AbstractIn consideration of the abundant moisture of limonitic nickel laterite mined, it is essential to determine whether the self-possessed moisture of limonitic nickel laterite after pre-dried is appropriate for sintering. Thus, based on the characterization of limonitic nickel laterite, the influence of its self-possessed moisture on sintering performance was expounded by sinter pot tests and the relevant mechanism was revealed by the systematical analyses of the granulation properties of sinter mixture, thermodynamic conditions during sintering and mineralogy of product sinter. The results indicate that the self-possessed moisture of limonitic nickel laterite indeed has significant influence on its sintering performance. At the optimum self-possessed moisture of 21 mass%, sinter indices are relatively better with tumble index, productivity and solid fuel rate of 48.87%, 1.04 t m−2 h−1 and 136.52 kg t−1, respectively, due to the superior granulation properties of sinter mixture and thermodynamic conditions during sintering, relatively large amount of silico-ferrite of calcium and alumina and tighter sinter microstructure. However, sintering performance of limonitic nickel laterite is still much poorer than that of ordinary iron ores. It is feasible to strengthen limonitic nickel laterite sintering by inhibiting the over-fast sintering speed and improving the thermodynamic conditions during sintering.

Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease caused by protozoan belonging to the Leishmania genus. There are at least 16 pathogenic species for humans that are able to cause different clinical forms, such as cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis. In spite of the different species and clinical forms, the treatment is performed with few drug options that, in most cases, are considered outdated. In addition, patients under classical treatment show serious side effects during drug administration, moreover parasites are able to become resistant to medicines. Thus, it is believed and well accepted that is urgent and necessary to develop new therapeutic options to overpass these concerns about conventional therapy of leishmaniasis. The present review will focus on the efficacy, side effects and action mechanism of classic drugs used in the treatment of leishmaniasis, as well as the importance of traditional knowledge for directing a rational search toward the discovery and characterization of new and effective molecules (in vivo assays) from plants to be used against leishmaniasis.

In order to improve the erosion effect of jet under submergence condition, experimental studies of erosion generated from the self-excited pulsed jet was carried out by using developed self-excited oscillation nozzle. The erosion volume and depth of pulsed jet were measured and taking mortar block as an erosion part. The results were that the standoff has significant influence on erosion effect. The erosion volume firstly decreases with increases in cavity length and then increases to a peak value. Erosion volume of pulsed jet is significantly higher than that of continuous jet, the erosion depth of two jet has slight difference.

A traditional view holds that the self-concept is essentially indexical. In a highly influential article, Ruth Millikan famously held that the self-concept should be understood as a Millian name with a sui generis functional role. This article presents a novel explanatory argument against the Millian view and in favor of the indexical view. The argument starts from a characterization of the self-concept as a device of information integration. It then shows that the indexical view yields a better explanation of the integration function than the Millian view. The resulting account can rebut Millikan’s objections and it has broader implications for the debate on the essential indexical.

The sufferers’ incapable in carried out DM type 2 is one of the most caused it. Diabetic Self-Management Education (DSME) is the method which can stimulate of patients’ knowledge; skill andability in doing the self-care for prevent the ulcers’ diabetic. The aim of this research is to find out theinfluence of DSME toward the risk of consistence of ulcers’ diabetic for path treatment’s patients ofmellitus diabetes (MD) type 2 at Pukesmas Jalan Gedang of Bengkulu’s working area in year 2016.The method of this research is quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test approach. SimpleRandom Sampling is used to divided the 66 respondent in 2 groups i.e. intervention and controlgroups. The result showed that the influence of DSME toward risk of consistence of ulcers’ diabeticbefore DSME (p=0,329) whereas, after DSME (p=0,020); with improvement of knowledge beforeDSME (p=0,135),after DSME (p=0,027); and leg treatment behavior before DSME (p=0,135)whereas, after DSME (p=0,041); as well as self-confidence before DSME (p=0,454) whereas, afterDSME (p=0,002) by value (≤α=0,05). It can conclude that there is a significant influence of DSMEtoward risk of consistence of ulcers’ diabetic for path treatment’s patients of mellitus diabetes (MD)type 2 at Pukesmas Jalan Gedang Bengkulu’s Working Area in year 2016. This research can be inputinformation for the health’s staff. In order, it can give the knowledge and the health promotion aboutthe influence of DSME toward the risk of consistence of ulcers’ diabetic.

Experimental research on the pyrolysis and gasification of randomly packed straw pellets was conducted with an emphasis on the reactive properties of the shrinking porous structure of the pellets. The apparent kinetics of such pyrolysis was approximated by the random pore, grain, and volumetric models. The best approximation results were obtained with the grain and random pore models. The self-organized oscillations of the pellet conversion rate during pyrolysis were observed. Two complementary explanations of the phenomenon are proposed.
