Mixed convection heat transfer of Cu-water nanofluid in a lid driven square cavity with several heated triangular cylinders

Boulahia, Zoubair — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

The problem of mixed convection heat transfer of nanofluid in a lid driven square cavity containing several heated triangular cylinders is studied numerically using the finite volume discretization method. The upper and bottom walls are thermally insulated while the left and right walls are cooled at constant temperature, T_c. The present investigation considered the effects of pertinent parameters such as; size and number of the heated triangular cylinders on the flow and Nusselt number. The other parameters governing the problem are the Richardson number (0.1? Ri ? 100), the Prandtl number of the pure water (Pr = 6.2) and the volume fraction of nanoparticles (0 ? ? ? 0.05). Results show that increasing size and number of the heated triangular cylinders leads to increase the heat transfer rate. It is also found that by reducing Richardson number and increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles, the average Nusselt number increases.

Interest redressals and implications: A detailed analysis

Mazhar, Khalida Adeeb — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

Capitalist system has created a great distortion in different fields of life; its basic cause is interest (Sood). In our society, there are a lot of people who think that interest is an essential element for living a life. Now these days, people are forming new departments on the basis of interest and such type of schemes are something interest system. Our Islamic System is totally destroyed. We forget the real meaning of RABBWA and what is system of trading. These days; we are having different misconceptions regarding interest. For ruining all evils which are created from poverty and from interest system; there should be enhancing zakat system in a proper way and people should live their lives in guidance of Islam; one day, our society will be formed like a paradise.

Determination of the concentration in ABVT in fishes, shrimps and crabs appropriated in some fishing grounds of the Ahémés lakes and Nokoués and of the lagoon of Port-Novo

YAOU, Innocent BOKOSSA — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

The products of fishing (fish, shrimp and crab) represent close to 31% of the national consumption of animal proteins to Benin. However, they are highly perishable commodities. The different methods and techniques used for their conservation by the actors of the fishing don't permit to get products of good quality. The change of these products entails the reduction of their values commercial and nourishing. Some chemical parameters of which the Total Volatile Basic nitrogen (ABVT), permit to show the degree of change of these products. The present survey aims the determination of the concentration then in ABVT of the fishing products as fishes, the shrimps and the crabs appropriated at the fishers and the dealers of the Ah

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS FAILURE RATES AND PERSPECTIVES ON WHY THEY FAIL

Koi-Akrofi, Godfred Yaw — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

Mergers and acquisitions represent the ultimate in change for a business. Despite this, it is common knowledge that mergers and acquisitions do fail and they do not necessarily create shareholder value. The main aim of this piece of research work was to contribute to the general body of knowledge in the area of failure rates, and the perspectives on why mergers and acquisitions fail. The objective was to investigate from literature on the failure rates and perspectives on why M and As fail, present the various discussions and arguments on the subject matter, and then catalog them for researchers and students in this particular field. It was found that the integration stage of the whole merger and acquisition process was the most problematic area which contributes to merger and acquisition failure, and that the problem in the integration stage has to do with the human factor (the employees-coping with cultural differences, politics, lack of effective communication, etc). Another factor that occurred most after the human factor is poor strategies that are rolled out after the deal is sealed. Again, M and A failure rate is very high; averaging about 50%, regardless of the initial high hopes.

Impact of erosion on the transport of trace metals (SEM) and sediments quality along the river Karavia : Case of Penga Penga Tray, Lubumbashi, Haut Katanga / RD Congo

Kalala, Serge Kashimbo — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

Since the beginning of the century, the environment (air, land and water) has been subjected to increasing pressure from industrial and human activities whose effects were quickly felt. In the aquatic environment, much of anthropogenic or natural compounds are adsorbed on particulate matter and accumulate in sediment. Sediment can affect the bioavailability of contaminants and therefore toxicity. A transect was established along the river Karavia, and (composite) samples of sediments were collected in surface and in depth about four retained stations for laboratory analysis. The results indicate a high concentration of trace metals (SEM), especially copper (3488 ppm 2307 ppm surface against deep) in sediments. The level of copper content exceeds excessively standards AFNOR, WHO and Canadian recommendations for the protection of aquatic life and indicate severe pollution of the substrate. The transfer of pollutants through the profile, particularly the copper is notable. This is justified: First, the ETM from copper production through the factory Gecamines has accumulated in the surface horizons and reached a very high level of concentration, causing the disappearance of vegetation and emergence of large bare surfaces. Increased erosion explains the transfer of the ETM-Penga Penga tray down or bottom-Karavia pass the river. Second, the chemical parameters (pH, CEC) and soil (particle size) explain the transfer of ETM through the profile. The ultimate goal of this study component "sediment" is to assess the impact of these pollutants, sediment in particular, the most realistic way possible on the environment.

Diagnosis of water contamination of the river Mulungwishi by metal trace elements (ETM) : Lubumbashi, Haut Katanga / RD Congo

Kalala, Serge Kashimbo — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

In the aquatic environment, much of anthropogenic or natural compounds are adsorbed on particulate matter and accumulate in sediment. Sediment can affect the bioavailability of contaminants and therefore toxicity. A transect was established along the river Mulungwishi, 12 stations were selected along this transect and water and sediment samples were collected for laboratory analysis. The results indicate a high concentration of elements in the study (Cu, Co, Pb, Fe, Mn, and Mg), particularly in sediments than in the water. Cu slightly exceeds WHO standards set at 2 mg / L, the station 7. Against the stations 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 show high concentrations in sediments to Cu, Co. This is explained by the change in physicochemical conditions of rivers. In this case, it is the pH of the water, particularly when acid which facilitates the mobility of certain hazardous components and their transport along the river especially when the speed is great. By cons when the pH of the water is basic, some other elements precipitate and accumulate in sediment, increasing their concentrations, or of the risk of exposure of aquatic fauna, creatures and aquatic plants as well as the man who would exercise any activity on an exposed river has human pressure in all its forms.

Acute paracetamol poisoning in children: a retrospective study of 42 cases in Sfax General Pediatrics Service

Ghorbel, Asma — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

Paracetamol is one of the best selling drugs in the world for its analgesic and antipyretic properties. However, before the commoditization of its use and accessibility without a prescription, it appears as innocuous and harmless molecule. The aim of this study was to evaluate the management of patients admitted to general pediatric ward Hedi Chaker Hospital Sfax acute paracetamol poisoning during a period of 6 years from 1 January 2009 until 31 December 2014. A retrospective study has yielded information on 42 patients admitted for acute paracetamol poisoning using a questionnaire involving demographics, clinical history and the support arrangements. The acute paracetamol poisoning accounted for 36% of all drug poisoning and has hit in 95% of children under 5 years with a male predominance (sex ratio 0.9). Self-medication (82%) was the leading cause of accidental poisoning (76%). Hepatic lesions were described in 90% of patients with only transaminase assays. Hepatotoxicity has not been evaluated by blood level paracetamol according to the validated nomograms (Prescott). Abusive treatment with N-acetylcysteine had been established in all patients without the need for dose adjustment of tools. These results show that high consumption of paracetamol and ignorance of its adverse effects promote the occurrence of accidental poisoning in Tunisia. This results in considerable need of upgrading treatment protocols of acute poisoning with this product.

KARAMOKO, Detto — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

This study was carried out to determine organic acids in palm saps throughout tapping. Palm wine sample at different stages of processing namely tapping, were collected and analysed for physical, biochemical, nutritional and microbiological parameters (pH, total titratable acidity (TTA), fermenting microorganisms) extracted from two varieties of palm oil tree (Dura and Tenera). Microbiological and biochemical contents of palm wine were determined during the tapping of Dura and Tenera felled oil palm trees for 4 weeks. Some differences in chemical compositions between fresh palm wine samples of two palm trees varieties were observed. In addition the results of pH, total titratable acid and organic acids confirmed the importance of lactic acid bacteria in the tapping of palm wine. The organic acids of fresh palm wines collected during tapping are showed in Fig 3. Organic acids detected in the freshly collected palm wine (first day) included oxalic (0.1

AGROGENETIC DIVERSITY OF LOCAL CULTIVARS OF COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA) IN THE FAR-NORTH REGION OF CAMEROON

Djilé, Bouba — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

For improvement in cowpea production in Cameroon, the notice of diversity markers within traditional cowpea varieties are necessary. This study aims to identify the markers of agronomical and morphological diversity related to the production of local cowpea cultivars in the Far North Cameroon. 215 local cultivars were collected in the main cowpea production areas. Classifications of these cultivars were carried out based on the morphological characteristics of the seeds and phenotypic characteristics of plant cultivars. This work has confirmed the presence of a high diversity of seeds and cultivars. It appears that 6 phenotypical features of seeds and 5 morphotypical features of plants are critical in cowpea diversity. Late morphotypes (52.31%) and crawling (63.07%) plants with globular shape (57.04%) and white color (87.85%) of seeds are the most cultivated and the most diverse in the region. Cultivars of the Mayo-Sava locality have a significant up rate (64.15 %) and the highest yield of dry seeds (284.68 Kg / Ha) followed by those from Diamar

MBIAH, Anny Flore Tchouta — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

Organizational social cohesiveness requires the involvement and support of each of its members to the formal group. Many principles, including the superimposition of basic social values with organizational standards works for this aim. The non-line up of these two factors poses challenges within organizations for members to collaborate in formal groups. These are crystallizing around transitional standards to ensure their cognitive and behavioral consistency. To demonstrate the effect of the mismatch between social values and organizational standards on the lack of organizational social cohesion, an empirically and documentary analysis has being carried out.

Pharmaceutical control of ibuprofen tablets brands sold in the formal and informal sectors in Cameroon

NNANGA NGA, Emmanuel — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

The proliferation of illicit drug markets facilitate the flow of doubtful quality products of uncertain origin to the most disadvantaged populations. The consumption of counterfeit medicines that do not meet international standards can explain the repeated treatment failures, the development of tolerance or even addiction to drug observed after taking generic drugs. High consumption of compressed ibuprofen, second most consumed analgesic after paracetamol led us to a comparative study of physicochemical and dosage parameters of the generic pill ibuprofen 400 mg sold in the formal and informal market in Douala according to international pharmacopoeia. The results show that non-normalised medicines are present both in the formal and in the informal circuit. Each of the circuits presented a compliance rate of about 80%. Moreover, the presence of the same batch of tablet, from the same laboratory both in the formal and in the informal circuit would be a proof that the informal market of drugs "gazon" supply is assured by both the smuggling and the formal distribution sector. It is imperative that Governments in countries such as Cameroon through health and safety officers take radical decisions to control the quality, stability and efficiency of drugs introduced in their countries.

Knowledge representation using fuzzy cognitive maps and hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets

Saleh, Salah Hasan — 2016-07-02T00:00:00-00:00

Fuzzy cognitive maps have received increasing attention for the representation of causal knowledge, being especially useful in biomedicine. Recently some extension for using fuzzy cognitive maps using the paradigm of computing with words in order to provide causal models that are easily understood have been proposed. Nevertheless, there are situations in which experts hesitate between several values to assess the causal relation. To this end, we propose the use of of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets. Finally, the paper presents an illustrative example of the model for biomedical knowledge representation.
