Published: October 2022

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) play a key role in deep learning applications. However, the high computational complexity and high-energy consumption of CNNs trammel their application in hardware accelerators. Computing-in-memory (CIM) is the technique of running calculations entirely in memory (in our design, we use SRAM). CIM architecture has demonstrated great potential to effectively compute large-scale matrix-vector multiplication. CIM-based architecture for event detection is designed to trigger the next stage of precision inference. To implement an SRAM-based CIM accelerator, a software and hardware co-design approach must consider the CIM macro’s hardware limitations to map the weight onto the AI edge devices. In this paper, we designed a hierarchical AI architecture to optimize the end-to-end system power in the AIoT application. In the experiment, the CIM-aware algorithm with 4-bit activation and 8-bit weight is examined on hand gesture and CIFAR-10 datasets, and determined to have 99.70% and 70.58% accuracy, respectively. A profiling tool to analyze the proposed design is also developed to measure how efficient our architecture design is. The proposed design system utilizes the operating frequency of 100 MHz, hand gesture and CIFAR-10 as the datasets, and nine CNNs and one FC layer as its network, resulting in a frame rate of 662 FPS, 37.6% processing unit utilization, and a power consumption of 0.853 mW.
Blind Remote Sensing Image Deblurring Based on Overlapped Patches’ Non-Linear Prior
Authors: Zhang Ziyu , Zheng Liangliang , Xu Wei , Gao Tan , Wu Xiaobin , Yang Biao
Published: October 2022

The remote sensing imaging environment is complex, in which many factors cause image blur. Thus, without prior knowledge, the restoration model established to obtain clear images can only rely on the observed blurry images. We still build the prior with extreme pixels but no longer traverse all pixels, such as the extreme channels. The features are extracted in units of patches, which are segmented from an image and partially overlap with each other. In this paper, we design a new prior, i.e., overlapped patches’ non-linear (OPNL) prior, derived from the ratio of extreme pixels affected by blurring in patches. The analysis of more than 5000 remote sensing images confirms that OPNL prior prefers clear images rather than blurry images in the restoration process. The complexity of the optimization problem is increased due to the introduction of OPNL prior, which makes it impossible to solve it directly. A related solving algorithm is established based on the projected alternating minimization (PAM) algorithm combined with the half-quadratic splitting method, the fast iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm (FISTA), fast Fourier transform (FFT), etc. Numerous experiments prove that this algorithm has excellent stability and effectiveness and has obtained competitive processing results in restoring remote sensing images.
How Do Human-Driven Vehicles Avoid Pedestrians in Interactive Environments? A Naturalistic Driving Study
Authors: Sun Shulei , Zhang Ziqiang , Zhang Zhiqi , Deng Pengyi , Tian Kai , Wei Chongfeng
Published: October 2022

One of the major challenges for autonomous vehicles (AVs) is how to drive in shared pedestrian environments. AVs cannot make their decisions and behaviour human-like or natural when they encounter pedestrians with different crossing intentions. The main reasons for this are the lack of natural driving data and the unclear rationale of the human-driven vehicle and pedestrian interaction. This paper aims to understand the underlying behaviour mechanisms using data of pedestrian–vehicle interactions from a naturalistic driving study (NDS). A naturalistic driving test platform was established to collect motion data of human-driven vehicles and pedestrians. A manual pedestrian intention judgment system was first developed to judge the pedestrian crossing intention at every moment in the interaction process. A total of 98 single pedestrian crossing events of interest were screened from 1274 pedestrian–vehicle interaction events under naturalistic driving conditions. Several performance metrics with quantitative data, including TTC, subjective judgment on pedestrian crossing intention (SJPCI), pedestrian position and crossing direction, and vehicle speed and deceleration were analyzed and applied to evaluate human-driven vehicles’ yielding behaviour towards pedestrians. The results show how vehicles avoid pedestrians in different interaction scenarios, which are classified based on vehicle deceleration. The behaviour and intention results are needed by future AVs, to enable AVs to avoid pedestrians more naturally, safely, and smoothly.
Intelligent Traffic Monitoring through Heterogeneous and Autonomous Networks Dedicated to Traffic Automation
Authors: Zadobrischi Eduard
Published: October 2022

In direct line with the evolution of technology, but also with the density of vehicles that create congestion and often road accidents, traffic monitoring systems are parts that integrate intelligent transport systems (ITS). This is one of the most critical elements within transport infrastructures, an aspect that involves extremely important financial investments in order to collect and analyze traffic data with the aim of designing systems capable of properly managing traffic. Technological progress in the field of wireless communications is advancing, highlighting new traffic monitoring solutions, and the need for major classification, but proposing a real-time analysis model to guide the new systems is a challenge addressed in this manuscript. The involvement of classifiers and computerized detection applied to traffic monitoring cameras can outline extremely vital systems for the future of logistic transport. Analyzing and debating vehicle classification systems, examining problems and challenges, as well as designing a software project capable of being the basis of new developments in the field of ITS systems are the aim of this study. The outline of a method based on intelligent algorithms and improved YOLOv3 can have a major impact on the effort to reduce the negative impact created by chaotic traffic and the outline of safety protocols in the field of transport. The reduction of waiting times and decongestion by up to 80% is a valid aspect, which we can deduce from the study carried out.
High-Performance Pockels Effect Modulation and Switching in Silicon-Based GaP/Si, AlP/Si, ZnS/Si, AlN/3C-SiC, GaAs/Ge, ZnSe/GaAs, and ZnSe/Ge Superlattice-On-Insulator Integrated Circuits
Authors: De Leonardis Francesco , Soref Richard
Published: October 2022

We propose new a Si-based waveguided Superlattice-on-Insulator (SLOI) platforms for high-performance electro-optical (EO) 2 × 2 and N × M switching and 1 × 1 modulation, including broad spectrum and resonant. We present a theoretical investigation based on the tight-binding Hamiltonian of the Pockels EO effect in the lattice-matched undoped (GaP)N/(Si2)M, (AlP)N/(Si2)M, (ZnS)N/(Si2)M, (AlN)N/(3C−SiC)M, (GaAs)N/(Ge2)M, (ZnSe)N/(GaAs)M, and (ZnSe)N/(Ge2)M wafer-scale short-period superlattices that are etched into waveguided networks of small-footprint Mach-Zehnder interferometers and micro-ring resonators to yield opto-electronic chips. The spectra of the Pockels r33 coefficient have been simulated as a function of the number of the atomic monolayers for “non-relaxed” heterointerfaces. The large obtained r33 values enable the SLOI circuit platforms to offer a very favorable combination of monolithic construction, cost-effective manufacturability, high modulation/switching speed, high information bandwidth, tiny footprint, low energy per bit, low switching voltage, near-IR-and-telecom wavelength coverage, and push-pull operation. By optimizing waveguide, clad, and electrode dimensions, we obtained very desirable values of the VπL performance metric, in the range of 0.062 to 0.275 V·cm, portending a bright future for a variety of applications, such as sensor networks or Internet of Things (IoT).
The Effects of Sheet Thickness and Excitation Frequency on Hysteresis Loops of Non-Oriented Electrical Steel
Authors: Chwastek Krzysztof Roman
Published: October 2022

The paper focuses on modeling the rate dependence of hysteresis loops in conductive magnetic materials. The concept, which was advanced about fifty years ago by Chua, is discussed. It is shown that the viscous-type equation considered by Zirka and co-workers belongs to the class of Chua-type models. The dynamic effects are described with a simple fractional power law. The value of the exponent in the above-mentioned power law may be assessed on the basis of measurements of coercive field strength at different excitation frequencies. To verify the usefulness of the approach, the measurements of hysteresis loops were carried out at several excitation frequencies under standardized conditions for two grades of non-oriented electrical steel. The modeled curves are in a good correspondence with the measured ones. The considered model uses fewer parameters than approaches based on three-term loss separation schemes.
A General Neural Network Model for Complex Refractive Index Extraction of Low-Loss Materials in the Transmission-Mode THz-TDS
Authors: Zhou Zesen , Jia Shanshan , Cao Lei
Published: October 2022

The complex refractive index for low-loss materials is conventionally extracted by either approximate analytical formula or numerical iterative algorithm (such as Nelder-Mead and Newton-Raphson) based on the transmission-mode terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). A novel 4-layer neural network model is proposed to obtain optical parameters of low-loss materials with high accuracy in a wide range of parameters (frequency and thickness). Three materials (TPX, z-cut crystal quartz and 6H SiC) with different dispersions and thicknesses are used to validate the robustness of the general model. Without problems of proper initial values and non-convergence, the neural network method shows even smaller errors than the iterative algorithm. Once trained and tested, the proposed method owns both high accuracy and wide generality, which will find application in the multi-class object detection and high-precision characterization of THz materials.
Impact of the Dropping Function on Clustering of Packet Losses
Authors: Chydzinski Andrzej
Published: October 2022

The dropping function mechanism is known to improve the performance of TCP/IP networks by reducing queueing delays and desynchronizing flows. In this paper, we study yet another positive effect caused by this mechanism, i.e., the reduction in the clustering of packet losses, measured by the burst ratio. The main contribution consists of two new formulas for the burst ratio in systems with and without the dropping function, respectively. These formulas enable the easy calculation of the burst ratio for a general, non-Poisson traffic, and for an arbitrary form of the dropping function. Having the formulas, we provide several numerical examples that demonstrate their usability. In particular, we test the effect of the dropping function’s shape on the burst ratio. Several shapes of the dropping function proposed in the literature are compared in this context. We also demonstrate, how the optimal shape can be found in a parameter-depended class of functions. Finally, we investigate the impact of different system parameters on the burst ratio, including the load of the system and the variance of the service time. The most important conclusion drawn from these examples is that it is not only the dropping function that reduces the burst ratio by far; simultaneously, the more variable the traffic, the more beneficial the application of the dropping function.
Assessment of Urban Neighbourhoods’ Vulnerability through an Integrated Vulnerability Index (IVI): Evidence from Barcelona, Spain
Authors: Piasek Gonzalo , Fernández Aragón Iraide , Shershneva Julia , Garcia-Almirall Pilar
Published: October 2022

Urban inequality, specifically in vulnerable areas, has been a study topic from the earliest days of sociology to the present. This study’s objective is to discuss the scope and limitation of the concept of urban vulnerability, whilst generating an index that detects urban vulnerability in all its dimensions. A factor analysis of the main components was conducted resulting in the formation of four partial indices related to the social class, gentrification, social and employment, and physical & architectural dimensions of urban vulnerability, whilst their sums conform an integrated vulnerability index. This index is applied to the city of Barcelona, allowing its neighbourhoods to be positioned on a vulnerability continuum. Despite being applied in this city, the integrated vulnerability index emerges with the purpose of being replicated to other urban spaces. The mapping of these results using geographic information systems suggests a robust index that allows early identification of problematics, while also providing clues for policy intervention.
Putting Values to the Test in Times of Pandemic
Authors: Barsallo Alvarado Gabisel , Mendoza Elisa , Torreiro-Casal Monica
Published: October 2022

As everyday security becomes more important in society, reflection on scientific evidence obtained in relation to other areas of knowledge is required. The purpose of the article was to explore and analyze social perceptions of values in crisis situations. A correlational hypothesis is proposed, according to which it is demonstrated that, as societies’ levels of economic and personal security vary, so do their perceptions of their values and the importance they assign to them. The methodology used was quantitative and correlational, with data obtained through online surveys distributed on social media platforms from June to October 2020, with the participation of 502 adults aged 18 and over. The main results showed that respect was perceived as the most necessary value to face the crisis by women and men and across age groups, while happiness and cultural diversity were the least important in relation to gender and age variables. Schools and households appeared to be the places identified as the most significant foci of values education, not the religious communities to which the participants belonged. However, the results related to religious affiliation revealed that the younger generation (18–30-year-olds), which represented one third of the respondents, did not have any religious beliefs. This may limit the applicability of this conclusion. Findings from this study contribute to the understanding of value-system changes during crises; therefore, further interdisciplinary study of value systems and incidences of values in the Panamanian context are recommended.
Thermo-Economic Analysis of Innovative Integrated Power Cycles for Low-Temperature Heat Sources Based on Heat Transformer
Authors: Nematzadeh Nazila , Ghaebi Hadi , Abdi Aghdam Ebrahim
Published: October 2022

This paper proposes two novel integrated power cycles as appropriate systems for low-temperature heat sources. The proposed cycles encompass an absorption heat transformer (AHT) system to convert low-temperature heat source to high-temperature source and supply the required heat for driving Kalina cycle (KC) and absorption power cycle (APC) as bottoming cycles. A comprehensive simulation of the system is presented based on the thermo-economic viewpoint. The results show that the AHT/KC has higher energy and exergy efficiencies than the AHT/APC, with 7.69% and 49.03%, respectively. In addition, the sum unit cost of the product (SUCP) for the system is calculated 87.72 $/GJ. According to the results, throttle valve 1 and absorber 1 are the most destructive components of the AHT/KC and AHT/APC, respectively. The net output power in the AHT/KC and the AHT/APC is assessed 60.06 kW and 34.86 kW, respectively. The circulation rate (CR), Coefficient of performance (COP), and exergetic coefficient of performance (ECOP) for both cycles are 3.819, 0.4108, and 0.6107, respectively. The study of key parameters demonstrates that the energetic performance of the proposed power cycles increases and decreases by a rise in the temperature of the generator and condenser, respectively. From the exergetic perspective, rising temperature of the generator improves the efficiency of the cycles, while increasing the ammonia concentration as well as condenser and absorber temperatures reduce the exergy efficiency.
Acoustic Emission Waveform Characteristics of Red Sandstone Failure under Uniaxial Compression after Thermal Damage
Authors: Zhang Herui , Guo Weihong
Published: October 2022

During the exploitation of deep resources, rocks are often in a high-temperature, high-pressure environment. It is of great significance to study the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of thermal damaged rock under load to improve the accuracy of monitoring in practical engineering. In this paper, sandstone was heated at different temperatures, before a uniaxial compression test was performed and the AE in the process was monitored. The results show that the strength and AE energy of sandstone decrease gradually with an increase in heating temperature. Through frequency domain analysis of the AE waveform at the time of failure, it was found that the frequency and intensity of AE also showed a downward trend with an increase in temperature. In addition, multifractal theory is introduced to deconstruct the waveform data. The multifractal characteristics of the waveforms decrease with an increase in temperature. It provides new parameters for waveform analysis, which can be combined with frequency analysis as parameters to more accurately identify rock failure in engineering practice. The attenuation of AE of thermally damaged sandstone may be related to an increase in porosity and a decrease in elastic energy release.

Published: October 2022

The tube-web spider genus Ariadna Audouin, 1826 has been revised for South Australia and Victoria, revealing a remarkable diversity, particularly centred in the arid north of South Australia. We describe 23 species as new, ten of which are supported by molecular data, where these were available. We recognise two species groups for some of the species based on a combination of genitalic morphology, macrosetae patterns and somatic characters: the clavata species group, which includes Ariadna clavata Marsh, Baehr, Glatz & Framenau, 2018 and A. spinosa sp. nov. from South Australia, and A. otwayensis sp. nov. and A. sinuosa sp. nov. from Victoria, and the formosa species group, including A. formosa sp. nov. and A. umbra sp. nov. from South Australia, and A. tria sp. nov. from Victoria. Seventeen new species could not be placed into these two species groups: A. arenacea sp. nov., A. bellatula sp. nov., A. curvata sp. nov., A. deserta sp. nov., A. diucrura sp. nov., A. flavescens sp. nov., A. inflata sp. nov., A. insula sp. nov., A. pollex sp. nov., A. propria sp. nov., A. rutila sp. nov., Ariadna simplex sp. nov., A. subplana sp. nov., A. una sp. nov., A. ungua sp. nov., A. valida sp. nov. and A. woinarskii sp. nov. We provide updated diagnoses and distributional data for A. clavata and A. tangara Marsh, Baehr, Glatz & Framenau, 2018; however, the holotype of A. burchelli (Hogg, 1900) from Victoria could not be located for this project.

Authors: Mnyani Coceka N. , Smit Andomei , Sherman Gayle G.
Published: October 2022

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted HIV programmes with the diversion of resources and lockdown measures. We assessed the impact of COVID-19 on infant HIV diagnosis in the context of updated 2019 prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) guidelines in Johannesburg, South Africa. Methods: HIV PCR data for children <2 years were extracted from the National Health Laboratory Service database from October 2018 to September 2021, inclusive. Trends in the total number of tests performed and the total number of children with HIV diagnosed, stratified by age, were determined to assess the effect of different COVID-19 lockdown levels and updated guidelines. Results: When comparing three 12-month periods ending September 2019–2021, respectively, the total number of HIV PCR tests performed increased (from 41 879 to 47 265 to 56 813), and the total number of children with HIV decreased (from 659 to 640 to 620), year-on-year. There was a substantial increase in 6-month testing in response to updated guidelines. Excluding 6-month testing, the year-on-year increase in total tests was maintained with birth and 10-week testing closely approximating total live births to women living with HIV. A decrease in the total number of children with HIV diagnosed was noted in Q2 2020, coinciding with the most restrictive lockdown, followed by a rebound in cases. Conclusions: Despite the restrictions and diversion of resources associated with COVID-19, there was a successful implementation of PMTCT guideline updates and minimal disruption to infant HIV testing. However, much work remains in order to achieve the elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.
Modelling and Simulation of a Hydrogen-Based Hybrid Energy Storage System with a Switching Algorithm
Authors: Ram Vishal , Infantraj  , Salkuti Surender Reddy
Published: October 2022

Currently, transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy is needed, considering the impact of climate change on the globe. From this point of view, there is a need for development in several stages such as storage, transmission, and conversion of power. In this paper, we demonstrate a simulation of a hybrid energy storage system consisting of a battery and fuel cell in parallel operation. The novelty in the proposed system is the inclusion of an electrolyser along with a switching algorithm. The electrolyser consumes electricity to intrinsically produce hydrogen and store it in a tank. This implies that the system consumes electricity as input energy as opposed to hydrogen being the input fuel. The hydrogen produced by the electrolyser and stored in the tank is later utilised by the fuel cell to produce electricity to power the load when needed. Energy is, therefore, stored in the form of hydrogen. A battery of lower capacity is coupled with the fuel cell to handle transient loads. A parallel control algorithm is developed to switch on/off the charging and discharging cycle of the fuel cell and battery depending upon the connected load. Electrically equivalent circuits of a polymer electrolyte membrane electrolyser, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell, necessary hydrogen, oxygen, water tanks, and switching controller for the parallel operation were modelled with their respective mathematical equations in MATLAB® Simulink®. In this paper, we mainly focus on the modelling and simulation of the proposed system. The results showcase the simulated system’s mentioned advantages and compare its ability to handle loads to a battery-only system.

The Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a spiritual treasure of the Church that can help the growth of people's faith and for the implementation of the work of proclaiming the Gospel for all nations. Arnold Janssen who has an extraordinary missionary spirit introduced the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to the world. His devotion is not just an adoption from his predecessors but also carries a distinctive spirit, missionary spirit, and openness. In the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, it is called an aggiornamento. This article aims to explore the spirit of renewal and the spirit of missionary work. The method used by the author in this search is a literature study. Through this analysis, the writer finds that the spirit of “aggiornamento” is also present in the devotion of the Sacred Heart according to Arnold Janssen. The contribution from the spirit of spiritual life and motivation introduced by Arnold through the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is very useful for the preaching and pastoral work of the Church. This devotion introduced by Arnold can also be one of the relevant means of preaching and pastoral of the Church.
KONFLIK KERJA DAN MODAL: KONSTRIBUSI PERSONALISME DALAM ENSIKLIK LABOREM EXERCENS
Authors: Laksito Petrus Canisius Edi
Published: October 2022

This article wants to discuss the social teaching of Pope John Paul II regarding the conflict between work and capital in his encyclical Laborem Exercens. Karl Marx (1818-1883) holds that in an capitalistic industrial world, work is represented by the worker class as work force, while capital is represented by the entrepeneurs, owners or holders of the means of production. In Laborem Exercens art. 11-15, the Pope mentions this issue of the relationship of work and capital from the perspective of Christian personalism, proposing the principle of the priority of work over capital as the basis for regulating work in general and industry in particular. From this study, it is hoped that several consequences can be drawn for studies and efforts about work that are based on a personalistic vision of man

The research method in writing this article uses a descriptive qualitative study method with a library research approach.
O trauma da morte do autor em Ricardo Lísias
Authors: Ruivo Julia Barbedo
Published: October 2022

Nos séculos XX e XXI, desfez-se a ideia de que a “boa consciência” de um narrador em terceira pessoa serviria como amenização das tensões nas incoerências narrativas. A ficção moderna voltou-se à indagação do próprio sentido de narrar, dado que a incoerência da própria realidade levaria à rejeição das convenções realistas, que enfatizam o caráter referencial da linguagem, sendo que a enunciação passa a tomar o centro da cena, diluindo as fronteiras entre narrativa e discurso. Essas colocações abrem diálogo com Roland Barthes (2004), para quem “é a linguagem que fala, não é o autor; escrever é [...] atingir aquele ponto em que só a linguagem atua, ‘performa’, e não ‘eu” (Barthes: 2004). O ato de narração, em Ricardo Lísias, parece encarar tal desafio levantando questões como as diferentes possibilidades da voz narrativa, bem como a intangibilidade do real. De uma forma ou de outra, as construções narrativas em Lísias parecem se empenhar ao redor das questões: como narrar o inenarrável? E como ser autor após a morte do autor? A resposta parece se reinventar e se renovar a cada novo instante, como se houvesse uma espécie de superação desse trauma e escrever fosse uma forma de cura pela palavra, algo particularmente notável nas experimentações com a voz narrativa que, por vezes, se aproxima tão intimamente de seus personagens que os absorve em suas cosmovisões e seus modos de falar, assim como, em outros momentos, chega a interagir com os personagens ou até mesmo desistir da história. Tendo isto em vista, Ricardo Lísias parece lidar, por meio da própria linguagem, com os empecilhos narrativos impostos aos séculos XX e XXI, ao experimentar formas e romper fronteiras com os seus procedimentos narrativos, buscando soluções para o problema do narrador e da ausência do autor.

Authors: Obrero Nino Martin , Garcia Dante
Published: October 2022

This article examines the entrepreneurial performance of micro-enterprises in the Bicol region, Philippines, using the 14 pillars of the Global Entrepreneurship Index. It also examines the effect of managerial efficiency on economic performance and the significant influence between the development index and economic performance. Micro enterprises contribute to economic development as they comprise the largest portion of the micro, small and medium enterprise sector and provide the biggest share of the country’s employment. However, micro-enterprises still face significant obstacles to growth. Using descriptive statistics, slack-based data envelopment analysis, bootstrap-bias corrected and accelerated regression, multivariate analysis, and hierarchical regression, the study found out that micro-enterprises usually practice opportunity perception, start-up skills, networking, cultural support, and high growth. Micro enterprises that showed strong development performance have managerial efficiency indicating no shortage in sales and their potential. Moreover, entrepreneurial activity stimulates attitude, aspiration, and monthly sales of micro-enterprises. It directly and highly affects sales because micro-enterprises always practice the pillars of technology absorption, opportunity start-up, competition, and human capital. This article illustrates a model suggesting that micro-enterprises should improve opportunity perception, start-up skills, risk acceptance, process innovation, high growth, and internationalization to improve sales. Furthermore, the study may provide tips for micro-enterprises in the Philippines and may be used as a basis for programs and policies to support their development.

Fully relaxed InGaN templates with high In composition (In: ∼18%) were investigated. We used an InGaN template with an In composition of 16.5%. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of MQWs on the InGaN template exhibited higher emission intensity and longer emission wavelength than that on a GaN template. Moreover, an InGaN barrier was found to be more suitable than a GaN barrier for the long-wavelength (red) region in the InGaN underlayer. The intensity of the PL spectrum of InGaN/InGaN MQWs was twice as high as that of InGaN/GaN MQWs in the red emission region. Finally, we analyzed the optical polarization of the MQWs on {11

Published: October 2022

To apply channeled-ion implantation to cost-effective multi-epitaxial growth for 4H-SiC superjunction devices, we re-evaluated the Al-ion energy (E) dependence of the electronic stopping cross section (S
e) in 4H-SiC based on the recently reported secondary-ion mass spectrometry measured depth profiles. By including the effect of stripping of the ion electrons on the E dependence of S
e, we successfully reproduced the reported maximum channeled ranges of Al into 4H-SiC (0001), ranging from 0.6 μm at the implantation-energy (E
0) of 60 keV to 7.2 μm at E
0 of 8 MeV.
Using hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study a SiO2/HfO2-based interface dipole modulation stack embedded in a metal–insulator-metal structure

Published: October 2022

Hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to examine the interface dipole modulation of SiO2/1-monolayer titanium oxide/HfO2 stack embedded in a metal–insulator–metal structure. Reversible shifts in the Si 1 s, Hf 3d, and Ti 1 s photoelectron peaks were induced by electrical stress, and they indicate the switching of the potential profile inside the SiO2/titanium oxide/HfO2 stack. Moreover, a proportion change in the Ti3+ component correlates with the potential switching, and that correlation suggests that the structural change around the interface titanium atoms leads to the interface dipole modulation.

This study aims to develop an effective method of classification concerning time series signals for machine state prediction to advance predictive maintenance (PdM).   Conventional machine learning (ML) algorithms are widely adopted in PdM, however, most existing methods assume that the training (source) and testing (target) data follow the same distribution, and that labeled data are available in both source and target domains. For real-world PdM applications, the heterogeneity in machine original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), operating conditions, facility environment, and maintenance records collectively lead to heterogeneous distribution for data collected from different machines. This will significantly limit the performance of conventional ML algorithms in PdM. Moreover, labeling data is generally costly and time-consuming. Finally, industrial processes incorporate complex conditions, and unpredictable breakdown modes lead to extreme complexities for PdM. In this study, similarity-based multi-source transfer learning (SiMuS-TL) approach is proposed for real-time classification of time series signals. A new domain, called "mixed domain," is established to model the hidden similarities among the multiple sources and the target. The proposed SiMuS-TL model mainly includes three key steps: 1) learning group-based feature patterns, 2) developing group-based pre-trained models, and 3) weight transferring. The proposed SiMuS-TL model is validated by observing the state of the rotating machinery using a dataset collected on the Skill boss manufacturing system, publicly available standard bearing datasets, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), and Paderborn University (PU) bearing datasets. The results of the performance comparison demonstrate that the proposed SiMuS-TL method outperformed conventional Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Transfer learning with neural networks (TLNN) without similarity-based transfer learning methods.
CONSUMER PERCEPTION OF FOOD QUALITY AND PACKAGED FOOD LABELLING: A STUDY IN LALMONIRHAT DISTRICT, BANGLADESH.
Authors: Md. Shahiduzzaman Abu Sayed , Naskar Manas
Published: October 2022

Human health mostly depends on quality food habits. In the rural area of Bangladesh, the people are in ill health due to
the consumption of impure food which affects normal daily life. The study investigates rural, educated people thinking
about purchasing quality foods and package food labelling. A field study was conducted at Hatibandha and Kaliganj
Upazila of the Lalmonirhat district of Bangladesh with a structured questionnaire. The study shows that the people of rural
areas are highly aware of their attitudes about food quality. Those with a comparatively high educational background are
more conscious of maintaining food quality.The Study results also find that the rural people have very little knowledge
and understanding of government rules and regulations regarding food quality and labelling
