description: It is well known that there are four structural actions like axial force, shear, bending and torsion are developed with respect to their nature of loading on the structure. Torsion is always considered as a secondary effect up to 1960’s. After that we proceed from working stress method to limit state method and shall go to ultimate load one to reduce the factor of safety. Also the novel structures are designed by Architects, designers having attractive overhanging components prone to torsion effect in the structures. Concrete is probably the most used man made construction material in the world. Concrete is homogenous in nature and strong to resist compression but posses Quassi brittleness in tensile strength such deficiency can overcome by introduction of fibers in the body of concrete. Since from last three decades a lot of research has been done on fiber reinforced concrete subjected to pure torsion but if fibers proportion is more, then difficulties in proper concreting get increased and chances of producing balling effect of fibers which affects the homogeneity of concrete. In other hand the considerable studies laid on FRP techniques by using Glass fibers, Carbon fibers and recently ferrocement jacking utilized for strengthen the existing structures subjected to predominant torsion effect. Although such techniques are very effective for existing structures but requires more additional cost for FRP materials with adhesive and also tend to fire except ferrocement jacketing. But such FRP techniques not overcome the inherent weakness of concrete. However there is also way to utilization of encased Welded Wire mesh in the concrete due to its high tensile strength and can produced the micro cracks behaviour like fiber reinforced concrete for proposed new construction. Here is an attempt to study the behaviour of encased Welded Wire mesh in the concrete subjected to pure torsion.

description: Encroachment of technology has replaced individuals in almost every field with machines. By introducing machines, automation system has reduced human workload, with specially focused on visually impaired person or completely blind person find difficulties in reading a printing or handwritten text from real world or distinguishing people in front of them. So, they cannot perform particular tasks without someone’s assistance or help. Hence looking at this challenge, it is necessary to make the reading device for blind people which is capable of recognizing text, human objects and, differentiate the bank currencies across the world. Obviously, Output will be in the form of audio, which will help the blind user to read the texture like a normal person. To overcome this difficulty for the visually weakened group, this paper presents a device which will help blind people for giving them guidance efficiently and safely to read book, recognize faces of their near and dear ones as well recognize different bank currencies. In this paper, we propose a deep neural network algorithm like CNN integrating with OCR model achieves a recognition accuracy of 95% for human detection and 90% for disgusting bank currencies.

description: We consider the ambitwistor description of N=4 supersymmetric extension of U(N) Yang-Mills theory on Minkowski space R3,1. It is shown that solutions of super-Yang-Mills equations are encoded in real analytic U(N)-valued functions on a domain in superambitwistor space LR5|6 of real dimension (5|6). This leads to a procedure for generating solutions of super-Yang-Mills equations on R3,1 via solving a Riemann-Hilbert-type factorization problem on two-spheres in LR5|6.

description: Indian National highway network consists of only 2% of the whole road network, but it still carries 40% of the traffic, which might be causing road accidents on National Highways. Even newly constructed National highways getting tolls for their use are also suffering from accident occurrence on them. One such stretch, originating from Godhra and ending in GujaratMP border (length 91.91 km), is also suffering from an increase in accidents over the years. This road is connecting Gujarat state with two adjoining states named Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Due to high access density, conflict points have increased on this highway and subsequently cause accidents. It is necessary to find black spots for such roads through available accident records. In India, the accident data is being recorded by the concerned Police station through First Inspection Reports (FIRs), wherein very minimal details are collected. For identification of Black spots, it is necessary to locate the place where accidents took place. So, before collecting the Accident FIR data from the police station, a field videographic survey of the stretch in both directions was conducted, and all-important locations like median breaks, access points, petrol pumps, restaurants, village access roads, etc. have been noted according to project chainage for determining the exact location of the Accident. The accident records for the toll road were used to convert the accident locations into proper chainage locations using field book data of the videographic road survey. After deciding the chainage of each accident location, the accident data was entered in excel sheets and arranged chainagewise. Black spots were identified according to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) criteria. There were sixteen black spots identified on this stretch from the study.

description: The plastic economy, despite offering unique properties in fulfilling the functions of products in different industrial sectors over decades, has so far been mainly linear, that is, “take-make and dispose” with only a small fraction of plastics being recycled worldwide. With ever-increasing circular economy initiatives and the urge to conserve resources and prevent plastic pollution from affecting ecosystems, more emphasis on the resource recovery of plastic products after its use has been made over the last few years. It is necessary for manufacturers to understand the value chain as early as the design phase while manufacturing and distributing plastic products across the world. The current study provides an overview of the status quo of plastic waste management and analyzes the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of different End-of-Life (EoL) options for plastics. Based on the LCA studies, a preliminary, country-specific Circular Footprint (CF) is calculated and Design for Recycling (DfR) strategies are identified. Results show that the environmental impacts of different EoL options differ significantly for different plastics. The CF highlights the lack of data regarding the composition and recovery of plastics in different countries thus showing the necessity to consider the whole lifecycle when quantifying the environmental impacts of plastics.

description: There are many incidents where bridges collapse before its life span is over or just after it is built or even during construction, so all this calls for its routine inspection and methods to do it as efficiently as possible. One of the methods to do an inspection is using a terrestrial laser scanner. This paper mainly focuses on studying the methodology for inspecting the bridges using a terrestrial laser scanner and Augmented Reality technology. In this paper, Laser scanning data was used to prepare Bridge Information Model and that model was further processed in Unity to create an Augmented Reality model. All this requires various data processing and post-processing. With the help of this model, one can do bridge inspection at the comfort of the office and reaching those inaccessible areas which are not possible to reach with traditional methods. This paper focuses on finding a different method or approach to do Bridge Information Modeling and get data of bridges for maintenance purposes. Visual inspection was carried out from the model without going to the site.

description: This paper focuses on democracy protests in developing countries and how they affect total and USAID foreign aid disbursements. I hypothesize that democratic donor countries decrease foreign aid to recipient countries after a democracy protest because the democracy protests signal that the country is politically unstable and experiencing democratic backsliding. However, opposed to my original hypotheses, the findings in this paper lend evidence to support the idea that a democracy protest is associated with an increase in foreign aid disbursements. For total foreign aid disbursements, these increases occur in the first two years after a democracy protest. USAID disbursements increase three to five years after a democracy protest, but this increase is dependent on the level of democratic stock in the recipient country. This signals that donors may have varying motivations when a democracy protest occurs. For some, stability, no matter the domestic politics of the recipient country motivates an increase in disbursements. For other countries, like the United States, democracy promotion remains at the center of foreign aid decisions.

Existing strategies for state estimation furnishes state estimation with computational multifaceted nature and time. Kalman and Particle Filter are the fundamental algorithms for state estimation of any Linear and Non-linear SHS. The measurements got by the sensors or any modules have limitation to provide accurate data. State estimation of any system with lossy data prone to inaccurate state estimation. In this paper, the Chi-square Statistics –Data Loss Detection (CS-DLD) algorithm based on Kalman Filter is proposed for of Stochastic Hybrid Dynamical Systems which detect the data loss and reconfigure the measurement for effective state estimation. The performance of the algorithm is checked by Linear Stochastics Hybrid System model of Aerial vehicle.

description: Recently, in crash analysis statistical tools greatly helped in predicting future consequences based on recent data by studying the influence factors in the form of independent variables which can have significant consequences on the dependent variable. Hence, the forecasting of crash prediction models has to be developed. In this study, the stretch of National Expressway-1 has been selected from Ahmedabad to Vadodara because around 1058 crashes and 50 deaths occurred every year. Traffic volume, Speed, and Road characteristics were used to develop the models. Two approaches were chosen for the prediction model namely, the Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) model and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. Both methods are used to determine the relationship between the influencing factors of crashes and the frequency of crash occurrence, compared and discovered that the ANN model gives much better results for the prediction of road crash than the MLR model in this study.

description: The first stars in the history of the Universe are likely to form in the dense central regions of 10^5-10^6 Msolar cold dark matter halos at z=10-50. The annihilation of dark matter particles in these environments may lead to the formation of so-called dark stars, which are predicted to be cooler, larger, more massive and potentially more long-lived than conventional population III stars. Here, we investigate the prospects of detecting high-redshift dark stars with the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We find that dark stars at z>6 are intrinsically too faint to be detected by JWST. However, by exploiting foreground galaxy clusters as gravitational telescopes, certain varieties of cool (Teff < 30000 K) dark stars should be within reach at redshifts up to z=10. If the lifetimes of dark stars are sufficiently long, many such objects may also congregate inside the first galaxies. We demonstrate that this could give rise to peculiar features in the integrated spectra of galaxies at high redshifts, provided that dark stars make up at least 1 percent of the total stellar mass in such objects.

description: In this paper we present an alternative viewpoint on recent studies of regularity of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in critical spaces. In particular, we prove that mild solutions which remain bounded in the space $\dot H^{1/2}$ do not become singular in finite time, a result which was proved in a more general setting by L. Escauriaza, G. Seregin and V. Sverak using a different approach. We use the method of "concentration-compactness" + "rigidity theorem" which was recently developed by C. Kenig and F. Merle to treat critical dispersive equations. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first instance in which this method has been applied to a parabolic equation. We remark that we have restricted our attention to a special case due only to a technical restriction, and plan to return to the general case (the $L^3$ setting) in a future publication.

In this paper, the entire test setup for conducted emission (CE) is made to measure the conducted voltage disturbance of Equipment Under Test (EUT) due to various DC sources with different percentage ripple factors used to supply. The measurement carried out in the frequency band 150kHz to 30MHz as per CISPR 11 [2]/ CISPR 22 [1]. The dominated DC source responsible for the significant conducted voltage disturbance measurement results are analyzed and to mitigate the conducted emission manoeuvring based on DC source is proposed. Practical measurement are used to validate the mitigation method.

It is also essential that from where the finance come from and how to manage the available finance and have a track on it. To track them cash flow is used and to manage accounting is foremost. In which earned value and break-even point is comes handy. Earned-value analysis helps to identify the project status depending on the cost and schedule variance and performance index. Delays in construction projects are a common phenomenon and a costly issue. The underlying triggers and discusses effective preventive measures for disruptions in the financial phase. Four main reasons have been identified: late payment, weak cash flow control, insufficient financial capital, and financial market volatility. In which weak cash flow control is the most important factor contributing to a pause in the project, accompanied by late payment, scarce financial capital, and financial sector volatility.

description: On the seven dimensional Euclidean sphere S7 we compare two subriemannian structures with regards to various geometric and analytical properties. The first structure is called trivializable and the underlying distribution HT is induced by a Clifford module structure of R8. More precisely, HT is rank 4, bracket generating of step two and generated by globally defined vector fields. The distribution HQ of the second structure is of rank 4 and step two as well and obtained as the horizontal distribution in the quaternionic Hopf fibration S3↪ S7→ S4. Answering a question in: Markina and Godoy Molina (Rev Mat Iberoam 27(3), 997–1022, 2011) we first show that HQ does not admit a global nowhere vanishing smooth section. In both cases we determine the Popp measures [20], the intrinsic sublaplacians ΔsubT and ΔsubQ and the nilpotent approximations. We conclude that both subriemannian structures are not locally isometric and we discuss properties of the isometry group. By determining the first heat invariant of the sublaplacians it is shown that both structures are also not isospectral in the subriemannian sense.

description: This paper presents a discrete sliding mode controller for higher order systems without using model order reduction techniques for single input single output systems. The proposed controller is designed with discrete form of PID as a sliding surface. To find the PID sliding surface controller tuning parameters, the traditional method of PID design or pole placement method can be used. The designed controller has flexibility in terms of range of the parameters to decide the stability and robustness of the closed loop performance and existence in terms of Lyapunov function and/or stability. Generally it is difficult to design proper controller due to inaccurate identified model of system or its parameters and external unmesaurable disturbance. The proposed controller has a simple and flexible structure having a set of tuning equations as a function of the desired performance of the systems. The discrete form of sliding surface and system states provide highly useful information to control necessary parameters of the interest for many higher or lower order systems. The systems available in real time or plant model identified by different method in the context of design of the controllers results in higher order; therefore it is necessary to direct the automation applications of systems towards higher order systems. In this paper, the examples are simulated using Mathwork’s MATLAB to show and compare results proposed law with prevalent available controllers.

description: Invariant pT spectra and rapidity densities covering a large rapidity range(-0.1 < y < 3.5) are presented for $π^{\pm}$ and $K^{\pm}$ mesons from central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 62.4 GeV. The mid-rapidity yields of meson particles relative to their anti-particles are found to be close to unity ($π^-/π^+ \sim 1$, $K^-/K^+ \sim 0.85$) while the anti-proton to proton ratio is $\bar{p}/p \sim 0.49$. The rapidity dependence of the $π^-/π^+$ ratio is consistent with a small increase towards forward rapidities while the $K^-/K^+$ and $\bar{p}/p$ ratios show a steep decrease to $\sim$ 0.3 for kaons and 0.022 for protons at $y\sim 3$. It is observed that the kaon production relative to its own anti-particle as well as to pion production in wide rapidity and energy ranges shows an apparent universal behavior consistent with the baryo-chemical potential, as deduced from the $\bar{p}/p$ ratio, being the driving parameter.

description: The purpose of this paper was two-fold. To examine the hardware and software purchased, training taken, and benefit recieved by farmers recently purchasing micro computers and to demonstrate a systematic approach of evaluating software. Over five hundred farmers that use microcomputers were surveyed on farm size and type, personal and computer system characteristics, and perceived benefit from the computer. Farmers that use computers were found to be younger, have higher incomes and benefit more from their computer systems with time than averages for all farmers. The use of printers and/or modems appeared to be justified for all levels of income. Indicated optimal levels of hardware, software, and weekly use were derived based on past farmer experience. Thirty eight programs were evaluated as to ease of use, programming quality, and developer documentation and support.

description: Robot path planning and executing multiple times that task has been focused in this paper. Path planning is a key task in the field of Robotics. This requires embedding intelligence into these robots for ensuring optimal solutions for task execution. The modeling environment and algorithm to find the shortest, collision-free path are the basic issues in the path planning problem of the robot motion planning. Robotic is now gaining a lot of space in our daily life, several areas of modern industrial automation, and cyber-physical applications. Planning a path in a static environment is easy compared to a dynamic environment where the obstacles are moving. There is a need to develop such an effective technique for path planning in a dynamic environment. Thus, a lot of research problems that pertain to robotic applications have arisen such as planning (path, motion, and mission), task allocation problems, navigation, tracking. In this paper, we focused on the path planning research problem and solution.

Development of a technique for sampling mountain pine beetle populations in lodgepole pine.
Creators: name: Safranyik, Laszlo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A technique was developed for sampling the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins, several times during its life cycle for the purposes of estimating within-generation mortality and population trend. The sampling technique is based on a critical study of the density gradients of brood in larval and pupal stages, both vertically and horizontally around the circumference of infested trees. The shape, orientation and size of the optimum sampling unit were investigated by studies of the spatial arrangement of brood, the relationship between edge effect bias and sampling unit shape and size, and by a study of the relationship between total sampling time and sampling unit size. The optimum unit is rectangular, has a width to length ratio of approximately 1:2, and is orientated with long sides perpendicular to the vertical axis of the infested tree. Optimum unit size was approximately eighteen square inches when sampling was at two height levels on the infested stem. A two-stage sampling technique was most appropriate for the sampling problem. The infested surface area of individual trees constituted the primary unit. Variability of brood density estimates between primary units was most efficiently reduced by regression sampling on primary unit size. The variance of brood counts within primary units, on the other hand, was sufficiently reduced by the construction of five within-primary unit strata. Stratum boundaries were determined on the basis of the circular distribution of brood counts (around the stem circumference) and the relationship between brood density and bark thickness. The sampling variances of both attacks and brood counts were related to their respective means by the equation s² = axˉb , where s² = variance/secondary unit. (formula omitted)=mean brood or attack counts/secondary unit and a and b are constants. Therefore, the counts had to be transformed in order to obtain an efficient estimate of the population variance. Taylor's power transformation, sufficiently removed the variance-mean relationship. Population totals (which have to be estimated in order to estimate population trend) were obtained by developing a surface area function to predict infested surface area for individual trees. This surface area function made possible the estimation of partial surface area to any specified height level. The latter property of the function was utilized to estimate within-primary unit stratum sizes. An approximate method of population trend prediction was developed for general insect surveys. This method is based on an estimate of brood density from the d.b.h. region of infested trees and on an estimate of the total infested bole area from a partial surface area table. Population trend is estimated by forming the ratio of the product of total infested surface area and brood density from the d.b.h. level in two successive years.

Therefore most of the literature surveys are carried out to study the symmetrical power swing and its impact on the performance of distance relay. Nonetheless, there is another type of power swing which is asymmetrical in nature. It enters into the power system when single-pole tripping is performed in a long transmission line which is heavily loaded. The consequence of this type of power swing on distance protection is widely studied in this paper. The undesired operation of distance relay owing to the existence of zero sequence current under asymmetrical power swing is restrained by using a proposed earth fault detection algorithm. The proposed algorithm and effect of single-pole tripping on distance relay is analyzed using the two test systems.

description: We present a protocol for quantum key distribution using discrete modulation of coherent states of light. Information is encoded in the variable phase of coherent states which can be chosen from a regular discrete set ranging from binary to continuous modulation, similar to phase-shift-keying in classical communication. Information is decoded by simultaneous homodyne measurement of both quadratures and requires no active choice of basis. The protocol utilizes either direct or reverse reconciliation, both with and without postselection. We analyze the security of the protocol and show how to enhance it by the optimal choice of all variable parameters of the quantum signal.

title: The Impact of Minority Group Membership on Changes in Selected Health Outcomes among Midlife Americans with Type 2 Diabetes

description: Minority ethnic groups have disproportionately high rates of diabetes prevalence and complications. This study examined the degree, nature, and mediation of ethnic differences in changes over time in four health outcomes: functional limitations, emotional symptomatology, psychosomatic symptomatology, and self-reported health status. The theoretical context incorporated tenets from the social characteristics and the minority status perspectives.
Data were drawn from two rounds (1992 and 1996) of the Health and Retirement Survey, a national plane survey of midlife Americans. The study focused on a subsample of 744 respondents who had been diagnosed with diabetes or high blood sugar by the time of the first round. Descriptive and lag-time regression analyses were employed. Five models were used to: (1) assess the independent effects of being Black and being Hispanic on changes over time in each of the outcome variables without and with the set of mediating variables; and (2) gauge the specific manner in which mediating variables affected initial statistically significant effects among Blacks and Hispanics. The mediating variables included five social position measures (education, income, net worth, gender, and a role integration index), health insurance coverage, and four health-related lifestyle measures (body mass index, drinking, smoking, and physical inactivity).
The results pointed to a complex pattern of effects between Blacks and Hispanics and across outcomes. The social characteristics hypothesis was supported in two instances: increases in functional limitations over time for Blacks and poorer self-reported health over time for Hispanics. The minority status hypothesis was supported only for increases in emotional symptomatology among Hispanics. No support for either hypothesis was observed for psychosomatic symptomatology. Critical mediating variables also differed between Blacks and Hispanics across the outcomes. The two variables mediating the Black effort for functional limitations were body mass index and gender, whereas the two variables mediating the Hispanic effect for self-reported were smoking and education.

description: We report on the study of the electrical current flowing in weakly coupled superlattice (SL) structures under an applied electric field at very low temperature, i.e. in the tunneling regime. This low temperature transport is characterized by an extremely low tunneling probability between adjacent wells. Experimentally, I(V) curves at low temperature display a striking feature, i.e a plateau or null differential conductance. A theoretical model based on the evaluation of scattering rates is developed in order to understand this behaviour, exploring the different scattering mechanisms in AlGaAs alloys. The dominant interaction in usual experimental conditions such as ours is found to be the electron-ionized donors scattering. The existence of the plateau in the I(V) characteristics is physically explained by a competition between the electric field localization of the Wannier-Stark electron states in the weakly coupled quantum wells and the electric field assisted tunneling between adjacent wells. The influence of the doping concentration and profile as well as the presence of impurities inside the barrier are discussed.

description: We investigate the transverse fluctuations of the confining string connecting two static quarks in (2+1)-d SU(2) Yang-Mills theory using Monte Carlo calculations. The exponentially suppressed signal is extracted from the large noise by a very efficient multi-level algorithm. The resulting width of the string increases logarithmically with the distance between the static quark charges. Corrections at intermediate distances due to universal higher order terms in the effective string action are calculated analytically. They accurately fit the numerical data.

description: In this paper we investigate the spectrum of OSp(n|2m) quantum spin chains with free boundary conditions. We compute the surface free energy of these models which, similar to other properties in the thermodynamic limit including the effective central charge of the underlying conformal field theory, depends on n−2m only. For several models in the regime n−2m<2 we have studied the finite-size properties including the subleading logarithmic corrections to scaling. As in the case of periodic boundary conditions we find the existence of a tower of states with the same conformal dimension as the identity operator. As expected the amplitudes of the corresponding logarithmic corrections differ from those found previously for the models with periodic boundary conditions. We point out however the existence of simple relations connecting such amplitudes for free and periodic boundaries. Based on our findings we formulate a conjecture on the long distance behaviour of the bulk and surface watermelon correlators.
Asymptotic behavior of the finite-size magnetization as a function of the speed of approach to criticality

description: The main focus of this paper is to determine whether the thermodynamic magnetization is a physically relevant estimator of the finite-size magnetization. This is done by comparing the asymptotic behaviors of these two quantities along parameter sequences converging to either a second-order point or the tricritical point in the mean-field Blume--Capel model. We show that the thermodynamic magnetization and the finite-size magnetization are asymptotic when the parameter $α$ governing the speed at which the sequence approaches criticality is below a certain threshold $α_0$. However, when $α$ exceeds $α_0$, the thermodynamic magnetization converges to 0 much faster than the finite-size magnetization. The asymptotic behavior of the finite-size magnetization is proved via a moderate deviation principle when $0α_0$. To the best of our knowledge, our results are the first rigorous confirmation of the statistical mechanical theory of finite-size scaling for a mean-field model.

description: The aim of the investigations described in this article is to improve the clinching of aluminum die casting. The focus is on clinching an aluminum die casting alloy by local heat treatment and hence to join them in a process-safe manner. For this purpose, a heating strategy is used to warm up the die casting alloys to reduce temporarily and reversibly the elongation and the yield strength in the material. In preliminary investigations, three different heating strategies (heating plate, resistance heating and inductive heating) have been investigated. Induction heating has been selected as the most suitable method due to the short heating time and the production of crack-free clinch points. In this paper, two clinching tool systems (one with a flexible die, one with a rigid die) were used. For these tools, two inductors with different diameter were manufactured. The effects of each inductor and clinching tool on an aluminum die casting alloy, such as heating time and crack behavior, were investigated. Surface images of the clinch points in regard to the heat treatment temperature were analyzed. Furthermore, the characteristic parameters of the joints such as interlock, bottom thickness and neck thickness were examined. In addition, the strength of the joined parts was investigated by head tension tests. The results of the developed method showed that it is possible to produce crack-free clinching joints below 6 s. Furthermore, the local heating led to an increasing interlock resulting in a 26% increase of the head tensile strength.
