Published: October 2018

Putri Island, Nongsa is the outer and frontier island of NKRI region bordering Singapore. Its existence is very important both economically and politically. The management of Putri Island should consider the coastal characteristic that describes character and physical of the beach as the result of interaction between marine influence and coastal condition, geophysical and anthropogenic elements. The purposes of the study are mapping the coastal characteristics as an effort to manage frontier island and describing the abrasion hazard that occurred in this area. The study area is Putri Island, Nongsa. Field survey was conducted in May 2014. Coastal characteristic method wes conducted through geological observation, coastal morphology and coastline character. Bathymetry measurement conducted by echosounder, tidal observation by peilschaal and wind observation by a weather station. The study results show the type of tide is mixed predominantly semi diurnal. The dominant current direction is to the northeastern. The bathymetry conditions between Putri and Batam Island have a depth of up to 20 with a slope of 2.50 and towards the Singapore Strait has a depth of up to 70 m with a slope of &gt; 100. Coastal characteristics of Putri Island is divided into 5 types, ie sandy beaches, mangroves, coral, rocky and cliff. Generally, sandy beaches, mangroves, rocky, rocky have flat morphology and consist of sand, mangroves, coral reefs, gravel and boulder. Low-cliff beaches consist of conglomerates of various materials that are not well consolidated. The abrasion hazard threatens the Putri Island, Nongsa, especially in the north-western part of the island. The abrasion of Putri Island should be managed and performed based on the coastal characteristics of the area.

Investigation of the Influence of Hydrogel Amendment on the Retention Capacities of Green Roofs
Authors: Deska Iwona , Mrowiec Maciej , Ociepa Ewa , Łacisz Katarzyna 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Progressive economic development as well as urbanisation influence the characteristics of the stormwater runoff. Progressive sealing of drainage basin surface prompts the decrease of rainwater infiltration, thus increasing the runoff intensity. This results in an increase of flood risk. Thus, in urban areas the sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are used in addition to the traditional sewer systems. The examples of SUDS strategy are, inter alia, the roofs covered with vegetation (the green roofs). The paper presents the results of research of retention capacities of 4 diverse green roof models with following growing media: (1) the typical green roof substrate without any additions, (2) the substrate with addition of about 1 % by weight of hydrogel (the cross-linked potassium polyacrylate), (3) the substrate with addition of about 0.25 % by weight of hydrogel, (4) the substrate with addition of expanded clay and perlite. The models did not have the vegetation layers in order to explore only the retention capacities of drainage layers and substrates. The aim of the first part of research was to investigate the retention capacities of green roof models after 1, 2, 6, 8 and 10 antecedent dry days. In the case of 1 and 2 antecedent dry days the best medium retention capacity had green roof model 2 (with substrate with addition of 1 % by weight of hydrogel), and the weakest medium retention capacity had green roof model 1 (without any additions). In the cases of precipitations which occurred after 6 as well as 8 and 10 antecedent dry days the best retention capacity had green roof model 3 (with addition of about 0.25 % by weight of hydrogel). The weakest retention capacity had in these cases green roof model 4 (with addition of expanded clay and perlite). The aim of the second part of research described in the paper was to investigate the retention capacities of green roof models during precipitations that occurred after long antecedent dry periods of time (34, 59 and 106 antecedent dry days). The substrates and drainage layers were air-dry directly before precipitations. The best retention capacity had in this case green roof model 3 (with the substrate with addition of about 0.25 % by weight of hydrogel). The second largest retention capacity had model 2 (with the substrate with addition of about 1 % by weight of hydrogel). The definitely weakest retention capacity had model 4 containing the substrate with addition of expanded clay and perlite. The results may indicate that the efficacy of hydrogel decreased over time probably due to its decay under the influence of solar radiation.
Application of Neural Networks to the Optimization of the Thermal Treatment Process of Wood Materials
Authors: Hadjiski M. , Deliiski N. , Grancharova A. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In this paper, a software system for 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional modeling of frozen and not frozen logs and prismatic wood materials is used as a basis for optimization of the thermal treatment process of such materials. Then, the dependence of the optimal heating time on various parameters is approximated by means of neural networks. This would allow a fast real-time computation of the optimal heating time instead of performing extensive numerical simulations of the model comprised of partial differential equations.
Global Optimization Algorithm Based on One-Dimensional Chaotic Maps and Gradient Descent Technique
Authors: Tsankova D. , Lekova S. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
A hybrid algorithm for searching the global minimum of a multimodal function is proposed in the paper. It is a two stages search technique, the first stage is the twice carrier wave based chaotic optimization algorithm (COA) for global searching, and the second stage is the gradient descent algorithm (GDA) for accurate local searching. The chaotic dynamics is realized through one-dimensional map in three variants: logistic, cubic and sine map. Three testing functions are used. A hundred simulations (each starting from different initial point generated randomly) were carried out for each of the test functions using two optimization algorithms: the proposed hybrid algorithm and the GDA working alone. The success and accuracy of locating the extremum, as well as the convergence of the algorithms using the three different chaotic maps were discussed.
Architecture Evolution through Dynamic Reconfiguration in jADL
Authors: Papapostolu A. , Birov D. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
In software architecture the dynamic structure of a software system can be described in terms of components and connectors and expressed through the use of Architectural Description Languages (ADLs). We present jADL, a new ADL, designed for the creation and validation of dynamic and mobile architectures. It, also, aims to help towards the process of “unifying” the definition and implementation of an architecture in a way that the final result is consistent with the architecture in terms of both functional requirements and quality attributes. In this paper, we examine into details the definition and expression of jADL’s architectural elements; components, connectors, ports, roles and behaviour describing statements – attach, detach, config, bind. The attributes of synchronicity and multiplicity concerning the connections between architectural elements are presented. A special case of connections is presented – the bind statement and the construction of composite architectural elements. Also, a case study of the client-server dynamic model in jADL is presented and the possibilities of jADL for dynamic reconfiguration are explored.

Authors: Dimitrov V. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Systems for remote monitoring and control on energy consumption, efficiency and proper operation of the controlled objects are very often used in different spheres of industry, building automation, electricity distribution network etc. Various types of intelligent energy meters, PLCs and other control devices are involved in such systems. On the other hand, soft starters are widely used in industry and building automation for control on asynchronous drives when the speed regulation is not a mandatory requirement. They are cheaper than inverters and frequency converters and allow temporal reduction of the torque and current surge during start-up, as well as smooth deceleration. This is why the study of the principles of operation and setting up of intelligent energy meters, soft starters and PLC is very important. A laboratory system has been designed and built. An asynchronous motor is controlled by a soft starter and remote monitoring and control by contemporary devices has been provided. A methodology of design and setting up has been developed.
Compliance between ANSI/ACCA/ASHRAE 180 and ANSI/ISA-95 for Maintenance Management
Authors: Vasilev P. , Filipov V. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Facility Management is an important part in the commercial buildings and installations lifecycle, which includes permanent checks and monitoring of all systems and installations, helping to achieve the organizational objectives. The execution of activities of Maintenance and Inspection is often redistributed to contracted service providers which raises the issue of managing and supervising the results of work done. The major factor for proper execution of distributed tasks is the formalization of the activities in manner of who-what-when-why-how has to be done to accomplish the work. These rules have to be used as guidelines during the tasks execution and for the purpose of managing and supervising the overall progress of maintenance activities.

Published: October 2018

Abstract
An exceptionally effective implementation using parallel computations with two perspective quadrature schemes in a specific environment, namely. NET Framework, is discussed. Comparative tests are carried out demonstrating the possibility for effective computations with very high precision with specific tools of the environment being used. This paper describes a part of the research undertaken for the purpose of creating a tool library for arbitrary precision calculations [1]. The main goal is to demonstrate that very useful and mutually complementing computational tools, solving non-trivial problems with high precision computations may be implemented in a concrete environment, which is wide spread for personal computers, but underestimated by the software developers of scientific applications.

Published: October 2018

Abstract
This paper presents novel green automotive platinum sensing technology together with pressure sensors design principles and applications. In recent years, worldwide emissions legislation has been introduced and is rapidly becoming more stringent. With alternative vehicular propulsion methods far from becoming mainstream reality, leading automotive providers have intensified efforts in the direction of reducing the harmful footprint of their products. This is being accomplished via smaller, appropriately designed internal combustion engines, necessitating an increased and higher-performance sensor content per vehicle. This paper elaborates on temperature sensor application in automotive exhaust gas performance sensing and as well as pressure sensors in different challenging automotive applications with very high pressure levels.
Phenomic Selection Is a Low-Cost and High-Throughput Method Based on Indirect Predictions: Proof of Concept on Wheat and Poplar

Published: October 2018

Abstract
Genomic selection - the prediction of breeding values using DNA polymorphisms - is a disruptive method that has widely been adopted by animal and plant breeders to increase productivity. It was recently shown that other sources of molecular variations such as those resulting from transcripts or metabolites could be used to accurately predict complex traits. These endophenotypes have the advantage of capturing the expressed genotypes and consequently the complex regulatory networks that occur in the different layers between the genome and the phenotype. However, obtaining such omics data at very large scales, such as those typically experienced in breeding, remains challenging. As an alternative, we proposed using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a high-throughput, low cost and non-destructive tool to indirectly capture endophenotypic variants and compute relationship matrices for predicting complex traits, and coined this new approach ”phenomic selection” (PS). We tested PS on two species of economic interest (Triticum aestivum L. and Populus nigra L.) using NIRS on various tissues (grains, leaves, wood). We showed that one could reach predictions as accurate as with molecular markers, for developmental, tolerance and productivity traits, even in environments radically different from the one in which NIRS were collected. Our work constitutes a proof of concept and provides new perspectives for the breeding community, as PS is theoretically applicable to any organism at low cost and does not require any molecular information.

Published: October 2018

The purpose of the study is to assess in vitro the effect of colloidal blood substitutes on fat globules in the blood of patients with severe polytrauma.Materials and methods. Perftoran, 5% albumin solution, dextran-40, dextran-60, modified gelatin, hydroxyethyl starches 200/0.5 and 130/0.42 were added to the blood of 19 patients with severe polytrauma at ratios 1:20, 1:10, 1:5 and 1:3, respectively, which corresponded to the addition of 0.015 ml, 0.03 ml, 0.06 ml, 0.1 ml of the blood substitute under test to 0.3 ml of blood in a tube. Microscopy of the samples with assessment of the number and area of fat globules was carried out using a transmitted-light medical microvisor mVizo-101 (LOMO, Russia) 30 minutes after the blood and blood substitute exposure and subsequent staining with Sudan IV. The findings were processed using JMicroVision 1.2.7 software.Results. Dextran-60, hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 and 130/0.42 in vitro lead to a decrease in fat globules in the blood of patients with severe polytrauma in proportion to the dilution degree. Modified gelatin, dextran-40, 5% albumin solution and Perftoran have a significant additional emulsifying effect on the fat globules. The maximum emulsifying effect was obtained after addition of Perftoran to the blood.Conclusion. The experimental data on the effect of 5% albumin solution, modified gelatin, dextran-40, and Perftoran on fat globules justify the prospect for their further clinical application for prevention and treatment of fat embolism in an extended clinical trials.
