This work describes a newly proposed two-stage model for silicate glass transition. The model recognizes that there is a cooling rate independent critical temperature Tc, separating two temperature regions. The coherent structures in the two regions change along different paths. All observed dynamic features in the glass transition result from structural rearrangements in the process. According to the proposed model, the silicate glass transition can be recognized as a second-order phase transition following an incomplete first-order phase transition. This work will first describe the two-stage model, and then apply the model to silica glass, as well as binary and ternary silicate glass transitions.","PeriodicalId":12547,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Science Frontier Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90721076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These biochemical transformations are driven by anthropogenic activities in the immediate riverine water catchments. The anthropogenic activities may include and not limited to extraction of goods such as agricultural products, wood products, honey, plant based pharmaceutical products, livestock products, firewood, water and grass for thatching homesteads. Riparian ecosystems also provide important tangible and intangible ecosystem services comprising spiritual and aesthetic functions, pollination, ecosystem detoxification functions, carbon and nitrogen sequestration and CO2 sinks for amelioration of climate change impacts among others. These ecosystems are increasingly threatened by degradation attributed to land use changes. Human perturbations such as crop farming on riparian land, overgrazing and population pressure on land resources influence degradation of riparian ecosystems, with profound effects on biodiversity conservation and local livelihoods. Evidence from the literature indicates that although there is a general understanding regarding the response of terrestrial and wetland ecosystems to human perturbations, there is a dearth of information on the response of African riparian ecosystems to ecologic and socio-economic impacts.","PeriodicalId":12547,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Science Frontier Research","volume":"125 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76012863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter has remained unresolved for its formation mechanism. Based on the Fluid Gauge Theory proposed recently by the author, formation mechanism of the dust striation is studied. When the sound is weak enough, the striation is unobserved. Once the wave intensity exceeds a threshold value, dust striations are formed. Formation of the dust striation is understood as a spontaneous transition of symmetry in the acoustics. According to the Theory, there is a transition of stress field within the fluid flow. Whereas the stress field is isotropic before transition, it becomes anisotropic after the transition. This is analogous to the spontaneous symmetry breaking known in the field theory. Lagrangian structures of both systems are verified to be analogous either.","PeriodicalId":12547,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Science Frontier Research","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85117801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The controller is intended also to reject the effect of the interaction between the drill-bit and rock formation which induces non-linear stick-slip friction torque while tracking a desirable constant angular velocity of the drill-string. In order to demonstrate the merits of the proposed control algorithm, it is integrated with a simple two degrees-of-freedom model of the drill-string which is considered as a benchmark model for studying stick-slip induced torsional vibrations. Details of the development of the individual components making up the entire control action of the sliding mode controller (SMC) are presented. These components aim at rejecting the effect of the external disturbance of the stick-slip disturbance and tracking a reference angular velocity of the drill-string. Such development of the control action components is established using Lyapunov stability criterion. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the SMC controller as influenced by the weight-on-bit (WOB), the drill-string rotational speed, and the main parameters of the controller. The stick-slip sensitivity (SSS) maps are developed to illustrate the performance characteristics of the active system for different operating conditions and important design parameters of the SMC. The presented active control approach is envisioned to present an invaluable and practical means for effectively mitigating the undesirable effects of stick-slip frictional disturbances on drill-stings.","PeriodicalId":12547,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Science Frontier Research","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83617043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effects were assessed immediately after thermal treatment and following an equilibration/stabilization period. Soils were heated at four controlled temperatures (65, 300, 425, and 550°C) and also in an uncontrolled smoldering device, with 0 or 50 g kg-1oil added and with 3 levels of salt solution added (0, 1, or 3 ms cm-1). Soils were ‘rapidly weathered’ via wet/dry cycles at 37°C for five weeks. Initial changes in soil fertility were extreme enough to inhibit plant growth. Soil pH values were positively related to temperature, exceeding pH 8.5 at 550°C. The severity of changes was markedly reduced following incubations, showing that post heat treatment fertility will rebound with time and water.","PeriodicalId":12547,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Science Frontier Research","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81286443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
