Design, simulation and test of a double differential D-dot overvoltage sensor
Authors: Tao Yaqin , Wang Jingang , Xu Zhi
Published: October 2018

A double differential D-dot overvoltage sensor is proposed based on the D-dot principle for the purpose of faster and more accurate measurement of overvoltage signals. The proposed sensor is a new D-dot sensor structure consisting of four electrodes. It is applied together with the double differential input structure. This structure allows the sensor to operate in self-integration mode and achieve a wide frequency response characteristic while has a stronger anti-interference capability. The simulation demonstration and parameter design are carried out by using the Ansoft Maxwell. A test platform is constructed and used in the steady-state performance and lightning impulse transient-state test of the sensor. Test results demonstrate that the double differential D-dot sensor has satisfying steady-state performances, manifested by small measurement phase and amplitude errors. It can be applied to internal overvoltage measurement of power system. Moreover, the double differential D-dot sensor is equipped with good transient characteristics. The relative error of the lightning wave rise time which is measured by the double differential D-dot sensor is controlled in the range of ±1.7% and the relative measurement error of lightning wave peak is smaller than ±2.0%. It can measure external overvoltages effectively.
Homozygous Nonsense Mutation p.Q274X in TRIM63 (MuRF1) in a Patient with Mild Skeletal Myopathy and Cardiac Hypertrophy

Published: October 2018

TRIM63 mutations have been described as a potential cause for cardiac and skeletal myopathy in only one family so far. We describe a new patient carrying the same homozygous TRIM63 nonsense mutation c.739 C>T p.Q247X, that was originally reported in two members of a Spanish family manifesting cardiac hypertrophy. One of these original patients also had an additional heterozygous mutation in TRIM54 and a much more severe phenotype also involving skeletal muscles, and a digenic inheritance was therefore suggested. Our case report confirms the role of TRIM63 as a new cardiac myopathy gene, although it is unclear whether the homozygous p.Q247X mutation alone is sufficient to cause an additional skeletal myopathy.
A development model to guide the recruiting of female shot putters at the NCAA Division I Championship level
Authors: Babbitt Donald G.
Published: October 2018

Given the high stakes nature of NCAA athletics, it has become increasingly important for coaches to recruit athletes who can compete and make substantive contributions to a team’s success. The purpose of this study was to develop an analytic to predict the time it would take a high school female shot putter to contribute a score at the NCAA Championship meet based on her personal best high school performance. Performance data from high school and college performances were collected from NCAA women’s shot putters, who completed their eligibility from 2012–2017 (N = 63), and graphed to construct a trend line which plotted the top shot put performance of each individual from high school (y) against their best result from each of four or five years in collegiate competition (x). Strong correlations were found between high school and collegiate performance for the first three years of collegiate competition with statistical significance achieved at p < 0.0001. The correlation progressively decreased with each year of collegiate competition with years four and five of collegiate eligibility demonstrating a diminished statistical significance at p < 0.05. Minimum high school performances were calculated in order to produce a statistically significant result that could score for each place at the NCAA meet for a given amount of years competing in NCAA Division I track and field. The results provide track and field coaches with the first analytical model that can assist in determining a high school recruit’s ability to contribute valuable points at the most important competitions.

Authors: Li Xiaobo , Jiang Liuqing , Chen Lifang , lei Yu , Xu Benhua , Liu Biying , Li Sicong
Published: October 2018

BACKGROUND:

During the MRI examination, pediatric patients sleep under the sedation so that the image artifacts caused by the patient motion could be minimized. However, the sedative injection at the buttocks might cause a difficulty in the diagnosis of the buttock diseases using the MRI manifestations.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to explore the imaging characteristics of MR for the pediatric patients with the sedative injected at the buttocks in order to correctly diagnose the diseases.

METHODS:

MR imaging data of 64 pediatric patients injected with the sedative at the buttocks were retrospectively collected, including 8 cases of buttock disease. The imaging manifestations were analyzed and compared.

RESULTS:

Out of 64 patients, 8 were diagnosed as the buttock diseases. MR imaging manifestations of the sedatives injected at the buttocks were the locally patchy and streaky long T1 and long T2 signals and were different from what were shown for the normal tissues and diseases.

CONCLUSION:

The sedative injected at the buttocks has the MRI manifestations different from the normal tissues and diseases. Correctly understanding the MRI manifestations for the pediatric patients with the injection of sedative at the buttocks would reduce the chances of the misdiagnosis on the diseases.

Published: October 2018

The realization of high quality medical measures for protecting children’s health remains an important issue at the stage of reforming the domestic medicine. The aim of this work was to study and analyze the system of medical aid for children in Ukraine. The research focused on normative-legal acts regulating the organization of medical aid for children. The research methods are informative, retrospective, historical, logical and analytical.

The analysis of normative-legal documents regulating the organization of rendering of medical aid for children established their formality and economic groundlessness.

According to January 2017, only 35 documents were included into the Registry of medical technological documents in the direction of «Pediatrics». It means that many children’s pathological states are not covered by standardization, what reduces the quality of medical aid.

The national programs for the improvement of health status of children remained unrealized due to the lack of funding, ill-coordinated links between program implementers, the lack of effective monitoring of the quality and results of realizing the state programs. The implementation result of IMChI strategy was the reduction of mortality rate in children of different age groups in the pilot regions. In terms of reforming the combined model (model III) is the most effective and acceptable for pediatric care rendering.

The population expenses reach nearly half of the total funding of the sector, what demonstrates the inconsistencies between the real state of children’s assurance in the health care system of Ukraine and national normative acts.

It was determined the necessity of structural reorganization of the system, the optimization of beds number, the increase of medical care funding from state and local budgets, the raising of resource efficiency of health care system and the continued development and implementation of modern protocols (standards) for the treatment of children pathologies.

Hypertermi is a condition when an individual experiences or risks experiencing a continuous increase in body temperature of more than 37.8 � C (100 � F) orally or 38.9 � C (101 � F) per rectal due to external factors. Hypertermi is the onset of symptoms in a disease, which begins with an increase in body temperature in the patient, and the usual initial action is to do a warm compress because warm compresses can lower the body temperature of patients with hyperthermia. Knowledge is the result of knowing that happens after someone observes a particular object, while attitude is a feeling of support or partiality or a feeling of not supporting or not favoring the object. Nurses who provide nursing care should have knowledge, and a good attitude in lowering body temperature. The impact of a lack of knowledge, and the attitude of nurses will result in an optimal decrease in heat in patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards the action of warm compresses in hypetermic patients in the Aster Childhood Disease Room at TK.II Hospital Dr.AK.

Adult Māori Patients’ Healthcare Experiences of the Emergency Department in a District Health Facility in New Zealand
Authors: Abraham Sneha Grace , Tauranga Marama , Moore Deborah
Published: October 2018

Globally, there are significant inequalities and disparities in health service delivery to Indigenous populations, including Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand. This study explored the experiences of adult Māori patients in the emergency department (ED) of a district health facility in New Zealand. Qualitative research exploring the ED experiences of Māori patients is limited. Two semistructured interviews with 4 Māori participants were conducted, audio-recorded, transcribed, and thematically analysed with the help of the Māori health department within the hospital. The participants identified 3 main areas of improvements relating to (a) the ED environment, (b) the interactions with healthcare professionals (HCPs), and (c) the unique factors faced by the kaumātua (Māori elders). The main conclusions were that aspects of the ED environment, including the room layout and lack of privacy, could negatively influence Maori ED experiences. In addition, HCPs not adequately integrating the Māori view of health in their clinical practice also had a negative influence. The kaumātua faced unique challenges, including the language barrier and lack of sufficient information from HCPs during their patient journey. Educating HCPs and making the ED environment more sensitive to Māori could improve their experience.

Simulation Model to Calculate Bird-Aircraft Collisions and Near Misses in the Airport Vicinity
Authors: Metz Isabel C. , Mühlhausen Thorsten , Ellerbroek Joost , Kügler Dirk , Van Gasteren Hans , Kraemer Jan , Hoekstra Jacco M.
Published: October 2018

Annually, thousands of birds collide with aircraft. The impact usually has lethal consequences for the bird, the involved aircraft can experience severe damage. The highest bird strike risk occurs at low altitudes. Therefore, aircraft within the airport area as well as the adjacent approach and departure corridors are especially vulnerable to collisions with birds. To analyse risk-reducing measures in these areas, a fast-time bird strike simulation environment was developed. An open-source Air Traffic Management simulator was enhanced with a model to represent bird movements and to recognize bird strikes. To confirm the reproducibility of the outcome, Monte Carlo simulations were performed. They included bird movement data from one year and air traffic flight plans for various air traffic volumes. The number of strikes and near misses showed an expected variance within the individual replications. The results indicate that the predictability of the number of strikes and near misses increases with rising number of birds, and rising air traffic intensity. Thus, by considering simulation scenarios including bird movement information from all seasons and a sufficient air traffic volume, the described set-up leads to stable results.
Evaluation of FAO AquaCrop Model for Simulating Rainfed Maize Growth and Yields in Uganda
Authors: Mibulo Tadeo , Kiggundu Nicholas
Published: October 2018

Uganda’s agriculture is mainly rainfed. While farmers make efforts to increase food output to respond to the demands of a fast growing population, they are vulnerable to losses attributed to fluctuating weather patterns due to the global climate change. Therefore, it is necessary to explore ways of improving production in rainfed agricultural systems to save farmers labour and input costs in situations where the grain harvest would be zero due to crop failure. In this study, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) AquaCrop model was evaluated for its predictability potential of maize growth and yields. The study was conducted at Makerere University Agricultural Research Institute Kabanyolo (MUARIK) in Uganda for three seasons. Maize growth and yield data was collected during the following seasons: Season 1, September to December 2014; Season 2, March to July 2015; and Season 3, September to December 2015. The model was calibrated using season 1 canopy cover data. The relative errors of simulated canopy cover ranged from −0.3% to −13.58% for different stages of the crop growth. The deviation of the simulated final biomass from measured data for the three seasons ranged from −15.4% to 11.6%, while the deviation of the final yield ranged from −2.8 to 2.0. These results suggest that FAO AquaCrop can be used in the prediction of rainfed agricultural outputs, and hence, has greater potential to guide management practices towards increasing food production.
Linking the Effect of Aggregate Interaction to the Compaction Theory for Asphalt Mixtures Using Image Processing
Authors: Kim Kyoungchul , Kang Myungook
Published: October 2018

This study presents a modified compaction concept of asphalt mixtures based on aggregate frictional behavior using self-developed image processing for measuring the aggregate orientation. The compaction energy index was introduced to evaluate the aggregate orientation on different compaction temperatures. For the better rearrangement of aggregates, there was an optimum temperature at which a preferred orientation exists, providing lower compaction efforts. An excessively high temperature reduced the asphalt contents for lubrication and caused additional aggregate friction to require higher compaction efforts. This phenomenon can be found in the changes of the volume of the effective asphalt binder (Veac) and the absorbed asphalt binder (Pba). The mixture produced higher Veac, at which an optimum compaction temperature required lower compaction energy. Despite being higher than the optimum temperature for the PG62-28 mixture, the Veac decreased by 0.4%. An increase of 0.35% in the Pba was inferred to flow into the aggregates. Clearly, a reduction of lubricant in the mixture caused a higher frictional interaction between aggregates. Changes in the Veac and the Pba can eliminate the viscosity effect for the rearrangement of aggregates. Based on the aggregate orientation and change in mixture volumetrics, the aggregate interaction effect was introduced to the Mohr–Coulomb compaction theory to explain the additional friction.
Preparation Technique and Properties of Nano-TiO2 Photocatalytic Coatings for Asphalt Pavement
Authors: Wang Hui , Jin Ke , Dong Xinyu , Zhan Shihao , Liu Chenghu
Published: October 2018

According to the characteristics of asphalt pavement, a kind of nano-TiO2 photocatalytic coating was prepared by using the emulsified asphalt as the carrier. All of its properties met the technical requirements. An exhaust gas degradation test device and its test steps were developed. The evaluation indexes, cumulative degradation rate, and degradation efficiency, were put forward. From the two aspects of the nano-TiO2 content in photocatalytic coatings and the spraying amount of photocatalytic coatings in the surface of slabs (300 mm × 300 mm), the exhaust gas degradation effects, the performances of skid resistance, and the water permeability of asphalt mixture were analyzed. The test results showed that the cumulative degradation rate of exhaust gas was better when nano-TiO2 content was increased in the range of 0–8% and the spraying amount was changed in the range of 0–333.3 g/m2. In practical engineering applications, the anti-skid performance of asphalt pavement can be satisfied when the spraying amount of photocatalytic coating was limited to under 550 g/m2. The spraying amount of nano-TiO2 photocatalytic coating had little effect on the water permeability of the asphalt mixture. Therefore, 8% nano-TiO2 content in the coating and a 400 g/m2 spraying amount were finally recommended based on the photocatalytic properties, as well as for economic reasons.

Designing wind farms in complex terrain is an important task, especially for countries with a large portion of complex terrain territory. To tackle this task, an optimization framework is developed in this study, which combines the solution from a wind resource assessment tool, an engineering wake model adapted for complex terrain, and an advanced wind farm layout optimization algorithm. Various realistic constraints are modelled and considered, such as the inclusive and exclusive boundaries, minimal distances between turbines, and specific requirements on wind resource and terrain conditions. The default objective function in this framework is the total net annual energy production (AEP) of the wind farm, and the Random Search algorithm is employed to solve the optimization problem. A new algorithm called Heuristic Fill is also developed in this study to find good initial layouts for optimizing wind farms in complex terrain. The ability of the framework is demonstrated in a case study based on a real wind farm with 25 turbines in complex terrain. Results show that the framework can find a better design, with 2.70% higher net AEP than the original design, while keeping the occupied area and minimal distance between turbines at the same level. Comparison with two popular algorithms (Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm) also shows the superiority of the Random Search algorithm.

Emission and heat rejection from automobiles are largely responsible for urban environmental issues. Adsorption systems driven by engine waste heat exhibit huge potential to meet the demand for cabin thermal comfort while improving fuel economy. However, the mechanical vapour compression (MVC) systems are still the undisputed champions in automobile air conditioning. This paper provides a critical review on the development and progress of adsorption heat pumps specifically for automobile air conditioning. In doing so, some of the progress and development in land-based adsorption chillers (heat pump), which are not realistically relevant to automobile adsorption systems, are explicitly excluded. Matching the energy density, durability, and reliability of the MVC systems remain major hurdles. The importance of improving the energy density based on the overall system weight or volume, real-world tests under various driving modes and durability aspects are discussed.
The Quest for Low Loss High Refractive Index Dielectric Materials for UV Photonic Applications

Nanostructured High Refractive Index (HRI) dielectric materials, when acting as nanoantennas or metasurfaces in the near-infrared (NIR) and visible (VIS) spectral ranges, can interact with light and show interesting scattering directionality properties. Also, HRI dielectric materials with low absorption in these spectral ranges show very low heat radiation when illuminated. Up to now, most of the studies of these kind of materials have been explored in the VIS-NIR. However, to the best of our knowledge, these properties have not been extended to the ultraviolet (UV), where their application in fields like photocatalysis, biosensing, surface-enhanced spectroscopies or light guiding and trapping can be of extraordinary relevance. Here, we present a detailed numerical study of the directional scattering properties, near-field enhancement and heat generation of several materials that can be good candidates for those applications in the UV. These materials include aluminum phosphide, aluminum arsenide, aluminum nitride, diamond, cerium dioxide and titanium dioxide. In this study, we compare their performance when forming either isolated nanoparticles or dimers to build either nanoantennas or unit cells for more complex metasurfaces.
Novel Common-Mode Current Suppression Method in Transformerless PV Grid-Connected System

The existence of high-frequency components in common-mode (CM) current would reduce the stability of a non-isolated PV grid-connected system. It has great impacts on the output power quality when the generated power from PV is low. The method of single CM inner loop in suppressing the high-frequency components has poor effect. Based on the CM equivalent circuit model and the cause analysis of the CM current, a novel dual CM inner loops method is proposed to restrain the high-frequency components in CM current. This method not only meets the grid connection demand of CM current, but also overcomes the high frequency resonant problem. Furthermore, the high-frequency components in CM current from the outer parasitic circuit are substantially reduced. Finally, the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.
Statistics on Nonmigrating Diurnal Tides Generated by Tide-Planetary Wave Interaction and Their Relationship to Sudden Stratospheric Warming
Authors: Niu Xiaojuan , Du Jian , Zhu Xuwen
Published: October 2018

The nonmigrating diurnal tide, DW2, is known to have a source from the stationary planetary wave with wavenumber 1 (SPW1) and the migrating diurnal tide (DW1) interaction. Recent research has shown that DW2 time evolution in the equatorial mesopause tracks very well with SPW1 in the polar stratosphere for the winter of 2009–2010, which contains a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) vortex split event. This paper extends previous research and investigates the relationship between these two waves for 31 winters from 1979 to 2010 with the extended Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model (eCMAM) through correlation and composite analysis. Significant correlations are present between the two waves in 20 out of 31 winters (65%). We separate the 31 winters into four categories: SSW-displacement, SSW-split, minor-SSW, and no-SSW. Our results show that there is no significant difference among the four categories in terms of correlations between the two waves. Although SPW1 is usually stronger during a SSW-D winter, this does not warrant a stronger interaction with DW2.

Discrepancies exist between theoretical and experimental opacity data for iron, at temperatures 180–195 eV and electron densities near 3 × 1022/cm3, relevant to the solar radiative-convective boundary. Another discrepancy, between theory and helioseismic measurements of the boundary’s location, would be ameliorated if the experimental opacity is correct. To address these issues, this paper details the first results from new experiments under development at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), using a different method to replicate the prior experimental conditions. In the NIF experiments, 64 laser beams indirectly heat a plastic-tamped rectangular iron-magnesium sample inside a gold cavity. Another 64 beams implode a spherical plastic shell to produce a continuum X-ray flash which backlights the hot sample. An X-ray spectrometer records the transmitted X-rays, the unattenuated X-rays passing around the sample, and the sample’s self-emission. From these data, X-ray transmission spectra are inferred, showing Mg K-shell and Fe L-shell X-ray transitions from plasma at a temperature of ~150 eV and electron density of ~8 × 1021/cm3. These conditions are similar to prior Z measurements which agree better with theory. The NIF transmission data show statistical uncertainties of 2–10%, but various systematic uncertainties must be addressed before pursuing quantitative comparisons. The paths to reduction of the largest uncertainties are discussed. Once the uncertainty is reduced, future NIF experiments will probe higher temperatures (170–200 eV) to address the ongoing disagreement between theory and Z data.

Factors Related to Physician Burnout and Its Consequences: A Review

Published: October 2018

Physician burnout is a universal dilemma that is seen in healthcare professionals, particularly physicians, and is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a feeling of low personal accomplishment. In this review, we discuss the contributing factors leading to physician burnout and its consequences for the physician’s health, patient outcomes, and the healthcare system. Physicians face daily challenges in providing care to their patients, and burnout may be from increased stress levels in overworked physicians. Additionally, the healthcare system mandates physicians to keep a meticulous record of their physician-patient encounters along with clerical responsibilities. Physicians are not well-trained in managing clerical duties, and this might shift their focus from solely caring for their patients. This can be addressed by the systematic application of evidence-based interventions, including but not limited to group interventions, mindfulness training, assertiveness training, facilitated discussion groups, and promoting a healthy work environment.
