FEATURES OF FINDING OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS IN NETWORK PLANNING
Authors: Domina Olena 
Published: November 2020

The object of research is a test network diagram, in relation to which the task of minimizing the objective function qmax/qmin→min is posed, which requires maximizing the uniformity of the workload of personnel when implementing an arbitrary project using network planning. The formulation of the optimization problem, therefore, assumed finding such times of the beginning of the execution of operations, taken as input variables, in order to ensure the minimum value of the ratio of the peak workload of personnel to the minimum workload.
The procedure for studying the response surface proposed in the framework of RSM is described in relation to the problem of optimizing network diagrams. A feature of this procedure is the study of the response surface by a combination of two methods – canonical transformation and ridge analysis. This combination of methods for studying the response surface allows to see the difference between optimal solutions in the sense of "extreme" and in the sense of "best". For the considered test network diagram, the results of the canonical transformation showed the position on the response surface of the extrema in the form of maxima, which is unacceptable for the chosen criterion for minimizing the objective function qmax/qmin→min. It is shown that the direction of movement towards the best solutions with respect to minimizing the value of the objective function is determined on the basis of a parametric description of the objective function and the restrictions imposed by the experiment planning area. A procedure for constructing nomograms of optimal solutions is proposed, which allows, after its implementation, to purposefully choose the best solutions based on the real network diagrams of your project

Published: November 2020

An increase in electricity generation is possible not only through the construction of power plants, but also through the creation of fundamentally new energy sources. One of the problems of modern electrical engineering is to ensure the reliability of the operation of capacitors at electric field strengths exceeding I50-200MV. In the domestic and foreign capacitor industry, for heavy pulse modes, castor oil (CO) is used as a liquid impregnation. The development of a method for producing a substitute for natural castor oil, which is a universal impregnating liquid in capacitors, is an urgent problem in the electrical industry. Thus, we have developed a method for the production of acetoxymethyl-w.hexyl-o-xylene, the electrophysical properties of which make it possible to use it as an environmentally friendly and promising substitute for natural castor oil. However, there was a problem of stabilization, since compounds of the ester type have (as impregnating liquids in capacitors) a disadvantage, which consists in their sensitivity to light hydrolysis and atmospheric effects. Ester exhibits high stability with respect to air up to 200 °С, therefore, inhibition by the addition of antioxidants is required is not new.
In this work developed the basic electrophysical properties of the ester-acetoxymethyl-secondary hexyl-o-xyleole; methods for its purification and stabilization. There were chosen the adsorption method of thermo-oxidative stabilization to clean dielectric fluid from conductive impurities.
As a result of the electrophysical characteristics of the acetoxymethyl-secondary hexyl-o-xyleole ester, as well as the method of its purification using alumina, and hydrogenation on a catalyst representing 0.2 % palladium on alumina and stabilization using additives NG-2246. As a result of the research, it was possible to obtain an ester with improved electrophysical parameters
Performance of a granular activated carbon biologically active filter (GAC-BAF) for removing microcystin-LR (MC-LR) from eutrophic water
Authors: Xu Wei , Kong Meijun , Song Jie , Zhang Zhen 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) removals linked with empty bed contact time (EBCT), temperature and backwash strategies are important for biologically active filter (BAF) application but remain not entirely clear. In addition, there is still a lack of understanding about the bio-regeneration of MC-LR adsorption capacity in a BAF. This study examined MC-LR removals by a granular activated carbon-biologically active filter (GAC-BAF) as a function of EBCT, temperature, and backwash strategies. Results demonstrated that the optimum EBCT (1.2 h for this study) likely depended upon an optimum superficial velocity as well as the GAC column height. A superficial velocity not greater than 0.5 m/h was deemed appropriate according to this research. The MC-LR removals achieved at the optimum EBCT reached 54.8%–72.0%. A higher temperature resulted in a greater MC-LR removal; adsorption might contribute to effective MC-LR removal by the GAC-BAF at a lower temperature. A strategy (Air + air-water + water) was suggested as an optimal backwash strategy for GAC-BAFs in terms of MC-LR removal. A comparison of the effectiveness of the experimental GAC-BAF in continuous and discontinuous operations on MC-LR removals was conducted, from which indirect evidence for bio-regeneration of MC-LR adsorption capacity of the GAC was obtained.

Authors: Beery Matan , Pflieger Christian , Weyd Marcus 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The federal research project, PAkmem, deals with the recycling of industrial wastewater. The aim of the project is to develop and pilot an innovative integrative process for produced water treatment in the oil and gas industry utilizing flotation and ceramic micro-nano-membrane filtrations (MF-NF membranes) as well as the wastewater treatment of the ceramic industry with ceramic NF-membranes and electrodialysis (ED). The process utilized should remove fine particles, organic matter and divalent ions in order to make the water dischargeable or reusable (direct disposal or reuse as process water in the ceramic industry and the enhanced oil recovery reinjection in the oil and gas industry in which the water is conditioned in order to increase the oil production yield). Three pilot plants were designed and built according to strict safety standards and were operated on industrial manufacturing sites in Germany in 2019. Two innovative optical fine particle measuring techniques (inline and online) have been specially adapted for the project and integrated into the pilot plants. The results show promising technical potential for the use of ceramic membranes in the above-mentioned applications.

Association of Admission Leukocyte Count with Clinical Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Undergoing Intravenous Thrombolysis with Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator
Authors: Chen Jie , Zhang Fu-Liang , Lv Shan , Jin Hang , Luo Yun , Qu Yang , Guo Zhen-Ni , Yang Yi 
Published: November 2020

Objective::
An increased leukocyte count is positively associated with poor outcomes
and all-cause mortality in coronary heart disease, cancer, and ischemic stroke. The role of leukocyte
count in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains important. We aimed to investigate the association
between admission leukocyte count before thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen
activator (rt-PA) and 3-month outcomes in AIS patients.

Methods::
This retrospective study included consecutive AIS patients who received intravenous
(IV) rt-PA within 4.5 h of symptom onset between January 2016 to December 2018. We assessed
outcomes, including short-term hemorrhagic transformation (HT), 3-month mortality, and functional
independence (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score of 0–2 or 0–1).

Results::
Among 579 patients who received IV rt-PA, 77 (13.3%) exhibited HT at 24 h, 43 (7.4%)
died within 3 months, and 211 (36.4%) exhibited functional independence (mRS score: 0–2). Multivariable
logistic regression revealed admission leukocyte count as an independent predictor of
good and excellent outcomes at 3 months. Each 1-point increase in admission leukocyte count increased
the odds of poor outcomes at 3 months by 7.6% (mRS score: 3–6, odds ratio [OR]: 1.076,
95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.003–1.154, p=0.041) and 7.8% (mRS score: 2–6, OR: 1.078, 95%
CI: 1.006–1.154, p=0.033). Multivariable regression analysis revealed no association between HT
and 3-month mortality. Admission neutrophil and lymphocyte count were not associated with 3--
month functional outcomes or 3-month mortality.

Conclusion::
A lower admission leukocyte count independently predicts good and excellent outcomes
at 3 months in AIS patients undergoing rt-PA treatment.
Identifying Protein Subcellular Location with Embedding Features Learned from Networks
Authors: Liu Hongwei , Hu Bin , Chen Lei , Lu Lin 
Published: November 2020

Background:
Identification of protein subcellular location is an important problem because
the subcellular location is highly related to protein function. It is fundamental to determine
the locations with biology experiments. However, these experiments are of high costs and time-consuming.
The alternative way to address such a problem is to design effective computational methods.

Objective:
To date, several computational methods have been proposed in this regard. However, these
methods mainly adopted the features derived from the proteins themselves. On the other hand,
with the development of the network technique, several embedding algorithms have been proposed,
which can encode nodes in the network into feature vectors. Such algorithms connected the
network and traditional classification algorithms. Thus, they provided a new way to construct models
for the prediction of protein subcellular location.

Methods:
In this study, we analyzed features produced by three network embedding algorithms
(DeepWalk, Node2vec and Mashup) that were applied on one or multiple protein networks. Obtained
features were learned by one machine learning algorithm (support vector machine or random
forest) to construct the model. The cross-validation method was adopted to evaluate all constructed
models.

Results:
After evaluating models with the cross-validation method, embedding features yielded by
Mashup on multiple networks were quite informative for predicting protein subcellular location.
The model based on these features were superior to some classic models.

Conclusion:
Embedding features yielded by a proper and powerful network embedding algorithm
were effective for building the model for prediction of protein subcellular location, providing new
pipelines to build more efficient models.
A Validated 2D-LC-UV Method for Simultaneous Determination of Imatinib and N-desmethylimatinib in Plasma and its Clinical Application for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring with GIST Patients
Authors: Xiong Lilong , Feng Weiyi , Li Houli , Zhang Di , Cheng Xiaoliang , Zheng Qiaowei , Cheng Kai , Wang Maoyi , Dong Weihua 
Published: November 2020

Background:
The trough concentration (Cmin) of Imatinib (IM) is closely related to the
treatment outcomes and adverse reactions of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
However, the drug plasma level has great inter- and intra-individual variability, and therapeutic
drug monitoring (TDM) is highly recommended.

Objective:
To develop a novel, simple, and economical two-dimensional liquid chromatography
method with the ultraviolet detector (2D-LC-UV) for simultaneous determination of IM and its major
active metabolite, N-desmethyl imatinib (NDIM) in human plasma, and then apply the method
for TDM of the drug.

Methods:
The sample was processed by simple protein precipitation. Two target analytes were separated
on the one-dimension column, captured on the middle column, and then transferred to the
two-dimension column for further analysis. The detection was performed at 264 nm. The column
temperature was maintained at 40˚C and the injection volume was 500 μL. Totally 32 plasma samples
were obtained from patients with GIST who were receiving IM.

Results:
IM and NDIM were separated well from other impurities and the entire analytical time for
each run was 12.0 min. The calibration curves had good linearity in the range of 33.5-2678.4
ng/mL for IM, and 20.0-1600.0 ng/mL for NDIM, respectively. The extraction efficiency was more
than 95%. The acceptable accuracy, precision, recovery and stability were also obtained. The Cmin
of the drug in patients was measured with the validated method.

Conclusion:
The novel 2D-LC-UV method is simple, stable, highly automated and independent of
specialized technicians, which greatly increases the real-time capability of routine TDM for IM in
hospital.

Authors: El Hamid Alaa Ahmed Abd , Askoura Anas Mohamed , Abdel Hamed Diaa Marzouk , Taha Mohamed Shehata , Allam Mohamed Farouk 
Published: November 2020

Background:
Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) is a term for several chronic conditions in which partial or complete cessation of breathing occurs many times throughout the night, resulting in fatigue or daytime sleepiness that interferes with a person’s functions and reduces the quality of life.

Objective:
Comparing the effectiveness of surgical versus non-surgical treatment of OSDB in children in clinical trials through a meta-analysis study.

Patients and Methods:
A number of available studies and abstracts concerning the surgical versus non-surgical treatment of OSDB in children were identified through a comprehensive search of electronic databases. Data were abstracted from every study in the form of a risk estimate and its 95% confidence interval.

Results:
The current study revealed that there was a statistically significant improvement in the surgically treated patients rather than non-surgically treated patients regarding the quality of life.

Conclusion:
The current meta-analysis reports a significant clinical improvement in the surgical (adenotonsillectomy) group as compared to the non-surgical group, in terms of disease specific quality of life, and healthcare utilization in spite of the availability of only one study.
Finger Millet as a Sustainable Feedstock for Bioethanol Production
Authors: Yemets Alla I. , Blume Rostislav Y. , Rakhmetov Dzhamal B. , Blume Yaroslav B. 
Published: November 2020

The current trend in volatile oil prices, global warming and environmental pollution, has encouraged major consumers worldwide to sharply increase their use of “green” fuels. Bioethanol is usually obtained from the conversion of carbon-based feedstock. Bioethanol from biomass sources is the principal fuel used as a fossil fuels’ substitute for road transport vehicles. Bioethanol is predominantly produced by the sugar fermentation process, although it can also be generated by the chemical process of reacting ethylene with steam. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is also known as Ragi (India), Kodo (Nepal), Uburo (Rwanda), Kurakkan (Srilanka), Bulo (Uganda), Kambale (Zambia) and Tamba (Nigeria) and can be used as an efficient source for bioethanol production. Despite all its importance, however, finger millet is still grossly undervalued both scientifically and internationally.
This review observes current progress in bioethanol production from E. coracana feedstock and the effectiveness of various technological approaches for that.

The main aspects of ethanol production from finger millet seeds have been considered. Seeds, which are already used for brewing, are the most obvious variant of feedstock for ethanol production from this crop. The conversion of finger millet straw and agricultural waste into bioethanol has also been reviewed. Practical results of development and testing the tentative technology of sweet sorghum and finger millet combined processing into bioethanol are described. The concept of the tentative technology of bioethanol production from carbohydrate raw material of the first and second generations is suggested.

Authors: Aich D. , Saha S. , Mondal R. N. , Samanta P. K. , Kamilya T. 
Published: November 2020

Background:Fe3O4nanoparticles have great potential in different biomedical applications. The study of the interaction of bare, and capped Fe3O4nanoparticles with common blood proteins is a field of interest for understanding the underlying mechanism and biocompatibility.Objective:This work aims at studying the nature of binding of bare, citrate functionalised and bovine serum albumin coated Fe3O4nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs, CFe3O4NPs and BFe3O4NPs) with human hemoglobin (Hb), and their instantaneous effect on amino acid group, heme group and secondary structure of Hb.Methods:Nanoparticles were prepared by the chemical route and characterised by TEM, XRD and UV-Visible and FTIR spectroscopy. UV-visible absorbance and fluorescence emission/ excitation spectroscopy and circular dichroism were performed to study the interaction of nanoparticles with Hb.Results:UV-visible absorbance spectroscopy showed no blue or red shift of absorption peaks. Benesi-Hildebrand curves for the amino acid band and soret band of Hb absorbance spectrum were straight lines with positive intercepts; apparent binding constants and Gibbs free energy change were within a moderate level; they were larger for amino acid band in the presence of CFe3O4NPs, and for soret band in the presence of Fe3O4NPs, but noticeably small for both bands in the presence of BFe3O4NPs. Fluorescence emission/excitation spectra showed no noticeable shift of emission/excitation peak position of Hb in the presence of the three nanoparticles. Multiple peak fitting, done for the L-peak of the excitation spectrum of Hb, showed a major increase in the percentage of peak area of Tyr in the presence of CFe3O4NPs. Circular dichroism measurement showed that CFe3O4NPs, Fe3O4NPs and BFe3O4NPs reduced the α-helix content of Hb in decreasing order.Conclusion:Ground state complex formation of human hemoglobin with the studied nanoparticles with 1:1 stoichiometric ratio is suggested. Moreover, it has been observed that CFe3O4NPs may have a stronger interaction with the amino acid group while bare Fe3O4NPs may have a stronger interaction with the heme group of Hb. Hinderance of the energy transfer from tyrosine to tryptophan of Hb in the presence of CFe3O4NPs is also suggested. CFe3O4NPs may also have some effect on the secondary structure of Hb as indicated through reduction of the α-helix content. BFe3O4NPs have shown very weak interaction with Hb in the UV-visible absorbance spectroscopy, fluorescence emission/excitation spectroscopy and circular dichroism experiment.
A TRANSNATIONAL STUDY ON AMERICAN HEGEMONY OF INDONESIAN MALE TEENAGERS THROUGH SMACKDOWN
Authors: Gumilang Dhionisius Bambang 
Published: November 2020

SmackDown is one of the most phenomenal products of U.S. popular culture. It goes beyond its geographical borders to broadcast in each house in other countries. It caused several deaths and injuries to Indonesian children during 2006 followed by the banning of the program from airing nationally. It began re-airing through TV cable in 2011 and fanbase communities were established in three major big cities in Indonesia, which are Yogyakarta, Bandung, and Jakarta.This research represents the perception of SmackDown among Indonesian male teenagers ages 15-17 and its effects as well as the power of SmackDown over them. It uses a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative methods in a grounded research under Transnational American Studies related to hegemony and popular culture. The analysis of the data that are collected through quantitative method uses the semiotic approach that links the sign, signified, and signifiers to the reality by comparing it to the American perception based on the published journals, thesis, or dissertations to Indonesian perception from interviews and group discussions with fanbase members, students from three private high schools and athletes of amateur wrestling.This research reveals that hegemonic masculinity that constructs gender in society is shaped through the broadcast of SmackDown in Indonesia. It is seen from the performance that justifies violence, portrays the ideal body for men and positions women as inferior to men. Meanwhile, the SmackDown itself engages the audience by manipulating the reality in order to blur the line between fantasy and reality. The blurred lines give the audience a sense of pseudo-ideology which puts fantasy as their reality. Gender construction is pseudo-ideology to the society. Keywords: SmackDown, hegemony, popular culture, transnational
FIGHTING FOR WOMEN EXISTENCE IN POPULAR ESPIONAGE MOVIES SALT (2010) AND ZERO DARK THIRTY (2012)
Authors: Amalina Benita 
Published: November 2020

American spy movies have been considered one of the most profitable genre in Hollywood. These spy movies frequently create an assumption that this genre is exclusively masculine, as women have been made oblivious and restricted to either supporting roles or non-spy roles. In 2010 and 2012, portrayal of women in spy movies was finally changed after the release of Salt and Zero Dark Thirty, in which women became the leading spy protagonists. Through the post-nationalist American Studies perspective, this study discusses the importance of both movies in reinventing women’s identity representation in a masculine genre in response to the evolving American society. Keywords: American women, hegemony, representation, Hollywood, movies, popular culture
