Енергоефективні режими сушіння колоїдних капілярно-пористих матеріалів
Authors: Petrova Zh. O.
Published: October 2018

Процеси конвективного сушіння відносяться до найбільших енергоємних промислових технологічних процесів. Затрати енергії на видалення вологи досягають 3000 – 5000 кДж/кг і більше, тому вирішення питання зменшення енергоспоживання при сушінні є актуальним науково-технічним завданням. Одним із шляхів вирішення даної проблеми є розробка енергоефективних режимів сушіння.

Аналітичний розрахунок процесу сушіння колоїдних капілярно-пористих матеріалів досить складний, оскільки необхідно знати ряд індивідуальних величин для даного продукту. В даній роботі досліджували процес конвективного сушіння композитного колоїдного капілярно-пористого матеріалу. Процес досліджується екс-периментально з використанням моносировини та композиції у певному співвідношенні матеріалів. Оскільки істотне збільшення енергетичних витрат на сушіння звичайно пов’язують з складністю видалення вологи з матеріалу, кінетика якого обумовлена рухливістю молекул води та енергією їх взаємодії з іншими молекулами, тому важливо було дослідити зміни питомої теплоти випаровування води з моносировини, композиції з них.

В процесі дослідження встановлені та узагальнені нові закономірності при сушінні композиційної сировини.

Визначена теплота випаровування моно та композиційної сировини, яка в композиції менша ніж в моносировині. Для організації економічного та енергетичного процесу сушіння органічної колоїдної капілярно-пористої сировини та підвищення якості сухого продукту найбільш доцільно створення композицій та використання ступеневих режимів енергопідведення із зниженням температури теплоносія із зменшенням вологовмісту матеріалу.

Розраховані інтенсивність та тривалість зневоднення сумішей.

Розрахована густина теплового потоку, яка витрачається на випаровування вологи в залежності від інтенсивності випаровування і вологовмісту матеріалу.

Досліджено залежність числа Ребіндера (як критерію оптимізації сушки) від вологовмісту матеріалу, що обґрунтовує ефективність запропонованих ступеневих режимів сушки.
The Role of the Nurse: A Comparison of the Canadian and Ghanaian Health Care Systems as Experienced by Undergraduate Nursing Students
Authors: Shalton Krista , Godin Shea-Lee , Genereux Katrina , Donato Emily
Published: October 2018

Undergraduate nursing students were placed for three weeks in three small communities in Ghana as part of an international cross-cultural nursing elective.  The main objectives of the placement were to learn about the country’s culture and health care system, and to participate in community nursing placements in both community clinic and school settings.  As nursing students participating in this cross-cultural experience, we had the opportunity to work in Ghana’s health care system, where we were able to learn about the nursing role. It became evident that the nursing values, scope of practice, roles and responsibilities had some similarities, but also demonstrated several differences compared to nursing in Canada. A literature review was performed to contrast the cultural differences compared to nursing practice in Canada. Literature was also applied to our personal experiences to facilitate our understanding of the importance of providing culturally sensitive care. Overall, this valuable cross-cultural experience influenced our personal growth, allowing us to thoughtfully integrate our experience through further reflection and review of literature after the course was completed.
Abandonment: Experiences of accessing emergency services during mental health crisis
Authors: Lovelace Amy Rene , Phelan Liam , Langer Rosanna , Ferguson Moira , Gagnon Lissa L
Published: October 2018

Purpose: Emergency departments (ED’s) often serve as the access point to health services for individuals living with mental health challenges, with mental health crisis (MHC) accounting for 15% of all presentations to ED’s in Canada. Consumers’ experiences of emergency mental health services have widely been reported as negative. This research aims to explore the experiences of individuals accessing the ED for MHC.

Method: A supra-analysis was conducted using data from four semi-structured interviews collected from a larger study exploring stigma, discrimination and resilience in people experiencing mental health challenges. Supra-analysis aims to explore an aspect of the data from a different theoretical perspective. Transcripts were selected based on a participant history of voluntarily accessing emergency services for MHC. Data analysis was completed using the process of thematic analysis which involved immersion in the data, the development and refinement of codes leading to themes.

Findings: A major theme of abandonment was identified in participant interviews with subthemes of; geographic, socioemotional and therapeutic abandonment. Participants reported that the locations of care, lack of social/emotional engagement and lack of health care providers’ (HCP) knowledge led to negative experiences attending ED’s. Participants also reported a lack of desire to access emergency services in the future.

Conclusion: Future research is vital to enhance the delivery of emergency services, to reduce the feelings of abandonment experienced by individuals accessing the ED for MHC.

Training and education must be provided to HCP’s staffing ED’s that focuses on providing high quality, appropriate emergency services to this vulnerable population.

A Faith Community Nursing Initiative
Authors: Donato Emily , Green Lindsay , Serwah Ivy , Sousa Reilly
Published: October 2018

Faith community nursing is introduced to students in third year of the BScN curriculum as one of the roles that nurses may have in community health. The plan to develop a faith community nursing placement was initiated when a local parish contacted the nursing professor to have student nurses assist with blood pressure screening and the organization of a health fair. This request created a unique opportunity to have three students placed with a nursing professor to address the health needs of the parish members. Partnerships with educational institutions have been found to enhance faith community health care, and provide learners such as nursing students with an opportunity to practice in a faith-based learning environment (Maitlen, Bockstahler, & Belcher, 2012; Otterness, Gehrke, & Sener, 2007). The main objectives of this initiative were to review the literature on faith community nursing, identify a model to guide the assessment and work that would occur within the setting, and to complete a needs assessment of the faith community.  The assessment of the faith community was guided by the socio-ecological model (Campbell et al., 2007) which further informed the planning and delivery of the most appropriate health promotion activities within this setting.

Higher Education Research from the Perspective of Pedagogy
Authors: Wang Jianhua
Published: October 2018

Since higher education research has emerged from pedagogy, many studies have long failed to place higher education within the education system. In a multidisciplinary perspective, higher education issues are more often seen as social issues shared by disciplines than purely educational issues. Due to the lack of pedagogical perspectives, higher education studies are not well-known, and higher education research has become a broad multidisciplinary field with no roots. Although at the organizational level, the current higher education research has made progress in the institutionalization of disciplines, higher education has also obtained disciplines in universities in China, However, at the level of disciplines, research on higher education must reflect or not. Re-examine the great value of education in higher education research, it is clear that the “higher education” pedagogy is an indispensable foundation for the maturity of higher education research or the realization of higher education.

Published: October 2018

After eight years of quiescence, Fernandina volcano experienced two short-lived eruptions, on 4-09-2017 and 16-06-2018. The eruptions were characterized by very short periods of unrest that started hours before the initiation of the eruptive activity. On the other hand, Sierra Negra volcano (Isabela Island) began a new eruptive period on 26-06-2018, after almost one year of persistent unrest characterized by an increase in the magnitude and number of seismic events and >5 m of uplift since its last eruption in 2005. The Sierra Negra and Fernandina eruptions were located in remote zones where access is extremely complex. Thus, satellite images complement the continuous monitoring data of the Instituto Geofísico with remote observations, allowing rapid response mapping to identify the areas affected by the lava flows. Finally, the aim of this Report is to encourage other scientists to investigate the behaviors of both pre-eruptive and eruptive periods registered during these eruptions.

Published: October 2018

The government in this case is the legislative and executive institutions are managers in the order of a State. The condusiveness of a State depends on the government's role in treating every citizen fairly. One of the concerns of the State is of course Religion. There are six Religions recognized as official Religion in Indonesia. Therefore, the adherents of a religion in Indonesia should be treated proportionally and fairly by the Government so that it can perform its religious duties.In this discussion the method used is descriptive analysis approach. The steps taken in the discussion of this theme are: determine the focus of research, determine the type and source of data then process and analyze it.The result of the discussion of this topic shows that the Law of the State of Indonesia has guaranteed the right and freedom of every citizen to religion according to his own belief. Therefore, it is appropriate that the people who sit in the legislature and the executive to always maintain the religious freedom of every citizen without looking at the ideology he embraces.There is still in this country discriminatory practices and injustices against the adherents of certain religions, it is necessary steps to provide justice together, including; political struggle for equality and capacity building and understanding of multiculturalism over democratic values. The first attempt was an advocacy of a number of state policies that were still considered unfair. Some legislation products that are less in harmony with the spirit of the 1945 Constitution and the development of the modern world are now being reviewed. While the second attempt is intended to strengthen the consciousness of the majority to further develop the values of equality, freedom, humanistic, homeland love and tolerance to diversity. If these noble things are successfully developed and implemented by all people it will be useful not only for the consolidation of democracy in this country, but also to strengthen nation and State.

Does Willpower Mindset Really Moderate the Ego-Depletion Effect? A Preregistered Replication of Job, Dweck, and Walton (2010)
Authors: Carruth Nicholas , Ramos Jairo , Miyake Akira
Published: October 2018

This article reports a preregistered study in which we attempted to replicate the results of an influential study on the ego-depletion effect reported by Job, Dweck, and Walton in 2010. The original Job et al. study (Study 1, N = 60) provided evidence that the ego-depletion effect—a performance decrease on a self-control task after performing another self-control task—occurs only for individuals who hold a belief that their willpower is limited. This moderation of the ego-depletion effect by one’s willpower mindset (limited vs. nonlimited) has been interpreted as evidence against a prevalent limited-resource account of self-control. Although this alternative account of the ego-depletion effect has become well-known, the statistical evidence of the original study was on shaky ground. We therefore conducted a preregistered replication of the original study with some methodological improvements. As in the original study, participants (N = 187) performed a self-control task (Stroop color-word interference task) after performing the control or depletion version of a letter cancelation task. Despite extensive analyses, we failed to replicate the original results: There was neither a significant main effect of ego depletion nor a significant moderation of this ego-depletion effect by individual differences in willpower mindset. Together with other recent failures to replicate the original moderation effect, our results cast doubts on the claim that an individual’s view of whether willpower is limited or not affects one’s susceptibility to the ego-depletion effect.
Decolonizers of the imaginary
Authors: Rupprecht Christoph David Dietfried , Kawai Ayako
Published: October 2018

The human radical imaginary, or the capacity to see in a thing what it is not (Castoriadis 1987), determines the possibilities we consider when we think about how the world should look like. Sustainability research pioneer Donna Meadows has thus called the power to transcend mind sets or paradigms out of which a system arises the most potent leverage point for interventions. One barrier to such interventions is the colonization of the imaginary by capitalism, the root cause of environmental destruction and addiction to economic growth. Latouche argues as part of the debate on degrowth that the colonized Western imaginary must thus be decolonized. In this paper, we ask how this might be achieved and propose (re)introducing human traditions of seeking knowledge that transcend established Western norms and conventions. Drawing upon concrete examples, we describe four types of decolonizers and how they might help decolonize Western imaginaries: 1) Future generations; 2) past generations; 3) non-humans, and 4) spiritual beings and concepts. We conclude by briefly outlining ways to invite these decolonizers of the imaginary individually and institutionally.

Published: October 2018

El síndrome de Jarcho-Levin es una rara entidad heterogénea caracterizada por dismorfia facial, extremidades de tamaño normal con cuello y tronco corto, múltiples anomalías vertebrales en todos los niveles de la columna vertebral y defectos costales. El síndrome se ha clasificado en 2 fenotipos clínicos principales, según la extensión y distribución de las anomalías esqueléticas, el patrón de herencia y el pronóstico. El diagnóstico ecográfica prenatal se caracteriza por la presencia de costillas desplegadas a partir de cuerpos vertebrales torácicos fusionados. Debido a la rareza de esta condición, existe un número limitado de informes en la literatura científica y muy pocos se diagnostican prenatalmente. Es un caso de síndrome de Jarcho-Levin en una mujer de 16 años con embarazo de 31 semanas y sin antecedentes patológicos prominentes. La ecografía reveló feto único con datos biométricos compatibles con 27 semanas. Se observó columna vertebral acortada con deformidad extrema y escoliosis moderada, canal medular ancho, segmentación de cuerpos vertebrales en las áreas torácicas y lumbares inferiores, aumento de la distancia intervertebral con tórax corto y estrecho, cuello corto hiperflexionado y occipucio que parecía fusionarse con las vértebras cervicales. Se realizó cesárea debido a sufrimiento fetal agudo, obteniendo recién nacido masculino. El examen físico mostró circunferencia cefálica normal, tórax corto, cuello corto y rígido, cifoescoliosis torácica con restricción del patrón respiratorio y abdomen abultado. No se observaron alteraciones faciales o craneales. Después de 4 días, el recién nacido muere debido a falla respiratoria aguda.

Published: October 2018

Finding solutions to the problems faced by the Ukrainian education system require an adequate organizing structure for education system, enabling for transition to the principle of life-long education. The best option for this is the distance learning systems (DLS), which are considered by leading Ukrainian universities as high-performance information technologies in modern education, envisaged by the National Informatization Program, with the goals of reforming higher education in Ukraine in the context of joining the European educational area. The experience of implementing DLS “Prometheus” and Moodle and the main directions of distance learning development at the National Academy of Statistics, Accounting and Audit (NASAA) are analyzed and summed up. The emphasis is made on the need to improve the skills of teachers with use of open distance courses and gradual preparation of students for the learning process in the new conditions. The structure of distance courses for different forms of education (full-time, part-time, and blended) is built. The forms of learning (face-to-face, the driver complementary, rotation model; flex model, etc.) are analyzed. The dynamic version of implementing blended learning models in NASAA using DLS “Prometheus” and Moodle is presented. It is concluded that the experience of NASAA shows that the blended form of distance learning based on Moodle platform is the most adequate to the requirements of Ukraine’s development within the framework of European education.

Published: October 2018

In the article the author determined the main directions of foreign economic activity of the country and was established that the main course for Ukraine is foreign trade and international investment activity. The author done analysis of the foreign trade balance of Ukraine for 2017 shows the passive balance of trade balance. The analyzed indicators of foreign trade balance show that in 2017 Ukraine economy was opened (0.93), i. e. it is risk-prone, import-dependent (46.8%), the share of exports in the total amount of the gross domestic product was 45.8%, the coefficient of coverage the export over import was 98%.

The calculated coefficient of the international intraspecific specialization of the country shows that Ukraine is import-dependent from the following groups of goods and services: works of art (–75,5%), polymer materials, plastics and articles (–75,0%), means of land transport, aircraft, floating means (–68.4%), optical and photographic equipment (-59.9%), state and government services (–99.5%), royalties (–83.3 %), financial services (–74.2%).

The author was determined and substantiated the factors influencing the tendencies of export development of Ukraine, which were the basis of correlation-regression analysis. The export links with all selected factors based on the pair correlation coefficients are analyzed. A high correlation was found between exports with imports (0.987), a rather close but inverse relationship with the US dollar (–0.887), a significant and direct correlation between export of FDI to Ukraine (0.693) and a noticeable but inverse relationship exports with GDP (–0.693) and consumer price index (–0.690).

During the analysis, the author built two regressive models of export dependence from import transactions and under the influence of the exchange rate. The author substantiated the effect of the fluctuation of the US dollar exchange rate on exports of goods and services, and predicted Ukraine’s exports in the short period.

Published: October 2018

The level of education of the adult population is an indicator of the development of the human potential of the state, in which reading serves as an invisible mechanism for multiplication of knowledge, expansion of the worldview, improvement of intellectual indicators. The successful development of the book business shows, first of all, the interest of the state in supporting the education of the nation. With the rapid development of scientific and technological progress, Internet technologies have become the undisputed leader in the field of leisure. XXI century is a period of internetization, which led to a decrease in the readability of print products among the population, and, consequently, to reduce its release both in units and in duplication. The problem is that books as intellectual agents gave way to television shows and computer games that do not carry any mental load on them. Taking into account the above, carrying out of statistical monitoring of book publishing is a necessary measure for the clarification of its current state, the formation of balance sheets in book markets and development in accordance with the requirements of time.

The world's leading publishers set their own trends in the distribution of a book product, but there are a number of factors that have a direct impact on the state of sales, both in Ukraine and in the world, because if at least one of them is not active or does not meet the declared standards – book publishing is doomed to inhibition.

The main problems of book publishing in Ukraine include: Lack of clear statistical information; Lack of financial resources; Passive regulatory framework of the industry.

Currently, there are only two networks of bookstores in Ukraine: Letter, owned by the powerful Russian publishing house “Eksmo”, and “E”. As of December 1, 2017, the literary centres of Ukraine on the issue of editions are: Kyiv – 5782 printed units; Kharkiv region – 4218 printed units; Lviv region – 1318 printed units.
The Formation of Internal Reporting by Responsibility Centers
Authors: Kvasha O. O. , Korobkina I. S. , Shekhovtsova D. D.
Published: October 2018

The article focuses on the aspects of the formation managerial internal reporting by the centers of responsibility. It was found out that the qualitative accounting and analytical support of enterprise management contributes to the development of a special informational system. Such a system should meet the requirements of management on the basis of the corresponding database and make the processing of data cheaper. It is substantiated that the achievement of the symbiotic relationship of management functions with the accounting process is possible on the basis of the application of a comprehensive goal approach, which is preceded by the separation of responsibility centers, the formation of the set of indicators and certain forms of internal reporting. The use of this approach during the organizing of managerial accounting at the enterprise makes it possible to cover by accounting system whole set of objects of management influence.

The set of indicators that are to be transferred from the primary accounting and the procedures necessary for their further processing and the formulation of the internal managerial reporting according to the choice of the model of the managerial accounting have been received. The managerial report on the implementation of the budget by the responsibility centers for catering business enterprises is proposed. The technique of conducting the primary accounting which ensures the formation of the composition indicators of cash flows from the center of responsibility is provided.

It is determined that a number of delivery received from other enterprises may not yet be paid during the operational internal reporting of the cash flow. The identification of the payments when they are paying in the next period is carried out on dates and numbers of business transactions. With this purpose the information transmission scheme for the identification of the payments for purchased products by catering business enterprises is proposed. It is also determined that the management’s current report is the Cash Flow Statement on Responsibility Centers. According to the report the executive management can evaluate the results of the work of the subdivisions and determine the direction of activities that generate the main cash receipts. The main improvement of the system of internal reporting is the provision of management needs, therefore the constraints and weaknesses of the reporting forms may change. Management reporting should allow the possibility of further analysis with a minimum of time, which is a sign of analyticity, draw conclusions and make economically sound management decisions on their basis.
Representing the semantics of abstract dialectical frameworks based on arguments and attacks
Authors: Dung Phan Minh , Thang Phan Minh
Published: October 2018

Abstract dialectical frameworks have been proposed as a generalization of the abstract argumentation frameworks. The semantics of abstract dialectical frameworks is defined by identifying different classes of models. In this paper, we show that the semantics of abstract dialectical frameworks could naturally be defined based on simple notions of arguments and attacks like in abstract argumentation. This insight allows us to adapt directly the semantical concepts in abstract argumentation to abstract dialectical frameworks that not only capture the standard semantics of abstract dialectical frameworks, but also suggest other new semantics based on the idea of “rejection as assumption” (raa) (similar to the concept of “negation as assumption” in assumption-based argumentation and logic programming) like the well-founded semantics or the raa-preferential semantics.

Small islands around the world encounter special challenges due to vulnerability to acute climates, human-induced activities and pollution. The challenges even become more intricate where the island is located in environmentally sensitive regions. In order to address the problems in coastal areas, Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) whose concept was born in 1992 during the Earth Summit of Rio de Janeiro, has been recommended by United Nations. This paper focuses on challenges ahead of ICZM in environmentally sensitive islands through Interaction-Stakeholder and Option Matrices. Kish Island is a beautiful small island located in Persian Gulf. With regard to environmental sensitivities and susceptibilities of the island, its ICZM plan requires special attention. The method utilized in this article combines the perception of stakeholders’ need and coastal issues with the effects of management interventions. The method developed for Kish’s ICZM plan can provide comprehensible tools for decision makers in order to find the sources of conflicts and problems. According to the results, most of the interactions belong to “coastal environment” and “tourism” and also many groups of primary stakeholders are involved by many changes. The results of Option Matrix imply that “environmental legislation and mandatory EIA for any project and any discharge” and also “allocation of some regions to national park” interact with various components of the matrix and many primary stakeholders engage. Finally, some of the obstacles are scrutinized in this study such as: environmental legislation, lack of local environmental standards, lack of enough incentive among primary and secondary stakeholders, etc.

Waste disposal site selection is complex and multifaceted decision making process. In this regard to find appropriate sites, there are different local, national and international standards. These standards emphasize on certain criteria and related on different environmental, economic, social and political considerations. Lack of a comprehensive, integrated and efficient waste disposal site selection approach for determination of the proper sites stems from different experts comments. Since every expert in such problems doesn’t have adequate knowledge of all aspects about the subject; their opinions are facing with uncertainty. This study aims to modeling uncertainty of waste disposal site selection based on Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST). The main contribution of this study is the reduction of uncertainty in the standard combination according to experts using DST. In this research three main standards including ‘Environment Protection Agency of Iran (EPAI)’, ‘Management and Planning Organization of Iran (MPOI)’ and ‘Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)’ standards are considered and then site selection performed for each standard independently. In order to combining these standards, opinions of 40 experts are attained through DST as an integration approach that is able to manage the uncertainty. These comments are examined by DST and gained results are depicted as waste disposal location. Finally, the achieved results are compared with the results of simple weighting method (average of the opinion experts). Results showed that standard weight in questioning, that does not follow the normal, gives a lot of uncertainty in analysis that DST significantly reduces its impact.

Different types of materials were used for dental prosthetics restoration, including feldspathic ceramics, glass ceramics, zirconia-based ceramics, alumina-based ceramics, resin-based materials, and Ceramco. The possibility pollution of this material with radioactive elements were investigated by Veronese et al. (2006). In this study, dose rate of 40K in Ceramco dental materials composition was determined by Fluka code. The dose levels for the 1 Bq activity of 40K naturally present in it was calculated as 0.032 nGy/Bq. The annual dose in teeth and head are 1.01 and 3.07 mGy/annual respectively resulted from 40K in Ceramco per one teeth filling. Although most of the measured values are below the recommended limits, results indicate the patients who show high 40K values may be due to pollution. Potassium in Ceramco may be received higher dose levels than annual dose limit. Therefore the pollution of Ceramco to 40K is important for mouth health.
The Street as the Edge: Street Landscape Design based on Social Studies

Published: October 2018

Today, the streets play a very important role as the most important element of citizens’ perceptions. Meanwhile, the urban edges will play an important role in the minds of citizens according to Kevin Lynch idea. Therefore, if the urban space simultaneously has the identity of street and edge, it becomes a very important element in the city. This element, more than mere street or urban edge, can help to strengthen citizens’ sense of belonging to the city. Such a personality space has a difference from street and edge, but at the same time, it is a set of characteristics of both. This new identity will have a unique meaning in the minds of citizens that it leads to pay attention and strength the identity in the direction of meaning to the city. Therefore, the subject of this article is the recognition and introduction of street landscape that is also the mind edge. This organic street is located in the historic city of Aran & Bidgol (a city near Kashan) in Iran country. Aran & Bidgol has been created from the combination of the two old towns “Aran” and “Bidgol”. In fact, the desired street is a two-sided edge. “Aran edge and Bidgol edge” have been gathered in a unique identity called Street. This street, on the one hand, in the mental aspect of the people of these two cities, separates “Aran” and “Bidgol”, and on the other hand, is the link between the two cities. That is, this street is a combination of two identities, Aran Identity and Bidgol Identity in addition to having an independent identity. And of course, with the special following characteristics of this street, there is less a similar street.

Background:

With 10.5 million people with dementia in Europe and $301 billion associated costs, governments face challenges organizing access to care.

Objective:

To examine the costs related to formal and informal care use and quality of life for people with dementia in eight European countries, and explore the association with unmet needs.

Methods:

Cross-sectional data from 451 persons with dementia and their informal caregivers of the Actifcare cohort study were obtained. Formal and informal care use was multiplied by country specific unit prices of services. Needs were measured using the CANE and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of the person with dementia (both self- and proxy-rated) and informal caregiver’s quality of life using EQ-5D-5L, ICECAP-O, DEMQOL-U, and CarerQol utility scores. The association between costs and country, European region, and unmet needs was assessed using multi-level linear regression.

Results:

Self-rated EQ-5D-5L utility score was higher than proxy-rated (0.84 and 0.71, respectively). Informal caregivers’ utility score was 0.84. Across eight countries annual mean costs of formal and informal care were approximately € 17,000. Unmet needs were not associated with annual costs of care, nor with proxy-rated HRQOL, but were associated with self-rated HRQOL.

Conclusion:

We found varying relationships between unmet needs and quality of life, and no association between unmet needs and care costs, although the results were sensitive to various factors. Future research should further investigate the relation between unmet needs, quality of life and costs to generate a better understanding of the effects of (un)timely access to care.
Constrained optimization of a meander line EMAT generating S0 mode Lamb waves with genetic algorithms
Authors: Wang Shen , Huang Songling , Wang Qing , Wang Zhe , Zhao Wei
Published: October 2018

In this work a multiphysics model of a meander line electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) to generate S0 mode Lamb waves in an aluminum plate is built and the structural parameters of the transducer are optimized based on the model. Three approaches to solve the amplitude of the in-plane displacement component at an observation point are explored and the single frequency approach is selected because it is the fastest. In the optimization, the objective function to minimize is the negative amplitude of the S0 mode waves, and the design variables are the width and height of the magnet and liftoff values of the magnet and the coil from the top surface of the plate. The liftoff values form a linear constraint of the optimization problem. A genetic algorithm (GA) program capable of handling the linear constraint efficiently is developed. The internal status of the GA program is tracked carefully to avoid unnecessary evaluations of the objective function. With 30 runs of the program, the optimal set of variables leads to the ratio of the width of the magnet to that of the coil of 115.85%.
