Authors: Shimizu Yuki , Morimoto Shigeo , Sanada Masayuki , Inoue Yukinori
Published: December 2021

The optimal design of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors
requires a long time because finite element analysis (FEA) is performed
repeatedly. To solve this problem, many researchers have used artificial
intelligence to construct a prediction model that can replace FEA. However,
because the training data are generated by FEA, it takes a very long time to
obtain a sufficient amount of data, making it impossible to train a large-scale
prediction model. Here, we propose a method for generating a large amount of
data from a small number of FEA results using machine learning. An automatic
design system with a deep generative model and a convolutional neural network
is then constructed. With its sufficient data, the proposed system can handle
three topologies and three motor parameters in a wide range of current vector
regions. The proposed system was applied to multi-objective optimization
design, with the optimization completed in 13-15 seconds.
Semi-Supervised Generative Adversarial Network for Sentiment Analysis of drug reviews
Authors: Colón-Ruiz Cristóbal
Published: December 2021

Sentiment analysis has become a very popular research topic and covers a wide range of domains such as economy, politics and health. In the pharmaceutical field, automated analysis of online user reviews provides information on the effectiveness and potential side effects of drugs, which could be used to improve pharmacovigilance systems. Deep learning approaches have revolutionized the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), achieving state-of-the-art results in many tasks, such as sentiment analysis.

These methods require large annotated datasets to train their models. However, in most real-world scenarios, obtaining high-quality labeled datasets is an expensive and time-consuming task. In contrast, unlabeled texts task can be, generally, easily obtained.

In this work, we propose a semi-supervised approach based on a Semi-Supervised Generative Adversarial Network (SSGAN) to address the lack of labeled data for the sentiment analysis of drug reviews, and improve the results provided by supervised approaches in this task.

To evaluate the real contribution of this approach, we present a benchmark comparison between our semi-supervised approach and a supervised approach, which uses a similar architecture but without the generative adversal setting.

Experimental results show better performance of the semi-supervised approach when annotated reviews are less than ten percent of the training set, obtaining a significant improvement for the classification of neutral reviews, the class with least examples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that applies a SSGAN to the sentiment classification of drug reviews. Our semi-supervised approach provides promising results for dealing with the shortage of annotated dataset, but there is still much room to improvement.

Authors: Palomares-Caballero Ángel , Megías Carlos , Molero Carlos , Alex-Amor Antonio , Padilla Pablo
Published: December 2021

This paper presents a gap-waveguide phase shifter based on ridged unit cell with glide-symmetric configuration. The proposed unit cell design provides higher phase shift compared with a conventional ridged unit cell whose ridge height and waveguide width are tuned to achieve a stable phase shift. Through the insertion of glide-symmetric holes with semi-circle base in the ridged waveguide, a stable phase shift in a wide frequency range is achieved. Depending on the radii of the holes, the stable phase shift can be covered the desired frequency range. A 90o phase shifter in millimeter-wave range is designed in order to validate the analysis. The impedance bandwidth of the phase shifter is from 32 GHz to 42.5 GHz (28.18%) providing a phase shift of 90o+- 2o in the entire frequency range.

The methane (CH4) burning interruption factor and the characteristic values characterizing the flame combustion state in the engine cylinder were defined. The logical mapping relationship between image feature values and combustion conditions in the framework of iconology was proposed. Results show that there are two periods of combustion instability and combustion stability during the combustion of dual fuel. The high temperature region with a cylinder temperature greater than 1800K is the largest at 17°CA after top dead center (TDC), accounting for 73.25% of the combustion chamber area. During the flame propagation, the radial flame velocity and the axial flame velocity are “unimodal” and “wavy,” respectively. During the combustion process, the CH4 burning interruption factor first increased and then decreased. The combustion duration in dual fuel mode is 21.25°CA, which is 15.5°CA shorter than the combustion duration in pure diesel mode.

Published: December 2021

The present study investigated the machinability aspects, namely, surface roughness, sound intensity, power consumption, and crater wear, during dry turning of hardened AISI 4140 steel (63 HRC) employing (TiCN/Al2O3/TiN) multilayer-coated carbide inserts under dry cutting condition. The relationship between machining parameters and output parameters was determined using the Taguchi design. The analysis of variance was employed to evaluate the contributions of input parameters on output parameters. The main effect plots illustrated the impacts of cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut on response variables. Results show that the feed was the most dominant factor that affects surface roughness. Increasing the feed value increases the surface roughness, power consumption, and sound intensity. In the other part of this study, the constant values for feed (0.3 mm/rev), depth of cut (0.7 mm), and cutting speed (150 m/min) have been selected to evaluate a tool life that has 0.3 mm crater wear criteria. The results indicated that multilayer-coated carbide inserts presented very good tool life and reached 0.3 mm in 90 min. The experimental study results showed that chipping and abrasion were found to be the significant wear mechanism during hard turning of AISI 4140 steel. The cutting speed was the most significant parameter on the tool wear, although high cutting speed results the good surface finish but adversely increases the tool crater wear.
Vibration control of a linear flexible beam structure excited by multiple harmonics
Authors:   Mechanical Engineering Department, King Saud University, Riyadh, 11421, Saudi Arabia, A. Albassam Bassam
Published: December 2021

This paper deals with designing a control force to create nodal point(s) having zero displacement and/or zero slope at selected locations in a vibrating beam structure excited by multiple harmonic forces. It is shown that the steady state vibrations at desired points can be eliminated using applied control forces. The control forces design method is implemented using dynamic Green’s functions that transform the equations of motion from differential to algebraic equations, in which the resulting solution is analytic and exact. The control problem is greatly simplified by utilizing the superposition principle that leads to calculating the control forces to create node(s) for each excitation frequency independently. The calculated control forces can be realized using passive elements such as masses and springs connected to the beam having reaction forces equal to the calculated control forces. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on various cases using numerical examples. Through examples, it was shown that creating node(s) with zero deflection, as well as zero slope, not only results in isolated stationary points, but also suppresses the vibrations along a wide region of the beam.
WHEN CHOOSING CATALYSTS FOR THE CONVERSION OF ISOBUTYLENE PRINCIPLES OF QUALITY AND QUANTITY
Authors: Irada Ahmadova Irada Ahmadova
Published: December 2021

Catalysts play an extremely important role in wildlife and industry. Today it is difficult to describe chemistry and petrochemistry without catalytic processes. Catalytic processes account for 80-85% of oil refining. Therefore, the problem of choosing a catalyst is of interest both from the point of view of quality and quantity. In this paper, the activity of a high silicon zeolite catalyst used in the conversion of isobutene was studied at various temperatures, and it was determined that a sample of the zeolite catalyst during the process initially had no catalytic activity during the conversion of isobutene. The release of liquid products is observed only after the formation of 5-8% of compaction products (PM) on the surface within 25-30 minutes from the beginning. Consequently, modifiers have a positive effect on catalytic activity. In this case, the number and strength of the acid sites of the catalyst changes.
The study of isobutene conversion process showed that the formation of liquid products is observed at 150°C. It was shown that in this case in the temperature range 150°C-300°C liquid products of isobutene reaction consist of primarily from aliphatic and at 350°C- 450°C from aromatic hydrocarbons.
The process of conversion of hexane-1 on the high-silica zeolite catalyst is studied and it was shown that the decomposition of hexene-1 into ethene and propene is occure at the beginning, at 250°C and then the process takes place in a mixture of the two olefins. It was shown by the using of XRD, TG/DTA methods, that the formed products of seals in the conversion of isobutene and 1-hexene over the high silica zeolite catalyst,is composed of two phases that differ from each other in thermal stability. The obtained liquid products during the conversion of isobutene at 150°C-300°C can be used as high-octane gasoline fractions as motor fuel component.
The adsorbed NH3 probe molecules method showed that during the conversion of propene, isobutene and hexene-1, the amount of acid sites of spent catalysts is reduced by 43-50%. In this state, the catalyst exhibits high catalytic activity.

Published: December 2021

High-rise multi-storey buildings are one of the most widely used types of buildings in town-planning (urban planning). Depending on their purpose, high-rise multi-storey buildings are considered to be both constructive and engineering-technically complex objects. The current use of modern construction technologies intends the widespread use of a large number of engineering systems in high-rise multi-storey buildings. These include such examples as ventilation, heating, lighting, communications, building automation, etc.
It should be pointed out that fire safety systems play one of the key roles in building automation. This is due to the fact that multi-storey buildings have rather high energy consumers and the use of a large number of various systems consequently increase the probability of fire occurence. In addition, it is worth pointing out that the human factor plays an important role in fire occurrence, because human is the direct author of constructive and technical solutions, the end user of the apartments having a high probability of fire, so much depends on his actions as a result.
The main purpose of the paper is to analyze the use of various technical units to increase the efficiency of multi-storey buildings in terms of fire safety. First, fire is studied as a physicochemical process and then analysis of various fire safety problems that arise during the operation of multi-storey buildings in the Republic of Azerbaijan and foreign countries and their practical solutions based on this analysis are examined in the article.

Molecular targets regulating endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria crosstalk for NAFLD treatment
Authors: Zhang Chunye , Yang Ming
Published: December 2021

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as the most common chronic liver disease poses a significant impact on public healthcare and economic risk worldwide. As a multifactorial disease, NAFLD is usually associated with many comorbidities such as obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Without effectively preventive intervention, the advanced stage of NAFLD, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is no approved therapeutic treatment. Excessive fat accumulation in the liver is the hallmark of NAFLD, which can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Dysfunction of two organelles also induces the upregulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), and disruption of calcium transport, which promote NAFLD progression. Herein, this review summarized the current understanding of the roles of mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Specifically, this review focused on the key molecules associated with the ER-mitochondria communication and different treatment options by targeting ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction to treat NAFLD or NASH. Clinical trials to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of representative agents, such as natural products, metabolites, and modulators of stress, have been reviewed and analyzed. Overall, recent findings suggest that targeting ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction holds a promise for NAFLD treatment.

Indigenous knowledge is one of the most notable traditional sources about plants used to treat diseases. Thus, the aim of this study was to describe the botanical features and to investigate the pharmacological properties of plants used by the Kantaruré-Batida community to treat intestinal parasitosis. Botanical characterization was performed based on integrative review and on access to ‘Flora do Brasil’ platform, whereas plants’ pharmacological properties were investigated through systematic review. Among the 21 ethnospecies used, 48% were described as having activity against intestinal parasites. Although 52% had no such activity described, other properties can account for their use, that indicates that further studies are required. Therefore, this review reinforces the importance of valuing indigenous knowledge as tool to guide antiparasitic agent trials.

In this paper, we evaluate the crypto resistance of known cryptographic methods and methods based on the use of noise-like signals, similar in properties to "limited" white noise and used to spread spectrum of transmitted messages, to the destructive effect of "viewing transmitted data" (decipher), based on the search of code structures (brute force), in the case of quantum computers. It’s established that the required value of the number of code structures (key space), taking into account the constantly improving and developing computing power of quantum computers, for the next few years should be considered a value of 1032 of the number of code structures (key space) and higher, providing crypto resistance for a minimum of 3 years. It’s shown that the Grover algorithm is similar to the destructive effect of "viewing transmitted data" (decipher), based on a complete search of all code structures (brute force) using modern super- computers. It’s established that well-known symmetric cryptographic methods can potentially be used in the post-quantum era and methods based on noise-like signals potentially, provided they are detected and aware of the methods underlying them (without knowledge of the key), cannot be applied in the post-quantum era. According to the authors, a promising approach in the post-quantum era for information security issues is the use of chaotic signals.
DVCompute Simulator for discrete event simulation
Authors:   IE Sorokin D. E., Sorokin David E.
Published: December 2021

The author of this article represents his own work DVCompute Simulator, which is a collection of general-purpose programming libraries for discrete event simulation. The aim of the research was to create a set of simulators in the Rust language, efficient in terms of speed of execution, based on a unified approach and destined for different simulation modes. The simulators implement such modes as ordinary sequential simulation, nested simulation and distributed simulation. The article describes that nested simulation is related to Theory of Games, while distributed simulation can be used for running large-scale simulation models on supercomputers. It is shown how these different simulation modes can be implemented based on the single approach that combines many paradigms: the event-oriented paradigm, the process-oriented one, blocks similar to the GPSS language and even partially agent-based modeling. The author's approach is based on using the functional programming techniques, where the simulation model is defined as a composition of computations. The results of testing two modules are provided, where the modules support both the optimistic and conservative methods of distributed simulation.

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, and is also a developing country, which of course has many aspects on all fronts and on all sides. The problems in developing countries are of course the concern of all parties, especially the government which is currently the leader in leading the wheels of government. In overcoming these problems, of course, it must be handled in a good way or method, especially with a social approach or method, a preventive way, and a persuasive way. With the existence of these problems, of course, will have an adverse impact, both in terms of "problem solving". One way to apply activities that are universal, comprehensive and intact is by carrying out social activities for the community, combining Tri Dhrama Higher Education activities, external institutions or NGOs (Non-Government Organizations), and collaboration with local governments (District / Village) local. This method of implementing community service programs is in the context of delivering the transformation of knowledge in providing an understanding of the importance of the presence of NGOs in social life. Overall this service activity ran smoothly and was followed enthusiastically by the local village community. Some things that can be concluded about the results of community service are the high interest of the community in attending this service, and there is a change in the behavior pattern of the village community who have begun to understand the function of NGOs.

Changes in learning patterns from face-to-face to distance learning indirectly make teachers have to be able to adapt quickly to the use of technology as the main means of learning. The technological knowledge possessed by teachers is of course a major factor in the success and effectiveness of online learning. Community Service Activities carried out at the Yapis Merauke Junior High School aim to improve the ability of teachers to manage technology-based learning which is carried out in 3 forms of activity, namely socialization, training, and mentoring equipped with practice and learning simulations using Edmodo. The stages of activity include socializing about Edmodo as an e-learning platform, training on account creation and classes in Edmodo to assisting the use of Edmodo in learning activities, and evaluating activities to determine the increase in technological knowledge of Yapis Merauke Middle School teachers. The indicator of increasing technological knowledge is indicated by more than 75% of Yapis Junior High School teachers being able to use Edmodo as an online learning tool.
