The low-density and high-specific-surface-area of bicontinuous nanoporous structures have the potential to enhance the applicability of MGs in catalysis, sensors, and lightweight structural designs. Here, we report molecular dynamics simulations of tensile loading deformation and failure of bicontinuous nanoporous Cu64Zr36 MG with 55% porosity and 4.4 nm ligament size. Results indicate an anomalous mechanical behavior featuring delocalized plastic deformation preceding ductile failure. The deformation follows two mechanisms: i) Necking of ligaments aligned with the loading direction and ii) progressive alignment of randomly oriented ligaments. Failure occurs at 0.16 strain, following massive rupture of ligaments. This work indicates that a bicontinuous nanoporous design is able to effectively delocalize strain localization in a MG due to a combination of size effect on the ductility of MGs resulting in nano ligaments necking and progressive asynchronous alignment of ligaments.","PeriodicalId":207061,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Dynamical System (Topic)","volume":"464 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127003475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, various research has been done and the results show the value of FRR still low and the value of FAR still high. Thus, one of the methods suggests, is enhancing the current system using keystroke dynamics. Keystroke dynamics is a type of bio-metric authentication that does not require any special hardware, easy to use as the same routine as normal password authentication. Therefore, this research proposed an authentication system using keystroke dynamics to prevent the system from intruders. A system is developed that consist of two parts which are enrollment and verification. Then, a prototype is developed for testing process that consists of 3 main modules, namely Enrollment, Client/Server Connection and, Verification and Retraining. Based on the testing, the system proved that the keystroke dynamic authentication system was able to implement in client/server environment and shows the value of EER is low that indicates it provide a better system authentication. In future, the system can be improved by enhancing the security, performance, and user interface.","PeriodicalId":207061,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Dynamical System (Topic)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121975917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bugrova","doi":"10.15587/2706-5448.2020.200995","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15587/2706-5448.2020.200995","url":null,"abstract":"The object of research is a conceptual approach to the process of controlling the dynamics of the financial and economic efficiency of a construction project as a result of engineering has been developed. Acceleration of scientific and technological progress underlines the relevance of this topic. It is established that the theory of the project value dynamics is based on three laws. The first law of the project value dynamics emphasizes that a qualitative, dynamic growth of value occurs only through innovation or rationalization, and the rest of the design changes is static. Charts of isovalue demonstrate the potential state of the financial and economic performance of the project in the four-dimensional space «time-benefits-costs-risks». Each subsequent line of isovalue, which runs farther from the origin, reflects a higher level of intense project value. The second law of value dynamics indicates that entropy is gradually decreasing as a result of the project. Thus, the earlier engineering sessions take place (within the project life cycle) for introducing innovations, the higher the potential for influencing the dynamics of the project value. The third law of the project value dynamics provides that the absolute maximum value cannot be achieved. So, innovation, unlike other factors of financial and economic growth, is an inexhaustible source of increasing the value of projects. The change in the «benefit-cost ratio» (BCR) adequately reflects the project value dynamics. This indicator clearly takes into account all four factors (measurements) of project effectiveness and captures precisely dynamic, qualitative changes in value. BCR is very similar to the definition of value, which is used in functional value and hierarchical analysis. This promotes mutual understanding and convergence in communications between project stakeholders (in the integrated Crystal model, value management). The process of controlling the project value dynamics directs the work of the engineering team to achieve project results that are best suited to the interests of investors, subject to a careful attitude to nature.","PeriodicalId":207061,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Dynamical System (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129637282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nerubatskyi","doi":"10.15587/1729-4061.2020.198660","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15587/1729-4061.2020.198660","url":null,"abstract":"The longitudinal-dynamic load on a railroad train has been studied at its steady motion along the track of a homogeneous profile. A value of the longitudinal loading that a train is exposed to has been established. The calculations were carried out for a train consisting of 40 similar semi-wagons. The magnitude of the longitudinal loading, in this case, is taken to equal 1.2 MN. It is important to note that when increasing the motion speed, as well as the weight of a train, the magnitude of the longitudinal load may exceed the specified value. This contributes to the additional loading on the bearing structures of cars on the train and can cause damage to them. In addition, significant longitudinal-dynamic loads contribute to disrupting the motion stability of cars in the train. In order to reduce the longitudinal-dynamic efforts in the train under operating modes, including braking, it has been proposed to use, instead of a standard automatic coupling device, a conceptual coupler. In this case, the impact's kinetic energy is damped by transforming it into the work of a viscous resistance force. This resistance is created by moving a viscous liquid through the throttle holes of the piston based on the principle of hydraulic damper operation. To substantiate the use of a conceptual coupler, the calculation has been performed based on a method for determining the strength of the coupling device through the imaginary separation of a train into two parts. Taking into consideration a coefficient of the viscous resistance, which is created by the conceptual coupler, the acceleration experienced by a train reached about 0.8 m/s 2 . In other words, the use of a conceptual coupler makes it possible to reduce the longitudinal loading on a train by almost 30 % compared with the standard scheme of interaction between a locomotive and cars. The rod of the conceptual coupler has been estimated for strength. It has been established that the maximum equivalent stresses do not exceed permissible limits. The proposed measures would contribute to the reduction of a dynamic load on a railroad train under the loading modes of operation. The implementation of a given concept could also contribute to bringing down the damage to railroad stock in exploitation","PeriodicalId":207061,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Dynamical System (Topic)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127863973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, one of the many species colonizing the lung airways, can undergo pathoadaptation, leading to a mucoid phenotype with interesting material properties. We hypothesize that the surface properties and extracellular materials of mucoid P. aeruginosa cells greatly influence the mechanical behavior of their films at fluid interfaces. In this study, we investigate the interfacial properties of films formed by nonmucoid (PANT) and mucoid (PASL) strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from CF patients. We use pendant drop elastometry to analyze the interfacial response of the films formed by PANT and PASL at the hexadecane-water interface. The dynamic rheological analyses of the films highlight the distinctive signature of the mucoid strains at fluid interfaces. The mucoid films exhibit greater relaxation following a compressive strain than a tensile one, while a full hysteresis response is achieved by the nonmucoid films; this indicates that the material properties of the PANT films are conserved under both compression and tension. The wrinkling and shape analyses of the interfacial biological films elucidate that the mucoid strain exhibits remarkable viscoelastic properties, enabling the remodeling of the living films and dissipation of the compressive stress. The comparative analysis of the material properties of mucoid and nonmucoid P. aeruginosa cells indicates that mucoid switch can play an important role in protecting the bacteria from interfacial stresses. Further characterization of interfacial bacterial films will provide new insights into the development of methods for controlling interfacial films of bacteria.","PeriodicalId":207061,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Dynamical System (Topic)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124776172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this case, the determining aspect is often rapid identification of existing defects and damage to the main bearing structural elements of machine bodies, as well as preventing their development into more serious structural deviations.The aim of the study is to develop a specialized method that allows identifying defects of the main bearing structural elements of the bodies of one-section electric locomotives at the early stages of emergence and development. This method of dynamic integral evaluation is based on the analysis of partial dynamic spectrum of the electric locomotive. Based on the magnitude of the spectrum deviation relative to the theoretical one obtained from finite element modeling, it is possible to determine the approximate nature and location of damage, especially latent.The frequency spectrum of the main bearing structural elements of the bodies of one-section electric locomotives obtained in the course of the studies is rather dense and lies in the frequency range up to 20 Hz. The presence of damage reduces its value, and for the most common types of defects, this reduction is 25–30 %.The effectiveness of the practical application of the dynamic integral evaluation method is illustrated by the example of the DS3-008 machine. The method revealed hidden damage to one of the elements of the bearing frame of the front surface of the cab, which was not revealed during the standard maintenance procedure of the machine. The use of the method of dynamic integral evaluation of the technical condition of electric locomotives is quite versatile and can also be recommended for other units of railway rolling stock.

These challenges occur at three different levels of pedestrian detection, viz. video acquisition, human detection, and its tracking. The challenges in acquiring video are, viz. illumination variation, abrupt motion, complex background, shadows, object deformation, etc. Human detection and tracking challenges are varied poses, occlusion, crowd density area tracking, etc. These results in lower recognition rate.
