Theory of the microfluidic channel angular accelerometer for inertial measurement applications

The angular accelerometer is a versatile inertial instrument with applications ranging from stabilization to navigation and satellite pointing. The performance state-of-the-art in angular accelerometry is set by the large fluid-rotor concept with low bandwidth while MicroElectromechanical System (MEMS) angular accelerometers offer a compact lower accuracy option. A novel angular accelerometer is proposed by the author to improve on contemporary angular accelerometers and MEMS gyroscopes. The sensor consists of spiral channels micromachined into multiple wafers to construct a spiral helix fluid column with high angular pressure generating potential. The two ends of the fluid column are joined at a central measurement chamber where a diaphragm-based pressure transducer outputs a signal proportional to the applied angular acceleration. The objective of this research is to derive and synthesize the theory necessary for simulation of the sensor and thereafter investigate the potential of the sensor. A wave speed corrected discrete multi degree of freedom model simulates pressure generation and -propagation. The pressure theory is verified by means of a 200mm diameter spool using 3mm polyurethane tubing with diesel or water as the inertial fluid. Accelerations of up to 480rad/s2 are imposed on 1.5m and 20m tube lengths using a rate table and the generated pressure sampled at 2kHz. Channel flow is simulated by means of a model directly derived from Szymanski’s unsteady laminar flow theory, while the pressure transducer diaphragm model is based on linear flat plate theory. Two pressure transducers are studied, the strain-gaged plain circular diaphragm and a piezo-based transducer with an annular diaphragm. All sensor theory is synthesized into a linear sensor model and the dynamic response optimized by means of the Kuhn-Tucker method. The application of the optimization routine is somewhat restricted by the presence of multiple minima in the sensor’s cost function and selection of various starting conditions points out available envelopes of sensor design. Designer judgment is applied within these local envelopes to achieve the desired sensor performance. When referenced against a noise level of Hz / V 1μ , a sensor with resolution of 2 / 6 s rad μ and bandwidth of 50Hz is simulated as feasible in a sensor of 22mm diameter by 22mm height.
Online parental mediation strategies in family contexts of Spain

This article explores online parental mediation strategies in Spain and their association with sociodemographic and family context factors. The results of a survey conducted at the end of 2018 are presented herein, based on a sample of 2,900 Spanish minors between 9 and 17 years of age who use Internet. The impact of the diverse parental mediation strategies applied to Internet use has been calculated by taking into account the sociodemographic factors of the participating minors (age and gender). Association analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical analysis programme. In this case, an extra analysis was carried out with regard to the relationship of influence between different strategies and the rules of behaviour and family support in the household context as perceived by the minor. Findings suggest that enabling and restrictive mediation strategies are very common in Spanish families, while technical mediation strategies have a very limited presence. It is noteworthy that restrictions and security strategies generally apply more to girls than to boys. Household rules related to the behaviour of minors have a positive correlation with an increase of influence of nearly all strategies. However, there is no relevant association between family support perceived by children and restrictive strategies and techniques applied by parents. Este artículo explora las estrategias de mediación parental online en España y cómo los factores sociodemográficos y del contexto familiar se asocian con ellas. Se presentan los resultados de una encuesta realizada a una muestra de 2.900 menores españoles usuarios de Internet, entre 9 y 17 años encuestados a finales del año 2018. La incidencia de las diferentes estrategias de mediación parental en el uso de Internet se ha calculado atendiendo a factores sociodemográficas de los menores (edad y sexo). Mediante un análisis de asociación realizado con el programa de análisis estadístico SPSS se explora también la relación de la incidencia de las diferentes estrategias con las reglas de comportamiento y el apoyo familiar en el contexto del hogar percibidas por el menor. Las estrategias de mediación habilitantes y restrictivas tienen una presencia importante en las familias españolas, mientras que las técnicas tienen una presencia muy limitada. Es remarcable que las restricciones y las estrategias de seguridad, generalmente se aplican más a las niñas que a los niños. Las reglas del hogar relacionadas con el comportamiento de los menores se correlacionan positivamente con el aumento de incidencia de casi todas las estrategias, sin embargo, no existe una asociación significativa entre el apoyo familiar percibido por niños y niñas y las estrategias restrictivas y técnicas aplicadas por los padres y las madres.
Air-to-water heat pumps for the home

Heat pump water heaters may be on the rise again. Retrofitters have shied away from this form of water heating due to concerns about cost, moise, efficiency, and maintaenance. Recent advances have overcome some of these problems and are helping the technology find a niche in both hot and cold climates. The topics covered in this article include the following: how heat pump water heaters work; air source from where to where, including air conditioning, heat recovery ventilation, hybrid systems; nuisances; maintenance; costs; to install or not to install; performance: a trick to quantify. 2 figs.
LUAD And LUSC Cancer Classification, Biomarker Identification, and Pathway Analysis Using Overlapping Feature Selection Methods

Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the world. Two of the most common subtypes, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), have drastically different biological signatures, yet they are often treated similarly and classified together as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). LUAD and LUSC biomarkers are scarce and their distinct biological mechanisms have yet to be elucidated. Many studies have attempted to improve traditional machine learning algorithms or develop novel algorithms to identify biomarkers, but few have used overlapping machine learning or feature selection methods for cancer classification, biomarker identification, or pathway analysis. This study proposes selecting overlapping features as a way to differentiate between cancer subtypes, especially between LUAD and LUSC. Overall, this method achieved classification results comparable to, if not better than, the traditional algorithms. It also identified multiple known biomarkers, and five potentially novel biomarkers with high discriminating values between the two subtypes. Many of the biomarkers also exhibit significant prognostic potential, particularly in LUAD. Our study also unraveled distinct biological pathways between LUAD and LUSC.
Dual Effects of Large Spleen Volume After Splenectomy for the Patients With Chronic Liver Disease

After splenectomy in patients with chronic liver disease, a large spleen was reported to be not only a risk factor of portal/splenic vein thrombosis (PSVT), but also a prediction for favorable improvement of liver function. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of PSVT and the improvement of liver function after splenectomy, with special attention to spleen volume (SV). This studied included 50 patients who underwent splenectomy with diagnosed chronic liver disease between January 2005 and December 2017. After evaluation of risk factors for PSVT the cut-off value of SV for predicting PSVT was determined. According to the cut-off value of SV, 50 patients were divided into 2 groups: small-volume group (SVG) and large-volume group (LVG). Postoperative liver functions were compared between the 2 groups. Twenty-eight patients developed PSVT. Larger SV was the most significant independent risk factor for PSVT. The cut-off value of SV was 520 mL. Preoperatively, LVG had significantly higher total bilirubin, and MELD (model for end-stage liver disease) score, and had significantly higher rates of pancytopenia than SVG. Postoperatively, compared to SVG, platelet count, choline esterase, and total cholesterol in LVG were significantly increased. After splenectomy in the patients with chronic liver disease, large SV is an independent risk factor for PSVT, with a clear benefit in improving liver function, if PSVT is properly diagnosed and managed.

Conditions of work environments in fostering transfer of training

This chapter aims to identify and validate workplace conditions that promote the transfer of training. That is, the applicability and application of knowledge, attitudes or skills learnt in training to work activities. In a study of improvement of occupational health and safety workplace practices, the transfer of training is measured by the amount of: (one) attempts of application, (two) favourable effect on organisational level. The study investigated the relations between factors on the organisational level and transfer of training. Three kinds of factors were analysed: (one) support of superiors and colleagues (e.g. getting feedback on the application), (two) working conditions(e.g. workload and decision-making power) and (3) general workplace affordances (e.g. organisational climate). It was found that all three factors play an important role in facilitating the transfer of training. Results suggest that the management of organisations needs to understand that: (one) transfer does not happen automatically, and (two) they play a role in either fostering or hindering transfer of training through the kinds of working conditions that make the implementation of learnt knowledge and skills more or less likely.
Emotional Intelligence Training Workshop and its Impact on Employee Performance: an Empirical Evaluation

Purpose: The primary focus of present research was to examine the effects of an emotional intelligence (EI) training workshop on participants’ performance. It entailed to evaluate whether the EI training workshop bring about a change in the performance of participants. The present study also encompasses the gender differences and the relationship of emotional intelligence with it. Research Design: The present research used primarily the quantitative techniques and succinctly presents the effects of enhanced emotional intelligence to the success of organization by using the data from a sample of 89 marketing managers from two selected organizations of the solar sector. In order to examine the gender differences in the emotional quotient, data was collected using Schutte’s Self Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) from 158 employees of the marketing department of the selected organizations of the solar sector. The reliability of the data collection tool was calculated using Cronbach alpha and the value for present study was 0.817. Paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, and descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Findings: The results of the statistical analysis provide significant support to the hypothesized relationships between enhanced emotional intelligence and employee performance. Study results suggest that the conduct of Emotional Intelligence Workshop does increases the productivity of the employees. The study conducted also brings out the fact that the gender differences are significant with respect to emotional competencies and the findings suggested that females are more emotionally competent as compared to males. Implications: The research implications of the present research suggested that organizational success beckons upon employee performance which can be enhanced by focusing on creating HR system that ensures high emotional quotient in employees. The present research also suggests that organizations can move ahead on the path of success by remodeling recruitment mechanisms and building a strong training methodology to increase the emotional intelligence level of employees. It is likely that this occurs because employees with high emotional quotient are found to perform better than their counterparts. Originality/value: This study furthers the research in the field of emotional intelligence by providing an empirical evidence to support the positive impact of emotional intelligence training workshop on performance of marketing managers.
ASSESSMENT OF THE THERMAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MASONRY BLOCK PRODUCTS

The objective of this study was to assess the current knowledge on the thermal and physical properties of concrete masonry units and fired clay bricks, and to outline directions for further research. In particular, the authors attempted to uncover the areas where thermal properties data are missing or are questionable, to define the type of testing required to fill in the gaps, and to characterize representative masonry blocks on which the testing should be undertaken. US building codes and standards were examined with respect to the thermal properties of masonry block products. It was concluded that the majority of these codes and standards contain insufficient and/or outdated information regarding concrete masonry units and fired clay bricks, thereby distorting the requirements for walls built with masonry units. A comprehensive bibliography search was performed and the thermal properties data obtained were listed and analyzed. Relationships were derived between oven dry density and thermal conductivity for various concretes, clays, and loose fills. The relationship between moisture content and thermal conductivity was also examined. Areas with incomplete and/or contradictory information were identified. Based on these data gaps and on data quality problems, new testing programs were recommended and improvements to current testing procedures weremore » proposed. The study also suggest low-cost test procedures which could be applied to large numbers of masonry blocks. 228 refs., 26 figs., 31 tabs. « less

Identification of climate change induced heat stress sensitive environments and prediction for diverse representative concentration pathways – A novel approach for tracking hotspots

Climate change is unequivocal across economies and India owing to its distinct geography has been exposed to several climatic risks, especially in agriculture. Heat stress is a serious environmental problem posed by climate change, wherein mean temperature is expected to increase relatively more during wheat growing season affecting production and food security. In the milieu , the investigation is pioneered to predict heat stress sensitive wheat growing environments in India for research prioritization using a long term (30 years) historical daily data. The study has developed a methodological approach by integrating statistical downscaling of climate information and principal component analysis for computing heat stress intensity index (HSII) for 17 experiment locations across wheat growing environments. HSII were estimated for existing locations post testing for Levene’s homogeneity of variance, followed by prediction for three periods’ viz., early-future (2026-2050), mid-future (2051-2075) and far-future (2076-2100) under two emission scenarios namely RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. The results alarmed a radical shift in HSII of experiment locations from one period to another in both scenarios. Experiment locations with high index values for the existing environment has moved almost to lower category in the early future and subsequently shifted to higher position in the mid-future and far-future. The investigation also found that under projected RCP4.5, trial locations in peninsular zone need more emphasis, whereas in RCP8.5, peninsular zone coupled with central zone and north eastern plains zone have to be focused. Overall, the study develops a pragmatic approach in location prioritization across predicted periods which can be replicated to other regions. On policy front, rational allocation of research funds has been suggested to carry out field trials on climate change induced heat stress sensitive environments for sustaining the national wheat production apart from developing micro-level adaptation strategies to counter adverse effects of climate change.

Yield in a 30-year-old Pinus contorta stand in a harsh climate

A 30-year-old Pinus contorta stand, growing on a mediocre site in a harsh climate, was studied with respect to the state and development of individual trees and of the stand as a whole. Competition for space in the crown stratum resulted in greater height increment, the denser was the stand (etiolation). Crown length was affected only to a small extent by stand density. The increase in height increment in dense stands was approximately equal to the decrease at the base of the live crown. This implies that P. contorta maintains a good crown length even in dense stands. In P. contorta stands, the trees can grow closely together, maintain a good crown length and exhibit good growth. In the stand in question, stand volume and increment were directly proportional to the number of stems. A large number of stems resulted in good volume and increment.
