description: This study continues the proposals for TRIZ educational practices improvement at the local level presented at TRIZ SUMMiT 2022. The presentation, following the previous research, reflects the expediency of studying some theoretical aspects of pedagogical activities of the Gori Educational Seminary alumni to be able to further integrate them, along with pedagogical methods of TRIZ Education, into the learning environment at the local level. The TRiZ SUMMiT 2023 visitors will also learn about the Development Trajectory: Chernyaevsky-Altshuller pilot project aimed at identification of talented children in remote regions of the country. This study is an opportunity to consider a prospective study of the general classification system of the history of the pedagogical heritage at the local level, further developing and increasing thus the input data using an appropriate arrangement in the descriptive part of the S-shaped development of the system mentioned in the previous paper. The first part of the paper provides information, background, and a brief time line. Further, based on the experience of the educator Alexey Osipovich Chernyaevsky and the author of TRIZ theory Henrich Saulovich Altshuller, the trends and initiatives to organise the joint development of methods for functional application in the modern period are proposed, as well as conclusions drawn on the basis of methodological developments of experts. The second part covers the prospects for implementation of the initial stage of the joint application of the experience of A. Chernyaevsky and G. Altshuller’s project on the identification of gifted children in remote regions of the country (Azerbaijan), for participation in the TRIZ Cup International Competition organised by the TRIZ Developers Summit International Association with subsequent experience dissemination at the international level among the TRIZ community. It should be noted that, as in the previous paper, the social significance of the paper for the TRIZ community lies in the possibility of referring to primary sources of information for preliminary research on the proposed topic by representatives of the Department of Education in the homeland of the author of TRIZ theory and several alumni of the Gori Seminary in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The novelty of the recommendations is the building of a symbiosis of professional competencies (organisational support) for a certain kind of pedagogical activity as presented above.

description: HR 8799 is a star accompanied by four massive planets on wide orbits. The observed planetary configuration has been shown to be unstable on a timescale much shorter than the estimated age of the system (~ 30 Myr) unless the planets are locked into mean motion resonances. This condition is characterised by small-amplitude libration of one or more resonant angles that stabilise the system by preventing close encounters. We simulate planetary systems similar to the HR 8799 planetary system, exploring the parameter space in separation between the orbits, planetary masses and distance from the Sun to the star. We find systems that look like HR 8799 and remain stable for longer than the estimated age of HR 8799. None of our systems are forced into resonances. We find, with nominal masses and in a narrow range of orbit separations, that 5 of 100 systems match the observations and lifetime. Considering a broad range of orbit separations, we find 12 of 900 similar systems. The systems survive significantly longer because of their slightly increased initial orbit separations compared to assuming circular orbits from the observed positions. A small increase in separation leads to a significant increase in survival time. The low eccentricity the orbits develop from gravitational interaction is enough for the planets to match the observations. With lower masses, but still comfortably within the estimated planet mass uncertainty, we find 18 of 100 matching and long-lived systems in a narrow orbital separation range. In the broad separation range, we find 82 of 900 matching systems. Our results imply that the planets in the HR 8799 system do not have to be in strong mean motion resonances.

description: As the economy develops, Chinese companies have made rapid progress in research and development, and many technologies have caught up with global leaders. Chinese companies competing with global leaders deeply appreciate the support with innovative techniques for innovation deployment. Training and innovative techniques will help businesses improve the competitiveness of their products. TRIZ is a recognised, efficient and innovative method which offers several advantages in terms of problem solving and finding innovative solutions that other methods do not have. Once TRIZ was introduced in China, it was promoted rapidly by government agencies, universities, and businesses as a teaching and research tool. This study covers the development history, current status and future trends of TRIZ in China.

description: Chipping of implant-supported molar crowns (iSCs) is a frequently reported complication. This study aimed to investigate the in-vitro aging and fracture resistance of iSCs with a CAD/CAM resin composite veneer structure fabricated with the Rapid Layer Technology (RLT) approach. Eight iSCs per group were fabricated by using two different CAD/CAM resin composites (Shofu Block HC: SH; Grandio blocs: GB) for veneer structures, and zirconia (ZrO2), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and cobalt–chromium (CoCr; control) as framework materials. The surfaces to be bonded were sandblasted, cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, and a coupling agent was applied. A self-adhesive resin luting composite was used to adhesively lute the veneer structures to the frameworks. The crowns were semi-permanently cemented to the abutments. After storage in deionized water, iSCs were loaded in a chewing simulator (TCML, 10,000 thermal cycles 5 °C to 55 °C for 20 s, 1.2 million, loading force 50 N). Four ZrO2 and one CoCr crown did not survive the TCML. The fracture force was determined after 24 h storage in deionized water and yielded values of ≥974 N. Lowest fracture forces were yielded in the PEEK-SH group in comparison to CoCr or ZrO2 groups (p ≤ 0.031). For identical framework materials, no significant influence of the veneering material was observed. All PEEK-GB frameworks fractured, and chipping occurred for ZrO2-SH and all CoCr frameworks. PEEK-SH and ZrO2-GB presented both chipping and framework fractures. Within the limitations of this in-vitro study, the RLT with a CAD/CAM resin composite veneer structure might be a promising approach to veneer iSCs. Yet, the choice of the CAD/CAM resin composite and of the framework material determine the fracture resistance.

description: The design experience of the authors shows that cause-effect chains analysis (CECA) is one of the main analytical tools of TRIZ-projects at industrial facilities. However, with all its intuitive comprehensibility and popularity, the cause-and-effect analysis procedure is a complicated and painstaking process. Its results depend heavily on correct building of cause-and-effect relations between events, where should be no paralogisms and cognitive biases of the CECA actor. It is the authors' opinion that exactly elimination of these harmful effects is the main value in automation of cause-effect chains analysis. This paper gives results of an investigation conducted on a sample of cause-and-effect chains of TRIZ-projects for mistakes made by TRIZ-specialists during cause-effect chains analysis. Types of such mistakes and their consequences are also given here. The paper briefly describes results of an overview conducted on references dedicated to increase of cause-effect chains analysis accuracy including that through automation. The authors also provide insight into functions of the Compinno-TRIZ module, where CECA is automated in two modes: without logic check and with logic check. The paper gives comparison of cause-and-effect chains made without logic check and with logic check in the Compinno-TRIZ CECA module, as well as provides practical examples of this module application in various modes.

description: The software Gérard located at http://www.univasf.edu.br/ ana.queiroz/GerardApplet.html is an educational interface dedicated to the training of teachers about Additive and Multiplicative Structures, which are more popularly known as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Preliminary work of the author stated the effectiveness of this interface in the learning of specific concepts. However, the conceptualization or process through which such learning occurred was not analyzed. This process includes the mathematical concepts and its metaphorical representations; the user and his previous knowledge, as well as the interaction modalities on the computer. The aim of this study was, therefore, to identify the conceptualization of additive and multiplicative structures in the use of Gérard interfaces. This is an exploratory quasi-experimental qualitative study carried out with (07) seven teachers in two schools in the city of Juazeiro/ BA. Data collection occurred through filming, recordings and semi-structured interviews. The obtained results indicate a change in the discourse of the users, not of the status of the concept, but of elements relative to the reflexive, co-existent process during the realization of the task. Furthermore, there still was a predominance of terms related to affective and motivational factors, as well as meta conceptual consciousness, which refers to the learner’s thinking about the relationship between their previous knowledge and the cognitive demands of the task. Such results can be used as a input for the construction of educational interfaces aiming to teach additive and multiplicative structures.

description: We present high-resolution (0".4) mid-infrared (mid-IR) polarimetric images and spectra of WL 16, a Herbig Ae star at a distance of 125 pc. WL 16 is surrounded by a protoplanetary disk of $\sim$ 900 AU in diameter, making it one of the most extended Herbig Ae/Be disks as seen in the mid-IR. The star is behind, or embedded in, the $ρ$ Ophiuchus molecular cloud, and obscured by 28 magnitudes of extinction at optical wavelengths by the foreground cloud. Mid-IR polarization of WL 16, mainly arises from aligned elongated dust grains present along the line of sight, suggesting a uniform morphology of polarization vectors with an orientation of 33\degr (East from North) and a polarization fraction of $\sim$ 2.0\%. This orientation is consistent with previous polarimetric surveys in the optical and near-IR bands to probe large-scale magnetic fields in the Ophiuchus star formation region, indicating that the observed mid-IR polarization toward WL 16 is produced by the dichroic absorption of magnetically aligned foreground dust grains by a uniform magnetic field. Using polarizations of WL 16 and Elias 29, a nearby polarization standard star, we constrain the polarization efficiency, \textit{$p_{10.3}/A_{10.3}$}, for the dust grains in the $ρ$ Ophiuchus molecular cloud to be $\sim$ 1.0\% mag$^{-1}$. WL 16 has polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission features detected at 8.6, 11.2, 12.0, and 12.7 $μ$m by our spectroscopic data, and we find an anti-correlation between the PAH surface brightness and the PAH ionization fraction between the NW and SW sides of the disk.

Scientific and technical forecasting in futurology and science fiction literature

Publisher: name: TRIZ in Evolution
Year: 2024

description: Modern futurology is a science that is very branched and has made numerous advances in exploring and predicting the future in recent decades. On the one hand, futurology uses mathematical methods to build models of the future being described. On the other hand, descriptive features of futurology bring this science increasingly closer to literature activity, namely to science fiction, and often not even to the subgenre of hard science fiction, but to the so-called soft science fiction, which quite freely manipulates tools of the humanities sociology, psychology, and so on. The second part of the paper discusses the main modern methods of futurology; the third part shows how the methods of predicting the future used by fiction writers differ from those of futurology. We give specific examples of 'inventions' and 'discoveries' by fiction writers.

description: Malware abuses TLS to encrypt its malicious traffic, preventing examination by content signatures and deep packet inspection. Network detection of malicious TLS flows is an important, but challenging, problem. Prior works have proposed supervised machine learning detectors using TLS features. However, by trying to represent all malicious traffic, supervised binary detectors produce models that are too loose, thus introducing errors. Furthermore, they do not distinguish flows generated by different malware. On the other hand, supervised multi-class detectors produce tighter models and can classify flows by malware family, but require family labels, which are not available for many samples. To address these limitations, this work proposes a novel unsupervised approach to detect and cluster malicious TLS flows. Our approach takes as input network traces from sandboxes. It clusters similar TLS flows using 90 features that capture properties of the TLS client, TLS server, certificate, and encrypted payload; and uses the clusters to build an unsupervised detector that can assign a malicious flow to the cluster it belongs to, or determine it is benign. We evaluate our approach using 972K traces from a commercial sandbox and 35M TLS flows from a research network. Our clustering shows very high precision and recall with an F1 score of 0.993. We compare our unsupervised detector with two state-of-the-art approaches, showing that it outperforms both. The false detection rate of our detector is 0.032% measured over four months of traffic.

description: TRIZ is applied to complex, non-conventional problems. To successfully solve such problems and implement the solutions, one should know how to use the individual TRIZ tools and how to combine them in a sequence suitable for the specific problem. The project-based approach has become popular for a reason. It involves planning the sequence of activities within a project and their distribution among the project team members. Experienced TRIZ project managers have no issues with precise project planning. During the mass implementation of the TRIZ approach, however, the author was confronted with the following contradiction: if an inexperienced TRIZ project manager is trained, the efficiency (accuracy) of project planning increases, but the training is long and costly. The more large-scale the TRIZ project is, the more acute this contradiction becomes. The author published the results of the researching methods of planning a TRIZ-project. Was introduced new classification of the methods planning a TRIZ-project, which used like a base for analysis advantages and disadvantages these one. The author proposed and implemented the method developing TRIZ-tools with the help of TRIZ. This method allowed detecting the key contradictions in the methods planning a TRIZ-project like a system and analysis of trends developing. As result, the author proposed the forecast development the methods planning a TRIZ-project.

description: In the cleaning process of the subframe after processing, due to the complex internal structure of the subframe, impurities such as aluminum scraps and oil stains in the cavity are not easy to be cleaned. Nowadays, cleaning liquid is used to clean the subframe, and two problems of incomplete cleaning in the cleaning system and incomplete drying in the subsequent drying system are exited, that is, liquid droplets will remain in the cavity and blind hole of the subframe. In this paper some tools such as function analysis and Su-Field model of TRIZ will be applied to analyze and solve the problem, and the existing cleaning and drying device will be improved. In this way, the cleaning of aluminum scraps and oil stains of the subframe will be realized, and in final, drying of the internal and external of the subframe will be ensured.

description: We study the Kondo effect for $\bar{D}_{s}$ and $\bar{D}_{s}^{\ast}$ mesons as impurity particles in nuclear matter. The spin-exchange interaction between the $\bar{D}_{s}$ or $\bar{D}_{s}^{\ast}$ meson and the nucleon induces the enhancement of the effective coupling in the low-energy scattering in the infrared region, whose scale of singularity is given by the Kondo scale. We investigate the Kondo scale in the renormalization group equation at nucleon one-loop level. We furthermore study the ground state with the Kondo effect in the mean-field approach, and present that the Kondo scale is related to the mixing strength between the $\bar{D}_{s}$ or $\bar{D}_{s}^{\ast}$ meson and the nucleon in nuclear matter. We show the spectral function of the impurity when the Kondo effect occurs.

The interplay between the endogenous dynamics of agents and the exogenous noise is the primary mechanism responsible for the observed long-range dependence and statistical properties of high volatility return intervals. By exogenous noise we mean information flow or/and order flow fluctuations. Numerical results based on the proposed model reveal that the exogenous fluctuations have to be considered as indispensable part of comprehensive modeling of the financial markets.

description: Microwave interferometer in the Limiter Shadow (MILS) is a new diagnostic, installed on ASDEX Upgrade for electron density measurements in the far Scrape-Off Layer (SOL). At the chosen frequency of 47 GHz the region of measurements varies within several centimeters before and after the limiter, depending on the density. 200 kHz data acquisition allows resolving transient events such as edge localised modes (ELMs) filaments and turbulence filaments. The measured quantities, phase shift and power decay of the microwave beam, which crosses the plasma, are directly connected to the density and do not depend on any other plasma quantity. In this work, we analyse the influence of a filamentary perturbation on MILS signals. Simple representation of a filament is adopted, with parameters relevant to experimental filament properties, reported for ASDEX Upgrade. Forward modelling is done in COMSOL software by using RAPLICASOL, to study the response of the MILS synthetic diagnostic to the presence of a filament. Qualitative and quantitative dependencies are obtained and the boundaries of MILS sensitivity to filaments, or to the density perturbation in far SOL in general, are outlined.

TRIZ application

description: The article is research of using TRIZ in management of sales departments in the federal IT-company Kontur. A specific feature of sales departments functioning consists in the fact that linear employees and managers work at high tempo, regularly trace market tendencies and variations in the company's products, which does not enable to spend much time on studying the methodology of generating new solutions. Traditionally TRIZ application in industry has its reverse side: large time expenses on personnel training, on the analysis of the problem and search for solutions, the necessity for gathering the team many times and motivating the team for continuation of work as well as the absence of quickly obtained results of the activity. The authors propose to simplify the process of searching for the solutions and to offer the managers of departments finished lists of solutions of their problems, taking up the main part of the work. The methodology consists in identification of frequent contradictions occurring on the way to strategic tasks of the company and to resolving each of them, simplifying the process of ideas generation and not spending time for personnel training. In this case, seeing the usefulness of such solutions, the employees start to be individually interested in TRIZ methodologies without any pressure from the manager. To generate solutions via techniques for eliminating the contradictions, neuron network GPT 3.5 was used, which made the process dozen times quicker. Based on these solutions Business-TRIZ Navigator was created, in which heads of department could see 68 contradictions relating to 9 categories, which correspond to trends in the team activity. During the period of 3 months of work with a navigator, 13 managers of various levels used Business-TRIZ Navigator and successfully implemented 61 solutions in their teams. Proposed methodology could be used in different spheres of activity, which are characterized by constraints in teaching traditional TRIZ methods to the employees.

description: The Japanese beetle, Popilliajaponica Newman, is an invasive insect belonging to the family Scarabaeidae. Native to Japan, it is considered one of the most widespread and destructive pests of turfgrass and ornamental plants worldwide. It is a highly polyphagous species that can feed on more than 300 species of wild and cultivated plants as larva and adult. Due to the economie impact to the horticulture and turfgrass industries, this species was ranked within the EU priority pests list in 2019 and it is now receiving a lot of attenti on from many European National Plant Protection Organizations.
 The experience of the last decades suggests that knowledge of the genetic structure and the routes of introduction of an invasive species can assist in developing effective monitoring programs and limit additional introductions. In order to determine how the current distribution of Japanese beetle occurred, our research investigated the genetic variability of P japonica in its native and invaded areas worldwide.

description: Despite being in poorer health, disadvantaged groups generally have lower use of primary healthcare than other Australians. Disparities in primary healthcare use can lead to higher use of relatively more costly acute services and contribute to, or exacerbate pre-existing, health inequalities. This thesis provides an overview on unequal use of healthcare by disadvantaged groups and explores how the relative importance of different supply- and demand-side factors influence healthcare use among priority populations; namely, sexual and gender diverse populations, Indigenous peoples, and people with mental illness and disability. This thesis makes an important contribution to the understanding of how different strategies can be implemented to improve healthcare use and health outcomes among some of Australia’s most vulnerable populations.

description: We theoretically study the stationary-state vortex lattice configurations of rotating spin-orbit- and coherently-coupled spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in quasi-two-dimensional harmonic potentials. The combined effects of rotation, spin-orbit and coherent couplings are analyzed systematically from the single-particle perspective. Through the single-particle Hamiltonian, which is exactly solvable for one-dimensional coupling, under specific coupling and rotation strengths, we illustrate that a boson in these rotating spin-orbit- and coherently-coupled condensates are subjected to effective toroidal, symmetric double-well, or asymmetric double-well potentials. In the presence of mean-field interactions, using the coupled Gross-Pitaevskii formalism at moderate to high rotation frequencies, the analytically obtained effective potential minima and the numerically obtained coarse-grained density maxima position are in excellent agreement. On rapid rotation, we further find that the spin expectation per particle of an antiferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate approaches unity indicating a similarity in the response with ferromagnetic spin-orbit-coupled condensates.

description: LOFT-P is a concept for a NASA Astrophysics Probe-Class (6 m^2, >10x RXTE), high time resolution, good spectral resolution, broad-band spectral coverage (2-30 keV), highly flexible scheduling, and an ability to detect and respond promptly to time-critical targets of opportunity. It addresses science questions such as: What is the equation of state of ultra dense matter? What are the effects of strong gravity on matter spiraling into black holes? It would be optimized for sub-millisecond timing to study phenomena at the natural timescales of neutron star surfaces and black hole event horizons and to measure mass and spin of black holes. These measurements are synergistic to imaging and high-resolution spectroscopy instruments, addressing much smaller distance scales than are possible without very long baseline X-ray interferometry, and using complementary techniques to address the geometry and dynamics of emission regions. A sky monitor (2-50 keV) acts as a trigger for pointed observations, providing high duty cycle, high time resolution monitoring of the X-ray sky with ~20 times the sensitivity of the RXTE All-Sky Monitor, enabling multi-wavelength and multi-messenger studies. A probe-class mission concept would employ lightweight collimator technology and large-area solid-state detectors, technologies which have been recently greatly advanced during the ESA M3 study. Given the large community interested in LOFT (>800 supporters, the scientific productivity of this mission is expected to be very high, similar to or greater than RXTE (~2000 refereed publications). We describe the results of a study, recently completed by the MSFC Advanced Concepts Office, that demonstrates that LOFT-P is feasible within a NASA probe-class mission budget.

description: In Madagascar, daily life is often interrupted by frequent power cuts and load shedding, a common occurrence that poses challenges to both households and enterprises, by impacting productivity. The cost of electricity in Madagascar is also notably high, further worsening the difficulties faced by many in accessing reliable power. The main purpose of the present research is to identify an ideal strategy to improve the performance of the State-Owned Electricity Producer and Provider JIro RAno Malagasy or JIRAMA. The methodology of this research consists of four key steps aimed at improving the performance of JIRAMA. The first step involves applying the Problem Stream Mapping or PSM to JIRAMA, based on the Value Stream Mapping or VSM concept of Lean management. This step aims to visualize and analyze the current state of operations within JIRAMA to identify areas for improvement. The second step focuses on conducting a Root Cause Analysis of a specific problem identified during the PSM phase. This analysis aims to uncover the underlying causes of the problem. The third step involves contradiction analysis, a method used to identify and resolve conflicting objectives within the organization, such as balancing technical losses and quick installation in electricity distribution systems. Finally, the fourth step applies the Teoriya Resheniya Izobretatelskikh Zadatch or TRIZ, Theory of Inventive Problem Solving in English. That process generates ideal strategies to the identified problem, leveraging principles and patterns of inventive thinking to overcome technical contradictions and improve overall performance. The findings of this research culminate in the development of generic solutions tailored to enhance the performance of the state-owned company. These generic solutions serve as the foundation for designing ideal strategies aimed at addressing the specific challenges faced by JIRAMA. A strategy roadmap is then created, outlining the steps and timelines for implementing these strategies to achieve the desired performance improvements within JIRAMA. The main conclusion is that recovering the company and improving its performance is possible.

description: We investigate the form of the closure of the smooth, compactly supported functions $C_{c}^{\infty}(Ω)$ in the weighted fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p;\,w,v}(Ω)$ for bounded $Ω$. We focus on the weights $w,\,v$ being powers of the distance to the boundary of the domain. Our results depend on the lower and upper Assouad codimension of the boundary of $Ω$. For such weights we also prove the comparability between the full weighted fractional Gagliardo seminorm and the truncated one.
Mitigating the impacts of weather on lamb survival in Southern New Zealand

description: Increased fecundity and improved feed management have doubled the number of lambs born in any threeday period in spring since 1990. Four farmer catchment groups were engaged to investigate options that farmers may use to reduce the impacts of weather at lambing time. After workshops identified potential mitigations, a lamb survival model was developed using data from the literature. This was applied at daily time steps to weather data over a 20-year period from 1980-1999, with chosen mitigations added to investigate their impact. Direct intervention by improving pre-lambing ewe nutrition increased live lambs by 7-8% (P<0.05). Policy development strategies to provide shelter increased live lambs by 8 and 17% with reductions in wind speed of 50 and 100% respectively (P<0.05). These results were consistent across all environments tested. Increasing fecundity increased the net number of lambs at docking, though also resulted in a greater number of lamb losses. Spreading risk by spreading lambing did not alter the net long-term lamb survival rate. Provision of shelter, both before and during lambing, and ensuring adequate pre-laming ewe nutrition were most effective at consistently improving lamb survival in all the environments tested.

description: Quasianalytic classes are classes of infinitely differentiable functions that satisfy the analytic continuation property enjoyed by analytic functions. Two general examples are quasianalytic Denjoy-Carleman classes (of origin in the analysis of linear partial differential equations) and the class of infinitely differentiable functions that are definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure (of origin in model theory). We prove a generalization to quasianalytic functions of Malgrange's celebrated theorem on the division of infinitely differentiable by real-analytic functions.

description: In this article we propose an inverse analysis algorithm to find the best fit of multiple material parameters in different coupled multi-physics biofilm models. We use a nonlinear continuum mechanical approach to model biofilm deformation that occurs in flow cell experiments. The objective function is based on a simple geometrical measurement of the distance of the fluid biofilm interface between model and experiments. A Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm based on finite difference approximation is used as an optimizer. The proposed method uses a moderate to low amount of model evaluations. For a first presentation and evaluation the algorithm is applied and tested on different numerical examples based on generated numerical results and the addition of Gaussian noise. Achieved numerical results show that the proposed method serves well for different physical effects investigated and numerical approaches chosen for the model. Presented examples show the inverse analysis for multiple parameters in biofilm models including fluid-solid interaction effects, poroelasticity, heterogeneous material properties and growth.
