Authors: Wilson David G. , Roquet Imma , Tucker Michelle L. , Carmalt James L. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract

OBJECTIVES
Evaluation of the strength of the novel suture technique by comparison with a 2-interrupted suture technique.

SAMPLE
40 equine larynges.

PROCEDURES
40 larynges were used; 16 laryngoplasties were performed using the currently accepted 2-suture technique and 16 using the novel suture technique. These specimens were subjected to a single cycle to failure. Eight specimens were used to compare the rima glottidis area achieved with 2 different techniques.

RESULTS
The mean force to failure, as well as the rima glottidis area of both constructs, were not significantly different. The cricoid width did not have a significant effect on the force to failure.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Our results suggest that both constructs are equally strong and can achieve a similar cross-sectional area of the rima glottidis. Laryngoplasty (“tie-back”) is currently the treatment of choice for horses with exercise intolerance due to recurrent laryngeal neuropathy. Failure to maintain the expected degree of arytenoid abduction post-surgery occurs in some horses. We believe this novel 2-loop pulley load-sharing suture technique can help achieve and, more importantly, maintain the desired degree of abduction during surgery.

Authors: Araya Alejandro , Fingerhuth Sebastian 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The most important source of environmental noise is generated by vehicular traffic on roads and highways. Several organisms have reported human health and various social problems related to noise. The Agua Negra international road seeks to improve the physical and commercial connectivity of the zones located between the ports of Porto Alegre in Brazil and Coquimbo in Chile. The Chilean sector includes the expansion and improvement of the Route 41-CH. The objective of this work is establishing a methodology to determine the cities or places with tourist, commercial and recreational interest on the route that may be affected by noise and which noise mitigation measures could be used to reduce the impacts. It was concluded that it will have an impact on the communities located along the route. We present mitigation measures to reduce the impact if they are considered from the design phase of the project.

Cable Stays Vibration Mitigation by Means of Viscous Dampers Attached to Adjacent Cables
Authors: Daniel Urdăreanu Vlad , Nicolae Popa 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In the case of cable-stayed bridges with very large spans of over 400m, the common engineering practice at the national level requires the placement of vibration mitigation devices in the form of external dampers (usually of the viscous type). The main disadvantage of this solution is due to the relative positions of these devices along the cable, which are very close to the edge, in a zone where their influence on the cable is minimal.
This paper presents a different way of using these devices, by fixing them between adjacent cables. This eliminates the disadvantage presented in the previous paragraph and the efficiency of the device is expected to increase greatly. The paper presents parametric variations of the viscosity of such a device in different scenarios of their positioning along the cables, also correlated with the influence on the cable system’s dynamic response.

Abstract
Clay soils can cause significant distress in road construction due to their low strength. Stabilizing such soil improve with binder agents prior to the geotechnical works can significantly its performance and ensure safety and stability of roads while exploitation. This research envisaged the use of five different binders (lime, energy fly ash, bio fly ash, slag, cement) as an additive stabilizing agents to improve the strength parameters of soil as required in engineering industry standards. The variations of strength was assessed using measurements of P-wave velocity of the elastic waves propagating through soil specimens stabilized by different combination of binders. Measurements were performed on 28th day of soil treatment. The best effects of added binders were noted in the following combinations: cement / energy fly ash / bio fly ash (P-waves >3100 m/s), followed by combination lime / energy fly ash / GGBFS (P-waves >2800 m/s) and cement / lime / energy fly ash (P-waves >2700 m/s). Adding lime is effective due to its fixation and chemical bond with particles. The study contributes to the industrial tests on soil strength for constructing roadbed.

Sociolinguistic Competence of a Trilingual at Age Five
Authors: Mbaka Nancy W. 
Published: March 2023

Being Trilingual is no longer a strange phenomenon as it may have been sometime back. In fact, in urban settings in Kenya, children are learning English as a third language (L3) rather than a second language (L2). Canale and Swain (1980) propose that communicative competence comprises four language competencies, namely: Linguistic, Sociolinguistic, Strategic, and Discourse competencies Of concern in this study is the sociolinguistic competence of trilingual children at age five. Purposive sampling and snowballing were used to select six children: three boys and three girls. Data were collected through a conversational technique where the children were prompted to express themselves in three languages: English, Kiswahili, and their Mother Tongue. It was found that the children exhibited three main sociolinguistic competencies: code-mixing, use of colloquial Kiswahili, and use of politeness forms. Lexical code-mixing was the commonest and the children code-mixed two languages in their utterances. The findings of this study reveal that Kenyan children are on the path of trilingualism at age five, and it affirms the current language in education policy, which encourages the use of three languages at different levels of education. These findings are relevant to language policymakers today and in the future.
