Authors: Marwa Bedjaoui , Soufien Azzouz , Salaheddine Azzouz , Djillali Benchadli
Published: November 2024

This paper aimed to analyze the moisture desorption isotherms and specific thermodynamic properties of Algerian Eucalyptus globulus wood using the static gravimetric method. The study was conducted at height temperatures and relative humidity levels ranging from 5% to 90%. The desorption isotherms exhibited a sigmoidal shape, categorized as "type II." A suitable "thermodynamic" equation was chosen to describe the desorption isotherms under controlled conditions. The Clausius-Clapeyron relationship was employed to determine the isosteric heat of desorption. The results demonstrated that, for equilibrium moisture content below 4%, the differential enthalpy and entropy decreased exponentially with increasing moisture content. Specifically, the differential enthalpy decreased from 36 kJ/mol to 5 kJ/mol, while the entropy decreased from 76 J/ (mol K) to 13 J/ (mol K). The enthalpy-entropy compensation theory in the desorption reaction was validated by the observed difference between the isokinetic temperature and the harmonic temperature. Moreover, the wood-water desorption process was spontaneous, as confirmed by the negative value of Gibbs free energy (-1690 J/mol).  With increasing temperature, the spreading pressure dropped; at 40°C, it was 2.47978 J/m², and at 80°C, it was 0.82328 J/m². Conversely, the rate of increase was 0.11% J/m² per relative humidity as the water activity increased.

Authors: Mazouz Nacera , Addou Asmaa , Midoun Abdelhamid
Published: November 2024

In photovoltaic systems, the DC/DC converter operates in an environment characterized by disturbances, imprecise and uncertain variations in climatic parameters, and sensitivity to intrinsic photovoltaic module (PVM) parameters. These factors can significantly affect the operational efficiency and performance of both the DC/DC converters and the connected load. The objective of this research is to design an intelligent system comprising a fuzzy controller and a single inductance DC/DC converter to enhance the performance of PV systems. Two distinct Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods are proposed: the first employs a traditional technique, while the second leverages fuzzy logic. The developed system incorporates a photovoltaic module that supplies power to a load through a step-down chopper. The experimental setup comprises two primary sections, namely an acquisition section and a power interface one. Signals acquired from the photovoltaic module transmitted to the PC via the serial port using a PIC16F877A microcontroller. This microcontroller undertakes signal processing and control of the power interface for the chopper, employing a MOSFET power transistor. The outcomes obtained during the implementation underscore the necessity for the fuzzy controller in optimizing the overall system performance.

Published: November 2024

the constantly increasing global energy need and the polluting nature of fossil energies have increased the interest in the development of renewable energies. Among them, photovoltaic energy. The function of a photovoltaic (PV) system is to ensure the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy and the conditioning of this energy in order to adapt it to various needs. The performance of a PV system depends essentially on the quality of the conditioning of the energy, which allows the optimal transfer of the energy of the PV generator, and the management of the energy produced to meet energy needs by incorporating of converters. In this article, we present an intelligent approach to improve and optimize the performance of a photovoltaic system, by the fuzzy MPPT control. Our system consists of a photovoltaic panel, a Boost-type DC-DC converter con-sidered as an adaptation stage between the PV and the load. The IC technique was compared with FLC to evaluate the best and most accurate controller for MPPT. The results suggest that the use of FLC could improve the MPPT and increase the sTableility of the PV system. System modeling and simulation performed with Matlab/Simulink.
Analysis of FGM-type porous sandwich plates subjected to free vibration using Student Order Theory
Authors: Bouchafa Ali , Slimane Merdaci , Mostefa Adda Hadj , Elamine Dahamni Mohamed , Boudir Ibrahim , Behilil Walid
Published: November 2024

This research adopts a high-order shear deformation theory to explore the free vibration characteristics of square porous sandwich plates constructed from functionally graded materials (FGMs). This theory effectively addresses shear deformation effects without necessitating a shear correction factor. The material properties of the FGMs change continuously throughout the plate's thickness, following a power-law distribution (P-FGM) based on the volume fractions of the component materials. The outer layers are metal, while a uniform ceramic layer constitutes the core. The governing equations are derived from the principle of virtual displacements. This study examines three different porosity distributions. By utilizing Hamilton's principle, the equations of motion were formulated. The numerical analysis demonstrates how the distribution of materials, geometry, and porosity affect the free vibration responses of FGM sandwich plates. The validity of the present theory is studied by comparing certain results obtained with other results published in the literature.

Published: November 2024

This paper focuses on the static analysis, free vibration, and buckling validation of Reissner–Mindlin plates using a newly developed quadrilateral finite element, termed FNSBP, which is based on the strain approach. The proposed element is equipped with three essential external degrees of freedom at each of its four corner nodes. The displacement field is formulated using assumed strain functions that inherently satisfy the compatibility equations. This new element was developed to improve upon the previously introduced SBRP strain-based rectangular plate element. The effectiveness and robustness of the FNSBP element are evaluated through various numerical examples involving both thick and thin plates of different geometries. Its performance is benchmarked against displacement-based elements from the literature and analytical solutions, demonstrating superior accuracy and convergence in many cases. The results indicate that the FNSBP element provides significant improvements in computational efficiency and accuracy, especially for complex plate configurations under different loading and boundary conditions, validating its applicability in structural analysis.

Published: November 2024

A erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St. Hil.) é a espécie florestal não-madeireira mais cultivada na região Sul do Brasil. O uso de reguladores vegetais pode melhorar o desenvolvimento inicial de espécies florestais. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da aplicação de reguladores de crescimento vegetal, associados ou não à fertilização mineral de liberação controlada, sobre o desenvolvimento de mudas de erva-mate de procedência seminal. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial 2×6, sendo dois tratamentos de fertilização do substrato (sem e com adubação) e seis doses de um regulador de crescimento vegetal (composto de auxinas, citocininas e giberelinas), aplicadas mensalmente via pulverizações foliares. Realizaram-se avaliações mensais de crescimento (altura da parte aérea e diâmetro do coleto). Aos 120 dias após o transplantio, as mudas foram colhidas e determinaram-se a produção de massa fresca e seca de parte aérea e raízes, o volume de raízes frescas e o índice de qualidade de Dickson. A adubação do substrato de cultivo com fertilizante de liberação controlada foi essencial para o desenvolvimento das mudas de erva-mate. Por outro lado, as pulverizações foliares mensais com o regulador de crescimento vegetal não afetaram significativamente o crescimento e a produção de biomassa de parte aérea e raízes, nem a qualidade das mudas de erva-mate de procedência seminal.

Published: November 2024

O desenvolvimento da tecnologia nas últimas décadas tem proporcionado a análise de sistemas de construção cada vez mais avançados permitindo a introdução de novos materiais estruturais. A aplicação do aço inoxidável tem ocorrido em cobertura de edificações observando-se que, apesar do alto custo desse material, algumas vantagens justificam sua utilização, podendo-se citar sua elevada resistência à corrosão, durabilidade, continuidade do efeito estético ao longo do tempo, possibilidade de diversos acabamentos superficiais que esse material pode receber e necessidade de menos operações de manutenção. As treliças são elementos estruturais, em geral de aço, capazes de vencer grandes vãos com menor gasto efetivo de material. Nesse contexto, o objetivo dessa pesquisa é estudar a viabilidade da aplicação estrutural de treliça formada por perfis de aço inoxidável. Justifica-se a pesquisa por se encontrarem poucos estudos relacionados ao uso do aço inoxidável como elemento estrutural. Para cumprir o objetivo, propõe-se uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o elemento estrutural treliçado, incluindo normas, especificações técnicas e estudos realizados nessa área para saber quais são os tipos de perfis de aço inoxidável encontrados no mercado e qual o mais indicado para a situação em questão, seguida de uma simulação do comportamento estrutural de treliças que suportam a cobertura de edificações cobertas por telhas de aço inoxidável do tipo P304 A/B (Aperam), supondo-se que as treliças sejam de estrutural comum e depois de aço inoxidável. Para o projeto/desenho em três dimensões e modelagem da treliça são utilizados os programas computacionais AutoCAD® e Sketchup®, enquanto, para a análise estrutural é utilizado o programa computacional SAP2000®, que aplica elementos finitos para modelagem, análise e dimensionamento de qualquer tipo de estrutura. Os resultados da pesquisa são analisados e permitem um comparativo dos valores máximos dos esforços solicitantes do aço estrutural comum e do aço inoxidável, verificando-se que a resposta estrutural dos dois materiais é semelhante e é viável a construção de treliças de aço inoxidável.

Natural resource conversion for sustainable development
Authors: van Krevel Charan
Published: November 2024

Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This dissertation examines how natural resources (natural capital) can be used to meet the needs of both present and future generations. Sustainable development is achieved when returns from natural resource extraction enhance the productive capabilities of future economies. This is successful once natural capital is sufficiently converted to human and manufactured capital. Four empirical studies show that (i) countries rich in natural capital develop least sustainably. This increases the gap between rich and poor in the future. (ii) Natural resource extraction accelerates sustainable development, slowly reducing unsustainable development. (iii) Investment in human capital is most useful for both current and future generations: it has the highest conversion factor. (iv) The biggest obstacles to natural capital conversion are: politics (e.g., corruption), unbalanced commodity exports (Dutch disease), and inadequate commodity taxes. (v) Governments spend resource taxes sufficiently invest in projects that contribute to sustainable development. All in all, unsustainable development comes not from apathy or aversion to sustainable development, but from systematic institutional and economics factors.

Recently, it has been observed that the tourism industry is undergoing a fundamental change due to the rapid development of virtual tour technologies, especially artificial intelligence. This paper therefore aims to provide an overview of this new development from the early 2000s to the current environment in global tourism. We present, in a historical context, the main developments and applications of virtual tours and AI through a systematic review of literature, industry reports and empirical data from different sectors of the tourism industry. Our findings suggest that the adoption of the technologies under review, enhanced by data fusion, has significantly reshaped the way tourism experiences are conceptualized, delivered, and consumed. Data fusion combines information from multiple sources, enabling richer insights and a more comprehensive understanding of traveller behaviours and preferences. While virtual tours have emerged as a powerful tool for destination marketing, cultural preservation, and accessibility, AI, combined with data fusion, has also transformed the landscape by enabling more personalized travel planning, responsive customer service, and data-driven decision-making. This integration allows tourism providers to create seamless and engaging experiences tailored to individual needs, making tourism more accessible and efficient. In each case, these innovations have raised important questions about authenticity, sustainability, and the future of traditional tourism business models. We will present a critical comparison of virtual and physical tourism experiences in different regions and market segments, providing insights into the interplay of technological innovation, economic imperatives, and socio-cultural dynamics in the digital age. We conclude by reflecting on the implications for post-pandemic recovery, responsible tourism and global cultural exchange through virtual tours and AI. The findings of the study add to the growing body of knowledge on the digitalization of tourism and provide useful insights for practitioners, policy makers and researchers interested in the rapidly changing landscape of this industry.

Published: November 2024

El uso de colorantes naturales para teñir fibras proteicas, como el hilo de alpaca, refleja un compromiso genuino con la protección del medio ambiente. Esta práctica es una opción ecológica y sostenible en la industria textil. Sin embargo, la estabilidad del color es un desafío en el teñido natural debido a la falta de un proceso estandarizado de extracción del colorante y la aplicación del teñido en un sustrato textil. La investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar los efectos del teñido con la semilla de achiote (Bixa Orellana) en la solidez del color al lavado, frote y exposición a la luz en hilos de alpaca. Se utilizó un enfoque experimental cuantitativo con un diseño factorial 2^4 y se realizaron dos réplicas. Los cuatro factores clave fueron la relación planta/sustrato (A), la concentración de mordiente (B), la temperatura (C) y el tiempo (D). Los resultados revelaron que la combinación de dos factores, como la relación planta/sustrato y la temperatura (AC), tiene un impacto significativo en la resistencia del color al lavado. De manera similar, la interacción entre la concentración de mordiente y la temperatura (BC), así como la relación planta/sustrato y el tiempo (AD), afecta significativamente la resistencia del color a la luz. Además, la interacción de tres factores, ABC, tiene un efecto sustancial en la resistencia del color al frote y la interacción entre BCD también tiene un efecto significativo en la resistencia del color a la luz. En conclusión, la relación planta/sustrato (A) tiene un efecto significativo en la resistencia del color en las tres variables. Las interacciones entre los factores mencionados anteriormente tienen un impacto sustancial en la resistencia del color al lavado y a la luz, respectivamente, ya que el p-valor obtenido es menor a 0.05 de significancia. Esto sugiere que, con un proceso estandarizado, es posible teñir la fibra de alpaca con semilla de achiote de manera efectiva.
Centering reward and representation for domestic workers in the care economy
Authors:   International Labour Organization,
Published: November 2024

In June 2024, the ILO’s Member States, employers’ and workers’ organizations adopted the Resolution concerning decent work and the care economy, which, for the first time, demonstrated tripartite and international adoption of the 5R framework, to reduce, recognize and redistribute unpaid care work, while rewarding and ensuring the representation of paid care workers. While targeting the first three Rs is crucial, omission of the last two will prevent the achievement of gender equality and decent work for all. Centring reward and representation for domestic workers within this framework is the key to addressing labour market shortages, improving working conditions and reaching critical gender equality targets.

Published: November 2024

Este trabalho investiga a (i)legitimidade dos padrões estéticos aplicados no ambiente forense brasileiro, com foco nas implicações dessas normas para o exercício da advocacia feminina. O estudo explora a tensão entre a manutenção do decoro e da formalidade, frequentemente justificadas para garantir a dignidade do Judiciário, e os impactos negativos que essas imposições têm sobre a liberdade de expressão e a igualdade de gênero, especialmente no que tange às advogadas em situações de vulnerabilidade. A pesquisa adota uma abordagem crítica, analisando como a imposição de um código de vestimenta eurocêntrico no Judiciário perpetua hierarquias de poder e reforça estereótipos de gênero e classe. Com base em relatos de discriminação e constrangimento sofridos por advogadas, o estudo conclui que há uma necessidade urgente de reformulação das normas estéticas forenses, de forma a respeitar a diversidade cultural e assegurar o pleno exercício da advocacia por todas as profissionais, sem comprometer a liberdade de expressão e a dignidade humana.

The mathematical model of pollutants diffusion in the air environment of industrial premises is considered, which is based on the classical model of continuous medium on the basis of the system of Navier-Stokes equations using the standard k - ε turbulence model, which takes into account the degree of air flow vortexing in the room. The developed mathematical model of heat and mass transfer of pollutants in the room, unlike existing models, allows to take into account the movement of a person and to estimate the concentration fields in different rooms in the building. The mathematical model is implemented on a computer in the problem-oriented environment SolidWorks 2020. The results of experimental studies and computational experiment on the spread of butyl acetate in the air environment of the room are presented. The received values of concentrations of butyl acetate satisfactorily agree with each other. Results of researches confirm possibility of use of the developed mathematical model in the software environment SolidWorks 2020 for carrying out computational experiments.

Water is an essential resource used by all organisms on earth. Recently, however, contamination of water by heavy metal ions, such as Fe(III), from human activities has become more common. In addition to deterioration of colour, odour and taste, consumption of such water has a negative impact on public health: liver, pancreas, heart diseases develop, and metabolism is disturbed. For this reason, purification of water from Fe (III) ions is an urgent task, which is solved, among other things, by sorbing it from aqueous media with bentonite-like clays and derivatives based on them. Earlier we studied the material (chemical, mineralogical) composition of bentonite-like clay of Podgornoye-3 site of Nikolskoye deposit of Voronezh region and gave a favourable assessment for the use of this clay as an adsorbent for water purification. This paper presents the results of the study of Fe (III) adsorption from aqueous solutions by three different products obtained by acid treatment of bentonite-like clay. The influence of various factors (duration of adsorption, pH of the medium in which the process took place, initial concentrations of adsorbent and sorbate, concentration of sulphuric acid with which the clay was treated) on the adsorption efficiency was studied in the experiments. It was determined by estimating the absolute adsorption i.e. the ratio of adsorbed Fe (III) to the mass of adsorbent and as relative i.e. the ratio of adsorbed Fe (III) to the initial amount of Fe (III) in per cent. It was found that adsorption efficiency increases with increase in contact duration, increase in pH (between 1.5 and 4), increase in adsorbent:sorbate ratio.
IMPROVING THE ALGORITHM FOR EXACT ESTIMATION OF MODULAR LINEAR REGRESSIONS USING THE LEAST ABSOLUTE DEVIATIONS

This article is devoted to the study of the algorithm for exact estimation of modular linear regression models using the least absolute deviations. Such models contain a mathematical operation module and are linear in factors, but nonlinear in parameters, regressions. Previously, a special algorithm was developed to exact estimate them using the least absolute deviations. Its essence is that by manually going through all possible combinations of absolute values signs and solving a mixed integer 0-1 linear programming problem for each case, the best model in terms of the sum of absolute residuals is selected. To implement this algorithm, the MODULIR-1 software package was previously developed. The disadvantage of the algorithm is that, in total, quite a lot of time is spent on its implementation. This paper proposes a new and improved algorithm for exact estimation of modular regressions. In it, instead of solving a series of mixed integer 0-1 linear programming problems, you only need to solve one single problem. The developed algorithm is implemented in the new version of the MODULIR-1 program. To compare the effectiveness of the old and new algorithms using the example of chemical data processing, computational experiments were carried out. In six out of seven cases, the new algorithm turned out to be more effective than the existing one. When constructing the most computationally complex modular regression, the estimation time decreased by 74.3%. The modular regression constructed as a result of the experiments based on the sum of absolute residuals turned out to be approximately 2.3 times better than the classical linear regression. At the same time, the number of zero residues in modular regression also turned out to be greater.

Biodiesel was synthesized from used vegetable oils collected from local restaurants in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria, using a base-catalyzed transesterification process with methanol and potassium methoxide as the catalyst. The physicochemical properties of the produced biodiesel, such as density, kinematic viscosity, flash point, pour point, cetane number, and calorific value, were evaluated and compared against conventional diesel fuels and biodiesel from other sources like Jatropha, Neem, and Castor oils. Gas chromatography (GC) was used to analyze the fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) composition, identifying methyl oleate, methyl linoleate, methyl palmitate, and methyl stearate as the primary components. The produced biodiesel exhibited favourable properties, including a cetane number and flash point within recommended ASTM standards, indicating efficient ignition and safe storage characteristics. Additionally, the calorific value and kinematic viscosity of the biodiesel were found to be comparable to conventional diesel, making it a viable blend for diesel engine applications.

Advancements in technology have led to virtual mentoring complementing or replacing face-to-face mentoring, but the perceived effectiveness of each by early-career biology teachers remains understudied. This study investigated the comparative effectiveness of on-site and virtual mentoring modes as perceived by early-career biology teachers. Three research questions and two null hypotheses were answered and tested, respectively. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The study involved 80 early-career biology teachers with less than five years of teaching experience, divided into on-site (n=40) and virtual (n=40) mentoring groups. Data was collected through a validated questionnaire having a reliability coefficient of 0.81. Percentages, means, standard deviations, and t-tests were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that on-site mentoring was perceived to significantly improved content knowledge, instructional strategies, and professional rapport. In contrast, virtual mentoring fostered reflective practice and provided extensive resource access but faced challenges such as scheduling conflicts and technological barriers. Significant differences in perceived effectiveness and challenges between the two modes of mentoring led to the rejection of both null hypotheses. On-site mentoring was perceived as more effective due to its immediate, hands-on support, while virtual mentoring offered valuable flexibility and resource access despite its challenges. A blended mentoring approach was recommended to combine the strengths of both modes for early-career biology teachers.

Published: November 2024

This paper examines the shape and effectiveness of Kassandros’ policy towards and in Epeiros after he gained power in Macedonia. It considers the difficult family history between the Antipatrids and the Aiakids Kassandros inherited, and how this and broader strategic considerations shaped his approach to securing Macedonia’s western frontiers. It examines the limited evidence for the nature of Macedonian administration in Epeiros during the period of direct control between 317 and 312, and how this changed in subsequent years. Finally, it considers the broader implications for Kassandros’ reign and Epeiros’ history of Kassandros’ Epeirote policies and actions.
