Optimization of wind farm portfolio to minimize the overall power fluctuations – a case study for the Faroe Islands
Authors: Poulsen Turið , Niclasen Bárður A. , Giebel Gregor , Beyer Hans Georg
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Hourly modeled wind turbine power output time series – modeled from outputs from the mesoscale numerical weather prediction system WRF – are used to examine the spatial smoothing of various wind farm portfolios located on a complex isolated island group with a surface area of 1400 km2. Power spectral densities (PSD), hourly step change functions, and duration curves are generated, and the 5th and 95th percentiles of the step change functions are calculated. The spatial smoothing is identified from smaller high frequency PSD values, less hourly fluctuations, and more flat duration curves per installed wind power capacity, compared to single wind turbine outputs. A discussion on the limitation of the spatial smoothing for the region is included, where a smoothing effect is clear for periods up to 1–2 days, although most evident at the higher frequencies. By maximizing the smoothing effect, optimal wind farm portfolios are presented with the intention to minimize the overall wind power fluctuations. The focus is mainly on the smoothing effect in highest resolvable frequencies. Optimizing wind farm capacities at fourteen pre-defined good wind farm site locations has a minimal improvement on the hourly fluctuations. However, choosing good combinations of the individual wind farm site locations decrease the 1–3 hourly fluctuations considerably; the optimized wind farm portfolios consist of distant wind farms, while poor portfolios consist of clustered wind farms. The 5th and 95th percentiles are 15 % less for an optimized portfolio with four wind farms compared to a poor combination of four wind farms.
Oltre i confini del dogado. L’espansione patrimoniale degli enti ecclesiastici veneziani nel Padovano (secoli IX-XIV)
Authors: Bolzonella Marco
Published: March 2022

Già a partire dal IX secolo gli enti ecclesiastici veneziani – come del resto le famiglie patrizie, legate ad essi da complessi rapporti – acquisirono beni fondiari in terraferma: il Padovano iniziò, quindi, a configurarsi come un’area di vitale importanza per la produzione e il rifornimento (attraverso il Brenta e altre vie d’acqua) di derrate agricole per la città lagunare. Fu in particolare nei secoli XII-XIV (quelli della crescita e della crisi, per Venezia come per Padova) che il fenomeno prese consistenza; ed è allora, soprattutto, che fu prodotta una documentazione molto ricca e varia. Monaci, monache, badesse, amministratori veneziani instaurarono relazioni strette, e dai mille risvolti, con la società rurale del territorio padovano (da Monselice a Bagnoli, da Piove di Sacco a Vigodarzere, da Teolo a Vigonza) ma anche con la città, ove acquisirono case e magazzini, e il suo ceto dirigente. La formazione e la secolare presenza di questo ‘contado invisibile’ di Venezia, già illustrate da molti studi, costituisce uno sfondo cruciale sul quale si imposta sino al Trecento il controverso, molto spesso apertamente conflittuale, rapporto di coesistenza tra Venezia e Padova conclusosi con la guerra di conquista del 1405 e l’inclusione della città antoniana nello stato da Terra.

Authors: Syed Asad Abbas Rizvi, Nadira Dayo, Jai Parkash
Published: March 2022

Mixed-methods research (MMR) is considered as most influential research since the 1990s. In recent years (2010 and onwards), there has been a growing tendency to conduct educational research using Mixed-Methods Research (MMR) worldwide. This study was designed to investigate the issues and challenges associated with the application of mixed-method research in higher education institutes. The objectives of the study were i)to find out the perceptions of faculty members regarding the application of mixed-method, ii) to find out the issues faced by faculty members in the application of Mixed-Methods research, and iii) to find out the challenges faced by faculty members regarding the application of Mxed-Methods Research. Concurrent triangulation design of mixed method was used as the design of the study. The population of the study comprises all faculty members and research students of five public sector universities. Using purposive sampling, 62 faculty members from departments of education of five public sector universities using mixed-method research were selected as samples. A tailor-made questionnaire and an interview were used as data collection tools. The percentage was used to analyze the quantitatce data, while thematic analysis was done for analysis of interview data. The study's findings revealed that faculty members have serious issues about the  understanding of mixed-methods research like not being aware of the concerns related to internal and external validity, and limited expertise in data mixing and interpretation of mixed data. It was also found that faculty members faced many challenges, including an understanding of the term Mixed-Methods and triangulation, improper training, and less academic and professional support provided to faculty members. Besides, the most crucial challenge was the unavailability of previous research on this pattern to use as a model. Based on these findings, it is recommended that appropriate training might be provided to faculty members, and mixed-method research courses should be included in teachers’ training programs.

A Tree-Adaptation Mechanism for Covariate and Concept Drift
Authors: da Silva Felipe , Cobe Raphael , Vicente Renato
Published: March 2022

Although Machine Learning algorithms are solving tasks of ever-increasing complexity, gathering data and building training sets remains an error prone, costly, and difficult problem. However, reusing knowledge from related previously-solved tasks enables reducing the amount of data required to learn a new task. We here propose a method for reusing a tree-based model learned in a source task with abundant data in a target task with scarce data. We perform an empirical evaluation showing that our method is useful, especially in scenarios where the labels are unavailable in the target task.

Long Short-Term Memory with Slower Information Decay
Authors: Turek Javier , Beckage Nicole , Vo Vy , Honey Christopher , Willke Theodore
Published: March 2022

Learning to process long-range dependencies has been a challenge for recurrent neural networks. Despite improvements achieved by long short-term memory (LSTMs), its gating mechanism results in exponential decay of information, limiting their capacity of capturing long-range dependencies. In this work, we present a power law forget gate, which instead has a slower rate of information decay. We propose a power law-based LSTM (pLSTM) based on the LSTM but with a power law forget gate. We test empirically the pLSTM on the copy task, sentiment classification, and sequential MNIST, all with long-range dependency tasks. The pLSTM solves these tasks outperforming an LSTM, specially for long-range dependencies. Further, the pLSTM learns sparser and more robust representations.
Esposizioni radiodiagnostiche in età evolutiva
Authors: Corbella daniela , Tinelli Daniela , Righini Andrea
Published: March 2022

An increase in the quantitative lifetime radiation risk in the paediatric age, correlated with an exponential rise in computed tomography (CT) examinations, has been observed worldwide. Moreover, a positive association between the exposure to radiation doses from CT and the risk of developing brain cancer and leukaemia in childhood and adolescence has been demonstrated, together with the evidence of a significant rate of inappropriate prescriptions (nearly 40%). Since a lack of awareness and a gap in knowledge about the radiological risk have been highlighted among the healthcare professionals working in the paediatric setting, which could undermine their role in justification and optimisation of imaging examinations, the implementation of strategies for reducing CT exposures is urgently needed.

Computational Intelligence Equipment Improves Economic Science Using Methods And Tools
Authors: Andrášik Ladislav
Published: March 2022

In a globalised world and in knowledge-based economies, every authentic person needs very specialised skills in economics. A special situation arises for entrepreneurs, because they have to face new demands when doing business. Mainstream economics is untrue in terms of the scientific needs of methodological and ontological approaches, also their fragmentation of the economies in question ignoring their integrity and their implicit order, using only a simple mechanical world view. Primary endosomatic economic knowledge produced in universities and research institutes can be explicated and recorded using ICT and CI for easier distribution and dissemination in a community of broad-based contemporary potential users. However, this is not sufficient for the effective survival of a national economic organism in today's complex world. The most difficult problem is to achieve rapid, high quality and efficient secondary endosomatic knowledge creation by all potential users, i.e. current users and certified experts together. This paper provides a framework for understanding the very important task of creating new economic knowledge for competitive success in a highly challenging environment, while demonstrating, through several examples, possible ways and methods for implementing fast and high quality and efficient devices, tools and methods to achieve these goals. Specifically, the author focuses general attention on devices, tools, and methods that provide advanced computational intelligence results. In this article, we do not explore the creation of new knowledge in the education system, but focus our attention on the contemporary selfcreation of new knowledge by authentic persons, aided by new emerging devices and methods primarily using ICT, the Internet, specialized software, simple computational intelligence products and services, and cognitive science tools for these purposes.
On the Nature Reasons for the Long-Term Non-Linearity of Economic Development
Authors: Andrášik Ladislav
Published: March 2022

There are several different approaches to understanding the peculiar behaviour of economies in the global economic literature. The best known of these is the business cycle theory, which we have referred to as the "conventional theory of the non-linear behaviour of economies" to better distinguish it from the others. For a typical graphical representation, the well-known sine smooth graph is usually used. There are also newer approaches using mathematical, econometric and ecological methods. However, the approach of the author of this essay differs from all others in ontological and methodological aspects. In this paper, among other things, we present an extension of Goodwin's growth cycle model, in which the capacity utilization rate is treated as a new variable in a modified Lotka-Volterra system of differential equations (1956) to the study of distribution cycles. This approach is intended to clarify the links between demand, the labour market and capital accumulation in a model in which a cyclical pattern is established between the employment rate, the profit share and the capacity utilisation rate. The resulting model is then examined qualitatively and the conditions for a limit cycle are explored. Finally, the model is tested on the US economy with quarterly data from 1967 to 2016. The model has a system of differential equations for the utilization rate, the profit share and the employment rate. The second example comes from a slight modification of the original duopoly model of Cournot. Next, in the third example, we visualize Mordechai Ezekiel's famous spider's web theorem using Excel.

Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of Nano-silica Coating on the Color and the Microleakage of Zirconia Ceramics. Materials and methods: Eighty-five specimens of commercially available Yttrium-stabilized-zirconia ceramics were constructed and divided into forty-five discs (8 mm in diameter) with thickness (1.2mm) They were divided into three groups (thermocycling – nano-silica surface treatment – and thermocycling with nano-silica surface treatment) to assess the color parameters, while the other forty samples were divided into ( control group – thermocycling – nano-silica surface treatment – and thermocycling with nano-silica surface treatment) to perform a fully contoured crowns to assess the microleakage. Initial color measurements were taken using a digital spectrophotometer based on CIE L*a*b* color system using a spectrophotometer Standard permanent molar tooth preparation was conducted into a full veneer preparation. Nano silica sol-gel material painted on the fitting surface of zirconia ceramics in groups of nano-silica and nano-silica with thermocycling surface treatment and processed to firing that were finally cemented on the prepared teeth using resin adhesive luting agent. Samples in aged group were subjected to 5000 thermal cycles then crown samples were sectioned to measure the microleakage. Color measurements of all samples were measured again.

Deep Learning is a subdivision of machine learning and Artificial intelligence (AI). Autonomous Deep learning enables human brain to think and learn computers. In recent days Deep learning is used in many domains, especially in medical field. It is used mainly in classification. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one among the best technique in DL. It is best suitable in image classifications. CNN is directed to process the data into multiple layers of arrays. It is used for computationally efficient. Brain Tumor is one of the dangerous diseases in India as well as the whole world. A brain tumor is an unwanted cell in the brain. Brain tumor symptoms are based on size, location and type .There are two types of brain tumor. Brain tumor tissue affects on the brain that is called primary tumor. Brain tumor tissue affects in outside the brain that is called as secondary tumor (metastatic).In this paper, we are analyzing various Deep Convolution Neural Network on brain tumor perspectives. Here, LeNet, AlexNet, ResNet-18, VGG Net-16 are discussed and Evaluation metrics like Accuracy, F1 score, Precision, Recall are used to identify the performance of the above techniques.

Published: March 2022

The capability to acquire knowledge on all levels improves among students when they can ably manage and handle their social as well as emotional aspects of their lives. Therefore, SEL (Teaching Social / Emotional Learning), should be an integral part of secondary education which will increase student’s academic performance and at the same time passively groom them to face the challenges which will keep posing them lifelong and give them a scope of learning more in the volatile world environment. The previous literature reviews advocate that there is a consistent general improvement in student behaviour and learning wherever established SEL programs is implemented. Furthermore, regular sessions of compassion for members of the society which are important element of SEL when combined into education at secondary level, a marked decrease of violence and absenteeism rates is observed, at the same time it improves student relations, focus and academic education. Therefore, teacher credential programs are recommended.
