Authors: Palomino Manchego José , Paiva Goyburu Dante
Published: November 2019

Mediante este artículo se exponen una serie de reflexiones en torno al desarrollo de la representacióny la participación política en el marco de Estado Social y Democrático de Derecho. En este sentido, se inicia abordando los aspectos conceptuales de estas instituciones, analizando los diversos conceptos que ofrece la doctrina. La representación y la participación política se asocian con el derecho a la participación ciudadana en la vida política, derecho que se ha venido consolidando en Iberoamérica, región donde las dictaduras y censuras han sido continuas, y como tal, el siglo XXI ha permitido ir perfeccionando, incorporándose otros derechos vinculados, como es el derecho fundamental a ser elegidos.Sumamente importante en este ámbito, en el caso peruano, resulta la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional, la cual en los últimos años ha establecido criterios que permiten definir el contenido esencial de los derechos políticos, así como su marco de protección mediante los procesos constitucionales.

Published: November 2019

This research utilized Augmented Reality (AR) technology along with interactive multimedia applications to improve visual guidance and assist nonexpert users in assembling furniture. Rather than paperbased or video instructions, AR enhanced learning and manipulative-interactive approach. This research used the Waterfall model for development. It was divided into a couple of stages. It consisted of specifying the problem and requirements, designing the system, implementing and integrating it, and testing the system. Identifying problems and requirements was conducted through an online questionnaire and related works study. The graphics tool used was 3D Studio Max. Unity3d was used to develop the system with the software library from Qualcomm’s Vuforia for the AR implementation. The results show the mobile application called ARsembly. It serves as the early stage of concept model as it only assists the simple assembly. Through system testing performed by both researchers and end-users, ARsembly is proven to be useful and helpful in learning and performing furniture assembly.

Authors: Zulkefli Adibah M. , Muthalif Asan G. A. , Nordin Diyana N. H. , Syam Thaer M. I.
Published: November 2019

One of the significant symptoms in Parkinson’s disease is resting tremor. Resting tremor occurs when the muscle is relaxed, causing the limb to shake. Rhythmic muscle movement of the patients commonly happens within the range of 4 Hz to 6 Hz. Thus, reducing this type of tremor will help improve patients’ quality of life. In this paper, to suppress resting tremors, an intelligent glove was designed utilizing the concepts of vibrations and gyro effect. A rotating brass disc attached to the glove creates a gyroscopic effect of the smart glove. Therefore, the disc will do their utmost to stay upright and counter any input forces instantaneously by providing the counterforce. A reduction of more than 50 % with the intelligent glove is also shown.

Authors: Bose Arnab , Sathujoda Prabhakar
Published: November 2019

Three-dimensional Finite Element (FE) analysis has been carried out using ANSYS software to study the natural frequencies of functionally graded (FG) rotor system. Temperature and position-dependent material properties of the FG shaft system are considered to be graded in the radial direction. Power-law with the nonlinear temperature distribution (NLTD) and exponential law with exponential temperature distribution (ETD) have been used to model the material gradation and temperature distribution. Rotor systems of two different FG materials, namely Stainless Steel-ZrO2 and Stainless Steel-Al2O3 have been studied. Python codes have been developed to generate ANSYS macros that apply the material properties. Simply supported FG shaft and FG rotor system supported on bearings have been analyzed in the current work. The results show the influence of different power-law coefficients, different material and material laws on the natural frequencies of the rotor system. The effect of these parameters on whirl frequencies has also been studied for FG rotor systems.

Authors: Fomin Oleksij , Lovska Alyona , Píštěk Václav , Kučera Pavel
Published: November 2019

The article presents result of computational modelling of container dynamic load during transportation as a part of trains of intermodal transport on a railway ferry. The computational models were developed which account the movement of the container with regard to the frame of the flat wagon while moving of the railway ferry. It was assumed that there is no movement of the flat wagon with regard to the deck, since these movements were limited by fastening means. The obtained acceleration rates, as components of the dynamic loads acting on the container, were accounted while determining the containers stability coefficient with regard to the flat wagons. The railway ferry heeling angles which ensure the stability of the containers were determined. The researches will ensure safety of transportation of containers as a part of trains of intermodal transport on a railway ferry, as well as increase the efficiency of operation of intermodal transport in the international transport.

Published: November 2019

Solar energy is a non-conventional source of energy. Solar panels generate electrical output by absorbing solar radiation. The performance of photovoltaic (PV) module often depends on environmental factors like dust, humidity, hail and temperature. Installation elements like altitude, installation site, tilt angle also affects the efficiency of solar energy output. The objective of this research work is to clean the dust deposited on PV panels using the minimum amount of water and energy. To regularly clean the dust, a semi-automatic self-cleaning mechanism has been designed and fabricated, which cleans the deposited dust on the solar panel automatically. Therefore, the process turns out to be reliable and faster and it leads to increased power output of the solar panels. An experimental investigation has been done at Bennett University, Greater Noida dated 15 October to 21st October 2019. An increase in efficiency by 1.2 % to 3 % was reported in this experimental study.
Feasibility study on the application of carbon dioxide phase change fracturing technology in a foundation pit of an open cut tunnel
Authors: Liu Shijie , Huang Zhenghong
Published: November 2019

Carbon dioxide phase change fracturing technology is a brand-new and efficient cracking and tunneling technology. Because the method utilizes the change of carbon dioxide state, it belongs to a pure physical process. By adjusting the release rate of gaseous substances, it can effectively control the pressure of the gas, and achieve micro vibration, zero flying stone, zero toxic gas emission, and no micro harmful effect of shock wave, but the application of carbon dioxide phase change cracking technology in urban foundation pit excavation is less. In this paper, through the analysis of three different cracking parameters of urban foundation pit excavation process, it is found that when the diameter of the cracked pipe is 85 mm, the construction safety can be guaranteed. In addition, according to the on-site cracking effect, the carbon dioxide phase change cracking technology is a safe, reliable, relatively economical and efficient excavation technology under urban complex environmental conditions, and will not affect the surrounding environment during use, but Its cracking efficiency has a great relationship with the air surface.

Authors: Mithun Praveen Hemanth , Shah Divya , Pandey Krishna Dutt , I Vamsi , G R Sabareesh
Published: November 2019

Fault prognosis of wind turbine gearbox has received considerable attention as it predicts the remaining useful life which further allows the scheduling of maintenance strategies. However, the studies related towards the RUL prediction of wind turbine gearbox are limited, because of the complexity of gearbox, acute changes in the operating conditions and non-linear nature of the acquired vibration signals. In this study, a health indicator is constructed in order to predict the remaining useful life of the wind turbine gearbox. Run to fail experiments are performed on a laboratory scaled wind turbine gearbox of overall gear ratio 1:100. Vibration signals are acquired and decomposed through continuous wavelet transform to obtain the wavelet coefficients. Various statistical features are computed from the wavelet coefficients which return form high-dimensional input feature set. Principal component analysis is performed to reduce the dimensionality and principal components (PCs) are computed from the input feature set. PC1 is considered as the health indicator and subjected to further smoothening by linear rectification technique. Exponential degradation model is fit to the considered health indicator and the model is able to predict the RUL of the gearbox with an error percentage of 2.73 %.
The Wheel and the Cloister in the Rule of Seclusion: Architectural Elements or Elements of a Communication System?
Authors: Palmieri Alice
Published: November 2019

When Walter Benjamin describes Naples, he defines its architecture ’porous like this stone’ assimilating the structural characteristic of the tuff to an architectural model, characterized by voids and openings that create an interpenetration between interior and exterior. These continuous breakthroughs also characterize the life of Neapolitans who are used to living the street as part of social life. Right in the historical centre, where these dynamics are deeply present, there are some cloistered convents that by definition are closed to the city. This paper investigates sacred architecture not as a celebrative space, but as a place of living for religious communities. The focus is on the monasteries: peculiar structures deeply marked in the architecture by the need for confidentiality and therefore to create filters, physical and visual, with the rest of the urban area. The convents of Naples, through the wheels (intended for the passage of offerings) and through the cloisters, establish a relationship with the city that over the centuries has changed with a progressive opening to the inhabitants who are now allowed to get closer to these realities. The research finally deepens the architecture of the convent of Santa Maria in Gerusalemme, commonly known as the monastery of ‘the Thirty-three’, adjacent to the historical hospital of the Incurabili with which it shares its origins since both were founded by the Venerable Maria Lorenza Longo. Despite the closure and the high fence wall, the presence of the monastery is very strong: it is a reference and a listening point, where the ancient wooden wheel still represents a way of communication between the residents of the district and the nuns. In the same way, the cloister and the refectory have transformed their function over the centuries, becoming spaces for public events, while remaining in line with the rules of the Order.The study of the structure and dynamics of communication from/to the convent proposes a reflection on the transformations of religious architecture in the urban context and on the changes in language and meaning of the architectural elements characterizing the monastery.

Authors: Adaeze Bob-Chile A. , Amadi Peter U.
Published: November 2019

Background:

The assessment of underexploited leaves has become crucial to supplement the
rapidly depleting sources of bioactive components as well as provide available nutrient sources for local
inhabitants.

Methods:

This study thus investigated the bioactive components of the oil, and fatty acid composition,
free radical scavenging potentials, and protein qualities of leaves of Z. mays and G. celosioides using
standard methods. The bioactive components of the oils and fatty acids were determined by Gas Chromatograpy,
while the amino acid and in-vitro antioxidant potentials were determined using a Technicon
Sequential Multi-Sample (TSM) Amino Acid Analyzer, and spectrophotometer, respectively.

Results:

The Z. Mays leaves showed the abundance of farnesene, hexadecanoic acids, and caryophellene
while G. celosioides produced high level of octadecadienoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, and phytol. Z.
mays and G. celosioides contained 72.48% and 60.55% unsaturated fatty acids respectively, with the
abundance of linolenic acid for Z. mays and oleic acid for G. celosioides. The result for the in vitro antioxidant
% inhibition showed a concentration dependent free radical scavenging potentials of the leaves.
Both G. celosioides and Z. mays produced greater 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and hydrogen
peroxide radical scavenging potentials than ascorbic acid, while at 40ppm the nitric oxide and 2,2-
azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical % inhibition of Z. mays leaves were
lower than those for ascorbic acid.

Discussion:

The number of essential amino acids in both plants were 48.20 and 39.25 g/100g, total
branched chain amino acids (TBCAA) were 21.15 and 16.92 g/100g, predicted protein efficiency ratios
(P-PERs) were in the range of 3.02-3.23 and 2.68-2.77, and the essential amino acid index (EAAI) were
1.52 and 1.48, for Z. mays and G. celosioides leaves respectively.

Conclusion:

From these results, the utilization of Z. mays and G. celosioides for high quality protein,
unsaturated fatty acids and potent antioxidant sources, should be massively encouraged.

Authors: Bhardwaj Monika , Pandey Sujata , Pandey Neeta
Published: November 2019

A high performance low power phase frequency detector is designed and simulated.
The various different parameters of the circuit are obtained through various type of simulations.
We worked mainly upon the power dissipation, power supply, input frequency range and its area.
The proposed PFD will have the locking capability i.e. to lock at the edges either on the rising or
falling edge w.r.t the reference and the feedback signal. The proposed design will have the very
high performance and ultra-low phase noise. It has the added advantage of low cost and the compact
size. The primary objective is to design a low power phase frequency detector for CMOS
PLL Frequency Synthesizer using lows power technique. The pass transistor logic is used in the
circuit to eliminate the reset path. By this change of the path the operating frequency and operating
speed both are increased in the proposed design. The input Frequency can be taken up to 5 gigahertz.
The power supply is taken to be 1 V. The proposed PFD design will have a less number
of transistors and also a low consumption of power. The output pulses of the PFD at phase difference
of 0, 0, п/2, п, 3п/2, 2п will have its average voltage as 0, VDD and VDD/2. The proposed
phase detector will perfectly detect the phase difference between two signals so that the harmonics
problem can be minimized. The proposed design is having its operating frequency as 5GHz over
the conventional one which has its frequency as 800MHz. Power dissipation in the proposed design
is reduced due to less number of transistors used as compared with the conventional one. The
operating region has become much wider for proposed design as it is having operating frequency
much higher than that of the conventional one the proposed PFD will increase the locking capability
on the both rise and fall edge w.r.t. the reference and the feedback signal. The input Frequency
can be taken up to 5 gigahertz. The power supply is taken to be 1 V. The proposed PFD circuit
will have a less number of transistors and also a low consumption of power 7.14 mW.

Hace trescientos años, los investigadores rehuían publicar las conclusiones de sus estudios, ocultándolos, con la única finalidad de que nadie se apropiara de ellas. No obstante, en nuestros tiempos, la mejor manera de resguardar el producto de una investigación y salir del anonimato es publicando los resultados. Así, nacieron las primeras revistas de publicación científica. Desde entonces, publicar es crucial para el incremento y desarrollo científico.En algunos países de América Latina existe un desarrollo importante de la actividad científica. Sin embargo, en estas naciones la producción de conocimiento es incipiente, comparado con países desarrollados. Probablemente esta diferencia en la fecundación del conocimiento puede estar  relacionada con el tipo de inclusión social, organización y avances de cada país. Una manera de acercarse al desarrollo científico de los países, está relacionada con los aportes realizados desde la academia y la comunicación de los hallazgos obtenidos en los procesos investigativos. Por tanto, la puesta en marcha de la Revista Avances en Salud, posibilita un espacio en el marco de la divulgación del trabajo investigativo.Pensando en lo anterior, la Facultad Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Córdoba planificó el tener una revista con la suficiente calidad como para que su proyección fuera, al menos, de carácter nacional. Tal pensamiento, nutrido por los principios nucleares del periodismo científico, como son la producción literaria original, el respeto por la autoría, la revisión por pares idóneos y la conservación de la ética de la investigación, es la piedra angular que soporta y sustenta el esfuerzo que hoy se materializa, al ver la luz el primer número de la Revista Avances en Salud de la Facultad Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Córdoba.El desafío, pasando por el reto académico e intelectual y con el insustituible apoyo de la Universidad de Córdoba, es robustecer la calidad de la revista y potenciar su perceptibilidad nacional. Algo que, con dedicación y esfuerzo, señalará el norte de esta publicación que tendrá una frecuencia inicial semestral y que espera responder al cada vez más competente y selecto grupo de lectores interesados en temas de salud.Con la revista Avances  en Salud, se reafirma que la necesidad de información y comunicación en   el establecimiento de redes investigativas para la comunidad científica, es una oportunidad que se pretende fortalecer, con la puesta en marcha de la misma. Reto académico este, que se espera sea asumido por nuestros lectores y por la comunidad académica y científica en general, quien debe posibilitar un proceso de integración y orientación en el área de las ciencias de la salud.Con la pretención de responder a las expectativas generadas, queda a su disposición este primer número de la revista Avances en Salud de la Facultad Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Córdoba.

Published: November 2019

Los determinantes de salud son propiedades basadas en el estilo de vida afectadas por amplias fuerzas sociales, económicas y políticas que influyen la calidad de la salud  personal  (1). Dentro de este grupo de propiedades se encuentran en un plano distal los determinantes culturales, los cuales son indispensables para el abordaje y entendimiento del proceso salud-enfermedad en una sociedad. A  pesar  de no existir una definición concreta sobre determinantes culturales, en el ejercicio para aproximarnos en la construcción de este, es conveniente primeramente definir el concepto de cultura, la cual, es entendida como conjunto de valores, costumbres, creencia y prácticas que constituyen la forma de vida de un grupo específico (2). Luego entonces, la cultura como determinante, son todas las formas y expresiones que  caracterizan  una  población y determinan su estado de salud, tales como, etnicidad, el nivel educativo, género, religión, lengua, cosmovisión, arquetipos, creencias, costumbres y valores.
El derecho a la salud en Colombia: evolución y defensa frente a un estado que dista de ser garante.
Authors: Julio Pretelt José Domingo
Published: November 2019

En Colombia, el proceso y manejo que se le ha dado al derecho a la salud no ha sido uniforme. Antes    de la sentencia T-760 de 2008, ya el derecho a la salud existía consagrado directa e indirectamente en la Constitución Política de 1991, en  varios de sus artículos, entre ellos el artículo 44, 48, 49, 365   y 366, entre otros relacionados. Pese a ello, las vulneraciones sistemáticas realizadas al derecho a la salud de los colombianos hicieron que en el país hubiera un viraje en la forma de cómo garantizar la salud y es así como este derecho fue adecuando a las intenciones del constituyente y posteriormente tomando una posicion categórica por los honorables jueces de la República, a tal punto que la salud en Colombia, pasó de ser un derecho social, económico y cultural a ser un derecho fundamental por conexidad y finalmente un derecho Fundamental autónomo.En este artículo, veremos  un  breve  resumen  de  su evolución y los mecanismos actuales para defenderla, así como posibles formas de defender la salud en Colombia teniendo en cuenta la normativa nacional e internacional vigente.

In-depth interview was used, and the results were analyzed using a reduced version of Amedeo Giorgi’s method.  Results.  Two   central themes emerged from the data:  Diagnosis implications for the personal, social and, family life of a teenager suffering from cancer and family support as crucial in coping with the disease.  The support of the family was essential in overcoming cancer in an adolescent. Solid social support to the patient favored the processes of living, adapting, coping with and, overcoming cancer. Conclusions. The study allowed the researchers to understand an adolescent’s experience of living with osteosarcoma, revealing a particular world that has not been explored in depth.  Sometimes childhood cancer is considered a devastating disease, which has severe implications for the patient and his family forcing them to reorganize their family and social dynamics to adapt and fight against that disease.
Association Between HIV-Related Tweets and HIV Incidence in the United States: Infodemiology Study (Preprint)
Authors: Stevens Robin , Bonett Stephen , Bannon Jacqueline , Chittamuru Deepti , Slaff Barry , Browne Safa K , Huang Sarah , Bauermeister José A
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Adolescents and young adults in the age range of 13-24 years are at the highest risk of developing HIV infections. As social media platforms are extremely popular among youths, researchers can utilize these platforms to curb the HIV epidemic by investigating the associations between the discourses on HIV infections and the epidemiological data of HIV infections.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study was to examine how Twitter activity among young men is related to the incidence of HIV infection in the population.

METHODS

We used integrated human-computer techniques to characterize the HIV-related tweets by male adolescents and young male adults (age range: 13-24 years). We identified tweets related to HIV risk and prevention by using natural language processing (NLP). Our NLP algorithm identified 89.1% (2243/2517) relevant tweets, which were manually coded by expert coders. We coded 1577 HIV-prevention tweets and 17.5% (940/5372) of general sex-related tweets (including emojis, gifs, and images), and we achieved reliability with intraclass correlation at 0.80 or higher on key constructs. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the spatial patterns in posting HIV-related tweets as well as the relationships between the tweets and local HIV infection rates.

RESULTS

We analyzed 2517 tweets that were identified as relevant to HIV risk and prevention tags; these tweets were geolocated in 109 counties throughout the United States. After adjusting for region, HIV prevalence, and social disadvantage index, our findings indicated that every 100-tweet increase in HIV-specific tweets per capita from noninstitutional accounts was associated with a multiplicative effect of 0.97 (95% CI [0.94-1.00]; P=.04) on the incidence of HIV infections in the following year in a given county.

CONCLUSIONS

Twitter may serve as a proxy of public behavior related to HIV infections, and the association between the number of HIV-related tweets and HIV infection rates further supports the use of social media for HIV disease prevention.

Based on the data of China’s direct investment and trade in ASEAN countries from 2004 to 2018, this paper established a variable parameter model, variable intercept model and constant coefficient model with panel data, and investigated the heterogeneous impact of China’s direct investment in ASEAN countries on their import and export trade and the impact mechanism. It is found that China’s direct investment in ASEAN will be deposited in the trade between China and 10 ASEAN countries, creating effects for trade, and the size of the effect varies with the host country. On average, when other factors remain unchanged, every 1 percentage point increase in China’s direct investment flows to ASEAN countries will increase exports to ASEAN countries by 0.54%, imports will increase by 0.44%. Further studies have found that our country to Brunei, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand’s export create effect is greater than the imported create effect, on the whole, China’s investment in the five countries promoted the net exports, mainly on its investment in China, led to many mechanical equipment and other related products exports, and imports mainly import countries have their comparative advantages of products, variety is less.

Published: November 2019

Aim:
To estimate direct and indirect costs of surgical treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) from a self-insured employer's perspective.
Methods:
Employer-sponsored insurance claims data were analyzed to estimate costs owing to absence and short-term disability 1 year following global endometrial ablation (GEA), outpatient hysterectomy (OPH) and inpatient hysterectomy (IPH).
Results:
Costs for women who had GEA are substantially less than costs for women who had either OPH or IPH, with the difference ranging from approximately $7700 to approximately $10,000 for direct costs and approximately $4200 to approximately $4600 for indirect costs. Women who had GEA missed 21.8–24.0 fewer works days.
Conclusion:
Study results suggest lower healthcare costs associated with GEA versus OPH or IPH from a self-insured employer perspective.
Effect of oxygen addition on the formation of anatase TiO2 nano-coatings obtained by spray pyrolysis technique
Authors: Benzait Zineb , Tatar Demet , Ertuğrul Mehmet
Published: November 2019

High-quality anatase phased titanium dioxide thin films were prepared in this work using an easy, simple and cost-effective method. Normal, partially and highly oxygen-enriched atmospheres were provided during the spray pyrolysis deposition of titania in order to study the oxygen effect on the structure and morphology of the films prepared. High crystalline anatase nano-coatings stable at high temperature (700°C) could be obtained through the delaying of anatase-to-rutile transformation due to the filling of oxygen vacancies by the oxygen added to the spraying atmosphere. These nano-coatings constitute promising materials for different applications such as hydroxyapatite coated metal implanting, rechargeable lithium ion batteries fabrication, gas sensing and photocatalytic applications.

Published: November 2019

This paper identifles and determines the main parameters used to calculate the dlscharge coefficlent of a toroidal Venturl nozzle accordlng to the ISO Standard 9300, operating at the critical flow regime (sonlc). Thls study was conducted to investigate the effeds of the viscous stresses In the turbulent boundary layer, the wall thermal boundary condition, and the flow fleld curvature at the nucleus of the nozzle on the dlscharge coefflclent by means of a theoretical and numerlcal approach. Characterlzation of the dlscharge coefflclent in the Venturi sonlc nozzle was performed consldering the viscous and multidlmenslonal effects of the flujd flow as uncoupled phenomenon. As a result. each non-ideal mechanism can be  analyzed independently from the Inftuence of the other mechanlsm. We present a numerlcal procedure to characterlze the dlscharge coefflclent In the invlscld reglon of the ftow, by uslng the numerical simulation of the inviscld maln ftow by means of the commerclal CFD code. In the region of the vlscous stresses, the charaderlzation of thls coefflclent is based on the analytlcal theory of the turbulent boundary layer. Thls charaderization allowed obtalning a correlation of the dlscharge coefflclent that was valldated by dlred comparlson between the experimental correlations of the dlscharge coefflclent In turbulent boundary layer proposed by ISO-9300 and the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Sclence (KRISS). Thls valldation was carried out for throat Reynolds numbers from 1.4 to 2.6x10'. The agreement of the theoretical and measured dlscharge coefflclents by these correlations was better than  0.2%.
STRATEGY OF SOLUTION FOR THE INVENTORY ROUTING PROBLEM BASED ON SEPARABLE CROSS DECOMPOSITION
Authors: Elizondo-Cortés M. , Aceves-García R.
Published: November 2019

The Inventory-Routing Problem (IRP) involves a central warehouse, a fleet of trucks wlth finlte capacity, a set of customers, and a known storage capacity. The objective is to determine when to serve each customer, as well as what route each truck should take, with the lowest expense. IRP is a NP-hard problem, this means that searching for solutions can take a very long time. A three-phase strategy is used to solve the problem. This strategy is constructedn by answering the key questions: Which customers should be attended in a planned period? What volume of n products should be delivered to each customer? And, which route should be followed by each truck? The second phase uses Cross Separable Decomposition to solve an Allocation Problem, in order to answer questions two and three, solving a location problem. The result is a very efficient ranking algorithm O(n3) for large cases of the lRP.
Innovation rate of change measurement part 1: Information Technology (IT)
Authors: Vega-González L. R.
Published: November 2019

It is possible to characterize the different stages of history according the type of technology available. The last fifty years of human history have been referred to as “The Information Age" because of the great advancements and innovations of technology in electronics, computers and communications. The first part of this work presents a method based on the generation and exploitation of a database for the measurement of information technology gradients. The lack of the innovative data in earlier historic times is compensated by the consideration of the transport technologies as IT. The obtained result is a clear exponential growth curve. If the IT is driver of the global change, the notorious changes in the resulting graph can be related to the appearance of the Kondrattief cycles or "K" waves. Modelski [48] pointed out that the evolution of economic processes is closely related to the rate of growth in technological learning. According to the obtained results, the expected rate of change for IT innovation during the first two decades of the XXI Century will surely surpass the rate of change of technological learning. This will probably generate a non-sustainable system unless a change in the human consciousness occurs. Apparently, the sustainable evolution of the world system will depend on the appropriate technological selections, provoking the adjustment of innovation gradients to the rates of technological learning within the next generational cycles.

Published: November 2019

The design and assembly of a mechanism to bend schedule 80 stainless steel pipe up to 1 ½ in nominal diameter is presented. The use of a relatively small hydraulic actuator, coupled with a toothed wheel to produce the bending torque, is a novel approach to the process. The bending method uses two arms and a radius block in order to accomplish the bending. The hydraulic power consumption in the machine is very small (750 W, 3.4 MPa, 11.4 in/min). The strongest restriction upon the design is that it could be manufactured in small shops, with a cost low enough to be profitable even for a small production volume.
