Design of Least Order Residual Generators for Fault Detection and Isolation with Application to Monitoring Actuator/Surface Faults for a Boing 747 100/200 Aircraft

We address the problem of designing residual generators with least dynamical orders to solve fault detection and isolation problems. The basic design procedure of least order residual generators for fault detection combines a rational nullspace method with minimal dynamical covers based order reduction techniques. This procedure underlies the design of residual generators for fault detection and isolation using a bank of scalar output residual generators. State space representation based numerically reliable algorithms are discussed to solve all underlying computational problems. These algorithms have been implemented as robust numerical software in a dedicated collection of tools to solve fault detection and isolation problems. An application of the proposed techniques and developed new software tools to the actuator fault monitoring for a Boeing 747 100/200 aircraft is presented.
Action Design Research: Expanding the Scope

Design Research (DR) can be seen as an accepted and wide spread research approach in the field of Information Systems (IS). Sein et al. (2011), explicitly claim that there is a need for a new research method within IS and has suggested Action Design Research (ADR). According to our understanding ADR has not been used in a real empirical situation. In order to justify ADR there are attempts to reconstruct previously conducted research projects as ADR-projects. In this respect, ADR can be seen as a promising hypothesis that needs further verification. In this study, we have used ADR in a project concerning process efficiency for IT Services. The purpose of this paper is to suggest an expanded scope that is based reflections regarding the IT-artifact view as it is presented in ADR and the use of ADR in several organizations. Overall, we have found ADR as a useful method that supports the dual mission of making theoretical contributions and assisting in solving the practitioners’ problems. We can also confirm that ADR works for a setting consisting of several organizations. However, we are questioning the narrowed view of the artifact. In his paper, we suggest a broadened view of the artifact. A broadened view and a setting consisting of several organizations strengthen reliability and validity.
UGS, UGV, and MAV in the 2007 C4ISR OTM Experiment

Abstract : In the summer of 2007 as part of the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance On-the-Move (C4ISR OTM) experiment, the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the Communications- Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Command (CERDEC) demonstrated the viability of integrating a variety of unattended ground sensors (UGS), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and micro air vehicles (MAVs) into a Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) based system that provides situational awareness (SA) and command and control (C2) to the lowest tactical echelons. In this report we describe the system architecture, techniques and components used to effect this integration.
Assessment of turbulence modelling for CFD simulations into hydroturbines: spiral casings

Spiral casings are applied to distribute the water, as evenly as possible, to the stay vanes and wicket gates and then to the turbine runner. In a well-designed spiral casing, the pressure head of the fluid should be made available to the runner with minimum loss, hence the analysis of the flow through a spiral casing is important for the design of efficient hydraulic turbines. The goal of this work is based on turbo machines spiral casings three-dimensional flow modeling, simulation and characterization. Governing equations related to their study are used in the mathematical modeling part. Therefore, several turbulence models available will be tested with a finite volume method based commercial software CFX 5.5. 1 which generates default tetrahedral meshing. Qualitative and quantitative results validation are proved by workshop benchmark experiments already done, in order these results can obtain a turbulence model that represents better the flow complexity inside spiral casings.
Quality of low frequency audio reproduction in critical listening spaces

The quality of low frequency audio reproduction in small spaces has always been problematic. For some time, methods have been suggested in order to optimise this reproduction. Many such methods have been based upon objective metrics which remain unproven from a subjective perspective. Whilst perception has been studied, this thesis identifies a research gap for more thorough testing. A series of listening tests has been conducted, with virtual rooms auralised and presented over headphones in order to isolate specific modal parameters and allow e cient collection of subjective response from many listening environments. The work presented searches for optimal values and perceptual thresholds of three parameters modal spacing, density and decay. Results show that optimal spacings and densities may only be defined where assumptions are made which are not valid in realistic listening spaces. Thresholds of modal decay1 have been defined, which are considered valid regardless of stimuli or replay level. These are around 0.2 seconds for frequencies above 100Hz, and increase sharply below this point to around 0.85 seconds at 32Hz. Through the testing of these parameters, it is shown that whilst discrimination between two rooms is usually a simple task, this does not reveal the underlying reproduction quality. The perceived quality of the room response is of great importance, and new experiments assess this quality using a paired comparison method which provides a simpler subjective task than direct scaling methods. A set of descriptors is elicited which can be used to evaluate low frequency audio. These descriptors articulation, resonance and bass energy are used to assess the impact of three room parameters on perceived reproduction quality. Room response metrics are also evaluated for perceived quality. Results reveal that modal decay is a primary indicator of quality, with shorter decays producing rooms with a higher perceived quality of reproduction. 1If a mode has a decay time less than a particular threshold, the individual e ect of that mode on overall audio quality will be imperceptible.
Managing the Transition Cow: Recent Research and Recommendations

The transition period is roughly defined as three weeks prior to calving until three weeks after calving. This period is aptly named. Major metabolic transitions occur in a cow’s body as she converts from a non-lactating to a lactating state and undergoes the stress of parturition. Management transitions such as pen moves and ration changes are additionally occurring. Cows often fail to adapt to these metabolic and management changes, resulting in 75% of dairy cow disease incidence during the first month after calving and substantial economic losses to the dairy industry (LeBlanc et al., 2006).
Taxonomic requirements for better documenting and understanding biological invasions – the example of genetic weatherfish Misgurnus/Paramisgurnus sp. identification

Management of biological invasions strongly depends on early and accurate detection of non-native species, yet species identification is often complicated for various reasons. One prominent example relates to the controversy about the genetic specimen assignment of Asian and Oriental weatherfish species introduced into Europe. Weatherfishes, comprising the genera Misgurnus and Paramisgurnus (Cobitidae) are small benthic freshwater fishes with a wide range of habitats in the temperate to subtropical regions of Eurasia. Many of the eleven described species have been introduced outside their native ranges, mainly through ornamental trade and as food. Due to their poorly known life cycles, unclear morphology, overlapping meristic features and frequent hybridisation, the challenges associated with accurate species identification in this group comprise cryptic species and cryptic invasions, unresolved classical and molecular taxonomy, haplotype sharing and incomplete molecular genetic reference databases. Based on our newly generated molecular phylogeny comprising 289 published weatherfish COI barcodes, the existence of distinct phylogenetic clusters is evident. Except for the endangered Central European species, Misgurnus fossilis, and an unnamed cluster from Vietnam, all clusters were polyphyletic. Haplotype sharing was frequently observed, as well as specimens only labelled to genus or higher taxonomic levels. We conclude that genetic analysis of type specimens or type regions to resolve the underlying taxonomy and complete the reference databases would be necessary as prerequisite for accurate species identification in the weatherfish group. Such information is crucial in assessing their worldwide species distribution patterns, ecosystem impacts and invasive potential. As molecular genetic databases are constantly growing, new taxa are being proposed, and taxonomies are being changed in light of new data, it is obligatory to consider past publications in light of the dynamics of species names and taxonomic phylogenies. We still recommend early sharing of exotic species records since such knowledge is particularly crucial when it comes to management of invasive species.

AUDIO BASED DETECTION OF REAR APPROACHING VEHICLES ON A BICYCLE

OF THE THESIS Audio Based Detection Of Rear Approaching Vehicles On A Bicycle by Vancheswaran Koduvayur Ananthanarayanan Thesis Director: Liviu Iftode Cycling is an efficient mode of travel widely used for transport, recreation and sport all over the world. In addition to being environmentally friendly, it also affects the health of the cyclist favorably. Safety is an important concern for a cyclist because, during an accident with a motor vehicle, the cyclist is exposed to higher risk of injury than the vehicle driver. Improving bicycle safety is an important factor in saving lives and promoting the use of this environmentally friendly mode of transport. The Cyber-Physical Bicycle system was introduced as a concept bicycle that can alert the cyclist of dangerously approaching vehicles from the rear. The system aims to accurately detect and track vehicles approaching from the rear, differentiate dangerously approaching vehicles, and alert the cyclist early enough to take preventive measures. This is achieved through video based detection. The traditional bicycle is extended with computational capabilities and a rear facing video camera, which constantly monitors vehicular traffic behind the bicycle. Research indicates that the system is feasible, works with good accuracy and generates timely alerts, though it cannot operate at full efficiency while running in realtime. In this thesis, we present an approach that augments a bicycle with audio based
An API to Wi-Fi Direct Using Reactive Building Blocks

Implementing unfamiliar functionalities in smartphone applications can be a difficult and a tedious task. Owing to the fact that the API do not have a formal way of representing the sequence of events may be one reason. This thesis describes the development process of various Arctis building blocks based on Android's API of Wi-Fi Direct. The objective of these blocks was to simplify the implementation of Wi-Fi Direct by confining a predictable sequence of events. An Android application was developed in order to test the functionalities, and to validate the prospects of portability for the various building blocks. The work resulted in a construction of three main building blocks, where each of them is responsible for a Wi-Fi Direct related function. Developers will be able to seamlessly utilize the Wi-Fi Direct functionality by combining and implementing these building blocks into their own applications.
Electrochemical Synthesis of Isoxazolines: Method and Mechanism

Abstract An electrochemical method for the green and practical synthesis of a broad range of substituted isoxazoline cores is presented. Both aryl and more challenging alkyl aldoximes are converted to the desired isoxazoline in an electrochemically enabled regio‐ and diastereoselective reaction with electron‐deficient alkenes. Additionally, in‐situ reaction monitoring methods compatible with electrochemistry equipment have been developed in order to probe the reaction pathway. Supporting analyses from kinetic (time‐course) modelling and density functional theory support a stepwise, radical‐mediated mechanism, and discounts hypothesised involvement of closed shell [3+2] cycloaddition pathways.
Elastic-plastic analysis for pile-anchor supporting system of deep foundation pit

By using numerical analysis methods to simulate the deep excavation,a lot of analyses are established on the basis of two-dimensional plane strain,ignoring the fact that foundation pit possesses three dimensions. For soil constitutive relation,people always take linear and nonlinear model,without considering the plastic behavior of soil. Using plastic-elastic hardening model to simulate constitutive relation of soil characteristics,the authors carried out mechanical analysis for pit excavation and support. The results show that the analysis for the stress state of pile anchor system is an effective way which provides theoretical basis for calculation of soil displacement.
Online knowledge construction mediated by mobile instant messaging

Widespread use of mobile instant messaging (MIM) both formally by educators and voluntarily by students to support coursework has resulted in increased interest in the academic utility of the technology. However, due to the relative newness of the technology there is a call for more studies on how MIM impacts teaching and learning. To address this need, this case study investigates how MIM mediates online knowledge construction within the context of an economics course project. Online interactions over the course of a 16-week semester were coded and analysed using the Interaction Analysis Model. Analysis of 4,685 online messages revealed evidence of all five phases of knowledge construction: the sharing of information, identification of dissonance, negotiation of meaning, testing, and collective understanding. Both the structure of the course project and the affordances of connectivity, context-free access, and quasi-synchronous communication were found to be key factors in facilitating the knowledge construction process. Findings indicate that MIM may be effective supporting online collaborative learning. Furthermore, specific examples of student interactions offer insights into the complexity of online discussion possible via MIM and the interrelationships between the various phases of online knowledge construction.

Glutathione imparts stress tolerance against Alternaria brassicicola infection via miRNA mediated gene regulation

ABSTRACT Glutathione (GSH) is well known to play a crucial role in imparting resistance against various pathogen invasions. Nevertheless, the role of GSH in regulating miRNA-mediated defense response is yet to be explored. To decipher the GSH-mediated regulation of miRNA expression during necrotrophic infection in Arabidopsis thaliana, wild-type Col-0 and AtECS1, the transgenic line exhibiting enhanced GSH content, were infected with necrotrophic pathogen Alternaria brassicicola. AtECS1 plants exhibited enhanced resistance as compared to wild-type. MiRNA next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to compare the miRNA expression in Col-0 and AtECS1 leaves. Under control condition, differentially expressed 96 known miRNAs and 17 novel miRNAs viz. ath-miR8167f, ath-miR1886.3, ath-miR3932b-5p, etc. were identified. However, under infected condition, 73 known and 43 novel differentially expressed miRNAs viz. ath-miR5652, ath-miR160b, ath-miR865-5p, etc. were identified. Functional annotation and enrichment analysis revealed that several miRNAs that target defense-related genes like leucine-rich repeat protein kinase, MYB transcription factors, TCP8, etc. were down regulated in the AtECS1 line, which, in turn, relieves the repression of their target gene expression, leading to resistance against infection. Together, the present investigation suggests that GSH plays a decisive role in modulating the miRNA-mediated regulation of defense-related genes during pathogen invasion.
On the State of the Art in Requirements-based Validation and Test ofSoftware

Validation of requirements and verification of software are crucial activities in the software development process since they essentially determine the quality of the software product and account for a big part of the overall development cost and use of resources. Only these activities can ensure that user requirements - whether they be explicit or only implicit - are met. This report overviews current methods and approaches towards validation of requirements and requirements-based testing.
DSRC STANDARDS AND ETC SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT IN JAPAN

In 1995, Japan started developing DSRC (dedicated short range communication) standards (5.8GHz, Active system) targeted for ETC (electronic toll collection) systems for all over Japan. The first Japanese DSRC standard is ARIB (Association of Radio Industries and Businesses) STD T-55, which has been introduced for ETC systems in Japan. After standardising ARIB STD T-55, Japan has started developing the next generation DSRC standards for multiple ITS applications. The new standards will have much faster data transmission than the first generation to cover a variety of ITS applications including such as internet downloading. In international standardisation, Japan has been actively contributing both for ISO/TC204/WG15 and ITU-R/SG8/WP8A. In Asia-Pacific region, Japan is involved in ASTAP (Asia-Pacific Telecommunity Standardisation Organisation). The ETC systems in Japan are on trial in the greater Tokyo area from April 2000. The systems will be installed all over Japan by 2002. For the covering abstract see ITRD E114174.
The impact of affect on assessment of group decision support systems

This thesis discusses the role of affect in users' assessment of a collaborative system. A web-based multi-attribute group decision support system (iMade) is developed that is characterized by both its adaptability for a variety of decision-making situations, and the resulted utility due to applying design science principles in constructing this artifact. We present findings of a controlled experiment designed to assess influence of affect and various other factors on adoption of information systems using a research model based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Although many researchers have extended the TAM model and studied various antecedents of using that system, no one has systematically studied the effect of group members' behavior and their interaction with one another on the evaluation of the system that they are engaged in. It is hypothesized that the system features by themselves are not the sole factors that affect the users' perception and their intention to use it; but, group interactions play an important role in the user's perceptions of the system (Etezadi-Amoli and Kersten, 2008, Etezadi, 2010). To test this phenomenon, a group decision problem was developed and an experiment was carried out using the iMade system. Thirty subjects assumed the role of three groups of stakeholders and negotiated along with two experimenters as a group, with the task of purchasing a fleet of taxicab; the experimenters were required to induce either positive or negative affect within the group. Analysis of the data clearly shows that group affect significantly influences users evaluation of the system
