Authors: Amoako George , Omari Paul , Kumi Desmond K. , Agbemabiase George Cudjoe , Asamoah George
Published: December 2021

Purpose: Technology initiatives are now incorporated into a wide range of business domains. The objective of this paper is to explore the possible effects that Artificial intelligence systems have on entrepreneurs’ decision-making, through the mediation of customer preference and industry benchmark. Design/methodology/approach: This is a non-empirical review of the literature and the development of a conceptual model. Searches were conducted in key academic databases, such as Emerald Online Journals, Taylor and Francis Online Journals, JSTOR Online Journals, Elsevier Online Journals, IEEE Xplore, and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) for papers which focused on Artificial intelligence (AI), Entrepreneurial decision-making, Customer preference, Industry benchmarks, and Employee involvement. In total, 25 articles met the predefined criteria and were used. Findings: The study proposes that Artificial intelligence systems can facilitate better decision-making from the entrepreneurial perspective. In addition, the study demonstrates that employees, as stakeholders, can moderate the relationship between Artificial intelligence systems and better decision-making for entrepreneurs with their involvement. Moreover, the study demonstrates that customer preference and industry benchmark can mediate the relationship between Artificial intelligence systems and better entrepreneur decision-making. Research limitations/implications: The study assumes a perfect ICT environment for the smooth operation of Artificial intelligence systems. However, this might not always be the case. The study does not consider the personal disposition of entrepreneurs in terms of ICT usage and adoption. Practical implications: This study proposes that entrepreneurial decision-making is enriched in an environment of Artificial intelligence systems, which is complemented by customer preference, industry benchmark, and employee involvement. This finding provides entrepreneurs with a possible technological tool for better decision-making, highlighting the endless options offered by Artificial intelligence systems. Social Implications: The introduction of AI in the business decision-making process comes with many social issues in relation to the impact machines have on humans and society. This paper suggests how this new technology should be used without destroying society. Originality/value: This conceptual framework serves as a valuable organizational spectrum for entrepreneurial development. In addition, this study makes a valuable contribution to entrepreneurial development through Artificial intelligence systems.
Three-Dimensional Free Vibration Analyses of Preloaded Cracked Plates of Functionally Graded Materials via the MLS-Ritz Method

Published: December 2021

In this study, the moving least squares (MLS)-Ritz method, which involves combining the Ritz method with admissible functions established using the MLS approach, was used to predict the vibration frequencies of cracked functionally graded material (FGM) plates under static loading on the basis of the three-dimensional elasticity theory. Sets of crack functions are proposed to enrich a set of polynomial functions for constructing admissible functions that represent displacement and slope discontinuities across a crack and appropriate stress singularity behaviors near a crack front. These crack functions enhance the Ritz method in terms of its ability to identify a crack in a plate. Convergence studies of frequencies and comparisons with published results were conducted to demonstrate the correctness and accuracy of the proposed solutions. The proposed approach was also employed for accurately determining the frequencies of cantilevered and simply supported side-cracked rectangular FGM plates and cantilevered internally cracked skewed rhombic FGM plates under uniaxial normal traction. Moreover, the effects of the volume fractions of the FGM constituents, crack configurations, and traction magnitudes on the vibration frequencies of cracked FGM plates were investigated.

Published: December 2021

The cellular prion protein (PrPC) is renowned for its infectious conformational isoform PrPSc, capable of templating subsequent conversions of healthy PrPCs and thus triggering the group of incurable diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Besides this mechanism not being fully uncovered, the protein’s physiological role is also elusive. PrPC and its newest, less understood paralog Shadoo are glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins highly expressed in the central nervous system. While they share some attributes and neuroprotective actions, opposing roles have also been reported for the two; however, the amount of data about their exact functions is lacking. Protein–protein interactions and membrane microdomain localizations are key determinants of protein function. Accurate identification of these functions for a membrane protein, however, can become biased due to interactions occurring during sample processing. To avoid such artifacts, we apply a non-detergent-based membrane-fractionation approach to study the prion protein and Shadoo. We show that the two proteins occupy similarly raft and non-raft membrane fractions when expressed in N2a cells and that both proteins pull down the chaperone calnexin in both rafts and non-rafts. These indicate their possible binding to calnexin in both types of membrane domains, which might be a necessary requisite to aid the inherently unstable native conformation during their lifetime.
Influence of Cold Spray Parameters on Bonding Mechanisms: A Review
Authors: Singh Surinder , Raman R. K. Singh , Berndt Christopher C. , Singh Harpreet
Published: December 2021

The cold spray process is governed by the impact of high velocity feedstock particles onto a substrate without melting. Hence, the bulk material properties are retained. However, it is challenging to achieve good adhesion strength. The adhesion strength depends on factors such as the cold spray process parameters, substrate conditions, coating/substrate interactions at the interface and feedstock material properties. This review examines fundamental studies concerning the adhesion mechanisms of cold spray technology and considers the effect of cold spray input parameters such as temperature, stand-off-distance, pressure, process gas, spray angle, and traverse speed of the cold spray torch on the bonding mechanism and adhesion strength. Furthermore, the effects of substrate conditions such as temperature, hardness, roughness and material on the adhesion mechanism are highlighted. The effect of feedstock properties, such as feed rate, shape and size are summarized. Understanding the effect of these parameters is necessary to obtain the optimal input parameters that enable the best interfacial properties for a range of coating/substrate material combinations. It is expected that feedstock of spherical morphology and small particle size (<15 μm) provides optimal interfacial properties when deposited onto a mirror-finished substrate surface using high pressure cold spray. Deep insights into each parameter exposes the uncovered potential of cold spray as an additive manufacturing method.

Published: December 2021

It is important to develop cost-efficient electrocatalysts used in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for widespread applications in fuel cells. Palladium (Pd) is a promising catalyst, due to its more abundant reserves and lower price than platinum (Pt), and doping an earth-abundant 3d-transition metal M into Pd to form Pd–M bimetallic alloys may not only further reduce the use of expensive Pd but also promote the electrocatalytic performance of ORR, owing to the synergistic effect between Pd and M. Here we report a cyanogel-derived synthesis of PdFe alloys with porous nanostructure via a simple coinstantaneous reduction reaction by using K2PdIICl4/K4FeII(CN)6 cyanogel as precursor. The synthesized PdFe alloys possess hydrangea-like morphology and porous nanostructure, which are beneficial to the electrochemical performance in ORR. The onset potential of the porous PdFe nanohydrangeas is determined to be 0.988 V, which is much more positive than that of commercial Pt/C catalyst (0.976 V) and Pd black catalyst (0.964 V). Resulting from the unique structural advantages and synergetic effect between bimetals, the synthesized PdFe nanohydrangeas with porous structure have outstanding electrocatalytic activity and stability for ORR, compared with the commercial Pd black and Pt/C.

The time dynamics of nonequilibrium charge carrier relaxation processes in SI GaAs:EL2 (semi-insulating gallium arsenide compensated with EL2 centers) and HR GaAs:Cr (high-resistive gallium arsenide compensated with chromium) were studied by the optical pump–terahertz probe technique. Charge carrier lifetimes and contributions from various recombination mechanisms were determined at different injection levels using the model, which takes into account the influence of surface and volume Shockley–Read–Hall (SRH) recombination, interband radiative transitions and interband and trap-assisted Auger recombination. It was found that, in most cases for HR GaAs:Cr and SI GaAs:EL2, Auger recombination mechanisms make the largest contribution to the recombination rate of nonequilibrium charge carriers at injection levels above ~(0.5–3)·1018 cm−3, typical of pump–probe experiments. At a lower photogenerated charge carrier concentration, the SRH recombination prevails. The derived charge carrier lifetimes, due to the SRH recombination, are approximately 1.5 and 25 ns in HR GaAs:Cr and SI GaAs:EL2, respectively. These values are closer to but still lower than the values determined by photoluminescence decay or charge collection efficiency measurements at low injection levels. The obtained results indicate the importance of a proper experimental data analysis when applying terahertz time-resolved spectroscopy to the determination of charge carrier lifetimes in semiconductor crystals intended for the fabrication of devices working at lower injection levels than those at measurements by the optical pump–terahertz probe technique. It was found that the charge carrier lifetime in HR GaAs:Cr is lower than that in SI GaAs:EL2 at injection levels > 1016 cm−3.
A Risk Screening of Potential Invasiveness of Alien and Neonative Marine Fishes in the Mediterranean Sea: Implications for Sustainable Management
Authors: Yapici Sercan
Published: December 2021

Biological invasions have posed a major threat to global and regional biodiversity. The Mediterranean Sea, one of the major biodiversity hotspots in the world, has long suffered multiple and frequent invasion events. This paper represents the screening results of the potential invasiveness of 23 introduced marine fish species, which are classified as neonative and alien. To predict the invasiveness potential of species under current and predicted climate conditions, the Aquatic Species Invasiveness Screening Kit (AS-ISK) is applied. Thresholds have been constituted to classify low, medium and high-risk species by receiver operative characteristic curve analysis (ROC). The calibrated basic and climate-change threshold assessment scores used to classify species from low, to medium to high risk were computed between 27.5 and 33.0 respectively. Based on these thresholds, under current climatic conditions, 15 species were high risk, while the remaining species were medium risk, and the Chaetodipterus faber and the Holocentrus adscensionis switched from the medium-risk to the high-risk group under future climatic conditions. The highest score belonged to Fistularia petimba, followed by Siganus fuscescens, Abudefduf spp., Acanthurus monroviae and Lutjanus argentimaculatus. This study focused on the species that have not been assessed for their invasiveness potential, and the results can provide important insights into their sustainable management in the future.
What is it necessary to know about kidney stones?
Authors: Natanson Mark Abramovich
Published: December 2021

Everyone who at least once in his/her life has suffered from a kidney stone, which, at a moment far from perfect, tried to go beyond the kidney and blocked the lumen of the ureter, subsequently recalls this situation as unbearable pain, the repetition of which is feared like the plague. This pain is explained by the stretching of the renal capsule with urine due to its inability to enter the bladder. The preferred localization of stones is the right kidney due to the peculiarities of its anatomical location; this pathology is noted more often in men. Kidney stones can occur at any age, and almost always bring a lot of suffering to patients. The general practitioner should have a general idea of the clinical picture of the manifestations of urolithiasis and the structure of stones, since recommendations in terms of adherence to a diet and an appropriate lifestyle depend on this knowledge.
Chekhov as a writer and as a doctor
Authors: Stepchenkov Roman Petrovich
Published: December 2021

In his short autobiography, Anton Pavlovich wrote that after a great number of years, although he could not remember what exactly had prompted him at one time to choose the profession of a doctor and enter the medical faculty of the university, he knew for sure that subsequently he never regretted his choice. In his letters, he even wrote that he considered literature to be his wife, while medicine was his mistress, and when he got tired of one, he turned his gaze to the other. «Perhaps this is immoral to some extent,» he wrote, «but I never get bored. Why not chase two hares if there were hounds!» Chekhov began his medical practice in the Zvenigorod district of the Moscow province. He was lucky to have as his mentor an outstanding physician P. A. Arkhangelsky, whose fame as a practicing therapist was so great that young doctors from almost all over the country came to him to gain experience. The eminent doctor was very pleased with the success of the talented young man, and even left him solely for the entire hospital as a practicing doctor. Such activity helped Chekhov not only gain invaluable medical experience, but also formed the basis of many of his works, such as «The Runaway», «Village Doctors», «On Official Duty». Anton Chekhov devoted the first half of the day to receiving patients, and in the afternoon, he took part in autopsies, acted as a medical expert, and consulted especially difficult and controversial cases of diseases.

El trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar la concepción de un material didáctico multimedia para el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de temas de Electromagnetismo de la asignatura Física II en las carreras de Ingeniería Mecánica, Ingeniería Civil e Ingeniería Industrial. Contiene el desarrollo de las temáticas con ilustraciones, modelos animados, cuadros resúmenes, ejercicios y aplicaciones que motivan a los estudiantes y permiten el estudio independiente y el uso por parte de los profesores para el desarrollo de actividades docentes. Los materiales están concebidos sobre la base de un soporte didáctico. Además del aporte práctico, en el orden teórico presenta una relación estrecha con el uso de modelos y simulaciones para la comprensión de las leyes, fenómenos y procesos. Se ha comprobado que estos medios incrementan la efectividad del aprendizaje y disminuyen el tiempo presencial del profesor, tomando en cuenta también otras temáticas que los autores han desarrollado en igual soporte desde unos 12 años atrás. Los resultados del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje con el auxilio de estos medios fueron superiores a los esperados en cuanto a calidad, cumplimiento de los objetivos, resultados evaluativos y nivel de satisfacción de los estudiantes. La multimedia ha sido construida usando fundamentalmente Microsoft Power Point y sin grandes pretensiones profesionales, resulta útil para estudiantes y profesores, estimula el uso de las TIC y muestra que es posible incrementar el uso de las computadoras como medio de enseñanza sin grandes conocimientos informáticos.

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como propósito evaluar la factibilidad de un sistema de bajo coste para la estimación del comportamiento del tráfico vehicular por medio de la identificación de dispositivos wifi a bordo de los vehículos. Se pretende que este trabajo tenga proyección a que se pueda implementar a nivel de la ciudad si se logran los resultados esperados, debido a los bajos costos en relación a otros métodos comúnmente empleados en las diferentes ciudades del Ecuador. Para ello se estableció como escenario de evaluación a la Universidad Técnica de Manabí, en la misma se desplegó un sistema de monitorización de entrada y salida de dispositivos móviles mediante WiFi. Este sistema permitió captar información que determinó la posibilidad de utilizar esta técnica para la estimación de la movilidad en el acceso a la universidad. En este trabajo se realizó un conjunto de pruebas, que no pueden considerarse en rigor como concluyentes, sin embargo, en sentido general se aprecia correspondencia en el comportamiento de entradas y salidas de personal de la Universidad Técnica de Manabí.
