Drivers of EV Charging Infrastructure Entrepreneurship in India

The existing research advocating entrepreneurship as an important way to increase the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in developing countries and EV charging business is also playing a crucial role in increasing the adoption of EVs. EV charging is important for EV adoption, and entrepreneurship is also important for EV adoption; therefore, it is important that we must understand what mobilizes or prevents EV charging entrepreneurship. This chapter aimed at explaining drivers of EV charging entrepreneurship. A survey of 121 potential entrepreneurs shows that personal attitude, self-confidence, and opportunity perceptions shape the decision to engage in EV charging entrepreneurship. Policy measures to boost EV charging entrepreneurship have been suggested.
Establishment of Growth/No Growth Model for Bacillus cereus on Different Temperature, pH and Water Activity

The aim of this research was to establish a probabilistic model to predict the growth probability of B. cereus. The five strains of B.cereus were studied and a logistic regression model was chosen to study the interaction of different temperature (10°C, 15°C,20°C,25°C,30°C,35°C), pH(4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5), Aw( 14 levels from 0.992 to 0.932) on the probability of growth. This paper made a fractional factorial design and the experimental data was divided to two parts: 80% of data was chosen as model data and 20% of data was chosen as validation data . At last comparison was made between the predicted values and observed value by choosing 19 experimental data from the published studies. The results showed the concordance index of model data was 0.991 while the validation data was 0.976, indicating that the data was correctly classified and model had a high predictive ability. Also The performance statistics obtained indicate a reasonable goodness of fit of the model obtained, mainly due to the high values of R2-Nagelkerke (0.954) and χ2=0.0119,P=1 of the HosmerLemeshow statistic. A high predictive accuracy is obtained (89.47%) with test data, showing a good predictive ability. In this paper, the growth/no growth model can quantized the combination of environmental factors for B. cereus. This study can help food manufacturers in making decision on the more reasonable and safer formulations for food products in order to prevent the growth of B.cereus along their shelf-life.
Postural Difference between the Interventions Reflecting the Concept of Mirror Therapy in Healthy Subjects

(1) Background: Mirror therapy is one of the promising interventions for the upper limb rehabilitation of stroke patients. Postural asymmetry during mirror therapy was pointed out as a possibility to influence stroke patients’ rehabilitation negatively. However, it is still difficult to find studies on the postural changes in mirror therapy concept interventions. This study compared three methods of postural differences as follows: traditional mirror therapy (mirror); displaying the real-time movement of the unaffected side on the screen above the affected side (screen); and playing a pre-recorded movement of the unaffected side on a tablet placed on a movable box where the affected hand is put inside (movable). (2) Methods: to observe a kinematic difference, we recruited 16 healthy volunteers to go through three different interventions (mirror, screen, movable). The motion capture system made observations on the postures before and during interventions, then compared and analyzed. (3) Results: while using the mirror, the sitting posture was observed to become asymmetric, and the following unique posture was observed where the target hand went further from the trunk while performing tasks. In addition, the shoulder of the target side came forward, and the difference between both elbow flexion angles was also observed. On the other hand, the screen or movable device did not cause a significant change in the sitting posture, and no additional postural differences were observed either. (4) Conclusions: mirror therapy showed a tendency to cause lateral flexion opposite the target hand, thus, creating additional postural change. However, developed methods controlled spine tilt, and enabled the keeping of the midline while sitting during the intervention.
Gender differences and similarities in work preferences: Results from a factorial survey experiment

Despite increased gender equality in many arenas in most of the Western world, women and men continue to choose different educational paths; this is one reason for the persistent gender segregation in the labour market. Cultural and economic explanations for occupational gender segregation both contend that gendered career choices reflect gendered preferences. By analysing data from a multifactorial survey experiment conducted in Norway, designed to isolate the preferences for occupations from preferences for job attributes with which occupation is often correlated: pay; type of position; and amount of work, this article examines whether and to what extent boys and girls who have not yet entered the labour market have different preferences for different work dimensions. The study shows some gender differences in occupational preferences, while also demonstrating similarities in boys’ and girls’ preferences for work dimensions, such as pay and working hours. This indicates that attributes tested by the experiment, which are typically associated with gendered occupations, cannot independently explain why boys and girls tend to have divergent occupational preferences. Importantly, however, the results suggest that boys’ reluctance to undertake some female-typed occupations might be reduced if they did not pay less than male-typed occupations requiring the same level of education.
Study of Vehicle Vibration Model Based on Lagrange Method

The vibrating behavior of multiple DOF vehicle systems is very much dependent to their natural frequencies and mode shapes. These characteristics can be determined by solving an eigenvalue and an eigenvector problem. The kinetic energy, potential energy, and dissipation function of the system was defined by quadratures and the equations of motion were derived by applying the Lagrange method. Numerical example was calculated. The results show that the method is correct and it lay a good foundation for further research on vehicle vibration.
From conventional control to autonomous intelligent methods

In this article we review the growth and development of control engineering, leading to modern adaptive methods and finally to autonomous intelligent control. Although the use of feedback control can be traced back to ancient and medieval times, it is really during the 20th century that control engineering has become a recognized discipline. Well-established methods to model and control plants with linear characteristics and unchanging parameters are already in existence. Nonlinear plants with time-varying internal parameters are more challenging and the so-called "adaptive" methods have been developed to address this issue. There are controllers that can "learn" by using AI techniques such as expert systems, genetic algorithms, neural networks, etc. These paradigms have evolved mostly from studying biological learning processes.
SELF-CONFIDENCE IN ANTHONY McCARTEN’S MOVIE SCRIPT BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

This research was aimed at conducting analysis on self-confidence in Anthony McCarten’s movie script, Bohemian Rhapsody. The self-confidence was analysed by using the theory proposed by Lindenfield (1994) who states that self-confidence consists of self-confidence born and inner self-confidence. Self-confidence born allows someone to show confidence in what he will do. This confidence can make someone believe in himself to achieve what he wants. In confidence born, he claims that a person must develop skills such as communication, assertiveness and feeling control. Inner self-confidence is self-confidence that gives to the individual’s feelings and suppositions that the individual is in good condition. There are three main characteristics that are distinctive to people who have a healthy inner self-confidence. The three characteristics are self-love, self-understanding, and positive thinking. This research used descriptive qualitative method because the discussion was descriptively accomplished. The descriptive qualitative method was applied to explain the self-confidence to get success from the quotations in the movie script. The result result shows that self-confidence born and inner self-confidence vividly played important role to make the protagonist’s success come true.
Actuator Power Consumption of Active Suspension System with Override Control Strategy

The main function of the vehicle suspension is to improve ride and handling performance. In vehicle active suspension, better ride comfort is usually required larger control input and larger suspension deflection. However, the actuator that deliver the control signal have a limitation which is commonly known as actuator saturation. There is also a structural constraint that limits the suspension deflection. In this study, an alternative approach to the vehicle active suspension system is proposed. In this approach, some separation in the controller such that one part is devoted to achieve nominal performance and the other part is devoted to constraint handling is performed. In addition, the actuator power consumption of the proposed control strategy is further investigated numerically. The simulation results show that the proposed control strategy can manage the trade-off between performance and the actuator power consumption.
How High Achievers Learn That They Should Not Become Teachers

In this article, Zid Mancenido examines how high-achieving students are socialized to believe that they should not become K–12 classroom teachers. Research has well established that academically successful students are often disinterested in teaching as a career, yet there has been little attention to how this disinterest is developed through the process of career exploration. To address this gap in the literature, Mancenido conducts a narrative inquiry based on interviews with high-achieving recent college graduates and graduating seniors. He presents six representative vignettes to demonstrate how high achievers learn through explicit and implicit signals that teaching is not appropriate for someone like them. This process is social, with parents and peers playing a significant role in shaping beliefs. These findings suggest that policy efforts to recruit more high achievers into teaching may benefit from more focus earlier in the career exploration pipeline.
Gully Headcut Advance

Gully headcut advance rates were examined in a cohesive soil with multiple overfall heights and discharges. Eleven tests were conducted in a 1.8-m-wide and 29-m-long flume at near field scale. Preformed overfalls with average heights of 0.96, 1.25, and 1.55 m were tested to failure at average discharges of 0.75, 1.59, and 2.42 m3/s. Soil from the same source was used for all tests. The observed headcut advance rates ranged from 0 to 1.6 m/h. All but one test displayed uniform headcut advance rates. The tests were performed while attempting to hold soil moisture and soil density constant and examining the influence of overfall height and discharge on headcut advance. The observed variation in placed soil conditions appeared to have as much influence on headcut advance as did the overfall height and discharge variations. Examination of a subset of the data suggests that the advance rate increases as the overfall height increases. The aeration status of the headcut and the dominant mode of failure are discussed.

The control procedures are designed based on the platform of virtual instrument. Through the different setting parameters, we can achieve real-time monitoring and dynamic simulation of the entire control process. The test results are very close to the simulation results. The system can achieve the ideal control, and has the advantages of convenient operation, high intelligence, high precision and so on.
A dual bias-feed circuit design for SiGe HBT low-noise linear amplifier

An SiGe HBT low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a novel diode/resistor dual base bias-feed circuit is described. The dual bias-feed circuit extends P1 dB without degradation of the noise figure (NF). In the small-signal region, a conventional resistor bias-feed circuit is a dominant base current source and, in the large-signal region, the diode turns on and the diode bias-feed circuit supplies the base current like a voltage source, which allows higher output power and linearity. In this paper, the operation principle of the dual bias-feed circuit is explained by using a virtual current source model, which indicates the increase of base current of the HBT in a large-signal region. The design method is also described for the idle current of the diode bias-feed circuit in a small-signal region from the points-of-view of NF and P1 dB. The effectiveness of the dual bias-feed circuit is evaluated by simulation and measurement. The fabricated 2-GHz-band dual bias-feed LNA has the P1 dB improvement of 5 dB and no degradation NF compared with the conventional resistor bias-feed LNA.
Impact of agricultural water management interventions on upstream–downstream trade‐offs in the upper Cauvery catchment, southern India: a modelling study *

The Cauvery basin in southern India is experiencing transboundary issues due to increasing water demand. This study analysed water balance components and the impact of agricultural water management (AWM) interventions in the upper Cauvery catchment of the Cauvery basin. Results showed that the study catchment receives an average of 1280 mm of annual rainfall. Of this, 29% (370 mm) flows downstream, 54% (700 mm) contributes to evapotranspiration (ET) and 17% (215 mm) contributes to groundwater recharge and surface storage. Rainfall varies from 700 to 5400 mm and the Western Ghats (mountain pass) are the main source of freshwater generation. The estimated ET in different catchments ranged from 500 to 900 mm per annum. An increase in the allocation of fresh water supplied by all three reservoirs (Hemavathi, Harangi and KRS) was observed in the canal command areas, from 1450 million cubic metres (MCM) yr‾¹ in 1971–1980 to 3800 MCM yr‾¹ in 2001–2010. AWM interventions harvested 140–160 MCM (13–20 mm) of surface runoff upstream of the upper Cauvery and reduced inflow into the Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir by 2–6%. The study findings are useful for designing and planning suitable water management interventions at basin scale.
Digital adaptive hysteresis current control with clocked commutations and wide operating range

A new hysteresis current control technique for voltage source inverters is proposed, which uses digital calculation to predict the proper band amplitude in order to minimize the error and give a switching frequency synchronized with a clock. The technique is self-adapting to supply and load parameters, and is easily extended to three-phase systems using the decoupling approach already proposed by the same authors. The proposed technique exhibits both the advantages typical of the hysteresis methods, and those of the digital controls. The implementation of the control is done by means of a standard microcontroller and simple additional circuitry. Simulations and experimental tests confirmed the advantages and the excellent performance of the new modulation method. >
A high-selectivity switched-capacitor bandpass filter

A high-selectivity switched-capacitor bandpass filter is presented. The filter center frequency is 100 kHz with a -3 dB bandwidth of 980 Hz (i.e., with a quality factor Q/spl sim/100). This has been implemented with a 12th-order transfer function whose poles are placed at only two frequencies. This choice has been used in the integrated circuit realization. In fact, the transfer function has been implemented using the cascade of six biquad cells of only two types. For the available 20 samples, the center frequency mean-value error is lower than 0.2%, and the Q mean-value error is lower than 0.2% as well. The filter is realized in a not-recent BiCMOS technology (L/sub NMOS/=4 /spl mu/m, L/sub PMOS/=3 /spl mu/m). The same performance (opamp, switches, and overall filter) can be easily obtained with a standard scaled-down (0.35 /spl mu/m, for instance) CMOS technology. In this direction, an evaluation of the area and power consumption of the circuit as implemented in a standard 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS technology is finally given.
Chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab and antiangiogenesis in young patients with advanced primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma: Two case reports

Primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma is an unusual histological type of non-small cell lung cancer and has a rare prevalence at a young age. There is no standard first-line therapy for advanced primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma in children and young adults—this study reports two rare cases of primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma with wild-type anaplastic lymphoma kinase and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) genes. One is a 13-year-old boy ( Case#1 ), and another is a 27-year-old male ( Case#2 ). Both two cases were treated with antibiotics for suspected pulmonary infection. In our hospital, they were diagnosed with advanced primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECGO) performance status was three scores. We chose pembrolizumab and chemotherapy plus angiogenesis inhibitors for Case#1 and Case#2 . The two patients' symptoms improved and presented with a partial response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria，the scores of ECOG performance status were two for Case#1 and one for Case#2 . This study illustrates a promising outcome for advanced primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma with immunotherapy and chemotherapy plus angiogenesis inhibitors at a young age.
ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE ANCIENT RATNAGIRI UNIVERSITY COMPLEX: A DESIGN RECONSTRUCTION STUDY

Ratnagiri University was an ancient residential Buddhist University that flourished during the period of 6 th -12 th century CE in Orissa (20.6330N 86.3330E). In this study we seek to examine the energy efficiency of the University’s edifices from a fluid mechanical point of view, using the Software Autodesk® Ecotect® and X-Flow. From a site visit, notable phenomena such as stack ventilation effects in the multi storied dormitories and acoustic filtering of high frequency sounds were suggested upon examining the building forms, which included stupas, courtyards, both windowless and windowed rooms and numerous sculptures amongst a large medley of archaeological remains. This study, the first ever to analyze an ancient Buddhist University, places a particular emphasis on the orientation, siting, infiltration, ventilation, day lighting and acoustics. From these analyses we seek to infer the prowess of the populace of that period, concerning harness of natural resources and design strategies.
Implementation of the load survey system in Taipower

This paper illustrates the load survey project which has been designed and implemented in Taipower since 1993. The multiple functions of power system planning and operation to be supported by the load survey system have been identified to justify the cost effectiveness of the project. The stratified sampling algorithm has been applied to determine the proper size of customers for the installation of intelligent meters so that the customer load profiles solved can represent the actual system load characteristics in a sufficiently confidential level. In the study, the test customers within each customer class are selected by the random number method based on the standard deviation of power consumption of all customers in the class. The power consumption of test customers within every 15 minutes has been collected for 4 years and the statistic analysis has been applied to derive the typical load patterns of each customer class. With the precious information provided by the load survey system, Taipower is considering to revise the load forecasting and system planning, to design more proper tariff structure according to the actual contribution of power consumption by each customer class and the corresponding electricity service cost. By investigating the load composition of each customer class, more effective load management strategies are also designed by Taipower to reduce the system load demand during summer peak period.
MoS2 Nanodonuts for High-Sensitivity Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Nanohybrids of graphene and two-dimensional (2D) layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) nanostructures can provide a promising substrate for extraordinary surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) due to the combined electromagnetic enhancement on TMD nanostructures via localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) and chemical enhancement on graphene. In these nanohybrid SERS substrates, the LSPR on TMD nanostructures is affected by the TMD morphology. Herein, we report the first successful growth of MoS2 nanodonuts (N-donuts) on graphene using a vapor transport process on graphene. Using Rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a probe, SERS spectra were compared on MoS2 N-donuts/graphene nanohybrids substrates. A remarkably high R6G SERS sensitivity up to 2 × 10−12 M has been obtained, which can be attributed to the more robust LSPR effect than in other TMD nanostructures such as nanodiscs as suggested by the finite-difference time-domain simulation. This result demonstrates that non-metallic TMD/graphene nanohybrids substrates can have SERS sensitivity up to one order of magnitude higher than that reported on the plasmonic metal nanostructures/2D materials SERS substrates, providing a promising scheme for high-sensitivity, low-cost applications for biosensing.
Cross-cultural comparison of fundamental movement skills in 9- to 10-year-old children from England and China

The present study aimed to examine cross-cultural differences in fundamental movement skills (FMS) proficiency levels in children aged 9–10 years old in England and China, using a process-oriented FMS measurement. Four FMS (run, jump, throw, catch) were measured using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2). The sample consisted of 272 (58.3% boys, 41.7% girls) Chinese children and 273 (48.7% boys, 51.3% girls) English children. ANCOVA analysis for the raw FMS scores showed significant sex by country interaction (P = .022, partial η2 = .01). Chinese children scored higher than English children on total FMS, locomotor, and object control skill subsets. Additional Chi-squared analyses revealed significant differences regarding mastery levels of skills, with a higher proportion of Chinese children being classified as having advanced skill proficiency across three of four selected FMS (i.e. run, throw, and catch). The substantial cross-cultural differences found may be related to aspects such as Physical Education (PE) provision and process, educational policy, and other physical activity opportunities (e.g. extracurricular organised sports). Our findings require further examination of the contextual influences, in order to understand the optimal strategies that promote children's FMS development through PE, youth sports, or physical activity promotion.
