Analysis of Conformational Exchange Processes using Methyl-TROSY-Based Hahn Echo Measurements of Quadruple-Quantum Relaxation
Authors: Waudby Christopher Andrew , Christodoulou John
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Transverse nuclear spin relaxation is a sensitive probe of chemical exchange on timescales on the order of microseconds to milliseconds. Here we present an experiment for the simultaneous measurement of the relaxation rates of two quadruple-quantum transitions in 13CH3-labelled methyl groups. These coherences are protected against relaxation by intra-methyl dipolar interactions, and so have unexpectedly long lifetimes within perdeuterated biomacromolecules. However, these coherences also have an order of magnitude higher sensitivity to chemical exchange broadening than lower order coherences, and therefore provide ideal probes of dynamic processes. We show that analysis of the static magnetic field dependence of zero-, double- and quadruple-quantum Hahn echo relaxation rates provides a robust indication of chemical exchange, and can determine the signed relative magnitudes of proton and carbon chemical shift differences between ground and excited states. We also demonstrate that this analysis can be combined with established CPMG relaxation dispersion measurements, providing improved precision in parameter estimates, particularly in the determination of 1H chemical shift differences.

Published: September 2021

Abstract. This study is devoted to the analysis of the storm surges and wind waves in the Caspian Sea for the period from 1979 to 2017–2020. The models used are the circulation model ADCIRC and the wave model WAVEWATCH III with wind and pressure forcing from the NCEP/CFSR reanalysis. The modeling is performed on the unstructured grid with spacing to 300–700 m in the coastal zone. Mean and extreme values of surges, wave parameters, and storm activity are provided. The maximum significant wave height for the whole period amounts to 8.2 m. The average long-term SWH does not exceed 1.1 m. No significant trend in the storm activity was found. The maximum surges height amounts to 2.7 m. Analysis of the interannual variability of the surges occurrence showed that 7–10 surges with a height of more than 1 meter were obtained per year and the total duration of all these surges was 20–30 days per year. Assessment of the risk of coastal flooding was carried out by calculating the extreme values of the Sea for different return periods 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years. The extreme sea level values in the northern part of the Caspian Sea for the return period 100 years is close to 3 m and the areas with big surges are located along the eastern and western coasts. Based on climatic scenarios of CMIP5, a forecast is made for the recurrence of storm wind waves in the 21st century. A statistically significant increase of storm waves recurrence in the future was found, but it is not dramatically growing.

Published: September 2021

Abstract. In Europe, formation of the Palaeozoic Variscan orogenic belt, and then the Mesozoic-Cenozoic Alpine-Carpathian orogenic belt led to a widespread inversion events within forelands of both orogenic domains. We used legacy 2D seismic data together with the newly acquired 3D seismic data that for the first time precisely imaged sub-Zechstein (i.e. sub-evaporitic) upper Palaeozoic succession in NW Poland in order to develop quantitative, balanced 2D model of the late Palaeozoic – recent evolution of this area, characterised by a complex pattern of repeated extension and inversion. Four main tectonic phases have been determined: (1) Late Devonian – early Carboniferous extension related to extensional reactivation of Caledonian thrusts, (2) late Carboniferous inversion caused by Variscan orogeny, (3) Permo-Mesozoic subsidence related to the development of the Polish Basin, and (4) its Late Cretaceous – Paleogene inversion. Variscan and Alpine structures form superimposed multilayer inversion system, mechanically decoupled along the Zechstein evaporites.
Past changes in natural and managed snow reliability of French Alps ski resorts from 1961 to 2018
Authors: Berard-Chenu Lucas , François Hugues , George Emmanuelle , Morin Samuel
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Snow reliability is a key climatic impact driver for the ski tourism industry, for which there is more literature regarding future projections than past observed impacts. This study provides an assessment of past changes in natural and managed snow cover reliability from 1961 to 2018 in the French Alps. In particular, we used snowmaking investment figures to infer the evolution of snowmaking coverage at the ski resort scale for 16 ski resorts in the French Alps. We find different benefits of snow management to reduce the variability and long term decrease in snow cover reliability because of the heterogeneity of the snowmaking deployment trajectories across ski resorts. The frequency of challenging conditions for ski resort operation over the 1991–2018 period increased in November and February to April compared to the reference period 1961–1990. In general, snowmaking had a positive impact on snow reliability, especially in December to January. While for the highest elevation ski resorts, snowmaking improved snow reliability for the core of the winter season, it did not counterbalance the decreasing trend in snow cover reliability for lower elevation ski resorts and in the spring.

The diversity of financial assets owned by Iraqi companies, which are measured and presented in different ways according to the classification of these assets according to international financial reporting standards, and that re-measuring these assets (shares) affects the income statement and the financial position of companies according to the change in the fair value of shares. The auditor uses multiple auditing methods for the purpose of verifying the measurement and presentation of these assets, including the use of electronic means in auditing (computer auditing.(The aim of the research is to clarify what electronic auditing is and to explain and analyse the measurement requirements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS - 9), in addition to preparing an electronic audit program that helps the auditor to verify the re measurement and presentation of the companies ’financial assets. Two mixed joint stock companies (Iraqi Company for Manufacturing and Marketing Dates - the National Company for Tourism Investments and Real Estate Projects) are adopted as a field of application by analysing their financial data for the year / 2018 and conducting a simulation of the outcome of the activity and the financial position of the company using an electronic audit program. This is to show the difference between the actual results and the results expected to be shown in light of the measurement principles adopted under international financial reporting standards. The researchers have concluded that the use of electronic means helps the auditor to conduct the audit process for the various financial assets due to their multiplicity and diversity in addition to the diversity of their market values. In addition, this enables the auditor to identify errors and indicate their impact on the income statement and budget and thus reach a final opinion on the financial statements towards the use of electronic means in auditing operations by professional organizations and relevant authorities for the purpose of speed and accuracy in completing auditing operations. Moreover, the necessity to prepare electronic programs for various auditing purposes in line with the activity of the bodies subject for auditing and training auditors in the use of such programs.

The study aims to determine the impact of adopting the Blue Ocean strategy in supporting the provision of revolutionary products in Apple. The problem of the study is that revolutionary products as a practical alternative to eliminate the intense competition between organizations (even if it is in the short term) can only be achieved through the formulation and adoption of a comprehensive and integrated strategy by senior management, such as the Blue Ocean Strategy,The study adopted a default scheme in which it defined its hypotheses to achieve its objectives and used the descriptive and analytical approach to achieve the results, The questionnaire was key tool in collecting data and information on the field side of the study, Apple has been selected to study and test its hypotheses, and the opinions of 24 employees in the company who work in Iraq as Distributors, The study concluded with a number of conclusions, the most important of which is the existence of a significant correlation and influence relationship to the adoption of the Blue Ocean strategy in support of the provision of revolutionary products. The adoption of the Blue Ocean strategy contributes to supporting the provision of revolutionary products, But this contribution is not the only one, as shown by the coefficient of selection that appeared low in statistical analysis, and this reflects the nature of those products that are unpredictable or at least difficult to predict, and the study presented a set of proposals under these conclusions.

Published: September 2021

Floodplain meadow grassland is a diverse habitat which has become increasingly rare throughout Europe. Meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria, is a characteristic species of its plant community, however it can become overly dominant in the sward resulting in detrimental effects on the community as a whole. High abundance can reduce both the diversity of the sward, by shading out low growing species, and the quality of the hay crop. An eight-year management trial (2011-2019) was undertaken at Fancott Woods and Meadows SSSI by the BCN Wildlife Trust and the Floodplain Meadows Partnership, to test whether it was possible to reduce the dominance of meadowsweet through an annual hay cut with aftermath grazing instead of grazing management only, across three blocks of experimental treatments. A secondary aim of the trial was to investigate whether a change in management could also increase the plant-species diversity. Three plots were cut in June and then aftermath grazed, compared to three control plots that were only grazed from July onwards. The study found that cover of meadowsweet decreased from 55% to 6% under the annual cut and aftermath grazing treatment compared to a decrease from 58% to 35% in the control (grazed only) areas. This was accompanied by an increase in plant-species diversity in the cut areas compared to control plots. The study concluded that annual cutting can be used to control coarse and dominant meadowsweet effectively, and that cutting followed by aftermath grazing in a floodplain meadow delivers greater botanical diversity compared to grazing alone.
Manuel L. Quezon and the Filipino women’s suffrage movement of 1937
Authors: Alporha Veronica
Published: September 2021

Manuel L. Quezon is often credited by historians like Encarnacion Alzona (1937) as a staunch advocate of women’s right to vote. Indeed, the history of the struggle for women’s suffrage often highlights the role that Quezon played in terms of supporting the 1937 plebiscite as the president of the Philippine Commonwealth. Various print media of the period like dailies and magazines depicted him, and consequently, the success of the women’s suffrage movement, in the same light (e.g., Philippine Graphic, Manila Bulletin). However, closer scrutiny of Quezon’s speeches, letters, and biography in relation to other pertinent primary sources would reveal that Quezon was, at best, ambivalent, on the cause of the suffragists. His appreciation of the women’s suffrage’s merits was tied and anchored on certain political gains that he could acquire from it. In contrast to the appreciation of his contemporaries like Rafael Palma, Quezon’s appreciation of the women’s right to vote was based on patronage politics and not on the view that the right to suffrage is a right of women and not a privilege. His support for the cause was aimed at putting himself at the forefront of this landmark legislation and thus the real champions of the cause—the women—at the sidelines
All Hail, the Baklang Kanal!: Subversive frivolity in two Filipino influencers
Authors: Cabbuag Samuel , Benitez Christian Jil
Published: September 2021

In November 2020, in a now-deleted tweet, twelve queer Filipino influencers on Twitter were branded as “baklang kanal,” for their noted expressions of dissent against the Rodrigo Duterte regime. Soon after, an online debate ensued: among these twelve influencers, who are the most rightful to be considered as baklang kanal ? While the term as commonly used now in Twitter is understood to refer to “gay individuals who are unapologetically outspoken about their views” (Vilog, 2020a), this paper intuits baklang kanal as a means to symbolically negotiate with the audience, toward construction of a seeming authenticity that is crucial for the establishment, maintenance, and expansion of their influencer status—what can be nominated as subversive frivolity, or the “generative power…arising from (populist) discursive framing as marginal, inconsequential, and unproductive” (Abidin, 2016, p. 2). We explore such harnessing of baklang kanal as generative power through a case study of two social media influencers, namely Pipay (@pipaykipayy) and Sassa Gurl (@Itssassagurl), exemplary not only for their large followings, but as well as their inclusion in the inaugural Bardy’s, a parodic people’s choice award facilitated over Twitter, for the Cannes’al (i.e., “kanal”) category.
INFLUENCE OF THE VOLATILE FATTY ACID CONTENT TO RADIATION VULCANIZED NATURAL RUBBER LATEX (RVNRL)
Authors: CHIRINOS Hugo David , CARVALHO DE JESUS Sueli
Published: September 2021

Natural rubber latex is a dispersion of natural rubber particles in water. These particles are coated with a protein layer which will stabilize the dispersion in water by forming an electric charge in the layer. Any different condition affecting this layer disturbs the stability of dispersion. Microorganism attack disturbs the protein layer and consequently the stability of the dispersion. By adding 1.2% by weight of NH3, the stability of the dispersion can be improved. The fresh latex was irradiated by Co-60 with irradiation dose of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 100 kGy. The results showed a relationship between the volatile fatty acid content (VFA, product from microorganism attack on carbohydrate) and the green strength or the physical properties of vulcanized film. Low VFA number showing a higher physical strength of the film either un-vulcanized or vulcanized. It appeared that the structure was responsible in yielding a good physical property of the film.
WATER TREATMENT IN OPEN RECIRCULATING COOLING SYSTEMS
Authors: PEREIRA César Augusto , CORRÊA Sergio Machado
Published: September 2021

Studies for the use of cleaner water treatment technology in open recirculation systems lead to the development of a treatment philosophy based on the search of an operation with ideal cycle of concentration. In this way, the material balance control in the cooling system may reach a concentration level which the circulating water exhibit naturally and, at the same time, low iron corrosion tendency and low calcium carbonate scale formation. The treatment using corrosion and deposit formation inhibitors would be only a complement, reducing the chemicals addition for the water conditioning. The present work intents to show that the treatment criteria based on the stability index is only a first approach. It does not consider the fact that water-soluble species do not concentrate by the same way, mainly due to conversion reactions involving the carbonate ion and the calcium ion precipitation.
CASE STUDY TO WATER TREATMENT IN OPENED COOLING SYSTEMS WITH RECIRCULATION
Authors: PEREIRA César Augusto , CORRÊA Sergio Machado
Published: September 2021

The water treatment of open cooling systems with recirculation is based on the operation of concentration cycles, with corrosion inhibitors and deposits preventers only with complement. This technology does not consider the presence of soluble chemical species which lead to problems to the stability indexes. This was studied in an experimental design in an open water recirculation treatment system with an evaporative condenser of a chemical industry. It were collected samples of the reposition and recalculating waster at different levels of concentration, by changing the purging system. The parameters analyzed were pH, partial and total alkalinity, calcium roughness, chloride, conductivity, and also experiments with a corrosion proof. The results obtained in real operation conditions showed that the concentration of bicarbonate ion changes in a different way, when compared with the soluble ions as chloride. If the traditional treatment was used several stability indexes must be considered along the system and not a unique index, capable to establish all treatment process. It is presented that must be considered that the quality of the reposition water have to present specific conditions, as a previous treatment. Great care must be taken to use the water reuse in these systems, as an usual practice nowadays. The clean technology in these systems have limited use and must be revised, because can lead to conditions adverse to this technology, using greater quantities of chemical products.

Generally, the teaching process is a very important for the development of society, but especially for those who are seeking for spiritual guidance and knowledge. In this article a leader is based on a premier, mentor or a teacher plays a vital role to provide the specific kind of knowledge because an ordinary person does not have a full command on the deep myth of Sufis and Sufism. The proposed research through the deductive method of research emphasizes the need and position of spiritual mentor and their responsibilities to meet the modern demands of millions young generation. Mulana Rumi and Sultan Bahoo both were the great personalities of their ages. They were prominent, in their sayings, poetry and teachings well known and followed for their reality and perfection of sou. The author will throw light on the qualities and abilities of the spiritual mentors as well as their efforts to bring eminent change in the behaviour of society and their followers. The proper includes that a spiritual mentor is unable to provide reinforcement mechanisms to satisfy the curiosity in a specific framework of the actual teachings of mentioned above personalities. She may not be considered as real religious or spiritual mentor. Hence, there is a core need of the exploration of new dimensions to open new doors of spiritualty for the people and Islamic societies.

Islam is considered divine religion. It is based on God's revelation and the sunnah of the Holy Prophet. It's a complete code of life as religion not just worship. Islam places considerable emphasis on education, as well as on beliefs and worship. It drives people to seek knowledge as a last religion. While, the first revelation highlights the significance of seeking knowledge as the first revelation word “Iqra” which means Read (Chapter Al-alaq). The main prerequisite for developing education is established in first chapter Al alaq's five ayat (Read, knowledge, and pen). The two renowned Muslim thinkers Imam Ghazali and Ibn Khuldun have passed in history, their services in the field of education provide directions to our current education system. Keeping in view the Islamic school of thoughts Imam Ghazali and Ibn Khuldun explained a comprehensive educational philosophy which they have discussed the main foundations of philosophy i.e. metaphysics, epistemology and axiology in the light of Quran and sunnah. Moreover, they have elaborated the aims of education and introduced the techniques to achieve them. As well as they clearly defined the role and responsibilities of instructors and pupils. So, this paper designates the biography and educational thoughts of Imam Ghazali and Ibne Khuldun in detail i.e., the concept of knowledge, classification of knowledge, learning stages, teaching methodology, curriculum, concept of discipline and obligations of both instructors and pupils.

Evaluation of tolerance to Phytophthora capsici-the causal agent of foot rot disease in black pepper
Authors: Ton Anh T.
Published: September 2021

Vietnam is the leading black pepper export country in the world. However, the production of pepper may be affected by natural disasters, pests such as Phytophthora capsici. The Phytophthora capsica disease has caused a significant decline in pepper yields. The disease is characterized with a high mortality rate (up to 100%) and rapid outbreak and thus is very challenging to control. In the present study, eight strains of P. capsici were isolated from 100 samples of leaf, stem, root and soil that were collected from pepper-growing areas of Dong Nai, Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau provinces. These isolates' straits had capacity to cause foot rot on pepper leaf after two days of inoculation. Among them, the isolates with the highest pathogenicity are BR-L1, DN-D1 and DN-D2. In order to determine the resistance level to P. capsici of commonly grown pepper varieties (Vinh Linh, Se, Xanh, Trau and Kuching), the pepper leaves were in vitro infected with P. capsici BR-L1 spores in laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Trau variety showed the highest resistance level to P. capsici with the as indicated by (P < 0.01) disease ratio (74.1%) and disease index (73.7%) after 6 days in laboratory condition and the corresponding numbers of 17.3% and 15.8% after 12 days in greenhouse condition.

The effects of temperature, time, alkalinity and solid/liquid ratio on separation of lignin, hemicellulose to obtain cellulose from water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) were investigated. Microcrystalline cellulose fibers were examined by microscope and infrared spectroscopy IR. The results showed that lignin and hemicellulose were removed by alkaline treatment. The obtained cellulose fibers were modified by esterification reaction with acetic anhydride in acetic acid, sulfuric acid with the aid of ultrasound. The cellulose acetate was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and IR spectra. The synthesized nano fibers were in the diameter range of 50 - 100 nm from the TEM with even arrangement. The IR spectrum also showed that the -OH group was replaced by the -OCOCH3 group, thus, reducing the polarization and hygroscopic ability of cellulose, suitable for using as the reinforcing phase in biodegradable composite materials.

Authors: Nguyen Sang V.
Published: September 2021

Genotype by environment interaction for growth rate in G1 of the same selection program has been published. However, there is no repeated figure in later generations for confirming and well-planning the design of selection program for further improvement. The experiment was conducted using selective population of generation 4 with 97 families tested in 3 environments. Growth (body weight) and survival rate at harvest weight were recorded and evaluated. There was no genotype by environment interaction for both traits with high genetic correlations of the same traits tested between ponds in the Central and in the South of Vietnam of 0.80 and 0.83, respectively. There was also no genotype by environment interaction for growth rate between ponds in the South of Vietnam and bio-security indoor tank with high genetic correlation of 0.91. These results indicated that the number of testing environments would be reduced to save the operation cost for a breeding program. Estimated genetic response was from moderate to high for growth trait corresponding to moderate to high heritabilities (0.20 - 0.45) and high for survival rate corresponding to high heritabilities (0.34 - 0.45).

Utilization of knife fish bone as new materials to produce fish protein and mineral powder to increase the value of by-products is necessary. The objective of this study was to investigate effects of Tegalase enzyme concentration, heating time, and drying condition on the quality of hydrolyzed knife fish bone. The results showed that the sample hydrolyzed at 50oC with the Tegalase enzyme concentration of 0.3% resulted in the highest peptide formation and amino acid content in protein solution (3602 peptide bonding and 16.4 g/L, respectively) as well as the highest mineral content (38.8%) in the bone sample. After hydrolysis, the sample was filtered to separate the bone and protein solution. The protein solution heated up to 90 – 100oC for 2 min showed the highest amino acid content (18.1 g/L). The moisture content, protein yield and recovery yield of the fish protein were 9.11%, 68.1%, and 2.19%, respectively when dried at 60oC for 24 h. After hydrolysis, the bone was dried at the temperature of 60oC for 3 h to get mineral powder with 11.4% moisture, 78.9% minerals and 21.9% calcium

Drought has been a big problem and damaged seriously to rice cultivation and production in Vietnam and the Mekong Delta region; evaluating drought tolerance of rice is a major objective for the rice improvement programmes in Can Tho University. Fifty-two collected rice varieties including resistant and susceptible control varieties were screened for water stress under the artificial drought condition. Marker RM223 was used to identify the drought tolerance genotypes for some selected varieties with good and moderate tolerant scores. After 30 days of water stress, the results were 6 varieties of good tolerant, 8 varieties of moderate tolerance, 36 varieties of moderately susceptible and 2 varieties of susceptible to drought. Analyses of PCR showed that 10 varieties expressed the similar bands with the resistant control variety. Four varieties (LH8, MTL812, Lua Canh and VB1) with good tolerant to drought were recommended to use for genetic materials of rice breeding program and applying in alternative wetting and drying irrigation technique for rice cultivation.

Authors: Mac Cham V.
Published: September 2021

The effects of phytohormones and positions on mother stem on shooting rate, number of shoots per cut, foot diameter of shoots, height of shoots, rooting rate, average number and length of roots by culm cuttings of Thyrsostachys siamensis Gamble Nam Bo were investigated. In this study, the phytohormones used were NAA, IBA and HVP. Cuttings were taken in three positions: near the root (V1), between the stem (V2) and near the tops (V3). The experiment was arranged randomly with 3 replications, with 36 culm cuttings per treatment. The results showed that the groups treated with NAA had highest shooting rate (91.7%) and highest number of shoots per cut (3.39 shoots/cut). The phytohormones did not significantly affect the foot diameter of the shoots but the height of the shoots. The NAA gave highest rooting rate (87.04%) and highest number of roots (8.5 roots/cuttings). The positions on mother stems did not significantly affect the shooting rate, but they significantly affected the number of shoots per cut. The foot diameter of the shoots, the height of the shoots, the rooting rate and the average root length of the cuttings taken between the stems were greater than those of near the root and near the top. In addition, the highest number of roots was observed when cuttings were taken at near the root

Published: September 2021

The effects of changing in composition and adding of coconut oil and milk powder on physical states and rheological properties of cocoa powder/cocoa butter mixtures were investigated. The aim of this study is to keep the product quality at the right temperature and then consumer's acceptance. The viscosity, hardness and the solidification temperature of cocoa powder/cocoa butter mixtures reduced when cocoa butter content increased or cocoa butter was replaced by coconut oil, or cocoa powder was replaced by milk powder. The viscosity (at 31oC and 50oC) significantly decreased in accordance with an increase in cocoa butter (from 40 to 50%), addition of coconut oils (from 10 to 20%) and replacement of cocoa powder by milk powder (from 5 to 10%) by weight. The cutting and breaking hardness of mixtures (at 10oC and 20oC) decreased sharply when the cocoa butter content was more than 50% of the mixture by weight. The solidification temperature of mixtures decreased from 24oC to 20oC when the coconut oil ratio increased from 20% to 40% of mixture weight
