Authors: Subedi Kusum , Dhungel Abhitosh
Published: February 2025

The Timur raksi is an indigenous distilled alcoholic beverage made in Rolpa, Nepal. The study aimed to formulate timur raksi in the lab using various timur ratios, analyze chemical changes (pH, TSS, reducing sugar) during fermentation, evaluate chemical and sensory attributes of the final product, and assess yield and cost. The survey collected sample R1 from Rolpa. Rice and manapu were used for the first fermentation, while mana and jaggery were used for the second. Raksi samples R2, R3, and R4 were prepared using 50g, 75g, and 100g of timur, respectively. The proximate analyses of rice, jaggery, and timur were done. Reducing sugar, pH, and TSS were measured every 7 days throughout fermentation. The ethanol concentration of five distillate cycles (1 pani, 2 pani, 3 pani, 4 pani, and 5 pani) was determined. Total acidity was analyzed for final product. Propyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, isobutanol, acetal, fusel oil, acytol, linalol, ethyl palmitate, and D-limonene were the components discovered in samples R1, R2, R3, and R4 by GC-MS. The total yields of samples R2, R3, and R4 were 88.49%, 88%, and 87.53%, respectively. It can be concluded that on the basis of sensory evaluation, R3 was found to be the most preferable. The cost of the best product (R3) obtained was reasonably priced compared to market whiskey.

Published: February 2025

Micronutrient deficiencies are a significant global health concern, especially in developing countries like Nepal. This review explores the effectiveness, challenges, and strategies of food fortification in combating these deficiencies. Drawing from diverse sources, including government reports, academic literature, and international organizations, we analyze the types of fortification, their implementation, and their impact on public health. This review highlights significant improvements in health outcomes through food fortification initiatives, such as a 32% reduction in anemia and a 58% decrease in vitamin A deficiency, as evidenced by global studies. In Nepal, fortification efforts, particularly salt iodization, have successfully reduced iodine deficiency disorders. However, challenges remain in ensuring coverage, quality control, public awareness, and stakeholder collaboration. Key considerations such as monitoring, quality control, consumer acceptance, and sustainability are examined. The review underscores the importance of fortified foods in improving nutrition and highlights successful interventions. The review provides detailed recommendations for future initiatives, emphasizing the need for enhanced multi-sectoral cooperation, rigorous quality assurance protocols, and comprehensive public education campaigns to ensure the long-term success and sustainability of fortification programs

Published: February 2025

Anaemia is a global public health problem and is the common cause of morbidity and mortality in adolescent girls. World Health Organization recommends weekly iron-folic acid supplementation to reduce anaemia in adolescent girls. The significance of this work is to find out knowledge and adherence to weekly iron and folic acid supplementation among adolescent girls of selected government schools. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used to conduct the study among 324 adolescent girls studying in grades eight to ten of selected government schools in Kathmandu. Probability, cluster sampling technique was used, and data was collected by using a structured self-administered questionnaire and analyzed by using descriptive statistics as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation and inferential statistics as chi-square test. The study reveals that less than half of the respondents (47.8%) had adequate adherence to weekly iron and folic acid supplementation among adolescent girls. Similarly, less than half of the respondents (44.1%) had an adequate level of knowledge on anaemia. There was a statistically significant association between adherence status to weekly iron and folic acid supplementation and both mothers (p=0.004) and fathers’ (p=0.002) educational status and mothers’ occupation (p=0.024) respectively which shows that the adherence status to weekly iron and folic acid supplementation and level of knowledge on anaemia is inadequate. Thus, a more awareness programme on anaemia and the importance of iron and folic acid supplementation, better parental involvement in education sessions and close monitoring by concerned authorities is needed.

Authors: Upadhyaya Bala Ram , Pradhan Ananta Man Singh , Kaini Santosh
Published: February 2025

Springs serve as lifelines for rural communities in the Himalayan region, providing essential domestic water supplies and irrigation purposes. The depletion of streams and spring sources poses a significant environmental menace, threatening water access for these communities. To ensure sustainable access to groundwater for local communities, a thorough assessment of Himalayan hydrogeology is essential. A map of groundwater potential has been prepared using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), employing the Conventional Frequency Ratio (FR) and Modified Frequency Ratio (MFR) methods and evaluated the predictive performance of these in the Shivapuri Rural Municipality, Central Nepal. The MFR method excels in classifying groundwater potential areas with an AUC of 0.80, indicating an 80% success rate, compared to the FR method's AUC of 0.65 (65% success). Both methods share an AUC of 0.60 for the prediction rate curve, implying similar performance in outlining potential spring zones. However, the MFR method better distinguishes between high and low potential zones. This study provides critical information that can be used to support decision-making processes for the effective management and utilization of groundwater resources in the region.

Authors: Start Amanda R. , Novosel-Lingat John Eric M. , Allard Yvonne S. , Adler Amy B.
Published: February 2025

LAY SUMMARY

Similar to civilian health care workers, military health care workers may experience burnout and a loss of compassion for their patients because of factors related to the profession. As a result, military health care workers may underperform in their jobs, resulting in lower-quality care, more clinical errors, and early departure from the profession. Results of this study suggest that military health care workers who have productive beliefs about self-care are more likely to practise self-care, which can protect them from experiencing negative side effects related to their work, such as burnout. Leaders who promote effective self-care practices can also help reduce such negative side effects. Therefore, interventions that target individual self-care attitudes and health-promoting leadership can be designed to support a productive self-care mindset and a professional climate that optimizes health care worker well-being in a military setting.

Published: February 2025

One of the pathways for achieving the goal of utilizing the available large quantities of indigenous coal, at the same time reducing emissions, is by increasing the efficiency of power plants by utilizing much higher steam conditions. The US Ultra-Supercritical Steam (USC) Project funded by US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Ohio Coal Development Office (OCDO) promises to increase the efficiency of pulverized coal-fired power plants by as much as nine percentage points, with an associated reduction of CO2 emissions by about 22% compared to current subcritical steam power plants, by increasing the operating temperature and pressure to 760°C (1400°F) and 35 MPa (5000 psi), respectively. Preliminary analysis has shown such a plant to be economically viable. The current project primarily focuses on developing the materials technology needed to achieve these conditions in the boiler. The scope of the materials evaluation includes mechanical properties, steam-side oxidation and fireside corrosion studies, weldability and fabricability evaluations, and review of applicable design codes and standards. These evaluations are nearly completed, and have provided the confidence that currently-available materials can meet the challenge. While this paper deals with boiler materials, parallel work on turbine materials is also in progress. These results are not presented here in the interest of brevity.
Feasibility of MARBN Steel for Application to Thick Section Boiler Components in USC Power Plant at 650 °C
Authors: Abe F. , Tabuchi M. , Semba H. , Igarashi M. , Yoshizawa M. , Komai N. , Fujita A.
Published: February 2025

A 9Cr-3W-3Co-VNbBN steel, designated MARBN (MARtensitic 9Cr steel strengthened by Boron and Nitrides), has been alloy-designed and subjected to long-term creep and oxidation tests for application to thick section boiler components in USC power plant at 650oC. The stabilization of lath martensitic microstructure in the vicinity of prior austenite grain boundaries (PAGBs) is essential for the improvement of long-term creep strength. This can be achieved by the combined addition of 140ppm boron and 80ppm nitrogen without any formation of boron nitrides during normalizing at high temperature. The addition of small amount of boron reduces the rate of Ostwald ripening of M23C6 carbides in the vicinity of PAGBs during creep, resulting in stabilization of martensitic microstructure. The stabilization of martensitic microstructure retards the onset of acceleration creep, resulting in a decrease in minimum creep rate and an increase in creep life. The addition of small amount of nitrogen causes the precipitation of fine MX, which further decreases the creep rates in the transient region. The addition of boron also suppresses the Type IV creep-fracture in welded joints by suppressing grain refinement in heat affected zone. The formation of protective Cr2O3 scale is achieved on the surface of 9Cr steel by several methods, such as pre-oxidation treatment in Ar gas, Cr shot-peening and coating of thin layer of Ni-Cr alloy, which significantly improves the oxidation resistance of 9Cr steel in steam at 650oC. Production of a large diameter and thick section pipe and also fabrication of welds of the pipe have successfully been performed from a 3 ton ingot of MARBN.

Alloy 33: Update on Field Experience in Water Walls and Superheaters
Authors: Paul Larry
Published: February 2025

Alloy 33 is a weld overlay material that has generated a lot of interest in the fossil boiler industry. The high chromium content of Alloy 33 has been shown to provide excellent corrosion protection in both waterwall and superheater/reheater tube applications. For waterwall applications, the corrosion resistance has been demonstrated in both laboratory and field tests conducted over the last 5 years. In addition to corrosion resistance, the Alloy 33 has also shown that it is also resistant to cracking (although no material is 100% immune). In the superheater/reheater, the use of spiral clad weld overlay tubes is able to provide resistance to excellent coal ash corrosion. Laboratory and field tests have shown Alloy 33 to have among the best corrosion resistance of all materials studied. The application of Alloy 33 is also easier than other more highly alloyed materials (such as FM-72) and is less expensive. As a result of these favorable experiences, Alloy 33 is now being used commercially to weld overlay both waterwall and superheater/reheater tubes on fossil boilers.

Nimonic 80A, a Ni-base superalloy mainly strengthened by Al and Ti to form γ'-Ni3 (Al, Ti) precipitation in Ni-Cr solid solution strengthened austenite matrix, has been used in different industries for more than half century (especially for aero-engine application). In consideration of high strengths and corrosion resistance both Shanghai Turbine Company (STC) has adopted Nimonic 80A as bucket material for ultra-super-critical (USC) turbines with the steam parameters of 600°C, 25MPa. First series of two 1000MW USC steam turbines made by Shanghai Turbine Co. were already put in service on the end of 2006. Large amount of Nimonic 80A with different sizes are produced in Special Steel Branch of BAOSTEEL, Shanghai. Vacuum induction melting and Ar protected atmosphere electro-slag remelting (VIM+PESR) process has been selected for premium quality high strength Nimonic 80A. For higher mechanical properties the alloying element adjustment, optimization of hot deformation and heat treatment followed by detail structure characterization have been done in this paper. The Chinese premium quality high strength Nimonic 80A can fully fulfill the USC turbine bucket requirements.
Mechanical Properties and Manufacturability of Ni-Fe Base Superalloy (FENIX-700) for A-USC Steam Turbine Rotor Large Forgings
Authors: Imano Shinya , Sato Jun , Kajikawa Koji , Takahashi Tatsuya
Published: February 2025

To develop 10-ton class forgings with adequate long-term strength and without segregation defects for A-USC steam turbine rotors, researchers modified the chemical composition of Alloy 706 to improve its microstructure stability and segregation properties. The modified Alloy, named FENIX-700, is a γ' phase strengthened alloy without a γ" phase, and its microstructure stability is superior to Alloy 706 at 700°C, as demonstrated by short-term aging tests and phase stability calculations using the CALPHAD method. A trial disk 1-ton class forging of FENIX-700 was manufactured from a double-melted ingot, with tensile and creep strength of the forging equivalent to that of 10-kg class forgings, indicating a successful trial. Long-duration creep tests were performed using 10-kg class forgings, revealing an approximate 105-hour creep strength at 700°C higher than 100 MPa. Manufacturability tests showed that FENIX-700 performs better than Alloy 706, as evidenced by segregation tests using a horizontal directional solidification furnace and hot workability tests. Microstructure observation and tensile tests on 10,000-hour aged specimens (at temperatures of 650, 700, and 750°C) revealed degradation of tensile strength and yield stress due to coarsening of the γ' phase, but also showed enhanced ductility through aging. The microstructure stability of FENIX-700 at 700°C was confirmed as excellent through microstructure observation of the 10,000-hour aged sample and supporting thermodynamic considerations.
Creep Strength of High Cr Ferritic Steels Designed Using Neural Networks and Phase Stability Calculations
Authors: Masuyama F. , Bhadeshia H.K.D.H.
Published: February 2025

The highest creep rupture strength of recent 9-12% Cr steels which have seen practical application is about 130 MPa at 600°C and 100,000 h. While the 630°C goal may be realized, much more work is needed to achieve steam temperatures up to 650°C. Conventional alloy development techniques can be slow and it is possible that mathematical models can define the most economical path forward, perhaps leading to novel ideas. A combination of mechanical property models based on neural networks, and phase stability calculations relying on thermodynamics, has been used to propose new alloys, and the predictions from this work were published some time ago. In the present work we present results showing how the proposed alloys have performed in practice, considering long term creep data and microstructural observations. Comparisons are also made with existing enhanced ferritic steels such as Grade 92 and other advanced 9-12%Cr steels recently reported.

Improvement of Creep Rupture Strength of 9Cr1MoNbV Welded Joints by Post Weld Normalizing and Tempering
Authors: Sato T. , Tamura K. , Mitsuhata K. , Ikura R.
Published: February 2025

Recent years high strength 9Cr1MoNbV steel developed in USA has been major material in boiler high temperature components with the increase of steam parameters of coal fired thermal power plants. As the microstructure of this steel is tempered martensite, it is known that the softening occurs in HAZ of the weldment. In the creep rupture test of these welded joints the rupture strength is lower than that of the parent metal, and sometimes this reduction of strength is caused by TypelV cracking. To develop an effective method to improve the rupture strength of welded joint, advanced welding procedure and normalizing-tempering heat treatment after weld was proposed. 9Cr1MoNbV plates with thickness of 40-50mm were welded by 10mm width automatic narrow gap MAG welding procedure using specially modified welding material. After normalizing at 1,050°C and tempering at 780°C, material properties of the welded joints were examined. Microstructure of HAZ was improved as before weld, and rupture strength of the welded joints was equal to that of the parent metal. The long term rupture strength of the welded joints was confirmed in the test exceeded 30,000hours. This welding procedure has been applied to seam weld of hot reheat piping and headers in USC boilers successfully.
Simplified Methods for High Temperature Weld Design and Assessment for Steady and Cyclic Loading
Authors: Carter P.
Published: February 2025

Simplified or reference stress techniques are described and demonstrated for high temperature weld design and life assessment. The objective is the determination of weld life under steady and cyclic loading in boiler headers and piping systems. The analysis deals with the effect of cyclic loading, constraint and multiaxiality in a heterogeneous joint. A common thread that runs through most high temperature weld reports and failure analyses is the existence of a relatively creep-weak zone somewhere in the joint. This paper starts with the assumption that the size and creep strength of this zone are known, in addition to parent metal properties. Life prediction requires an efficient analysis technique (such as the reference stress method), which separates the structural and material problems, and does not require complex constitutive models. The approach is illustrated with a simple example of an IN617 main steam girth weld, which could be present in an advanced plant concept with 700°C steam temperature.
Fireside Corrosion Study Using B&W Clean Environment Development Facility for Oxy-Coal Combustion Systems
Authors: Kung S. C. , Tanzosh J. M. , McDonald D. K.
Published: February 2025

The development of oxy-fuel combustion technology for coal-based power generation may produce combustion products different from those typically found in traditional boilers. In particular, the enrichment of CO2 and perhaps SO3 could alter the chemical equilibrium to favor the formation of certain carbonates and sulfates in the deposit. Higher concentrations of these gases would also increase the potential for condensation of carbonic and sulfuric acids in lower-temperature areas of the boiler. To address these concerns, B&W has instituted a comprehensive research program to better understand the effect of oxy-coal combustion on fireside corrosion. The scope of this program includes gas and deposit analyses of actual combustion products sampled from B&W's Clean Environment Development Facility (CEDF) during the oxy-coal combustion of three commercial coals. The sampling locations consist of regions representing the lower furnace, superheater bank, and pulverizer outlet. Following the gas and deposit analyses, a series of laboratory corrosion tests will be performed to expose candidate alloys and coatings to conditions simulating the oxy-coal combustion environments. The technical approaches and results of the fireside corrosion program obtained to date are discussed.

Electrical Forces that Build and Recover Neurons
Authors: Pivovarenko Yuri
Published: February 2025

It was previously shown that it is the electric charge (potential) of water that determines its structuring properties in relation to substances both dissolved in water and in contact with it. In particular, it has been shown that negative electrization of the water used causes the formation of needle-like, thread-like and plant-like crystals and sediments. Taking all this into account, the formation of dendritic structures in aqueous solutions of chlorides exposed to pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) has been proposed to be explained by the negative electrization of such solutions; accordingly, the regenerative effect of PEMFs on nerve tissue was proposed to be explained in the same way. Over time, it became clear that such explanations are incomplete because they do not take into account the electric fields created by charged surfaces, in particular the outer sides of the cytoplasmic membranes of neurons. To eliminate this incompleteness, a number of additional modeling studies were carried out. In particular, the effect of various charged surfaces on aqueous solutions was studied. As a result, it was shown that in aqueous solutions in contact with charged surfaces, filaments are formed that are collinear to the vectors of electric forces created by such surfaces. It was also shown that these same electrical forces are capable of determining both the integrity of the formed filaments and their mutual separation. Naturally, all the results obtained suggested that it is the electrical forces acting on the outer sides of the cytoplasmic membranes that create all extracellular filaments, including neuronal ones.

Introducción: El argumento de La muerte del señor Lazarescu se desarrolla a lo largo de una noche, en la que el protagonista, un anciano con problemas de salud derivados del alcoholismo, decide llamar al servicio de urgencias hospitalario. Su traslado al hospital se va a convertir en un auténtico “vía crucis” de centro en centro, en el cual se va a poner de manifiesto la decadencia de Rumanía, en tránsito hacia un sistema democrático, en el que la corrupción generalizada deviene el diagnóstico de un cuerpo social que no ha logrado dejar atrás los vicios del pasado. Metodología: Aplicamos la metodología del análisis textual, de raigambre semiótica. Asimismo, enmarcaremos dicho análisis en la teoría del verosímil cinematográfico. Resultados: En el análisis fílmico nos centramos en el comienzo, donde se pone de relevancia la cuestión del cuerpo y la peculiaridad del personaje protagonista, así como en aquellos momentos en que se ponen de relevancia las referencias a la iconografía religiosa, como en el final. Conclusiones: Supone una radiografía de la sociedad rumana postcomunista desde un prisma realista.

Обґрунтовано, що перехід на оптимізаційні методи визначає об’єктивну необхідність відповідних змін та удосконалення технології проектування дренажних систем. Наявність множинних змінних природно-агромеліоративних умов реального об’єкта, багаторівневість (багатоваріантність), багатопараметричність, блочність та циклічність реалізації прогнозно-імітаційних й оптимізаційних розрахунків визначають необхідність послідовногообґрунтування за ієрархічною підпорядкованістю режимних, технологічних та конструктивних рішень щодо основнихрегулюючих елементів і дренажних систем в цілому у їх взаємозв’язку, їх поетапного еколого-економічного та інвестиційного оцінювання. Все це також визначає необхідність удосконалення технології проєктування дренажних систем на основі поєднання й послідовної реалізації різнорідних методів оцінювання технічних, технологічних,  економічних й екологічних параметрів різнорідних елементів та системи в цілому з відповідними базовими проєктними процедурами. Обов’язковою умовою практичної реалізації такого підходу є необхідність застосування сучасних інформаційних та комп’ютерних АСУ, САПР, BIM та ГІС-технологій.
Pengaturan Pengadaan Pegawai Pemerintah Dengan Perjanjian Kerja (Studi Pada Pemerintah Kota Padang)

Published: February 2025

Pasal 5 Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2023 tentang Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN) menyatakan bahwa pegawai ASN hanya terdiri atas PNS dan Pegawai Pemerintah dengan Perjanjian Kerja  (PPPK). Dengan adanya ketentuan ini, Pemerintah Kota Padang diwajibkan melakukan pengadaan PPPK untuk menghapus status pegawai honorer di Lingkungan Pemerintah Kota Padang dan telah berhasil melakukan beberapa kali pengadaan pengadaan PPPK. Pada tahun 2023, Pemerintah Kota Padang tercatat telah melakukan pengadaan PPPK berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi Nomor 14 Tahun 2023 tentang Pengadaan Pegawai Pemerintah dengan Perjanjian Kerja Untuk Jabatan Fungsional dan telah melantik 2.828 orang ASN PPPK. Spesifikasi penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analisis. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan yuridis normatif yang didukung dengan pendekatan yuridis empiris dengan penelitian kelapangan yaitu di Pemerintahan Kota Padang. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, pembahasan dan analisis maka dapat disimpulkan; Pertama, Pengaturan pengadaan pegawai pemerintah dengan perjanjian kerja di pemerintah Kota Padang belum menggambarkan adanya kepastian hukum karena dalam Pengaturan pengadaan pegawai pemerintah dengan perjanjian kerja di pemerintah Kota Padang dinyatakan bahwa seluruh tenaga kerja honorer yang berkerja di lingkungan pemerintah baik pusat maupun daerah dikelola dalam dua kategori yaitu sebagai PNS dan PPPK akan tetapi sampai saat ini masih ada pegawai yang berstatus sebagai honorer di pemerintah Kota Padang. Selain itu, Pengaturan pengadaan pegawai pemerintah dengan perjanjian kerja di pemerintahan Kota Padang juga belum memenuhi konsep tata urutan (hirarki) peraturan perundang-undangan karena Peraturan Menteri Dalam Negeri Nomor 6 Tahun 2021 tentang Teknis Pemberian Gaji Dan Tunjangan Pegawai Pemerintah dengan Perjanjian Kerja yang Bekerja Pada Instansi Daerah tidak sejalan dengan ketentuan perundang-undang yang ada di atasnya yaitu Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2023 Tentang Aparatur Sipil Negara dan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 49 Tahun 2018 tentang Manajemen Pegawai Pemerintah Dengan Perjanjian Kerja. Kedua, Akibat hukum yang timbul dari disahkannya pengaturan pengadaan pegawai pemerintah dengan perjanjian kerja di pemerintah Kota Padang yaitu: a) batal pelaksanaan seleksi pengadaan PPPK, b) beberapa orang tenaga honorer yang tidak memenuhi kualifikasi tidak dapat mengikuti seleksi, c) tidak terakomodirnya tunjangan PPPK oleh APBD Kota Padang, dan d) tertundanya pengadaan seleksi dan waktu pengangkatan PPPK.
Intelligent Blind Crossings for Suburban and Rural Intersections

Published: February 2025

Blind intersections in suburban and rural areas pose significant safety challenges due to limited visibility and inadequate infrastructure. This project proposes an innovative solution leveraging the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) paradigm, utilizing connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) for seamless communication to enhance safety at these intersections. The research focuses on developing a specialized Road-Side Unit (RSU) system equipped with a Virtual Traffic Light Algorithm implemented on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Key stakeholders, including transportation authorities, vehicle manufacturers, and local communities, stand to benefit from this initiative. The RSU system acts as a critical infrastructure component, facilitating efficient intersection management and mitigating visibility challenges. Methodologies involve adapting the Virtual Traffic Light Algorithm, integrating it into the FPGA-based RSU system, and demonstrating RSU communication operability through software-defined radios. Additionally, a novel solar-powered system is designed for lightweight RSUs to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency. The project's findings indicate the feasibility and practicality of the proposed RSU solution in enhancing safety at blind intersections. Successful implementation of the Virtual Traffic Light Algorithm on the FPGA demonstrates its potential for real-world deployment. The operability demonstration of RSU communication validates the effectiveness of the proposed communication system. Overall, this research contributes to advancing safety measures in transportation infrastructure, with potential implications for future urban planning and policy development.
