Multi-Objective Optimization of the Seawall Cross-Section by DYCORS Algorithm
Authors: Tao Yuanyuan , Lin Pengzhi
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this research is to develop a new method for automatically optimizing the seawall cross-section with composite slopes and a berm, considering both overtopping discharge and construction cost. Minimizing these competing multi-objectives is highly challenging due to the intricate geometry of seawalls. In this study, the surrogate model optimization algorithm DYCORS (Dynamic COordinate search using Response Surface models) is employed to search for the optimal seawall geometry, coupled with the ANN (Artificial Neural Network) model for determining the overtopping discharge. A total of 20 trials have been run to evaluate the performance of our methodology. Even the worst-performing Trial 7 among these 20 trials shows a satisfactory performance, with a reduction of 17.67% in overtopping discharge and a 12.1% decrease in cost compared to the original solution. Furthermore, compared to other optimization schemes using GAs (Genetic Algorithms) with the same decision vectors, constraints, and multi-objective functions, the methodology has been proven to be more effective and robust. Additionally, when facing different combinations of wave conditions and water levels, there was a 27.8% reduction in objective function value compared to the original solution. The optimal results indicate that this method can still be effectively applied for optimizing the seawall cross-section as it is a general method.

Published: August 2024

In order to explore the feasibility of using algae to treat the fly ash leachate from a safe landfill site, leachate samples taken from a certain safe landfill site in Wenzhou City were treated with two different microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus, and the effectiveness of each treatment was evaluated in terms of its efficiency of pollutant removal. The effects of conditions such as pretreatment of leachate by sterilization, the initial concentration of leachate, and the addition of nutrients on pollutant removal efficiency and algae growth were studied. Sterilization of the leachate was found to have a relatively small impact on the growth of C. vulgaris and S. obliquus, as well as the removal of pollutants from the leachate. Therefore, sterilization treatment may not be necessary for engineering applications. Algal growth and the removal of pollutants were optimal when the leachate was used at a concentration of 10%, but when the leachate concentration was 30% or higher, the growth of both algae was weakened. The inclusion of 0.2 g/L K2HPO4·3H2O and 0.06 g/L ammonium ferric citrate in the system led to higher algal growth and pollutant removal. The chlorophyll a levels of C. vulgaris and S. obliquus were 555.53% and 265.15%, respectively, and the nitrogen removal rates were also the highest, reaching 59.51% and 56.69%, respectively. This study optimized the cultivation conditions of a microalgae treatment leachate system, providing technical support and a theoretical basis for the practical engineering of a harmless treatment of leachate.
A Universal Electric Vehicle Outlet and Portable Cable for North America
Authors: Kempton Willett , McGee Rodney T. , Ejzak Garrett A.
Published: August 2024

For electric vehicle (EV) charging in North America, three AC connectors are standardized, resulting in a proliferation of charging stations which can only charge one of the three types of EV. We propose a “Universal EV Outlet” that works with an EV “carry along” charging cable—one end of the cable has a connector specific to that user’s EV, the other a plug for the Universal EV Outlet. This proposal does not interfere with, nor require change to, any existing charging stations. It does not require any new types of inlets on EVs. The components are already standardized. Eight use cases are examined to illustrate the advantages, and some limitations, of the Universal EV Outlet. The use cases illustrate how this solution: resolves the problem of multiple AC charging connectors, makes today’s “EV Ready” building codes more adaptable, lowers capital and maintenance costs, creates a solution to curbside and urban charging, increases energy efficiency, enables higher power three-phase AC charging for heavy vehicles, and facilitates use of EVs for building backup power and for vehicle-to-grid. Finally, we propose a standards-based active cable used with the Universal EV Outlet, which would allow fast and secure EV identification for curbside or other shared charging locations, usable today without modifications to current EVs.

Published: August 2024

The food crisis is a very big global problem because it is related to the livelihood of many people. This problem is closely related to agriculture. Agriculture is an activity of utilizing biological resources to meet food needs starting from land processing, planting, gathering, maintenance to harvest and post-harvest. Agriculture is the most important sector in maintaining food security or it can also be defined as a condition of fulfilling food for every household which is reflected in the availability of sufficient food, both in quantity and quality, safe, evenly distributed and affordable. Agriculture is a source of life for every country in the world. from the past until today. This can be seen from every development of human civilization where agriculture has always had a crucial role or even been the cause of a civilization that can progress and develop. Every country has different problems related to agriculture. As time progresses, the world's population increases, accompanied by the construction of housing and public facilities, on the other hand, there is less and less agricultural land due to this development. In addition there are several other problems such as the difficulty of regeneration of farmers, the distribution system and access to capital. This requires an innovation in order to adapt to the digitalera to be able to solve these problems.

Authors: Purnomo Hadi , Nurcahyani Indah Sri
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR) on Return on Assets (ROA). To support the research, a causal associative method with a quantitative approach was used. The study was conducted on state-owned banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2014-2021. The samples used in this study were 4 state-owned banks consisting of PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk, and PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk. The data analysis technique uses simple linear regression, correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing. The results showed that LDR did not affect ROA. So, the high profits obtained by state-owned banks come from income other than loan interest income. This research is expected to improve the financial performance of state-owned banks by still paying attention to the percentage of LDR to obtain maximum profit

Even though the obligation to carry out a Covid-19 booster vaccination still applies to long trips using public transportation in Indonesia. One clause regarding checking policy for symptoms of Covid-19 is still often ignored by train passengers because the symptoms of Covid19 are still similar to those of influenza. Somehow, the travel policy is not fair for comorbid person which cannot have Covid-19 vaccination. This research goal is to propose an alternative policy, which is a part of policy management framework, to prevent the transmission of covid19 by long-distance train travel in new era when the enforcement of Covid-19 regulation has been repealed. As alternative of Covid-19 vaccination requirement, the use of data mining algorithm will be proposed ning algorithm to determine whether or not it is permissible to travel long distances by using the dominant covid-19 like symptoms. The results of this study are in the form of a reasoning knowledge regarding the symptoms that passengers need to pay close attention to avoid the risk of transmission of Covid-19. Even though the accuracy of the decision is still 66.67% using C4.5 algorithm, it is the first step to be implemented in a new era, namely the era of prevention of Covid-19, no longer an era of mitigation.

TACTICAL RISK DURING INCIDENT SCENE INSPECTION
Authors:   Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University, Hurina D.
Published: August 2024

The scientific article is devoted to the consideration of tactical risk during the inspection of the scene of the incident as an independent conceptual category and the development of a number of practical recommendations for avoiding negative results in the event of a certain tactical decision and the use of tactical risk in law enforcement practice. The author singled out two groups of factors (objective and subjective in nature) that cause the investigator to resort to tactical risk when conducting an inspection of the scene of the incident. Tactical risk in the article is defined as a situation during the investigation as a whole and the conduct of a separate investigative (search) or procedural action that threatens the failure of the investigator's plan; as an assumption of a negative result of certain procedural actions; as an activity that will be carried out under conditions of choice, when there is a danger that in case of "failure" one will be in a worse position than before choosing certain actions. It is noted that any situation that has developed under conditions of tactical risk has instability, the alternative of choosing a decision and the possibility of assessing the consequences of the choice made. At the same time, it is impossible to avoid making a decision, since this action is related to a direct risk assessment. The effectiveness of the implementation of tactical decisions depends on the choice of risk criteria, the maximum permissible risk value of a certain decision in the activity, and even on the assessment of the possible results of these decisions. The activity of the investigator in conditions of uncertainty is related to making decisions with different levels of risk, and his task is to minimize this risk. The scientific work highlights general recommendations for neutralizing the negative consequences of tactical risk with minimal losses for the investigator: forensic examination of all previously made decisions and implementation of actions in search of errors; comparison of detected errors with the results of the analysis of the tactical risk situation; determination of a set of measures to correct errors and prevent future (possible) errors; reviewing all source information, using it for elemental and complex analyzes of the situation; investigation of the situation taking into account another investigative strategy. The most rational actions are proposed from the point of view of minimizing the degree of tactical risk during the inspection of the scene of the incident. Keywords: tactical risk; forensic tactics; tactical decision; investigative review; inspection of the scene; investigative error.

Published: August 2024

Rapid and nondestructive monitoring of the temporal dynamic changes of agronomic traits of lodging maize is crucial for evaluating the growth recovery status. The purpose of this study is to assess the time-series changes in maize growth recovery after lodging using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral technology. Based on the Entropy method, canopy height (CH) and canopy coverage (CC) were used to represent the canopy structure index (CSI), while leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) and plant water content (PWC) were used to represent the physiological activity index (PAI). Based on the theory of normal (skewed) distribution, the growth recovery grade (GRG) of lodging maize was divided based on the estimated CSI and PAI values. The main results were as follows: (a) With the advance of days after lodging (DAL), CH was decreased after increasing, while other agronomic traits exhibited a downward trend. (b) TheR2values for the CH, CC, LCC, and PWC estimation model were 0.75, 0.69, 0.54, and 0.49, respectively, while the MAPE values were 14.03%, 8.84%, 16.62%, and 6.22%, respectively, in the testing set. (c) The growth recovery of lodging maize was classified using the threshold based on estimated CSI and PAI, achieving an overall accuracy of 77.68%. Therefore, the method for evaluating maize growth recovery after lodging proved effective in monitoring lodging damage. This study provided a reference for the efficient and nondestructive monitoring of growth recovery in lodging maize using UAV-based hyperspectral images.
TOWARDS MASSIVE SCREENING FOR HIV CURE AMONG HIV-INFECTED INJECTION DRUG USERS WITH LONG-TERM NONPROGRESSION TO AIDS
Authors: Suslov K.V. , Berzina A.G.
Published: August 2024

In this Perspective article the molecular mechanisms responsible for long-term nonprogression of HIV-infection in injection drug users (IDUs) are proposed. Opioid-mediated transient immunosuppression in HIV-infected IDUs might lead to induction of neutralization-enhancing RF (rheumatoid factor) antibodies (NeRFa) for an efficient neutralization of HIV. Further research in this direction might be promising not only for prolongation of life of HIV-infected IDUs, but also may lead to complete eradication of HIV. Massive screening of IDUs with long-term nonprogressive HIV-infection for the presence of anti-HIV antibodies might reveal the new cases of complete viral elimination with perspectives for achievement of an optimized transient immunosuppression regimen (Suslov KV, Med Hypotheses, 2019) for HIV cure.
Cold Atom Physics: Trapping Methods And Detection Schemes.
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Bandi Thejesh
Published: August 2024

"The work presented in this thesis is concerned with the manipulation of laser- cooled rubidium atoms and the detection of small numbers of cold atoms using very sensitive light detectors. Laser-cooled atoms are atoms that have been slowed to very low velocities, corresponding to temperatures of the order of 100 //K, and they can be trapped in magnetic and/or optical traps. The advantage of using cold atoms for experiments in atomic and quantum physics stems from the fact that these atoms are effectively confined within a region of space and this provides longer interaction and observation times compared to atoms at room temperature. Hence, it is possible to explore and observe a number of effects that would otherwise be extremely challenging. The achievement of laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms was a major breakthrough in the mid 80’s and has resulted in significant advances being made in modern spectroscopy, the realisation of Bose-Einstein condensation, atomic clocks, and quantum information technologies amongst others. In particular, the work focuses on two theoretical proposals for developing microtraps for cold rubidium atoms involving (i) ultrathin optical fibres and (ii) wavelength sized apertures in thin films. In addition, a number of experimental techniques are explored with emphasis on the detection of small numbers of atoms near ultrathin optical fibres using both avalanche photodiodes and single photon detectors. A study on the interactions between atoms and photons is crucial for a full understanding of quantum mechanical processes at the few atom scale and detection schemes sensitive to very low levels of fluorescence from the laser-cooled atoms are vital for attaining this goal. Finally, an experimental study on the design and fabrication of arrays of silica microdisks, that could be used for facilitating interactions between cold atoms and photons, is presented."
Anaerobic Digestion: Decision Support Software
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Poliafico Marco
Published: August 2024

"Ireland has significant quantities of livestock; meat exportation is a vibrant sector of the economy. Environmental management of animal wastes has therefore become an important concern. On the other hand in the last decade, national and EU policy debate has highlighted the need to investigate alternative energy: in particular energy for transport. This study investigates the quantities of animal wastes produced in Ireland and their potential treatment using Anaerobic Digestion technologies. In 2005 Ireland had over 8 millions animals (cattle and pigs) and the annual slaughter accounted for over 4.2 million of these creatures. These animals have been responsible for the production of about 86 million tons of excreta per annum, whereas the abattoir industiy produced more than 750,000 tons of carcasses per annum. These wastes can be employed as feedstock in Anaerobic Digestion processes and provide biogas which can be upgraded to methane and used as transport fuel. From 1 ton of cattle slurry it is possible to produce about 21 Nm^ of biogas whereas from 1 ton of pig slurry it is possible to produce about 24 Nnv of biogas. Carcasses have a higher energy potential with a specific biogas yield of about 168 Nm^ of biogas per ton of waste. A Decision Support Software for assessment of biogas production from animal wastes has been produced. It contains: 1. A geographical database of livestock and abattoir throughout Ireland; 2. An Energy potential model to estimate the biogas production from a specific number of animals (input of the model); 3. An economic model to evaluate costs and incomes associated to Biogas plants; 4. A location model to identify valuable areas for biogas projects development. With the highest number of livestock (1,319,874) matched with the highest number or slaughterhouses (5 IPPC licensed abattoir and 60 local abattoir), Cork County appears to be the area with most potential for biogas developments. Other counties which exhibit great potential include: Cavan, Tipperary, Galway and Mayo. These counties all have high livestock numbers and a significant presence of slaughterhouses."
Evaluation Of Four Novel Broad-host-range Antimicrobial Agents.
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Guo Jiahui
Published: August 2024

The overall objective of this thesis was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of four novel broad-host-range antimicrobial agents. The first was a milk-derived lipoprotein developed by Westgate Biologicals with the support of Enterprise Ireland. This lipoprotein which was designated LactiSAL, was evaluated against a wide range of bacterial species associated with humans. Essentially, the LactiSAL was incorporated at a variety of concentrations into agar media, which were appropriate for cultivation of the different genera. Agars were examined for colony formation, after which it was possible to quantify the minimal inhibitory concentration for each genus. Subsequently, LactiSAL was incorporated at levels close to the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) into early log phase broth cultures for each genus. Optical density and bacterial titres were monitored throughout the growth cycle. The results indicated that the lipoprotein brought about lysis of bacterial cells, as evidenced by a reduction in optical density and a reduction in bacterial titre. This was confirmed by assays for leakage of the intracellular enzyme Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDfl). Concentrations in the range of 0.1 to 0.4% LactiSAL were sufficient to inhibit Grampositive bacteria, whereas levels of 2.0% or greater were necessary to inhibit Gram negatives. Various physical factors influencing its activity were recorded. The LactiSAL was also evaluated in the porcine gastrointestinal tract environment at levels dictated by Westgate Biologicals. The antimicrobial effect was significantly reduced in this environment and this is thought to have resulted from the degradative activity of digestive-tract enzymes. The second part of this thesis focussed on Cyclic dipeptide: Cyclo-(L-Leu-L-Pro); Cyclic dipeptide: Cyclo-(L-Phe-L-Pro) and Phenyllactic Acid. These three low molecular weight antimicrobial agents are naturally produced by Lactobacillus plantarum FSTL7. Initial antimicrobial assays were performed with the producer strains on neutralized MRS agar. These were followed up by studies with chemically synthesized pure forms of each of the three compounds. The approach for antimicrobial assays in this case used was broadly similar to that used for LactiSAL. As with lactiSAL, these agents were evaluated against a wide range of bacterial genera and its inhibitory levels were defined. The study confirmed that all four compounds have a broad inhibitory spectrum which includes Gram-positive and -negative bacteria and also fungi.

Published: August 2024

The thesis research proposed herein will model, analyse and implement strategies for the development of personalised services. The goal of the research work is to design and implement a framework which supports developers by minimising the effort required in implementing personalised services. This includes the ability to react to localisation changes and to present proper information. An overall design goal is the independency of most components from each other which will be attained through the use of standard technologies and protocols and the consistent use of a component model. The result will include the proposed framework and the analyses of several existing projects and products which might be included in the project in exchange of a developed component. As a proof of concept, a prototype application will be developed, that demonstrates the basic functionality of the proposed framework. During the research work the focus of this thesis has slightly changed. At the beginning the main focus was the internal communication and the architecture - in particular the backend connectivity. Since there are already some approaches and systems that help at backed connectivity problem, the focus is now on the personalisation part of the framework. The personalisation aspect turned out to be the most interesting part and something that it is worth advancing since it is a relatively new approach and is not yet a standard aspect of the current IT world.

El trasplante de páncreas ofrece la cura de la enfermedad a aquellas personas que padecen diabetes mellitus. Este trasplante se usa solamente en personas que presentan graves complicaciones de esta enfermedad, principalmente a personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 1. Este tipo de trasplante se realiza a muy pocas personas, comparado con otros tipos de trasplantes, y no se lleva a cabo en muchas ciudades, por lo que no hay muchos estudios acerca de ello. Los trasplantes pueden provocar algunas complicaciones psicológicas en ciertas personas y los profesionales sanitarios no son conocedores de muchas de ellas. Por todo esto, se va a llevar a cabo un estudio cualitativo de tipo fenomenológico, en el que se va a investigar el posible impacto psicológico que ha podido provocar este trasplante a estos pacientes. Toda esta información se obtendrá realizando entrevistas en el Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, siendo este líder nacional de trasplantes realizados al año. Las entrevistas serán grabadas mediante una grabadora de voz, se transcriben los audios a través del programa Talktyper y los datos que se obtengan se analizarán mediante el software NVivo.

Aim – to study the frequency of single-nucleotide variants (SNV) rs1801133 and rs1801131 of the MTHFR gene; rs1801394 of the MTRR gene, rs1805087 of the MTR gene and rs1051266 of the SLC19A1 gene in women with epilepsy and to evaluate their associations with major congenital malformations (MCM) of the fetus.
Material and methods. The study included 61 women with epilepsy who have children: 20 had different fetal MCM (main group), 41 patients had children born without MCM (comparison group). DNA was extracted from blood, and the genotyping of five SNVs into four genes was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction. The frequencies of genotypes and alleles in the mothers of the main and the comparison group were determined, the differences were assessed using Pearson's chi-squared criterion (χ2) and Fisher's exact criterion.
Results. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequencies of genotypes and alleles for all analyzed SNVs between the main group and the comparison group. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequencies of genotypes and alleles of SNV of the studied genes of the folate cycle in mothers of children with malformations (n = 14) and without malformations (n = 22), taking valproic acid. A statistically significant relationship was revealed between the carrier of a certain haplogroup of the mother and the formation of fetal MCM.
Conclusion. The MCM in a child is a multifactorial phenomenon in which genetic factors with a small effect size can play a significant role only in the case of certain unfavorable combinations.

Measured electronic stopping powers along the 〈0001〉 direction (S
e) of 4H-SiC and 2H-GaN for low-velocity 12Mg, 13Al, and 15P ions were reproduced with the modified El-Hoshy−Gibbons model that reduced not only the atomic numbers of projectiles and targets but also the impact parameter for small-angle collisions (based on the Kohn−Sham radii of projectiles) in the Firsov model. Unreported S
e of 2H-GaN for low-velocity 14Si ions was then predicted to be between S
e of 2H-GaN for 12Mg ions and S
e of 4H-SiC for 13Al ions, indicating not only Al and Mg but also Si channeling being usable for fabricating cost-effective superjunctions.
