Accurate fast modelling for real base station antennas using gain patterns via spherical modes

A new approach based on the superposition of sub-antennas radiating characteristics is used to get accurate models of real base station antennas. The sub-antennas are modelled by solving an over determined matrix equation using a least squares procedure. This process allows determining the gain of the sub-antennas while their fields are calculated analytically. The superposition of the fields of the sub-antennas gives the field of the studied base station antenna, which can then be used to assess the human exposure to the electromagnetic fields emitted by the base station antennas of mobile networks.

Utilization of Popcorn for Gluten Free Cake and Cookies Manufacturing

Nowadays, the main task of food producers is to make new tasty gluten-free products with an elevated nutritive value to enrich the menu of celiac patients. One of such products could be sweets, such as cake and cookies. Therefore, unpuffing popcorn flour (raw popcorn flour RPF), puffing popcorn corn flour (PPF) and a mixture (1:1) from them, in addition to corn flour as a control sample, were used to prepare gluten-free cake and cookies formulas. The lowest amylose content (19.81 %) of corn flour followed by raw popcorn flour (22.97%) and popped popcorn (24.95 %). Gluten free cake prepared from popped popcorn (PPF) recorded the highest volume (395 cm), weight (201.51 g), height (6.63 cm) and specific volume (2.22 cm/g), while gluten free cake prepared from PPF had the lowest values which were 367.33 cm3, 185.42 g, 4.75 cm and 1.94 cm/g, respectively. The highest Fracturability was recorded in the control (65.25 N) while the lowest value (53.48 N ) was recorded in PPF cookies. Thus, the higher cake expansion and in turn higher specific volume would be an expected product of popping process. The lowest rate of Hardness values was noticed after storage period (5 days) in PPF cake samples. Rate of chewiness, gumminess and resilience also were the lowest values in PPF cake samples. Generally, PPF based cookies (cake prepared from popped popcorn) were more acceptable as it had the highest overall acceptability sensory attributes in both prepared cake and cookies.

The role of knowledge integration in innovation and capability development

Purpose This paper investigates the interrelationships between knowledge integration (KI), product innovation and capability development to enhance our understanding of how firms can develop capability at the firm level, which in turn enhances their performance. One of the critical underlying mechanisms for capability building identified in the literature is the role of knowledge integration, which operates within product innovation projects and contributes to dynamic capability development. Therefore, the main research question is “how does the integration of knowledge across product innovation projects lead to the development of capability? ” Design/methodology/approach We adopted a case-based approach and investigated the case of a successful firm that was able to sustain its performance through a series of product innovation projects. In particular this research focused on the role of KI and firm-level capability development over the course of four projects, during which the firm successfully managed the transformation of its product base and renewal of its competitive advantage. For this purpose an in-depth case study of capability development was undertaken at the Iran Khodro Company (IKCO), the key player in the Iranian auto industry transformation. Originality/value This research revealed that along with changes at each level of product architecture “design knowledge” and “design capability” have been developed at the same level of product architecture, leading to capability development at that level. It can be argued that along the step by step maturation of radical innovation across the four case projects, architectural knowledge and capability have been developed at the case company, resulting in the gradual emergence of a modular product and capability architecture across different levels of product architecture. Such findings basically add to extensive emphasis in the literature on the interrelationship of the concept of modularity with knowledge management and capability development. Practical implications Findings of this study indicate that firms manage their knowledge in accordance with the level of specialization in knowledge and capability. Furthermore, firms design appropriate knowledge integration mechanisms within and among functions in order dynamically align knowledge processes at different levels of the product architecture. Accordingly, the outcomes of this study may guide practitioners in managing their knowledge processes, through dynamically employing knowledge integration modes step-by-step and from the part level to the architectural level of product architecture across a sequence of product innovation projects to encourage learning and radical innovation.
EFFECTS OF WALL PLANE TOPOLOGY ON VORTEX-WALL INTERACTIONS IN A FORCED IMPINGING JET

The phenomenon of a three-dimensionally unstable vortex-ground interaction is studied, motivated by the problem of sediment suspension by vortex-wall interactions from landing rotorcraft. In the current work, the downwash of a rotorcraft is simplified using a prototype flow consisting of an acoustically forced impinging jet. The goal of the current investigation is to quantify the effects of disturbances to the ground-plane boundary layer on the three-dimensional development of the vortex ring as it interacts with the ground plane. A small radial fence is employed to perturb the natural evolution of the secondary vortex, which typically exhibits azimuthal instabilities as it is wrapped around the primary vortex. The fence is observed to localize and intensify the azimuthal development, dramatically altering the mean flow in this region and generating corresponding azimuthal variations in the turbulent near-wall stresses. Multi-plane ensemble-averaged stereo PIV is employed to obtain volumetric, phase-averaged data that are subjected to a triple decomposition to quantify the unsteady behavior resulting from the coherent and stochastic fluctuations of the impinging structures. The effects of the radial fence are examined at both a high and low Reynolds number flows (Re = 50,000 and 10,000, respectively (Γ/ν)), and the data is analyzed in the context of structures leading to significant sediment mobilization

Learning and Using Taxonomies for Visual and Olfactory Classification

Humans are able of distinguishing more than 5000 visual categories even in complex environments using a variety of different visual systems all working in tandem. We seem to be capable of distinguishing thousands of different odors as well. In the machine learning community, many commonly used multi-class classifiers do not scale well to such large numbers of categories. This thesis demonstrates a method of automatically creating application-specific taxonomies to aid in scaling classification algorithms to more than 100 cate- gories using both visual and olfactory data. The visual data consists of images collected online and pollen slides scanned under a microscope. The olfactory data was acquired by constructing a small portable sniffing apparatus which draws air over 10 carbon black polymer composite sensors. We investigate performance when classifying 256 visual categories, 8 or more species of pollen and 130 olfactory categories sampled from common household items and a standardized scratch-and-sniff test. Taxonomies are employed in a divide-and-conquer classification framework which improves classification time while allowing the end user to trade performance for specificity as needed. Before classification can even take place, the pollen counter and electronic nose must filter out a high volume of background “clutter” to detect the categories of interest. In the case of pollen this is done with an efficient cascade of classifiers that rule out most non-pollen before invoking slower multi-class classifiers. In the case of the electronic nose, much of the extraneous noise encountered in outdoor environments can be filtered using a sniffing strategy which preferentially samples the visensor response at frequencies that are relatively immune to background contributions from ambient water vapor. This combination of efficient background rejection with scalable classification algorithms is tested in detail for three separate projects: 1) the Caltech-256 Image Dataset, 2) the Caltech Automated Pollen Identification and Counting System (CAPICS) and 3) a portable electronic nose specially constructed for outdoor use.
A compact 4 × 4 butler matrix on double‐layer substrate

A novel 4 × 4 Butler matrix (BM) on double‐layer substrate is presented. The design of the multilayered BM configuration successfully removes the need for a crossover component by utilizing a double‐layer substrate structure. With the elimination of the crossover, space consumption by the microwave circuit of the BM is reduced significantly. The BM is developed by means of four proposed 3‐dB compact couplers using dual transmission lines on a double‐layer substrate and two 45° phase shifters. The proposed BM components are designed using CST Microwave Studio 2010 and fabricated using inexpensive FR‐4 substrate to operate at 2.45 GHz. The simulated and measured performances in terms of S‐parameters and phase differences for each 3 dB coupler, 45° phase shifter, and BM are presented. Good agreement in beam direction results between the MATLAB (matrix laboratory) simulator and measurement is accomplished with a deviation of ±8°. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

THE YOUNG DRIVER PROBLEM VERSUS THE YOUNG DRIVER PROBLEM DRIVER: A REVIEW AND CRASH DATA ANALYSIS.

The concept of a young problem driver sub-group, that is, a sub-group who operate at a (substantially) higher than average crash risk and therefore contribute disproportionately to young driver crashes is often proposed. This report presents a literature review and mass crash data analyses and proposes a conceptual framework comprising crash risk, crash frequencies, crash countermeasures and countermeasure priorities to assist (policy) discussion of this issue. On the basis of information presented, it was concluded that action designed to focus specific attention on young problem drivers should be accorded low priority relative to the development and implementation of other young driver safety initiatives.
Exposure and use of digital media among under-five children

Background: The use of digital media, such as television, smart phones, tablets, iPod has become a significant part of children’s lives. Children's exposure to digital media is increasing, as are concerns about the impact that screen time has on children and families. The study evaluates the exposure and use of digital media among under five children.Methods: The study was conducted among mothers of under-five children attending Paediatric outpatient department of a hospital. The sample included 150 mothers of under-five children. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on selected demographic variables. A modified rating scale was used to elicit data regarding the exposure and use of digital media among under-five children.Results: Around half of children were exposed to smartphones between 1-2 years of age. During infancy around forty percent of children were exposed to smart phones. More than half the mothers used mobile devices while doing household chores. A higher proportion of under five children had increased screen time and large proportion (65.3%) of under-five children had high levels of exposure to digital media.Conclusions: A significant number of under five children were using the digital media and screen time exposure exceeded than that of recommended limit.

Aerodynamic Losses of a Cambered Turbine Vane: Influences of Surface Roughness and Freestream Turbulence Intensity

The effects of surface roughness and freestream turbulence level on the aerodynamic performance of a turbine vane are experimentally investigated. Wake profiles are measured with three different freestream turbulence intensity levels (1.1%, 5.4% and 7.7%) at two different locations downstream of the test vane trailing edge (one and 0.25 axial chord lengths). Chord Reynolds number based on exit flow conditions is 0.9 × 106 . The Mach number distribution and the test vane configuration both match arrangements employed in an industrial application. Four cambered vanes with different surface roughness levels are employed in this study. Effects of surface roughness on the vane pressure side on the profile losses are relatively small compared with suction side roughness. Overall effects of turbulence on local wake deficits of total pressure, Mach number, and kinetic energy are almost negligible in most parts of the wake produced by the smooth test vane, except that higher freestream losses are present at higher turbulence intensity levels. Profiles produced by test vanes with rough surfaces show apparent lower peak values in the center of the wake. Integrated Aerodynamic Losses (IAL) and area-averaged loss coefficient YA are also presented and compared with results from other research groups.Copyright © 2005 by ASME
