Fabrication of lightweight aluminium metal matrix composites and validation in green vehicles

FLAMINGo will propose a novel industrial manufacturing route for the efficient production of high performance lightweight Aluminum composite materials thanks to a novel metallurgical and forming combined approach for making automotive parts. The intensification of use of the Aluminium composites will be driven mainly by the battery-electric vehicle (BEV) technology that are forcing automakers to look for innovative ways to lightweight the vehicles. The goals of FLAMINGo will be related to the manufacturing of a strengthened Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites Al-MMC with elevated properties (+200% strength and +30% stiffness) compared to current Al alloys used in automotive. FLAMINGo will provide engineering solutions to substitute  steel components in BEV automotive parts and achieve a substantial reduction of weight  (up to 20%). To reach these goals the project will target the following development steps at prototype and full scale: # The production of nanoparticles concentrated masterbatches of Al-MMC, via solid state mechanical alloying, to assure a complete dispersion of the nanoparticles in the Al metal before inoculation in the melt # Casting of Al-MMC components by inoculating the masterbatch in an Al melt, and homogenized by ultrasonication and electromagnetic stirring systems # Production of smaller components (brackets and connectors) by Low Pressure Die Casting LPDC and bigger components, like subframes, by Green Sand Casting to demonstrate broader feasibility and applicability of Al-MMC.  #  Extrusion of cast billets for making  profiles for the body frame # Identification of the welding techniques for joining Al-MMC components, and assessment of the application via TIG, GTAW and RSW. # Use of these components for substitution of steels and aluminium parts in electric vehicles, validation of components estimated service life and installation on vehicles. # Recycling of Al-MMC components supported also by the use of secondary aluminium in the formulation

Digital Modeling of a Time delayed Continuous-Time System

Control Theory for continuous-time system has been well developed. Due to the development of computer technology, digital control scheme are employed in many areas. When delays are in control systems, it is hard to control the system efficiently. Delays by controller-to-actuator and sensor-to-controller deteriorate control performance and could possibly destabilize the overall system. In this paper, a new approximated discretization method and digital design for control systems with multiple state, input and output delays and a generalized bilinear transformation method with a tunable parameter are also provided, which can re-transform the integer time-delayed discrete-time model to its continuous-time model. Illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed method.

Conséquences cardiovasculaires de l’hypothermie

Hypothermia, defined as body temperature equal to or inferior to 35℃ is often encountered in the intensive care patients. It can be accidental or therapeutic, in which case it plays a role in certain ischemia-reperfusion processes. Hypothermia has multiple cardiac and vascular effects including initial tachycardia followed by bradycardia; a preservation of myocardial contractility in case of mild or moderate hypothermia, and an initially stable or decreased cardiac index that decreases further during profound hypothermia; a decrease in myocardial and overall metabolic requirements with an increase in SvO2 resulting in a favorable or stable ratio of oxygen delivery/consumption despite the usual hypoxia-hypocapnia; an increase in overall vascular resistance despite a decrease in sensitivity to exogenous catecholamines; a tendency to hypovolemia essentially due to coldinduced diuresis.
Einwirkungskombinationen für Flachbodentanks nach Eurocode - Beispiele (Teil 2)

Fur den der Nachweis Standsicherheit von Flachbodentanks mussen Statiker und Hersteller insbesondere kombinierte Lasteinwirkungen zuverlassig ermitteln. Dazu zahlen unter anderem Wind- oder Schneelasten genauso wie Verkehrslasten auf den Dachern oder Drucke und Sogwirkungen. Das Tragverhalten von Flachbodentanks ist aufgrund ihrer Konstruktion komplex. Die verschiedenen Einwirkungen werden zunachst individuell und dann in Kombination bestimmt, um wiederum ihre Auswirkungen auf das Bauwerk zu ermitteln. Die Herausforderung: Bautechnische Standsicherheitsnachweise sind mit Einfuhrung des Eurocodes teilweise aufwandiger. Auserdem weichen dessen Regeln, um die Kombination von Lasten zu bestimmen, von jenen der DIN 18800 ab. Wahrend der erste Teil dieses Beitrags [1] eine einheitliche Anwendung und ein praxisgerechtes, allgemein abgestimmtes Vorgehen diskutiert hat, stehen im zweiten Teil die Beispiele im Vordergrund.

Load combinations for flat-bottom storage tanks according to Eurocodes – Examples (part 2). Structural engineers and manufacturers must produce reliable calculations, particularly of load combinations, to establish the structural integrity of flat-bottom storage tanks. Load types include for example wind or snow and live loads on tank roofs as well as pressure and suction. Given by the design and construction of flat-bottom tanks, their load-bearing characteristics are complex. The various load types must be determined, first individually and then in combination, before their impact on the structure can be calculated. The challenging nature of the task is exacerbated by the increased complexity of structural stability analyses that has accompanied the introduction of the Eurocode. In addition, the rules specified in the Code for the calculation of load combinations deviate from those in the DIN 18800 standard. The first part of the article [1] examined possibilities for uniform application and a practical procedure in line with general consensus, while the second section focuses on examples.

When the locking unit (10) is in a locked state and the locking bolt (12) extends precisely in the axial direction, a first contact region (71) between the locking bolt (12) and the stop element (61) and a second contact region (72) between the locking bolt (12) and the rotary latch (20) partially overlap in the axial direction, or the first contact region (71) lies completely within the second contact region (72) in the axial direction. The invention further relates to a vehicle seat (1), comprising at least one such locking unit (10).
How Has Globalisation Affected Inflation in China?

This paper investigates how globalisation has affected inflation in China. We estimated standard Phillips curve inflation equations and examined whether globalisation has affected the structure of inflation dynamics as captured by the Phillips curve. Empirical results suggest that the globalisation of the Chinese economy has changed the behaviour of inflation dynamics. In particular, the impact of domestic and global output gaps on domestic inflation in China has changed significantly since 1994. Before 1994, the domestic output gap was a major factor in driving domestic inflation. After 1994, however, the global output gap plays a significant and more important role in affecting domestic inflation. The finding implies that Chinese monetary authorities should specifically take into account the developments in global output in their monetary policymaking process.

Power through attraction: british, greek and turkish cultural diplomacy in cyprus, 1945-1974

CuDiCy will investigate the cultural diplomacy (CD) of three states: the UK, Greece and Turkey, as it was practiced in Cyprus between 1945 and 1974. The action will be conducted by Dr. Maria Hadjiathanasiou, at the University of Nicosia (Cyprus), under the supervision of Hubert Faustmann, Professor of History and Political Science at the Department of Politics and Governance. Τhe action includes Secondments at the Embassy of Greece in Nicosia and, at the British Council in London. Timely and relevant, CuDiCy aspires to set a new paradigm in the growing field of CD, by becoming the study model for an innovative approach towards the exploration of external cultural influence in countries which accommodate ethnically diverse populations, for example Syria and Lebanon. It will contribute to the discussion about the conceptualisation of power, politics, authority and governance and, on the formation and transformation of identity. CuDiCy will achieve this by tracing and analysing the ways state and non-state cultural actors influenced the progress of events in Cyprus, from the end of the Second World War to the Turkish invasion. Time, location, concept and structure will be used as critical determinants to consider CD’s role. The methodology is crucial to CuDiCy’s main objective which is to expose the diverse and complicated functions, actions, visions and interpretations of what constituted CD during this period, to understand what its aim was, and to investigate how and if it accomplished its tasks. CuDiCy has a strong cross-sectoral multidisciplinary focus, involving the fields of History, IR, Political Science and the Humanities. It includes both the transfer of knowledge to the host institution and the training of the candidate in new methodologies and theoretical concepts. CuDiCy’s results will enrich and expand the discussion on global CD significantly, shedding light on a little researched region, with implications on what constitutes successful CD today.

One-Step Backtracking Algorithm Based on Viterbi Algorithm in GMSK Demodulation

Viterbi algorithm is a commonly used algorithm for Gaussian filtered minimum frequency shift keying (GMSK) demodulation, but there exist some problems such as large delay, high overhead, and data overflow in the hardware implementation. Aiming at the problems of delay and overhead, we propose a novel update rule to optimize the stored transfer-state information table and realize one-step backtracking in this paper. It also ensures the realization of pipeline operation, reduces demodulation delay, and saves hardware resources. Furthermore, we adopt combinational logic to perform pre-decision, which not only satisfies the timing requirements, but also achieves the anti-overflow. The hardware implementation results demonstrate the feasibility and correctness of the design.
Clean bioprinting - Fabrication of 3D organ models devoid of animal components

Bioprinting is a rapidly developing technology that enables the exact positioning of living cells embedded in bio-materials in precise spatial arrangements to fabricate engineered tissues and organs. While the ultimate goal of bio­printing approaches is to produce organs for transplantation purposes, bioprinted organ models also hold great potential for research purposes to serve as alternatives to animal experiments. By using human cells, humanized organ models can be generated that may produce more relevant results for human (patho-)physiology than animal models. However, standard bioprinting procedures currently use numerous hidden animal components. Virtually all studies published in the field to date make use of cells grown in media with fetal bovine serum (FBS). In addition, Matrigel, the extracellular matrix (ECM) harvested from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm sarcoma grown in mice, is widely employed to cultivate stem cells and 3D organ models. Finally, most bioinks currently in use contain gelatin or comparable animal components to improve cell viability and adhesion. The present review will give an introduction to the potential of bioprinting to fabricate 3D models that may be substituted for animal experiments and will go on to describe strategies to replace animal components cur­rently included in standard procedures of bioprinting. These approaches comprise the adaptation of cells to FBS-free media, the use of bioinks composed of synthetic or plant material, and the replacement of animal ingredients by materials of human origin. We propose denoting bioprinting strategies devoid of animal components as clean bioprinting.
Optometric practice in Australian Standard Geographical Classification—Remoteness Areas in Australia, 2010

This paper assesses the distribution of the optometric workforce and population per equivalent full-time optometrist (EFTO) across the five Australian Standard Geographical Classification-Remoteness Areas (ASGC-RA) categories in the states and territories of Australia.Data from the database of Optometrists Association Australia on the addresses of primary, secondary and visiting practices and the number of hours worked by optometrists were used to determine the number of EFTOs in each ASGC-RA category in the states and territories. Population to EFTO ratios were calculated for each ASGC-RA by using population data for 2009 and 2010 from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.In the major cities (RA1), the proportion of optometric practitioners was greater than the corresponding proportion of the Australian population. The numbers of optometrists in the inner and outer regional areas (RA2 and RA3, respectively) were calculated as sufficient to provide an initial consultation to the corresponding populations every four to five years, while in the remote and very remote regions (RA4 and RA5, respectively), the numbers of optometrists were calculated as sufficient to provide an initial consultation once every nine or more years.The number of optometrists in practice in Australia is sufficient to meet the needs of the Australian population overall. The issue of the provision of optometric care in remote and very remote regions of Australia is unlikely to be addressed by increasing the number of optometrists as the sparse populations and the large areas over which these populations are spread are unlikely to be able to sustain optometric practices. This means that new service-delivery models could be necessary for the provision of optometric services in these regions.
