Abstract:

The Network Code on Gas Balancing of Transmission Networks stimulates the development of the wholesale gas market by encouraging balance responsible parties to use standardized balancing mechanisms. To balance their portfolios, balance responsible parties can use renominations of quantities at entry and exit points, trade on a virtual trading point or trade on a trading platform. In the event of a system imbalance, Plinacro, as the operator of the gas transmission system in the Republic of Croatia, activates the balancing energy to return the system within acceptable limits. In accordance with the Rules on the Organization of the Gas Market, the Croatian Energy Market Operator performs a monthly calculation of the daily imbalance charge, trades conducted on the trading platform for balancing activities, a neutrality charge and a charge for deviation from the nominated quantities which have been analysed in this paper based on the case study of a chosen balancing group. The analyses conducted in the paper have shown that the balance responsible party may be entitled to compensation or be liable to pay compensation based on the monthly calculation of the Croatian Energy Market Operator, HROTE, depending on the value of each charge. Plinacro as the forecasting party is preparing a new model for the allocation of gas quantities that will affect the operations of gas suppliers, DSOs and especially BRPs. Based on this analysis, it could be concluded that more accurate estimated consumption for a balancing group leads to cost optimization and a more transparent gas market.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the shortcomings of the traditional AHP method and proposes group decision making from a single decision-making. In group decision making the weight of experts is very important. This paper discusses the existing methods of determining experts’ weights, introduces the method of the similarity of the cosine of the vectors’ angle, and the weight of experts is determined dynamically according to the similarity of the judgment matrix given by experts. When determining the weight of experts, judgment matrixes experts give need to pass the consistency test. In this paper, AHP group decision making method is applied to the load balancing system to determine the index weight influencing on load balancing. The experiment in the paper shows that this method can reduce calculation of consistency test and make the decision-making results more effective.

Abstract:

The crank unit is defined as the basic unit of the crank-group driving mechanism for the modular design and production, and the balance methods of inertia force are researched on the crank unit in crank-group driving mechanism’s modular design. The factors affecting the balancing weight’s position and mass are studied. This indicates that the product of the mass and gyration radius of the balancing weight is influenced by the number, mass, length of the crank and the total mass moving rod in the mechanism. The balance method based on the crank unit is received to meet the modular design and production. This approach achieves the balance of crank-group driving mechanism quickly and efficiently.

Abstract:

Objective: India is considered to be a diabetic capital as many Indians are diabetic. The common treatment for diabetes is medication. The purpose of this study is to bring out the other remedial measures for diabetic treatment and to create awareness among the people about the alternative measures. This study is about the effect of balancing exercise and tai chi exercises for early diabetic. It is, therefore, possible that an individual can experience a noticeable decreased in blood glucose following a balancing exercise and modified tai chi program. This study is to find out the effect of balancing exercise and tai chi program and to compare the effectiveness.Methods: Once the study is approved by the institutional review board, 50 samples from 65 volunteers with Type 2 diabetes between the age group of 25–35 years were selected from the ACS Medical College and Hospitals based on the inclusion criteria. After getting the consent, the samples were equally divided into two groups; Group A: Balancing exercise and Group B: Tai chi exercise. Both groups received intervention for 8 weeks 6 days/ week 2 sessions/day. Pre- and post-test was done using the outcome measures of blood glucose levels (glucometer), body mass index, and waist circumference (inch tape).Result: On comparing the mean values of waist circumference and blood glucose level between Group A and B, both the groups showed significant reduction in the post-test values. However, Group B tai chi for diabetes shows the mean (34.4) which is effective than the Group A (38.5) for waist circumference (in inches) and also Group B (156.70) is effective than the Group A (184.10) for blood glucose level (mg/dL) at p≤0.05.Conclusion: The study concluded that the balancing exercise and tai chi exercise are effective in the reduction of blood glucose level and waist circumference. However, tai chi is more effective than the balancing exercise.

Abstract:

Models for clinical ethics case consultation often make reference to ‘balancing’ or ‘weighing’ moral considerations, without further detail. In this paper, we investigate balancing in clinical ethics case consultation. We suggest that, while clinical ethics services cannot resolve ongoing deep philosophical debates about the nature of ethical reasoning, clinical ethicists can and should be more systematic and transparent when balancing considerations in case consultations. We conceptualise balancing on a spectrum from intuitive to deliberative, and argue that good balancing in case consultation involves articulating reasons for giving something more or less weight. We develop a framework of four practical strategies for better balancing in clinical ethics case consultation: intuitions as a launchpad, drilling down, pairwise comparison and group deliberation.

Abstract:

Neo-realism predicted the state will choose a certain balancing strategy accordingly to the given strategic environment and the relative power of respective states. Since Southeast Asia recognized as informal and norm-based regionalism, state balancing strategy will maximize the regional organization as a means to restraining member state's behavior and managing basic interaction within states. However, neo-realism unable to explain why states would not adopting the expected balancing strategy despite already obtained necessary international pressure and relative power. This condition occurred in Indonesia’s foreign policy toward ASEAN, especially on combating illegal fishing disputes. Ever since the foundation of the regional group, Indonesia has applied the ASEAN-led mechanism as a means to the dispute. However, the regional distribution of power and Jakarta’s relative power do not change but Indonesia’s balancing strategy does. To explain such conditions, this research will employ neo-classical realism to examine why Indonesia not adopting an institutional balancing strategy. Neoclassical-realist argued that it is the intervening variable that determined the state’s balancing strategy. This research will analyze Indonesia’s intervening variable using Randall Scwheller’s elite consensus framework and found out the shift of Indonesia's balancing strategy occurred due to elite dissensus on how perceiving ASEAN as a regional group

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate condylar movement during lateral excursion in individuals with internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using ultrasonic axiography. Materials and Methods: A total of 34 patients with internal derangement of the TMJ and 34 participants in the control group were examined. Mandibular functional movement was recorded by ultrasonic axiography. Three-dimensional condylar movement was measured in the working and balancing condyles. Results: Significant differences in condylar movement were found between the two groups. In the group with internal derangement of the TMJ, the three-dimensional linear distances of the condylar path in a working condyle were greater than in the control group during lateral excursion. The speed of the balancing condyle in the returning path of lateral excursion was significantly greater in the group with internal derangement than in the control group. Conclusions: The results of the present study indicate that internal derangement of TMJ may affect the working and balancing condylar movements during lateral excursion.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of using coloured blocks in teaching the concept of balancing chemical equation in chemistry. It is expected that students will improve their understanding in this concept and students interest in chemistry. This study examined how by using coloured blocks will help students understand the concept of balancing chemical equation which is an important concept to master in Form 4 Chemistry. Using pre and post-test control group design, the study involved a comparison between a control group (n=20) which were taught using the conventional chalk and talk method to balance chemical equation while the treatment group (n=20) were taught to balance chemical equations using coloured blocks. After pre-test, there was a significant difference between control and treatment group on their post-test scores with effect size of 1.31. Students who had used coloured blocks to balance chemical equations showed significant development in their post-test compared to the students who were taught using the conventional method. Students also showed high interest in chemistry upon using coloured blocks in teaching the concept of balancing chemical equation. The research results recommended the use of coloured blocks as a potential tool to teach the concept of balancing chemical equations..

Abstract:

Aims A significant percentage of patients remain dissatisfied after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to determine whether the sequential addition of accelerometer-based navigation for femoral component preparation and sensor-guided ligament balancing improved complication rates, radiological alignment, or patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) compared with a historical control group using conventional instrumentation. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 371 TKAs performed by a single surgeon sequentially. A historical control group, with the use of intramedullary guides for distal femoral resection and surgeon-guided ligament balancing, was compared with a group using accelerometer-based navigation for distal femoral resection and surgeon-guided balancing (group 1), and one using navigated femoral resection and sensor-guided balancing (group 2). Primary outcome measures were Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) scores measured preoperatively and at six weeks and 12 months postoperatively. The position of the components and the mechanical axis of the limb were measured postoperatively. The postoperative range of motion (ROM), haematocrit change, and complications were also recorded. Results There were 194 patients in the control group, 103 in group 1, and 74 in group 2. There were no significant differences in baseline demographics between the groups. Patients in group 2 had significantly higher baseline mental health subscores than control and group 1 patients (53.2 vs 50.2 vs 50.2, p = 0.041). There were no significant differences in any PROMs at six weeks or 12 months postoperatively (p > 0.05). There was no difference in the rate of manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA), complication rates, postoperative ROM, or blood loss. There were fewer mechanical axis outliers in groups 1 and 2 (25.2%, 14.9% respectively) versus control (28.4%), but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.10). Conclusion The sequential addition of navigation of the distal femoral cut and sensor-guided ligament balancing did not improve short-term PROMs, radiological outcomes, or complication rates compared with conventional techniques. The costs of these added technologies may not be justified. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2020;102-B(6 Supple A):24–30.

Abstract:

In the application of a long series battery group, an inter-pack imbalance is inevitable. No intra-pack cell equalizer can prevent pack-level over-discharge. A bimodal, multichannel battery pack equalizer based on a quasi-resonant, two-transistor forward converter is proposed to solve this problem and achieve a tradeoff between balancing efficiency and speed. This equalizer has two modes: pack-to-pack-group and pack-to-any-pack (P2PG&AP) mode and direct-pack-to-pack (DP2P) mode. In P2PG&AP mode, this equalizer can realize the full-switching-cycle (FSC) equalization through three balancing channels, and transfer energy from any pack to both the whole group and any pack inside the group. In addition, it can effectively clamp the transformer-induced voltage using a secondary side two-transistor magnetic reset structure (STMR) and reduce the total turns of transformer coil from 70 to 50 turns via a secondary side boost converter (SBC). In DP2P mode, this equalizer can realize zero voltage gap (ZVG) equalization. A prototype was tested at different switching frequencies and LC values to validate the theoretical analysis and optimize the bimodal hybrid operation. Experiment results including higher than 89.66% efficiency and minute-level balancing time under different pack voltage distributions show that the proposed topology demonstrates excellent balancing performance.

Abstract:

Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is a disease entity commonly seen after ankle ligament injury. It is divided into mechanical ankle instability (MAI) and functional ankle instability (FAI), with different pathological conditions. The purpose of this study was to test the balancing ability of MAI and FAI patients. Methods: 30 CAI patients and 10 normal subjects were included according to the injury history, clinical symptom and MRI presentation. Stress tests were given under fluoroscopy to find out those with mechanical instability in CAI patients. Among them there were 18 MAI and 12 FAI patients. All patients were tested on a customized balancing ability assessment system developed by Shanghai Jiaotong University. Subjects were asked to stand on the platform for 30 seconds for both feet, 10 seconds for single foot, with eyes open. And 30 seconds for both feet, 5 seconds for single foot, with eyes closed. Each condition was tested for 3 trials and results were averaged. Parameters of balance like the swaying trajectory length and speed at both medial-lateral and anterior-posterior directions, the trajectory length per unit were obtained. Results were compared among three groups. Results: The MAI group presented significantly greater imbalance in both medial-lateral and anterior-posterior directions compared with that in the control group while standing on the single diseased foot, with eyes open or closed. While in the FAI group, no significant difference was found in postural sway compared with that in the control group. The MAI group presented significantly greater imbalance in both medial-lateral and anterior-posterior directions than the FAI group while standing on the single diseased foot with eyes open or closed. No significant difference in balancing was found of the contralateral ankle in the two groups. Conclusion: The balancing ability of MAI patients was impaired and then make them vulnerable to falling. Thus either balance training program or reconstructive surgery is needed to restore the balancing ability in those patients.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground:Psychache can and does co-exist alongside resilience and coping amongst trauma survivors. This has been the center of the a-integrative theory of aging demonstrating an attitude to life based on cognitive and emotional dimensions. Aging of Holocaust survivors (HS) is especially difficult when focus is brought to the issue of integrating their life history. The present study aimed to investigate the interplay between psychache and resilience amongst aging HS.Methods:Cross-sectional study of HS and a matched comparison group recruited from the general population was carried out. All underwent a personal interview and endorsed quantifiable psychache and resilience scales.Results:We enrolled 214 elderly participants: 107 HS and 107 comparison participants. Mean age for the participants was 80.7± years; there were 101 women and 113 men in each group. Holocaust survivors did not differ in the level of resilience from comparisons (mean: 5.82 ± 0.68 vs. 5.88 ± 0.55, respectively). Psychache was significantly more intense in the HS group (F(8,205) = 2.21; p < 0.05).Conclusions:The present study demonstrates the complex interplay between psychache and resilience. Aging HS still have to cope with high levels of psychache while realizing a life-long process of development through resilience.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how management controls in an organization take shape amidst the tensions between external institutional forces and the internal dynamics arising from the different powers and interests of managers as well as from intra-organizational norms, rules and taken-for-granted assumptions. Design/methodology/approach Adopting an interpretivist stance, this study employs the embedded (nested) case study approach drawing evidence from an apparel group which consists of a head office and four clusters. Theoretically, the paper is informed by institutional theory, and particularly draws on concepts such as organizational field, ceremonials, rational myths, isomorphism, institutional logics and loose coupling. It is further complemented by strategic responses of Oliver (1991), as well as materials and discursive elements in elaborating how external pressures influence control practices of an organization, and how internal actors strategically respond to those pressures in balancing external legitimacy and internal efficiency requirements. Findings The field-study findings reveal that management controls of the case-study organization have taken shape amidst external pressures, specifically from customers and internal dynamics such as interests of key actors, who strategically respond to external pressures and head -office specifications. Research limitations/implications Situating management controls within external pressures and internal dynamics, the findings of this study have implications for research on organizational heterogeneity, and it offers learning points for managers in formulating management controls by balancing conflicting internal and external pressures. Practical implications In reality, practicing managers are faced with conflicting logics arising from external pressures and internal dynamics stemming from different power- and interest-holding managers as well as intra-organizational norms, rules and taken-for-granted assumptions in their everyday encounters in organizations. This study provides some pointers for such practicing managers in designing and implementing management control systems by effectively balancing these opposing influences and formulating systems suited to the circumstances of a particular organization. Originality/value Moving beyond the widely held narrow conceptualization of institutional theory akin to (external) isomorphism and organizational conformity, this paper brings out organizational heterogeneity through the active agency of actors in terms of their power, interest and proclivities as well as their use of organizational norms and rules in responding to such external institutions.

Abstract:

Cloud computingÂ is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet, One of the primary issues in cloud computing is implementation of a novel load balancing approach. The demanding thirst for optimal performance of the system is creating research interest in this area. Many Load Balancing algorithms that aim to enhance the overall system performance have been proposed. In this paper, we survey a special group of Load balancing algorithms that have taken inspiration from nature. We provide an overview of the current trends in the field by discussing and comparing these algorithms.

Abstract:

The General Influence Coefficient Algorithm (GICA), developed in this article, is a new calculation method for Influence Coefficients (ICs) with a general formula. Compared to the traditional calculation method, GICA can solve the ICs' calculation task when the group of trial weights are installed on the rotor each time, the trial weights are retained on the rotor systems, or there is redundant trial balancing data, when even part of the ICs is known. GICA is also a powerful tool for refining the ICs from redundant balancing data or historical balancing data and serves as a general algorithm. With the general matrix formula, GICA is ready to be applied in a computer-aided balancing system as the key part of calculation software. Examples in industry are also presented to demonstrate the aplication of this new algorithm.

Abstract:

This qualitative research project explored the experiences of women who juggle the demands of family or parenthood while engaging in academic careers at a faculty of education. The researcher-participants consisted of 11 women; 9 women provided a written narrative, and all women participated in the data analysis. The data consisted of the personal, reflective narratives of 9 women who participated in a faculty writing group. Analysis of narratives uncovered 5 themes common to the researchers and participants in this study: genderspecific experiences surrounding parenting, second-career academics, pressure surrounding academic work, human costs, and commitment to work and family. Implications of the findings are discussed with particular emphasis on how a faculty writing group framed by a relational model of interaction can be used to support untenured faculty who experience difficulty balancing the demands of family and academia.

Abstract:

The job requirement in many health institutions and professional academic institutions stresses the need to contribute in three main aspects: academics, service and research. While it may have detailed guidelines for the academics and service components, there is no clear workings on the research and ambiguously stresses that one should do quality research and publish a quality findings that may directly benefit the subjects/populations under study. Moreover, it is given undue weightage in job stability and promotions.Paradoxically, no one clearly emphasizes on the quality resources and the time that needs to be allotted for the research activities. Developing a research group at times becomes more challenging and less sustainable. Although much time is demanded to be invested on academics and service aspects, research, where no defined hours and inputs are mentioned, remains a yardstick of professional success and rewards.

Abstract:

The internet offers services for users which can be accessed in a collaborative shared manner. Users control these services, such as online gaming and social networking sites, with handheld devices. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are an emerging technology that can provide these services in an efficient manner. Because services are used by many users simultaneously, security is a paramount concern. Although many security solutions exist, they are not sufficient. None have considered the concept of load balancing with secure communication for online services. In this paper, a load aware multiparty secure group communication for online services in WMNs is proposed. During the registration process of a new client in the network, the Load Balancing Index (LBI) is checked by the router before issuing a certificate/key. The certificate is issued only if the value of LBI is less than a predefined threshold. The authors evaluate the proposed solution against the existing schemes with respect to metrics like storage and computation overhead, packet delivery fraction (PDF), and throughput. The results show that the proposed scheme is better with respect to these metrics.

Abstract:

IETF ROLL working Group standardized the IPv6 Routing protocol (RPL) for applications over low-power and lossy networks (LLNs). RPL constructs a Destination Oriented Direction Acyclic Graph (DODAG) to organize network topology. RPL shows fast network setup and good scalability. However, it may suffer from load imbalance due to diverse network traffic and heavy load on preferred or forwarding parents. To optimize the load balancing of routes in RPL, this paper proposes load balancing metric based routing protocol called lbRPL. We introduce a new routing metric for RPL called load balancing index (LBI), which exploits load balancing characteristics of RPL nodes to select more load balanced parents and routes. LBI includes ETX, Parent count (Pc) and Remaining Parent Energy (Pe) metrics to make routing decisions. Simulation results show that lbRPL improves network performance, stability and improved network life time to RPL.

Abstract:

This paper proposes entropy balancing, a data preprocessing method to achieve covariate balance in observational studies with binary treatments. Entropy balancing relies on a maximum entropy reweighting scheme that calibrates unit weights so that the reweighted treatment and control group satisfy a potentially large set of prespecified balance conditions that incorporate information about known sample moments. Entropy balancing thereby exactly adjusts inequalities in representation with respect to the first, second, and possibly higher moments of the covariate distributions. These balance improvements can reduce model dependence for the subsequent estimation of treatment effects. The method assures that balance improves on all covariate moments included in the reweighting. It also obviates the need for continual balance checking and iterative searching over propensity score models that may stochastically balance the covariate moments. We demonstrate the use of entropy balancing with Monte Carlo simulations and empirical applications.

Abstract:

AbstractFew studies have compared the accuracy of femoral component rotation in the measured resection technique according to the preoperative computed tomography (CT) and gap balancing technique. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is a difference in accuracy and outlier incidence of femoral component rotation between gap balancing and measured resection techniques with or without preoperative CT and to evaluate the difference in patellofemoral alignment on simple radiographs and clinical outcomes. In this retrospective study, we evaluated femoral component rotation angle on the clinical and surgical transepicondylar axis (FCRA-cTEA and FCRA-sTEA, respectively), patellar tilt angle, lateral patellar displacement, and patient-reported outcomes in the gap balancing technique (Group 1) and in the measured resection technique without (Group 2) and with (Group 3) preoperative CT. A total of 163 total knee arthoplasty (TKA) replacements were included in this study. Average FCRA-cTEA was −3.4 ± 2.6, −2.8 ± 2.1, and −1.8 ± 2.3 degrees in groups 1 to 3, respectively (p = 0.002). Average FCRA-sTEA was −0.2 ± 2.7, 0.5 ± 2.4, and 1.5 ± 2.1 degrees, respectively (p = 0.001). In an outlier analysis that evaluated femoral component rotation using cTEA as reference, no significant difference was observed between the three groups (40.8, 37.3, and 23.7%, respectively, p = 0.133). When sTEA was used as a reference, groups 1 and 3 showed an outlier incidence of 8.2 and 8.5%, respectively, whereas this incidence was as high as 23.5% in group 2 (p = 0.030). No statistically significant group difference in patellofemoral alignment and patient-reported outcome was observed. In the measured resection technique with preoperative CT, the femoral component was externally rotated approximately 1 degree more than in the gap balancing or measured resection technique without preoperative CT. However, the difference in FCRA among the three techniques was not linked to the difference in patellofemoral alignment or patient-reported outcomes.
