A parallel two mesh method for speeding-up processes with localized deformations: application to cogging
International audienceIn order to reduce the very long computational time required for the simulation of incremental processes such as cogging or ring rolling, a Bimesh method is proposed. It consists in using different finite element meshes for the resolution of the different physical problems: a main fine mesh to store the results and to carry out the thermal computations, and an intermediate coarser mesh for the mechanical calculations. It makes it possible to take advantage of the localised deformations that characterize incremental processes to coarsen the mechanical mesh and consequently reduce the computational time. After presenting the main components of these Bimesh method, the building of the embedded meshes and the data transfer between the meshes, its extension for parallel calculations are discussed, before analysing the obtained speed-ups for several cogging applications, both in sequential and in parallel

National audienceL'objectif de ces travaux est de reÌduire le temps de calcul pour des proceÌdeÌs multiphysiques increÌmentaux. Le principe de la meÌthode est d'utiliser un maillage adeÌquat pour chaque physique du probleÌme. Un autre point important de l'approche est l'utilisation d'un maillage de stockage, lequel permet de conserver la preÌcision malgreÌ les remaillages. La strateÌgie proposeÌe permet d'obtenir des acceÌleÌrations importantes en temps de calcul. Enfin, on propose une extension de cette approche dans le cadre d'une description Arbitrairement Lagrangienne ou EuleÌrienne.See http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/59/27/13/ANNEX/r_08GV6R71.pd
Endurance Track: A Comprehensive Embedded System for Equestrian Endurance Race Management
Digital transformation in horse businesses occurs by providing software and hardware solutions to virtually assist the stablesâ everyday operations. In this paper, we propose a system that aims to help the Equestrian Federation in Bahrain hold all the things related to endurance races in Bahrain and during international competitions. It consolidates all of the information about the horses, stables, and stakeholders into one system. It centralizes horse, stable, and stakeholder data. A smart wearable horse health monitoring device uses Internet of Things sensors like a heart rate (HR) sensor to assess the horseâs HR throughout the race and inform the horse responsible if the horse is in an abnormal condition. The GPS module tracks each horse on a racing track-customized map. Arduino Node-MCU controls GPS and HR and uploads HR and GPS data to the Firebase Database. Horse, race data, and results will be stored in a Firebase real-time database and accessible via a Flutter-developed mobile app. The device stores the QR code affixed by the federation to each horseâs passport for identification purposes, thereby facilitating the digital identification of horses. The system will improve endurance race quality quickly by simplifying registration, tracking horse health, and reducing human work
Comprehensive investigation on hydrogen and fuel cell technology in the aviation and aerospace sectors
The world energy consumption is greatly influenced by the aviation industry with a total energy consumption ranging between 2.5% and 5%. Currently, liquid fossil fuel, which releases various types of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, is the main fuel in the aviation industry. As the aviation industry grows rapidly to meet the requirements of the increased world population, the demand for environmentally friendly power technology for various applications in the aviation sector has been increased sharply in recent years. Among the various clean power sources, energy obtained from hydrogen is considered the future for energy generation in the aviation industry due to its cleanness and abundance. This paper aims to give an overview of the potential aviation applications where hydrogen and fuel cell technology can be used. Also, the major challenges that limit the wide adoption of hydrogen technology in aviation are highlighted and future research prospects are identified
Transitioning power distribution grid into nanostructured ecosystem : prosumer-centric sovereignty
PhD ThesisGrowing acceptance for in-house Distributed Energy Resource (DER) installations at lowvoltage
level have gained much significance in recent years due to electricity market liberalisations
and opportunities in reduced energy billings through personalised utilisation
management for targeted business model. In consequence, modelling of passive customersâ
electric power system are progressively transitioned into Prosumer-based settings where presidency
for Transactive Energy (TE) system framework is favoured. It amplifies Prosumersâ
commitments into annexing TE values during market participations and optimised energy
management to earn larger rebates and incentives from TE programs. However, when dealing
with mass Behind-The-Meter DER administrations, Utility foresee managerial challenges
when dealing with distribution network analysis, planning, protection, and power quality
security based on Prosumersâ flexibility in optimising their energy needs.
This dissertation contributes prepositions into modelling Distributed Energy Resources
Management System (DERMS) as an aggregator designed for Prosumer-centered cooperation,
interoperating TE control and coordination as key parameters to market for both
optimised energy trading and ancillary services in a Community setting. However, Prosumers
are primarily driven to create a profitable business model when modelling their
DERMS aggregator. Greedy-optimisation exploitations are negative concerns when decisions
made resulted in detrimental-uncoordinated outcomes on Demand-Side Response (DSR)
and capacity market engagements. This calls for policy decision makers to contract safe (i.e.
cooperative yet competitive tendency) business models for Prosumers to maximise TE values
while enhancing networkâs power quality metrics and reliability performances.
Firstly, digitalisation and nanostructuring of distribution network is suggested to identify
Prosumer as a sole energy citizen while extending bilateral trading between Prosumer-to-
Prosumer (PtP) with the involvements of other grid operatorsâTE system. Modelling of
Nanogrid environment for DER integrations and establishment of local area network infrastructure
for IoT security (i.e. personal computing solutions and data protection) are committed
for communal engagements in a decentralise setting. Secondly, a multi-layered Distributed
Control Framework (DCF) is proposed using Microsoft Azure cloud-edge platform that cascades energy actors into respective layers of TE control and coordination. Furthermore,
modelling of flexi-edge computing architecture is proposed, comprising of Contract-Oriented
Sensor-based Application Platform (COSAP) employing Multi-Agent System (MAS) to
enhance data-sharing privacy and contract coalition agreements during PtP engagements.
Lastly, the Agents of MAS are programmed with cooperative yet competitive intelligences
attributed to Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Neural Networks (NN) algorithms to solve
multimodal socio-economical and uncertainty problems that corresponded to Prosumersâ
dynamic energy priorities within the TE framework. To verify the DERMS aggregator
operations, three business models were proposed (i.e. greedy-profit margin, collegial-peak
demand, reserved-standalone) to analyse comparative technical/physical and economic/social
dimensions. Results showed that the proposed TE-valued DERMS aggregator provides
participation versatility in the electricity market that enables competitive edginess when utilising
Behind-The-Meter DERs in view of Prosumerâs asset scheduling, bidding strategy, and
corroborative ancillary services. Performance metrics were evaluated on both domestic and
industrial NG environments against IEEE Standard 2030.7-2017 & 2030.8-2018 compliances
to ensure deployment practicability.
Subsequently, proposed in-house protection system for DER installation serves as an
add-on monitoring service which can be incorporated into existing Advance Distribution
Management System (ADMS) for Distribution Service Operator (DSO) and field engineers
use, ADMS aggregator. It provides early fault detections and isolation processes from allowing
fault current to propagate upstream causing cascading power quality issues across
the feeder line. In addition, ADMS aggregator also serves as islanding indicator that distinguishes
Nanogridâs islanding state from unintentional or intentional operations. Therefore, a
Overcurrent Current Relay (OCR) is proposed using Fuzzy Logic (FL) algorithm to detect,
profile, and provide decisional isolation processes using specified OCRs. Moreover, the
proposed expert knowledge in FL is programmed to detect fault crises despite insufficient
fault current level contributed by DER (i.e. solar PV system) which conventional OCR fails
to trigger
A STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR ATTAINING GOLDEN LEED CERTIFICATION FOR RESORTS
The contemporary landscape of engineering is witnessing a pivotal shift towards sustainability, encapsulated in the catchphrase GO GREEN . This global trend underscores a strategic emphasis on sustainable design, where engineering projects prioritize a delicate balance among environmental, societal, and economic considerations.â However, a persistent challenge in construction projects lies in their tendency to neglect environmental impact, contributing to increased contamination levels. This paper aims to introduce the Lodge in the Green project, meticulously aligned with LEED Certification principles. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, stands as the foremost green building rating system, highlighting its relevance in contemporary sustainable engineering practices.â Employing a qualitative approach, this paper systematically explores various facades of the Lodge in the Green project, commencing with a thorough illustration of the strategic pathway to attain the looked-for LEED certification. Subsequently, performing a detailed examination of the fixtures strategically selected in the project to fulfill LEED criteria. Additionally, the analysis delves into the project\u27s quantifiable achievements in energy efficiency, water conservation, and overall environmental stewardship. As for the impact of applying LEED criteria, it led to a 30% increase in water efficiency. In turn, this got translated into a decreased pumping demand for the water network resulting in 35% less greenhouse gas emissions. The former offered 18% savings over a 30-year period after assessing the short-term financial costs and the long-term savings. Last but foremost, by implementing the outlined strategy, âLodge in the Greenâ innovatively attains 78 LEED points through its infrastructure design, which aligns with a Gold-LEED certification
MISA (Minimally Invasive Surfactant Administration) Versus Insure (Intubation, Surfactant, Extubation) In Preterms Less Than 34 Weeks With RDS
Background: Newborn Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) or what is known as surfactant deficiency disorder is a syndrome that affects premature infants who are born prematurely and is caused by a developmental deficiency in the production of pulmonary surfactant or as it is called immature formation of the lungs, or as a result of a defect in the protein gene that forms pulmonary surfactant. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is the first technique for respiratory therapy while MISA and InSurE are both the most commonly used in RDS.
Objective: To compare the use of the MISA method and the InSurE method in the treatment of premature infants less than 34 weeks of gestational age with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).
Patients and methods: The sample size was 70 infants with gestational age less than 34 weeks with RDS. 35 newborn were enrolled in each group. First group received surfactant via MIST technique and the other 35 newborn received it via InSurE technique. Infants in the InSurE group required intubation, according to previous collected data from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) center.
Results: After the injection of surfactant, the 13 (37%) infants needed another dose in the MIST group, while only 3 (8.57%) infants in the InSurE group needed a second dose of the same substance. Accordingly, the response of the MIST group was shown to be a less improvement than the InSurE group in the child's breathing methods.
Conclusion: The MIST method was the most successful with a rate of 96.5% in terms of time and the child's response to treatment, and the researcher recommended that the reasons for the effectiveness of MISA in treating RDS should be studied. However duration of invasive mechanical ventilation were higher in MIST group than InSurE group
PEMBERIAN JAHE TERHADAP PERBAIKAN KADAR PROFIL LIPID DAN RISIKO ATEROSKLEROSIS PADA DISLIPIDEMIA
Dislipidemia merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya penyakit jantung coroner (PJK) yakni aterosklerosis. Menurut World Health Organization (WHO), angka kejadian dislipidemia tertinggi terjadi di Eropa dan dapat meningkatkan risiko terjadinya stroke iskemik. Jahe (Zingiber officinale) merupakan tanaman herbal yang memiliki beberapa kandungan untuk memperbaiki kadar profil lipid. Pemberian jahe dapat mempengaruhi kadar profil lipid dengan beberapa dosis dan jenis ekstrak jahe. Beberapa penelitian menyebutkan kadar flavonoid pada jahe dapat menurunkan kadar kolesterol dengan meningkatkan sintesis asam empedu. Kandungan 6-gingerol pada jahe dapat menurunkan kadar Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lewat penurunan kadar C-reactive protein (CRP) dan prostaglandin (PGE2). Peningkatan kadar High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) dipengaruhi oleh kandungan niacin pada jahe. Trigliserida dapat menagalami penurunan kadar didalam serum dengan meningkatkan aktivasi enzim lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Efek antioksidan pada jahe dapat menghambat mekanisme oksidasi LDL-C dengan inhibisi enzim reactive-oxygen-generating sehingga dapat menurunkan risiko aterosklerosis. Studi literatur ini menyimpulkan jahe berperan dalam perubahan profil lipid dan penurunan risiko dislipidemia akibat aterosklerosis. Hal ini dapat menjadi rekomendasi untuk penelitian eksperimental.Dislipidemia merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya penyakit jantung coroner (PJK) yakni aterosklerosis.
