This paper presents a new method for calculating the insulation health index (HI) of oil-paper transformers rated under 110 kV to provide a snapshot of health condition using binary logistic regression. Oil breakdown voltage (BDV), total acidity of oil, 2-Furfuraldehyde content, and dissolved gas analysis (DGA) are singled out in this method as the input data for determining HI. A sample of transformers is used to test the proposed method. The results are compared with the results calculated for the same set of transformers using fuzzy logic. The comparison results show that the proposed method is reliable and effective in evaluating transformer health condition.

AbstractIn June–July 2013,we performed a comparison of five absolute gravimeters of different types. The gravimeters were the FG5X-221 of the FGI, the FG5-110 and GBL-M 002 of the TsNIIGaiK, the GABL-PM of the IAE SB RAS, and the GABL-M of the NIIMorGeofizika (Murmansk, Russia). The three last-mentioned are field-type portable gravimeters made by the Institute of Automation and Electrometry in Novosibirsk, and this is the first international comparison for them. This Russian-Finnish Comparison of Absolute Gravimeters RFCAG2013 was conducted at four sites with different characteristics: at the field sites Pulkovo and Svetloe near St. Petersburg, and at the laboratory sites TsNIIGaIK in Moscow and Zvenigorod near Moscow. At the TsNIIGAiK site and at Zvenigorod two piers were used, such that altogether six stations were occupied. The FG5X- 221 provides the link to the CCM.G-K2 Key Comparison in Luxembourg in November 2013. Recently, the Consultative Committee for Mass and Related Quantities and the International Association of Geodesy drafted a strategy on how to best transmit the results of Key Comparisons of absolute gravimeters to benefit the geodetic and geophysical gravimetric community. Our treatment of the RFCAG2013 presents one of the first practical applications of the ideas of the strategy document, andwe discuss the resulting uncertainty structure. Regarding the comparison results, we find the gravimeters show consistent offsets at the quite different sites. All except one gravimeter are in equivalence.

This paper considers a future scenario in which digital reporting of measurement results is ubiquitous and digital calibration certificates (DCCs) contain information about the components of uncertainty in a measurement result. The task of linking international measurement comparisons is used as a case study to look at the benefits of digitalization. Comparison linking provides a context in which correlations are important, so the benefit of passing a digital record of contributions to uncertainty along a traceability chain can be examined. The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) uses a program of international “key comparisons” to establish the extent to which measurements of a particular quantity may be considered equivalent when made in different economies. To obtain good international coverage, the results of the comparisons may be linked together: a number of regional metrology organization (RMO) key comparisons can be linked back to an initial CIPM key comparison. Specific information about systematic effects in participants’ results must be available during linking to allow correct treatment of the correlations. However, the conventional calibration certificate formats used today do not provide this: participants must submit additional data, and the report of an initial comparison must anticipate the requirements for future linking. Special handling of additional data can be laborious and prone to error. An uncertain-number digital reporting format was considered in this case study, which caters to all the information required and would simplify the comparison analysis, reporting, and linking; the format would also enable a more informative presentation of comparison results. The uncertain-number format would be useful more generally, in measurement scenarios where correlations arise, so its incorporation into DCCs should be considered. A full dataset supported by open-source software is available.

Key comparison measurements serve as an ultimate tool of quality assurance of results. Whenever the inter-comparison results indicate inconsistency, the participating laboratory needs to take the corrective actions. Practically, the systematic errors involved in the measuring system confines the achievable accuracy. Therefore, the corrective action involves either empirically determine the influences afresh or intuitively reassigns these error values. Alternatively, an analytical method based on inter laboratory comparison results is proposed. The novelty of the proposal is considering task-specific errors in the model that is used for the analysis of interlaboratory comparison results. Without accounting the uncertainties of task-specific errors, the analysis grows complicated and even sometimes it is not feasible. To supplement the proposed method, task-specific errors due to the imperfect geometry of ring gauge, practical inability in implementing the measurement, and unattended environmental influences are explored. The proposed method is demonstrated using some internal diameter key comparison data. The systematic errors responsible for the outlier in the measurement comparison are clearly distinguished.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of stuttering of school-age children who stutter and those of adults who stutter through the use of the same tools that could be commonly used by clinicians. Method Twenty-three participants across various ages and stuttering severity were administered both the Stuttering Severity Instrument–Fourth Edition (SSI-4; Riley, 2009 ) and the Wright & Ayre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile ( Wright & Ayre, 2000 ). Comparisons were made between severity of behavioral measures of stuttering made by the SSI-4 and by age (child/adult). Results Significant differences were obtained for the age comparison but not for the severity comparison. Results are explained in terms of the correlation between severity equivalents of the SSI-4 and the Wright & Ayre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile scores, with clinical implications justifying multi-aspect assessment. Conclusions Clinical implications indicate that self-perception and impact of stuttering must not be assumed and should be evaluated for individual participants. Research implications include further study with a larger subject pool and various levels of stuttering severity.

In the current scenario of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), power consumption is the major issue associated with nodes in WSN. LEACH technique plays a vital role of clustering in WSN and reduces the energy usage effectively. But LEACH has its own limitation in order to search cluster head nodes which are randomly distributed over the network. In this paper, ERA-NFL- BA algorithm is being proposed for selects the cluster heads in WSN. This algorithm help in selection of cluster heads can freely transform from global search to local search. At the end, a comparison has been done with earlier researcher using protocol ERA-NFL, which clearly shown that proposed Algorithm is best suited and from comparison results that ERA-NFL-BA has given better performance.

<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Clear guidelines for red cell transfusion during cardiac surgery have not yet been established. The current focus on blood conservation during cardiac surgery has increased the urgency to determine the minimum safe hematocrit for these patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether monitoring of cerebral regional oxygen saturation (rSO<sub>2</sub>) via near-infrared spectrometry (NIRS) is effective for assessing the cerebral effects of severe dilutional anemia during elective coronary arterial bypass graft surgery (CABG).</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> The prospective observational study involved patients who underwent cerebral rSO<sub>2</sub> monitoring by NIRS during elective isolated first-time CABG: an anemic group (<em>N</em>=15) (minimum Hemoglobin (Hb) N=15) (Hb &gt;8 g/dL during CPB). Mean arterial pressure (MAP), pump blood flow, blood lactate level, pCO<sub>2</sub>, pO<sub>2</sub> at five time points and cross-clamp time, extracorporeal circulation time were recorded for each patient. Group results statistically were compared.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> The anemic group had significantly lower mean preoperative Hb than the control group (10.3 mg/dL versus 14.2 mg/dL; <em>P</em> = .001). The lowest Hb levels were observed in the hypothermic period of CPB in the anemic group. None of the controls exhibited a &gt;20% decrease in cerebral rSO<sub>2</sub>. Eleven (73.3%) of the anemic patients required an increase in pump blood flow to raise their cerebral rSO<sub>2</sub>.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In this study, the changes in cerebral rSO<sub>2</sub> in the patients with low Hb were within acceptable limits, and this was in concordance with the blood lactate levels and blood-gas analysis. It can be suggested that NIRS monitoring of cerebral rSO<sub>2</sub> can assist in decision making related to blood transfusion and dilutional anemia during CPB.</p>
