Product identity and its impact on discrete event observability

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Sensing of the specific identity of products moving through the manufacturing supply chain is typically indirect. Usually, such information is inferred from local proximity data coupled with appropriate computer based tracking models which align this data to the last known point of identity recognition. So-called Automated Identification systems promise to address some of the limitations of these approaches by providing automated, ubiquitous, item level product identity information at any point in the supply chain. One interpretation of the impact of such a facility is in terms of the enhanced observability of the (discrete-event) state space which represents the production, storage, transportation and retail processes to which a product is subject during its life cycle. This paper examines this extended notion of observability and illustrates its impact on physical systems represented by such discrete event systems via a materials handling example. Practical implications for industrial control are also considered.
Recovery of ecosystems pollution by contaminants of potential concern using phytoremediation techniques

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Phytoremediation is a technology that uses plants to break down, remove, and immobilize contaminants in surface water, shallow groundwater, and sediment to achieve cost savings compared with conventional treatments. This study describes a marshy land on an explosives manufacturing site in India that consistently reported elevated concentrations of nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, perchlorate, and lead (contaminants of potential concern—CoPC). The study also illustrates the potential for addressing the human health and environmental risks associated with the explosives manufacturing industrsy in India using innovative, sustainable, and carbon-neutral techniques. This work focuses on reconstructed marshy lands, desedimentation, microwatershed management, and phytoremediation using Phragmites and Vetiveria species (also known as vetiver) to reduce contaminants in surface water and groundwater, improve stormwater management and carbon capture, and increase natural capital like biodiversity. The results obtained during the trial indicate that the selected indigenous species are effective and can be used to remediate sediment and shallow groundwater for many CoPC in tropical climates. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2024;20:1987–2002. © 2024 SETAC Key Points The results obtained during the trial indicate that the selected indigenous species are effective and can be used to remediate sediment and shallow groundwater for many CoPC in tropical climates. If we drew a life cycle based on this study, it would be as follows: contaminants deposited to nature (soil) are extracted by plants (natural, no chemical intervention), and as the plants uptake the contaminants, they are harvested and turned into compost, which can again return to the soil (nature). This approach can reduce contaminants in both sediment and water, and is a low-cost and environmentally friendly remediation alternative to more traditional methods.

Based on extensive fieldwork and a thorough knowledge of the scholarly literature, the author examines the theoretical underpinnings of the 'silk and bamboo' instrumental ensemble traditions of the Chaozhou, Hakka and Cantonese peoples of South China.
Using basic equations in the assessment control of oil spill in Nigeria

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The large scale (xyz) oil spillage of March 24, 1988 tested spill preparedness and response capabilities of both the industry and government which proved, individually and collectively, to be wholly insufficient to control an oil spill of the magnitude. The assessment of corporate preparedness for an oil spillage has been expressed principally in two ways. An assembly of spill response equipment is identified with or equated to a magnitude of spillage. On the other hand, the manufacturer’s stated performance is equated to response capacity. These publicized levels of preparedness have been proved wrong by many a spill internationally and in Nigeria in particular, making the methods of assessment inadequate and -unacceptable. This paper introduces a new measure, the response capacity factor, THE RESPONSE CAPACITY FACTOR, for preparedness assessment defined as the ratio of a reference time duration T (a function of the sensitivity and vulnerability of the site environment) to the estimated duration T during which a spilled quantity Q (associated with an operation site) would be fully recovered within the resources of or available to the organization. The factor is based on management objective for oil spill response, environmental sensitivity and the need for its protection. It recognizes that response capacity is a function of a series of variables notably geographical location and terrain, equipment and personnel resources. The RCF is expected to be a powerful tool for corporate planning (investment comparison, budgeting, staffing, training, operational control, etc.). The applications of the factor for oil-spill cooperatives and national (or regional) contingency planning are also discussed.
Fractal boundaries in open hydrodynamical flows: Signatures of chaotic saddles

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We introduce the concept of fractal boundaries in open hydrodynamical flows based on two gedanken experiments carried out with passive tracer particles colored differently. It is shown that the signature for the presence of a chaotic saddle in the advection dynamics is a fractal boundary between regions of different colors. The fractal parts of the boundaries found in the two experiments contain either the stable or the unstable manifold of this chaotic set. We point out that these boundaries coincide with streak lines passing through appropriately chosen points. As an illustrative numerical experiment, we consider a model of the von K\'arm\'an vortex street, a time periodic two-dimensional flow of a viscous fluid around a cylinder.
The Examination of Muscle Balance in Dancers

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The aim was to examine the anthropometric parameters of representatives of different dance styles, the strength and extensibility of trunk muscles, and whether low back pain influences performance during a show or stage appearance.According to our hypothesis, low back pain and deviations in the functional conditions of the spine are common in dancers aged 9-18, and can have a negative effect in their performance on stage.In addition, we assume that weakness can be experienced in the strength of the trunk muscles, their extensibility is not appropriate even in spite of regular training.92 dancers (average age: 14,15± 2,95 years) participated in the examination: 30 ballet dancers, 32 ballroom dancers, and 30 hip-hop dancers.The anthropometric data was measured with OMRON KaradaScan body composition monitor, the level of the negative effect of low back pain on stage performance was measured by visual analogue scale, and the strength and extensibility was measured with a Kraus-Weber test.On the basis of the anthropologic evaluation, we received a significant difference concerning each examined parameters (body weight: p=0,000, height: p= 0,000, muscle mass: p= 0,001, BMI: p=0,000, body fat percentage: p=0,000), the reason of which was the fact that the different dance styles have different physical requirements for the dancers.In accordance with data measured by the visual analogue scale, no significant difference was received (p=0,104) between the examined groups, although the hip-hop dancers reported the highest percentage (10,54%) of the occurrence of low back pain that negatively affects their stage performance.On the basis of the Kraus-Weber test, in the case of both abdominal muscle exercises the hip-hop group had significantly better performance (K-W A.: p=0,016, K-W B.: p=0,001) than the other two groups.Concerning muscle extensibility, (K-W F.: p= 0,030) the ballet group had significantly better results.In the case of all three examined groups it can be claimed that despite regular training, low back complaints occur at a very young age, which also have negative effects on stage performance.
Transylvania’s Estate Assemblies in the 13th and 14th Centuries

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract The author argues that the Transylvanian Romanians participated - at least from time to time - during the 13 th and the 14 th centuries, at the exercise of the power in their country, together with the noblemen, the Saxons and the Szeklers. This participation took place in the framework of the official general assemblies (congregationes generales) of the land of Transylvania (regnum Transilvanum). The gradual exclusion of Romanians as a group from the general assemblies of Transylvania, which took place around 1366–1437, was mainly an act of religious and not of ethnic significance. But this exclusion started to create a special state of mind in the country which has prepared the future ethnic discrimination from the modern times.
Dorstenpictanone: a new bicyclic polyprenylated compound from Dorstenia picta

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

One new bicyclic polyprenylated compound, dorstenpictanone (1), was isolated from Dorstenia picta. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis such as (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and HREIMS. The relative configuration of dorstenpictanone (1) was distinguished by comparative analysis of the NMR spectral data with known analogues together with the ROESY experiment.
The design of QoS provisioning mechanisms for wireless networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Two mechanisms are proposed in this paper to be incorporated with IEEE 802.11e EDCA MAC protocol for providing the QoS provisioning capability of such network. First, the call admission control function, which considers the inherent contention access feature of 802.11 MAC, aims to satisfy the QoS requirement of established higher priority connections, while protecting the minimum reserved bandwidth of traffic flows with lower priority at the same time. In addition, the proposed adaptive contention window adjustment mechanism dynamically adjusts the maximum and minimum contention window size based upon the equivalent established connection number observed by each individual access category. Such approach reduces the channel contention probability and packet access delay effectively. Performance results via simulations have shown the advantages achieved by employing these two mechanisms.
Severe acute pancreatitis in the early postoperative period due to afferent loop syndrome following gastrectomy for gastric cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Afferent loop syndrome (ALS) is an uncommon complication of gastrojejunostomy. It may be acute or chronic depending on whether symptoms manifest within 7 days of surgery. Rarely acute ALS may give rise to acute pancreatitis. It may present early in the postoperative course and, if diagnosed late, may result in organ failure within 48h. We report a middle-aged woman with carcinoma of the stomach managed by subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II gastrojejunostomy and Braun jejunojejunostomy. The patient developed vomiting and abdominal pain in the first postoperative day with acute renal shutdown and about 500ml drain output of dirty fluid. On investigation, a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis due to afferent loop syndrome was made, and the patient was resuscitated in the intensive care unit. However, she showed early signs of organ failure and succumbed to her condition within 6 days of surgery. Since the complication is rare following gastrojejunostomy and often mimics ALS, an early diagnosis becomes difficult. If delay in management happens, premature organ failure may lead to high morbidity and mortality.

Quality Improvement: A Strategyfor Planned Organizational Change

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

IN ADDITION TO DETERMININGEXACTLY what quality improvement means in a library environment, there is the challenge of identifying and using an appropriate strategy for implementation. Among the factors that can delay or even prevent adoption of quality improvement efforts, such as Total Quality Management (TQM), is fear that the adoption itself may fail. This fear is well founded; many organizations, among them libraries, have a history of starting and then abandoning planned change. Even with the best of intentions-i.e., carefully developed plans and seeming commitment to the ideals of quality-not every implementation is successful. An examination of the literature of change offers several major perspectives on effecting organizational change and yields insights that can be overlaid on the foundations of continuous improvement; taken together, these then suggest strategies by which adoption of quality improvement can be undertaken successfully. By viewing the adoption of an improvement strategy as two distinct but related challenges-one dealing with the philosophy and values of the library and the other with the technical requirements of TQM tools and processes-the adopting library will increase the probability of its selecting and using appropriate strategies. Of necessity, these strategies must be situation specific, but some possible strategies for libraries to use are identified.
Studies on the Determination of Species and Cultivars on the Basis of Electrophoretic Patterns of Seed Protein and Seed Enzymes

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The problem of whether cultivars of Brassica spp., Raphanus sativus or Cucurbita spp, could be determined by using the electrophoretic patterns of seed protein or seed enzymes as taxonomic criteria was studied.For the preparation of protein samples, five grams of seeds were ground in a pestle and then mixed into 20ml of a phosphate-buffered saline solution. Extraction proceeded overnight in a refrigerator; then the gruel was centrifuged, the supernatant filtered clear and adjusted to pH 8.0 with 0.1M KOH. The solution was placed in a refrigerator for one hour and then centrifuged. The supernatant was freeze-dried, and the prepared protein was stored dry at -20°C. For the preparation of enzyme samples, one gram of seeds was ground in a pestle and then mixed into four to six ml of a phosphatebuffered saline solution. Extraction proceeded two hours in a refrigerator; then the gruel was centrifuged and the supernatant was freeze-stored at -20°C.Electrophoresis was carried out with acrylamide gel disc.The results are summerized in Table 1.1. Brassica species: Protein, peroxydase, LDH, esterase., acid phosphatase, ADH, GDH and CA were available for the determination of species of Brassica crop seeds. However, none of these electrophoretic patterns could support a conclusive determination for each species, and it was necessary to use at least two to three kinds of electrophoresis for the full determination.Electrophoretic zymograms of peroxydase of B. nigra, Ba juncea and B. carinata were similar to one another, suggesting that these reactions were controlled by a genom b which these species possessed in common.No difference of electrophoretic patterns of protein and enzymes was observed among cultivars in each species. It was considered from this experiment that Chinese cabbage, turnip, Pak-choi, etc, had better be included in one species, that is, B. campestris, rather than be separated respectively into B. pekinensis, B. raga, B. chinensis, etc.2. Radish: No difference of electrophoretic patterns of seed protein and enzymes was observed among cultivars or groups of cultivars of radish.3. Cucurbita species: For the separation of species only two kinds of electrophoresis were available, and they each detected only one species among the four species. Protein patterns separated C. pepo from the other four species and esterase patterns separated C. ficifolia from the other four species. It was impossible forC. moschata, C. maxima and Fl of these species to be separated from one another with their electrophoretic patterns.
A Meldrum's Acid Based Multicomponent Synthesis of N‐Fmoc‐isoxazolidin‐5‐ones: Entry to N‐Fmoc‐β‐amino Acids

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A multicomponent Knoevenagel–aza‐Michael cyclocondensation (KaMC) reaction starting from Meldrum's acid has been developed with base‐sensitive N ‐Fmoc‐hydroxylamine. The reaction takes place under very mild basic conditions, providing a straightforward synthetic route to various unprecedented N ‐Fmoc‐isoxazolidin‐5‐ones. Subsequent chemoselective reductive cleavage of the N–O bond in the presence of Zn/AcOH allowed a short synthesis of the corresponding N ‐Fmoc‐β‐amino acids.
TEM Characterization of a 7042 Aluminum FSW Joint

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

This research characterizes the changes in microstructure that occur in friction stir welded extrusions of a novel 7042 aluminum alloy. Due to the presence of scandium the base material preserved the deformation microstructure with elongated grains and fairly high dislocation density. The temperature increase with simultaneous severe plastic deformation occurring during friction stir welding induced significant changes in the microstructure within the weld and its vicinity. The weld center (stir zone) was composed of fine equiaxed grains with residual dislocations and a modest density of small precipitates compared to the neighbouring thermomechanically and heat affected zones where the density of small precipitates was much higher.
Remission of hypertension. The 'natural' history of blood pressure treatment in the Framingham Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Recent studies suggesting that adequate blood pressure control may be maintained without medication in some persons with mild hypertension have been limited by short follow-up and/or small sample size. The Framingham Heart Study provides an opportunity for long-term observation of antihypertensive medication use by a group of hypertensive subjects. While 801 (70%) of the 1138 cohort members taking such medication at two consecutive biennial examinations continued to receive medication until death or the end of observation, 242 subjects (21%) had blood pressure of at least 140/90 mm Hg and 95 subjects (8%) were normotensive at the first examination while not receiving medication. The 95 normotensive subjects had lower pretreatment blood pressure and a greater proportion with controlled blood pressure at 4, 8, and 12 years after first medication use than those in the first two groups. Eleven of these 95 subjects maintained good blood pressure control while not receiving medication for at least four years, including one subject who continued not to receive medication for 12 years. While virtually all hypertensive subjects eventually relapse, a small group may experience a period of remission of hypertension while not receiving medication. As further studies permit more specific identification of individuals who will do well while not receiving medication, guidelines for medical care of hypertensive persons will need to be updated.

Teaching models and learning outcomes in entrepreneurship education: the role of students’ and enterprising parents’ gender

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Entrepreneurship Education (EE) programs provide students with the competencies to match the requests of today’s labor market and address societal challenges. There are numerous ways to implement EE, and literature has shown that different teaching models can lead to different outcomes. However, it is important to integrate this perspective with the socio-demographic one, particularly studying how individual characteristics influence the relationship between teaching models and learning outcomes. This research contributes to the literature by investigating how the gender of the student and of self-employed parents (where existing) affect the outcomes of different teaching models in EE. Using a sample of 366 Italian students from 42 different courses in 16 universities that attended EE courses and answered the Italian GUESSS 2018, it is found that the impact of teaching models on learning outcomes marginally depends on students’ gender, but a more significant contribution emerges when jointly considering students’ and self-employed parents’ gender.
Parenting patterns in developing the disciplinary character of upper grade students in elementary schools

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The aim of writing this article is to find out 1) parenting patterns in developing the disciplinary character of upper class students at the Duren 03 State Elementary School, Tengaran District 2) the obstacles experienced by parents in developing the disciplinary character of upper class students at the Duren State Elementary School 03 Tengaran District 3) efforts made by parents in developing the disciplined character of upper class students at Duren State Elementary School 03 Tengaran District. This type of research is qualitative research. The data collection techniques used were interviews, observation and documentation. The data analysis used is in the form of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Checking the validity of the data in this research takes the form of source triangulation and technical triangulation. The results of this research are 1) parents' parenting patterns in developing the disciplined character of upper class students mostly use democratic parenting, with this parenting style children can show a disciplined character in themselves, 2) the obstacles parents encounter in developing students' disciplined character The upper class is the job of parents who have work demands from morning to afternoon or evening. So this work also becomes an obstacle for parents, resulting in reduced time spent together with family. As well as the influence of globalization (TV, cellphones or online games), 3) the efforts made by parents to develop the disciplined character of upper class students are mostly through family consistency, implementing children's daily rules or routines and teaching children to be empathetic.
