Published: July 2019

The present study was carried out using 100, one-day old broiler chicks to evaluate the immunological status of broiler chicks vaccinated with Newcastle virus vaccine and infected with E coli and treated by cephradinee.At day 15th of age, broilers chicks were divided into 4 equal groups (25 chicks in each). 1st group, healthy non infected non treated broilers (control group). 2nd, 3rd and 4th groups expermintally infected with E. coli was done at 15th day of age. 2nd group infected, non treated broilers, 3rd group infected broilers and vaccinated with Newcastle disease virus vaccine, 4th group infected broilers vaccinated with Newcastle vaccine and received 20 mg/kg b.wtcephradinee in drinking water daily for 5 consecutive days. At 1st, 10th and 20th day post administration, blood samples were collected for determination cellular and humeral immune response. Infected broilers with E coli only or infected broilers and vaccinated display significant increase in leukocyte, heterophils, phagocytic activity, phagocytic index, killing percentage, nitric oxide, lysozyme activity and gamma globulin. Beside significant decrease in lymphocyte, serum total protein, albumin, total globulin, A/G ratio and HI titer coupled with insignificant decrease in esinophils, basophils and monocyte, beta globulin associated with insignificant increase in alpha globulin allover experimental period post vaccination when compared with control broilers. Vaccinated-Infected broilers that received 20 mg/kg b.wtcephradine daily for five consecutive days revealed significant increase in leukocyte, heterophils, phagocytic activity, phagocytic index, killing % and gamma globulin at 1st day post treatment coupled with insignificant increase at 10th and 20th day post treatment. In-addition to significant decrease in serum total protein, albumin, total globulin A/G ratio and HI associated with non significant decrease in esinophils, basophils, monocyte,beta globulin and non significant increase in nitric oxide, lysozyme activity and alpha globulin allover the experiment when compared with control broilers. It could be concluded that, colibacillosis in broiler chickens and cephradine induced some adverse effects on immunological status of broiler chickens. Therefore, itâ€™s important not vaccinated broiler during colibacelosis or using cephradine in treatment.Â Â

The objective of this study is to clarify the effect of cephradine on cellular and humeral immune responses in broiler chickens. One hundred one-day-old Hubbard broiler chicks were divided into four equal groups (25 chicks in each). 1st group healthy broiler chickens non-vaccinated non medicated (control group), 2nd healthy broilers vaccinated with Newcastle vaccine only, 3rd group healthy broilers received 20 mg cephradine in drinking water daily for 5 consecutive days and 4th group healthy broilers vaccinated and received 20 mg/kg b.wt cephradine daily for 5 consecutive days. At 1st, 10th and 20th day post administration, blood samples were collected for determination total and differential leucocytic count, phagocytic activity, index, killing percentage and HI titer. Vaccinated broilers by Newcastle disease virus vaccine only, showed insignificant increase in leukocytic count, lymphocyte, heterophils, nitric oxide, lysozyme activity, total protein, total, Î³ globulin and HI titers at 1st day post vaccination. Beside significant increase at 10th and 20th day post vaccination coupled with insignificant increase in eosinophils, basophils, monocyte, phagocytic activity, phagocytic index, killing %, albumin and Î± globulin and non-significant decrease in serum Î² globulin and A/G ratio allover experimental periods post vaccination. Broilers received cephradine and/or vaccinated with Newcastle vaccineeither alone or together, showed insignificant increase in leukocyte, heterophils, lymphocyte, eosinophils, basophils, monocyte, nitric oxide, lysozyme activity, total protein, albumin, total, Î±, Î², Î³ globulin, A/G ratio throughout experimental period post vaccination. Beside significant decrease in phagocytosis, phagocytic index and killing % at 1st day and insignificant decrease at 10th & 20th day post vaccination coupled with significant decrease in HI titers at 1st day post administration and insignificant decrease at 10th & 20th day post vaccination. It was concluded that vaccination by Newcastle disease virus vaccine induced immune-stimulant but cephradine provoked a remarkable immunosuppressive effect in broiler chickens. Therefore, vaccination not recommended during treatment by cephradine.Â Â

Forbidden Songs of the Pgaz K’Nyau. By Suwichan Phattanaphraiwan (“Chi”). Translated by Benjamin Fairfield.
Authors: Phattanaphraiwan Suwichan ("Chi") , Fairfield Benjamin 
Published: July 2019

The “forbidden” songs of the Pkaz K’Nyau (Karen), part of a larger oral tradition (called tha), are on the decline due to lowland Thai modernization campaigns, internalized Baptist missionary attitudes, and the taboo nature of the music itself. Traditionally only heard at funerals and deeply intertwined with the spiritual world, these 7-syllable, 2-stanza poetic couplets housing vast repositories of oral tradition and knowledge have become increasingly feared, banned, and nearly forgotten among Karen populations in Thailand. With the disappearance of the music comes a loss of cosmology, ecological sustainability, and cultural knowledge and identity. Forbidden Songs is an autoethnographic work by Chi Suwichan Phattanaphraiwan, himself an artist and composer working to revive the music’s place in Karen society, that offers an inside glimpse into the many ways in which Karen tradition is regulated, barred, enforced, reworked, interpreted, and denounced. This informative account, rich in ethnographic data, speaks to the multivalent responses to internal and external factors driving modernization in an indigenous and stateless community in northern Thailand.

Abstract
The article presents the results of numerical analyses and experimental research of the influence of various types of stators on a liquid flow through a centrifugal pump with a hole impeller. It is a continuation of authors research of cooperation pump stators with alternative types of impellers which work in ultra low specific speed. Hole impellers have become a significant alternative to classical ones in a range of extremely low specific speed n
q
<10. The aim of the research is to verify the quality as well as quantity of computer modeling results, and to estimate accuracy by examining the impact of a grid and a turbulence model with which the numerical simulations reflect the actual flow.Knowledge concerning construction of hydraulic elements of centrifugal pumps working in the range of parameters corresponding specific speed (n
q
<10) is insufficient. The outlet elements were tested in various configurations of constructional features. The complexity of the construction of the stator can significantly affect the manufacturing costs of pump unit.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
The industry needs the rotodynamic pumps operating with ultra-low specific speed and relatively low flow rate more often. Designing of such structures on acceptable efficiency level is extremely difficult and require nonstandard approach to design as for example: drilled impeller or patented by author multi-piped impeller. Such pump elements are very easy to manufacture and operate with relatively high efficiency, but cavitation behavior is unknown.
This paper focuses on experimental research in order to determine the cavitation characteristics of the drilled impellers and multi-piped impellers. The test rig was presented. Impeller models were made by means of SLS Rapid Prototyping methods. Additionally, CFD calculations were presented in order to determine static pressure distribution in the inlet sections of the investigated impellers.
Simulation model for resource-constrained construction project
Authors: Biruk Sławomir , Rzepecki Łukasz 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Repetition of the same processes on different objects or units of a construction project and their concurrent execution makes it necessary to use the same limited resources at the same time. Managers prefer simple heuristic priority rules to scheduling construction activities, but there is not one the best for all projects. In addition that the experience from deterministic scheduling problems and priority-rule methods cannot always be directly transferred to stochastic environment.
The paper presents the pure reactive simulation model for planning construction projects in random conditions, taking into account the availability of renewable resources. Conducting simulation tests allows for various priority rules to determine the distribution of construction project duration and evaluate the robustness of the schedule.
The paper analyzes the effectiveness of the selected priority rules in a pipe line project. In the analyzed project, the Dynamic Minimum Slack rule ensures the lowest average duration of the project in random conditions and the highest quality robustness. The analysis of the simulation results can help the construction manager to choose the procedure ensuring the timely completion of the construction project in the stochastic environment.

Abstract
To examine the methodology for determining the moisture diffusion behavior of lignocellulosic biomass in steady and unsteady states (two stages of a sorption isotherm), the diffusion coefficients in the steady and unsteady states (D
SS and D
US) were investigated over a range of relative humidity (RH) from 10 to 90% using a dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) apparatus and a specifically designed cell kit. Thin samples with a thickness of 50 μm were prepared from three lignocellulosic biomasses, i.e. poplar, Chinese fir and moso bamboo. Based on Fick’s first and second laws, D
SS and D
US were determined. An increase in D
SS or D
US was observed with increasing equilibrium moisture content (EMC) or transient status, regardless of the lignocellulosic biomass species. The moisture-dependent D
SS of poplar, Chinese fir and moso bamboo was similar to values previously reported. Chinese fir and moso bamboo exhibited the highest and the lowest D
SS values, respectively, when the same EMCs were achieved. The results of this study revealed that D
SS and D
US of lignocellulosic biomass (even with limited dimensions) could be determined during a sorption isotherm in a wide humidity range. Furthermore, the results are helpful for simulating moisture transport behaviors in the fields of drying, paper packaging and wooden building maintenance.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
We demonstrate a radio-over-fiber-based hybrid wavelength-division-multiplexed/time division multiplexed passive optical network (PON) to transmit 5 Gbps data rate to serve 32 subscribers. A broadband light source (BLS) is realized by mutual injection locking between two Fabry-Perot laser diodes at the transmission section to seed wavelength-division-multiplexed channels. Mutual injection locking technique is used to enhance the performance over single Fabry-Perot laser diode and 15  dB/Hz improvements in relative intensity noise(RIN) is realized in our proposed network system. All-optical up-conversion of a 10-GHz 1.25 Gbps on off keying radio frequency (RF) signal is achieved using one single-arm Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). Transmission performance over 25-km single mode fiber is investigated. Low bit error rate with enhanced eye-diagram is obtained in our proposed system. As a result, the radio over fiber (ROF)-based wavelength-division-multiplexed/time division multiplexed PON set up employing mutually injection locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes can be a better choice in high speed long-haul optical communication system.
Profile of Centralization Practices for Preparation of Non-Hazardous Drugs in Quebec Hospitals
Authors: Painchart Lucie , Palamini Marie , Odou Pascal , Bussières Jean-François 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Background
The preparation of many drugs intended for parenteral administration is centralized in the pharmacy of healthcare institutions. However, no data are available describing the range of drugs with centralized preparation. The objective was to establish a profile of centralization practices for the preparation of non-hazardous drug doses in the pharmacy departments of Quebec healthcare institutions.

Methods
For this cross-sectional descriptive study, an e-mail survey was distributed in March 2017 to the directors of the pharmacy departments of Quebec healthcare institutions. Respondents were asked to estimate the percentage of parenteral drug doses that were prepared centrally in the pharmacy, the name of each drug prepared this way, the criteria used to select drugs for central preparation, and the barriers to centralizing preparation of drug doses. Only descriptive statistical analyses were performed.

Results
Of the 30 directors of pharmacy departments invited to participate, 27 (90 %) responded, representing a total of 40 Quebec healthcare facilities. Overall, 232 individual drugs were centrally prepared in one or more of these facilities, for an overall median of 22 drugs per facility (min: 1, max: 101).

Conclusions
This is the first survey in Quebec and indeed all of Canada to identify the many medications that are centrally prepared in hospital pharmacies. The survey showed that the selection of drugs for central preparation differed widely across facilities. It would be desirable for pharmacy departments in this province to collaborate on standardizing practices for central preparations.
Eulerian modelling of compressible three-fluid flows with surface tension
Authors: Zhang Chao , Menshov Igor 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe paper addresses a numerical approach for calculating three-fluid hydrodynamics on Eulerian grids with taking into account surface tension and viscous effects. The medium considered consists of three different compressible fluids separated with interfaces. The fluids are assumed to be immiscible. The three-fluid flow is described by the reduced equilibrium model derived from the non-equilibrium three-phase model by performing an asymptotic analysis in the limit of zero relaxation time. To simulate surface tension effects, we extend the continuum surface force (CSF) model of two-fluid incompressible flow to the case of compressible three-fluid flow. A thermodynamically consistent surface energy of the compressible three-fluid flow is obtained by means of splitting the surface tension between distinct fluids into pairs of specific phase related surface tensions. Some aspects of the numerical method for solving the system of governing equations of the considered three-fluid model are discussed. Numerical results presented demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the proposed model in simulating dynamics of interfaces and surface tension effects.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg)-rich primer is considered as a substitute for high polluted chromate treatment technology to provide cathodic protection for aluminum (Al) alloy. In this paper, Mg-rich primer with comprehensive properties was prepared by modifying epoxy resin using direct mixing. Specifically, the influence factors on the dispersion of Mg powder in epoxy, the modification of epoxy resin using organic silicones and the performance of Mg-modified epoxy composite coating were studied. The results show that Mg powder with small particle size has a better dispersion in epoxy; The mechanical property such as flexibility and impact resistance decreases with the addition of Mg powder, but which was improved when using modified epoxy as the resin matrix due to introduction of Si-O-Si flexible chain; In addition, the grafting efficiency between hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane and epoxy resin was improved because of the introduced silane coupling agent like KH550 contains amino group; The electrochemical test results indicate Mg-rich primer could provide effective electrochemical protection for Al alloy by raising the corrosion potential and reducing the corrosion current density to bare substrate,respectively.

Abstract
The present work refers to describe the effects of Al2Cu variations on various properties of thick-walled functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shell. Al-25 wt.% Cu hypo-eutectic alloy ingot is melted and centrifugally casted to obtain high entropy FG composite. A series of microstructure examinations such as FESEM and EDX analysis were carried out to determine the distributions of constituent phases and elements. It is revealed that the maximum volume fraction of Al2Cu particle is reached near the inner surface with 35.7 Vol.% and then reduces gradually to 32.5 Vol.% at the outer surface of FG cylindrical shell. The effects of the variations Al2Cu along radial direction of FG tube are discussed through Vickers hardness, wear rate, coefficient of thermal expansion and compressive test measurements. The experimental results show that the wear and hardness are varied in graded manner which the highest wear resistance with wear rate of 9.1×10−5
g/mm
2 and hardness with 153HV are found towards Al2Cu enriched zone or inner periphery. Moreover, the studied FG cylindrical shell shows drop 2.5% in yield stress and 4.5% in elastic modulus from intermediate to inner layers due to Al2Cu particles clustering in metal matrix.

Abstract
cGMP plays a role in sensory signaling and plasticity by regulating ion channels, phosphodiesterases, and kinases. Studies that primarily used genetic and biochemical tools suggest that cGMP is spatiotemporally regulated in multiple sensory modalities. FRET- and GFP-based cGMP sensors were developed to visualize cGMP in primary cell culture and Caenorhabditis elegans to corroborate these findings. While a FRET-based sensor has been used in an intact animal to visualize cGMP, the requirement of a multiple emission system limits its ability to be used on its own as well as with other fluorophores. Here, we demonstrate that a C. elegans codon-optimized version of the cpEGFP-based cGMP sensor FlincG3 can be used to visualize rapidly changing cGMP levels in living, behaving C. elegans. We coexpressed FlincG3 with the blue-light-activated guanylyl cyclases BeCyclOp and bPGC in body wall muscles, and found that the rate of change in FlincG3 fluorescence correlated with the rate of cGMP production by each cyclase. Furthermore, we show that FlincG3 responds to cultivation temperature, NaCl concentration changes, and sodium dodecyl sulfate in the sensory neurons AFD, ASEL/R, and PHB, respectively. Intriguingly, FlincG3 fluorescence in ASEL and ASER decreased in response to a NaCl concentration upstep and downstep, respectively, which is opposite in sign to the coexpressed calcium sensor jRGECO1a and previously published calcium recordings. These results illustrate that FlincG3 can be used to report rapidly changing cGMP levels in an intact animal, and that the reporter can potentially reveal unexpected spatiotemporal landscapes of cGMP in response to stimuli.
