A multivariate framework to study spatio‐temporal dependency of electricity load and wind power

textabstractWith massive wind power integration, the spatial distribution of electricity load centers and wind power plants make it plausible to study the inter-spatial dependence and temporal correlation for the effective working of the power system. In this paper, a novel multivariate framework is developed to study the spatio-temporal dependency using vine copula. Hourly resolution of load and wind power data obtained from a US regional transmission operator spanning 3 years and spatially distributed in 19 load and two wind power zones are considered in this study. Data collection, in terms of dimension, tends to increase in future, and to tackle this high-dimensional data, a reproducible sampling algorithm using vine copula is developed. The sampling algorithm employs k-means clustering along with singular value decomposition technique to ease the computational burden. Selection of appropriate clustering technique and copula family is realized by the goodness of clustering and goodness of fit tests. The paper concludes with a discussion on the importance of spatio-temporal modeling of load and wind power and the advantage of the proposed multivariate sampling algorithm using vine copula.
A safe space to breathe

ABSTRACT Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of a mutual aid hospital-based group intervention, “Parent Connect”, in supporting parental coping and adjustment to their child’s diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Method: Parents meeting eligibility were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews to capture their experience and the impact of the intervention. A thematic analysis of the data was completed. Results: A total of seven parents participated in semi-structured interviews. The mean age of participants was 40 years and 86% of participants were female. Fifty-seven per cent (n = 4) of parent participants had children with diagnoses of blood cancer, and 43% (n = 3) of parent participants had a child diagnosed with a brain tumour/neuroblastoma. Parents reported positive experiences associated with group attendance with interview themes including the importance of connection, community, support, time out, choice and mutual aid. The importance of connections was highlighted in parents’ responses as was the opportunity to have a break where they could have conversations with other adults who appreciated the stress and challenges associated with their child’s oncology diagnosis through the nature of a shared experience. Discussion: Parent Connect Groups appear to be an effective intervention in reducing psychosocial distress and feelings of isolation, playing a vital role in the development of parent support and community in paediatric oncology hospital wards. Evidence is presented of the importance of providing parents of children with cancer a safe, facilitated space to share their experiences and provide support and mutual aid to one another.
The Influence of Educative Puzzle Game to Concentration of Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder In Arogya Mitra Acupuncture Klaten

ADHD is characterized by attention deficit, impulsivity and hyperactivity disorder that is not in accordance with the child’s developmental stage. These conditions certainly can cause various problems such as learning, behavior, and social difficulties, and one of them is difficult to concentrate. One of the efforts to increase concentration on children with ADHD is through educative puzzle game. This study aimed to determine the effect of educative puzzle game on concentration of children with ADHD. The study design used was pre-experimental with the one group pretest and posttest design. We used purposive sampling to collect the sample with total samples were 15 respondents. We used concentration questionnaire as an instrument and we analyzed with paired t-test. Concentration scores before given the educative puzzle game was 7.53 (SD ±3.021), which was in the low category. Meanwhile, concentration scores after given the educative puzzle game was 11.80 (SD ±4.074) win the medium category. The score increased about 4.27. Paired t-test results showed p value < alpha (0,000 <0.05). The conclusion of this study suggests that educative puzzle game affect the concentration of children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Arogya Mitra Acupuncture Klaten.
Urban Architecture: A Cognitive Neuroscience Perspective

Abstract The rapid urbanization of the past century has led to an accelerating demand for urban design that caters for city-dwellers in both physical and psychological domains. The field of architecture has begun to cultivate more analytic approaches to city design, in order to enable quantification and hypothesis-testing of design principles. In parallel, the cognitive science of human navigation has been developing rapidly, fuelled by neuroscientific findings from rodent research. The time seems ripe to bring these disciplines together. This paper reviews some of the most salient neuroscientific discoveries of recent decades and shows how these discoveries, and the design principles that emerge from them, can add important constraints on architectural design. By taking these cognitive constraints into account it is argued that urban spaces – particularly large, complex ones such as transport termini and convention centres – can be made more navigable and able to provide a better experience for users.
Quantifying the Variability in Resting-State Networks

Recent precision functional mapping of individual human brains has shown that individual brain organization is qualitatively different from group average estimates and that individuals exhibit distinct brain network topologies. How this variability affects the connectivity within individual resting-state networks remains an open question. This is particularly important since certain resting-state networks such as the default mode network (DMN) and the fronto-parietal network (FPN) play an important role in the early detection of neurophysiological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Using different types of similarity measures including conditional mutual information, we show here that the backbone of the functional connectivity and the direct connectivity within both the DMN and the FPN does not vary significantly between healthy individuals for the AAL brain atlas. Weaker connections do vary however, having a particularly pronounced effect on the cross-connections between DMN and FPN. Our findings suggest that the link topology of single resting-state networks is quite robust if a fixed brain atlas is used and the recordings are sufficiently long—even if the whole brain network topology between different individuals is variable.

The introduction of criteria for assessing an aligned parallel Persian-English corpus at the sentence level

Abstract Bilingual corpora are a collection of writings that serve as an example of the relationship between two languages for linguistic and translational applications. Examining the effectiveness of the corpora is one of the essential requirements for working with them. Therefore, the validity of the work based on the corpora is to check their quality. Scientists have identified four main attributes for corpses. These four features are representativeness, limited size, machine-readable shape, standard reference. To evaluate an entity, we need to evaluate these four properties. The limited size and intelligibility of a machine in electronic compartments are certain because they are otherwise unusable. Representativeness means to put a sample set of language variations for the language in question in the corpus. In fact, the corpus has a linguistic diversity. To evaluate this property, we examine the complexity and diversity of the figure and compute the degree of compliance with Ziff's law. For the standardization of each pair, we combine several of the following characteristics: alignment, translation, command, punctuation, separation, characterization. Finally, a fuzzy system uses the final evaluation of these criteria and uses a fuzzy rule base and fuzzy inputs of the introduced evaluators to obtain a fuzzy result for the quality of the entity.
Cogging Torque Minimization Using Skewed and Separated Magnet Geometries

In the study, analytical design, analysis and optimization of a 2.5 kW 14-pole, 84-slot permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) have been performed. The performance characteristics of this PMSG such as efficiency, torque, cogging torque and magnetic flux density are assessed. Then, 3D model of the respective generator is acquired to examine the effect of magnet geometry on the cogging torque produced. In that context, the effects of splitted and skewed magnet structures are examined. In the first design, the magnet is modelled with one piece and the rms value of the cogging torque is found as 436.75 mNm. In the second case, a certain skewed slit is made alongside the magnet and that yields a slightly reduced cogging torque of 434.58 mNm. In the other design, the magnet of the first design is divided into two sub-parts, which are then combined together in a skewed fashion. Thus, the value of cogging torque is found as 159.60 mNm. Eventually, by making two certain slits on the last model, cogging torque is further depressed down to 89.95mNm. It is concluded from the obtained results that the last design contributes an improvement in the value of cogging torque up to 80% compared to the initial design .
Fault tolerant control for a class of nonlinear system with actuator faults

In this work, a fault tolerant control scheme is proposed for a class of nonlinear system with actuator faults. In this fault tolerant control strategy, an estimator is designed to estimate both the system states and the fault signal simultaneously. Based on these estimations, the control law is constructed to achieve the fault tolerant control for the nonlinear system considered. It is shown that the estimation error and the system state can be guaranteed to be bounded. The obtained theoretic results have been verified through the simulation examples on the three‐tank system.
Acute ischemic stroke

Acute Ischemic Stroke provides best evidence for the current standard treatment of acute ischemic stroke, including intravenous chemical thrombolysis, intra-arterial approaches, blood pressure management, and anti-thrombotic therapy. More modern techniques are also described, such as the use of mechanical devices to evacuate a thrombus, induced hypertension, hyper-oxygenation (hyperoxia), and neuroprotective or neuroregeneration agents.
Gender differences in young children’s compliance to maternal directives: A meta-analysis

Evolutionary theory and several lines of evidence suggest that the motive to establish positive relationships with others is stronger in females than males. Accordingly, it was predicted that in young children, girls would be more likely than boys to comply with their mothers’ directives. To test this prediction, the present meta-analysis examined gender differences in compliance to maternal directives in young children (ages 1–7 years) as assessed on structured tasks. The meta-analysis was performed on 80 effect sizes derived from 49 studies conducted in 10 countries. Two categories of studies were distinguished: those that assessed compliance with respect to the child’s presumed motives for performing compliant and those that assessed compliance without reference to the child’s presumed motives. For the former category of studies, girls were higher in internally motivated compliance whether the task required performing an action or not performing an action, and boys were higher in externally motivated compliance when the task required not performing an action. For the latter category of studies, results were mixed, with some evidence indicating that girls were higher in compliance. No evidence was found indicating that the magnitude of the gender differences changed with age. One caveat is that the effect sizes analyzed might have been attenuated due to measurement error. Discussion focuses on a number of explanations that may be offered to account for the gender differences found in internally motivated compliance favoring girls.
Connections between climate sensitivity and large-scale extratropical dynamics

CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CLIMATE SENSITIVITY AND LARGE-SCALE EXTRATROPICAL DYNAMICS The response of the extratropical storm tracks to anthropogenic forcing is one of the most important but poorly understood aspects of climate change. The direct, thermodynamic effects of climate change are relatively well understood, but their two-way interactions with large-scale extratropical dynamics are extremely difficult to predict. There is thus continued need for a robust understanding of how this coupling evolves in space and time. The dry dynamical core represents one of the simplest possible numerical models for studying the response of the extratropical storm tracks to climate change. In the model, the extratropical circulation is forced by relaxing to a radiative equilibrium profile using linear damping. The linear damping coefficient plays an essential role in governing the structure of the circulation. But despite decades of research with the dry dynamical core, the role of the damping coefficient in governing the circulation has received relatively little scrutiny. In this thesis, we systematically vary the damping rate and the equilibrium temperature field in a dry dynamical core in order to understand how the amplitude of the damping influences extratropical dynamics. Critically, we prove that the damping rate is a measure of the climate sensitivity of the dry atmosphere. The key finding is that the structure of the extratropical circulation is a function of the climate sensitivity. Larger damping timescales – which are equivalent to higher climate sensitivities – lead to a less dynamically active extratropical circulation, equatorward shifts in the jet, and a background state that is almost neutral to baroclinic instability. They also lead to increases in the serial correlation and relative strength of the annular modes of climate variability. It is argued that the climate sensitivity of the dry atmosphere may be identifiable from its dynamical signatures, and that

Use of electronic resources by postgraduate students in University of Cape Coast

The study investigates the use of electronic resources by postgraduate students in University of Cape Coast (UCC). It specifically targets first year postgraduate students of UCC. Awareness, usage, training, and access were explored. A survey method was employed and a structured questionnaire was utilized to solicit data. The findings revealed that, though students are aware of electronic resources, they do not fully utilize them to support their academic pursuit due to poor level of information literacy skills. However, few students had not participated in all information literacy skills training organized by the library. Results from the study showed that, significant number of postgraduate students do access electronic resources when on campus and mostly use electronic devices such as laptops, ipad, desktop computers, and mobile phones. The findings indicated that students use the electronic resources to complete assignments, write project work, to update lessons note, for research, and up-date themselves on new information in their fields of study. It was recommended that a structured curriculum should therefore be established as part of postgraduate students’ normal lecture periods where time is allocated on their time table for electronic resource training, and if possible, credited to their academic performance ratings or grading. Key words: Awareness, electronic resources, postgraduate students, training.
Dot Product Equality Constrained Attitude Determination from Two Vector Observations: Theory and Astronautical Applications

In this paper, the attitude determination problem from two vector observations is revisited, incorporating the redundant equality constraint obtained by the dot product of vector observations. Analytical solutions to this constrained attitude determination problem are derived. It is found out that the studied two-vector attitude determination problem by Davenport q-method under the dot product constraint has deterministic maximum eigenvalue, which leads to its advantage in error/perturbation analysis and covariance determination. The proposed dot product constrained two-vector attitude solution is applied then to solve several engineering problems. Detailed simulations on spacecrafts attitude determination indicate the efficiency of the proposed theory.
