Full textAbstract:
Finding an alternative or supplementary test method to evaluating the low temperature performance of asphalt is an area of considerable interest. This paper tries to explore the possibility of using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) method for assessing the low temperature properties of styrenebutadienestyrene (SBS) modified asphalt. In the study, 60/80 and 80/100 pen grade asphalt binders, named binder A-70, binder B-70 and binder C-90, are used to produce the SBS modified asphalt samples. After that, the low temperature performance of the asphalt binders is characterized by using bending beam rheometer (BBR) test. The results indicate that the low temperature performance of the different binders is related to the source of the binder. The low temperature performance of asphalt could be improved with the addition of the SBS. The DSR test is used to develop the complex modulus master curves for binders. Based on the principle of time–temperature conversion, the glass transition temperature of asphalt is calculated by the Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equation. The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of base asphalt and the SBS modified asphalt are determined by the viscoelastic parameters of the master curve and the WLF equation coefficients based on the time–temperature superposition principle. By establishing the relationship between the critical temperature and the Tg of the asphalt binder, the effectiveness of the method established in this paper is verified. The advantage of this method is the ability to use the DSR test for the rapid evaluation of the low temperature performance of asphalt, which is able to reduce testing materials and save testing time as well. The glass transition temperature of the SBS modified asphalt is closely associated with aging degree, asphalt source and the SBS content.

SummaryHealth information exchange (HIE) facilitates the exchange of patient information across different healthcare organizations. To match patient records across sites, HIEs usually rely on a master patient index (MPI), a database responsible for determining which medical records at different healthcare facilities belong to the same patient. A single patient’s records may be improperly split across multiple profiles in the MPI.We investigated the how often two individuals shared the same first name, last name, and date of birth in the Social Security Death Master File (SSDMF), a US government database containing over 85 million individuals, to determine the feasibility of using exact matching as a split record detection tool. We demonstrated how a method based on exact record matching could be used to partially measure the degree of probable split patient records in the MPI of an HIE.We calculated the percentage of individuals who were uniquely identified in the SSDMF using first name, last name, and date of birth. We defined a measure consisting of the average number of unique identifiers associated with a given first name, last name, and date of birth. We calculated a reference value for this measure on a subsample of SSDMF data. We compared this measure value to data from a functioning HIE.We found that it was unlikely for two individuals to share the same first name, last name, and date of birth in a large US database including over 85 million individuals. 98.81% of individuals were uniquely identified in this dataset using only these three items. We compared the value of our measure on a subsample of Social Security data (1.00089) to that of HIE data (1.1238) and found a significant difference (t-test p-value < 0.001).This method may assist HIEs in detecting split patient records.

This research aims to explore research directions in interior architecture in the higher education in Thailand within the past two decades (1997-2016). This research is a part of the quinquennial curriculum renewal process of the master degree of interior architecture programme, Department of Interior Architecture, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL). The systematic literature review was conducted to track back on theses in interior architecture in the higher education in Thailand. The query focused on master degree theses published from 1997 to 2016 within ThaiLIS-Thai Library Integrated System (TTLIS) in which research, theses, and dissertations of all universities in Thailand were systematically collected. The keyword ‘interior architecture’ was used to search for thesis documents in TTLIS with specifically refined results on master degree theses in all universities in Thailand. One hundred and ninety-six theses were found in the search. This research comprises two stages. In the first stage, all one hundred and ninety-six theses were systematically reviewed and categorized into different types of research. It was found that there was no predictive research type and no novel theoretical framework generated among studied theses. In second stage, semi-structure interview was adopted to explore details of participants’ experiences of doing their theses; inspirations, background ideas, supports, and obstacles. A lack of generating new theoretical frameworks in interior architecture in the higher education in Thailand has weaken the progression of research in this discipline. Developing a novel theoretical framework in interior architecture in the higher education in Thailand is recommended.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a two-channel architecture and design approach that enables a simultaneous increase in the transparency and stability robustness of a bilateral teleoperation system, and additionally provides a high degree of transparency robustness to uncertainty in the operator and environment dynamics. The former is provided by the use of a loop-shaping filter incorporated on the master-to-slave motion command, and the latter by local feedback loops around both the master and slave manipulators. The proposed architecture and design approach are illustrated on a single-degree-of-freedom example with and without a communication channel time delay. Finally, the implications of scaling on the stability of the teleoperator loop are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
A novel master-multi-SIMD architecture and its kernel (template) based parallel programming flow is introduced as a parallel signal processing platform. The name of the platform is ePUMA (embedded Parallel DSP processor architecture with Unique Memory Access). The essential technology is to separate data accessing kernels from arithmetic computing kernels so that the run-time cost of data access can be minimized by running it in parallel with algorithm computing. The SIMD memory subsystem architecture based on the proposed flow dramatically improves the total computing performance. The hardware system and programming flow introduced in this article will primarily aim at low-power high-performance embedded parallel computing with low silicon cost for communications and similar real-time signal processing.

Abstract Objective This study evaluated the degree to which recommendations for demographic data standardization improve patient matching accuracy using real-world datasets. Materials and Methods We used 4 manually reviewed datasets, containing a random selection of matches and nonmatches. Matching datasets included health information exchange (HIE) records, public health registry records, Social Security Death Master File records, and newborn screening records. Standardized fields including last name, telephone number, social security number, date of birth, and address. Matching performance was evaluated using 4 metrics: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and accuracy. Results Standardizing address was independently associated with improved matching sensitivities for both the public health and HIE datasets of approximately 0.6% and 4.5%. Overall accuracy was unchanged for both datasets due to reduced match specificity. We observed no similar impact for address standardization in the death master file dataset. Standardizing last name yielded improved matching sensitivity of 0.6% for the HIE dataset, while overall accuracy remained the same due to a decrease in match specificity. We noted no similar impact for other datasets. Standardizing other individual fields (telephone, date of birth, or social security number) showed no matching improvements. As standardizing address and last name improved matching sensitivity, we examined the combined effect of address and last name standardization, which showed that standardization improved sensitivity from 81.3% to 91.6% for the HIE dataset. Conclusions Data standardization can improve match rates, thus ensuring that patients and clinicians have better data on which to make decisions to enhance care quality and safety.

"An enhanced state convergence architecture incorporating disturbance observer for bilateral teleoperation systems." International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems 16, no. 5 (September 1, 2019): 172988141988005. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1729881419880052.
Full textAbstract:
To bilaterally control an nth-order teleoperation system modeled on state space, state convergence methodology provides an elegant way to design control gains through a solution of 3 n + 1 equations. These design conditions are obtained by allowing the master–slave error to evolve as an autonomous system and then assigning the desired dynamic behavior to the slave and error systems. The controller, thus obtained, ensures the motion synchronization of master and slave systems with adjustable force reflection to the operator. Although simple to design and easy to implement, state convergence method suffers from its dependence on model parameters, and thus the performance of the controller may degrade in the presence of parametric uncertainties. To address this limitation, we propose to integrate an extended state observer in the existing state convergence architecture which will not only compensate the modeling inaccuracies by treating them as a disturbance but will also provide the estimates of the master and slave states. These estimated states are then used to construct the bilateral controller which is designed by following the method of state convergence. In this case, 2 n + 2 additional design equations are required to be solved to fix the observer gains. To validate the proposed enhancement in the state convergence architecture, simulations and semi-real-time experiments are performed in MATLAB/Simulink environment on a single degree-of-freedom teleoperation system.

The article investigates and theoretically summarizes the peculiarities of training doctors at the master's level at the universities of ROC. Higher education in China is characterized by numerous changes due to the accumulation and adaptation of advanced successful experience in training specialists in different countries of the world. In this context, the property of scientists and educators of ROC concerning the organization of professional training of masters in medicine is of particular interest for Ukraine. Scientists are constantly searching for solutions and improving higher medical education in ROC. In the universities of the Republic of China, according to the field of study, the degree of master in medicine can be obtained as a professional degree and scientific degree. As a result, after completing the master's program in professional field, the master may work in positions such as senior physician, senior physician in health care, senior dentist, senior pharmaceutical, and the master in research field may work as the doctor-scientist, who carries out medical research as the main professional activity. The name of medical degrees is also different, for the professional field – clinical medicine, for the research field – preclinical medicine. Clinical medicine includes such areas of master's programs in medicine as health care, dentistry, pharmacological science; preclinical medicine includes clinical medicine, preventive medicine, dentistry, the science of human progress, the history of science and technology, biomedical engineering, social medicine and health management. The article examines the experience of implementing master's programs in medicine at higher educational institutions in China. The competence-based approach, forms and specialization of training in the organization of training and practicing students due to master's programs in medicine in ROC were determined.

Thomas, Edmund. "Patrons and the Monumentality of Architecture." In Monumentality and the Roman Empire. Oxford University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199288632.003.0013.
Full textAbstract:
Architectural symbolism explains monumentality for only a small number of religious or imperial buildings, in their representations of the divine and the cosmic, or their insinuation of the semi-divine nature of the emperor. But for the majority of patrons of public buildings under the Roman Empire monumentality was not tied to such concepts, but was expressed on a more human level. Architecture contributed to the public image of individual patrons in the same way as did other ‘status symbols’. A Roman aristocrat’s house was a public monument; by contrast, the house of a disgraced man was destroyed. In what follows, I shall argue that the forms of architecture used in public as well as private buildings played an important role in promoting an owner’s social identity, and that they did so because of the ideas they embodied. For Seneca, the squared stone construction of the villa of Scipio Africanus at Liternum, with ‘towers raised on all sides to defend it’, was a physical embodiment of the idea that ‘a man’s home is his castle’. In the same way, the frequent mosaic pattern in private houses at Pompeii and other Roman colonies, especially in southern Gaul and northern Italy, of a labyrinth set within a walled circuit (Fig. 72), had a metaphoric purpose: it signalled that the house was both exclusive and impregnable, the work of a Daedalus-like master architect, and, as the aedificatio of the owner, a statement of his social rank. Because such a mosaic pattern could only be fully comprehended from the top of the building, preferably a high one, it had an inherent association with monumental architecture. Cicero chose a portico on his estates for its ‘dignity’ and a vault for its honour, while the younger Pliny in his villas at Laurentum and Tusci relished forms that he had ‘begun [himself ] or, if already begun, brought to completion and thoroughly adorned’; they included a white marble stibadium, a ‘tetrastyle’ arbour of cipollino columns, and a topiary of box which, like a monumental inscription, spelled his name and that of his architect.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the development of ENIAC’s overall architecture and control method. This was shaped, to a degree that has not previously been recognized, by an early and very detailed exploration led by Arthur W. Burks of how the machine could be “set up” to calculate shell trajectories, the task for which it was commissioned. Programming ENIAC was not, as has often been asserted, an “afterthought” to its design and construction. Discussion is focused in particular on the development of its master programmer unit, used to control sets of nested loops. Although it is widely believed that the ability to change the course of a computation based on results so far obtained (later be conceptualized as a conditional branch) was added to ENIAC late in its development, we show that this capability was planned for early on and that its eventual implementation as a capability of the master programmer reflected a distinct approach to the structuring of automatic computation shaped by the team’s work on the trajectory computation problem.

Full textAbstract:
EfficientNet is a recent Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) architecture intended to be proportionally extendible in depth, width and resolution. Through its variants, it can achieve state of the art accuracy on the ImageNet classification task as well as on other classical challenges. Although its name refers to its efficiency with respect to the ratio between outcome (accuracy) and needed resources (number of parameters, flops), we are studying a method to reduce the original number of trainable parameters by more than 84% while keeping a very similar degree of accuracy. Our proposal is to improve the pointwise (1x1) convolutions, whose number of parameters rapidly grows due to the multiplication of the number of filters by the number of input channels that come from the previous layer. Basically, our tweak consists in grouping filters into parallel branches, where each branch processes a fraction of the input channels. However, by doing so, the learning capability of the DCNN is degraded. To avoid this effect, we suggest interleaving the output of filters from different branches at intermediate layers of consecutive pointwise convolutions. Our experiments with the CIFAR-10 dataset show that our optimized EfficientNet has similar learning capacity to the original layout when training from scratch.

In Part I, we discussed in detail the foundations of the bracket description of dynamical behavior, demonstrating how the generalized bracket is linked to the theories of both Hamiltonian mechanics and irreversible thermodynamics. Now it is time to discuss the various applications towards seemingly complex systems which are the main focus of this book. Specifically, we want to look at a variety of microstructured media of immediate concern in science and industry, and to illustrate the advantages of using the generalized bracket formalism over traditional techniques when developing system-particular models. As we shall also see, there are certain advantages to be gained even when we are simply expressing existing models in Hamiltonian form. The first subject that we wish to address is that of viscoelastic fluid dynamics. As the name implies, viscoelasticity characterizes the materials that possess properties intermediate to those of an elastic solid and a viscous fluid. The most characteristic property is that of limited (“fading”) memory: viscoelastic materials partially resume their previous deformation state upon removal of the externally applied forces; the smaller the duration of the application of the forces, the better the recovery. Materials of this type contain a certain degree of internal microstructure (e.g., polymeric solutions and melts, advanced composites, liquid crystals, etc.), and are very important in the processing industry where one wishes to combine the “processability” of the medium's fluidity with the “structural quality” of the internal architecture to obtain high strength/ low-weight final products. We can distinguish two types of viscoelasticity: viscoelastic solids and viscoelastic fluids characterized by the ability or lack of ability respectively, to support shear stresses at finite deformations. In the following we shall focus on the analysis of viscoelastic fluids although the approach followed applies and/or can be extended in a straightforward fashion to viscoelastic solids as well. For a description of solid viscoelasticity, the interested reader may consult one of the many excellent monographs in the area [Eringen, 1962, chs. 8, 10; Ferry, 1980; Sobotka, 1984; see also Tschoegl, 1989].

Full textAbstract:
The contamination between design and theory of systems as a field of development of new design processes is nowadays consolidated. However, the issue concerning the methodology to apply in teaching systemic design remains an open question. The approach adopted in the Master Degree in Systemic Design at Politecnico di Torino is based on the assumption that the teaching method must itself be systemic. Alongside designers, the degree course has involved from the very beginning experts of different disciplines (i.e. chemistry, physics, mechanics, history, economy and management) as teachers, in order to create a multidisciplinary environment for the development of projects. Born as master degree in academic year 2002-03 at Politecnico di Torino (Italy) from the close collaboration with Gunter Pauli, the course has changed name and form but not the content, until it reached the current title (a.y. 2015-16): master degree “Aurelio Peccei” in Systemic Design. The Open Systems course has enabled students, in previous years, to experiment the design of production processes. This was the case of the systemic project done with NN Europe, a company engaged in manufacturing ball bearings, in which the output management allows a positive economic impact. Over the years the course has shifted its focus from the production process of a product to the wider company context. In 2010, the approach has been applied to the agricultural enterprise Ortofruit: starting from agricultural production, the students have defined the production system and the relationships with the market. Systemic Design, during this course, has experienced the transition from the design of industrial processes that are closely linked to the territory, and then enhance local resources, to the design of the whole territorial system. The work done by the students of the course in recent years has led to the definition of scenarios about fields usually distant from the traditional design world. For example, the definition of the economic model, the corporate model that is built around relationships on cooperation with different disciplines.This transition, from the product to the entire territorial system, allows the exploration of new contexts, but it also puts the designer in a complex and challenging position in according with complex theories.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.3353

Full textAbstract:
The presented paper describes how, within a course of Mechatronics Engineering, a low cost, four joints serial manipulator has been designed and implemented. The system has been actively developed by two master degree students within a period of about 10 months, and will be used within laboratory activity modules in courses of Applied Mechanics and Manufacturing Automation. The first part of the paper presents the conceptual design of the manipulator, first by stating requirements and specifications, then by describing the design choices that have been done, from the point of views of system architecture, of mechanical systems, and of electronics and control systems. The second part of the paper presents the aspects of dynamic modeling that are involved in optimal joints movement interpolation, and the related algorithms that have been developed. The third part of the paper outlines the choices that have been done about the software environment (languages and development systems) and detailedly describes the software architecture that has been implemented at low level (i.e. programming of microcontroller that provides the motor driver function) and at high level (i.e. programming of the inverse kinematics, motor dynamics, 3-D motion simulator, user interface). The resulting system can operate in two modes: a manual/teaching mode, where the operator can move the manipulator by means of a joystick and pick a list of points to be saved on a file and routinely reached later on, and an automatic mode, where the manipulator autonomously moves through the points defined in a file (either manually written or created during a previous step while in teaching mode). The last part discusses how the described system suits within an advanced mechatronics course, and how an experimental module can be organized by exploiting the open architecture of the manipulator.

Light is part of the Architecture project, but it entails a very specific design and technical complexity. The teaching of lighting requires the use of project teaching methodologies adapted to these specificities. In our school we seek to systematize the understanding of the effects of light, so that students acquire the ability to project lighting. This ability is deepened at different levels of training: degree subject, elective subject and master's degree. The students work on all the phases of the project, from the communication of the first ideas, through the elaboration of the complete project and its review, till the possibility of the actual execution of a real project. The methodology used achieves the fulfilment of the objectives of each level, also encouraging the development of final degree projects, which complement the research work of the teaching team, creating feedback between the teaching and research work that is carried out. La luz es parte del proyecto de Arquitectura, pero conlleva una complejidad proyectual y técnica muy específicas. Su enseñanza requiere de la utilización de metodologías de enseñanza de proyectos adaptadas a dichas especificidades. En nuestra escuela buscamos sistematizar la comprensión de los efectos de la luz, para que los alumnos adquieran la capacidad de proyectar la iluminación. Esta capacidad se va profundizando en distintos niveles de formación: asignatura de grado, optativa y master de especialización. Se trabaja sobre todas las fases del proyecto, desde la comunicacion de las primeras ideas, hasta la elaboración del proyecto completo y su revisión, pudiendo llegar a la ejecución de un proyecto real. La metodología empleada consigue el complimiento de los objetivos de cada nivel, incentivado además el desarrollo de trabajos de fin de grado, que complementan la labor investigadora del equipo docente, creando una retroalimentación entre la labor docente e investigadora desarrollada.

Among the competencies set out in Section 5 of the Annex to Orden EDU/2075/2010 on the university degree that officially qualifies for the practice of the profession of architect, express mention is made of "CE01(E). Aptitude to conceive, calculate, design and integrate into buildings and urban ensembles and execute: building structures". This is a core and specific competence whose didactic development differs from one Spanish School of Architecture to another. This paper provides a critical review of the learning outcomes achieved by students over the last seven years that has been taught the Master in Architecture degree. It also describes the Educational Innovation and Improvement Project launched in the current academic year (2021-22) that constitutes the second itinerary of the course. Finally, a comparative analysis of the learning outcomes observed in the two itineraries is made. Entre las competencias fijadas en el Apartado 5 del Anexo a la Orden EDU/2075/2010 sobre el título universitario que habilita oficialmente para el ejercicio de la profesión de arquitecto, se menciona expresamente la “CE01(E). Aptitud para concebir, calcular, diseñar e integrar en edificios y conjuntos urbanos y ejecutar: Estructuras de edificación”. Se trata de una competencia troncal y específica cuyo desarrollo didáctico difiere de unas a otras Escuelas de Arquitectura españolas. La presente comunicación aporta una revisión crítica de los resultados del aprendizaje alcanzados por los estudiantes a lo largo de los siete cursos que lleva implantado el Máster. También se describe el Proyecto de Innovación y Mejora Educativa puesto en marcha el presente curso (2021-22) y que constituye el segundo itinerario de la asignatura. Por último, se realiza un análisis comparado de los resultados del aprendizaje constatados en cada uno de los dos itinerarios.

Abstract In this paper the design of a multi-finger force-reflecting haptic interface device for teleoperational grasping is introduced. The haptic interface or “master” controller device is worn on the human operator’s hand and measured human finger positions are used to control the finger positions of a remote grasping manipulator or “slave” device. The slave may be a physical robotic grasping manipulator, or a computer generated representation of a human hand such as used in virtual reality applications. The forces measured by the robotic slave, or calculated for the virtual slave, are presented to the operator’s fingertips through the master providing a means for deeper human sensation of presence and better control of grasping tasks in the slave environments. Design parameters and performance measures for haptic interfaces for teleoperation are discussed. One key performance issue involving the high-speed display of forces during initial contact, especially when interacting with rigid surfaces, is addressed by the present design, reducing slave controller computation requirements and overcoming actuator response time constraints. The design presented utilizes a planar four-bar linkage for each finger, to represent each finger bend motion as a single degree of freedom, and to provide a finger bend resistance force that is substantially perpendicular to the distal finger pad throughout the full 180 degrees of finger bend motion represented. The finger linkage design, in combination with a remote position measurement and force display assembly, provides a very light weight and low inertia system with a large workspace. The concept of a replicated finger is introduced which, in combination with a decoupled actuator and feed forward control, provides improved performance in transparent free motion, and rapid, stable touch sensation of initial contact with rigid surfaces. A distributed computation architecture with a PC based haptic interface controller and associated control algorithms are also discussed.

It also considers the adoption of the theories and methods of the Conzenian School. Urban morphological research in China is carried out in different disciplines: mainly archaeology, geography, and architecture. The earliest significant work was within archaeology, but that has been widely ignored by current urban morphological researchers. As an urban archaeologist whose first degree was in architecture, Zhengzhi Zhao worked on the Studies on the reconstruction of the city plan of Ta-Tu in the Yuan Dynasty in 1957. He uncovered the original city plan of Ta-Tu (now Beijing) in the Yuan Dynasty by applying street pattern analysis. Before the Cultural Revolution, Pingfang Xu recorded and collated the research findings of Zhao, who was by then seriously ill, so that the methods he developed could be continued with the help of other scholars especially archaeologists. His methods of study are still used in studies of urban form in China today. Later, the dissemination of the Conzenian School of thought, aided by two ISUF conferences in China, promoted the development of studies of Chinese urban form. With the help of Jeremy Whitehand, researchers, including the Urban Morphology Research Group of Peking University, applied the theories and methods of the Conzenian School through field work and empirical studies. Taking the opportunity of the 110th anniversaries of the birth of both M.R.G. Conzen and Zhengzhi Zhao, this paper summarizes multidisciplinary urban morphological research in China.
