Precarious Finality? Reflections on Res Judicata in the Question of the Delimitation of the Continental Shelf Case
Authors: Ridi Niccolo
Published: September 2019

This article considers the approach to the res judicata principle taken by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and, specifically, its application in its 2016 judgment on preliminary objections in the latest dispute between Nicaragua and Colombia. The judgment joins the small number of ICJ decisions in which the Court was evenly split, an altogether rare situation, which, at the time of the decision, had not occurred since the Nuclear Weapons Avisory Opinion. Intriguingly, such a fracture seems to have been prompted by differences over the operation of a procedural principle the understanding of which is comparatively uncontroversial. Upon closer analysis, however, the disagreement reveals that more significant questions were at stake, with members of the minority issuing a vocal joint dissent and several individual declarations. This study will move in three parts: first, it will provide an overview of the nature and purpose of the principle of res judicata, its application in international adjudication, and its use by the ICJ; second, it will analyse the Court’s reading of the principle in the case at issue; third, it will expose the broader implications of one such approach for the role and authority of the World Court and the international judiciary.
Grey literature: use, creation, and citing habits of faculty researchers across disciplines (version 2; 20191107)
Authors: Cooper Kristen , Marsolek Wanda , Farrell Shannon , Riegelman Amy , Kelly Julia
Published: September 2019

INTRODUCTION Grey literature is ephemeral and the level to which it is created, used, and cited by faculty, graduate students, and other researchers is not well understood. METHODS This electronic survey was distributed to a sample (57%) of the faculty across a wide variety of disciplines with the only criteria based on tenure and tenured track faculty at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, a large R1 institution. RESULTS Faculty across the disciplines both use and create grey literature for several reasons, such as the more rapid publication process. DISCUSSION Many faculty in a wide variety of disciplines are using and creating grey literature. The survey illustrates the different types of grey literature that are being used and why. Other topics such as how faculty are finding grey literature (via Google Scholar and professional contacts), if they are citing it and what types they create (e.g., conference papers, preprints, technical reports) are also discussed. CONCLUSION As a result of this survey librarians can provide support for faculty who use and create grey literature in all disciplines and advocate for and promote grey literature to faculty. With more scholars participating in systematic reviews, librarians will need to be more cognizant of where and how grey literature is discoverable. Implications for Practice1.Findings confirm that grey literature is being used and created in multiple disciplines, not just the sciences.2.Librarians can impact faculty’s discovery of grey literature outside the existing avenues of Google Scholar and professional contacts.3.Faculty are using grey literature to stay current on research which is a reason academic libraries should consider increasing their awareness and collection development of grey literature.
Small gods, rituals, and cooperation: The Mentawai water spirit Sikameinan
Authors: Singh Manvir , Kaptchuck Ted , Henrich Joseph
Published: September 2019

Cognitive and evolutionary research has overwhelmingly focused on the powerful deities of large-scale societies, yet little work has examined the smaller gods of animist traditions. Here, in a study of the Mentawai water spirit Sikameinan (Siberut Island, Indonesia), we address three questions: (1) Are smaller gods believed to enforce cooperation, especially compared to bigger gods in larger-scale societies? (2) Do beliefs in these deities encourage people to engage in behavior that would otherwise be perceived as costly? and (3) Does ritual reinforce beliefs in these deities? Drawing on interview responses, data from healing ceremonies, and ethnographic observation, we show that Sikameinan is believed to punish people who violate meat-sharing norms and that people ‘attacked’ by Sikameinan pay shamans to conduct healing rituals. The public nature of rituals, involving prestigious individuals apologizing to Sikameinan for the patient’s stinginess, reinforce onlookers’ beliefs about Sikameinan. The most widely shared beliefs about Sikameinan are represented in rituals while beliefs not represented vary considerably, indicating that ritual may be potent for cultural transmission. These results suggest that moralizing supernatural punishers may be more common than suspected and that the trend in the cultural evolution of religion has been an expansion of deities’ scope, powers, and monitoring abilities.

Published: September 2019

The postnatal period (birth to 6 weeks of age) is a high-risk period for mothers and their newborns. Despite significant improvements in the Nepalese healthcare system over the last decade, there is still a high incidence of maternal and neonatal deaths during the postnatal period. These factors, in addition to existing socioeconomic barriers, discourage many women from returning to these facilities for postnatal care. This study therefore, aims to determine the extent of healthcare utilization among women with recent childbirth experience in the Mahalaxmi municipality in the Lalitpur district of Nepal. This study is descriptive cross-sectional needs assessment utilizing a pre-tested survey instrument administered to ninety-eight women who were randomly selected from the semi-urban Mahalaxmi municipality. All the respondents reported that they received ante-natal care during their pregnancy. A majority of the women reported that they received perinatal care from physicians. The results of the study showed that although there was a significantly high utilization of ante-natal and perinatal care among women with recent childbirth experience, most of the women were unaware of the availability or necessity of postnatal care, despite the accessibility of physicians and healthcare facilities.
Risk of Zoonoses among Livestock Farmers in Nepal
Authors: Adhikari Ramesh , Bagale Kosh Bilash
Published: September 2019

In Nepal most of the people are engaged in agriculture and livestock farming but having low knowledge and poor practices are making them prone to zoo noses threats. The aim of this study is to identify the risk of common zoo noses and existing knowledge, practices among livestock farmer in Nepal and all over the world. The study was conducted based on literature review. Literature search from Google Scholar, Pub Med and Hinari databases was used for the study. The study shows that farmers have low knowledge and risky practices related to zoo noses. Sixty-five percent (n=40) of pork handlers were not following safety. Thirty six percent cattle farmers used to dispose placenta, 39.65% of them aborted foetus. Similarly, 23.25% farmers gave intra uterine medication with bare hands and 30% were sleeping in animal shed (n=250). African and South East Asian countries are facing more burden of zoo noses. Due to global warming and climate change, different zoo noses are emerging and re-emerging presentation in the world. Different research findings suggest that "One Health Approach" might help to fight against the zoo noses all over the world.
Optimal Allocation of Capacitor Bank for Loss Minimization and Voltage Improvement Using Analytical Method
Authors: KC Avinash Khatri , Regmi Tika Ram
Published: September 2019

An electric distribution system plays an important role in achieving satisfactory power supply. The quality of power is measured by voltage stability and profile of voltage. The voltage profile is affected by the losses in distribution system. As the load is mostly inductive on the distribution system and requires large reactive power, most of the power quality problems can be resolved with requisite control of reactive power. Capacitors are often installed in distribution system for reactive power compensation. This paper presents two stage procedures to identify the location and size of capacitor bank. In the first stage, the load flow is carried out to find the losses of the system using sweep algorithm. In the next stage, different size of capacitors are initialized and placed in each possible candidate bus and again load flow for the system is carried out. The objective function of the cost incorporating capacitor cost and loss cost is formulated constrained with voltage limits. The capacitor with the minimum cost is selected as the optimized solution. The proposed procedure is applied to different standard test systems as 12-bus radial distribution systems. In addition, the proposed procedure is applied on a real distribution system, a section of Sallaghari Feeder of Thimi substation. The voltage drops and power loss before and after installing the capacitor were compared for the system under test in this work. The result showed better voltage profiles and power losses of the distribution system can be improved by using the proposed method and it can be a benefit to the distribution networks.
An Insight on Social Media Stream Mining
Authors: Deuja Rojina , Shah Krishna Bikram
Published: September 2019

Data stream mining is one of the realms gaining upper hand over traditional data mining methods. Transfinite volumes of data termed as Data Streams are often generated by Internet traffic, Communication networks, On-line bank or ATM transactions etc. The streams are dynamic and ever-shifting and need to be analysed online as they are obtained. Social media is one of the notable sources of such data streams. While social media streaming has received a lot of attention over the past decade, the ever-expanding streams of data presents huge challenges for learning and maintaining control. Dealing with billions of user’s data measured in pet bytes is a demanding task in itself. It is indeed a challenge to mine such dynamic data from social networks in an uninterrupted and competent way. This paper is purposed to introduce social data streams and the mining techniques involved in processing them. We analyse the most recent trends in social media data stream mining to translate to the detailed study of the matter. We also review innovative implementations of social media stream mining that are currently prevalent.

Zmiany w świadomości społeczeństwa polskiego w latach osiemdziesiątych
Authors: Łabędź Krzysztof
Published: September 2019

W tekście podjęto próbę charakterystyki świadomości politycznej społeczeństwa polskiego w okresie poprzedzającym transformację systemową i odpowiedzi na pytania, czy, a jeśli tak, to w jakim zakresie na podstawie wyników badań świadomości społecznej można było przewidzieć nadchodzące zmiany i ich kierunek, jakie zmiany społeczeństwo akceptowało oraz w jakim stopniu było przygotowane na późniejszą transformację. Uwzględniając ówczesną sytuację ekonomiczną i polityczną, czyli sytuację głębokiego kryzysu gospodarczego oraz ostrego konfliktu politycznego, przedstawiono poglądy, oceny i przekonania dotyczące sposobu postrzegania stron konfliktu i odpowiedzialności za kryzys, istniejącego ustroju politycznego i pożądanego kierunku jego zmian oraz preferencji odnoszących się do sposobu reformowania gospodarki. Wnioski, które można sformułować, opierając się na wynikach badań, można ująć w zdaniu, że ogólne kierunki zmian (czyli demokracja, choć nie bez zastrzeżeń oraz gospodarka wolnorynkowa obejmująca m.in. sektor prywatny) były dość silnie obecne w myśleniu społeczeństwa, ale późniejsze zmiany okazały się bardziej radykalne niż postulowane przez społeczeństwo, szczególnie w sferze gospodarczej.

Celem podjętym w artykule jest przedstawienie w bardzo ogólnym zarysie stosunków polsko‑żydowskich w latach 1918—2018 oraz ich współczesnego obrazu kształtowanego w ramach dwubiegunowo prowadzonej narracji politycznej, określanej jako heroiczno‑nostalgiczna oraz krytyczna. Postaram się wykazać, że opowieści o wspólnych losach, wywierające wpływ na kształtowanie wizerunku naszego narodu, stały się obecnie kolejną linią ideologicznego podziału społeczeństwa polskiego. Trwa nieustający spór o różnym natężeniu na temat występowania antysemityzmu w dziejach niepodległej Polski, a intensywności nabiera przy okazji przywołujących ten problem bieżących wydarzeń, takich jak np. nowelizacja ustawy o Instytucie Pamięci Narodowej, obchody rocznic wyzwolenia obozu koncentracyjnego w Oświęcimiu, powstania w getcie warszawskim, wydarzeń polskiego Marca 1968 roku. W artykule przedstawię punkty sporne w historiografii wspólnych, polsko‑żydowskich, doświadczeń oraz analizę rezonansu medialnego niechlubnych wypadków marcowych, jaki — na łamach tygodników opinii „Polityka” i „Sieci” — powstał wiosną 2018 roku przy okazji obchodów 50. rocznicy tych wydarzeń.

Effects of Planting Date and Irrigation on Yield and Grade in Runner-type Peanut Cultivars in North Florida
Authors: Sidhu S.S. , van Santen E. , George S. , Small I. , Wright D.L.
Published: September 2019

Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) have been one of the most profitable crops in the southeastern coastal plains but with increasing cost of production, growers continually seek to lower inputs and enhance overall profitability of their farms. Peanut cultivars with high yield potential and disease resistance along with drought tolerance are therefore obvious choices for sustainable production. Runner-type peanut cultivars were evaluated for pod yield and grade for three yr. Five peanut cultivars were evaluated in 2014 and 2015 and six cultivars in 2016 at the North Florida Research and Education Center, University of Florida, Quincy, FL. Cultivar performance was observed at different planting dates, four in 2014 and three in 2015 and 2016, to evaluate impacts of early, mid, and late planting with and without irrigation. Georgia cultivar GA-12Y consistently yielded greater than the other varieties in all yr of the study. Average pod yield for GA-12Y was 5980 kg/ha for three yr compared to 5140 kg/ha, 4730 kg/ha, 4890 kg/ha for GA-06G, FloRun 107, and TUFRunner 511, respectively. Florida cultivar TUFRunner 297 yielded greater (5300 kg/ha) than the rest of Florida cultivars irrespective of the planting date and had higher proportion of total sound mature kernels (TSMK) compared to GA-12Y in two of the three yr. Planting date had no impact on peanut pod yield in 2014 and 2015. However, peanut yield for all the cultivars was higher at later planting dates in 2016. The advantage of irrigation was not always consistent in all the yr, likely due to high rainfall during the study yr, removing that advantage.
THE ROLE OF MARITIME TRANSPORT IN THE SYSTEM OF ECONOMIC SECURITY OF UKRAINE
Authors: Lavrushchenko Yu.O.
Published: September 2019

Topicality. In the article the author considers problems of effective development of national sea transport from a position of globalization of economic relations and participation of the country in international division of labour. It is necessary to pay attention to the character of formation of macroeconomic and entrepreneurial results of fleet and commercial ports development.Aim and tasks. The principles of achievement of functional and economic stability of sea transport enterprises are Considered taking into account international conventions of freight independence of priority cargo flows. And also highlight one of the most important tasks for the development of the national transport system-the achievement of freight independence of foreign trade operations and the solution of commercial problems-maximizing the currency profit. The author identifies the main reason for the situation, which leads to an increase in economic losses and security problems-a violation of the principle of complexity development of the national economy.Research results. Simultaneously with the elaboration of the shipping policy it is necessary to define basic ports and choose a strategy of restructuring and institutionalization of various functional activities in the property system. The Integrated development of maritime transport means the conformity of its parameters with the main macroeconomic indicators, the extent of participation in international exchange and in-system compliance of capacities and cash flows. Maximizing synergy potential in the form of multimodal transport corridors and logistic distribution systems should fully ensure the economic security of Ukraine.Conclusion. The importance of maritime transport for normal economic, social and political stability and security of the State determines the urgency of developing an active strategy of the country as a maritime power. The state maritime transport policy should be aimed at solving two global problems: transport security of economic system and freight independence of foreign economic activity.Having analyzed the current state of navigation in Ukraine, we can conclude that the positions of national shipping companies, both public and private, are weakening every year – the volume of transportations carried out by the fleet under the Ukrainian flag is decreasing. At the same time, in Ukraine there is a problem of absence of a fleet and accordingly workplaces for marine experts. As a result, there is an outflow of qualified personnel from Ukraine to foreign shipping companies, and labor migration is one of the many aspects of the deep and all-encompassing systemic crisis in our country.

Invisible Veterans
Authors: Wilson Alice
Published: September 2019

Those who have participated in organized political violence often develop distinctive identities as veteran combatants. But what possibilities exist to produce a veteran identity for “invisible” veterans denied public recognition or mention, such as politically repressed defeated insurgents? Everyday socializing during or after political violence can help restore social worlds threatened or destroyed by violence; an examination of “invisible” veteran defeated revolutionaries in Dhufar, Oman, shows how everyday socializing can help reproduce a distinctive veteran identity despite political repression. Ethnographic fieldwork with veteran militants from the defeated revolutionary liberation movement for Dhufar reveals that while veterans (who are a diverse group) no longer publicly reproduce their political and economic revolutionary ideals, some male veterans—through everyday, same-sex socializing—reproduce revolutionary ideals of social, especially tribal and ethnic, egalitarianism. These practices mark a distinctive veteran identity and indicate an “afterlife” of lasting social legacies of defeated revolution.
The history of Ancient Israel as a modern problem
Authors: Desnitsky A. S.
Published: September 2019

Abstract: reconstructing the actual history of Ancient Israel is not an easy task. The Biblical texts, which remain the primary source for these studies are also Sacred Books at least for two World religions. Therefore, any kind of textual criticism, which offers their different interpretation is inevitably connected with sensitive issues regarding modern politics and ideology. As a matter of fact, the discussions regarding these issues always remain particularly acute. The article offers a survey of the discussions regarding the pre-history of Israelites as an ethnic group and the creation of the monarchy governed by the Davidic kings (the very existence of whom is also arguable as it comes out of some modern research). The author suggests that as a method can be applied a critical approach to the narrative itself. This approach is hoped will facilitate the distinction between the eyewitness reports (or stories written after them) and idealistic reflections on the past times (such as Solomon’s golden age, which do not possess any sources to build upon). The identification of the different strata within the Biblical narrative and juxtaposing them to the archeological findings from the same chronological period allows a reconstruction of a coherent and convincing historical picture of the Ancient Israel. This method also sets the limits for our knowledge with regard to this subject.
“Persian Miniature” from the Lev Gumilev’s Museum-apartment: the riddle of textual decor
Authors: Bondarev A. V. , Prigarina N. I.
Published: September 2019

Abstract: the “Persian miniature” was the gift by A. A. Akhmatova to her son after his return from the concentration camp. The sheet includes the painting and the textual decor placed around it. There is no documentary evidence of the history of the present, a donator or the symbolical meaning of the donation. This article discusses the problem of the textual decor and its connection with the content of the picture. The textual decor is presented by extended cartouches with oriental inscriptions. The most frequent are the quotations from Jami’s “Yusuf and Zuleikha”. This helps to correlate the textual decor with the meaning of the scene presented in the picture. Since professor A. Boldyrev was invited to interpret the textual decor of the picture on Akhmatova’s request, there might be a hypothetical connection between Akhmatova’s awareness of the meaning of the text and her donation of the miniature to her son.

Published: September 2019

Pengaturan temperatur (atau besaran fisis lain) banyak dijumpai di lapangan sebagai pengondisi supaya system bekerja pada parameter ukur yang telah ditetapkan. Pengaturan besaran fisis bisa dilakukan dengan mendapatkan nilai dari parameter ukur dengan menggunakan sensor dan diolah sehingga hasil yang diperoleh tersebut dapat dipergunakan untuk mengontrol besaran yang diinginkan melalui aktuator. Pada artikel ini dibuat suatu sistem yang berfungsi sebagai data logger dan pengontrol temperatur pada pemanas air (heater) secara otomatis dengan menggunakan mikrokontroler dan LabVIEW sebagai pengolah dan penyajian datanya. Besaran fisis temperatur diperoleh dengan menggunakan sensor LM35. Kemudian LabVIEW dan mikrokontroler akan berkomunikasi untuk pengambilan data sehingga data temperatur tersebut bisa ditampilkan dalam bentuk grafik secara real time. Data ini kemudian diproses oleh LabVIEW untuk dibandingkan dengan nilai temperatur yang dikehendaki sehingga LabVIEW akan mengontrol pemanas melalui sebuah relay sebagai aktuatornya. Relay akan ON pada saat temperatur berada di bawah batas bawah temperatur yang diset sebelumnya dan akan OFF apabila temperatur lebih tinggi daripada batas atas temperatur yang telah diset sebelumnya. Sehingga temperatur pemanas akan stabil pada temperatur yang dikehendaki.

Published: September 2019

Introducción: El tétanos es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por Clostridium tetani, con un cuadro clínico grave y una elevada mortalidad. En Yucatán, la tasa de incidencia es baja (0.09 por 100,000 habitantes), reportándose únicamente dos casos en 2017, por lo que actualmente es una enfermedad de baja sospecha diagnóstica en la región. Caso clínico: Preescolar masculino de 5 años, originario de una comunidad rural de Yucatán y con esquema de inmunización incompleto, quien fue atendido por espasmos musculares generalizados, así como heridas recientes por cuerpo extraño y síndrome del niño maltratado. En la Unidad de Terapia Intensiva, se integró el diagnóstico de tétanos, por lo que recibió manejo etiológico y sintomático, logrando mejoría a su egreso. Discusión: Yucatán es una de las entidades federativas con mayor índice de maltrato infantil. Ante la presencia de dicha problemática social, es importante descartar un esquema de inmunización incompleto, mismos que con la coexistencia de hallazgos clínicos típicos y herida reciente por cuerpo extraño, se debe sospechar tétanos.Background: Tetanus is an infectious disease caused by Clostridium tetani, with severe symptoms and a high mortality rate.  In Yucatan, the incidence rate is low (0.09 per 100,000 population), reporting only two cases in 2017, so it is now a disease of low diagnostic suspicion in the region. Case presentation: A 5-year-old male preschool, from a rural community of Yucatán and with incomplete immunization scheme, who was attended by generalized muscle spasms as well as recent foreign body wounds and battered child syndrome. In the Intensive Care Unit, the diagnosis of tetanus was integrated, for which he received etiological and symptomatic management, achieving improvement at his discharge. Discussion: Yucatan is a state with high child abuse rate of. In the presence of this social problem, it is important to rule out an incomplete immunization scheme, which with the coexistence of typical clinical findings and recent foreign body wound, tetanus should be suspected.

Introducción: Extrapolar ecuaciones matemáticas para la predicción del gasto energético en reposo (GER) a poblaciones diferentes a la original donde fueron desarrolladas, puede comprometer la precisión del cálculo.Objetivo: comparar diversas ecuaciones predictivas del GER contra la calorimetría indirecta (CI) para la determinación de la mejor ecuación como alternativa en adultos jóvenes universitarios en Yucatán.Material y Métodos: estudio transversal con 34 mujeres y 30 hombres (20.25 ± 1.5 años) clasificados de acuerdo a su índice de masa corporal (IMC): subgrupos sin sobrepeso y con sobrepeso. La medición del GER fue a través de un calorímetro indirecto portátil. El análisis estadístico incluyó la evaluación del sesgo con intervalos de confianza del 95%, precisión, exactitud y correlación de Pearson (P=0.01).Resultados: a pesar de la alta correlación entre las ecuaciones predictivas del GER y la CI, no fue posible identificar alguna con clara superioridad frente al resto. La ecuación de MifflinSt Jeor mostró algunas ventajas al evaluar al grupo total.Conclusión: en la práctica clínica, las ecuaciones predictivas son un instrumento útil y económico que no debe ser descartado a pesar de sus limitaciones.Palabras clave: Calorimetría indirecta. Índice de masa corporal. Evaluación nutricional.

Introducción. Los factores genéticos del hospedero; como el polimorfismo de genes de citocinas influyen en la magnitud de la respuesta de anti-HBs inducida tras la vacunación contra el virus de la hepatitis B.Objetivos. Determinar si el polimorfismo de un simple nucleótido (SNP) de los genes de la interleucina 12 (IL12) A y B, influyen en la respuesta humoral a la vacuna Heberbiovac HB.Material y Métodos. Se estudiaron 12 trabajadores de la salud que no tenían niveles protectores de anti-HBs y fueron reactivados con una dosis de Heberbiovac HB. Las variantes de SNP de IL12A rs568408 e IL12B rs3212227 se identificaron por secuenciación nucleotídica. Se empleó el UMELISA anti-HBs para cuantificar los niveles de anti-HBs a los 7 y 28 días posteriores a la vacunación (dpv).Resultados. Altos niveles de anti-HBs (>1000UI/L) fueron detectados en el 75% (9/12) de los trabajadores a los 28dpv. Las combinaciones de IL12A rs568408/IL12B rs3212227 asociadas con una mayor respuesta de anti-HBs fueron la GG/AC y AG/AC. Bajos niveles protectores de anti-HBs (<13 UI/L) fue detectada a los 28 dpv, en un individuo que portaba la combinación AA/AA.Conclusión. La variabilidad genética entre individuos debe tenerse en cuenta para inducir una elevada seroprotección, en personas que reciban una dosis de reactivación con Heberbiovac HB.

Published: September 2019

Introducción. La diabetes mellitus (DM) es una enfermedad crónica que incrementa su frecuencia cada año, y la búsqueda de estrategias que sean de ayuda en la prevención o control son el objetivo en diversos estudios. La DM puede disminuir la biodisponibilidad de óxido nítrico (ON) mediante diversos mecanismos, presentándose la disfunción endotelial. Diversos estudios en modelos animales y estudios in vitro sugieren la participación de arginasa en la DM, al ser un competidor directo por el sustrato de la sintasa de óxido nítrico (NOs), disminuyendo la producción de ON.Objetivo. En este estudio, se determinó en pacientes con DM la actividad de la enzima arginasa como un posible marcador del progreso de la enfermedad.Material y Método: Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal, en el que se utilizaron muestras sanguíneas en ayuno de 12 horas, se determinaron los parámetros antropométricos, los niveles de glucosa, colesterol y se evaluó la actividad de arginasa.Resultados y conclusiones: Participaron 107 pacientes en total, 37 controles y 67 con DM.

Introducción. Los nanogeles están siendo estudiados para diversas aplicaciones biomédicas. Una de las más relevantes es como portadores de fármacos con propósitos terapéuticos, incrementando la bioactividad y el transporte de componentes activos a sitios o células específicas.Objetivo. Evaluar la citotoxicidad de nanogeles de polivinilpirrolidona (PVP) de 30 y 100 nm en células de fibroblastos murino.Materiales y métodos. Se evaluó la citotoxicidad de nanogeles de PVP a través de integridad lisosomal mediante el ensayo de captación del rojo neutro en células de fibroblasto murino L 929.Resultados. Los resultados de citotoxicidad mostraron que no existen efectos citotóxicos en células tratadas con los nanogeles de 30 nm a las concentraciones de 50, 100, 200 y 300 µg/mL durante 24 h y 48 h. Sin embargo, los nanogeles de 100 nm a las 48 horas presentaron cierta citotoxicidad al disminuir el % de sobrevida a menos de 70% de células vivas, no así a las 24 horas que no se observó este efecto.Conclusión. Los nanogeles de PVP sintetizados tienen un tamaño de 30 nm y 100 nm, característica que puede ser explotada para liberación de drogas intracelular. Los nanogeles de 30 nm no mostraron citotoxicidad para las células, propiedad que los hace candidatos potenciales en nuevas formulaciones como sistemas de liberación controlada de fármacos anticancerígenos.

W1FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF PIPES CONVEYING FLUID MOUNTED ON VISCOELASTIC FOUNDATIONS
Authors: Mostafa Nawras
Published: September 2019

AbstractIn this study, the stability of a simply supported pipeline conveying fluid with different velocities and resting on viscoelastic foundation is investigated by using finite element analysis, and the critical fluid velocity with different parameters such as stiffness and viscous coefficients of foundation are obtained. This structural system could be found in pipes conveying petrol, water, and sewage. The foundation is simulated using the modified Winkler's model to introduce the effect of time dependent viscosity term. Some known results are confirmed and some new ones obtained. Two components of foundation, stiffness and viscosity, seemed to act on the critical flow velocity of the pipe in contrary trend. Where, increasing the foundation stiffness tended to increase the critical flow velocity in the pipe. While, increasing foundation viscosity attempted to decrease it. At some ranges of pipe length, the foundation viscosity effect seems to be more extreme. Increasing the fluid velocity leads to monotonic reduction in the system damping ratio. Two parameters, pipe length and fluid density which relate to the natural frequency of pipeline conveying fluid are studied in detail and the results indicate that the effect of Coriolis force on natural frequency is become more effective by increasing pipe length and fluid density besides increasing fluid flow velocity.
Numerical and Experimental Study on Deficient Short Steel Tubes Strengthened with CFRP Under Compression

In view of development and repair costs, support of structures is imperative. Several factors, for example, design and calculation errors, absence of appropriate installation, change of structures application, exhaustion, seismic tremor, fire and natural conditions diminish their strength. In such cases, structures have need of rehabilitation and restoration to achieve their original performance. One of the most up to date materials for retrofitting is carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) that can provide an amount of restriction to postpone buckling of thin steel walls. This paper provides a numerical and experimental investigation on CFRP strengthened short steel tubes with initial horizontal and vertical deficiency under compression. Ten square and circular specimens were tested to study effects of the following parameters: (1) position of deficiency, horizontal or vertical; (2) tube shape, square or circular; (3) CFRP strengthening. In the experiments, axial static loading was gradually applied and for the numerical study three-dimensional (3D) static nonlinear analysis method using ABAQUS software was performed. The results show that deficiency reduces load-bearing capacity of steel columns and the impact of horizontal deficiency is higher than the impact of vertical deficiency, in both square and circular tubes. Use of CFRP materials for strengthening of short steel columns with initial deficiency indicates that fibers play a considerable role on increasing load bearing capacity, reducing stress at the damage location, preventing deformation caused by deficiency and delaying local buckling. Both numerical and experimental outcomes are in good agreement, which underlines the accuracy of the models adopted.
