Evaluation of the metrological reliability of a graduated cylinder from experimental data from an in-situ calibration.

ABSTRACT: This work presents the data experimentally collected in a chemical laboratory for the calibration of a graduated cylinder. There are several factors that can influence the volume measurement using this type of instrument and, consequently, its metrological reliability, for example: the internal geometry, the environmental conditions (ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity), the acceleration of gravity, the density of the air, among others. For the data collection it was necessary to use a glass liquid thermometer (Range: 0-10 °C), a digital thermohygrometer (Range: 0-100 °C and 0-99%RH) and a digital barometer (Range: 0-9999 mbar). Additionally, an analytical scale (Range: 0-220 g) was used for mass measurement. From the measurements obtained, it was possible to determine the in-situ air density and the buoyancy factor that influences the mass measurement. The data, rigorously obtained, present a potential use to determine the metrological reliability of a graduated cylinder for laboratory use and, additionally, contribute to perform a metrological validation of alternative methods for the calibration of graduated cylinder.

Metrological Challenges in Collaborative Sensing: Applicability of Digital Calibration Certificates.

Project description:IoT systems based on collaborative sensor networks are becoming increasingly common in various industries owing to the increased availability of low-cost sensors. The quality of the data provided by these sensors may be unknown. For these reasons, advanced data processing and sensor network self-calibration methods have become popular research topics. In terms of metrology, the self-calibration methods lack the traceability to the established measurement standards of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) through an unbroken chain-link of calibration. This problem can be solved by the ongoing digitalization of the metrology infrastructure. We propose a conceptual solution based on Digital Calibration Certificates (DCCs), Digital SI (D-SI), and cryptographic digital identifiers, for validation of data quality and trustworthiness. The data that enable validation and traceability can be used to improve analytics, decision-making, and security in industrial applications. We discuss the applicability and benefits of our solutions in a selection of industrial use cases, where collaborative sensing has already been introduced. We present the remaining challenges in the digitization and standardization processes regarding digital metrology and the future work required to address them.

Validation study: evaluation of the metrological quality of French hospital data for perinatal algorithms.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of our validation study was to assess the metrological quality of hospital data for perinatal algorithms on a national level.DesignValidation study.SettingThis was a multicentre study of the French medicoadministrative database on perinatal indicators.ParticipantsIn each hospital, we selected 150 discharge abstracts for delivery (after 22 weeks of gestation), in 2014, and their corresponding medical records. Overall, 22 hospitals were included.InterventionsA single investigator performed blind data collection from medical records in order to compare data from discharge abstracts with data from medical records. Finally, 3246 discharge abstracts were studied.Primary and secondary outcome measuresSeventy items, including maternal and delivery characteristics and maternal morbidity, were collected for each delivery stay.ResultsThe concordance rate of maternal age at delivery was 94.8% (95% CI 93.8 to 95.4). Combining the two forms of pre-existing diabetes, the algorithm presented a PPV of 65.9% and a sensitivity of 75.7%. The concordance rate of gestational age at delivery was 91.8% (90.9 to 92.7). Regarding gestational diabetes, the PPV was 80.8% (79.4 to 82.2) and the sensitivity was 79.5% (78.1 to 80.9). Regardless of the algorithm explored, the PPV for vaginal delivery was over 99%. For the diagnosis codes corresponding to immediate postpartum haemorrhage, the PPV was 77.7% (76.3 to 79.1) and the sensitivity was 75.5% (74.0 to 77.0). The algorithm for stillbirth presented a PPV of 89.4% (88.3 to 90.5) and a sensitivity of 95.4% (94.7 to 96.1).ConclusionsThis first national validation study of many perinatal algorithms suggests that the French national hospital database is an appropriate data source for epidemiological studies, except for some indicators which presented low PPV and/or sensitivity.

Experimental data on the behavior of a heat-generating fluid in a rotating horizontal cylinder under transverse vibrations.

Project description:The paper presents experimental data on the effect of transverse vibrations on a heat-generating fluid in a rotating horizontal cylinder. To obtain the data, an original experimental device was designed and manufactured. The data of temperature measurements in the cavity depending on the angular velocity of rotation of the cavity, frequency and amplitude of vibrations are presented. To estimate the intensity and structure of convection, the velocity fields of fluid motion relative to the cavity in cross sections are shown. The paper is related to a research article "Convection of a heat-generating fluid in a rotating cylindrical cavity subject to transverse vibrations" Vjatkin et al, 2019.

Evaluation on the tribological performance of ring/liner system under cylinder deactivation with consideration of cylinder liner deformation and oil supply.

Project description:In gasoline engines, CDA (cylinder deactivation) affects greatly the tribological performance of ring/liner system while reducing the emissions and improving the fuel economy. The analyses on the tribological performance of ring/liner system under the CDA mainly focus on the ideal circular cylinder liner and fixed fully flooded lubrication condition. In this study, a numerical investigation on the tribological performance of a compression ring-cylinder liner system is presented under the CDA with consideration of the cylinder liner deformation and the transition between the fully flooded and starved lubrication conditions. A mixed lubrication model coupled with oil transport model and JFO (Jacobson-Floberg-Olsson) conservative cavitation algorithm is proposed to evaluate the frictional properties. Based on the model, the tribological performance is investigated under the standard operation condition and the CDA. Meanwhile, the influence of cylinder liner deformation and oil supply on the tribological performance is also evaluated. Results show that the tribological performance of the compression ring-cylinder liner system is greatly changed when the CDA is adopted. In particular, under the CDA, the overall power loss and FMEP (friction mean effective pressure) value are increased about 27.29% and 53.51%. The study also demonstrates the necessity to consider the cylinder liner deformation and oil supply in the simulation of compression ring-cylinder liner system under the CDA.

Calibration of cognitive tests to address the reliability paradox for decision-conflict tasks.

Project description:Standard, well-established cognitive tasks that produce reliable effects in group comparisons also lead to unreliable measurement when assessing individual differences. This reliability paradox has been demonstrated in decision-conflict tasks such as the Simon, Flanker, and Stroop tasks, which measure various aspects of cognitive control. We aim to address this paradox by implementing carefully calibrated versions of the standard tests with an additional manipulation to encourage processing of conflicting information, as well as combinations of standard tasks. Over five experiments, we show that a Flanker task and a combined Simon and Stroop task with the additional manipulation produced reliable estimates of individual differences in under 100 trials per task, which improves on the reliability seen in benchmark Flanker, Simon, and Stroop data. We make these tasks freely available and discuss both theoretical and applied implications regarding how the cognitive testing of individual differences is carried out.

Further assessment of forward pressure level for in situ calibration.

Project description:Quantifying ear-canal sound level in forward pressure has been suggested as a more accurate and practical alternative to sound pressure level (SPL) calibrations used in clinical settings. The mathematical isolation of forward (and reverse) pressure requires defining the Thévenin-equivalent impedance and pressure of the sound source and characteristic impedance of the load; however, the extent to which inaccuracies in characterizing the source and/or load impact forward pressure level (FPL) calibrations has not been specifically evaluated. This study examined how commercially available probe tips and estimates of characteristic impedance impact the calculation of forward and reverse pressure in a number of test cavities with dimensions chosen to reflect human ear-canal dimensions. Results demonstrate that FPL calibration, which has already been shown to be more accurate than in situ SPL calibration, can be improved particularly around standing-wave null frequencies by refining estimates of characteristic impedance. Better estimates allow FPL to be accurately calculated at least through 10 kHz using a variety of probe tips in test cavities of different sizes, suggesting that FPL calibration can be performed in ear canals of all sizes. Additionally, FPL calibration appears a reasonable option when quantifying the levels of extended high-frequency (10-18 kHz) stimuli.
