Authors: Elsayed Asmaa , Mohamed Mai , Sallam Karam M.
Published: July 2024

Many fields face grave threats because of climate change. Consider agriculture, where variability in the climate has an impact on the soil, crop productivity, and accessibility to water. Moreover, this phenomenon threatens livestock due to the effects on livestock and milk production, biodiversity, livestock illnesses, water availability, feed crop and forage quality, and breeding of animals. Accordingly, the variability of climate threatens the sustainability and resilience of resources. Hence, several adaptation strategies are embraced through global conferences. As well as minimizing greenhouse gas emissions which are a direct result of the agricultural sectors' contributions to greenhouse gases by altering land-use management strategies. Concurrently, livestock farming is responsible for 14.5% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, which exacerbates climate change. Likewise, vehicle exhaust and pollutants. On the other hand, new and cutting-edge technologies are leveraging to mitigate and adapt the climate change through various studies. For instance, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones can play a significant role in combating climate change. This technology offers a cost-effective and efficient way to monitor and track the impacts of climate change, particularly in relation to forest degradation and deforestation. Moreover, drones are also being used in the process of reforestation. Finally, the objective of this study represents in showcases the role of UAVs in climate variability to combat the climate’s obstacles. Hence, the evaluating of UAVs implications in climate change is crucial process. Finally, MCDM techniques are main contributors in this process where stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) and the multi-objective optimization on the basis of ratio analysis (MOORA) are used as techniques of MCDM. These techniques have been bolstered in an ambiguity environment by neutrosophic theory.

A lesão central de células gigantes (LCCG) é um processo patológico incomum, correspondendo a menos de 7% das lesões benignas que acometem o complexo maxilomandibular. Sua terminologia tem sido modificada ao longo dos anos, desde que Jaffe, em 1953, a denominou de granuloma reparativo de células gigantes, para diferenciá-la do tumor de células gigantes dos ossos longos, com o qual divide algumas similaridades histopatológicas. Atualmente é designada como granuloma ou lesão central de células gigantes. Alguns autores a consideram um processo reparativo, resultante de fatores traumáticos, contudo a sua verdadeira natureza permanece ainda desconhecida. Temos como objetivo relatar um caso clínico de Lesão Central de Células Gigantes
Eerste ervaringen met het implementeren van de interventie Meer Aandacht voor Ziekgemelde Leerlingen op het primair onderwijs (MAZL PO)
Authors: Van Keulen Maarten , Vanneste Yvonne
Published: July 2024

Inleiding: De interventie Meer Aandacht voor Ziekgemelde Leerlingen Primair Onderwijs (MAZL PO) is ontwikkeld voor de aanpak van ziekteverzuim onder basisschoolleerlingen. Voorliggend onderzoek beschrijft de eerste ervaringen van onderwijspersoneel met de implementatie van MAZL PO met als doel aandachtspunten voor de invoerstrategie te genereren. 
Methode: Zeven semigestructureerde interviews met onderwijspersoneel van één school en deductieve analyse aan de hand van het Meetinstrument Determinanten van Innovaties. 
Resultaten: Volgens de geïnterviewden sluit MAZL PO goed aan bij het voormalige ziekteverzuimbeleid op school, hun taakopvatting, kennis en vaardigheden. Tegelijkertijd komt ziekteverzuim dat niet opvalt door het verzuimpatroon of het gedrag van de leerling met MAZL PO beter in beeld. MAZL vraagt leerkrachten omvangrijk verzuim explicieter en bewuster te duiden als zorgwekkend of niet. Geïnterviewden blijken niet eenduidig hierin. Ook plaatsen zij vraagtekens bij de toepassing van de MAZL-criteria op alle leerlingen. Prioritering van het thema ziekteverzuim, en draagvlak, binnen de gehele school wordt als randvoorwaardelijk gezien. 
Conclusie: Bij de implementatie van MAZL PO wordt geadviseerd voldoende prioriteit aan MAZL te geven en een breed draagvlak te creëren. Binnen de deelnemende school verrijkte MAZL PO het voormalige verzuimbeleid met meer bewustwording van "verzuim onder de radar" en het explicieter en eenduidiger duiden van ziekteverzuim als zorgwekkend of niet.

Curse or a Blessing: Excessive Use of ChatGPT in Academia
Authors: Sajjad Muhammad
Published: July 2024

This research study provides a comprehensive analysis of excessive use of ChatGPT in academia which started a debate that either the excessive use of ChatGPT in academia is a blessing or a curse. Recently, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT had dramatically enhanced the human and computer interaction by offering the unparalleled accessibility and convenience. The study has measured the potential factors of academia which caused the excessive use of ChatGPT. Instant gratification (IG), academia work overload (AW) and social isolation (SI) has been taken as the predictors of excessive use of ChatGPT in academia. By employing the Uses and Gratification theory, it has been observed that how university students seek the help of AI for gratification, to minimize their work load and to mitigate the impact of social isolation. To escape from hard work, to reduce the life stressor and to gain comfort, students constantly seek for positive reinforcement from their tutors. So, positive reinforcement (PR) has been taken as a mediator in the relationship between IG, AW, SI and excessive use of ChatGPT. Access and technical know-how will strengthen the relationship of IG, AW, SI and PR while lack of technological literacy will lessen the strength of such relationship. Hence, technological literacy (TL) has been taken a moderator for IG, AW, SI and PR. Data has been collected from a homogenous population of business and management students of public and private universities of southern Punjab, Pakistan. A survey has been by conducted by distributing a structured questionnaire to 1100 graduate and undergraduate students. Out of which 678 students responded. At the end 617 useable responses were recorded for analysis. It has been found that IG, AW and SI enhances the use of ChatGPT while PR partially moderates this relationship. Additionally, TL strengths the relationship of IG, AW, SI and PR. The study measured the possible reasons of excessive use of ChatGPT in the academia while the perils of AI is yet to be explored in academia.

Published: July 2024

Vários aspectos determinam o nível de informação sobre aleitamento materno em gestantes, o que, por sua vez, pode afetar a prática adequada da amamentação. Este estudo tem como objetivo estabelecer a relação entre as características demográficas e o conhecimento sobre amamentação entre as gestantes que frequentam o atendimento pré-natal. Um total de 270 participantes foi pesquisado para obter o nível de conhecimento e dados demográficos (paridade, idade, estado civil, residência, nível educacional, aconselhamento recebido e exames pré-natais). Descobriu-se que mais da metade (74,4%) tinha conhecimento inadequado sobre amamentação. As características demográficas das mulheres com conhecimento razoável e ruim eram semelhantes: idade entre 20 e 34 anos, estado civil coabitante ou casado, residência urbana, ensino médio completo e ter recebido aconselhamento. A análise estatística resultou em um valor p do teste de qui-quadrado maior do que o nível de significância (α = 0,05), o que implica a rejeição da hipótese alternativa (H1). Conclui-se que não há relação entre o conhecimento sobre aleitamento materno e os fatores demográficos estudados.

Authors: Wu Shanshan , Daoruang Krisada , Posrithong Arethit
Published: July 2024

China's economic and social development, cultural industry progress, and improved living standards have led to a diversified society for piano professionals and applied talents. This study aimed to analyze the piano teaching mode in higher schools. Explore the existing piano teaching modes at home and abroad, and analyze the characteristics, advantages, and shortcomings of different teaching modes and evaluate the new piano teaching mode and verify its effect of improving students' piano playing application ability. The current study clarified the related implications under the initial dimensions for a follow-up particular analysis by examining the syllabi of piano teaching models from five universities' music programs using the Research & Development (R&D) theoretical framework. The study examines and contrasts relevant research on domestic piano instruction models through a survey of the literature. This stage seeks to categorize and condense the findings of previous research, comprehend the theoretical underpinnings and real-world application of applied talent training models both domestically and internationally, and offer a theoretical framework and point of reference for this investigation. This study employs various research tools, including literature analysis, structured questionnaires, observation forms, and checklists, to collect comprehensive data to address the research questions. It explored that teaching methods: at present, China's higher education piano teaching methods are diverse, emphasis on skills training, ignoring the cultivation of music literacy. In the process of teaching, teachers tend to focus on demonstration, and students have fewer opportunities to practice, which leads to the lack of students' innovative ability. The Curriculum: China's higher education piano teaching is based on professional courses, and a small number of elective courses in the curriculum to assist. As a result, the content of the curriculum is relatively single and lacks the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability. The Evaluation system: China's higher education piano teaching is mainly based on performance examination, which overly emphasizes technical indicators and neglects musical expression and creativity. In addition, the evaluation standard is too uniform, making it difficult to meet students' individual needs.

Published: July 2024

This study aimed to assess natural resource needs in the Khow Noi-Khow Pradoo non-hunting area (KNKPNHA) to understand the importance of using these natural resources. The assessment was based on local resource funds combined with the quality standards set by environmental agencies. The methodology involved collecting data through group interviews with academics and local stakeholders, along with individual interviews with villagers living in communities around KNKPNHA. Semi-structured interviews, check-lists, questionnaires, and the analysis of conceptual framing were used. KNKPNHA covers an area of 13516.8 hectares. The main land cover types in the area are mixed deciduous forest (major) and deciduous forest (minor). The primary occupation of villagers in KNKPNHA is the collection of wild edible plants from the forest, and is the next most important occupation is tourist services. The villagers can be classified into three categories: (1) those who hold land and utilize the forest; (2) distant has influence on understanding of space application regulations and services; and (3) those whose household income is related to their condition. It was found that villagers in KNKPNHA rely on wild edible plants from the forest. However, the results of the study show that perceptions of the importance of collecting fuel and herbal medicine from the forest is decreasing. Future research should investigate resource use behavior, including conservation management, with the participation of locals in the KNKPNHA and help communities to monitor and safeguard resources alongside government personnel.
Sustainable Economic Development in China: Balancing Growth and Environmental Concerns
Authors: Chen Junye
Published: July 2024

Purpose: Over the last three decades, China’s economy has grown remarkably, ranking second in the world among all countries. China’s market-oriented policies, which give priority to economic development, are credited with the country’s economic boom. China’s remarkable economic growth in recent years has had a significant effect on the environmental balance of the nation. Presently, Chinese authorities must address environmental issues without impeding the nation’s progress. Even though China’s economy has expanded quickly since reforms and the opening up, the country’s environmental degradation issue has gotten more serious.Examine China’s current strategies for economic development and their effects on environmental sustainability and economic growth.The dynamic connects between the highlighted factors (renewable consumption of energy, economic expansion, oil rent, and resources of all kinds) and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions—a proxy for environmental sustainability—is examined in this article using China as an example.The findings of an empirical study using every year data from 2018 to 2022 and the auto-regressive distribution lag limits technique point to the existence of a long-run equilibrium link between each of the variables highlighted and greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, since they have a negative impact on greenhouse gas emissions, the usage of renewable energy sources and petroleum rents contribute to ecological sustainability.In conclusion, China’s commitment to sustainability may benefit from some of the remedies this paper’s results suggest. This study demonstrates the useful use of New Structure Economy in a crucial industrial area in China, adding to the body of knowledge on sustainability in the environment and economic development.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this research was to explore the need assessment of early childhood teachers’ competency to strengthen executive functions of private preschool children in northeast region of Thailand. A total of 514 administrators and teachers participated in the survey using multi-stage random sampling. The five scopes of early childhood teachers’ competencies were investigated, utilizing a 52-items questionnaire. The need assessment results indicated that the curriculum and learning management (PNImodified = 0.27) was the most essential scope of competency. This was followed by promoting child development (PNImodified = 0.22), leadership and professional development (PNImodified = 0.16), and classroom management (PNImodified = 0.15). The least capacity scope was ethics, morality and professional ethics (PNImodified = 0.09). The overall results imply that early childhood teachers can develop the competencies by focusing on these five scopes to effectively strengthen the executive functions of young children, thereby supporting their overall cognitive and social-emotional development.
Damages Caused by the Non-Entitlement of the Seller's Income in the Laws of Iran and England
Authors: Alipour Hassan
Published: July 2024

This research examines the concept of seller's warranty in transferring ownership of goods during a sale contract. In Iranian law (Article 362 of the Civil Code), a seller guarantees ownership of the sold item and the right price. However, ambiguity exists regarding compensation for the buyer if the seller lacks ownership. A landmark court decision (consensus decision of 811) allowed the buyer to claim the difference in price due to inflation (in cases of seller ignorance) based on similar goods. This decision considered principles outside the Civil Code and the 2000 General and Revolutionary Law of Civil Affairs. In English law (Sale of Goods Act 1979, Section 12(1)), the seller has a primary obligation to transfer ownership to the buyer. The aim of this research (descriptive-analytical method) is to compare remedies for a seller's wrongful transfer under Iranian law, particularly considering decision 811.The research seeks to establish a clear basis for seller liability in compensating the buyer. This would create a unified and consistent legal system for compensating damages suffered by wronged parties. Ultimately, the research aims to identify the most effective method of compensation that restores the buyer's position to pre-damage conditions. Based on the research findings, determining damages based on the price at the time of sale is found to be a suitable solution for compensating the buyer.

Published: July 2024

Objective: The present study aimed to model the structural equations of marital adjustment with early maladaptive schemas considering the mediating role of marriage styles in men. Methods: The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included married men from the general population in districts 2, 7, and 11 of Tehran in the first quarter of 2022. A total of 300 men were selected as the research sample using purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Marital Adjustment Questionnaire (Busby et al., 1995), Young Schema Questionnaire (Young, 1994), and a researcher-made Marriage Styles Questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson's correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling with SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software. Findings: The results indicated a good fit for the model linking marital adjustment with early maladaptive schemas and marriage styles. The final model fit indices showed a negative and significant relationship between early maladaptive schemas and marital adjustment. Additionally, marriage styles mediated the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and marital adjustment. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that since marriage is one of the significant life decisions, focusing on early maladaptive schemas and pre-marital education can enhance marital adjustment, improve marriage styles, and sustain relationships, thereby increasing the marital quality of life.
Assessing Bee (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Anthophila) Diversity and Floral Preference in Two Habitats in the Iberian Peninsula
Authors: Nerea Gamonal , Concepción Ornosa
Published: July 2024

The plant-pollinator relationship is one of the most investigated biological processes, not only because of its ecological importance (natural and farming ecosystems) but also its economic profitability (farming and biological products). Current losses of bee populations urge the need to assess the state of wild bee biodiversity in environments such as the Sierra de Guadarrama. Two characteristic sites with different plant diversities were compared by collecting bees using net trapping, a thicket, and a grassland. In this way, not only the possible influence of floral wealth on bee abundance was studied, but also the preference of these Hymenoptera towards any type of flower. Phenological patterns and predominant sex were also studied. 331 bee individuals, belonging to 6 families, 19 genera, and 46 species, were recorded in this study. Our results showed that bee diversity depends not only on environmental factors (temperature or plant composition and abundance) but biological as well (plant-pollinators matches or co-occurring species). Moreover, our study sets a starting point for debating the influence of managed bees (Apis mellifera) on wild bee communities. A preference for a small number of plant species (Cistus ladanifer, Echium vulgare, and Lavandula stoechas) was observed. In addition, there was a relationship between the type of corolla and the tongue length. Our study highlights the importance of this area of the Sierra de Guadarrama for wild bee biodiversity. All things considered, it falls on preserving those ecosystems with high floral wealth to favor the wild bee´s presence and its habitat in the foresight of climate change future scenarios.

Published: July 2024

Markov decision process is a dynamic programming algorithm that can be used to solve an optimization problem. It was used in applications like robotics, radar tracking, medical treatments, and decision-making. In the existing literature, the researcher only targets a few applications area of MDP. However, this work surveyed the Markov decision process’s application in various regions for solving optimization problems. In a survey, we compared optimization techniques based on MDP. We performed a comparative analysis of past work of other researchers in the last few years based on a few parameters. These parameters are focused on the proposed problem, the proposed methodology for solving an optimization problem, and the results and outcomes of the optimization technique in solving a specific problem. Reinforcement learning is an emerging machine learning domain based on the Markov decision process. In this work, we conclude that the MDP-based approach is most widely used when deciding on the current state in some environments to move to the next state.

A Educação Física desempenha um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento integral dos alunos, abrangendo aspectos cognitivos, emocionais e sociais. A psicopedagogia contribui significativamente para essa formação, proporcionando suporte necessário. A formação integral do aluno envolve o desenvolvimento harmonioso de suas habilidades e competências, preparando-os para a sociedade. Vygotsky enfatiza a importância das interações sociais e da mediação simbólica no desenvolvimento cognitivo e emocional. A inclusão e a diversidade são princípios fundamentais na Educação Física, conforme os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs). A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) destaca a importância de desenvolver competências socioemocionais para enfrentar desafios complexos da vida. A educação integral visa contemplar as dimensões do ser, promovendo o desenvolvimento cognitivo e emocional. As competências socioemocionais, como empatia, autorregulação e trabalho em equipe, são essenciais para o desenvolvimento completo dos alunos. A BNCC e o Novo Ensino Médio destacam a importância dessas competências, incentivando a formação de jovens críticos e autônomos. O estágio supervisionado foi realizado no CETI Helvídio Nunes, com alunos do ensino médio. As atividades foram planejadas para promover habilidades socioemocionais, utilizando metodologias ativas e estratégias psicopedagógicas. A primeira intervenção trabalhou a empatia, seguida por atividades focadas no autoconhecimento e no relacionamento interpessoal. A última intervenção abordou o autocontrole e o relacionamento interpessoal através de atividades colaborativas. As intervenções visaram promover uma reflexão profunda sobre autoconhecimento e aceitação pessoal, incentivando os alunos a reconhecerem suas qualidades, vulnerabilidades e áreas de melhoria. O estágio proporcionou uma experiência valiosa para as estagiárias, permitindo a aplicação prática dos conhecimentos teóricos sobre habilidades socioemocionais. Os resultados indicam que, mesmo com um período de intervenção curto, as atividades contribuíram significativamente para a formação integral dos alunos. As habilidades socioemocionais são cruciais para o desenvolvimento dos jovens, impactando positivamente seu desempenho escolar, relações interpessoais e bem-estar mental, promovendo um ambiente de respeito, cooperação e apoio mútuo.

DISKURSUS PENDIDIKAN TERPADU: Menjelajahi Perspektif Pesantren tentang Orientasi Pendidikan dan Kedudukan Ilmu
Authors: Aldi Hidayat  , Iwan
Published: July 2024

Penelitian ini akan difokuskan untuk menjelajahi diskursus pendidikan pesantren. Sejak awal pesantren berdiri hingga pada saat ini pesantren terus menggembleng anak didiknya dengan berbagai disiplin ilmu pengetahuan khususnya pada ranah ilmu keagamaan. Sehingga konsekuensinya mampu berkontribusi dan beradaptasi pada kehidupan yang beragam. Berdasarkan itu, pada penelitian ini penulis hendak memilih cara yang berbeda, yaitu beranjak dari realitas empiris pendidikan dan keilmuan di pesantren, kemudian merumuskan kesimpulan teoritis tentang paradigma pesantren. Jika metode pertama berangkat dari kenyataan menuju capaian, maka metode yang digunakan penulis pada saat ini ialah beralih dari kenyataan menuju paradigma pemikiran. Cara kedua ini akan lebih berpusat terhadap landasan pemikiran pesantren, yakni orientasi pendidikan dan perspekti pesantren terkait kedudukan ilmu pengetahuan. Melalui ciri primordial ini, penulis akan mencoba menyingkap kedudukan ilmu, selaku menu utama dalam aktivitas pendidikan. Orientasi pendidikan pesantren secara garis besar, ada empat. Pertama, melestarikan dan menyebarluaskan ajaran Aswaja. Kedua, memprioritaskan perkembangan moral, ketimbang intelektual. Meski demikian, intelektualitas pihak-pihak yang berkecimpung di pesantren tidak perlu diragukan. Ketiga, membentuk lulusan yang cakap dalam membina umat. Keempat, menumbuhkan sifat ekhlas mengabdi dalam relung hati para santri.
Quantitative NMR microscopy of iron transport in methanogenic aggregates

Published: July 2024

Transport of micronutrients (iron, cobalt, nickel, etc.) within biofilms matrixes such as methanogenic granules is of high importance, because these are either essential or toxic for the microorganisms living inside the biofilm. The present study demonstrates quantitative measurements of metal transport inside these biofilms using T1 weighted 3D RARE. It is shown that iron(II)-EDTA diffusion within the granule is independent of direction or the inner structure of the granules. Assuming position dependence of the spin-lattice relaxivity, Fick’s law for diffusion in a sphere can be applied to simulate the diffusion within the methanogenic granules under investigation. A relatively low diffusion coefficient of 2.5*10-11 m2·s-1 was obtained for iron diffusion within the methanogenic granule.
Heroes and highlights in the history of diffusion

The science of diffusion had its beginnings in the nineteenth century, although the blacksmiths and metal artisans of antiquity already, used diffusion phenomena to make such objects as hardened iron swords and gilded bronze wares. Diffusion as a scientific discipline is based on several cornerstones. The most important ones are: (i) The continuum theory of diffusion originating from the work of the German physiologist Adolf Fick, who was inspired by elegant experiments on diffusion in gases and of salt in water performed by the Scotsman Thomas Graham. (ii) The Brownian motion, observed for the first time by the Scotish botanist Robert Brown, was interpreted decades later by the famous German-Jewish physicist Albert Einstein and almost at the same time by the Polish physicist Marian von Smoluchowski. Their theory related the mean square displacement of atoms to the diffusion coefficient. This provided the statistical cornerstone of diffusion and bridged the gap between mechanics and thermodynamics. The Einstein-Smoluchowski relation was verified in tedious experiments by the French Nobel laureate Jean Baptiste Perrin and his coworkers. (iii) Solid-state diffusion was first studied systematically on the example of gold in lead by the British metallurgist Roberts-Austen in 1896. Using a natural radioisotope of lead the Austro-Hungarian Georg von Hevesy and his coworkers performed for the first time studies of self-diffusion in liquid and solid lead around 1920. (iv) The atomistics of diffusion in materials had to wait for the birthday of solid-state physics, heralded by the experiments of the German Nobel laureate Max von Laue. Equally important was the perception of the Russian and German scientists Jakov Frenkel and Walter Schottky, reinforced by the experiments of the American metallurgist Ernest Kirkendall, that point defects play an important role for the properties of crystalline substances, most notably for those controlling diffusion and the many properties that stem from it. (v) The American physicist and twofold Nobel laureate John Bardeen was the first who pointed out the role of correlation in defect-mediated diffusion in solids, an aspect, which was treated in great detail by the American physicist John Manning. (vi) The first systematic studies of grain-boundary diffusion, a transport phenomenon of fundamental as well as technological importance, were initiated by the American materials scientist David Turnbull.
Beyond fick: How best to deal with non-fickian behavior in a fickian spirit

Starting from Fick’s train of thought, which led to the formulation of his law governing diffusion in a solid or liquid medium, we first consider the limits of applicability of this law to solid medium-single penetrant systems. We then take up the question of proper formulation, in combination with simple but physically meaningful modeling, of diffusion behavior deviating from this law, because of (i) concentration dependence (ii) time dependence or (iii) space dependence, of the relevant transport parameters (which include the sorption, no less than the diffusion, coefficient). Examples of application to real systems are offered in each case. We conclude that progress in such studies depends on following Fick’s mode of thinking rather than on adhering to the formalism of his law.
Signals in post-war ruins, five orders of magnitude and pore spaces explored by NMR diffusometry

The 10th Bologna Conference on “Magnetic Resonance in Porous Media” was among the impressive events which, dedicated to the 600th anniversary of Leipzig University in December 2009, attracted colleagues from all over the world. The conference excursion took the participants to Ferropolis, a place north of Leipzig, equipped with impressive remainings of an old mining site, including huge conveyer bridges. Ferropolis also visualizes, in some way, Leipzig as a center of industry and science, with coal mining in its vicinity as one of the sources of industrial development and, hence, as a promoter of scientific progress. With pleasure I followed the invitation to talk on this occasion, by merging a plenary lecture with an after-dinner speech, about Leipzig’s special affection towards the topic of the conference. This contribution is a reproduction of my talk, accompanied by most of the presented slides.
Swelling kinetics of unsaturated polyester and their montmorillonite filled nanocomposite synthesized from glycolyzed PET
Authors: Katoch Sunain , Sharma Vinay , Kundu Patit Paban
Published: July 2024

The solvent resistance properties of the unsaturated polyster and their montmorillonite filled nanocomposites are studied in acetic through equilibrium swelling method at different temperatures. The kinetics of sorption is studied by using the equation of transport phenomena. The values of ‘n’ in solvent transport equation are found to be below ‘0.5’, showing the non-Fickian or pseudo-Fickian transport in the polymer. The dependence of diffusion coefficient on composition and temperature has been studied for all polymeric samples. The diffusion coefficient of unsaturated polyester samples decreases with an increase in unsaturated acid content. The nanocomposite samples show low diffusion coefficient than corresponding pristine polymers. The diffusion coefficient, sorption coefficient and permeation coefficient increase with an increase in temperature for all samples. The crosslink density for neat polymer with varied unsaturated acid content ranges from 2.98 to 3.52 ×105mol/cm3. For the nanocomposite samples it ranges from 3.70 to 5.72 × 105 mol/cm3.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Pulsed Field Gradient study of self-diffusion of water in hydrated cement pastes
Authors: Rodin Victor V. , McDonald Peter J. , Zamani Sahar
Published: July 2024

The results of one- and two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) pulsed field gradient (PFG) diffusometry studies of water in white cement paste with a water-tocement ratio 0.4 and aged from 1 day to 1 year are reported. The study shows that the NMRPFG method is primarily sensitive to the capillary porosity. Data is fit on the basis of a lognormal pore size distribution with pore size dependent relaxation times. The volume mean capillary pore size is 4.2 μm in mature paste, similar to 1 week suggesting that hydrates and gel porosity do not form in the capillary porosity once the latter has been substantially created. No evidence is found of capillary pore anisotropy in cement paste.
