Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: With their advantages of low-cost, high-reliability and simplicity, external gear pumps (EGPs) are popular choices in many applications, such as mobile hydraulic control system, fuel injection, and liquid transportation system, to name a few. Like other positive displacement machines, EGPs are characterized by a flow non-uniformity, which is given by the gear meshing and results in vibrations and noises. With increasing demands for low-noise components required by modern fluid-power systems, new designs of external gear machines with less noise emission and lower pulsation production are highly desired by the industry.
To satisfy these demands, there are several new-generation gear pump designs that have been realized by the industry and already commercialized. However, the research from both academia on external gear pumps are still primarily focused traditional involute gear pumps, while state-of-the-art research on these new-generation external gear pumps are highly lacked. Also for the most novel designs recently released to the market, their designs still have large margin to improve, as some of the physics inside these gear machines are not well understood and formulated. The goal of this research is to fill in this gap, by gain understanding of the relations between design features and actual flow generated by such novel designs, and provide general methods of analysis and design for efficient and silent units.
To achieve this goal, this PhD dissertation presents a comprehensive approach of analysis for external gear pumps, with the emphasis on the new-generation helical gear pumps. The discussion covers a large variety of aspects for gear pump design and analysis, including: the analysis on the gear profile design and meshing, the displacement-chamber geometric modeling, and the kinematic-flow analysis. They are followed by a dynamic simulation model covering the dynamics of fluids, forces, and micro-motions, together with simulation results that provides the insights into the physics of new-generation gear machines. Multiple experimental results are provided, which show the validity of the simulation models by matching the pressure ripple measurement and the volumetric efficiencies. Furthermore, a linearized analysis on the ripple source of gear pumps are described, in order to provide the connection and understanding of the pump-generated ripple to the higher-level system analysis, which is also missing from the past academia research. In addition, the some of the models are utilized in optimization studies. These optimization results show the potentials of using the proposed approach of analysis to improve the existing designs as well as development of more efficient and silent units.

description: Digital humanists have a labor problem, but it's not what you might think. In this chapter, I describe the problem of student labor in digital humanities as I see it, and examine some of the structural issues that drive the use of student labor. I place the labor economy of digital humanities projects within the broader context of the innovation economy writ large to demonstrate how labor within the academy cannot operate under the same system of consensual participation which informs movements like crowdsourcing and crowdfunding. And in conclusion, I offer suggestions for how ethically managed student labor in the classroom can empower students to demonstrate both CV-ready skills and humanistic knowledge in durable products for which they receive full credit.

description: Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) represent a risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells or organs since they are integrated in the genome of all pigs and infect human cells in vitro. Recombinants between PERV-A and PERV-C have been described in pigs in vivo and found de novo integrated in the genome of somatic cells, but not in the germ line. To study whether PERV-A/C can infect and have a pathogenic effect in normal pigs, German landrace pigs were inoculated with high-titre PERV-A/C. No provirus integration was found in blood cells or in various tissues, and no antibody production was observed, indicating the absence of infection.

description: EPs® 7630 is an aqueous-ethanolic extract of the roots of Pelargonium sidoides, employed in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections. Its anti-infective activity is supposed to be associated with the activation of the nonspecific immune system. Using Leishmania major GFP-infected murine BMMΦ, the NO production of EPs® 7630-activated macrophages was correlated with the reduction of the GFP signal measured at single cell levels using flow cytometry. The anti-infectious effect of EPs® 7630 (3-10 µg/mL) on its own (NO production: 4-13 µM; signal reduction: 25-73 %) was less prominent than that in combination with IFN-γ (100 U/mL) (NO production: 20-27 µM; signal reduction: 35-78 %). Furthermore, supernatants of EPs® 7630-stimulated BMMΦ (10 µg/mL) significantly reduced the cytopathic effect of EMCV on L929 fibroblasts (antiviral activity 80 U/mL) when compared with an IFN-γ standard (100 U/mL). Direct addition of EPs® 7630 to L929 did not mediate cytoprotective effects. The antiviral components induced in BMMΦ by EPs® 7630 remain to be identified. Detection of any IFNs by ELISA was unsuccessful, which may be due to their very low concentrations in cell supernatants. The current data provide convincing support for the induction of anti-infectious responses by EPs® 7630.

Ultrasonically Controlled/Powered Implantable Medical Devices

Subjects: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Implantable biomedical devices have been widely used to treat a variety of diseases for many decades. If allowed by the size and form factor, batteries have been the power source of choice in implantable devices (e.g., cardiac pacemakers). Batteries are, however, still big and come in shapes that are not ideal for minimally invasive deployment. Inductive powering is another commonly used energy source in which two well-aligned coils allow a transmitter to power the implanted receiver (e.g., cochlear implants). Once the receiver coil becomes small (mm-scale), the inductive powering link becomes very inefficient and sensitive to slight misalignment between the coils. Hence, it becomes increasingly difficult to power small devices implanted deep (>5 cm) within the tissue using inductive powering. Ultrasonic powering is an attractive alternative for powering miniature devices since it can penetrate deep into the tissue, it has greater efficiency at mm-scale receiver size, it can be omni-directional, and it is more amenable to miniaturization. In this dissertation, I describe the use of ultrasonic waves to power and control mm-scale implantable devices. After a detailed look at ultrasonic transmission link, I will discuss factors affecting the power transfer efficiency. These include the effect of receiver aspect ratio and size on the resonant frequency and factors related to acoustic and electrical matching. A 3D printed acoustic matching layer in then described. I will discuss two applications using ultrasound to power and control implantable devices. The first is a low-power on-off acoustic control scheme to reduce the standby power consumption in implantable devices. The second is an ultrasonically powered electrolytic ablator with an on-board micro-light-source for the treatment of cancer.

description: Neutrophils, contributing to approximately 40%-70% of white blood cells in mammals, are the most abundant type of leukocytes in human circulation. As critical effector cells in innate immunity, neutrophils form the first line of host defense against microbes and are the first immune cells recruited to an inflamed tissue. The pathogen phagocytosis, release of reactive chemicals and proteases, and formation of extracellular traps are the key weapons of neutrophils in host defense. However, neutrophils also contribute to collateral tissue damage when performing their antimicrobial functions. The destructive potential of neutrophils requires the tight regulation of their activation and recruitment. In this study, we found that miR-223 in epithelial cells controls neutrophil response to inflammation through regulating the activation of NF-kB. As fast moving cells, neutrophils rely on glycolysis for energy production. The function of mitochondria in neutrophil motility is unknown. We demonstrated that mitochondria play an indispensable role in neutrophil migration: the biogenesis of mitochondria, mitochondrial ROS and the interaction between mitochondria and ER are all involved in maintaining the movement of neutrophils.

description: This essay explores the radical subjectivism of Oscar Wilde's novella "The Portrait of Mr. W.H." (1889/1921), which celebrates the creative potential of nonessentialist forms of identity and yet cautions against jettisoning humanist notions of selfhood entirely. I contend that Wilde turned to G. W. F. Hegel's performative theory of lyric negativity to advance his homoerotic reading of William Shakespeare's sonnets. This reading expresses the insight Wilde gains from Hegel's theory: namely, that language's limited ability to capture the truth of erotic desire need not undermine the fundamental perdurability of individual subjectivity. In contrast to much recent work in queer theory, Wilde's novella demonstrates the ability of homoerotic desire to ground, rather than undermine, a notion of reflective freedom.

description: AlGaN/GaN HEMTs are now being realized as the future of semiconductor industry post Silicon. The RF modeling of III-V HEMTs in general has been a research topic since 1980's, however, to author's knowledge, High Voltage (HV) modeling of III-V power HEMTs has hitherto been a relatively uncharted territory. Although, various companies manufacturing these power III-V HEMTs do provide compact models with their PDKs for integrated devices or as standalone models for packaged (discrete) devices, they were found to be heavily inuenced by the Low Voltage (LV) or RF modeling procedures that have been established over the years. The aim of this thesis is to venture into the compact modeling of both power (HV) and LV AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, at times using the excellence of methods and strategies that have been developed and frequently used for LV and RF compact modeling, i.e. not dropping them altogether, and then adding improvisations on top of it to produce a robust modeling approach towards power III-V HEMTs, with power AlGaN/GaN HEMTs as an example.
In particular, the work done in this thesis covers DC, pulsed DC, part RF (S-parameter), large-signal, statistical, trap, extreme environment (temperature and radiation) and p-GaN layer charge modeling of both HV/LV AlGaN/GaN HEMTs. This work can be treated either as a research output, guiding the design and modeling of newer AlGaN/GaN HV/LV HEMTs or as a general guiding principle for future HV/LV FET compact modeling, i.e., the models and methods developed in this work can be further applied to other HV devices such as LD MOS, HV MOSFETs and HV HEMTs/FETs present in various upcoming power semiconductor technologies such as SiC.
DECENTRALIZED PRICE-DRIVEN DEMAND RESPONSE IN SMART ENERGY GRID

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Other engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Real-time pricing (RTP) of electricity for consumers has long been argued to be crucial for realizing the many envisioned benefits of demand flexibility in a smart grid. However, many details of how to actually implement a RTP scheme are still under debate. Since most of the organized wholesale electricity markets in the US implement a two-settlement mechanism, with day-ahead electricity price forecasts guiding financial and physical transactions in the next day and real-time ex post prices settling any real-time imbalances, it is a natural idea to let consumers respond to the day-ahead prices in real-time. However, if such an idea is not controlled properly, the inherent closed-loop operation may lead consumers to all respond in the same fashion, causing large swings of real-time demand and prices, which may jeopardize system stability and increase consumers’ financial risks.
 To overcome the potential uncertainties and undesired demand peak caused by “selfish” behaviors by individual consumers under RTP, in this research, we develop a fully decentralized price-driven demand response (DR) approach under game- theoretical frameworks. In game theory, agents usually make decisions based on their belief about competitors’ states, which needs to maintain a large amount of knowledge and thus can be intractable and implausible for a large population. Instead, we propose using regret-based learning in games by focusing on each agent’s own history and utility received. We study two learning mechanisms: bandit learning with incomplete information feedback, and low regret learning with full information feedback. With the learning in games, we establish performance guarantees for each individual agent (i.e., regret minimization) and the overall system (i.e., bounds on price of anarchy).
 In addition to the game-theoretical framework for price-driven demand response, we also apply such a framework for peer-to-peer energy trading auctions. The market- based approach can better incentivize the development of distributed energy resources (DERs) on demand side. However, the complexity of double-sided auctions in an energy market and agents’ bounded rationality may invalidate many well-established theories in auction design, and consequently, hinder market development. To address these issues, we propose an automated bidding framework based on multi-armed bandit learning through repeated auctions, and is aimed to minimize each bidder’s cumulative regret. We also use such a framework to compare market outcomes of three different auction designs.

description: Point of care (POC) diagnosis is essential in personalized treatment to obtain effective clinical outcomes when the patient is on site. And Mass spectrometry (MS) system promotes the applications of rapid sampling ionization, which could be a tool for fast disease determination. In this thesis, a miniature MS system was firstly developed for POC tissue analysis. Lipid profile in rat organs were demonstrated. By coupling with online Paternò–Büchi (PB) reaction, fast determination of lipid C=C bond location isomers was realized. The system was applied to quantitatively analyze the change of lipid C=C location isomers between mouse normal and cancerous samples. The intensity ratio of fatty acid 18:1 (D9) and 18:1 (D11) in wild type breast tissue was calculated to be 2.881, while the ratio in tumor breast tissue was 0.667. The direct sampling-based miniature MS system is potential for POC analysis of lipid profiles and lipid biomarkers discovery. Secondly, an integration of paper-capillary spray and MS make it possible to analyze dried blood samples instantly in clinical laboratory and hospital. Quantitation of ratio between deuterate Phenylalanine and deuterate Tyrosine was achieved by using paper spray and paper-capillary spray MS directly, without any pretreatment of blood samples. Furthermore, these methods could generate calibration curves which enable the calculation of Phenylalanine concentration in whole human blood within 60 seconds. This disposable design is a promising application for point-of-care (POC) PKU analysis in newborn screening. At last, an increased in free fatty acids (FFAs) of cereals was observed during storage, and a simple and direct rice quality assessment was performed using nanoESI (Nano-Electrospray Ionization) mass spectrometry method. Six fatty acids including palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids were compared between different rice species, growth regions and harvest years. 2D and 3D linear discriminant analysis (LDA) methods were deployed and a good sample separation was achieved. This direct sampling method of extracting FAs from rice surface combined with MS is suitable for industrial use in rapid identification for large number of samples.

description: The problem of occupant activity recognition has gained in relevance due to demographic shifts and growing environmental concerns where context-sensitive applications promise to help. The prevalent approach to this problem is based around the use of supervised machine learning, which faces challenges due to its requirement for large amounts of annotated training data and its tendency to overfit. Using preexisting common sense or expert knowledge, usually in the form of ontologies, presents another option, but carries its own set of shortcomings. Recently, the usage of hierarchical task network planning as an alternative to this ontological approach has been proposed. Hybrid systems that utilize both machine learning and preexisting knowledge promise to preserve the strength of both approaches while alleviating their drawbacks. We propose a new hybrid occupant activity system using hierarchical task network planning to support the training of a Hidden Markov Model, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been done before. In addition, we evaluate the system on real sensor data in order to find out how much merits this new design has. Hereby we attempt and compare multiple approaches to the problem. Although not all methods improve the performance, the results show that the basic idea is sound and can generate measurable improvements.
description: Die Problemstellung der Insassenaktivitätserkennung hat aufgrund des demografischen Wandels und wachsender Besorgnis über die Umwelt an Relevanz gewonnen, da kontextsensitive Anwendungen versprechen, in diesen Anwendungsfeldern Abhilfe zu leisten. Der vorherrschende Ansatz an die Problemstellung basiert auf überwachtem Maschinenlernen, welcher allerdings durch den großen Bedarf an kommentierten Trainingsdaten und seine Tendenz zur Überanpassung herausgefordert wird. Eine andere Option ist die Nutzung von gesundem Menschenverstand oder Expertenwissen, gewöhnlich in der Form von Ontologien, welche allerdings eigene Schwachstellen aufweist. Vor kurzer Zeit wurde die Benutzung von hierarchischem Aufgabennetzwerkplanen als Alternative zu diesem ontologischen Ansatz vorgeschlagen. Hybride Systeme, welche sowohl Maschinenlernen als auch präexistentes Wissen benutzen, versprechen die Stärken beider Ansätze zu bewahren, während ihre Schwächen verringert werden. Wir schlagen ein neues hybrides System zur Insassenaktivitätserkennung vor, welches das Training eines verdeckten Markowmodells durch hierarchisches Aufgabennetzwerkplanen unterstützt. Dies wurde, nach unserem besten Wissen, bisher noch nicht umgesetzt. Zusätzlich evaluieren wir das System auf echten Sensordaten, um die Leistung dieses neuen Designs zu überprüfen. Dabei testen und vergleichen wir mehrere Ansätze an das Problem. Auch wenn nicht alle Methoden die Leistung erhöhen, zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Grundidee sinnvoll ist und messbare Verbesserungen hervorrufen kann.

description: This thematic session of the journal is devoted to expressions of creative writing inspired by monuments. Our aim is to understand how and why diverse re/constructions of their specific genesis, descriptions of architectural features, explanations of symbolism, histories of mentors, sponsors and artists generate over/interpretations in the form of essays, short stories, historical novels and poems. Each article will investigate the ways in which writers, while speculating on and verbally reconstructing a monument, can instil aesthetic and ideological appreciations. The narration of monuments will have been examined with particular reference to: - polysemantic buildings, rooted in a specific place and historical context, but also open to multiple intercultural elaborations; - modes of constructing, restructuring or contesting historical identities and cultural memories; - stimuli for the imagery, through which mythical figures and events are evoked.

description: This thesis investigates the effects of swashplate vibration and slipper surface geometry on the performance of the slipper-swashplate interface. The lubricating interfaces within a swashplate type axial piston machine are the most complicated part of the design process. These interfaces are supposed to provide support to the significant loads they experience during operation and to prevent continuous contact of the sliding surfaces. Therefore a proper slipper-swashplate interface design ensures full film lubrication during operation and provides sufficient load support while minimizing viscous and volumetric losses at the same time. The effects of two factors on the performance of the slipper-swashplate are examined during this work; swashplate vibration and slipper surface micro-geometry. An already existing model of the slipper-swashplate interface was used to carry out the results for this work however some modifications were made to the model to suit the needs of this research. Swashplate vibration is a phenomenon that has not been implemented in the model before, therefore its effects on the performance of the interface were analyzed. Thickness of the fluid film in the lubricating regime corresponds with its performance and is directly affected by the micro-geometry of the sliding interfaces. Therefore the effects of slipper surface micro-geometry is crucial to study in order to find the optimal slipper-swashplate interface design.

description: Die Internationalen Gesundheitsvorschriften (2005) (IGV) sind das zentrale völkerrechtliche Instrument im Zuständigkeitsbereich der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) für die Verhütung und Bekämpfung einer grenzüberschreitenden Ausbreitung von Krankheiten. Nach einem 10-jährigen Revisionsprozess hat sich die Völkergemeinschaft auf dieses moderne und flexible Vertragswerk geeinigt, das den Herausforderungen einer globalisierten Welt Rechnung trägt. Seit Juni 2007 sind die IGV für alle Mitgliedsstaaten der WHO völkerrechtlich verbindlich. Sie enthalten weitreichende Rechte und Pflichten der Vertragsstaaten sowie Aufgaben der WHO, die der nationalen und internationalen Surveillance, Risikobewertung sowie Krankheitsverhütung und -bekämpfung dienen. In Bezug auf die Surveillance besteht die zentrale Verplichtung der Vertragsstaaten, Ereignisse, die eine gesundheitliche Notlage von internationaler Tragweite darstellen können, der WHO zu melden. Diese Verpflichtung ist auch auf alle bisher unbekannten Risiken für die öffentliche Gesundheit anzuwenden, und zwar unter Berücksichtigung der jeweiligen Umstände, unter denen ein Ereignis auftritt. Zudem besteht die Forderung an alle Vertragsstaaten nach der Schaffung, Stärkung und Aufrechterhaltung von Strukturen des öffentlichen Gesundheitssystems, die ein effektives Surveillancesystem und die adäquate Reaktion auf Ereignisse, z. B. Krankheitsausbrüche, gewährleisten.
description: The International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) are a legally binding agreement that was adopted by all WHO Member States and which entered into force in June 2007. While taking the challenges of a globalized world into consideration, the purpose of the IHR (2005) is to provide a framework for international efforts to contain or reduce the risk from public health threats that may spread between countries. To this end, the IHR (2005) contain rights and obligations for the States and for WHO concerning national and international surveillance, assessment and public health response. With respect to surveillance, States are required to notify WHO of all events “that may constitute a public health emergency of international concern” according to agreed criteria. This obligation applies to novel or evolving public health risks, taking into account the context in which the event occurs. The IHR (2005) also contain obligations regarding global preparedness to address public health threats which include the establishment of national capacity to both detect and respond to events by June 2012.
