Study of Multi-Pulse Rectifiers of the PES System in Accordance with the Concept of a More Electric Aircraft
Creators: name: Kowalik, Rafal
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Aerospace Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: The subject of this paper is to conduct the testing process of multi-pulse rectifiers (6-, 12- and 18-, 24-) impulse of energo-electronic power supply system in terms of the on-board electrical energy power processing of the aircraft (analysis, mathematical model, simulations) in accordance with more and more the growing "more-electric" trend of modern advanced aircrafts. The above trend is referred to in the literature of the subject of research as the concept of "more electric aircraft" or "more electric technology". The primary goal of the paper is to create a transducer model implemented in aviation, i.e. the one that can be considered for use, both on civil aircraft of aviation corporations (Airbus, Boeing) in terms of their hit products (A-380 and A-350XWB, B-787), as well as on military aircraft of the Lockheed Martin corporation (JSF F-35 and F-22 Raptor) compatible with the concept of a partially/fully electric aircraft. Based on the above considerations, in the final part of the paper based on the conducted simulations of selected multi-pulse rectifiers, the simulation processes performed in the Matlab/Simulink program were made and practical conclusions were drawn on this basis.

description: Increasing evidence indicates a link between aluminum (Al) intake and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The main entry of Al into the human body is through oral route, and in the digestive tract, under the influence of the pH change, Al can be transformed into Al nanoparticles (Al-NP). However, studies related to the effect of Al-NP on the brain are limited and need further investigation. Neuro-inflammation is considered as one of the principal features of AD. Microglial activation and expression of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β (interleukin-1β) in the brain have been used as hallmarks of brain inflammation. Therefore, in the present study, the hippocampal levels of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (IBA-1), as the marker of microglia activation, and IL-1β were assessed. Adult male NMRI mice were treated with Al-NP (5 or 10 mg/kg) for 5 days. A novel object recognition (NOR) test was used to assess memory. Following cognitive assessments, the hippocampal tissues were isolated to analyze the levels of IL-1β and IBA-1 as well as beta actin proteins using western blot technique. Al-NP in both doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg impaired NOR memory in mice. In addition, Al-NP increased IL-1β and IBA-1 in the hippocampus. These findings indicate that the memory impairing effect of Al-NP coincides with hippocampal inflammation. According to the proposed relationship between AD and Al toxicity, this study can increase the knowledge about the toxic effects of Al-NP and highlight the need to limit the use of this nanoparticle.

description: It is well known that when the fused silica is irradiated with focused femtosecond laser beams, space selective chemical etching can be achieved. The etching rate depends sensitively on the polarization of the laser. Surprisingly, we observe that by chirping the Fourier-transform-limited femtosecond laser pulses to picosecond pulses, the polarization dependence of the etching rate disappears, whereas an efficient etching rate can still be maintained. Observation with a scanning electron microscope reveals that the chirped pulses can induce interconnected nanocracks in the irradiated areas which facilitates efficient introduction of the etchant into the microchannel. The reported technology is of great use for fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) microfluidic systems and glass-based 3D printing.

description: The detection of periodicities in light curves of active galacticnuclei (AGN) could have profound consequences for our understanding of the nature and radiation physics of these objects. At high energies (HE; E>100 MeV) 5 blazars (PG 1553+113,PKS 2155-304, 0426-380, 0537-441, 0301-243) have been reported to show year-like quasi-periodic variations (QPVs) with significance >3 sig. As these findings are based on few cycles only, care needs to be taken to properly account for random variations which can produce intervals of seemingly periodic behaviour. We present results of an updated timing analysis for 6 blazars (adding PKS 0447-439), utilizing suitable methods to evaluate their long term variability properties and to search for QPVs in their light curves. We generate gamma-ray light curves covering almost 10 years, study their timing properties and search for QPVs using the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram and the Wavelet Z-transform. Extended Monte Carlo simulations are used to evaluate the statistical significance. Comparing their probability density functions (PDFs), all sources (except PG 1553+113) exhibit a clear deviation from a Gaussian distribution, but are consistent with being log-normal, suggesting that the underlying variability is of a non-linear, multiplicative nature. Apart from PKS 0301-243 the power spectral density for all investigated blazars is close to flicker noise (PL slope -1). Possible QPVs with a local significance ~ 3 sig. are found in all light curves (apart from PKS 0426-380 and 0537-441), with observed periods between (1.7-2.8) yr. The evidence is strongly reduced, however, if evaluated in terms of a global significance. Our results advise caution as to the significance of reported year-like HE QPVs in blazars. Somewhat surprisingly, the putative, redshift-corrected periods are all clustering around 1.6 yr. We speculate on possible implications for QPV generation.

 Lectotypus (designated by PICHI-SERMOLLI, 1962: 27): MASCARENES: “31. Acrostichum des Isles de France & de Bourbon ”, s.d., Commerson s.n. (LINN-HS nº 1622.51 image seen; isolecto-: MPU [MPU1071909]!, SBT nº 1.2.1.28 image seen) (Fig. 3).
 Notes. – A single specimen of original material is extant in LINN-HS [LINN-HS nº 1622.51]. This specimen bears a label in Thouin’s handwriting including the number “31” to which Linnaeus f. added in his hand “australe ny” (“ny” indicating ‘new’). The LINN-HS specimen was cited as holotype by PICHI-SERMOLLI (1962) and this use is here treated as an error to be corrected to lectotype (TURLAND et al., 2018: Art. 9.10). Duplicates of this original material have been located in MPU [MPU1071909] and SBT [SBT nº 1.2.1.28]. The identity of the lectotype material corresponds with the current usage of the name.
The type locality is either Mauritius from the “montagne des 3 mamelles et celle du rampart” or “St. Paul” in Réunion as written by Thouin on the MPU specimen (Fig. 3).
 Actiniopteris australis is endemic to Mauritius and Réunion in the Mascarenes archipelago (BADRÉ & LORENCE, 2008).

description: We discuss the effects of resonant $ν_e \to ν_s$ and $\barν_e \to \barν_s$ ($ν_s$ is a sterile neutrino) conversions in the dense medium of a supernova. In particular, we assume the sterile neutrino $ν_s$ to be in the hot dark matter few eV mass range. The implications of such a scenario for the supernova shock re-heating, the detected $\barν_e$ signal from SN1987A and for the r-process nucleosynthesis hypothesis are analysed in some detail. The resulting constraints on mixing and mass difference for the $ν_e-ν_s$ system are derived. There is also an allowed region in the neutrino parameter space for which the r-process nucleosynthesis can be enhanced.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 677066, adult male, collected at No-Tai, Hainan Island, China, on 3 October 1902, by Zensaku Katsumata. From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert based his description on 13 males and females collected at No-Tai in April, September, and October 1902 and designated as the type a male collected on 3 October. There are two males collected on that date and Hartert (1919: 124) did not further distinguish between them. AMNH 677066, bearing a Rothschild type label, was cataloged as the type when the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH and has unquestionably been so considered. In order to remove the ambiguity presented by the second specimen, I hereby designate AMNH 677066 the lectotype of Dendrocitta sinensis insulae. The remaining 12 specimens are paralectotypes: AMNH 677062–677065, 677067–677074, six males, six females, collected at No-Tai April, September, and October 1902.

description: Based on a Gaussian mixture type model of K components, we derive eigen selection procedures that improve the usual spectral clustering algorithms in high-dimensional settings, which typically act on the top few eigenvectors of an affinity matrix (e.g., X⊤X) derived from the data matrix X. Our selection principle formalizes two intuitions: (1) eigenvectors should be dropped when they have no clustering power; (2) some eigenvectors corresponding to smaller spiked eigenvalues should be dropped due to estimation inaccuracy. Our selection procedures lead to new spectral clustering algorithms: ESSC for K = 2 and GESSC for K > 2. The newly proposed algorithms enjoy better stability and compare favorably against canonical alternatives, as demonstrated in extensive simulation and multiple real data studies.
Cloud Emission Technique: Study, Design and Implementation

description: Presently many organizations are adopting and leveraging Data ware house and Business Intelligence for decision making through continuous investments. The Nodal Cloud Emission business necessitates quick and informed decision making. The basic Data retrieval in the data ware house is very primitive with the complex operation that must be performed in various disciplines such as engineering, mathematics and commerce. Although a complex data can be programmed in some programming language, it is desirable to use high level instructions for data retrieval procedure which contains the instructions similar to those required in a particular application. In payroll applications, one wants to manipulate employee records in the master file, performs arithmetic operations, and generates complex data. The cloud Emission technique reduces much of thedrudgery of complex data retrievals and reduces new problems. It acts like a program which converts a program to some object language such as a machine language must be written. This technique sometimes acts like a compiler which finally provides the precise definition of the data or for a language.Generally a language consists of finite or infinite set of sentences. The finite language can be specified by enumerating all their sentences but for infinite languages enumerations is not possible. So any technique which specifies a language or data should be finite. On the other hand the language specifications is to have emission technique which is called as acceptor, to determine whether a given sentence or data belongs to a particular language.heterogeneous storages, server applications, networks, security mechanism and other elements which are visualized across the enterprise are described with Cloud mechanism. The Cloud Emission Technique (CET) is the use of internet computer technology for a variety of services. The CET is a different style of computing in dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources provider to the user.The CET monitors the real time enable rebalancing of allocations when are needed. Any sentences in a language such as structure are described in terms of subject, predicate, phrase, and noun and so on. On the other hand for CET the structure is given in terms of procedures,statements, expressions. In many cases it is desirable to describe the structures and obtain a set of all corrected and admissible sentences in the Languages. The Grammatical structure of a particular language helps us to determine whether a particular sentence does or does not belong to the set of correct sentences of Data emissions. It is studied by analyzing the various parts of sentences and their relationships to one another naming as parser.

Our course is twofold: First, we demonstrate that standard manipulations straightforwardly transform the stochastic equation of density {\itshape operator}, derived by Dean, to the Fokker-Planck equation for the (c-number) density distribution functional $P(\{ρ\},t)$. Moreover, we verify the associated static solution of $P(\{ρ\},t)$ with the help of the conditional grand canonical partition function.

description: Aim: Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a rare, autosomal dominant, cholestatic liver disease that negatively impacts a patient’s health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Cholestatic pruritus associated with ALGS is the most severe of any liver disease, is negatively correlated with HRQoL, and is the leading indication for liver transplantation in these patients. Whereas published data demonstrate the burden of ALGS on patient HRQoL, similar data showing the impact on caregivers are lacking. The objective of this study was to investigate the burden of ALGS on caregivers’ HRQoL. Materials & methods: A multinational, online survey was administered to caregivers of ALGS patients using validated instruments to capture the impact of ALGS on HRQoL. Results: A total of 103 caregivers completed the survey; 43% received a liver transplantation. The most common ALGS related symptoms were pruritus (81%), jaundice (71%) and heart murmur (60%). Employed caregivers missed on average 8 h of paid work in the previous week. Caregivers of patients with no/mild itch had significantly better sleep quality than those with moderate/severe itch (p = 0.008). Caregivers had higher anxiety/depression and worse HRQoL versus the general population. Conclusion: The results highlight the dramatic impact of pruritus and other ALGS related symptoms on caregivers’ HRQoL and financial burden. Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a rare, debilitating and life-threatening disorder that presents with a broad range of clinical manifestations. Children with ALGS have significantly impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared with healthy children. The data and the literature are limited in examining caregiver burden in patients with ALGS. This multinational, cross-sectional study was the first to highlight the negative impacts on HRQoL and the emotional, sleep, daily activity and work burden experienced by caregivers of children with ALGS. Specifically, the majority of caregivers (71%) reported that their sleep was affected by their child’s itch in a given week, over a third (35%) of the caregivers had moderate to severe anxiety, and most caregivers (79%) reported a negative financial impact from caring for their children with ALGS. These results demonstrate the high need to identify and implement successful treatments that would enable better quality of care for children with rare diseases and potentially better mental health and financial outcomes for their caregivers.

From the view point of weighted energy estimates given by Sobajima--Wakasugi \cite{SoWa4}, the existence of global-in-time solutions with small initial data in the sense of $(1+|x|^2)^{λ/2}u_0$, $(1+|x|^2)^{λ/2}\nabla u_0$, $(1+|x|^2)^{λ/2}u_1\in L^2(Ω)$ with $λ\in (0,\frac{N}{2})$ is shown under the condition $p\geq 1+\frac{4}{N+2λ}$. The sharp lower bound for the lifespan of blowup solutions with small initial data $(\varepsilon u_0,\varepsilon u_1)$ is also given.

description: The stock market is a complex and dynamic system with noisy, non-stationary and chaotic data series. Prediction of afinancial market is more challenging due to chaos and uncertainty of the system. Soft computing techniques areprogressively gaining presence in the financial world. Compared to traditional techniques to predict the market direction, soft computing is gaining the advantage of accuracy and speed. However the input data selection is the major issue in soft computing. The aim of this paper is to explain the potential day by day research contribution of soft computing to solve complex problem such as stock market direction prediction. This study paper synthesizes five reference papers and explains how soft computing is gaining the popularity in the field of financial market. The selection of papers are based on various models which are processing different input parameters for predicting the direction of stock market.

description: We present a framework which enables the analysis of dynamic inverse problems for wave phenomena that are modeled through second-order hyperbolic PDEs. This includes well-posedness and regularity results for the forward operator in an abstract setting, where the operators in an evolution equation represent the unknowns. We also prove Fréchet-differentiability and local ill-posedness for this problem. We then demonstrate how to apply this theory to actual problems by two example equations motivated by linear elasticity and electrodynamics. For these problems it is even possible to obtain a simple characterization of the adjoint of the Fréchet-derivative of the forward operator, which is of particular interest for the application of regularization schemes.

description: The surface free energy (SFE) of engineering substrates and the surface tension (ST) of lubricants are known to influence wetting behavior at the interface of the mating mechanical components. The influence of cyclic moieties and heteroatoms in modulating wetting behavior and consequent tribological properties like friction and wear is less well elucidated. Continuing our exploration of “triangle esters” distinguished by the introduction of three-membered heteroatom rings in otherwise commonly used lubricant structures, we demonstrate that friction and wear properties for each ester over a set four different metallic engineering substrates—aluminum, brass, phosphor bronze, and stainless steel—under low load conditions can be effectively correlated with surface properties for the coefficient of friction, and with both surface properties and substrate hardness for wear parameters. The experimentally determined regression equations are used to predict these properties for a fifth substrate, gun metal. The difference in polarity fraction between the substrate and the lubricant is found to have a surprisingly significant influence on wear properties.

description: Unconventional superconductors exhibit an order parameter symmetry lower than the symmetry of the underlying crystal lattice. Recent phase sensitive experiments on YBCO single crystals have established the d-wave nature of the cuprate materials, thus identifying unambiguously the first unconventional superconductor. The sign change in the order parameter can be exploited to construct a new type of s-wave - d-wave - s-wave Josephson junction exhibiting a degenerate ground state and a double-periodic current-phase characteristic. Here we discuss how to make use of these special junction characteristics in the construction of a quantum computer. Combining such junctions together with a usual s-wave link into a SQUID loop we obtain what we call a `quiet' qubit --- a solid state implementation of a quantum bit which remains optimally isolated from its environment.

description: Electronic transport with a line (or a few lines) of Anderson type disorder in a zigzag graphene nanoribbon is investigated in presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Such line disorders give rise to peculiar behavior in both charge as well as spin-polarized transmission in the following sense. In the weak disorder regime, the charge transport data show Anderson localization up to a certain disorder strength, beyond which the extended states emerge and start dominating over the localized states. These results are the hallmark signature of a selectively disordered (as opposed to bulk disorder) graphene nanoribbon. However, the spin-polarized transport shows a completely contradicting behavior. Further, the structural symmetries are shown to have an important role in the spintronic properties of the nanoribbons. Moreover, the edge-disorder scenario (disorder selectively placed at the edges) seems to hold promise for the spin-filter and switching device applications.

description: The European TRANSFORM project brings together three European regions (Lombardy, Brussels Capital and Catalonia) to experiment with different innovative participatory methodologies. The objective: to make their research and innovation (R&I) activities and policies more accountable and aligned with societal needs by applying the principles of "Responsible Research and Innovation" (RRI).

Specifically, the Catalan cluster experiments with the citizen science methodology, with the aim of demonstrating the benefits it can bring in transforming the way policies are made and thereby developing policies that are more aligned with citizens' needs, concerns and aspirations. The main objective is to integrate citizen science into Catalonia’s Smart Specialisation Strategy, to advance more effectively towards a greener, digital, more resilient and fairer socioeconomic model.

To this end, two main activities have been carried out: 1) the setting up of a Think Tank on RRI and citizen science composed of different stakeholders from the regional R&I ecosystem; 2) the co-design (together with the members of the Think Tank) and implementation of 2 citizen science pilots: one in the field of waste, other in the field of health.

After 3 years of the project, this process has had several positive impacts at local and regional level, which deserve to be shared publicly so that other regions can take advantage of the lessons learned to implement similar processes. Firstly, the processes carried out in the citizen science pilots had fostered the transformation of the local policy-making cycle towards more responsible approaches, integrating the voice of citizens and other territorial actors. Secondly, the results of the citizen science pilots are being taken into account for the development of future local policies that are more aligned with social needs. Thirdly, RRI and citizen science have been integrated in RIS3CAT 2030 and some of the funding programmes and strategies that are developed within this framework. Finally, the Think Tank member organisations (both those participating in the implementation of the pilots and those not) have increased their knowledge on RRI and citizen science and learnt first-hand about the practical benefits of applying citizen science in R&I projects.

Both the process and the impacts and lessons learned from the TRANSFORM Catalan cluster are explained in this document.

description: In the article, the authors present the concept of using neural network in analysis of data obtained from simulation processes presenting physical phenomena occurring at the moment of passing a rail vehicle through the track. The main parameters in which attention is drawn are the normal, longitudinal, transverse and vertical forces in the contact area resulting from the contact of the wheel with the rail. After a brief introduction, a mathematical model describing a number of physical phenomena occurring between the various components of the rail vehicle is discussed. In the article, after aging of the neural network's own concept and explanation of its functioning, an algorithm has been described, which is responsible for elimination of values of forces deviating significantly from optimal values. Results from simulation studies are presented in two groups. The first one refers to the graphs obtained during the study using the Uniwersal Mechanism software. In the second part the results of the data obtained in the first stage of the test were passed through the neural network. research article.

description: During the last decade, a considerable amount of effort has been made to classify variable stars using different machine learning techniques. Typically, light curves are represented as vectors of statistical descriptors or features that are used to train various algorithms. These features demand big computational powers that can last from hours to days, making impossible to create scalable and efficient ways of automatically classifying variable stars. Also, light curves from different surveys cannot be integrated and analyzed together when using features, because of observational differences. For example, having variations in cadence and filters, feature distributions become biased and require expensive data-calibration models. The vast amount of data that will be generated soon make necessary to develop scalable machine learning architectures without expensive integration techniques. Convolutional Neural Networks have shown impressing results in raw image classification and representation within the machine learning literature. In this work, we present a novel Deep Learning model for light curve classification, mainly based on convolutional units. Our architecture receives as input the differences between time and magnitude of light curves. It captures the essential classification patterns regardless of cadence and filter. In addition, we introduce a novel data augmentation schema for unevenly sampled time series. We test our method using three different surveys: OGLE-III; Corot; and VVV, which differ in filters, cadence, and area of the sky. We show that besides the benefit of scalability, our model obtains state of the art levels accuracy in light curve classification benchmarks.

description: Aim: Multisegmental gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotilities, such as chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, may lead to life-threatening events. The interdisciplinary INTAKT project is developing wirelessly communicating GI devices for intelligent sensor technology and electrostimulation-based motility modulation. However, a concrete vision of clinical implementation has not been previously described. Methods: An interdisciplinary team of surgeons, gastroenterologists, biologists, engineers, veterinarians and product designers developed a clinical scenario based on pre-clinical experiments, contextual analysis and usage scenarios. Results: The surgical experiences of our previous studies with conventional open, laparoscopic and robotic setups were analyzed. Patient selection, a surgical strategy and perioperative management are described in detail. Conclusion: Further technological solutions may enable first-in-human trials according to our protocol. The INTAKT study group developed a future clinical scenario for multisegmental theranostic devices in treating therapy-refractory multisegmental motility disorders of the GI tract. Electrophysiological feasibility and safety of surgical approaches were analyzed, including open, laparoscopic and robotic methods. Minimally invasive procedures demonstrated potential in reducing tissue trauma and offering advantages in intraoperative GI electrical recordings. Robotic surgical systems deemed most suitable for the proposed strategy, but the laparoscopic approach was considered more cost-effective for broader clinical application. Patient selection criteria for multisegmental GI motility disorders were outlined. A surgical strategy involves multisegmental implantation of theranostic devices after electrophysiological analysis to delay or avoid extensive GI resection or organ transplantation. Decision-making for device implantation or surgical resection is based on intraoperative electrophysiological statistics rather than symptom scores. Postoperative risks and limitations of future theranostic devices were acknowledged.
Diffractive Parton Distributions in the Semiclassical Approach

description: Recently, a semiclassical approach to diffraction has been proposed, which treats the proton as a classical colour field. The present paper demonstrates that this approach is consistent with the concept of diffractive parton distributions. The diffractive quark and gluon distributions are expressed through integrals of non-Abelian eikonal factors in the fundamental and adjoint representation respectively. As a by-product, previously calculated diffractive cross sections for processes with a final state gluon are rederived in a simpler way.

description: We present calculations of differential cross sections for Compton scattering from the proton, using amplitudes calculated to fourth order in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We compare with available data up to 200 MeV. We find that the agreement for angles below 90 degree is acceptable over the whole energy range, but that at more backward angles the agreement decreases above about 100 MeV, and fails completely above the photoproduction threshold.
description: 13 pages RevTeX, 7 eps figures. Revised version correcting some errors, principally in the coding of 3rd order contributions; figures changed slightly and contribution from diagram 1h revised. Conclusions are largely unchanged, but the failure of the chiral expansion is visible at rather lower angles than appeared previously to be the case
