Thermodynamics and surface properties of Fe–V and Fe–Ti liquid alloys
Authors: Akinlade O. , Boyo A. O. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
A simple statistical mechanical model, based on a quasi-lattice approximation in which one assumes the formation of complexes, has been used to study bulk properties, such as free energy of mixing, the thermodynamic activity and enthalpy of mixing, in liquid Fe –Vand Fe –Ti alloys. The energetics and its effect on the alloying behavior of the liquid alloys has been investigated with the aim of correlating bulk phenomena with surface effects. The analysis shows that, assuming the formation of intermetallic complexes of the form Fe2V and FeTi in the liquid alloys, one can explain the energetics of the bulk alloys. Our results for the bulk calculations indicate that Fe –V and Fe –Ti both exhibit a significant tendency for compound formation. From a perusal of the diffusion coefficient D, we observe the same trend towards compound formation, as demonstrated by the chemical short-range order parameter (CSRO) close to the assumed stoichiometric composition. Furthermore, using the model calculations in the bulk, we study some surface properties. Our calculations indicate that Fe segregates to the surface at all bulk compositions in Fe –Vand Fe –Ti liquid, though the segregation effect is more pronounced in the former alloy. The reason for this is that Fe –Ti is a more ordered system than Fe –V and, thus, the driving force for surface segregation in these alloys is their energetics.
Diffusional behavior of nanoscale lead inclusions in crystalline aluminum
Authors: Johnson Erik , Prokofjev Sergei , Zhilin Victor , Dahmen Ulrich 
Published: February 2022

Abstract

In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations reveal a permanent chaotic motion of nanosized liquid Pb inclusions embedded in thin aluminum foils. Individual trajectories of the inclusions were analysed to determine the character of their motion. The inclusions moving freely inside a crystal display motion with three-dimensional random walk characteristics while inclusions attached to dislocations display spatially confined random motion localized to the close vicinity of the dislocation lines. The diffusion coefficients of inclusions moving freely in the matrix were determined using Einstein’s classical equation for diffusion of Brownian particles. The diffusion coefficients of inclusions trapped on dislocations were found using an equation based on Smoluchowski’s analysis of Brownian motion of a particle under the action of a linear elastic restoring force. The dependence of the diffusivity on the size of the inclusions suggests that their mobility is controlled by kinetic processes on the inclusion/matrix interfaces. The Arrhenius analysis exhibits two regions with different temperature dependencies. We suppose that this is related to the existence of {111} facets on the inclusion/matrix interfaces.
High-pressure effect on grain boundary wetting in aluminium bicrystals
Authors: Lojkowski Witold , Otsuki Akira , Morawski Andrzej 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The effect of pressure and misorientation on grain boundary wetting in aluminium bicrystals has been investigated. The grain boundaries were of [100] symmetrical tilt type. The wetting liquid was an Sn– Zn alloy. It is shown that the wetting angle is a function of misorientation but not of pressure. The reasons of the above results are discussed, assuming a linear dependence between the interface energy and pressure. It is shown that the difference of energy of the liquid/solid and solid/solid interface as well as the misorientation dependence of energy is simply proportional to the free volume of the interfaces.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Sputtered aluminium layers from 250 to 2000 nm thick on (100) silicon have been indented to various depths and the nanoindentation load – displacement curves recorded. The loading curves were then simulated by finite element analysis and the results compared to identify the yield properties of the coating. Modelling data for thicker samples closely follows experimental data, but for thinner coatings there is a considerable gradient in properties through the film thickness.
Experimental investigation and thermodynamic calculation in the Al–Be–Si ternary system
Authors: Pan Zhu , Du Yong , Huang Baiyun 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
A thermodynamic optimization for the Be– Si system has been performed using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) technique applied to newly measured phase diagram data. The description for this binary system is then combined with the thermodynamic parameters in the Al –Be and Al –Si systems to synthesize a thermodynamic description for the Al –Be –Si ternary system. To verify the reliability of the extrapolated ternary phase diagrams, 11 decisive ternary alloys are prepared by are melting Al, Be and Si pieces and annealing at 530 °C for 8 days. Water-quenched samples are analyzed using differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX) techniques. The calculated isopleths at 94 wt.% Al, 88 wt.% Al, 50 at.% Al, and 2 wt.% Be are compared with the experimental data from the present work and the literature. The comparisons show that no ternary interaction parameter is needed for the ther-modynamic description of this ternary system. The liquidus projection and reaction scheme are also presented.

Authors: Cartigny Y. , Fiorani J. M. , Maître A. , Vilasi M. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Thermodynamic modelling of the Ca–Sn binary system was carried out. The thermodynamic parameters related to this system were determined from experimental phase diagram and thermodynamic information available in the literature. In this system the liquid phase was modelled by the association model with the “Ca2Sn” associated complex. This consideration permits to well restore experimental values. A set of thermodynamic interaction parameters, the calculated phase diagram as well as the comparison with experimental data are presented.
Effects of heat treatment on the lubricated sliding wear behaviour of zinc-based alloy containing nickel under varying test conditions
Authors: Prasad B. K. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This investigation presents the observations made pertaining to the lubricated sliding wear response of a zinc-based alloy containing nickel over a range of applied pressures and sliding speeds. Properties studied were wear rate and frictional heating. The varying wear response of the samples under different material and test conditions has been substantiated through the features of wear surfaces, subsurface regions, and debris. The role of various microconstituents in the material and their specific features have been correlated with the observed wear behaviour of the alloy in different material and test conditions.
The wear rate and frictional heating increased with pressure and speed. The data plots in general comprised initially low slope followed by a higher slope at larger applied pressures. Heat-treated samples performed better than the as-cast one except at the maximum sliding speed; a reverse trend was noted in the latter case.
The study suggests the benefits of heat treatment in terms of improved wear response of the alloy under specific test conditions. Moreover, the wear behaviour of the samples for different material and test conditions could be explained in terms of the features of their microconstituents and the predominance of one set of factors causing improved wear behaviour over the other producing a reverse effect.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by a spectrum of diseases, ranging from simple steatosis to hepatocellular carcinoma. The main factors for NAFLD are closely related to obesity, insulin resistance, intestinal microbiota alterations, hyperinsulinism, low-grade systemic inflammation, nitroxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Currently, the treatment of NAFLD is based on diet and exercise because, to date, there is no specific pharmacological agent, already approved, that raises the need for new therapeutic strategies. Nutraceuticals, such as polyphenols, have potential beneficial effects for health. In this article, the beneficial effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and (−)-epicatechin (EC) are discussed. EGCG is the main catechin in green tea, which has shown in various studies its potential effect preventing and treating NAFLD since it has shown antihyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, antioxidant, and improvement of liver lipid metabolism. However, it has been found that excessive consumption may cause hepatotoxicity. EC is widely distributed in nature (fruits and vegetables). This flavanol has shown many beneficial effects, including antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperglycemic, antithrombotic, and antifibrotic properties. It increases mitochondrial biogenesis, and it also has effects on the regulation of synthesis and metabolism of lipids. This flavanol is a nontoxic substance; it has been classified by the United States Food and Drug Administration as harmless. The EC-induced effects can be useful for the prevention and/or treatment of NAFLD.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
For the plate or multicabin structure of ships, the vibration transmission characteristics have a great correlation with the structural mode. When the excitation force frequency get close to the natural frequency of the structure, strong vibration and sound radiation will occur. Therefore, it is very important and meaningful to study the vibration characteristics and protection methods of ship structures. Based on the classic finite element method, this article studies the influence of structural forms and parameters on the vibration characteristics of typical ship structures. Taking the multicabin structure as a benchmark structure model, the influence of the structural form on vibration mode and transmission characteristics of the target deck and other cabin decks in the multicabin structure was analyzed. Then, without changing the original structural layout, the effects of different structural parameters on the vibration mode and transmission characteristics were analyzed. Finally, the vibration protection process of the ship structure was formed. The results of this study can provide methodological basis and data reference for relevant research in future.
Sense, reference, and contemporary “predicativism”
Authors: Green Karen 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Contributing to the debate between referentialist and predicativist accounts of the semantics of proper names, this paper partly endorses a recent trend to reject unitary accounts of their semantics. It does so by restoring a Fregean version of the variety of use account. It criticizes alternative variety of use accounts for not clearly distinguishing pragmatic, syntactic, and semantic issues and argues that, once these are distinguished, the necessity of accepting that names have a variety of uses, and are sometimes logical singular terms and at others logical predicates shows that Frege’s claim, that we should recognize that names have both reference and sense, is vindicated.

Abstract

Objectives
To find BRCA1/2 test selection criteria unique to the Turkish population, as well as to provide the BRCA1/2 gene mutation distributions of patient population to the literature.

Methods
Genetic counseling was given to 2,373 cases with a family history of high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer who applied to Istanbul University, Oncology Institute, Department of Cancer Genetics between 1994 and 2021 and selected by NCCN Guidelines for the BRCA1/2 test criteria. In our clinic, mutation screenings in BRCA1/2 genes were performed by Sanger sequencing method in patients admitted between 1994 and 2014 and by NGS method in patients admitted between 2015 and 2021.

Results
The overall mutation rate in our patient group selected from high-risk patients was 16.5% (391/2,373) after BRCA1/2 gene mutation screening performed in 2,373 cases who applied to the Cancer Genetics clinic. Of the patients with mutations, 57.5% (225/391) had BRCA1 mutation, 41.9% (164/391) had BRCA2 mutation, and 0.6% (2/391) had both BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic mutations. People diagnosed before the age of 60 who have a history of triple-negative breast cancer had a 28.5% overall mutation rate.

Conclusions

BRCA1/2 mutation in Turkish population were evaluated in accordance with NCCN BRCA1/2 genetic test selection criteria; we discovered that all of our study results were statistically significant (p<0.05).

Published: February 2022

Abstract
All representatives of the isotypic series LnSb2O4Cl (Ln = Gd–Lu) could be obtained as single crystals, which crystallize just like the prototypic YSb2O4Cl in the non-centrosymmetric tetragonal space group P4212. The steady decrease in lattice parameters from a = 781.08(4) pm and c = 881.47(6) pm for GdSb2O4Cl to a = 764.66(4) pm and c = 877.53(7) pm for LuSb2O4Cl reflect the consequences of the lanthanide contraction, as expected. The Ln
3+ cations reside in the surrounding of eight oxygen atoms arranged as square hemiprisms [LnO8]13−, which are linked by four of their coplanar edges to form layers according to

Extradition of European Union Citizens anywhere except the Russian Federation: The Case of I.N.
Authors: Turkina Anastasia 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In its recent practice, the Court of Justice of the European Union has held that European Free Trade Association (EFTA) nationals enjoy the same level of protection against extradition to a third state as EU citizens. This article analyses the reasoning of the Court and establishes a link with previous decisions on extradition matters. The author concludes that the test for extradition is still forming and its application lacks clarity and consistency.
The Long-term Cardiac and Noncardiac Prognosis of Kawasaki Disease: A Systematic Review
Authors: Lee Jennifer J. Y. , Lin Ethan , Widdifield Jessica , Mahood Quenby , McCrindle Brian W. , Yeung Rae S. M. , Feldman Brian M. 
Published: February 2022

CONTEXT
It is uncertain if children with Kawasaki Disease (KD) are at risk for non-cardiac diseases and if children with KD but without coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are at risk for long-term cardiac complications.

OBJECTIVE
To determine the long-term mortality and prognosis of children after KD.

DATA SOURCES
Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register.

STUDY SELECTION
Controlled trials and observational studies were included if they included children with KD and reported mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), chronic cardiac or other disease over an average follow-up of ≥1 year.

DATA EXTRACTION
Data extracted included sample size, age at diagnosis, the proportion with coronary artery aneurysms (CAA), follow-up duration, and outcome(s).

RESULTS
Seventy-four studies were included. Thirty-six studies reported mortality, 55 reported a cardiac outcome, and 12 reported a noncardiac outcome. Survival ranged from 92% to 99% at 10 years, 85% to 99% at 20 years, and 88% to 94% at 30 years. MACE-free survival, mostly studied in those with CAA, varied from 66% to 91% at 10 years, 29% to 74% at 20 years, and 36% to 96% at 30 years. Seven of 10 studies reported an increased risk in early atherosclerosis. All 6 included studies demonstrated an increased risk in allergic diseases.

LIMITATIONS
Our study may have missed associated chronic comorbidities because short-term studies were excluded. The majority of outcomes were evaluated in East-Asian patients, which may limit generalizability. Studies frequently excluded patients without CAA and did not compare outcomes to a comparison group.

CONCLUSIONS
Studies demonstrate &gt;90% survival up to 30 years follow-up. MACE is observed in children with CAA, but is not well studied in those without CAA.
Praktik Pesan Makanan melalui Go-Food di Kota Surabaya Perspektif Hukum Islam
Authors: Nuruddin Mohammad 
Published: February 2022

This study focuses on the problem of the practice of ordering food through Go-Food services on the Go-Jek application in Surabaya and the analysis of Islamic law. This type of research is a field research by using a qualitative descriptive research approach to describe the conditions, situations, or phenomena about the data obtained, namely about the practice of ordering food through Go-food services on the Go-Jek application in the city of Surabaya. Then, it is analyzed by using a deductive mindset, namely by explaining in advance about various things regarding the theory of ijarah, wakalah and the theory of buying and selling. The results of the study concluded that the application of the food ordering system through Go-Food on the Go-Jek application from the pillars and conditions that use this ijarah contract is fully appropriate and valid according to Islamic law. From the conclusion above, the author gives suggestion to the Go-Jek application development party, especially on Go-Food services to provide a time limit for customers to cancel for certain reasons, precisely before the driver completes the purchase of customer food orders at the stall/ the destination restaurant. This is to reduce the losses that will be borne by the driver.
Spectral properties of some differential operators of Sturm-Liouville type with homogeneous delay
Authors: NEDİĆ Dragana , CATRNJA Elmir 
Published: February 2022

In this paper we observe the operator $ D^{2}=D^{2}(h,H,q,\alpha)$, $h, H\in \overline{\mathbb{R}}=\mathbb{R}\cup \{-\infty,\infty\}$, $q(x)\in L_{2}\left[0,\pi \right]$, $\alpha\in (0,1) $ and construct and partially transform its characteristic function. Those transformations enable more complete asymptotic decomposition of the zeroes and eigenvalues of the operator.	The goal of this paper is to contribute to the development of the spectral theory of differential operators with homogeneous delay.

AbstractObjective. Population‐based studies of epilepsy risk factors are rare. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of various risk factors associated with new‐onset epilepsy after the age of 50 years. We included all incident cases in North Macedonia between 2015 and 2018.Methods. Study participants were ascertained from the national healthcare platform. We performed a retrospective analysis of Electronic Health Records of 2,367 patients (1,017 females and 1,350 males) whose epileptic seizures started after the age of 50 years. Patients were stratified into 10‐year age groups.Results. The most common risk factor for new‐onset epilepsy in our cohort was stroke, which was associated with new‐onset epilepsy in 20% of patients aged 50‐59 years and almost 50% of patients aged 70‐79 years. The second most frequent risk factor was neoplasm in patients aged 50‐69 years and dementia in patients older than 70 years. The other pre‐existing conditions included: metabolic disorders, traumatic brain injury, and postencephalitic and inflammatory diseases. Chronic alcoholism was the most common metabolic risk factor associated with new‐onset epilepsy and accounted for 84% of cases in this subgroup. Only metabolic disorders were significantly more frequent in males than in females (p<0.00001). We did not identify any epilepsy risk factor in 967 patients (41%). Systemic vascular risk factors were frequent in our cohort: 1,574 patients had hypertension (66%) and 449 patients had diabetes (19%), and 339 had both conditions (14%).Significance. We found that structural lesions were the most prevalent risk factor associated with new‐onset epilepsy in middle‐aged and elderly patients. Recognition of possibly modifiable factors associated with late‐onset epilepsy could have a positive impact on reducing the risk of developing epilepsy.
