The potential of brushless doubly-fed machines for adjustable speed drives

The more widespread adoption of adjustable-speed drives to promote process efficiency through energy conservation is currently hampered by the high cost of power electronic conversion units for use with AC motors. The examination of alternative methods of obtaining speed control in both synchronous and induction machines leads to the conclusion that a self-cascaded machine has considerable promise. The motor has six input terminals to the same stator windings: one three-phase set presenting a different pole number to the other three-phase set. The rotor is a specialized form of a robust cage construction without slip rings. When operated in a doubly-fed mode, this machine requires only a fraction of its input power to be processed by a power electronic converter. The resulting system has the potential to provide a low cost, robust, fault-tolerant, precise speed, and adjustable speed drive. <<ETX>>
An Early Holocene Primary Dolomite Layer of Abiotic Origin in Lake Sayram, Central Asia

The “dolomite problem” is a long‐standing puzzle in sedimentology and mineralogy. Previous studies have shown that some dolostones are formed by microbes or in hydrothermal–burial environments. Here, we provide a different case in which an abiotic and Ca‐rich dolomite layer precipitated in Lake Sayram, Central Asia, during the early Holocene. The 12‐cm‐thick layer consists of abundant partially ordered dolomite crystals (mean > 50 wt% and maximum = 81 wt%) which have euhedral and rhombohedral shapes and weak cation ordering. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that even in a single crystal, compositions vary among different domains. Mineralogical and isotopic evidence suggests that these dolomites are of primary and abiotic origin. We infer that this dolomite layer might be the product of day and night temperature cycling of shallow lake water under local warming trend. This study provides evidence for abiotic dolomites forming at ambient temperature.
Carbon Forests at the Margins of the State: The Politics of Indigenous Sovereignty and Market Environmentalism in the North-eastern Hills of India

In the north-eastern hills of Meghalaya, the Khasi Hills project, self-advertised as ‘one of the first Redd+ initiatives in Asia to be developed and managed by indigenous governments on communal lands’, is often presented as one of the rare success stories of India’s recent experimentation with market instruments as part of its forest governance. This article uses this example to extend existing discussions on the neoliberalization of forest governance, and its intersections with the cultural politics of resource control. Unlike mainstream forestry projects criticized for being too concentrated in the hands of the Forest Department, this project explicitly taps into the particularities of a region located on the margin of the Indian nation-state, where, crucially, ownership and control of the land lie formally with the people rather than with the state. The article explores the politics of this curious marriage of (formal) indigenous sovereignty with market environmentalism, showing, first, the centrality of these assumed cultural and ecological specificities within the regime of justification of such market project; second, how the aspirations of project proponents for community engagement unravelled in practice; and, third, the limits of their endeavours due to larger structural social inequalities and the requirements of such market projects. I conclude with the idea that far from being anecdotal, this case brings interesting perspectives in the context of the struggle for the recognition of forest rights in the rest of India.
A naturalistic environment to study visual cognition in unrestrained monkeys

Macaque monkeys are widely used to study vision. In the traditional approach, monkeys are brought into a lab to perform visual tasks while they are restrained to obtain stable eye tracking and neural recordings. Here, we describe a novel environment to study visual cognition in a more natural setting as well as other natural and social behaviors. We designed a naturalistic environment with an integrated touchscreen workstation that enables high-quality eye tracking in unrestrained monkeys. We used this environment to train monkeys on a challenging same-different task. We also show that this environment can reveal interesting novel social behaviors. As proof of concept, we show that two naive monkeys were able to learn this complex task through a combination of socially observing trained monkeys and solo trial-and-error. We propose that such naturalistic environments can be used to rigorously study visual cognition as well as other natural and social behaviors in freely moving monkeys.
Institutional Response and Impact of Reporting Sexual Violence: An Examination of Sexual and Gender Minority College Students

Although college students who are sexual and gender minorities (SGM) experience higher rates of sexual victimization than their peers who identify as heterosexual and cisgender, there is a paucity in the literature investigating how college campuses can address the needs of SGM college students in violence prevention and response. The present research examines a subset of data from the Healthy Minds Survey (HMS), a national web-based survey administered across two universities from 2016 to 2017. We examined the role of SGM status in the rates of sexual violence, perceptions of their college/university’s institutional response to reports of sexual violence (e.g., taking a report seriously and taking corrective action), and the perceived impact of reporting sexual violence (e.g., students would support the person making a report). Logistic regression analyses revealed higher rates of sexual victimization among sexual minority students (compared to heterosexual), women (compared to men), and transgender and gender diverse (TGD) students (compared to cisgender). In addition, sexual minority (compared to heterosexual), women (compared to men), and TGD (compared to cisgender) students were more likely to perceive their institution would have a poor response to reports of sexual violence. Women and sexual minority students were also likely to believe that students who report sexual violence would suffer academically. These findings highlight the need for continued efforts to enhance sexual assault prevention and response efforts on college campuses, especially for SGM students.
Genetic diversity of redclaw crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus von Martens 1868 using 16S mitochondrial DNA marker

There have been reported around 11 aquatic invasive alien species (IAS) found in Malaysian waters. Cherax quadricarinatus, or commonly known as Australian redclaw crayfish, is one of the invasive species. C. quadricarinatus has the potential of causing negative impacts ecologically and economically in the local environment as it has reported in several countries if they get established and not monitored properly. Habitat alteration, native species depletion and spreading of diseases are among the reported negative impacts of C. quadricarinatus. This study was conducted with the aim to assess the genetic diversity of C. quadricarinatus from 4 different populations. Uncovering the diversity and population structure of the redclaw crayfish will help in enhancing the understanding of adaptation and survival of C. quadricarinatus. Thus, the information can be used in monitoring and management of this invasive crayfish in future. DNA of C. quadricarinatus was successfully extracted from its tissue and amplified via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) 16S gene then proceeded for sequencing and analysed using several genetic analysis software to understand the diversity, phylogeny and population structure of this invasive crayfish species. A total of 493 bp fragments of 32 samples from four sampling sites were obtained. Four haplotypes were observed which Hap-1 was the most common haplotype. The highest genetic variation is Selangor (Pi = 0.00248, Hd = 0.694). However, low levels of both haplotype and nucleotide diversity indicates the loss of genetic diversity. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) results revealed that the percentage of genetic variation within the population was 69.58% while among populations was 30.42%, indicating significant genetic differentiation among population (P < 0.05). The maximum likelihood tree showed that all haplotypes were clustered and grouped together with United States, Czech Republic, China and Australia.
Intracranial Meningeal Carcinomatosis from Prostate Cancer

Due to an apparent increase in the number of cases of intracranial meningeal carcinomatosis in patients with prostate cancer observed in the early 2010s, we undertook a retrospective study to explore possible associated factors. Between 2008 and 2014 we identified 10 patients presenting with meningeal carcinomatosis. The time between the initial diagnosis, the first metastasis, the first chemotherapy, and the diagnosis of meningeal carcinomatosis were analyzed as well as the possible factors associated with this peculiar tumor spreading. The median time from the initial diagnosis to the development of meningeal carcinomatosis was 54 months. There were 21 months between the first chemotherapy and the diagnosis of meningeal carcinomatosis. Docetaxel was given in 80% of the patients. Along with the younger age of the patients (median 56 years) docetaxel appears to be the main common factor that characterized this cohort of patients. Several hypotheses that may explain this temporary increase of this metastasizing mode are elaborated and discussed in the present article.
Summary Review of GPS Technology for Structural Health Monitoring

Over the last two decades, global positioning system (GPS) technology has been developed rapidly and recently applied to civil structures for appropriate monitoring of structural performance. Currently, the GPS technique can only be applied to flexible structures having lower modal frequency ranges, and it still has remaining issues when it comes to obtaining accurate measurements. However, the application of GPS is promising as a monitoring tool because it can measure dynamic characteristics and static displacements in real time, whereas the conventional monitoring system using accelerometers cannot measure static and quasi-static displacements. Furthermore, rapid advancements in GPS devices and algorithms can mitigate erroneous sources of GPS data, and integrated systems using GPS receivers with other supplement sensors are capable of providing accurate measurements. Therefore, GPS technology can provide accurate displacements of structures in real time, and stress and strain conditions of the structures can be computed using finite-element models and numerical analyses. It is also expected that damage localization and severity can be identified using the dynamic characteristics of structures obtained from GPS. This paper summarizes the use of GPS technology for structural health monitoring.
Optically controlled high-speed switching of a power transistor

Pulsed phototransistor switches using profiled optical drive have been extended to control power transistors. The principle has been tested using the criterion of switching several hundreds of watts. With low-cost LEDs and phototransistors for the optical isolation, power output switch times well below 1 Ms have been demonstrated.
WHORF IN THE WILD: NATURALISTIC EVIDENCE FROM HUMAN INTERACTION

The past few decades have seen a full resurgence of the question of whether speakers of different languages think differently, also known as the Whorfian question. A characteristic of this neo-Whorfian enterprise is that the knowledge it has generated stems from psycholinguistic laboratory methods. As a consequence, our knowledge about how Whorfian effects play out in naturally occurring behaviour (i.e., ‘in the wild’) is severely limited. The current study argues that the time is ripe to redeem this evidentiary bias, and advocates a multidisciplinary approach towards the Whorfian question, in which insights from laboratory settings are combined with naturalistic data in order to yield a rounded picture of the influence of language on thought. To showcase the potential of such an approach, the study uses laboratory-generated knowledge on the influence of grammatical categories on cognition to interpret two examples of naturalistic human interaction and action in the domains of spatial navigation and scientific practice.
CHARACTERIZATION OF ARSENIC TRIOXIDE NANOPARTICLES IN ULTRA- DILUTIONS OF ARSENICUM ALBUM AT 12C, 30C AND 200C STRENGTHS USING RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY TECHNIQUE

In recent researches, scientists have evidenced that Arsenic trioxide nanoparticles in prepared magnetic materials exhibited therapeutic effects and also explored the efficacy of Arsenic trioxide nanoparticles for the treatment of various disease conditions. Previous studies also show that the prepared ultra-dilutions of Arsenicum album generate nanoparticles which exhibit antimicrobial properties at nano-level. In Homoeopathic ultra-dilutions, the pharmacological actions can be illustrated by the affinity of generated nanoparticles to the target organs. This was scientifically proven through various methods such as spectroscopic, conductometric, thermoluminescence and model simulations. This study aims at characterizing ultra-dilutions of Arsenicum album in three different strengths, namely, 12C, 30C and 200C, using Raman spectroscopy technique. The prepared samples are characterized using EzRaman-N-Analyzer system. Various scattering profiles obtained by the Raman analysis of ultra-dilutions of Arsenicum Album in three different strengths suggest that the number of molecules acting as Raman scattering points increase with serial dilution. The study conclude that ultra-dilutions of Arsenicum Album possess unique characteristics exhibiting their uniqueness at nanoscale in three different scales in unique fashion which can be ascribed to their unique physical and chemical properties arising due to the process of potentization, evident from the results obtained from Raman spectroscopy.
TLHEL: An Enhanced Stacking based Heterogeneous Ensembling Technique for Software Fault Prediction

Software systems are becoming popular day-by-day because of its usefulness in human’s life. With the huge availability of storage space, the internet and the internet of things made software more complex. So, it is very challenging to maintain the quality of complex software’s. Software fault prediction makes it possible by predictingfaults before its occurrence. Uncover software faults before delivering it to the customers saves the time, effort, cost as well as improve goodwill of the company.Lots of research work has been done on it but none of the study focus on considering those faults that remains undetected because of their minority. So, the motive of this study was to focus on those minor but diverse faults if undetected become the primary cause of failure. These diverse faults can be detected by using diverse classifiers. So, in this research work, we propose aTLHEL: Two-layer heterogeneous ensemble learning approach with enhanced stacking. In this framework we use diverse base classifiers and combined using enhanced stacking based on cross validation. This approach is implemented on fault dataset retrieved from GitHub and promise data repository. The empirical results show that an enhanced stacking based heterogeneous ensembling approachoutperforms the existing heterogeneous models .
IN-VITRO ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF LEAF, STEM BARK AND ROOT EXTRACTS OF Irvingia gabonensis AGAINST FUNGI ASSOCIATED WITH ITS SEED DETERIORATION *Gbadamosi, I. T., Obanubi O. T. and Sobowale, A. A

Irvingia gabonensis (Aubry-Lecomte ex O'Rorke) Baill seeds are often contaminated in storage by postharvest spoilage fungi. This study investigated the nutritional contents of the seeds, phytochemical contents and antioxidant activity of different parts of the plant as well as their antifungal effects against fungi isolated from the deteriorated seeds. Proximate, mineral and phytochemical analyses were carried out using standard laboratory techniques. The antioxidant activity was against DPPH radicals. Ethanol extracts (100 and 200 mg/ml) of the various parts were screened against the isolates using pour plate method in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) plates. The plates were examined for growth daily for 10 days. Data were statistically analysed. The healthy seeds contained higher protein (13.73%), fat (58.73%) and fibre (2.50%), whereas, higher content of moisture (10.17%) and carbohydrate (15.47%) were observed in the spoilt seeds. The leaf had highest contents of alkaloids (1228.3 mg/100 g), flavonoids (1345.9 mg/100 g), tannins (1345.9 mg/100 g), saponins (578.3 mg/100 g) and carotenoids (2348.3 μg/100 g). The antioxidant activity of the leaf (50.30%) was the highest. Fungi isolated from the deteriorated seeds were Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus and Curvilaria lunata. The leaf was most effective against A. niger, A. flavus and C. lunata whereas the stem bark extract was most effective against A. fumigatus. The F-values were significant for model, treatment, concentration and number of days for the leaf and root. This study confirmed the antifungal activity of extracts of various parts of the plant against isolates implicated in the deterioration of its seeds. The extracts could be used as preservative to enhance the shelf-life and nutritional quality of the seeds.

Measurement of Urea, Creatinine and Blood Complete Blood Count for Patients with Diabetes Type 2 in Fallujah City/ Anbar Province

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder that leads to an increase in the level of blood sugar as a result of many factors due to insulin resistance or deficiency, which leads to high levels of glucose in the blood so that it contributes to affecting the body’s organs and functions and thus infecting them with various diseases. This study has aimed to measure kidney function and some blood functions in the serum of people with diabetes type 2 and to compare the values of the variables with those of healthy controls. This study has included (48) participants (27 males and 21 females as samples), divided into two groups (experimental and control). The results showed that in the group of patients there was an increase in the rate of fasting blood sugar concentration FBS, cumulative sugar HbA1c and Urea, while the levels of S. Creatinine were normal. The statistical analysis through the correlation relationship between the two groups of patients and the control showed that the variables were significant. Moreover, the results showed a significant increase in the concentration of fasting blood sugar, cumulative sugar, urea and creatinine in the blood of patients with diabetes type 2 compared to the control group due to metabolic disorder and insulin resistance. The results also showed a significant increase in the rate of white blood cells, lymphocytes, red blood cells and hemoglobin for their defensive and immune functions against foreign bodies and pathogens, while the granular white blood cells and the volume of compacted blood cells and platelets decreased due to diabetes, which leads to various diseases.

Low-cost encoding of IEEE 802.11n

A low-cost encoder for the 802.1 In standard is presented. Recent standards such as 802.16e or 802.1 In include a special parity check matrix structure that allows efficient encoding and decoding. However, the hardware requirements for implementation with fully parallel architectures could be high. Described is a way of encoding low density parity check (LDPC) codes, with parity check matrices under the schemes used in the 802.1 In or 802.16e standards, in a serial way. Exploiting the special topology of these standards' parity matrix, the encoder proposed requires about 12 times less hardware than a fully parallel one, while only increasing the time between input frames by about three times.
