Purpose: Incidence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) and related risk factors in patients with liver cancer and chronic kidney disease after trans-catheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is higher. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and safety of TACE therapy in such patients.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 103 patients with liver cancer and chronic kidney disease who underwent TACE treatments. TACE was performed according to Seldinger’s technique of arterial embolization with minor modifications. Based on CIN diagnostic criteria, patients were divided into non-CIN (n=89) and CIN (n=14) groups. Multiple clinical parameters were assessed for the two groups after TACE. Serum creatinine levels were measured 48-72 h after TACE.
Results: Tumor size (>5 cm), TACE frequency, contrast agent dosage, solitary kidney, volume of iodized oil used in the TACE (ml) and urea levels were significantly higher in CIN group in comparison with the non-CIN group, while serum albumin and haemoglobin levels were significantly lower. Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that the volume of iodized oil and TACE frequency were significantly positively correlated, and serum albumin level was negatively correlated in the CIN group.
Conclusion: Volume of iodized oil, TACE frequency and low serum albumin levels were found to be independent risk factors for CIN after TACE. Thus, it is safe and feasible for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with chronic kidney disease to receive TACE treatment, but adverse events management after TACE needs to be addressed.
Syntactic peculiarities of Turkish news materials
Authors: Alekseeva Olga Andreevna
Published: October 2021

This article reviews the syntactic peculiarities of Turkish news materials determined as result of analysis of the most reputable Turkish online news sources, such as Anadolu Ajansı, Hürriyet, Cumhuriyet etc. The key syntactic peculiarity of news materials is the direct order of words in sentences (SOV) without inversion. News reports usually represent a set of simple sentences, which are complicated by the extended sentence parts (most commonly with forms ending with -DIğI/-AcAğI) and homogeneous parts of the sentence. News materials are characterized by the use of simple sentences, in which the subject is expressed in forms ending with -DIğI/-AcAğI or the verb name ending with -mA, while the predicate is in passive voice. Extended participial clauses with a semi-predicative meaning, pronounced present or past participle ending with -An. The subordinate word of such participial clauses is generally the subject of the superordinate clause. The article examines the formats of direct and indirect speech, lists the most commonly used phrases that introduce direct speech, as well as provides the examples of sentences that contain both direct and indirect speech. The author also cites statistical data on the prevalence of sentences containing direct and indirect speech in news materials. The article lists grammatical structures typical for sociopolitical discourse. These include constructions with the verb ‘bulunmak’ (to have), the peculiarity of which lies in replacement of verbs such as ‘ifade etmek’ (to express), “çağırmak” (to call) , etc. by compound nominal structures in locative case, which forms a single-affix ezāfe with the previous phrase and the verb ‘bulunmak’ (to have). Construction is -DIğI görüşünde or -AcAğI görüşünde.is commonly uses alongside constructions with the verb ‘bulunmak’.

Adverse effects of antimalarial drugs, which were commonly attributed to chloroquine such as: headache, various skin eruptions, Pruritus, Gastro-intestinal disturbances such as nausea, and vomiting. Others, such as: mental changes involving psychotic episodes, anxiety, visual disturbances such as blurred vision, keratopathy or retinopathy. Some common side effects like loss of hair, ototoxicity, photosensitivity, tinnitus, neuro-myopathy, myopathy, erythema multiformes and Stevens-Johnson syndrome, hemolysis and blood dyscrasias, Neutropenia etc., are still reported in some patients treated with the Pyrimethamine and Sulphadoxine drug combination. The emergence of combination therapeutic approach to malaria treatment was believed to have reduced the frequency of these events, but most, still persist. This survey was conducted to therefore, assess the overall presentation of Diarrhoea, Pruritus and Vomit in Patients treated with Maloxine and Fansidar. At Day zero, (D0), 40(15.0%) Presented positive Diarrhoea cases; 05(1.9%) present positive cases of pruritus and 73(27.4%) presented positive cases of vomit. At Day 2, (D2), 03(1.1%) presented positive Diarrhoea cases as against 263(98.9%) of negative cases; 01(0.4%) presented positive cases of pruritus as against 265(99.6%) of negative cases. Day Seven, (D7) and Day Fourteen, (D14) recorded clearance of the adverse effects. There is therefore need for relevant drug treatment follow up to clear the adverse effects engendered by malaria drug therapy.

Optimal sermaye yapısının ne olması gerektiği yazında halen tartışılan konulardan birisidir. Optimal sermaye yapısı üzerinde tam bir fikir birliğine varılamaması konuya ilişkin birçok teorinin geliştirilmesine sebep olmuştur. Sermaye yapısı içindeki borç ve özsermaye oranının firma değeri üzerinde yaratacağı etki, sermaye yapısı kararlarının önemini göstermektedir. Bu yüzden finanslama politikası belirlenirken ortalama sermaye maliyetini minimum yapacak ve firma değerine maksimum katkı sağlayacak bir borç/özsermaye oranının seçilmesi gerekmektedir. Optimal sermaye yapısı, ortalama sermaye maliyetini minimum ve firma değerini maksimize yapan oran olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı her bir sermaye yapısı yüzdesindeki ağırlıklı ortalama sermaye maliyeti (WACC) ile firma değerine etkisini hesaplayarak optimal sermaye yapısının tespit edilmesidir. Söz konusu tespit edilen oran ile Markowitz’in etkin sınır yaklaşımındaki optimal değerler karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak etkin sınır yaklaşımı ile borç ve özsermayenin farklı ağırlıklarıyla oluşturulan her bir portföyün optimal noktasının ne olması gerektiği ve optimal sermaye yapısının alternatif başka bir yöntemle de hesaplanabileceği gösterilmiştir.

В настоящей работе представлены экспериментальные исследования получения нитрида алюминия в режиме горения в спутном потоке азота. Исследовано горение гранул размером δ=500–1000 мкм, состоящих из алюминия и нитрида алюминия в качестве инертного разбавителя, в условиях спутной фильтрации в потоке азота в диапазоне удельного расхода 1,5–5,0 см3/(с∙см2). Исследование горения в условиях спутной фильтрации проводилось в проточном СВС-реакторе с внутренним диаметром реакционной камеры 1,6∙cм. Выявлено, что удельный расход газа оказывает существенное влияние на скорость и температуру горения исследуемого состава, что в свою очередь сказывается на продуктах горения. Рассмотренный метод позволяет получать нитриды металлов без использования реакторов высокого давления. В процессе синтеза нитрида алюминия максимальное давление на выходе из реактора не превышало 1,3 атм. Структура и фазовый состав продуктов синтеза изучены при помощи методов рентгенофазового анализа и электронной микроскопии. Максимально достигнутая чистота целевой фазы AlN составила 95 мас.%. В работе показана принципиальная возможность получения нитрида алюминия различных составов в режиме спутной фильтрации за счет варьирования режимных параметров.

Фотокатоды, изготовленные из сплавов системы Ir-Ce, наряду с высокими электронно-эмиссионными свойствами обладают высокой термической стойкостью, электропроводностью и теплопроводностью и находят широкое применение как источники электронов. В настоящей работе проведеноисследование фазового состава и структуры сплава Ir-16,7 ат.% Ce, предназначенного для использования в качестве материала фотокатода. Сплав, полученный методом электронно-лучевой плавки, имеет соотношение компонентов соответствующее интерметаллиду CeIr5. Несмотря на стехиометрический состав сплава CeIr5, при кристаллизации образовался многофазный материал. Рентгенофазовый анализ показал присутствие в материале фотокатода трех фаз Ir, CeIr5 и Ce2Ir7. Эти фазы имеют высокую температуру плавления относительно других фаз системы Ir-Ce. Исследования микроструктуры фотокатода методом оптической микроскопии, показали, что основой сплава является эвтектика CeIr5 + Ir, по границам которой расположены интерметаллиды Ce2Ir7. Фаза CeIr5кристаллизуется в виде игл со средним диаметром 1,5 мкм. Высокая дисперсность структуры может увеличить эмиссионные свойства фотокатода.
ЛИКВАЦИЯ СУРЬМЫ ПО СЕЧЕНИЮ СВИНЦОВЫХ ОТЛИВОК КАК ПРИЧИНА ДЕФЕКТОВ ПРИ ПРОИЗВОДСТВЕ ИЗДЕЛИЙ ИЗ СВИНЦОВЫХ СПЛАВОВ МЕТОДАМИ

В работе представлен сравнительный анализ макро- и микроструктуры свинцовой отливки и свинцового прутка, полученного из этой отливки методом изостатического прессования. Современными методами цветной оптической металлографии показано влияние ликвации сурьмы как основного легирующего элемента представленного сплава, на качество получаемой продукции. Установлено, что верхняя часть отливки, имеющая поверхностную трещину, возникшую в результате доливки закристаллизовавшейся отливки дополнительным количеством свинца, по поверхности сплавления имеет повышенное содержание сурьмы, неметаллических включений и пор. Внутри отливки имеется усадочная раковина, расположенная вдоль оси отливки и возникшая в результате усадки материала при его кристаллизации. По содержанию основного элемента сплава сурьмы свинец отливок соответствует сплаву PbSb0,9 по ГОСТ 1292-81 «Сплавы свинцово-сурьмянистые. Технические условия», но содержание примесей превышает значение, рекомендованное в ГОСТ: суммарное содержание примесей ограничено 0,1 %, в то время как в исследованных отливках суммарное содержание меди, кадмия, висмута и палладия составляет порядка 1 %. Микроструктурные исследования отливок показали, что основным дефектом её структуры является усадочная раковина, расположенная вдоль оси отливки. Возникновение её, связано с чрезмерно высокой температурой разливки свинца в форму. Это привело к длительному времени кристаллизации, свидетельством чего является ликвация сурьмы в приповерхностных областях усадочной раковины. Металл приповерхностных слоёв усадочной раковины имеет повышенное содержание сурьмы, неметаллических включений и несплошностей, что значительно изменяет его механические свойства по сравнению с основным металлом, в том числе пластичность, которая играет решающую роль при переработке отливки пластическим деформированием.

Рассмотрено механическое поведение пористого TiNi при деформации одноосным растяжением образцов. На основе деформационной кривой σ = f(ε) построена зависимость коэффициента деформационного упрочнения Θ от деформации ε. Результаты, полученные при помощи оптической системы Vic-3D, показали перспективность исследований, направленных на поиск общих закономерностей на основе анализа эволюции распределений деформационных полей на поверхности пористых сплавов на основе никелида титана при деформационных воздействиях. Выявленные особенности деформационных кривых коррелируют с изменением распределений деформационных полей на спекл-картинах от приложенного внешнего одноосного напряжения растяжением. Обнаружено укрупнение характерного размера локальных деформационных областей на спекл-картинах на поверхности 3D-каркаса пористого материала при уменьшении толщины образцов и при их растяжении от усредненной деформации по рабочему полю образца более чем на 0.005%.На основе анализа деформационных кривых при одноосном растяжении образцов установлена стадийность, которая коррелирует с изменениями в пространстве и во времени распределений деформационных полей на поверхности образцов.
РАЗРАБОТКА ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ДИФФУЗИОННОГО УПРОЧНЕНИЯ СПЕЧЕННЫХ КЕРАМИЧЕСКИХ W-Cо МАТЕРИАЛОВ ОДНОВРЕМЕННЫМ ДИФФУЗИОННЫМ НАСЫЩЕНИЕМ БОРОМ, ХРОМОМ И ТИТАНОМ

Диффузионное борирование, как один из видов химико-термической обработки, значительно повышает износостойкость, а также коррозионную стойкость упрочненных изделий. При этом, основной недостаток боридных покрытий, который ограничивает применение – это их высокая хрупкость. Данная проблема может быть решена путем создания многокомпонентных покрытий на основе бора: борохромирование, боротитанирование, бор-хром-титанирование. Образцы из спеченного керамического W-Cо материала марки ВК8 диаметром 12 мм и длиной 10 мм покрывали обмазкой из порошка титана зернистостью 40 мкм, разведенного в этилсиликате. В качестве насыщающей среды использовали самозащитную порошковую засыпку, насыщение вели в камерной печи, оборудованной ПИД-Контроллером. Температура и время насыщения соответственно выбраны равными 1050 °С и 1,5 ч. Образцы после завершения процесса насыщения извлекали из контейнера и подвергали закалке в масле непосредственно с температуры насыщения. Твердость основного материала на образцах ВК8 составила 1740±180 HV0,1. Максимальная микротвердость диффузионных покрытий составила 4600 HV0,1для покрытий, полученных на образцах, предварительно обмазанных титаном и далее подвергнутых комплексному бор-хром-титанированию. Для покрытий, полученных одновременным бор-хром-титанированием без дополнительной обмазки, максимальная микротвердость не превышала 3500 HV0,1. Толщина диффузионного слоя на упрочненных с применением предварительной обмазки титаном образцах составила 10 мкм, толщина диффузионного покрытия при одновременном насыщении бором, хромом и титаном – 12 мкм. Согласно данным производственных испытаний, стойкость упрочненных диффузионным бор-хром-титанированием с применением предварительной обмазки титаном, съёмных резцовых пластин из ВК8 на операции фрезерования литой стали оказалась в 3,2-3,5 раза выше стойкости неупрочненных и в 1,5 раза выше бор-хром-титанированных резцовых пластин.

Сплав карбида вольфрама и кобальта используется для изготовления износостойких механических деталей, режущих инструментов и сверления. Чтобы синтезировать эти различные сплавы с использованием метода порошковой металлургии, мы препятствуем уплотнению сплавов в жидкой фазе. Механические свойства этих материалов строго зависят от его порошкообразования, состава, концентрации добавок, фазы карбида, режима технологии обработки, особенно температуры спекания [2]. Хорошо известно, что крупица наноструктурированного WC и Co сразу влияет на конечный продукт. Важно контролировать рост зерна во время спекания, поскольку размер зерна и его распределение могут критически влиять на такие свойства, как твердость, прочность и износостойкость [1, 7]. Наиболее часто используемые ингибиторы роста зерна в металлургической промышленности – это хром, карбид тантала или карбид ванадия. В настоящей работе изучено влияние спекания, микроструктуры, фазовых и механических свойств WC-10 % Co. Образцы порошка смешивались и размалывались в перчаточном боксе, содержащем инертную атмосферу аргона для предотвращения окисления. После измельчения порошки прессовали при нагревании. Этот процесс осуществлялся в компрессорной машине с тремя режимами работы.

Published: October 2021

Background: To study the clinico-pathological profile and outcome of critically ill patients with infectious endemic diseases requiring intensive care management Methods: A prospective, non randomized, cross sectional, observational study of 50 critically ill patients (more than 18 years of age) admitted in the ICU setup in a rural tertiary hospital over 2 years, suffering from an endemic tropical disease, was conducted. Parameters to study the outcome of the study were indication for ICU management, evidence of multiple system involvement, common precipitating factor and associated morbidity and mortality. Findings: Our study regarding endemic infectious diseases of Western Maharashtra included 15 females (30%) and 35 males (70%). The mean age in our study was 40.52 ± 15.08 years with minimum of 19 years and maximum of 63 years. Fever (n=50) followed by jaundice (n=19) and renal failure were the most common presenting features. A qSOFA Score of 2 and 3 were common on presentation (n=23). Mean SOFA score at presentation for patients admitted in the ICU for management of endemic infectious diseases was 13.6 ± 5.3. Most common co morbidity seen was diabetes (n=10) followed by thyroid disorders (n=5) and chronic Liver Disease (n=3). Mortality in our study was 12 patients (24%). Results: It has been seen that higher SOFA scores at 24 hours of presentation led to longer duration of hospital stay. Most common organ failure was renal failure in 29 patients (28%) followed by hepatic failure in 17 patients (34%) during the course of ICU stay. Conclusion: qSOFA scores of 2 or above at the time of hospitalisation was an important predictor of mortality. Understanding the features and complications of endemic infectious diseases help to identify patients at high risk and treat them with optimal intensive care.
Rising Seas: Coastal Adaptation to Climate Change
Authors:   , Patel Shivani
Published: October 2021

Science tells us that we are close to the irreversible tipping point into an unknown climate of the Anthropocene in which humanity has no option but to adapt or to be destroyed. Human influence is changing the earth and a major factor is urbanisation. Cities are one of the largest contributors to global climate change.

This thesis develops a design-led research methodology and approach that develops alternative, speculative landscape intervention strategies to bridge the gap between climate change science and the landscape and the residents of Island Bay, in the city of Wellington, New Zealand. This research aims to take full advantage of new technologies and systems to provide resilient social, ecological and physical solutions for the coastal neighbourhood in the face of climate-related change. These solutions form a comprehensive framework and tools that anticipate a foreseeable future of saturated landscapes. It is a strategy that builds the adaptive capacity of the coastal zone, enhances existing natural systems, accommodates a variety of best coastal management practices and integrates alternative concepts in the coastal neighbourhood adaptation management plan.

These solutions address the unpredictable issue of rising sea levels, storm surges and coastal inundation. In addition, the approach fosters urban environment solutions at various scales, such what a property owner can do and what public/private cooperation can do. Overall, this new integrated system approach has the potential to recalibrate urban coastal environments, catalyse resiliency and provide a robust model for designing mitigative, adaptative coastal communities in response to rising sea-levels and to support a new set of relationships between nature and urbanity.
Nuts & Bolts: An exploration of design for deconstruction and component re-use in engineered timber construction
Authors:   , Strang George
Published: October 2021

This research is fuelled by the ever-increasing impact of global pollution and climate change, and the role the construction industry plays in it. Vast amounts of construction waste, needless manufacturing of single-use and composite products, and poor construction practices culminate in a linear economy model on which the world operates. It is a problem that can no longer be ignored and must be rectified. This research aims to develop and propose a construction system suitable for deconstruction and continued component reuse, using engineered timber products available in today’s market. The system will be tested against several implementations across a variety of building scales. This research has the intention of enabling component reuse for a circular economy. A circular economy minimises waste produced. Less waste is good.

The resulting design proposal is a modular and prefabricated braced frame construction system to suit large and small scales, with removable foundations and adaptive spatial planning. Effective separation of building layers is achieved to allow for access, maintenance, and simple disassembly. Traditional Japanese timber joining techniques have also been researched and used to influence component connection design for deconstruction. This research eliminates irreversible fixings such as adhesives, nails, and screws. The system is then tested across commercial, residential, and small-scale implementations to test its feasibility.

It will serve as a case study that questions how we think of buildings and value their components. It aims to enable the same components to be useful across multiple building scales, minimising redundancy and waste.

Transient ischemic attack(TIA), being a precursor of stroke, increases the risk of its development by up to 30% low awareness of the population about TIA symptoms, may cause late hospitalization of patients with its development and thereby cause stroke and reduce the effectiveness of treatment. Using a simple, practical ABCD 2 scale (age, arterial hypertension, presence of paresis and aphasia, duration of symptoms more than 60 minutes, diabetes mellitus) may be of predictive value in patients’ hospitalization. It is necessary to start the secondary prevention of stroke as soon as possible. The issue of choosing modern methods of prevention and treatment of patients with TIA, the choice of the optimal method of surgical treatment of patients with stenosis ofthe carotid arteries is currently not completely resolved.Keywords: transitory ischemic attack, stroke, prognosis, atherosclerosis, diagnosis, prevention, treatment.

This article traces the developments of African philosophy since 1994, a year marked by two events that profoundly impacted Africa: the fall of apartheid and the Rwandan genocide. The article projects a fundamental tension into the history of recent African philosophy: between optimism and idealism, showing in the development of normative concepts and a new philosophical vocabulary for Africa – a “conceptual mandelanization” (Edet 2015: 218), on the one hand, and a critical realism ensuing from the experience of African “simple, that is, flawed, humanity” (Nganang: 2007: 30), on the other. The article identifies prominent trends in African philosophy since 1994, including Ubuntu, the Calabar School of Philosophy, Afrikology, the Ateliers de la pensée, Francophone histories of African philosophy, and Lusophone political and cultural philosophy.

The sound practice of keeping meadows and pastures, including the simultaneous use of long-term fallow lands in the crop rotation pattern, is possible only through improving the existing agrotechnical methods, sowing being the least energy-intensive among them. The study goal was to assess the uneven seeding of small-seeded crops using the technical modernization of a seeder equipped with mechanical seeding units and an innovative coulter group that ensures high-quality sowing. Comprehensive studies of the problems under consideration were carried out at Tver State Agricultural Academy. The authors present a systematic approach for assessing and implementing the technological process of sowing multi-species agrophytocenosis of small-seeded crops. The method includes the following stages: studying the profi le of the soil layer necessary for even germination of seeds; analyzing the parameters of placing the seed material, taking into account the depth of planting, the inter-row spacing width, the width between the seeds in the rows and determining the modeled level of plant density; assessing the possibility of modernization and use of the grain-fertilizer seeder SZ-3.6 for the simultaneous sowing of seeds of two crops; designing and testing a combination opener for simultaneous strip sowing of two diff erent crops. The data obtained aim to expand the theoretical and practical grounds for the development of new seeding machines and their working elements and introduce highly productive multicomponent agrophytocenoses for forage production. The following stages of research will optimize the methodology for studying the seeding parameters of agricultural plants to reduce the labor intensity and conduct fi eld tests of the sowing section using various types of small-seeded crops.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN AGRICULTURE

The accelerated pace of technical and technological innovations, robotization and digitalization contribute to the development and transformation of agricultural machinery and equipment. Digital services introduced in the agribusiness sector make it possible to increase the effi ciency of sectoral management, the rate of capital turnover, the effi ciency of resource use, the transparency of state support provision, and reduce the costs of agricultural producers necessary for reporting the financial outcomes of their activity. The use of modern digital technologies makes it possible to increase the effi ciency of sowing and harvesting operations, vectorize the crop area, as well as accurately and quickly determine the vegetation index. The use of the precision farming technology contributes to the minimization of uncertainty factors, ensures the planning and rational use of production processes, and leads to an increase in labor productivity and quality. Automated setting up of agricultural machinery helps maximize its productivity, eliminating the need for constant manual adjustments, and reducing the workload on the operator. Despite the intensive introduction of digital technologies in agriculture, due to the specifi c features of the industry, it is not possible to ensure completely remote digital farm production. Poor coverage of rural areas with the Internet network, the lack of free funds for small and medium-size businesses to purchase equipment and technologies, as well as the lack of highly qualifi ed personnel hamper the full use of new digital solutions. Analysis of digital transformations in agriculture has shown that the speed and scale of ongoing transformations lead to the development of certain imbalances in the sector. A negative consequence of the massive digitalization of production is the redundancy of labor resources, which has negative social eff ects. Further digitalization of the agribusiness sector must ensure a symbiosis between online technological solutions and the offl ine “fi eld” work of specialists.

Authors:   Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, BRAGINETS SERGEY V.
Published: October 2021

On-farm compound feed production from self-produced raw materials is favorable to agricultural enterprises under present-day conditions. The authors carried out a comparative technical and economic study of the conventional and modular small-scale on-farm compound feed plants with a capacity of 2 tons per hour, designed for agricultural enterprises with an average livestock population of 6…8 thousand pigs. The proposed modular plant consists of two modules – the operative storage of raw materials and the main module of grinding and mixing. Modules with installed equipment are delivered and placed on a light foundation, connected by transport equipment and with tanks for raw materials and fi nished products. The conventional factory is a technological line housed in a hangar and used for crushing, metering, and mixing raw materials. It consists of a separator, a hammer mill, weighing equipment, a mixer, containers for raw materials and fi nished products, transport, and aspiration equipment. The technical and economic analysis has shown that the erection and operation of the on-farm modular enterprise require 41% less capital investments than a traditional compound feed plant of the same capacity. The use of a small-scale modular plant will reduce operating costs by 23.8% (from 3094 to 2358 thousand rubles), increase the specifi c economic eff ect from the compound feed production by 1.6% (from 8.64 to 8.78 thousand rubles per ton) and return on margin by 4% (from 10.2 to 10.6%), reduce the payback period by 42% (from 0.8 to 0.46 years), and increase the net present value by 3% (from 66167 to 68216 thousand rubles), as compared to a conventional enterprise. The modular on-farm plants producing loose compound feed with a productivity of up to 3 tons per hour are profi table and economically sound as they can increase production effi ciency of compound feeds for farm animals.`

Published: October 2021

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new iterative algorithm to approximate the fixed points of almost contraction mappings and generalized α-nonexpansive mappings. Also, we show that our proposed iterative algorithm converges weakly and strongly to the fixed points of almost contraction mappings and generalized α-nonexpansive mappings. Furthermore, it is proved analytically that our new iterative algorithm converges faster than one of the leading iterative algorithms in the literature for almost contraction mappings. Some numerical examples are also provided and used to show that our new iterative algorithm has better rate of convergence than all of S, Picard-S, Thakur and M iterative algorithms for almost contraction mappings and generalized α-nonexpansive mappings. Again, we show that the proposed iterative algorithm is stable with respect to T and data dependent for almost contraction mappings. Some applications of our main results and new iterative algorithm are considered. The results in this article are improvements, generalizations and extensions of several relevant results existing in the literature.

Published: October 2021

Phishing is a fraudulent attempt where attackers trick the victims into disclosing sensitive information under pretenses. This research project aims to develop a Google Chrome extension to detect phishing emails. We firstly collected a number of phishing email samples. Then we used text mining techniques to find out the words that are important in phishing emails. Next, we developed a classifier model that the Chrome extension will use to detect phishing emails using those words. The next step was to test the extension with phishing email samples and standard (non-phishing) email samples. After that, the evaluation metrics were collected. We found our extension was able to identify phishing emails and non-phishing emails with a relatively high degree of accuracy.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the mineral contents of I. zollingeriana growing with different planting densities. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with three different planting densities (8,000 plants per ha, 13,333 plants per ha, and 20,000 plants per ha) and 3 replication. Plant biomass was analyzed for macro and micro mineral contents as well as Ca:P ratio. The results showed that increased planting densities significantly increased (p<0.05) P, Cu, and Cr contents, but decreased Ca and Na contents  had no significant effect  on Mg, K, Mn, Zn and Fe contents. Furthermore, the increased planting densities significantly decreased (p<0.05) uptakes of Ca, K, Mn, and Fe by the plants, but increased (p<0.05) the uptakes of Cu and Cr. Meanwhile, the uptakes of P, K, Na, and Zn were not affected by planting densities. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the planting density of I. zollingeriana should be maintained in 8,000 plants ha-1 to maintain the content and uptake of mineral in forage crops.
