Simulation and Implementation of Multiple Unipolar Stepper Motor Position Control in the Three Stepping Modes using Microcontroller
Authors: Y. Yousef Ayman , H. Mostafa M. 
Published: November 2016

<p>This paper presents a multiple unipolar stepper motor position control system using microcontroller (MCU) in anticlockwise and clockwise directions. The open loop controller of the implemented position control system for the three stepping modes of operation has been designed and developed with three stepper motors and without position feedback. The MCU is programmed using flowcode software package to generate the pulse signals with the desired stepping sequences and step angles. These pulse signals are necessary to drive the three stepper motors in the three drive modes (wave-step, full-step, and Half-step) according to the control algorithm. Three devices of 8 Channel Darlington Driver (chip ULN2803) are used to drive the three stepper motors and provide them with the sufficient current. The position control system has been simulated using proteus design suite software package and the controller has been implemented using low cost PIC16F877A (MCU). A reliable and accurate position control of the stepper motor is achieved by this position control system. </p>
Design of MPC for Superheated Steam Temperature Control in a Coal-fired Thermal Power Plant
Authors: Yasmine Begum A. , V. Marutheeswar G. 
Published: November 2016

<p>A superheater is a vital part of the steam generation process in the boiler-turbine system. Reliable control of temperature in the superheated steam temperature system is essential to guarantee efficiency and high load-following capability in the operation of coal-fired Thermal power plant. The PI and PID controllers are extensively used in cascade control of secondary superheated steam temperature process.The design and implementation of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy for the superheated steam temperature regulation in a thermal power plant is presented. A FOPTD model is derived from the dynamic model of the superheater. This model is required by the MPC algorithm to calculate the future control inputs. A new MPC controller is designed and its performance is tested through simulation studies. Compared with the superheater steam temperature control using a conventional PID controller, the steam temperature controlled by the MPC controller is found to be more stable. The stable steam temperature leads to energy saving and efficient plant operation, as verified by the simulation results. </p>

Published: November 2016

<p>The characteristic of land and forest fires occurred in Indonesia are varied widely, following the variation of time within a year and geographic location. This paper describes how the spatio-temporal of forest and land fire typology was developed. The main objective of this study was to develop a spatio-temporal typology of forest and land fire by considering several key indicators that directly related to the density of active fire occurrence, such as percentage of forest area (x<sub>1</sub>), population density (x<sub>2</sub>), ratio of forest area to population (x<sub>3</sub>), ratio of plantation area to population (x<sub>4</sub>), ratio of agriculture area to population (x<sub>5</sub>), GRDP (x<sub>6</sub>), population growth (x<sub>7</sub>), deforestation growth (x<sub>8</sub>), plantation growth (x<sub>9</sub>) and dry agriculture growth (x<sub>10</sub>) as well as MODIS-based fire hotspot. The typology analysis was performed using clustering techniques with Euclidean distance dissimilarity measure, where the grouping process was drawn with single linkage method. The temporal analysis showed that the highest occurrence of the fire hotspot was mainly found in the third quarter. It was found that the forest and land fire typology could be developed into three classes using variables x<sub>6</sub> and x<sub>7</sub> with overall accuracy of 78.15% or x<sub>1</sub>-x<sub>6</sub>-x<sub>7</sub> with overall accuracy of 78.8%. No accuracy improvement was obtained when the typology was developed using five variables x<sub>1</sub>-x<sub>3</sub>-x<sub>4</sub>-x<sub>6</sub>-x<sub>7.</sub><em></em></p>

Published: November 2016

<p align="center">data in an image file is needed by its owner to set his ownership in a logo as a watermark embedded in the image file. Hiding the logo in the image was done in several methods. One of the method is domain transform using 2D-DCT in which data is embedded in frequency domain of the image. First, the host RGB image is converted to certain color space. The available and chosen color spaces are RGB, YCbCr or NTSC. The layer in which the watermark is embedded also can be selected. The available choices are 1<sup>st</sup> layer, 2<sup>nd</sup> layer, 3<sup>rd</sup> layer, 1<sup>st</sup> &amp; 2<sup>nd</sup> layer, 2<sup>nd</sup> &amp; 3<sup>rd</sup> layer, 1<sup>st</sup> &amp; 3<sup>rd</sup> layer and all layers. After the selected layer of image in certain color space is transformed in block based to frequency domain by DCT, one bit watermark is embedded on the AC coefficient of each block such a way that the bit is represented by specific value called delta in a zigzag and vary length of pixel. The vary parameters optimized by Genetics Algorithm are selected color space, selected layer, block size, length of pixel to be embedded by one bit watermark, and delta. Bit “1” is represented by +delta, and bit “0” is represented by –delta in vary length of pixel after zigzag. The simulation result performs that GA is useful to search the value of parameter that produces controllable the combination between robustness, invisibility and capacity. Thus, GA improves the method by determining the exact value of parameter achieving BER, PSNR and payload. </p>
The Uncertainty in the Transient Climate Response to Cumulative CO2 Emissions Arising from the Uncertainty in Physical Climate Parameters
Authors: MacDougall Andrew H. , Swart Neil C. , Knutti Reto 
Published: November 2016

AbstractAn emergent property of most Earth system models is a near-linear relationship between cumulative emission of CO2 and change in global near-surface temperature. This relationship, which has been named the transient climate response to cumulative CO2 emissions (TCRE), implies a finite budget of fossil fuel carbon that can be burnt over all time consistent with a chosen temperature change target. Carbon budgets are inversely proportional to the value of TCRE and are therefore sensitive to the uncertainty in TCRE. Here the authors have used a perturbed physics approach with an Earth system model of intermediate complexity to assess the uncertainty in the TCRE that arises from uncertainty in the rate of transient temperature change and the effect of this uncertainty on carbon cycle feedbacks. The experiments are conducted using an idealized 1% yr−1 increase in CO2 concentration. Additionally, the authors have emulated the temperature output of 23 models from phase 5 of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The experiment yields a mean value for TCRE of 1.72 K EgC−1 with a 5th to 95th percentile range of 0.88 to 2.52 K EgC−1. This range of uncertainty is consistent with the likely range from the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (0.8 to 2.5 K EgC−1) but by construction underestimates the total uncertainty range of TCRE, as the authors’ experiments cannot account for the uncertainty from their models’ imperfect representation of the global carbon cycle. Transient temperature change uncertainty induces a 5th to 95th percentile range in the airborne fraction at the time of doubled atmospheric CO2 of 0.50 to 0.58. Overall the uncertainty in the value of TCRE remains considerable.
A New Method of Characterizing Flow Patterns of Vortices and Detecting the Centers of Vortices in a Numerical Wind Field
Authors: Hou Jie , Wang Ping , Zhuang Shuo 
Published: November 2016

AbstractA vortex in a wind field is an important aspect of a weather system; vortices often result in hazardous weather, such as rainstorms, windstorms, and typhoons. As the availability of numerical meteorological data increases, traditional manual analysis no longer provides an efficient means of timely analysis of observed and predicted atmospheric vortices. Therefore, a method was proposed to automatically characterize flow patterns of vortices and to detect the centers of vortices in complex wind fields generated from numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. First, a statistical feature was developed to preliminarily filter regional wind data to obtain (anti)cyclonic vortices. Second, flow patterns of ideal axisymmetric wind fields were extracted by analyzing circular data related to wind directions. Third, for actual vortices in a complex wind field, a series of rules and deformation degree indices were constructed to retrieve the provisional centers of vortices. Fourth, the Ward hierarchical clustering algorithm was used to cluster these provisional centers, which were filled up by a dilation operation to cover the core region of the vortex. Finally, the vortices were classified as either cyclones or anticyclones based on their analyzed vorticity, and their global centers were precisely located. Experimental results show that the proposed preprocessing method was more effective than the traditional filtering method and that the features of the flow pattern were stable regardless of the variety in the resolution and scale. It was also proven that the proposed method can be further extended and applied to detecting typhoon centers, for which it was more effective than other currently used methods.
Approach to the diagnosis and treatment of high-grade B-cell lymphomas with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements
Authors: Sesques Pierre , Johnson Nathalie A. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
High-grade B-cell lymphomas (HGBLs) with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements, so-called “double-hit” lymphomas (HGBL-DH), are aggressive lymphomas that form a separate provisional entity in the 2016 revised World Health Organization Classification of Lymphoid Tumors. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) will be required to identify HGBL-DH and will reclassify a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) and HGBLs with features intermediate between DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma into this new category. Identifying patients with HGBL-DH is important because it may change clinical management. This poses a challenge for centers that may not be ready to handle the additional workload and financial burden associated with the increase in requests for FISH testing. Herein, we review the mechanisms of deregulation of these oncogenes. We identify the factors associated with a poor prognosis and those that can guide diagnostic testing. Restricting FISH analysis to the 10% of DLBCL patients who have a germinal center B-cell phenotype and coexpress MYC and BCL2 proteins would be cost-effective and would identify the subset of patients who are at highest risk of experiencing a relapse following conventional therapy. These patients may benefit from intensified chemotherapy regimens or, ideally, should enroll in clinical trials investigating novel regimens.
Preserving rapid prototypes: a review
Authors: Coon Carolien , Pretzel Boris , Lomax Tom , Strlič Matija 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Rapid Prototyping (RP) has revolutionized the world of manufacturing. It has gained popularity among designers and artists, having developed from a visualization tool to a manufacturing tool for end-use products. Rapid-prototyped objects are being accessed by museums and the technology is being adopted for conservation applications. The review identifies the current most commonly used polymer based RP technologies and materials that are likely to enter museum collections, and formulates informed research topics related to their conservation. A knowledge exchange project was conducted with artists and designers using the technology via an online survey and interviews. The main technologies and materials used by artists and designers were identified and investigated including research that has been done into the stability of RP manufactured objects. Since these may be uniquely post-processed by artists and designers, RP objects are often irreplaceable, i.e. cannot simply be reprinted. The evolution from rapid prototyping (RP) to additive manufacturing (AM) has resulted in extensive research into the mechanical properties and short-term stability of prototypes. However, very little research has been conducted into RP from the conservation perspective particularly long-term stability studies. Since RP technology is rapidly developing, it is crucial that conservators and scientists follow and inform these developments.

AbstractContext:Multiple diseases may explain the association of the growth hormone/insulinlike growth factor-I (GH/IGF-I) axis with longevity.Objective:To relate circulating GH/IGF-I system protein levels with major health eventsDesign and Setting:This is a cohort study set in 4 US communities.Participants:Adults (N = 2268) 65 years and older free of diabetes and cardiovascular diseaseMeasurements:We assessed insulinlike growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) and ghrelin in fasting and 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) blood samples, as well as fasting IGF-I and IGFBP-3. Hazard ratios for mortality and a composite outcome for first incident myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, hip fracture, or death were adjusted for sociodemographic, behavioral, and physiological covariates.Results:During 13,930 person-years of follow-up, 48.1% of individuals sustained one or more components of the composite outcome and 31.8% died. Versus the lowest quartiles, the highest quartiles of fasting and 2-hour ghrelin were associated with 27% higher (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6%, 53%) and 39% higher (95% CI: 14%, 71%) risks of the composite outcome, respectively. The highest quartile of 2-hour IGFBP-1 was associated with 35% higher (95% CI: 1%, 52%) risk of the composite end point. Similarly, higher mortality was significantly associated with higher fasting and 2-hour ghrelin levels and with 2-hour IGFBP-1 level. When examined together, 2-hour post-OGTT levels of IGFBP-1 and ghrelin tended to predict outcomes better than fasting levels.Conclusions:Circulating IGFBP-1 and ghrelin measured during an OGTT predicted major health events and death in older adults, which may explain the influence of the GH/IGF-I axis on lifespan and health.

Abstract
This article analyzes the construction of motherhood as a form of political agency in Turkey with particular references to the Saturday Mothers and the Peace Mothers, respectively, the mothers of the disappeared and the mothers of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) fighters. Interviews with the mothers of soldiers will also be part of the final analysis. Focusing on these three organizations, the article answers the following questions: (1) How has the conflict between the military/paramilitary forces and oppositional organizations transformed the lives of some ordinary women across the country? (2) How have some sociopolitically marked and wounded women perceived the state and responded to its violence through the identity of motherhood? (3) To what extent can the power of motherhood activism, which derives from the sharing of personal experiences in the public domain as an expression of collective traumas and silenced pasts, contribute to peace building in Turkey?
Dealing with the Housing Crisis: A Study on Softwood Sawmills in the Southern United States
Authors: Zhang Daowei , Lin Ying , Sasatani Daisuke 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
In this article we discuss the impact of the recent housing crisis and economic recession on the southern US softwood sawmill industry. We use the first difference model to quantify the impact of market conditions on the performance of independent sawmills including their adjustments and responses between 2006 and 2012. Our results show that lumber and log price change, adjustment in product mix and labor input, and export strategy were key factors influencing production and capacity utilization levels during and after the housing crisis. Furthermore, these factors contributed in different magnitudes in the housing crisis and recovery periods.
(Re)constructing ‘worth’ in reality television: A case study of The Block New Zealand
Authors: Johnson Rosser 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Since the late 1990s, television light entertainment schedules have increasingly featured programming that focuses on home renovation, a do-it-yourself principle and associated ‘lifestyle choices’. Such programming typically rates highly with audiences and is very attractive to networks and producers (if only because its formulaic nature ensures production costs are relatively low). Here, one common characteristic is the central focus on the ‘deserving’ nature of the protagonists. Notably, this moral dimension both drives the narrative (how will the contestants fare in the set tasks?) and underpins the jeopardy (will the outcome be consonant with their level of ‘worth’?). Crucially, home makeover formats also offer sponsors unparalleled opportunities to integrate their products into the content of the programme. This article will outline the marketing and televisual underpinnings of such programming, with a particular focus on ‘moral jeopardy’. This term is defined as the tension ensuing from the moral positioning of contestants within reality programming. Using Season Two of The Block New Zealand (2012) as a case study, it will demonstrate how that tension may be uneasily or incompletely resolved, especially when the outcome for particular contestants is asynchronous with the expectation established within the narrative of the show.
2000 Belle d’Opium parfum campaign and the erotic female grotesque
Authors: Kelly Mimi 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The now famous Belle d’Opium Eau de parfum campaign of Yves Saint Laurent Beauty featuring a naked Sophie Dahl has provoked both derision and titillation in audiences since its release in 2000. On the one hand, the image is clearly sexually alluring. On the other, the subject’s nakedness also provokes male fear of the female body as a site of difference, that is, castration, and demonstrates a re-claiming of female eroticism from the traditional domain of male sexual desires – a ‘grotesque’ display of female self-pleasure in defiance of the male gaze. For this reason, the advert captures particularly well the paradox of woman as both an object of attraction and a site for culturally informed moral reprehension through this mode of defiance. This article examines how the advert works on multiple registers, not only drawing attention to deep social and cultural anxieties that exist in relation to the female body but importantly also demonstrating an active reclaiming of women’s libidinal pleasure and ‘grotesque’ bodily ‘difference’. In this sense, the article argues that the Opium advert can be interpreted as a site of active transgression of strict moral and normative gender expectations, along the lines of Mary Russo’s concept of the ‘female grotesque’. In analysing this particular quality of the advert, the article goes on to suggest that the image works particularly well to challenge patriarchal conceptions of women, and yet the subject’s clear sexual attraction also defies traditional feminist interpretations of female objectification. It is precisely because of the moral ambiguity attached to the advert that it acts as a valuable site of discussion on how female agency can be interpreted through conditions traditionally seen as ‘objectifying’.
Lord Business is dead – long live Lord Business!: Second order ideology in The Lego Movie
Authors: Mattes Ari 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s The Lego Movie (2014) was touted by some popular critics as a kind of celebration of collective emancipation in the face of corporate domination. Obviously, such a reading, given the corporate framing of Lego and the commercial film in general as product, is immensely problematic. However, what is particularly provocative about Lord and Miller’s film is not that it addresses the viewer as infantile, hapless consumer-dupe, as has traditionally been the case in advertising models, but that it does, in fact, the very opposite: it invites the ‘hip’ viewer to laugh along with its lampooning of its own ontological status as commercial brand-film. This is ideology in its most seductive, persuasive form. This tendency – overtly challenging one’s own ideological frame whilst at the same time essentially supporting it – ‘second order ideology’ – is not particularly new, but has become increasingly widespread throughout contemporary popular culture in recent years.

A brief history of the dancer/camera relationship
Authors: Lewis-Smith Christopher 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
This article reflects on the relationship between the dancer and the camera. It identifies a divide that commonly exists between the performing dancer and the camera operator/director in screendance-making and suggests that this divide is narrower in production works where links to the dance community exist on both sides of the lens and where production environments do not involve large teams behind the camera. This divide is examined in a historical context and changes in the dancer/camera relationship are charted with examples from the advent of film, such as Thomas Edison’s Black Maria Studio productions through the choreography of Busby Berkeley in the 1930s, Maya Deren’s screen dance experiments in the 1950s, Merce Cunningham in the 1970s and concluding in the present day with works by practitioners such as Katrina McPherson and Margaret Williams. Drawing on the testaments of historical observers, contemporary theorists and first-hand accounts by dancers such as Alice Barker, Gene Kelly and Cathy Nicoli, the research undertaken here suggests that the dancer/camera/director divide still persists, even in the more closely aligned groups working in smaller production environments today. However, the article identifies a number of film-makers who, with the advent of new technologies, have developed an alternative approach to filming dance that challenges those structural and hierarchical divisions.
