Published: December 2023

A point in the inverse limit space is said to be a cut point of this space when excluded from it, when the number of the components of that space increases. Therefore, this study aims at finding the necessary condition for fixed points in the inverse limit space to be cut points. Then, for applying the main theorem with some conditions, a sequence of upper semi continuous can be employed as a bonding function to get a union of continua as a generalized inverse limit space if there is a generalized inverse limit for each of them separately.
The Effect of Copper Doping on Some Structural and Electrical Properties of Titanium Dioxide Nanofilms
Authors: Razooqi Mohammad Adil , Majeed Zuheer Naji 
Published: December 2023

Thin films of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with several copper ratios were deposited on glass substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) for pure and doped samples (TiO2 Pure, 1 % Cu, 2 % Cu, and 3 % Cu), energy (600 mJ), and frequency (6 Hz). X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the width of the peaks decreases with increasing the ratio of doping with copper. This leads to an increase in the crystal size and in the intensity of the copper peaks, as well as a gradual decrease in the intensity of the titanium dioxide peaks. The results of the atomic force microscope showed that increasing the inoculation percentage leads to an increase in the surface roughness and the average grain diameter, and thus an increase in the growth of the particle size. The electrical tests (Hall effect) showed that the prepared films are of (n-type) and that the concentration of carriers (n) increased with the doping ratio, while the mobility values ​​(µH) decreased directly with the increase in copper. The electrical conductivity (DC) test showed an increase in the activation energy as a result of the increase in the copper inoculation percentage and thus the electrical conductivity increases.

Published: December 2023

A comprehensive study was undertaken in the Changunarayan Municipality of Bhaktapur District to conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis, analyze production functions, and evaluate the various marketing channels and associated challenges of potato cultivation. total of 100 farmers were surveyed, and gathered data were, analyzed using Excel and SPSS software. Despite an average cost per hectare of potato cultivation reaching NRs 370,662.58, which is comparatively higher than in other regions, the productivity was notably greater at 22.021 Mt/ha, surpassing the national average of 16.73 Mt/ha. With a benefit-cost ratio of 1.68, potato production was found economically viable in the region. The production function analysis, conducted using the Cobb-Douglas Model, revealed noteworthy insights among the six variables examined. Fertilizers, machinery, plant protection measures, and micronutrients were identified as underutilized inputs, as indicated by a RUE value surpassing unity. Conversely, labor cost and various other factors exhibited negative associations with average returns. The study also revealed that potato production in the area exhibited an increasing Return to Scale (RTS) value of 1.619, indicating that a 1% increase in input expenditure would lead to a 1.619% increase in returns. Farmers primarily choose a marketing channel with three intermediaries, which results in a larger market margin but a smaller share for the producers. Among the five key marketing challenges reported by farmers, the influence of intermediaries stands out as the most significant issue. In conclusion, this study highlights the pressing need for efficient marketing channels and fair pricing systems to support potato farmers in the region.

Published: December 2023

Mandarin (Citrus reticulate Blanco) has been cultivated in 56 districts of Nepal. Huge losses in mandarin were reported and use of safer alternatives to synthetic chemicals to solve post-harvest losses is a matter of great concern. An experiment was conducted at the Directorate of Agricultural Research, Lumle for two consecutive years 2019 and 2020. Mandarin having similar maturity indices were harvested and transported to DoAR, Lumle. The fruits were treated with five different botanicals (garlic extract @ 10 %, ginger extract @ 10 %, aloe vera extract @ 10 %, neem extract @ 10 %, and control) allocated in randomized complete block design with four replications. The post-harvest study was conducted for 3 weeks under laboratory conditions (7.9 ± 3° C and RH 74 ± 4%). Different parameters such as physiological loss in weight (PLW), decay loss, total soluble solid (TSS), titrable acidity (TA) and fruit weight to juice ratio were recorded. Fruit treated with ginger extract @ 10 % recorded the minimum physiological loss in weight (6.31% and 5.15%), minimum decay loss (16 % and 17%) in the year 2019 and 2020, respectively. Highest TSS: TA ratio (13.54 and 12.79) and fruit weight to juice ratio (0.33 and 0.35) was also observed in fruit treated with ginger extract @ 10 % in both years. In both years, results obtained in the fruits treated with ginger extract was followed by fruit treated with aloe vera extract and garlic extract. Control treatment gave the poor result as compared to ginger extract @ 10 %. Thus, this study concluded that the use of ginger is suitable for postharvest treatment of mandarin fruit to increase its shelf life and maintain its quality parameters.

Published: December 2023

Anti-ballistics technology's significance in safeguarding national defense and security has intensified amid rising threats and insurgencies. While prior studies have investigated advancements in anti-ballistic technologies, a noticeable gap persists in discussions involving anti-ballistics through bibliometric analysis and cutting-edge evaluations. This scarcity of research originates from the sensitivity surrounding weapon-related discourse. This article aims to bridge this gap by unveiling an exhaustive bibliometric analysis and contemporary assessment of anti-ballistics research spanning 47 years. The analysis's distinctiveness lies in its approach to addressing this research void within the anti-ballistics domain, achieved through meticulous scrutiny of existing research via bibliometric analysis techniques. The analysis was facilitated by employing Biblioshiny software integrated with RStudio and VOSviewer. Data processing encompassed keyword searches within the Scopus database, with outcomes presented in CSV format. Notably, the study's findings highlight the United States as the frontrunner in reference count and publication output within the anti-ballistics realm. The National Institute of Standards and Technology stands out with 89 articles. Furthermore, a systematic categorization of anti-ballistic materials based on their developmental applications was conducted. Temporal assessment revealed shifting research trends, transitioning from "ceramic materials" in 2016 to "nonmetallic matrix composites" in 2020, particularly for body armor applications. This endeavor involves recognizing notable contributors, categorizing diverse materials under study, and tracking research trend shifts over time. The analysis offers indispensable insights to guide diverse stakeholders' decision-making. It's noteworthy that this bibliometric analysis holds particular value for novices or those entering the field for the first time. Our study significantly enriches the anti-ballistics domain through contributions to library studies and research mapping. By presenting a comprehensive overview of anti-ballistics research trends, our analysis enhances comprehension and empowers informed decision-making for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike.

Predictive AC Control Using Deep Learning: Improving Comfort and Energy Saving
Authors: Mohd Ameeruddin Ahmad Azhan bin , Tan Wooi-Nee , Gan Ming-Tao , Yip Sook-Chin 
Published: December 2023

The growing global population and the availability of energy-hungry smart devices are critical factors in today's alarmingly high electricity usage. The majority of energy used in urban areas is consumed by buildings, with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (AC) systems accounting for a significant amount of energy use. This project proposes an AC controlling algorithm that uses the Internet of Things sensors and a deep learning framework in temperature prediction to control a single AC unit. The algorithm consists of a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to predict the indoor temperature for the nextÂ JÂ minutes. The highlight of this model is its capacity to predict the future temperature based on the predetermined AC status, whether it is switched on or off. The AC unit will be turned off if theÂ J-minute predicted temperature is within the desired thermal comfort range, and it will be turned back on if the sensor readings exceed the upper pre-set threshold. The experiment is performed on the dataset collected by Chulalongkorn University Building Energy Management System (CU-BEMS). The LSTM prediction model developed using CU-BEMS data yields an average Root Mean Squared Error and Mean Absolute Error of 0.08 and 0.03, respectively. A half-day simulation is also performed in controlling the AC unit from 7:39 a.m. to 11:35 a.m. The proposed algorithm shows that 49.00% of the time, the AC unit can be turned off while the thermal range is maintained between 27ÂºC to 27.9ÂºC, providing a strategy for managing the AC unit and achieving energy savings.

Authors: Semkina O. A. , Beloshapkina O. M. 
Published: December 2023

SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE. The high hygroscopicity and poor flowability of herbal extracts complicate the manufacturing of medicinal products based on these active substances. Microencapsulation of dry herbal extracts reduces their hygroscopicity, improves their flowability, and expands their applicability. Further development of medicinal products based on herbal extracts requires a comparative analysis of the relationships between the quality of microparticles and the selected microencapsulation method.AIM. This study aimed to conduct a practical evaluation of a previously developed microcapsule production technology and to evaluate the quality of a microencapsulated dry extract of Lycopus europaeus L. herb.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study analysed a dry extract of Lycopus europaeus herb with a thyrostatic effect, which was microencapsulated by dispersion. A film-forming agent was used to form the microcapsule shells (gelatine, grade P-11). The microcapsules were characterised by the following pharmacopoeial quality parameters: particle size, moisture content, and flowability. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the dry extract of Lycopus europaeus herb used thin-layer chromatography and spectrophotometry.RESULTS. The study identified the optimum ratios for Lycopus europaeus herb dry extract and excipients as well as the procedure for ingredient addition during the microencapsulation process. The resulting microcapsules were homogeneous particles with a diameter of 50–300 µm, a moisture content of 3.21±0.12%, and a good flow. The encapsulation efficiency of the dispersion method reached 95.0±1.3%. In contrast to non-encapsulated dry extract particles, the particles of microencapsulated Lycopus europaeus herb dry extract had a spherical shape, smooth surface, and improved technological properties.CONCLUSIONS. The authors developed a microencapsulation technology for Lycopus europaeus herb dry extract. The study results confirmed the efficiency of the microencapsulation method in reducing the hygroscopicity of Lycopus europaeus herb dry extract, increasing its stability during storage, and optimising the further development of dosage forms.
