Research  background  and  hypothesis.  Traditional  time  series  analysis  techniques,  which  are  also  used  for the analysis of cardiovascular signals, do not reveal the relationship between the  changes in the indices recorded associated with the multiscale and chaotic structure of the tested object, which allows establishing short-and long-term structural and functional changes.Research aim was to reveal the dynamical peculiarities of interactions of cardiovascular system indices while evaluating the functional state of track-and-field athletes and Greco-Roman wrestlers.Research methods. Twenty two subjects participated in the study, their average age of 23.5 ± 1.7 years. During the study standard 12 lead electrocardiograms (ECG) were recorded. The following ECG parameters were used in the study: duration of RR interval taken from the II standard lead, duration of QRS complex, duration of JT interval and amplitude of ST segment taken from the V standard lead.Research  results.  Significant  differences  were  found  between  inter-parametric  connections  of  ST  segment amplitude and JT interval duration at the pre and post-training testing. Observed changes at different hierarchical levels of the body systems revealed inadequate cardiac metabolic processes, leading to changes in the metabolic rate of the myocardium and reflected in the dynamics of all investigated interactions.Discussion and conclusions. It has been found that peculiarities of the interactions of ECG indices interactions show the exposure of the  functional changes in the body at the onset of the workload. The alterations of the functional state of the body and the signs of fatigue, after athletes performed two high intensity training sessions per day, can be assessed using the approach of the evaluation of interactions between functional variables. Therefore the evaluation of the interactions of physiological signals by using time series analysis methods is suitable for the observation of these processes and the functional state of the body.Keywords: electrocardiogram, time series, functional state.

Abstract. In this first part of a two-part work, we study the calibration of the Dynamic Wake Meandering (DWM) model using high spatial and temporal resolution SpinnerLidar measurements of the wake field collected at the Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) facility located in Lubbock, Texas, U.S.A. We derive two-dimensional wake flow characteristics including wake deficit, wake turbulence and wake meandering from the lidar observations under different atmospheric stability conditions, inflow wind speeds and downstream distances up to five rotor diameters. We then apply Bayesian inference to obtain a probabilistic calibration of the DWM model, where the resulting joint distribution of parameters allows both for model implementation and uncertainty assessment. We validate the resulting fully-resolved wake field predictions against the lidar measurements and discuss the most critical sources of uncertainty. The results indicate that the DWM model can accurately predict the mean wind velocity and turbulence fields in the far wake region beyond four rotor diameters, as long as properly-calibrated parameters are used and wake meandering time series are accurately replicated. We demonstrate that the current DWM-model parameters in the IEC standard lead to conservative wake deficit predictions. Finally, we provide practical recommendations for reliable calibration procedures.

Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to the stroke, blood clots, heart failure and other heart related complications. This causes the symptoms like rapid and irregular heartbeat, fluttering, shortness of breath etc. In India for every around 4000 people eight of them are suffering from Atrial Fibrillation. P-wave Morphology.  Abnormality of P-wave (Atrial ECG components) seen during sinus rhythm are associated with Atrial fibrillation. P-wave duration is the best predictor of preoperative atrial fibrillation. but the small amplitudes of atrial ECG and its gradual increase from isometric line create difficulties in defining the onset of P wave in the Standard Lead Limb system (SLL).Studies shows that prolonged P-wave have duration in patients (PAF) In this Study, a Modified Lead Limb (MLL) which solves the practical difficulties in analyzing the P-ta interval for both in healthy subjects and Atrial Fibrillation patients. P-Ta wave interval and P-wave duration can be estimated with following proposed steps which is applicable for both filtered and unfiltered atrial ECG components which follows as the clinical database trials. For the same the p-wave fibrillated signals that escalates the diagnosis follows by providing minimal energy to recurrent into a normal sinus rhythm.

Lead containing bronzes are widely used as bearings, bushings and sliding plates. Lead is a heavy metal and known to be harmful to people and environment, but currently no feasible substitute material exists in many engineering applications. The ecological considerations in recent years have led to restrictions by the European Commission on the use of lead for example in the bearings used in cars (The Directive on the end-of-life of vehicles). However, due to the lack of substitutes for lead in many application areas, the ban has been given an exemption. The aim of the ECOBEARINGS project was to evaluate, whether any metallic or composite bearing material has similar tribological and mechanical properties as the currently used standard lead bronzes. In heavy machine engineering, lead bronze alloys containing up to 10-20 % of Pb are commonly used as sliding bearings such as thrust and journal bearings. In lead bronzes, lead has a function of a solid lubricant especially during the start of the operation of the bearing. Additionally, lead bronzes form a soft sliding surface where small contamination particles can be embedded in the material without causing an abrasive effect. A variety of different lead-free bearing solutions are already commercially available, but there are many applications where the emergency lubricating properties of lead cannot be substituted yet. It has been proposed that other solid lubricants such as graphite or bismuth could possibly have similar tribological characteristics as lead in bronze bearing materials. In this work, bronze alloys containing solid lubricants such as bismuth and graphite were produced by casting and spray forming. The alloys were characterized and tribologically tested in boundary lubricated and dry sliding conditions. The results were compared with the testing results of lead bronze. On the basis of the results, it was noted that different solid lubricants have very special tribological characteristics. This information can be used in the further development of ecologically sound bearing materials.

Comparisons are made between results of 81 recent tests on beam columns subjected to unsymmetrical and biaxially eccentric loads and the capacities predicted by design equations recommended by CSA standard S16.1-M78 — Steel Structures for Buildings — Limit States Design. It is concluded that the general provisions of the standard lead to satisfactory designs whereas the detailed procedure given in the Appendix of the standard may lead to a higher proportion of unsafe results.

A wearable robot is a controlled and actuated device that is in direct contact with its user. As such, the implied requirements of this device are that it must be portable, lightweight and most importantly safe. To achieve these goals an actuator with a good ‘power to weight’ ratio, good mechanical efficiency, good ‘strength to weight’ ratio and that is safe is desired. The design of the standard lead screw does not normally perform well in any of these categories. The typical lead screw has low pitch angles and large radii, thereby yielding low mechanical efficiencies and high weight. However, using the design procedure outlined in this text both efficiency and weight are improved, thus yielding a lead screw system with performances that rival human muscle. The result of an example problem reveals a feasible lead screw design that has a ‘power to weight’ ratio of 277W/kg, approaching that of the DC motor driving it, at 312W/kg, as well as a mechanical efficiency of 0.74, and a maximum ‘strength to weight’ ratio of 11.3kN/kg(1154kgf/kg).
