The windsock is a meteorological instrument that indicates wind direction. This instrument is critical in sea travel and aviation and this sensor can prevent accidents in emergency situations such as storms caused by a particular wind direction.hus, in this work it is proposed to develop an electronic windsock using a rotary encoder module and infrared LEDS. For the development of the Wind Direction Sensor project an Arduino microcontroller and c ++ language were used. The engineered hybrid system converts the rotations into an electrical signal. These signals were associated with east, west, north and south orientations. The projected sensor presented a lower probability of error in the wind direction information when compared to the windsock that employs 5mm Infrared LED.

The Impact

Background: In September 2012, a series of methanol poisonings occurred in the Czech Republic as a result of an influx of illicit alcohol into (predominantly) cheap alcoholic beverages on the retail market. The public authorities decided to prevent public health risks by prohibiting sales of liquors that contained more than 20% alcohol (> 20% liquor). The “partial” prohibition lasted for almost two weeks, but the poisonings still continued. This article assesses the impact of the methanol poisoning risks and the (partial) prohibition on alcohol drinking patterns, and describes the understanding of risks and their mitigation in vulnerable groups. Methods: The rapid assessment and response method (RAR) was used during the (partial) alcohol prohibition. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with respondents recruited for the study in alcohol-intake settings (e.g., bars and restaurants, street alcohol outlets) in six regions. In total, 107 alcohol users were interviewed, mostly with risky drinking patterns (69% scored ≥ 1 on the CAGE scale), and 53 alcohol retailers/staff members serving alcohol. Results: About one third of the alcohol users in the study (35%) drank > 20% liquors during the prohibition; a higher score on the CAGE scale was associated with a lower probability of drinking > 20% liquors during the period of the prohibition, probably because of the perception of being at high risk of poisoning. There was some increase in drinking liquors with an alcohol content less than 20%. Those who continued drinking > 20% liquors typically did so in the belief that some sources of these were safe. Conclusions: Public policies aimed at reducing the risk of methanol poisonings in emergency situations should adopt broader measures than those focusing on market control. These measures include increased access to brief interventions, addressing the strategies that alcohol consumers adopt to prevent risk, and, in general, helping consumers make informed choices to prevent further fatalities.

Multisensory Information

Most animals survive and thrive due to navigation behavior to reach their destinations. In order to navigate, it is important for animals to integrate information obtained from multisensory inputs and use that information to modulate their behavior. In this study, by using a virtual reality (VR) system for an insect, we investigated how an adult silkmoth integrates visual and wind direction information during female search behavior (olfactory behavior). According to the behavioral experiments using the VR system, the silkmoth had the highest navigation success rate when odor, vision, and wind information were correctly provided. However, we found that the success rate of the search signifcantly reduced if wind direction information was provided that was incorrect from the direction actually detected. This indicates that it is important to acquire not only odor information, but also wind direction information correctly. In other words, Behavior was modulated by the degree of co-incidence between the direction of arrival of the odor and the direction of arrival of the wind, and posture control (angular velocity control) was modulated by visual information. We mathematically modeled the modulation of behavior using multisensory information and evaluated it by simulation. As a result, the mathematical model not only succeeded in reproducing the actual female search behavior of the silkmoth, but can also improve search success relative to the conventional odor source search algorithm.

This article attempts to address how Western and Arab (North and South) feminists are able to envision solidarity and empower women across local and national boundaries through (1) connecting local and global gender issues and (2) reconciling Western feminist scholarships and Arab women’s culturally specific positions in international and cross-cultural frameworks. Given the historical background of the Middle East, there is a need to understand multiple factors such as class, nation, racism, sexism, colonialism and imperialism that influence Arab women’s struggles for liberation. Arab women’s struggles cannot be defined and situated in a context that removes the diversity of their historical experiences, location, religion and cultural factors. I would like to examine how Arab women are marginalized within the sphere of Western feminism(s) because they have been portrayed as passive victims instead of active participants seeking mobility and changes in their society. In dismantling the binary construct of East/West, liberated/oppressed, colonizers/colonized and progressive/backwards in global feminist discourses, there is an urgent need for a cross-cultural dialogue between Western and Arab feminisms in order to create space that allows differences to be recognized and examined, and crafting a meeting point for women to relate across their differences. For Western feminists trying to make sense of Middle Eastern issues and Arab women’s struggles, solidarity will remain elusive unless they recognize that women’s experiences and struggles cannot be separated from race, class, nation, colonization and imperialism.

The proposed method aims in designing a system which is capable identifying the emergency situation in ambulance and automatically controls the traffic at the signal point. This feature helps in decreasing the death rate which occurs mostly due to traffic congestion in emergency situation. Traffic density sensor is used to increase the green time when the traffic is heavy. Zigbee is used for establishing wireless communication between system in ambulance and the system at signal point, few control buttons in ambulance are used for indicating emergency situation, and traffic signal indicators are to be controlled depending on emergency situation in the ambulance. In Zigbee transmitter, which is their in the ambulance and placed four buttons i.e. east, west, north and south. The driver presses either of these button depending on the ambulance direction. So, this transmitter sends signal to that Zigbee receiver placed at the traffic junction and the PIC microcontroller takes the action of controlling the LEDs and IR obstacle sensor identify the heavy traffic.

In 1999, fieldwork was resumed by the British team at Adzhiyska Vodenitsa, Vetren, the site of an inlandemporionwhich has been identified with ancient Pistiros (SEG43. 486, 46. 872*). Excavations were conducted on the terrace with architectural remains in two sectors, north and south of the main east-west road. In the northern sector, 22 pits were investigated. The faunal material from these pits reveals specific butchering methods and the re-articulation of complete body parts following butchery. Among the finds aregraffition pottery, including a votive inscription to Zeus. In the southern sector, there are traces of residential use. The report includes an account of geophysical prospection to determine the nature of land use beyond the terrace, with evidence suggesting that the settlement was directly adjacent to the River Maritsa (ancient Hebros).

Weather monitoring and forecasting system plays an important role nowadays in all the aspect of science, trade and other fields not limited to the field of cultivation, farming, fishery, naval trade, shipping, military operations, air navigation etc. Wind speed and wind direction is one of the most vital weather variables like moisture, pressure, temperature, density, rain forecast, solar radiation, clouds, air masses, fronts and storms. In this paper, a low cost PIC16F887 microcontroller based portable wind speed and wind direction monitoring system called an anemometer is designed & experimented. The designed anemometer is divided into two parts namely mechanical and electrical parts. Both parts are developed, designed and tested in this research work. Wind turns the cup of Anemometer and produced mechanical energy that converted to electrical energy or signal. The electrical signal or pulse intervals determine by the microcontroller and generate consequence pulses to find out the wind speed. The programming codes inside the microcontroller helps to extract the voltage drops measured from a potentiometer connected to the mechanical part of Anemometer and intellect the wind direction precisely. A lucrative 16x2 liquid crystal display (LCD) is used to display the wind speed and direction.
