Use of periodic trenches in SMR-type XBAR for suppression of transverse mode resonances and lateral leakage
Authors: Liu Yi-ming , Wu Zhao-hui , Yang Ying , Bao Jing-fu , Hashimoto Ken-ya
Published: January 2024

This paper discusses the use of periodic trenches to the top SiO2 layer of the Bragg reflector in solidly-mounted-resonator type laterally-excited-bulk-wave-resonators for the slowness manipulation to suppress both transverse mode resonances and lateral leakage. First, it is shown that the SAW slowness surface can be flattened by the application of periodic trenches, and this is owing to the coupling of the propagating SAW mode with resonances of periodic trench walls. It is also shown that flattening the SAW slowness surface enables us to suppress transverse mode resonances well. However, its impact on lateral leakage is not obvious. Then, the broadband piston mode design is applied, and its effectiveness is demonstrated for the suppression of both transverse mode resonances and lateral leakage. Deposition of a dielectric layer to the gap regions is also proposed as an alternative for leakage suppression, and it is shown that Si3N4 is appropriate as a dielectric material.
Effect of ultrasound attenuation on piezoelectric signal generation in cancellous bone
Authors: Hosokawa Atsushi
Published: January 2024

The piezoelectric signals generated in cancellous bone by ultrasound irradiation were numerically simulated using a piezoelectric finite-difference time-domain method. The changes of the piezoelectric signals with the cancellous bone thickness were investigated with the changes of the transmitted ultrasound signals. In the ultrasound direction of the strong trabecular orientation, two piezoelectric signals could be observed and was associated with the fast and slow waves in the ultrasound signal. The former wave amplitude did not vary with the thickness. The later wave amplitude randomly varied, but not significantly. In the ultrasound direction of the weak trabecular orientation, the piezoelectric signal due to the overlapped fast and slow waves and its multiple reflected wave could be observed. The former wave amplitude did not vary with the thickness. In both ultrasound directions, the local piezoelectric signal generated at the shallow depth of cancellous bone was dominant, which was because of the high ultrasound attenuation.

In this paper we show the relationship between global offensive alliance and dominant sets in the graphs and the random graphs. A global offensive alliance in a graph G=(V, E) is a subset S of V such that for every vertex v not in S at least half of the vertices in the closed neighborhood of v are in S and a dominating set for a graph G is a subset D of its vertices, such that any vertex of G is either in D, or has a neighbor in D.
Thermal performance estimation of a v-corrugated solar air heater using ann techniques
Authors: Hasan Mustafa Moayad , Hriczó Krisztián
Published: January 2024

A solar air heater (SAH) is a unique form of solar thermal collector that utilizes solar energy emitted from the sun to produce heated air. Various experimental and theoretical investigations have been undertaken to improve the poor thermal performance of SAHs. The difficulties related to these studies drew attention toward a reliable soft computing technique exemplified by the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique. The current work applied actual meteorological data from Miskolc City, Hungary, to an ANN model with the structure of a Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) to forecast the energy performance of a V-corrugated solar-powered air heater. Seven input parameters and one output parameter make up the ANN structure, with a single hidden layer. For the purpose of selecting the most effective network for predicting output parameters, ten neurons have been assessed. The suggested ANN model was trained with 336 data sets using the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) learning technique. The comparison of anticipated and real thermal performance values shows a very good agreement. The statistical error analysis showed that the optimal ANN model structure of 7-8-1 can reliably and accurately predict SAH’s thermal performance and thus it can save both time and cost.
An unusual case of low concentration mineral brines in the geothermal waters from Beiuș Basin (Northwestern Romania)
Authors: Balassa Csilla , Bordeianu Marian , Csicsák Pál , Tóth Márton , Németh Norbert
Published: January 2024

The aim of the BrineRIS project is to explore brines in RIS countries potential for critical metal extraction In the frame of this project the concentration of mineral brines in three geothermal wells located in the Beiuș Basin (northwestern Romania) was determined by analyzing the water from the wells. Until recently no reliable trace element data were available from Beiuș basin. Following the new analyses, the geothermal water extracted by TRANSGEX SA company from wells F-3001H, F-3003H, and F-3005H revealed exceptionally low concentrations of associated chemical compounds. The Li-concentration is only ~ 22 – 32 µg/l. Zn, I, Rb and As present in similar concentrations, while other trace elements (e.g. Co, V, Ti) are below detection limit. The Sr (~ 540 – 680 µg/l), Ba (~ 170 – 200 µg/l) and B (~ 70 – 100 µg/l) concentrations are slightly elevated, but still low. Therefore, the water in this "geothermal reservoir" can be classified as relatively potable, but it is not appropriate for critical metal extraction. In this paper, some documented concentrations from previous years have been compared to recent concentrations. In addition, the relationship between geology and water chemistry is emphasized in order to determine the reason for the absence of solutes that were expected to be found in this water.

Procesos migratorios femeninos internacionales en Andalucía
Authors: Terrón-Caro Teresa , Cárdenas-Rodríguez Rocío
Published: January 2024

La presente obra busca ofrecer una panorámica general de la situación de las mujeres migrantes en el sur de España, concretamente en Andalucía, como escenario fronterizo de entrada a España y Europa. De esta forma, las aportaciones que se realizan en estas páginas están relacionadas con la Estrategia Andaluza para la Inmigración 2021-2025: inclusión y convivencia, de la Junta de Andalucía, favoreciendo el desarrollo de políticas públicas que contribuyan a la integración e inclusión de la población migrante en Andalucía desde una perspectiva de género, así como la igualdad de derechos y oportunidades para alcanzar una sociedad cohesionada. Además, el libro presenta el hecho social migratorio desde una perspectiva de género, recogiendo las experiencias migratorias de las mujeres. En este sentido, según la Organización para las Migraciones (2023), las mujeres representan aproximadamente la mitad de esta población, por lo que la perspectiva de género debe estar presente en el análisis de este fenómeno social. A su vez, el género es uno de los factores que más repercusión tiene en las experiencias migratorias, y debe ser tenido en cuenta en la formulación de estrategias que favorezcan el empoderamiento social y económico de las mujeres migrantes, pues, de lo contrario, estas personas se exponen a mayores riesgos y vulnerabilidad. Esta obra colectiva aporta elementos necesarios para seguir construyendo sociedades democráticas e igualitarias que favorezcan la participación social de las personas migrantes en general y de las mujeres migrantes en particular, aunque los factores que intervienen son tan diversos, variados y experienciales que es preciso seguir avanzando en distintas propuestas de investigación y aportaciones teóricas que nos ayuden a comprender las diversas realidades, así como a luchar contra las desigualdades y la discriminación social.

Winter Arctic Sea Ice Surface Form Drag During 1999-2021: Satellite Retrieval and Spatiotemporal Variability
Authors: Zhang Zhilun , Hui Fengming , Shokr Mohammed , Granskog Mats A. , Cheng Bin , Vihma Timo , Cheng Xiao
Published: January 2024

The neutral form drag coefficient is an important parameter when
estimating surface turbulent fluxes over Arctic sea ice. The form drag
caused by surface features (𝑪) dominates the total
drag in the winter, but long-term pan-Arctic records of
𝑪 are still lacking for Arctic sea ice. In this
study, we first developed an improved surface feature detection
algorithm and characterized the surface features (including height and
spacing) over Arctic sea ice during the late winter of 2009-2019 using
the full-scan laser altimeter data obtained in the Operation IceBridge
mission. 𝑪 was then estimated using an existing
parameterization scheme. This was followed by applying a
satellite-derived backscatter coefficient
(𝝈 ) to 𝑪
regression model to extrapolate, for the first time,
𝑪 to the pan-Arctic scale for the entire winter
season over two decades (from 1999 to 2021). We found that the surface
features have a larger height and smaller spacing over multi-year ice
(1.15 ± 0.21 m and 142 ± 49 m) than over first-year ice (0.90 ± 0.16 m
and 241 ± 129 m). The monthly mean 𝑪 increases
through the winter, from 0.2 × 10 −3 in November to 0.4-0.5 × 10 −3 in
April. The central Arctic has the largest 𝑪 (up to
2 × 10 −3), but experienced a drop of ~50% in the
period from 2001/2002 to 2008/2009. The interannual fluctuations in
𝑪 are strongly linked to the variability of sea ice
thickness and deformation, and the latter has become increasingly
important for 𝑪 since 2009.

Towards an Unsupervised Federated Learning Approach for Speaker Diarization on IoT-style Audio Devices
Authors: Bhuyan Amit Kumar , Dutta Hrishikesh , Biswas Subir
Published: January 2024

This paper presents a computationally efficient and distributed speaker diarization framework suitable for a network of IoT-style audio devices. This work proposes a Federated Learning based speaker identification model which can identify the participants in a conversation without the requirement of a large audio database for training. An unsupervised online update mechanism is proposed for the Federated Learning model which depends on cosine similarity of speaker embeddings. Moreover, the proposed diarization system solves the problem of speaker change detection via. unsupervised segmentation techniques using Hotelling’s tsquared Statistic and Bayesian Information Criterion. In this new approach, speaker change detection is biased around detected quasi-silences, which reduces the severity of the tradeoff between the missed detection and false detection rates. Additionally, the computational overhead due to frame-byframe identification of speakers is reduced via. unsupervised clustering of speech segments. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed training method in the presence of non-IID speech data. It also shows a considerable improvement in the reduction of false and missed detection at the segmentation stage while reducing the computational overhead. Improved accuracy and reduced computational cost of the proposed mechanism makes it appropriate for real-time speaker diarization, especially for a distributed IoT network.
Model predictive path-following framework for generalised N-trailer vehicles in the presence of dynamic obstacles modelled as soft constraints
Authors: Deniz Nestor Nahuel , Jorquera Franco , Cheein Fernando Auat
Published: January 2024

Effective obstacle detection and avoidance play pivotal roles in the
implementation of autonomous navigation systems. While numerous authors
have addressed obstacle avoidance for single unicycles and car-like
vehicles, this work extends the scope to encompass generalised N-trailer
vehicles, consisting of a single active segment pulling an arbitrary
number of trailers. In contrast to treating obstacles as hard
constraints or barrier functions, we introduce a unique approach by
modelling them as soft constraints. Gaussian functions are seamlessly
integrated into the objective function of the model predictive
controller, preserving the convexity of the search space and
significantly alleviating computational demands. Although this strategy
allows regions occupied by obstacles to remain viable for navigation, we
counteract this by thoughtfully designing the amplitude of the Gaussian
function. This design is influenced by various components within the
formulation, discouraging navigation through obstacle-occupied spaces.
The effectiveness of this approach is substantiated through a series of
simulated and field experiments involving a tractor pulling two
trailers. These experiments showcase the method’s proficiency in
navigating around obstacles while maintaining computational efficiency,
thereby affirming its practical viability in real-world scenarios.
A Free-Form Filtering Magneto-Electric Dipole Antenna with More Than One Hundred Tunning Parameters to Achieve a High Suppression Level
Authors: Ruan Xuexuan , Chan Chi Hou
Published: January 2024

The traditional approach to designing filtering antennas involves
conducting numerous simulations, which consumes a significant amount of
time and computational resources, demanding a high level of expertise.
This paper presents a novel approach to designing filtering antennas
using the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). Firstly, a structure with free-form
metal patterns is constructed to fulfill the filtering function
requirements. Next, the GWO is employed to optimize the parameters of
the free-form metal pattern. Finally, the optimized metal pattern is
integrated into the final antenna structure. The key to this approach
lies in the fitness function enabling the GWO to evaluate the filtering
response automatically. This method streamlines and automates the
development of filtering antennas, making it possible to design them
without prior knowledge of filtering principles. To validate our
approach, we applied it to design a filtering magneto-electric dipole
(ME-dipole) antenna, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability.

A obesidade em crianças é uma condição de saúde que acarreta sérias repercussões, incluindo a diminuição da estatura, dislipidemia, problemas cardiovasculares e respiratórios, entre outros. Considerando a relevância do acompanhamento nutricional durante a infância para monitorar e identificar precocemente fatores que influenciam o estado nutricional das crianças, este estudo tem como objetivo descrever o estado nutricional de crianças acompanhadas pela atenção primária visando identificar a prevalência da obesidade infantil na região sudeste do Brasil, no ano de 2022. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo, ecológico e quantitativo de dados obtidos por meio de relatórios públicos do Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (SISVAN), sendo consideradas as variáveis: fase da vida "criança", idade "0 a < 5 anos", região “sudeste”. Para este estudo considerou-se a avaliação por meio do Índice de Massa Corporal para Idade (IMC/I). Foram avaliadas 1.963.863 crianças menores de cinco anos de idade acompanhadas pelo SISVAN no ano de 2022. Destas, 597.531 crianças possuiam excesso de peso. Observou que São Paulo possui a maior porcentagem de risco de sobrepeso (19,1%), o Rio de Janeiro possui a maior taxa de sobrepeso e obesidade, 7.7% e 6.6%, respectivamente. A razão principal que justifica os casos de excesso de peso entre as crianças, reside no desequilíbrio entre a ingestão e o gasto de calorias, frequentemente originado por padrões alimentares inadequados, incluindo o consumo de alimentos altamente calóricos e ricos em gordura, associados à falta de atividade física ou ao sedentarismo. Essa situação demanda a implementação de programas efetivos de educação alimentar, incentivo à prática de atividades físicas e campanhas de conscientização em nível nacional.

P-Y Lateral Pile Analyses Accounting for Arbitrary Loading Directions and Calibration Uncertainty
Authors: McCarron W.O.
Published: January 2024

A bounding surface plasticity p-y model accommodating pile lateral loading in arbitrary directions with respect to the pile axis is demonstrated via back-analysis of test piles. The demonstration analyses include: planar conditions, three-dimensional conditions with asymmetric cyclic loading, and Monte Carlo investigations of the influence of calibration choices. The p‑y model and its host finite element program are implemented in the MATLAB programing environment. Monte Carlo simulations investigating modelling uncertainty are accomplished efficiently when taking advantage of MATLAB’s parallel processing capability. Analysis results are compared to those observed for nine test piles at the Cowden site with diameters 0.272 m, 0.762 m and 2 m having length-to-diameter ratios between 3 and 10. The implemented p-y model is based upon and is a natural extension of the traditional API methodology. The modelling technique accurately reproduces the observed response characteristics of piles in a challenging soil profile with considerable uncertainty in its strength characteristics. It is robust, theoretically rigorous, efficient and requires the same level of effort as traditional p-y analyses. The results are easily interpreted by designers familiar with the p-y method. The characteristic responses of the p-y model under biaxial loading compare favorably to those from finite element elastic-plastic planar continuum analyses as well as small-scale physical tests on rigid piles.

The sidetracking is currently one of the main solutions for the rehabilitation of inactive, and increasing the productivity of depleted wells. It is necessary for the oil and gas fields of Azerbaijan. Thus, there are idle or low-debit wells in all developed fields. The main reason to remove these wells from the producing well stock is progressive weakening of productive layer. The sidetracking is one of the important methods to increase the productivity of a collector as the great majority of the fields is in the last stage of operation. The number of the sidetracked wells will gradually increase in the future. There is a lack of the general classification of the methods of sidetracking for these wells. The paper reviews the main benefits and drawbacks of the sidetracking, and an algorithm for selection of the method of sidetracking based on the bottomhole characteristics as well.

The laboratory studies have been carried out with KD-7 agents developed by the Institute and currently applied in the fields against salt deposition in the systems of production, refining, transportation and storage, and with foreign “Randim-4021” and domestic “VFIKS-82” agents as well. In the course of the studies, the superiority of the locally produced KD-7 agent over other ones has been justified by laboratory tests. This agent not only eliminates salt deposits in the pipes of the pump compressor, but also cleans the bottomhole zone, improves the productivity of the well, provides cleaning of reservoirs from bottom sediments.
“To Turn the Printed Word into a Powerful Ally...”: The Project of Prime Minister I.L. Goremykin on the Transformation of Military Censorship (1915)
Authors:   Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences RAS, Bogomolov Igor’ K.
Published: January 2024

This article for the first time presents a report to Nicholas II compiled by Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Empire I.L. Goremykin and his letter to Minister of War A.A. Polivanov. Both documents date back to December 1915, a period of relative political and military tranquility in the country after the Great Retreat in the summer of 1915, when the press widely and sharply criticized the government for failures to supply the army and the home front. Seeing it as an attempt to shake the foundations of the state and resume the struggle for power, Goremykin, having enlisted the support of both the majority of the Council of Ministers and the tsar, launched in September 1915 a “counterattack” on the press. The “quiet” opposition was made up of the War Ministry and, in part, the Stavka of the Supreme Commander, who were unwilling to interfere in the political struggle through military censorship. During September–December, Goremykin prepared a report to Nicholas II suggesting a significant expansion of the censors’ powers, primarily in terms of inspecting the materials of newspapers and magazines. Essentially, this implied recreating the precensorship of the press, which had existed before 1905, but already had broader powers and greater freedom of action. Having received the approval of Nicholas II, the prime minister presented his plan to Polivanov. The latter, however, took his time and produced a reply when Goremykin had already been dismissed. In the new conditions, Goremykin’s project was not fully implemented. Military censorship was tightened, however inconsistently and selectively, which not only failed to calm the press, but, instead, increased the irritation and discontent within society as a whole.
Ideological Oikonym Variants in the History of Ethnic Communities

Throughout the existence of humankind, toponyms, including oikonyms, have occupied a special place in society. Changes of territorial, political and ideological nature affect both naming and renaming. It is pointed out that in the Russian language, along with renaming other terms are used to describe the process of name changing, such as secondary nomination and renomination. A characteristic feature of oikonyms is national-cultural markedness, which can manifest itself in a linguistic culture as a result of the introduction of ideological oikonym variants, reflecting certain political events in the country associated with the erasure or perpetuation of the names of certain political leaders. The paper analyses the ideological oikonym variants that existed in Russia as well in the former Soviet republics and East Germany in the 20th century. The author identifies three stages of the introduction of oikonym variants in Russia: 1) elimination of the vocabulary of “tsarist autocracy”; 2) perpetuation of the names of Soviet political leaders; 3) desovietization of oikonyms. In the post-Soviet states and on the territory of the former German Democratic Republic, oikonym variants of the second and third stages were introduced in a similar way to those in Russia. The author comes to the conclusion that, as a rule, ideological oikonym variants reflect contrasting political regimes. Societal changes affect the life of an individual and society as a whole. As a consequence, new lexical units appear and get established in a language as witnesses of time. Oikonyms play an important part in preserving the historical and cultural memory of ethnic communities, since they contain not only purely linguistic, but also extensive country-specific information. Political changes are reflected in the toponymy policy, which is closely linked with other policies, such as ideological, linguistic, national, etc.

Published: January 2024

Three-dimensional printing technology has evolved rapidly, being widely spread throughout the world and used in various fields such as design, engineering, medicine, and dentistry, among others. However, it is still little used in research and clinical practice in occupational therapy. A report is presented on the use of three-dimensional printing and open source platforms in clinical practice, based on experience in research and extension activity developed by the Laboratory for Research in Neuropediatrics, Technology and Inclusion (LINTI), which aims to provide an assistive product made in 3D printing to patients treated in the Supervised Internship in Occupational Therapy services that take place at the Specialized Rehabilitation Center (CER II). The actions are developed in four stages: 1- identification of the need; 2 - problem analysis and specification of the open source product;3 – 3D printing production; 4- user assistive product validation tests. This project has highlighted the possibility of creating functional, accessible assistive products, with desired aesthetics, and above all, with modification alternatives and adjustments for the user. 3D printing technology and open source platforms can be applicable and innovative tools in the practice of occupational therapists working in assistive technology.
Brain connectivity patterns associated with individual differences in the access to experience-near personal semantics: a resting-state fMRI study
Authors: Teghil Alice , Boccia Maddalena
Published: January 2024

It has been proposed that a continuum of specificity exists between episodic and semantic autobiographical memory. Personal semantics have been theorized to situate intermediately on this continuum, with more “experience-near” personal semantics (enPS) closer to the episodic end. We used individual differences in behavior as a model to investigate brain networks associated with the access to episodic autobiographical (EAM) and enPS information, assessing the relation between performance in the EAM and enPS conditions of the Autobiographical Fluency Task (AFT) and intrinsic brain connectivity. Results of an intrinsic connectivity contrast analysis showed that the global connectivity of two clusters in the left and right posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) was predicted by performance in the enPS conditions. Moreover, enPS scores predicted the connectivity strength of the right PCC with the bilateral anterior hippocampus (aHC), anterior middle temporal gyrus (aMTG) and medial orbitofrontal cortex, and the left aMTG and PCC. enPS scores also predicted the connectivity strength of the left PCC with the bilateral HC and MTG. The network highlighted involves parts of the core and of the dorsal medial subsystems of the Default Mode Network, in line with the proposal that enPS represents an intermediate entity between episodic and semantic memory.
