Published: April 2017

Knowing the ill effects of dependence upon conventional resources for generation of energy, the world is already making an effort to harness energy from renewable energy sources. However, the use of conventional resources is not fully eliminated from daily lives of people as the renewable energy sources are limited due to their intermittent nature. The paper presents a unique technique of Demand Side Management (DSM) for a domestic consumer whose house is equipped with on-grid solar PV panel system. DSM is the management of energy needs according to its availability. The paper deals with designing of an automated switch which is an adapter and can be inserted into standard 13amp socket. The adapter is equipped with a sensor that transmits data to it. The smart solar switch can detect surplus power generated by the PV system and it controls non-priority loads in the house depending upon the amount of surplus power. The designed switch provides an automatic, fast, easy to install and safe option for customers who want to increase their use of solar energy. Its performance was tested in a lab setup as well as in real time scenario in a home.

A comparative assessment of different alternatives to repower transmission corridors for the future supergrid
Authors: M. Borau-Rumbao  , P. Cruz-Romero  , A. de-la-Villa-Jaén
Published: April 2017

In order to allow the integration of the maximum amount of renewable energy in the European network, it is necessary to think about different solutions that meet the technical requirements at the same time that are compatible with the investment shortage. One option could be the development of a supergrid based on the uprating of the existing transmission system. In this paper, three different alternatives are proposed. The first two options require the installation of an upper module, being the difference of both options in the transmission technology: HVAC or HVDC. The third option consists in mixing both technologies, making use of the existing double circuit towers. At the end, a comparison between the three alternatives is shown.

Authors: G. Malagon-Carvajal  , J. Bello-Pena  , G. Ordonez-Plata  , C. Duarte
Published: April 2017

The amount of home appliances based on Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) systems has increased over the last years. Thus, the harmonic analysis of these loads is useful for the assessment of current distortion in low voltage distribution systems. However, an assessment considering the diversity and attenuation effects represents a challenge on harmonic modeling. This paper proposes a method (T2FDM) to transform SMPS Time Domain Models (TDM) into Frequency Domain Mod els (FDM) in order to estimate the input current waveforms when the amplitude, phase angle and distortion of the supply voltage varies (e.g., voltage regulation) around some operating point. The T2FDM provides the Admittance matrix, which is suitable to assess the impact of household loads with lower computational cost. The method is based on the use of Polar plots Fingerprints computed from TDMs and not from a large set of measurements. The results from T2FDM, FDM and TDM are compared against laboratory measurements via the computation of error performance metrics. The study shows that the methodology is appropriate to compute accurate and efficient FDMs from a TDM and a small set of measurements.

Published: April 2017

The renewable energies together with other technologies in low CO2 emissions and the efficiency must be the base of the most sustainable new energetic system. Currently the logistics industry has a large number of vehicles (forklifts, horizontal order pickers, automated guided vehicles AGVs, tow vehicles, captive fleets applied to logistic...) intended to transport goods inside the plant. A problem associated with these logistic vehicles (electric or combustion type) is the charging time and balancing time in the batteries. Solution to the problem approached would be a system that requires a power charging times relatively short (similar to filling in the combustion system) and at the same time that have zero emissions (do not forget that they are operating in a closed environment). Typically, automated guided vehicles and forklifts are operated with lead acid batteries. The replacement of the traction battery with active hybrid power supply provide advantages as longer operating time, no recharging batteries, sizing of the fuel cell can be reduced and energy recovery during braking. Thus, energy management of an Active Hybrid Power System based on Li+ batteries, ultracapacitors and PEM fuel cells, is presented in this paper. Original lead-acid battery can be easily replaced by this new system implemented for industrial vehicles.

Quantifying harmonic contribution of customer installations to the voltage distortion in the network is still one of the main challenges of utilities with respect to power quality, particularly when integrating large number of renewable energy sources. This paper discusses different aspect of evaluating the low-order harmonic emission of a 100 kW photovoltaic (PV) installation consisting of 16 single-phase inverters. Based on field measurements of one week the harmonic currents of the installation are analyzed with respect to different operating conditions. The measured harmonic currents are compared with emission values provided by the manufacturer as well as emission limits specified in standards. Finally, different methods for the determination of the contribution of the PV installation to the voltage distortion in the network are compared.
ALGORITHM OF USING HURWITZ CONDITIONS TO STUDY STABILITY OF STEADY STATES OF CONTINUOUS FERMENTATION PROCESSES WITH NONLINEAR KINETICS
Authors: Borodkin Aleksey Georgievich , Gordeeva Elena Lvovna , Gordeeva Yuliya Lvovna , Komissarov Yuriy Alekseevich
Published: April 2017

The authors of the article produce the algorithm to evaluate the stability of the steady states for microbiological synthesis using mathematical models for kinetics based on the unstructured approach. The object under study is a continuous biotechnological process aiming to obtain a target product, in addition to biomass. The estimation of stability is performed using Hurwitz matrix. In this process the use of raw materials containing components for additional producing of the primary substrate are possible. The algorithm includes five steps: formulation of the mathematical model that takes into account biological and technological limits; definition of steady states (one or several) for which it is necessary to evaluate conditions of stability and to calculate process parameters for the adopted steady states resulted from solving a system of nonlinear algebraic equations of the mathematical model; formulation of the equations of the first approximation (the system of first-order linear differential equations with constant coefficients) and evaluation of the coefficients corresponding to the adopted steady states; formation of Hurwitz matrix and calculation of its items; calculation of necessary and sufficient conditions for stability using Hurwitz matrix. Two methods of calculating Hurwitz matrix have been shown. The first method is implemented by transforming the system of four differential equations of the first approximation into one fourth-order ordinary differential equation. In the course of transformation there were determined calculated ratios for coefficients of the matrix. In the second method the coefficients are calculated by solving vector equation for the system of first approximation with the introduction of eigen values. The algorithm has been used for evaluating steady states of microbiological synthesis for lactic acid production from raw materials containing the component reproducing the main substrate. The estimation has been carried out for two steady states, one of which is optimal. For numerical values of the constants (from the literature) both steady states were stable.
ESTIMATING DISPERSION OF INPUT FACTOR ERROR IN THE POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONAL MODEL IN THE PRESENCE OF HOMOSCEDASTICITY
Authors: Denisov Vladimir Ivanovich , Timofeeva Anastasiia Yurievna
Published: April 2017

The functional error-in-variable models don’t fit within standard regression formulation for the reason that input factors are unknown determinate variables which in practice have random errors. Usually, estimation of such models is performed using additional information: about input factor error variance (adjusted least squares estimator, developed specifically for estimating the polynomial dependencies) or the relation of the factor error variances (total least squares estimator). Their values are typically given by a priori assumptions. The paper attempts to weaken the model assumptions, namely to eliminate the need to set the input factor error dispersion due to the possibility of its estimation on the same data, for which the non-linear model is recovered, i.e. without additional information. This possibility occurs when the measurement errors are homogeneous. Then, if the estimates of unobservable input factor values are close to the true, homoscedasticity of errors should be detected, which is broken as soon as the input factor in the nonlinear model contains errors. In this paper it is shown analytically for polynomial models. Thus, in the proposed algorithm, such an estimate of the dispersion of the input factor error is selected, which minimizes test statistic of heteroskedasticity detection. In the computational experiments the algorithm outputs were compared by different criteria to test the hypothesis of homogeneity of error variance. Besides, the approximation accuracy was compared based on found estimates and using a usual least squares estimator. It was found that the developed algorithm provides a significant advantage for the residual sum of squares and thus can be recommended for use in practice.
ALGORITHM OF SOLVING THE PROBLEMS OF THE BINARY SQUARE PROGRAMMING BY THE METHOD OF PENALTY FUNCTIONS
Authors: Popov Georgiy Aleksandrovich
Published: April 2017

In this paper the author analyses generalization of the classical quadratic programming problem, when along with linear constraints quadratic constraints are allowed. The author consider the case when variables can take only binary values 0 or 1. Such problems are important when choice of the optimal structures of systems covers a large number of variants, and the choice or refusal to select individual variants is equivalent to values 1 or 0 of the corresponding binary variables. There is described the procedure of reducing the indicated problem to the fourth-degree polynomial programming problem on the basis of the penalty method, when all terms are no greater than in the second power, except one having a fourth power. The solution of the obtained optimization problem is reduced to solving a system of equations containing only binary variables. The author proposes a heuristic recursive algorithm for solving the resulting system of equations, and variants of constructing the initial version of the solution. The parameters used in the proposed method are described. In the process of reduction, there are used the classical Cardano formulas for the roots of a cubic equation, for the practical finding of which the relations are obtained and the calculation procedure is described. The algorithm given in this paper can also be used to solve many problems of discrete mathematics.

Authors: Demina Raisa Yurevna
Published: April 2017

In the context of rapid expansion of means of computation, computer files are increasingly used as objects of binary classification. Binary classification of files plays a specific role in the anti-virus heuristic static analysis. Classification process consists of two stages: training and recognition. At the training stage a training set of objects is formed. The selection is important to be carried out not randomly, but in a targeted manner, taking into account a variety of objects. As introduction of the additional procedure of formation of the training set will lead to the increase in total training hours, it is necessary to consider all features of the software implementation, so that this stage would last the least time possible. The article presents the technique of formation of the training set and describes the main nuances needed to reduce the time of calculations. There has been determined the algorithm of advanced binary search designed to form the sorted sequence of unique elements. There is considered the main feature (a method of data storage) which can influence the time of algorithm execution. The article gives an example of a code realizing the function of advanced binary search in the high level language C++. The research results allow attempting program realization of the offered approaches for their further implementation into anti-virus systems.

To unify decision-making procedures, there is offered a general format of typical patterns of decision-making situations, including the following sections: type of non-standard situation; territorial-and-spatial characteristics of non-standard situation; description of non-standard situation; passport data of the sources providing information about non-standard situation; specific parameters and characteristics of non-standard situation; registering andnon-standard situation changes over time; statistical data on each non-standard situation. The author gave a complete disclosure and detailed analysis of each section and offered a general algorithm for the decision-making process within GLONASS system for delivering logistics services, which should be placed in the control center of the transportation company providing freight services. According to the analysis of the algorithm, there has been formed a list of information technologies advisable to use in GLONASS system for providing services.
Measuring News Sentiment

Published: April 2017

This paper demonstrates state-of-the-art text sentiment analysis tools while developing a new time-series measure of economic sentiment derived from economic and financial newspaper articles from January 1980 to April 2015. We compare the predictive accuracy of a large set of sentiment analysis models using a sample of articles that have been rated by humans on a positivity/negativity scale. The results highlight the gains from combining existing lexicons and from accounting for negation. We also generate our own sentiment-scoring model, which includes a new lexicon built specifically to capture the sentiment in economic news articles. This model is shown to have better predictive accuracy than existing, “off-the-shelf”, models. Lastly, we provide two applications to the economic research on sentiment. First, we show that daily news sentiment is predictive of movements of survey-based measures of consumer sentiment. Second, motivated by Barsky and Sims (2012), we estimate the impulse responses of macroeconomic variables to sentiment shocks, finding that positive sentiment shocks increase consumption, output, and interest rates and dampen inflation.

Published: April 2017

The trilemma of international finance explains why interest rates in countries that fix their exchange rates and allow unfettered cross-border capital flows are largely outside the monetary authority’s control. Using historical panel-data since 1870 and using the trilemma mechanism to construct an external instrument for exogenous monetary policy fluctuations, we show that monetary interventions have very different causal impacts, and hence implied inflation-output trade-offs, according to whether: (1) the economy is operating above or below potential; (2) inflation is low, thereby bringing nominal rates closer to the zero lower bound; and (3) there is a credit boom in mortgage markets. We use several adjustments to account for potential spillover effects including a novel control function approach. The results have important implications for monetary policy.

The Voices of Gender Reconstructing History in Doris Lessing’s The Cleft. This essay analyses Doris Lessing’s vision upon history as a postmodernist story written from a masculine and from a feminine perspective according to the narrators’ specific gender. It shows that the voices of gender lay the groundwork for subjective, gender-biased discourses on the history of gender relations, on the evolution of the male-female relationships in time. The capacity of gender to influence the protagonists’ vision upon history as well as the development of their cognitive and linguistic abilities will be focused on in this essay.

В статье рассмотрена  историческая ретроспектива использования фактора «срединного региона» в инициировании и реализации крупных государственных программ по освоению новых территорий, индустриализации страны, научно-образовательному, культурному, инфраструктурному и производственному ее развитию. Обосновывается идея признать за  срединными регионами миссионерский статус «зачинателей» модернизации экономики  с тем, чтобы его инновационные импульсы (если хотите – «искры»!) возбуждали на модернизационные действия (возгорание дремлющего желания) периферийные и окраинные регионы. Рассмотрены возможности реализации этой идеи, роль федерального центра и его позиции в ее поддержке на всех стадиях модернизации.

Authors: Sampén-Díaz María Nery , Aguilar-Ramos María Carmen , Tójar-Hurtado Juan Carlos
Published: April 2017

La presente investigación sobre maltrato escolar realizada en Perú, aplicando un enfoque de investigación mixto (cualitativo-cuantitativo), evalúa un programa de prevención basado en la competencia social e interpersonal. El procedimiento incluye un diseño cuasi-experimental que se desarrolló en dos fases: 1) análisis y detección de la situación de maltrato y 2) diseño, aplicación y evaluación del programa. Participaron 176 estudiantes de tres instituciones educativas de Chiclayo, Perú. Las técnicas de recogida de datos fueron cuestionarios, observación participante y fichas de evaluación. Los resultados indican que el programa contribuyó a potenciar aprendizajes enmarcados dentro de la competencia social. Tras la aplicación del programa, los estudiantes mejoraron en actitudes de convivencia con sus iguales, diálogo, expresión de sentimientos, comprensión y empatía con quien sufre, así como en amistad y solidaridad en situaciones de maltrato escolar, lo que pone de manifiesto la importancia de potenciar el aprendizaje de la competencia social.

Authors: Angelini María Laura , García-Carbonell Amparo , Martínez-Alzamora Nieves
Published: April 2017

El artículo trabajo presenta un estudio cuantitativo discreto mediante un estudio de correlación entre la simulación telemática y el progreso en destrezas lingüísticas en inglés. Persigue dos objetivos: comprobar si la simulación telemática constituye una herramienta eficaz en la adquisición de la lengua inglesa y contribuir a la investigación que parte desde la práctica en el aula de lenguas para fines específicos. El estudio se realizó con una población de 50 estudiantes de la carrera de Ingeniería en Telecomunicación de la Universitat Politècnica de València. Se han estimado los coeficientes de correlación entre las variables utilidad, nivel pre-tratamiento, progreso en destrezas, factores que influyen en el progreso, contribución de las partes de la simulación telemática y progreso en capacidades y actitud, y se han determinado los intervalos de confianza al 95% por el método bootstrap. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que existe una fuerte correlación entre la simulación telemática y el progreso en destrezas lingüísticas como también entre la simulación telemática y el progreso en habilidades transversales o profesionales.
Nuevos modelos tecnopedagógicos. Competencia digital de los alumnos universitarios
Authors: Castellanos Sánchez Almudena , Sánchez Romero Cristina , Calderero Hernández José Fernando
Published: April 2017

Este artículo muestra los resultados conseguidos mediante una investigación de carácter cuantitativo, realizada con el objetivo de conocer el perfil competencial en materia tecnológica de 301 estudiantes que ingresan por primera vez en el Grado universitario de Magisterio de Primaria. Se utilizó un cuestionario digital constituido por 29 preguntas; los resultados demuestran el predominio de alumnos mayores de 30 años, de sexo femenino, que disponen de ordenador con conexión a Internet, y cuyo medio favorito para interactuar es el teléfono, navegan a diario y emplean el correo electrónico, manejan de manera básica las tecnologías, sobre todo el paquete de ofimática, y no están familiarizados con el uso de herramientas actuales, como los blogs o marcadores sociales. Se concluye que estos alumnos no comparten los rasgos que se esperan de un nativo digital: producir, difundir y consumir cultura a través de Internet.
