Formulation and Evaluation of Polymeric Nanomicelles of Gliptin for Controlled Drug Delivery
Authors: Sharma Deepika , Kumar Bhavna 
Published: February 2019

Objective:
The main objective of the study was to develop gliptin loaded polymeric
nanomicelles by direct dissolution method. The comparative evaluation studies were performed to study
the effect of polymer concentration on particle size, entrapment efficiency, loading capacity and drug
release of the formulation.

Methods:
Gliptin loaded polymeric nanomicelles were prepared by the direct dissolution method. The
formulations were prepared by varying the concentration of polymer and drug concentration was kept
constant in all the formulations. The concentration of polymer (pullulan) was maintained 0.1%, 0.5%
1% in formulation F-1, F-2 and F-3, respectively. The effect of polymer concentration on mean particle
size, zeta potential, % entrapment efficiency, % loading capacity and in vitro drug release was studied.

Results:
The optimized nanoformulation was obtained with pullulan 0.1% concentration with a mean
particle diameter of 368.2nm and zeta potential value (-7.96mV) indicating greater stability.

Conclusion:
Hence F-1 was considered to be the best formulation for the preparation of gliptin loaded
polymeric nanomicelles. Hence, it can be concluded that polymeric nanomicellar approach can be beneficial
to improve the bioavailability and poor permeability of class III drugs like gliptins and thus can be
a better approach for controlled drug delivery.
Power Transformer Fault Diagnosis using DGA and Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Shahrabad Seyed Javad Tabatabaei , Ghods Vahid , Askari Mohammad Tolou 
Published: February 2019

Background:
Power transformers are one of the most applicable electricity network devices
which transmit output power of the generator to the network through increasing voltage and
decreasing current. Due to high cost of such devices and cost of disconnecting device upon failure,
disconnection and failure of the transformer should be avoided as much as possible.

Objective:
In addition, in order to increase reliability and reduce maintenance costs, such devices
should be monitored constantly. Internal faults ionize and warm up oil and as a result, gases like
carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, ethylene and acetylene are produced. Various methods have been
proposed for diagnosing fault in power transformers where one of the most well-known methods is
dissolved gas analysis (DGA). DGA in oil is one of the effective tools for diagnosing initial faults in
transformers.

Methods:
Common fault detection methods using oil-dissolved gas analysis include Dornemburge,
Duval’s triangle, IEC/IEEE standard, key gases and Rogers. In recent years, artificial intelligence
like genetic algorithm, fuzzy logic and neural networks have been used to detect faults using DGA.
In this paper, support vector machine (SVM) and decision tree are used to detect internal faults in
power transformers.

Results:
By evaluation of the proposed methods, total accuracies of classifiers using SVM and decision
tree were 90% and 97.5%, respectively.

Conclusion:
Decision tree shows better performance and it is suggested as a proper method for obtaining
promising results.
Taxonomy on Localization Issues and Challenges in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Sharma Amit , Singh Pradeep K. 
Published: February 2019

Background:
In Wireless Sensor Networks, Localization is the most dynamic field for
research. The data extracted from the sensor nodes that carries physical location information is
very much helpful in WSNs as it is useful in major applications such as for the purpose of monitoring
of any environment, tracking and for the detection purpose. Localization is known as the estimation
of unknown node locations and its positions by communicating through localized nodes as
well as unlocalized nodes.

Objective:
The aim of this study is to present classification of various localization algorithms and
to compare them.

Methods:
The prime consideration is to know that how localization affects the network lifetime
and how these algorithms work for increasing the lifetime of a network in a severe.

Results:
This paper also aims for finding the position of the node with respect to range based, anchor
based and distributed localization techniques for harsh environments. Additionally, this paper
also features the concern that occurs with these localization techniques.

Conclusion:
The technique that gives highly accurate location coordinates and having less hardware
cost is distributed RSSI based localization algorithm.
PLAIDOYER POUR DES NON-ÉVÉNEMENTS : UNE RÉFLEXION SUR LE CENTRE D’ART WAZA
Authors: Mudekereza Patrick 
Published: February 2019

Lorsque je parle du travail du centre d’art Waza en dehors du Congo, vient souvent une série de questions auxquelles je peine à répondre : quel moment est le plus propice pour venir vous rendre visite ? Avez-vous un festival ou quelque chose de la sorte ? La réponse induite dans la deuxième partie porte à croire que l’organisation d’un événement crée un moment propice pour découvrir une ville et le travail d’une organisation. S’il est vrai que la plupart des biennales et des festivals d’art public mettent un point d’honneur à travailler leur ancrage dans la société, il est tout aussi vrai que la manière dont cette offre est «emballée» pour les visiteurs étrangers crée une distance, une sorte de bulle, qui leur impose une lecture «mondialisée» du contexte plutôt qu’une rencontre profonde et sincère avec ses acteurs. Si le centre d’art a été dans son ancienne forme et sous notre ancienne appellation, l’hôte de la deuxième et de la troisième édition de la Biennale de Lubumbashi en 2010 et 2013, sa quête de pertinence s’est tournée depuis vers d’autres préoccupations.
La réponse que j’ai envie de donner est celle de faire un plaidoyer pour un non-événement. Pas un événement qui part en vrille, qui ne répond pas aux attentes du public et de la presse, mais un non-événement minutieusement préparé en tant que tel, qui pose les bases d’une rencontre, ose être flexible, se crée avec ceux qui le vivent et se prolonge dans leur quotidien.

This study tried to reach some of this aim. The research is of three sections: the first one is the method of the study. The second section is the theory of the study which is about covering different issues. And in the third section, the researcher uses ( content analysis) method, in which he analysis why does the kurdish media concern about Turkish issues and did the practical part of the study
Foreign Capital and Colonial Development in Indonesia: A Synthesis
Authors: Lindblad Jan Thomas 
Published: February 2019

This article discusses impacts of investment by foreign firms, in particular Dutch firms, on economy and society in Indonesia during the late colonial period (1910-1940) and immediately after independence (the 1950s). It starts out with a survey of the historiography, arguing that impacts of foreign investment on the host country have not been sufficiently specified in the literature. It offers a digression on the dimensions of foreign investment in colonial Indonesia as inferred from newly available primary data highlighting the chief characteristics of such investment. The article surveys a variety of economic and social impacts on the macro level and the level of individual regions and selected firms, focusing in particular on impacts that have so far received scant attention. A major conclusion is that positive gains did materialize in the host country, both economic and social, but also that the gains stayed short of what could potentially have been realized. The Dutch private firms investing in colonial Indonesia did display a measure of corporate social responsibility but their initiatives and efforts in that vein could have reached, considering the profitability of their operations. If so, they would have had a significantly larger impact on economy and society in colonial Indonesia.
As mulheres ou os silêncios do humor: uma análise da presença de mulheres no humor gráfico brasileiro (1968-2011)
Authors: Crescêncio Cintia Lima 
Published: February 2019

A história do humor gráfico brasileiro tem sido caracterizada por obras que demarcam a existência de um humor tipicamente nacional. Tal originalidade ocasiona a publicação de inúmeros livros que se apresentam como coletâneas que reunem os principais nomes do humor gráfico no Brasil. Nesses levantamentos os homens são uma maioria absoluta e quando as mulheres não são ignoradas por completo, elas são citadas em quantidade mínima. Diante deste cenário, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar cinco coletâneas publicadas entre os anos de 1968 e 2011 e avaliar, em termos quantitativos e qualitativos, as mulheres citadas. Como contraponto aos silêncios do humor gráfico brasileiro em relação às autoras mulheres, exploro ainda jornais alternativos feministas publicados na segunda metade do século XX, para demonstrar que diante de um cenário editorial negligente à produção das mulheres, elas encontraram caminhos alternativos para publicação de seu trabalho, construindo lugares de resistência, a exemplo do contexto atual em que a Internet é suporte fundamental para publicização de cartunistas, desenhistas, ilustradoras e quadrinistas brasileiras.

Um breve panorama do humor nos quadrinhos feministas suecos a partir da obra de Nina Hemmingsson, Malin Biller e Liv Stronquist
Authors: Nogueira Natania 
Published: February 2019

A Suécia é um país que possui tradição tanto na produção quanto na participação das mulheres na cena dos quadrinhos. Mas, no início do século XXI estas mulheres passaram a ter um papel ainda maior graças a todo um contexto sócio-político que conduziu a Suécia a grandes mudanças. Foi importante nesse processo o movimento feminista e a disposição da sociedade em debater acerca da equidade de gênero. Os quadrinhos tiverem seu lugar nesse debate através de produções com um viés feminista, no qual o humor teve uma presença marcante. Para o presente artigo, utilizamos, como exemplo dessa produção, os quadrinhos de três autoras pertencentes a essa nova geração: Nina Hemmingsson, Malin Biller e Liv Strönquist. Por meio desses quadrinhos, notadamente satíricos, é possível notar a construção e descontração dos papéis de gênero assim como do próprio discurso feminista, que dá aos quadrinhos a qualidade de tecnologias de gênero.

Authors: Abdulrahman Farhan Ahmad , Nadir Hawrez Ali 
Published: February 2019

This study was conducted in Technical College of Applied Sciences, Sulaimany Polytechnic University, during 2017. Different levels of irrigation were used to production of okra plant. Complete Randomize Design used to layout of the experiment, with three level of irrigation in four replications. Yield, fresh weight of plant, dry weight of plant, yield response factor and different levels of irrigation were observed. The highest yield was given from treatment T1 (3.17 t/ha.) and the lowest was given from T3 (2.988 t/ha.). Also, the maximum fresh weight and dry weight of plant were given from T1 (61.40, 11.218 t/ha.), and their minimum was given from treatment T3 (57.00, 8.783 t/ha.). The highest water use efficiency and harvest index were obtained from T3 (1.615 kg.m-3, 0.095), and the lowest was given from treatment T1 (1.055 kg.m-3, 0.094). The crop response factor and the results in this study showed that the okra plants have a good response of water stress. As a result, we can recommend cultivating the okra at that time without irrigation in that region.

Cotton plants require sufficient water availability, especially during germination and growth and dry conditions at harvest. In drip irrigation, irrigation can be adjusted to the water needs of each type of plant that varies depending on the growth phase and the type of plant. The study aims to determine the growth and production of cotton plants that use drip irrigation systems in two different planting seasons. The study was conducted for 2 (two) consecutive years, the first study: planting using drip irrigation was carried out in August 2017 and continued with the second planting in May 2018. The research was conducted in Turucinnae Village, Lamuru District, Bone Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The research was carried out in the form of field experiments in the form of a demonstration plot using an experimental design and analysis carried out to find out and explain the implementation of drip irrigation in two different planting seasons.
Vegetative growth of cotton plants that use drip irrigation in 2017 provides better results than in 2018 seen from plant height and number of leaves, while the production of cotton plants using drip irrigation in 2017 is greater than that planted in 2018 in terms of the number of bolls. Formed and weight of cotton produced.

Published: February 2019

Electrical conductivity (EC) of nursery medium will affect germination and growth of viola (Viola cornuta L.) seedling. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of various ECs of growing medium on germination and growth of viola seedling. Research was carried out in December 2016 - January 2017 in nursery room of PT. Selektani Horticulture, Ngablak, Magelang. There were 9 EC treatments repeated 3 times therefore 27 units of experiment were tested. The observed parameters includeds germination rate (DB), and speed (KCT), plant height, number of leaves, shoot dry weight (BKBA) and root dry weight (BKA). Data were analyzed using regression and correlation tests. This study showed that there was a linear relationship between EC and DB as well as between EC and KCT. This is indicated by the following equations y = -20.771x + 99 504 (R2 = 0.9653, n = 27, y = germination (%), x = EC (dS / m) 0 HSS) and y = -5.1109x + 21.6 (R2= 0.8765, n=27, y= KCT (%KN/24hours). The critical EC needed to reach germination rate of higher than 80% was 0.94 dS/m. The correlations between DB and ec as well as KCT and EC were significant: respectively -0.98251 and -0.93621 (n = 27). The Relationships between EC and plant height, number of leaves, BKBA as well as BKA were quadratic. The optimum EC needed for seedling growth was 2.44-2.60 dS/m. The correlation betweenplant height and number of leaves was very strong as showed by the value at 0.9212. The correlation between BKBA and BKA was strong and this was indicated by the value of 0.7561.

Authors: Powałka Bartosz , Dolata Michał 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article presents a process of developing a computational model of a light construction vertical lathe. The model is made using the finite elements method. Due to the complexity of the machine tool and the optimization of the computation time superelements have been used in the model. The application of this method has reduced the computation time allowing the analysis of many variants of the mutual position of the machine components. The results of the analyzes led to the indication of weak links of the machine tool. After the improvement of the machine tool construction the movement of the tool tip and the workpiece was much smaller.
Novel Fuzzy-Based Self-Adaptive Single Neuron PID Load Frequency Controller for Power System
Authors: Eissa M. Abdullah 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This paper proposes a newly adaptive single-neuron proportional integral derivative (SNPID) controller that uses fuzzy logic as an adaptive system. The main problem of the classical controller is lacking the required robustness against disturbers, measurement noise in industrial applications. The new formula of the proposed controller helps in fixing this problem based on the fuzzy logic technique. In addition, the genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimize parameters of the SNPID controller. Because of the high demands on the availability and efficiency of electrical power production, the design of robust load-frequency controller is becoming increasingly important due to its potential in increasing the reliability, maintainability and safety of power systems. So, the proposed controller has been applied for load-frequency control (LFC) of a single-area power system. The effectiveness of the proposed SNPID controller has been compared with the conventional controllers. The simulation results show that the proposed controller approach provides better damping of oscillations with a smaller settling time. This confirms its superiority against its counterparts. In addition, the results show the robustness of the proposed controller against the parametric variation of the system.

An automated module of self-defence and masking of naval vessels of the Polish Navy with the use of miniature rocket missiles caliber 70 and 40 mm
Authors: Dobrzyński Paweł , Lipski Stanisław , Machowski Bogdan , Miętkiewicz Rafał , Olszewski Tomasz 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article is an attempt to interest the subjects associated with maritime technology — in the possibilities of increasing the safety of Polish Navy ships (or civilian ships), which may be threatened by attacks of maneuvering missiles and drones moving at low altitude at high speed. The concept proposed by the team was initially verified in simulation tests and the obtained results of these studies indicate that the automated missile self-defence system based on guided and unguided missiles with caliber 40 mm and 70 mm, can be an effective means of self-defence (even the smallest vessels). Small dimensions and mass as well as simplicity of use and reliability of this weapon system allow to believe that 40 mm MLRS1 could also be used by special forces of Polish Navy in offensive operations (destruction of lightly armoured objects of surface or ground, vehicles, force, putting smoke screens, mine mines) to 2000 m. For that reason, the system is referred to by the team of implementers as ‘pocket rocket artillery’.
Relationship Between Basic Physiochemical Properties of Seawater and Magnitude of Underwater Electric Field

Published: February 2019

Abstract
Passive defense systems which minimize chance of vessel detection have to be utilized due to application of naval mines. Passive defense and signature minimization can be regarded as not only magnitude reduction but also as its shaping. Electric field magnitude at a given depth is a function of an electric field source but also it depends on physicochemical properties of seawater — temperature and salinity. In this paper results of underwater electric field simulations are presented. Cases of various depths, temperatures and salinities are shown. Computational results are compared to underwater electric field measurements performed with portable sensor.
