THE DUTCH MODEL FOR MAKING WALKING AND CYCLING SAFER

In the long struggle to reduce road deaths in the Netherlands and Australia, the Dutch have been more successful in making walking and cycling safer. With 28 percent of all trips made by bicycle, the Dutch road system is safer for everyone. The Dutch peak road death rate was 24.7 deaths per 100,000 population in 1972 and the Australian peak death rate was 30.4 in 1970. By 1998 the rate was down to 7.5 in the Netherlands and 9.5 in Australia. The death rates for motorists are similar but the pedestrian death rate per million km walked is five times higher in Australia and the death rate per million km cycled is twice as high. Walking and cycling are necessary for human health, but Australians walk much less than 20 years ago. Not so the Dutch who have better facilities for walking and bicycling; urban design more sensitive to their needs; lower speeds on urban roads; restrictions on motor vehicle use and parking; more rigorous traffic education; and strict enforcement of traffic regulations protecting non-motorised users. The peak cyclist and pedestrian bodies and the TCPA say that there is much to learn from the Dutch model and their common recommendations for action are presented here.

Beef cattle production: Understanding the effect of heifer development system, late gestation protein supplementation, and ovarian steroidogenic environment on productivity, reproduction, and longevity

A 3-yr study was conducted to determine the effect of heifer development system on ADG, reproductive performance, and subsequent feed efficiency as a pregnant heifer. Crossbred Angus heifers (n= 299) were assigned by initial BW to be developed grazing corn residue (CR) or in a drylot (DL). Corn residue heifers grazed native pasture 33 d prior to grazing CR 73 d. Corn residue heifers were then placed on dormant forage pastures 67 d and then combined with DL heifers for approximately 39 d for estrus synchronization and AI. Heifers assigned to DL grazed dormant forage for 98 d and then placed in a DL for 114 d. Prebreeding BW was greater (P = 0.01) for DL heifers compared with CR heifers (349 vs. 314 ± 9 kg). At pregnancy diagnosis BW remained greater (P = 0.05) for DL compared with CR heifers (422 vs. 403 ± 9 kg). Drylot heifers had greater (P = 0.01) overall ADG during development compared with CR heifers. Corn residue-developed heifers tended (P = 0.11) to have increased AI conception rates compared with DL heifers (74 vs. 65 ± 8). However, there was no difference (P ≥ 0.32) in percent cycling (42 vs. 52 ± 15%) prior to the breeding season or final pregnancy rates (95 vs. 92 ± 2%) for CR and DL heifers, respectively. Gestation length, calving date, and calf birth BW were similar (P ≥ 0.37) between development systems. At the beginning of the second winter, a subset of AI pregnant heifers (n = 114) were stratified by BW and

E-mail: humeyracobanoglu@hotmail.com P: +90 5055950962 Corresponding Author ORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8502-0232 Abstract Aim: Breast milk should be given alone for the first six months and after six months with supplementary food for at least two years. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge and behavior of women related to breast milk and breastfeeding of 0-24 months old babies. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 401 women. Sociodemographic characteristics of mothers were questioned, a questionnaire including questions about breast milk and breast-feeding knowledge levels and behaviors was applied. Results: Infants born normally were introduced earlier to breast milk after delivery compared to infants born by cesarean section (p<0.001). Premature infants have started to take breast milk later than the infants born mature (p<0.001), and the rates of taking only breast milk in the first six months were low (p<0.001). The breastfeeding rate of working mothers was lower than housewives (p=0.036). While the normal spontaneous delivery rate was high in non-working mothers, the rate of cesarean section was higher in working mothers (p=0.021). The frequency of exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months, when babies aged between 6-24 months (n=339) were evaluated, 71.1% (n=241) took only breast milk during the first six months. Fathers with higher levels of education were more positive and supportive of breastfeeding than the fathers with lower education levels (p=0.028). Discussion: In conclusion, starting breastfeeding educations from pregnancy, reducing the incidence of cesarean sections without indications, encouraging normal spontaneous delivery, and motivating and raising awareness of mothers with premature infants will positively affect breastfeeding.
THE SCIENCE OF SOUND

This article describes research and development on car noise and vibration by the German car manufacturer Opel. Opel now has one of the world's largest anechoic chambers, 22m long by 16m wide. It can measure 'pass-by' noise in any weather, and has a powertrain test rig, which allows the whole powertrain and exhaust system to be examined away from the bodywork. By making vibrations visible, holography is helping to reduce the development time of a new car model by up to two months; it uses the interference principle to analyse structures without actual contact. Using holographic patterns, acoustic experts can work with design engineers on modifications to eliminate vibration. Psychoacoustics is perhaps the most exciting area of research. It applies the theory that sound can counter behaviour as well as influence it. If a driver is being aggressive or driving too fast, sound inside the car can be used to alter his driving style. By 'learning' a driver's personality, a car could take appropriate action to ensure safety and comfort by producing pleasant sounds in the car. However, these methods are still in the experimental stage. Opel is also conducting research on the stressful effects of noise and vibrations in cars.

Recent insights in Silver-Russell Syndrome

The aim of this review is to summarize the most recent information about Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS), a clinically and genetically heterogeneous imprinting disorder that causes prenatal and postnatal growth retardation. Particular attention was focused on several recommendations for clinical diagnosis and management of patients with SRS published by the Consensus Statement on SRS in 2017. Clinical aspects include intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation with relative macrocephaly, a typical triangular face, body asymmetry and other less specific features. Diagnosis is still challenging because of clinical diagnosis not often confirmed by molecular findings. Overlap exists between the care of children born small for gestational age and those with SRS. However, several recommendations are specific for SRS. Treatment goals can be achieved by a multidisciplinary team approach, but natural history of this disease should be studied by long-term follow up until adulthood.
Model-based active control of thermoacoustic instability in continuous combustion processes

Thermoacoustic instability is frequently found in continuous combustion processes in propulsion, power generation, and heating. Active control has been increasingly pursued in recent years to suppress the pressure oscillations which result from this instability, while maintaining performance objectives such as low NOx emission and high efficiency. This thesis considers the physics behind the thermoacoustic instability and utilizes a model based on the physics to understand the problem and design an active controller to suppress the instability. A one-dimensional, laminar combustor is modeled and a 1 kW bench-top combustor rig constructed for experimental validation of simulation results. The model considers the linear acoustic and flame dynamics, acoustic mode coupling, and actuator dynamics. Several model-based control designs including proportional, phase-lead, and LQG are presented and tested on the bench-top combustor using a 0.2 W loudspeaker as an actuator. Results show that the model-based controllers are effective in suppressing the instability, and that the simulation results accurately predict the response of the real system. Using the LQG controller, a settling time of as low as 23 milliseconds was obtained, significantly faster than those reported on similar setups. The nonlinear dynamics which leads to the limit-cycle behavior in real systems are investigated by looking at several "blackbox" type models of nonlinear behavior. The performance of the linear controllers on the nonlinear models is investigated and an explanation for their success given. Thesis Supervisor: Anuradha M.

CMOS Technology: Challenges for Future Development

Since the invention of the integrated circuit technologies, there has been an unprecedented growth of the electronic industry, with significant impact on the maritime industry. In the last twenty years and so, the strongest growth area of the electronic industry has been in complementary-symmetry/metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) VLSI technology. The sustained growth in CMOS VLSI technology is fueled by a continued shrinking of transistors to ever smaller dimensions. The benefits of miniaturization are higher packing densities, higher circuit speeds, and lower power dissipation. The transistors manufactured today are 20 times faster and occupy less than 1% of the area of those built 20 years ago. It is obvious that a continued reduction of the transistor area cannot sustain forever. This paper examines issues related to the future development of CMOS technology.
Modeling and Design of the Automatic Stance Phase Lock (ASPL) Knee Joint Control Mechanism for Paediatric Users With Transfemoral Amputations

The 2-axes Automatic Stance Phase Lock (ASPL) stance control mechanism has been demonstrated to improve adult amputees’ mobility but has yet to be developed for the paediatric population. The overall objective for this work was to characterize the ASPL control mechanism with biomechanical modelling and design a 2-axes ASPL prosthetic knee joint suitable for children between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Paediatric anthropometric data and ASPL control mechanism performance characteristics established from adult ASPL knee users were utilized to develop paediatric-appropriate configurations of the ASPL stance control mechanism. Additional predefined design criteria were also included in the detailed knee design. Developed prototypes of the knee joint, Children-ASPL (CASPL) knee, were clinically validated using a single-subject cross-over study design, to assess control mechanism and overall knee functions. Faster walking speed, longer step and stride length with the CASPL knee suggest potential improvements in overall walking performance. The participant also felt confident walking with the CASPL knee and perceived the locking mechanism to be stable. Stemming from the findings here, future design revisions are aimed to improve the performance of the current prototype, including reliability of knee lock disengagement and performance of the swing phase control mechanism.

Promising areas of research on the pharmacogenetics of dabigatran etexilate

Dabigatran etexilate is a prodrug of dabigatran, a direct inhibitor of thrombin. Pharmacokinetics of dabigatran etexilate doesn’t have the disadvantages of vitamin K antagonists. It is considered that CES1 enzyme and P-glycoprotein (CES1 and ABCB1 genes accordingly) play important role in pharmacokinetics of dabigatran etexilate. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes UGT2B15, UGT1A9, UGT2B7 (UGT2B15, UGT1A9, UGT2B7 genes accordingly) take part in the metabolism of active dabigatran. Presence of these gene’s single-nucleotide variants (SNV) can affect effectiveness and safety of dabigatran etexilate usage. The goal of this review is analysis of promising areas of associated researches of SNV of genes CES1 and ABCB1 and search for new candidate genes that reveal effectiveness and safety of dabigatran etexilate usage.
Semi Empirical Model for MOSFET at Low Temperature for Linear Region Operation

In the present work a semi-empirical model of Si MOSFET in temperature range of 10k -200k for linear region operation is presented. The Si MOSFET model includes the combined effect of variation in inversion charge ( ) and field effect carrier mobility ( ) on the current (I) voltage (V) characteristics of Si MOSFET due to low temperature variations. At low temperature due to freeze out effect there remain a fully ionized depletion region beneath the SiO2 which is responsible for the modification of substrate surface potential ( ). Further the flat band voltage ( ) varies with interface trapped charges ( ) which in turn effect the characteristics of the device. The depletion region charge ( ) and inversion region charge ( ) are a function temperature as the temperature decreases both and surface depletion edge ( ) increases which also causes to decrease. In the calculation of the variations of , , and fixed charge ( ) are considered. so it is necessary to understand and model the effect of temperature on various device parameters as this facilitates to determine several failure mechanisms in semiconductor devices at different temperatures and help in better high performance circuit designs(5). This paper presents a semi-empirical model of Si MOSFET in temperature range of 10k -200k for linear region operation is presented. The Si MOSFET model includes the combined effect of variation in inversion charge ( ) and field effect carrier mobility ( ) on the current (I) voltage (V) characteristics of Si MOSFET due to low temperature variations. The simulated results are compared with experimentally measured characteristics of a conventionally fabricated N MOS device.
Rotor aeroelastic stability coupled with helicopter body motion

A 5.5-foot-diameter, soft-in-plane, hingeless-rotor system was tested on a gimbal which allowed the helicopter rigid-body pitch and roll motions. Coupled rotor/airframe aeroelastic stability boundaries were explored and the modal damping ratios were measured. The time histories were correlated with analysis with excellent agreement. The effects of forward speed and some rotor design parameters on the coupled rotor/airframe stability were explored both by model and analysis. Some physical insights into the coupled stability phenomenon are suggested.
Ground Based Simulation Evaluation of the Effects of Time Delays and Motion on Rotorcraft Handling Qualities

Abstract : An exploratory simulation was conducted on the NASA Ames Research Center's Vertical Motion Simulator (VMS) to evaluate the effects of simulator characteristics on handling qualities for performing hover and low-speed tasks in a helicopter. The primary focus of the study was on subjective assessments of the variations, based on Cooper-Harper Handling Qualities Ratings (HQR's), rather than objective measures of pilot performance. Effects of variations in the three major elements of the simulation--the motion system, visual system, and math model--were evaluated. Seven precision and aggressive low-speed Mission-Task-Elements were performed. All tasks were Level 2 (average HQR worse than 3.5) fixed-base for the baseline helicopter, which was designed to provide Level 1 handling qualities in the real world. Addition Of motion improved ratings 1/2 to 2 points, resulting in Level l handling qualities for most tasks. Tradeoffs in motion acceleration gain and washout break frequency were evaluated with two sets of motion washouts. There was a preference for reduced washout frequencies (resulting in improved phasing between the visual and motion responses at mid to high frequencies, at the sacrifice of onset gain) for the precision tasks. Conversely, there was a slight preference for increased onset gains (at the sacrifice of visual/motion phasing) for the aggressive tasks. The effects on handling qualities of a visual delay compensation algorithm were investigated by three pilots. Helicopter, Handling qualities, Simulation, Time delay, Motion system.
