Effect of metallic coatings on infiltration of AK12 alloy into porous carbon graphite frame under non-autoclave impregnation conditions
Authors: Miroshkin N.Yu. , Gulevsky V.A. , Tsurikhin S.N. , Kidalov N.A.
Published: August 2022

The effect of copper and nickel coatings applied on the carbon graphite framework, as well as on the surface of the open pores of carbon graphite before impregnation by AK12 alloy, in order to obtain composite material carbon graphite—aluminum by non-autoclave technology is studied. It is shown that copper and nickel coatings increase filling of open pores by matrix alloy, which is indicated by increase of physical and mechanical properties and density of composite material after impregnation. It is found that the use of nickel electrochemical coating during impregnation resulted in the formation of a transition zone enriched by nickel at the interface, its concentration sharply decreasing from the periphery to the centre of the pore. When using copper coating, the copper concentration decreases away from the interface, but is traceable across the entire filled cross-sectional area of the metal in the pore, which can be explained by the different diffusion rates of copper and nickel into aluminium. It is shown that the compression strength of specimens with copper coating increased by 17, 92 and 1 10 % at impregnation temperatures of 700, 750 and 850 °C, and of specimens with nickel coating by 14, 75 and 98 % relative to uncoated carbon graphite AG-1500, which is caused by an increase in the metal component in the composition of the composite material.

Zhao Liewen’s Gardening Practices and Activities as Reflected in His Diary Nengjingju Riji – A Secondary Publication
Authors: Li Xiao , Yin Shuaike
Published: August 2022

Zhao Liewen, a late-Qing-dynasty scholar, wrote more than a million characters in his diary titled Nengjingju Riji. Through analysis of Zhao’s text, the author of this paper reconstructs the daily life in the Tranquil Garden (Jing Pu) and brings light to the site selection, house construction, garden planning, as well as the‘elegant gatherings’of literati that took place in the garden. More specifically, in the 7th and 8th lunar months of 1865, the 4th reign year of Emperor Tongzhi, Zhao traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. After considering the prices of houses and fengshui of the sites in different cities, he finally chose a place in Jiuwanwei, Changshu. As his family was growing, the house and garden became more clearly divided according to their functions. Especially, the library space of Tiangfanglou, and the garden area along the Tranquil Stream (Jing Xi) were rebuilt on several occasions. Zhao often invited relatives and friends to gather here. The creative work inspired by his life at the Tranquil Garden was modeled after the Wangchuan poetry collection of Tang poets and born from the gatherings held in the garden between 1876 and 1877, the 3rd and 4th reign years of Emperor Guangxu (r. 1875‒1908).
Global English versus local language during a sojourn abroad: A narrative study
Authors: Szczepaniak-Kozak Anna , Wąsikiewicz-Firlej Emilia , Lankiewicz Hadrian
Published: August 2022

This paper investigates the interplay between language and intercultural communication with a special focus on the importance of working knowledge of foreign languages other than English for a satisfactory experience during longer sojourns abroad. Its authors present a revised understanding of the role of lingua franca English and a local language (here Polish) in intercultural relationships, especially the crucial influence of local languages on conversational control and social integration while in a foreign land. Our study has shown that lingua franca English is insufficient to successfully function abroad, and individuals deciding to resettle need to invest in learning a local language which, in the longer perspective, emerges as a medium for in-depth intercultural communication pertaining to self-positioning, relation building and meaning-making of the new semiotic budget.
The Animal That Laughs at Itself
Authors: Burton James
Published: August 2022

A trio of themes recur across prominent Western theories of laughter: violence, the human/nonhuman, and error. The paper traces this trio through a series of frequently cited paradigms for understanding laughter, including superiority, incongruity and relief theories, Henri Bergson’s theory of laughter and V. S. Ramachandran’s false alarm theory; and argues that it reflects a shared, if partially submerged concern with the instability and demise of a particular figure of the human, one that is circumscribed by the culturally specific (if globally influential) values of Eurocentric/Western thought, largely corresponding to Sylvia Wynter’s ‘Man’. This suggests that laughter has an ambiguous immanent potential for both undermining and/or reasserting, de- and/or restabilising the illusion of Man’s universalizing drive to identify itself with the human per se.
Incomplete and Self-Dismantling Structures
Authors: Castore Antonio
Published: August 2022

The present essay engages with the short story ‘The Burrow’, written by Franz Kafka between 1923 and 1924, a few months before his death. The ambiguity of the original title, ‘Der Bau’, which defies translation by pointing at the same time at a construction and an excavation work, anticipates the multi-layered image of the burrow itself. While both nature and function of the burrow are hard to pinpoint (is it a dwelling, a shelter, a fortress, a labyrinth, a ruin?), the initially reported success of its construction is revealed as illusory, thus prompting the ongoing first-person narration of the incessant builder’s work. Similarly unsuccessful is any attempt of the reader to attain metaphorical closure. In the light of other impossible, i.e., unfinished, bound-to-fail, ruinous, or self-dismantling structures portrayed by Kafka, as well as on the background of coeval texts by Paul Valéry and Georg Simmel, the essay investigates the wide and deep significance of the burrow’s countering the classical ideal of architectural wholeness.
Inbuilt Errans
Authors: Xiang Zairong
Published: August 2022

‘Inbuilterrans’ points to the core of the concept, namely the semantic entanglement of errantry and error. Errans as the erroneous wandering or the drifting error complicates the celebration of movement, fluidity, flexibility, or even ‘queering’. The rigid or stubborn aspect oferrans, its erroneousness on the other hand not only accompanies but also enables its errancy. The ‘rigidity’ (as rigidity in flux) requires scare quotes in order to mark the ways in which these qualities might collapse when a question of ‘to whom?’ is posed. Through an eclectic errantry through a personal anecdote, a meme video, an ethnographic note, as well as medical history and queer theory, this text theorizes, with the help of the ‘inbuild errans’ of the human body, that is, its orifices, a ‘radical indifference’ that points to an unplanned, ambiguous, and weak while at the same time strategic, rigid, and powerful form of resistance.
Errant Counterpublics
Authors: Majewska Ewa
Published: August 2022

The essay discusses the notion of counterpublics in the context of the creation of the Solidarność labour union in Poland in 1980. The proposed reading of these events not only offers a feminist recontextualization against the grain of Western liberal triumphalism, but furthermore explores the implications of postcolonial thought for the analysis of the recent history of a Central European country as well as for the discussion concerning the public spheres of the excluded and marginalized. The thought of Eduard Glissant, as well as that of Gloria Anzaldua and Gayatri Spivak, allows for a rethinking of these events and theories in a global perspective, thus facilitating a universalizing practice based on a particular, localized experience.

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT

Power flow analysis is important in planning in order to get a good electric power system. In planning the electrical system for the Tujuh Bukit Power System project with a 20kV system network located in Banyuwangi, East Java, a power flow simulation for a single line diagram will be carried out using the ETAP 12.6 software with the Newton Raphson method. The simulation results which consist of 22 buses show a voltage drop on the 0.4kV_ADR MCC Busbar2 bus and 0.4kV_50-MCC-01 Busbar2 bus. As a system improvement, the 0.4kV_ADR MCC Busbar2 bus will be installed with a 500 kVar capacitor bank to raise the voltage profile from 376.3 V to 385.56 V. While on the 0.4kV_50-MCC-01 Busbar2 bus, a 100 kVar capacitor bank is required to increase the voltage from 382.2 V to 384.16 V. After the repair, the power supplied to the system is 3589.6 kVA with a power factor of 90.5% lagging. As well as the reduction in the total value of system power losses from 58.1 kW + 242.2 kVar to 49.3 kW + 200.8 kVar.

Zur Bestimmung der Langzeit-Mittelungspegel für hochliegende Schallquellen/For determining the long-term average level for high-lying sound sources
Authors: Probst Wolfgang
Published: August 2022

Im Heft 2/2022 dieser Zeitschrift ist in einem Beitrag [1] zur Revision der Norm ISO 9613-2 [2] im Abschnitt 5 ein Verfahren erläutert worden, wie die meteorologische Korrektur Cmet durch Einbeziehung der lokalen Windklimatologie präzisiert werden kann. Aufgrund der langjährigen Erfahrung mit der Anwendung der Norm auch bei hochliegenden Quellen – Stichwort Windenergieanlagen – und der darauf beruhenden Neuformulierung zur Erweiterung des akzeptablen Quellen-Höhenbereichs ergab sich die Frage, ob die in ISO 9613-2:1996 genannte Abstandsabhängigkeit von Cmet zur Ermittlung von Langzeit-Mittelungspegeln auch für diese größeren Höhen zutrifft.
Diffraktoren für den Lärmschutz – Messung der akustischen Wirksamkeit/Diffractors for Noise Abatement – Measurements of acoustical effectiveness
Authors: Bartolomaeus Wolfram , Strigari Fabio
Published: August 2022

Der Diffraktionseffekt lässt sich als innovative Lärmschutzlösung u. a. für Straßenverkehrslärm nutzen. Die akustische Wirksamkeit dreier Diffraktor-Typen (Boden-, Wand- und Aufsatz-Diffraktor) wurde mittels kontrollierter und statistischer Vorbeifahrtmessungen ermittelt. Die Messungen weisen auf eine signifikante akustische Wirksamkeit der bisher untersuchten Diffraktoren hin. Die Minderungswirkung ist für ferne Vorbeifahrten i. A. geringer als bei nahen Vorbeifahrten. Für den Diffraktor am Boden beläuft sich die erreichbare Pegelminderung auf etwa 2 dB. Für Lkw fällt der Minderungseffekt schwächer aus als für Pkw. Der Beugungseffekt ist auch in den Messergebnissen der kontrollierten Vorbeifahrt für den Wand-Diffraktor deutlich erkennbar: Die Kombination aus niedriger Lärmschutzwand und aufgesetztem Diffraktor zeigt eine wesentlich höhere akustische Wirksamkeit als die Referenz-Lärmschutzwand gleicher Höhe. Eine Möglichkeit für die Übertragung der durch Messungen bestimmten Impedanz des Diffraktors auf Schalldruckpegel in größeren Entfernungen von der Straße wurde durch Simulation des Schallfeldes in Form einer Summe von Kugelwellenpotenzialen erreicht. Wie hiermit in einem Prognosemodell, z. B. der ISO 9613-2, Berechnungen durchgeführt werden können, ist noch offen.

Ülkelerin temel sorunlarından birisi olan enerji açığının kapatılması için nükleer güç santralleri son yıllarda oldukça sık gündemde yer almaktadır. Teknolojisi yeterli olan ülkeler, nükleer güç santrallerinin sayısını çoğaltma yoluna giderek artan enerji ihtiyacını ucuz yollarla karşılamaya çalışmaktadırlar. Özellikle ülkemiz gibi gelişmekte olan ülkelerde enerji ithalatından kaynaklanan cari açığın kapatılması için nükleer güç santrallerinin kurularak bunların sayılarının arttırılması ve ayrıca bir opsiyon olarak turizm gelirlerinin de arttırılması çalışmalarına önem verilmektedir. Bununla birlikte genellikle denize kıyısı olan yerlerde yada ırmak kenarlarında kurulan bu güç santrallerinden salınan termal suların ekosistemdeki canlılara ve çevreye etkileri önemli bir konudur. Burada enerjinin elde edilmesi bir zorunluluk olduğu kadar nükleer santrallerin çevreye ve turizme yaptığı etkilerin anlaşılması da önemlidir. Ömrü yaklaşık 50-60 yıl civarında olan nükleer güç santrallerinin termal atık sularının deniz ve ırmak ekosistemine ve küresel iklim değişikliğine etkisi ile ilgili çalışmalar yapılmakla birlikte çoğaltılmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, nükleer güç santrallerinden elde edilen enerjinin yan etkilerinin önemi vurgulanarak bunların çevreye ve su ekosistemine verebileceği zararlar göz ününe alınmış, fayda/zarar ilişkisi gözetilerek sistematik bir inceleme yapılmıştır.

Published: August 2022

The genus Adenomera Steindachner, 1867 currently comprises 29 nominal species, some of which are suggested to be cryptic species complexes. The present study was carried out with specimens of the “thomei” clade that encompasses three taxa distributed in the Atlantic Forest biome: Adenomera thomei Almeida et Angulo, 2006, Adenomera sp. L., and Adenomera sp. M. We used classical cytogenetics to describe the diploid number and karyomorphology of these three species collected in two different locations in the state of Bahia, Brazil. Our results revealed the diploid number 2n = 24 (FN = 34) with two pairs of metacentric chromosomes (pairs 1 and 5), three pairs of submetacentric chromosomes (pairs 2, 3, and 4), and seven pairs of telocentric chromosomes (pairs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12). Further morphological, bioacoustic, and cytogenetic data (C-banding and AgNor) are needed to better delineate the lineages within the “thomei” clade.

Processing edible insects into powders: a review of available processes and potential microbial inactivation methods
Authors: Yan X. , Laurent S. , Federighi M. , Boué G. , Jury V.
Published: August 2022

In Europe, people are increasingly interested in edible insects to meet the growing demand for food diversity and protein supply, and bring expected nutritional and environmental benefits. Among all insect-based foods, insect powder is one of the most promising choices, which presents added advantages in the ability of mixing with versatile ingredients, long shelf-life and higher consumer acceptance (non-recognisable form). As a novel protein source, insects require the well-designed manufacturing process to produce high quality insect powder, while guaranteeing food safety of the final product. This review provides a brief overview of the current consumption patterns and general processing steps of insect powders. With regard to inactivating potential microbial hazards, traditional thermal treatment (e.g. boiling, blanching,) is still the predominant method in insect sector, which shows a desirable microbial reduction but may affects nutritional properties and organoleptic attributes. The use of food preservatives and fermentation have also been incorporated as means for eliminating pathogenic bacteria in some insect products. Recent years, a set of advanced or innovative technologies have been developed for inactivation of microorganisms in various foods while maintaining food quality, such as infrared heating, instant control pressure drop technology, high hydrostatic pressure, and cold plasma. However, except for the initial exploration of very few techniques in the laboratory, most novel technologies have not been attached much importance in insect sector. Eventually, this review highlights the lack of data on the impacts of different processing methods (both conventional and innovative, individual or in combination) for edible insects, encompassing the control of microbial activities, nutritional value, and sensory qualities.

Genie und Dämon
Authors: Gottwald Herwig
Published: August 2022

Stefan Zweigs Verfahren der „vergleichenden Typologie“ einzelner „heroischer Gestalten“ der Geistesgeschichte wird eingangs kurz erläutert. Hölderlin, Kleist und Nietzsche verkörpern dabei für Zweig den „Typus des vom Dämon hinabgerissenen Künstlers“, den er vor dem Hintergrund einer geistesgeschichtlich prekären Erneuerung des Genie-Paradigmas in der Moderne zu erfassen versucht, immer im Kontrast zur Gestalt Goethes. Vor dem Hintergrund zeitgenössischer Diskurse über den modernen poeta vates, das gefährdete Genie, die Verbindung zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn, Schöpfertum und Krankheit (von Cesare Lombroso über Thomas Mann bis zu Wilhelm Lange-Eichbaum und Gottfried Benn u.a.) werden Zweigs spezifische Deutungen des Lebens und Werks Hölderlins und Kleists dargestellt.

Authors: Chevrel Éric
Published: August 2022

Auf dem Passagierdampfer in der Schachnovelle gibt es zwar keine Künstlerfigur, doch die drei Partien zwischen dem ungebildeten Schachweltmeister Mirko Czentovic aus dem Banat und dem unbekannten Dr. B. aus Wien beschwören einen Gegensatz zwischen Stoff und Geist herauf, die an die künstlerische Gestaltung erinnern. So beherrscht Czentovic das Spiel vollständig nur bei dessen materieller Anwesenheit und kommt einem dabei als ein „unmenschlicher Schachautomat“ vor, während Dr. B.s Zugang zum Schachspiel durch die Vorstellungskraft bedingt ist, die er als geistige Widerstandsübung gegen Verhöre der Gestapo benutzt. Das Schachspiel erscheint in der Novelle in Bezug auf die Kunst als durchaus zwiespältig: Es wird mehrfach mit Musik und Literatur verglichen, doch seine potentielle Nähe zur rücksichtslosen Mechanik (Czentovic) und zur Obsession (Dr. B.s „Schachvergiftung“) lassen es auch als gefährliche Macht erscheinen, die an Zweigs Künstlerbiographien in Kampf mit dem Dämon erinnern mag.

Published: August 2022

The investigation of Corrosion inhibition behavior of synthesized amino acid-based Schiff base inhibitor [(E)-5-nitro-N1-((E)-3-phenylallylidene) benzene-1,2-diamine] was carried out. Its adsorption in two types of (5%) soil solutions was studied at room temperature, using potentiodynamic polarization and gravimetric techniques. The inhibition efficiency obtained at the optimum inhibitor concentration (300ppm), were 23% in acidic and 70% in neutral electrolyte. Results illustrated that the inhibitor worked well in less acidic environment in one of the soil solutions which was relatively acidic than the other. Experimental data of potentiodynamic study also indicated that the inhibitor was more inclined to adsorb on the anodic sites of the carbon steel sample, thus the inhibitor can be categorized as the anodic inhibitor due to suppression of more anodic reaction on the carbon steel sample.

Published: August 2022

UHPC (ultra-high performance concrete) is an excellent material applicable also for strengthening of existing structures. Recently published papers were focused mainly on the behaviour of strengthened slabs subjected to bending, in this paper, experiments on punching and on strengthening of columns are mentioned. Strengthening of bridge decks requires a special composition of UHPC with high fibre contents and with the ability of casting in the slope. The appropriate mix for UHPC was developed within the research project. The experience gained from the extensive experimental program resulted in development of rules for strengthening of existing structures using UHPC, which follow the European codes and Czech recommendations for design of structures made of UHPC.

Published: August 2022

Abstract Submarine hydrate mounds are important indicators of submarine methane seepages, hydrocarbon reservoirs, and seabed instability. In order to fully understand the formation of hydrate mounds, here, we review the study of hydrate mounds, in which the morphology, the
formation mechanism, as well as the research techniques are introduced. The formation mechanism of hydrate mounds can be classified into: (1) The sediment volume expands due to the formation and accumulation of shallow hydrates; (2) unconsolidated shallow sediment layers respond mechanically
to increasing pore pressure caused by shallow gas accumulation; (3) materials extrude from submarine layers driven by the over-pressure caused by shallow gas accumulation; and (4) the interaction of multiple factors. Most hydrate mounds occur in submarine gas hydrate occurrence areas. Active
hydrate mounds are circular or ellipse well-rounded shaped, with gas seepages and abundant organisms, whereas inactive hydrate mounds are rough or uneven irregular shaped, with low flux of fluid in the migration channel. Due to the limitation of long-term in-situ observation technology, the
existing observation method makes it possible to provide basic morphology features, stratigraphic structures, and fluid migration channels of the hydrate mound. Future research should be focused on the long-term in-situ monitoring technology, the formation mechanism of the hydrate mounds,
and the role of gas hydrates in the seafloor evolution. In addition, the features of hydrate mounds (e.g., gas chimneys and fluid migration conduits) and the relationship between hydrate mounds and pockmarks could be further studied to clarify the influence of methane release from hydrate
mounds on biogeochemical processes and the atmospheric carbon contents.

Published: August 2022

Abstract As an important green energy source for the future, deep-sea natural gas hydrate has attracted worldwide attention in recent years, and several trial exploitations have been carried out. Hydrates are prone to decomposition leading to terrain subsidence; hence, there
is an urgent need to monitor terrain change during the exploration. In this study, a monitoring device based on six-axis Micro-Electro-Mechanical System array is developed to monitor the terrain subsidence during production of gas hydrate. The liability of the device has been tested both by
lab experiments and a sea trial in the “Shenhu” area of the South China Sea with water-depth of 1,203 m. The device performed in-situ monitoring for 193 consecutive days; the deformation of the seafloor terrain has been successfully measured, and the seafloor topography has been
obtained and reconstructed, showing that the overall average uplift of the seafloor terrain is 0.82 cm, with a maximum uplift of 5.98 cm and a maximum subsidence of 3.21 cm. The result shows that the geological conditions in the “Shenhu” area are stable, which provide a reference
for the development of hydrates.

Discovery of novel inhibitors of ghrelin O-acyltransferase enzyme
Authors: Hosseini Faezeh Sadat , Ghassempour Alireza , Amanlou Massoud
Published: August 2022

Background and purpose:

Ghrelin is known as a hunger hormone and plays a pivotal role in appetite, food intake, energy balance, glucose metabolism, and insulin secretion, making it a potential target for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. The essential maturation step of ghrelin to activate the GHS-R1a is the octanoylation of the Ser3, which is catalyzed by the ghrelin O-acyltransferase enzyme (GOAT) enzyme. Therefore, the inhibition of GOAT may be useful for treating ghrelin-related diseases.

Experimental approach:

To discover the novel inhibitors against GOAT enzyme by a fast and accurate computational method, here, we tried to develop the homology model of GOAT. Subsequently, the generated model was stabilized by molecular dynamics simulation. The consecutive process of docking, pharmacophore mapping, and large-scale virtual screening were performed to find the potential hit compounds.

Findings / Results:

The homology model of the GOAT enzyme was generated and the quality of 3D structures was increased to the highest level of > 99.8% of residue in allowed regions. The model was inserted into the lipid bilayer and was stabilized by molecular dynamics simulation in 200 ns. The sequential process of pharmacophore-based virtual screening led to the introduction of three compounds including ethaverine, kaempferitrin, and reglitazar as optimal candidates for GOAT inhibition.

Conclusion and implications:

The results of this study may provide a starting point for further investigation for drug design in the case of GOAT inhibitors and help pave the way for clinical targeting of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Published: August 2022

Background:

Mental illnesses are becoming a major health issue across the world. The availability of inpatient facilities for mentally ill patients is very much limited in developing countries such as India.

Aim:

This study was aimed to explore the pattern of psychiatric admissions at a general hospital psychiatry unit (GHPU) in South India.

Methodology:

The study was conducted at a multispecialty tertiary care hospital in South India. A retrospective, chart-based study design was adopted to achieve the objectives. All inpatient case records available from the department of psychiatry, the medical records department, and the electronic hospital information system of the institute were reviewed between April 2006 and March 2016.

Results:

A total of 3082 patients were admitted as psychiatry inpatients during the 10-year study period, representing an average of 308.2 admissions per calendar year. The majority of inpatients were male (n = 1824; 59.2%). Concerning diagnostic categories, mood disorders were accounted for 33.6% of admissions, followed by psychotic disorders (26.4%) and substance use disorders (19.3%), respectively. The median length of hospital stay was 14 days (range 0–163 days). A statistically significant seasonality pattern was noticed for mood disorders (December to February) and anxiety and neurotic disorders (August to October).

Conclusion:

It is obvious that treatment-seeking attitude among individuals with mental illnesses is increasing and the awareness regarding treatment aspects is also increasing among the general public. Hence, there is a need to improve the existing resources to facilitate intensive management for better treatment outcomes and this, in turn, will enhance the quality of life of mentally ill individuals.

Mental health difficulties have been found to be associated with internet addiction, which makes it a multifaceted problem. The current study aimed to examine the relationship between internet addiction and affective states (depression, anxiety, and stress).

Material and Methods:

The study sample consisted of 731 individuals (403 males and 328 females) ranging in age from 18 to 25 years. We used an observational survey design to study participants with an internet addiction test and depression, anxiety, and stress scale.

Results:

The mean age ± standard deviation of the sample was 22.58 ± 2.80 years. Stress and depression were found to play a major role in internet addiction in the regression analysis.

Conclusions:

The study supports the association between internet use and stress and depression. The findings imply the need for early identification and intervention of affective states in the context of unhealthy internet use.
Serotonin Toxicity in Older People
Authors: McGuire J. Michael , Werremeyer Amy
Published: August 2022

Serotonin toxicity, sometimes referred to as serotonin syndrome, results in a triad of clinical features that include autonomic signs, neuromuscular changes, and altered mental status, which may range from mild symptoms to fatal toxicity. As a result, serotonin toxicity is best thought of as a spectrum of symptoms rather than as a syndrome. Older patients may be at higher risk for serotonin toxicity because of the presence of drug-drug interactions as well as pharmacokinetic changes that occur with aging.
