Improving the quality of sleep under distant effects of weak extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields measured by subjective indicators
Authors: Blokhin I.S. , Arsen'ev G.N. , Dorokhov V.B.
Published: October 2018

Periodic variations of natural weak extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) along with illumination can serve for entrainment of circadian rhythms. It seems promising to use the non-pharmacological remote physiotherapy exposure to ELF-EMF for the correction of sleep disorders and the normalization of circadian rhythms of sleep.
The aim of our study was to assess the impact of weak ELFMF on different characteristics of night sleep, estimated by subjective assessment of sleep quality.
In our experiments, an ELF-EMF generator “Smart Sleep” formed rectangular current pulses supplied to the magnetic field emitter. The device has 7 modes of pulse frequency: 2, 4, 8, 16, 20, 32, 40 Hz. At a distance of 70–200 cm from the device field intensity was less than 0.2 µT, which is significantly less than the permissible hygienic standards. 20 healthy volunteers (both sexes, aged 20–30) took part in the study and self-assessed the night’s sleep: sleep quality, sleep latency, wellbeing on awakening, sleep fragmentation, quality of dreams, emotions in dreams, dreams’ memorability, awareness in dreams. The Kruskall-Wallis single-factor rank analysis was used. Significant improvements under ELF-EMF influence were found: p < 0,05 for the: wellbeing on awakening (4 Hz, 20 Hz), sleep fragmentation (8 Hz) and latency (20 Hz), the dream memorability (4 Hz), quality (2 Hz, 16 Hz), emotions (8 Hz) and awareness (20 Hz); p < 0,01 for the: sleep latency (32 Hz), the dream memorability (2 Hz), quality (4Hz) and emotions (2 Hz).

Формирующаяся инновационная инфраструктура вузов, нормативно-методическая база, эффективные контракты, новые подходы к подготовке и управлению научно-педагогическими кадрами свидетельствуют об инновационном характере управления в системе высшего образования. Именно качество человеческого капитала вузов имеет решающее значение для реализации всех инноваций в системе высшего образования. Поэтому предметом исследования является качественная характеристика управления, которой является эффективность управления человеческим капиталом вуза. Цель – обоснование модели эффективного управления человеческим капиталом вуза в соответствии с его общим направлением развития. Методология исследования включает обоснование ряда положений и аргументацию выводов на основе использования общенаучных и специальных методов анализа – диалектического, ситуационного, а также использования коэволюционного (системно-процессного) подхода. Проведенный анализ кадровой политики Санкт-Петербургского горного университета и Санкт-Петербургского государственного университета аэрокосмического приборостроения продемонстрировал результаты эффективного управления человеческим капиталом, что подтверждается данными статистики. Однако существующие проблемы объективной оценки эффективности управления обусловили необходимость дополнения индикативных методов индексными. Результатом стала модель, включающая индексные методы оценки эффективности управления человеческим капиталом. Данная модель применима при оценке капиталовложений в персонал вуза, который в свою очередь позволяет оценить эффективность управления человеческим капиталом. Таким образом, системный процесс оценки эффективности управления человеческим капиталом вузов по представленной модели позволит своевременно находить проблемные зоны и узкие места в управлении их человеческим капиталом, что обеспечит своевременное реагирование управленческого звена вуза на проблемы в области его человеческого капитала.

Pembahasan materi ini tentang Bahasa dan Kebudayaan. Pada dasarnya Bahasa dan budaya saling berpengaruh. Dalam penggunaan bahasa dapat diketahui bahwa ada hubungan antara struktur sosial dan cara masyarakat dalam menggunakan bahasa tersebut yang dapat mengarah pada pembentukan perilaku linguistik tersebut. Bahasa dapat juga diwujudkan sebagai refleksi diri, artinya bahasa yang dipergunakan oleh masyarakat adalah suatu refleksi atau cermin keseluruhan kebudayaan masyarakat tersebut. Hubungan bahasa dengan kebudayaan secara garis besar terdapat dua kategori, yaitu yang bersifat subordinatif, di mana bahasa di bawah lingkup kebudayaan, dan hubungan yang bersifat koordinatif, yakni hubungan yang sederajat dengan kedudukannya yang sama tinggi

Published: October 2018

Perbankan Syariah adalah sarana penting dalam kegiatan perekonomian masyarakat Muslim. Setelah seperempat abad kehadirannya di Indonesia hanya mampu meraih pangsa pasar sekitar 5% saja. Dalam membangun bisnis Bank Syariah sebenarnya sangat ditentukan oleh minat dan banyaknya masyarakat yang memutuskan untuk memilih produk bank itu. Diantara faktor penting yang diyakini mempengaruhi masyarakat memilih produk Bank Syariah adalah tingkat religiusitas nasabah dan ekuitas label Syariah yang difungsikan sebagai merek. Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh kedua variabel ini terhadap keputusan nasabah memilih produk Bank Syariah Mandiri (BSM) di Pasaman Barat. Populasinya adalah seluruh nasbah BSM Cabang Simpang Empat. Karena tidak diperoleh informasi yang pasti tentang jumlahnya maka jumlah sampel ditetapkan berdasarkan rumus Wibisono yaitu 97 orang. Variabel-variabel penelitian diukur dengan instrumen kuesioner yang nilai kuantitatifnya ditetapkan dengan skala Likert. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa variabel religiusitas dan ekuitas label syariah masing-masing mempengaruhi keputusan pemilihan nasabah pada produk BSM secara positif dan signifikan. Sedangkan religiusitas sebagai variabel eksternal dapat berperan sebagai variabel moderator dan memperkuat pengaruh ekuitas label syariah terhadap keputusan nasabah dalam memilih produk BSM. Implikasi hasil penelitian ini adalah dalam meningkatkan bobot keputusan pemilihan nasabah, dapat dilakukan dengan meningkatkan lagi ekuitas merek/label syariah, fokus pada masyarakat dengan tingkat religiusitas yang tinggi dan menjalin kerjasama dengan pemuka agama.

EVIDENCE OF A FUNCTIONAL RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM IN THE CHANNEL CATFISH (ICTALURUS PUNCTATUS)
Authors: Hunt Justin C. , Davis Kenneth A. , Sanderford Max G.
Published: October 2018

Salination of freshwater (FW) bodies has the potential to affect homeostatic regulation of osmotic and volume balance in FW organisms. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in volume balance by maintaining blood pressure in marine and seawater acclimated euryhaline fish, but little is known about the RAS in FW adapted fish. The purpose of the present study was to first determine if the FW channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), demonstrates evidence of a functional RAS. Channel catfish (n = 6) were implanted with a catheter in the dorsal aorta to measure dorsal aortic pressure (PDA) and infuse drugs. Infusion of [Asn1,Val5,Asn9]-angiotensin I (ANGI) at 100, 400, and 1000 ng/kg significantly increased PDA in a dose dependent manner (P < 0.05). Pretreatment with 2 mg/kg of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, Captopril (CAP), essentially eliminated the pressor response to the highest dose of ANGI (P < 0.05). Finally, infusion of 400 ng/kg [Asn1,Val5]-angiotensin II (ANGII) significantly increased PDA from baseline (P < 0.05). The results suggest that channel catfish appear to have an operational RAS and may serve as a suitable model in which to study the role of ANGII in blood pressure regulation in FW adapted fish.
New oral anticoagulants
Authors: KANDEMİR Hüseyin
Published: October 2018

Oral anticoagulants are
medications that have an important place in the prevention and treatment of
thromboembolic events that can be seen in the course of many diseases today. Warfarin,
vitamin K antagonists are the most commonly known and used oral anticoagulants.
Drugs known as new oral anticoagulants have emerged due to the difficulties in
treatment and follow-up with warfarin. New oral anticoagulants exhibit
anticoagulant effects, disrupting the structure and function of some factors in
the coagulation cascade. There are many advantages such as monitorisation
requirement, constant dose use, patient compliance and ease of follow-up.
Meta-analyzes of large studies with new oral anticoagulants have shown that
they are non-inferior from warfarin in the prevention and treatment of
thromboembolic events, and even superior in some cases. Due to the ease of use
and advantages of these new agents, they have been rapidly spreading and taking
place in the prevention and treatment of embolism and ischemic events.
Therefore, the areas of use of these drugs, the location of treatment,
follow-up, possible side effects and most importantly management of bleeding
complications should be well known and applied.
An overview of the NFAIS conference: Blockchain for scholarly publishing
Authors: Lawlor Bonnie
Published: October 2018

This paper offers an overview of the highlights of the NFAIS Conference, Blockchain for Scholarly Publishing, that was held in Alexandria, VA from May 15–16, 2018. The goal of the conference was to take a close look at the initiatives that have emerged as a result of the increasing global acceptance of blockchain technology. This technology, chiefly known as the foundation of Bitcoin and originally introduced as a means of securely managing cryptocurrency, has proven to have practical applications beyond finance. The basic technology is that of a distributed ledger and it is being broadly-adopted by multiple industries, including the scholarly publishing community. The capabilities of this new technology are prompting a direct exchange among stakeholders, as blockchain promises a more structured, decentralized, and immutably secure approach that has the potential to significantly impact researcher workflows - from data collection to peer review to access and published work. The technology inspires passion - there are those who believe that it will ultimately transform our lives while others are completely skeptical. The NFAIS conference provided a look at both sides of the coin (no pun intended).
Blockchain and scholarly publishing could be best friends
Authors: Holmen Mads
Published: October 2018

All the power on the Internet belongs to companies such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon - largely because they control content discovery. Users return to them time and time again instead of browsing around the web like originally intended because the access mode is direct and trusted. Also, these developers have built clever technology and algorithms that keep users hooked - all while using what remains siloed information and data that is essentially provided by publishers who themselves have built websites, platforms, and apps with walls around users.

This paper attempts to demonstrate how Blockchain technology provides an opportunity to take back this power by decentralizing the Internet once again. It also offers the possibility to open up horizontal discovery on the web between publishers providing optimal discovery, while at the same time creating trust and transparency between publishers.

Heat-transfer coefficients are reported for one surface, a plain surface, with 50 mm square base area. Parallel channel test piece has one mm by one mm, 25 channelsThe data were produced while boiling R113 at atmospheric pressure. For this surface, the mass flux range was 200 – 600 kg/m2s and the heat flux range was 5 - 80 kW/m2. The results obtained have been compared with standard correlations for tube bundles. The measured heat-transfer coefficients for the parallel micro-channel surface are slightly bigger for any plate channel surface. It is dependent on heat flux and reasonably independent of mass flux and vapor quality. Thus, heat transfer is probably dominated by nucleate boiling. The parallel channel heat transfer coefficients were typically bigger than other plate -channel values.

Blackboard facilitation: Reflection as a tool used to explore students experiences on Evidence-based Practice
Authors: Uys Yolinda
Published: October 2018

Introduction: Limited resources require EBP management that meets patients’ needs and preferences using newest research and expertise. Seeking out the best practices will lead to decreased length of stay and costs [1]. An evidence-based curriculum embedded across courses and years in the academic and clinical setting fosters the best method of facilitation of evidence-based decision-making [2]. EBP is not fully integrated into the curriculum of undergraduate nursing students. The undergraduate nursing curriculum is where nursing students must be introduced to EBP thus making the need for EBP in the curriculum an essential priority.

Methods: The study was qualitative in nature. An EBP module was facilitated on Blackboard. Census sampling was used to select participants to ensure valuable information applicable to the research [3]. Informed consent were obtained from all final year undergraduate nursing students that agreed to participate. To ensure anonymity no student identifiers were used. Reflective journals served as qualitative data and were collected via Blackboard. Data were analyzed by using Tech’s six steps of content analysis. The researcher did the coding of the data which was verified by an independent external expert. Text that reflects a specific theme can be adjoined to represent certain experiences.

Results: Reflective journals consist of memory and indicate opinions, perceptions, patterns and trends. Students could utilize Blackboard in a positive and safe environment. Timely feedback on a regular basis is a motivating experience and assists students to work through distressful clinical events, should any occur. There was a significant change in the students’ beliefs on the significance of EBP. EBP implementation took place concluding that EBP in the curriculum will contribute to the use of research utilization in practice. Students experienced the teaching strategies useful and reflected professional development.

Conclusion: The reflective journals on Blackboard included self-assessment that involved organizing behavior. The knowledge gained from the EBP process motivated the students to implement EBP in the clinical setting. The students were facilitated to skilfully reflect and learn from each clinical situation. If a student is guided during the reflective process, it can lead to lifelong learning.

Key words: Evidence-Based Practice, Curriculum, Reflection.
Mediators of Food Insecurity and Obesity in Female Heads-of-Household with Children
Authors: Havrilla Emily
Published: October 2018

Background: The prevalence of obesity is a significant issue in the United States. Among vulnerable populations, obesity exists in the presence of household food insecurity; however the mechanisms of the relationship are not well understood. General perceived stress and general self-efficacy were evaluated as mediators of the relationship between food insecurity and obesity in female heads-of-household with children. Methods: A cross-sectional correlational design with mediation model testing was used. Subjects (N = 86) were recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Core Food Security Module (CFSM), the General Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (SES). Body mass index and waist –to-hip circumference were calculated from measured data. Results: Significant relationships were found between food insecurity and general perceived stress, general perceived stress and obesity, and general self-efficacy and obesity. Mediation models’ testing was not completed due the lack of a significant correlation between food insecurity and obesity. Post hoc analysis was completed using bootstrapping and a revised mediation model process. Conclusion: General perceived stress and general self-efficacy are associated with obesity in female heads-of-household with children who are food insecure. Keywords: Food insecurity, Obesity, Stress, Self-efficacy, Vulnerable populations, Quantitative research, Socioeconomic factors

Authors: Lin Li-Man , Lin Hui-Fen , Lee Chin-Tzu , Chiu Chiu-Mei , Kuo Mei-Ling
Published: October 2018

Objective:

Children are susceptible to sentiment because their physiology, psychology, comprehension and language expression has not yet matured. Therefore, when they have to undergo an operation there will be resistance because of fear of the unknown.

Methods:

This study was conducted from September 2015 to March 2016. Pre-school children who underwent outpatient surgeries were the subjects of the study. The research methods were actual observation and questionnaire survey. The “Pre-school Children’s Preoperative Fear Response Observation Record” was used as the survey tool. Mann-Whitney U Test was used to compare the children’s responsive behaviors before and after intervention.

Results:

A total of 11 subjects were included in the study. Only 13.3% of pre-school children were willing to cooperate, while 67.8% of pre-school children feel fear before the operation. In order to reduce their fear, this study used clinical care teaching, development of care guidelines for pre-school preoperative fear, the layout of surgery waiting area for outpatient and operating room, providing touch medical equipment and selective medical treatment, use of modeling balloons, use of games in tablets and stickers as a care auxiliary as intervention. Using these, they not only were willing to cooperate but also have reduced their fear. The degree of coordination increased from 13.3% to 76.7%, the extent of fear cut down from 67.8% to 10.3%, and 98% of the family members were satisfied.

Conclusion:

Throughout the operation, professional nursing care that also focuses on the children’s emotion by establishing good relationship were established. Through teamwork, the group provided the pre-school children with a wide range of care, thereby reducing the preschool children's preoperative fear and family members became more satisfied.

"Il parlamento può fare tutto, tranne che trasformare una donna in uomo e un uomo in una donna". (Trans)sessualità, genere e politica nel dibattito parlamentare sulla legge 164/1982
Authors: Voli Stefania
Published: October 2018

Nell'articolo l'autrice intende ricostruire l'iter parlamentare che ha portato all'approvazione della legge 164/1982 (Norme in materia di rettificazione di attribuzione di sesso). Ripercorrere le tappe che hanno caratterizzato il dibattito sul "cambiamento di sesso" tra il 1979 e il 1982 offre un'inedita prospettiva di analisi sul rapporto tra la categoria di genere e le principali culture politiche - istituzionali e di movimento - presenti tra gli anni Settanta e Ottanta. In particolare, si è posta l'attenzione sulle modalità con cui il Movimento transessuale italiano (Mit) ha intrecciato un dialogo con alcuni dei soggetti protagonisti sulla scena politica del periodo, traducendo le proprie istanze sul piano istituzionale, fino ad arrivare ad imporle all'attenzione del Parlamento. Si pensa in particolare al Partito radicale, che si fece promotore della legge in Parlamento, ma anche al Partito comunista. Da tale prospettiva l'autrice ha infine voluto analizzare il contesto nel quale si è resa possibile l'approvazione della 164/1982, disegnandone i confini e le ricadute sul piano tanto individuale quanto collettivo.

Background: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the most common and prognostically unfavorable outcome of many diseases of the cardiovascular system. Recent data suggest that beta-blockers are beneficial in patients with CHF. Among β-blocker class of drugs, bisoprolol is a highly selective β1-adrenergic receptor blocker whereas Carvedilol is non-selective. Many large-scale trials have confirmed that both these β-blockers are superior to placebo and other β-blockers. This study was designed to compare the effects of carvedilol and bisoprolol in patients with chronic HF in a single center.Methods: It was a quasi experimental study. A total of 288 cases of heart failure were selected by purposive sampling, from January 2017 to June 2017. Each patient was allocated into either of the two groups, and was continued receiving treatment with either bisoprolol (Group-I) or carvedilol (Group-II). Each patient was evaluated clinically and echocardiographically at the beginning of treatment (baseline) and at the end of 3rd month. Echocardiography was performed to find out change in left ventricular systolic function.Result: After 3 months of treatment, ejection fraction was found higher in the bisoprolol group (42.6 ± 6.5 versus 38.3 ± 4.6%; P < 0.05). Ejection fraction (EF) changes were 8.4% in bisoprolol group and 4.1% in carvedilol group. A significant reduction in left ventricular end-systolic volume (21.9±2.5 in group I versus 14.9±5.7 in group II; P < 0.05) and left ventricular systolic diameter (3.2±0.1 in group I versus 2.3±0.5 in group II; P<0.05) occurred after 3 months of treatment. But no significant differences were observed in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (10.1±3.2 versus 6.1±6.4; P=0.101) and left ventricular diastolic diameter (1.7±0.8 versus 1.3±0.8; P=0.081) between groups. Three months after treatment, heart rate was reduced in the bisoprolol group from 87.7±9 to 74.5±8.1 and carvedilol group from 88.8±9.1 to 80.1±8.7. Differences in heart rate responses between 2 groups were not statistically significant (P=0.113). Assessment of blood pressure three months later of treatment shows, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were improved in both group but difference between two groups were statistically non significant (p>0.05).Conclusion: In this study, bisoprolol was superior to carvedilol in increasing left-ventricular ejection fraction, improving left ventricular end systolic volume and left ventricular end systolic diameter but no significant difference was observed in LV end diastolic volume, LV end diastolic diameter, heart rate and blood pressure.University Heart Journal Vol. 14, No. 1, Jan 2018; 3-8
Introduction: Emotion, History and the Arts
Authors: Sullivan Erin , Herzfeld-Schild Marie Louise
Published: October 2018

This introduction surveys the rise of the history of emotions as a field and the role of the arts in such developments. Reflecting on the foundational role of the arts in the early emotion-oriented histories of Johan Huizinga and Jacob Burkhardt, as well as the concerns about methodological impressionism that have sometimes arisen in response to such studies, the introduction considers how intensive engagements with the arts can open up new insights into past emotions while still being historically and theoretically rigorous. Drawing on a wide range of emotionally charged art works from different times and places—including the novels of Carson McCullers and Harriet Beecher-Stowe, the private poetry of neo-Confucian Chinese civil servants, the photojournalism of twentieth-century war correspondents, and music from Igor Stravinsky to the Beatles—the introduction proposes five ways in which art in all its forms contributes to emotional life and consequently to emotional histories: first, by incubating deep emotional experiences that contribute to formations of identity; second, by acting as a place for the expression of private or deviant emotions; third, by functioning as a barometer of wider cultural and attitudinal change; fourth, by serving as an engine of momentous historical change; and fifth, by working as a tool for emotional connection across communities, both within specific time periods but also across them. The introduction finishes by outlining how the special issue's five articles and review section address each of these categories, while also illustrating new methodological possibilities for the field.
Cannon-fever: Beethoven, Waterloo and the Noise of War
Authors: Shaw Philip
Published: October 2018

Originally written to commemorate the Duke of Wellington's victory over Joseph Bonaparte at the Battle of Vitoria in Spain on 21 June 1813, Wellington's Victory, or, the Battle of Vitoria (Wellington's Sieg oder die Schlacht bei Vittoria), Op. 91 became, in the months following the Battle of Waterloo, ‘a national stock-piece’ (Literary Gazette, 1817, 91). Based around a simple, not to say simplistic, opposition between French and English musical motifs – ‘Rule Britannia’ and ‘God Save the King’ for the British, and ‘Marlborough s'en va-t-en guerre’ (a tune better known in English as ‘For He's a Jolly Good Fellow’) – the symphony moves towards a carefully notated clash of arms, involving rapid bursts of musketry and cannon fire from opposing orchestral ‘sides’, and rhythmic simulations of galloping cavalry. However, as contemporary accounts of performances of the symphony reveal, the excessive frequency of the loud cracks, bangs and crashes, often deployed by live artillery, made for uncomfortable listening, evoking Goethe's description of the disorientating effects of ‘cannon-fever’ (kanonenfieber). In its activation of the ‘noise’ of war, a mimetic dissonance at odds with the formal unities of the heroic style, Beethoven's symphony thus subverts its assumed status as a pièce d'occasion while also emphasising the sense in which the sounds of battle exceed the regulatory parameters of the Kantian sublime. This article argues that although the Wellington symphony was denounced by critics as a ‘minor’ piece, it highlights an emergent note of discontent in Beethoven's music with the appropriation of music for triumphalist ends.

Water scarcity threatens the sustainability of irrigated agriculture in semi-arid regions, and ridge-furrow planting systems (RFPS) can be a prospective rainwater harvesting approach. In this study, we aimed to develop a promising water-saving strategy to boost maize productivity and water use efficiency (WUE). In 2017, we carried out a field experiment to study the effects of various RFPS with multiple irrigation levels on the yield-water relationship of maize (Zea mays L.). Eleven treatments were set up: RFPS with film mulching on both ridges and furrows and without water supply after seed emergence, abbreviated as QF; RFPS with film mulching on continuous ridges, abbreviated as MD, including SMD, MMD, and LMD (S, M, and L—three water supply (irrigation plus precipitation) levels of 650 mm, 500 mm, and 350 mm during the whole growing season); RFPS without film mulching, abbreviated as DD, including SDD, MDD, and LDD; conventional flat planting with no film mulching, abbreviated as GG, including SGG, MGG, and LGG; localized full irrigation (actual amount of irrigation excessively exceeding the quantity needed), abbreviated as NM. A positive linear relationship (R2 = 0.95–1), a quadratic curve, and a negative linear relationship were observed between the irrigation water level and actual crop evapotranspiration (ETc), grain yield, and WUE, respectively. The ETc of QF (292 mm) was substantially lower than that of the other treatments (p < 0.01), saving 649 mm of irrigation water and increasing the yield by 2.24% compared with those of NM. Meanwhile, the WUE and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) of QF reached maximums of 6.3 and 47.36 kg m−3, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of other treatments (p < 0.001). The results showed that planting in an RFPS with film mulching on both ridges and furrows (a ridge-to-furrow ratio of 50:30, with a 38 mm irrigation level) is suitable for maize to obtain high yield and reduce irrigation water use significantly.

Published: October 2018

Distributed fiber-optic sensing based on Brillouin scattering has been extensively studied and many configurations have been developed so far. In this paper, we review the recent advances in Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry (BOCDR), which is known as a unique technique with intrinsic single-end accessibility, high spatial resolution, and cost efficiency. We briefly discuss the advantages and disadvantages of BOCDR over other Brillouin-based distributed sensing techniques, and present the fundamental principle and properties of BOCDR with some special schemes for enhancing the performance. We also describe the recent development of a high-speed configuration of BOCDR (slope-assisted BOCDR), which offers a beyond-nominal-resolution detectability. The paper is summarized with some future prospects.
On the Contribution of Wind Farms in Automatic Generation Control: Review and New Control Approach

Published: October 2018

Wind farms can contribute to ancillary services to the power system, by advancing and adopting new control techniques in existing, and also in new, wind turbine generator systems. One of the most important aspects of ancillary service related to wind farms is frequency regulation, which is partitioned into inertial response, primary control, and supplementary control or automatic generation control (AGC). The contribution of wind farms for the first two is well addressed in literature; however, the AGC and its associated controls require more attention. In this paper, in the first step, the contribution of wind farms in supplementary/load frequency control of AGC is overviewed. As second step, a fractional order proportional-integral-differential (FOPID) controller is proposed to control the governor speed of wind turbine to contribute to the AGC. The performance of FOPID controller is compared with classic proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller, to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control method in the frequency regulation of a two-area power system. Furthermore, the effect of penetration level of wind farms on the load frequency control is analyzed.

Published: October 2018

Most methods for singular points detection usually depend on the orientation fields of fingerprints, which cannot achieve reliable and accurate detection of poor quality fingerprints. In this study, a new method for fingerprint singular points detection based on Faster-RCNN (Faster Region-based Convolutional Network method) is proposed, which is a two-step process, and an orientation constraint is added in Faster-RCNN to obtain orientation information of singular points. Besides, we designed a convolutional neural network (ConvNet) for singular points detection according to the characteristics of fingerprint images and the existing works. Specifically, the proposed method could extract singular points directly from raw fingerprint images without traditional preprocessing. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. In comparison with other detection algorithms, our method achieves 96.03% detection rate for core points and 98.33% detection rate for delta points on FVC2002 DB1 dataset while 90.75% for core points and 94.87% on NIST SD4 dataset, which outperform other algorithms.
