Ocular Measures During Associative Learning Predict Recall Accuracy
Authors: Dave Aakash , Lehet Matthew , Diwadkar Vaibhav , Thakkar Katharine N.
Published: July 2020

The ability to form associations between stimuli and commit those associations to memory is a cornerstone of human cognition. Dopamine and noradrenaline are neuromodulators that are critically implicated in a range of cognitive functions, including learning and memory. Eye blink rate (EBR) and pupil diameter have been shown to index dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity. Here, we examined how these ocular measures relate to accuracy during a paired-associate learning task where participants learned consistent object-location associations over eight trials. We recorded EBR, pupil diameter, and visual scanning behavior in a largely young adult sample (N=73). We examined these ocular metrics in terms of between and within participant mean centered effects using linear mixed effects modeling. In the encoding and delay epochs, we found that increased accuracy was related to increased EBR relative to the individual’s own average rate within the respective epoch across the eight trials. Additionally, increased between participant mean centered EBR showed decreased accuracy in pre-trial fixation, encoding, and retrieval epochs, indicating that blinking more relative to others during these epochs was related to poorer recall. These effects of EBR on accuracy were observed even after controlling for the extent of visual scanning, which, during the delay epoch, also conferred a beneficial effect on recall accuracy. Finally, we found no effect of pupil diameter on accuracy. These results provide novel evidence supporting the utility of ocular metrics in illuminating cognitive and neurobiological mechanisms of paired associate learning.
Morphemes as letter chunks: Discovering affixes through visual regularities
Authors: Lelonkiewicz Jaroslaw Roman , Ktori Maria , Crepaldi Davide
Published: July 2020

During visual word processing readers identify chunks of co-occurring letters and code for their typical position within words. Using an artificial script, we examined whether these phenomena can be explained by the ability to extract visual regularities from the environment. Participants were first familiarized with a lexicon of pseudoletter strings, each comprising an affix-like chunk that either followed (Experiment 1) or preceded (Experiment 2) a random character sequence. In the absence of any linguistic information, chunks could be defined only by their statistical properties - similarly to affixes in the real language, chunks occurred frequently and assumed a specific position within strings. In a later testing phase, we found that participants were more likely to attribute a previously unseen string to the familiarization lexicon if it contained an affix, and if the affix appeared in its typical position. Importantly, these findings suggest that readers may chunk words using a general, language-agnostic cognitive mechanism that captures statistical regularities in the learning materials.

'We didn't be there for networking'. How French elite schools alumnis activate their relational ressources?
Authors: Bataille Pierre
Published: July 2020

Sociological or historical surveys on French elites highlighted at many occasions that "grandes écoles" graduated are over-represented at the top of the socio-professional hierarchy. These surveys showed that social capital constituted by passing through an elite higher educational institution and the co-optation networks among graduates from the same institution is a key asset to reach these prestigious social positions. But little is know on the concrete activation conditions of such relational resources. Focusing on one "grandes écoles" graduates subgroup (the graduates from one of the Ecole Normale Supérieure), our presentation aims to better understand how social capital is activated. Based on in-depth interview analysis and alumni associations archives analysis, we try to shed a light on the activation conditions of such relational school-based resources in diverse professional contexts. On the one hand, we show that crossing the analysis of the legitimate definition of the social link among the graduates and the norms and representations that structure the professional groups reached by graduates is a key insight to understand the relational resources activation possibilities. On the other, we analyze how the struggle within the alumni group to fix the « good » way of define school-based relational resources frame the activation possibilities of such resources.

Published: July 2020

Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology is considered as the gold standard for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of thyroid lesion by comparing it with the corresponding histopathologic diagnosis after thyroidectomy.

Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted over five years at a teaching hospital in Kathmandu. Eighty-nine cases of FNAC of thyroid nodule with subsequent histopathological reports were reviewed. The corresponding reports were compared and the accuracy of FNAC diagnosis was evaluated.

Results: 87% of the cases were females and the majority of cases were in the age group 41 to 50 years. Among 89 cases, 55 were reported as benign on cytology and 34 were reported as malignant. On histopathological examination, out of 55 cases diagnosed as benign on cytology, 47 cases were diagnosed as benign whereas eight cases were diagnosed as malignant. HPE of 34 cases diagnosed as malignant on cytology showed that 29 were malignant and five were benign. The false-positive rate was 9.6% and the false-negative rate was 21.6%. The sensitivity was 78.3% and specificity was 90.3%. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 85.2% and 85.4% respectively. The accuracy of FNAC in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid lesions was 85.3%.

Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that FNAC is a sensitive method for the diagnosis of a solid thyroid lesion

Published: July 2020

Cervical-vaginal infections are common problems in women of reproductive age presented with clinical features like white vaginal discharge, foul smelling odor and pruritis. Trichomonas vaginalis, Candidia and Gardnerella vaginalis are responsible for infectious vaginitis in creating anaerobic environment favoring Bacterial vaginosis caused by organisms like Gardnerella vaginalis, Chlamydia Trachomatis. Papanicolaou (Pap) smear examination is the simple, quick, painless routine screening test used for identification and detection of precancerous changes of uterine cervix as well as the cervico-vaginal infections resulting from bacterial, fungal and candida infections. The prime objective of the study was to identify the age wise distribution of cervical-vaginal infections and determine the frequency of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) and Bacterial vaginosis (BV). A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Pathology, Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu. A total of 163 cases of TV and BV diagnosed on Pap smear were taken for the study. However, 564 Pap smears were received in the Department of Pathology for cytological evaluation during the study period. Once the smears were stained, the presence of clue cells, cannon balls and Trichomonas were observed. Out of 564 Pap smears received during the study period, 163 cases were of BV, TV and combined BV and TV. These 163 cases were included in our study. The age ranged from 20 to 65 years with majority (19.1%) of the women belonging to 35-39 years and the mean age was 38.18 ± 10.18 years. There were 97 cases (17.2%) of BV, 50 cases (8.9%) of TV and 16 cases (2.8%) of TV and BV co-infection. Bacterial vaginosis was the most predominant type of cervicovaginal infection followed by TV infection and TV and BV co-infections. Trichomonas vaginalis may create an environment favoring the development of BV. Pap screening could be the beneficial tool in early disease diagnosis and helps in preventing further complications by starting appropriate treatment.
Peryferyjna obecność. Problem recepcji literatury staroserbskiej w Polsce
Authors: Lis-Wielgosz Izabela
Published: July 2020

In the article, a problem of translation of the old Serbian literary texts into Polish is discussed together with the basic mechanisms of the reception process of creativity revealed by the Orthodox Slavs from the Balkan region, that is, in other words, the works arisen in the circle of the Slaviae Orthodoxae and their presence in the Polish culture’s space which belonged to the circle of the Slaviae Latinae. The considerations regard the essence and function of translation, presence and absence of translated literature — its initial version in the target space, and their foundation is located in the collections of translations existing in the Polish reading circuit. The issue of the presence or position of the old South Slavonic literatures, namely, the old Serbian texts in their Polish translation, is featured in several possible perspectives. The problem is exposed in the aspect of these texts’ peripheral character and literary genetics.

Published: July 2020

The subject of the analysis is the presence of Jan Mukarovsky’s texts in the field of Polish literary theory and aesthetics. The achievements of Czech structuralism, of which he was an outstanding representative, seem to be indisputable, since to this day they are a more or less conscious element of modern knowledge about literature. The Czech structuralism heritage still amazes and intrigues with its scale, and it undoubtedly continues to be a grateful object of research by Polish theoreticians and translators.

Rezultati samoprocjene glasa nastavnika učenika bez teškoća i nastavnika učenika s posebnim obrazovnim potrebama u osnovnim školama
Authors: Kolundžić Zdravko , Pavičić Dokoza Katarina , Ćužić Martina
Published: July 2020

Glasovne sposobnosti iznimno su važne za osobe koje svoj glas koriste kao sredstvo rada, posebice kod nastavnika koji se ističu kao podskupina vokalnih profesionalaca koja je izložena mnogim rizičnim čimbenicima za nastanak poremećaja glasa. Malo je poznato u kojoj mjeri specifičnosti učenika, u smislu dodatnih zahtjeva koje njihovo poučavanje stavlja pred nastavnika, mogu negativno utjecati na vokalne sposobnosti nastavnika. Pritom se poglavito misli na razliku u načinu vokalne prezentacije nastavnika koji rade s učenicima bez teškoća i učenicima s posebnim obrazovnim potrebama u redovnim školama. U ovom istraživanju ispitane su dvije skupine: nastavnici koji rade u redovnoj osnovnoj školi s učenicima bez teškoća (N = 40) i nastavnici koji provode redovni program s učenicima koji imaju poremećaje komunikacije, jezika, govora i/ili oštećenje sluha (N = 30). Cilj je ispitati samopercepciju teškoća uzrokovanih poremećajem glasa između dviju skupina nastavnika na VHI (Indeks vokalnih teškoća) te utvrditi moguću prediktivnost kronološke dobi, godina staža, spola i pozitivne anamneze na rezultate samoprocjene. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju kako su statistički značajne razlike između dviju skupina nastavnika prisutne na podljestvici VHI-emocionalno u smislu lošijih rezultata nastavnika učenika bez teškoća, dok na drugim dvjema podljestvicama i ukupnom rezultatu ne postoje statistički značajne razlike. Regresijskom analizom potvrđena je prediktivnost pozitivne anamneze na rezultate VHI. Rezultati ovog istraživanja potvrđuju manju pojavnost poremećaja glasa unutar skupine nastavnika koji rade s učenicima s posebnim obrazovnim potrebama. Manja prevalencija i incidencija poremećaja glasa vjerojatno je posljedica boljih znanja o produkciji i higijeni glasa, manjeg broja učenika u razrednim odjeljenjima te korištenje elektroakustičkih uređaja tijekom nastave. No s obzirom na mali uzorak ispitanika i samo rezultate samoprocjene sudionika istraživanja, buduća istraživanja trebala bi uključiti veći uzorak i objektivnije varijable u cilju provjere rezultata ovog istraživanja i implikacija koje iz njega proizlaze.

Reliability of the radiopharmaceutical shunt flow study for the detection of a CSF shunt malfunction in the presence of stable ventricular size
Authors: Quezada Jeffrey J. , McComb J. Gordon
Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE

The authors sought to determine the reliability of a radiopharmaceutical (RP) shunt flow study for the detection of a CSF-diverting shunt malfunction in the presence of stable ventricular size.

METHODS

After the authors obtained IRB approval, all CSF RP shunt flow studies done between January 1, 2014, and January 1, 2019, in pediatric patients at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles were identified. Included in the study were only those patients in whom an MRI or CT scan was done during the hospital admission for shunt malfunction and showed no increase in ventricular size compared with the most recent prior MRI or CT scan when the patient was asymptomatic. Data recorded for analysis were patient age and sex, etiology of the hydrocephalus, shunt distal site, nonprogrammable versus programmable valve, operative findings if the shunt was revised, and follow-up findings for a minimum of 90 days after admission. The RP shunt flow study consisted of tapping the reservoir and injecting technetium-99m DTPA according to a set protocol.

RESULTS

The authors identified 146 RP flow studies performed in 119 patients meeting the above criteria. Four of the 146 RP studies (3%) were nondiagnostic secondary to technical failure and were excluded from statistical analysis. Of the 112 normal flow studies, operative intervention was not undertaken in 102 (91%). The 10 (9%) remaining normal studies were performed in patients who underwent operative intervention, in which 8 patients had a proximal obstruction, 1 had a distal obstruction, and 1 patient had no obstruction. Of the 30 patients with abnormal flow studies, symptoms of shunt malfunction subsided in 9 (30%) patients and these patients did not undergo operative intervention. Of the 21 (70%) operated patients, obstruction was proximal in 9 patients and distal in 5, and for 7 patients the shunt tubing was either fractured or disconnected. Regression analysis indicated a significant association between the flow study interpretation and the odds for shunt revision (OR 27, 95% CI 10–75, p < 0.0001). No other clinical variables were significant. The sensitivity of a shunt flow study alone for detection of shunt malfunction in cases with stable ventricular size was the same as a shunt flow study plus an MRI or CT (70% vs 70%), but performing a shunt flow in addition to MRI or CT did increase the specificity from 92% to 100% and the accuracy from 87% to 94%.

CONCLUSIONS

RP shunt flow studies were of definite value in deciding whether to operatively intervene in patients with symptoms of shunt malfunction in whom no change in ventricular size was detected on current MRI or CT scans compared to scans obtained when the patients were asymptomatic.

Diante das neoformações malignas de cabeça e pescoço, o carcinoma mucoepidermoide apresenta-se como uma das manifestações de grande ocorrência, sendo a região do palato a mais envolvida. Podendo o tratamento resultar em mutilações na cavidade oral, ocasionando comunicação bucosinusal, a qual poderá ser restaurada por intermédio de próteses obturadoras. O objetivo do presente trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de confecção de prótese obturadora palatina oca em paciente portador de carcinoma mucoepidermoide após maxilectomia parcial, e, a técnica de moldagem facial prévia a tratamento cirúrgico de recidiva. Paciente buscou atendimento odontológico, mencionando apresentar sua prótese total obturadora mal adaptada devido o tempo de uso. Seu plano de tratamento, consistiu na confecção da prótese obturadora pela técnica da clonagem e prótese parcial removível convencional. Após alguns meses, detectou-se clinicamente a recidiva da lesão, onde foi realizado novo procedimento cirúrgico, o qual não obteve sucesso. Então optou-se por outra abordagem, desenvolvendo a moldagem facial, pois uma cirurgia mais invasiva seria necessária, podendo trazer consequências na face. A paciente encontrava-se em tratamento radioterápico, sendo a nova intervenção médica escolhida. A prótese obturadora é uma alternativa eficaz na reabilitação de pacientes submetidos a ressecções cirúrgicas, as quais resultaram em mutilações. Sendo assim, a escolha pela técnica da clonagem com algumas modificações, nesse caso além do custo-benefício, as etapas clínicas e laboratoriais foram reduzidas e como consequência a substituição da prótese foi mais rápida eficaz. Além disso, é de grande relevância o papel dessa reabilitação na reintegração do indivíduo no meio biopsicossocial, o restabelecimento da função, estética e conforto.

Este artículo reflexiona sobre la antijuridicidad como parte estructural del delito, y su relación con la tipicidad. Los estudios sobre la estructura del tipo, observan la vinculación estrecha que existe entre la tipicidad y la antijuridicidad; hasta tal punto que se hace imposible la existencia de la primera sin la segunda. Varias teorías, en el ámbito del derecho penal, se han expuesto para fundamentar el principio según el cual no hay antijuridicidad, sin tipicidad. Sin embargo, según otros autores, como Beling hay acciones adecuadas al delito-tipo que no son antijurídicas, por ejemplo: la muerte de un hombre en legítima defensa, y acciones antijurídicas que no se adecuan a un tipo, por ejemplo: en el actual derecho alemán el furtum usus, o el incumplimiento de contrato.

Indonesia bears a huge burden on health problems arising from cigarette consumption. Many policies have been made by the government in order to control national cigarette consumption. One way is to increase the price of cigarettes. This research was conducted to determine the effect of cigarette prices with the income of student allowances on cigarette consumption. The research method used in this study is multiple linear regression. The data used in this study are primary data obtained using a survey in Jatinangor. Data collection techniques used in this study were random sampling, with a total of 60 students respondent. Data Characteristics of respondents in this study include cigarette prices, monthly allowance income and the number of cigarette consumption per month of students who live in Jatinangor. Based on the results of multiple linear regression analysis, it is found that the price of cigarettes and student allowance income has a positive and significant effect on cigarette consumption. This result can be a recommendation for the government that an increase in cigarette prices cannot significantly reduce cigarette consumption. The government can issue a smoking ban that is more effective in controlling the consumption of cigarettes to students.

Published: July 2020

Pelagia noctilucais the most successful and well-studied jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea. This species tolerates a wide range of water temperatures and succeeds in low to medium food regimes, but factors driving its distribution and population dynamics remain poorly understood. Here we applied a multiscale analytical approach using survey data and a physical-biochemical coupled model to assess how environmental factors affect the 3-dimensional distribution and seasonal abundance ofP. noctilucaearly life stages. The surveys took place after the spring bloom, when warm water favors fecundity and growth, but food shortage limits the reproductive investment and early survival. We found that most early life stages ofP. noctilucaremained above the shallow thermocline and upper mixed layer where temperature is warm. Their spatial distribution was positively correlated with surface chlorophyll concentration, and over 90% of the variation in interannual abundance was explained by basin-scale productivity in June. Warmer water during winter and spring seasons coupled with protracted spring blooms increase the population ofP. noctiluca, and this explains the trend of increasing outbreaks observed in the western Mediterranean Sea over the past decades.
Eggs of echinoids separated by the Isthmus of Panama harbor divergent microbiota
Authors: Carrier TJ , Lessios HA , Reitzel AM
Published: July 2020

Relationships between animals and their associated microbiota are dependent on both the evolutionary history of the host and on the environment. The majority of studies tend to focus on either one of these factors but rarely consider how both determine the community composition of the associated microbiota. One ‘natural experiment’ to test how evolutionary history, shared environments, and the interaction between these factors drive community composition is to compare geminate species pairs. Echinoids separated by the Isthmus of Panama are suitable for this comparison due to their known evolutionary history and differences in the oceanographic characteristics of the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. By comparing the bacterial communities of the eggs of Echinometra and Diadema geminate species pairs, we show that each pair of geminate species associates with a distinct bacterial community in a pattern consistent with phylosymbiosis, and that the interaction between the evolutionary history of the host and the environment best explains differences in these communities. Moreover, we found that the relative abundance of particular bacterial taxa differed considerably between the 2 bodies of water and that the 2 Caribbean Echinometra species were dominated by unclassified bacterial taxa within the phototrophic Oxyphotobacteria. Taken together, data presented here support the hypothesis that the bacterial communities associated with geminate species are another characteristic of these species that have diverged in ~2.8 million years of isolation.

Mit unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen von Sprachplanung und Sprach(en)politik kommt jeder Sprachbenutzer in Berührung – sei es zum Beispiel bei der Rechtschreibreform, bei Debatten über Anglizismen, bei Diskussionen über den Gebrauch des Deutschen in der EU oder bei der Entscheidung, welche Fremdsprache(n) man lehren oder lernen soll. All dies impliziert verschiedene Verhaltensweisen der beteiligten Akteure gegenüber der Sprache, also unterschiedlich komplexe metasprachliche Aktivitäten, die den Fokus der Sprachmanagementtheorie bilden. In der Einleitung des Bandes werden – zum ersten Mal im deutschsprachigen Kontext – Sprachplanung/Sprach(en)politik und Sprachmanagementtheorie in Beziehung gesetzt. Exkursorisch werden außerdem Sprachenrecht, europäische Sprachenpolitik und Deutsch im Licht von Sprachplanung/Sprach(en)politik und Sprachmanagement thematisiert. Der Band umfasst grundlegende Arbeiten, die methodologisch und im Sinne des Theorieaufbaus besonders aussagekräftig und allgemein anwendbar sind, sowie Werke, die den Fokus auf deutschsprachige Länder und/oder Deutsch als Einzelsprache legen.
Конвенциональная и неконвенциональная медицина в современной Литве: опыт пациента
Authors: Šatūnienė Reda
Published: July 2020

Публикация фокусируется ​​на исследованиях основных причин, поощряющих индивидов больше полагаться на неконвенциональную (или ДАМ), чем на современную биомедицину. Автор стремится ответить на вопросы: почему пациенты разочарованы традиционной медициной; как пациенты понимают само состояние «здоровья»; какие индивидуальные понимания «неконвенционого», или «альтернативного исцеления», доминируют? В статье исследуется коммуникативный аспект в медицинской системе: взаимное доверие, понимание и непонимание (возможно и недоверие) между врачами и пациентами. Автор, опираясь на эмпирический опыт пациентов, старается актуализировать и изучить, каким образом антропологические исследования могли бы служить посредником между «старыми» и «новыми» знаниями и как их возможно было бы применить в области здравоохранения.

Diabetes significantly induces cognitive dysfunction. Neuronal apoptosis is the main cause of diabetes-induced cognitive decline (DICD). Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are remarkably activated by diabetes. The role and relationship of ASK1-JNK1/2 signaling and ER stress in DICD have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we used db/db mice as the DICD animal model and confirmed that db/db mice displayed cognitive decline with inferior learning and memory function. Diabetes significantly induced morphological and structural changes, excessive neuronal apoptosis, Aβ1–42 large deposition, and synaptic dysfunction in the hippocampus. Mechanistic studies found that diabetes significantly triggered ASK1-JNK1/2 signaling activation and increased ER stress in the hippocampus. Moreover, diabetes enhanced the formation of the IRE1α–TRAF2–ASK1 complex, which promotes the crosstalk of ER stress and the ASK1-JNK1/2 pathway during DICD. Furthermore, 4-PBA treatment blocked high glucose (HG)-induced ASK1-JNK1/2 signaling activation, and excessive apoptosis in vitro. Inhibiting ASK1 via siRNA remarkably ameliorated the HG-induced increase in p-IRE1α and associated apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells, suggesting that ASK1 is essential for the assembly and function of the proapoptotic kinase activity of the IRE1α signalosome. In summary, ER stress and ASK1-JNK1/2 signaling play causal roles in DICD development, which has crosstalk through the formation of the IRE1α–TRAF2–ASK1 complex.

Published: July 2020

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global public health crisis due to its high contagious characteristics. In this article, we propose a new epidemic-dynamics model combining the transmission characteristics of COVID-19 and then use the reported epidemic data from 15 February to 30 June to simulate the spread of the Italian epidemic. Numerical simulations showed that (1) there was a remarkable amount of asymptomatic individuals; (2) the lockdown measures implemented by Italy effectively controlled the spread of the outbreak; (3) the Italian epidemic has been effectively controlled, but SARS-CoV-2 will still exist for a long time; and (4) the intervention of the government is an important factor that affects the spread of the epidemic.

Published: July 2020

Drug-induced gingival overgrowth may occur after a chronic administration of three classes of systemic drugs: Anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, and calcium channel blockers. This study aimed to investigate how cyclosporin A and mycophenolate mophetil (immunosuppressive drugs) could interfere with human gingival fibroblasts functions, leading to gingival enlargement. Human gingival fibroblasts derived from the tissue of a 60-year-old female were cultured in a DMEME medium. A stock solution with 1 mg/mL of mycophenolate and 1 mg/mL of cyclosporine were prepared and dissolved in a DMEM medium to prepare a serial dilution at the concentrations of 5000, 2000, 1000, 500, and 100 ng/mL, for both treatments. Cell viability was measured using the PrestoBlue™ Reagent Protocol. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was performed in order to analyze the expression of 57 genes coding for gingival fibroblasts “Extracellular Matrix and Adhesion Molecules”. Mycophenolate and cyclosporine had no effect on fibroblast cell viability at 1000 ng/mL. Both the treatments showed similar effects on the expression profiling of treated cells: Downregulation of most extracellular matrix metalloproteases genes (MMP8, MMP11, MMP15, MMP16, MMP24) was assessed, while CDH1, ITGA2, ITGA7, LAMB3, MMP12, and MMP13 were recorded to be upregulated in fibroblasts treated with immunosuppressive drugs. It has been demonstrated that gingival overgrowth can be caused by the chronic administration of cyclosporin A and mycophenolate mophetil. However, given the contrasting data of literature, further investigations are needed, making clear the possible effects of immunosuppressive drugs on fibroblasts.
A Technique for Frequency Converter-Fed Asynchronous Motor Vibration Monitoring and Fault Classification, Applying Continuous Wavelet Transform and Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Zimnickas Tomas , Vanagas Jonas , Dambrauskas Karolis , Kalvaitis Artūras
Published: July 2020

In this article, a type of diagnostic tool for an asynchronous motor powered from a frequency converter is proposed. An all-purpose, effective, and simple method for asynchronous motor monitoring is used. This method includes a single vibration measuring device fixed on the motor’s housing to detect faults such as worn-out or broken bearings, shaft misalignment, defective motor support, lost phase to the stator, and short circuit in one of the phase windings in the stator. The gathered vibration data are then standardized and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is applied for feature extraction. Using morl wavelets, the algorithm is applied to all the datasets in the research and resulting scalograms are then fed to a complex deep convolutional neural network (CNN). Training and testing are done using separate datasets. The resulting model could successfully classify all the defects at an excellent rate and even separate mechanical faults from electrical ones. The best performing model achieved 97.53% accuracy.
Uncertainty Quantification Methodologies Applied to the Rotor Tip Clearance Effect in a Twin Scroll Radial Turbine
Authors: Cravero Carlo , Ottonello Andrea
Published: July 2020

In the last three decades computer simulation tools have achieved wide spread use in the design and analysis of engineering devices. This has shortened the overall product design cycle (physical experiments may be impossible during early design stages) and it has also provided better understanding of the operating behavior of the systems under investigation. As a consequence numerical simulation have led to a reduction of physical prototyping and to lower costs for manufacturing production chains. Despite this success, it remains difficult to provide objective confidence levels in quantitative information derived from numerical predictions. The complexity arises from the amount of uncertainties related to the inputs of any computation attempting to represent a physical system. This paper focuses on geometrical sources of uncertainty in the field of CFD applied to twin scroll radial turbines. In particular it has been investigated the effect of uncertainties on tip clearance values at rotor blade leading edge and trailing edge on selected turbine performance parameters. The analysis shows the use of the Surrogate-based uncertainty quantification technique that has been setup by the authors in the Dakota® environment. The polynomial chaos expansion method has been applied to the same case. The comparison of the results coming from the different approaches and the discussion of the pros and cons related to each technique lead to interesting conclusions, which are proposed as guidelines for future UQ applications on the theme of CFD applied to radial turbines.

Authors: Wang Yanyan , Zhang Jin
Published: July 2020

New health-related concepts, terms, and topics emerge, and the meanings of existing terms and topics keep changing. This study investigated and explored the evolutions of the women’s health topic on Wikipedia. The creation time, page views data, page edits data, and text of historical versions of 207 women-health-related entries from 2010 to 2017 on Wikipedia were collected. Coding, subject analysis, descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, and Self-Organizing Map and n-gram approaches were employed to explore the characteristics and evolutions of the entries for the women’s health topic. The results show that the number of the women-health-related entries kept increasing from 2010 to 2017, and nearly half of them were related to the supports and protection of women’s health. The total number of page views of the investigated items increased from 2011 to 2013, but it decreased from 2013 to 2017, while the total number of page edits stayed stable from 2010 to 2017. Growing subjects were found during the investigated period, such as abuse and violence, and family planning and reproduction. However, the entries related to the economy and politics were diminishing. There was no association between the internal characteristic evolution and the external popularity evolution of the women’s health topic.

Published: July 2020

A wave glider is a novel unmanned marine vehicle which can convert marine energy into kinetic energy. In practice, it is crucial for the wave glider system to deploy into the ocean environment efficiently and safely. Hence, the present work establishes the wave glider motion equations to analyze the deployment method. Firstly, the wave glider model is simplified in the vertical plane and the cable model is defined as mass nodes connected with a massless spring. Then, two typical deployment methods (Method 1 and Method 2) are proposed based on the multibody dynamic method, and the numerical simulation model is established to investigate the kinematic performance of two deployment methods. Lastly, the dynamic characteristic analysis is conducted to select the determined deployment method. We explain the practical advantages of Method 1, which would provide the reference for the deployment method selection.
An Accurate and Practical Explicit Hybrid Method for the Chan–Vese Image Segmentation Model

Published: July 2020

In this paper, we propose a computationally fast and accurate explicit hybrid method for image segmentation. By using a gradient flow, the governing equation is derived from a phase-field model to minimize the Chan–Vese functional for image segmentation. The resulting governing equation is the Allen–Cahn equation with a nonlinear fidelity term. We numerically solve the equation by employing an operator splitting method. We use two closed-form solutions and one explicit Euler’s method, which has a mild time step constraint. However, the proposed scheme has the merits of simplicity and versatility for arbitrary computational domains. We present computational experiments demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed method on real and synthetic images.
