Methodological approach to the tensiometrical analysis of the blood serum samples of Duroc pigs
Authors: Belopukhov S L , Zaitsev S Yu 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe aim of this work was to compare the dynamic surface tension (DST) with biochemical parameters of the blood serum of Duroc pigs (BSDP). BSDP samples were taken after various times of pig fattening: 65 days (Group 1), 72 days (Group 2), 84-89 days (Group 3), 91-100 days (Group 4). Our approach is consisting in the BSDP-DST-measurement using all four modes of BPA-tensiometer: M1) “Standard experiment”; M2) “Experiment at constant lifetime”; M3) “Accelerated experiment”; M4) “Quick scan”. Here, we have worked out all the modes mentioned above for determining the BSDP tensiometric parameters. The BSDP-DST parameters obtained for groups 3 and 4 (84-89 and 91-101 fattening days, respectively) were very high and close in numbers. (from 73.4-74.6 mN/m for STo, to 58.1-60.5 mN/m for STm, respectively). These BSDP-DST parameters were significantly higher (7-13%) at extremely low interface “life-times” (0.01-0.1 s), as compared to those for groups 1 and 2 (65 and 72 fattening days, respectively). In contrast, the BSDP-DST parameters obtained for groups 1 and 2 were low (from 66.1-71.4 mN/m for STo, to 56.9-57.9 mN/m for STm, respectively). These data (in combination with other physical-chemical methods) can be used for the fundamental data set and monitoring the pig growth, health, productivity, etc.

Authors: Edemskiy V A , Koltsova S A 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this paper, we study the ternary generalized cyclotomic sequences with a period equal to a power of an odd prime. Ding-Helleseth’s generalized cyclotomic classes of order three are used for the definition of these sequences. We derive the symmetric 3-adic complexity of above mention sequences and obtain the estimate of symmetric 3-adic complexity of sequences. It is shown that 3-adic complexity of these sequences is large enough to resist the attack of the rational approximation algorithm for feedback with carry shift registers.
Ranking of documents of topical corpus according to their mutual relevance in the problem of estimating of affinity of a text to the sense standard
Authors: Mikhaylov D V , Emelyanov G M 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The offered paper is devoted to the problem of oneness and integrity of image for the semantic pattern (i.e., sense standard) revealed phrase by phrase for some text within a topical collection. One phrase corresponds here to an extended natural-language sentence. The basis of estimating affinity to the standard is the classifying of words of each phrase in a text according to the TF-IDF value relative to some text corpus. Texts to the corpus are pre-selected by an expert. The essence of the problem: for each phrase, its maximal affinity to the sense standard is achieved concerning the individual corpus document, and, consequently, it is necessary to estimate the mutual relevance of such documents concerning different phrases of the analyzed text. Based on distances between vectors of TF-IDF for words of a separate phrase obtained relative to different corpus documents, the significance estimation for each such document is entered into consideration to choose a pair of mutual relevant.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Inhomogeneous pseudo-random sequences of non-maximal length formed by shift registers with linear feedbacks based on a characteristic polynomial of degree n of the form ϕ(x)=ϕ1(x)ϕ2(x), where ϕ1(x) = x
m1
⊕ 1, and ϕ2(x) of degree m
2 is primitive (m

, k is a positive integer, n = m

2) are considered. Three schemes that are equivalent in terms of periodic sequence structures were considered. Of the greatest interest are the shift registers connected in an arbitrary way using a modulo-two adder, the feedbacks in which correspond to the multipliers ϕ1(x) and ϕ2(x) the polynomials ϕ(x). In this case, there is a complex process of forming output sequences, which involves both direct and inverse M-sequences. The statement about the singularity of the generated sequences at m
1 = 4 is proved, which is confirmed by their decimation with an index equal to the period of the primitive polynomial.
Maximum covariance analysis of the sea surface backscatter signal models
Authors: Pyko N S , Pyko S A , Mikhailov V N , Bogachev M I 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this work we study the applicability of the maximum covariance analysis (MCA) for the analysis of matrices characterizing the spatiotemporal models of sea surface backscatter signals for different types of sea waves. The method is based on the singular value decomposition of the covariance matrix describing the relationship between two spatiotemporal matrices. The dependence of the obtained correlation coefficients on the degree of sea roughness, as well as on the ratio of the heights of wind waves and rogue waves are determined. The statistical characteristics of the obtained correlation coefficients of the sea surface backscatter signals are analysed. Our results indicate that the MCA method, at least from the modelling perspective, could be applicable to the classification of the sea surface from its backscatter signal characteristics, including an early detection and analysis of the rogue waves onset and development.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Using the isothermal molecular dynamics and the tight-binding potential, crystallization of Ti6Al4V nanodroplets was simulated. The objects of the research consisted of 2869 atoms, including 172 Al atoms and 115 V ones. The OVITO program was employed to recognize local structures and nanophases arisen in the course of cooling nanoalloy with the cooling rates of 0.1 and 0.4 K/ps. We have found that the cooling rate effect on the structure of the Ti6Al4V nanoalloy and the thermally induced structural transformations is much more pronounced than the size effect.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
This paper considers a stochastic multi-species single resource population model. The stochastic model is obtained from perturbing the supply of resource by a time dependent force. We use analytical investigations and numerical simulations to study the dynamics of our model under chaotic and periodic environmental oscillations, and show that the stochastic dynamics of our model exhibits a strong dependence on initial parameters.
Determination of error of sector location of subterrene stabilizing section based on coordinate control data

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Results of the study of actual accuracy of the stabilizing section shell of the prototype subterrene are presented. The problem of experimental verification of the assumptions made in modeling is formulated. The research described in the article was carried out on the basis of experimental data obtained by coordinate control of the shell of the prototype subterrene. Data analysis was carried out by mathematical modeling of the surface of the shell of the stabilizing section as a whole and the surfaces of each individual sector. The obtained mathematical models are based on the approximation of sets of points obtained in the process of coordinate control by cylindrical surfaces. The article shows that at least a significant part of the deviations of the geometric shape of the section shell (from 30.3 to 52.3%) is explained by errors in the location of the sectors and errors in their radii. On the basis of the performed modeling, absolute values of the corresponding errors and actual values of the dimensions and deviations were determined. Studies confirmed the possibility of ensuring the specified accuracy of the shell surface when implementing the assembly technology used in a pilot production. At the same time, the proximity of actual deviations to maximum permissible values can lead to problems in ensuring the stable quality of subterrene case products in mass production. Correlation analysis of coordinate control data and statistical analysis of the series of residuals of developed models were carried out. Correlation analysis confirmed the dependence of deviations of experimental points on their cylindrical coordinates, which confirms the significance of the error in the location of the sectors in deviations from the geometric accuracy of the shell.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The epitaxial layers of n-n+-GaN were processed by plasma-chemical etching using a Sentech SI 500 unit equipped with an inductively coupled plasma source. The regimes of gallium nitride processing in chlorine plasma have been established, which make it possible to remove epitaxial layers of the semiconductor down to a depth of 10 μm with a smooth surface. Based on the obtained processing results, prototype samples of Schottky diode microstructures with quasi-vertical contact geometry were manufactured. The effect of pretreatment on the characteristics of instrument microstructures is demonstrated.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
A series of 4-(para-substituted phenyl)-1,2,3-selenadiazole adducts of [VO(acac)2] were studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The 4-(para-substituted phenyl)-1,2,3-selenadiazole molecules have been selected to be bound with vanadium atom in [VO(acac)2] through Se, N2 and N3. The resulting adducts have been investigated in two geometries (cis and trans) in order to show the effect of such structural change on the electronic properties of the studied adducts. The optimized geometries, (binding and reorganization) energies and the spatial distribution of the highest molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the adducts are presented and discussed.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was studied extensively to replace conventional plastic in packaging application. In this study, granule corn starch was first plasticized with water and glycerol to form TPS films and two different fillers were incorporated with TPS to form hybrid biocomposite films (TPSB). Two different fillers: Microcrystalline cellulose (MC) and Nano bentonite (NB) fixed at 1: 4 ratios in various loading (1wt%-6wt%) were incorporated in TPS to study effect of hybrid fillers on the mechanical properties of TPSB films. The effect of different loading of MC/NB on TPSB films was investigated through the structural, morphological and mechanical testing. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) shows TPS matrix and hybrid fillers are highly compatible due to hydroxyl bonding and verified through the shifting of spectra band. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) showed even distribution of fillers in the matrix of TPS. The TPSB films exhibited significant improvement 40% in elongation at break compared to pure TPS films. In this study, 5wt% is best loading of the hybrid fillers to incorporated in TPSB films as it achieved the highest value of tensile strength (8.52MPa), Young’s Modulus (42.0 MPa) and elongation at break (116.3%). Generally, previous studies showed flexibility of TPS composite films reduced with incorporating filler, however in this study, the flexibility TPSB show significant improvement compared to previous studies and exhibit promising potential in dry food packaging application.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The cathodic protection uses two-electrode polarization, which requires large currents and substantial voltages. Efforts are being made to identify possibilities for improvements by developing zero-charge corrosion protection techniques. Studies were performed to determine the zero-charges potential effect by analyzing corrosion signs on reactive metal samples such as pure Mg. Mg samples were fed by current/ voltage pulses for 120 hours, with specified pulse parameters and varied Ecorr- offsets, ranging from +2 to -218 mV. The volumetric hydrogen gas collection technique is used to determine the hydrogen evolution rate. Surface observation is carried out by stereomicroscope to determine the presence of corrosion signs on the sample surface. Overall, all current densities and hydrogen evolution rates had very low readings on the studied Ecor offset parameters. Mg samples fed with pulses at -1800 and -1900 mV vs SCE revealed zero charge potential effects since their surface was clean and showed no indications of corrosion even after being exposed to the corrosive solution for 120 hours. Thus, corrosion protection is successfully done and meets the Epzc condition.
Failure analysis of an economizer tube sheet & its cover due to corrosionand imperfection
Authors: Shamsudin Shaiful Rizam , Wardan Rajaselan , Ibrahim Faizal , Ibrahim Muhammad Lutfi 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The boiler's economizer was found to be inefficient. Corrosion is suspected to be the source of the economizer's pressure reduction. The examinations included visual inspection, stereomicroscope, metallography, elemental microanalysis by EDS, and chemical composition analysis. The economizer failed due to a weld crater caused by improper welding, which induced residual welding stress. The slight sulfur content of the condensed or flue gas that causes rusting on the economizer's outer cover is not considered a severe failure issue. Material SUS304 stainless steel is the right selection for economizer materials.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The ongoing global Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses a major threat. The spread of the COVID-19 virus is likely to occur from one location to another location due to the mobility of people. Many efforts and policies have been made by each country to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. The imposition of lockdown and large-scale social restrictions or social distancing has been widely applied to limit the transmission of this virus among the community and provincial levels. Both policies have proven effective in reducing the spread of the COVID-19 virus. To obtain the overview of this case, many researchers were conducted. Here, the Generalized STAR (GSTAR) model was applied to model the increasing number of COVID-19 positive cases per day in six provinces in Java Island. The data was recorded simultaneously in six locations, namely in the Provinces of Banten, Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta Special Region, and East Java. This paper proposes a new approach in constructing the weight matrix required to build the GSTAR model, namely Minimum Spanning Tree (MST). The weight matrix represents the relationship among observed locations. By using the MST, a topological (undirected graph) network model could be created to show the correlation, centrality, and relationship on the increase of COVID-19 positive cases among the provinces in Java Island. The GSTAR(1;1) with the inverse distance weight matrix using MST presents a good ability to predict the COVID-19 increasing cases of Java island. This is indicated by the final MAPE average score of 19.55.

Abstract
Air pollution is a well-known issue for all countries, including Malaysia. It has been stated that particulate matter that less than 2.5mm known as PM2.5 has a greater effect on health as the smaller particulate size can penetrate deep into the respiratory system and affect the cardiovascular system significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the concentration of PM2.5 for haze precautions. This study characterizes the pattern of PM2.5 concentrations involving seven stations including Alor Setar, Shah Alam, Pasir Gudang, Ipoh, Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu and Miri with seven indicator parameters (Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Humidity, Temperature and Wind Speed). PM2.5 concentrations were predicted for each station using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Descriptive and trend analysis using Mann-Kandell Trend analysis was used to describe the haze characteristics and identify significant trends in the haze selected locations in Malaysia. MLR and ANN were fitted for the data. The performance of both prediction models was compared based on R2 and Mean Square Error (MSE). The results show ANN performed better than MLR with a high value of coefficient determination (R2) and low error measure. The ANN model was used to predict the occurrence of haze for the next day in the Air Quality Index (API).

Abstract
The outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has bring so many impacts on various aspects including education. Nearly two years into the pandemic, close to half of the world’s students, including Malaysia, are still affected by partial or full closures of educational institution. In spite of this, to ensure the continuity of learning, one of the initiatives taken by our government is introducing online distance learning (ODL) as the new platforms of learning. However, undeniably, ODL is so stressful and this situation is obviously non-pleasant, especially for the long-term development of the students. Therefore, a research to find out the most influential factors, which contribute to these stresses has been conducted. In this research, a decision-making tool known as the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) has been applied. Five main factors which are time management, environment of studies, resources, family and lecturer’s concerns, with additional of twenty-one sub-factors were studied. The percentage value of each factor was calculated using the FANP, which produced the rank for each factor. Results shows that, environment of study dominates the ranks, followed by time management, lecturer’s concern, resources and the last one is family’s concern.
