Airfoil Anemometer With Integrated Flexible Piezo-Capacitive Pressure Sensor

Demand is expected to accelerate for autonomous air vehicles that transport people and goods, making wind sensors on these vehicles and in the air space where they operate critical to ensure safe control of many simultaneous take-offs and landings. Conventional anemometers such as pitot tubes as well as rotating, heated-element, acoustic, and drag technologies have drawbacks for small and micro-aerial vehicles including high power consumption, high aerodynamic drag, complex signal processing, and high cost. This paper presents an airfoil-shaped anemometer that provides low drag while integrating sensors for measuring wind speed and direction on tethered kites, balloons, and drones. Wind speed is measured by an integrated dual-layer capacitive pressure sensor with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) diaphragm while wind direction is measured by a 3D digital magnetometer that senses the orientation of the airfoil relative to the earth’s magnetic field. A model is presented for a dual-layer capacitive sensor and validated through quasistatic pressure chamber testing. The capacitive sensor as well as a commercial digital magnetometer are integrated into a NACA 2412 profile airfoil and tested in a laboratory-scale wind tunnel. The capacitive sensor provides a sensitivity of 1.84 fF m2s−2 and the airfoil exhibits a unique stable angle-of-attack to within ±2° as measured by the magnetometer.
A Forensic Autopsy Case Belonging To The Nineteenth Century In Turkey

Although Turkish medicine had sovereignty all over the world starting from the Middle Ages to the seventeenth century, it was remained behind the developments in medicine in parallel with the regression of Ottoman Empire. Related with this situation, anatomy, which is one of the most important fields of the medicine, has also prevented the development of other fields related to anatomy. The development of autopsy in Ottoman period which describes the procedures made in order to determine especially the medical causes of deaths has remained behind when compared to the studies performed in west. The studies started after the permission taken in order to study on cadavers has led to developments in anatomy and its education in parallel with pathological anatomy as well as in forensic medicine which provides collaboration of medicine and law. In this study, the importance of autopsy, except in anatomic studies, in determination of death cause is considered and a forensic autopsy case was investigated from Ottoman period in 19th century.
CHARACTERIZATION AND EX-VIVO SKIN PERMEATION STUDY OF DOMPERIDONE MALEATE TRANSDERMAL PATCH

The present study was designed to develop a suitable matrix type transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) of domperidone maleate using blends of three different polymeric combinations of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and ethylcellulose (EC). Physical studies including moisture content, moisture uptake and flatness to study the stability of the formulations were performed. In-vitro dissolution as well as ex-vivo skin permeation studies of the experimental formulations were also performed. Ex-vivo skin permeation study was conducted across the depilated rat abdominal skin using a modified Franz’s diffusion cell. Drug-excipient interaction studies were carried out using TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) method. All the formulations were found to be suitable for formulating in terms of physicochemical characteristics and there was no significant interaction noticed between the drug and polymers used. It was observed that as the concentration of the hydrophilic polymer (PVP) increased in the formulation, the rate of dissolution increased subsequently and the best result found for the polymer ratio PVP:EC, 3:5. From the study of release mechanism, it was found that the Higuchi plot showed reasonably straight line with high correlation coefficient. Ex-vivo skin permeation study also shows that the permeation of the drug (Domperidone maleate) through the depilated rat abdominal skin was reasonably better in the formulation where PVP concentration was high. It was also found that there was no significant reaction developed during the contact of patch with the dermis. Hence, it can be reasonably concluded that domperidone maleate can be formulated into the transdermal matrix type patches to sustain its release characteristics and the polymeric composition (PVP:EC, 3:5) was found to be the best choice for manufacturing transdermal patches of domperidone maleate among the formulations studied.
Damping Injection by Reset Control

This paper presents a method for using reset control as an alternative way of obtaining dissipation for a class of port-Hamiltonian systems. One advantage of this approach is the simplicity of its implementation, which requires only a velocity observer. Another advantage is its robustness to modeling uncertainties, since it can be calculated independently of the plant structure. A gantry crane is selected as case study, yielding simulation and experimental results that show the good performance of this technique.
Faint supernovae and supernova impostors: case studies of SN 2002kg/NGC 2403-V37 and SN 2003gm

Photometric and spectroscopic observations of the faint Supemovae (SNe) 2002kg and 2003gm, and their precursors, in NGC 2403 and NGC 5334 respectively, are presented. The properties of these SNe are discussed in the context of previously proposed scenarios for faint SNe: low mass progenitors producing under-energetic SNe; SNe with ejecta constrained by a circumstellar medium; and outbursts of massive Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs). The last scenario has been referred to as “Type V SNe”, “SN impostors” or “fake SNe. ” The faint SN 2002kg reached a maximum brightness of MV = -9 . 6 , much fainter than nor­ mal type II SNe. The precursor of SN 2002kg is confirmed to be, as shown in previous work, the LBV NGC2403-V37. Late time photometry of SN 2002kg shows it to be only 0.6 mag­ nitudes fainter at 500 days than at the epoch of discovery. Two spectra of SN 2002kg, with an approximately 1 year interval between observations, show only minor differences. Strong Fell lines are observed in the spectra of SN 2002kg, similar to both the LBV NGC2363-V1 and the type Iln SN 1995G. The spectrum of SN 2002kg does show strong resolved [NII] at AA6549,6583 A . The identified progenitor of SN 2003gm is a bright yellow star, consistent with a F5-G2 supergiant, similar to the identified progenitor of SN 2004et. SN 2003gm, at the epoch of discovery, was of similar brightness to the possible fake SN 1997bs and the type IIP SNe 1999br and 2005cs. Photometrically SN 2003gm shows the same decrease in bright­ ness, over the same time period as SN 1997bs. The light curve and the spectral properties of SN 2003gm are also consistent with some intrinsically faint and low velocity type II SN. The early time spectra of SN 2003gm are dominated by Balmer emission lines, which at the observed resolution, appear similar to SN 2000ch. On the basis of the post-discovery photo­ metric and spectroscopic observations presented here we suggest that SN 2003gm is a similar event to SN 1997bs, although the SN/Lb V nature of both of these objects is debated. At 226 days post-discovery the spectrum of SN 2003gm is strongle contaminated by HII region emis­ sion lines, and it cannot be confirmed that the precursor star has disappeared. The presence of strong [NII] lines, near H a, is suggested as a possible means of identifying objects such as SN 2002kg/NGC2403-V37 as being LBVs - although not as a general classification criterion of all LBVs masquerading as SNe.
Life-cycle assessment , comparison of biopolymer and traditional diaper systems

Growing space problems accompanying urbanisation and rise in the standard of living have motivated the development of measures to reduce waste production. One such measure is the development of biodegradable materials which can be treated in composts and so recycled. A lot of valuable space is thus saved. The polymer discussed in this study is also made from renewable raw-material, which increases its attraction and makes it particularly interesting from the life cycle point of view. The landfill capacity saved is counterbalanced by land needs and emissions of agricultural production. Thus, an objective judgement on the environmental performance of such a product needs to be based on its whole life cycle. In this study the environmental impacts of a new biopolymer product over its whole life cycle were assessed and compared to those of a conventional plastic product. The study is built on diaper products, because they are assumed to have a significant role in the growth of the future markets of biodegradable materials. The biodegradable polymer, polylactide, is based on lactic acid produced by fermentation from carbohydrate sources. Consequently, the appropriate system extends to agricultural production. The life cycle of conventional plastic starts from crude oil production and refining. Both product systems include the production of the diaper with its components. The phase of waste management comprises biological treatment, incineration and landfilling as alternatives. Several scenarios were formed to study the effects of variable options in the life cycle of diapers, especially in that based on the new product. The characteristic variables chosen for the scenarios were technology, waste utilisation intensity, location and raw materials. Geographical or agricultural policy aspects were not considered. An important outcome of the study is that differences between the impacts of the traditional and the biodegradable diaper systems are small. The fluff component (70%) of the diaper turned out to be dominant in most environmental stressors. In most scenarios a polyolefin based diaper is slightly better, but the results are not far from each other. The most important phases in the life cycle of polylactide are agricultural production and fermentation to lactic acid. The biodegradable diaper waste can be converted into compost products, which can be used to enhance soil quality and partly to substitute

Interactions between pea seed-borne mosaic virus pathotype 1 and Pisum sativum resistance gene sbm-1

approved: Richard 0. Hampton Pea seed-borne mosaic potyvirus pathotype 1 (PSbMV-P1) has the ability to infect most genotypes of Pisum sativum. The exception are those genotypes that are homozygous recessive for the sbm-1 gene. The life cycle of PSbMV pathotype 4 (PSbMV-P4) is unaffected by the sbm-1/sbm-1 genotype. Infectious clones of Pl-P4 recombinants were used to define the genomic segment in P1 that is inhibited by the sbm-1 gene. Transcripts generated in vitro from these clones were initially tested for infectivity by mechanical inoculation onto the susceptible genotype Early Freezer 680 (EF680). Those recombinants that proved to be infectious were then tested for pathogenicity to PI269818, a sbm-1 /sbm-1 genotype. The P4 genomic substitution, which enabled P1 to infect PI269818, was made progressively smaller until one PSbMV-P1 coding region was established as the determinant for infectivity in PI269818. This study demonstrated that the VPg Redacted for Privacy coding region is responsible for the inability of PSbMV-P1 to infect PI269818. Whether P1 life cycle disruption occurred at the nucleotide or amino acid levels is unknown. In conjunction with the definition of the P1 coding region inhibited by sbm-1, the point of virus life-cycle disruption was investigated. PSbMV-P1 resistant plants were inoculated with P1 purified virus or RNA. A time line of infection was established for inoculated and noninoculated leaves. Protoplasts generated from P1 susceptibleand resistant-plant leaves were transfected with P1 RNA, followed by ELISA testing for presence of P1 coat protein. Whereas P1 RNA was fully infectious to EF680 protoplasts, P1 coat protein was undetectable in PI269818 protoplasts transfected with P1 RNA. RT-PCR of RNA extracted from PI269818 P1 inoculated leaves revealed no P1 RNA amplification. When P1 inoculated PI269818 leaves were used to inoculate EF680, no viral infection was detected. These results suggest that a complete lack of P1 replication is occurring in sbm-1 /sbm-1 peas. The potyviral VPg protein has been implicated in viral replication. This study demonstrates that the VPg is the determinant of P1 pathogenicity in PI269818 and consistent with the proposed role of VPg in viral replication, PSbMV-P1 viral life-cycle disruption in the sbm-1/sbm-1 genotype occurs at an early time in viral replication.

A recombinant protein corresponding to the putative heme-binding domain of assimilatory NADH : nitrate reductase from Chlorella vulgaris

A recombinant protein corresponding to the putative heme-binding domain of assimilatory NADH:nitrate reductase from Chlorella vulgaris has been expressed and purified from transformed Escherichia coli BL21 cells. The recombinant protein, exhibited a subunit molecular mass of approximately 10 kDa with a Nterminal sequence beginning with the residues PAGA in agreement with that predicted by cDNA analysis. The UV-visible spectrum of the protein confirmed the incorporation of heme with maxima at 413 nm and 423, 528, and 557 nm for the oxidized and reduced forms, respectively. Circular dichroism spectra indicated the environment of the heme chromophore was very similar to that of the native enzyme. Potentiometric titrations of the recombinant heme domain yielded a midpoint potential of +16 mV (n = 1, pH 7), substantially higher than the values of -160 mV obtained for the native enzyme and -28 mV obtained for a previously expressed recombinant heme domain that contained part of the Mo-pterin domain. These results indicate that portions of the amino acid sequence that are involved in the formation of the Mo-pterin domain of Chlorella nitrate reductase influence the redox potential of the heme prosthetic group.
A comparison of H323 and SIP based Architectures for VoIP Systems

Communicating via packet data networks, such as IP, has become a preferred strategy for both corporate and public network planners. Predictions have been made that data traffic will soon exceed telephone traffic, if it hasn’t already. At the same time, more and more companies are seeing the value of their IP telephony networks (IP telephony) to reduce telephone and facsimile costs and to set the stage for advanced multimedia applications. Providing high quality telephony over IP networks is one of the key steps in the convergence of voice, fax, video, and data communications services. IP telephony has now been proven feasible; the race is on to adopt standards, design terminals and gateways, and begin the rollout of services on a global scale. Although PSTN and IP networks are fundamentally different in terms of routing and performance, it is possible for the networks to be connected, exchanging voice and data traffic. We have considered two protocols for Internet telephony: the H.323 designed by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). We will present how the protocols have been designed to solve different problems of signalling and some issues that are addressed by both protocols will be compared.
Природные и техногенные катастрофы: последствия для населения и экономики

Функционирование экономических систем сопряжено с рядом рисков, реализация которых способна привести к временным нарушениям или полному разрушению налаженного порядка взаимодействия хозяйствующих субъектов разного уровня. Особую группу среди лежащих в основе подобных рисков событий занимают катастрофы природного и техногенного характера. Специфика российской ситуации (огромная территория, высокий уровень износа производственных фондов и объектов инфраструктуры, недостаточное внимание к развитию человеческого капитала и т. д.) определяет необходимость особых мер в отношении снижения подверженности населения и экономики рискам природных и техногенных катастроф. Решение этой задачи приобретает все большую актуальность в связи с учащающимися случаями реализации данных рисков и ростом сопряженного с ними ущерба. В статье представлен анализ влияния природных и техногенных катастроф на национальное хозяйство, рассмотрены их последствия для различных отраслей, а также для населения страны. Кроме того, авторы выделяют причины, обуславливающие повышенную подверженность ряда сфер российской экономики рискам природных бедствий и техногенных катастроф.

Principles of wide bandwidth acoustic detectors and the single-mass DUAL detector

We apply the standard theory of the elastic body to obtain a set of equations describing the behavior of an acoustic Gravitational Wave detector, fully taking into account the 3-dimensional properties of the mass, the readout and the signal. We show that the advantages given by a Dual detector made by two nested oscillators can also be obtained by monitoring two different acoustic modes of the same oscillator, thus easing the detector realization. We apply these concepts and by means of an optimization process we derive the main figures of such a single-mass Dual detector designed specifically for the frequency interval 2 −5 kHz. Finally we calculate the SQL sensitivity of this detector.
Characteristics of Pro-c Analogies and Blends between Research Publications

Dr Inventor is a tool that aims to enhance the professional (Pro-c) creativity of researchers by suggesting novel hypotheses, arising from analogies between publications. Dr Inventor processes original research documents using a combination of lexical analysis and cognitive computation to identify novel comparisons that suggest new research hypotheses, with the objective of supporting a novel research publication. Research on analogical reasoning strongly suggests that the value of analogy-based comparisons depends primarily on the strength of the mapping (or counterpart projection) between the two analogs. An evaluation study of a number of computer generated comparisons attracted creativity ratings from a group of practising researchers. This paper explores a variety of theoretically motivated metrics operating on different conceptual spaces, identifying some weak associations with user's creativity ratings. Surprisingly, our results show that metrics focused on the mapping appear to have less relevance to creativity than metrics assessing the inferences (blended space). This paper includes a brief description of a research project currently exploring the best research hypothesis generated during this evaluation. Finally, we explore PCA as a means of specifying a combined multiple metrics from several blending spaces as a basis for detecting comparisons to enhance researchers’ creativity.

Partisanship and Policy Choice

Leftists seem to be on the rise in Latin America, but it is unclear to what extent this impacts policy. Thus, a crucial question hangs over this apparent “shift” in regional preferences: does the left have any real options to offer? Or in Latin America in an age of globalization, “what's left for the left? ” The contending perspectives are compared, and then the evidence is evaluated using a series of econometric models. In sum, no discernible policy differences between the left and the rest were found. In the conclusion, the implications of this result for Latin American democracy are discussed.
Notes on Tango ( as ) Queer ( Commodity )

In this paper, I reflect on queer (non-heteronormative) interests in tango. Puzzled, I wonder why tango, an icon of hyper-heteronormative ‘love’, attracts dancers with queer sensibilities. In order to begin exploring answers, I look into tango as a commodity, composed of aesthetics and affects, which circulates as a fetish that can be consumed in globalisation unhinged from its socio-cultural moorings, gaining power precisely in its transgressive performance of same gender, counter-heteronormative ‘passion’. I will look into the queer milongas of Buenos Aires attending to local and foreign dancers, into the presence of same gender dancers in regular Buenos Aires milongas and the traditional milongueros/ as’ responses to male and female tango partnering; and into queer tango expectations shared at a conference in Berlin in 2008 and a queer tango festival in Buenos Aires in 2010. Questions throughout, and only begun to be addressed, include: How does capitalism tap into queerness and tango, and how does globalisation enable connecting for marketing and consumption purposes? How is tango marketed to queer culture? How does queer tango intervene in the formation of queer subjectivities at ‘home’ and abroad? And how does it affect local Argentine milonga culture?
