A Hybrid Data-Driven Online Solar Energy Disaggregation System from the Grid Supply Point
Authors: Zhang Xiao-Yu , Watkins Chris , Kuenzel Stefanie
Published: September 2021

The integration of small-scale
PV systems (such as roof-top PVs) decreases the visibility of the power system
since the real demand load is masked. Most of the rooftop systems are
behind-the-meter and cannot be measured by the household smart meter. To
overcome the challenges mentioned above, this paper proposes an online solar
energy disaggregation system to decouple the solar energy generated by the
roof-top PV systems and ground truth demand load from the net measurements. A
1D CNN bidirectional long short-term memory (CNN-BiLSTM) deep learning method
is used as the core algorithm of the proposed system. The system takes a wide
range of online information (AMI data, meteorological data, satellite-driven
irradiance, and temporal information) as inputs to evaluate the PV generation,
and the system also enables online and offline modes. The effectiveness of the
proposed algorithm is evaluated by comparing it to baselines. The results show
that the proposed method reaches good performance under different penetration
rates and different feeder levels. Finally, a transfer learning process is
introduced to verify the proposed system has good robustness and can be applied
to anywhere else easily.

Evaluation of Illinois Bridge Deterioration Models
Authors:   Illinois Institute of Technology, Fu Gongkang
Published: September 2021

The National Bridge Inventory bridge inspection system ranks the condition of bridge components on a scale of zero to nine. The resulting condition ratings represent an important element considered in deciding measures for bridge maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation. Thus, forecasting future condition ratings well is critical to reliable planning for these activities and estimating the costs. The Illinois Department of Transportation currently has deterministic models for this purpose. This study’s objective is to review the current models using condition rating histories gathered from 1980 to 2020 in Illinois for the following bridge components: deck, superstructure, substructure, culvert, and deck beam. The results show the current Illinois Department of Transportation models are inadequate in forecasting condition ratings, producing overestimates of the transition times between two condition rating levels for these components / systems, except for the deck beam, which is underestimated. It is recommended that the mean transition times found in this study from condition rating histories are used to replace the current models as a short-term solution. Further research is recommended to develop probabilistic models as a long-term solution to address observed significant variation or uncertainty in condition rating and transition times between condition rating levels.

Published: September 2021

High-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) is more cost-efficient, sustainable, and durable than conventional concrete. This report presents a state-of-the-art review of HVFAC properties and different fly ash characterization methods. The main challenges identified for HVFAC for pavements are its early-age properties such as air entrainment, setting time, and strength gain, which are the focus of this research. Five fly ash sources in Illinois have been repeatedly characterized through x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, and laser diffraction over time. The fly ash oxide compositions from the same source but different quarterly samples were overall consistent with most variations observed in SO3 and MgO content. The minerals present in various fly ash sources were similar over multiple quarters, with the mineral content varying. The types of carbon present in the fly ash were also characterized through x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, loss on ignition, and foam index tests. A new computer vision–based digital foam index test was developed to automatically capture and quantify a video of the foam layer for better operator and laboratory reliability. The heat of hydration and setting times of HVFAC mixes for different cement and fly ash sources as well as chemical admixtures were investigated using an isothermal calorimeter. Class C HVFAC mixes had a higher sulfate imbalance than Class F mixes. The addition of chemical admixtures (both PCE- and lignosulfonate-based) delayed the hydration, with the delay higher for the PCE-based admixture. Both micro- and nano-limestone replacement were successful in accelerating the setting times, with nano-limestone being more effective than micro-limestone. A field test section constructed of HVFAC showed the feasibility and importance of using the noncontact ultrasound device to measure the final setting time as well as determine the saw-cutting time. Moreover, field implementation of the maturity method based on wireless thermal sensors demonstrated its viability for early opening strength, and only a few sensors with pavement depth are needed to estimate the field maturity.

Published: September 2021

Heterocyclic compounds are cyclic compounds containing carbon and other heteroatoms. The most common heteroatoms are oxygen, nitrogen, and Sulphur. A heterocyclic compound is a cyclic compound that has atoms at least two different elements as members of its ring. A Schiff base (azomethine) is named after its inventor, Hugo Schiff and it is a functional group that contains a carbon-nitrogen double bond with the nitrogen atom connected to an aryl or alkyl group but not hydrogen. Schiff bases of Pyridin-3 yl-carbohydrazide derivatives from ethyl nicotinate and different aromatic aldehydes. Schiff’s bases are aromatic substituted imine compounds. These compounds are very important in the medicinal and pharmaceutical fields because of their wide spectrum of biological activity. Schiff’s bases show antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, and also antitumor activity. Aromatic aldehydes were refluxed with ethyl nicotinate using ethanol as a solvent to form Schiff's bases. All chemicals are taken in equimolar concentrations. The synthesized compounds were characterized by melting point, solubility, percentage yield, TLC, and IR spectral analysis. All derivatives are evaluated for anti-bacterial activity by the cup plate method. The antibacterial activity of test compounds was compared against standard Streptomycin. The 5 synthesized compounds show moderate antimicrobial activity. The experimental work summarizes the synthesis and in-vitro antibacterial activity of Schiff base derivatives.

Published: September 2021

Agarwood is a type of resin impregnated wood produced from the wounded Aquilaria trees. This agarwood gives a pleasant fragrant when it is burned. It becomes high-priced and increase demanded in the world due to the depletion of wild agarwood in the forest caused by illegal poaching activities. Agarwood resin can only be produced by injuring caused by lightning or wounded by animals under natural conditions. However, the natural process of resin accumulation is uncertain and time-consuming. Therefore, we developed an agarwood inducement technique that served as the alternative way to induce the agarwood formation in a short time. Three inducement techniques, including the injecting method, knocking method and combination of injecting & knocking method were applied to induce resin formation. In this study, we evaluated the technique for producing agarwood in species Aquilaria beccariana, which is native and only can be found in Borneo Malaysia. For A. beccariana trees treated with the inducement technique, resin formed and spread throughout the cell in the trunk. The evaluation results showed that the agarwood yield per tree reached around 5 to 7 kilogram. Furthermore, this agarwood derived from the induction was found to have a similar quality with the wild agarwood. This indicates the inducement technology had successfully produced agarwood resin in A. beccariana with a grade similar to the wild agarwood.

Published: September 2021

Bukit Keluang is one of the famous natural recreational sites in Besut, Terengganu due to their beautiful sandy beaches and beautiful landscapes. Bukit Keluang recreational forest consist coastal and lowland dipterocarp forest. The studies on the biodiversity are never been reported at this area and thus, we aimed to investigate the diversity and abundance of insects in the coastal and inland forest of Bukit Keluang recreational forest. We built two plots which are Plot A in the coastal area and Plot B in the inland forest at Bukit Keluang. For each plot, three types of insect traps were used; yellow pan traps, pitfall traps, and Malaise traps.  The traps were left for seven days and all insect samples collected were brought to the laboratory for sorting, enumerating and identifying up to order level. A total of 455 individuals of insects consisted of 10 orders (i.e. Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Collembola, Homoptera, Orthoptera, Dermaptera, Blattodea and Isoptera) were successfully collected from the forest of Bukit Keluang. Among them, Hymenoptera order dominated the number of individuals collected at 67.25% followed by Diptera (11.21%) whilst Collembola and Dermaptera were the least abundance order collected at 0.22%, respectively. The coastal forest recorded a total of 271 individuals (nine orders) while inland forest recorded 184 individuals (eight orders). No significant difference (p>0.05) of insect abundance was recorded between both plots. However, the Shannon-Weiner Diversity Index (H’) showed that the diversity of insects in the inland forest was slightly higher (H’=1.52) than the coastal forest (H’=0.86). We conclude that the insects’ diversity in Bukit Keluang is relatively higher in inland forest but lower in coastal forest. As no other insect survey has been conducted in this study area in the past, this study delivers a basic evidence and dataset of diversity and abundance for insect which may beneficial for further conservation research at Bukit Keluang in the future.

Published: September 2021

Researchers are paying attention to leadership management in the field of education after the Ministry of Education placed high leadership in schools as a shift to improve the standard of Malaysia's education system in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025. Leadership is mentioned as a necessity for reforming educational institutions. It has the potential to influence teachers’ performance and academic success of students. Transactional, transformational, and instructional leadership models were found out to be the most prominent types of leadership in Malaysian educational institutions. However, only few studies on leadership models and teachers’ performance have been conducted, especially in the field of special education. Therefore, this study was developed with the aim of proposing a conceptual framework involving the instructional leadership model and teacher success in order to fill a void in the current literature, based on previous scholars' recommendations. The paper started by giving an overview of the three types of models that are widely used before forming the conceptual structure and seeking past studies concerning leadership models and teacher-related factors. Finally, the constructs of teachers' self-efficacy and job satisfaction were applied to the proposed framework, which is intended to introduce new perspectives into the field of special education leadership.

Just a little part of SMEs are fruitful in accomplishing remarkable execution and maintainable development, The writing shows that there is as yet a hole for powerful approaches to expand the size of that division. This paper expects to contribute in filling the hole by distinguishing factors influencing SME execution and, subsequently, their turn of events; and to build up a reasonable system clarifying their connections. The writing uncovers that despite the fact that there is positive connection between government support, training, digital marketing, financial capital and SMEs performance, the relationship is as yet uncertain; proposing that there are mediating develops between the five builds. Field perceptions and writing surveys propose a second-request develops serving directing parts between government support, training, digital marketing, financial capital and SMEs performance that may explain the relationship, i.e., risk control. Albeit the connections among the six builds have been broadly concentrated in the surviving writing, this paper is one of only a handful few endeavors, assuming any, in researching the six develops in an extensive structure as a reason for additional examinations. On the off chance that exactly upheld, the proposed system may give a powerful option in helping business people and SMEs players to build up their venture all the more viably.

Published: September 2021

Colleges of education can achieve their stated goals with careful and well-defined organisational culture, climate and employees’ evaluation system. The study examined the correlation between organisational factors and job performance of non-teaching staff of colleges of education. Relationship between each of the organisational factors (climate, culture and performance appraisal) and performance of non-teaching staff were examined. Non-experimental design of correlation type was adopted. Stratified and convenience sampling techniques were employed to select 234 non-teaching staff of colleges of education. Adapted Organisational Factors Questionnaire (OFQ) and Job Performance Questionnaire (JPQ) with 0.891 and 0.801 were used for data collection. The result showed that organisational factors are positively and significantly correlate to job performance (r- value = 0.873, p=0.000). The implication of this is that organisational culture, climate and performance evaluation have a positive correlation with non-teaching staff’s job performance. The study therefore recommended that colleges’ administrators should consider improving organisational factors in order to increase staff’s performance for global competiveness. Moreover, administrators are to create a sustainable working climate that will promote productivity of non-teaching staff via effective communication and participatory approach.

Who represented the Council of Lithuania in Sweden?
Authors:   Vilnius University Šiauliai Academy, Grigaravičiūtė Sandra
Published: September 2021

The research reveals who and when was authorized to represent the Council of Lithuania in Swe-den, and how the German Government and the military leadership reacted to the documents published by the Lithuanians on the 3rd and the 6th January, 1918 in Stockholm, which were published in the Swedish and Danish press. After the research, we can state that until May 27th, 1918, the Council of Lithuania was unrepresented in Sweden. However, the nation of Lithuania was represented. This function was carried out by the representatives of the Lithuanian Society who have received Charges d`Affaires certificates. They were under the supervision of the Russian Imperial diplomatic service. Neither Jurgis Savickis, nor Ignas Šeinius, nor Jonas Aukštuolis had the authorization from the Council of Lithuania to represent the Council of Lithuania in Sweden. They were correspondents of the Lithuanian Information Bureau (LIB), meaning that they supplied information to the bureau under the leadership of J. Gabrys. After May 27, 1918, the representation of the Council of Lithuania could have been (however it does not mean that it actually was) a component of the representation of the Council of Lithuania in Germany. The reaction of the German government and the German military authorities to the demands set by the Lithuanian Conference in January 3, 1918, in Swedish and Danish press, was very unfavourable, and they have sought for ways to convince the Lithuanians in Stockholm of the „correct way of thinking”. Immediately they have sent J. Šaulys there from Berlin. Until the 6th of January, 1918 – the declaration of independence from Russia as announced in the Swedish press, the German government and the German military authorities were not seen to have a reaction. The research on the representation of the Council of Lithuania in Sweden was carried out on the basis of published (press, published documents) and unpublished sources (from the Lithuanian Central State Archives, the fund of the Political Archive of the German Foreign Office (RZ 201), and the Manu-scripts Department of the Vilnius University Library (F. 155–366)). The research resorted to the methods of qualitative analysis and synthesis (the new material of the sources was supplemented with the infor-mation circulating in historiography), the comparative method (the facts found in Lithuanian and German archives and the press are compared), and the descriptive method. To process the primary sources in Lith-uanian and German languages, the logical–analytical method was applied (the notional content and infor-mation analysis was conducted).

The aim of this article is to analyse the activity of agents of civil society – the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Russia, which create and disseminate the interpretations of historic milestones of the 20th century. The article demonstrates how factors, which have classically been regarded as characte-ristics for the civil society that is independent from direct interference of the state, become the tools directly controlled by the state. Thus, democratic and rational discussion on milestones of history is dis-torted. Several NGOs disseminate narratives elaborated and supported one-sidedly by the state while pre-sented as independent from it and thus – reliable and sound. The arguments put forward by these agents to justify their claims marginalize alternative views due to their imperative nature.

The aim of this article is to provide an insight into the theoretical principles of the district history, and to actualize the significance and problems of regional history research. Local district historians are the inhabitants and patriots of the area. Their work is an important contribution to the identification and pre-servation of local cultural heritage. In the local research there are no uniform standards, so the results are diverse. However, in the district history research, the level and quality of the research may vary as local researchers are mostly amateur researchers who have focused on researching the history of the region in their spare time for their own interest. Consequently, errors and shortcomings are possible in the research process. This study analyzes the history books of the neighboring regions – Grobiņa, Nīca and Rucava. The authors are local researchers and the content of the books has a large amount of historical sources and literature. The advantages and disadvantages of such studies are also indicated in this article.

Authors:   LLU ESAF SOHU, Vuguls Juris
Published: September 2021

Employing the methodological arsenal of philosophy – questioning, wondering, refuting, doubting as well as discourse analysis methods, the aim of this article is to reflect on possibilities to redefine values in a new communication situation, which can be described as a situation with a large number of communi-cation channels and diverse communication opportunities, making the „consumer” to determine the agen-da of his/her media. In this new communication situation, the necessity for a more critical, independent, conscious and reflexive manner of thinking is growing, which requires the truth-seeker to transcend his/her limitations of everyday thinking and apply the ancient and modern scientific definitions about the essence of human nature and values. This particular study employs M. Buber’s concept of I – Thou rela-tionships. Thus, in the humanitarian sciences, to define values means redefining values or defining them independently, which means that one 1) must define a particular value as a concept, logically (naming it) (ex. „forgiveness”, „I forgive You”) and in the same time 2) must implement it with a real action (act of forgiveness).

Progress and innovation of nanostructured sulfur cathodes and metal-free anodes for room-temperature Na–S batteries
Authors: Tabuyo-Martínez Marina , Wicklein Bernd , Aranda Pilar
Published: September 2021

Rechargeable batteries are a major element in the transition to renewable energie systems, but the current lithium-ion battery technology may face limitations in the future concerning the availability of raw materials and socio-economic insecurities. Sodium–sulfur (Na–S) batteries are a promising alternative energy storage device for small- to large-scale applications driven by more favorable environmental and economic perspectives. However, scientific and technological problems are still hindering a commercial breakthrough of these batteries. This review discusses strategies to remedy some of the current drawbacks such as the polysulfide shuttle effect, catastrophic volume expansion, Na dendrite growth, and slow reaction kinetics by nanostructuring both the sulfur cathode and the Na anode. Moreover, a survey of recent patents on room temperature (RT) Na–S batteries revealed that nanostructured sulfur and sodium electrodes are still in the minority, which suggests that much investigation and innovation is needed until RT Na–S batteries can be commercialized.

Published: September 2021

Dongshan Bay is located on the west side of the Taiwan Strait, which had abundant fishery resources in the past. With the increase in fishing pressure, resources have declined. To restore the fishery resources in Dongshan Bay and to increase fishing yield, much enhancement and release work has been carried out in Dongshan Bay. The yellowfin seabream, Acanthopagrus latus (Houttuyn, 1782), is an important enhancement species in Dongshan Bay that is also frequently captured. Due to yearly progress in enhancement and release, it is necessary to study the current status of the genetic diversity of yellowfin seabream in Dongshan Bay. The results show that all yellowfin seabream populations have high genetic diversity, which is mainly related to its breeding habits and growth rate, and this ensures a large recruitment stock in the natural seas. The current population has differentiated from the historical population due to a change in genetic structure, and many historical haplotypes have been lost. The results of this study provide a reference for fishery management departments to formulate management measures and conservation policies specifically for yellowfin seabream. In particular, yellowfin seabream is a hermaphroditic and protandrous species. Targeting an older age group as the main fishing subject is not conducive to its breeding protection and resource growth, and therefore, fishing of an older age group should be restricted in fishery production.

Purpose: Air transport is a highly regulated branch of aviation, but it continues to show occurrences where human error is present. Fatigue is now recognized as a hazard which degrades human performance and can put flight safety at risk. In this regard, the general objective of this study is to assess the impact of cognitive fatigue on airline pilots and how it can contribute to the occurrence of accidents and incidents.Methodology: Three airline pilots participated in the case study. The participants’ cognitive fatigue was monitored according to four methods, being two of them of a subjective nature – the sleep diary (SD) and the Samn-Perelli 7-Point Fatigue Scale (SPS), and the other two of an objective nature – the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) and the actigraphy (actiwatch ReadibandTM 5). During their flight duty periods (FDPs), the pilots’ performance was also assessed according to the score delivered by a fatigue management software (FAID®).Findings: The obtained results allowed to understand whether the pilots are aware of their alertness and to identify factors which affect their performance levels. Between the beginning and the end of each FDP, significant changes were observed concerning the assessment on the SPS scale, the reaction time (RT) and the fatigue score generated by the biomathematical models associated to the technique of the actigraphy and the software FAID®.Originality/value: The risk of accident or serious error was classified according to the four methodologies used. Thus, it is possible to verify if there is a correspondence between the different scales or if there are scales more conservative (with a higher associated risk) than others.
Algunas ideas en torno a la enseñanza de la epistemología desde la historia de las ciencias y la literatura
Authors: Camejo Marina
Published: September 2021

El presente trabajo surge como respuesta a reflexiones suscitadas por los desafíos y las dificultades impuestas por la enseñanza de la epistemología en una carrera humanística. Enfrentarnos al curso de epistemología nos ha obligado a pensar cómo trasmitir contenidos, cómo problematizar aspectos relativos a la disciplina en la que se forman los estudiantes y cómo formarlos en habilidades propias de la filosofía. Esto nos ha conducido a internarnos en los caminos de la didáctica de la epistemología. El interés por la didáctica de la epistemología se ha incrementado, tal vez con un ritmo menor con el que se ha incrementado el interés por la enseñanza de las ciencias. Los avances científico-tecnológicos y las implicaciones que estos tienen a nivel social requieren por un lado de seres humanos conocedores de la ciencia y por otro de seres humanos que adopten posturas críticas frente al conocimiento científico en relación a su alcance, posibilidades y limitaciones en el entramado social. Esto último es concerniente a la epistemología. No obstante, su enseñanza en sí misma es una dificultad que puede ser superada si se ampara en la historia de las ciencias y en la literatura. Nuestra perspectiva consiste en afirmar que la epistemología no puede presentarse como una disciplina que no dialoga con otros saberes, por el contrario consideramos que más allá de la tensión que puede presentar entre epistemología e historia de las ciencias y epistemología y humanidades (más específicamente literatura), estas disciplinas echan luz a la hora de planificar unidades didácticas.
Filosofía de la ciencia: cómo impacta una enseñanza adecuada de la disciplina en el ámbito de la carrera de psicología
Authors: Rodera María Lucía , Azar Roberto Miguel
Published: September 2021

La Filosofía de la Ciencia como disciplina autónoma surge aproximadamente en 1922 gracias al impulso proporcionado por las ideas forjadas en el Círculo de Viena. El objetivo principal era definir con precisión el concepto de ‘ciencia’ con el fin de poder decidir unívocamente qué manifestaciones del pensamiento humano debían ser consideradas científicas y cuáles otras debían excluirse al plano de la pseudociencia. En lo que respecta a la Psicología, el conductismo norteamericano coincidió con las posturas básicas del Círculo de Viena otorgándole un valor central a los experimentos y a las observaciones controladas. En relación con el Psicoanálisis, el filósofo argentino Mario Bunge no dudó en sugerir que “[…] es la más interesante y exitosa de las pseudociencias [...]” (Bunge & Ardila, 2002, p. 122), presuponiendo una noción de ‘ciencia’ tradicional y bastante arraigada en el imaginario social de la cultura occidental. Tanto es así que en las propias facultades de Psicología latinoamericanas circulan permanentemente ciertas ‘representaciones sociales’ probablemente inspiradas por la deficiente enseñanza tradicional de la filosofía de la ciencia en los niveles secundario y también superior. En este trabajo intentaremos sentar las bases para elaborar un proyecto filosófico-pedagógico con el fin de conseguir una propuesta superadora para la enseñanza de la Filosofía de la Ciencia en la carrera de Psicología.
Enseñar un problema en Filosofía de las Ciencias: la subdeterminación empírica
Authors: Madroñal Ignacio Federico
Published: September 2021

La enseñanza de la Filosofía de las Ciencias es un ámbito de interés por derecho propio, y que cuenta con desafíos relacionados con la diversidad de nuestrxs estudiantes, con la formación y enfoques que adoptamos como docentes, y con el hecho de que la educación científica y filosófica no siempre coincide en sus propósitos y métodos. Además, implica cuestionarnos acerca de problemas más amplios, como la definición de la disciplina misma y qué tipo de vínculo existe entre filosofía y ciencia. En este trabajo, me propongo analizar algunas de estas dificultades, y ofrecer algunos criterios para paliarlas a partir de la consideración de un problema específico de la Filosofía de las Ciencias: la subdeterminación de la teoría por la evidencia. Argumentaré que, a partir del estudio de este caso, es posible brindar algunas orientaciones para una enseñanza de la Filosofía de las Ciencias que (a) contribuya a satisfacer los intereses y necesidades de sus destinatarios, (b) sea viable acorde a la formación con la que cuentan lxs profesores de las asignaturas afines a ella, tengan una sólida formación filosófica de base o no, y (c) posibilite un abordaje que de sus contenidos que no sea primordialmente histórico, sino crítico-problemático.
Mining research in Canada's Arctic - an overview
Authors: Udd J E
Published: September 2021

Most mining in Canada takes place in what can be described as either sub-arctic, arctic, or high arctic conditions. Canada is a northern country, with a substantial part of its land mass in the high arctic.
Mining under arctic conditions places great demands on engineering and technology. The extraction of ore from deposits which are permanently frozen necessitates modifications to almost every aspect of mining practice.
At present, the Mining Research Laboratories of CANMET (the Canada Centre for Minerals and Energy Technology) are working as partners-in-research with mine operators at three locations in Canada's high arctic: Lupin, Nanisivik, and Polaris.
In this paper, the author provides an overview of the research and of the anticipated benefits to Canada's mining industry.
Monitoring of interaction effects over a longwall panel in the Sydney Coalfield, Canada

Published: September 2021

The Phalen Colliery in the Sydney Coalfield is extracting the 2.6 m thick Phalen Seam by the panel and pillar longwall retreat method. Abandoned workings occur in the Harbour Seam 140 m above and overlie the Phalen Colliery. Parts of these workings are flooded,
and pose a number of questions relating to the safety of operations in the Phalen Colliery. In order to answer some of these questions, the Cape Breton Development Corporation re-entered an abandoned non-flooded roadway in the Harbour Seam directly above a retreat panel in the Phalen Seam to allow
the deployment of instrumentation to monitor interaction effects.
Fifteen monitoring sites, each 4.5 m apart, were installed in the 5 East Top Level after it had been re-entered and made safe. Each monitoring station included a vibrating wire strain gauge piezometer and a potentiometric extensometer. The piezometers were attached to rock bolts anchored into the
floor and were connected by a flexible standpipe to a constant head apparatus. Variations in hydraulic head due to subsidence were monitored to determine subsidence. The extensometer units were mounted on rock bolts anchored into the floor of the roadway beneath the ribside and monitored ground
strains. The instrumentation was capable of remote reading in the event that access to the site was restricted after installation.
This paper describes the instrumentation, the installation programme, and some preliminary results.

Abstract

In vitro maturation (IVM) has been used in clinical settings for 30 years. The merits of IVM include that it needs a relatively small amount of hormones and short treatment period. However, because the effectiveness of IVM is lower than that of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, there are few centers routinely use IVM, and it is only applicable to a few special populations. In this article, several oocyte sources related to IVM have been discussed and the effects of gonadotropin priming and triggering on IVM are described. Furthermore, we have reviewed the optimization of IVM culture conditions in recent years along with the effects of IVM on genes of oocytes and cumulus cells and the obstetric and neonatal outcomes. We aim to provide indications for future improvement of IVM technology so that the success rates of IVM technology in special populations can be improved. We hope that this mild and natural protocol can be applied to more populations, including individuals with normal ovulation.
