Interior PM Motor Torque Control and Performance Analysis Considering Saturation and Cross Magnetization Effects for Electric Traction
Authors: Sarigiannidis Athanasios G. , Kladas Antonios G.
Published: May 2016

In this paper, a detailed analysis over a reference electric vehicle’s drive cycle of an interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) is implemented, in terms of motor performance, efficiency and field weakening capability. Initially, the electromagnetic field characteristics of a geometrically optimized IPMSM are investigated for various modes of operation by using a 2-D Finite Element (FE) model. In a next step, a robust hybrid torque control model, combining direct Maximum Torque per Ampere (MTPA) control, for constant torque operation and Voltage Constraint Tracking (VCT), for Field Weakening (FW) operation is developed. For proper IPMSM control, the proposed model considers motor magnetic saturation and cross coupling effects between direct (d) and quadrature (q) axes, including the inductance variation with both d and q axes current. Finally, the effectiveness of the control model has been validated through New European Drive Cycle (NEDC) operation for the investigated vehicle.

Influence of heat index on regional mortality in Europe
Authors: Lee Daniel , Brenner Thomas
Published: May 2016

Abstract. Numerous studies of single locations have shown that high perceived temperatures have negative health consequences – including higher mortality – for humans. Others have confirmed that the frequency of such dangerous heat events will increase in the future. This study extends these insights by examining the relationship between heat index, a measure of the physiological effects of heat, and mortality for a large area (Europe) on a regional scale. The results show that, in Europe as a whole, the heat index has a significant influence on mortality. Furthermore, this influence is heterogeneously distributed throughout different regions in Europe. In light of Europe's changing climate, this knowledge can serve as a basis for policies to mitigate the effects of heat waves in the future.

Authors: Vanegas Sevilla Ernesto , Bermúdez Vargas Yahaira , López Mairena Luis Antonio
Published: May 2016

Esta investigación ha evidenciado la importancia que tienen las estrategias metodológicas en el proceso educativo en las aplicaciones de las derivadas en la carrera de Ingeniería Agroforestal, pretendiendo que los discentes desarrollen autonomía para enriquecer su conocimiento y un aprendizaje significativo, forjar consciencia sobre la importancia que tiene la implementación de los softwares en las aplicaciones matemáticas.El enfoque mixto permitió enriquecer los datos cuantitativos con la información cualitativa admitiendo la recolección, análisis y vinculación de los indicadores. La población fue conformada por 58 estudiantes de Ingeniería Agroforestal  de los recintos de URACCAN Bluefields y Siuna (Las Minas), considerando como muestra a toda población, debido a que es muy pequeña al aplicar la fórmula triola para el cálculo de la muestra de una población finita con un margen de error del 1%  y un nivel de confianza del 95%. El estudio determinó que la mayor dificultad es que los  estudiantes no traen un dominio pleno de la Matemática (álgebra y geometría), razón por cual se les dificulta la comprensión y resolución de las derivadas.
La relación entre algunos modelos de participación popular ruso, cubano y venezolano
Authors: Pinho De Oliveira María
Published: May 2016

La investigación tuvo como objetivo presentar un estudio histórico comparativo sobre la forma de participación protagónica de la sociedad como parte de un modelo de gestión dentro de la sociedad y vinculada con el Estado. En Venezuela se crearon los Consejos Comunales y se le dio rango legal con una ley publicada en 2006; pero, este estudio ha indagado sus orígenes históricos, tomándose la figura de los Soviets de Rusia y los Consejos Populares de Cuba como antecedentes de su creación en Venezuela. El enfoque metodológico fue documental. En conclusión, los soviets, surgieron espontáneamente entre los obreros en huelga durante 1905, como órganos de coordinación de la lucha gremial (comisiones obreras)  por fábricas, encargadas de dirigir la huelga; los Consejos Populares de Cuba actúan como figuras fiscalizadoras y como piezas importantes en la participación de la comunidad en la solución de sus problemas, y los Consejos Comunales de Venezuela son órganos de participación que realizan y promueven la realización de actividades de interés general comunitario, llegando algunos a administrar recursos públicos, estando obligados a llevar registros y a rendir cuentas de ese manejo del patrimonio público.

Published: May 2016

The aim of this study was to compare the skills of mindfulness, metacognitive beliefs and perceived stress in hypertension patients and control group. The study was a causal-comparative one. The population included all patients with high blood pressure who were admitted in Isfahan Cardiovascular Research Institute in 2014, 90 of which were selected by purposive sampling. Research instruments include: Kentucky's mindfulness skills (Baer, Smith, & Allen, 2004), metacognitive beliefs questionnaire (Welles, 1997) and questionnaire perceived stress (Cohen & Kamarck, 1983). Of all the questionnaires returned, 80 were fully completed and therefore analyzed. Data were analyzed using a t-test and multivariate analysis of variance. Results showed that there is a difference between mindfulness skills and beliefs of people with hypertension and control group. Moreover, the results showed that there isn’t any meaningful difference between the perceived stress in patients with hypertension and control group. It can be said that mindfulness skills, metacognitive beliefs and perceived stress can help us to understand the psychological issues of patients with high blood pressure better.

A nonstationary bias‐correction technique to remove bias in GCM simulations
Authors: Miao Chiyuan , Su Lu , Sun Qiaohong , Duan Qingyun
Published: May 2016

We developed an updated nonstationary bias‐correction method for a monthly global climate model of temperature and precipitation. The proposed method combines two widely used quantile mapping bias‐correction methods to eliminate potential illogical values of the variable. Instead of empirical parameter estimation in the more‐common quantile mapping method, our study compared bias‐correction performance when parametric or nonparametric procedures were used to estimate the probability distribution. The results showed our proposed bias‐correction method to be very effective in reducing the model bias: it removed over 80% and 83% of model bias for surface air temperature and precipitation, respectively, during the validation period. Compared with a widely used method of bias correction (delta change), our proposed technique demonstrates improved correction of the distribution of variables. In addition, nonparametric estimation procedures further reduced the mean absolute errors in temperature and precipitation during the validation period by approximately 2% and 0.4%, respectively, compared with parametric procedures. The proposed method can remove over 40% and 60% of the uncertainty from model temperature and precipitation projections, respectively, at the global land scale.
An exact modelling of the uniform control traffic delay in undersaturated signalized intersections
Authors: Fawaz Wissam , El Khoury John
Published: May 2016

The average delay experienced by vehicles at a signalized intersection defines the level of service (LOS) at which the intersection operates. A major challenge in this regard is the ability to accurately estimate all the components underlying the overall control delay, including the uniform, incremental and initial queue delays. This paper tackles this challenging task by proposing a novel exact model of the uniform control delay component with a view to enhancing the accuracy of the existing approximate models, notably, the one reported in the Highway Capacity Manual 2010. Both graphical and analytical proofs are employed to derive exact closed‐form expressions for the uniform control delay at undersaturated signalized intersections.

The high degree of accuracy of the proposed models is analysed through extensive simulations to demonstrate their abilities to exactly characterize the performance of real‐life intersections in terms of the resulting vehicle delay. Unlike the existing widely adopted uniform delay models, which tend to overestimate the LOS of real‐life intersections, the delay models introduced in this paper have the merit of exactly capturing such a LOS.

Synthesis and application of thiol‐functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for studying interactions of epirubicin hydrochloride with bovine serum albumin by fluorescence spectrometry
Authors: Xiong Huixia , Diao Quanping , Jin Rui , Song Daqian , Wang Xinghua , Sun Ying
Published: May 2016

A novel method was developed for studying the interaction between epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) by fluorescence spectrometry. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized and functionalized with thiol group were employed for the immobilization and separation of target BSA in reaction solutions. The concentrations of the non‐immobilized BSA and unbound EPI were obtained separately by fluorescence spectrometry. The binding constants (Ka) and number of binding sites (n) of EPI with BSA were calculated. In this study, the Ka value was 5.05 × 105 L mol−1, suggesting a strong binding of EPI to BSA, and the n value was 1.15. The effects of common metal ions on Ka of EPI with BSA were also investigated, and the results showed there was clearly bindings between the metal ions and BSA. The precise binding sites of EPI on BSA were determined as being in site I from the competitive displacement experiments. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Biochemical and Molecular Modeling Studies of the Interaction between Human CEP55 and TEX14
Authors: Kim Hee Jung , Kim Hyunook , Chang Rakwoo , Yu Yeon Gyu , Lee Hyung Ho
Published: May 2016

To arrest the normal cell abscission in mammalian cells, testis‐expressed gene 14 (TEX14) competitively binds to the midbody protein centrosomal protein 55 kDa (CEP55). To gain further insights into the interactions between CEP55 and TEX14 (or ALIX), we performed molecular modeling studies. Molecular dynamics simulation indicated that CEP55‐EABR (ESCRT and ALIX‐binding region) formed a stable coiled coil in the absence of TEX14 (or ALIX) peptides. We also identified interaction sites between CEP55‐EABR and TEX14 (or ALIX) responsible for the stability of the complex by calculating H‐bonding and van der Waals interaction maps. Biochemical studies also suggested that CEP55 (residues 230–464) forms an elongated coiled coil. The overall architecture of CEP55 and detailed analyses of the interactions between CEP55‐EABR and TEX14 (or ALIX) gives more specific atomistic details about interactions between CEP55 and TEX14 (or ALIX), which is not easy to identify in experiments.

Published: May 2016

A series of anchor‐functionalized cyclometalated bis(tridentate) ruthenium(II) triarylamine hybrids [Ru(dbp‐X)(tctpy)]2− [2 a]2−–[2 c]2− (H3tctpy=2,2′;6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐4,4′,4′′‐tricarboxylic acid; dpbH=1,3‐dipyridylbenzene; X=N(4‐C6H4OMe)2 ([2 a]2−), NPh2 ([2 b]2−), N‐carbazolyl [2 c]2−) was synthesized and characterized. All complexes show broad absorption bands in the range 300–700 nm with a maximum at about 545 nm. Methyl esters [Ru(Me3tctpy)(dpb‐X)]+ [1 a]+–[1 c]+ are oxidized to the strongly coupled mixed‐valent species [1 a]2+–[1 c]2+ and the RuIII(aminium) complexes [1 a]3+–[1 c]3+ at comparably low oxidation potentials. Theoretical calculations suggest an increasing spin delocalization between the metal center and the triarylamine unit in the order [1 a]2+<[1 b]2+<[1 c]2+. Solar cells were prepared with the saponified complexes [2 a]2−–[2 c]2− and the reference dye N719 as sensitizers using the I3−/I− couple and [Co(bpy)3]3+/2+ and [Co(ddpd)2]3+/2+ couples as [B(C6F5)4]− salts as electrolytes (bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine; ddpd=N,N′‐dimethyl‐N,N′‐dipyridin‐2‐yl‐pyridine‐2,6‐diamine). Cells with [2 c]2− and I3−/I− electrolyte perform similarly to cells with N719. In the presence of cobalt electrolytes, all efficiencies are reduced, yet under these conditions [2 c]2− outperforms N719.
