Towards The Era Of Web 3.0 And The Marketing 3.0
Authors: Gatomatis Panayiotis , Nikolaos Bogonikolos Dr. , Chatzichristos Ioannis
Published: December 2022

In web-based marketing, the constant growth of the Internet has thrown up inconceivable opportunities and problems. Web 3.0, the most recent version of the web, is believed to be a technologically sophisticated medium that allows users to Read/Write/Execute and also allows robots to perform some of the thinking formerly reserved for human beings, but also as a game changer on the existing business models on which digital marketing is conducting nowadays. Online marketing with web 3.0 is also known as intuitive Web, which is a Semantic Web that allows web services to communicate with one another whilst web users are engaged and rewarded. Individualized and behavioral Web 3.0 will be the norm. Web 3.0 has generated new tools and technology for aiding web-based marketing in a short amount of time and in full transparency. To begin, this article addresses certain Web 3.0 concepts, development, and features. We explored the influence of web 3.0 on marketing in this study, as well as the many aspects that contribute to marketing uplift. Web 3.0 is a word used to describe the interaction that occurs as a result of the evolution of Web use and the transformation of the Web into a decentralized database. Smart web with intelligence analysis, personalization, interoperable web, virtualization (virtual 3D environments), blockchain technologies supporting smart contracts and multimedia are some of the most significant elements of these technologies. The broad adoption of Web 3.0 technologies in marketing settings has resulted in the creation of e-marketing 3.0. Web 3.0 is defined by facilitating cooperation and is powered by co-creation tools.

Return With Us Now... Featured Facsimile: Henry Worrall’s Spanish Retreat
Authors: Ferguson Robert
Published: December 2022

Ferguson examines Henry Worrall's Spanish Retreat. Its origins go back to London, specifically to two guitar prints published there in the mid-1820s. Though the earliest of these (c.1826) states that the piece was "arranged for guitar" by Alexander Sosson, this does not necessarily indicate that it was originally written for a different instrument, such as piano. "Arranged" could mean the piece was already in circulation among guitarists, or another guitarist created or popularized it, and Sosson merely reworked it (and wrote it down). Moreover, imitating other instruments, at which the guitar proved particularly adroit, constituted the essence and charm of this piece for its listeners. Without comparable timbral resources, the piano could capture this dimension only faintly--further pointing to the guitar as the intended medium.
The Life and Times of Josef Kaspar Mertz: New Biographical Insights
Authors: Stevens Andreas
Published: December 2022

Stevens examines the biographical information about the German Romantic-era guitarist Josef Kaspar Mertz.The first one, authored in Russian by Nicolai Makaroff, became the best known because it has been available in English. By today's standards, Makaroff's recollections of the guitar's situation in the middle of the nineteenth century seem deeply subjective. Ever on the lookout for active exponents of the art of guitar playing, he met Mertz twice in Vienna and witnessed several private performances by Mertz. For better or for worse, his less-than-enthusiastic assessment of Mertz's playing has been taken at face value for perhaps too long, especially since there have been no contradictory opinions on the matter.

The color portrait of Fernando Sor which appears on the cover of this issue, not previously published as far as we know, is a hand-colored version of a printed (b&w) copy of a painting—an original portrait (now lost) of Sor—by one Innocent Louis Goubeau. Before it disappeared it was copied, in the mid-1820s, by both a lithographer and an engraver, probably in response to public demand. The lithograph, according to the British Museum exemplar now online and well documented (No. 1893,0123.45), bears the attribution “Goubeau pinxit / Lith de Engelmann / Lithod par Bordes,” which means that the original painter was Goubeau, the preparer of the image on the lithographic stone was Joseph Bordes, and the craftsman who inked the stone and pulled the prints was Godefroy Engelmann. The engraved copy, slightly sharper than the lithographic one, has this attribution: “Drawn by L. Goubeau / Engraved by M.N. Bates.” Our cover illustration apparently began its existence as a paper print and was over-painted by hand (water-colored). It is a one-of-a-kind miniature version (the inner oval being 9.5 x 7.3 cm.– about 3.7 x 2.9 in.) of how the original portrait might have appeared. The present owner, Norbert Fischer, who kindly gave us permission to reproduce the portrait, is “a classical guitarist and guitar teacher who lives with his family in a little N. German village some 60 km. from Bremen.” He acquired it from an antiquarian dealer in response to an eBay posting of 2015. —Thomas Heck
Guitar Music in Collections: A New Web-based Index Is Launched
Authors: Colahan Ellwood
Published: December 2022

Is there any really good way to locate specific pieces of guitar music within published collections and anthologies? Might there be already a best way? Anyone who has taught or studied classical guitar is familiar with collections like Das Gitarrespiel or the Noad anthologies. But it is hard to remember with accuracy which pieces are in which of these editions or in dozens of others like them. Library and trade catalogs are not of much help. What is needed for this problem is in-depth indexing rather than traditional cataloging. These print indexes of song anthologies and collections have more recently been supplemented by a number of Web-based resources that are designed to satisfy the same need. The online format has the obvious advantage that it can be updated as often as its creators may wish, and if properly maintained, it will never go out of date. Indeed, we may have already come to the end of the era of print indexes to the ever-expanding world of music scores in collections.
Guitar Music Manuscripts in the Senate Library of Madrid: The Canción patriótica de la Alianza and Its Experimental Notation
Authors: Aleixo Ricardo
Published: December 2022

The modest collection of manuscripts of guitar music preserved in the Senate Library of Madrid seems to provide a representative sampling of the types of guitar repertoire circulating in Spain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Despite its small size, this corpus contains the most typical genres of the period— namely, two chamber music works for guitar with bowed string instruments, by Federico Moretti and Antonio Ximénez, a guitar duet by Pierre-Jean Porro, a solo guitar work by the mysterious señor D. G. G. M. A., and two songs with guitar accompaniment, one by Francisco Xavier Moreno and the other by the same D. G. G. M. A., titled Canción patriótica de la Alianza. Among other interesting aspects, what is truly remarkable about this song is that its author uses two G-clef staves in the introduction to write the music of a single guitar, a surprising notational device also used in another of his pieces.

Chronic Granulomatous Disease: An Unreported Mutation
Authors: Kiat Melody , Boisson-Dupuis Stéphanie , Casanova Jean-Laurent , Bustamante Jacinta , Gepte Maria Beatriz , Santos Jaime
Published: December 2022

Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is caused by defects in the phagocyte NADPH oxidase and occurs in approximately 1:200,000 births worldwide. It presents with early onset of severe recurrent bacterial and fungal infections. This is a case of a 9-year old male with severe, recurrent bacterial infections since 3 weeks of age. Initial Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction tests were normal but a DNA analysis revealed a previously unreported homozygous mutation in CYBB, p.S418Y. Dihydrorhodamine (DHR) test showed poor neutrophil oxidation consistent with X-linked CGD. Definitive microbiologic diagnosis is essential for directing therapy for recurrent bacterial and fungal infections. Treatment of infections should be aggressive. Lifelong bacterial and fungal prophylaxis is necessary for prolonged survival. We report a case of confirmed CGD with the previously unreported mutation.
A Retrospective Study on Sensitivity, Specificity, Negative Predictive Value, Positive Predictive Value of TB PCR Versus TB Culture in Diagnosing Tuberculosis in Filipino Children Aged 3 Months to 18 Years at a Tertiary Care Center
Authors: Ancheta Jesanel , Garcia Robert Dennis
Published: December 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to establish the accuracy of TB PCR versus TB culture and rifampicin resistance detection by PCR versus conventional susceptibility testing of body fluids in diagnosing tuberculosis in pediatric patients 3 months to 18 years with suspected tuberculous disease at a tertiary care center. Methods: This is a retrospective analytical study of patients seen between January 1, 2012 to May 31, 2017, with clinical and radiographic features suggestive of tuberculosis, who had diagnostic testing of body fluids for TB PCR and TB culture. Results: Among 159 patients suspected of TB, 46 (28%) tested positive by PCR, of which one was rifampicin-resistant. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive values of TB PCR, using TB culture as the gold standard were 90%, 91.6%, 78.3%, and 96.5% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive values of TB PCR for detecting rifampicin resistance, using TB culture and sensitivity as the gold standard, were 33%, 100%, 100%, and 95%, respectively. Overall, the accuracy of TB PCR in detecting TB disease is 91.2% and the accuracy of TB PCR in detecting rifampicin resistance is 95%. Conclusion: Findings in our study suggest that TB PCR play an important role in TB disease diagnosis, but clinical and radiological assessment continue to be essential in the diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis. The accuracy of TB PCR in detecting TB disease in children is 91.2% and the accuracy of TB PCR in detecting Rifampicin resistance is 95%.
Race to Three

Published: December 2022

We are on with our 3rd issue since we took on this task 3 years ago. The number three spells mystery and magic. In the Biblical tradition, it symbolized wholeness, completeness, perfection. In the Chinese culture, it spelled luck. It is the first number to which “everything” was ascribed. It is the number representing the whole – it has a beginning, middle, and an end. This is what this 3rd release is all about. There is no unifying theme to speak of, just a cacophony of medical literature drafted to perfection.
A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study on the Prevalence and Factors Associated with Seroprotection after Primary Series of Hepatitis B Vaccination
Authors: Lu Adrienne Michelle , Nolasco Maria Estela , Tan Marilou
Published: December 2022

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with seroprotection among children 3 months to 18 years old with primary Hepatitis B vaccination series. Methodology: This is a prospective cross-sectional study done among children 3 months to 18 years old with complete primary series of Hepatitis B vaccination. Demographic, social and clinical data were correlated with reactivity to antibody to Hepatitis B surface antigen (antiHBs) (>10 IU/L),total antibody to Hepatitis B core antigen (total anti-HBc) and Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) serologic tests. Results: Among 110 subjects from different age groups,52% had seroprotective anti-HBs levels, with the highest noted among infants (3 months-2 years) at 82%, followed by 41% from the childhood group (3-9 years) and 26% from adolescent group (10-18 years). Seventy-four percent of subjects with <5 years interval from vaccination were seroprotected, 26% in subjects after 5-10 years, and 38% at more than 10 years after vaccination with significant difference on multi-logistic regression (p value 0.000/0.020). None of the other factors including gender, geographic area, age at first dose, vaccination schedule, type and place of vaccination were significantly associated with seroprotection. Conclusion: Fifty-two percent of patients among different age groups were seroprotected. Seroprotection was significantly associated with the interval year after vaccination demonstrated at < 50% 5 years and beyond post-vaccination.
Relationship Between Immature Platelet Fraction and Platelet Count among Pediatric Patients with Dengue Fever: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Ong-Misa Maria Monette , Garcia Robert Dennis , Uy-Aragon Mercy Jeane , Arkoncel-Adapon Mary Ann
Published: December 2022

Background and Objectives: Immature platelet fraction (IPF) is a new hematologic parameter that reflects the rate of thrombopoiesis. It has been suggested to be a predictor of platelet recovery in patients with thrombocytopenia. This study aimed to determine the relationship between IPF and platelet count among pediatric patients with thrombocytopenia due to dengue fever. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study of 77 thrombocytopenic pediatric dengue fever patients. IPF was included in the daily complete blood count extraction. Baseline and daily IPF, platelet count, hematocrit, white blood cell count and presence of fever were recorded according to day of illness. The pattern of IPF in relation to the pattern of platelet count was analyzed. The proportion of patients showing platelet recovery at different time points was also determined. A receiver operating characteristic analysis was done to determine an IPF cut-off value predictive of platelet recovery within 24 hours. Results: The IPF increased as the platelet count decreased. The highest increase in IPF coincided with the trough of platelet count. Eighty -seven percent of the patients showed platelet recovery after the increasing trend of IPF, 87% after the peak value and 95% after the decreasing trend. An IPF value of more than 6.6% was found to be predictive of platelet recovery within 24 hours, with a sensitivity of 45% and specificity of 70%. Conclusion: There was an observed inverse relationship between IPF and platelet count but with a statistically weak correlation. The decreasing trend of IPF can be a possible good predictor of an increasing trend in platelet count. These findings suggest a possible role of IPF as an additional parameter to predict platelet recovery in pediatric dengue fever patients.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Renal Angina Index in Predicting Acute Kidney Injury in Pediatric Patients with Sepsis: A Philippine Tertiary Hospital Experience
Authors: Perez Marc Andrew , Anacleto Francisco
Published: December 2022

Background: The coexistence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality rates. Traditional diagnostic markers still pose variable limitations in early AKI prediction. The use of renal angina index (RAI) as a clinical predictive tool for AKI is an emerging concept. Objectives: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of RAI in predicting AKI in patients with sepsis Methodology: This is a five-year retrospective cohort study conducted at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH). Records of eligible patients with sepsis were reviewed. RAI was calculated based on the composite of risk factors and clinical evidence of injury on day 0 of admission stratifying subjects into two groups: RAI (-) and RAI (+) for those with scores ≥ 8. Prediction of AKI with the RAI was analyzed. Results: A total of 222 patients were enrolled. The RAI (+) group (score ≥ 8) consisted 95 patients (43%). AKI incidence rate was 40.5 % (90/222) and 87/90 patients (91.6%) were classified in the RAI (+) group. The use of RAI in predicting AKI has a sensitivity of 96.7%, specificity of 94.0%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 91.6%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 97.7%, positive likelihood ratio (LR) of 15.95, negative LR of 0.04 and area under the curve-receiver operating characteristic (AUC-ROC) of 0.953 (95% CI 0.92-0.98). Conclusions: RAI is a good screening tool in predicting sepsis-associated AKI among pediatric patients. It provides early recognition of AKI and is a practical method which can be used at bedside.

Authors: Crisostomo Maria Vinna , Alabado Karen Lee , Lacuesta-Gutierrez, Maricarr Pamela
Published: December 2022

We report a case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with a gradually enlarging verrucous plaque on the left knee for 3 years. Physical examination showed a solitary, slightly erythematous, scaly, verrucous plaque on the left knee measuring about 1.5 cm x 2 cm. Biopsy revealed granulomatous dermatitis consistent with cutaneous tuberculosis. A diagnosis of tuberculosis verrucosa cutis (TBVC) was made and anti-tuberculous therapy was initiated consisting of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2 months followed by rifampicin and isoniazid for 4 months. Upon completion of therapy, only a slightly atrophic scar remained, supporting our diagnosis. This report highlights TBVC must be considered in patients with chronic skin lesions in countries with high prevalence of tuberculosis.
Clinico-Epidemiologic Profile and with Multi Drug Resistant Gram-Negative Healthcare AssociatedOutcome of Pediatric Patients Infections at the Philippine General Hospital
Authors: Dela Cruz Leslie Anne , Ong-Lim Anna Lisa
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Multi Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO) are microorganisms that are resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents, and these have become significant pathogens to contend with in the treatment of Healthcare Associated Infections. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the clinico-epidemiologic profile and outcome of pediatric patients with healthcare-associated multi-drug resistant gram-negative infections, and its antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Methodology: This was a retrospective study done on pediatric patients with gram negative healthcare associated MDRO sepsis compared to non-MDRO sepsis admitted at the ICU and pediatric wards of a tertiary government hospital from July 2015 to June 2016. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the clinical characteristics of patients. Odds ratio and the corresponding 95% confidence interval from binary logistic regression was computed to determine significant predictors for the development of multi drug resistance. Outcome of patients with MDRO gram-negative infection was noted, as well as its antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Results: A total of 199 patients developed HAI, and 41% were identified to be gram negative MDR cases. Pediatric patients with healthcare associated infections due to MDR gram negative organisms had shorter hospital stay and a higher mortality rate of 78% compared to 41% among non MDR patients.The most commonly isolated gram negative organisms were Burkholderia cepacia, 38%; Klebsiella pneumoniae, 31%; and Acinetobacter baumanii, 18%; while the most common MDR gram negative isolates were Klebsiella pneumoniae, 65%; Acinetobacter aumanii, 22%; and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 7%. Significant predictors for MDRO were age (0-28 days old), ICU admission, intravascular catheterization and use of total parenteral nutrition. Conclusion: Profile of pediatric patients with healthcare-associated multidrug resistant gram-negative infections were neonates admitted in the ICU with a shorter hospital stay and a high mortality rate. The identified risk factors for developing Multi Drug Resistant Gram Negative sepsis were age of 0-28 days, admission to ICU, intravascular catheterization and parenteral nutrition. Patients with gram-negative MDR infections have a high mortality rate and isolates are susceptible mostly to Colistin.

Authors: Matos Marlise , Pinto Céli
Published: December 2022

Trata das proposições legislativas em relação à matéria eleitoral em tramitação nas Casas Legislativas brasileiras ao longo dos anos de 2020 e 2021. Vamos focar nosso olhar, especialmente, nas sugestões de mudanças referentes aos direitos de grupos minorizados brasileiros (e com foco mais preciso nos direitos das mulheres). O ensaio elenca as Propostas de Emenda à Constituição (PECs) e os Projetos de Lei (PLs) apresentados nas duas Casas do Congresso Nacional sobre o tema, apontando aquelas que envolvem avanços e as que têm claro caráter de retrocesso, expondo-as por meio de tabelas com dados sobre autores, partidos, datas e conteúdo delas na Câmara e no Senado. Conclui que há mudanças estruturais sendo propostas e reconhece que conquistas históricas podem estar severamente ameaçadas, tanto no que concerne aos 30% de presença de mulheres nas listas eleitorais quanto na garantia de recursos para a campanha (de mulheres e de negros e negras), conquista bastante recente. Além do mais, destaca que há um processo acelerado e pouco transparente de propostas de mudanças eleitorais ao longo do ano de 2021, sem que tenha ocorrido debate ou discussão mais ampla com a sociedade e, especialmente, com os principais grupos afetados pelas propostas
Highway Lighting Test Bed on INDOT Facility (Off-Roadway)
Authors: Hu Xiaoqiang , Bao Jieyi , Jiang Yi , Li Shuo
Published: December 2022

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), during 2016 there were 7,277,000 vehicle crashes nationally. Among them, approximately 70% happened during the daytime and around 30% of crashes occurred during the nighttime. There were 11,375 nighttime fatal crashes that account for about 48% of total fatal crashes (23,714). Given the fact that only 25%–33% of the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) occur at night, the above statistics indicate that the nighttime crash fatality rate is much higher and nighttime crashes are usually more severe compared to daytime crashes. Providing lighting on roadways is one of the proven safety countermeasures for preventing crashes and reducing fatalities. In particular, lighting at roadway intersections can reduce vehicle crashes by 10% to 26%. Currently, to conduct lighting field testing, INDOT is using several in-service highways, intersections, interchanges, and rest areas. These locations require traffic control and lane closures, which raises safety concerns and causing inconvenience to the public. In addition to the cost and safety concerns, during the evaluation period the new luminaires being tested actually functioned as lighting sources in place of the existing luminaires that were removed in order to install the new luminaires. This means that the new luminaries were used for roadway lighting at the test sites even before they were proven to meet the roadway lighting requirements. To eliminate traffic control and potential safety concerns, it was proposed to create test beds for field evaluating and to verify the performance of new lighting technologies and luminaires in a controlled, standard setting. Through this study, two lighting test bed facilities were designed and constructed. Illuminance values of installed luminaires were manually measured by a remotely controlled electric cart and drone. The measured illuminance values were analyzed and the analysis indicated that the efficiency of illuminance measurement can be significantly improved by automated methods. An illuminance data repository model was developed to be an effective tool that can greatly facilitate data input and storage process.

The relevance of the study lies in the consideration of transmission channels through which the influence of monetary policy carried out by the governments and central banks of the United States, Japan and Germany was realized. The purpose of the article is to consider the phenomenon of the monetary trap as a special case of an unforeseen macroeconomic reaction to the stabilization anti-crisis policy pursued by the state, which is designed to stimulate economic activity and contribute to the growth of aggregate output. The article identified the potential of economic theory (with an emphasis on the New Macroeconomic Consensus) to illuminate the current practice of state stabilization policy, taking into account new historical challenges, as well as modeling the impact of monetary instruments of stabilization policy on the potential for economic recovery of the United States, Japan and Germany. To achieve the goal of the study, scientific and special research methods were used, namely: methods of analysis, abstraction and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as a system-structural method; hypothetical-deductive method; idealization method; methods of economic and mathematical modeling. An analysis of the consequences of the state policy to counteract the downturn in the economic situation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic made it possible to periodize it and establish that the stabilization measures at the first stage were mainly of a fiscal nature, while at the second stage they were focused on monetary containment of the volatility of commodity prices. A regression express analysis of the relationship between monetary incentives and changes in GDP and inflation in the United States, Japan, and Germany made it possible to establish that the influence of monetary impulses on price stability manifests itself over a longer period of time and depends on the influence of many factors, including price fluctuations, changes in nominal wages, exchange rate dynamics and expectations of economic agents.

POEMS syndrome is a rare systemic disease that manifests with the following main symptoms: polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, paraproteinemia, skin changes. A clinical case of POEMS syndrome in a 42-year-old patient is presented. The diagnosis was verified after the appearance and increase of extraneural symptoms, such as severe edema, respiratory failure, endocrinopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy. Additional examinations of the patient revealed paraproteinemia which is typical for this disease. The patient had a course of specific therapy in the hematology department that caused a positive effect. Due to multisystem organ damage, there may be a variety of onsets of the disease, which makes correct diagnosis and prescription of appropriate therapy difficult.

The article presents a clinical case of the treatment of a 30-year-old patient with a newly diagnosed diaphragmatic Morgagni – Larrey hernia. Among diaphragmatic hernias, Morgagni – Larrey pathology occurs in 26 % of cases, mostly on the right side. The article includes data on the options for surgical approach in abdominomediastinal hernias. In the described clinical observation, the planned surgical intervention was performed through laparotomy access. The hernia content included the transverse colon and the greater omentum, as it was in most cases presented in the literature. We removed the hernial sac and repaired the defect using local tissues of the diaphragm. Taking into account the decrease in the quality of life in this pathology, as well as the risks of complications, it is advisable for such patients to perform surgical intervention in an elective manner. The issues of choosing a surgical approach, the method of diaphragm plasty and the advisability of excising the hernial sac remain unresolved.

Image reconstruction by projections is basically a mathematical problem. The speed and accuracy of the reconstruction mainly depend upon, (1) discretization scheme (2) solution technique. Solution by Algebraic Method (AM) is the most promising technique for manufacturing the low-cost (few detectors arrangement) X-ray CT set-up. Slow converging rate and huge memory requirement are the two major drawbacks of the AM algorithms. Projection coefficient calculations and their storages are major time and storage-consuming processes of the algebraic methods. Among all algebraic methods, the Multiplicative Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (MART) is more effective because it maximizes the entropy of the image space. The conventional MART algorithm uses square grids (SG) in the discretization process of the image reconstruction. In the present work, we employed a modified polar grid to cope with the shortcomings of the MART method. In this new discretization scheme, only the projection coefficients of the first view, need to be calculated. Projection coefficients for other views can be easily calculated by using the symmetries of the modified polar grid. This method significantly reduces the reconstruction time and storage requirement of the MART algorithm. In addition, we also presented the direct method of polar to square grid transformation for the visualization of the reconstructed images. We tested the proposed method to fan-beam geometry for 2D image reconstruction. Structural similarity index(SSIM) and L2 error are used for quality assessment of the reconstructed images.

The fourth industrial revolution has brought many benefits to the mechanical engineering world. Through data revolution, defect segmentation in complex XCT images can now be automated in a shorter time, while achieving more accurate results. Prior work[1] proves that a deep learning approach can extract pore from every voxel of a 3D XCT data, and calculate its porosity with a high accuracy. However, it was established that training a deep learning model with limited data can cause the model to overfit, or have inferior segmentation performance than models that are trained with a larger dataset. This is a common issue in all sorts of data-driven inspection. Oftentimes, obtaining raw data and annotating these raw data for machine learning inspection can take significant resources, shifting the focus away from the network design and training. We present XCTPore, an open source database of X-ray CT images, containing 2D slices and 3D volumetric data of X-ray CT scanned additively manufactured components, with varying porosity and image quality. This database is currently maintained by the Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre(ARTC) and is open to contributions from industry practitioners, and academics. The content of the database can be queried through our python code found in our GitHub link. This database also comes with an open-source implementation of unsupervised porosity labelling function in a bid to automatically label pores without the need for human intervention. This unsupervised labelling is done using STEGO, to aid developers to label the images, to explore novel approaches.
Condition Assessment of Boiler Water Wall Tubes using Robotics
Authors:   Russell NDE Systems Inc., Vajpayee Ankit
Published: December 2022

Boiler tube failures continues to be the primary cause for forced outages in boilers. To get the boiler back on line and reduce (eliminate) future forced outages due to tube failure, it is extremely important to determine and correct the failure root cause. Detecting and sizing flaws before they cause failures is of critical importance in boiler maintenance. Localized and general wall thinning due to corrosion & erosion in boiler water-wall tubing is a significant inspection concern for boiler operators.

There are at least four (4) other methods used for the inspection of Boiler Water walls. These methods are Spot Check UT, A-Scan UT, EMAT, and Scanning Thermograpy. Spot Check UT only gives thickness readings and gets very minimal coverage of the total surface area of the furnace water walls; the chances of finding I.D. flaw mechanisms using Spot Check UT are minimal at best. If Boiler Water walls have been sandblasted, A-Scan UT may be used to inspected larger areas of the furnace walls; in these cases, a steady flow of water is most often used as the couplant. The EMAT technique requires that any Boiler Water wall surfaces be sandblasted.

This paper will present a discussion on the deployment of robotic wall crawler using electromagnetic technique to inspect boiler water walls from outside of the tube together with the theoretical background of the technique which explains the quantitative nature of the inspection. Further, case studies will be presented for the technique that allows the extraction of tube wall thickness information from the inspection data.

This paper presents experimental and simulation studies of high frequency eddy current non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for inspection of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. It is well known that CFRP composite materials are widely used in industry as structural components, and products based on such materials are increasingly developed and introduced to market. In recent years, non-conventional eddy current method operating at high frequencies for NDT of composites begins to attract attention. It provides a non-contact, couplant-free option of inspection when compared with the other NDT methods currently used in industry. As eddy current relies on fibre fabrics in individual plies to form the current pathways, the eddy current paths in composite are unsurprisingly complex due to the structural features of composite laminates when compared with that in homogenous conducting metals for which conventional eddy current NDT is often used in industry. It will be noted that the knowledge is still limited so far about the eddy current distributions in composite laminates due to lack of effective theoretical and numerical models. This paper will focus on the development of a new numerical model that is suitable for use in simulations of high frequency eddy current inspection of fibre placements. An effective model is desirable for understanding the performance dependence of the eddy current testing method on the material properties, composite structural features, and other parameters involved. In this model, the fibre tow layout of individual plies is taken into consideration. The collection of the pickup signals by the sensor probe shows clear images of the fibre placement in different layers. The simulation results are compared with experimental results of fibre placement imaging. The model is useful for understanding the physical process for inspection of composites using high frequency eddy current methods, and for studying the influence of the controllable parameters involved.
