Combustion Parametric Investigations of Methanol-Based RCCI Internal Combustion Engine and Comparison with the Conventional Dual Fuel Mode
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad Yousaf , Wang Tie , Li Guoxing , Ali Wahab
Published: October 2023

Reactivity-controlled compression ignition (RCCI) is an advanced combustion mode. Its uses two fuels with different physical and chemical properties to form a combustible mixture with active stratification. RCCI can flexibly control the combustion process by changing the concentration and activity of the combustible mixture. It can also reduce the emission of NOx and particulate matter in the engine without significantly reducing the thermal efficiency. Among various fuel combinations, methanol as an oxygen-containing fuel, has a high latent heat of vaporization, which is conducive to reducing combustion temperature and achieving low-temperature combustion. This experimental study explores the potential of Methanol-Diesel Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) in achieving low emissions and high thermal efficiency and compares this with the conventional dual fuel mode. Low-temperature combustions such as Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) have been shown to be a promising way to reduce pollutants at the exhaust, i.e. NOx and soot emissions. and increase the thermal efficiency of future engines. The methanol to diesel energy share (MDES) could be enhanced to 56% in the RCCI mode with proper setting of the injection parameters from 45% in the dual fuel mode. A higher quantity in the second diesel pulse that occurred close to TDC led to higher thermal efficiency and good combustion stability. Engines working in a dual-fuel mode need special conditions to ignite an air-fuel mixture without a spark plug in a good moment with high combustion efficiency.

I just read Mick Watson’s post Why I resigned as PLOS ONE academic editor on his blog opiniomics. Turns out his frustration with PLOS ONE is not to do with his editorial work but with the long silences he faced as an author at that journal when trying to get a bad decision appealed. I can  totally  identify with that, though my most frustrating experiences along these lines have been with other journals.

Published: October 2023

The aim of this study was to measure how the use of simulation contributes to the improvement of speaking skills and the enhancement of students' motivation to learn a foreign language. The methods of observation, testing, and expert evaluation were used to diagnose the criteria of foreign language communicative competence (motivational, cognitive, and behavioral). The quality of the manifestation of interaction was correlated with its development, and three levels of foreign language communicative competence among students were distinguished: low (reproductive), medium (reproductive-productive), and high (productive). The study results showed that the EG significantly increased the indicators for all foreign language communicative competence criteria. The comparison of the results of the two experimental stages revealed a higher increase in indicators of high and medium levels of foreign language communicative competence in the second stage (high level—by 10.1%, medium level—by 4.9%). It was determined that simulations contribute to the gradual development of all foreign language communicative competence criteria. The main advantages of simulations are that they provide an opportunity to reproduce various communicative situations, thereby contributing to improving speaking skills, understanding the language in real time, and adapting to the requirements of real communication. The prospect for further research is the study of the impact of different forms of simulation on the effectiveness of foreign language learning.

Published: October 2023

Semakin meningkatnya gairah para konsumen otomotif di Indonesia dan mancanegara untuk membeli mobil pasca COVID-19 ini, mendorong perusahaan otomotif Indonesia dan para pemasoknya untuk selalu meningkatkan produktivitas. Namun, ‘semangat’ tersebut tidak selamanya diikuti oleh seluruh pemasok yang ada, khususnya perusahaan SME (Small Medium Enterprise) atau biasa dikenal dengan perusahaan UMKM (Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah). Keberadaan UMKM tersebut, meski tidak secara langsung memproduksi komponen otomotif, namun sangat berperan dalam menunjang kelancaran proses produksi. Salah satu contohnya adalah pembuatan pallet untuk penempatan material dan produk setengah jadi di PT SIJ. Terkadang masalah yang sering dihadapi perusahaan tersebut adalah lambatnya proses fabrikasi, kualitas yang buruk, hingga delay dalam pengiriman ke pelanggan. Permasalahan yang sering dihadapi dalam pembuatan equipment penunjang tersebut seringkali disebabkan oleh masih banyaknya waste yang terjadi disetiap lini. Aktivitas pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan konsep dasar Lean manufacturing khususnya untuk perusahaan SME, yang nantinya diharapkan perusahaan tersebut dapat menerapkan konsep dasar ini yang sudah terbukti dapat mengeliminasi waste sehingga delay pengiriman dapat terhindari.

Effect Of Oxygen Scavenging By Yttrium Addition On Fatigue Properties Of MIM Ti-6Al-4V Using HDH-Powder
Authors: Limberg W. , Ebel T. , Willumeit-Römer R.
Published: October 2023

For this study, tensile test specimens and rectangular shaped fatigue test specimens were produced by MIM, using a mixture of hydride de-hydride (HDH) Ti-6Al-4V powder with high oxygen content (4200 µg/g) and 20% gas atomized Ti-6Al-4V powder with 1600 µg/g oxygen. Due to the oxygen-scavenging effect, the addition of 0.5 wt.-% yttrium powder with a particle size < 45 µm to the powder mixture led to a strong increase of ductility from 4.5% to 13.5%. The results of the fatigue tests, conducted by 4-point bending at room temperature with a load ratio of 0.2 show a totally different behaviour. While the ductility is increasing, the fatigue endurance limit drops from 420 MPa for the pure Ti-6Al-4V down to 350 MPa by the addition of yttrium. This decrease of fatigue strength is caused by the large irregular shaped Y2O3 filled pore clusters, which are forming during sintering.

Authors: С.У. Карибаев , Б.А. Байназарова
Published: October 2023

В истории каждого народа есть структуры, характеризующие специфику его развития. Одной из особенностей, определяющих национальную идентичность казахского народа, является институт батыров.В результате кочевого образа жизни традиционного казахского общества, необходимости защиты от внешних угроз, сформировался институт батыров. Становление института батыров в казахской степи началось в раннем средневековье и прошел не малый путь развития. А именно, вопервых, герои сформировались в раннем средневековье, при тюркских каганатах; во-вторых, он пережил расцвет в XVIIIи первой половине XIXвеков; в-третьих, под влиянием российской колониальной администрации были предприняты меры по уничтожению института батыров.Защита государства от внешних врагов стала главной задачей батыров. Можно однозначно сказать, что в определенный период он стал оплотом единства, независимости своей страны, народа.Благодаря изучению истории института батыров, открытия новых фактов становится ясно, что это способствует укреплению независимости нашей страны. Всем известно, что изучение истории казахских героев воспитывает патриотизм у подрастающего поколения
Microstructural Analysis of Poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-1-butene) terpolymers by Multidimensional NMR Spectroscopy
Authors: Nuamthanom Anuttra , Sandee Phusadee
Published: October 2023

Physical, rheological and optical properties of polymer depend on its molecular microstructure. Specifically, the monomer content and sequence distribution of polymer significantly affect the mechanical performance of the final product. To this base, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) has been introduced as a very powerful technique to study the microstructure of polymer. The purpose of this study was to develop a methodology to investigate the microstructure of poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-butene) terpolymer by using multidimensional NMR spectroscopy, including pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) 1H-13C heteronuclear single quantum coherence (GHSQC), heteronuclear multiple bond coherence (gHMBC), and heteronuclear single quantum coherence-total correlation spectroscopy (GHSQC-TOCSY). The combination of 1D and 2D NMR experiments, permit the characterization of the complex structure of poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-butene) terpolymer. The completed 13C NMR assignments provided in this work allow more accurate quantitative determination of the microstructure in these polymers.
Task and Relationship Orientation of Aspiring Leaders: A Study of Male and Female Adults in Business Education
Authors: Mujtaba Bahaudin
Published: October 2023

Leadership has many components, including being task and relationship oriented. There are creative, innovative, and tech-savvy aspiring leaders who are very good at building relationships but may experience some challenges in meeting deadlines regarding urgent and nonurgent tasks. This research aims to help managers and aspiring leaders better understand their dominant orientation as a leader and use whichever leadership dimension best matches a prospective project and its surrounding contextual elements. As such, respondents were asked to complete a leadership questionnaire for reflection on their dominant tendencies. The results of 3950 respondents (58.7% female and 41.3% male) showed a statistically significant difference in their task and relationship orientations, with the latter being a predominant skill for a majority. Furthermore, men are more task-oriented than female respondents, and women tend to be significantly higher on relationship orientation. These findings are useful for increasing diversity/gender equity in leadership positions and matching a current or prospective employee with a given project based on the criticality of meeting task deadlines and relationship maintenance requirements. Suggestions and implications for practice through a “person-job-fit” process are provided. Overall, this study explored the basics of leadership orientations based on quantitative research and provided information on the fact that females are more relationship-oriented than their male counterparts in the various fields of business education. Consequently, it would behoove organizations to increase the number of female managers, executives, and board members so firms can benefit from the diversity of their dominant styles in building stronger relationships at higher levels of the organization. Recommendations for discussion, reflection and training should be industry-specific and focused on the person-job-fit match to put the right people in the right jobs so aspiring leaders can be happy as they learn, grow, manage, lead, and become productive members of the organization and society at large.
Factors affecting the exchange rate in Sudan during the period from 1992 – 2022
Authors: Abdalla Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed
Published: October 2023

The paper aimed to study the factors affecting the exchange rate in Sudan during the period from 1992-2022, and to what extent these factors are considered determinants of the exchange rate in Sudan. Statistically significant between the gross domestic product, the monetary reserve, the value of exports and imports, and the exchange rate. The paper reached results, the most important of which is that the direct relationship between the volume of exports and the decline in the exchange rate of the Sudanese pound did not lead to an increase in the volume of exports and a decrease in the volume of imports, and thus did not contribute to a decrease in the deficit in the trade balance and the balance of payments. The most important recommendations of the paper are: the need to build and diversify foreign exchange reserves to increase the effectiveness of implementing exchange rate policies, and this can only be done through increasing real gross product, reducing imports and increasing exports.

O idoso fragilizado e a prevenção da fragilidade
Authors: Azeredo Zaida
Published: October 2023

A fragilidade relacionada com o idoso consiste num síndrome em que este esgotou as capacidades de responder de forma positiva a agentes stressantes, sejam eles internos ou externos ao indivíduo. Embora não dependente da idade é mais prevalente nos grupos etários mais idosos e no sexo feminino. Assim o idoso fragilizado é uma pessoa, cronologicamente com 65 ou mais anos, que conjuga uma série de situações bio-psico-sociais, que está em risco, perante agentes stressantes ainda que mínimos, de desencadear uma cascata de patologias e /ou incapacidades que obrigam a um maior número de institucionalizações e cada vez mais prolongados. Pode ainda levar à sua morte. O idoso fragilizado ou pré-fragilizado é um idoso que necessita de maior vigilância e melhor acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde e sociais. Com o envelhecimento da população e o aumento de grandes idosos a prevenção deste síndrome torna-se essencial, devendo começar em anos precoces do ciclo vital, de forma a atrasar um envelhecimento siológico e a evitar doenças precocemente incapacitantes.

Num mundo cada vez mais global, competitivo, em que se assiste à dificuldade em conciliar a vida pessoal com a vida profissional, os jovens vão protelando o desafio de serem pais, pelo que, o surgimento de um primeiro filho acontece cada vez mais tardiamente. São consideradas gestações tardias ou geriátricas, as gestações em mulheres que engravidam após os 34 anos de idade. Realizou-se um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, transversal atendendo aos dados clínicos de 198 gestantes com idade maior ou igual a 35 anos. A média (????) de idades foi de 37,89 anos (σ=5,395), com um valor mínimo (Xmín) de 35 anos e um valor máximo (Xmáx) de 45 anos de idade. Das participantes em estudo, 75,7% apresentaram algum tipo de complicação, uma percentagem expressiva que vem corroborar a associação entre idade materna avançada com o maior risco de complicações na gravidez. As complicações mais frequentes observadas foram as síndromes hipertensivas específicas da gestação, nomeadamente a pré-eclampsia (15,16%) e a hipertensão gestacional (sem evolução para pré-eclampsia, 14,14%), a diabetes gestacional (12,63%), o trabalho de parto prematuro (12,62%), o oligâmnios (10,6%) e o atraso de crescimento intrauterino (10,6%). Face aos resultados obtidos, a problemática da gravidez geriátrica deve ser refletida, já que sabemos das complicações que dai possam advir, quer para a mulher, recémnascido e sociedade.
Interpopulation Analysis of Function of Taheri Consciousness Fields in the Thermoluminescence Process

Published: October 2023

The mechanism related to electron alignments and the movement of electrons between them in the materials constituting TLD chips, along with very precise and sensitive methods of reading charges and counting electrons with different energies located in these levels, make these materials and this technique suitable candidates for studying and observing the effects of T-Consciousness Fields (TCFs). Previously, the effect of TCFs on the population of used and unused GR-200 chips was investigated over a period of about 21 days. Also, in a separate study, the results were examined and analyzed to observe changes with different announcers. In all of these studies, it was revealed that TCFs manifest their effect by reducing the charge read in the population until about 21 days after TCFs treatments. In this study, by summarizing the data obtained from three studies conducted with differences in the structure of the initial population and the announcer, we have compared changes in charge and entropy in these populations. The results of this study showed that the effectiveness of TCFs on these materials is possible, even though these fields are not inherently matter and energy. Moreover, evidence of effectiveness is independent of the structure of the sample and the announcer, together with the reduction of charge and entropy of the system (equivalent to the addition of system information based on the approach of information theory) and delivery of some specific energy to the system, taking into account the law of conservation of matter, energy, and T-Consciousness, in which energy is provided for the system under the influence of the T-Consciousness factor; Also, the specific effect of the TCFs on the targeting of radiation at the level of the material by maintaining its effects in the mind of the material, during this study is evident.

Published: October 2023

Aquest text emmarca els articles del número monogràfic sobre les interseccions entre les ideologies i els drets lingüístics de Just. Journal of Language Rights & Minorities, Revista de Drets Lingüístics i Minories. L’article ofereix una revisió dels conceptes bàsics que articulen el número, a través dels quals s’argumenta que les ideologies que aconsegueixen predominança en les societats legitimen les desigualtats entre identitats socials, també en els marcs jurídics. La introducció posa l’èmfasi en el caràcter històric i dinàmic de les configuracions socials que estableixen relacions de dominació entre les identitats col·lectives. En aquest marc, la llengua esdevé un símbol d’identificació dels grups socials que encarna els conflictes entre grups. L’article finalitza destacant les contribucions dels articles publicats en el número a un diàleg que permeta visibilitzar els efectes de les ideologies lingüístiques i les distintes configuracions dels drets lingüístics en l’acceptació de les desigualtats entre identitats socials, com a primer pas per rebutjar-les.

The Thesis examines the influence of composite heating on electrical conductivity by heating externally and in self-heating mode with an applied voltage. For polychloroprene carbon black composites, a negative temperature coefficient of resistance (TC) is observed, but for ethylene-octene (EOK) carbon black (CB) composites, a positive TC is determined, so EOK-CB composites can act as a self-regulating heating material. A polar matrix has a significant impact on the overall electrical conductivity of the composite compared to a non-polar one. The images obtained from the electroconductive mode of the atomic force microscope for the EOK-CB composites are analysed to characterise the arrangement of particles in the composite.
ADVANTAGES AND CHALLENGES OF NOSQL COMPARED TO SQL DATABASES - A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Božić Rade
Published: October 2023

Relational data models represent a long-standing standard in database technologies. A unique language for writing queries, fixed schema, vertical scalability, consistency, durability are just some of their basic features. However, the development of information technologies and intensive recording of data leads to the emergence of Big Data, where problems arise when using SQL databases. Large amounts of semi-structured and unstructured data cannot be stored in a simple way, so new systems in data storage are being developed - NoSQL databases. The aim of this paper is to present the advantages and challenges of NoSQL compared to SQL databases through a systematic literature review. Based on the set research questions, the main features where NoSQL databases have advantages were formed, but the challenges they face during implementation and operation in relation to SQL databases were also presented. The research results were presented and interpreted.
RAZVOJ DIGITALNE EKONOMIJE U EVROPSKOJ UNIJI
Authors: Tomić Nataša
Published: October 2023

Proces digitalizacije imao je veliki uticaj na razvoj ekonomije Evropske Unije. Ključni koraci načinjeni od strane Evropske komisije u pravcu razvoja digitalne ekonomije, bili su lansiranje dvije kompatibilne strategije, Digitalne agende i Strategije jedinstvenog digitalnog tržišta. Imajući u vidu činjenicu o sve većem rastu i značaju digitalne ekonomije, Evropska komisija definisala je jedinstvenu politiku vezanu za ovu oblast. Jedinstveno digitalno tržište Evropske Unije temelji se na ideji zajedničkog tržišta, čija je osnovna svrha eliminisanje svih trgovačkih prepreka između zemalja članica sa ciljem povećanja ekonomskog blagostanja. Razvoj digitalne ekonomije, te ideje o jedinstvenom digitalnom tržištu na prostoru Evropske Unije naisao je na brojne prepreke. Kao neki od osnovnih faktora koji negativno utiču na razvoj digitalne ekonomije, te ideje o jedinstvenom digitalnom tržištu EU navode se nedostatak digitalne pismenosti, nedovaljna razcvijenost brze i kvalitetne mreže, te nizak stepen primjene informacione tehnologije u određenim dijelovima EU. Evropska komisija nizom mjera nastoji da podstakne razvoj i veću primjenu informacione tehnologije, te da kroz brojne programe poveća stepen digitalne pismenosi evropskog stanovništva. Na osnovu istraživanja navedene oblasti može se izvesti zaključak da osnovni koraci u razvoju digitalne ekonomije EU jesu razvoj jedinstvenog digitalnog tržišta Evropske Unije, te razvoj širokopojasnog pristupa koji podrazumjeva pristup 5G mreži kao osnovnom faktoru ostvarenja brze i efikasne komunikacije, te saradnje na cijelom prostoru EU.
A three filament mechanistic model of musculotendon force and impedance
Authors: Millard Matthew , Franklin David W. , Herzog Walter
Published: October 2023

The force developed by actively lengthened muscle depends on different structures across different scales of lengthening. Across short-range perturbations the active response of muscle is well captured by a stiff spring in parallel with a light damper, a response that originates from crossbridges. The force response of muscle to longer stretches is better represented by an compliant spring that can fix its end when activated. Experimental work has made it clear that the stiffness and damping (impedance) of muscle to short-range perturbations is of fundamental importance to motor learning and mechanical stability, while the huge forces developed during long active stretches are critical for simulating and predicting injury. Outside of motor learning and injury, muscle is actively lengthened as a part of nearly all terrestrial locomotion. Despite the functional importance of impedance and active lengthening, no single muscle model can emulate these mechanical properties. In this work, we present the visoelastic-crossbridge active-titin (VEXAT) model that can replicate the response of muscle to length changes great and small. To evaluate the VEXAT model, we compare its response to biological muscle by simulating experiments that measure the impedance of muscle, the forces developed during long active stretches, as well as the classic force-velocity and force-length characteristics of muscle. In addition, we have also compared the responses of the VEXAT model to a popular Hill-type muscle model. The VEXAT model more accurately captures the impedance of biological muscle and its responses to long active stretches than a Hill-type model while still retaining the ability to replicate the force-velocity and force-length properties of muscle. While the comparison between the VEXAT model and biological muscle is favorable, there are some phenomena that can be improved: the phase response of the model to low-frequency perturbations, and a mechanism to support passive force enhancement.

Critical Gram-negative pathogens, like
Pseudomonas
,
Stenotrophomonas
and
Burkholderia
, have become resistant to most antibiotics. Complex resistance profiles together with synergistic interactions between these organisms increase the likelihood of treatment failure in distinct infection settings, for example in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. Here, we discover that cell envelope protein homeostasis pathways underpin both antibiotic resistance and cross-protection in CF-associated bacteria. We find that inhibition of oxidative protein folding inactivates multiple species-specific resistance proteins. Using this strategy, we sensitize multi-drug resistant
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
to β-lactam antibiotics and demonstrate promise of new treatment avenues for the recalcitrant pathogen
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
. The same approach also inhibits cross-protection between resistant
S. maltophilia
and susceptible
P. aeruginosa
, allowing eradication of both commonly co-occurring CF-associated organisms. Our results provide the basis for the development of next-generation strategies that target antibiotic resistance, while also impairing specific interbacterial interactions that enhance the severity of polymicrobial infections.
Influence of ambient music in the decision-making process of customers of clothing stores in India
Authors: Krishnaswamy Satya Prasad Venkata
Published: October 2023

Music is one thing that brings every single human being in the world together. It is quite possibly the only thing in the entire world that is equally appreciated by everyone, regardless of their gender, nationality, ethnicity, age, or character. To look at it from a marketer’s perspective, it is clear that music affects people in many ways which helps or hurts a brand. Music plays a huge role in the success or failure of a brand’s recognition. It is so mysterious how human psyche connects a brand to the kind of music the brand associates with, and adapts its purchasing character according to the result. This study wants the mystery to be unravelled. This study aims to ascertain how ambient music affects shoppers' decisions in Indian clothing shops. The investigation's goal is to find out whether the use of background music has any chance of affecting consumers' attitudes, behaviours, and ultimately, purchase decisions. The study employs a mixed-methods approach to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. The research's results imply that ambient music may have a significant influence on shoppers' decisions in Indian clothing stores. According to the research, ambient music can foster a welcoming and interesting environment that entices customers to browse their offerings for an extended period of time and make purchases. The research also demonstrates that customers' attitudes and behaviours can be affected by the type of music played in a retail setting, along with their zone of tolerance while in a queue, which might affect the chances of the customers revisiting the store. The study also aims to show and accurately predict the purchasing patterns of potential customers of the clothing store.

Com a crise financeira na Europa, é sabido que a Zona do Euro está entre as regiões que se destacam como mais afetadas, principalmente Portugal, Itália, Espanha e Grécia. Em Portugal a crise financeira gerou uma enorme preocupação com a eficiência dos gastos públicos, não apenas por parte do governo, mas da sociedade como um todo. Dessa forma a compreensão da eficiência na gestão pública se faz imprescindível. É sabido que diversos elementos podem, de forma combinada, determinar a eficiência entidades, inclusive públicas. Este artigo busca examinar a relação que possa existir entre a dimensão municipal e a eficiência na gestão pública em Portugal. Para isso foi construído um indicador de dimensão, após foi relacionado os valores encontrados nesses indicadores às eficiências mensuradas pelo trabalho de Araujo Neto et al (2013). A pesquisa se justifica dado a importância de se conhecer a maneiras de se incentivar políticas públicas que melhorem a eficiência no setor público.
