Stainless steel is used widespread in various industries, but it has poor wear resistance. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the wear resistance of enhanced surface of 316L stainless steel by applying the combination of surface treatments that consist of shot blasting followed by paste boronizing. Glass beads with diameter 250 microns and the blasting pressure of 6 bar has been used as the shot material in conducting shot blasting process. Paste boronizing process was conducted at temperature 950°C for 8 hours soaking. Data were collected and analyzed which concentrating on the samples’ microstructure, microhardness and wear evaluation. Shot blasting improves the case depth of boride layers formed after performing paste boronizing by boosting the boron diffusion owing to the grain refinement created by shot blasting. The ultimate combination of shot blasting and paste boronizing parameters enhance the case depth of the smooth and compact boride layers with high boron content. The hardness performance increase 624% compared to untreated 316L stainless steel which also highly improve the wear resistance of the material. In this investigation, these dual processes of surface treatment which are shot blasting and paste boronizing can be applied in fabricating the improved 316L stainless steel for industrial usages.

This investigation focuses on the improvement of surface properties of medical grade austenitic stainless steel (AISI 316LVM). The aim is to develop a homogenous supersaturated hard layer of expanded austenite (s-phase) at the surface of AISI 316LVM using low temperature hybrid thermochemical heat treatment process. The s-phase layer produced by this process is able to improve the surface properties of AISI 316LVM, overcoming its drawback of low surface hardness and wear resistance, without impairing the corrosion resistance of the steel. During the heat treatment process, ammonia (NH3) and methane (CH4) gasses were introduced into the furnace with temperatures of 425°C and 475°C, at 6 and 12 hours with gas composition of 75% of NH3, 10% of CH4, and 15% of Nitrogen (N2). Characterization on the microstructure showed the formation of the S-phase layer with variation of thickness according to parameters used. The S-phase formation was confirmed with phase analysis using XRD. Besides, the surface hardness also significantly increased from 210.9 HV to 1170.0 HV. In conclusion, low temperature hybrid heat treatment process is able to produce a homogenous hard s-phase layer.

Published: November 2019

Studies have shown that the angle of fiber orientation significantly affects the mechanical properties of a composite laminate. Due to this, accurate prediction of the laminate response because of the loading effect is crucial. Many investigations on the properties of composite materials have been conducted. However, there is still the lack of study related to Kevlar/Epoxy laminate. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of the angle of fiber orientation to woven and unidirectional (UD) Kevlar/Epoxy laminates under compression state. The study was conducted in two stages comprising of numerical validation and failure analysis. For the failure analysis, a flat plate and flat plate with circular hole under compression were modelled using ANSYS. Two of the most common failure models, Maximum Stress Theory and Tsai-Wu Failure criteria were selected for the failure prediction. The laminates were made of 24 layers woven Kevlar/Epoxy and the stacking sequence was (θ4/04/-θ4)s. The angle of fiber orientations, θ, have been varied from 0° to 90° and failure loads for both flat plate and flat plate with circular hole were determined. The trend of displacement and failure behaviour for both types of plate were compared. The results show that the angle of fiber orientation affects significantly the trend of the displacement and failure curves of UD and woven Kevlar/Epoxy. The curves for UD and woven; flat plate and flat plate with circular hole are different and unique in nature; and thus should be treated individually. These analysis and findings are important in aiding the engineers at designing a stronger woven Kevlar/Epoxy composite laminate. Therefore, it can be concluded that the current study has contributed towards enhancing knowledge about the compressive failure behaviour of unidirectional and woven Kevlar/Epoxy composite laminates.

Bio-ethanol, a type of biofuel, is known as renewable energy source as it is derived from biomass as its raw material. Biomass can be found in abundance and sustainable i.e. sources are available continuously, unlike the currently used conventional fossil fuels where these sources are limited and depleting. In this study, biomass from fruit waste, banana peels, were utilized to produce bio-ethanol via hydrolysis and fermentation process. Banana peels, a lignocellulosic biomass, possesses compositions which favour these processes, where the banana peels are rich in cellulose content and low in lignin content. Mechanical pre-treatment of the banana peels was conducted to further ease the hydrolysis process by reducing the particle size of the biomass. Hydrolysis was carried out for 24 hours at 50ºC at different pH using sulfuric acid H2SO4 acid and sodium hydroxide NaOH as the base, to study the effect of pH on the hydrolysis process and hence the final bio-ethanol production, in terms of concentration. Fermentation of the hydrolysis products were carried out using glucose-yeast broth for 4 days at temperature of 35ºC. Water content in the bio-ethanol product from fermentation process was separated using rotary evaporator, prior to ethanol analysis using Gas Chromatography (GC-MS). Concentration of ethanol was found to be the highest at acidic pH conditions; pH 4 to 6. Lowest ethanol concentration was recorded at higher pH values, indicating alkaline conditions do not favour the hydrolysis process.

In the present study, palm oil has been tested to study its capability as a lubricant to replace commercial mineral oil. To enrich the performance, nanoparticles additives were added. Previous studies proved that by adding the small size of additives into lubricating oil can lessen the friction and improve anti-wear properties. In this research, the size of the nanoparticle used was below 20nm. Four ball tester following ASTM D4072-94 was conducted to determine the optimum concentration of palm oil bio-lubricant with Nano-clay additive ranged from 0.02% to 0.08%wt. The results discovered that 0.04wt% of Nano-clay additive added into palm oil was the optimum concentration of the lubricant with the coefficient of friction 0.081, which recorded 16% reduction as compared to mineral oil (20W-40) – the reference lubricant. It also shows good anti-wear ability which the wear scar diameter was improved by 32%. The oil was then tested in journal bearing to characterize the hydrodynamic lubrication properties. The properties that have been observed were the coefficient of friction, pressure profile and temperature profile. The results showed that modified palm oil with Nano-clay provided better performance with low coefficient of friction (reduced more than 50% as compared to mineral oil) and also temperature profile (reduced up to 20% compared to mineral oil). As for the pressure profile, even slightly higher pressure recorded for palm oil due to lower viscosity, yet the pressure was improved with the presence of Nano-clay additive. In overall, it had been proven that palm oil with Nano-clay additive shows massive potential as an alternative lubricant to the same range with the current industrial mineral oil.

In this study, the researcher review on the modified TiO2 preparation via wet impregnation method for dye removal application. The bare TiO2 and Ag-TiO2 that have been synthesized undergo characterizations using XRD, FESEM-EDX and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The XRD pattern showed that the synthesized TiO2 was of pure anatase phase. The crystal structure of anatase TiO2 was not disturbed upon doping with Ag. FESEM images revealed that the TiO2 constitutes of various sizes of spherical and square-like shapes. EDX mapping illustrates that dopant metals are dispersed in a uniformed manner onto the TiO2 support and appeared as metal oxide. The bare TiO2 that has been modified acts as a photocatalyst to remove MO through the batch method. The effects of initial dye concentrations (5-25 ppm), pH solutions (2–9), catalyst loadings (0.5–4) g/L,) and light sources (visible, solar, UV) were analyzed. It was discovered that photocatalytic experiment performed using Ag-TiO2 has greater efficiency of MO removal that ranges from 32% to 100% in contrast to bare TiO2 with MO removal of 12%-67% for comparable dosages of photocatalyst at initial MO concentration of 5 ppm in both alkaline and acidic conditions under UV irradiation. It was postulated that Ag-TiO2 photocatalyst is the better candidate for effective dye removal.

Plastic waste has become a sensitive issue in the world since this material needs a longer time to degrade. This material will take a month to a thousand years to decompose. Thus, would contribute to the environment pollution, which will affect human health and aquatic life. This research study focused on the biodegradation process of micro-plastic (PE, PP, PET and PS) in the batch culture system using a colony of bacteria obtained from leachate in Ayer Hitam Landfill, Puchong. After the batch experiment of micro-plastic degradation, percentage removal of ammonia-nitrogen, chemical structure and percentage weight loss were examined and evaluated. Succeeding through the incubation of micro-plastic in batch culture for fourteen (14) days period, biodegradation was verified by the estimation of the dry weight loss. From the result obtained, dry weight loss of polyethylene (PE) is the highest (3.46%) in 14 days and polyethylene (PE) shows the greater removal of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) (44.17%). Besides that, polystyrene (PS) micro-plastic showed a significant change in chemical structural which was obtained by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Here, the new absorption peak C=O (aldehydes) was present in PS micro-plastic. Furthermore, PS micro-plastic has a high percentage mass loss in the second stage of thermal degradation by Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis. It can be concluded that incubation time is needed to optimize the micro-plastic in the biodegradation process.

Queuing hypothesis is a quantitative method which comprises in building scientific models of different sorts of lining frameworks. Occupied time of the framework is broke down and mean holding up time in the stationary system processed. At long last, some numerical outcomes are introduced to demonstrate the impact of model parameters on the framework execution measures. The traveling server, nonetheless, comes back to landing which is used to offer at a low rate whereas the other server is occupied. At whatever point the framework ends up and the subsequent server leaves for a working excursion while the principal server stays inert in the framework. These models can be utilized for making expectations about how the framework can change with requests. The framework is examined in the enduring state utilizing lattice geometric strategy. The clients enter the line in the Poisson manner and the time of each bunch size is dared to be circulated exponentially as for mean ward clump size and clients may balk away or renege when the holding up the line of the clients, in general, be exceptionally enormous.

2D IPO's for Constant Speed Lines, Curves, NURBS
Authors: Huypens Valere
Published: November 2019

Current constant speed IPO's, usually, use Sampled-data IPO's and constant speed lines use the

wrong initialized software DDA-ipo's, which make these IPO's unusable. The Bresenham- and

midpoint IPO's are non-constant speed reference pulse IPO's with bounded inaccuracy.

By adding an ultra-fast 3-lines algorithm "PRM-cs" to the actual midpoint or Bresenham algorithms,

we convert these midpoint-ipo's to very fast, constant speed, reference pulse IPO's.

This applies to 2D-lines, 3D-lines, 2D-curves and 2D-NURBS.

The PRM-cs measures, in real-time, the length of the discrete curve and the PRM-cs is completely new.

We define the best IPO, the major axis principle and the LSD-priority.

The major axis principle holds for the actual 3D-line IPO's. These IPO's are, generally, inaccurate,

but they can be updated to constant speed 3D-line IPO's, when the production manager agrees.

The Digital Geometric Geometry (DAG) defines the discrete lines globally, but this global

definition of a discrete 3D-line, gives discrete 3D-lines whose accuracy is much less than the

accuracy of the best discrete 3D-lines (e.g. 37% worse).

We describe the three causes of the inaccurate (imperfect) discrete 3D-lines.

All existing pulse-rate or PRM-ipo's use a wrong initialization, which deteriorates the accuracy.

We determine the right initialization for the new PRM-cs and the updated PRM-ipo.

We propose the benchmark-ipo "listSIM-ipo". This constant speed IPO can, also, be used in real-

time for every 2D- and 3D-curve.

The 3rd-degree Trident NURB shows that the constant speed reference pulse method is much

better than the existing sampled-data methods.

Study On Optimum Age For Reaching The Peak Sport Form For High Performance Sports
Authors: Vicol Sebastian , Trofin Florin , Honceriu Cezar
Published: November 2019

The improvement of performance capacity represents the objective to be achieved within sport training, as it is materialised
by obtaining valuable results. The sport condition represents the essence of performance capacity. This is the reason why I have
decided to study thoroughly the notions related to „sport condition”, but mainly because I wanted to reach an agreement with respect
to the age when performance athletes and swimmers achieve the peak sport condition during their career, obtaining the most
important victories or results in important competitions. By analysing the specialised literature, based on both the observation, and
statistical-mathematical method, I have taken over and calculated the average ages both for women and for men using nine studies
of sport specialists. Splitting both the athletic and swim trials in two categories, namely: speed/explosion trials and endurance trial,
I have reached the conclusion that the average age when men achieve the peak sport condition is 26 years and of women 25.3 years.
Also, each trial has its characteristics, therefore, the average ages of reaching the peak sport condition are different.

The research was devoted to theoretical training on the stage of previous basic development in fencing. Analysis of the literature enabled to reveal that one of the ways of improvement of the quality of young fencers training process is the substantiation of structure and content of theoretical training and significance of its components on the stage of previous basic development in fencing. Problem and aim. The issue of theoretical training of athletes in fencing is mentioned fragmentally, which points at absence of one approach in its realization at different stages of long-term development. There is the need for quantitative and qualitative increase in information transfer and quality acquirement of specific theoretical knowledge, particularly using different methods and means of theoretical training. Methods. theoretical analysis and synthesis, analysis of documentary material, comparison, abstraction, methods of induction and deduction, expert assessment, pedagogical experiment. Results and Conclusions. For the solvation of the set tasks there was established and implemented author program of theoretical training on Olympic values and theory of sport in fencing with using algorithmic educational and entertaining means. Pedagogical experiment, which consisted of two periods both for four months, enable to determine the efficiency of author program of theoretical training in comparison with generally accepted one. There was verified efficiency of algorithmic educational game means of theoretical training on stage of previous basic development during training period. The most universal algorithmic game means of theoretical training are «Associations», Simulator «TTT» and «Puzzle», which confirmed positive changes in theoretical preparedness within the various information blocks of 7.4–55.6 % of athletes. There was determined that universal algorithmic educational and entertaining means n Olympic values and theory of sport in fencing are: simulator "TTT", "Associations", "Puzzles".

Authors: Nica Irene-Teodora
Published: November 2019

The present study aims to emphasize the role of pilates method in the improvement of the mobility of the spine in the
anterior plane and the elasticity of the posterior muscles of the thigh. In this purpose, we have developed a set of appropriate
exercises destined to obtain improved results of the spine mobility and muscle elasticity. Subsequent, we applied the exercises to a
target group of woman and presented the comparation between the initial and final results. The interpretation of the mobility and
elasticity test results are reported in the conclusions of the present study.
Nützliche Illusionen
Authors: Bürkle Stefanie
Published: November 2019

In der Zweckarchitektur der Wasserversuchsanstalt in Berlin werden Schiffsmodelle auf ihre Seetauglichkeit hin überprüft; der stadtverwöhnte Parisien erlernte in der Badeanstalt Piscine Pontoise das Schwimmen in einer Passage. Beide Motive der Arbeit „Minimeere“ zeigen einen Mikrokosmos, der erschaffen worden ist, um natürliche Bedingungen zu simulieren, für wissenschaftliche Zwecke und das zweckfreie Amüsement. Stefanie Bürkles Fotoarbeiten aus der Serie Nützliche Illusionen sind Stereosichten auf eine Welt der Stadt- und Raumstrukturen, in denen links und rechts unterschiedliche Motive aufeinandertreffen. Links täuschen uns bei der Arbeit „Dimensionen“ die Nutzbauten am Pariser Flughafen mit den Proportionen der europäischen Stadt Leben vor, rechts sehen wir zwar den Markusplatz, doch nicht den in Venedig, sondern maßstabsgetreu errichtet in einem Themenpark in Shenzhen. Über die Bildmitte hinweg setzen sich Perspektivlinien auf der jeweils anderen Bildhälfte fort. So baut der oszillierende Blick, der zwischen den Motiven springt und Strukturen abzugleichen sucht, um sie zur Kongruenz zu bringen, ein neues Gefüge, in dem Gegenstands- und Bildstruktur sich treffen und verdichten. Nach Kürzung aller augenscheinlichen Gemeinsamkeiten liegt die eigentliche Essenz der Fotografien bloß. Eine auf das Wesentliche reduzierte Gleichung betrachten Mathematiker als schön. Die Schönheit der Gleichungen bei den Nützlichen Illusionen erscheint essentiell in ihren Widersprüchen. Sie bilden einen neuen, assoziativen Raum jenseits der Abbildungen – einen Raum der Illusionen.
Alte Thesen neu gelesen: Perspektiven kritischer Stadtforschung. Kommentar zu Hartmut Häußermann & Walter Siebels „Thesen zur Soziologie der Stadt“
Authors: Keller Carsten
Published: November 2019

[Dieser Artikel ist Teil einer Debatte] Der Text „Thesen zur Soziologie der Stadt“ scheint mir besonders in den abschließend formulierten Perspektiven, die Hartmut Häußermann und Walter Siebel unter der Überschrift „Aufgaben einer kritischen Soziologie der Stadt“ formulieren, nach wie vor lesenswert und aktuell zu sein. Drei Perspektiven werden hier aufgezeigt: erstens eine Wissenschafts- und Ideologiekritik, zweitens eine empirisch orientierte Zustandsbeschreibung städtischer Strukturen und von Stadtentwicklung sowie drittens eine Analyse der staatlichen Stadtpolitik. Diese drei abschließenden Perspektiven möchte ich im Folgenden kommentieren. Es wird mithin keine immanente Auseinandersetzung mit dem gesamten Text und weiteren Arbeiten der beiden Autoren angestrebt. Es hätte mich zwar durchaus gereizt, die Entwicklung der Arbeiten von Häußermann und Siebel vor dem Hintergrund dieses frühen, emphatisch formulierten Textes zu reflektieren. Vielleicht auch wegen der persönlichen Bekanntschaft mit Häußermann, den ich als Projekt- und Dissertationsbetreuer an der Humboldt-Universität kennenlernte, erschien mir eine solche Zugangsweise zu den „Thesen“ durchaus naheliegend.

Konjunkturen gesellschaftstheoretischer Perspektiven auf große Städte: Zur Aktualität der „Thesen zur Soziologie der Stadt“ von Häußermann und Siebel (1978)
Authors: Wehrheim Jan
Published: November 2019

Wissenschaftliche Publikationen nach vielen Jahren neu oder erstmals zu lesen, lohnt sich in zweierlei Hinsicht: wegen ihres möglichen grundlegenden Gehalts und weil sie historische Dokumente sind, die im Vergleich interessieren. Die verwendete Sprache ist dabei auch ein Indikator für Konjunkturen der Akzeptanz wissenschaftlicher Erklärungsmodelle. Der von Häußermann/Siebel 1978 formulierte Vorwurf an Teile der (damaligen) Stadtsoziologie, sie sei theorielos und entpolitisiert erweist sich aus heutiger Perspektive als zeitlos und er macht auch die Qualität des Aufsatzes aus. Um diesen Vorwurf heute einzuordnen und um Veränderungen und Kontinuitäten der Stadtsoziologie in den Blick zu nehmen, erscheinen mindestens sechs Aspekte bedenkenswert: zunächst ganz basal Veränderungen und Kontinuitäten im Untersuchungsgegenstand Stadt und Gesellschaft. Hinzu kommen Veränderungen und Kontinuitäten bei den Modi der Steuerung gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen, bei den Bedingungen institutionalisierter Forschung und Lehre, in der personellen Zusammensetzung der Protagonist_innen der Stadtsoziologie und schließlich Veränderungen und Kontinuitäten in Bezug auf soziale Bewegungen.

Jan Wehrheim (2013) nennt zwei gegensätzliche Gründe, aus denen alte Artikel von Interesse sein könnten: weil sie heute noch gültige Aussagen enthalten, oder weil ihre Problemdefinitionen und Kategorien, gerade weil sie überholt sind, dazu dienen können, neue Zugänge zum Gegenstand der Forschung zu präzisieren [...]
Androzentrische Leerstellen der Stadtforschung. Geschlechtliche Arbeitsteilung, heteronormative Geschlechterkonstruktion und deren sozialräumliche Organisation. Kommentar zu Hartmut Häußermann & Walter Siebels „Thesen zur Soziologie der Stadt“
Authors: Bauriedl Sybille
Published: November 2019

Der Beitrag kommentiert den Artikel von Häußermann und Siebel „Thesen der Soziologie der Stadt“ von 1978 aus feministisch geographischer Perspektive. Die Autoren fordern, die Zusammenhänge zwischen politischen, ökonomischen, sozialen und räumlichen Entwicklungen auf gesamtgesellschaftlicher Ebene zu betrachtet. Dabei fokussieren sie auf Klassenverhältnisse, nehmen aber relevante Geschlechterverhältnisse nicht in den Blick. Stadtentwicklungsprozesse industriell-kapitalistisch strukturierter Gesellschaften basieren jedoch grundlegend auf den Praktiken und Materialisierungen geschlechtlicher Arbeitsteilung. Die Thesen von 1978 werden mit Blick auf ihre Bezüge und Blindstellen auf Geschlechterverhältnisse überprüft und auf zeitgenössische sowie aktuelle feministische Beiträge der Soziologie und Geographie verwiesen.
Kritisiert die Kritiker_innen! Kommentar zu Margit Mayers „Urbane soziale Bewegungen in der neoliberalisierenden Stadt“
Authors: Bertram Grischa
Published: November 2019

Über vierzig Jahre nach Castells wissen wir im Detail noch immer viel zu wenig über die verschiedenen städtischen sozialen Bewegungen und die ebenso heterogene Zusammensetzung der Initiativen und Netzwerke innerhalb dieser Bewegungen. Für weite Teile der Stadtforschung wäre ein Verständnis von städtischen sozialen Bewegungen, das diese als auf lokale Anlässe und Konflikte sowie lokale Institutionen und Stadtgesellschaft bezogen begreift sinnvoll, auch wenn dies zu einer Marginalisierung auf überlokaler Ebene führt.´Die Untersuchung dieser Bewegungen sollte nicht halt machen vor der kritischen Untersuchung der Bewegungen selbst. Warum sollten nur Kapitalismus und Neoliberalisierung in der Lage sein, sich beständig neu zu erfinden und Kritik zu inkorporieren? Und warum sollte sich umgekehrte kritische Forschung in ihrer wesentlichen Fähigkeit – der Kritik – beschränken?
Urbane Neoliberalisierung – ein Plädoyer für etwas mehr Differenz. Kommentar zu Margit Mayers „Urbane soziale Bewegungen in der neoliberalisierenden Stadt“
Authors: Eick Volker
Published: November 2019

[Dieser Artikel ist Teil einer Debatte] In ihrem Beitrag nimmt Margit Mayer die neoliberale Stadt und urbane soziale Bewegungen in globaler Perspektive in den Blick. Die auch von Margit Mayer maßgeblich vorangetriebene Diskussion, die sich in der letzten Dekade zwischen Urban Studies, lokaler Politik- und Bewegungsforschung durchaus konstruktiv am „actually existing neoliberalism“ (Brenner/Theodore 2002) abgearbeitet hat, wird mit Blick auf die dieser Diskussion ursprünglich inneliegenden regulationstheoretischen Herausforderungen kritisch gegengelesen. Der Kommentar verweist zudem auf einige theoretische Leerstellen, die in der Folge zu empirischen Ungenauigkeiten führen.
