An Analytic Real-Time Framework for IoT based Home Automation System
The Internet of Things or IoT means the ability to connect billions of physical devices around the world that are now linking to the internet for collecting and sharing data. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is used to sense the real-time primordial manufacture data and included the energy alliance data and the provision circumstance data. The Internet of Things (IoT) will approve any contents to be sensed or monitored remotely wherever there any remaining network infrastructure, making amenities for the integration of the actual world into computer-based systems. Real-time narrates the path of flowing media is processing. In the real-time procedure, anyone can entrance information barring to narrate for it and save our time. In our proposed system, we build a system where we calculate real-time. To compute real-time, we need an IoT based automated system. And here we use an IoT based home automation system. We are passing data through the system for collecting data with the help of Cisco Packet Tracer simulator. For calculating real-time performance, we use six performance metrics to evaluate the event detection system performance. They are sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, F1-score, and G-mean
PERANCANGAN DAN ANALISIS KEKUATAN STATIS PADA FIXED-PORTABLE HYDRAULIC SCISSOR CAR LIFT PLATFORM DENGAN KAPASITAS 2 TON
The large number of vehicles (cars) currently available causes an increase in demand for vehicle services and maintenance. Required availability of equipment that results in effectiveness and efficiency in its maintenance. The scissor lift model was chosen because it is portable and does not require much space for use in workshops. The design of a lifting device that uses a scissor lifting type hydraulic system that can be used fixed-portable for MPV type vehicles or vehicles weighing under 2 tons was carried out. The designed platform is then calculated and analyzed for its structural strength using FUSION 360 and FTOOL software. The calculation results show that the total stress is less than the permissible stress , then the material meets the strength requirements () and is declared safe. From the FEA Stress Von Mises simulation results, the total stress on the structure is smaller than the material stress. Due to the calculation using = 1.5 and the safety factor from the simulation results is greater than the safety factor used in the design, the design meets the strength requirements and is declared safe
Thermodynamics of Decaying Vacuum Cosmologies
The thermodynamic behavior of vacuum decaying cosmologies is investigated
within a manifestly covariant formulation. Such a process corresponds to a
continuous irreversible energy flow from the vacuum component to the created
matter constituents. It is shown that if the specific entropy per particle
remains constant during the process, the equilibrium relations are preserved.
In particular, if the vacuum decays into photons, the energy density and
average number density of photons scale with the temperature as and . The temperature law is determined and a generalized
Planckian type form of the spectrum, which is preserved in the course of the
evolution, is also proposed. Some consequences of these results for decaying
vacuum FRW type cosmologies as well as for models with ``adiabatic'' photon
creation are discussed.Comment: 21 pages, uses LATE
Acute toxicity of arsenic and oxidative stress responses in the embryonic development of the common South American toad Rhinella arenarum
Arsenic (As), a natural element of ecological relevance, is found in natural water sources throughout Argentina in concentrations between 0.01mg/L and 15mg/L. The autochthonous toad Rhinella arenarum was selected to study the acute toxicity of As and the biochemical responses elicited by the exposure to As in water during its embryonic development. The median lethal concentration (LC50) value averaged 24.3mg/L As and remained constant along the embryonic development. However, As toxicity drastically decreased when embryos were exposed from heartbeat-stage on day 4 of development, suggesting the onset of detoxification mechanisms. Given the environmental concentrations of As in Argentina, there is a probability of exceeding lethal levels at 1% of sites. Arsenic at sublethal concentrations caused a significant decrease in the total antioxidant potential but generated an increase in endogenous glutathione (GSH) content and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity. This protective response might prevent a deeper decline in the antioxidant system and further oxidative damage. Alternatively, it might be linked to As conjugation with GSH for its excretion. The authors conclude that toad embryos are more sensitive to As during early developmental stages and that relatively high concentrations of this toxic element are required to elicit mortality, but oxidative stress may be an adverse effect at sublethal concentrations.Fil: Mardirosian, Mariana Noelia.

Organic photocatalysis for the radical couplings of boronic acid derivatives in batch and flow.
We report an acridium-based organic photocatalyst as an efficient replacement for iridium-based photocatalysts to oxidise boronic acid derivatives by a single electron process. Furthermore, we applied the developed catalytic system to the synthesis of four active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). A straightforward scale up approach using continuous flow photoreactors is also reported affording gram an hour throughput
Flat Cosmology with Coupled Matter and Dark Energies
Three models of a flat universe of coupled matter and dark energies with
different low-redshift parameterizations of the dark energy equation of state
are considered. The dark energy is assumed to vary with time like the trace of
the energy-momentum tensor of cosmic matter. In the radiation-dominated era the
models reduce to standard cosmology. In the matter-dominated era they are, for
modern values of the cosmological parameters, consistent with data from SNe Ia
searches and with the data of Gurvits et al.(1999)for angular sizes of ultra
compact radio sources. We find that the angular size-redshift tests for our
models offer a higher statistical confidence than that based on SNe Ia data. A
comparison of our results with a recent revised analysis of angular
size-redshift legacy data is made,and the implications of our models with
optimized relativistic beaming in the radio sources is discussed. In particular
we find that relativistic beaming implies a Lorentz factor less than 6,in
agreement with its values for powerful Active Galactic Nuclei.Comment: Version to appear in The Astronomical Journal, with a modified name-

Causal Bulk Viscous Dissipative Isotropic Cosmologies with Variable Gravitational and Cosmological Constants
We consider the evolution of a flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe,
filled with a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid, in the presence of
variable gravitational and cosmological constants. The basic equation for the
Hubble parameter, generalizing the evolution equation in the case of constant
gravitational coupling and cosmological term, is derived, under the
supplementary assumption that the total energy of the Universe is conserved. By
assuming that the cosmological constant is proportional to the square of the
Hubble parameter and a power law dependence of the bulk viscosity coefficient,
temperature and relaxation time on the energy density of the cosmological
fluid, two classes of exact solutions of the field equations are obtained. In
the first class of solutions the Universe ends in an inflationary era, while in
the second class of solutions the expansion of the Universe is non-inflationary
for all times. In both models the cosmological "constant" is a decreasing
function of time, while the gravitational "constant" increases in the early
period of evolution of the Universe, tending in the large time limit to a
constant value.Comment: 14 pages, 15 figure
Effects of a modified vitrectomy probe in small-gauge vitrectomy
PURPOSE:: Thorough this experimental study, the physic features of a modified 23-gauge vitrectomy probe were evaluated in vitro. METHODS:: A modified vitrectomy probe to increase vitreous outflow rate with a small-diameter probe, that also minimized tractional forces on the retina, was created and tested. The “new” probe was created by drilling an opening into the inner duct of a traditional 23-gauge probe with electrochemical or electrodischarge micromachining. Both vitreous outflow and tractional forces on the retina were examined using experimental models of vitreous surgery. RESULTS:: The additional opening allowed the modified probe to have a cutting rate of 5,000 cuts per minute, while sustaining an outflow approximately 45% higher than in conventional 23-gauge probes. The modified probe performed two cutting actions per cycle, not one, as in standard probes. Because tractional force is influenced by cutting rate, retinal forces were 2.2 times lower than those observed with traditional cutters. CONCLUSION:: The modified probe could be useful in vitreoretinal surgery. It allows for faster vitreous removal while minimizing tractional forces on the retina. Moreover, any available probe can be modified by creating a hole in the inner duct
