Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) has seen tremendous growth over the past 10 years. In recent times, luxury cars, as well as some newly emerging cars, come with ADAS application. From 2014, Because of the entry of the European new car assessment programme (EuroNCAP) [1] in the AEBS test, it helped gain momentum the introduction of ADAS in Europe [1]. Most OEMs and research institutes have already demonstrated on the self-driving cars [1]. So here, a focus is made on road segmentation where LiDAR sensor takes in the image of the surrounding and where the vehicle should know its path, it is fulfilled by processing a convolutional neural network called semantic segmentation on an FPGA board in 16.9ms [3]. Further, a traffic light detection model is also developed by using NVidia Jetson and 2 FPGA boards, collectively named as 'Driving brain' which acts as a super computer for such networks. The results are obtained at higher accuracy by processing the obtained traffic light images into the CNN classifier [5]. Overall, this paper gives a brief idea of the technical trend of autonomous driving which throws light on algorithms and for advanced driver-assistance systems used for road segmentation and traffic light detection.

In the problems of image recognition, various approaches used when the image is noisy and there is a small sample of observations. The article discusses the issue of noise filtering in image processing. The lack of a priori information complicates the processing of data, as a result of which it is necessary to rely on some statistical models of signals and noise. The use of known filters does not always give the desired result. A Gaussian filter can be used for additive noise, a modified Kalman filter eliminates a wider range of noise.

The combination of one kind of fibers with another kind of fibers or one length with another length of fiber is termed as hybrid fiber. Mixing of different lengths of fiber in concrete is known as graded fiber. According to different research articles short fibers are unable to transfer force due to insufficient grip length, fibers more than critical length fail in snapping of fiber. Short length Fibers up to certain range increase toughness and bridge the micro cracks. Long fibers arrest macro cracks, resistance to post peak deformation. The M25 grade of concrete was chosen with a continual w/c ratio 0.43 where fractional replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement with glass fiber is done in different proportion. After preparing the samples according to Taguchi’s method orthogonal array, the mechanical characterizations are performed.

In the present time scenario, where we use cables and optical fibers for data transmission along with power transmission, locating the flaws and faults in the transmission lines has become a necessity. Transmission lines are among the essential fragments of power systems. Being exposed to climatic fluctuations makes them the most vulnerable fragment. There may be numerous reasons that originate faults in the lines, such as temperature escalation, lightning strokes, even drizzles and fog because insulated carriers to wear out mechanically. It is indispensable to locate the fault point to restore the power at the earliest. Excellence in power delivery is achieved only if the time enforced in determining the flaw point in the line is limited. Accordingly, an authentic access is essential to figure out the literal location of the fault in the transmission line. This project introduces an accurate and adequate approach for determining the location of the line fault. It illustrates how the use of GSM and GPS along with ARDUINO UNO can relatively reduce the human labor and increase the accuracy whilst downsizing the obligatory time.

Authors: Nyachwaya Joseph Mariga , Rugami James Maina
Published: June 2020

Commercial banks in Kenya and especially Mombasa County are facing firm rivalry demanding the use of competitive strategies so as to improve their performance. Most of the commercial banks are deliberating on ways to enhance their performance, with competitive strategies being one of them to arrive a market and afterwards make sense of and ensure its aggressive position. Therefore, this study aimed at establishing the effect of competitive strategies on the performance of commercial banks in Mombasa County. The specific objectives were to determine the effect of cost leadership strategy, differentiation strategy and focus strategy on the performance of commercial banks in Mombasa County. The study was anchored on the theory of resource-based view, strategic balancing and game theory. A descriptive research design was employed in this study. The target population of this study was 280 commercial banks staff in Mombasa County. The sample size was eighty-four after adopting a stratified random sampling technique to select 30% of the target population. The study made use of primary data collection using questionnaires. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 24.0 and presented using tables. The study established that despite the challenges in implementation, competitive strategies are very important for banks to remain competitive in the market. The study further concluded that understanding the market structure is a key determinant for the successful implementation of competitive strategies. Banks following a cost leadership strategy realize statistically significant superior performance compared to those that pursue broad differentiation and focus strategy which reports above-average returns. The researcher highly recommends that commercial banks consider shifting more of their focus on the cost leadership strategy in order to realize superior performance. To succeed at offering the lowest price while still achieving profitability and a high return on investment, commercial banks are recommended to operate at a lower cost than its rivals, this could be possible through some fairly unique capabilities to achieve and sustain their low-cost position. The study also recommends strategy planners to integrate and embrace the differentiation strategy which will enable them to differentiate in various methods such as new technology, brand image, design, network customer service or the number of features. Further, commercial banks are recommended to centre on the existing markets and products or services; they can create competitive edge by getting the best mix between existing products and existing markets.

African American Women Scholars and International Research: Dr. Anna Julia Cooper’s Legacy of Study Abroad
Authors: Evans Stephanie Y.
Published: June 2020

In this article, a little-known but detailed history of Black women’s tradition of study abroad is presented. Specifically, the story of Dr. Anna Julia Cooper is situated within the landscape of historic African American students who studied in Japan, Germany, Jamaica, England, Italy, Haiti, India, West Africa, and Thailand, in addition to France. The story of Cooper’s intellectual production is especially intriguing because, at a time when Black women were just beginning to pursue doctorates in the United States, Anna Cooper chose to earn her Ph.D. from the Sorbonne in Paris. In this article, it is demonstrated that her research agenda and institutional choice reflected a popular trend of Black academics to construct their scholarly identities with an international foundation. The intersection of race, gender, nationality, language, and culture are critical areas of inquiry from which to study higher education.

All infants were followed-up during the first year of life, besides of clinical examination TEWL was assessed as an objective criterion of epidermal barrier function. The main outcome was the development of AD at the age of 12 months. Results. 72 infants have been included into final analysis (35 - main group, 37 - control group). By the end of follow-up 19 patients (26.4%) had confirmed AD, with significant difference in cumulative incidence of AD between group: 37.8% in the main group and 14.3% in control, р
Architektura, urbanistyka i wspólnota – „Byker” Sirkki-Liisy Konttinen
Authors: Kosińska Karolina
Published: June 2020

Tekst skupia się na projekcie Byker (1983) Sirkki-Liisy Konttinen – członkini kolektywu Amber z Newcastle dokumentującego życie społeczne środowisk robotniczych w północnej Anglii – który z jednej strony stanowił zapis transformacji osiedla Byker (władze miasta zdecydowały o jego wyburzeniu, a rzędy szeregowców, uznanych za slumsy, miała zastąpić nowoczesna zabudowa autorstwa Ralpha Erskine’a), z drugiej wpisywał się w żywą dyskusję na temat architektury i urbanistyki powojennej Brytanii. Kosińska stara się dowieść, że film Byker, choć nostalgiczny w tonie, jest przede wszystkim – z racji hybrydycznej formy, ale i złożonych chwytów retorycznych – próbą symbolicznego odwrócenia procesu niszczenia i (re)konstrukcji wspólnoty, przywrócenia jej kontroli nad przestrzenią. Autorka wykorzystuje tezy Annabell Honess Roe i teorie przestrzeni jako konstruktu społecznego Henri’ego Lefebvre’a, a wpisując film w kontekst urbanistyczny, sięga też do raportu Petera Malpassa rozbijającego mit sukcesu, jaki towarzyszył przebudowie Byker.

Змішування є основною технологічною операцією під час виробництва преміксів для тварин. У сумішах, з яких виготовляють премікси, важливо забезпечити рівномірний розподіл компонентів, оскільки від цього залежать ефективність використання преміксів та їх безпечність. Суміші преміксів містять окремі компоненти в мікродозах, відповідно співвідношення між компонентами суміші може становити 1:10 та більше. Забезпечити високу якість такої суміші шляхом змішування компонентів неможливо. Рівномірний розподіл компонентів за об’ємом такої суміші можуть забезпечити нонміксингові способи формування сумішей. У статті обґрунтовано спосіб нонміксингового отримання суміші, що передбачає її формування з елементарних об’ємів суміші, в яких забезпечено необхідне співвідношення між компонентами. Цей спосіб дозволяє формувати суміш із компонентів із різними фізико-механічними властивостями та геометричними параметрами. У результаті теоретичних досліджень отримана залежність, яка дозволяє обґрунтувати елементарний об’єм суміші для реалізації запропонованого способу формування суміші. У разі формування технічними засобами елементарних об’єм суміші такої величини, можна отримати суміш високої якості, оскільки розподіл компонентів у ній буде наближатися до ідеального. Крім того, отримані залежності, які дозволяють розрахувати масу мікродоз компонентів для формування елементарного об’єму суміші та, відповідно, обґрунтувати режим роботи дозаторів.

Published: June 2020

У статті запропонована конструкція садильного апарату картоплі пасивного типу і представлені результати теоретичних досліджень руху насіння картоплі сферичної форми каскадами із прямолінійними і криволінійними поверхнями. Визначено умови пришвидшення та сповільнення окремих картоплин із урахуванням сил гравітації. Вирощування картоплі в індивідуальних господарствах та зміна кліматичних умов вимагають напрацювання нових підходів при вирощуванні картоплі, застосування нетрадиційних технологій та створення принципово нових, конструктивно простих технічних засобів для садіння картоплі. Основним функціональним вузлом картоплесаджалок є садильний апарат, спрощення конструкції якого можливе за рахунок використання сил гравітації для переміщення картоплі. Такий підхід дозволяє відмовитись від традиційних приводних садильних апаратів, які у більшості випадків травмують картоплини, та суттєво спростити конструкцію картоплесаджалки. Забезпечення точності подачі насіння картоплі на поверхню поля залежить від умов відокремлення окремих бульб у процесі переміщення від бункера до відсікача, який кінематично з’єднаний із опорно-ходовими колесами картоплесаджалки, які приводять у рух всі елементи садильного апарату. Визначальними параметрами, які впливають на переміщення насіння картоплі апаратом пасивного типу, є геометрична форма та маса бульб, від яких залежать час проходження шляху від бункера до поверхні ґрунту, тобто швидкість та прискорення бульб.

Для підвищення зносостійкості ґрунтообробних робочих органів  розроблена технологія безводневого азотування у тліючому розряді (БАТР) лап культиватора (Tiger-Mate 200). Під час дослідження зміцнення робочої поверхні лап культиватора процес модифікації здійснювався за режимом, що забезпечує достатньо високі пластичні властивості модифікованого шару, щоб виключити сколювання та викришування ріжучого леза лапи культиватора і її затуплення в процесі роботи, з одночасним забезпеченням достатньої глибини азотованого шару: середовище – 25% N2 + 75% Ar; температура азотування – 520°С; тиск у розрядній камері – 200 Па; тривалість азотування – 6 год. У результаті застосування цього способу модифікації отримано поверхневий шар товщиною 120...150 мкм із мікротвердістю Н100 950…980 МПа, що опирається на пружну основу (гартовану сталь 35Г після низькотемпературного відпуску, отриманого в процесі азотування Н100 500…600 МПа). Немодифіковані і модифіковані лапи були встановлені та випробовувалися на культиваторі моделі Tiger-Mate 200 у виробничих умовах на полях підприємства СТзОВ “Гарант” (Хмельницька область, Україна). У процесі випробовування фіксувалася зміна розмірів лап (стирання). Результати випробування підтвердили підвищення зносостійкості модифікованих лап у порівнянні із немодифікованими в 1,7...1,8 рази.

Abstract: The use of additives in silages is increasing worldwide, based on the premise of the better material preservation or because of an aggregation of nutritional value with the use of some types of additives. This review aims to present information on a series of additives that can be used in a variety of silages according to their needs. The main classes of additives currently available are: fermentation inhibitors, nutrients, aerobic deterioration inhibitors, fermentation stimulants and humidity absorbent additives. It is fundamental that the properties adopt the practice of producing quality roughage as a primary investment, aiming on a greater financial return through the adoption of strategic planning in the short, medium and long term. There are several additives available in the market, but it is ideal to know if its use in the silage is necessary, what is the form of application, its dosage, and how the additive will benefit the silage. Thus,, it is essential the search for additives that gives additional contribution to the microorganisms responsible for the potentialization of the fermentation of the substrates present in the biomass, aiming to bring benefits to the fermentation process, to reduce losses, to stimulate or inhibit fermentations, to keep the stability of the forage, and to preserve the nutritive value of the ensiled mass in order to be similar to the green forage, or as close as possible to the plant it came from, or to add nutritional value through certain classes of additives.

Triassic lithostratigraphy of the Jameson Land Basin (central East
Greenland), with emphasis on the new Fleming Fjord Group

Published: June 2020

The lithostratigraphy of the Triassic deposits of the Jameson Land Basin in
central East Greenland is revised. The new Scoresby Land Supergroup is now
composed of the Wordie Creek, Pingo Dal, Gipsdalen and Fleming Fjord Groups.
This paper only deals with the lithostratigraphy of the late Early-Late Triassic
continental deposits of the latter three groups with emphasis on the vertebratebearing
Fleming Fjord Group. The new Pingo Dal Group consists of three new
formations, the Rødstaken, Paradigmabjerg and Klitdal Formations (all elevated
from members), the new Gipsdalen Group consists of three new formations,
the Kolledalen, Solfaldsdal (with the new Gråklint Member) and Kap Seaforth
Formations (all elevated from members), and the new Fleming Fjord Group is
subdivided into three new formations, the Edderfugledal, Malmros Klint and
Ørsted Dal Formations (all elevated from members). The Edderfugledal Formation
contains two cyclic bedded, lacustrine members, a lowermost Sporfjeld Member
(elevated from beds), and an uppermost Pingel Dal Member (elevated from beds).
The lacustrine red beds of the Malmros Klint Formation are not subdivided. The
lacustrine and fluvial Ørsted Dal Formation contains three new members. In the
eastern and central part of the basin, the formation is initiated by cyclic bedded,
red lacustrine mudstones of the Carlsberg Fjord Member (elevated from beds),
while in the northwestern part of the basin the lowermost part of the formation
is composed of grey fluvial conglomerates and sandstones with subordinate red
mudstones of the Bjergkronerne Member (elevated from beds). The uppermost part
of the formations in most of the basin is composed of cyclic bedded, variegated
lacustrine mudstones and grey to yellowish marlstones of the Tait Bjerg Member
(elevated from beds). The sediments in the Fleming Fjord Group contain remains
of a rich and diverse vertebrate fauna including dinosaurs, amphibians, turtles,
aeotosaurs, pterosaurs, phytosaurs and mammaliaforms. Most vertebrate bones
have been found in uppermost Malmros Klint Formation, and in the Carlsberg
Fjord and Tait Bjerg Members. The Norian–early Rhaetian, lacustrine Fleming
Fjord Group was deposited at about 41° N on the northern part of the supercontinent
Pangaea. Lacustrine sedimentation was controlled by seasonal as well as
longer-term (orbital) variation in precipitation. Precipitation was probably brought
to the basin by southwesterly winds. The lacustrine sediments of the uppermost
Fleming Fjord Group show deposition during increasingly humid conditions
changing the lake environment from an ephemeral lake-steppe area to a perennial
lake. This evolution of lake environment suggests a change from a winter-wet
temperate climate to one with precipitation throughout the year.
