Authors: Shakir Dhifaf Talal , Al-Qureshy Hassan Jassim , Hreshee Saad S.
Published: January 2023

The frequency oscillator is a basic component found in many electrical, electronic, and communications circuits and systems. Oscillators come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the frequency range employed in a given application. Some applications need oscillators that generate low frequencies and other applications need oscillators that generate extremely high and high frequencies. As a result of the expansion and speed of modern technologies, new oscillators appeared that operating at extremely high frequencies. Most wireless communication systems are constrained in their performance by the accuracy and stability of the reference frequency. Because of its compatibility with silicon, micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) is the preferred technology for circuit integration and power reduction. MEMS are a rapidly evolving area of advanced microelectronics. The integration of electrical and mechanical components at the micro size is referred to as a MEMS. MEMS based oscillators have demonstrated tremendous high frequency application potential in recent years. This is owing to their great characteristics such as small size, integration of CMOS IC technology, high frequency-quality factor product, low power consumption, and cheap batch manufacturing cost. This paper's primary objective is to describe the performance of MEMS oscillator technology in high-frequency applications, as well as to discuss the challenges of developing a new MEMS oscillator capable of operating at gigahertz frequencies.

Published: January 2023

With the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT), the network devices seem to be raising, and the cloud data centre load also raises; certain delay-sensitive services are not responded to promptly which leads to a reduced quality of service (QoS). The technique of resource estimation could offer the appropriate source for users through analyses of load of resource itself. Thus, the prediction of resource QoS was important to user fulfillment and task allotment in edge computing. This study develops a new manta ray foraging optimization with backpropagation neural network (MRFO-BPNN) model for resource estimation using quality of service (QoS) in the edge computing platform. Primarily, the MRFO-BPNN model makes use of BPNN algorithm for the estimation of resources in edge computing. Besides, the parameters relevant to the BPNN model are adjusted effectually by the use of MRFO algorithm. Moreover, an objective function is derived for the MRFO algorithm for the investigation of load state changes and choosing proper ones. To facilitate the enhanced performance of the MRFO-BPNN model, a widespread experimental analysis is made. The comprehensive comparison study highlighted the excellency of the MRFO-BPNN model.

Authors: LAZAROV Lazarin , TOSCANO Michael
Published: January 2023

The aim of this article is to present the possibility of reducing sternum fractures (KBF) in laying hens by using calcium particulate 2 hours before turning off the lights (CaT), alone or in combination with 25-hydroxyholecalciferol (Hyd). For the experiment, a total of 240 birds were used that were exposed to one of four treatment combinations in a 2X2 factorial design (Factor 1: CaT+ or Control (CaT-); Factor 2: Hyd vs. Control (Hyd-). All birds were housed in a commercial aviary until 33 weeks of age when they were moved to a test barn and randomly assigned to one of the eight pens (30 hens/pen). After one week of habituation to the novel housing, all birds began to receive one of the four treatment combinations (n = 2 replicate pens/treatment combinations). The ability of the treatment combinations to reduce fracture susceptibility was tested using an ex vivo impact testing protocol. After 39 weeks of age the keels were removed and scored for damage using an established three-point severity scale. The likelihood of an experimental fracture occurring in the CaT-/Hyd- was 3.6 times more likely compared to the CaT+ /Hyd+ treatment (1.1 to 5.8).

Published: January 2023

This paper presents the experimental results obtained from a long-term experience after 29 years of fertilization with nitrogen and phosphorus. The applied nitrogen derived from ammonium nitrate and phosphorus from concentrated superphosphate (in dosages of 0, 40, 80, 120, 160 kg/ha). The application of phosphorus fertilizers led to very significant increases of mobile phosphorus content for all application dosages. Mobile phosphorus values increased from 60 mg/kg for P0 to 204 mg/kg for P160 kg/ha. Total phosphorus presented very significant increases for the application dosages of 80, 120 and 160 kg/ha (from 0.094% P for the unfertilized control to 0.146% P for the 160 kg P/ha dosage). Mobile potassium level decrease in soil as a result of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization. The ammonium nitrate determined a decrease of the soil reaction and varied depending on the applied dosage, from 5.75 for the unfertilized control to 5.37 pH units.

Castor bean is an important oil plant, which in Romania is cultivated on small areas for scientific, ornamental, industrial and medicinal purposes. Having into consideration the importance of the crop in the past, respectively up to 1989, when Romania was the sixth largest cultivator of castor bean in the world, and having in view the great importance of its oil, it can be said that in Romania the castor bean has a real potential to develop in the future.Optimizing row spacing and plant density has a significant influence on seed yield. Therefore, our research focused on determining the optimal combination of row spacing and plant density to obtain the best yield under the environmental conditions specific to the South Romania and taking into account the phenotypic expression of the cultivated variety. Researches were performed in field conditions at the Agricultural and Development Research Station Teleorman located in Teleorman County in South Romania, in the years 2019 and 2020 and on cambic chernozem soil conditions. The experiment was placed according to the method of subdivided plots into 3 replications, with the following factors: Factor A - row spacing, with 4 graduations (30, 50, 70 and 90 cm); Factor B - plant density, with 3 graduations (40,000, 60,000 and 80,000 plants/ha); Factor C - castor bean variety, with 2 graduations (Teleorman and Rivlas). The results of the performed research proved that decreasing the row spacing is associated with decreasing of yield, while increasing the plant density is associated with increasing of yield. The Rivlas variety turned out to be more productive than the Teleorman variety.

Published: January 2023

The breeding of indigenous Croatian goat breeds is most often marked by extreme extensiveness and very low profitability and production efficiency. Possible additional income opportunity for breeders of indigenous goats is provided by the offer of their products through agritourism. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the awareness of consumers and their knowledge of the indigenous Croatian goat breeds and determine the perception of the potential of indigenous goats and/or their products as a part of agritourism offer. An online survey was conducted on a sample of 353 respondents. More than two thirds of the respondents would more often visit an agritourism where indigenous goats are kept and/or which offer their products. Almost half of the respondents believe that the products of the indigenous breeds are of better quality than the products of other goats, while one third of the respondents think that the products of the indigenous goats should be more expensive than the products of other goats. These results provide an informative basis for the development of innovative marketing strategies for agritourism owners who could enrich their offer with the introduction of autochthonous (local) products.

Authors: VLADASEL(PASARESCU) Adela Constanta , PIENARU Adriana Magdalena
Published: January 2023

Rainfall and surface water runoff are valuable resources, and this should be reflected in the way it is managed and used in our cities and towns in Romania. It can provide beauty, enhance biodiversity, improve buildings, places, and spaces. Also, it helps making them more adaptive and resilient to climate change, which is one of the biggest challenges in the world. The SuDS philosophy is about maximising the benefits and minimising the negative impacts of surface water runoff from developed areas. Moreover, SuDS are designed to manage the flood and pollution risks resulting from urban runoff but also to contribute wherever possible to environmental enhancement and place making. With this in mind, the multi-functionality and multiple benefits of SuDS should always be considered. Going forward, in most of the towns and cities there are opportunities to better manage surface water - replacing the old systems that discharge rain and runoff to the drains and sewers with new ones which capture rain, manage surface water runoff, and deliver multiple benefits.

Published: January 2023

Light is one of the main factors that influences the greatest phenomenon of nature, namely photosynthesis. In modern society, excessive artificial light at night (ALAN) in the conditions of the urban environment can be considered as an external polluting factor as well. The purpose of this study carried out on Taxus baccata L. (1-year old leaves - PYL and the current year - CYL ones) grown as a hedge in urban conditions was to explore the effects of ALAN on leaves morphology, gas exchanges and associated indicators, as well as on assimilatory pigments content. The results showed that: (1) The leaves length (LL)(mm) of CYL, as well as surface area (cm<sup<2</sup<) and leaf length to width ratio (LL/LW) were significantly lower under ALAN, than in normal (day/night cycle) light (NL). For PYL, no significant differences were noticed in the case of LL, while significantly lower values have been registered in the case of LW and leaf area to leaf fresh weight (AFWR); (2) Net photosynthesis (A) had significantly higher values during the springtime for PYL in NL as against ALAN, but opposite data have been noticed in June. The quantum yield (φCO<sub<2</sub<), water use efficiency (WUE) as well as transpiration rate (T) and stomatal conductance (g<sub<s</sub<) proved to be affected by the light conditions. (3) The values for the content of chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b), total chlorophyll (TC) and carotenoids (C) were generally as that known for plants in general, with a higher amount of Chl a for PYL-ALAN, as compared to those for CYL-ALAN, or CYL-NL. Further research should be applied by the scientific community to monitor the impact of different light systems during the night and counteract the ALAN impact on plants and ecosystem.

Climate change represents one of the greatest environmental challenges of the 21<sup<st</sup< century, accentuated by deforestation and the degradation of habitats. Changes in vital aspects such as temperature, the amount and distribution of rainfall or the frequency of extreme meteorological phenomena will probably negatively affect ecosystems. The possibilities of invasion will predictably increase, being endemic species especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Invasive species are extremely adaptable to climate variability, as evidenced by their current large latitudinal ranges. Generally, invasive plants also have rapid dispersal characteristics, allowing them to vary their ranges in response to changing climatic conditions rapidly. As a result, these species could become more dominant in many areas under changing climatic conditions. In many situations, the environmental stress generated by climate change and invasive plants are synergistic: invasive species can exacerbate the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, and in the same way, climate change can allow new invasions.

When policies and programmes are designed and implemented successfully by governments, it tends to improve development indices such as reducing poverty, when governance is good. The paper examined the impact of governance, public expenditure and trade on poverty reduction in some selected Sub-Saharan African countries, using Pool Mean Group (PMG) with data spanned for 21 years (1996-2016). The results show a long-run association between governance, public expenditure, trade and poverty reduction in SSA. Also, control of corruption, political stability, government expenditure, and trade reduces poverty by enhancing the Human Development Index (HDI) in the long run. This outcome implies that improving governance (control of corruption and political stability) is vital for reducing poverty as it increases the adequate performance of public expenditure and as well as promote trade in SSA.
