An Optimization Procedure for Overhead Gantry Crane Exposed to Buckling and Yield Criteria
Authors: Ahmid Ali , Le Van N. , Dao Thien M.
Published: September 2017

The current study presents a general optimization procedure that could be used in designing of various structural applications. To validate the performance of the proposed procedure, a real life application of a custom welded I-Beam gantry crane is selected. The crane is composed of three rectangular plates with the same length and different thicknesses and widths welded together by full penetration welds over the span length to form an I-Beam profile. The thicknesses and widths of plates are to be optimized to have the minimum cross section area while respecting yield, buckling, deflection and fatigue criteria. A mathematical procedure based on Timoshenko beam theory and Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA) in combination with the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is presented, and a Mathcad code is implemented to find the optimal I-Beam cross section dimensions. Nine examples are introduced for 8, 12 and 20 m crane span subjected to 10, 20 and 40-toncapacities. It is noticed that the optimized I-section configurations always show narrow and thick lower flange, wider and thinner upper flange and tall and very thin web. Theupper flange local buckling and the lateral buckling limits are achieved for all nine cases, 75% of cases for the web buckling limit, about 33% of cases for the fatigue and yield limits whereas the maximum deflection constraint is never critical. The obtained results were verified using ANSYS Workbench software with a 3D Solid Finite Element model and shown good agreement, which confirms that the proposed procedure is efficient.

Core Ideas

The resistant population was 60‐fold resistant to quizalofop.

Ile‐1781‐Leu mutation in the ACCase gene confers resistance to quizalofop.

Quizalofop resistance is inherited by single, partially dominant nuclear allele.

Smooth barley [Hordeum glaucum (Steud.) Tzvelev] has recently evolved resistance to acetyl coenzyme‐A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors in crop fields of South Australia. Experiments were conducted to determine the inheritance of quizalofop (quizalofop‐p‐ethyl) resistance in a population of smooth barley. Resistant plants (pollen donor) were crossed with susceptible plants (pollen acceptor) to generate an F1 generation, and the F1 hybrid was selfed to produce an F2 generation. It was observed that the resistant population was >60‐fold more resistant to quizalofop as compared with the susceptible population and contained an amino acid change from isoleucine‐to‐leucine at 1781 in the carboxyl‐transferase domain of the ACCase gene. The F1 individual was confirmed to be heterozygous by sequencing the carboxyl‐transferase domain of ACCase, indicating that the inheritance of resistance is nuclear encoded. The F2 dose–response indicated that quizalofop resistance in smooth barley is conferred by a single partially dominant gene. The F2 plants segregated in a 3:1 ratio when treated with 6.2 g quizalofop ha−1, and sequencing of the ACCase gene also revealed that resistance alleles segregated in a 1:2:1 ratio, as expected for single‐gene inheritance. This study confirms that quizalofop resistance in smooth barley from Australia is inherited by a single, partially dominant nuclear allele encoding a mutation in ACCase that confers resistance at the field rate.

Burr medic cover crop supplied 125 kg ha–1 year–1 of fixed N to the vineyard.

Twice the N needs of grapevine annual organs were satisfied by legume cover crop.

Legume cover crop promoted + 25% of total N compared to grass cover crop.

Compared to traditional soil tillage, the establishment of cover crops in Mediterranean vineyards has several advantages such as better soil fertility; however, vigor and N concentration of grapevine [Vitis vinifera (L.)] organs may be affected. A 3‐yr experiment was performed in Sardinia (Italy) to: (i) quantify the N fixation ability by burr medic [Medicago polymorpha (L.)] grown in a vineyard and its potential benefit for grapevines; (ii) compare the effects of different management systems (grass or legume cover crop vs. soil tillage) on grapevines. Total N fixed by burr medic was 125 kg ha−1 yr−1 and it was twice as high as the N contents of grapevine annual organs. Soil tillage promoted higher cluster and cane dry matter (+38% and +31%), compared to cover crop treatments. Legume cover crop induced higher N concentration in leaves and canes. The N content detected in grapevine annual plant growth with the legume cover crop reached 61 kg ha−1 yr−1. According to an indirect 15N dilution approach, the higher 15N enrichments detected in organs of grapevines, did not indicate that legume N was utilized by grapevine. However, lower 15N enrichment was occasionaly detected, indicating 6 and 13% of N derived from legume in clusters and canes, respectively. Compared to grapevines with grass cover, the N contribution from legume cover, estimated by the N‐difference method, induced 24, 24, and 31% of N increase in leaves, clusters, and canes, respectively. The increases corresponded to 10% of legume fixed N.
Nitrogen Fertilizer Complements Breeding in Improving Yield and Quality of Milling Oat
Authors: Yan Weikai , Fregeau‐Reid Judith , Ma Bao‐Luo , Pageau Denis , Vera Cecil
Published: September 2017

A four‐level nitrogen (N) fertilizer study was conducted for nine diverse oat (Avena sativa L.) cultivars at three geographically diverse locations in Canada in 2013 and 2014 to study the effects of N fertilizer on grain yield and important quality parameters of milling oat. Analysis of variance and biplot analysis were used to interpret the multifactor, multitrait data. The findings are: (i) N fertilizer up to 150 kg ha−1 led to simultaneous and statistically significant improvement of grain yield, milling quality (groat content and proportion of undehulled kernels), and compositional quality (β‐glucan, protein, and oil concentrations), despite some N × genotype and N × environment interactions. (ii) β‐Glucan and oil concentrations were much more strongly determined by genotype than by N fertilizer; groat content and proportion of undehulled kernels were slightly more strongly determined by genotype than by N fertilizer; protein was similarly determined by genotype and N fertilizer; and grain yield was much more determined by N fertilizer than by genotype. (iii) Nitrogen fertilizer effectively increased the yield of high‐β‐glucan, low‐yielding cultivars but had a limited (though statistically significant) effect in improving the β‐glucan levels of cultivars that are low in β‐glucan. (iv) Cultivars differed in the extent of response to N fertilizer, so it is necessary to develop cultivar‐specific N management plans for different cultivars. It is proposed to use N fertilizer to improve yield (and, to a lesser extent, quality parameters) to complement breeding prioritizing superior quality (high β‐glucan in particular) and lodging resistance.
Corn Cob Biochar Improves Aggregate Characteristics of a Tropical Sandy Loam
Authors: Amoakwah Emmanuel , Frimpong Kwame Agyei , Arthur Emmanuel
Published: September 2017

Core Ideas

Amount of water‐stable aggregates increased after biochar amendment.

Biochar decreased tensile strength of soil aggregates larger than 4 mm.

Strength of smaller aggregates (<2 mm) increased after biochar application.

Soil friability and workability increased with increasing biochar application rate.

Most tropical soils are highly weathered and are vulnerable to soil erosion because of their poor aggregate characteristics. Soil aggregate characteristics are critical indicators of soil structural stability, and they have the propensity to influence soil physical behavior and functioning. In this study, we investigated the effect of corn cob biochar on the aggregate characteristics of a highly weathered tropical sandy loam. Biochar was incorporated at rates of 10 Mg ha‐1 (BC‐10), 20 Mg ha‐1 (BC‐20), and 20 Mg ha‐1 + triple super phosphate (BC‐20+P) and the stability, strength, and friability of soil aggregates evaluated. Biochar increased soil organic C (SOC) by 28 to 66% and decreased electrical conductivity (EC) relative to the untreated soil. The fraction of water‐stable aggregates was significantly improved by 27 to 53% in biochar treatments compared with the control. Biochar decreased the tensile strength of the large aggregates (4–8 and 8–16 mm), but increased same in the smaller aggregates (1–2 mm) and consequently led to significant improvements in soil friability and workability in the BC‐20 and BC‐20+P treatments. In perspective, incorporation of biochar may offer the potential to arrest the rate of degradation in highly weathered tropical soils and salvage the decline in their physical quality by minimizing the effects of soil erosion.
Macronutrient leaching in a fertilized juvenile hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) plantation cultivated in an agroforestry system in Latvia

Published: September 2017

Leaching of macronutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from soils is of particular interest in the Baltic Sea region because of its adverse effects on water quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate macronutrient leaching in a juvenile hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) plantation cultivated in an agroforestry system and fertilized with biogas production residues, wastewater sludge and wood ash in hemi-boreal climate conditions. Analysis of macronutrient concentrations in the soil solution showed that annual macronutrient leaching decreased over time after the establishment of the plantation and application of fertilizers. Moreover, macronutrient leaching was affected not only by meteorological conditions, but also by the type of fertilizer used. During the five years after establishment of the plantation, nitrate-nitrogen leaching decreased up to 99.6%, phosphate-phosphorus leaching decreased up to 97.1%, but potassium ions leaching decreased up to 76.5%. Nevertheless, juvenile hybrid aspen plantations cultivated in an agroforestry system remain an important part in mitigation of leaching of macronutrients from agricultural lands in the Baltic Sea region.

Published: September 2017

N2O-production was investigated during nitrogen removal using aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology. A pilot sequencing batch reactor (SBR) with AGS achieved an effluent in accordance with national discharge limits, although presented a nitrite accumulation rate of 95.79% with no simultaneous nitrification–denitrification. N2O production was 2.06 mg L−1 during the anoxic phase, with N2O emission during air pulses and the aeration phase of 1.6% of the nitrogen loading rate. Batch tests with AGS from the pilot reactor verified that at the greatest COD/N ratio (1.55), the N2O production (1.08 mgN2O-N L−1) and consumption (up to 0.05 mgN2O-N L−1), resulted in the lowest remaining dissolved N2O (0.03 mgN2O-N L−1), stripping the minimum N2O gas (0.018 mgN2O-N L−1). Conversely, the carbon supply shortage, under low C/N ratios, increased N2O emission (0.040 mgN2O-N L−1), due to incomplete denitrification. High abundance of ammonia-oxidizing and low abundance of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were found, corroborating the fact of partial nitrification. A denitrifying heterotrophic community, represented mainly by Pseudoxanthomonas, was predominant in the AGS. Overall, the AGS showed stable partial nitrification ability representing capital and operating cost savings. The SBR operation flexibility could be advantageous for controlling N2O emissions, and extending the anoxic phase would benefit complete denitrification in cases of low C/N influents.

Medicinal Purposes: Bioactive Metabolites from Marine-derived Organisms
Authors: Li Tingting , Ding Ting , Li Jianrong
Published: September 2017

The environment of marine occupies about 95% biosphere of the world and it can be a critical
source of bioactive compounds for humans to be explored. Special environment such as high salt,
high pressure, low temperature, low nutrition and no light, etc. has made the production of bioactive
substances different from terrestrial organisms. Natural ingredients secreted by marine-derived bacteria,
fungi, actinomycetes, Cyanobacteria and other organisms have been separated as active pharmacophore.
A number of evidences have demonstrated that bioactive ingredients isolated from marine organisms
can be other means to discover novel medicines, since enormous natural compounds from marine
environment were specified to be anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor, cytotoxic, cytostatic,
anti-inflammatory, antiviral agents, etc. Although considerable progress is being made within
the field of chemical synthesis and engineering biosynthesis of bioactive compounds, marine environment
still remains the richest and the most diverse sources for new drugs. This paper reviewed the
natural compounds discovered recently from metabolites of marine organisms, which possess distinct
chemical structures that may form the basis for the synthesis of new drugs to combat resistant pathogens
of human life. With developing sciences and technologies, marine-derived bioactive compounds
are still being found, showing the hope of solving the problems of human survival and sustainable development
of resources and environment.

The Political Geography of Voters and Political Participation: Evidence from Local Election in Suburban Indonesia
Authors: Yandri Pitri
Published: September 2017

The praxis of political issue including voter turnout and political participation does not exist in a vacuum. Therefore, geographical and spatial issues are frequently engaged and even embedded into it. Thus, this article is written with one purpose: to investigate the spatial relationship of voter turnout and their political participation. As stated earlier, the complexity of the political analysis based on geography will take us on a multidimensional approach that includes social, cultural and economy. However, this article starts the discussion from spatial analysis by using a map that illustrates the administrative boundaries of a region, then determining whether one region is adjacent to another. In this case, Moran’s I is used to determine the spatial autocorrelation of voter turnout and political participation. The result indicates that the voter turnout and political participation in one region are adjacent to each other. Possible reasons for the result are discussed in this article.

Published: September 2017

As education area, campus or university is full with various activities which have an impact on the existence of land-use or land-cover. The variation of activities dynamically change the shape of land-use or land-cover within the campus area, thus also create variations in Land Surface Temperature (LST). The LST are impacting the coziness of human activity especially when reaches more than 30 oC. This study used the term Urban Heat Signature (UHS) to explain LST in different land-use or land-cover types. The objective of this study is to examine UHS as an Urban Heat Hazard (UHH) based on Universal Temperature Climate Index (UTCI) and Effective Temperature Index (ETI) in University of Indonesia. Thermal bands of Landsat 8 images (the acquisition year 2013-2015) were used to create LST model. A ground data known as Air Surface Temperature (AST) were used to validate the model. The result showed an increased level of maximum temperature during September-October since 2013 until 2014. The maximum temperature was reduced in October 2014, however it increased again in August 2015. The UTCI showed “moderate” and “strong heat stress”, while EFI showed “uncomfortable” and “very uncomfortable” categories during that period. This research concluded that build up area in UI Campus highest temperature on UI campus based on UHS. Range UHS in Campus UI on 2013 (21.8-31.1oC), 2014 (25.0-36.2oC) and 2015 (24.9-38.2oC).

Geography and Communal Conflict in Indonesia
Authors: Sujarwoto Sujarwoto
Published: September 2017

The determinants of communal conflicts in Indonesia have been widely documented. However, most of them ignore geographical aspects of communal conflicts. This paper examines geographical determinants of communal conflicts in Indonesia. Data comes from the 2008 Village Potential Census (Podes) and official statistics which consist of communal conflict information across all Indonesia’s districts (N districts = 465). Results from spatial dependent model show that communal conflict to be spatially dependent through latent determinants, meaning that communal conflict clusters because of clustering of latent determinants within district. Rather than religious and ethnic heterogeneity, communal conflict is positively associated with poverty, economic inequality, elite capture, and weak capacity of districts to manage fiscal resources.
Kelas Menengah Muslim Baru dan Kontestasi Wacana Pluralisme di Media Sosial
Authors: Ridho Subkhi
Published: September 2017

Artikel ini mengelaborasi narasi tentang tumbuhnya kelas menengah Muslim baru pada masa Reformasi dan sikap mereka terhadap wacana pluralisme di media sosial. Kemunculan kelas menengah Muslim baru merupakan dampak dari stabilnya pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia sejak 2001-2010 dalam bidang fesyen, kosmetik, perbankan, biro travel, budaya populer,  wisata religi. Pada saat bersamaan muncul pemahaman akan adanya program liberalisasi pemikiran Islam di Indonesia khusunya pasca peristiwa 9/11 di Amerika Serikat. Program tersebut dijalankan dalam bentuk pewacanaan mengenai pluralisme agama, sekulerisme, kesetaraan gender. Dalam konteks ini, media sosial menjadi sarana persebaran gagasan oleh kelas menengah Muslim tentang bahaya sekulerisme, pluralisme, dan liberalisme (ideologi Barat). Di sisi lain mereka juga melakukan komodifikasi Islam dengan memperdagangkan fesyen, makanan, penerbitan dengan dalih untuk menyelamatkan generasi Muslim dari pengaruh ideologi Barat itu.

Published: September 2017

Penelitian berusaha mengungkap proses komodifikasi yang terjadi di era masyarakat jejaring dengan berfokus kepada kasus kreator YouTube Indonesia. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif untuk menjelaskan kasus komodifikasi ide di YouTube Indonesia menggunakan teknik observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Perkembangan fungsi YouTube yang tidak hanya sebagai wadah ekspresi diri namun juga menjadi media pemasaran korporasi mempertegas bahwa telah terjadi proses komodifikasi pada proses kreatif kreator yang memanfaatkan kreatifitas, ruang ekspresi diri, dan interaksi antara penonton dan kreator. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterbukaan di era masyarakat jejaring memberikan ruang yang lebih leluasa bagi masyarakat untuk ikut memonopoli sumber daya (dalam konteks hiburan online). Sehingga, tidak hanya berpotensi untuk menghindarkan kreator dari alienasi sebagai dampak negatif dari proses komodifikasi, keterbukaan di era masyarakat jejaring juga menegaskan semakin cairnya posisi dan bentuk eksploitasi pada setiap aktor yang terlibat.

A partir da hipótese que uma cidade pode se tornar paulatinamente mais criativa através da articulação de sua comunidade e soluções governamentais, o presente trabalho visa apontar novas possibilidades e caminhos para o desenvolvimento com base em uma revisão teórico-metodológica de estudos sobre cidades criativas e dois estudos de caso de cidades latino-americanas que atuaram ativamente em suas renovações criativas: Buenos Aires, Argentina e Medellín, Colômbia. Ao final do artigo, buscamos compreender como tais exemplos podem auxiliar à reflexão do caso da cidade de Porto Alegre, capital do Rio Grande do Sul. Com o intuito de propiciar um debate de ideias mais aprofundado, este artigo se deterá em questões mais pragmáticas sobre modelos de planejamento urbano apoiados prioritariamente em atividades culturais, buscando evidenciar o potencial gerador de bem-estar social e econômico da cultura, bem como proporcionar subsídios teórico-práticos que justifiquem a priorização de ações na agenda de políticas públicas direcionadas ao aumento da produção local de bens simbólicos.
BASF: differentiating on service innovation
Authors: Ringelberg Josiah , Downey W. Scott , Spangenberg Brady
Published: September 2017

BASF is one of the leading companies in crop protection products. As with all of their competitors, BASF distributes their products to famers through a retailer in what is known as a three-tiered system. All manufacturers face similar challenges with this distribution system: to create user demand and to ensure product differentiation is conveyed by distributors and retailers. To help bridge the gap between chemical manufacturers and farmers, BASF has created the role of innovation specialist, a person who works to connect with both retailers and farmers. The goal is not only to help farmers increase efficiency and output, but also to grow the industry. BASF faces multiple challenges, including farmer skepticism and conflict with retailers. Despite these challenges, BASF has increased product sales and customer satisfaction, which is attributed to their use of innovation specialists.

Introducción: La deficiencia de vitamina B12 se ha relacionado con el consumo crónico de inhibidores de la bomba de protones (IBP). El objetivo del estudio es determinar los niveles séricos de vitamina B12 en pacientes en tratamiento con un inhibidor de la bomba de protones y describir los niveles de vitamina B12 de acuerdo con el tipo de IBP, el tiempo de uso, la dosis, la edad y el sexo.Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años que acudieron a la consulta externa del  servicio de gastroenterología de la clínica Fundadores, institución de tercer nivel, con diagnóstico de enfermedad gastrointestinal y consumo de IBP. Se  determinaron los niveles de vitamina B12. La información recolectada fue descrita  y analizada mediante técnicas estadísticas convencionales con análisis estratificado según variables.Resultados: Se reclutaron 109 pacientes, el 78,9% de ellos eran mujeres. La edad promedio fue 58,9 años. Los pacientes en tratamiento con IBP durante >3 años tuvieron niveles de vitamina B12 significativamente más bajos comparados con el grupo ≤3 años (p=0,022). No se encontró diferencia estadísticamente significativa de acuerdo al tipo de IBP (p=0,881; p=0,098 y p=0,131 para esomeprazol, omeprazol y lansoprazol respectivamente), la edad (p=0,937) y el sexo (p=0,519).Conclusiones: El consumo de IBP durante >3 años se relaciona con una disminución en los niveles séricos de vitamina B12. La edad, el sexo, el tipo de IBP y la dosis utilizada no son factores independientes relacionados con esta disminución.

Published: September 2017

Actualmente se pueden identificar lesiones del intestino delgado que antes eran inaccesibles. La principal herramienta diagnóstica es la videocápsula endoscópica por el alto valor predictivo negativo. Con los avances en los métodos endoscópicos, la clasificación de sangrado gastrointestinal ha cambiado. Es así como la definición de sangrado oscur,o que antes incluía al originado en intestino delgado, se ha relegado cuando su origen no se puede identificar tras la realización de esofagogastroduodenoscopia, colonoscopia y estudios del tracto digestivo medio, tales como videocápsula endoscópica, enteroscopia de empuje, enteroscopia profunda, enteroscopia intraoperatoria, enterorresonancia, enterotomografía, angiografía y gammagrafía.

La perforación duodenal posterior a la colangiopancreatografía endoscópica (CPRE) es una complicación infrecuente que sucede en un 0.1-0.6% de los casos. El manejo (quirúrgico o no quirúrgico) depende de varios factores. Presentamos el caso de una mujer que sufrió una perforación duodenal pos-CPRE manejada conservadoramente con un stent biliar metálico autoexpandible (SMAE) totalmente recubierto y antibióticos, quien no requirió manejo quirúrgico.

Background/Aim. Fluoride has beneficial effect on dental caries prevention and enables high hardness of enamel. However, fluoride intake above optimal levels can have adverse effects on teeth and bones, especially in young children during the period of intense growth and teeth development. The aim of this study was to assess fluoride intake from water and toothpaste among 3-year-old children in Belgrade, Serbia, in the municipalities of Vracar and Novi Beograd. Methods. A questionnaire for the parents (n = 40) was used to provide information on the water consumption (tap and/or bottled water) and the brand of toothpaste used by children as well as the frequency of tooth brushing and the amount of toothpaste during brushing. Fluoride concentrations in water and toothpaste samples were determined electrochemically by using fluoride-selective electrode. Fluoride intake was estimated through a mathematical model commonly used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Results. The obtained results indicate no significant difference in daily fluoride intake through drinking water and toothpaste in 3-year-old children in Vracar (n = 19) compared to Novi Beograd (n = 21) (p > 0.05). However, all estimated fluoride levels (0.089?0.625 mg/day) are significantly lower than the optimal daily intake level for caries protection (0.7 mg/day for children up to 4 years, FNB-USA National Institute of Medicine) and two to six times lower than tolerable upper fluoride level for the children of same age (1.3 mg/day, FNB-USA National Institute of Medicine). Furthermore, calculated daily fluoride intake per kilogram body weight confirm very low fluoride intake by water and toothpaste in children of investigated municipalities in Belgrade, being significantly below the recommended an adequate intake (0.05 mg/kg/day, EFSA). Conclusion. This preliminary study has shown that daily fluoride intake in 3-year-olds is lower than tolerable upper fluoride level, even not sufficient for the prevention of dental caries.
The Impact of Culture on Internal Control Weaknesses: Evidence from Firms That Cross-List in the U.S.

Published: September 2017

This study addresses the impact of culture on the likelihood of U.S. foreign issuers reporting material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting (MWICs). Specifically, we explore whether Hofstede's (1980, 2001) country-level dimensions of power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity, and long-term orientation explain the likelihood of U.S. foreign issuers reporting internal control deficiencies under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). To assess whether home country guidance on internal control reporting influences U.S. foreign issuers detecting and reporting MWICs, we identify and control for the adoption of internal control guidance in foreign jurisdictions. Our results show that firms from countries with a high power distance and long-term orientation are more likely to report MWICs. In addition, we find that firms from countries that implement internal control guidance are less likely to report MWICs, suggesting that the effectiveness of U.S. foreign issuers' internal control over financial reporting is influenced by their home countries' regulation and oversight. These results are generally robust to a number of additional sensitivity tests.

Comparison of porosity models for fluidized beds
Authors: Flamarz Sherko Ahmed
Published: September 2017

The paper describes a comparison between four numerical models of porosity, for better understanding the influence of porosity on the hydrodynamics (macroscopic and microscopic) behaviors of fluidized beds. The study has been done through an approach based on combine discrete-continuum to achieve the simulations. This approach deals with the modeling of the interactions between the fluid-solid. In which the discrete approach is used for localizing the position and velocity of each individual particles based on Newton’s 2nd law of motion, using a numerical time stepping scheme.  While the continuum approach is based on finite volume method, which is solved the fluid flow equations (Navier-Stokes equations). The geometry of fluidizing column was; column diameter (D=0.096 m) and column height (H=1 m). Glass grains were firstly deposited inside the column, and then subjected to the range of inlet water velocity (0-0.14 m.s-1). The results of simulations are point out those four models of porosity, achieved comparable results for simulating fluidized beds. The simulations results were compared and showed a good agreement and consistency with the experimental data in the literatures. In other hand, the simulations results revealed that the models of porosity, which based on the microscopic scale, are most reliable between the models of porosity.  However the differences between these models must be analyzed and kept in mind in order to select the appropriate porosity model. The results revealed that the porosity is an important parameter which effect on the hydrodynamics behavior of fluidized beds during the fluidization processes.
