Understanding the reliability of engineering methods is crucial for its adoption and deployment. This research focuses on the reliability of the Power Spectral Density (PSD) method via the use of the F statistic for damage detection. To the author best knowledge, the method is rather classic but its realibility has not been discussed in the context of a large data size. Priory, the research anticipates that the accuracy is a function of the damage level. In this study, we evaluate 3500 cases with five levels of structural integrity, namely, healthy condition and damaged conditions with 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20% damage levels. The dataset is established via a numerical analysis of a seven degree-of-freedom system loaded with a concentrated dynamic force with random magnitude. A spring on the system is reduced in its stiffness to simulate damages. Our significant findings are the following: it is challenging for the PSD-based method to differentiate the healthy condition from the damaged conditions when the damage level is small. However, the reliability is high at 95% probability when the structural integrity has dropped by five percent.

Tumor hypoxia leads to radioresistance and markedly worse clinical outcomes for pediatric malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRTs). Our transcriptomics and bioenergetic profiling data reveal that mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic vulnerability of MRT and can be exploited to overcome consumptive hypoxia by repurposing an FDA-approved antimalarial drug, atovaquone (AVO). We then establish the utility of oxygen-enhanced-multispectral optoacoustic tomography, a label-free, ionizing radiation-free imaging modality, to visualize and quantify spatiotemporal changes in tumor hypoxia in response to AVO. We show a potent but transient increase in tumor oxygenation upon AVO treatment that results in complete elimination of tumors in all tested mice when combined with 10-gray radiotherapy, a dose several times lower than the current clinic standard. Last, we use translational mathematical modeling for systematic evaluation of dosing regimens, administration timing, and therapeutic synergy in a virtual patient cohort. Together, our work establishes a framework for safe and pediatric patient-friendly image-guided metabolic radiosensitization of rhabdoid tumors.

Paper depicts an architecture expansion for communication and data management that can be used in Remote Experimentation and Game-Based Learning. This architecture is compliant with iLab Shared Architecture and is based upon open source software and hardware, in particular low cost platforms such as the Raspberry Pi 3. It consists of three main entities: user-side interface, experiment-side (lab) application and, interconnecting both, the cloud server enhanced with the messaging intermediator. Architecture takes into account typical requirements for educational institutions, such as open-source technologies, remote systems usage management (service brokerage) and security. In trial implementations, three single-user, remotely operated experiments have been enabled using ELSA-Py, in which students will be able to practice concepts of lean production (LyMIE), object position control (Windball) and image calibration (TabRecon). The integration has been tested and the performance of ELSA-Py architecture as a tool do deploy educational remotely operated systems is discussed.

Lauric acid, the phase change material (PCM) in this study, is encapsulated in a silica shell using a modified sol-gel method. Encapsulation was done at varying pH, mixing ratio, drying temperature and drying time. Analysis of variance revealed that all these parameters and their interactions affect the PCM yield and encapsulation ratio. FT-IR and DSC Analysis showed that the microencapsulated PCM (μPCM) formed using 1:1:2 mixing ratio of Tetraethyl orthosilicate: Ethanol: Water, with pH ~1.92 and drying condition of 100°C for 7hr had a latent heat of fusion (207.65 J/g) similar to that of pure PCM with latent heat of fusion of 212.47 J/g ). SEM Analysis and DSC were utilized to confirm the efficiency of encapsulation of PCM. The glass sheet with μPCM and binder was found to have a latent heat of 182.14 J/g and a thermal conductivity of 0.0537 W/mK. The glass with silica microencapsulated lauric acid exhibited potential application for energy conservation.

Without proper coordination, power conditioners within microgrids are prone to suffer from resonance phenomena due to the complex and dynamic interactions among the main grid, nonlinear loads and distributed converters. In addition to the detriment of grid-connected devices and loads, harmonic voltage resonances may also lead to microgrid instability. As a consequence, the steering of distributed power conditioners to diminish voltage distortions and suppress undesired currents has been playing a key role on enhancing the operational stiffness of microgrids. In general, such conditioners are driven by the synthesis of sinusoidal currents independently on the status of voltage waveforms, which may not adequately damp harmonic resonances and still jeopardize system stability. Thus, this work proposes the coordination of multiple parallel power conditioners, which are driven as controlled current sources, through a current-based approach that synthesizes resistive loads, enhancing the system capability to damp voltage resonances, as well as improving power quality within microgrids. Simulation results comprising a single-phase microgrid with resonant and nonlinear loads, as well as two distributed power conditioners, are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
