Chaotic Lag Synchronization of Coupled Time-delayed Neural Networks with Two Neurons Using LMI Approach

Abstract In this paper, the chaotic lag synchronization of coupled time-delayed systems with two neurons is investigated. We analyze the asymptotic stability for the error dynamical system based on Lyapunov method and linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. Some new sufficient conditions for determining the lag synchronization between the coupling systems are derived. Above all, we skillfully shift our criterion which is expressed in terms of LMI into the generalized eigenvalue minimization programming (GEVP) for the first time. The minimum of coupling strength is obtained successfully. A numerical experiment illustrates the effectiveness and advantage of our results.
Effects of Selected Antioxidants on Atherosclerosis in Hyperlipidemic Wistar Rats

The interplay of hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress in atherosclerosis has been fairly established by previous studies. There remains however, paucity of data in this environment on the direct effects of antioxidants on atherosclerosis. This study therefore aimed at determining the protective effects of EDTA, vitamin C and Vitamin E on atherosclerosis in diet induced heperlipidemic wister rats. Thirty Wister rats were investigated in this study. The rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=6). The control group was fed with growers mash and water only while group II-V were induced with hyperlipidemic diet for ten weeks. In addition to the hyperlipidemic diet; group III received 1 g/kg body weight of EDTA, group IV received 1 g/kg body weight of vitamin C, group V received 1 g/kg body weight of vitamin E, and group VI received EDTA, vitamin C and E. The group’s treatments were orally for two weeks. C-reactive protein, Total cholesterol (TC), Triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, Total calcium and Total antioxidant status were analyzed using standard methods after the treatments. The study showed significant effect in the use of EDTA, Vitamin C and Vitamin E in the treatment of atherosclerosis in rats which could be due to their antioxidant and anti-hyperlipidemic properties. Therefore the combinations EDTA, vitamin C and vitamin E appear greatly protective against atherosclerosis.

INVESTIGATING THE SOURCE ATTRIBUTES INFLUENCING CONSUMERS’ CREDIBILITY EVALUATIONS OF AN ATHLETE-CELEBRITY ENDORSED PRODUCT

The use of celebrity endorsement as an advertising strategy has been widely embraced by numerous organisations. Nonetheless, scholarly wisdom suggests the need for cumulative research that seeks to identify the unique set of source factors that enhance the credibility of advertising communication messages delivered by celebrities across countries. In this vein, the primary purpose of this research was to apply the dimensions of the source attributes theory (Ohanian, 1990) to understand the underlying factors that influence South African consumers to have positive perceptions towards purchasing a product that has been endorsed by a local athlete celebrity-endorser. A quantitative research approach was applied, wherein a self-administered survey questionnaire comprising 20 scale items was adapted for this research. Data were collected from a consumer sample of 456 consumers based in Gauteng, South Africa. Upon applying exploratory factor analysis and mean score rankings, source likeability, source trust, source authority and source credibility were established as the underlying factors influencing consumers’ credibility evaluations, in descending order of importance. Moreover, the inter-factor correlation matrix revealed positive relationships among the identified factors. Insights gained from this study could assist practitioners to design effective advertisement strategies that foster positive credibility evaluations through known product endorsers.
Shaping Abstract Argumentation for the Argumentation Pipeline – How to avoid Multiple Arguments with the same Claim

Abstract argumentation frameworks are a constitutive formalism within a more general argumentation process, where arguments and conflicts are instantiated from a given knowledge base and acceptable sets of arguments are obtained solely from the resulting attack relation between arguments. Inspecting the claims of the accepted arguments is often considered as final step in this process. However, a certain subtlety occurs when different arguments with the same claim are constructed during the instantiation process. This not only gives rise to different views on acceptance but can also have an impact on the complexity of acceptance problems, as recently shown. A natural goal is thus to investigate under which circumstances such situations can be avoided, i.e. when one can express the result of the instantiation with standard formalisms where each argument represents a unique claim. We study this problem on the general level of claim-augmented argumentation frameworks (CAFs). As a main result we show that, for all standard semantics, the class of well-formed CAFs, where arguments with the same claim have the same outgoing attacks, can be equivalently represented as argumentation frameworks with collective attacks. 1Institute of Logic and Computation, TU Wien, Austria.

Water impact simulation using a dedicated Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) method for helicopters ditching analysis

As part of the European research, one aim of the project SARAH is to develop a calculation tool to simulate the emergency landing of aircrafts and helicopters (ditching). Indeed, aircrafts and helicopters often travel above water and thus have to prove a safe landing under emergency conditions. The specific challenge is to improve the safety during ditching from increasing the understanding of the physics and the influence of environment with this kind of tool. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is well suited for modelling violent free-surface flows and complex phenomena in a general manner. The simulations have been performed with SPHflow, a CFD software, developed by Nextflow Software and Ecole Centrale of Nantes, which solves the compressible Euler equations with a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method [1]. Initially, the floats were considered as rigid structures fixed to the helicopter. Therefore, the helicopter and the floats were modelled as a single rigid free body that impacted the water surface from a set of initial conditions. The main objective of this work is now to model the deformation of the inflatable floats. For that, a coupling between the Finite Element (FE) software Abaqus and SPH-flow has been developed in order to simulate the coupled flow and reaction of the helicopter structure. The coupling is first tested and validated in the case of a flexible sphere impacting the ground and the water surface compared to experimental data obtained by Malleron [2] then Halbout [3]. Then, a dedicated FE model is developed for the entire helicopter equipped with the deformable floats. The Fluid-Structure Interaction method is finally applied to the helicopter equipped with its deformable floats and compared to experimental data from tests in the Hydrodynamic and Ocean Engineering Tank of the Ecole Centrale of Nantes.

ACOUSTIC PARTICLE VELOCITY FOR FAULT DETECTION OF ROTATING MACHINERY USING TACHLESS ORDER ANALYSIS

The detection of faulty parts is of fundamental importance during the manufacturing process. Most traditional acoustic techniques for fault diagnosis are based on analysis of the sound pressure emitted by the device. However, the performance of such methods are strongly limited for industrial scenarios due the presence of high levels of background noise. Furthermore, to carry out fault detection in rotating machinery, the exact measure of rotational speed of the shaft is required. The placement of a specific tachometer for this purpose is not often possible at the end of the assembly line due to time or spatial constraints. Particle velocity sensors are a non-contact solution that are able to capture surface vibration and can therefore be used to simultaneously quantify the vibro-acoustic behavior of a device and to perform order tracking. In addition, they provide better signal to noise ratio as they are less affected by background noise when measurements are performed close to the radiating surface. This paper presents the application of a single 3D acoustic particle velocity sensor for fault detection in rotating machinery under factory conditions with high levels of background noise. The implemented method is able to perform tachless order analysis and make use of Gaussian mixture models for the fault classification. The proposed method provides evidence for the viability of particle velocity-based solutions for end of line control applications in noisy conditions.
Numerical study on laminar convection heat transfer in a channel with longitudinal vortex generator. Part B: Parametric study of major influence factors

This paper presents the influences of main parameters of longitudinal vortex generator (LVG) on the heat transfer enhancement and flow resistance in a rectangular channel. The parameters include the location of LVG in the channel, geometric sizes and shape of LVG. Numerical results show that the overall Nusselt number of channel will decrease with the LVGs’ location away from the inlet of the channel, and decrease too with the space between the LVG pair decreased. The location of LVG has no significant influence on the total pressure drop of channel. With the area of LVG increased, the average Nusselt number and the flow loss penalty of channel, especially when b = 45 will increase. With the area of LVG fixed, increasing the length of rectangular winglet pair vortex generator will bring about more heat transfer enhancement and less flow loss increase than that increasing the height of rectangular winglet pair vortex generator. With the same area of LVG, delta winglet pair is more effective than rectangular winglet pair on heat transfer enhancement of channel, and delta winglet pair-b is more effective than delta winglet pair-a. Delta winglet pair-a results in a higher pressure drop, the next is rectangular winglet pair and the last is delta winglet-b. The increase of heat transfer enhancement is always accompanied with the decrease of field synergy angle between the velocity and temperature gradient when the parameters of LVG are changed. This confirms again that the field synergy is the fundamental mechanism of heat transfer by longitudinal vortex. The laminar heat transfer of the channel with punched delta winglet pair is experimentally and numerically studied in the present paper. The numerical result for the average heat transfer coefficient of the channel agrees well with the experimental result, indicating the reliability of the present numerical predictions. 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Determinants of survival and growth of Listed SMEs in China

This paper investigates the important factors in determining the survival and growth of Chinese listed SMEs for the period of 1990-2003. Our findings are as follows. Firm survival tends to increase with firm size, and firm growth tends to decrease with firm age but increase with firm size; firm performance and operation stability helps listed firms be more competitive and more likely to survive and grow; the type of activity in which the firm engages is an important determinant of its growth, but no evidence shows that it is likely to affect firm survival; state-ownership appears to increase the probability of large firm survival but not growth, indicating that it cannot help firms to increase their competitiveness to grow in the market; SMEs in inner and remote areas are more likely to survive, while the firms in coastal areas are more likely to grow; R&D activities have been found to influence firm survival but not growth, indicating the overwhelming problem of intellectual property protections in China; and finally and most importantly, seasoned equity offering (SEO) plays a crucial role in sustaining SME survival and growth, and a lack of seasoned equity raised in markets has proved to have weakened SME performance and become a major constraint on the growth of the Chinese listed SMEs, indicating that public listing does not facilitate SME survival and growth. The paper’s findings carry policy implications that are related to the state-ownership reform, development of SME Board and enforcement of intellectual property protections in China.

Anti-hypercholesterolemic agent from Indonesian rice bran

This research was conducted to determine the total oryzanol content of various extracts and bioassay-guided isolation of active anti-hypercholesterolemic agent from Indonesian rice bran. Hot solvent extraction was done by reflux method using single and binary solvents, namely hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, isopropanol, acetone, hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1, v/v), hexane-isopropanol (1:1, v/v), and chloroform-ethyl acetate (1:1, v/v). TLC densitometric was used to quantitatively analyze the total oryzanol content in various extracts. The hexane extract was selected for fractionation and evaluated for their anti-hypercholesterolemic activity. The structure of an isolated compound was determined on the basis of NMR and Mass spectroscopy. The total oryzanol content was obtained using various solvents ranging from 27.92 to 43.59 mg/100g rice bran, in which hexane extract showed the highest amount (43.59 ± 3.36 mg/100g rice bran). β-sitosterol has been isolated from rice bran hexane extract, which shows a significant decrease in serum total cholesterol level. In summary, hexane is the best solvent to extract oryzanol compound using reflux method, and β-sitosterol was suspected to be responsible for anti-hypercholesterolemic activity in addition to existing compound such as oryzanol that contained in the rice bran.
An Anatomical Study of the Tibia in the North Indian Population

Introduction The human tibia is a complex anatomical unit and the knowledge of its morphometric values is important in Forensic, Anatomic and Radiological cases in order to identify unknown bodies and stature. Objective It was to analyze the tibia, its morphometry, side difference and to investigate the position of nutrient foramina in tibia. Methods In this study, 60 adult human tibias (30 right and 30 left) were obtained from the Department of Anatomy SMSR SHARDA UNIVERSITY. In the study a total of two parameters i.e. Cross Section Index in the middle and Cnemicus Index of the bones were obtained and evaluated by using two instruments- a Measuring Tape and a Vernier Calipers. All the bones were dry and showed normal anatomical features. Results The mean Cross Section Index in the middle was calculated as 80.42 ± 11.33 on the right side and 78.15± 12.78 on the left side; and the Cnemicus index was 78.40 ± 13.19 on the right side and 70.84 ± 11.38 on the left side Conclusion The two parameters in the North Indian population were compared with other populations. The values were found to be almost comparable however there were subtle differences between different populations. The position of nutrient foramen was also assessed. This knowledge will thus help further researchers and orthopedic surgeons in various procedures like joint replacement therapy, fracture repair, bone grafts and vascularized bone microsurgery as well as in medico‐legal cases.

The correlation coefficient (R) for Tramadol 0.9998 and for Diclofenac sodium 0.9991 . T he mean % recovery was found to be in range of 99.0 0% and 99.68% for TRA and DIC, respectively. The proposed m thod fulfils the validation parameter as per ICH guidelines and was successfully applied to the estimation of T RA and DIC in bulk as well as in synthetic mixture.
Sliding Gaze : Head Movement and Touch Gesture Based Target Selection Technology

Target selection technology plays an important role at all times when we try to interact with some elements in human computer interaction. For wearable devices, head movement and touch gesture are wildly used as the input source to select the target. Head movement is a deliberate and Concise method for target selection, and is wildly used in the wearable devices. However, it requires an unnatural and fatiguing head actions, and is not as precise as the touch input. For touch gesture, it is a mature technology in the human computer interaction for users to do the precise and high-quality input, but in the case of wearable device, touch gesture input need the support of an external input device. This research explores the Slide Gaze: using both head movement and touch gesture techniques for wearable devices. We use a head mounted display for head movement input and the visual output, as well as a touch pad for the touch gesture input. User can choose to use two different kinds of input methods. The refine mode use touch gesture input as a precise refinement for the head movement input to select the target with high accuracy. Meanwhile, the overlay mode superposes the two kinds of input sources together to achieve a faster selection. Since the sensitivity of head movement input is influenced by the distance of the object, we also need to adjust the sensitivity of touch gesture input to get a qualified input experience. We also provide several methods for users to use touch gesture to do further interaction with the selected objects.

An Analysis about reverse offshoring

Economies that traditionally benefited from offshoring are losing some of their strategical advantages, with a consequent increase in backshoring (i.e., reverse offshoring) by developed economies. This paper describes this phenomenon and tries to shed light, from an Italian perspective, on the current challenges, trends and debates of backshoring, and on its main determinants. A new phenomenon known as nearshoring is also analysed—this consists of relocating some previously offshored manufacturing activities so that they are now close to previous core locations, but not so close as to suffer from disagglomeration effects.
