Fuzzy reliability of a turbines structure system using the right triangular fuzzy number
Authors: Dhiman Pooja , Kumar Amit 
Published: September 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of a turbine structure of the oil and gas Egyptian company in terms of reliability, mean time to failure (MTTF), mean time to repair (MTTR) and mean time between failures (MTBF) under fuzzy environment and working criteria. This paper examines the impact of the failure of various components on the complete turbine structure of the oil and gas system.Design/methodology/approachTo overcome the problem of uncertain behavior of available data for various components, the right triangular generalized fuzzy number (RTrGFN) is proposed to be taken into the account to express the uncertainty which attains some tolerance in data. Furthermore, reliability indices are calculated with the help of the Lambda Tau method and the arithmetic operations on right generalized triangular fuzzy numbers (RTrGFN).FindingsThis paper explores the reliability of a repairable 3 out of 4 structure of turbines and along with the other parameters namely MTTF, MTTR and MTBF; under a fuzzy environment. Failure rates and repair times are expected to be exponential. The ranking of components of the structure is being found to decide the priority for maintenance.Originality/valueThis paper investigates the performance of the system with different spread/tolerance like 15%, 25% and 50% of crisp data. It helps to predict realistic results in the range value. To enhance the system's performance, the most important item of the system requires greater attention. For this, the authors find the sensitive part by ranking. For ranking, an extended approach has been developed to find the sensitive unit of the system by using the right triangular generalized fuzzy number. This paper explores the most and least sensitive component of the system, which helps the maintenance department to plan the maintenance action.
Preparation and characterization of self-crosslinking acrylic emulsion with different fluorocarbon chain lengths
Authors: Zhao Wanting , Shao Tantan , Chen Xiaolong , Cao Shusen , Chen Lijun 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
Fluorine materials have received the keen attention of many researchers because of their water repellency and low surface free energy. The purpose of this paper is to prepare self-crosslinking fluorocarbon polyacrylate latexes containing different fluorocarbon chain lengths by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization technology.

Design/methodology/approach
Methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA), hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) and fluorine-containing monomers were used as main monomers. The fluorine-containing monomers included hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA), dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) and trifluorooctyl methacrylate (TFMA). Potassium persulfate (KPS) was used as thermal decomposition initiator, non-ionic surfactant alkyl alcohol polyoxyethylene (25) ether (DNS-2500) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) as mixed emulsifier.

Findings
Through optimizing the reaction conditions, the uniform and stable latex is gained. The polymer of structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and contact angle (CA) were tested on latex films. The particle size and distribution range of emulsion were tested with nano particle size analyzer. After comprehensively comparing the latexes and films prepared by HFMA, DFMA and TFMA, the performance of DFMA monomer modified is better.

Originality/value
The self-crosslinking acrylic emulsion is prepared via semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization, which methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA), hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) and fluorine-containing monomers were used as main monomers. The fluorine-containing monomers were composed of hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA), dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) and trifluorooctyl methacrylate (TFMA). Potassium persulfate (KPS) was used as thermal decomposition initiator, non-ionic surfactant alkyl alcohol polyoxyethylene (25) ether (DNS-2500) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) as mixed emulsifier. There are two main innovations. One is that the self-crosslinking acrylic emulsion is prepared successfully. The other is that the effects of monomers containing different fluorocarbon chain lengths on polyacrylate, such as monomer conversion rate, coagulation rate, mechanical stability, chemical stability, emulsion particle size and storage stability, are studied in detail.

Abstract

Fire and herbivory are fundamental top‐down processes, structuring grass–tree ratios in ecosystems across a diversity of climates. Both are plant consumers that can strongly control the recruitment of woody seedlings and saplings to taller height classes. Without consumer control, many grass‐dominated ecosystems would convert into woodlands or forests. While extensively studied in savannas, few have explored the effects of these disturbance regimes on woody recruitment under temperate conditions.

We exposed saplings of five common European tree species to fire and herbivory in a full factorial experiment in a savanna‐like wood‐pasture. After 3 years, we evaluated the effects of fire and herbivory on tree sapling survival and height increment. The tree species used, varying in traits and in expected response to fire and herbivory, were Scots pine Pinus sylvestris, Norway spruce Picea abies, European oak Quercus robur, Silver birch Betula pendula and Small‐leaved lime Tilia cordata.

Fire and herbivory had a negative effect on sapling survival for all species except for Q. robur, which was not affected by fire. Both processes reduced height increment of B. pendula, while only herbivory reduced the height increment of P. sylvestris and Q. robur. At the same time, B. pendula and P. sylvestris had some of the highest increments, together with P. abies, which had unaffected height increment in all treatments. T. cordata, on the other hand, had a negative height increment across all treatments. Overall, the combined effect of fire and herbivory was similar to the effect of herbivory alone on both survival and height increment, indicating no additional effect of fire when herbivores were present.

Synthesis. Our experiment showed how fire and herbivory can strongly affect the recruitment of European temperate tree saplings on a wood‐pasture, potentially leading to comparable consumer control described for ecosystems elsewhere (e.g. savannas). Two strategies to deal with fire and herbivory were identified: tolerance (Q. robur) and avoidance (P. sylvestris and B. pendula). We conclude that both fire and herbivory may have been important drivers of structure and species composition in open ecosystems in temperate Europe in the past.
Application of calcium isotopes to the study of calcareous materials on Chinese glaze: A new methodological approach
Authors: He Li , Jian Sun , Jiayu Hou , Yinzhong Ding 
Published: September 2021

AbstractIn this work, we propose an innovative application of the calcium isotope technique for the study of calcareous materials in Chinese glazes, supported by simulation experiments. The δ44/42Ca values have been determined for limestone, plant ash and glazed ceramic samples collected from the Ru kiln in Henan Province, the Lauding kiln in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang Province, and Jingdezhen in Jiangxi Province. The results show that the δ44/42Ca values in limestone in Henan and Zhejiang are all between 0.15‰ and 0.41‰, whereas the δ44/42Ca values of plant ash from the Ru and Laohudong kilns are all between −0.23‰ and −0.04‰. This means that the calcium isotope technique can effectively identify whether calcium levels in the glazes were supplied by plant ash or by limestone materials. More importantly, the calcium isotope technique can evaluate the proportions of plant ash and limestone if the local glaze materials have been studied thoroughly. According to the calcium isotope ratios established for this study, it is speculated that for the Jingdezhen kilns plant ash was used from the Late Tang to Five Dynasties, and limestone and plant ash were used for glazes in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The calcium isotope technique can therefore offer an approach to identifying both the calcareous materials and the origins of ancient Chinese glazes, and provides a potentially powerful tool in their interpretation.

AimsThe objective of this retrospective cohort study was to provide an overview of the utilization of originator and biosimilar infliximab in the Netherlands.MethodsAll infliximab dispensings were selected from the PHARMO In‐patient Pharmacy Database from 2002–2018. Descriptive analyses were performed in order to characterise initiators and to describe switching patterns over time.ResultsOverall, 3840 patients with 61 274 infliximab dispensings were identified. 2496 patients initiated an originator infliximab and 777 patients initiated a biosimilar infliximab. Overall, 57% of the patients was female and mean age was 43.2 years. Both originators and biosimilars were mostly prescribed by gastroenterologists, followed by internists and rheumatologists. After market authorisation of the first biosimilar, the proportion of new patients initiating the biosimilar increased from 39% in 2015 to 91% in 2018. Out of 704 patients eligible for switching 34% switched. Among switchers, the proportion of females was 60% and mean age at index was 45.1 years. Among nonswitchers, 55% were female and mean age was 39.8 years. The median time to switch was 1.7 years and switchers were most frequently initiated on infliximab by a rheumatologist (42%), while nonswitchers were most frequently initiated by a gastroenterologist (42%).ConclusionThe results of this large population‐based cohort show an increase in biosimilar initiation in daily clinical practice. The number of switchers remains relatively low as nonmedical switch is not encouraged in the Netherlands.
Cord medialisation in unilateral vocal fold paralysis improves forced vital capacity
Authors: Thakar Alok , Pol Shashikant Anil , Kairo Arvind Kumar 
Published: September 2021

AbstractObjectivesThe lateralised vocal fold of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (ULVFP) is unphysiological for expiration wherein vocal folds normally adduct to increase expiratory resistance and prevent small airway collapse. ULVFP may therefore impair ventilatory function and ventilatory volume. This study seeks to test whether vocal fold medialisation improves forced vital capacity (FVC).DesignProspective inception cohort intervention study.SettingAcademic Tertiary Care Institution.ParticipantsTwenty‐five patients of ULVFP with a phonatory gap ranging from 2 to 6 mm.Main outcome measuresVocal fold medialisation was undertaken with autologous fat injection. Forced vital capacity (FVC) assessments by spirometry were undertaken pre‐treatment and 1‐month post‐treatment.ResultsImprovement in FVC was noted in all patients with the quantum of improvement ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 litres. Mean FVC improved from 3.10 L pre‐injection to 3.45 L post‐injection. (p < .001). A moderate correlation was noted between the degree of medialisation and improvement in FVC (r = .33, Pearson's correlation coefficient).ConclusionsObjective improvement in FVC is consistently noted in post vocal fold medialisation for ULVFP and is probably mediated by increased glottic expiratory resistance and consequent improvement in intrinsic PEEP.

SummaryLittle is known regarding the relationship between adverse home environments and hormones important in regulation of appetite and their impact on obesity in children and adolescents. In this study, we examined the impact of socioeconomic economic status, family stress and maternal depressive symptoms on appetite hormones, adipokines and adiposity. To determine whether adverse home environments in childhood and adolescence relate to adiposity in adolescence and disruptions in appetite hormones and adipokines, specifically lower levels of adiponectin and ghrelin and elevated levels of leptin and orexin. Adversity in the home (maternal depressive symptoms, family stress, socioeconomic disadvantage) was measured in the households of 593 Chilean youth at age 10 years (52.3% male) and in 606 youth at 16 years. At 16 years, participants provided fasting blood samples for assessment of adipokines and appetite hormones. Waist‐to‐height ratio was used to assess central adiposity. Correlational analyses examined associations between continuous levels of adversity in childhood and adolescence and appetite hormones and adiposity in adolescence. Multinomial logistic regressions compared hormone levels by tertiles of adversity. Participants were 52% male, with average age at the 16 years hormone assessment being 16.8 (n = 606, SD = 0.26). Those with highest maternal depression at age 10 had lower adiponectin OR = 0.95 [95% CI: 0.91, 0.99], p = 0.005) and ghrelin levels (OR = 0.98 [95% CI: 0.98, 1.00), p = 0.022) than those in the lowest maternal depression group at age 16. Those with the highest family stress at 16 years had lower adiponectin levels (OR = 0.93 [95% CI: 0.89, 0.98), p = 0.004) and higher central adiposity (OR = 1.05 [1.01, 1.08], p = 0.009) than the lowest family stress group. There were no significant associations found between socioeconomic status at either 10 or 16 years and appetite hormones. Results add new evidence regarding the relationship between household adversity to appetite hormones and adipokines, with the most consistent results for adiponectin. Current findings suggest that the relationship between home environment and adipokines and appetite hormones may play a role in altered adiposity in children and adolescents.
Spraying sugars, growth temperatures and N application levels change epiphytic lactic acid bacteria composition on Italian ryegrass

Published: September 2021

AbstractLactic acid bacteria (LAB) naturally present on forage crops are responsible for the silage fermentation quality. However, there are few reports on the factors affecting the distribution of epiphytic LAB on the crops. Therefore, the influences of spraying sugars, growth temperatures and nitrogen application levels on the amounts and species of LAB on Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) were evaluated in this study. Spraying xylose, fructose, glucose, sucrose and galactose significantly increased (p < 0.05) the population sizes and species of LAB on Italian ryegrass. Spraying sucrose made Italian ryegrass epiphyte the most LAB. As for the effect of temperatures, Leuconostoc mesenteroides dominated on Italian ryegrass grown at 10 and 15°C, while Lactobacillus plantarum dominated at 20°C, and Weissella paramesenteroides dominated at 25°. The population sizes and species of LAB on Italian ryegrass were the most at 15°C. When N (0, 35, 70, 105, 140 or 175 kg/ha) was applied to Italian ryegrass, LAB population sizes and species were the most at N 35 kg/ha (p < 0.05). Lactobacillus plantarum was detected in all the treatments of Italian ryegrass except the growth temperatures of 10 and 25°C.
Self‐verification behavior as an employment interview tactic
Authors: Charbonneau Brooke D. , Reed Madeline , Powell Deborah M. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractAcross three studies, we explored the construct of self‐verification behavior in the employment interview, defined as: “sharing of unembellished self‐related information that is in line with self‐views.” Using content analysis, Study 1 explored whether job applicants (N = 252) described self‐verification behavior when they were asked which strategy they used to distinguish themselves from other applicants. Self‐verification behavior was frequently mentioned in conjunction with other self‐presentation tactics, such as honest impression management. In Studies 2 and 3, we surveyed job applicants (N = 92 and N = 311) immediately following an interview. We found a positive relationship between self‐verification behavior and honest impression management and honesty‐humility, but a near‐zero relationship with interview performance. Using confirmatory factor analysis, we found that although correlated, self‐verification behavior is conceptually different from honest impression management. We suggest that measuring self‐verification behavior in interviews allows researchers to capture a broader range of potential interview strategies.

AbstractEcological speciation entails divergent selection on specific traits and ultimately on the developmental pathways responsible for these traits. Selection can act on gene sequences but also on regulatory regions responsible for gene expression. Mimetic butterflies are a relevant system for speciation studies because wing colour pattern (WCP) often diverges between closely related taxa and is thought to drive speciation through assortative mating and increased predation on hybrids. Here, we generate the first transcriptomic resources for a mimetic butterfly of the tribe Ithomiini, Melinaea marsaeus, to examine patterns of differential expression between two subspecies and between tissues that express traits that likely drive reproductive isolation; WCP and chemosensory genes. We sequenced whole transcriptomes of three life stages to cover a large catalogue of transcripts, and we investigated differential expression between subspecies in pupal wing discs and antennae. Eighteen known WCP genes were expressed in wing discs and 115 chemosensory genes were expressed in antennae, with a remarkable diversity of chemosensory protein genes. Many transcripts were differentially expressed between subspecies, including two WCP genes and one odorant receptor. Our results suggest that in M. marsaeus the same genes as in other mimetic butterflies are involved in traits causing reproductive isolation, and point at possible candidates for the differences in those traits between subspecies. Differential expression analyses of other developmental stages and body organs and functional studies are needed to confirm and expand these results. Our work provides key resources for comparative genomics in mimetic butterflies, and more generally in Lepidoptera.

AbstractBackgroundTwo methods are used to evaluate gastritis: the updated Sydney system (USS) with pathology and Kyoto classification, a new endoscopy‐based diagnostic criterion for which evidence is accumulating. However, the consistency of their results is unclear. This study investigated the consistency of their results.MethodsPatients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and were evaluated forHelicobacter pyloriinfection for the first time were eligible. The association between corpus and antral USS scores (neutrophil activity, chronic inflammation, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia) and Kyoto classification scores (atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness) was assessed.ResultsSeven‐hundred‐seventeen patients (mean age, 49.2 years; female sex, 57.9%; 450H. pylori‐positive and 267H. pylori‐negative patients) were enrolled. All endoscopic gastritis cases in the Kyoto classification were associated with high corpus and antral USS scores for neutrophil activity and chronic inflammation. A subanalysis was performed forH. pylori‐positive patients. Regarding atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, endoscopic findings were associated with USS scores. Enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness were associated with high corpus USS scores for neutrophil activity and chronic inflammation, but with low antral USS scores for atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. The Kyoto classification scores were also associated with the pathological topographic distribution of neutrophil activity and intestinal metaplasia.ConclusionsAmongH. pylori‐positive individuals, endoscopic and pathological diagnoses were consistent with atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. Enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness were associated with pathological inflammation (neutrophil activity and chronic inflammation) of the corpus; however, they were inversely associated with pathological atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. The endoscopy‐based Kyoto classification of gastritis partially reflects pathology.
