La necesidad de un diálogo con la visión humanista que dio origen a la Universidad Publica en México
Authors: Muñoz Benjamin Panduro
Published: November 2016

En el presente trabajo se enfoca la disonancia entre el discurso oficial y la evaluación de los procesos académicos, sociales y administrativos de las universidades públicas mexicanas. Desde esta problemática, se cuestiona la falta de compromiso con el encuentro auténtico entre las personas, convivencia ferozmente azotada por los estereotipos, prácticas y criterios mercantiles de los gobiernos neoliberales. La propuesta que se percibe a lo largo del trabajo es la de un enfoque humano como pensar crítico, es decir, como una reflexión dispuesta a repensarse desde la perspectiva del otro con el fin de aumentar la comprensión de lo humano, de igual manera y en el mismo sentido, como capacidad para percibir lo superfluo y vano que condiciona, subordina y manipula el concepto de lo humano. La visión convivencial, que privilegia el encuentro con el hombre real, y que está dispuesta a reconfigurarse para no perder el contacto con las personas, se contrapone a la visión instrumental que gusta del encuentro conceptual para controlar y aprovechar la energía de los individuos como un insumo más en la dinámica de la producción. La propuesta tiene su fundamento y anclaje en el anti-positivismo mexicano, que ya desde finales del siglo XIX viene criticando la visión instrumentalista que se instaló en la educación mexicana.
Delineamentos metodológicos da pesquisa em educação
Authors: Fornari Liege Maria Sitja
Published: November 2016

Hoje é notório no currículo da graduação a presença de disciplinas voltadas para o ensino de métodos e técnicas de pesquisa. Tal presença pode ser atribuída à exigência da elaboração da monografia para a conclusão do curso. No âmbito da pós-graduação, aos componentes curriculares de ensino dos fundamentos da pesquisa científica somam-se os de orientação da prática da investigação, a exemplo da disciplina “Trabalho individual orientado”. A pesquisa acadêmica, que anteriormente se fazia quase que exclusivamente no espaço da pós-graduação, conquista seu espaço também na graduação. Este artigo foi motivado para atender aos estudantes que, no contexto das aulas de metodologia da graduação em Pedagogia na Universidade do Estado da Bahia, solicitaram um texto que apresentasse o processo de elaboração do projeto de pesquisa. Uma das funções mais importantes da prática docente do professor universitário é a de orientar e dirigir as atividades de pesquisa dos estudantes. O grande desafio do professor universitário é a formação de um profissional crítico e autônomo que seja capaz de refletir sobre o caminho percorrido durante o próprio caminhar, negando-se a repetir receitas e ter uma práxis reducionista e reiterativa em vez de criativa.

Authors: Genro Maria Elly Herz , Caregnato Célia Elizabete , Miorando Bernardo Sfredo
Published: November 2016

Este artigo narra a história de alguém que está inserida num contexto social e político, tendo desdobramentos na construção de uma carreira acadêmica, produto de uma prática concreta em que a pesquisadora e educadora Denise Balarine Leite constitui num movimento de intervenção na formação humana. A sua história revela influências recíprocas com seus alunos, orientandos e parceiros de pesquisa e estudos. Este processo é produto de suas crenças e valores que sedimentam suas opções numa tomada de consciência do mundo e do nosso país, levando em conta contingências e limites da vida. Evidenciamos que os conceitos de inovação, avaliação participativa, parceria, redesenho capitalista das universidades, imperialismo benevolente e redes de produção de relações/conhecimentos estão articulados, formando uma teia em que a pesquisadora interpreta a realidade da universidade – suas múltiplas relações –, enquanto lócus instituído e instituinte.
Memorial do professor Nilton Bueno Fischer
Authors: Fischer Gustavo Daudt , Fischer Janaína Daudt
Published: November 2016

O presente texto foi gerado a partir de cópia impressa encontrada entre diversos materiais preservados por Gustavo e Janaina, filhos do professor Nilton Bueno Fischer, após seu falecimento em julho de 2009. Embora escrito em 1993, o texto, por tratar-se de um memorial, apresenta um relato em que lembranças afetivas se entrelaçam a uma sensível visão do professor Nilton sobre o campo da educação e seu potencial transdisciplinar e transformador que o fez levar adiante por mais tempo (ainda que tão pouco!) tantas iniciativas dentro e fora dos muros da universidade. Inferimos que talvez não seja uma versão completamente revisada por ele, mas ainda assim optamos por reproduzir ao máximo o texto no original.
As tecnologias da informação e comunicação e o processo de orientação na pós-graduação
Authors: Turnes Luíza , Bianchetti Lucídio
Published: November 2016

As mudanças introduzidas pela CAPES, no Brasil, e a implementação do Processo de Bolonha (PB), na União Europeia (UE), alteraram, entre outros aspectos, a relações orientador-orientando. A partir de modificações diversas, as Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TICs) passaram a desempenhar um papel determinante no processo de orientação, bem como para que as universidades melhorassem suas posições nos rankings. Por meio de entrevistas com pesquisadores brasileiros e investigadores de universidades da UE, vinculados à Pós-Graduação (PG), objetivamos analisar como as TIC foram incorporadas, que mediação desempenharam na relação orientador-orientando e as decorrências ao processo da comunicação entre estes. Os questionamentos sobre a qualidade do conhecimento produzido e as consequências da intensificação do trabalho aparecem na literatura e nas investigações empíricas que serviram de base para este trabalho.
Migração e escolarização em uma escola pública em Florianópolis/SC
Authors: Espinosa Henrique De Brito , Vendramini Célia Regina
Published: November 2016

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a incidência de estudantes migrantes no Ensino Médio na E.E.B. Padre Anchieta, em Florianópolis/SC, e compreender como sua condição de migrante interfere no processo de escolarização. A análise teve como base estudo bibliográfico sobre o tema, questionário aplicado aos jovens do Ensino Médio da escola, dois grupos focais, uma entrevista com a diretora e levantamento de documentos e dados da escola. No ano de 2015, existe um elevado número de estudantes migrantes matriculados no Ensino Médio da escola (109 do total de 230 estudantes). Verificou-se que a principal motivação desses estudantes migrantes é a busca de melhores condições de vida e oportunidades de trabalho; entretanto, devido às dificuldades de manutenção de vida na cidade, muitas vezes acabam retornando poucos meses depois de terem chegado a Florianópolis. Todo esse “vai e vem” dos migrantes acaba incidindo diretamente na escolarização desses jovens, pois, além dos problemas relacionados à adaptação na nova cidade, na escola e de terem que conciliar trabalho e estudo para ajudar na renda familiar, muitas vezes retornam para suas cidades no meio do calendário acadêmico.

Authors: Pacheco Edenir , Vieira Alboni Marisa Dudeque Pianovski
Published: November 2016

Esse estudo tem como objetivo compreender o significado das experiências de Gracita Gruber Marcondes por meio de sua história de vida. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, com uso de narrativas, por meio da história oral. Para isso, realizam-se entrevistas presenciais e analisaram-se fontes documentais e um livro de autoria da entrevistada. A responsabilidade em registrar e dar sentido à história de Guarapuava pela historiadora institui-se na forma de reunir em acervo particular de fotografias, livros, revistas, jornais e documentos, e sua dedicação demasiada ao ensino, tendo em vista que uma aula ministrada não é simplesmente um repasse de conteúdo, visto que enfatiza que o conteúdo apresentado aos alunos dever ser acompanhado de uma história, como maneira de dar significado ao que está sendo proposto. Nesse sentido, a professora Gracita contribuiu para que a história da memória da cidade de Guarapuava fosse preservada.

“Faithful money” as a new monetary concept of the Islamic banking
Authors: Benhayoun Nesrin , Fogal James
Published: November 2016

Coinciding with the Great Recession, Islamic banks have grown rapidly and have crossed the significant milestone of increased wider acceptance at a global level. In part this is due to their unique behavior in considering both ethical and economic activities rather than focus of profit only. This presents a departure from the conventional finance systems based on the use of the interest and the time value of money. This has led to propose new pattern named ’Faithful Money’ for valuation of money and for a performing monetary policy according to Islamic finance basics. This paper presents how following Islamic finance principles can offer substantive contributions to the economic and social development of the world by revealing the rational route to the vision of the highest good without the anathema of interests and debts’ dependence and to embrace the goal to advance the needs of humanity as a whole.
Constituents’ formal participation in the IASB’s due process: New insights into the impact of country and due process document characteristics.
Authors: Dobler Michael , Knospe Oliver
Published: November 2016

This paper adopts a multi-issue/multi-period approach to provide new insights into key determinants of constituents’ formal participation in the due process of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Based on an analysis of 8,825 comment letters submitted during the period 2006–2012, we find imbalances in the representation of constituents. Multiple regressions reveal that among various economic and cultural variables equity market capitalization and the society’s level of individualism are the key drivers of the country-level of constituents’ participation, and each variable has explanatory power over the other. The level of constituents’ participation is positively associated with the number of input opportunities offered by a due process document but unrelated to the complexity of a standard-setting project. The results are robust across various sub-samples and to additional sensitivity tests. Our findings indicate threats to the input legitimacy of the IASB and suggest avenues to stimulate constituents’ participation.
Fraud diamond: Detection analysis on the fraudulent financial reporting
Authors: Indarto Stefani Lily , Ghozali Imam
Published: November 2016

The accounting scandal became one of the reasons for analyzing financial statements in order to minimize fraud against the financial reporting. Therefore, companies use the services of a public accountant to audit the financial statements of companies that are expected to limit the fraudulent practices that increase the public’s confidence in the company’s financial statements. This study aims to detect fraud by using analysis of fraud diamond . This study takes banking companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2009-2014, with a total sample of 149 banks. Based on the results the external pressure, financial stability and capability have influence on fraudulent financial reporting. While target financial, ineffective monitoring and rationalization does not affect the fraudulent financial reporting.
Risk, opportunities and reasons of the household debt changes: The case of an emerging economy
Authors: Seane Sisimogang Tracy , Mah Gisele , Saah Paul
Published: November 2016

In the past decades, household debt in both developed and developing countries have been increasing. With an increase in the standard of living, household debt is also bound to increase. This paper examines the cointergation and causal link among household disposable income, household savings, debt service ratio, lending interest rate, consumer price index and household debt in South Africa. An Autoregressive Distributed Lag and Granger causality techniques was used to analyse data collected from the South African Reserve Bank and Quantec from 1984 to 2014. The results of Autoregressive Distributed Lag test revealed cointegrating relationships between household debt and debt service ratio as well as household debt and lending interest rate. However, there is no long run cointegrating relationship between household disposable income, household savings and consumer price index with household debt. The Granger causality results revealed that household disposable income, household savings, debt service ratio, lending interest rate, consumer price index do Granger cause household debt in South Africa. Policy makers should thus target these variables in order to reduce household debt in South Africa.
Retail banking service quality: A client perception study
Authors: Bhengu Mbablemhle , Naidoo Vannie
Published: November 2016

The retail banking sector in South Africa is predominantly characterised by a high face to face interaction and constant product and pricing differentiation. In order for a bank to distinguish itself from other banks in the banking industry, it uses excellence in its service quality to stand out against its competitors. In the study, the researchers adapted the SERVQUAL model to the banking industry. A probability sampling technique was employed for the study. Simple random sampling was employed to test MBA students’ perceptions towards service quality in the banking industry. The findings in the empirical study revealed that MBA students at the university were dissatisfied with the quality of service offerings provided by the retail banks in South Africa. There were quality gaps revealed in tangibles, reliability, empathy, responsiveness and reliability aspects of the service encounters.
Exploring corporate social responsibility and organisational commitment within a retail organisation
Authors: Soobramoney Jerelene , Ledimo Ophillia
Published: November 2016

Organisations have difficulty retaining employees who have the necessary talent, skills and knowledge to give the company a competitive edge in a global market, thus emphasising the need for organisational commitment. The objective of the study was to explore the relationship between corporate social responsibility and organisational commitment within a South African retail organisation. Corporate social responsibility has a positive influence on consumer behaviour and can contribute to corporate success because CSR activities enhance an organisation’s image. Research has indicated that corporate social responsibility is related to an employee’s commitment. The Corporate Social Responsibility Scale and the Organisational Commitment Scale were administered to a non-probability sample of 171 employees from a population of 268 employees in the human resources department of a retail company. Person’s correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between corporate social responsibility and organisational commitment. This study provided insight into the corporate social responsibility of the organisation. Managers and practitioners in the human resources may use these findings for the development of corporate social responsibility policies and practices in order to build employee commitment.
Comprehensibility and transparency of the impairment tests in contexts of crisis
Authors: Magli Francesca , Nobolo Alberto , Ogliari Matteo
Published: November 2016

The application of Impairment Test on Goodwill is one of the most debated issues in the international arena, both in relation to the multiple profiles of subjectivity inherent in the valuation criteria set out in IAS 36 and in relation to the novelty that brings this procedure. For this reason, in our work we analyze Goodwill, Impairment Test and the international regulations governing them that are IAS 36 and IFRS 3. The Goodwill is an important asset for some companies, an intangible asset that arises as a result of the acquisition of one company by another for a premium value. Its assessment is, however, discretionary. Main objective of this paper is to analyze this discretionary and check whether the information resulting from the Impairment Test on Goodwill is in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36. The empirical analysis has been developed on a selected sample relative to utilities in Europe who had recorded higher Goodwill in 2012. The results show that disclosures do not always conform to the requirements of IAS 36; in particular, there is a reluctance of the company managements in providing quantitative information about the sensitivity analysis of the Impairment Test results. The practical implications lead to stress that the reader of the financial statements is not facilitated, not only he fails to assess the effects on the recoverability of the value but also to recognize the reliability of the estimates.
The influence of information and communication technologies on organizational innovation. A perspective of Mexican SMEs
Authors: Cuevas-Vargas Héctor , López-Torres Gabriela Citlalli , Martínez Serna María del Carmen
Published: November 2016

The adoption of new organizational methods is essential for any firm to improve its ability to seize and create new knowledge, which is necessary to develop alternative types of innovations. Hence, the appropriate use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can substantially improve organizational innovation. In this sense, an empirical study of 288 manufacturing SMEs in the Guanajuato region, Mexico, was conducted to determine the influence of ICTs usage on organizational innovation in a developing country. The results obtained through the Structural Equation Modeling demonstrate that the use of ICTs substantially impacts on organizational innovation. Therefore, SMEs should use ICTs effectively and collaboratively with suppliers and customers to meet market trends and improve or innovate their products.
Efficient two-frequency ultrasound extraction of β-carotene from the fungus Blakeslea trispora
Authors: Avdeenko Anatoly , Belova Elena , Dasic Predrag , Konovalova Svetlana , Baklanova Larisa , Krstic Sanja , Milosavljevic Milutin
Published: November 2016

Carotenoids are known for their lower environmental pollution, lower costs, shorter extraction time compared to regular extraction methods and higher extraction efficiency. Ultrasound has significant advantages in the extraction of a great number of biologically active compounds including carotenoids. Benefits of using ultrasound for extraction of various compounds are numerous and include effective mixing and micro-mixing, more efficient energy transfer, reduced thermal and concentration gradients, reduced temperature. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of two-frequency ultrasound main parameters such as ultrasonic intensity, sonication time, and temperature. Application of two-frequency ultrasound (simultaneous influence of ultrasound with frequency of 20?46 kHz, intensity of 1.5?2.5 W/cm2 and frequency of 1.0?2.0 MHz, intensity of 2.0?3.0 W/cm2) raises the percentage of ?-carotene extraction from biomass of the fungus Blakeslea trispora from 90?92% up to 98?99% in comparison with one frequency ultrasound. The recommended oil temperature for the extraction process is 35?C, because lower temperature leads to reduction of percentage of ?-carotene extraction, and higher temperature promotes unjustified increase of expenditure of energy.
The study of radiation damage of EPROM 2764 memory
Authors: Domanski Grzegorz , Konarzewski Bogumil , Kurjata Robert , Marzec Janusz , Zaremba Krzysztof , Dziewiecki Michal , Ziembicki Marcin , Rychter Andrzej
Published: November 2016

A simple statistical theory of radiation damage of semiconductor memory has
been constructed. The radiation damage of EPROM memory has been investigated.
The measured number of damaged bytes is significantly lower than the expected
number resulting from the purely random distribution of the damaged bits. In
this way it has been proven that there is a correlation between the failures
of individual memory bits which are located in the same byte.
Natural radionuclides in soil profiles surrounding the largest coal-fired power plant in Serbia
Authors: Tanic Milan , Jankovic-Mandic Ljiljana , Gajic Bosko , Dakovic Marko , Dragovic Snezana , Bacic Goran
Published: November 2016

This study evaluates the influence of the largest Serbian coal-fired power
plant on radionuclide concentrations in soil profiles up to 50 cm in depth.
Thirty soil profiles were sampled from the plant surroundings (up to 10 km
distance) and analyzed using standard methods for soil physicochemical
properties and gamma ray spectrometry for specific activities of natural
radionuclides (40K, 226Ra and 232Th). Spatial and vertical distribution of
radionuclides was determined and analyzed to show the relations between the
specific activities in the soil and soil properties and the most influential
factors of natural radionuclide variability were identified. The radiological
indices for surface soil were calculated and radiological risk assessment was
performed. The measured specific activities were similar to values of
background levels for Serbia. The sampling depth did not show any significant
influence on specific activities of natural radionuclides. The strongest
predictor of specific activities of the investigated radionuclides was soil
granulometry. All parameters of radiological risk assessment were below the
recommended values and adopted limits. It appears that the coal-fired power
plant does not have a significant impact on the spatial and vertical
distribution of natural radionuclides in the area of interest, but
technologically enhanced natural radioactivity as a consequence of the plant
operations was identified within the first 1.5 km from the power plant.
Correlation analysis of gamma dose rate from natural radiation in the test field
Authors: Avdic Senada , Pehlivanovic Beco , Music Mersad , Osmanovic Alma
Published: November 2016

This paper deals with correlation analysis of gamma dose rate measured in the
test field with the five distinctive soil samples from a few minefields in
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The measurements of ambient dose
equivalent rate, due to radionuclides present in each of the soil samples,
were performed by the RADIAGEMTM 2000 portable survey meter, placed on the
ground and 1m above the ground. The gamma spectrometric analysis of the same
soil samples was carried out by GAMMA-RAD5 spectrometer. This study showed
that there is a high correlation between the absorbed dose rate evaluated
from soil radioactivity and the corresponding results obtained by the survey
meter placed on the ground. Correlation analysis indicated that the survey
meter, due to its narrow energy range, is not suitable for the examination of
cosmic radiation contribution.
Soil gas radon mapping of Muzaffarabad city, Pakistan
Authors: Tareen Aleem , Rafique Muhammad , Kearfot Kimberlee , Basharat Muhammad , Shafique Bilal
Published: November 2016

Soil-based radon investigations are of value in correlating radon production
and its transportation into buildings through the processes of convection and
diffusion. Such studies can help in identifying land areas that pose special
concerns. We present preliminary results of soil radon gas measurements at 60
different locations in an attempt to map out the geohazard zone of the city
of Muzaffarabad. The seismic geohazard microzonation for the area includes
five microzones based on different hazard parameters: a very high hazard
zone, a high hazard zone, a moderate hazard zone, a low hazard zone, and a
safe zone. Measurements were taken with an active radon monitoring system at
the depths of 30, 40, 50, and 60 cm below the ground surface. The results
obtained were explained by the lithology of the area. Average soil radon gas
concentrations were correlated with the depth from the ground surface and
indoor radon values for the study area. No significant correlation was found
between soil radon gas and meteorological parameters, however soil radon gas
increases as the depth from the surface of the ground grows. The results
showed a linear relation between soil radon concentrations with depth from
ground surface (R2 = 0.9577). The minimum soil radon concentration (68.5
Bq/m3) was found at a depth of 30 cm in the very high hazard zone, the
maximum value (53.300 Bq/m3) at a depth of 60 cm in the seismically safe
zone. Measured soil gas radon concentrations at depths of 30, 40, 50, and 60
cm were mapped for high, moderate, and low radon concentrations. Elevated
soil radon gas concentrations were found in the safe zone, otherwise
considered to be suitable for any type of construction.
Logarithmic Bloch space and its predual
Authors: Pavlovic Miroslav
Published: November 2016

We consider the space B1log?, of analytic functions on the unit disk D,
defined by the requirement ?D|f?(z)|?(|z|) dA(z) < ?, where ?(r) =
log?(1/(1?r)) and show that it is a predual of the ?log?-Bloch? space and the
dual of the corresponding little Bloch space. We prove that a function
f(z)=??n=0 an zn with an ? 0 is in B1 log? iff ??n=0 log?(n+2)/(n+1) < ? and
apply this to obtain a criterion for membership of the Libera transform of a
function with positive coefficients in B1 log?. Some properties of the Cesaro
and the Libera operator are considered as well.
Inference rules for probability logic
Authors: Boricic Marija
Published: November 2016

Gentzen?s and Prawitz?s approach to deductive systems, and Carnap?s and
Popper?s treatment of probability in logic were two fruitful ideas of logic
in the mid-twentieth century. By combining these two concepts, the notion of
sentence probability, and the deduction relation formalized by means of
inference rules, we introduce a system of inference rules based on the
traditional proof-theoretic principles enabling to work with each form of
probabilized propositional formulae. Namely, for each propositional
connective, we define at least one introduction and one elimination rule,
over the formulae of the form A[a,b] with the intended meaning that ?the
probability c of truthfulness of a sentence A belongs to the interval [a,b]
?[0,1]?. It is shown that our system is sound and complete with respect to
the Carnap-Poper-type probability models.

also obtain a class of locally optimal alternatives for each test. In case of
small samples tests are compared with some common exponentiality tests.

« La protection du sexe fort » ? Quand la France est condamnée pour discrimination (1988–91)
Authors: Gallot Fanny
Published: November 2016

Dans son arrêt du 25 octobre 1988, la Cour de Justice des Communautés Européennes (CJCE) reproche à la France l'existence de droits particuliers pour les femmes qui ne concernent ni la grossesse ni la maternité et ne peuvent être considérés comme des mesures de rattrapage, seules mesures autorisées par la directive européenne n°76-207 du 9 février 1976 relative à l'égalité de traitement entre les hommes et les femmes. L'enjeu de cet article est de revenir sur la manière dont la France entend répondre à la condamnation de la CJCE et les débats suscités aux niveaux institutionnels et syndicaux, principalement. Ces droits particuliers pour les femmes tels que les congés pour enfants malades représentent-il une discrimination fondée sur le sexe allant à l'encontre des hommes ? Dans quelle mesure certains acquis des femmes se trouvent ainsi menacés ?
Dénonciation, régulation et réforme du droit de la famille par les groupes de pères séparés : ce que nous apprend la comparaison France-Québec
Authors: Fillod-Chabaud Aurélie
Published: November 2016

Les récentes mobilisations de pères séparés en France sont l'expression d'une cause qui a émergé dans les années 1970, à la suite des mobilisations féministes de l'époque. En Europe, comme en Amérique du Nord, ces groupes dénoncent une justice familiale qui favoriserait les femmes en leur attribuant majoritairement la résidence des enfants et en ne reléguant les pères qu'à leur statut de pourvoyeur, par le paiement d'une pension alimentaire. Bien que ces pères portent des revendications égalitaires en faveur d'un partage éducatif des enfants à la suite de la séparation des parents, leurs actions et discours valorisent en fait le maintien de la cellule familiale traditionnelle, en dénonçant les conséquences « catastrophiques » du divorce sur les enfants. À la lumière de la comparaison France-Québec, nous verrons les différents aspects que prend la dénonciation de la régulation des séparations conjugales, par les groupes de pères séparés.

Durant les dernières décennies, le nombre de « jeunes filles roumaines » confrontées à la justice a augmenté tout comme la romaphobie dans les pays d'Europe de l'Ouest. Dans cet article, je me penche sur le traitement institutionnel réservé aux « jeunes filles roumaines » confrontées à la justice des mineurs en France. Ma recherche, basée sur une enquête ethnographique au sein de deux tribunaux pour enfants et sur l'étude qualitative et quantitative de dossiers judiciaires, tente de rendre compte de l'existence de biais raciaux et genrés dans le processus judiciaire. Alors que les adolescentes dans leur ensemble sont généralement avantagées dans le processus judiciaire, quasiment jamais incarcérées (par opposition aux garçons, surreprésentés en détention), les jeunes filles roumaines sont de leur côté fréquemment poursuivies et condamnées à la prison. Elles sont ainsi traitées par l'institution « comme si elles étaient des garçons ».
On the Importance of Morphing Deformation Scheduling for Actuation Force and Energy
Authors: De Breuker Roeland , Werter Noud
Published: November 2016

Morphing aircraft offer superior properties as compared to non-morphing aircraft. They can achieve this by adapting their shape depending on the requirements of various conflicting flight conditions. These shape changes are often associated with large deformations and strains, and hence dedicated morphing concepts are developed to carry out the required changes in shape. Such intricate mechanisms are often heavy, which reduces, or even completely cancels, the performance increase of the morphing aircraft. Part of this weight penalty is determined by the required actuators and associated batteries, which are mainly driven by the required actuation force and energy. Two underexposed influences on the actuation force and energy are the flight condition at which morphing should take place and the order of the morphing manoeuvres, also called morphing scheduling. This paper aims at highlighting the importance of both influences by using a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with different morphing mechanisms as an example. The results in this paper are generated using a morphing aircraft analysis and design code that was developed at the Delft University of Technology. The importance of the flight condition and a proper morphing schedule is demonstrated by investigating the required actuation forces for various flight conditions and morphing sequences. More importantly, the results show that there is not necessarily one optimal flight condition or morphing schedule and a tradeoff needs to be made.
A Study on Combined Variable Geometries Regulation of Adaptive Cycle Engine during Throttling

The most remarkable variable cycle characteristic of the variable cycle engine (VCE) is that it keeps airflow almost constant during subsonic cruise throttling by modulating variable geometries, which can efficiently decrease spillage drag and increase installed thrust. One of the most critical challenges for the modulation lies in completely maintaining airflow, as well as avoiding specific fuel consumption (SFC) degradation during throttling. This has resulted in a need to investigate the modulation regulation of the adaptive cycle engine (ACE) which is a new concept for VCE and has greater potential for flexibly modulating airflow and pressure ratio. Thus, the aim of this paper is to study the variable geometries’ modulation schedule of ACE in maintaining airflow during throttling. A configuration of an ACE concept and its modeling study are first put forward. Then, the control schedule is researched via the combination of sensibility analysis and basic working principle instead of optimizing them directly. Results show that when the net thrust decreases from 100% to about 55% during subsonic cruise and to 32% during the supersonic cruise, the demand airflow of the engine is kept almost constant, which greatly improves the installed performance during throttling.

The purpose of this study was to design a powerful fibrous sorbent for recovering precious metals such as Pd(II) and Pt(IV), and moreover for identifying its selectivity toward Pd(II) or Pt(IV) from a binary metal solution. For the development of the sorbent, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was selected as a model textile because its morphological property (i.e., thin fiber form) is suitable for fast adsorption processes, and a high amount of PAN has been discharged from industrial textile factories. The PAN fiber was prepared by spinning a PAN–dimethylsulfoxide mixture into distilled water, and then its surface was activated through amidoximation so that the fiber surface could possess binding sites for Pd(II) and Pt(IV). Afterwards, by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses, it was confirmed that the amidoximation reaction successfully occurred. The surface-activated fiber, designated as PAN–oxime fiber, was used to adsorb and recover precious metals. In the experiment results, it was clearly observed that adsorption capacity of PAN–oxime fiber was significantly enhanced compared to the raw material form. Actually, the raw material does not have sorption capacity for the metals. In a comparison study with commercial sorbent (Amberjet™ 4200), it was found that adsorption capacity of PAN–oxime was rather lower than that of Amberjet™ 4200, however, in the aspects of sorption kinetics and metal selectivity, the new sorbent has much faster and better selectivity.

Published: November 2016

This study involved applying a design code change on a modular bridge design. The top flange of a modular T-girder bridge was examined by the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code Limit State Design (2015) and was compared with the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code (2010) in terms of the stability under the bending moment. In addition, the cross-sectional height and reinforcement amount were re-designed to obtain a safety factor similar to the original code. The reinforcement arrangement and development of the transverse joints were examined in the section considered. The result indicated that the application of the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code Limit State Design (2015) increased the bending moment safety factor and decreased the width of the transverse joints. The results of the re-design with respect to a safety factor similar to that in the Korean Highway Bridge Design Code (2010) indicated that it was possible to reduce the cross-sectional height and reinforcement amount. Furthermore, based on the obtained section, the results revealed that the width of the transverse joints could be reduced by changing the arrangement of lap splices from the straight bar to the loop.

Published: November 2016

Error averaging effect is one of the advantages of a parallel mechanism when individual errors are relatively large. However, further investigation is necessary to clarify the evidence with mathematical analysis and experiment. In the developed parallel coordinate measuring machine (PCMM), which is based on three pairs of prismatic-universal-universal joints (3-PUU), error averaging mechanism was investigated and is analyzed in this report. Firstly, the error transfer coefficients of various errors in the PCMM were studied based on the established error transfer model. It can be shown how the various original errors in the parallel mechanism are averaged and reduced. Secondly, experimental measurements were carried out, including angular errors and straightness errors of three moving sliders. Lastly, solving the inverse kinematics by numerical method of iteration, it can be seen that the final measuring errors of the moving platform of PCMM can be reduced by the error averaging effect in comparison with the attributed geometric errors of three moving slides. This study reveals the significance of the error averaging effect for a PCMM.

In this paper, the Ogden model is employed to characterize the hyperelastic properties of rubber, and on the basis of a pattern search algorithm and the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, a professional method that can realize the comprehensive fitting of the uniaxial tension, biaxial tension, planar tension, and simple shear experimental data of hyperelastic materials was developed. The experiment data from Treloar (1944) was fitted very well, and the determined parameters by using this method were proven correct and practical in the numerical verification in ANSYS. Then, the constitutive model of the hyper-viscoelastic materials combining the Ogden model with the generalized Maxwell model was explained in detail, and the parameter identification method was also proposed by using the pattern search method. Then, three groups of relaxation tests of uniaxial tension and four groups of simple shear tests with different loading velocities were conducted to obtain the corresponding virtual experiment data. After discussing the constraints and initial setting values for the undetermined parameters, these virtual data of different loading histories were respectively employed to identify the parameters in the hyper-elastic model, and the accuracy and the reliability of the estimated parameters were also verified in ANSYS.

In this work, the seasonal variations and sources of trace metal elements in atmospheric fine aerosols (PM2.5) were investigated for a year-long field campaign from July 2012 to June 2013, conducted in suburban Nanjing, eastern China, at a site adjacent to an industry zone. The PM2.5 samples collected across four seasons were analyzed for 17 metal elements, namely, Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminum (Al), Vanadium (V), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Arsenic (As), Selenium (Se), Strontium (Sr), Cadmium (Cd), Barium (Ba), Lead (Pb), Molybdenum (Mo), and Antimony (Sb) using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). We found that the total concentration of all 17 metal elements was 1.23 μg/m3, on average accounting for 1.0% of the total PM2.5 mass. For our data, mass concentrations of Al, Cd, Ba were highest in summer, Mg, Cu, Zn, Se, Pb peaked in autumn, Cr, Mn, Ni, As, Sr, Sb increased significantly in winter, while the concentrations of Na, V, Mo were at their highest levels in spring. Air mass back trajectory analysis suggested that air parcels that arrived at the site originated from four dominant regions (Japan, yellow sea and bohai; Southeast of China, the Pacific Ocean; Southwest of Jiangsu and Anhui province; Northern Asia inland and Mongolia region), in particular, the one from Northern Asia inland and Mongolia contained the highest concentrations of As, Sb, Sr, and was predominant in winter. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) analyses revealed that the industrial emission is the largest contributor (34%) of the observed metal elements, followed by traffic (25%), soil dust (19%), coal combustion (10%), incineration of electronic waste (9%), and a minor unknown source (3%). In addition, we have also investigated the morphology and composition of particles by using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) techniques, and identified particles from coal burning sources, etc., similar to the PMF results.
