Groups and monoids of Pythagorean triples connected to conics
Authors: Murru Nadir , Abrate Marco , Barbero Stefano , Cerruti Umberto 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
We define operations that give the set of all Pythagorean triples a structure of commutative monoid. In particular, we define these operations by using injections between integer triples and 3 × 3 matrices. Firstly, we completely characterize these injections that yield commutative monoids of integer triples. Secondly, we determine commutative monoids of Pythagorean triples characterizing some Pythagorean triple preserving matrices. Moreover, this study offers unexpectedly an original connection with groups over conics. Using this connection, we determine groups composed by Pythagorean triples with the studied operations.
Analysis of Drude model using fractional derivatives without singular kernels
Authors: Jiménez Leonardo Martínez , García J. Juan Rosales , Contreras Abraham Ortega , Baleanu Dumitru 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
We report study exploring the fractional Drude model in the time domain, using fractional derivatives without singular kernels, Caputo-Fabrizio (CF), and fractional derivatives with a stretched Mittag-Leffler function. It is shown that the velocity and current density of electrons moving through a metal depend on both the time and the fractional order 0 < γ ≤ 1. Due to non-singular fractional kernels, it is possible to consider complete memory effects in the model, which appear neither in the ordinary model, nor in the fractional Drude model with Caputo fractional derivative. A comparison is also made between these two representations of the fractional derivatives, resulting a considered difference when γ < 0.8.
An unsteady MHD Maxwell nanofluid flow with convective boundary conditions using spectral local linearization method
Authors: Sithole Hloniphile M. , Mondal Sabyasachi , Sibanda Precious , Motsa Sandile S. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The main focus of this study is on unsteady Maxwell nanofluid flow over a shrinking surface with convective and slip boundary conditions. The objective is to give an evaluation of the impact and significance of Brownian motion and thermophoresis when the nanofluid particle volume fraction flux at the boundary is zero. The transformed equations are solved numerically using the spectral local linearization method. We present an analysis of the residual errors to show the accuracy and convergence of the spectral local linearization method. We explore the effect of magnetic field and thermophoresis parameters on the heat transfer rate. We show, among other results, that an increase in particle Brownian motion leads to a decrease in the concentration profiles but concentration profiles increase with the increasing value of thermophoresis parameter
Quantum mechanical calculation of electron spin
Authors: Zhao Hai-Long 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The classical and quantum mechanical methods are used respectively to calculate the electron spin. It is shown that the classical method cannot derive the correct magnetic moment value. Assuming that the rest energy of the electron originates from the kinetic energy of the virtual particles, the electron spin motion equation and spin wave function can be derived. In the case of the quantum numbers of spin angular momentum and magnetic moment being 1/2 and 1 respectively, their correct values can be obtained. In the meanwhile, the anomalous magnetic moment is evaluated based on the wave function of the spinning electron. Suppose the probability of virtual photons converting into electron-positron pairs to be 0.00141, the result agrees with that of quantum electrodynamics. Given that the energy of the virtual photon obeys the classical Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, the self-energy of the electron will be finite. In addition, the hierarchy problem can be solved with the same hypothesis.
Superluminal tunneling of a relativistic half-integer spin particle through a potential barrier
Authors: Nanni Luca 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This paper investigates the problem of a relativistic Dirac half-integer spin free particle tunneling through a rectangular quantum-mechanical barrier. If the energy difference between the barrier and the particle is positive, and the barrier width is large enough, there is proof that the tunneling may be superluminal. For first spinor components of particle and antiparticle states, the tunneling is always superluminal regardless the barrier width. Conversely, the second spinor components of particle and antiparticle states may be either subluminal or superluminal depending on the barrier width. These results derive from studying the tunneling time in terms of phase time. For the first spinor components of particle and antiparticle states, it is always negative while for the second spinor components of particle and antiparticle states, it is always positive, whatever the height and width of the barrier. In total, the tunneling time always remains positive for particle states while it becomes negative for antiparticle ones. Furthermore, the phase time tends to zero, increasing the potential barrier both for particle and antiparticle states. This agrees with the interpretation of quantum tunneling that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle provides. This study’s results are innovative with respect to those available in the literature. Moreover, they show that the superluminal behaviour of particles occurs in those processes with high-energy confinement.
Relativity, anomalies and objectivity loophole in recent tests of local realism
Authors: Bednorz Adam 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Local realism is in conflict with special quantum Bell-type models. Recently, several experiments have demonstrated violation of local realism if we trust their setup assuming special relativity valid. In this paper we question the assumption of relativity, point out not commented anomalies and show that the experiments have not closed objectivity loophole because clonability of the result has not been demonstrated. We propose several improvements in further experimental tests of local realism make the violation more convincing.
Experiences of women who participated in a beta-test for an online-streamed yoga intervention after a stillbirth
Authors: Huberty Jennifer L. , Matthews Jeni , Leiferman Jenn , Cacciatore Joanne 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Background: Little is known about how to best care for mothers after stillbirth. As such, this paper will report the satisfaction and perceptions of an online yoga intervention (12-week beta test) in women after stillbirth.
Methods: Participants (n=74) had a stillbirth within the last 24–months (M time since loss 9.65 ± 6.9 months). Post-intervention satisfaction surveys and interviews and dropout surveys were conducted. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze survey responses and demographic information. A phenomenological approach was used to explore and understand unique experiences of participant interviews. Data were analyzed using NVivo10.
Results: Twenty-six women (M age 33.73 ± 4.38) were completers (&gt; 3 wks of yoga), 26 (M age 31.82 ± 4.13) were non-completers (&lt; 3 wks of yoga), and 22 (M age 32.94 ± 2.93) dropped out. Twenty completers participated in a post-intervention satisfaction survey with 75% (n=15) reporting being very satisfied or satisfied with the online yoga intervention, found it to be very enjoyable or enjoyable, and very helpful or helpful to cope with grief. Satisfaction and perceptions of the intervention in those who completed an interview (n=12) were clustered around the following themes: benefits, barriers, dislikes, satisfaction, and preferences. Of the 22 dropouts, 14 completed a dropout survey. Women withdrew from the study due to pregnancy (n=3, 21%), burden (n=3, 21%), stress (n=2, 14%), lack of time (n=2, 14%), did not enjoy (n=1, 7%), and other (n=3, 21%).
Conclusion: Findings here may be used to help design future research.
Spatial and temporal variations of precipitation during 1979–2015 in Jinan City, China
Authors: Chang Xiaodong , Xu Zongxue , Zhao Gang , Cheng Tao , Song Sulin 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe spatiotemporal variation of precipitation significantly affects regional hydrological processes and the management of water resources worldwide, indirectly contributing to an aggravation in the frequency and intensity of extreme events, especially in urban areas. To analyze the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of precipitation during 1979–2015 in Jinan City, the China Meteorological Forcing Dataset and 12 precipitation-related indices are adopted and analyzed by using Mann–Kendall trend test, Sen's slope estimator and Pettitt test in this study. The results show that: (1) the annual mean precipitation (AMP) shows a gradual increasing trend from the northern plain area to the southern mountainous area; (2) the heaviest summer precipitation occurs in the southern part of downtown with a high frequency, resulting in the drastic amplification of urban rainstorm flood disasters; (3) the spatial distributions of most indices show a gradual increasing trend from the northern plain area to the southern mountainous area, while consecutive dry days show the opposite tendency; and (4) most indices roughly show similar spatiotemporal variation characteristics with AMP, i.e., decreases in southwestern area, but increases in the eastern mountainous region and the north plain area, exhibiting an overall increasing trend at the 1% significance level.
The Impact of Sensory, Motor and Pain Impairments on Patient- Reported and Performance Based Function in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Authors: Nazari Goris , Shah Niyati , MacDermid Joy C , Woodhouse Linda 
Published: November 2017

Background:
Research has suggested that persistent sensory and motor impairments predominate the symptoms experienced by patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS); with intermittent pain symptoms, being less predominant.

Objective:
The study aims to determine the relative contribution of sensory, motor and pain impairments as contributors to patient-report or performance-based hand function.

Methods:
Fifty participants with a diagnosis of CTS confirmed by a hand surgeon and electrodiagnosis were evaluated on a single occasion. Impairments were measured for sensibility, pain and motor performance. A staged regression analysis was performed. In the first step, variables with each of the 3 impairment categories were regressed on the Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) to identify the key variables from this domain. Models were created for both self report (Quick Disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand- Quick DASH) and performance based (Dexterity) functional outcomes. Backward regression modelling was performed for SSS and then, to allow comparability of the importance of different impairments across models, the 7 significant variables from the SSS model were forced into the models.

Results:
Variables: age, touch threshold and vibration threshold of the little finger of unaffected hand, median-ulnar vibration threshold ratio of affected hand, mean pain tolerance of unaffected hand, grip strength and pinch strength of affected hand, explained 31%, 36% and 63% of the variance in SSS, Quick DASH and dexterity scores, respectively.

Conclusion:
Hand function in patients with CTS is described by variables that reflect sensory status of the median and ulnar nerves, the persons pain threshold, grip and pinch strength impairments and age.

Authors: Biantoro Agung Wahyudi 
Published: November 2017

Pada penelitian audit energi ini akan dilakukan di Gedung P Kabupaten Tangerang dan Gedung Tower UMB Jakarta. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan IKE (Intensitas Konsumsi Energi) serta biaya pembayarannya sesuai pemakaian berdasarkan data historis gedung, kemudian membandingkan secara umum hasil audit enegy yaitu beban penerangan dan pendingin pada Gedung P Kabupaten Tangerang dan Gedung Tower UMB Jakarta. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode analisis deskriptif kuantitatif dengan membandingkan secara umum kondisi konsumsi energi antara kedua gedung ini. Alat yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah Environment meter, multimeter dan Tang ampere. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Nilai intensitas konsumsi energi (IKE) untuk Gedung P Kabupaten Tangerang adalah 50,17 kWh/m2/tahun, masuk dalam kategori sangat efisien, karena kurang dari nilai standar 240 kWh/m2/tahun. Gedung ini sangat efisien karena sebagian besar ruang menggunakan ventilasi alami, khususnya di hall tengah bagian pelayanan pelanggan. Kemudian banyak AC yang tidak bekerja karena rusak, banyak ruang yang kapasitas AC nya terlalu kecil, dan Intensitas pencahayaan (Lux) kurang terang (dibawah standar SNI). Kondisi AC secara umum dibawah performance nya yang berpotensi pemborosan energi listrik. Penurunan performance ini karena kurangnya perawatan dan usia AC sebagian sudah melebihi batas usia ekonomis maupun teknis (˃10 tahun). Suhu ruang kerja rata-rata diatas 260 C. Kondisi ini akan mempengaruhi kenyamanan kerja karyawan. Selanjutnya pada Gedung Tower Universitas Mercu Buana didapat Nilai intensitas konsumsi energi (IKE) untuk sebesar 149,83 kWh/m2/tahun, masuk dalam kategori efisien. Gedung ini masuk dalam kategori efisien karena sebagian ruang masih belum banyak dipakai sehingga penggunaan AC tidak seluruhnya digunakan. Selain itu dengan adanya pekerjaan office boy dan dosen yang disiplin yaitu dengan mematikan AC dan lampu ruangan kelas yang tidak terpakai serta Intensitas pencahayaan (Lux) kurang terang (dibawah standar SNI). Kondisi AC secara umum cukup bagus performancenya sehingga efisien dalam konsumsi energi listrik. Bagusnya performance ini karena cukupnya perawatan dan usia AC sebagian masih dalam batas usia ekonomis maupun teknis yaitu < 3 tahun. Suhu ruang kerja rata-rata sekitar 22 - 230C dan kondisi ini bagus untuk kenyamanan kerja karyawan.

Authors: Purnama Nurul Chandra 
Published: November 2017

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menyebut konsumsi listrik nasional saat ini masih terbilang mini, yaitu seperempat dari indikator negara maju di dunia. Dengan angka 956 per Kilowatt-hour (kWh) per kapita, konsumsi listrik Indonesia baru mencapai 23,9 persen dari konsumsi listrik negara maju sebanyak 4 ribu kWh per kapita. Salah satu komponen utama pada sistem pembangkit adalah boiler. Uap hasil produksi Boiler ini digunakan untuk memutar turbine yang akan menggerakkan generator guna menghasilkan listrik. Sootblower merupakan peralatan penunjang pada boiler yang berfungsi untuk membersihkan jelaga. Oleh karena itu peranan sootblower sangat penting dalam menjaga effisiensi boiler. Tujuan dari dilakukan analisis ini adalah mampu mengidentifikasi penurunan perpindahan panas yang terjadi pada pipa boiler, mengidentifikasi faktor penyebab kegagalan pada Sootblower, mengurangi energi yang terbuang akibat pengoperasian Sootblower. Metode penelitian untuk melakukan pelaksanaan analisis sootblower ini terdiri atas berbagai bagian, antara lain: studi literatur, proses pengumpulan data, kemudian data diolah dan dilakukan analisis guna mengetahui penyebab kegagalan pada sootblower. Hasil dari analisis kegagalan pada sootblower ini didapatkan bahwa sootblower gagal beroperasi karena ada masalah pada lance tube yang sering bengkok sehingga mempengaruhi proses perpindahan panas di pipa boiler, oleh sebab itu di rekomendasikan untuk penggantian material lance tube dari carbon steel A105 dengan defleksi 1,1 m menjadi chrome moly (AISI 4130) dengan defleksi 1,05 cm dan dilakukan perawatan sootblower lebih baik dan rutin lagi.
