Abstract:
In the essay, it carried out the visual analysis of the famous painting by I. Bosch, “Cure of Folly (Stone Operation),” which deals with the allegory of surgical cure for mental disorders. The literal embodiment of the metaphor and paths of insanity of both the patient and the quack doctor are included in the wide tradition of the early renaissance. The author follows the method of sequential analysis of visual images from a dense description of the visual series to the reconstruction of the meanings of the symbolic order and socio-cultural interpretation. The image of genre scene with the doctor, the patient and observers is structured through a rounded tondo method and combined with a textual frame in the style of the Gothic fracture, which refers to the client’s personal heraldic coat of arms. The bricolage of allegorical words and images complements each other and creates an intertextual space of meaning, to which semantic incongruity becomes a vehicle — flowers instead of expected stones. The hermeneutic tradition that has developed around the work of I. Bosch contradictory interpret this scene — from lithotomy by medical historians to a flower as an image of voluptuousness or a flower of wisdom (as a visual allegory of a philosopher's stone, elixir). But, the interpretation of the flower as a heraldic lily becomes more appropriate, taking into account the addressee of the picture, the reputation of customers and the rhyme of the formal characteristics of the picture with the style of the coat of arms of the customer. Bosch's painting with its hidden moral message is addressed to influential customers, metaphorically combining the meanings of folly stones and symbols of power.

Abstract:
This work aimed to study the pollination ecology of the tropical weed Triumfetta semitriloba Jacq. (Tiliaceae), in Viçosa, South-eastern Brazil, during the flowering season of 1993 and 1994. Two patches located in pasture (P1 and P2) and one patch in a forest trail (P3) were chosen and ten plants on each patch were sorted. The number of opened flowers were counted during one day, in each flowering month and patch. All observed flower visitors were identified and their behavior while visiting flowers was recorded. Frequency of visits to flowered branches was obtained and some pollinator individuals were captured for analysis of pollen load. Flowers are conspicuously yellow and actinomorphic, with five nectaries around the ovary base, and opened sequentially in the afternoon. Flower phenology followed a modified steady-state Gentry's pattern. The number of opened flowers was higher in P2, but differences between months were not homogeneous between patches. Considering behaviour when collecting pollen or nectar, which permitted impregnation of stigma with pollen, visiting frequency and percent of T. semitriloba pollen on pollen load (100% for all of them, except for Augochlorella michaelis which was 81%) the following species were the mainly pollinators: Augochloropsis cupreola, Augochlorella michaelis, Cressomiella aff. sussurans, Cressomiella sussurans, Cressomiella sp., Pseudocentron paulistana, Ceratinula sp1, Ceratinula sp2 and Ceratinula sp3, Melissodes sexcincta, Apis mellifera, Plebeia cf. nigriceps, Plebeia droryana. Frequency of pollinators visitation was not different between patches and not uniform during anthesis. There was a higher pollinator activity between 15:00 and 17:00 hr.

Abstract:
Date palm is unisexual, being either male or female. Male and female flowers grow on buds called Spathe, which opens naturally when fully mature. It is easy to identify the male and female flowers. Under the method of manual pollination, pollen from a male flower is smeared over female flowers. The pollen variety and pollination time have important effects on date palm fruit set, yield and quality. This experiment was carried out to study the effect of date pollinizer variety and pollination time on fruit set, growth and development of Medjhol date palm variety, in date palm garden of date palm and tropical fruit research institute of Iran during three years from 2009 to 2011. The trail was randomized complete block design in factorial manner with three pollen variety as Ghaname, Vardy, and Samesmave, two pollination time as 1-3 days before or after spathe opening and four replication. The results showed that the Vardy pollen had significant effects and increased the fertility percent and fruit yield, rather than two other pollen varieties. The pollen variety had no significant effects on fruit quality as total sugar, acidity, and bricx. The pollination time before spathe opening significantly increased fertility percent, decreased fruit weight and date palm yield. Finally the pollen variety and pollination time interaction effects showed that, application of Vardy pollen from 1-3 days after spathe opening with the most production date palm yield, equal 19.9 kilogram per any date palm trees, so this treatment is the best and are recommended.

Abstract:
Much has been said about sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) retrotransposons, representing the majority of the sunflower’s repetitive component. By contrast, class II transposons remained poorly described within this species, as they present low sequence conservation and are mostly lacking coding domains, making the identification and characterization of these transposable elements difficult. The transposable element Tetu1, is a non-autonomous CACTA-like element that has been detected in the coding region of a CYCLOIDEA (CYC) gene of a sunflower mutant, tubular ray flower (turf). Based on our knowledge of Tetu1, the publicly available genome of sunflower was fully scanned. A combination of bioinformatics analyses led to the discovery of 707 putative CACTA sequences: 84 elements with complete ends and 623 truncated elements. A detailed characterization of the identified elements allowed further classification into three subgroups of 347 elements on the base of their terminal repeat sequences. Only 39 encode a protein similar to known transposases (TPase), with 10 TPase sequences showing signals of activation. Finally, an analysis of the proximity of CACTA transposons to sunflower genes showed that the majority of CACTA elements are close to the nearest gene, whereas a relevant fraction resides within gene-encoding sequences, likely interfering with sunflower genome functionality and organization.

Abstract:
Although crab spiders are common in flowering plants, their relations with plant species and its floral traits have been poorly known in the Neotropics. Observations regarding plant habits, floral visitors and also floral characteristics such as anthesis, odour, shape, colour and floral resources were recorded in flowering plant species of an area of "Cerrado" on a 2 km long trail. Misumenops argenteus and Misumenops pallens accounted for 62.86% of the spiders captured on 22 flowering plant species. The plants Senna rugosa (Fabaceae), Styrax ferrugineus (Styracaceae) and Banisteriopsis campestris (Malpighiaceae), hosted, each one, about 10 to 17% of the total spiders collected and these plants had diurnal anthesis, bee-attractive flower colours such as yellow (S. rugosa), white (S. ferrugineus), and pink (B. campestris), poricidal anthers as well as being visited by bees which evidenced bee-pollination syndrome. This study is the first survey regarding crab spiders and their associations with plant species of the "Cerrado".

Abstract:
Rafflesia, the biggest flowers in the world are considered as majestic and are made as ecotourism icons for several places in the South East Asia. Currently, a total of 34 species of Rafflesia were recorded in this region. 7 species of Rafflesia are found in Peninsular Malaysia alone. This study was executed in Royal Belum State Park in the state of Perak. An updated on distribution of Rafflesia and its ecology are provided. The Rafflesia population was mapped using Global Positioning System [GPS]. While the size of Rafflesia host-plant was measured with the measuring tape and the amount of rainfall was obtained from the Meteorological Department of Malaysia. During this study, there were 2 species of Rafflesia encountered in Royal Belum State Park, namely Rafflesia cantleyi Solms-Laubach and Rafflesia kerri Meijer. The species were recorded at X-Ray trail, Sg. Gadong, and Sg. Kooi. A total of 8 populations were set up from these locations. It was found that the population and the distribution decreased in accordance with the habitat interruption by human intervention and natural factors such as wildlife trampling on the immature buds. Besides, it was found that the number of Rafflesia buds increases with the class size for host-plant of Rafflesia with coefficients of determination of R2=0.9866. However, various physiological and environmental factors were taken into consideration in efforts of conserving this unique flower. This study is important in order to preserve the population of Rafflesia at Royal Belum State Park.

Abstract:
Zantedeschia aethiopica, the large white calla lily, and Z. `Green Goddess', which is white with a unique green blush on the lip, are two cultivars popular in the floral cut flower trade. Both were treated with gibberellic acid (GA3) for increased flower development, a technique routinely successful for potted calla production but not previously reported effective on cut flowers. Two winter trials in successive years were replicated under Florida growing conditions. A preplant bulb dip of GA3 ranged from 100 to 250 ppm. Z. aethiopica control plants averaged 1.3 flowers per plant, which increased to 3.4 with GA3 in the first trial and from 1.6 to 2.5 in the second trial. `Green Goddess' went from 1.3 to 3.8 flowers per plant and 0.9 to 3.3, respectively. Bonzi was applied at either a short (10.2–12.7 cm) or tall (30.5–38.1 cm) height, with greater effect when shorter. A drench application of 2 mg a.i. per pot shortened foliage more than flower height with 32% reduction on foliage and 12% on flowers for Z. aethiopica and 44% and 33% respectively on `Green Goddess'. Results favor use of GA3 on cut flowers for increased flower production, but discourage Bonzi because shortened heights are normally undesirable for cut flowers.

Abstract:
In angiosperms, the evolution of gender dimorphism is often correlated with the evolution of sexual dimorphism in floral traits. The magnitude of sexual dimorphism will reflect both sex-specific selection and constraints on evolution in response to this selection. If the evolution of sexual dimorphism is constrained by genetic correlations, then trait means are predicted to evolve more quickly than the magnitude of sexual dimorphism in the same traits. To test whether mean floral traits evolve more quickly than sexual dimorphism in these traits, I measured flower size and flower number of gynodioecious Lobelia siphilitica L. from 10–14 populations across the species’ range. Females produced more flowers than hermaphrodites, but neither mean flower number nor the magnitude of dimorphism in flower number varied among populations. Pistillate flowers were smaller than perfect flowers, and mean flower size varied among populations. However, the magnitude of dimorphism in flower size did not vary. My results suggest that the evolution of sexual dimorphism in flower size, but not necessarily flower number, could be constrained by within- or between-sex genetic correlations in L. siphilitica.

Abstract:
Bearded iris (Iris ×hybrida Hort.) is a large horticultural hybrid complex in the Iris genus, and the lack of understanding about its inheritance laws has seriously hindered the breeding process. From parental bearded iris ‘Indian Chief’ and ‘Sugar Blues’, four hybrid populations—including F1, F2, BC1P1, and BC1P2—were generated through hybridization. Fifteen key phenotypic traits, including plant height (PH), scape height (SH), length of fall (LF), width of fall (WF), length of standard (LS), width of standard (WS), and so on, were measured, and several genetic parameters (e.g., trait variation, heritability, trait correlation, distribution of flower color) were analyzed. The variation of phenotypic traits indicated that the F1 generation could produce larger flowers and a greater number of blooming stems than other generations, whereas backcrossing was beneficial at producing more flowers on one scape in the offspring of ‘Indian Chief’ and ‘Sugar Blues’. WF had the greatest broad-sense heritability (73.91%) among the 15 phenotypic traits, whereas the broad-sense heritability of SH was the lowest (2.06%). The correlation between a vegetative trait (PH) and a reproductive trait (WS) provided a path to early selection of germplasm. Furthermore, four important floral traits (LF, WF, LS, and WS) also correlated significantly to each other, thus simplifying the selection of larger flowers. Genes regulating fuchsia flower color were dominant over those for bluish purple flowers. Genetic effects of flower color in recurrent parents could be reinforced by backcrossing, thereby providing a potential way to modify flower color through hybridization.

Abstract:
The cut-flower industry is continually searching for unique products to introduce to the floral industry. Our objective was to select potential species for trial as new greenhouse-grown alternative cut flowers. Hardy perennials from the Rock/Alpine Garden at the Denver Botanical Garden served as the selection pool. Plants in this collection were fitting due to their durability in Colorado conditions and their rugged unique beauty. Several trial cuts of potential species were taken, and the flowers were evaluated for flower size, stem length, stem strength, foliage, vase life, usefulness, and general aesthetic quality. Next, an informal survey of growers, retailers, researchers, and consumers was taken to determine which flowers had already been seen on the market and which flowers would be potentially successful in the trade. After assimilating the information, the following six species were selected for trial future greenhouse production: Anthyllis vulneraria, Dianthus giganteus, Diascia integerrima, Echium lusitanium, Heuchera sanguinea `Bressingham Hybrids', and Trollius yunnanensis.

Abstract:
L'obiettivo di questa tesi è stato effettuare una valutazione preliminare sull'utilizzabilità dei sensori inerziali per la valutazione del movimento fine durante attività di coordinazione manuale. Lo scopo finale è valutare la possibilità di utilizzare parametri quantitativi utilizzati in analisi del movimento per la caratterizzazione della performance dell’arto superiore durante compiti che richiedono abilità grafo-motorie. A questo scopo sono stati selezionati alcuni test che potessero fornire un quadro completo delle funzioni grafo-motorie tra quelli maggiormente utilizzati nella pratica clinica: il test DGMP (per la valutazione del livello di automatizzazione di qualità e di apprendimento della scrittura in corsivo) e i test Cycle Trail e Flower Trail, scelti fra la batteria di Test Movement ABC-2 (per la valutazione di destrezza manuale). Hanno preso parte allo studio undici soggetti adulti giovani sani e quattro bambini con sviluppo tipico. Dopo aver posizionato i sensori inerziali sui polsi è stato richiesto ai soggetti di svolgere i test sopraelencati in diverse condizioni: "migliore" e "veloce", "lenta" e "veloce", mano destra e mano sinistra. Sono stati applicati gli indici (RMS accelerazione, RMS Jerk, MIJerk, IJerk, MSE) al segnale di accelerazione dell’arto che eseguiva l’esercizio ed è stato valutato se gli indici analizzati fossero in grado di distinguere diverse condizioni di esecuzione. Da questo studio preliminare, i parametri utilizzati (RMS accelerazione, RMS Jerk, MIJerk, IJerk, MSE) hanno mostrato una specificità sufficiente nel distinguere le diverse condizione analizzate, supportando quindi sviluppi futuri per l’applicazione dei sensori inerziali per la valutazione oggettiva della coordinazione fine durante attività grafo-motorie.

Abstract:
Sunflower, Helianthus annus L., native of North America, is widely grown for oil, bird feed, and human snacks. More recently, sunflower is gaining acceptance as an ornamental potted plant and as a cut flower in the florist industry. The objectives of the present study were: 1. To evaluate diverse cultivars of sunflower for their performance under field and greenhouse conditions. 2. To explore the potential of sunflower in the local florist industry. 3. To exhibit the diversity of sunflower characteristics to the public. In 2004, studies were conducted during the spring and summer in the field and during fall and winter in the greenhouse. Commercial seed catalogs were used to obtain diverse cultivars. In the field study seeds were sown according to the prescribed spacing and depth in a randomized complete block design. Severe soil crusting necessitated replanting. Plants were observed from emergence to maturity for horticultural traits such as days to first leaf emergence, height of the plant, days to bloom, number of heads, and branching characters. When observed performance was compared with the catalog description, similarities were found for flower color and head diameter; however, differences were found for plant height and days to bloom. Aesthetic characteristics were evaluated in the field and in the laboratory as cut flowers. Preliminary results indicated that ornamental sunflower cultivars performed well in Kentucky even in an unusually wet, cool growing season. Inconsistency between catalog descriptions and observed performance indicates the need for growers to test promising varieties on a small scale before making large investments. In the greenhouse study cultivars produced fewer branches and heads compared to their field performance. Some cultivars failed to produce flowers under greenhouse conditions. Sunflower heads were found to be attractive and pleasing to a wide range of individuals. These preliminary results indicate that ornamental sunflower could become a niche crop in Kentucky agriculture. Sunflower as an ornamental crop could be productive and profitable, provided that market infrastructures are developed.

Ce mémoire est consacré à la mise en œuvre de commandes d'un train de véhicules intelligents sur autoroute ayant pour objectifs principaux de réduire la congestion et d'améliorer la sécurité routière. Après avoir présenté l'état de l'art sur des systèmes de conduite automatisée, des modèles de la dynamique longitudinale et latérale du véhicule sont présentés. Ensuite, des stratégies de contrôle longitudinal et latéral sont étudiées.D'abord, le contrôle longitudinal est conçu pour être hiérarchique avec un contrôleur de niveau supérieur et un contrôleur de niveau inférieur. Pour celui de niveau supérieur, une régulation d'inter-distance SSP (Safety Spacing Policy) est proposée. Nous avons constaté que la SSP peut assurer la stabilité de la chaîne et la stabilité des flux de trafic et augmenter ainsi la capacité de trafic. Puis, pour celui de niveau inférieur, une loi de commande floue coordonnée est proposée pour gérer l'accélérateur et le freinage. Ensuite, une loi de commande multi-modèle floue est conçue pour le contrôle latéral. De plus, pour réaliser des transformations lisses entre les différentes opérations latérales, une architecture de contrôle hiérarchique est proposée. Puis, l'intégration des commandes longitudinale et latérale est étudiée. Enfin, l'estimation des variables d'états du véhicule est discutée. Un filtre de Kalman-Bucy est conçu pour estimer les états du véhicule. En outre, un prototype de véhicule intelligent à échelle réduite est également présenté. Les performances des divers algorithmes de commande proposés ont été testées par simulations, et les résultats ont été confirmés par les premières expériences en utilisant le prototype

A Organização Mundial da Saúde reconhece a importância das práticas integrativas e complementares em saúde e recomenda que estudos sejam realizados para o avanço deste modo de cuidar, como é o caso do ensaio clínico randomizado, uma poderosa ferramenta para avaliação de intervenções na área da saúde. Dentre as práticas, surge a terapia floral como parte de um campo de terapias vibracionais, de características não invasivas, simples e naturais, que atuam curando e harmonizando sem que haja a possibilidade de efeitos colaterais e incompatibilidade com outros tratamentos. Desta forma, o objetivo desse estudo é compreender a experiência do participante de uma pesquisa clínica, que teve como intervenção a terapia floral, para ansiedade de indivíduos com sobrepeso ou obesidade. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, vinculado ao projeto intitulado “Efetividade da terapia floral na ansiedade de adultos com sobrepeso ou obesidade”. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma Instituição Pública de Saúde com 42 indivíduos de ambos os sexos, no período de junho a novembro de 2016. A coleta de dados foi realizada após o término da participação na pesquisa clínica originária, por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada. O referencial teórico que alicerça essa pesquisa são as publicações de Edward Bach. Para organização e análise dos dados qualitativos foi adotado como referencial metodológico a Análise de Conteúdo segundo Bardin, resultando em duas categorias que emergiram dos discursos dos participantes: “Significado da participação na pesquisa clínica” e “Percepção sobre a ação da terapêutica utilizada”. Os resultados deste estudo demonstram a intenção dos participantes na busca por alternativas naturais para auxiliar o controle da ansiedade e obesidade, e mostram que conseguiram atingir o autocontrole na alimentação e nas relações pessoais. Essa busca se consolida principalmente pelo benefício que observaram durante o uso da terapia complementar para si mesmo ou nos indivíduos do seu círculo de relações. Os participantes identificaram na terapia floral autoconhecimento e tranqüilidade, pois passaram a compreender melhor as pequenas alterações que aconteceram com seu corpo, inclusive na qualidade do sono e na compulsão alimentar. O equilíbrio das emoções e sintomas ansiosos relatados demonstra que os participantes foram capazes de enfrentar com sucesso suas decepções passadas que causavam sofrimento, mostrando a efetividade da terapia floral neste contexto. Este estudo contribui para uma melhor perspectiva de participação em estudos clínicos com terapia floral e placebo, pois no reconhecimento de suas possibilidades, a aceitação da terapia floral pela comunidade e profissionais de saúde pode tornar-se facilitada. Além disso, os resultados positivos destes estudos motivam para maior adesão e busca por conhecimento sobre as práticas integrativas e complementares em saúde e direcionam indivíduos e profissionais de saúde a novos caminhos para a melhoria na qualidade de vida dos seres humanos.
The World Health Organization acknowledges the importance of integrative and complementary health practices and recommends that studies are carried out to advance them, using, for example, randomized clinical trials, powerful tool to evaluate health interventions. Among these practices, floral therapy emerges in the field of vibrational therapies, with simple and natural non-invasive characteristics that heals and harmonizes without side-effects or incompatibility to other treatments. Thus, the objective of this study was to understand the experience of overweight or obese anxious individuals in participating of a clinical research trial that used floral therapy as health intervention. This is a qualitative study linked to the project entitled "Effectiveness of floral therapy on anxiety of overweight or obese adults". Forty-two overweight and obese individuals of both sexes were enrolled in this study between June and November of 2016 for a semi-structured interview after termination of the primary clinical trial conducted in an institute of public health. Data collected from interviews were qualitatively organized and analyzed according to Content Analysis from Bardin, separated in two categories that emerged from participants' speeches: “Meaning of participating in a clinical research trial” and “Perception of the action of the therapy used”. Publications from Edward Bach were used as theoretical basis for this study. Results showed that overweight or obese anxious individuals sought natural alternatives to control their anxiety and obesity, and they managed to achieve self-control during meals and in personal relationships, which was mainly strengthened by the benefits observed in their own or in people of their circle of relationships. The participants identified in floral therapy self-knowledge and tranquility, as they could better understand the small changes happening to their bodies, including sleep quality and compulsive feeding behavior. Reported equilibrium in emotions and anxiety indicates that participants were able to successfully face previous disappointments that caused sorrow, in which floral therapy revealed to be effective on. This study contributes to the perspective of participating in clinical research trials involving floral therapy and placebo, once deeper knowledge on floral therapy can facilitate it to be accepted as medical treatment by potential patients and health professionals. In addition, results of this study encourage supporting integrative and complementary health practices, directing patients and health professionals to novel alternatives to improve quality of life.

Abstract:
La circulation de trains à grande vitesse engendre de nombreux phénomènes aérodynamiques dont l'évaluation est nécessaire pour régler certains problèmes de sécurité ou de confort. Dans le cas particulier des croisements, il n'existe pas actuellement d'installation expérimentale appropriée. Par ailleurs, les essais en ligne sont onéreux et difficiles à mettre en œuvre. C’est pourquoi nous avons entrepris une étude numérique destinée à fournir les variations de pression qui apparaissent lors des croisements dans l'hypothèse simplificatrice d'un fluide idéal. Les effets instationnaires sont approchés par une méthode quasi-stationnaire. La méthode des singularités étant, d'après notre étude bibliographique, la mieux adaptée à la résolution de ce problème, nous avons développé un code de calcul, dit code sources, qui permet de déterminer l'écoulement incompressible autour de corps sans modélisation du sillage. Ce code, valide sur plusieurs obstacles de forme simple, a ensuite été applique aux trains en marche isolée et en croisement. Les résultats sont en bon accord avec ceux du LIMSI qui a initié les recherches numériques sur les trains à grande vitesse dans les années 70. Cependant, les vitesses toujours plus élevées impliquent désormais de prendre en considération le caractère subsonique de l'écoulement lors du croisement. De plus, la modélisation du sillage est nécessaire à l'étude des effets portants. Nous avons donc élaboré un autre code de calcul dit code sources-doublets, consacré aux écoulements autour d'obstacles avec prise en compte de la compressibilité de l'air et du sillage. Dans un premier temps, nous avons calculé les répartitions de pression autour d'obstacles largement étudiés dans la littérature, afin de valider la modélisation du sillage. Nous avons enfin évalué l'écoulement autour de deux trains en croisement, avec prise en compte de la compressibilité du fluide suivant la loi de Gothert. Nous avons ainsi estimé les efforts élémentaires et globaux s'exerçant sur les deux trains pour des configurations différentes. Les répartitions de pression obtenues serviront de base à l'étude des effets de fluide réel.

Abstract:
AbstractTumor-treating fields (TTFields) is an antimitotic cancer treatment technique used for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and malignant pleural mesothelioma. Although the frequency used is not as high as in hyperthermia, temperature increases due to the Joule effect might be meaningful given the necessary time that these fields should be applied for. Post hoc analysis of the EF-11 clinical trial showed higher median overall survival in patients whose compliance was at least 18 h per day. To quantify these temperature increases and predict the thermal impact of TTFields delivery to the head, we used a realistic model created from MR images segmented in five tissues: scalp, skull, CSF, gray matter (GM), and white matter (WM). Through COMSOL Multiphysics, we solved Laplace’s equation for the electric field and Pennes’ equation for the temperature distribution. To mimic the therapy as realistically as possible, we also considered complete current shutdown whenever any transducer reached 41 °C to allow transducers and tissues’ temperature to decrease. Our results indicate an intermittent operation of Optune due to this necessary current shutdown. Localized temperature increases were seen, especially underneath the regions where the transducers were placed. Maximum temperature values were around 41.5 °C on the scalp and 38 °C on the brain. According to the literature, significant thermal impact is only predicted for the brain where the rise in temperature may lead to an increased BBB permeability and variation in the blood flow and neurotransmitter concentration. Additionally, our results showed that if the injected current is reduced by around 25% compared to Optune’s standard way of operating, then uninterrupted treatment might be attainable. These predictions might be used to improve TTFields delivery in real patients and to increase awareness regarding possible thermal effects not yet reported elsewhere.

Abstract:
The ice sea trial measurement in Chukchi Sea using research vessel Araon was performed on July 2010. It was the first voyage to the Arctic Sea. The latitude of the route was between 73 degree north to 80 degree north. Araon is the first Korean Ice breaking research vessel. The principle dimension is 110m length, 19m beam and 7.3m draft. Araon was designed to break 1.0m level ice of 630 kPa flexible ice strength. Four attempts to know the performance of the ship in Arctic region were carried out and the results were summarized in this paper. The basic datum for the sea trial such as ship speed, power of engine, wind speed, location of the ship, air temperature, drafts, heading of the ship etc., were measured during the trail in every second by the video recording. Simultaneously the ice information such as ice thickness, compressive strength, temperature of ice, snow depth, free board of ice floe were measured in each field by the coring tool, auger and compression test equipment. The ice sea trial was performed in large ice floes rather than level ice because the sea ice condition on July and August in Chukchi Sea has no uniform level ice and starts to melt. The size of four ice floes is about 100m to 300m length and 100m to 200m wide beam. It was some second year ice and most of first year ice floes. The mean flexible strength of ice was less than 250 kPa. The analysis result of the ice sea trial shows the relation between the ice thickness, ice strength, ship speed and power of engine. Araon is possible to operate at 1.5 knots in 2.5m ice thickness with 5 MW engine power when the strength of ice floe is 250 kPa. The speed reaches 3.1 knots at same ice condition if the power is increasing up to 6.6 MW. She has good performance compare to the design target (3 knots in 1.0m level ice and 630 kPa of flexible strength) but it’s come from the different ice types and low flexible ice strength. The more detail analysis result was discussed in this paper.

In ASME 2003 International Electronic Packaging Technical Conference and Exhibition. ASMEDC, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/ipack2003-35171.

Full text
Abstract:
A technique is presented which allows a data center designer or operator to achieve any desired partitioning of available airflow among the floor tiles of a raised-floor data center without resorting to trial-and-error. The output from the analysis is a tile-by-tile prescription of flow resistance characteristics (e.g., damper settings), which accomplishes the desired partitioning. The technique is derived from an electrical-circuit analogy of the airflow in the data. Each circuit branch represents one path that air may follow from the CRAC unit supply, through a particular floor tile, and ultimately back to the CRAC return. Any desired flow partitioning through tiles can be achieved by proper adjustment of tile resistances in each circuit; however, by itself, the flow network has too many unknowns to be solvable. A CFD simulation of the entire data center, in which the desired flow partitioning is specified, provides the pressure distribution above (in the room) and below (in the plenum) the floor tiles. The method is illustrated in step-by-step fashion with a simple example case.

Abstract:
Semi-submersible type offshore floating structures are expected to be used in the Japanese coastal area and at sea off Japan for promoting resource exploitation and development in near future. As a moored offshore floating structure may be suffered from current, Vortex-induced Motion (VIM) effect should be assessed in an appropriate manner since the VIM may cause fatigue damage of the floating structure’s mooring lines. VIM phenomenon on semi-submersible type floating structures, however, is not clear, and its comprehension is insufficient since there are only small number of open research papers with lack specifications of the structures. Moreover, a standardized assessment method for the VIM on them has not ever been proposed. At first in this paper, the results of VIM measurement test using some large semi-submersible floating structure models in relatively high Reynolds number flow are presented, and afterwards simplified estimation method, that is useful in the design stage for a semi-submersible type offshore floating structure, is introduced as one trial.

Full text
Abstract:
The need to extend train lengths has been a primary business target of the railway industry, due to its obvious benefits. However, winter train operating conditions, excessive in-train slack action, deterioration of air brake signal propagation and the added stress on infrastructure and equipment has naturally kept the average train lengths at bay. The introduction of advanced equipment, new concepts and strategies have now enabled Canadian Pacific to change this mindset. Long Train make up is now very possible, taking into account the Distributed Power configuration. Making a very long train resemble a series of short trains coupled together, each with its own locomotives, synchronously connected to the Lead unit’s commands, makes such trains very safe and efficient. Extensive Field Testing and Train Simulation work done over the last two years at CP has shown that with the use of Multiple Remote Locomotive set-up, it is in fact very possible to safely contemplate extending the limits of today’s maximum allowed 60 CFM of total train air flow, into uncharted territory, possibly approaching a total of 90 CFM. CP has pursued to implement on a permanent basis, operating instructions that would permit Multiple Distributed Power trains to depart from a train brake test location with combined air flow of up to 90 CFM, provided the flow at each DP locomotive consist is not greater than 60 CFM and train length sections between locomotives are not exceeded. This paper investigates the operation of Distributed Power trains at higher levels of air flow and, through detail field testing and evaluation techniques, substantiates the validity of extending the safety limits of train leakage and gradient for such trains.

Full text
Abstract:
On March 23, 2006, a full-scale test was conducted on a passenger rail train retrofitted with newly developed cab end and non-cab end crush zone designs. This test was conducted as part of a larger testing program to establish the degree of enhanced performance of alternative design strategies for passenger rail crashworthiness. The alternative design strategy is referred to as crash energy management (CEM), where the collision energy is absorbed in defined unoccupied locations throughout the train in a controlled progressive manner. By controlling the deformations at critical locations the CEM train is able to protect against two dangerous modes of deformation: override and large-scale lateral buckling. The CEM train impacted a standing locomotive-led train of equal mass at 31 mph on tangent track. The interactions at the colliding in Interface and between coupled interfaces performed as expected. Crush was pushed back to subsequent crush zones and the moving passenger train remained in-line and upright on the tracks with minimal vertical and lateral motions. The added complexity associated with this test over previous full-scale tests of the CEM design was the need to control the interactions at the colliding interface. between the two very different engaging geometries. The cab end crush zone performed as intended because the locomotive coupler pushed underneath the cab car buffer beam, and the deformable anti-climber engaged the uneven geometry of the locomotive anti-climber and short hood. Space was preserved for the operator as the cab end crush zone collapsed. The coupled interfaces performed as predicted by the analysis and previous testing. The conventional interlocking anti-climbers engaged after the pushback couplers triggered and absorbed the prescribed amount of energy. Load was transferred through the integrated end frame, and progressive controlled collapsed was contained to the energy absorbers at the roof and floor level. The results of this full-scale test have clearly demonstrated the significant enhancement in safety for passengers and crew members involved in a push mode collision with a standing locomotive train.

Full text
Abstract:
Oil storage tanks are crucial components in the petrochemical industry for transportation and storage. Corrosion of the tank floor and vertical walls is one of the most important safety concerns. In-situ inspection of the tank floor and walls with ultrasonic guided wave technique by edge- and wall-mounted transducers is still an active research area nowadays. A great deal of research has been conducted in detecting the defect of plate-like structures using Lamb waves. This application has been motivated by the fact that the Lamb wave velocity is the function of frequency and structural geometry (thickness), also the Lamb waves can propagate with low attenuation for long distance in plate structure. However, the complexity due to the existence of multiple Lamb wave modes weakens its applicability. Lamb waves are typically excited by transducers mounted on the surface of the inspected plates. Higher order modes are generated if the frequency-thickness product exceeds a certain threshold value that is dependent on the material of the plates. Low frequency guided waves can reduce this complication as only a small number of wave modes are generated. So operation with low frequency guided waves is usually recommended, but it encounters a problem that the resolution gets degraded hence small defects (compared to the wavelength) are difficult to detect. Our investigation considers the generation of guided waves in tank floor and vertical wall by edge excitation and wall-mounted excitation, respectively. Only when there is no access to the edge of the vertical wall, the wall-mounted excitation (surface excitation) is used. When the frequency-thickness product is small Lamb waves are generated, otherwise, longitudinal waves are generated. We investigate the intermediate frequency-thickness products where a pulse train of semi-longitudinal waves is excited. The pulse train is comprised of a leading pulse and some railing pulses, which have been predicted by the acoustic theory. The transition from Lamb wave to semi-longitudinal wave is investigated. In addition, energy transport from leading pulse to trailing pulses and the interaction of these trailing pulses with defects are studied. The results revealed that the semi-longitudinal wave is a viable option for tank floor and wall defect inspection.

Full text
Abstract:
The Southeast Coast Network (SECN) Wadeable Stream Habitat Monitoring Protocol collects data to give park resource managers insight into the status of and trends in stream and near-channel habitat conditions (McDonald et al. 2018a). Wadeable stream monitoring is currently implemented at the five SECN inland parks with wadeable streams. These parks include Horseshoe Bend National Military Park (HOBE), Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (KEMO), Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park (OCMU), Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CHAT), and Congaree National Park (CONG). Streams at Congaree National Park chosen for monitoring were specifically targeted for management interest (e.g., upstream development and land use change, visitor use of streams as canoe trails, and potential social walking trail erosion) or to provide a context for similar-sized stream(s) within the park or network (McDonald and Starkey 2018a). The objectives of the SECN wadeable stream habitat monitoring protocol are to: Determine status of upstream watershed characteristics (basin morphology) and trends in land cover that may affect stream habitat, Determine the status of and trends in benthic and near-channel habitat in selected wadeable stream reaches (e.g., bed sediment, geomorphic channel units, and large woody debris), Determine the status of and trends in cross-sectional morphology, longitudinal gradient, and sinuosity of selected wadeable stream reaches. Between June 11 and 14, 2018, data were collected at Congaree National Park to characterize the in-stream and near-channel habitat within stream reaches on Cedar Creek (CONG001, CONG002, and CONG003) and McKenzie Creek (CONG004). These data, along with the analysis of remotely sensed geographic information system (GIS) data, are presented in this report to describe and compare the watershed-, reach-, and transect-scale characteristics of these four stream reaches to each other and to selected similar-sized stream reaches at Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. Surveyed stream reaches at Congaree NP were compared to those previously surveyed in other parks in order to provide regional context and aid in interpretation of results. edar Creek’s watershed (CONG001, CONG002, and CONG003) drains nearly 200 square kilometers (77.22 square miles [mi2]) of the Congaree River Valley Terrace complex and upper Coastal Plain to the north of the park (Shelley 2007a, 2007b). Cedar Creek’s watershed has low slope and is covered mainly by forests and grasslands. Cedar Creek is designated an “Outstanding Resource Water” by the state of South Carolina (S.C. Code Regs. 61–68 [2014] and S.C. Code Regs. 61–69 [2012]) from the boundary of the park downstream to Wise Lake. Cedar Creek ‘upstream’ (CONG001) is located just downstream (south) of the park’s Bannister Bridge canoe landing, which is located off Old Bluff Road and south of the confluence with Meyers Creek. Cedar Creek ‘middle’ and Cedar Creek ‘downstream’ (CONG002 and CONG003, respectively) are located downstream of Cedar Creek ‘upstream’ where Cedar Creek flows into the relatively flat backswamp of the Congaree River flood plain. Based on the geomorphic and land cover characteristics of the watershed, monitored reaches on Cedar Creek are likely to flood often and drain slowly. Flooding is more likely at Cedar Creek ‘middle’ and Cedar Creek ‘downstream’ than at Cedar Creek ‘upstream.’ This is due to the higher (relative to CONG001) connectivity between the channels of the lower reaches and their out-of-channel areas. Based on bed sediment characteristics, the heterogeneity of geomorphic channel units (GCUs) within each reach, and the abundance of large woody debris (LWD), in-stream habitat within each of the surveyed reaches on Cedar Creek (CONG001–003) was classified as ‘fair to good.’ Although, there is extensive evidence of animal activity...
