The Ignition Target for the National Ignition Facility

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is a 192 beam Nd-glass laser facility presently under construction at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) for performing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and experiments studying high energy density (HED) science. When completed in 2009, NIF will be able to produce 1.8 MJ, 500 TW of ultraviolet light for target experiments that will create conditions of extreme temperatures (>10{sup 8} K), pressures (10-GBar) and matter densities (> 100 g/cm{sup 3}). A detailed program called the National Ignition Campaign (NIC) has been developed to enable ignition experiments in 2010, with the goal of producing fusion ignition and burn of a deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel mixture in millimeter-scale target capsules. The first of the target experiments leading up to these ignition shots will begin in 2008. Targets for the National Ignition Campaign are both complex and precise, and are extraordinarily demanding in materials fabrication, machining, assembly, cryogenics and characterization. An overview of the campaign for ignition will be presented, along with technologies for target fabrication, assembly and metrology and advances in growth and x-ray imaging of DT ice layers. The sum of these efforts represents a quantum leap in target precision, characterization, manufacturing rate and flexibility over current state-of-the-art.
A Variable Step Maximum Power Point Tracking for Photovoltaic Power System

Solar energy has received wide interest due to the shortage of energy and CO2 reduction requirement. Electricity conversion is especially interested in the study of solar energy using photovoltaic (PV) cell. PV cell is a nonlinear power device depending on various factors. In this paper, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is proposed using variable step hill-climbing algorithm. The MPPT was achieved by detecting the fluctuations of PV in associate with a switching converter. The algorithm was validated through numerical simulation and experimental study.
Systemic Resistance in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Elicited by Some Biotic Inducers Against Root Diseases

The effect of seed treatment of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) with biotic inducers such as Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Bacillus subtilis in contrast to the fungicide Rizolex-T, were evaluated in the greenhouse and under field conditions during the 2017/2018 season to control the plant disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, or Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, at Giza Agriculture Research Station, Agricultural Research Center, Giza Governorate, Egypt. The tested strains significantly inhibit the mycelial growth of the three tested fungi for pathogenic growth. Compared to the untreated control under greenhouse and field conditions, all the biotic inducer treatments tested significantly decreased the percentages of damping-off, root rot, stem rot and/or wilt diseases. It was noticed that Rizolex-T and (Trichoderma viride + Trichoderma harzianum) have reached the highest percentage of surviving plants followed by (Pseudomonas fluorescens + Bacillus subtilis), Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Serratia marcescens, respectively. As well as all the treatments of the checked biocontrol agents increased the growth and yield parameters of chickpea significantly, i.e., plant hight, branches number per plant, pods number per plant, seeds number per plant, seeds weight per plant, 100 seeds weight, and chickpea yield ton/fed. In the presence of the three studied pathogens, defense-related enzyme activities (β-1,3 glucanase, peroxidase, and polyphenoloxidase) have also been determined in all chickpea plants treated with tested biotic inducers compared to untreated infested and non-infested control. The treatment of (Trichoderma harzianum + Trichoderma viride) showed the highest increase in phenol content and the activities of defense-related enzymes.

Nonlinear Short-Run Adjustments between REITs and Stock Markets in the USA and Australia

Abstract This study examines whether nonlinear co-integration exists between real estate investment trusts (REITs) and corresponding stock markets in the United States and Australia. Moreover, we employ the smooth-transition, vector-error correction model (STVECM) including the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) model to separately explore the adjustment efficiencies of the short-run REITs and corresponding stock returns in dynamics. The empirical results demonstrate that there is a nonlinear co-integration with structural breaks between the equity and mortgage REITs and stock markets in the US as well as between the REITs and stock markets in Australia. When large positive and negative deviations of STVECM exist, the speed of equilibrium adjustment of the S&P 500 index is greater than that of the Mortgage REITs index. Additionally, the higher the equilibrium adjustment of Australian/US REITs index, the greater the reversion of Australian/US REITs index. Meanwhile, this study is also interested in finding out whether the REIT indices in the US or Australia would serve as a leading indicator for price movements. The result findings may provide a good reference for the investors’ investment engaged in the areas of these two countries. JEL Classification: C22, D53, G14, L85.

Variable-Geometry Suspension Design in Driver Assistance Systems

The paper proposes variable-geometry suspension design to enhance road stability during vehicle maneuvers. The orientation of wheels is modified by a suspension actuator, which results in an additional steering angle and a camber angle. A detailed analysis shows that the variable-geometry suspension system affects both the steering and the camber angle. Consequently, the integration of steering and wheel tilting can be handled by the variable-geometry suspension system. It is also shown that the suspension construction affects the control design. The control system must guarantee various vehicle performances such as trajectory tracking, roll stability and geometry limits. The operation of the designed control system is illustrated through simulation examples.

Non-Intrusive Real Time Human Fatigue Modelling and Monitoring

In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic model based on the Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) for dynamically modelling and detecting human fatigue. We first present a static fatigue model that captures the static relationships between fatigue, significant factors that cause fatigue, and various visual cues that are typically resulted from fatigue. The static fatigue model allows to spatially integrate fatigue evidences from different sources. It, however, fails to capture the dynamic aspect of fatigue. Fatigue is a cognitive state that is developed over time. To account for the temporal aspect of human fatigue, the static fatigue model is extended based on the DBNs. The dynamic fatigue model allows to integrate fatigue evidences not only spatially but also temporally, therefore leading to a more robust fatigue modelling and inference. The evaluation of the fatigue model with simulated data reveals the satisfactory performance of the proposed fatigue model. The dynamic fatigue model is then integrated with our computer vision module to perform non-intrusive real-time fatigue monitoring and detection.
Parental Perceptions of Their Preschool and Elementary School Children with Respect to Teacher-Family Relations and Teaching Methods During the First COVID-19 Lockdown

The goal of this study was to learn about parental perceptions of their preschool and elementary school children with respect to relations with the teachers and various aspects of distance learning used during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Israel. Research was carried out in the summer of 2020 among 602 parents, comprising a representative sample of parents of children in preschool, grades 1-2, and grades 3-6 of the Jewish population of Israel. Participants completed a questionnaire designed for this study that sought to measure attitudes towards aspects of distance learning (e.g., Zoom lessons) and how the teachers related to the children and parents. Findings indicate that the child's age had an impact on how the parent perceives the activities of the children and the teachers with respect to several forms of distance learning imposed by the pandemic. At all ages, parental interpretation of the impact of the pandemic on teacher-family relations was found to contribute to the explained variance regarding parental evaluation of the children's and teachers' activities as well as the variance in attitudes about distance learning (both online and asynchronous). Also, parents of every age cohort reported that they were more involved in their children's distance learning than in encouraging the children to reach out to their friends -- the parents of third through sixth graders were even less involved than parents of the younger children.
The State of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in Engineering Educa- tion: Where do we go from here?

The proliferation of massive open online courses (MOOC) is dramatically changing the way we teach and learn. These online courses have the flexibility to combine social networking with online videos and homework, allowing participants to learn at their own pace. Furthermore, unlike conventional classes, they can potentially reach an unlimited number of students worldwide. Examples of MOOCs that have been established recently include Coursera, Udacity, edX, MITx, and Khan Academy. These courses continue in the collaborative spirit of open sharing of software and information brought on by the open source and Wikipedia movements. In addition, the courses help to bridge the gap between the rich and poor within the digital divide. The rapid growth and popularity of the MOOCs have led experts to predict that the traditional higher education market will face pressure over the next several years, due to growing competition from MOOCs as well as international universities. Although the top educational institutions will continue to attract students, other institutes are likely to suffer if they do not integrate MOOCs and new technologies in their curriculum, especially given the rapidly changing learning preferences in the current generation of students. Since no open education standard has emerged to define the future of MOOCs, there is currently a barrage of unregulated courses on the Web that could potentially lead to misinformation conveyed to the online learners. This paper reviews and compares the current platforms and technologies available in the online engineering education arena, proposes a model for combining MOOCs with live university courses, lays the groundwork for open standards for engineering education, summarizes the international challenges ahead, and discusses the implications for future educators and students. The impact of this study will help educators manage the vast content in order to integrate online education in their own curriculum, and provide guidelines on how to best utilize the MOOCs in the future.
Developing a diagnosis system for the Otitis media disease based on the color image segmentation

Middle ear diseases diagnosis is highly dependent on the doctor’s experience thus some of the abnormalities can be easily missed even by experienced doctors. The process of reading medical images, detecting symptoms, and reaching a true conclusive diagnosis is a process that depends heavily on the doctor’s empirical knowledge, memory, intuition, and diligence. All of which are uncontrollable factors, which leaves the diagnostic process inconsistent, and prone to error for doctors who have been in the field for a while, and makes it extremely difficult for newly graduated doctors. This research aims to develop smart diagnosis system to support ENT (ear nose and throat) otolaryngologist that can identify and highlight lesions and regions of interests, and provide a second diagnosis opinion. For all patients fully Audiological and video otoscopic examination were done by the ENT otologists.
EFFECT OF MICROPROPAGATION CONDITIONS ON ADVENTITIOUS BUDS FORMATION AND THE CIRCADIAN EXPRESSION OF THE ACO013229.1 GENE IN ANANAS COMOSUS

mooth cayenne pineapple cultivar is considered the most suitable variety for the climatic conditions in Egypt, in addition to its distinctive flavor and ability for canning. To meet market demand, large quantities of plant materials are required, which cannot be obtained via traditional breeding methods. As a result, an in vitro technique was designed to increase the multiplication rate, rooting, and acclimatization of this unique pineapple variety. Thidiazuron (TDZ) at 2.0 mg/l proved to be superior for direct organogenesis rate. Half strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 1.0 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) in combination with 0.5 mg/l naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) improved the number and length of roots. Organogenesis has been accelerated from in vitro derived leaves and developed to healthy plantlets, which were acclimatized in the greenhouse. In order to investigate the effect of micropropagation on circadian rhythm, the circadian expression of Aco013229.1 was compared, which belongs to the MADS-box gene family, between the in vitro propagated plantlets and the in vivo-grown plants. The unaffected expression pattern of Aco013229.1 proposed that in vitro micropropagation did not affect the circadian cycling; hence, the CAM photosynthesis process was not interrupted. Moreover, the circadian expression of Aco013229.1 of the in vitro and in vivo-grown plants showed a similar pattern, strongly pointing at a stable circadian rhythm of the micropropagated plants and thus a well-maintained CAM photosynthesis. This gene family plays a significant role in a number of biological processes especially flowering.
Improving students’ creativity in familiar versus unfamiliar mobile-assisted language learning environments

ABSTRACT Fifty-one learning strategies were developed and validated in this study to make language learners more knowledgeable about unfamiliar environments. The study tested the effectiveness of the strategies in improving the creativity of students. 75 university students participated in the study and they were divided into three groups: (1) students who learned in unfamiliar learning environments without familiarization strategies; (2) students who learned in unfamiliar learning environments and used familiarization strategies; and (3) students who learned in familiar learning environments. All students learned vocabulary, grammar, sentence patterns and how to write descriptive essays in class. After class, they applied newly learned knowledge by describing people, objects and situations in the real world using mobile devices. The content of students' essays was compared across three groups and the results showed that students in Group 2 and Group 3 had better creativity scores than students in Group 1. The results indicated that students' creativity is affected by their familiarity with the environment. Therefore, it is suggested that student familiarization with learning sites needs to be considered when designing learning activities in the real world. Educators should provide familiarization strategies to students when learning in unfamiliar learning environments.
Study the Relationship between Cultural Intelligence and Academic Vitality with Self-Directed Learning among Nursing Students

Background: Cultural intelligence has been described as an essential intelligence for the 21st century that can increase students' adaptability, problem-solving skills, and influence their performance and learning vitality. Aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cultural intelligence and academic vitality with selfdirected learning among nursing students. Design: Descriptive, correlational study design was adopted. Setting: The study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing, Tanta University. Subjects: All fourth year nursing students (n=295) were included. Tools: Three tools for data collection were used to achieve the aim of this study; Cultural Intelligence Scale, Academic Vitality Questionnaire and Self-Directed Learning Instrument (SDLI). Results: As a result of the conducted study revealed that there is a high level of culture intelligence and academic vitality with moderate level of self-directed learning among nursing students. There were significant positive correlation between self-directed learning (r= 0.33) and its aspects including, self-management (r= 0.72), desire for learning (r= 0.58) and self-monitoring (r=0.52) with cultural intelligence and academic vitality (P<0.01). Conclusion: Selfdirected learning seems to be a phenomenon that is influenced by many factors such as cultural intelligence and academic vitality. Recommendations: this study suggests that academic vitality and culture intelligence should be considered together when self-directed learning is conducted to improve nursing students' academic performance. Workshops should be held in order to promote self-directed learning among students.

Development of a tool for self-assessing the project team's ability to co-design with suppliers in new product development

It is now acknowledged that Early Supplier Involvement (ESI) in product development confers a competitive advantage. However, the implementation of ESI has been further extended to consider the successful product development, particularly through the Relationship Assessment Programme (RAP) model (Lamming et al., 1996), as an interaction process between a customer firm and a supplier. We adopt this point of view in our paper aiming at shaping the outline of customer's ability to co-design with suppliers in New Product Development (NPD). We introduce two dimensions to specify this ability: Open-mindedness and Capability. We propose a self assessment audit tool based on a maturity grid approach to assess through both these dimensions the ability of a project team to successfully set up and manage the co-development process with the suppliers. Our proposition was built up with the collaboration of six French industrial manufacturers, partners of the PRAXIS research project (Performance in Relationships Adapted to eXtended Innovation with Suppliers).
