Purpose:to develop optimal technique of cardiac multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) before noninvasive cardiac mapping before cateter ablation of atrial fibrillation.

Materials and methods.94 patients with atrial fibrillation were included in study (60 males, 34 females; mean age = 58.3 ± 10 years; mean body mass index (BMI) = 29.9 ± ± 4.8). The patients were divided into 2 groups: I – 80 patients who underwent computer tomography (CT)-protocol for noninvasive cardiac mapping with standard contrast enhancement (single-bolus protocol); II – 14 patients who underwent CT with modified contrast enhancement technique with preliminary contrast injection (prebolus). To detect thrombotic masses in the left auricle the low-dose delayed phase was performed. The analysis of individual features of pulmonary veins, left atrium and adjacent structures was performed. Contrast enhancement of heart chambers was assessed by mean attenuation and homogeneity measurement.

Results and discussion.The typical anatomy of the right pulmonary veins was in 93.6% of cases; right middle pulmonary vein in 5.3%; right segmental veins in 1.1%. The typical anatomy at the left side was in 57.4% of cases; common vestibulum of the left pulmonary veins in 18.1%; common left trunk in 24.5%. Volume enlargement of the left atrium (LA) was in 96.8% of patients. In 6 cases left auricle thrombosis was suspected, low-dose delayed phase was performed. In 2 cases filling defects in left auricle persisted, thrombosis was proved by transesophageal echocardiography. With the single-bolus injection protocol the contrast enhancement of left heart chambers was best (mean attenuation of blood in LA = 296 ± 84 HU, in left ventricle (LV) = 286 ± 83 HU), but the contrast enhancement and homogeneity of the chambers were insufficient (mean attenuation of blood in right atrium (RA) = 179 ± 97 HU, in right ventricle (RV) = 176 ± 80 HU). With prebolus protocol the contrast enhancement and homogeneity of all chambers were optimal (mean attenuation of blood in LA = 259 ± 31 HU, in LV = 286 ± 83 HU, in RA = 270 ± 92 HU, in RV = 253 ± 80 HU). This allowed making more accurate epi-endocardial heart models in the noninvasive cardiac mapping and operation planning.

Conclusion.MDCT with standard contrast enhancement protocol provides detailed information about anatomy and size of pulmonary veins, the left atrium volume, the presence of intracardiac masses (including thrombotic masses), the anatomy of adjacent structures. The modified contrast enhancement technique with preliminary contrast injection (prebolus) allows to receive optimal contrast enhancement of all heart chambers and to make high accurate epi-endocardial models of both the right and left sides of the heart in case of noninvasive cardiac mapping.

Authors: Petrikov S. S. , Andreytseva М. I. , Khamidova L. Т. , Solodov A. A.
Published: February 2019

The purpose.To determine relationshipsbetween the value of intracranial pressure obtained by direct measurement (using ICP sensors), the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), and the optic nerve diameter obtained by ultrasound; to define a threshold for ONSD for diagnosing ICP more than 20 mm Hg.

Materials and methods.33 patients with traumatic and non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhages were examined. All patients were continuously monitored by ICP and ultrasound of the optic nerve channel. We evaluated the ONSD and optic nerve diameter (OND) using ultrasound. 16 healthy volunteers were examined to determine the normal values of ONSD and OND.

Results.All patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the type of ICP dynamics. Group 1 (n = 26): an initial value of ICP is less than 20 mm Hg, group 2 (n = 7): initially high ICP values. Group 1 was divided into 3 subgroups: 1a (n = 7) – ICP did not increase during the whole monitoring period, 1b1 (n = 10) – ICP transiently increased in the postoperative period and normalized after treating, 1b2 (n = 9) – refractory intracranial hypertension was developed in the postoperative period. Group 2 was divided into two subgroups: 2a (n = 4) – ICP normalized in the postoperative period, 2b (n = 3) – refractory intracranial hypertension was developed in the postoperative period. There was a significant relationship between ICP and ONSD (Spearman n = 318, R = 0.31, p < 0.001; Kruskal– Wallis p < 0.001)in all groups of patients. The diameter of the optic nerve was the same for both groups: healthy volunteers and the experimental group (Spearmann = 334, R = 0.0054, p = 0.96). The optimal value of ONSD for detection the ICP > 20 mm Hg was morethan 5.8 mm.

Conclusion.The ultrasound of the optic nerve channel can be an additional screening non-invasive diagnostic method for patients with intracranial hypertension.

Papillary fibroelastoma is a relatively rare cardiac tumor, which etiology is undisclosed and not entirely clear. A relatively small number of case descriptions and investigations makes it difficult to accumulate the material, which is absolutely necessary in view of the diversity and ambivalence of the tactics of the management of the different groups of patients. The article represents the case reports of the papillary fibroelastoma of the left coronary leaflet of the aortic valve in a 79 y.o. man and 15 y.o. woman. In both cases patients hadn't any complains; both fibroelastomas were accidentally detected. Due to echocardiography and CMR, it was succeed to obtain data on the hemodynamic significance of these tumors, to reveal their precize localization and to assess their mobility, also to differentiate them with other masses.

Today, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows to plan surgery based on the topography of functionally important areas of the human brain cortex and tumor. This method can complement the surgical strategy with significant clinical information. The stimulus-dependent fMRI with motor and language paradigms is generally used for preoperative planning. The study outcome depends on the patient's ability to perform tasks paradigm, which is broken in brain tumors. In an attempt to overcome this problem, resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) is used for brain mapping. Rs-fMRI is based on the measurement of spontaneous fluctuations of the BOLD signal (blood oxygen level-dependent), representing the functional structure of the brain. In contrast to stimulus-dependent fMRI, rs-fMRI provides more complete information about functional architecture of the brain. rs-fMRI is used in conditions where the results of stimulusdependent fMRI may be falsely positive or in the absence of the possibility of its implementation. In aggregate, both methods significantly expand the efficiency and specificity of preoperative planning.

Published: February 2019

WAVE (Wave-powered Autonomous Vehicle for marine Exploration) is an Italian National Research Projects of Military interest (PNRM) concluded in October 2017. The final goal of the project was the enhancement of the endurance of a typical marine mission with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). To this aim, a system to provide a generic carrier AUV for both energy harvesting from the wave motion and low energy propulsion capabilities was developed. A first prototype of the WAVE module was realised and installed on a commercial AUVplatform. After a preliminary assessment of the integrated system at sea, a systematic experimental characterisation of the module capabilities was carried out in a controlled environment at the CNR-INSEAN test tank facility in Rome, Italy. During the three days experimentation, a considerable quantity of data related to different recreated sea conditions and WAVE module configurations was collected. This work details the energetic characterisation of the proposed system, presenting a comparison of the performance of the different WAVE module layouts in terms of average generated power. The main result emerged from the previous analysis is the identification of the most effective configuration of the WAVE module for the battery charging. A deeper processing of data will allow to critically tune the available dynamical model of the system. This way, it will be possible to evaluate, through simulations, the expected performance of the WAVE AUV under typical wave profiles of the Mediterranean sea.

The proposed paper presents the design and development of the combined guidance and control strategies for the autonomous navigation of an unmanned vessel characterized by azimuth-based thrust architecture. Autonomous Marine Vehicles (AMVs) are consolidates technological tools commonly employed for different tasks such as exploration, sampling and intervention. With the final aim of autonomous shipping, the capabilities of AMVs have to be migrated and adapted towards the reliable and safe control of commercial-like unmanned vessel, that are taking place thanks to a number of technological research projects. The employment of new concept hulls and thrust configurations, as for instance Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) combined with Azimuthal propulsion (common propeller-based thruster with the capability of 360◦ rotation around the vertical axis), requires robust guidance techniques to provide precise and reliable motion control during navigation. The paper proposes a dual-loop guidance and control scheme able to provide advanced navigation capabilities. In particular, the inner control loop, devoted to the actuation of the azimuthal thrusters, allows the tracking of reference course angle (namely the autopilot). Such a control loop is characterized by a modified PID regulation scheme, where a novel adaptive derivative component is inserted in order to improve the convergence curve towards the required course reference. The outer guidance loop, based on Lyapunov/virtual-target approach, allows the vessel to track generic desired paths, thus enhancing the autonomous navigation capabilities also in constrained environments. The paper will provide a deep design and analysis approach for the developed techniques, as well as simulation results of the combined guidance and control scheme, proving the reliability of the proposed approach in different operative conditions. Experimental results will be provided, depending on the availability of the actual autonomous vessel (currently under final development/test phases and related to the specific project activities).
The role of future information in control system design for shipboard power systems
Authors: Opila D F , Stevens J D , Cramer A M
Published: February 2019

Both naval and commercial ships are incorporating new power and energy system technologies to improve fuel economy and performance while servicing high power pulsed loads. These assets can be best utilized with load demand forecasting and/or prediction, especially when considering limits on generator ramp rates, distribution lines, and energy storage capacity. Obtaining future load demand data and designing a controller to accommodate it can be challenging, but with potentially large payoff. However, this information is not useful in all cases. This paper develops a method to quantify the potential value of future information depending on the specific power system characteristics. This quantitative approach aids designers in deciding how and when to deploy future forecasting in controller design, and provides insight into the potential benefits of these more complex controllers. To quantify this trade off, two optimization-based control methods are developed. One uses only current information, while the other has an exact forecast of the future. As examples, the method is applied to a notional naval ship and drill platform service vessel with representative power and energy system architectures under indicative operational load demands.
Micro-pilot-induced Ignition Diesel/ Natural Gas Engine Control System Development and Engine Performance /Emission Optimization
Authors: Zhao G
Published: February 2019

Diesel/natural gas dual fuel engine is acquiring more and more attention due to its potential to reduce NOX and soot emission simultaneously. Micro-pilot-induced diesel ignition natural gas engine is a popular manner to further improve the emission reduction capability of dual fuel engine. A six cylinder, four stroke, commonrail diesel engine is converted into dual fuel engine. Natural gas is injected into the intake manifold after the throttle. Five gas injection valves are used to control natural gas flow rate. Based to the established fuel supply system, a dual fuel control system is developed by using MS9S12XEP100 MCU. Voltage boosting circuit, fuel injector driving circuit, gas injection valve driving circuit and MeUn driving circuit are integrated on the platform of MCU hardware. Two ECU is connected to each other by CAN bus and several I/O ports to fulfil the fuel injection functional requirement. A software framework involves gas injection timing synchronization, fuel mode managing, multi-time injection. A MAP based fresh air mass flow rate and intake charge efficiency model is integrated in the MCU to calculate the fresh air quality in cylinder. The last part is performance optimization research at low load. Ignition diesel is divided into two stages, and the first injection timing, first injection ratio and injection pressure are used as controllable parameter to reduce NOX and HC emission. Experimental result reveal that by dividing ignition injection into two stage and advancing first injection to 60°CA BTDC CH4 emission can be reduced by 77% while NOX remains unchanged. Increasing the first injection ratio and injection pressure can also reduce THC emission. If injection pressure is higher than 75MPa, the effect of HC reduction effect is not that obvious. Experimental results shows that developed control system can accomplish the functional requirements of dual fuel engine management. Emission test results demonstrate that IMO TierII can be satisfied at diesel mode. DF mode emission performance can meet the requirement of IMO TierIII. Furthermore, as the first domestic product dual fuel dedicated control system, which has passed through the CCS authentication in China, the engine emission level can meet the current and upcoming China’s emission standard on non-road engine on the premise of guaranteeing engine power and economy.
Fingerprinting the ship propulsion system: low hanging fruit or mission impossible?
Authors: Vrijdag A , Sang Y
Published: February 2019

In this paper the concept of ship propulsion system “fingerprinting” is explored as an alternative for data driven models that require extensive measured datasets collected over long periods of ship operation. As a first exploratory step a model of a ship in bollard pull conditions is linearised and its transfer functions are determined. Subsequently limited experimental data, involving sinusoidal excitation of the system input at a wide range of frequencies, is used to determine the system parameters. The resulting parameter estimates compare well against previously determined values. Although the developed ideas are far from ready to be used on full scale, the authors believe that the approach is promising enough to be developed further towards full scale application.

In this work, the influence of colors of filters upon the photovoltaic panels rising temperature and electrical performance was studied under Baghdad Meteorological Condition. Basing on the energy analysis of a photovoltaic solar system and by using the photonic theory, the available energy on the PV plane system has been evaluated. Seven colored filters each with (85W) PV modules were used in this case study, to reveal the impact of colored filters upon the electrical productivity of PV panel with the variation in the temperature caused by these filters. There is the main issue of this work is to show how the performance of PV module by imposing colored filter and hence how and to how much improve it by reducing the cell temperature in hot climate. Outcomes showed that the PV technology is affected by the color filters. In other words, red filter gives light have least photons energy, and violet filter gives light have the most photons energy and green is between the two. So, red colors filter gives highest PV panel temperature comparative with others filters, while violet color filter was the lowest. PV module with the lowest temperature colored filter gives the best electrical performance than others.

Published: February 2019

The interaction of atomic and molecular hydrogen with the actinide dioxide (AnO2, An = U, Np, Pu) (111) surfaces has been investigated by DFT+U, where noncollinear 3k antiferromagnetic (AFM) behaviour and spin-orbit interactions (SOI) are considered. The adsorption of atomic hydrogen forms a hydroxide group, and is coupled to the reduction of an actinide ion. The energy of atomic hydrogen adsorption on the UO2 (0.82 eV), NpO2 (-0.10 eV), and PuO2 (-1.25 eV) surfaces has been calculated. The dissociation of molecular hydrogen is not observed, and shown to be due to kinetic rather than thermodynamic factors. As a barrier in the formation of a second hydroxyl group, an unusual charge distribution has been shown. This is possibly a limitation of a (1·1) unit cell method. The recombination of hydrogen ions on the AnO2 (111) surfaces is favoured over hydroxide formation.

Novel analogs of the allosteric, biased PAR1 ligand ML161 (parmodulin 2, PM2) were prepared in order to identify potential anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory compounds of the parmodulin class with improved properties. Investigations of structure-activity relationships of the western portion of the 1,3-diaminobenzene scaffold were performed using an intracellular calcium mobilization assay with endothelial cells, and several heterocycles were identified that inhibited PAR1 at sub-micromolar concentrations. The oxazole NRD-21 was profiled in additional detail, and it was confirmed to act as a selective negative allosteric modulator of PAR1 that inhibits human platelet aggregation. It showed superior anti-inflammatory activity to ML161 in a qPCR assay measuring the expression of tissue factor in response to the cytokine TNF-alpha in endothelial cells. Additionally, NRD-21 is much more plasma stable than ML161, and is a promising lead compound for the parmodulin class for anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory indications.

HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF URBANITY ON THE WATERFRONT
Authors: Karsono Bambang
Published: February 2019

Since the dawn of the civilization, water plays an important role in human life. Water covers 75% of the earth surface and sustains virtually every life form on it. From the early days of human settlement, the banks of themajor rivers such as the Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, Indus and Hwang Ho became the cradle of civilizations. It is here the culture developed and the pattern and morphology of urban settlement became the source of ourknowledge. This paper attempts to overview the main developmental periods of waterfronts around the world. It discusses on the fundamental periods and events which shaped the city water-borne activities and explained how those events influenced the nature of public space on the waterfronts. The port-city that developed since then will be analyzed corresponding to the historical events that are related to the city development. A few cases studies will be shown in order to present a valuable descriptive situation. Corresponding to the above issues, a continuous process that took place in the development of the waterfront will be discussed extensively.

PENTINGNYA ANALISA RUPTURE / REKAHAN GEMPA BUMI SEBAGAI PEDOMAN DALAM PERENCANAAN PERUMAHAN DAN PERMUKIMAN
Authors: Siska Deassy
Published: February 2019

Gempa bumi adalah suatu bencana berupa getaran tanah yang tidak dapat diperkirakan kapan dan dimana akan muncul. Ketika sebuah gempa bumi muncul, dampak yang ditimbulkan bervariasi tergantung pada kekuatan getaran yang terjadi. Akibat  yang ditimbulkan oleh gempa dapat terlihat dari kondisi pasca gempa seperti kerusakan struktur dan infrastruktur serta jumlah korban jiwa. Untuk dapat mencegah atau mengurangi resiko dari dampak sebuah bencana gempa bumi maka perlu adanyatindakan mitigasi yang tepat pasca bencana khususnya di kawasan permukiman. Pada saat terjadinya gempa, gelombang seismik merambat membentuk areal rupture atau rekahan yang simetris dari mulai episentrum hingga jarak tertentu yang membentuk jalur rekahan gempa di sepanjang bidang patahan. Jalur rekahan gempa ini memiliki struktur tanah yang cenderung tidak stabil bila dibandingkan dengan kawasan lainnya diluar area rekahan. Dengan menganalisa jalur rekahan gempa, maka perencanaan perumahan dan permukiman dengan struktur bangunan tahan gempa diharapkan dapat lebih terfokus pada wilayah yang diperkirakan memiliki struktur tanah yang tidak stabil dan berpotensi terjadi hentakan serta rekahan yang besar. Sehingga lebih tepat sasaran dan dapat meminimalisir kerusakan bangunan dan korban jiwa pada saat terjadinya gempa bumi. Teknik penelitian ini menggunakan perangkat lunak Matlab 7.10 (R2010a), Geopsy dan Aplikasi array response function untuk menentukan arah dan jalur serta luasan kawasan rekahan.

Privasi dipahami sebagai kemampuan kontrol seseorang atau sekelompok orang dalam mewujudkan interaksinya dengan orang lain. Privasi membantu seseorang atau sekelompok orang untuk mengatur jarak personalnya, ketika ingin mendekat dan ketika ingin menjauh. Privasi akan selalu dibutuhkan oleh siapapun, kapan pun dan dimana pun, agar diperoleh pencapaian rasa aman dan nyaman didalam melakukan aktivitasnya, termasuk juga disaat berada di pekarangan rumah sebagai ruang terbuka privat. Privasi merupakan tingkatan interaksi atau keterbukaan yang dikehendaki seseorang pada suatu kondisi atau situasi tertentu. Tingkat privasi yang diinginkan itu menyangkut keterbukaan atau ketertutupan, yaitu adanya keinginan untuk berinteraksi dengan orang lain, atau justru ingin menghindar atau berusaha supayasukar dicapai oleh orang lain. Di dalam kajian tentang arsitektur lingkungan dan perilaku, pekarangan rumah tidak hanya dianggap sebagai ruang luar dari rumah saja, tetapi juga ditentukan perlunya faktor lain dalam menentukan pola ruang dalam pekarangan, yaitu kultur, religi, spasial dan perilaku itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu diperlukan penelitian yang berkaitan dengan privasi dan pekarangan rumah dengan konteks yang jelas dan spesifik, untuk memperkaya khasanah arsitektur perilaku dan lingkungan.

Authors: Olvera Castillo Ma. del Carmen
Published: February 2019

Introducción: La universidad es una experiencia estresante, los estudiantes modifican sus patrones de alimentos como una respuesta de adaptación siendo que esto podría aumentar el riesgo de que generen sintomatología relacionada con la depresión. Objetivo: Identificar la relación entre el patrón de alimentos de los aspirantes universitarios y el riesgo de presentar depresión. Material y métodos: Estudio transversal, se analizó la información de 1556 aspirantes universitarios de entre 18 y 25 años de edad que participaron en la investigación multidisciplinaria en obesidad y factores socio-ambientales ("UP AMIGOS 2008"). Se les aplicó un cuestionario sobre síntomas depresivos (CESD-10) y un cuestionario basado en el índice de alimentación saludable. Para conocer la diferencia de medias entre muestras categóricas se realizó prueba de chi cuadrada. La comparación de datos se realizó mediante un análisis de regresión logística. Resultados: Se encontró que existe una relación positiva entre el riesgo de desarrollar depresión con el consumo elevado de embutidos (salchicha, jamón, chorizo) (P=0.008), el bajo consumo de carnes (P=0.013) y con pertenecer al sexo femenino (P<0.001).  Conclusiones: Los síntomas depresivos deben monitorearse en los universitarios en especial las mujeres y en aquéllos que consumen alimentos con alto contenido de sal.
