Dynamic Thermal Model for Winding Temperature of an SRM in an Integrated Battery Charger Utilized in Electric Vehicles

This paper presents a dynamic thermal model which predicts the winding temperature of electrical machines at steady-state and transient conditions where windings are used in integrated battery chargers (IBCs) for DC charging in a stationary position. Using winding in high current charging process causes rising winding temperature which affects insulation life. Switched reluctance machines are a proper choice for using in electric vehicles (EVs) because of their advantages such as simple and sturdy structures. IBCs can reduce volume and weight of EVs and total cost is diminished because of integration. The analytical thermal model proposed in this paper can calculates the winding temperature in balanced and unbalanced currents injection because of the phase inductance in each rotor angle is distinct, so current excitation in each phase should be different for obtaining zero total torque and keeping rotor in a stationary position, also a reduced-order model is proposed with minor impact on the accuracy of the model. Special attention has been paid to monitor the winding temperature with considering the motor lifetime in DC charging mode, this view has not been addressed in IBCs before. The proposed model is then validated against experimental results and 3D finite element method.
The formation of NOx during sintering

ABSTRACT The release regulations of nitrogen oxides (NOx) during the sintering process have been studied in this paper, and the factors of NOx release were systematically investigated, such as sinter temperature, coke content, and basicity. Results indicated that NOx produced from sintering includes NO, NO2, and N2O. Analysis on the material composition suggested that the NOx concentration was mainly related to the sinter temperature and the N content of the coke breeze. The material accouting of sintering mixture on N element indicated that 94.59% of NOx in sintering flue gas are fuel NOx .
Cholestyramine Administration Induces Gut Dysbiosis and Severe Liver Injury in ApoE-/- Mice

Background & AimBile acids, as hydrophilicity/ hydrophobic molecules and natural ligands of bile acids receptors, are involved in the pathogenesis of liver injury and metabolic disorders. Cholestyramine acts as a bile acid chelating agent and is used to reduce cholesterol in clinic, but its hepatotoxicity and effects on metabolism are still unclear.MethodsApoE-/- mice were continuously administered with low fat diet with or without 2% cholestyramine 12 weeks to determine the hepatotoxicity and metabolic influences of cholestyramine on these mice. Serum transaminases, liver histological features and hepatic inflammatory markers expression were used to assess cholestyramine hepatotoxicity. Body weight, liver weight, serum lipids profile and liver lipid metabolism related genes expression were used to evaluate effects of cholestyramine on metabolism. Differences of endogenous bile acids composition, bile acids metabolism related genes and intestinal flora structure between groups were also analyzed by an ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry system, quantitative real time PCR and 16S rDNA sequencing.ResultsAfter 12 weeks of dietary intervention, although cholestyramine decreased ApoE-/- mice serum cholesterol level, it significantly increased the body and liver weight of these mice, and caused severe liver injury: increased serum transaminases levels, promoted liver vesicular steatosis and inflammatory cells infiltration, and enhanced the expression of lipid synthesis gene: FASN and inflammatory markers genes: TNF-α 、MCP-1、F4/80 and CD68. Moreover, cholestyramine administration caused hydrophobic transformation of bile acids pool and severe gut dysbiosis, which were characterized by decreased hydrophilic bile acids: muricholic acid (MCA) and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), and increased abundance of potential pathogenic bacteria: s_Bacteroide_vulgatus. ConclusionThis study revealed that cholestyramine had the ability to induce severe liver injury and metabolic disorders. These effects might be attributed to inducing hydrophobic transformation of bile acids pool and gut dysbiosis by cholestyramine. Furthermore, our study provided a warning of hepatotoxicity and metabolic disorders for clinical application of cholestyramine, and suggested that cholestyramine was not a good scavenging tool to study the role of bile acids alternations in diseases progression.
Study of phase transformation and elastic properties of ThX (X = N, P, As and Sb) under high-pressure

ABSTRACT An improved interaction potential model (IIPM) has been formulated to theoretically predict the pressure induced phase transition, elastic properties and thermophysical properties of thorium monopnictides (ThX; X = N, P, As and Sb). The phase transition pressures and volume drop obtained from this model show a better agreement with the available experimental than theoretical results. We have achieved elastic moduli, anisotropy factor, Poisson's ratio, Kleinman parameter, shear and stiffness constants on the basis of the calculated elastic constants. To know the anharmonic properties, we have also computed the third-order elastic constants, first-order pressure derivatives of second-order elastic constants and thermophysical quantities. Our results are in reasonable agreement with available measured and others reported data which supports the validity of model.
Melanoma oral metastático: tratamento com radioterapia e nivolumabe

INTRODUCTION: Oral Mucosa Melanoma (MMO) is a rare malignant neoplasm that accounts for about 0.5% of all oral tumors. This melanoma is associated with atypical proliferation of melanocytes present in the mucosal epithelium. The treatment can be performed by surgical resection, with chemotherapy and radiotherapy as adjunct treatment. In cases with metastatic lymph nodes, adjuvant treatment with immunotherapy may be used. CASE REPORT: An 83-year-old male patient had as main complaint a dark tumor in the gingiva, hard palate and right maxillary sinus, with cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes and pulmonary metastases. In 2015, he started treatment with DTIC and obtained partial response. After one year, he started treatment with Imatinib, obtained partial response and then disease progression. In 2016, he started treatment with Nivolumab and local radiotherapy with IMRT. He had complete local remission and partial systemic remission. Moreover, the treatment had as immune-mediated side effects adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus and vitiligo on face and left flank. Our report aims to present a case of oral mucosal melanoma in the gingiva, palate and maxillary sinus with systemic metastases, treated with Nivolumab and radiotherapy, compare it with other reports in the literature and highlight the complications of immunotherapy.
MODELLING OF RUNOFF AND SOIL EROSION USING SWAT MODEL IN SALEBHATA CATCHMENT OF MAHANADI BASIN

This study was undertaken during the year 2019 for partial fulfilment of M.Tech thesis under the Dept. of SWCE, CAET, OUAT, Bhubaneswar. In the present study physical based, semidistributed river basin scale Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model interface with Geographical Information System (ArcGIS) tool was used to simulate the runoff, sediment yield and to understand the sensitivity of model input parameters in Salebhata catchment area Mahanadi river basin (4,588.9 km2) Odisha, India. The study was conducted to calibrate, validate and parameter sensitivity analysis was performed using the semiautomated algorithm (SUFI-2) in SWAT-CUP package. The model was calibrated for 10 years of time period starting from 1997 to 2006 which include 3 years of the warm-up period from 1997 to 1999, where the validation was done for 4 year period starting from 2007 to 20010 using field measured flow and sediment yield data. Performance of the SUFI-2 in SWAT-CUP was evaluated using various statistical indices such as Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient (ENS), coefficient of determination (R2) and Percentage Bias (PBIAS) showed a good correlation between the measured and model-simulated data. Model sensitivity analysis was carried out by recognizing 11 stream flow and 18 sediment yield parameters. Out of which Base flow alpha factor (ALPHA_BF) and Sediment concentration in runoff (SED_CON)was found to be most influencing parameters for runoff and sediment yield respectively. The observed and model simulated monthly stream flow with R2 of 0.74 and 0.77, NSE of 0.69 and 0.62 with varying PBIAS of 4.4 to 20.3 respectively, during calibration and validation period. While sediment yield computed with R2 of 0.65 and 0.72, NSE of 0.65 and 0.69 with varying PBIAS of (-) 23.0 to (-) 24.50 respectively, during calibration and validation period. Also, an attempt has been made to identify the critical sub-basin based on both runoff and sediment yield rank combination and performed the best management practices priority in order to reduce the runoff and sediment yield. From the performance efficiency of the model to simulate runoff and sediment yield, it can be concluded that the SWAT model really a good tool for simulation of runoff and sediment yield and could be used for the implementation of best management practices on critical sub-basin sale level.
Evaluate the UK Construction Project Impact and Response Strategies during the Epidemic through Malaysia and China

2020 is a special year, this year the world’s economy has become extremely unstable because of the arrival of COVID-19. Idiosyncratic shocks have hit the global economy. The stock market has suspended, companies have closed, unemployment has soared, every industryhas faced the biggest crisis since the Second World War. The British construction industry is certainly no exception. This time it will be the victim of this epidemic and the financial crisis. Compared with the European and American countries, the impact of the epidemic in Asia (Malaysia and China) is relatively light. The development of the epidemic situation in these countries has been controlled relatively effectively and strictly controlled. They are inextricably linked. However, the impact of construction projects in any area under the epidemic, the countermeasures adopted by the government, the epidemic prevention measures adopted by the company and the risk prevention strategy are very different. Therefore, under different circumstances, whether it is from the construction industry managers themselves or government policymakers, it is essential to apply correct and valid management measures to face the projects under construction under the epidemic actively. Simultaneously, collect statistics from questionnaire surveys of three countries in the region, then get an experimental result. Besides, different countries have different policies and forms of epidemic development. So, this research will summarize the corresponding policies and coping strategies of the project. It based on statistics of Malaysia and Chinese construction Projects, surveys for five projects to make comparisons than do statistics to the survey result.

Biometry and reproduction of three polychaete species from Egyptian coasts.

INTRODUCTION The morphometric characteristics and reproductive biology are important indication of the growth rate and the life cycle of the polychaete worms. Giangrande (1997) reviewed some life-cycle and life-history traits of some polychaete families, indicating a great diversity in their reproductive traits. The spawning behaviour and reproduction of perinereis cultrifera has received some attention (Cassai and Prevedelli, 1998; Rouabah and Scaps, 2003b; Rouabah et al., 2008; Rouhi et al., 2008; Rettob, 2012 and Rettob et al., 2013). The development and reproductive cycle of Platynereis dumerilii was considered in several publications (Grant, 1989; Giangrande, et al., 2002; Simonini and Prevedelli, 2003a; Lawrence and Soame, 2009 and Fischer et al. 2010). Field observations were carried out on the spawning and reproduction of Perinereis nuntia (Hardege, et al., 1994; Hardege and Bartels-Hardege, 1995; Ong, 1996; Zheng, 2000, 2002; Poltana et al., 2007 and Darya et al., 2013).

Expandable Preference Lists: A Mechanism for College Admissions in a Large Market

Although Gale-Shapley’s student optimal stable matching mechanism (SOSM) has desirable properties, it is infeasible for college admissions in a large market because it is impossible to ask every student to provide a complete ranking of thousands of colleges. Regarding college admissions problems in large-scale contexts, this paper introduces a new matching mechanism that allows students to provide incomplete but expandable preference lists (EPLs). In contrast to the standard one-shot (direct-revelation) or multirun (sequential-like) designs, the EPL mechanism matches students and colleges in a continuous period. Before the matching period begins, every college provides an algorithm to give a complete strict preference list over all students to the clearinghouse, whereas every student only needs to provide an incomplete initial preference list. During the matching period, (1) every student can expand her own preference list but cannot withdraw or change the order of colleges in her already submitted preference list; (2) the clearinghouse produces and updates the virtual (not final) matching results according to SOSM; and (3) a student can confirm (finalize) her own “best match” without the need to wait until the matching period ends. Theoretical analysis suggests that the EPL mechanism not only inherits much of the desirable stability and incentive properties of the SOSM but is also partially obviously strategy-proof. This paper proposes that by allowing interaction among participants, we can design matching mechanisms with more desirable properties.
Blood Glucose and Lactate Kinetics during an Incremental Running Test in Endurance Runners

Aim : We examined the diŠerence in blood glucose and lactate kinetics between highly and moderately trained runners during an incremental running test, and to examine the relationship between GT and LT in diŠerent training states. Methods : Eight highly trained (25.9 ± 5.6 years, 167.6 ± 5.2 cm, 57.5 ± 6.0 kg) and eight moderately trained (23.8 ± 3.7 years, 173.6 ± 3.8 cm, 62.4 ± 4.6 kg) male runners performed the incremental running test. Each stage of the test consisted of running for 4 min on a treadmill. The velocity was increased by 0.6 km ･ h － 1 ･ stage － 1 until exhaustion. Blood glucose and lactate were measured after each stage, and GT and LT were determined using the log-log method. Results : During the incremental running test, blood lactate increased signiˆcantly in both groups, whereas blood glucose increased signiˆcantly only in highly trained runners. In highly trained runners, LT and GT did not diŠer signiˆcantly (15.2 ± 1.0 and 15.7 ± 1.3 km ･ h － 1 , respectively; p ＝ 0.08), but were signiˆcantly correlated ( r ＝ 0.906, p ＜ 0.01). In moderately trained runners, however, LT was signiˆcantly lower than GT (12.1 ± 0.8 and 13.7 ± 1.6 km ･ h － 1 , respectively; p ＝ 0.02), and no signiˆcant correlation was observed between LT and GT ( r ＝ 0.596, p ＝ 0.16). Conclusions : The relationship between blood glucose and lactate kinetics diŠers according to training state, so that the relationship of blood glucose and lactate kinetics and appearance pattern of GT re‰ects a diŠerent exercise capacity than that of LT. were analyzed in seven subjects.
Domain-specific programming assistance in an embedded DSL for generating processor emulators

This paper presents a design approach for developing an embedded domain-specific language (DSL) with domain-specific programming assistance. To demonstrate the proposed approach, we describe the design of our processor description language called MELTRANS, which is an embedded DSL hosted by Java. MELTRANS is used to generate a fast processor emulator with dynamic binary translation. Although such embedded DSLs have provided only poor domain-specific assistance for programming, MELTRANS improves this poorness. Our idea is to let the integrated development environment (IDE) of the host language provide better programming assistance using domain-specific knowledge. To this end, we decompose a program in MELTRANS into several Java classes corresponding to a different concern and set a rule for the description order. The language runtime takes each class and generates not only the code for processor emulators but also superclasses for classes written later. The user writes each class describing a concern as the subclasses of a generated class. The generated classes enable the user to benefit from programming assistance by Java IDEs in a more domain-specific style. While MELTRANS is hosted in Java, the generated emulators are written in C++. To validate our design, we implement several emulators in MELTRANS and perform experiments with them. The results show that our domain-specific programming assistance can effectively reduce the amount of code that needs to be written by the user, and the generated emulators achieve over 1,000 MIPS.
ETHNOMEDICINAL PLANTS USED AGAINST GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS IN NEPAL. A REVIEW

The gastrointestinal disorders that occur in the gastrointestinal tract are of common prevalence in human beings. Traditionally used medicinal plants play vital role in curing the various disorders of the body. The present study was carried out to find the ethnomedicinal plants used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders in human beings. A total of 289 ethnomedicinal plant species belonging to 229 genera representing 101 families are documented from west Nepal to east Nepal. Local people in different districts of the country are using the ethnobotanical plants in the treatment of gastrointestinal problems such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, gastritis, constipation, to kill worms and to increase appetite. On the basis of number of citation, Zanthoxylum armatum, Aegle marmelos, Berginia ciliata, Cannabis sativa, Chenopodium album, Cinnamomum tamala, Cynodon dactylon, Cyperus rotundus, Drymaria cordata, Mangifera indica, Melia azadirchta, Oxalis corniculata, Plantago major, Rubus ellipticus, Syzygium cumini, Woodfordia fruticosa, and Zingiber officinalae were found important ethnomedicinal plants used in the treatment of gastrointestional disorders. As the knowledge about the usage of the ethnomedicinal plants are eroding, proper documentation and conservation of such plants and traditional ethnomedicinal knowledge of local people is needed.

Freshly formed aluminum (III) hydroxide colloids : Influence of aging, surface complexation and silicate substitution

Nous avons fait appel a une nouvelle technique de neutralisation instantanee pour melanger des solutions de tartrate d'AlCl 3 /Na 2 avec differentes proportions de solutions de NaOH/Na 2 SiO 3 a 25°C. Les colloides alors formes ont ete caracterises par rapport a leur grosseur, leur potentiel zeta et leur stabilite temporelle. Les resultats que nous avons obtenus ont montre que l'hydroxyde d'aluminium forme initialement est caracterise par un produit de solubilite eleve et qu'il est susceptible de se dissoudre en formant du AlO 4 Al 12 (OH) 24 (H 2 O) 12 +7 dans une solution legerement acide ou de se cristalliser dans une solution alcaline. La presence des ions de tartrate reduit le potentiel zeta par voie de complexification superficielle et bloque le processus de cristallisation. Les particules formees en presence de silicate presentent un caractere de plus en plus anioniques au fur et a mesure que la proportion de silicate dans la solution neutralisante augmente. Nous montrons que pour chaque quantite de silicate, la grosseur des particules depasse un maximum qui coincide a peu pres avec le pH auquel la mobilite zero est observee.

Comparison of Stress Effect of NaCl, Na+ and Cl- on Two Chrysanthemum Species

In order to compare the stress effect of NaCl, Na+-salt and Cl--salt on the physiological responses in Chrysanthemum, the seedlings of Chrysanthemum okiense and C. ornatum were cultured in 0.75 fold diluted Hogland solution supplemented with NaCl, Na+(without Cl-) and Cl-(without Na+) with the osmotic potential of -0.64 Mp. Plants cultured in 0.75 fold diluted Hogland solution were used as control. The plant biomass, chlorophyll content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, proline content and electrolyte leakage were investigated in the control plant and salt stressed plants. The plant biomass and chlorophyll content were decreased, while MDA content, proline content and electrolyte leakage were increased under either NaCl, Na+-salt or Cl--salt stress. The changes in five parameters were obviously affected by Cl--salt, moderately by NaCl, and lesser by Na+-salt in turn. C. ornatum was more affected by the three kinds of salt stress than C. okiense in terms of the five parameters. In sum, Cl- is the main cause for salt stress compared to Na+, and C. okiense is more salt tolerant than C. ornatum.
