Authors: Alrashidi Abdullah , Elsemary Ismail M. M. , Abdel-Rehim Ahmed A. , Abdellatif Osama E. , Rabbo Mohamed Fayek Abd
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the effect of packed bed material porosity and air-to-fuel ratio on the combustion stabilization of a premixed gaseous mixture. An experimental work was carried out in a single-layer concept of a packed bed on a constant cross-sectional area tubular burner. Two types of materials, Alumina (Al2O3) and Zirconia (ZrO2), with different porosities, namely 0.36, 0.4, 0.44, and 0.46, were tested. The results showed that porosity has a significant effect on the position of the reaction zones. As porosity decreases, the reaction zone moves downstream of the packed bed. The excess air ratio does not affect the position of the reaction zone but has an impact on the temperature distribution inside the porous medium. The packed bed material affects the volume of the reaction zone and the temperature distribution inside the porous media, where Zirconia has a reaction zone volume higher than Alumina. The concentration of NOx was reduced with increasing porosity. Zirconia media exhibits a lower level of NOx emission compared to Alumina. For an excess air ratio of 1.6, the maximum NOx values were 22.5 and 17.5 ppm for Alumina and Zirconia, respectively.

Authors: Ali Diyar Yousif , Mahmood Raid Ahmed
Published: June 2024

Diagonal bracings are installed in frame structures, functioning as members for lateral resistance and energy dissipation. The objective of this study is to assess the hysteresis response behavior of circular hollow steel bracing. Energy dissipation, a key consideration in choosing brace parameters, plays a crucial role in enhancing seismic performance. This study highlights the cyclic response of three Finite Element (FE) modeled steel braces with variable steel diameter and wall thickness. The design method is additionally confirmed through FE models experiencing hysteresis loadings, suggesting that this approach can secure the overall stability of bracing and is well-suited for practical engineering implementations.
Control of a Grid-connected Inverter using Sliding Mode Control
Authors: Tran Quang-Tho
Published: June 2024

The rising popularity of grid-connected multilevel inverters with photovoltaic panels underscores the importance of effective modulation and control strategies for ensuring optimal power quality. The performance of these inverters hinges significantly on modulation and control approaches, specifically addressing issues like common mode voltage, harmonics, switching loss, and dynamic response. This study introduces a novel approach to mitigate current harmonics in these inverters by employing sliding mode control. Notably, this technique achieves harmonic reduction without necessitating an increase in the switching count. The presented technique eliminates phase-locked loop, current controllers, and carrier waves, thereby easing hardware computation. Beyond computational efficiency, this approach contributes to enhanced power quality and dynamic response within the inverter system. Simulation results affirm the efficacy of the proposed method when compared to the use of the phase opposite disposition modulation combined with the current controllers. In the nominal operational mode, the proposed method reduces the current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the highest magnitude of individual harmonics, and the switching count by 43.6%, 73.5%, and 19.6% respectively, compared with those of the method using the phase opposite disposition modulation combined with current controllers.

Published: June 2024

The robustness and reliability of neural network architectures are put to the test by adversarial attacks, resulting in inaccurate findings and affecting the efficiency of applications operating on Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This study investigates the severe repercussions that might emerge from attacks on neural network topologies and their implications on embedded systems. In particular, this study investigates the degree to which a neural network trained in the MNIST dataset is susceptible to adversarial attack strategies such as FGSM. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of various attack strategies in compromising the accuracy and dependability of the network. This study also examines ways to improve the resilience of a neural network structure through the use of adversarial training methods, with particular emphasis on the APE-GAN approach. The identification of the vulnerabilities in neural networks and the development of efficient protection mechanisms can improve the security of embedded applications, especially those on IoT chips with limited resources.

Authors: Chopparapu SaiTeja , Chopparapu Gowthami , Vasagiri Divija
Published: June 2024

In this paper, a novel approach to enhance image quality in real-time using Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is introduced. The adopted method utilizes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) within a Q-learning framework to dynamically apply various image enhancement filters. These filters are selected based on their impact on the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM), which serves as the primary metric for evaluating enhancements. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through extensive experiments, where improvements in image quality are measured by employing metrics such as SSIM, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Mean Squared Error (MSE). The results exhibit a significant potential for DRL in automating complex image-processing tasks in various real-world applications.
Using Advanced "Birth and Death" APDL Code to Analyze the Thermal Transient Problem of Mass Concrete during Construction Phases
Authors: Bui Anh Kiet , Nguyen Trong Chuc , Nguyen Thi Thuy Bich
Published: June 2024

For finite element analysis of the thermal transfer problem, solving the Boundary Condition (BC) change versus time appropriately, according to the concrete construction phases, is an important factor affecting the accuracy of the analysis result. The contact BC may change versus time from the convective boundary to the contact boundary between two bodies. In this paper, a technique using the "Birth and Death" element is applied to the heat transfer boundary of a mass concrete pier versus the time of construction phases. From the obtained results, it was concluded that the temperature distribution in the pier body can be determined according to the phases of construction. The achieved temperature field gives an input to the stress analysis allowing the determination of the possibility of thermal cracking of the structure and give appropriate alternatives to prevent thermal cracks.

Introduction

Understanding the effect of statins on epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is important as it may help reduce the negative impact of EAT-derived molecules on the cardiovascular system and consequently on coronary artery disease. Thus, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of statin therapy on EAT.

Methods

The study utilized Scopus, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to gather relevant studies on the impacts of statins on EAT until September 5th, 2023. The data collected underwent meta-analysis using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) V4 software.

Results

In the meta-analysis, three studies involving 512 subjects were ultimately incorporated. The findings indicated a significant decrease in EAT after treatment with statins (standardized mean difference (SMD = –0.507, 95% CI: –2.536, 1.521, p = 0.021).

Conclusions

Statins appear to exert an additional cardiovascular therapeutic effect by reducing EAT.

Benefits and Challenges of Research Commercialisation in South Africa: A Systemic Review
Authors: Razwinani Mapula , Tshikovhi Ndivhuho , Motaung Keolebogile
Published: June 2024

In developing countries, there is an increased emphasis on encouraging the commercialisation of research at universities. This triggers universities to adopt a culture of innovation and technological learning at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The focus of this review article is to highlight the benefits and challenges faced by researchers in the field of synthetic biology products, biotechnology, agribusiness, Biofuels and phytomedicine in commercialisation. The methodological approach was informed by a selection of electronic databases with a high chance of the selected field in relation to the commercialisation of the research outputs. Google Scholar, PubMed, and Higher Education and Science Technology South Africa Reports for entrepreneurial universities were searched, focusing on 2007 to 2023. The years proved to have played a role in furthering discussions and policy in research on commercialisation in South Africa, the benefits of research commercialisation, challenges of research commercialisation, its determinants, and its impact on academics, universities, and other stakeholders. The review findings suggest that the commercialisation of research is a challenging and complex task to execute, as there are very few cases in South Africa to have a successful academic intellectual property creation, licensing, academic entrepreneurship, and start-up of research. This is placed into context by the fact that the market for high-end products and processes is highly uncertain.

This chapter aims at identifying early career researchers’ (ECRs) perceptions of interculturality and interpreting the relevant findings. In order to serve the field of interculturality and the population of early career researchers (ECRs) within the scope of EUREDIE project, qualitative data have been collected with 6 open-ended questions in an online survey. The data have been analyzed with a thematic focus and the findings have been interpreted and discussed with the illustrative response samples of the ECRs. Findings have shown that the ECRs participating in the research are reportedly interculturally responsive individuals and professionals as teachers or academicians. However, their perception of interculturality seems to center more on language and nation- based perspectives or in other words, big C of interculturality. Moreover, the participants’ responses indicate a need for assistance in addressing and responding to diversity and interculturality in their teaching and research practices although they value it as part of their professional identities.

ABSTRACT 
The phenomenon of warming sea surface temperature, or what is often called El Nino, has the impact of reducing rainfall in Indonesia, causing a very long dry season in 2023 - 2024. BMKG stated that a number of regions in Indonesia have monthly rainfall intensity in the low category, so the dry season is drier than the previous 3 (three) years. The impact of El Nino has become a natural phenomenon that has an influence on the people of Java Island, especially the Probolinggo Regency area. Most of the people of Probolinggo Regency use their land as agricultural land. Mranggonlawang Village is an area that has the potential to be successful with its agricultural products, especially shallots. Where 40.77% of the agricultural land in the village is dry land, 27% is paddy land and 32.13% is homestead. The problems that occur in Mranggonlawang village are due to human resources (HR) constraints which have not been maximized in managing existing natural resources, so they only depend on shallot farming. The community is not aware that natural resource management regarding irrigation of agricultural land can be utilized, because water sources in Mranggon Lawang village are abundant. Therefore, it is necessary to form an association so that water in Mranggonlawang village can be managed as well as possible. This water association is part of the Association of Water User Farmers (HIPPA) or the Association of Water User Farmers Associations (GHIPPA).

The blockchain technology can become a solution in data privacy and protection, being considered a public and decentralized database, in which the identity of a user is masked in the form of an address. Based on this technology, several decentralized protocols such as Bitcoin or Ethereum have been created, with the help of which decentralized applications can be created. In this article, we examine how these technologies can be used to ensure the transparency of a software application, but also the privacy and protection of user data. Other facilities like Non-Fungible Token - NFT and Smart Contract are used. The paper proposes the design and the implementation (including the source code) of a web platform for education / courses incorporating blockchain technology. The results and conclusions are showed. Finally, the contributions of the paper, the limitations and future works are also highlighted.

Various factors contribute to the success and life satisfaction of individuals. Grit, however, becomes the most important one in the long run. Grit, described as commitment to long-term goals and perseverance, can be crucial for personal development. This study aims to investigate the relationship between grit, curiosity, and life satisfaction through a correlational research design. Through purposive sampling, a sample of 390 participants (181 women, 208 men, and one unspecified gender) was recruited and administered the Grit scale, Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II, and Life satisfaction scale. The study's results were analyzed using SPSS 23 and AMOS 21, illuminating the substantial indirect influence of grit on life satisfaction, mediated by curiosity, and a direct, positive impact of grit on life satisfaction. These findings reinforce the idea that well-being is a complex interplay of psychological traits and experiences. Encouraging a holistic approach to personal development and well-being, considering factors like grit and curiosity, can lead to more fulfilling and satisfying lives.

Internet Gaming Disorder is a serious problem in the lives of young people. In adolescents (N=720), loneliness, self-injurious, and suicidal behaviors were tested as selected predictors of Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms in males and females. Suicidal behavior, self-injurious behavior and loneliness were not confirmed as predictors of Internet gaming disorder in men (p>.05). Self-injurious behavior, loneliness, and suicidal behavior were confirmed as predictors of Internet Gaming Disorder in females (R2 =.01-.04; p .05). Suicidal behavior confirmed a mediating effect between loneliness (β3 =-.035; p3 =.007) and IGD symptoms in females. The results highlight the importance of considering factors such as suicidal behavior and respondent gender that enter the relationship between loneliness and the development of Internet gaming disorder.
Quantum data assimilation: a new approach to solving data assimilation on quantum annealers

Abstract. Data assimilation is a crucial component in the Earth science field, enabling the integration of observation data with numerical models. In the context of numerical weather prediction (NWP), data assimilation is particularly vital for improving initial conditions and subsequent predictions. However, the computational demands imposed by conventional approaches, which employ iterative processes to minimize cost functions, pose notable challenges in computational time. The emergence of quantum computing provides promising opportunities to address these computation challenges by harnessing the inherent parallelism and optimization capabilities of quantum annealing machines. In this investigation, we propose a novel approach termed quantum data assimilation, which solves the data assimilation problem using quantum annealers. Our data assimilation experiments using the 40-variable Lorenz model were highly promising, showing that the quantum annealers produced an analysis with comparable accuracy to conventional data assimilation approaches. In particular, the D-Wave Systems physical quantum annealing machine achieved a significant reduction in execution time.

Silencing the Phantom - Pregabalin Misuse in Amputation Patients: A Case Report
Authors: Danışman Mustafa , Aşut Gonca
Published: June 2024

In the aftermath of amputation, individuals face not only physical pain but also psychological challenges as their body's integrity is suddenly disrupted. Phantom limb sensations, characterized by the feeling that the amputated limb still exists, are common after amputation. Phantom limb pain often accompanies these sensations. Beyond the physiological aspects, patients' psychological adaptation journey is pivotal. This case report delves into the intricate relationship between phantom limb sensations, psychological factors, and pregabalin use disorder in a right-arm amputee patient. A 25-year-old right-arm amputee male patient went to an addiction outpatient clinic for pregabalin addiction treatment. He had a history of cannabis use to cope with his sadness during his adolescence. While cannabis use initially provided emotional relief, it later turned to pregabalin misuse, escalating to alarming doses (3000mg/day). Many pharmacological agents, including pregabalin, are being tried to treat phantom limb pain. Beyond its positive effects in phantom limb pain treatment, many studies have been published about its addictive features recently. This case underscores the need for comprehensive care for amputees, including psychological support, early prosthetic intervention, social reintegration, and judicious medication management. This case report serves as a reminder that the post-amputation period is not just a physical struggle but also a complex psychological journey toward healing and reintegration into a fulfilling life..

The rest of Cisaat Market's waste cannot be recycled by PT. Kujang Sakti Siliwangi is 2.4 tons per day while the Cimenteng TPA is almost over capacity. This causes market waste to increasingly accumulate, so a solution is needed, namely destroying waste using incinerators. The incinerator was designed using the ISO mechanical engineering drawing method using Autodesk Inventor software. The fabrication process uses methods of cutting material, welding, assembling/installing components, and painting all incinerator components. The test results are very satisfactory and the incinerator is suitable for operation because it is below the threshold according to Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 70 of 2016 concerning quality standards for emissions from businesses and/or thermal waste processing activities. The results of the Total Particulate value were 44.79 mg/Nm3, Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) was 175.70 mg/Nm3, Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) was 213.80 mg/Nm3, Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) was 5.27 mg/Nm3 , Mercury (Hg) of 0.000267 mg/Nm3, Carbon Monoxide (CO) of 85.04 mg/Nm3, Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) of 0.06 mg/Nm3.
