Iterative Learning for Laboratory Electro-Hydraulic Fully Flexible
Valve Actuation System Transient Control
Authors: Wu Hai , Kang Jun-Mo , Yang Xiaofeng , Huffman Tito
Published: February 2024

Fully flexible valve actuation (FFVA) is a key enabling technology of internal
engine combustion research and development. Two laboratory electro-hydraulic
FFVA systems have been developed and implemented in R&D test cells. These
FFVA systems were designed using repetitive control (RC), which is based on
internal model principle (IMP), for constant engine speed operation. With the
engine operating in a steady-state condition, the valve profile input is
periodic. This can be accommodated by a repetitive controller, which provides
the function of flexible control to step changes in valve lift, valve opening
duration, and cam phase angle position.

During engine speed transients, as the valve reference trajectory becomes
aperiodic in the time domain, the controllers based on the linear time invariant
(LTI) IMP, such as RC, are no longer applicable. Engine speed transient control
is a desired function to engine research and other similar applications, such as
motor control. Several investigations are reported with limited results because
of the assumption of IMP and periodic input.

This article presents the control design and verification of the iterative
learning control (ILC) algorithm for the laboratory electro-hydraulic FFVA
system. This algorithm tracks valve lift profiles under steady-state and
transient operation. A dynamic model of the plant was obtained from experimental
data to design and verify the effectiveness and robustness of this approach. The
simple structure of the ILC in implementation and low cost in computation are
crucial benefits to recommend the ILC. It is not an IMP-based approach, and its
structure does not depend on the system input. Therefore, it has higher
robustness to perturbation and modeling errors than other control methods for
repetitive valve lift profile tracking tasks.

An Improved Semi-Transient Brake Cooling Simulation
Method
Authors: Ni Jun , Li Bo , Yuan Qingpeng , Ran Xin , Liang Changqiu , Liao Huihong
Published: February 2024

In this article, an improved brake cooling simulation method is introduced. By
this method, the vehicle parameters, such as weight, height of the center of
gravity, wheelbase, and the like can be included to calculate the braking
thermal load under different operating conditions. The effect of the brake
kinetic energy regeneration (BKER) on the braking thermal load can also be
calculated by this method. The calculated braking thermal load is then input to
a coupled 3D simulation model to conduct flow and thermal simulation to
calculate brake disc temperature. It is demonstrated that by this simulation
method, the difference between the brake disc temperatures obtained from
simulation and vehicle test can be controlled below 5%.
The Influence of Torsional Vibrations on the Longevity of Manual
Transmission Synchronizers and the Durability of Clutch Dampers
Authors: Jagtap Amol , Rudramath Sagar , Chollangi Damodar , Bhandari Kiran
Published: February 2024

This study delves into the impact of engine torsional vibration on transmission
component failures, specifically synchronizers and clutch damper springs.
Synchronizers are crucial in ensuring smooth gear shifts by synchronizing the
rotational speeds of the transmission input and output shafts. While design
factors such as geometry, friction material, and lubrication are often
attributed to synchronizer failures, engine-generated torsional vibrations
significantly affect their lifespan. Clutch damper mechanisms integrated into
the clutch disc are designed to mitigate these vibrations. This research employs
1D powertrain simulation modeling to predict powertrain torsional vibration
behavior. Additionally, rig tests are conducted to simulate vehicle-level
angular accelerations and examine the impact of torsional vibrations on
synchronizer life. The results provide valuable insights into optimizing clutch
damper design to effectively dampen vibrations and prolong transmission
component lifespan.
Diesel Fuel-Fired Heater Emissions from a Battery Electric Transit
Bus in Real-World Conditions
Authors: Humphries Kieran , Rashid Hussein , Araji Fadi
Published: February 2024

Battery electric transit buses sold in Canada generally include a fuel-fired
diesel auxiliary heater for cabin heating in cold weather. This report details a
test project, performed in collaboration with OC Transpo, to capture and
quantify the emissions from such a fuel-fired heater (FFH) installed on a New
Flyer XE40 battery electric transit bus from OC Transpo’s fleet in Ottawa,
Canada. The FFH was tested while the bus was both stationary and being driven
on-road in cold conditions. The results include the emissions rates of carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and methane, and soot.
Additionally, total particulate matter results were obtained during stationary
testing. The results of stationary testing were compared to the California Air
Resources Board and European Union standards for FFH emissions, even though
these standards do not apply directly to buses operated outside of these
jurisdictions. During stationary testing, average emissions of carbon monoxide
and non-methane organic gases (hydrocarbons) were 0.069 g/mi and 0.035 g/mi,
respectively, which are both within their respective regulated limits for FFH
emissions in California. However, the California nitrogen oxide limit was
exceeded during stationary testing with an average value of 0.337 g/mi. In
addition, momentary exceedances of the concentration limits for carbon monoxide
and hydrocarbons set in European Union Regulation 122 were detected during
stationary testing, but these were very short-lived.

Practice of academic and applicative archaeology in Slovenia from a social epistemological perspective
Authors: Novaković Predrag
Published: February 2024

In the relatively abundant bibliography on archaeological theory and epistemology the impact of archaeological practice on archaeological epistemology has remained somehow less explored despite the fact that in the last three decades archaeology has undergone radical changes in practice. We would like to point to three interconnected trends: an exceptional increase in the amount of archaeological fieldwork, the fact that probably more than 90% of all field projects are in the domain of heritage protection, and that archaeology has become a data-driven discipline, producing new circumstances which challenge the traditional epistemological views and require social epistemological rethinking. This paper aims to explore some social epistemological aspects in current archaeological practice in Slovenia where two rather distinctive groups of archaeological researchers emerged, academic archaeologists and field professionals. The distinction between the two groups has grown since the late 1990s with the introduction of preventive archaeology, changes in legislation in heritage protection, and the development of the commercial sector in archaeology. These changes opened a series of questions on epistemic effects in new circumstances, e.g. how these two groups contribute to archaeological knowledge, how their modes of obtaining knowledge are structured and organized, what social factors condition these modes, and, least but not last, the question of forms of epistemic asymmetries.

Published: February 2024

The Malaysian government, under the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK-12), has set a goal to achieve a self-sufficient level (SSL) of 70% for rice production. Accurate and timely spatiotemporal information on harvested rice extent is required to measure progress towards achieving the SSL for rice. Remote sensing technology has been widely used to provide information on rice extent in large areas rapidly. The aim of this study is to create maps of rice extent and cropping patterns in the IADA Barat Laut Selangor (BLS) using a combination of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery data from Sentinel-1, optical imagery data at level-2A or Surface Reflectance (SR) from Sentinel-2, the unsupervised K-means clustering method, and the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud-based computing platform. The clustering results were then classified into rice and non-rice groups, and used to generate rice cropping patterns based on their representative profiles of temporal composite values of VH backscatter of Sentinel-1 data and NDVI of Sentinel-2 data. The accuracy of the map products was evaluated using a confusion matrix based on visual interpretation using very high-resolution imagery in Google Earth (GE) and compared with the existing data from IADA BLS. The rice extent map generated at 10-meter resolution exhibited excellent accuracy with an overall accuracy of 98% and a kappa coefficient of 0.95. The estimated rice parcel area in IADA BLS for 2021 was 17,864 ha, which is close to the existing data of 18,785 ha. The comparison of results in the irrigation block also indicated that the rice field area agreed well with the statistical data, with an R2 of 0.95, RMSE of 357 ha, and relative discrepancy of 4.9%. The cropping pattern also showed satisfactory results as compared to the existing data. These findings demonstrate that the proposed methodology can provide high-accuracy rice extent map products and has the potential to be applied to rice fields across Malaysia and other tropical regions to address food security issues.

Published: February 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has been the worst in recent times. This pandemic poses significant impacts to the social, economic, environmental, and employment sectors in general, particularly health workers. In the COVID-19 pandemic, health workers are extremely in demand because they are responsible for treating COVID-19 patients who have suffered a higher risk from infection. Health care workers are not only at risk of disease, the pandemic also had several other implications. This study examines the existing literature on the effects of COVID-19 on health worker demand. A systematic review of the Scopus and Web of Science using the PRISMA Statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) review technique found 27 relevant studies. Analysis of these articles revealed five main themes: mental health, working conditions, providing medical property, cost production, and supply. A total of seventeen sub-themes were created from these five themes. These study findings may contribute to providing support and identifying the requirements of health workers in all impacted countries, allowing them to work and respond to the pandemic with confidence. Additional research is needed to uncover the effects of health workers on the frontlines to better design, prepare for, and respond to future pandemics.

This study examines the management of common pool resources in the context of clean water management by the village. This research departs from the lack of water availability for Prambanan residents who live in hilly areas, this is especially true when entering the dry season. The purpose of this study is to explain that the village is the right institution for managing shared resources or common pool resources where the Village Government and Water User Management Organizations (OPPA) are the factors that determine the success of using common pool resources in meeting clean water needs for the community. With the method of collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation related to the required data. This research is qualitative research, with the study method being a qualitative case study. Based on the results of research and data analysis obtained, some of the efforts that have been made by the Government cannot be said to be effective and are not a solution to overcome the drought problem in Kapanewon Prambanan hilly areas but after the management is handed over to the village the distribution of water becomes more even for the community. In conclusion, in the management of shared resources or common pool resources, villages are the right institutions to manage shared resources or common pool resources because they are distributed more evenly to the community and can improve the welfare of the village community itself. With the management of clean water by the village, the burden of the government in overcoming the drought problem in the community can be overcome.

Unmasking the Lived Experiences of Hotel Workers on the Impact of Covid-19
Authors: Concepcion Ma. Melinda C.
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the experiences, coping mechanisms, and insights of hotel employees in Zamboanga City during the COVID-19 pandemic. The phenomenological approach was used to analyze the lived experiences of hotel workers, focusing on the human aspect of the crisis. The study highlights themes such as temporary accommodation schemes, exceptional hospitality services, financial challenges of hotel workers, travel restrictions and uncertainties, emotional struggles experienced by hotel workers, provision of stopgap support, and skeletal workforce establishment. Coping strategies include adhering to health protocols, ensuring healthcare, receiving charitable assistance, and receiving motivation from loved ones. The study also highlights personal growth, positive values, and the value of government and family support during the pandemic. The pandemic has prompted businesses to implement business continuity plans, with hotels reducing staff to maintain operations and protect workers’ health and safety. Family remains a motivator, with many employees relying on income to cover essential expenses. Financial responsibilities and a sense of duty to their families also motivate employees to continue working. The research paper suggests future studies should consider post-pandemic scenarios and explore topics like stress, anxiety, burnout, and coping mechanisms. Hotel management should implement better health and safety practices, create a secure working environment, support remote work policies, and communicate their commitment to employee safety.

Quantity and Measure in Hegel’s Science of Logic
Authors: Houlgate Stephen
Published: February 2024

Hegel on Being provides an authoritative treatment of Hegel’s entire logic of being. Stephen Houlgate presents the Science of Logic as an important and neglected text within Hegel’s oeuvre that should occupy a more significant place in the history of philisophy. In the Science of Logic, Hegel set forth a distinctive conception of the most fundamental forms of being through a close study of quality, quantity and measure. Exploring the full trajectory of Hegel's logic of being from quality to measure, this two-volumework by a preeminent Hegel scholar situates Hegel's text in relation to the work of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, and Frege.

Lucidly written, with characteristic philosophical depth and analysis, Houlgate’s Hegel on Being explicates one of Hegel’s most complex works, providing a vital reference for a generation of Hegel scholars and a major contribution to the literature on 19th-century German philosophy.

Dispensasyonalizm: Tarihi, Öğretileri ve Etkileri
Authors: Elmas Büşra
Published: February 2024

Dispensasyonalizm, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde özellikle Evanjelik Hıristiyanların teolojisinde önemli etki bırakmış bir tarih anlayışıdır. Bu anlayışa sahip kimseler açısından dispensasyonlar, dünya tarihinin dönemlerine işaret etmektedir. Genelde yedi aşama olarak belirlenen bu dönemlendirmelerin her birinde Tanrı-insan ilişkisi farklı şekilde kurulmuştur. Dispensasyonalizm düşüncesini John Nelson Darby geliştirmiştir. Darby’nin literal ve fütürist yorumu, onu Kutsal Kitap kehanetlerinde İsrail ve Kilise’nin yerini ayırmaya itmiştir. Darby’den sonra özellikle C. I. Scofield’ın Scofield Reference Bible’ı Darby’nin fikirlerinin Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde son derece popülerleşmesini sağlamıştır.
Bu makalede dispensasyonalizmin tarihi süreci, kurucusu olan John Nelson Darby ve onun dispensasyonalizm görüşü tarihsel olarak ele alınacaktır. Makalede Darby’nin dispensasyonalizm düşüncesinin Evanjelikler arasında yaygınlık kazandığı, özellikle göğe yükseliş ve Kilise ile İsrail’in ilahî planda yerini ayrı tutma düşüncesinin Evanjelik Hıristiyanların İsrail’e desteklerinin teolojik arka planını beslediği ve Amerikan popüler kültüründe muhtelif etkileri olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
Michel Foucault: El alma es la prisión del cuerpo
Authors: Sam Beugre N'Dré
Published: February 2024

En este artículo, se examinará la visión de Foucault del cuerpo y el surgimiento del cuerpo como un elemento indispensable del poder político. Por lo tanto, se discutirá cómo se objetiva la organización en períodos de poder disciplinario y regulatorio. En el contexto de la regulación del poder, trataremos de mostrar qué dinámica básica corresponde el alma, que es la prisión del cuerpo, al poder y al cuerpo. En ambos períodos, vemos que el poder elie el cuerpo como espacio. El cuerpo representa el cuerpo de la sociedad y funciona como tal. En el estudio, se examinará la captura del alma como un elemento que afecta, moldea, cambia y transforma el cuerpo en la comprensión del poder regulador después del poder disciplinario. En última instancia, dado que este esfuerzo da como resultado la producción de nuevas dinámicas de poder, se intentará mostrar en un contexto crítico que el poder no permite ningún cambio, transformación y mejora de individuos y criminales a quienes percibe como cuerpos.
El derecho a la rebelión en diálogo con Tomás de Aquino
Authors: Yate Francisco Javier
Published: February 2024

¿Puede Tomás de Aquino, pensador del siglo XIII, decirnos algo a nuestra realidad política latinoamericana actual? Un texto entre dos contextos es el pretexto para generar una reflexión en torno al derecho a la rebelión, desde la perspectiva de la no-violencia y el derecho a la desobediencia civil. Un camino desde la justicia y el buen gobierno en el Aquinate, seguido del bien común político y las virtudes políticas en el Angélico para desembocar en el derecho a la rebelión, es la ruta que se traza para esta exposición. Una lectura desde la propuesta exegética hermenéutica del Dr. René Padilla, es decir, una comprensión intuitiva, una comprensión gramático-histórica y una comprensión contextualizadora son el cómo y modo del presente trabajo.

Interpreting Bharati Mukherjee in the Context of Northeast India: The Question of Identity
Authors: Chatterjee Aparna , Rai Dr. Shri Krishan
Published: February 2024

This paper is a scenic description of Northeast India. It tries to bring out the elements of violence, rootlessness and identity crisis of the immigrants. Bharati Mukherjee has vibrantly portrayed the tensions, psyche and topsy-turvy condition of her characters going through the intense state which people of North East India face. Northeast India has had a long history of indigenous violence, fanaticism and uprising. The anxiety and existential crisis due to botched political affairs in the Northeast region of India necessities the urgency of preservation of their identity. Above all, excess immigration made the tribal communities face social exclusion, leading to extremist organisations challenging the sovereignty and integrity of the Indian State. The origins of insurgency in Northeast India are implanted in its geographical, historical and a host of socio-economic factors leading to changes in the environment of the area.
Interpretation of "I am from there. In my mind, I live there" by Abdulrazak Gurnah: Post-colonial retreat for the re-establishment of Identity in Gravel Heart (2017) and Afterlives (2020)
Authors: Ahmed Rezwan
Published: February 2024

While delving into the novels "Gravel Heart" (2017) and "Afterlives" (2020) by Abdulrazak Gurnah, this research paper aims to explore potential solutions for addressing the identity crisis experienced by migrant populations worldwide. Its central objective is to capture the subtle emotional nuances and profound human experiences that arise in stark contrast to one's sense of self amidst the ongoing struggle triggered by separation from one land of origin. The research paper intends to analyze the state of perplexity and crisis surrounding self-identity, as well as the resistance to acknowledging the concept of 'parallel existences,' as depicted in Gurnah's selected literary works. This research paper endeavours to offer insights into the enduring battle for identity resulting from migration, regardless of the underlying causes.
