Authors: Baechler Mark 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article discusses a research/drawing project entitled Abrahamic Architecture. The research explores the creation of graphite wall drawings towards the development of Jewish, Christian and Islamic architectural history and theory. The objective of the research is to address the gap that currently exists in architectural scholarship related to the co-authored synagogues, churches and mosques of the Abrahamic religions. These collaboratively built structures are termed ‘Abrahamic’ architecture. The research is investigated using research-creation methods that combine creative and traditional academic research techniques to support the development of knowledge through visual investigations.
Elastic Perspective: The diagonal line and the production of deep space
Authors: Haley Rochelle 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article considers a practice of experimental drawing that crosses spatiality, collectivity and temporality. The exercise titled ‘Elastic Perspective’ extends from conceptual drawing and performance practices of the 1960s and 1970s and takes a critical approach to traditional applications of perspective theory in drawing. It differs from other contemporary practices of performance drawing, as the method produces no visual representations or physical objects. Elastic Perspective suggests that perspective can be thought of ‘materially’. Thinking perspective ‘materially’ rather than somewhere between an abstract schema, metaphor for subjectivity and an historical technical rule, the practice reveals new insights into the experience and process of drawing in what has traditionally been thought of as representational space. This study explores the concept of an experimental perspective practice through the description of a performative, relational, immaterial line drawing involving two or more moving participants. Together the untrained participants discover the qualities of the diagonal line in the production of depth in imaginary representational space. The proposition of this practice-led research is that perspective can be considered an elastic relation of materiality in performance, in addition to a symbolic theoretical overlay or latent organizing principle of real space in drawing.
Drawing to read architectural heritage
Authors: Akboy-İik Serra 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Architectural documentation is a contextual study that aims to record patterns of lives and rudiments of civilization embedded in the built environment. Documenters collect measurements from historic surfaces and then transcribe these field data into 2D measured drawings that include existing architectural, material and structural conditions. Although the documentation activities seem very straightforward, with a series of actions to portray the architectural heritage through graphical records, the process itself is an interpretive account of the historic structure, which documenters thickly describe in the architectural context. The act of seeing, observing, interpreting and then capturing the essence of cultural heritage offers a methodical process, which carries significant qualities similar to that of thick description widely used in ethnographic fieldwork. Thinking between architectural documentation as an enquiry of thick description and measured drawings as the product of an interpretive account of what the historic structure denotes, this article seeks to acquire an understanding of drawing in architectural documentation, focusing on engagement with cultural heritage.
South Indian singing, digital dissemination and belonging in London’s Tamil diaspora
Authors: Hornabrook Jasmine 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
This article explores the digital dissemination of Carnatic – South Indian classical – and Tamil devotional songs, singing and learning in London’s Tamil diaspora. Carnatic and Tamil devotional singing are key cultural practices in this highly dispersed, or ‘scattered’, diaspora, and are strong markers of collective Tamil cultural identity. The voice embodies the distinct South Indian style and is, therefore, highly iconic in South India, Sri Lanka and their diasporas. To demonstrate how the voice and singing are experienced in multiple locations, the article describes specific examples of how ‘traditional’ vocal practices are disseminated through the Internet. These examples are Skype lessons and online broadcasting of Tamil devotional singing. Through engaging in traditional singing practices in online environments, it is argued that vocal practices are central to a sense of belonging in multiple diasporic localities and to musical, spiritual and cultural diasporic imaginaries.

A critical policy analysis of Texas’ Closing the Gaps 2015
Authors: Mansfield Katherine Cumings , Thachik Stefani Leigh 
Published: August 2017

This critical policy analysis uses critical race theory to provide a counter narrative to the P-16 initiative in Texas known as Closing the Gaps 2015. Findings indicate that while these reforms aim to increase educational access and achievement for people of color, they fall short of addressing systemic inequities such as enduring segregation and unconstitutional school finance policy. Using Texas as a case study illumines the ways the growing number of P-16 councils throughout the US might adapt and improve policy development and implementation to more adequately address educational inequities across racial, ethnic, and linguistic groups. The article closes with recommendations for Texas’ reiteration of Closing the Gaps 2015, titled 60x30TX, currently in revision to guide state education goals in 2016-2030.

Authors: Zuzulová Veronika , Šiška Bernard 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
The paper deals with identification of drought in western Slovakia, which is based on soil-climatological data. For this purpose, three sites were chosen: Bratislava, Piešťany and Hurbanovo, situated on the Danubian Lowland. The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) was calculated on monthly basis for time series 1981–2010, 2021–2050 and 2071–2100. There were determined the driest periods by percentage of dry months for each site. The driest period in Bratislava and Hurbanovo was in the first evaluated time series. In Piešťany we can expect, that the second time series will be the driest. Linear trend of drying area will be revealed in period 2071–2100 for all three sites. The aim of the paper is to analyze and compare the occurrence of drought in temporal and spatial dimensions on the west part of Slovakia.
Demand for Agricultural Land in Slovakia
Authors: Dirgasová Katarína 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
In general, soil is perceived as an unreplaceable and unrenewable natural resource that allows plants, animals and man to live. It is significant in several ways out of which the most important is the production of food for population, the production of fodder for livestock and the production of raw materials for food and light industry. Due to these as well as the other reasons, land becomes the object of competition between different subjects which are trying to get it and use it. The aim of the paper is to map and to characterise the demand for agricultural land at the agricultural land market based on the certificates on fulfilment of the requirements on purchase of agricultural land. Based on the data collected throughout 31 months, it was proved that the demand for agricultural land is influenced by price, land quality, area, fragmentation of land ownership, distance of the offered plot from a county seat and localisation of a given land plot.

A new algorithm for a CFE-approximated solution of a discrete-time noninteger-order state equation
Authors: Oprzędkiewicz K. , Stanisławski R. , Gawin E. , Mitkowski W. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractIn the paper, a new method for solution of linear discrete-time fractional-order state equation is presented. The proposed method is simpler than other methods using directly discrete-time version of the Grünwald-Letnikov operator. The method is dedicated to use with any approximator to the operator expressed by a discrete transfer function, e.g. CFE-based Al-Alaoui approximation. A simulation example confirms the usefulness of the method.
Fractional-order models: The case study of the supercapacitor capacitance measurement
Authors: Lewandowski M. , Orzyłowski M. 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
At the beginning of the paper, the fractional calculus is briefly presented. Then, the models of dielectric relaxation in supercapacitors are described. On the basis of the Cole-Cole model, a fractional-order model of supercapacitor impedance is formulated. The frequency characteristics of selected supercapacitors and their voltage response to a current step are assumed as a basis for the analysis of their dynamics. An example of the fractional dynamic model application was used for the critical assessment of the IEC standard recommendation on the conditions of supercapacitor capacitance measurements. The presented study shows some imperfections of the IEC standard recommendations, which probably result from the use of an inaccurate dynamics model. At the end of the paper, the authors propose a solution to this problem by changing the measurement conditions and introducing a concept of dynamic capacitance. The conclusions of the paper indicate that the models of fractional-order dynamics may be useful not only for the control purposes but also in other domains.
Generator with modulated magnetic flux for wind turbines
Authors: Gwóźdź M. , Krystkowiak M. , Jędryczka C. , Gulczyński A. , Matecki D. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractIn the paper, the concept of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with uniquely designed stator windings for wind turbines is presented. Two 3-phase windings in the stator are used, one of which is connected in the star, while the other in the delta configuration. Six-pulse rectifiers, mutually coupled by the pulse transformer, whose primary winding is supplied by the so-called “current modulator”, are placed at the outputs of both windings. The modulator output current should meet all the necessary and strict requirements. Both rectifiers operate on a common DC circuit. These solutions provide the sinusoidal magnetomotive force in the stator of the PMSG and the quasi-sinusoidal (taking into account the non-linearity of the magnetic circuit) magnetic flux. In light of the generator principle, it has been called the “PMSG with modulated the magnetic flux”. The slightly higher complexity in the structure of the generator, as compared to the normal three-phase construction, is compensated by the exceptional simplicity of the power electronics section of the system, which allows high efficiency to be reached. The current modulator (as well as the pulse transformer) is a power electronics converter with a relatively low output power as compared to the overall output power of the system. In comparison to other known solutions, the expected cost of the system should be lower. It is also expected that a high degree of reliability in terms of its operation will be achieved, and consequently, that the the ongoing costs of its maintenance will be reduced. In the paper, concept, theoretical basis of operation, and results of the studies of the simulation models of the generator, including the basic power electronics section, are presented.
A new sensorless speed control structure for PMSM using reference model
Authors: Urbanski K. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractIn the paper a new sensorless control structure for the PMSM drive is presented. Such a structure is especially recommended for speed in the range of single revolutions per second (excluding standstill). The method uses a back EMF observer for position estimation. However, there is no need to estimate the speed. This is a big advantage because of possible irregularity of estimated back EMF in this speed range, which makes the calculation of speed difficult or impossible. The proposed structure is similar to the model following control, but the reference model attempts to track the motor operating point. The main idea is to utilize as a reference a model of the whole drive, including speed and current controllers and motor model. Such a model produces reference voltage for the real inverter. However, an extra unit – called rotator – is needed to provide precise control of direct axis current, which is sensitive to the improper position of the voltage vector. The rotator acts as a kind of compensator for error of position estimation.

The proposed solutions are based on FEM calculations which were done for SEN(B) specimens dominated by plane strain condition. The paper includes the verification of the existing limit load solution for SEN(B) specimen with proposal of the new analytical formulae, which were used for building hybrid equations for determining three selected fracture mechanics parameters.
Influence of raceway waviness on the level of vibration in rolling-element bearings
Authors: Adamczak S. , Zmarzły P. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThis paper provides a quantitative analysis of how raceway waviness (RONt) in 6304-type bearings affects their vibration. The waviness of bearing races was measured at the actual points of contact between the balls and the races. The measurements were conducted in the range of 16–50 undulations per revolution (UPR). The bearing vibration was analyzed in three bandwidths of frequency: low (LB) (50 ÷ 300 Hz), medium MB (300 ÷ 1800 Hz) and high HB (1800 ÷ 10 000 Hz), as well as in the full RMS bandwidth. The paper also presents the procedure used to determine the actual points of contact between the ball and each race to specify the point of waviness measurement. The method of calculation of the contact angle for a ball bearing is also discussed. The Pearson linear correlation coefficients were determined to analyze the relationships between the waviness parameters and the level of vibration. The test results show that an increase in the surface waviness on the inner and outer raceways causes an increase in the vibration level. The influence is most visible for the medium frequency bandwidth.
Artificial neural network based tool wear estimation on dry hard turning processes of AISI4140 steel using coated carbide tool
Authors: Rajeev D. , Dinakaran D. , Singh S.C.E. 
Published: August 2017

AbstractNowadays, finishing operation in hardened steel parts which have wide industrial applications is done by hard turning. Cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts, which are expensive, are used for hard turning. The cheaper coated carbide tool is seen as a substitute for CBN inserts in the hardness range (45–55 HRC). However, tool wear in a coated carbide tool during hard turning is a significant factor that influences the tolerance of machined surface. An online tool wear estimation system is essential for maintaining the surface quality and minimizing the manufacturing cost. In this investigation, the cutting tool wear estimation using artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed. AISI4140 steel hardened to 47 HRC is used as a work piece and a coated carbide tool is the cutting tool. Experimentation is based on full factorial design (FFD) as per design of experiments. The variations in cutting forces and vibrations are measured during the experimentation. Based on the process parameters and measured parameters an ANN-based tool wear estimator is developed. The wear outputs from the ANN model are then tested. It was observed that as the model using ANN provided quite satisfactory results, and that it can be used for online tool wear estimation.

Published: August 2017

Summary

Introduction. During the previous years the number of organ transplantations from elderly donors increased, and lack of young donors leads to necessity to allocate organs from elderly into young recipients.

Aim of the Study. Was to analyse results of “old-to-young” allocation.

Material and methods. This retrospective study analysed results of all consecutive deceased donor kidney transplantations (DDKT) performed in one transplant centre during the period from 01.01.2004 till 31.12.2007. Patients were selected based on availability of 5-year follow-up and age < 50 years (158 DDKT). Patients were divided into 2 groups according to donor age: age-mismatched group (donor age was > 55 years and at the same time > 15 years older than recipient; n=8, male/female=2/6, age 39,4 + 4,8 years, donor age 59,4 + 2,4 years), and age-matched group (n=150, male/female=88/62, age 36,0 + 11,0 years, donor age 37,3 + 12,0 years). Groups were compared for clinical and demographical features and posttransplant outcomes (delayed graft function, s-creatinin levels at discharge and after 5 years, acute rejection rate, graft and patient 5-year survival).

Results. Comparison of demographical and clinical features revealed only relatively higher BMI in elderly donors (p=0.081) and higher frequency of age-mismatched allocation into female recipients (p=0.066). Early and late post-transplant outcomes showed no significant difference between groups, with similar 5-year graft and patient survival (p=NS for all compared factors).

Conclusion. Results showed good kidney allograft function even in cases of age-mismatched allocation, which is significant opportunity in current situation with increasing age of deceased donors.

Published: August 2017

Summary
Mitral regurgitation is common valvular heart disease and a major cause of congestive heart failure and death. It is most often associated with degenerative changes in mitral valve which leads to valve prolapse. Transapical off-pump mitral valve repair is a new minimally invasive procedure to treat mitral regurgitation. Here we report 64-year old female who suffered from grade III mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chorda and posterior leaflet P2/P3 segment prolapse. During surgery 4 artificial chordae were implanted and postoperative echocardiography results showed minimal residual grade I mitral regurgitation, therefore significant clinical improvement can be achieved with minimally invasive approach.
Market Building and the Capital Markets Union: Addressing Information Barriers in the SME Funding Market
Authors: Schammo Pierre 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThe Capital Markets Union (CMU) is one of the flagship policy initiatives of the Juncker Commission. The Commission’s strategy for realizing a CMU is set out in its White Paper on building a CMU. Besides describing the Commission’s vision of a CMU, the white paper includes an action plan which details the measures that are needed to build a CMU. The aim of this article is to consider the Commission’s measures in one particular area of the action plan. Specifically, this article examines the Commission’s strategy for overcoming information barriers to SME investment. By acting in this area, the Commission’s objective is to facilitate access to finance, but also to diversify sources of funding for SMEs, which are traditionally heavily dependent on bank-based finance. This article evaluates the Commission’s strategy and its prospects of success. After assessing the relevant policy measures, it will argue for a paradigm shift which is based on three pillars: a greater emphasis on market building measures; a greater emphasis on information sharing duties as one mechanism that can help to address information barriers; and a market correcting strategy to dovetail greater market building.
Big Metadata, Smart Metadata, and Metadata Capital: Toward Greater Synergy Between Data Science and Metadata
Authors: Greenberg Jane 
Published: August 2017

Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of the paper is to provide a framework for addressing the disconnect between metadata and data science. Data science cannot progress without metadata research. This paper takes steps toward advancing the synergy between metadata and data science, and identifies pathways for developing a more cohesive metadata research agenda in data science.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper identifies factors that challenge metadata research in the digital ecosystem, defines metadata and data science, and presents the concepts big metadata, smart metadata, and metadata capital as part of a metadata lingua franca connecting to data science.

Findings
The “utilitarian nature” and “historical and traditional views” of metadata are identified as two intersecting factors that have inhibited metadata research. Big metadata, smart metadata, and metadata capital are presented as part of a metadata lingua franca to help frame research in the data science research space.

Research limitations
There are additional, intersecting factors to consider that likely inhibit metadata research, and other significant metadata concepts to explore.

Practical implications
The immediate contribution of this work is that it may elicit response, critique, revision, or, more significantly, motivate research. The work presented can encourage more researchers to consider the significance of metadata as a research worthy topic within data science and the larger digital ecosystem.

Originality/value
Although metadata research has not kept pace with other data science topics, there is little attention directed to this problem. This is surprising, given that metadata is essential for data science endeavors. This examination synthesizes original and prior scholarship to provide new grounding for metadata research in data science.
