Prepreg Testing—Quick, Informative, Reliable A Critical View

This paper is a critical comparison of the currently used methods to test prepregs which do not describe to a sufficient extent the flow behaviour of a prepreg resin during the pressing process. The new test method introduced herein is a characterisation of the viscosity of the resin melt. International standardisation of this test method is recommended.
Voltage stability analysis using static and dynamic approaches

The authors discuss voltage stability analysis of power systems using static and dynamic techniques. Using a small test system, results of time domain simulations are presented to clarify the phenomenon of voltage instability and to better understand modeling requirements. The same system is then analyzed using a static approach in which modal analysis is performed using system conditions, or snapshots, which approximate different stages along the time domain trajectory. The results obtained using the dynamic and static methods are compared and shown to be consistent. >
RoboCup Rescue Simulation League Virtual Robots competition Rules document

The purpose of the competition is to provide a common benchmark to demonstrate scientific progress in robotics in the field of Urban Search and Rescue. The rules of this competition are inspired by the rules of the RoboCup Rescue Robot League and Agent competition. As in the Robot League, a devastated area has to be explored for victims with a team of robots controlled by an operator. Compared the Robot League, the focus of the research is more focused on team work to accurately explore large areas and less on mobility. As in the Agent competition, the disaster situation is not known before a competition run. Compared to the agent league, the focus is more on the sensory and actuation level and less on planning. This year the Technical Committee is looking forward to see cooperation between heterogeneous robots, as for instance a ground robot and an air robot.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF JIROFT STORAGE DAM OPERATION USING HEC-RESSIM 2.0

The application of simulation models is one of the most efficient ways of analyzing water resources systems, which is based on physical relations accompanied by a series of operational rules attempting to simulate a phenomena as close as possible to reality and the system behavior under a specified policy. HEC-ResSim is one of the simulation models that possess of multi reservoir simulators and can simulate water resources systems. In this research, performance of Jiroft storage dam and its water supply was evaluated. With this model Reliability, resiliency and vulnerability indices were used for system evaluation. Model verification results indicate that, this model is able to simulate the behavior of the system very well. Jiroft storage dam was simulated with various scenarios in the present condition, different periods considering sedimentation, project expansion and increased efficiency. Introducing the system expansion had shown a serious deficit and considerable failures in 25% of the operation periods. But, by increasing irrigation efficiency from 30 to 50%, failures in the system were decreased 12% and resilience was increased to 17%.
Development of a method for noise suppression of a signal from pressure sensors on main gas pipelines using wavelet transformation

Natural gas produced in the Russian Federation is transported through main gas pipelines united into the Unified Gas Supply System of the Russian Federation. The system of main gas pipelines the most important link in the unified gas supply system – is a large, complex and continuously developing technological system. Maximum internal pressure is one of the key characteristics for any pipeline. This indicator helps to set the limit for the capacity of the pipeline (maximum volume of pumped gas per unit of time), its level of reliability, as well as the level of hazard and potential risk (the higher the pressure inside the pipeline, the more potential threat it carries). In order to increase the reliability of determining the pressure in the gas pipeline, it is proposed to perform noise suppression using a wavelet transform in the work. Noise reduction in the wavelet transform is carried out due to the fact that the signal is decomposed into approximating and detailing coefficients. After removing the detailing component, the decomposition is restored and the output is a slightly distorted signal. Thus, when you remove an insignificant part of the original signal, the graphs of the change in values become more visual. This paper compares the efficiency of wavelet based thresholding techniques in the presence of noise for various wavelet family. For comparison, the trend processing was performed by two types of wavelets recommended for noise reduction Symlet and Daubechies wavelets.
Development and standardization of Morningness- Eveningness questionnaire (MEQ) in the Nepali language

ABSTRACT Individuals can be classified into different chronotypes concerning their circadian rhythm features. Morningness-Eveningness (MEQ) can be defined as individual differences in sleep-wake patterns and people’s time-of-day feel and perform the best. Various self-report instruments that measure the Morningness-Eveningness have been developed. The Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), developed by Horne and Östberg, was the first and most used questionnaire for determining the chronotypes of an individual. The main aim of the current study was to translate and validate the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) to the Nepali language. The English version of the MEQ was translated to the Nepali language using the translation-back-translation method. Further, it was given to 10 native Nepali speakers for content validation. The final MEQ-Nepali version was then administered to 116 native Nepali speakers. Mean, standard deviation, variance, and reliability statistics such as Cronbach’s alpha score, intraclass correlation coefficient, and item-total correlation were obtained for the data. Results showed that the MEQ-Nepali version has a Cronbach’s alpha score and an inter-class correlation coefficient of 0.73, which is considered good reliability. The MEQ Nepali version developed in this study is found to be valid and reliable. Hence, it can be used to categorize Nepali-speaking populations into various circadian types.
Advanced control and stability of autonomous road vehicles. Part I: synthesis of a hybrid neuro-dynamic controller

A new concept of an advanced integrated vehicle controller with a 4-wheel control system (ADIVEC-4WCS), to provide an automatic system guidance, is presented. It was established upon the implementation of a hybrid neuro-dynamic control. The strategy of the distributed hierarchy control at the tactical and executive control levels is realised by designing a dynamic controller. At the tactical control level, the centralised approach using the entire dynamic model of the road vehicle was applied. In order to compensate for the effects of inaccuracies of the model parameters and system uncertainties, a neuro-compensator was synthesised at this control level, too. A spatial model of the road vehicle interacting with the dynamic environment, used for control synthesis, is described. Some characteristic simulation results are presented showing the efficiency of the proposed neuro-dynamic vehicle controller.

Simulation of a multiscale model of the Heart

The heart is comprised of four chambers, which function due to pressure changes across each chamber during the cardiac cycle. When observed at the microscopic level, these pressure changes are generated by calcium and troponin C binding in the cross-bridge cycle of a sarcomere. This binding creates a ratchet and stroke interplay which creates contraction in the muscle. This contraction exerts a force which in the heart causes the chambers to generatea force. This force creates pressure changes to move the fluid (blood) from one chamber to another. The method used in this report incorporates these considerations to model the pressure volume curves of the left ventricle and left atrium. The other chambers are modeled using the elastance theory. This article includes a literature review of several aspects of the cardiovascular system from the molecular to the anatomical level and simulates the cardiovascular system using a multiscale model inspired from previous articles and compliments what has been previously described [1–9]. Data acquired will be reproduced and analyzed using MATLAB.
Characteristics affecting management of design information in the production system design process

Although it has been argued that the design of production systems is crucial, there is a general lack of empirical studies analysing and identifying resources and capabilities required for an efficient production system design process. One of these resources is the critical role attributed to design information and one such capability is how the design information is managed. To address this research gap, this paper reports the results from two in-depth case studies in the automotive industry focusing on the management of design information in the production system design process. Our results show that design information management needs to be understood as a multidimensional concept having three dimensions: acquiring, sharing and using design information. By focusing on the three dimensions, six characteristics affecting the management of design information when designing the production system are identified. The characteristics are information type, source of information, communication medium, formalisation, information quality and pragmatic information.
On the differential nonlinearity of time-to-digital converters based on delay-locked-loop delay lines

A theoretical analysis of the effects of the delay-line differential nonlinearity (DNL) on the typical performance parameters of high-resolution time-to-digital converters (TDCs) based on delay-locked-loop (DLL) delay lines has been developed. The theoretical study is based on the knowledge of the delay-line nonlinearity values that can be measured, with the desired precision, by means of a statistical code-density test. In particular, the effects on the TDC time resolution and error standard deviation curve as a function of the measured time interval are investigated. An a posteriori linearization technique, consisting in a proper correction of the TDC readouts, is then analyzed and its advantages are theoretically demonstrated. Finally, the theoretical results are superimposed on experimental data coming from a real TDC. The measured deviations from the ideal behavior are thus justified and can just be ascribed to the delay-line nonlinearity.
A rare case of co-existing branchial cyst and thyroglossal cyst

Thyroglossal duct remnants and branchial arch anomalies are the most common congenital neck masses. These anomalies typically present in childhood or early adulthood as cysts, sinuses or cartilaginous remnants, but may rarely present in late adulthood. Although both thyroglossal duct remnants and branchial cysts may be encountered individually, these anomalies are rarely encountered together in the same individual. We report the third such case of co-existing branchial cyst and thyroglossal cyst occurring in the same individual with review of embryological development of thyroglossal duct cysts and second branchial arch anomalies.

Active scour monitoring using ultrasonic time domain reflectometry of buried slender sensors

Local scour is a growing cause of bridge failure in the United States and around the world. In the next century, the effects of climate changes will make more bridges susceptible to scour failure more than ever before. This study aims to harness the spatially continuous monitoring capabilities of ultrasonic time-domain reflectometry to detect a soil interface for the purposes of scour monitoring. In this study, a long, slender plate is coupled with two flexible piezoelectric devices that propagate Lamb waves along the length of the plate to form the scour sensor. The sensor was tested for sensitivity to external pressure using metal weights and was able to detect the position of the pressure up at a length of up to ∼20 feet. The sensor was tested under simulated scour conditions, being buried in sand at various depths. The results show that the Lamb wave scour sensor is capable of reliably detecting a soil interface at 1 ft intervals. The scour sensor was also able to detect uncompacted soil interfaces, which is important considering the issue of scour hole refill following an extreme event.
El proceso constituyente y la policía: El primer paso de un proyecto democratizador

El presente artículo aborda el impacto que la discusión constituyente puede tener en la configuración institucional de la policía en Chile. Luego de una revisión de la regulación constitucional vigente, caracterizada por la alta autonomía de Carabineros de Chile (I), se examina, con carácter genealógico, qué tipo de poder se encuentra en la base de las instituciones policiales, con el objeto de mostrar que éstas presentan características intrínsecas que las diferencian de otros órganos de la administración del Estado (II). Con ambos antecedentes expuestos, se señala que la discusión constituyente puede sentar las bases de un proceso de democratización de la policía. El trabajo advierte, no obstante, que la democratización de la policía es un proyecto que excede la construcción de una nueva regulación, requiriendo así de una robusta participación ciudadana, tanto para que la actividad policial vaya efectivamente en el interés general de la ciudadanía (III.a), como para que las futuras reformas policiales tengan éxito, evitando algunos fracasos ocurridos en otros países del continente (III.b).
Effects of current frequency, fiber orientation and sample thickness on the measured resistivity of skeletal muscle

Impedance measurements are being used as a noninvasive method for evaluation of tissue characteristics. However, the challenge is that there is no known unique correlation between the electrical behavior of tissues and their physiological parameters. The purpose of this research is to establish the groundwork that would lead to this correlation, by investigating the electrical properties of biological tissue. Experimental measurements were conducted on excised canine muscle samples using PC controlled instrumentation. The resistivity of the skeletal muscle was measured at various frequencies, angles between the fiber orientation and electrode axis, and sample thicknesses. <<ETX>>
An IoMT-Enabled Smart Healthcare Model to Monitor Elderly People Using Machine Learning Technique

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) enables digital devices to gather, infer, and broadcast health data via the cloud platform. The phenomenal growth of the IoMT is fueled by many factors, including the widespread and growing availability of wearables and the ever-decreasing cost of sensor-based technology. The cost of related healthcare will rise as the global population of elderly people grows in parallel with an overall life expectancy that demands affordable healthcare services, solutions, and developments. IoMT may bring revolution in the medical sciences in terms of the quality of healthcare of elderly people while entangled with machine learning (ML) algorithms. The effectiveness of the smart healthcare (SHC) model to monitor elderly people was observed by performing tests on IoMT datasets. For evaluation, the precision, recall, fscore, accuracy, and ROC values are computed. The authors also compare the results of the SHC model with different conventional popular ML techniques, e.g., support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and decision tree (DT), to analyze the effectiveness of the result.
