BEHAVIOR OF NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID IN A LID-DRIVEN CHAMBER WITH HEATED BODIES SUBJECTED TO A UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD
Authors: Anouar Yamina
Published: March 2024

Recent studies have attempted to find methods and techniques that enable the development of heat transfer within thermal transformers. For this purpose, this paper includes a numerical simulation of a non-Newtonian fluid inside a chamber with four hot bodies. The chamber is exposed to a magnetic field of constant and uniform intensity. Also, the upper wall of the chamber has a horizontal movement. The study is based on the quality of heat transfer between the heated parts of the chamber and the complex fluid under the influence of a set of criteria, namely Reynolds number (= 1 to 40); Hartmann number (= 0 to 100); power-law index (= 0.6 to 1.4) and Richardson number (0 to 100). The interpretation of the results is done by displaying the path-lines and isotherms distribution. Also, the amount of thermal transfer of the hot bodies is given in terms of the Nusselt number. The results showed that the positioning of the hot bodies plays an important role in heat transfer. Moreover, increasing the value of the power-law index makes the fluid stickier, which reflects its negative effect on heat transfer.

Authors: Barbooti Mahmood , Al-Bassam Khaldoon , Qasim Bashar
Published: March 2024

This work is a contribution to the global interest of scientific community in the field of cleaning the environment from drug and antibiotic residues which lead to the development of new generations of bacteria with improved resistance to antibiotics. The sorption of oxytetracyclin, OTC, on an Iraqi certified clay mineral, the montmorillonite, is used as indicative for the success of the used treatments. Batch equilibration experiments were carried out to follow the sorption behavior of OTC on the clay. The concentration of OTC was determined by spectral absorption at 360 nm which presented excellent correlation with high performance liquid chromatography, HPLC, method over a wide range of concentration (R2 = 0.977). After equilibration of synthetic OTC solutions with the clay for various intervals of time and various pH values, the concentration of OTC was employed to estimate the sorption efficiency of montmorillonite. The pH of the solution has only minor effect on the sorption efficiency. The kinetic treatment of the sorption results indicated two distinctive steps for the adsorption of OTC on the clay. Montmorillonite was proved as a candidate sorption material for OTC ensuring a removal efficiency of (94-96%) even at low clay contents. Experimentally the OTC concentration could be decreased from 0.5 to 0.03 mol/L at a pH value of 5.5 by sorption onto 2.0 g clay (montmorillonite)/L.

Authors: Meena Nitesh , Chopra Kanika , Anand Rama , Gaur Kavita , Osama Md Ali
Published: March 2024

Endometrial osseous metaplasia is an uncommon non-neoplastic gynecological condition, resulting in formation of mature or immature bone within the endometrial stroma. Most cases present with secondary infertility following an abortion. Although hysteroscopy is considered gold standard for the diagnosis of this rare entity, ultrasound (USG) plays an important role in its initial diagnosis. It is a challenging diagnosis due to its infrequency and similarity to other uterine pathologies. The characteristic USG appearance showing multiple bone fragments within the endometrium suggests the diagnosis. The current case report aims to highlight the role of USG in the detection and evaluation of the endometrial osseous metaplasia in patients presenting with secondary infertility.

Authors: Pacheco López Citlalli Mildred , Lara Flores Maurilio
Published: March 2024

The growing concern about the abuse of coastal resources and the adverse effects caused by their exploitation have led countries to take measures to combat the consequences of null or deficient management. Currently, our country is subscribed to several international agreements to prevent marine pollution and protect ocean biodiversity. Although it lacks an integrated coastal management plan, it has a large number of laws that regulate activities related to its coasts and oceans. In this article we will analyze, with the help of the ICZM Decalogue proposed by Barragán (2001; 2004), Mexico’s actions with respect to the integrated coastal management of its extensive marine territory.

Published: March 2024

Chile is a country with a vast coastal area, and as a result, it relies on economic activities related to this area, however, like many places, there are processes degrading Chile’s coastal areas. The lack of appropriate coastal management plans has endangered ecosystems. Chile’s regulations and policies need to improve and consider not only the coastal border but the entire coastal zone if a good management plan is to be established, currently, a law is being created that encompasses the entire coastal zone and its interactions. Nevertheless, due to access to information and citizen participation supported by laws, the Chilean population has a solid foundation to gradually change the perception of Chile’s coastal areas for the government’s betterment. The coastal zone zoning plans are undoubtedly a good starting point to gain a deeper understanding of the needs of each coastal area. The MIZC decalogue is presented to assess the circumstances Chile is facing in terms of coastal management.

The Concept of Recycled Farming According to Dayak Kanayatn and the Cultural Dimension
Authors: Kwirinus Dismas , Yuniarto Petrus
Published: March 2024

This research focuses on explaining the concept of recycled farming according to Dayak Kanayatn and its Cultural Dimensions. Talking about the Dayak Kanayatn cannot be separated from all their life activities. One of their most significant life activities is the farming practices of the Dayak Kanayatn tribe, which is rich in ritual ceremonies. The ceremony signifies the human relationship with nature and all its contents. Apart from that, the activities of the Kanayatn Dayak tribe, which are also essential to discuss, are economic activities. Supported by natural conditions, the Dayak people depend on the recycling farming system for their economy. However, the problem that arose later was the recycling farming system of the Dayaks, who were accused of destroying nature, encroaching on forests, and illegal loggers, thus disturbing and destroying nature. If we open history again, the Dayak tribe has managed nature in this way for centuries but has not caused any damage to nature. Departing from this accusation, the researcher explains how the Dayak Kanayatn people wisely manage nature with recycled farming. This paper aims to respond to accusations of Kanayatn Dayak as natural destroyers of their farming system. Then he wanted to explore one of the cultures of the Dayak people, especially the Kanayatn Dayak, which was almost extinct due to the times. Furthermore, it introduces the Dayak-style culture of nature management through the recycled farming tradition the Kanayatn Dayak represents. The author uses qualitative research methods and critical reading of the text without ignoring the author’s experiences and observations as a Dayak son. The findings of this paper are that the Dayak Kanayatn farming system not only reveals economic activity but also reveals community socio-cultural and religious activities. From how they work the fields with the balale’ system, it is implied that they are solid in solidarity with others. It was there that their solid community life was revealed based on kinship and brotherhood.

Electrowinning for room-temperature ironmaking: Mapping the electrochemical aqueous iron interface
Authors: Kavalsky Lance , Viswanathan Venkatasubramanian
Published: March 2024

A promising route towards room-temperature ironmaking is electrowinning, where iron ore dissolution is coupled with cation electrodeposition to grow pure iron. However, poor faradaic efficiencies against the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a major bottleneck. To develop a mechanistic picture of this technology, we conduct a first-principles thermodynamic analysis of the Fe110 aqueous electrochemical interface. Constructing a surface Pourbaix diagram, we predict that the iron surface will always drive towards adsorbate coverage. We calculate theoretical overpotentials for terrace and step sites and predict growth at the step sites are likely to dominate. Investigating the hydrogen surface phases we model several hydrogen absorption mechanisms, all of which are predicted to be endothermic. Additionally, for HER we identify step sites as being more reactive than on the terrace, and with competitive limiting potentials to iron plating. The results presented here further motivate electrolyte design towards HER suppression.

Published: March 2024

The use of adsorbents for direct air capture (DAC) is regarded as a promising and essential carbon dioxide removal technology to help meet the goals outlined by the 2015 Paris Agreement. A class of adsorbents that has gained significant attention for this application is ultramicroporous metal organic frameworks (MOFs). However, the necessary data needed to facilitate process scale evaluation of these materials is not currently available. Here, we investigate TIFSIX-3-Ni, a previously reported ultramicroporous MOF for direct air capture, and measure several physicochemical and equilibrium adsorption properties. We report its crystal structure, textural properties, thermal stability, specific heat capacity, CO2, N2, and H2O equilibrium adsorption isotherms at multiple temperatures, and Ar and O2 isotherms at a single temperature. For CO2, N2, and H2O, we also report isotherm model fitting parameters and calculate heats of adsorption. We assess the manufacturability and process stability of TIFSIX-3-Ni by investigating the impact of batch reproducibility, binderless pelletization, humidity, and adsorption-desorption cycling (50 cycles) on its crystal structure, textural properties, and CO2 adsorption. For pelletized TIFSIX-3-Ni, we also report its skeletal, pellet, and bed density, total pore volume, and pellet porosity. Overall, our data enable initial process modelling and optimization studies to evaluate TIFSIX-3-Ni for DAC at the process scale. They also highlight the possibility to pelletize TIFSIX-3-Ni and the limited stability of the MOF under humid and oxidative conditions as well as upon multiple adsorption-desorption cycles.
Many-body interactions and deep neural network potentials for water
Authors: Zhai Yaoguang , Rashmi Richa , Palos Etienne , Paesani Francesco
Published: March 2024

We present a detailed assessment of deep neural network potentials developed within the DeePMD framework and trained on the MB-pol data-driven many-body potential energy function. Specific focus is directed at the ability of DeePMD-based potentials to correctly reproduce the accuracy of MB-pol across various water systems. Analyses of bulk and interfacial properties as well as many-body interactions characteristic of water elucidate inherent limitations in the transferability and predictive accuracy of DeePMD-based potentials. These limitations can be traced back to an incomplete implementation of the “nearsightedness of electronic matter” principle, which may be common throughout machine learning potentials that do not include a proper representation of self-consistently determined long-range electric fields. These findings provide further support for the "short-blanket dilemma" faced by DeePMD-based potentials, highlighting the challenges in achieving a balance between computational efficiency and a rigorous, physics-based representation of the properties of water. Finally, we believe that our study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the de- velopment and application of machine learning models in simulating water systems, offering insights that could guide future improvements in the field.
Unveiling the Multifaceted Nature of 4-(4-MethylphenylThio)benzophenone: A Combined DFT, NBO, and Spectroscopic Investigation of its Electronic Structure and Excited States
Authors: BHATIA MANJEET
Published: March 2024

Benzophenone and its derivatives play a crucial role as UV (ultra-violet) lters and UV-ink photoinitiators. The photoinitiating properties of benzophenones are primarily linked to the degree of -conjugation and the extent of delocalization within the molecule. Understanding the intricate interplay of conjugation, delocalization, and substituent effects allows for the precise customization of benzophenone derivatives to meet speci c application requirements. Quantum mechanical calculations, employing the B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) density functional theory (DFT), are utilized to compute chemical reactivity, stability, and photoinitiating properties for 4-4 (methylphenylthio) benzophenone. Various parameters such as proton af nity, ionization energy, electron af nity, reactivity, and spectroscopic properties are determined. The DFT-computed infrared spectra align well with available experimental results. The UV/Visible spectra obtained using TD-DFT reveal absorption toward higher wavelengths, attributed to the extended delocalization of -electrons. In an aqueous medium, the absorption spectra of 4-4 (methylphenylthio) benzophenone exhibit a high- intensity peak with a longer wavelength shift in the visible region compared to gas-phase spectra. This knowledge provides the foundation for designing novel initiators with tailored light absorption, excited state lifetimes, and reaction selectivities. Consequently, these advancements open doors to bene ts in UV-curing, photopolymerization, and other light-driven processes.

Published: March 2024

The prevalence of flooding in Nigeria in the past few years (with its devastating consequences) has become a source of concern for policymakers and researchers alike. Scholars have attributed the high frequency of flooding, particularly in the southern region of Nigeria, to several factors; climatic variation and land use/land cover changes are themes that fall under the domain of natural and anthropogenic causes of flooding, respectively. This study examined climatic variations and changing land use/land cover in southern Nigeria with the view of determining their synergistic effects on flooding. We adopted a mixed approach for data collection with the use of Geographic Information System (GIS), retrieval of primary data from meteorological stations in the region, and field surveys. Findings show a significant decrease in rural land uses like arable lands, wetlands, and undisturbed forests; while there was a corresponding increase in urban/peri-urban land uses like settlements and tree-crop plantations over the period from 1999 to 2019. The land use/land cover changes have manifested in the destabilization of the microclimate, distortion of the carbon circle, loss of biodiversity, reduction of ecosystem services of the natural areas, and flooding. The decadal rainfall trends over the past three decades show consistent extremities with mean rainfall duration decreasing while the mean intensity increases; aggravating soil erosion, urban runoff challenges, and flooding. Climatic variations (mainly extreme rainfall patterns) synergize with inefficient land use management to exacerbate flooding in southern Nigeria. While policymakers in this region may not have the standalone capacity to significantly control climate change and the consequential variations in the local microclimate, they can re engineer land use policies to eliminate or substantially degrade anthropogenic factors that exacerbate flooding.

Authors: Palapa Neza Rahayu , Hanifah Yulizah , Amri Amri , Putri Bunga Indah
Published: March 2024

Carbonaceous substances, including hydrochar and biochar, have been produced from agricultural residue via hydrothermal and pyrolysis processes. The surface morphology of the materials was assessed using FTIR, XRD, BET, and SEM techniques. The identification of diffraction peaks at approximately 22° by XRD analysis suggested the existence of carbonaceous material. This is confirmed by FTIR analysis, which identifies cellulose vibration at 2931 cm?1. The results of the SEM analysis revealed that BC-Rice husk and HYC-Rice husk are heterogeneous in shape and surface area; conversely, HYC-Rambutan and Duku have a uniform, ball-like shape and aggregate. This is further corroborated by surface area data, which indicates that the material composed of rice husk has a larger surface area than the material composed of fruit peel.

Contesting the Portrayal of Beauty As It is in Music Videos: A Semiotic Analysis of the Video of Yura Yunita-Tutur Batin
Authors: Lamdia Dini Okta , Santoso Anang Dwi , Andarini Rindang Senja
Published: March 2024

Recently, "beauty as it is" has been featured in commercials for beauty products, movies, and music videos. This concept arose from a lengthy conversation about normative beauty, according to which a beautiful lady is always characterized by having fair complexion, straight hair, and a fresh face. This study, in response to these developments, challenges if, in the manufacture of "beauty as it is," capitalists continue to use women's bodies as commodities instruments, not only beauty and sexiness but also women's flaws and powerlessness. In more detail, this study employs a critical paradigm, Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, and Stuart Hall's representation theory to deconstruct the denotation, connotation, and myths that form in the music video for Yura-Yunita-Tutur Batin. Findings of this study indicates that women who do not adhere to beauty norms would face prejudice. The prevalence of beauty privilege is damaging not just to women who are far from beauty standards, but also to gorgeous women, who are regarded as having beauty capital alone. The female body is once again objectified in this video. Women's physical appearances are shown in a variety of ways by expressing themselves as they are, but the music video nonetheless builds conventional standards of beauty. The body positivity campaign resulted in poisonous body positivity, and women supporting women was only carried out by women with the same physical issues, while the rest depicted women dropping other women.

Gender inequality contributes to HIV/AIDS transmission, increased number of women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA), and women’s reduced ability of resolving this epidemic. Mobile Health (mH) is used to treat, support, and medicate more efficiently people with HIV/AIDS (PWHA) including WLHA. This research studies access, participation, control, and advantage of digital-based healthcare service to WLHA using Harvard’s gender analysis model. Informants employed in this exploratory research were Surakarta City’s Health Service Office, medical workers, nurses, administrative staffs, patients, NGO Caring for AIDS, WLHA, Peer Support Group, and Citizens caring for AIDS di Surakarta Indonesia. Data validity test was conducted using source triangulation and data was analyzed using an interactive model of analysis. Result shows that several digital platforms have been developed by Public Health Centers and Hospitals in Surakarta including telemedicine, telenursing, telepharmacy, website, youtube and social media for promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative healthcare services to WLHA in Surakarta Indonesia. WLHA, public, and medical personnel in Surakarta Indonesia have participated in and access mH, despite gender inequality. The factor determining gender inequality in digital-based healthcare service is men’s domination in mastering digital-based health technology, negative stigma, and discriminative treatment given by medical personnel and public to WLHA. The use of mH by WLHA has positive impact on knowledge, stance, access, participation, decision, and changing behavior of WLHA and the medical personnel responsible for the service.
God And Man In The Qur’an : Semantics Of The Qur’anic Weltanschaungg : Struktur Dasar Weltanschauung Al Quran Dan Ontologis Antara Tuhan Manusia
Authors: Mayasari Lutfiana Dwi , Azizah Aisyatul , Aprilia Amanda Carolina dara
Published: March 2024

The Qur'an is a holy book that was revealed directly by Allah to humans through His messenger, the Prophet Muhammad. Understanding the Qur'an which was directly revealed by the Creator makes humans also demand an understanding of how the position of humans with God is, it doesn't stop there, this will continue with widespread understanding and thinking about the concepts of life that humans want to understand completely. So that it is necessary to understand both the position of humans and God in order to find a good and correct understanding of what God means in the Qur'an as a provision for humans to complete their duties in the world, then try to discuss the Basic Structure of Weltanschauung Al-Quran and the Ontology Between God and Humans. The Quran explains that there is a relationship between man and God. The relationship between God and man can be in the form of ontological relations, communication relations, master and servant and ethical relations which in some of these relationships need to be related to one another. This perfect relationship then makes a certain group, the group is called the Muslim community. The Qur'an explains that the position of the Qur'an is to mediate between this world and the hereafter, where the Qur'an acts as a liaison or something that represents the transition between the two (world and the hereafter).
Penentuan Awal Waktu Sholat Sebagai Syarat Sah Sholat
Authors: Sururi Endri , Laili Afrohatul
Published: March 2024

Muslims. Performing prayers on time is an absolute prerequisite for prayers to be considered valid. Determining prayer times is important because based on Islamic teachings, prayer times have been determined and are closely related to the movement of the sun and geographical conditions. Astronomical and geographical factors, such as the sun, latitude and longitude, influence the determination of prayer times. The morning prayer begins before the sun rises, Dhuhr when the sun is at the top of the sky, Asr before the sun sets, Maghrib when the sun sets, and Isha after dusk ends. The suitability of prayer times to seasonal changes is also taken into account in areas that experience significant variations in weather and duration of day and night. Observance of prayer times is an integral part of a Muslim's adherence to religious teachings. Spiritual awareness and devotion to Allah are reflected in efforts to perform prayers at the specified times. It also creates a deep spiritual discipline, strengthening the connection between humans and their creator. Commitment to understanding and adhering to prayer times according to religious guidelines is essential in maintaining a Muslim's obedience. Most Muslims rely on local religious authorities or religious institutions to determine appropriate prayer times according to geographic and astronomical factors. This strengthens Muslims' attachment to religious teachings, making determining prayer times an integral part of their spiritual life.

Niğde Ulukışla refractory Au/Ag ore has 8-9 g/T gold and 170-180 g/T silver grades. In mineralogical examinations, it was found that these metals were closed in minerals such as iron oxy/oxyhydroxide, calcite, and quartz or neighboring these minerals. In the cyanide soluble process after alkali sulfide preliminary procedure at room temperature, metal extraction yields were obtained as 62% for gold and 7% for silver. It is seen that silver is adversely affected by this process compared to the direct cyanidation process. However, after the hot alkali treatment process, metal extractions improved by approximately 25% of gold and 74% of silver. This increase in yield can be considered as converting Ag-oxyhydroxide into soluble Ag forms as a result of the effect of hot alkaline sulfur leaching on the cyanide process. The most important advantage of this decomposition process is to achieve high metal extraction efficiency in lower alkali concentrations.
Exploring Nurses' Confidence in Supporting Family Presence During Resuscitation in the Emergency Department: A Quality improvement Project
Authors: Hampson Vanessa
Published: March 2024

Cardiac arrest is a common event in hospitals and integrating family presence during highly stressful situations such as resuscitation and invasive procedures can be problematic for members of the interprofessional team. The purpose of this quality improvement project is to explore nurses' confidence in supporting family presence during resuscitation. A sample of 27 out of 50 registered nurses voluntarily participated in the survey. Utilizing a modified NCSBN confidence survey, confidence levels were lower when asked about interventions, communication, and policy prior to any education recommendations about family presence during resuscitation. This study provides insight into why nurses may or may not utilize the practice of family presence during resuscitation (FPDR). Improvement was achieved in assessment, intervention, and evaluation of interventions related to FPDR after education was received. Categories including communication, performing interventions, family presence, policy, and existing education were explored. The highest improvement in confidence was found with performing medication administration in the presence of family at 23%-after receiving education. Understanding the nurses’ level of confidence during a high-stress resuscitation and providing education increases their confidence during FPDR. The results of this quality improvement project are a strong indicator of future success and confidence in the use of FPDR. Understanding what nurses know and think about a practice helps determine how to increase utilization in healthcare facilities. This project may help guide healthcare organizations when implementing and educating about FPDR.
Phenobarbital vs Lorazepam: A Comparison of Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome Treatments
Authors: Jardim Antonio
Published: March 2024

The wide use of alcohol and its consequent problems in our society have contributed to an estimated 1.2 million hospital admissions, 85,000 deaths, and a cost above $250 billion to our health care system every year. Benzodiazepines such as lorazepam have long been the preferred choice of treatment for alcohol withdrawal symptoms (AWS) in the hospital setting. However, alternative treatments like phenobarbital could possibly improve outcomes in terms of efficacy and safety. A systematic review was conducted to compare and synthesize the current evidence as it relates to the effectiveness of phenobarbital and lorazepam in decreasing AWS and total hospital length of stay. Results showed no significant advantage or disadvantage using either medication independently or in combination on decreasing AWS symptoms or length of stay but more research is needed. Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioners (APRNs) contribute to high quality evidence-based research where additional information can examine and propose changes to practice guidelines.
Addressing Housing Insecurity: Policy Analysis of Managed Care Organizations and Healthcare Providers
Authors: Hernandez Andrea
Published: March 2024

An average of 4,000 Rhode Islanders experience homelessness and housing insecurity each year. A policy analysis of screening tools for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) was conducted for Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island (NHPRI), Inland Empire Health Plan, The Veteran Health Administration (VHA), The Medicaid Medical Directors Network (MMDN), Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), RI Office of Housing and Community Development, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Keiser Permanent School of Medicine Health Systems Science, Canadian Observatory on Homelessness, and primary care offices in Indianapolis, Florida, and Indiana. The analysis revealed ineffective screening when addressing SDOH, specifically housing insecurity and homelessness. Ineffective SDOH screening within managed care organizations (MCOs) and by healthcare providers contributed to health instability. The average cost to Rhode Island taxpayers for emergency room visits for persons experiencing homelessness is $18,000 a year. A literature review of key evidence demonstrated that a standardized SDOH assessment screening tool is needed to determine the appropriate plan of care and treatment such as the Vulnerability Assessment Tool (VAT). A policy update for proper assessment and screening of SDOH is needed by local MCOs and healthcare providers to address the rising costs of healthcare and the increased needs of high-risk populations. Recommendations to adopt a similar version of the VAT as part of the health plan assessment is a possible solution towards increasing health equity.
Constant Storage for Storing Shortest Paths for a Polyhedron

We present a new scheme for storing shortest path information for a polyhedron. This scheme is obtained by applying the constant storage scheme of Han and Saxena [4] on the outward layout of Sharir and Schorr [8]. We achieve constant storage and O(log n + k) time for computing the shortest path from the source point to a query point on the polyhedron, where k is the number of polyhedron edges this shortest path passes through. This improves the result of Chen and Han [3] which uses O(n log n/d) storage and O(d log n/ log d + k) time, where d is an adjustable parameter.
Rear-end Vehicle Collision Avoidance using Reinforced Learning
Authors: Sebi Nashwan , Kintali Narendra , Cheok Ka C
Published: March 2024

A rear-end collision happens when a driver collides with the vehicle directly ahead of them from the rear. Such accidents are common at traffic stops like red lights and stop signs or in heavy traffic conditions. While most rear-end accidents occur at low speeds, they can also happen at higher speeds on highways, interstates, and similar fast-moving roadways. Typically, these accidents involve two vehicles, but they can sometimes lead to a domino effect involving multiple vehicles. [1]. This study delves into Mitigating rear-end vehicle collisions using reinforcement learning (RL). The RL algorithm in focus is intended to be integrated into the ego vehicle's system, see Figure 1, aiming primarily to avert colliding with the rear car when both vehicles are progressing forward. Through the utilization of reinforcement learning algorithms, the RCA system can learn from its interactions with the environment, adapt to changing scenarios, and make intelligent decisions to prevent or mitigate collisions effectively. This research investigates the application of the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm in the context of rear collision avoidance. The research methodology involves developing a simulated environment that accurately represents lane driving scenarios using longitudinal car dynamics for the ego and rear cars, including the two vehicles’ speeds and positions. The outcomes of this research study are expected to contribute to the development of advanced rear collision avoidance systems that can adapt and improve their performance based on real-time data and experiences.

Robotics is a very expansive and ever-growing field that allows for a large number of different scenarios to occur. Once application is coordination of multiple robots in a single system, and that is highlighted in an environment such as RoboCup competitions. The Contextual Communication and Navigation (CCN) Algorithm is an approach to the problem of multiple robots coordinating at a common goal through the lens of Communication and Navigation. A scheme of communication that allows Nao Robots to efficiently communicate their positions using the minimal number of bits to transfer data was designed as well as a navigation scheme that allows robots to use the information they have on other robots to navigate to a goal. The CCN Algorithm was simulated and tested along with Dijkstra and A* in order to compare the effectiveness of each of the algorithms in tackling this problem and it was found that the CCN Algorithm was the most efficient.
Error Assessment for Multi-Join AQP using Bootstrap Sampling
Authors: Maharjan Sabin , Kerns Lucy , Min Xiangjia , Yu Feng
Published: March 2024

Approximate query processing (AQP) is a computing efficient scheme to provide fast and accurate estimations for big data queries. However, assessing the error of an AQP estimation remains an open challenge for high-dimensional multi-relation data. Existing research often focuses on the online AQP methods which heavily rely on expensive auxil- iary data structures. The contribution of this research is three-fold. First, we develop a new framework employing a non-parametric statistic method, namely bootstrap sampling, towards error assessment for multi-join AQP query estimation. Second, we extend the cur- rent AQP schemes from providing point estimations to range estimations by offering the confidence intervals of a query estimation. Third, a prototype system is implemented to benchmark the proposed framework. The experimental results demonstrate the prototype system generates accurate confidence intervals for various join query estimations.
