The present study investigates a corpus of sixty research article abstracts (RAA), selected equally from high-ranking journals in the closely related fields of Psychology and Sociology. The study undertakes a tripartite analysis: first, the corpora are analysed in terms of macro rhetorical structure; second, stance and engagement resources are located; and third analyses one and two are combined to answer the primary research question: What are the relationships between the rhetorical moves of research article abstracts in Psychology and Sociology and linguistic realisations of stance and engagement? The major finding is that although much interdisciplinary variation is found regarding move structure and stance and engagement resource frequency, the presence of the individual resources appears to be primarily move- dependent, as opposed to discipline dependent. The study concludes with implications for English for Academic Purposes teaching and research.

LME are proficient biocatalysts with emerging biotechnological potentials. This study aimed at assessing the global trend of research on LME through bibliometric analysis using the search term: “lignin modifying enzymes, ligninolytic enzymes, lignin degrading enzymes, laccase, lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase and versatile peroxidase” to retrieve published articles between 1989 and 2019 (30 years) from Scopus database. The results showed that 1150 open access articles were published on LME in three decades with an annual growth rate of 12.39% and highest production observed in 2019 (n=133, 11.56%). China had the highest research output with 457 articles published with the period (39.70%) while the USA achieved the highest total citation of 5781 with average article citation of 75. Nevertheless, Canada published the lowest number of articles (n=35, 3%) among the top 20 countries while Mexico had the lowest citation (n=348). The most prominent author keywords and keyword plus are laccase, manganese peroxidase, white rot fungi, lignin and decolourization. This study showed that LME is a growing field with prospects in bioremediation of emerging environmental pollutants. African countries are not active in this field as none is among the top 20 productive countries in the three-decade assessment.

Several trigonometric sums are examined by means \nof partial fraction decompositions. Their generating \nfunctions will be evaluated in closed forms and the \nrelated asymptotic formulae in terms of Riemann zeta \nfunction will be established.

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is grown in arid and semi-arid regions that are specified by high evaporation and low rainfall that lead to a reduction in the sesame yield. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of drought stress on some traits such as chlorophyll fluorescence (F0, Fm and Fv/Fm), chlorophyll a,b, relative water content, grain and oil yield of 20 sesame genotypes. Ttherefore, a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at Agricultural Research Field of University of Birjand, Iran, in 2013. Experimental factors was included two water levels (full irrigation as control, irrigation up to 200 mm evaporation from the evaporation pan as drought stress) and 20 genotypes of sesame (Dashtestan5, Dashtestan2, TS-3, Yellow white, Jiroft13, Ultan, Darab1, Darab2, Darab14, Safiabad1, Ferdows, Ahvaz, Sabzevar, Sirjan, PF3, Shooshtar, Fasa, Esfahan, Fars and Arak). Results indicated that drought stress reduced the Chla,b, Fm, Fv/Fm, RWC, grain and oil yield while an increase the Carotenoid and Fm. Since biological yield, thousand grain weights, number of capsules, grain and oil yield are the most important traits in selection the productive sesame. Therefore, Darab1 genotype with the highest level of these traits introduced as superior genotype in confrontation with drought stress and it can grow successfully in arid and semi-arid regions.

In present work, Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) 99.99% pure thin films, are grown on silicon substrates using high vacuum heat resistive coating unit under vacuum of 4x10-6 mbar. The substrate temperature varied from ambient to 300 0C; rate of deposition from 2 Å /sec to 50 Å /sec, while thickness varied from 500 Å to 5000 Å. Various characterization techniques are employed to find the properties of the grown films. The samples are polycrystalline in nature, have a cubic (zinc blend) structure and are preferentially oriented with (111) plane. Hall effect measurements indicated that these films are n-type with resistivity ranging from 103 to 104 Ω-cm, while carriers concentration is in the order of 1011 to 1012 / cm3 and mobility varies from 10 cm3/Vs to 103 cm3/Vs. Thickness of the films measured by quartz thickness monitor calibrated by the absolute thickness ellipsometer. UV-VIS-NIR spectrometry used for reflectance / transmittance measurements and Touch’s plot suggested that the band gap of these films ranges from 2.65 eV to 2.85 eV. The thin films grown with low deposition rates, at higher substrate temperature have shown very good physical properties in terms of good polycrystalline structure, high transmittance, high carrier concentration, low resistivity and higher mobility.

The design of manufacturing flows is directly related to the design of the products, their construction and technological peculiarities and the size of their production series. The design of manufacturing flows is made for enterprises or production units along with the design of the enterprise and, for existing enterprises, on the occasion of the study of modernization or development of different production units. The optimum design of manufacturing flows requires the creation of appropriate conditions for the constructive and technological realization of the products. Thus, in the design of the various products, the manufacturing flow must be designed so that they can be processed in the superior conditions by using the type constructions for different parts or semi-products, unifying and typing the parts. On the basis of these conditions, the technological design of the manufacturing process is carried out, providing for the concrete forms of the technological process under the conditions of the organization of the manufacturing flow.

Our systematic volumetric studies on the aqueous solutions containing ionic liquids and carbohydrates is followed in this research with consideration of the ternary (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate + sorbitol + water) mixtures. For this purpose, via the measured density data, apparent molar volumes, their values at infinite dilution and apparent molar expansibility for these ionic liquids (ILs) in aqueous sorbitol solutions have been calculated. By means of these information, as where as possible, solute =solvent and solute-solute interactions in these systems are discussed. Hydrophilic–hydrophobic hydrophobic–ionic and hydrophobic–hydrophobic interactions are dominant in the studied ternary solutions and both ionic liquids act as structure maker in these solutions.
