This document discusses key concepts in database management systems including controlling data redundancy, maintaining data consistency and security, and performing backup and recovery. It also describes common database objects like queries, forms, and reports - including how to create, save, and view them. Queries retrieve data from tables, forms provide a user-friendly interface to enter and view data, and reports output data in a predefined format.
This document compares and contrasts the presentation software PowerPoint and Prezi. PowerPoint allows users to create slide-based presentations with templates and flexibility, but can become stale with overuse. Prezi offers a unique navigable canvas for creativity, is web-based so no software is needed, and provides flexibility, but presentations are public on free accounts and transitions must be carefully planned. Both have advantages and disadvantages for presenting information visually.

2. David learned from his previous failed attempt to bring the Ark to Jerusalem that he did not follow proper procedure. This time he ordered that only Levites carry the Ark as prescribed.
3. Levites and priests sanctified themselves and were ready to carry the Ark by shoulder according to the law, rather than by cart as before. Musicians and officers were also appointed to welcome the Ark with music and songs.
This document evaluates hardware platforms and path replanning strategies for emergency landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It compares the performance of greedy heuristic, genetic algorithm, and ensemble methods on personal computer and embedded computer hardware when responding to critical situations like motor or battery failure. The genetic algorithm and ensemble genetic algorithm-genetic algorithm method achieved the best results overall, finding near optimal emergency routes. Testing was done in simulation and with a real UAV to validate the approaches.
Different passive microwave soil moisture retrieval algorithms can give different results because they make different assumptions and use different input parameters. The single-channel algorithm is highly sensitive to errors in the optical depth estimate, while the land parameter retrieval model and multi-channel inversion algorithm are less sensitive as they estimate additional parameters from multiple frequencies. An uncertainty analysis found that varying temperatures and brightness temperatures within realistic error bounds did not significantly impact soil moisture retrievals from the land parameter retrieval model or multi-channel inversion algorithm, but did impact the single-channel algorithm.
Hopfield neural network based selective harmonic elimination for h bridgeIAEME Publication
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes using a Hopfield neural network to generate switching angles for selective harmonic elimination (SHE) in an H-bridge inverter. The paper first describes the conventional Newton-Raphson method for calculating switching angles to eliminate specific harmonics. It then introduces using a Hopfield neural network as an alternative method that has advantages like faster response time and ability to dynamically adjust the switching angles. The paper outlines the Hopfield neural network algorithm and compares simulation results between the two methods, showing the neural network approach produces switching angles that achieve similar harmonic elimination as the conventional method.

Robust PID Controller Design for Non-Minimum Phase Systems using Magnitude Op...IRJET Journal
This document discusses two approaches for designing a controller for non-minimum phase systems: 1) the magnitude optimum and multiple integration method, and 2) a numerical optimization approach. The magnitude optimum method uses areas calculated from the process step response to determine the PID controller parameters, eliminating the need to estimate process parameters directly. The numerical optimization approach formulates the controller design as an optimization problem to minimize sensitivity functions in the closed-loop system. Both approaches are presented as ways to design robust controllers for non-minimum phase systems.
Design of frequency selective surface comprising of dipoles using artificial ...IJAAS Team
This paper depicts the design of Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) comprising of dipoles using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). It has been observed that with the change of the dimensions and periodicity of FSS, the resonating frequency of the FSS changes. This change in resonating frequency has been studied and investigated using simulation software. The simulated data were used to train the proposed ANN models. The trained ANN models are found to predict the FSS characteristics precisely with negligible error. Compared to traditional EM simulation softwares (like ANSOFT Designer), the proposed technique using ANN models is found to significantly reduce the FSS design complexity and computational time. The FSS simulations were made using ANSOFT Designer v2 software and the neural network was designed using MATLAB software.

This document describes and compares two algorithms, Recursive Least Squares (RLS) and Least Mean Squares (LMS), for performing real-time active noise cancellation using adaptive filters. It discusses how each algorithm works, presenting the key equations. Simulations using Simulink show that RLS outperforms LMS in convergence rate and steady-state performance but at the cost of higher computational complexity. The document concludes that RLS and LMS show similar performance in simulations, with RLS achieving the optimal solution over time for noise cancellation applications.
Optimum Algorithm for Computing the Standardized Moments Using MATLAB 7.10(R2...Waqas Tariq
A fundamental task in many statistical analyses is to characterize the location and variability of a data set. A further characterization of the data includes skewness and kurtosis. This paper emphasizes the real time computational problem for generally the rth standardized moments and specially for both skewness and kurtosis. It has therefore been important to derive an optimum computational technique for the standardized moments. A new algorithm has been designed for the evaluation of the standardized moments. The evaluation of error analysis has been discussed. The new algorithm saved computational energy by approximately 99.95% than that of the previously published algorithms.

This document discusses frequency response and Bode plots. It explains that:
- The frequency response describes a system's steady-state response to sinusoidal inputs of varying frequency.
- Bode plots use log-log graphs to show the magnitude and phase characteristics of a system's frequency response.
- Common factors in transfer functions and their effects on Bode plots are described, including gain, poles, and zeros.
- Key concepts like gain margin, phase margin, stability, and the process of creating Bode and polar plots are outlined.
The document presents an aircraft gas turbine engine (GTE) condition monitoring system that uses fuzzy logic and neural networks. At the preliminary stage of monitoring, when data is limited and uncertain, fuzzy logic and neural networks are used to estimate GTE condition. Fuzzy multiple linear and nonlinear regression models are developed to more adequately model GTE technical condition. Skewness and kurtosis coefficients of the distributions of GTE operational parameters are analyzed, showing their fuzzy character. Fuzzy correlation and regression analyses are also used. The system provides stage-by-stage estimation of engine technical condition. Testing on a new operating engine estimated its temperature condition accurately.

This document presents a genetic algorithm approach for mission and safety planning with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It combines two existing genetic algorithm architectures - a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA4m) for mission path planning and a multi-population genetic algorithm (MPGA4s) for replanning paths under critical situations. The proposed approach embeds both architectures into a single hardware system called MOSA (Mission Oriented Sensor Array) for mission supervision and IFA (In-Flight Awareness) for safety supervision. Computational results show the approach can find good solutions for both path planning and replanning within hardware limitations of onboard processors.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
