The position of animals in theoretical imagination and society stems from the historical naturalization of basic epistemological and ontological categories, the complex socio-cultural genesis of concepts whose assumptions are not easy to unravel nowadays. The given understanding of subjectivity and sociability entails nature as its opposite, but also that all other categories in border classification areas are a priori subordinate to human interests and goals. The debates that took place during the 1970s and 1980s, when it comes to animal rights movements and the ecofeminist movement, have made some sort of confusion in the then accepted approach to this issue. However, only recently has the current biopolitical theory, by posing the question of human determinism and taking into account the conceptual breakthroughs related to the boundary between biological species, established in modern discourse, brought significant innovations in the debate on vegetarianism. In order to explain the shifts that can be made in the debate in the area that opened up with biopolitical theory, two arguments that have dominated the debate for a long time - ethically and ecofeministically – are subjected to critical analysis. While the ethical and ecofeminist standpoints are focused on the categories of political subjectivity and anthropocentric assumptions, biopolitics raises the issue of overcoming the deep ambivalence of normative and practical solutions that characterize the human attitude towards animals and their planned and systematized killing for the requirements of the food industry.

In recent years several surface stress sensors based on microcantilevers have been developed for biosensing [1–4]. Since these sensors are made using standard microfabrication processes, they can be easily made in an array format, making them suitable for high-throughput multiplexed analysis. Specific reactions occurring on one surface (enabled by selective modification of the surface a priori) of the sensor element change the surface stress, which in turn causes the sensor to deflect. The magnitude and the rate of deflection are then used to study the reaction. The microcantilevers in these sensors are usually fabricated using material like silicon and its oxides or nitrides. The high elasticity modulus of these materials places limitations on the sensitivity and sensor geometry. Alternately polymers, which have a much lower elastic modulus when compared to silicon or its derivatives, offers greater design flexibility, i.e. allow the exploration of innovative sensor configurations that can have higher sensitivity and at the same time are suitable for integration with microfluidics and electrical detection systems.

Abstract We prove scattering of solutions of the loglog energy-supercritical Schrödinger equation $i \partial _{t} u + \triangle u = |u|^{\frac{4}{n-2}} u g(|u|)$ with $g(|u|) := \log ^{\gamma } {( \log{(10+|u|^{2})} )}$, $0 < \gamma < \gamma _{n}$, n ∈ {3, 4, 5}, and with radial data $u(0) := u_{0} \in \tilde{H}^{k}:= \dot{H}^{k} (\mathbb{R}^{n})\,\cap\,\dot{H}^{1} (\mathbb{R}^{n})$, where $\frac{n}{2} \geq k> 1 \left(\text{resp.}\,\frac{4}{3}> k > 1\right)$ if n ∈ {3, 4} (resp. n = 5). The proof uses concentration techniques (see e.g., [ 2, 12]) to prove a long-time Strichartz-type estimate on an arbitrarily long time interval J depending on an a priori bound of some norms of the solution, combined with an induction on time of the Strichartz estimates in order to bound these norms a posteriori (see e.g., [ 8, 10]). We also revisit the scattering theory of solutions with radial data in $\tilde{H}^{k}$, $k> \frac{n}{2}$, and n ∈ {3, 4}; more precisely, we prove scattering for a larger range of $\gamma$ s than in [ 10]. In order to control the barely supercritical nonlinearity for nonsmooth solutions, that is, solutions with data in $\tilde{H}^{k}$, $k \leq \frac{n}{2}$, we prove some Jensen-type inequalities.

Pollution of sea waters is one of major attributes of coastal industrial centers and the norming of such emissions is one of major countermeasures. The assimilation capacity of sea waters is a major factor relevant at norming and planning of outflows into sea waters. At present time the synoptical method has been developed, which doesn’t require carrying out long time and repeated observing of the level of pollution of sea waters. This method has formed the basis for developing the integrated synoptical method for calculating sea water assimilation capacity. The suggested method provides for division of the sea waters into separated homogenous water masses. The aim of the study is to develop an inverse integrated synoptical method allowing synthesizing of such an optimum order for loading separate water masses with pollutants upon, at which the calculated total value of assimilation capacity would reach its maximum. The article shows the possibility of utilization of known synoptical method for determining assimilation capacity of sea waters in the inverse order, i.e. for calculating the maximum value of pollutant put into the fixed zone of sea waters, upon a condition of reaching the given amount of assimilation capacity and absence of essential negative effect on ecosystem. The task of calculating an optimum regime function of discrete type, upon which the integrated value of assimilation capacity would reach the maximum value, has been formulated. The solution of analogue equivalent of the formed optimization task is carried out using the Euler equation for a non-conditional variation optimization task, taking into account the accepted limitation condition. The recommendations on optimum loading of different sea water zones with determined type of pollutant have been given.

Sales are one of the most important things in the SaRa collection. To increase the number of existing sales, SaRa collection must be able to see the opportunities and needs needed by its customers. For this reason, when the Covid 19 pandemic is happening now, the SaRa collection has made a connector that can be used to beautify the use of masks to prevent transmission of the Covid 19 virus. In the process of making the connector, it is still done homemade according to the model that consumers are interested in because it takes time to process and select the model. as well as the appropriate color. Currently, sales are still being recorded manually, so the owner is still having trouble providing a stock of the connector model and color that will be made in order to meet consumer demand. In order to find out what models must be provided, accurate calculations are needed, for that the author uses the a priori algorithm as a method which is expected to be taken into consideration in marketing and sales strategies as well as connecting stock data to be made.

The removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from gas streams with varying overall pressure and H2S concentrations is a long-standing challenge faced by the oil and gas industries. The present work focuses on H2S capture using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), in an effort to shed light on their potential as adsorbents in the field of gas storage and separation. MOFs hold great promise as they make possible the design of structures from organic and inorganic units, but also, they have provided an answer to a long-time challenging issue, i.e., how to design extended structures of materials. Moreover, the functionalization of the MOF’s surface can result in increased H2S uptake. For example, the insertion of 1% of a fluorinated linker in MIL-101(Cr)-4F(1%) allows for enhanced H2S capture. Although noticeable efforts have been made in studying the adsorption capacity of H2S using MOFs, there is a clear need for gaining a deeper understanding in terms of their thermal conductivities and specific heats in order to design more stable adsorption beds, experiencing high exothermicity. Simply put, the exothermic nature of adsorption means that sharp rises in temperature can negatively affect the bed stability in the absence of sufficient heat transfer. The work presented herein provides a detailed discussion by thoroughly combining the existing literature on new developments in MOFs for H2S removal, and tries to provide insight into new areas for further research.

Dirichlet Allocation

Sentiment classification is one of the hottest research areas among the Natural Language Processing (NLP) topics. While it aims to detect sentiment polarity and classification of the given opinion, requires a large number of aspect extractions. However, extracting aspect takes human effort and long time. To reduce this, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) method have come out recently to deal with this issue.In this paper, an efficient preprocessing method for sentiment classification is presented and will be used for analyzing user’s comments on Twitter social network. For this purpose, different text preprocessing techniques have been used on the dataset to achieve an acceptable standard text. Latent Dirichlet Allocation has been applied on the obtained data after this fast and accurate preprocessing phase. The implementation of different sentiment analysis methods and the results of these implementations have been compared and evaluated. The experimental results show that the combined uses of the preprocessing method of this paper and Latent Dirichlet Allocation have an acceptable results compared to other basic methods.

Vacuum Dehydration

The tradition of fruit dehydration in Serbia has been long and anviable. It seems that Serbian machine-building in the area of fruit processing technology has given its greatest contribution in this field. It has been one 100 years since the smoking house of Mr Stokovic, PhD was announced to be the best and the most promising plum dehydrator at the open competition organized in Topcider by the Ministry of Agriculture. It was the first real almost continual fruit dehydrator where plums were moved at certain intervals closer and closer to the source of heat. Such a concept of plum dehydration from lower to higher temperatures was held on even later in perhaps our most famous dehydrator CER. Even the smoky smell was retained but liquid fuel was used for technical purposes. For a long time, it has been a well- known fact that vacuum dehydration has many advantages. In our country there have been many attempts to make fruit dehydrator of greater capacities in which vacuum would be used. Of course, there have been many problems, both technical and technological, but today a hundred years after accepting Stojkovic?s smokehouse, it is our great honor to present to you the results of plum dehydration in a home-made vacuum condensation dehydrator. We hope that now path is widely open to high quality dehydration, and not only for that plum, but for fruit susceptible to oxidation which is the reason our food industry has not produced it so far. This is probably a farewell to the most dangerous, but for the product quality, the most necessary operation - sulphuration.
