Application of Signal Processing Techniques in High Voltage Equipment Fault Detection Using Partial Discharge Signal
Authors:   , Dhandapani Ragavesh
Published: September 2024

Partial Discharge (PD) detection in High Voltage (HV) equipment is an essential technique for assessing the insulation condition in the power system apparatus. The presence of PD is one of the critical indications for the defect and deterioration of the insulating material. Effective signal processing techniques are required to acquire, analyse, and classify PD signals into a specific fault type. The PD measurement device is prone to be affected by various noise sources, which leads to misinterpretation of the PD signal. This research focuses on developing a suitable algorithm for denoising PD signals and proposes a novel feature extraction process for classifying PD signals. The signal decomposition-based denoising algorithms in various engineering disciplines have become popular, and such techniques are being applied to PD signals. A novel PD signal denoising using adaptive decomposition, optimized by entropy and statistical parameters is proposed. Furthermore, a novel entropy-driven PD signal classification method is proposed. Initially, the PD signal is decomposed using various adaptive decomposition methods to get Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). Then, IMFs are analysed using statistical or information theory measures such as Kurtosis, Mutual Information (MI) and Dispersion Entropy (DE). The IMFs are classified as noise, noise–dominant and signal IMFs, based on Kurtosis and MI values. The DE value of IMFs is used to select the regularisation parameter of Group-Sparse Total Variation (GSTV). The noise–dominant IMFs are subjected to the GSTV method, and the signal IMFs are added to the output vector to reconstruct the denoised output. The noisy IMFs are discarded for further processing. The proposed methods are applied under different input signal-noise ratios, lengths, and noise sources. The proposed denoising methods with the results and findings are presented and discussed, along with the performance metrics related to the filters. In addition, Tsallis entropy and a novel Generalized Gaussian Distribution – Refined Composite Multiscale Dispersion Entropy (GGD–RCMDE) based features are proposed for the time series signal. The suggested feature extraction methods are applied to the PD dataset to extract the features from various PD signals such as ‘corona’, ‘surface’ and ‘void’. A novel preprocessing method followed by the min-redundancy max-relevance (mRMR) feature selection method is applied to select sensitive features. A multiclass classifier model is trained using the most sensitive features to classify PD faults. The robust experimental analysis of the feature extraction method was carried out and reported. The performance metrics are computed using the results obtained through the experiments. The effectiveness of the proposed denoising and classification methods was presented with a suitable discussion and conclusion.

Nihilism in the Sahara: Exploring the Moresbys’ Physical and Psychological Itineraries in Paul Bowles’ The Sheltering Sky
Authors: El Bakal Mohamed , Amesnaou Mohamed
Published: September 2024

Paul Bowles's The Sheltering Sky is an existential narrative that explores both a physical and psychological journey into the North African Sahara desert and the human psyche. It portrays the intertwined itineraries of the protagonists, Port and Kit Moresby, as they traverse the desolate landscape and navigate their tumultuous inner worlds. The couple, joined by their friend Tunner, leaves Western civilization hoping to mend their fractured marriage. Their journey, however, turns into a nightmarish odyssey of alienation and despair. The desolate desert mirrors their psychological descent into nihilism, stripping them of their cultural identities and forcing them to confront their existential anxieties. Drawing on Sartre's existentialism, this paper delves into themes of nothingness and absurdity, exploring a harrowing yet profound journey of self-discovery.

Authors: Raharja Apriadi Budi , Firmansyah  , Nirbaya Yovi
Published: September 2024

Balikpapan City, one of the National Activity Centers, has advantages in terms of geostatistics. It is predicted that it will continue to develop into a big city, which is in line with the determination of the National Capital City location in Penajam Paser Utara. However, along with these developments, there are challenges in balancing space utilisation where protected areas are increasingly threatened, including the catchment function zone. Water catchment areas have one of the important functions as a place for rainwater to seep into the soil and subsequently become groundwater, so their existence has an important role in efforts to prevent the danger of flooding and land subsidence. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the potential of water catchment areas and their implications for developing Balikpapan City. The method combines historical literature research with analysis of the Geographic Information System (GIS) of Balikpapan City. The techniques used include multi-criteria analysis and analysis of the suitability of spatial pattern plan, the last stage of formulating spatial recommendations that need to be carried out in anticipating negative impacts due to future city development. In conclusion, it was concluded that Balikpapan City has 33% (16,950 ha) of the high water catchment potential area, divided into five typologies of suitability of water catchment potential, between very suitable and inappropriate. Based on the Regulation of the Mayor of Balikpapan Number 22 of 2021 concerning spatial pattern plan, 61% of the areas with High Water Infiltration Potential are designated areas with a protection function. Meanwhile, 39% of the other High Water Infiltration Potential areas are in regions with cultivation functions.

Carbon Capture on Ships and Effect on Required Freight Rate
Authors: Daidola John C.
Published: September 2024

The economics of ship operations are investigated when a carbon capture and storage system (CCS) is installed on the ship. Three CCS storage methods that have been considered are 1) Compressed and Refrigerated Liquid Storage, 2) Compressed Gas Storage at Ambient Temperature and 3) Compressed Fluid at Ambient Temperature. All these methods manifest themselves in the ship as requiring an allocation for weight, deck area, volume and power thereby affecting the ship’s flotation and stability. These in turn will reduce the cargo or payload which can be accommodated in the ship. Accordingly a measure of the CCS impact will be the additional cost per unit of cargo delivered. A common representation of this quantity is the required freight rate (RFR) which was first proposed in the 1960’s as a way to analyze the economic features of a particular ship and its service over its lifetime. It has proved to be a means of identifying the optimum vessel characteristics for design and construction, the speed at which it would most economically operate and the required revenue per unit weight of cargo to meet financial goals. The RFR analysis is utilized herein to determine the vessel profitability and fuel consumption at alternate operating speeds. Additionally, the impact of a feebate tax levy or subsidy are considered as well. It is applied herein to Handymax and Capesize bulk carriers and oil tankers, as well as a Post-Panamax containership.

Optimizing Ship Structural Integrity Management: Opportunistic Maintenance with Corrosion Prediction
Authors: Casares Joao , Vlahopoulos Nickolas
Published: September 2024

This paper presents a novel Opportunistic Maintenance Cost and Risk Optimization (OMCRO) framework, designed to optimize maintenance decisions. The framework integrates economic and reliability considerations, leveraging an opportunistic repair grouping process as a payoff for quantitative risk reduction. Specifically, it is applied in this work to address the structural integrity management of ships, considering probabilistic corrosion models. Through metaheuristic optimization, it seeks a good trade-off between operational risks and repair costs, providing clear guidance for stakeholders on what, when, and where to survey and repair, as well as understanding the associated costs and risks. Simulation results demonstrate the framework’s efficacy in aligning with industry standards while offering valuable insights for academia, engineers, surveyors, shipyards, Classification Societies, and asset managers involved in ship structural integrity management.
Evaluating Hydrofoil Resistance Components from RANS and Lifting-Line Fluid Simulations
Authors: Chernyshev Lev , Kabaliuk Natalia , Jermy Mark , Corkery Simon , Bernasconi Dan
Published: September 2024

Hydrofoils have become a popular design addition to different kinds of vessels, particularly yachts and race boats. Predicting hydrodynamic forces acting on hydrofoils remains challenging, due to a wide operating regime and complex hydrodynamical phenomena. In this paper we investigate methods of decomposing the total drag force of a hydrofoil from high-fidelity Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) and low-fidelity lifting line computational fluid dynamics simulations into its physical components. Namely, these are the wave-pattern, induced, and viscous drag components. These components were calculated using wake surveys in RANS, while a separation of downwash coefficients was used in the lifting line formulation. Reynolds numbers between 2.57x10^5 and 2.06x10^6 were simulated, which corresponded to chord-based Froude numbers between 0.5 and 4. We present various Froude number-dependent trends in these components which we observed from RANS. Lifting-line models were modified to account for free surface effects using a mirror image of the hydrofoil and benchmarked against RANS results to gauge their accuracy. Reasonable agreement was seen on the total drag coefficient, however there were discrepancies between drag components due to differences in solver fidelity. Two different versions of the free surface boundary condition were simulated—the wall condition and the biplane condition. Simulations with the biplane condition yielded consistently higher drag predictions than with the wall condition, and better matched the total drag from RANS.
Validation Methodology for Time-Domain Simulation of Maneuvering and Seakeeping
Authors: Quadvlieg Frans , Bandyk Piotr , Carette Nicolas , de Jong Pepijn
Published: September 2024

A time-domain ship simulation program is intended to model nonlinear motions, including combined maneuvering and seakeeping. The program is a reduced-order model capable of carrying out thousands of simulations so that it can be used to evaluate the probability of extreme events. The results of the thousands of calculations are used to quantify the capsize risk, for example. The challenge to validate the capsize risk is that an occurrence of capsizing is the result of a chain of (hydrodynamic) events, each of which needs validation. To validate prediction of rare events, we claim validation on many relevant subevents up to a satisfactory level. The program FREDYN is used in this paper, though the approach is valid for similar tools. Initially, FREDYN was meant to be used for naval monohulls: frigates and destroyers. Recently there has been a desire to extend the tool for other ship types as well. Extending the applicability of the tool also extends the more formal validation process, in addition to the verification. The distinction is that verification results in an objective comparison where pass/fail is possible. Validation evaluates the quality of the prediction for a given set of reference cases, usually model tests or full-scale measurements. The validation of the code therefore requires some subjective assessment of the results, which can obfuscate the process. The objective of this paper is to discuss some of these details. After various iterations in this validation methodology, this process is now automated. The validation framework can be repeated efficiently, allowing frequent use when developing or updating the underlying code or adding new validation data, such that the overall performance can be quantified.

Topics covered include battery internal characteristics, charging practices, overcharging, and the role of Battery Management Systems (BMS). Preventive measures like fault detection and containment are emphasized. Real case studies highlight short circuit risks and lessons learned, urging attention to short circuit capacity protection, fault detection, and system resilience in electrical ship design.
Adjoint Method for Tandem Composite T-foils
Authors: Ng Galen Wolfgang
Published: September 2024

The introduction of composite materials to the construction of high-performance surface craft in the past two decades has pushed the operating limits in appendage design. For vessels with any kind of lifting surface, composite hydrofoils can be hydroelastically tailored to be more hydrodynamically efficient in off-design conditions due to load-dependent, structural deformations, also known as 'passive shape adaptation'. The hydroelastician can also more effectively use material where needed, resulting in better structural efficiency. Traditional composite foil designs look at the appendage in isolation, neglecting any interaction between appendages or coupling between rigid body motion and the flexible appendage. As engineering design optimization problems become more complicated, the iterative design process becomes tedious. Derivatives of objectives with respect to design variables speed up design optimization, but this requires efficient differentiation of the source code of the program. The present study numerically differentiates an appendage analysis program using the adjoint method and implements a hydrodynamic interaction model for tandem foils through induced angle effects. Simplified physics models are used throughout for rapid analysis. Results indicate that foil interaction has a noticeable impact on the deformations and loads on the downstream foil. This work presents a first step toward flexible appendage design as it affects the overall performance of the vessel.

POSITIVE EMOTIONS AS THE MEANS OF EXPRESSING AND COMPREHENDING INTENTIONAL IMPLICITNESS
Authors: Manukyan Narine
Published: September 2024

In this paper, we study the expression of positive emotions by a speaker (or speakers) in dialogue and their influence on the nature, process, development, conclusion, and termination of speech.

Emotions are sensitive nuances underlying the core of speech that convey intentional and unintentional implicitness to the words, expressions, and sentences, concealing the real intentions and goals of the speakers.

By virtue of our emotions, our speech can become more balanced as well as extremely disbalanced. Emotions are also considered to be an inseparable part of our behavior, actions, and attitude. By virtue of controllable emotions, various means of concealing linguistic (subtext, allusion, ellipsis, ambiguity, etc.) and extralinguistic (gestures, mimics, face-expression, intonation, diction, etc.) intentional implicitness beyond the lines become possible.

In this paper, some manifestations of positive emotions are classified and substantiated with samples depending on the factual material in fiction. All types of emotions that have been studied in current observation are distributed into three main groups.

We also refer to the implementation of linguistic means expressed in emotional discourse.
Cybercrime and Strain Theory: An Examination of Online Crime and Gender
Authors: Parti Katalin , Dearden Thomas
Published: September 2024

Purpose: Historically, cybercrime has been seen as a near exclusively male activity. We were interested to learn whether the relationship between strain and crime holds for both males and females.
Methods: We utilized an online survey instrument to collect data from a national sample of individuals (n=2,121) representing the US population by age, gender, race and ethnicity. We asked offending related questions regarding various cybercrimes. In the current study, we use data from 390 individuals who reported a cybercrime activity within the past 12 months.
Results: We find strong support for prior strains correlating with both specific (e.g., illegal uploading) and general cyber-offending. We further examine whether gender interacts with strain. While general strain theory (GST) correlates with cyber-offending for both males and females, we did find a few important differences. Except for lack of trust in others and receiving unsatisfactory evaluation at school or work, there are different variables responsible for online offending for men and women. Parents’ divorcing, anonymity, and online video gaming increase cybercrime offending in women, whereas falling victim to a crime, breaking up with a significant other, and darkweb activity are correlated with cyber-offending for men.
Conclusion: Although GST functions differently by gender when it comes to engaging in cyber-offending, the theory is indeed gender-specific, as different strain variables are responsible for engaging in cyber-offending in women and men. Components of general strain responsible for cyber-offending need to be further studied concerning gender. According to our results, GST is gender-specific, and these variables need to be further studied.

This meta-analysis investigates the impact of negative emotions on the effectiveness of endometriosis treatment. Of the 1,245 articles identified, 32 studies (n=4,876 patients) met the inclusion criteria. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between negative emotions and treatment effectiveness (r = -0.38, 95% CI [-0.45, -0.31], p < 0.001). Subgroup analysis further demonstrated a stronger effect on medical treatments (r = -0.43) compared to surgical treatments (r = -0.29, p = 0.02). Additionally, negative emotions were most strongly correlated with pain intensity (r = -0.45), followed by quality of life (r = -0.39), medication adherence (r = -0.33), and patient satisfaction with treatment (r = -0.28, p = 0.02). The meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (n=8) indicated that psychological interventions could significantly enhance endometriosis treatment outcomes (SMD = 0.58, 95% CI [0.39, 0.77], p < 0.001), with cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) being the most effective intervention (SMD = 0.67). Furthermore, the study found that the average age of patients moderates the relationship between negative emotions and endometriosis treatment (β = -0.015, p = 0.03), specifically indicating that the strongest effects of negative emotions are observed in younger patients. Finally, mediation analysis identified that pain perception, medication adherence, and maladaptive coping mechanisms are key mechanisms in the relationship between negative emotions and treatment effectiveness. These findings extend previous research by As-Sanie et al. (2014) and Lagana et al. (2017) by quantifying the impact of negative emotions and validating the effectiveness of psychological interventions as a novel contribution. The researchers advocate for a biopsychosocial approach in endometriosis management to facilitate routine screening for psychological issues and recommend the integration of holistic interventions combining medical and psychological support into standard endometriosis care.
