Simulation of various resonators as viscometer for engine oils

The viscometer is an instrument used to identify the resistance of a fluid to shear or tensile stress. Accurate characterization of viscosity is important in analyzing many engineering situations, especially in the automation industries, which consume engine oils that associate with the functionality or performance of vehicles and machinery. Therefore, this work aims to simulate various sensors via resonators before the fabrication process is performed. The viscosity is justified based on the variation of dielectric properties of the fluid. T-resonator shows the highest sensitivity in all designs with an S11 value of -54.212dB and DSRR with Roger 3003 performs the best in terms of Q-factor with 1883. This simulation results can be verified through experimentation as future works

Wrong Turn in Cyberspace: Using ICANN to Route Around the APA and the Constitution

The Internet relies on an underlying centralized hierarchy built into the domain name system (DNS) to control the routing for the vast majority of Internet traffic. At its heart is a single data file, known as the root. Control of the root provides singular power in cyberspace. This Article first describes how the United States government found itself in control of the root. It then describes how, in an attempt to meet concerns that the United States could so dominate an Internet chokepoint, the U. S. Department of Commerce (DoC) summoned into being the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a formally private nonprofit California corporation. DoC then signed contracts with ICANN in order to clothe it with most of the U. S. government\u27s power over the DNS, and convinced other parties to recognize ICANN\u27s authority. ICANN then took regulatory actions that the U. S. Department of Commerce was unable or unwilling to make itself, including the imposition on all registrants of Internet addresses of an idiosyncratic set of arbitration rules and procedures that benefit third-party trademark holders. Professor Froomkin then argues that the use of ICANN to regulate in the stead of an executive agency violates fundamental values and policies designed to ensure democratic control over the use of government power, and sets a precedent that risks being expanded into other regulatory activities. He argues that DoC\u27s use of ICANN to make rules either violates the APA\u27s requirement for notice and comment in rulemaking and judicial review, or it violates the Constitution\u27s nondelegation doctrine. Professor Froomkin reviews possible alternatives to ICANN, and ultimately proposes a decentralized structure in which the namespace of the DNS is spread out over a transnational group of policy partners with DoC

WeObserve Cookbook:Guidelines for creating successful and sustainable Citizen Observatories

The WeObserve Cookbook has been especially designed for groups or individuals who are leading or will lead Citizen Observatory projects and initiatives. It provides lessons on best practice and guides users through resources such as tools, scientific papers, training materials and networks. The guidance, tools, resources and insights captured in the Cookbook have been produced, tested and reviewed by the WeObserve project consortium and/or the WeObserve Communities of Practice. Many of the resources are well-documented and have been widely used in citizen science and citizen observatory projects. Most descriptions include a key reference, soyou can explore more about their background or their application
