The pitfalls of the unconventional process capability indices
Authors: Pal Surajit , Gauri Susanta Kumar 
Published: April 2023

For assessing capability of a normal process with upper specification limit (USL) conventionally Cpu index is estimated to facilitate better decision making in product and process management. But, in practice, many quality characteristics having USL only, e.g. count data, proportion defective etc. are discrete and follow Poisson or binomial distributions. Some unconventional indices (e.g. Cu , Cfu ¸ Cpcu and Cpyu) are proposed in literature for assessing capability of Poisson or binomial processes. Due to legacy of usages of Cpu index and its interpretations, a user of an unconventional index often tends to interpret its values with reference to the values of Cpu for the bad, good or highly capable normal processes, and get a false impression about the capability of the concerned Poisson or binomial process. In this paper, the key features of those unconventional indices are highlighted and then some numerical analysis is carried out for assessing the interpretation issues associated with these unconventional indices. The results of these analyses reveal that although there is no interpretation issue for the unconventional index Cu , there are serious interpretation issues with all other unconventional indices. The mathematical relationships of estimates of other unconventional indices with the estimate of Cu index are established. It is recommended to convert the estimates of other unconventional indices into estimated Cu value using those relationships before any decision making. Otherwise, users of the other unconventional indices may inadvertently be led to erroneous decision making.

Published: April 2023

Antimicrobial resistance is a global issue. Euphorbia plants are used locally to treat microbial infections. This study examined the antimicrobial potential of Euphorbia graminea stem and root extracts. The stems and roots extracts of E .graminea were extracted using 80% methanol and tested for antimicrobial activity at concentrations between 4.69-300mg/mL against non-clinical isolates (S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, C. albican, A. niger). The active roots extract was fractionated using vacuum liquid chromatographic fractionations (VLC) and the resulting fractions bulked and tested against the organisms at 6.25-100mg/mL. The MIC of extracts and vlc bulked fractions were tested at 0.39-6.25 mg/mL. The root extract recorded higher antimicrobial activities over the stem extract especially against S. aureus and E.coli, hence was fractionated. Among the vlc sub-fractions of the roots extract, fractions A (2) recorded no activity against the test organisms while fractions C (9-10) recorded 7.50 and 3.50 mm against S. aureus and E. coli only at the maximum concentration of 100mg/mL. However, fractions B (3-8) conspicuously gave zones of inhibitions far higher than the other fractions. This study has shown that the roots extract of E. graminea has higher antimicrobial activities more than the stems, further justifying the ethno-botanical potentials of the plant in treating skin infections.

Authors: Sergeeva T. G. , Nikiforova G. I. 
Published: April 2023

Currently, there is a process of redistribution of existing cargo flows, an active search is underway for alternative options for the delivery of goods, and actual logistics chains are being formed. Logistics companies in the context of existing prohibitions and restrictions are forced to find new markets. The long-term vector of cooperation from the western side is moving to the east. In these rapidly changing conditions for the functioning of the country’s economy, the importance of domestic road and rail transport is growing. Road transport is the most rapidly rebuilding in the development of new transport chains. The importance of rail transport also remains high, especially when transporting goods over long distances. Improving the efficiency of logistics providers directly depends on the choice of business strategy and the development of the company as a whole.Tools are presented to assess the effectiveness of logistics providers. Methods are proposed for performing such an analysis, allowing to draw conclusions about the required number of transport infrastructure facilities, the choice of transport mode for the full development of a given cargo flow. The result of the study was the analysis of a way to minimize the costs of logistics providers using the method of comparative analysis. This method takes into account the costs of maintaining transport infrastructure facilities, maintaining and servicing vehicles, organizing transportation, by searching for the break-even point of a logistics company.

Becoming of railway education in Azerbaijan
Authors: Eyvazov R. A. 
Published: April 2023

The history of the formation and development of railway education in Azerbaijan from the end of the 19th century is considered until the early 1930s; goals, organization and content of the educational process in educational institutions at the railways, forms of educational institutions, problems of training national personnel for the railway industry. It is noted that despite the existing problems in the training of national personnel, primarily related to ignorance of the Russian language, by the end of the 19th century. The first railway engineers from among the Azerbaijanis began to appear.This period of time is associated with important stages in the history of the region, the country and the whole world. If the opening of the first railway line in Azerbaijan was associated with the rapid development of the oil industry, then the expansion took place against the background of the peak of the economic power of the Russian Empire, and subsequently the outbreak of the First World War. A difficult period for the railways of Azerbaijan came after the revolutions of 1917, during the confrontation between the revolutionary forces of the Bolsheviks and local authorities, part of the railways was put out of action. Attempts to rebuild the destroyed tracks were made by the national government of Azerbaijan, but the railway was fully restored only after the establishment of Soviet power in the country.The improvement of educational institutions on the railway is inextricably linked with the development of the railway industry. All historical and political changes that had an impact on the industry were reflected in the process of training specialized personnel.

Background he need of delimiting the bonding area on microshear bond strength (µSBS) test remains an unclear issue. In addition, there are different types of tube to perform the resin composite cylinders on µSBS test. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the adhesive area delimitation and type of tube used to build up specimens for µSBS testing of adhesive systems, to enamel and dentin. Methods 120 bovine incisors were ground to achieve flat buccal enamel (n=60) and dentin (n=60) surfaces. Specimens of each substrate were randomly allocated into 6 groups (n=10) according to the adhesive system-a two-step self-etch (Clearfil SE Bond) and a universal adhesive (Scotchbond Universal Adhesive) applied in the self-etch and etch-and-rinse modes– and type of tube used to build up the specimens: starch and polyethylene. 4 resin composite cylinders (Filtek Z250) were made on each surface; in 2 of them the area delimitation was performed. The specimens were subjected to µSBS test after 24 h of water storage at 37°C. Data were submitted to three-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc tests (α=0.05). Results The delimitation of the adhesive area did not influence on the bond strength to dentin (p=0.349) nor to enamel (p=0.158). The type of tube differently affected the ranking of adhesives in both substrates. Conclusions The delimitation of the adhesive area does not influence on the µSBS to enamel and dentin, irrespective of the tube type used to build up the resin composite specimens. The tube type’s impact on the bond strength depends on the dental substrate and adhesive system.

Published: April 2023

Purpose: Field experiment was conducted at the Biotechnology Advanced Research Centre Farm, Garki-Abuja during 2022 cropping season to evaluate the effect of spacing on growth and grain yield of cowpea varieties. The experimental plot was ploughed and harrowed after which lining out was carried out. There were 24 plots with three replications. Each replicate consisted of 8 plots. Each treatment was in a plot size of 2.0 m x 2.0 m (4.0 m2). The alley way between replicates plots was 1.0 m and within replicates was 1.0 m. The treatments consisted of four spacing, (65 x 20 cm, 75 x 20 cm, 85 x 20 cm and 95 x 20 cm) designated as S1, S2, S3, and S4 and two cowpea varieties (TVU 14346 and TVU 14788). The treatments were 4 x 2 factorial experiment and fitted into a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), replicated three times and data were collected on plant height per plant, number of leaves per plant, number of pods, pod length, number of seeds per plant, 100 seed weight, seed weight and grain seed yield. The seeds were sourced from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture IITA) Ibadan. Two seeds were planted at the depth of 4 cm and later thinned to one three weeks after planting.
Methodology: The treatments were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using CROP STAT statistical package and significant means compared using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT).
Findings: Results obtained revealed that the growth parameters of the plants increased as the plant aged with the highest number of leaves obtained from TVU 14788 (40.20) variety. There was significant (p≤0.05) difference in the yield performance with the highest grain yield gotten from TVU 14788 (7.42 t/ha) and the plants spaced with S1 (8.79 t/ha) gave the highest mean grain yield while the least mean value was received from S4 (3.98 t/ha).
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: From this study, it could be stated that for optimum yield performance TVU 14788 and S1 thrived better than other treatments evaluated and could be recommended for farmers within this ecological zone.
