In order to use image recognition for the three-dimensional reconstruction of target objects faster and more conveniently, with the help of various machine vision technologies such as mathematical algorithms and machine learning algorithms, it aims to help engineers complete the three-dimensional reconstruction of cone-like aggregate piles. First, under the method based on a genetic algorithm, the proposed method can be used to identify the most common contour segments to deal with the contour recognition of aggregate piles and complete the work of region segmentation. The common fragment illustrates the particular logic contained in the outline. Then, this paper shows that the explicit representation of shape contour contributes to shaping representation and object recognition. Multiple two-dimensional virtual slices are used to divide the target object in the field of view of the binocular camera into multiple cross-sectional areas, so that an appropriate ellipse of the material pile contour curve similar to a cone is obtained to approximately express these cross-sectional areas. Finally, the three-dimensional reconstruction of the surface of the three-dimensional target object is completed by many two-dimensional elliptical slices. Experiments show that the method of three-dimensional reconstruction of images in a rapid and straightforward ability to prove its feasibility of the method.

Published: December 2022

To determine how the anti-lock braking system is implemented, it is necessary to examine how the wheels can be prevented from locking. Depending on how the car's transmission system is designed in braking conditions, if one of the car's wheels has a higher or lower rotational speed than the other wheels, that wheel may be locked. So the first step is to check the condition of each wheel in braking mode. For this purpose, automotive engineers turn to electronics and study the conditions of each wheel using sensors mounted on each wheel. In the next step, the engineers take the wheel out of the critical state by changing the force from the brake. That is, if a wheel spins at a slower speed than other car wheels in braking mode, by reducing the braking force on this wheel, its rotational speed will increase, and the wheel will exit the critical state. In the other case, if a wheel spins faster than other car wheels in braking mode, the rotational speed can be reduced by increasing the braking force on that wheel to get the wheel out of the critical state. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) improves vehicle control during abrupt braking, especially on slippery road surfaces. The purpose of such control is to increase the tensile force of the wheel in the desired direction and, at the same time, the appropriate stability and strength of the vehicle and also to reduce the stopping distance of the vehicle. In this paper, an optimal fuzzy controller is presented. The functional purpose of the anti-lock braking system is to optimally maintain the wheel slip to achieve maximum wheel traction and maximum vehicle deceleration.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate quality of life in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma receiving adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT).
Methods: The records of 156 patients who presented to the Cumhuriyet University Oncology Center between 2010 and 2015, underwent surgery for gastric cancer, and received adjuvant CRT were evaluated retrospectively. The European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and site-specific module for gastric cancer (QLQ-STO22) were administered at four time points.
Results: The patient group comprised 76% men and 24% women with a median age of 61 years (range, 18-88). The most common side effects associated with CRT were Grade 1-2 upper GI symptoms (62%) and grade 1-2 leukopenia (44%). During CRT, 12 patients (8%) discontinued treatment, 25 (16%) lost weight, and 42 (27%) had reduced performance. There was significant worsening in QLQ-C30 global health status and all functional and symptom scale scores at CRT completion. In the QLQ-STO22, all symptoms except dry mouth and hair loss were negatively affected at CRT completion. In general, scores were improved at 1 month after CRT and almost all scores reached baseline level by 6 months. Certain scores were more adversely affected in women (global health status, physical functioning, role functioning, fatigue, pain, and insomnia) and those who lost weight during CRT (emotional functioning).
Conclusion: Although CRT reduces QoL in gastric cancer patients, the effects tend to resolve within 6 months after completing treatment. Female gender and weight loss negatively affected QoL.

Prolonged human-crewed missions on the Moon are foreseen as a gateway for Mars and asteroid colonisation in the next decades. Health risks related to long-time permanence in space have been partially investigated. Hazards due to airborne biological contaminants are possible. A possible way to perform pathogens' inactivation is by employing the shortest wavelength range of Solar ultraviolet radiation, the so-called germicidal range. On Earth, it is totally absorbed by the atmosphere and does not reach the surface. In space, such UV solar component is present and effective germicidal irradiation for airborne pathogens' inactivation can be achieved inside habitable outposts through a combination of highly reflective internal coating and optimised geometry of the air ducts. The Solar Ultraviolet Light Collector for Germicidal Irradiation on the Moon is a project whose aim is to collect Ultraviolet solar radiation and use it as a source to sanitise the re-circulating air of the human outposts. The most favourable positions where to place these collectors are over the peaks at the Moon's poles, which have the peculiarity of being exposed to solar radiation most of the time. On August 2022, NASA communicated to have identified 13 candidate landing regions near the lunar South Pole for Artemis missions. Another advantage of the Moon is its low inclination to the ecliptic, which maintains the Sun’s apparent altitude inside a reduced angular range. For this reason, Ultraviolet solar radiation can be collected through a simplified Sun's tracking collector or even a static collector and used to sanitise the recycled air. Fluid-dynamic and optical simulations have been performed to support the proposed idea. The expected inactivation rates for some airborne pathogens, either common or found on the International Space Station, are reported and compared with the proposed device efficiency. The results show that it is possible to use Ultraviolet solar radiation directly for air sanitation inside the lunar outposts and deliver a healthy living environment to the astronauts.

Chimerism is a widespread phenomenon across the tree of life. It is defined as a multicellular organism composed of cells from other genetically distinct entities. This ability to ‘tolerate’ non-self cells may be linked to susceptibility to diseases like cancer. Here we test whether chimerism is associated with cancers across obligately multicellular organisms in the tree of life. We classified 12 obligately multicellular taxa from lowest to highest chimerism levels based on the existing literature on the presence of chimerism in these species. We then tested for associations of chimerism with tumour invasiveness, neoplasia (benign or malignant) prevalence and malignancy prevalence in 11 terrestrial mammalian species. We found that taxa with higher levels of chimerism have higher tumour invasiveness, though there was no association between malignancy or neoplasia and chimerism among mammals. This suggests that there may be an important biological relationship between chimerism and susceptibility to tissue invasion by cancerous cells. Studying chimerism might help us identify mechanisms underlying invasive cancers and also could provide insights into the detection and management of emerging transmissible cancers.

The period of Islamic growth in Mecca from 610 to 622 AD can becategorized into a full challenges and full obstacles period. The Islamic daâ€™wahdelivered by the Prophet Pbuh often encountered some constraints due to theresistance from the Quraysh leaders. At that time, it was difficult for Qurayshfigures to accept new beliefs, especially since Quraysh had a clan-based socio-cultural system consisting of 14 clans. Of the 14 clans or tribes in Quraish,there was competition for the political influence of Mecca which is recorded inhistory. The purpose of this study is to explain the obstacles to Islamic daâ€™wahin Mecca caused by inter-clan politics among the Quraysh. The method usedin this study is a literature review method using primary sources from Arabic.This study explains that the hindrance to Islamic daâ€™wah in Mecca before theProphetâ€™s Pbuh migration to Medina were caused by socio-cultural factors ofthe people at that time, that is the competition between clans in Quraish.

The method is based on the operation of the hash function hardware unit for calculating the checksum (CS) of useful data. Based on the method, an approach is proposed for correcting erroneous bits in the memory of various computing devices. The method includes an algorithm for detecting and correcting errors, which allows to restore data in memory by calculating their CS with the organization of data storage in the form of a structure. The proposed method enables helps to recognize the object where an error occurred and to recover the erroneous memory bits. The implementation of the data verification algorithm as a system process of the real-time operating system made it possible to automate the process of searching for errors in the background and determine the cause of the failure. The software implementation of the error detection and correction method, without changing the hardware, can be used in the operation of radioelectronic equipment in difficult conditions containing any computing device.

The article proposes to consider the radial structure of the placement of radiating elements in the nodes of a flat equidistant antenna array. The known variants of rectangular and hexagonal structures of elements placement in flat antenna arrays are considered. The main calculated ratios of parameters for the radial structure of the pitch are given as well as the linear distances between the emitters in various orthogonal directions, along the radial and angular components. For the proposed structure, using a specific example of an antenna array consisting of nine circles, with a total number of 180 emitters and a uniform amplitude distribution, the radiation patterns in three-dimensional space are calculated, that are represented on the drawing plane by various sections along the angular coordinate φ with a step of 150. The proposed radial structure, unlike the known ones, ensures the identity of the DN with minimal discrepancies from each other in different planes φ at the level of -35 dB.

Systems with multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) play a key role in modern wireless communication devices. MIMO are used in wireless networks to increase channel throughput and transmission reliability. The implementation of the MIMO system will speed up research in the field of improving communication systems. In this article, we present a system-level analysis of a block level analog RF receiver in a MIMO system in accordance with the performance requirements described in the 3GPP Long-Term Evolution standard. An analytical study of the analog receiving part was carried out. The results show that the proposed system architecture satisfies the given requirements with a good margin. Numerical simulation of the operation of the 44 MIMO system in the line-of sight environments was performed. Taking into account the influence of only the noise of the receiver, a curve is obtained that determines the dependence of the error probability on the distance between the transmitter and receiver. Using this curve, it is possible to determine the distance corresponding to a given error probability for given aperture sizes of the transmitting and receiving arrays.

A signal timing calculation method to control power switches of bidirectional switching converter (SC) with high efficiency is proposed. The method is applicable for MOSFET-based cascaded boost-buck converter, which has a negative offset current flow at the beginning of each conversion period. This current allows to perform turning on switches under zerovoltage and zero current switching condition to minimize switching losses. Meanwhile, the delay time between halfbridge transistors’ switching points is needed, when transistors’ output capacitances recharging takes place with following anti parallel body diode of transistor is being turned on unlocking. A proposed method is based on a switching delay time of input stage transistors valuation for the worst case of SC’s components’ parameters scatter, and provides guaranteed turning on of the upper transistor of the input stage under zero voltage and zero current condition. A clarified offset current calculation method is provided which introduces described time delays and SC’s input voltage.

The aim of this article is to summarise the factors that influence the occurrence of complications after surgical extraction of teeth in horses. This is influenced not only by the choice of method, but also by the age of the horse, the position of the tooth, the experience of the person performing the procedure and the available diagnostics methods. It should be emphasised that the procedure is performed only when there is no possibility of further conservative treatment and an increasing clinical condition may be an important risk factor for complications. Further studies focusing on the topic are needed to fully assess the number of complications and the links between their occurrence and the relevant factor.

Published: December 2022

Cocoa plantations have employed thousands of farmer families throughout Indonesia, as well as have been the third largest export among the plantation sub-sector after rubber and oil palm. Therefore, the potential for the development of the cocoa industry as one of the drivers of growth and income distribution is very open. Cocoa bean production in Indonesia continues to increase, but the quality produced is still diverse such as less fermented, not dry enough, uniform bean size, high skin content, high acidity, and very diverse flavors. In this research, efforts to overcome these problems are accomplished by designing a cocoa bean sorting machine that can separate clean cocoa beans and root debris from cocoa beans so as it is expected to make it easier for cocoa farmers, workers, entrepreneurs and industries to more easily get a cocoa bean sorting machine so that the quality of cocoa beans improves and their selling price increases. Seeing these challenges, the authors took the initiative to create a new design a cocoa bean sorting machine with a simpler and more precise design.

In his answer, which is one of his most comprehensive analyses of the imagination, Augustine shows that our imaginative impressions are fundamentally dependent on the senses, and significantly, he defines – as Plotinus before him – the image as a «blow» (plaga) received from the senses. Under these conditions, how can we account for the fact that we sometimes imagine things that we have never perceived? To solve this problem, Augustine establishes a tripartition of the images, according to whether they are «impressed» by things we sense (sensis rebus), things we fancy (putatis), or things we reason (ratis). In the first case, we remember our perceptions. The formation of the other two types of images can be explained by the reconfiguration of memories, according to a process which is quickly presented. This article addresses three difficult points: (1) the demonstration by a reductio ad absurdum of the fundamental dependence of imagination on vision (§3); (2) the classification of the different kinds of images and more particularly the nature of the images of the third kind; (3) the final argument against the existence of a priori images, which apparently involves the soul of the world.
The De anima Tradition In Early Franciscan Thought. A Case Study In Avicenna’s Reception
Authors: Schumacher Lydia
Published: December 2022

In the 12th and early 13th centuries, we witness a steady rise in the level of sophistication with which scholars analysed the nature of the rational soul. This increase was undoubtedly attributable to the translation movement of the period, which made many Greek and Arabic philosophical texts avail-able in Latin for the first time. This paper will show how the introduction of Avicenna’s De anima in particular mediated readings of Aristotle as well as Augustine in the period of the Summa’s au-thorship, specifically, as regards its account of the soul, its relationship to the body, and its cognitive operations. In this way, I will illuminate the extent to which the reading of Avicenna shaped funda-mentally the ways in which the Franciscan tradition came to construe human nature
Seeing the Invisible: Theory of Vision in Hildegard of Bingen’s Scivias II.6
Authors: Barash Yael
Published: December 2022

Augustine’s followers – Hildegard of Bingen, among them – inherited an unclarity about the possi-bility of knowing the invisible God through the visible nature. On the one hand, Augustine discussed how the physical visible world points to God as its creator. On the other hand, he demonstrated that knowledge derived from sensory perceptions of the visible is limited and inferior to inner learning. Although Hildegard embraced Augustine’s opinion that sensory perceptions are limited, she still con-sidered them important for believers. Vision 6 in Scivias II depicts a complex relationship between the visible and the invisible with regard to the Eucharist: Christ’s blood and body are not only superi-or to the wine and the bread, but are also identical to the latter and complete it. Thus, visible objects are not mere creations of the invisible but also reflect the invisible reality. In the first two sections of this article, I examine these theological dissimilarities. The last sections of the article suggest that the importance of the visible affected the structure of Vision II.6. Moreover, the illustrations of Vision II.6 present the complex relationship between the visible and the invisible. These illustrations display how an invisible concept may be reflected in a visible depiction
