Electronic Medical Records Using Blockchain Technology
Authors: Sucharitha G , Sai Aditya G , Varsha J , Sai Nikhil G
Published: October 2023

Blockchain technology has emerged as a crucial tool for ensuring security and reliability in various domains, particularly in healthcare. In this study, we utilize blockchain to establish an append-only chain of transaction blocks, ensuring the integrity and security of patient medical records. By employing blockchain, we aim to safeguard patient data, grant specific clinicians’ access to medical records, and ensure user privacy. The doctor will only receive prescription information after the patient has granted access, ensuring comprehensive protection for both parties. Consensus mechanisms within the blockchain guarantee consistency among blocks and require agreement from existing nodes before adding new transactions. Traditional healthcare systems often result in delays in data exchange and strict restrictions on access due to concerns about sensitive data leakage. By integrating blockchain technology into healthcare records and data, this article seeks to enhance data sharing while mitigating the risks of data tampering and security breaches.

Published: October 2023

An enormous amount of heterogeneous Textual Medical Knowledge (TMK), which is crucial to healthcare information systems, has been produced by the explosion of healthcare information. Existing efforts to incorporate and use textual medical knowledge primarily concentrate on setting up simple links and pay less attention to creating computers comprehend information accurately and rapidly. Self-diagnostic symptom checkers and clinical decision support systems have seen a significant rise in demand in recent years. Existing systems rely on knowledge bases that are either automatically generated using straightforward paired statistics or manually constructed through a time-consuming    procedure. The study explored   process to learn textual data, linking disease and symptoms from web-based documents. Medical concepts were scrapped and collected from different web-based sources. The research aims to generate a disease- symptom-diagnosis knowledge graph (DSDKG), with the help of web-based documents. Moreover, the knowledge graph is fed in to Graph neural network with Attention Mechanism (GAT) for learning the nodes and edges relationships. . Lastly Generative Pretrained Transformer 2 (GPT2) all enclosed in a Reinforced learning environment, is used on the trained model to generate text based recommendations.

Published: October 2023

Let
$\Gamma \subset \overline {\mathbb {Q}}^*$
be a finitely generated subgroup. Denote by
$\Gamma _{\mathrm {div}}$
its division group. A recent conjecture due to Rémond, related to the Zilber–Pink conjecture, predicts that the absolute logarithmic Weil height of an element of
$\mathbb {Q}(\Gamma _{\mathrm {div}})^*\backslash \Gamma _{\mathrm {div}}$
is bounded from below by a positive constant depending only on
$\Gamma $
. In this paper, we propose a new way to tackle this problem.
Methanol (M85) Port-Fuel-Injected Spark Ignition Motorcycle Engine
Development—Part 2: Dynamic Performance, Transient Emissions, and Catalytic
Converter Effectiveness
Authors: Agarwal Avinash , Yadav Omkar , Valera Hardikk
Published: October 2023

Methanol is emerging as an alternate internal combustion engine fuel. It is
getting attention in countries such as China and India as an emerging transport
fuel. Using methanol in spark ignition engines is easier and more economical
than in compression ignition engines via the blending approach. M85 (85% v/v
methanol and 15% v/v gasoline) is one of the preferred blends with the highest
methanol concentration. However, its physicochemical properties significantly
differ from gasoline, leading to challenges in operating existing vehicles. This
experimental study addresses the challenges such as cold-start operation and
poor throttle response of M85-fueled motorcycle using a port fuel injection
engine. In this study, M85-fueled motorcycle prototype is developed with
superior performance, similar/better drivability, and lower emissions than a
gasoline-fueled port-fuel-injected motorcycle. An open electronic control unit
was installed using suitable wiring harness/sensors and actuators to control the
engine. Then the motorcycle electronic control unit was calibrated for transient
operations on a chassis dynamometer. The motorcycle was tested under road load
simulation and wide-open throttle conditions on the chassis dynamometer to
compare its performance with a baseline gasoline-fueled motorcycle. Evaluation
parameters included power at wheels, maximum vehicle speed, and time-based and
speed-based acceleration characteristics. Transient emissions were evaluated
following the Indian driving cycle protocols. The effectiveness of the catalytic
converter for M85 fueling was assessed by comparing various emissions upstream
and downstream of the catalytic converter. M85-fueled motorcycle generated
higher power at wheels and similar maximum speeds as baseline gasoline-fueled
motorcycle. Fine-tuned M85-fueled motorcycle exhibited superior acceleration
characteristics over baseline gasoline-fueled motorcycle, indicating that an
appropriate tuning strategy could tackle the issue of “drivability.” M85-fueled
motorcycle emitted lower carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon during the warm-up
cycles in the Indian driving cycle protocol. The inherent fuel oxygen of M85
enhanced the carbon monoxide–carbon dioxide conversion, reducing carbon monoxide
emissions in the engine exhaust. The existing catalytic converter was also
suitable for M85 fueling since the hydrocarbon, nitric oxide, and carbon
monoxide emissions were effectively reduced downstream of the catalytic
converter in all test conditions.
Investigations on Multiple Injection Strategies in a
Common Rail Diesel Engine Using Machine Learning and
Image-Processing Techniques
Authors: Vaze Abhijeet , Mehta Pramod S. , Krishnasamy Anand
Published: October 2023

The present study examines the effect of the multiple injection
strategies in a common rail diesel engine using machine
learning, image processing, and object detection techniques.
The study demonstrates a novel approach of utilizing
image-processing tools to gain information from heat release
rates and in-cylinder visualizations from experimental or
computational studies. The 3D CFD combustion and emission
predictions of a commercial code ANSYS FORTE© are validated
with small-bore common rail diesel engine data with known
injection strategies. The validated CFD tool is used as a
virtual plant model to optimize the injection schedule for
reducing oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and soot
emissions using an apparent heat release rate image-based
machine learning tool. A methodology of the machine learning
tool is quite helpful in predicting the NO–soot trade-off.
This methodology shows a significant reduction in soot and
NO emissions using a pilot–main–post-injection schedule of
25% pilot, 25% post-, and 50% main injection, compared to a
baseline pilot–main injection schedule. In addition, this
work attempts a robust and high-fidelity optimization of the
fuel injection schedule using the random forest algorithm
for predicting the NO and soot emissions using 73
simulations done with different pilot–main and
pilot–main–post-injection strategies on a small-bore diesel
engine. Further, the object detection algorithm is trained
on simulation data from the small-bore engine for detecting
the interaction between the developed combustion from the
pilot or main with sprays of subsequent injections using
in-cylinder 3D CFD simulation and experimental data. A
small-bore engine dataset shows that the trained object
detection algorithm successfully corroborates the simulation
and experimental data interaction. This investigation,
therefore, presents a novel application of object detection
methodology by automating the process and providing a
general-purpose object detection algorithm. This approach
can be used on any new simulation or experimental data for
automated detection of the spray–thermal zone interaction
without human intervention.
Blending Carbon Intensity for Ethanol in Gasoline
Authors: Higgins Terrence , Clark Nigel , Klein Tammy , McKain David
Published: October 2023

Greenhouse gas emissions reduction from the light-duty transportation fleet is urgent and should address both electric and conventional powertrain technologies. Internal combustion engines will continue to be employed for vehicle propulsion and fleet turnover is slow, encouraging reduction of carbon content in gasoline. Currently ethanol, a renewable fuel, is blended at the 10% level into petroleum to produce finished market gasoline. Ethanol enables a less carbon-intensive petroleum blendstock composition, providing for additional reduction, but this is often overlooked in studies. Carbon intensity, as a ratio of CO2 mass to heat released upon combustion, is a measure of well-to-wheels greenhouse gas production. The well-to-wheels carbon intensity of ethanol does not include its chemical carbon content because it arises from a renewable source, but does consider all upstream farming, production, and transportation carbon impacts. The well-to-wheels carbon intensity of the petroleum fraction includes the chemically bound carbon, as well as production and transportation impact. Carbon intensity modeling results for ethanol vary widely, primarily due to differences in land-use change assessment. The GREET model has gained wide acceptance and provides a present-day carbon intensity for pure ethanol that is 43% lower than for petroleum gasoline. Ethanol exhibits a high blending octane number so that the petroleum component has a lower octane rating than required for purely petroleum gasoline. Fuel trends and modeling suggest that a 10% (by volume) ethanol addition enables a 9% reduction of aromatics, which have a high carbon intensity. If the carbon reduction benefits of the aromatic reduction are assigned to the agency of the ethanol, the blending carbon intensity of ethanol is 56% lower than for petroleum gasoline. Increase in ethanol blending therefore offers substantial immediate climate change reduction.
Improving Cruise Control Efficiency through Speed Flexibility & On-Board Data
Authors: Grewal Amanpal , Zebiak Matthew
Published: October 2023

In recent decades, significant technological advances have made cruise control systems safer, more automated, and available in more driving scenarios. However, comparatively little progress has been made in optimizing vehicle efficiency while in cruise control. In this paper, two distinct strategies are proposed to deliver efficiency benefits in cruise control by leveraging flexibility around the driver’s requested set speed, and road information that is available on-board in many new vehicles. In today’s cruise control systems, substantial energy is wasted by rigidly controlling to a single set speed regardless of the terrain or road conditions. Introducing even a small allowable “error band” around the set speed can allow the propulsion system to operate in a pseudo-steady state manner across most terrain. As long as the vehicle can remain in the allowed speed window, it can maintain a roughly constant load, traveling slower up hills and faster down hills. This strategy reduces the frequency of transient events (e.g. powertrain downshifts, enrichment following fuel cut-off) and the dramatic inefficiencies that result, particularly in ICE applications. The two strategies mentioned differ based on the propulsion control system’s knowledge of the anticipated elevation profile. Where upcoming elevation information is not known, a reactive strategy is used. This maintains efficient optimized steady-state operation for as long as possible, but then takes corrective action when vehicle speed approaches the boundaries of the allowed speed window. Where elevation of upcoming roads is known, a more capable predictive strategy is used. This can anticipate severe grades in advance and make milder corrections over longer time periods to avoid sharp transient behavior. Both strategies demonstrate that significant improvements in fuel economy and EV range can be achieved by relaxing the requirement that cruise control maintain a single constant speed at all times.
Co-Simulation of a BEV Thermal Management System with Focus on Advanced Simulation Methodologies
Authors: Frühwirth Christian , Lorbeck Roland , Schutting Eberhard , Eichlseder Helmut
Published: October 2023

In battery electric vehicles (BEV), thermal management is a key technique to improve efficiency and lifetime. Currently, manufacturers use different cooling concepts with numerous architectures. This work describes the development of a co-simulation framework to optimize BEV thermal management on system level, using advanced simulation methodologies also on component level, merging simulation and testing.

Due to interactions between multiple conditioning circuits, thermal management optimization requires an overall vehicle approach. Thus, a full vehicle co-simulation of a BEV is developed, combining 1D thermal management software KULI and MATLAB/Simulink. Within co-simulation, the precise modeling of vehicle’s subsystems is important to predict thermal behavior and to calculate dynamic heating and cooling demands as well as exchanged energy flows with the thermal management system. Here, different methodologies are applied for cabin and battery modeling and simulation, with this paper primarily focusing on the battery and its cooling system.

Inhomogeneous coolant flow within complex channel geometries complicates the simulation of temperature distribution and heat exchange in the battery, so simulation and testing are merged. The inner cell structures are modeled with detailed thermal networks, followed by scaling and extrapolation methods to estimate the thermal behavior at pack level. In parallel, a novel thermal dummy cell is developed, designed and realized in a hardware prototype, which reproduces heat generation due to electrochemical processes by inner heating elements. Furthermore, the co-simulation is extended to a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation by coupling battery simulation with thermal dummy cell hardware prototypes on test bench. This configuration enables the validation and correction of simulated thermal behavior and heat flows by measured heat transfer data.
Effects of the Combustion Enhancer Containing Alkyl Nitrate (CEN) to Methanol in a Direct-Injection Compression Ignition (DICI) Engine
Authors: Samson Richard , Morin Anne-Gaëlle , Foucher Fabrice
Published: October 2023

When a biofuel, methanol is an interesting alternative for internal combustion engines (ICE). Despite drawbacks such as misfiring or instabilities at low loads, methanol has several advantages. Today, dual-fuel systems allow the use of methanol in combination with diesel fuel. This paper will present a different approach, the ability to use methanol in a flex-fuel system. The addition of a combustion enhancer containing alkyl nitrate (CEN) allows the use of methanol in a direct-injection compression ignition (DICI) engine without any changing. In this paper, different volume fractions of this additive are tested. The aim is to show the effect of the CEN on the combustion of methanol. The effect of CEN on methanol has been confirmed thanks to previous tests carried out on a Rapid Compression Machine (RCM). Ignition delay times (IDT) and auto-ignition temperature were reduced with small amounts of CEN. The engine is a single-cylinder, with a displacement of 0.499L and a compression ratio (CR) of 17.5. CEN-tested volume fractions are 0 - 1 - 2 - 5%, targeting an Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP) of 3 bar, aiming not to exceed a coefficient of variation of 5% (CoVIMEP). Tests show that methanol combustion is highly dependent on intake conditions such as temperature and pressure, while the addition of just 1% CEN in 99% methanol reduces this dependence. Thanks to all the parameters measured, such as in-cylinder pressure or exhaust gases, these results show that methanol, with the help of CEN, could achieve some diesel-like behaviours.
Life-cycle Analysis of Methanol Production from Coke Oven Gas in China
Authors: Fu Yang , Wang Buyu , Shuai Shijin
Published: October 2023

The growing demand for transportation fuels and the global emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have led to increased interest in analyzing transport GHG emissions from the life-cycle perspective. Methanol, a potentially carbon-neutral fuel synthesized from CO2 and H2, has emerged as a promising candidate. This paper conducts a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) of the GHG emissions associated with the methanol production process, utilizing data inventory from China in 2019. To simulate the synthesis and distillation process of methanol, Aspen Plus is employed, using parameters obtained from actual plants. GHG emissions are then calculated using the GREET model, incorporating updated industry statistics and research findings. The CO2 necessary for methanol production is captured from factory flue gas. Two different sources of H2 are considered: one from Coke Oven Gas (COG) and the hydrogen-rich gas byproduct resulting from COG methanation (Case 1), and the other via water electrolysis (Case 2). The GHG emissions of methanol production for Case 1 and Case 2 are found to be -0.08 and 6.36 kg CO2-eq/kg methanol, respectively. However, if wind power is the sole source of electricity, the GHG emissions for both cases are reduced to -0.68 and -0.65 kg CO2-eq/kg methanol, respectively. The adoption of CO2 capture technology is the main reason for both systems to achieve negative emissions. The lower GHG emissions in Case 1 are attributed to the energy and emission allocation of byproducts. To achieve net zero GHG emissions in Case 2, the GHG emissions of electricity generation need to be reduced by 88% of the current level. This reduction is expected to be achieved by 2050, based on projected power generation mixes and efficiency improvements in water electrolysis in China.

Karbala is located in central Iraq, which is bounded by latitudes (32° 50' 15" - 32° 10' 15") and longitudes (43° 09' 41"– 44° 18' 56"), the area under study covers an area of 4,987 km2. It is a part of unstable shelf of the sedimentary plain zone and Al-Salman zone of the stable shelf, so it is a flat area, which gradually declines from the southwest towards the northeast. The geological formations which are exposed in the study area, having a range between middle Miocene and Pleistocene – Recent deposits. Two main aquifers were distinguished in the area, confined and unconfined one. Depending on the karbala meteorological station information (rainfall, temperature and humidity) from 1980 - 2019 utilizing Thornthwait formela's, the water overflow was accounted, appearing the renewed water store for the unconfined system, equalized to 111.0 *106 m3/year whereas the calculated constant volume of water for both systems was found to be equivalent to a total of 13.84 * 109 m3 However, after calculating the difference between the total water that in-coming the area (including, income subsurface runoff, recharge, fluctuation in monitoring wells and out-coming (including, discharge of pumping wells, outflow wells drainage, spring drainage, outcome subsurface runoff), the amount of change in the storage is found to be (+32.573 * 109 m3). The amount of positive change indicates the presence of excess water which can be added to both systems. The direction of the groundwater movements for the two main systems are highly matched between them as well as its similarity with the topographic surface.

Published: October 2023

This research includes the finite deformation study from five oriented samples of the sandstone rocks for the Injana Formation. in the SW flank of Bekhme Anticline in NE Iraq. Analysis and measurement of the finite deformation were carried out on sandstone beds that are mostly of continental environments. This work is based on the Fry method for strain analysis. The calculated strain was illustrated, in the form of ellipsoids, within three prepared orthogonal single surfaces in a single type, as well as, the method was used to estimate the ratio of the strain for these types of samples. The finite deformation in the study area is not considered high, this was mainly because the sandstone rock samples undergo brittle strain during the faulting and the folding. The computed ratios of strain, (3-D trend for deformation axes) of deformation rocks were equivalence to the Flinn chart that is usually used for plotting deformation ellipsoids, and accordingly method of stereographical projection, the maximum axis for that ellipsoid was parallel to the measured Bekhme Anticline axis and minimum axis was orthogonal to the axis of Bekhme Anticline in the studied region. This trend of those axes was related to the Arabian Plate movement.

The IGMAS+ forward program is used to compare upward continuation and Gaussian wavelength techniques in separating residual from regional anomalies of gravity data of a synthetic model and case study area, in eastern central Iraq. The comparison indicate a certain relation between the upward continuation and the Gaussian wavelength cutoff, so it is possible to produce the same regional and residual anomaly maps using each one of them. For the study area, the Gaussian cutoff 115000 maps coincide with the upward 12km regional and residuals maps, also the Gaussian cutoff 455000 maps coincide the upward 54km.The relation between the parameters of the two techniques, in case of produce coincide maps, it may be used to obtain the depth of gravity anomaly causative sources. It is found that ratio of Gaussian wavelength cutoff parameter to the upward parameter multiplied by 1.25 equal to the average level depth below the deeper source causing the residual anomalies. The average depth of residual anomalies in the case study area found equal to 10.5 km. The basement depth in the study area were coincide with the depth values from previous studies and geologically is very acceptabile.

The Karo traditional ceremony is often referred to as the Karo holiday or Praise Karo, which is a ritual ceremony of the Tengger Tribe which consists of various kinds of rituals. At this Karo Ceremony, the Tengger people commemorate Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (God) who created two types of human beings (Karo), namely men and women as their ancestors. In a series of rituals performed by many men, such as the sodoran and the tip dance. Researchers investigated how the communication patterns of men and women in the Karo tradition of Jetak Village. This study used a qualitative method by trying to study deeply about the perspective of male and female communication patterns in the karo tradition of the tengger tribe, Jetak village. The results of this study indicate that the communication process that occurs between men and women in the karo tradition is a model of a divided, balanced communication pattern. Where the communication that occurs is well established and dynamic. In this pattern of communication, men and women have different areas of power. Men and women are seen as experts in different fields. During the communication process, there are different forms of conversation between men and women of the Tengger tribe. These differences can be distinguished in the form of feminine and masculine language styles. The women of the Tengger tribe will show themselves as responsive individuals and their goal is none other than to maintain friendly relations with each other, while their men will speak with clear objectives, not to beat around the bush. In addition to the form of conversation, there are different communication behaviors during the communication process between men and women, namely among them report talks conducted by men and report talk conducted by women, in the tradition of karo - men of the Tengger tribe who are more active in speaking in the public sphere and women who are more active in speaking in the private sphere (private speaking).

Gerakan hingga penelitian telah memgungkapkan kepada kita bahwa media telah digunakan oleh banyak pihak untuk menyisipkan pesan kultural yang ideologis. Dari berbagai penelitian, kita menemukan bahwa media digunakan pula oleh ideologi budaya patriarki untuk menarasikan pesan-pesan yang mensubordinasikan perempuan, menghegemonikan dalam kepala masyarakat, dan menjadikan sebagai gaya hidup. Media terus berkembang dengan caranya. Salah satunya moving picture, drama korea yang mencapai popularitas hingga ke mancanegara. Namun ada dugaan drama korea meskipun menampilkan tayangan-tayangan menghibur, didalamnya memuat pesan-pesan pembagian peran perempuan. Dengan mengambil objek Drama Korean EVE, dan menggunakan metode analisis naratif milik Propp diharapkan bisa memberikan gambaran, bagaimana di era modern ini.

Perempuan yang mencoba mengambil peranan laki-laki digambarkan dalam situasi yang kurang harmonis, kurang bermoral, dan mengabaikan norma-norma sosial. Perempuan yang mencoba menjadi mandiri, dianggap berbahaya, dan berakhir dengan kesendirian.

Semiotics is one of the most interpretive methods of communication research in analyzing texts, and its success or failure as a method rests on how well researchers are able to articulate the cases they study. The semiotic tradition consists of a set of theories about how signs represent things, ideas, circumstances, situations, feelings, and conditions beyond the signs themselves. The study of signs not only provides a way of looking at communication, but has had a strong influence on almost all perspectives of communication theory. The basic concept that unifies the semiotic tradition, the sign which is defined as a stimulus that signifies or denotes some other condition, such as when smoke indicates the presence of fire, a symbol which usually signifies a complex sign with many meanings, including very special meanings. Some experts make a strong distinction between signs and symbols. Signs in reality have a clear reference to something, while symbols do not. Semiotics has the advantage of producing textured "thick descriptions" and complex analyses.
