Application of the N + 2 Transversal Network Method to the Study of a Coupled Resonator Filter

This paper presents a new approach to synthesize admittance function polynomials and coupling matrices for coupled resonator filters. The N + 2 transversal network method is applied to study a coupled resonator filter. This method allowed us to determine the polynomials of the reflection and transmission coefficients. A study is made for a 4 poles filter with 2 transmission zeros between the N + 2 transversal network method and the one found in the literature. A MATLAB code was designed for the numerical simulation of these coefficients for the 6, 8, and 10 pole filter with 4 transmission zeros.

Transversal Competences and Clinic Tutorship: Appreciation by Graduated Nursing Specialists

Background: Transversal competences are included in the United Nations Organization 2030 Agenda for the formation of staff professional in higher education, having disciplinary and transversal skills to develop individual, professional, social, and entrepreneurship at present time, creative individuals being able to solve social problems via collaboration. The aim was to evaluate the transversal competences developed by graduates, specialists in nursing with the accompaniment of clinic tutorship. Methods: Qualitative, phenomenological, and interpretative research. The informants were seven graduates from the Unique Program of Nursing Specialties (UPNS), from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), one participant from each knowledge field: Nursing in the Elderly, Public Health, Neurology, Physical and Sports Culture, Oncology, and two participants from Adult in Critical Condition. Information collection was through a focal group, and data analysis according to the principles of Souza Minayo. Signed informed consent was obtained previously. Results: Five categories with 24 sub-categories emerged. Category 1, Student’s perception on clinic tutorship specialty. Category 2, Competences promoted by clinic tutorship according to student’s experience. Category 3, Experiences about clinic tutorship planning. Category 4, Challenges faced by the student in the evaluation of clinic tutorship. Category 5, Opportunity fields in clinic tutorship from students’ experiences. Conclusion: Graduate students from the specialties describe transversal competences related with decision taking, collaborative work, and increase of population welfare, as well as generic disciplinary competences. The analogy of a social hinge between the clinic tutor and the student is highlighted, which allows to identify mobile and fixed components while the bolt that binds mentor with mentee is learning, by means of the accompaniment by an expert. .

On Abundant Semigroups with Quasi-ideal Adequate Transversals

In this paper, we discuss some properties about an abundant semigroup with a quasi-ideal adequate transversal. Moreover, we show that the product of two quasi-ideal adequate transversals of an abundant semigroup which satisfies some conditions is a quasiideal adequate transversal.

Comparison of corneal endothelial changes following phacoemulsification with transversal and torsional phacoemulsification machines

AIM:To compare and evaluate the phacoemulsification parameters and postoperative endothelial cell changes of two different phacoemulsification machines, each with different modes, but also to assess the relationship between postoperative endothelial cell loss and the phacoemulsification parameters, as well as the other factors in both groups.METHODS:This prospective observational study was comprised of consecutive eligible cataract patients operated with phacoemulsification technique performed by the same surgeon using either a WHITESTAR Signature Ellips FX(transversal, group 1) or Infiniti OZil IP(torsional, group 2) machine.RESULTS:The study included 86 patients. Baseline characteristics in the groups were similar. The median nuclear sclerosis grade was 3(2-4) in the first group and2(2-4) in the second group(P =0.265). Both groups had similar phacoemulsification needle times(group 1: 60.63±36 s; group 2: 55.98±30 s; P =0.789). The percentage of endothelial cell loss 30 d after surgery ranged from 3% to15% with a median of 7% in group 1, and from 2% to13% with a median of 6% in group 2; however, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups(P =0.407). Hexagonality(P =0.794) and the coefficient of variation(CV; P =0.142) did not differ significantly between the groups before and 30 d after surgery. Asignificant positive correlation was found between the endothelial cell loss and nuclear sclerosis grade(group1: P 【0.001; group 2: P 【0.001) and between the endothelial cell loss and average phacoemulsification power(group 1: P =0.007; group 2: P =0.008).CONCLUSION:Both of these machines were efficient,with similar endothelial cell loss. This endothelial cell loss was related to the increased nuclear sclerosis grade and increased phacoemulsification power.

Transversal effects of high order numerical schemes for compressible fluid flows

Finite volume schemes for the two-dimensional(2D) wave system are taken to demonstrate the role of the genuine dimensionality of Lax-Wendroff flow solvers for compressible fluid flows. When the finite volume schemes are applied, the transversal variation relative to the computational cell interfaces is neglected, and only the normal numerical flux is used, thanks to the Gauss-Green formula. In order to offset such defects, the Lax-Wendroff flow solvers or the generalized Riemann problem(GRP) solvers are adopted by substituting the time evolution of flows into the spatial variation. The numerical results show that even with the same convergence rate, the error by the GRP2D solver is almost one ninth of that by the multistage Runge-Kutta(RK) method.

Transversal reverse transformation of anomalous hollow beams in strongly isotropic nonlocal media

Based on the nonlocal nonlinear Schr6dinger equation, the propagation properties of anomalous hollow beams in strongly isotropic nonlocal media are investigated. The analytical expressions of the beam propagation, the on-axis intensity and the beam width are obt.ained. The results show that the evolution of the beam is periodical and the input power is the most important parameter. The input power determines the variation of the period. Furthermore, it is found that there exists a critical input power in the x direction and in the y direction separately when the initial beam widths in the two transversal directions are unequal. The beam width remains invariant in the corresponding transversal direction when the input power equals the critical power in one of the transversal directions. Selecting a properinput power, the beam can be broadened or compressed in the two transversal directions at the same time, In particular, the beam can be broadened （compressed） in one transversal direction, whereas in the other transversal direction, it is compressed （broadened）, i.e., the transversal reverse transformation.

Nonlinear Transversal Vibration Analysis of an Axially Moving Viscoelastic Yarn in Tufting Process

The nonlinear transversal vibration of axially moving yarn with time-dependent tension is investigated. Yarn material is modeled as Kelvin model. A partial differential equation governing the transversal vibration is derived from the Newton's second law.Galerkin method is used to truncate the governing nonlinear differential equation,and thus the first-order ordinary differential equation is obtained. The periodic vibration equation and the natural frequency of moving yarn are received by applying homotopy perturbation method. As a result,the condition which should be avoided during the tufting process for resonance is obtained.

Normal Orthodox Semigroups with Inverse Transversals

A normal orthodox semigroup is an orthodox semigroup whose idempotent elements form a normal band. We deal with congruences on a normal orthodox semigroup with an inverse transversal. A structure theorem for such semigroup is obtained. Munn(1966) gave a fundamental inverse semigroup. Following Munn's idea, we give a fundamental normal orthodox semigroup with an inverse transversal.

Yang-Yang thermodynamics of one-dimensional Bose gases with anisotropic transversal confinement

By combining the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz and local density approximation, we investigate the Yang-Yang thermodynamics of interacting one-dimensional Bose gases with anisotropic transversal confinement. It is shown that with the increase of anisotropic parameter at low temperature, the Bose atoms are distributed over a wider region, while at high temperature the density distribution is not affected obviously. Both the temperature and transversal confinement can strengthen the local pressure of the Dose gases.

Origin of Some Transversal Linear Features of NE-SW Trend in Iraq, and Their Geological Characters

Iraq is located at the extreme northeastern part of the Arabian Plate, which is in collision with the Eurasian Plate. This collision is still onward, and has caused alignment of the evolved structures in NW-SE trend, mainly, especially in the northern, northeastern and eastern sides of Iraq. However, many transversal linear features of NE-SW trend, represented by rivers, streams, valleys, playas, anticlines and offsets are developed, in parallel trend to the main compressional forces created by the aforementioned collision. Many examples from different parts of Iraq confirm the mechanism of their formation through the geological, geomorphological, tectonics and structural aspects. Although the existing linear features are tens of kilometers in length, but almost no surface displacements were reported, except very few, in some parts of Iraq. The given examples are selected to be the most obvious, when geophysical data are available, the surface and subsurface geology of the involved area is correlated to deduce whether the surface expression coincides with the subsurface or otherwise. A brief tectonic history is also given.

Sonographic Measurement of the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) and Eyeball Transversal Diameter (ETD) in Benin Healthy African Adults

Background: Measuring optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD), a relatively re-cent technique, allows an indirect and non-invasive diagnosis of intracranial hypertension. The ONSD ratio to eyeball transverse diameter (ETD) increases this reliability of the technique. The objective of this study was to determine the normal ONSD and its ratio with ETD in black African adults in Benin. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between May 2019 and August 2019. Ultrasound ONSD and ONSD/ETD ratio were meas-ured in 210 healthy adults received in the medical imaging department of the Borgou and Alibori University Hospital Center in Benin. The ONSD corre-sponded to the average of 12 measurements (03 horizontal and 03 vertical for each eye) taken 3 mm behind the papilla. The transverse ETD corresponded to the average of 03 measurements. Results: The mean ONSD was 4.20 ± 0.28 mm (95% CI = [4.17;4.24] mm and 95th percentile = 4.70 mm). The mean ETD was 24.25 ± 1.10 mm. The ONSD/ETD ratio was 0.17 ± 0.01 (95% CI = [0.17;0.17] and 95th percentile = 0.19). There was no difference between ver-tical and horizontal ONSD and between right and left ONSD. The ONSD and the ONSD/ETD ratio were not correlated with any of the socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics studied (sex, age, ethnicity, weight, height, body mass index, head circumference and waist circumference). The ONSD was associated with ETD (p < 0.001 and r = 0.55). Conclusion: An ONSD and an ONSD/ETD ratio respectively greater than 4.70 mm and 0.19 should sus-pect intracranial hypertension. The ONSD/ETD ratio may be a better indicator of HICT because of its small variation.

A Reanalysis of the Two Swimmers Problem, as Frequent Model of Michelson’s Interferometric Experiment Demonstrating that Transversal Path Is Not an Isosceles but a Right Triangle and the Race Will End in a Tie

The article initially reviews various works describing the physical model (PM) of Michelson’s interferometric experiment (ME), represented by the race between two swimmers Sw1, Sw2 (or boats, or planes, or sound signals, etc.). The two swimmers must each swim the same distance, but Sw1 will swim along the river flow, and Sw2 will swim perpendicularly to this direction. In all such works, it is considered that Sw2’s path will require less time and that it will reach the start point first. However, in this work, it has been determined that in order to make this possible, Sw2 must not observe the orthogonality rule of his start direction. This action would be deceitful to the arbiters and thus considered as non-fair-play towards Sw1. The article proves by swimming times calculus, that if the fair-play rules are observed, then the correct crosswise path (in water reference frame) is a right triangle instead of the isosceles triangle considered by Michelson. Consequently, the two times shall be perfectly equal and the race ends in a tie, and the myth of Sw2 as the race winner shall be debunked. Note that the same result shall also be applicable to Michelson’s interferometric experiment (ME) as well as to any similar experiment. Therefore, utilising the isosceles triangle as the transversal path in PM and also in ME is an erroneous act.

Numerical simulation of horizontal transversal displacement under different fixed clamping force of welding fixture for superalloy during TIG welding

A numerical model is established by Abaqus software for superalloy during tungsten inert gas （TIG） welding with welding fixture to simulate the weld temperature filed, stress and strain field, and weld plate＇s horizontal trasnsveral shift. The clamp force perpendicular to the weld plate varying with welding time was analyzed. The maximum clamp force during welding process was calculated. Under the condition of insufficient of clamping force, a half or one third of the maximum clamp force for example, the weld plate＇s horizontal transversal displacement could happen and also be computed.

The results show that the semi-active control with variable damper can decrease the transverse vibration effectively and the control effect is obvious.

Influence of transversal vibration on cutting performance and surface integrity during ultrasonic peening drilling of Al-Li alloys

Advanced hole-making process is of great importance to enhance the fatigue performance of Al-Li alloy part in aviation industry.Ultrasonic peening drilling(UPD),in which an ultrasonic transversal vibration is applied to the cutting tools,is a recently proposed hole-making method that integrates precision-machining and surface strengthening by single-shot operation.In the study,kinematics,material removal mechanism and strengthening mechanism for UPD of Al-Li alloy by helical fluted reamers are analyzed.The effect of transversal vibration on the cutting performance and surface integrity is studied through comparative experiments between UPD and conventional drilling(CD)of Al-Li alloy holes.The experimental results show that UPD exhibits superior cutting performance with a maximum reduction of 52.6%in thrust force and 52.3%in torque,respectively,compared to CD.Moreover,narrower dimensional tolerance is obtained in UPD due to the reduced transversal force and improved machining stability.Additionally,deeper plastic deformation,higher surface microhardness and residual compressive stress of machined holes are obtained by UPD.The electron back-scattered diffraction(EBSD)analysis confirms that deeper machined affect area and grain refinement are realized in UPD.Therefore,the results indicate that UPD is a feasible method for achieving high-precision and strengthened holes for Al-Li alloy.

The compact,sensitive,and multidimensional displacement measurement device plays a crucial role in semiconductor manufacture and high-resolution optical imaging.The metasurface offers a promising solution to develop high-precision displacement metrology.In this work,we proposed and experimentally demonstrated a two-dimensional displacement(XZ)measurement device by a dielectric metasurface.Both transversal and longitudinal displacements of the metasurface can be obtained by the analysis of the interference optical intensity that is generated by the deflected light beams while the metasurface is under linearly polarized incidence.We experimentally demonstrated that displacements down to 5.4 nm along the x-axis and 0.12μm along the z-axis can be resolved with a 900μm×900μm metasurface.Our work opens up new possibilities to develop a compact high-precision multidimensional displacement sensor.
