An In-Memory Data-Cube Aware Distributed Data Discovery Across Clouds for Remote Sensing Big Data
Authors: Jane Chetan , Navale Vinay S
Published: August 2023

Abstract: The recent proliferation of high-resolution Earth observation data, along with the advent of open-data initiatives, has led to the availability of petabyte-scale Earth observation datasets accessible for free. However, this abundance of big data presents significant challenges for regional to global spatio-temporal analysis. The traditional approach of "downloadpreprocess-store-analyze" introduces excessive data downloading overhead and computational barriers, hindering efficient analysis. The Earth observation data cube (EODC) paradigm offers a solution by revolutionizing the storage and management of spatio-temporal RS data. Yet, the presence of multiple EODC solutions has resulted in "information silos," making the sharing and joint use of RS data across EODCs difficult.
Laser Beam Machining: A Review on Research Trend
Authors: Maurya Sharad Chandra , Singh Anurag , Verma Umesh Chandra
Published: August 2023

Abstract: Laser Beam Machining (LBM) is an advanced non-conventional machining process that employs a highly focused laser beam to remove material from a work-piece. This thermal-based process utilizes the intense energy of the laser beam to induce localized melting, vaporization, or ablation of the material, resulting in precise and controlled material removal. The process involves key components such as a laser source, optics for beam focusing, and a work-piece mounted in the machining setup. Laser beam machining offers various advantages, including high precision, non-contact nature, minimal heat-affected zone, and the capability to work with a diverse range of materials. The two primary applications of LBM are laser cutting and laser drilling. Laser cutting involves using the laser beam to cut through materials along a specified path, while laser drilling creates holes or openings in the work-piece with great accuracy. The versatility and efficiency of laser beam machining make it suitable for numerous industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical, and jewellery manufacturing. As a result of its unique capabilities and benefits, LBM continues to play a crucial role in modern manufacturing, enabling the production of intricate and complex components with high precision and quality

Many Indonesian citizens, including elementary school children, have been carried out by external developments due to increasing technological growth. They forget that the true identity of an Indonesian citizen is to love his own country. Therefore, more is needed to improve nationalism in Indonesia, which starts as early as at sd through ips study. The education materials given are about Indonesia's independence process. At the first meeting before class, children are taught to pray before and after learning to create a religious consciousness so that children realize that in the Indonesian state, there is a variety of religions and a growing love for the Indonesian state. Additionally, there are methods given during learning that are conterxtual teaching and learning (TCL) and higher order thingking skill (hots). Conterxtual teaching and learning (TCL) is a system that links learning materials to daily life, such as taking the possible values of Indonesia's independence from hard work, cooperation, and foremost nationalism and patriotism. Then, there is called higher order thinking skill (hots) which is the method of discussion students perform about taking a meaning from the Indonesian independence event. With such a method, it will add to the student's knowledge and love of the country. In addition, students become proficient at thinking critical of the learning materials. As a result of this writing was the invention of several methods and ways that a teacher can promote nationalism in elementary school students by studying ips related materials for Indonesia's independence process. Not only teachers but parents also contribute greatly to the efforts of increasing nationalistic values in their children.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of nickel-based superalloys with variations in alloy chemical compositions using the Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) method with the assistance of the pandas profiling library on Google Colab. In this study, data from 312 tensile tests of nickel-based superalloys were used as research samples, with alloy chemical compositions including carbon (C), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), vanadium (V), nitrogen (N), niobium (Nb), cobalt (Co), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), and titanium (Ti), as well as mechanical properties such as yield strength (YS), tensile strength (TS), and elongation (EL). The methodology used in this study was the EDA method with the assistance of the pandas profiling library on Google Colab, which enables the automatic creation of a dataset report, presenting information on various aspects such as data structure, descriptive statistics, correlation, distribution, and missing values. The results show that yield strength has a fairly high correlation with titanium (0.51), medium correlations with nickel (0.25), vanadium (0.2), and cobalt (0.2). Tensile strength in nickel-based superalloys has a fairly high correlation with yield strength (0.88), carbon (0.49), and cobalt (0.55), and medium correlations with titanium (0.25) and vanadium (0.25). Elongation in nickel-based superalloys has a negative and fairly high correlation with tensile strength (-0.62) and yield strength (-0.58). Some warnings for missing data and zero values in some variables were identified. These results indicate that the pandas profiling library can be used as a tool to analyze the data of mechanical properties of nickel-based superalloys quickly and easily, and provide clear information on data patterns, data structure, and correlation among data.

Published: August 2023

Untuk memasang sebuah pembangkit listrik tenaga surya (PLTS) tentunya kita harus terlebih dahulu menentukan kapasitas PLTS yang ingin kita gunakan. Hal ini dibutuhkan agar PLTS yang kita pasang sanggup atau memiliki daya yang cukup untuk mensuplai beban yang kita inginkan. Hal ini seringkali tidak diperhatikan sehingga menyebabkan PLTS yang dipasang tidak sanggup mensuplai beban secara maksimal ataupun PLTS yang ada jauh lebih besar dibanding beban yang digunakan, hal ini menyebabkan kerugian karena mengingat harga dari PLTS juga relatif mahal. Untuk mempermudah kita juga dapat menggunakan software PVSyst untuk menentukan kapasitas solar cell yang dibutuhkan beban. Tingkat intensitas cahaya matahari pada lokasi penelitian menurut aplikasi PVSyst adalah sebesar 4.5 kWh/m2/hari. Beban total pada laboratorium fakultas teknik setiap harinya adalah sebesar 36 kWh/m2. Untuk membebani total beban yang ada pada laboratorium fakultas teknik UMSU maka diperlukan PLTS dengan kapasitas 13,44 kWp yang terdiri dari 40 Unit panel surya berkapasitas 280 wp dengan bateri 100 ah sebanyak 40 unit. Untuk merealisasikan PLTS yang telah direncanakan, dapat dipasang pada roof top laboratorium fakultas teknik. Menurut software HelioScope rooftop lokasi penelitian dapat menampung PLTS hingga 99 kWp dengan luas area 1000m2

Impact of Primary Care Exception Expansion on Family Medicine Resident Billing During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Cummings Allison , Chiu Nelson , Evans David V. , Andrilla C. Holly A. , Cawse-Lucas Jeanne
Published: August 2023

Background and Objectives: The Medicare Primary Care Exception (PCE) permits indirect supervision of residents performing lower-complexity visits in primary care settings. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Medicare expanded the PCE to all patient visits regardless of complexity. This study investigates how PCE expansion changed resident billing practices at a family medicine residency during calendar year 2020. We hypothesized that residents not constrained by the PCE would bill more high-level visits.
Methods: We queried billing codes from attendings’ and residents’ established evaluation and management visits associated with the University of Washington Family Medicine Residency (UWFMR) from January to December 2020. We used χ2 tests to compare resident and attending physicians’ use of low/moderate and high-level codes by quarter.
Results: Resident high-complexity code use increased after PCE expansion in Q4 (odds ratio [OR] 3.50 [2.34-5.23]) compared to Q1. No change was observed among attending physicians (OR 1.05 [0.86-1.28]). Resident and attending billing patterns became more similar following PCE expansion.
Conclusions: With the PCE expansion, senior family medicine resident physicians at UWFMR used higher-complexity billing codes at a rate approximating that of attending physicians. The findings of this study have implications regarding the financial well-being and sustainability of primary care residency training and raise a relevant policy question about whether the PCE expansion should persist. More research is needed to determine whether these findings were replicated in other primary care residency practices, the impact on resident education, and the impact on patient outcomes.

Published: August 2023

The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection has left behind a new
symptomatology called post COVID-19. The pathophysiological mechanisms
still remain controversial; however, a link between persistent
inflammation and these sequelae has been suggested. Herein, we
longitudinally assessed up- and downstream molecules of the NLRP3
inflammasome’s pathway in three study groups: healthy donors (HC, n=14)
and donors with a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection who had been
hospitalized, the latter divided into post COVID-19 (PC, n=27) and
non-post COVID-19 patients (nPC, n=27) based on the presence or absence
of symptomatology at month 6, respectively. Plasma cytokines (IL-1β,
IL-3, IL-6, IL-8, IL-18, IP-10, MIG, TNF-α, IFN-γ, MIP-1α and MIP-1β)
and total peroxide (TPX) levels were quantified at baseline and at
months 1 and 6 after the onset of the infection. Baseline values were
the highest for both TPX and cytokines that progressively decreased
thereafter the acute infection. IL-1β, MIP-1α, and TNF-α at month 1 were
the only cytokines that show a significant difference between nPC and
PC. These findings suggest that a persistent inflammatory state one
month after the onset of SARS-CoV-2 infection related to specific
cytokines (IL-1β, MIP-1α, and TNF-α) might guide to predict post
COVID-19 symptomatology.

Objective: Determine the voiding function one year following
Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) for women with Bladder Outlet
Obstruction (BOO) and advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Additionally, identify potential risk factors contributing to persistent
voiding dysfunction (VD) after PRS. Design: Retrospective study
Setting: Tertiary Centre in Taiwan. Population: Women
who underwent PRS for POP-Q stage III-IV and had urodynamic study (UDS)
findings of BOO from January 2006 to January 2022. Methods:
Records of 1894 women underwent PRS for advanced POP reviewed. Patients
with clinically confirmed POP-Q stage III-IV and UDS findings of BOO
were included. Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome:
Resumption of normal voiding function one-year post-surgery, clinically
and via UDS. Failure: UDS diagnoses VD and BOO. Secondary outcomes:
Identify risk factors for persistent VD one-year post-surgery.
Results: Total of 431 women with POP-Q Stage III and IV, UDS of
Qmax <15 ml/s and PdetQmax ≥20cmH20 were included. Resumption
of normal voiding function were found in 91% (n=392/431), while 9%
(n=39/431) remains to have VD 1 year post operatively. Those with
persistent VD, 20.5%(n=8/39) remains having urodynamic diagnosis of
BOO. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression reveal factors
associated with post-operative VD are pre-operative maximal cystometric
capacity MCC ≧500 and post void residual PVR ≧200 had significant odds
ratios with 95% confidence intervals (Univariate: 3.1 [1.6-7.1],
2.1 [1.1-5.0]; Multivariate: 3.4 [1.6-8.4], 2.3 [1.5-6.5],
respectively). Conclusions: VD may persist in women with BOO
following PRS, particularly in those with pre-operative MCC ≥500ml and
PVR volume ≥200ml.

Published: August 2023

As the efficiency of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells is
increasing, the upscaling for industrial production is coming into
focus. Spatially resolved, quantitative, fast, and reliable contactless
measurement techniques are demanded for quality assurance and to
pinpoint the cause of performance losses in perovskite silicon tandem
solar cells. In this publication we present a measurement method based
on spectrally integrated photoluminescence (PL) imaging to extract
subcell-selective implied open-circuit ( i V oc ) images from monolithic
perovskite silicon tandem solar cells. We validate the approach using
spectrally resolved absolute PL measurements based on an integrating
sphere for the perovskite top cell and PL-calibrated carrier lifetime
images for the silicon bottom cell. Additionally, V oc measurements of
solar cells with low contact losses are used to validate the new
measurement technique. We find a good agreement of the i V oc images
with the validating measurements with a maximum deviation of well below
1 % compared to the validation measurements.
Facilitation of invasive plants by soil biota becomes negative over time in short-term
Authors: Zhang Xue , Bai Haoran
Published: August 2023

Declining enemy release predicts that invasive plants accumulated more
soil natural enemies, and the increase in enemies may inhibit growth of
invasive plants themselves. But most studies focus on historical time
rather than short-term. We designed a fully crossed factorial
experiment, we grew individuals of four congeneric pairs of invasive and
native plant species in 2.5 L pots that contained live or sterilized
field soil under two harvest time (first vs second). Results shows that
soil microbes tended to have a slight positive effect on total biomass
of the native plant species over time in short-term, while the effect of
soil microbes on invasive plants as their total biomass tended to change
from promotion to inhibition over time in short-term. Overall, these
results suggest that regardless of the direction and strength of
plant-soil feedback on invasive plant species, invasive plant species
consistently may grow larger than co-occurring native plant species over
time in short-term.

Dissolved Nitrogen Cycling in The Eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Baffin Bay from Stable Isotopic Data
Authors: Westbrook Holly C. , Bourbonnais Annie , Manning Cara C M , Tremblay Jean-Eric , Ahmed Mohamed , Else Brent Gordon Thomas , Granger Julie
Published: August 2023

Climate change is expected to alter the input of nitrogen (N) sources in
the Eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago (ECAA) and Baffin Bay due to
increased discharge from glacial meltwater and permafrost thaw. Since
dissolved inorganic N is generally depleted in surface waters, dissolved
organic N (DON) could represent a significant N source fueling
phytoplankton activity in Arctic ecosystems. Yet, few DON data for this
region exist. We measured concentrations and stable isotope ratios (δ15N
and δ18O) of DON and nitrate (NO3−) to investigate the sources and
cycling of dissolved nitrogen in regional rivers and at the sea surface
from samples collected in the ECAA and Baffin Bay during the summer of
2019. The isotopic signatures of NO3- in rivers could be reproduced in a
steady state isotopic model by invoking mixing between atmospheric NO3-
and nitrified ammonium as well as NO3- assimilation by phytoplankton.
DON concentrations were low in most rivers (≤4.9 µmol L−1), whereas the
concentrations (0.54–12 µmol L−1) and δ15N of DON (−0.71–9.6 ‰) at the
sea surface were variable among stations, suggesting dynamic cycling
and/or distinctive sources. In two regions with high chl-a, DON
concentrations were inversely correlated with chlorophyll‐an and the
d15N of DON, suggesting net DON consumption in localized phytoplankton
blooms. We derived an isotope effect of −6.9‰ for DON consumption. Our
data helps establish a baseline to assess future change in nutrient
regime for this climate sensitive region.
Impact of New Energy Vehicles on Average Fuel Consumption of BYD Auto’s Passenger Vehicles
Authors: Li Jia C.
Published: August 2023

The impact of new energy vehicles (NEV) on average fuel consumption of automakers’ passenger vehicles in China，is a question that has not been clearly addressed. In this paper, average accounting fuel consumptions and average real fuel consumptions of BYD Auto (hereinafter referred to as "BYD")’s passenger vehicles, as well as average fuel consumptions of BYD’s NEV and average fuel consumptions of BYD’s conventional energy vehicles (CEV) from 2016 to 2021, were calculated. Then the impact of production multiplier of NEV and low average fuel consumption of NEV were distinguished to reveal the path and extent of NEV’s impact on  average fuel consumption of BYD's passenger vehicles.

The results showed that, Production multiplier of NEV and low average fuel consumption of NEV are key factors by which NEV promoted the decline of average fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles. Production multiplier of NEV caused the difference between average accounting fuel consumption and average real fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles, Low average fuel consumption of NEV caused the difference between average real fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles and average fuel consumption of BYD’s CEV, and the total impact of NEV on the average accounting fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles was equal to the sum of the above two differences, which is equal to average accounting fuel consumption of BYD’s passenger vehicles minus average fuel consumption of BYD’s CEV.

Gabriel Naudé : plume prolifique nourrie par la critique et la quête encyclopédique
Authors: Manea Ioana
Published: August 2023

La carrière littéraire abondante de Gabriel Naudé s’est étendue sur à peu près trois décennies, de 1620 jusqu’aux alentours de 1650. Un thème récurrent de ses ouvrages est représenté par le « rationalisme critique1 » qui, dans plusieurs de ses écrits, l’incite à s’opposer aux idées qui participent soit de l’occultisme, soit de la contestation politique. Toujours est-il que, malgré son opposition aux idées qui animent la multitude, il plaide pour une « bibliothèque universelle2 », qui n’exclut pas les ouvrages comme ceux mentionnés auparavant. L’objectif de notre article consistera à comprendre si l’argumentation de Naudé en faveur d’une bibliothèque encyclopédique peut être réconciliée avec sa réflexion critique, qui met en question la valeur des ouvrages qui ne manquent pas d’adeptes.

Zur Ambivalenz von Mutterschaft
Authors: Wicki Eleonora
Published: August 2023

Zum Thema Mutterschaft entstand nach der Publikation der Studie #regrettingmotherhood (Donath 2015) eine öffentliche Diskussion um ambivalente Gefühle in Zusammenhang mit Mutterschaft. Der Beitrag verfolgt die These, dass diese Ambivalenz lange tabuisiert worden ist und es an entsprechendem Vokabular und an Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten fehlt. Eine sprachliche Annäherung findet indessen in der aktuellen Literatur statt. Daher werden Schilderungen der Mutterschaftserfahrung in drei europäischen Romanen untersucht: Still leben (2018) von Antonia Baum, Sight (2019) von Jessie Greengrass und Toucher la terre ferme (2022) von Julia Kerninon. Eine Analyse der literarischen Erzählungen geschieht vor dem Hintergrund des kanonischen Texts der feministischen Mutterschaftsforschung Of Woman Born von Adrienne Rich aus dem Jahr 1976 und mit Rückgriff auf Richs Methode einer Kombination aus phänomenologischer Beschreibung und theoretischer Reflexion. Aus der Interpretation der literarischen Schilderungen ergeben sich Vorschläge für Beiträge zu Neukonzeptionen in der Mutterschafts- sowie der Bildungstheorie: (1) Der Eintritt in die Mutterschaft als Erfahrung der Entfremdung der Zeit, des Raums und des Selbst, (2) Mutterwerden als Identitätsbildungsprozess, (3) Gefühle des Versagens, der Wut und des Hasses korrelieren mit gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen, (4) Mutterliebe könnte als eine Summe von Handlungen und als bedingungslose Übernahme von Verantwortung gedacht werden.

The article presents the analysis of the drive system of the electric vehicle with a six-phase induction motor. The mathematical models of the six-phase induction motor and model reference adaptive system (MRASF) estimator are presented, and the description of the voltage source inverter, space vector modulator and bidirectional buck–boost converter is shown. The direct field-oriented control (DFOC) system and the direct torque control with space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) system are analysed. Results of simulation studies of these control methods and comparative analysis are shown. The DTC-SVM method is selected as the method with the best properties, and a full model of the electric vehicle drive system is built using this method. The detailed description of the drive system of the electric vehicle with a six-phase induction motor and DTC-SVM control system and the results of simulation tests for this drive system are presented. The aim of the authors and an element of novelty is to develop and test a drive system for an electric vehicle with a six-phase induction motor, adaptive speed estimator and extensive space vector modulator.
PhET’s Photoelectric Effect Simulation: Experiments and Analysis for Classroom Practice
Authors: Pacala Frank Angelo
Published: August 2023

This paper describes the use of the PhET simulator on the photoelectric effect to explore the behavior of electrons in metal when exposed to light with differing frequencies. Using this simulation, students can be able to observe variations in electron emission when changing various parameters such as intensity or frequency of light. This paper is experimental research to test the PhET simulator on the photoelectric effect in terms of the guiding relationship in the photoelectric effect. This also analyzed the PhET simulation for improvements in classroom activities.The main tool of this research is a computer capable of running the PhET simulation. It was found that all principles of the photoelectric effect are followed by the simulation. This includes if there is an emission of electrons, the relationship between the kinetic energy of the electron and frequency, and the relationship photoelectric current and light intensity. However, it was observed that there is no work function of the metals on the simulation and this can have an effect the prediction if there is an emission or not. The graphs generated of the simulation contains error because of the thick line graph. It would be better for classroom practice if these gaps are bridged and teachers manage to adopt the simulation.
