Floating Capacitor Suspension Inverter for Parallel Combined Winding Bearingless Motors

Recent efforts to improve the performance of bearingless motors have focused on “combined winding” machine designs that use the same coils for torque and suspension force production. While combined winding designs have been successful in increasing the machine performance, they add substantial cost and complexity to the power electronics required for the bearingless drive system. This article presents a bearingless drive concept, which eliminates the additional power electronic hardware requirements for a parallel combined winding design. The resulting drive requires the same hardware components as a traditional, separated winding bearingless motor. The article proposes and explains the design and theory of operation, proposes a simple control implementation, and presents initial validation via simulation results. The theory and design presented are valid for both conventional <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$p\pm 1$</tex-math></inline-formula> bearingless motor designs (i.e., bearingless permanent magnet designs) as well as <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$p_s=1$</tex-math></inline-formula> bearingless motor designs (i.e., bearingless ac homopolar designs). Experimental results are provided that validate the proposed concept and demonstrate stable levitation of a bearingless motor.

Hasil penelitian berdasarkan uji paired t test nilai p=0,001 pada perbandingan keadaan kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah adanya perubahan keadaan resistensi insulin dengan penggantian makanan berdasarkan indeks glikemik. Abstract The population of type 2 diabetes mellitus sufferer continuously increases due to the increase of insulin resistance characterised by the rise of the secretion insulin. Insulin resistance is affected by several factors such as the lack of physical activity, obesity, and unhealthy diet. One of the characteristics of the unhealthy diet is the high consumption of carbohydrates.Whereas Indonesian prefers to have carbohydrate sources from food which has high glycemic index such as rice so thatit makes the glucose in the blood increased rapidly. This condition causes more and faster insulin secretion and can affect insulin resistance. The purpose of this study is to know the effectiveness of herbal forte rice as a substitute of the main carbohydrate in the state of hyperinsulinemia suffered by 15 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Puskesmas (community health center) Sumbersari Jember. This study is a clinical trial with a quasi experimental method and crossover design. In this study, the sample is interviewed by characteristics (age, gender) and the early consumption patterns using 24-hour food recall three times at different times. Samples acted as a control group once the experimental group. The control group did not receive any treatment, while the experimental group received the herbal forte rice as much as 100 grams for 7 consecutive days in the morning (at 06.30 am). After washing out period for 9 days, experimental group switched into control group. At the end of the period (7 days), data of fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin were collected then counted by HOMA-IR formula. The result of the study based on the paired t test p=0.001 in comparison to the state of the control and experimental group. The conclusion of this study is there is a changing state of insulin resistance with the replacement of food based on glycemic index.

The purpose of the study was to assess the practices of instructional supervision in supplementing teaching-learning process in secondary schools of Qersa and Omo Nada woreda of Jimma zone. It particularly treats issues of how instructional supervision is practiced in improving the holistic teaching learning process, how instructional supervisors render professional support to teachers to enhance classroom instruction, and what challenges are there in practicing instructional supervision in think of promoting the provision of quality education. To accomplish this purpose, the study employed a descriptive survey method, which is supplemented by quantitative and qualitative research method to enrich data. The study was carried out in two secondary schools of the two woreda which comprises -58 teachers, 31 internal school supervisors (2 principals 2 vice principals, 12 department heads and 15 senior teachers) and 2 woreda supervisors who included in the study purposively. Questionnaire and interview was the main instrument utilized during data collection. Descriptive statistics like frequency, percentage for part and narration for qualitative were employed to analyze the data. Finally, the results of the study revealed that the practices of instructional supervision in supplementing holistic teaching learning in the woreda were ineffective and suffered with many challenges like lack of adequate knowledge among supervisors, shortage of resources for support, low top management attention and the like. Therefore, it is recommended that the woreda would be able to enhance the supervisory activities in considering its importance in assuring quality education by arranging training, improving resource allocation for supervision work and give due attention for the issue in order to alleviate the problem.
Clinical epidemiological studies of drug safety and disease risk factors using large primary care databases

BACKGROUND: Observational studies of drug treatments complement pre-marketing drug trials and provide real-world outcomes of effectiveness and safety. Large UK primary care databases offer cost-effective access to clinical information for long-term studies requiring great statistical power and deliver findings representative of the general population. However, such data are not collected primarily for research, so all share weaknesses that must be offset by sophisticated use of statistical methodologies. This paper clarifies the current strengths and limitations of these data sources and discusses their potential. In the context of routinely collected primary care data sources, studies focusing on drug safety are used to show appropriate application of statistical techniques, and present a contribution to existing methodological practice based on multi-database use. METHODS: Methodological approaches to address potential data-related biases and drug safety study-related issues are discussed. These include coding differences, analyses of exposure, confounding factors to be included in models, missing data, misclassification bias from outcome uncertainty and prescription-only information, and use of sensitivity analyses to estimate the impact of information gaps and verify the validity of findings. A novel application of triangulation between the findings of separate identical analyses of two databases is introduced. RESULTS: The submitted papers are used to exemplify the delivery of more accurate estimates of risks than previous studies, with further comment on how the methodologies were used to address potential issues. The results of triangulation between the findings of two separate identical analyses based on different databases show confidence intervals for the combined results on average 30 per cent narrower than those of the original analyses. CONCLUSIONS: The application of emerging/developing methodologies enables large UK primary care databases with national coverage to deliver robust findings applicable to the general population and derived from long-term studies with great statistical power. The potential for future development is also shown, including use of multi-databases to further increase statistical power.
Towards the Study of Liver Failure: Protocol for a 90% Extended Hepatectomy in Mice

Studies have shown that extended hepatectomy mimics post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) and could also be used to study other small-for-flow syndromes. Extended hepatectomy can be defined as the removal of more than 70% of liver volume. At the molecular level, there seems to be a delayed entrance to the cell cycle, and thus liver dysfunction ensues. Therefore, there is an imperious need to study the mechanisms of such delay to understand how it can be regulated. While the classical 70% hepatectomy model to study liver regeneration has been previously described thoroughly, there are no protocols describing the surgical procedure for a 90% extended hepatectomy (90% EHx). Therefore, we here describe a detailed and reproducible protocol for such model, defining specific aspects that must be considered as well as the most common complications and troubleshooting strategies.
In Vitro Antitrichomonal Activity of Some Species of Allium

Background: Trichomonas vaginalis infectious disease is an important worldwide health problem. Although, several drugs especially metronidazole and tinidazole have been used in the treatment, their-resistant strains have been developed and unpleasant adverse effects exist. Garlic and other Allium species are old medicinal plants, which were used for infectious diseases, cardiovascular disorders and hair and skin cosmetic diseases. Objectives: We aimed to compare the anti-trichomoniasis activities of three species of Allium. Methods: The Trichomonas vaginalis strain was isolated from vaginal discharge of women with vaginitis symptoms and cultured in a modified TYM medium. After confirmation of herbarium of the plants, their extracts were prepared. For testing, 24 sterile plates were used. In all 24 homes, 200 µL of TYM were poured out. The tube containing the parasite, counting the number of angels with the aid of Neubauer slide and set to 500,000 per mL, was added to the amount of 100 µL to all wells. In order to investigate the antitrichomoniasis of the plant, concentrations of 37.5, 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200 and 2400 µg/mL of extract have been tested. For positive control, 50 mL of metronidazole, 50 µg/mL, was added to culture medium. In addition to, no herbal extract and metronidazole was added to the well of negative control. Results: The leaf extract of bell circus with a concentration of 2000 µg/mL after 48 hours and boiled cabbage bulb onion at a concentration of 24 µg/mL and leaf extract of turmericum at a concentration of 1500 µg/mL in 48 hours and boiled horseradish onions at 48 µg/mL concentration in 24 hours could achieve 100% GI and significantly inhibit parasite growth. Leaf extract, boiled onions and essential oils inhibited the growth of Trichomonas parasites, were not as high as 100%. Conclusions: According to the results obtained in our study, these Allium plants have inhibitory activity on growth of Trichomonas vaginalis parasite.
An overview of caries risk assessment: Rationale, risk indicators, risk assessment methods, and risk-based caries management protocols

The paradigm shift in our understanding of the dynamic, multifactorial nature of dental caries and the resultant change in caries preventive and treatment strategies necessitates that caries risk assessment (CRA) should be an integral part of any caries management protocol. This review discusses the rationale for CRA and the role various risk indicators play in the fluctuating demineralization-remineralization cycle of dental caries. It also provides an overview of different CRA methods and a risk-based clinical protocol for dental caries management in infants and children.
Effects of Topical Application of Clay and Honey on Cutaneous Wound Healing in Rabbits

There are certain medications and procedures that can accelerate the healing of skin which have shown improvement and acceleration of wound healing with honey. Furthermore, based on studies of traditional medicine, clay therapy is effectiveness in accelerating wound healing. This study conducted to compare the efficacy of honey and clay in accelerating the healing process of the skin. 9 rabbits were used in this experiment and divided into 3 groups, first control group treated with a placebo, the second treated with a cataplasm of clay and the third treated with honey. Within 4 th and 7 th and 10 th days, 3 rabbits in each group were scarified and macroscopic and microscopic of the wound were studied and histopathological features. The results of our experiments showed that the formation of granulation tissue and the density of fibroblasts keratinisation in surface of wound in the treated group with clay were most than the group treated with honey but the two bioactives reduced inflammation, swelling and wound dehiscence in rabbits. The findings suggest that clay and honey applied topically on cutaneous wounds accelerates the healing processes and appears to have an important property that makes it ideal as a dressing on cutaneous wounds.

Compact structure with high TX-RX isolation for frequency domain duplexing on printed circuit boards

Abstract When developing compact and lightweight antenna systems for unmanned aerial systems, achieving high isolation between transmit and receive signal paths is challenging. To address this issue, we demonstrate a prototype isolation design on a printed circuit board for a frequency division duplexed X band antenna system. Key components include a microstrip defected ground plane notch filter and a copper grating barrier that provides 20 dB higher isolation than free space separation between the transmit and receive antennas. The hardware provides at least 105 dB of transmit isolation into the receiver low noise amplifier in the transmit band. The proposed design is lighter and more compact than traditional machined metal waveguide isolation techniques used for ground-based systems yet achieves similar isolation performance.
Analysis of Differences in Share Performance between SOEs and Non-SOEs Based on Short-Term Underpricing and Long-Term Underperformance

This study aims to determine the differences in the performance of shares of SOEs and Non-SOEs companies that conduct IPOs on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2010-2014 based on short-term underpricing and long-term underperformance. Sampling is done by using purposive sampling technique. Data analysis techniques used the independent sample parametric test and the non-parametric difference test mann whitney u test. The results showed that there were no differences in the performance of shares of SOE and Non-SOE companies conducting IPOs on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2010-2014 period based on short-term underpricing. This means that in the short term investments in shares of Non-BUMN companies are more profitable for investors and are detrimental to the company because the funds obtained are less. But in testing based on long-term underperformance, the results of the study showed that there were differences in the performance of the shares of SOE and Non-SOE companies conducting IPOs on the IDX for the 2010-2014 period. This shows that BUMN companies have better performance than Non-BUMN companies, because government ownership gives more value and can operate in various sectors.
A Cognitive Linguistics approach to internet memes on selected Polish internet sites

A Cognitive Linguistics approach to internet memes on selected Polish internet sitesThe present study aims to analyse selected internet memes as examples of social communication from the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics, and to examine more closely the relation between their visual and verbal aspects. Internet memes contain a wide range of constructions (necessary for rebuilding the semantic framework and extracting selected content), which are fragmentary but at the same time sufficient to induce a whole framework of meanings by using their salient features. The multimodal context is considered within the frameworks of conceptual metaphor theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980), construal (Langacker, 1987, 2008), frame semantics (Fillmore, 1988), conceptual blending theory (Fauconnier & Turner, 2002) and Discourse Viewpoint Space (Dancygier & Vandelanotte, 2016). The paper will present an analysis of the structure of internet memes, which are rich concepts that spread rapidly and widely, and also invite recipients to actively participate in the construction of the message, thus becoming contributors. Memy internetowe na wybranych polskich stronach internetowych. Podejście językoznawstwa kognitywnegoMemy są często bogatymi tworami, łączącymi konstrukcje i zabiegi językowe z elementami wizualnymi, które pomimo bycia jedynie cząstkowymi desygnatami, pozwalają na wydobycie ram semantycznych oraz zrozumienie określonych treści z często fragmentarycznego przekazu obrazka. Przyswojenie komunikatu odbywa się przy pomocy wybranych elementów językowych i ikonicznych osadzonych w kontekście multimodalnym.Celem artykułu jest analiza relacji pomiędzy aspektem wizualnym i werbalnym w wybranych memach internetowych, rozumianych jako przykłady komunikacji społecznej, przy pomocy narzędzi językoznawczych, m.in. teorii metafory pojęciowej i metonimii (Lakoff i Johnson, 1980), obrazowania mentalnego (Langaker, 1987, 2008), semantyki ramowej (Fillmore, 1988), teorii amalgamatów pojęciowych (Fauconnier i Turner, 2002) oraz perspektywy narracyjnej (ang. Discourse Viewpoint Space) (Dancygier i Vandelanotte, 2016).
Relationship between Alzheimer’s Disease and the Human Microbiome

ABSTRACT Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory and language disorders, and the accumulation of amyloid-β and tau protein in the brain has been considered a feature of AD. The accumulation of amyloid-β has been reported to be observed 15 to 20 years before the onset by image analysis-based diagnostic methods. In addition, it has been reported that AD is associated with various diseases such as type 2 diabetes, periodontal disease, and obesity. It is conceivable that these diseases trigger the onset of AD. The human gut and brain form a network called “brain–gut–microbiota axis,” and it is suggested that the gut microbiota is involved in brain diseases. Recently, the microbiota has also been reported to be involved in diseases such as depression and Parkinson’s disease, and so attention is being paid to the relationship between AD and gut microbiota. This chapter outlines the relationship between AD and the human microbiome.
Effects of unpleasant odors on emotion recognition: The right hemisphere and valence-specific hypotheses

The right hemisphere has traditionally been considered as dominant in odor and emotion perception, whereas little is known about odor influence on emotion recognition. This study aimed to examine a possible difference in the recognition of basic emotions presented to the left or the right visual field following short-term left or right nostril treatment with an unpleasant odor. A total of 60 right-handed female participants completed an emotion recognition task in conditions of the right and left nostril treatment with an unpleasant odor (isovaleric acid). Results showed the right hemisphere advantage in speed, but not in the accuracy of basic emotion recognition after the right nostril treatment with an unpleasant odor, while the left nostril treatment had no effect. The right hemisphere and valence-specific hypotheses in emotion recognition were not confirmed, whereas the model of the right hemisphere dominance in odor perception was confirmed.
The technique of cortical bone trajectory screw fixation in spine surgery: a comprehensive literature review

Pedicle screw fixation is widely used in spinal fusion procedures and an established treatment for a range of spinal disorders including spinal degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, tumor, and deformity. However, there are some disadvantages associated with traditional screw fixation techniques including extensive paraspinal dissection required, and screw loosening associated with traditional pedicle screw (TPS) fixation. As an alternative technique, both cadaveric and clinical studies have proposed and investigated the feasibility of a novel cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation technique whereby the screw follows a mediolaterally and caudocranially directed path through the pedicle and maximizes thread contact with the cortical bone surface, providing enhanced screw purchase. Moreover, screw insertion through a medial starting point offers advantage in minimizing muscle dissection. This study is to review the history, development, biomechanical and clinical outcomes for CBT as an alternative technique for pedicle screw fixation.
