Polymer Coating Enabled Carrier Modulation for Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Network Inverters and Antiambipolar Transistors
Authors: Li Zhao , Ngai Jenner H. L. , Ding Jianfu
Published: September 2024

The control of the performance of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) random network-based transistors is of critical importance for their applications in electronic devices, such as complementary metal oxide semiconducting (CMOS)-based logics. In ambient conditions, SWCNTs are heavily p-doped by the H2O/O2 redox couple, and most doping processes have to counteract this effect, which usually leads to broadened hysteresis and poor stability. In this work, we coated an SWCNT network with various common polymers and compared their thin-film transistors’ (TFTs’) performance in a nitrogen-filled glove box. It was found that all polymer coatings will decrease the hysteresis of these transistors due to the partial removal of charge trapping sites and also provide the stable control of the doping level of the SWCNT network. Counter-intuitively, polymers with electron-withdrawing functional groups lead to a dramatically enhanced n-branch in their transfer curve. Specifically, SWCNT TFTs with poly (vinylidene fluoride) coating show an n-type mobility up to 61 cm2/Vs, with a decent on/off ratio and small hysteresis. The inverters constructed by connecting two ambipolar TFTs demonstrate high gain but with certain voltage loss. P-type or n-type doping from polymer coating layers could suppress unnecessary n- or p-branches, shift the threshold voltage and optimize the performance of these inverters to realize rail-to-rail switching. Similar devices also demonstrate interesting antiambipolar performance with tunable on and off voltage when tested in a different configuration.

Authors: Moralar Aytaç
Published: September 2024

Petroleum drilling sludge (PDS) is one of the most significant waste products generated during drilling activities worldwide. The disposal of this waste must be carried out using the most cost-effective methods available. The objective of this manuscript is to mathematically model the parameters of drying processes experimentally applied to PDS. For this purpose, this study employed two different artificial intelligence techniques: artificial neural networks (ANNs) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFISs). These methods were used to predict the parameters. In the calculations, the inputs included petroleum drilling mud with varying quantities (50 g, 100 g, and 150 g) and drying times, using a 120 W microwave drying power. The results indicated that the coefficient of determination (R2) and the root mean square error (RMSE) obtained during the test phase for ANFIS were 0.999965 and 0.005425, respectively, while for ANN, the R2 and RMSE were 0.999973 and 0.004774, respectively. Analysis of the evaluation results revealed that both methods provided predictions for moisture content that were closer to experimental values compared to drying rate values.

By-products of processing of various industries in the agro-industrial complex with an optimal level of their introduction into the ration of farm animals make it possible to increase the productivity of farm animals by optimizing ruminal digestion. The purpose of the research was to assess the eff ectiveness of the infl uence of the feed product Vinassa on milk productivity and rumen indicators of cows during the period of increasing the milk yield. In order to conduct the experiment lactating fresh cows were selected during the period of increasing the milk yield (n=45), which were divided into three groups of 15 heads in each according to the method of pair-analogs. The introduction of diff erent levels of sugar processing products and domestically produced yeast production into the ration of cows in the 1st experimental group in the amount of 500 g/head/day and in the 2nd experimental group 1000 g/head/day has been examined in the work. The introduction of the feed product Vinassa in the amount of 1000 g/head/day as part of a totally mixed ration contributed to the optimization of rumen pH. The level of volatile fatty acids increased in the rumen contents of cows of the 2nd experimental group by 2.27 mmol/l, and the concentration of ammonia decreased by 4.48 mg% compared to the control group. Improving indicators of ruminal contents contributed to the growth and development of bacteria and ciliates. Thus, in cows of the 2nd experimental group the number of dry matter of ciliates was higher by 0.7 g/100 ml of dry matter of rumen contents. It was found during the experiment that optimization of ruminal digestion leads to increased milk productivity. Thus, in cows of the 2nd experimental group during the period of increasing the milk yield, the increase in the gross milk yield of milk with 4 % fat content for the period of increasing the milk yield was found to increase by 7.1 % and the increase in the gross yield of milk fat by 7.1 % (p < 0.05).

Holstein breed, which was bred in the USA and Canada has gained worldwide popularity because it has the most necessary traits for dairy farming on an industrial scale. In our country, this breed has recently been widely used to improve native domestic dairy breeds, for example, Black-and-White and Kholmogory, etc., which are well adapted to local conditions of housing and feeding. One of the widespread breed improvement methods in modern cattle breeding is line breeding. Using this method, breeders and milk producers can increase the productivity of their milking herd in a signifi cantly short period of time, ensuring growth in the economy of milk production. The purpose of the work was to study the milk productivity of fi rst-calf heifers of Holstein breed depending on their genealogical lines origin. The research was carried out at Kaluzhskaya Niva LLC in the Kaluga region, which is a specialized livestock enterprise for breeding dairy cattle. The farm is engaged in breeding cattle of Holstein breed and has the status of a breeding farm for this breed. The fi rst-calf heifers of Holstein breed were the object of the study with completed the first lactation. The total number of experimental animals was 40 animals, which were divided into two groups taking into account their genealogical lines origin. The 1st group included fi rstcalf heifers belonging to the line Wes Back Ideal 1013415 (n=24) and the 2nd group to the line Refl ection Sovereign 198998 (n=16). It was established on base the analysis of the data obtained that fi rst-calf heifers of the line Wes Back Ideal 1013415 with a higher daily milk yield had a minimum milking time and a high intensity of milk ejection. In terms of milk ejection intensity they were ahead of their herdmates from the line Refl ection Sovereign 198998 and the herd average by 0.23 and 0.09 kg/min, respectively (p > 0.05). Thus, to increase milk yield, fat content and protein content of cows Holstein breed, it is necessary to use more widely the sperm of sires of the line Wes Back Ideal 1013415. At the same time, use cows with the most suitable udder (bowl-shaped udder) for robotic milking.

Increasing the productivity of livestock and veterinary specialists is an integral part of intensifying the production of animal husbandry products. The solution of multifaceted problems is ensured by the organization of their work. For example, the intelligent of production processes in livestock breeding lies in the fact that the use of innovative technologies, the rate of which on average in the industry reaches 46 %. So far, involves the use of electronic telecommunication devices, which had currently better meet the requirements for the maintenance and operation of breeding animals than traditional standards using analog-digital forms of equipment and document fl ow. The purpose of the research was to study the eff ectiveness of using innovative equipment in terms of time spent on implementing animal science accounting and obtaining animal husbandry products when breeding animals using telecommunication devices for recording technical and technological processes through the integration of data collection terminals using RFID (radio frequency identifi cation) and scanners that allow reading electronic ear (UHF) tags, boluses, electronic chips compared to traditional equipment that is still used in livestock enterprises. It has been established that the use of innovative technologies in animal husbandry meets the requirements of breeding pedigree animals better than using previous standards, i.e. using analog-electronic forms of equipment. Thus, innovative technologies make production processes shorter in time by 16.3 %, and more economical. Analysis of the results of the growth rate of off spring of individual sires using traditional standard technologies showed the loss of working time 10.3 times greater than when using innovations. With traditional breeding technologies, losses in the average daily gain in live weight of young and adult animals by 17.5 and 30.0 %, respectively, were noted. Losses in average daily gain in live weight were noted by 1.1–1.2 times greater when using traditional technologies of registration, identifi cation and control than when using innovations. Therefore, it is necessary to organize professional communication with colleagues in the information fi eld to participate in breeding pedigree livestock in cattle breeding.

An urgent issue in cattle breeding is the evaluation of the genetic potential of cattle. By monitoring the livestock, breeders have the opportunity to identify animals with various traits necessary in agriculture. Important traits include milk yield in cows and high levels of fat and protein content in milk. This type of animal evaluation helps to produce of young animals with increased milk productivity potential, which leads to increased profi ts in this industry. The main purpose of the research was to evaluate the implementation of the genetic potential of cows of Jersey breed housed at the enterprise LLC SKhP Novomarkovskoye in the Kantemirovsky district of the Voronezh region. During the research have been received results characterizing the milk productivity of the experimental cows. Thus, milk yield for the fi rst lactation was 6370 kg, and for the second it was 5780 kg, which was a high productivity indicator for cows of Jersey breed. The milk yield for 305 days of the fi rst lactation was 5765 kg, and in the second it was 5665 kg, which meets the international standard for assessing milk productivity. The mass fraction of fat in the milk under study was at the level of 5.63 %, which indicated a high fat content compared to other breeds of cows. Cows of Jersey breed are distinguished by the production of milk with a high fat content. The yield of milk fat in cows of Jersey breed was 324.5 kg. Milk with a high fat content usually contains more vitamins, such as A, D and E, they are fat-soluble and are better absorbed if consumed together with dairy products with a high fat content. It can be concluded on base of the data obtained that the choice of breeding animals with high genetic potential is important. At the same time, a properly selected and balanced ration for cows and housing animals under favorable conditions ensures the maximum realization of their genetic potential.

In the pig breeding industry, the quality of sperm obtained from breeding boars plays an important role in the issue of reproduction. The purpose of the research was to investigate the eff ect of exercise regime on the quality indicators of sperm production in breeding boars. The research was carried out at the Tyumensky Pig Complex LLC in the Tyumen Region. For the research 3 groups of boars were formed with 10 heads in each. The control group did not receive exercise, the 1st experimental group received passive exercise, the 2nd experimental group received active exercise. It was found that the rectilinear motility of sperm, which aff ects the fertilizing ability of semen was in the 1st experimental group of boars 87.0 %, which was by 2.8 abs.% higher than in other groups. Also, more sperm doses were obtained from semen with high rectilinear motility with the same volume and concentration indicators In the groups of boars without exercise and with active exercise, 5.7 % of dead sperm were found, which was by 0.8 abs.% more than in the analogs that received passive exercise (p < 0,05). In the 1st experimental group of boars with passive exercise, the lowest percentage of sperm with defects was found, which aff ects the efficiency of insemination and the quality of the off spring. It was found that passive exercise had a more favorable eff ect on the qualitative indicators of sperm of the breeding boars of the 1st experimental group compared to active exercise (2nd experimental group) and its absence (control group). The use of passive exercise regime for breeding boars had a positive eff ect not only on the quantitative indicators of semen, but also on the quality of sperm and can be recommended at the enterprise when housing breeding boars.

At present, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus are signifi cantly behind the developed countries in terms of labor productivity and the share of domestic companies implementing technological innovations in the main sectors of the economy (especially in agriculture). One of the signifi cant factors of this lag is the underestimation in past years of the promising potential of various innovative technologies and, as a consequence the very limited and slow implementation of breakthrough innovations in the most significant sectors of the domestic economy. The decisive turn of the state economic policy of neighboring states in the area of deep technological transformation of all sectors of the economy is aimed at an innovative breakthrough and reaching advanced growth rates in the technological and economic development of fraternal countries. However, along with the introduction of the latest technologies the creation of completely new modern high-tech industries, which will require colossal financial investments, the task of comprehensively and thoroughly exploring internal production reserves, searching for new forms and methods of improving the efficiency of labour organization at existing enterprises, which will also bring a noticeable economic effect, remains relevant. This article describes in sufficient detail practical activities to improve and streamline accounting, planning, certifi cation, rationalization of workplaces of animal husbandry technical service organizations under the current conditions of the developing market. The results of the studies show that certification and rationalization of workplaces are effective tools in fi nding internal production reserves to improve the use of labour resources, fixed production assets, promotes the replacement of obsolete equipment, improves the relationship between workplaces, improves working conditions, and optimally balances the need for labour with the number of existing workplaces. This will significantly increase the overall efficiency of activities and competitiveness of service enterprises in the field of animal husbandry.

The barley crop (Hordeum sativum L.) for the Central Black Earth region of Russia is a promising area for producers of all types of ownership. Barley is a valuable universal crop rich in complete protein and starch. In Russia, up to 70 % of barley is used for feed purposes. The feed value of barley is higher than that of wheat and corn, since it has a more balanced amino acid composition of protein, especially lysine. The protein complex of barley contains more than 20 amino acids, 5 of which are essential. The purpose of the research was to investigate the yield and quality of spring barley grain depending on the eff ect of predecessors and mineral fertilizers under the conditions of the Central Black Earth region. The object of the study was the spring barley variety Knyazhich. The following predecessors were studied such as grain corn, sunfl ower, sugar beet and soybeans. The fertilizer application rates were such as N10P10K10, N30P30K30, N50P50K50 and N70P70K70. It was found that the highest yield of spring barley was obtained with sugar beet as a predecessor. Thus, with a low background of mineral nutrition N10P10K10 it was 3.84 t/ha, with an average N30P30K30 it was 4.87 t/ha, with a high N50P50K50 it was 5.48 t/ha and with an intensive N70P70K70 it was 5.33 t/ha. Thus, the analysis of the eff ectiveness of the studied predecessors and the application of mineral fertilizers under spring barley indicate that for the predecessors sugar beet and soybeans, mineral fertilizers in the dose of N50P50K50, the highest profi t of 30343.5 and 25747.1 rubles/ha and a high bioenergy coeffi cients of 4.84 and 4.51 were obtained.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of this article is to reveal the actual role and functionality of internal audit in the modern life of a company. An increasing number of Russian companies organize internal audits not as a formal event, but as a maximally independent structure that allows increasing the efficiency of existing business processes, identifying, preventing or reducing to an acceptable level the likely inherent risks related to activities of any company. The internal audit function plays an important role in the company, exercising control in the fi nancial sector and in all other issues that management deals with, providing independent advice, protecting corporate assets, ensuring the reliability of reports and increasing the efficiency and transparency of business processes. There is a correlation between internal audit and the company’s stable development, which leads to an increase in the company’s value and the eff ective achievement of its goals. The relevance of internal audit reports also lays behind the adaptation of its function to changing expectations and its compliance with the fraud prevention policy, risk assessment of business processes, improvement of internal control strategies, as well as confirmation of the assurance of accounting (financial) reporting and compliance of the company’s policy with its goals. The article shows the analysis of the functions and the role of internal audit in the company established in the corporate codes of the UK and the Russian Federation. The main provisions of corporate codes are analyzed in detail, their recommendatory and mandatory provisions, their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed separately. Most corporate codes are a set of general recommendations for building an internal audit in a company, thus providing a room for maneuver for the company’s management based on the prevailing business environment. Comprehensive recommendations for updating the provisions were provided based on the analysis. They can give a more accurate understanding of the internal audit function, as well as its place and role in the effective achievement of the goals set in the company.

The goal of this field guide is to provide an easy-to-use plant identification resource for both amateur and experienced natural resource professionals working in the Central Basin and Range ecoregion of Utah. This field guide can help users identify wetland plants, compare species with similar and easily confused species, and learn about plant attributes such as native status and affinity for wetlands. This book would not have been possible without the generous support of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP), especially Joanna Lemly and co-author Denise Culver, whose Colorado wetland plant books inspired this effort. Much of the information used in this book was adapted from data provided by CNHP; however, any errors in the information in this guide are our own. Many photographers and illustrators provided images for the book; a full list of contributors is provided in the credits section. Co-author Elisabeth Stimmel created plant part illustrations for the introduction to this book. UGS employee Grant Mauk created the map figure and assisted with determining license information for photographs and illustrations. Funding for this project was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through a Wetland Program Development Grant.

This work uses infrared thermography to conduct a non-destructive building inspection at the Gurupi campus of UNIRG University - Campus I, aiming to identify pathological manifestations and establish correlations with climatic conditions such as exposure to solar radiation and driven rain. The WUFI software was used to obtain data on hygrothermal behavior, relating them to solar radiation incidence, rain cycles, times of the day, and facade locations. The adopted methodology includes defining the study area, preliminary inspection, detailed inspection, diagnosis, and application of the GUT method to establish a priority order for interventions. The results indicate a correlation between solar radiation incidence and pathological manifestations in the inspected units, which can assist in proposing more viable alternatives for the durability of the facades in the city.

Este artículo pretendió abordar la realidad de la educación ecuatoriana sobre la competencia lectora en los estudiantes del sistema ecuatoriano. Para esto, se recurrió a los resultados de las pruebas aplicadas a nivel nacional por el Instituto Nacional de Evaluación Educativa (INEVAL) y, a nivel regional, los resultados de las pruebas del Laboratorio Latinoamericano de Evaluación de la Calidad de la Educación (LLECE) en el área de Lengua y Literatura orientadas a las competencias lectoras de los subniveles Elemental y Media de la educación básica ecuatoriana. Además, el estudio incorporó una investigación documental, el método deductivo, el nivel comparativo y el enfoque cuantitativo. De acuerdo con el LLECE, para 2019 el 74% de estudiantes de Básica Media y el 42% de Básica Elemental no alcanzaron la competencia lectora. En base a los análisis, se concluyó que los resultados de las evaluaciones nacionales no presentaron grandes avances. En las evaluaciones regionales, Ecuador no supera la media regional y difirió de las mediciones nacionales y de las mediciones regionales (35.7% en Básica Elemental y de 77, 6% en la Básica Media). Esto pudo deberse a la complejidad del contenido, razones políticas o manejo de estándares diferentes a los manejados internacionalmente.

The government spending budget in the form of transfers to the regions is the government's effort to reduce income inequality in every region in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to analyze income inequality through the government budget to regions, including transfers of balancing funds and transfers of special autonomy funds and adjustments using the estimated Gini Ratio. This study uses secondary data from 2007 to 2020 sourced from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. The analysis results show that the estimated transfer allocation of funds to the regions for income inequality has not been efficient, with a technical efficiency ratio of an average of 0.95 of the potential budget spent with realization based on estimates frontier regression line. This means there is inefficiency in the government budget in the form of transfers to urban and rural areas. This proves that the government's efforts in transfers to the regions have not been fully efficient in reducing income inequality in the area. The policy needed is to focus on capacity-building programs and human resources who will manage funds in the regions and act as a driving force for development.

Pertumbuhan penduduk berdampak pada kebutuhan air bersih, baik secara kualitas, kuantitas maupun kontinuitas. Permasalahan air baku di permukiman sekitar lahan gambut yang tidak terjangkau PDAM adalah kandungan keasaman dan tingkat kekeruhan air yang tinggi akibat sedimentasi sungai. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut diperlukan Teknologi Tepat Guna (TTG) pengolah air dengan sistem sederhana yang bisa diterapkan di masyarakat perdesaan, antara lain penjernih air berjenis filtrasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendesain alat penjernih air berjenis filtrasi (multifilter) dengan memvariasi luas permukaan lubang filtrasi, sehingga diketahui seberapa besar pengaruhnya terhadap parameter keasaman (pH) dan Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). Metode eksperimental dilakukan menggunakan penjernih air bio-multifilter dengan memvariasi luas permukaan filtrasi yang berbeda, yaitu 25%, 50% dan 75% terhadap luas permukaan total. Dimensi penjernih air berukuran 2R/3, R dan 4R/3, dengan R adalah jari-jari ketebalan lapis filtrasi. Media filter yang digunakan adalah karang jahe, batu zeolit dan bio filter serat ijuk yang diujikan dengan kerapatan media filter yang konstan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa penjernih air bio-multifilter yang paling optimal dalam menaikkan derajat keasaman (pH) adalah penjernih air berukuran jari-jari 4R/3 yang memiliki luas permukaan lubang filtrasi sebesar 75%, dengan kenaikan sebesar 36,28%. Penjernih air berukuran jari-jari 2R/3 yang memiliki luas permukaan lubang filtrasi sebesar 50% mampu menstabilkan nilai TDS, dengan kenaikan kadar TDS sebesar 11,11%. Luas permukaan lubang filtrasi memengaruhi kinerja alat penjernih air bio-multifilter untuk menaikkan pH dan menstabilkan TDS.

Evolution of the Brazilian Consumer Market for Alcoholic Beverages in the XXI Century
Authors: Limberger Silvia Cristina , Clovis Medeiros Marlon
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to analyze the consumption of alcoholic beverages in Brazil regarding the wine and beer sectors and, more specifically, fine wines and special beers as high-value-added production. It is assumed that the increase in wealth stimulates the desire for a greater variety of products and that consumption relations are essential in economic development since there is no reason to produce a commodity that will not be consumed. In this sense, to analyze consumption, it is necessary to understand the structure of income distribution, national production and its restructuring in the century, and the new strategies for marketing and selling products. In general terms, it is safe to assume that special beers and fine wines are consumed by classes A, B, and C, with differences in frequency and type of product. Moreover, companies try to meet all income ranges of the consumer market through product differentiation and different distribution channels.
