Fast Track to Achievement: Promoting Achievement Behaviors in Engineering Freshmen

In making the transition from high school to college, engineering freshmen can benefit from guidance by upperclassmen on how to meet the challenges of engineering and how to negotiate the college environment. Upperclassmen can focus freshmen on behaviors and attitudes that promote achievement and motivate freshmen toward success in engineering; lead by example to encourage freshmen to stay linked to the engineering community; and serve as successful role models for some freshmen who may lack confidence and who may perceive engineering as difficult and unattainable. Freshmen can relate better to upperclassmen who are their peers and who more recently have experienced what it takes to “make it in engineering. ” Upperclassmen, particularly those with a proven track record of academic achievement and leadership, are more credible sources and powerful role models for engineering freshmen. This assumption formed the basis for development of a pilot freshman retention program, “Fast Track to Achievement. ” The primary strategy of this program is to engage teams of upperclassmen in dialogue with groups of freshmen in a series of workshops focusing on three themes —“Mastering Mathematics,” “Making It in Engineering,” and “Planning to Graduate. ” The goal of the program is to expose the greatest number of freshmen to successful engineering undergraduates who can speak from experience on how to adjust to the rigors of the engineering curriculum, earn the best grades, and make the freshman year a good foundation for achievement in engineering.

Power Train Configuration Study on a Pulsed Plasma Thruster with State-of-the-Art High Current Monitors

The thruster ADD SIMP-LEX (ADvanceD Stuttgart Impulsing Magneto-Plasmadynamic Thruster for Lunar EXploration) has been developed at the Institute of Space Systems (IRS) in Stuttgart, to provide secondary and primary propulsion capabilities to small satellites. Extensive optimization led to a mature design of world leading thrust efficiency around 30 % with russian APPT devices. The thruster was chosen for development into a stand-alone system in 2010. The system is capable of operating under satellite-like vacuum conditions in a test chamber, foregoing the usual outside laboratory equipment. The only connections required for system operation are a serial command interface, thermal housekeeping and a 28 V power line. Telemetry of the system for thruster health monitoring includes measurement of the pulsed current signal at up to four thruster capacitors. Requirements of the thruster and operation conditions ruled out any available COTS solutions for this task. A custom designed current measurement system was developed at the ETH Zurich and successfully integrated into the ADD SIMP-LEX design at IRS. The measurements revealed the current signal for every capacitor terminal and allowed for reconstruction of the combined flow. This data showed a current ringing effect between capacitors, which is undesirable for efficient thruster operation. The capacitor setup was changed and impact on the ringing was analyzed. The results showed reduction of the effect. Although complete elimination was not achieved, the data suggest careful consideration of the power train configuration can achieve satisfying mitigation levels. The sensor data quality was significantly improved by overcoming electromagnetic compatibility issues through introduction of a fiber-optical (LWL) transfer interface.
Glycemic status of diabetic patients attending in a diabetic hospital

Diabetes care is now available everywhere in our country. But achievement of optimal level glycemic control and adherence to diabetic therapy is still questionable. This observational cross sectional study was done to observe the glycemic status of diabetic patients . The mean (±SD) serum HbA1c concentration of total subjects (n=100) was 7.84±2.0 with a range of 4.8-15.1%. The mean serum HbA1c concentration in group-1 subjects was 5.9±0.587% with a range of 4.8-6.9%, in group-2 subjects was 7.44±0. 304% with a range of 7.0-7.9%, in group-3 subjects was 9.55±1.52% with a range of 8.1-15.1%. Statistically significant difference (p=.001) was observed on serum HbA1c values in between the groups of subjects. Glycemic control was not satisfactory of these diabetic patients. Awareness and motivation through counseling and identifying certain factors influencing glycemic control might be able to overcome this situation.TAJ 2014; 27(2): 33-35
Avaliação de mecânica ventilatória por oscilações forçadas: fundamentos e aplicações clínicas

Requesting passive cooperation from the patient and supplying new parameters for the analysis of the ventilatory mechanics, the forced oscillations technique (FOT) has complementary characteristics to the classical methods of lung evaluation. In this work, a review of the principles of this technique is initially presented together with a discussion about its advantages and present limitations. The performance of the technique is compared to classical methods in the detection of breathing disorders. The main clinical applications reported previously in the literature, including the evaluation of the ventilatory mechanics in children, studies in neonates, monitoring of patients under mechanical ventilation, occupational medicine, and evaluation of respiratory sleep disturbances are reviewed and discussed. Based on this review and on the results obtained in studies made in their laboratory, the authors concluded that FOT could render a more detailed examination and facilitate the accomplishment of lung function tests under conditions in which traditional techniques are not appropriate.
Analysis of the (1+1) EA for a dynamically changing ONEMAX-variant

Although evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are often successfully used for dynamically changing problems, there are only few theoretical results about EAs for dynamic objective functions. Here, the runtime of the (1+1) EA is theoretically analyzed for a dynamic variant of ONEMAX. The main focus lies on determining the degree of change of the fitness function, where the expected runtime of the (1+1) EA rises from polynomial to super-polynomial. The proofs presented show methods of how to rigorously analyze EAs on dynamically changing objective functions.
Improving Web Application Security Using Penetration Testing

The main issues of current web application is easily hacking the user information by unauthorized person. The development of entire web application depends on scripting languages that easily displays the user authentication code to the web browser. All code must be transferred through query string parameter (URL) of the web application. This kind of application security fails when verifying it by penetration testing which is based on XSS languages. This study overcomes the security issues by developing a web application based on cross site scripting technique which the user codes are encrypted using RSA algorithm and cookies, cross domain verification based on encrypted use code. XSS vulnerabilities come in different forms and may be categorized into two varieties: reflected and stored. Reflected is on type of attack which can be performed against applications that employ a dynamic page error message to users. Stored XSS vulnerability appears when data submitted by one user is store in the application or in the back-end database. The user cookies of the web browser store only the encrypted key values. These techniques applied in Enterprise web application it support multiple organization for processing product purchase order, sales order and invoice details.
How not to write a novel : 200 mistakes to avoid at all costs if you ever want to get published

There are many ways prospective authors routinely sabotage their own work. But why leave it to guesswork? Misstep by misstep, "How Not to Write a Novel" shows how you can ensure that your manuscript never rises above the level of unpublishable drivel; that your characters are unpleasant, dimensionless versions of yourself; that your plot is digressive, tedious and unconvincing; and that your style is reliant on mangled cliches and sesquipedalian malapropisms. Alternatively, you can use it to identify the most common mistakes, avoid them and actually write a book that works. Guardian Award shortlisted novelist Sandra Newman and veteran editor Howard Mittelmark have distilled 30 years of teaching, editing, writing and reviewing fiction into a hilarious and liberating guide that is the perfect read for anyone who's ever laughed at a badly written piece of prose and for anyone who's ever penned one - and doesn't want to do it again.
The White Potato—Where Is Its Rightful Place in Food Grouping Systems?

Across many cultures in the United States, potatoes are an almost-universally popular vegetable and are good sources of several shortfall nutrients, such as potassium, magnesium, fiber, and vitamin C. In current US dietary guidance and nutrition policy, white potatoes are, at best, taken for granted, or at worst, excluded. Potatoes may contribute to diet quality and are inexpensive. Just as with any other food, healthier ways to prepare and consume potatoes should be encouraged, especially given that some of the most popular forms contain added salt and fat. Potatoes appear to serve as a marker for other vegetable consumption and may be a gateway vegetable leading to increased consumption of other vegetables. Potatoes should not displace vegetables of any color any more than the reverse, as individual vegetables make differing contributions to healthful dietary patterns. This article examines white potatoes in US food grouping systems, as well as nutrition policy, and presents a rationale for repositioning potatoes within US dietary guidance frameworks (governmental and nongovernmental). From a public health perspective, overall low vegetable consumption can and should be addressed by promoting all vegetables.
Santé et pénibilité en fin de vie active: Une comparaison européenne

The aim of this paper is to explore the effects of different national employment schemes on job satisfaction and perceived health of older workers. In a context of European "Active ageing" policies, keeping individuals at work who suffer from weak health or strenuous working conditions has become an important issue. Policies aiming to retain older workers at work have mainly focused on financial incentives and the restriction of early exit schemes. However, in some countries, the promotion of better health in the workplace, by an improvement of working conditions of older workers, has been a key feature of Active ageing policies. In order to apprehend this institutional context, we compare the work ability of the ageing workforce in eleven European countries, using factorial analysis on individual data (Share survey, 2004). By work ability, we mean the subjective health of individuals and their reported working conditions (physical and psychological demand, decision latitude, social support, and employment perspectives). The analysis shows that seniors from Nordic and continental countries are more satisfied in terms of working conditions and health than seniors from Mediterranean countries. This result is striking considering that the healthy worker effect can be expected to be stronger in the latter group, leading to a younger and healthier sample of older individuals still at work. Several hypotheses on career-end management in relation to health arise from the exploratory analysis. Countries that have adopted a Nordic strategy for employment perform well not only in terms of employment rates but also in terms of working conditions. This indicates that they achieve to keep older workers in weaker health in employment by compensation mechanisms. The disadvantaged position of France reveals that older workers are also affected by work intensification, since they report poor working conditions despite good levels of self perceived health.
An analysis of the error compound words used by foreign learners of Chinese

This paper is an exaustive analysis of the 520 error compound words of 17 subcategories in 5 categories found in the Chinese Interlanguage Corpus System. In order to specify the relevant factors in the acquisition of compound words by foreign learners, the error types are analysed and come to the following conclusions: 1 ) Foreign learners have strong awareness of the struc- tures of compound words, such as words formed with morphemes, structures and semantic relevance , ect. and 2) Foreign learners may employ two different ways of acquisition of compound words, namely, compounding from morphemes and recognising compound words as a whole. We hold that the former should be in the dominant.
Distance Based Measurement Approach for Truth Discovery by Resolving the Conflicts in Big Data

Big data is a term that describes volume of data (terabytes to Exabyte’s), unstructured (include text and multimedia content), and complex in processing (from Medical data, Business transactions, Data captured by sensors, Social media/networks, Banking, Marketing, Government data, etc.). The traditional technologies are not sufficient to store, process and analyze the data. The unique technologies should be needed to analyze, manage the huge amount and unprocessed data. The number of sources produce huge amount of various descriptions for same object. This leads to data conflict and source conflict, when various sources generate various descriptions for same objects. Here it is the challenging one to identify which source produces quality information and which data is truly fit for an object. Here the heterogeneous data involved such as both numerical data (measurement data) and string data (classified data). The Data Analytics plays an important role to analyze the conflicted data. Distance based approach is used to find highest achievable performance, by minimizing the distance and maximizing the reliability of the sources. The main objective of this work is to resolve the conflicts from the heterogeneous data and identify the true information among the conflicted data from the various sources. Here, the continuous data only taken into an account to identify the true information.

Prototype 1 MeV 
X
-band linac for aviation cargo inspection

Aviation cargo unit load device (ULD) containers are typically much smaller than standard shipping containers, with a volume of around 1 m3. Standard 3-6 MeV x-ray screening linacs have too much energy to obtain sufficient contrast when inspecting ULDs, hence a lower 1 MeV linac is required. In order to obtain a small physical footprint, which can be adapted to mobile platform applications, a compact design is required, hence X-band radio-frequency technology is the ideal solution. A prototype 1.45 MeV linac cavity optimized for this application has been designed by Lancaster University and Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), manufactured by Comeb (Italy) and tested at Daresbury Laboratory using an e2v magnetron, modulator, and electron gun. The cavity is a bi-periodic π/2 structure, with beam-pipe aperture coupling to simplify the manufacture at the expense of shunt impedance, while keeping the transverse size as small as possible. The design, manufacture, and testing of this linac structure is presented. In order to optimize the image it is necessary to be able to modify the energy of the linac. It can be changed by altering the rf power from the magnetron but this also varies the magnetron frequency. By varying the beam current from 0-70 mA the beam energy varied from 1.45 to 1.2 MeV. This allows fast energy variation by altering the focus electrode bias voltage on the electron gun while keeping the dose rate constant by varying the repetition frequency. Varying the beam energy by varying the rf power and by varying the beam current are both studied experimentally. The momentum spread on the electron beam was between 1% and 5% depending on the beam current of 0-70 mA
Validated measure of Ryff psychological well-being among students of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences (2009)

iAbstract Background: Well-being means the harmony in all dimensions of an individual. Dimensions of psychological well-being include independence, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relationship, purposeful life, and self-acceptance. Objective: The present study was aimed to determine the factor structure of the three-question version of the Ryff psychological well-being scale. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which 330 students of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences were selected based on a multistage random sampling. The participants responded to questions of the short version of Ryff psychological well-being scale. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and factor analysis. Findings: Factor analysis showed that the multidimensional model of psychological well-being scale in its three-question version acceptably fitted with the data. Also, the factor analysis of this scale yielded four factors while two questions were deleted due to absence of load on any factor. Conclusion: The results obtained in this study were different from that of six-dimension model and only four factors extracted. However, due to presence of appropriate reliability, this scale could be a suitable tool to measure the psychological well-being among students.
Prediction Model of Smelting Endpoint of Fuming Furnace Based on Grey Neural Network

Since grey theory and neural network could improve prediction precision, the technology of combination prediction was proposed in this study. Then the algorithm was simulated by Matlab using practical data of a fuming furnace. The results reveal that the smelting endpoint of fuming furnace could be accurately predicted with this model by referring to small sample and information. Therefore, GNN model is effective with the advantages of high precision, fewer samples required and simple calculation.

Cyberspace Textuality: Computer Technology and Literary Theory

From the Publisher: Representative of the next generation of cybertext criticism, the essays in this book explore the concepts of texts and the forms of textuality emerging from the new electronic technologies. The first group examines contemporary literary theory and the texts of cyberspace. The second debates how identity is affected by the power of electronic technology to create virtual doubles of the body. The authors look at feminist and experimental writing, theatrical writing in virtual spaces, and rethinking the body in cyberspace. The final essays gather three "performance texts" that turn the critical investigation of cyberspace textuality into a quest for new forms of literary theoretical writing.
