An Ecological Study of the Vegetation of the Kolleru Lake
Authors: Seshavatharam V. , Dutt B. S. M. , Venu P.
Published: May 2024

Kolleru lake is a large fresh water body extending over 850 sq. km in the Krishna and West Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh, between 81Â°40' and 80Â°20' E and 17Â°25' and 1.6Â°28' N. The entire lake being shallow, has only littoral vegetation with practically no limnetic and profoundal zones. As the lake receives rich nutrients as effluents from the several drains that empty into it, the vegetation is luxuriant. About nineteen species of hydrophytes belonging to thirteen angiosperm families are recorded. Data on the distribution of these hydrophytes in the lake and their frequency, relative frequency and abundance from different regions of the lake at different periods of the year, are presented.

Wild Relatives and Related Species of Crop Plants in India - their Diversity and Distribution
Authors: Arora R. K. , Roshini Nayar E.
Published: May 2024

The wild relatives of crop plants and related species arc of considerable importance in studies on crop improvement and in providing basic information on species relationships. The concentration of these taxa lies in the centres of diversity of crop plants. The Indian sub-continent forms part of such a centre of diversity (Vavilov, 1950, Zeven and Zhukovsky, 1975). Further, this diversity has also been enriched due to active gene exchange with the surrounding regions, particularly in the northern/north-eastern parts (Chatterjee, 1939). In this paper, a synthesis of the diversity and distribution of such flora has been attempted, pinpointing areas of concentration of these wild types so that this information can be profitably utilized particularly by the plant explorers. Collection, study and conservation of this genetic wealth is of great importance.

Taxonomic Revision of the Polypodiaceous Genera of India Pyrrosia Mirbel
Authors: Satija Chander K. , Bir S. S. , Bhardwaj A. K.
Published: May 2024

Twenty two species of genus Pyrrosia are described from India. In addition, two more species are doubtfully (P. ceylanica, P. angustata) recorded from South Indian mountains. Majority of the species are met with in the Himalayas from Garhwal to Bhutan. So far no species is recorded from Central as well as Western India. Pyrrosia acrostichoides and P. gardneri are restricted to Southern India. Quite a many of the species look alike but can be segregated on the basis of rhizome scales and hairs on the lamina as well as the spores. This is particularly true of the species belonging to P. stictica, P. mollis, P. mannii, P. nayariana and P. gardneri groups.

Chemical Nature of Hooghly (Ganga) River Water and an Assessment of their Impact on the Eco-Pedon System of Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah
Authors: Singh J. N. , Ghosh M. K.
Published: May 2024

The eco-pedon system of the protected premises of the Indian Botanic Garden, located along the river Hooghly in the lower gangetic plain in the district of Howrah, has been studied with a conservational point of view to understand the indiscernible phenomenon of the impact of the river water on the garden eco-pedo-chemical characteristics often submerged due to occasional tidal inundations of the river during the monsoons.It is experimentally revealed that a chemically dilute river water siphons off the mineral riches of the submerged soil system during flash floods. The intensity of mineral erosion is noted to be directly proportional to the periodic length of submergence of the soil system notwithstanding its natural revamping capacity.

"Dígame, Padre"
Authors: Azcoitia Alfredo , Barelli Ana Inés
Published: May 2024

El obispo Miguel Hesayne (1975-1993) se constituyó tempranamente en una figura destacada en la escena política rionegrina debido a su intervención en el conflicto obrero suscitado en la mina de Sierra Grande (1975). Posteriormente, su posición frente a la última dictadura militar (1976-1983) trascendió los límites provinciales transformándolo en una referencia nacional en la defensa de los derechos humanos. Con el retorno de la democracia, Miguel Hesayne impulsó una de sus principales iniciativas en materia comunicacional que fue la publicación de la revista De Pie (1984-1989), un instrumento de denuncia y de acción política. En el presente artículo nos proponemos analizar las intervenciones del obispo en la sección “Dígame, padre” en torno al proceso democrático abierto en la Argentina a fines de 1983, para identificar su posición sobre la transición y el rol histórico que le cabía a la Iglesia rionegrina en la construcción de una democracia “real”.
Estudo técnico-operacional de uma lavra de areia por dragagem e desmonte em Natividade (RJ)
Authors: Lima Cleverson Alves de , Silva Evaldo Raimundo Pinto da , Santos Marcio Dias , Menezes Sady Júnior Martins da Costa de , Silva Vinicius Lago
Published: May 2024

Introdução. O setor de agregados é fundamental para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico regional. A areia é o bem mais extraído nesse segmento, pelo baixo valor agregado e simplicidade de explotação. Objetivo. Este artigo sintetiza resultados da análise de dois empreendimentos extrativistas instalados em Natividade (RJ), sendo um por dragagem e outro por desmonte de talude. Metodologia. Buscou-se avaliar os aspectos operacionais, ambientais e econômicos para a implantação e operação das atividades. Resultados. O setor da construção civil tem grande relevância no desenvolvimento urbano local, apesar das sazonalidades macroeconômicas. A extração de areia implica, na maioria das vezes, uma explotação próxima aos centros consumidores para redução de custos com transporte. Conclusão. Considerando a baixa intervenção no meio e o impacto positivo indireto na economia, com fornecimento de insumos para construção civil, conclui-se que a extração de areia promove o desenvolvimento, além de manter os recursos e a arrecadação no próprio município.

Functionalized polypropylene separator coated with polyether/polyester blend for high-performance lithium metal batteries
Authors: Ye Weixin , Fan Zixin , Zhou Xingping , Xue Zhigang
Published: May 2024

Commercial polyolefin separators used in lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have the disadvantages of insufficient thermal stability and poor wettability with electrolytes, which causes bad safety and battery performance. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based electrolytes have drawn widespread attention in the field of polymer electrolytes owing to their electrochemical stability and high lithium-ion transference number. This work proposes a strategy of functionalizing commercial polypropylene (PP) separator coated by blending PCL (M w ~ 50,000) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, M V ~ 600,000). Compared to commercial PP separators, PP-blended PEO60w/PCL5w separators possess better wettability with electrolytes and electrochemical performances. The initial discharge specific capacity of LiFePO4-based LMBs assembled with PP-blended PEO60w/PCL5w separators reaches 144 mAh g-1 (1C) and 103 mAh g-1 (5C) at room temperature, respectively. Notably, Li/PP-blended PEO60w/PCL5w/LiFePO4 shows an improved capacity retention rate of 77% after 800 cycles, confirming that the functionalized separator with coated PEO/PCL blend has great potential for application in the field of LMBs.
Autonomous Instrumental Error Correction for a Strapdown Inertial Navigation System
Authors: Kolesnyk Vadym , Chernyak Mykola
Published: May 2024

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based strapdown navigation systems offer advantages such as small size, low cost, and minimal power consumption. However, MEMS sensors are prone to significant low-frequency noise and poor bias repeatability, which can lead to navigational errors over time. These errors make them unsuitable for autonomous navigation applications, even with frequent recalibration. One way to solve this problem is the rotation modulation method. This approach is widely recognized but has only been successful with precise laser and fiber optic gyroscopes equipped with precise rotating platforms.
This article focuses on the potential of adapting the rotation modulation method for the case of inexpensive MEMS sensors that can significantly improve navigation performance while maintaining the benefits of microelectromechanical technologies. Potential issues of implementation were discussed, and corresponding requirements were formulated. The proposed optimal computation scheme was verified during static tests of the developed inertial measurement unit (IMU).
The rotation of the IMU is capable of harmonically modulating the quasi-static errors of inertial sensors, which are practically eliminated during the navigational algorithm processing estimation, which paves the way for a significant reduction of its navigation errors and increases its autonomous operation time.
The static tests conducted in laboratory conditions confirmed the research method's high technical potential. It has been shown that the proposed method is effective for various spatial orientations of the rotational modulation axis.
Installing an IMU on a non-steering car wheel allows for abandoning an artificial rotational motion source while preserving the proposed method's advantages.
The proposed implementation's main limitation is that the IMU's output data update frequency becomes a multiple of the frequency of the modulating rotation. Accordingly, this frequency should be at least twice the maximum frequency of body manoeuvres to ensure their observability. Additionally, a critical issue is the compensation of the angular velocity of modulation from gyroscope readings. However, despite the mentioned considerations, such an implementation of IMU modulation by rotation still has enormous potential for application in terrestrial navigation.

Published: May 2024

The article analyzes methods and techniques of autonomous latitude determination. Kinematic schemes for georeferencing inertial modules in the geographic coordinate system are discussed, which are used for the analytical and semi-analytical methods of autonomous latitude determination. Analytical expressions are provided for the discussed methods of latitude determination using six-component (three accelerometers and three gyroscopes) and single-component (one gyroscope) inertial measurement unit. It is shown that the astronomical latitude is determined by the examined methods and techniques. Theoretical and practical models of the Earth are considered, including the sphere, ellipsoid of rotation, and geoid. The issue of determining analytical relationships between astronomical and geodetic latitudes is addressed. Approximate analytical expressions relating the determined astronomical latitude to the geodetic latitude in the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) coordinate system are presented.
Assessment of the influence of sensor noise on the accuracy of the microsatellite orientation determination system and methods of its reduction
Authors: Meleshko Vladyslav , Tarnavsky S
Published: May 2024

The effect of sensor noise on the accuracy of determining the orientation of a micro-satellite by the TRIAD method with the signals of magnetometers and the Sun sensor is considered. It was shown that at special points of the orbit, where the measured induction vector of the Earth's magnetic field and the Sun's vector are collinear, noises lead to significant errors in determining the orientation of the satellite. To determine special points, it is necessary to control the angle between the induction vectors and the Sun's vector according to the given formula. To reduce errors at special points, it is advisable to apply filtering (smoothing) of the signal or to switch to another method of orientation determination, for example, an inertial one using a platformless orientation system. It is also possible to "freeze" angle in the area of a special point for a few seconds. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the errors of both the determined orientation angles and angular velocities, which are calculated analytically.

The strength calculation of the transport aircraft control system element by the finite element method
Authors: Trubachev Serhii , Alexeychuk Olga , Kryvova Svitlana
Published: May 2024

The work is devoted to determining the stress-strain state of the element of the control system of the transport aircraft, which serves to transmit motion and is an element of the mechanism for deflecting the rudder and removing the load from the control wiring. If this element is destroyed, the control system will not function, as a result of which some elements of the electronic installation of the aircraft will be disabled. Analytical methods are not always effective when studying the stress state of complex parts and mechanisms of aircraft construction, although they are also used. To determine the stress-strain state in the work, a numerical method was used - the finite element method, which models the stress-strain state of mechanical systems with great accuracy, taking into account the boundary conditions and the given load. A four-node tetrahedral element was chosen as a finite element. Based on the analysis of the stress-strain state, dangerous places in the structure were identified, where there is a possibility of a crack appearing and, as a consequence, destruction.

Authors: Preto Miguel , Lucas Alexandre , Benedicto Pedro
Published: May 2024

Incorporating renewables in the power grid presents challenges for stability, reliability, and operational efficiency. Integrating Energy Storage Systems (ESS) offers a solution by managing unpredictable loads, enhancing reliability, and serving the grid. Hybrid storage solutions have gained attention for specific applications, suggesting higher performance in some respects. This paper compares the performance of hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) to single battery, evaluating their energy supply cost and environmental impact through optimization problems. The model generates an optimized dispatch, minimizing cost or environmental impact of supplying energy to a generic load while considering battery degradation. Seven technologies are assessed, with an example applied to an industrial site contrasting vanadium redox flow (VRFB) and lithium batteries considering the demand of a local load (building). The results also indicates that efficiency and degradation curves have the highest impact in the final costs and environmental functions on the various storage technologies assessed. For the simulations of the example case, a single system only outperforms the hybrid system in cases where lithium efficiency is higher than approximately 87% and vanadium is lower approximately 82%.
