Personificación e iconografía de la muerte en la Grecia antigua
Authors: Crespo Güemes Emilio
Published: December 2020

El presente artículo reúne las menciones y representaciones de la personificación de la Muerte en la literatura y en las artes plásticas desde Homero hasta el comienzo de la época helenística. Centra la atención en la Ilíada de Homero, en la Teogonía de Hesíodo, en la tragedia y en la célebre cratera pintada por Eufronio, que representa el momento en que la Muerte y el Sueño, en presencia de Hermes, levantan del suelo el cadáver de Sarpedón para transportarlo a su tierra natal. El artículo sostiene que la escena del traslado mítico del cuerpo de Sarpedón por el Sueño y la Muerte se reinterpretó como la repatriación del cadáver de cualquier ciudadano ateniense muerto en el extranjero, que la ley mencionada por Tucídides en su Historia de la guerra del Peloponeso imponía.
A Register-Based Perspective to Suprasegmentals in ELT
Authors: Sevilla Morales Henry , Chaves Fernández Lindsay
Published: December 2020

The current paper is a systematization of EFL experiences around the teaching of suprasegmentals courses from a register-based perspective. Simply put, the proposal is based on the notion that prosodic elements must be taught from a communicative perspective, where speech acts are adjusted to specific communicative situations considering the formality level required (casual, informal, formal, or fixed). To a large degree, the approach derives from the authors’ empirical evidence gained while teaching suprasegmentals at Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica (UNA) and Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) over the course of four years.

Se profundizó en cuatro aspectos principales: el rol del profesor, la calidad de los conocimientos, la libertad de expresión durante la clase y el nivel de disfrute del estudiantado. También se analizaron las percepciones acerca de lasevaluaciones realizadas en clases. El estudio fue cuantitativo y no experimental. Se utilizó como instrumento de recolección de datos el cuestionario. La valoración del Aula Invertida fue positiva: se consideró que incrementó los aprendizajes, ayudó a memorizar y comprender conceptos teóricos y aumentó el disfrute de las clases.
Correlation of trace element composition of oils and other caustobiolites with chemical content of different types of biota and the Upper, Middle and the Lower Earth's Crust
Authors: V. Rodkin M. , Lu Ngo Thi , A. Punanova S.
Published: December 2020

The trace element (TE) content of oils is known to have a polygenetic character and to be inherited from an organic matter, surrounding rocks and from formation waters. The presence of some TEs indicates the involvement of the deep source, at least from the Lower Crust.  However, these conclusions have a qualitative character. We present the results of the correlation analysis of TE content of oils with the chemical compositions of the Upper, Middle, and Lower Crust, with different types of organic matter, clays, and causetobiolites. A logarithmic instead of a linear scale for TE concentration values are used in calculations because the examining values change by several orders of magnitude. The TE compositions of clays, coals, and shales correlate better with the composition of the upper continental crust and an organic matter. In contrast, the TE contents in the majority of oils correlate stronger with the Lower crust, which indicates a significant contribution from the Lower continental crust. This finding points to the role that the uprising flow of fluid plays in the process of the formation of oil. Only young oils from Kamchatka and from White Tiger huge oil fields indicate a better correlation with the Upper crust. This finding is explained by the lower depth of formation of the uprising flow of deep waters because of higher deep temperatures in Kamchatka and in the White Tiger oil field area. The obtained trend of change of TE content in clays and different caustobiolites oils including is interpreted as a mixing line between the subsurface end member (which is characterized by high correlation with the chemical content of the Upper crust and biota) and the deep end member (high correlation with the chemical content of the Lower crust).
A case study of grinding coarse 5 mm particles into sand grade particles less than 2.36 mm
Authors: Reed Aaron , Koroznikova Larissa , Khandelwal Manoj
Published: December 2020

This paper presents the viability study of utilising a rod or ball mill to grind a ‘5 mm grit’ to 100% passing 2.36 mm and fit in with a desired particle size analysis.  The aim is to introduce this grit into the concrete grade sand produced at the Hanson owned Axedale Sand & Gravel quarry to reduce generated waste and improve the process efficiency. A ball mill and rod mill were used to grind the samples at an interval of 5 and 10 minutes. From the laboratory experimental analysis, it was found that a ball mill with 5 minutes grinding time in closed-circuit using a classifier to remove undersize and reintroduce oversize to the mill would be a viable option in an industrial setting. A Bond Ball Mill Grindability Test was undertaken to determine the grindability of the 5 mm grit, which served to determine the power (kWh/t) required to grind it to 100% passing 2.36 mm. The bond ball mill grindability test showed that the grit had a work index value of 17.66 kWh/t. This work index gives an actual work input of 13.54 kWh/t, meaning that for every ton of feed material introduced to the mill, 13.54 kWh of work input is required to grind it to 150 microns.
Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the Nui Chua pegmatoid mafic-ultramafic series, Northern Vietnam: Significance in petrogenesis and Fe-Ti-V metallogenesis
Authors: Dung Pham Thi , Anh Tran Tuan , Hung Tran Quoc , Hoa Tran Trong , Shelepaev R. A. , Hoang Nguyen , Cong Tran Quoc
Published: December 2020

The pegmatoid intrusions of the Nui Chua complex are one of the important mafic-ultramafic intrusive series associated with Fe-Ti-V ores in northern Vietnam. These intrusions consist of plagiowebsterite, clinopyroxenite, melanogabbronorite, mesogabbro, gabbronorite, and leucogabbronorite. The Fe-Ti oxide ores being massive or disseminated appear layered or veined in pegmatoid rocks. The geochemical characteristics of pegmatoid rocks are rich in Fe, Ti, V and poor Mg; their HREE are higher than LREE, with [La/Yb]N of 0.49 to 0.91 (average: 0.67), showing negative anomalies at Nb, Ta, Th, U, Sr, Zr and positive anomalies at Cs, Ti, and K. The chemical composition and distribution characteristics of trace and rare earth elements of mafic and ultramafic rocks show that they share the same magma source. Having the same geochemical tendency of intrusive formations, Fe-Ti oxide ores are magmatic origin associated with intrusive pegmatoid rocks. The pegmatoid rocks of the Nui Chua complex and Fe-Ti oxide ores are formed as a product of the fractional crystallization of Fe-Ti-rich residual melts after crystallization of the layered rocks.

Creation and the philosophy of science: Freedom, contingence and the modality of the natural sciences
Authors: Irving A. J. D.
Published: December 2020

Understanding creation through the theological loci of Christology and Trinitarian theology gives a view of the natural world as both contingent and free. This distinctively Christian view of the natural world carries implications for the natural sciences in terms of philosophical modality. This paper explores three such themes: (i) the nature of reason; (ii) the character of theories; and (iii) the relationship between discursivity and the logic of reality.

Blow up for non-Newtonian equations with two nonlinear sources
Authors: SELÇUK Burhan
Published: December 2020

This paper studies the following two non-Newtonian equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. Firstly, we show that finite time blow up occurs on the boundary and we get a blow up rate and an estimate for the blow up time of the equation $k_{t}=(\left \vert k_{x}\right \vert ^{r-2}k_{x})_{x}$, $(x,t)\in (0,L)\times (0,T)\ $with $k_{x}(0,t)=k^{\alpha }(0,t)$, $k_{x}(L,t)=k^{\beta }(L,t)$,$\ t\in (0,T)\ $and initial function $k\left(x,0\right) =k_{0}\left( x\right) $,$\ x\in \lbrack 0,L]\ $where $r\geq 2$, $\alpha ,\beta \ $and $L\ $are positive constants. Secondly, we show that finite time blow up occurs on the boundary, and we get blow up rates and estimates for the blow up time of the equation $k_{t}=(\left \vert k_{x}\right \vert ^{r-2}k_{x})_{x}+k^{\alpha }$, $(x,t)\in (0,L)\times (0,T)\ $with $k_{x}(0,t)=0$, $k_{x}(L,t)=k^{\beta }(L,t)$,$\ t\in (0,T)\ $ and initial function $k\left( x,0\right) =k_{0}\left( x\right) $,$\ x\in \lbrack 0,L]\ $where $r\geq 2$, $\alpha ,\beta$ and $L$ are positive constants.
Interests and Priorities in Sockeye Salmon Management: How are Policies Enacted and Interpreted on three Alaskan Rivers?
Authors:   , Palazzi Jake
Published: December 2020

The large export abundance of Alaskan salmon is well documented, and many studies have been performed to assess the economic and environmental viability of the industry and its management. Less research has been done to characterize how state intentions regarding fisheries allocation are conceived of by management or perceived by vulnerable groups in the user pool. This study seeks to qualitatively characterize the disconnect between state and Native Alaskan perceptions of management effectiveness, public interest, and Native Alaskan involvement using interviews. Results showed that Native Alaskan and state manager respondents had very different perceptions of management effectiveness and equity. When asked questions about the goals of policy and public participation in it, Native Alaskan respondents tended to identify issues of over-commercialized fishing and a lack of direct state acknowledgement of tribes while managers repeatedly referenced an equal public voice for all users and a focus on maximum sustainable yield. Results provide insight into the context certain policy decisions by the state of Alaska are received by Native Alaskan groups.

Authors: Cheng Xuansheng , Cai Xiangdong , Zha Wanxi , Zhou Yingchao , Gong Lijun
Published: December 2020

To study the variation in pile–soil stress and settlement of a pile–net composite foundation in a collapsible loess area, a test section of the Gansu-Ningxia section of the Yinxi high-speed railway was analysed using an earth pressure box, a liquid level settlement system and a single-point settlement instrument. The monitoring results showed that for, the pile–net composite foundation, the earth pressure in the embankment was significantly affected by the geogrid and the soil arching effect. The geogrid enhanced the soil arching effect between the piles, resulting in an increase in earth pressure between the piles on the embankment. With an increase in the embankment filling height, the pile–soil stress ratio and load sharing ratio of the cement–fly ash–gravel (CFG) pile and cement–soil compaction (CSC) pile increased gradually and the pile–soil stress ratio of the CFG pile was greater than that of the CSC pile. The settlement patterns of the CFG pile top, CSC pile top and the soil between the piles was saddle-shaped. The settlement of the CSC pile was found to be much less than that of the CFG pile.

A conclusion about the necessity of a thorough research of the issue is drawn. It is related to a number of aspects and namely: lack of data on types of criminogenic groups which are present on social networking sites; an insignificant number of works dedicated to criminogenic groups, to the analysis of their content, their structure, rate of their expansion and detection of the number of real participants; lack of internet content analysis techniques to decide whether a certain group is criminogenic or not; imperfection of preventive strategies and efficient measures of control over criminogenic groups activities and also lack of state policy in this field. The solution of the stated problems is urgent and congruent with National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation till 2020.
Legal Regime of Requests for Labor Remuneration in Case of Bankruptcy
Authors: Pakharukov Aleksandr
Published: December 2020

The article investigates the structural elements of international legal regimes of requests for labor remuneration in the event of the employer's insolvency - the «priority of requirements» model, the «warranty of requirements» model and the «mixed» model. It examines the problematic issues of the interpretation and application of the norms of the current Russian legislation arising in the course of filing and satisfying the requests for labor remuneration in a bankruptcy case. It stares that the Russian bankruptcy legislation establishes several legal regimes in regard to requests for labor remuneration. The privileged character is envisaged for requests for the current payments regimes (priority) and for the registered payment regimes (second priority). The restricted character is established for the requests due to payments in end-of-priority (after-second priority) order. The article gives a critical assessment of the law enforcement practice whereby it expands the circle of persons subject to the privileged legal regime. It draws attention to inadmissibility of referring the requests for insurance payments to the second (privileged) turn of creditors. It recognizes as ineffective the order, existing in the law enforcement practice, of collecting the interests charged according to the labor legislation, in case of bankruptcy.
Features of Conducting Pre-Investigation Check by District Police Officers in Criminal Cases in the Sphere of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic, Psychotropic Substances and Their Analogues
Authors: Soshin Aleksey , Yakimova Yekaterina
Published: December 2020

The fight against illicit traffic in drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues is carried out both in establishing legal norms determining juridical liability for committing crimes and administrative violations in this sphere and in regulating the procedural activity of the law enforcement bodies performing counteraction to the illicit traffic of the said substances. The crimes in this field are specifically dangerous publicly, that is why their revealing must be the subject careful attention of the enforcers. The article draws a conclusion that a possibility to qualify the deed truly, to investigate all facts in the case greatly depends on the correctness of procedural drawing-up of the revealed crime. The district police officers are universal enforcers, therefore in their operational activity management is necessary to pay attention to specifics of the signs of crimes, to executing the information on criminal acts in the sphere of illicit traffic of drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues.
Procedural Independence of Judges and Their Self-Efficiency: Correlation of Notions
Authors: Kazarina Marina
Published: December 2020

The principle of independence of judges is captured in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation relatively recently, yet, as the scientists claim, the formal formulation of the judge independence principle bears a generalized and «diluted» character and does not disclose the essence of the principle. The author carries out the study of the notion «independence», as well raises the issue of correlation of the notions «independence» and «self-efficiency» and of correctness of using these notions in regard to the court, in general, and to judges, in particular, because the RF legislation does contain the statements referring to self-efficiency and independence of the court and judges but gives no answer to the issue of their delimitation. The article is devoted to studying the legislation and scientists positions concerning the correlation and application of the notions « independence» and «self-efficiency» to the court and judges, expresses the authors position, offers the criteria of delimitation of the notion under consideration.

Authors: Burakov Valery
Published: December 2020

At present, in Western industrially developed countries there is widespread introduction and improvement of logistic information-computer technologies that allows them to win in the competitive struggle for sales markets. Russia, in spite of certain success obtained recently, has failed to overcome a considerable slippage in innovative activity, on the whole, and in developing the logistic infrastructure, in particular. This predetermines the topicality of the studies in this subject matter. In his article the author focuses the attention on the extreme importance of solving the problems of developing and using the present-day logistic technologies for increasing the competitiveness of the Russian economy. In this connection, the article examines the key theoretical issues that are principally important for understanding the essence of the problems to be solved, including: the concept of logistic technology, the grouping of technologies with indication of corresponding basic modules, the priorities and tasks of developing logistics in the foreseeable future, the results obtained and the problems that are to be solved in order to liquidate the existing slippage in the sphere of logistic innovations.

Authors: Sukhodolov Yakov
Published: December 2020

The article examines the present-day specificity and prospects of developing foreign trade ties of the Republic of Buryatia with Peoples Republic of China which currently is a major foreign trade partner of the region. It presents the statistic data on dynamics of volumes and main trends in changes of the export-import operations structure of the Republic of Buryatia. The Republic of Buryatia is an export-oriented entity of the Russian Federation, however, in the sales structure of the regions export a major share is made up by groups of raw materials; coal, round wood and timber, while deliveries of engineering products are irregular in nature. Development of the foreign trade of the Republic of Buryatia with China is connected with maintaining a large share of engineering products in export, as well as by increasing the volume of the finished product export, first of all, by creating new industries aimed at processing the mineral resources mined on the territory of the region.

Published: December 2020

The article presents the results of empiric research of motivation profiles of students of Psychology Department of Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University who are getting education as full-time students on the secondary education basis and as full-time and part-time students on the secondary vocational education basis. It reveals the general characteristics of the students motivation profile: the learning activity of all first-year students is connected with the motive of obtaining knowledge, while at the final phase of studies it gives way to the motive directed at getting the diploma, whereas the most represented motives are «to become a highly qualified specialist», «to ensure the success in future professional activity ». The article marks the specificity of motivation profiles depending on the year of studies and the students mode of study. The difference between the full-time and part-time students is expressed in insignificance of the external motivation for the latter. The leading ones for them are cognitive motivation, motivation of accomplishment, self-development and self-respect. In motivation profile of the full-time students the most expressed are the introjected and external motivation, in the forth year the leading role is performed by amotivation. The least significant motives are «implementing pedagogical requirements» and «readiness for classes».

O uso de animais como ferramenta para educação ambiental: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Oliveira Fabiano Arivabene de , Régis Milena de Moura , Francos Maria Solange
Published: December 2020

A educação ambiental (EA) possui um papel importante na preservação dos ecossistemas e da biodiversidade que nele vive. Além de pesquisas científicas, é vital a participação e envolvimento da população, tornando-a um elo comunicativo entre a ciência e a sociedade, abrindo espaço para que a comunidade contribua nessa proteção. Utilizar animais em projetos de EA promove não só o contato entre indivíduo-animal, mas também contribui com a conscientização e sensibilização da população em relação a importância da manutenção e conservação da vida de todos os grupos de animais. Tais aspectos justificam o desenvolvimento do presente estudo, que teve como objetivo o levantamento sistemático da literatura sobre o uso de animais na educação ambiental. Além de examinar se o uso de animais é realmente uma ferramenta válida para a educação ambiental e quais métodos de utilização de animais é mais eficiente. Os artigos foram levantados usando critérios “pré-busca” com operadores Booleanos. Um total de 174 artigos foram encontrados, estes passaram por seleção utilizando critérios de triagem, finalizando 19 artigos debatidos nesta revisão sistemática. A utilização de animais como ferramenta para a educação ambiental, de acordo com os dados apresentados neste estudo, é uma estratégia solida e eficiente. Os dados também revelaram que, para o desenvolvimento de projetos de educação ambiental utilizando animais podem ser adotados diversos métodos, incluindo o manejo de exemplares vivos, fixados ou taxidermizados, bem como, questionários, fotografias, dentre outros instrumentos. Independente da metodologia empregada, os resultados são consistentes e positivos.

Licenciamento Ambiental de Estradas de Terra
Authors: Siqueira Juliana Pereira , Lima Jairo Salim Pinheiro de , Lima Elizete Aparecida Checon de Freitas
Published: December 2020

Estradas e rodovias são importantes para a economia e o desenvolvimento. No Brasil, os transportes rodoviários abrigam 61% do volume de tráfego das cargas. Mas a maior extensão da malha rodoviária brasileira (78,4%) é constituída por vias não pavimentadas: as estradas de terra. As estradas de terra são entendidas aqui como vias cuja superfície de tráfego é o próprio solo local ou revestimento primário, resultando de caminhos e trilhas primitivos sem observar os princípios de sustentabilidade. O presente trabalho é um estudo acerca dos instrumentos de licenciamento ambiental de estradas de terra adotados pelas unidades da federação (UF) brasileira, delimitando as normas jurídicas inerentes ao processo. Inicialmente, realizou-se uma consulta aos sites dos órgãos ambientais em cada UF, que foi complementada com ligações telefônicas. Para ampliar o acervo de informações foi elaborado, numa segunda etapa, um questionário com perguntas objetivas direcionadas aos gestores dos órgãos ambientais. O documento foi disponibilizado via formulários Google para as 27 UFs. Apenas 10 estados aderiram ao protocolo. Dentre as respostas cadastradas, apenas MG e SP não realizam o LA de estradas de terra. Por outro lado, à exceção do DF e do PA, as demais UFs que relataram realizar o licenciamento de estradas de terra, citaram a legislação que orienta o processo que, em alguns casos, apresentava caráter mais genérico. Dado o escopo de procedimentos e estudos ambientais obtidos, as normativas adotadas por ES e SC foram as que mais se aproximaram do propósito de ordenação do LA de estradas de terra.
Unidades de Conservação: breves aspectos históricos e relevância
Authors: Ferreira Julia de Oliveira , Silva Maira Abgail dos Santos , Bonifácio Cássia Maria
Published: December 2020

A fim de amenizar a degradação ambiental desenfreada e as perdas ocasionadas pela ação antrópica, surge à necessidade da criação de Unidades de Conservação. A criação destas Unidades teve como embasamento a conservação da biodiversidade, que vem sendo discutida com maior ênfase somente nos últimos anos. Vale destacar que no Brasil até a década de 1970 as questões ambientais não recebiam devida atenção, ou seja, há ainda muito que evoluir na questão da política ambiental no país. Desse modo, o presente trabalho busca apresentar e relatar a importância das Unidades de Conservação, com ênfase em exemplos da região do sudoeste paulista, visando colaborar com a possibilidade de instigar a estudos nessas áreas, uma vez que há pouca bibliografia sobre essas Unidades.
Análise de uma prática pedagógica sobre o conceito de decomposição da matéria a partir do poema "Latas" de Manoel de Barros
Authors: Farias Luciana Marques , Rezende Richard Lima , Ferreira Débora Rezende , Nascimento Junior Antonio Fernandes
Published: December 2020

Por uma educação menos fragmentada, que agregue conhecimentos científicos, culturais e artísticos para uma formação mais humanizadora, a proposta deste trabalho é analisar, pelo olhar de um grupo de universitários da Universidade Federal de Lavras, uma proposta pedagógica  sobre o ensino de decomposição da matéria para o ensino médio, na qual foi utilizada uma poesia como recurso pedagógico. Se enquadrando em uma pesquisa qualitativa, utilizamos o método de categorização de falas, onde as mesmas foram agrupadas em três categorias: 1) “A poesia como recurso problematizador”; 2) “Abordagem superficial sobre questões ambientais”; e 3) “A escrita de poesia como método avaliativo”. Ao longo da discussão pôde-se perceber a importância do planejamento da aula e a reflexão em conjunto, pois um ponto passou despercebido pelo olhar das professoras que foi a abordagem superficial sobre questões ambientais. Outro ponto relatado foi a interação professor-aluno que foi proporcionada pela problematização feita por meio da poesia “Latas, de Manoel de Barros”. Além disso, a atividade avaliativa proposta também, demonstrou mais um momento de troca de ideias entre professoras e alunos. Percebe-se, portanto, o potencial da poesia como recurso problematizador da realidade e seu exercício de escrita como método avaliativo, além de que é preciso haver discussões mais consistentes sobre as questões ambientais.

UKRAINIAN PRACTICES OF SURROGATE MOTHERHOOD IN THE WORLD TRENDS OF BIOPOLITICS
Authors: Strebkova Yulia
Published: December 2020

Reproductive, surrogate, abortion and other types of medical tourism are evidence of the demand for certain practices and unresolved biopolitical issues at the level of legislation of different countries with different attitudes to socio-economic and biological inequality. Ukraine is remaining the center of world reproductive tourism. In the large cities of Ukraine, the reproductive business is developing and there are clinics that provide services using assisted reproductive technologies. This actualizes the problem of unresolved biopolitical issues and strengthens their impact on surrogacy practices in Ukraine. Needs of deep socio-philosophical analyses of problems of surrogacy is reasoned, especially when it comes to ethics of risk. It is noted that laws which rule surrogacy, lags behind reproductive and social practices and needs. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the legislation in biopolitics is relevant for a short time: to a new stage of development of technological potentiality. Legislation on surrogacy in Ukraine is more regulated and in part more progressive than in many countries around the world, and based on genetic relatedness. The challenges and threats to the Ukrainian society, which are hiding in prohibitive legislative initiatives in the field of reproduction, have been clarified. An analysis of recent abolitionist initiatives, including those from religious organizations, has been conducted. It has been shown that the protection against exploitation invoked by abolitionists is achieved in a clearly disproportionate and burdensome way for women themselves. Conclusion that in order to avoid negative biopolitical scenarios, Ukrainian society should avoid moral panic, form a special respect for technology and scientific knowledge, recognize the authority of socio-humanitarian research and appreciate data obtained by scientists have been done.
Restricted Effect of Two Plant Root Systems on the Crack Expansion of China Yunnan Laterite under Dry-wet Cycle
Authors: Weiwei Zhu, Guojian Feng, Jun Du
Published: December 2020

In order to research the restricted effect of hedera nepalensis root systems and heteropogon contortus root systems on the crack expansion of Yunnan laterite under dry-wet cycle, this paper prepares Yunnan laterite with certain moisture content, and makes the compacted samples of pure laterite and composite soil mixed with root systems by adopting hedera nepalensis root systems and heteropogon contortus root systems respectively, and then simulates the dry-wet cycle of laterite in engineering (i.e., rainfalls and evaporations), measures the crack width of samples experiencing different cycles, and makes statistical analysis on the average maximum crack width of samples in all groups by adopting the method of indoor spraying and natural drying. The result indicates that, 10% and 20% mixed hedera nepalensis root systems can exert obvious restrictions on the crack expansion of Yunnan laterite after dry-wet cycle, while 30% mixed hedera nepalensis root systems and 10% mixed heteropogon contortus root systems can also restrict the crack expansion of Yunnan laterite, but the restricted effect is weaker. As for 20% and 30% mixed heteropogon contortus root systems, composite soil samples will disintegrate after the 2nd dry-wet cycle.
The research on a Multipath Forwarding Strategy in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Fan Jingjing, Zhao Jianguang, Liu xiaoqun
Published: December 2020

Wireless communication signals are unstable, WSN network topology changes frequently, network dynamics are strong, and single path forwarding is difficult to provide high quality of service. A vector address-based end-to-end multi-path forwarding mechanism and path recovery algorithm are proposed. Although a single path cannot continuously guarantee network connection, multiple paths together can provide network connection with high reliability. In this method, the caller applies for and stores multiple relatively independent communication paths, and ranks them for use according to the path cost. The experimental results show that the performance of the above method is significantly improved.

Published: December 2020

In this work, effect of bearing length on tensile strength was investigated. The influence of the bearing length is illustrated using two different reduction ratios and wire diameters. According to the results, the increase in strength was observed as the length of the bearing zone increased. However, the long bearing length caused various manufacturing problems during production. Microhardness distributions in wire cross section, on the other hand, increased as the length of bearing increased. The main reason for the increase of microhardness is the deformation hardening caused by the high friction force obtained by increasing the bearing length.

Introduction: The viscera play a key role in the accommodation of recurring forces of their own weight, being influenced by the membranes that surround them. Analysis of the outermost membranes demonstrates that its anatomy makes direct connections with the membranes and fasciae that form the joint capsule of the shoulder. The functionality of this region is maintained through the synergism between these various membranes. One of the major causes of shoulder dysfunction is the lack of muscle flexibility and fascial adhesions that may interfere with the functionality of the shoulder joint. Objective: This study aims to compare the efficacy of visceral manipulation and dry needling and propose a therapeutic protocol for the capsular ligament affections of the shoulders. Method: Experimental study of pre and post cohort type, composed of 30 subjects with pain and decreased range of motion in the shoulder, performed from December 2016 to November 2017. Data collection was performed by electromyography, goniometry and visual analog scale (VAS) and immediately after was applied the visceral manipulation or dry needling or both and were reassessed. The data were submitted to a statistical analysis in which was used the software GraphPad Prism 4 with level of significance of 95% (p˂0.05). Results: It was verified that there was a higher prevalence in the liver, it was also observed in post-application electromyography of the visceral mobilization and Dry Needling that the deltoid presented superior performance. Conclusion: The method mobilization and dry needling showed benefit for the glenohumeral joint, which may be others form of treatment.

This study was conducted in 2018, under open field conditions in Adıyaman Province of Turkey to determine the effects of farm manure, vermicompost and plant growth regulators on yield and some fruit quality parameter of watermelon. Matured farm manure, vermicompost and three different plant growth regulators (Crop-Set, Endoroots and ISR-2000) were used to compare with control (not fertilizers applied) application. Vermicompost, farm manure, Endoroots, ISR-2000 and Crop-Set were applied to the plants at 150 kg, 2 tons, 250 g, 60 cc and 90 cc da-1 doses, respectively. The highest yield result was obtained from Endoroots application (11.630 tons da-1). Fruit weight varied between 2.93 (control) kg and 5.01 kg (vermicompost). Higher results were observed from vermicompost application for fruit weight, fruit width, fruit height, phenolic. Total Soluble Solids (TSS) was recorded statistically significant for Endoroots application. Applied plant growth regulators, farm manure and vermicompost fertilizers had significant effects on pomological and phenological characteristics of watermelon under semi-arid conditions. The highest results have been determined from Endoroots and vermicompost applications. As a result of this study, Endoroots (250 g da-1) and vermicompost (150 kg da-1) fertilizers can be concluded as a beneficial application for watermelon cultivation.
Effect of Explants and Low Cost Medium on Morphogenic Response of Aerial Stem and Rhizome Bud Explants of Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) for Plant Regeneration
Authors: Upendri Hewa Fonsekage Lakma , Seran Thayamini H.
Published: December 2020

This study was done to select suitable explants and low cost medium for plant regeneration of turmeric. Therefore, the different explants were excised from the aerial stems and rhizome buds and surface sterilized. The sterilized explants were cultured on MS medium fortified with 2.0 mg/l BAP. From the survived aerial stem explants, 0.5 cm long vertical half of the aerial stem explants exhibited somatic embryogenic response (69.7%). The highest morphogenic response (74%) of shoot bud initiation was observed from the top slice of the surviving rhizome bud explants. Further, Yara Mila complex fertilizer, which is an ideal granular fertilizer mixture, was used as an alternative to MS medium. Three different concentrations of Yara Mila complex fertilizer (1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 g/l ) supplemented with 2.0 mg/l BAP each were tested with the MS medium fortified with 2.0 mg/l BAP (control treatment) for in vitro establishment from aerial stem explants and top slice of the rhizome bud explants. Both explants were surface sterilized and cultured on MS medium and different concentrations of Yara Mila complex fertilizer fortified with 2.0 mg/l BAP. From the survived explants, aerial stem explants exhibited somatic embryogenic response (69.7%) and shoot bud initiation (74%) on normal MS media. The higher performances were observed in 1.0 g/l concentration of complex fertilizer incorporated medium with 51% embryogenic response from the aerial stem explants and 52.3% shoot bud formation response from the top slice of the rhizome bud. The cost of 1 kg complex fertilizer was Rs. 182. It could be concluded that complex fertilizer is a cost effective alternative medium for MS medium for in vitro propagation reducing the cost of the substituted ingredients by 99.87% in the tissue culture of turmeric.

Published: December 2020

Youth with disabilities negotiate social interaction with peers with several notable disadvantages in ableist culture. In addition, the characterizations of both real and fictional characters in mass media, particularly television, have an impact as well. However, youth with disabilities are significantly underrepresented in television series. Using the model of social relations by Alan Fiske and descriptive research design, we quantitatively examined the televisual characterization of a youth who acquires a disability in the television drama Friday Night Lights. We found that using the Fiskeian social model helped to uncover the social reality of disability as portrayed through youthful social interactions, which we closely tracked in the first season of this program. We situate this reality in the broader context of cultural narratives about disability in mass media.
The Three-parameters Marshall-Olkin Generalized Weibull Model with Properties and Different Applications to Real Data Sets
Authors: Khalil Mohamed G. , Kamel Wagdy M.
Published: December 2020

A new three-parameter life parametric model called the Marshall-Olkin generalized Weibull is defined and studied. Relevant properties are mathematically derived and analyzed. The new density exhibits various important symmetric and asymmetric shapes with different useful kurtosis. The new failure rate can be “constant”, “upside down-constant (reversed U-HRF-constant)”, “increasing then constant”, “monotonically increasing”, “J-HRF” and “monotonically decreasing”. The method of maximum likelihood is employed to estimate the unknown parameters. A graphical simulation is performed to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimation. We checked and proved empirically the importance, applicability and flexibility of the new Weibull model in modeling various symmetric and asymmetric types of data. The new distribution has a high ability to model different symmetric and asymmetric types of data.
