Grain heap separation at the grates of a combine feederhouse

Published: July 2023

Using the grates of a combine feederhouse and directing the grain heap for cleaning, bypassing the threshing unit, we can reduce both the energy intensity of harvesting and the degree of grain crushing. The study purpose is to compare two variants of the combine feederhouse grates: with longitudinal holes of a finite length and transverse bars between them and with through holes without transverse bars. For a preliminary assessment, a theoretical model of the separation process is proposed, which includes the slipping of combed heap layers moved by a conveyor scraper into the hole at the angle of repose. Previously, it was assumed that upon contacting with a transverse bar, the corresponding heap layer completely stops slipping and the process resumes only after overcoming the edge of the next hole. As a result, the separation rate should significantly decrease. The upgraded version of the model takes into account the inertia effect on the sliding upper heap layer, which is activated by the friction force of its lower part acting along the bar surface. As a result of the total effect of the rolling force and the inertia force, the flow direction of the upper layer components changes to become nearly horizontal, as a result of which 50 to 60% of the layer slides into the next hole without stopping. According to the theoretical model, the separation of combed grain heap should be reduced by 4 to 5% if there are 120 mm long bars between the longitudinal holes and the total length of the separating part of the grates surface is 800 mm. As a result of a laboratory experiment on the Moskovskaya 56 wheat variety, the separation of a combed grain heap decreased by 4.6% due to transverse bars, which confirmed the adequacy of the theoretical hypothesis.

Possessing deep knowledge of mathematics and general mechanics, V.P. Goryachkin applied them to the design analysis of agricultural machines. Thereby at the beginning of the twentieth century, he established a new scientific discipline, which he called “Agricultural Mechanics”. Within the framework of this science, he also solved some theoretical problems of the tractor. He was engaged in the design of tractor equipment and recommendations for its development during numerous tests at the Machine Testing Station headed by him and within the framework of the government commission. The purpose of the research was to identify the theoretical and practical contribution of V.P. Goryachkin in the establishing of the tractor science and the domestic tractor construction. In accordance with the methods used in the history of science and technology, the author established that V.P. Goryachkin developed the theory of the driving and driven wheels of the tractor, justified proposals for improving the characteristics of the engine and the location of its longitudinal axis relative to the tractor’s travel direction, established the relationship between the tractor power and the operating speed, solved the constructive and power problems of coupling the tractor with a plow, formulated recommendations for improving mechanical propulsion and engines. Conducting numerous tests of tractors in the 1920s, and participating in the work of the government commission, V.P. Goryachkin contributed much to the development of the tractor industry. His recommendations greatly helped determine the pace and trends in the development of tractor construction in the USSR. Based on the conducted research, the author states that by his theoretical research and practical achievements, V.P. Goryachkin made a significant contribution to the history of domestic tractor construction, so his name should be mentioned along with other pioneers of the domestic tractor industry.

A reabilitação cardíaca exerce um papel valioso no cuidado de pacientes cardiopatas, inclusive para os portadores de cardiodesfibrilador implantável (CDI). No entanto, apesar dos benefícios, o CDI pode cursar com choques inapropriados, principalmente quando a frequência cardíaca se eleva, o que leva o paciente a sentir medo do esforço físico, e se autolimitar. Com o objetivo de garantir a eficácia e segurança do treinamento físico para que o paciente possa beneficiar-se sem gerar danos, como arritmias induzidas pelo esforço ou choque inapropriados, a avaliação prévia, a prescrição de exercícios de forma otimizada e individualizada, e a realização do exercício físico de forma supervisionada e monitorada é de suma importância. Sendo assim, este artigo teve como objetivo descrever a reabilitação cardíaca baseada em exercícios levando em consideração as evidências cientificas pré-existentes e a experiência dos profissionais em um centro especializado.

Cilj je ovoga preglednog rada ukazati na moguće rizike prijevremenoga poroda za daljnji razvoj djece te prikazati rezultate recentnih istraživanja psihofizičkoga zdravlja roditelja prijevremeno rođene djece. Istraživanja pokazuju da posljedice koje prijevremeno rođenje ima za djecu mogu biti ozbiljne, pri čemu rizik od neurorazvojnih poremećaja raste s nižom gestacijskom dobi djeteta i nižom porodnom težinom. Rizici prijevremenoga rođenja djeteta za roditelje mogu se očitovati neposredno i/ili dugoročno, od akutne stresne reakcije do poslijetraumatskoga stresnog sindroma, poteškoća u razvoju privrženosti, perzistirajuće intenzivne brige i straha za dijete, što je dodatno naglašeno prelaskom djeteta iz bolničkoga okruženja na kućnu njegu. Inicijalna emocionalna i informativna podrška medicinskoga osoblja, prakticiranje tzv. klokanske njege, dostupnost stručnjaka za mentalno zdravlje te neformalni izvori podrške izuzetno su važni čimbenici prilagodbe roditelja. Pregled suvremenih istraživanja upućuje na potrebu za daljnjim ispitivanjima čimbenika koji se dovode u vezu s (ne)uspješnom psihofizičkom prilagodbom roditelja na prijevremeno rođenje djeteta i skrb o nedonoščetu. Budući da je adekvatno suočavanje roditelja važan preduvjet razvojnih ishoda kod neurorizične djece, bitno je osigurati programe podrške roditeljima da bi se osnažila njihova znanja i kompetencije.

Published: July 2023

Alternate energy resources need to be developed to amend for depleting fossil fuel reserves. Lignocellulosic biomass is a globally available renewable feedstock that contains a rich sugar platform that can be converted into bioethanol through appropriate processing. The key steps of the process, pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and fermentation, have undergone considerable amount of research and development over the past decades nearing the process to commercialization. In order for the commercialization to be successful, the process needs to be operated at high dry matter content of biomass, especially in the enzymatic hydrolysis stage that influences ethanol concentration in the final fermentation broth. Biomass becomes a thick paste with challenging rheology for mixing to be effective. As the biomass consistency increases, yield stress increases which limits efficiency of mixing with conventional stirred tanks. The purpose of this review is to provide features and perspectives on processing of biomass into ethanol. Emphasis is placed on rheology and mixing of biomass in the enzymatic hydrolysis step as one of the forefront issues in the field.
Stochastic Fault Diagnosis using a Generalized Polynomial Chaos Model and Maximum Likelihood
Authors: Du Yuncheng , Duever Thomas , Budman Hector
Published: July 2023

A novel approach has been developed to diagnose intermittent stochastic faults by combining a generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) method with maximum likelihood estimation. The gPC is used to propagate stochastic changes in an input variable to a measured output variable from which the fault is to be inferred. The fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) problem is formulated as an inverse problem of identifying the unknown input from a maximum likelihood based fitting of the predicted and measured output variables. Simulation studies compare the proposed method with a Particle Filter (PF) to estimate the value of an unknown feed mass fraction of a chemical process. The proposed method is shown to be significantly more computational efficient and less sensitive to user defined tuning parameters than PF.

Increases in physical activity promote good health, yet exercise and particularly running are underprescribed for adults over age 65. The authors call for more prescriptions, incentives, and recognition for endurance exercise for older adults, which would increase healthy lifespans and inspire younger adults to run. They describe how new run-walk programs and shoe technologies allow older adults to succeed at endurance running, something not previously identified in the medical literature.

Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting neuroendocrine tumor and represents a challenge to the anesthesiologist. Without adequate preoperative preparation, excessive catecholamine release can result in life-threatening cardiovascular complications. To control blood pressure during the surgery, an infusion of sodium nitroprusside and dexmedetomidine was administered. Dexmedetomidine helps prevent hemodynamic instability during the tumor resection and was a way of interrupting the catecholamine release. This report attempts to address the preoperative and intraoperative issues in managing these challenging tumors with an emphasis on other therapeutic options to control the adrenergic crisis during the surgery.

We experienced a very rare case of primary malignant lymphoma of the tongue. The patient was an 83-year-old Japanese woman. Her chief complaint was swelling of the tongue for half a year. Fine needle biopsy from her tongue mass was performed at a previous hospital and showed no malignant cells. This hospital introduced her to our hospital for the purpose of scrutiny.At the first visit to our Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the tongue surface showed no erosion or ulcer, but hard tumors were palpable in the subepithelium of the central region of the tongue. Open biopsy of this tumor was performed and was diagnosed as T-cell lymphoma. PET-CT revealed no metastasis findings and bone marrow biopsy showed abnormal findings. This lymphoma was classified as Stage I (Ann Arbor classification). We consulted the Department of Hematology and she received chemotherapy by hematologists. Two years have passed since the start of chemotherapy. At present, this lymphoma shows no growth in the tongue or whole body

Introduction: Child malnutrition is a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide and thus a major public health problem. The study of interactions between nutrition and genes— nutritional genomics—encompasses two domains: nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics. Malnutrition (deficiency or excess) can thus affect gene expression and genome stability. Objective: The objective of this work is to investigate mutations of interest of Mitochondrial Cytochrome b (MT-CYB) that may be related to child malnutrition and to study the genetic diversity of MT-CYB. Materials and methods: We analyzed the variability of MT-CYB in 23 malnourished children and six healthy children via PCR-sequencing. The search of mutations in the MT-CYB gene was conducted using Surveyor Mutation software. Nine prediction software programs (i.e., SIFT, PROVEAN, POLYPHEN-2, DEOGEN, SNPs & go, PREDICTSNP, MUTATIONTASTER, PANTHER, and FATHMM) were used to determine the functional impact of mutations. The various parameters of the genetic variety as well as the genetic differentiation of MT-CYB were obtained using DNAsp Version 5.1001, Harlequin Version 3.1 and Mega X. Results: A total of 24 mutations (Z-score ≥ 20) were identified in malnourished and healthy children. Among the non-synonym mutations present in malnourished children, mutations p.N206N/I, p.T336H, p.Y345A, p.T348T/N, and p.L357L/V were predicted pathogenic by at least five predictive software programs. The amino acids Ile, Lys, Arg and Asn demonstrate significant differences between normal and malnourished children. There is a predominance of T+A (53.72%) compared to C+G (46.28%). Our results show high haplotypic diversity (1.000+/-0.013) and low nucleotide diversity (0.10545+/- 0.00488). Conclusion: Our results allowed us to detect mutations in the MT-CYB gene that could be linked to childhood malnutrition. A decrease in isoleucine (Ile), asparagine (Asn), and arginine (Arg) may be correlated with the risk of malnutrition. This study will allow to readjust the strategies to fight against malnutrition.

Introduction: Fetal macrosomia is a major risk factor for perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality in developing countries such as Senegal. With this in mind, the objectives of our study were to describe the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical and evolutionary characteristics of macrosomic newborns admitted to the Pikine National Hospital Center and to study the factors associated with macrosomia. Materials and methods: This was a prospective study conducted over a period of 6 months, from 1 December 2021 to 30 June 2022 at the CHN of Pikine. Results: The hospital prevalence was 4.79%. The most represented maternal age group was between 25 and 35 years. The medical-obstetric pathologies during pregnancy were dominated by gestational diabetes (46.1%). The average maternal body mass index (BMI) during pregnancy was 28.47 ± 4.7 kg/m². The majority of macrosomic babies were born at term. Macrosomia was Grade 1 in 75.65% of cases. The main complications were hypoglycaemia and obstetric trauma. Cardiac abnormalities were found in newborns of diabetic mothers. Mortality was 2.61%. Factors that were significantly associated with macrosomia were: multiple gestations, multiple pregnancies and a history of macrosomia. Conclusion and recommendations: Even if its incidence seems low compared to LBW, fetal macrosomia can lead to obstetrical and neonatal complications that can be dramatic for the mother and/or the newborn; hence the need to ensure their prevention through better monitoring of pregnancy and delivery in all pregnant women at risk.

Aim: To analyze laparotomy closure of conventional midline and transverse abdominal incisions in elective and emergency laparotomies with a longterm, absorbent, elastic suture material. Method: Prospective, single centre, non randomised, controlled cohort study on short stitches with a longterm resorbable, elastic suture (material: poly-4-hydroxybutyrate) aiming at a 6:1 suture to wound (SL/WL) length ratio in midline and transverse, primary & secondary laparotomies for elective & emergency surgery. Results: We included 351 patients (♂: 208; ♀: 143), midline (n=194), transverse (n=103) and a combined midline/transverse L-shaped (n=54) incisions. There was no stitch performance quality difference between elective (n=296) and emergency (n=55) operations, while results in the first 150 patients showed a significantly reduced SL/WL-ratio to the following 200 suture closures (SL/WLratio: 5.64±2.5 vs 6.1±2.3, p<0.001). Average SL/WL-ratio in general was better for midline than transverse incision sutures (6.62±2.5 vs 4.3±1.51, p<0.001). SL/WL-ratio varied among the 6 surgeons participating, although results steadily improved and eventually approximated each other. Conclusions: We could show that a 6:1 SL/WL-ratio with a 2-0 single, ultra-long term, absorbent, elastic suture material can be significantly performed better in midline than transverse incisions. Transverse incisions should preferably be closed in 2 layers in order to achieve a sufficient SL/WL-ratio equivalent to the median incision. While on an individual level, results varied between surgeons, quality will improve and eventually approximate.

Objectives: To determine patient’s and health worker’s views of telemedicine on prevention of cross infection and delivery of health care in our centre. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study conducted at our neurosurgery centre. Sample size was calculated, questionnaire designed and administered to consecutive patients or healthcare workers. Data was analysed using SPSS, IBM version 20.0. Results: We found 161 patients. 79.5% were males with a male to female ratio of 3.8:1. The mean age of the patients was 32±12 years. Majority of patients, 68.9% (111/161) lack awareness of virtual consultation. Most patients, 76.4% (123/161) showed interest in having virtual consultation to prevent COVID-19 infection. Most patients opined that, virtual consultation can be done in any day and at any time. There is statistically significant association between age (11-30year), male gender and short distance to the hospital (1-200KM), to interest in virtual consultation (p< 0.05). Patients living close to hospital have five times likelihood of accepting virtual consultation than those coming from far distance (odds ratio-5.7, CI-1.5-21.23, p-0.002). 84.6% of the health workers have prior knowledge of virtual consultation as a means of preventing COVID-19 infection. All age group, gender and non-emergency cases should be offered virtual consultation as suggested by the 100% of health workers. Conclusion: This single centre study shows paucity of knowledge of virtual consultation in our patients, though interested. In contrast, most health workers know about virtual consultation as a way of preventing COVID-19 infection, as such, virtual consultation should be introduced in our practice.

The Arkhangelsk Region is a territory with a high number of rodents, as well as arthropods — carriers of some pathogens of zoonotic infections. With climate warming, there is an expansion of the ranges of blood-sucking arthropods and their natural hosts. The preservation of the pathogen in nature and its transmission are possible with the participation of blood-sucking arthropods and rodents. Insufficient doctors» awareness of zoonotic infections, a variety of clinical manifestations, a low percentage of bacteriological detection of pathogens of zoonotic infections, and a late humoral response make it more difficult to identify these patients and cause the frequency of misdiagnosis. In the Arkhangelsk Region, the incidence rates for zoonotic infections exceed those in Russia as a whole.

Published: July 2023

73 years ago, on the morning of August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., an atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The American bomber had the sonorous name "Enola Gay" - it was named after the mother of the crew commander, and the deadly bomb with the affectionate name "Little Boy" contained 20 thousand tons of TNT equivalent. In a few seconds, the "Little Boy" claimed about 130 thousand human lives, most of which turned into radioactive dust, and tens of thousands of people were dishoused. Three days later, on August 9, the city of Nagasaki was subjected to a similar strike using a bomb with no less peaceful name "Fat Man", with equally terrible consequences [3]. According to some reports, the Americans, in order to achieve complete surrender of Japan, planned to carry out a total of three nuclear strikes, but as of early August 1945, the US military had only two deadly bombs at their disposal. At that time, few could have imagined how terrible and irreversible the consequences of a nuclear strike could be. The incidence of leukemia increased 18 times. The victims of this terrible bombardment continue to die from radiation sickness to this day, annually replenishing the list of victims by 5,000 names [1]. To date, the number of victims of the tragedy has approached 450 thousand. The US Air Force colonel, who gave the order to drop the bomb from an escort aircraft, soon went mad, and spent the rest of his days in a psychiatric hospital.

Authors:   Surgut State University, Surgut, Russia, Швец Е. С.
Published: July 2023

The study presents an analysis of well testing using the pressure draw-down curve method after hydraulic fracturing in 2018‒2019. According to the analysis, that 67 % of studies are not data-supported, whereas 33 % are credible. Some study parameters were not employed due to the reasons described in the article. A scrutinized analysis of possible deviations in the results of the studies from the design concept for hydraulic fracturing is conducted. It is noted that fracture half-length and formation pressure determined by well testing differ from those determined by planning. Based on the results of the pressure draw-down curve, the author determines the dependence of the time required for the diagnosis of radial filtration mode on the range of reservoir permeability and the value of the half-length of a fracture. Based on the Nolte‒Smith plot, an approach to determining the nature of fracture development is proposed in order to obtain parameters sig-nificant for planning, control, and analysis of field development and geological and engineering activities and are used for detecting well deliverability and inflow area created due to hydraulic fracturing.

En las sociedades capitalistas modernas, la investigación se ha caracterizado por asumir un papel en donde la naturaleza y los sujetos sociales son objetos de conocimiento y de estudio; dicha visión representa una forma de “objetivar” la vida en todas las dimensiones y darle una valoración en el marco de la objetividad. La avidez de imponer un tipo de ciencia, técnica y saber al servicio del interés del capital y el culto al consumo, forman parte de la dinámica socio-política proveniente de los distintos países inmersos en dos paradigmas centrales: el desarrollo y el subdesarrollo. En México y en NuestrAmérica se viene impulsando el “Desarrollo sustentable” como política para superar el “subdesarrollo” y transitar hacia el camino del progreso. Los discursos y la práctica del actual desarrollo homogeneizante, que engloba la política de desarrollo internacional con base en los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) y la agenda 2030 establecidos por la ONU, se presentan en un contexto de cambio climático, degradación ambiental, destrucción de la naturaleza, sobreexplotación de bienes naturales, expropiación de territorios, desplazamiento de poblaciones y desintegración social. La situación de NuestrAmérica1 no se constituye en un espacio de excepcionalidad, pero sí bajo particularidades y diferencias sustanciales que retroalimentan el debate de los estudios del desarrollo, y cuestionan los paradigmas, métodos y metodologías asociadas a este campo de investigación

The present experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of drinking water temperature and stocking density (SD) on oxidative metabolism in the heart, liver, bursa fabricius, and thymus in broiler chickens raised under heat stress. The experiment comprised of 360 one-day-old Ross 308 male broiler chickens randomly divided to 6 experimental groups with 4 replicates in each group. Experimental treatments included three different SD (low = 12 birds/m2, medium = 15 birds/m2 or high = 18 birds/m2) and two different drinking water temperature (10oC or 31oC) in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement. At the end of the experiment (42 days of age), two birds per replicate were euthanized for sample collection. The results indicated high SD increased oxidative damage and caused an increase in MDA formation in the heart, liver and thymus. On the other hand, cold water ameliorated the oxidative damage due to the high SD in the thymus. In the study, the statistically non-significant interaction was generally determined between cage stocking density and cold drinking water on the antioxidant system. Besides, while cold water administration increased CAT activity in heart and thymus tissues, decreased GSH activity. In conclusion, drinking water temperature and stocking density are key environmental factors effecting oxidative metabolism when broilers under high temperature conditions; however, more studies are needed in terms of the interactive effects of water temperature and stocking density on antioxidant enzymes under current conditions.

The article considers the main probabilities of insurers getting into the registers of unscrupulous suppliers in accordance with 44-FZ and 223-FZ. An analysis was made of the main reasons for including unscrupulous suppliers in the register and the riskiest events related to meeting deadlines under the Russian procurement legislation. The relationship between the entry of insurers into the register of unscrupulous suppliers and the subsequent revocation of the license to carry out insurance activities by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation is analyzed. The main consequences for the procurement participant when included in the register of unscrupulous suppliers are considered, taking into account insurance specifics. A possible relationship between the registers under 44-FZ and 223-FZ is considered. Separately, the issue with the only case of the insurer getting into the register under 223-FZ and the possible risks and consequences of this case for the insurer are considered.
