Simulation of 3D concrete printing using an implicit formulation of the moving particle semi-implicit method

Additive construction techniques, such as 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP), offer significant advantages, as reduced material waste, optimized construction times, and the possibility to create complex shapes that would be difficult to achieve through conventional methods. Despite the advances in 3DCP, some challenges persist due to the still incipient development to predict the printing results. The fresh properties of the material play a crucial role. Therefore, in addition to experimental studies, numerical modeling emerges as a valuable tool to investigate the dynamic aspects of the extrusion process in 3DCP. However, the numerical modeling of 3DCP is challenging due to the complex rheological behavior of the self-supporting concrete, which typically exhibits high values of apparent viscosity at low deformation rates. To address these challenges, we adopted the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method, which is a particle-based simulation technique suitable for modeling free surface flows and materials undergoing large deformations. As a Lagrangian approach, MPS discretizes the computational domain into particles that move according to the governing equations of fluid motion. The conventional formulation of the MPS presents numerical restrictions when dealing with highly viscous fluids. To assure numerical stability, the semi-implicit approach requires very low time steps, resulting in high processing costs. In this way, this study adopts an implicit algorithm that allows for significantly larger time steps, resulting in reduced processing time compared to the conventional semi-implicit formulation. To validate the implicit algorithm, simulations of non-Newtonian flow between parallel plates were validated using analytical solutions, demonstrating better accuracy at lower Bingham numbers. The 3DCP simulations were conducted to describe the flow of fresh mortar using the Bingham-Papanastasiou constitutive model. The geometry of the 3D model includes the extrusion nozzle and a planar surface where concrete is printed. The numerical investigation involved simulations with different nozzle heights (Hn), printing speeds (V), and extrusion volumetric fluxes (U). The cross-sectional shapes of the extruded layers were compared with experimental data, showing qualitative agreement. The results demonstrate the potential of the implicit MPS method for modeling 3DCP processes.

Periconception folic acid supplement use in Northern Ireland: A longitudinal analysis of maternity healthcare data 2015-2020

Folic acid supplement use is involved in the prevention of neural tube defects, the most common major malformations of the central nervous system(1). Women with childbearing potential are advised to take supplements containing 400mcg/day of folic acid in the period preceding pregnancy until the 12th week of pregnancy, while some women (e.g., women with obesity) require a higher dose of 5mg/day(2). Despite these public health recommendations, there is limited translation to folic acid supplement use behaviours(3). In Northern Ireland, data on women’s selfreported periconception folic acid supplement use can be accessed via the Northern Ireland MATernity System. Using this dataset, the current study reports trends of periconception folic acid supplement use (2015-2020), exploring differences based on women’s age, deprivation, pregnancy planning, gravida, and body mass index (BMI) at their antenatal booking appointment.R, accessed via the UK Secure eResearch Platform, was used to calculate yearly proportions of selfreported periconception folic acid supplement use. To comply with disclosure controls, only complete cases were retained for analyses. When necessary, years were combined (e.g., instead of yearly prevalences, data on BMI was analysed in 2015-2016, 2017-2018, and 2019-2020) and numerical restrictions were applied (e.g., BMI was restricted to values between 14-70kg/m2). Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement strategies were adopted throughout the study.Analyses included 132,205 pregnancies. Under a third of pregnancies were primigravida (30.90%), and less than half of pregnancies were conceived by women with a BMI within the healthy range (44.75%). In most cases (58.96%), folic acid supplement use was initiated after, rather than before, conception. Preconception supplement use of 400mcg of folic acid declined between 2015 and 2020 (34.40%-30.03%) and was especially low in young women (i.e., <25 years old), women living in the most deprived areas, and women who did not report planning their pregnancy. Although postconception supplement use of 400mcg also declined, trends exhibited a slight increase in the last year (2019: 51.38%; 2020: 53.94%). Preconception and postconception use of supplements containing 5mg of folic acid increased throughout the study period (3.57%-4.98% and 4.02%-7.67%, respectively). The most notable increase was observed among women with obesity, especially those with BMI≥40kg/m2 (preconception: 8.31%-15.70%; postconception: 23.05%-37.97%).Overall, these analyses of routinely collected maternity data indicate that folic acid supplement use before pregnancy remains suboptimal in Northern Ireland. The use of higher-dose supplements (5mg/day) is increasing for specific population groups, but it remains at a concerning low level particularly in the preconception period. Although based on women’s self-reported folic acid supplement use, these findings can provide valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare professionals, informing the development of future interventions and campaigns. These may include long-term awareness-raising initiatives and preconception support for all women, especially at-risk groups.

Bridging Data Models in Health Care With a Novel Intermediate Query Format for Feasibility Queries: Mixed Methods Study.

To advance research with clinical data, it is essential to make access to the available data as fast and easy as possible for researchers, which is especially challenging for data from different source systems within and across institutions. Over the years, many research repositories and data standards have been created. One of these is the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard, used by the German Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) to harmonize and standardize data across university hospitals in Germany. One of the first steps to make these data available is to allow researchers to create feasibility queries to determine the data availability for a specific research question. Given the heterogeneity of different query languages to access different data across and even within standards such as FHIR (eg, CQL and FHIR Search), creating an intermediate query syntax for feasibility queries reduces the complexity of query translation and improves interoperability across different research repositories and query languages. This study describes the creation and implementation of an intermediate query syntax for feasibility queries and how it integrates into the federated German health research portal (Forschungsdatenportal Gesundheit) and the MII. We analyzed the requirements for feasibility queries and the feasibility tools that are currently available in research repositories. Based on this analysis, we developed an intermediate query syntax that can be easily translated into different research repository-specific query languages. The resulting Clinical Cohort Definition Language (CCDL) for feasibility queries combines inclusion criteria in a conjunctive normal form and exclusion criteria in a disjunctive normal form, allowing for additional filters like time or numerical restrictions. The inclusion and exclusion results are combined via an expression to specify feasibility queries. We defined a JSON schema for the CCDL, generated an ontology, and demonstrated the use and translatability of the CCDL across multiple studies and real-world use cases. We developed and evaluated a structured query syntax for feasibility queries and demonstrated its use in a real-world example as part of a research platform across 39 German university hospitals.

Balanced Federated Semisupervised Learning With Fairness-Aware Pseudo-Labeling.

Federated semisupervised learning (FSSL) aims to train models with both labeled and unlabeled data in the federated settings, enabling performance improvement and easier deployment in realistic scenarios. However, the nonindependently identical distributed data in clients leads to imbalanced model training due to the unfair learning effects on different classes. As a result, the federated model exhibits inconsistent performance on not only different classes, but also different clients. This article presents a balanced FSSL method with the fairness-aware pseudo-labeling (FAPL) strategy to tackle the fairness issue. Specifically, this strategy globally balances the total number of unlabeled data samples which is capable to participate in model training. Then, the global numerical restrictions are further decomposed into personalized local restrictions for each client to assist the local pseudo-labeling. Consequently, this method derives a more fair federated model for all clients and gains better performance. Experiments on image classification datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the state-of-the-art FSSL methods.

SUBCOMPLEXES OF CERTAIN FREE RESOLUTIONS

Abstract We invoke the Bernstein–Gel $'$ fand–Gel $'$ fand (BGG) correspondence to study subcomplexes of free resolutions given by two well-known complexes, the Koszul and the Eagon–Northcott. This approach provides a complete characterization of the ranks of free modules in a subcomplex in the Koszul case and imposes numerical restrictions in the Eagon–Northcott case.

Projective manifolds whose tangent bundle is Ulrich

In this article, we give numerical restrictions on the Chern classes of Ulrich bundles on higher-dimensional manifolds, which are inspired by the results of Casnati in the case of surfaces. As a by-product, we prove that the only projective manifolds whose tangent bundle is Ulrich are the twisted cubic and the Veronese surface. Moreover, we prove that the cotangent bundle is never Ulrich.

Circuit Design of Counting Electronic Scale Based on STC89C51 Single Chip Microcomputer

The main purpose of electronic scales is to measure, which can also be said to be for trading. Electronic scales have their relevant numerical measurement value restrictions when they are used. Therefore, they can only be used effectively within the measurement value range when they are used. As long as the weight does not exceed the measurement limit, they can be used at will. This measurement method greatly improves the measurement speed and the user's trading speed. STC89C51 single chip microcomputer as an 8-bit single chip microcomputer, first of all, the price is relatively low. The number of pins of 51 single chip microcomputer is up to 40. After subtracting some power supplies and special pins, 32 pins can be used, and all 32 pins can be used as input and output pins. Therefore, the performance price ratio of 51 single chip microcomputer is relatively high. At the same time, the application circuit of 51 single chip microcomputer is relatively simple, and only the crystal oscillator circuit and reset circuit are needed to achieve work. Besides, 51 single chip microcomputer also has serial communication, timer, external interrupt and other on-chip resources, which can meet the special requirements of some systems. Finally, in terms of programming, the 51 single-chip microcomputer can be used only after loading the header file, without configuring the input and output ports, and is also very convenient in programming. Therefore, STC89C51 single chip microcomputer is used as the basis and Proteus and KILL software are used to realize the design of electronic scales.

Three-dimensional finite element simulation and experimental validation of sliding wear

Wear tests involving thousands of operating cycles can be impractical and costly. Therefore, the use of numerical methods to predict surface evolution due to wear can be a good alternative. A generalised three-dimensional finite element (FE) method is presented here to determine the wear of mechanical components. The method is tested and validated against the results obtained from the ball on disc sliding tests performed on different materials and in different conditions, with the aim to predict the wear profiles of the ball and disc. The wear simulation procedure is, for simplicity, based on Archard’s wear law and is implemented in a commercial FE package, ABAQUS. The developed methods are appropriate for 3D surfaces and the wear profiles are based on the accurate determination of the contact pressure. The surface evolutions of both contacting bodies are calculated simultaneously. The generation of artificial roughening of the worn surfaces due to numerical restrictions of element sizes is minimised using a local smoothening procedure. The developed methods are compared with the results obtained for reciprocating sliding tests, which result in wear of few microns wear depths, and continuous sliding tests, which result in tens of microns wear depths. The results were generally in good agreement with the test, with the maximum discrepancy of ∼ 10% in all indicators used, considering the statistical error margin of the tests. The developed method is versatile and applicable to a wide range of sliding wear tests. The model can be updated to consider both more complex material descriptions and to incorporate tribofilm or oxide layer growth or removal.

Російська імперія в боротьбі з османським спадком: упокорення корінних народів Північного Причорномор’я

The article examines the establishment and maintenance of control by the Russian Empire over the territories of the annexed Crimean Khanate. Based on a comprehensive analysis of documents stored in Russian archives, travel notes and research by Ukrainian, Russian, German and British authors, it was found that the first important step in achieving this goal was the formation of a puppet government of Shagin Giray. With his help, the Russian Empire legitimized the presence of its own troops and the occupation administration in the region. As a result of the annexation of the Crimean peninsula, there were changes in the economic and political status of the indigenous peoples of the Northern Black Sea region, which consisted of depriving them of their rights and numerical restrictions. This led to the deployment of an anti-Russian national movement, which in turn prompted imperial government circles to develop a set of measures to maintain control over the region. Special attention is paid to the methods of subjugation of indigenous peoples, in particular the Crimean Tatars, Nogais, Greeks, Armenians. In the course of the research it was found that in order to solve the set tasks Russia managed to establish control over the local elites, physically destroy the Crimean Tatars and Nogais, deprive them of property, and push them out of the empire. At the same time, the tsar introduced various measures of assimilation, in particular: resettlement, the use of some ethnic groups in the struggle against others (the principle of “divide and rule”), religious pressure. All this led to the destruction of the traditional culture and way of life of the indigenous peoples of the Northern Black Sea coast. During the 19th century, the Russian Empire began to impose its own political, economic and mental traditions. By creating mythologemes and ideologemes, and enshrining them in the mass consciousness, the tsar formed a new reality and distorted the collective historical memory. The means of rooting imperial myths were the transformation of Orthodox churches into places of honor of the ruling dynasty, military victories and the Russian army, the construction of pantheons for the heroes of wars of aggression, and so on. The Church, carrying out the tasks set by the state, formed intolerance towards the Islamic population, consolidated the ideological division into “Orthodox” and “Busurman”, “liberators” and “enslavers”.

ПЕРЕОСМИСЛЕННЯ МАРКЕТИНГУ У СФЕРІ ТУРИЗМУ ПІД ВПЛИВОМ ПАНДЕМІЇ COVID-19

The motivational component of consumer behavior in the process of obtaining tourist services during the period of pandemic threats of COVID-19 is considered. Processes of purchasing services have been studied. The marketing mechanism of the process of providing services to the target audience has been improved to stimulate potential consumers to purchase tourist services. The unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on the tourism sector of the economy has been documented by numerous studies in countries around the world. The improvement in the situation over the last year and a half is mainly due to the fact that travelers are happy to travel after a long break due to numerical restrictions. But the pandemic changed not only the attitudes and habits of consumers, but also pushed for the transformation of social norms. The decision to purchase travel services began to be based on the resolution of the internal conflict between the desire for pleasure, the safety of the trip, and the cost of the purchase. A new wave of customer dissatisfaction is likely when loyalty is on the brink of collapse. In addition, the operational capabilities of travel agencies and operators in Ukraine are limited, problems with air connections are significant, hotel services require additional coordination. Under these conditions, the key factor in the market success of tourist services is marketing tools that take into account the motivational features of the behavior of modern consumers. According to the theory of consumer choice, any consumer wants to maximize utility. But taking into account the high degree of use of the information space by the majority of members of the domestic society, it is necessary to take into account the high degree of consumer awareness when assessing the possibilities for making flexible decisions that are adequate for each current moment. In this way, the consumer's behavior corresponds to the classical approach, which takes into account the unlimited cognitive possibilities, that is, when the potential possibilities of rationality are transformed into real behavior under the influence of information technologies. However, an excessive amount of information creates a contradictory situation for the consumer, when, on the one hand, a large volume of information increases the degree of probability of receiving among it the one that is most valuable for him, and on the other hand, the large volume itself creates difficulties in finding and selection of the necessary. Thus, the prerequisites for making a suboptimal decision are created. Nowadays, representatives of the international scientific community have most deeply and thoroughly studied the socio-economic situation that was formed during the period of the beginning and unfolding of the pandemic in 2019-2021. In the same period of time, we conducted our own research of these processes on the example of the territorially limited region of the city of Dnipro. At the same time, it can be considered sufficiently representative for Ukraine in terms of consumer behavior based on the size of the sample and coverage of different social strata of the population. Research has shown the presence of a new main trend that has appeared in the behavior of consumers of tourist services. Decision-making process began to be based on resolving the internal conflict between the desire for security and comfort when receiving a service. Based on these principles, a new approach to the use of well-known marketing tools was proposed, which in its totality and taking into account the proposed features of each of them allowed to create a new protocol of traveler service.

Верификация расчётов динамической устойчивости энергорайонов с распределёнными генерирующими объектами

One of the trends in the global energy sector is the penetration of distributed generating units (distributed generation - DG). The ongoing transformation of electric power systems (EPS) due to this leads to a significant change in the properties of power systems. Problems arise with ensuring the main condition for the reliability and survivability of energy regions with DG and EPS units as a whole - sustainability. Moreover, one of the main tasks remains to provide it with great indignation. The main direction of solving this problem is mathematical modeling. However, the necessary mathematical model EPS of real dimension contains a rigid nonlinear system of differential equations of an extremely high order. To improve the conditionality of the EPS mathematical model in numerical integration, simplifications and restrictions are inevitably used, which reduce the completeness and reliability of the obtained simulation results. In this regard, it becomes necessary to validate them. The article proposes an alternative to the existing direction of validation, based on the use of a model standard instead of field data. This validation makes it possible to reveal the influence of the applied simplifications and restrictions in the numerical simulation on the quality of solving the problems of estimating the stability of EPS with DG under a large disturbance. The studies presented in the article were carried out using the example of an energy region with DG units, which is part of an EPS of real dimension, and demonstrate the arising errors in calculating stability with a large disturbance, the nature of their change and the reasons for their occurrence, as well as influencing factors.

The probability of commuting subgroups in arbitrary lattices of subgroups

A finite group $G$‎, ‎in which two randomly chosen subgroups $H$ and $K$ commute‎, ‎has been classified by Iwasawa in 1941‎. ‎It is possible to define a probabilistic notion‎, ‎which ``measures the distance'' of $G$ from the groups of Iwasawa‎. ‎Here we introduce the generalized subgroup commutativity degree $gsd(G)$ for two arbitrary sublattices $mathrm{S}(G)$ and $mathrm{T}(G)$ of the lattice of subgroups $mathrm{L}(G)$ of $G$‎. ‎Upper and lower bounds for $gsd(G)$ are shown and we study the behaviour of $gsd(G)$ with respect to subgroups and quotients‎, ‎showing new numerical restrictions‎.

Ekman boundary layers in a fluid filled precessing cylinder

The fluid flow in a precessing cylinder is investigated numerically with focus on the Ekman boundary layers in the strongly forced regime. Not surprisingly, in that regime, we find deviations from the linear theory due to significant modifications of the base flow in terms of an axisymmetric geostrophic mode whose rotation is opposite to that of the container. The transition of the bulk flow from a three-dimensional non-axisymmetric base flow to a geostrophic axisymmetric pattern is reflected in the scaling of both the sidewall boundary layers and the Ekman boundary layers on top and bottom of the cylinder. In our simulations, the Ekman layers surpass the threshold of the first instability (class A) and show an increase in the thickness together with a marked vertical flow advection inside the boundary layer in a limited range of the forcing magnitude. However, due to numerical restrictions in our simulations, which limit the range of achievable Ekman numbers, no developed boundary layer turbulence is found. An estimation by extrapolation shows that, for this purpose, Ekman numbers smaller by a factor of two have to be achieved.

English Abstract: By signing the WTO Agreement on January 1, 1995, India incorporated the agricultural sector into the process of globalization. In this regard, a secret agreement was reached between India and the United States on December 16, 1999, and India had to lift the numerical restrictions on its protected 715 agricultural commodities. The concept of globalization has been realized through the GATT Agreement, the Dunkel Proposal, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Bank. Since the rules of TRIPS apply to living things, patents can be proposed for genes, cells, seeds, plants, and animals. According to the Structural Adjustment Program launched by the World Trade Organization (WTO), the policy pursued by the Government of India is detrimental to rural agriculture. In 1920.21, the per capita cultivable area has decreased from 1.11 acres to only 0.32 acres per capita, while the share of the non-agricultural area has increased from 196.6 lakh hectares to 244.8 hectares. This has a clear effect on the overall agricultural production.

Método de Reducción de Incertidumbre Basado en Algoritmos Evolutivos y Paralelismo Orientado a la Predicción y Prevención de Desastres Naturales

La falta de precisión en los parámetros de entrada en cualquier modelo científico suele ser habitual debido a la imposibilidad de cuantificar todos los factores que afectan al modelo en tiempo real. Esto puede producir consecuencias dramáticas en la salida del mismo si se trata de un sistema crítico, tal como lo es en el caso particular de la predicción de fenómenos naturales. No obstante, también deben sumarse las limitaciones impuestas por los propios modelos, las restricciones que agregan las soluciones numéricas y las provenientes de las propias implementaciones y versiones informáticas. Por tal motivo, esta investigación se ha centrado enel desarrollo de métodos informáticos que se enfoquen en el tratamiento de la incertidumbre de dichos valores de entrada para lograr así una predicción lo más confiable posible por parte del modelo. En base a esto, se han desarrollado dos métodos de reducción de incertidumbre que han sido validados en la predicción del comportamiento de incendios forestales. Dichos métodos utilizan como componentes: Análisis Estadístico, Algoritmos Evolutivos Paralelos, Computación de Alto Desempeño e Información Satelital. El análisis estadístico ofrece la posibilidad de estudiar tendencias en el comportamiento del sistema bajo diversas condiciones, los algoritmos evolutivos paralelos permiten orientar la búsqueda brindando una predicción más precisa, la computación paralela/distribuida brinda infraestructura necesaria para poder llevar a cabo el procesamiento en cantidad de tiempo razonable y la información satelital permite aplicar estos métodos situaciones de emergencia real. Cada uno de estos componentes son indispensables para lograr valores aceptables tanto en términos de calidad de predicción como términos de tiempo de respuesta de los métodos propuestos.

Modelling of surface river plume using set-up and input data files of Delft-3D model.

This data article presents set-up and input data files to model a surface river plume through curvilinear nested grid in double-way mode. The hydrodynamic modelling in river deltas with intense transport processes and complex bathymetry such as the Magdalena River delta, requires a mesh grid that ease the natural river discharge into the ocean. The aforementioned may be challenging due to the numerical scheme and stability restrictions of the numerical models that difficult having efficient and effective validated simulations. This dataset files are a reference to perform analysis of the hydrodynamic river deltas, meaningful for optimizing time and resources, easing the planning of measurement campaigns what reduce risks of the personnel and instrumentation during equipment deployment and field work .The application of the set-up and input data files of this data article is shown in Rueda-Bayona et al. [1].

Dual-phase-lag heat conduction in FG carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composites

The numerical simulation of non-Fourier, dual-phase-lag (DPL) heat conduction in carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced composites has been performed by developing the differential quadrature method (DQM) application. Although using the non-Fourier heat conduction has become popular, most of the simulations are conducted over simple geometries due to numerical restrictions. DQM copes with this problem easily even with complicated boundary conditions. The proposed method discretizes the time domain in the form of blocks. Each block contains several time levels, and each block needs to solve separately by using the output of one block as an initial condition of the next block. The effect of volume fraction of CNT on the temperature and heat flux profile is investigated, and all parameters are considered temperature dependent. To show the influence of time lag parameters, the Fourier, hyperbolic heat conduction and DPL heat conduction models were compared. Furthermore, various types of dynamic thermal loading have been examined to obtain the transient temperature distributions. We show the presence of heat wave in DPL heat conduction by considering the time lag parameter in the microstructural interactions of fast transient heat conduction. It is found that considering the mechanical properties of the CNTs dependent to the temperature is crucial to obtain accurate results.
