Published: May 2024

Gas turbines are a well-known rotating machines used in a variety of industrial sectors. However, the aforementioned turbines are highly sensitive to climatic changes such as variations in temperature and humidity, which can significantly affect their performance. Focusing on the being cited limitations, and aiming at the improvement of the system performances, it is important to control the ambient air temperature. In this context, the current study analyzes the design of an enhanced air-cooling system by putting forth a novel and practical method for raising output while lowering investment costs and ensuring steady and dependable operation. Firstly, the thermodynamic analysis of the realistic MS-7001 is carried out. Then, the feasibility of an air-cooling system for the MS-7001 turbine used at the Natural Gas Liquefaction complex – Skikda is conducted before starting the prototyping process. The proposed system uses a water evaporative cooler as a pre-cooler to reduce the temperature by around 12°C, while, increasing the relative humidity to around 90%, In order to ensure the thermal effectiveness of the system, a compressed air injection station is used for the production of a cold air at high pressure. CFD analysis results and conducted experiments on the proposed prototype have confirmed that it is effective and can be adapted to both wet and dry climates, even under hard variations. The adopted technique enhances the system efficiency and makes it possible to maintain the nominal operating point of gas turbines independently of external variations of atmospheric condition, without modifying their composition, which minimizes investment, development and maintenance costs.

Published: May 2024

In this paper, we propose a novel method for designing non-stationary biorthogonal wavelets that leverages Bezout equations to compute wavelet filter coefficients. Our approach integrates cardinal Chebyshev B-splines of varying degrees (second, third, and fourth) as bases for constructing these wavelets, providing explicit formulations for both low-pass and high-pass filters at all levels. By employing this method, we streamline the design process, making it more efficient and accessible while accommodating diverse processing requirements. The utilization of Bezout equations offers a systematic framework for deriving wavelet filter coefficients, enhancing the reproducibility and reliability of the design process. This systematic approach ensures that the resulting wavelets possess desired properties such as vanishing moments, smoothness, and optimal localization. Moreover, by incorporating cardinal Chebyshev B-splines, we can effectively capture intricate signal and image features, addressing challenges encountered in traditional wavelet design methods. Our method not only simplifies the design process but also provides a comprehensive solution by explicitly formulating filters and dual filters across all levels. This comprehensive approach ensures that the resulting wavelets meet the specific demands of applications in signal and image processing, including compression, denoising, and pattern recognition. These advancements hold significant implications for various domains, including information technology, healthcare, and engineering, where efficient and reliable processing techniques are crucial. Moving forward, it is imperative to refine algorithms, assess parameter robustness, and conduct thorough empirical validations across diverse datasets and application scenarios. This will ensure the efficacy and scalability of our proposed method and pave the way for further advancements in non-stationary wavelet design and its applications. By continuously improving and validating our approach, we can foster innovation and enhance practical outcomes in a wide range of fields.

Authors: Violato Efrem , Edwards Michelle , Shaw Linda 
Published: May 2024

Introduction
In healthcare simulation, the appropriate level of stress produced through physiological and psychological arousal is necessary for effective experiential learning. While beneficial stress promotes learning, excessive stress inhibits learning. Animal Assisted Interventions may be a viable method to support learners experiencing excessive stress post-simulation. Animal Assisted Interventions have been used therapeutically with positive effects though there is an absence of research on Animal Assisted Interventions in healthcare simulation. This study investigates the efficacy of an Animal Assisted Intervention compared to an intervention control to reduce negative affective arousal post-simulation.
Methods
Primary Care Paramedic, Animal Health, and Respiratory Therapy students were recruited for the study. The study utilized an experimental design. After a simulation, known to induce stress and potentially negative affective arousal, participants were randomly assigned to an Animal Assisted Activity with a Canine or to Diaphragmatic Breathing. Negative affective arousal was measured post-simulation and post-intervention using a Visual Analogue Scale.
Results
Forty-five students participated in the study. Pre-intervention scores showed moderate levels of anxiety, stress and confusion. Both interventions led to a significant decrease in emotional affect. Participants in the Canine condition reported significantly lower levels of Anxiety compared to the Breathing Condition. Participants and facilitators expressed positive emotions related to the canine’s presence.
Conclusions
The presence of a canine was well received by all, and Animal Assisted Interventions can fit seamlessly into the post-simulation period to reduce anxiety after a simulation. Animal Assisted Activities may be best utilized for simulations known to be emotionally distressing and intensive.

Los medios de producción y reproducción parten de la premisa de que quienes estudian desarrollan en los currículos las competencias necesarias para insertarse en el mundo laboral. Estas competencias incluyen y no se limitan a las relacionadas con el uso de las tecnologías y su integración en los diversos escenarios profesionales en el Siglo XXI. De acuerdo con Gramsci (1932) la hegemonía espera de las clases trabajadoras unos conocimientos necesarios para mantener los medios de producción y reproducción necesarios en las sociedades modernas. Esta premisa, cuando coincide con revoluciones industriales como la que estamos viviendo (Revolución Industrial 4.0), se ve afectada en la medida de que quienes tienen la responsabilidad de enseñar no tienen la formación ni la experiencia con las tecnologías que pudieran integrar en el ejercicio de enseñanza-aprendizaje que, eventualmente, serán parte del entorno laboral de los futuros egresados. El propósito de este ensayo fue reflexionar sobre las destrezas tecnológicas de quienes enseñan y de quienes vienen a aprender, tomando como referente dos modelos de integración de la tecnología en la enseñanza así como varias teorías del aprendizaje. El desarrollo acelerado de las tecnologías y los lapsos de tiempo entre revoluciones industriales, cada vez más cortos, dificultan el desarrollo de destrezas tecnológicas de quienes enseñan mientras que los estudiantes llegan con más destrezas tecnológicas que quienes les enseñan. Este ensayo concluye que las instituciones deberán realizar evaluaciones y revisiones curriculares en lapsos menores de tiempo mientras que los docentes deberán actualizarse en el uso y manejo de las tecnologías.

Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and water scarcity are the biggest problems in the agriculture sector. These problems can arise in arid and semi-arid areas with water scarcity and low soil fertility. Cotton in south Punjab faces these problems during growth and development stages, so the yield results are lower than in other cotton-producing regions. This study was designed to assess the potential of different cotton genotypes grown on various water and nitrogen (N) applications. This study involves seven cotton crop genotypes with three irrigation levels, i.e., 18, 13, and 9 irrigations with N application at 200, 250, and 300 kg ha-1 under randomized complete block design (RCBD) factorial arrangement with three replications of each treatment. The data regarding plant growth, yield, and physiology was collected. The results indicated that Genotype IUB-13 showed a higher N uptake of 0.84% among the other seven genotypes tested at (T2). Among the seven genotypes tested, NAIB-878 demonstrated a significantly higher value of lint weight 1200 g in block-1 and T2. The finding of this study concluded that higher N levels under deficit irrigation could help to reduce the yield gaps by increasing the growth of cotton genotypes under the climatic conditions of Multan.

An experiment was conducted to assess the pollinator community of onion (Allium cepa L.) as well to find the pollinators contributing to a higher onion seed production. Fifteen insect pollinator species belonging to two orders and two families were found to be visiting onion flowers. The dwarf honeybee, Apis florea F. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) was most frequent pollinator among bees. The maximum visitation rate was recorded in the case of Eristalinus aeneus S. (Diptera: Syrphidae), while the maximum stay time was recorded for A. florea. For observing the pollination effectiveness, we used pollinator exclusive approach, and four pollination trials were maintained i.e., 100%, 50%, 25% and 0% pollination. Pollinator effectiveness was accessed in terms of yield parameters such as umbel weight, number of seed and seed weight. Compared to 0% pollination, plants with 100% and 50% pollination levels showed 44- and 19-times higher seed production in onion, respectively. Six major pollinators were tested for their pollination efficiency. The single visit efficiency in terms of the number of seeds showed that plants with A. florea pollination showed higher seed yield. There was an increase in the number of seeds and seed weight per umbel, proving that A. florea is an effective pollinator in onion production. Moreover, syrphid flies also contributed to the onion seed production, though they were less efficient pollinators.

Termite monitoring is an important part of designing the management strategy. In the current study, termite activity was observed at four sites in Multan (three structures and one agriculture area). For this purpose, monitoring traps consisted of plastic bin and wood pieces were buried in soil. The termite activity was observed on weekly basis for two months during March and April 2022. The results indicated that there were five species (Odontotermes spp., Microcerotermes spp., Amitermes spp., Microtermes spp. and Coptotermes spp.) infesting the buildings and agriculture area. The lowest termite contacts in traps were observed on the 1st week which were increased with the passage of time (maximum contacts recorded on 4th week of April). Similarly, the numbers of termites were also less at the 1st inspection at all sites (24-2059 numbers per station) and maximum numbers of termites per station were recorded on 4th week of April. The results will be helpful to manage termite infestation.

Kekebalan yang didapatkan seseorang melalui imunisasi merupakan kekebalan aktif, sehingga apabila terpapar suatu penyakit tertentu maka hanya akan mengalami sakit ringan dan tidak sampai sakit. Alasan informasi berupa kurangnya pengetahuan ibu tentang kebutuhan, kelengkapan dan jadwal imunisasi, ketakutan akan imunisasi dan adanya persepsi salah merupakan hal yang sering terjadi. Akan tetapi yang paling berpengaruh adalah karena ketidaktahuan ibu akan pentingnya imunisasi, ketidaktahuan waktu yang tepat untuk mendapatkan imunisasi dan ketakutan akan efek samping yang ditimbulkan imunisasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan ibu balita dengan kelengkapan imunisasi dasar. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain Cross sectional Study, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 50 orang ibu balita. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden memiliki pengetahuan kurang yaitu sebanyak 26 orang atau sekitar 52%, imunisasi tidak lengkap pada anaknya yaitu 28 orang atau 58%. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan antara pengetahuan ibu tentang imunisasi dengan kelengkapan imunisasi dasar pada balita dengan p value 0,019 (p < 0,05). Disarankan kepada Petugas Kesehatan di wilayah kerja Puskesmas untuk lebih meningkatkan lagi promosi kesehatan tentang pentingnya imunisasi khususnya pada ibu hamil dan ibu bayi, sehingga tindakan pencegahan penyakit melalui kegiatan imunisasi dapat berjalan lancar
