In these vehicles, there is a significant coupling between aeroelastic phenomena and flight dynamics. This has been a topic of research in recent years. Different methodologies have been studied to model the complete dynamics of flexible aircraft. One of these is the NFNS_s methodology (Non linear flight dynamics, non linear structural dynamics, strain based formulation). This article presents the use of this methodology in the analysis of the aeroelastic response and flight dynamics of a transport category aircraft with high structural flexibility. The effects of the wing elastic axis and the flexural axis positions were analyzed. Trimming, calculus of eigenvalues and time-marching simulations were carried out and the results were analyzed in detail. Some results were compared with those published in the literature. Similar trends were observed. This served as a qualitative validation of the methodology used.  Some limitations of the study are described. The contributions of this work lie in the use of the NFNS_s methodology to analyze the effects of the elastic and flexural axis positions. In addition, the results of time marching simulations of the airplane modeled and the analysis carried out in great detail are other important novelty.","PeriodicalId":486386,"journal":{"name":"Archives of current research international","volume":"15 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141022149","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 two movements in each mode were dissociated and the phase, amplitude, damping and frequency of each of these movements were analyzed.  The structural resistances of torsion and bending, as well as the bending movement itself, have a damping effect and torsion has a destabilizing effect on the oscillations (if the centre of pressure is ahead of the flexural axis). After a certain speed, bending becomes out of phase with the applied forces. At this point, the bending has an amplifying effect on the oscillations and only the structural stiffness dampens the movement. From the speed at which the bending movement is out of phase with the applied aerodynamic loads, the damping of the mode decreases with speed, until flutter occurs. The type of analysis presented here was only possible due to the dissociation of torsion and bending movements in each mode. This is a novelty of this article. And this dissociation was made possible due to the use of the strain-based formulation, also called here as methodology NFNS_s (Non Linear Flight Dynamics – Non Linear Structural Dynamics – strain based formulation). The use of this methodology for this type of analysis was another contribution.  The article presents the proposal of a new way of analyzing the aeroelastic stability of aircraft.","PeriodicalId":486386,"journal":{"name":"Archives of current research international","volume":"2 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141058103","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 study conducted assesses the impact of foliar spray with plant growth regulators and nutrients on the germination percentage, seedling length, and seed vigour indices of chickpea varieties (JG 36 and JG 14) under water deficit conditions. Cytokinin analogues, known for breaking dormancy, and other growth regulators and nutrients were applied during the flowering stage. The results revealed significant differences in germination percentage, seedling length, seed vigour index I, and seed vigour index II among irrigation levels, varieties, and foliar spray of plant growth regulators and nutrients. Under different irrigation levels, D1 (Irrigation at 30 DAS and at flower initiation) recorded the highest germination percentage (97.24%), seedling length (31.41 cm), seed vigour index I (3054.81), and seed vigour index II (52.77) compared to control D2 (Drought stress at Flowering up to physiological maturity). JG 14 (V1) performed well, achieving the highest germination percentage of 96.99%. Among the treatments, foliar application of Benzyladenine (BA) at 40 ppm (T3) resulted in the highest germination percentage (98.17%) and seed vigour index II (60.33), whereas T8 (BA 40ppm + ZnSO4 1%) exhibited the highest seedling length (31.83 cm) and seed vigour index I (3099.85). This study demonstrates that foliar spray with plant growth regulators and nutrients, particularly Benzyladenine at 40 ppm, significantly improved germination percentage, seedling length, and seed vigour index, offering potential solutions for enhancing chickpea productivity under water deficit conditions.","PeriodicalId":486386,"journal":{"name":"Archives of current research international","volume":"26 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139531579","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}

Through this approach, data is obtained from field observations, interviews with recipient farmers, and a review of documents related to program implementation. Data analysis involves delineating the program's implementation stages, identifying inhibiting factors, and evaluating the program's impact on livestock populations and the welfare of farming communities. The findings indicate that, despite the well-executed stages of distribution, counseling, mentoring, and monitoring/evaluation, the livestock assistance program has not been effective in increasing the livestock population. Community empowerment, the main goal of the program, is hindered by the lack of skills among selected livestock aid recipients. As a recommendation, the study suggests that local governments conduct more selective verification and selection of prospective aid recipients to make the program more effective and targeted. Aid recipients are also advised to be consistent in livestock maintenance according to the technical guidance of the relevant department and enhance their understanding of proper livestock farming practices. This study contributes to a better understanding of the implementation of livestock assistance programs at the local level and offers guidance for improving policies and the implementation of similar programs in the future.","PeriodicalId":486386,"journal":{"name":"Archives of current research international","volume":"48 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139451044","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}

Body composition is an important nutritional indicator, knowledge of which allows the subdivision of body weight into some components, mainly lean mass or fat-free mass and body fat mass of individuals. \u0000Aim: To evaluate lean mass and body fat in post-COVID-19 patients, correlating them with length of stay, pre-hospitalization and post-hospitalization and patients' level of physical activity, specifying relative segmental fat. \u0000Methodology: Observational, cross-sectional study, with quantitative analysis, with a convenience sample, approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the State University of Minas Gerais. Patients undergoing care/rehabilitation in the physiotherapy/outpatient sector at a Regional Rehabilitation Center, with a history of diagnosis of COVID-19, aged 20 years or over, of both sexes, were invited to participate in the research. Lean body mass (LBM) and body fat (BF) were obtained by evaluating horizontal tetrapolar electrical bioimpedance (BIA). Body fat segmentation was collected by measuring skinfold thickness. Physical activity level (PAL) was obtained using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The hospitalization history was obtained by filling out the registration form. \u0000Results: Data from 20 patients were analyzed. The average LBM found was 69.7% and 30.3% of BF. There was no correlation between sedentary lifestyle and LBM. 50% of patients had previous comorbidities and 50% had a mild form of COVID-19 infection. 10% required hospitalization and ventilator support. 85% were physically active or very active. There was a greater presence of body fat in the abdominal and suprailiac region. \u0000Conclusion: LBM proved to be superior to other studies carried out and no statistically significant correlation was found between LBM and history of hospitalization, time elapsed since illness and PAL.
