description: In the aeronautical industry, there is an increasing need for lightweight composites above all for the internal design. In this regard, the final products should not contain any inclusion of foreign material in order to not compromise both the aesthetical beauty and the mechanical properties subjected to vibrational loads. In this work, the infrared thermography (IRT) and the ultrasonic C-scan (UT) methods were used to retrieve the unknown positions of sub-superficial inserts in five lightweight composite panels. They were randomly inserted during the manufacturing stage. In particular, the samples investigated herein are three glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) and two carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) used as laminates or as skins for honeycombs. They were provided by the Società Elicotteristica Italiana (S.E.I.), Monteprandone (Italy). An example is reported in Fig. 1. It shows both the schematization of the cross-section and the front view of a honeycomb core (HC) covered with two skins of GFRP. Figure 1. An example of HC covered with two skins of GFRP investigated herein. In this case, the inner defects are unperceivable to the naked eye. A comparison between two different approaches centered on square pulse and flash thermographic scenarios is reported. The raw thermograms were processed by using advanced techniques such as the principal component thermography (PCT) and the partial least square thermography (PLST) which enhanced the visibility of the defects. In addition, the UT method applied both in reflection and in transmission modes were showed interesting advantages from a diagnostic point-of-view above all when its results are compared with the thermographic results. Fig. 2 shows the clear detection (see the blue area) of a defect realized in plastic material, having an unknown size, and positioned inside the HC. Figure 2. An example of UT and IRT results inherent to the sample reported in Fig. 1 Pros and cons of both methods when applied on lightweight composite panels will be in-depth explained into the final manuscript.

description: Recent national surveys suggest that child obesity in the United States may have reached a plateau, but corresponding trends in energy intake have not been examined in depth. This article evaluates medium-term trends in children’s reported energy intake by using 4 waves of national dietary surveillance from 2003–2004 to 2009–2010. The analysis uses up to 2 24-h dietary recalls, incorporating methods that address challenges in estimating usual intake, accounting for intraindividual variance and covariates such as the presence of atypical consumption days. Quantile regression was used to assess disparities in intake among sociodemographic subgroups at extremes of the distribution as well as at the median, and the potential influence of misreporting was evaluated. Results indicated that after an initial decline in intakes across all age groups through 2007–2008, there were significant increases of ∼90 kcal/d at the median among adolescents in 2009–2010, whereas intakes in younger children remained steady. Among adolescent boys, the recent increase was larger at the 90th percentile than at the median. Intake trends did not vary by race/ethnic group, among whom intakes were similar at the upper end of the distribution. Misreporting did not influence trends over time, but intakes were lower in younger children and higher in older children after excluding misreporters. Overall, findings suggest that declines in children’s energy intake from 2003–2004 through 2007–2008 were consistent with the obesity plateau observed in most age and gender subgroups through 2009–2010. However, there is evidence of increased intakes among adolescents in 2009–2010, which may threaten the earlier abatement in overweight in this older age group.

description: We analyze relations between BPS degeneracies related to Labastida-Marino-Ooguri-Vafa (LMOV) invariants, and algebraic curves associated to knots. We introduce a new class of such curves that we call extremal A-polynomials, discuss their special properties, and determine exact and asymptotic formulas for the corresponding (extremal) BPS degeneracies. These formulas lead to nontrivial integrality statements in number theory, as well as to an improved integrality conjecture stronger than the known M-theory integrality predictions. Furthermore we determine the BPS degeneracies encoded in augmentation polynomials and show their consistency with known colored HOMFLY polynomials. Finally we consider refined BPS degeneracies for knots, determine them from the knowledge of super-A-polynomials, and verify their integrality. We illustrate our results with twist knots, torus knots, and various other knots with up to 10 crossings.

description: E-government involves utilizing technology to provide information and deliver governmental services to employees, citizens, and businesses. Developing countries implementing e-government should aim to keep pace with rapid technological advances tocontinuously improve their systems and enhance the services offered to citizens through government portals in an efficient manner requiring minimal time and effort. However, many developing nations, especially many Arabic countries, face numerous challenges in implementing and adopting e-government initiatives. This paper examines the concept, sectors, and definition of e-government, along with the potential benefits. It then discusses the current status of e-government in Iraq, focusing on the issues and obstaclesimpacting the further development of e-government systems in the country. The goal is to provide an overview of e-government and its applications while analysing the specific difficulties Iraq faces in advancing its e-government efforts toidentify strategies to overcome these barriers

description: We describe a new method of combining optical and infrared photometry to select Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) at redshifts $z > 0.6$. We explore this technique using a combination of optical photometry from CFHTLS and HST, infrared photometry from the WISE satellite, and spectroscopic or photometric redshifts from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey or COSMOS. We present a variety of methods for testing the success of our selection, and present methods for optimization given a set of rest-frame color and redshift requirements. We have tested this selection in two different regions of the sky, the COSMOS and Extended Groth Strip (EGS) fields, to reduce the effect of cosmic/sample variance. We have used these methods to assemble large samples of LRGs for two different ancillary programs as a part of the SDSS-III/ BOSS spectroscopic survey. This technique is now being used to select $\sim$600,000 LRG targets for SDSS-IV/eBOSS, which began observations in Fall 2014, and will be adapted for the proposed DESI survey. We have found these methods can select high-redshift LRGs efficiently with minimal stellar contamination; this is extremely difficult to achieve with selections that rely on optical photometry alone.

description: Centrality is one of the most studied concepts in social network analysis. There is a huge literature regarding centrality measures, as ways to identify the most relevant users in a social network. The challenge is to find measures that can be computed efficiently, and that can be able to classify the users according to relevance criteria as close as possible to reality. We address this problem in the context of the Twitter network, an online social networking service with millions of users and an impressive flow of messages that are published and spread daily by interactions between users. Twitter has different types of users, but the greatest utility lies in finding the most influential ones. The purpose of this article is to collect and classify the different Twitter influence measures that exist so far in literature. These measures are very diverse. Some are based on simple metrics provided by the Twitter API, while others are based on complex mathematical models. Several measures are based on the PageRank algorithm, traditionally used to rank the websites on the Internet. Some others consider the timeline of publication, others the content of the messages, some are focused on specific topics, and others try to make predictions. We consider all these aspects, and some additional ones. Furthermore, we include measures of activity and popularity, the traditional mechanisms to correlate measures, and some important aspects of computational complexity for this particular context.

description: Adaptation of the Hamilton--Jacobi formalism to quantum mechanics leads to a cocycle condition, which is invariant under $D$--dimensional Möbius transformations with Euclidean or Minkowski metrics. In this paper we aim to provide a pedagogical presentation of the proof of the Möbius symmetry underlying the cocycle condition. The Möbius symmetry implies energy quantization and undefinability of quantum trajectories, without assigning any prior interpretation to the wave function. As such, the Hamilton--Jacobi formalism, augmented with the global Möbius symmetry, provides an alternative starting point, to the axiomatic probability interpretation of the wave function, for the formulation of quantum mechanics and the quantum spacetime. The Möbius symmetry can only be implemented consistently if spatial space is compact, and correspondingly if there exist a finite ultraviolet length scale. Evidence for non--trivial space topology may exist in the cosmic microwave background radiation.

description: Uranium (U) isotopes are suggested to monitor the success of (bio)remediation relying on the reduction of soluble and mobile U(VI) to less soluble U(IV)1. However, the subsurface stability of U(IV), typically present as solid-phase non-crystalline U, may be affected by complexation or oxidation. Understanding these processes and their impact on U isotope fractionation is important to correctly interpret field U isotope signatures. We investigated U mobilization by complexation and oxidation and measured the associated U isotope fractionation in laboratory batch experiments. Non-crystalline U(IV) was produced as the starting material by reducing a U(VI) isotope standard with Shewanella oneidensis MR-12. Subsequently, U(IV) was mobilized: 1) anoxically, with ligands (EDTA, citrate, or bicarbonate), 2) by oxidation with Fe(III), or 3) with molecular oxygen at low pH in the presence of the bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. All ligands mobilized U(IV) and enriched 238U in the complexed fraction (δ238U: 0.2 to 0.6 ‰). Oxidative U mobilization both, with Fe(III) or with At. ferrooxidans biomass, resulted in insignificant U isotope fractionation. Either isotope fractionation during all involved reaction steps was very small or cancelled eachother out. The latter may be indicated by the observation of high aqueous δ238U values (~0.8 ‰) in corresponding abiotic control experiments (without biomass), which may be the result of adsorption effects after oxidative U mobilization.

description: Time delayed feedback control is one of the most successful methods to discover dynamically unstable features of a dynamical system in an experiment. This approach feeds back only terms that depend on the difference between the current output and the output from a fixed time T ago. Thus, any periodic orbit of period T in the feedback controlled system is also a periodic orbit of the uncontrolled system, independent of any modelling assumptions. It has been an open problem whether this approach can be successful in general, that is, under genericity conditions similar to those in linear control theory (controllability), or if there are fundamental restrictions to time-delayed feedback control. We show that there are no restrictions in principle. This paper proves the following: for every periodic orbit satisfying a genericity condition slightly stronger than classical linear controllability, one can find control gains that stabilise this orbit with extended time-delayed feedback control. While the paper's techniques are based on linear stability analysis, they exploit the specific properties of linearisations near autonomous periodic orbits in nonlinear systems, and are, thus, mostly relevant for the analysis of nonlinear experiments.

description: Since 1980, the global prevalence of obesity has doubled; in the United States, it has almost tripled. Billions of people are overweight and obese; the WHO reports that >65% of the world’s population die of diseases related to overweight rather than underweight. Obesity is a complex disease that can be studied from “metropolis to metabolite”—that is, beginning at the policy and the population level through epidemiology and intervention studies; to bench work including preclinical models, tissue, and cell culture studies; to biochemical assays; and to metabolomics. Metabolomics is the next research frontier because it provides a real-time snapshot of biochemical building blocks and products of cellular processes. This report comments on practical considerations when conducting metabolomics research. The pros and cons and important study design concerns are addressed to aid in increasing metabolomics research in the United States. The link between metabolism and inflammation is an understudied phenomenon that has great potential to transform our understanding of immunometabolism in obesity, diabetes, cancer, and other diseases; metabolomics promises to be an important tool in understanding the complex relations between factors contributing to such diseases.

description: Within the natural language processing (NLP) community, active learning has been widely investigated and applied in order to alleviate the annotation bottleneck faced by developers of new NLP systems and technologies. This paper presents the first theoretical analysis of stopping active learning based on stabilizing predictions (SP). The analysis has revealed three elements that are central to the success of the SP method: (1) bounds on Cohen's Kappa agreement between successively trained models impose bounds on differences in F-measure performance of the models; (2) since the stop set does not have to be labeled, it can be made large in practice, helping to guarantee that the results transfer to previously unseen streams of examples at test/application time; and (3) good (low variance) sample estimates of Kappa between successive models can be obtained. Proofs of relationships between the level of Kappa agreement and the difference in performance between consecutive models are presented. Specifically, if the Kappa agreement between two models exceeds a threshold T (where $T>0$), then the difference in F-measure performance between those models is bounded above by $\frac{4(1-T)}{T}$ in all cases. If precision of the positive conjunction of the models is assumed to be $p$, then the bound can be tightened to $\frac{4(1-T)}{(p+1)T}$.

description: Eight N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate and N-acetylgalactosamine-1-phosphate analogs have been synthesized chemically and were tested for their recognition by the GlmU uridyltransferase enzyme. Among these, only substrates that have an amide linkage to the C-2 nitrogen were transferred by GlmU to afford their corresponding uridine diphosphate(UDP)-sugar nucleotides. Resin-immobilized GlmU showed comparable activity to non-immobilized GlmU and provides a more facile final step in the synthesis of an unnatural UDP-donor. The synthesized unnatural UDP-donors were tested for their activity as substrates for glycosyltransferases in the preparation of unnatural glycosaminoglycans in vitro. A subset of these analogs was useful as donors, increasing the synthetic repertoire for these medically important polysaccharides.

description: The final step in the degradation of heparin sulfate involves the enzymatic hydrolysis of its 2-sulfamido groups. To evaluate the power of the corresponding sulfamidases as catalysts, we examined the reaction of N-neopentyl sulfamate at elevated temperatures and found it to undergo specific acid catalyzed hydrolysis even at alkaline pH. A rate constant of 10−16 s−1 was calculated using the Eyring equation for water attack on the N-protonated species at pH 7, 25 °C. As a model for the pH neutral reaction, a rate constant for hydroxide attack on (CH3)3CCH2N+H2SO3− at pH 7, 25 °C was calculated to be 10−19 s−1. The corresponding rate enhancement (kcat/knon) produced by the N-sulfamidase of F. heparinum is approximately 1016-fold, which is somewhat larger than those generated by most hydrolytic enzymes but considerably smaller than those generated by S-O cleaving sulfatases.

description: We provide a comprehensive characterization of the activity of present-day S0s throughout both the broad-band PC1--PC2 spectral classifier and the conventional narrow-line BPT/WHAN ones, contrasting the different types of activity classes they define, and present an alternative diagram that exploits the concordance between WHAN and PCA demarcations. The analysis is extended to the mid-infrared, radio and X-ray wavelengths by crossmatching our core sample with data from the WISE, FIRST, XMM--Newton, and Chandra surveys. This has allowed us to carry out a thorough comparison of the most important activity diagnostics in the literature over different wavebands, discuss their similarities and differences, and explore the connections between them and with parameters related to star formation and black hole accretion. We find evidence that the bulk of nebular emission from radio and X-ray detected S0--Seyfert and LINER systems is not driven by star birth, while the dominant ionising radiation for a number of LINERs might come from post-AGB stars. These and other outcomes from the present work should be transferable to other morphologies.

description: The talk in which these slides were presented discusses how transdisciplinary research that draws from philosophy, somatic practices, neuroscience, and technology design culminated in the creation of a device for facilitating body awareness. The device—called Haplós—is a novel, wearable, programmable, remotely controlled technology using vibrating motors that Diego developed as part of his research at CogNovo, a Marie Curie Actions-funded project at Plymouth University, UK, that focused on interdisciplinary research on creativity and cognition. Based on the experience of developing Haplós, strategies are suggested for facilitating transdisciplinary research in the local context of the Philippines.

A Causal, Data-Driven Approach to Modeling the Kepler Data

description: Astronomical observations are affected by several kinds of noise, each with its own causal source; there is photon noise, stochastic source variability, and residuals coming from imperfect calibration of the detector or telescope. The precision of NASA Kepler photometry for exoplanet science---the most precise photometric measurements of stars ever made---appears to be limited by unknown or untracked variations in spacecraft pointing and temperature, and unmodeled stellar variability. Here we present the Causal Pixel Model (CPM) for Kepler data, a data-driven model intended to capture variability but preserve transit signals. The CPM works at the pixel level so that it can capture very fine-grained information about the variation of the spacecraft. The CPM predicts each target pixel value from a large number of pixels of other stars sharing the instrument variabilities while not containing any information on possible transits in the target star. In addition, we use the target star's future and past (auto-regression). By appropriately separating, for each data point, the data into training and test sets, we ensure that information about any transit will be perfectly isolated from the model. The method has four hyper-parameters (the number of predictor stars, the auto-regressive window size, and two L2-regularization amplitudes for model components), which we set by cross-validation. We determine a generic set of hyper-parameters that works well for most of the stars and apply the method to a corresponding set of target stars. We find that we can consistently outperform (for the purposes of exoplanet detection) the Kepler Pre-search Data Conditioning (PDC) method for exoplanet discovery.

Effect Of Reaction Temperature On The Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Of Biodiesel Produced From Waste Cooking Oil Using A Heterogenous Catalyst
Creators: name: Nigerian Institution of Professional Engineers and Scientist
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The increasing demand for energy and the consequent fossil fuel reserves has led to the search for alternative fuels which are renewable and sustainable. Biodiesel a renewable fuel has proven to be a suitable alternative in combustion engine compared to the petro-diesel because of its biodegradability and smoother combustibility. Transesterification of waste cooking oil to biodiesel was carried out with methanol to oil molar ratio of 8:1 using activated carbon from coconut shell as catalyst. The temperature of the reaction was varied. The total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) of the biodiesel produced were determined at reaction temperatures of 400C, 500C and 600C,while biodiesel properties produced at 400C, 450C, 500C, 550C and 600C were also determined. The concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbon for biodiesel at temperatures of 400C, 500C and 600C were 1652.65, 9629.803 and 9608.752 respectively. Total petroleum hydrocarbon explains the nature of the oil used in the transesterification and hence the quality of the biodiesel produced. Higher temperature above 500C does not favor the presence of some hydrocarbon in the fuel produced. The properties of the biodiesel produced conform to ASTMD 6751
