ACID GAS ABSORPTION STUDIES IN PACKED COLUMN
Authors: SELVI P.P. , BASKAR R. , NAIR PRAVEEN.S.
Published: May 2020

Carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that results in climatic changes. Reducing CO2 emission for addressing the climatic change concerns is becoming increasingly important as the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere has increased rapidly since the industrial revolution. Many mitigation methods, including CO2 sequestration and novel CO2 utilization, are currently under investigation. Most of these processes require CO2 in a concentrated form. However the CO2 from large sources such as fossil fueled power plants is mixed with nitrogen, water vapor, oxygen and other impurities. The current commercial operations for capturing CO2 from flue gas use a chemical absorption method with Monoethanol Amine (MEA) as the sorbent. The method is expensive and energy intensive. The cost of capturing a ton of CO2 including removing impurities and compressing CO2 to supercritical pressure using existing MEA technology would be very high, and the power output would be significantly reduced by the energy consumption in capturing and compressing CO2. In this work alternative solvent ammonia, is used which can overcome the disadvantages of current technology using amines such as MEA and DEA.

Authors: Joseph Stalin P.Michael , Arjunan T.V. , Sadanandam N.
Published: May 2020

One of the effective ways of increasing the efficiency of flat plate solar collector is to utilize nanofluids which are having high thermal conductivity. In the present study, an attempt is made to investigate the effect of mass flow rates on the performance of flat plate solar collector using CuO/water nanofluid. The experimental set up consists of flat plate solar collector; storage tank and ladder type heat exchanger. The instantaneous efficiency of solar collector is calculated by taking lower volume fraction of 0.01% with average particle size of 30 nm and varying the flow rate from 1 lpm to 3 lpm, as per ASHRAE standard, with and without Triton X-100 surfactant. The experimental results reveal that utilizing the nanofluid with mass flow rate at 1.5 lpm increases the collector efficiency by 19.7%.Â

Authors: M R Anil Kumar , S Shanmukhappa , B E Rangaswamy , M Revanasiddappa
Published: May 2020

Transition metal complexes of Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Mn(II) have been synthesized with the Schiff base ligand 5-Sub-N-(2-mercaptophenyl)salicylideneimine. Elemental analysis of these complexes suggest that these metal ions forms complexes of type ML(H2O)stoichiometry for Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Mn(II). The ligand behaves as tridentate and forms coordinate bonds through O, S and N atoms. Magnetic susceptibility, IR, UV â€“ Visible, Mass and ESR spectral studies suggest that Cu(II), Ni(II) complexes posses square planar geometry, whereas Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Mn(II) complexes posses tetrahedral geometry. The complexes were tested for their antimicrobial activity against the bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis.The Schiff base metal complexes evaluated for their antifungal activity against the fungi A. niger and C. oxysporum. The DNA cleavage studies of Schiff base complexes werestudied using Calf â€“ Thymus DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis method.

Authors: Kumar G. Krishna , Velmurugan C. , Kannan T.
Published: May 2020

Â Laser welding input parameters play a major role in determining the quality of a weld joint. In the nuclear power plants, hybrid structures of nickel and steel alloys offer an advantage in comparison to conventional materials, e.g. in heat exchanger tube areas. Due to demand in the nuclear industry for new material combinations based on commercially available and qualified materials, research into thermal joining of dissimilar materials has been initiated. The use of laser for joining mild steel / nickel with 316L austenitic stainless steel filler material and structures offers some advantages compared with usual thermal joining processes. The main aim is the control of phase formation, which occurs during thermal joining of mild steel to nickel. In this research work microstructure study and optimization of laser welding of mild steel / nickel sheets with wire feeding was done using Central Composite Design(CCD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) are used to build the mathematical model. By means of the laser power, welding speed and pulse width on the tensile strength model was developed and tested by analysis of variance method (ANOVA), the relationship between process parameters and output response and interaction among the process parameters are analyzed and discussed in detail. The scanning electron microscopes (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) technique were used for microstructure study of the bi-metal and tri-metal joints of the weld.

Estrategias para el fortalecimiento de las autoridades auxiliares del municipio en Sinaloa, México
Authors: Portillo Molina Raúl , Rodríguez Valdez Julio César , García Urquidez Daniel
Published: May 2020

En la investigación se analizan los rezagos que padecen las poblaciones que existen al interior de los municipios en el estado de Sinaloa, México, que en buena medida son producto de las prácticas centralistas de gobierno de las autoridades municipales. Se muestran áreas de oportunidad para el diseño de políticas públicas que les otorguen autonomía en decisiones políticas y manejo de recursos en beneficio de los habitantes que legalmente representan. La investigación tiene un enfoque cuantitativo, no experimental, y encaja en la modalidad de exploratoria-descriptiva, utilizando el cuestionario como técnica de recopilación de la información estructurado con preguntas cerradas que se aplicó a 120 habitantes utilizando el muestro aleatorio simple. Se concluye que la asociación entre sindicaturas, como primera estrategia y la fusión como la segunda, serían estrategias innovadoras que podrían fortalecer su capacidad de gestión, además se descarta que la municipalización de sindicaturas sea el mejor camino a seguir. Se propone adicionalmente la creación de un sistema municipal de coordinación fiscal que promueva los principios de justicia y equidad distributiva entre las autoridades auxiliares de los municipios de Sinaloa.

Western Economic Sanctions against Russia: an Opportunity for Closer Eurasian Integration?
Authors: Boucher Damien
Published: May 2020

The policy implemented by the Russian Federation over the past five years has been significantly independent from the contemporary world order’s approach, which led to Russia being relatively isolated from the international community. This situation of isolation is primarily reflected by the sanction regime that is now implemented against Russia.Given that the United States of America (US) and the European Union (EU) represent the world’s most powerful entities in terms of economy and often have the greatest influence on solving international issues, this article analyzes the economic sanctions they have implemented against Russia.

Subdiffusive flow in a composite medium with a communicating (absorbing) interface
Authors: Raghavan Rajagopal , Chen Chih-Cheng
Published: May 2020

Two-dimensional subdiffusion in media separated by a partially communicating interface is considered. Starting with the appropriate Green’s functions, solutions are developed in terms of the Laplace transformation reflecting two circumstances at the interface: situations where there is perfect contact and situations where the interface offers a resistance. Asymptotic solutions are derived; limiting forms of the expressions reduce to known solutions for both classical diffusion and subdiffusion. Specifics are analyzed in depth with reference to flow in porous media with potential applications to the evaluation of the role of subsurface faults and flow in fractured rocks. Characteristics of the derivative responses are documented extensively as they are the linchpin for evaluation of pressure tests. Results given here may be used for evaluation at the Theis (1935; Eos Trans. AGU 2, 519–524) scale along with geological and geophysical properties, and production statistics. Yet a subdiffusive model does not imply a single value for properties. The method presented here may be extended to multiple contiguous media and to subdiffusive transport in many contexts (complex wellbores such as inclined, fractured and horizontal wells, situations such as sequestration, production of geothermal systems, etc.).
Thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis of effect of areal compositional gradient on combustion kinetics of Mexican extra-heavy crude oil
Authors: Avendaño-Salazar Carlos A. , Ramírez-Jaramillo Edgar , de la Cruz José L. Mendoza , Albiter A.
Published: May 2020

Numerous studies have contributed to a better understanding of the in-situ combustion process that have allowed to determine the most suitable conditions to carry out this process in reservoirs from volatile to extra-heavy crude oils. One of the elements that alter the behavior of this process is the compositional gradient. In this work, the effects of areal compositional variations in the in-situ combustion of three Mexican extra-heavy crude oil samples obtained from the same reservoir and extracted under similar production conditions were studied. Physicochemical, thermal, and kinetics analyses (by means of one non-linear method) were carried out to study the areal compositional variations of the extra-heavy crude oil samples, and their effect on the in-situ combustion of this type of crude oil was also analyzed. Physicochemical characterization includes measurements of viscosity, density, water content, and SARA content. Thermal analyses were performed using three heating rates (5 °C/min, 10 °C/min, and 15 °C/min), while kinetic analyses were calculated using Friedman’s method.

Risk of Bias and Study Quality Assessment: Linking Evidence to Practice
Authors: Kamper Steven J.
Published: May 2020

Evidence-based practice requires use of the best available evidence, which implies that some evidence is better than other evidence. Better evidence comes from research findings that are at lower risk of bias. Sorting the good from the bad when it comes to research evidence requires assessment of the methods and results of the study. Study quality and risk of bias assessment tools can help the reader understand how much confidence one should place in the findings of a study. However, the reader must select the right tool for the job, and proper application requires an understanding of the principles that underpin the items in the tool.

The Investigation of Silica Nanoparticles-CO2 Foam Stability for Enhancing Oil Recovery Purpose
Authors: Maurich David
Published: May 2020

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas injection is one of the most successful Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods. But the main problem that occurs in immiscible CO2 injection is the poor volumetric sweep efficiency which causes large quantities of the oil to be retained in pore spaces of reservoir. Although this problem can be improved through the injection of surfactant with CO2 gas where the surfactant will stabilize CO2 foam, this method still has some weaknesses due to foam size issue, surfactants compatibility problems with rocks and reservoir fluids and are less effective at high brine salinity and reservoir temperature such as typical oil reservoirs in Indonesia. This research aims to examine the stability of the foams/emulsions, compatibility and phase behavior of suspensions generated by hydrophobic silica nanoparticles on various salinity of formation water as well as to determine its effect on the mobility ratio parameter, which correlate indirectly with macroscopic sweep efficiency and oil recovery factor. This research utilizes density, static foam, and viscosity test which was carried out on various concentrations of silica nanoparticles, brine salinity and phase volume ratio to obtain a stable foam/emulsion design. The results showed that silica nanoparticles can increase the viscosity of displacing fluid by generating emulsions or foams so that it can reduce the mobility ratio toward favorable mobility, while the level of stability of the emulsion or foam of the silica nanoparticles suspension is strongly influenced by concentration, salinity and phase volume ratio. The high resistance factor of the emulsions/foams generated by silica nanoparticles will promote better potential of these particles in producing more oil.
The right to take collective action in EU law based on the European Pillar of Social Rights and the recent case law of the CJEU
Authors: Zaccaria Márton Leó
Published: May 2020

This paper is built around the workers’ fundamental right to take collective action and collective bargaining. Although, this right is firmly embedded in the majority of labour law systems in the social policy (meaning labour law, too) of the European Union, it is worth analysing it separately with an independent meaning. We can approach this right from the fundamental rights, the fundamental treaties or from certain directives, so we can find several questions that are difficult to answer properly. These problems are mostly catalysed by the necessary collision between the need for socially motivated legal protection and the fundamental economic freedoms. In my research, I analyse this right – along with some other connected ones – with the help of the recent case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Pillar of Social Rights because the latter highlights the holistic approach in the current reforms of EU social policy.

Published: May 2020

These three books consider the nature and evolutionary context of the individual and collective behavior of modern humans. Moffett’s The Human Swarm and Christakis’ Blue­print focus on the “big picture.” What, if anything, is distinctive about the ways groups of modern humans behave? What do modern human societies have in common that distin­guishes them from aggregations of non-human organisms? Wrangham’s The Goodness Par­adox focuses more narrowly on aggression, and the enigma that modern humans seem to be individually relatively docile, but collectively capable of planning and executing highly aggressive activities. I was intrigued and educated by all three books.

Fermentable carbohydrate intake and food avoidance behaviour in elderly patients with irritable bowel syndrome: A case report
Authors: Arumugam Mohan , Jimson Simon Jane , Ismail Ain Syahidah , Kamarulzaman Nur Amira Syahhirah , Wong Zhiqin , Krishnasamy Shanthi
Published: May 2020

Background: Fermentable carbohydrates or FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) are short-chained, poorly absorbed carbohydrates which trigger gastrointestinal symptoms causing pain, bloating, distension, diarrhea, and constipation in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients. This debilitating condition has an impact on the quality of life of patients. In addition, due to lack of dietary intervention, it can result in food restriction to alleviate symptoms as patients avoid a wide variety of food and beverages. Objective: To compare FODMAP and nutrient intake, food avoidance behavior and quality of life in 2 long standing patients with IBS. Methods: Patients were selected on the basis of being diagnosed with IBS by a gastroenterologist. A 24-hour dietary recall with multiple pass method was used to assess intake. FODMAP intake was determined using published data. Symptom severity and quality of life was measured using a validated questionnaire. Meanwhile, food avoidance was assessed using a dietary trigger piloted questionnaire. Results: Two female Chinese patients with severe gastrointestinal symptoms were selected for this case series. Patient 1 was a 75-year-old female presenting with constipation-predominant IBS and patient 2 was a 61-year-old presenting with diarrhea-predominant IBS. Patient 1 had a higher energy intake: 2198 kcal, and FODMAP intake 10.6g/d, compared to patient 2 with an energy and FODMAP intake of 1800 kcal and 3.6g/d respectively. Both patients avoided a wide of range of food groups including cereals and grains, animal products, dairy and spicy foods. They also reported reduced scores for quality of life. Conclusion: Both patients had low intake of calcium as a result of food avoidance. This highlights the importance of appropriate and timely dietary intervention to this group of patients, to promote improved symptom management without compromising nutrient intake.

Authors: Penman Joy , C Lear Glenna
Published: May 2020

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the learning that happens in assuming a supervisee’s role during the postgraduate study.

Background: The facilitators and barriers students encountered while pursuing postgraduate studies, strategies to achieve success in postgraduate studies, and how to decrease attrition rates of students, have been sufficiently explored in literature. However, there is little written about the personal and professional impact on students when they are being supervised to complete their postgraduate studies.

Methodology: Autoethnographic method of deep reflection was used to examine the learning that transpired from the supervisee’s perspective. Two lecturers (a Senior Lecturer in Nursing and an Aboriginal Tutor) focused on their postgraduate journeys as supervisees, respectively, with over 30 years of study experience between them, in Australia and abroad.

Contribution: Future postgraduate students, researchers, would-be supervisors and experienced supervisors could learn from the reflections of the authors’ postgraduate experiences.

Findings: Four themes surfaced, and these were Eureka moments, Critical friend(s), Supervisory relationship, and Transformative learning. The authors highlighted the significance of a supervisory relationship which is key to negotiating the journey with the supervisor. Essential for these students also were insights on finding the path as well as the destination and the transformative aspects that happened as a necessary part of the journey.

Conclusion. The postgraduate journey has taught them many lessons, the most profound of which was the change in perspective and attitude in the process of being and becoming. Personal and professional transformative learning did occur. At its deepest level, the authors’ reflections resulted in self-actualization and a rediscovery of their more authentic selves.

Recommendations for Practitioners: This article highlights the importance of the supervisory relationship that must be negotiated to ensure the success of the candidate. Reflections of the transformation are recommended to support the students further.

Recommendation for Researchers: Quality supervision can make a significant influence on the progress of students. Further research on the supervisory relationship is recommended.

Impact on Society: The support in terms of supervision to ensure postgraduate students’ success is essential. Postgraduate students contribute to the human, social, professional, intellectual, and economic capital of universities and nations globally.

Future Research: Further reflections of the transformative learning will advance the understanding of the personal and professional changes that occur with postgraduate supervision.

FORMALDEHYDE SOLUTIONS
Authors: Silaev Michael M.
Published: May 2020

A mechanism of the initiated nonbranched-chain process of forming 1,2-alkanediols and carbonyl compounds in alcohol–formaldehyde systems is suggested. The quasi-steady-state treatment is used to obtain kinetic equations that can describe the nonmonotonic (with a maximum) dependences of the formation rates of the products on the concentration of free unsolvated formaldehyde. The experimental concentrations of the free unsolvated form of formaldehyde are given at the different temperatures, solvent permittivity, and total concentrations of formaldehyde in water and alcohols. An empirical equation for calculating the free formaldehyde concentration in alcohol–formaldehyde (including water/ethanediol–formaldehyde) systems at various temperatures and total formaldehyde concentrations and an equation for evaluating solvent concentrations in these systems were derived. The experimental dependence of the ethanediol radiation-chemical yields on formaldehyde concentration in γ-radiolysis of methanol–formaldehyde system at 373–473 K is shown.

“Aadun” is a Nigerian traditional maize based snack, but now poorly accepted by todays snack consumers despites its quality. To increase acceptability sensory panelist using 5 points ranking scores were asked to rank “Aadun” processed using laboratory equipment and  traditional processed commercial samples purchased from Ibadan and Abeokuta with packaging materials of Leaf (Taumatoccous Danielle), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Aluminum foil (ALF) and Polystyrene plastic cup (PSC).  Laboratory “aadun” packaged in different materials and the commercial samples packaged in LDPE were stored under refrigeration (4-5 0C; RH 74.85%), ambient (25-30 0C; RH 66.7%) and sunlight (30-44 0C; RH 65.81%) conditions for 6 months and at 2 weeks intervals off flavor (OF) was determined by 10 trained sensory panelists and growth of microorganism by total plate count (TPC) method. Shelf life was estimated by plotting hazard (TPC) against time on linear and quadratic regression curve and safety cut off value of 105cfu/g as limit. Results showed the highly ranked “Aadun” was Laboratory sample followed by Ibadan and Abeokuta samples and PSC ranked highest followed by ALF, HDPE, LDPE and Leaf. A longer lag period before OF and TPC increased was under Refrigeration, PSC, LDPE Laboratory and Abeokuta samples but, shorter under ambient, sunlight, leaf and LDPE Ibadan sample. Longer shelf life period was under refrigeration, PSC (42.4 weeks), LDPE laboratory (40.1 weeks), LDPE Abeokuta (33.2 weeks but shorter under ambient, sunlight, leaf (19 weeks) and LDPE Ibadan (30.5 weeks). This study shows that if modern technology and PSC packing plastic materials and storing under refrigeration conditions will improve acceptability, long storage stability and shelf life thereby, increasing production and the economy of the local women processor in Nigeria.

Motivation/Background: Cardiorespiratory interaction is known to cause a peak in the heart rate variability (HRV) spectrum, characterized as sinus arrhythmia. This study evaluates standard indexes of HRV spectral analysis with and without the influence of respiratory signal in elderly subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, N=14) and healthy lungs (N=14). In the last, all subjects controlled their breathing at 0.1 Hz (CGL) and breathed freely (CG). Method: Anthropometrical characteristics were similar, with increased heart rate in COPD (75±11.1 vs. 62±8.3 bpm). Cardiac and respiratory signals in supine position were recorded with a portable data acquisition system during 5 min and processed in frequency domain. To remove the influence of the respiration in HRV, a 2th order Butterworth band-stop filter, was applied to the RRi signal. Results: In CGL main respiratory frequency was significantly lower (ANOVA with post-hoc Turkey's test, α = 0.05) and with the influence of respiratory signal differed from without the influence of respiratory signal to HRV spectral analysis (Student t-test, α = 0.05) with increased low frequency contribution (51.0±11.4 vs. 42.0±11.6, respectively). PG and CG showed no significant differences in with or without influence of respiratory signal to HRV spectral analysis. Conclusions: The results of the present study have showed a low frequency respiration at 0.1 Hz provided an increase in low frequency and decrease in high frequency power spectral analysis, showing an error in the HRV analysis.

The purpose of this article is to bring the basic ideas of O. D. Jefimenko to the physical and mathematical community about the physical explanation of some theoretical conclusions of the Special Theory of Relativity. In this paper, we analyze the reality of length contraction and its concrete effect on electromagnetic interactions. We analyze some relativistic “paradoxes” for the concrete material objects and real physical forces, rather than from abstract viewpoint.
