Verberg, Rolf, Alex T. Dale, Prashant Kumar, Alexander Alexeev, and Anna C. Balazs. "Healing substrates with mobile, particle-filled microcapsules: designing a ‘repair and go’ system." Journal of The Royal Society Interface 4, no. 13 (October 3, 2006): 349–57. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2006.0165.
Abstract:
We model the rolling motion of a fluid-driven, particle-filled microcapsule along a heterogeneous, adhesive substrate to determine how the release of the encapsulated nanoparticles can be harnessed to repair damage on the underlying surface. We integrate the lattice Boltzmann model for hydrodynamics and the lattice spring model for the micromechanics of elastic solids to capture the interactions between the elastic shell of the microcapsule and the surrounding fluids. A Brownian dynamics model is used to simulate the release of nanoparticles from the capsule and their diffusion into the surrounding solution. We focus on a substrate that contains a damaged region (e.g. a crack or eroded surface coating), which prevents the otherwise mobile capsule from rolling along the surface. We isolate conditions where nanoparticles released from the arrested capsule can repair the damage and thereby enable the capsules to again move along the substrate. Through these studies, we establish guidelines for designing particle-filled microcapsules that perform a ‘repair and go’ function and thus, can be utilized to repair damage in microchannels and microfluidic devices.

"Preparation of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Composite Incorporated with Collagen-Functionalized Graphene Oxide for Green Tire Application." Gels 8, no. 3 (March 4, 2022): 161. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/gels8030161.
Abstract:
Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is a synthetic polymer primarily used in the tire industry, due to its good collaborative properties with additives and fillers. In the present work, we aim to synthesize an SBR composite reinforced with graphene oxide filler to be made biodegradable. In composite preparation, we fabricated styrene-butadiene rubber/graphene oxide/collagen (SBR/GO/COL) composites by adding a biodegradable biomolecule of elastin collagen fillers at 1.5 wt% and 2.5 wt%. Those prepared SBR/GO/COL composites, along with pure SBR and SBR/GO as control samples, were characterized using advanced analysis techniques, and their biodegradability was also evaluated. From microscopy examination results, the morphology of pure SBR had been improved after the addition of GO for SBR/GO composite by revealing a compact structure with a smoother surface. As for the SBR/GO/1.5COL sample, the 1.5 wt% COL filler was found to be effectively embedded in the SBR/GO matrix. However, the 2.5 wt% COL amount led to the formation of an aggregated structure in the SBR/GO/2.5COL sample due to the unreacted interface between COL filler and SBR/GO. The porosity had also been improved for SBR/GO/1.5COL sample, imparting it with a surface area suitable for tires in the automobile industry. From elemental analysis, the presence of nitrogen was detected for the collagen-filled SBR composite, proving the successful incorporation of collagen fibrils. The physicochemical analysis also detected a trace of graphene oxide and collagen functional groups in the SBR composite. In addition, the thermal analysis revealed those collagen-filled composites had stable heat tolerance behavior, which is suitably used in extreme weather conditions. Moreover, the SBR/GO/1.5COL sample exhibited good characteristics in both mechanical and biodegradable properties. Thus, the product of SBR/GO/1.5COL could be regarded as a promising composite for green tires in the auto industry in the future.

"Graphene oxide nano-filler based experimental dentine adhesive. A SEM / EDX, Micro-Raman and microtensile bond strength analysis." Journal of Applied Biomaterials & Functional Materials 18 (January 2020): 228080002096693. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2280800020966936.
Abstract:
Aim: The study aimed to assess graphene oxide (GO) adhesive and its dentin interaction using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), MicroRaman spectroscopy and Microtensile bond strength (μTBS). Materials and Methods: Experimental GOA and control adhesives (CA) were fabricated. Presence of GO within the experimental adhesive resin was assessed using SEM and Micro-Raman spectroscopy. Ninety specimens were prepared, sixty teeth were utilized for μTBS, twenty for SEM analysis of interface for CA and GOA and ten were assessed using microRaman spectroscopy. Each specimen was sectioned and exposed dentine was conditioned (35% phosphoric acid) for 10 s. The surface was coated twice with adhesive (15 s) and photopolymerized (20 s). Composite build-up on specimen was photo-polymerized. Among the bonded specimens, thirty specimen were assessed using Micro-Raman spectrometer, SEM and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), whereas remaining specimens were divided in to three sub-groups ( n = 10) based on the storage of 24 h, 8 weeks and 16 weeks. μTBS testing was performed at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min using a microtensile tester. The means of μ-tbs were analyzed using ANOVA and post hoc Tukey multiple comparisons test. Results: No significant difference in μTBS of CA and GOA was observed. Storage time presented a significant interaction on the μTBS ( p < 0.01). The highest and lowest μTBS was evident in CA (30.47 (3.55)) at 24 h and CA (22.88 (3.61)) at 18 weeks. Micro-Raman analysis identified peaks of 1200 cm-1 to 1800 cm1, D and G bands of GO nanoparticles in the resin. Uniform distribution of graphene oxide nanoparticles was present at the adhesive and hybrid layer. Conclusion: GO showed interaction within adhesive and tooth dentin similar to CA, along with formation of hybrid layer. In ideal conditions (absence of nanoleakage), graphene oxide modified adhesive shows comparable bond strength and durability of resin dentine bond.

Abstract:
Commentary: The mass media in the Asia Pacific region are reporting the environmental disasters that are regularly hitting the planet religiously, and journalists learn as they go along. However, the reporting has focused mainly on the toll in human lives and property. This is disaster reporting and it stops short of contextualising. It does not adequately explain why the environmental disasters are happening more violently and more frequently. Not too many reporters have taken formal courses in environmental journalism. Only a very few schools are offering regular courses, or programmes in science and environmental reporting, as indicated by a mini-survey in July 2016. The vacuum in formal science and environmental education is being filled by non-government organisations offering non-formal training.

Abstract:
Film is one of the literary works in the form of audio-visual, serving as a medium to convey messages depicted through both sound and images, along with all its supporting elements. The term 'taboo' is one of the sociolinguistic studies that we often hear; generally, taboo words go against the prevailing norms and moral values. In this research, the author aims to explore what kind of taboo words are present in the film 'Better Days' (《少年的你》) and classify them according to their types. The goal is to identify the types of taboo words used in the dialogue between characters, using the taboo word classification according to The Jay.

Abstract:
The development of private vehicle ownership is very rapid, but it is not balanced by adequate supporting infrastructure such as roads and parking lots. Especially for parking lots, parking horizontally will be difficult to develop because of the limited land availability. The addition of parking lots can be done vertically by building a multi-storey parking building. So far, the existence of multi-storey parking buildings has not provided an information system on the availability of parking spaces. The form of multi-storey parking lots often makes the driver have to go around few times to find an empty space. This situations wasting of energy and time. This study aims to design an information system as application models in human-computer interaction, that will inform someone there is empty or already filled parking space, so that it can save time and make it easier for drivers to find parking spaces to park their cars. This information system prototype design consists of three main parts, called sensors, controllers, and displays. Car parking control system that works with an automatic portal (parking gate) along with a display screen for information on the location of empty parking spaces and those that have been filled. The portal will open if information states the parking lot is still available, and the portal will not open if information states the parking lot is full.

Abstract:
IntroductionADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorder among children. It is described as a chronic impairing disorder that negatively affects the academic attainment and social skills of the child. Furthermore, ADHD symptoms continue into adulthood in 30–60% of affected children. Consequently, they will most likely be missed from employment many times.AimsDetermine the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder among children in Saudi Arabia.ObjectivesDetermine the prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder among both governmental and private primary Saudi school children aged 6–9-year-old. And to measure the gender difference of ADHD prevalence. Also, to determine any association between the socio-demographic characteristic of parents of children with ADHD.MethodsAn observational cross-sectional study of 1000 primary school children belonging to 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. The selected students were screened by the ADHD rating scale using multistage sampling technique. The first stage was selection of 20 schools from all Riyadh regions by simple randomization. The second stage was choosing children whom serial numbers were multiplies of five in each class. The ADHD rating scale was filled by both parents and teachers along with a socio-demographic questionnaire for the parents.ResultsThe estimated prevalence of ADHD was 3.4%. ADHD manifestations affect boys more than girls. In addition, ADHD was more frequent among children of illiterate mothers. Finally, ADHD was significantly more prevalent among first grade children.ConclusionThis epidemiological study filled the data gap of ADHD prevalence in Riyadh. The study's findings go in line with many nearby and global studies.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
Abstract We report on our investigation of the evolution of a system of spark discharges in the inner acceleration region (IAR) above the pulsar polar cap. The surface of the polar cap is heated to temperatures of around 106 K and forms a partially screened gap (PSG), due to thermionic emission of positively charged ions from the stellar surface. The spark lags behind corotation speed during their lifetimes due to variable E × B drift. In a PSG, spark discharges arise in locations where the surface temperatures go below the critical level (T i ) for ions to freely flow from the surface. The spark commences due to the large drop in potential developing along the magnetic field lines in these lower temperature regions and subsequently back-streaming particles heat the surface to T i . Regulation of the temperature requires the polar cap to be tightly filled with sparks and a continuous presence of sparks is required around its boundary since no heating is possible from the closed field line region. We estimate the time evolution of the spark system in the IAR, which shows a gradual shift in the spark formation along two distinct directions resembling clockwise and anticlockwise motions in two halves of the polar cap. Due to the differential shift of the spark pattern in the two halves, a central spark develops representing the core emission. The temporal evolution of the spark process was simulated for different orientations of a non-dipolar polar cap and reproduced the diverse observational features associated with subpulse drifting.

Abstract:
The world’s first film specifically produced for an exhibition was displayed in the American Museum of Natural History back in 1930. In the 1960s the Estonian National Museum also began to collect actively ethnographic film material during fieldwork, but its use in exhibitions was marginal. The films at the museum’s new permanent exhibition, ’Encounters’, however, contribute significantly to the visual and content identity of the display and invite visitors to engage in a social and cultural dialogue. Along with the showcases, the films create a visual rhythm in the display hall, and their visuals and sound accompany visitors throughout the entire exhibition. By virtue of presenting diverse perspectives and their integration with the surrounding display, the films can visibly and audibly join in the discussions that ’Encounters’ seeks to elicit. The films of ’Encounters’ focus on the past and present inhabitants of the territory of Estonia, primarily, who have their subjective views and particular life experience and through whom an exhibition visitor can gain an insight into the broader cultural and social context. If in the past, museum films and display items were strictly curated, with the power to create and distribute knowledge concentrated in the hands of curators-filmmakers, then at present the role of museum visitors examining the material has increasingly become more active. Without a recourse to the voice-over or music, which prescribe to the visitors how they should perceive and construe the content, visitors can experience and decipher the films independently. Without the curator’s direct didactical intervention, visitors are free to assign a personal meaning to the themes presented. The films of ’Encounters’, which are unconventionally slow and long-lasting for contemporary people, offer a challenge and opportunity for thoughtful reflection. My own video exhibit ’Stories of Freedom’, which presents the thoughts of nearly 80 inhabitants of Estonia on the subject of freedom in the form of videotaped interviews and written citations, explores meanings and ideas that are abstract and nonmaterial but universally inherent to human beings. The documentaries of Marko Raat take a detailed look at various processes and work techniques from traditional as well as modern life. His films deal with some cultural practices that are still in use but inevitably vanishing as well as some contemporary practices such as a day at a supermarket checkout belt, or activities in the kitchens of top chefs. Raat’s scripted portrait films summon up the lives of people from the past. By his use of aesthetically eclectic and stylised form instead of maximally accurate reconstruction, the filmmaker deliberately minimises the possibility of the films being seen as accurate representations of history. Although the films are not historically faithful depictions in terms of their aesthetics, Raat has used archival documents and authentic museum objects as the films’ source material. Thus, by building on historical documents and objects, he has created characters who tell their real-life stories on the vertical screens, look into the eyes of the visitors and go about their business. The text of archival documents has been brought to life in a historical re-enactment, and the use of authentic objects illustrates the context in which these objects were originally used. When film is integrated with other materials, such as written citations in the video exhibit ’Stories of Freedom’ or traditional costumes in the film ’Clothing’, we are able to detect connections and associations which would not have emerged in isolation. By observing the exhibited items through the perspective of the people who have used and experienced them, such as the traditional dress that an elderly lady from the island of Kihnu puts on, we can also sense more keenly the meaning of these objects. Their story becomes visible through the perspective of the user. The exhibition films can also efficiently describe daily life from thousands of years ago, of which there are no visual records. For instance, the experiment of grinding a stone axe in the film ’Touchstone of Patience’, gives us a sense of what people in the Stone Age had to routinely endure. Combining film with some authentic stones exhibited nearby, enhances the communicative potential of each exhibition item which would not be as great without such a juxtaposition. Traditional work practices, goods placed on the supermarket checkout belt, thoughts on freedom expressed by people with different age, social and cultural backgrounds comprise an important ethnographic material which will unlock stories of modern Estonia in a diversified and polyvocal manner in the future as well.

Ventegodt, Søren, Trine Flensborg-Madsen, Niels Jørgen Andersen, and Joav Merrick. "Factors During Pregnancy, Delivery and Birth Affecting Global Quality of Life of the Adult Child at Long-term Follow-up. Results from the Prospective Copenhagen Perinatal Birth Cohort 1959-61." Scientific World JOURNAL 5 (2005): 933–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.1100/tsw.2005.112.
Abstract:
This paper presents a prospective cohort study, where we explore associations between pregnancy, delivery and the global quality of life (QOL) of the adult child 31-33 years later. The data is from the Copenhagen Perinatal Birth Cohort 1959-61 using two sets of questionnaires send to 7,222 persons: one filled out by physicians during pregnancy and delivery, while the follow-up questionnaire was completed by the adult children 31-33 years later. The main outcome measures were objective factors describing pregnancy and delivery along with global quality of life, including: Well-being, life satisfaction, happiness, fulfilment of needs, experience of life's temporal and spatial domains, expression of life's potentials and objective measures. Results showed two main factors in pregnancy that seemed to be associated with a reduced quality of life for the child 31-33 years later: the mother's smoking habits and the mother's medication–especially painkillers and different psychopharmacological drugs with the association being most prevalent early in pregnancy. Considering what can and do go wrong during the various stages of labour and delivery and considering how few connections we found between the factors examined and the later global QOL, it seems that the child is remarkably resilient to external influences during pregnancy and delivery concerned with global QOL, as an adult.

Abstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée aux hybridations des pratiques mobiles et numériques de jeunes de banlieue en insertion sociale et professionnelle. Il repose sur une enquête vidéo-ethnographique menée auprès de jeunes adultes, âgés de 18 à 25 ans, inscrits dans les missions locales de Saint-Denis, Villeurbanne et Marseille. Pour capturer et observer la manière dont les acteurs intègrent les technologies numériques au cours de déplacements réalisés pour la première fois, nous avons accompagné quarante-deux jeunes lors de trajets d’insertion en utilisant la technique du parcours commenté filmé par des lunettes caméra. Au cours de ces trajets inhabituels, l’activité de wayfinding prend une place centrale. Dans une perspective praxéologique, basée sur l’analyse détaillée de la combinaison des informations utiles aux déplacements, notre travail remet en cause l’idée selon laquelle les jeunes de quartiers populaires seraient moins capables de se déplacer que d’autres et que leurs pratiques numériques seraient restreintes aux problématiques d’inégalités numériques. Nous démontrons que pour mener à bien un déplacement, ces jeunes adultes produisent de multiples bricolages articulés autour de ressources spatiales coprésentes, de ressources interactionnelles et de ressources médiées par les technologies numériques. Ces articulations produisent des hybridations différentes. En exposant les habiletés de ces acteurs, la thèse révèle les épreuves situationnelles et existentielles du déplacement, qui reposent sur la capacité des jeunes à élaborer un nouveau trajet et sur leur situation socio-professionnelle compliquée. Le sens du déplacement donné par l’acteur est central pour saisir ses manières de faire. Les habiletés mobiles et numériques de l’acteur ne sont compréhensibles qu’en étant situées dans leurs contextes d’apparition, dans des pratiques et dans des projets de déplacement. C’est pourquoi les hybridations produites par notre analyse restituent ces habiletés en préservant le déroulement et la signification des déplacementsThis PhD dissertation develops an approach to the hybridisation of mobile and digital practices of suburbs citizens. This work is based on a video-ethnographic fieldwork with young NEETs, aged between 18 to 25, in three French large urban areas: Saint-Denis, Villeurbanne and Marseille.We used the go-along method subjectively filmed with camera-glasses, to capture the interactions between actors and digital devices during unusual trips. The wayfinding is the principal activity in those trips. We walked and rode with forty-two young people to companies, to training centres and to administrative facilities. With this praxeological approach, we thoroughly analysed the hybridisation in real-time and the combination of different types of travel informations. This emic perspective questions the common idea that these young people, living in poor suburbs, would have fewer skills to move in the city and to use digital devices. Our work shows that NEETs produce many bricolages that combined copresent and spatial resources, interactional resources and digital resources to manage their journey. Actors are into an hybrid do-it-yourself mobility. The articulation of all resources creates different forms of hybridisations in a travel situation, showing a range of mobile and digital skills.This dissertation brings out the importance to examine both of the situational and existential dimensions of mobility to understand how actors are able to manage unusual trips to get a job. The aim of the trip is a key to understand how actors deal with the situation of mobility. Mobile and digital abilities can be properly explored when they are situated in their spatial contexts, into general practices and in a mobility plan. That is the reason why the hybridisations, developed in the dissertation, restore actors’ skills in the trip progress

Lee, Jason. Nazism and Neo-Nazism in Film and Media. NL Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789089649362.
Abstract:
This timely book takes an original transnational approach to the theme of Nazism and neo-Nazism in film, media, and popular culture, with examples drawn from mainland Europe, the UK, North and Latin America, Asia, and beyond. This approach fits with the established dominance of global multimedia formats, and will be useful for students, scholars, and researchers in all forms of film and media. Along with the essential need to examine current trends in Nazism and neo-Nazism in contemporary media globally, what makes this book even more necessary is that it engages with debates that go to the very heart of our understanding of knowledge: history, memory, meaning, and truth.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Mancini's work on the large-scale space alien film Lifeforce (1985). Mancini's handwritten sketches for his score to the film reveals how important the job was to him, coming at this stage of his career. At last someone was offering him the kind of blockbuster science fiction epic that John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and even the young guys like James Horner (Brainstorm [1984]) and Alan Silvestri (The Abyss [1989]) were getting. With Lifeforce he might join the new ruling class of film composers on its own terms. However, the film was being supervised by Cannon Pictures, part of the infamous movie brokerage firm the Cannon Group. They had made their money by funding quick and cheap genre films on a one-time basis, turning a profit by almost immediately handing them over to their video-release branch. It was decided that Lifeforce would be chopped down to a more manageable length and into a form where most of the long reflective or descriptive visual sequences would be truncated. Along with them, their music had to go.

Abstract:
This chapter deals with syntactic and prosodic reflexes of information structure in the Germanic languages. It begins with an overview of givenness and word order variation in the TP, along with aboutness topics and the prosodic prominence of topics and foci. It then considers the postulation of a focus head in Germanic and how contrast seems to intensify the acoustic properties of topics and foci. It shows how the left edge of verb second clauses acts as a slot for placing contrastive elements in all Germanic languages, but that the position is also filled on purely formal grounds. The article also describes the conditions of information structure that decide whether an XP can go to the position preceding the finite verb/auxiliary in the verb second (V2) constructions. Finally, it discusses two types of V2 constructions: unrestricted V2 constructions and pragmatically restricted V2 constructions.

Abstract:
Since its first feature, Snow White (1937), Disney musical films have often centered on the coming-of-age experiences of young girls; however, the reliance on fairy tale models has often meant a highly conservative structure in which the girl “is won” rather than “wins.” The modern rebirth of the Disney musical with The Little Mermaid (1989) prefigures the 1990s rise of stories of girls’ finding their voices (both literal and metaphorical), often based on literary sources or true stories. In these films, music has a significant narrative role, since the “journey” is so often inward and therefore difficult to portray in image and action. Brave (2012) and Frozen (2013) build on traditional inward/spiraling “girl” storytelling tropes by doubling them with more external, linear “boy” trajectories. In both, two female characters orbit each other along their journeys. Brave is a sense-and-sensibility tale in which Merida already has a strong sense of self, and she and her mother learn from each other and bond (established with parallel songs at beginning and end). In Frozen (loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen), the elder of the two royal sisters was originally written as a villain; after the songwriters delivered “Let It Go,” they report that the producers’ response was that “Elsa could no longer be a villain.” The emotive power of the song had deformed the narrative and dominates the film’s reception. The younger Anna rescues Elsa to rescue their kingdom; however, the price is the symbolic palace of selfhood that Elsa constructs during the extended prolongation of the song’s bridge. “Let It Go” is also in a line of showtunes from “Nobody’s Side” from Chess to “Defying Gravity” from Wicked, all associated with singer Idina Menzel and sharing musical traits that suspend the tonic between the dominant and subdominant poles, blurring harmonic drive, and giving the voice particular agency. “Let It Go” is the simplest of these, sitting well in even untrained voices, making it particularly gratifying for the many young girls who sing along to the movie and, in astonishing numbers, on YouTube.

Abstract:
The second recess began with the plan to resume the hearings in October after watching a series of films discussed during the investigation. However, the mounting criticism would make it difficult to predict a victory for the isolationist senators. Because the films had not yet been screened, and with the growing divide within the subcommittee with Senator Tobey’s antics on the last day, the Los Angeles Times predicted the end of the investigation was near. The Senate subcommittee on Motion Picture Propaganda was finally disbanded on December 18, 1941. The subcommittee would never reconvene as Hollywood, along with the rest of the country, had become wholeheartedly dedicated to the war effort. The isolationists had no choice but to go along for the ride. Those involved with the Senate investigation would continue to do their jobs and live their lives. Unlike other events in political history, this one would not have many ripple effects after December 7, 1941. The United States senators would see a mixed bag of career success.

Abstract:
This chapter offers a detailed synopsis of Neil Marshall's The Descent (2005). This serves to clarify what actually happens (going by the reviews, the film has been for certain viewers a confusing experience) and to introduce some speculative ideas that do not fit neatly anywhere else. The film is about a group of women who went on a caving expedition which would eventually go horribly wrong. The chapter highlights the significance of one of the scenes in the beginning of the film in establishing various subtle fault lines in the group dynamic. Rather than opting for unrealistically distinct character types, Marshall presents a group whose credibility is actually enhanced by an apparent initial similarity, as though the viewer has been introduced around at a party or a new workplace and has trouble remembering exactly who everyone is. This credibility, along with the length of the scene, demonstrates that the film has a certain compassion for its characters, prompting a copycat response from the viewer. These characters are neither ciphers nor witless irritants, and the film spends some time building them up as credible individuals.

Abstract:
In the fall of 1990, a hit movie comedy opened to packed houses in eastern German theaters. Go, Trabi, Go!—the producers gave the film an English title—celebrated with rollicking Weltschmerz the misadventures of Georg, a hapless baby-blue Trabant 601—whose jinxed capers make him the undeniable screen successor to Herbie, the Disney VW Beetle of the 1960s. Georg stalls pitifully on the Autobahn, is shorn of his bumper in Munich traffic, is robbed of all four tires by pranksters during a camping stop, and even gets mistaken for scrap near an auto junkyard, an obvious metaphor for the DDR running out of gas—as it lurches toward unity. Go, Trabi, Go! begins with DDR German teacher Udo Struutz deciding to fulfill a long-deferred dream: his first journey to the West will be to travel from his hellhole hometown of industrial Bitterfield, the dirtiest city in all of Eastern Europe, to balmy Naples, thereby tracing the footsteps of his beloved Goethe, whose Italian Journey recorded his own (less quixotic) southern pilgrimage from Weimar in the 1780s. Herr Struutz packs his wife and daughter into little Georg, a family member for 20 years whom Herr Struutz lovingly wipes down with his own washcloth. “See Naples and Die!” scrawls Herr Struutz on Georg’s trunk, recalling Goethe’s clarion call to self-actualization: “Sterbe und werde!” (“die and become!”). The adventure turns out to be a story of Innocent Ossis Abroad and their psychological collision with the West. Numerous scenes in Go, Trabi, Go! allude to the region’s plight: putt-putting along on the Autobahn, little Georg strains to do his maximum speed of 60 mph as contemptuous Mercedes-Benzes, Porsches, and BMWs fly by; broken-down in Bavaria, Georg costs the Struutz family a steep (an outrageously inflated) price for repair, which the intrepid socialist entrepreneurs earn by charging curious Bavarians DM 5 for a “Trabi Peep Show” and a five-minute joy ride in Georg. Reassuringly, the Struutz family eventually does reach its destination, albeit with the accident-prone but indomitable Georg—now minus his top—as a breezy convertible.

Abstract:
E-commerce has grown immensely with the increase in activity on the Internet, and this increase in activity, while immeasurable, has also presented several different security risks. As with any other means of business, it cannot be assumed that all players will abide by a code of moral conduct. This essentially means that all users of e-commerce, whether they are on the consumer or supplier side, must be wary of the problems that this technology can present. Both the legal and illegal services present a unique set of security risks that can present immense problems to anyone who is affected by them. In order to combat these problems, the user must first understand them. Only then will they be able to take proper action, so as to protect themselves from the risks presented by online music files. To build this foundation of understanding, this chapter is going to first focus on not only the benefits of e-commerce, but also the security threats and risks that it presents, along with the main problems organizations and individuals face as a result. Lastly, the discussion will go on to argue some of the proposals that have been established that have the goal of making e-commerce more secure.

In Fronteiras de acesso à Justiça: Processo e Meios Alternativos na Democracia no Século XXI, 147–62. JUS.XXI, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.51389/qkhj4386.
Abstract:
The Brazilian Judicial Branch is known as slow and with a disparity between the filed procedures and those resolved. The so-called “verdict culture” contributes to an overload of litigation in Brazil, along with the disorganization and excessive bureaucracy. Case management acts to make the procedure more effetive, by giving more participation to the jugdes, looking for effective social pacification, also eliminating or reducing the unecessary procedures, and promoting conciliation, mediation and arbitration of conflicts. It is analysed if the procedure's length is a factor to be considered when the goal is social pacificaction through the feeling of justice other than giving up due to tiredness and hopelessness in the resolution of demands. It is identified two advantages in the slowness of the procedure to the mean-spirited: the temporally economic, once it has its solvency obligation term extended; and socially economic, once the maintenance of a lawsuit is costly to the parties, and the economically weaker party will tend not to be able to afford such costs and be pressured to give up the lawsuit. Through qualitative research of bibliographic review to legal scholars and statistical data from the Brazilian National Council of Justice, the current state of judicial slowness is analyzed and evaluated how the proposal of case management can assist in relieving the demands, implement the constitutional principle of procedural promptness and begin the transition from the "culture of the sentence" to the "culture of pacification". From this, we conclude that proactivity based on case management by the magistrate who acts directly to encourage alternative means of conflict resolution, identifying and restricting delaying attitudes by the parties and himself helps create a favorable and pedagogical environment that influences and motivates a commitment to be assumed by the parties. The proposal of case management, therefore, is to go beyond the rules, seeking to cultivate attitudes and customs that enable the opening of a new phase for Brazilian Law: the culture of pacification. Keywords: civil procedure; case management; constitutional principle of procedural promptness.

Abstract:
When simran arora returned to New Delhi from London, master’s degree in hand, her parents welcomed her with an enough-is-enough ultimatum: she was twenty-six, and it was time to settle down with a good Punjabi boy of their choosing. “I said sure, why not,” recounted Simran, four years older (and wiser, as I was to find out). “If the guy is Mr. Right, who cares if it’s an arranged marriage?” Simran isn’t her real name. She asked me to keep her identity secret because she didn’t want her family and friends to learn the details she was about to tell me. “It’s a complicated, messy, crazy story,” she warned me. Simran’s willingness to be matched by her parents was not unusual. The 2012 India Human Development Survey found that a mere 5 percent of women picked their own husbands; 22 percent made their choices along with their parents or other relatives, and 73 percent had their spouses picked for them with no active say. When marriages are “arranged,” parents usually filter candidates based on compatibilities of caste, class, and family. In many cases, the stars must be aligned—quite literally—as astrological charts are matched to ensure a future of marital harmony. Not everyone follows convention. A small but growing number of Indians, mostly young urban professionals, dismiss the prospect of being set up. Their alternative is the curiously named “love marriage”—a union that implies not only the serendipity of falling for someone but also a proactive, defiant choice. Adding the prefix “love” attaches a hint of illicit romance to what is known in most other parts of the world as, simply, marriage. The choice isn’t always binary. Sometimes unions nestle between “arranged” and “love.” There is, for example, the increasingly common “arranged-to-love” approach, where old-school-but-liberal parents allow a family-matched couple to go on several dates in the hope of Cupid doing his thing. (Incidentally, Indians have their own version of the Greek god: the Lord Kāmadeva is often depicted as a handsome man with green skin, wielding a sugarcane bow with a bowstring of honeybees.

In Mobile Computing Solutions for Healthcare Systems, 135–56. BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBLISHERS, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.2174/9789815050592123010013.
Abstract:
COVID-19 is an infectious disease that has spread globally, and the best way to slow down transmission is to maintain a safe distance. Due to the COVID-19 spread, social distancing has become very vital. Furthermore, the formation of groups and crowds cannot be left unseen. Even when the necessary regulations have been implemented by governments worldwide, people tend not to follow the rules. We wanted to make it possible for authorities in areas like schools, universities, industries, hospitals, restaurants, etc., to monitor people breaking social distancing rules and take appropriate measures to control the virus from spreading. To monitor and control the crowd, society requires a system that does not put other people's lives at risk. Therefore, it is critical that we stop it from spreading further. Initially, the government imposed a lockdown to control the spread of the virus. Due to the lockdowns, the economy had experienced some negative effects. Due to the economic slowdown, people were allowed to go out and carry on with their regular tasks, leading to crowding in many places, intentionally or unintentionally. The research work aims to make a crowd detection and alert system in public places like hospitals, schools, universities, and other public gathering events. The proposed idea has two modules; a deep CNN CrowdNet people counting algorithm to detect the distance between humans in highly dense crowds and an IoT platform for sending information to the authorities whenever there is a violation. Image processing is carried out in two parts: extraction of frames from real-time videos using YOLO CV, and the second is processing the frame to detect the number of people in the crowd. The crowd counting algorithm, along with the vaccination, will enforce safety rules in people-gathering places and minimize health risks and spread. The image processing YOLO model mainly targets people not following social distancing norms and standing very close by. The data for the violations are sent online to the IoT platform, where the value is compared to a threshold. The platform aids in sending alerts to the concerned authorities in case of significant violations. Warnings are sent through e-mail or personal messages to the concerned authorities and the location. This model prevents the presence of an official to check whom all are violating the rules. There is no need for human intervention and risking their lives; direct messages can be sent through the IoT platform to authorities if there is a crowd formation. Data analytics can help find out the peak hours of crowding and help control the crowd much more efficiently. CrowdNet, a deep CNN algorithm, will estimate the number of humans in a given frame to classify the locations where most people communicate and check whether the safe distance is not reached and the number of times it is not reached. Our system sends the number of people available in the frame at that moment and whether they are maintaining social distancing or not. The Deep CNN algorithm will filter the objects by capturing high-level semantics required to count only the humans and calculate the distance between the humans alone. The base neural network is Alexnet to estimate whether it is safe or not and then send it to the respective authority. This proposed idea using CrowdNet CNN and IoT combination will help find out peak hours of crowding and help control the spread of the disease during social distance violations without human intervention. Thus, social distancing in public places is automated using the real-time deep learning-based framework via object detection, tracking, and controlled disease.

Abstract:
The vaned diffuser is advantageous in turbo-machinery which needs smaller size, so the vaned diffuser is widely used in the micro/small turbine engine. But the separation and strong mixing are often existent in the flow filed of such diffuser, and the viscous force, precision loss and frictional losses go up as size goes down, so the performance of micro diffuser is decreased. To improve the performance of diffuser in micro turbine engine, a new-style micro diffuser is presented in this investigation, which is composed of full blades and splitters. It is regarded as a series of ducts in design, and the effect of cross-section area distribution along the flow path on the new-style diffuser performance is studied. It not only can improve the performances, but also be easy to manufacture for micro turbine engines. The new-style micro diffuser was applied to replace the traditional vaned diffuser in an 11cm-diameter prototype engine, and the improvement of performance is verified by CFD and experiment. The advanced performance of the optimal micro diffuser (Cp above 0.65, σ above 0.9), is obtained with same external size.

"Ultra-Deep 3D Electromagnetic Inversion for Anisotropy, a Guide to Understanding Complex Fluid Boundaries in a Turbidite Reservoir." In 2022 SPWLA 63rd Annual Symposium. Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.30632/spwla-2022-0119.
Abstract:
In mature fields, fluid contacts undergo vertical depth shift and lateral variation due to production and injection. Variability in these contacts can be exaggerated by depositional, structural, and lithological elements, acting as baffles and conduits. In turbidite deposits, where sand sequences are intercalated or draped by shales, fluid movement can be influenced by these lithological changes. Shales can range from thin layers to units several meters thick, thus occurrences can in some cases be identified from seismic data or detected with shallow to ultra-deep logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools. However, thin shales can go undetected in electromagnetic (EM) data if resistivity contrasts are low. In a water-filled reservoir, shales can be indistinguishable from water-flooded sands, unless directly penetrated. Inverting for formation resistivity alone leaves a question unanswered: are the low-resistivity zones water-filled sands or shales? One defining factor is anisotropy; inverting for anisotropy provides a tool to differentiate shales from water-filled sand. Clean, water-filled sand will be relatively isotropic compared to laminated shale. This paper investigates identifying shales at distance through 3D EM inversion for anisotropy, and the deeper reservoir understanding gained through identifying how lithological distribution impacts fluid movement. In a trilateral well, initial 1D inversions for resistivity clearly show variable, low-resistivity contacts above and below the reservoir. Above the well is the overlying shale caprock. Below the well, correlation with offset data indicates that this is the oil-water contact (OWC). However, this lower boundary is not confined to a single horizontal plane and has a more complex morphology than expected, given the properties of the reservoir. The boundary was only penetrated in one area towards the toe, where both shales and water-filled sands were encountered. Ultra-deep 3D EM inversion shows inverted resistivity values consistent with the anticipated water below, but also close to the resistivity value for shale. 3D inversion for anisotropy shows a thin layer with high anisotropy bounding the OWC, which has a similar value to thin shale layers and lenses penetrated along the well and identified on gamma logs. The thin shale layer extends over 1000 m (3280 ft) MD. This layer appears to be acting as a baffle, limiting the movement of water within the reservoir. A potential interpretation is therefore that the depositional morphology and post-depositional deformation of this thin shale layer appears to be responsible for the unusual, convoluted OWC.

Abstract:
We develop a topology optimization approach to design two- and three-dimensional phononic materials/structures. Whereas most phononic crystals are based on ideas of periodicity, our approach relieves us of this constraint and allows for the creation of much more complex and efficient designs. It also enables us to go beyond simple filters and waveguides to the point of creating phononic devices. We focus on surface wave devices which carry the energy of the wave near and along the surface of the device. The design of surface wave devices is particularly attractive given recent advances in nano- and micro-manufacturing processes, such as thin-film deposition, etching, and lithography, which make it possible to precisely place thin film materials on a substrate with sub-micron feature resolution. The thin films can be made thick enough to affect most of the energy propagating in the surface wave and therefore a patterned thin film is all that is needed to create a surface wave device. It is the role of topology optimization to determine this pattern.

Abstract:
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Driver’s license examinations require the driver to perform either a parallel parking or a similar maneuver as part of the on-road evaluation of the driver’s skills. Self-driving vehicles that are allowed to operate on public roads without a driver should also be able to perform such tasks successfully. With this motivation, the S-shaped maneuverability test of the Ohio driver’s license examination is chosen here for automatic execution by a self-driving vehicle with drive-by-wire capability and longitudinal and lateral controls. The Ohio maneuverability test requires the driver to start within an area enclosed by four pylons and the driver is asked to go to the left of the fifth pylon directly in front of the vehicle in a smooth and continuous manner while ending in a parallel direction to the initial one. The driver is then asked to go backwards to the starting location of the vehicle without stopping the vehicle or hitting the pylons. As a self-driving vehicle should do a much better job repeatably than a driver, a high order polynomial path model is built along with speed profiling to start and stop smoothly at the ends of the path without large longitudinal and lateral accelerations. In contrast to the long horizon, higher speed path planning and path tracking control applications in the literature, this paper treats low speed and very short horizon path planning and path tracking control with stopping and direction reversal. The path is constructed using a segmented polynomial fit optimization routine that guarantees path curvature smoothness. A linear path-tracking model is utilized as the basis of the designed control system consisting of a disturbance observer based curvature rejection filter and a speed-scheduled, parameter-space robust PID controller. Simulation studies are conducted to analyze the tracking performance of the combined control system, and results indicate that it has better performance compared to other common control systems such as standalone PID controller and combined PID and feedforward control.</div></div>

Abstract:
Abstract This paper introduces an approach for automatic measurement while drilling (MWD) survey processing that can work fully autonomously and covers the entire workflow: geomagnetic reference calculation, survey data prefiltration, corrections for drillstring interference (DSI), bottom hole assembly (BHA) sag, Stockhausen effect (Stockhausen and Lesso 2003), system health monitoring, survey quality control (QC), and toolcode proposal. The main focus of this study is to formulate principles to realize high reliability of the system, and the reliability of all subalgorithms must be close to 100% to reach the system autonomy requirement. This article highlights four major cornerstones for building such a system: Initialization data validation Static and continuous survey filtration Robustness of the key algorithms QC of output data and system operation. The cornerstones are implemented as follows: Formalization of data schemes and algorithms for internal validation and cross-validation Development of highly robust survey filtration algorithms that are resistant to noise: prefiltration multistation analysis (MSA) algorithm, dogleg severity (DLS) capacity filter, and continuous inclination DLS filter Improvement of accuracy and robustness for MSA, BHA sag, and Stockhausen effect corrections: the calculation of the geomagnetic reference along the trajectory, novel MSA with a priori and steering control information utilization, input smoothing for BHA sag correction, and continuous static survey fusion steady against continuous inclination errors New dynamic acceptance criteria for the total G, total B, and dip angle based on an MWD error model; novel steering acceptance criteria for inclination and azimuth; internal control system for MSA correction, BHA sag correction, and high-definition trajectory calculation; general external control for output trajectory vs. plan; and toolcode assignment based on full covariance analysis Consequently, the automatic system demonstrates complete stability to the noisy data streams of static surveys, continuous inclinations, rotor/slide intervals, capability to work without the no-go zone restriction, correct work within high direction and inclination (D&I) and DSI error ranges, the effective detection of geomagnetic reference issues and system malfunctions, and realistic toolcode assignment. The system significantly reduces human engagement in real-time survey QC and correction. An expert is only involved in case of an issue (D&I module failure, strong external magnetic interference, etc.).

"Experimental Study on the Effects of Human and Electronic-Mechanical Interaction on RF Signal Strength for a Personal Server." In ASME 2005 Pacific Rim Technical Conference and Exhibition on Integration and Packaging of MEMS, NEMS, and Electronic Systems collocated with the ASME 2005 Heat Transfer Summer Conference. ASMEDC, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipack2005-73154.
Abstract:
This paper describes experimental results for transmission quality based on antenna direction, packaging materials, and interactions with the local environment. Many mobile devices depend heavily on wireless communications for their operation, making antenna efficiency very important for their successful operation. The Personal Server (PS) research platform enables the user to carry with them their palm-size personal computer anywhere they go. By simply approaching another computer, a kiosk, or other computing interface, all of the user’s data is accessible by wireless connection and transferred to the receiving device. The prototype acts like a mobile server that the consumer can take with and depending on the situation can interact with through any available computing device such as laptops, PCs, tablets, etc. Since the PS uses RF transmission to send files and images to the interfacing computers, maintaining reliable and robust signal strength is important for the device. An experimental approach was used to better understand the factors which may degrade or augment signal strength. The approach taken in this investigation quantifies the effects of human and electronic-mechanical factors on the transmission strength of the PS and help guide decisions on design changes that would favor an improved quality of signal. The investigation looked at two specific areas that could potentially influence signal performance: i) human interaction and usage ii) electronic-mechanical design factors. The first part of the investigation looked at how the device performed in the presence of a human body, specifically the way it was positioned with respect to the user as well as the position of the human body with respect to the receiving antenna. In addition, the signal strength was observed when the PS was in the presence of other objects commonly carried along the human body. The remaining part of the experiment concerned itself with the given design of the device, specifically the PCB components and plastic casing. Factors from both the electronic and mechanical domains, such as battery placement, paint presence on housing, and geometry of casing, were varied simultaneously using a Design of Experiment (DOE) approach.

Radescu, Radu, and Tudor Ardelean. "E-BUSINESS LEARNING TOOL FOR ONLINE BANKING BASED ON BPM (BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT)." In eLSE 2019. Carol I National Defence University Publishing House, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.12753/2066-026x-19-047.
Abstract:
Business Process Management (BPM) is a discipline involving any combination of modeling, automation, execution, control, measurement and optimization of business flow. BPM should take into account well-defined input data and a single set of output data. BPM platforms include a portal and a user dashboard, providing concept, simulation, rule definition, process execution, integration, monitoring, and optimization functions. The purpose of this paper is to develop a learning application for the management of banking processes and related databases, which can be used to model the business processes specific to the educational field in finance and banking (e-banking). The application has a general character and can be used to implement any kind of business process in the online learning environment. The model chosen is the relational organizational model, using SQL (Structured Query Language), in which tables have been defined for processes, flows, states, actions, and parameters. Also, two processes are defined within the application, each with a very simple flow, which highlights the concepts of business-case e-learning applied in banking management using BPM tools. As a motivation, the present work was born out of the need to improve the classical way of learning, by calling on the modeling and execution of e-banking specific processes through BPM. If the complexity of a targeted process increases greatly, it is hard to follow and understand in a learning activity. Thus, the process becomes difficult to modify and adapt to the needs of the beneficiary and when the number of processes involved becomes large any change or development of new functionality can take a long time. Thus, a structure that uses generic data types defining process-specific entities is a solution to improve how e-business processes are developed in order to make learning easier. In this respect, all processes modeled in an e-banking business learning platform have common structural components, while being differently parameterized according to each process. The technical analysis period is thus reduced, providing a permanent overview of existing processes. The structure designed accordingly is tested through a web application that connects to a database. The developed application is therefore a generic business process management learning tool, exemplified for e-banking processes, assumed by a case study: providing a bank credit to a client. The aim of the paper is to develop the most efficient software product for e-banking, thus generating a generic platform for assimilation of any type of process flow. The system architecture modularizes the entire project (developed in Visual Studio 2012) in four levels to ensure a clearest logical separation: - Data Access Level (configured using the Entity Framework with integrated Repository pattern) - Data Transfer Level (containing the code for each entity in the database); - Services Level (containing the database query code and maintaining the consistency of all information); - User Interface Level (containing HTML code combined with Razor syntax and deploying controllers via JavaScript functions included in the forms and dictating the entire system logic). In addition, three software development templates have been used to make the work of the developer easier and to make the learning product as efficient as possible. The calls to the database - the weakest link in any application in terms of performance - have been minimized to the highest degree. The BPM-based approach together with the related concepts - the graphic process representation (BPD: Business Process Diagrams), the specific modeling standard (BPMN: Business Process Management Notation) and the BPM rule engine - facilitate a transparent and simple management of all e-business specific processes and, at the same time, their easier learning. The visual process representation method (BPMN) is integrated into the web application through the jQuery technology and the BPM rule engine and the rules itself are included in web application controllers. The business necessity of the present work is customized in the goal of fluidization and dynamism applied in solving any defined process. Thus, in the case study approached, the client applying for a credit goes through the necessary steps in a shorter time, and the cost of analyzing his/her file by the bank is smaller because it automates many portions of the whole process, the involvement of the human factor being importantly reduced. Hence, compared to the conventional version, the corresponding learning process is much simplified and easier to assimilate. Even though a process has already been automated, it often needs to be calibrated and adapted to better manage the actual situations that occur. The developed learning tool can automate large sections of the e-business process using a decision-making module able to determine the next state, based on the user input parameters and the current status of the e-banking process. This module, integrated using the MVC environment, is customized by setting limits and adding new constraints. After the credit application is completed, its initial status is defined by the flow it belongs to. After the application runs through the entire stream and reaches a terminal status, no actions can be executed on it. However, the client is able to apply to another credit that will go through exactly the same flow pattern. The resulting learning application for banking-specific e-business processes is able to manage any type of processes and modify these processes through the developed BPMN interface. The original contributions of the paper are as follows: - Theoretical and practical design of the e-business learning platform database; - Developing the web application in ASP.NET along with the related front-end technologies: HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript; - Modeling and implementing as a case study the process of learning the flows of a banking process that highlights the concepts defined by the BPM methodology. The designed and developed application fulfills its intended purpose: supporting online learning to manage any type of business process with the ability to dynamically modify and adapt these processes through the built-in BPMN interface. The database is well structured, providing measures to support the growth of the platform's complexity, as well as measures to ensure its versatility in using for educational purposes in any e-business processes other than banking.
