Scheduling of air conditioner based on real time price and real-time temperature

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The smart grid initiative and the market operations drive into the new concept of control able loads. This particular Paper presents a smart scheduling device of an air conditioner which demonstrates the general architecture along with practical implementation of the hardware that could be use to schedule the air condition based on real time price and temperature in order to reduce the cost of electricity bill, devoid of compromising the user comfort. The proposed architecture of overall system comprise of three parts, Data collection Part, Scheduling Part and Control part. The system collects outdoor temperature as well as dynamic price in real time. Scheduling part serves as brain of proposed system and is responsible for taking decisions based on input parameters. It determines an optimal choice of energy consumption scheduling which keeps into consideration the user comforts and formulated as nonlinear programming. Results were then applied to the air conditioner in the form of on/off and setting thermostat with help of the control unit which consisted on the infrared transmitter and receiver. At last a test bed was designed and experimental results shown that the electricity expenditure is reduced, along with that the overall suitable temperature is also maintained.
Genetic Parameters for Staple Length and Staple Strength of Merino Wool Produced in Central and North West Queensland

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Estimates of genetic parameters are presented for staple length and staple strength for 15 month old, medium Peppin sheep at Longreach and Julia Creek Queensland. The effects of birth type, sex and year of birth are shown. There were significant interactions for sex by site and for sex by year of birth. Heritability of staple length and strength were respectively 0.75 and 0.37 for the Longreach flock and 0.70 and 0.23 for the Julia Creek flock. The heritability of staple strength agrees with other published data however the estimate for staple length is very high. Phenotypic and genetic correlations with greasy fleece weight, yield, clean fleece weight, average fibre diameter and liveweight are in general agreement with other published estimates. \n \nAnimal production for a consuming world : proceedings of 9th Congress of the Asian-Australasian Association of Animal Production Societies [AAAP] and 23rd Biennial Conference of the Australian Society of Animal Production [ASAP] and 17th Annual Symposium of the University of Sydney, Dairy Research Foundation, [DRF]. 2-7 July 2000 University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
Tau Protein Preferentially Associates With Synaptic Mitochondria in a Mouse Model of Tauopathy

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract BackgroundA consequence of an aging society is a continual and dramatic increase in the number of patients suffering from tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and certain frontotemporal dementias. Accumulation of intracellular inclusions of abnormal fibrillar forms and hyperphosphorylated forms of microtubule-associated protein tau are hallmarks of AD and other tauopathies. Although tau pathology is associated with neuronal dysfunction the mechanism responsible remains obscure. In vitro , pathologically elevated expression of tau alters mitochondrial distribution by impairing cellular trafficking and thus may represent an important mediator of mitochondrial abnormalities contributing to neuronal dysfunction. We used the transgenic htau mouse model of tauopathy to investigate in vivo alterations in brain mitochondria in the presence of pathological forms of human tau.MethodsIn this study, we investigated alterations in bioenergetics and profiled the proteome of brain mitochondria from wild-type (WT) and htau mice at ages prior to and coinciding with pathologic tau deposition in htau mice. In addition, we characterized the expression of total and hyperphosphorylated forms of tau associated with synaptic mitochondria by biochemical fractionation and immunoblotting.ResultsSignificant tau pathology-dependent alterations in synaptic mitochondrial bioenergetics were observed at 8 mo nths, but not 5 months, of agein htau mice; however, non-synaptic mitochondrial function remained unaltered. Further, compared to control mice, proteins involved in microtubule-based movement were differentially expressed in htau mice at 8 months of age. In addition, significant accumulation of tau and its hyperphosphorylated forms was observed in synaptic mitochondria isolated from 8-month-old htau mice.ConclusionThese data suggest that tau preferentially associates with synaptic mitochondria as compared to non-synaptic mitochondria, and accumulation of pathologic forms of tau coincides with synaptic mitochondrial bioenergetic changes reminiscent of an aged synaptic mitochondrial phenotype reported in aging WT mice. Furthermore, the mitochondrially associated tau is soluble in carbonate buffer and more accessible to protease action suggesting it is not integrated into mitochochondrial membranes, but may rather be the result of protein-protein interactions.
Elastic fracture mechanics analysis of Bi-materials using boundary element method

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This report presents the analysis of elastic fracture problem on bimaterial using the Boundary Element Method (BEM), with the aid of using the Boundary Integral Equation (BIE) programme. The iso-parametric element numerical formulation has been employed to obtain the stress intensity factor, K_1. Several modelling are presented to show the accuracy of the BIE program, and characteristic of the stress intensity factor of the crack tip that is embedded in the bimaterial plate. In all the analysis presented in this paper will neglect the body force and thermal effect. A bimaterial plate with embedded circular inclusion has been chosen to be analyses in this project. Analysis consists of the inclusion and the crack were subjected to various influences such as the distance, angle orientation, and different materials configuration. From the analysis, it is observed that a higher Stress Intensity Factor value is obtained when a soft inclusion is present and closer relative distance were chosen between the inclusion and the crack tip were. In addition, a trend of shielding/enhancement effect on the crack tip will be discussed with in this report.
The role of olive trees in rainfall erosivity and runoff and sediment yield in the soil beneath

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract. The modification of raindrops by the canopy of olive trees increases the kinetic energy of the rain per unit area. The kinetic energy computed from the measured drop size distribution under the tree canopy in simulated rainfall experiments is greater than that received in the open, 17.1 J mm-1, as against 15.7 J mm-1 . This causes higher soil detachment and loss than that observed outside the canopy. Tillage treatments of the soil modify its erodibility, accelerate soil detachment and reduce, simultaneously, the velocity of runoff. Both effects reduce the amount of sediment compared to that observed in the non-tilled soil. The average values of soil lost per unit of rain depth and unit area were 5.81 g mm-1 m-2 (conventional tillage) and 4.02 g mm-1 m-2 (zero tillage) under the canopy compared to 0.89 g mm-1 m-2 (conventional tillage) and 0.95 g mm-1 m-2 (zero tillage) in the open.
Eosinophilic Enteritis with Eosinophilic Ascites without Eosinophilia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Eosinophilic enteritis is an uncommon disease of unknown cause characterized by eosinophilic infiltration in various areas of the gastrointestinal tract with symptoms. It is generally classified according to the layer of the gastrointestinal tract involved. Eosinophilic infiltration of the serosa is the rarest form of presentation and may manifest eosinophilic ascites. We report a case of a 47-year-old man who experienced progressing abdominal pain. A diffuse erythematous change of the gastric mucosa was observed on gastrofibroscopy. An abdominal computed tomography and colonoscopy showed diffuse wall thickening of the small bowel and colon with a small amount of ascites. Eosinophilic infiltration was confirmed by multiple biopsies of the gastrointestinal tract and peritoneal fluid analysis. The patient was treated with corticosteroid and responded dramatically.
Quantitative approach to the understanding of catalytic effect of metal oxides on the desorption reaction of MgH2

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The hydrogen desorption reaction of magnesium hydride (MgH 2 ), MgH 2 →Mg+H 2 , is accelerated by mixing catalytic metal oxides (e.g., Nb 2 O 5 ). This catalytic effect of metal oxides, M x O y , is theoretically estimated in a quantitative way using atomization energy concept. The atomization energies, Δ E M for metal ion and Δ E O for oxide ion in various metal oxides are evaluated using the energy density analysis of the total energy. It is shown that the hydrogen desorption rate increases monotonously with increasing y ×Δ E O values of metal oxides. This indicates that the oxide ion in M x O y interacts mainly with hydrogen atoms in MgH 2 . The y × Δ E O value is a measure of the magnitude of the OH interaction operating between M x O y and MgH 2 , and hence, it is indeed a good parameter to show the catalytic activities of metal oxides. This approach is useful for the analysis of other catalyst and catalytic reactions. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2009
Analisis Keterampilan Kolaborasi Siswa pada Pembelajaran IPAS SD

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study is to analyze collaboration skills in science learning for the 4th grade. This study was conducted using a descriptive quantitative methodology. Thirty primary school pupils served as the research subjects. Utilizing research instruments in the form of interview and observation sheets, data was gathered through interviews and observations. The study's result is that, with an average of each indication ranging from 20 to 50%, research subjects are classified as less and not collaborative. This is a result of the lack of application of collaboration skills, which makes their application essential for developing students' collaborative character.
Is bigger better? Dyadic and multiparty integrative negotiations

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of the study is to empirically investigate the similarities and differences between dyads and four‐party groups in an integrative negotiation. Design/methodology/approach Data are collected in a between subjects experiment. A total of 182 participants completed a negotiation role play and questionnaire. Hypotheses are tested using t‐ tests, MANOVAs and two multiple regression analyses. Findings Results demonstrate that dyads do outperform groups on both the economic and subjective measures of outcomes. Sharing of priority information and the fixed pie bias was higher in groups than in dyads. For dyads the procedure used (considering more than one issue at a time) led to higher economic outcomes, and both procedure and problem solving were important for subjective outcomes. For four‐party negotiations, problem solving was significantly related to higher outcomes, on both economic and subjective outcomes, and procedure was moderately related to economic outcomes. Problem solving was significantly more important for the groups than for dyads on economic outcomes. Research limitations/implications The controlled experimental setting could limit the generalizabiltiy of the findings. Measures of the intermediate variables could be improved by including additional items and observations. Future research is required in field settings using multiple measures of the process. Practical implications In multiparty negotiation information sharing and the presence of cognitive biases may not be as important as focusing on a problem solving approach. Originality/value An empirical investigation that groups under‐perform dyads in an integrative negotiation has not been conducted before.
Asymmetries in the Shanks-Renyi Prime Number Race

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

It has been well-observed that an inequality of the type $π(x;q,a) > π(x;q,b)$ is more likely to hold if $a$ is a non-square modulo $q$ and $b$ is a square modulo $q$ (the so-called ``Chebyshev Bias''). For instance, each of $π(x;8,3)$, $π(x;8,5)$, and $π(x;8,7)$ tends to be somewhat larger than $π(x;8,1)$. However, it has come to light that the tendencies of these three $π(x;8,a)$ to dominate $π(x;8,1)$ have different strengths. A related phenomenon is that the six possible inequalities of the form $π(x;8,a_1) > π(x;8,a_2) > π(x;8,a_3)$ with $\{a_1,a_2,a_3\}=\{3,5,7\}$ are not all equally likely---some orderings are preferred over others. In this paper we discuss these phenomena, focusing on the moduli $q=8$ and $q=12$, and we explain why the observed asymmetries (as opposed to other possible asymmetries) occur.
The Effect of Three Months of Aerobic Training on Serum Levels of Adiponectin and Resistin in Obese Men

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Nowadays, obesity is one of the major health problems in the world which is associated with lipid disorders and inflammatory profile. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of three months of aerobic training on serum levels of adiponectin and resistin in obese men. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 24 middle-aged obese men who previously had an inactive lifestyle were selected through convenient sampling in Larestan and were then randomly assigned to one experimental group (performing aerobic training three sessions per week for three month) and one control group (with no training). Fasting levels of serum adiponectin and resistin were measured in both groups before and 48 hours after the last training session. Independent samples t-test and paired samples t-test were used to determine the intra- and inter-group changes. The level of significance was set at (p≤0.05). Results: The results revealed that three months of aerobic training led to a significant decrease in participants’ body fat percentage, body mass index, and weight (p <0.05). Furthermore, though there were no significant changes in the resistin levels (p = 0.34), serum levels of adiponectin (p = 0.04) were significantly increased after aerobic training. Conclusion: It is expected that a 3-month aerobic training with an intensity of 60-80% maximum heart rate could increase the serum levels of adiponectin in the middle-aged men due to improved homeostasis and fat metabolism.
Genetic Characterization of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ Haplotypes Associated with Apiaceous Crops in France

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso) is an emerging phytopathogenic bacterium that causes significant crop losses worldwide. This bacterium has been identified in association with diseases of several solanaceous crops in the United States and New Zealand, and with carrot and celery crops in several European countries. Five Lso haplotypes (LsoA, LsoB, LsoC, LsoD, and LsoE) have now been described worldwide. In France, symptoms of Lso were observed on plants of the Apiaceae family in several regions. One hundred and ninety-two samples of apiaceous plants were collected from 2012 to 2016 in different geographical regions and were tested for the occurrence of Lso by real-time PCR assay. In addition to carrot and celery, Lso was detected in four other apiaceous crops: chervil, fennel, parsley, and parsnip. These new findings suggest that Lso has a wider natural host range within the Apiaceae family than expected. To identify the Lso haplotypes present in France, we sequenced and analyzed the 16S rRNA gene and the 50S ribosomal protein rpIJ-rpIL gene region from a representative bacterial collection of 44 Lso-positive samples. Our SNP analysis revealed the occurrence of two distinct bacterial lineages that correspond to haplotypes D and E. Then, we assessed the phylogenetic relationships between strains isolated from France and a worldwide collection of Lso isolates by using the rpIJ-rpIL gene region sequences. The neighbor-joining tree constructed delineated five clusters corresponding to the five Lso haplotypes, with LsoD and LsoE being closely related phylogenetically. Altogether, the data presented here constitute a first step toward a better understanding of the genetic diversity among Lso haplotypes in France, and provide new insights into the host range of this emerging bacterial species.
Expression profi les of PIK3CA, RUNX3, COX-2 and DMBT1 genes in brain tumor prognosis: a preliminary study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The two main subgroups of the important genes functioning in the development of cancer including brain tumors are tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. The aim of this pilot study was to determine the expression profi les of tumor suppressor genes; RUNX3 (Runt-related transcription factor 3), DMBT1 (deleted in malignant brain tumors 1), and oncogenes PIK3CA (phosphoinositide-3-kinase, catalytic, alpha polypeptide) and COX–2(Cyclooxygenase-2) in brain tumors. Explant cell cultures were performed using brain tumor tissues from the 14 cases. Total RNA was isolated from the cultured cells. Relative ratio of expression profi les of the tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes were determined by using real-time online RT-PCR. U-87MG cell line was used as positive control. The mean relative ratios of DMBT1, RUNX3, COX-2 and PIK3CA genes were found; 72.2, 59.3, 0.119 and 48.5; respectively. COX-2 over-expression correlated with a signifi cantly reduced survival (Log- Rank, p= 0.049). Suppression of DMBT1 and RUNX3 is associated with decreased survive, however no signifi cant difference was determined between expressions of PIK3CA, DMBT1 and RUNX3 genes and overallsurvival. High COX-2 expression is found to be associated with clinically more aggressive brain tumors. Our preliminary data suggests that COX-2 gene may be used as a therapeutic target.

Left ventricle geometry, echoreflectivity and CYP11B2 polymorphism C-344T in hypertensive males

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives: Hypertensive heart remodeling requires the assumption of different factors, including an increase of left ventricular mass (LVM) and myocardial fibrosis. It was shown that aldosterone stimulates cardiac collagen synthesis and fibroblast proliferation. CYP11B2 is one of the genes responsible for the effects of aldosterone. Therefore, hypertensive remodeling could be partially related to the polymorphism of this gene. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of CYP11B2 polymorphism with structural remodeling by changes in geometry and myocardial density to define their role and interaction in hypertensive heart disease. Methods: The study recruited 150 men aged 45-60 with and without essential hypertension (EH), who possessed no irreversible target organ damages. Fifty of them had normal BP, 58 had EH without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and 42 had EH and LVH. Each participant underwent office blood pressure measurement, echocardiography with echo-reflectivity analysis, and determination of the C-344T polymorphism of the aldosterone synthase gene CYP11B2. Results: Patients with EH and LVH differed not only by LV mass but also by larger body mass, relative wall thickness, and wider echo-reflectivity spectrum. The associations of larger end diastolic diameter with C allele, and the larger thickness of the posterior wall and interventricular septum with T allele, were revealed only in patients with EH and LVH. Conclusions: Hypertensive patients with LVH are likely to be a distinct cluster with their own genetic predisposition to hypertensive heart disease.
