Control of technological parameters of precision stamping process based on fuzzy logic

© 2018 IEEE. Precision stamping is a special type of processing of metal blanks, in which it becomes possible to create such parts, which subsequently will not need additional machining. Most often, after this type of stamping the parts are immediately ready to use. Process control precision stamping is based on the use of fuzzy logic, because the process parameters belong to a certain interval. In this paper, fuzzy logic is used to maintain process performance in the required ranges. Fuzzy logic is made in the form of production rules on the basis of a precompiled knowledge base using linguistic variables, the function of belonging of triangular terms is selected for precision stamping and the process of fuzzification is presented by the example of a certain variable

A comprehensive ovine model of blood transfusion

Background: The growing awareness of transfusion-associated morbidity and mortality necessitates investigations into the underlying mechanisms. Small animals have been the dominant transfusion model but have associated limitations. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive large animal (ovine) model of transfusion encompassing: blood collection, processing and storage, compatibility testing right through to post-transfusion outcomes. Materials and methods: Two units of blood were collected from each of 12 adult male Merino sheep and processed into 24 ovine-packed red blood cell (PRBC) units. Baseline haematological parameters of ovine blood and PRBC cells were analysed. Biochemical changes in ovine PRBCs were characterized during the 42-day storage period. Immunological compatibility of the blood was confirmed with sera from potential recipient sheep, using a saline and albumin agglutination cross-match. Following confirmation of compatibility, each recipient sheep (n = 12) was transfused with two units of ovine PRBC. Results: Procedures for collecting, processing, cross-matching and transfusing ovine blood were established. Although ovine red blood cells are smaller and higher in number, their mean cell haemoglobin concentration is similar to human red blood cells. Ovine PRBC showed improved storage properties in saline-adenine-glucose-mannitol (SAG-M) compared with previous human PRBC studies. Seventy-six compatibility tests were performed and 17·1% were incompatible. Only cross-match compatible ovine PRBC were transfused and no adverse reactions were observed. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the utility of the ovine model for future blood transfusion studies and highlight the importance of compatibility testing in animal models involving homologous transfusions

Modelling of conditions of development of network structures

The present stage of development of the economy is characterized by fast changes in the external environment, an increase in processes of globalization, growing competition, uncertainty and chance in the field of administrative decision making. Under such conditions, traditional forms of organization are replaced with network forms as the most effective and adaptive ones. The development of inter-firm relations, an increase in the number and variety of forms of network organizations cause the necessity of searching and assessing factors influencing this process. One of the most attractive forms of network interaction is the cluster. Regional and interregional clusters are considered as priority interindustry complexes which define the development of the economy at the national and regional level. Their formation is connected with the processes of integration of production and other organizations within one uniform territory for creating an effective industrial structure of the economy. Manufacturing enterprises and other organizations, combined in a cluster, hold a steady position amid market volatility thanks to a flexible cluster structure, synergetic effect, saving on transaction expenses, to an effective exchange of knowledge and information. In the article, the mechanisms of formation of cluster structures are considered; conditions of their effective functioning are analyzed. Special attention is paid to external factors of the successful development and formation of frame conditions of the development of clusters. On the basis of international statistics on the development of cluster structures in different countries of the world and using tools of statistical research, dependence between the development of cluster structures and a number of external conditions promoting it is shown. In this work, the importance of such factors as the development of an institutional environment, infrastructure, financial market, education, technological readiness for economy clustering is noted. On the basis of the obtained results recommendations about the development of clusters are made.Современный этап развития экономики характеризуется быстрыми изменениями во внешней среде, нарастанием процессов глобализации, повышением уровня конкуренции, неопределенности и случайности в области принятия управленческих решений. В таких условиях традиционные формы организации замещаются сетевыми формами, как наиболее эффективными и адаптивными. Развитие межфирменных отношений, увеличение числа и разнообразия форм сетевых организаций вызывают необходимость поиска и оценки факторов, влияющих на этот процесс. Одной из наиболее привлекательных форм сетевого взаимодействия на сегодняшний момент является кластер. Региональные и межрегиональные кластеры рассматриваются как приоритетные межотраслевые комплексы, которые определяют развитие экономики на национальном и региональном уровне. Их формирование связывают с процессами интеграции производственных и иных организаций в рамках единой территории для получения эффективной промышленной структуры экономики. Объединенные в кластер производственные предприятия и другие организации занимают устойчивое положение в условиях волатильной рыночной конъюнктуры за счет гибкой кластерной структуры, синергетического эффекта, экономии на трансакционных издержках, эффективному обмену знаниями и информацией. В статье рассматриваются механизмы формирования кластерных структур, анализируются условия их эффективного функционирования. Особое внимание уделяется внешним факторам успешного развития, формированию рамочных условий развития кластеров. На основе данных международной статистики по развитию кластерных структур в разных странах мира и используя инструментарий статистических исследований, показана зависимость между развитием кластерных структур и способствующих этому ряда внешних условий. В работе отмечается важность таких факторов, как развитие институциональной среды, инфраструктуры, финансового рынка, образования, технологическая готовность для кластеризации экономики. На основе полученных результатов даются рекомендации по развитию кластеров.Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке Российского гуманитарного научного фонда, грант № 15-02-000158

Electrochemical genosensor for the direct detection of tailed PCR amplicons incorporating ferrocene labelled dATP

An electrochemical genosensor for the detection and quantification of Karlodinium armiger is presented. The genosensor exploits tailed primers and ferrocene labelled dATP analogue to produce PCR products that can be directly hybridised on a gold electrode array and quantitatively measured using square wave voltammetry. Tailed primers consist of a sequence specific for the target, followed by a carbon spacer and a sequence specifically designed not to bind to genomic DNA, resulting in a duplex flanked by single stranded binding primers. The incorporation of the 7-(ferrocenylethynyl)-7-deaza-2′-deoxyadenosine triphosphate was optimised in terms of a compromise between maximum PCR efficiency and the limit of detection and sensitivity attainable using electrochemical detection via hybridisation of the tailed, ferrocene labelled PCR product. A limit of detection of 277aM with a linear range from 315aM to 10 fM starting DNA concentration and a sensitivity of 122 nA decade−1 was achieved. The system was successfully applied to the detection of genomic DNA in real seawater samples.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

LEDs based upon AlGaInP heterostructures with multiple quantum wells: comparison of fast neutrons and gammaquanta irradiation

The paper presents the research results of watt and volt characteristics of LEDs based upon AlGaInP heterostructures with multiple quantum wells in the active region. The research is completed for LEDs (emission wavelengths 624 nm and 590 nm) under irradiation by fast neutron and gamma-quanta in passive powering mode. Watt-voltage characteristics in the average and high electron injection areas are described as a power function of the operating voltage. It has been revealed that the LEDs transition from average electron injection area to high electron injection area occurs by overcoming the transition area. It disappears as it get closer to the limit result of the irradiation LEDs that is low electron injection mode in the entire supply voltage range. It has been established that the gamma radiation facilitates initial defects restructuring only 42% compared to 100% when irradiation is performed by fast neutrons. Ratio between measured on the boundary between low and average electron injection areas current value and the contribution magnitude of the first stage LEDs emissive power reducing is established. It is allows to predict LEDs resistance to irradiation by fast neutrons and gamma rays
