Abstract Linear pulse electromechanical converters (LPEC) of induction type allow providing a high speed of the actuating element in the short active section and creating powerful power impulses with its insignificant movement. One of the ways to improve the electromechanical indicators of LPEC is the formation of current excitation pulses in the inductor using electronic power supply circuits containing a capacitive energy storage device. This publication is a continuation of our previous work on the influence of different parameters and conditions on the performance of LPEC. Using the developed chain mathematical model, recurrent relations are obtained for calculating the interconnected electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal parameters of LPEC. It has been established that the speed and power electromechanical indicators of LPEC with aperiodic excitation pulse are better than those of LPEC with unipolar excitation, but worse than those of LPEC with oscillating-damped excitation pulse. LPEC with a unipolar excitation pulse, by the end of the working cycle, the smallest temperatures of the inductor and the armature are observed, while for LPEC with a oscillating-damped excitation pulse, the greatest efficiency is ensured, being 24.88%. The highest speed and power electromechanical indicators are provided at LPEC with a step-aperiodic excitation pulse. Experimental studies of LPEC were conducted when operating as an electromechanical accelerator and a shock-power device. In studies of LPEC, a piezoelectric transducer was used as a shock-power device, which converted mechanical vibrations arising from the impact of the striker on the impact plate into electrical signals. In studies of LPEC, a displacement sensor was used as an electromechanical accelerator. It was established experimentally that the movement of the armature begins with a delay relative to the moment of occurrence of the current pulse and is almost linear in the initial part of the acceleration.

Introduction. Linear pulse electromechanical converters of induction type (LPECIT) are used in many branches of science and technology as shock-power devices and electromechanical accelerators. In them, due to the phase shift between the excitation current in the inductor winding and the induced current in the armature winding, in addition to the initial electrodynamic forces (EDF) of repulsion, subsequent EDF of attraction also arise. As a result, the operating indicators of LPECIT are reduced. The purpose of the article is to increase the performance of linear pulse electromechanical induction-type converters when operating as a shock-power device and an electromechanical accelerator by limiting the duration of the induced current in the armature winding until its polarity changes. Methodology. To analyze the electromechanical characteristics and indicators of LPECIT, a mathematical model was used, in which the solutions of equations describing interrelated electrical, magnetic, mechanical and thermal processes are presented in a recurrent form. Results. To eliminate the EDF of attraction between the LPIECIT windings, it is proposed to limit the duration of the induced current in the armature winding before changing its polarity by connecting a rectifier diode to it. It was found that when the converter operates as a shock-power device without limiting the armature winding current, the value of the EDF pulse after reaching the maximum value decreases by the end of the operating cycle. In the presence of a diode in the armature winding, the efficiency criterion, taking into account the EDF pulse, recoil force, current and heating temperature of the inductor winding, increases. When the converter operates as an electromechanical accelerator without limiting the armature winding current, the speed and efficiency decrease, taking into account the kinetic energy and voltage of the capacitive energy storage at the end of the operating cycle. In the presence of a diode in the armature winding, the efficiency criterion increases, the temperature rise of the armature winding decreases, the value of the maximum efficiency increases, reaching 16.16 %. Originality. It has been established that due to the limitation of the duration of the armature winding current, the power indicators of the LPECIT increase when operating as a shock-power device and the speed indicators when the LPECIT operates as an electromechanical accelerator. Practical value. It was found that with the help of a rectifier diode connected to the multi-turn winding of the armature, unipolarity of the current is ensured, which leads to the elimination of the EDF of attraction and an increase in the performance of the LPECIT.

The purpose of the article is to evaluate the efficiency of an induction-type linear pulse electromechanical converter (LPEC) when operating in shock-power mode and excitation from an alternating voltage source (AVS) in comparison with excitation from a capacitive energy storage (CES). A mathematical model of an induction-type LPEC has been developed both when excited by a unipolar pulse from a CES and from an AVS using lumped parameters of the windings, which takes into account the interrelated electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal processes. It has been found that when the LPEC is excited from the AVS with a voltage frequency of 50 Hz, the electrodynamic force takes on a periodic decaying character with a significant prevalence of positive components of forces over negative ones. The maximum value of the force is much less, and the value of its impulse is much greater than in the LPEC, excited from the CES. With an increase in the frequency of the AVS voltage from 50 to 150 Hz, the highest value of the current density of the inductor winding decreases, and in the armature winding it increases. The greatest values of force and impulse of force are realized at a voltage frequency of 150 Hz. With an increase in the AVS frequency, the relative indicator of the efficiency of the LPEC increases.

This chapter reviews the degree to which empirical evidence demonstrates that families influence youth delinquency. Because they are most likely to be emphasized in life-course theories, this chapter focuses on parenting practices such as parental warmth and involvement, supervision and discipline of children, and child maltreatment. It also summarizes literature examining the role of children's exposure to parental violence, family criminality, and young (teenage) parents in affecting delinquency. Because life-course theories are ideally tested using longitudinal data, which allow examination of, in this case, the impact of parenting practices on children's subsequent behaviors, this chapter focuses on evidence generated from prospective studies conducted in the United States and other countries. It also discusses findings from experimental studies designed to reduce youth substance use and delinquency by improving the family environment.

The Impact

The global illegal wildlife trade directly threatens biodiversity and leads to disease outbreaks and epidemics. In order to avoid the loss of endangered species and ensure public health security, it is necessary to intervene in illegal wildlife trade and promote public awareness of the need for wildlife conservation. Anthropomorphism is a basic and common psychological process in humans that plays a crucial role in determining how a person interacts with other non-human agents. Previous research indicates that anthropomorphizing nature entities through metaphors could increase individual behavioral intention of wildlife conservation. However, relatively little is known about the mechanism by which anthropomorphism influences behavioral intention and whether social context affects the effect of anthropomorphism. This research investigated the impact of negative emotions associated with a pandemic situation on the effectiveness of anthropomorphic strategies for wildlife conservation across two experimental studies. Experiment 1 recruited 245 college students online and asked them to read a combination of texts and pictures as anthropomorphic materials. The results indicated that anthropomorphic materials could increase participants’ empathy and decrease their wildlife product consumption intention. Experiment 2 recruited 140 college students online and they were required to read the same materials as experiment 1 after watching a video related to epidemics. The results showed that the effect of wildlife anthropomorphization vanished if participants’ negative emotion was aroused by the video. The present research provides experimental evidence that anthropomorphic strategies would be useful for boosting public support for wildlife conservation. However, policymakers and conservation organizations must be careful about the negative effects of the pandemic context, as the negative emotions produced by it seems to weaken the effectiveness of anthropomorphic strategies.

The Impact

In this paper, the authors analyze in more details an image encryption scheme, proposed by the authors in their earlier work, which preserves input image statistics and can be used in connection with the JPEG compression standard. The image encryption process takes advantage of fast linear transforms parametrized with private keys and is carried out prior to the compression stage in a way that does not alter those statistical characteristics of the input image that are crucial from the point of view of the subsequent compression. This feature makes the encryption process transparent to the compression stage and enables the JPEG algorithm to maintain its full compression capabilities even though it operates on the encrypted image data. The main advantage of the considered approach is the fact that the JPEG algorithm can be used without any modifications as a part of the encrypt-then-compress image processing framework. The paper includes a detailed mathematical model of the examined scheme allowing for theoretical analysis of the impact of the image encryption step on the effectiveness of the compression process. The combinatorial and statistical analysis of the encryption process is also included and it allows to evaluate its cryptographic strength. In addition, the paper considers several practical use-case scenarios with different characteristics of the compression and encryption stages. The final part of the paper contains the additional results of the experimental studies regarding general effectiveness of the presented scheme. The results show that for a wide range of compression ratios the considered scheme performs comparably to the JPEG algorithm alone, that is, without the encryption stage, in terms of the quality measures of reconstructed images. Moreover, the results of statistical analysis as well as those obtained with generally approved quality measures of image cryptographic systems, prove high strength and efficiency of the scheme’s encryption stage.

Among the alternative fuels existing for spark-ignition engines, ethanol is considered worldwide as an important renewable fuel when mixed with pure gasoline because of its favorable physicochemical properties. An in-depth and updated investigation on the issue of CO and HC engine out emissions related to use of ethanol/gasoline fuels in spark-ignition engines is therefore necessary. Starting from our experimental studies on engine out emissions of a last generation spark-ignition engine fueled with ethanol/gasoline fuels, the aim of this new investigation is to offer a complete literature review on the present state of ethanol combustion in last generation spark-ignition engines under real working conditions to clarify the possible change in CO and HC emissions. In the first section of this paper, a comparison between physicochemical properties of ethanol and gasoline is examined to assess the practicability of using ethanol as an alternative fuel for spark-ignition engines and to investigate the effect on engine out emissions and combustion efficiency. In the next section, this article focuses on the impact of ethanol/gasoline fuels on CO and HC formation. Many studies related to combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions in spark-ignition engines fueled with ethanol/gasoline fuels are thus discussed in detail. Most of these experimental investigations conclude that the addition of ethanol with gasoline fuel mixtures can really decrease the CO and HC exhaust emissions of last generation spark-ignition engines in several operating conditions.

Educational gamification consists of the use of game elements and game design techniques in the educational context. The objective of this study is to examine the existing evidence on the impact of educational gamification on student motivation and academic performance in the last five years in order to analyze its distribution over time, educational level, variables, and most used game elements, and know the advantages of its implementation in the classroom. For this, a systematic review is proposed through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology in three multidisciplinary databases, through an exhaustive search with inclusion and exclusion criteria on quantitative experimental studies that explore gamification in educational centers, which provide information about the most current lines of research. Fourteen studies were included in this review. These used experimental or quasi-experimental designs. Most of them report gamification as a valid learning strategy. The results support the conclusion that educational gamification has a potential impact on the academic performance, commitment, and motivation of students. Therefore, this study implies the need to expand research on the needs and challenges of students when learning with gamified techniques.
