1. Fuzzy logic transformer build estimation. (Letters to the Editor)

Abstract

Mechanical fitting of transformer windings tightly into the core ensures an efficient use of window space. Fuzzy logic transformer build estimation is intended to implement approximate solutions suggested in imprecise terms for better mechanical fit of windings into the core. For imperfect fit, it readjusts the buildup parameters in iterations to optimize mechanical fit. The results have demonstrated the potentiality of usage of fuzzy logic in the mechanical-fit process of a transformer. Index Terms--Build, buildup parameters, fuzzy logic, mechanical fit, transformer.

Abstract

We have synthesized Cu-Mg-Zn ferrites by using soft chemistry routes using oxalate precursors. Thermogravimetry (TG) studies have been carried out for selecting decomposition temperatures and weight loss measurements. These studies reveal that in all the samples, decomposition occurs in two stages. The lattice parameters show a gradually decreasing trend with increasing [Mg.sup.2+] content which is attributed to ionic radii of [Cu.sup.2+] and [MR.sup.2+]. The variation in saturation magnetization is attributed to cation migration of [Mg.sup.2+] ions to A-site. The density of samples increases gradually with increasing [Mg.sup.2+] content. This is attributed to the fact that [Mg.sup.2+] ions have less ionic radii. The sample with x = 0.25 in [Mg.sub.x][Cu.sub.(0.5-x)][Zn.sub.0.5][Fe.sub.2][O.sub.4] highest permeability ([[Mu].sub.i] = 2181) which is sufficiently higher than that reported for ETKMG-5 ferrite ([[Mu].sub.i] = 550). Index Terms - Cu-Mg-Zn ferrites, ferritization temperature, high permeability ferrites, synthesis of ferrites.

Abstract

The article reports on the undefined drug resistance and mortality rate of tuberculosis (TB). It says that doctors have been effectively battling TB and bacteria with antibiotics for decades. It tells that global TB mortality rate has gone down 41 percent since 1990, but poor diagnosis and mismanagement of powerful drugs have created strains that are getting harder to fight. Moreover, most TB infections are latent and asymptomatic, but once infection becomes active, the mortality rate is high.

Abstract

The article discusses the nation of India as of October 2012, focusing on an analysis of the country's economic potential and its ability to transform the lives of its citizens through social and economic reform measures. It states that the middle class has grown in India, yet close to one-third of India still lives in poverty. Foreign investments in India from firms such as the automobile manufacturer Hyundai are also addressed.

6. Back to the Land.

Author

Schuman, Michael, Bhowmick, Nilanjana, Jiang, Chengcheng, Oda, Yuki, Sawant, Shashikant, and Van Egmond, Joost

Subjects
AGRICULTURAL policy, FOOD security, GLOBAL Financial Crisis, 2008-2009, POVERTY in developing countries, DEVELOPING countries, PREVENTION
Abstract

The author reports that antipoverty measures, food shortages and the global recession are causing a rethinking of world economic policy to increase the support of agriculture and rural development. Food security and a renewed focus on farming are being implemented in Africa and India. The article mentions the policy of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who called for "another Green Revolution" similar to the investments into agriculture that were made in the 1960s and 1970s. INSET: Green Thumbs.
