PREDICTING RUNOFF FROM A YARD WASTE WINDROW COMPOSTING PAD

Composting is utilized increasingly as an aerobic treatment alternative to landfilling for bioconverting organic wastes such as municipal biosolids and yard wastes into soil amendments or landscaping materials. However, little information is available to estimate composting operation runoff to corresponding design rainfall events. The objective of this work was to evaluate dynamic versions of the simple . index and NRCS curve number runoff models currently used in agricultural or urban stormwater management for predicting runoff from windrow composting operations. A 1.4 ha (approximately 48 × 300 m) windrow pad was constructed by placing 25 mm crusher-run aggregate on a tightly compacted Cecil sandy clay loam. The pad was sloped (<1% on the 300 m axis and 0% on the 48 m axis) and bermed to direct all runoff to a 0.2 ha × 2 m deep catchment pond with less than 3.175 mm/day seepage constructed with a regular trapezoidal shape, thus enabling a straightforward relationship between pond depth and volume. Precipitation, pond stage, and compost amount were monitored daily in accordance with environmental permit requirements. A dynamic NRCS curve number daily runoff model, in which the precipitation was adjusted with pad fraction covered and 7-day antecedent moisture, resulted in a validation R2 of 0.56 and had a modeled vs. observed slope of 0.93 when applied to the validation data set. Applied to monthly data, the dynamic curve number approach, which adjusted precipitation with average fraction covered with compost for the month, gave a validation R2 of 0.75 and a validation slope of 0.76. Based on daily and monthly results, the dynamic NRCS-CN models with precipitation adjustments yielded the best validation results. The more conventional dynamic NRCS-CN modeling approach where the curve number was modified performed nearly as well with daily and monthly runoff prediction. The precipitation-modified NRCS-CN equation tended to overpredict daily runoff at low precipitation rates, whereas the CN-modified version of the daily NRCS-CN equation was more consistent across the observed precipitation range. Both dynamic NRCS-CN equations tended to overpredict monthly runoff.
Performance and Trends in Millimetre-Wave CMOS Oscillators for Emerging Wireless Applications

This paper reports the latest advances on millimeter-wave CMOS voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). Current state-of-the-art implementations are reviewed, and their performances are compared in terms of phase noise and figure of merit. Low power and low phase noise LC-VCO and ring oscillator designs are analyzed and discussed. Design and performance trends over the last decade are provided and discussed. The paper shows how for the higher range of millimeter-waves (>60 GHz) the performances of ring oscillators become comparable with those of LC-VCOs.
On the structural configuration synthesis and geometry of machining centres

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to synthesize all possible structural configurations of three-, four- and five-axis machining centres and to investigate the geometrical characteristics of five-axis machining centres. Based on the definition of coordinate systems and the configuration code of machine tools, it was found that there are 24, 96 and 288 feasible configurations for three-, four- and five-axis machining centres respectively. The geometric characteristics of five-axis machining centres were analysed and summarized by using the method of coordinate transformation. The results of this paper are beneficial to engineers in the design and evaluation of machining centres.
Mechanisms of water retention in cement pastes containing a self-curing agent

Self-cure concrete contains a chemical agent that reduces the evaporation of water from its surface, primarily by reducing the vapour pressure at the concrete pore solution surface. The self-curing agent developed at the Concrete Technology Unit, University of Dundee, also produces an alteration in cement hydration product microstructure, and it was considered that this may also contribute to the improved water retention properties. To investigate this, weight loss measurements were conducted on both self-cure and ordinary pastes exposed to controlled ambient conditions, whilst thermogravimetric analysis was carried out on identical specimens. It was found that, whilst the evolution of heat of hydration renders the early stages of drying very complex, it was possible to examine the diffusion dependent stage of drying. The diffusion coefficients observed for water vapour passing through the dry region of the self-cure paste surface were much lower than those observed for the control. This has been attribut.
ANTI HYPERGLYCAEMIC AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF CATUNAREGAM SPINOSA (THUNB) AGAINST DEXAMETHASONE INDUCED DIABETES IN RATS

Objective: The study was aimed at evaluating the folkloric use of the Catunaregam spinosa (Thunb) bark for its hypoglycaemic and antioxidant activity against dexamethasone-induced diabetes in wistar rats. Methods: Diabetes was induced in wistar rats by dexamethasone administration 10 mg/kg, b. wt. , s. c for 11 consecutive days to all group animals (except Group I). After confirmation of diabetes, the animals were divided into 5 groups (n=6). Group I: Vehicle control treated with normal saline only, Group II: Diabetic control treated with dexamethasone only, Group III: Standard control treated with dexamethasone plus glibenclamide (5 mg/kg, b. wt., p. o), Group IV and V: Test control received dexamethasone plus ethanolic extract of Catunaregam spinosa (EECS) at graded doses of 200 mg/kg, b. wt. and 400 mg/kg, b. wt. , p. o for 21days respectively. On the last day of the experiment, the effect of Catunaregam spinosa bark was measured by estimating the biochemical and antioxidant parameters. Results: There was a significant alteration in the serum glucose, HbA1c, total proteins, serum lipid profile and tissue antioxidant parameters in dexamethasone-treated animals when compared to the normal control rats. In test groups treated with glibenclamide and EECS, it was significantly ameliorated the altered parameters such as serum glucose, HbA1c, total proteins, serum lipid profile and the antioxidant parameters like SOD, CAT, GSH and MDA when compared to dexamethasone-treated animals with evidence of histopathological studies of the pancreas. Conclusion: The results indicated that the ethanolic extract of Catunaregam Spinosa (Thunb) bark has shown the hypoglycemic and antioxidant property.
4WD mobile robot for autonomous steering using single camera based vision system

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate System-of-Systems (SoS) approach to design and development of unmanned robotic platform for greenhouse agricultural application. Design/methodology/approach – SoS design approach is important in developing engineering products. It was observed that while system integration considers designs in a multi-disciplinary level framework, SoS is viewed as a solution focussed approach. In this paper, the authors have demonstrated SoS approach to develop a mobile robot platform. The wheels of the platform are independently controlled by using brushless DC and stepper motors based on fieldbus type Distributed Control System scheme. Findings – The constraints for autonomous traveling were identified during the first phase followed by development of 12 distinct sub-routines during second phase of training. Optimal camera installation angle, driving speeds, steering angle per pixel were found to be valuable constraints for feed-forward parameters for real-time drivi.
Trust in risk communication in organisations in five countries of North and South America

This paper reports on the development of the Trust in Risk Communication scale (TRC). The TRC measures beliefs in government, management and union trustworthiness. The TRC is found to be significantly associated with (1) perception of risk from industrial hazards, (2) the Mayer, Davis and Schooner trust related factors, (3) dimensions defined by the theory of reasoned action, (4) job satisfaction, and (5) hope. There was no significant relationship between Schwartz values and the TRC. The TRC is shown to have appropriate psychometric characteristics across cultural groups. Data from workers (N=506) in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States suggest that the TRC predicts workers' willingness to accept risk at the workplace. The TRC can assist researchers and practitioners by providing them with an overall assessment of workers' trust in risk management programmes.

A novel triple-actuating mechanism of an active air mount for vibration control of precision manufacturing machines: experimental work

With the goal of vibration control and isolation in a clean room, we propose a new type of air mount which consists of pneumatic, electromagnetic (EM), and magnetorheological (MR) actuators. The air mount is installed below a semiconductor manufacturing machine to reduce the adverse effects caused by unwanted vibration. The proposed mechanism integrates the forces in a parallel connection of the three actuators. The MR part is designed to operate in an air spring in which the EM part is installed. The control logic is developed with a classical method and a switching mode to avoid operational mismatch among the forces developed. Based on extended microprocessors, a portable, embedded controller is installed to execute both nonlinear logic and digital communication with the peripherals. The pneumatic forces constantly support the heavy weight of an upper structure and maintain the level of the air mount. The MR damper handles the transient response, while the EM controller reduces the resonance response, which is switched mutually with a threshold. Vibration is detected by laser displacement sensors which have submicron resolution. The impact test results of three tons load weight demonstrate practical feasibility by showing that the proposed triple-actuating mechanism can reduce the transient response as well as the resonance in the air mount, resulting in accurate motion of the semiconductor manufacturing machine.
The autocatalytic character of the growth of production knowledge: What role does human labor play?

This paper analyzes how the qualitative change in human labor occurs in mutual dependence with the advancement of the epistemic base of technology. Historically, a recurrent pattern can be identified: humans learned to successively transfer labor qualities to machines. The subsequent release of parts of the workforce from performing this labor enabled them to spend this spare time in the search for further technical innovations, i.e., the generation and application of ever-more knowledge. A model examines the autocatalytic relationship between the production of commodities and knowledge. The driving forces of these processes and the mechanisms that limit them are analyzed.
Structural Realization with GGNNs

In this paper, we define an abstract task called structural realization that generates words given a prefix of words and a partial representation of a parse tree. We also present a method for solving instances of this task using a Gated Graph Neural Network (GGNN). We evaluate it with standard accuracy measures, as well as with respect to perplexity, in which its comparison to previous work on language modelling serves to quantify the information added to a lexical selection task by the presence of syntactic knowledge. That the addition of parse-tree-internal nodes to this neural model should improve the model, with respect both to accuracy and to more conventional measures such as perplexity, may seem unsurprising, but previous attempts have not met with nearly as much success. We have also learned that transverse links through the parse tree compromise the model’s accuracy at generating adjectival and nominal parts of speech.
Regional Selective Assistance in Scotland: does it make a difference to plant performance?

Regional Selective Assistance (RSA) is the largest and oldest business support scheme currently operating in Scotland. It provides grants to firms undertaking capital investment projects in economically deprived EU designated ‘Assisted Areas’. As a component of regional policy, the scheme is principally designed to safeguard and generate employment in the Assisted Areas. Many of the grants are given to help foreign firms to set up in Scotland. The aim of this thesis is to estimate the impact of receipt of these grants on plant performance as measured by productivity and survival. The main econometric problem to be confronted when estimating the impact of grants is self-selection bias. Because plants self-select into the treated group, the treated group will have different characteristics from the untreated group which would lead to differences in performance had neither group received treatment. This creates difficulties in estimating the impact of treatment as a simple comparison of a variable across treated and untreated groups will not measure the causal impact of treatment. This problem was dealt with using propensity score matching and instrumental variables. The dataset was created by linking a register of plants that received an RSA grant into the longitudinal ARD which contains the necessary range of financial variables for empirical analysis. This part of the thesis was crucial as failure to identify a high percentage of plants that received a grant in the ARD would seriously undermine the empirical analyses. In the end, a higher proportion of plants that received a grant were linked with the ARD than has been previously achieved using these databases. In the first empirical chapter, the growth of labour productivity and TFP between 1994 and 2004 in Scottish manufacturing plants was decomposed to reveal the contribution of plants that receive an RSA grant. This showed that RSA-assisted plants made a small but positive contribution to both measures of productivity growth. The latter two empirical chapters showed that receipt of an RSA grant had no statistically significant impact on either the TFP or the survival probability of Scottish manufacturing plants between 1984 and 2004 in any of the industries considered. This is a major concern as it casts doubt on whether the jobs created and safeguarded by an RSA grant will endure.
An IFOC-DSVPWM Based DC-Link Voltage Compensation of Z-Source Inverter Fed Induction Motor Drive for EVs

The drop in DC-link voltage of adjustable speed drives (ASD) occurs mainly due to the increase in output power demands. This may lead to inefficient operation and eventually the tripping of the drive. This paper presents a Double Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (DSVPWM) technique for boosting and compensating the DC-link voltage of Z-source inverter (ZSI). The DSVPWM technique estimates the required shoot through period of the Z-source inverter to maintain the DC-link voltage constant at the desired level through capacitor voltage control. The DSVPWM can obtain maximum boost at any given modulation index in comparison to simple boost control (SBC) method. It also utilizes the dead time more effectively. The speed control of the ZSI fed induction motor drive is done by employing indirect field-oriented (IFO) control method. A 32-bit DSP (TMS320F28335) is used to implement the IFOC-DSVPWM method for ZSI. The power structure and the modulation technique are well suited for electric vehicle application.
Effect of load on the flux pulsations and radial-force pulsations of induction motor teeth

The analysis of the influence of slot combination on the flux and force pulsations of induction-motor teeth on load is achieved using conformal transformation. For a given stator slot number, the total airgap field is evaluated for a range of rotor slot numbers and the instantaneous flux entering any tooth is determined. Using a surface integral method, the radial components of force on stator and rotor teeth for any rotor position are also evaluated. Conclusions are drawn about the choice of slot combination.

Design research in the Netherlands 2010 : proceedings of the symposium held on 20-21 May 2010, Eindhoven University of Technology

Design Research in the Netherlands occurs every five years to take stock of the state-of-the-art in design research that takes place in all design disciplines in the Netherlands. How has our understanding of design developed through research on this phenomenon? What are the research and development methodologies used to acquire insight in design? What have we achieved in the past period, and what are out expectations for the coming period? Researchers and research groups outline their development over the past five years in position papers, addressing insights, methods, results, and problems. Design Research in the Netherlands 2010 is the fourth edition, following three symposia held in 1995, 2000, and 2005. The five-year cycle allows to take conceptual distance from everyday problems that are often project-specific, and to assess how the field is developing. The proceedings form a valuable cross-disciplinary overview of research on design.
Assessing the Likelihood of Mine Site Revegetation Success: A Queensland Case Study

Mining companies operating in Queensland have a statutory obligation to rehabilitate mined land. The long-term sustainability and success of the rehabilitation is currently assessed through completion criteria, based on comparisons between rehabilitation and ecological ‘reference’ sites. A copper mine in northwest Queensland was studied in 2002–2003 to examine the difficulties with this comparative approach arising from the differences in ecological, mining and regulatory timeframes. Operation of the mine commenced in 1994 and is expected to cease in 2007. The study provides an overview of revegetation progression at the mine and examines the likelihood of the revegetation satisfying completion criteria. The seven-year old rehabilitated sites and two ‘reference’ sites were examined using Landscape Function Analysis, assessment of vegetation parameters and application of the ‘vital attributes’ model of succession. These studies were used to assess the current status of revegetation, the value of ‘reference’ comparisons and to predict likely successional trajectories. The study showed revegetation has not yet satisfied the completion criteria, which is unsurprising considering the relatively short time passed since the commencement of mining and revegetation work. The study examines the issue of successfully revegetating mined land in a semi-arid to arid zone of Queensland within the current legal framework.
