The use of abundantly available wastes such as Fly ash and ceramic powder in construction industry in the form of geopolymer concrete turns out to be the search of a very promising building material for a sustainable future[15].This study has been undertaken to investigate the strength and durability properties of geopolymer concrete by adding ceramic powder in different percentage as source material in addition with flyash[16]. All investigations are mainly focused towards geopolymer concrete mainly with flyash as source material. In this study, ceramic waste powder is added since it is also one of the major waste material as flyash. Nowadays, almost all the construction are carried out with ceramic products which results with more ceramic waste powder. Thus this work focused to utilize this waste powder into geopolymer concrete. Characteristic strength and primary durability properties are carried out by adding ceramic powder with 50%,40% and30% with fly ash. Thus this paper focuses on varying the proportions of fly ash and ceramic waste powder (50:50, 60:40, 70:30) in geopolymer concrete incorporating with polypropylene fibres in percentage of 0.5%,0.75% and 1% in volume of concrete to evaluate its strength and durability characteristics. The alkaline activator solution used is a mixture of 10 molar Sodium hydroxide and Sodium silicate in the ratio 1:3. Ambient curing condition is applied for the specimens. M-Sand is used instead of fine aggregate, since many literature reveals addition of M-Sand gains more strength in geopolymer Concrete.

Electric vehicles (EVs) enabled by high efficiency electric motors and controllers and powered by alternative energy sources provide the means for a clean, efficient, and environmentally friendly system. The power demanded by an EV is very variable. Hence HESS (Hybrid energy storage system) as an alternative source have been investigated with the objective of improving the storage of electrical energy. In these systems, two (or more) energy sources work together to create a superior device in comparison with a single source. In batteries and ultra-capacitors have complementary characteristics that make them attractive for a hybrid energy storage system. But the result of this combination is fundamentally related to how the sources are interconnect and controlled. Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is the most advance technology in automobile industries but long drive range in HEV is still a problem due to limited battery life. For increasing of battery life, two methods are widely used in HEV; one is with fuzzy logic-based battery management strategy and second is through improvement in regenerative braking system. Regenerative braking system used in HEV is to give backup power in deceleration mode which not only make HEV to drive longer but also increase the battery life cycle by charging of ultra-capacitor. The present work is for controlling the source of the motor present in the EV during different driving load conditions and storage of energy by implementing regenerative braking. In the proposed control action, motor speed plays a major role in switch the energy sources in HESS. To attain the objective, another controller has been designed with four math functions corresponding to the speed of the motor termed as Math Function Based (MFB) controller. The MFB controller works based on the motor’s speed and this controller creates the closed loop operation of the overall system with smooth operation between the energy sources. Thereafter the designed MFB controller combined with a Fuzzy Logic controller applied to the entire circuit at different load conditions. In the same way, MFB with Artificial Neural Network controller also applied to the circuit. Finally, comparative analysis has been done between two controllers. The motor has been applied with 6 different types of load and simulated. The MATLAB results of MFB with FLC and MFB with ANN has been attained and compared, discussed.

Appropriate placement and sizing of distributed generation is required for reducing power loss and improvement in voltage profile of power system. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy are two prominent sources of distributed generation. In this paper, the authors propose a novel method to analyze the optimal placement and sizing of the solar PV and wind generation system in a radial distribution system. A multi objective function is selected for optimal siting and sizing. A 33-bus distribution system has been considered for testing the developed algorithm. Optimal location is obtained by placing DG source at each bus and satisfying objective function. Jaya algorithm is implemented for optimal sizing of PV and wind system. Also the system has been analyzed by placing the solar PV and Wind generation system independently and then simultaneously.

Implementation of data mining techniques in e-learning is a trending research area, due to the increasing popularity of e-learning systems. E-learning systems provide increased portability, convenience and better learning experience. In this research, we proposed two novel schemes for upgrading the e-learning portals based on the learner’s data for improving the quality of e-learning. The first scheme is Learner History-based E-learning Portal Up-gradation (LHEPU). In this scheme, the web log history data of the learner is acquired. Using this data, various useful attributes are extracted. Using these attributes, the data mining techniques like pattern analysis, machine learning, frequency distribution, correlation analysis, sequential mining and machine learning techniques are applied. The results of these data mining techniques are used for the improvement of e-learning portal like topic recommendations, learner grade prediction, etc. The second scheme is Learner Assessment-based E-Learning Portal Up-gradation (LAEPU). This scheme is implemented in two phases, namely, the development phase and the deployment phase. In the development phase, the learner is made to attend a short pre training program. Followed by the program, the learner must attend an assessment test. Based on the learner’s performance in this test, the learners are clustered into different groups using clustering algorithm such as K-Means clustering or DBSCAN algorithms. The portal is designed to support each group of learners. In the deployment phase, a new learner is mapped to a particular group based on his her performance in the pre training program.

Cloud Computing is a robust, less cost, and an effective platform for providing services. Nowadays, it is applied in various services such as consumer business or Information Technology (IT) carried over the Internet. This cloud computing has some risks of security because, the services which are required for its effective compilation is outsources often by the third party providers. This makes the cloud computing more hard to maintain and monitor the security and privacy of data and also its support. This sudden change in the process of storing data towards the cloud computing technology improved the concerns about different issues in security and also the various threats present in this cloud storage. In the concept of security in cloud storage, various threats and challenges are noted by recent researchers. Hence, an effective framework of providing security is required. The main aim of this paper is to analyze various issues in securing the cloud data threats present in the cloud storage and to propose a novel methodology to secure it. This paper also identifies the most crucial components that can be incorporated in the already existing security measures while designing the storage systems based on cloud. This study also provides us to identify all the available solutions for the challenges of security and privacy in cloud storage.

ABSTRACT

This study is intended to analyze errors made by Google Translate in translating Eliza Riley’s Return to Paradise short story. The method is qualitative descriptive. The data are collected by comparing the translation of Google Translate with that of a professional translator. The errors are analyzed based on Mossop’s revision parameters. The findings show that Google Translate failed to recognize idiomatic expressions which caused fatal errors in the target text; errors in word choice that caused word translated out of context; and illogical sentence at the target text caused by cultural difference. As a conclusion, Google Translate may be useful to help translate few words, phrase, and particular sentence in general, and also gives a general comprehension in translating text. However, it may not give an adequate result as a fine translation product.

Authors: Lundgren Johan , Malmström Johan , Hannula Jari-Matti , Jonsson Lars
Published: November 2020

Mutual coupling, or equivalently, the isolation between antennas, is a key parameter in antenna system design. In this work, the previously defined impedance density is generalized, and it is demonstrated how it can be used to obtain spatial information about the mutual coupling. The generalized impedance density is a real-valued scalar and it can be visualized as a three-dimensional density in space. It is shown that there is a strong connection between regions with a positive (negative) generalized impedance density and a decrease (increase) of the coupling when an absorber is placed in that region. This predictive ability is a useful feature, which is tested for three numerical cases. The results are robust to the shape of the platform, and it can be compared across frequencies. By placing absorbers based on the generalized impedance density, it is possible to reduce the required amount of absorbers needed to obtain a certain reduction in mutual coupling. The visualization results and predictions of absorber positions are compared with a Poynting vector based method. Placing absorbers based on the generalized impedance density had a larger impact on the mutual coupling, compared to the predictions with the Poynting vector based method in the investigated cases.

Mutual coupling, or equivalently, the isolation between antennas, is a key parameter in antenna system design. In this work, a new quantity is proposed to obtain spatial information about mutual coupling. The new quantity is named the weak-coupling density. This quantity is a real-valued scalar and can be visualized as a three-dimensional density in space. It is also shown that there is a strong correlation between regions with a positive (negative) weak-coupling density and decreasing (increasing) the coupling when placing an absorber in that region. This predictive ability is a useful feature, which is tested here for three numerical cases. The results are robust to the shape of the platform, and it persists over neighboring frequencies. By placing absorbers based on the weak-coupling density, it is possible to reduce the required amount of absorbers to obtain a certain mutual coupling reduction. The visualization results and predictions of absorber positions are compared with a Poynting vector based method. Placing absorbers based on the weak-coupling density had a larger impact on the mutual coupling, compared to the predictions with the Poynting vector based method in the investigated cases.

The collection of the representatives of Commelinaceae Mirb. in greenhouses of Peter the Great Botanical Garden and features of its exposition
Authors: Yaroslavtseva M. A.
Published: November 2020

Collections of greenhouse plants of the Peter the Great Botanical Garden of the BIN RAS are very diverse and include more than 12500 taxa. Over the long history of the collection, certain principles of acquisition were formed: geographical, systematic, phylogenetic, environmental and morphological. For greenhouse collections, the presence of rare and endangered species, medicinal, food and economically important plants is very important. In addition to the correct approach to the selection of plants, you must also carefully consider the competent demonstration of the taxa presented. Plants that visitors can see in the exposition greenhouses should have a habit more or less corresponding to how these species look in natural conditions. In the case of blooming, decorative leaf species or cultivars, try to find an exposure option in which their decorative qualities will be presented most fully. The object of our study was representatives of Commelinaceae family. Among these plants, in addition to the well-known to us Tradescantia L. and Callisia Loefl., there are a large number of species and cultivars that are highly decorative, and there are also representatives with medicinal and environment-improving properties. The analysis of exposure options for plants of this group is carried out. The most suitable ones were selected depending on the structural features of the shoot system, and the severity of the decorative qualities of these plants. Data are provided on the results of processing cuttings of Tradescantia zebrina Bosse. retardants. These drugs should prevent the stretching of the shoots, lead to a thickening of the stem, an increase in the size of the leaf plate, more active growth of the roots. This experiment was aimed at reducing the time spent on maintaining the decorativeness of a number of species and cultivars of Commelinaceae grown in pots.

Электромагнитная совместимость интегральных микросхем становится все более важным аспектом в разработке высокоскоростных печатных плат. Международные стандарты были установлены для количественной и качественной оценки характеристик интегральных микросхем, а также помехоустойчивости с использованием различных методов измерения. Для решения задач, связанных с прогнозированием электромагнитных помех между интегральными микросхемами и печатными платами, необходимы модели интегральных микросхем как на внутриаппаратурном уровне, так и внутрисистемном. Такие модели могут быть получены из моделирования при наличии достаточной информации об интегральной микросхеме. Однако в большинстве практических случаев подробная информация об интегральных микросхемах может быть недоступна разработчикам радиоэлектронного оборудования. Предлагается улучшенная модель дипольного момента для анализа характеристик связи ближнего и дальнего электромагнитного поля от интегральной микросхемы, полученная на основе сканирования ближнего поля. Представлен массив электрических и магнитных дипольных моментов, используемых для воспроизведения распределений поля в плоскости сканирования над интегральной микросхемой. Полученные дипольные моменты могут использоваться в качестве источников излучений для интегральной микросхемы. Усовершенствованная модель дипольного момента особенно полезна для решения проблем радиочастотных помех, когда необходимо точно проанализировать шумовую связь в ближнем поле

Electromagnetic compatibility of integrated circuits is becoming an increasingly important aspect in the design of high-speed printed circuit boards. International standards have been established to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the performance of integrated circuits as well as noise immunity using a variety of measurement methods. To solve problems associated with predicting electromagnetic interference between integrated microcircuits and printed circuit boards, models of integrated microcircuits are needed both at the in-hardware and in-system levels. Such models can be obtained from simulations if there is sufficient information about the integrated circuit. However, in most practical cases, detailed information on integrated circuits may not be available to avionics designers. An improved model of the dipole moment is proposed for analyzing the characteristics of the coupling of the near and far electromagnetic fields from an integrated circuit, obtained on the basis of scanning the near field. An array of electric and magnetic dipole moments is presented, used to reproduce the field distributions in the scanning plane above an integrated microcircuit. The obtained dipole moments can be used as sources of radiation for an integrated circuit. The advanced dipole moment model is especially useful for solving RFI problems when it is necessary to accurately analyze noise communications in the near field

По статистике, более 30% людей, имеющих заболевания сердца, страдают аритмией. Самой распространенной формой является мерцательная аритмия (около 2% всего населения России) [1]. Мерцательная аритмия, как нарушение сердечной деятельности, зачастую становится основной причиной тромбообразования и тромбоэмболий, вызывающих ишемию сосудов сердца и головного мозга. Как правило, данное заболевание развивается незаметно и через несколько приступов преобразуется в хроническую или персистирующую форму. В данной статье рассматриваются проблемы диагностики мерцательной аритмии, усугубляющиеся помехами электрокардиографического сигнала, а также представлена необходимость использования реокардиографического сигнала в качестве дополнительного средства диагностики, обеспечивающего повышение достоверности выявления заболевания

According to statistics, more than 30% of people with heart disease suffer from arrhythmia. The most common form is atrial fibrillation (about 2% of the total population of Russia) [1]. Atrial fibrillation, as a violation of heart activity, often becomes the main cause of thrombosis and thromboembolism, causing ischemia of the heart and brain vessels. As a rule, this disease develops imperceptibly and after a few attacks turns into a chronic or persistent form. This article discusses the problems of diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, aggravated by interference with the electrocardiographic signal, and also presents the need to use the reocardiographic signal as an additional diagnostic tool that provides increased confidence in the detection of the disease

Published: November 2020

This study is undertaken to identify the similarities and differences of classification of homonyms in medical terminology of English, Russian and Tatar languages. In this paper a comparative method was used to identify the common and special in the compared languages. The basis of comparison in the medical terminology of genetically unrelated languages was established. In this study, the method of feature comparison was used, i.e. the phenomenon of homonymy was studied in a comparative aspect. The results of this study contribute to ordering the terms, the selection of the correct, appropriate term when translating medical texts from one language into another. The languages under the consideration have intra-terminological, inter-terminological, inter-system homonymy. Besides, there are homonymic relations between eponyms in all languages. In the medical terminology of the English language, the following groups of homonyms are found: absolute, incomplete, partial (homophones, homographs) homonyms. Incomplete homonyms are divided into lexical and lexical and grammatical, and partial homonyms are divided into lexical, lexical and grammatical, grammatical (homonyms-converse terms). Homophones, in turn, are classified into homophones and near homophones. Homonyms are classified into homonyms of a high degree of homonymity, homonyms of a medium degree of homonymity, homonyms of a low degree of homonymity in Russian medical terminology. In medical terminology of the Tatar language absolute and incomplete homonyms are distinguished. Incomplete homonyms include homoforms that belong to different parts of speech and homographs. Homographs are rare phenomenon in the medical terminology of the Tatar language. Separately, as a special group, homonyms-converse terms are considered. There are three types of functional shift relations in the Tatar language: syntactic, lexical and semantic, the most common of which is syntactic relation. The phenomenon of homonymy affects the Greek-Latin terminological elements, which are international. Comparative analysis of three languages in the matter of homonyms in medical terminology has shown that English and Tatar languages have more similarities than English and Russian ones and Russian and Tatar ones. The English medical terminology is more replete with homonymous acronyms than Russian and Tatar ones.
The Feminist-Solution Focused Counseling vs. Psychoeducational Model: Which One is Better?
Authors: Sanyata Sigit
Published: November 2020

Feminist-solution focused counseling (F-SFC) refers to the integration of approaches that focuses on the solution and problem. It can be applied to help counselees with any issues on gender inequality. However, the effectiveness of F-SFC compared to the psychoeducational model still needs to be tested. The experimental study was chosen to test whether F-SFC is more effective than the psychoeducational model. The gender equality scale was used for the pre-test and the posttest. The data was collected using the Delphi method to formulate the concept of gender equality. T-test and ANCOVA were utilized to test the hypotheses. The results showed that both F-SFC and psychoeducational model were found effective to help counselees with gender equality issues. The effectiveness of the feminist-solution focused counseling was determined by the consistency of counselor in holding the counseling based upon the guidance of F-SFC. The increases of the understanding about gender equality can be seen from the counselees’ responses of the exceptional questions, miracle questions, scaling questions and coping questions in the counseling process. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the psychoeducational model was determined by the design of materials, media and facilitators.
Roles of Feedback to English Writing Improvement: Thai EFL Novice Writers in Higher Education
Authors: Wichanpricha Thitirat
Published: November 2020

Writing has been the most difficult skill among EFL students for several decades. It inevitably promotes writing feedback and approaches to English writing classroom to minimize students’ errors in their writing draft revision. Hereby, the current study aimed at investigating perceptions towards the three writing features: vocabulary, grammar, and content, and examining the differences of the three assessments including teacher feedback, peer feedback, and self-correction. In addition, the teacher feedback preference as implicit and explicit feedback was determined as well. Participants were 32 first-year undergraduate students majoring in English for International Communication at Rajamangala University of Technology, Lanna Tak, Thailand. The current study employed a mixed-method research approach. Questionnaires and open-ended questions were utilized as research tools. Participants were assigned three genres of writing paragraphs. It took 15 consecutive weeks in providing three different feedback to purposive samples. For every assignment, their peers corrected their first drafts and then they rechecked and edited their output by their own decision. Afterward, the teacher provided both implicit and explicit feedback on the revision process. The data obtained were quantitatively analyzed for mean, standard deviation, and a paired sample t-test which have been deployed to the differences among the three feedback. Correspondingly, all written responses were thematically grouped and transcribed into frequency and percentage. The findings indicated that students mostly expected the teacher to edit their misused words, grammatical errors, and ideas on their drafts. As for the three feedback, most beginning writers particularly believed that teacher feedback, which was followed by self-correction and peer feedback, was much necessary for writing improvement and teachers should edit their redrafts explicitly in an EFL writing classroom.

Published: November 2020

In South Africa, progressive transformative educational interventions have been implemented since the country became a democratic government in 1994. These interventions were meant to eliminate all past colonial and apartheid eras educational segregation laws and policies which denied the black majority access to quality education. This paper explains the intrinsic contents and contexts of these interventions by demonstration how these interventions are being used to redress the past educational segregation and injustices. It highlights that the Constitution provides for the right to education and that other legislation, policies and educational institutions were introduced to enable and ensure the delivery of quality education to learners in order to make them competent and employable in the workplaces and/or to establish their own businesses and be self-employed. The paper concludes that in order to develop capable and competent human capital and resources, access to and delivery of quality education and training are essential potent tools to accomplish this feat.
Interpreting for EFL Speakers in Humanitarian Organizations (MSF- Jordan): Roles and Challenges
Authors: Al-Ramadan Raidah , Al-Abdullah Maram Mufeed
Published: November 2020

This paper sheds light on the subjective experiences of interpreters who work with an international, medical humanitarian organization, namely MSF-Jordan.   The paper seeks to explore the role/s that interpreters identify themselves as performing when working with MSF-Jordan, the challenges they encounter when working for such organizations where most of the officials are EFL speakers, and the strategies they adopt to overcome the challenges. The study uses a qualitative method through conducting interviews in the form of a questionnaire that was sent to seventeen interpreters who worked or still working with MSF-Jordan between 2011-2019. The questionnaire used in this study was developed by Stahuljak and its selection is based on its suitability for the purposes of the current study. Eleven interpreters responded, and the data was analyzed considering the research questions. The results show that interpreters identify themselves as performing the roles of conduits, culture brokers, and other. The interpreters identified challenges related to their lack of experience specifically in specialized terminologies, officials' accents, officials’ speaking pace, their feel of lack of recognition, too much work and having additional tasks other than interpreting. The study further shows that interpreters opt for various strategies to overcome the challenges such as asking for help in relevance to lack of knowledge, asking officials to repeat, guessing, and asking the officials to write down what they say to overcome the impediment of EFL.
Technical accounting: sugar extraction and losses
Authors: de Bruijn Jan Maarten de Bruijn
Published: November 2020

The bought sugar in the processed raw material (either beet or cane) comprises a high financial value and may contribute to somewhere around 50% of the white sugar production costs. It is therefore of the utmost importance to minimize sugar losses along the process and produce as much white sugar as possible from the raw material. This paper explains the principle of technical accounting as tool to control sugar extraction and losses in beet sugar manufacture. The sugar mass balance used to calculate the overall sugar extraction yield, as well as several simple calculations proposed for estimating the different sugar losses (like e.g. extraction (diffusion) losses, infection losses, sugar losses in molasses, etc.) in the subsequent process steps will be explained in detail. Proper technical accounting is considered indispensable for continuous process control and process improvement in pursuit of best-practice operation and cost-leadership.
