Implementation of LDN to MLI and RSC-MLI configurations with a simple carrier-based modulation
Authors: Sathyavani B , Tara Kalyani S 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The design of multilevel inverters (MLI) and reduced switch count (RSC) MLIs majorly depend on the requirements of desired output voltage levels, number of dc sources switching devices, and their ratings. With regard to these requirements ‘Level Doubling Network (LDN)’ configuration is introduced. LDN has the ability to double the output voltage levels of any MLI or RSC-MLI, preserving inverter modularity. However, the implementation of LDN to MLI or RSC-MLI is not unified and varies with switching operations. Thus, this work presents the implementation of LDN to popular MLI and RSC-MLI configurations and further presents a brief comparison on theswitch count, number of levels, and harmonic performance for both LDN and non-LDN cases. Further, a generalized carrier-based PWM scheme is presented to implement the LDN for any MLI and RSC-MLI configurations irrespective of voltage levels, dc-voltage ratios, and topological configuration. The performance of the inverter and the proposed modulation scheme are validated on MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Abstract
In this paper, we are used routine three term PID controller, fuzzy PID controller and FPI plus FPD controllers to test the performance characteristics of DC servo motor, modulus non-linear systems and square root nonlinear systems in MATLAB SIMULINK environment. We have developed analytical structures for fuzzy PID and FPI plus FPD controllers with the help of fuzzification, knowledge rule base and defuzzification methods. Simulation results are carried out and show the advancement of fuzzy controllers over conventional controllers in specificatons of rise time, delay time and settling time for DC servo motor, modulus and square root types of non-linear systems. Out of these three types of controllers, the experimental results conclude that the combination of FPI plus FPD controller gives the better results.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
As Electrical equipments are more sensible, it has to protect them from high current, short circuit occurance. For tripping, fuse, relays and circuit breakers are employed to safeguard the power system components and circuits as well. Due to existence of sensitive components, much attention is taken to care about the protecting system. This paper explains the protection of equipments using suitable circuit breaker. Ultra fast acting electronic circuit breaker(UFECB) is designed to act as an over current protection device. Circuit breakers like fuse or miniature breakers are preferred for breaking the circuit once short circuit is occurred. In case, when overload fault occurs, the time of tripping is slow and which depends on percentage of overload. For instant fault clearance, tripping mechanism is activated for sensitive loads[1]. Time taken for the tripping mechanism is also considered in a great manner for breaking and making the circuit at short instant.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
The E-brainstorming system involves piggy bagging of ideas which results in more idea generation by the agents.Triggering of an idea for one participants happens from another participants, which will help the participants with the new idea. But with ordinary search and retrieval methods only few ideas are generated when compared with E-brainstorming method. More agents’ participation in E-brainstorming results in more ideas generation. The effect of combined participation of two or more agents is more than the sum of the effect of individual agents. The main goal of the project is to build an E-Brainstorming system where the agents represent the session participants and to build a idea evaluation system which is not domain specific. The E-brainstorming system is built so that it can be used both by the facilitator and the ordinary user who don’t have knowledge about the domain. The input idea given to the system is a sentence and the system solves the problem of input idea being a simple keyword or term.

Slope Stability in Rainfall Induced Landslided Area In Tirumala Hills By-Geotechnical Investigation
Authors: Sumanth Reddy G. , Needhidasan Dr.S. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Landslides are the sudden events which results in loss of both human and environmental life. It mainly happens due to the rainfall occurred in soil instable areas. If the rainwater passes into the pores of soil in slope areas then the soil transforms as slurry or muddy and the runoff takes place along with soil. So landslide will occurs accordingly in hill down areas. The soil samples will be collected at five successive selected locations where the slide occurred. The slope stability of the soil in landslide area can be tested and Factor of safety will be calculated. If the factor of safety will be less than 1, then the soil will be susceptible for instability. If the FOS will be greater than 1, then the soil will be stable under saturated conditions. Generally landslides are common in Tirumala hills. This paper explains about the nature of soil and properties of land erupted soil in Tirumala ghat road.
An Important Afro-Asian Biological Control Agent, Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), Invades the New World

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Climates around the world are rapidly turning warmer and often drier. Agricultural approaches must change accordingly. One important global practice is commercial use of cryptic species of the Chrysoperla carnea-group of green lacewings to control arthropod pests. Recently, one highly drought-tolerant species, originally present only in the Old World, is suspected of expanding its range to some of the driest habitats in the New World. Here we examine putative specimens of this species, Chrysoperla zastrowi (Esben-Petersen, 1928), collected in the desert southwest of the United States, the parched northwest of Mexico, and Guatemala. Using species-specific vibrational duetting-song phenotypes, subtle morphological character states, and mitochondrial DNA sequences, we confirm that C. zastrowi is now a naturalized part of the lacewing fauna of the Americas, making it the only species of the carnea-group to have a truly global range. As such, we encourage its broader commercial use for pest control on irrigated agricultural systems in the hotter, drier regions of the world to which it is best adapted and within which it now appears to be fully naturalized. We briefly consider future range expansion of both subspecies of C. zastrowi, C. z. zastrowi, and C. z. sillemi, in response to continued global warming.
Igf3 is essential for ovary differentiation in zebrafish†

Published: December 2020

AbstractZebrafish gonadal sexual differentiation is an important but poorly understood subject. Previously, we have identified a novel insulin-like growth factor (Igf) named insulin-like growth factor 3 (Igf3) in teleosts. The importance of Igf3 in oocyte maturation and ovulation has been recently demonstrated by us in zebrafish. In this study, we have further found the essential role of Igf3 in gonadal sexual differentiation of zebrafish. A differential expression pattern of igf3 between ovary and testis during sex differentiation (higher level in ovary than in testis) was found in zebrafish. An igf3 knockout zebrafish line was established using TALENs-mediated gene knockout technique. Intriguingly, all igf3 homozygous mutants were males due to the female-to-male sex reversal occurred during sex differentiation. Further analysis showed that Igf3 did not seem to affect the formation of so-called juvenile ovary and oocyte-like germ cells. Oocyte development was arrested at primary growth stage, and the ovary was gradually sex-reversed to testis before 60 day post fertilization (dpf). Such sex reversal was likely due to decreased germ cell proliferation by suppressing PI3K/Akt pathway in early ovaries of igf3 mutants. Estrogen is considered as a master regulator in fish sex differentiation. Here, we found that igf3 expression could be upregulated by estrogen in early stages of ovarian follicles as evidenced in in vitro treatment assays and cyp19a1a mutant zebrafish, and E2 failed to rescue the defects of igf3 mutants in ovarian development, suggesting that Igf3 may serve as a downstream factor of estrogen signaling in sex differentiation. Taken together, we demonstrated that Igf3 is essential for ovary differentiation in zebrafish.

ABSTRACT
Measuring, reporting, and forecasting research impact beyond academia has become increasingly important to demonstrate and understand real-world benefits. This is arguably most important in crisis disciplines such as medicine, environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation, where application of new knowledge is urgently needed to improve health and environmental outcomes. Increasing focus on impact has prompted the development of theoretical guidance and practical tools tailored to a range of disciplines, but commensurate development of tools for conservation is still needed. In the present article, we review available tools for evaluating research impact applicable to conservation research. From these, and via a survey of conservation professionals, we compiled and ranked a list of 96 impact indicators useful for conservation science. Our indicators apply to a logic chain of inputs, processes, outputs, outcomes, and impacts. We suggest the list can act as a clear guide to realize and measure potential impacts from conservation research within and beyond academia.
Testing the fair process heuristic in a traffic stop context: Evidence from a factorial study with video vignettes
Authors: Solomon Starr J , Chenane Joselyne L 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We explored whether distributive justice mediated the observed association between procedural justice and legitimacy, as well as cooperation with police. We distributed a 2 × 2 factorial survey to a national online sample of 560 adults. Participants were randomly assigned to view one video vignette of a traffic stop varying the components of procedural justice (decision-making and treatment quality). We used structural equation modelling to test the significance of direct and indirect effects. The results indicated that distributive justice fully mediated the effect of decision-making quality on each outcome and partially mediated the effect of treatment quality on trust and cooperation with police. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

Published: December 2020

Abstract

Background
Infections are important complications of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with few studies having investigated oral antibiotic use. Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing can contribute to multidrug-resistant organisms and Clostridioides difficile infections seen in ESRD. This study investigates antibiotic prescribing practices in ESRD across New York State (NYS).

Methods
Retrospective case-control study from 2016 to 2017 of NYS ESRD and non-ESRD patients analyzing Medicare part B billing codes, 7 days before and 3 days after part D claims. Frequencies of each infection, each antibiotic, dosages, and the antibiotics associated with infections were assessed using χ 2 analysis. A NYS small dialysis organization comprising approximately 2200 patients was also analyzed. Outcomes measured were the frequencies of infections and of each antibiotic prescribed. Incidence measures included antibiotics per 1000 and individuals receiving antibiotics per 1000.

Results
A total of 48 100 infections were treated in 35 369 ESRD patients and 2 544 443 infections treated in 3 777 314 non-ESRD patients. ESRD patients were younger, male, and African American. ESRD and non-ESRD patients receiving antibiotics was 520.29/1000 and 296.48/1000, respectively (P &lt; .05). The prescription incidence was 1359.95/1000 ESRD vs 673.61/1000 non-ESRD patients. In 36%, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole dosage was elevated by current ESRD guidelines. Top infectious categories included nonspecific symptoms, skin, and respiratory for ESRD; and respiratory, nonspecific symptoms, and genitourinary in non-ESRD.

Conclusions
This study identifies issues with appropriate antibiotic usage stressing the importance of antibiotic education to nephrologist and nonnephrologist providers. It provides support for outpatient antibiotic stewardship programs.
