A Machine Learning Approach to Jet-Surface Interaction Noise Modeling

This paper investigates using machine learning to rapidly develop empirical models suitable for system-level aircraft noise studies. In particular, machine learning is used to train a neural network to predict the noise spectra produced by a round jet near a surface over a range of surface lengths, surface standoff distances, jet Mach numbers, and observer angles. These spectra include two sources, jet-mixing noise and jet-surface interaction (JSI) noise, with different scale factors as well as surface shielding and reflection effects to create a multi- dimensional problem. A second model is then trained using data from three rectangular nozzles to include nozzle aspect ratio in the spectral prediction. The training and validation data are from an extensive jet-surface interaction noise database acquired at the NASA Glenn Research Center's Aero-Acoustic Propulsion Laboratory. Although the number of training and validation points is small compared a typical machine learning application, the results of this investigation show that this approach is viable if the underlying data are well behaved

El tiempo de espera y su relación en la satisfacción de los usuarios del puesto de Salud Villa del Sol - Chosica - 2015

Para lograr impulsar las estrategias de fortalecimiento de los servicios de salud, y ampliar la cobertura del aseguramiento gratuito de la salud dándole fuerza al proceso de descentralización se solicitó cambiar el modelo de atención a nivel nacional e internacional, sobre los determinantes de la salud.”. Este modelo guía los términos bajo los cuales organizan y desarrollan sus actividades los servicios, la manera como otros sectores se complementan con el Sector Salud y la manera como los recursos del Estado son colocados para mejorar la salud de la población. En mi condición de profesional, me siento preocupado por el estado de la salud de los usuarios externos, por lo que considero vital, la necesidad de asumir el estudio de la atención de la salud como un todo, es relevante pues se entiende que no hay subordinación para generar los resultados deseados. Conoceremos si la prestación de los servicios es buena, contribuyendo a satisfacer las expectativas del cliente. A través de la investigación se determinará si la atención se realiza con calidad y calidez. De esta manera, contribuir a mejorar los servicios que se encuentren con deficiencias y satisfacer al usuario externo. Asimismo, lograr el cambio de actitudes y comportamientos del personal de salud a través de la capacitación considerando el lema” Personas que atendemos Personas”

Mapping Nearby Terrain in 3D by Use of a Grid of Laser Spots

A proposed optoelectronic system, to be mounted aboard an exploratory robotic vehicle, would be used to generate a three-dimensional (3D) map of nearby terrain and obstacles for purposes of navigating the vehicle across the terrain and avoiding the obstacles. The difference between this system and the other systems would lie in the details of implementation. In this system, the illumination would be provided by a laser. The beam from the laser would pass through a two-dimensional diffraction grating, which would divide the beam into multiple beams propagating in different, fixed, known directions. These beams would form a grid of bright spots on the nearby terrain and obstacles. The centroid of each bright spot in the image would be computed. For each such spot, the combination of (1) the centroid, (2) the known direction of the light beam that produced the spot, and (3) the known baseline would constitute sufficient information for calculating the 3D position of the spot

DISRUPTING THE SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE: USING CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE CLASSROOM PRACTICES TO SUPPORT BLACK STUDENTS

The school to prison pipeline is a social phenomenon in which students become formally involved with the criminal justice system due to behavior issues being addressed with law enforcement consequences rather than school-imposed consequences (Owens, 2015). Culturally responsive practices can also support educators\u27 understanding of the unique abilities and untapped assets in students of color while encouraging a more appropriate response to their behavior (Quigley, 2014). This qualitative study was conducted to determine if culturally responsive practices can disrupt the school to prison pipeline for Black students. The study included campuses across five school districts in southeast Texas. The purpose of conducting this research study is to determine if the consistent implementation of culturally responsive classroom practices could affect the disruption of the school to prison pipeline. Results of the study were the continuation of a knowledge deficit in understanding culturally responsive practices and how to implement this system effectively in classrooms
