Rose’S Alloy

Small-scale experimental studies of melt splashing upon the impact of water are presented here, with a focus on the fluid dynamics and thermal aspects of these interactions. Gravity-accelerated droplets and forced short-duration water jets interacted with liquid Rose’s alloy superheated to 100–200 degrees above its melting point. A repeatability study was performed for better-control of the gravity fall of a droplet. The amount of perturbation on the melt surface was obtained from a video recording, and indicated the existence of three principal stages of interaction. The cases using the forced water jet demonstrated the occurrence of a cumulative jet of melt following the collapse of the cavity caused by the water impact. Also, it was shown that numerous small-diameter melt droplets were scattered by the primary impulse, and small-scale micro-eruptions were observed, which generated small but fast melt droplets at the later stages of interaction.

Speaking is the art of conveying ideas and feelings by generating and sharing meaning through oral contact. Pow-Tega is a speaking skill teaching technique that combines a power teaching technique with a game to allow students to practice their speaking skills. Students' focus and excitement in speaking are developed using the power teaching technique. Students were inspired to study while playing the game because the classroom environment was more colorful. Researchers used a quantitative method by assigning pre-experimental studies with one group pre-test and post-test to determine the impact of the Pow-Tega technique on students' speaking performance. This study included 33 students as participants. The researchers used a spoken test and video recording to gather data. Before beginning treatment, researchers gave all of the samples a pre-test, then began treatment by using the Pow-Tega Technique for six meetings, and eventually, researchers gave all of the samples a post-test. The results revealed that the mean post-test score (3,93) was higher than the pre-test score (3,39). Furthermore, at the significant stage of 0,05 and degree of freedom -19, the ttest (6,75) was higher than the ttable (2.093). H0  has been  refused, while H1 has been accepted. That means there was a significant effect of students’ speaking ability after they were taught by using Pow-Tega.

The Impact

Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm (IA) is frequently associated with intense physical exertion and/or emotional excitement, events that are typically also accompanied by sudden significant changes in both heart rate and blood pressure. Very few experimental studies of aneurysm hemodynamics have examined the impact on hemodynamic parameters in and around an aneurysm resulting from changes in heart rate. In order to further understanding these changes, as they relate to hemodynamic features that may contribute to rupture of an IA, we examined the characteristics of pulsatile flow in and around two “patient-specific” intracranial aneurysms at three different cardiac frequencies. Three dimensional X-ray angiographic data (3D-DSA) were used to reconstruct accurate and patient-specific aneurysm geometries. Then, computational fluid dynamics techniques were utilized to analyze the characteristics of blood flow in and around the two aneurysms. Physiologically realistic flow conditions, as measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasound, were used in the simulations. Our results showed that there were significant changes in the overall flow patterns (e.g., vortex formation and translation) associated with the changes of heart rates. In both aneurysms, the calculated wall shear stress exhibited substantial increases with an increase in heart rate. Our results suggest that the changes in local hemodynamic forces associated with variations in heart rate are dependent not only on the heart rate but also on the aneurysm geometry. This thus precludes applying our observations about the impact of variations in cardiac rate to aneurysms in general.

Abstract The work experimentally investigated the characteristics of the noise of large-scale isolated rotors on small-scale models. The experimental rotor model was based on the F7 / A7 design developed by General Electric. The small diameter rotors were 3D printed and powered by brushless DC motors. The studies were implemented at a speed of up to 8500 rpm. Far-field acoustic measurements were performed in a noise-damped anechoic chamber. The noise characteristics of the brushless motors used in the experiments were investigated separately. For brushless motors, the main component is mechanical noise at the speeds of the motor shaft and its harmonics. For a uniaxial electric motor, the mechanical noise at the shaft speed increases with an increase in the rotational speed, while the noise at its higher harmonics decreases. The study of the coaxial electric motor showed an increase in mechanical noise at the higher harmonics of rotation. In experiments with insulated rotors, the tonal and broadband noise content was recorded. The study showed that with an increase in the rotational speed of a single rotor, the noise level rises from 65 to 80 dB. In this case, the maximum sound pressure shifts towards higher frequencies.

True Values

The purpose of the present study is twofold: first, to investigate the true values of Muslim owner managers; second, to examine the impact of these values on entrepreneurial orientations of Muslim small-scale entrepreneurs. 850 Muslim owner managers were selected randomly using the sampling frame provided by MajlisAmanah Rakyat Malaysia (MARA). 162 completed questionnaires were collected and analyzed. For this paper only two dimensions of entrepreneurial orientations were analyzed: proactive orientation and innovative orientation. Interestingly, the findings revealed that Muslim businessmen/women are honest, loyal, disciplined and hard working. Loyalty and honesty are positively related to proactive orientation, while discipline and hard-work are positively related to innovative orientation. The findings provide implications for existing relevant theories, policy makers, practitioners and learning institutions.

Enhancing water purification processes is provided by various methods including physical ones, in particular, exposure to ultrasonic vibrations. The change in the dynamic viscosity of water affects the rate of deposition of particles in the aquatic environment which can be used in natural and wastewater treatment. At the Department Water Supply and Wastewater Disposal of the National Research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering experimental studies were conducted under laboratory conditions to study the effect of ultrasound on the change in the dynamic viscosity of water. A laboratory setup has been designed consisting of an ultrasonic frequency generator of the relative intensity, a transducer (concentrator) that transmits ultrasonic vibrations to the source water, and sonic treatment tanks. Experimental studies on the impact of the ultrasonic field in the cavitation mode on the dynamic viscosity of the aqueous medium were carried out the exposure time was obtained to achieve the maximum effect.Интенсификация процессов очистки воды осуществляется с помощью различных методов, в том числе и физических, в частности воздействием ультразвуковых колебаний.

Children’S Exposure

This chapter reviews the degree to which empirical evidence demonstrates that families influence youth delinquency. Because they are most likely to be emphasized in life-course theories, this chapter focuses on parenting practices such as parental warmth and involvement, supervision and discipline of children, and child maltreatment. It also summarizes literature examining the role of children's exposure to parental violence, family criminality, and young (teenage) parents in affecting delinquency. Because life-course theories are ideally tested using longitudinal data, which allow examination of, in this case, the impact of parenting practices on children's subsequent behaviors, this chapter focuses on evidence generated from prospective studies conducted in the United States and other countries. It also discusses findings from experimental studies designed to reduce youth substance use and delinquency by improving the family environment.

Impact Of Mining

Land subsidence caused by groundwater withdrawal induced by mining is a relatively unknown phenomenon. This is primarily due to the small scale of such movements compared to the land subsidence caused by deposit extraction. Nonetheless, the environmental impact of drainage-related land subsidence remains underestimated. The research was carried out in the “Bogdanka” coal mine in Poland. First, the historical impact of mining on land subsidence and groundwater head changes was investigated. The outcomes of these studies were used to construct the influence method model. With field data, our model was successfully calibrated and validated. Finally, it was used for land subsidence estimation for 2030. As per the findings, the field of mining exploitation has the greatest land subsidence. In 2014, the maximum value of the phenomenon was 0.313 cm. However, this value will reach 0.364 m by 2030. The spatial extent of land subsidence caused by mining-induced drainage extends up to 20 km beyond the mining area’s boundaries. The presented model provided land subsidence patterns without the need for a complex numerical subsidence model. As a result, the method presented can be effectively used for land subsidence regulation plans considering the impact of mining on the aquifer system.

The Impact

The global illegal wildlife trade directly threatens biodiversity and leads to disease outbreaks and epidemics. In order to avoid the loss of endangered species and ensure public health security, it is necessary to intervene in illegal wildlife trade and promote public awareness of the need for wildlife conservation. Anthropomorphism is a basic and common psychological process in humans that plays a crucial role in determining how a person interacts with other non-human agents. Previous research indicates that anthropomorphizing nature entities through metaphors could increase individual behavioral intention of wildlife conservation. However, relatively little is known about the mechanism by which anthropomorphism influences behavioral intention and whether social context affects the effect of anthropomorphism. This research investigated the impact of negative emotions associated with a pandemic situation on the effectiveness of anthropomorphic strategies for wildlife conservation across two experimental studies. Experiment 1 recruited 245 college students online and asked them to read a combination of texts and pictures as anthropomorphic materials. The results indicated that anthropomorphic materials could increase participants’ empathy and decrease their wildlife product consumption intention. Experiment 2 recruited 140 college students online and they were required to read the same materials as experiment 1 after watching a video related to epidemics. The results showed that the effect of wildlife anthropomorphization vanished if participants’ negative emotion was aroused by the video. The present research provides experimental evidence that anthropomorphic strategies would be useful for boosting public support for wildlife conservation. However, policymakers and conservation organizations must be careful about the negative effects of the pandemic context, as the negative emotions produced by it seems to weaken the effectiveness of anthropomorphic strategies.

The Impact

In this paper, the authors analyze in more details an image encryption scheme, proposed by the authors in their earlier work, which preserves input image statistics and can be used in connection with the JPEG compression standard. The image encryption process takes advantage of fast linear transforms parametrized with private keys and is carried out prior to the compression stage in a way that does not alter those statistical characteristics of the input image that are crucial from the point of view of the subsequent compression. This feature makes the encryption process transparent to the compression stage and enables the JPEG algorithm to maintain its full compression capabilities even though it operates on the encrypted image data. The main advantage of the considered approach is the fact that the JPEG algorithm can be used without any modifications as a part of the encrypt-then-compress image processing framework. The paper includes a detailed mathematical model of the examined scheme allowing for theoretical analysis of the impact of the image encryption step on the effectiveness of the compression process. The combinatorial and statistical analysis of the encryption process is also included and it allows to evaluate its cryptographic strength. In addition, the paper considers several practical use-case scenarios with different characteristics of the compression and encryption stages. The final part of the paper contains the additional results of the experimental studies regarding general effectiveness of the presented scheme. The results show that for a wide range of compression ratios the considered scheme performs comparably to the JPEG algorithm alone, that is, without the encryption stage, in terms of the quality measures of reconstructed images. Moreover, the results of statistical analysis as well as those obtained with generally approved quality measures of image cryptographic systems, prove high strength and efficiency of the scheme’s encryption stage.
