Pengangguran merupakan salah satu masalah yang dihadapi oleh semua negara termasuk Indonesia. Pengangguran berimplikasi kepada munculnya kemiskinan. Demikian juga sebaliknya kemiskinan menjadikan banyaknya pengangguran. Mengatasi masalah pengangguran tidak hanya dilakukan dengan membuat program-program pengentasan kemiskinan dan pengangguran. Diperlukan adanya upaya yang terus-menerus yang ditunjang dengan kemampuan untuk membuka lapangan pekerjaan sendiri. Artinya mengatasi kemiskinan salah satunya dengan menanamkan jiwa wirausaha sehingga tidak tergantung pada lapangan kerja yang ada dan sangat terbatas. Untuk mencapai itu semua tidak hanya memberikan modal usaha yang dapat digunakan untuk membuka usaha baru. Akan tetapi diperlukan adanya pelatihan yang lebih kepada membengkitkan dan mengembangkan jiwa wirausaha dalam  masyarakat.Tujuan dari pelatihan wirausaha tentunya tidak akan mengarahkan masyarakat atau pelaku UKM untuk membuat usaha baru. Terpenting bahwa pelatihan wirausaha yang diberikan adalah membantu pelaku UKM untuk melihat peluang usaha dan pasar baru dengan melihat dari sudut yang berbeda. Sudut berbeda tersebut lebih diarahkan kepada perlunya ada inovasi baru dari usaha yang sekarang telah dijalankan.Metode yang digunakan dalam pelatihan ini tidak lagi menggunakan ceramah. Metode yang digunakan lebih kepada pembelajaran orang dewasa. Pembelajaran orang dewasa ini lebih ditekankan kepada bagaimana peserta pelatihan yaitu para pelaku UKM dapat menggali segala masalah dan potensi yang dimiliki oleh dirinya maupun lingkungannya. Setelah itu dengan brainstornming peserta diajak untuk membuat alternatif-alternatif pemecahan masalah dengan berdasarkan potensi yang ada.Hasil pelatihan memperlihatkan bahwa peserta pelatihan semakin terbuka matanya bahwa untuk memperoleh hasil yang maksimal tentunya tidak hanya berdiam diri dengan apa yang telah dicapai. Diperlukan adanya sudut pandang baru dalam memandang usaha yang telah dilakukan. Untuk mendukung sudut pandang baru tersebut tentunya harus diimplementasikan dalam praktik. Praktik dari inovasi tersebut adalah inovasi produk baru dari produk-prodrk yang sudah ada. Dengan adanya inovasi produk yang didasarkan dari potensi yang ada maka akan membuka pasar baru sehingga akan membuka ekspansi bisnis baru.

Ethico-political engagement and the self-constituting subject in Foucault
Authors: Ucnik Lenka
Published: July 2018

Foucault is critical of the tendency to reduce all social and political problems according to predetermined ends and verifiable procedures. For Foucault, philosophical activity is a condition of possibility for the articulation of the question of the self. Inspired by his work on the desiring subject, Foucault begins to explore the ethical and political implications of self-care for modern day concerns. He presents an account of self-care that centres on developing an attitude that questions the personal relationship to truth, and puts to test those ideas and truths held most dearly. Processes of self-care evaluate the consistency between those truths a person regards as necessary and a person’s actions in the world. Interested in the ways in which people see themselves as subjects, Foucault directs his attention to the connection between systems of knowledge, power, and practices of the self. Crucial to Foucault’s process is the recognition that the self-subject is not given and does not have ontological precedence, and that subjectivity is transformable. By finding the lines and fractures in external and internal modes of objectification Foucault hopes to open up the space of freedom to bring about transformative events. The care of the self serves as a form of critique and resistance where it is both a way of living and acting in the world, and a critical response to a particular time and place.
The ethical context of social philosophy in contemporary India
Authors: Hajko Dalimír , Török Ľuboš
Published: July 2018

Public and academic philosophical thinking in contemporary India provides evidence that philosophy and religion have never been truly separated, although there have been attempts to bring philosophy closer to science and, thus, create two autonomous systems. In light of these changes, P. V. Athavale, C. T. K. Chari, N. S. Prasad and some other authors have formed and are developing modern ethical and social theories. Moreover, feminism and gender studies have appeared in the panorama of changing philosophical and sociological thinking in India, embracing gender equality in contemporary Indian society. There has been increasing interest in sociological research and a critical interpretation of Mahatma Gandhi’s spiritual message in the cause of India’s independence, whose thoughts authors engaged in contemporary ethical problems believe to be impractical and useless today. Existentialism as a philosophical stream earned broad public acceptance and played a significant role in the history of modern philosophical thinking in India in the second half of the 20th century.
Spruce tree-ring reductions in relation to air pollution and human diseases a case study from Southern Poland
Authors: Rutkiewicz Paweł , Malik Ireneusz
Published: July 2018

The study was conducted in two small municipalities in Małopolskie voivodeship in Southern Poland. Both municipalities are located in mountain basins in the Western Beskids mountain range.Cores were taken from trees growing near the centre of Rabka-Zdrój and Sucha Beskidzka in order to analyse the impact of contemporary air pollution on the health of tree stands. Annual tree rings developed during the era of high atmospheric pollution are usually narrower than the others. These municipalities were chosen due to their current air pollution problems despite their relatively small population.Local chronology, skeleton plots and calculated ring reductions were created for the sample trees. Temporal relationships between air pollution and a negative health reaction in trees and in people were also examined. To fulfil this objective the dates of occurrence of tree-ring reductions were compared with the concentration of particulates (PM10) in the atmosphere and also lung disease morbidity in the local population. Two periods of reduced annual tree rings were detected: first from the 1960s to the end of the 1980s (associated with industrial pollution) and more recently the years since 2003. Since 2003 reductions of annual tree rings have increased in parallel with increases in dust pollution. This reaction of trees to dust pollution was immediate. The negative reaction of trees preceded several years of increasing lung disease morbidity. This gives basic evidence to support the argument that tree ring reductions could be used as an early bioindicator for warning against the risk of air pollution. The aim of this work was to determine the periods of reduction in the annual growth of spruce growing near the centre of Rabka-Zdrój and Sucha Beskidzka. In addition, potential associations were sought between the time of occurrence of these periods and changes in air pollution and human disease.
Ignoring Digital Templating Leads to Prosthetic Overhang in Total Knee Replacement
Authors: Zadorožnijs Sergejs , Kalnbērzs Konstantīns
Published: July 2018

Published studies on the accuracy of digital templating in total knee replacement (TKR) have employed standard knee, but not hip-to-ankle radiographs. A retrospective study was conducted in our hospital on patients undergoing TKR due to osteoarthritis in a period of six consecutive months. Templating was performed using a calibrating 25 mm metallic ball and Agfa Orthopaedic Tools software by a surgeon not involved with the operation. The surgeon performing the templating was blinded to the size of the implants inserted. Postoperative knee anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were then checked for the presence of prosthetic overhang of ≥ 3 mm. In total, 132 Caucasian adults were included in the study. Femoral overhang occurred in 33%, whereas tibial overhang in only 6% of cases. The exclusion of prosthetic overhang cases significantly improved the accuracy of size detection; exact match for femur increased from 55% to 69%, and for tibia from 70% to 73%. All implants were predicted to within one size in all cases. Digital templating using a calibrating 25 mm metallic ball, Agfa Orthopaedic Tools software and hip-to-ankle and knee lateral radiographs is an accurate method of predicting the knee implant to within one size. Ignoring this procedure leads to prosthetic overhang.
Descriptive Analysis of Acceptance by Prescribers and Economic Benefit of Pharmacist Recommended Interventions in a Critical Care Unit
Authors: Lee YoonJung , Gettman Lana
Published: July 2018

Background: Pharmacist clinical intervention is defined as the action that identifies and prevents medication-related problems and optimizes patient’s medication therapy in cooperation with other healthcare professionals. Types of clinical interventions may vary, but each is patient specific. Few studies have focused on clinical pharmacists interventions in a critical care setting at a rural hospital.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess physician acceptance rate of pharmacist-recommended interventions in the critical care unit (CCU) at a rural hospital over five years and to evaluate the economic benefit of accepted pharmacist-recommended interventions over a one-year time period.

Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review over a five-year time period. Each intervention was categorized and analyzed for acceptance or non-acceptance by the treating physician. Evaluation of economic benefit, cost saving and cost avoidance, for a one-year time period was performed.

Results: A total of 1275 interventions were documented during study period. The average acceptance rate for documented interventions was 56%. The acceptance rate by physicians increased over the study period; with the acceptance rate in 2013 being statistically significantly higher than any other years. The overall cost saving for selected interventions was $432 for the one year. The overall cost avoidance of all accepted interventions for the one year was $453,339.36-$468,327.62.

Conclusion: Clinical pharmacists provide various types of interventions to improve patient care. The analysis of potential cost saving and cost avoidance of selected interventions illustrated a positive economic outcome.

DISCURSOS DE ÓDIO EM MEIOS VIRTUAIS E O EXERCÍCIO DA LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO: O JUDICIÁRIO BRASILEIRO EM TRÊS ATOS
Authors: Lima Jefferson Do Nascimento de Souza , Cardoso Fernando Da Silva
Published: July 2018

O presente estudo problematiza os limites do exercício da liberdade de expressão em meios virtuais e o discurso de ódio. Destarte, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa consistiu analisar de que forma o Judiciário brasileiro tem interpretado as interseções entre discursos de ódio em meios virtuais e o exercício da liberdade de expressão. O estudo se utiliza do método dialético e de abordagem qualitativa. Os tipos de pesquisa adotados o bibliográfico e descritiva. A técnica de coleta de dados foi a documental, por meio de julgados encontrados no Tribunal de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro, Superior Tribunal de Justiça e Supremo Tribunal Federal, categorizados à luz análise de conteúdo. Quanto à primeira categoria analítica eleita, constatou-se que os votos dos Ministros foram embasados em teses distintas para a delimitar os limites entre a liberdade de expressão e o discurso de ódio. Descaracteriza-se o crime de racismo, na tese defendida, a partir do argumento de que quando o constituinte quis se referir à raça apenas quanto a população negra, não sendo possível aludir aos judeus enquanto tais. Ainda, quanto a esta categoria, vê-se que também se utiliza de fatos histórico-bíblicos para fundamentar a decisão. Por outro lado, se fundamenta a decisão do primeiro julgado analisado a partir do postulado do princípio da proporcionalidade, seja em sua aliança com a perspectiva sobre dignidade da pessoa humana, como meio de solução de conflitos, ou no sentido de invocá-la para afirmar que o princípio da liberdade de expressão deve prevalecer sobre a situação de racismo envolvida. Na segunda categoria analítica concluiu-se que a decisão se inspira no caso analisado inicialmente – reconhecido como o marco do debate sobre discurso de ódio no Brasil – ao retomar os fundamentos do princípio da proporcionalidade e da dignidade como ponderadores do caso em questão. Por fim, e de forma controversa, inferiu-se da última categoria analítica que a decisão do caso colocado não se utiliza do princípio da proporcionalidade – como se vê firmado nos outros julgados analisados – tendo, ao contrário, legitimado o discurso de ódio contra minorias sexuais.
REFLEXÕES SOBRE A DISCRICIONARIEDADE JUDICIAL EM KELSEN E FERRAJOLI: UMA COMPARAÇÃO EPISTEMOLÓGICA ENTRE A TEORIA PURA DO DIREITO E O GARANTISMO PENAL
Authors: Gomes Marcus Alan De Melo , Bispo Andrea Ferreira
Published: July 2018

O presente artigo parte de revisão bibliográfica para apresentar o sentido da discricionariedade no Garantismo penal de Luigi Ferrajoli. Para tanto, empreende uma comparação epistemológica com o pensamento de Hans Kelsen que, em sua Teoria Pura do Direito, promove uma cisão entre ciência jurídica e aplicação do direito para afirmar que nesta sempre haverá um espaço irredutível reservado à discricionariedade dos magistrados, cujas decisões acabam sendo permeadas por conteúdos que não podem ser tomados como produto da ciência, e que devem constituir, portanto, objeto de estudo da política do direito, e não da teoria do direito. Por outro lado, em Direito e Razão, Ferrajoli recorre à epistemologia dos direitos fundamentais como instrumento para reduzir os espaços de discricionariedade judicial. O objetivo deste ensaio consiste em analisar o modelo garantista para perscrutar sua identificação com a política do direito ou com a teoria geral do direito, levando em conta o sentido moral dos direitos fundamentais e sua compatibilidade com a discricionariedade judicial.
DERECHO INTERNACIONAL AMBIENTAL Y EL PRINCIPIO DE PRECAUCIÓN
Authors: Roa Luiz Arturo Ramirez
Published: July 2018

La toma de conciencia de la crisis ambiental, como una amenaza que cuestiona la bondad y la viabilidad del proyecto moderno de desarrollo, viene generando una propuesta universal bajo la etiqueta del desarrollo sustentable en el marco del Derecho Internacional Ambiental que se enmarca en el intento de construir un nuevo orden jurídico internacional que los países deben colocar en desarrollo bajo el principio de precaución, objeto permanente hoy de debate en tecnoética, en bioética, justicia ambiental y en teoría de la sostenibilidad desde mediados de la década de 1990, cuando fue repetidamente invocado como argumento en las decisiones gubernamentales de los Estados europeos a propósito de la epidemia de “vacas locas”. A nivel internacional su eclosión se produce en la Declaración de Rio (1992) y, en Estados Unidos emerge con la Declaración de Wingspread (1998). Las experiencias nada saludables como las catástrofes sanitarias, alimentarias, ambientales, etc., han llevado a concluir que determinadas formas de contaminación y destrucción del hábitat son del todo irreparables; y que no sólo afectan a las generaciones futuras sino, básicamente, a nosotros mismos, a nuestra salud y a nuestra economía. El “principio de precaución” funciona progresivamente como criterio no sólo ético sino político y jurídico, precisamente porque en el horizonte de las sociedades postindustriales se hace presente la posibilidad racional no sólo del riesgo sino de la catástrofe irreparable. La precaución se vuelve, pues, imprescindible como herramienta de supervivencia personal y colectiva.

Soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator riociguat and phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor sildenafil increase cGMP content and have proven clinical efficacy in PAH treatment. The potentially beneficial mechanisms of riociguat mechanism of action include endogen NO independence in cGMP synthesis and its independence from other phosphodiesterase isoferments (other than PDE5). Clinical options, safety and effectiveness of iPDE5 - riociguat transition in patients with PAH were for the first time shown in non-controlled study RESPITE and the assessment is continued in randomized placebo-controlled trial REPLACE.
Concentrated Evolution of Global Banking and Develo- pment Strategy Adjustment of Chinaâ€™s Banking
Authors: Li Huanli , Fu Yaqi
Published: July 2018

According to the studies based on theÂ British magazine The Banker and the data of theÂ central banks of the United States, Japan, and Britain,Â in the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century,Â the trend of global concentration of banking andÂ country concentration were obvious. Although theÂ concentration trend of banking has slowed sinceÂ the international financial crisis, it is still runningÂ at a high level, which has changed the competitiveÂ environment and landscape of global banking. TheÂ development trend of global banking and the bankingÂ of traditional financial powers is from deconcentrationÂ to concentration. Different from it, the developmentÂ trend of Chinaâ€™s banking is obviously from concentration to deconcentration. In order to promote theÂ implementation of the internationalization strategy ofÂ Chinaâ€™s banking, we should make adjustments to theÂ financial system in terms of maintaining the relativeÂ concentration of banking, piloting the bank holdingÂ company system, and encouraging mainstream banksÂ to expand overseas business.
Taming grey rhinoceros: China needs to release financial risks urgently
Authors: Liu Shengjun
Published: July 2018

At present, the â€œgrey rhinocerosâ€ in Chinaâ€™sÂ financial sector mainly exists in the real estate bubbleÂ and enterprise debt accumulation. In order to releaseÂ the financial risks accumulated in the past, on theÂ one hand, we should weaken the economic growthÂ indicators, resolve to eliminate the zombie enterprises,Â neutralize the monetary policy and change the incentiveÂ mechanism of the officialsâ€™ assessment. On the otherÂ hand, we should also encourage the ideologicalÂ emancipation to stabilize the expectation and furtherÂ promote streamlining government and delegatingÂ authorities.

lactation months on the content of all fatty acids in the milk were also
detected statistically important (p<0.05).
Effects of Feed Additives Used As an Alternative to Antibiotics on Mineral Absorption and Bone Characteristics in Poultry: A Review
Authors: Ustundag Ahmet Onder , Ozdogan Mursel
Published: July 2018

Calcium
and phosphorus are essential
minerals for some important biochemical functions and bone integrity.
Deficiency in rations or poor absorption of these minerals is an important
problem in poultry nutrition, especially high producing laying hens and
broilers, leading to economic losses such as deterioration of eggshell and bone
characteristics as a result of mineral metabolism disorders. Therefore,
maximization of absorption and bioavailability of these nutrients from the gut
can be practical for preventing mineral metabolism disorders. Antibiotics
widely used as growth promoters for many years in animal nutrition. After the
prohibition of antibiotics, the research for alternatives to antibiotics has
accelerated. Probiotics, prebiotics and organic acids are some of these
alternatives. Most of the earlier studies showed that probiotics, prebiotics,
and organic acids increased the mineral absorption and metabolism. In this
review, effects of probiotics, prebiotics and organic acids on mineral
utilization and bone characteristics in poultry are deliberated.

Published: July 2018

Mistakes and errors in pronunciation will affect meaning distribution of certain words. In other words, one might have different interpretation for a certain message because of mispronunciation. In communication using English, pronunciation issues are mostly triggered by irregularity of letters’ pronunciation in which the sounds might be different from the letters. It surely becomes a hindrance in classroom English learning. The use of Oxford dictionary employing phonetiks symbols can be an alternative to overcome mispronunciation problems. Different from common Indonesian-English dictionary, its contents are entirely presented in English. It offers certain challenges to students. Besides, students must also be able to read phonetiks symbols in order to pronounce words appropriately. This Community Service is aimed at introducing oxford dictionary as well as training students to read phonetiks symbols which are the reference in pronouncing English words correctly. During the workshop, students showed a great enthusiasm and all activities ran well. It is expected that form that point forward, students will be used to using Oxford dictionary and mispronunciation problems can be avoided.
Aluminothermic production of titanium alloys (Part 2): Impact of activated rutile on process sustainability
Authors: Hassan-Pour S. , Vonderstein C. , Achimovičová M. , Vogt V. , Gock E. , Friedrich B.
Published: July 2018

The aluminothermic process provides a cost-reduced production method for titanium and titanium alloys by reduction of TiO2 with subsequent refining by electroslag remelting The aluminothermy involves high heating rates, high temperatures and short reactions times combined with a self-propagating behaviour of the reaction. By co-reduction of TiO2 and oxides of alloying elements such as vanadium pentoxide, direct synthesis of a titanium alloy is possible. The use of rutile ore concentrates causes a further reduction of process steps. In order to charge rutile ore complex thermodynamic calculations are required taking enthalpy input of various bycomponents into account. The aluminothermic reduction is conventionally enhanced by a highly heatproviding reaction based on the reduction of KClO4. In order to minimize the use of chlorine-based products extensive studies are made to investigate the feasibility of using mechanically activated rutile as input material for the aluminothermic process. Due to the mechanical activation the intrinsic enthalpy of the reaction is increased thus facilitates a process with reduced amount of KClO4. A major challenge represents the determination of a compromise between low activation duration and reduced KClO4 amount. In order to define the process window parameters like intrinsic chemical energy (enthalpy of the reaction mixture), equilibrium temperature and physical properties (particle size and mixing degree) were optimized. After adjusting the process parameters it is possible to save up to 42 % KClO4 for the ATR reaction with 2h activated input material. This reduction of KClO4 material affects a decrease of the produced gaseous compounds and the subsequent off-gas cleaning system.
Microstructure and impression creep characteristics Al-9Si-xCu aluminum alloys
Authors: Yousefi Mohsen , Dehnavi Mehdi , Miresmaeili S.M.
Published: July 2018

The effects of 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 wt.% Cu additions on the microstructure and creep behavior of the as-cast Al-9Si alloy were investigated by impression tests. The tests were performed at temperature ranging from 493 to 553 K and under punching stresses in the range 300 to 414 MPa for dwell times up to 3000 seconds. The results showed that, for all loads and temperatures, the Al–9Si–3.5Cu alloy had the lowest creep rates and thus, the highest creep resistance among all materials tested. This is attributed to the formation of hard intermetallic compound of Al2Cu, and higher amount of α-Al2Cu eutectic phase. The stress exponent and activation energy are in the ranges of 5.2- 7.2 and 115 -150 kJ/ mol, respectively for all alloys. According to the stress exponent and creep activation energies, the lattice and pipe diffusion- climb controlled dislocation creep were the dominant creep mechanism.

Published: July 2018

The texture, microhardness, and corrosion resistance of cold worked 316L steel were evaluated. The X-ray diffraction analysis in particular permitted to disclose and identify the main textures variations in the structure of the investigated steel after its deformation within the range 10 - 80%. The corrosion resistance was studied using Tafel polarization tests. It was shown that the increase in deformation degree drastically decreases the relative intensity of {111} planes. Besides, with high degree of cold deformation microhardness increases while corrosion resistance deteriorates.  This article has been retracted. Link to the retraction
A Comparison between Thin-Film Transistors Deposited by Hot-Wire Chemical Vapor Deposition and PECVD
Authors: Zarchi Meysam , Ahangarani Shahrokh
Published: July 2018

The effect of new growth techniques on the mobility and stability of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFTs) has been studied. It was suggested that the key parameter controlling the field-effect mobility and stability is the intrinsic stress in the a-Si:H layer. Amorphous and microcrystalline silicon films were deposited by radiofrequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) and hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HW-CVD) at 100 ºC and 25 ºC. Structural properties of these films were measured by Raman Spectroscopy. Electronic properties were measured by dark conductivity, σd, and photoconductivity, σph. For amorphous silicon films deposited by RF-PECVD on PET, photosensitivity's of >105 were obtained at both 100 º C and 25 ºC. For amorphous silicon films deposited by HW-CVD, a photosensitivity of > 105 was obtained at 100 ºC. Microcrystalline silicon films deposited by HW-CVD at 95% hydrogen dilution show σph~ 10-4 Ω-1cm-1, while maintaining a photosensitivity of ~102 at both 100 ºC and 25 ºC. Microcrystalline silicon films with a large crystalline fraction (> 50%) can be deposited by HW-CVD all the way down to room temperature.
Effect of Stirring Speed and Flow Pattern on the Microstructure of a Rheocast Al-Mg Alloy
Authors: Melali P. , Ashtijoo P. , Niroumand B.
Published: July 2018

The effect of stirring speed and the flow pattern inside a processing crucible were examined in this study. This investigation was performed on the microstructure of mechanically stirred Al–8% Mg. Results reveal that by increasing the stirring speed, morphology of primary particles becomes finer and more spherical. By using baffles, the flow pattern inside the crucible changes. This change causes the melt to accelerate along the crucible wall and producing the finer structure, more spherical and nondendritic. the model, named as nucleation and separation from the wall, posses the ability to explain the microstructure evolution in semi solid fabricated slurry. It must be mentioned that the other model named “fragmentation-agglomeration’’ cannot explain the changes in microstructure by using baffles.

The aim of this investigation was to determine the influence of the recrystallization temperature and recrystallization time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the PdNi5 alloy subjected to cold deformation in the process of rolling at a constant deformation degree. The samples of PdNi5 alloy were recrystallization annealed within the temperature range of 200-1000ºC and annealing time range of 20-45 min after cold rolling with deformation degree of 97%. The tensile test was carried out using universal material testing machine. The hardness was also measured on the combined device for measuring Vickers and Brinell hardness. Metallographic observations were performed on an optical microscope. The analysis of the results of investigations regarding the microstructural changes and corresponding mechanical properties of cold-rolled PdNi5 strips shows that annealing temperature of 500ºC was sufficient to activate the energy for various recrystallization processes causing a change in the mechanical properties of cold-rolled PdNi5 strips. The annealing time, at constant annealing temperature, almost did not affect a recrystallization temperature and the mechanical properties of the cold-rolled PdNi5 strips.

Published: July 2018

This work concerns microstructural and mechanical properties of an austempered ductile cast iron (ADI). The ductile iron material was produced by the sand mould casting technique. Afterwards, austempering heat treatment was applied to the specimens at two different temperatures of 250°C and 350°C. Austempered Ductile Irons (ADIs) were produced successfully by different two-stage heat treatments, to obtain favorable microstructure and hardness. The microstructure and hardness obtained by such variable heat treatments were compared. The austempering temperature and time were found to be decisive parameters in obtaining a desired ADI microstructure.

Jet engine turbine blade cast by investment precision casting of Ni-base superalloy, which failed during exploatation, was the subject of investigation. Failure analysis was executed applying optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using replica technique, scaning electron microscopy (SEM) and stress rupture life tests. On the ground of obtained results it was concluded that the failure occurred as a result of structural changes caused by turbine blade overheating above the exploitation temperature.

The effect of cooling rate of cane molasses as quenching medium for 0.61% C high carbon steels was investigated. Samples of high carbon steel were spheroidized annealed and then machined prior to the hardening process. Molasses solution of viscosity equals to that of engine oil was prepared by adding water. The samples were normalized and then austenitised at 800oC and soaked for 40 minutes and then quenched in water, engine oil, raw molasses and the prepared molasses solution. Cooling rate curves of all the quenching media used were developed. The highest cooling rate of 60oC/s was attained by the prepared molasses solution. Hardness of the test samples was evaluated. The test results obtained show that the highest hardness value (525 HVN) was obtained from the sample quenched in the prepared molasses solution. Microstructures of the various samples were analyzed using OM and SEM. In all the tests samples martensite structure was observed. It was observed that the prepared molasses solution has higher severity of quenching than that of engine oil but lower than that of water. The research showed that cane molasses can harden high carbon steel without cracking the component in the same way as engine oil, hence, molasses could be a very good alternative to engine oil for use as quenching medium.

Published: July 2018

This paper deals with the (Ni-Cr- xAl2O3) metallic composites (MCCs). Restraining of of thermal expansion at adequate mechanical and corrosion properties is the main objective of this work. Composites are fabricated with four weight percentages of (x = 1, 2, 5 and 10% Al2O3). Compacting and sintering has accomplished at (636 MPa) and 1250oC for 7 hrs. All sintered compacts were examined for phases and microstructure featuring. Results have indicated, the incorporation of Al2O3 with the matrix is due to the efficient sintering conditions, that diminishing the grain growth and increasing the softening temperature from 850°C to become 1350°C. Volume expansion appeared in the base sintered composites (NiCr-xAl2O3) due to pores evolution according to SEM observation. As, the Al2O3 has increased, the microhardness and corrosion resistance have improved. DSC results show a clear one exothermic and one endothermic reaction were occurred during the heating cycle. Corrosion behavior of fabricated composites was estimated by polarization curves using Potentiostat at scan rate 3 mV.sec-1. Potential-time measurements showed the formation of protective layer on surface composites compared with Ni-Cr base composite through an obtaining of the nobler open circuit potentials for composites. Corrosion parameters were estimated by the Tafel extrapolation method, these parameters indicated that the corrosion potential shifted toward a positive direction in addition to get lower corrosion current density especially for Ni-Cr/5%Alumina composite.

Published: July 2018

Internal defects are among the problems in gravity casting of aluminum parts. The main internal volumetric defects are gas and shrinkage defects which form during solidification of the melt and drastically reduce the quality of the produced parts. These defects adversely affect the mechanical properties of thin walled castings parts. In this study, ceramic nanoparticles coatings were applied on the sand mold and the effect of mold coatings on the reduction of defects were investigated. X-ray radiography was used to detect defects in sand molds with ceramic nanoparticles coatings. For comparison, this test was performed on molds with micro-ceramic and graffiti coatings and uncoated sand mold. The results showed that the maximum amount of gas and shrinkage defects was observed in casting parts from AL4-1 alloy in uncoated molds. On the other hand, the minimum defects were found in molds coated with ceramic nanoparticles. It seems that the reduced defects in casting parts in molds coated with ceramic nanoparticles may be due to high thermal and chemical stability and higher heat transfer rate of the coating. These results can facilitate the production of high quality aluminum alloys parts using nanotechnology.

Effect of reagent type on the froth floatation of Sokoto phosphate ore for its beneficiation has been established. The samples of the Sokoto phosphate mineral ore used for the research work were sourced from mining locations in Dange-Shuni, Bodinga, Yabo, Wurno, and Rabbah Local Government Areas of Sokoto State. Size-Assay analysis conducted on scrubbed Sokoto Phosphates nodules revealed that nodules had a size distribution with 80% passing 29.3 mm. Flotation Tests using AERO704 (fatty Acid), Alkyl Hydroxamates, Melamine as collectors (alone or mixed with diesel), MIBC as frother, Calcium Hydroxide and Sulphuric Acid as pH regulators and Dextrin, Sodium Silicate and Aluminium Chloride as depressants produced poor P2O5 separation in the flotation products due to very poor liberation associated with very fine mineral grains. Based on the results obtained, AERO704 Collector gave the best result with aP2O5 recovery pH of 10.

Effect of particle size on the froth floatation of Sokoto phosphate ore for its beneficiation has been investigated and established. The research has been conducted using various reagents, pH(s) at different sieve size fractions. Bench scale flotation tests were carried out on -250+180μm, -180+106μm, -106+75μm, -75+45μm and -45+38μm particle size fractions after screening in order to determine the optimum flotation feed size distribution using 1 liter Denver flotation cell. The results of the scoping flotation studies using a conditioning Pulp Density of 60%Solids, pH9, 800g/t reagent dosage for AERO704 Promoter (Fatty Acid) and flotation pulp density of 28.5% Solids show that +106μm particle size gave the highest assay content of 20.4% P2O5 with a recovery of 76.2% compared to +38μm (19.9%P2O5 and recovery of 43.2%) and +180μm (19.4%P2O5 and 24.1% recovery) in their floats (concentrates) but with no perfect separation as the tailings fraction also contained similar grades with slight differences.

Published: July 2018

Preliminary investigation of forged brackets produced of S355 J2+(N) steel is presented in this research work. Performed investigation was intended to approve predicted production technology. First, all stages in the complex production process chain were defined, starting from the construction of the forging die, heating of the pieces of raw material, preforming, forging of the piece, frying and stress relieving. Confirmation of the proposed production parameters was performed with an application of appropriate computer program DEFORM F3 Ver10. After performing the forging process, mechanical and microstructural investigations of the produced forging parts were done. These investigations confirmed that preliminary proposed forging process meets all requirements concerning quality of the forged brackets. It means that undesirable forging defects were not detected and mechanical properties (tensile strength and hardness) of the forgings are in accordance with standard requirements.
