Regime de proteção de dados pessoais sensíveis e transparência pública: institutos em aparente conflito
Authors: Nery Vilson Pedro
Published: February 2022

O objetivo do artigo é analisar em que medida a transparência das ações públicas permite o controle social e o governo aberto, de modo que as informações gerais produzidas pela administração pública fiquem disponibilizadas, inclusive em dados abertos, para consulta pública na Internet, bem como identificar se há algum conflito aparente de normas e se o sistema capitalista usa as amarras burocráticas a seu favor.  O método utilizado é o hipotético-dedutivo com fulcro em pesquisa bibliográfica. Da pesquisa se conclui que, na prática, empresas estão utilizando a Lei de Acesso à Informação para implantar modelos de negócios, baseado nas informações produzidas e custeadas pelo Estado. A proteção de dados é outro reforço capitalista, já que a LGPD pode justificar a sonegação de informações essenciais à população, e a perpetuação do sigilo de atividades de instituições bancárias e agências de inteligência.

Endophytic fungi, microfungi that internally infect living plant tissues, are reported to have the ability to synthesize many enzymes, plant growth hormones and pharmaceutically active compounds similar to those in their hosted plants. This has opened a potential path of using endophytic fungi as a bioreactor for mass production of bioactive compounds at a lower cost. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a robust procedure for the isolation and identification of potential fungal strains that are capable of producing desired biological compounds. In this study, we reported an effective procedure for surface sterilization of 3 types of tissue samples (root, shoot and leaf) of 2 herbaceous plants (Catharanthus roseus and Scutallaria barbata) using commercial bleach (5% NaOCl), isolation of endophytic fungi from the sterilized samples and identification of isolated fungal strains by ITS sequencing analysis. A total of 48 endophytic fungi were successfully isolated from plant samples collected from Dan Phuong (Ha Noi), Phu Dien (Ha Noi) and Hai Duong city (Hai Duong). Based on results of morphological observation and ITS sequencing analysis, 48 endophytic fungi were classified to one of the four species, including Clasdosporium colombiae, Cladosporium halotolerans, Corynespora cassiicola and Albifimbria terrestris. The potential of the isolated endophytic fungal species for the mass production of pharmacologically active compounds will be investigated in future studies.
A comparison of three variant calling pipelines using simulated data

Published: February 2022

Advances in next generation sequencing allow us to do DNA sequencing rapidly at a relatively low cost. Multiple bioinformatics methods have been developed to identify genomic variants from whole genome or whole exome sequencing data. The development of better variant calling methodologies is limited by the difficulty of assessing the accuracy and completeness of a new method. Normally, computational methods can be benchmarked using simulated data which allows us to generate as much data as desired and under controlled scenarios. In this study, we compared three variant calling pipelines: Samtools/VarScan, Samtools/Bcftools, and Picard/GATK using two simulated datasets. The result showed a significant difference between the three pipelines in two cases. In Chromosome 6 dataset, GATK and Bcftools pipelines detected more than 90% of variants. Meanwhile, only 82.19% of mutations were detected by VarScan. In NA12878 datasets, the result showed GATK pipeline was more sensitive than Bcftools and Varscan pipeline. All pipelines showed a high Positive Predictive Value. Moreover, by a measure of run time, VarScan was the highest pipeline but GATK has an option for multithreading which is a way to make a program run faster. Therefore, GATK is more effective than Bcftools and Varscan to variant calling with a lower coverage dataset.

Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the force production patterns of individual muscles surrounding the knee during running (RUN) and cutting (CUT) tasks.METHODS Thirteen women (24.2±3.5 yrs, 162.8±6.0 cm, 55.3±6.2 kg) performed a series of running and cutting tasks. Running and cutting motions were recorded using a motion capture system and ground reaction force (GRF) was recorded using a force plate. Three-dimensional knee angle, ground reaction force, and knee joint moment were calculated using Visual3D software. OpenSim musculoskeletal modeling software was used to calculate the force of individual muscles including the medial hamstring, biceps femoris long head, biceps femoris short head, rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, gastrocnemius medialis, and gastrocnemius lateralis. All data were analyzed for loading response (or weight acceptance), mid-stance, and final push-off periods, respectively and were compared between two tasks.RESULTS At loading response: external rotation angle, medial and vertical GRFs, and valgus moment for the CUT task were greater than those of the RUN task. Compared to the RUN task, the CUT task showed: 1) an increase in lateral hamstring muscle force at weight acceptance, 2) a decrease in hamstring muscle force and an increase in medial vastus muscle force at mid-stance, and 3) an increase in lateral gastrocnemius muscle force at final push-off.CONCLUSIONS Selective force production patterns of muscles surrounding the knee seem to offset the external load caused by the cutting motion. We anticipate that our results will provide basic data for future training programs designed to prevent noncontact knee injuries.

Cobalt, Iron & Cerium co-doped CoxFe0.02Ce0.02Ti0.96- xO2; x = 0.02, 0.03 & 0.04 mol % nanoparticles were fabricated by following sol-gel process. Characterization of synthesized samples
was carried out through X-ray diffraction, UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Transmission electron and Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and Electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Anatase phase of fabricated nanoparticles was estimated by XRD and further verified
by EDXS measurements. Using Debye Scherrer's formula the particle size of synthesize d nanoparticles calculated was 24.8 to 10.3 nm. With growing cobalt concentration (x) shifting of absorption edge towards region of higher wave length correspond to blue shift as noticed from UV –
Visible absorption spectra indicate the generation of energy sub states within forbidden gap and reduction in energy band gap from 2.57 eV to 1.69 eV. Structural formation of the synthesized nanoparticles was studied by FTIR spectroscopy which confirm that formed TiO2 nanoparticles
have stable anatase pahse. Photocatalytic degradation activity against congo red and methyl orange dyes was detected by visible light illumination. Observations showed that with rise in cobalt concentration (x) the photocatalytic activity rises which is ascribed to decreasing rate of
carrier recombination and increasing surface area of the fabricated nanoparticles.

Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) Parasitic infection is a hot issue for cattle management. There is variation of GI parasites effects in sex, age of cattle, drinking water condition, nutrition, and severity of infection. Studies on prevalence of GI parasites among cattle population in Dir Lower are lacking. A total of 40 farms were selected randomly in six tehsil namely Tehsil Adenzai, Tehsil Timergara, Tehsil Balambat, Tehsil Munda ,Tehsil Lalqala, Tehsil Khall. Freshly cattle fecal samples were collected randomly from the selected farms during March 2018 till December 2018. Out of 314 buffaloes and cattle examined 58.59% (184/314) were positive for eggs, cyst/oocyst of one or more species of GI Parasites. The prevalence of parasitic infection was higher in Buffaloes 63.55% (75/118) as compared to Cow 55.61% (109/196) but the difference was not significant (p>0.05) Entamoeba,spp, Moniezia spp, Haemonchus spp and Coccidian spp were found in this study. The non-treated animals indicated the highest percentage of infection in cow 57.71% (101/175) and buffalo 68.13% (62/91).GI parasite prevalence in female animal were higher female cow 62.58% (87/139) and female buffalo 77.33% (58/75) as compared to male. But the difference is non-significant (p> 0.05) Yearling calves had the lower rate of GI parasitic infection than adults. Future investigations are necessary to evaluate the economic loss due to GI parasites in cattle’s.

Abstract Anti-tuberculosis drugs are reported to cause hepatotoxicity, which varies from asymptomatic rise of the hepatic enzymes. Hepatoprotective plants plays important role to protect liver. This study investigated the hepatoprotective potential of the Solanum lycopersicum in rats intoxicated with Isoniazid and Rifampicin (INH+RIF) to induce hepatotoxicity. Thirty wistar albino rats were divided into five groups of six animals each. Group 1 rats were kept control while groups II, III, IV and V were administered with INH+RIF (75+150 mg/kg) orally, for seven consecutive days. For treatment, rats in group III received silymarin while animals in group IV and V were provided with 40 mg/kg and 80 mg/kg of Solanum lycopersicum extract, respectively. On day 0 and 8th blood samples were collected for the analysis of hepatic biomarkers. The data were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s post hoc test for statistical analysis. Hepatotoxicity induced by INH+RIF resulted in significant elevation of serum hepatic enzymes including Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and total bilirubin while decreased the albumin level. The Solanum lycopersicum at dose of 80 mg/kg significantly reduced the hepatic enzymes AST, ALT, ALP and bilirubin while the albumin level was significantly increased. The treatment had non-significant effect on body and liver weight. Drug induced hepatotoxicity can be effectively treated with Solanum lycopersicum at 80 mg/kg dose.

Resumo O artigo analisa discursos produzidos sobre os animais pelo movimento vegetariano brasileiro do início do século XX. Contextualiza a criação do movimento no país, situando argumentos científicos e morais que embasaram a defesa do vegetarianismo. Analisa os discursos que cotejavam humanos e animais em seus aspectos biológicos e comportamentais, e que consideravam a carne um elemento “contaminador” da natureza humana. Argumenta que a a defesa da vida animal feita pelos vegetarianos naquela época não significava, necessariamente, a abolição de hierarquias e assimetrias entre a humanidade e os demais seres vivos.
Sobre la historia de los cantos de las aves o los cantos de las aves como historia
Authors: Cortés Zulueta Concepción
Published: February 2022

Resumen Igual que es posible trazar una historia de los cantos de las aves, de su recepción por y su relación con los seres humanos, también se puede especular sobre si esos cantos pueden funcionar como historia, viva, sonora, en qué grado y modos, así como en qué diferiría esa historia aviar de la humana o si podría enriquecerla. Muchas aves, después de todo, transmiten y aprenden sus cantos unas de otras, construyen sobre ellos y los complican, recogiendo otros sonidos que asumen e incorporan, sonidos humanos incluidos. Crean así paisajes sonoros que no siempre quedan de fondo: en ocasiones, reclaman su relevancia y toman el primer plano, en la historia y como historia.

Resumo Theodore Roosevelt viajou ao noroeste brasileiro em 1913 e 1914. Um dos seus objetivos era o de recolher informações sobre a fauna amazônica, especialmente a onça-pintada. Aliando fotografia e caça esportiva, Roosevelt desejava criar um repertório visual desse animal, mesclando-o à memória de suas conquistas. Entretanto, o terreno inóspito da floresta, o caráter furtivo e a rapidez dos movimentos das onças, assim como as limitações técnicas da fotografia, desafiaram suas pretensões. Examinaremos fotografias de animais produzidas por Roosevelt durante a viagem, assim como os retratos do Señor Lopez, famosa onça do Zoológico do Bronx, cujo registro, incorporado à narrativa da expedição, tornou-se relevante na memória da conquista, numa curiosa “representação do ausente”.
Characteristics and models for chlorohydrocarbon distribution in soils of Shanghai, China
Authors: Wu Yu-Lin , Li Tao , Shen Chao , Lu Shi-Feng , Han Bo
Published: February 2022

A clear understanding of the distribution characteristics of contaminants in soils is a prerequisite for remediation of contaminated sites. However, investigations on the distributions of chlorohydrocarbon contaminants in the field are still rare. In this study, three contaminated sites in the urban area of Shanghai, China, were selected to investigate the spatial distribution characteristics of chlorohydrocarbon contaminants. The chlorohydrocarbon contaminant contents were obtained by sampling in the field and measuring in the laboratory. The chlorohydrocarbon contaminants even break through the relatively deeper soil layers due to their high density and low solubility in groundwater and then accumulate to a high content in the top surface of a specific layer, which can be a natural barrier for preventing contaminants from migrating downwards due to its relatively low permeability. The relationships between chlorohydrocarbon contaminant spatial distributions and soil layer features were analysed. By combining the zone maps of soil layer distributions, the characteristics of chlorohydrocarbon contaminant distributions and enrichment phenomena in three different zones corresponding to three different sites are discussed and summarised. Conceptual models for distributions of chlorohydrocarbon contaminants are also proposed for preliminary estimation of the maximum depth and the possible enrichment zones of chlorohydrocarbon contaminants.

Plastics are an essential commodity due to their superior engineering properties, durability and low cost for utilization in various commercial products. However, the degradation of plastics due to several environmental stresses has led to the formation of microplastics (MPs). MPs have risen to the top of environmental concerns due to their affinity to pollute the environment and to pass it to the food chain, threatening human health. In this context, attempts have been made to extract and characterise MPs from aqueous and solid matrices. A problem that not only hampers research but also regulatory decisions is the variety of methods used for the extraction and characterisation of MPs, especially in organic solid matrices (OSMs) with organic matter >5%, making the comparison of results difficult. This paper aims to address this by critically assessing the methodologies used for the extraction and qualitative and quantitative characterisation of MPs in OSMs. Further, the current impediments in the accurate characterisation of MPs in OSMs are identified, along with recommendations for future research. Finally, recent efforts by various countries to legislate against certain sources of MPs, as well as issues and novel techniques to remediate MPs from the soil, and wastewater have been highlighted.
Monitoring infiltration of capillary barrier with actively heated fibre Bragg gratings

Published: February 2022

The capillary barrier effect of soil is the delayed water flow process inside soil pores due to intermolecular forces between liquid and solid particles. In this study, the capability of the fibre-optic sensing technology to quantify water infiltration in soil with a capillary barrier system is explored by measuring the spatio-temporal distributions of water contents. An actively heated fibre Bragg grating (AH-FBG) sensing tube was used to monitor rainfall infiltration in a one-dimensional soil column test. Frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) probes were used to perform in situ calibration of the AH-FBG sensors. The fibre-optic monitoring results indicate that the AH-FBG technology enables high-sensitivity detection of the capillary barrier effect. The empirical relationships between temperature changes and soil water contents can be well fitted by exponential or linear functions. The capillary barrier system has shown an apparent capability to store water after rainfall, which exerted a significant effect on the vertical infiltration process. Compared with the features of FDR and image acquisition, the proposed method can effectively reflect the whole process of wetting front movement and is more suitable for field monitoring due to its flexibility in large-scale and automatic measurement.
Integrating phonological and phonetic aspects of Mandarin Tone 3 sandhi in auditory sentence disambiguation
Authors: Lai Wei , Li Aini
Published: February 2022

This study investigates whether Mandarin listeners integrate a prosody-covarying phonological variable, the Chinese Tone 3 sandhi (T3S), into auditory sentence disambiguation. The T3S process changes the first of two consecutive low tones (T3) into a rising tone. It applies obligatorily within a foot and optionally across feet. When T3S is optional, it is more likely to apply to Tone 3 syllables across smaller prosodic boundaries than larger ones; the smaller the boundary, the sharper the T3S pitch rise. Participants listened to twenty-seven structurally ambiguous sentences and identified from two written interpretations the one consistent with what they heard. Each sentence contains two consecutive Tone 3 syllables, and posing different prosodic boundaries between the Tone 3 syllables would result in different interpretations. The first Tone 3 syllable was manipulated into three tone shapes (sharp-rising, shallow-rising, low) and two duration types (long, short). The results show higher major-juncture interpretation rates when the first Tone 3 is long than short, when T3S does not apply than when it applies, and when T3S has a shallower than sharper pitch slope. The tone effect further interacts with the foot formation of Tone 3 syllables in each sentence. We propose that listeners have sophisticated knowledge of prosodic variables and use it efficiently in linguistically meaningful contexts.

Published: February 2022

Virtual Reality(VR) technology is recognized as a new information medium for delivering travel-related information because it can deliver information more efficiently than traditional media. The current study's purpose is to identify the factors that influence the intention to use VR to tourism information search. An online survey was conducted in China in June and July 2020 for empirical analysis. By excluding respondents who did not know about VR, a total of 281 cases were analyzed. To identify the factors influencing the intention to use VR, a hierarchical regression analysis was performed. The findings show that the frequency of VR use in daily life, the perceived usefulness of VR for touristm information search, and travel personality type all have a significant impact on the intention to use VR for tourism information search. The perceived usefulness of VR for activity, destination, and attraction search positively influences the intention to use VR for tourism information search. People who identify themselves as 'Shopping Sharks' are more likely to use VR to tourism information search. According to the findings, the development of tourism VR content needs to concentrate on activity, destination, attraction, and shopping-related information. The study's limitations are discussed, as well as the direction for future research.
Exploring airline’s strategic CSR activity and its effect on flight attendants’ responses: Moderating function of person-organization fit
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Kwon Eun-Kyung , Kim In-Sin
Published: February 2022

This study extracted sub-dimensions of strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the airline industry by reconstructing Carroll's traditional CSR model. It also looked into the impact of strategic CSR on affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), as well as the relationship between the two from the perspective of flight attendants. The moderating role of person-organization fit was confirmed in the effect of strategic CSR on affective commitment and OCB. An empirical survey was conducted by distributing questionnaires to flight attendants in South Korea to test the current study's hypotheses. The data collected from 325 flight attendants was statistically analyzed. The study discovered that three strategic CSR activities were elicited in airlines, namely pro-environmental activities, community development and donation, and consumer protection, based on the analysis results. Both flight attendants' affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior were significantly influenced by the airline's strategic CSR. The results of the moderating variable analysis revealed that the effect of strategic CSR on affective commitment differed depending on the person-organization fit, but not on organizational citizenship behavior. The research model used the innovative concept of strategic CSR, which was developed in comparison to Carroll's CSR model, implying that employees perceive the authenticity of CSR more strongly when airlines act through strategic CSR rather than traditional CSR.

Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Jang Hye-Won , Koh Mi-Young
Published: February 2022

This study aims to reify the concept of sustainable tourism through the use of a hybrid model with a focus on Jeju. The conceptual definitions and the phenomenon are directly identified and analyzed with the collected data in the theoretical research stage of the study to understand in the field research stage. Following that, the two research stages were combined to present a conceptual definition of sustainable tourism. The concept of sustainable tourism is derived in four dimensions as a result of synthesizing the results of theoretical and field researches: sustainable development principles, resource management methods, resource management goals, and type of tourism, and a conceptual definition of sustainable tourism is proposed based on this. The academic implications of this study can be presented as a theoretical foundation for implementing the development and management strategies of resident-participatory ecotourism and regional tourism, which are required in the era of the establishment of the paradigm of sustainable tourism. And the practical implication of this study is that the findings can be used as a conceptual model of sustainable tourism that makes wise use of local resources. This paper's main contribution is that it provides a guideline for implementing sustainable tourism development.

Während eine adäquate Gestaltung digitaler Systeme zu hohen Entlastungen hinsichtlich der psychischen Aspekte der Arbeit führen kann, resultiert eine inadäquate Gestaltung unweigerlich in einer hohen psychischen Belastung und Beanspruchung. Oft werden Kontext- und Bedingungsfaktoren für die Durchführung übersehen, wodurch die Systeme eingeschränkt nutzbar oder gar unbenutzbar werden bzw. nur mit erhöhter psychischer Belastung umgesetzt werden können. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt einen Ansatz, wie solche Planungsfehler durch systematische Beachtung arbeitswissenschaftlicher Anforderungen in der Planungsphase vermieden werden können.

Digitalisierung mit neuen Technologien und Vernetzungen ermöglichen mobiles Arbeiten an unterschiedlichsten Orten. Gerne wird dabei durch die Bildsprache eine moderne kreative und effiziente Arbeitsweise, zum Beispiel im Zug, im Café oder am See, suggeriert, für die es nichts weiter braucht als ein Smartphone und ein Notebook. Dabei ist auch und gerade an diesen Arbeitsplätzen ein passgenaues Zusammenspiel aus Aufgabe, Arbeitsmittel und Arbeitsumgebung der Kern einer erfolgreichen Gestaltung sicherer und gesunder Arbeit.

Implementation of operational integration management – findings of a representative survey of employees 2018 Objectives: In Germany, employers are obliged to offer “operational integration management” (OIM) to employees who have been on sick leave for more than six weeks within the past 12 months. The aim of this analysis was to investigate the implementation of OIM. Methods: The analysis was based on a representative survey of employees (“BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey of the Working Population on Qualification and Working Conditions in Germany 2018”), which includes information on OIM for the first time. Sociodemographic and health-related characteristics, attributes of the company and job requirements, as well as aspects related to job satisfaction were analyzed in connection with the reported receipt of offers of OIM. It included subjects who reported having been on sick leave for 31 or more days within the last 12 months. The analysis was carried out by using multiple logistic regression models. Results: Among 1347 employees with 31 or more days of sick leave, 615 (45.7 %) reported having received an offer of OIM from their employer. Eleven characteristics were found to be significant in multiple models (p < 0.05). An increased chance of an OIM invitation was observed in subjects that reported a positive view on work and the working atmosphere (sense of community at the workplace, praise from superiors, job satisfaction) as well as in those who were employed in companies with a works or staff council (odds ratio (OR) = 1.7). If workplace health promotion measures had been implemented in their companies within the last two years, the odds of receiving an OIM offer were 2.4 times higher. Compared to public service, only the other services were associated with a lower chance of receiving an OIM offer (OR = 0.6). Conclusions: The findings suggest that the legal mandate for OIM is still not being adequately implemented. According to the survey, this applies in particular to companies classified as other services, to those that have neither a staff nor a works council and in which no health promotion measures have been implemented in the last two years. Keywords: BEM – occupational health management – incapacity for work – capacity for work

“Infrasound from technical installations” – a reply Objective: The assumption that infrasound from wind turbines (WT-IS) is harmful to health is not plausible a priori and therefore requires solid scientific evidence. In their publication “Infrasound from technical installations – Scientific basis for an assessment of health risks” (ASU 07/2021), the authors Roos and Vahl claim to provide such evidence. The aim of this paper is to verify whether the argumentation of Roos and Vahl is suitable to support the conclusion of a supposed adverse health effect of WT-IS. Methods: The validity of the argumentation and suitability of the literature citations quoted by Roos and Vahl as evidence for their statements were examined by reviewing the argumentation, the content of the cited references and the physical background. Results: The argumentation contains glaring errors in logical structure, misrepresentation and misinterpretation of study results, and erroneous representations of physical principles. A large number of statements are not supported by the references cited. Obvious conflicts of interest were not disclosed by the authors. Conclusions: Due to the aforementioned weaknesses, the publication by Roos and Vahl does not represent a usable contribution to the current debate on the health effects of WT-IS. We call for a rational approach to the issue. Keywords: infrasound – wind turbine – health effects

Mit zunehmender Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt verändert sich das Aufgaben- und Anforderungsspektrum. Eine wichtige Anforderung besteht darin, mit immer mehr Informationen umgehen zu müssen, deren Menge unter Umständen schwer zu bewältigen ist. Das Phänomen der Informationsüberflutung als Folge hohen Informationsaufkommens gewinnt dadurch zunehmend an Bedeutung im Belastungs-/Beanspruchungsgeschehen am Arbeitsplatz. Im Fokus dieses Beitrags steht die Ermittlung der gesundheitlichen Bedeutung des Erlebens von Informationsüberflutung bei der Arbeit.

Definitions of Power Quantities in the IEEE Std 1459-2010
Authors:   Akademia Morska w Gdyni, Piotrowski Tadeusz
Published: February 2022

The paper deals with the definitions of electrical power to quantify the flow of electrical energy in single-phase and three-phase circuits under sinusoidal, nonsinusoidal, balanced and unbalanced conditions recommended for the instrumentation design by the current IEEE standard. These definitions were adopted not by consensus but by balloting. They are based on concepts strongly contested by some eminent researchers. According to the author of the article, this determines the expected lack of practical impact of the standard.
Sıcaklık ve gerinim hızının grafen benzeri C4N3 yapısının mekanik özellikleri üzerindeki etkisi
Authors: ŞENTÜRK Ahmet Emin
Published: February 2022

Son yıllarda, iki boyutlu (2B) karbon bazlı nanomalzemeler sahip oldukları yüksek fiziksel özellikleri nedeniyle önemli ilgi görmektedir. Bu araştırmada, grafen benzeri C4N3 yapısının mekanik özellikleri moleküler dinamik (MD) simülasyonları kullanılarak detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. MD simulasyonları sonuçlarına göre, bu yapı üstün mekanik özellikler (çekme dayanımı, elastisite modülü ve kopma gerinimi) göstermektedir. Grafen benzeri C4N3 yapısının mekanik özellikleri farklı yükleme yönlerinde 200 K ile 900 K arasındaki beş farklı sıcaklıkta ve 107 s-1 ile 109 s-1 arasındaki farklı gerinim hızlarında incelenmiştir. MD sonuçları, bu 2B yapıların mekanik özelliklerinin, sıcaklık arttıkça, yüksek sıcaklığın zayıflatma etkisi nedeniyle yavaş yavaş azaldığını göstermektedir. MD sonuçları, bu yapının mekanik özelliklerinin, yüksek sıcaklığın atomlar arasındaki bağlanma enerjisini zayıflatma etkisi nedeniyle sıcaklık arttıkça yavaş yavaş azaldığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca, gerinim hızı arttığında, mekanik özellikler artış eğilimi göstermektedir. Bu yapının mekanik özellikleri armchair ve zigzag yönlerinde gerçekleştirilen yüklemeler sonucunda izotropiktir. Ek olarak, 300 K'de grafen benzeri C4N3 yapısının deformasyon süreci incelenmiştir. MD simülasyon sonuçları göstermiştir ki bu yapın gevrek kırılma mekanizmasına sahiptir. Bu çalışma sonuçlarının, gerçekleştirilecek 2B karbon-bazlı nano cihazların mekanik yönetimi için fayda sağlayacağı beklenmektedir.
