Direct determination of turbulent burning velocity during aluminum flame propagation: A comparison of three experimental methods
No full textBurning velocity is a key parameter of main flame propagation models. However, its experimental determination while studying propagating dust flame is still challenging. In this work, aluminum flame propagation in a vertical tube is studied. Two aluminum powders with median diameters of 6.2 and 20.7 μm are analyzed for different equivalence ratios with air. The main objective of this work is to compare the methods commonly used in the literature to determine the burning velocity in the case of propagating flames. One of these methods is based on the estimation of the thermal expansion coefficient. This article focuses first on the estimation of this coefficient and presents the limits of considering the adiabatic flame temperature for its estimation. As detailed in the paper, these methods have some limitations and are therefore compared with an innovative method based on a local direct determination of the burning velocity. This local method is based on the measurement of the unburned flow velocity just ahead of the propagating flame front by Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry (TR-PIV). The methods commonly used in the literature mainly underestimate the burning velocity when compared with the local method. The local method is then used to study the influence of the particle size distribution and the equivalence ratio on the turbulent burning velocity. Firstly, we observe that the turbulent burning velocity increases while the flame is propagating in the vertical tube. Furthermore, the turbulent burning velocity with the 6-μm powder is higher than with the 20-μm powder

Recently, the diagnosis and treatment of MM have evolved due to a better understanding of disease pathophysiology, improved risk stratification, and new treatments. The incorporation of new drugs, including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, anti-CD38 antibodies and high-dose chemotherapy followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, has resulted in a significant improvement in patient outcomes and QoL. In this review, we summarize differential diagnoses and therapeutic advances in MM.Keywords: multiple myeloma, myeloma, smoldering myeloma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, light-chain amyloidosi

Socio-Economic Characterization: Muharib and Al Majidyya Jordan_Final Report
No full textJordan is one of the three most water-scarce countries in the world. The severe shortage of water has been exacerbated by drought, depletion of groundwater reserves, population growth, inflow of migrant workers and climate change.
The Badia of Jordan, the natural grazing lands, is severely degraded due to continuous grazing, cutting, plowing and severe water shortages. Rainfall is limited (100-200 mm/year) and often many factors such as (low rainfall, uneven distribution, high losses due to intensity, evaporation and runoff, and increased demand on water due to population growth) decrease the available water in any case.
Understanding the socio-economic pattern(s) of any system(s) is essential for adapting to water scarcity. Vulnerability to water scarcity depends on the interactions between changing socio-economic conditions and water scarcity hazards. So this study comes to recommend actions for water management by using water harvesting technique in the agricultural area and to empower the farmers and rural communities
HIDAYATUL INSAN BITAFSIRIL QUR’AN KARYA MARWAN HADIDI BIN MUSA: ANALISIS METODOLOGI DAN ISI RELASI ANTAR AGAMA
No full textHidayatul Insan Bitafsiril Qur’an karya Marwan Hadidi bin Musa dalam penafsirannya menggunakan paradigma salafi wahabi. Metodologi Islah berhasil menganalisis literatur tafsir secara kritis. Menurut Marwan kita diperbolehkan untuk membenci non-Muslim karena Allah Swt. Penelitian ini dimaksudkan agar dapat mengetahui metodologi dan isi tentang relasi antar agama pada kitab tafsir Hidayatul Insan Bitafsiril Qur'an. Penelitian ini berfokus pada analisis bahan tertulis dan menggunakan metode analisis data deskriptif. Pada analisis metodologi, penulis menggunakan metodologi tafsir Islah Gusmian. Sedangkan dalam analisis isi tentang relasi antar agama, penulis menggunakan Hermeneutik Gadamer yaitu Hermeneutik Filosofis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metodologi tafsir terdiri dari 2 aspek utama. Pertama, teknik penulisan terbagi menjadi 8 bagian. Kedua, aspek hermeneutik terbagi menjadi 3 bagian. Pada surah Al-Maidah: 3 yang dipengaruhi oleh pemikiran Albani, Marwan menyatakan bahwa bid'ah adalah tidak menjadikan Al-Qur'an dan sunah sebagai acuan kehidupan dan tidak ada bid'ah h}asanah karena inovasi dalam agama dianggap sesat, tertolak, dan haram. Pada surah Ali-Imran: 19, Marwan berupaya memperkuat nilai-nilai ajaran Islam murni dan mendorong umat Islam untuk kembali kepada ajaran yang benar, seperti ajaran salaf wahabi yang mengaitkan praktik keagamaan dengan ajaran salaf as-s}alih. Pada surah Al-Maidah: 51 Marwan menolak keyakinan non-Muslim karena mereka syirik terhadap Allah Swt. dan membenci non-Muslim karena Allah Swt. sebagai tanda kesempurnaan iman. Marwan melarang sikap wala terhadap non-Muslim. Namun, pada surah Al-Mumtahanah: 10, Marwan memberikan batasan dalam bersikap baik kepada non-Muslim, seperti mengajak mereka memeluk Islam, bersikap wala dalam muamalah, membalas kebaikan, dan bersikap adil dengan niat mendapatkan keridhaan Allah Swt
IN-VITRO ANTICOAGULANT EFFECT OF AERIAL PARTS EXTRACTS OF YEMENI FAGONIA SCHWEINFURTHII HADIDI
No full textBackground: Blood coagulation is a quick and effective process that results in the creation of clots, which demands to monitor. Many illness disorders include an abnormality in blood coagulation. This study examined the in vitro effects of methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane extracts from aerial parts of Fagonia schweinfurthii Hadidi on healthy human volunteers' blood coagulation. 
Methods: The Secondary metabolites were extracted from dried and crushed F. schweinfurthii aerial parts using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol, respectively. Additionally, the extracts were tested in vitro at different concentrations (10-100 µg/ml) on the blood coagulation profile, prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (a PTT) of apparently healthy human volunteers.
Results: Methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane extracts of F. schweinfurthii aerial parts significantly (p˃0.05) prolonged PT and PTT in the blood of healthy human volunteers with Ethyl acetate and methanol extracts recorded the largest prolongation of PT and PTT correspondingly. The highest PT and PTT prolongation was achieved at 100µg/ml, and the least prolongation time was obtained at 10µg/ml.
Conclusion: These findings displayed that F. schweinfurthii aerial parts contain phytochemical constituents with anticoagulant characteristics and could be used to treat blood clotting disorders.
