Published: November 2022

The research aimed at estimating the production function and the total cost function, as well as calculating the efficiency of resource use, technical, economic, price and cost efficiency. The research was based primarily on a simple random sample of 115 farmers in Baghdad governorate for the spring season 2016.The finding of the study reveal that the optimal size of production and the size of production that maximize profit reached about 98.6512, 112.8316 tons respectively. Technical, economic and price efficiencies were estimated at (61.8588, 61.8585, 90.479)% consequently, while cost efficiency was estimated at 0.66720, and the net farm income that achieved over all the sample less about 3726.9726 thousand dinars than that achieved at optimal size. The results of the resources efficiency criteria indicated that potato farmers were efficient in using resources (seeds, human labor) and were inefficient in using the irrigation resource. The research concluded that the quantity of seeds had the greatest impact on potato production and that there was waste in using the available resources, which led to the actual production being less than the optimum size of production. The research recommends that the related institutions should work to provide good quality potato seeds to cover the needs of local farmers, And from good sources in a timely manner and at the right price to increase the production and productivity of this important crop and reduce production costs. As well as the protection of the local producer by adopting price policies that grant best income of farmer.

<p>Big data streaming analytics has recently attracted much attention in the signal and information processing communities due to the fact that massive streaming datasets have been collected over the years. Among them, many modern data streams are represented as multidimensional arrays (aka tensors), and thus, streaming tensor decomposition or tensor tracking has become a promising tool to analyze such streaming data. In this paper, we propose a novel online algorithm called ROTDL for the problem of robust tensor tracking under the Tucker format. ROTDL is not only capable of tracking the underlying Tucker dictionary of multidimensional data streams over time, but also robust to sparse outliers. The proposed algorithm is specifically designed by using the alternating direction method of multipliers, block-coordinate descent, and recursive least-squares filtering techniques. Several experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of ROTDL for robust tensor tracking. </p>

Published: November 2022

<p>Under high-dimensional and nonlinear stochastic power system environment, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a promising alternative towards the urgent demand of real-time AC optimal power flow (OPF). However, traditional AI only fit the settlement results of other method, and is unable to find in-depth law of power flow. This may result in an undesired poor generalizability. To address this issue, a unsupervised OPF model combining physics- guided graph neutral networks and Lagrangian dual is proposed. The model incorporates the physical constraints into training tensor graph, as well as a dual Lagrangian method to satisfy the physical and engineering constraints present in the OPF. At the same time, since topology of power system may vary, the branch characteristics are embeded into node graph to adapt to grid topology contingency. Numerical tests on benchmarks demonstrate that, in unseen operating condition, the proposed method enables a near or even better solution than conventional optimization algorithm, but consumes much more than 100 times calculation efficiency. </p>
Efficient detection of metastability events in asynchronous SAR ADCs
Authors: Osipov Dmitry 
Published: November 2022

<p>A new approach is proposed to deal with the metastability errors in asynchronous SAR ADCs. This proposal avoids the disadvantages of conventional metastability detectors (additional metastability events due to the detector itself, lowness from additional comparator loading, additional logic delays, need to perform detection on each bit), but provides a significant decrease in metastability errors and their amplitudes. The approach uses both comparators’ outputs to detect whether metastability occurred at all during conversion (without determining in which particular bit). Theoretical examination and Octave simulation show that this information suffices to correct half of metastability errors.</p>

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a tool used to prevent or minimize the occurrence of work accidents. Compliance with the use of PPE must be carried out by every worker who will enter the work area. This research was conducted at PT. Syngenta Seed Indonesia with the aim of knowing the description of worker compliance in the use of personal protective equipment at PT. Syngenta Seed Indonesia.
This study uses a descriptive type of research. Data collection in this study was obtained by means of observation and questionnaire surveys. The sample of this research is all permanent workers in the production division as many as 24 workers. The variables studied were trust, accept, act, and worker compliance in the use of PPE.The purpose of this study is to determine the level of employee confidence in using PPE.
The results of the study indicate that the trust aspect of the workers is mostly in the good category. While the aspects of receiving (accept) and aspects of doing (act) workers are mostly in the less category. From the aspect of believing (belief) as many as 18 (47%) workers are obedient, aspects of accepting (accept) as many as 11 (29%) workers are obedient, and aspects of doing (act) as many as 9 (24%) workers are obedient in the use of PPE so that the value of compliance is obtained. workers by 38 (100%).
The conclusion of this study is that workers who have a good level of confidence in the use of PPE do not necessarily manifest in attitudes and actions because it can be caused by several factors, one of which is the convenience of using PPE.
