A Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS) Training Facility utilising SMA Sunny Island Inverter technology and National Instruments measurement package
No full textRAPS systems can sometimes be a cheaper alternative for supplying power than connection to a distant utility. Most assuredly it is a cleaner method of producing electricity than coal or gas constituents, provided the diesel generator is used minimally. A modern RAPS system will generally have several sources of generation, typically they might be; solar, wind and a diesel/petrol generator coupled with a battery to store excess power. The RAPS 2 system at Murdoch University was selected for an overhaul early in 2010. The system was redesigned to include new inverter technology from SMA. The new system relies on 3 separate inverters to convert the sources directly into grid quality electricity, as opposed to some traditional RAPS systems that would have most of its elements feed a DC bus that connected to a single inverter. This novel way of setting up a mini grid finds its niche in situations when the terrain or meteorological conditions make it impractical to have generation equipment all localised and a DC bus would have higher associated cable losses.
For such a system to be of educational benefit to tertiary students, the variables within the system must be able to be monitored. To this end an advanced measurement system has been designed and procured so that every measurable point in the upgraded system is available for display.
The measurement system was designed using National Instruments compact DAQ (data acquisition) hardware, one of the first of its type to be introduced to the university. The compact DAQ unit has been coupled with isolation equipment supplied by Dataforth, which already has an existing prevalence throughout the engineering department. The subsequent measurement program monitors 31 system variables at a high sampling rate to provide real time information on the state of the system. The measurement program also monitors relevant meteorological aspects such as the solar irradiance and local wind speed.
This report documents and details the steps taken to set up a new and novel RAPS system. Discussed are the approaches taken throughout the semester to project manage and facilitate progress. A detailed description is also given of the measurement and protection system that has been designed to allow students and the general public to get a good grasp on the performance of the system

Развитие амилоидного лихена у пациентки с атопическим дерматитом
No full textThe article considers a case of cutaneous amyloidosis that occurred in the setting of atopic dermatitis in a 32-year-old female patient. The patient has suffered from atopic dermatitis since the first months of her life, and homeopathic preparations have been used for treatment. Treatment with conventional medications and physiotherapy at the age of 20 years old resulted in a long-term remission, however, the patient noticed skin thickening in the areas of former rashes. Pathological examination of skin biopsy material and histochemical examination (hematoxylin and eosin, Van Gieson, toluidine blue, Congo red staining, PAS reaction) allowed to diagnose amyloid lichen. Amyloid lichen is a rare and severe complication of atopic dermatitis. Its incidence in patients with atopic dermatitis is approximately 0.8%. Contemporary methods of treating patients with atopic dermatitis accompanied by cutaneous amyloidosis are discussed. Topical products aimed at relieving inflammation and itching are used for initial treatment of amyloid lichen. Surgical treatments, as well as laser and phototherapy, may be used. Systemic medications (antihistamines, acitretin, cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine, upadacitinib, baricitinib) are an effective treatment option. Successful use of biological agents (dupilumab) has been reported.Представлено описание 32-летней пациентки с атопическим дерматитом, на фоне которого развился амилоидоз кожи. Пациентка больна атопическим дерматитом с первых месяцев жизни, для лечения применялись гомеопатические препараты. В результате лечения, проведенного традиционными медикаментозными и физиотерапевтическими средствами в возрасте 20 лет, наступила длительная ремиссия, но пациентка обратила внимание на уплотнение кожи в участках бывших высыпаний. Использование патологоанатомического исследования биопсийного материала кожи и гистохимическое исследование (окраски гематоксилин-эозином, по Ван Гизону, толуидиновым синим, конго красным, ШИК-реакция) позволили установить диагноз амилоиднного лихена. Амилоидный лихен является редким и тяжелым осложнением атопического дерматита. Частота его встречаемости у пациентов с атопическим дерматитом составляет приблизительно 0,8%. Обсуждены современные методы терапии больных атопическим дерматитом, сопровождающимся амилоидозом кожи. Для начального лечения амилоидного лихена используются топические препараты, направленные на купирование воспаления и зуда. Возможно применение хирургических методов лечения, а также лазеро- и фототерапии. Эффективным способом лечения являются системные препараты (антигистаминные препараты, ацитретин, циклофосфамид и циклоспорин, упадацитиниб, барицитиниб). Сообщалось об успешном применении биологических препаратов (дупилумаб)
WebWriter: A System to Author and Remix Explorables – Requirements & First Prototype
No full textActive and personalized learning requires that teachers can remix a wide variety of sources into new learning resources, which in turn may be customized by students. While this is well-supported for paper-oriented resources, multimodal, interactive learning resources for digital use, called explorables, are much more difficult to author and remix. In this paper, we derive a set of requirements for a system to author such explorables from a workshop-based study. We further present a first prototype of such a system, called “WebWriter”
Un anello ebraico in bronzo da Porto Torres (sec. IV-V e.v.), e l'epigrafe di Anabatia rinvenuta a Gerace (sec. XIV), con una nota su una lucerna funeraria ebraica da Licata (secc. IV-V e.v.)
No full textThe study presents a number of new archaeological discoveries of Jewish artifacts and proposes a new reading of an already known inscription. Perani, author of Part I, describes a recently discovered Jewish bronze ring from Porto Torres, Sardinia, dating to late antiquity (4th-5th centuries e.v.), relating to similar Jewish rings, discovered in Sicily and Sardinia in the past. Colafemmina, author of Part II, presents his reading of the inscription of Anabatyya found in 1990 in Gerace, province of Reggio Calabria. Finally, M.S. Rizzo and A. Toscano Raffa describe a recently discovered Jewish funerary lamp with menorah from late Roman period (4th-5th centuries), just found in Licata (Sicily)
Controversies in the management of acute tonsillitis: an evidence-based review
No full textBACKGROUND: Patients admitted with acute tonsillitis generate a substantial workload for the National Health Service (NHS), placing huge financial pressures on an already overstretched budget.OBJECTIVE OF REVIEW: Due to the difficulty of accurate diagnosis and varying practices across the UK, there exist a number of controversial areas and non-standardised practice. These will be highlighted and tackled within this article.TYPE OF REVIEW AND SEARCH STRATEGY: A literature review, last performed in September 2013, searched PubMed citing variations on the areas of controversies with 'tonsillitis', 'pharyngitis' and 'pharyngotonsillitis' - from 1956 to present with language restrictions. Excluded articles included those regarding sore throat after tonsillectomy and peritonsillar abscess.EVALUATION METHOD: Titles and abstracts were initially screened, and full text of potentially relevant articles obtained. The bibliographies of articles were searched for relevant references. The references were then compiled and reviewed independently by two authors (JB & TB), overseen by the senior author (EK).RESULTS: (i) Diagnosis and investigation: Use of the Centor criteria is inadequate within the secondary care setting. Blood testing is unnecessary in the majority of cases where patients do not require admission, as they are unlikely to change management. (ii) Antibiotics: Antibiotics are likely to be indicated in all those presenting to secondary ENT care, with penicillin being the antibiotic of choice for first-line therapy. (iii) Corticosteroids: Moderate evidence supports the benefit of steroid administration in this patient cohort, advocating a single dose initially followed by reassessment. (iv) Analgesia: Paracetamol and NSAIDs have good evidence of action. Codeine should be used with caution in the paediatric population. (v) Reduced admission rates and early discharge: There is evidence suggesting that a trial of medical therapy prior to admission is beneficial in reducing rates of admission and length of stay.CONCLUSIONS: Management of acute tonsillitis within a secondary care setting largely consists of anecdotal or relatively low-quality evidence. Thus, much evidence from management comes from expert opinion or practice within a primary care setting. Management across the UK can also vary greatly. An evidence-based review of best practice has been presented here, but further evidence will be required in the future examining the significance of corticosteroids and antibiotic administration in this patient cohort specifically, ensuring practice is evidence based and clinically relevant.</p
Estimating content quality in the world wide web
No full textThe World Wide Web is used by an increasing number of people as an everexpanding source of information on almost every topic imaginable. However, useful data is often buried in large quantities of low-quality content. Estimation of content quality is valuable for diverse applications, such as search result ranking and direction of crawlers. In this text an approach is described to automatically determine author identity of web pages and compile data on author reputation in order to better estimate the quality of new content. The results of preliminary studies are presented which show the viability of the author reputation approach

на втором этапе разрабатываются организационные решения для построения графика строительства объекта.
Заключение. Принятая модель для решения задач управления производственной деятельности строительной организации позволила расширить область повышения надежности
управленческих решений на стадии планирования строительно-монтажных работ, а на стадии
организации производства – повысить вариативность этих решений. Aim. The author is considered and analyzed the most important reasons for the instability of
managerial decisions in solving problems in construction, for example, scheduling in construction,
logistics and construction administration.
Materials and methods. The basis of the research is Project Technological Dependencies
Model.
Results. A two-stage method for solving the main task of managing the construction of an object
is described. At the first stage the task of distributing the volume of work over time for the
planned periods (decade, month, quarter) is solved. At the second stage organizational solutions are
developed to build a construction schedule for the facility with distribution from the first step
in mind.
Conclusion. The author suggests using a project technological dependencies model to solve the
problems of managing the production activities of a construction organization. This model allows
