CFD Analysis Results for CO2 Washout in the Exploration Space Suit
No full textTucson, ArizonaThe 44th International Conference on Environmental Systems was held in Tuscon, Arizona, USA on 13 July 2014 through 17 July 2014.Tyler Ball, Paragon Space Development Corporation, USAAmish Thaker, Thaker Simulation Technologies LLC, USAJohn Fricker, Oceaneering Space Systems, USAAn Exploration Space Suit has been modeled using computational fluid dynamics to evaluate options for the orientation and location of the fresh vent gas inlet that provides CO2 (carbon dioxide) washout. A transient, multi-species, sinusoidal breathing model was employed to simulate breathing. Several options were presented which used various methods to aid in washout with the best results coming from what was described as the Tri Vents configuration. Several geometric and metabolic perturbations were imposed on the baseline Tri Vents model to determine the sensitivity of the solution. Turning the head 45° had a similarly negative impact to CO2 washout as breathing primarily out of the mouth. Tipping the head forward was beneficial as it put the face closer to the refreshed gas, while tipping the head forward and pressing the chest against the front of the suit had marginally worse results. Three different metabolic rates were explored and the relationship between metabolic rate and CO2 washout performance was determined

No full textAotearoa New Zealand Public Responses to COVID-19
No full textThis report is based on findings from a national survey conducted by the School of Communication, Journalism & Marketing—Te Pou Aro Kōrero, Massey University and fielded by Qualtrics. Interview dates: June 26 to July 13, 2020, after New Zealand moved to Alert Level 1. Interviews: 1040 adults (18+). Average margin of error: +/- 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. The research was funded by the Massey University.
Survey results show one in three New Zealanders impacted by job and income loss due to COVID-19
The findings of a recent nationally representative survey by Massey University reveals one in three New Zealanders or a member in their household lost income from a job or business or had their work hours reduced, as a result of COVID-19.
The survey, Aotearoa New Zealand Public Responses to Covid-19, investigated how New Zealanders have been impacted by the global pandemic, including everything from job and income losses, depression, their attitudes towards immigration in a post-COVID-19 New Zealand and their response to Government actions.
The Massey University-funded survey was led by two lecturers in the School of Communication, Journalism and Marketing, Drs. Jagadish Thaker and Vishnu Menon.
“The purpose of this research was to find out how New Zealanders were coping with the lockdown and some of the flow on effects they are experiencing as a result,” says Dr. Thaker. More than 1000 people completed the survey during Alert Level 1.
The findings showed Māori were twice or more likely to say they or a household member had lost a job (20 per cent compared to 11 per cent of New Zealand Europeans—a census category) while 34 per cent were unable to pay monthly bills, more than double New Zealand Europeans at 14 per cent.
Almost half of respondents reported having trouble sleeping, experiencing depression, or were cut off from their social networks. A third of respondents also said they had lost money in retirement accounts or investment.
Nine in ten New Zealanders think there will be more job losses in the next six months.
One of the most surprising findings, the researchers say, was New Zealanders’ attitudes to immigration and tourists coming to the country. More than eight out of 10 New Zealanders strongly supported (88 per cent) stopping immigration from countries that have poorly managed their response to the virus, like the U.S. Meanwhile, seven out of 10 respondents supported reducing immigration and stopping tourists from China
Multispectral Deep Neural Network for Low Light Object Detection
No full textIn recent years, multi-modal object detection has garnered attention in the research community for automotive and surveillance applications. Visual and infrared image fusion has demonstrated promising results for object detection in adverse weather and lighting conditions due to infrared cameras being robust against illumination challenges. However, there is still a lack of studies on effectively fusing two modalities for optimal object detection performance. This thesis presents a novel approach to fuse visual and infrared images using Faster R-CNN with Feature Pyramid Network. The proposed network fuses visual and infrared channel features using concatenation operation. In addition to our proposal, we conduct comprehensive ablation experiments on KAIST and FLIR datasets. Our ablation experiments include fusion analysis using addition and concatenation operator at varying stages of the network. Our proposal and ablation experiments are evaluated on mean Average Precision (mAP), and Log-average miss rate (MR) evaluation metrics. Our extensive evaluation of the proposed framework demonstrates that our framework outperforms the current state-of-the-art benchmarks.Master of Science in Engineering (MSE)Electrical Engineering, College of Engineering & Computer ScienceUniversity of Michigan-Dearbornhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/171092/1/Keval Thaker Final Thesis.pd
Analysis of Pump Size and Dripping System of Rotating Vertical Garden
No full textBy Parth Thaker This project is focused on indoor farming and considering the handicapped people so that they can perform indoor farming. Also this project is covering the issue of land in some countries for farming so they can build a vertical garden by flooring instead of using the land. Sky Greens revolutionized the farming industry in Singapore. They built upwards instead of sideways due to the fact that Singapore does not have much land for farming. Getting inspired, the farming company helps out disabled people in gardening. Our team come up with “Rotating Vertical Garden” concept. My personal focus in this project was on Dripping Irrigation system and Analysis of Pump size. To help to grow the plant in system we have placed the dripping system. After brainstorming with professor and doing some research I came up with this idea. By using dripping system, we can control the wastage of water plus in hour drippers provide 3 to 4 gallon of water, which is suitable for any plant. Also the pump size is important factor in this project that once the water comes out then at the same time we required to fill the bucket with the same amount of water. I did some analysis and came up with the suitable pump that can keep providing the water from bottom to top in required time
