Published: June 2024

The proliferation of counterfeit currency poses a significant threat to the global economy, necessitating the development of efficient and accurate detection methods. This paper presents a novel approach to fake currency detection using machine learning techniques. The proposed system leverages a combination of computer vision and machine learning algorithms to identify counterfeit banknotes with high accuracy. The system employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract features from images of banknotes, which are then classified as genuine or fake using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The CNN is trained on a large dataset of images of genuine and fake banknotes, while the SVM is fine-tuned to optimize its performance. The Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed system achieves an accuracy of 98.5% in detecting fake currency, outperforming traditional methods based on manual inspection and rule-based systems. The system's performance has been evaluated using a comprehensive set of metrics, including precision, recall, F1-score, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The proposed system offers several advantages, including high accuracy, speed, and scalability, making it suitable for real-world applications in banking, finance, and law enforcement. Furthermore, the system's modular design enables easy integration with existing currency processing systems, facilitating seamless deployment. This research contributes to the development of intelligent systems for fake currency detection, providing a robust and reliable solution to combat counterfeiting.

Published: June 2024

Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing. Around 140 million births take place worldwide each year, and skilled medical personnel now attend 81% of them, up from 58% in 1990. This is mostly because there are more births at a health facility. Patterns of maternal perineal morbidity have been the subject of very few community-based studies. More than half of maternal deaths take place in humanitarian and fragile environments. Between 1997 and 2020, there were approximately 1.30 million maternal deaths, with approximately 23 800 deaths in 2020. The majority of these deaths occurred in poorer states and among women between the ages of 20 and 29. The Karnataka Health Department reports that there has been a 14% decrease in maternal mortality. Despite the fact that the mortality rate has decreased, the perineal morbidity may rise, resulting in additional complications such as trauma, urinary and bowel incontinence, constipation, and sexual dysfunction. Therefore, community-level gross root screening is required to identify mothers' complications. In order to identify post-natal perineal morbidity among mothers in the Abbigere community area of Bangalore, a descriptive research design with a pretest was used. The majority of mothers, according to the study, have mild symptoms of perineal morbidity. The discoveries of the current study have suggestions for Nursing practice on primary health nurse, as she should mastery in gross root screening to work on the maternal wellbeing and go to important preventive lengths on perineal Morbidity.

SUPPORT NEEDS IN WORKING WITH STUDENTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES - TEACHERS ' PERSPECTIVE
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Cvijetić Vukčević Marija , Kovačić Zoran ,   University of Belgrade
Published: June 2024

The aim of the study was to determine type and intensity of support that teachers consider necessary for working with students who have developmental disabilities. The sample consisted of 108 teachers, aged 24 to 61 (M=40.77; SD=9.97). The Needs Questionnaire (Rodríguez et al., 2012) was used to collect data on the required support. The results indicate a relatively high level of support needs in all four areas covered by the questionnaire, with the highest need expressed for social support, followed by the need for information and the need for additional resources, while the lowest level of support is needed in communicating about the child with developmental disability with others. The overall level of support needed by teachers from our sample does not differ statistically significantly between male and female teachers (t=0.640; p=0.524), nor between teachers employed in public and private schools (t=0.180; p=0.857). No statistically significant correlation was found between the need for support and age (r=-0.002; p=0.981) or years of work experience of the respondents (r=0.056; p=0.564). The obtained results provide an insight into the intensity and structure of teachers' needs for support in working with students with developmental disabilities and can represent a starting point for providing support aligned with the expressed needs, with the aim of increasing the quality of the teaching process.
Reconceptualising Plea Bargain As A Prosecutory Tool In Nigeria
Authors:   Lecturer, Department of Private Law, Delta State University, Abraka Delta- , Oleh Campus, Nigeria, Tessy Kore-Okiti Ejiro
Published: June 2024

Plea bargaining is relatively a new concept in Nigeria's criminal justice system. This legal strategy is designed for use by prosecutors to negotiate deals with defendants, where the defendant or accused agrees to plead guilty to a lesser charge or one among multiple charges in return for substantial concessions from the prosecution—usually a lighter sentence or even a case dismissal. However, the trend has since changed and its been put to much more pervasive use. The present use, notwithstanding, one may argue that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and other Nigerian law enforcement agencies tend to be overzealous in their conduct of plea bargains concerning suspects arrested and items seized, recovered or placed under custody. The doctrinal research method is adopted analysing the pertinent laws. The paper posits that there are some disadvantages that can be deduced from the practice of plea bargain in Nigeria. The paper further lends a voice for the establishment of guidelines and procedures detailed steps, proper procedures or legal framework should be created to guide the sale of properties recovered or seized during plea bargain. This paper advocates for the extension of plea bargaining to all types of criminal charges to enhance the efficiency and fairness of Nigeria's criminal justice system.

Bir inşaat projesinin başarısı, uygulanan çizelgeleme yöntemine ve ne kadar iyi bir şekilde yürütüldüğüne bağlıdır.
Planlama ve çizelgeleme teknikleri, başarılı projelerin gerçekleştirilmesi için çok önemlidir. Geleneksel kritik yol
yöntemi (CPM), inşaat projelerinin çizelgelenmesi için yaygın olarak kullanılmasına rağmen bazı dezavantajlara
sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, Nisan 2021’de başlayan ve Temmuz 2022’de tamamlanan Kayseri ilindeki bir konut projesine,
her bir faaliyetin süresini ayrı zaman segmentlerine ayırarak daha ince bir ayrıntı düzeyine sahip kritik yol segmentleri
(CPS) olarak adlandırılan bir teknik uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar CPM ile karşılaştırılmıştır. CPS’in CPM’e
alternatif bir çizelgeleme aracı olup olamayacağı da değerlendirilmiştir. Literatürde CPS tabanlı çalışmaların sayısı
sınırlıdır. Ayrıca yapılan çalışmalarda planlama aşaması dikkate alınmış, fiili aşama dikkate alınmamıştır. Bu nedenle
bu çalışmada CPM ve CPS kullanılarak oluşturulan çizelgeler planlanan ve gerçekleşen aşamalar için
değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, bireysel olarak CPS’in ağ gösterimini basitleştirme ve kritik yolu doğru bir şekilde
tanımlama yeteneğini kısmen de olsa göstermiştir. Ancak CPM ile kıyaslandığında, kayda değer bir avantaj sunmadığı
tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, CPS, kısmen kritik faaliyetlerde anormal bolluklar ortaya çıkarmıştır.

A pesquisa objetivou verificar a essência do turismo de experiência, especificamente no modo como pode ser aplicado na manifestação cultural do Banho de São João, em Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi feita por meio de leituras de livros, artigos e teses sobre o assunto abordado. Na pesquisa exploratória foi utilizada a técnica de entrevista aberta e semiestruturada, aplicada com pessoas inseridas em cada um dos seguintes grupos: famílias tradicionais, turistas e gestor público. Os resultados da pesquisa apontaram a existência dos elementos que comprovam o segmento, seja na demanda de turistas que procuram vivenciar uma imersão maior na cultura local por meio dos rituais preparados nas casas dos festeiros, como também na relação da oferta incentivada pelas famílias festeiras que aceitariam receber visitantes para participar ativamente na preparação dos andores do Santo. Contudo, para que a identidade cultural local continue sendo alavancada é importante destacar a necessidade de se formalizarem algumas ações estratégicas de governança local para que o segmento turístico seja trabalhado de forma que enriqueça a experiência tanto do visitante como a do morador.
MAPEAMENTO DA EROSÃO COSTEIRA NO DISTRITO DE ICARAÍ EM CAUCAIA-CEARÁ
Authors: Francisco Alyson Bueno
Published: June 2024

O litoral cearense apresenta áreas de alta suscetibilidade à erosão costeira com a existência de tabuleiros de formações quaternárias e retirada da vegetação pela ocupação das dunas. O município de Caucaia, Estado do Ceará, apresenta ocupação da faixa litorânea por edificações e vias urbanas intencionadas pelas atividades turísticas, cuja ocupação pode intensificar o desenvolvimento de processos erosivos nos topos das falésias. Foram identificados os processos erosivos em áreas de falésias por meio de imagens orbitais e em visita a campo. Na análise espacial em Sistema de Informação Geográfica, foi constatada a erosão remontante das falésias, entre os anos de 2009 e 2019, com recuo médio de 20 m. Alguns trechos apresentaram estabilidade pela construção de muros de arrimo e estruturas com britas. As áreas mais críticas da erosão costeira foram apresentadas no trecho oeste do loteamento Pacheco, com erosão de até 30 m com a presença de dunas instáveis no trecho não urbanizado. A retirada da vegetação das dunas, a ação dos ventos e a drenagem criada pelas vias urbanas não pavimentadas são os fatores que contribuem na instabilidade da formação geológica quaternária de alta suscetibilidade à erosão.
UMA AUTOETNOGRAFIA A RESPEITO DA BUROCRACIA PRESENTE NA ATIVIDADE DOCENTE NO ENSINO MÉDIO
Authors: Gomes Geovane Ferreira , Rosa Rafael Nunes
Published: June 2024

Graças a racionalização no ambiente escolar, observamos um aumento da burocracia nas atribuições docentes. Diante disso, este artigo tem por objetivo avaliar como a burocracia está presente, afeta, direciona e modela a ação do professor e os impactos no ensino-aprendizagem. A metodologia está ancorada na sociologia comparativa e compreensiva de Max Weber a partir do olhar de um professor do ensino básico em uma rede municipal. Para apreender a realidade utilizaremos como instrumento de análise metodológica a ferramenta “tipo ideal” e o conceito de burocracia weberiana. Construímos um tipo ideal de professor e comparamos com o observado na escola, para localizar oportunidades que a atividade laboral docente seja voltada à melhora educacional. Dados levantados apontam que a burocracia, representada por um conjunto de tarefas que são realizadas fora da sala de aula, já é responsável pela maioria das tarefas que são exigidas do professor. Considerando a importância de controles burocráticos pelo Estado, concluímos apontando algumas possibilidades de mudança, por exemplo na transferência de parte dessas atividades para outros profissionais e na melhora de sistemas tecnológicos. Observamos um conflito entre visões diferentes do que seria o papel docente, pois enquanto a sociedade o vê como o transmissor dos valores, na escola cabe ao professor mais atividades burocráticas que às dedicadas ao ensino. Palavras-chave: Sociologia da Educação. Max Weber. Burocracia na Educação.
O canto lítico homoafetivo: avanços, negaceiros e recusas da libido gay
Authors: Boniatti Edina , Oliveira Valdeci Batista de Melo , Polvani Rosely Sobral Gimenez
Published: June 2024

Consideramos, para a realização deste estudo, os avanços, negaceiros e recusas no que concerne à leitura e aos estudos da lírica erótica homoafetiva, lembrando que as práticas estéticas possuem um papel fundamental para intervir no modus operandi e desvelar fenômenos psíquicos e emocionais constituintes de uma politicidade do sensível. Desse modo, neste artigo, a proposta volta-se para a análise-interpretativa do poema Festim de Raimundo de Moraes, tomando, para tanto, como fio condutor, a estilística. Nesse sentido, é importante que a leitura interpretativa busque aporte teórico nos estudos sobre as figuras de estilo dispostas nos quatro níveis da estrutura formal dos poemas: nível gráfico-visual-sonoro; nível sintático; nível semântico e nível lexical, de acordo com o que a composição poética suscitar. Logo, objetivamos desvelar, mediante a imagem poética, repleta de significantes que advêm do Outro[1], vinculados à libido e ao gozo, uma profundidade ótica que revela percepções, sentires, desejos, ânsias, angústias e clamores daquele que não é regido por padrões sexuais considerados normativos em sociedades de herança patriarcal. É relevante destacar que, em Festim, a figuração do corpo revela compreensão do eu e de sua relação com o outro e demonstra a importância da imagem corporal na constituição do sujeito como elemento que mantém um papel essencial como propulsor da percepção da alteridade.[1]O Outro ou o Grande Outro, para Lacan, representa o Simbólico, ou seja, toda interpelação ideológica sociocultural sofrida pelo sujeito, por meio da linguagem, em sua vivência em sociedade.
Historia de la Facultad de Idiomas de la Universidad Veracruzana
Authors:   Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Borromeo Garcí­a César Augusto , Fernández Pérez Jorge Alejandro
Published: June 2024

La historia de la Facultad de Idiomas de la Universidad Veracruzana se remonta a 1952, cuando nace en la ciudad de Xalapa, capital del estado de Veracruz, México. Aunque en un inicio comienza como una simple escuela de enseñanza del idioma, su evolución pronto lleva a la integración de la escuela a la recién fundada Universidad Veracruzana. Desde ese momento, y hasta la actualidad, ha habido un sinfí­n de cambios, tanto internos como externos. Conocer esos cambios y contextualizarlos dentro de la historia de la institución y de los eventos en la disciplina se vuelve importante para conocer la forma en que diversas etapas institucionales han sucedido, y cómo estos cambios han impactado a la Facultad y la disciplina de enseñanza de idiomas. Debemos señalar que la Facultad de Idiomas de la Universidad Veracruzana fue pionera en la enseñanza de idiomas en México, lo que hace particularmente interesante el desarrollo de la disciplina de la enseñanza de idiomas en un contexto donde no existí­a la práctica ni escuelas o institutos donde se aprendiera sobre el tema. Dentro de la investigación doctoral que sustenta este trabajo nació la necesidad de elaborar esta cronologí­a, de forma que fuera posible observar los acontecimientos que dieron cabida a la integración de tecnologí­as en la Facultad de Idiomas y quiénes contribuyeron a esta integración. Así­, será posible observar en qué momento han llegado las polí­ticas sobre tecnologí­as, principalmente digitales y de TIC, de la institución y bajo qué condiciones. Este trabajo, por tanto, elabora dicha cronologí­a a partir de diversas fuentes escritas, y considerando las orales y anecdóticas, aunque tratando de ubicarlas en un plano documental. En este documento se buscó ser exhaustivo, pero las limitaciones de información hicieron esto difí­cil. No obstante, se logró un documento con información suficiente para contextualizar a las tecnologí­as digitales en la Facultad de Idiomas de la Universidad Veracruzana.
English as a Key Element in the Empowerment of Undergraduate ELT Female Students
Authors:   Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Castillo Ortiz Mayra , Salas Serrano Leticia Araceli
Published: June 2024

The main purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the perspectives of female university students on how learning English, in the context of an undergraduate ELT program, could empower them. The research was conducted in a public university in Mexico and the participants were a group of female students during their first semester of college studies. Data gathering through written narrative inquiry was used to gather data from the participants at the beginning and at the end of the semester. The data obtained from the participants' narratives were organized into timelines in order to follow their development and empowerment processes. Findings revealed that by majoring in ELT and especially by learning English, most of the participants broadened their worldviews and increased their expectations regarding their level of empowerment to face the future. Finally, the study shows that role models represent important figures who can lead women to get involved in an empowerment process through higher education. The study concludes that English and a support network may be key elements in an empowerment process of female college students in an ELT program.
Scrutinizing Metadiscourse Functions in Indonesian EFL Students: A Case Study on the Classroom Written and Spoken Discourses
Authors:   UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, Zahro Fatimatuz , Irham Irham , Degaf Agwin
Published: June 2024

Many scholars have investigated metadiscourse use in academic settings, but they have mostly explored written data, such as academic essays and research articles. However, spoken discourses like student presentations are rarely explored. Extant studies tend to focus on metadiscourse investigation in either native or non-native English learners' writing or speaking respectively. We argue that a comparative investigation of non-native English learners' speaking and writing permits understanding their lexical choices for making their discourse coherent. This study examines written and spoken metadiscourse markers of Indonesian EFL students, highlighting potential similarity and or differences as well as their distinctive features. In doing so, we refer to Hyland's (1998, 2004) metadiscourse markers: the interactive and interactional taxonomy. This attempt is necessary given that writing or speaking is a social practice where speakers or writers' need to provide audiences with a "channel" to understand the message. Hyland's taxonomy of metadiscourse markers enables us to shed important light on "social engagement" among speakers, writers, and audiences in the respective context. In terms of research method, we employed a quantitative approach. The data were gathered from eight student presentations and seventy writing tasks in an Academic Writing class. The findings demonstrate that interactive markers are used more frequently than interactional devices in both spoken (1616) and written discourse (278). The interactional markers, on the other hand, are reported to happen only 855 times in spoken and 133 times in written discourses. It also echoes Indonesian EFL students' communicative strategic preference that tends to connect and highlight the arguments in lieu of displaying participants' involvement.
Challenges and Strategies Employed in Comprehending Short Stories in English: The Case of Kurdish Learners
Authors:   University of Debrecen, Mohammed Peshawa
Published: June 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate the mental processes university students followed while reading short stories. It also sought to find the common problems in reading and understanding short stories and how linguistic and extra-linguistic factors formed those challenges. The total number of the participants was 15 (seven males and eight females) in three public universities in Iraqi Kurdistan. The data were recorded and collected among second year university students who were enrolled in an English short stories course in the second year of their studies in the 2014-2015 academic year. To collect the data, a think-aloud protocol was developed and questions about the text were answered verbally by the participants. A qualitative approach was adopted to analyse the obtained data descriptively. The results indicated the fact that some reading strategies were employed by the learners, these strategies were not adequate for them to fully analyse the text in a literary manner. More specifically, they attempted to answer literary questions in the same way that they answered general reading comprehension questions. The analysis of the data also revealed that lack of vocabulary was a major issue for the learners' inability in answering questions correctly. It was also found that the learners were influenced by their own cultural backgrounds and the social norms that they have been exposed to while reading and analysing short stories.

Published: June 2024

E-tandem language exchange is an online program that positively influences learners to gain knowledge and improve their linguistic and communicative competences. The main aim of this qualitative research was to analyze the advantages and drawbacks of an institutional, non-integrated e-tandem developed between a group of English learners from the Technical University of Cotopaxi, Ecuador, and Spanish learners from Miami University in Florida. Data were collected by using observation files and students' journals. The study shows that this e-tandem project positively influenced students' language learning, culture, and motivation. The students demonstrated positive attitudes toward language learning and interest in participating. Nevertheless, there were some drawbacks: technological problems, scheduling problems, the lack of a tutors' guide, compatibility of e-tandem partners, and a low level of the target language. We assert that most of these problems were related to the mode of implementation institutional and non-integrated. Furthermore, the lack of infrastructure and an administrative process affected the benefits that e-tandem offers. Based on this finding, we suggest strengthening the current program by integrating it into the curriculum so that students have a better learning experience.
MEXTESOL Journal, Vol. 45, No. 2, 2021 1 An Appraisal of Novice and Experienced Iranian EFL Instructors’ Conceptualizations of TBLT
Authors:   Shahid Beheshti University, Firoozkohi Amir Hossein , Nushi Musa
Published: June 2024

The present study examines Iranian EFL instructors' conceptualizations of task-based language teaching (TBLT) to identify whether teaching experience plays a significant role in their familiarity with the theoretical underpinnings of TBLT. One hundred sixty-two EFL instructors, reportedly practicing CLT, took part in the study; they were grouped into two categories of novice (N=74) and experienced (N=88). They were asked to fill out a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire designed by the researchers. The responses from the participants were then measured against Ellis's (2012) criteria of task. The analyses indicated that both novice and experienced language instructors lacked a clear understanding of the ins and outs of TBLT. The findings suggest that without having been fully introduced to this approach, one cannot expect teachers to perform well in a task-based classroom. Hence, not only should stakeholders, administrators, and teacher educators consider offering teaching practicum opportunities, but they also should include introductory courses and workshops at theoretical levels for all teachers, irrespective of their teaching experience.

The English syllabus provides the students of the Maritime Vocational Schools (MVS) with necessary Maritime English (ME) competence compatible with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) curriculum, or the Indonesian Seafarers Quality Standard System (QSS) Curriculum (adapted from the IMO, in an Indonesian context). The gap in the ME learning process which represents a crucial problem in the Indonesian MVS is the availability of a syllabus for the subject. This study aims to evaluate the existing ME syllabus from the 2013 Curriculum for the MVS. This evaluation seeks to discover whether the given syllabus fulfills the real demands of the workplace by comparing it with the competencies presented by the QSS Curriculum. The result of this evaluation is to redesign ME competencies according to the international maritime workplace requirements. Observations, questionnaires, and interviews regarding the English competencies used on board ship were utilized to gather qualitative and quantitative data. The results indicated that (1) the current ME syllabus is acceptable for six out of the eight competencies proven to be needed for deck officer class IV, and (2) a new ME syllabus consisting of fourteen ME competencies according to the 2013 curriculum, The results of a needs analysis in the maritime workplace is proposed.

Authors:   Bridgewater State University, Keh Melissa Latham , Swartzendruber Danielle ,   Marlborough Public Schools
Published: June 2024

Instructional coaching is a professional development model that seeks to improve classroom practice through a collaborative, non-evaluative partnerships between teachers and coaches. Although existing literature suggests that coaching in pre-service teacher programs is relatively uncommon, the limited research on its use is promising. This exploratory case study examined one coaching partnership between a pre-service English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher and an English language teaching (ELT) faculty member during a course for adult paraprofessional educators learning to take an exam required for teaching licensure. The results of a qualitative document analysis of reflective writing, email correspondence and an audio-recorded phone conversation suggest that instructional coaching supported the pre-service ESL teacher through the use of unique coaching elements, including modeling, a window on the coach's reflective process, opportunities to request specific feedback and the coach's familiarity with the pre-service teacher's students. The coaching partnership also provided an opportunity for the ELT faculty member to grow professionally. Our findings point to the importance of positive interpersonal dynamics in the coaching relationship and the need for clear goal setting, expectations and scheduling logistics.

The Impact of Visual and Audiovisual Inputs on Voice Perception and Production: Exploring the Role of Immersive Virtual Reality in Clinical Practice
Authors:   University of Delaware, Verdolini Kittie
Published: June 2024

Sensory feedback is crucial for regulating pitch, loudness and other aspects of voice and speech perception and production. (1) Auditory input is traditionally considered the primary signal in speech communication. One of many examples leading to this reasonable conclusion are studies showing that deaf infants exhibit delayed articulatory precision in babbling and phonological deficits during puberty. (2,3) Other studies have found that superior auditory skills enhance pitch accuracy in voice production, revealing the relationship between auditory input and voice production. (4) Interestingly, other evidence indicates that blind children may also experience phonological deficits. (5) Additionally, incongruent audiovisual input impacts speech perception. (6) Despite these findings, the influence of visual input on individuals’ voice perception and production has largely been overlooked.

Published: June 2024

The LG-02 Darussalam distribution network, within the operational area of PT. PLN (Persero) ULP Lhokseumawe City, shows low voltage issues at the Gg. Damai and Bakso Pakde substations. According to PT. PLN standards, transformers face adverse loading conditions if usage exceeds 80% capacity. Specifically, Gg. Damai operates at 88.5% capacity and Bakso Pakde at 94.4%, resulting in a voltage drop of 370 Volts from the nominal 400 Volts at end consumer service phases. SPLN T6.001-2013 recommends that voltage differences at supply terminals not exceed ±10% of the system's nominal voltage, allowing a maximum drop of 360 Volts between phases under normal conditions. Failure to address these issues promptly risks further significant voltage drops. To resolve voltage drop and power loss problems, this study proposes a network repair plan using ETAP 19.0.1 software to align consumer-side voltage and transformer loading with PLN standards. Repair measures include installing additional transformers in the low-voltage distribution network. Post-repair assessments indicate a voltage drop reduction of +2.5% or an increase of approximately 10 Volts at both substations.
Study the Influence of Tin Oxide SnO2 Doping on the Optical and Structural Properties of Titanium Oxide TiO2
Authors: Ismail Asawir SH. , Mahmud Qassim H.
Published: June 2024

Titanium dioxide thin films, along with varying tin oxide ratios, were applied onto quartz substrates through pulsed laser deposition. The samples included pure TiO2 and doped versions ranging from 5% to 25%. The deposition parameters were kept constant at an energy level of 1000 mJ and a frequency of 6 Hz. Analysis via atomic force microscopy revealed that higher doping percentages correlated with increased surface roughness and grain diameter, indicating larger particle growth. Additionally, the absorption coefficient rose with higher doping ratios, peaking at 25% SnO2. This increase in absorption coefficient accompanied a decrease in the optical energy gap due to thicker film deposition, leading to higher absorbance and lower transmittance.
A method for efficiently solving the IAST equations with an application to adsorber dynamics
Authors: Landa Héctor Octavio Rubiera , Flockerzi Dietrich , Seidel‐Morgenstern Andreas
Published: July 2012

The Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) developed by Myers and Prausnitz and Radke and Prausnitz provides a powerful tool to calculate multicomponent adsorption equilibria based on single component adsorption isotherms. An important aspect of the application of IAST is that it requires the solution of an implicit algebraic system of equations. Analytical solutions can be derived only for few simple single component isotherm models. This work offers a new concept to solve the equations of the IAST for mixtures of N components characterized by nondecreasing single component adsorption isotherm behavior. The approach is based on transforming the algebraic system of IAST equations to a system of ODEs with one specified initial value. This work also provides analytical expressions for the partial derivatives of the predicted adsorption equilibria and increases the efficiency of numerical calculations for fixed‐bed adsorber dynamics. The strength of the solution method is illustrated in case studies. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 59: 1263–1277, 2013
A data‐driven rolling‐horizon online scheduling model for diesel production of a real‐world refinery
Authors: Cuiwen Cao , Xingsheng Gu , Zhong Xin
Published: July 2012

A rolling‐horizon optimal control strategy is developed to solve the online scheduling problem for a real‐world refinery diesel production based on a data‐driven model. A mixed‐integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) scheduling model considering the implementation of nonlinear blending quality relations and quantity conservation principles is developed. The data variations which drive the MINLP model come from different sources of certain and uncertain events. The scheduling time horizon is divided into equivalent discrete time intervals, which describe regular production and continuous time intervals which represent the beginning and ending time of expected and unexpected events that are not restricted to the boundaries of discrete time intervals. This rolling‐horizon optimal control strategy ensures the dimension of the diesel online scheduling model can be accepted in industry use. LINGO is selected to be the solution software. Finally, the daily diesel scheduling scheme of one entire month for a real‐world refinery is effectively solved. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 59: 1160–1174, 2013

Published: July 2012

Here we report on a family with two siblings born to unrelated healthy parents, one with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and the other with Noonan syndrome (NS). Molecular investigations performed on the NF1 and PTPN11 genes showed two independent de novo mutations as a cause for NF1 in the NF1 proband and NS in her affected brother. Both de novo mutations were potentially of paternal origin, given the advanced paternal age at the time of conception. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
