Numerical Schemes for a Unified First Order Hyperbolic System of Continuum Mechanics
Authors: Dumbser Michael
Published: June 2022

In the first part of this talk we present the unified first order hyperbolic formulation of Newtonian continuum mechanics proposed by Godunov, Peshkov and Romenski (GPR). The governing PDE system can be derived from a variational principle and belongs to the class of symmetric hyperbolic and thermodynamically compatible systems (SHTC), which have been studied for the first time by Godunov in 1961 and later in a series of papers by Godunov Romenski. An important feature of the model is that the propagation speeds of all physical processes, including dissipative processes, are finite. The GPR model is a geometric approach to continuum mechanics that is able to describe the behavior of nonlinear elasto-plastic solids at large deformations, as well as viscous Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids within one and the same governing PDE system. This is achieved via appropriate relaxation source terms in the evolution equations for the distortion field and the thermal impulse. It can be shown that the GPR model reduces to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the stiff relaxation limit, i.e. when the relaxation times tend to zero. The unified system is also able to describe material failure, such as crack generation and fatigue.
In the second part of the talk a family of high order ADER discontinuous Galerkin finite element schemes with a posteriori subcell finite volume limiter is introduced and applied to the GPR model. Computational results for nonlinear elasto-plastic solids with material failure are shown, as well as results in the fluid limit.
In the absence of source terms, the homogeneous part of the GPR model is endowed with involutions, namely the distortion field A and the thermal impulse J need to remain curl-free. In the third part of the talk we therefore present a new structure-preserving scheme that is able to preserve the curl-free property of both fields exactly also on the discrete level. This is achieved via the definition of appropriate and compatible discrete gradient and curl operators on a judiciously chosen staggered grid. Furthermore, the pressure terms are discretized implicitly, in order to capture the low Mach number limit of the equations properly, while all other terms are discretized explicitly. In this manner, the resulting pressure system is symmetric and positive definite and can be solved with efficient iterative solvers like the conjugate gradient method. Last but not least, the new staggered semi-implicit scheme is asymptotic-preserving and thus also able to reproduce the stiff relaxation limit of the governing PDE system properly, recovering an appropriate discretization of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations.

Published: June 2022

Background

Several studies have evaluated the outcomes of tantalum cones in revision knee arthroplasty with moderate-to-severe metaphyseal bone defects. However, recent innovations have led to the development of 3-D printed titanium cones to better adapt to host bone, there remains no consensus on their overall performance.

Objective

We therefore performed a systematic review of the literature to examine short-term survivorship and complication rates of their usage in revision TKAs.

Methods

A systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A comprehensive search of PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was conducted for English articles using various combinations of keywords.

Results

In all, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria. A total of 687 cones were implanted in 557 revision TKAs. The all-cause revision-free survivorship of the implants was 95.3% (26 revisions), and of the cones was 95.5% (31 cones revised) at mean 24 months follow-up. The cones revision-free survivorship from aseptic loosening was 99.7%. The overall complication rate was 19.7% with infection as the most common complications observed and the most frequent reason for revision with an incidence of 10.4% and 4.1%, respectively. Overall, functional outcomes improved as documented by postoperative knee scores.

Conclusion

3-D printed metal cones represent a reliable option in metaphyseal bone defects reconstruction that provides high fixation, good short-term survivorship, and complications rates in line with similar devices. In addition, they are associated with lower intraoperative complications, and higher survivorship from aseptic loosening.

Published: June 2022

Osmotic systems are the most reliable controlled drug delivery systems and can be employed as oral drug delivery systems. Osmotic pressure is used as the driving force for these systems to release the drug in a controlled manner. Osmotic pump tablet (OPT) generally consists of a core including the drug(s), an osmotic agent, other excipients and semipermeable membrane coat. The aim of current study was to develop osmotic drug delivery system for Lornoxicam. Two different approaches were used for formulation, one was controlled porosity osmotic tablet and other was elementary osmotic tablet. The formulations were evaluated for different parameters like appearance, uniformity of weight, drug content, hardness and drug release also the effect of different osmotic agents responsible for developing the osmotic pressure such as sodium chloride and mannitol along with different concentration of pore former sorbitol were studied and comparison was made between first controlled porosity osmotic tablet which include the osmotic tablet in which coating membrane contains water soluble pore forming polymers when the membrane comes in contact with water the leaching of polymers occur thereby permitting the water inside the wall and creating the osmotic pressure to release the drug and second the elementary osmotic tablet containing osmotic agent sodium chloride coated with the rate controlling semipermeable membrane of cellulose acetate, this membrane contains an orifice of a critical size through which the drug is delivered. From the results it was found that the developed formulation the controlled porosity osmotic tablet of Lornoxicam (CPOP) was able to release the drug over 12 hrs at zero order and also the concentration of osmotic agent, level of pore former and thickness of coating membrane are responsible for controlling the release of Lornoxicam. The coating membrane was subjected to SEM analysis which showed formation of pores in the membrane. The developed controlled porosity osmotic pump tablet of lornoxicam was found to control the release for 12 hrs.

Published: June 2022

Excessive use of inorganic fertilizers, especially during the green revolution, has caused pollution and contamination of the soil due to accumulated residues. The inorganic fertilizer residues then cause soil compaction, loss of available nutrients and soil organic matter, loss of soil biodiversity which indirectly reduces soil fertility and makes plants more susceptible to disease. Biofertilizers have the potential to optimize soil response to fertilization, improve soil health, and even reduce the need for inorganic fertilizers to achieve sustainable agriculture. One of the types of microbes contained in biological fertilizers that have been proven to be able to replace the need for inorganic P fertilizers and improve soil health and productivity is a group of phosphate solubilizing microbes. The quality of biofertilizers is also determined by the carrier material capable of supporting the growth of inoculants. The purpose of this study was to test the viability of phosphate solubilizing microbes on carriers during storage The microbes used were Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas mallei, Burkholderia sp, and Trichoderma harzianum, while the tested carrier material were hydrogel and kaolin. The results showed that hydrogel and kaolin as carriers were able to support the growth of P-solubilizing microbes inoculants during storage (until 126 day). The number of viable populations of each isolate that makes up the biofertilizer consortium was in the high population range up to 1012 cfu. g-1.

The study was conducted at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Dry land farm, Sokoto State and Bui village in Arewa local government area of Kebbi State both in Nigeria to determine heterosis for downy mildew in some pearl millet crosses. Twelve parents and thirty hybrids were evaluated for their reaction to the disease. The genotypes were sown in the field in randomized complete block design with two replications. They were inoculated by spraying them with sporangia suspension at seedling stage. Data were collected on downy mildew disease incidence, severity score and some agronomic traits. Analysis of variance for combine location depicts significant (P < 0.05) difference among the genotypes for all the characters except plant height (PHT), number of panicles harvested (NPH) and panicle weight (PWT). Heterosis over high parent and mid parent recorded positive and negative heterotic values in desired direction for grain yield (kg/ha), downy mildew incidence and severity across the locations.
Discovery of novel enzymes from extreme environments through metagenomic approaches: A mini-review
Authors: Salma Mukhtar
Published: June 2022

Extremophilic microorganisms are able to survive under extreme conditions of temperature, pH, salinity and pressure, such as hypersaline soils, hydrothermal vents, acidic coal mines and soda lakes. These microorganisms have special genetic and physiological modifications to survive under abiotic and biotic stresses. Extremozymes are considered as an important source for different industrial and biotechnological applications. With the advent of meta-omics approaches, the discovery of novel enzymes has accelerated. Using function- and sequence-based metagenomics, a large number of enzymes have been identified and characterized directly from extreme environments. Many extremozymes such as proteases, amylases, esterases, cellulases, chitinases, oxidoreductases and hydrolases have special properties to work at a wide range of salt, pH and temperature. In this review, the discovery and industrial applications of novel enzymes from extreme environments through metagenomic approaches have been discussed. We have also explained the screening methods of novel extremozymes through function- and sequence-based metagenomics.

This study investigated the effects of charcoalized soil on maize and cowpea which was conducted in the Green House of the Science Laboratory Technology in The Oke-Ogun Polytechnic. The treated seeds of maize was planted in plastic containers containing 4.2g of charcoalized soil in the Green House. The result obtained showed that sample E with manure had the highest stem height (40.69) while sample E with manure has the lowest value (8.97). It further revealed that the leaf length ranged from 60.14 to 24.52, Sample E with manure has 60.14 while sample B without manure had the 24.52 which is the lowest leaf length among the samples. Number of leaves ranged from 9.04 to 5.42mm, sample E with manure has the highest values while sample A without manure had was the lowest value. It revealed that there was no significance difference in cadmium and cobalt contents. It further reveled that Sodium ranged from 0.69 to 0.007, Sample B with manure having the highest sodium contents while Sample B without manure having the lowest sodium contents. Calcium ranged from 19.0 to 0.007, Sample B without manure having the highest calcium contents while sample E without manure having the lowest calcium contents among the samples. However, the efficiency of biomass conversion into charcoal was important in conjunction with a newly proposed opportunity to use charcoal as a soil conditioner that improves soil quality on very acid and highly weathered soils. It is hereby recommended that in other to improved nutrient contents, particularly in C+, resulted in a significant cowpea yield increase and further field-testing of charcoalized soil should be continued for three or more growing seasons to see the trends in yield, so as to ascertain the long-term effects of charcoal production on the fertility of tropical soils.

Authors: İsmail Özkaya  , İrem Beyza Şişman
Published: June 2022

It has long been known that insufficient intake of quality dietary protein or amino acids impairs immune function and increases susceptibility to infectious diseases Nutritional status in people infected with SARS-CoV-2 is a crucial factor for optimal prognosis and can determine the clinical severity of COVID-19. Insufficient energy and protein intake to reduce weight gain due to inactivity during the pandemic is a common mistake people make. Insufficient intakes of energy, protein and specific micronutrients; It is associated with suppressed immune function and increased susceptibility to infection. The morbidity and mortality of the disease is higher, especially in low immune function people. It is known that increasing protein intake is a priority in order to reduce catabolism due to inflammatory mediators Eating healthy before, during and after the illness is the main key to the immune system and health. Patients who can eat during illness should be advised to consume sufficient and high quality protein despite the loss of their sense of taste. In order to prevent muscle loss and strengthen respiratory muscles, 1.5 g / kg / day protein and branched chain amino acid would be a good decision for this pandemic periods.

Authors: Sanchi ID  , Alhassan YJ  , Sabo YA  , Hamid BJ
Published: June 2022

Despite the various poverty eradication/alleviation programmes and strategies adopted by various governments in Nigeria, over 93 million Nigerians still live in poverty, with at least three million sliding into extreme poverty between November 2018 and February 2019 (Olayinka, 2019). This is a clear indication of the ineffectiveness of these policies and programmes, which is attributable to corruption, high level of inequality in income distribution, low literacy rate and poor skill set, political instability, and poor leadership. The major challenge every responsive and responsible government must contend with is to make life better and more meaningful to the citizenry irrespective of whether such government is a democratic one or a military dictator if the regime is to have relevance and continue to enjoy legitimacy in the eyes of the governed. Every successive government since independence has put up one strategy or the other aimed at eradicating the sufferings of the people and put smiles on the faces of the governed. This paper critically examined the various poverty eradication programmes, reforms and strategies, which had been undertaken by successive Nigerian governments and the reasons behind the success/failure of these programmes. The paper articulated and proffered useful strategies that if faithfully implemented would lead the nation out of the present dungeon of poverty and set the nation on the right map of sustainable economic development and not just on economic growth which it has persistently witnessed over the years.

Published: June 2022

Intracystic papillary carcinoma (IPC) of the breast is a rare malignant tumour, found mainly but not exclusively in elderly women. IPC may be asymptomatic or presents with a palpable mass or blood-stained nipple discharge. Radiologic manifestations of IPC are not specific. On ultrasonography, it can be a pure cyst, a mixed image, or a solid mass. Histologic features of the tumor include cellular proliferations surrounding fibrovascular cores, with or without invasion. The mainstay of treatment is breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy. Sentinel node biopsy could be considered in invasive cases. Adjuvant radiotherapy and/or endocrine therapy is considered in appropriate cases. Through the observation of a 58-year-old patient, we report the epidemiological, clinical and radiological data of papillary breast carcinoma.

Trends and variations in the activity of global vegetation in response to climate variability between 1987 and 1997
Authors: Mohamed Mohamed Abugaib A. , Babiker Insaf S. , Hiyama Tetsuya , Ikeda Kenichi , Kato Kikou
Published: June 2022

Eleven-year (1987-1997) time series data of remotely sensed vegetation index (NDVI) and meteorological observations (temperature, precipitation, cloud cover and relative humidity) provided a powerful tool to illuminate the response of global terrestrial vegetation to short-and long-term climate variability. NDVI being a sensitive estimator of the amount of photosynthetic active radiation intercepted by the canopy has been treated as a proxy for above ground net primary production (ANPP). Analyses of trends, multiple regression and correlation analyses were employed. The main result indicates a considerable increase (0.7~1.9%/year) of monthly vegetation production in all ecosystems over the investigated period, allied with an analogous increase (0.9~15%/year) in precipitation. Additionally, several direct relationships were also observed on the intra- and inter-annual time scales suggesting that the increase and variation of ANPP in most biomes could be mainly linked to the corresponding increase and variation in precipitation. Overall, the four climate variables play a considerable role in the inter-annual variability of ANPP of global vegetation.

Kişinin doğumuyla başlayan sosyal beceri edinimi okuma/dinleme etkinlikleriyle gelişme gösterir. Masallar çocukların okuma/dinleme etkinlikleri yapabileceği çok yönlü metinlerdir. Özellikle Oğuz Tansel’in Anadolu’dan derleyip yazdığı masallar pek çok sosyal beceriyi içerir ancak bugüne kadar Oğuz Tansel’in derleyip yazdığı masalları sosyal beceriler açısından inceleyen bir çalışma olmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Oğuz Tansel’in derleyip yazdığı masalları sosyal beceriler açısından incelemektir. Araştırma, betimsel tarama modelindedir.

Published: June 2022

This research aims to examine the degree to which women participate in panchayats' operation and voting process. 100 women from Telangana's Mahabubnagar District's Chowdoor Gram Panchayat in Nawabpet Mandal participated in the research in March 2022. The study found that women's political engagement in the Panchayat election process was adequate. Still, women lack interest in politics when it comes to assembly and parliamentary elections.

Observations of health and illness from the perspective of the lay experiences
Authors: Mamatha B. Y.
Published: June 2022

This article reviews and evaluates the literature on health and illness produced over the last 20 years that has added to our knowledge of lay experiences of health & illness. From an “outsider” viewpoint, as expressed in the Parsonian idea of the “sick role,” comes a crucial and welcome transition to one that examines the experiences of individuals in their everyday lives. Early work by “Bury (1982), Charmaz (1983), and Williams (1984)” has been highlighted for their role in laying the groundwork for a more nuanced understanding of lay experiences that takes into account both micro-and macro-contextual effects. As well as pointing out ‘uncharted territory’ and “the ‘missing voices’ in the medical sociology literature, the paper looks to the future and the past. According to some recently published work in the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar journals that have opened the way to what may be 21st-century health and illness. The paper concludes with a plea for medical sociologists to be more open to new and unconventional theoretical & methodological perspectives.”

Published: June 2022

In a developing country like India, the incidence of snake bites is very high. Some states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, etc. are the worst affected states. The rate of fatality is also comparatively higher in India as there is usually a delay in hospital admission. In the present study, we observed a higher incidence of snakebites amongst farmers and field workers in the age range of 21 to 40 years with a male preponderance.  Most commonly bite marks were seen on legs and hands. Pain, local swelling, and neurotoxic features were dominant clinical features at the time of hospitalization. None of the victims were found using protective measures such as rubber gloves or long boots while working in the field.
