title: An integrated environment for electro-mechanical systems design and analysis
Creators: name: Shaeb Margani, Azeddin Mohamed
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1997

description: The purpose of this research was to examine current methodology and design tools for concurrent engineering of complex systems. A prime objective of the work was to develop an integrated CAE system for concurrent engineering and to investigate performance issues, including: Design management, productivity, modelling and simulation. The main aspects that are important in achieving total design integration have been considered and extensively studied, including: System functionality requirements, design flow, system integration, applications design, and data management. An integrated design environment has been developed utilising open architecture, commercial CAD systems and databases. An extensive range of design tools have been developed which facilitate the process of design and design management. Issues relating to transfer of data across domains (or disciplines) are addressed specifically. A "netlist" generating systems has been designed to facilitate data transfer between domains and from design to simulation. Several techniques have been assessed and fully functional system developed utilising database extraction. A database was used to assist in many areas, in particular, the strong need for efficient design data management. Various tools have been designed and developed to ensure that integration between the different environments is achieved and also to accommodate the needs of profile interchange between tools. The development of these tools comprises three major parts. In part 1, methods of design reports generation are described. Part 2 concerned with the design and development of data update tools. Part 3 is concerned with data manipulation. Design examples are used to demonstrate the performance of these tools. The work on implementing the graphical user interface (GUI) has produced a large variety of design tools and utilities. This work describes the design and development of these tools and their applications to perform design, modelling and simulation. Evaluation and performance of the software have been demonstrated based on a coupled example of electro-mechanical design. A set of design issues involving graphics constructions of both 2D schematics and 3D modelling, design tool capabilities, and design simulation was considered and performed. The results of this work have produced many specific design tools. In a broader sense, the research has examined key issues of design management in concurrent engineering and drawn important conclusions.

description: Analysis of the meiofaunal food web is hampered because few prey have features that persist long enough in a predator’s digestive tract to allow identification to species. Hence, at least for platyhelminth predators, direct observations of prey preference are almost nonexistent, and where they occur, prey identification is often limited to phylum. Studies using an in vitro approach are rare because they are extremely time-consuming and are subject to the criticism that predators removed from their natural environment may exhibit altered behaviors. Although PCR-based approaches have achieved wide application in food-web analysis, their application to meiofaunal flatworms suffers from a number of limitations. Most importantly, the microscopic size of both the predator and prey does not allow for removal of prey material from the digestive tract of the predator, and thus the challenge is to amplify prey sequences in the presence of large quantities of predator sequence. Here, we report on the successful use of prey-taxon-specific primers in diagnostic PCR to identify, to species level, specific prey items of 13 species of meiofaunal flatworms. Extension of this method will allow, for the first time, the development of a species-level understanding of trophic interactions among the meiofauna.

description: Spatial and temporal scales at which processes modulate genetic diversity over the landscape are usually overlooked, impacting the design of conservation management practices for widely distributed species. We examine processes shaping population divergence in highly mobile species by re-assessing the case of panmixia in the iconic olive ridley turtle from the eastern Pacific. We implemented a biophysical model of connectivity and a seascape genetic analysis based on nuclear DNA variation of 634 samples collected from 27 nesting areas. Two genetically distinct populations largely isolated during reproductive migrations and mating were detected, each composed of multiple nesting sites linked by high connectivity. This pattern was strongly associated with a steep environmental gradient and also influenced by ocean currents. These findings relate to meso-scales features of a dynamic oceanographic interface in the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) region, a scenario that possibly provides different cost–benefit solutions and selective pressures for sea turtles during both the mating and migration periods. We reject panmixia and propose a new paradigm for olive ridley turtles where reproductive isolation due to assortative mating is linked to its environment. Our study demonstrates the relevance of integrative approaches for assessing the role of environmental gradients and oceanographic currents as drivers of genetic differentiation in widely distributed marine species. This is relevant for the conservation management of species of highly mobile behaviour; and assists the planning and development of large-scale conservation strategies for the threatened olive ridley turtles in the ETP.

description: We show in many cases the existence of adjoints to extension of scalars on categories of motivic nature, in the framework of field extensions. This is to be contrasted with the more classical situation where one deals with a finite type morphism of schemes. Among various applications, one is a functorial construction of the "Tate-Safarevic motive" introduced in arXiv:1401.6847 [math.NT]. We also deduce a possible approach to Bloch's conjecture on surfaces, by reduction to curves.

description: A hollow fibre membrane was fabricated by blending polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with a triblock copolymer additive polymer that has both hydrophilic and oleophobic surface properties. The novel membrane was characterized and examined for oil/water separation under various system conditions, including different cross-flow rate, feed temperature, trans-membrane pressure, and its rejection and cleaning efficiency, etc. By applying the membrane into the filtration of synthesized oil/water emulsion, the membrane constantly achieved an oil rejection rate of above 99%, with a relatively constant permeate flux varied in the range of 68.9–59.0 l m−2 h−1. More importantly, the fouling of the used membrane can be easily removed by simple water flushing. The membrane also demonstrated a wide adaptability for different types of real oily wastewater, even at very high feed oil concentration (approx. 115 000 mg l−1 in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COM)). Hence, the novel triblock copolymer additive-modified PVDF membrane can have a great prospect in the continuing effort to expand the engineering application of polymeric membranes for oily wastewater treatment.

description: We investigate coherent matter wave transport in isotropic 3D speckle potentials by using the Bethe-Salper equation and the self-consistent theory of localization. This model constitutes an efficient tool to properly evaluate corrections to Boltzmann diffusion by taking into consideration quantum interference terms between the multiple-scattering paths. We calculate analytically and numerically the static current density, the density of states, the dipolar contribution and the reduced diffusion coefficient. Our results reveal that quantum corrections to diffusive transport, known as weak localization may not only lead to shift the above quantities but affect also the position of the mobility edge.

description: The igloo has characterised the career of the Turin artist Mario Merz ever since he joined Arte Povera. Since then, Merz has reproposed the form of the igloo in numerous variations, exhibiting them in the most important national and international museums. Over the years, statements by the artist himself and critical reflections have accumulated around this symbolic form, contributing to its conceptual complexity. However, in the artist’s poetics, the igloo is configured above all as a cultural archetype, a metaphor for human life and its basic needs. With the reinvention of the igloo, Merz makes an imaginary journey to the origins of culture by exploring the concepts of protection, survival and resistance in order to define it as a form of relationship with time. Starting from a contextualisation of the Merz igloo in the climate of Arte Povera and the related historical-stylistic issues, the contribution examines the symbolic and cosmological implications of Merz’s poetics, providing an alternative interpretation of the igloo to the dominant ideological one. This analysis makes use of a review of the critical literature on Merz’s poetics and igloos as well as a comparison with the meanings that emerged from the analysis of other cycles of works by the same artist.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The major causes of damages of concrete face rockfill dams (CFRD) is displacement of the dam body. Many historical evidence proved that when the settlement of dam crest is greater than 1% of the dam height, cracks on the face slab and openings occur which results in high leakage rate resulting in operation problem of the dam. In addition, several high CFRDs have experienced the cracking of the concrete face during first reservoir impounding. In this study, deformation characteristics of a concrete faced rock-fill dam (CFRD) of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam was investigated. Secondary data was used to model the foundation and embankment materials. Two-dimensional plane strain finite element analyses were carried out to assess the displacements in the dam both for construction and impoundment stages by using finite element method (FEM) computer program PLAXIS 2D. The hardening soil model is used to represent the nonlinear, inelastic and stress dependent behaviour of rock-fill materials and HoekBrown model to simulate the foundation rock and linear elastic model is used to represent the stress-strain behavior of face slab, Plinth, and access gallery.

description: This research aims to explore the feasibility of replacing fixed route transit (FRT) with route deviation demand responsive transit (RdDRT) in low passenger density areas. A multi-agent-based simulation model on AnyLogic platform is designed to assess the performance of RdDRT and FRT under different scenarios. This study also develops a vehicle operation simulation algorithm, that considers holding control and route deviation strategies. It is through checking the static and dynamic slack time, and remaining vehicle capacity to judge if there is a need to perform the dynamic routes. A real-world case of Shanghai bus No.66 is performed, and the simulation reveals that the combination of "small vehicle and large fleet size" is recommended for low passenger flow scenarios and the combination of "large vehicle and high-frequency departure" is recommended for high passenger flow scenarios.

description: We study the collective excitations of Na$_2$IrO$_3$ in an itinerant electron approach. We consider a multi-orbital tight-binding model with the electron transfer between the Ir $5d$ states mediated via oxygen $2p$ states and the direct $d$-$d$ transfer on a honeycomb lattice. The one-electron energy as well as the ground state energy are investigated within the Hartree-Fock approximation. When the direct $d$-$d$ transfer is weak, we obtain nearly flat energy bands due to the formation of quasimolecular orbitals, and the ground state exhibits the zigzag spin order. The evaluation of the density-density correlation function within the random phase approximation shows that the collective excitations emerge as bound states. For an appropriate value of the direct $d$-$d$ transfer, some of them are concentrated in the energy region $ω$ 350 meV (excitonic excitations). This behaviour is consistent with the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra. We also show that the larger values of the direct $d$-$d$ transfer are unfavourable in order to explain the observed aspects of Na$_2$IrO$_3$ such as the ordering pattern of the ground state and the excitation spectrum. These findings may indicate that the direct $d$-$d$ transfer is suppressed by the structural distortions in the view of excitation spectroscopy, as having been pointed out in the \it{ab initio} calculation.

description: L’analisi proposta è concernente gli scritti dello storico tedesco Heinrich Nissen sull’orientazione della città romana. Il suo Das Templum del 1869 ci porterà ad analizzare che cosa è lo spazio inaugurato – detto templum – dove i Romani interrogavano il divino. Nel libro di Nissen troviamo infatti la città immaginata come un templum, con il decumano, ovvero la via principale della città romana, orientato verso il sorgere del sole il giorno di fondazione. Vedremo anche come Nissen associ tale Dies Natalis ad una festa. Nissen è il primo ad aver associato decumano, sorgere del sole, e feste del calendario romano in un metodo che considera l’analisi astronomica delle orientazioni. Il Das Templum venne criticato in passato, con critiche ben fondate, che chiariscono che la città non è un templum e che pertanto non vi è alcuna necessità di orientazione astronomica del decumano. Nissen e le critiche sono state dimenticate. Nel 2007, un articolo di Giulio Magli, che ripropone, senza citare Nissen, il decumano orientato col sorgere del sole un dì di festa, ha portato ad un revival di ipotesi archeoastronomiche sulle città romane. Diventa pertanto fondamentale riesaminare il lavoro di Nissen e le successive critiche. In ogni caso, il lavoro di Heinrich Nissen è il primo studio di filologia Greca e Latina sull'orientazione solare che coinvolga puntualmente gli scritti degli agrimensori romani. Per quanto riguarda la città ed il pomerium, ampio spazio sarà dato al lavoro di Pierangelo Catalano, 1978, sugli aspetti spaziali del sistema giuridico-religioso romano.

description: We use a systematic effective field theory setup to derive the $b\bar{b}H$ production cross section. Our result combines the merits of both fixed 4-flavor and 5-flavor schemes. It contains the full 4-flavor result, including the exact dependence on the $b$-quark mass, and improves it with a resummation of collinear logarithms of $m_b/m_H$. In the massless limit, it corresponds to a reorganized 5-flavor result. While we focus on $b\bar{b}H$ production, our method applies to generic heavy-quark initiated processes at hadron colliders. Our setup resembles the variable flavor number schemes known from heavy-flavor production in deep-inelastic scattering, but also differs in some key aspects. Most importantly, the effective $b$-quark PDF appears as part of the perturbative expansion of the final result where it effectively counts as an $O(α_s)$ object. The transition between the fixed-order (4-flavor) and resummation (5-flavor) regimes is governed by the low matching scale at which the $b$-quark is integrated out. Varying this scale provides a systematic way to assess the perturbative uncertainties associated with the resummation and matching procedure and reduces by going to higher orders. We discuss the practical implementation and present numerical results for the $b\bar{b}H$ production cross section at NLO+NLL. We also provide a comparison to the corresponding predictions in the fixed 4-flavor and 5-flavor results and the Santander matching prescription. Compared to the latter, we find a slightly reduced uncertainty and a larger central value, with its central value lying at the lower edge of our uncertainty band.

description: Nowadays, progress in the determination of three-dimensional macromolecular structures from diffraction images is achieved partly at the cost of increasing data volumes. This is due to the deployment of modern high-speed, high-resolution detectors, the increased complexity and variety of crystallographic software, the use of extensive databases and high-performance computing. This limits what can be accomplished with personal, offline, computing equipment in terms of both productivity and maintainability. There is also an issue of long-term data maintenance and availability of structure-solution projects as the links between experimental observations and the final results deposited in the PDB. In this article, CCP4 Cloud, a new front-end of the CCP4 software suite, is presented which mitigates these effects by providing an online, cloud-based environment for crystallographic computation. CCP4 Cloud was developed for the efficient delivery of computing power, database services and seamless integration with web resources. It provides a rich graphical user interface that allows project sharing and long-term storage for structure-solution projects, and can be linked to data-producing facilities. The system is distributed with the CCP4 software suite version 7.1 and higher, and an online publicly available instance of CCP4 Cloud is provided by CCP4.

A method to efficiently simulate the thermodynamical properties of the Fermi-Hubbard model on a quantum computer

description: Many phenomena of strongly correlated materials are encapsulated in the Fermi-Hubbard model whose thermodynamical properties can be computed from its grand canonical potential according to standard procedures. In general, there is no closed form solution for lattices of more than one spatial dimension, but solutions can be approximated with cluster perturbation theory. To model long-range effects such as order parameters, a powerful method to compute the cluster's Green's function consists in finding its self-energy through a variational principle of the grand canonical potential. This opens the possibility of studying various phase transitions at finite temperature in the Fermi-Hubbard model. However, a classical cluster solver quickly hits an exponential wall in the memory (or computation time) required to store the computation variables. Here it is shown theoretically that that the cluster solver can be mapped to a subroutine on a quantum computer whose quantum memory scales as the number of orbitals in the simulated cluster. A quantum computer with a few tens of qubits could therefore simulate the thermodynamical properties of complex fermionic lattices inaccessible to classical supercomputers.

description: Introduction : La radiographie du thorax de profil est effectuée de manière quasiment systématique en complément de celle de face. Cependant, elle apporte une valeur diagnostique supplémentaire uniquement dans le cas d’indications cliniques précises et contribue toujours à une élévation de la dose au patient. Objectif : L’objectif de ce travail est de synthétiser les indications pour lesquelles cette radiographie devrait être réalisée, ainsi que d’identifier sa valeur diagnostique ajoutée à l’incidence de face pour les adultes et les enfants. Méthodologie : Critères d’inclusion : Tout patient qui effectue une radiographie du thorax avec un système « Direct Radiography » (DR) dans tout établissement de santé. Les sources incluent tous types de publications qui abordent le concept de la valeur diagnostique et les indications cliniques de l’incidence du thorax de profil. Recherche et sélection des documents : Les principales sources d’informations étaient Pubmed et Embase. Uniquement les articles datant à partir de 2010 et rédigés en français ou en anglais ont été inclus. Une équation de recherche a permis d’obtenir les articles dans les deux bases de données. Une première sélection a été effectuée sur la base du titre, suivie d’une sélection sur la base du texte intégral. Extraction et présentation des données : Les données ont été extraites des documents sélectionnés à l'aide d'un tableau d'extraction. Résultats : Onze articles ont été inclus. Des articles, des études de cas, des études originales et des études rétrospectives ont été identifiés. Ces onze articles ont tous été publiés entre 2011 et 2022. Les participants sont soit des hommes, soit des hommes et des femmes ou n’ont pas été précisés. Toutes les tranches d’âge ont été retrouvées. Les principales indications cliniques retrouvées sont : fractures sternales, corps étrangers, petits nodules pulmonaires, tuberculose, pathologies cardiaques, pneumopéritoines, lymphomes, fractures vertébrales et pneumonie. Conclusion : Ce travail a permis de lister les indications cliniques pour lesquelles la radiographie du thorax de profil apporte une valeur diagnostique supplémentaire. Ce travail a permis de mettre en lumière certaines lacunes dans les recherches, notamment sur la radiosensibilité supplémentaire des femmes, le manque de guidelines et d’indications cliniques étudiées chez les enfants. Les résultats permettent d’éclairer la pratique en indiquant pour quelles indications cette incidence devrait être réalisée.
