The Effect of Spatial Configuration on the Movement Distribution Behavior
Authors: Fareh F. , Alkama D.
Published: October 2022

This study examines the correlation between spatial configuration and movement behavior within the traditional urban fabric of Constantine city. The distribution of pedestrian movement was modeled in relation to the syntactic measures of street networks. The results showed a significant correlation between pedestrian volume with integration and choice measures at the global scale (Rn), however, the local scale (R3) did not capture the variance and the presence of the movement. The measures of connectivity that are used to describe the density of street connections also revealed a weak association with the presence of people within the dense traditional layout of the research area. The results support the previous findings of space syntax theory, asserting the important role of the street network structure in assessing the configurational accessibility of a given spatial layout. However, we do not assert its exclusive role in determining the natural-movement patterns. Therefore, consideration should be given to more external indicators, like the interaction with land use and socioeconomic activities. We conclude that examining the network radius-based attributes of street configuration can provide a clear understanding of spatial variations in pedestrian activity within multi-scale walkable areas, which helps planners improve the livability of the city by designing more friendly walkable streets.
A Parametric Study of Fire-Damaged Reinforced Concrete Columns under Lateral Loads
Authors: Baghdadi M. , Dimia M. S. , Baghdadi D.
Published: October 2022

Columns are the structural members of buildings that ensure structural stability. A fire can severely affect the columns' structural performance by degrading the properties of their constituent materials, thereby reducing the strength capacity, stiffness, and stability. In seismic zones, the knowledge of the post-fire behavior of these elements is a fundamental requirement for a realistic seismic performance assessment. This study utilized numerical analysis using the parametric fire model of Eurocode-1 to estimate the post-fire axial and lateral performance of reinforced concrete columns. In the first step, the axial load-bearing capacity was evaluated from a parametric study for cantilever columns. In the second step, the lateral load capacity, force-displacement behavior, stiffness, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, and residual displacements were estimated to determine the impact of fire damage on the behavior of columns under lateral loads. The results showed that both the lateral load capacity and the ductility of the reinforced concrete columns decreased significantly due to fire exposure. This also indicated that fire damage decreases the vertical load-bearing capacity, and the reduction in lateral capacity was attributed to the loss of concrete's compressive strength. The column characteristics that significantly influence the residual response behavior were identified as section size, column height, axial load ratio, and concrete's compressive strength.

Authors: Ali S. S. , Albayati A. H. K.
Published: October 2022

The auditory system can suffer from exposure to loud noise and human health can be affected. Traffic noise is a primary contributor to noise pollution. To measure the noise levels, 3 variables were examined at 25 locations. It was found that the main factors that determine the increase in noise level are traffic volume, vehicle speed, and road functional class. The data have been taken during three different periods per day so that they represent and cover the traffic noise of the city during heavy traffic flow conditions. Analysis of traffic noise prediction was conducted using a simple linear regression model to accurately predict the equivalent continuous sound level. The difference between the predicted and the measured noise shows that the model's accuracy is 93.93%. The results show the effectiveness of the suggested method and confirm its applicability in developing mitigation plans for both existing and future roadways. To test the effectiveness of the suggested method, the selected location of different road functional classifications of Kirkuk city in Iraq was studied. It was noticed that in all the selected sites, the noise level was observed to be above the permissible noise standard of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Authors: Kumar S. , Majeedullah M. , Buriro A. B. , Rohibullah .
Published: October 2022

Mapping is an essential and basic requirement for a mobile robot in order to be able to navigate autonomously. This paper proposes a solution for autonomous navigation and real-time mapping using the virtual humanoid robot called NAO. The robot navigates through its environment using ultrasonic sensors only and develops a 2-D map of the environment. For implementation and testing, the Webots simulator was used. It provides real-time values, modification and designing of the 3-D world arena, and plugins for other parameters control. We test autonomous navigation in differently shaped environments. The proposed mathematical algorithm allows the autonomous navigation of the robot and calculates the position of the robot and the obstacles (if any). The results indicate that the algorithm can localize the robot within the environment whereas the accuracy in localization can be increased by adding a control constant to the orientation of the robot. The results demonstrate that the algorithm is more effective in the rectangular arena than in the triangular and pentagon arenas.

Published: October 2022

This paper describes the development of a simple quadrilateral strain-based element for plane stress and strain problems. This element has five nodes, four located at its corners and one at the center. Each of the four corner nodes had two essential external degrees of freedom (u, v), while the center node had three degrees of freedom (u, v, ɵ); the static condensation method was used for the internal node. This element was used for both linear and dynamic analysis. Its performance was assessed using a variety of membrane and axisymmetric analysis problems. The obtained results demonstrated the good performance and accuracy of the proposed element.

Published: October 2022

The electrical conductivity of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) may be used to reduce the dangers of lightning strikes, radar radiation, and aerial radio frequency transmitters. Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) were created to guard against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) in the aircraft's electric and electrical systems. High-Intensity Radiated Field Protection (HIRFP) aircrafts are required to be manufactured from a metal matrix consisting of Al6061, Al2O3, and Fly Ash (FA) to keep up with the ever-increasing needs of industry. The current work considered three MMC combinations. MMC1 is AL6061+10% and Al2O3+5% FA, MMC2 consists of AL6061+15 and Al2O3+5% FA, and MMC3 of AL6061+20% and Al2O3+5% FA. These MMCs made the shielding more effective at different percentages. The material electrical properties were interpreted based on experiments. Analytical approaches include the testing of the electrical parameters of materials to measure the shielding effectiveness. The calculated shielding efficiencies MMC1-55.7dB, MMC2-57.2dB, and MMC3-59.1dB allow the composites to be employed in aircrafts. This indicates that, for specific applications like HIRFPs, the constructed MMCs perform well.

Published: October 2022

The main aim of the current research was to investigate the behavior of ferrocement mortar reinforced with waste plastic fibers at elevated temperatures. The use of PET residues in ferrocement mortar at normal temperatures could be a viable option. However, the utilization of PET-containing ferrocement mortar in high-temperature applications requires more research. In this study, one reference mix was made along with 3 other mixes containing Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) fiber by volumetric ratios of 0.5, 0.75, and 1%. Compressive and flexural strength tests were performed on the samples before and after being exposed to elevated temperatures. Each batch of ferrocement mortar samples was heated to the requisite temperature for roughly 60 minutes, then was progressively cooled to room temperature before being tested. The compressive and flexural strengths of some samples were evaluated at room temperature (25°C). Other samples were evaluated after being exposed to high temperatures in an electric furnace (100°C, 200°C, 400°C, and 600°C). Both compressive and flexural strengths were found to be significantly reduced after being exposed to a temperature greater than 400°C. Results proved that the addition of 0.75% PET was determined as the optimum percentage that enhanced the mechanical properties of the produced ferrocement mortar at 25°C. At 200°C, the ferrocement mortar samples retained their original color. As a result of the combustion of PET fibers, black spots formed on the top surfaces of the tested specimens that were heated to 400°C.

Published: October 2022

The generation of mathematical photograms (photos) as data is universally accepted as the basis for photogrammetric studies. New development in the field of computer technology has had a major influence on photogrammetry. This paper aims to describe the development of a computer system called SimuPhotos designed to produce simulated data in different forms for testing photogrammetric methodologies, software, and instruments. SimuPhotos is capable of generating photogrammetric blocks with different specifications. It generates the simulated data for the whole block, strips, or selected photos. The simulated free error data include the camera interior orientation parameters, ground coordinates of points, and for each photograph, camera exterior orientation parameters, and the photo coordinates of imaged points. To increase the capabilities of the developed system, it has a special error generator to get normally distributed error(s) with arbitrary mean(s) and standard deviation(s). The obtained errors are then, if required, applied to the error-free photo and ground coordinates of points. The developed system interfaces CAD technology to generate simulated photogrammetric data in DXF and raster formats which are suitable for testing the photogrammetric instruments and softcopy systems. SimuPhotos has been used for testing the analytical photogrammetric system PhotoMap. The results showed that PhotoMap is free of system error and is functional. Also, the results showed that SimuPhotos can effectively provide a convenient, economical, and accurate testing tool for photogrammetric systems. The developed system is quite versatile and affordable.
ÖDEMİŞ MÜZESİ’NDE KORUNAN KADIN BAŞI BETİMLİ MOBİLYA AYAĞI
Authors: ARLI Yaşar
Published: October 2022

Ödemiş Müzesi’nden alınan izinle ilk kez kaleme alınan, buluntu yeri ve yılı bilinmeyen mobilya ayağı parçası, ince tanecikli beyaz mermerden yontulmuştur. İzmir Arkeoloji Müzesi’nden, Ödemiş Müzesi’ne teslim edilen mobilya parçasının ya bir masa ya da sehba ayağı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu mobilya parçası üzerinde yüksek kabartma tekniğiyle tasvir edilen yetişkin bir kadın başı yer alır. Kadın başındaki saç modası, karakteristik özelliklerinin aktarılışı ve uygulanan kabartma tekniği de mobilya ayağı için bir dönem önerisi getirilmesini mümkün kılmıştır. Kadın başının her iki yanındaki geçişlerin oldukça sıkı verildiği dalgalı saç bukleleriyle tasarlanan saç modası, Roma İmparatorluğun ilk hanedanlığından, Antoninler Hanedanlığı’ndaki resmi kadın portrelerinde görülen saç modalarıyla karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu karşılaştırmalar neticesinde kadın portresindeki saç modasının, Hadrianus’un eşi Vibia Sabina’yla benzer olduğu görülür. Saç modasıyla Hadrianus dönemine verilen kadın başındaki yüz hatlarının idealize edilerek aktarılması da kadın portresi için önerilen dönemi desteklemektedir. Ayrıca yüksek kabartma tekniğiyle yontulan kadın başındaki bu kabartma tekniği de Hadrianus dönemindendir. İmparator Hadrianus’un sanatsal anlayışının bir sonucu olarak bu dönemin portre ve yontu sanatında Neoklasizm söz konusudur ve bu sanatsal tercihten dolayı da döneminin kadın portrelerinde “Ceres Tipi” saç modası, Roma idealizmi ve yüksek kabartma tekniği gibi üslup özellikleri uygulanır. Aynı zamanda bu dönemin bir diğer önemli üslup özelliklerinden biri de göz bebeği ve irisin, portre sanatında ilk kez matkap yardımıyla işlenmiş olunmasıdır. Bu üslup özelliği de kadın başının tarihlendirilmesinde oldukça önemlidir. Son olarak kadın portresindeki karakteristik özellikler, verildiği dönemin resmi portresiyle de karşılaştırılarak; kadın başına bir kimlik önerisi de getirilmiştir.

МЕТОДЫ ВЫДЕЛЕНИЯ ГЕНОМНОЙ ДНК НЕКОТОРЫХ РЕДКИХ ВИДОВ РЫБ
Authors: К.Б. Адырбекова , К.Б. Исбеков
Published: October 2022

Настоящее исследование было направлено на экономичное выделение значительного количества ДНК из определенной ткани рыб без какого-либо потенциального ущерба. Для этой цели предпочтительно выбиралась ткань из плавников, так как подлежит быстрой регенерации. Выделение геномной ДНК является фундаментальным шагом для изучения генетического разнообразия и филогении видов. Протокол должен быть эффективным, занимать меньше времени, экономичным и не травмирующим, особенно для редких, эндемичных и исчезающих видов. Всего для выделения ДНК использовали 16 образцов тканей плавников двух редких видов рыб. Внесение некоторых модификаций в методы выделения на спин-колонках и набором для выделения привело к получению большого количества ДНК высокого качества, которые были выделены от живых рыб и немедленно консервированы в этаноле. Модификации включают использование большего количества Протеиназы К и небольшое увеличение времени на процесс лизиса из-за жесткой структуры плавника. ДНК, экстрагированная двумя методами, была достаточно чистой, высокого качества и пригодна для последующей ПЦР-амплификации. Этот метод особенно подходит для выделения ДНК исчезающих, эндемичных и редких видов, поскольку требует минимального количества фрагмента ткани без какого-либо вредного воздействия на рыб.

Сегодня отслеживается тенденция снижения рыбопродуктивности рыбохозяйственных водоёмов страны и укладываются в приоритетные задачи «Концепции по переходу Республики Казахстан к «зеленой экономике». В условиях Казахстана, не имеющего выхода к Мировому океану, обеспечение продовольственной и пищевой безопасности требуетиспользования имеющихся водоемов по максимуму в плане получения биопродукции, что невозможно без проведения углубленных исследований возможностей повышения рыбопродуктивности водоемов за счет интродукции кормовых для рыб безпозвоночных.В статье приведены результаты интродукции кормовых для рыб бентосных беспозвоночных, проводившейся в 60-70-х годах прошлого столетия на водохранилище Буктырма и озере Жайсан. Показано, чтомаксимальный положительный эффект дали мероприятия по интродукции ледниковоморских и понтокаспийских мизид и байкальских гаммарусов, данные по изменению запасов мизид и гаммарусов в озере Жайсан и водохранилище Буктырма в период с 1973 по 2019 год. Показано, что эти беспозвоночные создают значительную долю в общих запасах макрозообентоса. Интродукция мизид и гаммарусов не нанесла ущерба аборигенной бентофауне, т.к. вселенцы заняли биотопы, которые были слабозаселены местными беспозвоночными. После успешной акклиматизации общая биомасса бентоса в целом по водохранилищу увеличилась примерно в2 раза, при этом аборигенные виды не только не снизили, а даже увеличили свою численность и биомассу. Сделан вывод, что, несмотря на вселение случайных видов, итоги акклиматизации кормовых для рыб беспозвоночных в озеро Жайсан и водохранилище Буктырма следует признать положительными. И насегодняшний день могут быть также рекомндованы к велению кормовые для рыб безпозвоночные.

Design & Fabrication of Automatic Color & Weight-Based Sorting System on Conveyor Belt
Authors: Nuva Tasnuva Jahan , Ahmed Md. Imteaz , Mahmud Sarker Safat
Published: October 2022

Object sorting is a basic process that is employed in a variety of disciplines in our daily lives for our convenience. Previously, the sorting operation was done by hand using labor justification. Because product quality does not remain consistent during the typical sorting process, it adds complexity to the segregation of products based on their height, color, size, and weight. This method is also time-consuming and slows down output. To overcome these problems, Low-Cost Automation (LCA) has been implemented in the sorting system, which aims to reduce production time, labor cost, and processing complexity, improve product quality, increase production rate, etc. So, in this project, an effective method has been developed for automatically sorting the object based on color and weight. This method uses a conveyor belt, strain gauge load cell, DC motor, servo motor, TCS 34725 RGB color sensor, LCD, LED, and LDR to identify, separate, and collect the objects according to their color and weight. Arduino is used to controlling all the processes. This work has sorted three types of colors -red, , green, and blue, and the weight of different ranges. Firstly, the weights have been sorted by load cell, and then the desired colors have been sorted by color sensor. A bucket at the end of the conveyor belt can be rotated depending on the signal sent from the Arduino to collect the box. The collecting box has a specific portion in a particular color. Hence, it could be rotated at a specific angle for an exact weight for red, blue, and green colors.
Heracles / Hércules, entre Oriente y Occidente
Authors: Jiménez San Cristóbal Ana Isabel
Published: October 2022

Heracles/Hércules, el héroe grecorromano por excelencia, presenta rasgos que lo aproximan al sumerio Ninurta y al mesopotámico Gilgamés en cuanto tipología, modus operandi y proezas. Los tres tienen ascendencia divina y median entre naturaleza y civilización, enfrentándose a seres monstruosos y abriendo nuevos espacios. Gilgamés y Heracles, además, se revelan contra sus limitaciones humanas y aspiran a la inmortalidad. En el presente trabajo se comparan distintas hazañas de Ninurta, Gilgamés y Heracles con el fin de determinar cuáles de ellas presentan características comunes, en qué medida se puede hablar de influencia y, en tal caso, el modo en que esta se ha producido.

Constituted as a result of the adequacy of a sentence to communicative context, the discursive variants suppose, in linguistic terms, the variation of the informational structure of the sentence in relation to its semantic-syntactic structure. Described in terms of old/new information, the discursive variants are formed due to the operations involved in the discursive updating of the fundamental structures of the sentences, which are the thematisation and rhematisation of certain component elements of the sentence. The model that presents the sentence as a set of discursive variants combines semantic, syntactic and pragmatic or discursive criteria. Thus, in the process of analyzing these variants, the role of determining factors in the informational organization of the sentence was taken into account, these aspects being correlated with the marks of the informational structure of the sentence.

The dynamism of a language is sustained by the flexible and receptive character at the lexico-semantic level. An important contribution to the development and enrichment of the current vocabulary is made not only by the lexemes of English origin (Anglicisms), but also by the derivatives produced from them. Integrated in the Romanian linguistic system, the newly created elements become authentic structural and functional units. In the present study, the author selected and analyzed a series of English words with extended circulation in the specialized languages and their lexical family, which they constitute/ complete in the meantime with units formed on Romanian territory. Most of the examined terms are recorded in the recent lexicographical works, but there are also words that circulate only in the mass media, in various fields of public activity and in the colloquial style, demonstrating the linguistic creativity and inventiveness of the users.
Surnames Derived from the Hide Processing Terminology
Authors:   Craiova University, Romania, Oanca Teodor
Published: October 2022

Since the earliest times, hide processing has been a necessity in order to provide people with clothing and footwear. In the Middle Ages, craftsmen specialized in hide processing were differentiated and names according to the pieces of clothing or footwear they produced: they were furriers or skinners, shoemakers, leather cutters, traditional footwear makers and tanners etc. An important role in the development of this type of activity (processing domestic and wild animal hides) has been played by the technological progress that involved the use of chemical substances meant to ensure high-quality products. The appellatives selected as being part of the hide processing terminology became sources of nicknames or bynames in the 19th century, and later became official surnames as a result of the 1895 Name Law. At present 175 active surnames have been identified and the region and county frequency of occurrence is mentioned in the Appendix, according to The Anthoponymic Romanian Database
Representations and Consequences of Moral Evil in Cenușă rece by Mihaela Perciun

Published: October 2022

This article offers a literary analysis of the existential dilemmas and psychological traumas of the characters in Mihaela Perciun’s novel, Cenușă rece. The sources and the chain of causality that marked the destinies of the characters from the perspective of moral evil are particularly highlighted. We have shown that moral deviations and the constraint of freedom of conscience are what can create both social dissensions and identity fractures over time. By using black humor, the author illustrates an upside-down world, wicked and with values followed only on a declarative level, thus managing to offer us a full picture of this society. It also analyzes the drama of three generations of women and how the male character, Tudor Cocargea, marked their existence by one moral slip he committed. Thus, we found that the characters, although they are blood relatives, are devoid of affection and totally unknown to each other
Land Lyricism and the Homodiegetic Narrative Register
Authors:   Moldova State University, Gabura Carolina
Published: October 2022

The homodiegetic narrator, emphasizing in his narrative emotional feelings of great sensitivity, often shows predispositions to lyricism. The source of this lyricism is located in the so-called original, artistic self, which works as a source of emotional irradiation that resonates in the person of the author. He, in turn, creates in the work, under the aspect of a fictional identity, a discursive instance, the narrator, following a human model, most often, his model. If the author himself as a person is marked by emotional exuberance, has inclinations towards the predominantly affective assessment of reality, then, mainly, his fictional self will be endowed with an emotional-psychological structure similar to his, so he will have a lyrical identity. And lyricism, intrinsic to the actual identity of the author, is called land. The article comprises some essential theses about the nature of land lyricism and its manifestations in the works written by M. Sadoveanu, L. Blaga, Z. Stancu

Bank is an institution that has an intermediary role or as an intermediary between parties with excess funds (surplus spending units) and parties with shortages of funds (deficit spending units) which indirectly helps the circulation of money in society. In order to remain able to carry out this role, public confidence in the bank's performance is needed. Migration to digital will be a challenge for changing the environment when economic actors and the public do not fully understand how to conduct economic transactions and choose digital banking. The outputs that will be produced are educational solutions and informative outreach to the community by collaborating with media partners. In this context, the role of technology in turning banks into digital banking is expected to change the mindset of the behavior of customers and bank employees in transacting from conventional to digital.

Vehicular communications are gaining a lot of attention for the delivery of enhanced mobility services that require multi-Gbps and low latency connections. In this paper, we focus on Infrastructure-to-Vehicle (I2V) communications where a gNB has to assign spatial resources to a number of connected vehicle users. To efficiently manage the scheduling, we compare the Zero Forcing (ZF) and Maximum Ratio (MR) precoding strategies by evaluating the effect of shifting from sub-6 GHz to millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies in urban and highway mobility scenarios. We analyze the impact of the geometry of the environment and propagation characteristics at different frequencies in terms of number of users that can be served and spectral efficiency. To model the I2V channel, we integrate realistic traffic conditions generated by SUMO into an accurate channel model based on ray tracing software by WirelessInsite. By numerical results we demonstrate the degradation at mmWave compared to sub-6 GHz on the multiplexing gain. We show the higher efficiency of ZF compared to MR as the former is not limited by inter-user interference, especially in urban scenarios where the number of distinctive eigendirections in space is limited. On the other hand, highway mobility has a more uniform distribution of vehicles that can be conveniently explored by the ZF scheduling to serve more users. Lastly, we show the benefits of adopting a higher number of transmit antennas at mmWave jointly with efficient scheduling to achieve higher spectral efficiency.

Published: October 2022

With the development of new technologies, there has been an upsurge in the demand for precise localization in both outdoor and indoor environments. While a Global Positioning System (GPS) provides sufficient positioning precision in outdoor settings, its accuracy declines in indoor scenarios, necessitating the development of novel positioning approaches that function accurately both indoors and outdoors. The use of various Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) parameters for localization has been conceptualized. In this study, we attempt to do localization using machine learning methods on WLAN Received Signal Strength Indicator (WLAN RSSI) measurements. We compare the performance of multiple machine learning algorithms on the data set to see which can be used to design efficient future localization systems. The proposed study has achieved second place for the problem statement "ITU-ML5G-PS-016: Location estimation using RSSI of wireless LAN" in AI/ML in 5G Challenge 2021 organized by the International Telecommunication Union.
A measurement data-based investigation of fading modeling for indoor THz wireless systems

Published: October 2022

The terahertz (THz) band offers a vast amount of still unallocated bandwidth, which makes it a promising enabler for future sixth generation wireless systems. The high frequencies of the THz band lead to a significantly reduced multipath richness of the propagating THz signals. However, there are still paths that can carry a significant amount of power. As a result, the THz band small-scale fading characterization is of particular interest and the appropriate stochastic distributions that best fit the empirical channels need to be identified. This work investigates the suitability of the 'alpha-mu', Rice and Nakagami-m distributions to adequately model the small-scale fading statistics of the channel gain measurements of various Line-of-Sight (LoS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) indoor THz wireless links. The fitting accuracy of the examined analytical distributions is validated by means of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the logarithmic Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the root-mean-square-error. Also, the ergodic capacity based on the channel gain measurements as well as on the 'alpha-mu', Rice and Nakagami-m distributions is presented. Based on the fitting accuracy metrics the Rice and 'alpha-mu' yield the best fit for the LoS and NLoS links, respectively. The Nakagami-m does not fit the empirical distributions for any of the presented links. Furthermore, insights are provided for the ranges of the extracted values of the analytical distributions in LoS and NLoS transmission conditions.
