A Simple Power Management Scheme with Enhanced Stability for a Solar PV/Wind/Fuel Cell Fed Standalone Hybrid Power Supply using Embedded and Neural Network Controller

This paper propose a new power conditioner topology with intelligent power management controller that integrates multiple renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and fuel cell energy with battery backup to make best use of their operating characteristics and obtain better reliability than that could be obtained by single renewable energy based power supply. The proposed embedded controller is programmed for maintaining a constant voltage at PCC, maximum power point tracking for solar PV panel and WTG and power flow control by regulating the reference currents of the controller on instantaneous basis based on the power delivered by the sources and load demand. Instantaneous variation in reference currents of the controller enhances the controller response as it accommodates the effect of continuously varying solar insolation and wind speed in the power management. The power conditioner uses a battery bank with embedded controller based online SOC estimation and battery charging system to suitably sink or source the input power based on the load demand. The simulation results of the proposed power management system for a standalone solar/WTG/ fuel cell fed hybrid power supply with real time solar radiation and wind velocity data collected from solar centre, KEC for a sporadically varying load demand is presented in this paper and the results are encouraging in reliability and stability perspective.
A possible mechanism for the origin of inertia in de Sitter-fantappi\'e-arcidiacono projective relativity

Fantappi\'e-Arcidiacono projective relativity, also known as "de Sitter relativity", provides a formulation of mechanics according to which it is possible to identify an inertial frame of reference by means of kinematic methods. This article presents the hypothesis that inertial frames of reference originated during the so-called "archaic era" of the Universe. A simple mechanism is proposed for this process. Such a process could leave behind cosmic fluid granulation, which could manifest itself in the present Universe as a clustering of dark matter in galaxies.
Growth and simulation of high-aspect ratio nanopillars by primary and secondary electron-induced deposition

While several studies have suggested that secondary electrons dominate electron beam induced deposition (EBID), we demonstrate that primary electrons (PE’s) contribute significantly to the deposition for nanoscale EBID over the electron beam energy range (500–20keV). High-aspect ratio pillar growth is a signature of EBID; W nanopillar growth on SiO2 substrate yielded a growth rate of 6nms−1 and a nanopillar aspect ratio of ∼50. A simple integration of the primary, secondary, and backscattered electron distributions versus a dissociation cross section for WF6 suggests that all three electron species should contribute to the total volume of the deposited nanopillar, contrary to reports that suggest that secondary electrons dominate the process. A three-dimensional, Monte Carlo simulation including time correlated gas dynamics and species specific deposition was developed to help elucidate which of the relevant electron species, primary (PE’s), secondary (SE’s), and/or backscattered electrons (BSE’s), induce.
Transfer characteristics of headphones measured on human ears

For 14 headphones and 40 human subjects, transfer functions were measured from the voltage at the headphone terminals to the sound pressure at the entrance to the blocked ear canal. For all headphones the frequency responses were characterized by smooth fluctuations at low frequencies and rather individual high-Q resonances at high frequencies. Data were also obtained on the headphones' acoustical loading of the ear canal. The main objective of the investigation was an evaluation of the headphones as a means for the reproduction of binaural signals, but the transfer functions were also compared with design goals adequate for the reproduction of normal stereo recordings
CISPLATIN IN VIVO ACTION ON LIPID CONTENT IN NUCLEAR MATRIX FROM RAT KIDNEY CELLS

The content of total phospholipids and neutral lipids as well as their individual fractions in nuclear matrix preparations from rat kidney cells after in vivo action of the antitumor drug cisplatin was investigated. It was revealed that cisplatin treatment has reduced the total quantity of nuclear matrix phospholipids and neutral lipids by about 25 % and 27 % correspondingly. The diminution of total lipids quantity was accompanied by alterations in quantities of individual fractions of phospholipids and neutral lipids. These data demonstrate the high sensitivity of nuclear matrix lipids metabolism to antitumor drug cisplatin action. It was supposed that the cisplatin antitumor action also can be performed via quantitative changes of internuclear lipids, which are able to regulate the principal functions of cell nuclei.
An Extended Model Driven Framework for End-to-End Consistent Model Transformation

Model Driven Development (MDD) results in quick transformation from models to corresponding systems. Forward engineering features of modelling tools can help in generating source code from models. To build a robust system it is important to have consistency checking in the design models and the same between design model and the transformed implementation. Our framework named as Extensible Real Time Software Design Inconsistency Checker (XRTSDIC) proposed in our previous papers supports consistency checking in design models. This paper focuses on automatic model transformation. An algorithm and defined transformation rules for model transformation from UML class diagram to ERD and SQL are being proposed. The model transformation bestows many advantages such as reducing cost of development, improving quality, enhancing productivity and leveraging customer satisfaction. Proposed framework has been enhanced to ensure that the transformed implementations conform to their model counterparts besides checking end-to-end consistency.
Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza ( HPAI ) , HPAI virus , subtype H 5 N 1 , Crow , Phylogeny , India

| We isolated two influenza A (subtype H5N1) viruses from crows in India, in 2011 and 2012. Nucleotide sequence of all eight genome segments of both the viruses (A/crow/India/ 11TI07/2011 and A/crow/India/01TR01/2012) was determined and used for analysis. The two isolates shared >99% nucleotide sequence identity in all the eight genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both the viruses belonged to haemagglutinin (HA) clade 2.3. 2.1 of H5N1 viruses. Within clade 2.3. 2.1, the crow viruses grouped with contemporary H5N1 viruses isolated from poultry in India; poultry, crows and environmental sampleas in Bangladesh; and poultry and wild birds in Bhutan. The viruses have the characteristic feature of high pathogenicity to chickens, and possessed avian-like (α 2, 3-linked sialic acid) receptor-specificity in the HA. Analysis of amino acid sequences in the neuraminidase (NA) and M2 indicated that the crow viruses are susceptible to currently available influenza drugs.
The Promise of a Qualitative Case Study Approach for Research on Caregiver Involvement in Inpatient Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Purpose: To demonstrate that, theoretically, a qualitative case study approach holds substantial promise for conducting research on caregiver involvement in inpatient traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation. Methods: Narrative reviews of the TBI rehabilitation and case study literature are presented to explain our rationale for advocating the use of a qualitative case study approach for research in this area. Results: We found that there are four interconnected reasons why this research approach is well suited for investigating caregiver involvement in in-patient TBI rehabilitation. More specifically, a qualitative case study approach allows us to: (a) address the context of inpatient TBI rehabilitation; (b) account for the complexity of caregiver involvement; (c) adapt research to the practical and ethical needs of TBI inpatients and their caregivers; and (d) create research that is congruent with family-centered theory. Conclusion: A qualitative case study approach has the ability to address the complexity and context that surrounds caregiver involvement in inpatient TBI rehabilitation. A case study approach is also congruent with the characteristics of inpatient rehabilitation settings and can take into consideration family-centered theory, which is instrumental to understanding caregiver involvement.
Surface-bounded atmosphere of Europa

A 1-D collisional Monte Carlo model of Europa’s atmosphere is described in which the sublimation and sputtering sources 2O molecules and their molecular fragments are accounted for as well as the radiolytically produced O 2. Dissociation and ionization of H 2O and O2 by magnetospheric electron, solar UV-photon and photo-electron impact, and collisional ejection from the atmosphere by the lo plasma are taken into account. Reactions with the surface are discussed, but only adsorption and atomic oxygen recombination a in this model. The size of the surface-bounded oxygen atmosphere of Europa is primarily determined by a balance between a sources from irradiation of the satellite’s icy surface by the high-energy magnetospheric charged particles and atmospheric lo collisional ejection by the low-energy plasma, photoand electron-impact dissociation, and ionization and pick-up from the surface atmosphere. A range of sources rates for O 2 to H2O are used with a larger oxygen-to-water ratio than suggested by laboratory measur in order to account for differences in adsorption onto grains in the regolith. These calculations show that the atmospheric comp determined by both the water and oxygen photochemistry in the near-surface region, escape of suprathermal oxygen and wa jovian system, and the exchange of radiolytic water products with the porous regolith. For the electron impact ionization rates use ionization is the dominant oxygen loss process, whereas photo-dissociation and atmospheric sputtering are the dominant source oxygen for Europa’s neutral torus. Including desorption and loss of water enhances the supply of oxygen species to the neutra hydrogen produced by radiolysis is the dominant source of neutrals for Europa’s torus in these models.  2004 Elsevier Inc.

Supervenience in Metaphysics

Supervenience is a topic-neutral, broadly logical relation between classes of properties or facts. In a slogan, A supervenes on B if and only if there cannot be an A-difference without a B-difference. The first part of this paper considers different ways in which that slogan has been cashed out. The second part discusses applications of concepts of supervenience, focussing on the question whether they may provide an explication of determination theses such as physicalism.
The impact of foreign trading information on emerging futures markets: a study of Taiwan's unique data set

Using a unique dataset from the Taiwan Futures Exchange, this paper investigates whether trading imbalances by foreign investors affect emerging Taiwan futures market in terms of returns and volatility. First, this evidence demonstrates a positive relation between contemporaneous futures returns and net purchases by foreign investors when other market factor effects are controlled. Second, this failure to detect price reversals is inconsistent with the price pressure hypothesis. Third, foreign investors do not exhibit positive feedback trading patterns. Fourth, a bi-directional Granger-causality relationship exists between futures volatility and foreign trading flows. As found for other stock or foreign exchange markets, our empirical results demonstrate that foreign trading flows do have impacts on the return and volatility of developing futures market, suggesting that trading by foreign investors may enhance the information flow of the local futures market.
The EAGLE: A Model for Policy Analysis of Macroeconomic Interdependence in the Euro Area

Building on the New Area Wide Model, we develop a 4-region macroeconomic model of the euro area and the world economy. The model (EAGLE, Euro Area and Global Economy model) is microfounded and designed for conducting quantitative policy analysis of macroeconomic interdependence across regions belonging to the euro area and between euro area regions and the world economy. Simulation analysis shows the transmission mechanism of region-specific or common shocks, originating in the euro area and abroad.
Physiological responses of Chrysanthemum x morifolium to low night temperatures

A greenhouse study was performed in the autumn of 2006 and replicated in the winter of 2007 to study the effect of low night temperature (LNT) on plant growth responses in vegetative Chrysanthemum x morifolium. Plants were grown under long day conditions in four climates with a photoperiod of 17 hours. The four climates had a day temperature set point of 22oC, and four combinations of night temperatures and CO2 concentrations during the day, when vents were closed; The night temperature set points were 20oC and 12oC, and set points of CO2 concentrations were, ambient [CO2] 350 μl·l and High [CO2] 900 μl·l. The set point of 12oC night was not reached at any time in the autumn experiment, and not before 2 hours after the start of the dark period in the winter experiment. However, the LNT set point of 12oC increased starch accumulation in the leaves in both experiments, although the increase was much more pronounced at high CO2 concentrations in the winter experiment, compared with the autumn experiment. The set point of 12oC night had no significant effect on plant dry matter (DM) production or NO3 uptake, but 12oC night reduced stem length in the winter experiment. High [CO2] increased shoot DM, leaf DM, the number of leaves and stem length. The present results indicate that starch accumulation as a response of chrysanthemum to LNT depend on contributing factors, such as [CO2] and light intensity. Furthermore, it is concluded, that it is possible to grow chrysanthemums with a night temperature set point of 12oC, without a loss in DM production and significant changes in morphology.

SENSIBILITY ANALYSIS USING POLYNOMIAL CHAOS: APPLICATIONS

In this paper, we present robustness analysis of Control Systems by means of the Polynomial Chaos Method (PCM). The PCM was firstly conceived by Norbert Wiener to solve some kind of Gaussian stochastic system. The method was improved and generalized to be applied to different kinds of random measures (the Winer-Askey scheme). It consists of expanding candidate solutions in Galerkin polynomials of random variables, which transforms the system in a bigger set off deterministic equations that can be solved by traditional numerical methods. We also present two examples of applications: 1) robustness analysis of a multivariable linear time invariant system under a robust controller and 2) the robustness analysis of a nonlinear system with a feedback linearization controller.
PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL STARTER DIETS DURING FIRST-FEEDING OF LANDLOCKED FALL CHINOOK SALMON

Changes in the availability of starter diets traditionally used during landlocked fall Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha rearing necessitated the testing of potential alternatives. Three diets, Silvercup® salmon starter, Silvercup 0.7 mm extruded micro-pellet, and BioVita® #0 starter, were compared during a 28-day trial. Weight gain was significantly greater in the tanks of salmon receiving Bio vita compared to 0.7 mm Silvercup. Feed conversion ratio was also improved with the feeding of Biovita versus 0.7 mm Silvercup, with Silvercup starter producing results not significantly different from the other two diets. Mortality was 50% lower in Biovita and 37% lower in 0.7 mm Silvercup in comparison to Silvercup starter, although none of these three means were significantly different. Individual fish weights and lengths were significantly lower in the fish fed the 0.7 mm Silvercup in comparison to the other two diets. Based on these results, Biovita #0 is recommended for initial feeding of landlocked fall Chinook salmon fry.
The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP)

23 The primary objective of CFMIP is to inform future assessments of cloud feedbacks through improved understanding of 24 cloud-climate feedback mechanisms and better evaluation of cloud processes and cloud feedbacks in climate models. 25 However, the CFMIP approach is also increasingly being used to understand other aspects of climate change, such as 26 nonlinear change and regional changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation. CFMIP is supporting ongoing model 27 inter-comparison activities by coordinating a hierarchy of targeted experiments for CMIP6, along with a set of cloud related 28 output diagnostics. CFMIP contributes primarily to addressing the CMIP6 questions ”How does the Earth System respond to 29 forcing? ” and ”What are the origins and consequences of systematic model biases? ” and supports the activities of the WCRP 30 Grand Challenge on Clouds, Circulation and Climate Sensitivity. 31 A compact set of Tier 1 experiments is proposed for CMIP6 to address the question: “1) What are the physical mechanisms 32 underlying the range of cloud feedbacks and cloud adjustments predicted by climate models, and which models have the most 33 credible cloud feedbacks? ” Additional Tier 2 experiments are proposed to address the following questions: 2) Are cloud 34 feedbacks consistent for climate cooling and warming, and if not, why? 3) How do cloud-radiative effects impact the 35 structure, the strength and the variability of the general atmospheric circulation in present and future climates? 4) How do 36 responses in the climate system due to changes in solar forcing differ from changes due to CO2, and is the response sensitive 37 to the sign of the forcing? 5) To what extent is regional climate change per CO2 doubling state-dependent (nonlinear), and 38 why? 6) Are climate feedbacks during the 20 th century different to those acting on long term climate change and climate 39 sensitivity? 7) How do regional climate responses (e.g. in precipitation) and their uncertainties in coupled models arise from 40 the combination of different aspects of CO2 forcing and sea surface warming? 41 CFMIP also proposes a number of additional model outputs in the CMIP DECK, CMIP6 Historical and CMIP6 CFMIP 42 experiments, including COSP simulator outputs and process diagnostics to address the following questions: 1) How well do 43 clouds and other relevant variables simulated by models agree with observations? 2) What physical processes and 44 mechanisms are important for a credible simulation of clouds, cloud feedbacks and cloud adjustments in climate models? 3) 45 Which models have the most credible representations of processes relevant to the simulation of clouds? 4) How do clouds 46 and their changes interact with other elements of the climate system? 47 Geosci.

Influence of course type on upper body muscle activity in elite Cross-Country and Downhill mountain bikers during off Road Downhill Cycling

This study aimed to investigate upper body muscle activity using surface electromyography (sEMG) in elite cross-country (XCO) and downhill (DH) cyclists during off road descending and the influence of man-made (MM) and natural terrain (NT) descents on muscle activity. Twelve male elite mountain bikers (n=6 XCO; age 23 ± 4 yrs; stature 180.5 ± 5.6 cm; body mass 70.0 ± 6.4 kg and n=6 DH; age 20 ± 2 yrs; stature 178.8 ± 3.1 cm; body mass 75.0 ± 3.0 kg) took part in this study. sEMG were recorded from the left biceps brachii, triceps brachii, latissimus dorsi and brachioradialis muscles and expressed as a percentage of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (% MVIC). Both groups performed single runs on different MM and NT courses specific to their cycling modality. Significant differences in mean % MVIC were found between biceps brachii and triceps brachii (p=.016) and triceps brachii and latissimus dorsi (p=.046) during MM descents and between biceps brachii and triceps brachii (p=.008) and triceps brachii and latissimus dorsi (p=.031) during NT descents within the DH group. Significant differences in mean % MVIC were found between biceps brachii and brachioradialis (p=.022) for MM runs and between biceps brachii and brachioradialis (p=.013) for NT runs within the XCO group. Upper body muscle activity differs according to the type of downhill terrain, and appears to be specific to DH and XCO riders. Therefore, the discipline specific impact on muscle activation and the type of course terrain ridden should be considered when mountain bikers engage in upper body conditioning programmes.
Ontology-based Recommendation from Natural Language User Descriptions: Recommending Eco-Innovations to Companies

The paper reports on the development of a recommendation system which offers complex services and green technology solutions for companies. The system must work in a predominantly data sparse environment with respect to traditional evidence of user preference and therefore has to seek other ways of collecting the information necessary for principled recommendations. We utilize and adapt methods from natural language processing, text analysis, information retrieval, information extraction and knowledge engineering in order to overcome the data sparseness problem. The system works with Hungarian language data but with the necessary resources developed the framework is applicable in other languages as well.
Amino Acid Exporter: A Tool for the Next-Generation Microbial Fermentation

Amino acids are important biomaterials for the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The world market for amino acids is steadily growing and predicted to go over US$ 10 billion within a few years [1, 2]. Of the twenty proteogenic amino acids, essential amino acids, such as lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan which are not synthesized in animals, constitute a major end-use market as feed additives with the largest share of the total amino acid market [3]. Glutamic acid, a sodium salt of which (mono-sodium glutamate) is extensively used in food as a flavour-enhancer, has the largest production amounting to approximately two million tons per year [4].
