Development of a load monitoring system for residential purposes

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

As we move towards a sustainable future, efforts are taken upon to improve the overall system efficiency. This is due to the continuous growth unfavourable pattern of loads and consumptions, which led to power utilities operating at low and deteriorating load factor. NALM is the solution for Demand Side Management, which provides the consumer ability to deliberately intervene to their energy usage patterns by making change to their lifestyle. With NALM’s nonintrusive characteristics, it would be widely accepted and applicable to old and existing infrastructure. However, NALM has seen slow adoption rate due to the complexity of the disaggregation techniques. Here, the aim would be to provide a basis by showcasing steady-state disaggregation techniques by having real power as its initial parameter for discerning the active devices. Subsequently, the reactive power parameter is introduce to target overlapping power characteristics. Lastly, practical applications has demonstrated useful to the consumer by developing a graphic user interface which allows interaction by means of setting energy consumption limits and having a feedback system which notifies the user when his pre-set limit is approached or has exceeded. It is evident from the findings that with simple hardware, NALM would be of great convenience to the consumer. It will provide the consumer with vital power usage information and allowing different forms of intervention to his consumption patterns.
Research on Three-Phase Grid-Connected Control System Based on Current Decoupling

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Based on the dq model of the three-phase grid-connected inverter, the first-order and second-order current decoupling closed-loop control algorithms are deduced in detail. The first-order and second-order current decoupling grid-connected control system are simulated and verified by Matlab/Simulink. At the same time, an experimental platform is further built with DSP as the control core for experimental verification. The simulation and experimental results show that the grid-connected control system based on current decoupling works well, the amplitude and phase of the grid-connected current are controllable, and it can transmit energy from the DC side to the grid side with unity power factor.
Co-constructing the sustainable city: how indicators help us “grow” more than just food in community gardens

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Since Agenda 21, local governments have sought ways of engaging urban citizens in the creation of more sustainable cities. Community garden (CG) activities are frequently described as contributing positively to the development of socially and environmentally sustainable local communities, yet a suitable set of indicators for valuing these benefits are yet to be established. Indicators were formed through a participatory process allowing individuals to use and learn from them. This can usefully contribute to policy decisions and be meaningful to urban planners and local community gardeners. A set of social and ecological indicators that aligned with local government policy areas and accountability frameworks were developed. Indicators were derived with local government officers, CG members, and industry experts. The practical necessity of devising indicators that can realistically be monitored by CG participants and be of political and ideological use to local governments and wider community stakeholders, is demonstrated.
Infusion of Smartphone Technologies in Hospitality Service Experience

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study explored the infusion of smartphone technologies into hospitality service experience from a phenomenological approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with smartphone users who had firsthand hospitality service experience. Data analysis revealed four unique patterns within smartphone-equipped customers’ service experiences: the extended control facilitated by smartphone technologies, the functional gap between mediated and interpersonal services, the infusion of solitude into a communal experience, and the interactions among different service processes. Based on these results, this study developed a conceptual framework of the infusion of smartphone technologies in hospitality service experience. Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings were also discussed.
Role of ticlopidine for prevention of stroke.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Ticlopidine, an antiplatelet agent with a unique mechanism of action, is now available for clinical use in the United States and Canada. Recently two large randomized trials demonstrated that ticlopidine can reduce the risk of subsequent stroke in patients presenting with a transient ischemic attack or stroke. One study found that ticlopidine was more effective than aspirin for stroke prevention; however, it was less well tolerated than aspirin and was associated with severe but reversible neutropenia in almost 1% of patients. Ticlopidine is effective for both primary and secondary stroke prevention. It has a favorable risk/benefit ratio and is a particularly attractive option for patients who are unable to take aspirin.
Risk of Type 1 Diabetes Development in Children With Incidental Hyperglycemia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

OBJECTIVE—The aim of our study was to determine whether children with incidental hyperglycemia are at an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A total of 748 subjects, 1–18 years of age (9.04 ± 3.62, mean ± SD), without family history of type 1 diabetes, without obesity, and not receiving drugs were studied and found to have incidental elevated glycemia defined as fasting plasma glucose &gt;5.6 mmol/l confirmed on two occasions. Subjects were tested for immunological, metabolic, and immunogenetic markers. RESULTS—Islet cell antibodies &gt;5 Juvenile Diabetes Foundation units were found in 10% of subjects, elevated insulin autoantibody levels in 4.6%, GAD antibody in 4.9%, and anti-tyrosine phosphatase-like protein autoantibodies in 3.9%. First-phase insulin response (FPIR) was &lt;1st centile in 25.6% of subjects. The HLA-DR3/DR3 and HLA-DR4/other alleles were more frequent in hyperglycemic children than in normal control subjects (P = 0.012 and P = 0.005, respectively), and the HLA-DR other/other allele was less frequent than in normal control subjects (P = 0.000027). After a median follow-up of 42 months (range 1 month to 7 years), 16 (2.1%) subjects (11 males and 5 females), 4.1–13.9 years of age, became insulin dependent. All had one or more islet autoantibodies, and the majority had impaired insulin response and genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. Diabetes symptoms were recorded in 11 patients and ketonuria only in 4 patients. The cumulative risk of type 1 diabetes was similar in males and females, and it was also similar in subjects under or over 10 years, whereas the cumulative risk of type 1 diabetes was increased in subjects with one or more autoantibodies and in those with FPIR &lt;1st centile. CONCLUSIONS—Children with incidental hyperglycemia have a higher-than-normal frequency of immunological, metabolic, or genetic markers for type 1 diabetes and have an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

Investigation on autonomous docking of food catering truck to aircraft

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The problem that trying to solve in this project is investigating a food catering truck assistant system which can help the operator to dock the truck precisely. There is more and more food catering truck accidents in recent years, it brings a lot of unnecessary troubles. For example, the food truck damage the aircraft will cause the unnecessary cost, this is a huge cost to the food providing company. As well as the delay of the flight will bring unnecessary trouble to the passengers. By research the docking process of the food catering truck, as well as to understand the framework of the truck. The function of the food catering truck still can improve to the next level, as well as the safety standards.The approach i adopt to solve the problem is installing the ultrasonic sensors in front of the chassis cab and the platform, As well as a video cam on the canopy. There are two display screen which mounted in the chassis cab and vanbody. It will help the driver done all the docking process safety. However, this project is main focus on the research. It could not install the sensors on the real food catering truck to do the test. There may have problems occur during the installing or the images display on the screen. All those things should repeated debugging to find the errors. For example, the position of the sensors, the connection of the sensors as well as the type of sensors. When it comes to the real, there will have more problems encounter. However i am sure that installing sensors to improve the safety standard is in the right track. In the end, all the docking process are showing in the video form which done by software AutoCAD and Maya.
Reduced Renal Papillary Plasma Flow in Non-Ascitic Cirrhotic Rats

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

1. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether an abnormality of the renal papillary circulation is present in a well-established model of cirrhosis without ascites (carbon tetrachloride/phenobarbital). 2. Compared with the control animals, cirrhotic rats showed a reduced diuretic (61.0 ±5.1 versus 18.0 ±2.5%) and natriuretic (67.8 ±8.3 versus 29.6 ±3.6%) response to a volume expansion (3% body weight infusion of 0.9% NaCl). The volume expansion-induced increase in renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure was also blunted in the cirrhotic rats (control 9.3 ±0.9 versus cirrhotic 6.1±1.0 mmHg) and there were no differences in mean arterial blood pressure, renal blood flow or glomerular filtration rate between control and cirrhotic animals. 3. Papillary plasma flow was determined by the 125I-albumin accumulation technique and expressed as mlmin−1100 g−1. In the basal state, papillary plasma flow was significantly lower in cirrhotic rats (59.1 ±4.4, n = 9) than in the control animals (81.8 ±6.9, n = 9). An isotonic saline expansion similar to the one described above significantly increased papillary plasma flow in control rats (108.4±9.1, n = 7) but did not change it in cirrhotic rats (60.2 ±4.9, n = 6). 4. Our results indicate the existence of a selective alteration in the renal papillary circulation in cirrhotic rats, both in the basal state and after a well-established vasodilatory stimulus. The reduced papillary plasma flow of the cirrhotic animals, probably mediated through changes in renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure, may participate in the sodium and water retention that precedes the development of ascites and may be an important mechanism mediating the blunted renal response to extracellular volume expansion.
IDDF2020-ABS-0014 Comparison of the efficacy of povidone-iodine and normal saline wash in preventing surgical site infections in laparotomy wounds-randomized controlled trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background

Povidine-Iodine has been utilized as a broad-spectrum antiseptic irrigation in the wound management processes for many years. However, some recent studies showed that the infection rate in laparotomy wounds decreases more by using normal saline. The study aims to examine the decreasing infection rate in laparotomy wounds by comparing the effectiveness and safety of povidine-iodine solution with normal saline.

Methods

The patients undergoing elective laparotomies were included and randomly assigned to 2 groups. In the first group(90), incision wounds were flushed with 5% povidine-iodine solution. In the second group(90), incisions were flushed with 0.9% normal saline solution. By comparing the infection rates of the wound, outcomes were measured between the two groups.

Results

Surgical site infections were seen in 16 of 180(12.5%) patients in povidine-iodine versus 7 in normal saline groups. The difference in the infection rates in the two studied groups(p = 0.6) has no statistical significance.

Conclusions

The infection rate in laparotomy wounds did not increase or decrease when the wound was irrigated with 5% povidone-iodine solution or with 0.9% saline solution.
Modelling of autogenous healing for regular concrete via a discrete model

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper a numerical model for autogenous healing of normal strength concrete is \npresented in detail, along with preliminary results of its validation, which is planned to be achieved \nby comparing the results of numerical analyses with those of a dedicated experimental campaign. \nRecently the SMM (Solidification-Microprestress-Microplane model M4) model for concrete, which \nmakes use of a modified microplane model M4 and the solidification-microprestress theory, has been \nextended to incorporate the autogenous healing effects. The moisture and heat fields, as well as \nthe hydration degree, are obtained from the solution of a hygro-thermo-chemical problem, which is \ncoupled with the SMM model. The updated model can also simulate the effects of cracking on the \npermeability and the restoring effect of the self-healing on the mechanical constitutive laws, i.e. the \nmicroplane model. In this work, the same approach is introduced into a discrete model, namely the \nLattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM). A numerical example is presented to validate the proposed \ncomputational model employing experimental data from a recent test series undertaken at Politecnico \ndi Milano.
CHANGES OF COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION WITH CONCOMITANT DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE 2

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Relevance. Till now there is no clear clinical trial understanding of the relationship between hypertension (AH) and the patient's cognitive function. Objective: the investigation of changes in cognitive function in patients with hypertension with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Materials and methods. 215 people were examined: Group I (n = 131) – stage II hypertensive disease (HD); Group II (n = 46) – HD, combined with diabetes mellitus2; Group III, control (n = 38) – without a diagnosis of HD and diabetes mellitus2. All examined blood pressure (BP), echocardiogram. Clinical complaints, anamnestic data, and neuropsychiatric testing data were used to diagnose moderate cognitive impairment (MCI). Used modified diagnostic criteria J. Touchon, R. Petersen. To assess cognitive function used: Short scale of assessment of mental state (Mini-Mental State Examination - MMSE); Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB); clock drawing test; test for literal and categorical associations; Schulte tables; the Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) and the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR). Result. In patients with HD, the most significant risk factors for moderate cognitive impairment are hypercholesterolemia and overweight (with OR 1.8), obesity (OR 1.6), the presence of concomitant diabetes mellitus2, which, especially in overweight, significantly impairs cognitive function ( OR 2.56). Deterioration of cognitive function correlates with the duration of HD, cholesterol levels. Concomitant diabetes mellitus2 in patients with HD creates a statistically significant additional negative effect on the results of cognitive function. In patients with HD with a distorted daily blood pressure profile, the neurodynamic component of cognitive function is first of all affected - conceptualization, repetition, the reaction of choice. The relationship between cognitive function and daily monitoring of blood pressure often have a U-shaped relationship, where the maximum indicators of cognitive function are at the level of the optimal recommended blood pressure figures (130-139 mm Hg for SBP, and 75-85 mm Hg for DBP, and the daily index within 10%). Conclusions. There is a dependence on changes in cognitive function on the presence of risk factors and signs of subclinical damage to target organs. The nonlinear U-shaped character of the relationship between the average daily, average night, and average daily blood pressure and the results of screening tests and scales for assessing cognitive function are shown.
Admittance of an Aperture Antenna Radiating into a Warm Overdense Plasma Layer,

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The input impedance of an aperture radiating into a warm, overdense plasma layer is derived and studied. In the limit when the warm plasma layer is thin the author has found that the thin sheath approximation first obtained by Fante still holds, provided that in addition to the usual conditions, some additional simple constraints are satisfied.

Chemotherapy-Induced Malignancies in Rats after Treatment with Cisplatin as Single Agent and in Combination: Preliminary Results

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

6 groups of 24-50 BD IX rats, each, were treated with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP)-(II) alone or in combination chemotherapy. The animals were either bearing transplanted adenocarcinomas of the stomach or large bowel, or were treated without having any tumors, to study the long-term consequences of the chemotherapy. CDDP was given within 3 weeks either as 9 X 1 mg/kg body weight, or 9 X 2 mg/kg. Autopsy findings revealed fibrosarcomas of the kidneys and/or leukemias in each of the six groups, while the 77 animals of the control group, which did not receive chemotherapeutic agents, did not show any malignancies in postmortem examinations. In one group of rats, which received CDDP in combination with 1-methyl-1-nitroso-urea (MNU), 50% of the animals that survived chemotherapy for more than 100 days died of malignancies, mainly of fibrosarcomas of the kidneys and leukemias. In another group, 24% of the animals, which survived more than 100 days after chemotherapy with CDDP alone, had developed myeloic leukemias. We therefore may presume that a carcinogenic risk in cancer chemotherapy with CDDP is also present in humans.
Imaging of Angiogenesis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Arterial occlusion causes hypoxia or ischemia that is the principal natural stimuli for endogenous angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is an adaptation to hypoxia and/or ischemia, providing increased perfusion and oxygenation through new vessel growth. There are no widely available biomarkers or imaging approaches that permit the detection of angiogenesis or allow the selection of patients that are likely to respond to angiogenic therapy. Therefore, noninvasive imaging strategies will be critical for defining the temporal characteristics of angiogenesis, defining those patients that are more likely to respond to therapy, and assessing efficacy of these angiogenic therapies. The goal of therapeutic angiogenesis in management of ischemic disease is to stimulate new blood vessel growth and thereby improve perfusion, tissue oxygenation, substrate exchange, and function. The process of therapeutic angiogenesis involves growth and differentiation of new vasculature capable of restoring blood supply to the ischemic tissue.

Research work was designed by random blocks and repeated 3 times. Such indexes of different provenances as the height,ground diameter,aboveground biomass and underground biomass of seedlings were studied through variance analysis and multiple comparison method. The results indicated that the seedling height and ground diameter growth of different provenances had a significant difference. There was great difference in individual biomass and the biomass ratio between the underground part and the aboveground part of the different provenances. Through comprehensive evaluation,provenances 7,10,1,2 and 4 performed excellently.
Enforcing against state assets:the case for restricting private creditor enforcement and how judges in England have used "context" when applying the "commercial purposes" test

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article focuses on some recent cases involving attempts by private creditors to enforce judgments against state assets. It examines how the international law rules on state immunity which permit enforcement but only against assets used for commercial purposes have been applied in domestic courts. In particular it highlights an emerging trend in English cases where “context” has been used to protect state assets from seizure. It considers enforcement against the wider question of sovereign debt restructuring and concludes that, apart from a few exceptions, courts are protecting state assets despite increased pressure from creditors.
