Magneto-sensitive elastomers – materials, fabrication, and characterisation: state of the art
Authors: Kamble Vikram G , Thimmaiah Jagadeesha , Kolekar Shreedhar
Published: June 2024

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a type of material that can be altered by applying an external magnetic field due to their elastic nature. MREs are often created by combining micron-sized magnetic particles into matrices that resemble non-magnetic rubber. This review study analyses the materials, preparation processes, investigation models and application of MREs. The initial phase involves incorporating various elastic-like matrices and magnetic particles for the production of MREs, along with the corresponding preparation methods. Secondly, several examples of MRE microstructures are provided, along with various characterisation methods. The experimental demonstration shows the development of the observable mechanical features of MREs influenced by an external magnetic field. Moreover, it addresses the challenges of MREs and their applications in design domains and speculates on their potential usage.

Authors: Cui Yi-xiang , Hou Tian-shun , Pamukcu Sibel , Niu Yu-xin
Published: June 2024

The dynamic deformation characteristics of lightweight soil were studied using consolidated-undrained dynamic triaxial tests to predict its non-linear stress and strain behaviour under a traffic load. The results showed that the influence of confining pressure on the attenuation of the dynamic shear modulus ratio became significant with increasing expanded polystyrene (EPS) particle content or cement content. The attenuation curve of the dynamic shear modulus ratio was evaluated using Davidenkov model parameters, A, B and γ 0. It was proved that the parameter A was mostly affected by EPS particle content and confining pressure, with its value ranging between 1.1 and 1.85. The parameter γ 0 was affected by cement content and confining pressure, and its value ranged between 0.0007 and 0.0016. The parameter B was found to range between 0.38 and 0.55, in general. The relationship curves between damping ratio and dynamic shear strain revealed two forms, S shaped and bell shaped. The verification tests showed that the Davidenkov model could predict accurately the dynamic deformation characteristics of lightweight soil both under a changing stress state and under constant gradient loading conditions. These results provide a theoretical basis for determining the deformation of a lightweight soil subgrade under a traffic load.

Authors: Balaji Chikkam Ramakrishna , Madurwar Mangesh
Published: June 2024

The study aims to develop Eco epo-seal, ancillary construction material without incorporating conventional materials. Discarded mine waste (DMW), epoxy, Industrial by-products such as Porous Fine Aggregate Like (PFAL) and Iron and Steel Waste (ISW) were employed. A total of 36 compositions were attempted by varying DMW (7–27%), PFAL (37–81%), ISW (0–12%) and epoxy (10–30%). The performance of Eco epo-seal was evaluated as density (1065.2 kg/m3 for B1 to 1763 kg/m3 for W3), water absorption (0.23% for W1 under normal condition to 68.07% for B3 under long-term alkaline condition), porosity (0.0037 for Z3 to 0.479 for A2), compressive strength (2.36 MPa for A3 under normal condition to 39.44 MPa for W1 under long-term alkaline condition), flexural strength (0.41 MPa for Q2 to 15.64 MPa for W1) and ultrasonic pulse velocity (0.8 Km/s for B3 to 2.58 Km/s for W1). Among the raw materials, epoxy content greatly influences the performance in normal condition. On comparing performance under long-term and long-term alkaline conditions with normal condition, compositions with higher epoxy content show improved performance, while lower epoxy content exhibit reduced performance. Multiple linear regression using principal component analysis was employed to model the performance. The porosity, density, water absorption, compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity of Eco epo-seal vary linearly, while flexural strength follows a nonlinear trend. Eco epo-seal is a versatile composite suitable for various civil engineering applications, circular approach adopted is a one-step solution to prevailing waste management issues and positions infrastructure industry as a forerunner in cleaner practices of Industry 5.0.
Effect of temperature on the compressive performance of laminated bamboo lumber
Authors: Li Haitao , Xu Wei , Chen Chen , Yao Lianshu , Corbi Ottavia
Published: June 2024

To investigate the effect of temperature on the compressive performance of laminated bamboo lumber (LBL), 198 specimens were tested in three loading directions (parallel to the grain and perpendicular to the grain in both flatwise and edgewise sections) under exposure to 11 different temperatures in the range −60°C to 200°C. Through the macroscopic failure modes summarised by damage characteristics and microscopic vascular bundles observed by scanning electron microscopy, the failure mechanisms of LBL under different temperatures was analysed. The average compressive strength of the specimens in the three loading directions (parallel, perpendicular flatwise and perpendicular edgewise) at 20°C was 45.07, 12.13 and 10.75 MPa, respectively. The compressive strength in the three directions increased by more than 80% at the lowest temperature (−60°C), while the loss of compressive strength exceeded 70% at the highest temperature (200°C). This was due to thinning of the bamboo cell walls at high temperature, ultimately resulting in the disappearance of the layered structure of cell walls and thus the loss of bearing capacity. An empirical formula was developed to calculate the temperature effect factor for compressive strength varying with temperature.

EPİKÜROS’UN HAZCILIK ÖĞRETİSİNDE ERDEM KAVRAMININ YERİ
Authors: Aktaş Zeki
Published: June 2024

Epiküros Helenistik Dönem hazcılık öğretisinin başlıca temsilcisidir. O, hazzın kendi başına bir iyi olduğu noktasında, Aristippos başta olmak üzere, birçok hazcı filozofla aynı görüştedir ancak mesele hazzın mahiyetini konuşmaya geldiğinde söz konusu filozofların çoğundan ayrılır. Nitekim Epiküros tek türden bedensel hazlar tasnifini yeterli görmemiş ve hazlar arasında niceliksel olanın yanında niteliksel bir sınıflamaya da yer vermiştir. Epiküros’a göre insan yaşamının amacı mutluluktur ve mutlu bir yaşam haz dolu bir yaşamdır, bununla birlikte yaşamın amacı olacak türden bir mutluluğa erişmek anlık doyumlar içeren salt bedensel hazlarla değil, daha çok yaşam boyu sürmesi beklenen kalıcı hazlarla mümkündür. İşte, bu çalışmada Epiküros’un hazcılık öğretisinin sınırlarını çizdiği türden mutlu bir yaşama erişmede erdemlerin rolünün ne olduğu araştırılmıştır. Epiküros erdemlerin mutlu bir yaşamın ayrılmaz bir parçası olduğunu iddia etmiştir ve dahası bu iddia bir yönüyle araştırmacılara Epiküros felsefesinde erdemli bir yaşamın kendi başına bir amaç olup olmadığını düşündürmüştür. Ne var ki Epiküros’un yaşamın nihai amacının mutluluk olduğu iddiası kesin bir dille ortadadır ve bu iddia teorisinin diğer unsurlarını mutluluğa göre araçsal bir konuma indirgemektedir. Dolayısıyla Epiküros’un hazcılık öğretisinde erdemler, kendilerine yüklenen anlam ne kadar güçlü olursa olsun, temelde araçsal bir değere sahiptir.

Authors:   Kyrgyz State University named after I. Arabayev, Zhenishova Suusara , Kenzhebaev Dayyr ,   Kyrgyz State University named after I. Arabayev
Published: June 2024

The relevance of the article is confirmed by the fact that creolized texts are increasingly becoming a vestige of information transmission not only within each individual country, but also at the level of the entire Internet space, thereby creating a risk for the development of an information war between countries. However, it should also be noted that the information transmitted in modern segments of social networks consists, as a rule, of verbal and illustrative parts, and therefore creolized texts often serve as a tool for cooperation between peoples and countries. The article examines the features of the implementation of the stylistic technique of double actualization of meaning in paralinguistically active texts, which are carried out using both verbal and non-verbal components. The main types of double actualization of meaning are highlighted, depending on the participation of paralinguistic means of expression in the creation of this technique. The following research methods were used: structural method, descriptive method, semantic analysis and component analysis method.
ENANTIOSEMIA IN THE WORK "DIVAN LUGAT-AT TURK" BY MAHMUD OF KASHGAR
Authors:   International University Ala-Too, Orozalieva Dilyara
Published: June 2024

This article is, about the work of the great scientist Mahmud Kashgar "Divanu lugat at-Turk" and his contribution to Turkology. The phenomenon of enantioses (contradiction within one word), which has been researched in the field of general linguistics since the 19th- century, is also discussed. In the work of Mahmud Kashgar, this phenomenon was already considered 11 centuries ago, which indicates that the phenomenon was not a discovery of other scientists who dealt with the issue. This also indicates that he was a versatile scientist of his time, and his works are considered a valuable heritage for all Turkic languages. In addition, the conservation, similarities, and differences in the enantiosemic phenomenon noted in Kashgar Mahmud’s dictionary in modern Kyrgyz and Turkish languages were comparatively studied. It is said that the contradiction within one word (enantiosemy) has been mentioned in the thoughts of philosophers since ancient times.

Published: June 2024

Zhoomart Bokonbaev takes very important place in transformation of national folklore stories and the passing fairy stories. He left us artistic legacy in this direction in the form of works such as "Autumn butterfly", "A fox and a partridge", "A lark and a hobby", "A lion and a fox", "A snake and a frog", "A cat and oil", "Strength of the brave is stronger than fortress" and others. The literary fairy tale "Strength of the brave is stronger than fortress" is dedicated to the bloody period of the Great Patriotic War. Through this literary fairy tale the author wanted to inspire, give forces not only to the soldiers leaving on the front, but also remaining in the back. He wanted to tell that the victory can be reached only in case of harmonious actions and unity of two parties. In the work there are lines "When There Is Such Mother, Such Son" which very well describe the above. Reflection of combinations of military subject with folklore traditions is analyzed in this article. The plot of the literary fairy tale "Autumn Butterfly" has something in common with plots of Aesop, La Fontaine and Krylov’s fable "Dragonfly and an ant". "The fox and a partridge", "A lark and a hobby" are based on plots known to the Kyrgyz people. Author’s transformation of these works to a poetic form with saving contents of folklore fairy tales are analyzed in this article. The fairy story of the work "Lion and Fox" is compared to classical artistic legacy of the Indian people “Panchatantra”.

Authors: Martínez-Orea Yuriana , Vázquez-Santos Yasmin , Castillo-Argüero Silvia , Romero-Romero Marco A.
Published: June 2024

Background: Plant species used for reforestation purposes are idoneous if native, and also if they are present in regeneration sources. High germination percentages under different light conditions and a broad phenological pattern enhance adaptability to environmental heterogeneity. Preference for species responsive to mycorrhizal inoculation is recommended.
Questions: Is Solanum pubigerum a widespread species in temperate forests of central Mexico?, under which light conditions germination will be the highest?, how abundant is it in natural regeneration sources?, does inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi benefit its germination and growth?
Studied species / data description / Mathematical model: Solanum pubigerum/distribution in central Mexico forests, germination and viability percentages, reproductive phenology, growth dependence on AM fungi/ Kruskal-Wallis test, synchrony, Spearman correlations, ANOVA.
Study site and dates: Abies religiosa forest, Mexico City. August 2019 – July 2020.
Methods: Seeds of S. pubigerum were exposed to different light qualities, their viability was monitored for two years. Its presence in natural regeneration sources was registered. Reproductive phenology was recorded, and seedlings were inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to assess their growth.
Results: Highest seed germination occurred under white light conditions, with sustained viability after two years. The species was found in the seed bank across seasons, less abundantly in seed rain during the dry season. It exhibited extensive flowering and fruiting patterns. Mycorrhiza inoculation significantly boosted seed germination and growth.
Conclusions: Solanum pubigerum is suitable for reforestation in central Mexico forests due to its high germination percentages and mycorrhizal responsiveness.
Estimating the Total and Regional Body Fat of Physically Active Men Is Not Appropriate for Sedentary Men
Authors: Silalertdetkul Supaporn
Published: June 2024

Objectives. The reliability of predictive body fat equations remains unclear due to their inappropriate use across different subject cohorts and conditions. The objective of this study was to validate and cross-validate equations to predict total and regional body fat in young physically active males.
Material and methods. Three hundred and five young male participants were divided into the following groups: active validation (n=165), active cross-validation (n=70), or sedentary cross-validation ones (n=70). The study used a stratified random sampling based on weekly physical activity level. The total and regional body fat mass were measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) after an overnight fast. Simultaneous measurements of height, body mass, skinfold thickness, body mass index, and body circumferences were taken. The total and regional body fat predictive equations were generated using multiple linear stepwise regression models. The coefficient of determination (R²) and standard error of estimation (SEE) were calculated to examine the accuracy of the predictive equations. Furthermore, cross-validation groups were analysed.
Results. The percentage of total body fat, trunk fat, legs fat, arms fat, and body mass index of active cross-validation were found to be significantly lower than in the sedentary cross-validation groups. The total body fat percentage was highly associated with abdominal skinfold thickness (R=0.68-0.74, P<0.001), body mass index (R=0.55, P<0.001), and suprailiac skinfold thickness (R=0.67-0.71, P<0.001) in the active validation group. The predictive total and regional body fat equations of physically active men showed adjusted R² values ranging from 0.35 to 0.66, with standard error of estimation values between 2.74 to 4.35%. The standard error of estimation for the predictive percentage of total and regional body fat in the active cross-validation group was lower than in the sedentary cross-validation group.
Conclusions. The findings demonstrate that new predictive total and regional body fat equations can be used to accurately estimate body fat in healthy young active males under fast conditions.

Methods: Several results on total regular domination on a litact graph are obtained in the present study, both in terms of different G parameters (vertices, edges, diameter, maximum degree, and many more) and domination parameters (connected domination, total domination, edge domination, and many more). A few fundamental definitions, findings, and the ideas of several dominations parameters have been used in this. Findings: The current study aims to determine some relations between total regular domination on a litact graph and graph s different parameters, and domination parameters. Furthermore, results comparable to Nordhaus-Gaddum's were also established. Novelty: By merging the two distinct parameters total domination and regular domination, a new domination parameter known as total regular domination has been introduced. Using total regular domination on a litact graph, certain results were produced in this study, with respect to various parameters and domination parameters of the original graph G, but not into itself. This type of task has never been completed before. Keywords: Graph, Litact Graph, Total Domination Number, Regular Domination Number, Total Regular Domination Number

Objective: Accurate epilepsy diagnosis demands precise EEG analysis, hindered by non-neuronal artifacts. This study evaluates artifact removal methods, specifically Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), aiming to enhance signal quality. We introduce a hybrid approach, combining ICA and EMD. Methods: ICA and EMD are applied to preprocess epilepsy EEG recordings. Quantitative evaluation metrics, including Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Standard Deviation (SD), are calculated and compared for both methods. Findings: ICA outperforms EMD, showing higher SNR and PSNR, notably in BONN and CHB-MIT datasets. ICA achieves significant reductions in MSE, RMSE, and SD. The hybrid approach surpasses existing methods, supported by quantitative data. Novelty: Rigorous application of ICA and EMD to diverse datasets quantitatively establishes ICA's superiority. The hybrid approach, backed by quantitative evidence, proves effective beyond epilepsy EEG. Conclusion: This abstract provides clear, quantitative support for ICA's superiority and the hybrid approach's efficacy, offering valuable insights into artifact removal in EEG analysis.

Fuzzy Tree t -Spanners of Ratio Labelled Butterfly Network

Published: June 2024

Background/Objectives: The reliability and optimality of a communication system depend on the network that has a minimum distance. The minimum distance is the shortest path between the vertices. Even in error correction codes, the minimum Hamming distance ensures data integrity. Hence to have efficient routing protocols, the network is preferred to be a spanning tree that connects all the nodes of the communication system. As tree t- spanner is the optimization technique in determining minimum spanning tree, finding tree t-spanners of a ratio labelled fuzzy graph for the Butterfly network BF(n) is notion of this study. Methods: This study has introduced a new labelling called Ratio Labelling (RL) for examining the fuzziness in a crisp graph. Using the RL method, the crisp graphs were examined for the admittance of fuzziness and were thereby found, to have a tree t-spanners of ratio labelled fuzzy graphs. Findings: The quality of a network can be measured using the stretch factor of the network. The issues of network survival or link failures in a communication networks can be rectified by approximating the best flow spanner. As the optimal connectivity between the nodes is ensured by interconnection networks, the fuzzy tree t- spanners of undirected fuzzy Butterfly Network BF(n) are examined by labelling the vertices and edges using ratio labelling. The Breadth First Search (BFS) algorithm enhances the process of minimizing the spanning tree for an unweighted graph. Since the edge weightage is unique for all the edges of BF(n) under RL, searching for an edge with minimum weight by Kruskal’s algorithm or Prim’s algorithm are less meaningful. Hence, the BFS algorithm is adopted in finding the spanning tree T of Ratio Labelled BF(n). The bounds for the stretch factor t of a fuzzy tree t- spanner of ratio labelled BF(n) were obtained. Novelty: The literature survey shows that various classes of graphs were examined for the admissibility of tree t-spanners. Finding a tree t-spanner for a fuzzy graph was not found in literature, as per our knowledge. Extending the problem of finding a tree t -spanner of a ratio labelled fuzzy graph is an advancement in the field of fuzzy graphs.
