Fuzzy Energy Management for a Catenary-Battery-Ultracapacitor based Hybrid Tramway

In this paper, an energy management strategy (EMS) based on fuzzy logic control for a catenary-battery-ultracapacitor powered hybrid modern tramway was presented. The fuzzy logic controller for the catenary zone and catenary-less zone was respectively designed by analyzing the structure and working mode of the hybrid system, then an energy management strategy based on double fuzzy logic control was proposed to enhance the fuel economy. The hybrid modern tramway simulation model was developed based on MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation results show that the proposed EMS can satisfy the demand of dynamic performance of the tramway and achieve the power distribution reasonably between the each power source.

Safe Flight Envelope Uncertainty Quantification

Loss of Control is the primary contributor to aviation fatalities. To prevent this type of accident, flight envelope protection is considered to be a necessary development. The calculation of the Safe Flight Envelope provides a bound on the states that can safely be approached by the aircraft. Although theoretically accurate, some states may not be reachable under the influence of disturbances (e.g. turbulence). In this paper a stochastic extension to the reachability analysis is applied to a simplified aircraft model. The probabilistic reachability analysis yields the transition probability from a state to the target set. By comparing the deterministic and probabilistic Safe Flight Envelope, it becomes clear that the Safe Flight Envelope can shrink considerably under the influence of turbulence. It is shown that for a 3σ (99.7 %) confidence interval, the envelope can shrink by as much as 50.8 % compared to the deterministic envelope. Furthermore, it is found that for high roll angles, some parts of the deterministic envelope have a 0 % transition probability under the influence of turbulence, further emphasizing the importance of probabilistic envelopes.
Comparative Tissue Distribution in Mice of the Â«-Emitter211Atand of a Monoclonal Antibody and F(ab')2 Fragment1

Because it decays by the emission of short-range, high-energy <>- particles, the radiohalogen '"Ai might be a particularly useful nuclide for some types of radioimmunotherapy. However, no suitable 7-emitting nuclide of astatine exists whch would permit either imaging prior to therapy to obtain radiation dosimetry estimates or performing experi ments in paired-label format. Since iodine is the halogen above astatine in the periodic table, we investigated whether the in vivo ditribution of '"I could be used to mimic the biodistribution of 2"At. In this study, the A'-succinimidyl 3-(trialkylstannyl)benzoate method was used to label C110 IgG, an antibody directed against carcinoembryonic antigen, and its (Fab')2 fragment with 2"At and '"I. Paired-label experiments were performed in normal mice comparing the tissue distribution of J"At-versus "'"I-labeled Cl 10 IgG and F(ab')2 as well as [2"At)astatide versus |'"I|iodide and m-|2"At|astatobenzoic acid versus m-[IJII]iodobenzoic acid, potential catabolites of proteins radiohalogenated via the /V-succi- nimidyl 3-(trialkylstannyl)benzoate method. With the exception of thy roid, retention of astatide in tissues was higher than that of iodide; and, with the halobenzoic acids, uptake of2" At was higher than '"I in thyroid, stomach, and spleen. Use of the jV-succinimidyl 3-(trialkylstan- nyl)benzoate method to label i 110 IgG with '" \i and '"I resulted in similar distributions of the two nuclides. In contrast, loss of '"Ai from the I (al)'). ' fragment was considerably more rapid than '"I, suggesting that different astatination methods may be required for use with F(ab')2 fragments.
Translation Typology of Modal in Unclos 1982 in Indonesian

A good comprehesion on the content of the convention of the law as formulated in the UNCLOS 1982 text translated into Konvensi Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa Tentang Hukum Laut (KPBB-HL) in Indonesian is very crucial for the Republic of Indonesia because of the potentials of the sea. The data were 399 modal in UNCLOS and its translation. The translation of the UNCLOS 1982 into Indonesian should be accurate. Inaccuracy of the translation of the text, namely modal (Alwi 1992; Lyon 1977) can cause a conflict among the neighboring countries. The research objectives were (1) to identify the translation typology of modal in UNCLOS 1982 into KPBB-HL, (2) to assess the accuracy of the translation of modal. Qualitative descriptive method and content analysis (Miles and Huberman 2014) were implemented. Focus Group Discussion with the raters were carried out to assess the accuracy (Silalahi: 2012, Nababan: 2004; 2012). The result showed that there were 8 types of modal used, namely shall (269 data; 67.5%) with 6 translation types, may (88 data; 22%) with 6 translation types, should (16 data; 4%) with 7 translation types, can (9 data; 2%) with 2 translation types, must (6 data; 1.5%) with 2 translation types, would (6 data; 1.5%) with 3 translation types, will (3 data; 1%) with 1 translation type, might (2 data; 0.5%) with 1 translation type. 325 (81%) of the modal were accurately translated, and 74 data (19%) were inaccurately translated.
« Sandwich- Course in Higher Education and Entrepreneurship Awareness: Case of the Graduates from University Apprenticeship Training Centre Corsica »

Long limited to level V and VI courses, often intended for students who failed academically, sandwich courses radically tarnish this typical image and gradually gain ground in higher education. Increasing the average graduation rate, ensuring a better vocational integration, this training system has proven to be a path to excellence and a pathway to employment. Sandwich courses in higher education seems to stay the course in a gloomy social and economic context, especially among young graduates. Such a situation is first due to learning reasons (graduation rate, promotion majors.), but ultimately, sandwich courses pull out of the game in the workforce market by potentiating concurrently occupational integration, graduates' employability and entrepreneurship awareness. CFA Univ Corsica, a regional leader in sandwich courses after completion of secondary studies (60% of students in Corsica), is the structuring player in the island economy insofar as almost 8000 island companies will have to be sold within the next 10 years.
Reconstruction of multispectral light field (5d plenoptic function) based on compressive sensing with colored coded apertures from 2D projections

In the last decade, spatio – angular (light field) acquisition systems have advanced due to the inclusion of coded apertures in the optical path. These coded apertures, modulate the light, encoding the information before being captured. Traditionally, these coded apertures are binary, i.e. block and unblock the light rays in the spatial dimension, capturing sparse information of the scene. In this work, the binary coded aperture is replaced by a colored coded aperture which modulates the source not only spatially but spectrally. Thereby, it is possible to capture light fields in multiple wavelengths yielding high spectral resolution. The spectral information provides many features of a scene in different wavelengths, these features are not present in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this paper, an algorithm that simulates the light field sampling with colored coded apertures is proposed. The proposed algorithm, exploits the redundant information of the scene based on the compressive sensing theory thus, capturing just a sparse signal. The multidimensional image can be recovered from the underlying signal through a reconstruction algorithm. Several simulations show the quality of the multispectral light field reconstructions. The PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) values obtained for the reconstructions are around 25 dB.
SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATIONS, AND ADSORPTION ISOTHERMS OF CO 2 ON CHROMIUM TEREPHTHALATE (MIL-101) METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS (MOF)

The concentration of CO 2 in the atmosphere caused by fossil fuels, power plants, and transportation is the most significant environmental issue in the world today. Intensive efforts have been made to minimize CO 2 levels to reduce global warming. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), crystalline porous materials, exhibit great potential to adsorb carbon dioxide. In the present study, research was conducted on the synthesis, characterization, and adsorption isotherms of MIL-101. MIL-101, one type of mesoporous MOF, can adsorb enormous amounts of CO 2 . The synthesis was carried out using a fluorine-free hydrothermal reaction method. The porous properties, structure, morphology, thermal stability, and chemical functionalities of MIL-101 Cr were measured by N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, respectively. The volumetric uptakes of CO 2 were experimentally measured at temperatures of 298-308 K and pressure of up to 600 kPa. The experimental result was correlated with the Toth isotherm model, showing the heterogeneity of the adsorbent. The heat of adsorption of MIL-101 was determined from the measured isotherm data, indicating the strength between the adsorbent and adsorbate molecule.
Parameter Determination in Relax-and-Fix Heuristics

Relax-and-Fix (RF) heuristics are normally executed using parameters determined by trial-and-error. Using numerical methods, the parameters of the Relax-and-Fix heuristic can be optimized. In this thesis, the definition of a Relax-and-Fix parameter is reviewed. Then, the parameters are optimized using two different methods. At first, a method which seeks optimal subproblem orders for the RF heuristic is introduced. Secondly, the subproblem sizes of the RF heuristic are made dynamic, to check if the commonly used homogeneous subproblem size can be improved.
Design of reliable universal QCA logic in the presence of cell deposition defect

ABSTRACT The emergence of Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) has resulted in being identified as a promising alternative to the currently prevailing techniques of very large scale integration. QCA can provide low-power nanocircuit with high device density. Keeping aside the profound acceptance of QCA, the challenge that it is facing can be quoted as susceptibility to high error rate. The work produced in this article aims towards the design of a reliable universal logic gate (r-ULG) in QCA (r-ULG along with the single clock zone and r-ULG-II along with multiple clock zones). The design would include hybrid orientation of cells that would realise majority and minority, functions and high fault tolerance simultaneously. The characterisation of the defective behaviour of r-ULGs under different kinds of cell deposition defects is investigated. The outcomes of the investigation provide an indication that the proposed r-ULG provides a fault tolerance of 75% under single clock zone and a fault tolerance of 100% under dual clock zones. The high functional aspects of r-ULGs in the implementation of different logic functions successfully under cell deposition defects are affirmed by the experimental results. The high-level logic around the multiplexer is synthesised, which helps to extend the design capability to the higher-level circuit synthesis.
Regulation of Expression of the Fatty Acid Synthase Gene in 3T3-Ll Cells by Differentiation and Triiodothyronine*

We have previously reported that fatty acid synthase mRNA levels increase 10-15-fold during the differ- entiation of 3T3-Ll cells to adipocytes, correlating well with the increase in the relative rate of synthesis for this enzyme. Here we show by transcription run-on assays that fatty acid synthase is highly transcribed in both preadipocytes and adipocytes. Furthermore, the transcription rate of the fatty acid synthase gene increased only 1.5-fold during the adipose conversion, whereas the apparent mRNA half-life increased from 2.5 h in preadipocytes to approximately 20 h in adipocytes. These results indicate that the increase in mRNA level during adipose conversion is not only due to the transcriptional activation of this gene but re-flects the post-transcriptional stabilization of the mes- sage in adipocytes compared to preadipocytes. As thyroid hormone has been reported to increase lipogenic enzyme activities including fatty acid synthase in adi- pose tissue and in differentiating adipocytes in vitro, we used fully differentiated 3T3-Ll adipocytes to study T3 regulation of mammalian fatty acid synthase expression. We measured the effect of T3 on the rela- tive rate of protein synthesis, mRNA content, and transcription rate of this gene. When mature adipocytes were treated with 10 nM T3, the relative rate of synthesis of fatty acid synthase increased 1.9-fold at 6 h, and it reached a maximum of 2.9-fold at 12 h. In addition, Northern blot analysis showed that T3 increased the steady-state mRNA level for fatty acid synthase by 2.4-fold at 12

HYDRO: A Hybrid Routing Protocol for Lossy and Low Power Networks

HYDRO is a hybrid routing protocol for Lossy and Low power Networks (L2Ns) that embraces centralized and distributed routing mechanisms. Through the use of standard ICMP Route Advertisements and Route Solicitations, Node Routers build Default Routes to Border Routers. These routes, which maintain multiple options per each Node Router when available, are maintained through data-driven link estimation. Node Routers periodically report a high-quality subset of their Default Route Table to Border Routers, which then form a global view of the topology. When a Node Router attempts to route to another Node Router in the network, if no matching entry exists in the Node Router's Flow Table, it forwards the packet to a Border Router, which then installs the correct Flow Table Entries in the network to enable more efficient subsequent routing.
ENHANCE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE CONSER VATION USING BIM TECHNOLOGY

: Common problems tend to surface during the restoration and maintenance of wooden structures for architectural heritage: (1) recording and communicating geometric and non-geometric information, (2) integrating and managing the multiple phases of construction and (3) the structural damage that can be incurred during the dismantling process. This leads to less confidence in the quality of restoration and maintenance. This study considers the traditional wooden structures in Taiwan as a basis to discuss the issues faced during restoration and the gap in communication between designers and builders. Using new tech-niques, resources and the concept of BIM, a plugin is developed for guiding restoration. It serves as a BIM-based communication platform for designers and builders, enabling the real-time exchange of information to minimize any gaps that may exist between the designers’ information and that of the builders. This allows information related to the restoration to be more accurate and offers the assurance that the traditional architecture retains its original structure and value.

J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol., 47, 161–180 (2001)

Chlorophylls (Chls) and bacteriochlorophylls (BChls) are porphyrin derivatives chelated with magnesium, and represent a class of lipophilic pigments involved in natural photosynthesis. There has been no rational explanation for why extant phototrophic organisms have used Mg exclusively as the central metal with which the chlorophyllous pigments are complexed. Apart from this question, phototrophic organisms that use Chls or BChls containing metals other than Mg were unknown for a long time. Recently, this common understanding of natural photosynthesis was unexpectedly modified by the new finding that a novel purple pigment, zinc-chelated-BChl (Zn-BChl) (for abbreviations, see Takaichi et al. (1999)), was discovered in a specific group of obligately aerobic bacteria (Hiraishi et al., 1998; Wakao et al., 1996, 1999). It has been satisfactorily demonstrated that BChls are present not only in facultatively and obligately anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria but also in large numbers of species of obligately aerobic bacteria Aerobic anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria with zinc-bacteriochlorophyll
Does litigation encourage or deter real earnings management?

In this paper, we rely on an exogenous shock to examine the impact of litigation risk on real earnings management (REM). We conduct differences-in-differences tests centered on an unanticipated court ruling that reduced litigation risk for firms headquartered in the Ninth Circuit. REM increases significantly following the ruling for Ninth-Circuit firms relative to other firms, consistent with litigation risk deterring REM. Additional analyses reveal that REM rises more following the ruling when firms issue more optimistic disclosures. The evidence is consistent with litigation deterring REM by constraining managers’ ability to issue optimistic and misleading disclosures that can conceal the myopic and opportunistic motives underlying REM. We further document that an increase in REM in response to a decline in litigation risk is more pronounced when managers have higher incentives to manipulate earnings and governance mechanisms are weaker.
Seasonal Variation in Planktonic Microcrustacea (Copepoda, Cladocera) Diversity in Kadiköy Reservoir (Edirne/Turkey)

This study was carried out to determine the diversity, abundance and seasonal distribution of microcrustacea (Cladocera, Copepoda) in Kadıköy Reservoir. For this purpose, microcrustacea and water samples were taken at monthly intervals from March 2010 to February 2011 in three different stations from the reservoir. As a result of qualitative and quantitative analyses of the samples, a total of 27 taxa, 19 taxa from Cladocera and 8 taxa from Copepoda were identified. The quantitative evaluation of the samples revealed an average value of 51463 ind/m 3 in the reservoir. The annual average values according to the groups were 33766 ind/m 3 (66%) for Cladocera and 17697 ind/m 3 (34%) for Copepoda. According to the water quality standards, the temperature, pH, nitrate nitrogen, sulphate and phosphate were found at first and second quality levels. In terms of dissolved oxygen the water was found at first quality level, nitrite nitrogen was found between second and third quality levels. Microcrustacea fauna and physicochemical parameters were evaluated together and the reservoir was concluded to be a meso-eutrophic water body
Association of myeloma protein with IgG and its poor reactivity against anti-human λ antibodies: A case of IgD (λ)-type multiple myeloma

characterized. The immunochemical reactivity of IgD M-protein against anti-λ antibodies was extremely low and the IgD-IgG complex was present in the patient's serum. The complex was dissociated in the presence of SDS, indicating that the association was formed via non-covalent binding. In a reassociation test, IgG prepared from normal subjects did not form a complex with the patient's IgD pretreated with a reducing agent, but formed a complex with IgD pretreated with papain. These results suggest that IgG formed a complex with the Fab of the patient's IgD.
Preserving Reverberation in a Sinusoidally Modeled Pitch Shifter

Many pitch shifting algorithms suffer when the signal contains reverberation. In general, it is possible to preserve the spectral envelope of the original sound, however, an appropriate phase response can only be estimated for minimum phase systems such as vocal formants. This paper presents a pitch shifting algorithm that preserves the reverberant qualities of the original signal by modifying the instantaneous amplitude and frequency trajectories of a sinusoidal model. For each overtone, the sinusoidal trajectories are decomposed into correlated and uncorrelated components and a deviation spectrum is calculated. To synthesize the modiﬁed sound, the uncorrelated components are adjusted to preserve the deviation spectrum. The resulting trajectories and sounds are then compared with those of a standard pitch shifter.
