Modified PSO Algorithm for Real-Time Energy Management in Grid-Connected Microgrids

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Real-time energy management of a converter-based microgrid is difficult to determine optimal operating points of a storage system in order to save costs and minimise energy waste. This complexity arises due to time-varying electricity prices, stochastic energy sources and power demand. Many countries have imposed real-time electricity pricing to efficiently control demand side management. This paper presents a particle swarm optimisation (PSO) for the application of real-time energy management to find optimal battery controls of a community microgrid. The modification of the PSO consists in altering the cost function to better model the battery charging/discharging operations. As optimal control is performed by formulating a cost function, it is suitably analysed and then a dynamic penalty function in order to obtain the best cost function is proposed. Several case studies with different scenarios are conducted to determine the effectiveness of the proposed cost function. The proposed cost function can reduce operational cost by 12% as compared to the original cost function over a time horizon of 96 hours. Simulation results reveal the suitability of applying the regularised PSO algorithm with the proposed cost function, which can be adjusted according to the need of the community, for real-time energy management.

Development of the navigational system for a multi-spectral imaging nano-satellite

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The navigational system of the satellite is required for determination of the position and velocity of a satellite. This is required for obtaining outputs from ephemeris models such as IGRF, WMM and Earth reflectivity for albedo. Given the high pointing requirements for an imaging payload, there exists a need for highly accurate position and velocity information as it affords greater room for inaccuracies to the entire attitude determination, estimation and control system. The navigation system comprises 2 major segments - orbit determination and orbit propagation. The orbit determination segment is responsible for calculating the current position and velocity vectors which is to be carried out using GNSS/GPS receivers. The data from the GNSS receivers provides measurements with errors within acceptable limits given the constraints by our payload. The data obtained from orbit determination is used for initialisation in orbit prop-agation. The in-house orbit propagator has the responsibility of providing an estimated satellite position and velocity at any future point in time along with the reference frame vectors such as the magnetic field vector and Sun vector, which would be utilised in the attitude estimation assembly and power production. This information would in turn be useful for switching between the satellite's various modes of operation. The orbit propagator will be implemented in C due to faster run time and ease of implementation on microcontrollers. The accuracy of this system is verified against data from proven softwares such as NASA's General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT). We will also be calculating the magnetic field vector field and sun vector using our current position and power generated using the sun vector and the solar panel specifications. There also arises a need to create a system of repeated propa-gation, given the increase in error as the satellite state is propa-gated further into the future. From our pointing requirements (obtained from payload) and the pointing error, we can calculate the tolerable error in position. Using this tolerable error and the modes of operations, we will then develop an algorithm which will optimise the usage of GPS receivers, as they consume significant energy. The exact specifications for such a system are also being investigated. The Orbit propagator incorporates J2 perturbations, solar ra-diation pressure and atmospheric drag. Although various other perturbing forces act on the satellite as well such as gravitational effects from other celestial bodies, higher order perturbations from the Earth's gravitational field among others, the effect of these forces is considered negligible compared to the forces which are included. Various numerical schemes for propagation of satellite state were also investigated in order to find an optimal balance between accuracy and computational requirements.
Assessment of groundwater quality in rural areas of Mbala District, Zambia

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Access to good quality drinking water still remains a challenge in most rural areas of Zambia, Africa. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of groundwater for human consumption in rural areas of Mbala district in Zambia. A total of fifty nine (59) water samples were collected from fifty nine (59) boreholes in the aforementioned district. The water samples were analysed for physical, chemical and microbiological parameters using standard techniques specific for each parameter. Results were compared to the Zambian Bureau of Standards (ZABS) guideline values for drinking water and in some cases, with WHO guideline values if known. In general, most water parameters in Mbala district complied with ZABS drinking water guideline values. A few chemical parameters which include pH ranging from 5.1 to 6.98, sodium from 0.001mg/L to 49.9mg/L, sulphate from 2mg/L to 18.76mg/L, iron from 0 to 10.22mg/L and manganese from 0 to 0.23mg/L did not meet ZABS drinking water guideline values at a few boreholes. TSS and turbidity ranged from 0 to 133mg/L and 2 to 358NTU respectively. A few exceedances of the aforementioned parameters were recorded at a few boreholes. In contrast, significantly high turbidity levels (>20NTU) were recorded at a few boreholes in the district thus posing a significant threat to the health of the consumers. In terms of microbiological parameters, a few boreholes did not meet the ZABS drinking water guideline values for total coliforms rendering the water supplies from the affected boreholes unfit for human consumption unless boiled or treated with chlorine.Keywords: Groundwater, Zambia, rural areas, water quality, Mbala district
Archaeological research on the site of Stari Grad in Ivanec (2007-2010)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

U sredistu Ivanca na lokalitetu Stari grad Institut za arheologiju je nastavio arheoloska istraživanja. Do sada je na lokalitetu istraženo skoro 300 grobnih ukopa, najvise na prostoru u i oko goticke crkva sv. Ivana Krstitelja koje se svojedobno nalazila u dvoristu renesansnoga kastela. Grobovi su – na temelju nalaza, pojedinih znacajki ali prvenstveno stratigrafskih odnosa – razvrstani u pet faza ukopavanja. Prigodom istraživanja sjeverne kule Staroga grada otkriveni su temelji nekog starijeg objekta, vjerojatno romanicke crkve. Takvu pretpostavku potkrepljuje veliki broj grobova, osobito onih najstarijih faza. Osobito su znacajni grobovi s nalazima S-karicica te grobovi s oblogom od kamenja. Njihovi ukopi nisu osteceni ovim temeljima i prate liniju pružanja novootkrivenog objekta. Istocno od kule otkriven je veliki obrambeni jarak koji je presjekao sjeveroistocni ugao svetista romanicke crkve. O ranijem životu na lokalitetu svjedoce pronađeni fragmenti kulturnih slojeva – crnoga i smeđega – u kojima je bilo nalaza lijepa. U sloju crne zemlje nalaženi su i ulomci keramike ukrasene valovnicom koje oprezno možemo datirati u 9. ili 10. stoljece, dok je u smeđem sloju, koji se nalazio ispod crnoga, nađeno nesto provincijalne anticke keramike. Istraživanja se i dalje nastavljaju a konacan je cilj prezentacija najzanimljivijih nađenih ostataka u arheoloskome parku u centru Ivanca.
Danishness in the Viking age: Violence, Christianity, and boundary perception in the construction of medieval Danish identity

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This project looks at the development of Danish identity in the Viking Age. By analyzing internal and external descriptions of perceptions of the Danes in this tumultuous period of history, it is possible to understand how different conceptions of Danishness all interacted to craft a very specific image of Danish ethnicity. This thesis first looks at the history of identity studies themselves, and how the understanding and definitions of ethnicity have shifted across disciplines. It then applies this framework to the Frankish annals, a series of sources that provide contemporary Viking Age information on the Danes, and the Gesta Danorum, an internal Danish source produced after the end of the Viking Age. Ultimately it shows how the twin themes of violence and Christianity affected the construction and perceptions of Danishness in the Viking Age. It also indicates that the Danes, although often seen as peripheral to other European peoples, were inextricably intertwined with the early medieval European world.
Polish Eagles and Peace Doves: Polish Veterans between Nationalism and Internationalism

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

11 November has been celebrated in Warsaw since 1918. It was not only the day of armistice on the Western front, but also the day Poland regained independence. In 1926, it became an official holiday on Pilsudski's orders.1 Patriotic symbols — the red and white flag and the Polish eagle — and anthems — especially the national anthem 'Jeszcze Polska nie zginęla' (Poland is not yet lost) and the anthem of the Polish Legion's first brigade 'My, pierwsza brygada' (We are the First Brigade) — accompanied the celebrations.2 Even though it was celebrated as Independence Day, Swięto Niepodleglosci, 11 November was highly influenced by the 'Western' meaning of Armistice Day, without which independence could not have been reinstalled.3 Western European symbols and rituals were adapted: in 1925, Poland buried their own Unknown Soldier. Polish difficulties in dealing with the memory of the First World War were clearly expressed by the fact that only battlefields of the border wars had been considered, thus ruling out the risk of choosing an Unknown Soldier who had served with the armies of the partitioning powers, Germany, Austria and Russia.4 The ceremony included many references to the First World War, such as a one-minute silence, a ritual copied from the British ceremony5

Who Called the Cops?: Decisions To Report Criminal Victimization

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

An important intersection of the disciplines of law and social science is the social setting of law enforcement. The point of application of the law is almost completely social, with the exception of the totally automated justice of parking violations (Skolnick, 1966). The social factors in the enforcement encounter which produce the official definition of crime have been discussed in studies of police discretion (Skolnick, 1966; Cicourel, 1968), police/suspect interaction (Piliavin and Briar, 1964; Wertham and Piliavin, 1967; Black and Reiss, 1970), and the influence of complainants' wishes and demeanor on police action (Black, 1970). A second social setting that greatly influences the extent of law enforcement and the resultant official crime rate is the setting of victimization. This setting occurs prior to the enforcement encounter and is quite distinct from it except in cases of police observation of crime. The setting of victimization has received relatively little research attention. Questions pertaining to the perception of victimization and the subsequent decision by the victim on ways to handle the situation have not been systematically addressed. The goal of this study is to decribe why, and under what conditions, victims decide to invoke formal sanctioning procedures in response to criminal victimization.
A new species of Phylloscopus warbler from central China

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A new species of leaf warbler (Sylviidae: Phylloscopus) is described from the mountains of central China. Morphologically it is slightly, yet significantly, different from the partly sympatric P. (proregulus) chloronotus. However, both song and calls are very different, and playback tests elicited no response from either species to the other's song. There are also differences in habitat preference and breeding biology of the two species.
Pulmonary rehabilitation in pneumoconiosis: a propensity matched analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introductions: The benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are well established. Limited data supports its role in pneumoconiosis. Aims: To assess completion rates and response to PR in pneumoconiosis patients, and compare them with a matched group of COPD patients. Methods: Using a case-control design, 15 pneumoconiosis patients who were referred to us for PR were matched with a control group of 15 COPD patients, propensity score-matched to age, sex, FEV1%predicted, BMI, 6MWT and mMRC dyspnea score. Their PR completion rates(defined by attending ≥50% of 24 supervised outpatient PR sessions and a post-PR assessment), change in exercise capacity (assessed by 6-min walking test (6MWT), functional performance (by monitored functional task evaluation (MFTE), and health-related quality of life (by chronic respiratory questionnaire (CRQ) were compared between groups. Results: PR completion rates were similar in pneumoconiosis and COPD group (86.7% versus 80.0%, p=1.00). They attended similar number of PR sessions (median(25th,75th centiles): 24(20,24) in pneumoconiosis versus 22(18,24) in COPD patients, p=0.567). With PR, significant improvements in exercise, functional performance, and health-status outcomes were observed in pneumoconiosis group, similar to that observed in the matched COPD group. (Table 1) Conclusions: PR benefits pneumoconiosis patients in a magnitude similar to that of COPD patients.

(1951).It differs greatly from the antihaemophilic globulin, and the blood from patients with true haemophilia (antihaemophilic globulin deficiency) is as effective as is normal blood in correcting the clotting abnormality in the blood or plasma of patients with Christmas disease.In the treatment of haemorrhage in cases of Christmas disease concentrated preparations of antihaemo- philic globulin are ineffective.
The pathology of the spleen in lethal canine babesiosis caused by Babesia rossi

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Abstract To provide useful information based on the macropathology, histopathology and immunohistochemical investigation in the spleens of dogs with Babesia rossi infection. Control spleens were collected from four healthy dogs euthanized for welfare reasons. Nine dogs that died naturally because of a mono‐infection with Babesia rossi were selected for the diseased group. One haematoxylin‐and‐eosin–stained section of splenic tissue from each of the infected and control dogs was examined under the light microscope. Immunohistochemical markers were applied to characterize different immunocyte populations. The application of analytic software enabled semi‐quantitative comparison of leucocyte subpopulations. Routine splenic histopathology revealed diffuse intermingling of white and red pulp from infected dogs with a clear loss of distinction between these zones. Immunohistochemistry revealed an increase in the proportion of tissue resident and bone marrow origin macrophages in the infected spleens. Apart from a few remnant lymphocytes within the peri‐arteriolar lymphatic sheaths and follicles, the majority of the immunocytes redistributed to the red pulp, supporting the observation of white and red pulp intermingling. The majority of our findings are in agreement with histomorphological descriptions of the spleen in a variety of noncanid mammalian hosts with lethal malaria or babesiosis.
Historical Redlining, Social Determinants of Health, and Stroke Prevalence in Communities in New York City

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Importance Historical redlining was a discriminatory housing policy that placed financial services beyond the reach of residents in inner-city communities. The extent of the impact of this discriminatory policy on contemporary health outcomes remains to be elucidated. Objective To evaluate the associations among historical redlining, social determinants of health (SDOH), and contemporary community-level stroke prevalence in New York City. Design, Setting, and Participants An ecological, retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted using New York City data from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018. Data from the population-based sample were aggregated on the census tract level. Quantile regression analysis and a quantile regression forests machine learning model were used to determine the significance and overall weight of redlining in relation to other SDOH on stroke prevalence. Data were analyzed from November 5, 2021, to January 31, 2022. Exposures Social determinants of health included race and ethnicity, median household income, poverty, low educational attainment, language barrier, uninsurance rate, social cohesion, and residence in an area with a shortage of health care professionals. Other covariates included median age and prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, smoking, and hyperlipidemia. Weighted scores for historical redlining (ie, the discriminatory housing policy in effect from 1934 to 1968) were computed using the mean proportion of original redlined territories overlapped on 2010 census tract boundaries in New York City. Main Outcomes and Measures Stroke prevalence was collected from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 500 Cities Project for adults 18 years and older from 2014 to 2018. Results A total of 2117 census tracts were included in the analysis. After adjusting for SDOH and other relevant covariates, the historical redlining score was independently associated with a higher community-level stroke prevalence (odds ratio [OR], 1.02 [95% CI, 1.02-1.05]; P &amp;lt; .001). Social determinants of health that were positively associated with stroke prevalence included educational attainment (OR, 1.01 [95% CI, 1.01-1.01]; P &amp;lt; .001), poverty (OR, 1.01 [95% CI, 1.01-1.01]; P &amp;lt; .001), language barrier (OR, 1.00 [95% CI, 1.00-1.00]; P &amp;lt; .001), and health care professionals shortage (OR, 1.02 [95% CI, 1.00-1.04]; P = .03). Conclusions and Relevance This cross-sectional study found that historical redlining was associated with modern-day stroke prevalence in New York City independently of contemporary SDOH and community prevalence of some relevant cardiovascular risk factors.
262 MEIOTIC SPINDLE CONFORMATION ASSESSMENT BY POLARIZED LIGHT MICROSCOPY IN SHEEP AND GOAT OOCYTES

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Polarized light microscopy (PLM) allows detection of microtubule-polymerized protein in in vitro-matured sheep and goat oocytes (Caamaño et al. 2011 Reprod. Fertil. Dev. 23, 226–227). Spindle birefringence, measured as the mean retardance value, has been proposed as a marker of meiotic spindle conformation in humans and mice. Because the conformation of the meiotic spindle cannot be readily assessed by PLM, in this study we aimed to measure the mean retardance value of normal and abnormal meiotic spindles from in vitro-matured prepubertal sheep and goat oocytes. Oocytes were matured in vitro for 27 h and were then individually assessed by PLM (Oosight System, Research Instruments Ltd., Falmouth, Cornwall, UK), and the mean retardance value was analysed in meiotic spindles using specific software (Oosight). Meiotic spindle conformation was determined in individual oocytes by immunostaining and chromatin detection, as described by Morató et al. (2008 Mol. Reprod. Dev. 75, 191–201). A barrel-shaped spindle was considered a normal spindle configuration. Only oocytes with meiotic spindles identified by both PLM and immunostaining were used in this study. The experiment was replicated four times. Data were analysed by the general linear models procedure of SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). A normal barrel-shaped spindle was observed in 80.8% of the sheep oocytes (n = 47) and in 83.9% of the goat oocytes (n = 62). In sheep, the mean retardance value in oocytes with a normal meiotic spindle conformation did not differ from that in oocytes with abnormal spindles (4.42 ± 0.26 nm v. 3.92 ± 0.54 nm). Similar results were obtained with goat oocytes with normal (2.94 ± 0.20 nm) v. abnormal spindle conformation (2.77 ± 0.08 nm). These results indicate that the mean retardance value does not distinguish between oocytes with normal and abnormal meiotic spindle conformation, as assessed by subsequent immunostaining.

On Easily Reconstructable Logic Functions

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper shows that sum-of-product expression (SOP) minimization produces the generalization ability. We show this in three steps. First, various classes of SOPs are generated. Second, minterms of SOP are randomly selected to generate partially defined functions. And, third, from the partially defined functions, original functions are reconstructed by SOP minimization. We consider Achilles heel functions, majority functions, monotone increasing cascade functions, functions generated from random SOPs, monotone increasing random SOPs, circle functions, and globe functions. As for the generalization ability, the presented method is compared with Naive Bayes, multi-level perceptron, support vector machine, JRIP, J48, and random forest. For these functions, in many cases, only 10% of the input combinations are sufficient to reconstruct more than 90% of the truth tables of the original functions.
