Authors:   Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Çukurova University, Sarıçam, Adana, Türkiye, Yılmaz Ebru
Published: November 2022

In this article, an integer mathematical programming model for the design problem of flexible cellular manufacturing systems is proposed. The developed mathematical programming model whose objective function is to minimize total design cost including cost of operating parts on machines, cost of using tools on machines, and cost of assigning employees to cells, also contains the present value method. Thus, it is ensured that the operational costs that occur along a certain time period are also taken into account. LINGO 19.0 optimization program software is used for the optimum solution of the integer mathematical programming model with the present value method whose objective function is to minimize the total design cost. In this article, the application of the model and the analysis related to the model are shown using a developed example problem. In addition, by ensuring the optimum design of flexible cellular manufacturing systems, the results of which alternative routes are used for processing parts, which machines are located in which cells, and which employees are assigned to which cells, are obtained. Then, a sensitivity analysis is presented to show the importance of alternative routes of parts.

Liquefaction is a major concern, especially in loose soil subjected to vibrations, which may lead to severe damage to buildings and infrastructure. In this paper, the influence of vertical vibrational loading on the liquefaction potential of natural sabkha soil was numerically examined to understand the effects of different parameters, on liquefaction potential. The parameters considered in this study include vertical displacement amplitude, frequency, modified mass ratio, subsoil conditions (natural and cement-stabilized sabkha soil with 5% and 10% cement content), and thickness ratio of cement-stabilized sabkha soil. Liquefaction was observed for different foundation configurations. The pore water pressure ratio beneath the foundation increased with a decrease in foundation mass. The minimum foundation mass that prevents liquefaction in the sabkha soil depends on the ratio of the machine’s velocity to the shear wave velocity of the subsoil (sabkha). The study provides guidance and information on the risk of constructing a foundation that is subjected to continuous vibration (such as the foundations of machines) in saturated sabkha soils due to the low rigidity, resulting from the generation of pore water pressure during the dynamic loading

Published: November 2022

In industry, welding is well known. There is a great demand for effective and quality welding. Manufacturers seek to remain competitive in the market. They rely on their manufacturing engineers and production personnel to quickly and effectively set up manufacturing processes for new products. Gas metal arc welding is one of the most widely used processes in the industry. Input factors such as welding current, welding voltage, Gas flow rate, wire feed speed, wire size and welding speed play a significant role in determining the welding quality. Taguchi's design has been a powerful and efficient optimization tool for better quality and performance output of manufacturing processes. In this study, Gas metal arc welding has welded commercial steel under preset factors of welding voltage, wire feed speed and groove shape. Base metal groove shape X welding obtained lower tensile strength and hardness than base metal groove shape V. Taguchi's design is to determine the optimal process factors for higher tensile strength and hardness. The analysis found that welding groove shape V had higher effect on the tensile strength and hardness of the welding, while the welding voltage has obtained higher tensile strength and hardness values. The optimum combination of welding factors was base metal groove shape V, 20 V and wire feed speed of 5.9 m/min.

Shingle material can appear as an excess usage due to defective production problems or at the end of their service life. Especially the reuse of shingle materials in bitumen has brought a different approach in terms of sustainability. In this study, the utilization of production shingle waste material in asphalt pavement were investigated. Mechanical properties of hot mix and warm mix asphalt samples involving different amount of production shingle waste (1-6% by weight of the aggregate) were evaluated. Following the determination of optimum rate of shingle waste bitumen content is reduced to decrease both hazardous effects of bitumen and production cost. Marshall Mix Design criteria was employed on determination of maximum reduction on bitumen content and the amount of shingle utilization within the asphalt pavement. As a final analysis, indirect tensile tests were performed on the specimens prepared with determined bitumen content and shingle waste. As a result, it is concluded that, utilization of waste shingles within the asphalt mixture not only benefits the environment and cost but also improves Marshall stability and Marshall quotient of the mixtures.

DC microgrids are localized and independent power distribution networks which show high efficiency when batteries and renewable sources are interconnected with the system. This paper addresses the stability of the dc microgrid through a decentralized control scheme. A centralized control architecture can improve the stability but reliability is compromised if the central controller fails. Droop control is commonly used to address the stability problem based on techniques through linear controllers. However, the Droop controller requires a tradeoff between voltage regulation and droop gain. Further, the global stability of the systems cannot be ensured through linear control techniques. Additionally, for different operating requirements and load conditions, it is difficult to optimize the parameters of these controllers. To address limitations, a PWM Based fixed frequency equivalent sliding mode (SM) control technique is proposed for dc microgrid stability. SM controllers show high robust performance. To formulate the problem, system equations are modeled and the operation of the system under SM is verified for existence and stability conditions. To examine the transient performance, the responses for critically damped and underdamped are investigated and presented. The results of detailed experiments simulations are presented which show the efficiency of the proposed control method.

The carbon dioxide (CO2) separation can be enhanced by using modified materials like a deep eutectic solvent (DES) modified mesoporous silica SBA-15 in polymeric support i.e polysulfone via mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The pure SBA-15 and DES are potential candidates for the CO2 capturing and their combination has not been reported yet. In this work, a fresh DES was synthesized by combining equal concentrations of Decanoic acid and choline chloride by mass. MMMs were fabricated by DES functionalized SBA-15 (DES-SBA) filler. The DES-SBA-based polymeric MMMs of different compositions, from 5% to 20% with the difference of five each, were developed and subjected to the gas permeation analysis to evaluate relative selectivities and permeabilities of membranes. The DES-SBA-based MMMs were characterized by SEM and FTIR to obtain distribution analysis of filler in the polymer matrix as well as the cross-sectional and surface morphology and the structural analysis of membranes, respectively. The gas permeation evaluations have been utilized to mixed and pure gas samples and the findings of selectivities for CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 and permeabilities of synthesized MMMs are being reported. The performance of the MMMs has been enhanced via functionalization of SBA-15 by DES as compared to the neat polysulfone (PSF) based simple membrane.

Diesel engines are used widely in the world due to their capability of handling high torque and heavy loads efficiently. Fuel injection systems in the diesel engine have different processes that affect the complete burning of fuel in the combustion chamber. These include the primary and secondary breakup of liquid fuel droplets and evaporation. Diesel engines use the air as a working substance only. One of the processes is the evaporation of fuel droplets. Complete evaporation of diesel fuel liquid in the combustion chamber is a prerequisite for complete combustion. Hence evaporation of droplets has an impact on the efficiency of the engine and consequently on the output power and torque. In the present paper evaporation of two different diesel fuels is modeled numerically taking into account the turbulence effects present in the cylinder due to high temperature and pressure using the RANS turbulence model. Evaporation of n-heptane diesel fuel and n-decane is controlled by the numerical model that includes the conservation equations of mass, energy, momentum and species transport. During the evaporation phase heat is transferred to the droplet and due to evaporation from the surface of the droplet, the mass of evaporating droplets is decreased. These two processes are controlled by the equations of the Discrete Phase Model present in the Fluent. Then the results are plotted by varying the droplet diameter and temperature. Results include the decay in droplet diameter, increase in the droplet temperature effect on the velocity of droplet and temperature changes in the cylinder due to evaporation of fuel. There are different parameters which affect the rate of evaporation of fuel droplets inside the engine cylinder of an internal combustion engine. These parameters include the diameter of fuel droplets, initial temperature of fuel droplets, and the temperature inside the cylinder after the compression stroke and surface area of droplets. Small droplets need a short time to evaporate while if the size of droplets is large then evaporation times is also increased.

For agriculture-based economies, energy generation through biomass is currently among the few practical means for overcoming energy and environmental crisis. However, economic assessment for bioenergy poses significant challenges to the developing nations due to limited availability of data and existing financial models. This study therefore conducts an economic assessment for Pakistan based on Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) for those bioenergy technologies which are commercially available in developing countries. These technologies vary from thermal processes such as biomass gasification or incineration in turbines to bio-chemical processes such as anaerobic digestion. LCOE modeling was performed through a mathematical set of equations driven by input parameters i.e., Feedstock price, total capital cost, auxiliary cost, operation and maintenance cost, capacity factor, and plant lifecycle. The results obtained from the modeling depicted that LCOE for bioenergy in Pakistan may vary from as low as $0.06/kWh to as high as $0.315/kWh. Combustion techniques like stoker boiler and Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) have lower cost and yield better economic value with LCOE ranging from $0.06-0.22/kWh. Further, feedstock cost is the most dominant factor that contributes to approximately 60% of the total LCOE. Hence, to make bioenergy economically viable, a sustainable biomass supply chain is essential. This will not only provide a sound energy alternative for developing countries, but it will also contribute towards social and environmental sustainability.

With the rapid increase of compute intensive tasks and workload, the need of the hour is to manage the total workload due to resource constraints and increased cost. For complex computations where multiple computer systems are required to execute a single task such as in federated cloudlet environment, load balancing is the main challenge. Load balancing means to divide the total workload between all the member nodes to get the maximum benefits from the federated environment. A cloudlet is a resourceful computer that is coupled to the Internet and is accessible to the mobile devices in the vicinity. Cloudlet Federation is the concept of a cooperative framework to share resources and load balancing among various member cloudlets. Different tasks consume different amount of energy for their execution that results in a large amount of heat dissipation. Due to heat, the performance of the systems is decreased. The more heat, the more performance degradation, so it becomes very vital to keep the energy consumption as minimum as possible. To address this problem, this paper proposes a novel scheduling strategy that will distribute the total load between all the member nodes in a federated cloudlet environment for load balancing. The proposed methodology not only considers the energy level of the system on which the task has to be executed but also considers the energy required by the tasks in queue. The proposed methodology is tested in a Cloudlet Federation environment and the results show an improved load balancing in terms of energy consumption.
O ensino e a aprendizagem do mapa a partir das contribuições da Teoria da Objetivação
Authors: Camalionte Castilho Raquel , Dias Moretti Vanessa
Published: November 2022

O artigo discute processos de ensino e aprendizagem dos saberes de alguns elementos de mapa nas aulas de Geografia de um 6º ano, de uma escola pública, a partir das contribuições teórico-metodológicas da Teoria Cultural da Objetivação. O estudo epistemológico do conceito de mapa oportunizou compreendê-lo enquanto um sistema semiótico cartográfico e foi fundamental para o desenvolvimento do projeto didático. A análise dos dados revelou os modos semióticos que se destacaram nos primeiros “encontros” com o mapa, no labor conjunto entre estudantes e professores, favorecendo uma primeira movimentação da tomada de consciência de formas de pensar geográficas e cartográficas, construídas cultural e historicamente. Esse processo de tomada de consciência crítica e gradual dos conceitos, possibilitado pelo labor conjunto, converge com os processos de objetivação e subjetivação, no contexto de um projeto didático comprometido com a formação de sujeitos sociais éticos, críticos, conscientes de si e que se reconhecem no coletivo.

Published: November 2022

The study considers Raven Saunders' protest at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (creating an X with raised arms on the podium of the medal award ceremony as a symbol of support for oppressed people, hereby violating the International Olympic Committee's [IOC's] Rule 50.2 Guidelines) and assesses
Twitter users' reactions. The authors used a single case study approach and applied the general inductive approach to analyze 3,460 tweets. About 28.7% (15.2%) of users responded positively (negatively) to the athlete's activism. Discrete emotions often accompanied beliefs that relied on dispositional
(but not situational) motive attributions, leading to favorable or unfavorable attitudes. About 48.1% made neutral posts. Important to event management, the IOC as the regulator of athlete's freedom of speech was mostly perceived critically (i. e., the IOC should 1) listen rather than speak,
2) prioritize better, 3) increase their competency, and 4) the IOC's investigation is wrong), while some users demanded further investigation.

Published: November 2022

Two dimensions form the theoretical and field framework for this study, pharmacovigilance and marketing deception. The study revealed that pharmacovigilance represents activities related to detecting, evaluating, understanding, and preventing harmful effects or any other related problem. While, marketing deception (henceforth MD) is marketing practices carried out by organizations or sellers in terms of distorting and misleading facts that cause the customer to be in a precarious state, and result in wrong purchasing decisions. The operating pharmacies within Mosul city were a field for conducting the field study, and the researcher sought to include several questionnaires expressing the study problem that was the basis for building the field studies, including (i) Do the pharmacovigilance contribute to eliminating MD? (ii) Is there an effective correlation between the pharmacovigilance dimension and the after-MD dimension? To answer these questions, a hypothetical scheme of the study was formulated to reflect the relationships and effects between the two dimensions of the study, which resulted in a set of main and secondary hypotheses, that were tested using several statistical means for the data collected by the questionnaire which numbered (527) and all were retrieved. The study listed a set of conclusions that were distributed in terms of theory and field sides, which the researcher presents the most important: (i) According to the answers of contributed individuals, pharmacovigilance does not contribute to eliminating MD. (ii) There is an effective relationship between pharmacovigilance and MD, but to some extent, it is weak due to the absence of adopting pharmacovigilance among the researched individuals, which negatively affected the elimination of MD practiced by some pharmacies operating in Mosul city. (iii) The relative importance of the variables of MD differs from a variable on the pharmacovigilance dimension. Depending on both theoretical and field study findings, proposals were listed consistent with these conclusions, as well as future studies related to the dimensions of the current study were suggested.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and degenerative disease of young people, which affects life quality, with social and psychological effects. The new era of treatments in MS, with drugs influencing immunomodulatory systems made possible a new approach of these patients, in efforts to make them capable to perform their activities as much as possible. Physical rehabilitation is an important mean for making patients with MS to accept their disease and to favourise their independence longer time. Patients should be encouraged to perform daily, or at least 2-3 times a week, a programme of physical exercises under the supervision of a specialist. Performing exercises in MS leads to a lot of benefits, not only physical ones, but also psychological ones and for overall health and finally to quality of life improvement. Physical therapy should be combined with psychological support, for limitation of negative impact of a chronic disease in young people. We must not forget that depression, anxiety, and in late stages of the disease, cognitive decline can interfere with life quality, so it is necessary to manage in a correct way all these aspects.
TD 2754 - Aníbal Pinto, Schumpeter e Friedman em um coquetel : uma proposta de sistema de capacitação e financiamento do aumento da produtividade das MPEs com pagamento quando e se o negócio prospera

Published: November 2022

Neste estudo, propõe-se um sistema integrado para apoiar a qualificação gerencial e o financiamento para micro e pequenas empresas (MPEs), com papéis complementares sendo desempenhados pelas próprias empresas, pelo governo e por agentes financiadores/investidores. Trata-se de regular um mercado hoje inexistente, baseado em um tipo de financiamento que transformou a assistência estudantil na Austrália e na Inglaterra e que vem conquistando espaço na literatura sobre financiamento público. Nos financiamentos com pagamentos vinculados à renda futura, quem financia recebe uma proporção da renda, do faturamento ou dos lucros futuros da pessoa ou da firma que é financiada, como reembolso de um empréstimo ou como remuneração pelo investimento feito. Para viabilizá-lo, propõe-se uma nova Contribuição de Intervenção no Domínio Econômico (Cide). Recorre-se a uma espécie tributária para que as economias de escala e de escopo envolvidas no poder estatal de tributar sejam direcionadas à remoção de falhas no mercado de capitais. Isso tende a ensejar benefícios sociais superiores aos benefícios privados eventualmente auferidos, justificando o envolvimento de um novo tributo como meio de as MPEs beneficiadas reembolsarem seus financiadores. O recolhimento dessa Cide vincula-se ao faturamento da MPE ou à renda de seus sócios, caso haja encerramento das atividades da MPE com dívida ainda pendente. Assim, reduzem-se os riscos de não pagamento, aumentando as garantias para quem financia, e esvazia-se de conteúdo jurídico o instituto da inadimplência, protegendo as MPEs e seus sócios dos imprevistos que caracterizam os negócios. Atrela-se a elegibilidade ao financiamento a uma prévia capacitação gerencial, tendo como produto um plano de negócios a ser certificado por entidade externa à instituição que ofereceu a formação. O plano de negócios certificado funciona, portanto, como uma espécie de “carta de recomendação” a ser levada às instituições financeiras credenciadas à concessão do crédito. Em certa medida, a proposta combina três correntes do pensamento econômico bastante distintas entre si: o estruturalismo, a abordagem schumpeteriana e o liberalismo. Recorre, particularmente, a elementos dessas correntes trabalhados, respectivamente, por Aníbal Pinto, Joseph Schumpeter e Milton Friedman – daí a menção expressa a esses pensadores no título deste estudo.
TD 2766 - Flexibilidade entre plantio e arrendamento rural no Brasil
Authors: Pecly Marcelo Guedes , Igrejas Rafael
Published: November 2022

O Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de cana-de-açúcar, produto com histórico e importância na pauta comercial e industrial brasileira. O estado de São Paulo é responsável por cerca de 50% da produção brasileira, estimada em 4,25 milhões de hectares de área colhida na safra 2019/2020. A região metropolitana de Ribeirão Preto, em São Paulo, é a maior produtora de cana-de-açúcar do país, respondendo por cerca de 25% da produção paulista. No mercado interno, a rentabilidade da produção de cana-de-açúcar das usinas e o preço de mercado são impactados não só pelos custos de produção, mas também pelos custos de arrendamento da terra junto a proprietários locais. Os proprietários de terra para cultivo de cana-de-açúcar detêm a flexibilidade de produção, ou arrendamento agrícola. Em cenários de pressão sobre custos e queda de produtividade, como na safra 2018/2019, houve aumento na devolução de terras de arrendamento pelas usinas. Em safras anteriores, a demanda por arrendamentos se mostrou mais aquecida, quando houve aumento de produtividade e preços de arrendamento mais competitivos. A discussão entre produção e arrendamento em propriedades rurais, ainda que seja bastante conhecida pelos agentes do setor, demanda métodos apropriados para guiar o processo de decisão de forma otimizada. Este tipo de decisão sob incerteza pode ser adequadamente conduzido pela Teoria das Opções Reais. Assim, neste estudo é proposto um modelo para avaliar a flexibilidade gerencial de voltar a produção de cana-de-açúcar em terras que se encontravam arrendadas por usinas. No modelo, utiliza-se o preço do açúcar total recuperável (ATR) no mercado interno, como a principal incerteza do projeto. O modelo foi aplicado na avaliação de uma propriedade rural na região de Ribeirão Preto, em São Paulo. Os resultados demonstram que a opção de passar a produzir na terra, que anteriormente se encontrava arrendada, agrega 5,17% ao fluxo de caixa futuro do proprietário da terra em valor presente, o que representa um incremento de US$ 1,7/t. A principal contribuição do estudo está concentrada no modelo de apoio à decisão, que permite avaliar o impacto da flexibilidade gerencial dos proprietários de terras nos agronegócios no Brasil. Uma vez que os proprietários de terra façam uso da Teoria das Opções Reais para tomada de decisão, tal abordagem permitirá a otimização de recursos e do uso da terra.
Spectroscopic and Imaging Observations of Spatially Extended Magnetic Reconnection in the Splitting of a Solar Filament Structure
Authors: Hu Huidong , Liu Ying D. , Pradeep Chitta Lakshmi , Peter Hardi , Ding Mingde
Published: November 2022

On the Sun, Doppler shifts of bidirectional outflows from the magnetic-reconnection site have been found only in confined regions through spectroscopic observations. Without spatially resolved spectroscopic observations across an extended region, the distribution of reconnection and its outflows in the solar atmosphere cannot be made clear. Magnetic reconnection is thought to cause the splitting of filament structures, but unambiguous evidence has been elusive. Here we report spectroscopic and imaging analysis of a magnetic-reconnection event on the Sun, using high-resolution data from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph and the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Our findings reveal that the reconnection region extends to an unprecedented length of no less than 14,000 km. The reconnection splits a filament structure into two branches, and the upper branch erupts eventually. Doppler shifts indicate clear bidirectional outflows of ∼100 km s−1, which decelerate beyond the reconnection site. Differential-emission-measure analysis reveals that in the reconnection region the temperature reaches over 10 MK and the thermal energy is much larger than the kinetic energy. This Letter provides definite spectroscopic evidence for the splitting of a solar filament by magnetic reconnection in an extended region.
The Mercury Lines in the Mean Far Ultraviolet Spectrum of HD 209459
Authors: Monier Richard
Published: November 2022

The analysis of the coadded high resolution SWP spectrum of the Hg star HD 209459 recorded by the International Ultraviolet Explorer reveals the presence of two resonance lines of Hg ii at 1649.92 and 1942.28 Å. The line synthesis of the least blended resonance line at 1942.28 Å, yields a mercury abundance of about 1000 times the solar mercury abundance. The abundances of other element are found to agree fairly well with previous determinations. These results suggest that HD 209459 might be a mild HgMn star. However more abundance determinations from high resolution high signal-to-noise optical spectra are necessary to clarify the status of this interesting object.
Demographic resource for data analysis and visualization
Authors: Pomazkin Dmitry , Filippov Vladimir
Published: November 2022

The demographic resource is designed to visualize demographic data in the Internet. The article provides a brief description of the database structure and examples of reporting forms. The following open sources of demographic information were used to develop the resource: the Human Mortality Database and Federal State Statistics Service. The use of the demographic resource provides access to basic demographic characteristics in the context of the Russian regions since 1990. In addition to Russia and its regions, this resource contains demographic information on a number of countries represented in The Human Mortality Database. The developed bilingual (Russian and English) interface enables forming both tabular and graphical reporting forms – demographic age-sex pyramids with one-year age groups, dynamic graphs and heatmaps of mortality rates. This demographic resource can be used for educational purposes, for developing analytical materials, reports and presentations. Data can also be uploaded in csv format for further analysis and use. The resource is available at: http://demography.infoarchives.ru
The complete mitochondrial genome of the terrestrial snail Monacha cartusiana (O.F. Müller, 1774) (Gastropoda, Eupulmonata, Hygromiidae)
Authors: Kosicka Ewa , Pieńkowska Joanna R. , Lesicki Andrzej
Published: November 2022

The mitochondrial genome of Monacha cartusiana is the first complete mitochondrial sequence described for the pulmonate snail genus Monacha and for the family Hygromiidae. The identified mitogenome has a length of 13,894 bp and encodes 13 proteins, 22 tRNAs, and two rRNAs. A phylogenetic analysis of available mitogenomes from representatives of helicoid families shows a sister group relationship of Hygromiidae and Geomitridae, which have been recently recognised as separate families.
Les communes nouvelles françaises (2010-2020) : quels profils pour ces territoires du quotidien remaniés ?
Authors: Bideau Gabriel , Ysebaert Ronan
Published: November 2022

Depuis quelques années, un important mouvement de fusions communales conduit à une recomposition de cet échelon. Cet article, en étudiant les caractéristiques des communes qui fusionnent, montre la diversité des profils, tant du point de vue socio-économique qu’en termes de types de peuplement, approchés ici selon les différentes composantes du zonage en aires urbaines. L’analyse permet de pointer l’hétérogénéité qui se trouve à l’intérieur des communes nouvelles et leur manque de cohérence du point de vue des territoires pratiqués quotidiennement par les individus. Ces communes nouvelles constituent surtout des pôles secondaires n’englobant que partiellement les espaces vécus. Enfin, une comparaison des communes qui fusionnent à des entités appartenant au même environnement permet de montrer d’importants contrastes en termes de potentiel financier et de composition socioéconomique, tant entre ces communes que par rapport aux espaces d’appartenance auxquels elles sont comparées.
Dans les pas de Paul Vidal de La Blache en Île-de-France
Authors: Labinal Guilhem
Published: November 2022

Les carnets privés de Paul Vidal de La Blache ont fait l’objet d’analyses fécondes qui attestent du goût du géographe pour l’observation in situ . Dans le sillon de ces travaux, la lecture du carnet n° 13, centré sur les nombreuses excursions qu’il réalise dans les environs de Paris à partir de 1888, nous permet de saisir la manière dont se construit l’originalité de sa posture : la cartographie des lieux visités autorise, en effet, l’identification d’un terrain méthodiquement parcouru et, couplée à l’analyse des notes, l’étude rend compte de la sensibilité itinérante constitutive de la méthode vidalienne.
Pyrrhon : une porte dérobée vers le bouddhisme zen
Authors: Clerjaud Stéphane
Published: November 2022

On trouve dans notre tradition philosophique un écho peu entendu à la méditation telle qu’elle est pratiquée dans le bouddhisme notamment zen : chez Pyrrhon. La méditation bouddhique est en effet, elle aussi, une affaire de non-jugement. Cette abstention exige d’être exercée. Ce travail comparatif nous permettra d’entrevoir le statut accordé à la pratique dans la philosophie européenne.
