Online Process Safety Performance Indicators Using Big Data: How a PSPI Looks Different from a Data Perspective
Authors: Singh Paul , van Gulijk Coen , Sunderland Neil
Published: September 2023

This work presents a data-centric method to use IoT data, generated from the site, to monitor core functions of safety barriers on a batch reactor. The approach turns process safety performance indicators (PSPIs) into online, globally available safety indicators that eliminate variability in human interpretation. This work also showcases a class of PSPIs that are reliable and time-dependent but only work in a digital online environment: profile PSPIs. It is demonstrated that the profile PSPI opens many new opportunities for leading indicators, without the need for complex mathematics. Online PSPI analyses were performed at the Syngenta Huddersfield Manufacturing Centre, Leeds Road, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom, and shared with their international headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. The performance was determined with industry software to extract time-series data and perform the calculations. The calculations were based on decades of IoT data stored in the AVEVA Factory Historian. Non-trivial data cleansing and additional data tags were required for the creation of relevant signal conditions and composite conditions. This work demonstrates that digital methods do not require gifted data analysts to report existing PSPIs in near real-time and is well within the capabilities of chemical (safety) engineers. Current PSPIs can also be evaluated in terms of their effectiveness to allow management to make decisions that lead to corrective actions. This improves significantly on traditional PSPI processes that, when reviewed monthly, lead to untimely decisions and actions. This approach also makes it possible to review PSPIs as they develop, receiving notifications of PSPIs when they reach prescribed limits, all with the potential to recommend alternative PSPIs that are more proactive in nature.

Published: September 2023

In this study, a novel Fe3O4/Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 magnetic composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized, tailored specifically for the visible light-driven photocatalytic degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics, more precisely, sulfamethazine (SMZ). To analyze the fabricated samples, characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis) were systematically employed. The composite showcased efficient visible-light absorption and charge separation, with its peak photocatalytic performance recorded at a solution pH value of 6.0. Significantly, the Fe3O4/Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 magnetic composite photocatalyst displayed excellent stability and recyclability, consistently maintaining a high degradation efficiency of over 97% even after five consecutive cycles. Further experimentation with radical scavengers confirmed a significant decrease in photocatalytic activity, establishing that superoxide radicals (•O2−) and photo-generated holes (h+) are the primary active species during the degradation of SMZ. Overall, it provides a crucial understanding regarding the photocatalytic decomposition of sulfonamide antibiotics using magnetic composite photocatalysts. It also emphasizes the promising potential of the Fe3O4/Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 composite for tangible applications in environmental remediation.

Published: September 2023

Auditing future public places that have not yet been constructed can be a laborious, time-consuming, and expensive task. However, the human factor plays a crucial role in successful infrastructure design. By involving users early in the design process, valuable insights can be gained prior to the physical construction, resulting in more appealing spaces for users. In this research, we explore the potential of non-immersive virtual reality to perceive atmospheres in architectural projects. We investigate suitable methodologies for studying this subject and examine its educational implications in architecture. The study focuses on a large-scale neighborhood currently undergoing complete reconstruction. We extract and model four environments in 3D, offering a virtual tour of these spaces and their infrastructures to both expert and non-expert participants. Through a questionnaire, we collect their responses to evaluate the architectural atmospheres of these distinct areas. This article analyzes the expressed feelings and provides projections on the anticipated sensations once the real estate project is completed. Additionally, it compares the expectations of professionals with the impressions of the public based on virtual visits. By emphasizing outdoor architecture and employing a larger city 3D model in the experimentation, this study contributes to the existing literature on participatory studies. The empirical research findings underscore the advantages of involving users early in the design process for buildings and streetscapes, leading to an enhanced user experience before implementing infrastructure renovations.

Authors: Maashi Mashael , Alabduallah Bayan , Kouki Fadoua
Published: September 2023

Sustainable financial fraud detection (FD) comprises the use of sustainable and ethical practices in the detection of fraudulent activities in the financial sector. Credit card fraud (CCF) has dramatically increased with the advances in communication technology and e-commerce systems. Recently, deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) algorithms have been employed in CCF detection due to their features’ capability of building a powerful tool to find fraudulent transactions. With this motivation, this article focuses on designing an intelligent credit card fraud detection and classification system using the Garra Rufa Fish optimization algorithm with an ensemble-learning (CCFDC-GRFOEL) model. The CCFDC-GRFOEL model determines the presence of fraudulent and non-fraudulent credit card transactions via feature subset selection and an ensemble-learning process. To achieve this, the presented CCFDC-GRFOEL method derives a new GRFO-based feature subset selection (GRFO-FSS) approach for selecting a set of features. An ensemble-learning process, comprising an extreme learning machine (ELM), bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), and autoencoder (AE), is used for the detection of fraud transactions. Finally, the pelican optimization algorithm (POA) is used for parameter tuning of the three classifiers. The design of the GRFO-based feature selection and POA-based hyperparameter tuning of the ensemble models demonstrates the novelty of the work. The simulation results of the CCFDC-GRFOEL technique are tested on the credit card transaction dataset from the Kaggle repository and the results demonstrate the superiority of the CCFDC-GRFOEL technique over other existing approaches.

Authors: Lee Minseok , Park Chanmin
Published: September 2023

This study aims to explore the participation preferences of players in Play-to-Earn (PTE) games, a topic of growing relevance as PTE games gain increasing attention. These games offer players the unique opportunity to earn real-world rewards through virtual gameplay activities. By examining the factors that drive players’ decision-making in PTE games, we deepen our understanding of the intersection between virtual economies and real-world financial needs. The insights from this study can provide game developers and policymakers with valuable information to design and implement effective strategies that support individuals seeking alternative income sources and new economic models in the face of unprecedented challenges. To determine the prioritization of motivating factors among PTE game players, we utilized the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis as part of a three-stage process: a literature review (Stage 1), expert evaluation (Stage 2), and AHP analysis (Stage 3). The study derived 12 critical factors in PTE gameplay from literature review, divided into three primary elements, each with four sub-factors. These primary factors include Gaming Experience (comprising Fun factor, Game Quality, Game Genre, and Challenge), Financial Outcomes (consisting of Tokenomics, ROI, Game Company Reliability, and Coin Price), and PTE Game Awareness (including Management, Game Entry Timing, Game Platform, and Community). This study uncovers the three primary factors that encourage participation in PTE games, with Gaming Experience emerging as the most critical, followed by Financial Outcomes and PTE Game Awareness. This finding underlines the need for game developers to prioritize the gaming experience to ensure the development and sustainability of PTE games.

Published: September 2023

Changing consumption patterns, new packaging materials, innovative waste processing, and recycling technologies, but also unforeseen events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, in the presence of the climate crisis and ecological degradation, necessitate the development of flexible and adaptive municipal waste management infrastructure and processes governed by equally flexible and adaptive organisations. In this regard, this paper presents the design process for such an organisation based on the Viable System Model (VSM). The VSM is a systems approach for the methodological diagnosis and design of organisations that can adapt to, and survive, changes in the environment that they are part of. Through a reference case of a large municipality in Greece, we demonstrate how the VSM and the related VIPLAN methodology can be used for the methodological development of flexible and adaptive municipal waste management systems (MWMS) for governing organisations.
Research on Ecological Driving Following Strategy Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Zhou Weiqi , Wu Nanchi , Liu Qingchao , Pan Chaofeng , Chen Long
Published: September 2023

Traditional car-following models usually prioritize minimizing inter-vehicle distance error when tracking the preceding vehicle, often neglecting crucial factors like driving economy and passenger ride comfort. To address this limitation, this paper integrates the concept of eco-driving and formulates a multi-objective function that encompasses economy, comfort, and safety. A novel eco-driving car-following strategy based on the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) is proposed, employing the vehicle’s state, including data from the preceding vehicle and the ego vehicle, as the state space, and the desired time headway from the intelligent driver model (IDM) as the action space. The DDPG agent is trained to dynamically adjust the following vehicle’s speed in real-time, striking a balance between driving economy, comfort, and safety. The results reveal that the proposed DDPG-based IDM model significantly enhances comfort, safety, and economy when compared to the fixed-time headway IDM model, achieving an economy improvement of 2.66% along with enhanced comfort. Moreover, the proposed approach maintains a relatively stable following distance under medium-speed conditions, ensuring driving safety. Additionally, the comprehensive performance of the proposed method is analyzed under three typical scenarios, confirming its generalization capability. The DDPG-enhanced IDM car-following model aligns with eco-driving principles, offering novel insights for advancing IDM-based car-following models.
Data-Driven Kalman Consensus Filtering for Connected Vehicle Speed Estimation in a Multi-Sensor Network
Authors: Ji Honghai , Mei Jie , Wang Li , Liu Shida , Ren Ye
Published: September 2023

The autonomous traffic system has imposed higher requirements on the speed estimation of connected vehicles, where the speed of connected vehicles, as one of the control conditions for refined traffic management, plays a crucial role in the evaluation and optimization of network performance. In this paper, we propose a multi-source speed measurement sensor network consensus filtering (MSCF) algorithm based on information weight for the problem of optimal speed consistency estimation for connected vehicles. Specifically, we first utilize dynamic linearization techniques and data-driven parameter identification algorithms to handle the derived state equations of connected vehicles. We then establish observation models for four different types of sensors and construct distributed direct and indirect measurement models by dynamically adjusting the information weights of sensor nodes. Following this, we combine the Kalman consistency filtering algorithm to derive the speed state estimation update rate and design a new state estimator to achieve the optimal consistent convergence estimation for connected vehicles’ speed. The MSCF algorithm can solve the problem of consistency filtering for noisy sensor data under observation- and communication-constrained conditions, enabling each sensor node to obtain a consistent convergence estimation value for the speed of the connected vehicle. The convergence of the algorithm is proved using the Lyapunov function. Through numerical simulation, the results are verified, indicating that compared to existing methods, this method can achieve a higher precision speed estimation effect.

Published: September 2023

We review recent trends in inflationary dynamics in the context of viable modified gravity theories. After providing a general overview of the inflationary paradigm emphasizing on what problems hot Big Bang theory inflation solves, and a somewhat introductory presentation of single-field inflationary theories with minimal and non-minimal couplings, we review how inflation can be realized in terms of several string-motivated models of inflation, which involve Gauss–Bonnet couplings of the scalar field, higher-order derivatives of the scalar field, and some subclasses of viable Horndeski theories. We also present and analyze inflation in the context of Chern–Simons theories of gravity, including various subcases and generalizations of string-corrected modified gravities, which also contain Chern–Simons correction terms, with the scalar field being identified with the invisible axion, which is the most viable to date dark matter candidate. We also provide a detailed account of vacuum f(R) gravity inflation, and also inflation in f(R,ϕ) and kinetic-corrected f(R,ϕ) theories of gravity. At the end of the review, we discuss the technique for calculating the overall effect of modified gravity on the waveform of the standard general relativistic gravitational wave form.

Published: September 2023

This postmarketing surveillance study was conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of onabotulinumtoxinA in Japanese patients with laryngeal dystonia (LD). Patients receiving onabotulinumtoxinA for the first time were enrolled and observed for up to 12 months following the first injection. Safety assessment included adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and effectiveness assessments included the Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) and physician’s global assessment (PGA). ADRs were observed in 48 (5.8%) of 834 patients in the safety analysis set, including dysphonia in 43 (5.2%) patients and dysphagia in 7 (0.8%) patients. The change in total VHI-10 score (mean) in 790 patients included in the effectiveness analysis set showed that improvement in adductor LD peaked at 2 months after the first injection, while patients with abductor or mixed LD showed a gradual attenuation of effect 2–4 weeks post-injection. The change in total VHI-10 score in subsequent injections was generally similar to that following the first injection. The overall effectiveness rate according to the PGA was 93.4% (738/790 patients). The results demonstrate that onabotulinumtoxinA is a well-tolerated and effective treatment for LD in real-world clinical practice.

Published: September 2023

High levels of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in water bodies negatively affect the biota of aquatic ecosystems and surrounding environments. A risk assessment investigation of the levels and distribution of PTEs in the seawater of the Jazan coastal area, southwest Saudi Arabia, was conducted. Thirty-two surface seawater samples were collected, and contamination (Cd) and heavy metal pollution (HPI) indices, as well as multivariate statistics, were applied. The average PTE levels (µg/L), in descending order of magnitude, were Cu (2.56), Pb (2.27), Ni (1.30), Cr (1.28), Zn (1.04), Sb (0.36), Co (0.22), and Cd (0.06). A fluctuating pattern without a fixed direction was detected in the spatial distribution of these metals, with increased pollution being linked to high metal levels as shown by some samples. The HPI indicated low pollution in 50% of the samples and medium pollution in the remaining 50%, whereas the Cd indicated low contamination with PTEs. The absence of significant correlations between pairs of metals indicated different sources of metal pollution. Lithogenic sources are implicated in the supply of Co, Ni, Pb, and Sb, whereas Cr was mainly derived from an anthropogenic source, and combined lithogenic and anthropogenic sources are believed to have contributed Cu and Zn to the area. It is proposed that urbanization, agriculture, and industry are among the potential anthropogenic sources of pollutants on the Jazan coastline. Soils generated on the undifferentiated Quaternary rocks along the investigated area are the main lithogenic sources.

Combining Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Optical Vegetation Indices to Better Understand Plant Phenological Responses to Global Change
Authors: Zhang Yao , Peñuelas Josep
Published: September 2023

Recent advances in the satellite retrieval of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) provide new opportunities for understanding the phenological responses of ecosystems to global climate change. Because of the strong link between SIF and plant gross photosynthesis, phenological events derived from SIF represent the seasonal variation of ecosystem functioning (photosynthetic phenology) and differ from phenologies derived from traditional vegetation indices. We provide an overview of recent advances in remotely sensed photosynthetic phenologies, with a focus on their driving factors, their impact on the global carbon cycle, and their relationships with vegetation index-derived land surface phenology metrics. We also discuss future research directions on how to better use various phenological metrics to understand the responses of plants to global change.

Platelets are small, versatile blood cells that are critical for hemostasis/thrombosis. Local platelet accumulation is a known contributor to proinflammation in various disease states. However, the anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive potential of platelets has been poorly explored. Here, we uncovered, unexpectedly, desialylated platelets (dPLTs) down-regulated immune responses against both platelet-associated and -independent antigen challenges. Utilizing multispectral photoacoustic tomography, we tracked dPLT trafficking to gut vasculature and an exclusive Kupffer cell-mediated dPLT clearance in the liver, a process that we identified to be synergistically dependent on platelet glycoprotein Ibα and hepatic Ashwell–Morell receptor. Mechanistically, Kupffer cell clearance of dPLT potentiated a systemic immunosuppressive state with increased anti-inflammatory cytokines and circulating CD4+regulatory T cells, abolishable by Kupffer cell depletion. Last, in a clinically relevant model of hemophilia A, presensitization with dPLT attenuated anti-factor VIII antibody production after factor VIII ( infusion. As platelet desialylation commonly occurs in daily-aged and activated platelets, these findings open new avenues toward understanding immune homeostasis and potentiate the therapeutic potential of dPLT and engineered dPLT transfusions in controlling autoimmune and alloimmune diseases.

Construction cost estimation is a critical aspect of construction activities that requires in-depth attention. The cost estimation process, which relies on specifications and working drawings prepared by the project owner, should ensure efficient and accurate project execution with appropriate and measurable execution methods. However, in reality, as revealed in previous research, there are still weaknesses in considering nonconformances in specifications in selecting heavy equipment, determining optimal execution methods, and ensuring efficient workforce management, including work safety aspects. Therefore, it is important to choose an implementation method that suits the characteristics of the field to ensure that the resulting cost analysis is accurate and appropriate. In some cases, the Unit Price Analysis Method (AHSP), in some cases, still tends to be general in nature and has not fully taken into account the differences between the 2016 and 2022 AHSP, such as changes in the coefficients for labor, equipment and materials. The effect of this discrepancy is that the base unit price often does not reflect the actual situation at the project site, which can impact the accuracy of cost estimates. To overcome this challenge, more in-depth adjustments are needed in the AHSP method to ensure that construction cost estimates truly reflect actual field conditions. This step will enable the use of the AHSP method as a more relevant and accurate tool for predicting construction project costs, which will ultimately support more efficient and effective project management. Thus, industrial construction can maximize resource efficiency and reduce potential cost discrepancies in the field.

Babürnâme’deki Örneklerden Hareketle Türk-Moğol Kültüründe Yadacılık Geleneği
Authors: GÜLER Mehmet
Published: September 2023

The practice of yadačılıq involves manipulating weather elements such as rain, snow, and storms through specific rituals or stones. Throughout history, those who engaged in these practices have been bestowed titles like yatčı, yadačı, and cayčı, distinguishing them from individuals referred to as qam or shaman. The tradition of yadačılıq persisted among Turks and other Central Asian communities, spanning from ancient times to more recent centuries. Over this period, numerous sources have offered insights into this subject. One such illuminating source on these rituals and beliefs is the Bāburnāma, a memoir and diary-style account authored by Babur Shah, a notable figure from the 16th century. Within this work, Babur Shah documented his experiences, observations, and encounters during his rule. Significantly, the Bāburnāma includes explicit references to the terms yadačı and yadačılıq, underscoring the continuity of these beliefs within the societal fabric of the 16th century. The intent of our article is to emphasize the existence of yadačis and the beliefs encompassing yadačılıq across diverse Turkish and Mongolian communities, both in the past and the present, dispelling the notion that this practice is merely a legend.

Published: September 2023

The presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as a cause of acquired immunodeficiency remains a medical and social problem despite the success of antiretroviral therapy. Heat shock proteins (heat-shock proteins - HSP) are a family of proteins produced by cells in response to stressful conditions. The aim of the study was to determine the activity of heat shock proteins in the endometrium in the presence of HIV infection. Research groups were formed with 25 cases in each group: a group with HIV infection, a group with a combination of HIV infection and alcoholism, and a control group. An immunohistochemical study was conducted with monoclonal antibodies to HSP70 and HSP90. During the study, it was established that the presence of HIV infection and its combination with chronic alcoholism leads to the development of pathological processes in the endometrium (or in the endometrium) with signs of microcirculatory channel disturbances, sclerotic changes, and a tendency to endometrial atrophy. At the same time, there is a reliable activation of HSP70 and HSP90, which can be a sign of early non-plastic changes in the endometrium. Heat shock proteins are recognized by the immune system and cause further development of humoral and cellular immunity reactions. The level of heat shock proteins increases in the foci of inflammation, and they are also involved in the pathogenetic mechanisms of almost all diseases.The level of HSP70 expression increased from ([1.18±0.12] in the control group up to ([2.27±0.14] in the group of HIV infection and ([2.71±0.13] in the group of combination of chronic alcoholism and HIV infection. The level of HSP90 expression increased from ([0.73±0.09] in the control group up to ([2.13±0.13] in the group of combination of chronic alcoholism and HIV infection ([2.70±0.13] (p<0.05).

Pedagogy of the Fourth Wall
Authors:   Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Whitbeck Emily , Marblestone Kevin ,   Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Published: September 2023

Contemporary design pedagogy has failed to produce architects that can operate effectively within today’s time-based global crises. Embedded in (and dependent on) industries where ‘permanence’ is measured in 10-30 year warranties and sustainability is achieved by moving points around a spreadsheet, architecture has internalized many of these mis-conceptions about the nature of time. The type of architecture produced exists asynchronously to the vast temporal scale and complexity of the global climate crisis. The profession must educate a new generation of practitioners that engage a new critical eye on time and develop tools and methods for exploring its cyclical, recursive nature. This project, Pedagogy of the Fourth Wall, focuses on rethinking the true beginning of the design profession, the moment of inception, the first-year design studio. The project is structured as a fictional studio course founded on a working methodology focused on time and perception, rather than program and form. This new framework around time mandates the use of time-based media at the very beginning of the design process. Students work through video and sound to employ abstract structures of composition through the montage and manipulation of image over time. The studio generates new, productive forms of abstraction that directly engage the underlying temporal principles of environmental exchange and material entropy on multiple scales.
