Acceptability of Electric Vehicles: Findings from a driver survey

Plug-in Electric Vehicles (EV) offer a clean and cost effective means in the long run of driving short to medium distances within the city, even with the current high purchase cost. In Australia EV may be attractive as a second car in the multicar household. The acceptance of EV requires a change in behaviour n instead of re-fuelling, this vehicle requires battery charging each 140-160km, either at home or at specialised charging stations. A limited number of EVs are being driven in Perth as part of the Western Australia Electric Vehicle trial (WA EV trial). The trial monitors the performance, benefits, infrastructure and practical implications of EV fleet. This paper explores the opinions and experiences of 43 of the participants. Factor analysis and multiple regression are applied to identify the main motivators and barriers in purchasing and using an EV. Ninety per cent of respondents are confident about driving the EV; more than 45 per cent take trips of more than 30km. While zero tailpipe emissions is the most desirable feature of EV, followed closely by home charging, the limited range of the vehicle is regarded as the most serious barrier to EV uptake. The overall satisfaction with the EV performance is high (an average score of 3.96 out of 5), although 13 participants experienced at least one technical difficulty, when driving the EVs in the trial. Two latent constructs reflecting environmental concerns, and technology learning, along with EV benefits and technical difficulties experienced while driving an EV explain 59.2 per cent of the variability of the willingness to purchase an EV as the next vehicle.
Numerical Model of Towing Line in Sea Transport

Towing as a specific type of sea transport is often used for installing objects for drilling and exploitation of underwater gas and oil wells. Also, towing proved to be a cost-effective solution for the installation of the offshore wind turbine electric generators at sea locations. Because of the mass of these objects the need for towing increases progressively. Time domain numerical model for the wave-induced motions of a towed ship and the towline tension in regular head seas is presented in this paper. For the sake of simplicity, one end of the towing line is attached to ship’s bow and another end has prescribed straight line motion. All considerations are done in the vertical plane so the ship is modeled as a rigid body with three degrees of freedom. Hydrodynamic loadings due to waves are taken into account along with added mass and damping. Dynamics of the towing line is described by finite elements. Due to the nonlinear properties of the problem calculations are done in time domain. Comparison of the obtained numerical results is made with previously published results.Copyright © 2014 by ASME
Review of Relationships Between Steering Wheel Reversal Rate and Driving Task Demand

Previous literature and some new data on the relationship between steering wheel reversal rate (SRR) and driving task demand are discussed in terms of a set of theoretical assumptions proposed by Macdonald and Hoffmann (1978). SRR is generally expected to increase with increasing task demand; however, several recent studies found a significant decrease in SRR. It is argued that whether the relationship is positive or negative depends on the level of task difficulty relative to the driver's capacity to cope with it.
Probiotics Supplementation Alleviate Corticosterone-induced Fatty Liver Disease Related With the Changes of Hepatic Lipogenesis and Gut Microbiota Profile in Broiler

Background:Emerging evidencesindicate a close relationship between gut microbiotaand fatty liver disease.It has been suggested that gut microbiota modulation with probiotics improved fatty liver disease in rodents and human, yet it still remains unclear in poultry.Results: Ninety six one-day-old green-legged chicken were divided into control group (CON) and probiotic group (PB), respectively. Probiotics were administrated throughdrinking water for two weeks from 1-day-old. At 28 d of age,16 broilers selectedfromCON or PB group randomly, and receivedvehicle(15% ethanol) or CORT(4.0 mg/kg)treatmentdaily viasubcutaneous injection for a week to induce fatty liver. At the end of the experiment, broilers from 4 groups,control group(CON), corticosterone group (CORT), probiotic group (PB), PB plusCORT group(CORT&PB),were slaughtered for sampling and analysis.The results showed that probiotics administration significantly prevented CORT-induced body weight loss(P<0.05), but did not alleviate the reduction of immune organs weight caused by CORT. Compared to CON,broilers in CORT group exhibited a significant increase of triglyceride (TG) levelin both plasma and liver(P< 0.01), as well as severe hepatocytic steatosis and hepatocellular ballooning, and accompanied with the up-regulation of hepatic lipogenesis genes expression. However, probiotics supplementation markedly decreased the intrahepatic lipid accumulation and steatosis histological score, which was associated withthedown-regulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP1) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) mRNA (P< 0.05)as well as it protein (P= 0.06) expression.Cecal microbiota composition was determined by 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. Results showed that CORT treatment induced distinct gut microbiota alterations with a decrease of microbial diversity, and anincrease of proteobacteriaabundance (P<0.05). On the contrary, probiotic supplementation increased the beta diversity and increased community richness and diversity index(P> 0.05), as well as the abundance of Intestinimonas(P<0.05). Conclusion: Our results indicate that CORT treatment induced serious fatty liver disease and altered the gut microbiota composition in broilers, however,probiotics supplementation from post-hatching had a beneficial effect on alleviatingfatty liver disease through regulating lipogenic genes expression and increasing gut microbiota diversity andbeneficial bacteria abundanceimbalance.

Thus, organizations can concentrate on essentials things such as the quality of work and organizations outcome.
Robotics and Intelligent Sensors 2012 ( IRIS 2012 ) Capability Assessment of Finite Element Software in Predicting the Last Ply Failure of Composite Laminates

Finite element programming using language such as FORTRAN, C++ and MATLAB has been the common and traditional tool to perform the progressive failure analysis of composite structures. This procedure requires high programming skills and strong mathematical understanding. This paper for the first time assesses the capability of a commercially available finite element analysis (FEA) software, ANSYS, to perform the Last Ply Failure (LPF) analysis of a laminated composite plate. The analysis is carried out by employing Maximum Stress and Tsai-Wu failure criteria. It is modelled and performed using ANSYS software which has a feature that supports the failure criteria and analysis procedure. The feature allows determination of maximum strength on individual layers in a composite laminate, thus provide an easier way to predict the failure progression. Based on analysis, the ultimate failure load and failure curves (LPF) are determined. The failure curves are compared and discussed with respect to previous experimental and FEA (both LPF and FPF) works. The results show that the LPF curves are very close to experiment that exhibits average errors as low as 16 %. Finally, it can be concluded that the ANSYS software is applicable in predicting an accurate composite laminate LPF. © 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Multi-tissue transcriptome analysis using hybrid-seq revealed potential genes and biological pathways associated with azadirachtin A biosynthesis in neem (Azadirachtin indica)

Background: Azadirachtin A is a triterpenoid from neem tree exhibiting excellent activities against over 600 insect species in agriculture. The manufacture of azadirachtin A depends on extraction from neem tissues, which is not ecofriendly and sustainable. The low yield and discontinuous supply impeded the further application. The biosynthetic pathway of azadirachtin A is still unknown. Results: We attempted to explore azadirachtin A biosynthetic pathway and identified key involved genes by analyzing transcriptome data of five neem tissues through hybrid-seq (Illumina HiSeq and Pacific Biosciences Single Molecule Real Time (PacBio SMRT)) approach. Candidates were firstly screened by comparing expression level within five tissues. After phylogenetic analysis, domain prediction and molecular docking, 22 candidates encoding 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), cytochrome P450 (CYP450), acyltransferase (ACT) and esterase (EST) were proposed to be potential genes involved in azadirachtin A biosynthesis. Among them, two unigenes encoding homolog of MaOCS1 and MaCYP71CD2 were identified. An unigene encoding complete homolog of MaCYP71BQ5 was first reported. Accuracy of the assemblies were verified by Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) and full-length cloning PCR. Conclusions: By integrating and analysis transcriptome data from hybrid-seq technology, 22 DEGs were finally selected as candidates involved in azadirachtin A pathway. The obtained reliable and accurate sequencing data provided important novel information for understanding neem genome. Our data shed new light on the understanding of other triterpenoids biosynthesis in neem trees and provide reference for exploring other valuable natural product biosynthesis in plants.

Transient Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Hip Joint Implants

A general transient elastohydrodynamic lubrication model was developed for artificial hip joint implants, particularly in which the three-dimensional time-dependent physiological load and motion components experienced during walking conditions were considered in the theoretical formulation, although only a predominantly vertical load combined with a flexion-extension motion was actually solved. A nominal ball-in-socket configuration was adopted to represent the articulation between the femoral head and the acetabular cup in both simplified and anatomical positions. An appropriate spherical coordinate system and the corresponding mesh grids were used in the general transient lubrication model. Additionally, an equivalent discrete spherical convolution model and the corresponding spherical fast Fourier transform technique were employed to facilitate the evaluation of elastic deformation of spherical bearing surfaces in hip joint implants. The general lubrication model was subsequently applied to investigate the transient lubrication performance of a typical metal-on-metal hip joint implant. The effects of both cup inclination angles in either anatomical or horizontally simplified positions and different lubricant viscosities on the transient elastohydrodynamic lubrication were analyzed under the predominant components of vertically dynamic loading and flexion-extension motion. It was found that the general lubrication model and the numerical methodology were efficient for the transient elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis during walking condition in hip joint implants. Furthermore, the significant effect of squeeze-film action on maintaining and enhancing the total thin film thickness formation was discussed for the transient lubrication study of the typical hip joint implant.

Bioanalytical tools: half a century of application for potable reuse

In vitro bioassays, more recently referred to as “bioanalytical tools” in an attempt to emphasize their analytical purpose rather than the uncertain relation to adverse health outcomes, are often thought of as novel tools by water stakeholders. They have, however, been used for over half a century in assessment of recycled water quality. Today, millions of chemicals and formulations are available for commercial use and most have a high propensity to enter sewage collection systems. However, traditional health risk assessment methods involving animal testing at high doses and extrapolation to environmental relevant levels are vastly overwhelmed in capacity by the innumerable chemicals and transformation products potentially present in waters. Beyond the sheer number of chemicals, the interactions of these chemicals as complex mixtures is largely unaddressed in traditional regulatory schemes. Moreover, non-human animal models are often misleading due to differences in metabolism and associated pharmacokinetics. Thus, water professionals continue to struggle with ever increasing numbers of chemicals detected at trace levels in water and the potential interactions of these chemicals during mixture exposures. Bioanalytical tools offer a path forward towards more comprehensive chemical evaluations of water, which can provide greater public confidence in the ability of potable reuse schemes to produce clean and safe drinking water.
Minimizing User Search Time in Menu Retrieval Systems

The optimal structuring of menu indexes in computerized information retrieval is examined. The number of alternatives per page that minimizes search time is determined as a function of the human and machine factors of search strategy, scanning time, key-press time, and computer response time. For a wide range of conditions, the optimal number of alternatives per page is in the range of from four to eight, with limiting integer values of three and four for exhaustive and self-terminating search, respectively.
Planning and learning under uncertainty

Automated Planning is the component of Artificial Intelligence that studies the computational process of synthesizing sets of actions whose execution achieves some given objectives. Research on Automated Planning has traditionally focused on solving theoretical problems in controlled environments. In such environments both, the current state of the environment and the outcome of actions, are completely known. The development of real planning applications during the last decade (planning fire extinction operations (Castillo et al., 2006), planning spacecraft activities (Nayak et al., 1999), planning emergency evacuation actions (Munoz-Avila et al., 1999)) has evidenced that these two assumptions are not true in many real-world problems. The planning research community is aware of this issue and during the last years, it has multiplied its efforts to find new planning systems able to address these kinds of problems. All these efforts have created a new field in Automated Planning called planning under uncertainty. Nevertheless, the new systems suffer from two limitations. (1) They precise accurate action models, though the definition by hand of accurate action models is frequently very complex. (2) They present scalability problems due to the combinatorial explosion implied by the expressiveness of its action models. This thesis defines a new planning paradigm for building, in an efficient and scalable way, robust plans in domains with uncertainty though the action model is incomplete. The thesis is that, the integration of relational machine learning techniques with the planning and execution processes, allows to develop planning systems that automatically enrich their initial knowledge about the environment and therefore find more robust plans. An empirical evaluation illustrates these benefits in comparison with state-of-the-art probabilistic planners which use static actions models.
Determination of mask layer stress by placement metrology

The present paper will show an approach for a local and global stress determination by the application of a Leica LMS IPRO II mask registration tool. Changes in placement due to a full or partial layer removal on single materials as well as material stacks with respect to a reference grid were determined. Simulation using finite element modeling was conducted to calculate stress values from the placement information. Finally, an estimate was made of the acceptable stress level for a sample design to meet placement requirements for future lithography nodes.
Knowledge and Awareness Regarding Bruxism and its Management in Dakshina Kannada Population

Bruxism is defined as a ‘repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible’ with ‘two distinct circadian manifestations; either occurring during sleep (sleep bruxism) or during wakefulness (awake bruxism). ’ Bruxism may lead to masticatory muscle hypertrophy, tooth surface loss, fracture of restorations or teeth, hypersensitive or painful teeth and loss of periodontal support. A sample of 100 patients were selected for a questionnaire study to assess the knowledge ad awareness regarding bruxism and its management. The results showed that there was an overall lack of awareness in the population. Knowledge and awareness should thus be provided to the population to ascertain early treatment and less discomfort to the patients having signs and symptoms of bruxism.
Topological Optimization of Beam Cross Section by Employing Extrusion Constraint

Optimal cross‐section design of beams plays a characteristic role which signifies the rigidity of the member in bending, shear and torsion load conditions. Practically modern overhead crane girders, railway bridge girders or rail tracks etc. require constant cross‐section along the axial direction. Conventional topological optimization modeling procedures in such cases prove inadequate for the reason that these procedures generate non‐uniform topologies along the axis of the bending member. To examine optimal topology of those structural bending members which commonly possess constant cross‐section along the axis the topology optimization with extrusion constraint is more appropriate. The extrusion constraint method suggests a fresh approach to investigate optimal topologies of beam cross‐section under the influence of realistic loading condition across the section at the beginning of design cycle. Presented study is focused upon the influence of various configuration and location of the load and boundary.
