Коллекция Пегги Гуггенхайм
Authors: Yartseva O.A.
Published: March 2021

The article is devoted to the history of a unique collection made by famous American patron and curator Peggy Guggenheim. For several decades, she has been gathering works by European Cubists, Abstractionists and Surrealists, creating the huge collection of the 20th century art. But she made the most significant contribution to the development and popularization of modernism by organizing the «Art of this Century» gallery in New York. This gallery hosted for the first time exhibitions of artists who later became known as abstract expressionists. Their work loudly declared itself on the international art scene and won worldwide recognition.

В фокусе внимания автора статьи — история создания уникального собрания произведений искусства ХХ века, принадлежавшего известной американской меценатке и куратору Пегги Гуггенхайм. На протяжении нескольких десятилетий она коллекционировала картины европейских кубистов, абстракционистов и сюрреалистов. Но самый значительный вклад в развитие и популяризацию модернизма она внесла, организовав в Нью-Йорке галерею «Искусство этого века», в которой впервые были проведены выставки художников, позже ставших классиками абстрактного экспрессионизма США, магистрального направления, громко заявившего о себе на международной художественной сцене и завоевавшего всемирное признание.
«Мир гобелена Бурятии»: аналитический обзор выставки
Authors: Zhambaeva T.I.
Published: March 2021

The author presents the concept of an exhibition dedicated to the tapestry art of ethnic Buryatia since its inception in the region, in the 1970s to the present day. For the first time, in one exhibition were presented the works of 15 authors, performed in different materials and directions. The purpose of the exhibition project is to show the creative achievements of artists, the variety of themes and plots that reflect the specifics of the region. During the preparation for the exhibition, both theoretical and empirical research methods were used: bibliographic sources were studied, meetings, conversations with authors were held in order to obtain a more complete and holistic idea of the concept of the works and the nature of creation. Combining rather disparate materials into a single exhibition concept is currently relevant for the development of modern decorative and applied art in Buryatia in the field of soft materials. As a result, the article presents a kind of artistic space of tapestry art, filled with an individual vision, united by the specifics of expressive means in the field of hand weaving.

Автор представляет концепцию выставки, посвященной искусству гобелена этнической Бурятии — со времени его зарождения в регионе в 1970-х гг. до современности. Впервые в одной экспозиции были представлены работы пятнадцати авторов, выполненные в разных материалах и направлениях. Изложена цель выставочного проекта — показать творческие достижения художников, многообразие тем и сюжетов, отражающих специфику региона. В ходе подготовки к выставке использовались как теоретические, так и эмпирические методы исследования: изучались библиографические источники, проводились встречи, беседы с авторами для получения более полного и цельного представления о замысле произведений и характере создания. Объединение довольно разрозненных материалов в единую выставочную концепцию является сегодня актуальным для развития современного декоративно-прикладного искусства Бурятии в области мягких материалов. В статье представлено художественное пространство искусства гобелена, наполненное индивидуальным видением, объединенное спецификой выразительных средств в области ручного ткачества.

Authors: Sereda I. , Ryabchikov D. , Hrechko Ya. , Babenko Ie.
Published: March 2021

The influence of metal hydride hollow cathode on a Penning ion source operation has been carried out. The feature of investigation is hydrogen injection only due to its desorption from metal hydride under ion-stimulated processes. The regimes of optimal discharge operation in the hollow cathode mode are determined. It has been revealed that the transition to the hollow cathode mode occurs at lower voltages, the discharge works without external gas supply, and the working pressure in the cell is set at the level determined by the discharge current. The supply of a negative bias to the metal hydride hollow cathode weakly affects the features of the emission of axial particles, although it allows the increase of plasma density near the metal hydride hollow cathode.

Published: March 2021

A study of the influence of the discharge gap length and the initial gas pressure on the energy deposition into the discharge channel was done. The study was conducted at the same total discharge energy. It is experimentally shown that the connection of the voltage probe to the discharge circuit significantly affects the discharge current. The determination of the energy deposited into the spark channel is based on the results of numerical simulation of the spark channel development. Experimentally measured discharge currents at different pressures and the gap length were used as initial data for the calculation. Based on the obtained results, it is determined which of the factors (the initial pressure or the gap length) has the strongest influence on the energy input into the spark channel.

Published: March 2021

Multilayer nanostructured ZrN/ZrO2 coatings were applied to increase the operational resistance of various machinery parts by using vacuum-arc deposition in Bulat-type facility. To describe the structure formation, a new approach based on optical-mathematical method for processing metallographic images is proposed. The structure formation of the multilayer coating with an assessment of the degree of its inhomogeneity and diffusion processes between the layers is studied. For a reliable assessment, the changes in the horizontal and vertical directions of the images with the choice of optimal intervals were comparatively analyzed. It has been found that the most stable results are achieved using 20 and 25 dots (pixels).

THE INTERACTION OF A SUPERSONIC PLASMA JET CONTAINING NANOPARTICLES WITH A SUBSTRATE
Authors: Kravchenko O.Yu. , Maruschak I.S.
Published: March 2021

In the framework of a multi-fluid axisymmetric hydrodynamic model, the interaction of a supersonic plasma jet containing nanoparticles with a flat substrate is investigated using computer simulation. In particular, the fluxes of nanoparticles on the substrate are studied at plasma inlet pressure P0=1...100 Torr. The results show that a shock wave is formed near the substrate, which affects the energy of nanoparticles and their fluxes on the substrate. The width of the region along the radius, where the flow of nanoparticles onto the substrate is essential, depends on the plasma pressure in the jet. At large values of plasma pressure (P0≥75 Torr) a cloud of nanoparticles with a sharp boundary is formedon the axis of the plasma jet near the substrate. Interacting with this cloud, nanoparticles moving in the plasma jet, lose directed energy and their flow on the substrate near the axis of the jet is zero.
POTENTIAL PART OF ELECTRIC FIELD OF ICP COIL
Authors: Azarenkov N.A. , Gapon A.V.
Published: March 2021

ICP devices are widespread in modern technology, so the capacitive coupling in ICP is well known. It does not make a sufficient impact to the power deposition in plasma, and mostly it assumed to be a harmful effect [1]. Fortunately, making use of Faraday shield allows one to avoid a detail investigation of the capacitive coupling. However, in some cases it would be useful to account both coupling types of the inductor with a plasma [2]. There are many ways for analytical and numerical simulation of the inductors and their coupling with a plasma. In the most simulating tools, the problem comes to FEM PDE model, which includes as minima the body of an inductor wire and the surrounding space. In the paper, we use some other approach, based on integral solutions for electrodynamics potentials. Electric fields of some inductors are studied in the framework of the approach.

The Effect of Maternal-Pup Separation on Maternal Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure in Spra-gue Dawley Rats
Authors: EKİCİ Mehmet
Published: March 2021

This study investigates changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in Sprague Dawley rat dams exposed to postpartum stress. Eighteen pregnant dams were randomly divided into three groups: Control (C, n = 6, no-stress), Maternal Separation (MS, n = 6), and Brief Maternal Separation (BMS, n = 6). The dams and pups in group C were housed under standard conditions in their cages at the animal facility during the postpartum period. From postpartum day 2 to day 14, the dams and pups in group MS and BMS were separated from each other every day for 3-h and 15-min, respectively. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the dams were recorded on postpartum days 2, 8, and 14 by tail-cuff method. The findings show that the 3-h dam-pup separation caused high systolic blood pressure in dams, compared to the control dams at all time points that blood pressure was recorded (p<0.001). However, this effect is significant only on postpartum days 2 (p<0.01) and 8 (p<0.001) when compared to the dams that were subjected to 15-min separation. In addition, the 3-h and 15-min dam-pup separations lead to high diastolic blood pressure when compared to the controls throughout the experiment. The 3-h separation caused high diastolic blood pressure only on day 2, when compared to the dams that were subjected to the 15-min pup separation (p<0.01). The obtained data indicate that postpartum dam-pup separation may lead to an increase in blood pressure in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Published: March 2021

This research examines the cointegration of macroeconomic variables and the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index toward IHSG. The Sampling data used is non probability sampling techniques by using historical monthly data from January 2015 to December 2019. The method used in this study are Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test for stationarity test, Johansen Test for Cointegration, and Error Correction Model for short-term relationships with eviews 10. The findings showed that DJIA Index not cointegrated with IHSG because investors are more responsive to global market and domestic sentiment. Exchange rates not cointegrated with the IHSG because exchange rate and IHSG movements do not always had a negative relationship. Interest rates are not cointegrated with IHSG because most of the sectors in the IDX affected by external sentiment than interest rates. Meanwhile, inflation have a cointegration relationship but does not have a short-term relationship with IHSG because inflation is generally known as a continuous increase in the price of goods as a whole. Crude oil have a cointegration relationship but does not have a short-term relationship with IHDG, which implies that an increase or decrease in crude oil in the short term can not affect IHSG.
AUTODETECTION ALGORITHM OF PPG AND ECG PEAKS BASED ON 2 MOVING WINDOWS
Authors: Mansoor Mohammed Sheikh
Published: March 2021

In this study, an algorithm autodetection of PPG (Photoplethysmography) and ECG in an electrocardiogram is proposed. Many researches have been done for developing a new approach in this field, using different algorithms ranging from filtering and threshold methods, through wavelet methods, to neural networks, and others, each of which has different effectiveness and weaknesses. Although their performance in general good, but, the main weakness is that they are threshold dependent. Threshold-free detection is another proposed algorithm, where RR moving interval is calculated based on normal maximum and minimum heart rate (HR). This has the advantage of ensuring that every R-peak is contained between the edges of the moving interval. Thus, the effectiveness of this algorithm is that it is threshold independent, but its weaknesses are in the change in the RR interval according to the change in the heart rate frequency, which leads to missing some peaks. The effectiveness of the new algorithm autodetection peak is developed to overcome the weaknesses of threshold dependent and threshold independent algorithms. It based on a threshold-free algorithm with double moving windows. The complete algorithm is implemented using MATLAB 7.4. The method is validated using 18 recorded signals. The average sensitivity and average positive predictivity of PPG are 99.5% and 99.6% and of ECG are 99.3% and 99.4% respectively.

Tanda karakteristik kardiomiopati peripatum adalah berkurangnya fraksi ejeksi ventrikel kiri dan berhubungan dengan gagal jantung kongesti, yang dapat meningkatkan resiko aritmia, tromboemboli dan henti jantung mendadak. Pengertian mendalam tentang fisiologi selama kehamilan dan patofisiologi penyakit jantung pada ibu sangat penting untuk dokter anestesi, dokter kandungan dan dokter jantung yang terlibat pada penanganan pasien PPCM selama periode kehamilan dan persalinan (perawatan peripartum). Penatalaksanaan kardiomiopati peripartum sebagian besar bersifat suportif. Tujuan terapi pada pasien dengan kardiomiopati peripartum adalah optimalisasi hemodinamik, mengoptimalkan preload, menurunkan afterload dan meningkatkan kontraktilitas. Keputusan jenis persalinan pasien dengan kardiomiopati peripartum harus dibuat berdasarkan indikasi obstetri. Pilihan tehnik anestesi yang akan digunakan disesuaikan dengan kondisi klinis ibu pada saat itu dengan memperhatikan efek obat terhadap ibu maupun janin. Baik tehnik anestesi umum maupun tehnik anestesi regional dapat digunakan untuk parturien dengan kardiomiopati peripartum.

Pathophysiology and Management of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a number of cause of dilated cardiomyopathy which occured during the end third trimester of pregnancy until the fifth months of birth. The characteristic sign of peripartum cardiomyopathy is reduced the ejection fraction of left ventricle and associated to congestive heart failure, increased risk of arrhythmia, thromboemboli and sudden cardiac arrest. A comprehensive understanding of the physiology of pregnancy and pathophysiology of maternal cardiac disease is importance for anesthesiologist, gynecologists and cardiologists involved in peripartum care in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy during the pregnancy and childbirth periods. Management of peripartum cardiomyopathy is mostly supportive therapy. The goal of therapy in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy is hemodynamic optimization, such as maintaining preload, reducing afterload and improving contractility. Decision of the mode of delivery of patient with peripartum cardiomyopathy hould be based on obstetric indication. The choice of anesthesia technique should consider the current clinical condition of parturient and the effect of the drug for the mother and fetus. Both general anesthesia and regional anesthesia techniques can be an option for parturients with peripartum cardiomyopathy.

Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithms for Photovoltaic System
Authors: Gobikha M. , Akila S. , Latha M. , Dhanlakshmi R. , Bhavani Sankar A.
Published: March 2021

This paper helps us analyse three different MPPT techniques like Perturb and Observe, Incremental Conductance and Artificial Neural Network. As the output characteristic depends on temperature and irradiance, therefore the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is not always constant. Hence it is necessary to ensure that the PV panel is operating at its maximum power point. There are many different MPPT techniques but, the confusion lies in selecting which MPPT technique is best as every algorithm has its own merit and demerit. In order to extract maximum power from PV arrangement, Artificial Neural Network algorithm is proposed. Algorithms are implemented using the Boost converter. Results of simulations are presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of Artificial Neural Network algorithm, when compared to Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (INC). To simulate the proposed system MATLAB/ SIMULINK power system tool box is used.

Data Journalism, Digital Universalism and Innovation in the Periphery
Authors: Chan Anita Say
Published: March 2021

The “myth of digital universalism” manifests not only in the means by
which it keeps public narratives and imaginations fixed exclusively
around so-called “centres” of innovation, but in the means by which it
simultaneously discourages attention to digital dynamics beyond such
centres—a dynamic conjuring colonial relations to data and the periphery
that reporters and scholars of global digital cultures alike must be wary
of reproducing.

How to Be a Catholic Copernican in the Spanish Netherlands
Authors: Vanden Broecke Steven
Published: March 2021

The notion of Catholic Copernicanism in the aftermath of the Galileo affair
remains something of an apparent oxymoron. It has been suggested that after
the Galileo affair of 1633, cosmological truth went underground in the Catholic
world for many decades, thus creating an asymmetry in the role played
by Catholic and Protestant Europe in the so-called Scientific Revolution.
Focusing on the case of the Spanish Netherlands, this chapter unearths a
considerably different situation, where Roman directives were appropriated
under local criteria for adequate cosmological truth-telling, and where the
notion of public Catholic Copernicanism continued to be a tangible reality.
The Technological Sublime: Metropolis (1927)
Authors: Loew Katharina
Published: March 2021

Metropolis displays a deeply conflicting attitude toward industrial
modernity. Conceived and marketed as a marvel of film technology, the
film pursued the techno-romantic project of transcending material reality
through technological means. What is more, the goal was to capture the
unfathomability of technology itself. Metropolis simultaneously portrays
technology as an agent of tyranny and dehumanization and flaunts it
as spectacle. Special effects facilitate encounters with overpowering
technological environments and omnipotent machines, which give rise to
sentiments that are best described in terms of a “technological sublime.”
The sublime characterizes experiences that go beyond the earthly and
finite, to attain a spiritual dimension. In attributing transcendent qualities
to mechanical objects, the technological sublime embodies the technoromantic
paradigm.
Conclusion: Techno-Romantic Cinema from the Silent to the Digital Era
Authors: Loew Katharina
Published: March 2021

Techno-romantic thought, which construes machine technology as a
means to reach beyond material reality, is still with us today. It is reflected
in the vogue of speculative fiction in contemporary moving image media,
which has been made possible by radical advances in digital visual effects.
Computer-generated imagery has brought into reach the fully malleable
photograph, a dream that epitomizes a major triumph of the human mind
over outside reality and thus an essentially techno-romantic fantasy. The
same ambition already animated German silent filmmakers, who saw
special effects as a way to shape mechanically produced images. Their
use of trick technology for conveying thoughts and emotions gives rise to
a new research area: special/visual effects as artistic tools.
“American vs. English” : US American and British English Speakers’ Attitudes toward Phonological and Lexical Features in Accent Tag Videos
Authors: Szitó Judit
Published: March 2021

The study examined two YouTube Accent Tag videos to reveal how pairs of British and American speakers reacted to each other’s and their own varieties as they pronounced words from a list and answered several questions by offering their lexical choices. Accent Tag videos represent a novel way for lay people to be involved in science by offering their language varieties and opinions, accumulating data in unprecedented numbers in the history of dialectology and also creating a rich source for various types of linguistic inquiry. The results showed a marked difference between the manners in which standard-accented British and American speakers evaluated both their own and their interlocutor’s speech. The two RP-accented British speakers were more prone to criticise the two mainstream accented American (General American) speakers’ speech but did not receive criticisms from their interlocutors. Further, neither of the British speakers disparaged their own speech, while one American speaker did. The study also identified some disfavoured features of American English, mainly phonetic differences in comparison with RP, including the lower unrounded LOT-vowel [ɑ], T-flapping, and the flat BATH-vowel [ᴂ] (Wells 1982). The findings of these case studies support the hypothesis that in the game of “American vs English”, RP-accented British English is generally rated higher than mainstream American (or GA) in both groups of speakers.

Published: March 2021

Kajian ini adalah tinjauan terhadap aspek pengetahuan dan kesedaran menunaikan kewajiban berzakat di kalangan suku kaum Bajau-Sama di kawasan Pantai Barat, negeri Sabah. Empat Kawasan yang terlibat ialah Kota Belud, Tuaran, Kota Kinabalu dan papar melibatkan 324 responden. Kajian ini menggunakan borang soal selidik sebagai instrumen kutipan data primer manakala bagi sumber sekunder data yang diperolehi adalah melalui rujukan ke perpustakaan dengan melihat hasil kajian-kajian lepas mengenai zakat dari segenap aspek. Hukum-hukum mengenai zakat dan kepentingannya adalah diambil berdasarkan kepada sumber utama iaitu Al-Quran dan As-Sunnah. Memandangkan kajian ini merupakan tinjauan awal, maka analisa deskriptif dilaksanakan dalam membincangkan hasil dapatan kajian ini bagi memberikan justifikasi terhadap tanggapan bahawa kutipan zakat di negeri Sabah adalah kurang memuaskan. Dapatan tinjauan mendapati secara keseluruhannya tahap pemahaman responden tentang zakat secara adalah rendah, manakala pemahaman tentang zakat fitrah pula adalah pada tahap yang tinggi. Isu utama dalam kajian ini mendapati responden tidak pasti jenis zakat yang perlu ditunaikan. Manakala sebahagian besar tidak memahami peranan institusi yang bertanggungjawab tentang zakat seperti Pusat Zakat Sabah dan Baitul Mal.
Image Caption Generation Model Based on Object Detector
Authors: Poghosyan Aghasi , Sarukhanyan Hakob
Published: March 2021

Automated semantic information extraction from the image is a difficult task. There are works, which can extract image caption or object names and their coordinates. This work presents object detection and automated caption generation implemented via a single model. We have built an image caption generation model on top of object detection model. We have added extra layers on object detector to increase caption generator performance. We have developed a single model that can detect objects, localize them and generate image caption via natural language.
A Sharp Improvement of a Theorem of Bauer and Schmeichel
Authors: Nikoghosyan Zhora
Published: March 2021

Let G be a graph on n vertices with minimum degree δ. The earliest nontrivial lower bound for the circumference c (the length of a longest cycle in G) was established in 1952 due to Dirac in terms of n and δ: (i) if G is a 2-connected graph, then c ≥ min{n, 2δ}. The bound in Theorem (i) is sharp. In 1986, Bauer and Schmeichel gave a version of this classical result for 1-tough graphs: (ii) if G is a 1-tough graph, then c ≥ min{n, 2δ + 2}. In this paper we present an improvement of (ii), which is sharp for each n: (iii) if G is a 1-tough graph, then c ≥ min{n, 2δ + 2} when n ≡ 1(mod 3); c ≥ min{n, 2δ + 3} when n ≡ 2(mod 3) or n ≡ 1(mod 4); and c ≥ min{n, 2δ + 4} otherwise.
Feedback Driven Grammar-Based Fuzzing
Authors: Asryan Seryozha
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we present a method for grammar-based fuzzing, which improves its penetration power. It is based on input data generation using a fuzzer feedback. Several other methods are prone to create an initial set of acceptable test cases before the actual fuzzing process, and hence are unable to use the runtime information to increase the generated input’s quality. The proposed method uses the coverage information gathered for each input sample and guides grammar-based input generation. This method uses more than 120 BNF (Backus-Naur Form) grammar rules described in ANTLR (Another Tool for Language Recognition) platform. Experimental results show that our method - feedback driven random test generation, has higher code coverage capabilities compared with the existing methods.
Tartışılan Bir Ravi: İbn Lehî'a
Authors: KARAHAN Abdullah , SHABA Tahir
Published: March 2021

Abdullah b. Lehîʿa (ö. 174/791) etbâʿu’t-tâbiîn nesli önemli âlimlerindendir. Mısır diyarının muhaddisi, fakihi ve kadısı olarak şöhret salan İbn Lehîʿa, hayatının erken dönemlerin-den itibaren ilme, özellikle de hadis ve fıkha ilgi duymuş, daha sonra ilmî seviyesi, hadis bilgisi, müellefatının fazlalığı ve şeyhlerinin çokluğu ile bölgenin en meşhur isimleri ara-sında yer almayı başarmıştır. Birçok âlim tarafından “asrın âlimi ve muhaddisi”, “ilmin inceliklerini kavrayan”, ilim konusunda “Mısır’ın liderlerinden biri” ve “ilim denizlerinden bir deniz” olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Ayrıca Süfyân es-Sevrî, İmâm Mâlik ve Ahmed b. Han-bel gibi hadis ilminde otorite olan şahısların yanı sıra onu çok iyi tanıyan Ahmed b. Sâlih ve Abdullah b. Vehb gibi ilmî açıdan sözlerine itibar edilebilecek kişiler onu öven ifadeler kullanmıştır. Fakat Mısır’daki ilmî konumuna ve hakkındaki övgülere rağmen İbn Lehîʿa, hadiste zayıf bulunmuş, rivayetlerinin sağlamlığını zedeleyen farklı açılardan cerhlere maruz kalmıştır. Sebebi açıklanmayan cerhleri bir yana bırakacak olursak İbn Lehîʿa’nın “teşeyyuʿ, tedlîs, kitaplarının yanması, hafıza zayıflığı, iḫtilâṭ ve rivayette gevşeklik” gibi beş farklı hususta tenkit edildiği anlaşılmaktadır. Rivayet ehliyetini zedeleyen bu tür kusurlar-dan dolayı İbn Lehîʿa’nın rivayetleri hüccet kabul edilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada, âlimlerin İbn Lehîʿa’ya yönelttikleri leh ve aleyhteki açıklamalara dayanarak, onun hadis rivayetine ehliyeti tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
The Need of Performing an Energy Audit in a Metallurgical Industry: A Case Study of The Ajaokuta Foundry Shop
Authors: Cyril Ocheri , Onakemu Oyibo Alfred
Published: March 2021

The research work focuses on the need to perform an energy audit in a metallurgical industry concerning the operations of the Foundry Shop of the Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited. Some basic components for performing the energy audits were discussed. The foundry processes and operations are based on the production of components for other basic industries where their components are used for manufacturing processes like the quarry industries, battery industries, manufacturing, and other process industries. To produce the desired components that the vessel used for the production processes like the Electric Arc Furnaces, the Induction furnace, the crucible furnace, and centrifugal furnaces must be utilized for the effective and optimal production processes tHrough constant monitoring and sustenance of the energy used during the production process. To achieve these production processes, there is always a need to perform energy audits of the facilities used. One method is to design methods of monitoring the power consumed per heat cycle, the duration taken for the production cycle to be completed, and cost expenditure. The need of performing research work was due to the anomalies observed during the melting processes of the two furnaces, the six-tonne Electric Arc Furnace and the One-tonne induction furnace. It was observed that the melting cycle of 2½ to 3 hours was not maintained rather more time, more energy, and more money are wasted on every melting process. To put these situations to check the production processes for the two furnaces were monitored from 5/10/ 2006 to 21/11/2007 for the Six tonnes capacity Electric Arc Furnace and from 03/06/2005 to 01/08/2007 respectively. The data generated were used for the analytical processes of the energy audits. Methods of presenting energy reports and energy action plans were brought to the fore. The performance of the energy audits indicated that much energy was consumed, more time was taken for completing a melting cycle as against the standard while a lot of money is being wasted whenever production processes take place.
Notes: The Possibility of Mass Shift into The Past
Authors: Maccini Anthony
Published: March 2021

This paper considers the work of two scientists, Darko Bajlo who first detected advanced waves in a set of experiments on 3rd December 2016 to 5th January 2017 and Talaaki Musha experiments on 1st February until 1st March in 1996, who got weight reduction of a capacitor by feeding into it an electromagnetic field. From both their work I see the possibility of an experiment of combining both experiments to send advanced waves into a capacitor to see if the mass shift of the capacitor is shifted into the past.
