Development of TD Website and Repository
No full textSEAFDEC, an Inter-Governmental Organization plays an important role in promotion of sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture in the Southeast Asian Region for more than four decades. Cooperation with other regional and international organizations have been recognized through several important events such as Millennium Conference in 2001 and ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference in 2011. Since 1990s, internet have been introduced worldwide, where information technology becomes important as a part of human life including education, economic, social and politicsand so on. Development of high speed internet creates a new communication system and support living style including works and activities such as public relations, multi-media production, publication etc., especially information dissemination and website which are technologies for communication between internal and external organization as well as in developing management system for efficiencies. The objective of this paper is to enhance SEAFDEC visibility by developing the information and dissemination system which developed new TD website in 2017.
In this regards, TD established Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Training Department Institutional Repository (STIR), which is the official digital repository of scholarly, research and technical information of the Department to download all information materials using open source software named the DSpace.
In this paper, author considers the importance of information technology for introducing SEAFDEC/TD activities and improving access to SEAFDEC/TD technical/scientific articles was expressed via the website. In this regards, the author introduced for developing of the TD website and Repository to increase public relation and increase TD’s visibility as well as point out constrains of its development that requires the strengthening and cooperation within the Training Department of SEAFDEC

Atomic bomb health benefits
No full textMedia reports of deaths and devastation produced by atomic bombs convinced people around the world that all ionizing radiation is harmful. This concentrated attention on fear of miniscule doses of radiation. Soon the linear no threshold (LNT) paradigm was converted into laws. Scientifically valid information about the health benefits from low dose irradiation was ignored. Here are studies which show increased health in Japanese survivors of atomic bombs. Parameters include decreased mutation, leukemia and solid tissue cancer mortality rates, and increased average lifespan. Each study exhibits a threshold that repudiates the LNT dogma. The average threshold for acute exposures to atomic bombs is about 100 cSv. Conclusions from these studies of atomic bomb survivors are: • One burst of low dose irradiation elicits a lifetime of improved health. • Improved health from low dose irradiation negates the LNT paradigm. • Effective triage should include radiation hormesis for survivor treatment

Radiation hormesis: Good, Bad, and Ugly
No full textThree aspects of hormesis with low doses of ionizing radiation are presented: the good, the bad, and the ugly. The good is acceptance by France, Japan, and China of the thousands of studies showing stimulation and/or benefit, with no harm, from low dose irradiation. This includes thousands of people who live in good health with high background radiation. The bad is the nonacceptance of radiation hormesis by the U. S. and most other governments; their linear no threshold (LNT) concept promulgates fear of all radiation and produces laws which have no basis in mammalian physiology. The LNT concept leads to poor health, unreasonable medicine and oppressed industries. The ugly is decades of deception by medical and radiation committees which refuse to consider valid evidence of radiation hormesis in cancer, other diseases, and health. Specific examples are provided for the good, the bad, and the ugly in radiation hormesis
On Rota-Baxter Nijenhuis TD algebra
No full textThere was a long standing problem of G. C. Rota regarding the classi- fication of all linear operators on associative algebras that satisfy algebraic identities. Initially, only very few of such operators were known, for example, the derivative operator, average operator, difference operator and Rota-Baxter operator. Recently, in a paper by L. Guo, W. Sit and R. Zhang, the authors revisited Rota’s problem by concentrating on two classes of operators; differ- ential type operators and Rota-Baxter type operators. One of the Rota-Baxter type operators they found is the Rota-Baxter Nijenhuis TD (RBNTD) oper- ator which puts together the terms of the well-known Rota-Baxter operator, Nijenhuis operator and Leroux’ TD operator. In this dissertation, we initiate a systematic study of the RBNTD operator, extending the previous works on the Rota-Baxter, Nijenhuis and TD operators. After giving basic properties and examples, we construct free commutative and then free (non-commutative) RBNTD algebras. We then use free RBNTD algebras to obtain an extension of the renowned dendriform algebra with five binary operations.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesMonica AggarwalVita
Large Time Step and DC Stable TD-EFIE Discretized with Implicit Runge-Kutta Methods
No full textThe time domain-electric field integral equation (TD-EFIE) and its differentiated version are widely used to simulate the transient scattering of a time dependent electromagnetic field by a perfect electric conductor (PEC). The time discretization of the TD-EFIE can be achieved by a space-time Galerkin approach or, as it is considered in this contribution, by a convolution quadrature using implicit Runge-Kutta methods. The solution is then computed using the marching-on-in-time (MOT) algorithm. The differentiated TD-EFIE has two problems: 1) the system matrix suffers from ill-conditioning when the time step increases (low frequency breakdown) and 2) it suffers from the DC instability, i.e., the formulation allows for the existence of spurious solenoidal currents that grow slowly in the solution. In this article, we show that 1) and 2) can be alleviated by leveraging quasi-Helmholtz projectors to separate the Helmholtz components of the induced current and rescale them independently. The efficacy of the approach is demonstrated by numerical examples including benchmarks and real-life applications.Numerical Analysi
“Dear Author": A Transparent SoTL Peer Review
No full textThis epistolary article is written as an extended SoTL peer review. It contains two sections: my preparatory work as peer reviewer and my actual review. In the first section, I remind myself of the function and processes of the SoTL peer review, what the author expects from a SoTL peer reviewer, and how I see my role as a peer reviewer in SoTL. In the second section, I write my review, focusing on three common feedback areas in SoTL: how the author brings in existing scholarship, how the author describes their SoTL project, and how the author demonstrates its importance. My review concludes with some advice for navigating the potentially conflicting reviews that are not unusual in SoTL
