Abstract:

Survivability in shock environment is an important reliability index of silicon micro-gyroscope. Shock response of dual-mass silicon micro-gyroscope is investigated in this paper. A lumped mass model was established for the micro-gyroscope based on the characteristics of the dual-mass structure. Analytic solution to the response of the structure under shock load in a half-sine acceleration form was then acquired. The analytic solution was applied to calculate the shock response of a well designed dual-mass silicon micro-gyroscope in our laboratory, while the correctness of it was verified with finite element method (FEM) in ANSYS. The analytic solution is serviceable in reliability prediction of dual-mass silicon micro-gyroscope in shock environment.

Abstract:

An important and difficult problem in the agricultural business is not only the production of crop and livestock products, but also their processing. Agricultural business has a great impact on the country’s economy in modern times. In the conditions of the modern market, there is an increasing demand for the study of the theory and practice of management accounting and its features in relation to a specific target audience. Among the variety of agricultural organizations that has emerged, the most important is to determine priorities in improving our own business in order to increase its efficiency and uniqueness. For reliable information and analytical support for agricultural business and management decisions, it is necessary to keep management records in organizations (production accounting, budgeting, management, planning, analysis, evaluation, abstraction, etc.). At the present stage of economic relations between business entities, it can be said that the success of any agricultural business depends largely on management accounting, which should point to the advantages, novelty and main features of the business that distinguish it from its competitors in the field of agriculture. The success of management accounting, as an instrument of the entire business mechanism of an economic entity, is currently determined by three main factors: purposefulness; systematic character; and clearly defined quality of information provision for management decision-making. Any management decision made in the agricultural business should be based on timely analyzed information on the macro environment, the environment and the microenvironment. Thus, management accounting gives impetus to the development of agricultural business on the basis of the studied factors.

Abstract:

Indoor environment has great effects on the health, comfort, and performance of occupants in modern buildings. The energy used for ventilating of buildings is substantial. However, ventilation based on total volume air distribution in spaces is not always an energy efficient way to provide high-quality indoor environments. Recently, individually controlled ventilation, which is designed to supply clean air where, when, and as much as needed, makes it possible to efficiently achieve high-quality indoor environment while reducing energy use. The personalized solutions generate a micro-environment that covers the space where the user spends a relatively long time. This review based on a number of experimental and numerical studies on total volume ventilation, zonal ventilation and personalized ventilation to assess the most suitable methods for indoor environment. Performance in terms of thermal comfort, air quality and energy efficiency are examined. In this study, different ventilation systems are classified according to specific requirements and assessment procedures. Finally, a discussion on the application and benefits of these ventilation is conducted and gives a direction for further investigation. The analysis results form a basic framework regarding the application of personalized ventilation in future.

Abstract:

This study proposes regulatory, normative, and cognitive dimensions and empirically investigates how these three dimensions take form in a measure of institutional environment from gender perspective. The study carried out the work within the micro-ebusiness sector in China and collected the data with 689 females and 357 males. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is used to test the dimensionality of institutional environment. It also used Cronbach’s alpha to check the reliability of the intended measure. The findings show that the early scholars’ measurement of the institutional environment in regulatory, normative, and cognitive dimensions still applies to Chinese males in the micro-ebusiness sector. However, the specific items regarding regulatory and normative form distinct factors of what mixed the two dimensions in female group. From the evidence of China, it challenges the widely recognized measurement of institutional environment, which need to be redesigned for females in regulatory and normative dimensions. The study outcomes provide a better understanding of how different the institutional environment was evaluated and functioned to female and male. It can help government departments reconsider and improve institutional environment to promote entrepreneurship from gender perspective. This new perspective would add some insights into the literature of micro-ebusiness and enhance the knowledge of the dimensionality of institutional environment.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report on a piezoresistive pressure sensor for micro-pressure measurement with a cross-beam membrane (CBM) structure. This study analyzes the dynamic characteristics of the proposed device. Design/methodology/approach – This CBM sensor possesses high stiffness and sensitivity, measuring dynamic pressure more effectively in a high-frequency environment compared with other piezoresistive structures. The dynamic characteristics are derived using the finite element method to analyze the dynamic responses of the new structure, including natural frequency and lateral effect performances. The CBM dynamic performances are compared with traditional structures. Findings – The pressure sensor performance was evaluated, and the experimental results indicate that they all exhibit similar dynamic characteristics as the designed model. Compared with traditional structures such as the single island, the CBM proves to be superior in evaluating the dynamic performances of pressure sensors at high frequencies of > 30 kHz. Originality/value – Most studies of this micro pressure sensors attempt to promote the sensitivity or focus on the static performance of pressure sensor with micro gauge. This study is concerned with analyze the dynamic characterism of micro pressure sensor and compared with the traditional structures, that prove the CBM structure has stable dynamic performance and is a better option for measuring dynamic micro pressure in biomedical applications.

Abstract:

An Analysis of Corruption in Micro-EnterprisesThe purpose of this study is to present the research work made whilst studying the presence of corruption in the operations of Slovenian micro-enterprises. Our study builds on research which we carried out in 2005 and compares the findings of both studies. We wish to present our findings to public experts for a professional assessment and provide a basis for further work. We hope that in this way we can contribute to the development of new guidelines for the preparation of further analysis, the causes and elimination or at least limitation of corruption in business operations. Notable studies, which address corporate corruption in Slovenia, are non-existent. The results have confirmed the basic research hypothesis that the presence of corruption in the micro-business environment compared to a previous study in the last five years has increased.

Abstract:

Because micro-vibration environment of the high resolution remote sensing satellite makes great influence on image quality, it is necessary to design micro-vibration measurement equipment to accurately measure the micro-vibration parameters which impact the CCD imaging quality. The paper proposes a set of template to design the parameters of the micro-vibration on board. Starting from the change of CCD modulation transfer function (MTF) due to the micro-vibration, we can build the model, analyze the relationship of the CCD MTF and the frequency and the amplitude, and then we can determine the minimum of the angular displacement and the angular velocity. Finally design and conclude a set of logical, realizable and optimal template, which can afford facilities for the design on the parameters of measuring micro-vibration on the other high resolution remote sensing satellites.

Abstract:

Purpose. The aim of the article is to offer a method of estimating the factors of micro- and macro-marketing environment, which will allow identifying potentially profitable markets of the world. Methodology of research. Theoretical analysis of concepts and principles is carried out on the basis of using general scientific methods. The main tools of practical research are based on the use of matrix methods that allow systematizing the results and presenting them in tabular form, which facilitates the implementation of comparative analysis. Certain mathematical dependences, namely the formula of the geometric mean, are used to determine the weighted values of the factors of micro- and macro-marketing environment. This uses two approaches, one of which allows you to take into account all the factors at once, and the other involves the compensation of lower values of higher values. Findings. Factors of macro- and micro-marketing environment are singled out. Among the main macro-factors are identified political-legal, economic, demographic, technical-technological and cultural. At the micro level, the key role for the company’s activities in the international market is played by such marketing factors as: competitors, consumers, intermediaries and others. A toolkit for assessing the factors of the micro- and macro-marketing environment is proposed, which allows identifying markets, attractive activities and development. Originality. An evaluation method was developed that allows taking into account not only quantitative but also qualitative factors in the analysis. An element of scientific novelty is the application of the matrix method to the analysis of factors of the micro- and macro-economic environment, which ultimately allows determining the country’s market, which has the most favourable environment for functioning. Practical value. Practical significance determines the universality of the proposed method, which can be used for any group of factors, regardless of the classification criteria, and the method of presenting the results in a convenient form – in the form of a matrix – significantly optimizes and facilitates comparative analysis and allows to determine country and market for exit, which have the most favourable conditions for activity and development. Key words: micro-marketing environment, macro-marketing environment, factors, competition, consumers, market, intermediaries.

Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to anticipate the most important consequences generated by the installation of a micro-hydropower plant on mountain rivers, on the main components of the environment, and also to identify and locate the potential disruptions caused by the implementation of these projects. In addition, the authors would like to clarify certain aspects regarding the changes brought to the natural setting, the extent to which they affect the components of the environment, the capacity of nature to withstand these micro-hydropower plants and to naturally or artificially recover after the project is put into operation. Another aim is to establish measures for limiting the modifications that appear in time due to the installation of the micro-hydropower plants in order to ensure the good functioning of the respective plants. The main anthropic factors, that represent the subject of the analysis, act synergically, thus making it difficult to understand the impact of this project on the environment, especially since nature recovers itself under certain circumstances.

Abstract:

Biodegradation by microorganisms and mass transfer resistance in the micro-environment of activated sludge floc can cause changes in substrate and dissolved oxygen concentrations within the floc and can contribute to stratification of microbial processes inside the flocs. In this study, an integrated model of the microenvironment of the activated sludge floc was developed for floc from wastewaters from several sources and of varying strengths for dynamic simulation of the combined biological processes of COD and nitrogen removal. The model simulation results and measured profiles show the heterogeneous and gradient-governed microenvironment of activated sludge floc under different substrate and bulk oxygen concentrations. The substrate concentration increase zones inside the floc were present in all activated sludge floc from the Miller Brewing Co. wastewater treatment facility (high pollutant strength), with an oxygen penetration depth of only 0.15 mm into the outer layer. The anoxic and substrate concentration increase zones also dominated in the activated sludge floc from the Mill Creek Plant influent (medium pollutant strength), with the outer layer (0.20 mm) participating in the metabolism of the pollutants. The radius of the substrate concentration increase zone inside the sludge floc decreased with pollutant removal along the length of the tank. When the pollutant concentration in the bulk wastewater was low (Muddy Creek Plant), the substrate concentration increase zone disappeared; the whole floc was aerobic and in a high redox status. Our experiments and model analyses demonstrate that the microorganisms' structure-functions inside activated sludge floc change with the bulk substrate concentration and dissolved oxygen concentration.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a supply chain management framework covering different business environment levels, that is, macro, micro and supply chain levels, and also to evaluate Haiti vs China as apparel-sourcing partners by assessing macro-level, supply-chain-level and micro-level environments from the US apparel buyers’ perspective. Design/methodology/approach In order to achieve this, first, a framework covering these business environment levels was developed and tested through path analysis. Prior to path analysis exploratory factor analysis was conducted to verify proposed factor structures. Data were collected using face-to-face interviews with a sample of 41 apparel companies that operate in the USA and source from China and Haiti. Findings This study found that both supply-chain-level and micro-level environments positively impact global supply chain performance. Supply-chain-level also has a direct effect on micro-level environment and macro-level environment has only a direct effect on supply-chain-level environment. Interviews and discussions based on this framework indicate that Haiti’s proximity to the USA, price, low-wage rates, small-order sourcing opportunities and good basic sewing skills are among Haiti’s strengths. Originality/value This study is unique in developing a multi-level environment framework for supply chain management and in comparing Haiti and China in terms of their supply chains to evaluate the potential competitiveness of Haitian apparel supply chain.

Abstract:

A coupled sharp-front (SF) liquid transport and evaporation model is used to describe the capillary rise of moisture in monoliths and masonry structures. This provides a basis for the quantitative engineering analysis of moisture dynamics in such structures, with particular application to the conservation of historic buildings and monuments. We show how such a system responds to seasonal variations in the potential evaporation (PE) of the immediate environment, using meteorological data from southern England and Athens, Greece. Results from the SF analytical model are compared with those from finite-element unsaturated-flow simulations. We examine the magnitude and variation of the total flow through a structure as a primary factor in long-term damage caused by leaching, salt crystallization and chemical degradation. We find wide seasonal variation in the height of moisture rise, and this, together with the large estimated water flows, provides a new explanation of the observed position of salt-crystallization damage. The analysis also allows us to estimate the effects of future climate change on the capillary moisture dynamics of monoliths and masonry structures. For example, for southern England, predicted increases in PE for the period 2070–2100 suggest substantial increases in water flux, from which we expect increased damage rates.

Abstract:

The corporate governance issue in Macedonian companies has been brought forward during the recent few years. The main reason is the fact that the privatization process completion of socially-owned and partly state-owned enterprises has put emphasis to the challenge to reasonably regulate relationships established within companies on one hand, and relationships between companies and larger society on the other. All market economies, including those with longest tradition, have faced this kind of challenge so far. Corporate governance becomes an increasingly important issue for the Macedonian economy. It is being taken with greater consideration by the companies, regulators and government. The strong wave of privatization programs from mid-90’ have resulted in an altered business environment, and new legal and institutional frameworks have been established. Indeed, corporate governance contributes to sustainable economic development by enhancing the performance of companies and increasing their access to external sources of capital. In this paper we will make attempt to analyze the predominant factors that Create a prolific corporate governance environment in two terms; a) micro level and macro level.

Abstract:

In order to effectively capture the environment vibration energy, convert it into electricity and supply energy for the microelectronics devices, multiple micro piezoelectric cantilevers are designed. It is composed of more than one piezoelectric cantilever array, which broaden the resonant frequency band of the piezoelectric vibrator, and it can produce resonance or similar to the resonance in a frequency range. Compared to a single piezoelectric cantilever, multiple piezoelectric cantilevers can effectively broaden the resonant frequency and improve the piezoelectric power generation capacity. The simulation results show that the finite element method can provide important theoretical guidance for the structural design of multiple micro piezoelectric cantilevers.

Abstract:

Micro/nano handling is an important enabling technology for future manufacturing. In the micro scale, adhesion is a severe problem for efficient and accurate handling tasks. The cause of the adhesion is largely from the microforces, namely van der Waals, electrostatic and capillary forces. Those forces, however, are functions of ambient environmental conditions. This paper exams two important ambient environment parameters in normal micro/nano handling environment: temperature and humidity, in both theoretical analysis and experimental studies. A short guideline for microhandling with temperature and humidity consideration is suggested based on the studies.

Abstract:

The composite structure of row posture micro-piles is a light-weight protection structure for slope, which has the advantages of safe and quick construction, high adaptability to some special environment, and is suited to small size slope protection, especially in the emergency project. The design theory research of this composite structure is obviously deficient comparing to the engineering application. The basic requirement of the elastic foundation-beam theory application is that the foundation should be stable. Because of the row posture micro-piles composite structure improved the stability of slope, the resistant force in front of different location micro-piles is different. On the basis of the elastic foundation-beam theory, using the idea of the general micro-piles horizontal bearing capacity calculation method, the row posture micro-piles advantage have been revealed during the different calculated values of “m” and limited conditions of pile top large deformation. The computational formula of row posture micro-piles composite structure has been established on three basic calculation models, and the special response to seismic force has been calculated and analyzed in a practical case, which will provide certain reference for the micro-piles design.

Abstract:

The water management of cities and villages faces many challenges. Aging infrastructure systems operate for many years after their theoretical lifetime (operation) with a very high need for reconstruction and repair. The solution is proper rainwater management. The investigated area is part of the cadastral area of the Nitra city. This article is based on the use of geographic information systems (GIS) as tools in proposing water retention measures that are needed to improve the microenvironment of the city. We proceeded in several steps, which consisted of area analysis, survey, surface runoff calculations in urbanized areas, proposal of a suitable solution for given location. For real possibilities of rainwater management procedures, a new site on the outskirts of the city was selected. In the given locality, it was possible to use water infiltration as a solution. The locality has suitable conditions of land ownership, pedological conditions, the slope of the area and also the interest of the inhabitants in the ecological solution. The outlined study indicates the need to continue research on the reliability of rainwater management practices.

Abstract:

The effects of internal spraying environment on the microstructures and mechanical properties of plasma spraying NiCrBSi+15%Mo coatings were investigated. For experimental analysis of spraying environment, a specialized internal plasma device and its test unit were developed. Firstly, microstructures of spraying coatings and powders were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, the boding strength, porosity and micro-hardness of the coatings were investigated and determined separately. According to these properties of plasma spraying coating, the influence of spraying environment on the coating properties and specimen temperature could be investigated. The results show that that the coating performances decreased because of the dust, smog and high temperature of the internal spraying environment. The high-performance internal coatings can be obtained by properly designing spraying process and using the special spraying device.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In this study, it is aimed to understand the relation between micro-climate and urban planning in the case of a cold-climate city, Erzurum. The effects of different urban patterns on micro-climate are analyzed in the context of this study. As a methodology, ENVI-met is used for processing micro-climate simulation of selected urban areas by using measured and obtained climate data such as air temperature, relative humidity, average reflected temperature, surface temperatures, sky view factor, wind velocity and direction. In order to check the accuracy of the simulation for the case study area, obtained data (from meteorology station) is simulated with ENVI-met and results were compared with measured data in the area. Also, land uses and field searches based on the observation of existing situation of urban environment were included into analysis. The findings show that irregular building plot sizes and building heights are mostly existing in historical areas and those urban forms increase thermal comfort under cold climate conditions. The results of simulations provided that same heights of the buildings, regular separation of buildings and regular plot sizes have led to severe urban micro-climates. In contrast, it is observed that variety of those urban physical environment features supported comfortable micro-climate conditions. Urban geometry and climate variables are two of the most important factors shaping outdoor spaces thermal comfort feeling.</p>

The article analyzes micro nations as a new idea of establishing one’s own country. Even if micro nations are small and irrelevant, they are an interesting example of how people want to create their own environment. Some projects were established as a joke or for financial profit; others have the ambition of becoming an internationally recognized country. The article presents the story of three different micro nations; Liberland, Imperial Throne, and the Free City of Christiania. All of them represent different approaches for self-governance and ideology (libertarianism, monarchism and anarchism). The article also considers definitions of micro nations and tries to match them with existing definitions of political units.

Abstract:

The early life environment has widespread consequences for later health and disease. To prevent the disease in later life, the assessment of fetal environment is very important. In Japan, birthweight has fallen rapidly during recent two decades. The reduction of birthweight represents reduced fetal nutrition. Deciduous tooth enamel contains pre- and postnatal enamel and its chemical composition reflects the status of metabolism of trace elements during formation period. Deciduous tooth enamel is considered to be a suitable indicator of trace elements exposure in utero. We applied micro-PIXE analysis to investigate the trace elemental content in deciduous tooth enamel. Two deciduous canines from one healthy Japanese boy were used for this study. The enamel section including pre-and postnatal enamel was prepared for micro-PIXE analysis. Five trace elements ( Na , Mg , Cl , Zn , and Sr ) were detected in the scanning area of tooth. The distribution profiles of 5 elements were obtained as X-ray maps. The distribution profiles of zinc and chlorine were specific, and showed higher concentration in surface enamel. No elements showed different profiles of X-ray maps between pre-and postnatal enamel in this sample. The results of this study suggested that micro-PIXE analysis would be able to estimate the trace elements in prenatal and postnatal enamel, respectively.

Abstract:

The model for an efficient real estate sector as suggested by this research is based on the presumption that the efficiency of a real estate sector depends on many macro and micro level variables. The presence of specific macro and micro level variable factors right away imposes objective limitations for efficient activities within the real estate sector. The real estate sector, in the presence of these objective limitations, tries to perform its functions within their bounds with the utmost efficiency. The research aimed at producing a model of a rational real estate sector by undertaking a complex analysis of micro and macro environment factors that affect it and to provide recommendations that would increase its competitive ability. In order to demonstrate the application of the above research by developing a model for an efficient real estate sector, a selection of rational housing investment instruments and lenders will be considered in this paper as a sample.

Abstract:

A crack is found on the surface of stainless steel casting support. The crack was analyzed by macro and micro observation of fracture surface, Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) analysis, chemical analysis, microstructure examination and hardness test. Moreover, the stress distribution was simulated by finite element analysis. The results show that the crack model of the support is stress corrosion. The stress at the crack location is the largest. Three main factors of stress corrosion were the crack of paint layer, marine atmospheric environment and the pretightening force for the support. Because the service environment cannot be changed, therefore, surface paint protective effect and reduction of preload can be improved to avoid stress corrosion cracking again on the support.

Abstract:

Micro learning becomes popular in online open learning and it is effective and helpful for learning in mobile environment. However, the delivery of open education resources (OERs) is scarcely supported by the current online systems. In this research, the authors introduce an approach to bridge the gap by providing adaptive micro open education resources for individual learners to carry out learning activities in a short time span. They propose a framework for micro learning resource customization and a personalized learner model, which are supported by education data mining (EDM) and learning analysis (LA). A service-oriented architecture for Micro Learning as a Service (MLaaS) is designed to integrate all necessary procedures together as a complete Service for delivering micro OERs, providing a platform for resource sharing and exchanging in peer-to-peer learning environment. Working principle of a key step, namely the computational decision-making of micro OER adaptation, is also introduced.

Abstract:

Purpose The failure of structures and components made of SS304 steel because of corrosion in the presence of saline water environment is still an unsolved issue across the globe. Conventionally, coatings and inhibitors are used to mitigate corrosion. The purpose of this study is to propose a novel method to tackle corrosion by means of micro-patterning on the surface and to explore the relation between surface morphology, corrosion and wetting nature of micro-patterned SS304 Steel. Design/methodology/approach Groove-shaped micro-patterns were created on SS304 steel surface with varying ridge and channel widths. Wettability studies conducted on flat and micro-patterned steel surfaces using high speed camera. Corrosion tests carried out in saline water using an electrochemical test set-up to quantify the performance of micro-patterned surface over flat surface and scanning electron microscopic analysis to visualize the severity of corrosion on the surfaces of SS304 steel. Findings Wettability studies showed that the micro-patterned steel surfaces were hydrophobic. Corrosion rates of the micro-patterned steel surfaces were lower by more than an order of magnitude compared to that of the flat steel surface. Scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed that the micro-patterned steel surfaces had less surface damage compared to the flat surface. Originality/value The author shows that the remarkable corrosion resistance shown by the micro-patterned steel surfaces is attributed to their hydrophobicity, which reduced the contact between the surfaces and the corrosive liquid media. Results from the investigation indicate that micro-patterning of SS304 steel surfaces is an effective route to decrease corrosion.

Abstract:

In order to provide effective power for small aerocraft, this paper offers a design of an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester based on MEMS technology, which works in special launching environment. According to "mass-spring-damper" system theory, this paper firstly built a model of the pick-up system, and discussed the pick-up system's response to sinusoidal input and impact load. Then, an energy conversion system was modeled, in order to analyze the system's power output. ANSYS simulation has been done on the pick-up system of different structures & parameters, and the relationship between different structures & parameters and the energy harvester voltage output has been studied. Based on the theoretical analysis and software simulation, the designed energy harvester working high frequency vibration environment can produce voltage over 200mV, which is enough for micro-sensor, low-power circuit in aerocraft.

Abstract:

e15181 Background: Tumor cell’s metabolism has been identified assisting immune evasion in tumor micro environment (TME), and it is very different from that of immune cells. Previous studies mostly focus on bulk or cell lines transcriptome; we aim to find the specific metabolic model of tumor cell based on vast single cell RNA-seq data. Methods: Public transcriptome of 7186 cells (SMART-Seq2) from 33 melanoma tumors in Benjamin’s study were collected from Single Cell Portal of Broad Institute, and metabolic genes were obtained from Human Metabolome Database (HMDB). Raw count data was preprocessed and analyzed using Seurat R package. Statistical analysis and data visualization were all carried out using R software. Results: Metabolic signature genes of malignant cells (Mals), CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and endothelial cells (Endos) were extracted using Seurat. Mals, CAFs, Endos and macrophages shared similar metabolism patterns (high-level glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, purine metabolism and specific proteoglycans profile compared to immune cells, p < 0.01). Glutathione metabolism activity in Mal was higher than that in immune cell, especially GPX1, GPX4 and GSTO1 genes were highly expressed in Mal ( fc > 2, p < 0.01). Compared to immune cells, genes participate in glycolysis, PFKL, ADH5, ENO2, G6PC3, PGM1, ALDH1B1, PFKM, ALDH7A1, GAPDHS, TPI1, PGK1, LDHA, GPI, PKM, LDHB, ENO1, ALDOA and GAPDH were highly expressed in Mals, CAFs and Endos ( fc > 2, p < 0.01). Noteworthily, LGALS1, an inducer of T-cell apoptosis, was highly expressed in Mals and CAF ( fc > 2, p < 0.01). Otherwise, proteoglycans (PGs) in cancer, which contribute to cancer pathogenesis, exhibited high variation from immune cells. Conclusions: We firstly highlight the differential metabolism between tumor and immune cells in TME. Mals, CAFs, endothelial cells and macrophages can assist in evading immune surveillance through reshaping their metabolic patterns at cell level. This study is helpful for exploring new target of metabolic based anti-cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes the performance of a micro-airship fleet (0.5 m diameter) to navigate indoors with waypoint control while tolerating collision between airships and the environment. Very little focus has been placed on studying airships in groups or how well they can rebound back into formation after a collision. With a micro-airship fleet, it is possible to remove the major problem of collision avoidance in multi-unmanned aerial vehicle missions, which can result in damage or even mission failure when other types of aircraft are used. These vehicles could be a viable option for missions where speed and precise control are not an important design constraint, such as indoor reconnaissance or long-term surveillance. A three degree of freedom simulation is created in which five airships are commanded to waypoints throughout a hall way. The control logic used involves independent proportional–derivative control without any communication between airships. Collisions occur during missions; thus, a contact model is included in the simulation to model these effects. Airship parameters were estimated using an actual airship to assure the simulation is accurate. The results show that the airships are able to navigate to their destinations even after several collisions.

Abstract:

Interactive effects of strain, live weight and a non-genetic factor namely micro-environment on the live weight development of cane rats reared in captivity were investigated over a seven-month period. A total of seventy-nine (79) cane rats (Thryonomys swinderianus) originating from three different sources (strains) and of four body weight categories were used for the study. The treatment design was 4x3 Factorial of Live-weightXStrain randomlyassigned to 3 Houses (block) using RCBD, while statistical analysis utilized GLM procedure of SAS® (1999). Data were recorded monthly based on Treatment-combinations and House-micro-environment. Results revealed that effects of strain, live weight category and house-micro-environment on strains were significant. Consequently, interactive effect of strainXhouse-micro-environment was found most depressing on awole>FRIN>Bamidele, while strainXlive-weight category interaction exerted most positive influence on Lawole strain which demonstrated the highest ability for body weight development than other two strains. Findings revealed that interactive effect of STRxHME was most significant on weight development. Bamidele strain was identified as most acclimatized and adaptable of the three strains based on least body weight sensitivity and variation between HMEs. Different strains of cane rat in captive rearing systems would exhibit different and specific reaction norms under interaction of strain, Body weight and House-micro-environment. This knowledge is useful for feeding regimes, husbandry and reeding schemes for cane rats in humid tropics.
