Communication Control System of UAV Based On 5G Network

Remote control is the traditional control mode of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which limits the signal transmission distance. To accomplish ultra-long-distance UAV control, we propose a communication control system which based on 5G network to transmit UAV control signals. We develop a backstage service platform based on 5G network to connect with the communication module installed on the remote UAV. In this paper, we describe the detail of this system which realizes the normal communication control of the remote UAV and the service platform. Our experiment results show that our system has the characteristics of stability and scalability.
Mothering A Child with Mental Disability in Egyptian Culture: Perceptions of Stigma

The purpose of the study was to explore and identify the experiences of mothers raising different mentally disabled child in the Egyptian society. Thirty mothers of children with mental disabilities have been selected and interviewed. They were diagnosed as Down syndrome (10 cases), Fragile-X (10 cases) and 10 with Autism. The interviewing process included two phases; introductory, and in-depth questions about mothers‘ personal experiences in raising kids with special needs. The results of the interviews showed that 90% of these mothers were literate, 63% end up divorced and 66% leaved their jobs to take care of their special needs kid. Sadness, guilt, shame and isolation were some of the feelings of mothers who participated in this research, in addition to the overwhelm of being stigmatized by the society. Findings highlighted that provision of adequate education, health care and stigma were the main issues for mothers. The study reported that Egyptians do not have the culture of the psychiatrist. Despite considerable progress in recent years, Egypt is still marked by discriminatory attitudes which affect children with disabilities and their mothers. The study concluded that despite the autistic associations programs to increase public awareness about Autism, yet fragile-X still remains poorly understood for most of the Egyptians. We discovered that mothers of children with Fra X syndrome and autistics were less optimistic than those with Down syndrome mothers. Study suggested strategies to help ease the stigmatization included providing simple information about genetic diseases that non-medical individuals can easily grasp.
A SOP planning method for distribution network based on improved genetic algorithm considering EV integration

With the progress of electric vehicles, there comes a huge number of problems about cost inflation and workload increases in power distribution systems, which caused by the growing number of electric vehicles plugging. Hence, an optimal planning scheme of soft open point (SOP) considering the connection of electric vehicle to power distribution system is proposed. First of all, a SOP two-layer planning model for site selection and capacity determination was established to seek for site selection and capacity determination, so as to minimize the cost. The hybrid optimization algorithm composed of improved genetic algorithm and power flow algorithm was used to solve the problem. Further, the variation of voltage level, before and after the SOP connected to the distribution network, is also analyzed. Finally, the rationality and feasibility of the two-layer programming model of SOP site selection and constant capacity and the hybrid optimization algorithm composed of improved genetic algorithm and power flow algorithm are analyzed with IEEE 33 node example system, and the planning conclusion of effectively reducing the operating cost of the distribution system is obtained. After plugging in SOP according to the planning results, the node voltage value, the average per unit value and the performance of the distribution system are improved to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the operation efficiency, relative error and the convergence capacity according to the modified algorithm are superior to conventional algorithm.
Effectiveness of Ultraviolet-C Room Disinfection on Preventing Healthcare-Associated Clostridioides difficile Infection

Background: Enhanced terminal room cleaning with ultraviolet C (UVC) disinfection has become more commonly used as a strategy to reduce the transmission of important nosocomial pathogens, including Clostridioides difficile, but the real-world effectiveness remains unclear. Objectives: We aimed to assess the association of UVC disinfection during terminal cleaning with the incidence of healthcare-associated C. difficile infection and positive test results for C. difficile within the nationwide Veterans Health Administration (VHA) System. Methods: Using a nationwide survey of VHA system acute-care hospitals, information on UV-C system utilization and date of implementation was obtained. Hospital-level incidence rates of clinically confirmed hospital-onset C. difficile infection (HO-CDI) and positive test results with recent healthcare exposures (both hospital-onset [HO-LabID] and community-onset healthcare-associated [CO-HA-LabID]) at acute-care units between January 2010 and December 2018 were obtained through routine surveillance with bed days of care (BDOC) as the denominator. We analyzed the association of UVC disinfection with incidence rates of HO-CDI, HO-Lab-ID, and CO-HA-LabID using a nonrandomized, stepped-wedge design, using negative binomial regression model with hospital-specific random intercept, the presence or absence of UVC disinfection use for each month, with baseline trend and seasonality as explanatory variables. Results: Among 143 VHA acute-care hospitals, 129 hospitals (90.2%) responded to the survey and were included in the analysis. UVC use was reported from 42 hospitals with various implementation start dates (range, June 2010 through June 2017). We identified 23,021 positive C. difficile test results (HO-Lab ID: 5,014) with 16,213 HO-CDI and 24,083,252 BDOC from the 129 hospitals during the study period. There were declining baseline trends nationwide (mean, −0.6% per month) for HO-CDI. The use of UV-C had no statistically significant association with incidence rates of HO-CDI (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.032; 95% CI, 0.963–1.106; P = .65) or incidence rates of healthcare-associated positive C. difficile test results (HO-Lab). Conclusions: In this large quasi-experimental analysis within the VHA System, the enhanced terminal room cleaning with UVC disinfection was not associated with the change in incidence rates of clinically confirmed hospital-onset CDI or positive test results with recent healthcare exposure. Further research is needed to understand reasons for lack of effectiveness, such as understanding barriers to utilization. Funding: None Disclosures: None
Hydrothermal conversion of self-assembled titanate nanotubes into nanowires in a revolving autoclave

Titanate nanowires were synthesized through the hydrothermal synthesis route (10 M NaOH, 130 °C) from anatase in a rotating autoclave. A combined TEM, SEM, XRD, FT−Raman, and N2 adsorption investigation of the reaction products as a function of time revealed that the 60−150 nm wide and ∼5 μm long nanowires are in fact formed by the merging of self-assembled nanotube bundles. The nanowires are able to further self-assemble into ∼5 μm wide and longer than 30 μm long, dense “superbundles” if the reaction is allowed to run long enough. We propose that the spontaneous nanotube arrangement could be caused by the rotation-assisted oriented attachment of the tubes.

Isolation and Identification of Major Mastitis Causing Bacteria from Clinical Cases of Bovine Mastitis in Kashmir Valley

Background: Mastitis is one of the most economically important diseases of dairy animals causing heavy losses in terms of fall in milk production, decreased milk quality and additional costs for veterinary services. Mastitis is caused by a wide variety of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, yeast and mycoplasma, of which bacteria are the most frequently isolated pathogens. Microbiological testing is necessary for identification of cause of mastitis and adaptation of control measures to prevent the disease. The aim of the presnt study was to isolate and identify major mastitis causing bacteria from clinical mastitic cases presented to Veterinary Clinical complex, FVSc. and AH, Shuhama Kashmir for treatment. Methods: A total of 200 bovine milk samples from CMT confirmed clinical mastitis cases were collected and cultured on Nutrient agar, Blood agar, Mac-Conkey agar, Eosine Methylene Blue (EMB) agar, Mannitol salt agar and Edwards media for bacterial isolation. The isolates were then subjected to biochemical tests for identification. Result: Upon microbiological testing and biochemical confirmation, the major mastitis causing bacteria isolated from clinical cases of Bovine mastitis were Staphylococcus Spp. showing highest prevalence of 46.4% followed by mixed infection with Staphylococcus and Streptococcus (20.8%), Streptococci Spp. (18.4%) and Escherichia coli (14.4%).
DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL MICROSTRUCTURED LIPID CARRIERS FOR DISSOLUTION RATE ENHANCEMENT OF ALBENDAZOLE

Objective: This study aimed to develop a microstructured lipid carrier that improves the rate of dissolution of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) Albendazole. Methods: A solvent diffusion method was used for the development of microstructured lipid carriers. The developed carriers were characterized by optical microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and dissolution testing. Results: The morphology of the carriers was irregular, and their size tends to decrease with the addition of modifiers. Furthermore, the diffractograms and the thermograms indicated a loss of crystallinity. The thermograms and infrared spectra showed that there are not chemical incompatibilities between the API and the excipients. When the lipid carrier particles were modified with Aerosil® 200 (specifically when using this excipient at a level of 6% w/w), dissolution was increased up to 85.96±1.17 % of the drug content as per USP test for Albendazole tablets in comparison with 36.13±0.52 % for a lipid carrier formulation without modifiers. Conclusion: It was demonstrated that it is possible to develop a modified lipid carrier that improves the dissolution rate of an API with a low solubility, which was related to the amorphization of the API crystalline structure.
A Resolver-to-Digital Conversion Method Based on Third-Order Rational Fraction Polynomial Approximation for PMSM Control

In this paper, a cost-effective and highly accurate resolver-to-digital conversion method is presented. The core of the idea is to apply a third-order rational fraction polynomial approximation for the conversion of sinusoidal signals into the pseudo linear signals, which are extended to the range 0°–360° in four quadrants. Then, the polynomial least squares method is used to achieve compensation to acquire the final angles. The presented method shows better performance in terms of accuracy and rapidity compared with the commercial available techniques in simulation results. This paper describes the implementation details of the proposed method and the way to incorporate it in digital signal processor-based permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system. Experimental tests under different conditions are carried out to verify the effectiveness for the proposed method. The obtained maximum error is about 0.0014° over 0°–360°, which can usually be ignored in most industrial applications.
The influence of metallic ions on the activity of Sulfolobus BC

The influence of several metallic ions on Sulfolobus BC activity was examined. The maximum tolerance to increasing quantities of metal in cultures grown on copper concentrate was determined after a period of progressive adaptation. In addition, the influence of several metal concentrations on the capacity of the microorganisms to oxidize ferrous iron and sulphur was studied individually. In all cases silver, mercury, ruthenium and molybdenum inhibited bacterial growth. The use of adapted microorganisms led to an increase in the oxidation rate of both substrates, which was related to bacterial activity.
Thermal Conductivity Reduction by Tuning the Rattler Fraction in a p-type CeyYb1−yFe3CoSb12 Double-filled Skutterudite

The rattling effect has been a major research topic in attempts to reduce high-frequency phonon conduction, especially for the skutterudite system. Filling skutterudite with rattler atoms with different localized frequencies (double-filling) has also been reported as an effective method to decrease the thermal conductivity. Optimization research for the double rattler effect is required, especially in the p-type R1−yR′yFexCo4−xSb12 double-filled skutterudite system (R, R′ = rare earth rattlers) because these need larger numbers of rattlers (≈ 1.0) than are needed in the n-type skutterudite case (≈ 0.3). We attempted to optimize the rattler fraction in a p-type CeyYb1−yFe3CoSb12 skutterudite system in this research. We combined a melt spinning (MS) process with a subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique to fabricate bulk nanocrystalline skutterudites. The resulting low thermal conductivity (2.20 Wm−1K−1 at 723 K) and higher electrical conductivity (912 Ω−1cm−2 at 723 K) of this Ce0.6Yb0. 4Fe3CoSb12 double-filled system makes the maximum dimensionless figure-of-merit (ZT, 0.90 at 723 K) in the double-filled specimen higher than those in the single-filled skutterudite systems (YbyFe3CoSb12, and CeyFe3CoSb12) previously reported by us. We found that filling with the Ce4+-rattler was more effective than filling with the Yb2+ for reducing the lattice thermal conductivity in the Cey Yb1−yFe3CoSb12 double-filler system. The Yb2+-filler effectively increased the electrical conductivity of the p-type Fe3CoSb12 filled skutterudite by modifying the carrier concentration.
Analysis of Interior Design of Restaurants with Reference to Ambience and Customer Gratification

This study introduces an investigation into the effect of ambience on customer's gratification at the restaurants where numerous regular alterations in color, layout, light, aroma, cooling temperature, decor etc. are being done. Restaurateurs' goal is always to generate income for which they do alterations in their buildings' interiors. Relationship between customer gratification and three ambiences' features color, light and cooling is observed in two restaurants, named, Lahore View and Jasmine restaurants situated in Shalimar Tower Hotel, Lahore. A sample of 354 customers from these two restaurants was taken. The correlation coefficient between the income and dine in frequency was found to be highly significant leading to the conclusion that as income increases the dining frequency also increased. Associations between customer's satisfaction and demographic feature like income and gender were also studied, which were found statistically insignificant. To analyze the impact of ambient color, light and cooling on customer's gratification, a binary logistic regression model is applied with color, light and cooling factors as predictors. The regression was found to be highly significant with significant model parameters leading to the conclusion that color, cooling and lightning improvements can help in increasing customer's satisfaction which will eventually lead to the increase revenue generation.

Prediction of optimum adsorption isotherm: Comparison of chi-square and Log-likelihood statistics

Abstract A comparison of chi-square (X 2) and Log-likelihood (G 2) statistics of 19 adsorption isotherm models—seven two-parameter models (Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin–Radushkevich, Temkin, Jovanovic, Harkins–Jura and Halsey) and 12 three-parameter models (Koble–Corrigan, Langmuir–Freundlich, Toth, Redlich–Peterson, Radke–Prausnitz (three models), Fritz–Schlunder, Jossens, Khan, UNILAN, Vieth–Sladek) have been applied to the experiment of two dyes (Acid Blue 113, Acid Black 1) sorption onto Granular PineCone derived Activated Carbon (GPAC) and three dyes (Acid Blue 80, Acid Red 114, Acid Yellow 117) sorption onto Granular Activated Carbon type Filtrasorb 400 (GAC F400). The study has focused on the assessment of the adequacy and goodness of the fitted models, using two well-known—X 2 and G 2—statistics. The results showed that G 2 could be better than X 2 statistic when the number of model parameters is three.
Determination of acylglycerols in vegetable oil methyl esters by on‐line normal phase LC‐GC

An on-line LC-GC method for the analysis of mono-, di-, and triacylglycerols in vegetable oil methyl esters has been developed. The concentrations of these components have turned out to be key parameters for the quality of diesel fuel substitutes. Separation of all classes of acylglycerols from the fatty acid methyl ester matrix is achieved by LC after acetylation of the hydroxyl groups. The acylglycerol fraction is transferred on-line to GC, using the loop-type interface and concurrent eluent evaporation. Quantification of mono-, di-, and triacylglycerols is performed by combining external calibration with internal standardization. Both recovery of the procedure and reproducibility of the quantitative results are evaluated.
General Analytical Modeling for Magnet Demagnetization in Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Machines

This paper proposes an analytical model for the prediction of airgap magnetic field distribution for axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine with partial magnet demagnetization. The AFPM machine geometry is first converted to a polar representation. Consequently, the subdomain model based on current sheet technique is developed. Then current sheet representation of PM is derived to consider the partial demagnetization using superposition principle. The back electromagnetic forces and cogging torque are obtained accordingly based on Maxwell's equations. The results show that the results of proposed approach agrees with that of finite-element method. The model is further validated by experiments under both healthy and demagnetized conditions, which can validate the proposed approach. Main contribution of the work is to consider the partial irreversible demagnetization. Moreover, the proposed method is applicable for both AFPM and radial flux permanent magnet machine.
Factors Affecting the Socio-Economic Status of Households in Southern Punjab

ARTICLE DETAILS ABSTRACT History: Accepted 12 Sep 2020 Available Online 30 Sep 2020 The Households having low socio-economic status possess less resource in term of wealth and income to resist against any kind of external shocks. Apart from heath shocks (physical and mental disabilities) there are numerous other factors that force them to follow subsistence life style having low per capita income. A primary level data has been collected to examine the socio economic status of households in Southern Punjab for the year 2019.The findings show that household size, occupation, dependency ratio, mental disability and physical disability are negatively affecting economic development across the region. However, age, education of the household head, own house, spouse ‘s participation, remittances, number of earners in the household and value of physical assets are increasing economic development in Southern Punjab. Developing strategies, adequate planning and their timely implementation is very crucial for the government to pursue the process of economic growth and development of the poor countries like Pakistan.
