Tests with human drivers in a driving simulator are used for developing dynamic models of drivers during emergency highway steering maneuvers. The maneuvers were required to avoid colliding with suddenly emerging simulated lane-blocking vehicles and objects. The driver models are intended for forming vehicle-driver simulation models that are used in analysis of highway accidents caused by lane obstructions. Four standard driver models are derived based on the test results, ranging from a cautious driver to an aggressive driver. Test data is provided to allow derivation of additional driver models.

Test results are presented for the rotordynamic coefficients of a hybrid bearing that is representative of bearings for liquid-rocket-engine turbopump applications. The bearing is tested in the following two degraded conditions: (a) one of five orifices plugged, and (b) a locally enlarged clearance to simulate a worn condition. Test data are presented at 24,600 rpm, with supply pressures of 4.0, 5.5, and 7.0 MPa, and eccentricity ratios from 0.1 to 0.5 in 0.1 increments. Overall, the results suggest that neither a single plugged orifice nor significant wear on the bearing land will “disable” a well-designed hybrid bearing. These results do not speak to multiple plugged orifices and are not an endorsement for operations without filters to prevent plugging orifices.

Efforts are underway at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) to develop an integrated, nationally applicable, socioeconomic/biophysical modeling capability in order to predict the environmental impacts of policy and program scenarios. This paper outlines our Decision Support System (DSS), which integrates the IROWCN (Indicator of the Risk of Water Contamination by Nitrogen) index with the agricultural policy model CRAM (Canadian Regional Agricultural Model) and presents an outline of our methodology to provide independent assessments of the IROWCN results through the use of nitrogen (N) simulation models in select, data-rich areas. Three field-level models — DSSAT, N_ABLE, and EPIC — were evaluated using local measured data. The results show that all three dynamic models can be used to simulate biomass, grain yield, and soil N dynamics at the field level; but the accuracy of the models differ, suggesting that models need to be calibrated using local measured data before they are used in Canada. Further simulation of IROWCN in a maize field using N_ABLE showed that soil-mineral N levels are highly affected by the amount of fertilizer N applied and the time of year, meaning that fertilizer and manure N applications and weather data are crucial for improving IROWCN. Methods of scaling-up simulated IROWCN from field-level to soil-landscape polygons and CRAM regions are discussed.

Coupon tests were conducted to investigate the mechanical characteristics of basalt FRP (BFRP) sheet, basalt-carbon hybrid FRP sheets and the corresponding epoxy rein under the effect of freeze-thaw cycling. FRP sheets and epoxy rein coupons were subjected to up to 200 and 250 freeze-thaw cycles respectively. Test parameters included the number of freeze-thaw cycles and the types of FRP composites. Test results show that (1) BFRP sheet perform better than CFRP or GFRP sheets under high freeze-thaw cycles; (2) exposed hybrid FRP sheets not only show very little loss in mechanical properties, but also contribute to the stability of test data; (3) mechanical properties of rein epoxy decrease significantly with increasing freeze-thaw cycles.

Wet gas compression systems and multiphase pumps are enabling technologies for the deep sea oil and gas industry. This extreme environment determines both machine types have to handle mixtures with a gas in liquid volume fraction (GVF) varying over a wide range (0 to 1). The gas (or liquid) content affects the system pumping (or compression) efficiency and reliability, and places a penalty in leakage and rotordynamic performance in secondary flow components, namely seals. In 2015, tests were conducted with a short length smooth surface annular seal (L/D = 0.36, radial clearance = 0.127 mm) operating with an oil in air mixture whose liquid volume fraction (LVF) varied to 4%. The test results with a stationary journal show the dramatic effect of a few droplets of liquid on the production of large damping coefficients. This paper presents further measurements and predictions of leakage, drag power, and rotordynamic force coefficients conducted with the same test seal and a rotating journal. The seal is supplied with a mixture (air in ISO VG 10 oil), varying from a pure liquid to an inlet GVF = 0.9 (mostly gas), a typical range in multiphase pumps. For operation with a supply pressure (Ps) up to 3.5 bar (a), discharge pressure (Pa) = 1 bar (a), and various shaft speed (Ω) to 3.5 krpm (ΩR = 23.3 m/s), the flow is laminar with either a pure oil or a mixture. As the inlet GVF increases to 0.9 the mass flow rate and drag power decrease monotonically by 25% and 85% when compared to the pure liquid case, respectively. For operation with Ps = 2.5 bar (a) and Ω to 3.5 krpm, dynamic load tests with frequency 0 < ω < 110 Hz are conducted to procure rotordynamic force coefficients. A direct stiffness (K), an added mass (M) and a viscous damping coefficient (C) represent well the seal lubricated with a pure oil. For tests with a mixture (GVFmax = 0.9), the seal dynamic complex stiffness Re(H) increases with whirl frequency (ω); that is, Re(H) differs from (K-ω2M). Both the seal cross coupled stiffnesses (KXY and −KYX) and direct damping coefficients (CXX and CYY) decrease by approximately 75% as the inlet GVF increases to 0.9. The finding reveals that the frequency at which the effective damping coefficient (CXXeff = CXX-KXY/ω) changes from negative to positive (i.e., a crossover frequency) drops from 50% of the rotor speed (ω = 1/2 Ω) for a seal with pure oil to a lesser magnitude for operation with a mixture. Predictions for leakage and drag power based on a homogeneous bulk flow model match well the test data for operation with inlet GVF up to 0.9. Predicted force coefficients correlate well with the test data for mixtures with GVF up to 0.6. For a mixture with a larger GVF, the model under predicts the direct damping coefficients by as much as 40%. The tests also reveal the appearance of a self-excited seal motion with a low frequency; its amplitude and broad band frequency (centered at around ∼12 Hz) persist and increase as the gas content in the mixture increase. The test results show that an accurate quantification of wet seals dynamic force response is necessary for the design of robust subsea flow assurance systems.

Цель статьи – получить эмпирические зависимости для характеристик трехплунжерных противопожарных насосов (ТПН), необходимые для автоматизации расчетов систем тушения пожаров на судах с применением распыленной морской воды. Задачи исследования: проверка непротиворечивости данных испытаний; определение расчетных зависимостей производительности ТПН, к.п.д., затраченной мощности от давления. Проведенный анализ результатов испытаний ТПН подтвердил возможность использования предложенных зависимостей в инженерных расчетах. Данные измерений удовлетворительно согласуются с результатами расчетов, за исключением к.п.д. Отклонение экспериментальных точек от эмпирических зависимостей, скорее всего, связано с занижением значений затраченной мощности на испытаниях при небольших давлениях. Предложено для оценки к.п.д. использовать ранее полученную типовую зависимость. Построены графики для характеристик насоса NP25/41-170S. Пример расчета рабочей точки насосной установки с использованием приближенной гидравлической характеристики водяной пожарной системы судна показал высокую эффективность предложенных методик. The purpose of the article is to obtain empirical dependences for the characteristics of three-plunger fire-fighting pumps (TFP), which are necessary for automating calculations of fire extinguishing systems on ships using sprayed seawater. Research objectives: checking the consistency of test data; determining the calculated dependences of the TFP performance, efficiency, power expended on pressure. The analysis of the TFP test results confirmed the possibility of using the proposed dependencies in engineering calculations. The measurement data are in satisfactory agreement with the results of calculations, with the exception of efficiency. The deviation of experimental points from the empirical dependences is most likely due to an underestimation of the power consumed during tests at low pressures. It is proposed to use the previously obtained typical dependence to estimate the efficiency. Graphs are plotted for the characteristics of the NP25/41-170S pump. An example of calculating the working point of a pumping unit using the approximate hydraulic characteristics of the ship's water fire system showed the high efficiency of the proposed methods.

AbstractRenewed interest in dynamic simulation models of biomolecular systems has arisen from advances in genome-wide measurement and applications of such models in biotechnology and synthetic biology. In particular, genome-scale models of cellular metabolism beyond the steady state are required in order to represent transient and dynamic regulatory properties of the system. Development of such whole-cell models requires new modelling approaches. Here we propose the energy-based bond graph methodology, which integrates stoichiometric models with thermo-dynamic principles and kinetic modelling. We demonstrate how the bond graph approach intrinsically enforces thermodynamic constraints, provides a modular approach to modelling, and gives a basis for estimation of model parameters leading to dynamic models of biomolecular systems. The approach is illustrated using a well-established stoichiometric model of E. coli and published experimental data.

<p class="Abstrak">Bencana alam merupakan suatu peristiwa yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan dan menciptakan kekacuan. Bangunan yang runtuh dapat menyebabkan cidera dan kematian pada korban. Lokasi dan waktu kejadian bencana alam yang tidak dapat diprediksi oleh manusia berpotensi memakan korban yang tidak sedikit. Oleh karena itu, untuk mengurangi korban yang banyak, setelah kejadian bencana alam, pertama yang harus dilakukan yaitu menemukan dan menyelamatkan korban yang terjebak. Penanganan evakuasi yang cepat harus dilakukan tim SAR untuk membantu korban. Namun pada kenyataannya, tim SAR mengalami kendala selama proses evakuasi korban. Mulai dari sulitnya medan yang dijangkau hingga terbatasnya peralatan yang dibutuhkan. Pada penelitian ini sistem diimplementasikan untuk deteksi korban bencana alam yang bertujuan untuk membantu mengembangkan peralatan tim SAR untuk menemukan korban bencana alam yang berbasis pengolahan citra. Algoritma yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi ada atau tidaknya korban pada gambar adalah <em>You Only Look Once</em> (YOLO). Terdapat dua macam algoritma YOLO yang diimplementasikan pada sistem yaitu YOLOv3 dan YOLOv3 Tiny. Dari hasil pengujian yang telah dilakukan didapatkan <em>F1 Score</em> mencapai 95.3% saat menggunakan YOLOv3 dengan menggunakan 100 data latih dan 100 data uji.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstract"><em>Natural disasters are events that can cause damage and create havoc. Buildings that collapse and can cause injury and death to victims. Humans can not predict the location and timing of natural disasters. After the natural disaster, the first thing to do is find and save trapped victims. The handling of rapid evacuation must be done by the SAR team to help victims to reduce the amount of loss due to natural disasters. But in reality, the process of evacuating victims of natural disasters is still a lot of obstacles experienced by the SAR team. It was starting from the difficulty of the terrain that is reached to the limited equipment needed. In this study, a natural disaster victim detection system was designed using image processing that aims to help find victims in difficult or vulnerable locations when directly reached by humans. In this study, a detection system for victims of natural disasters was implemented which aims to help develop equipment for the SAR team to find victims of natural disasters based on image processing. The algorithm used is You Only Look Once (YOLO). In this study, two types of YOLO algorithms were compared, namely YOLOv3 and YOLOv3 Tiny.

AbstractSince the beginning of the COVID -19 pandemic, many contact sport teams are facing major challenges to safely continue training and competition. We present the design and implementation of a structured monitoring concept for the Austrian national football league. 146 professional players from five clubs of the professional Austrian football league were monitored for a period of 12 weeks. Subjective health parameters, PCR- test results and data obtained from a geo-tracking app were collected. Simulations modelling the consequences of a COVID-19 case with increasing reproduction number were computed. No COVID -19 infection occurred during the observation period in the players. Infections in the nearer surroundings lead to increased perceived risk of infection. Geo tracking was particularly hindered due to technical problems and reluctance of users. Simulation models suggested a hypothetical shut-down of all training and competition activities. A structured monitoring concept can help to continue contact sports safely in times of a pandemic. Cooperation of all involved is essential. Trial registration: ID: DRKS00022166 15/6/2020 https://www.who.int/ictrp/search/en/.
