A review on the development of photovoltaic/concentrated solar power (PV CSP) hybrid systems
Year: 2017

As an emerging technology, the photovoltaic/concentrated solar power (PV CSP) hybrid technology is considered as one of the research focuses currently in solar energy field, due to various advantages compared with the PV alone and CSP alone technologies. Compared with the PV alone system, the PV CSP hybrid system can produce electricity with better power quality. While compared with the CSP alone system, the cost of power production can be reduced. The overall generating efficiency will also be greatly improved if the PV component and the CSP component of the hybrid system are "compactly" hybridized by PV topping or spectral beam splitting (SBS) technologies. The development of PV CSP hybrid systems accelerated in recent years with the increase of maturity of PV and CSP technologies. This paper presents an exhaustive review on the state of the art of the PV CSP hybrid technologies, including the non compact hybrid system, the PV topping hybrid system, the SBS hybrid system, and the hybrid system combining SBS and PV topping technologies. Recent progresses of the key technologies of the PV CSP hybrid systems, such as high temperature solar cells, spectral beam filters, and high flux heat exchangers, are generally discussed. After that, the research status and the hybrid system performance are summarized from the literature to provide a global point of view on the PV CSP hybrid technology. The advantages and limitations of the hybrid technology are also concluded according to the literature reviewed.

Venue: Management Research: Journal of the Iberoamerican Academy of Management
Year: 2020

The purpose of this paper is to know the implications that COVID 19 has presented in the workplace to develop research strategies related to issues of human and organizational behavior on the business perspective.  Quantitative, exploratory based on primary and secondary sources, an online questionnaire was designed and applied with 33 items that was applied in the Mexican work environment, during the period from March 7 to 16, that is, in the same week as WHO made the pandemic declaration for COVID 19, obtaining a total of 332 responses.  With the descriptive analyzes carried out, it was possible to know the perception that people have of various aspects related to COVID 19, and subsequently the corresponding reliability tests were carried out, obtaining Cronbach's alpha indexes greater than 0.8. At the beginning of the declaration of pandemic by COVID 19, a relationship was shown between stress and the aspects related to the arrival of COVID 19, showing evidence of its impact on the workforce.  This work has contributed ideas for academics, managers and areas of human resources that can promote the growth and development of people with the aim of achieving comprehensive well being in the workplace, generating better working conditions owing to the proposal to make remote work a successful strategy in the function of human resources in the workplace and in the improvement of society in general.  This research, in addition to being carried out with information obtained in the first weeks of March 2020, presents a model with ideas and themes to design future research projects and to analyze the post COVID 19 effects in the workplace, with a business perspective, human behavior and organization.
Can biomass energy be an efficient policy tool for sustainable development
Year: 2017

This paper first reviews the potential causality from biomass energy to CO2 emissions and economic development within relevant literature. Later, the paper examines statistically the impacts of biomass energy consumption on CO2 emissions and GDP in the US. To this end, paper observes environmental and economic implications of biomass fuel usage throughout energy literature and launches asymmetric causality test to confirm/disconfirm the literature output. The findings of the tests indicate that biomass energy consumption per capita mitigates CO2 emissions per capita and increases GDP per capita. Eventually, upon its output, this research asserts that biomass energy consumption can be an efficient policy tool for environmentally sustainable development in the US, and, that, hence, biomass production technologies and biomass consumption need to be promoted in other countries as well as in the US. On the other hand, analyses underline the fact that policy makers should consider as well some potential constraints of biomass energy usage such as land use constraints and carbon leakage from biomass production. Therefore, although this paper explores the remedial impact of biomass on environment and growth, one may suggest also that further possible works consider the effects of biomass sources in detail to minimize the some worsening influence of biomass usage on climate change.
Unsupervised Temporal Feature Aggregation for Event Detection in Unstructured Sports Videos
Venue: 2019 IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM)
Year: 2019

Image based sports analytics enable automatic retrieval of key events in a game to speed up the analytics process for human experts. However, most existing methods focus on structured television broadcast video datasets with a straight and fixed camera having minimum variability in the capturing pose. In this paper, we study the case of event detection in sports videos for unstructured environments with arbitrary camera angles. The transition from structured to unstructured video analysis produces multiple challenges that we address in our paper. Specifically, we identify and solve two major problems: unsupervised identification of players in an unstructured setting and generalization of the trained models to pose variations due to arbitrary shooting angles. For the first problem, we propose a temporal feature aggregation algorithm using person re identification features to obtain high player retrieval precision by boosting a weak heuristic scoring method. Additionally, we propose a data augmentation technique, based on multi modal image translation model, to reduce bias in the appearance of training samples. Experimental evaluations show that our proposed method improves precision for player retrieval from 0.78 to 0.86 for obliquely angled videos. Additionally, we obtain an improvement in F1 score for rally detection in table tennis videos from 0.79 in case of global frame level features to 0.89 using our proposed player level features.

Association of antiretroviral therapy with high risk human papillomavirus, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and invasive cervical cancer in women living with HIV: a systematic review and meta analysis
Venue: The lancet. HIV
Year: 2018

The interactions between antiretroviral therapy (ART) and high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical lesions in women living with HIV are poorly understood. We reviewed the association of ART with these outcomes.  We did a systematic review and meta analysis by searching MEDLINE and Embase databases for cross sectional or cohort studies published in English between Jan 1, 1996, and May 6, 2017, which reported the association of ART with prevalence of high risk HPV or prevalence, incidence, progression, or regression of histological or cytological cervical abnormalities, or incidence of invasive cervcal cancer. Studies were eligible if they reported the association of combination ART or highly active ART use with the following outcomes: high risk HPV prevalence; squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) prevalence, incidence, progression, or regression; and invasive cervical cancer incidence among women living with HIV. We did random effects meta analyses to estimate summary statistics. We examined heterogeneity with the I2 statistic.  University of York, York, UK (registration number CRD42016039546) Findings We identified 31 studies of the association of ART with prevalence of high risk HPV (6537 women living with HIV) and high grade cervical lesions (HSIL CIN2+ 9288 women living with HIV) Women living with HIV on ART had lower prevalence of high risk HPV than did those not on ART (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0*83, 95% CI 0*70 0*99; I2=51% adjusted for CD4 cell count and ART duration) and there was some evidence of association with HSIL CIN2+ (0*65, 0*40 1*06; I2=30% 17 studies reported the association of ART with longitudinal cervical lesion outcomes. ART was associated with a decreased risk of HSIL CIN2+ incidence among 1830 women living with HIV (0*59, 0*40 0*87; I2=0% SIL progression among 6212 women living with HIV (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0*64, 95% CI 0*54 0*75; I2=18% and increased likelihood of SIL or CIN regression among 5261 women living with HIV (1*54, 1*30 1*82; I2=0% In three studies among 15 846 women living with HIV, ART was associated with a reduction in invasive cervical cancer incidence (crude HR 0*40, 95% CI 0*18 0*87, I2=33% Interpretation Early ART initiation and sustained adherence is likely to reduce incidence and progression of SIL and CIN and ultimately incidence of invasive cervical cancer. Future cohort studies should aim to confirm this possible effect.
Pergroup and Joint Optimization of Max Dmin Precoder for MIMO with LDPC Coding Using QAM Modulation
Venue: Radioelectronics and Communications Systems
Year: 2019

MIMO technology not only offers diversity and capacity gains, but also provides higher spectral efficiency and significant link reliability over SISO systems. Many methods are developed to exploit the diversity offered by multi antenna systems such as Alamouti code and spatial multiplexing that do not require transmitter side channel status information (Tx CSI) Other power allocation optimization techniques, also known as precoding, require a full or partial Tx CSI. These techniques aim to transform the signal before transmission according to different criteria, among which the minimal Euclidean distance seems to be very effective and continues to interest the researchers. Given perfect channel state information at both sides of the communication, we propose in this paper a novel design of wireless transmission schemes that joint the minimal Euclidean distance precoder and error correction coding based on the non binary low density parity check code (NB LDPC) to finally determine a power allocation optimization solution that adapts a linear precoding block to an NB LDPC encoded MIMO transmission. In this paper we use a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) over a Rayleigh fading channel with a maximum likelihood detection. Simulations results in term of bit error rate confirmed that NB LDPC codes are particularly well suited to be jointly used with precoding schemes based on the maximization of the minimum Euclidean distance criterion.
Weather perceptions, holiday satisfaction and perceived attractiveness of domestic vacationing in The Netherlands
Year: 2017

Despite variable and relatively cool summer weather, domestic vacations in countries around the North Sea are an important type of tourism. However, relations between weather and domestic tourism in this region remain understudied. A quantitative research (n 326) among domestic camping tourists in The Netherlands explores perceived personal significance of the weather, operationalized as Weather Salience (WxS) and its relation with attractiveness of domestic vacationing, adaptive touristic behavior and perceived differences between home and destination. Results show that WxS relates positively to attitudes toward domestic tourism and to holiday satisfaction. While higher levels of WxS enhance feelings of being away from home due to the weather, lower WxS increases indifference about holiday weather. Weather differences between home and destination are perceived but depend on region, accommodation type and WxS levels. Implications for (domestic) tourism climatology research are discussed and potential lessons for stakeholders employing tourism activities in temperate climates are provided.

From the Document: In recent years, health care providers have increasingly turned to technology to provide remote health care services to patients 'i e 'telehealth' This use of telehealth has only become more important in the midst of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic, as it has allowed providers and patients to minimize their contact with one another However, the use of technology to transmit information carries privacy risks Federal law thus limits the extent to which health care providers may use technology to transmit medical information In particular, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires covered entities namely, health care providers, health plans, and health clearinghouses to abide by data privacy, data security, and data breach notification requirements in their treatment of certain medical information While HIPAA's restrictions mitigate privacy and security concerns, they also limit health care providers' ability to offer telehealth services Given the increased need for telehealth options due to COVID 19, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced that it will not enforce HIPAA's requirements against health care providers who are engaged in the good faith provision of telehealth services during the COVID 19 emergency, regardless of whether those service are related to COVID 19 COVID 19 (Disease);Epidemics;Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (United States);Telecommunication in medicine;Privacy, Right of Data processing
Development of Single Phase Active Power Filter Using Current Source Inverter (CSI)
Venue: 2019 IEEE 9th Symposium on Computer Applications Industrial Electronics (ISCAIE)
Year: 2019

This paper presents the development of an Active Power Filter (APF) using Current Source Inverter (CSI) The function of the APF is to fix the pulsating nature of a distorted AC supply current waveform produced by a nonlinear load. The APF utilises 4 IGBT switches controlled by an Active Pulse Width Modulation (APWM) signal generated by a current control loop. The closed loop controller is built up using a subtractor circuit, Proportional Integral (PI) controller and comparator circuit; to compensate the distorted AC supply current to be continuous, sinusoidal and in phase with a supply voltage waveform. The application of the APF may reduce the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) level of the AC supply current, thus, it increases the power factor and quality of a power supply system. The THD value obtained is compared with the IEEE 519 standard; to validate that the THD value follows the regulation. All simulation results illustrate that, by implementing the proposed APF, harmonic components of the AC supply current decreases to the acceptable limit introduced by the IEEE 519 standard. Simulation results are accomplished using MATLAB/Simulink.

Fast ISAR image generation through localization of persistent scattering centers
Venue: Defense Commercial Sensing
Year: 2009

Imagery data acquired by recently launched space borne SAR systems demonstrate a very good spatial resolution (e.g. one meter with TerraSAR X) The designs of such complex systems make it compulsory to do SAR end to end simulations to optimize image quality (e.g. spatial and radiometric resolution, ambiguity suppression, dynamic range, etc. The most complex, critical and challenging modules have to be designed for the generation of SAR raw data and SAR image generation, because the limits of computability and memory requirements are reached very quickly. Moreover, the analysis of SAR images is a demanding task, because of their sensor specific effects. Therefore, a simulation tool is under development to analyze realistic target features and make the scattering processes transparent to the user. With the method presented in this paper, SAR images of complex scattering bodies can be generated in a very efficient way. This is done by directly localizing scattering centers and identifying their persistency along the synthetic aperture. Thus the usual raw data generation and processing steps are dropped. The resulting images show a very good similarity to reality, because scattering centers due to multipath propagation effects are also handled. Furthermore this toolkit makes it possible to visualize the scattering centers and their evolution, by mapping them on the 3D structure of the scattering body. This results in transparency of the whole scattering process, which greatly improves the understanding of the image effects. The paper presents this new approach for the application of inverse SAR (ISAR) and first simulation results.
SCREENING OF Rickettsia sp. IN TICKS (ACARI: IXODIDAE) COLLECTED FROM SMALL MAMMALS IN THREE RECREATIONAL FORESTS IN SELANGOR, MALAYSIA
Year: 2019

Rickettsia is a gram negative, non motile, and obligate intracellular bacterium that usually associated with arthropods vectors such as ticks, fleas, lice and mites. These bacteria have the ability to cause diseases in humans, however, in Malaysia, knowledge on the prevalence and distribution of these bacteria mainly focused on humans and information of these bacteria in small mammal hosts is limited. Thus, this study aims to investigate the presence of Rickettsia sp. in the DNA of tick's samples collected from small mammals in three different recreational forests in Selangor, Malaysia. Sampling was conducted in which 200 cage traps were set up randomly along streams and forest trails for five nights. A total of 106 fully engorged and adult ticks were collected from 23 individuals of seven small mammals host species. All samples were tested for Rickettsia bacteria based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using partial 17 kDa antigen gene. The PCR results obtained from this study showed no infestation of Rickettsia sp. in all tick samples. Our findings revealed that none of the tick samples from these forests' sites were infected with Rickettsia pathogen, however, more intense and extensive surveillance for Rickettsia sp. from other tick species is still necessary for greater geographical areas across Malaysia.
