Abstract Background: In their seminal paper SWOG described the expected EMR for patients by age enrolled on clinical trials in AML (Appelbaum et al Blood 2006; 107: 3481-5). We sought to contrast these to population based outcomes. Methods: Using case listing session of SEER 18 (1973-2010) we identified patients (pt) 18 years of age and older diagnosed (dx) from 1990-2005 with AML (Site recode ICD-O-3/WHO 2008 Acute Myeloid Leukemia which includes ICD-0-3 9861/3, 9873/3, 9920/3, 9910/3, 9840/3, 9891/3, 9867/3, and 9895/3 and includes all FAB and WHO subtypes except M3 ). This was done in order to match the accrual periods of the SWOG studies. We then examined the EMR of pt with non-M3 AML and compared them to those reported by SWOG. EMR in SEER was defined as death within 0 to 1 month from dx; EMR in the SWOG studies was defined as death within 30 days of initiation of induction chemotherapy. Analyses were conducted with SEER*Stat 8.1.2, Microsoft Excel 2007 and GraphPad Prism 6. All p-values were 2-sided. Results: 26,272 pt were identified within SEER and 955 pt were in the SWOG EMR cohort. 54% of patients were male in SEER and 55% were male in SWOG; 85% of patients were white in SEER and 89% were white in SWOG. The EMR was 38.6% (10,130) in the SEER cohort; EMR was 12.2% (116) in the SWOG cohort (chi-squared with Yates correction p<0.001). Age distribution and mortality by age are presented in the table below. In general the SEER patients were older and experienced a two-fold greater EMR than SWOG patients in each age subgroup. Conclusion: EMR in pt with non-M3 AML is much higher across all studied age groups in population based data than reported in SWOG studies.

Purpose This paper aims to determine the association between corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting of listed banks and female representation on boards while controlling for the impact of gender quotas. Design/methodology/approach Logistic regressions are used with bank fixed effects on a global sample of 285 commercial banks from 2005 to 2017. Findings There exists a positive association between the proportion of women on board and banks’ CSR disclosure. Positive association remains also after quota corrections for banks with either below- or above-quota female representation. Further, adding more women to boards than required by quota could affect boards’ CSR reporting in masculine countries but not in feminine countries. Research limitations/implications The results are not generalizable to smaller listed banks and the used estimation approach does not enable to detect causality. Practical implications Policymakers interested in improving banks’ CSR reporting could introduce gender quotas. Social implications Gender quotas can enforce banks’ sustainable behaviour. Originality/value First, it is the first study to thoroughly control for gender quotas while investigating the association between female representation on boards and CSR disclosure. Second, this paper moves forward from the so-far predominant concentration on single-country studies on banks’ CSR reporting. Third, this paper covers the aspect of a country’s masculinity-femininity as a factor that could influence the association between CSR disclosure and female representation.

The Dedicated Substance Abuse Treatment Unit (DSATU) is a specialized unit at the Regina Correctional Centre (RCC) that began providing comprehensive in patient addiction treatment to male sentenced offenders in 2008. The purpose of this paper is to report on the seven-year retrospective evaluation of the effectiveness of the DSATU. The study consisted of a retrospective analysis of the case files of DSATU participants (2008-09 to 2014-15 fiscal years; n=755) and a retrospective, case-control analysis of DSATU program data and Corrections’ Case Management Information System (CMIS) data from the Ministry of Justice. DSATU data spanned from 2008-2014, while CMIS data spanned from 2007-2015 (comparator group n = 535). The effectiveness of the DSATU was measured through Program Fidelity and Treatment Effectiveness, Changes in Institutional Misconduct upon completion of the program, and Changes in Contact with Correctional Services after leaving the correctional facility. Pre- and post-treatment measures of Treatment Effectiveness completed as part of the DSATU program were analyzed. Participants demonstrated statistically significant improvements in their knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and skills in dealing with substance abuse issues. In the period of time between completing the DSATU program and their release from the RCC, DSATU participants had: a significantly lower rate of Institutional Misconduct (disciplinary offenses) relative to the control group (25.3 vs. 45.8%); a significantly lower rate of re-contact with Correctional Services (recidivism) six months (17.3 vs. 26.4% for the control group) and 12 months (28.3 vs. 40.0%) post-release; and DSATU participants who came into contact with corrections post-release took longer to do so than those in the control group (251.0 days compared to 158.0 days). This study demonstrated that the DSATU program has been highly effective at reducing recidivism.

Abstract. Long-term PM2.5 exposure has been associated with various adverse health outcomes. However, most ground monitors are located in urban areas, leading to a potentially biased representation of true regional PM2.5 levels. To facilitate epidemiological studies, accurate estimates of the spatiotemporally continuous distribution of PM2.5 concentrations are important. Satellite-retrieved aerosol optical depth (AOD) has been increasingly used for PM2.5 concentration estimation due to its comprehensive spatial coverage. Nevertheless, previous studies indicated that an inherent disadvantage of many AOD products is their coarse spatial resolution. For instance, the available spatial resolutions of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) AOD products are 10 and 17.6 km, respectively. In this paper, a new AOD product with 1 km spatial resolution retrieved by the multi-angle implementation of atmospheric correction (MAIAC) algorithm based on MODIS measurements was used. A two-stage model was developed to account for both spatial and temporal variability in the PM2.5–AOD relationship by incorporating the MAIAC AOD, meteorological fields, and land use variables as predictors. Our study area is in the southeastern US centered at the Atlanta metro area, and data from 2001 to 2010 were collected from various sources. The model was fitted annually, and we obtained model fitting R2 ranging from 0.71 to 0.85, mean prediction error (MPE) from 1.73 to 2.50 μg m−3, and root mean squared prediction error (RMSPE) from 2.75 to 4.10 μg m−3. In addition, we found cross-validation R2 ranging from 0.62 to 0.78, MPE from 2.00 to 3.01 μg m−3, and RMSPE from 3.12 to 5.00 μg m−3, indicating a good agreement between the estimated and observed values. Spatial trends showed that high PM2.5 levels occurred in urban areas and along major highways, while low concentrations appeared in rural or mountainous areas. Our time-series analysis showed that, for the 10-year study period, the PM2.5 levels in the southeastern US have decreased by ~20%. The annual decrease has been relatively steady from 2001 to 2007 and from 2008 to 2010 while a significant drop occurred between 2007 and 2008. An observed increase in PM2.5 levels in year 2005 is attributed to elevated sulfate concentrations in the study area in warm months of 2005.

To capture the long run relationships, we used the panel cointegration by Pedroni (1999, 2000, 2004), while the short run relationship are measured by Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The main findings are as follows. First, the result of most results of Pedroni’s panel cointegration tests, suggest the null hypothesis of no cointegration is rejected. In consequence, this result suggests that there is a cointegration between stock price, managerial ownership, institutional ownership, public ownership, debt to equity ratio and earnings per share. Second, the results of VECM indicate that in the short run, only managerial ownership that will influence the stock price.

Abstract. Resolving the discrepancies between NEE estimates based upon (1) ground studies and (2) atmospheric inversion results, demands increasingly sophisticated techniques. In this paper we present a high-resolution inversion based upon a regional meteorology model (RAMS) and an underlying biosphere (SiB3) model, both running on an identical 40 km grid over most of North America. Previous papers have utilized inversion regions formed by collapsing biome-similar grid cells into large aggregated regions. The effect of this is that the NEE correction imposed on forested regions on the east coast of the United States might be the same as that imposed on forests on the west coast of the United States while, in reality, there likely exist subtle differences in the two areas, both natural and anthropogenic. Our current inversion framework utilizes a combination of previously employed inversion techniques while allowing carbon flux corrections to be biome independent. Temporally and spatially high-resolution results utilizing biome-independent corrections provide insight into carbon dynamics in North America. In particular, we analyze hourly CO2 mixing ratio data from a sparse network of eight towers in North America for 2004. A prior estimate of carbon fluxes due to gross primary productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) is constructed from the SiB3 biosphere model on a 40 km grid. A combination of transport from the RAMS and the parameterized chemical transport model (PCTM) models is used to forge a connection between upwind biosphere fluxes and downwind observed CO2 mixing ratio data. A Kalman filter procedure is used to estimate weekly corrections to biosphere fluxes based upon observed CO2. RMSE-weighted annual NEE estimates, over an ensemble of potential inversion parameter sets, show a mean estimate 0.57 Pg/yr sink in North America. We perform the inversion with two independently derived boundary inflow conditions and calculate jackknife-based statistics to test the robustness of the model results. We then compare final results to estimates obtained from the CarbonTracker inversion system and the Ameriflux network. Results are promising, showing the ability to correct carbon fluxes from the biosphere models over annual and seasonal time scales, as well as over the different GPP and ER components, and also providing interesting hypotheses for future work.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) white-sky surface albedos are compared with similar products generated on the basis of the Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) surface bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) model parameters available for the year 2005. The analysis is achieved using global-scale statistics to characterize the broad patterns of these two independent albedo datasets. The results obtained in M. Taberner et al. have shown that robust statistics can be established and that both datasets are highly correlated. As a result, the slight but consistent biases and trends identified in this paper, derived from statistics obtained on a global basis, should be considered sufficiently reliable to merit further investigation. The present paper reports on the zonal- and seasonal-mean differences retrieved from the analysis of the MODIS and MISR surface albedo broadband products. The MISR − MODIS differences exhibit a systematic positive bias or offset in the range of 0.01–0.03 depending on the spectral domain of interest. Results obtained in the visible domain exhibit a well-marked and very consistent meridional trend featuring a “smile effect” such that the MISR − MODIS differences reach maxima at the highest latitudes in both hemispheres. The analysis of seasonal variations observed in MISR and MODIS albedo products reveals that, in the visible domain, the MODIS albedos generate weaker seasonal changes than MISR and that the differences increase poleward from the equatorial regions. A detailed investigation of MODIS and MISR aerosol optical depth retrievals suggests that this large-scale meridional trend is probably not caused by differences in the aerosol load estimated by each instrument. The scale and regularity of the meridional trend suggests that this may be due to the particular sampling regime of each instrument in the viewing azimuthal planes and/or approximations in the atmospheric correction processes. If this is the case, then either MODIS is underestimating, or MISR overestimating, the surface anisotropy or both.

Full textAbstract:
Summary Minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) is one of the key design parameters for gas injection projects. It is a physical parameter that is a measure of local displacement efficiency while subject to some constraints due to its definition. Also, the MMP value is used to tune compositional models along with proper fluid description constrained with other available basic phase behavior data, such as bubble point pressure and volumetric properties. In general, carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrocarbon gases are the most common gases used for (or screened for) gas injection processes, and because of recent focus, they are used to screen for the coupling of CO2-sequestration and CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. Because the CO2/oil phase behavior is quite different than the hydrocarbon gas/oil phase behavior, researchers developed specialized correlations for CO2 or CO2-rich streams. Therefore, there is a need for a tool with expanded range capabilities for the estimation of MMP for CO2 gas streams. The only known and widely accepted measurement technique for MMP that is coherent with its formal definition is the use of a slimtube apparatus. However, the use of slimtube restricts the amount of data available, even though there are other alternative techniques presented over the last three decades, which all have various limitations (Dindoruk et al. 2021). Due to some of the complexities highlighted in Dindoruk et al. (2021) and time and resource requirements, there have been a number of correlations developed in the literature using mostly classical regression techniques with relatively sparse data using various combinations of limited input data (Cronquist 1978; Lee 1979; Yellig and Metcalfe 1980; Alston et al. 1985; Glaso 1985; Jaubert et al. 1998; Emera and Sarma 2005; Yuan et al. 2005; Ahmadi et al. 2010; Ahmadi and Johns 2011). In this paper, we present two separate approaches for the calculation of the MMP of an oil for CO2 injection: analytical correlation in which the correlation coefficients were tuned using linear support vector machines (SVMs) (Press et al. 2007; MathWorks 2020; RDocumentation 2020b; Cortes and Vapnik 1995) and using a hybrid method (i.e., superlearner model), which consists of the combination of random forest (RF) regression (Breiman 2001) and the proposed analytical correlation. Both models take the compositional analysis of oils up to heptane plus fraction, molecular weight of oil, and the reservoir temperature as input parameters. Based on statistical and data analysis techniques in combination with the help of corresponding crossplots, we showed that the performance of the final proposed method (hybrid method) is superior to all the leading correlations (Cronquist 1978; Lee 1979; Yellig and Metcalfe 1980; Alston et al. 1985; Glaso 1985; Emera and Sarma 2005; Yuan et al. 2005) and supervised machine-learning (Metcalfe 1982) methods considered in the literature (Altman 1992; Chambers and Hastie 1992; Chapelle and Vapnik 2000; Breiman 2001; Press et al. 2007; MathWorks 2020). The proposed model works for the widest spectrum of MMPs from 1,000 to 4,900 psia, which covers the entire range of oils within the scope of CO2 EOR based on the widely used screening criteria (Taber et al. 1997a, 1997b).

This dissertation is the culmination of extensive literature study on the application of Restorative Justice in the South African Correctional System. International and national resources on the application of Restorative Justice both in Corrections and as pre-sentence option had been studied.
The background of the penal system and the development of Restorative Justice as part of the Criminal Justice System are investigated by looking at ancient practices, indigenous and modern practices. The study intends to draw on experience from other countries, while at the same time advocate for the development of a uniquely South African model or practice.
The role of the most important stakeholders, namely victim, offender and community is emphasized with reference to the challenges that offenders face in terms of reintegration and the lack of resources in communities to enable them to honour Restorative Justice agreements.<br>Criminology<br>M.

The transformation of the Department of Correctional Services into an institution of rehabilitation and the promotion of corrections as a societal responsibility brought a new dimension to the release policy of South Africa. A new Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998 came into effect and the Department of Correctional Services published a White Paper on Corrections during 2005.
The idealistic correctional goal of protecting the community while rehabilitating the offender has served as a reason for conducting research into the parole process from a South African perspective. The qualitative aim of the study is to explore parole as a phenomenon and to describe the process involved in successfully reintegrating an offender into the community.
The significant role that Correctional Supervision and Parole Boards play in the parole process and the emphasis they place on community safety, the interest of the victim and the rehabilitation and control of offenders as part of their mission statement are highlighted in the study.<br>Penology<br>M.A. (Penology)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implementation of the Unit Management into the South African Correctional Centres of Excellence. The focal point is based on the case management, multi-disciplinary approach, monitoring, and human rights of offenders. Unit Management was adopted into South African correctional system in 1995 under the leadership of the former Minister of Correctional Services Dr Sipho Mzimela. Unit Management was firstly practiced at Goodwood Correctional Centre of Excellence in the Western Cape. The concept of Unit Management was viewed as a strategic change by the Department in ensuring the core business of the Department and the rehabilitation of offenders. In an effort to examine the application of Unit Management into the Correctional Centres of Excellence and how Unit Management influences the rehabilitation of sentenced offenders, a study was conducted to acquire knowledge and perspective from the available literature. In ensuring good and proper work, the researcher employed a qualitative methodology. The researcher collected data by means of structured questionnaires. Data were analysed using SPSS system for statistical reasons. Frequency tables were used to simplify the analysis per section and category. The findings from this study revealed that there is no monitoring of Unit Management taking place into the Correctional Centres of Excellence from management, there is no management involvement. It also revealed that the human rights of offenders are not respected during the implementation of Unit Management. The findings revealed that multi-disciplinary approach is dysfunctional owing to lack of professional staff. The findings also indicate that efforts to implement Unit Management into the Correctional Centres of Excellence are a failure owing to the abovementioned factors.<br>Corrections Management<br>M.A. (Penology)

This report is the result of a literature study and questionnaire which gave insight on the role of Department of Correctional Services in the rehabilitation of child molesters. Correctional Services has adopted a new approach, where offenders need to change their negative behavior and be rehabilitated. Corrections have a societal responsibility towards the community to guide the offender on his rehabilitation path.
This study was conducted to give a better understanding of rehabilitation to child molesters. It seems that child molesters will re-offend if they are not included in a thorough treatment programme. The purpose of this research is to determine if the Department of Correctional Services delivers on its legal and social responsibility towards the rehabilitation of child molesters. It is evaluated against international benchmarks.
In this study the researcher gathered information on the profile of a child molester, the programmes currently available in Correctional Services, and also the involvement of the community in this process. Corrections cannot work alone, and needs the help of the community and leaders in the community to assist it in this process.
Correctional Services faces many challenges in order to succeed in the rehabilitation of offenders. Currently there is a shortage of social workers and psychologists in the Department of Correctional Services, and the Department cannot, therefore, fully succeed in its rehabilitative role. Another aspect is that treatment is voluntary, and offenders can decide if they want to become involved or not. Only if the judge decides that the offender must be included in therapy, can he be forced to do so.<br>Penology<br>M.A. (Penology)

Full textAbstract:
Since the Department of Correctional Services has been transformed into an institution of rehabilitation and the promotion of corrections has become a societal responsibility, there is a new dimension to the classification system whereby offenders are separated according to their potential for treatment and training programmes.
Research into offender classification as a tool to rehabilitate offenders in corrections was necessitated by the way in which assessment was used for classification. Corrections uses offender files as the only determinant of classification assessment. Simply investigating offender files and observing classification hearings does not reveal the full aspects of the character of the offender as an individual. Corrections does not use qualitative research to gain an understanding of real issues faced by the offender. The problems with classification are also quantity assessments that are too narrow. Most correctional institutions believe that better data and statistical analysis will in one way or the other improve the situation for offenders and correctional officials. Staffs have limited skills and lack the appropriate training to support the rehabilitation of offenders. This remains an obstacle to the delivery and transformation of the department and implies that there is ineffective treatment of offenders. The increasing dissatisfaction with treatment and rehabilitation services available to offenders in South African prisons can result in an increase in recidivism. All of the above are reasons why this research became important.
The investigation contributes largely to scientific knowledge regarding the importance of classification for each individual within corrections. In this research the extent to which classification treatment rehabilitation arrangements are based on the concept of differential treatment is studied. This implies that offenders' needs and problems must be specific and treated on an individualised basis. This study focuses on classifying offenders as a means to rehabilitate them effectively. Particular emphasis will be placed on philosophical approaches, theoretical frameworks and the effectiveness of offenders' treatment through the utilisation of reliable assessment tools. This research was conducted through an extensive literature study by examining offender classification as a rehabilitation tool from a Penological perspective. International and national approaches as well as standards for the treatment of offenders and a range of rehabilitation programmes were also studied.<br>Department of Penology<br>M.A. (Penology)

Many young people in South Africa are involved in crime, especially violent crime. This statement is supported by statistics obtained from the Annual Report (2013:37) of the Judicial Inspectorate for Correctional Services which indicates that 26 282 young people were serving sentences in South African Correctional Centres at the end of the 2012/13 financial year. This annual report of the Department of Correctional Services (2013:13) indicates that at the time of the report, 11 000 offenders were sentenced to life imprisonment and a third of them were youth offenders. The majority of these young people have to be transferred from juvenile facilities to adult centres to continue their incarceration when they turn twenty one. This transition holds a number of challenges, both for these young people and the Department of Correctional Services. Young people are confronted with the reality of possibly falling victim to HIV/AIDS, gangs, sodomy and rape in overcrowded, adult correctional facilities. The Department of Correctional Services encounters problems in assisting these young people to adjust to this transition and the protection of these young people from assault and abuse by older inmates remains an institutional concern. The main aims of this research are to examine: the age at which juveniles are transferred to adult correctional centre to continue with their sentences; the factors taken into account before transfer; the challenges faced by youth offenders in adult correctional centre; and the needs of youth offenders in adult correctional facility. The study addresses the following questions:
• At what age are youth offenders transferred to adult correctional centre?
• What other factors besides age are considered before youth are transferred to adult correctional centre?
• Are there any preparatory measures in place to assist youth with the transfer?
• Are there any induction programmes available to assist youth adjusting in adult correctional facility?
• What are the challenges faced by youth in adult facility?
• What are the needs of youth offenders in adult facility?<br>Criminology and Security Science<br>M.A. (Criminology)

The Ministry of Education in South Africa has identified distance education as a system that should extend educational opportunities and provide access to individuals who do not have the opportunity to study fulltime. The White Paper 3 - the National Plan for higher education (DoE, 2001a) advocates an increase in the general participation rate in public higher education in South Africa, with the aim of facilitating lifelong learning, developing the skills base of the country and redressing historical inequities in the provision of education. Badat (2005) adds that through distance education access is presented to people who would not have the opportunity to study fulltime because of work commitments, personal and social circumstances, geographical distance or poor quality or inadequate prior learning experiences. Distance education offer flexible learning to students. The flexibility of learning at a distance using new technologies gives students an opportunity to study while working. The technology can make an impact in supporting teaching and learning.

The higher education environment is changing driven by the needs of its students, evolving into a combination of different approaches (blended learning), with lectures, tutorials, and independent reading forming just one side of the overall learning encounter. A white paper from IBM (Robert, 2005) highlights some interesting viewpoints on how training programs should aim to meet the changing needs of today’s learners. They are part of the Millennial (or “Net”) Generation, brought up within a world of computers, mobile phones, and the Internet. More often, this generation of learner has little fear of present technology and in fact desires the latest electronic hi-tech advances. With such natural acceptance they have few barriers to impede the use of alternative methods, such as electronic learning (e-learning), to supplement their educational experience. As computing devices have become smaller and network accesses have become ubiquitous, the paradigm has been enhanced by the concept of mobile or m-learning. Carlson (2005) has described the Millennial generation as smart but impatient, commanding immediate results and with divided attention spans. However, there are positive observations about their self-motivation and wiliness to seek out and share resources to complement their course material. The speed at which information can be gleaned from the Internet using search engines has obvious benefits and students have grown to expect the same speed and accessibility in all facets of their lives, including education. This has created demands on education facilities to keep pace with modern living and upgrade teaching practices to make the most of technical advances. The modern student is a consumer with a more varied educational background and entrance route, and with that comes more rigorous demands on the applicability of the education they are receiving in return for their money. It is likely that this will become a driver for modern teaching practices. This article will give an introduction to some of the current research into the use of modern multimedia technologies in higher education facilities, with detail given to some approaches adopted by the University of Ulster (Lightbody, McCullagh, Weeks, & Hutchison, 2006)

Full textAbstract:
For fracture mechanic applications at design level or during operation the basic parameter used is the elastic stress intensity factor K. This stress intensity factor can be evaluated through different methods: formulas, influence or weight functions or direct elastic finite element analysis of the cracked structure. After a brief review of available methods to develop elastic analysis of the fracture mechanic parameter K (stress intensity factor), this paper will compare French RSE-M Appendix 5 handbook and corresponding ASME-XI draft Appendix A-3000 handbook under development for cylindrical cracked structures (pipes or vessels) in a first step. In a future step, other structures (elbows, thickness variation…) and other crack types or locations will be considered. The cross reference validations and the technical white papers will be discussed in the paper. A short overview of plasticity corrections proposed by these 2 different Codes will be presented, compared and discussed in accordance with the validation analysis available. Finally, some differences between these 2 handbooks can have important safety consequences in their practical applications, some over-conservatism have to be better understand and will be discussed in term of consequences on different practical applications, like fatigue or corrosion crack growth, or critical crack size in brittle or ductile regime of nuclear components.

Full textAbstract:
The SIMPLE method and its various modified versions have been widely used over the past two decades in the fluid flow modeling. One important feature in these SIMPLE-like algorithms is the use of a pressure correction in the pressure-correction equation, which is known to be effective in correcting the velocity field but not so in correcting the pressure field. This paper presents a modified SIMPLE algorithm to overcome this problem. This modified SIMPLE method, while still using the pressure correction for correcting the velocity field like the SIMPLE method, introduces a secondary pressure correction for correcting the pressure field. Numerical calculations of gas-solid flow in a fluidized bed suggest that this method can accelerate convergence, improve accuracy and save CPU time, compared to the SIMPLE method.

Full textAbstract:
The power output and heat rate (or efficiency) of a combined cycle power plant are expressed in the Power Industry at a specified set of “reference conditions”. Some of these reference conditions pertain to the test boundary (eg. ambient air temperature, barometric pressure etc.) while some others pertain to the operating condition (eg. baseload, evaporative cooler status, etc.) within the plant boundary. The process of measuring the actual thermal performance of a combined cycle plant involves conducting a test wherein the plant is operated at the pre-determined set of operating conditions that enable minimizing deviations from the “reference conditions”. It is a well-known fact that despite all efforts made during such a test, the actual boundary and operating conditions that prevail at the time of the test will not necessarily be identical to the pre-defined set of “reference conditions”. Hence, in order to evaluate the performance levels of the plant, one of the essential steps in the testing process is to “correct” the measured power output and heat consumption (or heat rate) for differences that persist between the actual test conditions and the corresponding set of “reference conditions”. This “correction” can be performed by using either a correction curve-based approach or a model-based approach. When a correction curve-based approach is used, the effects of the boundary conditions on the relevant performance parameter (output, heat consumption or heat rate) can be depicted as an additive correction term or as a multiplicative correction term. As such, the corrections to the boundary conditions can be applied as either a) additive or b) multiplicative or c) a combination of additive and multiplicative referred to as “hybrid”. The prevailing industry code for testing combined cycle power plants, ASME PTC 46, has adopted the “hybrid” method while the codes for testing individual equipment (such as PTC 22, PTC 6.2, PTC 6) have adopted either the additive philosophy or the multiplicative philosophy or a “hybrid” philosophy similar to PTC 46. The purpose of this paper is to present the outcome of a study that compares the three different correction methods utilizing the correction curve approach for a combined cycle power plant. The studies were based on thermodynamic simulations performed on different plant configurations. A key result will be the quantification of the errors associated with the different methods, which are primarily a function of the ability of the different methods to inherently capture the interactions between the various boundary parameters in the correction process and are a representation of the uncertainty associated with the particular correction method. Furthermore, the paper will introduce a new calculation method and provide recommendations that will help improve the accuracies of test results.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, contact modeling technique and dynamics analysis of piston and cylinder system are presented by using modal synthesis method. It is very important to select mode shapes representing a global or local behavior of a flexible body due to a specified loading condition. This paper proposes a technique to generate the static correction modes which are nicely representing a motion by a contact force between a piston and cylinder. First normal modes of piston and cylinder under a boundary condition are computed, and then static correction modes due to a contact force applied at contacted nodes are added to the normal modes. Also, this paper proposes an efficient dynamics analysis process while changing the shape of the piston and cylinder. In optimization process or design study, their geometric data can be changed a bit. The slight changes of their contact surfaces make a high variation of the magnitude of a contact force, and it can yield the different dynamic behavior of an engine system. But, since the variations of the normal and correction modes are very small, the re-computation of their normal and correction modes due to the change of contact surfaces can be useless. Until now, whenever their contact surfaces are changed at a design cycle, the modes have been recomputed. Thus, most engineers in industries have been spent many times in very tedious and inefficient design process. In this paper, the normal and correction modes from the basic geometry of the piston and cylinder are computed. If the geometry shape is changed, nodal positions of the original modal model are newly calculated from an interpolation method and changed geometry data. And then the updated nodes are used to compute a precise contact force. The proposed methods illustrated in this investigation have good agreement with results of a nodal synthesis technique and proved that it is very efficient design method.

Full textAbstract:
Progressing needs for prompt cold start of direct injection Diesel engines is the motivation behind this study. Authors have examined the autoignition and combustion processes in the early firing cycles of the engine and proposed a strategy to reduce the cranking period and the white smoke emissions. The concept is to accelerate the preparation of the combustible mixture during the cranking process. This is achieved by splitting the injected fuel in two parts and controlling its timing. The duration of the first injection is limited such that the spray penetrates through the combustion chamber and evaporates before it reaches the walls. The dwell between the two injections is adjusted to allow time for the first spray to mix with the fresh charge, form a combustible mixture and start producing the autoignition radicals. The second part would evaporate and autoignite by reacting with the radicals before it reaches the cool walls. The strategy is verified on a 1.2 L Ford Diata Diesel engine equipped with a first generation common rail fuel injection system. The cycle resolved hydrocarbons, and NOx emissions are measured by high response detectors. In addition, the mass and constituents of the white smoke are measured. All the experiments for this paper have been conducted after the engine has been soaked at the normal room temperature for at least eight hours. The results showed that there is an optimum strategy for the split injection that would minimize the cranking period and white smoke emissions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Manufacturing yield is stable when the technology is mature. But, once in a while, excursions may occur due to variances in the large number of tools, materials, and people involved in the complex IC fabrication. Quickly identifying and correcting the root causes of yield excursions is extremely important to achieving consistent, predictable yield, and maintaining profitability. This paper presents a case study of yield learning through a layout-aware advanced scan diagnosis tool to resolve a significant yield excursion for an IC containing 1 Million logic gates, manufactured at 130 nm technology node.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes an experimental investigation of the role of alloying, carbon content, and heat treatment on white layer formation in machining of steels. This is carried out by machining steels that differ in alloying, heat treatment and carbon content, via orthogonal cutting tests performed with low CBN content tools. The thickness of white layer produced in AISI 1045 and AISI 4340 annealed steels are compared to determine the effect of alloying on white layer formation. The effect of heat treatment on white layer formation is investigated by machining annealed and hardened AISI 4340 steels. The effect of carbon content on white layer formation is investigated by cutting AISI 52100 and AISI 4340 steels of the same hardness (53 HRC). Since 52100 steel has almost twice the amount of carbon and less number of alloying elements than AISI 4340 steel, an approximate understanding of the effect of carbon content on white layer formation can be inferred. The results of the study show that alloying, heat treatment, and carbon content influence white layer formation. The possible roles of the maximum workpiece surface temperature, effective plastic strain and stress on white layer formation in the different steels are also analyzed via finite element simulations performed in a commercially available code.

Full textAbstract:
According to the International Energy Agency in 2006 nearly 36% of the total world energy was consumed by buildings and urbanization. This paper dimensions the effect of passive design corrections on the envelope of a new corporate office building in the temperate climate of Mexico City’s central area. It confirms that these are the most cost effective measures to reduce HVAC peak load, minimize system size and improve performance. It used thermal analysis to evaluate the impact of three corrective strategies: low E double glassing, adjusting shading coefficient (SC) and insulation of walls and ceiling. Results show that if low E double glassed windows are installed, heating requirements are cut by half, while peak cooling load is reduced one fifth. A 50% Shading Coefficient (SC) has also a significant effect, reducing peak cooling load in May an additional 26%.

Full textAbstract:
This paper provides comprehensive methodology on testing inlet chiller systems that are used for Gas Turbine Inlet Air Conditioning. It will serve as a guiding document for the Inlet Chiller Project Team formed by PTC 51, “Combustion Turbine Inlet Air Conditioning Equipment” for use in scripting that code’s section on Inlet Chiller Performance Testing. This paper shows the conceptual similarities that can be drawn between inlet chiller and overall plant performance testing, as well as detailing the pertinent test scopes and boundaries, identifying expected test objectives, and listing the applicable test boundary parameters to be used for correction. Addressing an industry need, this paper also offers guidance on testing these components / systems at conditions different than design. Current equipment code committees, such as ASME PTC 22 on Gas Turbines, and ASME PTC 46 on Overall Plant Performance Testing, have concluded that inlet air conditioning equipment must be out of service while testing the major plant equipment. This would require the inlet chilling system to be tested separately. This requirement dictates that a technically-sound method of inlet chiller testing be codified in a timely manner.
