Teaching regional students from low socioeconomic backgrounds: Key success factors in Australian higher education
Authors:   Victoria University, Devlin Marcia , McKay Jade ,   Deakin University
Published: December 2022

This paper reports on the findings from an Australian study exploring how best to facilitate the success of students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds who are studying at regional universities. Interviews with 69 successful regional students from low SES backgrounds, and 26 staff identified as experts in supporting these students, were carried out across six regional universities. The findings show that effective teaching was viewed by all respondents as critical to student success. This paper presents four key success factors from this research, offering insight into what constitutes effective teaching of regional students from both student and staff perspectives, and in line with relevant literature. These success factors include: understanding and responding to the particular circumstances and needs of students; facilitating students being and feeling connected to university; student preparedness for the realities of university study; and, an inclusive, engaged approach to pedagogy.
Contextualising Policy Enactment in Regional, Rural and Remote Australian Schools: A Review of the Literature
Authors:   James Cook University, Herbert Alice
Published: December 2022

Education policies are enacted differently according to school contexts and geographies. This is particularly the case in large countries such as Australia where context and geographies for schooling differ greatly. Within regional, rural and remote Australia, schools are witnessing a trend in geographic disadvantage in that as distance from urban centres increase, nationally benchmarked scores tend to decrease. Overcoming this geographic disadvantage has become a national goal for policy makers; however, policies fail to fully consider regional, rural and remote context. This study aims to review literature regarding the contextual factors that affect policy enactment in regional, rural and remote Australian schools. 54 journal articles, national reviews, books and policy documents were identified, read and reviewed. The literature confirms that context is an important consideration in policy enactment. Findings reveal that educational policy enactment is impacted by four major contextual factors: (1) situational context, (2) professional context, (3) material context and (4) external context. These factors have been used as a thematic organiser in this review to understand policy enactment in RRR schools specifically. This literature review concludes that context needs to be at the forefront of policy enactment in RRR areas. Policies need to be enacted within place, using community participation to be effective. This research is a fruitful endeavour as there is a need to contextualise not only policies, but also pedagogy and practice.
'It Would Give You a Space to be Yourself' Increasing a Sense of Belonging for Aboriginal Students in Boarding Schools
Authors:   Curtin University, Whettingsteel Emma , Oliver Rhonda ,   Curtin University, Tiwari Reena ,   Curtin University
Published: December 2022

Sense of belonging is a fundamental human need that is also shown to affect long term education and health outcomes. Theories used within interior architecture, especially place theory and environmental psychology, can be used to inform the development of built spaces, in this case for boarding school students in order to increase their sense of belonging contributing to potential positive outcomes. Within the emerging literature pertaining to experiences of boarding school for Aboriginal students in Australia, issues of loneliness, isolation, homesickness, and the feeling of being 'between two worlds' are commonly reported. However, there is currently a dearth of literature that connects these issues with a potential role for design and place. Therefore, the aim of this research is to address this gap through Participant Action Research (PAR) in which data was collected through semi structured 'yarning' and drawing with a total of 52 participants. 27 current boarders (all Aboriginal people, 2 male, 25 female), 18 recent alumni (All Aboriginal people, 3 male, 15 female), and 7 boarding staff members (1 Aboriginal person, all female) participated. Four key findings emerged that suggest the impact of interior design on student sense of belonging. These relate to the institutional characterisation of current boarding schools by participants (Place Identity), a need for increased flexibility to avoid an 'all or nothing' approach to social interaction (Interior Relationships), the need to allow student participation in ongoing design changes (Spatial Voice), and the provision of social and cultural relief through space (Third Space). These are described in this paper using the voices of the participants (which is particularly important given the researchers are not Aboriginal people). It is proposed that, although these findings report only a particular collection of voices, the potential application of these ideas may be broad and of benefit to many students.
Walking the tightrope or constructing a bridge? A study into effective partnership practices between an interstate boarding school community and a very remote Aboriginal Community
Authors:   Charles Darwin University, Lloyd Andrew Raymond Gerard
Published: December 2022

Access to secondary education for very remote Northern Territory Indigenous students is limited. Although many students attend distant boarding schools, very few stay to complete Year 12 (the final year of secondary school in Australia). Few families and communities are fully engaged in the whole transition process. This paper describes a case study of one very remote Indigenous community and its partnership with an interstate boarding College. The partnership is attributed with students from community staying to complete Year 12 and then seeking local employment pathways afterward. The study on which this paper is based, investigated how the elements within this partnership function. Using a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological design, two adults from the remote Indigenous Community and six staff from a partner boarding College were interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, thematically coded and participants were deidentified. Limitations included small sample size not completely representative of the students, families, Elders and staff from either the community or the college.

Published: December 2022

Education provides opportunities for adolescents to make developmental gains. Remote Indigenous adolescents not engaged in education programs need alternate learning opportunities to reach developmental goals. This review identifies attributes that contribute to an alternate model of education within the existing literature and reports on the quantity and nature of evidence. Thirty-seven databases and grey literature were canvassed using strict search criteria. Analysis of papers was conducted to find the enablers of alternate models by identifying the conditions, strategies and outcomes the intervention produced. Papers were categorised according to their nature by Canada's Hierarchy of Evidence and the Sanson-Fisher model. There was limited literature on alternate models of education for Indigenous adolescents in settings outside a school environment. Three papers were classified as descriptive and ten as intervention research. All papers were described as 'emerging' and 'promising' practices. The five attributes embedded within a model included 1) cultural connectedness and awareness; 2) being contextually designed; 3) fosters relationships with peers and adults; 4) specific teaching and learning strategies and; 5) holistic outcomes. The findings will contribute to the co-design of an alternate model of education for remote Indigenous communities. Gaps identified in the literature included examples of 'best practice' models and highlighted the need for further research of innovative models that move from descriptive research to form an evidence base.

Published: December 2022

Preparing teachers for rural and remote (RR) schools in Australia appears to be an ongoing issue with many schools continuing to experience staff shortages. This research aimed to understand preservice teachers' (n=23) perceptions of their readiness for teaching in RR schools within four theoretical constructs, namely: self, classroom, school, and community. Following a RR professional experience, preservice teachers completed a literature-based Likert scale survey with written response questions to investigate their readiness for teaching in RR communities within the four constructs. Results showed that more than 80% of participants indicated self-readiness for teaching; yet, work recognition (70%), discussing career goals (65%), and having wellbeing supported (61%) had lower percentages. Classroom readiness was indicated by 83% or more of the preservice teachers for seven of the eight items; however, less than half claimed they had trust in the leadership for school readiness. Community readiness had percentages lower than 80% across the eight associated items. The results suggested preservice teachers can be supported during professional experience to promote teaching in RR contexts as a way to overcome teacher shortages.

Göç ve Girişimcilik: Mali Olmayan Müdahalelerin Suriyeli Girişimciler Üzerindeki Etkisi
Authors: KAZANOĞLU Nazlı
Published: December 2022

2011 yılında başlayan Suriye İç Savaşı milyonlarca kişinin göç etmesine neden olmuştur. En çok Suriyeliyi ağırlayan ülkelerden biri olan Türkiye şu anda 3,6 milyon Suriyeliye ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Türkiye önceleri bu bireyleri ‘misafir’ statüsünde kabul edip onlara ilk insani müdahaleleri yapmıştır. Fakat zaman içerisinde özellikle savaşın derinleşmesi ve bu bireylerin Türkiye’de görece daha kalıcılaşmaları ile birlikte Suriyeli mültecilerin ekonomik entegrasyonunu amaçlayan uzun vadeli ve daha sürdürülebilir müdahalelerin arayışına girilmiştir. Bu bağlamda, özellikle son beş yıldır Türk hükümeti ulusal ve uluslararası insani yardım kuruluşları, kalkınma ajansları, sivil toplum kuruluşları, ticaret odaları, toplum temelli örgütler ve belediyeler gibi çeşitli kurumların desteği ile Suriyeli bireylerin kendi işletmelerini açabilmeleri ve bu işletmeleri başarılı bir şekilde yönetebilmeleri adına bir dizi mali ve mali olmayan girişimcilik odaklı destekler vermektedir. Fakat zaman zaman bu müdahalelerin beklenen sonuçları getirmedikleri, Suriyeli bireylerin kapasitelerini geliştirmekte yetersiz kaldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan müdahalelerin istenilen sonuçlarına ulaşması ve özelde Suriyeli girişimcilere genelde ise topluma faydalı olabilmeleri adına bu makale Türkiye’de bulunan Suriye menşeli küçük ve orta büyüklükteki işletmelere (KOBİ) yönelik tasarlanan ve uygulanan mali olmayan müdahalelerin işlevselliğini ve Suriyeli KOBİ’ler üzerinde yarattığı değişimleri incelemeyi ve alternatif müdahale modelleri oluşturmayı hedeflemiştir. Bir başka deyişle bu makalede Türkiye’de bulunan Suriyeli KOBİ’lerin kendilerine yönelik tasarlanan eğitim, mentorluk ve ağ oluşturma gibi aktivitelerin ne kadar faydalı olduğu araştırılmış, olası eksiklikler tespit edilmiş ve yeni müdahale yöntemleri geliştirilmiştir. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden gözlem ve derinlemesine mülakat tekniklerinin beraber kullanıldığı bu çalışma Suriyeli KOBİ’lere yönelik tasarlanan mali olmayan müdahalelerin uygulanma safhasında uygulayıcı kurumlar arasında koordinasyonsuzluk, müdahalelerin belli bir coğrafyada yoğunlaşması ve KOBİ’lerin ekonomik durumlarının eğitimlerde öğrendiklerini günlük iş hayatlarında uygulamalarına yetmiyor oluşu gibi bir dizi sorun tespit etmiştir. Bu bağlamda müdahalelerin beklenen sonuçlara ulaşması ve Suriyeli KOBİ’lerin kapasitelerinin geliştirilip potansiyellerine ulaştırabilmeleri adına Suriyeli girişimcilerin dil problemlerine odaklanılması, yapılan projelerin sonucunda etki analizi yapılması ve aracı ve uygulayıcı kurumlar arasındaki iletişimi artırmak için bir ağ kurulması önerilmektedir.

Published: December 2022

Background/purpose: Mobile phones, sometimes known as cell phones since they operate on a cellular network design, have grown significantly in size and technology over the years. Researchers at Bell Labs in the US started experimenting with the idea of a cellular phone network in the 1970s. The plan was to create a network of hexagonal cells that would each have a base station and cover the entire nation. These base stations would use radio frequencies to transmit and receive messages from mobile phones. The purpose of a telephone is to transmit and receive human voice. The most common type of communication in use today is the telephone. It is a device that is affordable, simple to use, and allows users a one-on-one level of contact that is not possible through any other medium. Today, there are billions of telephones in use around the globe.

La metahemoglobinemia es una condición caracterizada por la presencia de altas concentraciones de metahemoglobina en sangre, la cual es incapaz de liberar oxígeno a los tejidos. Es una entidad poco frecuente, con baja sospecha diagnóstica, y puede ser adquirida o hereditaria. Dentro de las formas hereditarias, se encuentran la hemoglobina M y lametahemoglobinemia recesiva congénita. Ésta última causada por el déficit de la enzima NADH citocromo b5 reductasa (B5R), como consecuencia de alteraciones bialélicas en el gen CYB5R3.Reportamos las características clínicas, hematológicas y moleculares de una recién nacida con diagnóstico de deficiencia de B5R. La niña presentó cianosis en las primeras horas de vida, con niveles elevados de metahemoglobina. Luego de descartar las causas pulmonares, cardíacas, infecciosas y adquiridas se arribó al diagnóstico por la secuenciación del gen CYB5R3. Resaltamos la importancia de reconocer la causa de la metahemoglobinemia para dar un tratamiento y consejo genético adecuados.

Published: December 2022

El laboratorio de proteínas utiliza métodos muy diferentes con el objeto de brindar información diagnóstica, pronóstica y de seguimiento en pacientes con cierto tipo de afecciones. Estos métodos incluyen pruebas para evaluar un conjunto de analitos en simultáneo, como el proteinograma electroforético o la inmunoelectroforesis con antisueros poliespecíficos, pruebas para la cuantificación de proteínas individuales y pruebas para identificar un analito, como la inmunoelectroforesis con antisueros monoespecíficos o, con mayor eficiencia, la electroinmunofijación (IFx)(1). La técnica de IFx se basa en que las proteínas se separan en base a su movilidad electroforética y luego se aplica un antisuero específico para el antígeno en estudio. Donde se encuentra el antígeno y su anticuerpo homólogo, se forma una banda o zona de precipitación (de acuerdo al origen clonal del antígeno), visible luego de la tinción desarrollada.

Authors: Khan S. , Ali I. , Ghaffar F. , Mazhar-ul-Haq Q.
Published: December 2022

The classification of amino acids and their sequence analysis plays a vital role in life sciences and is a challenging task. Deep learning models have well-established frameworks for solving a broad spectrum of complex learning problems compared to traditional machine learning techniques. This article uses and compares state-of-the-art deep learning models like Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) to solve macromolecule classification problems using amino acid sequences. The CNN extracts features from amino acid sequences, which are treated as vectors with the use of word embedding. These vectors are fed to the above-mentioned models to train robust classifiers. The results show that word2vec as embedding combined with VGG-16 performs better than LSTM and GRU. The proposed approach gets an error rate of 1.5%.
Solar-Wind Hybrid Power Generation System Optimization Using Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES)
Authors: Nemdili S. , Ngaru I. C. , Kerfa M.
Published: December 2022

This paper proposes a renewable energy hybrid power system that is based on photovoltaic (PV) and wind power generation and is equipped with Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES). Wind and solar power generation are two of the most promising renewable power generation technologies. They are suitable for hybrid systems because they are environmentally friendly. However, like most renewable energy sources, they are characterized by high variability and discontinuity. They generate a fluctuating output voltage that damages the machines that operate on a stable supply. Therefore, the energy storage system SMES with the function to reduce output voltage fluctuation problems is introduced. SMES is found to be the most effective energy storage device as a result of its quick time response, high power density, and high energy conversion efficiency. In this paper, modeling of a hybrid system with SMES is built using MATLAB/Simulink. Blocks such as the wind model, PV model, and energy storage model are built separately before combining into a complete hybrid system with SMES. Varying wind speed and solar irradiance values are taken as the input parameters. The obtained results from the simulation reveal that a system with SMES is more reliable than a system without SMES.
Application of Neural Networks for the Estimation of the Shear Strength of Circular RC Columns
Authors: Ho V. C. , Nguyen T. H. , Nguyen T. Q. , Nguyen D. D.
Published: December 2022

This study aims to develop Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for predicting the shear strength of circular Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns. A set of 156 experimental data samples of various circular RC columns were utilized to establish the ANN model. The performance results of the ANN model show that it predicts the shear strength of circular RC columns accurately with a high coefficient of determination (0.99) and a small root-mean-square error (4.6kN). The result comparison reveals that the proposed ANN model can predict the shear strength of the columns more accurately than the existing equations. Moreover, an ANN-based formula is proposed to explicitly calculate the shear strength of the columns. Additionally, a practical Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool is developed for facilitating the practical design process of the circular RC columns.
A Novel Blind Image Source Separation Using Hybrid Firefly Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Khalfa A. , Sahed M. , Kenane E. , Amardjia N.
Published: December 2022

Signal and image separation are extensively used in numerous imaging applications and communication systems. In this paper, a novel Blind Source Separation (BSS) approach, based on the Hybrid Firefly Particle Swarm Optimization (HFPSO), is proposed for separating mixed images. This approach processes the observed source without any prior knowledge about the model and the statistics of the source signal. The proposed method presents high robustness against local minima and converges quickly to the global minimum. Via numerical simulations, the proposed approach is tested and validated in comparison with standard Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Robust Independent Component Analysis (RobustICA), and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithms. The obtained results show that the presented technique outperforms the existing ones in terms of quality of image separation, the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM). Moreover, the obtained results demonstrate that our approach provides also promising results in image separation from noisy mixtures.
The Impact of Industrial Air Pollution on the Urban Environment of Setif
Authors: Harkat N. , Rahmane A. , Bendjemila I.
Published: December 2022

Setif is one of the urban agglomerations most exposed to the problem of air pollution, which mostly arises from the industrial zone located on its immediate outskirts, as is the case with a large number of Algerian cities. Due to its size and the nature of its activities, Setif is a significant source of industrial pollution. Numerous experts agree that the majority of present air pollution analysis techniques are limited to predicting the dispersion of pollutants. However, restricting oneself to these usually rigid aspects impedes the proper management of this sort of urban nuisance harming the city and its surroundings. Consequently, the aim of this study is to propose an approach for assessing the danger of air pollution that can be simply applied to any terrain. This technique includes three primary stages. Initially, ARIA Impact software is used to develop a model of the Total Suspended Particles (TSP). Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process technique, the many human, material, and environmental issues are then plotted on a map. The last step is to build synthesis maps by crossing the theme maps developed in the first two steps. Consequently, the anticipated outcome of this study is that the industrial zone of Setif will serve as the basis for a methodological exercise generated from a real-world situation. The examination of the current case study will illustrate the reliability of dispersion models in the evaluation of industrial pollution provided that certain essential aspects are recognized and handled effectively.
Development of a Prediction System for 3D Printed Part Deformation
Authors: Park H. S. , Tran N. H. , Hoang V. T. , Bui V. H.
Published: December 2022

The Additive Manufacturing (AM) process is applied in industrial applications. However, quality issues of the printed parts, including part distortion and cracks caused by high temperature and fast cooling, result in high residual stress. The theoretical calculation equation shows elastic behavior which is the linear behavior between strain and stress. However, in practice with the additive manufacturing process, strain and stress have nonlinear behavior. So, the prediction of the deformation of a printed part is inaccurate. The contribution of this research is the creation of an Inherent Strain (IS)-based part deformation prediction method during the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process. To have the deformation in the design stage, we developed software for calculating the IS value and predicting the deformation. The difference between the calculated results and the experimental results is still there, so, we proposed an algorithm and developed an optimization module for the system to minimize this difference. In the final optimal printing process, the parameters are derived in order for the real printing process to have the required quality of the SLM printed part.

Published: December 2022

Renewable energy in terms of solar and wind energy can be an essential part of Lebanon's strategies to add new capacity, increase energy security, address environmental concerns, and resolve the electricity crisis. In this regard, there is an urgent need to develop road maps in order to reduce the effect of global warming and enhance sustainable technological development for generating clean power in the country. Therefore, the present paper evaluates Lebanon's wind energy generation potential as an alternative solution to supply electricity to households in various locations distributed over Lebanon. In the present study, the measured data are used to evaluate the wind energy potential in Lebanon and to find suitable locations to install wind farms in the country.

Published: December 2022

In this paper, a wide-range high-precision sensor has been designed in order to accurately measure the temperature in a medium with arbitrary temperature variation and the implementation of a wide-spectrum temperature measurement system with a self-selected multi-sensor has been realized. This multi-sensor core is made up of different sensors combined to measure different temperature ranges. This concept can be used for high-precision temperature measurement in electrical capacitance tomography applications. The proposed technique is well suited for temperatures in boilers, industries, and everywhere high temperature measurement sensitivity is needed by using different combined temperature sensors of high precision.

Utility companies always struggle with the High Impedance Fault (HIF) in the electrical distribution systems. In this article, the current signal is seen in situations involving 10,400 different samples, with and without HIF, like linear, non-linear load, and capacitance switching. A better method that processes signals very fast and with low sample rates, requiring less memory and computational labor, is demonstrated by Mathematical Morphology (MM). For HIF identification, Deep Convolution Neural Networks (DCNNs) are being developed. This paper presents a novel method for signal processing with low sample rates, high signal processing speed, and low computational and memory requirements. The suggested six-layer DCNN is compared with other models, such as the four-layer and eight-layer DCNN models and the results are discussed.

Electron-Impact Ionization (EII) is considered one of the most important ionization methods in dynamic systems, in which elements and ions are suddenly exposed to energetic electrons. In many plasma types, it has been observed that some electrons (hot) are governed by a non-Maxwellian energy distribution. This study illustrates the effects of a non-Maxwellian distribution on beryllium and Be+2 emission lines and their effective ionization rate coefficients. The focus on beryllium as an impacted material by electron flux aimed to evaluate the EII rates for Be and generate the corresponding datasets needed for Be+2 data analysis. An interaction cross-section was generated using the Flexible Atomic Code (FAC) and used in the estimation of the EII distribution energy functions to estimate the ionization rates for a non-Maxwellian distribution. The use of non-Maxwellian energy distributions for different fractions of hot electrons showed the sensitivity of these rates to the fraction of hot electrons and the forms of the electron energy distribution. The results were in good agreement with those found in the literature.
Some Mineralogical Characteristics of the Egyptian Black Sand Beach Ilmenite Part I: Homogeneous Ilmenite and Titanhematite-Ferriilmenite Grains
Authors: Moustafa M. I.
Published: December 2022

The high-grade Egyptian beach ilmenite concentrate contains various mineral textures in addition to the main homogeneous ilmenite grains (63%), which may contain solid solutions of geikielite (MgTiO3) and pyrophanite (MnTiO3) mineral components. Few homogeneous ferrilmenite grains (2%) associated with the concentrated ilmenite grains are detected. The contents of Fe2O3, MgO, Al2O3, and Cr2O3 in the ferrilmenite grains range between 7.3% and 22.8%, 3.4% and 6.6%, 0.2% and 0.7%, and 0% and 1.2% respectively. The detected hematite-ilmenite exsolved intergrowths (21.4%) have titanhematite exsolutions of different shapes, sizes, and orientations. They occupy 5%-40% of the whole intergrowth and may show one or two distinct generations. In some ferrilmenite components, MnO ranges between 1.5% and 8.6%. The Cr2O3 and Al2O3 contents range between 0% and 1.2% and 0% and 3.2% respectively. They are mostly between 0% and 0.1% for either of the ferrilmenite components, while relatively greater content is present in the titanhematite components. In some grains, the titanhematite exsolution bodies are replaced by goethite or hydrated iron oxides. In others, the ferrilmenite intergrowth may be partially or completely altered into leucoxene. Some minor composite grains are detected in the concentrate, where each grain consists of two parts, one part is titanhematite-ferrimenite and the other is ferrilmenite-titanhematite. The titanhematite exsolved components have relatively lower TiO2 content (5.8%-23.8%). Both MgO and MnO are positively correlated with FeO rather than Fe2O3. The presence of sphenes in the obtained ilmenite concentrate may be responsible for the recorded amounts of SiO2 (30.1%-30.8%) and CaO (28.1% and 28.8%). The Cr2O3 content is relatively much higher in sphene spots than in ilmenite spots, ensuring that Cr2O3 neither follows TiO2 nor FeO. The nature of the problem of the relatively lower Ti content and the relatively higher Fe and Cr contents of the obtained ilmenite concentrates is the target of the article. The problem is related to the mineralogy of ilmenite or to the used physical concentration flowsheet of the separated concentrate and the ability to improve the ilmenite concentrate’s specifications. It is concluded that although the homogeneous ilmenite is characterized by low Cr2O3 content, some of the other exsolved texture components, e.g. titanhematite and sphenes, have relatively higher Cr2O3, in addition to Fe2O3, SiO2, or CaO. They can negatively affect the marketable specifications of the separated Egyptian black sand ilmenite concentrate.
Performance Assessment of Traditional Software Development Methodologies and DevOps Automation Culture
Authors: Narang P. , Mittal P.
Published: December 2022

Successful implementations of Software Development Methodologies significantly improve software efficiency, collaboration and security. Most companies are moving away from traditional development methodologies towards DevOps for faster and better software delivery. DevOps, which is a primary need of the IT industry, brings development and operation teams together to overcome communication gaps responsible for software failures. It relies on different sets of automation tools to robotize the tasks of software development from continuous integration, to testing, delivery, and deployment. The existence of several automation tools in each development phase raises the need for an integrated set of tools to reduce development time. For this purpose, we used the DevOps-based hybrid model Integrated Tool Chain (ITC), along with three sample java-based projects or code repositories to quantify the results. This paper evaluates and compares measurement metrics of java projects using traditional development methodologies and DevOps, and the results are shown in tabular and graphical format. The latest Google and Stack Overflow Trends have also been included to retrieve the best performer development methodology. This comparative and evaluative performance analysis will be beneficial to young researchers that study the metrics of software development, while also they will be introduced to the automotive environment of DevOps, the latest emerging buzzword in software development.
Numerical Modeling of a Pile Group Subjected to Seismic Loading Using the Hypoplasticity Model
Authors: Jawad A. S. , Albusoda B. S.
Published: December 2022

Various simple and complicated models have been utilized to simulate the stress-strain behavior of the soil. These models are used in Finite Element Modeling (FEM) for geotechnical engineering applications and analysis of dynamic soil-structure interaction problems. These models either can't adequately describe some features, such as the strain-softening of dense sand, or they require several parameters that are difficult to gather by conventional laboratory testing. Furthermore, soils are not completely linearly elastic and perfectly plastic for the whole range of loads. Soil behavior is quite difficult to comprehend and exhibits a variety of behaviors under various circumstances. As a result, a more realistic constitutive model is needed, one that can represent the key aspects of soil behavior using simple parameters. In this regard, the powerful hypoplasticity model is suggested in this paper. It is classified as a non-linear model in which the stress increment is stated in a tonsorial form as a function of strain increment, actual stress, and void ratio. Eight material characteristics are needed for the hypoplastic model. The hypoplastic model has a unique way to keep the state variables and material parameters separated. Because of this property, the model can implement the behavior of soil under a variety of stresses and densities while using the same set of material properties.

Published: December 2022

The current study investigates the deformation and strength of Light-Weighted Soil (LWS) comprised of silt, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads, cement, and water. The EPS bead sizes employed in this study are 4, 5, and 6mm in diameter with densities of 0.011, 0.009, and 0.006g/cm3 and cement concentrations of 10% and 15%. The effects of different EPS bead sizes and cement proportions on the mechanical properties (strength and deformation) of LWS are evaluated by Unconfined Compression Strength (UCS) tests. The findings show that the EPS bead sizes significantly impact the strength and deformations of the LWS. The smaller the EPS bead size, the higher the observed strength, but, on the other hand, bigger EPS bead sizes have lower strength and higher ductility. It was also revealed that the strength of LSW is entirely dependent on the cement concentration. High cement content in the LWS has more strength and brittleness, but it is more prone to deformation. The cost can be decreased by increasing the EPS bead size, and thus the prescription of mixed soil can be enhanced. The use of EPS beads with a diameter of 4-6mm is recommended in the construction process, especially in backfill for retaining walls. Each EPS bead size provides advantages in different context, depending on engineering applications and field conditions.
