This research focuses on the physicochemical characteristic of fermentation of Aloe Saponaria. The fermentation process applied in this study had 2 variation, depends on the aloe part as the materials (bottom, middle, and tip) and the initial sugar content (24% and 0%) used. Tests are conducted using uinkin fermented powder, sugar, salt, and distilled water as fermenting agent. The results indicate that change in physicochemical properties of aloe's skin was larger than in aloe's gel as fermentation materials. In contrast, there was no significant change in aloe's leaf during the process. A lso, aloes with intial sugar condition of 24% show better results than which without sugar addition in fermentation.

In the present paper, we aim to obtain several approximation properties of Stancu form Szász-Mirakjan-Durrmeyer operators based on Bézier basis functions with shape parameter λ ∈ [-1, 1]. We estimate some auxiliary results such as moments and central moments. Then, we obtain the order of convergence in terms of the Lipschitz-type class functions and Peetre's K-functional. Further, we prove weighted approximation theorem and also Voronovskaya-type asymptotic theorem. Finally, to see the accuracy and effectiveness of discussed operators, we present comparison of the convergence of constructed operators to certain functions with some graphical illustrations under certain parameters.

Many numerical methods have been developed since 1961, but unresolved issues remain. This study developed a numerical method to address these issues and determine the coefficients and properties of rotational waves with a shear current in a finite water depth. The number of unknown constants was reduced significantly by introducing a wavelength-independent coordinate system. The reference depth was calculated independently using the shooting method. Therefore, there was no need for partial derivatives with respect to the wavelength and the reference depth, which simplified the numerical formulation. This method had less than half of the unknown constants of the other method because Newton's method only determines the coefficients. The breaking limit was calculated for verification, and the result agreed with the Miche formula. The water particle velocities were calculated, and the results were consistent with the experimental data. Dispersion relations were calculated, and the results are consistent with other numerical findings. The convergence of this method was examined. Although the required series order was reduced significantly, the total error was smaller, with a faster convergence speed.

Compared with organic fluorophores, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have the better properties such as photostability, narrow emission spectra coupled to tunable photoluminescent emissions and exceptional resistance to both photo bleaching and chemical degradation. In this work, CdSe/ZnS QDs nanobeads were prepared by the incorporation of CdSe/ZnS QDs with mesoporous silica to use as the optical probe for detecting toxic and bio- materials with high sensitivity, CdSe/ZnS core/shell QDs were synthesized from the precursors such as CdO and zinc stearate with the lower toxicity than pyrotic precursors. The QD-nanobeads were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, FL microscopy, UV-Vis and PL spectroscopy, respectively.

We present a methodology to detect moving shadows in video sequences, which is considered as a challenging and critical problem in the most visual surveillance systems since 1980s. While most previous moving shadow detection methods used hand-crafted features such as chromaticity, physical properties, geometry, or combination thereof, our method can automatically learn features to classify whether image segments are shadow or foreground by using a deep learning architecture. Furthermore, applying Markov Random Field enables our system to refine our shadow detection results to improve its performance. Our algorithm is applied to five different challenging datasets of moving shadow detection, and its performance is comparable to that of state-of-the-art approaches.

An Ni-Fe/YSZ core-shell structured anode for uniform microstructure and catalytic activity was synthesized. Flat tubular segmented-in-series solid oxide fuel cell-stacks were prepared by decalcomania method using synthesized anode powder. The Ni-Fe/YSZ core-shell anode exhibited better electrical conductivity than a commercially available Ni-YSZ cermet anode. Also power output increased by 1.3 times with a higher open circuit voltage. These results can be attributed to the uniformly distributed Ni particles in the YSZ framework. The impedance spectra of a Ni-Fe/YSZ core-shell anode showed comparable reduced ohmic resistance similar to those of the commercially available Ni-YSZ cermet anodes.

Microfluidic device can be applied in a wide range of chemical and biological technology. In this paper, ceramic-based T-type passive mixers for microfluidic applications were fabricated by LTCC process combined with thick film photolithography. The base ceramic material in thick film was amorphous cordierite $((Mg,Ca)_2Al_4Si_5O_{18})$ and photoimageable polymers were added to give a photosensitivity. Two types of passive mixer, which showed the channel width of 1.0 mm and $200{\mu}m$, respectively, were designed considering mixing efficiency in the channel and their microfluidic properties were discussed in detail.

Currently, piezoelectric ceramics are being applied in various fields, such as ultrasonic sensors, vibration devices, sound filters, and various energy conversion devices. Flexible piezoelectric ceramics are widely studied in an effort to mitigate the disadvantages of their brittle and inductile properties. Structural damage to piezoelectric fibers is much less than that to thin films when piezoelectric fibers are twisted or bent. Therefore, stretchable devices can be fabricated if piezoelectric fibers are obtained using an elongated substrate. In this study, sintering processes of PZT ($Pb(Zr_{0.53}Ti_{0.47})O_3$) fibers prepared by electrospinning were optimized through the TGA and XRD analyses. The crystal structure and microstructure of the piezoelectric fibers were investigated by XRD, FE-SEM and TEM.

Well-dispersed Ag₃VO₄ nanoparticles @polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were synthesized by an easily controlled, template-free method as a photo-catalyst for the degradation of methylene blue. Their structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties have been studied by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy equipped with rapid energy dispersive analysis of X-ray, photoluminescence, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The characterization procedures revealed that the obtained material is PAN nanofibers decorated by Ag₃VO₄ nanoparticles. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue investigated in an aqueous solution under irradiation showed 99% degradation of the dye within 75 min. Finally, the antibacterial performance of Ag₃VO₄ nanoparticles @PAN composite nanofibers was experimentally verified by the destruction of Escherichia coli. These results suggest that the developed inexpensive and functional nanomaterials can serve as a non-precious catalyst for environmental applications.

With the recent increase in the demand for electric vehicles, it is necessary to identify the high current safety of automobile parts. Among the automobile parts, the EPDM parts required colored parts from the existing black; therefore, it was necessary to change the basic filler from carbon black to silica. The rubber used in automobile parts is flexible and exhibits basic characteristics of high strength and elongation. However, as the filler is changed to silica, its physical properties, such as tensile strength and elongation, are lower than those of the existing carbon black base. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical properties with the addition of the EPDM compound using silica as a base without degrading the physical properties of EPDM. In this study, an experiment based on the additive content was performed using the mixture experimental planning method to analyze the mechanical properties according to the additive type and mixing ratio of silica-based EPDM. The mixing ratio of the four additives was set using a simplex lattice design, and the tensile strength, elongation, modulus 300%, and permanent compression reduction rate were analyzed for mechanical characteristics, and rheometer experiments were performed for vulcanization characteristics. Through statistical analysis of the measured data, the main effects and interactions of the EPDM-blended rubber additives were analyzed. These results can be used to derive a mixing ratio of additives that satisfies the required characteristics of the EPDM compound.
