We present the design and architecture for a device called the “Conductor’s Jacket,” which we built to collect and analyze data from conductors. This device is built into normal clothing and designed in such a way as to allow for normal activity and not encumber the movements of the wearer. The jacket records physiological and motion information from musicians in order to better understand how ...

In this paper, optimization and control of a tubular reactor for thermal bulk post-polymerization of styrene have been investigated. By using the reactor mathematical model, static and dynamic simulations are carried out. Based on an objective function including polymer conversion and polydispersity, reactor optimal temperature profile has been obtained. In the absence of model mismatch, de...

We present the design and implementation of the Conductor's Jacket, a unique wearable device that measures physiological and gestural signals, together with the Gesture Construction, a musical software system that interprets these signals and applies them expressively in a musical context. Sixteen sensors have been incorporated into the Conductor's Jacket in such a way as to not encumber or int...

The cooling system is an important subsystem of internal combustion engine, which plays a vital role in the engine’s dynamical characteristic, fuel economy, and emission output performance at each speed load. This paper proposes economical precise model for electric system, including modeling engine heat rejection, water jacket temperature, other parts system. ensures that operates precisely de...

In this study, a main marine engine with rating power of 21,840 kW for ship sailing in an actual voyage was obtained as the research object. The engine’s exhaust gas and jacket cooling water were adopted heat source organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system developed engine. can consume high-sulfur or low-sulfur fuel oil, respectively, according to different emission control requirements. impact use v...

The introduction of silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) has facilitated construction of compact, efficient and magnetic field-hardened positron emission tomography (PET) scanners. To take full advantage of these devices, methods for using them to produce large field-of-view PET scanners are needed. In this investigation, we explored techniques to combine two SiPM arrays to form the building block f...

We report a 58-year-old man with multiple yellow jacket stings who developed urticaria, renal failure, quadriparesis, rhabdomyolysis in succession. Investigations revealed renal and hepatic dysfunction, proteinuria, demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, acute tubular necrosis and glomerulonephritis. He improved with methylprednisolone, antihypertensives and two sessions of haemodialysis.

This paper promotes the hypothesis that central grammatical categories must be analysed as pragmatic rather than semantic entities, in order to explain their seemingly redundant typological distribution. A case is made of the relatively complex English past tense system versus the single Russian past tense, and it is shown how the distinctions within the former system can be analysed in terms o...
