Full textAbstract:
This article tackles the historical basis and development of the issue of anti-Semitism and examines its perception and impact in the Arab world. The author argues persuasively that anti-Semitism is specific to European racism against Jews. He does not attempt to deflect the term by arguing, as some have done, that Arabs are a Semitic people, but rather unequivocally condemns anti-Semitism and racism of any sort. The author debunks major myths or misconceptions about anti-Semitism and deals frankly with questions of its political utility with regard to Zionism, Israel and Palestine. In the present day, Holocaust denial is unconscionable and, in the end, is not only morally unacceptable, but in the words of the author ‘just plain stupid’. The author castigates Arab and Muslim groups which may take such a stance, arguing that the correct response and Arab reaction to the Holocaust was the simple, straightforward and rational one – a European tragedy, but not one for which the Arabs should assume responsibility.

The experiment assessed the effects of two film sequences, a pleasant documentary and a distressful scene, on electrogastrographic (EGG), electromyographic (EMG), and heart-rate responses during digestion by 30 healthy students. The physiological measures were recorded before and during the projection of each film sequence. At the end of each viewing period, subjects completed a self-rating questionnaire on the emotional experience. Analysis yielded a significant increase in heart-rate and EMG values during the viewing of the film sequences and a significant decrease in amplitude of the 3 cycles per minute (cpm) wave of EGG during the unpleasant film. The type of film sequence had also a statistically significant effect on the self-ratings of emotional states.

Cilj istraživanja je bio ustvrditi standardne vrijednosti za frekvenciju srčnog rada i učestalost srčanog aritmija u hrvatskog posavca i lipicanca. U istraživanje su bila uključena 82 zdrava konja, različitog spola i dobi, 32 lipicanca i 50 posavaca. Svim je konjima u baznovršnom odvodu snimljen EKG u trajanju od 5 minuta. Iz snimljenog elektrokardiograma je određena srčana frekvencija, ritam i tip eventualne aritmije. Ustvrđena srednja vrijednost frekvencije (±SD) za sve konje uključene u istraživanje je 52,9 (±12,7) otkucaja u minuti, što je znatno više od bilo koje od objavljenih vrijednosti za konje do sada. Ustvrđena je učestalost aritmija od 2,4 %. Visoka frekvencija i niska učestalost srčanih artimija mogu biti pasminska karakteristika, ali mišljenja smo da su ove vrijednosti posljedica neprikladnosti primjene ambulantne elektrokardiografije u konja. Smatramo da je za istraživanje elektrokardiografskih karakteristika konja uvijek potrebno životinjama snimiti 24 satni Holter EKG u uobičajenim uvjetima držanja.

As a result of the recession in Saudi Arabia, the manufacturing companies start thinking to reduce the operational cost and increasing the productivity through lean manufacturing principles. This paper is focused on increasing the productivity of a paint manufacturing company through implementing some of the lean manufacturing techniques. First, Value stream mapping analysis carried on throughout the manufacturing process and the areas of improvements in the company has been identified using fishbone diagram. Second, Work Place Organization (5S), Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED), Work Standardization and Kanban are the lean manufacturing techniques selected to solve different problems facing the company in these areas of improvements. A systematic approach of each technique implemented to measure its effect on the company productivity. It is observed that, applying (5S) and (SMED) techniques in the filling process decreased the changeover time by 59% and increased the daily productivity. Pareto chart recommended using work standardization in the charging process led to reduce the defects batches by 57%. Kanban system eliminated the shortages of semi-finish product and increased the output of the pre-weighing batches by 57%. In addition, overtime hours reduced by 77% and waste handling reduced by 85% and 53% for the non-hazardous and hazardous waste respectively

Full textAbstract:
The applicability of the audiocartridge system to simultaneous measurements of the ballistic movements from multiple points of the egg was examined in late chick embryos. Despite direct contact between the cartridges and the egg, minute movements of the egg attributable to cardiac contractions of the embryo (ballistocardiogram, BCG) could be simultaneously detected from at least three points. The results showed that the amplitude of BCG waves was dependent on the site of detection, indicating that the BCG was a directional wave. The cartridge system for BCG measurement was incorporated in the electrocardiography and arterial catheterization to acquire simultaneously electrocardiogram (ECG), BCG, and blood pressure from the embryo confined in the egg. Isochronal comparison of these waves indicated that the ballistic movements of the embryo might be caused not only by the ventricular contraction but also by the atrial excitation, i.e., the BCG comprised waves appearing in the ventricular presystolic, contraction, and ejection periods. For wide changes in the heart rate, the approximate isometric ventricular contraction period remained almost constant.

Resumo: Biometria refere-se ao uso de características físicas (impressões digitais, íris, retina) ou comportamentais (assinatura, voz) para a identificação humana. As impressões digitais são formadas por cristas e minúcias. As cristas são linhas distribuídas paralelamente com uma orientação e um espaçamento característico e as minúcias representam os vários modos pelos quais uma crista pode se tornar descontínua. Graças a sua universalidade, unicidade e permanência, as impressões digitais tornaram-se as características biométricas mais amplamente utilizadas. Entretanto, considerar o reconhecimento automático de impressões digitais um problema totalmente resolvido é um erro muito comum. Nenhum sistema de reconhecimento de impressões digitais proposto até hoje é infalível, nenhum garante taxas de erro nulas. Imagens de baixa qualidade e com pequena área de sobreposição entre a imagem template e a imagem de consulta ainda representam um desafio para os métodos de reconhecimento de impressões digitais mais utilizados, os métodos baseados no casamento de pontos de minúcias. Uma das maneiras de superar as limitações e melhorar a acurácia de um sistema biométrico é o uso da multibiometria, isto é, a combinação de diferentes tipos de informação em um sistema de reconhecimento biométrico. Neste contexto, esta dissertação de mestrado objetiva aprimorar a acurácia dos sistemas de reconhecimento de impressões digitais por meio da fusão de métodos baseados em minúcias e em cristas. Para tanto, foram implementadas técnicas de fusão no nível de pontuação, classificação e decisão. No nível de pontuação, a fusão propiciou uma redução na taxa de erro igual (EER) de 42,53% em relação ao método mais preciso. Para o nível de classificação, a fusão significou um aumento de 75% na taxa de recuperação correta... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: Biometrics refers to the use of physical (fingerprints, iris, retina) or behavioral (signature, voice) characteristics to determine the identity of a person. Fingerprints are formed by ridges and minutiae. The ridges are lines distributed in parallel with an orientation and a characteristic spacing and the minutiae represent the several ways a ridge can become discontinued. As to its universality, uniqueness and permanence, the fingerprints became the most widely used biometric characteristic. However, it is a common mistake to consider the automatic fingerprint recognition as a totally solved problem. No fingerprint recognition system proposed until now is infallible, none of them guarantee null error rates. Poor quality images and when just a small area of overlap between the template and the query images exists are still a complex challenge to the most used fingerprint recognition methods, the methods based on minutiae points matching. One of the possibilities to overcome the limitations and improve the accuracy of a biometric system is the use of multibiometrics, the combination of different kinds of information in a biometric system. In this context, this master thesis aims to improve the accuracy of fingerprint recognition systems through the fusion of minutiae based and ridge based methods. To achieve this, fusion techniques on score, rank and decision levels were implemented. For the score level, the fusion lead to a reduction of the Equal Error Rate to 42.53% compared to the most precise method. For the rank level, the fusion meant an increase of 75% in the Correct Retrieval Rate. And, in the decision level fusion the Recognition Rate changed from 99.25% to 99.75%. The results have demonstrated that the fusion of minutiae based and ridge based methods can represent a significant accuracy improvement for the fingerprint recognition systems.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as características biológicas e taxa de predação de Orius insidiosus tendo como presa ninfas de terceiro/quarto estádio de Aphis gossypii sobre as variedades de algodoeiro transgênica NuOPAL (Bollgard I Evento 531) e convencional Buriti. Para avaliar a duração e a sobrevivência de cada estádio ninfal e as características reprodutivas de fêmeas e longevidade dos adultos foram individualizadas 60 ninfas recém-eclodidas em placas de Petri contendo um pedaço de algodão (aproximadamente 1 cm2) umedecido com água destilada, um pedaço de papel sulfite branco (0,5 cm2) para servir como refúgio e pulgões A. gossypii de terceiro/quarto instar como presas. Para estudar o comportamento de predação, fêmeas de O. insidiosus com idade entre 12-24h foram individualizadas em placas de Petri. Os testes foram conduzidos empregando-se as densidades de 2, 4, 8, 16 e 32 ninfas de A. gossypii para cada variedade de algodão. O período e a viabilidade ninfal de O. insidiosus foram semelhantes nas duas variedades. O número de ovos por fêmeas, viabilidade de ovos, longevidade de macho e fêmeas foram semelhantes nas duas variedades. O tempo de manipulação (h) e a taxa de ataque (h-1) foram respectivamente de 0,0697 (h) e 1, 1862 ( h-1) para a variedade Buriti e 0,0713 (h) e 0,3030 h-1 para NuOPAL. As variedades Buriti e NuOPAL não afetaram as características biológicas do período ninfal de O. insidiosus alimentado com A. gossypii porém prejudica significativamente o potencial reprodutivo do predador. Na variedade Buriti O. insidiosus apresenta maior taxa de ataque. O número médio de presas consumidas por O.insidisous é semelhante nas variedades Buriti e NuOPAL em 24 horas e nas maiores densidades. A. gossypii não é substrato ideal para O. insidiosusAbstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological characteristics and predation rate of Orius insidiosus using third and fourth instar Aphis gossypii as prey on transgenic cotton variety NuOPAL (Bollgard I Event 531) and conventional variety Buriti. To evaluate the duration and survival of each nymphal stage and the reproductive characteristics of females and longevity of adults were individually newly hatched nymphs 60 in Petri dishes containing a piece of cotton (approximately 1 cm 2) moistened with distilled water, a piece of paper white bond (0.5 cm2) to serve as a refuge and aphids A. gossypii third / fourth instar as prey. To study the behavior of predatory, females of O. insidiosus aged between 12-24h were isolated in Petri dishes. The tests were conducted using the densities of 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 nymphs of A. gossypii for each variety of cotton. The period and nymphal O. insidiosus were similar in both variety. The number of eggs per female, egg viability, longevity of males and females were similar in both varieties. The handling time (h) and attack rate (h-1) were respectively 0.0697 (h) and 1, 1862 (h-1) for a variety Buriti and 0.0713 (h) and 0.3030 (h-1) for NUOPAL. Variety Buriti and NuOPAL did not affect the biological characteristics of nymphal O. insidiosus fed A. gossypii but significantly affect the reproductive potential of predador. In the variety Buriti O. insidiosus has a higher attack rate. The type of functional response shown by females of the predator was type II in both varieties. The average number of prey consumed by O.insidisous is similar in varieties Buriti and NuOPAL in 24 hours and at higher densities. A. gossypii is not ideal substrate for O. insidiosus

Abstract: In the search for preventive and curative means for periodontal disease and tooth decay, herbal-purpose fungicide, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory have been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity using the essential oils of Cymbopogon citratus (D.C.) Stapf, Curcuma zedoaria Roscoe and Tagetes minuta L. on strains of Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus mutans and Candida spp. in planktonic and biofilm growth. For the study of microorganisms in planktonic growth, were determined Minimum Inhibitory Concentration and Minimum Microbicidal Concentration of nine clinical strains and one ATCC for each species: C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, S. aureus, S. epidermidis and S. mutans. To assess the effects of essential oils in biofilm, was used strains of Candida albicans (ATCC 18804), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 35688) alone and in associations in acrylic resin discs immersed in sterile brain heart infusion broth (BHI) containing 5% sucrose, inoculated with microbial suspension and incubated for 5 days. On the fifth day, the discs were washed in sterile saline solution in order to remove loosely bound material. Next, the acrylic resin discs were washed and placed in contact with essential oils for 5 min. The number of CFU obtained in each biofilm (CFU/mL) were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis using Minitab software considering with significance level p ≤ 0.05. It was also performed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) acrylic resin disc with biofilm with treatment and control. It was identified significant reductions in the number of colony forming units (CFU/mL) in both planktonic and biofilm associated. The largest reductions occurred in the treatment of essential oil of C. citratus, followed by oil of T. minuta and C. zedoaria. We conclude that the essential oils of Cymbopogon citratus...

Full textAbstract:
Electrogastrograms (EGGs) are recorded by placing electrocardiogram (ECG)-type electrodes on the surface of the epigastrium. The EGG is one of several biological signals that can be recorded from the electrodes on the epigastrium. Some of these signals, like the EGG, are much stronger than the EGG. The EGG signal is relatively low amplitude, ranging from approximately 100 to 500 (μV. Thus, the EGG signal must be properly amplified and filtered for quality recordings. To reduce baseline drift and to remove unwanted cardiac and respiratory signals, a 0.016-Hz high-pass filter and a 0.25-Hz low-pass filter are used. These filters create a bandpass, or window, from approximately 1 cycle per minute (cpm) to 15cpm through which the desired gastric myoelectrical signals pass during the EGG recording. In this chapter, the equipment needed to record the EGG, the EGG recording procedure, and how to identify and reduce artifacts in EGG recordings are discussed. For additional information on the acquisition and analysis of EGG data, the reader is referred to several reviews and texts. High-quality, fresh, disposable electrodes such as those used for electrocardiogram (EGG) recording are recommended. To minimize artifacts in the EGG recording caused by electrode movement on the skin, it is best to use electrodes that adhere very well to the skin (e.g., Cleartrace; ConMed Corp., Utica, NY; or BioTac; Graphic Controls, Inc., Buffalo, NY). Reusable silver/silver chloride electrodes are available (e.g., 1081 Biode; UFI, Morro Bay, CA). The size of the electrode surface is not important, but the electrical stability of the electrode is important. The electrodes should show little bias or offset potential because the EGG signal is relatively low amplitude and low frequency. A high-quality recording system is needed to amplify and process the 100 to 500-μV EGG signal that ranges from 1.0 to 15.0 cpm. Some older physiological polygraphs have appropriate amplifiers and filters that can be used to record the EGG. Several medical device companies produce complete EGG recording and analysis systems that include appropriate amplifiers and filters with analog-to-digital boards that digitize the EGG signal for analysis with software (e.g., 3CPM Company, Crystal Bay, NV; Medtronic, Shoreview, MN).

"Bradygastrias and Mixed Dysrhythmias." In Handbook of Electrogastrography, edited by Kenneth L. Koch and Robert M. Stern. Oxford University Press, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780195147889.003.0012.
Full textAbstract:
Bradygastrias are low-frequency electrogastrogram (EGG) waves that range from approximately 1.0 to 2.5 cycles per minute (cpm) . Some bradygastria waves are high amplitude and occupy the full scale of the EGG recording channel; others are very low amplitude and appear to be almost flatline. Bradygastrias have been recorded in patients with functional dyspepsia, diabetic and idiopathic gastropathy, and nausea of pregnancy. These patients have symptoms of abdominal discomfort, fullness, nausea, and vomiting. In this chapter, the causes of bradygastria patterns are reviewed and examples of bradygastrias are shown. EGGs also may have increased bradygastria and tachygastria waves, a pattern termed a mixed dysrhythmia. The exact origin of bradygastrias has been difficult to determine. In certain circumstances, the antrum contracts at 1.5 to 1.8 contractions per minute rather than the more recognized 3-per-minute contractions. Figure 8.1 indicates the relationship between EGG waves and low-frequency antral peristaltic contractions recorded from an intraluminal pressure sensing device during fasting and after infusion of erythromycin in healthy individuals. The antral contractions were recorded 3 and 1.5 cm from the pylorus. During fasting, 2-cpm EGG waves were present and correlated with 2-per-minute antral contractions. Each of these low-frequency contractions was associated with a low-frequency EGG wave (a negative deflection followed by a positive deflection). Irregular antral attractions also occur during fasting and may be reflected in the EGG as 1- to 2-cpm EGG waves. After erythromycin infusion, the EGG waves occurred at 1.0 to 1.5cpm and correlated with stronger antral contractions that occurred at the same frequency: 1.0 to 1.5 per minute. Thus, the bradygastria EGG frequencies correlated with the low-frequency antral contractions during fasting and after infusion of erythromycin. These studies indicate that, under certain conditions, bradygastria waves reflect low-frequency antral contractions. The fundus of the stomach normally contracts slowly at a rate from 0.5 to 1 contraction per minute.15 Thus, the low-frequency contractile activity of the fundus may also be reflected in the low frequency EGG signals in certain situations.

In What’s So Special About the 50 Minute Hour? the authors uncover the pragmatic reasons behind the 50-minute session. But this standardized process of client care is fairly unique to the helping professions. Therapists lack the flexibility to end a session premature or extend a session if needed. Insurance companies also standardize the process, providing billing increments based on time. Research on the optimal session time did not yield conclusive findings that there is any benefit of a 50-minutes session over various time increments. The pragmatics reasons of billing and time management tend to be influential factors to the longevity of the 50-minute session standard.

Neuronal communication in the brain is associated with minute electrical currents that give rise to both electrical potentials on the scalp (measurable by means of electroencephalography [EEG]) and magnetic fields outside the head (measurable by magnetoencephalography [MEG]). Both MEG and EEG are noninvasive neurophysiological methods used to study brain dynamics, that is temporal changes in the activation patterns, and sequences in signal progression. Differences between MEG and EEG mainly reflect differences in the spread of electric and magnetic fields generated by the same electric currents in the human brain. This chapter provides an overall description of the main principles of MEG and EEG and provides background for the following chapters in this and subsequent sections.

The chapter The Ellestad Protocol reviews the performance of a maximal exercise test from start to finish using the Ellestad protocol as an example. Patient preparation should include caffeine avoidance should a vasodilator myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) test be necessary secondary to inadequate exercise. A light meal prior to exercise testing is acceptable. The Bruce and Ellestad protocols both begin with a stage each investigator regarded as a warm-up, 3 minutes of exercise at 1.7 mph at a 10% grade. With two minute stages, primarily of increasing grade, the Ellestad protocol is completed approximately one minute earlier than the Bruce protocol. The use of the Borg scale of perceived exertion is helpful in determining a patient’s effort. If ancillary MPI is not being performed, an abrupt stop for a motion-free electrocardiogram (ECG) and then immediately placing the patient supine or semi-supine increases pre-load and, via the law of Laplace, increases left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, myocardial oxygen demand and thus ischemia. ST segment depression is observed earlier in recovery than if a cool-down walk is performed. Case examples are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Significant changes in information technology (IT), the Internet, and e-business technology have increased the need for continuous and agile data access, in particular for mission-critical applications. Modern business computing has evolved into an organizational engine that drives business and provides a powerful source for competitive advantage. IT has been integrated into organizational operations and activities in a way that application downtime is not an option since each hour, even minute of downtime may generate negative financial effects. In order to achieve higher levels of competitiveness, business has to be continuous from data availability perspective and agile with regard to data access. An enterprise information system (EIS) can be qualified as “high-quality” in terms of its architecture, application platform, and information it can provide to users but if that information is unavailable when it is needed by customer, manager, or any other end user, the value of that EIS simply becomes “zeroed” from end-users’ point of view. The chapter presents a framework for implementation of continuous computing technologies for improving business continuity. The framework is presented within a systemic view of developing an “always-on” enterprise information system.

This chapter shows how the intraday allocation and pricing of overnight loans of federal funds reflect the over-the-counter interbank market in which these loans are traded. It provides estimates of how the likelihood that some bank i borrows from some other bank j during a particular minute t of a business day, as well as the interest rate on the loan, depend on the prior trading relationship between these two banks, the extents to which their balances at the beginning of minute t are above or below their normal respective balances for that time of day, their overall levels of trading activities, the amount of time left until their end-of-day balances are monitored for reserve-requirement purposes, and the volatility of the federal funds rate in the trailing 30 minutes.

Full textAbstract:
The communication skills and ethics station aims to assess your ability to guide and organize an interview with a patient, relative or surrogate (such as a healthcare worker). The skills specifically tested in this station include: • Clinical communication skills • Managing patients’ concerns • Clinical judgement (including knowledge of ethics and law) • Managing patient welfare. Written instructions are provided for the scenario during the 5-minute interval before the station starts. 14 minutes are allowed for the patient interaction, followed by 1 minute for the candidate to reflect their thoughts. A 5-minute discussion with the 2 examiners will then take place after the patient has left the station. Each examiner has a structured marksheet for the case. • Approach the station as a 2-way discussion rather than a rigid ‘tick-box task’. • Set aside time each week to practise scenarios with colleagues under timed conditions. • Familiarize yourself with recent NICE guidance (especially with new or controversial or rationed treatments) and DVLA advice. • Remember that skills needed in this station are also particularly applicable to those required in station 2 (history taking) and station 5 (brief clinical consultations), and it is therefore essential that you spend adequate time practising these skills to maximize your performance in the examination. • Identify key issues that need to be addressed during the consultation (e.g. breaking bad news) as well as ‘hidden clues’ (e.g. a single parent may have concerns regarding childcare if she herself is admitted to hospital). • Make notes during this time, but avoid the temptation to make notes during the consultation itself, as it distracts from the flow of the discussion. • Start with open-ended questions and establish the patient’s understanding, knowledge and concerns at an early stage – these are all specifically mentioned in the clinical marksheet. • Use ‘2-way acting’ where appropriate – you can improvise within reason to aid the flow and realism of the consultation (e.g. ‘Are you feeling better since I saw you on the ward last week?’).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter summarizes Turing’s principal achievements at Bletchley Park and assesses his impact on the course of the Second World War. On the first day of the war, at the beginning of September 1939, Turing took up residence at Bletchley Park, the ugly Victorian mansion in Buckinghamshire that served as the wartime HQ of Britain’s military codebreakers (Fig. 9.1). There Turing was a key player in the battle to decrypt the coded messages generated by Enigma, the German forces’ typewriter-like cipher machine. Germany’s army, air force, and navy transmitted many thousands of coded messages each day during the Second World War. These ranged from top-level signals, such as detailed situation reports prepared by generals at the battlefronts and orders signed by Hitler himself, down to the important minutiae of war such as weather reports and inventories of the contents of supply ships. Thanks to Turing and his fellow codebreakers, much of this information ended up in Allied hands—sometimes within an hour or two of its being transmitted. The faster the messages could be broken, the fresher the intelligence that they contained, and on at least one occasion the English translation of an intercepted Enigma message was being read at the British Admiralty less than 15 minutes after the Germans had transmitted it. Turing pitted machine against machine. Building on pre-war work by the legendary Polish codebreaker Marian Rejewski, Turing invented the Enigma-cracking ‘bombes’ that quickly turned Bletchley Park from a country house accommodating a small group of thirty or so codebreakers into a vast codebreaking factory. There were approximately 200 bombes at Bletchley Park and its surrounding outstations by the end of the war. As early as 1943 Turing’s machines were cracking a staggering total of 84,000 Enigma messages each month—two messages every minute. Chapter 12 describes the bombes and explains how they worked. Turing also undertook, single-handedly at first, a 20-month struggle to crack the especially secure form of Enigma used by the North Atlantic U-boats. With his group he first broke into the current messages transmitted between the submarines and their bases during June 1941, the very month when Winston Churchill’s advisors were warning him that the wholesale sinkings in the North Atlantic would soon tip Britain into defeat by starvation.

In ASME 2018 13th International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/msec2018-6564.
Full textAbstract:
A new method, which accurately predicts cutting force in ball end milling considering cutting edge around center web, has been proposed. The new method accurately calculates the uncut chip thickness, which is required to estimate the cutting force by the instantaneous rigid force model. In the instantaneous rigid force model, the uncut chip thickness is generally calculated on the cutting edge in each minute disk element piled up along the tool axis. However, the orientation of tool cutting edge of ball end mill is different from that of square end mill. Therefore, for the ball end mill, the uncut chip thickness cannot be calculated accurately in the minute disk element, especially around the center web. Then, this study proposes a method to calculate the uncut chip thickness along the vector connecting the center of the ball and the cutting edge. The proposed method can reduce the estimation error of the uncut chip thickness especially around the center web compared with the previous method. Our study also realizes to calculate the uncut chip thickness discretely by using voxel model and detecting the removal voxels in each minute tool rotation angle, in which the relative relationship between a cutting edge and a workpiece, which changes dynamically during tool rotation. A cutting experiment with the ball end mill was conducted in order to validate the proposed method. The results showed that the error between the measured and predicted cutting forces can be reduced by the proposed method compared with the previous method.

Full textAbstract:
Wearable sensors are revolutionizing the health monitoring and medical diagnostics arena. Algorithms and software platforms that can convert the sensor data streams into useful/actionable knowledge are central to this emerging domain, with machine learning and signal processing tools dominating this space. While serving important ends, these tools are not designed to provide functional relationships between vital signs and measures of physical activity. This paper investigates the application of the metamodeling paradigm to health data to unearth important relationships between vital signs and physical activity. To this end, we leverage neural networks and a recently developed metamodeling framework that automatically selects and trains the metamodel that best represents the data set. A publicly available data set is used that provides the ECG data and the IMU data from three sensors (ankle/arm/chest) for ten volunteers, each performing various activities over one-minute time periods. We consider three activities, namely running, climbing stairs, and the baseline resting activity. For the following three extracted ECG features — heart rate, QRS time, and QR ratio in each heartbeat period — models with median error of <25% are obtained. Fourier amplitude sensitivity testing, facilitated by the metamodels, provides further important insights into the impact of the different physical activity parameters on the ECG features, and the variation across the ten volunteers.

Full textAbstract:
Blue Mountain is a 35-minute work for two actors and orchestra. It was commissioned by the Ultima Festival, and premiered in 2014 by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra. The Ultima festival challenged me – being both a composer and writer – to make something where I wrote both text and music. Interestingly, I hadn’t really thought of that before, writing text to my own music – or music to my own text. This is a very common thing in popular music, the songwriter. But in the lied, the orchestral piece or indeed in opera, there is a strict division of labour between composer and writer. There are exceptions, most famously Wagner, who did libretto, music and staging for his operas. And 20th century composers like Olivier Messiaen, who wrote his own poems for his music – or Luciano Berio, who made a collage of such detail that it the text arguably became his own in Sinfonia. But this relationship is often a convoluted one, not often discussed in the tradition of musical analysis where text tend to be taken as a given, not subjected to the same rigorous scrutiny that is often the case with music. This exposition is an attempt to unfold this process of composing with both words and music. A key challenge has been to make the text an intrinsic part of the performance situation, and the music something more than mere accompaniment to narration. To render the words meaningless without the music and vice versa. So the question that emerged was how music and words can be not only equal partners, but also yield a new species of music/text? A second questions follows en suite, and that is what challenges the conflation of different roles – the writer and the composer – presents? I will try to address these questions through a discussion of the methods applied in Blue Mountain, the results they have yielded, and the challenges this work has posed.

Informe de Política Monetaria - Enero de 2021. Banco de la República de Colombia, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/inf-pol-mont-spa.tr1-2021.
Full textAbstract:
De acuerdo con el mandato constitucional, el Banco de la República debe “velar por mantener el poder adquisitivo de la moneda, en coordinación con la política económica general”. Para cumplir con este mandato, la Junta Directiva del Banco de la República (JDBR) adoptó como estrategia un esquema flexible de inflación objetivo, en el cual las acciones de política monetaria (PM) buscan conducir la inflación a una meta puntual y alcanzar el nivel máximo sostenible del producto y del empleo. La flexibilidad del esquema le permite a la JDBR mantener un balance apropiadoentre el logro de la meta de inflación y el propósito de suavizar las fluctuaciones del producto y el empleo alrededor de su senda sostenible. La JDBR estableció una meta de inflación del 3 %, planteada sobre la variación anual del índice de precios al consumidor (IPC). En el corto plazo la inflación puede ser afectada por factores que están fuera del control de la PM, como por ejemplo cambios en los precios de los alimentos debido a fenómenos climáticos. Para incorporar lo anterior, la JDBR anuncia, junto con la meta, un rango de ±1 punto porcentual (3 ±1 pp), el cual no es un objetivo de la PM, pero refleja el hecho de que la inflación puede fluctuar alrededor de la meta, sin pretender que sea siempre igual al 3 %. El principal instrumento que tiene la JDBR para el control de la inflación es la tasa de interés de política (tasa repo a un día o tasa de interés de referencia). Dado que las acciones de PM toman tiempo en tener un efecto completo sobre la economía y la inflación, para fijar su valor la JDBR evalúa el pronóstico y las expectativas de la inflación frente a la meta, así como el estado actual y las perspectivas sobre la evolución de la economía. La JDBR se reúne una vez al mes, pero solo en ocho meses sesiona de forma ordinaria para tomar decisiones de PM (enero, marzo, abril, junio, julio, septiembre, octubre y diciembre). En los cuatro meses restantes (febrero, mayo, agosto y noviembre) no se toman, en principio, decisiones de este tipo. Al finalizar las Juntas donde se toman decisiones de PM, se publica un comunicado y se hace una rueda de prensa a cargo del gerente general del Banco y el ministro de Hacienda. El siguiente día hábil se publican las minutas de la Junta, donde se describen las posturas que llevaron a adoptar la decisión. Adicionalmente, en enero, abril, julio y octubre se publica, junto con las minutas, el Informe de Política Monetaria (IPM) realizado por el equipo técnico del Banco: el miércoles de la semana siguiente a la Junta el gerente general aclara inquietudes sobre las minutas y el gerente técnico del Banco presenta el IPM. Este esquema de comunicación busca entregar información relevante y actualizada que contribuya a la toma de mejores decisiones por parte de los agentes de la economía.
