Published: September 2020

In this work we discuss the effect of infiltration of different antiresonant fibers with low-refractive-index liquids, such as water and ethanol, on their optical properties. The fibers with single- and double-ring capillaries have been designed to show broad transmission bands in visible and near infrared range as it is required for optofluidics, in particular spectrophotometric applications. We show experimentally that their transmission windows shift toward shorter wavelengths and only modestly reduce their width. The transmission bands are located in the wavelength ranges of 533-670 nm and 707-925 nm, for the fibers when infiltrated with water. The two types of analyzed antiresonant fibers infiltrated with the liquids show similar light guidance properties when they are straight, but significantly lower bending loss can be achieved for the double-ring than for the single-ring antiresonant fiber. For this reason, the double-ring antiresonant fibers are more suitable as a compact solution for optofluidic applications, although transmission windows are reduced due to broader resonance peaks.

Dynamic distortion in resonant galvanometric optical scanners
Authors: Akondi Vyas , Kowalski Bartlomiej , Burns Stephen A. , Dubra Alfredo
Published: September 2020

High-speed optical systems are revolutionizing biomedical imaging in microscopy, DNA sequencing, and flow cytometry, as well as numerous other applications, including data storage, display technologies, printing, and autonomous vehicles. These systems often achieve the necessary imaging or sensing speed through the use of resonant galvanometric optical scanners. Here, we show that the optical performance of these devices suffers due to the dynamic mirror distortion that arises from the variation in torque with angular displacement. In one of two scanners tested, these distortions result in a variation of signal-to-noise (Strehl) ratio by an order of magnitude across the field of view, degrading transverse resolution by more than a factor of 2. This mirror distortion could be mitigated through the use of stiffer materials, such as beryllium or silicon carbide, at the expense of surface roughness, as these cannot be polished to the same degree of smoothness as common optical glasses. The repeatability of the dynamic distortion indicates that computational and optical corrective methods are also possible.
Super-resolution processing using luminance dispersion in local area
Authors: Mizukami Yuka , Matsuda Yuki , Bao Yue
Published: September 2020

Based on super-resolution processing, reconstruction refers to the technique of transforming several low-resolution images into a high-resolution image as a general tendency. The fractal super-resolution method is the most effective technique for obtaining a high-resolution image from a single low-resolution image. This technology performs expansion by partitioning the original image into block groups in the local region, which are called range blocks, and block groups in the global region, which are called domain blocks. Further, it replaces a range block with the domain block that resembles it the most. In this study, blocks containing image edges are subjected to fractal super-resolution processing using luminance variance, and areas with gradual changes in density are expanded by interpolation.

Domestic Work and the Gig Economy in South Africa: Old wine in new bottles?
Authors: Hunt Abigail , Samman Emma
Published: September 2020

Based on innovative, mixed-methods research, this article examines the entry of on-demand platform models into the domestic work sector in South Africa. This sector has long been characterised by high levels of informality, precarity, and exploitation, though recent regulatory advances have provided labour and social protections to some domestic workers. We locate the rise of the on-demand economy within the longer-term trajectory of domestic work in South Africa, identifying the ‘traditional’ sector as a key site of undervalued labour. On-demand domestic work platforms create much-needed economic opportunities in a context of pervasive un(der)-employment, opportunities that come with some incremental improvements over traditional working arrangements. Yet we contend that platform models maintain the patterns of everyday abuse found elsewhere in the domestic work sector. These models are premised on an ability to navigate regulatory contexts to provide clients with readily available, flexible labour without longer-term commitment, therefore sidestepping employer obligations to provide labour rights and protections. As a result, on-demand companies reinforce the undervalued and largely unprotected labour of marginalised women domestic workers.

Authors: Siqueira Henrique Lopes , Marcato Junior José , Matsubara Edson Takashi , Colares Reinaldo Almeida , Santos Fabio Martins
Published: September 2020

Apesar da popularização do uso de aeronaves remotamente pilotadas (RPA) como ferramentas para produção de produtos fotogramétricos e cartográficos digitais, pouco se fala a respeito da acurácia de tais produtos no contexto de terrenos acidentados, onde a diferença abrupta de altitudes gera uma maior complexidade na modelagem do relevo e consequentemente na geração das ortofotos. O objetivo desse trabalho é apresentar a avaliação e classificação baseado no PEC-PCD (Padrão de Exatidão Cartográfica para Produtos Cartográficos Digitais) de ortofotomosaicos e modelos digitais de superfície (DSM) gerados para uma mesma área de mineração. Para esse estudo utilizamos imagens RGB (não métrica) com GSD (Ground Sample Distance) estimado de 2,45 cm, e sobreposição de 80%/80%, captadas por RPA do tipo multirotor em dois voos idênticos realizados em datas distintas, para cada voo foram utilizados 15 alvos pré-sinalizados dos quais foram coletadas as coordenadas X, Y e Z com auxilio de equipamento GNSS RTK. Cinco experimentos foram realizados, variando o número de GCP (Ground Control Points) e mantendo o número de CP (Check Points). Os produtos (ortofotomosaicos e DSM) gerados com as diferentes configurações de GCP, foram avaliados com base no PEC-PCD e, analisando os resultados obtidos foi possível constatar a variação de escala na qual os produtos se enquadram, esse fato foi atribuído à quantidade e disposição (geometria) dos GCP. De forma geral, os produtos gerados com 6 e 8 GCP apresentaram níveis de acurácia semelhantes entre si e foram classificados como Classe A para a escala 1:1000.
Uso de Dados de Radar Meteorológico em Modelo Hidrológico SCS-CN para a Estimativa de Escoamento Superficial
Authors: Miguel Bárbara Hass , Rennó Camilo Daleles
Published: September 2020

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a viabilidade do uso de estimativas de chuva a partir de dados do radar meteorológico do Instituto de Pesquisas Meteorológicas de Bauru (IPMet/UNESP) na implementação do modelo hidrológico distribuído simplificado Soil Conservation Service – Curve Number (SCS-CN), a fim de se analisar o escoamento superficial de eventos de precipitação na bacia hidrográfica do Rio Jacaré-Guaçu, localizada na região centro-leste do estado de São Paulo. Nesse trabalho, as estimativas de chuva a partir de dados do radar meteorológico do IPMet foram calibradas com dados de 18 estações pluviométricas, contudo, a área de estudo apresenta apenas uma estação fluviométrica em operação, localizada no exutório da bacia. Foram escolhidos dois eventos ocorridos em janeiro e fevereiro de 2013, de acordo com a propagação do escoamento superficial extraído a partir da aplicação de um filtro digital de separação de escoamento. Os resultados foram satisfatórios em relação a propagação do escoamento superficial gerada pelo modelo hidrológico SCS-CN. Entretanto, é preciso ressaltar que alguns fatores de incerteza foram levados em consideração no processo de implementação do modelo hidrológico. Um desses fatores é que a falta de calibração de parâmetros do modelo SCS-CN, como os valores tabelados da CN, pode ter produzido alguns valores espúrios de chuva efetiva e, consequentemente, isso pode ter interferido nos valores de propagação do escoamento superficial.

Features of measuring absolute permeability of rocks
Authors: Pescov Aleksander V.
Published: September 2020

Aspects of gas permeability measurement on samples of terrigenic and carbonate rocks of oil and gas collectors, as well as artificial samples on the domestic Darsimeter plant are considered. The following types of reservoir rocks were used for the study: pore, fractured, cavernous. The scope of application of the Darcy Law for pore-type rocks was clarified, which is limited to small pore pressures. Permeability coefficients were determined taking into account the gas slip-law effect of Klinkenberg on regression equations. Apparent permeability at low pressure drops was determined. For a number of samples with low permeability, the pore size was calculated to relate to the apparent permeability value. The calculation was carried out on the basis of the obtained values of structural coefficients of rocks by the method of electrical resistivity and on the basis of porosity values determined using the Preobrazhenskiy method.For a number of crack and capillary samples, the relationship between the pressure gradient and the filtration rate became nonlinear, and types of filtration laws were determined. Establishing the applicability of Darcy 's law or nonlinear law was controlled by constructing indicator curves and calculating the Reynolds number. For terrigenic rocks of high permeability, errors of measurement of gas permeability coefficients at different pressure drop intervals were determined: dispersion and coefficient of variation showing low values were calculated.
On learning to thrive in the academy by turning outsiderness into strength
Authors: Sleeter Christine
Published: September 2020

If you don’t see things the same way as everyone else, if you feel like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole, can you succeed in the academy while staying true to yourself? Can you survive, thrive, and make a significant contribution?These personal questions connect with my professional work in multicultural education and ethnic studies, both of which interrogate institutionalized processes and structures in education that benefit groups with power at the expense of everyone else. I have spent much of my professional life trying to figure out how to transform those processes and practices to support the intellects, cultures, identities, and perspectives of students in our schools, and particularly those from communities minoritized on the basis of race. At the same time, I have had to wrestle with various dimensions of my own outsiderness, and learn how to thrive in academe without losing myself.When advising young scholars and graduate students faced with vexing choices that affect their professional and personal lives, I always tell them to listen to their gut, to follow their heart. This is something I learned to do gradually, as I waded through years of distrusting myself. I also advise them that following your heart is not necessarily easy. Academe may well not be organized to support your passions and perspectives, so to thrive, you must be willing to invest effort in learning how academe functions in order to map out a path that fits you. But ultimately, thriving in the academy begins by valuing what makes you, you.

The Development of Exceptional Case Marking in Romance with a Particular Focus on French
Authors: Sheehan Michelle
Published: September 2020

This paper traces the development of so-called Exceptional Case Marking (ECM) under perception, permissive and causative verbs in Romance. Synchronically, we can observe various patterns in the distribution of ECM complements under these verbs. In Portuguese and Spanish, ECM is often possible under all permissive and causative verbs, whereas in French, Catalan and Italian it is usually restricted to perception and permissive verbs. A detail that has not been much discussed is the fact that, for many speakers, ECM with a given verb is often restricted to contexts in which the embedded ‘subject’ is a clitic. Some speakers of Modern French display this pattern with the verbfaire‘make’, for example (Abeillé, Anne, Danièle Godard & Philip Miller. 1997. Les causatives en français : Un cas de compétition syntaxique.Langue Française115. 62–74.https://doi.org/10.3406/lfr.1997.6222). In this paper, I claim thatlaisser‘let’ probably also displayed this pattern in Middle French. In Old French, however, what appears to be the opposite pattern is observed. Following (Pearce, Elizabeth. 1990.Parameters in Old French syntax: Infinitival complements. Dordrecht: Kluwer), I attribute this to the morphological variability of dative case in Old French. I propose a case-based analysis of the clitic ECM pattern, whereby ECM complements in Romance are phases unlike clause union complements (see Sheehan, Michelle & Sonia Cyrino. 2018. Why do some ECM verbs resist passivisation? A phase-based explanation. In Sherry Hucklebridge & Max Nelson (eds.),Proceedings of NELS 48(vol 3), 81–90. University of Massachusetts). Where such complements are embedded under light verbs, the Phase Impenetrability Condition (Chomsky, Noam. 2001. Derivation by phase. In Michael Kenstowicz (ed.),Ken hale: A life in language, 1–52. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press) prevents accusative case from being assigned to the lower subject except in instances of cliticization. When the matrix verb is reanalysed as a full verb, however, v becomes the case-assigning head and so ECM becomes generally available, regardless of the clitic/non-clitic status of the causee.

As per the recent statistical data, the consumption of fuel has increased from 1965 to 2012 at a very high rate. Earlier, we used to relay mostly on coal for running steam engines, and with the advancement of technology, this switched over to gasoline, diesel, natural gas and alternative fuels. Most of the emission coming from automotive engines was the main contributor to air pollution. An Aqua silencer composed of E glass-based composite was introduced to avoid the release of such gases directly into the atmosphere from diesel engines. It was manufactured using core moulding and vacuum bagging technology and was fitted to the exhaust pipe of the diesel engine to treat the toxic gasses before releasing to the atmosphere. Other than reducing the regulated emission, it also reduced particulate matter significantly. The particulate matter was reduced using an activated charcoal layer. The noise and particulate level were found to be less by 40 and 93% respectively when compared with the conventional silencer. Besides this, it has ease of installation. The current paper discussed the utilisation of this innovative mechanism in automobiles and its contribution to various fields such as refineries and chemical processing units.

Published: September 2020

A theoretical study is conducted to investigate the thermal radiation effect on boundary layer flow of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Jeffrey nanofluid across a moving plate with convective boundary condition. More physically acceptable model of passively controlled wall nanoparticle concentration is executed. Similarity transformation variables are utilised to transform the partial differential equations to non-linear ordinary differential equations. An effective Runge-Kutta Fehlberg Fourth-Fifth order (RKF45) method is employed to solve the obtained equations numerically. Validation of the present results has been made with the existing studies under the limiting cases and the results are found to be in a good agreement. Numerical solutions for several pertinent parameters are provided graphically over specified distributions. The results indicate that the temperature profile intensifies attributable to the increasing thermal radiation parameter. Besides, the increase of Brownian motion parameter pronounces negligible effect on the temperature profile, whereas nanoparticle concentration profile declines. Moreover, increment in the thermophoresis diffusion parameter results in the escalation of the temperature and nanoparticle concentration profiles.

Published: September 2020

For a long period of operation, a number of shortcomings have been identified in KPP-5 fastener that is mainly due to an intensive decrease of pressing force of the rail on sleepers. This leads to the appearance of frequent cases of track displacement and fastening elements failure. To verify such hypothesis, the process of power work of KPP-5 fastener during railway track operation was researched. The technique and practical means of controlling the power work of KPP-5 fastener are developed. The influence of various factors of the rail pressing force on the sleeper is determined. The main influence is conditioned by under-rail wear (50.4%). The obtained results made it possible to formulate recommendations for the improvement of KPP-5 fastener where the methodology and practical means of controlling the power work of KPP-5 fastener were proposed. At the same time, it allows increasing the reliability and safety of the rail track during the entire overhaul period.

Published: September 2020

Early detection of defects in metallic components used in infrastructure is crucial to ensure their safety and reliability. This paper presents a development of a small eddy current testing (ECT) probe for evaluation of sub-millimetre surface defects. The ECT probe is developed in a planar differential using sensitive anisotropy magnetoresistance sensors, and the signal amplification is achieved by a home-made instrumentation amplifier. The developed ECT probe is evaluated by performing phase sensitive measurement of the magnetic responses of sub-millimetre surface slits at the excitation field of 200 Hz and 10 kHz. Compared to the real component of the magnetic response, the imaginary component can be used to identify the existence and position of the slits based on the signal intensity change caused by the induced eddy current. The spatial distribution of the magnetic response measured by the ECT probe can be used to estimate the dimension of the slit. It is expected that the developed ECT probe can be utilised for assessment of sub-millimetre surface defect.
Energy and Exergy Viability Analysis of Nanofluids As A Coolant for Microchannel Heat Sink

Published: September 2020

The present paper aims to provide a theoretical analysis of energy, exergy loss and pumping power demand of water-based Al2O3, TiO2, CuO, SiC nanofluids flow through rectangular microchannel heat sinks under constant heat flux condition. The weight fraction of nanoparticles was varied from 0% to5%. Thermal resistance decreased with particle inclusion in the base fluid. Decease in thermal resistance and increase in microchannel efficiency was observed with the application of nanofluids. However, reduction in thermal resistance and rise in efficiency is more with Al2O3 –water and CuO-water nanofluids rather than TiO2-water and SiC-water nanofluids. Addition of nanoparticles in base fluids was found suitable for reducing thermal resistance and increasing efficiency of microchannel but at the same time, an increase in pumping power with the rise in weight fraction was also observed. The maximum reduction in thermal resistance with a simultaneous increase in thermal efficiency was observed using CuO-water nanofluids at 5% wt. fraction. The estimated exergy loss is relatively higher in CuO-water and Al2O3-water nanofluids than TiO2-water and SiC-water nanofluids. The rise in ambient temperature effectively reduces the exergy loss. Maximum exergy loss was obtained with CuO nanofluids at 5% wt. fraction while the minimum was observed with water. The effect of substrate thickness on efficiency and exergy loss was also estimated.
