Abstract:

Sustainability of agricutural building's behavior is important characteristic which influence not only expenditure of its design, building and management, but also the choice of housing, working safety, and ease of implementation of these decisions. Models of sustainability assessment suggested in scientific and special literature are based by only several different criteria, so in that way sustainability connot be measured overall. There is no single summarizing indicator which would cover all the aspects of the building's sustainability behavior. The aim of this article is to present methodology for assessment of the agricultural building's sustainability behavior. Presented methodology is based on “Copras” method of multi – criteria evaluation which is build on selected and justified 76 criteria, and they are grouped in 12 parts. It also includes innovative recommendations for the experts‘ assessment for using mentioned criteria.

Abstract:

In order to electrify the transport sector, scores of charging stations are needed to incentivize people to buy electric vehicles. In urban areas with a high charging demand and little space, decision-makers are in need of planning tools that enable them to efficiently allocate financial and organizational resources to the promotion of electromobility. As with many other city planning tasks, simulations foster successful decision-making. This article presents a novel agent-based simulation framework for urban electromobility aimed at the analysis of charging station utilization and user behavior. The approach presented here employs a novel co-evolutionary learning model for adaptive charging behavior. The simulation framework is tested and verified by means of a case study conducted in the city of Munich. The case study shows that the presented approach realistically reproduces charging behavior and spatio-temporal charger utilization.

Abstract:

State-based testing (SBT) is known as deriving test cases from state machines and examining the dynamic behaviour of the system. It helps to identify various types of state-based faults within a system under test (SUT). For SBT, test cases are generated from state chart diagrams based on various coverage criteria such as All Transition, Round Trip Path, All Transition Pair, All Transition Pair with length 2, All Transition Pair with length 3, All Transition Pair of length 4 and Full Predicate. This article discuses a number of coverage criteria at the design level to find out various types of state-based faults in SBT. First, the intermediate graph is generated from a state chart diagram using an XML parser. The graph is traversed based on the given coverage criteria to generate a sequence of test cases. Then, mutation testing and sneak-path testing are applied on the generated test cases to check the effectiveness of the generated test suite. These two are common methods for checking the effectiveness of test cases. Mutation testing helps in the number of seeded errors covered whereas sneak-path testing basically helps to examine the unspecified behavior of the system. In round trip path (RTP), it is not possible to cover all paths. All transition is not an adequate level of fault detection with more execution time compared to all transition pair (ATP) with length 4 (LN4). In the discussion, ATP with LN4 is the best among all coverage criteria. SBT can able to detect various state-based faults-incorrect transition, missing transition, missing or incorrect event, missing or incorrect action, extra missing or corrupt state, which are difficult to detect in code-based testing. Most of these state-based faults can be avoided, if the testing is conducted at the early phase of design.

Abstract:

Statement of the problem. The article analyzes results of the study aimed at studying perceptions of contemporary adolescents about the norms of behavior in society. To conduct the research, we developed a questionnaire consisting of questions about what one can be proud of, what can be considered unworthy and even unacceptable in the behavior of a teenager. The questionnaire was designed in a way to take into account opinion of adolescents themselves, their friends, peers and adults of importance from the environment of minors. The purpose of the article is to provide grounds for the selected criteria on social and normative assessment of adolescent behavior, to share the study results, to analyze them through the prism of personal characteristics of the respondents. The research methodology includes analysis of theoretical materials and research works of foreign and Russian scientists and analysis of experience obtained by specialists working with adolescents to correct their deviant behavior. Despite available in-depth studies of deviance issues (Yu.A. Kleiberg, A.I. Zakharov, I.S.Kon, B.A. Krutetsky, A.G. Kovalev, K. Leongard, A.E. Lichko, I.F. Myagkov, V.N. Myasishchev, I.L. Nevsky, E.Sh. Natanzon, V.S.Stepanov, D.I. Feldshtein, E.G. Eidimiller, V.V. Yustitsky, etc.), there are unresolved issues in terms of perceptions of contemporary adolescents about socially approved behavioral manifestations and assessment of their own behavior and behavior of other people. Research results. Based on the literature analysis, the main criteria for assessing behavioral manifestations were identified. For this, adolescents used the following terms “criminality”, “personal weakness / strength”, “ethics”, “relationships”, “social success / failure”. The study considers various options of personal attitude of adolescents to each of these characteristics. When filling out questionnaires, adolescents chose a description for each of these terms, based on the concepts associated with them. The study resulted in identifying common answers, frequency of their use by adolescents and content analysis of the answers. Conclusion. Based on the results of the study of contemporary adolescents’ perceptions about behavioral manifestations of a person in society, it was revealed that there are deficiencies in understanding and distinguishing the essence of the selected terms. This is evidenced by difficulties in choosing a description of each term. Quantitative indicators demonstrate that the majority of adolescents are characterized by the “I am an adult” position and a hypertrophied desire for independence. Answering the questions about what a person can be proud of, most adolescents emphasize the importance of the category of “relationship” and “social success”. Assessing the category of “ethics” adolescents give specific examples of “anti-ethical norms” and refer this to unacceptable and unworthy behavior. Also, description of the term “criminality” refers to “inadmissibility of actions” by the majority of adolescents. “Criminality” is also described by them in terms of theft, murder, violence, and banditry. Answers to the same questions by adults who are most important in the life of adolescents are of the utmost interest. About half of the adult respondents demonstrated the lack of mature perceptions about behavioral manifestations of a person and criteria for an adequate assessment of the actions of other people.

Abstract:

We consider a nonparametric Generative Tree Model and discuss a problem of selecting active predictors for the response in such scenario. We investigated two popular information-based selection criteria: Conditional Infomax Feature Extraction (CIFE) and Joint Mutual information (JMI), which are both derived as approximations of Conditional Mutual Information (CMI) criterion. We show that both criteria CIFE and JMI may exhibit different behavior from CMI, resulting in different orders in which predictors are chosen in variable selection process. Explicit formulae for CMI and its two approximations in the generative tree model are obtained. As a byproduct, we establish expressions for an entropy of a multivariate gaussian mixture and its mutual information with mixing distribution.

Abstract:

Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to systematically review work site–based, environmental interventions to reduce sedentary behavior following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Data Source: Data were extracted from Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science between January 2005 and December 2015. Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: Inclusion criteria were work site interventions, published in peer-reviewed journals, employing environmental modalities, targeting sedentary behavior, and using any quantitative design. Exclusion criteria were noninterventions and non-English publications. Data Extraction: Data extracted included study design, population, intervention dosage, intervention activities, evaluation measures, and intervention effects. Data Synthesis: Data were tabulated quantitatively and synthesized qualitatively. Results: A total of 15 articles were identified for review and 14 reported statistically significant decreases in sedentary behavior. The majority of studies employed a randomized controlled trial design (n = 7), used inclinometers to measure sedentary behavior (n = 9), recruited predominantly female samples (n = 15), and utilized sit-to-stand desks as the primary intervention modality (n = 10). The mean methodological quality score was 6.2 out of 10. Conclusion: Environmental work site interventions to reduce sedentary behavior show promise because work sites often have more control over environmental factors. Limitations of this intervention stream include inconsistent measurement of sedentary behavior, absence of theoretical frameworks to guide program development, and absence of long-term evaluation. Future studies should include clear reporting of intervention strategies and explicit operationalization of theoretical constructs.

Abstract:

A precise description of the hot deformation behavior as well as determination of the stability conditions as influenced by temperature and strain rate is fundamental for the simulation of metal forming processes. In this work, a revision of various stability criteria of magnesium alloy WE54 is conducted. The study corresponds to own work and that of Lentz et al. and is based on compression tests at high temperature and high strain rates. Stability and processing maps were obtained using a variety of stability criteria, some based on the efficiency parameter η and others on the strain rate sensitivity parameter, m. This parameter is usually determined by fitting the curves strain rate, ε, versus stress, σ, by means of a potential equation named “power law” or by a polynomial of second or third degree, and calculating the slope of the logarithmic curve at each point using successive derivatives. This procedure is compared with one developed by us where all experimental points are fitted to a single hyperbolic sine equation of Garofalo type and then m and η are calculated for each ε and T using this equation. The maps obtained by one or the other method differ considerably. The predictions of these maps were contrasted with microstructural observations and conclusions on the deformation behavior of the alloy are reached.

Abstract:

The continuous improvement of military leadership identity to maintain excellent performance with respect to the promotion of mission success is a highly desired by the Lithuanian Armed Forces. This study seeks to identify the criteria for effective leadership behavior that is appreciated by Lithuanian servicemen. The validated Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ XII) was used to collect data representing followers’ preferences with respect to commander–leader behavior by assessing twelve leadership behavior criteria. Additionally, commander–leaders were chosen as experts to judge the importance of the criteria by pair-wise assessment. Consequently, the Fuzzy Decision Making (FDM) with Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method based on the new concept of the relationship between the influenced and influencing criteria were employed to analyze the ranking using leadership behavior and to establish the causal relationships among the criteria when the collected data were expressed in trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. This study contributes to military leadership by using a novel approach for identifying and prioritizing the behavior criteria for leaders. The results indicate six “cause” constructs: ability to persuade, taking the lead, result orientation, accurate forecasting, building interpersonal relationships, and cooperation with managers. These findings could assist militaries in designing effective improvement strategies for continuous leadership training.

Abstract:

Driver behavior has been considered as the most critical and uncertain criteria in the study of traffic safety issues. Driver behavior identification and categorization by using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) can overcome the uncertainty of driver behavior by capturing the ambiguity of driver thinking style. The main goal of this paper is to examine the significant driver behavior criteria that influence traffic safety for different traffic cultures such as Hungary, Turkey, Pakistan and China. The study utilized the FAHP framework to compare and quantify the driver behavior criteria designed on a three-level hierarchical structure. The FAHP procedure computed the weight factors and ranked the significant driver behavior criteria based on pairwise comparisons (PCs) of driver’s responses on the Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ). The study results observed “violations” as the most significant driver behavior criteria for level 1 by all nominated regions except Hungary. While for level 2, “aggressive violations” is observed as the most significant driver behavior criteria by all regions except Turkey. Moreover, for level 3, Hungary and Turkey drivers evaluated the “drive with alcohol use” as the most significant driver behavior criteria. While Pakistan and China drivers evaluated the “fail to yield pedestrian” as the most significant driver behavior criteria. Finally, Kendall’s agreement test was performed to measure the agreement degree between observed groups for each level in a hierarchical structure. The methodology applied can be easily transferable to other study areas and our results in this study can be helpful for the drivers of each region to focus on highlighted significant driver behavior criteria to reduce fatal and seriously injured traffic accidents.

Abstract This paper proposes a new multiple criteria decision-making method called ERVD (election based on relative value distances). The s-shape value function is adopted to replace the expected utility function to describe the risk-averse and risk-seeking behavior of decision makers. Comparisons and experiments contrasting with the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution) method are carried out to verify the feasibility of using the proposed method to represent the decision makers’ preference in the decision making process. Our experimental results show that the proposed approach is an appropriate and effective MCDM method.

Abstract:

This paper is devoted to a laboratory study of human behavior in a multi-criteria choice problem. The specific feature of the experimental study is the creation of an individually adjusted instance of a general task for each subject in accordance with his/her preferences over each criterion. Human behavior is studied in a specially constructed choice situation based on the decomposition of the alternatives of a multi-criteria problem. The procedure is based on multiple steps of pair-wise comparisons involving only some (two or three) of the original components of the alternatives. Abilities of subjects to use such comparisons and to answer the questions in a logical way are tested. The experiment was carried out in two countries: Finland and Russia.

Abstract:

Abstract Due to their interesting mechanical behavior and their diversity, rubber materials are more and more used in industry. Indeed, formulating a multiaxial fatigue criterion to predict fatigue lives of rubber components constitutes an important objective to conceive rubber products. An experimental campaign is developed here to study the multiaxial fatigue behavior of polychloroprene rubber. To reproduce multiaxial solicitations, combined tension–torsion tests were carried out on a dumbbell-type specimen (an axisymmetric rubber part bonded to metal parts with a reduced section at mid-height), with several values of phase angles between tension and torsion. A constitutive model is needed to calculate multiaxial fatigue criteria, and then analyze fatigue results. A large strain viscoelastic model, based on the tension–torsion kinematics, is then used to determine the material's stress–strain law. Dissipated energy density is introduced as a multiaxial fatigue criterion, and compared with those usually used in the literature. A multiaxial Haigh diagram is then built to observe the influence of Rd-ratio (ratio of the axial displacement's minimum to the axial displacement's maximum) on the multiaxial fatigue lives of polychloroprene rubber.

Abstract:

Salt rock has been used as hast rock to storing hydrocarbons and disposing nuclear wastes because of its low permeability. On other hand it deforms under even low deviatoric stress which threatens the structural stability of salt caverns. Rock mechanical stability is one of important stages in salt cavern’s design and construction, though mechanical factors (such as nonlinear behavior of rock salt), thermal factors (such as temperature changes during injection and production) and hydraulic factors (such as salt permeability and viscosity of stored material) affect on short term and long term behavior of salt cavern. Various criteria and methods have been investigated for salt cavern’s design and stability analysis. In this paper, by taking into account the importance of structural stability of salt cavern, the general behavior of rock salt and salt cavern are given. It reviews the various design concepts and methods and, in the following, stability criteria including stress-based and damage-based are also discussed. It is assigned that the RD stability criterion is more comprehensive than others.

Objective: Physical educators’ implicit theory of children’s deviant behavior in primary education was investigated and compared with diagnostic criteria. Method: A total of 60 physical education (PE) teachers reported deviant behaviors during lessons. Experts sorted these behaviors together with the official diagnostic criteria into categories based on perceived similarity in content. Results: Hierarchical cluster analysis on the derived similarity matrix among the behaviors suggested that PE teachers focus more on attention problems, disobedience, and aggressiveness when internalizing behaviors, such as anxiety and low energy, were less reported. Conclusion: PE teachers may be important and useful informants on children’s behavior in school settings.

Abstract:

A new version of failure criterion for additively manufactured materials, together with simple and accurate calibration procedures, is proposed and experimentally verified in this paper. The proposition is based on void growth-based ductile failure models. The failure criterion for ductile materials proposed by Hancock–Mackenzie was calibrated using simple methods and accessories. The calibration procedure allows the determination of failure strain under pure shear. The method is accurate and simple due to the fact that it prevents strain localization disturbing stress distribution at the failure zone. The original criterion was modified to better suit the deformation behavior of additively manufactured materials. Examples of calibration of the original and modified failure criteria for additively manufactured 316L alloy steel is also given in this paper, along with analyses of the obtained results.

Full text

Abstract:

Caltrans' Seismic Design Criteria (SDC) has been adopted as the minimum seismic standard for ordinary bridges on California's highways. The SDC is a compilation of new and existing seismic criteria that had been previously documented in a variety of Caltrans documents. The SDC extends the capacity design philosophy introduced in the 1980 Caltrans Bridge Design Specifications. The most significant departure from the previous procedure is that ductile members are now designed by comparing the displacement demand to the displacement capacity. The demands are generated by a linear elastic analysis, and the capacities are determined from a curvature analysis that incorporates the nonlinear behavior of the structural elements. The demand/capacity methodology supplants the previous method based on reducing the elastic dynamic forces by a force reduction factor. In this paper, the significant features of Caltrans' SDC are described.

Abstract:

Operating speed is the final presentation of vehicles influenced by integration of highway geometric alignment, road environment, vehicle performance as well as drivers behavior; moreover, the larger speed differential between two consecutive segments is, the worse the design consistency of the section will be, where the probability of traffic accidents will be higher. In this paper, the existing operating speed based criteria for evaluation of design consistency are reviewed, however without comprehensive verification and calibration of the criteria in China, the adaptability and effectiveness of the criteria cannot be verified. The more personalized criteria for China highways are needed. The theoretical analysis of various operating speed based evaluation methods were put forward in order to decide the more localized evaluation method in China; afterwards, a traffic accident based analysis of different road sections of a motorway in northeastern China are put forward in order to verify the critical nominal road segments for road safety audit. Both of the operating speed and traffic accident resources of the verified road segments have been collected from the selected motorway. By applying graphic-arts technique and statistical analysis method, the operating speed based design consistency criteria were developed.

Abstract:

The behavior of concrete is highly nonlinear, even at very low loading levels. Steel, on the other hand, exhibits a relatively linear behavior up till yielding. The synergy between the two materials and their compatibility has long been the subject of research. While the failure criterion for steel is straight forward, concrete can be approached by various theories. The most prominent are the Kupfer-Hilsdorf-Rusch and the Möhr failure envelope. The behavior of material under bi-axial stresses subsequent to cracking can be assumed isotropic or orthotropic, resulting in a differentiation in the material constitutive matrix formulation. This work covers the finite element modeling of reinforced concrete elements, based on the two failure envelopes, while assessing the isotropic and orthotropic methodology. The Finite Element smeared crack approach is used to analyze stresses and the propagation of cracking pattern for the element. The resulting load – displacement curves are validated with identical laboratory tested specimens.

Abstract:

The overall context of this paper is the event-based behavior analysis and focuses on modeling and analyzing behaviors of interest involving time information. Any behavior of interest from any time event system is concisely defined as a set of time constrained events that must occur (positive behavior) and a set of time constrained events that must not occur (negative behavior). This article proposes a formal extension of the chronicle formalism that allows for the concise description of positive and negative behaviors. Based on this new formalism, several criteria are introduced, they formally characterize and compare a set of chronicles. A fully proved implementation of the proposed criteria is then described; it relies on the use of polyhedron techniques to solve systems of linear inequalities.

AbstractLet ƒ H → (—∞,∞] be lower semicontinuous, where H is a real Hilbert space. An approach based upon nonsmooth analysis and optimization is used in order to characterize monotonicity of ƒ with respect to a cone, as well as Lipschitz behavior and constancy. The results, which involve hypotheses on the proximal subgradient ∂ πƒ, specialize on the real line to yield classical characterizations of these properties in terms of the Dini derivate. They also give new extensions of these results to the multidimensional case. A new proof of a known characterization of convexity in terms of proximal subgradient monotonicity is also given.

Abstract:

Beta regression models are a class of supervised learning tools for regression problems with univariate and limited response. Current fitting procedures for beta regression require variable selection based on (potentially problematic) information criteria. We propose model selection criteria that take into account the leverage, residuals, and influence of the observations, both to systematic linear and nonlinear components. To that end, we propose a Predictive Residual Sum of Squares (PRESS)-like machine learning tool and a prediction coefficient, namely P 2 statistic, as a computational procedure. Monte Carlo simulation results on the finite sample behavior of prediction-based model selection criteria P 2 are provided. We also evaluated two versions of the R 2 criterion. Finally, applications to real data are presented. The new criterion proved to be crucial to choose models taking into account the robustness of the maximum likelihood estimation procedure in the presence of influential cases.

Abstract:

Human behavior has been considered as a key factor in road safety. Mostly drivers involve in risky behaviors that cause road safety issues. The identification and categorization of risky driver behavior factors is very important to solve road safety issues. This study aims to evaluate and rank the most significant driver behavior factors related to road safety using multi criteria decision making applications. Driver Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ) was designed based on Saaty scale by considering the important risky driver behavior factors related to road safety. Twenty experts of transportation engineering department having high driving experience were asked to fill the dynamic questionnaire survey. The analytic network process (ANP) was applied based on pairwise comparisons of driver responses to rank the risky driver behavior factors. Network model results were used to differentiate more significant and less significant risky driving behavior factors based on measured criteria on perceived road safety issues. The analysis results revealed that "driving without alcohol use" was the most significant factor and "obeying speed limits" was the least significant factor for road safety as compared to other factors. The high rank risky driver behavior factors should be more focused to solve road safety issues.

Full text

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore why autistic people and their caregivers choose interventions other than applied behavior analysis (ABA), and how their decision impacts them over their lifespan. The focus group was divided into those who pursued augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)-based supports, received ABA, selected other interventions or received no intervention at all. The reported posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) of ABA recipients were compared to non-ABA recipients in order to evaluate the long-term impacts of all intervention types. Using a mixed-method thematic analysis, optional comments submitted alongside a quantitative online survey were reviewed for emergent themes. These comments augmented the survey Likert scores with a qualitative impression of the diverse intervention-related attitudes among participants. Investigating the lived experiences of autism intervention recipients illuminated the scope of the long-term impacts of each intervention that was chosen. Overall, autistics who received no intervention fared best, based on the lowest reported PTSS. These findings may inform the potential redesign of autism interventions based on the firsthand reported experiences and opinions of autistics. Design/methodology/approach The aim of this study was to conduct research that is both question-driven and data-driven to aid in the analysis of existing data (Van Helden, 2013). In the research question-driven approach, the independent variables were the intervention type and duration of exposure relative to lifespan; the dependent variables were the PTSS severity score and binary indicator of meeting PTSS criteria. The analyses that were conducted included linear regression analyses of severity score on intervention type and duration, and χ2 tests for independence of the probabilities of PTSS criterion satisfaction and intervention type. This experiment was designed to test the data-driven hypothesis that the prevalence and severity of PTSS are dependent on the type of autism intervention and duration of exposure. After reviewing the primary data set, the data-driven inquiry determined that the sample for secondary analysis should be categorized by communication-based vs non-communication-based intervention type in order to best complement the limitations and strengths of the published findings from the primary analysis. Findings Autistics who received no intervention had a 59 percent lower likelihood of meeting the PTSS criteria when compared to their ABA peers, and they remained 99.6 percent stable in their reported symptoms throughout their lifespan (R2=0.004). ABA recipients were 1.74 times more likely to meet the PTSS criteria when compared to their AAC peers. Within the 23 percent who selected an intervention other than ABA, consisting of psychotherapy, mental health, son-rise and other varying interventions, 63 percent were asymptomatic. This suggests that the combined benefits of communication-based interventions over behaviorism-influenced ABA practices may contribute to enhanced quality of life. Although not generalizable beyond the scope of this study, it is indicated from the data that autistics who received no intervention at all fared best over their lifetimes. Research limitations/implications The obvious advantage of a secondary analysis is to uncover key findings that may have been overlooked in the preliminary study. Omitted variables in the preliminary data leave the researcher naive to crucially significant findings, which may be mitigated by subsequent testing in follow-up studies (Cheng and Phillips, 2014, p. 374). Frequency tables and cross-tabulations of all variables included in the primary analysis were reproduced. The secondary analysis of existing data was conducted from the design variables used in the original study and applied in the secondary analyses to generate less biased estimates (Lohr, 2010; Graubard and Korn, 1996). Inclusion criteria for each intervention group, PTSS scores and exposure duration, were inherited from the primary analysis, to allow for strategic judgment about the coding of the core variables pertaining to AAC and PTSS. The data sample from 460 respondents was reduced to a non-ABA group of n=330. An external statistician scored each respondent, and interrater reliability was assessed using Cohen’s κ coefficient (κ=1). Practical implications Including the autistic voice in the long-term planning of childhood interventions is essential to those attempting to meet the needs of the individuals, their families and communities. Both parents and autistic participant quotes were obtained directly from the optional comments to reveal why parents quit or persisted with an autism intervention. Social implications Practitioners and intervention service providers must consider this feedback from those who are directly impacted by the intervention style, frequency or intensity. The need for such work is confirmed in the recent literature as well, such as community-based participatory research (Raymaker, 2016). Autistics should be recognized as experts in their own experience (Milton, 2014). Community–academic partnerships are necessary to investigate the needs of the autistic population (Meza et al., 2016). Originality/value Most autistic people do not consider autism to be a mental illness nor a behavior disorder. It is imperative to recognize that when injurious behavior persists, and disturbance in mood, cognition, sleep pattern and focus are exacerbated, the symptoms are unrelated to autism and closely align to the diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When PTSD is underdiagnosed and untreated, the autistic individual may experience hyperarousal and become triggered by otherwise agreeable stimuli. Since autism interventions are typically structured around high contact, prolonged hours and 1:1 engagement, the nature of the intervention must be re-evaluated as a potentially traumatic event for an autistic person in the hyperarousal state. Any interventions which trigger more than it helps should be avoided and discontinued when PTSS emerge.

Abstract:

One of the ways to prevent accidents at sea is to detect risks caused by humans and to counteract them. These tasks can be executed through an analysis of ship maneuvers and the identification of behavior considered to be potentially dangerous, e.g., based on data obtained online from the automatic identification system (AIS). As a result, additional measures or actions can be taken, e.g., passing at a distance greater than previously planned. The detection of risks at sea requires a prior definition of behavior patterns and the criteria assigned to them. Each pattern represents a specific navigator’s safety profile. The criteria assigned to each pattern for the identification of the navigator’s safety profile were determined from previously recorded AIS data. Due to a large amount of data and their complex relationships, these authors have proposed to use data mining tools. This work continues previous research on this subject. The conducted analysis covered data recorded in simulation tests done by navigators. Typical ship encounter situations were included. Based on additional simulation data, the patterns of behavior were verified for the determination of a navigator’s safety profile. An example of using the presented method is given.

Abstract:

AbstractPituitary adenomas are benign pituitary primary tumors, the most frequent type of tumor in the pituitary fossa. An important part, around 1/3 of the pituitary adenomas manifests an aggressive behavior, growing faster and invading into parasellar areas (cavernous sinus, neural tissues and bones). Objectives: the first aim of this paper is to review the last findings about invasiveness diagnostic criteria, imagistic and biomarkers, which can be used in the classification of pituitary tumors and also to predict the probability of invasiveness, tumor recurrence and suspicion of malignancy. The second aim is to highlight the morphological and clinic types of invasive pituitary adenomas. Materials and methods: we performed a systematic review and analysis of the published articles, searching PubMed between January 1985 and December 2015. There were selected articles published in English, reviews and abstracts. During the advanced search type in PubMed, combinations of the following keywords were used: “pituitary adenoma”, “invasive”, “aggressive”, “biomarkers”, “classification”, “histological subtypes”, ‘”immunohistochemical markers”. Results: 215 articles were selected, regarding diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic aspects. There were some histological subtypes of pituitary adenomas known as having an aggressive clinical behavior. Several biomarkers were identified as being associated with the invasive feature: proliferation markers (Ki-67 index, number of mitoses, p53 & p27 expression, microvascularization density, telomerase, topoisomerase 2 Alpha), matrix metalloproteinases, protein kinase C, cyclooxygenase-2, E-cadherin, transcription Factors, genetic alterations (PTTG gene, Galectin-3 protein/ LGALS3 gene), apoptosis markers. Based on their invasion and proliferation characteristics, pituitary tumors are proposed to be classified into five grades (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3), the grade 2b tumor with high risk of recurrence being considered as tumor suspected of malignancy. Conclusions: Using a set of specific biological markers for invasive process, there is hope to establish an early diagnosis and prevention of invasive pituitary adenomas. Due to the fact that aggressive pituitary tumors are generally difficult to manage, unresponsive to therapy, quickly recurrent and associated with poor prognosis, the early diagnosis and the search for new therapeutic approaches is becoming mandatory. Instead of using “invasive” or “aggressive” adenoma, the term “tumor suspected of malignancy” would be used for more accuracy

Abstract:

Abstract The anisotropic material behavior of wood, considered as a cylindrically orthotropic material with annual rings, leads to several different failure mechanisms already under uniaxial stresses. Stress interaction becomes important in the engineering design of structural elements and is often predicted by failure criteria based on uniaxial properties. The prediction quality of failure criteria has been assessed with longitudinal shear stress interaction, though less is known on rolling shear stress in interaction with stress perpendicular to the grain. The study aims at investigating the corresponding mechanical behavior of Norway spruce (Picea abies) clear wood by validating failure envelopes for stress combinations in the cross-sectional plane, based on experimental investigations. For this purpose, a test setup that controls the stress interaction and loading of clear wood along pre-defined displacement paths needed to be developed. Experimentally defined failure states could then be compared to failure surfaces predicted by the phenomenological failure criteria. Material behavior was quantified in terms of stiffness, strength, and elastic and post-elastic responses on dog-bone shaped specimens loaded along 12 different displacement paths. A comparison with failure criteria for two nominal compressive strain levels showed that a combination of failure criteria would be required to represent the material behavior and consider the positive effect of compressive stresses on the rolling shear strength. The findings of this work will contribute to studying local stress distribution of structural elements and construction details, where stress interactions with rolling shear develop.

Abstract:

The issue of sustainability has received substantial attention internationally. It is spreading widely through policy, industry, commerce, research, academia, and other arenas. However, most previous studies on product sustainability were conducted based on a consideration of environmental protection, economic prosperity, and social wellbeing criteria, but there was less representation of specific social wellbeing criteria. The main objective of this study was to formulate well-defined ergonomics-based criteria for product sustainability evaluation and to validate the importance of the identified factors using a fuzzy Delphi method. In this paper, ergonomics-based product sustainability factors are organized by sustainability categories and grouped into employee wellbeing, the economy, and the environment. In the context of manufacturing, evaluating product sustainability from an ergonomics perspective provides more comprehensive social dimension criteria by addressing human characteristics, behavior, performance, human interaction with a product, workplace, working environment, and the product across its life cycle. In addition, a Delphi questionnaire, designed with a nine-point scale, was applied to obtain expert opinions on the importance of each factor; the opinions were combined for each factor by considering the degree of importance assigned to the experts, and the similarities and differences between expert opinions. Finally, high-priority factors were screened from the sustainability categories based on their respective threshold value. Knowing these high-priority factors will help manufacturing industries allocate their resources accordingly for sustainability improvement.

Full text

Abstract:

The performance characteristics of the ZnO-Bi2O3-based varistors can be assessed to meet the applications criteria on the basis of a systematic evaluation corresponding to various experimental conditions. This evaluation process employs the lumped parameter/complex plane analysis technique for the ac small-signal immittance data. An overall behavior of these devices is attributed to the microstructural effects via controlled grain-size and its distribution, existence of phases, carrier density in the grains, trapping states, and their role within the electrical thickness across the grain-boundary electrical barrier, etc. These factors are strongly dictated by the additives to ZnO in conjunction with the processing variables. Multiple device functions can result when a single set from a variety of processing parameters is chosen, provided the starting chemistry or composition/formulation remain invariant. The factors related to materials' history, composition recipe, and combined processing methods influence or modify relative magnitudes of the constituting elements of each trapping relaxation. Thus, these magnitudes either increase or decrease the visibility without distorting the devices' generic dielectric behavior. An identical set of experiments contributes to distinguish a good varistor performance over a poor response for surge arrester (i.e., suppressor/absorber) applications in the power systems' transient protection.

Abstract:

We have previously developed an original method to evaluate small bowel motor function based on computer vision analysis of endoluminal images obtained by capsule endoscopy. Our aim was to demonstrate intestinal motor abnormalities in patients with functional bowel disorders by endoluminal vision analysis. Patients with functional bowel disorders ( n = 205) and healthy subjects ( n = 136) ingested the endoscopic capsule (Pillcam-SB2, Given-Imaging) after overnight fast and 45 min after gastric exit of the capsule a liquid meal (300 ml, 1 kcal/ml) was administered. Endoluminal image analysis was performed by computer vision and machine learning techniques to define the normal range and to identify clusters of abnormal function. After training the algorithm, we used 196 patients and 48 healthy subjects, completely naive, as test set. In the test set, 51 patients (26%) were detected outside the normal range ( P < 0.001 vs. 3 healthy subjects) and clustered into hypo- and hyperdynamic subgroups compared with healthy subjects. Patients with hypodynamic behavior ( n = 38) exhibited less luminal closure sequences (41 ± 2% of the recording time vs. 61 ± 2%; P < 0.001) and more static sequences (38 ± 3 vs. 20 ± 2%; P < 0.001); in contrast, patients with hyperdynamic behavior ( n = 13) had an increased proportion of luminal closure sequences (73 ± 4 vs. 61 ± 2%; P = 0.029) and more high-motion sequences (3 ± 1 vs. 0.5 ± 0.1%; P < 0.001). Applying an original methodology, we have developed a novel classification of functional gut disorders based on objective, physiological criteria of small bowel function.

This study investigates the effects of three facets of work autonomy (i.e., method, schedule, and criteria) on employees’ innovative behaviors. In addition, it examines the effects of each facet of work autonomy on innovative behavior in line with the self-determination theory. Furthermore, based on the trait activation theory, this study explores the interacting influences of the different facets of work autonomy with proactive personality on innovative behavior. Data were collected from the sample of 502 employees and 102 supervisors working for a forging factory in Japan. The results confirm the validity of work autonomy scales. It also finds that innovative behavior is independently affected by work method autonomy and work schedule autonomy as well as work criteria autonomy interacting with proactive personality. These findings are discussed in terms of promoting employees’ engagement in innovative behavior.

Full text

Abstract:

Ignition criteria for gasless self-propagating combustion synthesis have been investigated through an ignition temperature analysis. The calculations were based on the dimensionless energy and mass continuity equations where the dimensionless parameters associated with the rate of local heat generation (β), activation energy (γ), the rate of surface heat loss by convection (ω), the rate of surface heat loss by radiation (δ), and the rate of reaction (λ) were incorporated. The relative significance of each of these parameters on the ignition of the self-propagating combustion reaction was evaluated to be γ > β > δ > ω. The ignition region, transition region, and nonignition region were identified for selected conditions. The correlations between ignition behavior and the material properties, the thermodynamic and kinetic properties, as well as the experimental conditions were discussed. The calculations indicated that only those systems with δH/Cp > 1.5 × 103 (K) will give rise to a self-propagating combustion reaction without external energy input. Thus, this value can be used as an approximate guide for the existence of self-sustaining combustion. The calculations provide a sound basis toward interpreting experimental observations and developing a fundamental understanding of the process.

Abstract:

Physical comfort in a building can give an effect to the psychological inhabitans. In the design of nursing homes, where the residents are elderly, certainly they have a different physical comfort with a younger people. The degenerative disease on elderly cause the need for special attention in architecture, especially on safety and comfort. Currently the nursing homes, mostly do not noticed it well, so still discovered lots of the elderlies got an accident and depressed in a nursing home. This research purpose to know the relationship between the aspects of both comfort and safety for elderly in nursing home that can make the elderly feel comfortable and happy living in their residence. The methods of this research are as follows: first, understand the criteria of elderly in related literatures and observations regarding to the elderly and other related literatures that subscribe with safety and comfort. Second, the literatures study was used to analyze the case study such as Nursing Home Wisma Mulia (Jakarta), Nursing Home Senjarawi (Bandung), and Nursing Home Muara Kasih (Bogor). The results of analysis from the case studies based on the literature, produce an architectural design criterion for the review occupancy elderly. The results of this research concluded that the design of the comfortable and safe against risk of any accident that may occur to the elderly, provided a circulation which can be passes by two wheelchairs at once and freeway, provided handrail in the circulation, provided ramp in any difference level of floor, and using a contrast color but dominant in light and warm color. The other considerations are the availability nostalgic room, playroom for children and the other facility that make the frequency of their families, visiting more often.

Abstract:

To understand the mechanical behavior of the concrete structures, one must analyze deformation and fracture of the interfaces between the constituents of the material that the structure is made of. Criteria for predicting the crack growth along an interface, based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics concept, applied for the cement substrate/aggregate interface, are presented in this paper. The two possible directions of the interfacial crack growth – the crack propagation along the interface and the crack kinking away from the interface are considered, with the corresponding energy release rates. For the case of the crack approaching the interface from one of the materials – cement, the competition between the crack deflecting into the interface and the crack penetrating the interface is considered with the corresponding energy release rates.
