Nickel-Imidazolium Low Transition Temperature Mixtures with Lewis-Acidic Character
Authors: Martos Mario , Pastor Isidro M.
Published: August 2023

Low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs) are a new generation of solvents that have found extensive application in organic synthesis. The interactions between the components often generate highly activated, catalytically active species, thus opening the possibility of using LTTMs as catalysts, rather than solvents. In this work, we introduce a nickel-based imidazolium LTTM, study its thermal behavior and explore its catalytic activity in the solvent-free allylation of heterocycles with allylic alcohols. This system is effective in this reaction, affording the corresponding products in excellent yield without the need for additional purifications, thus resulting in a very environmentally friendly protocol.

Published: August 2023

Proso millet has been proposed as an effective anti-diabetic food thanks to the combined action of polyphenols and starch. This study aimed to characterize the chemical composition of twenty-five accessions, in order to enhance this cereal as an alternative to available starch for food applications or to propose new food ingredients with health benefits. Proso millet contained a high percentage of starch, reaching values of 58.51%. The amylose content showed high variability, with values ranging from 1.36 to 42.70%, and significantly higher values were recorded for the white accessions than for the colored ones. High-resistant starch content (13.41–26.07%) was also found. The HPLC-MS analysis showed the same phenolic pattern in all the samples. Cinnamic acids are the most abundant compounds and significant differences in their total content were found (0.69 to 1.35 mg/g DW), while flavonoids were only detected in trace amounts. Statistical results showed significantly higher antiradical activity in the colored accessions than in the white ones.
Bader’s Topological Bond Path Does Not Necessarily Indicate Stabilizing Interaction—Proof Studies Based on the Ng@[3n]cyclophane Endohedral Complexes
Authors: Jabłoński Mirosław
Published: August 2023

According to Bader’s quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), the simultaneous presence of a bond path and the corresponding bond critical point between any two atoms is both a necessary and sufficient condition for the atoms to be bonded to one another. In principle, this means that this pair of atoms should make a stabilizing contribution to the molecular system. However, the multitude of so-called counterintuitive bond paths strongly suggests that this statement is not necessarily true. Particularly ‘troublesome’ are endohedral complexes, in which encapsulation-enforced proximity between the trapped guest (e.g., an atom) and the host’s cage system usually ‘produces’ many counterintuitive bond paths. In the author’s opinion, the best evidence to demonstrate the repulsive nature of the intra-cage guest⋯host interaction is the use of some trapping systems containing small escape channels and then showing that the initially trapped entity spontaneously escapes outside the host’s cage during geometry optimization of the initially built guest@host endohedral complex. For this purpose, a group of 24 Ng@[3n]cyclophane (3≤n≤6) endohedral complexes is used. As a result, arguments are presented showing that Bader’s topological bond path does not necessarily indicate a stabilizing interaction.

Published: August 2023

In the field of ocean energy detection, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) offer significant advantages in terms of manpower, resource, and energy efficiency. However, the unpredictable nature of the ocean environment, particularly the real-time changes in ocean currents, poses navigational risks for AUVs. Therefore, effective path planning in dynamic environments is crucial for AUVs to perform specific tasks. This paper addresses the static path planning problem and proposes a model called the noise net double DQN network with prioritized experience replay (N-DDQNP). The N-DDQNP model combines a noise network and a prioritized experience replay mechanism to address the limited exploration and slow convergence speed issues of the DQN algorithm, which are caused by the greedy strategy and uniform sampling mechanism. The proposed approach involves constructing a double DQN network with a priority experience replay and an exploration mechanism using the noise network. Second, a compound reward function is formulated to take into account ocean current, distance, and safety factors, ensuring prompt feedback during the training process. Regarding the ocean current, the reward function is designed based on the angle between the current direction and the AUV’s heading direction, considering its impact on the AUV’s speed. As for the distance factor, the reward is determined by the Euclidean distance between the current position and the target point. Furthermore, the safety factor considers whether the AUV may collide with obstacles. By incorporating these three factors, the compound reward function is established. To evaluate the performance of the N-DDQNP model, experiments were conducted using real ocean data in various complex ocean environments. The results demonstrate that the path planning time of the N-DDQNP model outperforms other algorithms in different ocean current scenarios and obstacle environments. Furthermore, a user console-AUV connection has been established using spice cloud desktop technology. The cloud desktop architecture enables intuitive observation of the AUV’s navigation posture and the surrounding marine environment, facilitating safer and more efficient underwater exploration and marine resource detection tasks.
Multi-Damage Detection in Composite Space Structures via Deep Learning
Authors: Angeletti Federica , Gasbarri Paolo , Panella Massimo , Rosato Antonello
Published: August 2023

The diagnostics of environmentally induced damages in composite structures plays a critical role for ensuring the operational safety of space platforms. Recently, spacecraft have been equipped with lightweight and very large substructures, such as antennas and solar panels, to meet the performance demands of modern payloads and scientific instruments. Due to their large surface, these components are more susceptible to impacts from orbital debris compared to other satellite locations. However, the detection of debris-induced damages still proves challenging in large structures due to minimal alterations in the spacecraft global dynamics and calls for advanced structural health monitoring solutions. To address this issue, a data-driven methodology using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks is applied here to the case of damaged solar arrays. Finite element models of the solar panels are used to reproduce damage locations, which are selected based on the most critical risk areas in the structures. The modal parameters of the healthy and damaged arrays are extracted to build the governing equations of the flexible spacecraft. Standard attitude manoeuvres are simulated to generate two datasets, one including local accelerations and the other consisting of piezoelectric voltages, both measured in specific locations of the structure. The LSTM architecture is then trained by associating each sensed time series with the corresponding damage label. The performance of the deep learning approach is assessed, and a comparison is presented between the accuracy of the two distinct sets of sensors: accelerometers and piezoelectric patches. In both cases, the framework proved effective in promptly identifying the location of damaged elements within limited measured time samples.

Published: August 2023

Visual object tracking is a fundamental task in computer vision that requires estimating the position and scale of a target object in a video sequence. However, scale variation is a difficult challenge that affects the performance and robustness of many trackers, especially those based on the discriminative correlation filter (DCF). Existing scale estimation methods based on multi-scale features are computationally expensive and degrade the real-time performance of the DCF-based tracker, especially in scenarios with restricted computing power. In this paper, we propose a practical and efficient solution that can handle scale changes without using multi-scale features and can be combined with any DCF-based tracker as a plug-in module. We use color name (CN) features and a salient feature to reduce the target appearance model’s dimensionality. We then estimate the target scale based on a Gaussian distribution model and introduce global and local scale consistency assumptions to restore the target’s scale. We fuse the tracking results with the DCF-based tracker to obtain the new position and scale of the target. We evaluate our method on the benchmark dataset Temple Color 128 and compare it with some popular trackers. Our method achieves competitive accuracy and robustness while significantly reducing the computational cost.

Design and Implementation of an Atrial Fibrillation Detection Algorithm on the ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontroller
Authors: Żyliński Marek , Nassibi Amir , Mandic Danilo P.
Published: August 2023

At present, a medium-level microcontroller is capable of performing edge computing and can handle the computation of neural network kernel functions. This makes it possible to implement a complete end-to-end solution incorporating signal acquisition, digital signal processing, and machine learning for the classification of cardiac arrhythmias on a small wearable device. In this work, we describe the design and implementation of several classifiers for atrial fibrillation detection on a general-purpose ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller. We used the CMSIS-DSP library, which supports Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine classifiers, with different kernel functions. We also developed Python scripts to automatically transfer the Python model (trained in Scikit-learn) to the C environment. To train and evaluate the models, we used part of the data from the PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology Challenge 2020 and performed simple classification of atrial fibrillation based on heart-rate irregularity. The performance of the classifiers was tested on a general-purpose ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller (STM32WB55RG). Our study reveals that among the tested classifiers, the SVM classifier with RBF kernel function achieves the highest accuracy of 96.9%, sensitivity of 98.4%, and specificity of 95.8%. The execution time of this classifier was 720 μs per recording. We also discuss the advantages of moving computing tasks to edge devices, including increased power efficiency of the system, improved patient data privacy and security, and reduced overall system operation costs. In addition, we highlight a problem with false-positive detection and unclear significance of device-detected atrial fibrillation.

Published: August 2023

Gestures have been used for nonverbal communication for a long time, but human–computer interaction (HCI) via gestures is becoming more common in the modern era. To obtain a greater recognition rate, the traditional interface comprises various devices, such as gloves, physical controllers, and markers. This study provides a new markerless technique for obtaining gestures without the need for any barriers or pricey hardware. In this paper, dynamic gestures are first converted into frames. The noise is removed, and intensity is adjusted for feature extraction. The hand gesture is first detected through the images, and the skeleton is computed through mathematical computations. From the skeleton, the features are extracted; these features include joint color cloud, neural gas, and directional active model. After that, the features are optimized, and a selective feature set is passed through the classifier recurrent neural network (RNN) to obtain the classification results with higher accuracy. The proposed model is experimentally assessed and trained over three datasets: HaGRI, Egogesture, and Jester. The experimental results for the three datasets provided improved results based on classification, and the proposed system achieved an accuracy of 92.57% over HaGRI, 91.86% over Egogesture, and 91.57% over the Jester dataset, respectively. Also, to check the model liability, the proposed method was tested on the WLASL dataset, attaining 90.43% accuracy. This paper also includes a comparison with other-state-of-the art methods to compare our model with the standard methods of recognition. Our model presented a higher accuracy rate with a markerless approach to save money and time for classifying the gestures for better interaction.
Data Augmentation of X-ray Images for Automatic Cargo Inspection of Nuclear Items
Authors: Jang Haneol , Lee Chansuh , Ko Hansol , Lim KyungTae
Published: August 2023

As part of establishing a management system to prevent the illegal transfer of nuclear items, automatic nuclear item detection technology is required during customs clearance. However, it is challenging to acquire X-ray images of major nuclear items (e.g., nuclear fuel and gas centrifuges) loaded in cargo with which to train a cargo inspection model. In this work, we propose a new means of data augmentation to alleviate the lack of X-ray training data. The proposed augmentation method generates synthetic X-ray images for the training of semantic segmentation models combining the X-ray images of nuclear items and X-ray cargo background images. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed data augmentation technique, we trained representative semantic segmentation models and performed extensive experiments to assess its quantitative and qualitative performance capabilities. Our findings show that multiple item insertions to respond to actual X-ray cargo inspection situations and the resulting occlusion expressions significantly affect the performance of the segmentation models. We believe that this augmentation research will enhance automatic cargo inspections to prevent the illegal transfer of nuclear items at airports and ports.

Published: August 2023

Modern technological advancements have opened avenues for innovative low-energy sources in construction, with electric field energy harvesting (EFEH) from overhead power lines serving as a prime candidate for empowering intelligent monitoring sensors and vital communication networks. This study delves into this concept, presenting a physical model of an energy harvester device. The prototype was meticulously designed, simulated, constructed, and tested, to validate its foundational mathematical model, with implications for future prototyping endeavors. The findings illustrate the potential of harnessing ample power from this device when deployed on medium-voltage (MV) overhead power lines, facilitating the monitoring of electric and meteorological parameters and their seamless communication through the Internet of Things (IoT) network. The study focused on the medium voltage applications of the harvester. Two dielectric materials were tested in the present experiments: air and polyurethane. The measurement results exhibited satisfactory alignment, particularly with the air dielectric. Nevertheless, deviations arose when employing polyurethane rubber as the dielectric, due to impurities and defects within the material. The feasibility of generating the requisite 0.84 mW output power to drive process electronics, sensors, and IoT communications was established. The novelty of this work rests in its comprehensive approach, cementing the theoretical concept through rigorous experimentation, and emphasizing its application in enhancing the efficacy of overhead power line monitoring.

Published: August 2023

Network security is paramount in today’s digital landscape, where cyberthreats continue to evolve and pose significant risks. We propose a DPDK-based scanner based on a study on advanced port scanning techniques to improve network visibility and security. The traditional port scanning methods suffer from speed, accuracy, and efficiency limitations, hindering effective threat detection and mitigation. In this paper, we develop and implement advanced techniques such as protocol-specific probes and evasive scan techniques to enhance the visibility and security of networks. We also evaluate network scanning performance and scalability using programmable hardware, including smart NICs and DPDK-based frameworks, along with in-network processing, data parallelization, and hardware acceleration. Additionally, we leverage application-level protocol parsing to accelerate network discovery and mapping, analyzing protocol-specific information. In our experimental evaluation, our proposed DPDK-based scanner demonstrated a significant improvement in target scanning speed, achieving a 2× speedup compared to other scanners in a target scanning environment. Furthermore, our scanner achieved a high accuracy rate of 99.5% in identifying open ports. Notably, our solution also exhibited a lower CPU and memory utilization, with an approximately 40% reduction compared to alternative scanners. These results highlight the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed scanning techniques in enhancing network visibility and security. The outcomes of this research contribute to the field by providing insights and innovations to improve network security, identify vulnerabilities, and optimize network performance.

Published: August 2023

A large number of massive repair machines are urgently necessary for a post-disaster rescue. These machines also need to be operated by professionals, and the demands require the participation of different industries in the whole society since they cannot be met via the national emergency resource storage system. Therefore, the support of extensive emergency resources from different industries across the entire society is needed in the rescue process, that is, social emergency resource sharing. To achieve this sharing, an emergency resource scheduling model should have the ability to allocate resources from the whole society. However, traditional emergency scheduling models have not considered the suppliers’ willingness to take part in the scheduling activities and their abilities to supply the resources. To solve the above issues, this paper designs a scheduling model for social emergency resource sharing based on an emergency contribution index (SSERS). The emergency contribution index (ECI) can be used to find the enterprises that not only have the ability to provide efficient emergency resources on time but also have the willingness to participate in emergency rescue. The results show that our model effectively optimizes the basic models to some extent and achieves social emergency resource sharing.

The exploration of north-east fields of the city of Aix-en-Provence due to wideranging works at the hospital, brought to light a whole area from the urban periphery of the antic city. The researches provided an opportunity to excavate, for the first time, the road leading to the north of the territory. It borders, by the east, agricultural lands in which a lot of water control devices take turns. They aim for collect groundwater for irrigation or are intended for canalize irregular but powerful flows caused by violent rainstorms. The road borders also a burial area which was assumed for a while. It echoes the funeral unit excavated on its other side, in the 1950’ s. The information collected help to shed light on the topography and the territory’s occupation methods of this area between the middle of the Ist century and the beginning of the IIIrd century.

Located along a meander of the Drôme river, the site of Condamine has been known since the nineteenth century to contain the remains of a villa, including a mosaic which was removed in 1974. Since then, new opportunities to document the site, through aerial photography and subsequent pedestrian surveys conducted by the Museum of Die and Diois in June 2009, identified a large tri-portico Roman sanctuary, whose plan, characteristic of those throughout the Mediterranean, echoes in particular that of La Bâtie-Montsaléon (Mons Seleucus) (Leveau, Segard 2002). Five miles downstream from Die (Colonia Dea Augusta Vocontiorum), this monumental sanctuary (80 x 60 m) is located on the edge of the via Vocontia, a road connecting the Rhone to Italy by way of the valleys of the Drôme, and Durance rivers. Archaeological testing has identified that the substantial masonry foundations of this sanctuary cut through nearly 1,50 m of stratigraphy, including occupations separated by demolition layers derived from earlier daub buildings. These late-Republican occupation levels, whose sediments are littered with faunal remains, fragments of ceramics, as well as a relatively dense concentration of small hearths, are associated with metal artefacts found elsewhere at the site : included amongst these are the upper portions of two handles of simpulae representing the heads of a wolf and a duck. Two pits with ritual use, dated to late-Republican period, were also discovered during recent archaeological recording of a series of trenches related to the updating of the city’s sanitation network (Teyssonneyre et al. 2014). Like other indegenous sanctuaries which continue to be used during the Roman period in the south-eastern quarter of Gaul (Glanum, Nîmes, Nages …), and based on our observations, we advance the seductive hypothesis that this “ Laténien complex” was already used as a sacred area during the 2nd-1st centuries BC, and therefore predating the more substantial 1st-2nd century AD roman sanctuary.

The Russian aggression against Ukraine and its historical accompaniment (which is used for propaganda) made the question of the answer relevant. The purpose of the article is to analyze the fundamental principles for the formation of the latest historical policy in the context of the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war. To implement this task, general scientific and special historical research methods were used (content analysis, prognostic method, comparative, typological, and systemic methods. The results considered the development of historical policy in Ukraine until 2022 and the main aspects of the formation of the current situation of this field and its future prospects. It was determined that at the state level, the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory forms the policy of memory. Young Ukrainian historical policy, however, has always been under the pressure of Russian influence, which directed a part of society against the decommunization and de-Sovietization of the historical past. In the future, it is important to review the existence of former Soviet institutions and their socio-cultural activities. An important stage is the official registration of decolonization processes at the legislative level. The conclusions draw attention to the importance of not only contemporary events getting into Ukrainian historical politics.

Published: August 2023

This paper attempts to explain what manipulation means and how it differs from other linguistic and manipulative technologies. The article deals with a number of issues related to the definition of manipulation since both in modern language and in specialized literature the concept of manipulation is used in many meanings. The purpose of the article is to eliminate the ambiguity surrounding the concept of language manipulation. We put forward the hypothesis that manipulation is an illegitimate linguistic process justified by the structure of human consciousness and the mechanisms of social life. The discourse analysis, descriptive and contextual methods made possible the linguistic analysis of fragments of political speeches of famous American politicians. As a result, the linguistic markers for deciphering the manipulative discourse strategy are identified, and the discourse structure of a political manipulative speech is described. The main types of strategies for exercising manipulative influence are considered on the examples of fragments of political speeches and slogans of American politicians Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Barack Obama. The author reveals the physical and cultural concepts of manipulation and analyzes the linguistic forms that can underlie the manipulation of words.
Transformation of the concept of "power" as a basic cultural value in the media discourse of modern times in metagraphic representation

Published: August 2023

The relevance is due to the fact that new geopolitical realities cause the transformation of basic concepts, which include the concept of "power", which has an internal conflict of content, where there is power as self-possession and power as the management of others. At the same time, the concept of "power" itself is built in various linguistic and philosophical coordinate systems. The research is based on an ethnic-psycholinguistic scientific paradigm, within which the concept of "power" is analyzed from the point of view of structure and semantics as a separate element of linguistic consciousness, actively represented in the speech activity of representatives of various linguistic cultures (Kazakh, Russian, Anglo-American, Chinese). The appeal to this concept is predetermined by the acuteness of the experience of the problem of power itself as a constantly evolving socio-political institution. The aim of the study is to model the concept of "power" in the modern linguistic consciousness of modern times with the establishment of its structural and content specificity. The complexity of the claimed topic is predetermined by the initial ambiguity of power as a social phenomenon, which includes a binary of oppositions: "I" individual and "We" collective, the ability to control oneself and the ability to control others, legitimate power and illegitimate power, ethical power due to respect and authority and the power of oppression and pressure due to fear. The metagraph of the complex socio-political basic value "power" perfectly illustrates the representation of this complex concept, demonstrating qualitative transformations in the structure of the meaning of this concept at different levels of lexico-semantic, neurasthenic and symbolic-semiological hierarchy.

El origen causal de la imposibilidad según Enrique de Gante
Authors: Martínez Ruiz Carlos
Published: August 2023

Traducción crítica de las dos cuestiones quodlibetales dedicadas por Enrique de Gante al origen causal de la imposibilidad, precedida de un estudio introductorio que analiza ambas cuestiones en el marco general de su ontología relacional. En la primera (VI.3), Enrique concluye que la imposibilidad de algo proviene ex parte rei; mientras que en la segunda (VIII.3), concluye que la imposibilidad de algo proviene ex parte dei. El estudio de ambas cuestiones muestra, por una parte, la continuidad y la dependencia de la segunda cuestión respecto de la primera y, por otra, la debilidad de la distinción propuesta por Enrique entre la constitución formal de la res y su posibilidad objetiva, así como la originalidad y el valor de la noción de nada (purum nihil) que logra precisar en ellas.

The food sold in the market contains many unhealthy additives, such as preservatives, artificial colourings, and sweeteners. Consuming healthy snacks can provide numerous health benefits to students. Healthy snacks made from natural ingredients without harmful additives can provide adequate nutritional intake, improve energy levels, and enhance concentration during the study. The educational goal was to enhance the understanding of food additives and healthy snacks among the students of SMK 2 Muhammadiyah Jakarta. The implementation method of community engagement includes identifying issues related to unhealthy food, conducting a pre-test to assess initial knowledge, providing education and training to students, conducting a post-test to measure knowledge improvement, and evaluating and analysing data to enhance future programs. The pre-test was conducted before the activities to measure the knowledge, behaviour, or skills of the students regarding healthy food and food additives. The post-test was conducted after the completion of activities to measure the increase in students’ knowledge, behaviour, or skills after receiving education and training. Community engagement activities in SMK 2 Muhammadiyah can enhance student awareness of the importance of choosing healthy snacks and avoiding harmful additives.

В данном клиническом наблюдении приведен пример ламеллярного ихтиоза. Отличительный симптом этого вида ихтиоза – рождение ребенка в коллодийной пленке, напоминающей пластик. Спустя несколько недель после родов эта пленка постепенно разрушается и отслаивается, а у ребенка проявляется один из двух типов ихтиоза: ламеллярный или ихтиозиформная эритродермия. Этот процесс опасен тем, что также увеличивает риск заражения другими инфекциями, обезвоживания, нестабильности температуры тела. В связи с этим этот клинический случай еще раз насторожит практических врачей и освежит теоретические и практические знания, касающиеся ламмелярного ихтиоза. Полностью вылечиться от ихтиоза невозможно, но можно значительно улучшить качество жизни.

In this clinical observation is given an example of lamellar ichthyosis A distinctive symptom of this type of ichthyosis is the birth of a child in a collodion film resembling plastic. A few weeks after delivery, this film gradually breaks down and peels off, and the child shows one of two types of ichthyosis: lamellar or ichthyosiform erythroderma. This process is dangerous because it also increases the risk of infection with other infections, dehydration, instability of body temperature. In this regard, this clinical case once again alarms practitioners and refreshes theoretical and practical knowledge concerning "Lamellar ichthyosis". It is impossible to completely recover from ichthyosis, but it is possible to significantly improve the quality of life.

The implementation of flexible pavement work on the East Riau Crossroads Business Entity Government Cooperation (BEGC) project, which has an active road status, already has a hazard control document. One form of the hazard control document is the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) document. From the results of the analysis of existing JSA documents, hazards and their controls have been identified. To determine the level of compliance in implementing hazard control recommendations in the field, it is necessary to observe the Job Safety Observation (JSO) method, which is a method of observing work to improve the quality of work safety implementation. Based on the results of an evaluation of the implementation of JSA on the BEGC project on the East Riau crossroads using the JSO method, especially in the Trial AC-WWC (wearing-ccourse) work, it can be concluded that of the 32 forms of JSA control carried out in the field, according to the results of the JSO carried out at STA 18+300–18+900, only 20 forms of control (62.5%) were found, and also three forms of hazard control whose form of implementation in the field cannot be ascertained.

The volume of work and materials in construction is one of the important aspects that can affect the budget of a construction as well as the procurement of materials. Small mistakes and the lack of accuracy of an estimator and quantity surveyor can cause cost overruns in the budget of a construction so that a method is needed to minimize the human error. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one method that can be used to accurately represent materials and construction volumes where modeling utilizes digital modeling to support the Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) process. Revit is a software that implements the BIM system. The advantages of Revit are that apart from having a variety of families and items to support 3D modelling, Revit can do material take-off up to a layer, making it possible to do quantity take off with materials that have many layers. Revit can also detect clash detection which can detect collisions between fields before construction begins, which is very helpful in the construction process.
