Land use/land cover change detection through temporal imageries and its implications in water induced disaster in Triyuga watershed, east Nepal
Authors: Choudhary Rabindra , Pathak Dinesh
Published: May 2019

Land use and land cover is an important component in understanding the interactions of the human activities with the environment. Land use planning are widely recognized as key non-structural risk mitigation measures. In the present study, decadal land use changes in the Triyuga watershed has been assessed for the period between 1980 and 2015. Satellite images of Landsat (ETM, TM and OLI) have been used to prepare land use maps for respective period. The relationship between disaster loss, land use and meteorological factor (rainfall) has been evaluated. Significant correlation between the parameters has been obtained.
GIS based study on liquefaction-induced soil subsidence, a case from Urayasu area, Chiba, Japan
Authors: Pokhrel Rama Mohan , Kiyota Takashi
Published: May 2019

Urayasu City in Chiba prefecture, Japan, which is composed of young reclaimed land. Following the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake (M=9), severe liquefaction-induced ground subsidence was extensively observed in this young filled land. The major problems associated with liquefaction and ground subsidence like tilting of houses, buckling of roads and lifelines cut off were commonly observed. Therefore, a detailed study on possibility and amount of ground subsidence is essential to carry out in such area. In this paper, a variation of ground subsidence is studied after severe liquefaction takes place in an earthquake. Randomly distributed borehole locations were selected and calculated the liquefaction potential for each boreholes. Geostatistical method of interpolation a kriging method was applied to attain a spatial variation of liquefaction potential within the area by using selected borehole locations. The ground subsidence was estimated by using airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) images before and after the earthquake which gives the spatial distribution of soil subsidence map. The liquefaction potential value was picked up from the liquefaction potential distribution map and the subsidence value of the corresponding points were picked up from the ground subsidence map. By comparing these two values the relationship between liquefaction potential and ground subsidence has been developed.
Geological mapping in the Nepal Himalaya: importance and challenges for underground structures
Authors: Sunuwar S. C.
Published: May 2019

Geological mapping is very important technique to predict geological condition for underground structures. It helps to construct geological model for site selection and designing of any underground structures. Geological uncertainty is directly proportional to the accuracy of geological mapping. More accurate geological mapping resulted fewer uncertainties. Precise delineation of faults, shear/weak zones and water bearing zones is important part of the geological mapping to predict uncertainties. Geological mapping to predict geological condition for underground structures is a challenge in the tectonically active Nepal Himalaya due to thrusting, faulting, folding and reverse metamorphism nature of rocks with difficult terrain and high overburden. The mapping for underground structures is mostly focus on rock mass properties, faults, weak/shear zones, fractured zone, joints, folds, weathering depth and ground water bearing zones. This paper highlights importance of geological mapping and challenges for underground structures with case studies of uncertainties faced due to poor geological mapping.
Erosional unroofing of Himalaya in far western Nepal: a detrital zircon U-Pb geochronology and petrography study
Authors: Baral Upendra , Lin Ding , Paudayal Khum N. , Chamlagain Deepak , Muhammad Qasim
Published: May 2019

Since the collision between the Indian and Asian plates, several peripheral foreland basin were formed, and started to accumulate the sediments from the hinterland Himalayan orogeny. The sediments deposited at the northern tip of the Greater India have been uplifted, exhumed after the activation of several south propagating thrusts and finally transported to the foreland basin by southward flowing fluvial system. We present petrography and detrital zircon dating for the interpretation of possible provenance of the Neogene Siwalik foreland basin sediments in far western Nepal. The QFL ternary plot for provenance analysis show a 'recycled orogeny' field for the studied sandstone samples, indicating Tethys Himalaya, Higher Himalaya and Lesser Himalaya as the source of the foreland basin sediments. The detrital zircon U-Pb ages of the studied samples have shown that during the time of deposition there was dominant numbers of detritus supplied from the Tethys and upper Lesser Himalaya. Subsequently the amount of the Higher and Lower Lesser Himalaya increased during the time of deposition of the Middle Siwalik.
Climatic records and linkage along an altitudinal gradient in the southern slope of Nepal Himalaya
Authors: Dawadi Binod
Published: May 2019

To validate the climatic linkages under different topographic conditions, observational climate data at four automated weather stations (AWS) in different elevations, ranging from 130 m asl. to 5050 m asl., on the southern slope of the Nepal Himalayas was examined. the variation of means and distribution of daily, 5-days, 10-days, and monthly average/sum of temperature/ precipitation between the stations in the different elevation was observed. Despite these differences, the temperatures records are consistent in different altitudes, and highly correlated to each other while the precipitation data shows comparatively weaker correlation. The slopes (0.79-1.18) with (R2 >0.64) in the regression models for high Mountain to high Himalaya except in November and 0.56-1.14 (R2 >0.50) for mid-hill and high Mountain except January, December, June indicate the similar rate of fluctuation of temperature between the stations in the respective region. These strong linkages and the similar range of fluctuation of temperature in the different elevation indicate the possibilities of their use of lower elevation temperature data to represent the higher elevation sites for paleoclimatic calibration. However, the associations of precipitation between the stations at the different elevation are not as strong as the temperature due to heterogeneous topographical features and steep altitudinal contrast.
Reactivated normal-sense shear zones in the core of the Greater Himalayan Sequence, Solukhumbu District, Nepal
Authors: Hubbard Mary , Lageson David R. , Bhattarai Roshan Raj
Published: May 2019

We present preliminary observations from the Solukhumbu region of Nepal, coupled with structures described in the literature, to suggest the importance of structural and metamorphic discontinuities within the Himalayan metamorphic core (Greater Himalayan Sequence) and reactivation of at least one of these thrust discontinuities with a normal (down-to-the-north) sense of displacement. Based on preliminary geochronologic data, development of these discontinuities may have evolved over time. In the Dudh Kosi Valley near Ghat, gneissic rocks and pegmatites exhibit tectonized fabrics and yield argon cooling ages of ~4 Ma for K-feldspar and ~9 Ma for biotite. Just north of Khumjung there is a prominent topographic break from which sheared gneissic rocks indicate a top-to-the-north, or normal, sense of shear. Near Pangboche, a repeated section of kyanitebearing rocks interleaved with sillimanite-muscovite schist suggests structural imbrication and/or interleaved retrograde metamorphism. Below the peaks of Nuptse and Lhotse, the Khumbu thrust (Searle 1999) appears to form the floor of a thick succession of leucogranite sills. We suggest that these discontinuities were formed over time, possibly from early MCT and STDS deformation at ~21 Ma to as recent as ~4 Ma, and need to be considered in kinematic models that combine channel flow with critical taper and tectonic denudation. Moreover, orogenic collapse in the Himalayan core may be migrating southward through time as the orogenic wedge continues to uplift in response to underthrusting of India and southward propagation of the Main Frontal Thrust system.

The purpose of this study is to distinguish the organizational structure performance of the Natuna District Health Office as a regional government organization that carries out the health sector authority in border areas or outermost islands in Indonesia. The research used descriptive method in a qualitative approach and involved 12 informants which were analyzed in depth so as to explain the exact performance of the organizational structure. The results of the study explain that as an area that faces pressure from problems that are different from other regions in Indonesia, Natuna regency always allocates the good financial resources. However, the organizational structure performance which describes the organization and also the management still requires serious attention and continuous improvement efforts.
Introduction
Authors: Craig George
Published: May 2019

In this brief introduction to the Symposium to celebrate the 75th birthday of Gabriel Josipovici, held at the University of Sussex on 10 September 2016, the author recalls his first meeting with Gabriel during the 1960s, when literary criticism was dominated by a particular English perspective. As a cultural outsider, Gabriel introduced new approaches, particularly from France, that became part of transformative changes to the discipline as taught at the university.
Britain versus Modernism
Authors: Crangle Sara
Published: May 2019

Written against the backdrop of Brexit, this short article examines the long history of
British disregard for modernist and experimental avant-garde aesthetics, one frequently
commented upon by critics and artists over the past century. In What Ever Happened to
Modernism? Josipovici added his voice to this chorus, but his focus on British insularity
went unremarked by reviewers. In addition to considering this more recent text, the
article lingers over Josipovici’s ‘English Studies and European Culture’, an essay written
in the 1970s that presciently explores the symbiotic and primary relationship between
England and the continent.
On Getting It Right
Authors: Davies Paul
Published: May 2019

This article focuses on some of the themes and questions at the heart of Gabriel
Josipovici’s fictional and critical writing, most notably the idea that reading is a matter
of participation rather than understanding. It asks what is distinctive about Josipovici’s
relationship with other philosophically inclined critics and theorists. It offers a participatory
reading of one of his critical writings demonstrating the care with which it is
arranged. The article concludes with a brief consideration of how other writers and
works are brought into Josipovici’s fiction.
Gabriel Josipovici at 75
Authors: Lane Jeremy
Published: May 2019

This article, as a tribute to Gabriel Josipovici, describes his impact on the author over
many decades, initially as his teacher and thesis supervisor, later as colleague and friend
at the University of Sussex. This impact included broadening his knowledge of contemporary
French literary critics and of writers engaged with criticism, and opening up
European dimensions to otherwise insular English academic approaches to literature. A
study of Josipovici’s novel Migrations (1977) shows how it manages to explore the many
dimensions of the condition of migrancy, even though held here within the bounds of
a novel that is tightly packed but opens into a whole world.

Criticizing Israel Is Not Antisemitism
Authors: Bindman Geoffrey
Published: May 2019

Antisemitism is hostility to Jews as Jews, but defining antisemitism is complicated by
Zionism and the existence of the State of Israel. The fundamental right to freedom of
expression is threatened by the misuse of a definition of antisemitism and claimed
examples of antisemitic conduct that encourage confusion between antisemitism and
criticism of the policies and practices of the Israeli government and its institutions. The
right to express criticism and to debate such policies and practices must not be suppressed
by reliance on unsubstantiated claims of antisemitism.

Anaemia in pregnancy increases the risk of complications in pregnancy and childbirth, e.i. maternal death, prematurity, LBW, and perinatal mortality. Many factors cause anaemia, including when pregnant woman got exposure from tar, free radicals and carbonmonoxide contained in cigarette smoke that is inhaled directly by unintentionally. CO is directly bound in maternal hemoglobin so the ability of hemoglobin to be much greater binds CO than oxygen. Inhaling tobacco smoke in passive smoking, has far lower levels of folic acid, exposure to acid smoking causes a disruption of iron metabolism in red bloodcells. Iron very useful in the formation of hemoglobin, deficiencies of folic acid and iron can cause defects in the fetus and anaemia. Research purpose to know the incidence of anaemia in pregnant women passive smokers in Banjarmasin City Health Center 2016. Research method uses a case control study design. Population is all pregnant women in Banjarmasin City Health Center 2016. Samples were 120 people, composed of 60 cases pregnant women anaemia, and control were 60 pregnant women anaemia which doesn’t meet the criteria of inclusion and exclusion. Results showed 36 pregnant women were exposed to cigarette smoke, 24 respondents (40%) had a case group and 12 respondents (20%) in control group. There is a meaningful relationship between pregnant women passive smokers with incidence of anemia, value of p = 0.028 0.05 and OR α < 2.67 (CI-6.034 1.178). Exposure to cigarette smoke are at risk of 2.67 times against the incidence of anaemia pregnant woman than not exposed.

Published: May 2019

Animals therapy is one of the types of therapy, which includes the use of animals as a means of treatment. The purpose of such therapy is to improve the patient's social, emotional, or cognitive functions. It is distinguished directed animal therapy (the use of specially trained animals for developed therapeutic programs) and non-directional (interaction with animals at home). Animal therapy methods, in contrast to other rehab techniques, allow not only to reduce muscle tone, increase the volume of passive movements, acquire new active motor skills, and, in addition to kinesiological rehabilitation effects, is intended to perform the following functions: psycho-physiological function; psychotherapeutic function; rehabilitation function; function of satisfaction of the need for competence; self-realization function; communication function. Hypotherapy is one of the most effective methods of animal therapy. The restorative effect of horse riding for patients is based on the use of the function of motion, which has for man not only biological, but also social significance. Hippotherapy combines kinesitherapy, physiotherapy, cognitive action on the emotions and the psyche of the patient, contributes to the destruction of pathological efferent impulses. Dolphin therapy for the rehabilitation of children with post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression, emotional disorders, diseases of the locomotorium, etc., is actively developing in many countries, especially in the coastal countries, including Ukraine, since the 70s of the last century. The positive effect of felinotherapy in children with enuresis, logoneurosis, neurasthenia was established. Felinotherapy helps to lower blood pressure, normalizes the work of the heart, relieves articular and headaches. Cats accelerate recovery after injuries, cure internal inflammatory diseases. Canisterapy (treatment by dogs) is indicated for gout, rheumatism, liver and bladder disorders. In canisterapy, the breeds of companion dogs are most often used: labradors, collie, pugs etc. In addition to the described methods, there are still many methods of animal therapies. These are human contacts with reptiles, a dream on bees of honey bees, and others.
Cholesterol: for and against
Authors: Koropetska N. Yu. , Ostapyuk Yu. I.
Published: May 2019

The article deals with the value of cholesterol, as an essential component of each cell of the human body and its role in the synthesis process and as source material for male and female sex hormones, bile, acids, and vitamin D. Increased level of cholesterol in the body is a pathological phenomenon, leading to such diseases as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, liver and kidney disease, pancreatic disease, diabetes, obesity, and others. Lack of cholesterol, considering its multifaceted nature and the participation in the vital processes of the body leads to frequent depression, weakening of the immune system, increased fatigability, decreased libido and the development of other diseases. It has been demonstrated that 80% of cholesterol is produced by the human body; therefore it is not necessary to associate its excess or lack in the body with the quantity in food. Therefore, normally, our body regulates the level of cholesterol itself, keeping it within 5 mmol/l but in incorrect nutrition it is possible to increase its amount in the bloodstream. To reduce the cholesterol concentration in the body, it has been indicated which products should be restricted, and which ones to increase in the diet.
Women Can’t Have It All: Benevolent Sexism Predicts Attitudes Toward Working (vs. Stay-at-Home) Mothers
Authors: Szastok Marta , Kossowska Małgorzata , Pyrkosz-Pacyna Joanna
Published: May 2019

The aim of the present paper was to test differences in perceptions towards a woman who took a 3-month maternity leave (a working mother) as opposed to a 3-year maternity leave (a stay-at-home mother), and then to apply the ambivalent sexism theory to predict those differences. We expected that in Poland, where motherhood is highly appreciated, it is especially benevolent (not hostile) sexism that predicts less positive attitudes toward working mothers, compared to stay-at-home mothers. In two studies, we found that the working mother was perceived as less warm, less effective as a parent and less interpersonally appealing and more successful at work. Additionally, although the stay-at-home mother was evaluated as less successful at work, she was not perceived as less competent. We discuss this as a reflection of the “Mother-Pole” phenomenon, where mothers in Poland are perceived as not only kind, but also competent. Afterward, we showed that benevolent (but not hostile) sexism predicts differences in perceiving the stay-at-home mother and working mother. Participants higher in benevolent sexism rated the stay-at-home mother as warmer, more parenting-effective and more interpersonally appealing compared to the working mother, while participants lower in benevolent sexism perceived them equally well. Studies suggest that benevolent sexism predicts a more positive perception of traditional mothers (as opposed to nontraditional mothers), and at the same time, maintains the status quo of traditional gender relations.
Work Meaning in Self and World Perspective: A New Outlook on the WAMI Scale
Authors: Puchalska-Kamińska Malwina , Czerw Agnieszka , Roczniewska Marta
Published: May 2019

Recent research demonstrates that finding the meaning of work (MW) is a growing need among employees. It thus seems vital to examine the predictors and outcomes of meaningful work with the aim of identifying practical implications for employees and organizations in this area. However, there are several different concepts of MW and only a handful of published measures. Using the framework of the big two we proposed and developed a two-dimensional model of MW: agentic work meaning (the self-perspective) and communal work meaning (the world perspective). The aim of our research was to adapt the Work and Meaning Inventory (WAMI; Steger, Dik, & Duffy, 2012) into Polish and to verify the hypothesis of a two-dimensional model of MW, which is a new perspective on this scale. The three studies conducted amongst employees in Poland (N = 403) supported our ideas. First, confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the two-dimensional model of MW in WAMI-PL, i.e., meaning in the self and in world perspectives. In line with previous studies on MW, these two factors correlated positively with meaning in life, work well-being (work engagement, organizational commitment) and positive work behaviors (in-role and extra-role behaviors, job crafting). Moreover, we demonstrated a relationship between MW and the eudemonic indicators of well-being in the workplace, such as fit and personal development, positive relationships at work, and contribution to the organization. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of this research.
40 godina azitromicina

Azitromicin je polusintetski makrolidni antibiotik koji se nakon 40-godišnjega uspjeha i dalje poima zlatnim standardom za vrstu antibiotika nazvanih azalidi. Kad se nakon 1970-ih radilo na razvijanju novoga antibiotika koji bi snažnije od eritromicina A i klaritromicina djelovao na Gram-negativne bakterije, te bio stabilan u kiseloj okolini i dobro se apsorbirao, u Hrvatskoj je 1979–81. novi makrolidni antibiotik sintetizirao istraživački tim zagrebačke farmaceutske tvrtke PLIVA na čelu s dr. sc. S. Đokićem. U članku se prikazuje cjelovit prinos PLIVINA istraživačkoga tima otkriću i proizvodnji azitromicina vlastitim tehnološkim postupkom. Za ocjenu ozračja u kojem su PLIVINI znanstvenici radili valja se prisjetiti prikaza njihovih istraživanja, oslanjajući se na doprinos svjetskoj farmaceutskoj baštini kroz povijest tijeka istraživanja makrolidnih antibiotika. Sustavnim bilješkama daje se pregled tijeka istraživanja azitromicina, ističe se doprinos prof. Nenada Bana u otkriću načina vezanja azitromicina na ribosome, a pretraživanjem najranijih i ujedno prikupljanjem novijih zapisa upućuje se na protuupalni učinak azitromicina te se provodi valorizacija novijih podataka o njegovoj upotrebi.
Od Tehničke enciklopedije do Hrvatske tehničke enciklopedije
Authors: Jecić Zdenko
Published: May 2019

Hrvatska tehnička baština, povijest i sadašnje stanje tehnike u Hrvatskoj razmjerno su slabo istraženi i dokumentirani u literaturi, a napose nedostaju pregledna, sintetska djela o tom području. Takvo se stanje djelomice odrazilo i u suvremenoj hrvatskoj enciklopedistici. Za razliku od Pomorske ili Šumarske enciklopedije Leksikografskoga zavoda (LZ), Tehnička enciklopedija (TE), koja je kao kapitalno djelo u 13 svezaka dugo bila nezaobilazna literatura studenata tehničkih fakulteta, usredotočila se na makropedijsko tumačenje općih tehničkih pojmova, dok je sustavna obradba povijesti i sadašnjega stanja u Hrvatskoj izostala. Novi projekt LZ-a Hrvatska tehnička enciklopedija (HTE) nastavlja se na TE te predstavlja njezinu nadopunu, uključujući nacionalne teme, obrađujući u člancima opće pojmove, biografije, poduzeća te ustanove, časopise i udruge, nastojeći pritom tekstove prilagoditi najširem krugu korisnika. Projekt HTE oslanja se na vrijednosti tradicionalnoga enciklopedičkoga koncepta organizacije i diseminacije konsolidiranoga znanja, prilagođene digitalnomu dobu, te usporedno dolazi u tiskanom i mrežnom izdanju. Očekuje se da će takav pristup pridonijeti boljemu poznavanju hrvatske tehnike, a time i njezinoj boljoj percepciji u kulturnom i društvenom kontekstu.

Za elektrifikaciju osnovao je Bansko električno poduzeće (BEP) u listopadu 1937. i bio mu predsjednik do tragične pogibije u rujnu 1939. Zajedno s organizacijom Seljačka sloga uspio je u dvije godine elektrificirati općinu Vojni Križ, započeti izradu projekta hidrocentrale u Triblju i idejno zasnovati elektrifikaciju željezničke pruge Sušak–Zagreb. Cijenu elektrifikacije seoskih domaćinstava smanjio je 5–6 puta! Vlasnici elektrifikacijskih poduzeća pobojali su se da će ostati bez planirane dobiti, pa su angažirali inženjera Ivu Radulovića, direktora Elektre–Sušak, da održi stručna predavanja u kojima će diskreditirati postavke elektrifikacije BEP-a. Razvila se žestoka novinska polemika Plohl–Radulović koja je detaljno opisana u članku.

The Cinematic Representation of the Wild Child: Considering L'enfant sauvage (1970)
Authors: Brodski Michael
Published: May 2019

In examining François Truffaut's L'enfant sauvage (1970), I will consider the feral child Victor (Jean-Pierre Cargol) with regard to the film's cinematic portrayal as typifying the cultural construction of a child. Following James R. Kincaid, the figure of the child can be seen as a ‘hollow category’, seemingly featureless in its alleged innocence. As a result, it functions as an adult ‘repository of cultural needs or fears’. For this reason, the child, and especially the feral child, can serve as a projection screen for a variety of different and even opposed questions and symbolic constructions. The film effects this subliminally through the portrayal of Victor. This is mainly achieved by constantly shifting between a Romantic discourse of the noble savage and child of nature and the Lockean empiricist view, with the infant's mind as a tabula rasa condition and the doctor Jean Itard's (played by Truffaut himself) consequent need to educate Victor.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the marginal fit changes between three- and four- unit’s metal ceramic fixed partial dentures (FPD’s) fabricated by Lost Wax (LW), CAM Metal Milling (MM) and (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) DMLS metal framework techniques after porcelain firing cycles (PFC).Methods: A total of 60 stainless steel three and four unit FPD’s models were fabricated. Specimens were randomly divided into three groups to fabricate metal ceramic FPD’s frameworks with LW, MM and DMLS techniques. Before and after PFC, cross-sections from silicone replicas were obtained, sectioned, examined and measured with a light microscope. The statistical analysis was done with Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks tests. Results were evaluated at 95 % of confidence interval and p<0.05 level.Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the three and four unit of FPD’s, before PFC for LW and MM (p:0.000) and DMLS (p:0.019)’s groups and only DMLS (p:0.006)’s group was statistically significant after PFC. The mean marginal gaps of LW technique was higher than the MM and DMLS’s techniques before PFC. After PFC, DMLS’s technique results were higher than LW and MM technique but, no statistically significant difference was found between the marginal gap values of the three and neither for four units of DMLS’s FPD’s.Conclusion: PFC decreases the mean marginal gap of the LW and MM group, but, there was a slight increase for DMLS group. However, all the marginal gap values obtained were in clinical acceptance level for three and four-units FPD’s for all tested specimens.

Copper wire is a major conduction material that carries a variety of signals in industry. Presently, automatic wire elongating machines to produce very thin wiresare available for manufacturing. However, the original wires for the elongating process to thin sizes need heating, drawing and then threadingthrough the die molds by the manpower before the machine starts to work. This procedure repeatsuntil the wire threads through all various die molds. To replace the manpower, this paper aims to develop an automatic wire die molds threading system for the wire elongation process. Three pneumatic grippers are designed in the proposed system. The first gripper is used to clamp the wire. The second gripper fixed in the rotating mechanism is to draw the heated wire. The third gripper is used to move the wire for threading through the dies mold. The force designed for drawing the wire can be adjusted via the gear ratio. The experimental results confirm that the proposed system can accomplish the wiredies mold threading processin term of robustness, rapidness and accuracy.

Gastrointestinal cancers (GC) are malignancies involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and accessory organs of the digestive system, including the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder. GC is one of the most common cancers and contributes to more cancer-related deaths than cancers of any other system in the human body. Causative factors of GC have been consistently attributed to infections, smoking, an unhealthy diet, obesity, diabetes, and genetic factors. More recently, aberrant epigenetic regulation of gene expression has emerged as a new, fundamental pathway in GC pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize the role of the macroH2A histone family in GI cell function and malignant transformation, and highlight how this histone family may open up novel biomarkers for cancer detection, prediction, and response to treatment.

Hybrid nanostructures made of gallium oxide (Ga2O3) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) are synthesized using a facile hydrothermal process method, where the Ga2O3 nanostructures are well dispersed on the rGO surface. The formed Ga2O3-rGO hybrids are characterized via Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a diffuse reflectance Ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectrophotometer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), and photoluminescence (PL). Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used for analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The photocatalytic activity of the hybrid nanostructures is evaluated via the degradation of the 2-butanone, representing the VOCs under 254-nm radiation in the atmosphere. That activity is then compared to that of the Ga2O3 and commercial TiO2-P25. The Ga2O3-rGO hybrid shows enhanced photocatalytic degradation of 2-butanone compared to Ga2O3 and TiO2-P25, which is attributed to the enhanced specific surface area. The results indicate that the Ga2O3-rGO hybrid could be a promising method of enhancing photocatalytic activity and thereby effectively degrading VOCs, including the 2-butanone.
Evaluation of Electric Field and Space Charge Dynamics in Dielectric under DC Voltage with Superimposed Switching Impulse
Authors: Kwon Ik-Soo , Kim Sun-Jin , Asif Mansoor , Lee Bang-Wook
Published: May 2019

The influx of a switching impulse during DC steady-state operations causes severe electrical stress on the insulation of HVDC cables. Thus, the insulation should be designed to withstand a superimposed switching impulse. All major manufacturers of DC cables perform superimposed switching impulse breakdown tests for prequalification. However, an experimental approach to study space charge dynamics in dielectrics under a switching impulse superposed on DC voltage has not been reported yet. This is because, unlike the DC stress, it is not possible to study the charge dynamics experimentally under complex stresses, such as switching impulse superposition. Hence, in order to predict and investigate the breakdown characteristics, it is necessary to obtain accurate electric field distribution considering space charge dynamics using a numerical approach. Therefore, in this paper, a numerical study on the switching impulse superposition was carried out. The space charge dynamics and its distribution within the dielectric under DC stress were compared with those under a superimposed switching impulse using a bipolar charge transport (BCT) model. In addition, we estimated the effect of a superimposed switching impulse on a DC electric field distribution. It was concluded that the temperature conditions of dielectrics have a significant influence on electric field and space charge dynamics.

Temperature is one of the most prominent factors affecting production operations, predicting the accurate wellbore-formation temperature in a water-flooding production well is of great importance for multiple applications. In this paper, an improved coupled model of oil–water two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer was developed to investigate the transient temperature behavior for a producing well with multiple pay zones. Firstly, a novel method was derived to simulate the water saturation and the water breakthrough time (WBT) for tubing, which are key monitoring parameters in the process of water flooding. Then, we incorporated water saturation and an equation set for immiscible displacement to calculate the seepage velocity and the pressure of the two-phase fluid in the pay zones. Next, the upward seepage velocity of the tubing fluid change with depth was focused on, and the proper coupled initial and boundary conditions are presented at the interfaces, therewith the implicit finite difference method was used to compute the transient temperature with the input of the seepage characteristics for the reservoirs. Meanwhile, the validity of the proposed model has been verified by the typical model. Finally, a sensitivity analysis delineated that the production rate and the production time had a significant impact on the tubing fluid temperature. The overburden was hotter with a lower volumetric heat capacity or a higher thermal conductivity. In addition, the sensitivity of the porosity and the irreducible water saturation to formation temperature was significantly different before and after the WBT. The coupled model presented herein helps to advance the transient seepage characteristics analysis of pay zones, the precise temperature prediction is very useful for reservoir characterization and production analysis purposes and provides insight for designing the exploitation scheme in deep reservoirs and geothermal resources.
Sliding Mode Observer-Based Parameter Identification and Disturbance Compensation for Optimizing the Mode Predictive Control of PMSM

Published: May 2019

This paper reports on the optimal speed control problem in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems. To improve the speed control performance of a PMSM system, a model predictive control (MPC) method is incorporated into the control design of the speed loop. The control performance of the conventional MPC for PMSM systems is destroyed because of system disturbances such as parameter mismatches and external disturbances. To implement the MPC method in practical applications and to improve its robustness, a compensated scheme with an extended sliding mode observer (ESMO) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, for observing if and when the system model is mismatched, the ESMO is regarded as an extended sliding mode parameter observer (ESMPO) to identify the main mechanical parameters. The accurately obtained mechanical parameters are then updated into the MPC model. In addition, to overcome the influence of external load disturbances on the system, the observer is regarded as an extended sliding mode disturbance observer (ESMDO) to observe the unknown disturbances and provide a feed-forward compensation item based on the estimated disturbances to the model predictive speed controller. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed ESMO can accurately observe the mechanical parameters of the system. Moreover, the optimized MPC improves the dynamic response behavior and exhibits a satisfactory disturbance rejection performance.

Published: May 2019

Passive distribution networks are being converted into active ones by incorporating distributed means of energy generation, consumption, and storage, and the formation of so-called microgrids (MGs). As the next generation of MGs, reconfigurable microgrids (RMGs) are still in early phase studies, and require further research. RMGs facilitate the integration of distributed generators (DGs) into distribution systems and enable a reconfigurable network topology by the help of remote-controlled switches (RCSs). This paper proposes a day-ahead operational scheduling framework for RMGs by simultaneously making an optimal reconfiguration plan and dispatching controllable distributed generation units (DGUs) considering power loss minimization as an objective. A hybrid approach combining conventional particle swarm optimization (PSO) and selective PSO (SPSO) methods (PSO&SPSO) is suggested for solving this combinatorial, non-linear, and NP-hard complex optimization problem. PSO-based methods are primarily considered here for our optimization problem, since they are efficient for power system optimization problems, easy to code, have a faster convergence rate, and have a substructure that is suitable for parallel calculation rather than other optimization methods. In order to evaluate the suggested method’s performance, it is applied to an IEEE 33-bus radial distribution system that is considered as an RMG. One-hour resolution of the simultaneous network reconfiguration (NR) and the optimal dispatch (OD) of distributed DGs are carried out prior to this main study in order to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach by comparing relevant recent studies in the literature.

Published: May 2019

This paper presents a review of 71 research papers related to a distance-based clustering (DBC) technique for efficiently assessing reservoir uncertainty. The key to DBC is to select a few models that can represent hundreds of possible reservoir models. DBC is defined as a combination of four technical processes: distance definition, distance matrix construction, dimensional reduction, and clustering. In this paper, we review the algorithms employed in each step. For distance calculation, Minkowski distance is recommended with even order due to sign problem. In the case of clustering, K-means algorithm has been commonly used. DBC has been applied to various reservoir types from channel to unconventional reservoirs. DBC is effective for unconventional resources and enhanced oil recovery projects that have a significant advantage of reducing the number of reservoir simulations. Recently, DBC studies have been performed with deep learning algorithms for feature extraction to define a distance and for effective clustering.

Published: May 2019

Thermal transient testing is widely used for LED characterization, derivation of compact models, and calibration of 3D finite element models. The traditional analysis of transient thermal measurements yields a thermal model for a single heat source. However, it appears that secondary heat sources are typically present in LED packages and significantly limit the model’s precision. In this paper, we reveal inaccuracies of thermal transient measurements interpretation associated with the secondary heat sources related to the light trapped in an optical encapsulant and phosphor light conversion losses. We show that both have a significant impact on the transient response for mid-power LED packages. We present a novel methodology of a derivation and calibration of thermal models for LEDs with multiple heat sources. It can be applied not only to monochromatic LEDs but particularly also to LEDs with phosphor light conversion. The methodology enables a separate characterization of the primary pn junction thermal power source and the secondary heat sources in an LED package.
