HIGHLY SECURED TRANSFORMER LOAD SHARING SYSTEM USING MICROCONTROLLER
Authors: KUMAR Mr.S.SARATH
Published: September 2023

Abstract-The transformer is a static device, which converts power from one level to another level. The aim of the paper is to protect the transformer under overload condition by load sharing. Due to overload on transformer, the efficiency drops and windings get overheated and may get burnt. Thus by sharing load on transformer, the transformer is protected. This will be done by connecting another transformer in parallel through a micro-controller. The microcontroller compares the load on the first transformer with a reference value. When the load exceeds the reference value, the second transformer will share the extra load. Therefore, the two transformer work efficiently and damage is prevented. In this project three modules are used to control the load currents. The first module is a sensing unit, which is used to sense the current of the load and the second module is a control unit. The last module is microcontroller unit and it will read the analogue signal and perform some calculation and finally gives control signal to a relay. A GSM modem is also used to inform the control station about switching. The advantages of the paper are transformer protection, uninterrupted power supply, and short circuit protection. When designing low-voltage power system to the supply large load currents, paralleled lower-current modules are often preferred over a single, large power converter for several reasons. These include the efficiency of designing and manufacturing standard modular converters which can be combined in any number necessary to meet a given load requirement and the enhanced reliability gained through redundancy.

Authors: Badejo Oluwakemi .A , Oyemolade T.A , Malomo T.A
Published: September 2023

Background: Spinal haemangioblastomas are rare benign but potentially devastating vascular tumours. They may occur sporadically or as a component of Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. There is a dearth of information about these tumours among Nigerians. This study aims to evaluate the clinical profile and outcome of surgery as well as the challenges of management of these tumours in a resource-limited country.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from the records of patients who had surgery for spinal haemangioblastoma at our center between January 2004 and December 2018.

Results: We operated 2 cases of spinal haemangioblastomas during the study period (1 male, 1 female). The patients were aged 25 and 50 years. Both patients presented with sensorimotor deficits but only one them had sphincteric dysfunction. The duration of symptoms was 2 weeks in one patient and 18 months in the other. The tumour was located in the thoracic region in both of them. One patient had extramedullary tumour while the had an intramedullary spinal tumour. Both patients were paraplegic at the time of surgery, for 3 days in one patient and more than 4 months in the second patient. Gross total tumour resection was achieved in both individual. The patient with short duration of symptoms and extramedullary tumour made a rapid post-operative neurological improvement while the one with long duration of symptoms and intramedullary tumour remained paraplegic until his demise 9 months after surgery.

Conclusion: Spinal haemangioblastomas are rare tumours. Long duration of symptoms and intramedullary tumour location are predictors of unfavorable surgical outcome

Authors: Ishiguro Kaoru
Published: September 2023

Achieving a state of happiness and good health is undoubtedly important for people’s mental health. It is a challenging feat in any country, but more so in developing countries. However, scant research exists on the happiness and self-rated health of people in developing countries. To examine the impact of social capital on women’s happiness and self-rated health in rural Cambodia, this study applies ordinal logit regression on the interview data of 283 women living in Siem Reap. The following factors positively impacted the happiness of the women: high household income, lending of money to others, high level of trust toward family, social participation, and having high self-rated health. The following factors were associated with higher self-rated health, similarly as with happiness: high level of trust toward family, lending of money to others, social participation, and higher number of surviving children. However, self-rated health decreased when the women were of advanced age, had given birth to many children, or had received poverty identification. The novelty of this study is that it provides a valuable insight into the impact of social capital on the happiness and self-rated health of women in rural Cambodian villages.

Este artículo presenta una breve historia de la Eslovenia independiente, desde sus últimos momentos en la República Federativa Socialista de Yugoslavia y la proclamación de su independencia hasta la actualidad, pasando por hitos importantes de este periodo como su inclusión en la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte y la Unión Europea o crisis internacionales como la económica iniciada en 2008, la de los refugiados de 2015 o la sanitaria de la pandemia de COVID-19. Para ello, dividimos estas décadas en cuatro periodos: la independencia de Yugoslavia, la consolidación como estado independiente, los años de inclusión en las entidades supranacionales y la bonanza económica y la época de crisis internacionales e internas que comenzó en 2008. Por un lado, presentamos los hechos más significativos de este tiempo y, por otro, mostramos cómo estos acontecimientos se han reflejado en la literatura producida por los escritores eslovenos, principalmente en la novela. Por este motivo, también dedicamos parte de nuestra atención al desarrollo de la literatura eslovena en este periodo, en el que ha perdido en gran parte su papel social y nacional y ha pasado a centrarse más en retóricas personales.

Published: September 2023

An alternative method for producing radiative cooling paint using sustainable and cost-effective green materials, which can significantly reduce indoor temperatures. Prior research on radiative cooling systems revealed that multilayer metal oxide systems require expensive raw materials and high-end facilities, limiting large-scale production. Therefore, this study aimed to identify optimal conditions for producing radiative cooling paint using commercial spherical glass microspheres and titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The study investigated the effect of glass microsphere size, quantity, and coating thickness on emissivity and light reflectance. Results showed that glass microsphere size did not significantly affect emissivity. However, increasing coating thickness and glass microsphere quantity initially increased emissivity but stabilized at saturation points. The addition of glass microspheres decreased light reflectance, increasing temperatures during the daytime. The radiative cooling efficiency of the paint was tested, and the results showed that the glass microsphere content significantly affected the reduction in daytime temperatures. A mixture content of 45 and 75 wt% reduced the temperature by 2.96 and 3.09 °C, respectively, lower than the ambient temperature during the nighttime. The double layer of titanium dioxide/glass microspheres paint was more effective at cooling than the single layer of 45% glass microspheres, despite similar emissivity values.

Female Friendship, Love, and Community of Women in Early Women Writers in Britain.
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Song Ki-ho
Published: September 2023

In Britain, long before Wollstonecraft’s The Vindication of Women’s Rights, many female writers questioned the contemporary society that took it for granted the inferior social status of women. One interesting way of making critique of the male-dominant contemporary society was to emphasize female friendship and love. Katherine Philips, Mary Lee Chudleigh and Aphra Behn assert that love and marriage in the contemporary male-dominant society simply become a means to fulfill men’s desire to rule over women, thereby emphasizing the consolation of female friendship and love. Mary Astell and Sarah Scott go further than this, and they propose a separative community of women based on mutual female friendship. These writers make a significant and poignant feminist critique of men’s oppression of women by locating women outside the very social order and relations of power in which men can exercise their oppressive power over women.
An Analysis Study of the Difficulty Level of the Grade 9 National Civil Service English Exam (CSEE) from 2019 to 2023: Focusing on AI-Based CEFR Levels and Readability Levels
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Lee Jee-yeon
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to assess the difficulty level of reading comprehension passages in the Grade 9 National Civil Service English Exam (CSEE) from 2019 to 2023, focusing on AI-based CEFR levels and readability levels. The overall results of the study are as follows: Firstly, in terms of CEFR levels derived from vocabulary, verb forms, and sentence structures, a high proportion of passages were included at the C1 level and above. Secondly, considering that CEFR levels are most influenced by vocabulary, the Grade 9 CSEE still contained a significant number of difficult words. Thirdly, in terms of readability, a considerable proportion of passages were analyzed at or above the college level, indicating high difficulty not only in terms of vocabulary but also at the sentence level. These findings suggest that the Grade 9 CSEE remains challenging. Based on the results of this study, it provides suggestions that could aid in adjusting the difficulty level of future Grade 9 CSEE and improving its validity and authenticity. Moreover, it presents the potential utilization of AI-based programs in the field of English assessment.

This study is an action research study of a digital storytelling project-based course. The purpose of this study is to explore the way of implementing a digital storytelling project-based courses in order to make a local improvement rather than making a generalization. This paper reports the procedure of the Multimedia-Assisted English Education course, which was offered to the English language education majors for fifteen weeks in the spring semester in 2020 and its pedagogical effects in terms of the students’ competence both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative and qualitative data collected included students’ general English proficiency test scores (Quick Placement Test, or QPT), virtual class recordings, group activity notes, mind maps, learning journals, student and instructor reflection notes, lecture evaluations, videos of a digital storytelling project, peer evaluations, self assessments, video critiques (Lacy, 2018), transcripts of students conversations (open channels), and core competency surveys conducted at the beginning and end of the semester. Due to the COVID-19, all the classes were delivered online, which made it possible to explore on-line interaction and collaboration among seventeen students in a non-face-to-face situation. In the course of completing a digital storytelling project in a group of 8-9 students, students were reported to enhance collaborative problem-solving and mutual communication competencies.

Investigations on effect of tree-crop combinations and nitrogen levels on growth, yield and withanolides content and yield of Withania somnifera L. Dunal were carried out during 2005-2006 and 2006-2007, in mid hills of Himachal Pradesh (India). W. somnifera was grown in association with Prunus persica (fruit), Grewia optiva, Morus alba (fodder) and Setaria sphacelata (grass). The distinctive tree-crop combinations (agroforestry systems) formed were Peach + Grewia + Setaria + W. somnifera, Peach + Morus + Setaria + W. somnifera, Peach + Setaria + W. somnifera, Grewia + Setaria + W. somnifera, Morus + Setaria + W. somnifera and W. somnifera as sole crop. Three nitrogen doses, viz. 40, 80 and 120 kg/ha were applied to W. somnifera. The plant height and leaf area of ashwagandha plants was not affected by tree-crop combinations. The nitrogen dose of 120 kg/ha resulted in maximum height (44.55 cm) and leaf area (17.76 cm2/leaf). Leaf area index was maximum (0.97) for plants grown in association with Peach+Grewia+Setaria. Belowground, aboveground and total biomass yield was not affected significantly by various tree-crop combinations. It ranged from 3.23 to 3.91, 2.30 to 2.63 and 5.53 to 6.46 q/ha, respectively. The N dose 120 kg/ha gave significantly higher below, aboveground and total biomass yield to the tune of 5.23, 3.37 and 8.60 q/ha, respectively. Withanolide content in roots varied from 0.73 to o.79 per cent but was not affected due to different tree- crop combinations and nitrogen doses.
Viability studies of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pf 1 in liquid formulation, its effect on plant growth and on root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita

Published: September 2023

Viability of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pf 1 in liquid formulation amended with different chemicals was studied for a period of one year. Among the amendments tested, NB with 10 mM glycerol showed maximum viability of Pf 1 cells (360 days). Similarly, in stickers, NB with starch (2%) showed the maximum viability of Pf 1 cells (240 days). Plant growth promotion studies carried out in tomato cv Co3 under roll towel and pot culture method revealed that fifth day old culture of Pf 1 showed enhanced plant growth when compared with other subsequent day old cultures. Under in vitro studies against Meloidogyne incognita, the same fifth day old culture at its 25 per cent concentration recorded the least egg hatching and maximum juvenile mortality. However, the efficiency of different days old cultures remained effective over control for a period of one year when stored as liquid formulation along with chemical amendments.

The acceptability of tomato ketchup is dependent on desired mouth feel and acceptable sourness. The acceptable tomato ketchup can be developed with 2.75% corn flour, 7 and 10% of cooked pumpkin and bottle gourd and 0.4% CMC along with 1.5% acidity as acetic acid based on RSM. The vegetable based thickener of bottle gourd and pumpkin in manufacture of tomato ketchup yielded maximum serum separation of 2.2-3.0 ml while negligible serum separation was obtained in tomato ketchup with corn flour and CMC stabilizer. Tomato ketchup with vegetable based thickener of bottle gourd and pumpkin contained maximum (40.17- 57.08 and 41.75-51.79 mg/100g) ascorbic acid, respectively among all the formulations.
