Hybrid controller of magnetorheological semi-active seat suspension system for both shock and vibration mitigation
Authors: Bai Xian-Xu ‘Frank’ , Yang Sen
Published: April 2019

The impact caused by the detonation of landmines and improvised explosive devices may directly lead to spine fracture and injury of seated occupants on special vehicles. The vibration transmitted from the uneven road surface is another important factor affecting ride comfort/health, on the other hand. Aiming at minimizing the injury to spine and “discomfort” due to the shock and vibration from the terrain or blast, a magnetorheological (MR) energy absorber (EA)–based semi-active seat suspension system for both shock and vibration mitigation is proposed and investigated in this article. The proposed MR semi-active seat suspension system consists of a coil spring supporting the seat and the occupant, a MREA, and a fail-safe EA rod. The dynamic model of the MR semi-active seat suspension system with a 4-degree-of-freedom lumped-parameter model for seated occupant is established. A concept of integrated hybrid controller combining strategies for shock and vibration control is proposed and designed. The hybrid controller employs the skyhook control strategy to achieve vibration control and the “soft-landing” control strategy to achieve shock control, and it switches between the two control strategies according to the system dynamic states. Based on the real-time velocity of the seat, the motion process of the “vehicle-seat-human” system can be pre-judged, and the critical point for switching the two control strategies can be determined. A feedforward control strategy based on a hysteresis model with a resistor-capacitor (RC) operator is proposed and realized to high-efficiently output desired damping force of the hybrid controller from the employed MREA. Sequentially, both ride comfort (i.e. vibration control) and vertical safety (i.e. shock control) of the MR semi-active seat suspension system are analyzed and evaluated under different excitations.
Is it me or the music? Stress reduction and the role of regulation strategies and music
Authors: Baltazar Margarida , Västfjäll Daniel , Asutay Erkin , Koppel Lina , Saarikallio Suvi
Published: April 2019

Music is a common resource for the regulation of emotions, moods, and stress. This study aimed at determining the individual and relative impact on stress reduction of two of the main factors involved in musical affect regulation: regulation strategies and music itself. The current study took place in an experimental setting and followed a factorial within-subjects design. First, the participants ( n = 34) filled in an online survey where they identified their self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” music examples for the purpose of reducing stress and self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” strategies for the same purpose. In the lab they went through a stress induction procedure and then were instructed to calm down. They did so by listening to their “adequate”/“inadequate” music and employing the “adequate”/“inadequate” strategy, depending on the experimental condition. The primary outcome measure was self-reported tension, complemented by self-reported energy and valence, skin conductance levels (SCL), startle blink amplitudes, and risk aversion. The results showed that both music and strategy had a strong significant effect on the self-reported tension. Additionally, music had strong significant effects on energy, valence, SCL, and risk aversion. Pairwise comparisons revealed that the condition “adequate strategy-adequate music” was consistently more beneficial for stress reduction than condition “inadequate strategy-inadequate music”. However, it did not outperform all the other conditions, nor did the “inadequate strategy-inadequate music” underperform all the others. Moreover, close inspection of the results showed a larger impact of music on the short-term outcomes of self-regulation in comparison to strategy. These findings suggest that successful affective regulation depends on the adequacy of the chosen strategies and music, but that music is more determinant for the affective outcomes in the short term. The results are discussed considering previous research and the implications for the understanding of musical affect regulation are explored.
The Role of Antioxidants in the Treatment of Congenital CMV‐Related Hearing: A Case‐Control Study
Authors: McCrary Hilary , del Calvo Veronica , Purser Jeremy , Casazza Geoff , Park Albert
Published: April 2019

Objective

Antioxidants have been used as a therapeutic measure for several causes of hearing loss, and this study aims to examine the use of antioxidants in children with congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV)–related hearing loss.

Study Design

Case‐control study.

Setting

Academic pediatric hospital.

Subjects and Methods

A retrospective chart review of pediatric patients with cCMV‐related hearing loss treated with and without antioxidants (vitamins A, C, and E and magnesium, known as ACE‐Mg) was completed. The primary end point was the mean change in hearing thresholds for the right and left ears after therapy. An evaluation of the mean change in thresholds was evaluated at the following frequencies: 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, and 4000 Hz. A 2‐sample t test and multiple linear regression were used to evaluate the data.

Results

A total of 78 children with cCMV‐related hearing loss were included in the study, of whom 10 were treated with antioxidants. The average amount of time in which antioxidants were taken was 387 days. When comparing cases and controls, there was no differences in the mean change of hearing thresholds at each frequency for both the right and left ears (P >. 05). Length of antioxidant therapy and age at which therapy was initiated had no effect on hearing scores (P >. 05).

Conclusions

Oxidative stress plays a role in the pathogenesis of cCMV‐related hearing loss. ACE‐Mg is a safe adjuvant therapy for the treatment of hearing loss in children; however, this study demonstrates no hearing‐related benefit from ACE‐Mg antioxidant therapy.

Checklist of Indian Lebiinae Bonelli, 1810 (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Authors: SHIJU RAJ T. , SABU THOMAS K.
Published: April 2019

Distribution patterns and literature details of 263 Lebiinae species reported from India are provided. List includes 14 species missed out by Andrewes (1930a) and the 98 species described thereafter. Distribution patterns revealed among the 263 species, 104 species are exclusively Oriental species and 35 species are exclusively Palaearctic species. Among the 263 Indian speceis, 130 species are exclusively Indian species with reports only from the Indian subcontinent and one species with report only from Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Of the 130 Indian species,  89 species are recorded from the Oriental, 27 species from the Palaearctic and 14 species recorded from both Oriental and Palaearctic regions in India. Among the 129 Indian subcontinent species, 45 species are endemics to the three global hotspots of the biodiversity in India with 31 species endemic to the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka hotspot of biodiversity; six species endemic to the Eastern Himalayas hotspot of biodiversity; eight species endemic to the Indo-Burma hotspot of biodiversity; four species recorded only from Chota Nagpur plateu and 27 species recorded only from Indian Himalayas. Four species (Microlestes parvati, Singilis indicus, S. squalidus and Lebia cardoni) recorded only from Chota Nagpur plateu and the 31 endemic species from the Western Gahts and Sri Lanka are of special interest for their Gondwana relationships. 133 species have wider geographic distribution pattern with 15 species having distribution in Oriental and Indian regions; 8 species having distribution in Palaeractic and Indian regions; 10 species having distribution in Oriental and Indo-Australian regions; 48 species with distribution in Oriental and Palaearctic regions; 29 species with distribution in Oriental, Indo-Australian and Palaearctic regions; 2 species with distribution in Oriental, Australian and Palaearctic regions; 6 species with distribution in Oriental, Palaearctic and Afrotropical regions; 9 species with distribution in Oriental, Indo-Australian, Australian and Palaearctic regions; and 6 species with random distributions in different regions. Distribution records indicate that the arrival/origin of 228 species- 137 species with wider geographic distribution outside India and the 91 species with Indian distribution and not endemics to the Western Ghats and the Chotanagpur Plateau- is likely to have occurred after the joining of Indian subcontinent with Asian continent and during the subsequent faunal exchange between the newly formed Indian subcontinent and the surrounding regions (Indo-Burma and Indo-China on the north east front; Mediterranean and Ethiopian regions on the north-western front; Central Asian elements on the northern front). These 228 species represent the younger Indian Lebiinae species compared to the 35 species representing the older/ancient species with Gondwana land origin. Key words: Carabidae, Lebiinae, Perigonini, Pentagonicini, Odacanthini, Cyclosomini, Lebiini, India
Scale Characteristics and Effects on Spatial Variability of Soil Available Nutrients
Authors: Zhao Gengxing , Dong Chao , Chen Xiaona , Su Baowei
Published: April 2019

Abstract.

The spatial variability of farmland soil nutrients on different scales is important for farming as it forms the basis for the efficient utilization of soil nutrients and precision fertilization. Survey points were distributed throughout the study area on three different scales (county, field, and block). Research on the scale effect of the spatial variability of available nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), and available potassium (AK) involved a combination of classical statistics, geostatistics, and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Results indicated that the three kinds of nutrients presented moderate variation intensity on the three scales. All of the nutrients tested exhibited strong spatial autocorrelation, indicating that spatial variability was primarily affected by structural factors, including climate, soil type and topography. As the sampling scale decreased, the nutrients showing weak variation at the large scale exhibited great variation at the small scale; the spatial autocorrelation of these three nutrients first became greater and then weakened; the distance of the spatial autocorrelation shortened gradually. Furthermore, the patch density value of the soil nutrient map increased, which indicated that the distribution of nutrients tended to be more fragile. When combined, sampling methods on the multi-scale allowed us to obtain real and systematic soil information. This study explored scale characteristics and the effects of spatial variability with regards to the primary nutrients available on farmland and provided a theoretical basis to effectively understand the nutrient status of regional farmland and improve the efficacy of soil sampling. Keywords: Multi-scale, Geostatistics, Patch density, Fractal dimension, Kriging interpolation.

ResumoO tema da violência contra as mulheres, seja de forma física, ou, conforme Pierre Bourdieu (2004), "simbólicaâ€, está presente em textos literários. Na análise de contos do livro "Contos de amor rasgados" (1986), da autora Marina Colasanti, é possível observar a representação dessa violência, pois a mulher é representada em alguns momentos apenas como pano de fundo, e em outros é enfraquecida, passiva, sujeitada ao desejos/favores de seu marido/amante, justificando parte da expressão "amor rasgadoâ€, expressão que metaforiza as relações de amor que não deram certo, e essa metáfora é confirmada na medida em que os contos têm personagens masculino e feminino em constante situação de confronto. A análise aqui apresentada parte dos estudos de Zilbermann a respeito da Estética da Recepção como metodologia de leitura e apreciação do texto literário e do Método Recepcional das autoras Bordini e Aguiar (1993). Palavras-chave: Contos. Mulher. Violência. Estética da Recepção. MARINA COLASANTI AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THEÂ WORK TALES OF RIPEN LOVEAbstract The issue of violence against women, whether in physical form or, as Pierre Bourdieu (2004), "symbolic", is present in literary texts. In the book of short stories analysis, "ripped Love Stories" (1986) by Marina Colasanti, you can see the representation of violence. Sometimes women are represented as a backdrop, and in others it is weak, passive, subjected to the desires / favors from husband / lover, explaining part of the expression "torn love," by which a metaphor for the love relationships did not work, and this metaphor is confirmed in tales that male andÂ female characters are in constant confrontation. It is an analysis proposed on Zilbermann studies about the Aesthetics of Reception as reading methodology and appreciation of the literary text and Recepcional method of Bordini authors and Aguiar (1993).Keywords: Tales.

Influence of Tool Tilt Angle on Material Flow and Defect Generation in Friction Stir Welding of AA2219
Authors: Meshram Suresh , Reddy Madhusudhan
Published: April 2019

Heat treatable aluminium alloy AA2219 is widely used for aerospace applications, welded through gas tungsten and gas metal arc welding processes. Welds of AA2219 fabricated using a fusion welding process suffers from poor joint properties or welding defects due to melting and re-solidification. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process and hence free from any solidification related defects. However, FSW also results in defects which are not related to solidification but due to improper process parameter selection. One of the important process parameters, i.e., tool tilt angle plays a critical role in material flow during FSW, controlling the size and location of the defects. Effect of tool tilt angle on material flow and defects in FSW is ambiguous. A study is therefore taken to understand the role of tool tilt angle on FSW defects. Variation in temperature, forces, and torque generated during FSW as a result of different tool tilt angles was found to be responsible for material flow in the weld, controlling the weld defects. An intermediate tool tilt angle (1o-2o) gives weld without microscopic defect in 7 mm thick AA2219 for a given set of other process parameters. At this tool tilt angle, x-force, and Z- force is balanced with viscosity and the material flow strain rate sufficient for the material to flow and fill internal voids or surface defects in the weld.

To study the rules of interference and protective measures on buried pipelines of high-voltage direct current (HVDC), the influence of different factors, including current into soil, soil resistance, damaged rate of coatings, and electrode-to-pipe distance, on pipe-to-soil potential deviation were simulated. Based on the simulated results, the fitted equations and interference judgment pattern were also obtained. The protective measures of insulation and cathodic protection can be performed for buried pipelines to prevent the interference, but the cathodic protection in the isolated area may become the stray current source of the other pipe section. This study can provide suggestions for the evaluation of interference and protective measures of pipelines of HVDC.
Quantitative analysis and modeling of line edge roughness in near-field lithography: toward high pattern quality in nanofabrication

Published: April 2019

Quantitative analysis of line edge roughness (LER) is very important for understanding the root causes of LER and thereby improving the pattern quality in near-field lithography (NFL), because LER has become the main limiter of critical dimension (CD) control as the feature size of nanostructures is scaled down. To address this challenge, the photoresist point-spread function of NFL with a contact plasmonic ridge nanoaperture can be employed to account for the physical and chemical effects involved in the LER-generation mechanism. Our theoretical and experimental results show that the sources of LER in NFL mainly come from the aerial image, material chemistry, and process. Importantly, the complicated decay characteristics of surface plasmon waves are demonstrated to be the main optical contributor. Because the evanescent mode of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and quasi-spherical waves (QSWs) decay in the lateral direction, they can induce a small image log-slope and low photoresist contrast, leading to a large LER. We introduce an analytical model and demonstrate the relationship between LER and CD to estimate the pattern quality in NFL. We expect that these results can provide alternative approaches to further improve pattern uniformity and resolution, which can lead to advanced nanopatterning results in NFL.
Rawls, Taxation and Calabresi & Melamed’s Rules
Authors: Riza Limor
Published: April 2019

The paper identifies a new rule in the tax discourse – the versatility rule. Calabresi and Melamed’s landmark article contributed to the legal discussion despite paying relatively little attention to taxation. This paper analyzes income tax, Calabresi and Melamed’s rules and Rawls’ theory, and examines whether Calabresi and Melamed’s pioneering work on liability, property and inalienability rules can be integrated into income tax discourse (and other legitimate property expropriations); and claims that these rules assist in understanding the essence of taxation. The question is analyzed from the Rawlsian perspective since his concern with the “least advantaged” and inequality in society poses a serious global challenge. The paper offers a unique analysis by showing that in the tax field all rules protect the same entitlement at the same time against the same entity – the government. This concurrent implementation of Calabresi and Melamed’s rules in taxation can only take place when taxation is understood as both “giving” and “taking”. Although the paper aims at increasing distributive goals, it appears that efficient outcome is its byproduct. Integrating Calabresi and Melamed’s rules into the tax discourse via Rawls’ theory not only elucidates the versatility rule but also blurs the distinction between the protection and transfer rules, and highlights the reciprocity of the duty and right to pay taxes. Since Calabresi and Melamed’s classical work, many scholars have significantly modified the existing rules and developed new ones, such as the Solomonic entitlement and the pliability rule, though no one has thus far proposed a scenario in which all remedies simultaneously apply against the same entity.
ATM and ATR Influence Meiotic Crossover Formation Through Antagonistic and Overlapping Functions in Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Li Wei , Yanowitz Judith L
Published: April 2019

During meiosis, formation of double-strand breaks (DSBs) and repair by homologous recombination between homologs creates crossovers (COs) that facilitate chromosome segregation. CO formation is tightly regulated to ensure the integrity of this process. The DNA damage response kinases, Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and RAD3-related (ATR) have emerged as key regulators of CO formation in yeast, flies, and mice, influencing DSB formation, repair pathway choice, and cell cycle progression. The molecular networks that ATM and ATR influence during meiosis are still being resolved in other organisms. Here, we show that Caenorhabditis elegans ATM and ATR homologs, ATM-1 and ATL-1 respectively, act at multiple steps in CO formation to ultimately ensure that COs are formed on all chromosomes. We show a role for ATM-1 in regulating the choice of repair template, biasing use of the homologous chromosome instead of the sister chromatid. Our data suggest a model in which ATM-1 and ATL-1 have antagonistic roles in very early repair processing, but are redundantly required for accumulation of the RAD-51 recombinase at DSB sites. We propose that these features of ATM-1 and ATL-1 ensure both CO formation on all chromosomes and accurate repair of additional DSBs.
Effect size: a statistical basis for clinical practice
Authors: Valladares-Neto José
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE: Effect size (ES) is the statistical measure which quantifies the strength of a phenomenon and is commonly applied to observational and interventional studies. The aim of this review was to describe the conceptual basis of this measure, including its application, calculation and interpretation.RESULTS: As well as being used to detect the magnitude of the difference between groups, to verify the strength of association between predictor and outcome variables, to calculate sample size and power, ES is also used in meta-analysis. ES formulas can be divided into these categories: I – Difference between groups, II – Strength of association, III – Risk estimation, and IV – Multivariate data. The d value was originally considered small (0.20 > d ≤ 0.49), medium (0.50 > d≤ 0.79) or large (d ≥ 0.80); however, these cut-off limits are not consensual and could be contextualized according to a specific field of knowledge. In general, a larger score implies that a larger difference was detected.CONCLUSION: The ES report, in conjunction with the confidence interval and P value, aims to strengthen interpretation and prevent the misinterpretation of data, and thus leads to clinical decisions being based on scientific evidence studies.

Authors: Aiyetan Olatunji A
Published: April 2019

Construction projects differ in features and complexity to each passing decade. Therefore, control is a fundamental requirement to avoid overruns of key performance parameters. The study aims to identify influencing factors of management practices and quality of management during construction on project delivery time to mitigate their impact. The inferential statistic was used in the analysis of data for the study. The sample population consists of architects; builders; quantity surveyors; structural engineers, and clients, totalling eighty-eight (88). The metropolitan cities of five provinces constituted the geographical delimitation of the study. The provinces are Eastern Cape; Free State; Gauteng; KwaZulu-Natal, and Western Cape, while the metropolitan cities are Bloemfontein; Cape Town; Durban; Johannesburg, and Port Elizabeth. The probability sampling method was employed in the selection of architects, South African property owner's, and masters builders. While stratified sampling was used for quantity surveyors. A questionnaire survey was conducted among these stakeholders in the Building Construction Industry to access influencing factors of management style and quality of management during construction. Finding relative to management style include that set time limits, specify goals people are to accomplish and require regular reporting on progress and for quality of management during construction are effectively coordinating resources, developing an appropriate organizational structure to maintain workflow influences project delivery time  In most cases these tradesmen require supervision construction, which results in delay and attending, may drastically reduce delay on projects. Based on the finding of the study, ways to mitigate poor management style and quality of management during construction were suggested.

Justificativa e objetivos: Higienização das Mãos (HM) é uma medida simples e eficaz no combate às Infecções Relacionadas à Assistência à Saúde (IRAS). Apesar do esforço feito pelos profissionais do Serviço de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar (SCIH), o cumprimento das práticas ainda permanece baixo, geralmente inferior a 50%. Por esse motivo, este estudo objetivou avaliar as práticas de HM em três Unidades de Terapia Intensiva de um hospital privado de Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil. Método: Estudo transversal, descritivo de natureza quantitativa, realizado em três UTIs de um hospital privado de Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil. No período de julho/2016 a julho/2017 foram avaliados todos os documentos de HM do hospital de estudo, totalizando 1.100 observações in loco realizadas pelos enfermeiros do SCIH. Para análise dos dados adotou-se estatística descritiva e regressão linear utilizando o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson. Resultados: A taxa de adesão à HM variou entre 27,3 e 88,2%, com média de 47% (±16,8). O consumo de preparação alcoólica e sabonete líquido obtiveram, respectivamente, uma média de 32 e 47 ml/paciente-dia. Houve correlação positiva entre o consumo de preparação alcoólica e a taxa de adesão (r2=0,49, p=0,01). Conclusão: Os profissionais de saúde ainda necessitam de sensibilização acerca da importância da higiene de mãos para redução das IRAS. Descritores: Higiene das Mãos. Infecção hospitalar.

Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine Abhängigkeit der Erkennungsraten von der Komplexität der Signale sowie der Art der Codierung verschiedener Informationen.
Using Blended Learning in Postgraduate Applied Statistics Programs
Authors: BHOWMIK Jahar , MEYER Denny , PHILLIPS Brian
Published: April 2019

Blended learning refers to a method of teaching and learning in which some form of online learning is used in addition to the traditional on-campus/face-to-face learning experience in an integrated manner. Postgraduate Applied Statistics programs at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia adopted the blended learning paradigm almost a decade ago to accommodate an increasingly diverse student population. This paradigm allows for flexibility in design approaches, and accommodates the range of blended learning capabilities and experience of teachers and learners. The blended learning design adopted in these programs has involved the thoughtful integration of learning and teaching approaches in both on-campus, face-to-face and online/virtual learning environments by utilising the benefits of each of these environments. These programs focus on designing learning interactions across formal teaching spaces, informal learning spaces and online learning and teaching spaces. This flexible approach has been well accepted among both online and on-campus students. This paper describes the medium impact blended learning model adopted in these courses and the feedback received from students during recent study periods. The authors make the case that implementation of a successful blended learning model can enhance students’ learning experience for a mixed cohort of participants.
