Prediction of NOx emission of a power plant boiler based on adaptive simplified T-S model
Authors: Zhao Wenjie , Guo Baohui , Chu Fuchang , Zhai Yongjie
Published: February 2019

The combustion process of power plant boiler often has strong nonlinearity,
uncertainty and time-varying nature. Offline models are often difficult to
predict the emission of NOx accurately. In this paper, online identification
method based on simplified T-S model for prediction of NOx emission is
proposed. Firstly, the online subtractive clustering algorithm is used to
determine the number of clusters and the clustering center adaptively. After
obtaining the parameters, the recursive least squares algorithm is used to
identify the parameters of each local model. Finally, the Mackey-Glass
chaotic time series and field data of NOx emission of a power plant boiler
are predicted by the above algorithm. The results show the effectiveness of
the algorithm.
Interval-valued fuzzy cognitive maps with genetic learning for predicting corporate financial distress
Authors: Hajek Petr , Prochazka Ondrej
Published: February 2019

Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) integrate neural networks and fuzzy logic to
model complex nonlinear problems through causal reasoning. Interval-valued
FCMs (IVFCMs) have recently been proposed to model additional uncertainty in
decision-making tasks with complex causal relationships. In traditional
FCMs, optimization algorithms are used to learn the strengths of the
relationships from the data. Here, we propose a novel IVFCM with real-coded
genetic learning. We demonstrate that the proposed method is effective for
predicting corporate financial distress based on causally connected
financial concepts. Specifically, we show that this method outperforms FCMs,
fuzzy grey cognitive maps and adaptive neuro-fuzzy systems in terms of root
mean squared error.

Published: February 2019

With the rapid development of Internet and Big data applications, massive
time and space data need to be processed. In order to manage space and time
data, the key point is to build a correct data model. There are a lot of
fuzzy temporal and spatial information in the real world, and XML has been a
useful technology for dealing with various information in the context of
Web. In this paper, we first study the fuzzy spatio-temporal data tree by
extending the XML Schema and then propose a fuzzy spatio-temporal data model
based on XML. Finally, we use the meteorological data to illustrate the
validity and usability of the model.

Authors: Li Zhanjiang , Hou Na , Su Jinmei , Liu Yuchun
Published: February 2019

This paper selects credit data of 1688 micro enterprises in a certain
commercial bank in China from 2013 to 2016 as empirical research objects. We
use the combination method of t test and correlation analysis to construct
credit rating indicator system, then use entropy weight method and fuzzy
integration to construct credit evaluation model, and lastly divide credit
rating of micro enterprises. The empirical results indicate three main
points. Firstly, final constructed indicator system can significantly
discriminate credit state and avoid information overlapping, and curve ROC
proves credit rating indicator system is effective. Secondly, we use entropy
weight method to weight indicators objectively, and evaluate credit state
comprehensively based on fuzzy integration model. At last, credit rating of
micro enterprises proves that upper rating has minor default enterprises,
and overall micro enterprises? credit state is basically on average credit
level.
Hesitant fuzzy linguistic two-sided matching decision making
Authors: Yue Qi , Yu Bingwen , Peng Yongshan , Zhang Lei , Hong Yu
Published: February 2019

This paper combines the theory of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets
(HFLTSs) with two-sided matching decision making (TSMDM). The related
definitions of HFLTSs and two-sided matchings (TSMs) are introduced. Then,
the problem of TSMDM with HFLTSs is presented. For solving this problem, a model
of TSMDM with HFLTSs is developed. The AHP method is used to determine the
important degrees of agents of each side. On this base, the model of TSMDM
can be changed into a double-goal model with HFLTSs. Then, the double-goal
model with HFLTSs is changed into the double-goal model with scores through
using the proposed score function. Furthermore, the double-goal model can be
changed into a single-goal model by using the linear weighting technique once
again. The scheme of TSM can be obtained through solving the single-goal
model. At last, an example with sensitive analysis is provided for the
illustration of the presented approach of TSM.

Published: February 2019

In order to more reasonable analyze the dynamic reliability of aero-engine
blade with coupling failure mode. A fuzzy intelligent multiple extremum
response surface method (FIMERSM) was proposed. Considering the coupling
effect of temperature load and centrifugal load, the maximum stress point,
the maximum strain point and the minimum life point on blade were found by
deterministic analysis. Then, the density of blade, rotor speed, elastic
modulus, blade-tip temperature, blade-root temperature, fatigue strength
coefficient, fatigue strength exponent, fatigue ductility coefficient,
fatigue ductility exponent, blade width, blade thickness, blade torsion
angle, and blade height as input random variables. By using Latin hypercube
sampling technique, the sample values of the input random variables were
acquired and finite element basic equation was calculated for each
samples which obtained the corresponding dynamic output response of their
stress, strain, and low cycle fatigue life within the analysis time domain.
By taking the entire maximum values of the dynamic output response in the
analysis time domain as new output response, the fuzzy intelligent multiple
extremum response surface function (FIMERSF) was established. Finally, the
dynamic reliability of the blade structure were obtained by using the Monte
Carlo method (MCM) large amount linkage sampling of the input random
variables and take it into the FIMERSF to calculate the output response. The
results imply that the comprehensive reliability of blade is 99.46%. Through
the comparison of MCM, Multiple extremum response surface method (MERSM) and
FIMERSM, the computational results show that the FIMERSM has high
computational precision and computational efficiency.
The study of the Middle East in the Journal International Problems between 1950 and 1990
Authors: Jankovic Slobodan
Published: February 2019

The paper analyses articles which deal with the Middle East politics,
published in International Problems - a scientific journal of the Institute
of International Politics and Economics, Belgrade. The author employs the
method of content analysis to examine 12 research articles. The analysed
articles are classified chronologically, by periods before and after 1956
when socialist Yugoslavia started the implementation of foreign policy based
on the Non-Alignment principles (and eventually became one of the founding
members of the Movement). That year also coincides more or less with the end
of the Balkan Pact. The author particularly analyses ideological stances and
tones used in texts, comparing them with the foreign policy of official
Belgrade vis-a-vis Moscow and Washington. The author concludes that after the
1950s the revolutionary fervour was lost and the use of the Marxist framework
in the analysis of the reality of international relations in the Middle East
declined significantly.
Transparency Regulation and Stock Price Informativeness: Evidence from the European Union's Transparency Directive
Authors: Watanabe Olena V. , Imhof Michael J , Tartaroglu Semih
Published: February 2019

We examine changes in stock price informativeness following the European Union's Transparency Directive (TPD). The TPD, implemented by country between 2007 and 2009, enhanced corporate transparency through mandating regular firm financial disclosures and facilitating the dissemination of financial reports. Using stock return synchronicity as a proxy for stock price informativeness, we find that price informativeness improved following implementation of the TPD. This improvement was more pronounced in countries with strong regulatory environments than those with weak regulatory environments. We additionally examine a later amendment to the TPD that eliminated the requirement of quarterly financial disclosures and document an increase in stock return synchronicity following the amendment. Our findings support prior research suggesting that transparency regulations improve financial information.

Authors: Coşkun İpek , Kaya Burçak
Published: February 2019

Objectives:

To examine the relationship between sagittal facial pattern and dehiscence/fenestration presence in conjunction with buccolingual tooth inclination by using cone beam computed tomography.

Materials and Methods:

The study was carried out on the cone beam computed tomography scans of the following three groups of patients (n = 20 in each group): Class I, Class II, Class III. Buccolingual tooth inclination, buccal dehiscence/fenestration presence, and lingual dehiscence/fenestration presence were evaluated on each tooth. Analysis of variance, Kruskall-Wallis H, Scheffe, and chi-square tests were used for statistical comparisons.

Results:

Differences (P < .05) were observed between the groups for inclination of upper incisors and all lower teeth except for second molars. Dehiscence prevalence in the upper buccal and posterior buccal regions was higher (P < .05) in the Class I group when compared with the other groups. Lower buccal and anterior buccal regions showed higher (P = .0001) dehiscence prevalence in all groups. No difference was observed in fenestration prevalence between the groups. The upper buccal and anterior buccal regions showed higher (P = .0001) fenestration prevalence in all groups.

Conclusions:

Orthodontists must consider concealed alveolar defects in treatment planning to avoid gingival recession or tooth mobility.

In recent years there has been an increase in interest in the use of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) in biology and medicine. In particular, QDs can be a perspective nanoscale object for theranostics, in which due to the specific accumulation of drug-loaded QDs in the pathological focus, its simultaneous visualization and targeted therapeutic influence occur. One of the serious limitations of the use of QDs in medicine is their potential toxicity, especially when the nanocrystal material contains elements such as cadmium or plumbum. Therefore, it is promising to develop labels based on QDs of relatively less toxic semiconductors of group I-III-VI, such as CuInS2 and AgInS2. In this study, biodistribution and biocompatibility of QDs based on the AgInS2 compound with a ZnS shell (ZAIS) are considered. In the study of biodistribution, the accumulation of QDs in organs such as liver, lungs, heart and kidneys was revealed. It was shown that QDs in the dose range from 2 • 10–7 to 4 • 10–6 M/L at intravenous administration in rats does not have a significant effect on body mass dynamics and basic hematological parameters for 30 days. Thus, ZAIS QDs can be used to visualize tissues and organs in various pathological processes, and immobilization of the drugs on their surface will allow to approach their application for theranostics.

Introduction

The association between health outcomes and socioeconomic status (SES) has been widely documented, and mortality due to unintentional injuries continues to rank among the leading causes of death among British Columbians. This paper quantified the SES-related disparities in the mortality burden of three British Columbia’s provincial injury prevention priority areas: falls among seniors, transport injury, and youth suicide.

Methods

Mortality data (2009 to 2013) from Vital Statistics and dissemination area or local health area level socioeconomic data from CensusPlus 2011 were linked to examine age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) and disparities in ASMRs of unintentional injuries and subtypes including falls among seniors (aged 65+) and transport-related injuries as well as the intentional injury type of youth suicide (aged 15 to 24). Disparities by sex and geography were examined, and relative and absolute disparities were calculated between the least and most privileged areas based on income, education, employment, material deprivation, and social deprivation quintiles.

Results

Our study highlighted significant sex differences in the mortality burden of falls among seniors, transport injury, and youth suicide with males experiencing significantly higher mortality rates. Notable geographic variations in overall unintentional injury ASMR were also observed across the province. In general, people living in areas with lower income and higher levels of material deprivation had increasingly higher mortality rates compared to their counterparts living in more privileged areas.

Conclusion

The significant differences in unintentional and intentional injury-related mortality outcomes between the sexes and by SES present opportunities for targeted prevention strategies that address the disparities.

PENGARUH BRAND COMMUNITY INTEGRATION DAN KEPUASAN PADA LOYALITAS
Authors: Setyono Hendro
Published: February 2019

The main currents of thought that satisfaction becomes an important variable of customer loyalty need to be expanded and developed. Maintain customer loyalty by keeping only the satisfaction, according to some researchers is not enough. Marketers need to put consumers in a "complex web of connections" to generate loyalty. This complex network of relationships is called the "brand community integration." This research examines the influence of brand community integration and satisfaction on loyalty research conducted at two service centers which include a cafe and fitness center. Sampling using quotas are taken at each service center with 250 respondents. Respondents in each service are grouped into two groups of experienced and inexperienced groups. Data analysis conducted separately between the two services using structural equation modeling analysis (SEM) for data analysis shows that satisfaction at the cafe does not become a mediator between brand community integration and loyalty to the group which lacks of experience. On the other hand, the analysis of sample data in the fitness center shows that satisfaction becomes a mediator between brand community integration and loyalty to the group which lacks of experience.

A philosophical analysis of the Russian youth life strategies
Authors:   North Caucasus Federal University, Bekurina Yulia Sergeevna
Published: February 2019

The research presents a philosophical analysis of classifications of life strategies determining the priorities of the Russian youth in the period until 2010. The author investigates the relevant literature and scientific works grouped according to the typological characteristics considered in them. The choice of a certain type of youth life strategy is explained by a number of factors. Therefore, the analysis of classification is directly related to the decisions of individuals and their actions. Youth problems have always been of great interest to scientists because young people, undergoing the self-determination, represent a special group in the structure of society. The research findings allow one to deepen the theoretical knowledge about the ways of classifying modern Russian youth life strategies and the prerequisites for their development. They indicate the possible measures to improve career guidance techniques and can be recommended for universities and youth committees.

West Java is rich in essential oil-producing plants, essential oils known to be responsible for some pharmacological activities among its antioxidant and antimicrobial. This research aims to know antimicrobial, antioxidant activity and identify the components of a compound essential oil of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.). Components chemistry identified with GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass pectrometer). Antioxidant activity measured by using the DPPH method (2 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) at 516 λ wavelength absorbance. Antimicrobial activity determined Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (MBC) using microdilution method. The result of GC-MS showed the highest component on nutmeg containing 22.22% myristicin. The antioxidant test showed nutmeg had IC50 at 3,16%, essential oil showed antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of essential oils range from 0.313% to 10%. The content of essential oils of nutmeg plants that grow in the area of West Java Garut can be used to overcome the problems of antioxidants and antimicrobial.Key words: Antioxidant, Antibacterial, Pala (Myristica fragrans Houtt), Chemical Composition.

Bligo fruit (Benincasa hispida Thunb) is one of medicinal plants that used to cure typhoid fever which caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. The aim of this research is to find ont the effect of ethanol concentration as a solvent from Bligo fruit (Benincasa hispida Thunb) extracts as an antibacterial, especially to Salmonella typhi. This simplicia was being extracted with 96% ethanol, 70% ethanol, and 50% ethanol by using maceration method for 3x24 hours. The antibacterial activity test was done by diffusion of agar method to the MHA medium by obserring the resistor zone which formed from 96% ethanol, 70% ethanol and 50% ethanol. The diametres that have been obtained are 6,815 mm for 96% ethanol, 25,223 mm for 70% ethanol while for 50% ethanol there is no resisten zone can be seen. From the result canbe conclude that the best concentration of ethanol that has a great potencial as resistor to Salmonella typhi bacteria is the Bligo fruit (Benincasa hispida Thunb) extracts of 70% ethanol.Key words: Bligo fruit (Benincasa hispida Thunb), Antibacterial, Salmonella typhi.
Imágenes de los dioses en Cicerón
Authors: Beltrão Claudia
Published: February 2019

En De natura deorum, Cicerón presenta una crítica contundente a los límites y contradicciones de la teología antropomórfica epicúrea. Dirigiéndose especialmente a Epicuro en lo que se refiere al tema del deus effigies hominis et imago (Nat. D. I.103), Cicerón solicita a los epicúreos una definición más rigurosa de las relaciones entre la imagen de culto (una forma histórica de la figuración de lo divino) y los simulacra/imagines emanados directamente de los cuerpos de los dioses, denotando la insuficiencia del abordaje epicúreo sobre las imágenes divinas para fundamentar la pietas romana.

Modelando a Cupido: una aproximación mitográfica a la Epistre au dieu d’Amours de Christine de Pizan
Authors: Luppi Guillermo
Published: February 2019

A lo largo de la edad media, Cupido fue objeto de diversas modificaciones específicamente en lo que respecta a su ethos y a su aspecto. En Francia, especialmente a partir del siglo XII, el dieu d’amours devino en un significativo objeto literario para reflexionar acerca del amor humano. Un análisis de la Epistre au dieu d’Amours de Christine de Pizan, sustentado por la mitografía medieval de Cupido, y en especial con su par del Roman de la Rose, podrá arrojar luz sobre el sentido de estas modificaciones y sobre el status de la mitología hacia fines de la Edad Media.

La investigación aborda el caso del Fondo de Financiamiento Solidario (FFS, componente “productivo”) de la Municipalidad de San Martín (Provincia de Buenos Aires). Específicamente, se propone: a) analizar las modalidades de asociativismo explícitas e implícitas en el FFS, y b) describir las formas de intervención estatal ligadas al financiamiento y capacitación. La investigación se desarrolla a partir de un enfoque de triangulación metodológica que recurre a fuentes de información primarias y secundarias. En el contexto de impulso al asociativismo desde dicha Municipalidad, puede repensarse las tensiones que atraviesan a los funcionarios locales en la Argentina de la reemergencia neoliberal, aspecto que invita a considerar las distancias entre los diseños de herramientas ligados con enfoques de ESS y las posibilidades efectivas de posicionamiento de estos enfoques en un contexto de retracción económica y redistribución regresiva del ingreso.
Desequilibrios territoriales en el área de expansión urbana
Authors: Cardoso María Mercedes
Published: February 2019

Las nuevas formas de expansión urbana generan una transformación en la estructura morfológica. Como resultado, la producción de nuevos territorios está signado por la fragmentación socio-espacial, la acentuación de la vulnerabilidad de la población y la segregación. El objetivo general es develar los profundos desequilibrios territoriales del sistema rururbano norte de la ciudad de Santa Fe a través del diseño y aplicación de un indicador sintético de vulnerabilidad socio-ambiental y de la identificación de patrones morfológicos contrastantes. Con un diseño metodológico mixto, basado, por un lado, en el análisis multivariado simple y análisis espacial empleando herramientas de SIG, y por el otro, en la interpretación de imágenes satelitales, entrevistas a informantes claves y otros instrumentos, se obtuvo una aproximación a las transformaciones económicas, sociales y de condiciones de vida.
What factors influence colonization of lichens, liverworts, mosses and vascular plants on snags?

The dead standing trees i.e. snags are known as habitat for epiphytic and epixylic species including first of all lichens and bryophytes. The vascular plants are much rarer on this type of coarse woody debris (CWD). The eighty snags (CWD elements higher than 1.5 m) of Norway spruce Picea abies and beech Fagus sylvatica in the Karkonosze Mts. were examined for the presence of lichens, liverworts, mosses and vascular plants. The height of snags, their decomposition stage, cover of bark, diameter at breast height (DBH) as well as site conditions (elevation, slope and aspect, presence in forest community) were measured and noted. The percent cover of plants and lichens were estimated on each snag. Totally 99 taxa were recorded. There lichen species were dominant (44), followed by mosses (34), liverworts (13) and there were only 8 vascular plants. The total species richness varied from 1 to 22 taxa. The species composition growing on snags was subjected to canonical correspondence analysis and statistical analyses. They revealed that the species identity of snag is one of the most important factors influencing species composition. The number of species is positively correlated with DBH whereas decomposition stage, presence of bark, snag height are not significant factors. The species richness increases also with altitude what is connected with higher abundance of spruce snags. The occurrence of snags in this area is mainly associated with forest management practices in the past. Despite of some observed patterns in colonization of snags they are important habitat especially for lichens.
Genesis of research on burn injury (analysis of domestic articles in 2005–2017)
Authors: Evdokimov V. I. , Kourov A. S.
Published: February 2019

Relevance.According to the Federal Statistics Service (Rosstat), (315.8 ± 8.5) thousand thermal and chemical burns or (220.6 ± 6.5) burns per 100 thousand people of the country’s population were recorded annually in Russia in 2005–2015. These injuries account for 2.4 % of the structure of all injuries in Russia.

Intention.Analysis of the content of scientific journal articles of domestic authors on burn injuries

Methodology.We conducted a search in the electronic database of the Scientific Electronic Library, which made it possible to identify in 2005–2017 1649 scientific journal articles of domestic authors. The average annual number of articles on burn injury indexed in the Russian Science Citation Index was (127 ± 13). There is an increase in the interest of researchers to the problems of burns. The content of the articles correlated with the developed classifier for burn injury.

Results and Discussion.General questions of burn injuries were described in 1.6 %, problems of organization of medical care for burn victims – in 4.9 %, characteristics of burn injuries – in 42.9 %, information on diagnostics, treatment, probable complications and rehabilitation of victims – in 41.3 %, experimental studies of burn injury in animals – in 9.3 % of publications. The presented indicators reflected the content of the articles, and, to some extent, objective data. For example, superficial and limited burns were studied to a lesser extent, although they actually prevail. As a rule, the object of research was complex cases that could be of increased interest among readers. The weighted average impact factor of the journals in which the articles were published was 0.304, the average number of citations per article was 1.42, 42.6 % of the articles were cited at least once, Hirsch index was 15. Some authors used inadequate study design. When preparing publications, the groups of authors were often redundant, which resulted in a significant decrease in the number of articles and citations per 1 coauthor.

Conclusion. The study helps optimize research in the field of burn injuries. Among the created array of articles, 74.2 % of publications had a full text, 69.4 % of articles were provided free of charge to registered readers of the Scientific Electronic Library.
