Experimental investigation of essential oils as fuel additives

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Essential oils were investigated as fuel additives in this research. Origanum Acutidens is used to make essential oil. In the oil recovery process, hydro distillation was used. With the transesterification reaction, the obtained oil was converted into biofuel. In a specific proportion, biofuel was combined with reference diesel fuel. Critical oils were studied for their effect on engine efficiency and combustion parameters. A Kirlaskor four-stroke diesel engine was used to test the mixed fuel and comparison diesel fuel. Engine tests were carried out at various loads and at a steady engine rpm. As compared to diesel fuel, the mixture fuel provided 1.63 percent more effective engine power and 1.31 Nm more engine torque. The maximum gas pressure, maximum cumulative heat dissipation, maximum average gas temperature, and maximum net heat emission rates all increased dramatically when the combustion data was analyzed. The findings revealed that the critical oil-based blended fuel enhanced the combustion event in diesel engines.
Effects of Online Professional Development on First-Grade Writing Instruction: Coaching plus Manual Improves Teachers’ Implementation, Confidence, and Students’ Writing Quality

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This mixed-methods study examined the effects of different models of online professional development (PD) on 21 US elementary teachers’ writing instruction, on the teachers’ confidence, and on students’ writing quality. Participants were first-grade teachers who were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: Coaching-plus-Manual (C+M), Manual (M), or Business-as-Usual (BAU). All teachers received online-PD but the C+M and the M conditions received PD on genre-based writing-strategy instruction. The M group taught using only the manual of that approach but the C+M also received coaching. Results found that C+M teachers increased the most in their writing confidence, and C+M students wrote papers of better quality at posttest compared to the M and BAU students.
Online density meter for Liquid Desiccant Dehumidification System (LDDS)

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This report is the documentary of the project with title “Online density meter of liquid desiccant dehumidification system”. The liquid desiccant dehumidification system was developed for its high efficiency in removing humid and energy saving properties. In the dehumidification process, the liquid desiccant is circulating in the system. In order to achieve a better dehumidification result, the liquid desiccant needs to be control precisely. For this reason, a real time density meter needs to be developed to monitor the liquid desiccant’s density in different parts of the system.

The Best Irrigation System in Shirin Ab Plain, Iran

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This chapter discusses a study that was conducted in an area about 9,000 ha in the Shirin Ab Plain in Khuzestan Province, located in the west of Iran, during 2010–2011. The study area is located 30 km west of the city of Shushtar, 3563000–3590000 N and 267000' to 284000 E. The average annual temperature and precipitation for the period of 1965–2010 were 24°C and 404 mm, respectively. Also, the annual evaporation of the area is 2,550 mm. Over much of the Shirin Ab Plain, the use of surface irrigation systems has been applied specifically for field crops to meet the water demand of both summer and winter crops. There are very few instances of sprinkle and drip irrigation on large-area farms in the Shirin Ab Plain. The map also indicates that only some part of the cultivated area in this plain was evaluated as marginally suitable because of the gravel soil texture and soil depth.

$A_{\infty}$-structures, Brill–Noether loci and the Fourier–Mukai transform

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We use the -formalism to study variation in cohomology spaces under formal deformations of coherent sheaves on projective varieties. As an application we describe formal neighborhoods of some singular points in twisted Brill–Noether loci in the moduli spaces of vector bundles on a curve. Another application is a computation of the Fourier–Mukai transform of some natural line bundles on symmetric powers of a curve.
Retrocommunication utilizing electroabsorption modulators and nonmechanical beam steering

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A novel retrocommunication link utilizing reflective multiple quantum well (MQW) optical modulators and nonmechanical beam steering and tracking is demonstrated. Large aperture reflective MQW modulators using AlGaAs/GaAs are optimized and manufactured. The modulators exhibit a contrast ratio larger than 4:1 and a modulation bandwidth of 10 MHz. Nonmechanical beam steering and tracking are studied using nematic liquid crystal (NLC) spatial light modulators (SLMs). The communication link is comprised of a retromodulating array with four MQW modulators and a transceiver using a NLC SLM for beam steering and tracking. Transfer of audio, real-time image data and pseudorandom bit sequences over 100-m range while tracking the moving retromodulator is shown. The link is capable of transferring data at approximately 8 Mbps.
The effect of timing of initiation of renal replacement therapy on mortality: A retrospective case–control study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

PurposeTo determine if earlier initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT) is associated with improved survival in patients with severe acute kidney injury.MethodsWe performed a retrospective case–control study of propensity-matched groups with multivariable logistic regression using Akaike Information Criteria to adjust for non-matched variables in a surgical ICU in a tertiary care hospital.ResultsWe matched 169 of 205 (82%) patients with new initiation of RRT (EARLY group) to 169 similar patients who did not initiate RRT on that day (DEFERRED group). Eighteen (11%) of DEFERRED eventually received RRT before discharge. By univariate analysis, ICU mortality was higher in EARLY (n = 60 (36%) vs. n = 23 (14%), p p = 0.001). Of the 18 RRT patients in DEFERRED, 12 (67%) died in ICU and 13 (72%) in hospital. After propensity matching and logistic regression, we found that EARLY initiation of RRT was associated with a more than doubling of ICU mortality (aOR = 2.310, 95% confidence interval = 1.254–4.257, p = 0.007). However, after similar adjustment, there was no difference in hospital mortality (aOR = 1.283, 95% CI = 0.753–2.186, p = 0.360).ConclusionsWhile ICU mortality was increased in the EARLY group, there was no difference in hospital mortality between EARLY and DEFERRED groups.
Forest Analysis Using SAR Tomography and Maximum Likelihood Inspired Spectral Estimation

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This paper treats the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography (TomoSAR) non-linear inverse problem, within the framework of maximum likelihood (ML) estimation theory. In this context, a novel non-parametric spectral analysis (SA) technique, addressed in a closed fixed-point iterative fashion, is presented. The main goal of the proposed approach is to provide resolution-enhancement, with suppression of artifacts and ambiguity levels re-duction, to an initial estimate of the continuous power spectrum pattern (PSP), retrieved using the celebrated matched spatial filter (MSF) beamforming technique. The feature enhancing capabilities of the proposed method are corroborated via processing L-band airborne multi-baseline SAR data of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), acquired by the F-SAR system over the forested test site of Froschham, Germany, in 2017.
Introduction

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This book explores the life, thought and political commitments of the free-thinker John Toland (1670–1722). Studying both his private archive and published works, it illustrates how he moved in both subversive and elite political circles in England and abroad. The book explores the connections between Toland's republican political thought and his irreligious belief about Christian doctrine, the ecclesiastical establishment and divine revelation, arguing that far from being a marginal and insignificant figure, he counted queens, princes and government ministers as his friends and political associates. In particular, Toland's intimate relationship with the Electress Sophia of Hanover saw him act as a court philosopher, but also as a powerful publicist for the Hanoverian succession. The book argues that he shaped the republican tradition after the Glorious Revolution into a practical and politically viable programme, focused not on destroying the monarchy but on reforming public religion and the Church of England. It also examines how Toland used his social intimacy with a wide circle of men and women (ranging from Prince Eugene of Savoy to Robert Harley) to distribute his ideas in private. The book explores the connections between his erudition and print culture, arguing that his intellectual project was aimed at compromising the authority of Christian 'knowledge' as much as the political power of the Church. Overall, it illustrates how Toland's ideas and influence impacted upon English political life between the 1690s and the 1720s.
A New Test for Trigger Finger: The Lenox Independent Flexion Test

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The diagnosis of trigger finger (TF) in patients who do not demonstrate triggering at presentation can be challenging. We have been using a new test for TF – the Lenox Independent Flexion Test (LIFT). The aim of this study is to determine the sensitivity of LIFT in diagnosing TF. We hypothesise that LIFT will be more sensitive compared to the classic physical exam finding of triggering or locking with active range of motion (AROM). Methods: This is a prospective study of consecutive patients with TF over a 5-month period. Patients with the onset of trigger following trauma and trigger of the thumb were excluded. Patients were examined for tenderness over the first annular (A1) pulley, triggering or locking with AROM, and the LIFT was performed. A two-proportion test was used to determine whether the LIFT was more sensitive than triggering with AROM. Results: The study included 85 patients with 118 TFs. The average age of patients was 63 years and the study included 49 women. There were 69, 49, 0 and 0 grade I, II, III and IV TF, respectively. 108 fingers (92%) had a history of catching or locking of the affected digit, 110 (93%) had tenderness over the A1 pulley, 49 (44%) had triggering or locking with AROM and 102 (91%) had a positive LIFT. The LIFT was found to be more sensitive when compared to triggering with AROM (p < .001). Conclusion: The LIFT is more sensitive than triggering with AROM in the diagnosis of trigger digits. This test is especially useful in the diagnosis of TF in patients who do not have triggering at presentation. Level of Evidence: Level III (Diagnostic)
Digitalization and HR Analytics: a Big Game for an HR Manager

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The phenomenon addressed in this contribution, whatever the expression
one chooses to indicate it, is the digital transformation of working processes, understood as the upgrading, or the “augmentation” of socio-technical
relationships – those among men, between man and machine, and among
machines – both internal and external – that is, inside and between organizations (topologically understood) – enabled by the latest generation of information and communication technologies (ICTs). A privileged perspective for the observation of such a phenomenon is that of the enterprise information systems: digitalization (of machineries, semi-products, products,
services, technical actions, etc.) comes with the “datafication” of production and work in its making and consequently provides new sources of data, to be integrated with existing information systems and databases into
valuable datalakes in support of managerial decision making.
γ-Chain Dysfibrinogenemias: Molecular Structure-Function Relationships of Naturally Occurring Mutations in the γ Chain of Human Fibrinogen

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

FIBRINOGEN IS A 340-kD glycoprotein that circulates in the blood at approximately 3 mg/mL, making it one of the most abundant blood proteins. It is composed of six polypeptide chains, (α, β, γ)2, which are held together by disulfide bonds and organized in a symmetrical dimeric fashion (Fig [1][1]
On the Counting of Radio Sources in the Steady-state Cosmology, II

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The existence of large scale condensations introduces a discrete element into the steady state theory. This discreteness assumes crucial importance where the counting of an age-correlated property is involved—as it may do in the case of radio sources. The discrete nature of the problem makes it awkward to deal with analytically. A different method using a high speed computer was therefore tried recently. This approach and the results obtained from it are discussed in this paper. There is a good agreement between the results and those obtained earlier by an analytical method.
Social media influencer over-endorsement: Implications from a moderated-mediation analysis

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The surge in social media's popularity has catalyzed the emergence and growth of social media influencers (SMIs) and their pivotal role in marketing strategy. This study examines the impact of SMI over-endorsement on consumer purchase intentions, mediating this relationship through influencer authenticity and credibility, and moderating it with product interest. Employing a moderated-mediation model using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), this study analyzes survey data collected from 303 social media users. Contrary to intuitive expectations, SMI over-endorsement does not directly affect consumer purchase intentions; instead, its negative influence is significantly mediated by reduced perceptions of credibility among SMIs, with product interest serving as a mitigating mechanism. This revelation challenges conventional beliefs by revealing that the negative repercussions of excessive endorsements are mediated by credibility erosion, overshadowing any concerns regarding authenticity. Importantly, this adverse effect can be mitigated by fostering product interest as a strategic buffer. This suggests that rather than curtailing endorsement frequencies, brands and SMIs should focus on amplifying product interest (e.g., by enhancing product engagement and relevance) and thus sustain or even increase endorsement activities without compromising the perceived credibility of influencers, thereby maintaining the effectiveness of influencer marketing campaigns. This study therefore contributes novel insights into the dynamics of influencer marketing, particularly the adverse effects of over-endorsement on consumer behavior and the conditions under which these effects may be neutralized.
APPLICATION OF MANDIBULAR NERVE BLOCKS BY DENTAL PRACTITIONERS

The goal of this article is to acquire information about the usage of mandibular nerve block anesthesia by young dental practitioners with less than 5 years of experience, in Pakistan. The survey was filled by 261 dentists. The results show that 55.55% of the dentists that participated didn’t use
A Validation Study of the Assessing Classroom Sociocultural Equity Scale (ACSES) in Pre-Kindergarten to Third Grade Classrooms

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Research Findings: Despite widespread calls to advance equity in early childhood classrooms, there are few observational measures of equitable classroom processes that can be used for academic research or professional development for teachers. In this study, we investigate the psychometric properties of an observational measure of equitable sociocultural interactions, the Assessing Classroom Sociocultural Equity Scale (ACSES 2.0). Videos (n = 348) were coded from Pre-Kindergarten to third-grade classrooms in an urban city in the Midwest. Descriptive results indicated that teachers rarely engaged in instructional activities focused on racial equity or fairness and infrequently connected lessons to children's home lives. ACSES showed convergent validity with a widely used measure of teacher–child interactions, the CLASS. Specifically, higher levels of Inequitable Discipline predicted higher levels of CLASS Negative Climate (r(138)=.359, p < .01), and higher levels of Inequitable Discipline predicted lower scores across all other CLASS dimensions. Exploratory factor analysis supported a seven-factor solution for ACSES. Practice or Policy: The results support the usage of ACSES in Pre-Kindergarten and early elementary settings. The implications of ACSES for both research and practice are discussed.
The Effect of Background Noise on the Operation of Oscillators†

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT A method for the analysis of the effect of noise on the output of oscillators is presented. The method is based on the balance between the equivalent linearization parameters of the oscillator and the noise. The presence of the noise moves the poles of the equivalent and noise-free linear model to the left, causing the oscillator to operate as a negative resistance noise amplifier with extremely high gain and selectivity. The variations in the envelope of the noise amplifier output are strongly suppressed by the amplitude-control action of the oscillator non-linearity, the effect of the non-linearity being equivalent to gain changes of the noise amplifier which keep the output almost constant. Expressions are derived for the autocorrelation function and spectral density of the oscillator output. The model of the oscillator analysed is composed of an L—C tank circuit, an active non-linear part which presents to the tank an equivalent negative conductance, and an amplitude control mechanism controlling the amplitude by controlling the value of the negative conductance presented to the tank. The results cover oscillators with instantaneous non-linearity as well as oscillators with separate automatic amplitude control.
Improved Timing Attacks against the Secret Permutation in the McEliece PKC

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we detail two side-channel attacks against the McEliece public-key cryptosystem. They are exploiting timing differences on the Patterson decoding algorithm in order to reveal one part of the secret key: the support permutation. The first one is improving two existing timing attacks and uses the correlation between two different steps of the decoding algorithm. This improvement can be deployed on all error-vectors with Hamming weight smaller than a quarter of the minimum distance of the code. The second attack targets the evaluation of the error locator polynomial and succeeds on several different decoding algorithms. We also give an appropriate countermeasure.
Closed midshaft clavicle fractures

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aims The management of mid-shaft clavicle fractures (MSCFs) has evolved over the last three decades. Controversy exists over which specific fracture patterns to treat and when. This review aims to synthesize the literature in order to formulate an appropriate management algorithm for these injuries in both adolescents and adults. Methods This is a systematic review of clinical studies comparing the outcomes of operative and nonoperative treatments for MSCFs in the past 15 years. The literature was searched using, PubMed, Google scholar, OVID Medline, and Embase. All databases were searched with identical search terms: mid-shaft clavicle fractures (± fixation) (± nonoperative). Results Using the search criteria identified, 247 studies were deemed eligible. Following initial screening, 220 studies were excluded on the basis that they were duplicates and/or irrelevant to the research question being posed. A total of 27 full-text articles remained and were included in the final review. The majority of the meta-analyses draw the same conclusions, which are that operatively treated fractures have lower nonunion and malunion rates but that, in those fractures which unite (either operative or nonoperative), the functional outcomes are the same at six months. Conclusion With regard to the adolescent population, the existing body of evidence is insufficient to support the use of routine operative management. Regarding adult fractures, the key to identifying patients who benefit from operative management lies in the identification of risk factors for nonunion. We present an algorithm that can be used to guide both the patient and the surgeon in a joint decision-making process, in order to optimize patient satisfaction and outcomes.
