Published: March 2021

Kidney plays a vital role in the elimination of wastes and keeps balance amongst different chemicals, hormones, and blood pressure (hemostasis). With the development and introduction of newly sophisticated ultrasound modalities, it is easy to examine the morphology and hemodynamics of the kidney. But for the estimation of theaccurate function of kidney and clearance of wastes products, it is needed to exploit the radioactive nature of radionuclide 99mTc-DTPA. Early diagnosis of renal function is important for the underlying management, we, therefore, used radionuclide scan which is rarely used in the modern era for the function of thekidney. We present the case for the purpose of awareness, development of knowledge and elucidation of the importance of 99mTc-DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid).

Published: March 2021

The present paper investigates the problem of flow and heat transfer in a two dimensional boundary layer flow of a nanofluid over a non-linear, permeable stretching/shrinking sheet by considering the effects of suction/blowing, momentum slip, thermal slips and thermal radiation. Three different types of spherical nanoparticles such as , and are considered by taking water as the base fluid. With the aid of suitable similarity transformations, the governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary ones. A new analytical method namely DTM-BF, based on the differential transformation method (DTM) and base function (BF), has been applied to get approximate analytic solutions of these equations in an unbounded domain. Comparison of the present numerical results has been done with the corresponding results available in the literature and they have been found to be in good agreement. The effects of different physical parameters on the flow and temperature profiles have been presented graphically.

Detention as a process of civilization. From abolitionism to restorative justice.
In 1985 the Second International Congress on (Prison) Abolitionism took place. The organizers wanted to denounce the formalistic-legal approach to crime and revise the criminal pretensions. The aim was to develop a non-repressive process of conflict regulation. This contribution addresses the question of whether or to what extent the development of restorative justice in recent decades is an extension of the abolitionist perspective. Among other things, the developments in punishment and restorative detention and restorative justice in The Netherlands are discussed. It is concluded that restorative justice in a broad sense- and the introduction of small-scale, tailor-made detention are a realistic, at this time appropriate continuation of the efforts to find solutions for resolving conflicts outside criminal law.
Evaluation of Construction Materials Cost Reduction Measures in Building Industry in Imo State, Nigeria
Authors: Ikechukwu Uche Felix 
Published: March 2021

Cost reduction measure on construction materials is very critical in the effectiveness of any construction material management. Negligence on this frustrates the integrated effort deployed in cost control of any building project. As the study aims at assessing the impact of some building material cost reduction strategies with regard to their sourcing, applications and designs for affordable houses, field survey research design method and activity sampling involving some of the major building materials were adopted. Data were analyzed using some non parametric tools like likert scale and chi-square to rank the level of effectiveness of the various materials’ cost reduction measures in the industry. It was also used to determine the impact level of the material management on the overall cost of the materials used in the construction of public building in Owerri. Spearman rank correlation coefficient was also used to examine the strength of relationship between the two major sources of the information. Findings in the study reveal that local sourcing of materials is the most significant method of material management in cost reduction. Other methods in their order of significance for cost reduction are quality assurance, economic design and specification, and on-site production of materials. The various percentage cost effects however are found to be significantly dependent on the methods of material management adopted for the materials’ cost reduction in the study. It is therefore recommended that an effective legislative back-up be instituted with a very strong awareness on the need for robust development of local construction material resources, as well as advocate for more practical contact hours on the stressed areas in the appropriate curriculum of the building profession in all the tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Finally, appropriate checklist/indices for check-mating quality assurance on professional personnel and materials schedules; as well as enforcement of ‘buildability’ and maintainability analyses of building projects should be encouraged in the study area.

Published: March 2021

AbstractIn elite sports, there is an opportunity to take advantage of rich and detailed datasets generated across multiple threads of the sporting business. Challenges currently exist due to time constraints to analyse the data, as well as the quantity and variety of data available to assess. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques can be a valuable asset in assisting decision makers in tackling such challenges, but deep AI skills are generally not held by those with rich experience in sporting domains. Here, we describe how certain commonly available AI services can be used to provide analytic assistance to sports experts in exploring, and gaining insights from, typical data sources. In particular, we focus on the use of Natural Language Processing and Conversational Interfaces to provide users with an intuitive and time‐saving toolkit to explore their datasets and the conclusions arising from analytics performed on them. We show the benefit of presenting powerful AI and analytic techniques to domain experts, showing the potential for impact not only at the elite level of sports, where AI and analytic capabilities may be more available, but also at a more grass‐roots level where there is generally little access to specialist resources. The work described in this paper was trialled with Leatherhead Football Club, a semi‐professional team that, at the time, were based in the English 7th tier of football.

AbstractIn the present study, a series of thermochemical equilibrium modeling was conducted to assess the thermodynamic potential of biomass conversion to ammonia using thermal and nonthermal plasma at small‐ and large‐scale production. The system was designed and evaluated for five different locations in Australia including the Northern Territory, South Australia, Western Australia, and New South Wales using local biomass feedstock. The equilibrium modeling showed that the pathway of biomass to biomethane using an anaerobic digestion reactor, biomethane to hydrogen using a thermal plasma reactor, followed by conversion of hydrogen to ammonia via a nonthermal plasma reactor is a plausible route, by which the exergy efficiency of the process can be as high as ~60%. It is identified that the thermal plasma reactor required two distinct zones at 3000°C < T < 4000°C and 1500°C < T < 2500°C. The first zone aims at converting electric energy into very high temperature thermal flow while the second one enables to split methane molecules into solid carbon and hydrogen. The new ammonia process is also assessed from the viewpoint of the current industrial transformation, being accelerated by the post‐COVID economy, which moves toward local, resilient, integrated and self‐sufficient production under the umbrella of an emerging fractal economy. With respect to local production, the developed process is designed for a quick response to farm use and on‐time production in view of the demands of modern ICT‐sensor based precision agriculture. The proposed process was found to be flexible (“resilient”) against production scale, geographical location, price and type of feedstock, and source of renewable energy. The system was found to be flexible against different feedstock such as spent grape marc, mustard seed, bagasse, piggery and poultry. The system can be self‐sustained up to ~80% at T = 3500°C; with the thermal plasma reactor‐zone 2 producing the electricity requirements for the nonthermal plasma via a steam turbine power block. Finally, the system it is investigated to which degree the system is adaptable to local production, self‐sufficient, and circulatory.

Published: March 2021

Medical students' motivation and study strategies are crucial in determining academic performance. This study aimed to assess the motivation and learning strategies of medical students as well as their association with performance in anatomy examinations. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, two focus group discussions, and students' current anatomy cumulative grade point average (cGPA) were used. Generally, the medical students strongly felt that anatomy is fundamental to the practice of medicine and surgery. This result was consistent with high task value scores of 5.99 ± 1.25. They were also driven by extrinsic goal orientation (5.59 ± 1.42) and intrinsic goal orientation (5.08 ± 1.26). Most medical students typically relied on elaboration (5.35 ± 1.25) ahead of other cognitive strategies namely rehearsal (5.30 ± 1.11), organization (5.15 ± 1.34), and lowest‐rated critical thinking (4.77 ± 1.19). The students also relied on resource management strategies, effort regulation (5.15 ± 1.20) and time and study environment regulation (5.03 ± 1.03) more than the moderately scored peer learning (4.95 ± 1.50) and help‐seeking (4.95 ± 1.09). In the focus group discussions, students reported that they often narrate or explain to each other what they would have read and understood from anatomy lectures, tutorials, and textbooks. They also bemoaned the lack of institutional support for stress burdens. The motivation and learning strategies subscales were not correlated with anatomy cGPA. Males were driven by extrinsic goals and experienced significantly higher levels of test anxiety than females (P < 0.05). Knowing the motivation and learning strategies students employ early in the medical curriculum can be leveraged to promote self‐directed learning and academic achievement.

Published: March 2021

AbstractThe reaction mechanism and kinetics of Sinco‐430 cation exchange resin removing Mg2+ from wet‐process phosphoric acid (WPA) were studied. Fourier transform infrared and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed that the main functional group of the resin that combined with Mg2+ ions was –SO3H. To investigate the most suitable conditions for Mg2+ removal, the operating parameters that could affect Mg2+ removal were studied. The results demonstrated that under optimal conditions (T = 50°C, solid to liquid mass ratio = 0.3, and P2O5 content = 20 wt.%) the reaction reached equilibrium in 8 min and Mg2+ removal rate reached 59.09%. The kinetic model and activation energy of the reaction were second‐order and 19.11 kJ/mol according to kinetic analysis, respectively. The diffusion model of Mg2+ removal was determined as pore diffusion according to the comparison of three different diffusion models. H3PO4 was recovered using deionized water and Mg2+ was removed from the loading resin with 20 wt.% H2SO4. In addition, after eight loading/regeneration cycles, the Mg2+ removal ability of the Sinco‐430 resin remained the same. The Mg2+ removal rate in a fixed‐bed reactor was 98.83%, higher than that obtained in a continuous stirred‐tank reactor.

Published: March 2021

AbstractThe solids circulation behaviour in a circulating fluidized bed with a concentric annular feeder (a‐CFB) was investigated, with a focus on the effect of the entrance structure design and gas flow rates in the riser and the annular region on the solids circulation rate. The pressure drop in the annular region was found to be strongly correlated to the entrance region configuration and solids circulation rate for a given type of particles. Based on a systematic experimental study of the riser bottom configuration and operating parameters on solids circulation rate of the a‐CFB, a new method was proposed for in‐situ monitoring solids circulation rate based on the measurement of pressure drop in the annular region of the a‐CFB.
