Numerical Simulations on the Cable Clamp of a Concave Cable Arch

The inner concave cable arch structure has been adopted in some engineering applications in recent years. Geometric configuration of the cable clamp joint and its anti-sliding performance is the key to assure the bearing capacity for this type of structure. In this study, nonlinear finite element analysis on the cable clamp joint of a concave cable arch is performed using ABAQUS, with influences of the friction coefficients and the nonlinearity of materials are investigated. The pretension loss of bolts caused by different tightening sequences is also discussed. It is found that nearly 9% of the initial pretension force for each bolt gets lost during the tightening process, and mutual influence of the bolts can be significantly weakened by applying reasonable tightening sequence.
A new control method of bearingless switched reluctance motors using square-wave currents

Bearingless switched reluctance motors have the combined characteristics of synchronous motors and magnetic bearings. Radial force production for rotor shaft magnetic suspension is explained with differential stator windings composed of the motor main windings and radial force windings. In this paper, a new control method with square-wave currents in the motor main windings is proposed. Under every condition, from no load to full load, stable operation is realized by opportunely controlling the advanced current phase angle /spl theta//sub m/, and the current pulse width /spl theta//sub m/ with the new control method. The rotational torque produced by the radial force winding currents is also considered in the new control method. It is shown in experimental results that a proposed method is very effective for stable operation at no load.
Identifying in-demand qualifications and competences for translation curriculum renewal: a content analysis of translation job ads

ABSTRACT Content analysis of job ads has been used to inform curriculum renewal in many disciplines, but it is not commonplace in Translation Studies. This paper aims to identify qualifications and competences in the translation market through content analysis of translation job ads in China. Four hundred and twenty-nine job ads were collected from the two largest and most popular job search portals in China and coded against a translator competence framework with the assistance of NVivo 11.0. The results suggest that, while prior experience is underscored by employers, a specialised degree in translation, certified status and high-level education are not sought by employers. The most in-demand competences are linguistic competence in working languages, psycho-physiological competence, interpersonal competence, extra-linguistic knowledge, and instrumental competence. Implications are discussed in terms of promotion and marketing, incorporation of field-based experience into classroom learning, pedagogical innovation, curriculum renewal, and admission interviews. This study may inform the evaluation and modification of the translation curriculum for better education and market alignment and guide students in professional development and lifelong learning.
The integration and efficiency of BRICS and Pakistan stock markets: An analysis using asymmetric cointegration and MF-DFA approaches

This study examines the asymmetric cointegration and efficiency between Pakistan and BRICS equity markets using monthly data from October 1997 to September 2018. The results reveal that the Brazilian stock market is the most efficient during the global financial crisis. Threshold and momentum threshold autoregressive models (TAR and M.TAR) confirm the presence of a long-run relationship between BRICS and Pakistan stock markets, where the speed of negative shocks is higher and significant for Pakistan Russian, Pakistan South Africa stock market pair. This infers quick adjustment of stock prices to negative shocks (bad news) as compared to positive shocks (good news). The speed of adjustment of positive shocks for Pakistan China is higher. The results of asymmetric error correction model (AECM) show results of unidirectional causality between Pakistan China and Pakistan Brazil stock market pairs, while bidirectional causality runs from Pakistan Russia, Pakistan India, and Pakistan South Africa stock market pairs. Thus the Pakistan stock market has short-run and long-run relationships with most other stock markets. Multi-fractal detrended fluctuation analysis supports long run efficiency of Brazilian markets during the global financial crisis. It suggests that investors pay keen attention to the Pakistan stock market when investing in BRICS stock market.
Concerns of Quality and Reliability of Educational Videos Focused on Frailty Syndrome on YouTube Platform

(1) Background: Evaluation of the quality and reliability of the frailty syndrome videos available on YouTube platform was the aim of this study. (2) Methods: The observational study included 75 videos retrieved by searching seven terms related to frailty syndrome on YouTube. The quality and reliability of the videos were measured using three different tools: quality criteria for consumer health information (DISCERN), the Global Quality Score (GQS), and the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA). The video content was categorized according to the following characteristics: video provider, duration, view count, average daily views of the video, average daily views of a channel, channel subscribers, number of days since upload date, likes, dislikes, comments, the external webpages linked to the videos. (3) Results: The videos had a mean duration of 375 s and an average number of views of 1114. The quality of 17 videos assessed in the study was found to be high, 48—intermediate, and 10—low. The high-quality videos had the longest duration, the highest number of views, and points for the DISCERN score. The physician uploaders had the highest mean DISCERN and mean GQS scores, the highest number of views, and the longest duration but the hospital channels had the highest JAMA score. (4) Conclusions: YouTube can be a valuable source of medical information for patients and caregivers. The quality of videos mostly depends on the authorship and the source of video providers—physicians, academic, and health care-related organizations provide the best quality content based on professional medical knowledge.
Indirect aggression, anxiety, and empathy: Disaggregating between and within person longitudinal associations during childhood and adolescence

Abstract Although indirectly aggressive behavior and anxiety symptoms can co-occur, it is unclear whether anxiety is an antecedent or outcome of indirect aggression at the individual level and whether other personality traits can contribute to these longitudinal associations. Therefore, the between- and within-person associations among indirect aggression, anxiety symptoms, and empathic concern were examined across adolescence from ages 11 to 16 in a cohort of individuals followed annually (N = 700; 52.9% girls; 76.0% White) controlling for direct aggression and demographic variables. Results of autoregressive latent trajectory models with structured residuals supported an acting out model at the within-person level. Specifically, anxiety symptoms positively predicted indirect aggression and indirect aggression negatively predicted empathic concern at each adjacent time point. These findings suggest that methods of reducing worries about the self and increasing healthy self-confidence could prevent indirect aggression and help build concern and compassion toward others.
Utilization of genetic testing: Analysis of 4,499 prior authorization requests for molecular genetic tests at four US regional health plans

Continuous advances in genetic testing methodologies and an increased understanding of the genetic mechanisms of diseases have fueled genetic testing utilization across health care specialties. To our knowledge, national trends in the ordering of genetic testing have not been studied broadly across clinical indications, testing methodologies, and ordering provider specialties. We performed a retrospective analysis of 4,499 complete prior authorization requests for molecular genetic testing submitted to four regional health plans’ commercial lines of business between May 1, 2019 and May 31, 2019. Ordering providers were characterized by their certification(s) and specialty of practice. Among 4,499 genetic testing requests, 92% were ordered by non‐genetics providers. Obstetrician/gynecology (OBGYN) (63%), oncology (15%), and genetics (8%) providers ordered genetic testing most frequently. Reproductive, hereditary cancer, and tumor testing were the most frequently ordered genetic tests. Seventy‐nine percent of all prior authorization requests were approved. When analyzing complex genetic testing requests, we found that testing ordered by genetics providers was more likely to be approved based on health plan policy than testing ordered by non‐genetics providers. Our results suggest that health care providers across multiple medical specialties may benefit from involvement of genetics specialists in decision‐making regarding molecular tests.
Crop Water Stress Index of Pecans

RESEARCH was conducted in New Mexico to develop the baselines needed to calculate the crop water stress index (CWSI) for pecans {Carya illinoensis (Wang) K. Koch) using infrared thermometry. Leaflet temperature, canopy temperature, vapor pressure deficit and leaflet diffusion resistance (rs) were measured on six-year-old trees in an open canopy that received four trickle irrigation water application rates. Similar measurements were made at a second site on 14-year-old trees flood irrigated in a closed canopy, and at a third site on eight small trees growing in 113-liter barrel lysimeters. The CWSI lower baseline relates canopy temperature minus air temperature, (Tc-Ta) to the vapor pressure deficit (V), for trees that are not stressed for soil water. This relationship was linearly related with a coefficient of determination of 0.75, and was independent of canopy tree size. The CWSI upper baseline for non-transpiring trees was independent of V but was affected by the canopy cover and had a Tc-Ta value of 6.0 and 4.0°C for trees growing in an open and closed canopy respectively. During three dry-down cycles, where soil water stress caused by soil moisture depletion occurred to the pecans in the barrel lysimeters, the calculated relative evapotranspiration (1-CWSI) was linearly related to the measured relative evapotranspira-tion (Et/Etmax) with a coefficient of determination of 0.78. Pecan tree rs was curvilinearly related to CWSI. During diurnal cycles, pecan tree rs decreased early in the morning as light intensity increased, remained steady during the midday and increased late in the afternoon because of decreasing illumination. An error of 3.5% was made in estimating pecan tree rs from measurements taken only on the abaxial leaflet surface. Leaflet diffusion resistance measurements taken on the edge of the canopy can only be used to represent an average value for the tree having open canopies.
Effects of the 12 May 2021 Geomagnetic Storm on Georeferencing Precision

In this work, we present the positioning error analysis of the 12 May 2021 moderate geomagnetic storm. The storm happened during spring in the northern hemisphere (fall in the south). We selected 868 GNSS stations around the globe to study the ionospheric and the apparent position variations. We compared the day of the storm with the three previous days. The analysis shows the global impact of the storm. In the quiet days, 93% of the stations had 3D errors less than 10 cm, while during the storm, only 41% kept this level of accuracy. The higher impact was over the Up component. Although the stations have algorithms to correct ionospheric disturbances, the inaccuracies lasted for nine hours. The most severe effects on the positioning errors were noticed in the South American sector. More than 60% of the perturbed stations were located in this region. We also studied the effects produced by two other similar geomagnetic storms that occurred on 27 March 2017 and on 5 August 2019. The comparison of the storms shows that the effects on position inaccuracies are not directly deductible neither from the characteristics of geomagnetic storms nor from enhancement and/or variations of the ionospheric plasma.
Basic principle and design criteria of axial-flux PM machines having counter-rotating rotors

Axial-flux PM machines are particularly suitable for application in electrical drives devoted to ship propulsion, since they allow the elimination of the large-power gearbox used in conventional systems. In consideration of that, this paper deals with a novel slotless axial-flux PM machine topology which is characterised by the synchronous counter rotation of the two machine rotors. Such a new machine topology can find application in the direct driving of two counter-rotating propellers, which may be used in propulsion systems to recover energy from rotational flow of the main propeller slip stream. In this case, the use of an axial-flux machine having counter-rotating rotors allows an improvement in terms of weight and efficiency, since the epicyclic gear otherwise required for the motion reversal can be avoided. The paper discusses the stator winding arrangement which allows the opposite motion of the machine rotors and reports experimental results taken from a small-size machine prototype. <<ETX>>
Gendered Pathways to the County-level People's Congress in China

Abstract Women are underrepresented in legislature almost worldwide, and China is no exception. Although the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) implemented its first gender quota in 1933, gender quotas and women's representation in China remain understudied. This study fills the literature gap by examining the subnational variation in gender quota implementation and women's representation in the county-level people's congresses (CPC). Through a comparison of four county-level units in Hunan and Hubei with similar socioeconomic features yet contrasting results in the numbers of female representatives elected in the 2016 CPC election, this study argues that women's access to CPCs is affected by the CCP's adoption and enforcement of grassroots quotas. The fieldwork shows that although all cases introduced a 30 per cent gender quota, only CPCs in Hunan province were able to meet the quota requirements. This was because the grassroots quota threshold was raised in Hunan and strictly enforced, partly as a response to the 2013 Hengyang vote-buying scandal. In contrast, CPCs in Hubei province nominated a large number of “first hands” (yibashou) candidates, very few of whom were women.
Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Repeated Impacts between Two Spheres

The impact of spheres and bodies with spherical surfaces is frequently occurring in engineering applications. Only little research on repeated impacts of spheres is available and the variation of the COR (Coefficient of Restitution) due to repeated impacts is not fully understood yet. Further, the variation of the COR for impact repetition of visco-plastic materials, such as steel, has not been investigated in full detail yet. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of steel spheres during repeated impact in detail in both, experiments and numerical simulations. In the experiments, two steel spheres are suspended like pendula, and the two spheres collide at the same position with the same initial velocity for every repeated impact. The COR is obtained from the velocity change of the spheres which is measured by LDVs (Laser Doppler Vibrometers) set at both sides of the spheres. The static and dynamic material properties are obtained from material tests and are incorporated into an FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis. The experimental results and the FEM results agree fairly well. It is observed that the COR increases toward to 1 by the repetition of impacts, indicating decreasing amount of plastic deformation in the successive impacts.
Who Packed the Drugs? Application of Bayesian Networks to Address Questions of DNA Transfer, Persistence, and Recovery from Plastic Bags and Tape

When DNA from a suspect is detected in a sample collected at a crime scene, there can be alternative explanations about the activity that may have led to the transfer, persistence and recovery of his/her DNA. Previous studies have shown that DNA can be indirectly transferred via intermediate surfaces and that DNA on a previously used object can persist after subsequent use of another individual. In addition, it has been shown that a person’s shedder status may influence transfer, persistence, prevalence, and recovery of DNA. In this study we have investigated transfer persistence and recovery on zip-lock bags and tape, which are commonly encountered in drug cases and how the shedder status of the participants influenced the results. A probabilistic framework was developed which was based on a previously described Bayesian network with case-specific modifications. Continuous modelling of data was used to inform the Bayesian networks and two case scenarios were investigated. In the specific scenarios only moderate to low support for Hp was obtained. Applying a continuous model based on the profile quality can change the LRs.
Internal filtration and external filter cake build-up in sandstones

Water injection is an integral constituent of most field development scenarios. This injection may take place for secondary recovery and pressure maintenance such as sea water injection. Alternatively, it may take place as a waste water disposal method as in the case of produced water re-injection. Associated with most injection schemes is injectivity decline; where the rate of injection decreases over time at a given constant injection pressure gradient. The phenomenon of injectivity decline is comprised of multiple phenomena such as internal filtration, external filter cake build-up, fracture propagation, relative phase changes within the matrix rock and the associated permeability decline due to each of the described phenomena. The study presented in this thesis addresses some of the key phenomena associated with injectivity decline. Two sub-categories were studied both experimentally and theoretically: internal filtration and external filter cake build-up.
LCCA and environmental LCA for highway pavement selection in Colorado

The roadway network in the USA earned a grade of D representing poor condition in the latest report card from the American Society of Civil Engineers. To maintain economic and environmental sustainability during the roadway network development and rehabilitation, it is critical to apply sustainable materials and intelligent design. A good estimation on project-level life-cycle costs and environmental impacts is one of the important steps in the highway investment decision-making process. This article examines the current life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) practice employed by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) in their pavement investment decision-making process, and proposes a regional environmental life-cycle assessment (LCA) model to evaluate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with Colorado highway pavements. Both LCCA and LCA are performed for a highway reconstruction project with Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) and hot-mixed asphalt (HMA) alternatives. The LCCA is 7.4% in favour of HMA. Since the difference is less than 10%, it indicates equivalent designs. However, in the LCA, the GHG emission from PCCP is 26% less than the HMA over the 40-year analysis period. The vehicle fuel consumption will increase due to the deterioration of pavements. But the increased user cost is not included in the current LCCA employed by CDOT as well as user cost due to crashes and nonuser costs. The LCA can be an optional criterion for the selection of the preliminary pavement type.
Structural process model of organizational innovativeness types for sustainability: a dynamic capability perspective

Purpose This paper aims to present an empirical test to analyze a structural process model based on constructs of organizational innovativeness types considering sustainability aspects. It explores interdependency among constructs of organizational innovativeness identified as product, process, behavioral, market, strategic and risk innovativeness. It integrates a dynamic capability perspective to strengthen the existing literature. Design/methodology/approach Sample for data analysis covers 389 managers of firms demonstrating some traits of sustainability orientation and operating in a developing economy like India. Structural equation modeling is applied to test the causal model. Findings Study reveals that risk innovativeness along with strategic innovativeness leads to behavioral innovativeness which further causes product innovativeness and business process innovativeness. Business process innovativeness supports product innovativeness leading to market innovativeness of a firm. Characteristics of organizational innovativeness linked with the risk-taking ability of top management can be a critical differentiating factor between conventional and sustainability-oriented firms. Research limitations/implications The factor of risk innovativeness was applied as per the existing measurement scale and has a scope for further exploration. It also offers an opportunity to reassess organizational innovativeness processes considering sustainability aspects. Practical implications The study may help organizations to develop a systemic approach to evolve and develop business processes linked to organizational innovativeness considering sustainability challenges and uncertain market conditions. Social implications Development of organizational innovativeness considering sustainability aspects may lead to innovative and disruptive products/services leading to mitigate climate change issues, thus helping global societies in long run. Originality/value The study offers common ground linked to the bodies of research related to dynamic capabilities, micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities, innovative capability and sustainability.
