Expert Labour as a Differentiated Category: Power, Knowledge and Organisation

The idea of ‘expert labour’ as a category uniting many kinds of knowledge‐based work has long been of interest. At the same time, existing models often do not differentiate between the many forms of ‘new’ expertise in the main business and technological groups. These tend to be consolidated in single categories of ‘entrepreneurial’, ‘organisational’ or ‘commercial’ professions. This paper built on Reed's seminal account of the expert division of labour. It used his analytic dimensions of power, knowledge and organisation to develop a new framework comparing clusters of expert labour in professional services, business services and knowledge work. It offered a more detailed classification and a comparative view that throws fresh light on key debates around new professionalism and emergent technologically defined occupations.
Nano-Engineered Dielectrics for Energy Storage Solutions

We present a novel laser processing technique to produce nanodielectric films, which are based on polymer coated metal nanoparticles. The polymercoated Au NP composite was spin-coated onto a nickel foil serving as the bottom electrode and aluminum was used as the capacitor top electrode. We will also present a second approach towards achieving high-k dielectric structures by embedding metals (i.e., Au, Ag) into low dielectric materials (i.e., BN) with proven high breakdown and low loss properties using traditional thin film deposition methods. The large difference in lattice constant, thermal coefficient and wetting behavior between a metal and a dielectric material usually results in 3D growth for the metal layers. Post growth annealing can further develop this geometry and yield metal nanostructures (nanodots) embedded in the dielectric layers. Studies on capacitance measurements, TAS for density and energy of trapping centers, and IVT measurements for the energy of the dominant leakage path and relative magnitude of leakage current are currently underway and their results will be presented at the conference.
Detection of Phishing e-mail

Phishing has increased enormously over the last years and is a serious threat to global security and economy. Criminals are trying to convince unsuspecting online users to reveal sensitive information, e.g., passwords, account numbers, social security numbers or other personal information. Majority of the present day phishing attacks employ e-mail as their primary carrier, in order to allure unsuspecting victims to visitthe masqueraded website. In this paper describe the procedure of phishing attacks and a number of features that are particularly well-suited to identify phishing emails . Finally describe the detection of the phishing email .
BUILT TO CHANGE ORGANIZATIONS AND RESPONSIBLE PROGRESS: TWIN PILLARS OF SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS

The increasing interest in economic, social, and ecological sustainability has important implications for the traditional views on organization effectiveness, organization design, and organization development. Managers need to design organizations to achieve a “triple bottom line. ” A review of the organization effectiveness literature suggests that no single model seems to provide the necessary guidance, and there is a clear need for creation, revision, and integration. Organization effectiveness criteria in the future require a clearer modeling of the multistakeholder demands so that organization designers can specify appropriate strategies, structures, systems, and processes as well as the changes necessary to develop them. We propose an integration called “responsible progress” and suggest that it represents an important new stream of organization development theory. The relationships between this new criterion of organization effectiveness and the design features necessary to pursue them must be tested.
Increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is associated with higher incidence of acute kidney injury and worse survival after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Background Although considered a minimally invasive procedure, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) generates an inflammatory response which is related to post-procedural complications including acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of the present study was to analyze the association between simple, easily available post-operative morphological parameters of inflammatory status such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and AKI as well as post-discharge survival. Methods The study group was comprised of 203 consecutive patients (102 females and 101 males, mean age 78 ± 6.9 years) who underwent TAVI between January 2013 and March 2017. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Baseline and subsequent post-procedural blood samples (at 8, 24, 48, 72 h and at discharge) were taken. Blood morphology (including NLR) and creatinine concentration were assessed. Long-term survival was also analyzed. Results Seventy-four (36.5%) patients developed AKI. Baseline morphological parameters did not differ between subject with and without AKI. Those reflecting post-procedural inflammatory response, including leucocytes, neutrophils and NLR increased significantly following TAVI in both subgroups and the rise was more pronounced in AKI patients (p < 0.001). A comparison of Kaplan-Meier curves for patients with the lowest (NLR 1; below 25th percentile) and highest NLR (NLR 3; above 75th) revealed a significant difference in the log-rank test (p = 0.049). Estimated probability of 1-, 2- and 5-year survival were 100% vs. 79%, 94% vs. 77% and 75% vs. 46%, respectively in subgroup NLR 1 and NLR 3. Conclusions Inflammatory response after TAVI, estimated by means of NLR, is more pronounced in patients with AKI. A higher value of NLR is associated with a lower probability of long-term survival after TAVI.
Impact of iron loss on behaviour of vector controlled induction machines

Vector control principles are derived under the assumption that iron core loss may be neglected. The paper discusses effects of this simplification on performance of vector controlled induction machines. Indirect stator, air gap and rotor flux oriented control of a current fed machine are dealt with, with the emphasis on indirect rotor flux oriented control. Models of vector controlled induction machines that account for the iron loss are derived and the mechanism of core loss influence on behaviour of the drives is highlighted. It is shown that detuning caused by neglecting the core loss will inevitably take place. The amount of detuning is investigated for steady-state operation for all the three types of vector control. A new decoupling circuit for indirect rotor flux oriented control is proposed. The circuit accounts for iron loss and eliminates detuning which is otherwise present. <<ETX>>
Vibration Parameters Optimization Experiment on Seeder of Rice Bud-Seed for Field Seedling Raising Based on Virtual Prototyping Technology

The seeder of rice bud-seed for field seedling raising is a new seedling equipment for field seedling raising, which is a complicated vibration system with multi-freedom. And the effect of the vibration parameters and interactions on the vibration velocity at different locations of the moving rail of two electromagnetic vibration metering devices which are installed side by side is large, and the passing rate of seeding is affected. In this paper, the virtual prototype of seeder of rice bud-seed for field seedling raising is established by ANSYS and ADAMS. The virtual prototype is developed to carry out dynamics simulation by using four-factor quadratic regression orthogonal rotary combination design. Mathematical models of influencing factors of vibration and variation coefficient of vibration velocity, and the factors and average velocity of seeding are established. The factors are optimized. And optimal combination of vibration influencing factors and the variation coefficient of vibration velocity interval with 95% reliability are achieved. The result shows that optimal combination of factors is achieved under the condition that the excitation force amplitude is 39.8N, vibration frequency is 32.7Hz, the velocity is 58.5mm/s, stiffness of vibration isolating rubber pad is 1167N/mm. The corresponding variation coefficient of the vibration velocity is 6.287%, and the average seeding velocity is 18mm/s. The variation coefficient of the vibration velocity interval with 95% reliability is from 2.909% to 9.665%.
ACOUSTIC TELEMETRY FROM FISH

Methods are described for monitoring physiological parameters s)Jch as temperature and electrocardio­ gram from free swimming fish. Information is telemetered as sound radiating from an acoustic transmitter implanted on the fish. Limitations of the technique and construction details of representative devices are covered. Uses in both behavior and physiology are considered. Acoustic telemetry allows an investigator to study the behavior and physiology of fish under conditions which approximate their natural state. Improvements in electronic techniques permit construction of devices the size of one's little finger; these devices can transmit data such as heartbeat and temperature over ranges of sev­ eral hundred meters for as long as a month. We describe here the use and constraints on sound as a means of transmitting these data. We then dis­ cuss, in detail sufficient for duplication, the con­ struction of sample devices for transmitting, re­ ceiving, and interpreting the data. Finally, we show how these devices have been applied to specific experimental problems, and discuss the results we have obtained.
The Paradigm of Game System Building

In this article, we posit ‘game system building’ as a paradigm for game design. Inspired by earlier perspectives on cybernetic art, and current practices in game development and education, we consider the creation of dynamic game systems as a creativeartistic practice where the consideration of complex and often unpredictable behavior and effects are as foundational as the individual elements (rules, graphics, characters, UI etc.) of a game. The paradigm of ‘game system building’ has important implications for the education of designers and games scholars. In this article, we introduce the paradigm and its lineage, and propose an educational approach that reflects ‘game system building’.
Effects of the yaw angle on the aerodynamic behaviour of the Messina multi-box girder deck section

An analysis refinement of the Messina Strait suspension bridge project has been recently required, concerning mainly the yaw angle effects on the multi-box deck section aerodynamics and the vortex shedding at low reduced velocities . In particular the possible interaction of the axial flow with the large cross beams has been investigated. An original test rig has been designed at this purpose allowing for both forced motion and free motion aero elastic tests, varying the average angle of attack and the deck yaw angle . The hydraulic driven test rig allowed for both dynamic and stationary tests so that both the stationary coefficients and the flutter derivatives have been evaluated for each yaw angle. Specific free motion tests, taking advantage from the aeroelastic features of the section model, allowed also the study of the vortex shedding induced phenomena.
HEPARAN SULFATE: LANDING SITE FOR THE DENGUE VIRAL STRAINS TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE HOST CELLS

Humans usually contract dengue by being bitten by arthropods, and more than 3.6 billion people are at risk per year. Although studies are conducted to screen and trace out the possible pathophysiology of the virus, an adequate receptor-based study has not been completed. Understanding how the dengue virus (DV) engraves its landing sites requires identification of such cellular receptors. In many model studies, heparan sulfate (HS) has been reported to act as a DV receptor under various conditions. However, the physiological relevance of these findings remains uncertain. Therefore, it is still unclear whether HS is used by viral strains or not, and if at all used by clinical or non-cell culture-adapted strains of DV. The present review aims to identify relevant experimental evidences that confirm the possible interaction between envelope protein and HS chains. We collected data from a series of studies to conclude the interactive role.
Uric Acid in Inflammation and the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis

Hyperuricemia is a common metabolic syndrome. Elevated uric acid levels are risk factors for gout, hypertension, and chronic kidney diseases. Furthermore, various epidemiological studies have also demonstrated an association between cardiovascular risks and hyperuricemia. In hyperuricemia, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced simultaneously with the formation of uric acid by xanthine oxidases. Intracellular uric acid has also been reported to promote the production of ROS. The ROS and the intracellular uric acid itself regulate several intracellular signaling pathways, and alterations in these pathways may result in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. In this review, we describe the effect of uric acid on various molecular signals and the potential mechanisms of atherosclerosis development in hyperuricemia. Furthermore, we discuss the efficacy of treatments for hyperuricemia to protect against the development of atherosclerosis.
New On-Chip De-Embedding for Accurate Evaluation of Symmetric Devices

For the millimeter-wave wireless transceivers, miniaturized on-chip passive devices are employed to increase wireless communication speed. For using miniaturized devices, it is necessary to evaluate test vehicles in advance, in which de-embedding is applied to on-chip evaluation. Although open-short de-embedding is currently most popular, accurate de-embedding is difficult because the ground plane in a short dummy pattern is not ideal in practice. To overcome this problem, we have proposed a new de-embedding method using only a through dummy pattern, called the through-only de-embedding method. By this through-only de-embedding method, we show that a small on-chip inductor with more than 100 pico-henries can be evaluated within 1.18% error.
The “Rutgers Ankle” Orthopedic Rehabilitation Interface

This paper presents a novel ankle rehabilitation device currently under development. The haptic interface component has a Stewart platform structure with pneumatic actuators controlled by an electronic interface. It allows movement of the ankle though its full range of motion. The system communicates with a PC through an RS232 port. The PC will run game-like virtual reality exercises that control the movement and output forces of the device. These simulations will make exercising more enjoyable, transparently recording patient progress for evaluation by therapists. The “Rutgers Ankle” Orthopedic Rehabilitation Interface will facilitate the healing of one of the most often injured joints of the body. Inherently safe and easy-to-operate, it will combine the capabilities of many current rehabilitation devices. This system will enhance rehabilitation routines by providing three types of exercises: strengthening, stretching, and balancing. Eventually, this system will allow patients to exercise in their homes while being monitored remotely by therapists or physicians.
A New Kind of Self-coupled Electrorheological Damper and its Vibration Character

The design and manufacture of a second-generation adaptive damper composed of an electrorheological (ER) fluid, and piezoelectric ceramics is presented in this paper. Compared with the first-generation dampers, there are three aspects of modification adopted in the design of this. These include (a) the number, mode of arrangement, and electrocircuit connecting style of piezoceramics, (b) load applying mechanism, and (c) hole-channel in the concentric cylinder electrode. The experiment conducted shows that the amplitude of frequency response function decreases drastically in the frequency range of 220-250 Hz under an exciting acceleration amplitude of 3.5 g (g the gravitational acceleration) and the resonance frequency moves from 198 to 208 Hz. The new damper excels the old one in antivibration performance. In the on-off state model, numerical simulations clearly show the vibration suppression effect of the damper. The design method of combining the ER fluid and the piezoelectric ceramic as a self-coupled system can be implemented extensively in other control systems, such as acoustic insulation and control.
Series-parallel resonant converter operating in discontinuous current mode. Analysis, design, simulation, and experimental results

A full bridge high-frequency link series parallel resonant converter (SPRC) operating in discontinuous current mode is analyzed using the state-space approach. The equations are solved using the PROMATLAB software. Design curves for the converter gain and other component stresses are presented in normalized form. The converter has been optimized for peak component stresses, and the corresponding design curves obtained from PROMATLAB and SPICE3 simulation are presented. Using the optimal design curves, a 250-kHz experimental converter operating on a wide input voltage (1:2) has been built to verify the theoretical and SPICE3 simulation results.
Ramptime current control [for power convertors]

Ramptime current control is a new robust technique for directly controlling the inductor current in switched power converters. It is largely invariant with respect to circuit parameters and system voltages. Ramptime is a sliding mode method producing zero average current error (ZACE) in each switching period with a controlled switching frequency band. The converter transient response, ripple current and switching frequency band are discussed. Simulation and experimental results showing negligible low order harmonics are presented for a single phase AC-DC power converter.
Strain energy band engineering approach to AlN/GaN/InN heterojunction devices

The authors' results clearly demonstrate that quaternary Al/sub x/In/sub y/Ga/sub 1-x-y/N layers can be used to improve the performance of heterojunction devices by controlling strain and/or lattice mismatch to GaN. They also demonstrated that In incorporation in the ternary layers significantly improves their structural and optical properties. The quaternary AlInGaN layers can be lattice matched either to GaN, AlGaN or AlInGaN by a proper selection of alloy compositions. This "strain energy band engineering" approach has allowed them to develop novel GaN-based transistors, UV LEDs, and solar blind photodetectors.
Participatory Microbiome Research With Hmong and Karen Communities: Lessons Learned

In this brief report, we share lessons learned from the Immigrant Microbiome Project (IMP), a microbiome research study conducted in partnership with the Hmong and Karen communities in Minnesota. Members of the IMP academic-community research team and community advisory board reflected on the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach used for the IMP project, which informed these lessons learned. The IMP illustrates how microbiome researchers can utilize CBPR, which can improve the validity of research projects, create respectful partnerships, build trust between community members and researchers, and ensure that research results are returned to the community as actions that can improve health.
Les agro-solvants pour l’extraction des huiles végétales issues de graines oléagineuses

Les huiles representent une part importante du regime alimentaire chez l’homme et contiennent de nombreux nutriments essentiels. Les consommateurs se montrent de plus en plus attentifs aux mentions relatives a l’origine et a la qualite des produits qu’ils achetent. Quant aux industries, elles ont compris qu’il n’est desormais plus possible de produire sans penser a l’environnement. Cet article traite de l’utilisation d’agro-solvants afin de substituer l’hexane, solvant le plus largement utilise pour l’extraction de graines oleagineuses. En effet, l’hexane presente de nombreux inconvenients, comme par exemple sa grande inflammabilite, sa dangerosite pour la sante et l’environnement et son origine non-renouvelable. Son utilisation dans le domaine de l’extraction est discutee depuis les annees 1980, avec une intensite renouvelee depuis les annees 2000. Une vue d’ensemble d’agro-solvants alternatifs est presentee.
Forecasting Engineering Costs: Two Case Studies

In recent years the subject of statistical forecasting has been brought to a sharp focus as a major area of engineering management decision-making process by the growth of substantive literature and by the onset of sophisticated computers. The choice of the most suitable forecasting technique for a particular engineering application is by no means a simple decision. This study presents two statistical methods that fully make use of the available historical data — the Box-Jenkins stochastic method and the Holt-Winters smoothing method. The forecasts made by both the methods agree very well with the actual observations.
Synthesis and Characterization of Super Absorbent Polymers for Agricultural Purposes

Superabsorbent hydrogels (SAH) are very unique water- absorbing and water holding materials. Superabsorbent polymers are environmentally useful as water retention agents, for purposes such as agricultural applications and combating desertification. In this paper we investigate the preparation of SAH to reach highest yield with maximum swelling. Also effect of different operating parameters was studied. Bench scale results were used for design a pilot scale batch to produce 20 kg o SAH. The future objective of this study is the application of the prepared SAH in agriculture field. The product has already been launching in the cultivation of squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) and the initial results were promising.
in Model-based Prognostics

prediction of end of life and remaining useful life within a probabilistic framework that supports uncertainty management. We also develop a novel variance control mechanism that maintains an uncertainty bound around the hidden parameters to limit the amount of estimation uncertainty and, consequently, reduce prediction uncertainty. We construct a detailed physics-based model of a centrifugal pump, to which we apply our model­ based prognostics algorithms. We illustrate the operation of the prognostic solution with a number of simulation-based experiments and demonstrate the performance of the chosen approach when multiple damage mechanisms are active.
Benchmarking of patents: An application of GAM methodology ⁄

The present article reexamines some of the issues regarding the benchmarking of patents using the NBER data base on U.S. patents by generalizing a parametric citation model and by estimating it using GAM methodology. The main conclusion is that the estimated eects dier considerably from sector to sector, and the dierences can be estimated nonparametrically but not by the parametric dummy variable approach.
Tactile sensing based on acoustic resonance tensor cell

We propose a new tactile sensing element, the acoustic resonant tensor cell. The structure is a spherical cavity in an elastic tactile sensor body with two fine ultrasound paths extended respectively to an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver which are placed at the bottom of the elastomer. The acoustic resonant frequency of the air in the cavity has an explicit relation with the principal stresses around it, which is easily detected by the ultrasonic transducers. The sensor is simple and elastic. The single structure obtains useful multi-dimensional tactile features. The principle of the device and experimental results are described.
