Authors: K. Basava Reddy , C. Ansar Kamran , P.T. Ramesh , H.A. Upendra , Rao Suguna , V. Mahesh 
Published: September 2022

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of carvedilol and hawthorn extract in managing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) to limit the treatment cost and improve the quality of pet life. Total 165 dogs were subjected to detailed clinical and physical examination, electrocardiography and echocardiography. Out of 165 dogs, 61(36.96%) were diagnosed as DCM, out of which 30 were allocated randomly to three treatment groups comprising ten dogs in each group. Group-I dogs were treated with pimobendan, digoxin, enalapril and furosemide. In Group-II and III, pimobendan was replaced with carvedilol and hawthorn extract, respectively. Dogs with ventricular arrhythmias (Ventricular Premature Complexes, Ventricular fibrillation) were excluded from the treatment groups as digoxin is contraindicated in ventricular arrhythmias. A noticeable improvement in clinical signs, thoracic radiographic findings, left ventricular dimensions and left ventricular contractility indices was observed in the three treatment groups after 28 days of treatment when compared to the pre-treatment values. The drug's therapeutic efficacy was evaluated based on comparative assessment of post treatment left ventricular contractility indices (fractional shortening and ejection fraction). Group I had longer survival time with mean of 375 ± 14.25 days followed by Group III (264.67 ± 41.22 days) and Group II (214.57 ± 31.32 days) dogs.

Authors: Shunmugam Rajathi , Sundaram Muthukrishnan 
Published: September 2022

In this study, six animals of each rabbit, guinea pig and mongoose were used to compare the morphological features of the humerus. The biometrical parameters of the humerus, viz., mean length, width and circumference at the proximal extremity, distal extremity, and shaft were studied. In proximal extremity, anteriorly, the head of the rabbit humerus was comparatively thicker as compared to guinea pig and mongoose. The lateral tuberosity was large and less clearly divided in mongooses and the division was not visible in guinea pigs and rabbits. The lateral surface of the lateral tuberosity was found with a notch that was deep in mongooses and shallow in rabbit and guinea pig. The bicipital groove was very deep in guinea pig, less deep in rabbit and shallow in mongooses. The lateral surface of the shaft was spiral, smooth, and with musculo-spiral groove which was deep in mongooses, shallow in rabbit, and the groove was not visible in the guinea pig. On the lateral surface of the mongoose's proximal extremity of the humerus, the deltoid tuberosity was found sharp but in rabbit and guinea pig, it was blunt. The coronoid and olecranon fossa were deep in all the three species studied, but was found to be prominent in rabbit and guinea pig when compared to mongoose. Mongoose humerus was observed with an additional supracondylar foramen in the medial surface of distal one fourth of the shaft above the supratrochlear foramen.

Published: September 2022

A review of Hirschkop K. The Cambridge Introduction to Mikhail Bakhtin. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2021. xvi, 250 p. (Cambridge Introductions to Literature).
Speaking today about the importance of Mikhail Bakhtin's ideas for the humanities is restating the obvious. The book by the renowned Canadian literary and cultural studies scholar Professor K. Hirschkop, The Cambridge Introduction to Mikhail Bakhtin (2021), aims at a systematic description of M.M. Bakhtin's scholarly legacy for the English-speaking reader, primarily for students. In our view, in this edition, the author solves both the traditional tasks of a textbook-reference book, written in the genre of "Introduction," and the research tasks. The Russian thinker's theory and practice analysis is presented based on the texts of his Collected Works, which, according to Hirschkop, form an image of a "new" Bakhtin. The tried and tested scheme of the Cambridge Introduction enables the author to draw a concise sketch of the scholar's life, outline the main sources and contexts of his scholarly quest, analyze key ideas and works, and describe the process of Bakhtin’s reception in the English-speaking world.
Dynamics of Laminar Separation Bubbles on Airfoils
Authors: Yarusevych Serhiy 
Published: September 2022

Recent advancements in small and medium scale wind turbines as well as unmanned aerial vehicles brought about an increased interest in airfoil operation at chord Reynolds numbers below about 500,000. Airfoil performance in this domain of Reynolds numbers differs significantly from that common to classical aerodynamics. In particular, a laminar boundary layer on the suction side of the airfoil often separates even at low angles of attack, which detrimentally affects airfoil performance. The severity of performance degradation depends significantly on separated shear layer development. The shear layer is inherently unstable and undergoes transition to turbulence downstream of separation, which can lead to flow reattachment and the formation of a separation bubble. The associated flow dynamics plays a key role in the overall flow development over the airfoil. The seminar will present an overview of recent experimental studies that aim to provide a holistic outlook on separation bubble dynamics and its response to forcing. Moderated by Professor Tropea, the webinar will be hosted at

Analysis of the Technology and Production of 3D Animation Action Setting
Authors: Huang Xiaohui , Wang Nan 
Published: September 2022

Both human body and animation have certain lines. The human body will show various lines when walking, sitting, and running in daily life. But it is all an expression of the principle of expressive weight balance. It is necessary to outline the human body with lines in one sentence, and the animation effect should be given priority. From this sentence, we know that the action setting and the personalized display is particularly important. At the same time, different amplitude, same amplitude, different time, different quality, same amplitude and same time are all the characteristics of a character. In the process of three-dimensional animation, the twelve principles are to make the story more complete and more in line with the actual and complete deduction. This paper takes action setting, key pose, and personalized action in 3D animation as the research object, and adopts the method of combining software application with practice. First of all, the key pose is captured by shooting various action references and using scene actions. After that, the remaining keyframes are supplemented. There are two essential points in the production of keyframes. First, the lines and curves of the human body can also be called the silhouette of animation. Second, the selection and the determination of key poses are personalized action presentation. This paper gives the corresponding solutions. It is hoped that the display of key poses and personalized actions and the application of the Twelve Principles can provide valuable experience and skills for animation makers.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this study was to monitor trace metals (copper, iron and zinc) concentrations in parenchymatous organs and muscle tissue of red deer (n=23) and roe deer (n=25) that were hunted down in the middle Gemer region in south central Slovakia. Being expressed in mg kg–1 in all cases, these concentrations assumed the following values: mean renal copper concentration in red deer was 4.36, hepatic 19.65, muscle 1.96; renal iron concentration was 72.5, hepatic 131.9, muscle 45.09; mean zinc concentration in kidney was 27.77, in liver 30.22 and in muscle 29.58 , respectively. In roe deer, mean level of copper in kidney was 4.83, in the liver 26.4, in muscle tissue 2.1; mean concentration of iron in kidney was 66.69, in liver 122.83, in muscle tissue 49.07; mean concentration of zinc in kidney was 27.34, in liver 29.76, and in muscle tissue 24.37, respectively. Concentration of metals under study in different age groups showed that the values rose proportionally with age except for zinc concentration, where the highest Zn concentrations were detected in muscle of young animals. In other trace metal levels no significant differences were detected between age groups, males or females. Based on the given results, the Revuca district does not show itself as the most polluted region considering surveyed heavy metals, but nevertheless the presented results document that the presence of heavy metals in the tissues of game is still an interesting object for the next studies.

New composite mixtures have been created to remove and dissolve asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits (ARPD) of the Uzen and Karazhanbas oilfields. The analysis of the structural-groupcomposition of ARPD was carried out and the solvent capacity of binary solvent systems containing straight-run gasoline and o-xylene was evaluated. Atactic polypropylene in an amount of 0.1 -0.5 mass.% was used as the active component.
The selection of ARPD solvent compositions and an assessment of their effectiveness were carried out in dynamic and static modes.
It was revealed that the created composite systems provide complete destruction and dissolution of the ARPD, the solvent composition containing 50 mass.% of the o-xylene, 50 mass.% of the straight-run gasoline and 0.5 mass.% of the atactic polypropylene (APP) has the best washing, dissolving and removing effect. When using this solvent composition, a maximum increase in solvent saturation with high molecular weight paraffin compounds is observed.
Fundamental reasons for Exxonmobil’s expulsion from the Dow Jones industrial average on aug 31, 2020: lessons and implications for the global oil market and Kazakhstan
Authors: Kulekeev Zh. A. , Pak Ye. A. 
Published: September 2022

This article provides a reasonable explanation for Exxonmobils unprecedented expulsion from the Dow Jones Industrial Average on August 31, 2020 based on the Kondratieff Wave Concept and Capital Overaccumulation Theory.
Authors of this paper suggest that the crisis in the oil market in 2020, triggered by the coronavirus, was expected and could be explained by the economic origins of development, namely, the change of the 5th technological mode to the 6th one. Taking into account the fact that oil is the main energy source of the 5th technological mode, it is obvious that its change will affect the oil market. At the same time, the process of the oil market losing its positions is not spontaneous, since the intensive development of new technologies and a sharp increase in renewable energy investments have led to a decrease in oil consumption.
On a new Cordaitean Stem, Cordaites Sahnii, from Central Shansi, China
Authors: Hsu Jen , Bose M.N. 
Published: September 2022

A silicified stem collected by F. L. Yuan from the Yang-Chu district (37º 8’: 112° 6’) of Central Shansi, China, is considered to be a new species of Cordaites. The pith is fairly large and discoid. The bark is represented by some layers of crushed tissues. The secondary wood consists only of tracheides and rays and is devoid of annual rings, resin canals and resin cells. Bordered pits are confined in the radial walls of tracheides and are generally uni- and biseriate, alternately arranged, and mostly flattened into hexagons. Triseriate pits are found only at the terminal part of racheides. The xylem rays are uni- to biseriate, about 1-10 cells high with bordered pits, confined in radial walls of ray cells. In each "cross field" there are one to four elliptical bordered pits.
The geological age of this fossil is thought to be Upper Carboniferous or Lower Permian.
The specific name Cordaites Sahnii sp. nov. is suggested in memory of the late Professor B. Sahni.
Bucklandia Sahnii sp. nov. from the Jurassic of the Rajmahal Hills, Bihar
Authors: Bose M.N. 
Published: September 2022

The description of this new species of Bucklandia is based on specimens from Amarjola, Amrapara, Rajmahal Hills, India.
The stem is covered with persistent leaf-bases which are very variable in shape and size. Pith wide, surrounded by a broad zone of xylem, phloem and bark. The importance of this stem lies mainly on the secondary wood which is compact with sharply marked growth rings. Medullary rays are very conspicuous by their number and crowded occurrence. Most of the rays are uniseriate, but biseriate ones also occur frequently. The tracheids of the early wood have mainly scalariform pitting. The early wood shows various types of pitting, varying from scalariform to multiseriate. Pits seen on the radial walls of the rays are bordered. The number of bordered pits in a cross-field varies from 1 to 6 or more. Primary xylem is endarch.
B. Sahnii differs from B. indica in having tracheids with scalariform as well as multiseriate bordered pits; no scalariform pitting was observed in B. indica. Comparisons have been made with the fossil Cycadeoidean stems and Homoxylon rajmahalense. The secondary wood of B. Sahnii has been found to be very similar to that of H. rajmahalense and now H. rajmahalense has been said to be a Bennettitalean wood.
