A New Method for Static Measurement of Two Axles Vehicle Centroid Height
Authors: Fan Xiaobin , Zhang Mingyue
Published: September 2019

Background:

Vehicle centroid height is an important parameter in vehicle control systems.
It plays an important role in vehicle roll stability and handling stability. At present, there are
mainly static and dynamic measurement methods such as swing method, mass reaction method,
marking method and so on. These static measurement methods often require a fixed suspension to
make the measurement process time-consuming and laborious, and measurement errors will occur
when the suspension is not fixed firmly, and it is impossible to measure the mass center position of
spring-loaded mass and non-spring-loaded mass.

Objective:

Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study a high accuracy, low cost and fast
measurement method of vehicle centroid height. We revised and summarized all patents relating to
methods for estimating vehicle centroid height. And a new method of centroid measurement is designed
in this paper.

Methods:

According to the change of tire flattening radius and suspension, the change of spring
and non-spring mass center height when vehicle axle load changes, the method of delineation is
used to calculate the change of tire flattening radius and suspension; According to the relationship
between vehicle tilt angle and front and rear axle load, the principle of moment balance and the
principle of mass balance, it determines the geometric relationship between the variables, and to
take the moment of the contact point between the front wheel and the ground, the moment balance
equation is established, and the height of the vehicle mass center, spring load and non-spring load
mass center in the horizontal position of the vehicle are obtained.

Results:

This measurement method is different from the existing static measurement of vehicle
centroid height, it does not need the fixed suspension, only need to measure several dimensions, we
can avoid heavy labor and safety accidents brought by the fixed suspension, it can also reduce the
measurement error caused by fixation, but also can draw the centroid location of the sprung mass
and unsprung mass. The measurement method is simple, economical and accurate, and is widely
applicable on two-axle vehicles.

Conclusion:

The purpose of this paper is to provide a static and accurate measurement method of
vehicle centroid height, so as to solve the problem that the current static measurement method of
vehicle centroid height needs fixed suspension, and measurement errors will occur when the suspension
is not fixed properly, so it is impossible to measure the centroid position of spring-loaded
mass and non-spring-loaded mass.

Authors: Gupta Madhvi , Gupta Ashwani K. , Sharma Nikhlesh K.
Published: September 2019

Aim:

The purpose of the study is to use Fast Voltage Stability Index to find out the
weakest line of the system so that the weakest transformer of the system can be find out.

Methods:

In this paper, a technique is proposed to decide the priority selecting the out of service
transformer for repair/replacement. Based on voltage stability, priority is assigned for repairing or
replacing the particular transformer.

Results:

By using this method, a number of out of service transformers in the transmission line can
be determined and then replaced or repaired. The technique has been implemented in MATLAB
software, which is used to rank all the out of service transformer in the system. This MATLAB program
has been developed to conduct load-flow studies including Voltage Stability Index. The FVSI
proposed by Musirin et al. has been used in this work to rank the transformers which needs repair/
replacement. Transformer located at weakest line should be repaired first technically.

Conclusion:

The proposed method in this paper aims to improve the reliability and to manage the
congestion of the transmission system by repairing or replacing out of service transformer.

Authors: Sen Dipanjan , Sengupta Savio J. , Roy Swarnil , Chanda Manash , Sarkar Subir K.
Published: September 2019

Aims::

In this work, a Junction-Less Double Gate MOSFET (JLDG MOSFET) based
CMOS inverter circuit is proposed for ultra-low power applications in the near and sub-threshold
regime operations.

Background::

D.C. performances like power, delay and voltage swing of the proposed Inverter
have been modeled analytically and analyzed in depth. JLDG MOSFET has promising features to
reduce the short-channel effects compared to the planner MOSFET because of better gate control
mechanism. So, proposed Inverter would be efficacious to offer less power dissipation and higher
speed.

Objective::

Impact of supply voltage, temperature, High-k gate oxide, TOX, TSI on the power,
delay and voltage swing of the Inverter circuits have been detailed here.

Methods:

Extensive simulations using SILVACO ATLAS have been done to validate the proposed
logic based digital circuits. Besides, the optimum supply voltage has been modelled and verified
through simulation for low voltage operations. In depth analysis of voltage swing is added to
measure the noise immunity of the proposed logic based circuits in Sub & Near-threshold operations.
For ultra-low power operation, JLDG MOSFET can be an alternative compared to conventional
planar MOSFET.

Result::

Hence, the analytical model of delay, power dissipation and voltage swing have been proposed
of the proposed logic based circuits. Besides, the ultra-low power JLDG CMOS inverter can
be an alternative in saving energy, reduction of power consumption for RFID circuit design where
the frequency range is a dominant factor.

Conclusion::

The power consumption can be lowered in case of UHF, HF etc. RF circuits using the
Double Gate Junction-less MOSFET as a device for circuit design.

Authors: Barlak Neslisah , Sanli Fatma , Capik Ozel , Tuysuz Elanur , Aydın Karatas Elanur , Turkez Hasan , Karatas Omer Faruk
Published: September 2019

Background:

Larynx cancer (LCa) is the most common head and neck cancer and accounts
for 1-2.5% of all human cancers worldwide. Metformin, an oral anti-diabetic drug, has been recently
shown to have anti-cancer activity in various cancer types, and there are several studies in the literature
pointing to its potential to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs.

Objective:

This study was aimed at exploring the anti-cancer effects of metformin alone or in combination
with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on Hep-2 cells.

Methods:

The effects of metformin and/or 5-FU on the proliferative, clonogenic, and apoptotic potential
of Hep-2 cells were evaluated with Cell Viability Detection Kit-8, soft agar assay and Annexin VFITC
Apoptosis assay, respectively. Migratory and invasive potential of cells was tested using
scratch, transwell migration and Matrigel invasion assays. Gene expression of cells exposed to metformin
and/or 5-FU was profiled using RT2 mRNA PCR Array plates.

Results:

Treatment of Hep-2 cells with metformin inhibited cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis, and
suppressed cell migration. Besides, treatment of metformin along with 5-FU improved the antiproliferative
and anti-migratory effects of 5-FU. However, unexpectedly, metformin was found to enhance
cellular invasion and reverse the inhibitory effect of 5-FU on the invasive potential of Hep-2 cells.

Conclusion:

Our findings suggest that metformin might be used as an adjuvant agent in the treatment
of LCa. However, the potential of metformin to promote the invasion of cancer cells should not be
neglected.

Authors: Upadhyay Utsav , Sikka Geeta
Published: September 2019

Background:

The MapReduce programming model was developed and designed for Google
File System to efficiently process large distributed datasets. The open source implementation of the
Google project was called Apache Hadoop. Hadoop architecture comprises of Hadoop Distributed File
System (HDFS) and Hadoop MapReduce. HDFS provides support to Hadoop for effectively managing
large datasets over the cluster and MapReduce helps in efficient large-scale distributed datasets
processing. MapReduce incorporates strategies to re-executes speculative task on some other node in
order to finish computation quickly, enhancing the overall Quality of Service (QoS). Several
mechanisms were suggested over default Hadoop’s Scheduler, such as Longest Approximate Time to
End (LATE), Self-Adaptive MapReduce scheduler (SAMR) and Enhanced Self-Adaptive MapReduce
scheduler (ESAMR), to improve speculative re-execution of tasks over the cluster.

Objective:

The aim of this research is to develop an efficient speculative task detection mechanism to
improve the overall QoS offered over Hadoop cluster.

Methods:

Our studies suggest the importance of keeping a regular track of node’s performance in order
to re-execute speculative tasks more efficiently.

Results:

We have successfully reduced the detection time of speculative tasks (~ 15%) and improved
accuracy of correct speculative task detection (~10%) as compared to existing mechanisms.

Conclusion:

This paper presents an efficient speculative task detection algorithm for MapReduce
schedulers to improve the QoS offered by Hadoop clusters.

Authors: Anggrasari Herdiana , Mulyo Jangkung Handoyo
Published: September 2019

This research is aimed to (1) observe the trade patterns and domination export in the spice commodities between Indonesia in international market and the countries as its main trade partners, and (2) observe the performance of the export and import in industry of Indonesia spices with its trade partner countries. Grubel-Lloyd Index (GLI) were used to detect whether the trade patterns in spice industry is as intra-industry or as inter-industry as well as to figure out the domination of the spice commodity export of Indonesia to its trade partner countries. The performance of the export and import in spice industry could be analyzed using the share of export and import between Indonesia and its trade partner countries. This research used the secondary data obtained from UNComtrade in a 15-year period (2002-2016) by concerning with a number of the main trade partner countries. The results of the research showed that the trade of Indonesian spice commodities in international market and among its main trade partners is categorized as a partial industry. Indonesia overall dominates the spice trade with its main trading partners; thus, the trade balance of Indonesian spice commodities is surplus. It is only with China and India in which the trade pattern is categorized as the intra-industry. Government needs to do some various efforts to encourage the increase of exports of Indonesian spices in the international market by developing market intelligence, enhancing the role of attachés in the spice trade diplomacy in the partner countries and potential countries.

Piezoelectric Devices in the Sustainable Society
Authors: Uchino Kenji
Published: September 2019

Our 21st century faces to a “sustainable society”, which enhances (a) usage of non-toxic materials, (b) disposal technology for existing hazardous materials, (c) reduction of contamination gas, (d) environmental monitoring system, (e) new energy source creation, and (f) energy-efficient device development in the piezoelectric area. With reducing their size, the electromagnetic components reduce their efficiency drastically. Thus, piezoelectric transducers with much less losses are highly sought recently. Piezoelectric devices seem to be all-around contributors and a key component to the above mentioned five R&D areas. Some of the efforts include: (a) Since the most popular piezoelectric lead zirconate titante ceramics will be regulated in European and Asian societies due to their toxicity (Pb2+ ion), lead-free piezoelectrics have been developed. (b) Since hazardous organic substances can easily be dissolved by the ultrasonic irradiation in water, a new safe disposal technology using piezoelectric transducers has been developed. (c) We demonstrated an energy recovery system on a hybrid car from its engine’s mechanical vibration to the rechargeable battery. (d) Micro ultrasonic motors based on piezoelectrics demonstrated 1/20 reduction in the volume and a 20-time increase in efficiency of the conventional electromagnetic motors. This paper introduces leading piezoelectric materials, devices, and drive/control methods, relating with the above “sustainability” technologies, aiming at further research expansion in this area.

FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE CARDIAC CYCLE IN RECRUITS TRAINING CENTER OF THE NAVY IN THE ARCTIC ZONE
Authors: Gudkov Andrey B. , Mosyagin Igor G. , Popova Olga N. , Nebuchennykh Anatoliy A. , Shcherbina Fedor A.
Published: September 2019

Objective: to identify the features of the structure of the cardiac cycle among recruits of the Navy training center, who arrived from different climatic and geographical regions of the Russian Federation in the Arctic zone. Two groups of servicemen of 37 people were formed: the first group consisted of recruits from the southern regions of the Russian Federation, and the second — natives of the northern region. Each soldier was examined monthly for 5 months. To study the structure of the cardiac cycle, polycardiography was used, which included simultaneous recording of an electrocardiogram (ECG), phonocardiogram (PCG) and sphygmogram (SG) of the carotid artery. It was established that the duration of the asynchronous reduction (AS) phase for servicemen from the southern regions during the 5-month observation period only tended to decrease from 0,053±0,004 to 0,044±0,004 s, and starting from 3 months. In the group of servicemen-northerners, the duration of the AU phase during the observation period was statistically significantly reduced from 0,055±0,003 to 0,040±0,004 s, and in months 3, 4, and 5 from 22% to 27% (p<0,05). The stress period (T) in the systole of the ventricles in military personnel from the southern regions also remained almost unchanged, while in the military northerners it was statistically significantly reduced from 0,085±0,002 to 0,080±0,001 s, as well as the duration of the total (electromechanical) systole (So) from 0,372±0,004 to 0,358±0,006 s. Thus, when training at the Navy training center located in the AZ, for recruits-northerners the duration of the AC phase decreases after 2 months, and after 4 months the time T and the duration of So decrease, indicating the beginning of a more efficient work of the myocardium. For recruits from the southern regions of the Russian Federation, by the end of their studies, there is only a slight tendency towards a decrease in the AU phase, which indicates a less efficient work of the myocardium in comparison with the group of northerners.

Authors: Belyakov Nikolay A. , Rassokhin Vadim V. , Simakina Olga E.
Published: September 2019

The present lecture provides evidence on the spread of HIV infection in the Russian Federation. Epidemiological situation in maritime regions is described. Some of regions are leaders by HIV spread. To treat and prevent HIV in this group of people, a special branch represented by territorial HIV centers that organize all necessary measures to carry out voluntary examination in different groups of people was created. Common factors of HIV progression and ways of suppression of viral replication are presented. HIV is considered as chronic medicamentally manageable disease with long course. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used to treat HIV infection at the present time. HIV medications are designed to affect HIV at the molecular biological level. Current medications are incapable to eliminate genetic material of virus integrated in DNA of human target cells, so, active viral replication in human body and disease progression will go back up again as soon as a patient stops taking ART medications. In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, HIV ranks fourth out of the other diseases. At the same time, there is a growing number of primary disease incidence in 2018 in comparison with earlier periods.

Parental Perspectives towards the Vocational Education Training Sector in Vietnam
Authors: Dang Vi Hoang
Published: September 2019

The main purpose of this study is to explore the parental perspectives of the vocational education and training (VET) sector in Vietnam. The data were collected from 32 parents in the Northern and Southern regions using six open-ended interview questions focussing on the vocational education training system. Several techniques, namely word repetitions, keywords in context, and similarities and differences were applied to discover the common emerging themes and sub-themes. The issues which corresponded with the six questions were (1) quality and types of VET input, (2) VET teachersâ€™ ability, (3) facilities and equipment, (4) the relationship between VET providers and industries, (5) recognition of VET qualifications and (6) job potential. The results indicated two main positive and negative themes emerging in five of the issues, the exception being the relationship between VET providers and industries. The issue of job potential was evaluated positively by parents. However, the findings indicate wastage of trained manpower due to the weak relationship between VET providers and industries. The recommendations are that Government agencies should be more involved in the VET sector by providing teaching protocols and implementing policy concerning two-way collaboration between VET providers and enterprises, making the sector more attractive to parents, students, industries and other key stakeholders with the primary aim of changing perceptions of the VET sector positively.

Extreme obesity (EO) (BMI >50 kg/m2) is frequently associated with neuropsychiatric disease (NPD). As both EO and NPD are heritable central nervous system disorders, we assessed the prevalence of protein-truncating variants (PTVs) and copy number variants (CNVs) in genes/regions previously implicated in NPD in adults with EO (n = 149) referred for weight loss/bariatric surgery. We also assessed the prevalence of CNVs in patients referred to University College London Hospital (UCLH) with EO (n = 218) and obesity (O) (BMI 35–50 kg/m2; n = 374) and a Swedish cohort of participants from the community with predominantly O (n = 161). The prevalence of variants was compared with control subjects in the Exome Aggregation Consortium/Genome Aggregation Database. In the discovery cohort (high NPD prevalence: 77%), the cumulative PTV/CNV allele frequency (AF) was 7.7% vs. 2.6% in control subjects (odds ratio [OR] 3.1 [95% CI 2–4.1]; P < 0.0001). In the UCLH EO cohort (intermediate NPD prevalence: 47%), CNV AF (1.8% vs. 0.9% in control subjects; OR 1.95 [95% CI 0.96–3.93]; P = 0.06) was lower than the discovery cohort. CNV AF was not increased in the UCLH O cohort (0.8%). No CNVs were identified in the Swedish cohort with no NPD. These findings suggest that PTV/CNVs, in genes/regions previously associated with NPD, may contribute to NPD in patients with EO.

Published: September 2019

In this study,
examining the production of plants made in nursery gardens connected to
Regional Directorates of Forestry is aimed. In this context, forest nurseries
located in the Marmara Region, where construction activities continue
intensively, are chosen as the area of the study. Within the scope of the
study, plant stocks and varieties of forest nursery plants in Marmara Region
have been revealed and analyses about the packaging environments and the size
of seedlings were made. As a result, in the Marmara Region forest nurseries,
which are the subjects of our study, it is observed that the production of
native plants is less than the exotic species. This shows us that the natural
vegetation is not sufficiently exploited. Within this study desired plant
species for any forestation or landscaping project in Marmara Region can be
obtained in the fastest and most economical way; and also the size of these
plants and the type of packaging can be easily learned.
Peningkatan Minat Belajar Seni Tari dengan Pendekatan Cooperative Learning Tipe Jigsaw Pada Siswa Kelas VIII.9 di SMP Negeri 13 Pekanbaru
Authors: Muharaini Junida
Published: September 2019

This study aims to determine the increase in student dance learning outcomes, the low interest in student learning due to the learning atmosphere that is still teacher-centered. Through the application of the jigsaw learning method, it is expected to increase students' interest and activeness, in the process of learning dance which has a positive impact on student learning outcomes. The research subjects were grade VIII.9 students at Pekanbaru State Middle School 13. The method used in collecting data is, observation, interviews and documentation. This research was carried out by carrying out class actions consisting of 2 cycles. The instruments used were observation sheets, assessment sheets, questionnaire questionnaires, interview guidelines and field notes. The results of the study showed that: (1) in the first cycle test students did not understand and could not do the task properly. This first cycle has 15 people who are not in accordance with the value of hope, there are 15 people who have not yet finished. This pattern is indeed easier for students, and according to the way of thinking many people tend to be less good at Lancang Kuning dance dancing, (2) in the second cycle of learning actually serves as a "stimulant" of students' ideas and thoughts. The application of the jigsaw cooperative learning approach in the study would be very appropriate for the Lancang Kuning dance practice. In the practice of dance students are not encountered with errors that are so meaningful as in cycle I. This is reinforced by 40 students fulfilling the criteria complete. (3) the application of the Lancang Kuning dance as an effort to increase the ability of Lancang Kuning dance learning proved significantly to students of Pekanbaru Public Middle School 13.
