Authors: Alev Sakarya  , Seyfettin Dalgic  , Serap Senturk Dalgic
Published: January 2022

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to understand the structural stability of 2D nanosheets of gold and silver in hexagonal phase of 2H by the adsorption of small molecules. In this work, we have obtained the bonding and adsorption properties of such small molecules as H2O, H2O2, and C2H5OH on 2H phase of gold and silver nanosurfaces, through DFT method using Quantum Expresso (QE) code. The high absorption energy values of (-2.45 eV, -2,46 eV, -2, 41 eV) for H2O, H2O2, and C2H5OH molecules on 2H-Au surfaces, respectively obtained than that of 2H-silver surfaces that the interaction between small molecules and both 2H nanosurfaces corresponds to physisorption. However, during the adsorption, the gold surface in the 2H phase (2H-Au) seems to preserve its atomic structure, while 2H-Ag surface changes from 2H to the fcc structure. Based on the analysis of electronic and physicochemical properties, the composite systems of 2H-gold/2H-silver-small molecules exhibit semiconductor behaviour. While 2H-Ag surfaces have short recovery time values for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), this time is quite long for 2H-Au surfaces. Because of the long recovery time, Au-2H reported surfaces can be a candidate for possible applications of viral capture. Thus, the reported results are significant, and they would stimulate the experimental and further studies.

Authors: Zhou Qian
Published: January 2022

"English Curriculum Standards for Senior High School (2017)" puts forward higher requirements for the writing ability of students: students can use the language knowledge and cultural knowledge they have learned to create new texts according to different purposes and audiences. Writing is a difficult point. However, the current domestic English writing teaching effect is not satisfactory. English writing teaching has not been paid enough attention, and students lack the initiative to learn English writing. Scaffolding theory encourages teachers to follow the "student-centered" classroom teaching model and build scaffolds based on the students' recent development areas, so as to promote students' knowledge construction and meaningful learning, stimulate students' interest in English learning, and improve their English writing level. This article analyzes the teaching of English writing from the perspective of scaffolding theory. First, it introduces the research background, expounds "Zone of Proximal Development" and scaffolding theory, and discusses in detail the five steps of scaffolding theory applied in high school English writing classrooms. Finally, three teaching inspirations and suggestions are provided in order to improve the teaching effect of high school English writing.

In the context of rapid increase of the intelligence and information level in the field of industrial economy, China’s logistics industry has ushered in a stage of rapid development. Logistics and distribution services, a key sector in commodity circulation, play a significant role in the manufacturing industry and the national economy. However, there are still some problems in logistics and distribution services, as the traditional manual logistics mode still prevails, with the efficiency and information security compromised. In response to existing problems, this program aims to create an environmental protecting unmanned intelligent logistics distribution system. This system applies AGV trolley, the core product of this program, to intelligent navigation and transportation logistics. Based on the shared storage distribution path optimization model of the two-way service of supply and demand, the unmanned distribution trolley and distribution path are reasonably arranged as required by the user to deliver a great variety of raw materials and goods in information-based packaging boxes and unit cabinets to the destination on time. On the one hand, accurate logistics information becomes available as a result, which is beneficial for optimization and scheduling, so that the problem of parcel loss in logistics can be solved in general. On the other hand, users can trace the detailed logistics process in a precise manner. Furthermore, this design unit supports a highly efficient automated logistics approach, as goods of different sizes can be matched with design units with corresponding sizes, so that storage utilization is maximized, and the logistics loading and unloading process is simplified. In addition to its role in packaging, this design unit is also subject to recycling, as it protects the environment by reducing disposable packaging while protecting user privacy and optimizing user experience.

Published: January 2022

In industrial sectors, pickling and acid cleaning are mutual processes where acid solutions, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), are used to eliminate the corrosion products yielded on metal surfaces; thus, improving the performance of the machineries. However, the usage of the acid could lead to another metal deterioration. Dithiocarbamate inhibitor is defined as an organic compound that has good corrosion inhibition properties that can work as an inhibitor in an acid environment. Dithiocarbamate (DTC) assists by reducing acid reactiveness which prohibits metal dissolution in the acid. In this study, the Ni(II) N-butylmethyldithiocarbamate (Ni[BuMedtc]2) complex was synthesised by using an in-situ method and characterised by elemental analyser, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallographic study, and the chemical properties of the Ni[BuMedtc]2 complex was successfully calculated by the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) approach. The experimental results which were obtained through the weight-loss analysis method in two different acids – 1 M HCl and 1 M H2SO4 – indicated that the inhibition efficiency increased as the inhibitor concentration increased. The outcome showed that the Ni[BuMedtc]2 performed better as an inhibitor in 1 M HCl as compared to in1 M H2SO4 to protect the metal exterior because H2SO4 is more corrosive due to the excessive presence of H+.

Toronyházak alaprezgési periódusidejének becslése a talajágyazások figyelembevételével
Authors: Kanizsár Szilárd , Szepesházi Róbert
Published: January 2022

A földrengés okozta vízszintes terhek számítása szempontjából a 100-150 m magas toronyházak egyik sajátosságát a szokványos méretű épületekkel összevetve az alaprezgésük periódusideje jelenti. A talajra, mint ágyazó és egyben közvetítő közegre vonatkozó gyorsulási válaszspektrumok alapján a periódusidő függvényében jelentősen kisebb gyorsulásértékek adhatók meg a magasabb periódus idővel jellemezhető toronyházak esetén. A tervezési folyamat elején a periódusidők gyorsan és egyszerűen közelíthetők a különböző szabályzatok által is javasolt empirikus képletekkel. Ezek általában kevés paraméter alapján adnak becslést a periódusidőre, ebből kifolyólag pontosságuk olykor nem megfelelő, a különböző képletek eredményeinek szórása pedig meglehetősen nagy. A cikk olyan becslésre alkalmas képlet fejlesztését mutatja be, amely a talaj ágyazási merevségét, mint a periódusidőt befolyásoló tényezőt is figyelembe veszi. Ez használható eszköz a végeselemes modellezéssel meghatározható periódusidő becslésére abban a kezdeti tervezési fázisban, amikor az épület térbeli szerkezeti modellje még nem létezik.
The Therapeutic Benefits of Children’s Literature: Responding Through Making Art and Writing Stories
Authors:   , Dueck Janae
Published: January 2022

This study explores the use of a children's book followed by the application of the Draw A Story (DAS) art therapy assessment tool by Rawley Silver (1988). The study takes place in three elementary school classrooms located in the greater Bay Area region. Previous literature addresses the historical uses of children’s books and their potential to offer therapeutic benefit to young readers. Through a quasi-experimental, one-group posttest only design, eighteen second to third grade level students were asked to reflect on a children’s book by writing a story of their own. Participants were between the ages of seven and nine, and all attended the same school. After choosing two DAS provided stimulus cards, participants drew images including the two cards and explained their images through a story with them in it as the main character. Quantitative data was collected and scored based on the three DAS scoring scales: Scale for Assessing Emotional Content, Scale for Assessing Self-Image, and Scale for Assessing Use of Humor. Results were categorized as expressing more positively themed, neutral themed or negatively themed content in the artwork and description of the story. Themes were compared to the themes presented in the children's book to assess for similarities. It was concluded that 64% of participants appeared to identify with a drawn subject who had a positive or aggressive self-image, with 28% presenting more negative or dark humor in emotional content. No significant findings were made in the similarities of the participants’ artwork and story to the themes in the children's book. Future research should inquire for direct examination of students’ art and stories made in response to a children's book without any additional stimulus card or assessment.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of long term use of carbamazepine on lipid profile in adult epileptic patients

Methodology: The study was conducted in the Department of Neurology at BSMMU, Dhaka over a period of 2 years from January 2010 to December 2011. Adult epileptic patients taking carbamazepine as anticonvulsant and attending the Epilepsy Clinic and Neurology OPD of BSMMU, Dhaka were the study population. A total of 107 cases and 107 controls were included in the study. Data were collected by interview of the patients, clinical examination and laboratory investigations using the research instrument

Result: The mean age of case and control groups were almost identical (23.3 ± 6.8 vs. 23.8 ± 6.4 years, p = 0.972). The proportion of male and female patients was similar in both the study groups. Of the 107 cases, more than 70% had generalized epilepsy and the rest (29%) focal epilepsy. Of the 107 cases, 8% had family history of epilepsy. The prevalence of raised triglycerides and raised LDL were observed to be significantly higher in the case group than those in the control group (35.5% vs. 23.4%, p = 0.049 and 15% vs. 0.9%, p < 0.001 respectively). The prevalence of low HDL was also significantly higher in the former group than that in the latter group (43.9% vs. 18.7%, p < 0.001). The mean serum triglyceride and LDL were higher and mean HDL was lower in the case group than those in the control group. Over half (51.4%) of the case group exhibited dyslipidemia compared to the control group (27.1%). The risk of developing dyslipidemia in epileptic patients receiving carbamazepine for longer duration was nearly three-fold (95% of CI = 1.6 – 5.0) higher than that in the control group (p < 0.001). There is positive correlation between duration of carbamazepine treatment and lipid profile. Serum total cholesterol and triglycerides bear linear relationship with duration of treatment with carbamazepine (r = 0.201, p = 0.038 and r = 0.223, p = 0.021 respectively). The association of dyslipidemia with sex in epileptic patients receiving carbamazepine for more than 2 years. The proportion of dyslipdemia was considerably higher in the female patients than their male counterparts, although the difference was not statistically significant (55.3% vs. 41.9%, p < 0.211).

Conclusion: A conclusion can be made from the above mentioned result that long-term use of carbamazepine in epileptic patients may cause dyslipidemia and the risk of having dyslipidemia in such patients is 3 times greater than the normal healthy population.

Authors: Alam Shamsul , Uddin AN Wakil , Majumder Mashiur Rahman , Hasan Md Motasimul , Ahmed Anis
Published: January 2022

Objective: To describe the transcallosal and transcortical approach to deal with intraventricular tumors.

Methods: Details of the transcallosal and transcortical approach to intraventricular tumors of the lateral and third ventricles were presented.

Results: Intraventricular tumors are ideal indications for microscopic neurosurgery. They often cause cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathway obstruction, resulting in ventricular dilatation. The general principle of removal of intraventricular tumors was interruption of the blood supply to the tumor and subsequent tumor debulking. In general, a piecemeal resection was performed; however, in some tumors such as meningioma, it was possible to detach the lesion from the surrounding brain tissue and remove it in toto. When the tumor found in the anterior part of the third ventricle, the craniotomy was done at the coronal suture. When the tumor was located in the posterior part, the entry craniotomy was selected more anteriorly in order to pass the foramen of Monro in a straight line.

Conclusion: Intraventricular tumors and related CSF pathway obstructions can be safely and effectively treated with micro neurosurgical techniques, either by transcallosal or transcortical approach. The aim should be the total extraction of the tumor with minimum damage and the chosen operative corridor should optimize tumor access and the protection of vulnerable neurovascular structures. Lateral ventricle tumors can be removed via transcortical approach when having hydrocephalus which provides a wider and more direct approach to the tumor than the transcallosal one. It allows the surgeon to achieve good functional outcome and maximum excision of the tumor. Transcallosal is an excellent midline exposure with preserving the callosomerginal and pericallosal arteriesto the midline tumor of lateral and 3rd ventricles.

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University to observe the effect of sowing methods and weeding regimes on the yield of sesame. The experiment comprised of two factors. Two methods of sowing i.e., broadcasting and line sowing (S2), and six weeding regimes- control (T0), weed free (T1), one hand weeding at 15 DAS (T2), two hand weedings at 15 and 30 DAS (T3), three hand weedings at 15, 30 and 45 DAS (T4) and application of Panida (Pendimethalin) herbicide (T5) at 3 DAS. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Almost all the yield characters of sesame were affected significantly due to sowing methods, weeding regime and their interaction. Result showed that the l ine sowing showed better performance regarding plant height (100.40 cm), number of branches (4.983) plant–1, number of capsules plant–1 (47.82), number of seeds capsule–1 (69.66), 1000–seed weight (2.96 g), seed yield (956.90 kg ha–1), stover yield (2167.0 kg ha–1), biological yield (3123.00 kg ha–1) and harvest index (31.45%) than that of broadcasting method. Also weed free treatment had the highest plant height (101.90 cm), highest number of branches (5.00) plant-1, highest capsule (47.08) plant–1, heaviest 1000–seed weight (3.28 g), highest number of seeds capsule–1 (76.22), highest seed yield (974.30 kg ha–1), stover yield (2947.0 kg ha–1) and biological yield (3922.0 kg ha–1) as compared to other treatments while unweeded plot had least significant effect among the whole yield and yield attributes of sesame. In case of interactions, both weed free treatment and herbicidal effect with line sowing methods produced the highest plant height, number of branches and capsules plant–1, seeds capsule–1, seed yield, stover yield and biological yield (109.80 cm, 5.967, 56.57, 81.53, 1054.0 kg ha–1, 3139.0 kg ha–1 and 4193.0 kg ha–1, respectively) as compared to other interaction combinations. The results of the study reveal that the weed free treatment along with line sowing would be the proper technique for higher production of sesame. But line sowing along with application of Panida herbicide would be the best combination for obtaining higher yield of sesame since it is not feasible for the farmers to keep their field weed free throughout all the growing periods.

Two types of fodder crops were evaluated in this study, maize (Zia maize) and black gram (BG) (Vigna mungo) and in maize, non-descriptive local maize (LM) and hybrid maize (HM) verity were used. LM was considered as control and changes of the nutritional composition according to the type of fodder (leguminous and non-leguminous) and the day was evaluated. For comparative nutritional analysis, dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fibre (CF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), and total ash were analyzed and the biomass yield was measured using weight balance and root and shoot length of experimental fodders. Results revealed that among three types of forages total DM was significantly (P<0.01) higher in HM and significantly (P<0.01) lower in BG. Considering total CP and NDF, it was significantly (P<0.01) higher in BG and HM than LM. The highest biomass yield and shoot length were observed in BG and the lowest biomass yield was observed in HM. Moreover, with the increment of days, all fodder sprouts DM% was constantly decreasing, however, CP% maintained the same level from day 1 to 5. Although from day 6 to 9, CP% increased moderately for HM and BG, CP% decreased slightly for LM. Therefore, farmer can use BG and HM for maximum utilization of nutrients and considering DM and CP% for LM day 6 was the best time for harvesting; however, for HM and BG, day 9 or more than 9 was the best time for harvesting.

A Method for Evaluating the Daylighting of Premises Using BIM
Authors: Konstantinov Alexander P.
Published: January 2022

The paper presents a method for assessing the daylighting of premises, which can be used directly at the stage of architectural and construction design of buildings in building information model (BIM) software complexes. The calculation method is based on the calculation of the sky factor by constructing a solid angle formed by the calculated point and the light opening of the outer wall. These operations are proposed to be performed automatically using visual programming programs that work together with the BIM complexes. Since the considered calculation method is based on the idea of the physical meaning of the daylight factor, it can be used to evaluate the daylighting according to almost any regulatory method.
At the same time, all the data necessary for the calculation can be obtained directly from the building information model. The method is universal and can be used both for the calculation of side and top daylighting, considering the surrounding development. The proposed method can also be used as a tool for finding the best design solution for translucent structures of the designed building based on the requirements of thermal protection, daylighting, and safety.

This article proposes the usage of alternative energy instead of traditional, as safer, and environmentally friendly for the planet and all humankind in the manufacture of monolithic concrete and reinforced concrete products. Monolithic concreting in the conditions of the construction site is now widespread in the construction industry. The subject of the article is considered of the issues of heat treatment of concrete and acceleration of its hardening processes using solar energy. A brief review and classification of the most well-known and common energy sources used to harden acceleration of the concrete mix such as wind power, biofuels, solar energy, alternative hydropower is given. For consideration in the article offers the solar energy – the energy received from solar radiation. The sun as a source is an inexhaustible and affordable type of energy that supplies energy several times higher than traditional sources. In this regard, attention is paid to this field of alternative energy when using it in various spheres of the national economy, especially in the field of construction. Already existing methods of heat treatment of concrete with the help of solar technology are considered, the modern level of development of these methods is defined and further ways of their development are planned. As an example, a physical and mathematical model of a non-stationary heat transfer process in a flat reinforced concrete structure during its heat treatment using solar energy, considering the hydration of cement, is considered. Analytical expressions are obtained that allow us to model the process at any stage and actively intervene and adjust the external parameters to create rational and comfortable conditions for increasing the strength of concrete.
