Substrates and dimension dependence of MEMS inductors

In this work, the effects of metal dimension and substrates on the characteristics of MEMS inductors have been studied. The suspended spiral inductors were fabricated by MEMS technologies with microelectroplating and thick film photolithography. The inductors were suspended by 20 µm over the substrate to reduce the substrate coupling loss and designed a 10 µm thick metal layer to reduce the ohmic loss. We also characterized the properties of inductors according to the substrates, the size of gap between the inductor metal lines and the width of the inductor metal lines. The measured quality factor of inductors fabricated on a silicon substrate was over 20 at 2 GHz. The inductors were also fabricated and measured on various substrates such as high resistive silicon, glass and quartz wafers. The quality factor of the inductor fabricated on the glass substrate was almost 30 at 4 GHz and that of the inductor fabricated on the quartz wafer was over 40 at the same frequency region. Substrate resistance and the dimension of metal are factors important to the inductor performance.

Field and laboratory assessments of the friction coefficient at a railhead

The aim of this work was to prove that the oil applied to the wheel flange using on-board lubricators not only alters the friction coefficient between wheel and rail but also influences the braking and acceleration performance of trains on one of the lines of the metro in Mexico City. A series of tests were carried out in the presence of an oil lubricant, both in the laboratory and in the field, using a pendulum tester. It was observed that the oil migrated from the rail corner to the top of the rail. In another set of experiments, water was sprayed onto the lubricant on the top of the rail. The results indicated that under these conditions, the friction coefficient has a low value in rail sections where a high value of the friction coefficient is required. Tests with water/oil mixtures presented similar levels of friction to the oil-only tests. A set of tests were performed after the rail surface was cleaned and the oil lubricant and water were applied together. The laboratory and field tests showed similar behaviour trends for the friction coefficient. The pendulum method can be used to assess railhead friction on short-length sections of rail. Points are made regarding the conditioning of the pads and calibration of the pendulum arm.
Features of orality in the language of fiction: A corpus-based investigation

This paper explores the pervasiveness of features of orality in the language of performed fiction. Features of orality are typical of spontaneous spoken conversations where they are the result of the ongoing planning process and the interaction between the interlocutors, but they also occur in the context of performed fiction (movies and plays) and in narrative fiction (e.g. novels). In these contexts, they are not the result of the spontaneous planning process but are generally produced to imitate such processes. In this paper, I explore a small range of such features (contractions, interjections, discourse markers, response forms and hesitators) in four corpora of performed fiction that have recently become available (Corpus of American Soap Operas, TV Corpus, Movies Corpus and Sydney Corpus of Television Dialogue) and compare their frequency patterns with spontaneous face-to-face conversations in the Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English and with narrative fiction and academic writing in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). The results confirm that the selected features of orality are used regularly in performed fiction but less frequently than in spontaneous face-to-face interactions while they are rare in narrative fiction and almost entirely absent in academic writing. The results also show that the status of the transcriptions contained in these corpora needs to be assessed very carefully if they are to be used for a study of pragmatic features.

The PCL-R, PAI, and Rorschach as Predictors of Institutional Misconduct with Incarcerated Women

Abstract Managing the incarcerated population is the primary task within correctional settings. Using psychological assessment to predict institutional behavior, the psychologist has a unique set of skills essential to the management of prisoners. PCL-R, PAI, and Rorschach data were compared with institutional infractions (total, physical, verbal, non-aggressive) among 126 incarcerated women. Multiple binary logistic regression analyses were used which found significant correlations between PCL-R total score, PAI scales (BOR, ANT, VPI), and Rorschach variables (ROD, EGOI, TCI, AgPot, AgPast, SumV, SumC’, MOR) with total, verbal, physical, and nonviolent incident reports. Each of these measures adds incrementally to the assessment and understanding of institutional misbehavior for incarcerated women. Clinical implications of the findings were presented.
Towards capturing a database of respiratory exhalations from flow visualisations

One of the most common modes of infection transmission is through pathogen laden droplets expelled during natural human respiratory exhalations such as speaking, coughing, and sneezing. Infection control guidelines for the prevention of respiratory infection make assumptions about two key parameters: the safe distance between an infected and healthy individual and the size of large and small droplets (Bahl et al., 2020). Studies in the past have utilised flow visualisation techniques to understand the dynamics of respiratory flows but most of them provide only qualitative data on respiratory droplets and do not provide sufficient detail to estimate accurate flow velocities (Bourouiba et al., 2014; Vansciver et al., 2011; Scharfman et al., 2016). One of the reasons this remains a demanding application is the vast range of droplet sizes that are expelled at various velocities. Here, we present an experimental framework using particle tracking to understand the flow dynamics of the expelled droplets. Three different illumination techniques were used to capture high-speed frames of different exhalations (see figure 1). The high density of droplets in case of sneezing lead to overlap of droplet trajectories with volume illumination approach, which was resolved using tailored optics to illuminate only a slice of sneeze flow. Thereafter, the image processing techniques required for precise PTV were refined to examine droplet dynamics of various exhalations (see figure 2). The techniques were applied to multiple cases of respiratory exhalations to understand subject to subject variability. The results for sneezing revealed a mean droplet velocity of 2 m/s to 5.4 m/s across different subjects. Additionally, less than 1% of droplets were expelled at velocities greater than 10 m/s and almost 80% of were expelled at velocities less than 5 m/s. These values were substantially lower than the values usually assumed in studies modelling or replicating sneezes (Xie et al., 2007; Atkinson and Wein, 2008). The results also revealed a high variation in the droplet dynamics, even among the sneezes from the same subject. Flow direction, spread angle, and head movement were also quantified, and the results reveal substantial variation between the subjects. In the case of coughing, maximum droplet velocities observed were in the range of 10−15 m/s however, these high velocities were detected only during the initial 0.05 s. This work addresses the critical gaps in the understanding of the respiratory transmission of infection by providing valuable data on the droplet dynamics of various exhalations, on which the experimental data was very limited in the existing literature. Furthermore, this data will aid in numerical modelling of respiratory flows, particularly for sneezes, as studies to date rely only on airflow data of the exhalations.
Do National Cultures Impact Mortgage and Financial Well-Being Levels? Evidence from Europe

This study explores the influence of national culture on mortgage and financial well-being levels in the European context. The paper employs regression analysis using mainly Hofstede's cultural dimensions and the EU-SILC dataset from Eurostat to provide a better understanding of the determinants of the decision to hold secured debts and a better explanation of the states of financial well-being. To the best of our knowledge, no study has addressed the influence of culture on mortgage and financial well-being levels in the European setting using samples from different countries and controlling for household characteristics. We conclude that power distance, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation are negatively associated with the likelihood of holding a mortgage. The results also show that masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long-term orientation, and indulgence are negatively associated with the amount of mortgage. Moreover, individualism and long-term orientation (power distance and uncertainty avoidance) are positively (negatively) associated with being in a state of financial well-being. Collectively, our research shows that national cultures play a crucial role in household finance.JEL Codes - D10; G40; G51
Integration of GIS and Data Mining Technology to Enhance the Pavement Management Decision Making

This paper presents a research effort undertaken to explore the applicability of data mining and knowledge discovery (DMKD) in combination with Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to pavement management to better decide maintenance strategies, set rehabilitation priorities, and make investment decisions. The main objective of the research is to utilize data mining techniques to find pertinent information hidden within the pavement database. Mining algorithm C5.0, including decision trees and association rules, has been used in this analysis. The selected rules have been used to predict the maintenance and rehabilitation strategy of road segments. A pavement database covering four counties within the state of North Carolina, which was provided by North Carolina DOT (NCDOT), has been used to test this method. A comparison was conducted in this paper for the decisions related to a rehabilitation strategy proposed by the NCDOT to the proposed methodology presented in this paper. From the experimental results, it was found that the rehabilitation strategy derived by this paper is different from that proposed by the NCDOT. After combining with the AIRA Data Mining method, seven final rules are defined. Using these final rules, the maps of several pavement rehabilitation strategies are created. When their numbers and locations are compared with ones made by engineers at the Institute for Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) at North Carolina State University, it has been found that error for the number and the location are various for the different rehabilitation strategies. With the pilot experiment in the project, it can be concluded: (1) use of the DMKD method for the decision of road maintenance and rehabilitation can greatly increase the speed of decision making, thus largely saving time and money, and shortening the project period; (2) the DMKD technology can make consistent decisions about road maintenance and rehabilitation if the road conditions are similar, i.e., interference from human factors is less significant; (3) integration of the DMKD and GIS technologies provides a pavement management system with the capabilities to graphically display treatment decisions against distresses; and (4) the decisions related to pavement rehabilitation made by the DMKD technology is not completely consistent with that made by ITRE, thereby, the postprocessing for verification and refinement is necessary.
Dynamic Shear and Axial-Load Failure of Reinforced Concrete Columns

Reinforced concrete columns with light transverse reinforcement may be susceptible to shear and subsequent axial-load failures during strong earthquake ground shaking. An experimental program examined the behavior of two half-scale, one-story frames with axial loads representative of those expected for the lower story of a multistory building. The frames were subjected to unidirectional simulated earthquake motion applied at the base. Shear failures of an interior column led to axial-load failure and redistribution of internal forces to adjacent framing components. Recorded data illustrated the details of the shear and axial failures and the redistribution to adjacent components. This paper discusses the global response of the frames and the shear and axial-load response of the shear-critical interior column.
A comparative investigation of electrothermal endurance models for insulating materials and systems characterization

Inference of ageing mechanisms becomes a very complex matter in insulations, where the presence of electrical field concentrations, temperature gradients, various insulating materials, inhomogeneities, etc., complicates tremendously any physical investigation. This paper focuses on recent developments in modeling insulation behavior under thermo-electrical stresses. In particular, a comparison between phenomenological and physical models, with the relevant limits and constraints, is presented. Moreover, a probabilistic approach, which may hold for materials and systems as well, is discussed, referring to both parametric and non-parametric models.
Evaluating Field Performance of Highly Sensitive Malaria RDT: Detection of Infection Among Febrile Patients, Asymptomatic Pregnant Women and Household Contacts in Mpigi, Uganda

BackgroundWorld Health Organisation recommends that malaria case management be based on parasite-based diagnosis in all cases, but currently available tools for clinical use have limitations, including the inability to detect low-level infections. Currently, next-generation highly sensitive rapid diagnostic tests (hsRDT) for Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) are commercially available, but require field-based validation. This study evaluated the performance of the highly sensitive NxTek™ Eliminate Malaria Pf (NxTek) diagnostic test in health facilities and community settings in Mpigi district, Uganda in comparison to the conventional rapid diagnostic tests (cRDTs). MethodsBetween April and December 2019, symptomatic and asymptomatic participants were randomly enrolled from the Outpatient Department (OPD), Antenatal Care (ANC), and community settings. The participants were tested with both cRDTs and an hsRDT to detect Plasmodium falciparum HRP2 antigen and quality assured results with PCR as a reference. Geo-coded real time data were transmitted by health facility and community-based providers using a smartphone with custom designed software.ResultsAt the OPD, the parasite positivity rate was 13.3% for HS-RDT, compared to 6.4% with cRDT. The HS-RDT detected twice the number of positives compared to cRDT. At ANC, 11% (384/3,490) of the pregnant women were malaria parasite positive. HS-RDT detected more positive cases (10.4%) than cRDT (7.0%). At the community setting, 79.7% (2,397/3,009) of the under-five age group were positive for malaria parasites. Index clients in households resulted in a detection of 21.1% (1,877) asymptomatic positive especially among school going children. Health workers were able to learn how to effectively perform the HS-RDT, from a one-day training session. The additional support supervision was provided for VHTs to enable all to transmit results through the android phones. ConclusionUse of HS-RDTs increased case findings of low parasite density infections compared to cRDTs in study populations and provides the opportunity to eliminate malaria reservoirs through treatments. There were minimal additional training requirements when the HS-RDT kits were introduced. The observed increased positivity rates among school-age children call for integrating targeted interventions into school health programs.
Dealing with disappointment: How can a ‘coexisting imperatives’ view help us understand the unfulfilled dialogical promise of digital media

The association between the concept of dialogue and the expansion of digital media in public relations started as a theoretical ‘promise’ and was later followed by a feeling of disappointment. This article argues that the dialogic promise of new media was in great measure a consequence of a well-established belief according to which the field was rapidly moving from a ‘functional’ to a ‘cocreational’ approach, whereas in fact both cocreational and functional imperatives persist and coexist in complex manners that need to be disentangled. This idea is explored through a critical analysis of highly cited literature about dialogue and digital technology in public relations. Implications for future theory-building, research and practice are discussed.
Promoting students’ metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes in science education

This research aimed to investigate the effect of project-based learning (PjBL), predict-observe-explain (POE), and predict-observe-explain based project (POEP) on metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes in biology learning. The research used a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The experiment was conducted from August to December 2020. The metacognitive awareness questionnaire was applied to measure students’ metacognitive awareness. Besides, an essay test was used to assess cognitive learning outcomes. Data collection in this study was carried out using Google Form, Google Classroom, Google Meet, and WhatsApp. Data analysis using statistical product and service solutions (SPSS) version 23 software. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) results analysis showed that PjBL, POE, and POEP affected students’ metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes in biology learning with a value of p<0.005. The least significant different (LSD) result was significantly different in improving students’ metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes. The POEP class gained the highest posttest score. Therefore, POEP could be applicable to improve students’ metacognitive awareness and cognitive learning outcomes in Biology learning.

Historical Study of Correlation between A-Level Grades and Subsequent

The subject of A-Level mathematics has attracted a great deal of political and academic controversy. Those who represent the academic community in Higher Education have argued for over a decade that the standards of A-Level mathematics have been declining and continue to do so. Elsewhere it has been argued that much of the decline perceived by those who teach in engineering and science departments is more likely to be attributed to the very substantial national decline in entry standards to engineering and science courses rather than any real change in A-Level standards. Using available statistics, a study of the electronics students at York set out to discover whether these questions could be answered and the results were published in a detailed paper [1] of which the following is a summary.
Comparative analysis of bacteriuria results on routine urinalysis and urine culture: a retrospective study

Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most frequent infectious diseases of small animals. Although antimicrobial therapy is recommended for treating bacterial UTIs, the current consensus is that treatment may not be necessary for asymptomatic animals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic ability of urinalysis to detect bacteriuria and to compare it with urine culture (gold standard method) to assess the risk of false-positive results. A retrospective study was conducted from January 2016 to July 2019 and urine samples of 119 dogs were analyzed. Diagnostic validation was performed for urinalysis, based on the morphological classification and intensity of bacteriuria. Agreement between the results was assessed using the kappa (k) index. When the presence of cocci was used as a diagnostic criterion to suggest bacteriuria, it was observed that the agreement (k = -0.006) was lower than that expected by chance. However, a poor agreement (k = 0.22) was also found for bacilli during urinalysis (k = 0.23). A significant degree of agreement was observed in cases with high intensity of bacteriuria. Therefore, urine culture must be performed for conclusive evidence of bacteriuria to avoid false-positive results during urinalysis.
