Obesity accumulates fat in the body may cause hypertension and change intracranial pressure waveform morphology (ICP). However, not clear how and when it occurs. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the ICP waveform morphology and P2/P1 ratio during the development of obesity. Sixteen 45-day-old male Wistar rats, after 60 days of adaptation were divided into non-obese (NOB, n = 7) and obese (OB, n = 9). The OB group received a high-fat diet and the NOB group received a standard diet for 24 weeks. ICP, body composition, blood pressure (BP), and heart rate(HR) were assessed every 4 weeks. Two-Way ANOVA was used for the area under the curve with Bonferroni's test, or Student's t-test for BP, and HR. Body mass(BM) and body fat(BF) and fat-free mass(FFM) were higher in OB rats. There was no difference in BP, but there was a difference in HR, greater in OB. The ICP decreased by NOB. These results suggest that the increase in BM and BF caused obesity, and BM can explain the increase in FFM. Although we did not find pathological states of ICP, NOB demonstrated better brain compliance, and the upward trend in the P2 waveform in OB may indicate impairment to the ICP of OB rats.

The skin and lungs are barriers to environmental threats such as toxic chemicals and microbial pathogens. The integrity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the dermal papillae in the skin and the interstitium in the lungs is critical for tissue homeostasis. However, it is difficult to improve the ECM integrity in the skin and lung simultaneously. Previously, we reported that eggshell membrane (ESM) provided a young ECM environment to dermal fibroblasts in vitro and in mouse skin and increased the elasticity of human skin. Herein, lung fibroblasts cultured on ESM showed markedly higher type III collagen, decorin, and MMP2 levels. Oral ESM administration in mice markedly increased the type III collagen and decorin levels in lung tissues after 2 weeks, and type III collagen, decorin, and MMP2 levels in the papillary dermis after 4 weeks. Furthermore, in a double-blind study involving 30 adults, the arm skin elasticity significantly increased after 8 weeks of ESM administration. Simultaneously, the Tiffeneau-Pinelli index, which is correlated with lung elasticity, increased also significantly. To further explore the effects of ESM on the lungs, we used a mouse model of bleomycin-induced fibrosis. In these mice, ESM significantly suppressed fibrosis at 2 weeks and increased the type III collagen levels in the bronchioles and decorin levels in the alveoli, which was implicated in the suppression of lung fibrosis. Thus, oral ESM intake may prevent the age-dependent decline of the papillary dermis and pulmonary fibrosis by improving the extracellular environment in skin and lung tissues.

Published: March 2021

Background: There are diverse physio-pathological stimuli, including denervation, fasting, aging, and systematic diseases, which can trigger skeletal muscle atrophy. Creatine (Cr) serves as fast energy buffer in skeletal muscle, thus plays an important role in muscular energy homeostasis and involves in protein metabolism. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the supplemental effect of Cr on protein accumulation at malnutrition state mimicked by in vitro serum-free culture. We also hypothesized that Cr functions as a source of energy to contribute the protein deposition at fasting state.Methods: We used serum-free medium to mimic the fasting state. The primary myoblast were obtained from the breast muscle of specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicks. The protein synthesis rate, ATP level, and mitochondrial function of myotubes were measured. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/P70S6 kinase (P70S6K) and ubiquitin proteasome (UP) pathways were evaluated.Results: Cr treatment alleviated myotube atrophy and enhanced protein deposition by inhibiting these genes expression involved in UP pathway. Meanwhile, the present result indicated that Cr supplementation increased ATP level, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), upregualted the transcriptional coactivators peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) expression, and decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, suggesting that Cr improves mitochondrial quality. Glucose treatment increased protein content and myotube diameter. Meanwhile, glucose supplementation improved mitochondrial quality indicated by the observation of increased myotube ATP level, MMP and PGC1α expression and decreased ROS accumulation. In the present of glucose, however, the favorable effect of Cr on protein content and myotube diameter disappeared. Conclusions: The present results suggest that at fasting state, Cr take a favorable effect on protein deposition via suppression of UP pathway and amelioration of mitochondrial quality of myotubes by serving as an energy substrate. The result highlights the potential clinical application for the modulation of muscle atrophy at fasting state.

Authors:   Transbaikal State Universit, Zimina N.
Published: March 2021

Modern political parties and their regional branches have become an integral part of the political system of society, an important participant in public administration. They have their own organizational and legal basis, are registered as a non-profit organization, have their own Charter, program, leaders, and own goals and objectives. One of the tasks of any political party is to participate in managing the life of society, in solving its issues. One of the party’s tasks is to participate in public administration by representing the interests of the population of the regions during elections at various levels and during the inter-election period. Political parties are a political institution and represent an ideological, conceptual, personnel and electoral resource of any government. Regional branches of political parties in the current political situation fully represent the needs of the regions and represent them in the elections. They reflect regional interests, as well as the degree of democracy of regional authorities

Distributionsrevolution des 15. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Jenks Stuart
Published: March 2021

The Distribution Revolution of the Fifteenth CenturyThe consumption revolution of the long eighteenth Century (c. 1650-1850) was inconceivable without a prior distribution revolution in Northwest Europe, in the course of which markets were linked in a stable hierarchy reaching from the international fairs of Antwerp and Frankfurt down to humble packmen tramping from village to village. The exotic products of the consumption revolution did not have to surmount any significant distribution problems, because the networks had been functioning since the fifteenth Century. The proof of this hypothesis is divided into two parts, one empirical and the other theoretical. The foundation of some 2000 weekly markets in England between 1200 and 1350 resulted from the interaction of peasants’ cash requirements and improved transportation by horse: There was much money to be made by establishing markets, but peasants could choose between them. This set in train a brutal winnowing of markets which was intensified in the late middle ages by the effects of the plague, the enclosure movement and price-wage developments. In the end, the surviving markets had organized themselves into a hierarchy based on London, which was, by 1500, indisputably the center of foreign trade and the distribution of imports in England. This section concludes by showing that the hierarchization of markets was also characteristic of the Hanseatic area during the same period. The theoretical part of the paper demonstrates that the hierarchization of markets changed the framework for economic actors in a way no person or group could alter. Late medieval industrial mass production, succeeded by early modern proto-industrialization, required efficient labor markets and distribution networks. Placing the price signals generated by urban markets at the center of the argument solves a number of troubling problems of proto-industrialization: the geographical concentration of proto-industries, the outsourcing of simple tasks (and the retention of more sophisticated processes) and thesubsequent urbanization of rural industrial clusters. It also allows us to go beyond Diamond and Krugman and construct a real-world model of the rise of market hierarchization, as traders exploited scale economies derived from the difference between urban Wholesale and rural retail prices, and - by concentrating their trade on the most liquid provincial markets (thus maximizing thick market externalties) - locked these satellite markets into the hierarchy. An examination o f the policies o f the London Grocers and Mercers proves that this did, indeed, take place in the course of the fifteenth Century. Therefore, the distribution revolution was a true revolution, one which changed forever the framework for economic actors in a way 110 person or group could alter (,economic Constitution‘).

The saga of the Portuguese figsWhen Bob Cratchit in Charles Dickens’ ,Christmas CaroL made his wishes for Christmas, he hoped for a new job. love and some figgy pudding. From the 16th Century (at the latest) figgy pudding was one of the traditional dishes in English Lenten cuisine. The figs used were certainly South-European, and in the Middle Ages most of them came from Portugal. This article deals with five aspects of the production and trade of figs in the Portuguese realm. In the first two parts the article describes the production of these dried fruits and how local communities acted as protectors of the regional harvest. Then the units of measure of fig production in Portugal and their Arabic and Christian origin will be outlined, while the last two parts deal with the export of the dried fruits, chiefly to England and Flanders, and the direct connection between Portuguese and Hanseatic merchants. The article will show how important this trade was, given that the king of Portugal alone exported 400 tons of figs to Bruges at the end of the 15th Century.
Normierung und Standardisierung im Schiffbau zur Zeit des Überganges zur Frühen Neuzeit

Norms and standards in ship-building on the cusp of the early modern era. Ship’s holds and fundamental changes in Baltic shippingOne of the many notions which has, over the decades, hardened into an unquestioned ‘historians’ fact’ (i.e. an axiom unsupported by the sources) is the maxim that medieval Hanseatic shipbuilding was purely a matter of tradition. Building a ship did allegedly not rely on any written records, nor did it generate written norms or instructions for later naval architects. Consequently, Hanseatic shipbuilders did not follow any particular standards and could not be required to do so. According to the prevailing school of thought, ships of this time were simply “shaped with an axe”, a view that was elevated to an axiom.

In this paper, I will question this axiom. I argue that medieval Hanseatic naval architecture was not a purely individual undertaking, based solely on tradition. I will focus on ships’ holds, since their characteristics were most likely to have been influenced by economic considerations. This will be flanked by an analysis of the changes in the character of maritime transport of goods enforced by the “Baienfahrt” (to the Bay of Bourgneuf), since the freight (principally salt) was taken aboard as bulk commodity (rather than being shipped in barrels or the like). This requires us to take into consideration the increasing size of ships, which in turn led to changes in logistics and the forms of ownership. Increasingly, the chief concern of a shipbuilder must surely have been protecting the commodities in the hold from moisture. In form, the hold resembled a barrel, being more or less circular, and this led shipbuilders to pay strict attention to the proper dimensions and hence to the early development of norms for shipbuilding. The term ‘hulk’ which comes to the fore in Hanseatic sources could be an indication of this development. This argument is buttressed not only by the evidence legal history provides, but also by analogy with the convergence of the systems of weights and measures in other branches of woodworking closely related to shipbuilding by the fact that those artisans involved, like the shipbuilders, were organized in guilds. Convergence of this sort must surely have led to much more exact planning of the dimensions and shape of ships yet to be built and consequently to more specified contracts between ship owners and naval architects. The paper closes with a consideration of whether the classic measure of ship size, the last, can, in fact, be taken to be equivalent to two tons.
Vom Feld aufs Schiff

This article analyses the rice trade between Valencia and Flanders from the late fourteenth to the end of the fifteenth century. That such an analysis is possible at all is due to the information revealed by Valencian sources and by the documents left to us by the foreign agents (overwhelmingly Italian merchants) who took an interest in Valencia. The article follows rice from production in the fields surrounding Valencia through its sale in the city for commercial purposes and to its export by sea, tracing the paths that linked countryside and city, production and market and, finally, the local and the international economy. Rice played a considerable role in the trade between Valencia and Flanders for two reasons. The first is quantitative: large amounts of rice – upwards of hundreds of thousands of kilograms per annum in the fifteenth century – were exported. The second is qualitative: the rice market was relatively ‘competitive’, because institutions played only a very minor role and commercial capital never managed to erect a monopoly in this sector.
'Siegel' des Hansischen Geschichtsvereins von 1871 und 1942/43
Authors: Lokers Jan
Published: March 2021

Since its inception in 1871, the Hanseatic History Association (Hansischer Geschichtsverein) has used two different ‘seals’ or logos in its publications. While both reflect different conceptions of the Hanse, both were attuned precisely to the political climate, making a politically charged statement about what ‘the’ Hanse ‘really’ was (or, seen retrospectively, should have been). In both cases, the Reich, symbolized by a double-headed eagle, was the central iconographic element. In 1871 as in 1942 / 43, the iconography of the seal was conceived to communicate the Association’s ambition to contribute to the ‘rediscovery of the Hanseatic spirit’ and thus to catapult the historical Hanse (as well as the scholars who studied it) to prominence on the contemporary scene. The revision of the seal after 1941 was motivated by the desires of prominent Hanseatic historians to harness Hanseatic scholarship to the propaganda juggernaut of the Nazi period.

Published: March 2021

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated proteins are components of the adaptive immunity system, protecting against foreign DNA, which are present in many bacteria species. Recent years have brought extensive research on this system however, not all of its biological properties have been discovered so far. It was recently discovered that CRISPR-Cas can regulate the formation of biofilm and is closely associated with the DNA repair system in bacterial cells. It is also likely that some of the spacer sequences are complementary to short sequences in the bacterial genome, which may have an influence on regulation of bacterial genes, e.g. virulence factors. Besides, phages can synthesize anti-CRISPR genes, which could be of use in the future for the purpose of development of an alternative therapy against multi-drug resistant bacterial strains. Here we present an elementary characteristic of CRISPR-Cas system, including the structure and the brief mechanism of action, systematic classification and its importance for medicine and biotechnology issues. We would like to stress the huge potential of CRISPR-Cas by discussing the selected but varied aspects.

Human Mycobiome In Normobiosis And Dysbiosis States Characteristics And Analysis Methods
Authors: Gnat Sebastian , Łagowski Dominik , Dyląg Mariusz , Nowakiewicz Aneta
Published: March 2021

Fungal diseases affect over 300 million people worldwide each year and cause over 1.6 million deaths. Even with such a high prevalence of fungal infections, relatively few fungal species are pathogens, and invasive fungal infections are rarely diagnosed in healthy subjects. Comparative analyses of mycobiomes reveal that the human organism is colonized by specific fungi soon after birth, and the quantitative and qualitative composition of the mycobiota changes throughout life. In recent years, correlations between the mycobiome structure and health status, also in disease conditions, have been analyzed at the level of fungus-mycobiome-host interactions. The relationship between the colonized area of the human body defined as anatomical location, and fungal species specific for this area, indicates a strong selective pressure that promotes the growth of species specific for a given ecological niche within the organism. Another issue is the validation and standardization of mycobiome analysis methods. In this respect, metagenomic sequencing methods are currently arousing considerable interest. The review presents the current knowledge about the mycobiome in physiological and disease states induced by the dysbiosis of the existing microbiome. The methods and diagnostic challenges in the quantitative and qualitative analysis of mycobiomes are discussed as well.

Sandboxes As A Potential Source Of Dangerous Drug-Resistant Escherichia Coli And Staphylococcus Aureus Strains
Authors: Mazur Edyta , Chmiel Maria Jolanta
Published: March 2021

Sandboxes are present on almost every playground. They enjoy constant popularity among the youngest. Are we sometimes wonder who is responsible for their sanitary condition? Play in them can be a threat to children? This article will discuss the subject of monitoring the sanitary condition of sandboxes. The microbiological threat of contact with contaminated sand will also be presented. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are bacteria that can inhabit sandboxes and pose a threat to health. Both of these microorganisms should not be found in the environment. Their presence means contamination of sand, and contact with it can be hazardous to human health. What’s more, these bacteria increasingly show resistance to antibiotics routinely used to treat infections. The problem of microorganism resistance to therapeutics is very important because the number of drug-resistant strains is growing alarmingly. The pool of effective antibiotics is contracting and new ones are not developing. In this work, antibiotics used during the treatment will be presented: aminoglycosides, ansamycins, β-lactam antibiotics, quinolones, fusidans, MLS group, sulfonamides, and tetracyclines. The paper also presents information concerning so far known mechanisms of antibiotic action. The article also presents the resistance mechanisms of Enterobacteriaceae; ESBL mechanism (extended-spectrum β-lactamases), production of MBL (metallo-β-lactamase), CRE (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae) and resistance mechanisms of S. aureus, to penicillin, MRSA – methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and for vancomycin VRSA resistant S. aureus. Drug resistance has become a global problem. The presence of drug-resistant strains carries the risk of spreading antibiotic-resistant strains of microorganisms in natural environments like water, air, soil and sand. Infections caused by such microorganisms are very difficult to treat, because the small pool of antibiotics that can be used during treatment, and thus reduces the effectiveness of therapy.

Interpreting Mullā Ṣadrā on Man and the Origin of Thinking
Authors: Shaker Anthony F.
Published: March 2021

U radu se istražuju ključni aspekti Mullā Ṣadrāova razumijevanja čovjekova bivstvovanja u svijetu, gdje se embrij opažanja i mišljenja pojavljuje u jedinstvenim uvjetima čovjeka kao artikuliranog društvenog bića. Biće koje može govoriti također govori sebi i o sebi. No s obzirom na to da čovjekova »prava stvarnost« nalazi svoj korijen u božanskom znanju i bivstovanju u dvostrukoj egzistencijaciji, u srcu njegova bivstvovanja u svijetu leži intelekt pomoću kojega se on »vraća« iz materijalnosti u njegov izvor u božanskom, gdje sve znanje i bivstovanje počinje i završava. Problem znanja i bivstvovanja – izrazivo u smislu jednog i mnogih – potječe još iz vremena prije predsokratovaca. Da bi se Ṣadrāovo razumijevanje moglo umjestiti, razmatraju se drugi filozofi, uključujući Kanta, čija je logika argumenata okupljenih oko »Ja« naznačena u Heideggerovoj kritici. To niti je prvenstveno epistemologijski problem islamske filozofije niti je lišen šireg zanimanja za društvenu životinju naziva »čovjek« (insān).

casi cien años del inicio oficial del psicodrama (1 de abril de 1921), es posible decir que hay amplios desarrollos sobre el tema a lo largo del planeta. En Europa, Asia, Norteamérica y Latinoamérica hay evidencias de experiencias de investigación e intervención asociadas al psicodrama. Sin embargo, en Colombia estas experiencias son más reducidas y poco conocidas. Este libro busca darle cuerpo a estas experiencias y reunirlas para los lectores. Hay capítulos teóricos sobre la historia, sobre el erotismo, sobre la teoría de la escena; también de sistematización de experiencias de intervención y de formación; y uno de investigación aplicada sobre el psicodrama colectivo. El presente es un texto útil para iniciarse en el estudio del psicodrama y especialmente para conocer sus desarrollos en Colombia, especialmente en la ciudad de Medellín; un libro que se instaura como piedra fundacional del movimiento psicodramático colombiano.
800 años del natalicio de San Buenaventura de Bagnoregio

Bertrand Russell señala, en Misticismo y Lógica, que el misticismo es, en esencia, un poco más que una intensificación y profundidad de sentimiento en relación con lo que se cree acerca del universo, pero los hombres más eminentes que han sido filósofos han sentido la necesidad tanto de la ciencia como del misticismo: que se puedan concertar ambas fuerzas lleva a una angustia metafísica tan honda que hace de la Filosofía algo más grande que la ciencia y la religión. Cuando un espíritu humano puede pensar las ideas universales de la verdad, del bien y de lo bello, y al mismo tiempo no despreciar las cosas más pequeñas, está combinando la mística con el temperamento científico. Y si la Filosofía quiere realizar sus mayores potencias, el filósofo deberá llevar a cabo la incursión mística en una realidad superior y un bien oculto sin el olvido de lo más pequeño y aparentemente innecesario. El fracaso en esto, dice Bertrand Russell en el mismo ensayo, es lo que lleva a la Filosofía a la inconsistencia, a la mortecina filosófica y a la insustancialidad, por no decir también que a la insipidez. Estas exigencias pueden verse realizadas en el trabajo Itinerario de la mente a Dios de Buenaventura de Bagnoregio. Aunque es obvia la inclinación superior de Buenaventura por la mística. Se puede poner en el mismo nivel de creación ese ensayo de Buenaventura con obras canónicas de la mística como los escritos poéticos de san Juan de la Cruz o los de Rabindranath Tagore. En Buenaventura, como en Juan de la Cruz o en Rabindranath Tagore y sus poesías, sucede que se pone una gran interrogación al conocimiento corriente, y esta interrogación es la bisagra a un mundo más amplio. Sucede también que una primera experiencia del misterio puesto ante los ojos se convierte de saber oculto a certeza definida. Sucede que no es la creencia lo que los llevó a la revelación, la revelación es el resultado de haber interrogado. Sucede también que la creencia es obtenida solamente porque han reflexionado la experiencia inefable. En Buenaventura, como en tantos místicos, se da la intuición, pero no cualquiera, sino la intuición inteligible que lleva a ver lo que los ojos de la carne no pueden: un mundo en el envés del mundo de los cuerpos, pero que determina eternamente los cuerpos porque se encuentra también inherente a ellos.
Availability model based on task and risk model based on safety for condition based maintenance

Published: March 2021

The most important thing for condition based maintenance (CBM) is the maintenance decision-making, while the existing research mainly considers system maintenance decision-making from the economic point of view, but the actual situation is that the availability and safety of the system are more important in most cases. In this paper, the maintenance decision-making model of the system is established by giving priority to the availability and safety of the system, which is more in line with the engineering practice and lays a foundation for the application of condition based maintenance.
Gearbox fault diagnosis method based on the fusion of EEMD and improved Elman-NN
Authors: Zhang Xiaobo
Published: March 2021

In connection with the complex operating conditions of gearbox, multiple vibration excitation sources, and difficulty in extracting vibration signal fault features, a novel method of gearbox fault diagnosis is proposed. based on the fusion of EEMD and improved Elman neural network (Elman-NN) is developed. The wavelet packet is utilized to denoise the collected vibration signals of four different types of gearboxes: broken teeth, cracks, wear, and normal, and then use the EEMD method to decompose the denoised vibration signals, and use the correlation coefficient criterion means to carry out the IMF pseudo component elimination, and then get a more effective signal. Calculate the energy feature of the effective signal and use it as the enter feature of the Elman-NN. Based on standard Elman-NN, a self-feedback factor β is added to construct a reformed Elman-NN. Experimental results indicate that compared with the standardized Elman-NN, the improved Elman-NN has higher diagnostic accuracy and diagnostic efficiency.
A sensitivity analysis of SCM dynamic parameters on improving the engine vibration and power
Authors: Hua Wenlin
Published: March 2021

To improve the vibration and power of the engine, a sensitivity analysis of the operating parameters as well as the eccentricity between crankshaft centre and cylinder centre of the slider-crank-mechanism (SCM) are proposed and researched based on the SCM’s dynamics model and the experimental data of the cylinder pressure in the internal combustion engine. An algorithm program developed in MATLAB environment is then applied to compute the dynamic equations of the SCM. The numerical simulation results show that the eccentricity e, connecting rod length l, and crankshaft radius r are substantially affected the vibration and power of the engine. Particularly, with e= –0.01, the connecting rod length of {1.0-1.2}× l, and crankshaft radius of {1.0-1.2}× r could improve the vibration and increase the engine power.
Application of fault tree analysis in LNG fire risk assessment of LNG fueled ships
Authors: Wu Wenxiang
Published: March 2021

Assess the risk of LNG fire of LNG fueled ships navigating in the middle reaches of Yangtze River of China according to the acceptable risk criteria so that support technically to design, building and shipping safety management of LNG fueled ships and also to marine safety administration. “Fault tree analysis” was used to analyze the contribution of factors for LNG fire of LNG fueled ships. Statistical analysis base on the Normal distribution was carried out to reveal the confidence intervals of the probability of ships collision, touch and general fire. Quantitative assessment showed that LNG fuel is not suitable for passenger ships and chemical cargo carriers. It was found that ship length is the key to people onboard evacuating in case of LNG fire, so that LNG valid volume above 20M3 was unsuitable for a ship with length less than 80 m as well as that more than 10M3 was very dangerous for crew onboard a ship with length less than 45 m. Factors of bridges over river, berths along banks and anchorages in river, which would aggravate the consequences of LNG fire, were taken into consideration during risk assessment. In view of navigation condition in the middle reaches of Yangtze River, measures were suggested for LNG fire risk control of LNG fueled ships.
Analysis of influence of bridge deck damage on first order natural frequency of simply supported T-beam bridge
Authors: Li Shuichang
Published: March 2021

As a simply-supported T beam of the girder grid system, the damage of the bridge deck will inevitably change the overall stiffness of the bridge, and then affect the natural dynamic characteristics of the bridge. The variation of the first-order natural frequency of the bridge before and after the damage of the T beam flange was analyzed by using the finite element analysis method, and the influence law of the T beam flange damage on the natural frequency of the simply supported T beam bridge was obtained. The analysis results showed that the damage of T beam flange will bring about a significant change in the first-order natural frequency. Taking the natural frequency test of multi-span simply supported beams in practical engineering as an example, the first order natural frequency of the undamaged span and the damaged span of the bridge deck were tested respectively, and the influence of the damage on the first order natural frequency was analyzed. Results showed that the first order natural frequency decreases by 15.63 % under the condition that the single T beam is completely damaged in the mid-span position. Therefore, the damage of T bridge can be preliminarily judged by the change of the natural frequency of simply supported beam bridge in practical engineering.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the geotechnical performance of a clay soil of high plasticity added with recycled brick powder (RBP) and recycled gypsum powder (RGP), both obtained in “waste” condition. In order to classify the soil, in its natural state, as a clay of high plasticity, the tests of moisture content, granulometry and consistency limits were performed. Subsequently, soil samples were prepared with the two additives proposed in percentages of 2.5 %, 5 % and 7.5 % of RGP and 5 %, 10 % and 15 % of RBP. This is in order to evaluate its influence on the dry density and unconfined compressive strength of the soil. Laboratory test results have demonstrated that the inclusion of RGP and RBP produce an increase of up to 7.5 % in soil density and 13.5 % in the optimum soil moisture content compared to the values obtained from natural soil without additions. Furthermore, unconfined compressive strength increased from an average value of 6.3 kg/cm2 to 28.8 kg/cm2. These results reflect that the higher the RBP and RGP addition content in the soil, the higher the soil's resistance to compression forces.

Mobile phones can be used as potential useful tool in structural modal identification. Using the acceleration data collected by mobile phone sensors under ambient excitation, a method for structural modal identification based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) is proposed. Firstly, the feasibility and applicability of mobile phone sensors for vibration data measuring is verified by a shaking table test of a steel frame structure. Then, the mobile phone is used as an accelerometer to record the vibration acceleration of a pedestrian overpass under ambient excitation. In this test, vibration acceleration is effectively decomposed by VMD, and the major components of the vibration signal is obtained through the division and screening of frequency domain. Finally, the modal parameters of the pedestrian overpass are identified, and the results show the identification method based on VMD is effective and feasible.

Published: March 2021

A kind of multifunctional nanocomposite coating based on setae-spatulae structure of gecko is innovatively proposed, which was prepared by blending method. Potential polarization curve, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and salt spray test were analyzed respectively to analyze the corrosion inhibition effects. Results indicated that the impedance at low frequency region of epoxy resin (EP)/ZnO/Fe2O3 (γ-type) nanocomposite coating was the highest, which is 5.17 times of that of epoxy resin. Nanocomposite coating with multi-scale and multi-component nanoparticles has better pulverization resistance than blank epoxy resin and one-component coatings. The degree of protection of EP/ZnO/Fe2O3(γ-type) was highest.

This study aims to assess the psychological and social determinants that influence interest towards RPV through an empirical investigation of a new survey-based dataset collected in Jakarta Metro, Indonesia. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) framework was tested using survey data from 174 non-adopters, providing recommendations of potential intervention for policy makers and RPV installers in alleviating key barriers of RPV adoption. Overall, each of TPB components; attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control have significant direct and indirect impact towards interest. Individuals perceiving RPV personally and environmentally beneficial are more interested in RPV. Perception of RPV adoption will be supported by peers also increases interest. In contrast, belief of unsuitable house decreases interest. Notably, individuals seeing RPV as a complex technology are more interested to gain information about RPV.

Environmental concern is one of the linchpins of business anxieties since post-industrial era in India. In the current scenario where the corporates in India are committing to green supply chain practices, this paper attempts to understand the key environmental drivers that impact green supply chain practices. Thus, the focus of this research paper is to recognize the direct and indirect effects of environmental drivers on the green supply chain practices. Quantitative data regarding corporate environmental drivers and green supply chain practices were collected from 12 manufacturing companies in India. Path analysis was performed through structural equation modeling technique to identify the significant environmental drivers. Further, the direct and indirect effects of the environmental drivers were determined by decomposing the structural equations. The results obtained demonstrated that regulatory pressure, customer pressure, socio-cultural pressure and competitor pressure affect green supply chain practices at varying levels of significance at different stages of the supply chain process. The result of this study invites necessary attention of the managers to undertake an analysis of the effect of potential environmental drivers on the functioning of green supply chain practices in their firms.
