Improving Efficiency of a Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) System by Increasing Coil-Width
Authors: Ghosh Prabhat Chandra
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Efficiency of a wireless power transfer (WPT) system depends on the resonance components and mutual inductance between primary and secondary coils of the transformer. Therefore, design of coils of a transformer is very crucial in WPT system as primary and secondary coils of the WPT transformer are separated by a large air gap. Due to large air gap between primary and secondary coils, coupling coefficient in a WPT system is very low compared to conventional transformer. Therefore, efficiency of the system is very low. In this paper, it is discussed that efficiency of a wireless power transfer (WPT) system can be enhanced by increasing its coil-width.
Implementation on FingerScripter: Converting Fingerspelling into Text and Speech
Authors: Shinde Prof. Abhijit
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Communication might seem a simple act for normal people, but for the ones who are suffering from physical or psychological disability find it very difficult for communicating with others. This communication barrier needs to be removed for which there are various techniques that are being used, out of which some are verbal, non-verbal, visual and written. For mute and deaf people these communication barrier is a major problem which can adversely affect their lives adding to their already challenging lives. For this sign languages are the best possible option, as they bridge the gap between communication of these deaf and mute people with normal people. We have created a machine learning model in order to solve this issue which will identify these signs and interpret them to detect which alphabet is signified. The model will be detecting the American Sign Language (ASL) which is one of the most widely used sign language and a type of fingerspelling. The model will form words out of the identified alphabets which will also be then converted into speech. The key algorithm which will be used is a special type of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for image recognition. All the documentation regarding the model along with its working is provided in this paper. With high precision and accuracy the model aims to ease the communication of deaf and mute people.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Miyoung , Cho Mina
Published: April 2024

Objectives This study aimed to test the mediating effect of mindfulness and stress coping strategies (problemsolving- centered, social support seeking, avoidance-centered) on the relationship between midlife crisis and mental health in middle-aged adults (45 to 64 years old).
Methods For this, a survey was conducted on 444 adult men and women from July 1 to August 31, 2022, and 427 people who responded faithfully were analyzed. The measurement tools used were midlife crisis, mindfulness, stress coping strategies, and brief mental health. To analyze the results, the correlation between major variables was analyzed, and through confirmatory factor analysis, we checked whether the measurement variables appropriately explained the latent variables and verified the suitability of the research model through path analysis. The mediation effect was verified through AMOS.
Results The results of the research show that midlife crisis has a negative impact on mental health. Mindfulness was found to mediate significantly between midlife crisis and mental health. As for stress coping strategies, only avoidance-centered coping was found to mediate between midlife crisis and mental health significantly.
Conclusions The bigger the midlife crisis, the lower the level of mindfulness, which worsens mental health. The higher the level of midlife crisis, the higher the level of avoidance-centered stress coping, which leads to poor mental health. Therefore, through a mindfulness-based program that strengthens avoidance-centered coping strategies, it is possible to effectively help improve the mental health of middle-aged adults who are experiencing a sense of crisis.

Shwadamstradi Ghrita Uttarbasti the Ayurvedic Treatment of Urethral Stricture
Authors: Varsadiya Akash , Sharma Rajeshkumar , Kanani Dipa
Published: April 2024

In Ayurveda, Acharya Sushrut mentioned miraculous treatment for urethral stricture or mentioned as Mutrakruccha in Ayurvedic classical texts.Which briefly means difficulty in micturition. Mutrakruccha can be correlated withUrethral stricture due to the similarity between the symptoms. Many surgical and non-surgical treatments are available in modern medical science. Still, dueto thehigh recurrence and huge financial burden on the health system, Ayurvedic treatment Uttarbasti is showing promising results in the management of Urethral Stricture.Uttarbasti is the delivery of therapeutic oil or decoction via the urethra or vaginal channel.Urethral strictures can result from inflammatory, ischemic, or traumatic processes. These processes lead to scar tissue formation; scar tissue contracts and reduces the caliber of the urethral lumen, causing resistance to the flow of urine. Urethral strictures arise from various causes and can result in a range of manifestations, from an asymptomatic presentation to severe discomfort secondary to urinary retention. Retrograde urethrogram (RUG) is the main diagnostic tool to find urethral stricture and help find the length of the stricture. There is no modernmedical-science treatment for urethral stricture disease, however, urinary tract infections (UTIs) should be adequately treated before surgical intervention. Surgical treatment of urethral stricture disease is indicated when the patient has severe voiding symptoms, bladder calculi, increased postvoid residual, or urinary tract infection or when conservative management fails. Due to the high recurrence rate of surgical intervention in Urethral stricture non-invasive treatment such as Uttarbasti is always appreciated.

El presente estudio cualitativo-interpretativo, analiza la relación existente entre el discurso y la práctica en torno a la presencia intencionada de la corporeidad en las propuestas pedagógicas realizadas en educación infantil. Para el proceso de recogida de los datos, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad y observaciones en dos realidades educativas de la ciudad de Viña del Mar, Chile. El análisis de los datos cualitativos se realizó desde una lógica inductiva-interpretativa siguiendo las directrices de fragmentación y articulación de la Teoria Fundamentada. Los hallazgos tensionan la relación entre la valoración que se le otorga a la presencia intencionada de la corporeidad en los distintos aprendizajes, con las propuestas pedagógicas realizadas; propuestas que invisibilizan lo corporal y que poseen características que no responden a los requerimientos de esta etapa de la vida.
Climate Change Curricula in Family Medicine Residency Programs: Program Directors’ Perspectives From a CERA Survey
Authors: Müller Frank , Munagala Akhilesh , Bouthillier Michael J. , Skok Jesse I. , Holman Harland
Published: April 2024

Background and Objectives: Climate change is a major threat to the health of people worldwide. The health care system deals with the immediate health-related effects of climate change and, at the same time, is a major emitter of greenhouse gas. This study aimed to investigate (a) the awareness and perception of climate change among family medicine residency program directors, and (b) the state of climate change education in family medicine residency programs.
Methods: The Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) conducted a cross-sectional survey of family medicine program directors in the United States in April 2023. We analyzed anonymous data using descriptive and bivariate statistics.
Results: We analyzed responses from 284 family medicine residency program directors (response rate 41.1%). Of these, 56.8% indicated not having any lectures/seminars dedicated to climate change and no plans to introduce such curricula, with considerably higher rates in East South Central United States (92.8%). A majority considered principles of climate change, carbon emissions emitted by the health care system, and discussion of climate change with patients of lesser importance for residency program education.
Conclusions: While climate change is an emerging topic affecting health and the provision of health care worldwide, our study suggests that many family medicine residency programs do not teach about it. Family medicine trainees may not always receive sufficient education about the risks posed to their patients by climate change, which could lead to them having limited knowledge and skills when discussing this topic with their patients in the future.
Fatigue testing strategies for the X65 steel catenary riser with small-scale specimens considering the effect of welding residual stress
Authors: Liang Hang , Zhang Niantao , Deng Caiyan , Gong Baoming , Liu Yong
Published: April 2024

Wave-induced fatigue damage is inevitable for the deepwater steel
catenary riser (SCR). To accurately evaluate the fatigue performance of
the full-scale SCR using small-size specimens, five kinds of fatigue
testing strategies were explored, considering the effect of welding
residual stress. Further, the corresponding fatigue tests were conducted
regarding the welded joint specimens with the same weld profile, and the
relevant differences in fatigue testing results were comprehensively
analyzed. Through comparison with the full-scale resonant bending
fatigue testing results, the most equivalent strategy using small-scale
specimens was confirmed. The relevant results indicated that compared
with the fatigue lives of full-scale pipeline joint specimens, the
fatigue testing lives under the constant applied maximum stress of the
yield strength for base material or the constant applied mean stress of
the peak value of transverse welding residual stress strategy are
relatively lower. The fatigue life values obtained from the high-stress
ratio testing strategy are higher, especially in the low-stress range
region. Comparatively, the fatigue lives obtained under the 80 mm wide
specimen without the cutting process strategy were higher in the
high-stress range region. The variable applied mean stress strategy
using the 25 mm wide welded joint specimen was most suitable for
equivalence with full-scale fatigue testing results, and the difference
in the fatigue life testing results was only 9.7%. The difference
between the applied mean stress and the actual transverse welding
residual stress under various fatigue testing strategies is the key to
affecting the equivalence of fatigue testing results.

Due to extensive poaching and habitat degradation, the Chinese pangolin
(Manis pentadactyla) population had plummeted by approximately 90%,
leading the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to
classify it as a Critically Endangered (CR) species. The scarcity of
up-to-date data on the species’ distribution and dynamics presented a
significant challenge in developing effective conservation strategies
and implementing protective measures within China. This study employed
on eleven widely used modeling techniques created within the BIOMOD2
framework to predict suitable habitats for the pangolin at the county
scale, while examining the correlation between environmental variables
and pangolin distribution. The results revealed that in Mingxi County,
situated in the eastern sector of the Wuyi Mountains, the moderately
suitable habitat spanned 260 km², accounting for 15% of the total area,
whereas the highly suitable habitat encompassed only 49 km²,
constituting 3% of the total area. Within the county-managed nature
reserve, the proportion of highly suitable habitats reached as high as
52%. However, nearly half of these areas, both moderately and highly
suitable, remained inadequately addressed and conserved. The findings
underscored the inadequacy of existing protected areas in sustaining the
current pangolin population, leading to the identification of nine
administrative villages that necessitated prioritized conservation
efforts. The study anticipated an overall expansion in suitable habitats
over the ensuing two decades, likely associated with an increase in
precipitation, with significant growth projected in the eastern regions
of Xiayang Township and Hufang Town. This research offered a clear and
applicable research paradigm for the specific administrative level at
which China operates, particularly pertinent to county-level
jurisdictions with established nature reserve. In order to more
precisely evaluate the pangolin’s situation at the county scale, the
study underscored the paramount importance of conducting field surveys,
deemed as the most urgent task at the time.

Estimating street-level air temperature is a challenging task due to the
highly heterogeneous urban surfaces, canyon-like street morphology, and
the diverse physical processes in the built environment. Though
pioneering studies have embarked on investigations via data-driven
approaches, many questions remain to be answered. In this study, we
leveraged an innovative framework and redefined the street-level
temperature estimation problem using Graph Neural Networks (GNN) with
spatial embedding techniques. The results showed that GNN models are
more capable and consistent of estimating street-level temperature
among tested locations, benefiting from its unique strength in handling
extensive data over unstructured graph topology. In addition, we
conducted an in-depth analysis of feature importance to enhance the
model interpretability. Among the urban features analyzed in this study,
the time-variant canopy density and meter-level land use data emerge as
crucial factors. Our findings highlight GNN’s high potential in
capturing the complex dynamics between urban elements and their impacts
on microclimate, thus offering valuable insights for comprehensive
urban data collection and urban climate modeling in general.
Collectively, this study also contributes to urban planning and policy
by providing avenues to enhance city resilience against climate change,
thereby advancing the agenda for environmental stewardship and urban
sustainability.

Monitoring groundwater tables (GWTs) is challenging due to limited
spatial and temporal observations. This study presents an innovative
approach utilizing supervised deep learning, specifically a Multilayer
Perceptron (MLP), and continuous passive-Multichannel Analysis of
Surface Waves (passive-MASW) for constructing 2D GWT level maps. The
study site, geologically well-constrained, features two 20-meter-deep
piezometers and a permanent 2D geophone array capturing train-induced
surface waves. For each point of the 2D array, dispersion curves (DCs),
displaying Rayleigh-wave phase velocities (V_R) across a frequency
range of 5 to 50 Hz, have been computed each day between December 2022
and September 2023. In the present study, these DCs are resampled in
wavelengths ranging from 4 to 15~m in order to focus the
monitoring on the expected GWT levels (between -1 and -5 m). Nine months
of daily V_R data around one of the two piezometers is used to train
the MLP model. GWT levels are then estimated across the entire geophone
array, generating daily 2D GWT maps. Model’s performance is tested
through cross-validation and comparisons with GWT level data at the
second piezometer. Model’s efficiency is quantified with the
root-mean-square error (RMSE) and the coefficient of determination (R²).
The R² is estimated at 80% for data surrounding the training
piezometer, and at 68% for data surrounding the test piezometer.
Additionally, the RMSE is impressively low at 0.03 m at both
piezometers. Results showcase the effectiveness of DL in estimating GWT
level maps from passive-MASW data, offering a practical and efficient
monitoring solution across broader spatial extents.

To address the effect of stratiform latent heating on meso- to large
scale circulations, an enhanced implementation of the Multiscale
Coherent Structure Parameterization (MCSP) is developed for the Met
Office Unified Model. MCSP represents the top-heavy stratiform latent
heating from under-resolved organized convection in general circulation
models. We couple the MCSP with a mass-flux convection scheme
(CoMorph-A) to improve storm lifecycle continuity. The improved MCSP
trigger is specifically designed for mixed-phase deep convective cloud,
combined with a background vertical wind shear, both known to be crucial
for stratiform development. We also test a cloud top temperature
dependent convective-stratiform heating partitioning, in contrast to the
earlier fixed partitioning. Assessments from ensemble weather forecasts
and decadal simulations demonstrate that MCSP directly reduces cloud
deepening and precipitation areas by moderating mesoscale circulations.
Indirectly, it amends tropical precipitation biases, notably correcting
dry and wet biases over India and the Indian Ocean, respectively.
Remarkably, the scheme outperforms a climate model ensemble by improving
seasonal precipitation cycle predictions in these regions. This
enhancement is partly due to the scheme’s refinement of Madden-Julian
Oscillation (MJO) spectra, achieving better alignment with reanalysis
data by intensifying MJO events and maintaining their eastward
propagation after passing the Maritime Continent. However, the scheme
also increases precipitation overestimation over the Western Pacific.
Shifting from fixed to temperature-dependent convective-stratiform
partitioning reduces the Pacific precipitation overestimation but also
lessens the improvements of seasonal cycle in India. Spatially
correlated biases highlight the necessity for advancements beyond
deterministic approaches to align MCSP with environmental conditions.
