Published: September 2015

O envelhecer pode ser conceituado como um processo consequente de alterações no organismo, que se apresentam de forma variável e individual. Os grupos de terceira idade são possibilidades de troca e interação com pessoas da mesma geração, por meio dos grupos de convivência o idoso tem a possibilidade de construir novos laços de relação e novas formas de compartilhar o aprendizado com outros indivíduos. Sendo assim, objetivou-se identificar como as idosas participantes de um grupo de convivência percebem a sua sexualidade. Estudo de natureza exploratória, descritiva, com abordagem quanti-qualitativa com idosas, participantes de um grupo de convivência. O perfil demográfico das idosas pesquisadas é caracterizado por 60% (n=9) de viúvas, 53,3% (n=8) possuem o ensino fundamental incompleto, 80% (n=12) afirmaram ser católicas praticantes. 53,3% (n=8) relataram que o tema sexualidade não é discutido abertamente na sua família, 40% (n=6) afirmaram que o sexo é muito importante e 13,3% (n=2) afirmam que praticam sexo. As idosas pesquisadas acham importante a atividade sexual e pensam em sexo.

Published: September 2015

A Doença Renal Crônica (DRC) constitui-se da perda lenta, progressiva e irreversível das funções renais excretoras, endócrinas e metabólicas. O objetivo do trabalho foi correlacionar os métodos de avaliação nutricional em pacientes submetidos à hemodiálise em uma clínica particular do município de São Paulo. O estudo foi realizado em uma clínica especializada em doença renal crônica situada no município de São Paulo com pacientes de ambos os sexos e com idade superior a 18 anos, que realizavam hemodiálise no período na coleta de dados. Para a coleta de dados foi aplicada a Avaliação Subjetiva Global para pacientes com doença renal. Foi calculado o índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e aferidas a dobra cutânea de tríceps (DCT) e circunferência de braço (CB) após a sessão de diálise. Com as medidas aferidas, foi calculada a circunferência muscular do braço (CMB). Calculou-se a correlação de Spearman entre os resultados da avaliação subjetiva e as variáveis antropométricas. A amostra final foi composta por 60 pacientes, 36,6% do sexo masculino e 63,3% do sexo feminino, sendo 37 idosos e 23 adultos. A intensidade das correlações entre as variáveis IMC vs. Questionário, IMC vs. CMB, DCT vs. CB e CMB vs. Questionário se mostrou muito fraca, fraca, fraca e muito fraca respectivamente. Destaca-se que as correlações IMC vs. CMB e DCT vs. CB, apesar de fracas, apresentaram significância estatística (p<0,05). Conclui-se que o uso de diferentes métodos de avaliação nutricional representa significativa melhoria do padrão diagnóstico de pacientes com DRC.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar comparativamente a evolução da morbidade hospitalar de idosos na região da Associação dos Municípios do Setentrião Paranaense (AMUSEP), entre os anos de 2000 e 2010, com base nos dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH-SUS). Os grupos foram analisados de acordo com as causas constantes na 10ª revisão da Classificação Internacional da Doença e Problemas Relacionados à Saúde (CID-10) disponibilizados no DATASUS. Os resultados mostraram declínio nas taxas totais de morbidade referentes às doenças do sistema nervoso, aparelho circulatório, respiratório, causas mal definidas e causas externas, com taxas respectivas de 17,46%, 69,10%, 4,52%, 57,26% e 1,81% no ano 2000 e em 2010 passaram respectivamente para 5,87%, 39,14%, 36,48%, 2,81% e 0,97%. Em contrapartida, houve aumento das taxas de morbidade por doenças infecciosas e parasitárias, neoplasias, doenças do sangue, órgãos hematopoéticos e transtornos imunitários, aparelho geniturinário, lesões, envenenamento e algumas consequências externas, que no ano de 2000 representaram taxas anuais de 7,51%, 4,25%, 7,08%, 7,67%, e 7,91% e em 2010 passaram a apresentar taxa de 12,21%, 27,61%, 9,15%, 8,49% e 10,97%, respectivamente. A realização deste estudo possibilitou não apenas o conhecimento das tendências de internações por morbidade de idosos residentes na região da AMUSEP, como também a constatação da necessidade de implantação de políticas públicas e programas de assistência à saúde capazes de reduzir essas taxas e modificar o perfil da saúde da população.

O termo crioterapia é utilizado para descrever a aplicação de modalidades de frio que tem uma variação de temperatura de 0º C a 18,3º C. Desse modo, o objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar e discutir os métodos de aplicação da crioterapia divulgados nas publicações científicas brasileiras nos últimos dez anos. Para a realização desta revisão sistemática da literatura, utilizou-se como fonte de pesquisa os artigos de periódicos científicos nacionais nas bases de dados Scientific Eletronic Library Online (Scielo), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e Google Acadêmico. Os descritores na língua portuguesa utilizados na pesquisa foram: “crioterapia”, “hipotermia induzida” e “resposta ao choque frio”. Foram utilizados artigos publicados entre os anos de 2004 e 2014. Foram classificados 21 artigos de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão. O método de aplicação da crioterapia mais frequente foi a aplicação com bolsa de gelo ou compressa de gelo, que consiste em resfriamento que se concentra na pele em até 1 cm de profundidade, geralmente aplicado com um tempo estimado entre 15 a 30 minutos. Com a realização deste trabalho verificou-se que a crioterapia é um excelente recurso terapêutico, sendo utilizada de forma efetiva para provocar redução da sensibilidade, da dor, pode também ajudar na redução da resistência à movimentação passiva e espasticidade. Não se mostrou eficaz no aumento da força muscular, da flexibilidade e em tratamentos para redução da gordura corporal.

Trata-se de um trabalho de revisão integrativa, realizado através das bases de dados eletrônicas e portais de periódicos: Periódicos CAPES, biblioteca eletrônica SCIELO e Google Acadêmico. A consulta dos artigos foi realizada no período de junho a agosto de 2014, por intermédio de pesquisa on-line, sendo selecionados sete artigos, os quais atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Verifica-se que os artigos publicados buscam identificar e descrever os resultados obtidos pela assistência nos CPN à mãe e ao bebê, além da satisfação das mesmas nestes serviços. Observou-se que os CPN oferecem atendimento digno à mãe, à criança e à toda a família, reduzindo às práticas, medicamentos, as intervenções desnecessárias no parto e também as complicações, além de trazer conforto, segurança e bem-estar à gestante e ao recém-nascido mediante ao atendimento humanizado e de qualidade realizado pelos profissionais, principalmente os enfermeiros. É possível perceber também uma diminuição das taxas de cesáreas onde foram implantados os CPN, e maior satisfação das mulheres atendidas, onde as mesmas possuem autonomia no seu trabalho de parto, além de todo apoio oferecido pelos familiares e enfermeiros durante todo o processo no nascimento. Portanto, destaca-se o enfermeiro como um profissional fundamental nesta assistência realizada às parturientes, prestando atendimento de qualidade, além de dar apoio e transmitir segurança às mulheres.
Socrates in Thee Plato's Works: Uniformity of Styles and Life in all the Works
Authors: Etemadifard Azam , Hoseyney Malik
Published: September 2015

Despite the fact, only one of the Plato's treatises among his coaction of works is titled "Defending Socrates"; however, one can say that all the Plato's works are based on defense of Socrates. Meanwhile, they are founded on defending Socratic thoughts, manners and finally his life. Some scholars have considered historic Socrates as being distinct from the Platonic Socrates with regards to the Plato's thoughts. The author intends, contrary to that which is famous regarding Socrates inthe Plato's works, to see the Socratic life and manner as being uniform in all the works; Hence based on this uniformity, the principles governing on his original philosophical life have been inferred from the content of his thoughts.

Authors: Bhagawati Kaushik , Shukla Kshitiz Kumar , Sen Amit , Jini Doni
Published: September 2015

Almost all the tribes across the world have their own indigenous concept of rules, regulation and grievance redress system developed with the evolution of the community to maintain peace, justice and harmony. The indigenous people takes law as a way of life and understand it through experience and interactions. The objective of the current research was to study one unique justice delivery system to address non-criminal cases that cannot be dealt with normal procedure due to lack of evidence, witness and formal proof. The system is prevailing among the tribes of eastern Himalayan region of India. The phenomenological approach was used to study the system as it is in situ. The justice is delivered on the basis of unique system of decision making between two alternatives based on the shape of chicken liver. Involvement of spirituality and spirit make the system acceptable to both the complainant and defendant. The unique characteristic of the system is that it does not penalize the loser, instead the court pray for them and bless them for abiding the decision of the court in presence of the spirit. The justice delivery system aims to maintain harmony in the society as well as save the face of both the loser and winner. In the present system, the justice delivered may be not the just decision, but the loser accepts the decision considering it as the command of the god and spirit without keeping any grudges against the winner. The system demands participation of whole village irrespective of gender and ages, with fundamental aim of preserving the custom and hand down to the next generation.
Speech Act of Thanking: A Contrastive Analysis among Iranian EFL Learners in Terms of Gender and Level of Proficiency
Authors: Azima Mina , Hesabi Akbar
Published: September 2015

The speech act of thanking is one of the fairly neglected areas of research in the Iranian context. The present study seeks to investigate the ways in which this social act is expressed by young male and female EFL learners. To collect the data for this study sixty participants (30 males, 30females) were selected randomly from among the population of BA and MA students of Najafabad university and students learning English in a language institutes located in Najafabad. The major focus of this study was the role that gender and individuals’ level of proficiency might play in the application of thanking strategies. Students were asked to complete a discourse completion test (DCT). They were supposed to read thirteen natural situations, and react to them via expressing gratitude. In order to analyze the utterances of thanking, Cheng’s coding scheme was employed. Students’ responses were further classified according to the gender and level of proficiency. The results revealed that the females were more cautious in selecting strategies of gratitude. Individuals’ level of proficiency was also found to play an important role in the process of strategy selection.
It Rings a Bell or Breeds Contempt? Activating Background Knowledge and Reading Recall
Authors: Heidari-Shahreza Mohammad Ali
Published: September 2015

The present study examined the possible effects of activating background knowledge on reading recall of 20 Iranian EFL learners by giving the experimental participants a text from Persian literature, a culturally-familiar source, and contrasting their key points recall with those of another group of learners who did not know the text origin. Findings revealed that the participants who did not know the source of the text did significantly better than the experimental group who were given the source and the context. While a small-scale study, this study may suggest that using culture-based reading materials may not always help the learners' reading performance. In addition, the activation of background knowledge may result in overreliance on prior knowledge resources and trigger affective barriers such as lack of interest which may be to the detriment of readers’ recall.

Philosophy does not solve problems related to other disciplines alone as Winch, P. (1958:4) believes or as others might think, there are philosophical problems too irrespective of the position of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Karl Popper (1952:129) declared:My own view of the matter is that only as long as I have genuine philosophical problems to solve shall I continue to take an interest in philosophy. I fail to understand the attraction of a philosophy without problems.

Visible Women: Female Sodomy in the Late Medieval and Early Modern Southern Netherlands (1400-1550)
Authors: Roelens Jonas
Published: September 2015

Compared to the number of prosecutions for male sodomy, few cases of same-sex acts between women are known in early modern Europe. In the Southern Netherlands however, no less than 25 women were charged with this crime between c. 1400 and 1550, which means that nearly one out of ten accused sodomites in the region was a woman. Moreover, female sodomites were punished in the same way as their male counterparts. This article argues that the exceptional repression of female same-sex acts was the result of the relatively high level of liberty and visibility women enjoyed in the Southern Netherlands, compared to other regions. The more visible women were in society, the more women attracted to people of their own sex were at risk of being discovered and penalised. Zichtbare vrouwen. Vrouwelijke sodomie in de laatmiddeleeuwse en vroegmoderne Zuidelijke Nederlanden (1400-1550)In vergelijking met het aantal mannelijke sodomieprocessen dat in vroegmodern Europa gevoerd werd, zijn er amper zaken bekend waarin vrouwen betrokken waren. In de Zuidelijke Nederlanden daarentegen werden niet minder dan 25 vrouwelijke sodomieten vervolgd tussen ca. 1400 en 1550. Dit betekent dat bijna één op de tien beschuldigde sodomieten in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden vrouwen waren. Bovendienwerden vrouwelijke sodomieten op dezelfde manier bestraft als hun mannelijke tegenhangers. Dit artikel stelt dat de grote mate van vrijheid en zichtbaarheid die vrouwen in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden genoten de oorzaak is van de uitzonderlijk hoge vervolgingsgraad van vrouwelijke sodomie in de regio. Hoe zichtbaarder vrouwen waren in de maatschappij, hoe groter het risico voor vrouwen die zich aangetrokken voelden tot andere vrouwen om ontdekt en bestraft te worden.

Published: September 2015

A adoção do sistema de custos integrado e coordenado com a contabilidade, além de atender uma exigência fiscal, permite às empresas obterem informações corretas sobre a valorização dos estoques. A apuração do custo dos produtos sem este sistema leva a uma valoração distorcida do custo dos produtos e, consequentemente, a geração de informações erradas na elaboração das demonstrações contábeis e tomada de decisões gerenciais. Diante desse cenário o estudo tem como objetivo a identificação de todos os procedimentos para a implantação e funcionamento do sistema de custo integrado e coordenado com a contabilidade (SCICC). Inicialmente, procedeu-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica para identificar quais são os procedimentos que a literatura especializada prescreve para a implantação e funcionamento do referido sistema. Posteriormente, procedeu-se um estudo de caso, em uma empresa metalúrgica, que já vem utilizando o sistema, com o objetivo de verificar se a mesma seguiu os procedimentos previstos pela literatura para a implantação e se está seguindo os procedimentos definidos para a sua utilização. O estudo de caso foi executado analisando os documentos e processos efetuados pelo sistema adotado pela empresa em estudo. Ao final do estudo, identificou-se a necessidade de alguns ajustes no sistema, já que alguns procedimentos não estão sendo seguidos conforme previsto. Com base nessas constatações, foram apresentadas diversas sugestões de ajustes, visando melhorar o funcionamento do sistema.

Nestedness of trophic links and biological traits in a marine food web
Authors: Nordström M. C. , Aarnio K. , Törnroos A. , Bonsdorff E.
Published: September 2015

To understand the consequences of changes in diversity we need to consider the functional characteristics (traits) of species, as well as the trophic setting the taxa are part of. These two approaches have rarely been conducted in an integrated manner, although we know that trophic structure is an important driver of community functioning, and that biological traits, in particular body size, in turn determine which species interact. In this study, we assessed how structural food‐web attributes (nestedness, generality, vulnerability) relate to multiple biological traits of interacting taxa. We found that the inherent complexity of a shallow subtidal trophic network of benthic macroinvertebrates and fish in the northern Baltic Sea contained identifiable and specific patterns: the feeding interactions were highly nested, both in terms of prey taxonomy and biological traits, suggesting trophic redundancy rather than trophic complementarity. Both trait diversity and trait redundancy of interacting species increased as a function of predator generality and prey vulnerability. These central food‐web metrics, predator generality and prey vulnerability, were dependent on body size, which emerged as a fundamental trait. Body size, environmental habitat and body design were the relatively most important prey traits distinguishing between diets of smaller vs. larger predators, revealing morphological and spatial dimensions of predator trophic niches in the study community. We suggest continued development of an approach integrating functional diversity with the food web to effectively assess community structure, function and species interactions, and ultimately identify ecological impacts in communities undergoing environmental change in the Anthropocene.
The Fiscal System Influence on Oil Fields Development and Government Participation
Authors: Marques Lívia Moraes
Published: September 2015

In 2010, the Brazilian government changed its regulatory framework for the exploration and production of the pre-salt reserves, located in the Campos and Santos basins, from royalty and tax (R&T) to a production-sharing contract (PSC) to increase the government take (GT). When defining an oil or natural gas reservoir production strategy, not only all available reservoir characteristics and economic scenarios must be considered, but also the fiscal system involved. Previous works have shown that, in more optimistic economic scenarios, the optimal recovery strategy presents low dependency on fiscals systems. This work aims to evaluate the fiscal system dependency on an oil field development under different economic scenarios to verify if that behavior continues. Two different reservoir models were submitted to a production strategy selection process for both fiscal systems in four economic scenarios. The results were compared using technical and economic evaluation indicators. Considering the development and production strategy based on the company objective-function net present value (NPV), results showed that the fiscal system influences the strategy and level of investments, mainly in pessimistic economic scenarios, where fewer investments reduce the government return compared to the former tax system. The PSC was designed aiming to generate higher government participations. Results suggest that, in fact, the GT of the optimized strategies for PSC are superior to the results from R&T. However, this is not a pattern when analyzed from the viewpoint of government revenues (GR). Reservoir models with high volumes of original oil in place (OOIP) generate higher total revenue (TR) when developed under R&T, leading to higher revenues for both the company and the government. Results indicate the importance of analyzing the government participations with care when interpreting both indicators and the influence of the fiscal system when selecting a production strategy under more pessimistic economic scenarios.

Published: September 2015

The responses of Sargassum thunbergii germlings to high temperature, low salinity, desiccation, combined
thermal and osmotic stress (35 ºC combined with 12 psu), anthracene, and eutrophication were examined. Probit
regression analysis results showed that the median lethal time (LT50) values of high temperature decreased with the
increase in temperature. The 24 h median lethal temperature was 36.9 ºC. For salinity treatment, the LT50 value of fresh
water was 47.6 h. Survival rates of germlings were over 60% when germlings were exposed to salinities ranging from 27
psu to 7 psu at a time interval of 108 h post-treatment. The LT50 values of desiccation and combined thermal and osmotic
stress (35 ºC combined with 12 psu) were 7.0 h and 9.8 h, respectively. Anovas showed that germlings were inhibited by
high concentrations of anthracene (5 mg L-1 and 10 mg L-1) with low survival rates of below 50% and low relative growth
rates of below 1% after 25 days of culture; however, low concentrations (0.01-1 mg L-1) had no significant effects. In
addition, neither severe eutrophication nor disproportionality of N/P showed any significant effect on the survival and
growth of germlings. Of the environmental stresses tested, possible occurrence of high temperature of 40 ºC and
combined thermal and osmotic stress directly impacted the survival of germlings, suggesting that the deterioration of S. thunbergii
bed may be related more to increasing extreme climatic events.

Eighteen forests of Camellia oleifera in Hainan province, China were selected to measure the contents of
selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pd) and arsenic (As) in soils, roots, leaves,
and kernels, and analyze the correlation between the soil content and the corresponding content in the plant. It was found
that the content of Se in soils ranged between 0.489 and 2.110 mg/kg, and was higher than 1.0 mg/kg in 10 out of 18
forests. The average content of six heavy metals was low and fulfilled the requirements of soil environment for green-food
production, except that the contents of Cr, Pb, and Cd exceeded standards in few regions. The content of Se in Camellia
oleifera was relatively low. Only five regions showed detectable levels of Se in kernels, with the highest in Fuwen Town
of Dingan county of 0.085 mg/kg. The contents of Zn, Cr, Pb, Cd, As, and Hg in roots of Camellia oleifera were higher
than in the leaves and kernels. The contents of Zn, Cr, and Pb were higher than that of Cd, As, and Hg. The As content in
soil was in significant correlation with that in the roots of Camellia oleifera. The Pd content in the soil was positively
correlated with that of the roots of Camellia oleifera. The Cr, Pd and Cd contents in roots were in positive correlation with
that in the leaves significantly. However, the Hg content of the roots was positively correlated with that of the kernels.
Furthermore, the Se content in roots of Camellia oleifera was negatively associated with that of the other six heavy
metals, having a significantly negative correlation between Se and As.

Steel Slag Composite Materials
Authors: Xiushu Tian , Yufang Han , Weifang Hou
Published: September 2015

This study investigates the effect of three kinds of activating agent on the mechanical performance of steel slag
composite materials. Hydration products of the pastes at different ages are investigated by XRD. The results show that
compared with the calcium hydroxide, gypsum and sodium sulfate can excite the activation of steel slag more effectively.
When amount of gypsum is 1.5%, the 3d strength increases to 1.2MPa, 7d strength increases to 3.3MPa, 28d strength
increases to 5.0MPa. Ca2+ and SO42- are provided by gypsum, SiO2, Fe2O3 and Al2O3 in steel slag act with Ca(OH)2,
hydration products such as hydrated calcium silicate, are generated in the paste. Enhancement of early strength may be
attributed to rapidly consumption of Al2O3 in steel slag and Ca(OH)2. When amount of Na2SO4 is 1.5%, the 3d strength
increases to 5.1MPa, 7d strength increases to 6.5MPa, 28d strength increases to 15.5MPa. XRD patterns show that the
main products are consist of hydrated calcium silicate, Aft and calcium hydroxide. These products are bonded together,
fill the void of paste, so the density increased, and higher strength are obtained.

As a kind of supporting material applied to the supporting structure, steel-plastic geogrid mainly goes through
the tensile strength to bear the load from the rock mass. Tensile strength is an important indicator of the steel-plastic
geogrid mechanical properties. Tensile strength directly affects the security and stability of the steel geogrid in support of
the project. Through the test of indoor geogrid stretching which combines different sizes' geogrids with different
elongation rates, tensile strengths of these geogrids were compared. The findings are as follows: (1) The stretching rate
has a significant effect on the tensile property of steel-plastic geogrid. When the strain is constant, the higher the
stretching rate is, the lower the tensile strength of the geogrid will be. When the stretching rate is constant, the greater the
strain plastic geogrid is, the greater the tensile strength will be; (2) The peak degree always decreases with the extension
rates' increase; a higher tensile strength material means a smaller reducing amplitude; under the conditions of the same
stretch rate, the lower the tensile strength of the geogrid is, the higher the peak strain will be; (3)The influences on
different geogrids vary when the tensile rates are different. Steel-plastic geogrid get less influenced by the stretching
rate than the plastic geogrid.

Published: September 2015

In the system of cloth simulation, the process of cloth deformation and the method of self-collision detection
have great significance for fast cloth deformation and realistic rendering. In this paper, we first presented a novel contour
test based on the star-shaped property of a polygon, i.e. the central data structure for efficient execution of the star-contour
test. Then, the paper describes and compares in detail, directly accumulation method and global stiffness matrix method.
Taking efficiency, stability and convergence into consideration, the paper puts forward an explicit-implicit combined
method which is suitable for force models. At last, a fabric deformation constraint method has been designed, which is
used for linear FEM. This method is effective to restrain the fabric from excessive deformation behavior and create realistic
simulation results.
The Contribution of Nasal Murmur to the Perception of Nasal Consonant
Authors: Bai Fan
Published: September 2015

Identification of perceptual cues can be very helpful in almost all areas of speech signal processing. Recently, a
new methodology called the 3-Dimensional-Deep Search and a visualized intelligible time-frequency computer-based
model AI-gram have been introduced for research on the perceptual cues. Based on the technique, the acoustic cues for
stop consonants [1], fricative consonants [2] and nasal consonants [3] are successfully found. However, these have limitations
for studying the contribution of nasal murmur to the recognition of nasal consonants due to the following reasons:
Firstly, they only allow the investigation of individual recognition effects along the time, frequency and amplitude axes.
The effects of frequency and amplitude in a combinatorial way cannot be studied. Secondly, the initial value for the highpass
filter in the filter experiment HL07 [4] is set to 697 Hz, but the nasal murmur region lies around 250 Hz. The perceptual
contribution of nasal murmur to the nasal consonants cannot be assessed. To solve these problems, a new experiment
has been designed by analyzing the experiment data and comparing them with the stimuli under different SNRs via AIgram.
It is revealed that when the primary cue of nasal consonant is clear, which is usually under high SNRs, filtering out
nasal murmur does not affect its correct perception. However, when the primary cue is weak usually under low SNRs, nasal
murmur has strong complementary effects on the primary cue, and can greatly suppress confusions. This conclusion
can be used for noise-robust speech recognition.

Published: September 2015

An immune genetic algorithm (IGA) is proposed to optimize the reinforced concrete (RC) frame-shear wall
structures. Compared with the simple genetic algorithm (SGA), this algorithm has adaptive search capabilities for the future
knowledge being used in the process of population evolution. Since the concrete grade of floors and the layout of
walls are translated to binary codes, the implementation of this algorithm is not affected by the complexity of the structures.
With I-typed vaccine, the continuous vertical stiffness of structure is ensured; With II-typed vaccine, the structures
conforms to all the specifications which including floor shift angle, floor displacement ratio and period ratio. At the element
level, the optimizing results satisfy all the specifications required by the current Chinese Codes. In this way, a computer
program is created to get optimum design schemes.

Published: September 2015

Continuous high pressure water jets currently have many industrial applications, for example, mining coal,
cutting materials, and cleaning fouling layers. To gain a thorough understanding of the helix nozzle structure, which is
optimized by adding an internal spiral line from a cylindrical contracting nozzle, and thereby study jetting characteristics
and cleaning effectiveness, a numerical simulation method is presented to capture the features of velocity magnitude and
directions and the dynamic pressure in and out of the nozzle. This approach follows the fact that it is more efficient to
perform shearing action on the fouling layer in the cleaning process beyond an axial impacting action functioned by a
traditional cylindrical contracting nozzle. The results reported in this paper show that the velocity magnitude of the jet
issuing from the helix nozzle produces a relatively concentrated distribution, considering the guidance and disturbance by
the spiral line, and the dynamic pressure shows similar characteristics. The shearing action of the tangential jetting and the
entrainment effect of the shear eddy strengthen cleaning effectiveness.

Published: September 2015

A new like-U type flexure hinge structure is proposed, based on Castigliano’s second theorem and calculus
theory. Taking the centrifugal angle parameters as the integration variable, and defining the intermediate parameters, it
deduces the analytic computational formula for the like-U type flexure hinge flexibility. By changing the structural
parameter of the flexure hinge, it is able to transform four different structure flexure hinges, and the deduced analytic
computation formula can be applied to all of these four structures flexure hinges. After the twelve flexure hinges of
different structures have been analyzed by applying finite-element method, it is found that the results are in good
agreement with the results of analytic computation formula. Thus, the validity of the analytic computation formula is
verified, realize accurate design and computation for such flexure hinges is realized, and the theoretical base for technical
application of like-U type flexure hinge is provided.

Published: September 2015

In the process of recycling EOL (end of life) products, disassembly is an important stage. Moreover, there are
several targets for disassembly: reuse, remanufacturing and material recycling. In order to improve the efficiency of
disassembly, only the component which need to be reused or remanufactured need to be disassembled with nondestructive
method. The rest components which recycled for material can be disassembled with partial destructive
method. Namely, partial destructive disassembly is more practical than total disassembly within recycling process for
EOL products. In this paper, the generally used partial destructive disassembly methods are analyzed. And several rules
are defined for reconstructing the hybrid graph of EOL product. And then, an extended Floyd algorithm is proposed for
searching optimized disassembly sequence. With this algorithm, the material properties of parts, connection properties
between parts or components are taking into account. By ranking the cost of several possible disassembly path, the
optimal disassembly sequence is obtained for target component. At last, a soybean milk machine is used as a study case to
verify the former approach.
