A Solution to the Parameter Selection and Current Static Error Issues With Frequency Shift Islanding Detection Methods

Frequency shift islanding detection methods have been widely used in inverter-based distributed generations. Two representatives of such methods, Sandia frequency shift (SFS) and reactive current perturbation (RCP) methods, are investigated in this article. The investigation reveals two main issues with these two methods, i.e., parameter selection scheme for positive feedback gain and current static error. The current parameter selection scheme, in particular, is considered unreliable and inconvenient in this article, for it has not considered the weakening effect of PI regulators on positive feedback and the positive feedback gain is actually obtained by trial and error, which makes it difficult to use such methods well in field environments. In view of these issues, this article proposes a solution that contains an improved method to eliminate current static error and a reliable and convenient parameter selection scheme based on system stability analyses. The final simulations and experiments verify the good performance of the improved method and the parameter selection scheme.

A review of the association between schizophrenia and physical diseases

Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disease that afflicts approximately 1% of the population worldwide. A number of reviews have shown that there is an excess mortality in people with schizophrenia, the overall mortality being twice as high as that in the general population. Suicide and accidents account for about 40% of this excess mortality, the rest is due to physical illness. This review describes the comorbidity of people with schizophrenia. A MEDLINE search was conducted by combining the MeSH term of schizophrenia with the terms of the 23 general physical disease categories listed by MeSH. The MEDLINE search yielded 44567 hits. They were selected according to methodological issues. The available data suggest that the prevalence of a number of physical illnesses is increased or decreased in schizophrenia. Strong evidence for elevated rates is available for cardiovascular disorders, for obesity and related problems such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome, for obstetric complications and for HIV infections. Cancer and rheumatoid arthritis were decreased in schizophrenia. Improving the physical health of people with schizophrenia is a major challenge that requires improvements at various levels. The awareness of doctors must be improved, and there is a need for training of psychiatrists in the detection and treatment of physical diseases. Antipsychotic medications with fewer side-effects need to be developed. Further research is warranted.
Dispersion and Intersection of Hydrothermal Plumes in the Manus Back-Arc Basin, Western Pacific

The composition of hydrothermal plumes reflects the physical and chemical characteristics of seafloor hydrothermal fluids, which in turn reflects the host rock and subseafloor reaction conditions as well as the water column processes that act to alter the plumes as they disperse and age. Here, we show that the turbidity, current, pH value, dissolved Fe (dFe), and dissolved Mn (dMn) compositions of hydrothermal plumes can be used to understand the spatial distribution and source of hydrothermal systems in the submarine geological environment. Data were obtained from 18 hydrocast stations, among which the water column samples were collected at 8 stations during the MANUS cruise of R/V KEXUE in 2015. The results showed that the Satanic Mills plume and Fenway plume rose approximately 140 m and 220 m above the seafloor, respectively. In the Satanic Mills plume, dFe remained longer than dMn during lateral plume dispersal. There was a clear intersection of the Satanic Mills plume and Fenway plume between 1625 m and 1550 m in the PACMANUS hydrothermal field, and the varied dispersion trends of the mixed plumes were affected by current velocities at different depths. The physical and chemical properties of the seawater columns in the Manus Basin were affected by the input of high-Mn, high-Fe, and low-Mg vent fluids. The turbidity and dFe, dMn, and dissolved Mg concentrations in the sections of the plumes proximal to the Satanic Mills, Fenway, and Desmos vent sites were generally higher (turbidity, Mn, and Fe) and lower (Mg) than those in the sections of the plumes that were more distal from the vent sites. This implied that the plumes proximal to their vent fluid sources, which were interpreted to have relatively young ages, dispersed chemically over time, and their concentrations became more similar to those of the plumes that were more distal from their vent fluid sources.
Performance improvement of Y-doped VOx microbolometers with nanomesh antireflection layer.

In the study, the yttrium (Y)-doped vanadium oxide (VOx:Y) films used as the sensitive layers of microbolometers were deposited using a radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering system. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of the VOx:Y films was enhanced from -1.88%/°C to -2.85%/°C in comparison with that of the VOx films. To further improve the performance of microbolometers, the nanomesh antireflection layer was placed on the top surface of the microbolometers to reduce the infrared reflection. The responsivity, thermal time constant, thermal conductivity, absorptance, and detectivity of the VOx:Y microbolometers with nanomesh antireflection layer were 931.89 ± 48 kV/W, 4.48 ms, 6.19×10-8 W/K, 74.41% and 2.20×108 cmHz0.5W-1, respectively.
Classification of All-Rounders in the Game of ODI Cricket: Machine Learning Approach

Player classification in the game of cricket is very important, as it helps the coach and the captain of the team to identify each player’s role in the team and assign responsibilities accordingly. The objective of this study is to classify all-rounders into one of the four categories in one day international (ODI) Cricket format and to accurately predict new all-rounders’. This study was conducted using a collection of 177 players and ten player-related performance indicators. The prediction was conducted using three machine learning classifiers , namely Naive Bayes (NB), k-nearest neighbours (kNN), and Random Forest (RF). According to the experimental outcomes, RF indicates significantly better prediction accuracy of 99.4%, than its counter parts.
Implementing clinical guidelines for acute stroke management: Do nurses have a lead role?

Objective: Health professionals should be aware of, and implement, best practice clinical guidelines for stroke care. Using the latest National Stroke Foundation Clinical Guidelines for Acute Stroke Management this study aimed to determine which member of the multidisciplinary team would most likely be responsible for taking the lead role for implementing each recommendation. Methods: Three nurses and one allied health professional independently classified each of the 148 recommendations according to whom they thought most likely to take the lead role in implementing each recommendation. A teleconference was held to discuss any differences of opinion and gain consensus. Results: The multidisciplinary team was identified as responsible for taking the lead role most often (n=54, 36%), followed by medical practitioners (n=52, 35%) and nurses (n=13, 8%). Nurses were identified as being involved either as the lead initiator or as part of the multidisciplinary team in implementing 79 (53%) of recommendations. A significantly higher percentage of recommendations where implementation was determined to be led by medical practitioners were attributed a Grade A or B strength of evidence (ie higher strength) (49%) when compared with those recommendations determined to be led by nurses (6%) (p=0.04). There was no significant difference between the number of Level I or II based recommendations determined to be led by medical practitioners compared to those led by nurses (59%; 11% respectively; p=0.26). Conclusions: Neuroscience nurses have a key role in the multidisciplinary stroke team and should contribute to the implementation of many of the evidence based guideline recommendations for acute stroke.

Event‐based neural network predictive controller application for a distillation column

In this work, the case study is a distillation column, which is a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) nonlinear process. An event‐based neural network predictive controller is utilized for the case study, considering control and energy policies. Computation and communication reduction are the main purposes of the event‐based strategy. The event‐based model predictive controller also copes successfully with the multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) time‐delayed nonlinear processes. In order to achieve a suitable nonlinear data‐based model of the process, an event‐based neural network predictive controller is proposed. Moreover, new Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA) is employed to improve the efficiency of the neural network. Evaluation of the proposed controller has illustrated a satisfactory performance in both setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection while computational load has been significantly decreased.

Precision Medicine: Is Malaysia Ready?

Precision medicine is mainly about genome-driven clinical decision-making which is the use of genome data from the patient to decide on tailoring the best treatment for the patient. The completion of the human genome project in 2003 has paved the way for a deeper understanding of diseases at the molecular level. The term genomics medicine has since emerged as clinicians and researchers capitalized on the knowledge of the genome to improve the management of many diseases. In the past decade, the term personalized or precision medicine was introduced to represent the tailoring of treatment to each individual based on a person’s unique genetic makeup, environment and lifestyle. The coining of the term precision medicine, as opposed to the more common term ‘personalised medicine’, was intended to highlight the principle that subgroups of patients could be defined, often by genomics, and given treatment in more specific ways. In simple terms, it means giving the right treatment to the right patient at the right time with the right outcome. The concept is not entirely new as it has been applied before in the practice of blood transfusion where each patient is given the appropriate blood units based on their blood groups. However, the emergence of genome data has allowed a more comprehensive application of personalized medicine to make it more precise.

Outcomes after Radiation Therapy for HIV Positive Patients with Invasive Cervical Cancer

Objective: To assess tolerance, local control, and survival outcomes for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) positive patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (CC) treated with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and/or brachytherapy from an Assistance Publique - Hopitaux de Paris (APHP) retrospective cohort.Methods: Between 2000 and 2014, 28 HIV positive patients presenting with a non-metastatic CC were treated in one of the five APHP radiation therapy centers. Fifteen patients (54%) underwent primary surgery. Twenty-four patients (88%) received EBRT, with concurrent chemotherapy in 22 cases, and 68% received brachytherapy.Results: The median follow-up was 58 months. At 5 years, local control (LCR) and overall survival rates (OS) were 56% and 46.5% respectively. A grade 3-4 acute toxicity (mainly hematological toxicity) was reported in 18 patients (64%). In univariate analysis, total irradiation dose (p=0.03) and cisplatin-based chemotherapy (p=0.005) were predictive of acute toxicity. A grade 3-4 late toxicity (mainly gastro-intestinal and renal) was observed in 7 patients (25%). In univariate analysis, HIV stage at diagnosis (p=0.02) and an initial CD4 count <200/mm3 (p=0.03) were predictive factors of late toxicity.Conclusion: In this study including HIV positive patients with CC, local control and overall survival rates seemed to be lower than those reported in the literature for non-HIV patients. We also reported an increase in acute and late toxicity, mainly hematological, underlying the fundamental role of immunosuppression in tolerance to radiation therapy.
A Review on Generic and Branded Drugs-Competence of Generic Drugs in Comparison to Branded Drugs

The use of generic or branded drug is a great matter of discussion in recent times globally. The government in different countries is also strictly promoting the use of generic drugs in place of branded ones. A generic drug consists of same active ingredient/ingredients as its branded counterpart and found to be equally efficient therapeutically. The cost of generic drugs are much lesser than the branded drugs as they do not need to go through the robust and costly pre-clinical or clinical studies as done in branded ones which increases the cost of them up to many folds. The present review enlightens the effectiveness of generic drugs as compared to branded drugs and how they work in body. An attempt is also made to highlight the cost comparison between both classes, the regulations and control pertaining to generic and branded drugs.
HRPL Protocol for 6LoWPAN Smart Home System: A Performance Assessment Analysis

The development of Internet of Things (IoT) embedded devices is proliferating, especially in the smart home automation system. However, the devices unfortunately are imposing overhead on the IoT network. Thus, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) have introduced the IPv6 Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) to provide a solution to this constraint. 6LoWPAN is an Internet Protocol (IP) based communication where it allows each device to connect to the Internet directly. As a result, the power consumption is reduced. However, the limitation of data transmission frame size of the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-power and Lossy Network’s (RPL’s) had made it to be the running overhead, and thus consequently degrades the performance of the network in terms of Quality of Service (QoS), especially in a large network. Therefore, HRPL was developed to enhance the RPL protocol to minimize redundant retransmission that causes the routing overhead. We introduced the T-Cut Off Delay to set the limit of the delay and the H field to respond to actions taken within the T-Cut Off Delay. Thus, this paper presents the comparison performance assessment of HRPL between simulation and real-world scenarios (6LoWPAN Smart Home System (6LoSH) testbed) in validating the HRPL functionalities. Our results show that HRPL had successfully reduced the routing overhead when implemented in 6LoSH. The observed Control Traffic Overhead (CTO) packet difference between each experiment is 7.1%, and the convergence time is 9.3%. Further research is recommended to be conducted for these metrics: latency, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), and throughput.
Entrepreneurial Intention of University Students and the Affecting Factors

Entrepreneurial intention is an important variable in fostering prospective entrepreneurs in the future. For this reason, many research projects are conducted to find factors that influence entrepreneurial intention. This study aims to explain the tendency of the research factors that were tested by researchers in predicting entrepreneurial intention of university students, as well as to search for factors that have been proved to be the main predictors. The main data source of this research was twenty articles of research conducted in 19 countries and 5 continents that tested 117 research hypotheses. The type of this research is content analysis. The results showed that the internal factors tended to be more considered in predicting entrepreneurial intentions, while the external factors tended to be tested indirectly in determining entrepreneurial intention. The test results from various research hypotheses showed that the factors that were the main predictors in determining student entrepreneurial intentions were perceived behavioral control, attitude toward entrepreneurship, perceived desirability, entrepreneurship education, perceived feasibility or self-efficacy, and subjective norm, respectively.
