Regional Indian Movies in Rs.100 Crore Club
Authors: Jose Lydia G.
Published: March 2023

The movie industry in India has a distinctive effect on their audience, which is rather unique when compared to the various influencing kinds of messages that are portrayed through different forms of media. Perceptual immediacy is often viewed in the audiences while they watch a movie or even when a spark is formed in their psyche just by the visuals that they see on a movie poster. And so, while creating a movie or even constructing a movie poster, the ability to make it relevant to the viewers is carefully considered by the creators of this medium. This paper aims to study whether Malayalam movie posters visually construct meaning and whether they can influence the financial success of a film. The sample for this research was three Malayalam movie posters: Pulimurugan, Kayamkulam Kochunni, and Lucifer. The methodological approach for this study was conducted by using Kress and van Leeuwen's visual social semiotic method.

Published: March 2023

This study describes a perspective using non-destructive testing of stress-strain state joints in underwater wet welding and air. High residual stresses after underwater wet welding may be a possible cause of arising corrosion processes and cold cracking in structures. Assessing residual stresses can introduce additional changes in the technological welding process and subsequent reducing stresses. Analysis of application magnetic anisotropy and X-ray diffraction methods are shown for discovering residual tensile stresses after surfacing on high strength steel. Two complementary methods make it possible to determine the magnitude and features of the distribution of residual welding stresses after underwater wet surfacing and air surfacing.
Simulation Based Fluidity and Solidification Analysis of Aluminium-Copper Sand Cast Alloy
Authors: Tripathy Sasmita , Sutradhar Goutam
Published: March 2023

Aluminium-copper alloys are known for their very good strength at high temperature .Addition of copper improves the strength at high temperatures due to precipitation strengthening. Fluidity in casting is the major factor which affects the cast quality of the final components. Addition of Silicon with copper in Aluminium improves fluidity and finally quality of the cast components. But presence of Silicon adversely affects the strength at high temperature. In the present work cooling curve analysis of Al-Cu alloy (without Silicon) is done for different wt% of copper addition. The current study for Al-Cu alloy is based on sand casting method as it is one of the cost effective manufacturing method. Cooling curve obtained from the simulation results used to predict the fluidity, microstructure of the alloy when copper wt% is varied. Predicted microstructure and grain structure from the cooling curve goes well with the microstructure studied from shop floor casting .In the present work “Z-cast” casting simulation software is used for casting simulation. Among three different alloy composition studied aluminium with 8% copper gives the best results when compared on the basis of grain size .But fluidity analysis reveal poor fluidity for the alloy having 8 wt% of copper. The current analysis helps to study the optimum aluminium –copper alloy composition that can be used in high temperature applications.

Published: March 2023

Heavy rainfall information is essential for environmental studies and water engineering. This study therefore aimed to adjust Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) equations for 247 locations in the Rio Grande do Sul (RS) using stationary rainfall series. Mann-Kendall’s test was applied to identify the temporal trends in the Annual Maximum Daily Rainfall (AMDR) series of 271 rain gauges in RS. The Kappa, Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), Gumbel, two-parameters Log-Normal and three-parameters Log-Normal probabilistic distributions were adjusted to the AMDR series without significant temporal trend. The best distribution fit was given by Anderson-Darling’s test, so the AMDR was discretized up to 5 minutes. IDF equations coefficients were adjusted in RStudio, using Nash-Sutcliffe’s Coefficient and the Root-Mean-Square Error to evaluate them. In conclusion: the most suitable distributions for the AMDR were the multiparametric Kappa and GEV; the IDF equations coefficients adjustment was classified as “excellent”; coefficients a and b varied across the RS and are correlated with the AMDR and geographical positions; and the c and d coefficients were practically constant.

Keywords: goodness of fit test, Kappa probabilistic distribution, trends test.

Authors: Huh Youn , Son Ki Young , Lee Ji Eun , Kim Kwang-Il , Cho Belong , Won Chang Won
Published: March 2023

Background: South Korea has no official geriatric specialties or subspecialties. Moreover, studies on the unmet needs related to geriatric health problems in older Korean adults are scarce. Therefore, we investigated the unmet needs regarding geriatric health problems among older Korean adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 411 Korean adults aged ≥70 years. We constructed a questionnaire for a field survey that comprised 21 items to understand the geriatric challenges related to the participants’ physicians and the necessity for geriatric physicians to resolve participants’ health problems. We used unweighted numbers (weighted percentages) or mean±standard deviation to describe the characteristics of the study participants for categorical and continuous variables, respectively.Results: This study included a total of 411 men and women. The mean age was 77.6±5.9 years. Among the participants, 88.6% had one or more chronic diseases (mean number of chronic diseases, 2.0±1.3). Of the participants, 32.8% said that their physicians did not spend enough time addressing their problems and only 24.3% felt that their physicians understood geriatric problems well. Of these, 76.2% (n=313) said that geriatricians were required to fulfill their unmet healthcare needs.Conclusions: The participants reported the need for help from a geriatrician, although most of the participants consulted regular physicians about their health problems. The study results support that geriatricians are needed to improve health services for older adults.

Les bactéries sont à l’origine de réel problème de santé publique à cause de leur implication dans de nombreuses maladies. Leur résistance aux antibiotiques est devenue l’un des problèmes les plus importants dans la lutte contre les maladies infectieuses dans le monde. L’objectif de ce présent travail était de contribuer à la détection de la Shigellose au niveau de la population. Au total, 140 échantillons ont été collectés et examinés entre mai et août 2016 par la méthode de la Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Les résultats ont montré une contamination aux Shigella species et le taux de contamination varie selon les différentes sources d’eaux: 4 (2, 85%); 2 (50%), 1 (25%); 1 (25%), 1 (50%), 1 (25%); 100%; 100%; 1 (25%), 2 (50%), 1 (25%). Ces résultats sont analysés par la méthode statistique directe. Ces contaminations aux Shigella species pourraient être dues à une défaillance dans le respect des bonnes hygiènes et la mauvaise gestion de notre environnement. Par comparaison aux études antérieures, la qualité des différentes sources d’eaux s’est améliorée suite à l’assainissement opéré. Cette avancée doit être préservée à travers des actions de gestion durable des sources d’eaux.

Bacteria are a real public health problem because of their involvement in many diseases. Their resistances to antibiotics have become one of the most important problems in the fight against infectious diseases in the world. The objective of this study was to contribute to the detection of Shigellosis at the population level. A total of 140 samples were collected and examined between May and August 2016 by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. The results showed contamination with Shigella species and the rate of contamination varied among the different water sources: 4 (2, 85%); 2 (50%), 1 (25%); 1 (25%), 1 (50%), 1 (25%); 100%; 100%; 1 (25%), 2 (50%), 1 (25%). These results are analyzed by the direct statistical method. These contaminations with Shigella species could be due to a failure in the respect of good hygiene and the bad management of our environment. Compared to previous studies, the quality of the various water sources have improved as a result of the sanitation work carried out. This progress must be preserved through sustainable management of the water sources.

Published: March 2023

La présente étude a été initiée pour déterminer la dose de compost à base de paille de riz qui optimise le rendement paddy du riz, variété WITA 9, à l’Ouest de la Côte d’Ivoire. Sur la parcelle expérimentale, l’enfouissement du compost (5 t. ha -1, 10 t. ha -1, et 15 t. ha -1) a été effectué dans un dispositif expérimental en bloc complet randomisé avec 04 parcelles élémentaires répétées cinq fois. Installées dans un bas-fond gorgé d’eau, les parcelles ont été repiquées en ligne à l’aide de plants de 15 jours d’âge, issus de la variété de riz WITA 9. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que l’amendement au compost à base de paille de riz améliore significativement la production du riz. Ainsi, avec 5 et 15 t ha-1 de compost enfoui, le rendement en grain a augmenté de 50% par rapport au témoin. L’apport de 5 t ha-1 a favorisé un faible taux de grains stériles, 40 % moins que la dose de 15 t ha-1. En considérant le taux de stérilité et le rendement paddy, la dose de 5 t ha-1 de compost apparaît la plus performante des modalités étudiées.

The present study was initiated to determine the dose of compost based on rice straw that optimizes the paddy yield of rice, variety WITA 9, in the West of Côte d'Ivoire. On the experimental plot, the burial of the compost (5 t. ha -1, 10 t. ha -1, and 15 t. ha -1) was carried out in an experimental device in randomized complete block with 04 elementary plots repeated five time. Installed in a waterlogged lowland, the plots were transplanted in line using 15-day-old plants from the WITA 9 rice variety. The results obtained showed that the compost made from rice straw significantly improves rice production. So, with 5 and 15 t. ha-1 of buried compost, the grain yield increased by 50% compared to the control. The supply of 5 t ha-1 favored a low rate of sterile grains, 40% less than the dose of 15 t. ha-1. Considering the rate of sterility and the paddy yield, the dose of 5 t ha-1 of compost appears to be the most efficient of the methods studied.

Published: March 2023

The production of grafted cashew seedlings in Côte d'Ivoire lasts from four to six months. This causes late transplanting in the field. This study aimed at reducing the production time of grafted cashew plants. The effect of cashew nut morphometric parameters on germination, rootstock vigour and production time of grafted cashew seedlings was evaluated. Four genotypes, characterized by different nut sizes, were used as rootstocks. For sowing, 160 cashew nuts were used. Apical grafting, with semi-woody scions taken from trees of genotype LAX3264, was carried out on the rootstocks. Little variability was found in the length, width and thickness of the nut. On the contrary, the nut weight showed a high variability. Seed germination time was on average 5-8 days after sowing (DAS). The small nuts, from the PK23 genotype, had a long germination time. The production time of the grafted plants, on average 72 days after sowing, for all the genotypes, was shorter than the former production time which was 90 and 120 days. No significant differences were observed between the genotypes.

Published: March 2023

La diarrhée néonatale est la principale cause de maladie chez les veaux. Elle a un impact économique important et représente une voie de contamination majeure pour les eaux et l’environnement. Cette étude a été menée pour identifier les principales bactéries impliquées dans les diarrhées de veaux à Daloa et évaluer leur sensibilité vis-à-vis des antibiotiques. Un total de 35 échantillons dont 22 selles fraîchement émises de veaux diarrhéiques et 13 échantillons de surface ont été analysés. L’identification des souches par la détermination des caractères culturaux et biochimiques et l'évaluation de leur sensililité par l’antibiogramme, ont permis de mettre en évidence les profiles de résistance de ces souches. Le taux de prévalence des E. coli dans les diarrhées de veaux était de 65,63%. Celui des autres enterobacteries (S. marcescens, P. mirabilis et K. oxytoca) était de 12,5%. L’analyse des profiles de résistances a revelé que les souches d'E. coli étaient productrices d'enzymes BLSE ou de céphalosporinases de haut niveau. Des mesures préventives visant à réduire l'utilisation des antibiotiques et une meilleure hygiène permettraient de réduire l'impact de ces maladies.

Neonatal diarrhea is the leading cause of illness in calves. It has an important economic impact and represents a major pathway of contamination for water and the environment. This study was conducted to identify the main bacteria involved in diarrhea in Daloa and to evaluate their sensitivity to antibiotics. A total of 35 samples including 22 freshly passed stools from diarrheic calves and 13 surface samples were analyzed. The identification of the strains by determining the cultural and biochemical characteristics and the evaluation of their susceptibility by antibiogram, allowed to highlight the resistance profiles of these strains. The prevalences rate of E. coli in diarrhea was 65,63%; other enterobacteria (S. marcescens, P. mirabilis and K. oxytoca) prevalence was 12,5%. Analysis of resistance patterns revealed that E. coli strains were producers of ESBL enzymes. Preventive measures to reduce the use of antibiotics and better hygiene would reduce the impact of these diseases.

Published: March 2023

Acacia nilotica is a multipurpose medicinal plant. Different parts of this plant are used to alleviate or treat various diseases. In the current study, an attempt was made to study the cytotoxicity of Acacia nilotica pod extracts towards normal human erythrocytes. The pods of A. nilotica were ground, then three different solvents were used in different ratios to prepare crude extracts, which were screened for in vitro hemolytic activity. UV-visible spectrophotometric method was used for the quantification of the hemolytic effect. The hemolysis percentages of the different extracts were found to be very minimal (Methanol extract: 4.65±0.24%; Ethanol extract: 3.77±0.48% and Aqueous extract: 2.69±0.51%), while Triton X-100 produced total hemolysis at the lowest concentration. These findings suggested that this plant could be considered as safe to human erythrocytes. However, further studies through in vivo toxicological tests should be considered in the future in order to best justify its safety.

Published: March 2023

The Orogodo River is a major source of water for drinking, cooking, bathing, fishing, washing and recreation for the resident community. Apparently, anthropogenic activities threaten the sustainability of this resource, hence, the need for environmental monitoring studies. This study was carried out to investigate heavy metal content and to assess human health risk of Orogodo River vis-a-vis its suitability for human consumption. Water samples were collected from four sampling stations established along the stretch of the river with the upstream station at Site 1, two midstream stations (Sites 2 and 3) and the downstream station being Site 4 and analyzed for seven heavy metals: iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) concentrations using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results obtained from the study showed that the mean values for Fe (2.77±0.00 mg/l) in Site 4, Ni (0.15±0.19 mg/l) in Site 2, Pb (0.05±0.02 mg/l) in Site 3, Mn (0.30±0.30 mg/l) in Site 3 and Cr (0.06±0.03) in Sites 2 and 3 exceeded the Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) maximum permissible limits (Fe: 0.3 mg/l; Ni: 0.02 mg/l; Pb: 0.01 mg/l; Mn: 0.2 mg/l and Cr: 0.05 mg/l) for Nigerian freshwater and thus warranted health risk assessment. Health risk assessment for all sites indicated that with exemptions of Cr (1.33 in Sites 2 and 3 for children), other metals showed no potential health risk, but their cumulative effects as indicated by the hazard index (1.19 and 2.50 for adult and children in Site 2; 1.22 and 2.91 for adult and children in Site 3 and 1.36 for children in Site 4) could be of serious concern. This calls for caution for both adults and children exposed to the water through ingestion and the dire need for enforcement of water resource management regulations by the concerned authorities.

Published: March 2023

As an integral part of the 4th industrial revolution, simulation enables engineers and artisans to evaluate the effectiveness of the product before developing the final one. In South Africa, simulation is promoted to support students to develop artefacts that resemble the actual technological solutions. This study used a qualitative research approach and a case study design to explore teachers’ ability to use design process to promote contemporary psychomotor skills. Four teachers were purposively sampled considering their experiences. Data was collected through questionnaire and semi-structured interviews and analysed against Maria’s Simulation Model and the design process to some extent. The study revealed that teachers were aware of the advantages simulations have in equipping learners with psychomotor skills, however, they did not have means to support students to enact their creative and critical thinking skills. The study recommends a strong pedagogical expertise in dealing with simulations and the design process. Teachers should be conversant with various simulation models and implement them accordingly because technological design process provides effective platform for simulation.

Authors: Ezema N. M. , Adinna B. , Anayo C.
Published: March 2023

This study investigated the feasibility of using agricultural wastes: sugarcane bagasse ash and plantain leaves ash for clay soil stabilization. The sample was mixed using five trial mixes: 0%BA:10%PLA, 3%BA:7%PLA, 5%BA:5%PLA, 7%BA :3%PLA, 10%BA:0%PLA and a control mix. Characterization of these ashes was done using the X-ray fluorescence testing method. Specific gravity, sieve analysis, Atterberg limits, compaction and California bearing ratio tests were also assessed. The clay soil was described as A-7-6 (AASHTO). After X-ray characterization, BA and PLA possessed 61.97% and 28.27% pozzolanic content respectively. From the liquid limit results, on addition of 3%BA :7%PLA, a significant decrease in values of 47.0%, 32.0% and 15.0% to 36.0%, 26.0% and 10.0% for LL, PL and PI was documented. Also, the addition of plantain leaves alone significantly decreases atterberg limit values. For compaction, 3%BA and 7%PLA recorded the least MDD value of 18.44kN/ m3 and peak value of 19.42kN/m3 at 0%BA: 10%PLA. 10%PLA and 10%BA recorded CBR soaked values of 57.8% and 62.1% whilst 7%BA:3%PLA yielded best results of 51.3% CBR soaked values. These findings reveal significant improvements in strength and index properties of the clay soil. In conclusion, bagasse ash and plantain leaves ash produce an eco-friendly stabilizer that can be utilized as subbase material in the stabilization of clay soils

Published: March 2023

Purpose: This study examines the current situation and characteristics of reshoring, manufacturers return to Japan from their production bases that have been relocated abroad amid increased instability in the global supply chain due to factors such as COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This study tried to figure out what kind of reshoring business attraction support policies are being deployed by the central government or local governments in Japan. Also the author tried to derive what implications these support policies have for Korea.
Research design, data, and methodology: This study collects and analyzes the contents of previous research papers related to the Japanese government’s support system for attracting reshoring companies, statistical data from research institutes, press releases from media companies, and homepages of local governments regarding reshoring of Japanese manufacturing companies.
Results: The Japanese government has executed various support policies at the central and local governments level to turn reshoring manufacturing companies into opportunities to contribute to the country’s economic regeneration and local growth, resulting in more than 500 companies returning to Japan annually in recent years. These results had the effect of creating new jobs in various parts of Japan, and the increase in local governments’ tax revenues led to the revitalization of the local economy.
Implications: In order to induce a successful return to Korea for manufacturers wishing to reshor, policies that can provide unconventional incentives such as smart factory construction, R&D support, and corporate tax cuts for reshoring companies should be reviewed and prepared.

Among all hospitalizations of children with acute enteral infection (AEI), 20 to 60% are associated with rotavirus infection (RVI). The high intensity of the spread of the epidemic process and mortality from RVI indicates to the need for vaccination.
Aim: to assess the state of vaccination and study the clinical and etiological structure of RVI in children in-patients in the city of Krasnodar.
Materials and methods. There was performed the single-stage retrospective analysis of 505 case histories of acute AEI 0–
18 years children (boys/girls: 267/238) admitted to the Children’s City Clinical Hospital in Krasnodar (2020). The state of vaccination (2013–2020) was studied on the base of the vaccination center in the Children’s City Clinical Hospital in Krasnodar.
Results. The number of immunized 6552 increased from 10 (2013) to 1460 (2020). Vaccination coverage in 2020 was 5.9% of the target cohort. Less than 1% of adverse events after immunization have been reported. In the AEI structure, 140 cases of RVI (27.7%) were registered: mono-RVI 50 (35.7%), mixed-RVI 90 (64.3%). Mixed-RVI included noro-RVI (67.9% cases), noro-adeno-RVI (17.8%), adeno-RVI (3.3%), salmonella-noro-RVI (3.3%), salmonella-RVI, salmonella-noro-adeno-RVI, campylobacteria-noro-RVI (2.2%) and escherichio-RVI (1.1%). The age structure of the Republic of Ingushetia was dominated by children under 1 year — 59.3%,
1–3 years old — 21.4%, 4–6 years old — 7.2%, 7–18 years old — 12.1%. Mono-RVI occurred in the form of gastroenteritis in moderate (78%) and severe (22%) forms with varying degrees of dehydration (stage I — 74%, stage II — 4%, stage III — 22%). Mixed RVI occurred in the form of gastroenteritis 80 (88.9%) and enterocolitis 10 (11.1%) in moderate (81%) and severe (19%) forms with stage I exsicosis (63%), II Art. (18%), III Art. (19%). Among all hospitalized children, none were as vaccinated against RVI.
Conclusion. The high intensity of the spread of the epidemic process in RVI indicates the need for vaccination.

In one thousand three hundred thirty four children under 3 years of age with traumatic brain injury (TBI) CT was performed on a 128-slice Philips Ingenuity CT scanner; in 707 (53%) in the first 6 hours, in 254 (19%) — after 6 hours, but during the first 24 hours, in 205 (15%) children within 3 days and in 168 (13%) children later on 3 days after injury. Scanning of the area of interest (head + cervical spine) was made with the maximum possible reduction in parameters to minimize the radiation dose. Contrast was not used in children from 0 to 3 years of age with TBI. Post-processing included isotropic multi-planar reformatted (MPR) and 3D images.
Results. Of the 1334 children examined, 730 were boys and 604 were girls. In 448 (33.58%) children, fractures of the skull bones were diagnosed, in 366 (81.7%) of them, fractures were combined with intracranial injuries. Fractures of the skull base were in 83 (18.52%) of 448 children. In 65% (n = 54) of cases, basal fractures were combined with fractures of the temporal bones, 31.5%
(n = 17) of these children had liquorrhea. Fractures of the anterior fossa (12% of the total number of fractures of the base of the skull) of the base of the skull or fronto-basal fractures were accompanied by additional fractures of the orbits and/or other bones of the facial skull in 56.6% of cases. Fractures of the middle cranial fossa were diagnosed in 54 (65%) children. Fractures of the posterior cranial fossa were found in 19 (23%) of 83 children. In addition to fractures of the bones of the base of the skull, 32 (38.6%) children were diagnosed with fractures of the bones of the vault and intracranial injuries.
Conclusion. The use of multiplanar reformation and 3D reconstruction increased the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing skull base fractures in children compared to conventional axial CT. The essential advantages of using 3D reconstruction are the availability of the technique, the absence of additional scanning time and radiation exposure.

Introduction. One of the urgent problems of modern pediatrics is the risk of developing vascular complications in children, among which thrombosis is not uncommon. For early diagnosis and thromboprophylaxis of strokes and other vascular complications, the identification of thrombogenic risk factors is indicated.
The purpose of the study. Based on the screening, to establish predictors of thrombogenic risk in children living in urban and rural areas of the Altai Territory for the timely prevention of vascular complications.
Materials and methods. The results of a screening study of two hundred seventeen aged 12–17 years children living in the city of Barnaul, Zarinsk and Klyuchevsk districts of the Altai Territory, were analyzed. Screening examination of children without signs of thrombosis and bleeding was carried out at an outpatient appointment with a pediatrician in random sampling. The questionnaire included questions to clarify the family thrombotic history, personal thrombotic history, background somatic diseases. Clinical examination was performed for all interviewed patients.
Results. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that in 65 (30%) of the 217 children surveyed, the closest relatives had thrombogenic risk factors, such as heart attacks, strokes, hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD). After analyzing the personal thrombotic history, it was found that in the general group of patients, myocardial infarction was observed in 2 (0.9%) children. Strokes were noted in 5 (2.3%) respondents, and thrombosis and TIA in 2 (0.9%) subjects. When analyzing the results, it was found that a significant proportion of children had the following conditions, such as vegetative-vascular dystonia (VVD) of the hypertensive type, the presence of signs of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD), smoking, obesity.
Conclusion. According to screening data in children, the main predisposing factors in the development of thrombosis, strokes and heart attacks are a burdened family, thrombotic history, the presence of some somatic diseases. The combination of these factors justifies the need for additional examination for the prevention of vascular thrombosis.

Inundate and Deluge-Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
Authors: Bajaj Anubha
Published: March 2023

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is categorized into congenital, genetic or primary and acquired or secondary subtypes. Immune activation with consequent hyper-cytokinemia induces histiocytic infiltration within reticuloendothelial organs along with hemophagocytosis of erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets and precursor cells. Untreated primary and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is invariably associated with disease associated mortality. However, adoption of contemporary therapeutic protocols document 5 year survival rates of ~ 54%. Familial or primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a progressive, autosomal recessive condition characteristically occurring within young age. The disorder exemplifies decimated NK cell function and frequently detected mutations within perforin gene.

Authors: Dutta Barnojjwal
Published: March 2023

Objectives: This article’s objective was to assess the reciprocating single-file systems Reciproc Blue 25.08 and Prodesign R 25.06’s cyclic and torsion fatigue resistance.

Materials and Methods: The systems Reciproc Blue R25 (RB #25.08 taper), Prodesign R (PDR #25.06 taper), and WaveOne Gold (WOG #25.07 taper) (n = 20) were utilized to make sixty reciprocating instruments. The period to breakdown in an artificial stainless-steel canal with a 60° angle of curvature and a 5-mm radius was measured during cyclic fatigue resistance testing (n = 10). The torque and angle of rotation at failure of new instruments (n = 10) were assessed during the torsional test (ISO 3630-1) in the area 3 mm from the tip. Scanning electron microscopy was also used to view each fragment’s shattered surface (SEM).

Results: Cycle Fatigue Resistance scores for PDR 25.06 were much higher (P 0.05). Both WOG 25.07 and RB 25.08 showed less resistance to fatigue (P 0.05). Based on the torsional analysis, PDR 25.06 had weaker torsional strength (P 0.05). No changes were found with RB 25.08 and WOG 25.07 (P > 0.05). PDR 25.06 showed higher angular rotation values than RB 25.08 and WOG 25.07. (P 0.05). Greater angular rotation was seen in both WOG 25.07 and RB 25.08. (P 0.05). The cross-sectional area analysis revealed that PDR 25.06 had the smallest cross-sectional areas at 3 and 5 mm from the tip (P 0.05).

Conclusion: In comparison to RB 25.08 and WOG 25.07, PDR 25.06 had the highest cyclic fatigue resistance and angular rotation until fracture. Additionally, torsional strength was higher in RB 25.08 and WOG 25.07 than PDR 25.06. Clinical applicability.

Avaliação da qualidade de distribuição de sementes em função da velocidade de trabalho por meio do controle estatístico de processo
Authors:   , Silva Victória Viana
Published: March 2023

A distribuição de sementes é uma das características da semeadura que mais influenciam no estande de plantas e consequentemente na produtividade das culturas, por esse motivo é importante que haja estudos dos fatores que possam afetar a qualidade da distribuição de sementes. Sendo assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho analisar a qualidade da distribuição de sementes em função de diferentes velocidades de semeadura, por meio do controle estatístico de processo. Para isso, foram montados dois experimentos, um com feijão e outro com soja, com o esquema de parcelas subdivididas no delineamento inteiramente casualizado com três repetições, onde foi realizado o ensaio com uma semeadora-adubadora pneumática para a avaliação da distribuição longitudinal de sementes, com a medição de 250 espaçamentos entre sementes no campo, nas velocidades de semeadura de 5, 8 e 10 km h -1 . Além disso, foi verificada a uniformidade da distribuição de sementes entre as linhas de semeadura. Assim, com os dados obtidos foram determinados o espaçamento médio entre sementes, o número de sementes por metro linear, o coeficiente de variação dos espaçamentos entre sementes, a classificação dos espaçamentos em aceitáveis, falhos e duplos e o índice de precisão de semeadura. Por fim, foram elaborados histogramas e cartas de controle para verificar a estabilidade do processo de semeadura nas diferentes velocidades. As linhas de semeadura não apresentaram efeito significativo sobre a distribuição longitudinal das sementes de feijão e soja, porém, a velocidade de operação apresentou efeito significativo sobre o coeficiente de variação dos espaçamentos entre sementes de feijão e sobre a distribuição longitudinal das sementes de soja. Para a cultura da soja, o acréscimo da velocidade de semeadura proporcionou o aumento dos espaçamentos falhos, dos espaçamentos entre sementes e do seu coeficiente de variação, além da redução do número de sementes por metro linear e dos espaçamentos aceitáveis. Para o feijão, o incremento da velocidade ocasionou o aumento do coeficiente de variação dos espaçamentos entre sementes. O índice de precisão de semeadura do feijão apresentou maiores porcentagens com o aumento da velocidade, e para a soja foi encontrado o maior índice na semeadura a 8 km h -1 , seguido das velocidades de 10 e 5 km h -1 . Em todos os casos o índice de precisão de semeadura se mostrou satisfatório por estar abaixo de 29%. Para ambas as culturas, a semeadura em todas as velocidades não estava sob controle estatístico, porém a variabilidade das observações reduziu com a diminuição da velocidade, de modo que a semeadura na velocidade de 5 km h -1 apresentou menor variabilidade, tendo melhor desempenho. Assim, com o aumento da velocidade foi reduzida a uniformidade da distribuição de sementes e consequentemente a qualidade do processo de semeadura. Palavras-chave: Uniformidade de distribuição de sementes. Velocidade de semeadura. Controle estatístico de processo.
