Uncertainty Quantification for the Trailing-Edge Noise of a Controlled-Diffusion Airfoil

A study that examine uncertainties associated with the prediction of trailing-edge noise, through an uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework, using RANS computations or conventional LES computations, in order to determine their respective robustness and accuracy is presented. The uncertainty is introduced at the inlet boundary of the restricted computational domain. The physical variations in the experimental flow measurements are taken into account by selecting a 2.5% error bound on the streamwise velocity U and a 10% error bound on the crosswise velocity V around the deterministic numerical solution. This observation is a significant departure from RANS computations where the second recirculation zone beyond mid-chord never occurs for low aoa. This difference is related to the used RANS modelisation that is considering fully turbulent flows and therefore cannot correctly take into account the laminar and transition regions whereas LES calculations do.

Epigenetic Regulation of Angiogenesis and Its Intervention by Traditional Chinese Medicine

Neovascularization refers to the generation of new blood vessels from the existing vascular system, which occurs in the development of various tissues and organs and in the repair of injuries, and is mainly dependent on a variety of growth factors and hypoxia-induced, and plays an important role in the complex molecular mechanisms of the development of many diseases, including tumors, diabetes mellitus, inflammation, chronic liver disease, cardiac disease, and degenerative eye disease, etc., and the inhibition or promotion of neovascularization has emerged as a potential strategy for the treatment of these diseases Inhibition or promotion of neovascularization is one of the potential strategies for the treatment of these diseases. Epigenetic inheritance refers to changes in gene expression or cellular phenotypes in which genetic information occurs through certain mechanisms or pathways that can be preserved and passed on to offspring without altering the DNA sequence. In recent years, epigenetics has played an increasingly important role in the study of angiogenesis and is involved in the normal regulation of many angiogenic pathways and disease-related abnormal processes. This review explores how epigenetics affects different aspects of angiogenesis and its treatment by Chinese medicine interventions, in order to better understand the mechanisms of disease onset and progression, and to provide new ideas for disease prevention and treatment as well as drug development.

Perception of Emotional Responses to Social Interactions by Chinese and American Children

In the first stage of this study, groups of Chinese and American kindergarten children were asked to describe the kinds of situations that would make them feel happy, sad, afraid, or angry. Situations mentioned in each emotional category by both Chinese and American kindergarten children were written up as short stories and administered to second grade children from each cultural group. The responses of the Chinese and American second grade children to the social interaction situations were generally consistent with the spontaneous answers given by the kindergarten youngsters. The Chinese and American groups differed in that the Chinese second grade children perceived significantly more angry reactions whereas the American second grade children perceived significantly more sad reactions. An explanation was suggested on the basis of probable variations in child rearing practices in the two cultures.

Interlaboratory determination of copper, chromium and arsenic in timber treated with preservative

Precision analyses of timber treated with preservative are an important part of quality control in the New Zealand timber preservation industry. Determinations of Cu, Cr and As remain important criteria in this industry. Repeatability and reproducibility values for two interlaboratory trials are calculated. The repeatability for the Rotorua interlaboratory trial ranged from 0.0109 to 0.0497% for Cu, 0.0190 to 0.600% for Cr and 0.0121 to 0.0346% for As, while reproducibility values ranged from 0.0121 to 0.0663% for Cu, 0.0389 to 0.1951% for Cr and 0.0342 to 0.1298% for As. The Queensland interlaboratory trial also produced repeatability and reproducibility values similar to those for the Rotorua trial. Significant differences between laboratories were found for the determination of Cu, Cr and As. Overall, the data from both interlaboratory trials were similar. Increased awareness of quality assurance programmes is seen as essential to improve the performance of laboratories involved in the timber preservation industry.

P&amp;O method controls applied to grid connected PV systems

This paper proposes a fuzzy adaptive P&O controller for photovoltaic generation in AC systems. The goal of this controller is to overcome the MPPT accuracy of the classic P&O, which is impaired by the fixed step-size of the duty-cycle variation. Therefore, the fuzzy adaptive P&O controller varies the duty-cycle step-size to achieve fast dynamic response and accurate MPPT with reduced oscillation in steady state. Here, proposed algorithm as well as the classic P&O algorithm is assessed through a hardware-in-the-loop simulation in PSCAD/EMTDC environment. The controllers are compared in terms of performance, implementation availability and complexity.

Brutal neglect: Australian rural women's access to health services

Access to health services in rural Australia has been particularly problematic because of the vast geographical areas and the sparse population distribution across the inland. The focus on health servicing has been very much on primary health care with most attention being giving to the distribution of doctors in rural Australia. This study takes a closer look at rural health servicing through the eyes of women in rural Australia. Drawing on a survey of 820 women, the study revealed that a focus on primary health care may be resulting in a lack of attention to women's health in areas, such as maternity models of care, domestic violence and mental health. The study also reveals the disquiet of Australian rural women at the poor state of health services.

TouchPaper

Augmented reality applications are increasingly used to enhance physical objects with digital information. In this paper, we present a TouchPaper system that consists of a mobile application and a cloud-based image recognition service. Through an authoring system, images can be linked to online content that will be invoked when a printed version of the image is captured and "touched" on a mobile phone screen. We describe a sBIP (Structured Binary Intensity Pattern) algorithm that performs the matching of the images and evaluate the performance of the overall TouchPaper system.

Strategic Entry Points for ECD Investments

Discusses options for strategic entry points in early childhood development (ECD): (1) center-based ECD programs that focus on school readiness; (2) home-based ECD programs for behavior change in health, nutrition, and parenting; (3) communication/media campaigns for families with young children; and (4) conditional cash transfers (CCTs) for families with young children. Although integrated ECD interventions that address the health, nutrition, and early stimulation/learning needs of young children until they transition to primary school are likely to yield the greatest positive results across domains of child development, such integrated interventions throughout early childhood are not always possible, especially in the initial stage of a client's engagement in ECD, and each strategic entry point can be used as a stand-alone tool or in combination with others. Suggestions emphasize a balance between providing evidence-based recommendations (when evidence is available) and conventional wisdom or best practices, as well as the need to identify knowledge gaps.

Estimate for p-valently Functions at the Boundary

In this paper, a boundary version of the Schwarz lemma for classes M(p) is investigated. For the function f(z) = zp +ap+1zp+1 +cp+2zp+2 +::: dened in the unit disc D = fz : jzj < 1g such that f(z) 2M(p), we estimate a modulus of the angular derivative of f(z) function at the boundary point b with f′(b) = 0. The sharpness of these inequalities is also proved.

Nitrate Runoff Contributing from the Agriculturally Intensive San Joaquin River Watershed to Bay-Delta in California

Nitrogen loading from agricultural landscapes can trigger a cascade of detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystems. Recently, the spread of aquatic weed infestations (Eichhornia crassipes, Egeria densa, Ludwigia spp., and Onagraceae) in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta of northern California has raised concerns, and nitrogen loading from California’s intensive farming regions is considered as one of the major contributors. In this study, we employed the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to simulate nitrogen exports from the agriculturally intensive San Joaquin River watershed to the Delta. The alternate tile drainage routine in SWAT was tested against monitoring data in the tile-drained area of the watershed to examine the suitability of the new routine for a tile nitrate simulation. We found that the physically based Hooghoudt and Kirkham tile drain routine improved model performance in representing tile nitrate runoff, which contributed to 40% of the nitrate loading to the San Joaquin River. Calibration results show that the simulated riverine nitrate loads matched the observed data fairly well. According to model simulation, the San Joaquin River plays a critical role in exporting nitrogen to the Delta by exporting 3135 tons of nitrate-nitrogen annually, which has a strong ecological implication in supporting the growth of aquatic weeds, which has impeded water flow, impairs commercial navigation and recreational activities, and degrades water quality in Bay-Delta waterways. Since nitrate loadings contributed by upstream runoff are an important nutrient to facilitate weed development, our study results should be seen as a prerequisite to evaluate the potential growth impact of aquatic weeds and scientific evidence for area-wide weed control decisions.

Contrasting Timing of Virological Relapse After Discontinuation of Tenofovir or Entecavir in Hepatitis B e Antigen–Negative Patients

Stopping long-term nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy increases hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) loss rates in HBV e antigen (HBeAg)-negative patients. Viral rebound may induce immune responses facilitating functional cure. We analyzed which factors are associated with timing of virological relapse in 220 Asian HBeAg-negative patients from the prospective ABX203 vaccine study. Unexpectedly, only the type of antiviral therapy was significantly associated with early virological relapse, defined as an HBV DNA load of >2000 IU/mL until week 12, and relapse occurred earlier in patients treated with tenofovir versus those treated with entecavir (median time, 6 vs 24 weeks; P < .0001). This should be considered for future trials and monitoring of patients after treatment discontinuation.

Lower Cretaceous (Albanian) of the Yukon: stratigraphy and foraminiferal subdivisions, Snake and Peel rivers

The Lower Cretaceous Albian and Aptian ( ?) strata of the upper Peel River near the mouth of Snake River and Trevor Range are outlined and discussed. The Lower Cretaceous rocks of this region that form part of the Peel Plain are subdivided into three new formations: Trevor Formation composed of about 1, 200 feet of sandstone; Arctic Red Formation consisting of about 2, 000 feet of shale and silty shale and divisible into five members; and Martin House Formation consisting of about 600 feet of glauconitic and dark grey siltstones and silty shales, and which are divided into an upper Glauconite member and a Basal Siltstone member of questionable Aptian age. The Trevor Formation is approximately equivalent to the upper three quarters of the Arctic Red Formation and gradationally overlies the Arctic Red in the southern part of the area. The Martin House Formation includes all shales and siltstones above Devonian or Carboniferous strata and beneath the Arctic Red Formation. The Lower Cretaceous sediments in the Peel - Snake Rivers region formed an eastward part of the Richardson - Carcajou trough or basin. Marine Aptian ( ?) sediments are restricted to the extreme western part of Peel Plain. Initial Albian sedimentation appears to mark a widespread, almost chronotaxial, marine boreal transgression. Predominately marine sediments were deposited in a shallow basin which extended from the Arctic to the Peace River region. During Middle and Late Albian, elastic debris derived from uplifts considerable distances to the west and southwest probably formed delta complexes along the western margin of this basin. These quartz sands grade and interfinger rapidly northeastward and northward into marine black shales. Maximum thickness of Albian sediments in the Peel - Snake region is between 2, 000 and 2, 500 feet. Some of the sands associated with the basal part of the Albian may form traps suitable for petroleum accumulations. Nine biostratigraphic subdivisions of the Albian sediments are established from assemblages of Foraminifera. The most significant of these are the late Middle Albian Valvulineria loetterlei - Gaudryina subcretacea and the Early Albian Saracenaria trollopei. They represent the strongest marine environments, are correlatable over most of the western and northern sedimentary basins, and are referable to the "Joli Fou" and "Clearwater" Seas respectively. Each of these provides a datum from which the remaining depositional intervals of the Albian stage can be interpreted.

AI as Co-Leader: Effects of Human Consideration and AI Structure Behaviors on Leadership Effectiveness and Neural Activation

With rapid technological advancements, AI has emerged as a potential performer of some leadership functions, supplementing or even substituting certain human leadership. The collaborative leadership dynamics between humans and AI remain underexplored. This study investigated the effects of human consideration (high versus low) and AI structure (high versus low) behaviors on task performance, subjective experiences, and neural activation in a human–AI co-lead scenario. A total of 80 participants engaged in quality inspection tasks that were co-led by human and AI leaders, with 20 participants randomly allocated to each behavior combination. The results revealed that high AI structure was associated with increased job-related satisfaction, employee engagement, and leader trust, while low AI structure slightly facilitated task completion speed (about 6.80%). High human consideration increased the trust in and satisfaction with the human leader. Overall, the combination of high consideration in the human leader and high structure in the AI leader enhanced leadership effectiveness and diversification of work methods (with 30% of participants choosing inspection methods other than AI suggestions). Low-structure AI leader behavior led to increased neural activation during the human-leading process in the prefrontal cortex, which was associated with increased attention, motivation, and semantic processing.

Youth Engagement in Public Health at Mammoth Cave National Park: A Pilot Alternative Spring Break Program

Each year, students from over 200 colleges and universities participate in Alternative Spring Breaks (ASBs) — volunteer, service-oriented missions that empower youth to become active citizens. Since 2000, at least 25 National Park Service (NPS) units have hosted ASBs where students volunteered to build trails, remove invasive plants, and provide other needed services (Nelson 2016). While such programs successfully connected youth with parks, particularly those interested in conservation, ASBs are also an opportunity to introduce students to the myriad and diverse career paths within NPS. Description of Pilot Alternative Spring Break Program During February 28 March 4, 2016, Mammoth Cave National Park (MACA) and the Mammoth Cave International Center for Science and Learning partnered with the NPS Office of Public Health to host a pilot ASB program focused on public health. Through direct, handson service, seven students and one professor from Alma College in Michigan spent a week learning about park-specific public health issues, including rabies, rodent-borne diseases, and recreational water quality. Issues were framed using a One Health perspective, which recognizes that the health of people, animals, and our environment are inter-connected and are best addressed using an inter-disciplinary approach. ASB activities included monitoring bat populations on tour routes to better understand risk for bat-human contacts; performing rodent exclusion on seasonal housing; collecting and testing cave water for E. coli contamination; and building and setting traps for ticks and Asian lady beetles. For more information on each activity, see Figure 1. Students received 1-1.5 hours of lecture/training each day, interacted with park staff from multiple divisions, and learned about career opportunities in NPS, public health, or both. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) was used during all activities. Benefits to the National Park Service In A Call to Action, the NPS commits to “strengthen the Service as an education institution and parks as places of learning that develop American values, civic engagement, and citizen stewardship.” Partnering with the ASB program at Alma College is a natural extension of this idea. This pilot program capitalized on both education and service to truly impact the participating students. By engaging in participatory learning and fostering transformative experiences as outlined in Achieving Relevance in our Second Century, A Five-year Strategy for Interpretation, Education, and Volunteers as We Enter the Second Century of the National Park
