Route Alignment Based on GIS Cost Analysis

This report uses AHP method to determine the weight of each element, using raster computing to build cost grid, running GIS spatial analysis function to analyse. After that, the cost path between the two provides the basis for route alignment. The GIFFNOCK to DARVEL route alignment is taken as an example to verify this method.
AN APPROACH FOR STANDARDIZATION OF SEMANTIC MODELS FOR BUILDING RENOVATION PROCESSES

Abstract. The design and maintenance of buildings and infrastructures relies on digital tools such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modelling (BIM) methods, Geographic Information System (GIS) datasets and other kinds of digital representation of knowledge. The innovations in digital technologies in Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) sector are not just related to the enhancement of consolidated processes, but they open new collaboration methods and integration with other Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) such as Internet of Things (IoT), additive manufacturing, automation, augmented reality and artificial intelligence. As domain-specific software solutions are expanding their features over different sources and datasets, the need for integration and standardization of information storage and exchange arises. Semantic Web technologies are one of the emerging solutions for solving such issues, as they offer the possibility to combine data from diverse data models and multiple domains using the web. Among the ontologies developed in the last decade for the construction sector, one specific reference should be made on the ifcOWL, an IFC-based ontology representing the most used data schema industry. Nonetheless, from the standardization point of view, so far ontologies have not been considered among the standard methods for information exchange in the AEC, unlike in other sectors (e.g. ISO 15926 was firstly developed for the integration of life cycle data for process plants of oil and gas facilities). This paper aims at showing a standardization and harmonization perspective for ontologies in the AECO industry, starting from the results achieved in the BIM4EEB project.
Socio-Demographics and Psychological Correlates of Anger Among Individuals Diagnosed with Alcohol Use Disorder In Jordan

The results showed that 64% of the patients in this study had severe clinical anger, 70% had moderate to high impulsivity level, and about 48% had high level of resilience. The findings also showed a significant positive correlation between patients’ anger and impulsivity (r = .36, p <0.05), while a significant negative correlation was observed between patients’ anger and resilience (r = 0.60, p < .001).
Analysis of TAEs and FBs induced fast ions redistribution and losses in MAST using a reduced fast ion transport model

In MAST dedicated experiments were carried out to study the redistribution and loss of neutral beam injected fast ions due to their interaction with Toroidal Alfvén Eigenmodes (TAEs) and Fish-Bones (FBs) by integrating observations from Fast Ion D-alpha diagnostics, a multi-channel Charged Fusion Product Detector (CFPD) and a Neutron Camera (NC) [1]. The experimental observations were modelled in TRANSP/NUBEAM using a combination of the “ad-hoc” time-dependent anomalous diffusion coefficient and the FB model available in NUBEAM. The main limitations of this study were the lack of a physical justification for the level of anomalous fast ion diffusion required to match predictions and observations and the fact that it was not possible to identify a fast ion distribution that was simultaneously in agreement with both FIDA and NC observations. In this work, these experimental observations are now revisited using the “kick model” [2] in which spatial diffusion coefficients emerge from the estimate of the fast ion diffusion in pitch and energy phase space estimated by Monte Carlo simulations of test particle trajectories in presence of perturbations of the plasma equilibrium. The Probability Density Function (PDF) of the “kicks” in energy and pitch is estimated using the ORBIT code in which the perturbation(s) eigenfunction(s) and amplitude(s) are provided in input. The perturbation eigenfunctions are estimated using NOVA and MISHKA codes while amplitude is proportional to root mean square value of the magnetic field perturbation at the edge measured by Mirnov coils, with the proportionality constant as the single free parameter. The fast ion distribution calculated in TRANSP/NUBEAM on the basis of the “kicks” PDF is then compared with FIDA, CFPD and NC observations.
A NEW TWO-PARAMETER DISTRIBUTION WITH DECREASING, INCREASING, BATHTUB HAZARD RATE FUNCTIONS AND ITS APPLICATIONS

In the literature, two-parameter distributions which exhibit all three types of decreasing, increasing and bathtub shape hazard rate functions are very few. In this paper, we propose a new two-parameter distribution, called Gompertz-weighted exponential distribution, having these three types of hazard rate functions. The proposed distribution is obtained by mixing the frailty parameter of the Gompertz distribution by weighted exponential distribution. The parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method and their performance is examined by extensive simulation studies. Three real data applications are provided to illustrate the superiority of the proposed distribution over many well known two-parameter distributions. AMS Subject Classification: 62F10, 62F15, 62F25
Disorder-Induced Superconductor-Insulator Transition

In this paper, we report the results of our theoretical investigation on the interplay of superconductivity and disorder in two-dimensional (2D) systems. The effect of disorder on superconductivity of 2D systems was found analytically using Green’s function formalism. The results of our calculation revealed that disorder induced due to randomly distributed superconducting islands enhances decoherence of Cooper pairs and suppresses superconductivity. We have also determined the critical value of disorder at which the 2D system completely loses its superconducting properties. Below this critical value of disorder, the system acts as a superconductor, a system with zero electrical resistance. Above the critical value, it acts as an insulator, a system with infinite electric resistance. This is a fascinating result because a direct transition from the state of the infinite conductivity to the opposite extreme of infinite resistivity is unexpected in the theory of condensed matter physics.
Frictional slip weakening and shear-enhanced crystallinity in simulated coal fault gouges at slow slip rates

Abstract. Previous studies show that organic-rich fault patches may play an important role in promoting unstable fault slip. However, the frictional properties of rock materials with near 100 % organic content, e.g. coal, and the controlling microscale mechanisms, remain unclear. Here, we report seven velocity stepping (VS) and one slide-hold-slide (SHS) friction experiments performed on simulated fault gouges prepared from bituminous coal, collected from the upper Silesian Basin of Poland. These experiments were performed at 25–45 MPa effective normal stress and 100 °C, employing sliding velocities of 0.1–100 μm s−1, using a conventional triaxial apparatus plus direct shear assembly. All samples showed marked slip weakening behaviour at shear displacements beyond ~ 1–2 mm, from a peak friction coefficient approaching ~ 0.5 to (near) steady state values of ~ 0.3, regardless of effective normal stress or whether vacuum dry flooded with distilled (DI) water at 15 MPa pore fluid pressure. Analysis of both unsheared and sheared samples by means of microstructural observation, micro-area X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy suggests that the marked slip weakening behaviour can be attributed to the development of R-, B- and Y- shear bands, with internal shear-enhanced coal crystallinity development. The SHS experiment performed showed a transient peak healing (restrengthening) effect that increased with the logarithm of hold time at a linearized rate of ~ 0.006. We also determined the rate-dependence of steady state friction for all VS samples using a full rate and state friction approach. This showed a transition from velocity strengthening to velocity weakening at slip velocities > 1 μm s−1 in the coal sample under vacuum dry conditions, but at > 10 μm s−1 in coal samples exposed to DI water at 15 MPa pore pressure. This may be controlled by competition between dilatant granular flow and compaction enhanced by presence of water. Together with our previous work on frictional properties of coal-shale mixtures, our results imply that the presence of a weak, coal-dominated patch on faults that cut or smear-out coal seams may promote unstable, seismogenic slip behaviour, though the importance of this in enhancing either induced or natural seismicity depends on local conditions.
Genetic Diversity of Duabanga moluccana Blume from Two Provenances in West Nusa Tenggara Revealed by Microsatellite markers

Duabanga moluccana Blume, locally known as Rajumas, is a tree species that suitable for building materials, pulp, and plywood. The information about genetic diversity is required for the conserving of this species. Here, we elucidated the genetic diversity of D. moluccana from two provenances in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Four microsatellite markers successfully amplified 12 randomly selected samples and produced polymorphic DNA bands. Those primers were DMAG10, DMAG09, DMACAG01 and DMTCAC11. High genetic diversity was detected in the populations with 0.54 of mean expected heterozygosity (He). The genetic variation among individuals was 100%, whereas there were no genetic variations among populations and within individuals
Window Dressing in the Public Sector: A Case Study of China's Compulsory Education Promotion Program

We examine window dressing phenomenon in the public sector by studying the strategic responses of Chinese local officials to the compulsory education promotion program launched by the central government in the 1990s. According to this program, the Chinese counties should receive inspections on whether the compulsory educational targets were achieved on pre-scheduled time by provincial governments; and failing to pass the inspection would have severe negative career consequences for the county leaders. We find that county-level educational expenditures saw a sustained increase before the inspection, but a sharp drop immediately after the inspection. Local officials who were more likely to be inspected within their tenures window-dressed more aggressively. As a result, middle school enrollment rates declined significantly after the inspection, and rural girls bore the blunt of the decline in school enrollment.

Saltiel, David and Steels, Stephanie and Fenney, Deborah (2018)Developing a typology of mobile phone usage in social care: A critical review

The ways in which mobile phones have transformed the boundaries of time and space and the possibilities of communication have profoundly affected our lives. However there is little research on the use of mobiles in social care although evidence is emerging that mobile phones can play an important role in social care service delivery. This paper is based on a scoping review of the international literature in this area and a typology of mobile interventions is suggested. While most mobile phone interventions remain uni-directional and sit within traditional social care service provider-service user relationships, a minority are bior multi-directional and contain within them the potential to transform these traditional relationships by facilitating a collective development of social networks and social capital. Such transformations are accompanied by a range of issues and dilemmas that have made many service providers reluctant to engage with new technologies. We suggest that our typology is a very useful model to draw on when researching the use of mobile phones in social care settings to support and empower Isolated, marginalised and vulnerable service users.

Nalbuphine ameliorates morphine/tramadol-induced dependence and tolerance to analgesia through locus coereulus (LC) norepinephrine

Chronic use of opioids as morphine and tramadol to control pain is associated with several side effects and tolerance to their analgesic effect and dependence. Some of the side effects of opioids can be ameliorated by naloxone, however this is associated with decreased analgesia. Nalbuphine was shown to ameliorate morphine and tramadol psychological dependence. The current study aims to investigate the effect of co-administration of nalbuphine with morphine or tramadol on tolerance to analgesia and physical dependence and the possible involvement of norepinephrine in its effect.Co-admistration of nalbuphine with morphine or tramadol prevented tolerance to analgesia and physical dependence that was observed with each drug alone and this was associated with prevention of the elevation in norepinephrine in the locus coereulus (LC) following naloxone administration.These results emphasize the possible use of nalbuphine in combination with morphine or tramadol to preserve their analgesic effect and to prevent the development of dependence to their effect.
Effect of first order chemical reaction on magneto convection of immiscible fluids in a vertical channel

A Numerical and analytical study of a two fluid magneto hydrodynamics flow in a vertical channel is investigated in the presence of first order chemical reaction. The fluid in both the regions is incompressible, electrically conducting, and the transport properties are assumed to be constant. The governing equations of motion are solved analytically by regular perturbation method which are valid for small values of Brinkman number, and numerically by finite difference method which are valid for large values of Brinkman number. The results are presented graphically for various Hartman number, viscosity ratio, width ratio and conductivity ratio. The expression for volumetric flow rate, Nusselt number, total species rate, total heat rate added to the flow is derived for both open and short circuits. The solutions obtained by finite difference method and perturbation method agree very well to the order of 4 10 for small values of perturbation parameter.
Student Feedback Towards Educator Performance in Technical College: A Case Study in KKTMSG Johor Malaysia

Student feedback is one of the important component in the learning and teaching process evaluation at various stages of higher level education in Malaysia. Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi MARA Sri Gading (KKTMSG) with eight departments is a location of study that have intakes twice a year, January-June (JJ) and July-December (JD). A continuous assessment by student has been executed over years and compulsory to fill in during the final examination week around May and November. Four objectives of this study are to determine if there is any correlation exist between Educator Mark with Total Marks of Personality and Teaching and Learning, to investigate if there is any correlation exist between Personality and its criteria, to explore if there is any correlation exist between Teaching and Learning and its each criteria and finally to determine if any association exist between Gender and Educator Mark with hypothesis null that both variables are independent. Main instrument used is a questionnaire with quantitative research design survey technique consists of basic Demography, Personality and Teaching and Learning sections. The survey question is in a Likert scale start from 1 to 5 that represent Never, Almost Never, Sometimes, Almost Every Time and Every Time respectively. The dependent variable is an Educator Mark meanwhile the independent variables consists of 24 variables known as Semester, Year, Educator, Gender, Department, Student, 20 variables of criteria selection from Personality with 8 questions and from Teaching and Learning with 12 questions in a Likert scale. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and chi-square test have been adopted to this study. Result shows that 55.4% and 44.6% of the sample data are male and female respectively, which sounds reasonable represent the population of educator in KKTMSG and the highest respondent for both genders represent from PA Department. First objective presents a strong relationship with correlation value at 0.976 for Teaching and Learning compared to Personality and second objective shows all criteria have strong relationship with criteria Fairness, E presents highest correlation value at 0.976 compared to others. In the meantime, third objective 3 display similar result that criteria Committed During Teaching and Learning Process, T represents highest correlation value at 0.984 compared to others. All these results were based on significant p-value of less than 0.05. Finally, a Chi-Square Test conclude that Gender and Educator Mark are independent, and this shows that students are freely to evaluate educator in KKTMSG without consider or concern either the educator is male or female.
MicroCT 3D reconstruction of three described braconid species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Traditionally, entomologists have used destructive methods especially dissection in order to investigate the important taxonomic characters of specimens. New technologies for imaging and analyzing in taxonomy, offer opportunities to deposit three-dimensional (3D) data to proposed for rare and valuable type materials in museums and collections. Micro-computed tomography, as a non-destructive imaging technique, has become an emerging and progressive technology in insect science. However, this technology is rarely used in entomology compared to in medical and industrial applications. In this study, MicroCT imaging protocols are explained in detail using three species of braconid wasps: Aleiodes arnoldii 1976 (Braconidae: Rogadinae), Hormius moniliatus Nee, 1811 (Braconidae: Hormiinae) and Macrocentrus bicolor 1833 (Braconidae: Macrocentrinae). MicroCT scan data of three braconid wasp species from Iran, depicted main identification of skeletal body parts. A brief step-by-step is provided on image acquisition, 3D reconstruction and mesh editing to create a virtual model of the species utilized for morphological and morphometric studies. As a result, the use of micro-computed tomography as a non-invasive virtual examination tool was explored.

Elevada densidade de semeadura aumenta a produtividade da soja? Respostas da radiação fotossinteticamente ativa

Estudos recentes tem abordado o uso da pratica da elevada densidade de semeadura na cultura da soja. Entretanto, os resultados praticos dessa tecnica sao divergentes. Assim, pesquisas nesse campo sao importantes para elucidar os efeitos diretos dessa pratica de manejo, como, por exemplo, a interferencia no uso da radiacao fotossinteticamente ativa (RFA). Portanto, objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar a dinâmica da RFA em diferentes densidades de cultivo na cultura da soja. Para tanto, conduziu-se um experimento a campo com delineamento em blocos casualizados com os tratamentos distribuidos em arranjo fatorial 3 × 5: tres cultivares de soja RR® (P98Y12, TMG 132 e M-Soy 9056) e cinco densidades de semeadura (20, 30, 40, 50 e 60 plantas∙m–2) com quatro repeticoes. Foram avaliados massa seca da parte aerea, radiacao fotossinteticamente ativa no dossel inferior (RFA-I) e superior (RFA-S), intercepcao da RFA, taxa de crescimento da cultura (TCC), taxa de crescimento relativo (TCR), taxa de assimilacao liquida (TAL), eficiencia de uso da radiacao (EUR), coeficiente de extincao luminosa (k), indice de colheita de graos (ICG), peso de 1.000 graos e produtividade. Independentemente do cultivar, as densidades de 20 e 30 plantas∙m–2 proporcionaram os maiores valores de TAL, TCR, k, ICG e produtividade. Apenas o uso dos parâmetros EUR, TCC e RFA interceptada nao fornece informacoes solidas para predizer a eficiencia do cultivo adensado na cultura da soja. As densidades de cultivo tradicionalmente utilizadas se sobrepoem as demais quanto a qualidade da RFA no dossel e produtividade da soja.
