Capacity Estimation for Four-Lane Inter-Urban Roads in Telangana through Speed Data Analysis
Authors: Naveen Kumar Gaurav Verma, Saurabh Jaglan,
Published: April 2024

Urban and interstate speed restrictions are mainly enacted to improve road safety, efficiency, and the reduction of travel time and accidents. When evaluating the capacity and free-flow conditions of interurban roads, the 85th percentile of free-flow speed is a regularly used metric. With the use of volume and speed data, this study endeavours to estimate the capacity of four-lane inter-urban highways in Telangana. Moreover, it investigates, taking into account vehicle kinds and speed restrictions, the connection between density, capacity, flow, and speed. Two lengths of inter-urban highways close to Hyderabad were measured for free-flow speeds; these segments included both straight and curving parts of the route. The results show that in Hyderabad, automobiles, lorries, and buses make up the majority of traffic, with two-wheelers coming in second.

Volume and speed capacity analysis becomes essential for understanding the density and flow of different vehicles on specific stretches of the road. Estimating capacity is a fundamental aspect of designing, operating, and planning the “layout of a road network system. The estimation of road capacity, as outlined in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) of 2010, relies significantly on the free-flow speed. This speed, indicative of a situation where vehicle movement remains unaffected by the presence of other vehicles in the stretch, holds a pivotal role in capacity assessment. However, the quantification of the influence of free-flow speed on four-lane inter-urban roads is not explicitly addressed in existing methodologies. The heterogeneous nature of traffic on Indian highways, coupled with poor lane discipline, poses challenges for applying simulation techniques. On other hand, values of the Passenger car unit (PCU)” which change homogeneous traffic streams to heterogeneous traffic into a more standardized form. However, PCU values are dynamic and vary under different traffic conditions, necessitating complicated and expensive data collection procedures.

A model is suggested in this study which aims to provide a quick estimation of capacity, removing complexities associated with traditional methodologies, while ensuring accuracy is maintained. This model aims to address the challenges posed by heterogeneous traffic on Indian highways and streamline the estimation process, making it more accessible for field engineers. The model efficiently estimates the capacity of inter-urban roads in Telangana by utilizing speed data and exploring the relationships between flow, speed, density, and capacity.
Towards a Digital Representation of Building Systems Controls

Energy monitoring and performance optimization processes play a significant role in ensuring energy-efficient building operation. However, the current implementation of these processes requires substantial time and effort due to the fragmented and non-digital nature of technical building equipment information. To address these challenges, we demonstrate the application of the PLCont methodology within an ongoing monitoring process in a real building. PLCont utilizes Semantic Web Technologies and established RDF ontologies to describe the control topology. The digital representation of control functions aligns closely with the IEC standard 61131-3, and the PLCont ontology establishes a connection between the topology and the control functions. We compare the conventional approach and the PLCont methodol-ogy using the supply air temperature control of an Air Handling Unit (AHU) as a use case. A graphical user interface built upon the PLCont backend provides a comprehensive represen-tation of the system's functionality. It displays the system topology as a digital HVAC schema, the function code exported from the PLC, time-series data plots, and textual descriptions of implemented functions. We demonstrate how this approach enhances transparency and facil-itates the identification and elimination of faulty system behavior, ultimately contributing to the optimization and energy efficiency of building systems.

The reinforcement of structural elements is widely practiced worldwide. It can be applied due to deterioration of the concrete, either due to age, change of use, extensions, or updating of the design code. However, it is sometimes used with inappropriate materials or without technical supervision or structural design. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the method of strengthening based on the external addition of steel elements and to determine its influence on the flexural load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. For the same area of external steel, two types of beams are defined: the first one with cold-formed angle sections at the bottom corners, and the second one with a steel plate in the center of the tension face of the beam. The behavior of a total of 12 beams under monotonic and cyclic loading is experimentally studied. The connection was made with post-installed expanding bolts, without adhesives. The configuration that presents adequate results in terms of strength, flexibility, and energy, this obtained with the addition of a steel elements. On the other hand, the use of angled sections, contrary to expectations, reduces the load-carrying capacity and ductility of the section.

Cenostigma pyramidale is an endemic species of Brazil, widely spread in the Caatinga biome. The conditions in the semi-arid Northeastern region of Brazil can affect the development of plants due to the irregularity of rainfall, limiting the availability of water and reducing the germination and initial growth of native species. Therefore, seed priming with salicylic acid may mitigate the effects of water stress on plants. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of seed osmopriming with salicylic acid as a water deficit attenuator on germination and initial growth of C. pyramidale seedlings. A completely randomized design in a 5 × 5 factorial scheme, corresponding to five osmotic potentials (Ψs – 0, -0.3, -0.6, -0.9 and -1.2 MPa) and five doses of salicylic acid (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mM), with four repetitions of 25 seeds, was used. Germination and initial growth of C. pyramidale were compromised by water deficit. Osmopriming of seeds with salicylic acid at a dose of 0.63 mM is an efficient strategy to reduce the effect of water deficit in the germination stage from the potential of -0.2 MPa. The vigor of C. pyramidale seeds increased under deficit conditions with the application of salicylic acid, with the concentration varying from 0.5 to 1.0 mM. Osmopriming seeds with 0.87 mM salicylic acid promotes the development of vigorous seedlings under water deficit conditions.

Published: April 2024

This study was conducted at C. K. Tedam University of Applied Sciences and Technology. It was guided by education and communication model as propounded by Shanon and Weaver (1949). This study was designed to investigate the influence of communication channels on education management practices in Ghanaian public universities. The study specifically investigated the types of communication channels used in the university and related the channels to the constraints faced in communicating messages in the university. Literature was reviewed in relation to the above stated objective. The study sample was drawn from CKT-UTAS and involved both academic and administrative staff. The sample size was one hundred and fifty two (152) which represents 77.6% of the target population. Stratified random sampling techniques based on the respondents’ job descriptions were used. The instruments for data collection involved use of questionnaires and information from secondary data materials for instance the University Act 2019, Act 1000 and the employee survey findings of 2006. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The major findings revealed that CKT-UTAS had few channels of communication and that the communication policy framework was in place. However, the study identified that CKT-UTAS relies on Head of Departments, Group representatives, memos, notice boards, face to face and telephone to communicate. The study therefore, recommended that CKT-UTAS embraces new channels of communication (i.e. use of email) for efficiency purposes in addition to the already existing ones. Also the university should adopt strategies of enhancing communication between the staff and administration.

Published: April 2024

Technological development is rapid and unavoidable. Every individual, not limited to age, educational background, profession and others, can access information digitally. But unfortunately the rapid development of digital technology is not accompanied by the anticipation for its users. This is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection is done by Unstructure interview. The researchers classified the informants based on their teaching experience, namely (a) teachers with less than 10 years of teaching experience, (b) teachers with 10-20 years of teaching experience, and (c) teachers with more than 20 years of teaching experience. The results of the study show that not all teachers understand and implement digital literacy. Teachers with the old paradigm or those who on average have more than 20 years of teaching experience, do not give their students enough freedom in the aspects of digital skills, namely, critical thinking, creativity, communication skills and collaboration. Teachers with the old paradigm seem less able to accept criticism from their students or if there are things where students don't share the same ideas as their teachers. Teachers with the old paradigm also still have big concerns if their students collaborate with students from other schools for security reasons, and tend to direct students to use their electronic devices only for learning and not for other things. From the differences in perceptions among these teachers, education or training related to digital literacy for teachers is very urgent to be implemented.

Authors:   Department of Chemistry, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA, Chen Ketao , Ji Hai-Feng ,   Department of Chemistry, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Published: April 2024

Objective: In our previous publication, a core-structured field effect transistor (CoreFET) device shows field effect transistor (FET) behavior. In this work, we investigated factors such as the thickness of the film and the channel on the conductivity of the device in order to optimize the geometry to provide guidance on the fabrication of the device with the best performance. Methods: This study uses Silvaco ATLAS numerical simulation software to investigate the performance of CoreFET. The effects of the thickness of the dielectric layer, SiO2, and the distance between the drain and source (channel length) on the conductivity of the semi-conductor indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) have been studied. The flat FET models with the same parameters were used for comparison. Results: Our simulation results demonstrate a directed correlation between the optimized conductivity of the device and the thickness of the dielectric material, as well as the length of the channel. Enhanced sensitivity is achievable by employing a thinner dielectric layer and a narrower channel. Conclusion: According to the results, the device can achieve better performance by optimizing the thickness of the insulator and the gap distance between drain and source electrodes. The remarkable similarity between them indicates that the FET effect remained largely unaffected by variations in FET shape. This observation suggests a consistent outcome across FETs, reinforcing the notion that CoreFET exhibits comparable results as those of film FETs. This finding significantly broadens the scope of CoreFET applications.

Authors:   Applied College, Khamis Mushait, King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia, Abdelgalal Abdelgalal
Published: April 2024

Resolving financial futures through inverse problem-solving delves into the complicated process of deciphering the difficulties subjective in the financial market to forecast behaviours and future trends. Inverse problem-solving involves working backwards from observed outcomes to uncover the underlying conditions or parameters, unlike prediction models, which often rely on past information to predict future outcomes. This method in the finance sector includes untangling the numberless factors influencing the market dynamics, like technological advancements, economic indicators, investor sentiment, and geopolitical events. Analysts can tease out hidden patterns and relationships within financial data using statistical techniques and complex mathematical algorithms, enabling them to generate accurate predictions of market volatility, asset prices, and other crucial metrics. The financial future becomes less opaque through the lens of inverse problem solving, providing policymakers and investors great foresight and insight into navigating the uncertainties of global markets. Hence, this study introduces a Neutrosophic MOOSRA with Whale Optimization Algorithm (NMOOSRA-WOA) for Unraveling Financial Futures through Inverse Problem Solving. The NMOOSRA-WOA incorporates linear scaling normalization, NMOOSRA-based prediction, and WOA-based parameter tuning to boost the robustness and accuracy of financial predictions. The NMOOSRA technique generates predictions based on past financial time series data. Moreover, the framework integrates the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) for parameter tuning, leveraging whale pods' search abilities to optimize predictive performance and finetune model parameters. The NMOOSRA-WOA provides a comprehensive algorithm for financial prediction by synergistically combining these methodologies, which facilitates more accurate forecasts of market trends, asset prices, and other critical indicators. Experimental results on real-time financial datasets demonstrate the superiority and efficacy of the proposed framework over other classical prediction techniques, highlighting its potential for risk management within dynamic financial markets and real-time applications in investment decision-making.

Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study type of research, data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation. The research results show that Dayah Darul Hikmah West Aceh has systematically improved attitudes toward religious moderation among its students. Efforts begin with careful planning based on the principles of religious moderation from the Indonesian Ministry of Religion, such as tas?muh, tawassuth, taw?zun, itid?l, mus?wah, and sy?ra. Furthermore, educators socialize and apply the values ??of religious moderation in learning in and outside the classroom by emphasizing tolerance, mutual respect and respect for differences. The practice of religious moderation can be seen from an attitude of mutual respect, respect and affection regardless of differences among students. They also maintain good relations with followers of other religions. This practice aligns with multicultural education, peace, character, inclusiveness, and rahmatan lil'alamin. However, there are challenges, such as misunderstanding regarding religious moderation among educators. This research concludes the importance of socialization, in-depth understanding, evaluation and continuous improvement in efforts to increase attitudes towards religious moderation.

Introduction: The correct interaction between elements of the endocannabinoid system plays an important role in the development of the central nervous system. Clinical and preclinical studies suggest that cannabidiol (CBD) may be useful for athletes due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic, and neuroprotective properties and its influence on the sleep-wake cycle. In addition, a series of implications for epigenetic processes have also been proven, through changes in the expression of microRNAs responsible for modulating the immune and inflammatory systems. Objective: It was to develop a systematic review study to highlight the main aspects of cannabidiol in the interaction with microRNAs and exosomes in the modulation of inflammatory and immunological processes in athletes. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The research was carried out from February to April 2023 in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 228 articles were found, and 84 articles were evaluated in full and 33 were included and developed in this systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 20 studies with a high risk of bias and 90 studies that did not meet GRADE. CBD has been reported to exert a range of physiological, biochemical, and psychological effects with the potential to benefit human health. For example, there is preliminary supporting evidence for the anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, analgesic, and anxiolytic actions of CBD and the possibility that it may protect against gastrointestinal damage associated with inflammation and promote the healing of traumatic skeletal injuries. The combination of Δ9-THC and CBD can alter the activity of microRNAs responsible for increasing the biosynthesis of inflammatory mediators, leading to a reduction in the inflammatory profile. However, it is important to recognize that these findings are very preliminary, sometimes inconsistent, and largely derived from preclinical studies. These studies are limited in their generalizability to athletes and often administer high doses of CBD. The central observation is that there is a lack of studies that directly investigate CBD and sports performance.
Potential use of virtual reality technologies for opioid use disorder treatment
Authors: Garett Renee , Young Sean D.
Published: April 2024

The opioid epidemic is a serious national public health crisis. Although effective medications are available to treat opioid use disorder, there are low rates of uptake and treatment retention. To mitigate these problems, novel engineering devices, such as using virtual reality (VR), warrant examination. Certain opioid use disorder (OUD) populations may especially benefit from virtual reality to assist with treatment initiation and retention, such as incarcerated persons living in pre-release facilities, adolescents and young adults, and patients of methadone treatment facilities. However, prior to implementing VR in research and the community, issues such as side effects (e.g., VR-related nausea) need to be considered. This manuscript provides a brief review, identifies potential OUD-related populations that might most benefit from VR, and discusses considerations needing addressing prior to widescale implementation of VR for OUD.

The Expression of Vietnamese Folk Art in the Painting Series “Technique du Peuple Annamite”
Authors: Pham Hung Cuong
Published: April 2024

Vietnamese folk painting art, a traditional art form, is the quintessence of the nation's cultural heritage and historical significance, expressing rustic beauty but containing a Vietnamese culturally conscious mind. In order to preserve the typical beauty in the daily life of ancient Vietnamese people, a genre of folk painting rich in visual art and meaning appeared in the early 20th century. That expression is a set of paintings in an ethnographic research work by Henri Oger, a French scholar. The "Technique du peuple Annamite" series of paintings was produced in large quantities by Vietnamese artisans and reflects the daily life of the Vietnamese people in the capital Hanoi and the Red River Delta. This research was conducted to clarify the elements that create the folk character of the painting from the perspective of visual arts. The results of this study show that the paintings, from themes to forms of expression, all reflect the quintessence of Vietnamese folk art.

It is a review of the monograph by prof. I.N. Selivanov, dedicated to the influence of the “Yugoslav” and “Albanian” factors on the formation and development of Soviet-Vietnamese relations in the second half of the 1940s – early 1980s. The events in question played an important role in the history of the international communist and labor movement. The author also touches on such an important problem as the specifics of interstate relations within the “camp of socialism” during the period in which I.V. Stalin, N.S. Khrushchev and L.I. Brezhnev was in power in the Soviet Union. The book consists of three main parts, which reveal various aspects of relations between the USSR and Vietnam with Yugoslavia and Albania. A separate section is devoted to consideration of the processes of making foreign policy decisions in the Soviet Union. Each section of the book is provided with a thematic list of sources and illustrations.
