Characteristics of a 4-phase valve reluctance motor when powered by uncapacitor switchboard

Purpose. Nowadays more and more in a variety of machines and mechanisms applied switched reluctance motor. When designing these engines solve the problem selection switch. While the switch scheme comprises symmetrical bridge and eight transistors, eight diodes; Miller switch comprises six transistors and six diodes; in company Graseby Controls Ltd switch circuit but four transistors and four diodes includes two capacitors. The aim is to develop a mathematical model, calculation program, a numerical analysis of the characteristics and parameters of the WFD and the characteristics of their work. Methodology. It is assumed that the resistance in the open state transistors and diodes for direct current is zero and the resistance of the transistors in the closed state, and diode reverse voltage is infinity. When feeding a single-phase motor and power at the same time two adjacent phases determined by the flow through the tooth. Results. The motor powered by a switch on the circuit symmetrical bridge power, which provides a maximum permissible winding temperature is 1.665 kW. But at the same time the surge up to 38.8%, resulting in high levels of noise and vibration. Through the installation of switching angles, ensuring reduction of torque ripple and reduce engine power to a level below which there is a decrease in the value of torque ripple, received power of 1,066 kW and a torque ripple value of 21.18 %. For engines with improved vibration acoustic characteristics necessary to use a switch of four transistors and four diodes. Practical value. For motors with improved vibration acoustic characteristics appropriate to apply uncapacitor switch on four transistors and four diodes, which allows you to receive half the value of torque ripple than the lowest value of the motor torque ripple, eating from a switch on the circuit asymmetric bridge. The cost of reluctance motor with uncapacitor switch on the circuit with four transistors and four diodes is more than two times less than the motor with the switch on the circuit asymmetric bridge.
Tracking of High Speed and High Maneuvering Target Based on IMM Algorithm

It is a challengeable problem to track maneuvering targets,especially tracking the high speed and high maneuvering targets,which has both theoretically and practically technical difficulties.The existing algorithms have shortcomings when applied in this problem.Based on the existing maneuvering models and the IMM algorithm,this paper proposes a kind of IMM algorithm which uses many kinds of maneuvering models for the high speed and high maneuvering target tracking.Because of mutual supplement among different models,this algorithm overcomes some problems in using the single model.This algorithm is thought to be a feasible method for tracking high speed and high maneuvering targets which uses the "current" statistical model,the two-stage filter model and the CV model to interact.In order to verify the validity of this algorithm,Monte Carlo simulation is performed.The results indicate that this algorithm achieves better balance between the performance and computation complexity,and is very practicable.
A numerical model for CO effect evaluation in HT-PEMFCs: Part 1 - Experimental validation

In this paper, a self-made numerical model of a high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is presented. In particular, the experimental activity has been addressed to the impact on cell performance of the CO content in the anode gas feeding, for the whole operating range, and a numerical code has been implemented and validated against these experimental results.The proposed numerical model employs a zero-dimensional framework coupled with a semi-empirical approach, which aims at providing a smart and flexible tool useful for investigating the membrane behavior under different working conditions. Results show an acceptable agreement between numerical and experimental data, confirming the potentiality and reliability of the developed tool, despite its simplicity.

High angle of attack control system design based on ADRC and fuzzy logic

A missile autopilot design method based on active disturbance rejection control(ADRC) and fuzzy logic is proposed for agile turn of air-to-air missile with reaction-jet/aerodynamic blended control system.The scheme separates the missile pitching channel into angle of attack loop and pitching angular velocity loop.Controllers are designed by the ADRC respectively and combined to the whole control loop in tandem.Then a virtual control value is decided by the angle of attack command and allocated to aerodynamic deflectors and reaction jet control system.Finally,the feedback gains of the ADRC controller are adjusted in real time by fuzzy control.Simulation results indicate that the proposed strategy can track the high angle of attack command accurately,and it is applicable to finish agile turn at high angle of attack.
Internal control, peculiarities of application of the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and coso model

В данной статье мы проанализировали преимущества эффективного внутреннего контроля, или точнее сказать, закона Сарбейнса Оксли (SOX) и модели COSO. Мы рассмотрели, в частности, каким образом закон Сарбейнса Оксли влияет на корпоративный контроль и как слабый внутренний контроль определяет достоверность финансовых данных. В настоящем документе более подробно были рассмотрены такие разделы закона SOX, как 302, 404, 906, раскрытие информации о системе внутреннего контроля, и как они влияют на рынок корпоративного контроля. Кроме того, мы проанализировали модель COSO, а также каким образом данные законы могут быть реализованы на практике. In this paper we focus on the benefit of effective internal controls, or more precisely, the SarbanesOxley Act (SOX) and COSO model. We examine this issue in the context of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for corporate control and, consequently, how weak internal control determines the reliability of financial data. This paper examines how SOX 302, 404, 906 disclosures on the internal control environment affect the market for corporate control. Besides that, we analyzed COSO model and how the sections of these laws may be implemented in practice.
Package ‘fddm’

October 13, 2022 Type Package Title Fast Implementation of the Diffusion Decision Model Version 0.5-2 Description Provides the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), and the partial derivatives of the PDF of the diffusion decision model (DDM; e.g., Ratcliff & McKoon, 2008, <doi:10.1162/neco.2008.12-06-420>) with across-trial variability in the drift rate. Because the PDF, its partial derivatives, and the CDF of the DDM both contain an infinite sum, they need to be approximated. 'fddm' implements all published approximations (Navarro & Fuss, 2009, <doi:10.1016/j.jmp.2009.02.003>; Gondan, Blurton, & Kesselmeier, 2014, <doi:10.1016/j.jmp.2014.05.002>; Blurton, Kesselmeier, & Gondan, 2017, <doi:10.1016/j.jmp.2016.11.003>; Hartmann & Klauer, 2021, <doi:10.1016/j.jmp.2021.102550>) plus new approximations.

Survival rate of positive peritoneal cytology in endometrial cancer; a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background The impact of positive peritoneal cytology on survival rate of endometrial cancer patients in different stages and histopathology is still controversial. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the influence of positive peritoneal cytology (PPC) on survival rate of patients with endometrial carcinoma. Methods A systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was conducted up to November 24, 2020. The quality of included studies was evaluated by Quality in prognosis study (QUIPS) tool. Results Initially, 3014 articles were found, of which 65 met the inclusion criteria for qualitative analysis and 27 studies on 75897 patients with endometrial cancer were included in the meta-analysis. PPC was associated with a lower overall survival in endometrial cancer (HR= 2.102; 95% CI:1.629- 2.711; P< 0.001). The findings also identified PPC as an independent prognostic factor for both disease-free survival (HR= 3.052; 95% CI: 2.348-2967; P< 0.001) and cancer specific survival (HR= 3.461; 95% CI: 2.280- 5.254; P< 0.001). In addition, we meta-analyzed the studies in 21 subgroups based on staging and histopathology of the endometrial cancer which all identified PPC as a non-prognostic factor for cancer of endometrium. Conclusion PPC is an independent prognostic factor for endometrial cancer survival rate in all staging and histopathologic subgroups.
the published version. 1/48 Structural Representations do not meet

the job description challenge Abstract: Structural representations are increasingly popular in philosophy of cognitive science. A key virtue they seemingly boast is that of meeting Ramsey's job description challenge. For this reason, structural representations appear tailored to play a clear representational role within cognitive architectures. Here, however, I claim that structural representations do not meet the job description challenge. This is because even our most demanding account of their functional profile is satisfied by at least some receptors, which paradigmatically fail the job description challenge. Hence, the functional profile typically associated with structural representations does not identify representational posits. After a brief introduction, I present, in the second section of the paper, the job description challenge. I clarify why receptors fail to meet it and highlight why, as a result, they should not be considered representations. In the third section I introduce what I take to be the most demanding account of structural representations at our disposal, namely Gładziejewski's account. Provided the necessary background, I turn from exposition to criticism. In the first half of the fourth section, I equate the functional profile of structural representations and receptors. To do so, I show that some receptors boast, as a matter of fact, all the functional features associated with structural representations. Since receptors function merely as causal mediators, I conclude structural representations are mere causal mediators too. In the second half of the fourth section I make this conclusion intuitive with a toy example. I then conclude the paper, anticipating some
Quantitative (cid:1) -calculus and CTL deﬁned over constraint semirings (cid:1)

Model checking and temporal logics are boolean. The answer to the model checking question does a system satisfy a property ? is either true or false , and properties expressed in temporal logics are deﬁned over boolean propositions. While this classic approach is enough to specify and verify boolean temporal properties, it does not allow to reason about quantitative aspects of systems. Some quantitative extensions of temporal logics has been already proposed, especially in the context of probabilistic systems. They allow to answer questions like with which probability does a system satisfy a property ? We present a generalization of two well-known temporal logics: CTL and the (cid:1) -calculus. Both extensions are deﬁned over c-semirings, an algebraic structure that captures quantitative aspects like qualityofserviceorsoftconstraints.Basically,ac-semiringconsistsofadomain,anadditiveoperation andamultiplicativeoperation,whichsatisfysomeproperties.Wepresentthesemanticsoftheextended logicsovertransitionsystems,whereaformulaisinterpretedasamappingfromthesetofstatesto thedomainofthec-semiring,andshowthattheusualconnectionbetweenCTLand (cid:1) -calculus does not hold in general. In addition, we reason about the complexity of computing the logics and illustrate some applications of our framework, including boolean model checking.
Novel Methacrylate-Based Multilayer Nanofilms with Incorporated FePt-Based Nanoparticles and the Anticancer Drug 5-Fluorouracil for Skin Cancer Treatment

Despite medical advances, skin-associated disorders continue to pose a unique challenge to physicians worldwide. Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, with more than one million new cases reported each year. Currently, surgical excision is its primary treatment; however, this can be impractical or even contradictory in certain situations. An interesting potential alternative could lie in topical treatment solutions. The goal of our study was to develop novel multilayer nanofilms consisting of a combination of polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA), polyhydroxypropyl methacrylate (PHPMA), sodium deoxycholate (NaDOC) with incorporated superparamagnetic iron–platinum nanoparticles (FePt NPs), and the potent anticancer drug (5-fluorouracil), for theranostic skin cancer treatment. All multilayer systems were prepared by spin-coating and characterised by atomic force microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and contact angle measurement. The magnetic properties of the incorporated FePt NPs were evaluated using magnetisation measurement, while their size was determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Drug release performance was tested in vitro, and formulation safety was evaluated on human-skin-derived fibroblasts. Finally, the efficacy for skin cancer treatment was tested on our own basal-cell carcinoma cell line.
Attention and executive control in varsity athletes engaging in strategic and static sports

Examining non-sport-related cognitive tasks of attention and executive control in skilled athletes may provide insight into the acquisition of highly specific skills developed in experts as well as help identify successful performance in sport. Through a cross-sectional design, this study examined performance on aspects of attention and executive control among varsity athletes playing soccer (strategic sport) or track & field (static sport) using a computerized test of attention and executive control. Ninety-seven university athletes participating in soccer (n = 50) or track and field (n = 47) were included in the study. Domains of attention and executive control were examined using the Attention Network Test-Interactions (ANT-I). Mean reaction time (RT) and intra-individual variability (IIV) were compared between groups as measures of performance speed and performance stability respectively. Soccer players demonstrated overall faster RTs (p = 0.0499; ηp2 = .04) and higher response accuracy (p = .021, d = .48) on the ANT-I compared to track and field athletes. Faster RTs were observed for soccer players when presented with an alerting tone (p = .029, d = .45), valid orienting cue (p = .019, d = .49) and incongruent flanker (p = .031, d = .45). No significant group differences were observed in IIV (p = .083, d = .36). Athletes engaging in strategic sports (i.e., soccer) demonstrated faster performance under test conditions that required higher vigilance and conflict resolution. These findings suggest that engagement in strategic sports is associated with enhanced performance on non-sport-related cognitive tasks of attention and executive control.
Pivotal Shigella Vaccine Efficacy Trials—Study Design Considerations from a Shigella Vaccine Trial Design Working Group

Vaccine candidates for Shigella are approaching phase 3 clinical trials in the target population of young children living in low- and middle-income countries. Key study design decisions will need to be made to maximize the success of such trials and minimize the time to licensure and implementation. We convened an ad hoc working group to identify the key aspects of trial design that would meet the regulatory requirements to achieve the desired indication of prevention of moderate or severe shigellosis due to strains included in the vaccine. The proposed primary endpoint of pivotal Shigella vaccine trials is the efficacy of the vaccine against the first episode of acute moderate or severe diarrhea caused by the Shigella strains contained within the vaccine. Moderate or severe shigellosis could be defined by a modified Vesikari score with dysentery and molecular detection of vaccine-preventable Shigella strains. This report summarizes the rationale and current data behind these considerations, which will evolve as new data become available and after further review and consultation by global regulators and policymakers.
Comparison of delivery outcomes in low-dose and high-dose oxytocin regimens for induction of labor following cervical ripening with a balloon catheter: A retrospective observational cohort study

A variety of oxytocin regimens are used for labor induction and augmentation. Considering the increasing rates of labor induction, it is important to assess the most optimal oxytocin regimen without compromising maternal and fetal safety. The aim of this study was to compare delivery outcomes of low-dose and high-dose oxytocin induction protocols. This retrospective cohort study of 487 women comparing low-dose oxytocin protocol (n = 280) and high-dose oxytocin protocol (n = 207) in labor induction following cervical ripening by balloon catheter was performed in Helsinki University Hospital after implementation of a new oxytocin induction protocol. The study included two six-month cohorts from 2016 and 2019. Women with vital singleton pregnancies ≥37 gestational weeks, cephalic presentation, and intact amniotic membranes were included. The primary outcome was the rate of vaginal delivery. The secondary outcomes were the rates of maternal and neonatal infections, postpartum hemorrhage, umbilical artery blood pH-value, admission to neonatal intensive care, and induction-to-delivery interval. Statistical analyses were performed by using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows (Armonk, NY, USA). The rate of vaginal delivery was higher [69.9% (n = 144) vs. 47.9% (n = 134); p<0.004] and the rates of maternal and neonatal infection were lower during the new high-dose oxytocin protocol [maternal infections 13.6% (n = 28) vs. 22.1% (n = 62); p = 0.02 and neonatal infection 2.9% (n = 6) vs. 14.6% (n = 41); p<0.001, respectively]. The rates of post-partum hemorrhage, umbilical artery blood pH-value <7.05 or neonatal intensive care admissions did not differ between the cohorts. The median induction-to-delivery interval was shorter in the new protocol [32.0 h (IQR 18.5–42.7) vs. 37.9 h (IQR 27.8–52.8); p<0.001]. In conclusion, implementation of the new continuous high-dose oxytocin protocol resulted in higher rate of vaginal delivery and lower rate of maternal and neonatal infections. Our experience supports the use of high-dose continuous oxytocin induction regimen with a practice of stopping oxytocin once active labor is achieved, and a 15–18-hour maximum duration for oxytocin induction in the latent phase of labor following cervical ripening with a balloon catheter.
Neural Survival Clustering: Non-parametric mixture of neural networks for survival clustering

Survival analysis involves the modelling of the times to event. Proposed neural network approaches maximise the predictive performance of traditional survival models at the cost of their interpretability. This impairs their applicability in high stake domains such as medicine. Providing insights into the survival distributions would tackle this issue and advance the medical understanding of diseases. This paper approaches survival analysis as a mixture of neural baselines whereby different baseline cumulative hazard functions are modelled using positive and monotone neural networks. The efficiency of the solution is demonstrated on three datasets while enabling the discovery of new survival phenotypes.
Primary Care of the Person Living with HIV

Life-changing progress has been made over the past 30 years in the treatment of HIV infection. HIV has transformed from an illness that resulted in one complication after another and nearly always resulted in death to a chronic illness that for most patients is more easily managed than diabetes or heart disease. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is now simple and well-tolerated. The most important priority of HIV treatment is ensuring that people living with HIV stay on continuous, effective ART. ART, although not curative, suppresses the virus and allows the immune system to recover. Even when the CD4 count remains low, suppressive ART helps prevent opportunistic infections and other HIV related complications. (1) Suppressive ART is important not only to the individual living with HIV health but is an important public health goal since people living with HIV will not transmit HIV to their sexual partners if their viral load is undetectable. (2) A respectful, culturally appropriate patient–provider relationship is one of the most important factors in keeping people living with HIV engaged in care. (3) Persons living with HIV deserve both excellent HIV and primary care. Some communities have providers that are experts in both, but often people living with HIV receive the best care by collaboration between their primary care provider and an HIV expert. This article is written to help primary care givers who are not HIV experts provide appropriate primary care to their patients who are living with HIV and emphasizes issues that deserve additional attention in people living with HIV compared to the general population
