METABOLIC RATES (SMR, RMR, AMR, AND MMR) OF Oplegnathus fasciatus ON DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY SETTINGS
Authors: Prakoso Vitas Atmadi , Chang Young Jin
Published: August 2018

The metabolic rate of aquatic animals is closely related to oxygen concentration and influenced by internal and external factors. Despite its high value as marine fish species in South Korea, information on rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus metabolism is scarcely available. This study observed the standard metabolic rate (SMR), routine metabolic rate (RMR), and active metabolic rate (AMR) of rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus subjected to different temperature settings. Another observation was performed to find out the maximum metabolic rate (MMR) on rock bream subjected to different salinity settings. Fish (TL: 26.86 ± 0.29 cm and BW: 469.40 ± 38.21 g for SMR, RMR, and AMR measurement; TL: 26.7 ± 0.4 cm and BW: 451.0 ± 44.4 g for MMR measurement) were observed using respirometer (dimension = 30 cm × 20 cm × 20 cm; volume: 10.4 L) inside a recirculation systems. SMR, RMR, and AMR were measured at 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C. Meanwhile, MMR was measured at 15, 25, and 35 psu. The results showed that SMR, RMR, and AMR increased linearly by increasing the temperatures (SMR: 58.7 ± 3.2, 102.7 ± 4.3, and 157.1 ± 4.1 mg O2/kg/h at 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C, respectively; RMR: 66.0 ± 8.6, 112.6 ± 10.2, and 175.2 ± 21.3 mg O2/kg/h at 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C, respectively; AMR: 73.4 ± 7.4, 122.0 ± 6.3, and 196.7 ± 15.4 mg O2/kg/h at 15°C, 20°C, and 25°C, respectively), whilst MMR decreased by lowering salinity (48.5 ± 5.2, 61.1 ± 5.5, and 89.3 ± 14.7 mg O2/kg/hour at salinity of 15, 25, and 35 psu, respectively).

Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif dan disajikan dalam bentuk grafik dan tabel. Dari tiga siklus budidaya menunjukkan bahwa bibit rumput laut hasil kultur jaringan memiliki performa pertumbuhan, produksi, dan kandungan agar yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan bibit rumput laut lokal dengan perbedaan masing-masing 12,1%; 17,8%; dan 6,7%. Pertumbuhan tertinggi terjadi pada siklus kedua, sedangkan kandungan agar tertinggi terjadi pada siklus ketiga baik pada bibit hasil kultur jaringan maupun bibit lokal. Bibit rumput laut Gracilaria sp. hasil kultur jaringan dapat dijadikan alternatif sumber bibit yang berkualitas.This study was aimed to evaluate the performance of G. verrucosa seaweed seed produced from tissue culture and cultivated at the seaweed production center in Murante Village Suli District Luwu Regency South Sulawesi in 2014. The seeds were cultivated for three production cycles, with each cycle lasted for 40 days. The first culture period was conducted in 1.2 ha, the second in 2 ha, and the third in 4 ha of pond areas. The treatments consisted of two different seaweed seed sources, i.e: tissue cultured seaweed seed and local seaweed as a control. The seaweed stocking density used was 1.000 kg/ha cultivated using broadcast method. The daily growth rate (DGR) and biomass as production indicators were measured at the initial and the end of the culture period. The agar yield was measured after harvest. The data were analyzed descriptively and presented in graphical visualization and data tabulation. The present study showed that tissue cultured seaweed had a higher performance in terms of growth, biomass production, and agar yield with the values of 12.1%, 17.8%, and 6.7%, respectively, than that of the local seedling. The highest DGR was produced at the second cycle, and the highest agar yield was measured at the third cycle for both of seaweed seedlings. Given this result, tissue cultured seaweed can be an alternative source of quality seeds.

Authors: Vuggumudi Sreelatha , Paramasivan Alagusundaramoorthy
Published: August 2018

The main objective of the research reported in this paper was to predict the effectiveness of carbon-fibre-reinforced-polymer composite wrapping on a prototype reinforced concrete column with a large aspect ratio and without any shape modification under combined loading. Six rectangular columns with aspect ratio greater than 2 were cast, strengthened with composite wrapping without chamfering the corners, and tested up to collapse under axial, lateral and combined axial and lateral loadings. The load–deflection behaviour, failure load, modes of failure, increase in capacity and post-peak behaviour were obtained. The test results demonstrated that the load-carrying capacity of composite-strengthened columns with aspect ratios greater than 2 was enhanced by 38, 27 and 29% under axial, lateral and combined axial and lateral loading, respectively compared with the corresponding control columns. The confining effect of the wrapping was achieved before the concrete reached its crushing strain.
A numerical approach to modelling biodegradable vertical drains
Authors: Nguyen Thanh Trung , Indraratna Buddhima , Rujikiatkamjorn Cholachat
Published: August 2018

Because of their distinct features such as biodegradability and favourable engineering properties, naturally occurring materials including jute and coconut fibres have been used increasingly in numerous geoengineering applications in recent years. However, these materials can sometimes decompose rapidly when subjected to adverse environmental conditions, resulting in severe degradation of their engineering characteristics and consequently causing damage to the design target. This paper presents a numerical approach where the finite-element method (FEM) is used to estimate the influence that the degradation of natural fibre drains can have on soil consolidation. A subroutine which can describe the reduction in drain discharge capacity over time is incorporated into the FEM model. Different cases including those varying the rate and time-dependent form of biodegradation are examined in this paper. The results of this investigation indicate that the dissipation of excess pore pressure can be hampered significantly if drains decay too early and speedily, particularly when the discharge capacity falls below 0·03 m3/d. Different rates of decay can impose different consolidation responses in the surrounding soft soil. Application of the proposed FEM to compare with laboratory data indicates an acceptable agreement between the predictions and the measurements.
Analysis of rigid pavements on ground improved by geosynthetics and stone columns
Authors: Murakonda Pavani , Maheshwari Priti
Published: August 2018

Stone columns and geosynthetics have been widely used as effective stabilisation techniques to improve the load–settlement response of foundations. In view of this, an analysis of rigid pavements resting on geosynthetic-reinforced granular bed–stone column improved subgrade soil has been carried out. A detailed idealisation of the problem has been done using elements of Kelvin–Voigt body, Pasternak shear layer and Winkler springs, respectively, to simulate the behaviour of subgrade soil, granular fill and stone columns. A non-linear constitutive relationship for these elements has been considered. Governing differential equations for the soil–pavement system have been developed by modelling the geosynthetic as a rough elastic membrane and the pavement as a thin plate. These equations have been written in their finite-difference form and solved using the lower–upper (LU) decomposition method with the help of appropriate boundary conditions. A detailed parametric study to depict the influence of various factors affecting the pavement behaviour has been carried out. Quantitative evaluation of this influence has been done to enable the deflection and bending moment in the pavement and the tension mobilised in the geosynthetic layer to be obtained.

Published: August 2018

Cold-formed hollow sections have a lower resistance capacity than hot-rolled profiles due to their welded seams. However, using design codes for such sections usually leads to an uneconomical and conservative structural design for compressive members. A series of numerical analyses was carried out to understand and evaluate the performance of standard and concrete-filled cold-formed columns. A numerical model was developed and calibrated against experiments, considering residual stresses, initial geometric imperfections and material properties. The developed numerical model was able to represent the experimental results accurately in terms of failure mode, deformed shape and compressive resistance. Based on the results, an alternative buckling curve is proposed for plain steel and steel–concrete composite columns. This design curve was determined from the results of a parametric study and led to the use of new values of the imperfection factor and initial non-dimensional slenderness for the Eurocode design procedure. A reliability index was also evaluated to estimate the scope and validity of the proposed curve.
Lateral friction demand on roads with coincident horizontal and vertical sag curves
Authors: Tavassoli Kallebasti Behrouz , Abdi Kordani Ali , Mavromatis Stergios , Boroomandrad Sid Mohammad
Published: August 2018

Rural highway crash analyses have shown that the majority of accidents occur on horizontal curves where the vehicle is exposed to lateral forces, which increase the probability of skidding. Moreover, in cases of compound alignments where curves from the road's horizontal alignment are overlaid with constant grades or vertical curves, the probability of skidding increases due to the increase of the longitudinal force on the vehicle. In this research, by utilising vehicle multi-body simulation modelling, several scenarios are defined to assess the impact when horizontal curves are combined with vertical sag curves for three different kinds of vehicles (sedan, sports utility vehicle and truck). For various speed values, the maximum lateral friction demand between the road surface and vehicle tyres is calculated. Finally, by using regression analysis, a model is presented according to the inputs and outputs of the simulation modelling to determine the maximum lateral friction demand created in various conditions. The results of this research indicate that the maximum lateral friction between the road surface and vehicle occurs when the lower part of the sag vertical alignment is located in the middle of horizontal curve.
Border vacuum: a study of walkability, liveability and vibrancy around Dubai mall station
Authors: Mushtaha Emad , Al-Zwaylif Samar , Merabti Fatima , Hanane Ibtissam
Published: August 2018

Dubai is a city of rapid urban changes, and superlative architecture. These non-incremental urban changes tend to leave large urban areas unexplored. Dubai metro line and its surrounding area is one of these sites that can be classified under Jane Jacobs' border vacuum. In this study, the authors take on the challenge of transforming a wasted area that is acting as an urban divider and turning it into a walkable, liveable and vibrant public space. This is done through two methods; one is a survey of users that focused on the measures of walkability, liveability and vibrancy. The other one is an urban design analysis of the site's urban morphology and prospects. Urban designers must acknowledge all three measures considered here in order to design context relevant and vibrant spaces.

Morbidity and mortality associated with emergency obstetric hysterectomy: a three year retrospective study in a tertiary care centre of India
Authors: . Swati , . Vineeta , Aslami Ahmad Nadeem
Published: August 2018

Background: Emergency obstetric hysterectomy (EOH) continues to remain an important life saving procedure in the era of modern obstetrics. EOH acts as a near miss marker as a proxy for maternal mortality. The objective of this study was to analyze 52 EOH done in a tertiary care centre of Ajmer, Rajasthan, India.Methods: A retrospective study was done using hospital records of 52 EOH done in a three year period in the Department of Obstetric and Gynaecology, LNJ Medical College, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India.Results: The incidence of obstetric hysterectomy was 1.25 in 1000 deliveries. The average age of the patients was 27.8 years. Most common reason for EOH was post partum haemorrhage (PPH). 86.5% patients went under subtotal hysterectomies. Several complications occurred in these patients, severe anemia being most common. 28.8% patients died after the operations. More than half patients delivered a live baby while 40.4% had still births.Conclusions: EOH is a life saving procedure. The outcome depends on timely decision and apt clinical judgement because delay can lead to high maternal as well as infant mortality.
The need to grow, learn and develop – how does management affect motivation for professional development?
Authors: Johannessen Hilde Terese Drivenes
Published: August 2018

This article argues that knowledge management and social recognition is important for organisational learning and professional self-esteem in academic libraries. An anonymous survey was issued in 2016 to investigate how library staff’s self-esteem is affected by how they experience their management’s view and overview of their knowledge. The need for what Axel Honneth refers to as social recognition will also be discussed as an important part of how professional self-esteem and work satisfaction is experienced and further how this affects motivation to participate in professional development.

Objetivo: avaliar o cenário de fluoretação em um município do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, desde sua implantação até os dias atuais. Material e Métodos: foram coletadas amostras de água de 2011 a 2017, em 21 localidades da cidade, analisadas pelo método eletrométrico e classificadas com base nas concentrações nacionais recomendadas de flúor. Resultados: de um total de 2.297 amostras coletadas, apenas 688 (29,95%) estavam dentro da faixa recomendada (0,65-0,94 ppmF), com concentrações variando de 0,00 a 1,92 ppmF e com uma concentração média de 0,41 ppmF. Durante o período de avaliação, observou-se que os locais mais próximos da região central da cidade eram constantemente fluoretados e a maioria das amostras estava de acordo com os parâmetros recomendados pelo CECOL-USP. Por outro lado, nos bairros periféricos, as amostras foram consideradas subfluoretadas, o que pode resultar em ineficácia na prevenção da doença cárie. Conclusão: o município apresentou uma deficiência clara na manutenção dos níveis de flúor em concentrações adequadas, o que reforça a relevância do controle dessa medida como parte de uma ação de vigilância contínua na atenção à saúde bucal.
Comparative Evaluation of the Quality Of Life Of Patients after the Pressible-Transparent Cholecismostomy аnd "Traditional" Cholecismostomy with Thermal Mucoclasion of the Gold Bubble

Relevance. The number of elderly patients with acute cholecystitis is constantly increasing, in spite of the success achieved in the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The possibilities for radical treatment of patients with high operational anesthesia risk are substantially limited.

The aim of the study was to conduct comparative analysis of the quality of life of patients after transcutaneous-transhepaticmicrocholecystostomy and traditional cholecystostomy with thermal mucoclasia of the gallbladder.

Materials and methods. The quality of life of 31 patients with high operational anesthesia risk following transcutaneous-transhepaticmicrocholecystostomy (TTMC) and traditional cholecystostomy with thermal mucoclasia of the gallbladder (TCTMG), was studied. All patients were divided into two groups: the first group consisted of 20 (64.5%) patients who underwent TTMC, the second one included 11 (35.5%) patients who underwent TCTMG. Quality of life of patients was studied with the help of the questionnaire using the SF-36 Health Status Survey 4 months after TTMC or TCTMG. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using the program Microsoft Office Excel -2013.

Results and its discussion. The physical component of health (physical functioning, role functioning due to physical condition, pain intensity, general health) was 64.25% higher in patients of Group II than in patients of Group I (p = 0.001), and the psychological Health component (mental health, role functioning due to emotional state, social functioning, vital activity) was also (68.05%) higher in Group II (p = 0.004).

 

Conclusions. The use of the method of thermal mucoclasia of the gallbladder in patients with high operational anesthesia risk allows to achieve higher quality indices compared to patients who underwent TTMC, since after demucotization of the gallbladder cavity it is obliterated due to hyperplasia of the connective tissue of the lamina propria or submucosa, thereby finally solving the problem of acute cholecystitis in this category of patients.

Relevance. The prevalence of cholelithiasis  increases with age and reaches 25-30% in elderly and senile patients [1]. The "golden standard" of surgical intervention for acute cholecystitis, by right, is considered to be video-laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but with severe concomitant pathology, video-laparoscopic cholecystectomy is limited. Even with the "open" cholecystectomy in patients older than 60 years, lethality is 5-10 times higher than in young people [4]. In connection with this, an alternative method of treatment of OX in patients of older age groups was proposed - thermal mucoclasiа of the gallbladder.

Aim. To carry out complex analysis of the results of laboratory and ultrasound methods of clinical examination in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) depending on two main types of surgical treatment: video laparoscopic cholecystectomia or thermal mucoclasia of a gall bladder.

Materials and methods. The results of the red and white blood counts, the assessment of biochemical blood parameters, immune markers and the outcomes of ultrasound examination of the gall bladder before operation and after different periods following this treatment were analyzed in elderly patients who were admitted urgently to the surgical units of the Kursk city hospitals.

Results and its discussion. In patients who underwent traditional cholecystostomy with the thermal mucoclasia lower values of erythrocytes, hemoglobin and general protein levels were detected demonstrating the presence of anemia. In this group the secondary immunodeficiency with alterations of the T-cell immunity was noted. These changes are most probably related to aging since the average age of these patients was about 10 years more than in the VLHE group. Patients who were operated by VLHE were admitted to hospitals with more pronounced changes of biochemical blood parameters, i.e. with higher levels of bilirubin, ACT, ALT and amylase.

Conclusions. The results of the present study can be used for the choice of the surgical operation and for the pre-operatory treatment of elderly patients with acute cholecystitis.

kullanılan 75g oral glukoz tolerans testini (OGTT) yaptırmasında etkili olan
faktörleri incelemeyi amaçladık.Gereç
ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya
Düzce Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi antenatal takip polikliniğine baş
vuran ve GDM taraması için 75 g OGTT yaptırmayı kabul
eden 129 ve GDM taraması için 75 g OGTT yaptırmayan 133 olmak üzere toplam 262
gebe dahil edildi. Gebelerin demografik özellikleri, eğitim düzeyleri ve gelir
seviyeleri araştırıldı.Bulgular: OGTT
yapılan grupta GDM sıklığı %7.9’du (n=10). OGTT
yaptıran grupta VKİ daha yüksekti ve gruplar arasındaki fark istatistiksel
olarak anlamlıydı (29.17 ± 5.67 vs. 26.93 ± 4.02; p= 0.003). Gruplar eğitim seviyeleri
açısından karşılaştırıldığında, OGTT yaptıran grupta yalnızca
okur-yazar olan gebelerin oranı daha yüksekti (8.5% vs. 0; p=0.004). OGTT
yaptırmayan grupta bunun en sık nedeni 57.8% 
oranında testin bebeğe zarar vereceği endişesiydi (n=77), ikinci
sıklıkta bu testin özellikle görsel medyada yer alan bazı sağlık personelleri tarafından önerilmemesi geliyordu (30.8%,
n=41).

Sonuç: Son
yıllarda gebelerin GDM taraması için OGTT yaptırma oranları düşmektedir. Bunun
başlıca nedenleri arasında özellikle görsel medyada var olan bilgi kirliliği ve
gebelerin sağlık personeli tarafından yeterinde
bilgilendirilmemesi gösterilebilir. Bu nedenle sağlık bakımını sağlayan tüm
paydaşlar tarafından prekonsepsiyonel dönemden başlayarak gebelik esnasında
halkın yanlış bilgi edinmesinin önüne geçecek programlar ortaya koymalı ve bu konudaki bilgi kirliliğinin ortadan kaldırılmalıdır.

Published: August 2018

Objective: We have studied the effects of neurotrophin-4 (NT-4)
different doses on the pain levels of streptozocin-induced diabetic rats.

Methods: Thirty-five 3-week-old male rats were used. After
induction of diabetes in rats with streptozocin (nearly 4 weeks); diabetic
animals were divided into 4 groups. The first group; healthy control group (n =
15 ), the second group; diabetic control group ( n = 10 ), the third group; low
dose (0.3 mg/ kg ) recombinant human NT-4 was applied ( n = 4 ) and the fourth
group; high dose recombinant human NT-4 was applied (n = 6).

Results: In the low-dose NT-4 group, the pain threshold values
did not differ from the diabetic control and healthy control groups. In the
high dose NT-4 group, a rise was observed in the pain threshold values of hot
plate in comparison with the healthy control group, diabetic control group and
low dose applied group and this rise reached at the level of statistical
significance (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Neurotrophic factors (neurotrophin-4) have been shown
to be effective on painful diabetic neuropathy in streptozocin-induced diabetic
rats. However, there is a need for larger-scale and longer-term studies for
clinical use.

Penetapan Tersangka pada Peradilan Koneksitas dalam Perkara Tindak Pidana Korupsi
Authors: Mawarni Yusnita
Published: August 2018

Corruption is a criminal act, not only committed by civilians, but also by military members. Members of the military utilize procedural law called connectivity, in which cases are examined through the mechanism of connectivity. Neglecting the mechanism of connectivity results in uncertain legal implementation. The arrangement of the existing connectivity mechanism within the legislation includes the establishment of a permanent team: public court officials and military court officials whose implementation is considered complicated. While one official’s handling of cases would be considered corrupt, they instead commit the act of splitsing (the separated settlement of the case). The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), as an institution, has the authority to control and coordinate corruption criminal cases. In the case of a criminal act of connectivity, related to corruption cases handled by KPK investigators and military investigators, although it may not be examined through the mechanism of connectivity, it is still valid because the determination of the suspect on the offender is based on sufficient initial evidence. Yet, this connectivity mechanism is necessary so that the examination of the case will be a set of intact connectivity, stated in the legislation that regulates the handling of the crime of connectivity in order to sustain justice for all parties.

This work presents a hypothesis concerning the motives of the difficulties faced by contemporary phonological theories – including those that adopt a dynamic theoretical primitive – in setting theirselves free from the atomic, static and discrete conception of sign. For such, a retrospection of this conception’s antecedents and its relations with the development of the ‘sounds of speech’ sciences was attempted. At the end of the work, the conceivable consequences of adopting a dynamic theoretical primitive in writing systems studies were raised.
Os precursores filosóficos da teoria cognitiva das metáforas
Authors: Schröder Ulrike
Published: August 2018

No seu livro “Wie Metaphern Wissen schaffen” (“Como metáforas criam conhecimento”), o lingüista Olaf Jäkel dedica-se a uma sistematização e reformulação da teoria cognitiva das metáforas, fundada pelos norte-americanos George Lakoff e Mark Johnson. Neste contexto, ele também remete-se a algumas teorias precursoras de outras áreas, dentre elas, ao pensamento de Immanuel Kant, que implica muitas semelhanças principalmente quanto aos elementos básicos da lingüística cognitiva em geral, embora Lakoff e Johnson recusem a teoria kantiana globalmente, por suspeitá-la objetivista. O presente artigo tem como objetivo, depois de ter resumido as caraterísticas essenciais da teoria cognitiva das metáforas, sintetizada por Jäkel, a apresentação de três linhas filosóficas nas quais encontram-se observações sobre metáforas que antecipam a teoria de Lakoff e Johnson: a filosofia da língua/a crítica da língua, a filosofia kantiana e a filosofia fenomenológica de Hans Blumenberg.

Published: August 2018

C.S.Peirce desenvolveu, por mais de 40 anos, entre 1865 e 1911, baseado em uma teoria lógica-fenomenológica de categorias, diversas “classificações de signos”. Estas classificações tem atraído e desafiado, por décadas, gerações de pesquisadores e muitas comunidades de linguistas e semioticistas. O propósito deste artigo é apresentar, introdutoriamente, uma de suas mais elaboradas classificações – as dez classes de signos.

A criança e a prosódia: uma retrospectiva e novos desenvolvimentos
Authors: Scarpa Ester Mirian
Published: August 2018

This is a retrospective of my former work on the acquisition of prosody and specifically the role of the double face of prosody in acquisition is revisited. Also revisited are the notions of discontinuity and continuity by Jakobson and their insuing misinterpretations in the literature in further work on aphasia andphonology acquisition. Finally an approximation of the concepts of continuity/discontinuity and double face of prosody with “double vocation” by Didier-Weill is proposed.
A difícil aritmética do corpo e da linguagem: reflexões sobre o input e a aquisição de linguagem
Authors: Faria Núbia Rabelo Bakker
Published: August 2018

From the point of view of reflection on Language Acquisition, the thesis that inspires this article brings to discussion the impossibility of searching for reconciliation between two natures differently conceived for body and language – the body, as a sensitive organism is in the domain of biology, whereas language, with its structures and categories, is in the realms of linguistics. In this case, to the area of language acquisition is left the ungrateful and fruitless task of operating the relationship between those two different natures. That task limits itself to the operations of addition or subtraction. In order to conduct such reflection, two theories were called into play: Chomsky’s, whose research in linguistics was responsible for the consolidation of the area of language acquisition and Skinner’s, which is the trigger for Chomsky’s option for the rationalist principles in search for an answer to the question of how a child masters the complex structures of a language disclosed by means of formalization applied to linguistics which signals the entrance of that author in the area of linguistics.

Fast Electrochemical Method for Organic Dye Decolorization Using the Recycled Li-ion Batteries
Authors: Garcia Eric M. , Taroco Hosane A.
Published: August 2018

In this paper the application of recycled Li-ion batteries spent cathode (LIB-SC) combined with NaHCO3/H2O2 system is presented for the first time in the literature as an alternative for degradation of potentially toxic organic molecules.  The model pollutant choice was methylene blue molecule. The spent cathode composition corresponds to LiCoO2, which was proved by the XRD and EDX.  Regarding the decolorization of methylene blue solution, the addition of NaHCO3 in comparison with only H2O2 reduces the complete decolorization time in 96%. This reduction occurs because the radical CO3 is more stable than OH. In this way, the application the system proposed in this article is aimed at solving two major global problems: the disposal of cell phone batteries and the pollution of liquid effluents.

Authors: Bazrafshan Zahra , Stylios George K.
Published: August 2018

One step fabrication of 3D fiber stack of Acid Soluble Collagen-g-P(MMA-co-EA)/Nylon 6 formed by coaxial electrospinning is obtained through controlling the experimental conditions. The resulting 3D collagen based nanofibrous stack shows two distinguished assemblies: randomly oriented microfibers of 6.9±2.2µm diameter and dense branched nanofibers of 216±49 nm diameter. The fiber stacks can be accumulated within 20 min via single needle coaxial electrospinning. The stacks can obtain an average height of 4 cm. The self-assembly mechanism of the fiber stack and the effect of experimental conditions were also investigated. The self-assembled 3D fiber underpinned by the promising potential due to its large surface area and pore size for many practical end uses such as tissue engineering, Textiles, filtration require the properties of nanotexture of collagen based macrostructure.

Published: August 2018

Semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs), have unique optical and physical properties that make them potential imaging tools in biological and medical applications. However, concerns such as the aqueous dispersivity, toxicity to cells and stability in biological environments may limit the use of QDs in bioapplications. Here, we report an investigation into the cytotoxicity of aqueously dispersed CdSe(S) and CdSe(S)/ZnO core/shell QDs in the presence of human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT-116) and a human skin fibroblast cell line (WS-1). The cytotoxicity of the precursor solutions used in the synthesis of the CdSe(S) QDs was also determined in the presence of HCT-116 cells and compared to that of the heat-shock protein (Hsp90) inhibitor, 17-AAG. CdSe(S) QDs were found to have a low toxicity at concentrations up to 100 µg/ml, with a decreased cell viability at higher concentrations, indicating a highly dose-dependent response. Meanwhile, CdSe(S)/ZnO core/shell QDs exhibited lower toxicity than uncoated QDs at higher concentrations. Confocal microscopy images of HCT-116 cells after incubation with CdSe(S) and CdSe(S)/ZnO QDs showed that the cells were stable in aqueous concentrations of 100 µg of QDs per ml, with no sign of cell necrosis, confirming the cytotoxicity data. Key words: HCT-116, WS1, water dispersive QDs, aqueous synthesis, cytotoxicity of QDs.

Published: August 2018

The research paper focuses on studying the robust stability and performance of suboptimal H_∞ control on mass-spring-dashpot systems subject to parametric uncertainty and external disturbance on output response. The objective is keeping the vertical oscillation of the system constant under uncertainty and disturbance. For the control system to achieve satisfactory performance, suitable weighting filter functions for performance and control effort were designed respectively. Model order reduction for the synthesized controller based on Hankel norm approximation was conducted where a third order controller is obtained. Numerical results based on µ-analysis, frequency response and transient response show that the closed-system achieved robust stability and robust performance to parametric uncertainty and disturbance at all frequencies over the entire frequency bandwidth of study.

Good coincidence of character of change of a cross-section of road and sredne-quadratic and maximum values of heights of a cross-section of the road, received on the offered methods (a toe-out of 7–20%) is revealed.
METHOD OF QUALIFICATION ESTIMATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF PROFESSIONAL TEAMS OF PROGRAMMERS
Authors: Prihozhy A. A. , Zhdanouski A. M.
Published: August 2018

The problem of building and optimizing the teams of programmers taking into account the qualification and the level of skills in programming technologies and tools is considered. Known technological environments for the management of teamwork, such as Agile, formulate only general requirements and principles for building the teams and the distribution of work between them. A method for formalizing and evaluating the qualification of individual programmers and entire groups of programmers has been proposed. The input data are attributes of the most popular technologies and programming tools, including technology rating, as well as the results of a survey of programmers on their level of skills. The qualification of a group of programmers is evaluated taking into account the requirements for a particular project, which integrates three components: the average qualification of programmers included in the group; the qualification of the group with respect to the best representatives for each of the technologies; threshold values of the levels of programmer qualification and group qualification for each of the technologies, as well as threshold values of the integrated qualification, reflecting the specifics of the given project. The contribution of each component is determined by appropriate weights. The proposed method is a basis for a genetic algorithm that performs the search for the number, size and staff of groups of programmers which yield a maximum of total qualification. Software has been developed and computer experiments have been carried out on a set of programmers who graduated from Belarusian universities. The obtained results demonstrate the real ability of the system to find the number, size and staff of groups of programmers, which increase the overall qualification of groups by 30% while minimizing the number of unemployed developers. The results prove the practical importance of the method and software in the field of technologies and tools for the management of professional teams of programmers.
