Published: December 2023

Knowledge of extreme meteorological parameters plays an important role, for the selection of any civil structure at nuclear site or to design important nuclear structures to withstand design basis values of meteorological extremes that are likely to occur during the lifetime of these structures. The method used for the evaluation of extreme parameters is least square fit method. In this study, statistical analyses of extreme values of meteorological parameters at Rawatbhata Rajasthan site (RR site) are presented for the period 1980 to 2022 and for rainfall, it is for the period 1964 to 2022. Meteorological parameters such as extreme wind speed and wind gust (5 min) at 10 m and 30 m heights, extreme surface air temperature, extreme atmospheric pressure and extreme rainfall (yearly, monthly, and daily) are evaluated and discussed. From the extreme value analysis, it is observed that the variables for monthly maximum rainfall, annual maximum rainfall, maximum air temperature, maximum atmospheric pressure, maximum hourly wind speed at 10 m and 30 m heights and wind gust (5 min.) at 10 m height obey Fisher-Tippette Type I distribution, whereas daily maximum rainfall, annual minimum rainfall, minimum air temperature, minimum relative humidity, minimum atmospheric pressure and wind gust (5 min.) at 30 m height obey Fisher-Tippette Type II distribution. Distribution function parameters, i.e., location, scale, and shape parameter for each variable, have been determined and design basis values corresponding to return periods of 50 years and 100 years are derived and presented. The derived extreme values are particularly useful for arriving at suitable design values to ensure the safety of civil structures at RR site area with respect to stresses due to weather conditions. The values are also compared with corresponding values at other nuclear reactor sites of Tarapur, Narora, and Kalpakkam.

Published: December 2023

The high energy neutron generation facilities worldwide uses the Li(p,n) system for production of the quasi mono-energetic neutrons from epithermal to few hundreds of MeV. Among the facilities either self-standing thick Li target or Li foil supported on a target assembly is used. In case of a supported Li target, either low or high mass supporting substrates like Al, C, Au, Ta etc. can be used. However, the neutron emission from the supporting substrate can interfere with the Li(p,n) reaction neutrons. In the present study neutron yields from a thin natural Li target supported on the thick natural Ta (high Z) and C (low Z) targets were measured at incident proton energies between 8-20 MeV. The proton irradiation of targets were performed at the Pelletron accelerator Facility, Mumbai and the emitted neutrons were measures at both forward (0°) and lateral (90°) directions with respect to the incident beam. The neutron yield was estimated using the CR-39 detectors and dual scintillator based active neutron spectrometer. A neutron dose equivalent (NDE) meter was also used to measure the neutron ambient dose equivalent at the measurement point. Experimentally measured neutron yields and ambient neutron dose equivalent estimates indicated higher Li(p,n) neutron yield with carbon as the supporting substrate. This is due to fewer self-emissions from natC compared to natTa target. Carbon supporting substrate also ensures improved spectral features of the Li(p,n) emission neutrons and lesser neutron fluence around the source location. This ensures efficient implementation of radiation protection practices with carbon target due to lower neutron fluence around the source compared to tantalum target. Carbon is a favorable supporting substrate compared to high Z- metal targets like Ta for emission neutron studies on Li target at proton energies between 8-20 MeV.

Authors: Bhilare Amol , Swain Debabrata , Patel Niraj
Published: December 2023

Agriculture plays an important role towards the economic growth of any nation. It also has a significant effect on global GDP. The enhancement in agro production helps in controlling greatly the inflation. Today a large percentage of population from rural India is still dependent on agriculture. But every year there is a huge loss happen in agriculture due to different plant diseases. A farmer does not able to recognise any plant disease at its beginning stage due to insufficient knowledge. Sometimes they take help of agriculture officers in this process.  However, if the infection level has grown by that point, it typically leads to a significant crop loss. Also the diagnosis made by the agriculture officer based on their past experience, is always not accurate.  Computational vision-based solutions can be used to deal with this great disaster to a large extent. Computer vision mainly deals with different algorithms that enable a computer to identify a hidden pattern for recognition using image or video data. In this work a detailed investigation has been performed on the different computer vision based solutions proposed by different authors to detect various crop diseases.

Kähler manifolds and cross quadratic bisectional curvature
Authors: Ni Lei , Zheng Fangyang
Published: December 2023

We continue the study of the two curvature notions for Kähler manifolds introduced by the first named author earlier: the so-called cross quadratic bisectional curvature (CQB) and its dual (

^{d}

CQB) (which is a Hermitian form on maps between

T'M

and

T''M

). We first show that compact Kähler manifolds with CQB

_{1}>0

(CQB

_{1}

is the restriction to rank 1 maps) or

^{d}

CQB

_{1}>0

are Fano, while nonnegative CQB

_{1}

or

^{d}

CQB

_{1}

leads to a Fano manifold as well, provided that the universal cover does not contain a flat de Rham factor. For the latter statement we employ the Kähler–Ricci flow to deform the metric. We conjecture that all Kähler C-spaces have nonnegative CQB and positive

^{d}

CQB. By giving irreducible such examples with arbitrarily large second Betti numbers we show that the positivity of these two curvatures puts no restriction on the Betti number. A strengthened conjecture is that any Kähler C-space actually has positive CQB unless it is a

{\mathbb{P}}^{1}

bundle. Finally, we give an example of a nonsymmetric, irreducible Kähler C-space with

b_{2}>1

and positive CQB, as well as of compact non-locally-symmetric Kähler manifolds with

\textup{CQB}<0

and

^{d}\textup{CQB}<0

Bi-stability of the Wake Flow of a Hatchback Car under Zero Yaw Angle
Condition
Authors: Yuan Haidong , Wang Haiyang , Fan Guangjun
Published: December 2023

The aerodynamic performance of automobile especially drag and lift was largely
determined by the wake flow, which is three-dimensional, unsteady, and
turbulent. The styling of the rear back of the vehicle body has much influence
on the wake flow structure, typically including squareback, notchback, and
hatchback. Bi-stability of the wake flow of vehicle body makes the aerodynamic
force oscillating, which affects the energy consumption and driving stability.
This article investigates the bi-stability of wake flow of a hatchback SUV in
full-scale automotive wind tunnel. Both aerodynamic force and surface pressure
on the rear back of the vehicle were measured. Time series of aerodynamic force
and pressure footprint are used to confirm the existence of bi-stability. The
effects of some sensitive factors on the bi-stability have been analyzed. The
results show that for the given condition with bi-stability phenomenon existing,
the change of drag and lift can be 6.36% and 111%, respectively. The
bi-stability of wake of the tested hatchback SUV is related to the change of
flow structure in the wake of the vehicle, which can be explained by the drag
crisis of hatchback vehicle under critical slant angle.
Only as Strong as the Weakest Link: Resident Perspectives on Entrustable Professional Activities and Their Impact on Learning
Authors: Ahn Eusang , LaDonna Kori A. , Landreville Jeffrey M. , Mcheimech Rawad , Cheung Warren J.
Published: December 2023

Background Core to competency-based medical education (CBME) is the use of frequent low-stakes workplace-based assessments. In the Canadian context, these observations of performance are framed around entrustable professional activities (EPAs).

Objective We aimed to explore residents’ real-world perspectives of EPAs and their perceived impact on learning, because assessments perceived to be “inauthentic,” or not truly reflective of their lived experiences, may interfere with learning.

Methods Using constructivist grounded theory, we conducted 18 semistructured interviews in 2021 with residents from all programs that had implemented CBME at one tertiary care academic center in Canada. Participants were recruited via email through respective program administrators. Data collection and analysis occurred iteratively, and categories were identified using constant comparative analysis.

Results Residents were strikingly polarized, perceiving EPAs as either a valuable opportunity for professional growth or as an onerous requirement that interfered with learning. Regardless of what view participants held, all perspectives were informed by: (1) the program administration and the perceived messaging from program to residents; (2) faculty assessors and their perceived degree of engagement, or “buy-in” with the EPA system; and ultimately (3) learner behavior. We theorized from these findings that all 3 aspects must be working in tandem for the assessment system to function as intended.

Conclusions From the learners’ perspective, there exists a dynamic, interdependent relationship between the 3 CBME stakeholders. As such, the perceived value of the EPA assessment system can only be as strong as the weakest link in the chain.

Authors: Lichtenstein Cara , Baiyewu Melissa , Bhansali Priti
Published: December 2023

Background There are few published resources to guide content of health disparities curricula. To train physicians to effectively address disparities, the needs and expectations of the local community need to be considered.

Objective To obtain community insight about factors influencing health disparities and important components of a health disparities curriculum for residents.

Methods This qualitative study consisted of 5 focus groups held in 2019; 4 included local community members, and the fifth was of leaders from local agencies serving these communities. Each focus group was professionally led and transcribed. Using an inductive approach to content analysis, the authors created codes from the transcripts. They then categorized the codes to support the development of themes.

Results Sixty-five community members participated in the 4 focus groups, and 10 community leaders participated in the fifth. Overall, 6 themes emerged from the data: (1) A healthy community is a community with access; (2) system-inflicted stress weighs heavily on health; (3) communities have internal strengths; (4) racism affects care delivery; (5) respectful bedside manner is necessary to build trust and better health outcomes; and (6) experience the community to learn and appreciate strengths and needs.

Conclusions This study illustrates that the community’s input provides insights on what to include in a health disparities curriculum and serves as a model for incorporation of the community perspective in curriculum development.
Corruption and its Impact on Socio-Economic Development in Selected Countries of Africa
Authors: Muhammad Ibrahim , Wasiu Sanusi , Ahmad Muddassir
Published: December 2023

Africa is indeed a continent blessed with an abundance of natural resources, ranging from valuable minerals like gold, diamonds, copper, and oil. These resources hold immense potential for fostering economic growth and development across the continent. However, Africa continues to grapple with extreme poverty and underdevelopment, with corruption being identified as a major impediment to progress. This paper focuses on the pervasive issue of corruption in Africa, with Nigeria, Uganda, and Zimbabwe as case studies. The research employs a descriptive and analytical method of historical research, grounded in the Prebendal Theory as its theoretical framework. The findings of this study reveal the staggering impact of corruption on Africa's development, with annual losses of approximately $60 to $100 billion due to illicit financial flows. These flows divert resources away from political and socio-economic advancement, exacerbating widespread impoverishment. In conclusion, the paper underscores the corrosive effect of corruption on Africa's development and offers several recommendations to address this issue. These include promoting merit-based leadership selection, enforcing stronger legal actions against corruption, empowering anti-corruption agencies, engaging citizens and civil society in the fight against corruption, and strengthening the rule of law and judicial independence. These recommendations aim to pave the way for a more transparent and accountable future in Africa.

George Grey’s Wandjina Copies. From Aboriginal Art to Primitive Art (1838–1906)

The history of the recognition of Palaeolithic art has been written from the perspective of European discoveries in the last third of the 19th century. Through this case study of the publication of the Wandjina paintings (Australian Kimberley) by George Grey between 1838 and 1841 and through the contextualisation of the interpretations attributed to them the article investigates the intellectual and political space in which conceptions relating to the ability of Aborigines to produce this art emerged within the debates of contemporaries and, later, of English and French prehistorians. It also provides an insight into the different contexts that shaped the will to reconstruct the heritage of non–European cultures in a colonial context.

An apartment with a view of an apartment with a view: Contemporary development of accommodation facilities in Tatra County from the perspective of the local community

The rapid growth in the number of individual tourist trips to the towns and villages of Podhale, observed nowadays in combination with changes in visitor preferences, in particular the growing share of short stays, higher expectations in terms of standards offered by accommodation facilities and a greater interest in renting separate apartments, coincides with the growing demand for properties to be purchased in tourist resorts in Poland for investment purposes. These processes trigger the expansion of accommodation opportunities, particularly by increasing the number of facilities that offer apartments: houses for rent, self-catering apartment buildings, and aparthotels. Recognising the new trends in the development of accommodation facilities in Tatra County that lead to spatial, social, and economic changes, a study was carried out, aiming to: 1) verify the availability of accommodation facilities, in particular including the scale of the phenomenon of apartment rental of apartments (the data were obtained from available statistical and spatial databases, a field inventory and the Booking.com website), and 2) examine the problems caused by the contemporary development of the accommodation infrastructure in local communities (the data were obtained during interviews with representatives of local communities, n = 74). The study demonstrated well-developed accommodation facilities in Tatra County, characterised by uneven spatial distribution, a large share of informally operating facilities and a rich offer of apartments for rent. The development of accommodation facilities, triggered by mechanisms of the free market, helps to satisfy the fluctuating tourist demand, and consequently to maintain the economic function of tourism in the region. However, on the other hand, it causes numerous spatial and social conflicts. In particular, it leads to excessive intensification of development, dwindling of landscape values, and destruction of cultural heritage (including the vanishing of traditional architecture). Furthermore, it may result in reduced availability of accommodation facilities operated by local residents, as well as in tourism gentrification of Zakopane and loss of the traditional highland character of villages of the Podhale region.

Published: December 2023

Soil is the substance most likely to meet nature and dirt people, vehicles, and clothing, especially in outdoor. Both source material and soil samples can be damaged during industrial and criminal investigations. Therefore, there is a need for detection, examination, and identification systems that can minimize contact with forensic evidence and provide accurate results with fewer samples. The study aims to determine the type of soil using a low-cost, easily accessible, and highly sensitive system that can be used easily without interference from the surface properties of the textile or destruction of the structure of the dirt. The working sites and areas of samples to be collected were determined according to the purpose of the study. In this context, samples of the most common soil types were taken from the lands in the Aegean Region of Turkey. Different types of substances were applied and dirtying on the collected samples. The newly formed samples were heated with a heating surface and allowed to cool. During this process, a thermal video was recorded, and feature extraction was performed. 165 samples were obtained from 55 tests. As a result, it is seen that the proposed method can detect samples with 97% accuracy.
LASER POLISHING OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED TITANIUM ALLOY IN OPEN AIR ATMOSPHERE
Authors: ERMERGEN Tolgahan , TAYLAN Fatih
Published: December 2023

Additive manufacturing has witnessed remarkable growth, transforming the production of intricate geometries. However, post-processing is often required to enhance surface quality and alleviate residual stresses in additively manufactured components. Laser polishing, an advanced technique, efficiently reduces surface roughness in metals. This study stands out by conducting laser polishing without protective gas in an open atmosphere. Results demonstrate that surface roughness can be improved by up to 50% under these conditions. Nevertheless, the process introduces a recast layer with significant oxidation due to atmospheric oxygen, leading to the formation of a Titanium Oxide layer and the development of surface microcracks. As oxidation increases, surface hardness also rises. Achieving high-quality surfaces for additively manufactured Ti alloys in an open atmosphere is attainable, provided vigilant monitoring of oxidation-related challenges. This study reveals the intricate relationship between laser polishing, surface characteristics, and the effects of open-air conditions on Ti-6Al-4V components.

Published: December 2023

The dichotomization of science and religion is actually a classic and prolonged problem, but along with changing paradigms and the development of scientific mastery in all fields, opportunities for the integration of science have opened wide. In fact, the sources of knowledge are integrated from the three major schemes, namely, natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities which actually originate from an integrative science building, namely the Qur'an and Hadith. In the Islamic concept, science begins with knowledge which is a manifestation of thoughts, feelings, beliefs and desires. However, in the western concept, the dichotomization of science is still seen with the separation between science and technology and IMTAQ, but this dichotomization does not last long, because it is increasingly clear that the development of science leads to one source, namely Allah SWT, so that it can be concluded that all branches of knowledge and knowledge contained in this universe is a unity of Islam, the wider the control, the more narrow the understanding.
Efeito do rejeito de mineração de lítio e déficit hídrico no crescimento inicial e parâmetros fotossintéticos em Dimorphandra exaltata Schott
Authors:   , Rocha Ana Carolina Martins
Published: December 2023

A mineração é essencial para o desenvolvimento de um país, mas a atividade ocasiona inúmeros impactos negativos ao meio ambiente, como a supressão da flora nativa e perdas no funcionamento dos serviços ecossistêmicos. Tendo em vista que a disponibilidade hídrica é um dos principais fatores causadores de estresse nas plantas, o estudo das respostas vegetais quando submetidas ao mesmo pode fornecer informações sobre mecanismos adaptativos das plantas. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi o de investigar os efeitos do rejeito de mineração de lítio (RML) e do déficit hídrico sobre o crescimento inicial, morfologia e parâmetros fotossintéticos em Dimorphandra exaltata Schott, uma espécie ameaçada de extinção. Foram utilizados 24 vasos para plantio, 12 destes foram preenchidos com RML e 12 com solo. Após 190 dias do início do experimento, as plantas foram subdivididas em quatro grupos devido ao déficit hídrico em: solo × déficit hídrico, solo × irrigação diária, RML × déficit hídrico e RML × irrigação diária. As plantas foram mantidas nessas condições por 50 dias. Foram realizadas análises físico-químicas dos substratos, avaliação de parâmetros de crescimento das plantas, produção de biomassa, teor de clorofila e fluorescência da clorofila a. Plantas em RML apresentaram menores índices de clorofila, taxa de transporte de elétrons, eficiência fotoquímica potencial do fotossistema II e menor comprimento radicular. O déficit hídrico promoveu maior altura do caule e maior alocação de biomassa para as raízes, porém menor número de folhas. Em ambos os substratos, as plantas cultivadas sob déficit hídrico apresentaram maior massa seca de caule do que as plantas irrigadas diariamente. As plantas no solo, em ambos os tratamentos hídricos, apresentaram maior massa seca da raiz e massa seca total do que as plantas no RML em déficit hídrico. A menor alocação de biomassa para as raízes resultou em menor razão raiz/parte aérea nas plantas em RML sob déficit hídrico. Nossos resultados demonstram que plantas jovens de D. exaltata apresentaram menor alocação de biomassa para o sistema radicular, principalmente sob déficit hídrico. Assim, mesmo com área foliar semelhante (plantas no solo e no RML), as plantas no RML não conseguem realizar fotossíntese nos mesmos níveis do que as plantas no solo, o que resulta em menor produção de matéria seca. Nossos resultados indicam que a espécie estudada não seja indicada para a recuperação de áreas degradadas, notadamente pela alta mortalidade e crescimento lento. Palavras-chave: Biomassa.

A pesquisa ora pretendida pauta-se na discussão e importância da utilização de metodologias ativas para dinamizar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem em sala de aula e facilitar a compreensão do discente acerca das peculiaridades e complexidades que envolvem um processo de licenciamento ambiental de grande potencial ofensivo aos recursos ambientais definidos pela lei federal nº 6.938/81 (Política Nacional do Meio Ambiente) e que fazem parte do conteúdo programático das disciplinas de Planejamento Ambiental e de Direito/Legislação Ambiental alocadas na grade curricular do oitavo período do curso de Engenharia Ambiental do Centro Universitário de Volta Redonda (UniFOA). A ampla discussão que envolve um processo de licenciamento ambiental de uma grande usina hidrelétrica fictícia em região de grande diversidade biológica de fauna e flora, presença de populações tradicionais e povos indígenas e farta hidrografia são peculiaridades que fazem parte do caso de ensino e que figura como instrumento de avaliação bimestral da disciplina de Planejamento Ambiental e Direito/Legislação Ambiental onde os discentes são instados a atuar para defender os interesses dos atores sociais integrantes da audiência pública proposta. No cenário criado para o debate e obtenção da licença de instalação de um empreendimento de grande complexidade foram introduzidas particularidades que possam induzir e estimular os discentes-participantes a problematizar e pela qual o sujeito ativo (discente) busca soluções para a realidade apresentada e se torna capaz de transformá-la pela sua própria ação, ao mesmo tempo em que se transforma. Pretende-se secundariamente promover a interdisciplinaridade das disciplinas acima apresentadas, bem como preparar o egresso para lidar com situações de pressão no exercício de funções peculiares da profissão.
