Soil Analysis of Roads near Environment Soil for Lead Pollution Assessment, Study Case: Tehran- Karaj Highway
Authors: Istanbuly Mustafa Nur , Amiri Bahman Jabbarian , Hamidian Amir Hossein
Published: December 2018

There are different pollution sources, which affect soil including transportation, especially in highways. These effects can be assessed by Environmental Impact Assessment. In this study, seven sampling stations were selected in different distances (0, 10, 20, 50, 100 meter) along Tehran- Karaj highway. Samples were collected and their concentrations of Pb were measured using a FAAS after dry acid digestion. It was observed that the highway had a negative impact on the peripheral soil. These impacts were higher in Tehran with average lead concentrations, and declined by moving toward Karaj. Moreover, the average concentration of lead in soil significantly decreased by increasing distance from the roadside.

Highest lead concentration was in station (E) in the middle of the road with an average of 160.50 mg/kg. The highest average concentrations were observed in soils of the roadside with an average of 115.25 mg/kg. The highest concentration was also observed in station (B) and in the roadside, with a concentration of 302 mg/kg, which was above the international allowable limits. Tehran- Karaj highway is in the list of the most polluted roads in the world and it must be concerned for its lead pollution, especially in the roadside. Essential steps for controlling the negative impacts must be taken including the expansion of green-space along the highway.
A Theoretical Study of Some Unsaturated Properties for Different Soils
Authors: Alzaidy Mohammed Nawaf Jirjees
Published: December 2018

Soil–water characteristic curves (SWCC) can be defined as the relationship between the water content and suction of an unsaturated soil. It considered a basic relation to explanation of the engineering behaviour of unsaturated soil such as hydraulic conductivity and shear strength, So the study of SWCC is useful to reduce the time and cost of unsaturated soil testing for different engineering purposes. An approach model has been used to predict the SWCC for different soils. The influence of the soils on SWCC shape, the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and shear strength parameters have been studied in this paper using mathematical models. The results of SWCC show that suction of clay soil is bigger than sandy soil, while the clayey silt soils exhibit an intermediate behaviour at same water content. The values of unsaturated shear strength are increasing while the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity is decreasing with increasing soil suction. This behaviour of the last two parameters with soil suction should be taken in consideration for engineering purposes.

Published: December 2018

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play an important role in many real-world applications like surveillance. Wireless networks are also used to have data transfer. In such cases, there are problems with  resourcece-constraintnednetworks. The problems include a delay in communication and reduction in Quality of Service (QoS). Topology control can solve this problem to some extent. However, the delay performance and QoS need to be improved further to support intended operations in wireless networks. When relay node concept is considered, it is possible to optimize performance in such networks. In this paper, we proposed a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based relay configuration for optimizing delay performance in WSN. Relay nodes compute optimal positions using the proposed algorithm so as to improve QoS and reduce delay as much as possible. We implemented the algorithm using NS2 simulations. The results revealed that the proposed approach is able to improve QoS, reduce delay besides improving network performance in terms of throughput, network capacity, and energy efficiency.

Published: December 2018

Camarões de lama da família Upogebiidae são organismos importantes de comunidades de substrato não consolidado, onde eles cavam tocas agindo como engenheiros ecossistêmicos. O presente estudo descreve alguns parâmetros da estrutura populacional e biologia reprodutiva do camarão de lama Upogebia omissa. A coleta dos indivíduos foi realizada no estuário do rio Vaza-Barris, estado de Sergipe, nordeste do Brasil. Em laboratório, os espécimes foram sexados e mensurados quanto ao comprimento da carapaça (CL). Fêmeas ovígeras tiveram o total de ovos contados. O tamanho do corpo variou entre 3,0 e 12,9 mm CL, sendo os machos significativamente menores que as fêmeas. A razão sexual média foi de 0,34, voltado para as fêmeas (teste binomial, P = 0,001). A fecundidade variou de 240 a 2339 ovos por fêmea, e foi significativamente afetada pelo tamanho do corpo. Dimorfismo sexual evidenciado pelo tamanho médio de cada sexo é um padrão comum em decápodes que incubam ovos, e nesse caso, a fecundidade normalmente varia em função do tamanho do corpo. Por fim, sugerimos que estudos adicionais são necessários, devido à importância ecológica desses camarões de lama e da escassez de estudos sobre eles.

Published: December 2018

Generalized vehicle routing problem (GVRP), for each vertex of the graph is partitioned into vertex sets and called groups, it will be determined the optimal route given to each set group includes exactly one vertex of each group. Furthermore, the cluster generalized vehicle routing problem (CGVRP) was introduced which aims to determine the optimal route for each vertex for each cluster. The optimal route can be solved using the Djikstra Algorithm. The distribution of waste in the city of Sumbawa Besar is still considered to be less than optimal, so this system can be implemented by making direct connections between each polling station. This system produces the shortest route, travel details, distance between polling stations and travel costs.

Nanotubular oxide layers formed on the Ti-based implants surfaces-application and possible damages: a review
Authors: Barjaktarević Dragana Ranko , Djokić Veljko R , Damnjanović Ivana D. , Rakin Marko P.
Published: December 2018

Implant surface properties define the interaction of the implant with the surrounding tissue. To obtained advanced biological, mechanical and physical properties, metallic implants are often exposed to different kinds of surface modification. The electrochemical anodization process is an efficient method for nanostructured surface modification, which leads to the formation of nanotubular oxide layers on metallic surfaces. These obtained layers could be applied in biomedicine due to their chemical stability, biocompatibility and non-toxic nature in the human body. As a part of different kinds of medical implants such as dental implants, artificial hip joints, bone plates, screws, spinal fixation devices or stents, an oxide layer significantly increases cells adhesion and plays a significant role in improving the rate of osseointegration. However, an important topic in research of implants with a nanotubular oxide layer is integrity during fixation and exploitation and possible damage initiation and development. This review article aims to present the application of nanotubular oxide layers in biomedicine and to explain their influence on the biocompatibility and osseointegration of medical implants. Influence of the layers properties, such as roughness or contact angle, and the influence of their morphology on biocompatibility and osseointegration, as well as the influence of fixation and exploitation on the damage of the nanotubular oxide layer, are considered.

Authors: Barjaktarević Dragana Ranko , Rakin Marko P. , Djokić Veljko R.
Published: December 2018

Commercially pure titanium (cpTi) and titanium alloys are metallic implant materials usually used in dentistry and orthopaedics.  In order to improve implant properties, Ti-based materials may be surface modified by different procedures. One of the most attractive methods is electrochemical anodization, as a method for obtaining nanotubular oxide layer on the material surface, aiming at improving mechanical, biological and corrosion properties of the metallic biomaterials. In the present study, ultrafine-grained titanium (UFG cpTi) was obtained by high pressure torsion (HPT) under a pressure of 4.1 GPa with a rotational speed of 0.2 rpm, up to 5 rotations at room temperature. In order to form homogeneous nanotubular oxide layer on the UFG cpTi, the electrochemical anodization was performed in phosphoric acid containing 0.5 wt. % of NaF electrolyte during anodizing times of 30, 60 and 90 minutes. The characterisation of thus formed nanotubes was performed using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the surface topography was analysed using the atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results show that the electrochemical anodization process leads to an enhanced roughness of the surface. The mechanical behaviour of the UFG cpTi after the electrochemical anodization process is estimated using the nanoindentation technique. Obtained results show that anodized material has lower value of nanohardness than non-anodized material. Moreover, anodized UFG cpTi has lower modulus of elasticity than non-anodized UFG cpTi and the value is close to those observed in bones.

Published: December 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of modifying model BisGMA/TEGDMA dental composite by substituting 10 wt. % of conventional glass fillers with bioactive fillers based on calcinated nanosized hydroxyapatite (HAp) and Mg doped hydroxyapatite (Mg-HAp). HAp and Mg-HAp powders were synthesized hydrothermally. Mechanical properties: hardness by Vickers (HV) and flexural strength (Fs) were tested initially and after being stored for 28 days in simulated body fluid (SBF). The experimental composites with HAp and Mg-HAp particles showed no statistically significant difference in HV compared to the control (p>0.05) either initially or after storage. Although mean Fs values of modified composites tested initially were lower (62 MPa) than those of the control (72 MPa), after 28 days of storage in SBF Fs values were greater for modified composites (42 MPa control sample, 48 MPa HAp and Mg-HAp samples). In vitro bioactivity of BisGMA/TEGDMA composites with HAp and Mg-HAp particles after 28 days in SBF was not detected.

On the Concept of Transportation Engineering Investigations
Authors: Il’in N. N.
Published: December 2018

The paper addresses the current need to develop a special theory of the category of transportation engineering investigations, which remains underexplored to date. The author argues that the significance of these questions goes beyond the theoretical issues of their concept and classification, or definition of the subject, objects and objectives of investigation, and involves such practical aspects as the lack of adequate methodological resources to support most subcategories of examinations. The concept of transportation engineering investigations is articulated based on the general concepts of engineering and technology capturing the substance of this category of forensic examinations.
Developing the Language of the General Theory of Forensic Science
Authors: Krestovnikov O. A.
Published: December 2018

We know from experience that the language of the general theory of forensic science, like any science, is an extremely complex and diverse phenomenon. This language is characterized by specific “constructs” that arise as a result of specialized activity and can be effectively applied not only in the context of the conceptual theoretical framework of forensic science, but also by enforcement professionals in their daily practice. In order to ensure clarity, accuracy and accessibility of expressions in the language of the general theory of forensic science, to avoid polysemy of terms, vagueness and ambiguity of their content, and equivocality of expressions, special attention should be paid to the logical semantic processes in terminology inherent in this language. At the same time, questions need to be raised and addressed about the development of a general concept of terminological activity and the need to regulate and standardize both domestic and international terminology used in forensic expert practice.

Investigation of Gaming Equipment Used in Illegal Gambling Operations
Authors: Sebyakin A. G.
Published: December 2018

The article deals with certain aspects of investigating criminal cases related to illegal organization and operation of games of chance. The focus is on the application of various procedural forms of using specialized knowledge in computer technology, as well as the limits of an expert’s competence in this field. The author describes the main stages in the evolution of gambling equipment as a means of committing a crime, and compares the possibilities of equipment inspection by a specialist vs. a computer forensics examination. The application of these procedural forms is analyzed in the context of the origins of the gambling industry, which makes it possible to evaluate the performance of a procedural action (inspection of evidence) depending on the type of gaming equipment used. The advantages and disadvantages of both procedural forms of using specialized knowledge are described. The author addresses the persisting issue of the boundaries of expert competence when deciding whether the evidence under investigation qualifies as gaming equipment.
Teacher Characteristics, Student Beliefs, and the Gender Gap in STEM Fields
Authors: Sansone Dario
Published: December 2018

This article uses data from the U.S. High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 to investigate the relationship between high school students’ beliefs about female abilities in math and science and their teacher gender, beliefs, and classroom behaviors. Estimates are obtained by comparing the same ninth graders between math and science classes, thus controlling for student fixed effects. Students were less likely to believe that men were better than women in math or science when assigned to female teachers or to teachers who valued and listened to ideas from their students. The empirical analysis also provides evidence suggesting that these gender beliefs were related to the decisions by female students to take advanced math and science classes in high school.
What Is in a Definition? The How and When of Special Education Subgroup Analysis in Preschool Evaluations
Authors: Shapiro Anna , Weiland Christina
Published: December 2018

There are unique challenges to estimating causal effects of preschool for students with special needs that have not received attention in the literature. We revisit the Head Start Impact Study (HSIS) to illustrate that when and how special needs is defined has implications for the internal validity of and interpretation of special needs subgroup impact estimates. We find that the treatment group in the HSIS was three percentage points more likely to be classified as special education ( SD = 0.11, p < .001) at baseline, likely biasing the impact estimates for this subgroup. We also find that the estimated intent-to-treat effects of Head Start on cognitive and socioemotional measures are sensitive to subgroup definition.

Numerous studies have demonstrated that PCR has harmful consequences for children. The present research examines associations between PCR and children’s later relationships with young-adult peers. We conducted two cross-sectional studies (Study 1: 118 participants, 73 women; Study 2: 120 participants, 89 women). Study 3 involved collecting data from both members of a romantic heterosexual dyad (109 couples). Study 4 involved participants interacting with a neutral accomplice (73 participants, 56 women). We found support for several mediators of the association between PCR and young-adults' relationship quality: psychological need satisfaction (Studies 1 & 2), and projection of one’s own conditional regard onto a partner (Studies 3 & 4). Although longitudinal data are needed to establish causality, these findings suggest that exposure to PCR is negatively associated with adult-children's peer relationship quality, and offers clues for disrupting this inimical association.
Adding rooms onto a house we love: Central banking after the Global Financial Crisis

Published: December 2018

This article examines the extent to which central bankers have been willing and able to rethink their beliefs about monetary policy in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis. We show that despite the upheaval, the core pre-crisis monetary policy paradigm remains relatively intact: central bankers believe that they should primarily pursue price stability through targeting low inflation in a transparent manner, and that they need operational independence to achieve this goal. In a bid to address post-crisis conditions and maintain their credibility, however, central bankers have also layered new elements onto the old core. We document both the resilience of pre-crisis beliefs and the process of layering using computer-assisted text analysis and qualitative analysis of 13,586 speeches given between 1997 and 2017 by central bankers from around the world.

Absceso del músculo psoas iliaco como causa de lumbociatalgia
Authors: Jiménez Miguel , Pérez Cristina , Vega Carlos
Published: December 2018

Introducción: Se presenta el reporte de un caso clínico de Lumbociatica Aguda cuya etiología se correspondió con un Absceso en el músculo psoas iliaco izquierdo, evidenciado como la presencia de una colección de pus en el compartimiento del músculo iliopsoas, entidad relativamente poco frecuente y con una presentación clínica inespecífica y larvada. El caso fue asistido en el Hospital Provincial General Latacunga en el año 2016. Las etiologías más frecuentes de la lumbociatalgia son las discopatías y hernias de disco, siendo el absceso del psoas una entidad poco frecuente, pero al ser los procesos infecciosos una causal de lumbalgia y lumbociatica, en el orden diagnóstico siempre debe ser considerada esta posibilidad.

Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico de Absceso del músculo Psoas Iliaco como causa de lumbociatalgia.

Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo, presentación de caso clínico.

Resultados: Se reporta un caso atendido en el Hospital Provincial General de Latacunga, se trata de un paciente de 31 años con antecedentes de Pielonefritis aguda a los 19 años que acude por lumbociatalgia y se comprueba la presencia de un absceso del músculo psoas ilíaco como etiología del síntoma. El diagnóstico se realizó mediante exámenes de laboratorio, resonancia magnética nuclear de columna lumbar y ecografía abdominal. La conducta terapéutica se basó en antibioticoterapia de amplio espectro y la realización de un procedimiento mínimamente invasivo: drenaje del absceso por vía percutánea mediante la técnica de Seldinger guiado por ultrasonido. Los resultados fueron muy satisfactorios, con un seguimiento posterior durante un año.

Conclusiones: Se debe considerar el diagnóstico etiológico infeccioso ante una lumbociatalgia aguda, y entre sus variedades, tener en cuenta el absceso del músculo psoas ilíaco, aunque las discopatías y hernias del disco, le superen en frecuencia.
Urinary Complication Following Cystocele Repair in Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Authors: Shrestha Sweety
Published: December 2018

Aims: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition in our country which affects the quality of life of many women. After vaginal operations for genital prolapse, there is increased chance of urinary tract infections, retention of urine and re-catheterization.The objective of this study is to evaluate  women with cystocele  in terms of clinical profile, different modalities of treatment and the complication  following repair.Methods: It is a descriptive study carried out amongst 80 cases of cystocele irrespective of associated uterine descent and stress incontinence of urine in College Of Medical Sciences – Teaching Hospital, Nepal from 1/9/201l to 30/10/2013.Results: During the study, 80 women  with  cystocele  were enrolled. Majority of the women (66.3%, n =53) with cystocele were within 15 to 45 years and 53.8% (n=43) of them had parity beyond 5. Among these women, 51.4% (n=41) had second degree cystocele  and 23.8% (n=19) had stress urinary incontinence. Majority of the women (58.8%, n=40) underwent vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic floor repair. Following surgery, the most common complication was urinary tract infection (14.7%, n = 10).Conclusions: In this study, majority of the cases with cystocele were in the reproductive age with parity beyond 5 while maximum number of the women with cystocele had associated third degree uterocervical descent. Urinary tract infection was the commonest complication following surgical treatment followed by retention of urine.
Effect of disturbance on plant species diversity in moist tropical forest of eastern Nepal
Authors: Gautam Tilak Prasad , Mandal Tej Narayan
Published: December 2018

Species diversity is a key factor for the stability of ecosystems but the increasing disturbances in tropical forests resulted in the shrinkage of biological diversity. This study was conducted in undisturbed and disturbed stands of Sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn.) dominated moist tropical forest of Sunsari district, eastern Nepal in order to understand the herb, shrub and tree diversity. Present study reported the 47, 16 and 60 species of herbs, shrubs and trees, respectively. The species richness and the Shannon–Wiener index for tree species were higher in undisturbed forest (9.11 and 3.08, respectively), while the Simpson’s index (index of dominance) was higher in disturbed forest (0.11).  On the other hand, reverse case was found for shrubs and herbs where species richness and Shannon–Wiener index were higher but index of dominance was lower in disturbed forest. Changes in species diversity pattern reflect the effect of disturbance.
Relative condition factor, length-weight relationship and sex ratio of copper mahseer, Neolissochilus hexagonolepis (McClelland, 1839) from Tamor River, Nepal
Authors: Subba Suren , Subba Bharat Raj , Mahaseth Vinod Kumar
Published: December 2018

The present investigation was carried out for establishing the length weight relationship and to enumerate the relative condition factor and the sex ratio of Neolissochilus hexagonolepis from Tamor River, Nepal. Altogether 198 fishes were investigated from December 2014 till the end of November 2016. The sex ratio of the fish was found to be in the ratio of 1:1.2 with female dominating the catch for most parts of the year. Analysis of t-test showed a highly significant relationship (p˂0.05) between length and weight for male, female and sexes pooled. The fish was found to show isometric growth pattern with exponential value (b) equal to 2.962 for sexes pooled. The mean value of Fulton's condition factor (K) for sexes pooled was found to be 1.29 ± 0.49 giving the indication that the general well being of the fish was good. Sudden increase in the value of relative condition factor (Kn) in the size group 30-33 cm in male and 42-45 cm in female indicated their length range during which they showed the sign of maturation for the first time. Steep fall in the value of 'Kn' in size groups 33-36 cm onwards in male and 45-48 cm in female indicated their length range at spent phase.

An experiment was carried to assess the effect of red algal bloom on growth and production of carp, water quality and profit from carp for 120 days at Aquaculture Farm of Agriculture and Forestry University, Chitwan. The experiment included two treatments: carp polyculture in non-red pond and carp polyculture in red pond with algal bloom each with three replicates. Carp fingerlings were stocked at 1 fish/m2 and fed with pellet containing 24% CP at 3% body weight. Net yield of rohu was found significantly higher (p<0.05) in non-red ponds (0.38±0.01 t ha-1) than red ponds (0.24±0.05 t ha-1). Survival of rohu (84.9±1.4%), bighead (95.2±2.0%) and mrigal (88.1±14.4%) were also significantly higher (p<0.05) in non-red ponds than red ponds. Red algal bloom affected DO, nitrate and chlorophyll-a, nitrite, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total dissolved solids and conductivity. However, overall carp production and profit from carp remained unaffected.
