Abstract

In this paper, a Packet-Coupled Oscillators (PkCOs) synchronisation protocol is proposed for time-sensitive Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) based on Pulse-Coupled Oscillators (PCO) in mathematical biology. The effects of delays on synchronisation performance are studied through mathematical modelling and analysis of packet exchange and processing delays. The delay compensation strategy (i.e., feedforward control) is utilised to cancel delays effectively. A simple scheduling function is provided with PkCOs to allocate the packet transmission event to a specified time slot, by configuring reference input of the system to a non-zero value, in order to minimise the possibility of packet collision in synchronised wireless networks. The rigorous theoretical proofs are provided to validate the convergence and stability of the proposed synchronisation scheme. Finally, the simulations and experiments examine the effectiveness of PkCOs with delay compensation and scheduling strategies. The experimental results also show that the proposed PkCOs algorithm can achieve synchronisation with the precision of $26.3\mu s$ ($1$ tick).

17. Integrated Sensing and Acoustofluidic Functions for Flexible Thin Film Acoustic Wave Devices Based on Metallic and Polymer Multilayers

Author

Abstract

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are generally fabricated on rigid substrates that support the propagation of waves efficiently. Although very challenging, the realisation of SAW devices on bendable and flexible substrates can lead to new generation SAW devices for wearable technologies. In this paper, we report flexible acoustic wave devices based on ZnO thin films coated on various substrates consisting of thin layers of metal (e.g., Ni/Cu/Ni) and/or polymer (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate, PET). We comparatively characterise the fabricated SAW devices and demonstrate their sensing applications for temperature and ultraviolet (UV) light. We also investigate their acoustofluidic capabilities on different substrates. Our results show that the SAW devices fabricated on a polymer layer (e.g. ZnO/PET, ZnO/Ni/Cu/Ni/PET) show enhanced temperature responsivity, and the devices with larger wavelengths are more sensitive to UV exposure. For actuation purposes, the devices fabricated on ZnO/Ni/Cu/Ni layer have the best performance for acoustofluidics, whereas insignificant acoustofluidic effects are observed with the devices fabricated on ZnO/PET layers. We propose that the addition of a metallic layer of Ni/Cu/Ni between ZnO and polymer layers facilitates the actuation capability for the acoustofluidic applications while keeping temperature and UV sensing capabilities, thus enhancing the integration of sensing and acoustofluidic functions.

24. Logical Reasoning in Science Education [and an Annotated Bibliography].

Author

ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education, Columbus, OH., Connelly, F. Michael, Binns, Richard W., Connelly, F. Michael, Binns, Richard W., and ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education, Columbus, OH.

Abstract

This paper on logical reasoning in science education was written from a philosophical, rather than a psychological, orientation within an overall curricular framework. Six areas are treated within this curricular framework: philosophical consideration, logical structure in a field of enquiry, materials development and evaluation, epistemological characteristics, student development and use of logical reasoning in science, and evaluation-research activity. In each area, selected studies are cited and briefly discussed. Research methodology is stressed throughout the paper. An annotated bibliography intended primarily for the use of researchers in science education is included and consists of materials from educational and research journals, curriculum project newsletters, and doctoral dissertations. The references are classified according to the six areas of the paper, with those articles found most useful in developing the paper identified by asterisks. (PEB)

25. Patterns of Enquiry: Textual Analysis of a Classroom Discussion Unit on Bee Feeding Behaviour.

Author

Ontario Inst. for Studies in Education, Toronto. and Binns, Richard W.

Abstract

This paper constitutes an analysis of "Honey Bee Communication: An Enquiry into Two Concepts of Animal Behavior," a unit of classroom discussion modules developed by the Patterns of Enquiry Project at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. The conceptual framework of the analysis consists of four major items: (1) descriptive characteristics, (2) theoretical orientation, (3) instructional orientation, and (4) comparison and evaluation. Various sections of the unit are analyzed, with particular reference to the goals and orientation of the unit, the structure and format of the textual materials, and suggested ways of using the unit. The textual analysis is directed toward the practical aspects of implementing an enquiry unit. In addition brief considerations concerning the philosophical basis of this approach are made.

Abstract

Apnoea is a sleep disorder that affects an increasing number of adults causing harm from fatigue to a growing chance of heart problems. Apnoea disorders can be treated but advanced monitoring and diagnosing tools are needed to identify its strand and offer adequate treatment. Therefore, Apnoea tracking is vital to help keep patients healthy. Sleep Apnoea can cause a number of conditions such as fatigue, high blood pressure, liver functionality and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. These complications make it necessary to monitor as many potential patients as possible by designing an instrument that is accurate, comfortable to use, fit for purpose, cost effective and with embedded computation capabilities to store, process and transmit time series data. In this work we present Apnoea-Pi, an adaptation of our Acousto-Pi open source surface acoustic wave platform to monitor Apnoea in patients using ultrasonic humidity sensing.

46. In vivo E-selectin upregulation correlates early with infiltration of PMN, later with PBL entry: MAbs block both

Abstract

In vivo upregulation of E-selectin is required for the inflammatory infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocyte and (PMN) blood lymphocyte (PBL). Initially, the PMN infiltration is responsible for the upregulation of E-selectin, with the entry of PBL increasing upregulation later. Apart from E-selectin expression, there are other factors responsible for cell type accumulation during inflammation. The inhibitory effect of anti-E-selectin monoclonal antibody restricts the collection of both the radiolabelled PMN and PBL, and the generation of cutaneous inflammatory lesions.
