In this paper, the dynamic properties of the modified Savonius – type\nvertical axial wind turbine (VAWT) with 5 blades in wind speed range of 6.0m/s to\n12m/s are studied by using CFD simulation with FLUENT software and taking the\npower efficiency as target function so as to obtain its optimal state. The critical length\nof the simulation region is studied as well. As compared to the original Savonius –\ntype VAWT, the advantage of the modified Savonius – type VAWT is the sufficient\n“blank space” in the central part of the wind turbine, which allows wind go through\ndirectly and thus overcome the mutual shading effect of blades, and hence the energy\nefficiency of the windmill increase.\nIt found that the optimal rotor’s rotation rate of the modified Savonius – type\nVAWT with 5 blades increases with inlet wind speed linearly, and the maximum\npower efficiency increases with inlet wind speed exponentially, which approaches to\nabout 28% as the wind speed increasing to greater value; the critical length of the\nsimulation region increases linearly with inlet wind speed. The achievement is benefit\nto the design and optimization of VAWT.
In the state of Morelos there are more than 154 lentic aquatic systems including lakes, lagoons, reservoirs and microreservoirs or “bordos”. These aquatic systems have not been the object of detailed limnological studies, in spite of their biological and economic importance. The aim was to analyze zooplankton composition, abundance and species richness at Amate amarillo microreservoir (called “bordo” in Spanish), Morelos, Mexico, and their relationship with environmental conditions between September 2010 and August 2011. Zooplankton samples were collected from two stations in the pelagic region of the aquatic ecosystem, monthly between September 2010 and August 2011. Environmental variables of water were measured. Fourteen zooplankton species were identified at the “bordo” which include ten rotifers, two cladocerans and two copepods. The most frequent species (100%) was Thermocyclops inversus, and the most abundant was Arctodiaptomus dorsalis (183 org l-1) in June. Among the cladocerans, Moina micrura was the most frequent (83%) and Diaphanosoma birgei the most abundant (39 org l-1) in June. The most abundant (in May) and frequent rotifer species was Brachionus havannaensis (220 org l-1 and 100%, respectively). The family Brachionidae had the highest species richness. The highest zooplankton abundances and species richness were recorded during the late dry season and early wet season. It is suggested that the structure of the local fauna is strongly influenced by microreservoir depletion and filling seasonal rhythms. Amate amarillo microreservoir is an eutrophic system, with warm water (20.9–27.1°C), high availability of dissolved oxygen (3–11.3 mg l-1), and high food availability for the tilapia, a local fisheries resource.

In general, solid waste materials if accumulated are of potential negative impact to the environment although it has sometimes an economic value if it is recycled. Among these solid waste materials one can mention, the exhausted plastic bottles of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) chemical composition. The increase in the consumption of these bottles has been occurred dramatically. Therefore, recycling of PET as aggregates in concrete is one of the important topics of interest to researchers in last decades. The aim of the present work is to make a comparative study on the effect of adding two kinds of PET as replacement of fine aggregates, with different percentages, on concrete properties. To achieve the goal of this research, seven mixtures have been investigated. In addition to plain concrete, two forms of PET have been used with 5%, 10% and 15% percentages as partial replacement of sand. The result obtained showed that, using PET stripes (PETS) is helpful for some mechanical and physical properties of concrete and suitable for sound absorbent concrete. While, using PET pellets (PETP) in concrete, is found better for erosion resistance against sulfuric acid solution.
Interpolation improves the resolution of the curve. Based on the stationary characteristics of the signal and the non-stationary characteristics of the noise, the theoretical proof indicates that the piecewise linear interpolation can improve the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio), which is further confirmed by simulation results.

When a fire occurs in a building, smoke is usually the main factor leading to indoor fire deaths. Therefore, smoke exhaust designs and installs appropriate equipment are very important. The ideal purpose is to control the height of the smoke layer to maintain a safe height 1.8 m above floor to ensure the impact of hot smoke on people. Therefore, occupants have enough time to safely evacuate from the fire site. Because natural smoke exhaust systems will be affected by the external wind field, the smoke exhaust performance is influenced. Therefore, in accordance with the current fire protection laws and regulations in Taiwan, the area of natural smoke vent is increased from 2 % of the floor area to 8 % to examine the performance of natural smoke exhaust systems. A computer simulate is conducted to investigated the influence of the external wind field by various pressure difference between inside building and outside. The smoke layer height, the heat release rate, the smoke temperature, and the concentration of toxic gases are studied respectively. The simulation results show that increasing the smoke exhaust vent area has little effect on delaying the fall of the smoke layer. Under the influence of the external wind field, there is little difference from different venting area. Due to the small thermal buoyancy in the initial stage of the fire field, the natural smoke exhaust system is still greatly affected by the external wind field.
Abstract \nAs a result of the tremendous development in Means of communication and exchange of information via the Internet, companies and individuals quickly developed communication tools through the Internet, and the role of electronic addresses emerged in the phenomenon of merchants and companies announcing their products and services through the Internet, and companies were interested in registering electronic addresses to market their products and services, and at this stage the phenomenon of electronic piracy grew through some people illegally registering electronic addresses in the name of well-known or famous trademarks belonging to others in order to acquire them and then sell them either to their owners or their competitors with the aim of obtaining exorbitant sums of money and this phenomenon has led to the spread of piracy of electronic addresses, due to the importance of the electronic address, many companies rushed to register electronic addresses for their trademarks, and the United States of America was the first country to organize legislation related to the registration of electronic addresses, while the Jordanian legislation is devoid of a law that governs and regulates the registration of electronic addresses, and this task has been entrusted to the National Information Technology Centre, which is an administrative body it is not competent to adjudicate in disputes e-mail addresses assault trademark, and the study dealt with defining the concept of both the trademark and the electronic address and the procedures for registering electronic addresses, whether at the national or international level, the manifestations of the electronic addresses\' assault on trademarks in terms of the causes and forms of conflict, and the legal system for settling the dispute between them in two studies and each Research section for two demands.\nKey words Email address Contention trade mark Electronic regulation \n\n \n

The purpose of this study was to examine the task conditions under which external or internal attentional focus manipulations affect low or high complexity motor skills in a field study. The participants were 57 novice girls aged 14-15 years, randomly assigned to two experimental groups (the external and internal focus of attention), and a control group. The groups followed a 12 training unit intervention program to learn a simple skill (volleyball pass) and a complex volleyball skill (overhead tennis serve) and participated in a pre-test, post-test, and transfer test in the field in real sport conditions. External focus of attention group significantly improved both movement form and outcome of the simple sport skill as well as movement outcome of the complex skill. However, there was no significant difference between the different attention focus groups on the movement form of the complex skill. In conclusion, it seems that the adoption of an external focus of attention has a positive effect on both the movement form and the movement outcome of a novel simple sport skill, or the movement outcome of the more complex sport skill.
Fundamental units are chosen in such a way that they are unique and cannot be derived from any other physical parameter or relation. It should neither be a fraction of a bigger unit nor a multiple of a smaller unit. If it does not satisfy this criterion, it loses its entitlement to be called as a fundamental unit. Use of fractional or multiple unit creates a problem and leads to misunderstanding. Such base units in the list of fundamental units of SI unit system are kg, as the unit of mass, and kmol, as the unit of amount of substance. Both these units are the multiple of smaller units g and mol respectively. In this article S has been suggested to be used in place of k and B has been suggested to be used in place of kmol. With the help of S and B, the presentation of units of different physical parameters becomes convenient, easy and in accordance with the conventional approach being followed
Field experiments were conducted to determine differential responses of four quinoa genotypes based on yield and its stability across various environments using salinity levels of irrigation water (800, 4000 and 8000 ppm) in two different locations during two growing seasons (2018/2019 and 2019/2020). In this study the two main criteria used, the average of grain yield and two indices of stability were calculated: a) the regression coefficient (bi) and b) mean square deviations from linear regression across different environments to distinguish between the genotypes tested. In general, the study showed significant differences between the four genotypes of quinoa across different environments (two locations, two seasons and three salinity levels) as well as the interaction between them. Where, CICA-17 and Chipaya genotypes showed the superiority in grain yield, while both Chipaya cultivar and Line 12 were the highest stability across different environmental conditions. The results indicate that the tested genotypes can be classified not only according to the average yield, but also to the degree of their stability across different environments which help determine the priority of using genotype in an environment over others.
This article introduces the performance of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy round-hole tubes (Al-RHTs) with diameter-to-thickness ratios of 16.5, 31.0 and 60.0 and with hole sizes of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mm under cyclic bending. The moment–curvature curve demonstrated a steady loop from the first cycle. The hole size exhibited a slight influence on the relationship. However, the ovalization–curvature curve revealed ratcheting, increasing, asymmetrical, and bowtie-like trends as the number of cycles increased. The hole size displayed substantial influence on the relationship. In addition, a larger diameter-to-thickness ratio or hole size led to a larger ovalization. The Al-RHTs were tested with three different diameter-to-thickness ratios and with five different hole sizes, the relationships between the controlled curvature and the number of cycles needed to initiate failure in double logarithmic coordinates displayed nonparallel straight lines for each diameter-to-thickness ratio. Finally, a theoretical formula was introduced to imitate the above relationships. The simulated results were compared with the experimental findings, and it was found that the theoretical analysis could reasonably reproduce the experimental results.
The purpose of this research is to improve the processes of obtaining chlorophyll extract from technologically prepared spinach leaves, which will eventually produce fat-soluble chlorophyll paste. According to this objective, the authors solved a number of problems. In particular, they selected rational technological solutions for preparing plant raw materials in order to extract photosynthetic pigments from them. The authors also identified specific features of the use of ultrasound at this stage, which resulted in the choice of rational temperature conditions when it affects plant material. Additionally, the identified kinetic regularities of the extraction process are presented and a rational approach to extracting the target component from the object of study is proposed on their basis. As a result, due to the analysis of the structures of extraction plants for processes in the solid-liquid system, the article provides practical recommendations for implementing the research results. Namely, a two-section original installation for obtaining alcohol extract with the specified indicators of the final volume concentration of the target component in it, is proposed.

Almost a year since Covid-19 began to spread. A question raised Which activities did the best job of responding to the pandemic in 2020, and what can we learn from them? A successful response to Covid-19 turned out to depend on more than an activity’s wealth, scientific prowess and history of public health successes. The food trucks activities have all of these advantages but mounted one of the challenging responses to the pandemic. Good activity, entirely only, can improve the quality of civic life and trump good public health.\nFood trucks have a way of sensing people the nostalgia about past simplicity, memories, and beautiful parts. For one, they might remind people of the sweets and ice-cream trucks that jingled a song and moving in the neighbourhood and regularly find in festival areas, calling out all the children. Other reasons to recommend dealing with food trucks is that it could find easily in many places in your way, faster, more convenient for when you’re hungry but don’t want just anything, and the atmosphere is unlike any other. Moreover, it became essential elements in the park\'s components, especially during the night\'s wee hours, or when you’re driving to your work or travelling by and need to make a pit stop for snacks. You can it in the wild all over, suburban, un inhabitant areas, or nearby the seashore that Food trucks require minimum service.\nRecently, food trucks became a phenomenon in the last few years and scattered in many cities serving the community by supplying food services. It took place in the city’ open spaces, causing changes in the urban landscape conditions. The spreading out occurred within the period of COVID 19 due to the lockdown and the closing of the restaurants and coffees as a step to control the spreading of the COVID 19 in cities. Commonly, the dealing with such activities considered by the municipalities to avoid the possible negative impacts due to the unplanned location and the haphazard of positions and numbers of these food trucks in cities. Within the field study, it was detected some lack of considering the urban landscape architecture elements causing poor quality of the open spaces. Therefore, this phenomenon should have guidelines to improve the context of the such open spaces that host such activities, which directly will joy the customers’ time while using these areas. Moreover, sustainability should be in consideration while providing the recommendation and the urban landscape architecture design guide lines.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) are physiological signals generally utilized for the analysis and clinical treatment of heart and brain related issues. In this work, we investigate the coherence analysis between the ECG and EEG signals through magnitude squared coherence (MSC) and phase coherence (PC) in the typical frequency band of 0-35 Hz. The ECG and EEG signals are acquired from the healthy persons at various respiratory rates such as low breathing (0-4 breaths/minute), normal breathing (10-12 breaths/minute) and high breathing rate (16-20 breaths/minute). The analysis is carried out at a sampling rate of 1000 samples per second with 5006 samples for each signal. The MSC and PC between the ECG and EEG signals are plotted and their mean values are computed. The measurement shows that the value of MSC between the ECG signal and EEG signal are 0.485, 0.6032 and 0.1893 at low, normal and high respiratory rate, respectively. Similarly, the value of PC is 1.4935, 1.4623 and 1.4128 at low, normal and high respiratory rate, respectively. It is established that value of MSC is maximum at normal respiratory rate and the PC is maximum at low respiratory rate. It is shown that their values decrease with higher respiratory rate. Similarly, the mean value of MSC and PC is maximum at low respiratory rate.
