STSM Report: Review and analysis of user proﬁles and cost factors of modelling languages for CPS development

I. PURPOSE OF THE VISIT Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM), was carried out in period of 2nd till 8th of September 2018 at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in Maribor, Slovenia, together with dr. Tomaz Kosar, in the context of the MPM4CPS COST Action IC1404. This report contributes to WG4, and WG1, by reviewing modelling languages and tools in the scope of modelling of CPS, identifying cost factors involved in their use and development, and presenting profile characteristics for users of this tools. Faced with the challenges associated with costs associated to construction of modelling languages and tools, the difficulty arises in the decision when to use them. Typically, Software Engineering project managers need to take decisions of various kinds in relation to the technologies they will use, such as time spent, distribution of tasks, and human resources that are needed. One of the major problems in project management is the lack of information, or evidence, on the technology that confirms the disadvantages, advantages, costs and risks associated with its appropriate decision [7]. Due to the lack of evidence, software engineers can make wrong decisions with medium and long-term impact. In the context of modelling languages and tools, a higher initial investment is required which includes domain analysis which helps to understand the context of the problem [10]. It includes consultation with experts in the field and access to individuals who are experts in language development.

CASE STUDY: ACOUSTICS OF AN INDOOR SHOOTING RANGE

Buildings and indoor spaces should be designed to meet requirements related to their use. This is even more important when there are noise sources inside that produce very high sound levels. This paper presents a case study on the acoustic issues of an indoor shooting range. The shooting range is located inside a multi-story building. There are different facilities in the building including offices, laboratories and a cafeteria. The objective of the study was to assess the acoustics of the shooting range and the possible nuisance caused to nearby premises. A range of measurements were taken. The reverberation time inside the shooting range was measured to see if the coating materials play a part in decreasing the sound pressure levels. Sound levels produced inside the shooting range by the guns were measured to evaluate the sound pressure levels that shooters are exposed and to check if the ear muffs used are suitable. The airborne sound insulation between the shooting range and a nearby office was measured, as were the sound pressure levels produced inside the office by gunshots, in order to understand to what extent the noise generated in the shooting range pollutes the neighboring areas.
Responses of long-tailed macaques to drought and fire in eastern Borneo: a preliminary report

During a 20-month study that spanned a severe drought and forest fire in a Bornean rain forest, a group of long-tailed macaques adapted successfully in the short term to extreme habitat damage by shifting to less preferred food items and exploiting an insect outbreak while fruits and flowers were scarce. Charred and desiccated fruits were major food sources just before the insect outbreak. The group dispersed widely to forage and increased its terrestrial travel. Riverine refuging became more erratic late in the drought and after the fire. The continued presence of sizable populations of this and other diurnal primate species, relative to those of some other frugivores with fixed home ranges and more restricted diets, suggests that dietary breadth is an important factor mediating frugivore responses to habitat degradation. FROM JUNE 1982 THROUGH MAY 1983, the El Ninio Southern Oscillation caused drought and forest fires in East Kalimantan, Indonesia (eastern Borneo), severely damaging approximately 3 million ha of evergreen forest, including large tracts of swamp forest, peat forest, and both selectively logged and undisturbed lowland rain forest (Anonymous 1984, Leighton & Wirawan, in press). My field study of the behavioral ecology of long-tailed macaque monkeys (Macacafascicularis) in the Kutai National Park, conducted from January 1982 through September 1983, spanned the entire drought, fire, and a 5month post-fire period, enabling me to record the responses of one group of macaques to drastic ecological change. In this paper I describe some of the monkeys' feeding and ranging responses. Leighton and Wirawan (in press) provide a general account of the effects of drought and fire on Kutai flora and fauna.

RECEPTIV MUSIKTERAPI MED MISBRUGSPATIENTER – et pilotprojekt

Artiklen omhandler et forskningsprojekt på Sct. Hans Hospital, hvor effekten af receptiv korttidsterapi med misbrugspatienter undersøges. Atten patienter med misbrugsproblematik deltog i et kognitivt terapi-program, som inkluderede receptiv musikterapi i en gruppesetting. Størsteparten af deltagerne havde udover en alvorlig misbrugsproblematik en diagnose indenfor ICD 10s spektrum af personlighedsforstyrrelser. Effekten af musikterapien blev undersøgt ved hjælp af Antonovskys spørgeskema Oplevelse Af Sammenhæng (OAS-29), og et semistruktureret interview efter terapiperioden på ti sessioner. Interviewet fokuserede på patienternes opfattelse af, hvad de havde haft mest gavn af i terapiperioden. Resultaterne viste en signifikant fremgang i alle tre OAS sub-skalaer (meningsfuldhed, begribelighed, håndterbarhed), og alle deltagerne fandt at musikterapidelen af deres program var en betydningsfuld udvidelse af den kognitive terapi. For flertallet af deltagerne spillede musikterapien en væsentlig rolle i deres restitueringsproces, og specifikke billeder, symboler og følelser fra musikterapien gjorde stærkt indtryk på dem. Artiklen præsenterer udvalgte musikeksempler og kliniske vignetter.
Endangering Causes of an Endemic Plant Heptacodium miconioides in East China

Heptacodium miconioides is an endangered species mainly distributed in Zhejiang and Anhui Province, China. To understanding its endangering causes, previous studies were reviewed from aspects of plant migration in history, present geographical distribution and resources, biological and ecological characteristics and effect of human disturbance. The results showed that the strong climatic changes might result in a massive shrinkage of its distribution in history, which might be main cause for its modern habitat fragmentation and rare resources. Low genetic diversity due to the bottleneck and founder effect decreased its ecological adaptability. Moreover, its inherent characteristics, such as low genetic diversity, sexual reproductive obstacle and special status in forest, limited its population recruitment. To preserve this species, in situ conservation plan establishing nature reserve or spot and enlarging its population size were recommended.
Effects of laccase/HBT treatment on pulp and lignin structures

La delignification a ete augmentee de facon importante a la fois pour une pâte kraft de pin et une pâte kraft de pin delignifiee a l'oxygene, a l'aide d'un traitement par la laccase a mediateur HBT (1-hydroxybenzotriazole) comparativement aux traitements de reference. Les lignines residuelles des pâtes avant et apres les divers traitements ont ete isolees et caracterisees. La laccase sans mediateur n'a pas permis de delignifier la pâte, ni de depolymeriser ou de polymeriser la lignine dans les fibres. Toutefois, la lignine de la fibre a subi certaines modifications chimiques mineures. Par contre, la laccase et le HBT ensemble ont permis de degrader la lignine des fibres de pâte. Le traitement par la laccase a mediateur HBT a aussi entraine une augmentation de la teneur en groupements carbonyles et carboxyles, ainsi qu'une diminution de la teneur en groupements methoxyles et hydroxyles phenoliques libres des lignines residuelles.

A Zig-zag Transformer based Hybrid Power Filter with Cascaded Three level Multilevel Inverter to Enhance Power Quality in Three-Phase Four-wire Distribution Power System

In distribution power systems, due to nonlinear loads, harmonic currents are induced. These harmonic currents increase the losses in the distribution transformer which in turn reduce the efficiency. The Unbalance loading also results in neutral line current, which is undesirable. In worst case of the loading, the neutral current is twice the rated current which it can melt the neutral conductor of the distribution transformer. Different types of filters with different configurations are used to reduce the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and neutral line current. But the drawbacks of the existing filters will result in high THD, high DC link voltage and high filter currents. In this paper, A zig-zag transformer based Hybrid power filter with Cascaded three level multilevel inverter is used to reduce the neutral conductor current, harmonic currents, DC link voltage across capacitor and filter currents. The validity of the model is verified using MATLAB simulation results. Keywords—Harmonic currents, THD, zig-zag transformer, multilevel inverter, DC link voltage.
APPLICATION OF LIGHT BLASTING FOR PRETREATMENT OF POLYMER PARTS BEFORE BONDED JOINTS FORMATION

This contribution deals with the application of light blasting media – Bohemia garnet for forming adhesively bonded joints. It is known that surface quality evaluation of grit blasted surfaces by Ra arithmetic mean average roughness parameter only was insufficient. Experimental results show there is no direct correlation between surface roughness and bond joint strength, because surface roughness and surface irregularity are not identical terms. Fractal analysis is presented as a suitable tool for surface irregularity evaluation. Fractal dimension is shown as an additional parameter for bond joint strength prediction. As reference blasting material was used high-carbon cast steel grit.
The wreath product of Z with Z has Hilbert compression exponent 2/3

Let G be a finitely generated group, equipped with the word metric d associated with some finite set of generators. The Hilbert compression exponent of G is the supremum over all $\alpha\ge 0$ such that there exists a Lipschitz mapping $f:G\to L_2$ and a constant $c>0$ such that for all $x,y\in G$ we have $\|f(x)-f(y)\|_2\ge cd(x,y)^\alpha. $ In \cite{AGS06} it was shown that the Hilbert compression exponent of the wreath product $\Z\bwr \Z $ is at most $\frac34$, and in \cite{NP07} was proved that this exponent is at least $\frac23$. Here we show that $\frac23$ is the correct value. Our proof is based on an application of K. Ball's notion of Markov type.
ON THE ARRANGEMENT OF ARAGONITE CRYSTALS IN THE INNER LAYER OF THE NACRE

It was reported in the preceding paper) that the nacreous layer of the pearl oyster, Pinctada martensii, was composed of the mosaic structure of minute aragonite crystals which arranged their orthorhombic b axes parallel or nearly parallel to the horizontal growth direction of the shell. But the crystal arrangement differed from portion to portion of the nacre, and among individual shells. In this case, special attention has been paid to the relation between the shell development and the arrangement of the crystalographic axis, and to the spiral growth of aragonite crystals on the nacreous surface. In this paper, the relationship among the horizontal growth of the shell, the arrangement and the growth pattern of small aragonite crystals on the inner shell surface was investigated for the several pearl oysters of the genus Pinctada with Xray diffraction and polarizing microscope.
Effect of Herpesvirus Inhibition on Primary SIV Infection in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Foscarnet and (-)9-[4-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)butyl] guanine (H2G) have already been shown to inhibit herpesviruses in vitro and also to inhibit viral antigen production in primary SIV infection in monkeys. Attempts have been made to determine if these invivo effects on SIV were due to a direct effect on SIV or were mediated through inhibition of endogenous transactivating herpesviruses. The possible involvement of herpesviruses in primary SIVsm infection in monkeys was studied by the use of various inhibitors of herpesvirus replication. Subcutaneous injections of 3 × 5 mg kg−1 day−1 of aciclovir, 3 × 5 mg kg−1 day−1 of ganciclovir and 3 × 28 mg kg−1 day−1 of phosphonoacetic acid had no effect on primary SIVsm infection in cynomolgus monkeys. These doses of aciclovir, ganciclovir and phosphonoacetic acid are inhibitory to several herpesviruses. The results suggest that the effects of foscarnet and H2G on primary SIVsm infection in monkeys are direct and not mediated through inhibition of a replicating herpesvirus.
Margit Osterloh Dialogue Devices : Bridging between “ Mode 1 ” and “ Mode 2 ” Knowledge Production

This paper examines the relationship between organization theory and organizational practice. We discuss how scholars and practitioners can come together in a joint knowledge production dialogue. We concentrate on the methodological approach of Giddens because it offers the building block how to handle the often criticized trade-off between rigor and relevance: the notion of “double hermeneutic”. We use double hermeneutic for discussing joint knowledge production between scholars and practitioners. Our aim is to operationalize it into “dialogue devices”. They serve as helpful guidelines for facilitating the mutual dialogue. Dialogue devices are the result of a Mode 1.5 of knowledge production and mediate between both perspectives, without giving up the critical position of scholars. We also explain why management fashions can be used as a guide for intervening to start this dialogue process.
Proporcionalidade directa como função: da perfeição à realidade a bordo de um robot

This paper relates part of a research whose aim is to describe, analyse and understand how students learn mathematics having robots as mediators of learning. A qualitative methodology was chosen, aiming the research at describing, analysing and understanding 8th grade students’ mathematical activity while learning functions. The pedagogical proposal consisted in five tasks which included the use of simple robots Robotics Invention System, Lego Mindstorm, two worksheets and a two-stage written test. Data analysis and conclusions drawing were carried out bearing in mind the role played by robots in solving mathematical problems, in the construction of representations, in the learning of functions and in the improvement of mathematical competence. In this paper we will discuss how robots contribute to the learning of mathematics, in particular direct proportionality functions.

Territorial position in sharp-tailed grouse leks: the probability of fertilization

Alexander (1975) described a nonresource-based mating system as one where males offer mates and young only gametes. Studies of nonresource-based mating systems are important in understanding mate choice and evolution because complicating variables are not involved. In this system, female choice is theoretically based only on benefits derived from males. Sharp-tailed Grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus) exhibit a nonresource-based mating system. During the breeding season, males display on leks (Lumsden 1965, Hjorth 1970) with females preferring males with territories located centrally in the lek (Lumsden 1965, Hjorth 1970). We examined why females prefer to mate with central males on the lek. Specifically, do females that choose central males benefit by increased probability of fertilization (Avery 1984)? We relate increased probability of fertilization to sperm availability (Eng 1963) and sperm number (David et al. 1979). Sperm must be available at the appropriate time (i.e., when females are receptive) and in adequate quantity to ensure fertilization of ova. If sperm are inadequate in quantity, females risk reproductive success for the year, as females of lekking grouse species typically copulate only once (Kruijt and Hogan 1967, Wiley 1973).
ACANTHOCEPHALA FROM LAKE FISHES IN WISCONSIN: MORPHOMETRIC GROWTH OF POMPHORHYNCHUS BULBOCOLLI (POMPHORHYNCHIDAE)

The trunk, proboscis, basal proboscis hooks, neck (exclusive of bulb), bulb, basal hooks, anterior testis, and eggs of Pomphorhynchus bulbcolli Linkins in Van Cleave, 1919, were studied in 7 length classes of worms ranging between 2 and 16 mm. All structures, except proboscis hooks, showed progressive and continuous growth corresponding with increase i omomn worm length. Growth was most rapid in worms shorter than 6 mm including mostly immatures. Females smaller than 6 mm had no eggs. Eggs and proboscis hooks in worms longer than 6 mm were sufficiently stable to be of reasonable taxonomic value. Growth in bulb diameter and length of proboscis hooks and neck appear essential for the special attachment mechanism characteristic of P. bulbocolli. The small size of these structures in recently ingested immatures permits the freedom to disengage, move, and reattach. Within 2-3 wk, these structures reach considerable size in worms ca. 6 mm long. Once secured, maturation and reproductive activity become evident as growth slows down. The reported study provides a reference line against which a comparison with other species, e.g., P. rocci Cordonnier and Ward, 1967, may be made.
A phase I study of tirapazamine in combination with radiation and weekly cisplatin in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer

5543 Background and Purpose: Hypoxia is an adverse prognostic factor in locoregionally advanced cervical cancer treated with radiation. GOG are currently studying the hypoxic cytotoxin, tirapazamine (TPZ) in combination with biweekly intermediate dose cisplatin (CIS) and radiation in a large phase III trial. The aim of this phase I study was to develop a better tolerated regimen that added TPZ to the standard regimen of radiation and weekly low dose CIS. Methods: Eligible patients had previously untreated carcinoma of the cervix, Stages IB2 - IVA. The starting schedule was radiotherapy (45 to 50.4 Gy external beam radiation followed by brachytherapy), with concomitant weekly CIS 40 mg/m2 weeks 1–6 and weekly TPZ 290 mg/m2 (prior to CIS) in weeks 1–5. Results: Between 3/05 and 7/06 eleven patients were enrolled, median age (range) 52 (31–65), squamous cell carcinoma 10, adenocarcinoma 1, 1B2–5, IIA-1, IIB-3, IIIB- 1, IVA-1. The first 2 patients on dose level 1 experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT), on.
