DISCOver: DIStributional approach based on syntactic dependencies for discovering COnstructions
Authors: Antònia Martí Maria , Taulé Mariona , Kovatchev Venelin , Salamó Maria 
Published: January 2019

AbstractOne of the goals in Cognitive Linguistics is the automatic identification and analysis of constructions, since they are fundamental linguistic units for understanding language. This article presents DISCOver, an unsupervised methodology for the automatic discovery of lexico-syntactic patterns that can be considered as candidates for constructions. This methodology follows a distributional semantic approach. Concretely, it is based on our proposed pattern-construction hypothesis: those contexts that are relevant to the definition of a cluster of semantically related words tend to be (part of) lexico-syntactic constructions. Our proposal uses Distributional Semantic Models for modelling the context taking into account syntactic dependencies. After a clustering process, we linked all those clusters with strong relationships and we use them as a source of information for deriving lexico-syntactic patterns, obtaining a total number of 220,732 candidates from a 100 million token corpus of Spanish. We evaluated the patterns obtained intrinsically, applying statistical association measures and they were also evaluated qualitatively by experts. Our results were superior to the baseline in both quality and quantity in all cases. While our experiments have been carried out using a Spanish corpus, this methodology is language independent and only requires a large corpus annotated with the parts of speech and dependencies to be applied.

Authors: Plebankiewicz Edyta , Wieczorek Damian 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to check the correctness of the operation of “the fuzzy risk assessment module in the life cycle of building objects”. The authors examine sensitivity of the module to the possible change of parameters that may affect the final result of the calculations due to modification: sets of membership functions for input and output variables, rules of fuzzy implication to the process of aggregation of premises and aggregation of result conclusions, as well as methods for defuzzification the resultant value. All 99 combinations of input variable values were simulated taking into account the combination for: 4 sets of membership functions (polygonal, complex, harmonic and Gaussian dunctions), 4 sets of T-norms and S-norms (minimum and maximum of Mamdani, algebraic product and sum, product and sum of Hamacher, and product and sum of Einstein) and 2 defuzzification methods (centre of gravity and bisector area method). The authors calculated arithmetic average (m), standard deviation (s) and coefficient of variation (V), which is a relative measure of variation for each of the 3168 combinations. Based on the results of research, the authors recommended the most appropriate sets of parameters that may affect the final result of the calculations.
Selection of the optimal solution of acoustic screens in a graphical interpretation of biplot and radar charts method
Authors: Dachowski Ryszard , Gałek Katarzyna 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The choice of an optimal solution among various available technological and material undertakings often becomes a problem of the engineering community. A multi-criteria technical and economic analysis is used in order to facilitate decision making. The objective of this article is to present biplot methods and radar charts as a possibility of graphic presentation of research results by obtaining an optimal solution on the example of an analysis of technological and material undertakings of acoustic screens. The research consisted in identifying technological and material solutions of the selected acoustic screens, and then defining features (criteria) and cases (technological and material solutions). The results were presented in radar charts and biplot-type graphs. The methodology consisted in generating a data matrix, which is then processed, decomposed and finally scaled. The calculations were carried out in the Statistica programme. The carried-out analysis showed that the spider web and biplot methods differ from each other. The biplot graph more precisely describes the solutions, and it presents the correlations between variables and cases.
Comparison of energy parameters of a centrifugal pump with a multi-piped impeller in cooperation either with an annular channel and a spiral channel
Authors: Chomiuk Bartłomiej , Skrzypacz Janusz 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The article presents results of numerical analyzes, which raise a subject of influence of the cooperation the multi-piped impeller with a rationalized flow geometry of annular casing and volute casing for liquid flow through centrifugal pump and their operating parameters in the extremely low specific speed nq<10. The multi-piped impeller (patented by authors) is a major alternative to classic vane impellers. The stator type is responsible for the conversion of the kinetic energy of the liquid by the impeller outlet into potential energy, which determines the overall efficiency of the pump. Also, the article presents qualitative and quantitative verification of results obtained by computer modeling and an attempt to estimate their accuracy. The article focuses mainly on the comparison of the performance parameters of the pump with a multi-piped impeller in cooperation with two stator types with a rationalized flow geometry. Both outlet elements were tested in various configurations of constructional features. The complexity of the construction of the stator can significantly affect the manufacturing costs of pump unit.
Knowledge concerning construction of hydraulic elements of centrifugal pumps working in the range of parameters corresponding specific speed (nq<10) is insufficient. As shown in the paper, the annular type casing model pump cooperating with a multi-piped impeller, designed in accordance with literature, reached far poorer operating parameters than the rational annular construction in a configuration with the same impeller.
Designing for empowerment – An investigation and critical reflection
Authors: Schneider Hanna 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Technology bears the potential to empower people – to help them tackle challenges they would otherwise give up on or not even try, to make experiences possible that they did not have access to before. One type of such technologies – the application area of the thesis presented here – is health and wellbeing technology (HWT), such as digital health records, physical activity trackers, or digital fitness coach applications. Researchers and companies alike often claim that HWTs empower people to live healthier and happier lives. However, there is reason to challenge and critically reflect on these claims and underlying assumptions as more and more researchers are finding that technologies described as empowering turn out to be “disempowering”. This critical reflection is the starting point of the thesis presented here: Can HWTs really empower people in their everyday lives? If so, how can we design for empowerment?
In my cumulative dissertation, I combine studies on existing HWTs, such as patient-controlled electronic health records and personalized mobile fitness coaches with the development of novel prototypes such as transparent digital fitness coaches that communicate their rationale to the user. By reflecting on these case studies, I come to revisit the sometimes washed-out meaning of “empowerment” in “empowering technologies”; I introduce a framework to establish conceptual clarity; and I suggest three principles to design for empowerment based on my own work and the Capability Approach by Sen and Nussbaum that aim to inform and inspire research on HWTs and beyond.
Adaptive Scheduling Mechanism with Variable Bit Rate Traffic in EPON
Authors: Rayapati Bhargav Ram , Rangaswamy Nakkeeran 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
In Ethernet Passive Optical Network, with Load Adaptive Polling Sequence Arrangement (LASA) method, the Optical Line Terminal assigns delayed polling sequence arrangement for a set of Optical Network Units (ONUs) over the cycles. This arrangement has resulted in identical cycle time with Constant Bit Rate traffic. In addition, the LASA through its arrangement provides sleep mode to different set of ONUs over the cycles and provides maximum sleep time for ONUs. With these advantages of LASA and keeping the scenario with different cycle times for the ONUs, in this work, the Variable Bit Rate (VBR) based LASA method is analyzed. The variation in the cycle times has resulted in two cases and in each case by varying the maximum (Mxi) and the minimum (Mni) idle times, a maximum of 40.6% reduction in power consumption is observed in LASA with VBR scheduling method than traditional one.

Authors: Hao Jiali , Xie Wenjie , Li Hui , Li Runsheng 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most diagnosed cancer in Western male population. In this study, we insert mK5 (the mutational kringle5 of human plasminogen) into a DD3-promoted (differential display code 3) oncolytic adenovirus to construct OncoAd.mK5.DD3. E1A.dE1B, briefly, OAd.DD3.mK5. DD3 is one of the most prostate cancer specific promoters which can transcriptionally control adenoviral replication. mK5 has been proved to be able to inhibit the tumor angiogenesis and inhibit cell proliferation. Our results suggested that targeting PCa with OAd.DD3.mK5 elicited strong antitumor effect.
Impediments and Desirability of Complete Ban on International Movement of Toxic Waste
Authors: Nwankwo Cletus Famous , Okafor Uchenna Paulinus 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
This essay identifies the obstacles to a complete ban on international movement of hazardous waste and critiques its desirability. The essay argues that the obstacles are difficulties in formulating and implementing multilateral waste management treaties (WMTs), socioeconomic factors and trade liberalisation. Also, it argues that the desirability of a complete ban is a function of national priority and socio-economic differentials that underpin the waste trade. Furthermore, since the Basel Convention as amended is not a ‘Holy Grail’, the responsibility of a complete ban will lie on the shoulders of countries that do want to ‘trade poison for cash’. Such countries will have to strengthen their environmental legislation, forge and sustain stronger joint actions to confront the problem.
The Perfect in (Brazilian) Portuguese: A Functional Discourse Grammar View
Authors: Olbertz Hella 
Published: January 2019

AbstractIn most Germanic and Romance languages the present perfect has developed from a resultative meaning via an anterior into absolute past. In Functional Discourse Grammar terms this corresponds to the grammaticalization of a phasal aspectual operator at the layer of the Configurational Property, via a relative tense operator at the layer of the State-of-Affairs, into an absolute tense operator at the layer of the Episode. This is what happened in Romance languages, such as French and Italian, while Peninsular Spanish is developing in the same direction, without as yet having fully reached the absolute past stage. The Portuguese present perfect, however, is different as it does not express resultative aspect, relative past or absolute past meaning but rather the iteration or continuity of an event from some past moment onward until after the moment of speaking. A further idiosyncrasy of the perfect in Portuguese is that the auxiliary is based on Latin tenere rather than habere, as is the case in the other Romance languages. This paper describes the semantic and the morphosyntactic aspects of the grammaticalization of the (Brazilian) Portuguese perfect in diachrony and synchrony. It turns out that (i) the medieval habere-based Portuguese present perfect becomes obsolete and the past perfect develops into a relative past, (ii) the post-medieval tenere-based past perfect turns into a relative past as well, whereas (iii) the tenere-based present perfect undergoes semantic specialization in the course of the 20th century. This paper shows how these facts can be accounted for within the Functional Discourse Grammar approach to the grammaticalization of aspect and tense.
Structural Integrity Assessment of a Nuclear Vessel through ASME and Master Curve Approaches Using Irradiation Embrittlement Predictions
Authors: Ferreño Diego , Fernández-Rucoba David , Casado José A. , Bascones Roberto , Ruiz Estela , Rodríguez Álvaro , Miguel Roberto , Poncela Enrique G. 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The assessment of the structural integrity of nuclear vessels is based on a series of procedures developed in the 1970s and 1980s. On one hand, curves that, according to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers code, describe the relationship between steel toughness and temperature in the ductile-to-brittle transition region, based on the reference temperature concept RTNDT, were adopted in 1972. On the other hand, the material embrittlement derived from the exposure of steel to neutron irradiation is determined through the model included in “Regulatory Guide 1.99 Rev. 2,” published in 1988. Since then, there have been enormous advances in this field. For example, the Master Curve, based on the reference temperature T0, describes the relationship between toughness and temperature in the transition zone more realistically and with much more robust microstructural and mechanical foundations and uses the elastic-plastic fracture toughness KJc. Moreover, improved models have been developed to estimate the embrittlement of steel subjected to neutron irradiation, such as ASTM E900, Standard Guide for Predicting Radiation-Induced Transition Temperature Shift in Reactor Vessel Materials. This study is aimed at comparing the results obtained using traditional procedures to the improved alternatives developed later. For this purpose, the behavior of the steel of a nuclear vessel that is currently under construction has been experimentally characterized through RTNDT and T0 parameters. In addition, the material embrittlement has been quantified using “Regulatory Guide 1.99 Rev. 2” and ASTM E900. These experimental results have been transferred to the assessment of the structural integrity of the vessel to determine the pressure-temperature limit curves and size of the maximum admissible defect as a function of the operation time of the plant. The results have allowed the implicit overconservatism present in the traditional procedures to be quantified.
Indonesian Penal Policy: Toward Indonesian Criminal Law Reform Based on Pancasila
Authors: Najih Mokhammad 
Published: January 2019

Criminal law enforcement in Indonesia has always been a very crucial and the sexiest issue. Almost 35 years the idea of criminal law enforcement has been carried out and so far several concepts of the National Criminal Code have been born which continue to experience developmental dynamics that are quite interesting to study. The desire to realize a better criminal law and be able to fulfill the aspirations of the people is the ideal criminal law politics (penal policy). National Criminal Law must have characteristics that are typical of Indonesia, authentic and original, encompassing customary law, systems of values â€‹â€‹and beliefs, characteristics of modern states and international values. Pancasila as the source of all sources of law, which has not received serious attention needs to be used as a recommendation for the paradigm of penal reform. Pancasila has at least the main principles that must be implemented in all formulations of criminal legislation. These principles are among others, principles based on the source of religious values (Godhead / Divine God), the value of humanity (humanism), the value of unity and peace, the value of democracy and the value of social justice. Therefore, Indonesian criminal law must have values that are based on Pancasila, both in the form of legal norms (addresaat norm), on the types of acts that are regulated (straafbar), in the form of punishment or sanctions (straafmaat), as well as regulatory aspects and implementation of law enforcement law (formal law).
