HIRAC Based Risk Management Model with POKA YOKE and TPM Continuity to Control and Mitigate Emergency Scenarios in Hydrocarbon Sector Operations
Venue: IHSI
Year: 2020

It is currently known that LPG packaging plants pose a potential risk to their personnel, surroundings, and even their facilities. This was identified by studies conducted on LPG packaging plants accidents, specifically between 2011 and 2018. Their results show that at least 28 LPG plants were shut down in the country. The main dangers facing LPG plants are fires, leaks, flares, and spillages, among others. Therefore, the proposed model aims at reducing and mitigating the risks and emergency scenarios by implementing Hazard identification, risk assessment and control (HIRAC) POKA YOKE, as engineering control measures; and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) In the creation and implementation of this model, we jointly worked with the company PUNTO DE DISTRIBUCION S.A.C. The results show that significant risks reduced to 0% whereas the overall equipment effectiveness increased by 11% Furthermore, the quality and availability indexes increased by 2% and 2.7% respectively.

The 16th issue of CSIMQ presents four articles that cover a wide range of research topics. The topics of this issue start with psychological aspects of sustainable behavior change within organizations while new technologies are introduced into a company. The range of topics ends with the discussion of specific algorithms that allow entity clustering for Big Data analysis. The goal of these algorithms is the identification of different notations of references that refer to the same real world object. This entity resolution is also called dedublication. Additionally, an approach for modelling enterprise architecture visualizations is discussed. It is used to specify and develop an architecture cockpit for a company from the financial sector. Within the range of topics is also a paper about the concepts of shared spaces as basis for building business process support systems. In the paper, a generic model is suggested that supports the comparison, analysis, and design of business process support systems.
An assessment of policies that support having children from the perspectives of equity, efficiency and efficacy
Year: 2006

In a context where 46 countries now consider their fertility rate to be too low, attention is turning to the need for policy actions to increase fertility rates. This article discusses the reasons why action is required and why countries have been slow to take policy action. It then considers a wide range of possible policies and assesses them against a set of eleven social policy principles. The policies examined include tax transfer policies, subsidised services, childcare and early childhood education, parent leave and working hours policies, employment policies for young people, public education campaigns and broader social arrangements. The conclusion drawn is that the focus of policy should not be pronatalism as such but support for families with children. Support for families with children means good family policy, good gender policy, good employment/human capital policy, good child development policy and, if there is a need to increase or sustain birth rates, it will also mean good birth policy.  the Need for Policies that Support those who have Children
Zebrafish Larva Heart Localization Using a Video Magnification Algorithm
Venue: 2020 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)
Year: 2020

The heart position is an important and challenging step in the biological assays using zebrafish larvae for drug development. This paper presents a visual detection system for zebrafish larval heart position detection. The system develops a video magnification algorithm to solve this challenging problem in heart position detection: the heart signal of zebrafish larvae in the microscopic field is weak. It is difficult, if not possible, to be directly identified. The video magnification algorithm is used to amplify the heart dynamic information of zebrafish larvae so that the heart signal can be directly recognized by the proposed foreground detection algorithm, and then the integrated multi frame image information is processed to obtain the position coordinates of the zebrafish larva heart. Finally, the proposed algorithm are tested and validated by zebrafish larval heart position detection experiments using the in house developed micro robotic system.
Systematic Approach to Cyber Resilience Operationalization in SMEs
Venue: IEEE Access
Year: 2020

The constantly evolving cyber threat landscape is a latent problem for today's companies. This is especially true for the Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) because they have limited resources to face the threats but, as a group, represent an extensive payload for cybercriminals to exploit. Moreover, the traditional cybersecurity approach of protecting against known threats cannot withstand the rapidly evolving technologies and threats used by cybercriminals. This study claims that cyber resilience, a more holistic approach to cybersecurity, could help SMEs anticipate, detect, withstand, recover from and evolve after cyber incidents. However, to operationalize cyber resilience is not an easy task, and thus, the study presents a framework with a corresponding implementation order for SMEs that could help them implement cyber resilience practices. The framework is the result of using a variation of Design Science Research in which Grounded Theory was used to induce the most important actions required to implement cyber resilience and an iterative evaluation from experts to validate the actions and put them in a logical order. Therefore, this study proposes that the framework could benefit SME managers to understand cyber resilience, as well as help them start implementing it with concrete actions and an order dictated by the experience of experts. This could potentially ease cyber resilience implementation for SMEs by making them aware of what cyber resilience implies, which dimensions it includes and what actions can be implemented to increase their cyber resilience.
Design of sound absorbing metamaterials by periodically embedding three dimensional resonant or non resonant inclusions in rigidly backed porous plate
Year: 2014

Air saturated porous materials, namely, foams and wools, are often used as sound absorbing materials. Nevertheless, they suffer from a lack of absorption efficiency at low frequencies, which is inherent to their absorption mechanisms (viscous and thermal losses) even when used as optimized multilayer or graded porous materials. These last decades, several solutions have been proposed to avoid this problem. Among them, metaporous materials consist in exciting modes trapping the energy between the periodic rigid inclusions embedded in the porous plate and the rigid backing or in the inclusions themselves. The absorption coefficient of different foams is enhanced both in the viscous and inertial regimes by periodically embedding 3D inclusions, possibly resonant, i.e. air filled Helmholtz resonators. This enhancement is due to different mode excitation: a Helmholtz resonance in the viscous regime and a trap mode in the inertial regime. In particular, a large absorption coefficient is reached for wavelengths.
Optimal sizing and positioning of grid integrated distributed generator: a review
Year: 2020

The ever growing population and globalization have resulted into an increase in demand for power. Additionally, ecological concerns like an unnatural weather change have constrained us to locate new and different substitutes to the current conventional sources of energy. To provide a solution to this crisis of energy in a way that is environment friendly, we have focused our attention towards making renewable energy resources as an alternative to currently employed sources of power. This paper contains extensive study on different Distributed Generation (DG) sources, comparing their merits and demerits also comprising of the impact when added to an already existing AC power grid. Accordingly, the planning methodologies have been discussed which will help us in determining which type of DG suits best to our requirement. This paper also contains the review of optimal placement techniques and sizing methodologies for DG system in grid networks, which are together known as Hybrid Energy Systems (HES)
An Uber Ambivalence: Employee Status, Worker Perspectives, Regulation in the Gig Economy
Year: 2019

This article uses ethnographic research on gig worker advocacy groups in California to make sense of an apparent paradox. Extant survey research finds that a majority of Uber/Lyft drivers in the U.S. do not want to be employees. And yet, drivers and gig worker groups aggressively advocated to pass AB5, an internationally heralded bill in California that makes it very likely that they are considered employees under state law. I argue that the paradoxes embodied in the perspectives of workers in my research can be theorized as attitudinal ambivalence. This ambivalence toward employee status was informed both by their relative powerlessness in relation to gig companies and by the uncertainties and insecurities specific to app based gig work. Overwhelmingly, drivers both wanted employee benefits and feared how the companies might behave as an employer. Rather than re shape employment laws and restrict worker benefits to accommodate the policy prescriptions of app enabled gig companies, regulators may use these research findings to expand the benefits available through the traditional employment regime.

Are Private Schools Better Than Public Schools? Appraisal for Ireland by Methods for Observational Studies.
Venue: The annals of applied statistics
Year: 2011

In observational studies the assignment of units to treatments is not under control. Consequently, the estimation and comparison of treatment effects based on the empirical distribution of the responses can be biased since the units exposed to the various treatments could differ in important unknown pretreatment characteristics, which are related to the response. An important example studied in this article is the question of whether private schools offer better quality of education than public schools. In order to address this question we use data collected in the year 2000 by OECD for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) Focusing for illustration on scores in mathematics of 15 years old pupils in Ireland, we find that the raw average score of pupils in private schools is higher than of pupils in public schools. However, application of a newly proposed method for observational studies suggests that the less able pupils tend to enroll in public schools, such that their lower scores is not necessarily an indication of bad quality of the public schools. Indeed, when comparing the average score in the two types of schools after adjusting for the enrollment effects, we find quite surprisingly that public schools perform better on average. This outcome is supported by the methods of instrumental variables and latent variables, commonly used by econometricians for analyzing and evaluating social programs.
Translating timing requirements of Embedded Software systems modeled in Simulink to a timing analysis model
Venue: 2016 IEEE 21st International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA)
Year: 2016

In model based Embedded Software Engineering (ESE) individual systems are modeled with chains of components that are translated to chains of tasks/runnables for a scheduling analysis. Early analysis of response time of such systems (e.g. end to end path delay) provides important feedback to understand how the function blocks/components in the system may actually behave. In this paper we report on work in progress pertaining to an overall workflow for model driven specification, translation and validation of such timing constraints in ESE projects developed using Matlab/Simulink. The challenges addressed in this workflow and future directions are outlined.

Proximal Splitting Methods in Signal Processing
Venue: Fixed Point Algorithms for Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering
Year: 2011

The proximity operator of a convex function is a natural extension of the notion of a projection operator onto a convex set. This tool, which plays a central role in the analysis and the numerical solution of convex optimization problems, has recently been introduced in the arena of inverse problems and, especially, in signal processing, where it has become increasingly important. In this paper, we review the basic properties of proximity operators which are relevant to signal processing and present optimization methods based on these operators. These proximal splitting methods are shown to capture and extend several well known algorithms in a unifying framework. Applications of proximal methods in signal recovery and synthesis are discussed.
Content BasedMusic Information Retrieval Current Directions and Future Challenges
Year: 2008

The steep rise in music downloading over CD sales has created a major shift in the music industry away from physical media formats and towards online products and services. Music is one of the most popular types of online information and there are now hundreds of music streaming and download services operating on the World Wide Web. Some of the music collections available are approaching the scale of ten million tracks and this has posed a major challenge for searching, retrieving, and organizing music content. Research efforts in music information retrieval have involved experts from music perception, cognition, musicology, engineering, and computer science engaged in truly interdisciplinary activity that has resulted in many proposed algorithmic and methodological solutions to music search using content based methods. This paper outlines the problems of content based music information retrieval and explores the state of the art methods using audio cues (e.g. query by humming, audio fingerprinting, content based music retrieval) and other cues (e.g. music notation and symbolic representation) and identifies some of the major challenges for the coming years.
Understanding Diversity in Human AI Data: What Cognitive Style Disaggregation Reveals
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2021

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more pervasive through all levels of society, trying to help us be more productive. Research like Amershi et al.'s 18 guidelines for human AI interaction aim to provide high level design advice, yet little remains known about how people react to Applications or Violations of the guidelines. This leaves a gap for designers of human AI systems applying such guidelines, where AI powered systems might be working better for certain sets of users than for others, inadvertently introducing inclusiveness issues. To address this, we performed a secondary analysis of 1,016 participants across 16 experiments, disaggregating their data by their 5 cognitive problem solving styles from the Gender inclusiveness Magnifier (GenderMag) method and illustrate different situations that participants found themselves in. We found that across all 5 cogniive style spectra, although there were instances where applying the guidelines closed inclusiveness issues, there were also stubborn inclusiveness issues and inadvertent introductions of inclusiveness issues. Lastly, we found that participants' cognitive styles not only clustered by their gender, but they also clustered across different age groups.
Reducing Crossflow Effects in Arrays of Impinging Jets
Year: 2017

With increasing heat fluxes in microelectronics, thermal management of these devices will soon no longer be attainable through current methods. One thermal management technology that could be integrated into the design of microelectronics is jet impingement cooling. Past research has primarily focused on evenly spaced, equal sized, circular or slot jets perpendicular to the surface. A significant problem associated with this technology, especially as the surface to be cooled increases in size, is crossflow. This is the interaction of the transverse flow from the spent inner jet fluid with the jets closer to the outer edge of the surface. In an attempt to attenuate the crossflow effects, the heat transfer performance of jet arrays with non uniform jet diameter and jet spacing were investigated. The testing apparatus housed a 3D printed jet array nozzle that could be easily exchanged to accommodate many tests. The use of advanced manufacturing techniques allows for array geometries that may have previously been difficult to create. The impingement surface was a circular, polished, oxygen free copper surface with a diameter of 25.4 mm. Heat transfer rates nearing 400 W could be delivered to the surface, for a heat flux of more than 75 W/cm2. The working fluid was single phase water, and the heat transfer rate was measured for each jet array over a range of flow rates. Experimental data was compared to simulation data obtained through CFD analysis. CFD modeling was used to predict the most promising geometries, which were then validated through experiment. Out of the nozzles tested, it was determined that the nozzle with larger diameters toward the edge of the surface attained the highest heat transfer rate of h 38,822 W/m2 K. The nozzle with closer jet spacing at the outside of the array was found to have the highest experimental Nusselt number with NuD 88.8. It was determined that angled confining walls do not have a definitive association with improved heat transfer. The simulation data was found to predict the heat transfer performance of the various geometries with an average percent difference in heat transfer coefficient of 11%.Copyright (c) 2017 by ASME
