description: The effect of proportional electroluminescence (EL) is used to record the primary ionization signal (S2) in the gas phase of two-phase argon detectors for dark matter particle (WIMP) searches and low-energy neutrino experiments. Our previous studies of EL time properties revealed the presence of two unusual slow components in S2 signal of two-phase argon detector, with time constants of about 4-5 $μ$s and 50 $μ$s. The puzzle of slow components is that their time constants and contributions to the overall signal increase with electric field (starting from a certain threshold), which cannot be explained by any of the known mechanisms of photon and electron emission in two-phase media. There are indications that these slow components result from delayed electrons, temporarily trapped during their drift in the EL gap on metastable negative argon ions of yet unknown nature. In this work, this hypothesis is confirmed by studying the time properties of electroluminescence in a Thick Gas Electron Multiplier (THGEM) coupled to the EL gap of two-phase argon detector. In particular, an unusual slow component in EL signal, similar to that observed in the EL gap, was observed in THGEM itself. In addition, with the help of THGEM operated in electron multiplication mode, the slow component was observed directly in the charge signal, confirming the effect of trapped electrons in S2 signal. These results will help to unravel the puzzle of slow components in two-phase argon detectors and thus to understand the background in low-mass WIMP searches.

Social Robots in the Home: What Factors Influence Attitudes Towards their Use in Assistive Care?
Creators: name: Carradore, Marco
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021

description: Advances in technology and science have led to the application of artificial intelligence in many different areas of life. In particular, they have led to the appearance of robots in the domestic sphere. One type of robot – namely, the social robot – has been endowed with a very human aesthetic and is designed to interact with humans, and it is increasingly being used to perform “human tasks”. Social robots have also been introduced into the social services, providing companionship and assistive services for children, the infirm and the elderly. Such usage has rightly attracted the interest of the social sciences, fuelling the debate about the acceptance of social robots by their end-users. In this paper, regression analysis is applied to data from the Eurobarometer survey to investigate how socio-demographic features and self-confidence on technological development influence European citizens’ attitudes towards robots in the social services. The results show that men, with a high level of education, living in a big city and with experience of robot use have more positive attitudes towards the concept of robots for assistive services. This study emphasizes the need to consider the relation between attitudes towards social robots and their use to avoid the generation of social inequalities.

description: In this paper, we introduce an interactive coastal wave simulation and visualization software, called Celeris. Celeris is an open source software which needs minimum preparation to run on a Windows machine. The software solves the extended Boussinesq equations using a hybrid finite volume - finite difference method and supports moving shoreline boundaries. The simulation and visualization are performed on the GPU using Direct3D libraries, which enables the software to run faster than real-time. Celeris provides a first-of-its-kind interactive modeling platform for coastal wave applications and it supports simultaneous visualization with both photorealistic and colormapped rendering capabilities. We validate our software through comparison with three standard benchmarks for non-breaking and breaking waves.

description: This research attempts to develop a pH-responsive alginate-based composite hydrogel beads for encapsulation and controlled delivery of oral insulin aspart through incorporation of κ-carrageenan as a reinforcement polymer and hydrophobic modification of alginate polymer. The alginate/κ-carrageenan composite hydrogel beads were able to fully retain the insulin in conditions mimicking the stomach and release the insulin in conditions mimicking the intestine at a constant rate. Bioactivity of insulin aspart in the composite hydrogel beads after acid-pretreatment was higher than that of pure alginate beads. The results suggest that the alginate/κ-carrageenan composite hydrogel beads is a promising system for oral insulin delivery.

description: The study was conducted with the aim of development of legume based complimentary food products between age group of 6 to 18 months using drum dryer. The products can be used as a protein and energy complimented combining legumes and cereals. Accordingly, chickpea, maize and millet were selected based on their nutritional value, availability in the local market and affordability. By Applying simplex-centroid design, formulation containing 66.66% chickpea, 16.666% maize and 16.666% millet of flour was selected as the best source of protein and energy. The physical properties (viscosity and bulk density), functional properties (water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity and Dispersibility) were done, the blend with drum temperature only (130, and 150 0C), Drum speed (200 and, 300 rpm) and particle size (0.8 and 1 mm). Sensory characteristics of complementary food products (color, appearance, odor, taste and overall acceptability) were also studied to evaluate the suitability of the product. Using the blend ratio obtained from the design, the product containing 16 % protein, 382.3kcal Energy, 3.07 % of fat and 73.6 % of carbohydrate found in the complimentary food products. The viscosity and bulk density were found highly affected by drum temperature and particle size. As the drum temperature increased from 1300C to 1500C and the drum speed remain at 200 rpm and particle size 1mm. the product viscosity decrease to (13.5*10-2Pa.s, 7.36*10-2Pa.s) respectively. And lower bulk density (0.3999g/ml) were found. As the Particle size increases from (0.8mm, 1mm) the viscosity of the product decrease to (14.4*10-2Pa.s, 7.36*10-2Pa.s; 6.18; 4.91) respectively. Drum speed effect was seen on the proximate chemical composition of the product and physical properties of the product. When the drum speed increase 200 to 300 rpm viscosity was decrease (7.36*10-2, 4.91*10-2Pa.s) respectively. But bulk density showed an increment (0.399 to 0.457 g/ml). The functional properties, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity and Dispersibility of the Product (346.7%, 1.834 ml/g and 31.3%) were found to be higher than that of formulated flour (119.3%, 0.845ml/g and 74%) due to starch gelatinization. Results on the calcium, zinc and iron studies showed that (144.4, 1.926, 1.587 mg/100g) respectively and Antinutrient reduction of 43.2% in phytate and 25% in tannin. The sensory results indicated that the product produced with a temperature of 1500C, and drum speed of 300 rpm and particle size of 1mm was perceived as the most accepted product, as compared to the other formulated complementary food products. Key words: Chickpea flour, Millet flour, Maize flour, drum dryer, complementary food products.
Evaluation of adoption of LED lighting technology in Malaysia

Publisher: name: Monash University

description: Electrical energy consumption in Malaysia is rapidly increasing with illumination being the second largest contributor to this increment. Light Emitting Diode (LED) could be a viable option to reduce the illumination based energy consumption. LEDs are energy efficient and easier to recycle compared to traditional lighting sources such as incandescent and fluorescent lamps. They also have longer life time and lower failure rate. In this thesis, the feasibility of replacing the traditional light sources with LEDs is evaluated in the Malaysian context.
 In this thesis, Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is modified to understand the adoption of LED-lighting in Malaysia. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating condition, social influence and behavior intention are the basic factors in UTAUT. However, in this study, four other factors were added to investigate environmental, social and cultural effects. These factors are: past buying behavior, postmodernist values, media exposure and environmental values. Results show that, for rapid adoption of LEDs in Malaysia, technology and environmental awareness and social engagement should be enhanced simultaneously. On a global scale, replacement of traditional light sources with LEDs will result in significant benefits including considerable energy savings, substantial reduction in CO2 emissions, significant drop in the emission of pollutants such as SO2 (source of acid rain), mercury (Hg), uranium (U) and increase in financial savings. Based on the calculations in this study, it was found that, if 62% incandescent Lamps are replaced with LEDs, the emission will drop to 0.145 Mtons by 2020 in residential buildings. This corresponds to a CO2 emission reduction of 10.7 %. The LED adoption can be further encouraged through government subsidies.
 Study of beta activity of brain electroencephalography signal (EEG) under different light sources shows that the amount of attention under LED is higher compared to other sources with the same correlated color temperature (CCT). Although the participants in this study prefer fluorescent light in 3800 K in terms of pleasantness and visual comfort, they claim that light from LED in 4150 K is more natural. This study recommends the wide adoption of LED lighting in Malaysia through education. Activity theory is suggested as the basis for the development of the educational model for increasing the adoption of LEDs among public.

description: The prevalence of health-damaging behaviours is worldwide typical although the growing trend of health-damaging behaviour has a negative influence on academic achievement. Our study aims to measure the connection between health behaviour and academic achievement. We mapped the different student clusters and their characteristics, furthermore, we compared the Hungarian and international trends regarding perceived health based on HBSC 2014 (N=2732). Regarding our results, the 9th and 11th-grade students can be categorized into four groups concerning health-risk behaviour and self-esteem entitled deviant, phlegm, balanced and stressful groups. The educational level of the parents and gender had a significant influence. Significant territorial differences could be found, indicating the better mental health of students learning in West Transdanubia and the lower efficacy of those learning in Central and North Hungary. Concerning the international comparison, the ratio of students with lower self-rated health is higher among Hungarian students. The significant health-behavioural clusters and their territorial distribution highlights the huge differences in the Hungarian and international comparison. The results indicate to improve the health-awareness and academic achievement of the students, especially in the disadvantaged regions.

 The existence of O. alba subsp. cuprea, as well as the recent description of O. alba subsp. xanthostigma Rätzel & Uhlich (2004: 198), confirm the complexity of the Orobanche alba -group in the SE European-Caucasian-West Asian exclave. The distribution of O. alba subsp. xanthostigma was hitherto only imperfectly known: New records from Turkey (E. Gehroldt, pers. comm. 2011) and Bulgaria (Stoyanov 2006a), as well as own findings give us the opportunity to present an updated distribution map (Fig. 3). At least in the south-eastern and south central part of the Greater Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Russia), O. alba subsp. xanthostigma is one of the most common broomrape species. The taxon very likely can also be found in Georgia and probably also in northern Iran.
M. Aghababyan has taken photos of the taxon from several places in Armenia, especially in the north of the country (Great Caucasus; det. Rätzel 20.12.2013), but unfortunately the precise localities—except for the one given below—could not be located in the context of this work. The reported occurrences from Bulgaria (Stoyanov 2006a, on page 253) require confirmation.

description: Following in the footsteps of similar initiatives at the boardroom level in Norway and other European countries, the French government decided to impose a gender quota in academic hiring committees in 2015. The goal of this paper is to evaluate how this reform changed the way women are ranked by these committees. The reform aﬀected academic disciplines heterogeneously. I contrast the eﬀect of the reform between ﬁelds that were signiﬁcantly aﬀected, and those that already respected the quota before the reform. Drawing on a unique dataset made up of administrative data provided by French universities, I show that the reform signiﬁcantly worsened both the probability of being hired and the ranks of women, with a treatment eﬀect equivalent to a 4 standard deviation drop in h-index. There is evidence that this is driven mainly by the reaction of men to the reform, since the negative eﬀect of the reform is concentrated in committees that are helmed by men.

description: We implement a method from computer sciences to address a challenge in Paleolithic archaeology: how to infer cognition differences from material culture. Archaeological material culture is linked to cognition: more complex ancient technologies are assumed to have required complex cognition. We present an application of Petri net analysis to compare Neanderthal tar production technologies and tie the results to cognitive requirements. We applied three complexity metrics, each relying on their own unique definitions of complexity, to the modelled production sequences. Based on the results, we suggest that Neanderthal working memory requirements may have been similar to human preferences regarding working memory use today. This method also enables us to distinguish the high-order cognitive functions combining traits like planning, inhibitory control, and learnings that were likely required by different ancient technological processes. The Petri net approach can contribute to our understanding of technology and cognitive evolution as it can be used on different materials and technologies, across time and species.

The Prejudiced Attitudes of University Students Towards Women
Creators: name: Abutayeh, Aydah
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021

description: This research aims to examine the traditional stereotypes and prejudiced attitudes towards women in the Jordanian society among students of Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. A questionnaire was used and distributed to a random sample of 425 students at the university. The findings showed that the most common and highest ranking stereotypical sentiments among university students were: “women represent the family’s honor”, “women are not fit for physical work”, “Women are meant to remain home, and that their primary role in life is doing house chores”. These stereotypes are associated with the socio-cultural perception of the female body; which further contribute to the discriminatory stance against women. Furthermore, the findings reveal that university youth still perceive women as fragile creatures, unfit for leadership, and thus they are inferior to males; which renders them notionally unworthy of the right to independence and personal freedom. These prejudiced attitudes reflect the notion of custodianship applied by the whip of conventional culture in conservative societies over the body, movement, and personal freedom of the woman; hence depriving her from some civil and political rights.

description: This paper studies the effects of velocity gradients and secondary currents on the distribution of the shear force between the walls and bed of rectangular open channels. We show that neglecting the effect of secondary currents and assuming zero-shear division lines does not yield acceptable results. We, accordingly, introduce a method to determine the percentage of the total shear force acting on the walls and bed of rectangular open channels, which takes both the velocity gradients and secondary currents into account. Using the channel bisectors, along which there is no secondary flows effect, and orthogonal trajectories to isovels, along which there is no shear stress, we divide the channel cross section into three major subsections, namely bed area, walls area, and shared area. The geometry of each subsection is derived given the location of the maximum velocity. The share of the bed and wall shear forces from the shared area, are calculated afterward. The results for bed and walls shear forces agree well with the experimental data with an average relative error less than 5% for both regular flows and flows carrying suspended sediment. This method also provides a physics-driven range for the wall and bed shear forces which nicely covers the experimental data.

description: Modern developments of microfluidic devices for fluid transport have found many applications, ranging from the life sciences industries for to industrial applications. As the channel size becomes smaller, deviation from conventional theories occur. A combined approach of discrete element model (DEM) for particles and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is first applied to study of the particle-fluid flow behaviour inside micro-channel, provide details of solid structures, flows and forces to understand the fundamentals of these systems, which are not possible to obtain by experiments.

Year: 2017

description: This study was aimed to enhance the value of pulse based food products and estimate its suitability for manufacturing of extruded snack products. Response surface methodology (RSM) was implemented to study the effect of extrusion process parameter and to optimize proximate and mineral composition, phytochemicals, physical properties (expansion ratio, bulk density and specific length), functional properties (WHC, WAI and WSI), microbial load and sensory quality attributes during extrusion process. Chickpea (Desi), Haricot Bean (Nasir), Maize (Melkassa 2) and Finger Millet (Taddesse) varieties were studied for proximate composition, phytochemical content, physical properties and functional properties. By applying mixture experimental design D-optimal software formulation containing 41.1g/100g Chickpea flour,16.0g/100g Haricot Beans flour, 31.9g/100g Maize flour and 10.9g/100 of Finger Millet flour was selected as the greatest source of energy (400.561kcal) and protein (18.09g/10g). The extrusion process variables were barrel temperature (120, 140 and 160°C) and screw speed (200, 270 and 340 rpm) feed moisture (15, 16.5 and 18%) through a die diameter of 6mm. The optimum extrudate which was obtained at 120oC (barrel temperature), 340rpm (screw speed) and 15% (feed moisture content) had 16.24% protein, 6.49 % fat, 2.66 % fiber, 2.51% ash and 74.01 % total CHO and 3.38, 2.22, 15.53, 90.47mg/100g for Fe, Zn, Ca, and Mg and 38.05 % phytate and 56.34% reduction of tannins was observed in this study. The maximum water absorption index (6.017g/g) and minimum load at break (16 N) values of the extrudates from texture analyzer (LLOYD level-05) were observed at 120oC, 340 rpm screw speed and 15% feed moisture content. Sensory quality evaluation of extrudate produced at 120oC, 340 rpm screw speed and 15% feed moisture content were significantly (P<0.05) better in color (8.22 ± 0.667), appearance (8.22± 0.441) crispiness (8.44 ± 0.527) flavour (8.33± 0.50), and overall acceptability (8.33 ± 0.50). The increment in mass flow rate from 19.84g/sec to 33.82g/sec was observed due to increase in screw speed from 200 to 340 rpm. Microbiological result showed that Coliform and E. coli were not detected at all in all extrudate. The total plate count and yeast and mold count analysis was found in the safe limit according to FAO and WHO. In conclusion 120oC barrel temperature, 340 rpm screw speed and 15% moisture content have been found to be ideal operating variables for pulse-based extrudate development. Key words: - Haricot beans, finger millets, Maize, response surface methodology, mixture design, ready to eat snacks.

Geosequestration of Carbon Dioxide in Deep Saline Aquifers: Hydro-Chemical Considerations

description: Geosequestration of carbon dioxide is a promising technology to mitigate undesirable CO2 levels in the atmosphere, which is the major cause of global warming. The main aim of this research is to investigate the effect of long-term CO2-rock-fluid interactions on aquifer rocks. Assessing long-term CO2 injectivity and structural integrity of the aquifer and the caprock are key criteria to implement in large scale. Main research findings show that time-dependent degradation of rock minerals cause significant strength reductions through destabilising rock microstructure. Moreover, continuous dissolution and precipitation reactions lead to altering aquifer rock’s pore sizes and the clay content by adversely affecting on flow properties.
Women, Research and Methods. A Short Reflection on The Chicago Social Reformers
Creators: name: Cersosimo, Giuseppina
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021

description: This paper is a brief reflection on the presence of women such as Jane Addams, Florence Kelley, Alice Hamilton, and other female reformers of Hull-House, an emblem of the growing female presence in social analysis from the year 1889 ahead. It is not our goal to extol the feminist pragmatism of women active in Chicago – outside the University – but rather to consider the activity of those women in terms of the real characteristics of their position in the field of American Sociology; expecially in relation to investigations linked to the rights of individuals, women and children, and for their special contribution to the methods of their research.

description: We present the derivation of the Yang-Mills gauge theory based on the covariant Hamiltonian representation of Noether's theorem. As the starting point, we re-formulate our previous presentation of the canonical Hamiltonian derivation of Noether's theorem. The formalism is then applied to derive the Yang-Mills gauge theory. The Noether currents of U(1) and SU(N) gauge theories are derived from the respective infinitesimal generating functions of the pertinent symmetry transformations which maintain the form of the Hamiltonian.

description: Estimar el impacto de un programa de intervención sobre educación en higiene bucal en los 1000 primeros días de vida. Métodos. Estudio tipo intervención en 37 binomios madre-hijos menores de 2 años, que asisten a una institución de carácter pública en la ciudad de Cartagena-Colombia. La intervención consta de 3 etapas: 1. Recolección de información 2. Intervención de educación 3. Seguimiento. Se diseñó y aplicó un cuestionario para ser auto diligenciado antes y después de la intervención basadas en charlas demostrativas; los seguimientos se realizaron cada dos meses. Se realizó estadística descriptiva mediante frecuencias, proporciones y comparación de resultados al inicio y final de la intervención a través del Test de diferencia de proporciones. Resultados. Antes de la intervención, solo 54 % de las madres sabía qué tipo de crema dental usar y después de la intervención, este porcentaje aumentó a 97,3 %. En cuanto a prácticas, 51,3 % de los niños no aceptaban el cepillado bucal y después de la intervención aumentó a 94,5 %. Al comparar los conocimientos y prácticas antes y después de la intervención se encontraron cambios positivos con significancia estadística (p< 0.001). Conclusiones. Intervenciones basadas en la educación en Higiene Bucal a madres de niños durante los 1000 primeros días pueden presentar un impacto positivo sobre los conocimientos y las prácticas de higiene bucal de estos niños. Al reportar mejores conocimientos sobre higiene bucal en la mayoría de las madres, se verá reflejado a largo plazo en las prácticas de salud bucal tanto de ellas, como la de sus hijos y la familia.
