Validation of Strength Characteristics in the Modernization of a River Ship
Authors: Denev Yordan
Published: February 2025

The article examines the issue related to the strength of the ship after its modernization. The modernization involves a change in its purpose from a tanker to a bulk cargo ship intended to navigate on rivers in a third navigation area. Models of the midship sections of both types of ships were developed in the MARS Inland software to validate the quality characteristics. In the initial construction of the ship, it lacks a double bottom. During the modernization phase, a double bottom structure is installed and the height of the frames along the bottom is increased. Constructive changes have also been made to the main deck area, including the addition of hatch comings after removing a significant portion of it, allowing for unrestricted cargo-handling activities. The analysis conducted revealed that the change in resistance moments relative to the deck and the bottom of the ship is insignificant during the modernization, despite the fact that the conversion is carried out when the ship is afloat. Furthermore, the analysis shows that this type of modernization can be carried out without issues in terms of the ship's hull strength.

Published: February 2025

This paper explores the diverse applications of Silicon Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (Si MOSFET) power switch devices in Class E circuit switching. Class E circuit is known for their exceptional efficiency and adaptability across a wide range of applications. However, the performance of Class E circuit can be significantly affected by parasitic components, particularly parasitic capacitors, which play a crucial role in the operation of the converter. This is because parasitic capacitors in Si MOSFET have the potential to increase switching losses in the power converter circuit by storing and releasing energy during switching transitions and can limit the speed of MOSFET switching. The study has determined that IRF510 combined with the TC 4422 driver achieves an efficiency of 98.21%, making it the most suitable switching device for high-frequency Class E circuit. Therefore, achieving Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) of a Class E circuit is attainable by carefully selecting the appropriate power switch device and considering the value of parasitic capacitances to mitigate voltage spikes and ringing effects.

Published: February 2025

This paper presents an improved variant of the Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO) algorithm. The optimization method of the original MRFO is a combination of random and spiral strategies. Like other optimization algorithms, MRFO still has a limitation when applied to a complex real-world problem. In this work, mating strategy of a barnacle species is incorporated into the MRFO algorithm. It allows good features of the parent manta ray to be inherited by its offspring thus creating a high-quality population. The proposed algorithm is applied to acquire a dynamic model of an electric water heater. A fuzzy-Hammerstein model is chosen as the candidate model for the water heater considering electrical voltage and water temperature as the input and output responses respectively. The result of the modelling has shown MRFO and the proposed MRFO variant have satisfactorily acquired the dynamic model of the water heater. The improved MRFO variant has tracked the output temperature response more accurately than the original MRFO at costs 425 and 508 respectively.

Published: February 2025

Water pollution has become an alarming issue over the years in line with the country’s development. This study was conducted to determine the efficiency and characteristics of bamboo fibre and oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibre as a filter. The bamboo and oil palm EFB were extracted and pressed to produce three types of non-woven fibre filter which are oil palm EFB, bamboo and a combination of bamboo and oil palm EFB. The Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis shows that the oil palm EFB fibre has a rough and porous surface structure while the bamboo fibre has a smooth surface with thick wall characteristics. Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis shows the element composition detected in the oil palm EFB and bamboo are oxygen, carbon, silicon, calcium and potassium. The Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy displays the functional groups found in oil palm EFB fibre are hydroxyl group, carbonyl group and aromatic groups, while the bamboo fibre contains hydroxyl, alkyl and aromatic groups. A filtration experiment was conducted to evaluate the performances of the fibre filters. Results show mixed fibre filter had better performance than other filter with DO concentration of 8.645 mg/L, COD concentration of 1 mg/L, AN removal of 44.2% and TSS removal of 57.1%. Oil palm EFB fibre showed significant turbidity removal of 2.1%, while bamboo fibre attained the lowest BOD concentration of 2.7 mg/L. The water quality index obtained indicates the river water was slightly polluted before and after using the fibre filter with the highest value of 67.99 obtained by using mixed fibre filter.

Published: February 2025

Nowadays, the primary uses of nickel are in batteries, high-temperature applications, and corrosive environments. The use of nickel as the main alloying element has increased as the number of electric and hybrid vehicles has risen. As a result, the price of nickel had reached its maximum and was currently varying to draw in manufacturers. The alloy Ni-Resist is one that is affected. This occurred as a result of nickel being utilized at least 10% of the time as the primary alloying element in Ni-Resist. It is necessary to test other alloying elements in order to lower the percentage. Therefore, in order to lower processing costs, the nickel weight used in this work to create the ductile Ni-resist alloy was decreased. Ten weight percent of nickel and up to twelve weight percent of chromium and manganese were added during the melting process. Subsequently, the influence of the alloying elements was examined concerning its microstructure behavior. After the alloy solidified, the dendritic formation was then characterized in order to assess its size and dimension. Afterwards, the altered alloy was contrasted with traditional ductile iron.

Published: February 2025

Recycled fibres often exhibit reduced conformability and inter-fibre bonding capability compared to virgin fibres due to hornification. However, the lost potential of recycled pulp can be reclaimed through various methods, including mechanical beating, additive utilization, physical fractionation, and blending. This study focuses on the blending approach, utilizing oil palm frond fibre to enhance the strength of paper made from recycled pulp. Despite the widespread cultivation of oil palm trees in Malaysia, the utilization of oil palm fibre remains limited, often being regarded as waste. Two different chemical pulping methods, namely sodium hydroxide and sodium sulphite, were employed to produce pulp from oil palm frond fibre, with the addition of anthraquinone to enhance pulping yield. Three different weight percentages of fibre loading (25%, 45%, or 65%) were used, with the remaining content supplemented with newspaper pulp. The resulting paper was evaluated for tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and examined using scanning electron microscopy to observe its morphology. The findings indicate that sulphite-soda anthraquinone treatment yielded superior pulp for paper production, and a 45% weight percentage of fibre loading exhibited the highest tensile strength, yielding the best paper quality. Overall, this study highlights the potential of incorporating oil palm frond fibre into the pulp and papermaking process, contributing to both economic growth and environmental sustainability.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the management and reporting of regional assets at the Regional Finance and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Mahakam Ulu Regency, and to formulate strategies to optimize asset management and reporting in the region. The approach used in this study is post-positivism, which allows researchers to view asset management not only technically, but also in the social, political, and ideological contexts that influence public policy. Using qualitative methods, this study explores the perceptions and experiences of stakeholders involved in asset management, through in-depth interviews with key informants, including the Head of BPKAD and other related parties. The results of the study indicate that there are several factors that influence the effectiveness of asset management and reporting, including limited human resources, technological infrastructure problems, lack of coordination between SKPDs, and support from regional leaders. This study also formulates several strategies to overcome these obstacles, namely increasing human resource capacity through ongoing training, improving technological infrastructure, especially to improve internet access in remote areas, strengthening regulations and monitoring, and increasing coordination between SKPDs. With these strategies, it is hoped that asset management and reporting in Mahakam Ulu Regency can run more effectively, transparently, and accountably. This research provides an important contribution to regional asset management policy and can be a reference for further research in the field of regional governance.

How does the collaborative innovation network in construction industry evolve? Evidence from China
Authors: Wang Fangliang , Cheng Min
Published: February 2025

Technology innovation in the construction industry involves collaboration among multiple innovation organizations which formed an intricate collaborative innovation network (CIN). To understand the evolution characteristics of structural characteristics of CIN in China’s construction industry and to clarify the collaborative patterns among innovation organizations, the CIN were analyzed in terms of overall network characteristics and local collaborative patterns by using the social network analysis (SNA) and network motif analysis (NMA), respectively based on the data of projects winning the China’s Science and Technology Award in Construction (CSTAC) in 2004–2021. The results indicate that the CIN became larger but less connected and exhibited scale-free and small-world characteristics during the study period. There is a giant component in the CIN, which is gradually increasing in size and becoming more cohesive. China Academy of Building Research which had the highest degree centrality and closeness centrality and Tongji University which had the largest betweenness centrality had an important position in CIN. The main collaborative innovation mode in China’s construction industry is collaboration between enterprises, followed by collaboration between enterpriseuniversity, which has an increasing share. The results help organizations clarify their position in the CIN and inform their development of co-innovation partners.
Mapping the Active Galactic Nucleus Effects on the Stellar and Gas Properties of NGC 5806
Authors: Robbins Sophie L. , Raimundo Sandra I. , Malkan Matthew A.
Published: February 2025

It is commonly accepted that active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have a strong impact upon the evolution of their host galaxies, but the processes by which they do so are not fully understood. We aim to further the understanding of AGN feeding and feedback by examining an active galaxy using spatially resolved spectroscopy. We analyze integral field spectroscopy of the active galaxy NGC 5806, obtained using the Very Large Telescope Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer. We map the dynamics of gas and stars, as well as gas optical emission line fluxes throughout the central 8 × 8 kpc2 of the galaxy. We use emission line ratios to map gas metallicity and identify regions of gas excitation dominated by AGN/shocks or star formation. We also determine the average stellar population age and metallicity, and model the rotation and dynamics of the galaxy. We find that NGC 5806 has a star-forming circumnuclear ring, with a projected radius of ~400 pc. The dynamics of this galaxy are driven by a large-scale bar, which transports gas from the spiral arm to the central ring and potentially fuels the AGN. We also observe AGN-dominated gas excitation up to 3.3 kpc away from the center of the galaxy, showing the extended AGN effect on the gas in the central regions of the galaxy.
Progenitor Diversity in the Accreted Stellar Halos of Milky Way–like Galaxies

Published: February 2025

Ongoing large stellar spectroscopic surveys of the Milky Way seek to reconstruct the major events in the assembly history of the Galaxy. Chemical and kinematic observations can be used to separate the contributions of different progenitor galaxies to the present-day stellar halo. Here, we compute the number of progenitors that contribute to the accreted stellar halos of simulated Milky Way–like galaxies as a function of radius (the radial diversity) in three suites of models: Bullock & Johnston, Aquarius, and Auriga. We show that there are significant differences between the predictions of these three models, beyond the halo-to-halo scatter expected in ΛCDM. Predictions of diversity from numerical simulations are sensitive to model-dependent assumptions regarding the efficiency of star formation in dwarf galaxies. We compare, at face value, to current constraints on the radial diversity of the Milky Way's accreted halo. These constraints imply that the halo of our Galaxy is dominated by ∼2 progenitors in the range 8–45 kpc, in contrast to averages of 7 progenitors in the Bullock & Johnston models, 3.5 in Aquarius, and 4.2 in Auriga over the same region. We additionally find that the models with radial diversity most similar to that of the Milky Way are predominantly those with ongoing merger events. The Milky Way therefore appears unusual in having an accreted stellar halo dominated by a small number of progenitors accreted at very early times.
AEOS: Transport of Metals from Minihalos following Population III Stellar Feedback

Published: February 2025

We investigate how stellar feedback from the first stars (Population III) distributes metals through the interstellar and intergalactic medium using the star-by-star cosmological hydrodynamics simulation, Aeos. We find that energy injected from the supernovae (SNe) of the first stars is enough to expel a majority of gas and injected metals beyond the virial radius of halos with mass M
dm ≲ 107
M
⊙, regardless of the number of SNe. This prevents self-enrichment and results in a nonmonotonic increase in metallicity at early times. Most minihalos (M
dm ≳ 105
M
⊙) do not retain significant fractions of the yields produced within their virial radii until they have grown to halo masses of M
dm ≳ 107
M
⊙. The loss of metals to regions well beyond the virial radius delays the onset of enriched star formation and extends the period that Population III star formation can persist. We also explore the contributions of different nucleosynthetic channels to 10 individual elements. On the timescale of the simulation (lowest redshift z = 14.3), enrichment is dominated by core-collapse supernovae for all elements, but with a significant contribution from asymptotic giant branch winds to the s-process elements, which are normally thought to only be important at late times. In this work, we establish important mechanisms for early chemical enrichment, which allows us to apply Aeos in later epochs to trace the evolution of enrichment during the complete transition from Population III to Population II stars.
Through the lens of the taxonomist: combined morphological and molecular analysis in defining species of the genus Gyrodactylus
Authors: Vancheva Nina , Bobeva Aneliya , Kazakov Stefan , Georgiev Boyko
Published: February 2025

Very little is known about the species richness and distribution of the genus Gyrodactylus von Nordmann, 1932 parasitising on spined loaches (Cobitidae) in Bulgaria and elsewhere. The only Bulgarian records to date are barely supported by morphological data and include the Bulgarian endemic G. matovi Ergens, Kakacheva-Avramova, 1966 and G. latus Bychowsky, 1933, both reported from Cobitis taenia Linnaeus, 1758. The controversy of these findings is amplified by the fact that recent ichthyological studies reveal that the reported host species is not present in Bulgaria but two other species of Cobitis inhabit Bulgarian rivers. The genus Sabanejewia Vladykov, 1929 has also been examined but has not been found to harbour any monogeneans. In an attempt to unravel their ectoparasitic fauna, spined loaches of the genera Cobitis and Sabanejewia were sampled from 11 rivers across the country, belonging to the Danube watershed and the Aegean Sea basins. The analysis of the collected monogeneans included a morphological examination of the haptoral hard parts and a molecular analysis of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 fragment of the ribosomal DNA. The results revealed one previously undescribed species for the genus Sabanejewia, one undescribed species parasitic on both Cobitis and Sabanejewia, one undescribed species from the genus Cobitis and the presence of G. latus, whose sequence is yet unpublished. All described parasites were collected from fish from different localities.
Lilium huanglongense (Liliaceae): a newly-discovered species in north-western Sichuan, China
Authors: Wang Ting , Yuan Yumei , Zhou Ting-Hong , Gao Yundong
Published: February 2025

In this study, we describe Lilium huanglongense, a newly-discovered lily species identified following extensive surveys in an undeveloped area of the Huanglong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan, China. This region, located in the Hengduan Mountains of south-western China, is recognised as one of the world’s prominent biodiversity hotspots, providing diverse habitats for a wide range of plant species. Morphologically, L. huanglongense resembles Lilium fargesii Franch., which is distributed in central China, as well as other tepal-recurved members of the section Lophophora (Bureau & Franch.) F. T. Wang & Ts. Tang. This section comprises dwarf lilies predominantly found in the alpine scrub of the Hengduan Mountains, extending westwards into the Himalayas. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using both nuclear ITS and chloroplast genomes confirm the independent status of the new species and its placement within the section Lophophora. The identification of this new species helps to fill the distribution gap between broad-leaved forest and alpine scrub species within the section, thereby enhancing our understanding of the diversity and distribution history of Lophophora.

The freshwater gastropod family Cochliopidae is a diverse component of the subterranean fauna in the karst and hyporheic habitats of western Texas and northern Mexico, with 11 genera and 27 described species found in the region. Building on previous phylogenetic studies of the family in the region we incorporate additional sampling, DNA, and morphological study for systematic revision of species found in the western Edwards-Trinity Aquifer System and associated karst and hyporheic habitats. We describe three new species, Stygopyrgus variabilissp. nov., Stygopyrgus gracilissp. nov., and Phreatodrobia embossasp. nov. and revise the generic placement of two others, Texapyrgus diabolicomb. nov. and Balconorbis coronaecomb. nov.
La co-construction du contrôle de gestion dans une administration en réforme
Authors: Benoit Benjamin
Published: February 2025

Dans un contexte de réforme concrétisée par des changements de pratiques comptables, une administration publique française a conçu et mis en place sa nouvelle programmation budgétaire qui fait partie de son système de contrôle de gestion (SCG). Prenant appui sur des travaux analysant des échecs du contrôle de gestion, cette recherche qualitative reposant sur des entretiens, observations et documents, et proposant une narration, mobilise le modèle de la réforme du management public (PMR – Pollitt et Bouckaert, 2017) pour comprendre comment l’outil s’est déployé et a été adopté. L’examen de la fabrique d’un SCG approprié comme réponse à l’échec inexorable de toute tentative de changement (Brunsson, 2006b) montre une dynamique de co-construction multiniveau. La dimension temporelle d’un processus de co-construction articulé en séquences, avec des temps forts mobilisant différents acteurs et le partage d’un langage commun comme véhicule de consensus, propose une voie de dépassement au paradoxe de la réforme. En identifiant les caractéristiques et enjeux du processus de co-construction, cette contribution propose une définition de la co-construction en contrôle de gestion et un raffinement du modèle PMR qui invitent à des recherches complémentaires sur ce concept qui apparaît insuffisamment exploré dans les recherches comptables.

Par son arrêt Sanchez c. France , la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme a jugé que la condamnation pénale d’une personnalité politique pour s’être abstenu de supprimer les commentaires haineux publiés par des tiers sur le mur de son compte Facebook était une ingérence admissible dans la liberté d’expression. Cet arrêt, qui étend le champ d’application de la jurisprudence initiée par l’arrêt Delfi AS c. Estonie , pose la question de l’admissibilité de la responsabilité pénale d’une personne physique à l’occasion du fait d’autrui à l’aune des droits fondamentaux qui sont en conflit dans la lutte contre le discours de haine.
Les collections biographiques et leur place dans l’historiographie arabe médiévale
Authors: Van Renterghem Vanessa
Published: February 2025

Les collections biographiques sont une composante caractéristique de l’historiographie arabe médiévale. Organisées de façon chronologique, alphabétique ou autre, elles rassemblent des centaines, des milliers, voire des dizaines de milliers, de notices biographiques dédiées aux hommes et aux femmes ayant laissé une trace dans l’histoire, soit en raison de leurs actions politique ou militaire, soit par leurs œuvres ou leur contribution aux sciences religieuses ou profanes. Malgré leur diversité en termes d’organisation et de centres d’intérêt, elles peuvent être réunies sous une unique catégorie de par leur nature même : un assemblage de notices structurellement analogues, consacrées à des personnages ayant réellement vécu, choisis en raison de leur détention d’une qualité commune, et ordonnées selon une logique interne réfléchie par l’auteur. Souvent désignées par les termes, plus restrictifs, de ṭabaqāt (classes, générations) ou de « dictionnaires biographiques », ces collections forment de fait un sous-genre de l’historiographie arabe, dont la naissance remonte au iie/viiie siècle. Après avoir présenté quelques caractéristiques générales du genre, le présent article en retrace l’histoire, et examine les usages que les historien.ne.s ont faits de ces ouvrages depuis la seconde moitié du xxe siècle.
Ḫabar et récit de vie dans le Ṭawq al-ḥamāma fī l-ulfa wa-l-ullāf d’Ibn Ḥazm (m. 454/1034)
Authors: Foulon Brigitte
Published: February 2025

Cet article interroge la contribution du Ṭawq al-ḥamāma fī l-ulfa wa-l-ullāf d’Ibn Ḥazm (m. 454/1034) à la formation du genre « récit de vie » dans la littérature arabe. L’accent est mis sur l’identité littéraire de cette œuvre qui, du fait de sa valeur documentaire, a jusqu’à présent surtout suscité l’intérêt des historiens : quarante récits sont examinés sous l’angle de la construction de leurs personnages, de leur structure textuelle et narrative et des portraits de l’amour qu’ils développent du point de vue émotionnel et éthique. L’analyse narratologique proposée ici vise ainsi à décrire la formation d’un discours à caractère biographique ou autobiographique à travers le croisement d’un ensemble de ḫabar-s, dont l’amour sous ses différents états est en apparence le thème unique.
Quand un prince prend lui-même la plume : les « Mémoires » de ʿAbd Allāh b. Zīrī de Grenade (xie siècle)
Authors: Tixier du Mesnil Emmanuelle
Published: February 2025

Les « Mémoires » du dernier souverain ziride de Grenade ʿAbd Allāh b. Zīrī, le Tibyān ʿan al-ḥādiṯa al-kāʾina bi-dawlat Banī Zīrī fī Ġarnāṭa, constituent l’une des plus exceptionnelles sources de l’histoire d’al-Andalus. Rédigé à l’extrême fin du xie siècle, ce document hors du commun est tout à la fois une histoire de sa famille depuis son arrivée en al-Andalus, l’explication de l’échec de son propre règne, et le moyen d’une rédemption par l’écriture. Loin des poncifs/clichés de l’hagiographie, ce récit d’une rare lucidité présente la grande originalité d’être écrit à la première personne, en un Moyen Âge qui ne cultive guère l’autobiographie. Ce texte montre la situation difficile dans laquelle se trouve ʿAbd Allāh b. Zīrī, menacé et par ses voisins musulmans et par le souverain castillan Alphonse VI. Déposé en 1090/1091, notre auteur rédigera en exil ses « Mémoires », loin des fastes de Grenade. Le sort de ʿAbd Allāh, qui n’était ni brave, ni arabe, ni pote, n’émut personne ; contrairement à celui d’al-Muʿtamid de Séville, son alter ego et compagnon d’exil, resté dans la mémoire collective le prince andalou par excellence. L’œuvre qu’il laisse toutefois est par sa perspicacité, son originalité, et sa justesse, l’un des plus beaux récits de vie de l’histoire andalouse.
La riḥla au prisme de la tradition biographique andalouse : un vecteur d’identité collective ? L’exemple de la biographie de Muḥammad b. Qāsim b. Sayyār al-Bayyānī (m. 327/939)
Authors: Montel Aurélien
Published: February 2025

La riḥla fī ṭalab al-ʿilm (voyage en quête de savoir) est un élément clé de l’identité collective construite et partagée par les ʿulamāʾ (les oulémas), bien documentée grâce à la richesse de la littérature biographique (ṭabaqāt). Sa mise par écrit est cependant guidée par un certain nombre de normes, éventuellement de stratégies, qui en encadrent soigneusement la fixation historique et mémorielle. L’étude du cas, original à plusieurs égards, du Cordouan Muḥammad b. Qāsim b. Sayyār al-Bayyānī (m. 327/939) permet de mettre à nu plusieurs de ces enjeux qui assurent la conformité de l’écriture biographique aux traits les plus saillants de l’identité communautaire, et en particulier à ses caractéristiques sociales, géographiques, politiques ou intellectuelles.
Aux sources de la présence de la poésie dans Sīrat al-Malik al-Ẓāhir Baybarṣ. La bibliothèque des auteurs et des ḥakawātī-s
Authors: Pennisi Rosa , Bakhouch Mohamed
Published: February 2025

Cet article présente les résultats préliminaires des travaux de recherche du programme LiPoL, sur la présence de l’héritage poétique arabe en fuṣḥā dans la Sīra du roi al-Ẓāhir Baybarṣ. Dans ce cadre, nous avons réalisé un inventaire exhaustif des poésies dans les dix premiers volumes et identifié les genres poétiques, les thèmes et les situations types. Notre étude nous a également amenés à examiner les formules introductives utilisées dans la présentation des poèmes inclus dans la Sīra. Ces derniers sont de deux types : des poèmes empruntés au patrimoine poétique arabe de différentes époques, de l’Antéislam au xxe siècle, et dont les auteurs sont rarement mentionnés, et d’autres composés par les auteurs-narrateurs et qui ne sont pas non plus dénués d’emprunts. Ce phénomène, qui donne à la Sīra une dimension intertextuelle et dialogique, nous a conduits à identifier les poètes dont les poèmes sont cités dans le corpus. Ensuite, nous avons adopté le quatrième volume du roman (édition de Bohas & Zakharia 2003) comme modèle, pour montrer l’importance de la présence de l’héritage poétique arabe dans ce texte, et pour démontrer que, contrairement à la croyance dominante dans les sphères élitistes, la Sīra de Baybarṣ, comme d’autres sīra-s populaires, apporte une contribution efficace à la diffusion et à la perpétuation du patrimoine poétique arabe.
