Damage Detection of Irregular Plates and Regular Dams by Wavelet Transform Combined Adoptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System
Authors: Hamidian D. , Salajegheh J. , Salajegheh E.
Published: March 2018

This paper presents a technique for irregular plate and regular dam damage detection based on combination of wavelet with adoptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Many damage detection methods need response of structures (such as the displacements, stresses or mode shapes) before and after damage, but this method only requires response of structures after damage, otherwise many damage detection methods study regular plate but this method also studies irregular plate. First, the structure (irregular plate or regular dam) is modelled by using ANSYS software, the model is analysed and structure’s responses with damage are obtained by finite element approach. Second, the responses at the finite element points with regular distances are obtained by using ANFIS. The damage zone is represented as the elements with reduced elasticity modules. Then these responses of structures are analysed with 2D wavelet transform. It is shown that matrix detail coefficients of 2D wavelet transform can specified the damage zone of plates and regular dams by perturbation in the damaged area.

Authors: Alnadish Adham Mohammed , Aman Yusri Mohamad
Published: March 2018

This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of reducing the thickness of asphalt layer as a novel solution for the high density of asphalt layer incorporated with steel slag aggregate, which increase the cost of transportation. Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design (MEPDG) approach was employed to evaluate the benefits of introducing polyvinyl alcohol fiber in terms of reducing the thickness of asphalt layer as well as the extension service life of asphalt layer. On the other hand, the correlation between creep strain slope (CSS) and secant creep stiffness modulus (SCSM) were assessed to provide a better evaluation and understanding concerning of the outputs of the dynamic creep test. The findings of this study showed that introducing polyvinyl alcohol fiber into the mixtures at the optimum content (0.5 kg/ton) have reduced the thickness of asphalt layer by approximately 10%. Additionally, polyvinyl alcohol fiber has increased the performance of the asphalt mixtures concerning of resilient modulus and dynamic creep. Furthermore, the correlation between CSS and SCSM was strong, which indicates that evaluation of permanent deformation using CSS and SCSM parameters provides better actual assessment than accumulation strain.

Si continua aumentando el ingreso, la familia estabiliza su consumo de alimentos y cada vez destina una proporción menor del ingreso a alimentos. Cuando las familias satisfacen sus necesidades de alimentos, el mercado de éstos crece al ritmo de la población, o se exporta.Ante esto las unidades de producción agropecuarias compiten por ganar mercado y expanden su producción mediante un crecimiento extensivo: más superficie cultivada y más cabezas de ganado; un crecimiento intensivo: más rendimiento por hectárea y más productividad por animal, y un cambio de producción: producir más de lo que más vale. El objetivo de esta investigación es medir y mostrar que el sector agropecuario mexicano de 1980-2010 ha transitado de una agricultura basada en cereales a una cuyos ejes dinámicos son la producción de carne, huevo, leche, hortalizas y frutas. Se determinaron tasas discretas en el periodo de análisis de los productos agrícolas para medir el crecimiento del ingreso real, superficie, rendimiento, el efecto composición y los precios. Para productos ganaderos se calcularon tasas discretas para el ingreso real, el inventario, la productividad animal y el impacto de los precios.

The Quality of the Websites of Agritourism Farms in Visegrad Group Countries in the Light of Selected Synthetic Measures
Authors: Król Karol
Published: March 2018

Subject and purpose of work: The aim of the work was to evaluate the quality of the websites of agritourism farms in the Visegrad Group countries. Materials and methods: Evaluation of website quality was based on selected “site authority” measures, from the so-called SEO metrics: Trust Rank, Moz Rank and Page Authority, as well as measurement of the selected performance parameters of websites. The research was conducted on a group of 400 websites of agritourism farms, whose addresses were obtained from selected web directories. Results: In the case of as many as 331 sites (approx. 83%) Trust Rank lower than 1 point was recorded. The majority of tested websites are characterised by an average value of the Moz Rank index and a low value of the Page Authority index. The average time taken to load the website in the browser window for the first time was about 2.7 seconds, with as many as 68 (17%) websites being loaded in over 5 seconds. Conclusions: The tested websites are characterised by low values of the authority index, which may indicate poor quality, poor visibility in search results and a lack of recommendations from other valuable sites. Low index values may also mean that, despite the global potential, the tested websites have a merely local impact. Their existence is known to a small number of people and their Internet visibility is negligible or nonexistent. Websites published in such a manner do not fulfil their function.

Keberlakuan Normatif Ketentuan Pidana Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2016 tentang Pengampunan Pajak
Authors: Hernawan Hernawan , Anshari Mihwar
Published: March 2018

Pada Tahun 2016, Pemerintah Indonesia membuat kebijakan pengampunan pajak dengan memakai instrumen undang-undang sebagai dasar hukumnya, yaitu Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2016 tentang Pengampunan Pajak. Pemerintah Indonesia membuat kebijakan pengampunan pajak karena pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional dalam beberapa tahun terakhir mengalami perlambatan, dan karena banyak harta Warga Negara Indonesia yang ditempatkan di luar wilayah Indonesia. Kebijakan Pengampunan Pajak dilakukan dalam bentuk pelepasan hak negara untuk menagih pajak yang seharusnya terutang. Oleh karena itu, sudah sewajarnya jika Wajib Pajak diwajibkan untuk membayar Uang Tebusan atas Pengampunan Pajak yang diperolehnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keberlakuan sanksi pidana dalam Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2016 tentang Pengampunan Pajak setelah tanggal 31 Maret 2017 tidak berlaku. Hal ini sesuai dengan asas perubahan perundang-undangan sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 1 ayat (2) KUHP. Sedangkan implikasi Ketentuan Pidana Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2016 tentang Pengampunan Pajak terhadap Penyidikan Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang, yang berlaku ialah ketentuan pidana yang diatur dalam UU Nomor 8 Tahun 2010 tentang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Pencucian Uang, karena mengatur lebih lengkap dan rinci dalam kerangka ketentuan pidana khusus. Hal ini diperkuat oleh Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 57/PUU-XIV/2016 tentang Uji Materi Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2016 tentang Pengampunan Pajak, yang menyatakan bahwa Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2016 tidak membebaskan peserta Pengampunan Pajak dari sanksi hukum lain di luar sanksi administrasi perpajakan dan sanksi pidana di bidang perpajakan.

O experimento foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho de codornas poedeiras alimentadas com rações contendo 21 e 24% de proteína bruta, três balanços eletrolíticos (200, 275 e 350 mEq/ kg de ração) e duas formas de aumento de balanço eletrolítico (potássio e sódio + potássio). Foram utilizadas 720 codornas com 120 dias de idade, durante 84 dias, subdivididos em quatro períodos de 21 dias, em dois ensaios distribuídos em delineamento em blocos ao acaso com seis repetições e dez aves por unidade experimental. Foram avaliados três níveis de balanço eletrolítico e a inclusão de duas fontes de cátions na ração. A comparação das médias foi realizada pelo teste de Student Newman-Keuls (SNK) e pelo teste F (5%). Para o nível de 21% de proteína bruta, a adição de carbonato de potássio (K2CO3) proporcionou aumento na massa de ovos. Para o nível de 24%, os resultados mostraram que a adição conjunta de carbonato de potássio e carbonato de sódio (K2CO3 + Na2CO3) apresentaram melhor taxa de postura, massa de ovos, consumo de ração e conversão alimentar. Independentemente do nível de proteína utilizado, os melhores resultados foram obtidos com 200 mEq/ kg de ração.

Published: March 2018

O experimento foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho dos leitões nascidos de porcas que tiveram o parto induzido. Foram utilizadas 33 fêmeas de linhagens comerciais com ordem de parto entre 2 e 7, as quais foram distribuídas em dois blocos, entre segundo e quarto parto (bloco 1) e entre o quinto e sétimo parto (bloco 2). Para o tratamento foram utilizadas 16 fêmeas que tiveram parto induzido com 75μg D- cloprostenol via submucosa vulvar. Para o grupo controle do experimento foram utilizadas 17 fêmeas que pariram naturalmente. A indução do parto foi realizada aos 114 dias de gestação. As leitegadas foram pesadas ao nascimento, aos 07 dias, aos 14 dias, aos 21 dias e aos 28 dias no desmame. A indução teve efeito significativo no peso individual dos leitões nascidos de parto induzido, sendo 162 g mais leves (p≤0,022) que os nascidos de parto natural, no peso individual aos 07 dias foram 332 g mais leves (p≤0,027), no peso individual aos 21 dias, 505 g mais leves (p≤0,042) e uma tendência no peso individual a desmama em serem 515 g mais leves (p=0,058). A indução de parto diminui o peso individual dos leitões ao nascimento e durante o crescimento lactacional.

Published: March 2018

Spirulina platensis é uma microalga utilizada na alimentação, em função do seu elevado teor proteico. O objetivo do trabalho foi desenvolver uma barra de cereal enriquecida com S. platensis, com estabilidade microbiológica e características nutricionais e sensoriais satisfatórias. A barra de cereal foi enriquecida com 1, 3 e 6% de S. platensis. Foram realizadas análises químicas, microbiológicas, colorimétrica, sensorial e textura. A composição centesimal da barra mostrou que na concentração de 6% de S. platensis houve incremento no percentual de lipídios e proteínas. Análise microbiológica não apontou contaminação e a análise sensorial mostrou uma diminuição da aceitação global e da intenção de compra à medida que a concentração de S. platensis aumentou. Houve uma diminuição na luminosidade e na intensidade da cor, com o aumento da concentração de biomassa. Os dados obtidos para força máxima medida em Newton (N) indicam que para a amostra com 6% de S. platensis, o enriquecimento foi responsável pelo aumento da força máxima aplicada às amostras. Já a análise do Perfil de Textura (TPA) não apontou diferenças para os parâmetros avaliados. O enriquecimento da barra de cereal monstra um incremento proteico importante. A cor não foi bem aceita pelos provadores, mas o sabor não foi afetado Mudanças na formulação se fazem necessárias com a finalidade de melhorar a formulação do produto, pois o mesmo apresenta uma opção para a ingestão proteica.

Objetivou-se analisar o efeito de fungos na qualidade fisiológica de sementes de goiaba-serrana, e determinar os possíveis prejuízos no desenvolvimento inicial de mudas dessa espécie. Para análise fisiológica das sementes, foi realizado teste de germinação, a 25 ºC e fotoperíodo de 12 h, por 30 dias; sendo avaliadas a porcentagem e a velocidade de germinação. Inicialmente, as sementes foram subdivididas, sendo uma parte submetida à assepsia superficial com álcool 70%, hipoclorito de sódio 1% com posterior lavagem em água destilada e outra não. Para a avaliação das plântulas foi realizado teste de emergência de plântulas em viveiro, por 60 dias. Foram avaliadas a porcentagem de emergência, a massa verde e a massa seca de plântulas, e identificados os fungos. Os fungos interferiram na porcentagem de plântulas normais. Aspergillus sp., Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Fusarium sp., Penicillium sp. e Phomopsis sp. associam-se com sementes não germinadas de goiaba-serrana, sendo prejudiciais à sua qualidade fisiológica. C. gloeosporioides e Fusarium sp. são transmitidos de sementes para plântulas, causando lesões necróticas nos cotilédones e má formação de raízes respectivamente.

O objetivo do estudo atual foi analisar quatro modelos estatísticos usando inferência Bayesiana para descrever o ganho diário médio (g) (ADG) durante a seleção genética da Tilapia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus "GIFT"). O conjunto de dados foi composto por informações de 2.615 peixes, pertencentes a quarta geração (G4) do programa de melhoramento de peixes na estação de experimental de Floriano da Universidade Estadual de Maringá, município de Maringá, Paraná, Brasil. Nessas análises, consideramos um modelo animal em que o sexo foi o efeito fixo, os efeitos lineares e quadráticos da idade do peixe foram covariáveis em dias e os efeitos genéticos aditivos. Os modelos foram modificados com base na informação disponível de efeitos genéticos aditivos e ambientes comuns de larvicultura (c), alevinagem (w), ou nenhum deles. Os resultados para herdabilidade estimados para os modelos, M2 = 0,24 e M4 = 0,23 foram considerados médios e altos para M1 = 0,83 e M3 = 0,79. O critério de seleção no modelo DIC foi menor para o M1 com -282,59 e superior para M4 com 1754,57. Outro critério de seleção foi a densidade de registro marginal do fator Bayer que corrobora com o DIC apenas para o valor mais baixo em que M1 = 585,29. Menos esforços de computador para alcançar a convergência foram encontrados utilizando o modelo M1 com 15 mil cadeias, sendo o melhor modelo para explicar e prever o fenômeno.

Literatura modernista e literatura periférica: engajamentos intelectuais de representação e autorrepresentação
Authors: Oliveira Cleber José De
Published: March 2018

A Literatura Periférica (conhecida também como Vira-lata ou Marginal) é uma manifestação quase que exclusivamente produzida por escritores oriundos de periferias urbanas dos grandes centros. Partindo desse pressuposto, o presente trabalho busca descortinar como se manifestam às relações de representação e autorrepresentação nessa forma de narrativa em paralelo aos moldes utilizados pelos modernistas. Entende-se aqui que essa nova manifestação literária colide com a chamada Tradição Modernista, onde autores como Graciliano Ramos, Clarice Lispector, João Cabral, Guimarães Rosa, entre outros, pertencentes a classes sociais altamente letradas produziram uma literatura que tomou para si a função de representar as classes marginalizadas sobretudo o nordestino, o sertanejo e o negro favelado). Com o espraiamento dessa tradição, a função que desempenhava seus intelectuais (o de representante das classes subalternas) fica vaga. Isso é o norteador da hipótese principal aqui levantada, a saber: essa função, que por muito tempo foi desempenhada pelos intelectuais modernista, e, agora, reivindicada e tomada por indivíduos oriundos das margens sociais (o intelectual periférico), porém com diferentes intenções.
Liberalismo e bem-estar geral:
Authors: Maultasch Gustavo
Published: March 2018

Muitos pensam existir uma correlação direta e obrigatória entre ser uma pessoa boa e ser de esquerda. Segundo esse entendimento, se você é uma pessoa justa e solidária, que se preocupa com o próximo – e em especial com as minorias e os mais pobres –, você precisa pertencer à esquerda, que seria o único campo político que se fundamentaria sobre essa preocupação. Este artigo critica essa visão, e demonstra que o liberalismo também visa ao bem dos demais, porém o faz por mecanismos distintos. Os exemplos demonstrarão, ainda, que mesmo algumas das bandeiras ditas da esquerda tornam-se, em verdade, mais bem defensáveis quando fundamentadas sobre princípios do ideário liberal.

Review of the radiological and clinical outcomes of the correction of idiopathic scoliosis by convex  rod rotation were done in this prospective interventional study. Axial translation technique with pedicle screw-rod was used for correction of scoliosis. 35 patients (10 males, 25 females) were studied on the basis of clinical and radiological outcomes with a mean age of 14.8 years and follow-up a period of 32.5 months. Placement of screws was more on the concavity, around apical region and instrumentation at all levels were not mandatory. Radiological evaluation was done pre-operatively and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-operatively by whole spine standing anteroposterior, lateral radiographs and yearly thereafter. Spinal balance was noted, measurement of Cobb's angles, SRS questionnaire for clinical evaluation and complications were documented. The study result shows three-dimensional deformity of spine can be corrected effectively with simple rod rotation with pedicle screw instrumentation by axial translation technique.
Sir Tobie Matthew's Flaming Hart: Translating St Teresa for the English Catholic Exiles
Authors: Norton Roy
Published: March 2018

This article examines The Flaming Hart (1642), the English translation of St Teresa of Ávila's Vida, produced by Sir Tobie Matthew at the behest of the Antwerp English Carmelites. A brief discussion of the translation's influence is followed by an analysis that demonstrates how Matthew's tendencies as translator subtly but decisively distort Teresa's distinctive autobiographical voice. Compared to the Spanish original, the English Teresa sounds more self-assured and belligerent; her voice is confessionalized and formalized. It is suggested that this distortion can be linked to the historical circumstances from which the translation emerged. Upon the outbreak of the civil war, Matthew wanted his englished Teresa to inspire hope and confidence in his community of English Catholic exiles.
How Not to Historicise a Poem: On McGann's ‘Light Brigade’
Authors: Staten Henry
Published: March 2018

While earlier forms of historical literary criticism treated history broadly as background or context, the early 1980s saw the development of new types of historicising criticism that aimed or claimed to penetrate to the very quick of lived historical experience, as this was mediated by literary texts. In this essay, I focus on Jerome McGann's New Historicist reading of Tennyson's ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ as an exemplary reading of its sort. I do so in order to explore how problematic McGann's claims are, and how they can serve a useful pedagogical function at present. My essay will circulate around the question of just what the Light Brigade was in reality, what it would have represented, and how it is represented in the poem, considered in relation to the reality and perception of class at the time.
Field Emission and Emission-Stimulated Desorption of ZnO Nanomaterials
Authors: Li Nannan , Li Xiaozhao , Zeng Baoqing
Published: March 2018

Compared with other field-emission nanomaterials, 1D ZnO nanomaterials have some unique properties—such as high melting point, high thermal and chemical stability, and ambient insensitivity—which means they have promising potential applications as field emitters in harsh environments. This work proposed a water-assisted physical vapor deposition method to prepare various ZnO nanostructures simultaneously on a silicon substrate with one experimental run. Field emission characteristics of the as-grown ZnO nanomaterials were measured and analyzed. Emission-stimulated desorption was proposed and investigated. The gas released under the emission-stimulated desorption effect was measured in the way of monitoring the variation of the pressure. The results show that the slight variation of the pressure has almost no effects on the field-emissions, and field emission properties can be improved with the gases released from the surface of ZnO under the emission-stimulated-desorption effect. Finally, a low turn-on voltage in the range of 0.5–0.9 V/μm was achieved and a stable emission current was obtained. The ambient insensitivity of ZnO nanomaterials make them possible to be used as field emission cathodes in harsh environments with fluctuating pressure.
Novel Beverages of Yerba-Mate and Soy: Bioactive Compounds and Functional Properties

Published: March 2018

In this paper, two high-nutrition commodities that are produced in great amounts in Brazil were joined in a single functional product. Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is rich in bioactive compounds, while soybean is a high-quality protein source. The objective of this paper was to assess the psychochemical characteristics of two yerba-mate progenies (planted–PL and native–NT leaves) and then confirm whether the functional and nutritional properties of the main ingredients were conveyed to the beverage produced. The main raw material, yerba-mate leaves, and the drinks were assessed for bioactive compounds, antioxidant capacity, physicochemical properties, and nutritional value. Planted leaves showed higher concentration of 5-CQA, caffeic acid and rutin than the native plant, whereas caffeine and theobromine were detected in larger amounts in native leaves. The nutritional profile of the drinks was compared to commercial beverages–either yerba-mate-based or soy-based. They indeed provide more protein, fiber, and fats than traditional yerba-mate beverages (chimarrão, tererê, and mate tea). Soy drinks currently marketed, for their turn, have similar caloric value and higher contents of lipid and protein as compared to our product, but are poor in fibers. NT drink (DPPH—IC50 92.83 and ABTS—8.18 μM Trolox/mL) had higher antioxidant activity than PL (IC50 147.06 and 5.63 μM Trolox/mL) due to the greater volume fraction of yerba-mate extract. NT beverage has more 5-CQA and caffeine in the same intake of tererê and traditional mate tea. This healthy beverage contributes to an increasing income to the food industry and yerba-mate producers, and environmental gains that are related to the exploration of natural resources.
Effect of Precipitate Embryo Induced by Strain on Natural Aging and Corrosion Behavior of 2024 Al Alloy
Authors: Zhang Tao , Luo Hongyun , Su Yuqin , Xu Pingwei , Luo Jun , Li Sijie
Published: March 2018

Pre-aging precipitates in 2024 Al alloy re-dissolved during rolling, and Mg and Cu atoms were enriched in the dislocation structure to form “precipitate embryo”, which is beneficial for the formation of second phase during the subsequent natural aging process. Due to the solubility of the large precipitate particles during deformation, the precipitates in the natural aging 2024 Al alloy were consist of two parts: The undissolved pre-precipitates and the natural aging precipitates derived from the embryos. The electrochemical corrosion behavior and passive film of the samples with different pre-aging time and strain were investigated by electrochemical tests and SEM. The results showed that the corrosion resistance and the passive film performance were deteriorated with the increase of pre-aging time due to the simultaneous increase of the quantity of the two-parts precipitates. The corrosion resistance can be improved by the increase of strain, because there will be smaller grain size and the existence of large undissolved precipitates in smaller strain samples.
A Joint Fault Diagnosis Scheme Based on Tensor Nuclear Norm Canonical Polyadic Decomposition and Multi-Scale Permutation Entropy for Gears
Authors: Ge Mao , Lv Yong , Yi Cancan , Zhang Yi , Chen Xiangjun
Published: March 2018

Gears are key components in rotation machinery and its fault vibration signals usually show strong nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics. It is not easy for classical time–frequency domain analysis methods to recognize different gear working conditions. Therefore, this paper presents a joint fault diagnosis scheme for gear fault classification via tensor nuclear norm canonical polyadic decomposition (TNNCPD) and multi-scale permutation entropy (MSPE). Firstly, the one-dimensional vibration data of different gear fault conditions is converted into a three-dimensional tensor data, and a new tensor canonical polyadic decomposition method based on nuclear norm and convex optimization called TNNCPD is proposed to extract the low rank component of the data, which represents the feature information of the measured signal. Then, the MSPE of the extracted feature information about different gear faults can be calculated as the feature vector in order to recognize fault conditions. Finally, this researched scheme is validated by practical gear vibration data of different fault conditions. The result demonstrates that the proposed scheme can effectively recognize different gear fault conditions.
A Variational Formulation of Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics for Discrete Open Systems with Mass and Heat Transfer
Authors: Gay-Balmaz François , Yoshimura Hiroaki
Published: March 2018

We propose a variational formulation for the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of discrete open systems, i.e., discrete systems which can exchange mass and heat with the exterior. Our approach is based on a general variational formulation for systems with time-dependent nonlinear nonholonomic constraints and time-dependent Lagrangian. For discrete open systems, the time-dependent nonlinear constraint is associated with the rate of internal entropy production of the system. We show that this constraint on the solution curve systematically yields a constraint on the variations to be used in the action functional. The proposed variational formulation is intrinsic and provides the same structure for a wide class of discrete open systems. We illustrate our theory by presenting examples of open systems experiencing mechanical interactions, as well as internal diffusion, internal heat transfer, and their cross-effects. Our approach yields a systematic way to derive the complete evolution equations for the open systems, including the expression of the internal entropy production of the system, independently on its complexity. It might be especially useful for the study of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of biophysical systems.
Jackknife Bias Reduction in the Presence of a Near-Unit Root
Authors: Chambers Marcus J. , Kyriacou Maria
Published: March 2018

This paper considers the specification and performance of jackknife estimators of the autoregressive coefficient in a model with a near-unit root. The limit distributions of sub-sample estimators that are used in the construction of the jackknife estimator are derived, and the joint moment generating function (MGF) of two components of these distributions is obtained and its properties explored. The MGF can be used to derive the weights for an optimal jackknife estimator that removes fully the first-order finite sample bias from the estimator. The resulting jackknife estimator is shown to perform well in finite samples and, with a suitable choice of the number of sub-samples, is shown to reduce the overall finite sample root mean squared error, as well as bias. However, the optimal jackknife weights rely on knowledge of the near-unit root parameter and a quantity that is related to the long-run variance of the disturbance process, which are typically unknown in practice, and so, this dependence is characterised fully and a discussion provided of the issues that arise in practice in the most general settings.
