Modelling the cryogenic environment aided by CFD & FEM to provide optimized solutions for unconventional manufacturing of aerospace alloys. (c2020)
Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Salame Charlie
Published: July 2022

The modern manufacturing industry needs to meet the growing demands of aerospace production, while adhering to increasingly strict environmental and sustainability constraints. Cryogenic machining is steadily gaining traction as an eco-friendly unconventional machining method, effectively improving the machinability of the workpiece by cooling and lubricating the cutting process. The increased demand in the aerospace industry requires using higher cutting speeds and feeds, which adversely affect the machinability of the already difficult-tomachine aerospace alloys. This makes the optimization of the cryogenic manufacturing process critical to ensuring a good machinability and a high-quality product. This research investigates the optimization of cryogenic manufacturing of aerospace materials such as titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V and low carbon steel A36. The optimization varies the cryogenic nozzle position in terms of separation distance from the tool-chip interface and the inclination angle from the vertical to determine the combination that leads to the minimum cutting forces. The study begins with a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model, aided by the results of Finite Element Modeling (FEM), to simulate the cryogenic environment for each of the nozzle positions and determine the optimal cooling effect. Cryogenic turning tests are then conducted by varying the same nozzle positions to measure the cutting forces in each case and compare them to dry turning. For the case of optimal cryogenic turning, tool wear and surface integrity are compared to dry turning using optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). It is shown that the nozzle position with the smallest separation distance and smallest orientation angle from the vertical leads to the biggest reduction in cutting temperatures as well as cutting forces, and a correlation is drawn between the cryogenic cooling effect and cutting forces. The dominant parameter affecting machining process the most is the separation distance. The results from the CFD and FEM simulations are used to provide a better understanding of the cryogenic effect on the machining process in terms of cutting temperatures, convection coefficients, phase composition and pressure near the tool-chip interface. In addition, a reduction in workpiece surface roughness and tool wear are observed for the case of optimal cryogenic machining, with adhesion being the dominant wear mechanism observed in both conventional and cryogenic turning. This research proves the importance of optimizing the nozzle position in the cryogenic manufacturing system, which has a positive effect on the machinability of difficult-to-machine materials. Using the optimized cryogenic system presents a practical solution to improve the productivity in the aerospace industry and meet the increasing demand in an eco-friendly and sustainable way.

Published: July 2022

En la actualidad, uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos más demandados en todo el mundo es la cirugía plástica. Se trata de una especialidad quirúrgica que se ocupa de la corrección de todo proceso congénito, adquirido, tumoral o simplemente involutivo, que requiera reparación o reposición, o que afecte a la forma y/o función corporal. La cirugía plástica más allá de buscar la perfección del cuerpo impacta profundamente la vida de las personas cuando la necesidad de su práctica trasciende lo superficial. En virtud de lo cual, el propósito de la presente investigación es esbozar los aspectos básicos de la cirugía plástica y la necesidad de esta intervención para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas. La investigación se realizó bajo una metodología de tipo documental bibliográfica, bajo la modalidad de revisión. Uno de los aspectos éticos fundamentales que debe evaluar el cirujano plástico en la consulta es la necesidad real de la cirugía. Entre los principales requerimientos para llevar a cabo una cirugía plástica se encuentran los problemas que afectan la psique (baja autoestima, ansiedad, depresión, entre otras), secuelas derivadas de algún trauma, malformaciones congénitas, enfermedades como el cáncer o defectos en algunos tejidos. Estas reparaciones suponen una mejor calidad de vida para los pacientes en cuanto a lo funcional y lo estético. Por último, vale la pena destacar la importancia y la responsabilidad ética de los profesionales de la cirugía plástica que deben ver al paciente y la decisión de la intervención no desde el punto de vista mercantilista sino desde el punto de vista humano, capaz de identificar el sufrimiento de una persona que tiene un problema al que se le puede dar solución y ayudar a mejorar su salud y su calidad de vida.

Published: July 2022

La Insuficiencia Renal Aguda (IRA) es una patología que ha cobrado mayor importancia en la actualidad por sus crecientes tasas de morbimortalidad en todo el mundo. La IRA es un síndrome que se presenta por múltiples causas que provocan una injuria y se caracteriza por la disminución abrupta de la filtración glomerular, la cual resulta por la incapacidad del riñón para excretar los productos nitrogenados y para mantener la homeostasis de líquidos y electrolitos. Las técnicas de diagnóstico por imagen vienen experimentando en los últimos años un desarrollo lento pero sostenido que hace que se haya mejorado significativamente su capacidad para detectar patología a la vez que se intenta disminuir sus efectos adversos. El objetivo general de la presente revisión es compendiar los aspectos básicos del uso de la ecografía en la Insuficiencia Renal Aguda, con énfasis en su utilidad. La investigación se realizó bajo una metodología de tipo documental bibliográfica, bajo la modalidad de revisión. De los estudios revisados se desprende que la ecografía ha demostrado ser una herramienta útil en la evaluación inicial de la Insuficiencia Renal Aguda (IRA), con una gran cantidad de bondades entre las que destacan la carencia de toxicidad, la visualización de las estructuras anatómicas en tiempo real, un bajo costo, además de la disponibilidad de poder llevar los equipos hasta el lugar donde se encuentre el paciente, dada sus condiciones. Asimismo, es de fácil manejo con respecto a otros equipos para estudios de imagen y ofrece una gran cantidad de información capaz de orientar el diagnóstico, guiar terapéuticas y seguir la evolución de la patología. En virtud de todas estas ventajas, es la prueba más usada y útil para la detección y orientación rápida y eficaz de esta patología renal.

The Law Applicable to a Payment Made by a Third Party in Performance of a Contractual Payment Obligation Contested in Insolvency Proceedings as an Act Detrimental to All Creditors
Authors: Wowerka Arkadiusz
Published: July 2022

In the commentary, the author discusses the judgment of the Court of Justice of 22 April 2020 in Case C-73/20, ZM, as receiver in the bankruptcy of Oeltrans Befrachtungsgesellschaft mbH, v. E. A. Frerichs. This judgment concerns a payment made by a third party in performance of a contractual obligation and challenged in bankruptcy proceedings as an act done to the detriment of the bankruptcy creditors. The Court rightly held that art. 13 of Regulation No 1346/2000 must be interpreted as meaning that the law applicable to the contract also applies to a payment made by a third party in performance of a contractual obligation to pay incumbent on one of the parties to the contract, where, in the context of insolvency proceedings, that payment is challenged as an act done to the detriment of all creditors. The author approves of the Court’s decision both as to the thesis and reasoning.

Authors: Retamal Maldonado Alejandro , Pérez Guarda César
Published: July 2022

En el marco de los reajustes neoliberales impulsados por la dictadura militar, el territorio litoral del seno de Reloncaví (región de Los Lagos, Chile) ha experimentado transformaciones abruptas debido a la expansión y acumulación del capital industrial marítimo, sobre todo de la mano de la acuicultura. La llegada de esta industria se produce en la década los 80, posicionando imaginarios de crecimiento económico sostenido que alteran la estructura productiva tradicional asentada en prácticas consuetudinarias del territorio, y provocando degradación del paisaje y contaminación del ambiente marino del Reloncaví. En ese contexto, este artículo intenta explorar las distintas formas de vivir y habitar este territorio a objeto de identificar algunas prácticas que permitan posicionar imaginarios relativos a la sustentabilidad ambiental del territorio. En términos metodológicos, este estudio se realiza bajo un enfoque cualitativo con método documental. Esta estrategia permite hacer un recorrido histórico de las principales dinámicas y transformaciones del espacio de estudio; específicamente, se entregan antecedentes de la configuración geológica y ambiental del seno de Reloncaví, una breve descripción de los distintos poblamientos humanos que se han asentado transitoria y definitivamente en su borde costero (pueblos canoeros, mapuche, españoles, chilotes, alemanes, entre otros), la importancia estratégica que alcanza la zona norte del Reloncaví para las regiones del sur austral del país y, por último, las consecuencias que ha generado la llegada y expansión de la acuicultura industrial, que cambia para siempre las relaciones entre cultura/naturaleza. Se finaliza este artículo con la identificación de los imaginarios del territorio predominantes en cada momento histórico: ambientales, coloniales, de integración nacional y extractivistas, a modo de relevar elementos identitarios territoriales necesarios para la cogestión y sustentabilidad de los bienes públicos y recursos comunes de la zona costera.

Authors: Sarfaraz Sana , Ikram Rahela , Munawwar Rabia , Gul Sabiha
Published: July 2022

Background: Beetroots are considered a vital source of nutrition and are usually incorporated into the daily diet to prevent different disease conditions. The therapeutic effect observed is due to the presence of active ingredients in the vegetables. The majority of our population, especially females, suffers from anemia due to malnutrition. The perseverance of this research was to explore the hematopoietic effects of lyophilized beetroot powder at different doses so they could be recommended as a nutritional supplement.

Methodology: Albino rabbits weighing 1500-2000 gm of either gender were selected for the study and alienated into three sets. Set I was administered distilled water, whereas sets II and III were given lyophilized beetroot 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg, correspondingly. For hematopoietic evaluation of blood, automated huma count plus was utilized. After adjusting according to their weights, lyophilized beetroot powder was suspended in distilled water and given at 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg to rabbits. They were dosed once daily for two months.

Results: The effects were verified before the dosing was scheduled and on the 30th day and 60th day of dosing. The outcomes presented a highly noteworthy increase (p<0.0001) in hemoglobin, erythrocyte count, hematocrit, leukocyte count, and thrombocytes by both doses. 500 mg/kg dose showed a more significant increase in leukocytes and thrombocyte count compared to 1000 mg/kg, whereas 1000 mg/kg showed a more substantial increase in erythrocytes and Hb as compared to 500 mg/kg at the conclusion of the study period.

Conclusion: From the above, it can be concluded that beetroot possesses pronounced hematopoietic effects and might be beneficial as a non-pharmacological treatment for anemia and thrombocytopenia.

Published: July 2022

Background: The increasing rate of water-borne diseases in Karachi demands the characterization of associated pathogens. Nowadays, water-borne infections become more resistant to treatment due to biofilm formation and excessive use of antibiotics. Biofilm formation in water deteriorates the quality of water. This study identified and characterized biofilm-producing E. coli in drinking water. Methodology: Water samples were analyzed for heterotrophic plate count and total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and E. coli. The Kirby disk bar diffusion method was used to investigate antibiotic susceptibility in biofilm-producing E. coli. The Congo red and tube ring methods were used to identify biofilm producers. The effect of biofilm formation on the hydrophobicity of E. coli was performed by the BATH method. The soft agar method determines the colony spreading ability of biofilm and non-biofilm producers. Molecular characterization of virulence genes of E. coli was performed by a PCR. Scanning electron microscopy for biofilm construction was conducted.   Results: The total 120 water samples were tested for heterotrophic plate count and total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and E. coli. 78% were unfit in this study, and 21.66% were fit. 38 E. coli strains were found in water samples. According to findings, the hydrophobicity of biofilm-producing isolates increased with the incubation period. Colony-forming unit drops one logarithm in the biofilm state compared to the planktonic stage. Biofilm producers were more resistant to antibiotics. The virulence genes, pet, lt, and stx2, were used for the molecular characterization. Conclusion: The presence of biofilm-producing E. coli in drinking water is alarming, and it indicates inappropriate treatment of the water supply system. To prevent rapid water-borne diseases, adequate actions are required to control drinking-water biofilm producers.

Case presentations: In this study, we presented seven cases—three cases in plain CT pyelogram and four cases of post-contrast scans. Post-contrast scans of chest findings in case 1 showed few pre-vascular, pre-tracheal, and sub-carinal lymph nodes with calcified granuloma in the left lower zone accompanied by extensive bilateral peripheral Ground Glass Haze with alveolar opacification. In Case 2, multiple non-homogeneous areas of ground-glass haze diffusely involving both lung fields were seen. Case 3 showed a few sub-centimeters mediastinal lymph nodes with diffuse mosaic attenuation patterns in both lung fields along with multiple soft tissues density nodules in both lungs. While in Case 4, Patchy areas of alveolar opacification with surrounding ground-glass haze were noted in lower lobes. Management and Results: Total 64 CT C/A/P (chest/abdomen/pelvis) with contrast scans and 120 plain pyelograms were done within ten days after lockdown relief, and it was observed that during the stricken lockdown, no incidental case of positive CT finding was observed. However, afterward, within this time, 44 cases (23.9%) were recorded in asymptomatic patients of COVID-19. Conclusions: CT chest is highly sensitive in detecting COVID-19 with high accuracy of featuring progress in the disease and associated findings even in the initial stages.

Krankheit, Kultur und Komfort. Dekadenz als Lebensstil in Eduard von Keyserlings Erzählungen
Authors: Orozović Anja
Published: July 2022

Eduard von Keyserling wird schon von seinen Zeitgenossen, aber auch während der späteren Rezeption als Autor aufgefasst, dessen Werke thematisch um den kulturellen Verfall seines eigenen Milieus, des deutsch-baltischen Adels, kreisen. Der schwerkranke und blinde Keyserling erscheint dabei selbst als letzte Sprosse seiner Familienlinie. Der deutsch-baltische Adel erweist sich als eine Gesellschaft, die wegen der jahrhundertealten, fast unveränderten Lebensweise beim Aufbruch der Moderne ihrem Untergang entgegenläuft. Die Verfallsstimmung lässt sich dabei durch verschiedene Anzeichen bemerken. Das familiäre und gesellschaftliche Leben dieser Menschen wird von einer Ordnung geprägt, deren Beschützer und Befürworter die alten Schlossherrschaften sind. Diese psychisch immer noch starken Menschen verlieren jedoch an Lebenskraft und blicken oft als Schwerkranke dem bevorstehenden Tod entgegen. Die Pflege der Tradition soll daher an die jüngere Generation vermittelt werden, die jedoch dieser Aufgabe nicht gewachsen ist. Die Jugend hat ebenfalls mit verschiedenen psychischen oder physischen Krankheiten zu kämpfen. Überempfindlichkeit, Reizhunger oder Neurose treiben diese jungen Menschen aus der zwar geborgenen, aber betrübenden familiären Umgebung oder schließen sie noch fester innerhalb der Schlossmauern ein, sodass jegliche äußeren Einflüsse als Bedrohung erscheinen. Beide Fälle sind dabei durch die Verneinung der Wirklichkeit zum Scheitern verurteilt. Als misslungen erweisen sich ebenfalls die häufigen Bestrebungen, über die eigene Sensibilität und Kränklichkeit durch den Genuss des häuslichen Komforts hinwegzutäuschen. Keyserling schildert eine Gesellschaft, die den eigenen Verfall mit einem Schleier des ästhetisch Schönen zu bedecken versucht, dabei jedoch von der Realität immer wieder eingeholt wird.
Five Years Later: Predicting Student Use of Journals in a New Water Resources Graduate Program.
Authors: Wirth Andrea A. , Mellinger Margaret
Published: July 2022

Using citation analysis, the authors examined the journals cited in theses and dissertations over the first five years of the Water Resources Graduate Program at Oregon State University. These journal titles were compared to the titles predicted as being important in the 2003 Oregon State University Libraries new program (Category I) review. A preliminary core list of journals for this highly interdisciplinary program had been created for the Category I review from faculty publications, Journal Citation Reports, and Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests. Through comparison of the citations in the students' works with the data compiled for the Category I, and a review of current ILL requests, the authors address whether the initial review predicted student use, which sources were most valuable for predicting use, and how analysis of student citations can add to the strength of the original core journal list.

Engaging Research Groups: Rethinking Information Literacy for Graduate Students.
Authors: Fong Bonnie L. , Hansen Darren B.
Published: July 2022

Librarians have traditionally taught information literacy skills to science graduate students in separate courses dedicated to information-seeking, during assignment(s)-based library sessions for other courses, or through workshops. There is little mention in the professional literature of teaching graduate students within their research groups. This is certainly an alternative to consider -- especially for smaller science graduate programs where the more traditional means of reaching graduate students are less likely. This article discusses a collaborative effort between a Chemistry professor and Physical Sciences Librarian at Rutgers University-Newark to design a mini-course for a research group. With the amount of customization possible when working with research groups, this option may even become increasingly significant due to the growing importance of interdisciplinary research.

Laboratory Logistics: Strategies for Integrating Information Literacy Instruction into Science Laboratory Classes.
Authors: Gregory Kathleen
Published: July 2022

Active learning is a hallmark of the traditional science laboratory class, making it a natural place for librarians to integrate active information literacy instruction. The course structure of science lab classes, particularly large entry-level undergraduate classes, can make the logistics of such integration a challenge. This paper presents two case studies, each highlighting a different method of providing information literacy instruction to large undergraduate science classes for non-majors. In the first, teaching assistants helped to provide instruction within scheduled lab periods; in the second, a set number of workshops occurred outside of the regular meeting times of the lab classes. To measure the success of these strategies, instructors, teaching assistants, and students provided formal and informal feedback. Evaluation of these results points to a third possible strategy for integrating library instruction into science lab classes. Moving librarian-led instruction online and reserving class time for activities mediated by teaching assistants may solve many of the logistical challenges to teaching information literacy in science labs.

Developing Professional Skills in STEM Students: Data Information Literacy.
Authors: Zilinski Lisa D. , Nelson Megan Sapp , Van Epps Amy S.
Published: July 2022

Undergraduate STEM students are increasingly expected to have some data use skills upon graduation, whether they pursue post-graduate education or move into industry. This project was an initial foray into the application of data information literacy competencies to training undergraduate students to identify markers of data and information quality. The data consumer training appeared within two courses to help students evaluate data objects, including databases and datasets available on the Internet. The application of the Data Credibility Checklist provides a foundation for developing data reuse competencies. Based upon the initial presentation of the content, it became obvious that students need very basic introductions to data concepts, including definitions for database and dataset, and the process of data object discovery.

Library Instruction in Communication Disorders: Which Databases Should Be Prioritized?
Authors: Grabowsky Adelia
Published: July 2022

The field of communication disorders encompasses the health science disciplines of both speech-language pathology and audiology. Pertinent literature for communication disorders can be found in a number of databases. Librarians providing information literacy instruction may not have the time to cover more than a few resources. This study develops a list of commonly recommended databases and a list of core journals in communication disorders and then looks at indexing of the journals to discover which databases should be prioritized in library sessions.

Impact of a Library Instruction Session on Bibliographies of Organic Chemistry Students.
Authors: Kromer John
Published: July 2022

Students in Chemistry 254: Organic Chemistry for Majors were required to write a paper about an organic name reaction. Before turning in this assignment, students had the option of attending a one-hour library instruction session covering SciFinder, sources for spectra, ACS Style, and print resources about organic name reactions. Twenty-five students attended library sessions while 28 did not. Bibliographies were collected and graded for all students. Comparisons were made between those students who attended the session and those who did not, on such criteria as use of scholarly sources, properly citing articles and spectra, and correct use of ACS Style. Students who attended an instruction session received 14% higher bibliography scores than those who did not. Other significant differences were found in students using scholarly sources, using and citing appropriate spectra, and citing the article in which the name reaction was originally published.

Broad Collaboration to Improve Biological Sciences Students' Writing and Research Skills.
Authors: Brancato Lisa , Chan Tina , Contento Anthony
Published: July 2022

At the State University of New York at Oswego (SUNY Oswego), a faculty member and advisement coordinator, both of the biological sciences department, and the biological sciences librarian have worked together since 2013 to present a workshop called Writing for the Biological Sciences. Offered once per semester, the workshop is sponsored by the Writing Center at SUNY Oswego. The workshop teaches the fundamentals of writing laboratory reports. Primarily geared towards first year biological sciences students, the workshop is open to all students, faculty, and staff. In addition to offering the workshops, one-on-one writing labs were offered starting in spring 2015. The writing labs allow students to meet individually with a biological sciences faculty member to review a draft of the lab report and to gain constructive feedback, as well as for the biological sciences librarian to help students with their research. The writing labs provide personal attention for biological sciences students, faculty, and the librarian to work together to help improve studentsâ€™ writing and research skills. Advice on offering a writing workshop and writing lab is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
An Analysis of Selected Data Practices: A Case Study of the Purdue College of Agriculture.
Authors: Pouchard Line , Bracke Marianne Stowell
Published: July 2022

This paper describes a survey of data practices given to the Purdue College of Agriculture. Data practices are a concern for many researchers with new governmental funding mandates that require data management plans, and for the institution providing resources to comply with these mandates. The survey attempted to answer these questions: What are the characteristics of the data held by respondents? What tools do the respondents use in managing, analyzing, or manipulating their data? Where do students primarily learn research data management skills? The survey documents that there is a statistically significant difference in data holding sizes between faculty and graduate students, and that MS-Excel is still the analysis tool of choice. Results also showed that many researchers in the College were not thinking of the Libraries as a resource for data management practices, preservation, or data literacy instruction for graduate students. The survey results may inform the Libraries in developing new data services and instruction, while also highlighting the need for additional research into data practices for specific disciplinary areas or types of researchers.

Historical Development and Key Issues of Data Management Plan Requirements for National Science Foundation Grants: A Review.
Authors: Pasek Judith E.
Published: July 2022

Sharing scientific research data has become increasingly important for knowledge advancement in today's networked, digital world. This article describes the evolution of access to United States government information in relation to scientific research funded by federal grants. It analyzes the data sharing policy of the National Science Foundation, which requires inclusion of a Data Management Plan in research proposals seeking agency funding. This policy is compared to a similar policy of the National Institutes of Health. Eight key issues limiting the success of the National Science Foundation policy are identified. These issues derive from instances of ambiguity, contradiction, inconsistency, lack of clarity, and gaps in guidance. Academic librarians can help fill the gaps in data sharing policy guidance by assisting researchers in the development of Data Management Plans and facilitating implementation of data curation practices.
