IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF REGULATION OF CONTROL SYSTEMS WITH UNCLEAR INITIAL INFORMATION
Authors: Sherstnev V. S.
Published: April 2024

This article presents a study of the properties of an automatic control system with a fuzzy controller, which includes a fuzzy pseudo-linear correction device with phase advance and a PID controller.One of the promising and effective approaches of the modern theory of control of complex technological systems in conditions of uncertainty caused by the fuzziness of initial information is an approach based on the use of expert assessment methods and the theory of fuzzy sets [1,2]. Technological processes characterized by multi-criteria function mainly in a fuzzy environment. Therefore, for optimal control of the operating modes of such systems, it is necessary to take into account the vectors of criteria and the fuzziness of the initial information. One of the alternative methods of building control and regulation systems for objects that are indistinctly defined from the point of view of classical theory is the use of so-called fuzzy logic controllers.Therefore, the development of fuzzy control controllers based on existing microcontrollers is a very urgent task, since a pseudo-linear fuzzy controller built on the basis of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logical I/O, under the condition of uncertainty of the disturbing effect, is able to provide higher quality indicators of the transient process than a traditional PID controller.As pseudolinear correction devices (PKU) we use: Amplitude-suppressed, phase-ahead, and with separate channels for amplitude and phase, since one of the main disadvantages of the PID controller is the presence of a phase delay and high sensitivity to interference in the measuring channel.

Published: April 2024

The production of wire products sets high demands in the field of assortment, quality, flexibility of technologies, efficiency and cost-effectiveness, as well as full automation of processes. This article is aimed at analyzing existing methods and identifying the most promising approach to the production of wire products among innovative highly efficient technological processes for the manufacture of rods and wire. The research is aimed at a highly specialized subject area sufficient for full coverage and disclosure of the objectives of this article. Within the framework of the article, a comparative analysis of the most effective modern technological processes for producing wire products is carried out. The authors' conclusions indicate that modern methods of producing wire products of various diameters through rolling processes (for example, on radial shear mills) often represent the most economically justified process. A significant advantage of this process is the possibility of obtaining high-quality wire products corresponding to the required dimensions, with minimal tolerances. To verify this conclusion, at this time, a radial shear mill was created on the basis of KazNRTU named after K.Satpayev, the main novelty of which is the location of the rolls. A number of practical experiments were carried out on the created radial shear mill to attract an aluminum rod of the alloy 6082 grade.

Published: April 2024

Describing the group of units in the integral group ring is a famous and classical open problem. Let S_3 and C_3 be the symmetric group of order 6 and a cyclic group of order 3, respectively. In this paper, a description of the units of the integral group ring Z(S_3×C_3) of the direct product group S_3×C_3 concerning a complex representation of degree two is given. As a result, a part of the conjecture which is introduced in (Low, 2008) and related to group rings over a complex integral domain is resolved using representation theory.
Probing the Physics of Molecular Clouds in Spiral Galaxies NGC 5055 and NGC 3627
Authors: Eser Sulu Hülya , Topal Selçuk
Published: April 2024

Although galaxies can be grouped in a few categories in terms of morphology, they have remarkably different intrinsic properties. Spiral galaxies host substantial amounts of molecular gas and have ongoing star formation activity with respect to elliptical galaxies lacking star formation. Molecular emission lines are used to probe the internal properties of molecular gas clouds where stars are born and die. Carbon monoxide (CO) is easily detectable in the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. In this research, we probe the physics of the gas clouds at multiple positions in disc galaxies NGC 5055 (M63) and NGC 3627 (M66) using four CO transitions and their line ratios. 12CO(J=1-0) is the brightest across the disc of both galaxies compared to the other lines, i.e., 12CO(J=2-1, J=3-2) and 13CO(J=1-0). The CO intensities show a decrease from the center of the galaxies to the outskirts. However, NGC 3627 shows a rather irregular decrease pattern compared to NGC 5055. The CO line ratios show an increase up to a distance from the center and start to decrease. Although NGC 5055 shows a similar variation in the line ratios on each side of the disc, NGC 3627 has an opposite trend on either side. Therefore, the ISM could have different temperatures, opacity, densities, and levels of star formation in different regions of the galaxy’s disc. Our results indicate that the line ratios found at the center of both galaxies are different. The difference could be the result of the bar-driven gas accumulation in the center of NGC 3627. The line ratios in the center of NGC 5055 are within the range found for the centers of other spiral and active galaxies in the literature, but the ratios in the center of NGC 3627 are relatively lower.

Authors: Campos Giovanna Ferreira , Guilherme Denilson de Oliveira
Published: April 2024

The Cravo Limo (Citrus limonia Osbeck) is the most used rootstock in Brazil and the world, due to its main characteristic of resistance to water stress, and despite being originally from China, it has adapted very well to Brazilian soils. In a post-war world (Russia and Ukraine), there was a need to improve studies on fertilizers available in the country, namely rock dust (PR), which there are few studies on. With this comes the need to evaluate the development of the carnation lemon tree, using rock dust fertilization. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design with seven treatments with 25 replications, with two controls and different levels of fertilization with PR from 25 to 125%, all treatments filled with sandy soil and commercial substrate, totaling 175 lemon seedlings. clove. The preparation of treatments was carried out seven months before transplanting the seedlings, due to the main characteristic of slow release of nutrients from PR. The evaluations were carried out by measuring the plants, measuring height in centimeters and number of leaves counted one by one considering those fully expanded, and after the first seedling reached 15 cm in height, the diameter measured in millimeters began to be measured until reaching the point of grafting. The results obtained through the height and number of leaves show that treatment two with 25% rock dust developed better, and reached the grafting point earlier than the other treatments

The study aimed to characterize a sample of approximately 150 kg of polymetallic zinc, copper and lead ore from the Aripuanã region, Mato Grosso. Due to the strategic importance of these minerals in the Brazilian economy and the complexity of processing. To achieve the objective, techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP) were used to identify the minerals and determine its chemical composition. Furthermore, the Bond Work Index (WI) test was performed to evaluate resistance to fragmentation, and helium gas pycnometry was used to analyze the specific mass. The results showed a specific mass of 2.89 g/cm³, a WI of 9.22 kWh/st and contents of 5.15% zinc, 0.15% copper and 1.30% lead. The presence of minerals carrying the study elements, such as galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite, highlights the relevance of these findings for the mining and metallurgy industry, boosting sustainable development and consolidating Brazil's position as a producer of valuable mineral resources.

Formal Structuralism and its Application in the Poem (Cacophony in Love's Tone
Authors: AL-anbar Omar , Alasasfeh Almothanna
Published: April 2024

This research is based on a comprehensive review of formal structuralism as an internal, textual, and analytic approach. This approach adopts a pragmatic analysis of text patterns according to a textual relationship network that inherently links text structures which are distributed into textual binaries and features, such as: comprehensiveness, formality transformations, and the internal organisation of the text. This research demonstrates how formal structuralism try to isolate literary texts from their authors, audiences and possibly all social, economic, political, philosophical, and intellectual dimensions of a text. This is because formal structuralism is based on the idea of internal and textual analysis that uses linguistic features. Formal structuralism, however, adopts a holistic and highly organized approach to analyse texts according to principles of comprehensiveness, organisation, internal transformations and movement, consensual and opposite binaries inside the text, and most importantly the autonomy of the text

Published: April 2024

Sickle cell trait occurs as a result of inheritance of a normal haemoglobin gene (HbA) from one parent and a mutated sickle haemoglobin (HbS) gene from another. Unlike the sickle cell disease, it is considered a benign condition in itself. However, major vaso-occlusive complications have been reported in association with Sickle cell trait, the acute chest syndrome being the most important one. We report the case details of a 32 years male who presented with features of acute chest syndrome and was later found to have sickle cell trait.

Published: April 2024

Leiomyoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour, occurring frequently in uterus. But ovarian leiomyoma is rare, accounting less than 1% of all ovarian tumours. Ovarian leiomyoma is associated with uterine leiomyoma in about 78% of the cases. Being asymptomatic they are often incidentally detected in most of the patients. This is a case of ovarian leiomyoma associated with uterine leiomyomas in a 53 year old woman who had abdominal mass on examination during her regular check-up. Ultrasonography revealed multiple uterine fibroids and a unilocular cyst in right ovary. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy was performed. Gross examination showed left ovary totally replaced by grey-white firm mass. Microscopic features were typical of leiomyoma and was confirmed immunohistochemically. Major differential diagnostic considerations for this tumor in ovary were fibroma, thecoma and leiomyosarcoma. Though rare, ovarian leiomyoma should be considered in differential diagnosis of ovarian solid mass. The immunohistochemical staining with desmin, inhibin, and α-smooth muscle actin are useful to rule out the differential diagnosis.

Background: Soft palate is a tissue mass that hangs behind the hard palate mainly to seal the pharyngeal airway. The length of the soft palate should be adequate to close the pharyngeal depth. Failure to completely seal leads to velopharyngeal insufficiency while longer palatal length leads to obstructive sleep apnea. This study aimed to find the need’s ratio among the general Nepalese population.
Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 591 of 17 years and above cases without any history of palatal surgery, orthodontic treatment or congenital defect were studied. The length of the soft palate, pharyngeal depth and thickness of the palatal tissue was measured using VLX computer program in lateral cephalograms obtained from gendex orthoralix 9200. The ratio of palatal length pharyngeal depth was calculated as Need’s ratio.
Results: Soft palate length was 33.27 + 7.74 and 24.82 + 4.53 respectively. The Need’s ratio calculated is 0.75. The rat tail shape of soft palate was highly prevalent 173 (28.3%) while S shape was least 51 (8.6%) . Crook type of soft palate has highest Need’s ratio.
Conclusions: The mean Need’s ratio of Nepalese population is 0.75. Need’s ratio also varies from shape of the soft palate.

Published: April 2024

It is well known that virtually all medications have side effects and the manufacturing companies document such in the leaflets attached with the packed medications. All packages of medicines whether capsules, eye drops, tablets or injections contain these leaflets that clearly outline the potential side effects amongst many other pieces of information. The use of the medication lies in its safety, usefulness and efficacy weighed against those side effects.
We report a case of a side effect of an oral medication which we strongly consider was the cause of the severe sore throat and pharyngitis of a 59-year-old male who had been on the over-the-counter self-prescribed medication. This report seeks to raise awareness by drawing the attention of physicians in resource-constrained settings where regulations over prescribed drugs are often un-adhered to be conversant with the side effects of prescription drugs, take a comprehensive drug history and properly educate their patients accordingly.
A Comparative Analysis of Malware Detection Methods Traditional vs. Machine Learning
Authors: Zohaib Ahmad
Published: April 2024

Mobile devices have been the target of malicious software since their beginnings. Two known types

of malware threats can intrude into mobile, independently injected applications and fraudulent

applications that are developed to breach the security of mobile devices. Mostly these fraudulent

applications access data using API calls and permission requests. API calls and permission requests

are important for smooth conversation between mobile devices and database servers. This research

proposes an efficient classification model that concatenates API calls and permission requests to

detect malicious applications. We have used a dataset that contained more than 15 thousand Android

devices’ malware. We have divided data into three groups to differentiate between the malicious

permission requests and malicious API calls with normal permission requests and normal API calls.

To increase the probability of recognizing Android malware applications, we develop three distinct

grouping strategies for selecting the most valuable API calls that are obscure, critical, and obstreperous and are chosen because Android apps extensively use several application programming interfaces (APIs). According to the results, malware applications require authorizations to access confidential information very frequently than normal Android applications do. Also, malicious Android

applications raise a diverse set of API calls to access sensitive data, evidenced by malware applications making a distinct set of API calls. Our proposed method attains an F-score of 94.04%, which suggests that it is efficient at discovering mobile malware applications. Our model can be of significant assistance in conducting mobile application analysis and forensic investigations into malware.

Methods for Determining and Predicting Shelf Life of Food Products
Authors: Šístková Iveta , Čížková Helena
Published: April 2024

The length of shelf life can be determined using storage tests that evaluate the physical, chemical, enzymatic, and microbiological stability of the food. The design of the tests as well as the interpretation of the results require microbiological and technical knowledge and skills. Fresh foods can become microbiologically risky before they noticeably spoil. These products will require additional studies such as predictive microbiological models or challenge tests in addition to direct ones. Deterioration of shelf-stable or frozen foods at the end of their shelf life affects quality and consumer acceptance without impacting health and safety. In such a case, accelerated shelf-life testing is recommended, and the Arrhenius model is commonly used to determine the relationship between chemical reaction rate and temperature change.
