the agriculture sector. Aquaponics is an efficient approach for food production which combines plant and fish farming together. In aquaponics, water quality especially the water’s pH level is crucial to be monitored regularly to ensure the fishes are in good health. However, measuring the pH level routine is no longer efficient today since the availability of technology. This study proposed a portable water quality monitoring system which currently only measures the water’s pH level since it is the most important parameter in water quality. Mainly, the system uses WeMos board and Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol for data processing and sending it to a Raspberry Pi (base station) for storage and visualisation. The device has been successfully tested at the Malaysian Institute of Sustainable Agriculture (MISA). website. The device was proven waterproof and floatable. It also can run for about 89 hours on battery only without solar panel. However, there is always area for improvement which includes adding more sensors to optimise usage of the device and also a Liquid-Crystal Display (LCD) screen for user convenience. Nonetheless, this is a step towards modernising the agriculture sector.

The erratic power supply has been a growing cause for concern in developing countries. It becomes more challenging to supply adequate energy in countries with a high population due to the increased demand and this has led to load shedding and spreading in Nigeria. Also, emissions from power plants, impacts of hydroelectric development, and risks associated with nuclear energy use have been targets for political action due to the recent pursuit of sustainability development. Also, evidence of depletion of the protective ozone layer and its impact on the environment have urged the need for rapid development of alternative power generation method void of causing adverse environmental impact. This paper, therefore, discusses the design and evaluation of a self-starting fuel less power generator using DC motor as the prime mover to generate electrical energy from an alternator. The alternator armature shaft was coupled directly with DC motor powered by a rechargeable battery. The DC motor rotates the armature of the alternator in the field coil at high speed when activated from the starting switch, which results in alternating current output voltages of 220V.

Published: November 2019

The review covers the main definitions and criteria for endemicity and enzooticity relating to natural focal zoonotic infections and, in particular, to leptospirosis. Since leptospirosis is widespread, and almost all territories are endemic for this disease, it is proposed to allocate a high, medium and low degree of endemicity on the basis of several criteria, primarily the population morbidity. The unevenness of endemicity is also important in the epidemiological analysis of the leptospirosis situation.

Aim. To study the formation of biofilms by freshly isolated and vaccine strains of Bordetella pertussis of different serotypes.Materials and methods. The intensity of biofilm formation by B. pertussis strains in 96-well round-bottom polystyrene plates by using three sowing doses of microbial cells (1,25 IOU/ml, 2,5 IOU/ml and 5,0 IOU/ml) was estimated by staining with 0,1% gentian-violet solution. The results were interpreted after measuring the optical density (OP) of the colored solvent at a wavelength of 600 nm.Results. The highest intensity of biofilm formation was found in the newly isolated strain No. 211 and vaccine strain No. 475, both belonging to serotype 1.2.3. Cultures of these strains formed dense biofilms at all sowing doses of microbial cells. Certain differences in the intensity of biofilm formation were found between freshly isolated and vaccine strains of serotypes 1.2.0 and 1.0.3, especially when using a sowing dose of 5,0 IOU/ml. Freshly isolated strains at this dose formed dense biofilms, while two of the three vaccine strains formed moderate biofilms, and one strain was dense.Conclusion. The revealed differences between the strains of B. pertussis in the intensity of biofilm formation may be associated with the peculiarities of the expression of agglutinogens, as well as other surface structures of microbial cells involved in the adhesion process on the substrate.

Authors: Skowrońska Dorota
Published: November 2019

Since constructed languages have recently been brought into focus by their prominent presence in film and television production, they have also become more attractive for academic research: several compendia, monographs, and articles have been published on the topic of classification and analysis of conlangs. Glossopoeia of Hildegard of Bingen and Suzette Haden Elgin is unique among the plethora of constructed languages in several aspects: elusive classification, unusual lexical focus, high level of completeness, and female authorship. The article investigates possible classifications of lingua ignota and Láadan, and their grammatical, lexical, and phonological characteristics. It also aims to establish the success of the languages measured against their goal stated or implied by their inventresses and the objectives generally set for constructed languages.

Abstract:
The article introduces and discusses the concept of digital capital as a necessary condition for economic growth in modern economies. The results of a comparative analysis of digitalization in Moscow and the Chechen Republic with the average Russian level are presented. Within the framework of additional conditions for economic growth, the situation regarding the state regulation of the Russian financial market was considered, namely, the consequences of the implementation by the Bank of Russia of the principle of proportional regulation of banks and non-bank credit organizations and the concept of proportional regulation and risk-based supervision of non-credit financial organizations. It is proposed to carry out a correction, firstly, the adopted strategy and program of digitalization of the Russian economy in the direction of strengthening the territorial aspect, and secondly, the approach to proportional regulation of the Russian financial market towards its decentralization.

Аннотация:
В статье введено и рассмотрено понятие «цифровой капитал» как необходимое условие экономического роста в современных экономиках. Представлены результаты сравнительного анализа цифровизации по Москве и Чеченской республике со среднероссийским уровнем. В рамках дополнительных условий экономического роста рассмотрена ситуация в части государственного регулирования российского финансового рынка, а именно последствия реализации Банком России принципа пропорционального регулирования деятельности банков и небанковских кредитных организаций и концепции пропорционального регулирования и риск-ориентированного надзора за некредитными финансовыми организациями. Предлагается провести коррекцию, во-первых, принятой стратегии и программы цифровизации российской экономики в направлении усиления территориального аспекта, а во-вторых, – подхода к пропорциональному регулированию российского финансового рынка в направлении её децентрализации.

ABSTRACT    Starved was one effort that can reduce the feed consumption and feed residues without decreasing growth of cultured fish. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of starved periodically to the specific growth rate and feed efficiency of tilapia reared in the pond. The research had been conducted in Laboratorium Budidaya Perairan, Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya Unversity on April – Juni 2016. This research method used Completely Randomized Design with four treatments and three replications that was every day feed without starvation (P0), one day feed one day starvation (P1), two days feed one day starvation (P2) and three days feed one day starvation (P3). Parameters of this research are specific growth rate, feed efficiency, survival rate and water quality (temperature, pH, DO, ammonia). The result showed that starved periodically significantly effect to the growth rate and feed efficiency of cultured tilapia in the pond. Treatment P1 (one day feed one day starvation) gave highest specific weight growth rate and specific length growth rate which were 2.32%.day-1 and 1.27%.day-1 then feed efficiency was 84.46%. The highest survival rate occurred in treatment P1 (one day feed one day starvation) 82%.
