Virtual Sensing of Key Variables in the Hydrogen Production Process: A Comparative Study of Data-Driven Models
Authors: Yao Yating , Xing Yupeng , Zuo Ziteng , Wei Chihang , Shao Weiming 
Published: May 2024

Hydrogen is an ideal energy carrier manufactured mainly by the natural gas steam reforming hydrogen production process. The concentrations of CH4, CO, CO2, and H2 in this process are key variables related to product quality, which thus need to be controlled accurately in real-time. However, conventional measurement methods for these concentrations suffer from significant delays or huge acquisition and upkeep costs. Virtual sensors effectively compensate for these shortcomings. Unfortunately, previously developed virtual sensors have not fully considered the complex characteristics of the hydrogen production process. Therefore, a virtual sensor model, called “moving window-based dynamic variational Bayesian principal component analysis (MW-DVBPCA)” is developed for key gas concentration estimation. The MW-DVBPCA considers complicated characteristics of the hydrogen production process, involving dynamics, time variations, and transportation delays. Specifically, the dynamics are modeled by the finite impulse response paradigm, the transportation delays are automatically determined using the differential evolution algorithm, and the time variations are captured by the moving window method. Moreover, a comparative study of data-driven virtual sensors is carried out, which is sporadically discussed in the literature. Meanwhile, the performance of the developed MW-DVBPCA is verified by the real-life natural gas steam reforming hydrogen production process.
Les voies du corral. Aspects de l'orientation dans les pratiques pastorales et les performances rituelles contemporaines des éleveurs de rennes du Nord-Kamtchatka

Herding directions. Aspects of orientation in contemporary pastoral practices and ritual performances of reindeer herders in northern Kamchatka
Among the reindeer herders of northern Kamchatka far east Siberia, Russian Federation), pastoral practices and ritual performances reveal a similar connection to orientation. In the village of Ačajvajam, this relationship expresses itself explicitly in the spring, when Chukchee, Even and Konak herders together build a corral in order to separate the female reindeer from the rest of the herd before calving time, and then celebrate the birth of the fawns in the residential outskirts of their village. Never consistently fixed, the pragmatic and symbolic marks of orientation determine a moving topography in which the positions of humans, animals and “spirits” sometimes overlap with one another or even take the place of each other. In this perpetual movement, body gesture (dancing) and vocal gesture (guttural sounds, melodic singings) appear as powerful markers of orientation.
Orientation des monastères mongols

The orientation of Mongolian monasteries
The article treats the question of whether orientation becomes particularly important in the architecture of Mongolian Buddhist monasteries built between the 16th and the 20th century. While the monasteries were oriented, the orientation was multiple: Indo-Tibetan Buddhist influences, Chinese influences, and the Mongolian conception of space all played contrasting roles in the choices of the right setting (by means of geomancy), the monument’s inscription in the landscape, the buildings’ general orientation, the hierarchy between different positions (right and left, high and low, entrance and back), and their general layout. As a consequence, various models coexist: axial temples, maṇḍala temples and stūpa are built according to either an axial progression or centred and oriented cosmological models. Furthermore, some sites are built in an apparently disorderly layout or settlement, which bears little resemblance to a cosmological model. Yet, such sites will be “corrected” in literary or pictorial representations, by evincing telling discrepancies between the discourse and the reality of orientation. Finally we discuss the practice of circumambulation which unites spatial and temporal progressions.
Les mélodies huchées des Touvas et des Ouzbèks. Contexte et système musical
Authors: Léotar Frédéric

Tuvinian and Uzbek taming melodies. Context and musical system
Based on concrete examples, this article seeks to illustrate the thesis that songs for animals or so-called taming melodies used by Turkic shepherds proceed from a similar prototypic model. Following a detailed inventory of all descriptions available in the ethno-musical and linguistic literature about the use of a song to incite, for instance, females to produce milk, the analysis focuses on Tuvinian and Uybek taming melodies. The analysis points out recurrences in the melodies, which reveals an underlying common model.

O bloqueio intercostal é uma técnica anestésica regional que envolve a injeção de anestésico local entre as costelas para bloquear a dor torácica e abdominal. É frequentemente utilizado em procedimentos como cirurgias de tórax, abdome e mama, além de para o manejo da dor crônica. O anestésico local bloqueia a transmissão dos sinais de dor dos nervos intercostais para a medula espinhal, aliviando a dor na região torácica e abdominal. Existem diferentes tipos de bloqueio intercostal, cada um com suas características e aplicações específicas. Os mais comuns incluem: Bloqueio paracostal: O anestésico é injetado entre a costela e o músculo intercostal.Bloqueio paravertebral: O anestésico é injetado próximo aos corpos das vértebras.Bloqueio epidural torácico: O anestésico é injetado no espaço epidural, próximo à medula espinhal.Como em qualquer procedimento médico, existem riscos associados ao bloqueio intercostal, o sagramento é raro, mas pode ocorrer se a agulha atingir um vaso sanguíneo, como também a infecção é rara, mas pode ocorrer se a técnica asséptica não for rigorosamente seguida.É importante ressaltar que os riscos do bloqueio intercostal são geralmente baixos, especialmente quando realizado por um profissional experiente e em um ambiente adequado. As técnicas e tecnologias modernas minimizam ainda mais os riscos e aumentam a segurança do procedimento.
Ameaças e especificidade de ações dos Planos de Ação Nacional para Conservação da Fauna no Brasil
Authors: Silva de Barros Fernanda , Bernard Enrico 
Published: May 2024

O aumento das ameaças Ã biodiversidade e de extinções de espécies está diretamente associado Ã s atividades antrópicas. O enfrentamento desse problema requer a priorização de ações conservacionistas e os Planos de Ação Nacional para Conservação da Fauna são documentos que sintetizam essas ações. Aqui utilizamos planos de ação nacional (PANs) disponíveis para o Brasil para: 1) categorizar os drivers de ameaças diretas que recaem sobre as espécies de vertebrados contempladas; 2) analisar padrões de frequência de drivers dentre e entre grupos taxonômicos, e categorias de ameaça; 3) analisar a especificidade das ações elaboradas nos PANs; e 4) analisar a influência do tempo decorrido entre a espécie ser asinalada como ameaçada, a ção de um PAN que a contemple, e uma eventual mudança de status de ameaça. Identificamos que o agronegócio e a superexploração de espécies são os drivers que impactam o maior número de mamíferos, aves, répteis e anfíbios. Encontramos nas matrizes de planejamento e nas matrizes de monitoria do primeiro ano de cada PAN um total de 3.747 ações, das quais 30% eram específicas para ameaças identificadas, porém tendenciosas para o driver superexploração. Um grupo de 14 espécies apresentou melhora no status de conservação ao longo do período de listagem de espécies ameaçadas no Brasil, e de implementação dos PANs (1989 - 2020). Eventuais melhoras no status de ameaça podem ser comprometidas pela baixa especificidade das ações propostas nos planos de ação, pelo longo tempo para implementação dessas ações, ou pelos obstáculos que impedem o início e a conclusão das ações.
A first semantics for <i>at first</i> and <i>at last</i>
Authors: Alstott Johanna Victoria 
Published: May 2024

This paper offers the first ever semantic analysis of a puzzling restriction on the distribution of ordinal numbers in English: while the temporal adverbials at first and at last are felicitous, putting any other ordinal in this environment is degraded (#at second, #at third). My analysis builds on the notion that assertions are relativized to a salient time interval, known in the literature as reference time or topic time. On my semantics, at first and at last further relativize an assertion to a salient subinterval of the topic time that shares an infimum (first point) or supremum (last point) with it. On the standard assumption that time-intervals are dense, the infelicity of #at second, #at third, etc. follows from this semantics. Since at first and at last invoke the first and last points of a time-interval on my analysis, #at second will attempt to invoke the second (i.e. second earliest) point of a time-interval. Invoking the first and last points of a dense interval is coherent, but invoking the second point (i.e. the point closer to the first point than any other) is not. My analysis makes interesting predictions about the interaction of at first/at last with present tense and frame adverbials, and it opens up several avenues for future research.
A phonotactic-tonotactic grammar for Tokyo Japanese that clusters by lexical strata offers a good trade-off between model size and likelihood
Authors: Ozaki Satoru 
Published: May 2024

The Japanese lexicon is typically classified into at least three etymological strata: native, Sino-Japanese and foreign words. In Tokyo Japanese, nouns from different strata are known to have different phonotactic as well as tonotactic properties. Should one analyze Tokyo Japanese nouns using a non-clustering grammar that generates all nouns using the same phonological grammar, or should one analyze them using a clustering grammar that generates nouns from different strata using different grammars? In this study, I address this question from a probabilistic and a model selection perspective: the better probabilistic grammar is one that better balances fit to data and the number of parameters in the grammar. Using the UCLA Phonotactic Learner, I train two kinds of MaxEnt grammars that correspond to non-clustering and clustering grammars. I compare the two kinds of grammar using the Bayesian Information Crierion (BIC), and show that the non-clustering grammars make a better trade-off between fit to data and model size than non-clustering grammars. Consequently, different etymological strata of the Tokyo Japanese nominal lexicon are better analyzed as being generated from different MaxEnt grammars than from the same MaxEnt grammar.

Abstract
The most recent Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey has proposed Uranus as the target for NASA’s next large-scale mission. The interior structure and atmosphere of the planet are currently poorly understood, and objectives for investigating Uranus’s deeper regions and composition are highly ranked. Traditionally, gravity science has served as one of the primary means for probing the depths of planetary bodies and inferring their internal density distributions. In this work, we present precise numerical simulations of an onboard radio science experiment designed to determine Uranus’s gravity field and tidal deformations, which would offer a rare view into the planet’s interior. We focus on the mission’s orbital planning, discussing crucial parameters such as the number of pericenter passes, orbital inclination, and periapsis altitude necessary to meet the gravity measurement requirements for a Uranus orbiter. Our findings suggest that eight close encounters may be sufficient to determine the zonal gravity field up to J
8 with a relative accuracy of 10%, if the trajectory is optimized. This would allow for the decoupling of the gravity field components due to interior structure and zonal winds. Additionally, we find that the expected end-of-mission uncertainty on Uranus’s Love number k
22 is of order ∼0.01 (3σ). This level of accuracy may offer crucial information about Uranus’s inner state and allow for discriminating between a liquid and solid core, thus shedding light on crucial aspects of the planet’s formation and evolution.

Background and Objective:
Retrospective analysis correlating serologic titers of ocular syphilis with posterior segment manifestations.

Patients and Methods:

This study consisted of 40 patients (80 eyes imaged, 68 affected) with positive rapid plasma reagin (RPR) and
Treponema Pallidum
immunoglobulin G. We collected demographic and presentation data including HIV status, absolute CD4 count, RPR, cerebrospinal fluid-venereal disease research laboratory (CSF-VDRL) test, and retinal zone. We categorized imaging into syphilitic outer retinopathy (SOR), acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinopathy, retinitis/chorioretinitis (RC), and papillitis. Multivariate analysis correlated HIV status, RPR, and VDRL titers with posterior segment findings and zone.

Results:

Mean age of 42.8 ± 10.7 years, with 70% male patients. Presenting visual acuity (logMAR) 0.66 ± 0.74 did not correlate with RPR, nor was it associated with papillitis, RC, or acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinopathy. Higher RPR (≥ 1:128) positively associated with SOR (
P
= 0.031) and zone 1 (odds ratio [OR], 1.62;
P
= 0.02), but negatively associated with zone 2 (OR 0.35;
P
= 0.005). HIV positivity increased RC odds (OR, 4.45;
P
= 0.047).

Conclusion:
Higher RPR correlated with SOR and zone 1, whereas HIV positivity correlated with RC.

La fabrique publique/privée des données de planification urbaine en France : entre logique gestionnaire et approche territorialisée de la règle
Authors: Ausello Nicolas 
Published: May 2024

La question des données territoriales revêt une importance croissante pour l’État, qui entend orienter leur production, leur circulation et leur condition d’usage. Cet article examine les modalités du repositionnement de l’État vis-à-vis des collectivités locales en matière d’urbanisme règlementaire dans le cadre de la standardisation et de la numérisation des données des Plans Locaux d’Urbanisme. Il explore également l’intégration de ces données dans une géoplateforme unique. Nous montrons que ce projet de construction d’un outil commun à l’échelle nationale s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une reprise en main par le pouvoir central des données de planification urbaine à travers l’intégration partielle de méthodes privées, développées par des sociétés commerciales au cours des années 2010 grâce au processus d’open data. L’étude de la fabrique publique/privée des données de l’urbanisme règlementaire permet de mettre en exergue deux points clés de la reconfiguration de l’action de l’État par rapport aux territoires : d’une part, l’émergence d’une tension entre une logique gestionnaire de la donnée et une approche territorialisée de la règle, adaptée au contexte du projet local, soulève la question d’une réaffirmation de l’État en matière de règlementation de l’urbanisme et d’une potentielle prévalence des "cases prédéfinies" sur la logique fine et contextualisée de la règle ; d’autre part, la numérisation et la standardisation des données d’urbanisme mettent en place les conditions d’une instrumentation technique des territoires au service de leur suivi et de leur contrôle à travers des comparaisons territoriales chiffrées. Cette étude conclut à une complexification de la fabrique contemporaine des données territoriales tout en soulignant l’intérêt du suivi de ces dernières pour saisir les enjeux qui s’incarnent dans de nouveaux types d’instruments hybrides de pilotage étatique de l’action locale.
