Friction-Assisted Additive Manufacturing (FAAM) for Multistack Aluminum AA6061-T6/ AA7075-T6 Armor Plates: Numerical Investigation, Fabrication, and Characterization
Authors: Chand Kundurti Sai , Sharma Ambuj
Published: September 2024

Composite armoring materials are generally fabricated using multiple layers of metallic and non-metallic materials such as titanium, steel, aluminum, ceramics, epoxy, resins, etc. Building these armor materials in the first place aims to withstand high-velocity bullets. Aluminum alloys are the best choice to offer increased mobility and excellent properties like a high strength-to-weight ratio, fracture toughness, and corrosion resistance. In this research, Forrestal and Warren scaling law techniques were employed to determine the optimal aluminum armor plate thickness to withstand 500 m/s velocity 7.62 mm projectile releasing from the pistol . FEA package Ansys was utilized for numerical simulations of bullet penetration, validating the results obtained from the scaling laws. After that, friction-assisted additive manufacturing (FAAM) was explored to build an AA6061/AA7075 laminated aluminum metal matrix composite (AMMC) for armor. Considering the plate thickness, the FAAM tool was designed with an optimum shoulder length, shoulder diameter, pin length, and pin diameter. Then the optimized process parameters were utilized to build the multi-stack armor plate using dissimilar aluminum alloys. Microstructural, and mechanical characterizations were conducted to assess the feasibility of the FAAM-built multi-stack armor plate. The findings of the work revealed better-refined grain’s microstructural profile in comparison with base materials and resulted in higher tensile and micro-hardness results. FAAM build improved the mechanical strength and yield strength of the base alloy AA6061 by roughly 25% and 31%, respectively.

Authors: Vaško A. , Zatkalíková V. , Uhríčik M. , Kaňa V.
Published: September 2024

Austenitic nodular cast iron is a versatile material that offers a unique combination of properties, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications where high strength, ductility, toughness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance are required. This material is commonly used in a variety of applications in the chemical and petrochemical industries, in the automotive and aerospace industries, as well as in marine and offshore applications. For the experiments, one of the most common austenitic nodular cast irons (alloyed with nickel and manganese) was chosen. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the corrosion resistance of this austenitic nodular cast iron and compare it with other (non-austenitic) types of nodular cast iron (SiMo- and SiCu-type). Corrosion resistance was determined by an exposure immersion test and an electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization test. Both tests were performed in a 3.5% NaCl solution (to simulate seawater) at ambient temperature. Experimental results prove that austenitic NiMn-nodular cast iron has a higher corrosion resistance than SiMo- and SiCu-nodular cast iron. Moreover, austenitic nodular cast iron has better plastic properties (higher elongation and absorbed energy) but worse strength and fatigue properties (lower tensile strength, hardness and fatigue limit) than the other types of nodular cast iron.

Published: September 2024

The consumption of foamed concrete (FC) in conjunction with the incorporation of natural fibre is recognized as an outstanding effort in promoting sustainable practices. This effort is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the impact it leaves behind on the environment. The goal of this experiment is to discover the viability of incorporating raw bamboo fibre (BF) into the fabrication of 1000 kg/m3density FC. The shrinkage, flexural, compressive, and tensile strengths of the material were the four characteristics that were considered throughout the analysis. The weight fractions of BF that were utilized were 0.0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.4% respectively. According to the results, the FC-BF composites’ drying shrinkage, compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths were best achieved when 0.3% BF was present. This was caused by the BF’s adhesion to the cementitious matrix of the FC. Additionally, BF functioned as an anti-micro crack that prevented FC from developing internally induced microcracks and cracks.
The Microstructural Evolution of the Welded Joint of Super 304H Stainless Steel after 1000 Hours of Ageing at 700 and 750°C
Authors: Puszczało T. , Purzyńska H. , Sroka M. , Sówka K. , Zieliński A.
Published: September 2024

This study presents the results of microstructure and hardness tests of a homogenous welded joint made of Super 304H stainless steel after 1000 h of ageing at the temperature of 700 and 750°C. Super 304H steel is commonly used for high-pressure elements of modern power units for supercritical steam parameters. The article compares hardness with the microstructure images in the initial state and after ageing. The microstructure tests were carried out based on scanning microscopy, while the hardness tests were carried out on a stationary hardness tester in the HV10 scale. An increase in hardness after ageing was observed, which is directly related to the initiated precipitation process, both in the weld and base materials.
Suspended Mining Monorail Composite-Steel Rail Resistance to Static and Fatigue Loads
Authors: Pytlik Andrzej , Hildebrandt Robert , Stankiewicz Krzysztof , Skóra Marcin
Published: September 2024

The development of monorail transport systems began relatively recently, though their history dates back to the early 19th century. In modern hard coal mining, a suspended monorail is a basic means of auxiliary personnel and material transportation. A project with the acronym HEET II is currently being carried out as part of the European Union’s Research Fund for Coal and Steel. One of the elements of the transport system developed as part of the project is the composite steel rail that constitutes the subject of this publication. The innovative rail design serves as the runway for the suspended monorail and an element of its power supply system. This paper supplements a certain research gap or rather undertakes the first attempt at testing a railway track formed from composite-steel rails consisting of a composite section in the middle, similar in shape to an I-beam, as well as two steel joints constituting the ends for mounting further rails and for coupling with the hoists. It presents the methodology and results of composite-steel rail testing under static and cyclic fatigue loading and prolonged bending loading applied to the rail during a creep test. It also presents the results of comparative tests for the composite steel rail and a conventional steel rail during overloading and break tests under bending loading. The composite-steel rail test methodology was significantly expanded relative to the conventional steel rail methodology, given that the composite materials and resins are strongly susceptible to creeping, and their operation under cyclic loads exhibits a greater risk of failure compared to steel rails. The composite-steel rail test results presented in this article make it possible to conclude that despite its existing design flaws, applying this type of rail design in underground suspended monorail transportation cannot be excluded.

Scientific Metaphor and its Noetic Ambivalence
Authors: Bohunická Alena , Orgoňová Oľga
Published: September 2024

In this paper we revisit the inspiration of J. Kořenský’s work on the problem of metaphor in scientific reflection on language. For us, the notion of noetic instrumentalisation of metaphor is the main concept by which the author captures that metaphor is an essential tool for interpreting, representing and modelling the processes of linguistic activity. We find Kořenský’s analysis of the noetic instrumentalisation of game inspiring, pointing out that the same metaphorical concept allows, on the one hand, for unifying interpretations of language, but also for interpretations that are in an ambivalent or even polemical relationship. In our study, we analyse the noetic ambivalence of the metaphor of fabric, which functions as a means of interpreting language/speech in two conflicting methodological lines: on the one hand, in a structural linguistic methodological framework, where it harmonises with the instrumentalist approach to language; on the other hand, in a social interactionist framework, where the conceptualisation of speech activity as fabric is used to explain the socially practical linguistic reality of language. The aim of the analysis is to answer the question of what lies behind the noetic ambivalence of this metaphor. To explain this, we draw on J. Dolník’s (2014) reflections on the role of autonomisation in interpreting, and distinguish between the resultative and emergent nature of the metaphorical base in scientific interpretation using metaphor.

Published: September 2024

The process of wind energy development in Latvia, from conception to realization and operation, has been studied. It was concluded that in Latvia, both on the offshore and onshore, there is a great potential for wind energy due to favourable climatic conditions. During the research, the main obstacles, and risks for the development of wind energy were identified. Furthermore, the expected benefits for the Latvian economy were evaluated through a systematic analysis conducted. By performing modelling in the Energy Pro program, the amount of real electricity production of a wind power plant (WPP) in the Ventspils region was assessed. This evaluation considered not only the potential electricity generation based on climatic conditions, such as wind speed and direction, but also the anticipated operational limitations identified during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process (impact on local wildlife and habitats). The amount of capital investment and operating costs required for the WPP, as well as the payback time, considering the price of electricity, have also been calculated. Based on the analysis of the Latvian wind energy industry and the WPP projects, proposals have been made for organizing the development of the wind energy industry in the territory of Latvia.

Authors: Dolge Kristiana , Vicmane Laura Kristiana , Bohvalovs Girts , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: September 2024

In order to meet regional and national climate neutrality goals, decentralisation has placed the energy sector under local government governance, pushing municipalities to take a more active role in energy planning and sector decarbonisation. This study attempted to assess the extent to which municipal efforts have been successful in the adaptation of low-carbon energy systems, and what is the current state of municipal initiatives concerning regional energy transitions. A composite index was constructed, incorporating nine indicators grouped into three main dimensions of sustainable municipal energy transition: energy efficiency, energy decarbonization, and smart energy system deployment. Five municipalities of the Baltic Sea Region were analyzed, and their energy transitions were assessed: the Gulbene municipality (Latvia), Tukums municipality (Latvia), Taurage municipality (Lithuania), Tomelilla municipality (Sweden), and Wejherowo municipality (Poland). Using a benchmarking approach, the main challenges and opportunities of energy transition in the selected municipalities were identified, which could be used as signals in developing concrete municipal sustainability action plans.
Impact of emotional intelligence on academic performance
Authors: Radu Beatrice Mihaela , Timplarescu Tudor , Coporan Alexandra Maria
Published: September 2024

Emotional intelligence (EI) is an important skill in management and leadership, that defines the ability of one person to manage his own emotions and to understanding/empathies with the emotional states of other persons. There are five characteristics of EI: self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. The goal of our study is to analyze the impact of EI on the academic performance (AP). To achieve this purpose, we used an online questionnaire mainly distributed in 3 universities (The Bucharest University of Economic Studies, University of Bucharest and Politehnica University of Bucharest) and 300 students responded in March 2024. Using JASP software, we determined correlation coefficients between EI, self-assessed AP, and demographic/academic variables. Students with higher social skills have a better contextual performance, and those motivated have a better task performance. PhD students have a better self-awareness than undergraduates and graduates and higher motivation than undergraduates. Male students manage better their emotions than female students. No statistically significant changes of EI components were determined for "fellowship", "success in exams" or "field of study". In conclusion, EI is a relevant impact on AP, but the standard view of performance should be reconsidered.
Analiza comportamentului în utilizarea mijloacelor de transport
Authors: Baciu Silviu-Gabriel , Zamfir Denisa
Published: September 2024

Cu numeroase opțiuni de deplasare pentru activitățile zilnice, de la transportul în comun și mașina personală, până la bicicletă și ridesharing, alegerile pe care le facem sunt direct influențate de accentul pe care îl punem pe anumite criterii și limitele pe care le suportăm în absența lor. Dacă transportul alternativ, cum ar fi bicicleta, trotineta și mersul pe jos, devine o variantă ineficientă pentru deplasările pe o distanță mare, transportul cu mașina personală ridică problema impactului asupra mediului, al sănătății și al calității vieții în general. Partea practică a lucrării a urmărit identificarea comportamentului utilizatorilor pe parcursul deplasării și motivul pentru care ei le aleg, analizând principalii factori decizionali: nevoia, accesibilitatea, comoditatea și costurile. Pentru a atinge obiectivul lucrării, au fost stabilite ipotezele cercetării, a fost distribuit chestionarul și au fost colectate și analizate răspunsurile, iar în final s-a utilizat regresia multiplă pentru testarea ipotezelor.
Indexing or Insinuation: Ranking States as a Manipulation Tool for Political and (Post)Сultural Influence
Authors: Agrba L. A.
Published: September 2024

The article critically examines the criteria, norms and procedures of indexing that have become popular in recent years and are being increasingly implemented in all spheres of life. The research focuses on the assessment of criteria for determining the capacity of states based on quantitative data processing. It is argued that indexing often implies tools for influence which lead to deepening inequality, unhealthy competition and disagreements between countries. According to the author's hypothesis, the hidden purpose of such classifications is stigmatization and favoritism, the desire to exert political influence, deliberately underestimating the status of some states and elevating others. On the one hand ranking is used to emphasize the inequality of countries, to define friends and foes, or inner and outer circles, and on the other hand — to reduce everything to the same criteria, standards, without proper analysis and understanding of the context, historical background, national, cultural, religious characteristics. The materials for the study were documents submitted by various organizations, including non-governmental organizations, as well as analytical and research works devoted to the analysis of the ranking phenomenon. The purpose of the study is to analyze the tools for manipulation carried out through the assessment of the capacity of states. The research tasks include: critical understanding of ranking mechanisms, disclosure of the manipulative potential of game strategies with indexing, as well as the analysis of individual cases indicating the dubiousness of the procedure for evaluating the capacity of states based on the analysis of statistical data, without taking into account the entire complex of components that determine state effectiveness. The study shows that under the guise of indexing, manipulative practices and soft influence on the states political regimes are used, thus entire regions become the object of evaluative and subjective judgments of the so-called experts.

Published: September 2024

The author must have a certain intention when displaying a character in his work. In the short story book Sesat Pikir Para Binatang (SPPB), the author, Triyanto Triwikromo, displays the character of an animal, namely obedient. There are 6 out of 14 short stories in the SPPB kumcer book that feature submissive animal instincts. Therefore, a research was conducted on the 6 short stories with the aim of analyzing loyalty, hatred, and arbitrariness as a form of representation of submissive animal characters by focusing on the actions of human-like animal characters and animal-like human characters. Descriptive qualitative method was used as the research method. The result of this research is the discovery of submissive animal instincts that represent loyalty, viciousness, and arbitrariness of animal characters that are similar and opposite to human instincts. In addition, the plot patterns in the data sources are similar in that the submissive characters do not feel happiness, but experience sad and tragic things, namely abandonment, betrayal, and harm and even murder. Triyanto as the author presents the loyalty, hatred, and arbitrariness of the submissive animal characters in the SPPB kumcer as if he wants to criticize the bad behavior of humans and wants to convey the message that do not be excessively loyal, submissive, and obedient to others because humans will still disappoint. Thus, the representations of loyalty, hatred, and arbitrariness of the submissive animal characters are used by Triyanto to criticize the bad behavior of humans.

Authors: Dasari Papa , Singh Dipali
Published: September 2024

Any gender with a single gonad can suffer from infertility due to various reasons. A married couple with single gonads: a 34-year-old male with single testis following orchidectomy and a 31-year-old female with single ovary following unilateral ovariotomy presented for infertility management. The female partner had a low ovarian reserve, and the male partner’s semen analysis was low rapidly progressive motility. They could not achieve pregnancy naturally for two years. The female partner was treated with tablet Dehydro-Epiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEA), with three cycles of ovulation induction and timed intercourse and later three cycles of intrauterine insemination (IUI). The first cycle of IUI resulted in a biochemical pregnancy. She had spontaneous conception during the cycle of downregulation for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with an injection of leuprolide on day 21. She delivered a live child of 2.7 kg without any anomalies, and the milestones were normal.
A self-established method for the quantitative determination of plasma free hemoglobin utilizing the hemolysis index of Siemens ADVIA 2400 chemistry system
Authors: Xie Haifeng , Wei Jinlong , Luo Xianzhong
Published: September 2024

Objectives:

The significance of the quantitative hemolysis index (HI) obtained from the Siemens ADVIA 2400 Chemistry System remains undisclosed. This study aims to establish a method utilizing HI of Siemens ADVIA 2400 Chemistry System for the quantitative determination of plasma free hemoglobin (fHb).

Materials and Methods:

The performance of the self-established method was assessed following Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute protocols, which included detection capability, linearity, imprecision, and trueness, using materials derived from residual whole blood samples.

Statistical Analysis:

The analysis of variance was performed using Microsoft Excel, and least-squares linear regression analysis was conducted using MedCalc (Version 20.216). A significance level of P < 0.05 was considered.

Results:

The repeatability and within-laboratory precision both exhibited a coefficient of variation below 1%. The limit of blank was determined to be 0.005 g/L, while the lower limit of detection and lower limit of quantification were found to be 0.050 g/L and 0.085 g/L, respectively. Our self-established method for determining plasma fHb demonstrated linearity across the entire assay range of 0.085~25.2 g/L with an excellent correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9998). In the method comparison study between Siemens ADVIA 2400 and Sysmex XN-1000, our results indicated a slight bias, with only 5% (2/40) of the plots falling outside the 95% confidence interval. This suggests a high level of agreement observed between these two devices.

Conclusions:

The self-established method was evaluated as a reliable assay with robust performance for quantifying minute quantities of plasma fHb in the ADVIA 2400 chemistry system. Calibration for the HI was deemed necessary when determining plasma fHb.

Catalytic conversion of atmosphere dinitrogen into ammonia by nitrogenase is one of the most important chemical processes in nature. FeMo-cofactor (FeMoco), the key active site of this conversion in the Mo-based nitrogenase, is one of the most complicated metalloenzyme molecules. The synthesis of FeMoco cluster holds the key to elucidating the mechanism of nitrogen fixation, but the complex framework with a unique sextuply-bridged carbide in FeMoco cluster dictates its synthesis to be an extreme challenge that remains unsolved for several decades. In this work, two cluster models have been synthesized as the first highly analogous mimics of FeMoco using a precisely-designed cluster-coupling strategy. A carbide ligand has been introduced into M-Fe-S (M = Mo or W) clusters and the characteristic triangular prismatic [Fe6(µ6-C)] moiety of FeMoco has been synthesized for the first time. The structural parameters of the two mimics match well with those of FeMoco identified in natural nitrogenase. Quantum chemical studies reveal that the electronic ground states of the mimics resemble those observed for FeMoco, with maximized antiferromagnetic coupling among the iron centers. The clusters synthesized in this work represent the only highly analogous synthetic mimics of FeMoco. The cluster-coupling reaction is a versatile strategy that allows the synthesis of more analogous mimics of FeMoco. These mimics and the cluster-coupling strategy provide an excellent platform for studying the function and behavior of FeMoco, and also pave the way for elucidating the mechanism of nitrogen fixation by nitrogenase.
Barriers and facilitators to women's access to antenatal care in Savai’i.
Authors:   , Lualua Logomai
Published: September 2024

Antenatal care (ANC) attendance appears to be a major problem in Savai’i, the biggest island of Samoa. An overall goal would be to increase the rate of early booking to ANC in Savai’i because the current rate, which is less than 30%, is too low. The Samoan protocol and guidelines for standard management in pregnancy and childbirth recommend that booking for ANC should ideally occur prior to 20 weeks’ gestation. The World Health Organisation recommends booking for ANC by 12 weeks' gestation. This research explored women’s experiences and views regarding antenatal care in Savai’i. In particular, the aims were as follows: 1. To explore the barriers and facilitators contributing to early and continued engagement with antenatal care in Savai’i and 2. To use this information to inform appropriate service development around antenatal care for women in Savai’i.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 women in Savai’i who self-identified as either booking for antenatal care before 20 weeks gestation as recommended by WHO, after 20 weeks gestation, or not at all (unbooked). The women were asked to share their stories related to pregnancy and antenatal care. Questions were structured around knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours with a focus on barriers and facilitators.

Four main themes emerged from the analysis. Theme One is ‘Discovery of Pregnancy’, with the sub-themes Knowing – Self, Knowing – Others, Positive Feelings (Happy, Excited), Negative Feelings (Fearful), Conflicting Feelings (Happy but shocked, Happy but Stressed, Uncertain. Theme Two is ‘Knowledge of Booking’, with sub-themes Previous Knowledge, Awareness of Costs of Service, Health Education and Health Promotion. The third theme is ‘Barriers to early booking for Antenatal Care and the final main theme is ‘Facilitators for early booking for Antenatal Care’.

The significance of this research was to determine the facilitators and barriers to early initiation of antenatal care in Samoa. This will provide insights into how early booking can be promoted and would help guide effective interventions, mitigate barriers related to the provision of health care services, and contribute to meaningful policies and procedures. This study can be utilised in other countries where Samoan people are residing.

Franz Josef/Waiau is a remote tourist town in Aotearoa New Zealand, exposed to earthquakes, landslides, floods, and storms. Carved out by an aggressively shifting landscape, the region’s dramatic beauty has been formed by the same events threatening the community. These risks and hazards persist after urgent attempts by local authorities to protect the town. This thesis builds on the existing discourse surrounding the future of Franz Josef, where the outlook for the town remains uncertain, lacking a clear proposition for future sustainability and longevity. By maintaining people and place at its heart, this research aims to explore ideas to relocate the Franz Josef township out of harm’s way and investigate the potential of architecture to provide an alternative, resilient future for the town. This research aims to critically engage with the social, cultural, and environmental contexts to test how a new architectural proposal can facilitate improvements to community resilience and maintain a sense of place for a town facing relocation. Using a research-through-design approach, this research investigated Franz Josef to generate a design response for a changing climate and landscape. The findings of this thesis contribute vital ideas to the future of planned relocation and managed retreat in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand, while challenging boundaries of resilient architecture. Ultimately, this research serves as an open-ended design proposal, where discussions about the future of planned relocation can be stimulated.

This study examines the impact of Big Data applications on various facets of organizational performance, specifically focusing on Business Success, Business Continuity, and Organization Sustainability. Data was collected through self-reported questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS AMOS, incorporating Pearson correlation tests and regression analyses. The results demonstrate that Big Data has a positive but generally weak correlation with these organizational aspects. Notably, mitigating risks and identifying hidden market trends stand out as the most significant factors for Business Success. Business continuity during unexpected disruptions and efficient resource allocation are crucial for Business Continuity. For Organization Sustainability, the direct impact of retrieved data on sustainable decisions and Big Data analytics for planning eco-sustainable futures are key. These findings underscore the potential of Big Data in enhancing organizational performance, suggesting areas where organizations can harness data for strategic advantages. Further research and broader datasets may offer deeper insights into these relationships.
A Strongly Convergent Hybrid Method to Unify Split Generalized Mixed Equilibrium and Fixed Point Problems
Authors: Rizvi Shuja Haider , Sikander Fahad
Published: September 2024

The aim of this paper is twofold, we propose an extension to the split generalized mixed equilibrium problem firstly and introduce an iterative method based on a hybrid extragradient method. The goal is to efficiently find a common solution for both the split generalized mixed equilibrium problem and the fixed point problem concerning a nonexpansive mapping within the context of real Hilbert spaces. We conduct a thorough analysis of the proposed iterative method and establish a strong convergence theorem under certain mild conditions. Moreover, we present various implications derived from our main result and conduct numerical experiments to validate our findings. Our outcomes represent a substantial expansion and generalization of existing iterative methods and results within this field.

In this study, the leaching behavior of a Gazipasa-Aydap complex Zn-Pb ore sample in sulfuric acid solutions was investigated. Firstly, the chemical and mineralogical compositions of the ore sample were determined by AAS, ICP-OES, XRF, and XRD analyses. The ore seemed to be very complex, containing major amounts of zinc (16.4%), lead (10.6%), iron (2.6%), and a minor amount of copper (0.2%). The leaching experiments demonstrated that 86.7% Zn, 90% Cu, and 25.2% Fe could be taken into the leach solution under the following conditions: 2 M sulfuric acid concentration, 25 °C leaching temperature, 1/10 solid-to-liquid ratio, and 125 rpm shaking rate. The effects of the leaching temperature on the metal dissolutions were also tested. The experimental results revealed that increasing the leaching temperature had no beneficial effect on zinc dissolution, but increased iron dissolution significantly. Overall, it was determined that zinc could be extracted from the complex ore using a short leaching time (30 min), a low leaching temperature (25 °C), a relatively low sulfuric acid concentration (2 M), and a relatively high solid-to-liquid ratio (2/10).
