URANS SIMULATIONS OF THERMAL STRATIFICATION IN A LARGE ENCLOSURE FOR SEVERE ACCIDENT SCENARIOS

The introduction of a jet of fluid into a more or less stationary body fluid at a different temperature can lead to thermal stratification, and these processes are expected to be important in some severe nuclear accidents. Thermal stratification within the secondary containment could affect the ability of the containment to reject decay heat, for example. An ability to predict the behavior of the fluid under these circumstances is thus important. Such flows are complex, and computational fluid dynamics approaches are needed to resolve them, but they do present modeling challenges that go beyond those of more common ‘forced’ flows. In an effort to develop a computational methodology for CFD analyses of thermal stratification within large enclosures, the Twin Jet Water Facility (TJWF), discussed in previous works, was constructed to provide experimental data against which to assess the performance of various CFD modeling approaches. The TJWF allows for one or two heated jet(s) to enter vertically from below into a cooler pool of water, with either water recirculated, or with the water level allowed to rise. This work focuses on a single slender planar heated jet entering cooler water, and in which stratification is then seen to occur with a raising water level. In this study, CFD analyses using unsteady Reynolds averaged (URANS) turbulence models such as lowRe and SSTare conducted, and the experimental data from the TJWF for the same test cases are compared to the computational results. The modeling deficiencies and potential causes of errors arising from the use of each approach is discussed. The results and conclusions for this work provide guidance for URANS simulations of such circumstances. This work was performed using the CD-adapco’s STARCCM+ v9.04 CFD code.
Exploration of Common Clustering Methods and the Behavior of Certain Agreement Indices

Statistical clustering is an exploratory method for finding groups of unlabeled observations in potentially high dimensional space, where each group contains observations that are similar to each other in some meaningful way. There are several methods of clustering, with the most common including hierarchical clustering, k-means clustering and model-based clustering. Agreement indices are quantitative metrics that compare two partitions or groupings of data. In this paper, we introduce three clustering methods and compare their results using different agreement indices, after being applied to Fisher’s iris data, a classic clustering benchmark data set.
Printone : Interactive Resonance Simulation for Print-wind Instrument Design

We presents an interactive design interface for three-dimensional free-form musical wind instruments [1]. The sound of a wind instrument is governed by the acoustic resonance as a result of complicated interactions of sound waves and internal geometries of the instrument. Thus, creating an original free-form wind instrument by manual methods is a challenging problem. Our interface provides interactive sound simulation feedback as the user edits, allowing exploration of original wind instrument designs. Sound simulation of a three dimensional wind musical instrument is known to be computationally expensive. To overcome this problem, we present a novel fast resonance frequency prediction method based on the boundary element method. Specifically, we formulate the resonance problem as an minimum eigenvalue problem of a nonlinear matrix. Furthermore, we can efficiently compute an approximate resonance frequency using a new technique based on a generalized eigenvalue problem. The designs can be fabricated using a 3D printer, thus we call the results “print-wind instruments” in association with woodwind instruments. We demonstrate our approach with examples of unconventional shapes performing familiar songs.
‘ Toxic Wounds ’ of Gulf War 1 Patricia L

A lmost 23 million military Veterans in the United States are evaluating the availability, access, and feasibility of getting health services at the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), civilian community facilities, or possibly both (Mohler & Sankey-Deemer, 2017). Congress and the VHA are trying to improve access to private-sector health care for Veterans with different convenient programs (Philpott, 2017). As Veterans review their options, healthcare providers in civilian facilities should understand each Veteran’s military service “is unique and a life-altering experience” (Jennings, Melvin, & Belew, 2017, p. 455).
REALISATION OF AWGN CHANNEL EMULATION MODULES UNDER SISO AND SIMO ENVIRONMENTS FOR 4G LTE SYSTEMS

The testing of a wireless transmitter and receiver in the real-world channel is tedious. So, a channel emulator using FPGA helps in the testing of transmitter and receiver by providing a test environment that simulates a real-world wireless channel. Since FPGAs are flexible, cheap and reconfigurable, they are used in designing an AWGN channel emulator for 4G LTE for Single Input Single Output (SISO) and Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) environments. In this paper, three basic modules: transmitter, channel estimation and receiver modules are synthesized. In the transmitter module, the input data is 64QAM modulated and transmitted into the channel. In the channel estimation module, the transmitter data gets multiplied with the channel coefficients and then added with the noise present in the channel. In the receiver module, the data is detected using MMSE estimation. These are implemented in Virtex-5 device using PlanAhead tool and the Resource and Power Estimations are discussed.
Treatment and prognosis of WHO type A thymoma based on Masaoka-Koga stage

For WHO type A thymoma, recurrence or metastases are rare and a few cases have been reported previously. Treatment of recurrence or metastases A thymoma are still undefined. We explored the treatment and prognosis of patients with WHO type A thymoma from June 2006 to March 2016 in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Seven patients were included in this study. According to the Masaoka-Koga system, stage I in five patients, stage III and IV in 2 patients at diagnosis. Five stage I patients received surgery and were all alive without recurrence. The stage III patient received postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The stage IV patient received first line chemotherapy and efficacy evaluation was stable disease (SD). The 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates were 71.4% (5/7) and 100% (7/7), respectively. Our retrospective study indicated that Masaoka stage could affect the survival of patients with type A thymoma. And type A thymoma has potential in recurring or have malignant biological characteristics. However, disease progression in type A may be more slowly than other types such as type B or type C.

MODERATING EFFECT OF NORMATIVE INSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUSINESS STRATEGY AND HRM MODEL

This paper tests predictions from institutional and strategic choice theory perspectives about business strategy-HRM model relationship through a study of organizations located in Turkey. Results from a survey of 80 organizations primarily support an institutional approach to HRM. Business strategies focused on cost minimization and quality improvement were directly related to multiple practices of a soft HRM model, but subsequent analysis revealed that this main effect was the result of linking a HRM model with normative mechanism of institutional environment.
1 “ I ’ ve only just heard about it ” : Complementary and 2 Alternative Medicine Knowledge and Educational 3 Needs of Clinical Psychologists in Indonesia 4

Background and objectives: The inadequate knowledge of complementary and alternative 7 medicine (CAM) among health professionals may put their clients at risk because clients they then 8 would find information about CAM from unreliable sources. Clinical psychologists (CPs), as health 9 professionals, have also the opportunity to provide psychoeducation on the latest CAM scientific 10 research to their clients. The current study aimed to explore knowledge and educational needs of 11 CAM among CPs in Indonesia because previous studies on exploring CAM knowledge and 12 educational needs of CAM were primarily conducted in Western countries. Materials and Methods: 13 Data were collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 43 CPs in public health 14 centers (PHCs) in Indonesia. Most interviews were conducted at the PHCs where the participants 15 worked, and lasted for 55 minutes on average. The interview recordings were transcribed and were 16 analyzed using deductive thematic analysis. Results: Five main themes emerged within participants’ 17 responses regarding CAM knowledge and educational needs. First (CAM understanding), 18 participants’ responses ranged from those with little or no prior knowledge of CAM treatments and 19 uses, to those with much greater familiarity. Second (source of knowledge), participants’ access 20 ranged widely in terms of references, from popular to scientific literature. Third (why is it 21 important? ), participants identified CAM essentially as part of Indonesian culture and it was 22 therefore crucial to have this cultural knowledge. Fourth (the challenges and what is needed? ), the 23 challenges for improving participants’ knowledge came from personal and institutional levels. 24 Fifth (what and how to learn? ), participants advised that only CAM treatments that fit in brief 25 psychotherapy sessions should be introduced in professional training. Conclusions: This qualitative 26 study discovered that CAM was neither well-known nor understood widely. Participants advised 27 that professional associations and health institutions should work together in enhancing 28 knowledge of CAM and incorporating CAM education into psychology education. 29
CHAPTER 6 ICE-MARGINAL TERRESTRIAL LANDSYSTEMS : SOUTHERN LAURENTIDE ICE SHEET MARGIN

During the late glaciation, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) created the spectacular glacial landscape of northern North America. This landscape preserves a detailed record of the former ice-sheet size, subglacial bed conditions and ice-sheet behaviour. This chapter discusses the distribution of glacial landsystems that were created along the southern margin of the LIS in the northern USA during the late Wisconsin Glaciation (Fig. 6.1). As we show, landforms and sediments along the southern margin of the LIS are not randomly distributed but are arranged in patterns, which suggest that climate, topography, bed conditions and the resulting ice-sheet dynamics combined to yield distinct landsystems.
Adaptive Resource Allocation for Visible Light Communication Using Probabilistic Interference Model

Visible light communication has emerged as an efficient mean of utilization of wavelength for long range communication. In Visible light communication the energy detector logic for wavelength estimation is the most eminent part for estimation of used wavelength over unused wavelength. The estimation error rate for such a system is dependent on the probability based hypothetical estimation approach. Wherein conventional energy detectors make the probability estimation based on derived threshold, the error rate is purely dependent on the accuracy of the threshold limits. In this paper a biprobabilistic threshold modeling is proposed. The bi-probabilistic estimation approach presents an approach for non linearity factor consideration for secondary users in Visible Light communication. The obtained simulative observation illustrates the significance of bi-probabilistic estimator logic over conventional estimator logic. Keyword: Visible light, wavelength estimation, energy detector, biprobabilistic limits.

Number : Title : Magnesium binders as an alternative for hemp concrete , comparative study using life cycle assessment Article Type : Full Length Article Corresponding

To counter the negative environmental, particularly, greenhouse gas emission impact generated by the construction industry, many lowimpact materials are being produced and researched, having neutral CO2 emissions and also low thermal conductivity in case of insulation materials. One of these materials is lime-hemp concrete, a self-bearing bio-based insulation material with low thermal conductivity and good CO2 uptake but with weak mechanical properties. In the present work, alternative magnesium binders are proposed for hemp concrete to substitute the traditionally used lime binder, comparing the environmental impact of these binders with the focus on their global warming potential (GWP). In order to make the comparison, experimental mixtures with both proposed binder composites and traditionally used binder composites were produced and their mechanical and thermal properties tested. The magnesium binders showed promising results as these composites were approximately 2 times stronger having similar density and thermal conductivity. Afterwards the Life cycle assessment (LCA) was carried out to evaluate and compare the environmental impact of all of the tested composites. One of the proposed magnesium binders magnesium oxychloride cement showed promising results with bio-based filler, as their combined environmental impact was lower in most categories compared to lime-hemp concrete, and negative CO2 emissions of -37,38 kg CO2/m3 were achieved, which are similar to lime-hemp concrete. These negative CO2 emissions were achieved with biogenic CO2 uptake from hemp growth and low binder content, thus also achieving low thermal conductivity of 0,062 W/m2*K.

Fuzzy Based Grid-Tied PV System for Single Phase Transformer Less Inverter with Charge Pump Circuit Concept

: In this paper we are implementing a single phase transformer less photovoltaic inverter for grid connect PV system. To eliminate the leakage current, we are developing new topology in which concept of charge pump circuit is introduced. In this paper, for controlling purpose we are utilizing Fuzzy Logic Controller. Comparison of Fuzzy Logic Controller with other controller has been discussed. The neutral of the grid is directly connected to the negative polarity of the PV panel that creates a constant common mode voltage and zero leakage current. During the negative cycle, the charge pump circuit generates the negative output voltage of the proposed inverter. Therefore, according to the proportional resonant control strategy is used to control the injected current. There are various advantages of the proposed inverter they are the neutral of the grid is directly connected to the negative terminal of the PV panel, so the leakage current is eliminated, its compact size; low cost; the used dc voltage of the proposed inverter is the same as the full-bridge inverter (unlike neutral point clamped (NPC), active NPC, and half-bridge inverters); flexible grounding configuration; capability of reactive power flow; and high efficiency. By using simulation result we can verify the concept of the proposed inverter and its practical application in grid-tied PV systems.
Quality Category Matrix to Ensure the Quality of Software Product

This research work is to describe some issues and their solutions with respect to quality management of software products. Software is the only type of product which is famous for the internal complexity and providing a quality in software products is more difficult. So Quality should be managed, at the beginning stage of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). In general, No one can give guarantee that a product is a quality product, until all the modules, components of product are tested by the teams and until they approved that the product is high-quality product. While doing integration of components, problems can comes, so iterative approach of Software Quality implementation and testing required during Integration, which should ensure the quality throughout the development process of product. In this paper I proposed an iterative solution for performing testing for ensure the quality with in software products. ‘Quality Category Matrix’ is proposed for monitoring the quality internally during each artifact development. Regardless the fact that in world many standards (ISO 9126), process improvement practices (CMM) and Models (MC call’s FURPS) exist for the quality assurance of software products. But existence and implementation of quality in the software products is still an issue in software development. Professional software Developers are still looking for better solution for putting into practice new approaches to ensure the quality. Keywords—Quality, artifacts, category .
TOWARDS ASSESSING INFORMATION QUALITY IN KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

With regard to the success stories of Web 2.0 based knowledge centers such as the online encyclopedia Wikipedia [54] companies have begun to enrich their corporate knowledge management with Web 2.0 technologies, hoping to benefit from increasing flows of information. Besides information quantity, the quality of information is a key factor determining the return on investment of such Enterprise 2.0 platforms. In this context we will discuss requirements for the concept of information quality, identify important differences to the Web 2.0 environment and also elaborate on the basic design of a system assessing information quality in an Enterprise 2.0 context. We will thereby integrate implicit user feedback and explain the key benefits of this novel approach.
An Adaptive MAC (A-MAC) Protocol Guaranteeing Network Lifetime for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a wide range of potential applications, a majority of which may be required to survive for a pre-configured lifetime since it is hard or costly to re-deploy sensor nodes to where a sensing hole has taken place. A sensing hole may occur when specific nodes suffer more traffic load than others and thus exhaust initially supplied energy. We propose an adaptive MAC (A-MAC) protocol for WSNs to tackle the sensing hole problem, which keeps the entire network operating for a required lifetime. The main concern in designing A-MAC is two-folded: guaranteeing the pre-configured network lifetime, and reducing end-to-end latency. In order to achieve both goals, A-MAC introduces an adaptive duty cycle depending on ratio of the remaining energy to the initially supplied energy considering the pre-configured lifetime. The more energy a node has, the more frequently the node will wake up and hence fasten relaying data. As a consequence, each node is expected to run out of energy around the end of the pre-configured network lifetime. Also, nodes with more energy are utilized to reduce the end-to-end delay. Simulation results exhibit significantly lower latency of A-MAC while guaranteeing the pre-configured network lifetime.
FATIGUE ASSESSMENT OF KNEE JOINTS SUBJECT TO TOTAL ARTHROPLASTY

Total knee arthroplasty has become quite widesprea d, especially among patients of 70+ years. Unfortunately, failure of this surgery is not so un common. As a result, a revision surgery is sometime s needed, resulting in a great ordeal for patients. One of th e major causes of this failure is the aseptic loose ning of either the tibial or the femoral component, with that of t he tibial component being more common. Our goal is to evaluate the performance of metallic knee implants used in total knee arthroplasty. More specifically, the aim is to identify critical areas of failure and the preva lent failure mechanisms due to fatigue. A probabili stic analysis will follow, in order to calculate the probability of failure as a function of walking cycles and load s on the knee joint.In the end, it will become possible to predic t the likelihood of implant failure in the course o f a patient’s lifetime. It will also be possible to determine the probability of failure depending on the patient’s habits and, as a result, how much the patient is allowed to stress the joint after the surgery depending on his/her w ight. Similarly, the calculations will offer decision sup port on how much, if any, weight he/she should lose in order to lessen the probability of failure to an acceptable level. Ultimately, rehabilitation becomes more pati en -specific and, therefore, likely much easier and less time-co nsuming.
