  • Vibration analysis is one of the most powerful tools available for the detection and isolation of incipient faults in mechanical systems. The methods of vibration analysis in use today and under continuous study are broad band vibration monitoring, time domain analysis, and frequency domain analysis. In recent years, great interest has been generated concerning the use of time-frequency representation and its application for a machinery diagnostics and condition monitoring system. The objective of the research described in this paper was to develop a new diagnostic tool for the rotating machinery. This paper introduces a new time-frequency representation, Directional Wigner-Ville Distribution, which analyses the time- frequency structure of the rotating machinery vibration.

  • This article deals with the asymmetrical relations between Australia and China and explores their interdependence, tensions, and societal outlooks. Both countries are dependent on one another for trade to different degrees but attempt to diversify their supply chains. While there is no united position on China in Australia, there has been a bipartisan support for the counter-interference legislation there. The newly established security pact of the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia - 'AUKUS' - has brought a new dimension into these tensions and will most likely lead to an arms race. The author explores how a so-called middle power such as Australia balances the related economic and strategic interests and priorities. Although Australia has been vulnerable in its asymmetric relationship with China, it has shown that it is not a passive and helpless actor when facing an economic coercion. The interdependence has become a moderating factor in this strategic stand-off. Additionally, Australia demonstrates its tendency to reinforce its traditional reliance on its previous more powerful allies, the UK and the US.

  • High-resolution $^1H$ NMR spectroscopic technique has been widely used as one of the most powerful analytical tools in food chemistry as well as to define molecular structure. The $^1H$ NMR spectra-based metabolomics has focused on classification and chemometric analysis of complex mixtures. The principal component analysis (PCA), an unsupervised clustering method and used to reduce the dimensionality of multivariate data, facilitates direct peak quantitation and pattern recognition. Using a combination of these techniques, the various green teas and black teas brewed were investigated via metabolite profiling. These teas were characterized based on the leaf size and country of cultivation, respectively.

  • In Jamaica Kincaid's novel Lucy, the narrator grows up with the burden of colonial legacies embedded with Englands' imperial disciplinary projects, its language, educational institutions, discourses. Colonial education interpellates the narrator into a colonial subject through its multiple ideological discourses and systems. Teaching the literature of England is the most insidious form of the Empire's disciplinary colonial projects, more powerful than military enforcement: Its mode of operation is creating phantasy and instigating and planting desire for such phantasy. As Homi Bhabha aptly theorizes as colonial mimicry and ambivalence, the narrator as colonial subject grows up split and confused as an ambivalent subject, simultaneously mimicking and desiring for the phantasized England as real, while resisting and criticizing such up-bringing and mimetic desire. This paper explores Kincaid's rhetorical strategy of employing Wordsworth's poem, "I Wandered as a Lonely Cloud," especially her use of the flower "daffodil." Employing the concept of "daffodil gap" suggested by postcolonial critics, this paper closely examines two episodes involving the flower daffodil in the novel, one in a colonial classroom and the other in a garden in a new world and suggests that Kincaid accomplishes intertextual critique of colonial education and imperial projects.

Falsifying LCDM: model-independent tests of the concordance model of cosmology

  • The concordance LCDM model has been very successful at reproducing a wide range of observations. However, the nature of its main components, such as dark energy, dark matter, and inflation, are still unkown. Therefore, it is of prime importance to question the underlying hypotheses of the model and tests there prediction. While most constraints have been obtained assuming a LCDM universe, model-independent approaches, which do not make assumptions regarding the model, are a powerful approach. To falsify the LCDM model, I applied model-indepedent methods to the latests available data to test different aspects of the concordance model, such as the FLRW metric, the curvature, dark energy as the cosmological constant, and gravity as general relativity. The Universe is consistent with flat-LCDM with GR. However, at z>1, tensions start to appear, and more data are required.

  • The therapeutic use of protein pharmaceuticals produced by recombinant DNA technology is increasing in recent decades. In order to investigate the quality of recombinant proteins, it is important to identify and assign the impurities produced in the process of recombination or in storage conditions. Capillary Electrophoresis is emerging technology exhibiting high sensitivity, selectivity and speed and may be most powerful tools for this application. In this study, human growth hormone (hGH) has been analyzed by various mode of capillary electrophoresis such as capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE), and capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) to indicate the chemically or biologically oriented variants and the degraded fragments.

  • Clustering is a most powerful un-supervised machine learning techniques for division of instances into homogenous group, which is called cluster. This Clustering is mainly used for generating a good quality of cluster through which we can discover hidden patterns and knowledge from the large datasets. It has huge application in different field like in medicine field, healthcare, gene-expression, image processing, agriculture, fraud detection, profitability analysis etc. The goal of this paper is to explore both hierarchical as well as partitioning clustering and understanding their problem with various approaches for their solution. Among different clustering K-means is better than other clustering due to its linear time complexity. Further this paper also focused on data mining that dealing with high-dimensional datasets with their problems and their existing approaches for their relevancy

  • MSRDS(Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio) provides the ability to simulate these technologies. SPL(Simple Programming Language) of MSRDS provides many functions for sensor programming to control autonomous robots. Sensor programming in SPL can be implemented in two types of schemes: procedure sensor notification and while-loop schemes. We considered the three programming schemes to control the robot movement after studying the advantages and disadvantages of the sensor notification procedure and the while-loop scheme. We also created simulation environments to evaluate the performance of the three considered schemes when applied to four different mazes. The simulation environment consisted of a maze and a robot with the most powerful sensor, i.e., the LRF(Laser Range Finder) sensor. We measured the required travel time and robot actions (number of turns and number of collisions) needed to escape the maze and compared the performance outcomes of the three considered schemes in the four different mazes.

  • The purpose of this study is to propose a role as healing music through Hoesimgok's interaction. The song "Hoesimgok (悔心曲, 回心曲, Regretting Song)" means a song that expresses regret. There's nothing more desperate than my parents in a song of regret. Your heart for your late parents must be the thing you regret the most. We always think that we should be filial to my parents, but we can't. We are under a lot of stress due to situations and environments that are unintentionally not filial. Audiences who show self-reflection on their filial piety become emotional identities with those who sing with the lyrics and actions of songs and music. Therefore, Hoesimgok is a song and a prayer. Music exerts a range of powerful biological effects beyond nice sound and furthermore, it is expanding to music therapy. It can also bring about peace of mind by regulating sympathetic nervous system excitation. Our results suggest that Hoesimgok can have the effect of making listeners as well as singers happy.
