Fuel Efficiency Improvement & Knocking Reduction System Using 2-Stroke Petrol Engine By Coolant Injection
Authors: Kurhekar Mr. Parimal
Published: June 2022

Abstract— In internal combustion engines, the water injection, also known as an anti-detonant injection, is spraying water into the cylinder or incoming air-fuel mixture to cool the combustion chamber of the engine, allowing for greater compression ratios and eliminating the problem of engine knocking. This effectively reduces the air intake temperature in the combustion chamber. The reduction of the air intake temperature allows for higher ignition timing to be employed, which ultimately increases the power output of the engine. Depending on the engine, improvement in power and fuel efficiency can also be obtained by injecting water. Water injection may also reduce carbon monoxide emissions. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effect of water injection on the engine performance, exhaust gas temperature, and exhaust emission of the S.I. engine, water is injected in specific quantities with compressed air. Single cylinder, two-stroke, air-cooled, 100 cc petrol engines were used in this experiment. Obtained data will compare to calculate the performance of specific fuel consumption, which will get without a water supply to a petrol engine based on performance. The performance test is conducted to find out the fuel efficiency and is compared with conventional engine present also emission is to be carried out to find CO (carbon monoxide) emissions.

Published: June 2022

Most cases of aplastic anemia (AA) complicated by nephrotic syndrome
(NS) have been reported to be the effects of chronic graft-versus-host
disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We
describe a 16-year-old boy with AA with monosomy 7 who developed NS
during immunosuppressive treatment for AA alone without HSCT. Recently,
there appeared a report of MIRAGE syndrome caused by gain-of-function
mutation of SAMD9 gene on chromosome 7 who developed NS. No such
mutation was detected in our patient and thus the genetic factors
leading to the complication of two diseases remain unknown at this time.
Trapping of betanin in alginate microcapsules: Stability studies under accelerated conditions
Authors: Kurtulbaş Ebru , Toprakçı İrem , Şahin Selin
Published: June 2022

Microcapsules including red beet extract rich in betanin was produced by
ionic gelation. Sodium alginate was used as wall material. Impacts of
coating amount and active material were assessed with respect to
encapsulation efficiency (EE) of the capsules in terms of total phenolic
content (TPC). Encapsulation of the red beet extract in alginate
microbeads was satisfying with >80% under the best
conditions of ionic gelation (15% calcium chloride concentration and
2% sodium alginate for 15 min of hardening time). The interaction
between the active material and the alginate beads were also
investigated by diffuse reflectance fourier transform (DRIFT)
spectroscopy. Accelerated oxidation test was employed to measure the
stability of the microcapsules against oxidation by means of Rancimat
method. Stability of the produced microbeads were evaluated in terms of
kinetic and thermodynamic analyzes. After the induction times were
determined under different temperature conditions (110, 120, 130 and 140
ºC) by Rancimat test, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the
product were analyzed. The findings (∆H
>0, ∆S
<0, and ∆G
>0) indicates that low entropy value is attributed to more
stable microbeads with less energy (<40 kJ mol
).
High-lipid treatment regulates atherosclerotic development and aortic endothelial cells apoptosis via FOXO3 activation
Authors: Liu Chao , Cong Hongliang , Li Ximing
Published: June 2022

Background：Endothelial cell apoptosis plays an important role
in the progression of atherosclerosis. Oxidized low density lipoprotein
(Ox-LDL) induces endothelial cell apoptosis through multiple signaling
pathways. We investigated the role of FOXO3 activation in the
development of atherosclerosis and ox-LDL induced mouse aortic
endothelial cell (MAEC) apoptosis. Methods: In vivo, ApoE-/-
mice atherosclerosis model was induced by high fat feeding and the FOXO3
expression in aorta endothelium were measured by IHC. In vitro，MAECs
were induced with ox-LDL to establish an atherosclerosis model. The cell
viability and apoptosis were measured by MTT and Hoechst 33342 staining.
The FOXO3 expression was measured by Q-PCR. Then we constructed two
plasmids: the interference vector for FOXO3 and the expression vector
for FOXO3. The effects of the two plasmids on MAECs were evaluated.
Results: The results of in vivo experiments showed that
FOXO3 activation in mouse aortic endothelium was associated with
atherosclerosis (ApoE mice model of
atherosclerosis). Furthermore, ox-LDL triggers MAEC apoptosis. FOXO3
activation was associated with Ox-LDL-induced MAEC apoptosis. RNA
interference-mediated reduction of FOXO3 expression blunted
Ox-LDL-induced MAEC apoptosis. In contrast, overexpression of FOXO3
promoted Ox-LDL-induced MAEC apoptosis. Conclusions: FOXO3
activation is therefore involved in the development of atherosclerosis
and MAEC apoptosis.

Published: June 2022

There is considerable interest in repurposing metformin as an adjunctive
therapy in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19. The
efficacy, optimum dose and relevant target-population are, however,
undefined. This study used data from the Secure Anonymised Information
Linkage (SAIL) Databank to test the hypothesis that COVID-19 outcomes,
in terms of hospital admissions or death, were lower in adults with
prescribed metformin compared with those not prescribed metformin.
10,247 patient records were identified, of which 2,123 (21%) were
prescribed metformin. In those who were either admitted or died within
14 days of a positive COVID-19 result, the mean time to admission (or
death) was comparable in both the metformin and metformin groups at 5.3
days (CI95% 5.0-5.7) and 5.7 days (CI95% 5.5-5.9), respectively. There
is no evidence from this study that metformin is associated with any
benefit to those who contract COVID-19 in the community if they are
already prescribed metformin.

Authors: GAO YUAN , DENG JIE , XIONG XIUMEI , NIU PEIGUANG , ZHU YANTING , LIU YIN , CHEN XIUJUAN , Shi Dao-hua
Published: June 2022

Objectives: We aim to exploring the association among the gene
polymorphisms of multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) and cytochrome P450
3A4 (CYP3A4), the blood concentration of mifepristone and the outcomes
of mifepristone in medicine abortion, in order to developing an
individualized treatment of mifepristone. Methods: 126 patients of
medicine abortion were enrolled, which received a regimen of
mifepristone and misoprostol. The blood concentration of mifepristone
and monodemethyl-mifepristone was detected by LC-MS/MS analysis.
Polymorphisms of MDR1 3435C>T, 1236C>T,
2677G>T/A and CYP3A4*1G were genotyped by MassARRAY
technology. Results: The patients in successful outcome group have a
higher blood concentration of both mifepristone and
monodemethyl-mifepristone than that in failed outcome patients (P =
0.031 and 0.012, respectively). Meanwhile, there was a relationship
between the C/D ratio of mifepristone, monodemethyl-mifepristone and the
efficacy of mifepristone (P = 0.040 and 0.017, respectively). In
addition, the occurrence of adverse reaction of mifepristone was
associated with a higher blood concentration of mifepristone as well as
C/D ratio of mifepristone (P = 0.010 and 0.008, respectively). MDR1
G2677T/A was linked with the C/D ratio of mifepristone and
monodemethyl-mifepristone (P = 0.012 and 0.004, respectively), as well
as the efficacy and adverse reaction of mifepristone (P = 0.042 and
0.001, respectively). CYP3A4*1G genotype was related with a lower blood
concentration of mifepristone (P = 0.012). Conclusion: The blood
concentration of mifepristone and monodemethyl-mifepristone and MDR1
2677G>T/A could be a reliable indicator in a successful
outcome of mifepristone for medicine abortion and the occurrence of
adverse reaction.
Trivariate probabilistic assessments of the compound flooding events using Semiparametric Fully Nested Archimedean (FNA) copula approach
Authors: Latif Shahid , Simonovic Slobodan
Published: June 2022

Flooding in coastal areas can result from the joint occurrence of
multiple individual flood variables, resulting in compound flooding (CF)
events. Individual variables may not be extreme but can result in a
severe coastal impact if they occur in close succession or simultaneous.
Bivariate joint distribution analysis is ineffective in assessing the
likelihood of joint occurrence, thus demanding a more advanced higher
dimensional probability framework. Incorporating higher dimensional
joint simulation via traditional symmetric 3-D Archimedean or Elliptical
copulas has statistical limits and would be incapable of preserving all
lower-level dependencies. The heterogeneous dependency in hydrologic
consequences can be modelled effectively via the fully nested
Archimedean (FNA) copulas. Incorporating FNA under parametric
distribution settings is not flexible enough since it is restricted by
the prior distributional assumption of the function type for both its
marginal density functions and copulas in parametric fittings. This
study introduces a multivariate FNA copula under semiparametric
distribution settings. The presented approach is based on relaxing the
modelling of univariate marginal behaviour without any distributional
assumption via the nonparametric kernel density estimation (KDE). The
univariate marginal distribution of all the flood characteristics is
constructed via normal KDE. The performance of FNA with nonparametric
marginals outperforms the FNA copula built under parametric settings.
The derived semiparametric FNA is applied to a case study in compounding
the joint impact of rainfall, storm surge and river discharge
observations on the west coast of Canada. The presented copula-based
joint modelling is employed in multivariate analysis of flood risks in
trivariate primary joint and conditional joint return periods. The
trivariate hydrologic risk associated with compound events is analyzed
using the failure probability (FP) statistics. Investigation reveals
that trivariate hydrologic events produce a higher failure probability
than bivariate (or univariate) events; neglecting trivariate joint
analysis would underestimate FP. Also, it indicates that trivariate
hydrologic risk values would increase with an increase in service time
of the hydraulic facilities.
A novel thermodynamic strategy for predicting influence of relative humidity on stability of amorphous solid dispersions
Authors: Chen Qiao , Ji Yuanhui
Published: June 2022

In this work, the influence of polymeric excipients and relative
humidity (RH) on stability of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) was
investigated. Irbesartan and oxaprozin of BCS Ⅱ were selected as model
active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). PVP and PVP/VA were chosen as
model excipients. The water sorption and the physical stability of
amorphous solid dispersions stored at constant temperature and humidity
were measured. The thermodynamic phase diagrams were constructed using
Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) and
Gordon-Taylor equation. The results showed that the hygroscopicity of
PVP-containing was stronger than PVP/VA-containing. The water sorption
was found to significantly decrease the API solubility in the polymer as
well as the glass-transition temperature of the formulation. The
solubility of irbesartan and oxaprozin in PVP and PVP/VA were further
predicted at 25 °C with PC-SAFT. It could guide the design of amorphous
solid dispersions and selection of storage conditions.

It is valuable that graphene-like porous carbon materials are prepared
from the biomass resources due to theirs porous structure, heteroatom,
and high specific surface area. Herein, we use egg white and graphene
oxides as precursor and employ post-hydrothermal carbonization approach,
freeze-drying technique, carbonization, and activation methods by KOH to
prepare the graphite carbon nanoflakes with Fe7C3@graphite carbon
nanoflakes hybrid materials. Morphology tests imply that the formation
of graphite carbon nanoflakes are mainly depended by activation step, it
implies that carbon flakes are exfoliated via introducing K+ into carbon
layers and further destroying the van der Waals force (VDWF). As a
result, this hybrid materials exhibit a attractive capacitance (528
mF·cm-2@1 mA·cm-2) and durability (91@10 mA·cm-2, 4000 cycles). For
hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), the as-collected samples also deliver
a low overpotential and remarkable stability. We believes that the
as-obtained hybrid materials have a greatly application value in energy
storage devices.

ENMSJ : An Efficiency Filtering Technique using Bitmap Vectors for n-way Joins in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: DJAIL Boubekeur
Published: June 2022

In wireless sensor networks, join queries execution introduces a high energy consumption. While energy is an important factor for sensors survival, several techniques were developed to reduce it.  Sensors energy is affected by the number of transferred messages whereas query is performed. The aim of the proposed techniques was then to decrease the communicated data volume.  So, the exchanged data volume is soaring when joins are performed between many data tables. This joins type is called: n-way join query.  In this paper, we present an efficiency technique to treat n-way join queries in wireless sensor networks. This technique is named: Enhanced N-way Mediated Semi-Join (ENMSJ). ENMSJ is an improvement of a precedent strategie that we proposed: N-way Mediated Semi-Join (NMSJ). ENMSJ uses bitmap tables to more reduce transferred messages quantity.  We compared the two techniques to test their performance. Obtained results are very hopeful.

Inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathology of most chronic diseases, such as neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders. Transcription factor NRF2 has been proposed recently as a promising target to generate a beneficial therapeutic effect in most chronic diseases characterized by low-grade oxidative stress and inflammation. Most of the compounds identified as NRF2 activators are electrophiles that inhibit its main repressor: KEAP1. However, electrophiles display many off-target effects and elicit a supra-physiological NRF2 activation. As an alternative, we identified a small molecule that disrupts the interaction between NRF2 and its other repressor E3 ubiquitin ligase β- TrCP. In vitro and cell culture experiments demonstrated that our hit small molecule is a β-TrCP/NRF2 interaction inhibitor. This compound is specific for NRF2 and not for the other substrates described for β-TrCP, such as β-Catenin. Moreover, it attenuates the production of pro-inflammatory markers in cultured macrophages submitted to the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In vivo pharmacodynamics studies demonstrated selective exposure and NRF2 activation in liver. In mice submitted to LPS-induced acute liver inflammation, the compound greatly attenuated Kupffer cells activation and the NFkB-mediated inflammatory response. These findings report an innovative mechanism to activate NRF2 and it could be used as an alternative to conventional anti-inflammatory therapies.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a multifactorial etiology that includes DNA damage in neurons. The transcription factor E2F4, which can potentially regulate DNA repair, has two conserved threonines (T249/T251 in the mouse) that can be phosphorylated by p38MAPK (p38). The expression in vivo of the T249A/T251A E2F4 mutant form (E2F4DN) has been shown to be a multifactorial therapeutic agent against AD. In this work, we have analyzed the effects of E2F4 phosphorylation in T249/T251 on the DNA repair response (DDR). To this aim, we used N2a mouse neuroblastoma cells treated with 10 µM camptothecin (CPT), a treatment known to induce Cited2 expression and subsequent cell death. In this paradigm, the repression of Cited2 by E2F4 is abolished upon CPT treatment, thus allowing its E2F1-dependent expression followed by cell death. While E2F4 can be detected in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of N2a cells, phosphoT249-E2F4-specific immunoreactivity is specifically observed in the nucleus 4 h after treatment with CPT. Therefore, the known activation of p38 in response to CPT could lead to T249 phosphorylation of E2F4, thus suppressing its inhibition on E2F1 activity and allowing Cited2 expression. This hypothesis, is being tested in CPT- treated N2a cells co-transduced with adenoviral vectors expressing E2F1 together with either wild-type E2F4 or E2F4DN, in either the presence or absence of p38 inhibitors. In summary, our work provides support for a novel mechanism used by E2F4 to regulate the response to DNA damage in pathological situations, which could participate in the therapeutic capacity of E2F4DN against AD.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a crucial determinant of tumor growth, progression, and resistance to chemotherapy in cancer, with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) being one of the most representative examples. The major component of the tumor mass in cHL is a rich and vast immune microenvironment, comprising a diverse repertoire of cell populations, many of which remain unknown. The specific contribution of the different functional cell subsets in the TME, such as T lymphocytes, monocytic populations, or dendritic cells, is also undiscovered. Currently, around 30% of advanced-disease patients or some atypical cases of primary refractory tumors do not respond to treatment or relapse shortly afterwards. Response predicting features of TME have been recently identified, which suggest a rationale for alternative therapeutic strategies. All existing evidence indicates that HRS cells actively coordinate and remodel their complex TME and that its diverse components influence the therapeutic response in cHL patients. The sensitivity of current technology enables analysis of specific functional phenotypes in the TME as diagnostic and predictive biomarkers. One example is the quantitative dissection of the TME with in situ multispectral imaging using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues, with which we could analyze simultaneously CD68, CD137, CD30, CD3, PDL1, and PD1 markers to identify specific cell subsets. Remarkably, some cell populations expressing CD137 were associated with unfavorable responses in cHL patients, such as the activated monocytic cells (CD68+ CD137+), the tumor-reactive T cells (CD3+ CD137+), and the tumor CD30+ CD137+ PDL1+ cell subset. By contrast, the CD3+ CD137- T-cell population was associated with better prognosis, suggesting that CD137 could be a new prognostic marker in cHL for poor outcomes. Moreover, some cell subsets that could not be studied until now due to the lack of appropriate technology were found to be more abundant in the first stages of the disease, whereas others were less abundant than in stage IV. For instance, we could study exhausted T cells (CD3+ PD-L1+ PD-1+) and other related cells that were largely unexplored in cHL. Finally, these findings were validated with independent series of patient samples, including immunohistochemical studies with specific antibodies and gene-expression analysis.

A mathematical model of PCNN for image fusion with non-sampled contourlet transform
Authors: Zhang Pai , Wang Lixia , Eslami Hayder
Published: June 2022

Non-sampled contourlet transform (NSCT) is a kind of non-down sampling image transformation, without spectrum aliasing, and the high-frequency region component can be further decomposed into various direction information, which has a good expression of image details. Therefore, this paper proposes an image fusion technology based on NSCT. Considering the different characteristics of low-frequency and high-frequency region components, the PCNN parallel method and ‘golden section method’ are used as double fusion rules, respectively in high- and low-frequency regions, whichperform the merge operation on the low area component. Experiments show that this algorithm has great advantages in preserving the details of image contour, texture and edge.
The Improvement of Tomato Shelf Life using Chitosan and Starfruit Leaf Extract as Edible Coatings
Authors: Utama Nafi Ananda , Ernawati Ririn , Pramesi Putrika Citta
Published: June 2022

Due to the high degree of perishability and vulnerability to spoilage, tomatoes have limited marketability, which leads to extensive postharvest losses. The edible coatings are generally used to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables; therefore, this study investigated the use of chitosan and starfruit leaf extract (SFLE) in the composition of edible coatings for tomato fruit. Firmness, total titratable acidity, reducing sugar content and microbial load were measured every 5 days for 25 days. The results showed that the addition of SLFE to chitosan did not enhance the antimicrobial effect or firmness over the effects made by a separate use of chitosan and SFLE. Both components improved the shelf life of tomato fruits compared to untreated tomatoes.

Group theater in Xalapa: survey in pandemic times
Abstract
This paper presents the basis and context of a research project titled “Group Theatre in Xalapa”. After the closure of cultural activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, new priorities emerged that required the project to focus on the impact that this situation caused on the activity of independent theater groups in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz. To rise awareness on this situation, we carried out a survey in June 2020, which was designed to explore the new state of affairs. The survey considered three different moments: a) the groups’ situation prior to the pandemic, in terms of their organizations and dedication to theater work, their finances and their members’ finances; b) the impacts of the pandemic on the groups’ theatrical activity, their economy and their state of mind; as well as; c) emerging activities and projects in the face of a “new normal”. The survey results report provides feedback aimed at interpreting the data, and points to new questions.

El grupo de investigación Hydra Transfilosofía Escénica trabaja en los intersticios entre la metáfora y el concepto, el acontecimiento y la teoría. Desde el trabajo interdisciplinario, triangula el seminario teórico, la escritura de textos académicos y el arte acción, en busca de un desarrollo orgánico de ideas, de un pensamiento sostenido en los juegos del cuerpo. El presente artículo aborda las problemáticas teóricas a las que arroja el concepto de transfilosofía escénica, como propio de un discurso que se articula de manera escénico-teórica, asumiendo al arte acción como una toma de postura: el arte como experimento filosofante.
Performance transphilosophy: conceptual becoming of the body and Situationist writing
Abstract
The Hydra Transfilosofía Escénica research group works in the interstices between metaphor and concept, event and theory, with an interdisciplinary approach. The group brings together a theoretical seminar, the writing of academic texts and action art interventions, in search of an organic development of ideas sustained by a ludic approach to the body. This article addresses the theoretical challenges posed by concept of performance transphilosophy, assuming action art as a stance, and art as a philosophical experiment.
Portafolio fotográfico. La quinta dimensión del teatro: artes escénicas en tiempos de pandemia
Authors: Prieto Stambaugh Antonio
Published: June 2022

A 19 meses de haber iniciado la pandemia desencadenada por el virus del Covid-19, las artes escénicas ya no son ni seguirán siendo las mismas. El encierro obligado por las medidas sanitarias impulsaron a las personas dedicadas al teatro, la danza y el performance a transitar hacia la “modalidad virtual”. ¿Cómo se han transformado las artes escénicas en su necesidad de trabajar a través de la pantalla valiéndose de lenguajes cinematográficos, videográficos y digitales? Ofrecemos aquí un portafolio de imágenes que dan pistas sobre las soluciones creativas encontradas por creadores y grupos escénicos mexicanos durante el año 2021. Solicitamos fotos de puestas en escena digital recientes a la Compañía Titular de Teatro de la Universidad Veracruzana, a la Facultad de Teatro de esta misma universidad, así como a la asociación Área 51 Foro Escénico (de Xalapa, Veracruz) y la Compañía La Rendija, de Mérida, Yucatán. Nuestra pequeña muestra abarca obras creadas en el marco institucional, un trabajo realizado por estudiantes de licenciatura, y puestas en escena del ámbito independiente. Hay que destacar que todas las imágenes son de trabajos realizados en las ciudades de Xalapa y Mérida, fundamentales en la escena nacional descentralizada.

La amplia experiencia del Centro de Investigación de Semiótica Teatral y Nuevas Tecnologías (SELITEN@T) es recogida en este libro (Imagen 1) y es gracias al editor, profesor, investigador y director del Centro, José Romera Castillo. Este volumen es la cúspide articuladora de proyectos anteriores y agendas de investigación procedentes de España, Francia y Latinoamérica. Su importancia consiste en trascender la revisión temática del deporte en las obras dramáticas, lo cual se logra con el empleo de principios metodológicos, filosóficos y teóricos capaces de alimentar la reflexión sobre la práctica teatral. ¿Podríamos plantear la cuestión a la inversa, que el teatro nutra la reflexión sobre el deporte? Por supuesto, los estudios de dramaturgos e investigadores constituyen un puente: sus observaciones y experiencias nos permiten comprender las dimensiones performativas y espectaculares como hilos que en ciertos momentos se conectan y, en otros, siguen rumbos distintos. En todo caso, el esfuerzo editorial presenta la oportunidad de integrar estas dimensiones de la experiencia humana –teatro y deporte– desde la perspectiva de sus hibridaciones.
Prácticas de lo real en la escena contemporánea por José A. Sánchez, Prólogo de Rodolfo Obregón
Authors: Soberanes Benítez Said
Published: June 2022

¿Qué es lo real? ¿Qué es la realidad? Más importante aún, para nosotros; ¿qué es eso que se lleva a escena cuando se afirma que “se ha llevado a escena lo real”? ¿Cómo responder a estas preguntas tras la caída de los grandes relatos que dan sentido a lo real? Tales son las preguntas que nos llevan de la mano en el libro Prácticas de lo real en la escena contemporánea, escrito por el investigador español José A. Sánchez y recientemente coeditado para el público mexicano —en versión corregida y aumentada— por Ediciones Toma, Paso de Gato y Conaculta.

Terapeia teatral. Las prácticas teatrales y su aplicación en acompañamientos terapéuticos
Authors: Ulloa Montejo Rosalinda Esther
Published: June 2022

En México, desde hace aproximadamente 30 años hemos tenido la presencia de profesionales en psicodrama. No obstante, el campo del teatro como herramienta terapéutica sigue siendo tierra virgen; sus frutos son pocos y sus registros casi nulos. Los investigadores Gabriel Yépez e Ireli Vázquez recopilan en el libro Terapeia teatral. Las prácticas teatrales y su aplicación en acompañamientos terapéuticos una serie de charlas que formaron parte del Ciclo Terapeia Teatral, realizado en el citru en marzo de 2011, con el objetivo de despertar el interés por el tema en los profesionales del teatro y en los profesionales de la salud mental. Este libro es un documento de gran valor por las reflexiones inéditas que ofrece acerca del trabajo terapéutico basado en experiencias teatrales, y sin duda en sus páginas encontrarán un fuerte aliento los profesionales de la salud mental que se interesan por las técnicas derivadas del arte como herramientas de trabajo cotidiano.

Supplementation of Bioplus probiotic is the feeding strategy that can be applied to optimize sheep production in Kaso Village, Tambaksari District, Ciamis. Bioplus contains rumen microorganism that play a role in rumen digestion process. The aim of the study were to analyze the supplementation of Bioplus probiotic on production performance of sheep and to analyze the feasibility of feedlot sheep in Kaso village. The treatment consist of two treatment P0 = control and P1 = control + rice brand + Bioplus probiotic 1 doze (150 g). The variable measured such us average daily gain, dry matter (DM) intake, ration efficiency, income over feed cost (IOFC). The Feasibility variable measured such us R/C ratio, B/C ratio, BEP price and BEP production. The Data were analyzed using independence t-test and descriptive analysis for feasibility variables. The results of the study showed that there was an effect on average daily gain, ration efficiency and IOFC (P<0,05) but did not effect on DM intake (P>0.05). The results of the feasibility analysis show that there is an increase in income, the B/C ratio increases with the addition of probiotics and the R/C ratio P1 is higher and most feasible. Price BEP and production BEP P1 are better than P0. Thus, the supplementation of Bioplus probiotic was able to increase the production performance and income of sheep farmers in Kaso Village.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of alkaline soaking time on the crude fiber and protein fractions of pineapple peel. The research consisted of two stages, the first stage was immersion of pineapple peel with husk ash water filtration concentration (FAAS) and different soaking times, and the second stage was about giving basic pineapple peel flour (TNKB) with different percentages in the ration. The first stage used a factorial completely randomized design consisting of FAAS concentration factors of 20%, 30%, and 40%, and immersion time factors of 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours. The second stage used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% TNKB treatments in the ration. . The best reduction in fiber and crude protein fractions from alkaline soaking preparations will be given to broiler chicken feed rations. The result of immersion of 30% concentration with soaking time for 72 hours showed the best decrease for the fiber fraction. So that this processed pineapple skin flour can be given to broiler chicken feed rations. The results of the study concluded that the use of alkaline acidification of pineapple peel in rations could be used up to a level of 15% without affecting the performance of broiler chickens.

Effect of Wetting and Drying Cycles on Swell/Collapse Behavior and Cracks of Fine – Grained Soils
Authors: Al Zubaydi Abdulrahman H. T.
Published: June 2022

Many of the soils undergo volumetric changes due to the change in the water content. Swell-shrink and collapse behavior of those soils affects the stress state in soil and the interacted structures. Shrinkage in the soil produce cracks of different patterns, and affects the swelling potential in next wetting cycle.This study covers swelling and collapsing properties of four different soils from Mosul city. The changes in swelling and collapsing properties with respect to number of wetting and drying cycles have been investigated. Also, A shrinkage cracks have been studied with aid of digital image after each drying cycle. Number of segments and area of cracks calculated with aid of AutoCAD package.Results indicated that, the collapse potential is influenced by soil type (soil composition) and applied loads. As the applied loads increase the collapse potential increases. For sandy soil the collapse potential decreased with increasing wetting and drying cycles, and for the clayey soils, swell potential decreased while collapse potential increased with these cycles. It has been shown that the cracks increase with wetting-drying cycles. Larger values of percent crack area to the initial sample area has been observed in the soil that contain more clay content than other types of soils.
