Abstract

Research on the relationship between the role of architecture and the psychology of children with autism, which indicates that appropriate environments for these children can have a significant effect on their healthcare process, has been recently conducted. However, statistics show that autism spectrum disorders are pervasive, and its extent in Iran has been increasing. Moreover, centers that are specifically designed for children with autism are limited, and paradigms are made without considering the mood of these children. Given the role of architecture in designing a suitable space for these children, an investigation that can identify the specific requirements of these children from the architectural perspective is necessary. This research aims to design spaces that, in addition to providing relief to children, can provide a proper platform for intellectual development, social development, and promotion of social interactions. The purpose of this study is to design a training center for children with autism under 5 years old. Most of the spaces considered in the physical program have been designed to be flexible and capable of converting into spaces for children aged 5 to 14 years. The design of the center needs to take into account the qualitative criteria to build a sense of security and attachment so that it can be a place for the development and evolution of education for children with autism and the improvement of the social relationships of these children

Abstract

Energy needs are increasing day by day, especially for developing countries, due to population growth and changing lifestyles. A suitable microgrid topology with renewable energy integration is considered to fulfill the people and society’s needs. This paper focuses on the design of AC microgrid topology for a nonelectrified village with the integration of PV uncertainties in both sitting and sizing. The development of an optimal algorithm based on the conductor use minimization and unbalanced load improvement is proposed. The shortest path is proposed to search for the minimum conductor use. Then, the algorithm for improving the unbalanced load with two different algorithms–phase sequence and first-fit bin packing with phase swapping–is compared based on the energy use indicator. Once the optimal AC microgrid topology is defined, the impact of the integration of PV uncertainties into the system is studied. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) has good mechanical strength, high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance with promising application in various industries. However, for the industrial production of BMG, the main issue is how to overcome limitations of joining with other materials. The present study focuses on solder processing at low operating temperature to avoid exceeding the recrystallization temperature. A feasible joining process for BMG was developed using lead-free solders. The BMG surface is pre-plated with copper, nickel, or titanium as a wetting layer. The reaction temperature is set between the glass transition temperature of BMG and the melting point of the solder. After a reflowing and aging process, the joint sample was examined using SEM, EDS, EPMA, and XRD. The Cu–Zr based BMG can be successfully joined with Sn-58Bi solder after plating Cu on the BMG surface. A diffusion layer was observed and the thickness increased with longer aging time. The main components of the diffusion layer are ZrO2 and Cu10Zr7.

Abstract

Mean shift is a fast object tracking algorithm that only considers pixels in an object area, hence its relatively small computational load. This algorithm is suitable for use in real-time conditions in terms of execution time. The use of histograms causes this algorithm to be relatively resistant to rotation and changes in object size. However, its resistance to lighting changes is not optimal. This study aims to improve the performance of the algorithm under lighting changes and reduce its processing time. The proposed technique involves the use of sampling techniques to reduce the number of iterations, optimization of candidate search object locations using simulated annealing, and addition of tolerance parameter to optimize object location search and area-based weighting instead of the Epanechnikov kernel. The results of the one-tail t-test with two independent sample groups reveal that the average performance of the proposed algorithm is significantly better than that of the traditional mean-shift algorithm in terms of resistance to lighting changes and processing time per video frame. In the test involving 999 frames of video images, the average processing time of the proposed algorithm is 83.66 ms, whereas that of the traditional mean-shift algorithm is 116.86 ms.

Abstract

Ecosystems in aquatic environments are distinct from ecosystems on land. Changes that occur in ecosystems in aquatic environments affect the lives of biota in these waters, including the fish used as a food source in fishing communities in coastal areas. This study aims to determine the role of remote sensing in mapping and analyzing the relationship between the parameters of sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a concentrations on the coast. The correlation of sea surface temperature with chlorophyll-a concentrations is modeled via linear regression. An analysis of variance test is performed to establish the suitability of the temperature data for the data on chlorophyll-a concentrations and to map the concentration distribution with the SeaDAS program. Results revealed a linear Chlor (mg/m3) = 63,695 − 2,014T (°C) with an R2 coefficient value of 0.325. This work concludes that Terra MODIS satellite imagery can be used to predict the distribution of chlorophyll-a concentrations on the coast, although its results require further comparison with those of other sensors.

Abstract

This study investigated the utilization of plastic-waste concrete as an effort to reduce urban waste problems. The waste plastic bottles were utilized to form the hollows of the hollow-core slabs (HCSs). The bottles were made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). As a part of green research to reuse waste material, shredded PET was also added to the concrete mixture to improve the HCS strength. The cast-in-site HCS could be constructed without any difficulties. Three parameters were investigated: the effects of void content, shredded PET content, and steel-fiber (SF) content on the HCS ultimate bending capacity (Mu). Fifteen specimens were tested under static loads until failure, and the results were compared with those of the solid slab. Two different void contents 19% and 24% were studied. The other parameters were the shredded PET content (0.5% and 0.7%) and the SF content (0.19% and 0.32%). The Mu values of the HCS specimens were 12% to 16% less than that of the solid slab. However, the strengths were still within the theoretical capacity of the slab. The addition of the shredded PET could improve the HCS bending capacity by 18% to 38% compared with that of the solid slab. Similar results were also found for the specimens with SFs, whose Mu values were 11% to 46% greater than that of the solid slab.
