Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry and Steepest Descent Inversion Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry and Steepest Descent Inversion
Authors: Kingston Samuel , Ellis Hunter , Saleh Mashad , Benoit Evan , Edun Ayobami , Furse Cynthia , Scarpulla Michael , Harley Joel
Published: April 2021

In this paper, we present a method for estimating complex impedances using reflectometry and a modified steepest descent inversion algorithm. We simulate spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR), which can measure complex impedances on energized systems for an experimental setup with resistive and capacitive loads. A parametric function, which includes both a misfit function and stabilizer function, is
created. The misfit function is a least squares estimate of how close the model data matches observed data. The stabilizer function prevents the steepest descent algorithm
from becoming unstable and diverging. Steepest descent iteratively identifies the model parameters that minimize the parametric function. We validate the algorithm by correctly identifying the model parameters (capacitance and resistance) associated with simulated SSTDR data, with added 3 dB white Gaussian noise. With the stabilizer function, the steepest descent algorithm estimates of the model parameters are bounded within a specified range. The errors for capacitance (220pF to 820pF) and resistance (50 Ω to 270 Ω) are < 10%, corresponding to a complex impedance magnitude |R +1/jωC| of 53 Ω to 510 Ω.

Authors: Zhu Zhaojun , Yang Ke , Ren Xiufeng , Cao Lu
Published: April 2021

This work presents a series of independent bandpass filters (BPFs) based on dual-mode resonators (DMRs) with short stub-loaded. BPFs conform to the 802.11n protocol and include three passbands with center frequencies and bandwidths of 2.46 GHz, 3.55 GHz and 5.22 GHz, 130 MHz, 130 MHz and 470 MHz. Insertion loss and reflection loss are 1.5 dB, 1.6 dB and 1.3 dB, 18 dB, 20 dB, 30 dB. The filters are useful in the WLAN/WIMAX applications with compact size. According to the current distributions along the resonator, the feed-lines with high design flexibility arms were introduced in order to supply the needed external coupling for the dual-/tri passbands simultaneously, and
achieve good impedance matching in each passband. Finally, by the version 15 of High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), three BPFs with single, dual and triple passbands were designed on the Rogers 5880 substrate with the relative dielectric constant Ɛr = 2.2,
substrate loss tanδ = 0.002, and the thickness h = 0.508 mm. The BPFs are measured by Agilent 85058E Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). The measured results have good agreement with the simulated ones.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Endovenous cyanoacrylate glue (CAG) ablation for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and varicose veins has shown non-inferior outcomes with an excellent safety profile, high patient satisfaction rate, and excellent efficacy when compared to the gold standard of endothermal ablation. A review of the current literature for CAG use in CVI showed that most studies and longer-term data are from Caucasian-based populations, which are subject to different anatomical venous variations and socio-economical contexts. This review aimed to gather the current evidence for CAG use in Asian CVI patients. Methods: Asian studies for the use of CAG in CVI were included in this review. Successful ablation rates, quality of life improvement and novel complications such as glue hypersensitivity reactions are described, along with anatomical descriptions of superficial venous anatomy in study patients. Use of CAG in Singapore and Asia was addressed. Results: CAG has been gaining traction as an option for CVI treatment in Asians. In Singapore, it has been adopted with comparable low complication rates and significant improvement of quality of life after treatment. As we increase our understanding of the variations in venous anatomy in the Asian population, new techniques such as retrograde deployment of the device and use of CAG ablation for venous leg ulcers have been developed. Conclusion: Further robust evidence in terms of large randomised control trials along with costeffectiveness studies are needed to determine the true value of CAG ablation in the Asian setting.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (B-CPR) is associated with improved out-ofhospital cardiac arrest survival. Community-level interventions including dispatcher-assisted CPR (DA-CPR) and myResponder were implemented to increase B-CPR. We sought to assess whether these interventions increased B-CPR. Methods: The Singapore out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry captured cases that occurred between 2010 and 2017. Outcomes occurring in 3 time periods (Baseline, DA-CPR, and DA-CPR plus myResponder) were compared. Segmented regression of time-series data was conducted to investigate our intervention impact on the temporal changes in B-CPR. Results: A total of 13,829 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases were included from April 2010 to December 2017. Higher B-CPR rates (24.8% versus 50.8% vs 64.4%) were observed across the 3 time periods. B-CPR rates showed an increasing but plateauing trend. DA-CPR implementation was significantly associated with an increased B-CPR (level odds ratio [OR] 2.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.79–2.88; trend OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.04), while no positive change was detected with myResponder (level OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.82–1.11; trend OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.98–1.00). Conclusion: B-CPR rates in Singapore have been increasing alongside the implementation of community-level interventions such as DA-CPR and myResponder. DA-CPR was associated with improved odds of receiving B-CPR over time while the impact of myResponder was less clear.

La revisión sistemática exploratoria contó con diez documentos relacionados con el fútbol para personas con amputaciones. Los documentos existentes relacionados con la temática son escasos como consecuencia de la falta de evolución de esta modalidad. Estos manuscritos, en su mayoría, tratan aspectos como la fuerza y la resistencia. Además, un sólo documento habla de la utilización de dispositivos inerciales en sus mediciones. Por tanto, surge la necesidad de realizar nuevas investigaciones en el ámbito de fútbol para personas con amputaciones.
Abstract. The study aims to review the scientific evidence related to football for amputees. For the reference search, the following keywords were used as descriptors: “Football” and “Amputee”. The terms were entered in English in the following computerized databases: SPORTDiscus, PUBMED, Web of Science and SCOPUS, considering all the documents published up to September 2020. To limit the search, four inclusion criteria were introduced: 1) Select documents available in full text or with abstract, 2) Have enough relevant information about soccer for amputees (Minimum 50 words), 3) Provide information related to the physical condition, training, injuries and / or social aspects of the players of soccer for people with amputations, and 4) Be written in Spanish, English or Portuguese. The exploratory systematic review featured ten football related documents for amputees. The existing documents related to the subject are scarce as a consequence of the lack of evolution of this modality. These manuscripts, for the most part, deal with aspects such as strength and endurance. Furthermore, only one document talks about the use of inertial devices in their measurements. Therefore, there is a need for further research in the field of football for amputees.

Enhanced Oil Recovery: Projects Planning Strategy in Angolan Oilfields
Authors: Ramos Geraldo Andre Raposo , Yates Kyari
Published: April 2021

Hydrocarbon exploration in Angola commenced in 1910 with its first oil recovered in 1955. The proven reserves in Angola are estimated to reach up to 13 billion barrels (2.1 billion m3). Most of the Angolan oil fields are mature or maturing and some are or may be abandoned due to unprofitable recovery limit beyond the conventional type of oil production. The oil recovery is mainly by primary and secondary recovery methods. Apart from the issue of maturity, there is increasing energy demand due to population growth and difficulties in discovering and developing new fields as alternatives to the current oil fields. For incremental and sustained production rate of these fields and in addition to instability of oil prices and concerns about future oil supply, Angola has started to work towards developing affordable and efficient technologies capable of recovering residual oil in reservoirs as well as extend the life of many current fields which can be achieved through the implementation of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Therefore, this paper discusses the EOR planning strategy from project selection, project implementation and optimization, and field abandonment. It further highlights the mutual benefits that may be derived from a cross-collaboration between the government and other stakeholders in Angola.
Effects of the Simplification in the Geometry of a Cyclone Test Facility on the Swirling Flow: a CFD Study
Authors: Balestrin Evandro , Koerich Decker Rodrigo , Schranmm Câmara Bastos Jaci Carlo , Meier Henry França
Published: April 2021

A study about the influence of geometry simplification on the swirling flow of a cyclone was performed by comparing CFD results with experimental data. The numerical results were obtained by solving the mass and momentum equations with the Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) for the turbulence closure. On other hand, the experimental data were obtained in the literature, the authors used the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique to measure the velocity fields and a differential manometer to measure the pressure drop. In this work, different test facility geometries configurations were simulated: the complete test facility; and others with some simplifications downstream and upstream of the cyclone. The boundary condition for both numerical and experimental analysis was performed with inlet velocity in 10.5 and 12.25 m/s. Results showed a decrease in the gas vortex velocity in the cyclone center when simplifications in the test facility geometry are made. These bring significant consequences in the performance parameters, like almost 20% in the pressure drop values.

The gas produced by gasification is more versatile than the original solid biomass and can be applied as raw material for chemical industry and as fuel for the electrical and thermal energy production. Small gasification plants are being considered as an option for electrical energy generation in remote areas where agriculture wastes can be found easily. In this way, the aim of this work was to evaluate the characteristics of the gas composition of co-gasification using pine pellets and blends with agricultural wastes. The experiments were carried out in duplicate in a pilot scale fixed bed downdraft gasifier, GEK Power Pallet 20kW. It was performed experimental runs with 100 % pine pellets, 80 % pine pellets and 20 % agriculture wastes, and 80 % pine pellets with 15.4 % agriculture wastes and 4.6 % of glycerol used as an agglutinant agent. The samples were analyzed by GC-FID/TCD. The moisture of different feedstocks varied between 8.00 and 10.88.   The results of the produced gas show an average composition of 37.45% CO and  15.79% H2, and LHV 7,155 kJ/kg for gasification of 100 % pine pellets. While the mixture of pine pellets and agriculture wastes resulted in a gas with 32.13% CO and 20.10% H2, and LHV of 6,663.4 kJ/kg. When added glycerol, the gas composition to CO was 20.52 % and to H2 11.21 % with LHV of 4,507.4 kJ/kg.  The results indicate that the gasifier is compatible with the mixture of agricultural residues and pines pellets in co-gasification.

Gamificação, aplicação de mecanismos de jogos em tarefas rotineiras, é definida por sua proposta de transformar a experiência cotidiana em um jogo, com o intuito de motivar reações positivas sobre tarefas, podendo relacionar recompensas físicas ou virtuais à efetivação delas, assim podendo despertar engajamento entre os participantes (VIANNA et al, 2013). Como parte do processo de levantamento de dados para o desenvolvimento do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid) – subprojeto de inglês, foram aplicados 102 questionários a discentes do Colégio Estadual Jackson de Figueiredo, escola pública onde atuamos como bolsistas de iniciação à docência e de coordenação de área. As respostas obtidas mostraram que seria interessante implementar práticas de gamificação nas aulas de inglês desta escola pública. Decidiu-se então pela realização de uma competição (gincana), por se adequar aos conceitos de gamificação e possibilitar uma prática que também dialogava com os conteúdos já planejados pelo professor da escola. Este texto é um relato prático-reflexivo sobre o ensino de inglês que ocorreu no âmbito do Pibid, tendo como foco a gamificação, a qual mostrou-se uma ferramenta capaz de transformar a relação entre os alunos da escola e o ensino de inglês naquele contexto.

Authors: Садвокасов Асет Багдатович
Published: April 2021

В 2020 году прошло шесть лет со дня подписания Договора об образовании Евразийского экономического союза. Несмотря на столь малый срок, уже сейчас можно отметить существенные успехи в построении эффективного экономического интеграционного объединения. Ведущую роль в построении результативного союза сыграла иерархическая система управления, пронизывающая межгосударственные структуры нитью равенства и паритетности. Немаловажную роль сыграло структурированное законодательство и кодифицированные нормы права, устанавливающие единые правила для всех хозяйствующих субъектов. В статье рассматриваются основные источники права Евразийского экономического союза, разбираются субъекты, уполномоченные на принятие наднациональных правовых актов, анализируется процесс принятия норм права в Евразийском экономическом союзе, а также делается акцент на значительной роли Суда Евразийского экономического союза в построении межгосударственного союза. В этих целях, в статье рассмотрена судебная практика Суда Европейского Союза в совокупности с судебной практикой Суда Евразийского экономического союза для повышения состоятельности темы. Далее анализируются вопросы информационного обеспечения деятельности Евразийского экономического союза, а также делается вывод о необходимости проведения оценки эффективности экономического объединения для общества.

Authors: Жақыпбек А. А. , Аширов Ш. А.
Published: April 2021

В статье дается теоретический обзор социальной эксклюзии пожилых людей на примере Европейских и российских моделей, которые на наш взгляд дополняют друг друга. Российская теоретическая модель социальной эксклюзии включает в себя следующие компоненты: социально-экономическая (материальная) депривация, депривация социальных прав (доступ к социальным институтам и услугам), депривация безопасности (безопасная среда), депривация социального участия, культурная (нормативная) дезинтеграция и социальный аутизм. Эти компоненты и показатели специфичны для группы людей в пенсионном возрасте, которые априори являются группой, потенциально подверженному риску социальной эксклюзии. Актуальность темы статьи обусловлена неэффективными сторонами процессов изоляции, происходящих в современном мире. Определив, как процесс изоляции влияет на жизнь пожилых людей касаясь их здоровье, стиль жизни, это позволит создать модель социальной эксклюзии среди пожилых людей. В статье рассматривается европейская модель социальной эксклюзии пожилых людей. Там делается акцент на социальную изоляцию пожилых людей в нескольких областях: здравоохранение и доступ к медицинскому обслуживанию, бедность и материальные лишения, жилищные и местные условия, окружающая среда и межличностные отношения. Теоретический анализ российских и европейских моделей социальной эксклюзии пожилых людей, отраженных в статье, помогла заложить стену казахстанской модели в этой области.

Smith predictor-based PI control of a wet granulation process
Authors: Shaqarin Tamir
Published: April 2021

The need for prediction and reference updating in feedback control of a wet granulation process is addressed. The granulation process is often
modeled as a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) linear model with dead-time. Industrial implementation of granulation process poses strict
constraints on the process inputs & outputs. The presence of dead-time and the physical necessity of the input-output constraints are the key
challenges of the wet granulation control. These challenges motivated the use of model predictive control (MPC) for such processes. In this
work, a Smith predictor-based proportional-integral (PI) controller is designed for the dead-time compensation. Accompanied with the reference
updating method to handle the physical constraints. The regulation and reference tracking control problems are assessed via closed-loop
simulations of the wet granulation model. The ability of the proposed control approach of dead-time compensation and coping with input/output
constraints is rigorously proved. The current approach is compared to MPC of a similar granulation process and found superior in terms of
output stability, performance and reference tracking.

Published: April 2021

Physical Education is an old age concept, considered to be the first form of communication and was used by the primitive men for survival. With the advancement of time physical education has become a full fledge professional and an integral part of education of human beings. In the 21st century physical education contribution towards the society and national building is very significant and praise worth. Physical education uses physical activity, sports and game and exercise as a medium to not only nurture the social values and attributes in the youth but also play an important role in preventing lifestyle disease of 21st century. Physical activity and sports helps in imparting leadership, comradeship and good human values in the children and promotes health and wellness of the citizens. National harmony among the citizens and international peace can be achieved through sports and physical activities. Therefore it can be established that physical education plays a pivotal role in society and nation building. This review provides an overview of the existing literature on school-aged children’s and youth’s (i.e. 6- to 18-year-olds) personal and social development within the context of physical education and sports. A total of 4359 non-duplicate articles were retrieved from six databases. After the title, abstract and full text screening, 88 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included for further analysis. The 88 studies used several study designs, methods and instruments to investigate a variety of concepts related to personal and social development. Concepts were grouped into the following 11 themes: work ethic; control and management; goal-setting; decision-making; problem-solving; responsibility; leadership; cooperation; meeting people and making friends; communication; and prosocial behaviour. The main findings for each of the 11 themes are reported, and limitations and implications are provided to guide researchers and practitioners in their future work.
Determination of Level of Service for bus transit using method of successive interval scaling in Mumbai City
Authors: Khanday Suhail Ahmad
Published: April 2021

Study of commuters’ attitude towards public transport and their perception of existing service quality for different service attribute of public transport have gained immense importance for determining appropriate public transport service level. In this context, level of service (LOS) is identified as a vital tool to measure service quality, as per users’ perception, ranging from LOS A to LOS F which denotes ‘the best’ to ‘worst’ levels. However, the LOS existing benchmarks are defined as per the expert’s judgment. Method of ‘Successive Interval Scaling’ is used to develop LOS values for bus service as per users’ perception which converts ordered categorical scale into an interval scale. Service attributes are selected which are considered important for bus transit and LOS for each attribute is evaluated based on users’ opinion. The results obtained in this study for the city of Mumbai highlights the difference in LOS values between users’ perception and experts’ opinion given by Ministry of Urban Development in India (MoUD), India and the Transit Capacity & Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM).
Cross-docks scheduling with multiple doors using fuzzy approach
Authors: Movassaghi Mitra
Published: April 2021

One of the most important practices in logistics is Cross-Docking which sets its goals as inventory reduction and customer satisfaction increase. Customers receive goods through docks. Docks are responsible to provide a place for goods before being delivered to the customers. Then, these materials are directly loaded into outbound trucks with little or no storage in between to send to customers in the shortest possible time. This paper is mainly aimed at introducing a mixed integer, non-linear programming model to solve scheduling several cross-docking problems. The proposed model is highly facilitated to allocate the most optimal destinations to storage doors and truck scheduling in docks while selecting the collection and delivery routes. Using optimization approaches at uncertainty conditions is also of great importance. Mathematical programming techniques vividly fail to solve transportation problems that include fuzzy objective function coefficients. A fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model is proposed to solve the transportation decision-making with fuzzy objective function coefficients.
Multi-route choice modelling in a metropolitan context: A comparative analysis using Multinomial Logit and Fuzzy Logic based approaches
Authors: Dhulipala Sowjanya
Published: April 2021

Route choice plays a vital role in the traffic assignment and network building, as it involves decision making on part of riders. The vagueness in travellers’ perceptions of attributes of the available routes between any two locations adds to the complexities in modelling the route choice behaviour. Conventional Logit models fail to address the uncertainty in travellers’ perceptions of route characteristics (especially qualitative attributes, such as environmental effects), which can be better addressed through the theory of fuzzy sets and linguistic variables. This study thus attempts to model travellers’ route choice behaviour, using a fuzzy logic approach that is based on simple and logical ‘if-then’ linguistic rules. This approach takes into consideration the uncertainty in travellers’ perceptions of route characteristics, resembling humans’ decision-making process. Three attributes – travel time, traffic congestion, and road-side environment are adopted as factors driving people’s choice of routes, and three alternative routes between two typical locations in an Indian metropolitan city, Surat, are considered in the study. The approach to deal with multiple routes is shown by analyzing two-wheeler riders’ (e.g. motorcyclists’ and scooter drivers’) route choice behaviour during the peak-traffic time. Further, a Multinomial Logit (MNL) model is estimated, to enable a comparison of the two modelling approaches. The estimated Fuzzy Rule-Based Route Choice Model outperformed the conventional MNL model, accounting for the uncertain behaviour of travellers.
Sharing of trips before electrification of fleet: a costeffective solution for reducing the environmental impact of urban freight transport in developing countries
Authors: Dhonde Bhavesh
Published: April 2021

Various research efforts are undertaken to reduce the ill-effects of urban freight transport on the city’s environment. Replacing conventional freight vehicles with electric commercial vehicles (ECVs) is considered as the most effective solution; however, this transition is facing several technological and infrastructural challenges. In developing countries, where cities are already struggling to manage with their present infrastructure, they would find it even more difficult. This paper highlights the opportunity for sharing of in-use freight vehicles as an immediate solution to reduce vehicular emissions. Case study of Surat city, India is taken to assess the use of small-sized commercial vehicles for urban freight transport. A detailed study has been carried out to determine the extent of under-utilized or unutilized capacities of these vehicles. Reductions in emissions due to the sharing of trips are estimated. Propositions are made to strategize and develop policies that promote sharing of urban freight trips.

Published: April 2021

El comercio electrónico ha sido un modelo de negocio de mucha importancia dentro de la pandemia del Covid-19. En Ecuador este modelo aún no se ha asentado del todo debido a que el cliente aún desconfía por las estafas o desconoce cómo navegar en sitios online, y mantiene la costumbre de las compras presenciales, entre otros motivos; sin embargo, a partir de la pandemia, el e-commerce se convirtió en la vía para realizar las transacciones de compra-venta de los ecuatorianos. Por tanto, es necesario conocer cómo se ha desarrollado el comercio electrónico en el marco de la Covid-19. Para ello se utiliza datos bibliográficos como los informes de la Cámara de Comercio Electrónica del Ecuador (CECE), como fuente principal de la situación actual de los comercios online en Ecuador. La investigación concluye con dos puntos de vista: los clientes y las empresas. Por parte de los clientes, tuvieron que realizar compras online por miedo al contagio y a las restricciones de movilización dispuestas por las autoridades. Entre los productos más adquiridos estaban los de alimentación y salud. En cambio, las empresas sufrieron más al inicio de la pandemia por el poco o casi nulo flujo de personas. Para cambiar esa situación, tuvieron que adaptar su negocio a uno digital, usando tanto redes sociales como servicios de mensajería con la finalidad de poder realizar sus ventas y no tener pérdidas.
