Comparative study on the validity of monitoring test indexes of healthy fitness cardiopulmonary track and field sensor

With the continuous increase in social pressure and people’s higher urgency for physical health, the concept of healthy physical fitness has become more and more important and prominent. However, the research and standards for the validity of the health fitness monitoring test indicators have not been determined. In order to compare the validity of the health fitness test indicators, we adopt the cardiopulmonary track and field sensor technology to monitor the health fitness cardiopulmonary track and field sensor. A comparative study on the validity of test indicators, mainly to test the rationality of the cardiopulmonary endurance evaluation indicators of healthy physical fitness, and to carry out a new design of the concept of healthy physical fitness in track and field teaching, so that it is more inclined to improve the healthy physical fitness of athletes fitness. Research data shows that the average absolute value of the athlete’s maximum oxygen consumption is 2.51 L/min, the highest value is 3.96 L/min, and the lowest is 2.03 L/min. The average value of the absolute maximum oxygen consumption of girls is 1.79 L/min, the highest value is 2.89 L/min, and the minimum is 1.51 L/min. From these data, we can know that compared with traditional cardiopulmonary monitoring methods, the sensor monitoring studied in this paper has higher accuracy and wider application range. The peak cardiopulmonary power of athletes’ cardiopulmonary function detection using this method is closer to the actual value, while for the peak cardiopulmonary power detected by traditional methods, there is a big difference between the power and the actual value. For different athletes, the advantages of the algorithm in this paper are more obvious, indicating that the method in this paper has a higher detection accuracy for the cardiopulmonary function test of athletes during aerobic training.

T/R RF Switch with 150 ns Switching Time and over 100 dBc IMD for Wideband Mobile Applications in Thick Oxide SOI Process

This paper presents a fast-switching Transmit/Receive (T/R) Single-Pole-Double-Throw (SPDT) Radio Frequency (RF) switch. Thorough analyses have been conducted to choose the optimum number of stacks, transistor sizes, gate and body voltages, to satisfy the required specifications. This switch applies six stacks of series and shunt transistors as big as 3.9 mm/160 nm and 0.75 mm/160 nm, respectively. A negative charge pump and a voltage booster generate the negative and boosted control voltages to improve the harmonics and to keep Inter-Modulation Distortion (IMD) performance of the switch over 100 dBc. A Low Drop-Out (LDO) regulator limits the boosted voltage in Absolute Maximum Rating (AMR) conditions and improves the switch performance for Process, Voltage and Temperature (PVT) variations. To reduce the size, a dense custom-made capacitor consisting of different types of capacitors has been presented where they have been placed over each other in layout considering the Design Rule Checks (DRC) and applied in negative charge pump, voltage booster and LDO. This switch has been fabricated and tested in a 90 nm Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) process. The second and third IMD for all specified blockers remain over 100 dBc and the switching time as fast as 150 ns has been achieved. The Insertion Loss (IL) and isolation at 2.7 GHz are −0.17 dB and −33 dB, respectively. This design consumes 145 uA from supply voltage range of 1.65 V to 1.95 V and occupies 440 × 472 µm2 of die area.

An investigation of monthly mean maximum and absolute maximum temperatures of Bangladesh

Using synoptic and climatological data for 27 years (1951-1977) of 16 stations of Bangladesh, temporal and spatial variations of the ab3olute maximum temperature of Bangladesh have been studied. Empirical probabilities for the interval 35.loC-40.o0C and 40,1° -45.0°C of absolute maximum temperature have been examined. Some correlation characteristics between some pairs of station for some selected months have been analysed. An attempt has been made to explain the cause of temporal and spatial variations of maximum and absolute maximum temperatures from the point of view of synoptic meteorology.

Polarization-Independent Large Third-Order-Nonlinearity of Orthogonal Nanoantennas Coupled to an Epsilon-Near-Zero Material

The nonlinear optical response of common materials is limited by bandwidth and energy consumption, which impedes practical application in all-optical signal processing, light detection, harmonic generation, etc. Additionally, the nonlinear performance is typically sensitive to polarization. To circumvent this constraint, we propose that orthogonal nanoantennas coupled to Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material show a broadband (~1000 nm bandwidth) large optical nonlinearity simultaneously for two orthogonal polarization states. The absolute maximum value of the nonlinear refractive index n2 is 7.65 cm2∙GW−1, which is 4 orders of magnitude larger than that of the bare AZO film and 7 orders of magnitude larger than that of silica. The coupled structure not only realizes polarization independence and strong nonlinearity, but also allows the sign of the nonlinear response to be flexibly tailored. It provides a promising platform for the realization of ultracompact, low-power, and highly nonlinear all-optical devices on the nanoscale.

Determination of the Variability of Bioactive Compounds and Minerals in Olive Leaf along an Agronomic Cycle

Olive leaves are still considered waste in the oil industry; however, the leaves have a content of oleuropein and other bioactive compounds that gives them great potential to be transformed into by-products. The most appropriate moment along an agronomic cycle (November 2019 to October 2020) has been evaluated to take advantage of this potential of the olive leaves varieties of Picual, Cornicabra and Manzanilla. In addition, factors that affect the content of phenolic compounds such as absolute maximum and minimum temperatures, relative humidity, sunshine hours, rainfall, differential of temperatures and mineral nutrition have been studied. The results show that the pruning season was the best time to take advantage of the olive leaf due to its high oleuropein content, especially in Picual and Manzanilla. The variety was the factor that most affected all the phenolic compounds studied, while the absolute minimum temperature factor notably affected verbascoside. Particular mineral nutrients, such as Mg and Fe, turned out to be most useful for differentiating locations. The content of verbascoside and hydroxytyrosol was also affected by agronomic conditions (location/conventional or ecological).

Extreme Temperature Events in Serbia in Relation to Atmospheric Circulation

In this study, extremely warm and cold temperature events were examined based on daily maximum (Tx) and minimum (Tn) temperatures observed at 11 stations in Serbia during the period 1949–2018. Summer days (SU), warm days (Tx90), and heat waves (HWs) were calculated based on daily maximum temperatures, while frost days (FD) and cold nights (Tn10) were derived from daily minimum temperatures. Absolute maximum and minimum temperatures in Serbia rose but were statistically significant only for Tx in winter. Positive trends of summer and warm days, and negative trends of frost days and cold nights were found. A high number of warm events (SU, Tx90, and HWs) were recorded over the last 20 years. Multiple linear regression (MLR) models were applied to find the relationship between extreme temperature events and atmospheric circulation. Typical atmospheric circulation patterns, previously determined for Serbia, were used as predictor variables. It was found that MLR models gave the best results for Tx90, FD, and Tn10 in winter.

Scale up to infinity: the UWB Indoor Global Positioning System

Determining assets position with high accuracy and scalability is one of the most investigated technology on the market. The accuracy provided by satellites-based positioning systems (i.e., GLONASS or Galileo) is not always sufficient when a decimeter-level accuracy is required or when there is the need of localising entities that operate inside indoor environments. Scalability is also a recurrent problem when dealing with indoor positioning systems. This paper presents an innovative UWB Indoor GPS-Like local positioning system able to tracks any number of assets without decreasing measurements update rate. To increase the system’s accuracy the mathematical model and the sources of uncertainties are investigated. Results highlight how the proposed implementation provides positioning information with an absolute maximum error below 20 cm. Scalability is also resolved thanks to DTDoA transmission mechanisms not requiring an active role from the asset to be tracked.

State of Cenopopulations of Trommsdorffia ciliata (Thunb.) H.S. Pak (Asteraceae) in the Plant Communities of the Lower Reaches of the Ussuri River

The paper presents the results of studying the structure and state of four cenopopulations of the rare species Trommsdorffia ciliata (Thunb.) H.S. Pak in the valley of the lower reaches of the Ussuri River. The density of the studied cenopopulations is from 8 to 27 ind./m2. All studied cenopopulations are normal and incomplete. The absence or small number of juveniles in the ontogenetic spectrum of the studied cenopopulations is associated with a high projective cover of the herbaceous layer, which prevents the survival of this age group. According to the absolute maximum of ontogenetic groups of adult plants of all cenopopulations, Trommsdorffia ciliata are classified as young normal ones, where the maximum falls on individuals of the virginal state. An evaluation of population and organismic signs of the state of the studied cenopopulations showed that the most favorable conditions for the growth of Trommsdorffia ciliata are formed in a moist sedge-grass-herb meadow in the vicinity of Lonchakovo village. The measures for the protection of Trommsdorffia ciliata that are to include in the Red Book of the Khabarovsk krai (2019), to inhabit in a protected area and are to control the state of the known population of this species have been cited.
