Authors: Li Kairui
Published: November 2024

Abstract. As global temperatures increased by 1.1 Celsius degrees, there has unprecedented shifts in climate systems. With the rising impact of global warming, exploring the warming trend helps to better understand and maintain the local environment and economy. This study focuses on predicting atmospheric temperature in the Sacramento area using ARIMA and ETS models. The research uses the temperature data from Sacramento Airport's Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) and explores the prediction performance of ARIMA, ETS, and ARIMAX models in predicting daily average temperatures. The results indicate the ARIMAX (1,1,1) model is the most suitable for forecasting this temperature data with the lowest AIC and RMSE values. However, there are still challenges, in particular the dependence of the ARIMAX model on future exogenous variables, which leads to the forecast outcomes less accurate. To enable this ARIMAX models have better prediction performance, incorporating more exogenous variables is a potential solution. Therefore, the methods discussed in this paper provides ideas for the atmospheric temperature forecasting and points out the direction for further research.

Authors: Li Ruibin
Published: November 2024

Abstract. House prices have risen rapidly, and finding the factors affecting house prices is significant for regulating house prices. Existing literature discusses the factors affecting house prices, but does not analyze the key factors affecting house prices and get a good fit with a multiple linear regression model. Therefore, this paper is of practical significance for the selection and fitting of key variables that explain the rise in house prices. In Spearman's correlation analysis, strong correlation and covariance diagnostics were found for gross product. After linear fitting, it is found that gross product, commercial real estate sales area will have an impact on house prices. The results of this paper on the impact of GDP and commercial real estate sales area on housing prices are conducive to the relevant agencies to take measures to adjust housing prices. At the same time, for people who have the need to buy a house, understanding the main influencing factors is conducive to consumers' initial judgment on the trend of house prices, and then make a decision.

Authors: Huang Lang
Published: November 2024

Abstract. In order to compare and analyze the influence of different structural parameters on the muffler performance of multi-section expansion chamber muffler, this paper explores the main factors affecting the noise suppression performance through the transmission loss formula, and it establishes the model of two cylindrical expansion chamber silencer. The muffler expansion chamber is analyzed by changing the section number of the muffler expansion chamber, the cross-section diameter of the front and rear expansion chamber, the length of the front and rear expansion chamber, the length of connecting tube, the arrangement order of expansion chamber with different cross-section area and the arrangement order of expansion chamber with different length. The simulation results show that the muffler volume can be effectively increased by increasing the number of expansion chamber and the cross-section diameter of expansion chamber. The length of the expansion chamber does not show the peak value of the transmission loss curve, which only affects the span of the transfer loss curve; the order of the expansion chamber with different diameters and the arrangement order of the expansion chamber with different lengths have little influence on the transmission loss peak value of the muffler; the change of the length of the connecting tube affects the span of the transmission loss curve, but the peak value of the transfer loss curve is not affected. This study can be used as a reference for the design of a multi-section expansion chamber silencer.

An adaptively perceptual video filtering algorithm
Authors: Han Zongjin
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Usually, noise is unavoidable in the video, and it is necessary to research effective filtering algorithms. However, most of the filtering algorithms are oriented to objective filtering, which doesnt take the Human Visual System (HVS) into consideration. Consequently, we propose a perceptually adaptive bilateral filtering algorithm with spatial-temporal characteristics. There are two main aspects of the proposed algorithm, which are ME with JND and bilateral filtering with temporal consideration. Firstly, we utilize JND to guide the ME process, and then the results of ME will adjust the strength of bilateral filtering. Experimental results prove our algorithm achieves significant performance improvement on objective quality metrics while maintaining subjective quality with negligible difference, respectively.
Statistical mathematics in video games
Authors: Li Zeming
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Statistics play a crucial role in game design and development, with statistical mathematics being an essential element that developers must carefully consider. The paper introduces how statistical elements can be utilized to develop a creative gameplay mechanism that precisely aligns with the general requirements of players. Since the players gaming experience is considered the most important factor in a game, developers should be open to modifying their game based on feedback from dissatisfied players, which will enable the development team to provide an enhanced experience for all players. For multiplayer online games, the matching mechanism, which determines the teammates and opponents for each player, is just as crucial as the game's basic gameplay mechanism. Through statistical classification methods, we can improve the fairness of this matching process by analyzing players previous behavior and labeling them with their level. Overall, we can conclude that statistics can be used to design games by establishing a general framework and incorporating compelling elements. Additionally, statistics are essential for balancing game attributes and facilitating the perfect matching process.

Authors: Sui Chengrui
Published: November 2024

Abstract. This study investigates the aerodynamic phenomena of drafting, a common technique observed in various racing sports, by analyzing the wake dynamics behind two 2D elliptic cylinders placed in tandem. The research explores how the separation distance and the azimuthal angle between the cylinders affect turbulent wake patterns and aerodynamic coefficients. A numerical study was conducted using a RANS-based simulation, with findings validated through physical experiments in a wind tunnel. The study identifies six distinct wake dynamics: Wake states without vortex shedding, Single bluff body wake, Suppressed vortex shedding, Coupled vortex shedding, Anti-phase vortex shedding, and In-phase vortex shedding. These dynamics vary significantly with changes in separation ratio and angle of attack, highlighting the critical influence of these parameters on the wake behavior and aerodynamic performance. The results are presented in a phase diagram, illustrating the evolution of wake patterns across different conditions. This research fills existing knowledge gaps by providing a detailed analysis of the wake dynamics behind elliptic cylinders at high Reynolds numbers, with potential applications in improving aerodynamic strategies in various engineering and sporting contexts.

Authors: Yang Haoliang , Zhu Jianan , Li Jiaqing
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Maritime Cruises Mini-Submarines (MCMS), a company based in Greece, aims to offer safe and deep-sea exploratory experiences to tourists. This paper discusses the primary challenges involved in ensuring tourist safety, particularly focusing on maintaining security in scenarios of mechanical failures or lost communication with the main vessel. We propose comprehensive safety protocols and technological solutions tailored for deep-sea tourist submersibles. The analysis begins with a detailed study of the forces acting on a submersible, considering both operational modes and the impact of ocean currents, utilizing a rigid-body coordinate system and Eulerian angular coordinate transformations to describe the submersibles motion comprehensively. We derive motion and safety parameters by solving the force differential equations, allowing the host ship to predict the submersibles position accurately. In addressing the recovery of lost submersibles, our approach evaluates power loss scenarios and search efficiency, recommending an optimal combination of hydroacoustic and frequency-hopping communication technologies for reliable, low-loss data transmission. We further enhance search methodologies by integrating motion parameters and ocean current dynamics to pinpoint probable locations, adjusting search strategies dynamically based on real-time data, and employing probabilistic models to optimize resource allocation during search operations. A case study in the Caribbean Sea exemplifies applying these methodologies, incorporating localized flow regimes and cooperative communication strategies among multiple submersibles to improve operational efficiency and safety.
Using numerical simulation methods to analyze the aerodynamic performance of racing tail fins under multiple factor conditions
Authors: Liu Weiyuan
Published: November 2024

Abstract. In high-speed ground racing cars, the aerodynamics of the tail wing are crucial as they directly affect the overall performance and results of the car. In the aerodynamic performance of the tail wing, down force and drag are the two most important parameters. In order to study the specific effects of factors such as racing speed, tail wing profile, and tail angle of attack on the aerodynamic performance of the tail wing, fluid dynamics numerical simulation methods were used for research.The research results indicate that within the parameter range of 160km/h to 240 km/h, both resistance and down force continuously increase with the increase of speed, and show a typical linear variation pattern. Within the range of 0 to 35 angle of attack, both drag and down force increase, but within 20 , the increase in down force is faster, and once it exceeds 20 , the increase in drag becomes more pronounced.At the same time, four different airfoil structures were compared and analyzed, and it was concluded that the NACA airfoil is more suitable for low-speed operating conditions, as it can generate higher down force at lower speeds. The research results of this article provide certain reference value for the design and finalization of racing tail fins.

Mental Health is a condition where an individual can develop physically, mentally, spiritually and socially so that the individual is aware of his or her own abilities, can handle pressure, can work productively, and is able to contribute to his or her community. Several factors cause mental disorders, namely a work environment with a high risk of violence, facing various types of stress and an uncomfortable workplace. Mental disorders can take the form of changes in the mental and emotional atmosphere which have an impact on physical disorders and are rarely recognized by sufferers, including nurses. Nursing is a profession that has a very high risk of stress, because nurses have very high duties and responsibilities for the safety of human life. The aim of the research is to determine the self-reporting of mental health of nurses at RSUD Dr. M.M Dunda Limboto, Gorontalo Regency. The research design is a descriptive design, with a sampling technique using non-probability sampling, namely snowball sampling. The sample in this study using the Slovin formula obtained 175 respondents. The results of this research showed that 131 respondents (74.9%) were not indicated, and 44 respondents were indicated (25.1%). The conclusion of this study shows that the majority of nurses at RSUD M.M. Dunda Limboto has no indication of a mental health disorder which is known from the Self Reporting Questionnaire assessment. It is hoped that nurses can maintain mental health by doing self-rewards to increase their capacity as nurses.

De sus respuestas iniciales se establecieron tres categorías: escenarios donde hay ciencia, finalidades y límites de la ciencia. En su reflexión final, tras un debate, se observó un aumento significativo en el número de respuestas, tanto en escenarios (entre los que destacan salud, tecnología, medio ambiente y alimentación) como en finalidades y límites vinculados con la participación de la ciencia en la vida de los ciudadanos. La incorporación de este tipo de actividades en la formación de maestros podría ayudar a mejorar la identificación de contextos sociocientíficos, siendo esta circunstancia un aspecto deseable dentro de su conocimiento didáctico del contenido (CDC).

The study determines the level of disaster risk reduction measures (DRRM) and disaster preparedness, as well as the significant relationship between the two variables in Cogon, San Antonio, and Toril elementary schools in Babak District. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed in this study. Data analysis involved the use of the weighted average mean and the Pearson Product- Moment Correlation Coefficient. A total of forty-five school heads and teachers respondents were selected through total population sampling. The findings of the study revealed that the levels of disaster risk reduction measures (DRRM) and disaster preparedness in the selected schools are very high, suggesting successful integration and implementation of DRRM strategies. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the two variables, indicating that increased implementation of disaster risk reduction measures (DRRM) corresponds to higher levels of disaster preparedness in the schools. Consequently, incorporating DRRM into school systems improves the readiness of school heads and teachers for unexpected disasters. The school heads and teachers possess more knowledge and skills to handle disasters, as they are responsible for guiding and protecting students during such events.

Introdução: A fibromialgia é uma condição crônica caracterizada por dor generalizada, fadiga e uma série de outros sintomas, impactando significativamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. A fisioterapia tem se mostrado uma abordagem promissora no manejo dessa condição, com várias intervenções sendo propostas e estudadas. Metodologia: A revisão sistemática incluiu 16 estudos relevantes, dos quais 6 foram selecionados para análise detalhada. Esses estudos variaram em metodologia, tamanho da amostra e técnicas terapêuticas, mas todos com foco em melhorar a função física e a qualidade de vida de pacientes com fibromialgia. As intervenções abordaram desde fisioterapia respiratória e técnicas de pressão expiratória positiva até exercícios físicos e resistência. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram uma melhora significativa na função física dos pacientes, com redução na intensidade da dor, na frequência de exacerbações e na necessidade de hospitalizações. Contudo, a eficácia das intervenções variou conforme a técnica utilizada e a adesão dos pacientes. Entre os estudos selecionados, um destacou a importância do treinamento de resistência, que melhorou não apenas a força muscular, mas também a saúde geral e a percepção da dor. Conclusão: Outros estudos evidenciaram o impacto positivo da educação em dor, do exercício físico e das abordagens multimodais que combinam terapia física com intervenções psicológicas. Os dados reforçam que a prática regular de atividades físicas, aliada a um suporte terapêutico adequado, pode beneficiar significativamente indivíduos com fibromialgia, promovendo não apenas a melhoria funcional, mas também o bem-estar emocional. A continuidade da pesquisa é crucial para determinar as intervenções mais eficazes e desenvolver protocolos que possam ser amplamente adotados na prática clínica, visando oferecer uma abordagem mais integrativa e personalizada para o tratamento da fibromialgia.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh apakah stunting berdampak terhadap prestasi belajar seorang anak. Karena perlunya bukti sebagai bahan edukasi bagi orangtua mengenai hubungan sebab akibat tersebut, agar mereka memiliki kesadaran lebih untuk memerhatikan kondisi gizi sang anak. Maka tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh stunting terhadap prestasi belajar seorang anak. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan Meta Analisis. Sebanyak 4 artikel/jurnal digunakan sebagai referensi data yang diinginkan. Dari hasil analisis yang telah dilakukan, sebanyak 4 artikel/jurnal digunakan memeroleh hasil bahwa anak-anak yang memiliki prestasi belajar yang rendah, kebanyakan dari mereka merupakan anak yang mengalami stunting. Sehingga dapat dipahami bahwa stunting dapat menurunkan kemampuan kognitif seseorang. Tingkat kemampuan kognitif erat kaitannya dengan prestasi belajar. Dengan menurunnya kemampuan kognitif, maka prestasi belajar pun menurun. Selain itu, stunting juga membuat seorang anak rentan terkena berbagai penyakit, sehingga memengaruhi kehadirannya dalam kegiatan pembelajaran dan menghambat proses belajarnya. Maka, berdasarkan perhitungan yang mereka lakukan, persentase kemungkinan seorang anak yang mengalami stunting memiliki pretasi belajar yang baik lebih kecil dibandingkan anak yang tidak mengalami stunting. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa, stunting dapat memengaruhi prestasi belajar seseorang.

As bebidas destiladas alcoólicas de uma forma geral, são preparadas a partir de diversas matérias-primas, muitas delas conferindo ao produto final características sensórias peculiares, como é o caso da cachaça feita de cana-de-açúcar. O município e Guarapuava no estado do Paraná é um grande produtor de pinhão e malte, tanto é verdade que foi considerada recentemente a capital nacional do malte. Com o principal objetivo de produção de uma bebida destilada com apelo regional, estudou-se a hidrólise do amido tanto do pinhão, quanto do malte para produção de açúcares fermentáveis e posterior produção de bebidas alcoólicas. Três metodologias de hidrólise foram utilizadas; 1) Ácida: utilizando diferentes concentrações de ácido fosfórico. 2) Enzimática: utilizando enzimas comerciais alfa-amilase. 3) Mistura de amidos de pinhão e malte: Sendo que o malte além de fornecer o amido, também contém naturalmente enzimas responsáveis pela hidrólise. Os melhores resultados foram obtidos com a hidrólise com alfa-amilase, e com uma mistura pinhão + malte contendo no mínimo 40% de malte em massa, ambas com mais de 80% de rendimento na produção de açúcares fermentáveis. A bebida destilada também passou por uma maturação nas próprias cascas de pinhão, resultando em uma bebida com coloração avermelhada e sabor amadeirado bastante peculiar e de grande potencial comercial. Na espectrometria de massas por “eletrospray”, o perfil espectrométrico mostrou uma mudança significativa na composição química das bebidas maturadas em cascas, com extração de grande quantidade de compostos fenólicos.
