Panorama da utilização de tanques sépticos e filtros anaeróbios no tratamento descentralizado de esgotos no Brasil
Authors: Cristiele Rodrigues Mesquita Tayane , Pereira Rosa André , Carraro Borges Alisson
Published: April 2022

O uso de sistemas tipicamente utilizados na gestão descentralizada de esgotos, tais como tanques sépticos e filtros anaeróbios (TS+FAN), é frequente no Brasil. Contudo, o registro de informações a respeito dessas unidades é escasso, o que impossibilita a verificação de sua atuação efetiva no tratamento de esgotos. Diante disso, objetivou-se nesse estudo avaliar o cenário atual do saneamento no Brasil e realizar um levantamento das estações de tratamento de esgotos (ETEs) TS+FAN em operação, por meio de dados fornecidos pela Agência Nacional de Águas e complementados por outras fontes, a fim de avaliar o desempenho de TS+FAN quanto à eficiência e ao atendimento à legislação. Segundo o levantamento realizado, 2.795 ETEs estão instaladas no Brasil e cerca de 11% destas utilizam TS+FAN, com predominância de ETEs de pequeno porte, localizadas nas regiões Sul e Sudeste. Cerca de 54% das ETEs TS+FAN possuem eficiência de remoção de DBO inferior à mínima relatada na literatura, e a exigência da legislação quanto a esse parâmetro não foi cumprida em 70% destas ETEs. Consequentemente, menos de 50% da carga orgânica afluente às ETEs TS+FAN é removida após o tratamento. Diante dos resultados obtidos, pode-se inferir que as ETEs TS+FAN no Brasil não operam em consonância com seu potencial. A avaliação realizada nesse estudo apresenta uma contribuição para a verificação do desempenho real de sistemas TS+FAN no Brasil e sua atuação na proteção da saúde pública e do ambiente.

Published: April 2022

Este trabalho propõe uma metodologia de compostagem doméstica em que se utilizam materiais de baixo custo e não há mistura dos resíduos. Testaram-se três recipientes (45, 70 e 135L) com os resíduos estruturantes (RE): grama, poda e serragem. Restos de alimentos foram inseridos em camadas sendo recobertos pelos RE. Nos testes, incluíram-se unidades-controle sem a presença de ME. As variáveis foram: temperatura, pH, condutividade elétrica, carbono orgânico, nitrogênio total e C/N. Verificou-se que, em 300 dias, a massa total adquiriu qualidade homogênea e satisfatória. Com 90 dias, a região de fundo já se encontrava decomposta e sem odor. O melhor recipiente, em termos operacionais, foi o de 70L; no entanto, o de 135L obteve melhores resultados de temperatura. Serragem e poda foram os RE mais viáveis quanto à qualidade final e operação. A redução mínima do volume de resíduos atingida foi de 83% ao final do tratamento, portanto este método contribui para a gestão de resíduos sólidos municipais como alternativa para resíduos enviados a aterros sanitários ou lixões.

Efetividade dos princípios da transparência e universalização do saneamento na região Norte brasileira entre 2007 e 2018
Authors: Farias da Silva Davi , Ferreira Filho Hélio Raymundo , Ely Santos Beltrão Norma
Published: April 2022

Em 2007, foi promulgada no Brasil a Lei Federal nº 11.445, que dispõe do Plano Nacional de Saneamento Básico, que trouxe consigo princípios fundamentais, como a transparência de informações e a universalização do acesso ao saneamento que tratam, respectivamente, da expansão desses serviços a toda a população e o fornecimento público das informações referentes a todos os serviços de saneamento por meio de sistemas de informações e processos decisórios institucionalizados no qual o Sistema Nacional de Informações Sobre Saneamento (SNIS) é o principal banco de dados. Todavia, passadas quase duas décadas da promulgação dessa Lei, somente 57,05% da população brasileira é abastecida com água potável e 10,49% possui coleta de esgoto; dentre as regiões, o Norte é a que detém os piores índices do país. Essa mesma região vem apresentando baixos índices de notificação ao SNIS sobre a realidade de seus municípios. Desta forma, o presente estudo buscou investigar e analisar a efetividade dos princípios de transparência e universalização dos serviços de abastecimento de água e coleta de esgoto nos municípios que compõem a Região Norte por meio de análises realizadas com dados obtidos do SNIS entre os anos de 2007 a 2018. Os resultados revelaram que, no âmbito da transparência de informações, os municípios vêm apresentando diferentes níveis de efetividade em relação ao abastecimento de água potável e coleta de esgoto sanitário, sendo o primeiro o que detém maior quantitativo de informações disponíveis. Em 2018, 77,55% dos municípios da região informaram seus dados de abastecimento de água, enquanto somente 12,22% informaram para a coleta de esgoto. A menor taxa de informação para água partiu do Estado do Amazonas, com informações de somente 14,52% de seus municípios, enquanto para a coleta de esgoto Roraima não notificou nenhum dado em 2011. A baixa efetividade na transparência de informações sobre os serviços de água e esgoto na Região Norte prejudicou a análise temporal da universalização do acesso, tornando-o possível somente para 298 municípios para o abastecimento de água e 24 municípios para a coleta de esgoto. Foi percebido que, embora muitas cidades apresentassem avanços quanto à cobertura de ambos os serviços, a maioria apresentou decréscimo quanto ao abastecimento de água. Desta forma, a metodologia proposta para essa pesquisa se mostrou satisfatória para observar como se encontra a efetividade de ambos os princípios na Região Norte. Entretanto, para uma melhor análise do cenário da região, torna-se necessário que os municípios fortaleçam os registros de seus sistemas de informações locais sobre saneamento.

Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study was to investigate gender differences in Omani 10th-grade students' perception of their science teachers’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) in both realities and as they desired. Two versions of electronic questionnaires consisting of sixteen main items were designed to achieve the aims of this study. These two versions were administrated to 1445 randomly selected students from various schools at four educational governorates in Oman. For the first version, 46.7% of the participants were female students and 53.3% were male students; whereas, for the second version, 54.7% were female and 45.3% were male. The results showed that Omani male students gave a higher appreciation of “the actual PCK” in most elements compared to female students for “the actual pedagogical knowledge of their teachers” except for two elements which were "fun and simple in their personality" and "inform students' parents about their progress and achievement in science”. This estimation seemed to be unrealistic for male students because it did not reflect their real achievement. The results also demonstrated variation in preferences related to the learning environment between male and female students. Male students preferred a competitive environment, while female students preferred a collaborative and open environment. In the light of current research’s results, some recommendations were proposed such as conducting teacher training programs about supportive learning environments in their classroom and doing furthermore studies related to PCK in the science field.

Published: April 2022

This paper aims to determine the influence of students’ engagement on academic performance. A total of 84 non-food science students enrolled in a food science course were chosen to answer the questionnaire. The overall mean of students’ engagement was found to be 3.63 (SD = .24). Respondents were found to be more engaged in social engagement (x̄ = 3.98, SD = .63), followed by emotional engagement (x̄ = 3.96, SD = .52), behavioural engagement (x̄ = 3.46, SD = .44) and cognitive engagement (x̄ = 2.80, SD = .28). Results showed significant positive relationship between overall students’ engagements with academic performance (r = 0.312; p < 0.001). Two components of students’ engagement, i.e., emotional engagement (r = 0.529**; p < 0.001) and cognitive engagement (r = 0.391; p < 0.001), both showed positive relationship to academic performance. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that emotional domain contributed to 38.6% of variation on students’ performance, hence plays a vital role in students’ academic performance.

Published: April 2022

Entre los agentes quelantes destacan los ácidos hidroxámicos, los cuales han mostrado un rendimiento superior sin las preocupaciones de salud, seguridad y medio ambiente asociadas con los xantatos. En este estudio se evaluó y comparó mediante espectroscopia infrarroja y mediciones de potencial zeta, la adsorción química de dos hidroxamatos, sobre la superficie de la anglesita. Asimismo, se efectuaron mediciones de microflotación para evaluar y comparar su respuesta a la flotación. Finalmente, se propusieron los mecanismos de interacción entre la anglesita con los aniones hidroxamato en solución acuosa, los cuales presentan reacciones globales y ayudan a entender la manera en que reaccionan ambos colectores. En general, las pruebas de microflotación mostraron mayores recuperaciones de anglesita usando AOH. Se sugiere que los aniones benzohidroxamato y octanohidroxamato se adsorben químicamente sobre la anglesita en la mayoría de las condiciones estudiadas, excepto sobre la anglesita acondicionda a pH 5, en donde se encuentran fisisorbidos.

Medical image processing is an important field that directly impacts the health care system. It recognizes disease and also provides information for diagnosis and surgical process. The objectives of medical image compression are to reduce the computational complexity, storage size, and transmission bandwidth. This research has proposed an image compression scheme (MIC-DWT-CNN) based on discrete wavelet transform and convolutional neural networks. Region-growing and otsu-thresholding methods have separated the interested area and non-interested area of the medical image. The DWT has compressed the region of interest, and CNN has compressed the non-interested area in the medical image. The MIC-DWT-CNN scheme has experimented on the images of the medical image dataset using the python platform. The research objective is to achieve better compression efficiency and image quality. The performance of the MIC-DWT-CNN method has been evaluated using Mean square error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Compression Ratio (CR). The existing techniques have been used to compare with the MIC-DWT-CNN method. The MIC-DWT-CNN method has achieved a better compression performance than the existing methods. The MIC-DWT-CNN method has achieved a higher CR, i.e., 25.01, than existing methods. Also, the model has provided the required level of MSE and PSNR values.

Published: April 2022

The XOR gate is often used in cryptography modules. These cells' hardware implementations are subject to power analysis attacks. Correlation power attacks (CPAs) allow an attacker to estimate a highly correlated hypothetical value from the actual hidden value. By masking the input and unmaking the output, the present countermeasure technology randomises the power consumption pattern and increases the number of cells. We proposed the mask XOR gate in this study because they do not require cell unmasking and demonstrate a smaller correlation between power traces and input data.

For masonry walls, autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks are widely utilised. Compression and tension bonding must constantly be calculated for various mortar mixtures to evaluate the strengths of the AAC block-mortar contact a mortar with a polymer modification and conventional cement sand mortar (1:5 or 1:7) with a thickness of 12mm, 17mm, or 22mm are examined for binding strength on an AAC block mortar interface. Before pouring the cement sand mortar into the brickworks, On the block surface, a thin cement slurry covering was placed. A three-fold analysis was used to estimate the shear bond strength for all types of interfaces, while a cross-couples test was used to evaluate the tensile bond strength.The modified polymer mortar (PMM) had a shear bond strength of 0.15 MPa, with block failure of the vigorous failure type, whereas the cement sand mortar had the greatest shear bond strength of 0.14 MPa, with a cement-sand mortar ratio of 1:5 and a thickness of 17 mm. Since the tensile bond strength of all test specimens utilised in this study was evaluated, PMM had the greatest tensile bond strength of 0.22 MPa. Based on observed failure patterns and the strength of the tensile and shear bond of AAC mats, a 1:5 ratio cement sand or modified polymer mortar with a thickness of 17 mm can be selected from all possibilities for AAC brickwork.

The seismic response of a building is dependent on the foundation flexibility, soil properties as well as the interaction between the soil and structure. The frequency and amplitude of the seismic response depends on the soil properties. For simpler calculations, the soil is usually assumed to be rigid which is unrealistic mostly. The buildings are designed on basis of idealized conditions taking fixed base or on Winkler foundations. Until recently, the efforts to ascertain the effect of Soil-Foundation-Structure Interaction (SFSI) on the response of structure have been limited. This study aims at investigating the nature of soil-structure interaction and investigate the effect on the response of building owing to variation in soil stiffness, depth of foundation and building mass ratio using numerical method. The analysis shows that the response of building cluster decreases with increase in soil stiffness. Heterogeneous cluster proved better during earthquake than homogenous cluster. The results indicated that the soil and building properties have major influence on the dynamic response of building cluster and thus may be given due consideration during design and seismic analysis.

A compact UWB with WLAN notch-based four-element CPW fed MIMO/diversity antenna is presented in this paper. Multiple elements facilitate the design to transmit and receive the signal from all directions enhancing the channel capacity and diversity performance. The inverted L-shaped stub attached to the ground enhances the impedance bandwidth (10 dB) and provides the UWB response. Plus and cross-shaped decoupling structure is accomplished to diminish the surface current and enhances the isolation between antenna elements and it is more than 20.2 dB from port-1 to port-4 without affecting the impedance bandwidth and radiation pattern. A complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR) in the radiator is utilized to eliminate the Wi-Fi/WLAN band. The |S11| of UWB MIMO antenna varies from 3.26 GHz to 14 GHz which can be utilized in portable, Radar, Satellite, and wireless applications. The simple decoupling structure is used to correlate and isolate the antenna elements, therefore acceptable ECC and CCL parameters are achieved.

Dense phase pneumatic conveying is a preferable method for transportation of a friable, fragile, abrasive, or agglomerated in nature material through pipeline with comparatively less wear and tear of the system and product as well. A fine particulate material moves as a single entity due to its cohesion in vertical or thin horizontal pipes in Plug-1 flow. A model based on mechanics was created and later modified using experiments for this type of flow. In this work Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) models are used to study the effect of wall friction coefficient and coefficient of wall cohesion on the pressure drop. Three different datasets having 50000, 250000, and 500000 data points were used to test 19, 21, and 25 ANN architectures respectively. The best architecture was found to be t50-t40-r1 architecture with Adamax optimizer, with mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) being close to 0.00402% when tested on the 500000 samples dataset with 25000 test values, 0.0043% when tested on the dataset with 250000 samples and 25000 test values, and 0.0035% on the 50000 samples dataset with 10000 test values. The s20-s20-r1 architecture with Adam optimizer was quick and gave second best results with MAPE being close to 0.009% when tested on the 500000 samples dataset, 0.00988% when tested on the dataset with 250000 samples,and 0.00408% when tested on the 50000 samples dataset. The t40-t40-t40-t40-r1 with Adamax optimizer was slow but gave the third best results with MAPE being close to 0.0166% when tested on the 500000 samples dataset, 0.00496% when tested on the dataset with 250000 samples, and 0.00480% when tested on the 50000 samples dataset.

The goal of this research is to compare the performance of a vapour compression refrigeration system using R-600a to a similar system having R-134a as a refrigerant. Both refrigerants have no potential to deplete the ozone layer. However, because R-134a is an HCF, its global warming potential is rather strong, whereas R-600a's is nearly none. The two refrigerants' desirable properties are compared. R-600a is a better refrigerant for a vapour compression refrigeration system, according to this comparison. The average values of the required parameters are then presented once a number of trials have been completed. To compare the refrigerants, the coefficient of performance, refrigeration effect, Carnot COP, and second law efficiency were calculated. The findings show that R-600a is a superior refrigerant. The system's primary components' exergy destruction has also been calculated. It demonstrates that the compressor has depleted its maximal exergy. R-600a is a strong alternative to R-134a, which is currently utilized in household refrigerators, according to the analysis.
Improved Reliable Deep Face Recognition Method Using Separated Components
Authors: Nadjafi Mohammad
Published: April 2022

Face recognition is used as one of the most successful biometric methods due to the availability of advanced resources such as faster processors and higher memory and providing intelligent methods based on the power of these resources. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges in this area. The face plays an important role in the transmission of emotions and carries the characteristics hidden in it, the identity of individuals. Face recognition has been added to some control devices, security, welfare, criminal identification, and many other areas, which is the main motivation for research in this field. In this paper, the DCSFR method is presented to pay attention to the main features of the face such as eyes, lips, mouth, and nose, which is the main novelty of this work, to get higher accuracy or speed than the previously existing methods. In this approach, instead of using general information in face recognition, facial components such as eyes, nose, mouth are separated into another image, and face classification operations (deep learning by convolution neural network) are performed on separated components. The results show that the computational cost with the proposed method is reduced by about 70%. Also, it can be achieved that CNN does not perform as well as the complete picture of the disassembled components.
Simple Equations for Predicting the Strength of Slender Plain and Composite Columns
Authors: Abdulla Nwzad Abduljabar
Published: April 2022

The behavior of slender columns under axial load is more critical than short columns due to the elastic instability. In the structural design of composite members, determining the column capacity under axial load is essential when considering the length effect. Composite members like concrete-filled uPVC tubes (uPVCC) capture attention when ductility is the primary objective due to its significant elongation at failure 42% compared to less than three percent for super-advanced materials such as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). In the present study, six short and slender concrete-filled uPVC specimens (uPVCC) were tested under axial compression load. For comparison purpose, a similar number of specimens were tested without the plastic tube. Test results show that the plastic tube offers considerable confinement to the concrete and enhances the deformation capacity of the composite member by changing the failure mode from brittle to ductile. The columns without the plastic tube were more influenced by the slenderness ratio, undergoing 43-46% reduction in strength compared with 17-21% for the uPVCC. In order to evaluate the strength of the specimens a database of 128 data, short and slender plain and uPVCC specimens, was assembled and combined with present twelve test results were employed to develop simple equations for predicting the capacity of plain and uPVCC columns. Another thirty-two-test data from published literature were used to check the validity of the strength equations. Based on statistical indexes, the derived equations showed good performance with acceptable accuracy in predicting the strength of slender columns with and without the uPVC tube.
Ehrenmonumente aus der Kolonnadenstraße von Syedra
Authors: Adak Mustafa
Published: April 2022

Gegenstand des Artikels sind sieben offizielle Ehreninschriften, die in den Jahren 2017 und 2018 in der westkilikischen Stadt Syedra aufgenommen wurden. Sie sind auf Trägern ange-bracht, die im Zentrum der terrassenartig angelegten Stadt an der Kolonnadenstraße aufgestellt waren. Die beiden ersten Inschriften gehören zu einer Exedra, auf der Statuen des Ehepaars Demis und Kananis (Name unsicher) sowie ihres Verwandten [Mira]setas standen. Demis hatte als Dekaprotos und Priester des Ares, seine Gattin als Priesterin der (Livia) Augusta Drusilla gedient. Bei dem in Nr. 2 genannten [Mira]setas könnte es sich um einen Bruder des Demis handeln. Ebenfalls in die frühe Kaiserzeit gehört die Ehrung Nr. 3 für den Augustus-Priester Apollonios. Die Ehrung Nr. 4 gilt einem Unbekannten, der als Priester der Aphrodite und der Kaiser sowie als Agoranomos fungiert hatte. Der in Nr. 5 genannte L. Pollius Rufus war itali-scher Herkunft; der Anlass für seine Ehrung durch die Syedrenser bleibt unklar. Die Inschriften Nr. 5–7 stammen von einer weiteren Exedra, auf der die Statuen des Kalliklianos Rufinianos Poteitos, seiner Gattin und seiner Eltern standen. Poteitos war in severischer Zeit einer der füh-renden Bürger Syedras, der aufgrund seiner Verdienste (u.a. Stiftung der «ewigen» Gymnasiarchie) mit dem Titel eines πατὴρ τῆς πόλεως geehrt wurde. Die neue Inschrift nennt seine frühe-ren Ämter (Demiurgie, Archierosyne, Eirenarchie und Agoranomie). Er und seine Frau Menoiti-ane Sebaste, die mit dem Titel μήτηρ τῆς βουλῆς ausgezeichnet wurde, kommen als Inhaber des Heroons in Betracht, das im Zentrum der Stadt unmittelbar westlich der Säulenstraße errichtet wurde.
The Chronology of the Asylia Dossier from Kos Revisited in Light of Some Recent Epigraphic Discoveries
Authors: Coşkun Altay
Published: April 2022

While the Third Syrian War was raging, the Koans deployed substantial diplomatic efforts to have the asylia of their Asklepieion and the panhellenic penteteric games recognized throughout the Mediterranean world. In the 1950s, Günther Klaffenbach and Mortimer Cham-bers presented what was to become the consensus chronology: they saw the theoroi visit sev-eral royal courts and many more Greek poleis largely in summer 242 BCE, before the first games were held at Kos around May 241 BCE. This consensus has now been challenged by Dimitris Bosnakis and Klaus Hallof (Chiron 50, 2020, 287–326), who suggest dating the events one year earlier, based on six recently-found documents. These include a letter of king ‘Zigelas’ (sc. Ziaelas of Bithynia), dated to year 39 of an uncertain era. The present article tries to argue instead that the grant of asylia by several kings likely happened in 243, whereas the campaign in support of the Asklepieia unfolded from spring to autumn 242, before the first Asklepieia were held in 241 BCE. This chronological revision has important ramification for other aspects of 3rd-century BCE history, such as the biography of Antigonos Gonatas (whose basileia began in 283/82 BCE) and the start of the first dynastic era of Bithynia (281 BCE). Moreover, queen Laodike, the author of another new letter, should be identified with the wife of Antiochos Hierax, and further with the author of the anonymous royal letter earlier attributed to Seleukos II. The letter previously assigned to the Bosporan king Spartokos IV may rather be from Mithradates II of Pontos. The epigraphic evidence shows the Koans steadfast in their loy-alty to Ptolemy III Euergetes, whereas the second letters from the courts of Nikomedeia and Sardeis may hint at a gradual shift of Ziaelas and Hierax towards Seleukos II.
