Authors: M. Garoub Mohannad , A. Gouda Ayman
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT. Mercury preconcentration in environmental samples and hair of occupational workers prior to spectrophotometric detection was described using a unique, eco-friendly, and quick ionic liquid-based cloud point extraction method. The discovered method used an ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate with Triton X-114 as an extracting phase in the presence of a new chelating agent 3-(2-hydroxy-5-ethoxycarbonylphen-1-ylazo)-1,2,4-triazole at pH 7.0 to separate mercury and measure the complex spectrophotometrically at wavelength 550 nm. The effects of several analytical factors on extraction performance were investigated. With a correlation coefficient of 0.9997. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 2.0-400 µg/L. The limit of detection and preconcentration factor, respectively, were 0.5 µg/L and 100. The relative standard deviation of 100 and 300 µg/L mercury (n = 10) was 1.5 and 2.2, respectively, indicating the precision and reliability of the new IL-CPE approach. The accuracy of the proposed approach confirmed through the certified reference materials analysis. The applicability of the established technique was demonstrated successfully by the estimation of trace mercury in environmental samples and hair of occupational workers.

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT. At various calcination temperatures 450, 550 and 650 °C, zinc oxide nanoparticles were produced. Calcinated ZnO has high surface area as the BET was 119.12 m2g–1 and the average particle radius was calculated to be 1.16 nm. The dimension of crystallites and straining in ZnO nanoparticles' diffraction peaks remained measured. The Williamson–Hall (W–H) technique besides the size–strain approach stayed used. For each of XRD reflection peaks, physical characteristics like strain and stress were computed. Towards regulate the magnitude of crystallites, the Williamson–Hall (W–H) approach besides the size–strain technique are used that is good agreement with the size that determine from SEM as it was 22.6, 26.6 and 32.6 nm for ZnO calcinated at 450, 550 and 650 oC, individually. Using the W–H plot to modify the subversion shape, assuming an unvarying distortion model (UDM), unvarying stress deformation model (USDM), unvarying deformation energy density model (UDEDM), and The size–strain plan (SSP) approach was used to determine this. The SEM and Scherrer methods match well with the crystal size of ZnO NPs determined using W–H plots and the SSP technique.

Rabies is one of the priority zoonotic diseases and a major public health challenge in Ethiopia. Dog plays an important role in the transmission of the disease to humans. With this point in mind, this study was conducted in selected districts of Buno Bedele Zone namely Bedele, Gechi, and Dabo Hana districts, Western Oromia regional state from December 2019 to April 2020. The objective of the study was to know the status and burden of rabies in the community using the participatory approach and retrospective record assessment from animal and human health facilities. Twelve interview meetings were conducted in 12 Kebeles, which involved 156 informants. In this survey authors learned that dogs were the species most affected by rabies followed by cattle, human, cat, equine, and shoats. Accordingly, rabies in dog had an average score of 64 out of 100 with a range of 50-80. Besides, rabies outbreak was frequently noted between June to October in the study areas. Slaughter and sharing of the meat for household consumption was the most common practice taken to salvage bitten cattle. As per the available record in the study area, the estimated rabies cases incidence was 1.75 bovines, 18 dogs, 2.37 equines, 2.28 cats, and 0.37 shoats per 10,000 animals annually. The annual average post-exposure rabies vaccinations records were 75, 39, and 63 in Bedele, Dabo Hana, and Gechi districts, respectively. On the other hand, the average annual rabies death in humans was 2.2, 1.4, and 1.8 in Bedele, Dabo Hana, and Gechi districts, respectively. In general, this study shows that rabies is a disease that worth serious attention in the study areas.

De multiples foyers maraîchers sont dominés par l’emploi des fertilisants organiques de source animale pour relever le niveau de fertilité des sols. L’objectif de cette étude était de comparer l’effet de deux types de composts sur la performance agroéconomique de l’amarante (Amaranthus cruentus L) dans les jardins familiaux au sud du Bénin. Un dispositif en split plot à deux facteurs et quatre répétitions a été utilisé. Le premier facteur était le type de compost à deux variantes (compost à base de fiente de volaille et compost à base de bouse de vache) et le second facteur était la dose (0 ; 20 ; 30 et 40 t.ha-1). Les effets de ces deux facteurs ont été évalués par rapport au nombre de feuilles, la hauteur, le diamètre au collet, le rendement à la première et deuxième coupe ainsi que la biomasse totale de l’amarante. Sous la dose de 30t.ha-1, la fiente de volaille compostée a amélioré significativement (p < 0,001) le rendement de l’amarante (30,8 t.ha-1) avec un gain élevé et un indice d’acceptabilité ≥ 2 comparativement à la bouse de vache compostée (19,2 t.ha-1).Une dose de 30 t.ha-1de fiente de volaille compostée pourrait être recommandée aux maraîchers pour une meilleure productivité de l’amarante au Bénin.

Many market gardens are dominated by the use of organic fertilizers from animal sources in order to raise the level of soil fertility. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of two types of compost on the agronomic and economic performance of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L) in home gardens in southern Benin. A two-factor split plot device with four repetitions was used. The first factor was the type of two-variant compost (compost made from poultry manure and compost from cow dung) and the second factor was the dose (0; 20; 30 and 40t.ha-1). The effects of these two factors were tested on the number of leaves, the height, the diameter at the neck, the yield at the first and second cut as well as the total biomass in dry matter of amaranth. Under the dose of 30t.ha-1, composted poultry manure significantly improved the yield of amaranth (30.8 t.ha-1) with a high gain and an index of acceptability ≥ 2 compared to composted cow dung (19.2 t.ha-1). A dose of 30t.ha-1 of composted poultry manure could be recommended to market gardeners for better productivity of amaranth in Benin.

Published: August 2022

A boiler plays a significant role in a processing industry, particularly in chemical industry. It requires proper adoption of control techniques for supplying accurate temperature, pressure, steam, and water flow to produce chemicals. An uncontrolled boiler can shut down the whole process. Therefore it requires a continuous monitoring system for avoiding such shutdown. In the past few decades, relay logic, embedded or process card systems were used for controlling the boiler system. In the conventional system, the controlling scheme was also complex for troubleshooting because process cards are used only once. In order to overcome this type of problem Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system helps to collect data and information about the flow of boiler from various sensors. In this paper, SCADA and PLC assist in controlling crucial parameters using Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control. PID controller used in this paper is programmed according to the boiler operation's need, and the data can be stored and analyzed using the SCADA system. The results in this paper help the industrial personnel for boiler automation, allowing the plant operator to observe the crucial parameters for increasing boiler efficiency and reducing the financial losses.

Published: August 2022

Recent years have seen a considerable increase in the generation of power using renewable energy sources. This paper deals with the allocation of distributed generations (DG) in radial as well as mesh distribution network (RDSm&MDSm, respectively). The allocation of DG is been done through a meta-heuristic technique known as Atom Search Optimisation. In the paper, the power loss is reduced, along with simultaneous improvement of voltage profile of the system. The proposed algorithm has been tested on IEEE 33 & 69 radial and weakly meshed system with 5 tie lines is considered for power loss minimisation using single and multiple DGs. Two power factors are considered for the simulation 0.8 lag and 0.9 pf lag. The simulation results are carried out in MATLAB.

Published: August 2022

In this paper, an asymmetric source configuration of Multilevel Inverter (MLI) topology has been proposed. It consists of eight unidirectional switches, two bidirectional switches and four isolated DC sources. By considering 1:5 and 1:4 source configurations, the inverter produces 25-level and 21-level outputs respectively with the same switching action. For producing negative voltage levels, there is no requirement of separate backend H-bridge and inherently produces both positive and negative voltage levels. The main advantage of this topology is that in every state, only four switches are in ON mode and else are in OFF state. It also gives less per unit Total Standing Voltage (TSV) and thereby cost requirement of semiconductor devices can become decreases. For generating gate pulses, the simple Nearest Level Control (NLC) has been used by considering the round function. This technique is basically a fundamental switching frequency technique thereby switching losses are greatly reduces as compared with high switching frequency Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques and it is particularly suitable for large number of levels. With this control technique, there is no inrush current has been developed at the input of DC sources. Finally, with step change in Modulation Index (MI) values the proposed topology with two different source configurations have been validated through MATLAB/Simulink platform.

Condition Based Monitoring maintenance implies that a precautionary job should be executed at a convinced state of hardware. Such technique stands to be considerably additional cost effective than complete letdown of equipment. When racing to disappointment, an impromptu interference to creation is instigated. Likewise, an inadvertent blow-back may happen, leading to costly consequences. Extra parts or spare parts stock must be kept to replace in case of failure of parts. Booked preventive support results typically in repairing, fixing or supplanting parts, driving in an upkeep that is too exorbitant and ineffective in forestalling breakdowns. To further develop accessibility, the framework is upgraded for higher constancy and the necessity for support is restricted. Maintenance is likewise being completed in a most viable way, furthermore, in an arranged approach. Finally, some condition markers are checking to notice decay and recognize disappointments. This task is focused on the examination of Industrial Induction Motor and distinguishing conceivable condition pointers dependent on vibration estimations and investigation.

Published: August 2022

Due to the increasing population and emerging technologies, energy requirements are increasing progressively. Distributed generation (DG) is an excellent option to handle the increased power demand. A well optimized DG can help to reduce power losses, CO2 emission and improve voltage profiles. This paper uses sine cosine algorithm to find the optimal location and best size ofDG with power loss minimization as its objective function. It presents the comparison of power loss reduction and voltage profile enhancement due to allocation of DGoperating at 0.85, 0.95 power factor lag andthe optimal power factor that has been obtained by sine cosineoptimization. IEEE 15, 69 bus radial and 33, 69 bus weakly meshed systems with five tie lines are used for power loss analysis. Annual energy saving due to allocating DG with different power factors have been analyzed. All the results are simulated in MATLAB 2021a.

This paper is dedicated to the implementation of a law of mechanical behavior in the finite element software Cast3M using an open source code generator named Mfront. To do so, an elastoplastic behaviour model has been chosen from existing laws in the literature. Following an implicit discretization, a hardware library corresponding to the isotropic and kinematic strain-hardening model is generated using Mfront. The UMAT computer interface is used to build the library in Cast3M. A validation of the approach has been carried out by comparing the numerical results obtained with the generated hardware library and the equivalent pre-existing library in Cast3M. Simulations in the case of a tensile bar and a perforated plate show almost identical results

Ce papier est dédié à l’implantation d’une loi de comportement mécanique dans le logiciel éléments finis Cast3M à l’aide d’un générateur de code open source nommé Mfront. Pour ce faire, un modèle de comportement élasto-plastique a été choisi à partir des lois existantes dans la littérature. Suivant une discrétisation implicite, une bibliothèque matérielle correspondant au modèle de CHABOCHE à écrouissage isotrope et cinématique non linéaire est générée grâce à Mfront. L’interface informatique UMAT est utilisée pour construire la bibliothèque dans Cast3M. Une validation de l’approche a été menée en comparant les résultats numériques obtenus entre la bibliothèque matérielle générée et la bibliothèque équivalente préexistante dans Cast3M. Les simulations dans le cas d’une barre en traction et une plaque trouée montrent des résultats quasi identiques

Published: August 2022

This work describes the design and analysis of a 22 circular micro-strip patch antenna array on a FR-4 epoxy substrate. The thickness of the substrate is 1.6 mm, and it is used in a variety of applications, including RADAR and radio frequency identification. The task involves creating a 22 circular microstrip patch antenna array that resonates at 2.4GHz and simulating it for use in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications. An FR-4 Epoxy substrate is used to create a circular patch antenna array, which is then supplied using microstrip feed lines. A manufactured antenna has a 1.187GHz resonance. The analysis of antenna parameters includes gain, return loss, VSWR, directivity, reflection coefficient, and radiation pattern. In comparison to a 2x2 rectangular microstrip patch antenna, a 2x2 circular microstrip patch antenna generates better gain and less return loss. It is more helpful for WSN applications than a rectangular array due to its small size and improved directivity.

Published: August 2022

Water erosion is a complicated phenomenon that contributes to soil degradation and is linked to natural and anthropogenic causes that are difficult to manage in time and space. It has a significant impact on our country and necessitates a number of studies and efforts to prevent and manage it. Geospatial approaches (GIS tools and remote sensing (RS) data) were used to test the RUSLE strategy in the Joumouaa watershed, where it was found to be accurate. The latter is a mountainous range with a 60 km² area that is part of the Western Prérif and in the Teroual region (northern Morocco). The proposed technique integrates the RUSLE for calculating erosion with geospatial techniques for detecting variables that cause water erosion and soil loss. The erosivity factor R had a range of values, with an average of 1832.76 to 1968.87. It was shown that soils had an erodibility factor k of 0.016 to 0.0245, which indicates that they are the most vulnerable. With the upstream being rougher and more sensitive, the LS factor ranged from O and more than 43%. According to the nature of the land, there are different C factors. Water erosion affects all regions of the basin to varying degrees, depending on the processes that cause erosion. The results show that the soils in the Joumouaa watershed are medium to highly erodible, with maximum erodibility ranging from 50 to 280 t/h/year, a sparse plant covers with little protection, and moderate to high climatic aggressiveness. An understanding of the danger of soil erosion may be gained from this study, as well as a guide for land management techniques and land planning that can be used to construct a decision support tool in terms of natural resource management.

The groundwater is an intrinsic and vital capital for providing water supplies in rural and urban areas. Climate change poses a strong threat to the world; especially in Iraq is considering one of the arid and semi-arid regions. The climatic changes lead to an increase in the demand for groundwater, especially with low rainfall and an increase in the population. It is very important to model groundwater potential for the sub-basin. This paper aims to produce a map defining the potential groundwater zones of the Shwan sub-basin. By Geographic Information System and remote sensing data, the required data or six factors (geology, elevations, slope, drainage density, soil, and land uses/land covers) are available to be collected through weighted overlay for creating groundwater potential map. The result was five zones for groundwater potential from very low towards the eastern parts and also end of the western boundary to very high towards the western parts of the sub-basin. The geological formations of the sub-basin such as conglomerate, low elevations, low slope and low drainage density consider as high groundwater potential zones.

Published: August 2022

In government organizations, demands for quality improvement and the use of information technology in services are unavoidable due to the expansion of globalization. Through improving employee performance during dynamic environmental changes, organizations can make this happen. This study aims to determine and analyze employee performance by looking at the effects of transformational leadership, employee engagement, and employee readiness to change. The respondents of this study were 73 employees at BPSDM Kumham who were selected by the purposive sampling method. The research method used is quantitative with data collection techniques through questionnaires—data analysis using Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) 3.0. The study results conclude that transformational leadership and employee engagement have a positive but not significant effect on employee performance. However, transformational leadership and employee engagement have a positive and significant effect on readiness to change. Readiness to change was found to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance and is a full mediator between the relationship between transformational leadership on employee performance and employee engagement on employee performance. Changes that occur both inside and outside the organization will not have an impact on employee performance if they have equipped themselves with the various competencies needed to carry out their work.
