The Impact

The objective of this paper was to create a mathematical model of vacuum drops in a form that enables the testing of the impact of design parameters of a milking cluster on the values of vacuum drops in the claw. Simulation tests of the milking cluster were conducted, with the use of a simplified model of vacuum drops in the form of a fourth-degree polynomial. Sensitivity analysis and a simulation of a model with a simplified structure of vacuum drops in the claw were carried out. As a result, the impact of the milking machine’s design parameters on the milking process could be analysed. The results showed that a change in the local loss and linear drag coefficient in the long milk duct will have a lower impact on vacuum drops if a smaller flux of inlet air, a higher head of the air/liquid mix, and a higher diameter of the long milk tube are used.

Abstract. An iterative method of superposition of correcting functions is proposed. The partial solution of the main differential bending equation is represented by a fourth-degree polynomial (the beam function), which gives a residual only with respect to the bending moment on parallel free faces. This discrepancy and the subsequent ones are mutually compensated by two types of correcting functions-hyperbolic-trigonometric series with indeterminate coefficients. Each function satisfies only a part of the boundary conditions. The solution of the problem is achieved by an infinite superposition of correcting functions. For the process to converge, all residuals must tend to zero. When the specified accuracy is reached, the process stops. Numerical results of the calculation of a square ribbed plate are presented.

We study the synthesis of a slider-crank four-bar linkage whose coupler point traces a set of predefined task points. We report that there are at most 558 slider-crank four-bars in cognate pairs passing through any eight specified task points. The problem is formulated for up to eight precision points in polynomial equations. Classical elimination methods are used to reduce the formulation to a system of seven sixth-degree polynomials. A constrained homotopy technique is employed to eliminate degenerate solutions, mapping them to solutions at infinity of the augmented system, which avoids tedious post-processing. To obtain solutions to the augmented system, we propose a process based on the classical homotopy and secant homotopy methods. Two numerical examples are provided to verify the formulation and solution process. In the second example, we obtain six slider-crank linkages without a branch or an order defect, a result partially attributed to choosing design points on a fourth-degree polynomial curve.

Introduction. Trichinellosis is a disease in humans caused by parasites of the genus Trichinella, and these roundworms can occur in a variety of animals (over one hundred mammal species). Members of the genus Trichinella are present in almost all continents and in all climate zones. Intensive studies on the eradication of this disease have been going on for a long period, but despite the finances invested in research projects, trichinellosis is still present in the 21st century and poses a major health issue all over the world. According to current scientific estimations, there are over 27 million Trichinellainfected people in the world. The aim of our study was to determine the distribution and trends for Trichinella infection in pigs and trichinellosis in humans in Serbia between 1994 and 2018. Materials and Methods. Data for the 25-year surveillance period of Trichinella cases registered in pigs and humans in Serbia was gathered from the Veterinary Directorate and from the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Serbia. The data obtained was analysed with the relative numbers of structure and dynamics, indices and descriptive statistical indicators. Results and Conclusions. During the research period, 14,837 pigs were diagnosed as infected with Trichinella. Out of this number, 87.31% of pigs were identified in the five epizootiological regions, and only 12.69% were diagnosed in the non-epizootiological regions in Serbia. During the period 1994-2018 in Serbia, a total of 6,850 people were treated for Trichinella infection. Out of this number, 4,153 (60.63%) people were from the five epizootiological regions. The trend-line describing the presence of Trichinella in pigs was defined by a fourth degree polynomial function. Meanwhile, the trend-line describing the presence of trichinellosis in humans was defined by a sixth degree polynomial function. Trichinellosis in Serbia is most common during the winter season, from December to March.
