Published: October 2022

Solid waste from disposable long neck bottles was used as pozzolanic additive to the cement matrix. Mortar specimens containing finely ground glass (90-53 µm) until 15 wt% were evaluated for physical and mechanical properties. The mechanical test showed an increase of 97% (greater than the values found in the literature) in the axial compression strength of the samples containing glass due to the increased pozzolanic activity index caused by glass addition to mortar. The mechanical strength was relatively greater when the glass particle size was reduced (53-38µm). The pozzolanic activity was observed at advanced ages either, by Brazilian standardized tests or thermal reactions between water and calcium hydroxides. Scanning electron microscopy reinforced the hydrated-calcium silicates present after calcium hydroxide consumption, characteristic of pozzolanic materials. From a technical and environmental viewpoint, the use of glass waste from long neck bottles as pozzolanic additive to the cement matrix proved to be feasible.

Freshwater quality is deteriorating as a result of ongoing threats from both anthropogenic and natural sources, resulting in an overall loss of ecological integrity petroleum hydrocarbon profiles and heavy metals (Mg, Fe, Ni, Mn, Pb, Cd, Cu, Cr, and Zn) were determined in water samples collected at six sampling sites in Ede Onyima lake, Okarki-Engenni, Rivers State, Nigeria using gas chromatography, flame ionization detector, and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy.  Results showed that total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) varied from (0.27 -252.20 mg/L) with mean : 77.30 mg/L; Total hydrocarbon content (0.43 - 347.70 mg/L) with mean : 97.97 mg/L; Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene (9.00E-04- 6.60 mg/L) with mean : 0.11mg/L; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (0.16- 3.51mg/L) with mean : 1.93mg/L. The heavy metal results showed Mg (1.11- 8.67mg/L) with mean : 2.87 mg/L; Fe (0.13 - 20.73mg/L) with mean : 7.29mg/L; Mn (0.001- 5.92 mg/L) with mean : 1.69 mg/L; Pb (0.06 - 0.06 mg/L) with mean : 0.06 mg/kg;  Cu (6.33E-04- 0.31 mg/L) with mean : 0.07mg/L;  Zn (9.90E-04- 0.38 mg/L) with mean : 0.08 mg/L;  Ni (0.04 - 0.04 mg/L) with mean : 0.04 mg/L; Cd and Cr were less than  0.01 mg/L. The CWQI was used to capture the overall spatial and temporal trends in water quality in the Ede Onyima lake. The results showed that while PAHs and Fe exceeded guideline values and failed 100% of the time. The large magnitude of F3 is as a result of varying degrees of failure of Mn, Fe, THC, TPH, and PAHs, all of which exceeded regulatory thresholds by several magnitudes. Furthermore, the flood event had a significant effect on the quality of the water, remobilizing pollutants' availability while washing away legacy contaminated streambed deposits during baseflow.
The Effect of Integrating a Bio-Inspired Convex Structure with a Low-Surface Energy Polymer on Soil Adhesion and Friction
Authors: Salem Abouelnadar , Zhang Guozhong , Wang Hongchang
Published: October 2022

The capacity of soil-burrowing animals to move freely in sticky soil is a motivational trait for developing soil engaging tools with high operational efficiency. The hydrophobicity and morphological profiles of soil animals' skin were reported to be the key pillars in producing their anti-adhesive mechanisms. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) possess outstanding corrosion resistance, hydrophobicity, and chemical stability, which qualify it as a potential choice in soil adhesion reduction. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility of integrating a domed surface inspired by the micro-convex structure of the dung beetle skin with the UHMW-PE as a surface coating for soil engaging components in terms of soil adhesion reduction. The sliding resistance of three sliding plates (flat plate of carbon steel, flat plate of UHMW-PE, and domed plate of UHMW-PE), entirely identical in the projected area, was evaluated in two soil textures of silty clay and sandy clay loam, at four moisture levels of 18, 23, 28, and 33% and four drag speeds of 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3 m s-1 using a completely randomized design. The dimensions of the embossed domes on the tested plate surface and their distribution pattern were established based on the previously published structural optimization of the bioinspired convex surface. In each treatment, the tested plate was dragged for 0.7 m of the soil bin length, and the sliding resistance was recorded continuously using the distributed stress and strain test and analysis system (DH3820 N). The coefficients of adhesion and friction were calculated according to the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. The variance analysis revealed that all investigated parameters significantly affected coefficients of adhesion and friction. In addition, as compared to flat steel plates, UHMW-PE coated plates exhibited much lower adhesion in all treatments, paving the way for practical applications in soil adhesion reduction and soilengaging component optimization.

Authors: Yang Chuanxiao , Xin Zhiyue , Hu Xiong , Sun Shibin , Ding Liang , Tang Dewei
Published: October 2022

High trafficability and robustness on terrain surfaces composed of granular substrates can be obtained through configurations of C-shaped legs. Recently, C-shaped configuration has been widely used in the locomotion mechanism design of the legged mobile robots on harsh grounds, especially for sandy terrains. In case of rotational gait, based on the stress-macro deformation relationship according to the Resistive Force Theory (RFT) in terradynamics, an interaction model between a C-shaped leg and the sandy terrain is established in this paper. Considering the influence of velocity field of C- leg particle systems on Fourier linear coefficient in fitting precondition, the inversion characters of mechanical parameters through integral derivation and linearized expression of the model are established. Then, the experimental data samples are employed to identify the mechanical parameters of the sandy terrain, followed by checking its validity through setting a limit for the tolerance between predicted results and experimental data. Furthermore, mechanical behaviors under swing gaits are analyzed, for which some basic dynamic control strategies are suggested in this study. In this work, the outputs of driving torque within the range of a feasible region experienced at the joint are explored. It is concluded that the mechanical properties dominated by the sandy terrain and leg geometry can be revealed by the identified parameters, some driving outputs can be evaluated through interaction models in terradynamics.

Published: October 2022

Penetration detection is an important way to method for in-situ scientific exploration of planets, which is used to indirectly detect the mechanical properties of the planetary subsurface soil. In this paper, four ovoid-nosed penetrators with different radius penetrating different compactness of planetary soil under different impact velocity were simulated using nonlinear finite element (FE) method through Hypermesh/Ls-dyna. A nonparametric estimation method for estimating the mechanical properties of planetary soil is presented. Three main characteristic parameters in the process of penetrator penetration were adopted in the method, including maximum acceleration am, penetration depth z, and maximum deflection angle θm. Twenty identification parameters for identifying planetary soils properties were derived based on these three characteristic parameters. The terrain consisted of simulant soil classified nonparametrically and artificially defined as three states (low, medium and high compactness) based on different harnesses, and five identification criteria (slack, ideal, partially strict, relatively strict and strict) were put forward. Four superior identification parameters were derived through the analysis of the evaluation indexes (recognition rate, accurate rate and conservative rate) under different identification criteria. and are selected as the optimal identification parameters and verified by simulation test, the accurate success rate and conservative success rate of the final estimation are 58.3% and 91.7%, respectively, which indicated that the nonparametric estimation method in this work can be used to evaluate the mechanical properties of planetary soil effectively.

Published: October 2022

Soil shear strength is an important index of soil mechanical properties, which is of great significance in fields such as rock and soil stress analysis, agricultural machinery farming, seabed exploration, and vehicle trafficability evaluation. In order to improve the problems existing in the existing methods of obtaining soil shear strength index, such as low accuracy, demanding experimental site conditions and long periodicity, this paper constructed a model of free-fall cone penetration into the soil based on the discrete element method (DEM) simulation, and the corresponding relationship between moisture content and penetration depth was obtained. In addition, the corresponding relationship between the moisture content and the soil shear strength index was obtained from the triaxial compression test. Combining these two relational equations, this paper finally summarized the equation about the relationship between the penetration depth in the simulation and the soil shear strength index in the test. It was verified that the errors of internal friction angle (φ) and internal cohesion (c) obtained by the equation were only 3.45% and 6.68%. It shows that the DEM free-fall cone penetration simulation can replace the triaxial compression test to obtain soil shear strength index with very low error, and it is a quick and accurate new method to acquire the soil mechanical parameters.

Published: October 2022

Understanding the physical essence of wheel-terrain interaction is critical to establish the terramechanics model. The discrete element method (DEM) can be used to simulate a series of wheel-terrain interaction quickly and efficiently, which can be convenient to analyze the physical information of the interaction. This paper simulates the interaction of slipping wheel running on soil simulant using 3D-DEM. The information of particles and wheel is obtained from the wheel-terrain interaction. The consequent velocity and stress field of soil simulant is obtained by smoothening the velocity of discrete soil particles and contact interaction force between particles. A method to calculate the fraction field of soil simulant in the particle bed with boundary is proposed to obtain the consequent fraction field distribution. The simulation results are consistent with experimental results. This study can provide instructions for the establishment of physical terramechanics model.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: The frequency of detection of metabolically associated fatty liver disease in the population of developed countries is becoming a non-infectious pandemic, the growth drivers of which are obesity and diabetes mellitus. Currently, metabolically associated fatty liver disease occupies a firm position in the list of the most common liver diseases all over the world. Chronic liver diseases are accompanied by pronounced pathological changes in the composition of the human microflora, manifested by a deficiency of obligate microorganisms and microbial contamination of the small intestine, which requires a long-term therapeutic correction aimed at normalizing the gut microflora.
Objective: to study the impact of the intestinal microbiome disorders on the course and progression of metabolically associated fatty liver disease.
Materials and methods. The study included 105 patients with metabolically associated fatty liver disease. The diagnosis of metabolically associated fatty liver disease was exhibited on the basis of proven liver steatosis in combination with one of the following criteria: overweight/obesity, type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance syndrome, signs of metabolic dysregulation. Patients underwent a comprehensive clinical and laboratory study. The stage of liver fibrosis was determined using ultrasound elastography (Fibroscan). The study of the intestinal microbiome was carried out using the method of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Results and its discussion. It was found that 68.6% of the cases of metabolically associated fatty liver disease were associated with obesity, 27.6% - with overweight body mass. It was revealed that in most patients there was an increase in ALT level, a violation of lipid metabolism (increased levels of total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, as well as a decrease in HDL levels), the development of insulin resistance syndrome. Violation of the of the intestinal microflora was revealed in 71.4% of patients. Patients with impaired intestinal microflora have higher levels of ALT, cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, HOMA-index and lower levels of HDL, higher stage of fibrosis compared to the group without impaired intestinal microflora.
Conclusion. Disruption of the intestinal microflora occurs in the majority of patients with metabolically associated fatty liver disease and has a negative impact on the course (leading to more pronounced lipid metabolism disorders, higher ALT and HOMA index levels), as well as the progression of metabolically associated fatty liver disease (leading to a higher stage of fibrosis).

This study aims to identify the level of understanding (LoU) and resources that students activate. This is a descriptive study. The study used a survey method by distributing ten multiple-choice questions. The focus of the study is geometric optics. The research was conducted on 64 physics students who were taking Basic Physics III courses. Data analysis was carried out by determining descriptive statistics and categorizing students' LoU based on the reasons given. The LoU includes Sound Understanding, Partial Understanding, Partial Understanding with Specific Misconceptions, Specific Misconceptions, and Not Understanding. Based on the analysis of the research results, the average score of students' conceptual understanding was 53.44. Furthermore, the average levels of understanding are 15.9% for Sound Understanding, 28.1% for Partial Understanding, 14.7% for Partial Understanding with Specific Misconceptions, 16.4% for Specific Misconceptions, and 26.2% for Not Understanding. Meanwhile, the resource that is activated by students when showing possible rays in the formation of images on a convex lens is "there are only three possible rays". It means that students do not understand that it is not only "three special rays" reflected by objects towards the lens to form an image.

This study aims to analyze study habits and their relationship with biology learning outcomes for students of class XI MIPA at SMA Negeri 8 Padang. This type of research is descriptive, with a total sample of 45 students in the odd semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The sampling technique was simple random sampling using a questionnaire. The results showed that the highest average study habits were habits in student preparation (28.82

± 3.36), reading textbooks (23.84 ± 3.05) making notes and summaries (24.15 ± 3.14 ) repeating lessons (17.06 ± 3.04) facing e xa ms (23.60 ± 2.94) and completing assignments (16.35 ± 2.02). Study habits contribute to students' biology learning outcomes with a t count of 2,794. The relationship between study habits and learning outcomes in general shows a low relationship (r = 0.161). Furthermore, the relationship between variable habits showed a low relationship between taking notes and summaries (r = 0.216), with study preparation (r = 0.174), reading habits of textbooks (r = 0.128), repeating lessons (r = 0.103), in facing exams ( r = 0.102) and the relationship between habits in completing tasks with learning outcomes (r = 0.000) is in the very low category. From this research, it can be concluded that the relationship between study habits and learning outcomes in taking notes and summaries with learning outcomes is in the low category, while the relationship between learning preparation habits, reading textbooks, repeating lessons, facing exa ms and the relationship between habits in completing assignments is in the very low category.
Resource Identification and Level of Understanding of Particle Dynamics Concepts

Published: October 2022

The need for a complete understanding of concepts to prevent imperfect understanding still needs to be prioritized. Many student difficulties are still due to misconceptions that have not been straightened out. Resource theory also reveals this, which explains the phenomenon of imperfect student understanding. This study aims to reveal the students' difficulties in understanding physics concepts on the topic of Newton's laws. The study was conducted on 82 students of class X by using 11 questions of choice of reasons, students' answer choices became quantitative, and the reasons for students' answers became sources of qualitative data. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Meanwhile, the data was analyzed qualitatively using the Miles and Huberman analysis stages to see students' level of understanding and activated resources. The results showed that many students still experienced very low conceptual understanding, averaging 37.58. This is shown in the 11 questions. Only five questions can be answered correctly by more than 50% of students. At the same time, fewer than 30% of students can answer the six questions correctly. However, only 11.53% of students can answer correctly and are accompanied by reasons by scientific concepts. The reasons given in answering indicate the existence of misconceptions experienced by students, with a percentage of 14.52%. At the same time, the remaining 55.54% indicate that students are at the level of not knowing by showing students' answers without giving reasons.

Published: October 2022

Introdução: Espera-se, nos próximos anos, um novo perfil de demanda para o Sistema Único de Saúde em consequência do envelhecimento populacional e do aumento da prevalência de doenças crônicas. Diante disso, faz-se necessário o uso de ferramentas para estimar a demanda futura por serviços. Modelos para a análise de séries temporais como o Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) podem auxiliar. Objetivo: Estimar a demanda por visitas domiciliares na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) do Sistema Único de Saúde, em Florianópolis (SC). Métodos: Estudo ecológico de séries temporais que utilizou o ARIMA para projeções. Adotaram-se as visitas domiciliares realizadas pela APS, registradas do prontuário eletrônico da Secretaria de Saúde do município, de janeiro de 2015 a fevereiro de 2019. As projeções dos 20 meses seguintes foram realizadas para o município e para cada um de seus 49 Centros de Saúde. Resultados: A previsão aponta, em agosto de 2019, a máxima de 702 visitas, seguida de queda para 573 visitas em dezembro de 2019 e posterior recuperação, com estimativa de 632 para outubro de 2020. A previsão para cada Centro de Saúde indicou variações na demanda entre unidades com o mesmo número de equipes de Saúde da Família (ESF), entre 11,3 e 1,3 visitas/ESF, no 20o mês. Conclusões: O ARIMA possibilitou a realização das projeções de visitas domiciliares no município, indicando queda na demanda de visitas domiciliares. O método pode ser de grande valia para a projeção de outras demandas no mesmo município ou em outros que possuam dados de série histórica. Estudos futuros podem expandir a análise nesse sentido, bem como comparar o ARIMA com modelos como a suavização exponencial.
