Multi-Stage Optimization of Induction Machines Using Methods for Model and Parameter Selection

Optimization methods are increasingly used for the design process of electrical machines. The quality of the optimization result and the necessary simulation effort depend on the optimization methods, machine models and optimization parameters used. This paper presents a multi-stage optimization environment for the design optimization of induction machines. It uses the strategies of simulated annealing, evolution strategy and pattern search. Artificial neural networks are used to reduce the solution effort of the optimization. The selection of the electromagnetic machine model is made in each optimization stage using a methodical model selection approach. The selection of the optimization parameters is realized by a methodical parameter selection approach. The optimization environment is applied on the basis of an optimization for the design of an electric traction machine using the example of an induction machine and its suitability for the design of a machine is verified by a comparison with a reference machine.
Association between Breastfeeding Attitudes and Postpartum Depression among Mothers with Premature Infants during COVID-19 Pandemic

Breastfeeding is the best form of feeding for premature infants. However, mothers with premature delivery are frequently reported to be depressed, and this has been especially the case during the Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We aimed to measure the level of breastfeeding attitude and its association with postpartum depression among mothers with premature infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 248 mothers with a premature infant were observed in this cross-sectional study from the chosen NICUs of government hospitals in Selangor, Malaysia. The Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Score (IIFAS) and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, along with sociodemographic questionnaires, were used to obtain information on the mothers’ attitudes towards breastfeeding and the risk of postpartum depression. A higher percentage of mothers had a positive attitude towards breastfeeding (64.9%), with a mean IIFAS score of 66.30 ± 6.92. Meanwhile, about 27% of mothers with premature infants were reported to have high risk of depressive symptoms. Mothers with a high risk of depression were less likely to have a positive attitude towards breastfeeding (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.199, 0.675) as compared to mothers with a low risk of depression (p < 0.01). We found that there is an association between the risk of depression and the attitude towards breastfeeding. Early identification of maternal mental health problems should be addressed to ensure the willingness of mothers to continue breastfeeding.
Numerical investigation of thermo-hydraulic transport characteristics of two-dimensional, steady flow through partially porous wavy channel

Abstract A comprehensive numerical analysis has been implemented to delineate the transport characteristics for flow of Newtonian fluid inside a channel with a porous slab and internal wavy walls. The heat transfer rate and pressure drop are observed to be augmented with the increasing Reynold number, Darcy number, and wavy wall’s amplitude. Overall, change in Nusselt number and pressure drop is also assessed in relation to enhancement ratio and performance factor for the present wavy channel in comparison to the equivalent straight channel. Moreover, the enhancement ratio (ER) is greater than 7.5 for Da = 10−5 and Re = 200 which attains maximum value of 10.8 for Da = 10−2 and Re = 1200.
Robust Pulse Rate Measurements from Facial Videos in Diverse Environments

Pulse wave and pulse rate are important indicators of cardiovascular health. Technologies that can check the pulse by contacting the skin with optical sensors built into smart devices have been developed. However, this may cause inconvenience, such as foreign body sensation. Accordingly, studies have been conducted on non-contact pulse rate measurements using facial videos focused on the indoors. Moreover, since the majority of studies are conducted indoors, the error in the pulse rate measurement in outdoor environments, such as an outdoor bench, car and drone, is high. In this paper, to deal with this issue, we focus on developing a robust pulse measurement method based on facial videos taken in diverse environments. The proposed method stably detects faces by removing high-frequency components of face coordinate signals derived from fine body tremors and illumination conditions. It optimizes for extracting skin color changes by reducing illumination-caused noise using the Cg color difference component. The robust pulse wave is extracted from the Cg signal using FFT–iFFT with zero-padding. It can eliminate signal-filtering distortion effectively. We demonstrate that the proposed method relieves pulse rate measurement problems, producing 3.36, 5.81, and 6.09 bpm RMSE for an outdoor bench, driving car, and flying drone, respectively.
Determining Trustworthiness of Health Information Shared in Social Networking Sites (SNS)

This study investigates the level of trustworthiness of health information shared in Social Networking Sites (SNS) by examining three main factors namely benevolence, integrity and ability. The research adopted survey approach where a questionnaire has been tailored to ascertain the level of trustworthiness of health information shared via SNS. The questionnaire was distributed among health administration staff in IIUM Medical Center and the respondents were randomly selected. The collected questionnaire was than analysed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive statistics was used to obtain the frequency and percentage of the respondent profile. Finding of the research was obtained by using reliability analysis, frequency analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis.

Analysis outcome indicate the hypothesis testing of the relationship between three (3) variables with trustworthiness of health information is significant. The variables benevolence and integrity have a positive relationship with trustworthiness while variable ability have a negative relationship with trustworthiness. Between all three factors, result show that the most influential factor towards trustworthiness is benevolence.
Linear relationship between effective radius and precipitation water content near the top of convective clouds

Abstract. Quantifying the precipitation within clouds is a crucial challenge to improve our current understanding of the Earth’s hydrological cycle. We have investigated the relationship between the effective radius of droplets and ice particles (re) and precipitation water content (PWC) measured by cloud probes near the top of growing convective cumuli. The data for this study were collected by aircraft measurements in clean and polluted conditions over the Amazon Basin and over the western tropical Atlantic in September 2014. Our results indicate a threshold of re ∼ 13 μm for warm rain initiation in convective clouds, which is in agreement with previous studies. In clouds over the Atlantic Ocean, warm rain starts at smaller re, likely linked to the enhancement of coalescence of drops formed on giant cloud condensation nuclei. In cloud passes where precipitation starts as ice hydrometeors, the threshold of re is also shifted to values smaller than 13 μm when coalescence processes are suppressed and precipitating particles are formed by accretion. We found a statistically significant linear relationship between PWC and re for measurements at cloud tops, with a correlation coefficient of ∼0.94. The tight relationship between re and PWC was established only when particles with sizes large enough to precipitate (drizzle and raindrops) are included in calculating re. Our results emphasize for the first time that re is a key parameter to determine both initiation and amount of precipitation at the top of convective clouds.
Diversity and Distribution of Culturable Thermus Species in Terrestrial Hot Springs of Southwestern Yunnan Province in China

The Yunnan geothermal area has many neutral and alkalescent thermal springs. Members of the genus Thermus have been found in thermal environments. In this study, we attempted to cultivate numerically abundant Thermus species using a variety of different strategies. A total of 223 strains of Thermus-like bacteria were isolated from seventeen hot spring samples of four geothermal regions (Baoshan, Dali, Lincang and Dehong). These strains were classified into two genera, Thermus and Meiothermus, based on 16S rDNA. The optimal isolation temperature of the Thermus genus was 63–70 °C. The highest Thermus diversity was found at 63 °C. Thermus brockianus was a universal culturable bacterium in the four geothermal regions. The principal component analysis (PCA) showed that T. oshimai preferred to inhabit the hot springs of the Baoshan (Bs) geothermal region, and T. amyloliquefaciens dominated the Dali (Dl) geothermal region, whereas T. tengchongensis accumulated in the Lincang (Lc) and Dehong (Dh) geothermal regions. The results suggested that Thermus species had habitat-preferable characteristics among the four geothermal regions. The findings may help identify the niche from which Thermus strains can likely be isolated.

Failure Analysis of Wind Turbine Planetary Gear

The article presents selected problems related to an analysis of damage to wind turbine planetary gear. It is the most vital element installed in wind turbines, affecting the operational costs (prolonged downtime), and costs of repairs and servicing including delivery of required components. The authors have analyzed the wear/failure of planetary gear. The process initiating fatigue wear, different from similar devices in other industries, can be easily observed in wind turbine gear. This establishes a specific direction of research into the causes, and early detection of ‘gas spots’ on gear teeth as they seem to trigger fatigue wear.
Isolation and Characterization of Vibrio kanaloae as a Major Pathogen Associated with Mass Mortalities of Ark Clam, Scapharca broughtonii, in Cold Season

High temperature is a risk factor for vibriosis outbreaks. Most vibrios are opportunistic pathogens that cause the mortality of aquatic animals at the vibrio optimal growth temperature (~25 °C), whereas a dominant Vibrio kanaloae strain SbA1-1 is isolated from natural diseased ark clams (Scapharca broughtonii) during cold seasons in this study. Consistent symptoms and histopathological features reappeared under an immersion infection with SbA1-1 performed at 15 °C. The pathogenicity difference of SbA1-1 was assessed under different temperatures (15 °C and 25 °C). The cumulative mortality rates of ark clams were significantly higher at the low temperature (15 °C) than at the high temperature (25 °C); up to 98% on 16th day post SbA1-1 infection. While the growth ratio of SbA1-1 was retarded at the low temperature, the hemolytic activity and siderophores productivity of SbA1-1 were increased. This study constitutes the first isolation of V. kanaloae from the natural diseased ark clams (S. broughtonii) in cold seasons and the exposition of the dissimilar pathogenicity of SbA1-1 at a different temperature. All the above indicates that V. kanaloae constitutes a threat to ark clam culture, especially in cold seasons.
A novel analytical approach to study the charging characteristics of a shell and tube thermal energy storage system

This study presents a novel analytical solution of the phase change problem in a shell and tube arrangement of latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) system. The transient melting behavior of phase change material (PCM) is captured using time‐dependent boundary conditions and moving interface energy equation. An approximate mathematical model is developed with the help of dimensionless number (η), exponential integral function, Lambert W function, and Swamee and Oijha approximation. The proposed analytical solution is used for investigating the thermal performance of low, medium, and high melting temperature PCM for building, solar absorption cooling, and concentrated solar power (CSP) applications, respectively. The results obtained from the analytical approach are compared with a numerical model based on the enthalpy method. It is found that the root mean square difference between the average PCM temperature obtained from analytical solution and detailed numerical analysis is 3.3°C, 1.2°C, and 0.1°C for the low, medium, and high‐temperature systems, respectively. The temporal variation of melt front position and the effect of inner tube temperature are further investigated using the analytical solution. The mathematical model could be proposed as an effective tool for the assessment of shell and tube LHTES systems.

Impact of A Co-taught Handwriting Intervention for Kindergarten Children in A School Setting: A Pilot, Single Cohort Study

ABSTRACT Write Start is a co-taught, whole of class approach to handwriting instruction developed for students in grade one and delivered collaboratively by teachers and occupational therapists. Write Start emphasizes the development of handwriting fluency utilizing evidence-based cognitive and perceptual motor strategies within a station-based teaching approach. This pilot study assessed the impact of a modified Write Start on handwriting fluency in Australian kindergarten students (first year of formal schooling), and investigated the effects of early literacy on intervention outcomes using a retrospective analysis of existing clinical data. Participants were kindergarten students (n = 81; mean age = 65.9 months) attending a large independent primary school in a regional metropolitan center. Participants received the modified Write Start, over one school term, in two x 45 minute sessions per week for 8 weeks. Handwriting fluency was measured pre- and post-intervention using a researcher-designed tool, the Letter Form Assessment (LFA), based on and extending commonly used measures. LFA scores for the whole cohort were significantly higher post-intervention, indicating improved handwriting after the intervention (Z = −4.457, p < .0001). In order to determine if school entry ability impacted responsiveness to the intervention, students were assigned to a high or low performing tier based on scores from three early literacy skills measured by teachers as part of routine assessment at school entry (n = 70). There was no effect of Low or High Tier literacy skills groupings on change to LFA score for phonics (f (19, 50) = 1.11, p = . 36), phonemic awareness (f (19,50) = 1.32, p = . 21) or writing (f (19,50) = 0.59, p = . 89). The modified Write Start shows promise as an effective intervention for kindergarten handwriting, however further revisions and testing should address the potential impact of literacy and the interrelationship of perceptual motor and cognitive skills on outcomes.
Alternative Dietary Patterns for Americans: Low-Carbohydrate Diets

The decades-long dietary experiment embodied in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) focused on limiting fat, especially saturated fat, and higher carbohydrate intake has coincided with rapidly escalating epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) that are contributing to the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other diet-related chronic diseases. Moreover, the lack of flexibility in the DGA as it pertains to low carbohydrate approaches does not align with the contemporary trend toward precision nutrition. We argue that personalizing the level of dietary carbohydrate should be a high priority based on evidence that Americans have a wide spectrum of metabolic variability in their tolerance to high carbohydrate loads. Obesity, metabolic syndrome, and T2D are conditions strongly associated with insulin resistance, a condition exacerbated by increased dietary carbohydrate and improved by restricting carbohydrate. Low-carbohydrate diets are grounded across the time-span of human evolution, have well-established biochemical principles, and are now supported by multiple clinical trials in humans that demonstrate consistent improvements in multiple established risk factors associated with insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently recognized a low carbohydrate eating pattern as an effective approach for patients with diabetes. Despite this evidence base, low-carbohydrate diets are not reflected in the DGA. As the DGA Dietary Patterns have not been demonstrated to be universally effective in addressing the needs of many Americans and recognizing the lack of widely available treatments for obesity, metabolic syndrome, and T2D that are safe, effective, and sustainable, the argument for an alternative, low-carbohydrate Dietary Pattern is all the more compelling.
Phylogeny of the Basal Lineages of Suborder Brachycera (Diptera) in Egypt

The phylogenetic relationships among 26 taxa of Brachycera (Diptera) beside one outgroup taxa of Nematocera were studied using cladistic analysis and one PCR-amplified DNA gene segments (28S). The cladistics analysis was applied by Mesquite program (using 216 multistate characters). The taxa were sampled from various areas of Egypt. The morphometric analysis and phenotypic features were determined for the all selected brachyceran taxa to reveal the phylogenetic relationships among them. The resulted cladogram showed high degree of variations and affinities (Similarity coeffeciant ranged from 53.8 to 97.8%). We have sequenced 205 bp of 28S gene of all taxa and the comparison of the nucleotide compositions found allows phylogenetic analyses of the suborder. The estimated net nucleotide sequence divergence among the taxa examined was found to range from 0.00 to 0.7% as an affinity. Cluster analysis based on both morphometric and sequence data showed less variation than morphometric data only (Similarity coeffeciant ranged from 60.6 to 82.5%) of the 27 taxa. The trees obtained from combined datasets (morphology/28S gene) using (Parsimony method) revealed the radiation of the basal lineages of the suborder.
Feature-Based Compliance Control for Precise Peg-in-Hole Assembly

This article focuses on solving the problem of precise peg-in-hole assembly. The main contribution of this article is to propose a control method to improve the assembly precision. The method is capable to realize the precise insertion assembly tasks of cylindrical or prismatic objects with clearance or interference fit. In this article, a feature space and a response space are first constructed according to the relative pose and equivalent forces and moments. Then, the contact states are segmented in the feature space and the segmentation boundaries are mapped into the response space. Furthermore, a feature-based compliance control (FBCC) method is proposed based on boundary mapping. In FBCC method, a direction matrix is designed to execute accurate adjustment and an integral element is applied to eliminate residual responses. Finally, the simulations and experiments demonstrate the superiority and robustness of FBCC method.
From vision to innovation: new service development through front-line employee engagement

ABSTRACT This article investigates how service companies might engage frontline employees in transforming a market vision into a new service routine. This is a major challenge given the separation between those making decisions at the managerial level and those interacting with customers, ultimately enabling the service experience. Through interviews and observations, we capture the mechanisms and practices that emerged in an in-depth case study of a radical service innovation anchored in a new market vision. Our findings show that frontline employee engagement in the innovation process has to be triggered by managers, thereafter unfolding naturally in cycles of proactive behaviour and experimentation. The emerging routinisation process allows transitioning from the definition of a new vision to new routines through guiding and building on employees’ experience and proactive behaviour, institutionalising the new practices that ultimately lead to radical service innovation. This study contributes to the service innovation literature by merging two very different sources of knowledge, namely vague, intangible, and radically new visions, and practical and tacit frontline employee experiences usually associated with incremental innovation.
