Published: January 2021

ABSTRACT:  The smooth variable structure filter (SVSF) has been considered as the robust estimator. Like other filters, the SVSF needs an accurate system model and known noise statistics to approximate the posterior state. Unfortunately, the system cannot be accurately modeled, and the noise statistic is unknown in the real application. For these reasons, the performance of SVSF might be decreased or even led to divergence. Therefore, the enhancement of SVSF is required. This paper presents an Adaptive SVSF. Initially, SVSF is smoothed. To provide the ability to estimate the noise statistic, ASVSF is then derived based on maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and expectation-maximization (EM). Additionally, the unbiased noise statistic is also approached. However, its covariance is complicatedly formulated. It might cause a negative definite symmetric matrix. Therefore, it is tuned based on the innovation covariance estimator (ICE). The ASVSF is designed to solve the online problem of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). Henceforth, it is termed as the ASVSF-SLAM algorithm. The proposed algorithm showed better accuracy and stability compared to the conventional algorithm in terms of root mean square error (RMSE) for both Estimated Path Coordinate (EPC) and Estimated Map Coordinate (EMC).
ABSTRAK: Penapis struktur bolehubah lembut (SVSF) telah dianggap sebagai penganggar teguh. Seperti penapis lain, SVSF memerlukan model sistem yang tepat dan statistik hingar yang diketahui bagi menganggar keadaan posterior. Malangnya, sistem tidak dapat dimodelkan dengan tepat dan statistik hingar tidak diketahui dalam aplikasi sebenar. Atas sebab-sebab ini, prestasi SVSF mungkin berkurangan, bahkan berbeza. Oleh itu, memperbaharui SVSF adalah perlu. Kajian ini adalah mengenai SVSF Mudah Suai. Pada awalnya, SVSF dilembutkan. Bagi menyediakan keupayaan anggaran statistik hinggar, ASVSF dihasilkan terlebih dahulu berdasarkan anggaran kemungkinan maksimum (MLE) dan maksimum-harapan (EM). Tambahan, statistik hinggar yang tidak berat sebelah juga dibuat. Walau bagaimanapun, rumusan formula kovarians ini adalah kompleks. Ini mungkin menyebabkan matriks simetri menjadi negatif. Oleh itu, ia diselaraskan berdasarkan penganggar kovarians inovasi (ICE). ASVSF dibina bagi menyelesaikan masalah dalam talian Penempatan dan Pemetaan Serentak (SLAM) dalam talian. Oleh itu, ia disebut sebagai algoritma ASVSF-SLAM. Algoritma yang dicadangkan ini menunjukkan ketepatan dan kestabilan yang lebih baik berbanding algoritma konvensional dari segi ralat punca min kuasa dua (RMSE) bagi kedua-dua Koordinat Anggaran Laluan (EPC) dan Anggaran Koordinat Peta (EMC).
SYSTEM OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF THE LEVEL OF STEAM POWER GENERATORS ON THE BASIS OF THE REGULATION CIRCUIT WITH SMOOTHING OF THE SIGNAL
Authors: Umurzakova Dilnoza
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this article is to develop high-quality combined automatic control systems (ACS) for the water level in the drum of steam boilers of thermal power plants (TPPs), which can significantly improve the quality of regulation and increase the efficiency of TPPs in a wide range of load changes. To improve the quality of water level control in the drum of steam generators of nuclear power plants with a pressurized water-cooled power reactor (PWPR), it is proposed to use a combined automatic control system based on a control loop with a correcting PI-controller tuned to a symmetrical optimum, with smoothing the reference signal and device compensation of the most dangerous internal and external measurable disturbances. A technique has been developed for assessing the impact of changes in the quality characteristics of transients of combined self-propelled guns by the water level in the drum of steam boilers and steam generators on the safety, reliability, durability, and efficiency of thermal power equipment of thermal power plants. Comparison was made of direct indicators of the quality of three ACS (typical and three-pulse, digital system with an observer state, and the proposed combined ACS). The simulation results of transients of the proposed and typical three-pulse self-propelled guns confirmed the advantages of the first.

Published: January 2021

Graphene oxide microcapsules (GOMs) have been prepared through Pickering emulsion method by varying the disperse speed to study its effect on the GOM’s size. The GOMs were characterized through phase separation observation, polarized optical microscope (POM), and particle size analyser (PSA). Phase separation observation showed more viscous and cloudy emulsion was produced when the disperse speed was increased. After 24 hours, only 800 rpm emulsion did not show any phase separation. POM characterization depicted that increasing the emulsification energy led to the finer emulsion with the 1200 rpm sample showing the smallest microcapsule size of around 8 ?m. However, PSA analysis suggested that although the disperse speed controls the GOMs size, the amount of GO in the emulsion plays an important role for the microcapsule to maintain its stability. Emulsion produced at 800 rpm possesses satisfactory stability with GOMs diameter of 11.15 ?m. The result also suggested that graphene oxide encapsulated linseed oil may act as a promising candidate for healing microcapsules in a self-healing coating system.
ABSTRAK: Mikrokapsul graphene oksida (GOMs) telah dihasilkan melalui kaedah emulsifikasi Pickering dengan memvariasikan tenaga pengemulsi untuk mengkaji kesannya terhadap saiz GOMs. GOMs dicirikan melalui pemerhatian pemisahan fasa, mikroskop optik polarisasi (POM) dan penganalisis saiz zarah (PSA). Pemerhatian pemisahan fasa menunjukkan emulsi yang lebih likat dan keruh dihasilkan apabila kelajuan pengemulsi meningkat. Selepas 24 jam, hanya emulsi 800 rpm tidak menunjukkan pemisahan fasa. Pencirian POM meunjukkan bahawa peningkatan tenaga pengemulsi menghasilkan emulsi yang lebih halus dengan sampel 1200 rpm menunjukkan saiz mikrokapsul terkecil, sekitar 8 ?m. Walau bagaimanapun, analisis PSA mencadangkan bahawa walaupun kelajuan pengemulsi mengawal saiz GOMs, jumlah GO dalam emulsi memainkan peranan penting untuk mengekalkan kestabilan mikrokapsul. Emulsi yang dihasilkan pada 800 rpm mempunyai kestabilan yang memuaskan dengan purata saiz GOMs sekitar 11.15 ?m. Berdasarkan dapatan kajian, graphene oksida yang terkandung minyak biji rami boleh menjadi salah satu mikrokapsul penyembuh dalam sistem cat auto-sembuh.

Published: January 2021

The Raj literature is mostly dominated by male characters with few negative stereotype women characters featuring in them. The Tower of Silence (1971/2005) by Paul Scott is one such novel which breaks the rule as it is women-centric, dominated by women characters of all ages. Unlike the common notion that Scott is critical of the Raj machinery, this paper will investigate the white women's burden a special technique used by Scott to displays the irrevocable British superiority of race, culture and moral obligations. The Tower of Silence (1971/2005) has a vast array of Memsahibs, and this novel connects the story of the previous two novels of the Quartet through these female characters, and it is almost devoid of any native female characters. This paper will study the glorification of the white women’s burden to display the vital role played by these Memsahib's in the propagation of the Empire.

Introduction: Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in developing countries like Nepal. Antibiotic resistance among microorganisms poses new challenges in the treatment of neonatal sepsis. The present study is conducted with the objectives of determining clinico-bacteriological profile and antibiotic susceptibility among isolated bacteria in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019, in the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital after obtaining ethical clearance from Institutional Review Committee (Reference Number: 2020-064). The sample size was calculated and 77 neonates with culture-proven sepsis were included in the study. The antibiotic susceptibility tests of the isolates were done by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Data entry was done in Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences version 20.

Results: Of the 841 specimens (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, tracheal aspirate and pus) processed for culture, bacteria were isolated in 84 (10.0%) specimens. Among the 84, gram-negative bacilli were the predominant isolates 76 (90.5%); of which Acinetobacter baumannii was the most common 27 (32.1%). Both the Gram-negative and the Gram-positive bacteria showed high resistance to Penicillin and Cephalosporins. Gram-negative bacteria showed maximum sensitivity to Colistin, Carbapenems, Tigecycline and Fluoroquinolones. Gram-positive bacteria showed maximum susceptibility to Amikacin, Vancomycin and Carbapenems.

Conclusions: Judicious use of antibiotics based on the updated knowledge of prevalent organisms in the local hospital setting and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern is of utmost importance for the effective treatment of neonatal sepsis.

Introduction: Each year, unsafe medical abortion costs the lives of thousands worldwide. Despite the legalization of abortion in Nepal in 2002, many still seek services from unauthorized sources. This has led to grave consequences including death. Our objective is to find out the prevalence of self-induced abortion by self-administration of abortive pills and related complications.

Methods: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out among abortion-related admissions in a tertiary care center from June 15 2018 to March 15, 2020. Ethical approval was taken from the institutional review committee (076/077/51). Data was collected using pre-designed proforma and analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data.

Results: Out of 223 cases enrolled, 37 (16.6%) (9.6-23.6 at 95% Confidence Interval) were self-induced abortion cases by self-administration of abortion pills. The mean gestational age at the time of intake of pills was 7+6±3+1 week of gestation. The majority were diagnosed with incomplete abortion 14 (37.8%) followed by septic abortion 8 (21.6%). A surgical evacuation was performed in 25 (67.6%). Anemia was observed in 19 (51.3%) with severe anemia in 4 (10.8%). Blood transfusion was carried out in 14 (37.8%). Post abortive contraception was accepted by only 16 (42.3%).

Conclusions: Medical abortion is safe if done under supervision but self-induced abortion by self-administration of abortion pills has a high complication rate. Therefore, further studies exploring a different dimension of the serious issue is the need of time.

Published: January 2021

Chordoma is a rare and locally aggressive tumor that arises from the notochordal remnants and has an incidence of 0.1/100000 per year. It has a predilection for the axial skeleton and is the most common primary malignant tumor of sacrum. The mainstay of treatment is wide surgical excision but there is a risk of recurrence due to the infiltrating nature of the tumor. Here, we report a case of a 56-years male who complained of pain over his sacral region for the past two years along with episodic urinary symptoms, constipation, and weakness of both legs. Seven years after undergoing surgery and radiotherapy for his sacral chordoma, he was diagnosed with recurrent sacral chordoma and planned for reoperation. Subtotal excision of the chordoma was done which significantly alleviated his symptoms postoperatively. Timely intervention helps to improve the quality of life in patients with either primary or recurrent sacral chordomas.

A könyvtártudomány és a könyvtáros hivatás szempontjából egyaránt izgalmas kérdés a mesterséges intelligenciából, a digitalizált dokumentumok, metaadatok, adat- és névterek fejlődéséből következő jövőkép. Könnyű jövendölni olyan „intelligens” rendszereket, melyek átvehetik szerepünket a múltban rögzített információk keresésében, a tájékoztatásban, kutatástámogatásban is, s tagadhatatlan, éppen ezek azok a területek, melyeken leginkább ragaszkodunk a nélkülözhetetlen emberi tényezőhöz, ha a könyvtáros munkakört veszélyeztető „robotokról” hallunk. Az előadása leegyszerűsítő futurológia ellenében vizsgálja a könyvtáros hivatás közeljövőjét. A technológiai fejlődés nemcsak az átfogó rendszerekhez, nagytömegű digitalizációhoz, adatbázis aratásokhoz és adatbányászathoz adott eszközöket, de az információk asszociatív összekapcsolásában, a digitális bölcsészet vagy az adatvizualizáció eszköztáraival a gyűjtemények feltárását, bemutatását, átjárhatóvá tételét is segíti. Az ELTE könyvtárosképzésébe illesztett tartalomfejlesztési projektek – léptéküknek és technológiai korlátjaiknak megfelelően – elsősorban e lehetőségek kutatása és modellezése szempontjából tanulságosak. A hallgatókkal közös munka során nemcsak a feldolgozott dokumentumokban, gyűjteményekben rejlő virtualizálható múlttal, s a bejárhatóvá tehető információrendszerrel szembesülünk, de az algoritmizáláshoz, automatizálásához szükséges emberi közreműködés mértékét és a hozzáadott értékek szükségességét is pontosan érzékeljük. Az előadás példái azt igazolják, hogy a múlt tudásának szükséges mélységű rekonstruálása is hosszú – talán végtelen – folyamat, amely mindvégig igényli az emberi közreműködést, a könyvtáros jelenlétét és kreativitását.
