Mandarin peel as an auspicious functional filler for polymer composites

This work describes the mandarin peel (MP) application as a waste filler for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites. The main goal was to investigate the impact of filler’s essential oils, which include multiple terpenes and terpenoids, on the processing, physicochemical, mechanical and thermal properties, as well as color and volatile organic compounds emissions from the composites with different filler content (1-10 wt%). At small loadings, MP can be considered an efficient filler for wood-polymer composites, enhancing their flowability, tensile strength and thermal stability. Besides, it may act as colorant and aroma compound for polymer materials, and enhances the termooxidative resistance of composites. The oxidation induction time was elongated from 20 min for HDPE up to 62 min for the composites with 10 wt% of filler. The obtained research results allow application of the MP not only in the production of highly-filled composites, but also as an additive that significantly enhances the composites’ performance at low concentrations.

Search for Quantitative Parameters of Scan Path of Image Viewing by Biologically Motivated Model

The model of viewing scan path formation to search for quantitative parameters of scan path type is presented. In computer simulations, it was revealed that the structure of artificial scan path (focal or spatial ones) significantly (p<0,05) correlates with the number of return fixations of input window on recently viewed image areas. It was revealed that with the decrease of the coefficient of IOR, the model in most cases forms trajectories of focal type. On the contrary, as the coefficient of the IOR increases, model spatial type trajectories dominated. In addition to differences in the number of return fixations of the input window of the model between focal and spatial trajectories, a trend of differences between the two types of model trajectories in the amplitude of window jumps was found. The model assumption about the possibility of a quantitative characteristic of the trajectory structure based on return fixations is confirmed at processing the results of psychophysical tests of free viewing and search for modified fragments of complex images. It was shown that the number of gaze return fixations is significantly (p<0,05) higher in tests of free image viewing compared to search tests. The results obtained allow us to consider the probability of return fixations as a quantitative criterion to determine of scan path type.

The Influence of Organizational Culture on Organizational Performance

Organizational culture is one of the most important constructs in management research. The purpose of this exploratory study is to determine the impact of organizational culture on organizational performance in order to find out how organizational culture helps in improving organizational performance. This study uses a descriptive approach by examining the results of several existing empirical studies. The findings indicate that all cultural dimensions influence different perspectives of organizational performance. Other studies reveal that organizational culture has an influence on company performance in terms of stability, competitiveness and performance orientation. Organizational culture has a profound impact on organizational processes, employees and their performance. The same research shows that if employees are committed and have the same norms, it can improve performance to achieve overall organizational goals. Leaders are recommended to develop a strong culture in the organization to improve employee and organizational performance. For this reason, this article will examine, based on empirical research, the relationship between culture and organizational performance.

Comparison Of Different Feature Extraction Techniques In Telugu Dialects Identification

The Telugu language is one of the standard and historical languages in India. Like other spoken languages, the Telugu language also contains different dialects i.e., Telangana, Costa Andhra and Rayalaseema. The research in dialects identification (DI) work is very less as compared to other speech processing applications. For the research Dialect identification (DI) in Telugu language, database is very important, but there is no standard database. To carry out the research work in DI, we created the database of Telugu Language with different dialects and we anlyzed different feature extraction techniques to implement system. In this paper, we compare the performance of different models given by applying the different feature extraction techniques such as spatial, temporal, and prosodic features in Telugu dialect identification. We have applied different classification models i.e., K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN), Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM). It is observed that GMM model provides good accuracy with MFCC+∆MFCC+∆∆MFCC and MFCC+PITCH +LOUDNESS features compare to HMM model.

Does Consciousness-Collapse Quantum Mechanics Facilitate Dualistic Mental Causation?

One of the most serious challenges (if not the most serious challenge) for interactive psycho-physical dualism (henceforth interactive dualism or ID) is the so-called ‘interaction problem’. It has two facets, one of which this article focuses on, namely the apparent tension between interactions of non-physical minds in the physical world and physical laws of nature. One family of approaches to alleviate or even dissolve this tension is based on a collapse solution (‘consciousness collapse/CC) of the measurement problem in quantum mechanics (QM). The idea is that the mind brings about the collapse of a superposed wave function onto one of its eigenstates. Thus, it is claimed, can the mind change the course of things without violating any law figuring in physical theory. I will first show that this hope is premature because energy and momentum are probably not conserved in collapse processes, and that even if this can be dealt with, the violations are either severe or produce further ontological problems. Second, I point out several conceptual difficulties for interactionist CC. I will also present solutions for those problems, but it will become clear that those solutions come at a high cost. Third, I shall briefly list some empirical problems which make life even harder for interactionist CC. I conclude with remarks about why no-collapse interpretations of QM don’t help either and what the present study has shown is the real issue for ID: namely to find a plausible integrative view of dualistic mental causation and laws of nature.

Distinct spatiotemporal distribution of Hsp90 under high-heat and mild-heat stress conditions in fission yeast.

The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is highly conserved from bacteria to mammals. In fission yeast, Hsp90 is essential in many cellular processes and its expression is known to be increased by heat stress (HS). Here, we describe the distinct spatiotemporal distribution of Hsp90 under high-heat stress (HHS: 45˚C) and mild-heat stress (MHS: 37˚C). Hsp90 is largely distributed in the cytoplasm under non-stressed conditions (27˚C). Under HHS, Hsp90 forms several cytoplasmic granules within 5 minutes, then the granules disappear within 60 minutes. Under MHS, Hsp90 forms fewer granules than under HHS within 5 minutes and strikingly the granules persist and grow in size. In addition, nuclear enrichment of Hsp90 was observed after 60 minutes under both HS conditions. Our data suggest that assembly/disassembly of Hsp90 granules is differentially regulated by temperatures.

Characterization of Contaminants Molds in Smoked Fish Coated in Chitosan

Smoked fish is one of the traditional fish processing through the process of open heat smoking. The water content in smoked fish is quite high. The high water content will facilitate the growth and development of decaying microbes. Some studies have reported that smoked fish after being stored for several days will be overgrown at any time, even smoked fish that have been coated with chitosan. Research objectives to analyze the characteristics of contaminants in smoked fish treated with chitosan. The research was conducted from November to December 2020 at FPIK UNIPAS Morotai Laboratory. The growth medium of the glyph uses potato extract (PDA), the isolation of the glyph from smoked cob fish, as well as the characterization of the glyph which includes macroscopic and microscopic characters. The data obtained is analyzed descriptively. The result is isolation was found five isolates of any time, namely isolates KU1, KU2, KU3, MG1, and KS1. Based on macroscopic and microscopic characterization, isolate KU1 such as Fusarium oxysporum , isolate KU2 such as Aspergillus niger , isolate KU3 such as Penicillium sp., isolate MG1 such as Aspergillus flavus , and isolate KS1 such as Acremonium sp.

Identification and characterization of current sheets in collisionless plasmas turbulence

Current sheets forming in an ion-kinetic turbulent collisionless plasma are characterized by utilizing the results of two-dimensional hybrid-kinetic numerical simulations (ions treated as kinetic species using particle-in-cell method and electrons treated as mass-less fluid). For this sake, the algorithm, proposed by Zhdankin et al. [Astrophys. J. 771, 124 (2013)] for the identification and characterization of current sheets forming in magnetohydrodynamic plasma turbulence, is extended to current sheets forming in a much noisier kinetic plasma turbulence. Effects of the algorithm parameters on the identification of current sheets in plasma turbulence are analyzed. Based on this analysis, appropriate values of algorithm parameters for the current sheet identification are chosen. Current sheets are statistically characterized in terms of their main properties—the peak current density, the peak current carrier velocity (mainly electrons), the thickness, the length, and also the aspect ratio (length/thickness). Results of the characterization show that the current sheets have a tendency to thin down to below ion inertial length scale until numerical (grid-resolution based) dissipation stops any further thinning. Simulations that include the physics at the electron inertial scales, e.g., hybrid simulations with electron inertia, are required to fully address the current sheet thinning processes and determination of the final thicknesses of current sheets.

Anatomical physiological and biochemical processes involved in grapevine rootstock drought tolerance

In order to explore the drought resistance mechanism of grape rootstocks, two grape rootstock species, '1103P' (a drought-tolerant rootstock) and '101-14M' (drought-sensitive), were treated with moderate water deficit (field capacity of 45-50 %). Throughout the experimental period, the leaves of '1103P' showed a higher stomatal conductance (gs), relative water content and photosynthetic rate (Pn) than '101-14M', indicating '1103P' was more resistant to tolerant than '101-14M'. We propose that '1103P' could prevent water loss from leaves under drought conditions based on the discoveries that '1103P' had higher leaf phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) content and leaf cuticular wax content, and smaller stomata aperture than those of '101-14M'. Additionally, the activities of H2O2-scavenging enzymes in leaves of '1103P' were higher than those of '101-14M' under drought conditions, indicating the lipid peroxidation induced by H2O2 of '1103P' was less serious than that of '101-14M'. Therefore, better water-saving and higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging abilities contributed together to stronger drought resistance of '1103P' than '101-14M'.

Composition and balance of the analytical fractionation of desert date (Balanites aegyptiaca L.) seeds harvested in Senegal

The desert date (Balanites aegyptiaca L.) can be one of the most common trees in Senegal. Thus, the objective is to carry out an analytical fractionation of these seeds to consider prospects for valuing the different constituents and a diagram of fractionation processes. The physical characterization of the seeds made it possible to know the fruit-seed and kernel-hull proportions. The chemical composition of the seeds shows that three main fractions represent 90% of its dry matter: The fibrous (68%), the lipid (14%) and the proteins (nearly 9%). The kernel is made up of 34.50% (80% of the lipid) and 28.75% of proteins (or 93% of the protein) while the hull is essentially fibrous, 90% contains 85% of the fibers. The high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids oleic and linoleic (73%) associated with those of saturated fatty acids (palmitic and stearic) in high proportions (27%) and the high contents of sterols (2.11 g/kg), and in tocopherols (512.40 mg/kg), make desert date oil an excellent food oil. On the other hand, it has qualities that make it suitable for use in various non-food applications. Proteins are made up of three main amino acids: glutamic acid (20.35%), arginine (14.42%) and aspartic acid (11.29%). The amino acid composition is close to that of oil seeds whose cakes are widely used in animal or even human food. Given their essentially lignocellulosic composition, the hulls obtained from shelling can be used as fuel or be extruded and used for the manufacture of composite agro-materials. Key words: Desert date, Balanites aegyptiaca, seeds, analytical fractionation, proteins, lipids.
