Стаття присвячена розробленню чутливого та високоспецифічного засобу діагностики вірусної геморагічної хвороби кролів (ВГХК, RHDV). Діагностику захворювання виконували комплексно з урахуванням епізоотологічних даних, клінічного прояву, патологоанатомічних змін та дослідження біологічного матеріалу від загиблих кролів в реакції гемаглютинації (РГА) та зворотно- транскриптазній полімеразній ланцюговій реакції (ЗТ -ПЛР). Летальність захворювання для кролів різних вікових груп починалася від 1 місяця. Клінічна картина характеризувалася в більшості випадків раптовою загибеллю тварин, у деяких відмічали носову кровотечу. На розтині спостерігали явище геморагічного діатезу та ураження печінки. Для дослідження відбирали печінку кролів, готували суспензію гомогенату та досліджували в РГА з еритроцитами людини О-групи крові. Для уточнення діагнозу проводили ЗТ-ПЛР, для чого були розроблені та штучно синтезовані олігонуклеотидні праймери, специфічні до гена VP1 (VP60) – основного капсидного білку вірусу геморагічної хвороби кролів, які забезпечують синтез фрагмента ДНК розміром 325 пар нуклеотидів. Реакція ЗТ-ПЛР виконувалася 35 циклами за умови відпалу праймерів при температурі 60oС. Аналіз результату ЗТ-ПЛР проводили в 1,5 % гелі агарози з інтеркалятором - бромистим етидієм. Результати оцінювали при перегляді гелю після елекрофорезу під УФ-світлом за наявністю (чи відсутністю) червоно- помаранчевих фрагментів нуклеїнової кислоти певного розміру (325 п.н.). Специфічність ампліфікованого фрагмента ДНК визначали за його розміром по відношенню до фрагментів стандартних маркерів ДНК.

Дослідженнями встановлено, що РГА не забезпечує достатній рівень чутливості та специфічності. ЗТ-ПЛР дає можливість достовірно підтвердити наявність у матеріалі рибонуклеїнової кислоти ВГХК, проте використана пара праймерів визначає видову належність, але не генотип збудника. Ізоляти ВГХК виділено з матеріалів від кролів приватних господарств Сумської, Черкаської, Полтавської, Київської та Харківської областей.
ФОЛІКУЛОГЕНЕЗ В ЯЄЧНИКАХ ЄНОТОВИДНІ СОБАКИ В УМОВАХ РАДІАЦІЙНОГО ВПЛИВУ

Published: May 2020

Метою досліджень було визначення морфологічних змін яєчників у єнотовидних собак у віковому аспекті і в залежності від місця існування (з різною щільністю радіоактивного забруднення території та обліком зняття антропогенного навантаження). Наукових робіт, присвячених вивченню морфології яєчників у єнотовидних собак в зоні відчуження (30 км зона від Чорнобильської АЕС), в світі вченими не проводилося. Тому наші оригінальні дослідження є актуальними для поняття морфогенезу статевого апарату у ссавців в зоні зняття антропогенного

навантаження і при дії на організм радіоактивного забруднення. В результаті проведених досліджень встановлено, що в яєчниках самок єнотовидних собак, що мешкають на менш забрудненій радіонуклідами території, відзначено зменшення частки коркового речовини, в якому виявлено знижений вміст фолікулів, пов'язане з підвищеною загибеллю розвиваються фолікулів на різних етапах їх розвитку. У єнотовидних собак, що мешкають в ареалі з підвищеним вмістом радіонуклідів, відзначається збільшення частки коркового речовини і незначний вміст атретіческіх фолікулів (зі слабо вираженою дегенерацією фолікулярного епітелію і текальнимі клітин) в яєчниках, що свідчить про більш низькому виснаженні репродуктивного потенціалу самок в популяціях тварин, що мешкають в зоні відчуження. Дані морфофункціональні зміни можуть бути однією з головних причин підвищення чисельності єнотовидного собаки на спостережуваної території. Вікове дослідження гістології яєчників єнотовидних собак показало, що ці органи диференційовані на коркова і мозкова речовини, де спостерігається інтенсивний фолікулогенез з наявністю процесу атрезії. У зоні підвищеного радіаційного впливу атрезія фолікулів в яєчниках єнотовидних собак знижується, однак у віковому аспекті - навпаки: процес посилюється, причому більш стійкими до дегенеративних змін були покояться фолікули. Підвищена елімінація генеративних структур яєчників може розглядатися двояко: і як результат деструктивних впливів на репродуктивну функцію, і, в той же час, як результат адаптивних можливостей популяції (елімінація генетично дефектних

статевих клітин, спрямована на захист генофонду популяції).
Effect of Ag loading position on the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 nanocolumn arrays
Authors: Xu Jinghan , Liu Yanqi , Zhao Yan
Published: May 2020

Plasmonic metal/semiconductor composites have attracted great attention for efficient solar energy harvesting in photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications owing to their extremely high visible-light absorption and tuned effective band gap. In this work, Ag-loaded TiO2 nanocolumn (Ag-TNC) arrays were fabricated based on anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by combining atomic layer deposition (ALD) and vacuum evaporation. The effects of the Ag loading position and deposition thickness, and the morphology, structure and composition of Ag-deposited TNC arrays on its optical and photocatalytic properties were studied. The Ag-filled TiO2 (AFT) nanocolumn arrays exhibited higher removal efficiency of methylene blue (MB) compared with Ag-coated TiO2 (ACT) nanocolumn arrays and pure TiO2 nanocolumns arrays. Both experimental and theoretical simulation results demonstrated that the enhanced photocatalytic performance of AFT nanocolumn arrays was attributed to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag and the absorption of light by TiO2. These results represent a promising step forward to the development of high-performance photocatalysts for energy conversion and storage.
Production of milk and dairy products in Ukraine: trends and prospects
Authors: LIAKHOVSKA Olena
Published: May 2020

The dairy industry is one of the important components of the food industry in Ukraine. Significant dynamic and structural changes in the procurement, processing and foreign trade of milk and dairy products have been observed in recent years. Further prospects for the development of the dairy industry are formed under the influence of a decrease in agricultural harvesting of milk, a decrease in the volume of deep processing of milk (production of butter and cheese), changes in foreign trade.
It is important to study the current state of the dairy industry and identify trends in its further development.
The tendencies of milk procurement by agricultural enterprises and households of Ukraine are investigated. Over the years milk production in agriculture has been dynamically diminishing, with a shift to entrepreneurial forms of dairy farming. It has been noted that the decrease in milk production volume in recent years has influenced the dynamics of industrial production of dairy products. In particular, in recent years the production of cheese and butter has decreased significantly, and milk production has been characterized by unstable trends. The general characteristics of Ukraine's foreign trade in milk and dairy products are presented. In recent years, the value of the export-to-import ratio has been positive for most dairy products. Over the last year (2018), exports of butter, condensed milk and cream, condensed milk and cream and whey prevailed in Ukraine. At the same time, they imported more cheese and butter, fermented or fermented milk and cream. The main part of the exported dairy products was export of butter and milk and cream condensed, imported mainly cheese.
It is established that the main problem of the dairy industry today is the low level of milk production. Therefore, financial and investment processes should be stimulated to build farms and increase livestock production at enterprises to offset losses from reduced milk production by households. At the same time, it is necessary to encourage deep processing of milk, in particular the production of butter (main export product) and cheese (to avoid import dependence).

The article examines the concepts of costs, their economic content, determines the factors of influence on the costs of the enterprise in Ukraine. A number of cost classifications proposed by different authors are investigated and their peculiarity is determined. The main ways to optimize the costs of enterprises. Author's classification of costs is suggested. The main directions of cost optimization of Ukrainian enterprises are given. Adequate research will help solve a number of cost-cutting problems for dairy businesses and other sectors of the national economy.
The purpose of the paper is the substantiation of measures to improve cost management in the enterprise in order to increase its effective activity.
Costs and optimization of their level per unit of production is an important factor in improving the efficiency of the enterprise, while at the same time improving its competitiveness. Managers and managers are increasingly paying attention to the efficiency of resource use, their rational allocation in order to reduce the costs of production and economic activity, which, as a reserve for increasing the profitability of such activities is the key to financial stability and development of the enterprise
Thus, considering the different classifications of factors that affect costs, it is important to emphasize that there is a synergistic effect. This is due to the fact that by influencing the competitiveness of products, factors change each other. High competitiveness of the enterprise is a guarantee of high profit in market conditions. In doing so, the company aims to achieve a level of competitiveness that will help it to function effectively over a long period. Management of the factors provided provides for the use of a number of measures for the systematic improvement of products, the constant search for new channels of sales, new customer groups, ways to improve service, advertising and more.
Methods for analyzing the quality of a banks loan portfolio
Authors: BELIKOVA Tetiana , PUSHKINA Marharyta
Published: May 2020

Lending is one of the major banking institutions. But lending has some risks of varying degrees. The main purpose of banks is to repay loans and to maximize profits. To do this, banks need to implement an efficient, flexible and modern credit portfolio quality management system. An important element of this system is the analysis of the quality of the loan portfolio. That is why the consideration of the methods by which banks can carry out this analysis is a very actual topic.
The purpose of this paper is to review methods of analyzing the quality of a bank's loan portfolio, as well as to outline the disadvantages and benefits of each method.
The paper examines the most common and modern approaches to defining the concept of «bank loan portfolio». The types of loan portfolio are considered. The definition of the quality of the bank loan portfolio is given. The definition of bank credit portfolio management is given and the basic elements of credit portfolio management are given. The main methods to be used in assessing the quality of a bank's loan portfolio are identified. They are divided into three groups: methods of expert judgment, statistical and analytical methods. A more detailed description of the methods in the three groups listed above is given. The rating method, the «Decision Tree» method, coefficient analysis, Monte Carlo method, scoring, correlation-regression analysis, taxonomic analysis and stress testing are characterized. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are also given. Indicators to assess the quality of the bank's loan portfolio are considered: the credit portfolio risk indicators and the profitability of credit operations.
After the study, it was concluded that the above methods of analysis of the quality of the loan portfolio should be applied comprehensively. It is determined that currently the banks of Ukraine do not use the whole analytical set of methods, but choose for themselves several and constantly use them in the analysis of the quality of the loan portfolio. In order to ensure effective management of the bank's credit portfolio, it is necessary to constantly monitor the quality of the bank's credit portfolio for early detection of credit risk and its prevention, as well as for detection of deterioration of profitability indicators.

RURAL TEMPORARY MIGRANT WORKERS: ADJUSTMENT AND INTEGRATION IN PORTUGAL
Authors: Sousa Cátia , Rodrigues Miguel , Figueiredo Luciano , Gonçalves Gabriela
Published: May 2020

This study aimed to analyze the main adjustment difficulties encountered by temporary immigrants and to identify the ways in which organizations received them and implemented integration strategies. Using a sample of three human resource managers, six supervisors and 50 immigrants of varying nationalities, the results revealed that although immigrants claimed to feel largely integrated in the new society and the organizations where they worked, the supervisors argued that integration and adjustment practices directed at immigrant workers were almost non-existent. The practices carried out by the organizations were primarily related to the work aspect, alongside a degree of support with bureaucratic issues and in some cases the provision of Portuguese language courses. Studies on rural immigrants are scarce, especially with regard to organizational integration practices. Managing a diverse workforce is one of the great challenges of modern organizations, hence immigrant workers’ integration is critical not only for the individuals themselves but also for the performance and success of the companies as a whole.

As representações sociais das homolesbotransfobias sob a perspectiva das juventudes: o contexto escolar em ação
Authors: Miranda Guilherme Franco , Villarroel Márcia Amaral Corrêa Ughini
Published: May 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as representações sociais das homolesbotransfobias no espaço escolar. Na escola, a homofobia e os preconceitos a ela associados – como um conjunto de crenças, atitudes e comportamentos negativos atribuídos ao público LGBTQI – se expressam por meio de agressões verbais e/ou físicas a que estão sujeitos estudantes que resistem a se adequar à heteronormatividade. A metodologia foi um estudo de caso com aplicação de instrumento denominado Escala de Preconceito contra Diversidade Sexual de Gênero (EPDSG) – em uma Escola Estadual da Microrregião 8 de Porto Alegre/RS – que resultou em três categorias: normatizações, sexualização lésbico e transfobia. A análise dos resultados concebe as representações sociais como um processo socialmente construído pelos sujeitos nas suas interações cotidianas, enquanto atuam na realidade, mostrando a exclusão e marginalização dos indivíduos que não “se adéquam” a esses estereótipos.

Partners in the Stimulus Community Partnership Program (PKMS) are RT 08 RW 02 Pantai Raja Village, Perhentian Raja District, Kampar Regency. This partner group has a business as a catfish breeder (Clarias sp.). Catfish hatchery efforts in Pantai Raja Village have started 8 years ago.  However, there are problems faced by catfish farmers, namely catfish attacked by diseases and death such as fungal diseases, white spots on the body of the fish. This is thought to be caused by water quality that is not good (poisonous) as well as a lot of residual fish residue at the bottom of the pond. Based on this, the team from the Stimulus Community Partnership Program (PKMS) Muhammadiyah University of Riau (UMRI) has conducted mentoring and monitoring activities to help resolve problems from partners. The forms of activities that have been carried out are socialization and training in aquaponics making. Based on discussions with participants during the socialization and training, it can be seen that participants' knowledge of good aquaponics is felt to be very lacking.

In the village of Tarandam Nagari Siguntur Tua, there is a group of MSME. The community prefers to go to the garden to make a living for the family rather than participate in an activity that is not or less profitable and does not get money in return. Even though if the activities of MSME run optimally, the community can make it as a place for entrepreneurship by utilizing available natural resources, so as to improve the family's economy. Entrepreneurship is an additional alternative part of the activities of MSME so that it is more useful and has added value to families and communities in the Old Siguntur Old Age. So, it is necessary to provide motivation and foster entrepreneurial spirit to the MSME group in Old Agate Siguntur.

National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Bandung records that there are  25,000 young people in Bandung who are drug users. Based on the results of interviews with ten prisoners said they often feel bored, stressed, depressed, sad and hopeless. Based on this phenomenon it was necessary to support rehabilitation programs for drug addicts through therapy with a spiritual approach. A  spiritual approach is Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) therapy, which is a combination of Spiritual Power and Energy. The results of the activity showed that the participants were able to do self-healing using the SEFT method, which was felt to be effective in helping participants manage emotional and spiritual problems during the prison, evidenced by an increase in the percentage of self-control ability and a positive effect, while anxiety and depression decrease. Participants also experienced an increase in the percentage of positive religious coping. Therefore, prisons are advised to keep monitoring self-healing activities with SEFT which is recommended to be routinely carried out by rehabilitation participants even though the program has finished, because at any time the participants' mental and spiritual health conditions may change.

Published: May 2020

Bu çalışmada Orta Çağ dünyasını uzunca bir süre işgal eden tümeller probleminin ele alınması amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için öncelikle bu problemin üç merkezi Orta Çağ düşünürü düzleminden hareketle genel gerçekliğin varlığını veya yokluğunu ele alarak şeylerin evrensel özlerle ilişkisini açıklama gayretlerini ortaya koymak önemlidir. Her ne kadar bu problemle birlikte Ockhamlı William anılır olsa da erken dönem Skolastik döneme etkilerinden dolayı Peter Abelard’ın incelenmesi ardından da çağdaş dünyanın Orta Çağ felsefesini anlamalarında muazzam etkisi olan Thomas Aquinas ve sonrasında tüm bunların birleştiği veya beraber anıldığı Ockhamlı William’ı incelememiz gerekir. Son olarak ta Orta Çağ Skolastik felsefesindeki tümeller problemini merkeze alan düşüncelerin aslında göründüğü kadar açık olmadığını ve bu yüzden incelenmesinin gerekliliğini söyleyebiliriz.

THE INTERPLAY OF BILINGUALISM, EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS AND CREATIVITY IN PROBLEM SOLVING AMONG MALE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Leikin Mark , Tovli Esther , Woldo Anna
Published: May 2020

The present study explores the interplay among bilingualism, executive functions and creativity in problem solving among
adult male university students. In this context, the associations between two factors critical for understanding the topic, i.e. type of
bilingualism (i.e. balanced versus non-balanced bilingualism) and type of creative thinking (i.e. convergent versus divergent thinking) are
examined, as well. 28 Russian/Hebrew/English trilinguals (balanced Russian/Hebrew bilinguals), and 25 non-balanced Hebrew/English bilinguals
participated in the study. All participants performed several standard tasks on executive functions (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Eriksen
flanker task, digit span test, Corsi block-tapping test) and two tests on creativity: Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (Figural Form A)
and Remote Associates Test (in appropriate languages). The findings showed that the Russian-speaking participants performed better on the
Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, particularly in flexibility and fluency measures. On the Remote Associates Test, balanced bilinguals
outperformed non-balanced bilinguals in the English version and exhibited the same results in the Hebrew version of the test. In this case,
there were significant correlations between the Remote Associates Test results in all three languages in the Russian group. Thus, balanced
bilingualism seems to be also characterized by a well-organized language system in which all of the individual’s languages are interconnected.
This appears to be a significant factor in the performance of balanced bilinguals on the Remote Associates Test in the different languages.
In addition, the findings seem to confirm the hypothesis that balanced bilingualism positively influences divergent thinking. The hypothesis
that performance of bilinguals on creativity tasks is linked to distinctions in the development of their executive functions was not confirmed.

Similarities and differences in terms of the geometry used in De Stijl and Bauhaus product designs
Authors: Cvetkovski Antonio , Sidorenko Sofija
Published: May 2020

As a fundamental science of forms and their order, geometry contributes to the process of composing and designing of products. Geometry is able to make a contribution to these processes by dealing with the geometric figures and forms as design elements as well as the relations between them. Finding the general principles of successfully combining those elements was a research aim of many designers, such as those in the modernist era. Influencing the industrial design in a revolutionary way, the Modernism became significant artistic movement of the 20th century, thus giving us the most iconic and timeless product designs.
In this scientific paper, the relationship between geometry and design in the Modernism is described and explored through examples, with emphasis placed on De Stijl and Bauhaus products. Direct comparison is applied, focusing on the similarities and differences in the products’ geometry. Learning about the geometry and how it relates to the designs is not to be used as a substitute for the creative process, but rather as a means of obtaining a deeper understanding of it.

From city quarter with urban villas, yard houses and pittoresque ambient values, Debar Maalo in Skopje in recent time, is turning into a construction site of the intense rise of the building mass and filling in on every potential void, where the typology of multifamily residential buildings is dominant.
But, can it be different? The marginalized forms of single-family housing, once a dominant lifestyle in Debar Maalo, single family yard houses, houses with ground contact are the remains of a passed image of this city quarter that should be the referent milieu of this research. This typology of a low-rise residential structure, should represent the renovation tactics of the the single-family dwelling in this part of the city of Skopje. The creation process of the new urban landscape of housing with characteristics of a dense and low-rise structure will be through the forward two stages: analysis and design. The location of interest will be analysed through architectural project of a housing block with the typology of a low-rise housing structure that should provide high urban density of 120 houses per hectare. The suggested typology of the housing structure should provide housing that will meet the new lifestyles and will achieve diversity of the houses according to their size, structure, and comfort.
This thesis should refer to the idea of rethinking and reminiscing on the elementary architectural city image, low rise housing structure typology as a building type at the level of the morphology of the city of Skopje.
A narrative approach to a fiscal DSGE model
Authors: Drautzburg Thorsten
Published: May 2020

Structural DSGE models are used for analyzing both policy and the sources of business cycles. Conclusions based on full structural models are, however, potentially affected by misspecification. A competing method is to use partially identified SVARs based on narrative shocks. This paper asks whether both approaches agree. Specifically, I use narrative data in a DSGE‐SVAR that partially identify policy shocks in the VAR and assess the fit of the DSGE model relative to this narrative benchmark. In developing this narrative DSGE‐SVAR, I develop a tractable Bayesian approach to proxy VARs and show that such an approach is valid for models with a certain class of Taylor rules. Estimating a DSGE‐SVAR based on a standard DSGE model with fiscal rules and narrative data, I find that the DSGE model identification is at odds with the narrative information as measured by the marginal likelihood. I trace this discrepancy to differences in impulse responses, identified historical shocks and policy rules. The results indicate monetary accommodation of fiscal shocks.
Consumption insurance with advance information
Authors: Stoltenberg Christian A. , Singh Swapnil
Published: May 2020

This paper investigates whether assuming that households possess advance information on their income shocks helps to overcome the difficulty of standard models to understand consumption insurance in the US. As our main result, we find that the quantitative relevance of advance information crucially depends on the structure of insurance markets. For a realistic amount of advance information, a complete markets model with endogenous solvency constraints due to limited commitment explains several key consumption insurance measures better than existing models without advance information. In contrast, when advance information is integrated into a standard incomplete markets model, it affects household consumption‐saving decisions too little to bridge the gap between the model and the data and can induce counterfactual correlations between current consumption growth and future income growth.
Teaching Professional Integrity: An Empirical Study on Engineering Students
Authors: Stelios Spyridon , Christodoulou Alexandros
Published: May 2020

In higher education there seems to be a ‘gap’ between the levels of undergraduate student expectation of being confronted by ethical issues in engineering work, and the amount of effective ethics education. Within this context, the purpose of this empirical research is to investigate engineering students’ views on two issues: a) How vital professional ethics are in their field, and b) whether they believe that professional ethics must be a part of the syllabus in their School. Findings indicate that teachers should make special reference to and strongly emphasize in class the value of an engineer's ethical responsibility. Furthermore, they need to spend a number of teaching hours on tackling problems in professional ethics as well as organize conferences, workshops, lectures and discussions, where the main speakers would be experienced engineers and academics. This way the technical and technological education incorporates more the responsibility of building professional integrity that can guarantee the much needed social goods of progress and prosperity, along with safety.
Simulation of Intrinsic Defects and Cd Site Occupation in LaIn3 and LuIn3
Authors: Zacate Matthew O. , Bevington John P. , Collins Gary Scott
Published: May 2020

In previous work, perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy (PAC) was used to determine jump rates of 111Cd, the daughter of the 111In radiotracer, in the series of phases RIn3 (R = rare-earth element) through nuclear quadrupole relaxation. Greater relaxation, indicating faster Cd jump rates, was observed in heavy rare-earths for compositions more deficient in indium, as would be expected for diffusion mediated by vacancies on the In sublattice. On the other hand, greater relaxation was observed for light rare-earths (R = La, Ce, and Pr) for compositions with excess indium, suggesting Cd diffusion is mediated there by a different mechanism. In this work, computer simulations were carried out to better understand the nature of the relaxation observed for the light rare-earths and the origin of the change in behavior across the rare-earth series. As a first step, formation enthalpies of intrinsic defects were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) for series end-members LaIn3 and LuIn3. Both compounds were found to exhibit Schottky thermal disorder. Additional DFT simulations show that the binding enthalpy between In-and R-vacancies is larger in LaIn3 than in LuIn3, suggesting that diffusion in LaIn3 might be mediated by divacancies. Site enthalpies of Cd also were calculated, and it was found more favorable energetically for Cd to occupy the In sublattice than the R sublattice in both end-member phases.
Development of New Wrought Mg Alloys: Improving the Corrosion Resistance by Addition of Alloying Elements
Authors: Ben Hamu Guy , Metalnikov Polina
Published: May 2020

Magnesium (Mg) alloys constitute an attractive structural material for transportation industries, due to their low density and high strength/weight ratio. However, high susceptibility to corrosion of Mg alloys limits their use. Therefore, there is a growing interest for development of new Mg alloys with good mechanical properties and superior corrosion resistance. Production of wrought Mg alloys results in enhancement of mechanical properties, whereas addition of alloying elements may result in improved corrosion behavior. In this study we distinguish the role of aluminum, zinc, tin and calcium additions on the corrosion performance of new wrought Mg alloys. Overall, addition of alloying elements resulted in precipitation of second phase particles with cathodic behavior (relatively to Mg matrix). This enhanced the micro-galvanic effects and the corrosion resistance in short periods of immersion was deteriorated. However, in longer periods of immersion the passive characteristics of the oxide layer played a significant role in improving the alloys' corrosion resistance. The contribution of each element to the oxide layer will be discussed in detail. In general, the quantities of alloying element should be sufficient to stabilize the corrosion products layer; yet as low as possible, in order to reduce the micro-galvanic effects.

The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the influence of the thickness and thermophysical properties of insulating materials on the maximum external surface temperature and energy gain provided for an intermittent ceramic kiln operating with natural gas as fuel. To evaluate the influence of independent variables on response variables, a factorial experimental design was developed. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was possible to determine significant and well-adjusted mathematical models for both response variables. It was verified that the thickness and thermal conductivity of thermal insulation are the independent variables that have the greatest influence on the process efficiency.

At present, our world is facing environmental issues, which is an increasing amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by the Portland cement (OPC) production. To reduce that carbon dioxide emissions, some researchers have studied the alternative cementitious materials to replace the consumption of OPC, and geopolymer is one of the choices. Geopolymer cement (GP), a green technique for construction material, was applied for the road constructions by using Crushed rock (CR-the typical pavement material) as a starting material of geopolymer synthesis. The results showed that the optimum mixture to achieve both properties and economic aspect was 5M of NaOH concentration, 1.0 SS/SH ratio, 0.5 L/B ratio cured at room temperature. With that mixture, it passed the target compressive strength of Cement-treated base (CTB) for pavement (2.1-5.5 MPa) as well as achieving the CO2 reduction of 45.23% when compared to ordinary Portland cement.
Synthesis, Preparation and Characterization of Amine-Induced Bacterial Cellulose-Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Semi-Interpenetrating Network Hydrogel
Authors: Arikibe Joachim Emeka , Lata Roselyn , Rohindra David
Published: May 2020

Bacterial cellulose (BC) was synthesized using Gluconacetobacter xylinus (BCRC 14182). Synthesized BC was powdered and dissolved in Bis(ethylenediamine) copper (II) hydroxide (Cuen) solution to introduce the amine (NH2) group onto the BC network to yield modified BC (mBC) which was then blended with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and subsequently crosslinked with genipin (Gp). Pristine, modified and crosslinked hydrogels were studied using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and swelling behavior in water. FTIR revealed a distortion on the BC network chain via a reduction in the absorption of OH peak of mBC and the emergence of peaks at 1587 and 1560 cm-1 attributed to N-H stretching of the induced NH2 group. SEM confirmed the 3-D fibril and porous structure of BC which became distorted after modification and crosslinking. The hydrogels showed equilibrium water content of 86.5%, 67.5%, 66.7% and 33.0 % for BC, PVA, mBC-PVA and mBC-PVA-Gp, respectively. The decreased swelling in mBC-PVA-Gp indicated that genipin was able to crosslink the modified BC.

Authors: Raksujarit Anirut , Punyanitya Sittiporn
Published: May 2020

This paper deals with the development of button made from a hydroxyapatite (HA) and bioglass composite. The HA powder derived from the bovine bone were added 2.5 and 5 wt% of P2O5-CaO-Na2O-bases glass and subsequently sintered at 1200 - 1350 °C to form the HA ceramics. It was observed that the densest HA ceramic could be achieved for the sample composed of hydroxyapatite with the addition of 5 wt% of bioglass and sintered at 1300°C, resulting in the maximum value of bending strength of about 77 MPa, which ensured the use in load bearing applications of this HA ceramic. The HA and 5 wt% bioglass composite is designed as a button for reattach the bone flap after a craniotomy procedure. Each device is comprised of an inner plate and an outer plate. The fabrication processing was used the powder compression and then sintering at 1300°C for 3 h. The button have fracture toughness (K1C) values of 1.3±0.1 MPa.m1/2 and bending strength of 65.7±3.8 MPa. The liquid phase sintering of this sample contributed to the high mechanical properties that can be use as craniotomy flap fixation.

Published: May 2020

In this study, the graphene was prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and then through thermal annealing technique it was firmly coated on and partly diffused into the inner surfaces of journal bearings made from aluminum bronze CuAl10Fe3. The journal bearings without graphene coatings were also prepared with made from aluminum bronze CuAl10Fe3 and tested under the same conditions as the references of comparison. Through frequent start-stop test, the changing laws of coefficient of friction (COF), power consumption, and back temperature rise and wear loss for each journal bearing with or without graphene coating were obtained. The test results showed that graphene coating could significantly reduce the power consumption and wear loss during the start and stop phases.

Published: May 2020

AbstractReliable performance is the key requirement for deep ocean wave measurement buoys as failures lead to loss of data and expensive reinstallations. From more than 0.37 million demanding offshore wave measurement buoy-hours, the data returns from the buoys operating
in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea were 88% and 95%, respectively. The mean time between failures of the buoys was 1.8 years in the Bay of Bengal and 3.8 years in the Arabian Sea, and the mean time to restore was 90 and 68 days, respectively. The offshore failure events, the technical
developments for improving the performance, and the strategies adopted to mitigate the failures are presented in detail. The significance of the technical features incorporated for improving the reliability of the wave measurement buoy subsystems is quantitatively represented through fault
tree modeling and simulations based on standards and the field failure data.
