Application of Hierarchical Analysis of the Efficacy of Digital Resource Integration in Mathematics Teaching and Learning
Authors: Li Ling
Published: October 2024

At present, the construction and application of digital teaching resources is no longer an educational development trend but a normalized teaching tool. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the principle of digital integration of resources for teaching mathematics and develop the FAHP-Entropy model. Determine the weights of the first-level indicators in the hierarchical model constructed in this paper, then determine the weights of the second-level indicators by the entropy method, and use the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the established indicators and then get the results. The study found that the total score of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of algebraic knowledge points is 83.825 points, and the secondary indicators are all above 75 points, with the highest being that D1 can make students’ analytical problem-solving ability improve significantly, up to 91.21 points. Most of the secondary indicators are in the first and second quadrants, of which A1 and B1 continue to maintain the zone in the first quadrant with high importance and good evaluation results. The fourth quadrant focuses on the improvement area with two secondary indicators, A4 and C1, indicating that A4 media presentation is diversified and C1 media is well-produced and attractive, both of which need to be further improved. The scores of the four first-level indicators in the comprehensive evaluation results of the geometry category are 81.111, 86.061, 82.525, and 82.957, respectively, and the highest among the second-level indicators is D3, with a score of 87.76. A1, A4, and C1 are in the fourth quadrant of the key improvement area, which is an indicator that does not match the importance of the results of the evaluation and is in urgent need of improvement. The Probability Statistics category had a slightly lower overall evaluation score than the Algebra and Geometry category of knowledge points. The total score of the comprehensive evaluation results was 81.898. The four primary indicators have scores of 80.438, 84.01, 79.901, and 83.281. The evaluation results of the A4 and C1 indicators are not aligned with their importance, and the other indicators perform better or have lower importance. This study provides new ideas for the analysis of the effects of digital resource integration.

Authors: He Tong
Published: October 2024

With the changes in the market situation for English majors, teaching English translation in colleges and universities is also facing many challenges. This paper proposes an optimization strategy for English translation teaching methods by using machine learning technology to automatically identify English translation errors and extract text summaries. Pearson coefficient and multi-feature fusion technology are used to prejudge the correctness of English translation results, and according to the directed graph of wrong translation results, the automatic identification algorithm of English translation errors is constructed to automatically identify translation errors. The unsupervised machine learning TextRank algorithm is introduced and applied in text summary extraction, and combined with a multi-feature fusion computer system based on similarity relationships, it is improved to enhance the efficiency and quality of text extraction. Inner Mongolia Normal University set up an experimental class and a control class and applied this paper’s technology to practice English translation teaching. After the practice, the total English translation score of students in the experimental class was 85.74, which was 4.41 higher than that of the control group, showing a significant difference (P<0.05). Prior to the practice, the interest and attitude toward English translation rose from 3.42 and 2.43 to 4.32 and 4.75, while the control group’s mean values decelerated slightly. The two dimensions of teaching satisfaction, learning atmosphere, and English translation ability development were also higher than the control class by 0.71 and 0.91, indicating a statistical difference (P<0.05).

Authors: Zhang Xiaowei
Published: October 2024

High-precision control technology, as a general technology in the field of manufacturing and assembly, is widely used in high-end manufacturing equipment such as chip packaging equipment and high-speed CNC machining centers. In this thesis, a permanent magnet synchronous motor is used as the actuator motor of a high-precision servo control system, and vector control strategy and sliding mode observer are adopted to study and realize the servo control of permanent magnet synchronous motor based on sliding mode observer. The current, speed, and position simulation experiments of the high-precision servo control method are also carried out to compare the positioning accuracy before and after the use of the servo control method and to study the performance of the method in precision positioning. The experiments prove the correctness and effectiveness of the SMO-based PMSM high-precision servo control method and the current response speed of the servo control in this paper is fast, and the speed and position estimation errors are maintained within 1.6 r/min and 0.15 rad in steady state condition, and within 20 r/min and 20 rad in the sudden-change condition, which is able to contribute to 11.91% and 19.30% of the machine’s X-axis and Y-axis positioning accuracy improvement. The SMO-based PMSM high-precision servo control method has high steady-state accuracy and immunity to disturbances and can be used for the precision positioning of machine systems.

Authors: Sun Wenbo
Published: October 2024

In recent years, with the rapid development of augmented reality technology, its technical application fields have become more and more extensive. This paper studies the application of augmented reality technology in engineering projects, mainly including target detection technology, feature matching technology, and 3D modeling technology. The article first improves YOLOv5 based on the original YOLOv5 algorithm by integrating the attention mechanism. The SURF algorithm is improved, the FAST-SURF algorithm is adopted for feature extraction and matching of images, and an engineering project simulation system is designed using augmented reality technology. Then, the improved YOLOv5 algorithm was tested for performance, and the experiment concluded that the improved YOLOv5 algorithm has high precision and recall. For experimental analysis of image stabilization based on feature matching, the ORB model and FAST-SURF were used. The experimental results are in line with expectations, and FAST-SURF has a good virtual fusion effect for images. This paper takes the electromechanical engineering project as a case for simulation experiments and uses Monte Carlo method simulation to verify the reliability of the method, for which traditional technology and augmented reality technology were used to predict the project duration of the project engineering. The results show that the project duration prediction cycle based on augmented reality technology is shorter, the project plan is more feasible, and the probability of achieving the project duration with augmented reality technology is stable at about 40.

Published: October 2024

The technological era has greatly promoted the informatization of the cigarette production process, making it a hotspot for research on how to use production data for quality management and correlation analysis. The article employs Pearson’s correlation coefficient and the Apriori algorithm to identify the frequent item set and correlation structure associated with the quality management of cigarette production, as well as to identify the key factors that influence this quality management. Then, we combined historical data and prioritized data points with Lajda’s law to split the distribution of events, enabling accurate construction of the item event library and single-point data factor search analysis. Finally, based on the results of correlation and causal analysis, the FDGM model for time series analysis is constructed using a priori knowledge combined with graph neural networks to realize causal learning and real-time prediction and evaluation of cigarette production quality management. The correlation coefficient between the total downtime and the production efficiency after removing the cumulative effect is 0.946, and the enhancement degree of the strong correlation rules is all greater than 1.55. The prediction F1 value of the FDGM model can be up to 0.910, and the importance of cigarette temperature in production quality is the largest at 90.62%. The evaluation score for silk production quality improved from 91.58 to 97.74, with an overall improvement of 6.73%. The combination of graph neural networks and correlation analysis algorithms can effectively detect abnormalities in cigarette production quality management and improve the quality of cigarette production.

Published: October 2024

The rapid development of information technology and multimedia education in today’s world has led to important changes in the delivery of ideological values in the process of art education. In this paper, according to the form of multimedia presentation of knowledge, a multimedia learning cognitive model is used to study the process of multimedia transmission of Civic and political values. A diverse and efficient recommendation algorithm is proposed, and a recommendation system for Civics and Politics courses is constructed based on the algorithm. The method mines the set of high-efficiency items related to the relationship between courses and categories through a conceptual hierarchical tree and introduces a diversity upper bound function to optimize the mining process. Thus, rules are efficiently generated in the efficiently used generalized itemsets. A collaborative filtering algorithm between users and course types is used to find the neighbors that best match the target users. The results show that the four indicators of this paper’s recommender system are better than other recommender methods. The F-measure of this paper’s system is 0.45, which indicates that this paper’s method can produce the best recommendation effect of the Civics courses. The students in the process of art education can get the Civics course recommendation that is more suitable for them, which improves the efficiency of the Civics value transmission among students.
Red blood cell extended antigen typing in Omani patients with sickle cell disease to enhance daily transfusion practice
Authors: Breiki Amal Salim Al , Kindi Salam Al , Castilho Lilian
Published: October 2024

Many Omani patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) undergo red blood cell (RBC) transfusions that are only matched for ABO and D, making RBC alloimmunization a significant concern in this population. Currently, the integration of molecular assays and hemagglutination testing helps to determine RBC phenotypes and genotypes, facilitating the provision of compatible blood and minimizing additional alloimmunization risks in patients with SCD. Based on this finding, our objective was to use molecular methods to predict the extended antigen profile of Omani patients with SCD across various blood group systems including Rh, Kell, Duffy, Kidd, Colton, Lutheran, Dombrock, Diego, Cartwright, and Scianna. This approach aims to implement RBC matching strategies and enhance daily transfusion practices for these patients. Molecular methods encompassed multiplex polymerase chain reaction for RHD, BeadChip arrays for variants of RHD and RHCE, and ID CORE XT for the primary allelic variants of RBCs. This study enrolled 38 patients with SCD, comprising 34 patients with homozygous HbSS, 1 patient with HbSC, and 3 patients with HbS Oman. The predominant ABO blood group was group O, observed in 44.7 percent of patients, followed by group A in 21.1 percent and group B in 13.2 percent. The most prevalent Rh phenotype predicted from the genotype was D+C+E–c+e+, identified in 34.2 percent of patients. All patient samples were K–, exhibiting the k+ Kp(b+) Js(b+) phenotype, with 81.6 percent demonstrating Fy(a–b–) due to the homozygous FY*02N.01 genotype and 28.9 percent displaying Jk(a+b–). RH variant alleles were detected in five patients (13.2 %), with only one type of RHD variant (RHD*DIIIa) and one type of RHCE variant (RHCE*ceVS.02.01) identified. Alloantibodies were present in 26 patients (68.4%). This study presents the initial comprehensive report of extended RBC antigen profiling in Omani patients with SCD, revealing disparities in the prevalence of RBC phenotypes compared with SCD patients from other regions and countries. Furthermore, our findings underscore a high rate of alloimmunization in these patients, emphasizing the need to implement antigen-matching programs to improve daily transfusion practices.

Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) due to an antibody in the Kell blood group system can be associated with severe fetal anemia. This case report details the challenges of managing a Kellnull mother with anti-Ku that affected her fetus/newborn. A gravida 4 para 3 woman at term underwent an emergency lower caesarean section because of fetal distress. The baby was intubated because of low oxygen saturation. An urgent request for a hematology workup showed severe anemia and erythroblastosis fetalis. Unfortunately, no compatible blood was found, and the baby died. The case was referred to the National Blood Centre, and anti-Ku was confirmed in a sample sent from the mother. When she presented with her fifth pregnancy, meticulous planning was used to manage this pregnancy. Her family screening revealed one brother with a matching phenotype. Three blood donations were planned for the brother—for freezing, for intrauterine transfusion, and for standby during delivery. Serial anti-Ku titrations of maternal samples were performed, and the fetus was monitored for anemia through middle cerebral artery Doppler scans. Although the anti-Ku titers reached as high as 1024, fetal anemia was never diagnosed. The neonate was delivered safely but was diagnosed with severe pathologic jaundice and anemia secondary to HDFN and congenital pneumonia. The baby was transfused with K0 packed red blood cells and later discharged to home.

Authors: Morgado Elsa Gabriel , Licursi Maria Beatriz , Cardoso Mário Aníbal , Leonido Levi
Published: October 2024

Objective: To present a perspective whose reflection and discussion are assessed from a range of authors and perspectives that discursively gather various aspects of the relationship between music and language, considering the triad that sustains it: sounds, rhythms, and rhymes.
 
Theoretical Framework: We have brought together a series of authors who substantiate the relationship between language and music and their conceptual and technical aspects, in order to maintain a clear and defined approach capable of yielding measurable results for future research.
 
Method: The methodology adopted for this research includes the narrative matrix of thematic literature review, which, in this case, fits an interdisciplinary and interdependent theme, connecting authors, methods, and specific approaches that intersect in real-world applications and practical implementation.
 
Results and Discussion: We can infer that the relationship between the associated themes and sub-themes is a clear example of the need to reflect on broader and transdisciplinary issues, assuming the positions and opinions of those who engage with, reflect upon, and draw conclusions from the ongoing research.
 
Research Implications: On a theoretical level, we observe that the interdisciplinary, dialogic relationship between the arts and literature fields is evident and capable of regular, ongoing deepening. As for objective and future implications, we believe this theme can be further developed and explored, focusing on other aspects and sub-themes that could also be included in the general theme (music and language). In this case, the investigation focused solely on the reflection between the central theme and the derived concepts from the conceptual realm of the relationship between literary and artistic studies.
 
Originality/Value: This research is original as it triangulates information, concepts, and approaches from authors who had not yet been related in these models and formats, nor with this associated methodological approach. The limitations concerning inclusion and exclusion criteria, on the other hand, are an added value, as they allow for the gathering and reflection on exemplary authors and approaches within a universe and sample chosen based on the theme and the narrative structure of the literature review.
Peter Stettler - Intérieur Extérieur

Published: October 2024

Von seinem Künstlervater Gustav Stettler schon als Kind gefördert und von diesem in seinen Jugendjahren geprägt, findet Peter Stettler bereits früh zu seinen wichtigsten künstlerischen Themen, denen er zeitlebens treu bleibt – Personendarstellungen, Stillleben und allen voran Aussenräume und Interieurs. In der eigenwilligen Verschränkung der beiden letzteren Gattungen entwickelt Peter Stettler völlig eigenständige Bildkonzepte, mit denen er gegenüber der Kunst seiner Zeit eine unverwechselbare Position markiert. Ohne den Sprung in die Gegenstandslosigkeit zu suchen oder einen forciert eigenwilligen Stil zu bemühen, verabschiedet sich der Künstler unaufgeregt von einer konventionellen
Raum- und Bildauffassung und erschliesst sich ein eigenes Bilduniversum, dessen Grenzen er gewandt und konsequent auslotet.
Stettlers Extérieurs sind vom Menschen gestaltete, aber bereits wieder entvölkerte unspektakuläre
Siedlungs- und Industrieräume, in denen die Personen als kleine, gesichtslose Staffagefiguren vorbeihuschen. Auch in Innenräumen ist der Mensch nicht zu Hause, sondern bleibt ein distanzierter Zuschauer der ihn umgebenden Szenerie. Konsequenterweise wird auch das Intérieur nie zum Wohlfühlort, sondern wirkt als fremder Aussenraum der darin verlorenen Figuren.

Background. Vitamin B12, an indispensable micronutrient, is pivotal in numerous physiological processes, with particular significance during pregnancy and fetal development. The increasing adoption of vegetarian diets and the economic challenges associated with accessing animal-based food sources contribute to the prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency. This study aims to examine the levels of vitamin B12 and homocysteine in pregnant women upon admission for delivery and to analyze corresponding cord blood samples from their newborn infants in a substantial sample within the Istanbul metropolitan area.
Materials and Methods. This cross-sectional multicenter study included women aged ≥16 years admitted for delivery and their newborns ≥34 weeks. The demographic data and the results of complete blood counts within the previous 24 hours before birth were recorded. Vitamin B12 and homocysteine levels were measured in maternal and cord blood samples. The study parameters were compared between the groups based on the mothers’ and babies’ homocysteine and vitamin B12 levels.
Results. The study included 832 pregnant women and 832 neonates. Anemia affected 36% of pregnant women, with a higher frequency in mothers with vitamin B12 deficiency. Seventy-eight mothers and 48.9% of neonates showed Vitamin B12 levels below 200 pg/mL, while elevated homocysteine levels were observed in 30% of mothers and 26% of neonates. Maternal vitamin B12 deficiency was significantly correlated with cord blood B12 deficiency and elevated homocysteine. The median cord blood vitamin B12 level was inversely correlated with the number of previous pregnancies.
Conclusion. Vitamin B12 deficiency is extremely common in pregnant women before delivery, significantly correlating to cord blood homocysteine and vitamin B12 levels. However, homocysteine alone is not a reliable marker for maternal vitamin B12 status. Implementing strategies to detect vitamin B12 deficiency and supplying adequate vitamin B12 supplementation during pregnancy holds the potential to enhance maternal and neonatal health in Türkiye.

Background. Cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcosis, primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals, including solid-organ transplant recipients, and, less frequently, immunocompetent people.
Case. A 15-year-old male with congenital hepatic fibrosis, portal hypertension, and cirrhosis underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. He received perioperative antimicrobial and antifungal prophylaxis and continued immunosuppressive treatment. Thirty months post-transplant, he presented with fever, hypertension, and sacroiliac joint pain. Peripheral blood cultures showed C. neoformans, confirmed by pan-fungal polymerase chain reaction assay and latex agglutination tests. Despite initial treatment with intravenous (IV) fluconazole, his condition worsened, necessitating intubation for acute hypoxic respiratory failure. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans indicated disseminated cryptococcosis with lymphadenitis, possible meningitis, and pneumonia. Treatment was escalated to IV liposomal amphotericin B and 5-flucytosine, while reducing immunosuppressive treatment. Despite negative fungal cultures on the tenth day, the patient deteriorated, developing pancreatitis, pneumonia, and massive gastrointestinal bleeding, leading to death on the 35th day of hospitalization.
Conclusion. This case shows the severity and complexity of managing disseminated cryptococcosis in pediatric liver transplant recipients. Aggressive therapy and early identification are essential for improving outcomes in these high-risk patients.
The Tanganyika Groundnut Scheme: A Site of Change and Conservatism
Authors: O'Connell Jane A.
Published: October 2024

By focusing on the notorious Tanganyika Groundnut Scheme, this paper examines the evolution of British development policy in an East African colony throughout the pre-and post-war eras. I begin by detailing the historiography of writing on the Tanganyika Groundnut Scheme, connecting the shift in tone and focus of historians to broader trends in academia and perceptions of Africa, and then continue to provide an overview of pre-war colonial policy in Tanganyika. After laying out this framework, I highlight the profound impact of World War Two on British thought and the ways in which this translated to development policy, accounting for the general support for the Groundnut Scheme. Finally, this paper details the progressive breaks from Britain's previous approach to colonialism in Tanganyika while also addressing the persistence of conservative, regressive mindsets. Ultimately, this paper serves to highlight the contradictory nature of British colonial policy during the mid-twentieth century.
Property Laws, White Settler Power and the Kingdom of Hawai’i
Authors: Rakowszczyk Martin
Published: October 2024

Hawai’ian property laws in the 19th century, while intended to provide for the transition of the islands to a European mode of commerce and allow for greater prosperity, weakened the power of Native Hawai`ian subjects and ultimately contributed to European planter power and the eventual annexation of the islands. Prior to European contact, land in the Kingdom of Hawai`i was communally owned and not treated as a tradable commodity. However, forced to settle foreign debts, the Hawai’ian government instituted land reform intended to raise money and maintain Hawai’ian sovereignty. Given the constant threat of annexation by Western powers and the pressures of the settler lobby, this Hawai’ian land legislation was critically flawed, transferring vast amounts of land to white settlers, creating a plantation economy and ultimately leading to the destruction of Hawai’i as it was. Corruption, bad economic decisions and constant settler pushback created imperfect legal processes, which led to haole accumulation of land and subsequent economic dominance and the simultaneous environmental and economic destruction of native, particularly maka’āinana, lands. This paper examines how these two phenomena led to native Hawai’ian impoverishment, a growing settler influence on the government and the eventual overthrow of the native-led government.
The Limits of Solidarity: leftist Jewish Israeli activism for Palestine in the 1960’s and 2010’s
Authors: Hubbart Ryann M.
Published: October 2024

What does it mean for Jewish Israelis to engage in Palestinian solidarity? How do they navigate their positions of privilege in their activism? To explore these questions, I begin with a historical trajectory of the rise and fall of leftist Jewish Israeli activist organizations in response to global and local developments. I focus on two periods and their organizations: The Israeli Socialist Organization in the 1960’s and 1970’s and Ta’ayush and Physicians for Human Rights Israel in the 2010’s. In both cases the individuals in question are a very small minority of Israelis. From there I analyze these organizations and activists’ struggles to escape dominant Zionist and Israeli state narratives and the continual shortcomings in their attempts to center Palestinians in their activism. Despite radical positions, activists from both eras remain trapped in existing systems of power.
Heroes, Victims, and Future Citizens: Representations of French Children During World War I
Authors: Outtrim Megan R.
Published: October 2024

The effects of total war society in France during WWI dramatically altered the daily lives of both adults and children, witnessing increasing levels of patriotic rhetoric, wartime propaganda, and anti-German sentiment. Children were often made the focal point of this propaganda, as they represented the future of the nation. As such, three specific representations of children emerge from WWI propaganda in France: the heroic child, the victimized child, and the malleable future citizen. Some of these representations were depicted in propaganda meant for children specifically, while others were depicted in propaganda meant to mobilize adults in the name of children. Regardless of whether the propaganda was made for children or simply manipulated their images to mobilize adults, these representations established the only acceptable roles that children could fit into in society during the war. By analyzing collections of photographs, posters, newspaper articles, children's literature, memoirs, and school assignments from 1914 to 1919, it is possible to examine the development of these representations of children in French media during WWI and, to an extent, judge whether or not children understood themselves as fitting into these roles.
Analysis of Secondary Particles Produced by 50-500 MeV Muon and Water Interaction using PHITS Monte Carlo Package
Authors: Yani Sitti , Hidayatuloh Dadan , Sumaryada Tony
Published: October 2024

Secondary particles will always be generated in particle-to-matter interactions. The interaction of muons with matter produces various secondary particles. In this study, secondary particles produced by the interaction between muons with energies of 5, 50, 100, 200 and 500 MeV with water were analyzed using the PHITS Monte Carlo package. The muon source is placed on the surface of water that has a thickness of 1 km. The muography technique was applied by placed a detector at a depth of 1 km from the source. This detector records the secondary particles produced by the interaction. The results obtained show that this interaction produces secondary particles in the form of photons and neutrons in the detector. The number and energy of these photons and neutrons are strongly influenced by the initial energy of the muon. Muons with the lowest energy of 5 MeV produce more secondary particles than any other energy by a factor of 10. Low-energy muons travel slowly, allowing more interactions to occur and increasing the number of secondary particles in the detector. The energies of neutrons and photons in the detector are at most 3.76 MeV and 5.3 MeV, respectively.
Simulation of the Effect of Dy3+ Dopant on the Mass Energy Absorption Coefficient and Relative Energy Response of TLD Made from Lithium Magnesium Borate Using MCNP
Authors: Handayani Nita , Novan Prawira Dyon , Arianto Fajar
Published: October 2024

Thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) is widely used as a personal and medical dosimeter. Several TLD materials show the characteristics of mass energy absorption coefficient and energy response relative to ICRU (International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements) issue material as an equivalent material for human body soft tissue. This research aims to analyze the effect of Dy3+ dopant on the mass-energy absorption coefficient and relative energy response of Lithium Magnesium Borate (LMB) materials. The simulation was carried out using Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) software. Calculations based on simulation and theoretical results will be compared statistically using paired t-tests. The study showed that adding a Dy3+ dopant to TLD material made of Lithium Magnesium Borate (LMB) only affected the mass-energy absorption coefficient and relative energy response for low radiation energy. Adding Dy3+ dopant increased the mass energy absorption coefficient and relative energy response in a reasonably small value. Based on these results, LMBDy3+ produces a better mass-energy absorption coefficient value for TLD materials. The results of the statistical tests show a significant difference in the mass energy absorption coefficient value. At the same time, there is no significant difference between the simulation results and theoretical calculations for the relative energy response.

Bengkulu City is situated within a subduction zone where the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates converge, rendering the area highly susceptible to seismic activity. This study employs the microseismic method to assess seismic vulnerability and the subsurface rock structure at the Dendam Tak Sudah Lake Flyover Construction Site in Bengkulu City, which encompasses a swampy region. The microseismic method used was an inversion of the horizontal to vertical (H/V) spectral ratio (HV-Inv) for determining the dominant frequency (f0), amplification factor (A0), seismic sensitivity index (Kg), and shear wave velocity (Vs). The findings reveal that f0 in the study area range from 2.16 to 7.53 Hz, A0 vary from 0.40 to 3.79, and Kg values span from 0.03 to 6.04. The sedimentary layers exhibit an average thickness of 5-10 meters, with some locations showing significantly thicker sedimentary deposits. Notably, the highest seismic susceptibility is recorded at point T8. The Vs values range from 185.19 to 539.49 m/s, which are inversely proportional to the Kg values and indicate soil classifications varying from soft to medium. The overall seismic risk in the study area is moderate. These results offer key insights into geophysical and geological conditions in Bengkulu City, crucial for earthquake mitigation.
Nanosatellite Design Considerations for a Mission to Explore the Propellant Sloshing Problem
Authors: Fogel Michael , Sushil Mishra Snigdha , Burlion Laurent
Published: October 2024

Sloshing Platform for In-Orbit Controller Experimentation is an ambitious, student run mission to design and fly a cubesat to study fluid sloshing in spacecraft. The project will examine zero-g propellant sloshing from an experimental standpoint. Despite the small size and limited payload capacity, we intend to use the cubesat platform to mimic larger spacecraft and implement novel detection and computer vision methods in our analysis. Many modern spacecraft rely on propellant-filled tanks to perform attitude control and station-keeping maneuvers. When a large percentage of the spacecraft’s mass is comprised of liquid propellant, sloshing becomes a critical aspect of spacecraft attitude control and stability. The mission will study the tank/fluid dynamics using new methods to gain an enhanced understanding of low-gravity fluid disturbance effects and improve simulations using equivalent mechanical models (EMMs). Active control of the fluid leading to the reduction of propellant slosh settling times will improve the maneuverability and performance of spacecraft. This paper will focus on satellite payload research and design requirements used to inform other aspects of the SPICEsat design. In this paper, mission objectives will be discussed, numerical simulations for the proposed control algorithms are demonstrated, and a satellite experiment design is presented. Finally, we examine computational fluid dynamics models to validate the satellite design and propellant sensing components of the proposed spacecraft.

A viscous flux formulation at interior faces and at Dirichlet boundary conditions in the framework of unstructured vertex-centered [Formula: see text]-exact finite-volume schemes is presented. It is based on a geometric decomposition of the viscous flux into orthogonal and nonorthogonal parts. Special emphasis is put on the truncation errors and the spectral properties of the scheme, and a connection is established to the well-known [Formula: see text]-damping scheme. The latter is also used to introduce discretization coefficients into the method that allow a fourth and a sixth order of accuracy in space on Cartesian grids. The effect of the scheme is presented in terms of canonical diffusion problems, as well as test cases for laminar wall-bounded flows. It is shown that the method preserves a second-order accuracy for the viscous operator, even on highly distorted unstructured grids and in the presence of boundaries and that it strongly enhances the solution accuracy with respect to a conventional scheme for viscous fluxes.

Published: October 2024

The compact eddy structure and the correlation structure of three distinct turbulent boundary layers were investigated, with a view to understanding the turbulent inflow seen by a stern-mounted propulsion tail rotor. The first is of a zero-pressure-gradient, equilibrium, flat plate boundary layer, and the second and third are on the lee and port sides of a body of revolution (BOR) inclined at a 5° angle of attack. The BOR is an axially symmetric body with an ellipsoidal nose, straight midbody, and 1.17-diam-long stern ramp with a stern-mounted tail rotor. Measurements on the BOR were taken at a body-diameter-based Reynolds number of 600,000 and a rotor advance ratio of [Formula: see text]. Particle image velocimetry was taken at two principal locations at the stern of the BOR. Distortion of the correlation function was evident in the compact eddy structure of the BOR boundary layer on both the lee and port sides. On the port side, the turbulent modes were dominated by the embedded shear layer, whereas the lee side showed more significant pressure gradient effects in the eddy structure.
Hegel como filósofo da contingência: A leitura lacaniana de Hegel feita por Žižek
Authors: Veliq Fabiano
Published: October 2024

The objective of this article is to highlight, in a panoramic manner, the žižekian project of philosophy in his attempt to reconcile Lacanian psychology with Hegelian philosophy. We will highlight that this reading of Žižek will give primacy to Lacanian psychoanalysis by trying to interpret Hegel in the light of Lacan and not Lacan in the light of Hegel. Žižek's method depends on a sufficiently original reading of Hegel promoted by Žižek. The consequence of this reading of Žižek is to understand Hegel as a philosopher of contingency and not as a philosopher of the absolute.

Published: October 2024

Iris epithelial cysts are rare, spontaneous, epithelium-lined spaces that arise from the iris-pigmented epithelial layer and ciliary body and can cause a narrowing of the anterior chamber angle leading to a pseudo-plateau iris configuration (PPI). We present the case of an 80-year-old female patient with a history of decreased visual acuity, diagnosed with bilateral cataracts and pseudo-plateau iris secondary to multiple peripheral pigment cysts. This report describes the detection process, management strategy and course of treatment of a patient with bilateral cataracts who underwent cataract surgery by manual incision, and clinically presented with Pseudo-plateau iris secondary to Iris epithelial cyst. It highlights the importance of early detection and correct differentiation from malignant conditions, and anterior segment pathologies to prevent associated permanent complications.
Имитация как стратегия гончаров Уркеша и ее долговременные следствия
Authors: Kelly-Buccellati M.
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this article is the examination of the ceramics from Urkesh Phase 4 (dated to ca 21001900 B.C.) from the point of view of a fundamental aspect of the ceramic production in this time period, emulation and experimentation. This research leads to broader conclusions regarding the development of painted pottery first within the later part of Phase 4 and then continuing to emerge as the most important type of ceramic decoration throughout much of the second millennium. In other words I am reconstructing a situation within which the reemergence of painted ceramic decoration began in Phase 4b with an emulation of ceramics produced by ancient potters. This emulation conditioned the sensitivity of local potters and set the stage for them to take up the idea of painted ceramic decoration when it was reintroduced (Oguchi, 2001. P. 7187).1

Статья посвящена изучению керамики Телля Мюзан (Уркеш) фазы 4 (примерно 21001900 до н.э.) с точки зрения важнейшего аспекта ее производства в этот период имитации и экспериментирования. Проведенное исследование позволяет дополнить выводы о развитии расписной керамики с конца фазы 4 и далее в последующий период, когда на протяжении практически всего II тыс.до н.э. расписная керамика становится самым распространенным типом посуды. Автор статьи реконструирует ситуацию, когда на этапе фазы 4b расписная керамика вновь становится популярной, и гончары начинают имитировать керамические изделия древних мастеров. Такая имитация показывает уровень адаптации традиции керамической росписи после ее повторного появления на Телле Мюзан.
Дождь в Кувейте периода Халколита
Authors: Bielinski P.
Published: October 2024

Article is devoted to investigation of constructions that were built as protection against the water flows on the settlement Bahra 1, placed in the As-Sabiyah desert of Northern Kuwait. Based on the Ubaid 2/3 phase pottery imports, settlement is dated to the Early Chalcolithic period. Seminomadic inhabitants of the Bahra 1settlement have realized close contacts with South Mesopotamian sedentary population, which based their economy on the irrigation agriculture. It seems, however, that the water engineering in this case is typical of inhabitants of the desert regions, such as the semi-nomadic community living in the Bahra 1settlement.

Статья посвящена исследованию конструкций, построенных для отвода потоков воды, на поселении Бахра 1 в пустыне Аз-Сабиях в Северном Кувейте. Анализ импортной керамики убейдской фазы 2/3 позволяет отнести поселение к периоду раннего халколита. Полукочевые жители поселения Бахра 1 поддерживали тесные контакты с оседлым населением Южной Месопотамии, экономика которого была основана на орошаемом земледелии. Однако в рассматриваемом случае гидротехническое строительство результат деятельности жителей пустыни, полукочевников, проживавших на поселении Бахра 1.

Published: October 2024

В монографии рассматривается проблема обоснования социологических опросов потребителей, которые часто сталкиваются с невозможностью контроля репрезентативности выборки из-за отсутствия, во-первых, четкого определения генеральной совокупности, во-вторых – информации о ее характеристиках. Систематизируются основные подходы к интерпретации потребления как современного общественного феномена и потребителей как значимой социальной группы. Предлагается теоретически обоснованный и применимый в массовых опросах критерий их выделения. На базе всероссийского социологического опроса описываются профили основных групп потребителей массовых товаров и услуг по социально-демографическим характеристикам и отношению к торговым маркам.

Монография адресована специалистам в области прикладной социологии, маркетинга и исследователям потребительского поведения.
