Numerical investigation into the thermo-hydro-mechanical behavior in unsaturated soils considering hypergravity effect
Authors: Ye Zhigang , Chen Chaofan , Hu Yingtao , Wan Zhangbo , Zhang Dapeng , Guo Ronghan
Published: March 2024

Unsaturated soils are commonly found in coastal regions and marine sediments, where understanding the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behavior, especially regarding phase transition, is crucial for related practical engineering applications. Centrifugal model offers an effective means to reflect the prototype with smaller scale and shorter duration under hypergravity conditions. Present studies on similarity based on governing equation analysis of the THM coupled responses are mainly focused on saturated rather than unsaturated soils, nor involved with different boundary conditions. This paper theoretically derives the similarity of THM behavior of unsaturated soils between the centrifugal model and prototype, and numerically assesses the similarity considering Dirichlet / Neumann condition based on the open-source FEM code OpenGeoSys. In addition, numerical results shows that phase transition between liquid water and water vapor will occur under temperature variation, and pore pressure difference rather than initial pore pressure causes the difference of THM coupled responses. Significant pore pressure variation will be amplified with increase of gas diffusion coefficient, and large air entry pressure corresponds to high liquid saturation and obvious phase transition.

CDK Debug classes and fixing the ModelBuilder3D bug
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: March 2024

For some weeks now I have been thinking about bug 1309731: “ModelBuilder3D overwrites Atom IDs”. The ModelBuilder3D is a complex piece of source code, reusing many other parts of the CDK, including atom type perception. Somewhere in October, however, I found that Taverna could not create 3D models and convert these into reasonable CML because the Atom ID’s were messed up. So the question is, where did the ModelBuilder3D do this?
Jumbo 5.0 and CML support in CDK
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: March 2024

Tobias commited Jumbo 5.0 to CDK CVS, so that the CDK is now again up to date with the latest CML library. Note that Jumbo 5.0 requires Java 5.0. At first all JUnit tests seems to work, but apparently the CML2Writer tests were skipped because they were only run when Java 1.4 was found. I updated the test for the a appropriate Java version, and then it turned out that most tests fail.

After asking about it, Tom explained me how Taverna can pick up the apiconsumer.xml file from jars: just copy it into the root directory of the jar package. Easy as that. So, users now only need to copy the cdk-taverna.jar into the taverna-workbench-1.3/lib/ directory and have a nice chemoinformatics workbench environment. I’ll upload the jar to CDK’s project page right now.

Jumbo 5.0 and the CDK
Authors: Willighagen Egon
Published: March 2024

I reported earlier   that the CDK has been updated in CVS to use CML from the new Jumbo 5.0. The transition actually involved a lot of changes in the CDK, some I would like to address in the following comments. One thing is that CML write support (not reading!) uses the new Jumbo library which requires Java 1.5. Thus, if Java 1.5 is not available, then CML writing should not be compiled. This is how this is done.

The Brazilian Tax Reform: Potential Impacts to the Financial Sector
Authors: Seixas V. Pimenta , Pizzignacco R.
Published: March 2024

The Brazilian tax system, known for its complexity, underwent a major change with the approval of Constitutional Amendment Proposal 45 (PEC 45), which was converted into Constitutional Amendment 132 (EC 132) on 20 December 2023. EC 132 aims to simplify the existing tax framework by consolidating five taxes into two – the CBS (contribuição sobre bens e serviços) and IBS (imposto sobre bens e serviços). However, the changes brought by the new system pose challenges, especially for the financial sector, which has, until now, benefited from special tax regimes given the uniqueness of financial transactions, not properly framed by the goals of the most typical VATs. This paper explores the current Brazilian tax system, EC 132’s changes, and their potential impact on the financial sector, focusing on the levy of VATs on financial transactions. Considering that alternatives for the VAT taxation were discussed, the National Congress, as the party responsible for regulating the new tax regime of financial institutions, still has the responsibility of bringing a balanced approach to the issue, noticing the corresponding complexities of the application of the VAT on margin transactions and the broader economic implications, especially to the cost of credit in Brazil.

Continuous performance management through monitoring and evaluation techniques plays an essential role in attaining success in the project. To enhance project performance, the manager must create a positive work environment and do more than work within predefined project management constructs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the motivation of employees on project performance. A primary and quantitative study was held to identify the relationship between the variables (e.g., motivation, project performance, and op[1]erational strategy). We distributed questionnaire surveys to units of analysis; they helped us select the best sample from our selected Bahawalpur, Multan, Lahore and Faisalabad region Projects. The data was collected through questionnaires by interviewing the 210 project workers and managers using convenience sampling. The data were analyzed through SPSS and Smart PLS. Statistical results such as Descriptive Analysis, Regression Analysis, Moderating Analysis, and Boot Strapping were used to establish the relationship between variables and Cronbach Alpha to measure the scale reliability. The results show that the worker's motivation has a significant positive effect and is essential in increasing the project's performance. Operational strategy as a moderator has a significant positive impact on project performance. This study is critical because it provides practical insights regarding the most important factors. In this study, we discuss the factors that affect worker performance and find the factors related to the worker to achieve the project performance. The conclusion supports that workers' motivation enhances the project's performance.

Published: March 2024

Information and data security is one of the most challenging tasks for the massive-scale digital revolution all over the world. The very first step to secure our data is to identify invasive conduct and intrusive behavior. However, due to the high scalability of most modern systems and the complex nature of the attacks, the traditional detection system is less reliable. To overcome this challenge, it is necessary to build intelligent and adaptive intrusion detection technologies. That is why this research developed an intrusion detection system using commonly used ML algorithms and analyzed performance from different perspectives. In our pipeline, this exploration applied both supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms. The training and test data were split in multiple ways to evaluate the performance of the models. From the experimental results, it was found that the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) performs better in our context in terms of both precision and recall.

Published: March 2024

This research aims to discover how an employee performance appraisal system using the website-based SAW method can help managers carry out the employee performance appraisal process. The method used in developing a web-based decision-making system is the prototype method. For data collection, two techniques were used. First, obtain the necessary information through interviews. Second, by collecting performance assessment data previously carried out manually by managers. It can be observed that the system may function effectively by performing its functions as an employee performance assessment utilizing the simple additive weighting calculation technique after creating a prototype decision-making system using the website-based simple additive weighting method. After managers have completed an evaluation, website-based solutions can combine data to make it easier to access, preserve data security, and support decision-making. The results provided yield high accuracy based on the SAW formula. This system uses the SAW calculation method so that employee performance assessments are carried out based on the percentage weight of the criteria that the manager has determined. From the requirements and results of this assessment, SAW can produce a ranking of employees with the best to worst performance. From this ranking, the manager can determine the employee with the best and worst performance, and then managers can make decisions based on that data.

A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING INVESTIGATION OF THE THEORY OF PLANNED BEHAVIOR APPLIED TO ACCOUNTING PROFESSORS' FORMAL ENFORCEMENT OF CHEATING RULES
Authors: Brigham Stephen S. , Ziebart David A.
Published: March 2024

This study investigates factors that influence accounting professors’ formal enforcement of academic misconduct rules using the Theory of Planned Behavior (“TPB”) as a theoretical framework. Obtaining a better understanding of formal enforcement will inform efforts to improve it. We emailed survey requests to 8,663 accounting faculty in 35 countries and received a reasonably representative sample of 1,207 (13.9% response rate) complete surveys from 23 countries—exceeding sample-size requirements for structural equation modeling to test our TPB model, which explains 43.3% of the variance in Formal Enforcement Behavior and 52.4% of Intention, consistent with past TPB studies. Results indicate that of the direct antecedents to Intention, Formal Enforcement Attitude is most important in explaining and predicting professors’ Formal Enforcement Behavior, followed by Perceived Behavioral Control and Subjective Norm. Model-fit results are unsurprisingly mixed but appear adequate in light of theory. Model estimates and model-fit statistics are robust to sensitivity checks, including analysis of only domestic respondents.

Background Stroke is the second leading cause of mortality and disability in the world. It is les prevalent in people under 50 years of age but has an important impact on society and the healthcare system. The Trial of Org in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) etiological classification system includes 5 categories: atherothrombotic, cardioembolic, lacunar, rarely occurring (unusual), and of undetermined origin. The etiological range of ischemic stroke in patients under 50 years of age is more heterogeneous than in older patients.
Objective To establish the most frequent etiology of ischemic stroke in patients under 50 years of age in Mediláser S.A. clinics of Tunja and Neiva in the years 2013 to 2017.
Methodology A descriptive, observational, retrospective, cross-sectional, retrospective study. The clinical history of patients under 50 years of age with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke confirmed by neuroimaging (Computed Tomography – CT or Magnetic Resonance Imaging - MRI) in the aforementioned clinics between 2013 and 2017 was reviewed. The etiology of ischemic stroke was determined according to the TOAST classification.
Results 69 patients were identified. The mean age was 39 years (SD: 2). Male/female ratio of 1.3/0.7. Regarding etiology, 22% were associated with cardioembolic origin, 7% atherothrombotic, 4% small vessel, 6% unusual, and 30 % undetermined. The mortality rate was 13% overall. In 70 % of the cases, the cerebral area most affected was the middle cerebral artery. Arterial hypertension was the risk factor most frequently associated with stroke, present in 38% of cases.
Conclusions The incidence of ischemic stroke increases significantly after the age of 40 years. Arterial hypertension also represents an important risk factor for experiencing a stroke before the age of 50 years.

Published: March 2024

The SG6043 airfoil model is well known for its high aerodynamic efficiency and it is suitable for designing small wind turbine blades. This paper determined the optimal blade configurations using only the SG6043 airfoil model with ten different lengths from 1 m to 10 m. Then, it proposed the most suitable model for a rated wind speed of 5 m/s in Vietnam. The chord and twist values of each blade’s part were optimized by using the Betz optimization method (BOM) in the Qblade open software. Several important characteristic quantities such as lift coefficient (Cl), drag coefficient (Cd), power factor (Cp) and power (P) of the different blade configurations are determined by using a combination of both XFLR5 code and Qblade software. After that, parameters related to operation such as pitch angle and rotation speed of the rotor were also investigated to find the operating conditions for the best efficiency of wind energy exploitation. The obtained results show that the Cp of the blades has a maximum value of about 0.476 and the P has a value of up to 95.319 kW in operating conditions with a wind speed range between 1 m/s and 10 m/s. In addition, the ratios of power to blade surface area (P/S) and the ratios of power to blade volume (P/V) at the wind speed of 5 m/s were also investigated. The results show that rotors with blades ranging from 3 m to 5 m will give much higher P/S and P/V values than other blade configurations under these operating conditions. This emphasizes that these blade configurations will bring more economic benefit because they will consume less material and reduce production time while still ensuring the required capacity value. Finally, the 5 m blade rotor with a capacity of 2.750 kW at a rated wind speed of 5 m/s was proposed as the rotor suitable for individual household use. This design can help millions of Vietnamese households be proactive in their power source, thereby contributing to the significant reduction of CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants.
