Authors: Campos João Thiago de G. A. A. , Blumelova Jana , Lepikson Herman Augusto , Mendonça Freires Francisco Gaudencio 
Published: September 2020

Goal: This research provides specific solution for dynamic scheduling of product-driven production with unique level of detail and original architecture.
Design / Methodology / Approach: Design process of scheduling problem-solving MAS is divided into three steps: agent encapsulation of entities participating in scheduling, including concept of agents and responsibilities they assume, system architecture and topology of the agents network, detailed design of decision scheme of individual agents.
Results: Production processes take place in dynamic environment and have to react to numerous real-time events, hence reschedule the production by a new design and implement agent-based model in order to solve dynamic flexible job shop scheduling problem in product-driven production environment.
Limitations of the investigation: Designed model counts with simple agents behaving on condition-action rules. These agents could be replaced by more sophisticated types of agents such as utility-based or learning agents. Also the implemented coordination mechanism ensuring global view on the scheduling problem is rather simple.
Practical implications: Via simulations of realistic production scenarios it was expected to prove an applicability of specific solution of how bringing the intelligence to the lower levels of control system may be used in dynamic scheduling. Based on elaboration of theoretical basis, principles were identified as suitable or widely used in design of such model.
Originality / Value: This research provides specific real-time architecture for a multi-agents dynamic scheduling of product-driven production with unique level of detail and scenarios analysis.
Mechanical Circulatory Support to Treat Pulmonary Embolism: Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Right Ventricular Assist Devices
Authors: Bhalla Aneil , Attaran Robert 
Published: September 2020

Mechanical circulatory support may help patients with massive pulmonary embolism who are not candidates for systemic thrombolysis, pulmonary embolectomy, or catheter-directed therapy, or in whom these established interventions have failed. Little published literature covers this topic, which led us to compare outcomes of patients whose massive pulmonary embolism was managed with the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) or a right ventricular assist device (RVAD).
We searched the medical literature from January 1990 through September 2018 for reports of adults hospitalized for massive or high-risk pulmonary embolism complicated by hemodynamic instability, and who underwent VA-ECMO therapy or RVAD placement. Primary outcomes included weaning from mechanical circulatory support and discharge from the hospital. We found 16 reports that included 181 patients (164 VA-ECMO and 17 RVAD).
All RVAD recipients were successfully weaned from support, as were 122 (74%) of the VA-ECMO patients. Sixteen (94%) of the RVAD patients were discharged from the hospital, as were 120 (73%) of the VA-ECMO patients. Of note, the 8 RVAD patients who had an Impella RP System were all weaned and discharged.
For patients with massive pulmonary embolism who are not candidates for conventional interventions or whose conditions are refractory, mechanical circulatory support in the form of RVAD placement or ECMO may be considered. Larger comparative studies are needed.

Poverty arises when a person or group of people is unable to meet the level of economic prosperity which is considered a minimum requirement of a certain standard of living or poverty is understood as a state of lack of money and goods to ensure survival. Panel data regression is the development of regression analysis which is a combination of time series data and cross section data. Panel data regression is usually used to make observations of data that is examined continuously for several periods. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence the level of poverty in Madura Island in the period 2008 - 2017. In this study the variables used in this study are life expectancy (X1), average length of school (X2), level open unemployment (X3), and labor force participation (X4) with the Comman Effect Model (CEM) approach, Fixed Effect Model and Random Effect Model (REM). To choose the best model from the three is the chow test, the hausman test and the breusch-pagan test. In this study, the best model chosen was the Fixed Effect Model. Keywords: CEM, Fixed Effect Model, Data Panel Regression, REM, Poverty level.
Design of an aperture coupled MIMO antenna for on-body communication and performance enhancement with dielectric back reflector
Authors: Gupta Vipan Kumar , Gupta Ashima 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Compact antennas with robust on-body performance are achieving more interest for wearable sensor nodes. In this paper, a modified aperture coupled multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna operating at 2.45 GHz industrial scientific and medical (ISM) band is presented for wearable devices. 8-shaped radiator with L-shaped ground slot is used to miniaturize the antenna dimensions. A dielectric reflector is added below the antenna to reduce the back radiations towards the body tissue. On-body performance is analysed on three layered equivalent tissue phantom model. Antenna shows reflection coefficient of −40 dB, efficiency of 58% and directivity of 6.7 dBi when operated in close proximity of body tissue with dielectric reflector. unidirectional radiation pattern and low specific absorption rate makes antenna suitable for on-body communication. Further, diversity performance is measured in terms of envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) and diversity gain (DG). Value of ECC is 0.045 and DG is 9.7 dB at 2.45 GHz. Antenna robustness is examined by bending the structure along x-axis. Performance of the proposed structure makes it a suitable candidate for on-body communication.

AbstractAlthough some characteristics of incorporating verbs and non-incorporating verbs have been proposed in previous studies, little systematic cross-linguistic research has been done on restrictions on the types of verbs that incorporate nouns. Knowledge about possible verb-based restrictions on noun incorporation may, however, provide important insights for theoretical approaches to noun incorporation, in particular regarding the question to what extent incorporation is a lexical or a syntactic process, and whether and how languages may vary in this respect. This paper therefore investigates to what extent languages restrict noun incorporation to particular verbs and what types of restrictions appear to be relevant cross-linguistically. The study consists of two parts: an explorative typological survey based on descriptive sources of 50 incorporating languages, and a more detailed investigation of incorporating verbs in corpus data from a sample of eight languages, guided by a questionnaire. The results demonstrate that noun incorporation is indeed restricted in terms of which verbs allow this construction within and across languages. The likelihood that a verb can incorporate is partly determined by its degree of morphosyntactic transitivity, but the attested variation across verbs and across languages shows that purely lexical restrictions play an important role as well.

Abstract
This paper is related to the stochastic smoking model for the purpose of creating the effects of smoking that are not observed in deterministic form. First, formulation of the stochastic model is presented. Then the sufficient conditions for extinction and persistence are determined. Furthermore, the threshold of the proposed stochastic model is discussed, when noises are small or large. Finally, the numerical simulations are shown graphically with the software MATLAB.

AbstractDr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus Task Force coordinator, told NBC News on “Meet the Press” that “[T]he U.S. needs a ‘breakthrough’ in coronavirus testing to help screen Americans and get a more accurate picture of the virus’ spread.” We have been involved with biopathogen detection since the 2001 anthrax attacks and were the first to detect anthrax in real-time. A variation on the laser spectroscopic techniques we developed for the rapid detection of anthrax can be applied to detect the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2 virus). In addition to detecting a single virus, this technique allows us to read its surface protein structure. In particular, we have been conducting research based on a variety of quantum optical approaches aimed at improving our ability to detect Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) viral infection. Indeed, the detection of a small concentration of antibodies, after an infection has passed, is a challenging problem. Likewise, the early detection of disease, even before a detectible antibody population has been established, is very important. Our team is researching both aspects of this problem. The paper is written to stimulate the interest of both physical and biological scientists in this important problem. It is thus written as a combination of tutorial (review) and future work (preview). We join Prof. Federico Capasso and Editor Dennis Couwenberg in expressing our appreciation to all those working so heroically on all aspects of the COVID-19 problem. And we thank Drs. Capasso and Couwenberg for their invitation to write this paper.
Of Comics and Charisma: Representing Transpacific White Masculinities
Authors: Owens Christina D. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis article employs palimpsestuous reading practices to query the transpacific reach and imperial pedigree of the comic strip “Charisma Man.” Turning to Max Weber’s theory of “charismatic authority” to understand the comic’s humorous portrayals of white male heterosexual privilege in Asia, the article proposes that the comic strip illuminates the patterns of raced and gendered “hereditary charisma” that continue to haunt transpacific relations. “Charisma Man,” penned by a team of North American men living in Japan, links contemporary white migrants across Asia – especially native English teachers – with a longue durée of Euro-American imperial actors abroad and builds meaning through intertextual engagement with the iconic cultural textsSupermanandMadame Butterfly. The article concludes that “Charisma Man” makes light of white male hereditary charisma in Asia through a layering of temporally-disjointed transpacific discourses and, in turn, adds one more layer to a palimpsestuous sedimentation of sexist and racist hierarchies, normalizing their continuation within contemporary globalization.
How dimensional analysis allows to go beyond Metzner–Otto concept for non-Newtonian fluids
Authors: Delaplace Guillaume , Jeantet Romain , Grenville Richard , Cuvelier Gérard , Loubiere Karine 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
The concept of Metzner and Otto was initially developed for correlating power measurements in stirred vessels for shear-thinning fluids in the laminar regime with regard to those obtained for Newtonian liquids. To get this overlap, Metzner and Otto postulated and determined an “effective shear rate” which was proportional to the rotational speed of the impeller Although it was not based on a strong theoretical background, it was rapidly admitted as a practical engineering approach and was extended for seeking out a “Newtonian correspondence” with non-Newtonian results (i.e. different classes of fluids). This was applied in a variety of tank processes even for predicting heat transfer or mixing time, which stretches far away from the frame initially envisaged by Metzner and Otto themselves. This paper aimed to show how dimensional analysis offers a theoretically founded framework to address this issue without the experimental determination of effective quantities. This work also aimed to enlarge the underlying questions to any process in which a variable material property exists and impacts the process. For that purpose, the pending questions of Metzner and Otto concept were first reminded (i.e. dependence of the Metzner–Otto constant to rheological parameters, physical meaning of the effective shear rate, etc.). Then, the theoretical background underlying the dimensional analysis was described and applied to the case of variable material properties (including non-Newtonian fluids), by introducing in particular the concept of material similarity. Finally, two examples were proposed to demonstrate how the rigorous framework associated with the dimensional analysis is a powerful method to exceed the concept of Metzner and Otto and can be adapted beyond the Ostwald–de Waele power law model to a wide range of non-Newtonian fluids in various processes, without being restricted to batch reactor and laminar regime.
On the participatory agency of texts: Using institutional forms in performance appraisal interviews
Authors: Lehtinen Esa , Pälli Pekka 
Published: September 2020

AbstractDrawing on studies of the performative effects and agency of texts in organizations, the paper investigates how the agency of texts figures through their participatory status in interaction. The empirical data for the study consist of video-recorded performance appraisal interviews in a Finnish public organization in which the interaction relies heavily on an appraisal form. The data are analyzed through a sequential analysis that draws on multimodal conversation analysis and ethnographic knowledge. The analysis shows that the human participants orient to three different acts that are inscribed in the textual document: 1) presenting demands for the participants; 2) offering topics for the discussion as well as perspectives from which those topics should be discussed; and 3) suggesting conventional ways of progressing in the interaction. Furthermore, the material and the semiotic facets of textual documents are shown to be systematically related in that specific orientations to the material aspect of the paper form entail specific orientations to the semiotic content. The study sheds light on the subtle ways through which the distributed, albeit dissymmetric, agency of human and non-human participants is constructed, and on how texts are treated as more or less authoritative in face-to-face interaction.

Published: September 2020

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a novel 3D chaotic oscillator which shows megastability without any external excitation. Some important dynamical properties of the proposed novel system were derived and investigated. Data protection application and its security analysis were realized for electrophysiological signals such as ECG, EEG and EMG on a microcomputer. This paper includes both encryption and data hiding processes for high security. Also a user interface was developed. For the encryption process, random numbers were generated by the megastable chaotic oscillator. These random numbers were tested with NIST-800-22 test which is the most widely accepted statistical test suite. The encrypted electrophysiological signals were analyzed by entropy, differential attacks, histogram, correlation, initial condition sensitivity, etc. The results of the analysis have shown that the proposed two level security method can be used in many fields as mobile. The most important feature of this paper is that both encryption and data hiding processes were implemented for electrophysiological signals. The experimental results verify that the proposed method has high security and is suitable for the protection of vital electrophysiological signals.
Fabrication and Investigation of Mechanical and Dry Sliding Wear Characteristics of Al6061-Si3N4 Composites

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Aluminum based metal matrix composites (MMCs) are excellent grade engineering materials used in high-tech applications like aerospace, automotive, marine, and other applications, owing to their higher specific strength, better physical and mechanical characteristics, coupled with lower density, when compared with pure aluminum and its alloys. The present paper emphasizes experimental work that was carried out on the fabrication of Al6061 alloy reinforced with different weight percentages (wt%) of silicon nitride (Si3N4) MMCs. The vacuum-assisted stir casting technique was used to fabricate Al6061-Si3N4 composites. The wt% of Si3N4 reinforcement was varied from 0 to 6 wt% in steps of 2. The optical micrograph (OM), density, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and mechanical characteristics such as resistance to indentation, ultimate tensile strength, percentage elongation, and scanning electron micrographs of the composites before and after tensile and wear tests have been investigated. The tribological studies for the determination of wear properties of developed composites were carried out with respect to volumetric wear loss, sliding distance, and applied load, with increasing Si3N4 reinforcement content in Al6061 alloy. The density of Al6061-Si3N4 composites has improved with increased reinforcement content as compared to monolithic alloy. The OM and scanning electron micrographs reveal a uniform distribution of Si3N4 particulates in the matrix alloy. The mechanical properties along with the resistance to the wear property have improved, and there was a noteworthy loss in the ductility of Al6061-Si3N4 composites in comparison with Al6061 alloy.
Flexibility in Treatment: A Trial of Walking Psychotherapy
Authors: Schen Cathy R. 
Published: September 2020

Flexibility in the psychotherapeutic frame of treatment arises from many sources, from the general to the personal, and can take several forms. This article looks at walking while conducting psychotherapy with patients and explores the ways in which flexibility in treatment can enhance the alliance, how walking side by side brings the body into focus with its implications for transference and countertransference, and how associations to landscape evoke past memories and access emotions. Issues relating to self-disclosure and boundaries, as well as patient responses to the psychotherapist's personally driven request to consider walking during psychotherapy are addressed. Since writing this article, the coronavirus pandemic has swept across the world and required psychotherapists everywhere to bend the frame of treatment and meet with patients virtually—by phone or video conference—to maintain social distancing and prevent the spread of infection. The hardships posed by this shift in treatment frame combine with benefits not dissimilar to those found with psychotherapy while walking.
Scale-aware Auto-context-guided Fetal US Segmentation with Structured Random Forests

Published: September 2020

Abstract
Accurate measurement of fetal biometrics in ultrasound at different trimesters is essential in assisting clinicians to conduct pregnancy diagnosis. However, the accuracy of manual segmentation for measurement is highly user-dependent. Here, we design a general framework for automatically segmenting fetal anatomical structures in two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound (US) images and thus make objective biometric measurements available. We first introduce structured random forests (SRFs) as the core discriminative predictor to recognize the region of fetal anatomical structures with a primary classification map. The patch-wise joint labeling presented by SRFs has inherent advantages in identifying an ambiguous/fuzzy boundary and reconstructing incomplete anatomical boundary in US. Then, to get a more accurate and smooth classification map, a scale-aware auto-context model is injected to enhance the contour details of the classification map from various visual levels. Final segmentation can be obtained from the converged classification map with thresholding. Our framework is validated on two important biometric measurements, which are fetal head circumference (HC) and abdominal circumference (AC). The final results illustrate that our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of segmentation accuracy.
