Wireless Power Transfer Impact on Data Channel
Trabalho apresentado no 23rd International Symposium on Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion (Speedam, 2016), 22-24 junho de 2016, Capri, ItáliaThis paper presents measurement results and analysis of the interference produced by the high-power electromagnetic field in a wireless energy transfer system. Through this analysis it is expected to be possible to evaluate the influence of the strong electromagnetic field on the data transmission channel. The wireless power transfer aimed at electric vehicles battery charging receives a great deal of attention in the recent years. However, the performance of those systems depends on the exchange of information between the transmitter and the receiver, e.g. vehicle identification, frequency, required power, payment information. Thus, it is essential to ensure that the electromagnetic interference, generated by the wireless power transfer system will not influence or disrupt the communication between the transmitter and the receiver.N/
The atmospheric role in the Arctic water cycle: A review on processes, past and future changes, and their impacts
This is the final version of the article. Available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.Atmospheric humidity, clouds, precipitation, and evapotranspiration are essential components of the Arctic climate system. During recent decades, specific humidity and precipitation have generally increased in the Arctic, but changes in evapotranspiration are poorly known. Trends in clouds vary depending on the region and season. Climate model experiments suggest that increases in precipitation are related to global warming. In turn, feedbacks associated with the increase in atmospheric moisture and decrease in sea ice and snow cover have contributed to the Arctic amplification of global warming. Climate models have captured the overall wetting trend but have limited success in reproducing regional details. For the rest of the 21st century, climate models project strong warming and increasing precipitation, but different models yield different results for changes in cloud cover. The model differences are largest in months of minimum sea ice cover. Evapotranspiration is projected to increase in winter but in summer to decrease over the oceans and increase over land. Increasing net precipitation increases river discharge to the Arctic Ocean. Over sea ice in summer, projected increase in rain and decrease in snowfall decrease the surface albedo and, hence, further amplify snow/ice surface melt. With reducing sea ice, wind forcing on the Arctic Ocean increases with impacts on ocean currents and freshwater transport out of the Arctic. Improvements in observations, process understanding, and modeling capabilities are needed to better quantify the atmospheric role in the Arctic water cycle and its changes.We thank all colleagues involved in the

Formation of students' scientific thinking based on the learning of methods of the substance analysis
Introduction. In Federal State Standards of the Higher Education (FSS HE) of the natural-science and technical specialties and also in a number of the corresponding professional standards, the competence in the field of analytical chemistry is specified as one of the main qualification characteristics of an expert/university graduate. It is caused by interdisciplinarity of analytical chemistry and a wide range of application of analysis methods which are used today not only directly on chemical production, but also in power engineering, construction engineering, metallurgy, materials science, standardization, certification, and many other spheres. At the current time, however, there is a big gap between achievements of chemical science and content of high school discipline that reduces quality of staff training demanded in labour market. This discrepancy is caused both by preservation of traditional methodology of teaching chemistry and the reasons of the methodical plan. The aim of the publication is to search for more effective and productive ways of mastering the educational material that is relevant for acquiring the qualifications required from the university graduate. Methodology and research methods. Methodological framework of the article involves the concepts of chemical and natural-science education at the higher school; the principles of the system-based, cognitive, practice-focused and competence-based training. Results and scientific novelty. On the basis of the review and generalization of scientific and methodological resources on the theory and practice of application of the analysis methods of substances from didactic positions, a number of these methods have been singled out and compared; their role and features in determination of a molecule structure and other characteristics of an individual substance and its solutions have been shown. Despite the fact that the work is carried out using known methods of analysis, such a generalization makes it possible to more clearly understand the principles of the choice of a method and the method importance according to the purposes and specifics of the studied object that is essential for formation of research skills during training, as well as for formation of scientific thinking and the required qualification acquisition by graduates of the natural-science and technical specialties. In order to update the acquired knowledge, the examples illustrating applied use of various analysis methods in modern research and production practice have been collected. Tables have been made for a faster perception of the material by methods of analysis for the purpose of an informed choice of the method. Reliance on the principle of tabular collection of material makes it easier to understand the individuality of the method; allows teachers to reduce their workload; and on the part of students, to shorten the time and simplify the procedure of choosing the method of chemical, physicochemical and/or physical analysis. Practical significance. The work is compiled in accordance with the State General Educational Standards of Higher Professional Education, and can be recommended to practising and beginning teachers of higher education institutions, as well as graduate students of chemical specialties. The materials presented in the article can assist in designing the curricula of chemical disciplines or modules of educational programs. © 2018 Obrazovanie i Nauka. All rights reserved
Влияние полного парентерального питания на метаболические процессы в раннем послеоперационном периоде у онкологических больных
Objective: to estimate blood glucose levels during complete parenteral nutrition (CPN), by using the three-in-one system with a high glucose level. Subjects and methods. Thirty adult patients without diabetes mellitus (including 18 men) were examined. Twelve and 18 patients were operated on for colonic and gastric cancers, respectively. CPN (Oliclinomel No. 7 — 1000, 1500 ml; glucose, 240 g in 1500 ml, Baxter, Belgium) was carried out at the Surgery Department in the early postoperative period (3-5 postoperative days) with stable hemodynamics and no organ dysfunction (acute respiratory, renal, hepatic failure). The preparation was administered at a rate of about 83 ml/h over 18 hours. Insulin was not used. Serum glucose concentrations were measured before the study and then for 24 hours at an interval of 6 hours. Results. Glucose concentrations were not found to exceed the allowable values in the majority of patients during CPN at the given rate. In 5 (16.7%) patients, short-term glucose increases up to 13.3 mmol/l were corrected, by decreasing the infusion rate. There was no hypoglycemia or other complications during CPN. Conclusion. Our findings suggest that three-in-one parenteral feeding is safe and causes no metabolic disturbances if simple principles are followed, the basic ones of which are to observe the intake of an adequate total dose and the rate of administration of nutrients. Key words: parenteral feeding, hyperglycemia, metabolic disturbances.Цель исследования — оценить уровень гликемии на фоне проведения полного парентерального питания (ППП) с использованием системы «три в одном» с высоким содержанием глюкозы. Материал и методы. Обследовано 30 взрослых пациентов, не страдавших сахарным диабетом (в т. ч. 18 мужчин). По поводу рака толстой кишки были оперированы 12, по поводу рака желудка — 18 больных. ППП (Оликлиномель №7 — 1000, 1500 мл, глюкоза: 240 г в 1500 мл, «Бакстер», Бельгия) проводилось в условиях хирургического отделения в раннем послеоперационном периоде (3—5 послеоперационные сутки) при стабильной гемодинамике, отсутствии органной недостаточности (острая дыхательная, почечная, печеночная недостаточность). Препарат вводился со скоростью около 83 мл/ч в течение 18 часов. Инсулин не применялся. До начала исследования и далее в течение суток с интервалом в 6 часов оценивалась концентрация глюкозы в сыворотке крови. Результаты. Установлено, что при проведении ППП с установленной скоростью у большинства больных концентрация глюкозы не превышала допустимых значений. Кратковременное повышение глюкозы до 13,3 ммоль/л у 5-и больных (16,7%) корригировалось уменьшением скорости инфузии. При проведении ППП гипогликемии и других осложнений не отмечено. Заключение. Полученные нами данные свидетельствуют о том, что проведение парентерального питания «три в одном» является безопасным и не вызывает метаболических нарушений при соблюдении простых принципов, основными из которых являются соблюдение адекватной общей дозы и скорости введения нутриентов. Ключевые слова: парентеральное питание, гипергликемия, метаболические нарушения
