Interior Griya Lanjut Usia St.Yosef Di Jawa Tengah

Elderly house is a building that functioned as a shelter for the elderly man was being treated, cared for and given more attention. Numbers of elderly who do not consider the functional aspects and comfort make the elderly are reluctant to stay in elderly house. The purpose of this scheme is to provide seniors with atmosphere and design of the natural environment, safe, back to nature for the elderly and provide full facilities to serve the needs of the elderly. The concept of this design is applied to the familiarity of the layout, organization of space and furniture and adjacent groups. In addition, the combination of colors and materials also supports the concept of familiarity on St.Yosef elderly house. In St. Yosef between public spaces interconnected set, used together, and open to one another, this interior design benefits the elderly is to provide a means for the elderly where they can socialize with comfortable quarters feel feel like home

Bounded Verification with On-the-Fly Discrepancy Computation

Simulation-based verification algorithms can provide formal safety guarantees for nonlinear and hybrid systems. The previous algorithms rely on user provided model annotations called discrepancy function, which are crucial for computing reachtubes from simulations. In this paper, we eliminate this requirement by presenting an algorithm for computing piece-wise exponential discrepancy functions. The algorithm relies on computing local convergence or divergence rates of trajectories along a simulation using a coarse over-approximation of the reach set and bounding the maximal eigenvalue of the Jacobian over this over-approximation. The resulting discrepancy function preserves the soundness and the relative completeness of the verification algorithm. We also provide a coordinate transformation method to improve the local estimates for the convergence or divergence rates in practical examples. We extend the method to get the input-to-state discrepancy of nonlinear dynamical systems which can be used for compositional analysis. Our experiments show that the approach is effective in terms of running time for several benchmark problems, scales reasonably to larger dimensional systems, and compares favorably with respect to available tools for nonlinear models.Comment: 24 page

Effect of inlet conditions on taylor bubble length in microchannels

This paper was presented at the 2nd Micro and Nano Flows Conference (MNF2009), which was held at Brunel University, West London, UK. The conference was organised by Brunel University and supported by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, IPEM, the Italian Union of Thermofluid dynamics, the Process Intensification Network, HEXAG - the Heat Exchange Action Group and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.The effect of inlet conditions on the frequency and size of the bubbles that form during gas-liquid Taylor flow in microchannels is investigated in this paper. Three different inlet configurations, T-, Y- and Mjunction as well as three test channels with hydraulic diameters 0.345mm, 0.577mm and 0.816mm were used. The test fluids were nitrogen and water or octane, that have different surface tension. It was found that bubble length increased with increasing gas flowrate, gas inlet size and liquid surface tension and decreasing liquid flowrate. From the different inlet configurations, the M-junction resulted in the largest bubbles and the Y-junction in the smallest ones particularly at low liquid flowrates. The experimental bubble sizes were tested against a number of literature correlations but the agreement was not very good. Two new correlations were developed for the T- and the Y-junctions to calculate the unit cell (one bubble and one slug) frequency from which the bubble length can be found. Bubble lengths predicted from these correlations were in good agreement with experimental ones obtained from video recordings

Applications of Legendre-Fenchel transformation to computer vision problems

We aim to provide a small background on Lengenre-Fenchel transformation, the applications of which have been increasingly getting popular in computer vision. A general motivation follows up with standard examples. Then we take a good view on their applications in solving various standard computer vision problems e.g. image denoising, optical flow, image deconvolution etc

Influence of the Thermophysical Model on the CFD Analysis of Oil-Cooled Transformer Windings

A disc-type winding of an oil-immersed power transformer is modeled with Computational Fluid Dynamics. Different approaches are implemented to evaluate the feasibility of the Boussinesq approximation: (i) constant fluid properties, (ii) variable viscosity and thermal diffusivity and (iii) temperature-dependent fluid properties. Temperature and flow distributions are reconstructed and put into relation with physical phenomena and model assumptions. Their comparison suggests that numerical results are fairly sensitive to the thermophysical model as long as the buoyancy force is a relevant component of the flow. Nonetheless, all the cases converge to very close predictions of the hot-spot value and location, with possibly positive implications for the use of reference parameters when deriving flow and heat transfer correlations for this topic

Theoretical advances on Economic Model Predictive Control with time-varying costs

© 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of International Federation of Automatic Control.Economic Model Predictive Control is a technique for optimization of economic revenues arising from controlled dynamical processes that has established itself as a variant of standard Tracking Model Predictive Control. It departs from the latter in that arbitrary cost functions are allowed in the formulation of the stage cost. This paper takes a further step in expanding the applicability of Economic Model Predictive Control by illustrating how the paradigm can be adapted in order to accommodate time-varying or parameter-varying costs

ADJUSTMENT OF FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (FES) ACCORDING TO KNEE FLEXION ANGLE

To clarify the different results of our simulation and FES-cycling tests, measurements on a knee dynamometer were made. The m. quadriceps of 16 healthy test persons was activated both by FES and voluntary contraction. Stimulated with the same level of intensity in a knee flexion angle range from 5° to 105°, the diagrams showed a very unusual course. The knee torque shows its maximum at the knee flexion angle of approx. 30°. Additional isometric measurements using stimulation intensity on constant on-verge-to pain levels for different knee angles were made. The measured courses of the resulting knee torque as a function of the knee angle are much closer to the results of physiologically activated muscle. These measurements show that for optimum power release, the stimulation intensity must be regulated depending on the knee flexion angle
