Authors: Ed-dahmani Chafik ,   AEEE Department, National Graduate School of Arts and Crafts, Moulay Ismail University, Meknes, Morocco
Published: July 2024

This paper introduces a comprehensive Energy Management Strategy (EMS) control for a Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS) system, that includes a wind generation subsystem, a battery bank, and a variable local load. The primary objectives of the EMS control are to meet the load power demand, adapt to wind fluctuations, and extend the battery bank’s lifespan. To achieve these objectives, the EMS controller determines the operation modes of the wind generation and battery bank. The study includes a detailed design of a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for the boost converter associated with wind power generation. This study offers valuable insights into controlling standalone wind-dominated systems in remote areas, offering solutions to enhance stability by reducing voltage ripple and improving performance through optimizing settling time. Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique in managing load and wind variations, outperforming conventional PI controllers.
The Vibration Isolation Properties of an Asymmetrical Quasi-Zero Stiffness Isolator with Geometrical Nonlinear Damping
Authors: Zhang Jianrun ,   School of Mechanical Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing, China
Published: July 2024

This paper proposes a Quasi-Zero-Stiffness (QZS) vibration isolator with asymmetric stiffness and geometric nonlinear damping. The nonlinear stiffness and nonlinear damping characteristics of proposed model are studied. The motion equation of proposed system under force excitation is established, and its dynamic response is solved by the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM). In addition, the influence of nonlinear damping on force transmissibility is studied. The results indicate that the proposed isolator has a large equivalent damping ratio in the resonance region and a small equivalent damping ratio in the high-frequency region. Therefore, the proposed asymmetrical QZS isolator with nonlinear damping can supress the resonance in lowfrequency under force excitation and achieve a good highfrequency vibration isolation effect simultaneously than that with linear damping.
SARSNet—A Novel CNN Approach for SARWater Body Segmentation
Authors: Kamara Alhassan A. ,   School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, China
Published: July 2024

This paper presents the SARSNet architecture, developed to address the growing challenges in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) deep learning-based automatic water body extraction. Such a task is riddled with significant challenges, encompassing issues like cloud interference, scarcity of annotated dataset, and the intricacies associated with varied topography. Recent strides in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and multispectral segmentation techniques offer a promising avenue to address these predicaments. In our research, we propose a series of solutions to elevate the process of water body segmentation. Our proposed solutions span several domains, including image resolution enhancement, refined extraction techniques tailored for narrow water bodies, self-balancing of the class pixel level, and minority class-influenced loss function, all aimed at amplifying prediction precision and streamlining computational complexity inherent in deep neural networks. The framework of our approach includes the introduction of a multichannel Data-Fusion Register, the incorporation of a CNN-based Patch Adaptive Network augmentation method, and the integration of class pixel level balancing and the Tversky loss function. We evaluated the performance of the model using the Sentinel-1 SAR electromagnetic signal dataset from the Earth flood water body extraction competition organized by the artificial intelligence department of Microsoft. In our analysis, our suggested SARSNet was compared to well-known semantic segmentation models, and a comprehensive assessment demonstrates that SARSNet consistently outperforms these models in all data subsets, including training, validation, and testing sets.

Authors: Vasugi Gramani Arumugam , Pranav Giri , Padmavathy Karthika , Dhanabal Divya , Arun Arthi
Published: July 2024

: Thyroid carcinomas were significantly on the rise all over the world, with 5.86 lakh new cases and 43,664 deaths reported in 2020. In this study, we focused on a detailed analysis pertaining to the incidence and demographic profile of all histological types of thyroid malignancies.

: All cases of thyroid carcinomas reported in the department of Pathology at a tertiary care center in South India from January 2016-December 2020 were included in this study. The demographic profile and patient details were obtained from the medical records section. Pathology reports of the included cases were retrieved, and associated factors were analysed.

: Out of the 98 cases included in the study, 16 cases (16.3%) were below 30 years of age, 44 cases (44.9%) were 30-50 years of age and 38 cases (38.8%) were above 50 years of age. The mean age was 45.78. Female preponderance was noted, with 66 cases (67.3%) being females and 32 cases (32.65%) were males. The histopathology results revealed 90 cases (91.8%) to be papillary carcinoma, 1 case (1.02%) of medullary carcinoma, 1 case (1.02%) of Insular carcinoma, 5 cases (5.102%) of follicular carcinoma and 1 case (1.02%) of anaplastic carcinoma. Most of the cases were classified as T1 tumours (45.91%) under the TNM classification. 24 cases (24.49%) were graded as N1 (Metastasis to regional nodes). 3 cases (3.06%) exhibited distant metastasis. Majority of the cases (71.42%) were samples from a total thyroidectomy procedure.

: In our demographic study, we have noted that thyroid carcinomas have a peak incidence in the fourth decade of life with a female preponderance. Majority of the cases were noted to be papillary carcinomas in histological type. Understanding the histopathology and TNM staging of thyroid carcinomas is crucial for the selection of appropriate treatment modalities, predicting patient prognosis and clinical outcomes.

The aim of the study is to ascertain whether there happens to be any relation between the histological grading (according to broders system) of oral squamous cell carcinoma cases and their regional metastasis, depth of invasion and perineural invasion.

Squamous cell carcinoma is known to be the most common malignancy of the oral cavity. Staging and grading of OSCC are established are the main requirements for management, because they influence risk stratification and are one of the first step towards personalized treatment. Histological grading was introduced for the first time by Broder’s for squamous cell carcinomas of lip.

: This is a retrospective study of 53 patients who were diagnosed as oral squamous cell carcinomas from April 2021 to January 2023. The specimen of the cases were sent to our Department of Pathology, Acharya Shri Chandra college of medical sciences and hospital, Jammu for histopathological examination after resection.

Published: July 2024

: CSF examination is the gold standard for diagnosing leptomeningeal metastases. Malignant cells may access the subarachnoid space by hematogenous dissemination, spreading directly from parenchymal brain lesions, or spreading along the spinal cord or cranial nerves. Cytological detection of malignant cells in CSF is still a crucial decision point for systemic and intrathecal chemotherapy, and it has prognostic significance even with improvements in biochemical analysis and CNS imaging.

 Over the course of two years, a total of 397 patients—regardless of gender and age—were investigated. There were sixty-four cases with involvement of the central nervous system documented, comprising 42 hematologic malignancies and 22 solid tumors. Cell centrifugation (Cytospin) method were used to prepare smears and cell blocks where prepared, as feasible and indicated. 

: A cytological analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid showed that metastatic tumors were much more prevalent than primary central nervous system tumours. Lung tumors were the most frequent primary site in our analysis, with breast, gastrointestinal, and female genital tract malignancies following closely behind. CNS involvement has been reported in patients with Lymphoma (DLBCL) and Leukemia (most commonly ALL, but also AML and JMML) among hematological malignancies. Two cases of Retinoblastoma and one each of Medulloblastoma and an Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor were observed in the pediatric age group.

: Cerebrospinal fluid cytology is a simple and useful method, used as a primary diagnostic method in the evaluation of leptomeningeal metastases. This helps in the early detection of secondary CNS lesions and allows for timely intervention, prognosis, and prediction of overall survival.

Agriculture stands as the cornerstone of Bangladesh’s rural economy, sustaining not only food production, but also serving as a primary source of employment for its rural populace. Modernising this sector holds the potential to bolster its expansion, and generate further employment opportunities, thereby fostering rural socio-economic development. The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of electric power consumption, government final consumption expenditure, and the democracy index on employment in the agricultural sector in Bangladesh. Employing a dynamic ARDL model, we examined the short and long run dynamics between agricultural employment and other independent variables, utilising data spanning the period from 1991 to 2022. The findings underscore the pivotal role played by electricity in the growth of employment in agriculture. The study illuminates the nuanced interplay between various factors, revealing that government expenditure positively influences the agricultural sector, while the democratic landscape exerts a negative influence. In light of these insights, the paper advocates for strategic policy measures, emphasising the critical need for the government to prioritise the development of the electric sector, recognising it as a linchpin for sustainable agricultural growth and overall socio-economic advancement. Simultaneously, the study highlights the imperative of fostering a conducive political environment, underscoring its direct correlation with positive changes in the agricultural sector. Through these concerted efforts, Bangladesh can pave the way for a more resilient and prosperous agricultural landscape, contributing significantly to its overarching socio-economic development.

Authors: Korotkevich Mikhail A. ,   Postgraduate Student of the Department of Constitutional and Municipal Law of the Law Faculty of the Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: July 2024

Using the political and philosophical context, the article analyzes the German model of guaranteeing pluralism in the field of mass communication, the core of which is formed by the communication rights of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany, which have undergone a deep reinterpretation by the Federal Constitutional Court. Starting from the abstract politico-philosophical value of pluralism as the foundation of German democratic theory, its path is traced through its integration with general constitutional and legal principles. This integration leads to the concretization of pluralism in the communication sphere as specific regulatory provisions within constitutionalized ordinary legislation. Through the examination, the article highlights the key parameters of this model that correspond to the pluralistic theory of democracy. These parameters determine the logic of constitutional-legal regulation in the German communication sphere and influence the doctrinal aspects of fundamental rights.
