Published: February 2019

OBJECTIVE To evaluate use of flunixin meglumine as a treatment to postpone ovulation in mares, mare fertility after flunixin meglumine treatment during estrous cycles, and effects of flunixin meglumine on function of the corpus luteum after ovulation.

ANIMALS 13 healthy mares.

PROCEDURES A single-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study was conducted. Flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg, IV, q 24 h) or lactated Ringer solution (placebo treatment) was administered for 2 days to mares with a dominant follicle (≥ 35 mm in diameter) and behavioral signs of estrus. Mares then were bred by artificial insemination. Number of days to ovulation from initial detection of a follicle ≥ 30 mm in diameter, uterine edema score, and pregnancy were determined by ultrasonography; the examiner was unaware of the treatment of each mare. Serum progesterone concentrations were evaluated 5 and 12 days after ovulation by use of radioimmunoassay.

RESULTS Data were available for 45 estrus cycles of the 13 mares. Number of days to ovulation from initial detection of a follicle ≥ 30 mm was not significantly affected by administration of flunixin meglumine versus the placebo. Per-cycle pregnancy rate was not significantly different between flunixin meglumine (20/24 [83%] breedings) and the placebo (13/19 [68%] breedings). Flunixin meglumine did not significantly affect behavioral signs of estrus, uterine edema, or serum progesterone concentrations.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Findings did not support the use of flunixin meglumine to postpone ovulation in mares.
T26 PMS – Real time Control of Power Generation, Propulsion and Auxiliaries
Authors: Miners W , Arikkat H
Published: February 2019

The Platform Management System is a key component of a lean-manned ship. Centralised remote operation removes manpower from machinery spaces, while advanced algorithms and increased integration simplify the operators’ daily tasks enabling them to broaden their responsibilities. This inherently results in driving down costs and increasing efficiency. There are a great many benefits to increased automation, however a reliance on these systems means placing a greater focus on the up-front engineering effort required to make a safe and secure system which meets the needs of the user. Sometimes, however, requirements can evolve in early stages of a project, so it also needs to be able to adapt with a flexible design able to cope with inevitable change. Strictly following a traditional V-model lifecycle can ensure compliance against customer requirements, whilst emerging requirements and user experience factors can be overlooked. A collaborative approach involving stakeholders throughout the design lifecycle helps to reduce overall programme risk by reducing change and providing progressive assurance. Through this collaboration throughout the design process and the incorporation of innovations from outside the marine industry, the T26 PMS design has evolved into a flexible, scalable and user centric solution. The innovative solution now in place can meet a plethora of challenges, incorporating safety, security and the performance required of real-time control. Safety-accredited components are used to support emergent safety requirements, while a distributed architecture both increases resilience to battle damage and scales to system load. Human factors, often placed at a lower priority than “hard and fast” requirements, have been a key design driver, with the dichotomy between safety and operability being confronted regularly throughout the design. Following a system-of-systems approach, the development team pick a component of the PMS and take a deep-dive into the subsystem development, demonstrating the incorporation of safety, human factors and security into the design as early as possible. The paper then looks forwards to the future of the project, and the “right side of the V”, showing how a proactive approach to assurance and acceptance can help reduce overall programme risk.

Authors: Uzcategui F , Paz-Lopez A , Vilar J , Mallo A , Brage A , Moro H , Bellas F
Published: February 2019

The objective of this paper is to show the initial research results obtained with an automatic 3D design software tool we have developed for spool fitting in the pipe workshop of the Navantia Ferrol shipyard. This software tool requires, as input, a CAD file containing the scene with the two pipes to connect, and provides, as output, a CAD file with the fitted spool design. The software detects the features of the spool, and a heuristic pipe routing algorithm generates the output by computing several routes and providing one solution that is near to the optimal one. This output design considers the characteristics and capacities of the manufacturing process, as well as the library of materials used in the shipyard, so it is possible to use it for direct manufacturing. The preliminary results presented here were obtained using real data captured with different commercial 3D scanners over a test setup.
New developments in Energy Management – battery lifetime incorporation and power consumption forecasting
Authors: Mitropoulou D , Elling L
Published: February 2019

In the context of a continuously developing electrical world where the systems are becoming more complex, the demands on fuel consumption and greenhouse gases reduction are also becoming stricter. Additionally, more vessels are looking into using various energy sources – batteries, variable speed generators, etc. – to improve their operation. For such systems, an energy management system (EMS) becomes a vital component. The task of an EMS is to optimize the operation based on a specific goal or goals. Mostly it is the optimization of fuel consumption, and thus also the exhaust pollution reduction, that the EMS is striving to achieve. After implementing the EMS on seagoing ferries (predictable load cycle) and a super yacht (non-predictable load cycle), RH Marine has analysed the measured data and has seen a considerable reduction of fuel consumption, of even up to 38%. With the initial goals achieved, the EMS operation can now be expanded to include more tasks. A further development of the EMS is to incorporate lifetime, wear and tear, and maintenance requirements of equipment into it.  Doing so makes it possible to optimise on total cost of ownership (TCO). As a proof of concept the battery lifetime has been incorporated. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the battery lifetime can be extended, or better: a required lifetime can be reached. This can be realised by carefully observing lifetime determining quantities, like state of charge (SOC), magnitude of charging and discharging currents. This is achieved with a minimal impact on the previously obtained reduction in fuel consumption. The same is valid for other energy sources, such as diesel-generator sets (DGs). By incorporating effects of start-stop cycles on wear and tear, the use of these can be optimised regarding TCO as well. The better the load can be predicted, the better the EMS will perform. The self-learning function of the EMS will make use of all available data, both from past and future, like a planned combat mode. The paper describes how the above has been integrated into the EMS. The simulations that were performed to prove the concept as described are presented and further developments in the near future will be announced.
An investigation into contracted loaded tip propellers using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
Authors: Williams N R J
Published: February 2019

This paper investigates the potential performance improvements of adding contracted loaded tips to propellers. A Wageningen B5-75 Series propeller has been simulated and verified against published experimental test data. Contracted tips have then been added to a Wageningen propeller and the modified propeller then simulated. A CFD method and model has been developed. Pressure, velocity and vector plots have all been analysed detailing the mechanism behind the contracted tips. Limitations behind this method have been explored and explained, and recommendations for further studies made. The development of a database of propeller characteristics and performance chart data to allow quick evaluation of designs has also been proposed.
General Purpose Frigate Low-Speed Electric Drive - When does it Make Sense?
Authors: Newman S M , Simmonds O J
Published: February 2019

Light Frigates (LFs), like many warships, will spend a reasonable amount of sea time at low speeds. By definition, the LF has to be capable yet affordable, a difficult balance to strike, but a dichotomy which has to be addressed particularly given the cost pressures our world’s navies are under. Whilst low engine loading at loiter speeds may lead to fuel inefficiency and increased maintenance burden, a purely mechanical Combined Diesel and Diesel (CODAD) propulsion system is attractive from a simplicity perspective. Hybrid propulsion architectures, using electrical machines as motors for low-speed operations, can be employed as a way to address this part of the operating profile. This paper explores to what degree a hybrid solution is appropriate for a LF through the consideration of a number of factors.
Securing interoperable and integrated command and control of unmanned systems – building on the successes of Unmanned Warrior
Authors: Smith P , Biggs W
Published: February 2019

The objective of more complete integration of unmanned vehicles into maritime command and control systems has been set out in previous papers, as has the progress made through the MAPLE (Maritime Autonomous Platform Exploitation) and the demonstrations undertaken at Unmanned Warrior in 2016.  This paper details the significant progress that has subsequently been achieved in the fourth phase of MAPLE, in the run up to a further set of demonstrations in Australia in late 2018.  Using a comprehensive synthetic environment and a process of iterative development, the ACER (Autonomy Control Exploitation and Realisation) demonstrator is being updated to include new functionality that closes gaps in the MAPLE visionary Persistent Architecture (PA).  Specifically this will introduce enhanced Situational Awareness for the operator during Mission Execution, providing details of UxV asset and payload status.  Additional functionality will also provide Payload control.  Summarising these developments and outlining their significance, the paper will give illustrations of potential applications.  Ahead of the Australian Wizard of Aus demonstrations, under the multinational technology co-operation programme (TTCP) and part of Autonomous Warrior, the MAPLE team will further support the STANAG 4586 interface and will undertake derisking work in preparation for the integration of TTCP vehicles provided by Australia, New Zealand and the US. The paper outlines the relevance of this development and how it will be utilised in the Australian demonstration.  Finally, the paper will look forward to the developments planned in both future phase of MAPLE and under QinetiQ’s participation with the multinational EU Ocean 2020 programme.
Capable, Adaptable, Flexible: The Design of a Cost-Effective Naval Platform with Focus on the Increasing Use of Off-Board Assets
Authors: Irvine R
Published: February 2019

In many areas in the innovation of remote and autonomous systems, miniaturisation is leading to a huge increase in the available range of devices and their prevalence in everyday life. In Defence and particularly the naval domain however, the key area of progression is in the opposing direction. Rather than miniaturising, the remote and autonomous systems used in Defence are getting progressively larger in order to provide for increased payload, range and endurance. Navies may often find that they require their platforms to have the ability to cater for both large and small remote and autonomous systems, while also catering for the traditional operations of the navy with use of organic boats and helicopters. Such platforms, with the ability to support an increasingly wide variety of these off-board assets, will be significant for navies in increasing their capability and diversifying into different roles. With provision of sufficient allowances in the design, an adaptable design has the ability to be customised in its configuration. A flexible design has the ability to be reconfigured to fulfil a variety of roles, including those that utilise off-board assets. Allowances are also desirable to enable accommodation of future capability of unknown future high-tech systems so that the navies are able to maintain and increase a strategic technological advantage. This paper examines some of the aspects relevant to operating off-board assets in the design of a cost-effective naval platform that is capable, adaptable and flexible. Particular focus is given to the development of a hullform, seakeeping, general arrangement issues, upper deck arrangements, mission spaces, payload areas, the launch/recovery systems and interfaces.
HMS Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier: The Challenges and Successes of Commissioning, Trialling and Delivering an Integrated Full Electric Power and Propulsion System.
Authors: Eaton P A , Webster D
Published: February 2019

HMS Queen Elizabeth (QNLZ), procured by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the Royal Navy (RN) from the Aircraft Carrier Alliance (ACA), is the first aircraft carrier in the world to utilise an Integrated Full Electrical Power and Propulsion System (IFEP). While building on the design and lessons learned from the UK RN’s Type 45 Destroyer, the first front line warship to utilise IFEP, it also presented a step change in size and complexity, not only of the high voltage (HV) electrical power and propulsion (PandP) system and its automation control system, but also the ship’s wider distribution, control and auxiliary/ancillary systems, which both rely on and support the HV IFEP. Unlike its forerunner Type 45, QNLZ did not benefit from a full-scale shore-based test demonstrator with the cost/benefit decision being taken to carry the system integration and operational risk into the commissioning and trials phase of the project. The challenge presented to the ACA PandP Sub-Alliance (comprising Thales, GE Power Conversion, Rolls-Royce and L3) was therefore to develop a commissioning and trials strategy, programme and documentation set that would allow all elements of the IFEP to be set-to-work in as safe and efficient a manner as possible, with the goal of gaining acceptance from the MoD by delivering the required capability to the RN. This paper will present the methods adopted during this 10-year programme highlighting; 1. The processes followed to develop and then deliver a holistic integrated system commissioning strategy and plan. 2. The pull through and implementation of lessons learned and derisking from previous programmes. 3. The development of the detailed test and trials documentation to allow the PandP equipment and system to be commissioned, trialled and accepted allowing successful delivery into service. 4. The expected and unexpected challenges faced prior to and during the whole-system commissioning and trials phase and what was done to overcome these. 5. The planning and coordination of system integration and sea trials. 6. The lessons learned, successes and best practice that are being taken forward into the programme for HMS Prince of Wales (PWLS).

Published: February 2019

As part of the U.S. Navy’s continued commitment to protecting U.S. interests at home and abroad, the Navy is investing in the development of new technologies that broaden U.S. warship capabilities and maintain U.S. naval superiority. NAVSEA is developing power systems technologies for the Navy to realize an all-electric warship. New nonlinear power system controls approaches are being developed to improve system performance in light of new electrically powered weaponry that behave as pulsed-loads. Advancements include the identification of pulsed-load profiles that identify Energy Storage System (ESS) requirements. A dynamic optimization engine has been developed and serves as the feedforward receding horizon control portion of the Hamiltonian Surface Shaping and Power Flow Control (HSSPFC) feedback controls for ESS networked microgrid system. A Coalition Warfare Program (CWP) test scenario was selected. The CWP is defined with a Reduced Order Model (ROM) that includes; generation, ESS, and mission pulsed-loads. Several numerical simulation studies were conducted. The CWP scenario is bounded by a baseline mission load local ESS contrasted with no ESS full nonlinear metastable boundaries. The main goal is to minimize ESS size and weight while maintaining power system performance.  This paper focuses on the control and optimization of ESS as an integral part of supporting critical mission loads and real-time control algorithm development to improve future energy efficiency for multi-mission activities.

Published: February 2019

AbstractGenerally, the reality of empirical experience is used as a reference in the settlement spatial arrangement. In this study, however, the form of myth and imagination affects spatial arrangement and environmental conservation. Spatial arrangement of settlements in Kampung Kuta, Ciamis, West Java is based on historical imaginative mythical thoughts of the past about the Idea of Keraton Wurung. The thought has positively impacted on the sustainability of environmental preservation in the present. The study was conducted based on qualitative-explorative approach by interviewing some key informants of local population. In terms of verification, the findings are being compared among the concept of spatial layout of current Kampung Adat Kuta and the general settlement theory as well as the concept of kampung in Priangan of the myth-imaginative-based spatial concept. The findings of the study suggest that conservation measures are based on the respect of the sacred imaginative of the palace and the ancepan that are considered as the important components of the palace and need to be maintained its sustainability. The control of human behavior in conservation efforts refers to: prohibitions and obligations to maintain harmony by considering the arrangements of ancient, balance, and management of natural resources that ensure the sustainability of life. Keywords:  imaginary-myth, Kampung Adat Kuta, environmental preservation.
PHYSICAL AND FUNCTIONAL RESIDENTIAL CHANGES AT TEBET UTARA DALAM STREET CORRIDOR, SOUTH JAKARTA
Authors: Heriyanto Budi
Published: February 2019

AbstractThe 1997-2000 economic crises have provoked the rise of a number of speculators alongside the corridor of Jalan Tebet Utara. The function of residential buildings on the left and right sides of the road was developed not only as a residential place but also as a commercial area with the target market of young people. These conditions had an effect on the phenomenon of architectural transformation on the absence of permission for a commercial building that was not in line with the General Spatial Plan of the Government of DKI Jakarta. As a result, the building faces that were originally identical appearedto be diverse, in which one side of the preferred look of the buildingcouldattract visitors. This article discusses the research emphasizing on the problem of building typology and architectural transformation by administering field observation, mapping of building typology and categorizing the transformation of architectural phenomenon. The findings of the study indicate that changes to the commercial-occupancy function are influenced by the increased accessibility which impacted changes on facade and building elements, on the use of building and road lines, andon the sky line environments. Keywords: Residential Changes, Street Corridor, Tebet

Punição, regeneração e autonomia: aspectos do trabalho prisional vistos a partir da fuga do “preto Thomaz” (Recife, 1868).
Authors: Britto Aurélio
Published: February 2019

Este artigo versa sobre o trabalho prisional no contexto da reforma prisional do império brasileiro, contexto em que ele é reputado pelas elites administrativas como um mecanismo de punição e, concomitantemente, instrumento de regeneração moral do criminoso. Entretanto, para além das prescrições regulamentares e dos discursos da elite administrativa – ou seja, ao nível de sua implementação cotidiana - as práticas laborais atuaram como suporte de autonomia dos presos, muitas vezes esboroando outras diretrizes que compunham a reforma prisional. Este debate será conduzido a partir da experiência da Casa de Detenção do Recife, na gestão do administrador Rufino Augusto de Almeida (1861-1875) e se deterá em um estudo de caso.

How NOT to create a digital media scholarship platform: the history of the Sophie 2.0 project
Authors: Kirby Jasmine Simone
Published: February 2019

Since the mid-2000s digital platforms have emerged to take advantage of the capabilities of new technology to incorporate media content, tell nonlinear stories, and reinvent the book for the 21st century. Sophie 1.0, from the University of Southern California, the Institute for the Future of the Book (IFB), and computer scientists based in Europe, was an attempt to create a multimedia editing, reading, and publishing platform. Sophie 2.0 was an international collaboration between the University of Southern California and Astea Solutions in Bulgaria to rewrite Sophie 1.0 in the Java programming language. This research will explore how the Sophie 2.0 project was unable to become a viable and wellmaintained open source product despite receiving over a million dollars in funding from the Mellon Foundation. Problems included the technological difficulty of creating an easy-to-use but completely customizable open source multimedia e-publishing platform, which was also compounded by competing visions over what this project was to be. Stakeholders did not demand a deliverable that actually worked. Funders seemed willing to overlook weaknesses in early releases for a more encompassing, if impractical, project. The computer scientists wanted to add the most features possible while, the IFB and USC Institute for Multimedia Literacy focused on creating a product based on the values of a future they hoped to create. Understanding what went wrong with Sophie 2.0 can help us understand how to create better digital media scholarship tools and to start much needed discussions about failure in the digital humanities.
RHLB: Improved Routing Load Balancing Algorithm Based on Hybrid Policy
Authors: Jawad Muna Mohammed , Mahdi Noor Mohammed
Published: February 2019

A network is defined as a set of nodes that are associated with a way to handle and transfer data and messages from source to destination. The congestion in the network occurs when a lot of traffic occurs, leads to delay, packet loss, bandwidth degradation, and high network overhead. Load balancing algorithms have been designed to reduce congestion in the network. Load Balancing is the redistribution of workload between two or more nodes to be executed at the same time. Two policies of load balancing algorithms: static and dynamic load balancing. This paper proposes a load balancing algorithm based on the hybrid (static and dynamic) policy using Network Simulator (version 2). The hybrid policy is used to improve network performance by redistributing the load between overloaded nodes to other nodes that are under loaded when congestion occurs. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm used performance of the network with regard to throughput, packet delivery ratio, packet loss and the end-to-end delay.

The discovery of potential antiseizure drugs (ASDs) requires the use of experimental models that can also provide a unique chance for identifying new effective molecules able to prevent and/or cure epilepsy. Most of the preclinical knowledge on epileptogenesis derives from studies performed on post-insult models that are characterized by a recognizable first insult, a silent period lasting until the onset of the first seizure and a chronic period characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRSs). At odds, genetic models, in which the first insult remains to be identified, have been poorly investigated. Among the genetic models, the WAG/Rij rat was validated as a suitable experimental model of absence epileptogenesis with neuropsychiatric symptomatology, in which, according to our previous hypothesis on SRSs onset, genes could be considered the first ‘insult’ underlying all plastic modifications supporting the occurrences of absence seizures in this strain. In fact, in several genetic models, the initial insult could be described as the mutation leading to epilepsy that, to date, remains to be defined in this strain. The silent period ends at the occurrence of the first SRS, which is approximately at 2-3 months of age in these rats and after that time the chronic phase initiates, in which, absence seizures increase over time underlying likely further epileptogenic processes. In this review, we describe both the features of this experimental model and the effects of several pharmacological treatments against epileptogenesis and its related comorbidities including depressive-like symptoms and cognitive decline.

Children in Foster Care; Looked After Children and Education: A Review of the Literature in the UK
Authors: Alix Sarah
Published: February 2019

This study critically examines the literature
regarding the education of children in foster care; Looked After Children (LAC)
in the United Kingdom (UK). It examines the progress made within UK policy and
practice in just over a decade. Government legislation and policy have defined
how progress for LAC should be made in the UK, and there has been a shift away
from social care perspectives to more holistic educational perspectives as
responsibility has shifted from the Department of Health to include the
Department of Education. This has had a direct impact on the work of UK based Local
Authorities and schools. It is important to gain an understanding of these
changes, and how perceptions of LAC’s education is now situated. This paper explores
how continued progress can be made in closing the attainment gap between LAC
and their peers by focussing on three key areas: academic achievement, emerging
professional roles, and the training of key professionals that work with LAC.

Climate change has mixed impacts on agriculture that differ among the areas, periods, and crops. The changing factors of climate, especially rainfall and temperature, have been causing very strong negative impacts on Malaysian agriculture. Projection shows that the gap between current and potential yields will increase more in future that would lead to an unsustainable nature of agriculture in Malaysia. Based on the time series linear and log linear OLS regression model, this paper discusses the impacts of rainfall and temperature on the paddy sector by using the micro data of IADA at North West Selangor, Malaysia from 1992 to 2007. This study found that the output of micro data varies with the aggregate data, and concludes that both temperature and rainfall have significant negative impacts on paddy production. It also provides policy recommendations and action plans to adapt and to cope properly with the changing nature of climate factors

Malaysia’s Proactive Economic Zone Regime as a Model to Emulate for Success of Bangladesh Economic Zone Scheme
Authors: Alam Md. Mahmudul , Molla Rafiqul Islam , Murad Wahid
Published: February 2019

Economic zone or export processing zone in a country is a purpose-built industrial park with infrastructure designed to suit the needs of foreign as well as local investors. In order to tempt foreign investors into the zones the host developing countries offer a variety of incentives. By encouraging and motivating the multinational companies to settle their Greenfield investments in developing countries, the economic zone scheme acts as a tool for empowering the local economy to gain multiple capabilities and go global increasingly to facilitate income convergence between the industrialized and the developing countries through equitable sharing of the gains from trade. Nonetheless, it is not a magic wand. Its experiences in Malaysia and Bangladesh clearly show that it can create wonder only when it is appropriately designed and managed. It is suggested that Bangladesh borrows a leaf from the rich experiences of Malaysia‟s economic zone model, to restructure and revitalize her economic zone scheme for greater success

Heavy metals are widely used in various industries and became a great concern all over the world due to environmental contamination. This study provides an assessment of seasonal variability and risks to human health associated with the exposure to heavy metals concentrated in Langat river water of Malaysia. The Department of Environment (DOE) Malaysia kindly provided the heavy metal concentration data in water for this study. Several multivariate estimation such as an independent t test, box-and-whisker plot and Principal component analysis were carried out to evaluate the seasonal variation of metals concentration in water. The average value of ten analyzed metals was 250.81 µg/l and followed in order of abundance by August > Jun > February > October > April > December > March > May > September > January > July > November. The calculated HPI was 123.42, which is far above the critical index value of 100, indicating pollution with respect to heavy metals. Estimates of health risks associated with river water were summarized according to non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health effects. No potential threat was detected for noncarcinogenic risk as the HI values calculated were <1. Potential carcinogenic risks associated with the ingestion and dermal absorption of heavy metals in water were evaluated probabilistically by performing 10,000 trails for Monte Carlo simulation where potential carcinogenic risk exists in case of Cd and As.It is necessary to take proper steps to reduce the pollution of heavy metals in Langat River.
