AbstractWe describe the on-line algorithms developed to probe Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKID) in this paper. LEKIDs are millimeter wavelength detectors for astronomy. LEKID arrays are currently operated in different instruments as: NIKA2 at the IRAM telescope in Spain, KISS at the Teide Observatory telescope in Tenerife, and CONCERTO at the APEX 12-meter telescope in Chile. LEKIDs are superconducting microwave resonators able to detect the incoming light at millimeter wavelengths and they are well adapted for frequency multiplexing (currently up to 360 pixels on a single microwave guide). Nevertheless, their use for astronomical observations requires specific readout and acquisition systems both to deal with the instrumental and multiplexing complexity, and to adapt to the observational requirements (e.g. fast sampling rate, background variations, on-line calibration, photometric accuracy, etc). This paper presents the different steps of treatment from identifying the resonance frequency of each LEKID to the continuous automatic control of drifting LEKID resonance frequencies induced by background variations.
Effect of stochastic resetting on Brownian motion with stochastic diffusion coefficient
Authors: Santra Ion , Basu Urna , Sabhapandit Sanjib 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
We study the dynamics of a Brownian motion with a diffusion coefficient which evolves stochastically. We first study this process in arbitrary dimensions and find the scaling form and the corresponding scaling function of the position distribution. We find that the tails of the distribution have exponential tails with a ballistic scaling. We then introduce the resetting dynamics where, at a constant rate, both the position and the diffusion coefficient are reset to zero. This eventually leads to a nonequilibrium stationary state, which we study in arbitrary dimensions. In stark contrast to ordinary Brownian motion under resetting, the stationary position distribution in one dimension has a logarithmic divergence at the origin. For higher dimensions, however, the divergence disappears and the distribution attains a dimension-dependent constant value at the origin, which we compute exactly. The distribution has a generic stretched exponential tail in all dimensions. We also study the approach to the stationary state and find that, as time increases, an inner core region around the origin attains the stationary state, while the outside region still has a transient distribution—this inner stationary region grows ∼t
2, i.e., with a constant acceleration, much faster than ordinary Brownian motion.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Our world is resisting the new pandemic “severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2” (SARS-CoV-2) causing the disease known as COVID-19. To date, more than two hundred and three million cases were confirmed out of who more than four million died. Sharing data that will help the community to intervene with measures that will decrease the spread of the virus and protect the population is an obligation. This will help the world cope with this pandemic. This research aims to highlight the different criteria that will determine that the building of a health facility is ready to control the infection of this virus and similar airborne viruses. The research developed an evaluation tool that can be used by hospital administration to assess the hospital building readiness to prevent and control airborne infection from the viewpoint of architecture if it is an existing one or alternatively it can assess the design in case of a new hospital building, determining required roles and responsibilities.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
This paper includes an experimental program to study the shear behaviour of concrete beams reinforced in shear with fiber glass reinforced polymer GFRP and carbon fiber reinforced polymer CFRP stirrups manufactured onsite. A total of six specimens were tested to study several parameters including the type of FRP material used to manufacture the stirrups, the angle of inclination of the stirrups and the thickness to bend radius ratio (r/t) of the stirrups. The experimental results showed that the ultimate strength of beams reinforced with carbon fiber stirrups is significantly higher than that of beams reinforced with fiber glass stirrups for the same area, for the same area increasing the diameter increases the failure load and strains in the stirrups while decreasing the thickness decreases the failure load and strains in stirrups, due to the reduction of the stress concentration at the corners of the stirrups and that increasing the inclination angle of the stirrups with the horizontal increases the strain in the stirrups and ultimate strength.
Building envelope optimization technique to increase energy efficiency of office building in Egypt
Authors: Ramadan Ayah Mohamed 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Sustainable design is a design strategy that aims to improve environmental quality as well as the quality of a building’s internal atmosphere by limiting negative consequences on the structure and the surrounding environment. Several new building envelope technologies and concepts have been presented as solutions for enhancing indoor comfort and lowering environmental impact during building life cycles. In Egypt, the high sensitivity to temperature fluctuations resulted in an increase in power usage to meet the necessary cooling loads. Energy simulations are a common way to improve a building’s energy efficiency. Design Builder program with the Energy Plus simulation engine was used for energy analysis of the building. This was confirmed by comparing the energy efficiency performance of selected case studies of buildings with and without a sustainable development approach. In two parametric series, an existing prototype of a residential unit module will be utilized to evaluate energy performance, co2 emission and thermal comfort. It has been discovered that a building envelope with a variety of characteristics may provide the inhabitants with the highest level of residential comfort. In comparison to similar-sized structures, the building façade decreases energy usage by 80% related to CO2 emissions, according to this study.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The succession of day and night affects human beings’ psychological and health status. Therefore it is essential to transfer the proper amount of daylight. The one-directional daylight source causes the most significant problem in dwellings: the deep gloom sectors. The Clerestory is an old strategy that provides daylight and air inside zones. We develop a strategy to solve daylight problems for earth-sheltered and excavated buildings. The main goal is to measure the enhancement of daylight penetration of excavated mountainous buildings settled in cliffs at various slopes after setting Clerestory. The research presents a simulation study to test Clerestory’s capability to penetrate daylight by using the DIVA plug-in as a tool. The study model is a touristic chalet with a total built-up area of 100sq—meters in Taba, Egypt. The chalet overlooks the Red Sea with a south-oriented facade. The exposed roof’s material and the Clerestory distance inward the facade control daylight penetration and cause a homogeneous daylight distribution.
Soil-Pile Interaction for the Foundations of Bridge Abutments in Soft Clay Formations

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The success of bridge construction and operation on soft grounds requires proper planning and execution of subsurface investigation. Embankments and/or approaches constructed on weak and compressible soils suffer from time settlement induced by the embankment loads and result in down-drag and lateral forces acting on the piles supporting the bridge abutments. The lateral loads acting on piles from the movement of soil are of significant concern in the design of pile foundations since they may result in additional straining actions and deflection in the piles. Furthermore, distress of the piles and accordingly adverse effect on the stability of the supported structures might occur due to such phenomenon. This problem is studied in this paper using the 3-D numerical modeling approach utilizing the finite element method. Verification of the developed numerical model was carried out by simulating a case study of a centrifuge test and comparing the predicted and measured results. The numerical model is used to study the effect of the developed lateral forces due to the consolidation of clay on the lateral displacement and abending moment of the adjacent piles.

Abstract
The paper investigates the behavior of single vertical steel pipe pile embedded in sand subjected to compressive inclined load through MIDAS GTS/NX 2019 FEM package. The effect of the loading inclination angle and pile length and diameter on the performance of the pile were investigated. Inclined load carrying capacity and pile stiffness were presented. The pile head displacement and pile stiffness are significantly affected by load inclination angle. It was observed that, p-y curves of the pile-soil system are independent of loading inclination angle. In addition, the pile length and diameter are markedly affecting the behavior of the pile.

Published: August 2022

AbstractThe mineral filler has an important role in filling the voids between aggregates inside the asphalt matrix. This study investigates the effect of using Metakaolin (MK) as a modifier on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt. MK was added to the mixtures as a part of the filler used. As known, the hot mix asphalt (HMA) consists of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, filler material, and asphalt binder with or without existing modifiers. The components of the HMA were subjected to validation tests to check the validity of the materials for producing HMA The asphalt binder used was bitumen 60/70. Tests performed on bitumen were penetration test, softening point test, flash and firing point test. The optimum asphalt content based on the designed control mix was 5.2%. the control mix has no content of MK. MK was added as a partial replacement of filler used (limestone powder). Mk was added to the HMA by replacing 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of the filler. A comparative study was performed to evaluate the effects of HMA modification by MK. Marshall quotient (MQ) increases by 10.37% for the mix modified by 40% MK. MK has significant effects on the indirect tensile strength (ITS).

Abstract
Water scarcity is a problem that faces many regions. In a developing and arid country like Egypt, the need for freshwater is exponentially increasing. This research is an evaluation of the recycled wastewater to be used in concrete manufacturing. The treated wastewater is blended with potable water with percentages of 25%, 50%, and 100%. The mixture of the two types of water is used in concrete mixing and curing. Control specimens with pure potable water are cast for comparison. The setting time for Ordinary Portland Cement is tested using the different water mixes. The hardened concrete is tested in compression and flexural at age of 7 days and 28 days. The results show that the treated wastewater may delay both the initial and final setting. The phenomenon is more pronounced in secondary treated wastewater. For the compressive strength, both treatment regimens can be safely used. The flexural strength is reduced at late ages.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Saptosari is one of the areas in the karst terrain of Gunung Kidul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In this area, sinkholes are very common, especially in weathered and covered by soil overburden. It is known a lot of land subsidence due to sinkholes are found and reported by the local community. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to map the land subsidence hazard zone due to the presence of sinkholes. To achieve this goal, field observations and evaluation of secondary data were carried out to collect slope data, lithology, lineament of geological structures, and the location of sinkholes and subsidence that already existed. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was carried out to determine the weight of the geomorphological parameter, lithological parameter, and the distance to geological structure in order to predict the occurrence of sinkholes. The weighted results of the AHP method are then used to create a land subsidence hazard map by using the GIS-overlay method. The study reveals three subsidence hazard zones in the research area, namely (1) high susceptible area with subsidence probability of 92%, (2) moderate susceptible area with subsidence probability of 4.7%, and (3) low susceptible area zones with 0% of subsidence probability.

Abstract
The Cisaat River in Brebes Regency, Central Java, is one of the sites on Java Island where vertebrate fossils were found. Mengger Formation, composed of volcaniclastics material such as tuff and pumice fragments, contains these fossils. The presence of vertebrate fossils along with volcanic deposits has remained unclear of its deposition history. This research characterizes the volcaniclastic rocks in Mengger Formation based on geological field observation and petrography analysis. The study aims to identify and distinguish its primary and secondary volcaniclastic depositional processes. The measured stratigraphic sections reveal that the formation has 7 lithofacies from older to younger, namely grain-supported conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, sandy mudstone, matrix-supported conglomerate, tuffaceous sandstone, and tuffaceous conglomerate. The primary volcaniclastic materials comprise pumice clast, plagioclase, pyroxene, hornblende, quartz, biotite, lithic fragments, and volcanic glass. In contrast, secondary volcaniclastic or epiclastic-sedimentary materials contain lithic fragments, quartz, plagioclase, pumice clast, and clay matrix. The origin of the resedimented volcaniclastic material was probably derived from a large volume of ignimbrite near the volcano. From the deposit and measurement section, it can be concluded that the type of the Mengger volcaniclastic.

Abstract
Gold is one of the precious metals used all over the world. It is used in various ways, such as in electrical and electronic equipment, as well as in jewelry. Gold is constantly depleted, so recycling is a very important process for recovering valuable materials as secondary raw materials. In this study, the residue from a jewelry waste recycling process was used. Shaking table separation and flotation as the pre-treatment before the hydrometallurgical processes were investigated. For shaking table experiments, the effects of table angle and water flow rate were investigated and a batch-type mechanical flotation was used for the flotation experiment. The results showed that for the shaking table separation, gold recoveries were high, while the purity of gold was higher, with lower recovery.

Abstract
Talegong road, Garut, West Java, is provincial road with a length of 7 kilometers that connects Garut and Bandung. The road segment KM 2.3 – KM 7 is located between the steep slope of high hills and has potential for landslide. To find out the landslide potential, determining the characteristics of geology and engineering geology at this road segment are needed. The methods used in this research are engineering geology mapping (geomorphology, lithology, structural geology and rock mass quality) and laboratory analyses of soil and rock properties index, shear strength test, petrographic analysis and uniaxial compressive strength test. The results of geological mapping show the aspect geomorphological in the area consists of high hills with rather steep to very steep slopes. Lithological, the area consists of aphanitic andesite and porphyritic andesite. The area is dominated by Northeast – Southeast stress regime. In term of rock mass quality, the study area consists of three class with value in Rock Mass Rating classification, which are good rock, fair rock, poor rock and no value rock (soil). The study area is divided into three units in the engineering geological map: (1) unit A has fair – good rock (II – III) with rather steep - very steep slope with low landslide potential, (2) unit B has fair rock (III) with steep – very steep slope with medium landslide potential, and (3) unit C has poor – no value rock or soil (IV – 0) with a very steep slope with high landslide potential.

Abstract
A synergistic system of water falling film dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma and persulfate (PS) was set up and used for oxidizing ciprofloxacin (CIP) in water. Results of reactive species formation in the DBD-only system as well as the DBD–PS system verified the PS activation in the DBD system. Influencing factors on CIP degradation and the degradation process were also been studied. The obtained results showed that the presence of PS could greatly improve the degradation and mineralization of CIP and that the degradation efficiency could reach 97.73% after only 40 min treatment with 4 mM PS addition. The increase of PS concentration, the lower CIP concentration, the acidic solution pH and the addition of metal ions (Fe2+ and Cu2+) enhanced the CIP degradation, while the existence of Cl− and HC

had a negative effect. The experiments related to scavenger addition confirmed the contribution of the main reactive species to the CIP oxidation. Three probable degradation pathways were proposed by analyzing the inorganic ions and organic byproducts formed during the CIP degradation. The toxicity evaluation results of the CIP and its intermediates confirmed the effectiveness of the DBD–PS synergistic system.
Adult Child Schooling and Older Parents’ Cognitive Outcomes in the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE): A Quasi-Experimental Study

Abstract
A growing body of research suggests that adult child educational attainment benefits older parents’ cognitive outcomes via financial (e.g., direct monetary transfers) and nonfinancial (e.g., psychosocial) mechanisms. Quasi-experimental studies are needed to circumvent confounding bias. No such quasi-experimental studies have been completed in higher-income countries, where financial transfers from adult children to aging parents are rare. Using data on 8,159 adults aged ≥50 years in the Survey for Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (2004/2005), we leveraged changes in compulsory schooling laws as quasi-experiments. Each year of increased schooling among respondents’ oldest children was associated with better verbal fluency (β = 0.07, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.12) scores; overall associations with verbal memory scores were null, with mixed and imprecise evidence of association in models stratified by parent gender. We also evaluated associations with psychosocial outcomes as potentially important mechanisms. Increased schooling among respondents’ oldest children was associated with higher quality-of-life scores and fewer depressive symptoms. Our findings present modest albeit inconsistent evidence that increases in schooling may have an “upward” influence on older parents’ cognitive performance even in settings where financial transfers from adult children to their parents are uncommon. Associations with parents’ psychosocial outcomes were more robust.

Published: August 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo analyse whether patient–general practitioner (GP) interaction, measured by their disagreement, varies among overweight or obese patients compared with normal-weight patients.MethodsTwenty-seven GPs and 585 patients participated in the quantitative phase of the multidisciplinary INTERMEDE project and answered “mirrored” questionnaires collecting both GPs and patients’ perceptions on information and advice given at the end of the consultation. Multilevel logistic regressions were performed to explore associations between patient body mass index (BMI) and patient–GP disagreement on information and advice given during the consultation.ResultsDisagreement increased with the patients’ excess weight, and it was particularly pronounced for advice given by GPs on weight and lifestyle issues. Compared with patients with a “normal” BMI, overweight patients were more likely to disagree with their GP regarding advice given on weight loss (odds ratio [OR] = 10.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.1–27.3), advice given on doing more physical activity (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.1–3.4), and nutritional advice (OR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.5–5.6).ConclusionThese disagreements could degrade the quality of patient–physician relationship. Our study provides an opportunity for GPs to reflect on how they communicate with overweight and obese patients, particularly with regard to lifestyle and weight-related advice and interventions taking into account the patient’s representations.
