Criminal Procedure Acts of the Preliminary Investigation Bodies in the General Mechanism of Public Administration
Authors: Milikova A. V.
Published: November 2019

The paper is devoted to a comprehensive doctrinal analysis of criminal procedural acts of the preliminary investigation bodies in the general system of legal acts of administration as the most effective legal instruments of public administration. Considering the criminal proceedings in general and the preliminary investigation in particular as a special kind of public administration, and a specific form for the implementation of executive and administrative functions of the state, the authors conclude that the criminal procedure acts of the preliminary investigation bodies are a structural element of a unified system of legal acts of control, forming in it independent subsystem. In this regard, the paper substantiates the position that the legal nature of the criminal procedure acts of the preliminary investigation bodies is in many respects consistent with the general principles and postulates inherent in the legal acts of general government. Their theoretical basis and the corresponding legislative base are subject to consideration, comprehension and development in the context of general methodological laws identified and analyzed in the theory of law and the state and administrative and legal science, but taking into account the specifics due to the separate sphere of criminal procedure regulation, the special purpose of the criminal legal proceedings and the special character of the criminal procedure form and criminal procedure guarantees arising from it.

Authors: Rahman Diniy Hidayatur
Published: November 2019

Abstract: Previous studies have shown that irrational beliefs contribute significantly to the procrastination, including the thesis-writing procrastination. Unfortunately, there are no scales that specifically can measure the beliefs in the thesis writing context. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate a scale called the Skala Keyakinan Irasional dalam Penyusunan Skripsi (SKI-S). The scale was developed based on irrational belief construct proposed by Albert Ellis in the context of thesis writing. To achieve the aim, the study applied a research and development design involving four steps: (1) defining the construct; (2) developing the measurement model; (3) carrying out confirmatory factor analysis; and (4) checking the validity of the measurement model. 200 undergraduate students taking their 9th to 14th semester were involved in the study. 86 items were successfully validated which were classified into demandingness subscale (16 items); catastrophizing subscale (20 items); self-depreciation subscale (17 items); and low frustration tolerance subscales (20 items).Abstrak: Beberapa hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa keyakinan irasional berkontribusi pada terjadinya prokrastinasi, termasuk prokrastinasi dalam penulisan skripsi.

Authors: B. Beena , K. Libu G. , S. Akhila M. , Chandran Jyothi
Published: November 2019

Background: Antenatal glucocorticoid therapy (ACT) can be life-saving in preterm babies and risk of PTL is increasing in. The prevalence of GDM also increasing. Virtually, all women will experience deterioration in their glycaemic control following ACT. The NICE guideline recommends additional insulin and the national Indian guidelines recommend a 20% increase. Objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in maternal serum glucose following corticosteroids in antenatal women.Methods: Prospective controlled trial of 206 patients, divided into 2 groups. Group 1:105 patients with no GDM and Group 2: 101 patients with GDM. Ethical committee approved. FBS and PPBS measured for following 5 days of D1. BMI and starting dose of insulin and dose of insulin hike were recorded. FBS >90 mg/dL and PPBS >120 mg/dL were taken as abnormal. Data were analyzed using SPSSV22.Results: There were a total of 206 of which 105 were in group 1(51%) and 101(49%) were in Group 2. FBS >90 mg/dL in over 65% of all women on D2 10 new cases on D3 and PPBS >120 mg/dL in over 66% of all women on D2 and 13 new cases on D3. Insulin was started in a total of 66 patients of 105 (62.9%) in Group 1 and 33 out of 40 (82.5%) in GDM on MNT. Of the 66 patients who started on insulin in Group 1, 17 (16.2%) patients had to continue insulin and out of 33. In MNT subgroup 10 (25%) had to continue. BMI was high in the patients, who was given and continued insulin.Conclusions: The findings support the concept of increasing the dose of insulin even before the hyperglycemia documented. In the Group 1 66 of 105 patients were started on insulin due to hyperglycemia and 17 had to continue insulin 25.7%), and 33 of 40 patients in GDM on MNT were started on insulin and 10 (30.33%) had to continue. We suggest testing all patients for hyperglycemia and to start  insulin especially in the those with high BMI (>25 as per the Asian Indian).

Published: November 2019

Background: Neonatal bacterial infection is one of the leading causes of new-born morbidity and mortality. Bacterial ecology is not known in our unit, no study has been devoted to this subject. This work aimed to determine the germs responsible for neonatal bacterial infections and their level of sensitivity to the usual antibiotics.Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study conducted in the Neonatology Department from January 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019 (16 months) including all newborns under 29 days hospitalized during the study period and possessing positive bacteriological results regardless of the site of collection (blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid).Results: The diagnosis of neonatal infection was confirmed in 47 cases, i.e. 26.1% of suspicions of neonatal bacterial infection hospitalized during the study period. The female predominance was found with a sex ratio of 0.81. The most frequently isolated germs are, in order of frequency, coagulase-negative staphylococci (10 cases), Escherichia coli (7 cases), Enterobacter cloacae (5 cases), Klebsiella pneumoniae (5 cases) and Enterobacter aerogenes (5 cases). Of the 47 cases studied, 16 cases were multidrug-resistant infections including 7 cases i.e. 14.9% of nosocomial infections. The majority of Enterobacteria are strains producing broad spectrum beta lactamases (12 cases to 22). The molecules that remained effective were mainly Imipenem and Amikacin.Conclusions: Neonatal infection remains a real public health problem. The emergence of multi-resistant bacteria complicates the management. The knowledge of bacterial ecology on a wider population is an important asset in its prevention and management.

Authors: Angadi Veerendra , Nandennavar Manjunath , Karpurmath Shashidhar V. , Jacob Roshan , Donekal Yamini
Published: November 2019

Background: Anaemia is a very common complication in cancer patients. Up to 60% of solid tumor patients and 70-90% of patients receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy have anaemia. Pathophysiology of anaemia in cancer patients is multifactorial. The treatments for cancer related anaemia include Erythropoietin Stimulating Agents (ESAs), iron supplementing therapies (intravenous iron, oral iron) and blood transfusion. There are various safety concerns regarding usage of ESAs; also, their usage is less in India due to cost factor. There is scant literature regarding blood transfusion practices in patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods: Patients diagnosed with cancer and patients receiving chemotherapy were included in the study. Retrospective case record review of cancer patients who received chemotherapy between January to March 2019 was done. Type of malignancy, presence of symptoms related to anemia and trigger for packed red cell transfusion were recorded.Results: Among 342 patients received total of 1365 cycles of chemotherapy in this time period. Mean age of patients was 46 years. 46 of the 342 patients received blood transfusion. Only 13% of the patients had symptoms of anemia like weakness and fatigue the average hemoglobin level at which transfusion was given was 6 gm/dL.Conclusions: Packed Red blood cell transfusion was usually administered at Hb <7 gm/dL. Very few patients reported anaemia related symptoms prior to transfusion. No patient received erythropoietin. Further data is needed from other tertiary cancer centres to understand the blood transfusion practices in Indian cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
siRNA Delivery Technology for Cancer Therapy: Promise and Challenges
Authors: Karimi Dermani Fateme , Azizi Jalilian Farid , Hossienkhani Hossein , Ezati Razieh , Amini Razieh
Published: November 2019

Abstract- Small interfering RNAs (siRNA) technology has shown great promise as a new class of therapeutic interventions for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. It is a remarkable endogenous pathway that can regulate sequence-specific gene silencing. Despite the excitement about possible applications of this biological process for sequence-specific gene regulation, the major limitations against the use of siRNA-based therapeutics are their rapid degradation by serum nuclease, poor cellular uptake, and rapid renal clearance following systemic delivery, off-target effects and the induction of immune responses. Many researchers have tried to overcome these limitations by developing nuclease-resistant chemically-modified siRNAs and a variety of synthetic and natural biodegradable lipids and polymers to enhance the efficacy and safety profiles of siRNA delivery. Ideal siRNA-based delivery systems for cancer therapy must be clinically suitable, safe and effective. In this review, we introduce the greatest challenges in achieving efficient RNAi delivery and discuss design criteria and various delivery strategies for cancer therapy, including chemical modifications, lipid-based nano-vectors, polymer-mediated delivery systems, conjugate delivery systems, and others.
Angiotensin 1-7 Administration Increases Renal Blood Flow in the Absence of Bradykinin B2 Receptor in Ovariectomized Estradiol Treated Rats: The Role of Mas Receptor
Authors: Saberi Shadan , Dehghani Aghdas , Nematbakhsh Mehdi
Published: November 2019

Abstract- Renin angiotensin (RAS), kallikrein kinin (KKS), and sex hormonal systems demonstrate a complex contribution in kidney circulation. This study was designed to investigate the role of angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) receptor (MasR) and of bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R) in renal blood flow (RBF) response to Ang 1-7 infusion in ovariectomized estradiol treated rats. The ovariectomized rats received intramuscular vehicle (group 1, OV) or estradiol valerate (500 µg/Kg/week) (group 2, OVE) for two weeks. Then each group was divided into two subgroups subjected to receive B2R antagonist (HOE-140, subgroup A), or MasR antagonist (A779) plus HOE-140 (subgroup B). RBF and renal vascular resistance (RVR) responses to graded Ang 1-7 infusion were determined. In condition of B2R alone blocking, RBF response to Ang 1-7 in OVE group was significantly greater than that of OV group (P=0.05), however this response difference was failed by co-blockades of MasR and B2R. Estradiol could promote RBF response to graded Ang 1-7 infusion in the absence of B2R alone, however when both receptors (MasR and B2R) were blocked the role of estradiol was limited.
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in Cardia and Small Stomach Curvature: A Case Report
Authors: Moghaddam Ahmadi Moein , Ghanbarkhah Mohammad Javad , Mohammadi Hossein , Gholizadeh Marzieh
Published: November 2019

Abstract- Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) are the most common gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors and in 80% of the cases are associated with KIT activating mutations. The incidence of GISTs is generally 10-20 cases per million population, which turn out to be malignant in 20-30% of cases. GISTs can be large and present with dysphagia, even though they are usually small and asymptomatic. A 67-year-old woman was referred to the hospital complaining of pain and burning in epigastric area and left flank; the patient had experienced a weight loss within one month before the admission. Primary investigations upon upper endoscopy revealed a submucosal mass in distal part of esophagus, and nodularity and erythema in stomach. But through more examinations by MDCT of Abdomen and Pelvis, a mass measuring 20*33 mm in cardiac and lesser curvature submucosa, without lymphadenopathy was reported, that could suggest GIST. This mass was excised with normal margins via wide local excision, bilayer cardiplasty and funduplication. The patient was hospitalized for 10 days after surgery, and was discharged with good general condition. In follow-up, there wasn’t any sign of dysphagia and dyspepsia within 24 months. In the patients suffering from GIST, the tumor location appears to have the most important role on deciding whether to perform local excision or not. Treatment of GISTs locating near gastroesophageal junction (GE junction) is still challenging. Using an appropriate therapeutic method is crucial in improving the patient’s quality of life. Therefore, wide local excision followed by bilayer cardiplasty and funduplication, could be considered as the appropriate therapeutic protocol in such same situations due to elimination of post total gastrectomy adverse effects and the tumor relapse.

EFFECTS OF SOIL VISCOSITY, SOIL TEMPERATURE, AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY ON PLANTS GROWTH SOWN IN SOIL PREPARED FROM LABORATORY CHEMICAL WASTE
Authors: Rai Preeti , Chatrath Harsha
Published: November 2019

Purpose of the study: The primary purpose of this study is to find out the effect of change in soil viscosity, soil temperature, and specific gravity on growth of plants sown in the soil prepared from laboratory chemical waste collected from an educational institute and with the plants sown in average soil.

Methodology: Three-three pots with different soil combinations mixed with solid and liquid chemical waste have been used for growing A. barbadensis Mill, Saussurea obvallata, and Lilium plants. Observations were made every fifteen days for three months by checking plant height, the number of leaves, the color of leaves, and soil temperature for understanding and comparing plant growth with respect to variation in temperature. Later on, density and viscosity of soils have also been checked with specific gravity bottle and viscometer help. 

Main Findings: Plants' growth differs with variation in soil viscosity, soil temperature, and soil density. All plants cannot grow potentially at the same temperature, viscosity, and density. A. barbadensis Mill A4 has shown better growth with the least viscosity and highest particle density of soil. Saussurea obvallata BK1 has shown better growth with the least viscosity and least particle density of soil. Lilium L1 has shown better growth with all the moderate values of soil.

Applications of this study: This study helped to understand that all the plants have their requirements of nutrients, nutrition, and physical factors for their growth. The study also helped to understand that although the soil has taken initially is the same, viscosity and density of the soil changes due to the plants grown in it.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The use of chemical wastes is taken into consideration instead of fertilizers to reduce pollution.
Las tecnologías de la felicidad privada. Una problemática tan vieja como la modernidad
Authors: Pagano Diana
Published: November 2019

Ninguna tecnología es neutral y lo que parece avecinarse son formas distintas derepresentar el mundo y de constituir subjetividad.Si bien, el ciberespacio ha penetrado transversalmente las clases sociales y las franjas etarias, resulta natural que sean los jóvenes aquellos que se encuentran más cómodos y quizás por ello menoscríticos respecto a las posibilidades que las nuevas tecnologías promueven pero también cercenan.¿Nos enfrentamos a una revolución que instaura un nuevo tiempo atravesado de virtualidad oestamos frente a una profundización, una nueva fase de un proceso que lleva ya unos siglos?Asistimos, antes que a un quiebre con la modernidad, a la profundización del paradigma individual-capitalista.Esta posmodernidad, porta hasta el paroxismo la idea de una felicidad alejada de lo público ydel bien común. Las relaciones interpersonales y la participación como parte de un colectivosocial no están valorizadas, olvidando el rol primordial que cumplen en la formación de lasubjetividad. La felicidad privada es una felicidad que atravesada por las nuevas tecnologíasparece suponer un compartir con los otros y sin embargo supone un consumo estrictamenteindividual. Y aquí reside la novedad pues todo esto se da en el marco de la emergencia de unnuevo fenómeno que se materializa en la ruptura los lazos sociales que antes contenían a losindividuos en relaciones interpersonales directas.
Notas para un diseño negativo. Arte y política en el proceso de conformación del campo del Diseño Gráfico
Authors: Mercado G. Octavio
Published: November 2019

El diseño ocupa un lugar relevante dentro de la producción cultural contemporánea; el entorno social en su conjunto está articulado a partir de objetos artificiales: productos de diseño. La profusión del producto de diseño, obliga a reflexionar acerca de la capacidad del diseñador como individuo, para incidir dentro de su entorno, a partir de la generación de productos estéticos que, en su vínculo con la función, alcanzan laposibilidad del cambio social a través del cambio en los individuos. De alguna manera, gracias a su propia estructura, el diseño se convierte en una disciplina donde tiene lugar la materialización de las aspiraciones de la vanguardia artística: la fusión de arte y vida. Si el diseño es capaz de asumir las posibilidades que tiene para la construcción de usuarios críticos, potencia su capacidad y permite que el diseñador sea un agente del cambio social a partir de un diseño negativo y no únicamente reafirme el orden existente mediante un diseño positivo.

Antigüedad
Authors: Peresan Martínez Andrea
Published: November 2019

El tratamiento del interior en los edificios de culto durante el período conocido genéricamente como Antigüedad sufrió transformaciones cuyo origen estriba tanto en la participación de la sociedad en los ritos sagrados como en distintas tradiciones culturales acerca del espacio que se fueron sucediendo en las etapas formativas de la era. El Partenón – Atenas, s. V a.C – fue construido como casa y para honra de Atenea, no concebido para ser circulado sino como suprema ofrenda; la concepción estética y racional del espacio imponía magnificencia exterior y perfección proporcional. El Panteón – Roma, s. II d.C. – constituye un símbolo del proyecto constructivo romano, que se apropió del vocabulario formal griego pero lo combinócon su propia tradición constructiva basada en la expansión del espacio interior, y convirtió los elementos arquitectónicos en elementos para su diseño. La primera Basílica de San Pedro – Roma, 324 d.C. – es un ejemplo de edificación monumental pensada para que se reúna la nueva comunidad cristiana, cuya distribución de espacio unidireccional se subordina a la presencia del altar.
Siglo XX
Authors: Pombo Mercedes
Published: November 2019

El siglo XX se caracteriza por una amplia profusión de movimientos e ideas, por ello, resulta difícil determinar paradigmas y ejemplos que unifiquen conceptualmente el espacio interior del período. Por otra parte, el vínculo de este siglo con el arte sacro sufre importantes cambios. Se ordena a partir de tres momentos claves basados en la historia de las mentalidades y estéticas reinantes. En los primeros años impera el espíritu modernista; en segundo término irrumpe el carácter racionalista como base de todas las operaciones y formas de pensar; y, por último, el diseño posmoderno como indicio de una nueva ideología preponderante en las últimas décadas del siglo XX y los albores del XXI. De estos tres momentos se destaca el movimiento moderno racionalista con el emblemático Le Corbusier cuyo pensamiento oficia de bisagra en las producciones del diseño de los últimos tiempos.
Lenguaje, comunicación y Diseño

Published: November 2019

El artículo propone un recorrido histórico sobre la relación problemática entre diseño, comunicación y lenguaje. Se parte de la consideración sobre los lenguajes que hacen lasvanguardias artístico-políticas de principios del siglo XX para acceder a una primera tensión –moderna- entre lenguaje y comunicación. Por su parte, el análisis de lo desarrollado en Bauhauspermite comprender la relación entre comunicación y diseño. Luego de esta primera parte, eltexto avanza hacia los problemas comunicacionales que se presentan en la inmediata posguerra yel modo en que el diseño comienza a asimilar concepciones provenientes de la teoría cibernéticade la comunicación. En este punto, el artículo repasa los avances que en términos comunicacionales se han operado en las últimas décadas y que, en no pocas ocasiones, colisionan con eluniverso proyectual donde se ubica el diseño.
“Ortega, profeta del destino latinoamericano: la identidad como ‘autenticidad’ ”
Authors: Aras Roberto
Published: November 2019

Desde su primer viaje a América, el filósofo español José Ortega y Gasset ejerció una "jefatura espiritual" sobre el pensamiento incipiente de los nuevos pueblos transatlánticos. En especial, la relación con la Argentina y los argentinos le permitió actuar como un agente catalizador en la interrogación respecto del propio ser y su misión en el mundo. Los ensayos de psicología del argentino y su demanda de "autenticidad" a la hora de imaginar un futuro nacional y regional lo sitúan como un intelectual precursor en el problema de la identidad latinoamericana, cuya influencia sobre las mentes de filósofos, sociólogos, historiadores y literatos de estas tierras se deja observar hasta nuestros días.

Aunque Argentina posee una conformación identitaria diversa y plural, las fotografías de las tapas de revistas de moda no parecen representar tal heterogeneidad. El modelo reductivo de belleza femenina, patrimonio de las publicaciones de moda internacionales basado en mujeres occidentales de tez blanca, toma un significado particular en el contexto de Argentino, reconocida por su carácter europeizante y suanhelo de legitimación en la imitación de lo extranjero. Cabe preguntarse si el parentesco del discurso visual editorial entre la Argentina y el extranjero, responde sólo a un estatuto propio del género, o si es también un síntoma de las particulares dificultades locales, a la hora de reconocerse como país diverso, pluricultural y mestizo; si en esta sofisticada articulación entre moda y prensa, de enclave porteño, las representaciones homogéneas de lo femenino invalidan el acceso de tendencias periféricas a la prensa femenina.
La intención de Diseño. El caso del Artilugio Chilote
Authors: De la Sotta Lazzerini Paola , Muñoz Peralta Osvaldo
Published: November 2019

El presente trabajo corresponde a una investigación realizada en la isla grande de Chiloé, ubicada al sur de Chile. Propone una reflexión sobre la intención de diseño presente en la fabricación del artilugio chilote, mediante la noción de proyecto y proceso. Para ello se divide en dos partes: el catastro y levantamiento de artilugios por medio de quien los realiza y una experiencia de diseño que nos permite transformarnos en portadores de una tradición oral. Bajo la mirada critica, los conceptos académicos de forma y función y su correspondiente dialogo con el material, nos permiten comprender cabalmente su uso, su función y por ende, su construcción y apariencia.

El presente artículo reproduce una nota periodística que el autor realizó para el Diario Página 12, en el año 20081. Esta es una rica investigación de campo que García Recoaro desarrolló sumergiéndose en el Altiplano boliviano y que, generosamente ha ofrecido al mundo académico en el presente número de Cuadernos. El escrito evidencia como a través del fenómeno de la moda los pueblos originarios intentan mantener su identidad a pesar de las imposiciones europeas impuestas por la colonia española.
DEVELOPMENT OF "KERR EFFECT" DEVICES TO MEASURE URINE GLUCOSE LEVELS OF DIABETES MELITUS (DM) PATIENTS
Authors: Nayiroh Nurun , K Kusairi
Published: November 2019

The development of the "Kerr Effect" device has been carried out to measure urine glucose levels of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients by applying an external electric field of two parallel plate capacitors. The purpose of this research was to design and construct a new "Kerr Effect" device to measure urine glucose levels of DM patients, to determine the effects of external electric fields and glucose concentrations on light polarization. The measurement of the polarization changes was done by emitting polarized light through a glucose standard solution sample and urine samples of DM patients. In this measurement, the sample was irradiated with an external electric field (0 kV / m - 80 kV / m) of parallel plate capacitors, and the changes of light polarization in the sample were observed. The obtained data of the measurement have been collected and plotted as a graph. The results showed that as the electric field increased the changes in polarization have a tendency to increase. In addition, the amount of glucose concentration in the urine also affected the magnitude of the change in the rotational polarization angle of the light. Therefore, the changes in the rotational polarization angle increase linearly due to the influence of the external electric field and the concentration of glucose in the urine.
Interpretação musical: sentido, escuta e técnica
Authors: Abrahão Paraguassú Tavares Pereira
Published: November 2019

O texto analisa a hegemonia da ciência e da técnica no mundo contemporâneo e o seu respectivo desdobramento no universo da arte. Navegando pela fenomenologia ontológica do ser heideggeriana, procura-se, a partir desta inspiração, usar os conceitos teóricos da música em seu sentido originário de afeto. A busca se dá, deste modo, por desvelar o que a instrumentação da ciência teórica encobre com os seus conceitos técnicos. A intenção não é apresentar um artigo técnico com pretensões de pesquisa acadêmica filosófica. Trata-se, no entanto, de permitir e possibilitar um exercício de pensamento por meio do diálogo com a questão da técnica na arte desde uma compreensão hermenêutico-poética. Propõe-se, nesse sentido, uma interpretação musical pela escuta do “afeto” que orienta e “toca” o ser, deixando que a presença do poético revele os ecos do ponto de conexão entre o intérprete e a obra, transformando-os em uma unidade na qual o sentido dos mistérios, que surgem do silêncio, repercuta deixando ressoar a arte na escuta.
Bel canto na escrita de um compositor de transição: considerações sobre a vocalidade de Fosca e Maria Tudor
Authors: Kerr Isaac William , Nogueira Lenita Waldige Mendes , Virmond Marcos Da Cunha Lopes
Published: November 2019

Carlos Gomes é assunto obrigatório em uma pesquisa musicológica que se propõe a estudar o período de transição da ópera italiana (1870-1890). Ao lado de uma escrita evoluída, encontra-se uma técnica conservadora, fortemente ligada às convenções da primeira metade do século XIX, compondo o universo criativo do operista brasileiro na organização do discurso dramático do espetáculo ou na caracterização rápida de seus personagens. Propõe-se para esse estudo discutir o termo bel canto a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica de autores e tratados que pavimentaram a visão moderna que temos sobre o assunto e, em seguida, identificar e analisar a presença de gestos do bel canto na vocalidade gomesiana. Com o propósito de demonstrar que procedimentos pertencentes à velha escola (primo ottocento) são constantemente retomados por Gomes, selecionamos as óperas Fosca e Maria Tudor para aplicação dos resultados – obras consideradas de vocalidade ousada dentro da produção do operista.
Optimized Mounting Positions for Vibratory
Machines in Buildings Based on Structure-Borne
Sound Power Transmission and Machine Stability
Authors: Wang Zhen , Mak Cheuk Ming , Ou Day
Published: November 2019

Optimized mounting positions for isolated vibratory machines in buildings require a minimum transmission of
structure-borne sound power from the machine to the floor structure and relative stability of the isolated machine.
Previous work by Mak and co-investigators has indicated the importance of using structure-borne sound power
to assess vibration isolation and to select the best mounting positions by considering the structure-borne sound
power transmission. This paper is a first attempt to utilize both the structure-borne sound power transmission and
the rotational velocity (or the stability) of the machine to select the optimized mounting positions for an isolated
vibratory machine. The results reveal that a vibratory machine should be symmetrically installed on diagonal lines
of the receiving floor structure.
Energy Distribution Analysis Regarding the Crack Size in a Rotating Shaft
Authors: Cristina Castejon Cristina , Gomez Marıa Jesus , Garcia-Prada Juan Carlos , Corral Eduardo
Published: November 2019

Maintenance is critical to avoid catastrophic failures in rotating machinery, and the detection of cracks plays a
critical role because they can originate failures with costly processes of reparation, especially in shafts. Vibration
signals are widely used in machine monitoring and fault diagnostics. The most critical issue in machine monitoring
is the suitable selection of the vibration parameters that represent the condition of the machine. Discrete Wavelet
Transform, and one of its recursive forms, called Wavelet Packet Transform, provide a high potential for pattern
extraction. Several factors must be selected and taken into account in the Wavelet Transform application such as
the level of decomposition, the suitable mother wavelet, and the level basis or features. In this work, the dynamic
response of a shaft with different levels of crack is studied. The evolution of energy of the vibration signals
obtained from the rotating shaft and the frequencies where maximum increments of energy appear with the crack
are analyzed. The results allow the conclusion that changes in energies computed by means of the Wavelet Packet
Transform can be successfully used for crack detection.
Thermo-Mechanical Vibration Analysis of Imperfect Inhomogeneous Beams Based on a Four-Variable Refined Shear Deformation Beam Theory Considering Neutral Surface Position
Authors: Ebrahimi Farzad , Jafari Ali
Published: November 2019

In this disquisition, an exact solution method is developed for analyzing the vibration characteristics of porous functionally graded (FG) beams by considering neutral surface position and different thermal loadings via a four-variable shear deformation refined beam theory. Four types of environmental conditions through the z-axis direction are supposed as: uniform (UTR), linear (LTR), nonlinear (NLTR) and sinusoidal (STR) temperature rises. Mechanical properties of porous FG beams are supposed to vary through the thickness direction and are modeled via the modified power-law. The modified power-law is formulated using the concept of even and uneven porosity distributions. Since the variation of pores along the thickness direction influences the mechanical properties, porosity plays a key role in the mechanical response of FG structures. The governing differential equations and related boundary conditions of porous FG beams are subjected to temperature field that is derived by Hamilton's principle based on a four-variable refined theory which verifies shear deformation regardless of any shear correction factor. The Navier-type solution procedure is used to achieve the natural frequencies of porous-FG beams supposed to various thermal loadings which satisfies the simply-simply boundary condition. A parametric study is led to carry out the effects of material graduation exponent, porosity volume fraction, different porosity distribution, and thermal effect on dimensionless frequencies of porous FG beams. It is concluded that these parameters play noticeable roles in the vibration behavior of imperfect FG beams. Presented numerical results can be applied as benchmarks for future designs of imperfect FG structures with porosity phases.
