Arganun (Organon) - In The Outlook Of Medieval Eastern Thinkers, Saodat Djurabekova

Eurasian music science journal

The Uzbek people have a very rich, worthy ancient history. The discoveries by many scientists and archaeologists of our country confirm the huge contribution of Central Asia to the development of human beings. During very long years of historical development, many great scientists in the fields of science, culture and art came out among our people. They have gratefully served for the progress of mankind. In this way, they raised the status of the nations of the East. Oriental scholars in their musical brochures, tried to comment not only on the musical-theoretical and practical sciences of the East, but also …

The Influence Of Information Power Upon The Great Game In Cyberspace: U.S. Wins Over Russian Meddling In The 2018 Elections, Joseph H. Schafer

Military Cyber Affairs

The 2018 U.S. pivot in information and cyberspace degraded Russian operations in the 2018 election. Following pervasive Russian information power operations during the U.S. 2016 elections, the United States progressed from a policy of preparations and defense in information and cyberspace to a policy of forward engagement. U.S recognition of renewed great power competition coupled with Russia’s inability to compete diplomatically, militarily (conventionally), or economically, inspires Russia to continues to concentrate on information power operations. This great game in cyberspace was virtually uncontested by the U.S. prior to 2017. Widespread awareness of Russian aggression in 2016 served as a catalyst …

Matching Of Pv Power Systems With Electrical Loads Using Graph Theoretic Modeling Approach., Magdy Mohamed El-Saadawi, Mohamed Adel El-Sayes, M. Abdel-Wahab

Mansoura Engineering Journal

The quality of load matching in a photovoltaic power system (PVPS) determines the system performance and the degree or the solar cells utilization. In a good matched system, the operation of the load-line is close to the maximum power-line of the solar cell (SCA) generator. This paper presents a new methodology for modeling a stand alone PVPS using the Graph Theoretic Modeling (GTM) Approach. The studied system composed of a directly connected SCA generator-dc motor supplying different load types. A computer program (written in MATLAB 6) has been developed to model the studied system. The computer program is then applied …

Minimum Cost Design Of Irrigation Canal Sections., M. Shamaa, H. Abdel-Gawad

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Design of minimum cost canal section requires minimization of construction costs per unit length of the canal. The aim is to minimize a nonlinear objective function subject to a nonlinear equality constraint. The objective function has been expressed as the cost per unit length of the canal for excavation and lining. Manning's equation was used as an equality constraint. Using the method of Lagrange multipliers, the necessary equations for the design of minimum cost irrigation canal of trapezoidal, rectangular, triangular shapes can be obtained. The optimal dimensions for the previous canal sections without freeboard could be obtained from a set …

Surface Roughness Measurement Using Light Sectioning Method And Computer Vision Techniques., N. Elhamshary, Ossama Badie Abouelatta, Ibrahim Mohamed Amar, Elamir Gadelmawla

Mansoura Engineering Journal

The development of new industries has led to a requirement for super-smooth surfaces and for the ability to measure surfaces of industrial parts accurately; therefore, the measurement of engineering surface roughness is becoming increasingly important. In this work, a new approach is introduced to measure surface roughness by combining a light sectioning microscope and a computer vision system. This method has the advantage of being non-contact. The light sectioning microscope is used to view roughness profiles of the specimens to be measured and the vision system is used to capture images for the viewed profiles. A special program (named SRLSVision) …

Effects Of Covid-19 On Education In Healthcare And Stem, Jessica Hallett, Santanu De

Biology Faculty Articles

The Coronavirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic halted face-to-face classes in most schools, colleges, and universities worldwide, necessitating virtual instruction. This reformation of academics impacted every field of study, especially those students in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and in the realm of healthcare science education. Ranging from middle/high school to undergraduate and graduate programs, STEM degrees entail rigorous curricula integrating extensive lectures on theoretical topics, and laboratory exercises to apply those concepts in a practical setting. Likewise, healthcare education involves hands-on, clinical lab components working on patients, guided by supervisors. The guidelines developed by the …

Human-Machine Teaming And Its Legal And Ethical Implications, Jim Q. Chen, Thomas Wingfield

Military Cyber Affairs

Humans rely on machines in accomplishing missions while machines need humans to make them more intelligent and more powerful. Neither side can go without the other, especially in complex environments when autonomous mode is initiated. Things are becoming more complicated when law and ethical principles should be applied in these complex environments. One of the solutions is human-machine teaming, as it takes advantage of both the best humans can offer and the best that machines can provide. This article intends to explore ways of implementing law and ethical principles in artificial intelligence (AI) systems using human-machine teaming. It examines the …

Three Emerging Innovative Technologies Required For Cyber Operations To Execute Commander’S Intent At Machine Speed, Andrew Stewart

Military Cyber Affairs

Decision advantage for the DoD and Combined Cyber Operations results from the secure, seamless, and rapid maneuver of data and information. In the DoD’s 2018 Artificial Intelligence Strategy, the DoD recognized that it must, “put in place key building blocks and platforms to scale and democratize access to AI. This includes creating a common foundation of shared data, reusable tools, frameworks and standards, and cloud and edge services.”[1] More than ever, integrated, adaptive cyber operations provide the means of maneuver for data to enable DoD’s decision advantage-based goals. To support this vision, the integrated implementation three innovative cyber technologies …

Dividing Flow At A 90° Open Channel Junction., I. Rashwan, Tarek Abdel-Hamed Saafan

Mansoura Engineering Journal

A theoretical model for division of flow through T-junction over a horizontal bed was obtained for subcritical steady flow through main, extension and branch channels of equal widths. The new proposed model was derived with the aid of continuity, energy and momentum equations. For a given inflow discharge, the water depth and the width of the channels, using the present model, the downstream depth and discharge could be determined. Experimental data from previous studies were used to verify the proposed new model. The deduced model was found in good agreement with the observations It was found that a linear relationship …

Linear Programming Based Approach For Generation Rescheduling And Load Shedding To Alleviate Power System Overloads., Mohamed Ibrahim Ibrahim

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This paper presents a linear programming (LP) based approach for the alleviation of line overloads by generation rescheduling and load shedding. The algorithm is based on solving a linearized set of optimal equations. The objective function for generation rescheduling is to minimize the linearized system operating cost while satisfying the system equality and inequality constraints. In respect to load shedding scheme, the objective function is to minimize the total load demand to be shed taking into account the operating constraints of the maximum load that can be shed; to ensure a minimum service at each bus; and the step of …
